00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:27.800
Thank you. Thank you.

4
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:32.560
Thank you. Wow. Thank you very much.

5
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.880
Oh.

6
00:00:36.720 --> 00:00:38.560
Thank you. Okay.

7
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:40.880
Okay, shush.

8
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:42.200
Thank you.

9
00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:46.400
Sh… Uh, uh, honestly,
I'm overwhelmed, but shush.

10
00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:48.080
Thank you so much.

11
00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:51.720
Thank you. Um, welcome to the show.

12
00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:53.880
It's great to be back
with a brand-new special.

13
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:58.600
Um, my last special only dropped
on Netflix the Christmas before last.

14
00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:02.840
And in that special, I talked about
the previous special going to number one

15
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:04.760
because of all the complaints.

16
00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:08.320
And the silly cunts did it again. I mean…

17
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.760
When will they learn?
It's like… Honestly. It's…

18
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:14.280
"Ban it. Ban it. Ban it from the…"

19
00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:16.680
Number one, everywhere. I…

20
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.120
My name, like, trended
for three days that Christmas.

21
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:22.800
I wasn't the only comedian
who trended that Christmas.

22
00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:25.480
Do you know the comedian Rosie Jones?

23
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.280
She's got cerebral palsy,
and she was on a… a TV quiz show,

24
00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:32.760
and the… the trolls came out on Twitter,
going, "She's not funny."

25
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:34.920
"You're only saying that
'cause she's disabled."

26
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.040
"You're only defending her
'cause she's disabled." Back and forth.

27
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.520
But that wasn't
her biggest controversy of the year.

28
00:01:40.600 --> 00:01:41.680
This is a true story.

29
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.200
Earlier that year, Rosie Jones
made a documentary for Channel 4

30
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.960
about her condition, her plight,
some of the trolling she gets,

31
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.520
some of the insults
she gets called, right?

32
00:01:52.600 --> 00:01:54.840
And she provocatively
called the documentary,

33
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:56.360
Am I a R*tard?

34
00:01:56.440 --> 00:01:59.160
Yeah. Great. Power to her, right.

35
00:01:59.240 --> 00:02:03.400
Now, the people who complained
were disability campaigners.

36
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:04.560
They had a go at her.

37
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.560
They went, "You can't use that word."
She went, "What? Why?"

38
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.480
They said,
"Because you're physically disabled."

39
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.120
"That's a derogatory term
for people with mental disabilities."

40
00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:16.080
"If you wanna use a derogatory term,
use one that describes your condition."

41
00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:19.400
So basically,
Rosie Jones said, "Am I a retard?"

42
00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:21.160
And disability campaigners said,

43
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:22.600
"No, you're a spastic."

44
00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:27.320
That's… That's harsh, isn't it?

45
00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:30.520
I mean…

46
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.560
It's context. She was…
She was using it to empower people.

47
00:02:35.640 --> 00:02:38.160
She was called that.
She didn't go, "No, that's not me."

48
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.920
She… she sort of embraced it
and, you know, reclaimed the word.

49
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.240
So disability campaigners are saying,
"No, you gotta be very specific."

50
00:02:46.320 --> 00:02:51.520
"Only people who are actually retarded
can use the word 'retard,'" right?

51
00:02:51.600 --> 00:02:55.080
But who's gonna tell 'em? Who's…
You know what I mean? Who's gonna…

52
00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:00.280
You're not gonna go into a room
and there's, like, Bubba sort of…

53
00:03:01.640 --> 00:03:03.560
…lying on the floor, crayoning, right?

54
00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:06.600
And you go, "All right, Bubba?"

55
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.080
He goes… "Yeah?"
Oh, no, don't. Sh. Don't, don't, don't.

56
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:12.960
It's a tightrope. Let's leave…

57
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.920
He goes, "Yeah?"
You go, "You know you can say 'retard'?"

58
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:19.480
"Why?"

59
00:03:20.600 --> 00:03:22.880
"Think, you thick cunt. Just think."

60
00:03:27.160 --> 00:03:31.120
Anyway, I think she should be allowed
to use the word, in context.

61
00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:33.040
If she can't use the word, then I…

62
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:35.640
I've used the word now,
so I'm in trouble, again.

63
00:03:35.720 --> 00:03:38.560
Actually, I didn't use the word.
This is a point I wanna make.

64
00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:40.840
People say,
"Oh, he used the word so-and-so."

65
00:03:40.920 --> 00:03:42.160
I didn't use the word.

66
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.360
Using the word
would be calling someone that word.

67
00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:46.560
That's using the word.

68
00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:50.640
I said the word
in a discussion about the fucking word.

69
00:03:51.160 --> 00:03:54.320
That should be allowed,
shouldn't it, amongst adults?

70
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.040
If there's one thing we should agree on,

71
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.520
whatever side
of the political fence you're on,

72
00:03:58.600 --> 00:04:02.680
we should all agree that free speech
is still a really good thing.

73
00:04:02.760 --> 00:04:05.160
It always has been…

74
00:04:06.600 --> 00:04:08.320
…and it always will be.

75
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.240
But now there's factions of people going,
"No, we got it wrong. We don't like it."

76
00:04:12.320 --> 00:04:16.280
"We've changed our mind.
We don't like free speech anymore."

77
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.120
"People who want free speech,
they only want free speech

78
00:04:19.200 --> 00:04:21.120
so they can go around
saying awful things."

79
00:04:21.200 --> 00:04:23.520
Which just isn't true, and even if it was,

80
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.760
the good thing about free speech
is people can say awful things back.

81
00:04:26.840 --> 00:04:28.320
It's a really good system, right?

82
00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:31.640
And you can't say anything
under the laws of free speech.

83
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.120
That's a total misconception.

84
00:04:33.200 --> 00:04:37.600
There are loads of caveats to free speech,
all of which I agree with, actually.

85
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.080
You can't incite violence. Good rule.

86
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.400
You can't slander people. Good rule.

87
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:44.720
You can't libel people, you know?

88
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.600
Fascinating fact about libel law.

89
00:04:48.440 --> 00:04:50.440
You can't libel the dead.

90
00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:52.480
So I could stand here and say,

91
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.440
"Gandhi used to take it up the arse."

92
00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.040
If I wanted.

93
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.520
Which I do. I do.

94
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.120
But free speech
is the most important human right,

95
00:05:10.200 --> 00:05:11.840
from which all other rights come.

96
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.600
Without free speech,
you couldn't have human rights.

97
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:16.640
We've got free speech, in theory,

98
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.600
in this country,
for a little while longer.

99
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.960
We can criticize the government.
We can criticize the police.

100
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.520
We should give props to a country
that allows us to do that.

101
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.160
We're the envy of some countries.

102
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:28.320
In some countries,

103
00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:31.120
you criticize the police,
you get beaten up, or worse.

104
00:05:31.200 --> 00:05:34.400
You criticize the government,
you can be thrown in jail for life.

105
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.640
So they flee their oppression,
quite rightly. So would you.

106
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.600
They flee and they come here.
They go, "We wanna come to England."

107
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:42.480
We go, "Why?" They go, "Free speech."

108
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.960
We go, "Come on in. Welcome.
What are you gonna do now?"

109
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.760
"Go on a march." "What are you gonna say?"

110
00:05:46.840 --> 00:05:48.160
"How shit England is."

111
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.920
"Cheers. Thank you. Thank you."

112
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:54.440
That is their… That is their right.

113
00:05:57.280 --> 00:05:59.920
But I'm, um…
I'm too old now not to say what I want.

114
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.320
You know? I wanna say
and do what I want all the time.

115
00:06:03.400 --> 00:06:05.640
I wanna do my favorite thing all the time.

116
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:07.800
I don't even like doing
my second favorite thing

117
00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:10.600
if I think I could be doing
my favorite thing, you know?

118
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.600
My favorite thing is play tennis.

119
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.880
I play every Friday. I keep Fridays free.

120
00:06:14.960 --> 00:06:17.760
I look forward to it. I play tennis.
It sets me up for the week.

121
00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:21.720
So if ever on a Friday
I have to do my second favorite thing,

122
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:22.960
like three weeks ago,

123
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.280
attend a neighbor's kid's funeral,

124
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:26.240
I'm like…

125
00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:28.680
"This is

126
00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:30.920
boring."

127
00:06:33.960 --> 00:06:36.240
But we all want respect, right?

128
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:38.160
We all want respect,

129
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.360
and we all wanna
raise our status in society.

130
00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:43.720
We can't help that.
That's in our evolution.

131
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.680
That's group selected from when gossip
used to control the tribes, right?

132
00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:52.520
And there's still two ways
you can raise your status in society.

133
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.760
One, be competent at something.

134
00:06:54.840 --> 00:06:58.400
Like, "Oh, he's a good hunter.
Go with him. He's good for the tribe."

135
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.120
The other way you can raise your status
is have virtue.

136
00:07:01.200 --> 00:07:04.600
Like, "Oh, he's not a great hunter,
but he's… he's wise."

137
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:06.360
Or "kind," or whatever. You know?

138
00:07:06.440 --> 00:07:09.000
And then, with the advent of social media,

139
00:07:09.080 --> 00:07:13.240
people suddenly discovered
they could just say they were virtuous.

140
00:07:13.320 --> 00:07:15.720
No evidence. No proof.

141
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.240
Just loads of flags in their bio, right?

142
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:21.040
And they would raise their status

143
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.320
by bringing other people down,
catching other people out.

144
00:07:23.400 --> 00:07:25.480
"Look what he said.
He's not as virtuous as me."

145
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:27.120
"Look how good I am. Look how bad…"

146
00:07:27.200 --> 00:07:29.840
That's where the term
"virtue signaling" comes from.

147
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.240
And I hate it
when they bring their kids into it.

148
00:07:32.320 --> 00:07:34.560
You can believe what you want,
have opinions what you want,

149
00:07:34.640 --> 00:07:35.760
vote how you want…

150
00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:37.240
Go on a march. Great.

151
00:07:37.320 --> 00:07:40.360
But when I see
a five-year-old holding a placard,

152
00:07:40.440 --> 00:07:41.880
he doesn't know what that says.

153
00:07:41.960 --> 00:07:44.960
That's the adult, you know?
I saw someone tweet this once.

154
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:46.320
Someone tweeted, um,

155
00:07:46.840 --> 00:07:49.120
"My four-year-old just looked up at me

156
00:07:49.200 --> 00:07:52.760
and said, 'Mummy,
why does Rishi Sunak hate poor people?'"

157
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:55.520
Never fucking happened, right?

158
00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:59.840
But the most annoying thing
about virtue signaling

159
00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:04.760
is it's people being smug
about having the morality of the age.

160
00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:08.360
You're what you're like
'cause of where you are and when you are.

161
00:08:08.440 --> 00:08:11.080
Like, it's not brave of me
to be an atheist

162
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.040
in this country in this year.

163
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.200
It would have been brave 200 years ago.

164
00:08:15.280 --> 00:08:16.400
Or mental.

165
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.560
And it'd be brave
in some other countries, or mental. Right?

166
00:08:20.640 --> 00:08:24.360
But people say things like,
"Oh, I'm anti-racist."

167
00:08:24.440 --> 00:08:26.080
"Yeah, well done. We all are."

168
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:29.400
We know that's the way to be now,
but it wouldn't have always been.

169
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:32.960
If you'd been born in a different place
or time, maybe you wouldn't have.

170
00:08:33.040 --> 00:08:36.160
They go, "No, I'd have been an anti-racist
whenever I was born."

171
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.000
People say things like… They go, um,

172
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.520
"Oh yeah, I'd have definitely
hidden Anne Frank."

173
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.280
Would you? Would you?

174
00:08:45.400 --> 00:08:47.520
Anne Frank comes to your door, in the war.

175
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.600
You open it, right?
There's Nazis everywhere, right?

176
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.720
She goes, "Can I hide in here?"
You go, "Whoa. What…"

177
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.800
Just facepalmed Anne Frank, like that.

178
00:08:59.520 --> 00:09:01.120
"Whoa. Wait."

179
00:09:01.640 --> 00:09:03.440
"What happens if they find you?"

180
00:09:03.520 --> 00:09:05.120
"Uh, they murder me, and you."

181
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:06.280
"Go next door."

182
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:12.280
"They've got a lovely big attic,
a typewriter. You're gonna love it there."

183
00:09:15.520 --> 00:09:18.000
But I'm anti-racist. Of course I am.

184
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.000
But I'm willing to admit
that if I'd have been born 300 years ago,

185
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:23.920
and I was white and wealthy,

186
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.160
I'd have probably have owned slaves.

187
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:27.760
Because… No, 'cause…

188
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:29.560
I'd be nice to 'em, so shut up.

189
00:09:29.640 --> 00:09:31.600
I'd be… Yeah. That's right.

190
00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:34.440
I'd… I'd be the best slave owner
you've ever fucking…

191
00:09:34.520 --> 00:09:35.960
No, I would. I'd look after…

192
00:09:36.040 --> 00:09:38.920
I'd dress mine well.
I'd dress my… I'd dress my slaves…

193
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.160
Yeah, I would.
I'd dress mine in little suits. Right?

194
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:45.040
I'd… I'd go…
I'd go, "Throw those dungarees away."

195
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.480
"Put a little suit on."

196
00:09:47.560 --> 00:09:49.720
All the other slaves looking. I'd go…

197
00:09:49.800 --> 00:09:54.080
And I'd go… And I'd go,
"Right, let's go to the pub, boys." Right?

198
00:09:54.680 --> 00:09:57.640
All the "white" people would go,
"You can't take your slaves to the pub."

199
00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.960
I'd go, "Fuck you, fascists. They're…"

200
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:04.240
"They're my slaves.
I'll do what the fuck I want with 'em."

201
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.000
We'd go in the pub. The barman would go,
"You can't bring them in."

202
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.040
I'd go, "Fuck you.
We're going to the saloon bar."

203
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:13.400
We've got little suits on.

204
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.760
I'm like, "You look good
in your suits, boys."

205
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.280
"Wear socks. We wear socks with suits."

206
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.960
I go… I go, "I'm buying the drinks.
Put your money away."

207
00:10:22.040 --> 00:10:23.880
"You haven't got any money, but you know."

208
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:27.280
And then we're just having a laugh,
teasing each other, just bants.

209
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.600
If one of 'em got a bit too familiar,
I would have to punish him.

210
00:10:30.680 --> 00:10:32.840
Just to keep the status quo.

211
00:10:32.920 --> 00:10:35.400
If he called me "gammon" or something.

212
00:10:35.920 --> 00:10:38.040
Which is the only racial slur allowed now.

213
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.360
You can call a white person a gammon.
It's fine for some reason.

214
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:44.120
You can even be ageist.
You go, "You fucking old gammon."

215
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.280
And it's totally acceptable,
for some reason.

216
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:47.880
But I'm gonna reclaim the word.

217
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:50.280
You know like Black people
have reclaimed the N-word?

218
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:51.800
I'm gonna reclaim the word "gammon."

219
00:10:51.880 --> 00:10:55.400
So I'm gonna be in Carluccio's
in Hampstead, right,

220
00:10:55.920 --> 00:10:57.280
with all my white friends,

221
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:00.440
and we'd just be hanging,
going, "How you doing, my gammon?"

222
00:11:00.520 --> 00:11:01.640
Right? And…

223
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.240
If our Black friend, Rupert, um…

224
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.920
I said it was Hampstead. If… If…

225
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:16.640
If Rupert came in and went, "My gammon,"
I'd go, "You don't fucking use that word."

226
00:11:19.520 --> 00:11:21.720
My point is, morality evolves.

227
00:11:21.800 --> 00:11:24.760
It moves with the times,
like everything else. Just think of that.

228
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:26.440
In a few generations,

229
00:11:26.520 --> 00:11:29.640
we've gone from owning slaves being legal

230
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.160
and respectable in the eyes of God

231
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:34.840
to a racist being the lowest of the low,
isn't he?

232
00:11:34.920 --> 00:11:38.280
A racist is the worst person
in society these days.

233
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.840
Actually, a pedophile is the worst.

234
00:11:40.920 --> 00:11:43.400
It goes pedophile, then racist.

235
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:44.920
A racist pedophile…

236
00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:48.080
…is the worst per…

237
00:11:48.160 --> 00:11:50.760
If I met a racist pedophile, I'd go,

238
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.600
"Fuck the little Black ones too,
you bigot." You know?

239
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:01.360
Don't.

240
00:12:05.280 --> 00:12:07.480
That's fine. That's fine. It's fine.

241
00:12:09.680 --> 00:12:10.840
They…

242
00:12:10.920 --> 00:12:12.560
They won't cancel me for that.

243
00:12:15.160 --> 00:12:17.720
They've been trying to cancel me
for about 15 years,

244
00:12:17.800 --> 00:12:19.200
and they've always failed.

245
00:12:19.280 --> 00:12:21.600
And often, the people trying to cancel me

246
00:12:21.680 --> 00:12:24.600
have been other comedians, writing
for the posh papers, doing that thing…

247
00:12:24.680 --> 00:12:26.840
They always say, "He's punching down."

248
00:12:26.920 --> 00:12:29.760
"Comedy should punch up.
We only punch up. We punch up."

249
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:33.040
Their idea of punching up,
they have a go at Boris Johnson.

250
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:34.840
How the fuck is that punching up?

251
00:12:34.920 --> 00:12:36.000
You know?

252
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:37.840
The cunt is learning disabled.

253
00:12:37.920 --> 00:12:39.080
He's like…

254
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:42.760
…this fucking waterlogged Gary Busey,

255
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:46.200
fucking albino-egg-man thing.

256
00:12:46.280 --> 00:12:49.280
He can't string a sentence together.
Have you heard him talk?

257
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:51.080
He's like…

258
00:12:51.160 --> 00:12:52.600
He's a fucking moron, right?

259
00:12:52.680 --> 00:12:55.120
I… No, I punch up.

260
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.360
I have a go at people like,
I don't know, Stephen Hawking, right?

261
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.240
Yes, the greatest brain that's ever lived.

262
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.000
You can have a… He can take it.

263
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.520
And he wouldn't even have minded
when he was alive, 'cause he's…

264
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:06.360
He's part robot, isn't he? I think…

265
00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:09.200
He's basically a talking chair,
so you can say…

266
00:13:09.280 --> 00:13:11.560
…what you want, but…

267
00:13:11.640 --> 00:13:14.400
And he was on Epstein's island,
apparently, so fuck him.

268
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.040
I don't…

269
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:19.240
What was he doing there?
Why did he want… "I wanna go…" "Why?"

270
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.040
"Why do you…" "Why?"

271
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:24.040
He's just there, doing fuck…
I would go, "What?"

272
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.600
I know pedos
who'd kill for a ticket to that.

273
00:13:26.680 --> 00:13:29.320
And he's just taking up a space.

274
00:13:29.400 --> 00:13:32.960
It's probably DEI or something,
and they go, "We… we need one."

275
00:13:33.040 --> 00:13:35.680
Like… I would go,
"What are you doing here, Steve?"

276
00:13:35.760 --> 00:13:37.600
He'd go, "I'm thinking weird shit."

277
00:13:37.680 --> 00:13:39.520
Fuck off.

278
00:13:43.760 --> 00:13:45.840
That… that is probably a hate crime.

279
00:13:45.920 --> 00:13:47.440
That is, isn't it?

280
00:13:48.760 --> 00:13:50.920
It's a big buzzword at the moment,
"hate crime."

281
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.680
Whatever happens, someone always goes,
"Was it a hate crime?"

282
00:13:53.760 --> 00:13:55.600
"Why?" "Makes it so much worse."

283
00:13:55.680 --> 00:13:56.720
Does it? Why?

284
00:13:56.800 --> 00:13:59.400
If I was walking home tonight,
and someone randomly jumped me,

285
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.600
beat me up, mugged me,
stabbed me, threw acid in my face,

286
00:14:02.680 --> 00:14:04.080
I wake up in intensive care…

287
00:14:04.160 --> 00:14:06.280
Beep, beep, beep.

288
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.960
I open my eyes through the bandages.
There's a policeman.

289
00:14:09.040 --> 00:14:10.840
He goes, "Mr. Gervais?" I go, "Yeah."

290
00:14:10.920 --> 00:14:13.480
He goes, "We just wanna let you know,
it wasn't a hate crime."

291
00:14:13.560 --> 00:14:16.240
I go, "Oh, thank God for that."

292
00:14:17.400 --> 00:14:19.320
Pretty hateful, innit? Right? Like…

293
00:14:19.400 --> 00:14:23.760
But no, a hate crime is something
that's based on your race,

294
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.240
disability, sexuality.

295
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:29.400
So a guy with a gun,
he wants to kill someone at random.

296
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:32.040
He sees a crowd.
He goes, "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe."

297
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:33.360
Bang. Kills someone dead.

298
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.520
He goes to court. The judge goes,
"Why did you kill that person?"

299
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:37.880
He goes, "No reason."

300
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:40.600
The judge goes, "So you're not a bigot?"
He goes, "Oh no."

301
00:14:40.680 --> 00:14:42.120
Judge goes, "Aw."

302
00:14:43.560 --> 00:14:44.600
"Ten years."

303
00:14:44.680 --> 00:14:48.720
Some other guy's got a gun. He goes,
"I fucking hate dwarves." All right?

304
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.440
He sees a little dwarf.
He takes aim. Bang.

305
00:14:52.520 --> 00:14:54.040
Kills the dwarf dead. Right?

306
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:57.000
He goes to court. The judge goes,
"Why did you kill that dwarf?"

307
00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.000
He goes, "'Cause I hate the little cunts."

308
00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:00.080
All right?

309
00:15:00.160 --> 00:15:02.440
Judge goes, "You're a bigot.
Twenty years."

310
00:15:02.520 --> 00:15:04.880
Now, he shouldn't get more
for shooting a dwarf.

311
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:07.920
If anything, it's a harder shot, innit?

312
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:10.000
He's done a…

313
00:15:11.560 --> 00:15:14.840
If I was that judge, I'd go, "Wait. What?
You shot a dwarf at 100 meters?"

314
00:15:14.920 --> 00:15:17.440
"Yeah." "Fucking props. That is…"

315
00:15:18.800 --> 00:15:20.120
"Five years."

316
00:15:20.640 --> 00:15:22.800
"In the army. Get him in the army."

317
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.360
I feel bad about that joke,
'cause I was reading about

318
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:30.960
the… the tough time
dwarves have had through history.

319
00:15:31.040 --> 00:15:33.480
In medieval times,
they used to torture 'em and kill 'em.

320
00:15:33.560 --> 00:15:35.760
They used to put 'em
in barrels with spikes

321
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.240
and roll 'em down the hill for a laugh.

322
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.600
Then in Victorian times,
they'd stick 'em in the circus

323
00:15:40.680 --> 00:15:43.080
and make 'em do dangerous fucking things.

324
00:15:43.160 --> 00:15:46.120
And then, as late as the 1980s,

325
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.440
right, I remember colleges
used to have events like dwarf-throwing,

326
00:15:50.520 --> 00:15:53.160
where they were like darts on a thing.

327
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:54.240
Or dwarf bowling.

328
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.960
And eventually someone said,
"What the fuck are we doing?"

329
00:15:57.040 --> 00:16:01.600
"Can we stop making dwarves do shit
for our entertainment?"

330
00:16:01.680 --> 00:16:02.520
And it stopped.

331
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:05.800
And now it's back.
Now they're in the Special Olympics.

332
00:16:05.880 --> 00:16:07.120
Now they've got a… Yeah.

333
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.040
They go… They're going,
"Let's race 'em, and…"

334
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.000
Yeah. Yeah.

335
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.600
They're going, "Let's throw 'em
in the water and see if they can swim."

336
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:18.640
They can. They can. So…

337
00:16:20.400 --> 00:16:23.000
It needs a bit of work, that one.
I don't know if…

338
00:16:24.640 --> 00:16:27.400
People don't realize
how much goes into one of these tours.

339
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:30.840
My last tour,
I did 60 new-material nights.

340
00:16:30.920 --> 00:16:33.480
Then I did, like,
25 work-in-progress shows.

341
00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:39.000
Then I did an 85-day arena tour
around the world, honing it all the time.

342
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:42.840
One critic, sat at his kitchen table,
said, "Lazy."

343
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:46.320
He called me immature and vulgar.

344
00:16:46.400 --> 00:16:47.760
Four-eyed cunt.

345
00:16:52.160 --> 00:16:54.480
I'm at that age now
where everything annoys me.

346
00:16:54.560 --> 00:16:55.760
I say this once a day.

347
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.120
I go, "Why don't things
just fucking work?"

348
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:00.800
You know? Whatever it is.

349
00:17:00.880 --> 00:17:03.320
The remote control for the TV.
Working fine.

350
00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:04.440
You go back to it.

351
00:17:04.520 --> 00:17:07.680
"What… what's happened
in the last fucking ten seconds? Why…"

352
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.000
The phone signal
where I live in Hampstead is shit.

353
00:17:11.080 --> 00:17:13.680
I walk around the mansion going,
"Can you hear me now?"

354
00:17:13.760 --> 00:17:15.760
D'you know?

355
00:17:16.840 --> 00:17:19.520
If you make a phone call
in the cobbled streets of Hampstead,

356
00:17:19.600 --> 00:17:21.960
you can have five bars,
having a chat, lovely.

357
00:17:22.040 --> 00:17:24.880
You go one step in the wrong direction…

358
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:27.080
Do you know why the phone signal's
so shit in Hampstead?

359
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:28.880
Because everyone's posh there,

360
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:31.400
and no one wants
one of those pylons in their garden,

361
00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:33.400
'cause they look shit and give you cancer.

362
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:34.920
But I've said to the council,

363
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.680
let's find a blind person
who's already got cancer…

364
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:43.560
Put it in their garden.
Don't even fucking tell 'em.

365
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:44.960
Don't even…

366
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:54.480
But never mind inanimate objects.
People annoy me the most.

367
00:17:54.560 --> 00:17:56.360
Ugh. I say this once a day as well.

368
00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.520
I go, "There's always someone
who fucking ruins it." You know?

369
00:17:59.600 --> 00:18:02.920
Like, we were on a flight
to San Francisco a while ago,

370
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:04.200
me and Jane, right?

371
00:18:04.280 --> 00:18:05.680
We took off, right?

372
00:18:05.760 --> 00:18:09.040
First class. Seatbelt signs, ding.
Drinks are served. Lovely.

373
00:18:09.120 --> 00:18:12.400
Then this woman, about two rows back,
she gets out her laptop.

374
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:14.800
She starts banging out
something really important.

375
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:16.840
She's wearing fucking bangles.

376
00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:18.720
They're like smashing against… I…

377
00:18:18.800 --> 00:18:21.680
It's driving me mad.
It sounded like fucking Morris dancing.

378
00:18:21.760 --> 00:18:23.200
It was driving me…

379
00:18:23.280 --> 00:18:26.960
But I know it's not illegal.
I can't go over, "Bangle Police."

380
00:18:27.040 --> 00:18:29.840
So I just have to suffer in silence

381
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:31.320
and hope we crash.

382
00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:32.640
That is…

383
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.160
That is how I get over things now.

384
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.280
If someone's really annoying me,
I just stare at 'em,

385
00:18:36.360 --> 00:18:39.920
and I just imagine us both dead
one day, and it sort of…

386
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:43.120
Here I was thinking…
The pilot going, "We're going down."

387
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:45.240
The plane was going down, we're gonna die,

388
00:18:45.320 --> 00:18:48.360
and I look over, and she's going, "Agh!"
and I go…

389
00:18:50.080 --> 00:18:52.760
And the plane smashes into a mountain,
and we're all fucking burnt,

390
00:18:52.840 --> 00:18:54.360
but I live one second long enough

391
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:56.760
just to look over
and see her totally fucked.

392
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.400
Whatever gets you through, you know?

393
00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:08.680
So we got to San Francisco,
and we went on a little day trip.

394
00:19:08.760 --> 00:19:12.000
We went to this place called Sausalito,
this lovely little harbor town.

395
00:19:12.080 --> 00:19:13.720
We're walking around, sightseeing,

396
00:19:13.800 --> 00:19:16.160
but about 11:00 a.m.,
'cause of the jet lag, we were starving.

397
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:18.040
We thought, "Oh, we need lunch."

398
00:19:18.120 --> 00:19:20.240
So we found this restaurant
that was open at 11:00 a.m.

399
00:19:20.320 --> 00:19:23.720
Empty, of course, which is my idea
of a perfect restaurant. Empty. Right?

400
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:27.360
We sat by the window.
We were looking out over the bay.

401
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:30.360
There was a sea lion bobbing round.
A pelican landed.

402
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.160
The waiter brings our food.
It's… Oh, it's…

403
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.720
Then suddenly,
in all that peace and perfection,

404
00:19:36.800 --> 00:19:39.600
out of the kitchen doors comes a busboy,

405
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:42.520
and he just stands
in this empty restaurant, and he goes…

406
00:19:48.600 --> 00:19:49.800
I looked at him.

407
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:52.440
I looked at Jane.
Jane didn't even look up.

408
00:19:52.520 --> 00:19:55.080
She just went,
"Nothing we can do." Like that.

409
00:19:58.040 --> 00:20:01.800
So I'm all alone, right? And the…
And the sweat starts. I just get a sweat.

410
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:05.160
I go, "Okay, he's gonna do it again."
Sure enough, he… Like that.

411
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:07.840
I bang my fork against the plate,
and I just look at him.

412
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:10.360
Jane goes, "He doesn't know
why you're staring at him."

413
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:12.360
I go, "I want him to know.
To go, 'Are you okay?'"

414
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:14.920
I'll go, "Not really."
"You keep doing that."

415
00:20:15.600 --> 00:20:19.000
Jane goes, "For heaven's sake,
he's a busboy. He's at work."

416
00:20:19.080 --> 00:20:20.320
"Let's just eat and go."

417
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:21.800
So meal ruined, right?

418
00:20:22.320 --> 00:20:24.360
And I wasn't allowed to do anything.

419
00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:27.720
So this is how I got through
the last ten minutes of that meal.

420
00:20:27.800 --> 00:20:29.920
This is absolutely true.
Right? I'm eating.

421
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.320
Every time he went… …I went, "Cunt!"

422
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:41.120
That is what you get.
That is what you get.

423
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:50.040
I did want this show
to be more highbrow than this.

424
00:20:51.080 --> 00:20:55.640
Joking aside, I think this is my most
honest and confessional show so far.

425
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:58.640
Not in an Edinburgh-fringe type way,
you know what I mean?

426
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.480
"Oh, my parents died,
so I went all autistic."

427
00:21:01.560 --> 00:21:03.040
None of the…

428
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:05.400
None of that shit, right?

429
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:09.200
My parents did die,
but I'm pretty sure I'm not autistic,

430
00:21:09.280 --> 00:21:11.440
'cause once,
someone gave me a Rubik's Cube,

431
00:21:11.520 --> 00:21:13.480
and I put it straight in the fucking bin.

432
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:20.720
I think that is the test.

433
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:27.800
No, um, it's called Mortality,
but it's a… it's a positive show,

434
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:29.640
um, I think, and it's…

435
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:31.920
I wanna tell you
some of the things I've learned,

436
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:35.560
what it's like to be me at this age,
'cause I'm getting old now.

437
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:37.680
See? That's silence, for the first year.

438
00:21:37.760 --> 00:21:41.120
Up until this year, people would go,
"You're not old." Now they go, "Go on."

439
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:43.640
Like that. It's like…
In fact, they make it worse.

440
00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:47.840
They say things like, "Oh yeah,
but the good thing about getting old is

441
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:49.760
you don't care
what people think about you."

442
00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:53.920
Well, you should care a bit,
because caring what people think about you

443
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.880
is what stops you walking around
with shit down your trousers.

444
00:21:58.120 --> 00:21:59.480
"Oh, look at Grandad."

445
00:21:59.560 --> 00:22:00.560
"Look, he…"

446
00:22:01.040 --> 00:22:03.400
"He doesn't care
what people think about him."

447
00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:06.920
No, he's wanking at a wedding.
He doesn't, no.

448
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:12.440
But, as I say,
it's a… it's a positive show.

449
00:22:12.520 --> 00:22:16.240
It's not all doom and gloom, getting old.
There's good and bad to getting old.

450
00:22:16.320 --> 00:22:19.160
There really is.
There's good and bad to getting old.

451
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:21.200
For example, yes, there's more chance now

452
00:22:21.280 --> 00:22:24.120
of me having a heart attack,
having a stroke, getting cancer,

453
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:26.080
but much less chance now

454
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:28.120
of me ever being raped in prison.

455
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:29.520
Yeah. See?

456
00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:34.360
When I was a young man,
I thought, "Fuck, I can never go to jail,

457
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:36.600
not with this cute ass." Right?

458
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:39.800
But now, I'd be pretty confident
I'd be left alone.

459
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:42.480
You know, like, I'd go down the corridor,
my first day,

460
00:22:42.560 --> 00:22:44.320
with my little towel, whistling along.

461
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:47.280
They'd all come to the bars and go, "Ugh."
You know what I mean?

462
00:22:48.320 --> 00:22:50.840
I'd spend as much time
as I wanted in the shower.

463
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:55.760
No one's even looking.
Not a sniff, nothing.

464
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.120
The big danger for me, these days,
bending over in a prison shower,

465
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:02.120
would be my back going, right?

466
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:05.280
And just crumpling to the floor
and having to be helped to my bunk

467
00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:07.320
by two big, gay rapists, and they just…

468
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:09.840
…put me down naked and leave.

469
00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:12.200
I go, "Lads, before you go,
I've done my shoulder in."

470
00:23:12.280 --> 00:23:14.320
"Can you… A little tug?" All right?

471
00:23:14.840 --> 00:23:15.960
They go, "Nah."

472
00:23:16.040 --> 00:23:19.120
I go, "What do you mean, 'no'?
You're literally gay rapists."

473
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:20.200
They go,

474
00:23:20.280 --> 00:23:21.600
"We're not monsters."

475
00:23:24.040 --> 00:23:27.640
I'd also be more confident going to jail
'cause I've got a bit of cash.

476
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:29.880
I reckon I could buy my way out of danger.

477
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:33.520
Like, the first day, I'd go,
"Right, who's in charge? Who's Mr. Big?"

478
00:23:33.600 --> 00:23:35.520
And they'd go, "Chopper Harris, D-Wing."

479
00:23:35.600 --> 00:23:37.600
So I go and see Chopper,
and I go, "Right."

480
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:40.160
I said, "Right, I'm in for a year."

481
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:43.720
There's a million pounds waiting for you
if you make sure no one beats me up,

482
00:23:43.800 --> 00:23:44.880
steals my food,

483
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:46.640
no one so much as fingers me.

484
00:23:51.120 --> 00:23:53.200
I've never said that before. I've never…

485
00:23:54.560 --> 00:23:58.000
Chopper would be like,
"There's no foreplay in jail, mate."

486
00:24:03.080 --> 00:24:04.000
I'm at that age

487
00:24:04.080 --> 00:24:06.920
where I'm glad we haven't got
a Harold Shipman knocking round.

488
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:08.200
Do you know what I mean?

489
00:24:08.280 --> 00:24:11.560
Those of you too young to know
who Harold Shipman is, right,

490
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.160
he is our most prolific
serial killer. Right?

491
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:18.520
He killed 300 people.
He killed old people. That's my point.

492
00:24:18.600 --> 00:24:21.200
He'd have his eye on me.
"I'll give him a few more years."

493
00:24:21.280 --> 00:24:22.680
And he was a doctor, right?

494
00:24:22.760 --> 00:24:25.240
But the reason
you haven't heard of him, right,

495
00:24:25.320 --> 00:24:30.080
is because he never appears in those lists
of the worst serial killers.

496
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.760
And he was, like, one of the worst ever.

497
00:24:32.840 --> 00:24:35.600
But he… he didn't act
like a serial killer. Right?

498
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:37.600
He was a GP. He was old school.

499
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:39.960
He had a little shirt and tie,
little tweed jacket,

500
00:24:40.040 --> 00:24:41.720
little beard, little glasses.

501
00:24:41.800 --> 00:24:42.920
He'd do house visits.

502
00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:45.000
He'd go round to see Edna, 85.

503
00:24:45.080 --> 00:24:48.000
"You all right, Edna?" "Yeah."
"Cup of tea?" "Yes, please."

504
00:24:48.080 --> 00:24:50.280
And he'd make Edna a lovely cup of tea.

505
00:24:50.360 --> 00:24:53.160
Then he'd just put in
a lethal amount of opioids, right,

506
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:56.200
and he'd just give Edna the tea
and watch her drink it

507
00:24:56.280 --> 00:24:59.240
and fall asleep and die, and that was it.

508
00:24:59.320 --> 00:25:00.680
He didn't even masturbate.

509
00:25:00.760 --> 00:25:01.840
You know?

510
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:04.040
Yes, it is a waste, sir. Yeah.

511
00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:07.920
You… dirty bastard.

512
00:25:08.800 --> 00:25:09.800
That's…

513
00:25:10.560 --> 00:25:12.560
And, um…

514
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:15.120
They reckon he got the idea
when he was a little lad.

515
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.280
Harold Shipman, little Harold Shipman,

516
00:25:17.360 --> 00:25:20.720
he watched his mum, dying of lung cancer,
being given morphine.

517
00:25:20.800 --> 00:25:24.320
Something triggered in him. He thought,
"I'll become a doctor, and I'll do this."

518
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:27.880
I don't know whether it means
that he liked the way the morphine

519
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:31.320
put his mum out of pain,
so these were like mercy killings.

520
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:34.200
Like, you know, reliving the kindness.
Or the opposite.

521
00:25:34.280 --> 00:25:37.120
He was jealous of old people
who lived longer than his mum should have.

522
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:39.480
He was punishing them.
I don't know. Doesn't matter.

523
00:25:39.560 --> 00:25:42.320
Actually, it does matter,
'cause if you can really understand

524
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:43.880
why someone does something like that,

525
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:48.400
you might spot the signs in the future
and stop a crime before it happens.

526
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:51.040
I always think that
when there's a school shooting in America.

527
00:25:51.120 --> 00:25:53.680
It's usually some emo, right, who…

528
00:25:54.760 --> 00:25:57.360
…goes into a kindergarten,
kills about 30 toddlers,

529
00:25:57.440 --> 00:25:58.960
turns the gun on himself.

530
00:25:59.040 --> 00:26:01.560
And all the eyewitnesses
always say the same thing.

531
00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:04.240
They go, "Oh, he was a loner."
"He sat at the back."

532
00:26:04.320 --> 00:26:06.240
"He was shy." "He was bullied."

533
00:26:06.320 --> 00:26:08.240
Let's round those cunts up now.

534
00:26:09.560 --> 00:26:10.680
Do you know what I mean?

535
00:26:10.760 --> 00:26:14.920
It's like, go into a school,
see who the bully's smashing up, right?

536
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:17.640
Go, "I'll take it from here, mate.
Thank you." Right?

537
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:23.120
And drag that little dweeb off
to Borstal or jail or something.

538
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:26.240
Go to the bully, "Go and find another."
You know what I mean? He's doing a…

539
00:26:26.800 --> 00:26:29.120
He's doing a great job.
We need more bullies.

540
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:31.760
They're beating up future child killers.

541
00:26:31.840 --> 00:26:32.680
Every…

542
00:26:37.840 --> 00:26:40.840
You get obsessed with crime and punishment
as you get older.

543
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:42.520
I've always been pretty interested.

544
00:26:42.600 --> 00:26:45.880
I studied philosophy at university,
and a big part of that is morality.

545
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:48.560
And, uh, I've always been
against the death penalty.

546
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:51.560
I was a young liberal,
and I was really anti the death penalty.

547
00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:54.720
And now I'm an old liberal,
and I'm still anti the death penalty,

548
00:26:54.800 --> 00:26:57.400
but now I love it when someone gets killed

549
00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:59.400
doing something they shouldn't
at the time.

550
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:03.960
Like, you see a bloke in Brazil.
A hostage video.

551
00:27:04.040 --> 00:27:06.080
He's got a young girl, a gun to her head.

552
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:08.200
He goes,
"You won't take me alive, copper."

553
00:27:08.280 --> 00:27:10.680
And then the marksman
just takes out his brain stem.

554
00:27:10.760 --> 00:27:13.040
Oh, I love that.

555
00:27:13.120 --> 00:27:15.120
Pause. Rewind. All right?

556
00:27:17.360 --> 00:27:19.760
Or when a bullfighter gets gored to death.

557
00:27:19.840 --> 00:27:22.080
That is my favorite. Right?

558
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:24.880
Particularly when the horn
goes up the arse.

559
00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:26.320
That…

560
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:28.320
I call that a "hole in Juan."

561
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:31.800
Thank you. Um…

562
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:33.680
No, don't.

563
00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:38.800
Or those… those videos
coming out of "lawless" New York.

564
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:42.320
You see 'em on Instagram and YouTube.
It's someone with an iPhone.

565
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:45.720
It's got someone, he's knocking over
this little convenience store.

566
00:27:45.800 --> 00:27:48.560
He's got a fucking hoodie and a knife,
and he's nicking all the booze.

567
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:51.760
He doesn't care he's being filmed.
He's gonna get away with it.

568
00:27:51.840 --> 00:27:56.400
Then, from behind the counter,
comes a little 70-year-old Korean man

569
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:58.520
who batters him to death with a broom.

570
00:27:58.600 --> 00:28:00.400
I fucking love that.

571
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.360
I can't wait
to be a 70-year-old vigilante.

572
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:06.400
Just walking around Hampstead
with a walking stick.

573
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:08.640
Oh, but it's a sword.

574
00:28:09.760 --> 00:28:13.200
I'd paint it white, as well,
to look even more vulnerable. Right?

575
00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:15.080
Wear dark glasses like that.

576
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:16.360
I'd see a gang of youths.

577
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:19.400
I'd go over to 'em and go,
"S… Oh, s… Excuse me, guys."

578
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:21.400
"Do you know where the Nike store is?"

579
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:23.440
"I wanna buy some Air Jordans
with all this cash."

580
00:28:23.520 --> 00:28:26.000
And as they go for it,
"You little fucking cunts."

581
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:35.480
But the death penalty's
not like that, is it?

582
00:28:35.560 --> 00:28:36.840
It's not in self-defense.

583
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:40.480
It's not in the heat of the moment.
It's cold justice. You know?

584
00:28:40.560 --> 00:28:43.360
Don't matter what you've done.
You could've murdered people.

585
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:45.760
You stand trial. They find you guilty.

586
00:28:45.840 --> 00:28:47.240
They put you on death row,

587
00:28:47.320 --> 00:28:49.840
sometimes for 10, 15 years,

588
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:51.720
which seems unnecessarily cruel.

589
00:28:51.800 --> 00:28:53.720
Then they murder you
in front of witnesses.

590
00:28:53.800 --> 00:28:58.080
And it's from the Bible.
"An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth."

591
00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:01.680
The state says, "You murdered someone,
so we're gonna murder you."

592
00:29:01.760 --> 00:29:04.320
But if you rape and murder someone,

593
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:06.280
you still only just get murdered.

594
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:10.800
That's a loophole, innit? That's like…

595
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:13.680
That smacks of misogyny to me.

596
00:29:13.760 --> 00:29:17.040
That's like the judge going,
"The rape was free, but we're gonna…"

597
00:29:17.760 --> 00:29:20.360
Just once, I want the judge to go,
"You raped and murdered someone,

598
00:29:20.440 --> 00:29:22.520
so you're gonna be taken from here
to a place

599
00:29:22.600 --> 00:29:24.720
where you'll be
hung by the neck and raped."

600
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.320
"What, at the same time?" "Yes, yes."

601
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:30.200
"We've got loads of volunteers
with dildos." Right?

602
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:35.320
So he sort of goes down like that,
and he goes, "Agh! Fuck off! Fuck off!"

603
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:37.600
"You cunt. You cunt."

604
00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:40.840
"Okay, he's dead."

605
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:42.200
"Yeah, I know. I know."

606
00:29:48.320 --> 00:29:49.560
Oh.

607
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:54.160
It might work.

608
00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:58.280
But the longer you live,
the grumpier you'll get.

609
00:29:58.360 --> 00:30:00.520
It's not just me.
It's gonna happen to all of you.

610
00:30:00.600 --> 00:30:02.640
'Cause the longer you live,
the more shit you see.

611
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:05.440
And you go,
"Oh, fuck. This again. This again."

612
00:30:05.520 --> 00:30:07.120
And the more burden you carry.

613
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:10.280
The older you get, the weaker you get,
so the burden gets heavier.

614
00:30:10.360 --> 00:30:12.040
And you go, "Oh God. This again."

615
00:30:12.120 --> 00:30:14.040
You can't die nowadays.
You know what I mean?

616
00:30:14.120 --> 00:30:16.280
You go, "Oh, thank God. I'm dying."

617
00:30:16.360 --> 00:30:17.680
Zzz! "Oh, fuck. I'm back."

618
00:30:17.760 --> 00:30:19.280
You know what I mean?

619
00:30:19.360 --> 00:30:22.360
They can transplant every organ now.
Whatever's got…

620
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:23.840
Transplant every organ.

621
00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:27.000
Not your brain. That wouldn't make sense.
You are your brain.

622
00:30:27.080 --> 00:30:29.120
So that would be
an everything-else transplant.

623
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:30.960
Wouldn't it? But I'd sign up for that.

624
00:30:31.040 --> 00:30:33.320
I don't care about this.
It's to get this around.

625
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:36.400
If I could leave a million pounds
to science, so when I die…

626
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:40.440
Supposing I died, my body's crushed,
killed instantly, but my head's intact.

627
00:30:40.520 --> 00:30:42.640
They keep that on ice.
Wait for a body donor.

628
00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:44.840
Some poor bloke gets his head crushed.

629
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.080
Put my head on his body,
and I'm back, aren't I?

630
00:30:48.600 --> 00:30:52.000
Statistically, I will get a bigger penis
as well, so…

631
00:30:53.360 --> 00:30:55.960
The odds are in my favor there, trust me.

632
00:30:56.560 --> 00:30:59.880
I wake up in the future, I see the scar,
and I go, "Ooh, that's all right."

633
00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:03.600
I go, "You've always wanted a big knob."
"Yeah, I've always wanted a big knob."

634
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:06.120
I go, "Let's have a little bit
of me time, shall we?"

635
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:07.920
I start, but every time I look down,

636
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:10.480
I go, "That's not my knob."
You know what I mean?

637
00:31:10.560 --> 00:31:12.560
I go, "Oh, that's not my knob."

638
00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:15.280
"Oh, that's not my knob."

639
00:31:15.360 --> 00:31:17.880
It's not my hand either.
Carry on. You know what I mean?

640
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:27.440
I was doing an interview a while ago.
I don't think the journalist liked me.

641
00:31:27.520 --> 00:31:30.200
He asked me this question.
I thought it was rude.

642
00:31:30.280 --> 00:31:32.680
So I gave a fake answer. Right?

643
00:31:32.760 --> 00:31:36.360
He said, um, "So, uh, what have you
got planned for your funeral?"

644
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:40.360
And I went, "Oh, um… Oh, I wanna be fed
to the lions at London Zoo."

645
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:42.560
He went, "Really?" I went, "Yeah."

646
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:44.880
I want the… the zookeeper

647
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:48.360
to take out my big, fat, dead, naked,
bloated body in a wheelbarrow.

648
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:51.360
Just dump it in the lion's den,
doof, like that.

649
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:54.720
Loads of tourists going, "Is that
the bloke from The Office?" Like that.

650
00:31:55.840 --> 00:31:58.720
And then two big lions come out
and just start eating me.

651
00:31:58.800 --> 00:32:01.920
And lions, they start
with the soft bits of the body,

652
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:03.440
to get inside to the rib cage.

653
00:32:03.520 --> 00:32:07.520
So they'd probably get a testicle each,
'cause that'd be the easiest available…

654
00:32:07.600 --> 00:32:11.040
By then, my testicles would be
about a yard apart, so they'd be easy…

655
00:32:11.120 --> 00:32:13.120
They'd just start eating towards me,

656
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:14.600
like Lady and the Tramp.

657
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:17.040
Really… …romantic.

658
00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:20.960
So I said that, as a joke,
but he believed me.

659
00:32:21.040 --> 00:32:23.400
So much so
that when he was writing up the article,

660
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:26.320
he called London Zoo
and asked them if that would be allowed.

661
00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:29.480
And they said, "No, of course not." Right?

662
00:32:29.560 --> 00:32:33.160
So when the article came out,
the headline was

663
00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:37.160
"London Zoo refuse Ricky's request
to be fed to lions."

664
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:39.800
Like I'm a fucking psychopath.

665
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:43.880
My point is, you can't worry about
what happens after you die.

666
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:47.520
Live your life. Let someone else worry.
You're dead. You've done your bit.

667
00:32:47.600 --> 00:32:51.120
I know some people who really are stressed
about what happens after they die,

668
00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:52.400
some religious people.

669
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.000
And they believe in heaven and hell
and all that.

670
00:32:55.080 --> 00:32:58.400
So now they're getting a bit,
"Oh, have I been good enough?"

671
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:01.960
"I mean, heaven's great, but hell?
Oh my God. What if I go to hell?"

672
00:33:02.040 --> 00:33:05.320
And I go, "There's no hell.
It's made up to frighten kids."

673
00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:10.120
Like, my favorite horror film of all time
is still the original Exorcist. Right?

674
00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:13.320
First time I saw it, on VHS, right,
I was blown away.

675
00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:15.720
I watched it again straightaway.
I loved it.

676
00:33:15.800 --> 00:33:18.280
There's a bit in that
that's meant to be really poignant.

677
00:33:18.360 --> 00:33:20.880
And I laughed the first time I saw it,

678
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:25.120
because it was the idea of the devil
being this crass and childish.

679
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:28.040
You know the bit.
The little girl's possessed by the devil.

680
00:33:28.120 --> 00:33:29.440
They're doing an exorcism.

681
00:33:29.520 --> 00:33:32.240
And they're throwing holy water on her.
She's hissing.

682
00:33:32.320 --> 00:33:34.520
They're going,
"The power of Christ compels you."

683
00:33:34.600 --> 00:33:36.240
"The power of Christ compels you."

684
00:33:36.320 --> 00:33:40.360
And at one point, the devil makes the girl
turn her head round and he makes her say,

685
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:42.920
"Your mother sucks cocks in hell." Right?

686
00:33:44.600 --> 00:33:47.760
And the bloke, she says…
He's devastated. He's… He's like…

687
00:33:47.840 --> 00:33:51.240
'Cause he's thinking,
"Oh, that's the real devil,

688
00:33:51.320 --> 00:33:52.680
so he knows, so it's true."

689
00:33:52.760 --> 00:33:55.440
"My poor mother's sucking cocks in hell."

690
00:33:56.720 --> 00:33:58.760
If scientists actually found the devil…

691
00:33:58.840 --> 00:34:01.120
I was wrong. There is a devil.
They found the devil.

692
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:03.960
They… they tested him.
It was peer-reviewed.

693
00:34:04.040 --> 00:34:06.160
It won the Nobel Prize
for fucking everything,

694
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:09.240
'cause it would be
the greatest discovery of all time.

695
00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:11.720
And I'd look at the science.
I'd be mind-blown.

696
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:15.720
But I'd go, "You gotta follow the science,
so, yeah, I believe in the devil."

697
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:19.080
It wouldn't even be belief.
It would be knowledge. I'd wanna meet him.

698
00:34:19.160 --> 00:34:23.480
If the devil actually existed,
I'd wanna see it for my…

699
00:34:23.560 --> 00:34:26.520
As long as I was safe. I don't know
what makes you safe from the devil.

700
00:34:26.600 --> 00:34:29.360
But if he existed,
we'd find out, wouldn't we? We'd…

701
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:31.240
Like, vampires live forever,

702
00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:33.400
but now we know
a bit of garlic really fucks 'em up.

703
00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:35.760
So we'd discover something.

704
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:38.640
Like if you put a devil in a cage
with a sprig of parsley on top,

705
00:34:38.720 --> 00:34:40.720
he's weak or something, right?

706
00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:44.320
And I'd meet the devil, right,
and I'd go for an aud… He'd be there.

707
00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:46.400
I'd go, "Are you the devil?"
He'd go, "Yeah."

708
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:48.320
Then he'd try to hurt my feelings.

709
00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:50.160
And that was his best shot?

710
00:34:50.240 --> 00:34:52.000
And he went, "Rick." I'd go, "What?"

711
00:34:52.080 --> 00:34:54.480
He goes, "Your mother
sucks cocks in hell."

712
00:34:54.560 --> 00:34:57.280
I'd go, "Pfft. I don't care. I don't…"

713
00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:58.880
One, she's dead.

714
00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:00.880
Two, she was heterosexual.

715
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.800
Three, she never had her teeth in
towards the end, so…

716
00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:05.320
No.

717
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:06.960
But it… But it's hell.

718
00:35:07.040 --> 00:35:09.640
Think of all the terrible things
that could be happening to her.

719
00:35:09.720 --> 00:35:12.280
Being raped by red-hot pokers.
Rats eating her eyes.

720
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:14.440
My mum gets cock duty. Go on, girl.

721
00:35:14.520 --> 00:35:16.800
That's gotta… That…

722
00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:19.760
That has gotta be
one of the better jobs in hell.

723
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:21.960
It's like… Terrible job on earth.

724
00:35:22.040 --> 00:35:23.960
I've never sucked a cock in my life.
I never will.

725
00:35:24.040 --> 00:35:27.120
But if I died, and I woke…
"Fuck. I'm in hell."

726
00:35:27.200 --> 00:35:28.280
Tortured for eternity.

727
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:30.160
I'd see the first cock.
I'd go, "I'm on this."

728
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:34.560
"Not a problem. Not a problem."

729
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:38.400
I'd be looking round,
seeing people skinned alive, I'd go…

730
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:39.520
I'd chow down.

731
00:35:39.600 --> 00:35:41.600
I'd fucking… Like that. I'd…

732
00:35:42.120 --> 00:35:45.720
I'd be looking over at the big man, going,
"I'm doing a great job. Leave me on this."

733
00:35:48.080 --> 00:35:50.280
And then…

734
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:53.760
There's the devil with a clipboard,
looking a bit confused, thinking,

735
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:56.800
"No one's ever gone
straight for the cock, but, uh…"

736
00:35:57.320 --> 00:36:00.440
And he goes, "Okay. Carry on." I'll go…

737
00:36:00.520 --> 00:36:03.520
What if he then went,
"I mean, I did have you down for ironing"?

738
00:36:03.600 --> 00:36:05.000
I'd go, "Fuck. I could…"

739
00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:08.200
"Oh, I…"

740
00:36:09.120 --> 00:36:11.920
"Oh, I could have been ironing."

741
00:36:16.200 --> 00:36:19.240
Who's getting their cock sucked in hell?
That's what I wanna know.

742
00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:22.480
'Cause we're there for punishment,
and that's a little treat.

743
00:36:22.560 --> 00:36:27.000
It's like, I'd be there, right, thinking…
Feeling a bit smug. Right?

744
00:36:27.080 --> 00:36:29.760
I'm thinking, "This is great."
Not great, but I'd be…

745
00:36:31.080 --> 00:36:32.480
But the devil's a trickster.

746
00:36:32.560 --> 00:36:35.280
One day, I'd go,
"I wonder whose cock this is." I look up.

747
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:36.840
"Oh, it's fucking Hitler."

748
00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:38.400
"I'm fucking…"

749
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:41.520
"I'm fucking sucking Hitler's cock."

750
00:36:42.040 --> 00:36:44.600
How is this all right,
to do this in public?

751
00:36:44.680 --> 00:36:48.040
Because if I followed
one of you home tonight

752
00:36:48.120 --> 00:36:51.840
and I shouted through your letterbox,
"Sucking fucking Hitler's cock in hell,"

753
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:53.080
you'd call the police.

754
00:36:53.160 --> 00:36:56.400
But you've paid to hear me say this shit.

755
00:36:56.480 --> 00:36:58.200
Fucking hell.

756
00:37:09.040 --> 00:37:12.760
I'll tell you what's very popular,
um, uh, in England at the moment,

757
00:37:12.840 --> 00:37:14.960
and in America, particularly California.

758
00:37:15.040 --> 00:37:16.600
Um, mental illness.

759
00:37:16.680 --> 00:37:19.320
Oh, it's taken off.
It's taken off a treat.

760
00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:23.360
When… when I was at school,
you were either thick or clever,

761
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:25.400
normal or mental, right?

762
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:29.160
Now there's, like,
a thousand new mentals. Right?

763
00:37:29.240 --> 00:37:31.920
It used to be a stigma.
People would go, "I'm not mental."

764
00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:35.120
Now people go, "I'm mental."
You know? They wanna… "I'm mental."

765
00:37:35.200 --> 00:37:38.320
It's like, everyone I know in media
is ADHD.

766
00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:41.360
They go, "I'm ADHD." "I'm ADHD."
"Yeah, so am I. I'm ADHD."

767
00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:42.920
"Take the test?" "Yeah, five times."

768
00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:45.920
"Passed it on the fifth."
"Oh, well done." Right?

769
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:49.360
And it's like… They…
"I'm writing a song about it."

770
00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:51.320
"I'm writing a poem."
"I'm writing a book."

771
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:52.760
"Oh, well done. Yeah."

772
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:56.320
And they brag about it.
They put it in their CV and in their…

773
00:37:56.400 --> 00:37:57.560
It's got "disorder" in it.

774
00:37:57.640 --> 00:38:00.200
When did we start bragging
about having a disorder?

775
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:03.200
Twenty years ago, you wouldn't
have got given a business card,

776
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:05.840
and it said, "Ron Pike, anal warts."

777
00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:07.480
You know, just…

778
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:10.560
Keep it to yourself. No one cares.

779
00:38:11.520 --> 00:38:14.480
I think… I think
the new pandemic amongst the youth

780
00:38:14.560 --> 00:38:16.600
is gonna be fear and anxiety,

781
00:38:16.680 --> 00:38:20.120
'cause now we've had a whole generation
who grew up with social media.

782
00:38:20.200 --> 00:38:21.400
Instant gratification.

783
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:23.840
Doesn't build character.
They're not socialized properly.

784
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:25.840
They can't deal face-to-face with people

785
00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:28.720
'cause they're used to hiding
behind an identity and an avatar.

786
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:31.960
And now they've got teachers and parents
enabling their mental illness,

787
00:38:32.040 --> 00:38:34.080
as opposed to trying
to snap 'em out of it.

788
00:38:34.160 --> 00:38:37.800
Now they fear the thing they once loved.
They're worried about the Internet and AI.

789
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.440
Young people are really worried
about artificial intelligence.

790
00:38:40.520 --> 00:38:42.160
And I say this about AI.

791
00:38:42.240 --> 00:38:45.480
If it starts becoming a burden,
switch it off, right?

792
00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:47.520
Like we did Nan.

793
00:38:48.040 --> 00:38:49.120
And…

794
00:38:54.520 --> 00:38:57.400
Another big fear amongst the youth
is climate change.

795
00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:00.160
They're really worried
about global warming.

796
00:39:00.240 --> 00:39:03.160
I looked into it,
and if the polar ice caps completely melt,

797
00:39:03.240 --> 00:39:06.160
the sea level will go up
about 60 meters around the world.

798
00:39:06.240 --> 00:39:08.720
So all coastal areas
will be affected a bit,

799
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:11.480
but the real devastation,
the real loss of life,

800
00:39:11.560 --> 00:39:14.440
will be in places like China and India.

801
00:39:14.520 --> 00:39:16.080
So relax. It's…

802
00:39:18.680 --> 00:39:19.600
It's fine.

803
00:39:21.080 --> 00:39:24.120
But we, um… We all suffer
from a bit of mental illness.

804
00:39:24.200 --> 00:39:27.960
We're all on the spectrum, aren't we?
All got a bit of OCD or anxiety.

805
00:39:28.040 --> 00:39:29.960
Like, I'm a hypochondriac, right?

806
00:39:30.040 --> 00:39:32.440
Every morning, I wake up
and I think, "What's wrong?"

807
00:39:32.520 --> 00:39:35.000
I go, "What's that?
That wasn't there yesterday."

808
00:39:35.080 --> 00:39:36.600
"That wasn't… What's that?"

809
00:39:36.680 --> 00:39:39.680
And I google it. I think, "What could…"
And I catastrophize as well.

810
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:43.840
So I google it,
and the first five or six I'm fine with.

811
00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:46.160
Like, it goes, "Could be anxiety."
"Yeah, could be."

812
00:39:46.240 --> 00:39:47.760
"Lack of sleep." "I didn't sleep well."

813
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:51.200
"Lack of fiber." "I'll have more."
"Lack of vitamin B." "I'll get a…"

814
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:53.240
I keep pushing,
and it goes, "Could be cancer."

815
00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:56.320
I go, "It's cancer.
It's cancer." Like that.

816
00:39:56.400 --> 00:40:00.360
Once I came out of the bathroom and went,
"Jane, I think I've got bowel cancer."

817
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:02.880
She went, "We had beetroot last night."
I go, "Oh yeah. Cheers."

818
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:13.640
I wanna end with
a couple of true stories, if I may. Um…

819
00:40:15.120 --> 00:40:16.320
And, uh, as I said,

820
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:19.360
I think this is my most honest
and confessional show so far,

821
00:40:19.440 --> 00:40:21.800
so I wanna talk about something
I haven't talked about before,

822
00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:24.440
and that's to give you
a glimpse behind the curtain

823
00:40:24.520 --> 00:40:26.160
of the Golden Globes.

824
00:40:26.240 --> 00:40:27.240
And, um…

825
00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:29.320
Thank you. I, uh…

826
00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:34.600
I last hosted the Golden Globes in 2020.

827
00:40:34.680 --> 00:40:36.760
It was the fifth time
over a ten-year period.

828
00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:39.200
I liked 'em more and more.
The last one was my favorite.

829
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:42.000
'Cause the world changed
in that ten years.

830
00:40:42.080 --> 00:40:44.680
The first time I hosted 'em
in, like, 2010,

831
00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:47.840
the press of America fucking…
they hated me.

832
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:51.840
"Who is this annoying Brit, insulting
the most important people on the planet?"

833
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:55.800
By the last time I hosted, they were like,
"Yeah, go on, fuck 'em. Fuck 'em."

834
00:40:57.360 --> 00:41:00.760
Because ordinary people
had got sick and tired

835
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:03.640
of being lectured
by these multi-millionaire…

836
00:41:03.720 --> 00:41:05.240
Nothing wrong with that. These…

837
00:41:06.600 --> 00:41:09.160
…liberal-elite entertainers

838
00:41:09.240 --> 00:41:11.520
telling them how to vote
and how to recycle,

839
00:41:11.600 --> 00:41:14.560
when everyone knew they were getting
free jet rides to Pedo Island.

840
00:41:14.640 --> 00:41:17.120
So it… it really hit the zeitgeist.

841
00:41:17.200 --> 00:41:19.160
It was always the same deal.
"Do you wanna host?"

842
00:41:19.240 --> 00:41:20.440
I said, "Yeah, I'll host."

843
00:41:20.520 --> 00:41:23.360
"But I'm gonna write all my own jokes,"
which was unheard of.

844
00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:26.160
"I'm gonna write my own jokes,
and I'm not gonna rehearse,

845
00:41:26.240 --> 00:41:29.520
so you can't hear the jokes beforehand,
and you can't cancel any."

846
00:41:29.600 --> 00:41:30.880
And they let me do that.

847
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:33.960
I did have to show a lawyer the jokes
about an hour before

848
00:41:34.040 --> 00:41:35.520
to make sure I hadn't broken any laws.

849
00:41:35.600 --> 00:41:36.840
I never had. I know the law.

850
00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:40.600
Sometimes the lawyer would go,
"Are you sure you wanna say that?"

851
00:41:41.080 --> 00:41:43.720
And I'd go, "Is it legal?"
They'd go, "Yep, technically."

852
00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:44.960
I'd go, "Let's do it."

853
00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:48.160
I've never had a joke stopped
by the Golden Globes.

854
00:41:48.240 --> 00:41:50.040
That says something about them,
to be fair.

855
00:41:50.120 --> 00:41:51.680
So, um, anyway…

856
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:53.080
Thank you, um…

857
00:41:55.880 --> 00:41:57.280
This last time, they said,

858
00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:59.440
"Oh, you've gotta see the lawyer
the day before now."

859
00:41:59.520 --> 00:42:00.680
I went, "Okay, great."

860
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:03.240
So I was driven
to the Beverly Hills Center,

861
00:42:03.320 --> 00:42:04.680
and they're all setting up.

862
00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:07.080
The photos of the A-listers
are all in their chairs.

863
00:42:07.160 --> 00:42:10.320
I go, "Oh, there's Brad. There's Leo.
There's Bob." All this, right?

864
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:15.160
And this big guard showed me to this room.
He opened the door and shut it behind me.

865
00:42:15.240 --> 00:42:19.200
And I looked, and there were, suddenly,
ten lawyers in suits. Uh…

866
00:42:19.720 --> 00:42:22.720
It was usually, like,
this middle-aged woman in a jumper.

867
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:25.560
And I thought, "What the fuck's happened?"
I think…

868
00:42:25.640 --> 00:42:29.240
"Is it 'cause it's my last time?
They're making sure I don't say anything…"

869
00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:32.760
And they were… they were there,
and I went, "Hi." They went, "Hi."

870
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:35.880
I said, "Shall I do the monologue?"
They went, "Please."

871
00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:37.240
Tough crowd, right?

872
00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:40.320
So I had the monologue.

873
00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:43.480
And I was going through it.
It was, like, seven or eight minutes long.

874
00:42:43.560 --> 00:42:47.400
So I was doing the jokes,
and after each joke, I sort of looked up,

875
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:49.600
and they were going like that,
making notes.

876
00:42:49.680 --> 00:42:53.000
A couple of the younger ones
were going… Like that.

877
00:42:53.640 --> 00:42:56.680
And, uh, I got to the end,
and I went, "Uh, that's it."

878
00:42:56.760 --> 00:42:58.760
And they went, "Uh, good."

879
00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:00.640
I went, "Oh, great." They went, "Yeah."

880
00:43:00.720 --> 00:43:01.840
And then the head lawyer,

881
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:04.280
he was about 60 years old,
he had white hair,

882
00:43:04.360 --> 00:43:06.440
he went, "Oh yes, there was one thing."

883
00:43:06.520 --> 00:43:08.960
Now, I did this joke.
I don't know if you remember.

884
00:43:09.040 --> 00:43:13.560
Uh, it went, "The world got to see
James Corden as a fat pussy."

885
00:43:14.720 --> 00:43:17.440
"He was also in the movie Cats,
but no one saw that."

886
00:43:17.520 --> 00:43:19.680
And it goes on.

887
00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:21.960
At one point, I go, "But Dame Judi Dench

888
00:43:22.040 --> 00:43:23.960
said it was the role
she was born to play."

889
00:43:24.040 --> 00:43:27.160
"'Cause she loves nothing better
than plonking herself down on the carpet,

890
00:43:27.240 --> 00:43:30.080
lifting her back leg,
and licking her own minge."

891
00:43:31.840 --> 00:43:35.200
So this lawyer went…

892
00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:38.360
He said, um… This is all true, by the way.

893
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:42.520
He went, "When you say
James Corden is a fat pussy,

894
00:43:42.600 --> 00:43:44.760
that's just referring
to his role in Cats, right?"

895
00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:46.560
I went, "Yeah."

896
00:43:49.680 --> 00:43:51.440
"Yeah, definitely." Like that.

897
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:53.960
And he went, "Okay, great."

898
00:43:54.040 --> 00:43:57.160
I thought, "This is easy."

899
00:43:57.240 --> 00:43:58.520
You know? It's, uh…

900
00:43:58.600 --> 00:44:01.440
I wanted to go,
"Call yourself a lawyer?" Right?

901
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:05.320
And that was it. And they went,
"Have a great show," and I left.

902
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:06.520
And as I was leaving,

903
00:44:06.600 --> 00:44:10.160
I saw one of the other lawyers lean in
and show this head lawyer his iPhone.

904
00:44:10.240 --> 00:44:11.880
And the head lawyer went, "Oh yeah."

905
00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:13.960
He went, "Sorry, Ricky.
Can you come back?"

906
00:44:14.560 --> 00:44:17.320
So I'm there. I went, "Yeah."
So he had the phone there.

907
00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:19.720
They'd looked up the word "minge."

908
00:44:21.840 --> 00:44:25.320
I thought I'd gotten away with it.
It's now like I'm getting told off.

909
00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:28.440
And the head lawyer said,
"It says here that the word 'minge'

910
00:44:28.520 --> 00:44:30.720
is a derogatory term
for female genitalia."

911
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:35.280
I went, "Well, yeah, it's a… a slang word
for 'vagina' in England."

912
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:36.360
"You don't use it here."

913
00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:39.120
He went, "No, we don't,
but we go out around the world,

914
00:44:39.200 --> 00:44:42.240
and with due diligence,
now we know it's derogatory,

915
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:43.760
we'll have to bleep that word live."

916
00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:47.320
I went, "Don't bleep the word.
People at home won't know what I've said."

917
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:49.640
"It'll ruin…"
I said, "It's literally the punchline."

918
00:44:49.720 --> 00:44:51.640
He said, "If it's derogatory, we have to."

919
00:44:51.720 --> 00:44:54.960
I said, "Well, what word could I use
that you wouldn't bleep?"

920
00:44:55.040 --> 00:44:57.520
And he went,
"Um, well, you could say 'vagina.'"

921
00:44:57.600 --> 00:45:02.200
I went, "I'm not saying 'vagina.'" Right?
Nothing funny about… It's so clinical.

922
00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:04.080
I was thinking
of Judi Dench at home going,

923
00:45:04.160 --> 00:45:06.880
"Why is he talking
about my actual vagina?" Right?

924
00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:12.480
I said, "'Minge' isn't like that.
It's like… It's not so specific."

925
00:45:12.560 --> 00:45:14.360
'Cause "vagina" is so…

926
00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:16.520
"Where's your vagina?" "There." Right?

927
00:45:17.720 --> 00:45:18.680
"Where's your minge?"

928
00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:20.480
"There." It's like…

929
00:45:23.080 --> 00:45:25.520
One of the younger lawyers went,
"What about 'box'?"

930
00:45:25.600 --> 00:45:29.600
I went, "I'm not fucking saying 'box.'"
"Imagine her licking her own box."

931
00:45:29.680 --> 00:45:32.960
I said, "'Minge' is perfect."
I said, "People won't know what…"

932
00:45:33.040 --> 00:45:36.120
"If they're American, they won't know…
It's not offensive. It's like…"

933
00:45:36.200 --> 00:45:37.400
I said, um,

934
00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:39.760
"Kids use the word in England."

935
00:45:41.640 --> 00:45:43.560
Right? They weren't having it.

936
00:45:43.640 --> 00:45:44.960
So I went… I said,

937
00:45:45.040 --> 00:45:47.080
"What about 'flange'?" Right?

938
00:45:47.600 --> 00:45:50.000
So they looked up
the word "flange." Right?

939
00:45:50.080 --> 00:45:51.760
He went, "That'd just be confusing,

940
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:54.200
'cause in America,
a flange is a part of a sink unit."

941
00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:55.360
I went, "Oh, well…"

942
00:45:55.440 --> 00:45:58.080
I said, "Please let me say 'minge'
and don't bleep it."

943
00:45:58.160 --> 00:46:00.520
I was really rooting for "minge," right?

944
00:46:01.040 --> 00:46:05.720
It was like 12 Angry Men. I was going,
"No one's leaving till I can say 'minge.'"

945
00:46:06.920 --> 00:46:08.800
After about ten minutes, I wore them down.

946
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:11.200
Whatever they said, "That won't work."
I was going, "Please."

947
00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:14.600
I said, "I'll write the…
You won't get any complaints." All this.

948
00:46:14.680 --> 00:46:17.920
And eventually, the head lawyer went,
"Okay, you can say 'minge.'"

949
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:19.880
I went, "You won't bleep it?"
He went, "No."

950
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:23.160
I went, "You promise?" He went, "Yes."
And I left. I knew they would.

951
00:46:24.120 --> 00:46:25.680
And they fucking did, right?

952
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:27.840
So when I said "minge,"

953
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:29.200
I pointed.

954
00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:43.200
The most frequently asked question I get
about the Golden Globes is always,

955
00:46:43.720 --> 00:46:46.760
"Was someone so angry about what you said,
they came up to you afterwards…"

956
00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:48.120
I always go, "Oh God, no."

957
00:46:48.200 --> 00:46:50.760
I wouldn't even say if that had happened,
'cause I don't really…

958
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:53.440
I don't like gossip,
to be honest. Right? Um…

959
00:46:53.520 --> 00:46:56.720
There was one guy
I thought took it the wrong way, right?

960
00:46:56.800 --> 00:46:58.600
It wasn't a bad… No.

961
00:46:58.680 --> 00:47:01.080
The cameras went to him,
and I'm not in control of the cameras.

962
00:47:01.160 --> 00:47:03.760
He was caught in the headlights.
It was Elton John, right?

963
00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:08.080
But, um, it wasn't a bad joke.
I was introducing Madonna, okay?

964
00:47:08.160 --> 00:47:11.840
And I later found out
that him and Madonna were in this feud

965
00:47:11.920 --> 00:47:14.520
and he hated being mentioned
in the same sentence as her.

966
00:47:14.600 --> 00:47:16.760
But I didn't know at the time.
I was confused.

967
00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:20.440
And it wasn't part of the monologue,
but I'm there for, like, three hours,

968
00:47:20.520 --> 00:47:23.120
and now and again,
the stage manager would go,

969
00:47:23.200 --> 00:47:25.120
"You wanna introduce so-and-so?"
I'd go, "Yeah."

970
00:47:25.200 --> 00:47:27.600
I'd come out,
and I either do it straight or I ad-lib.

971
00:47:27.680 --> 00:47:30.840
And this was a little ad-lib,
'cause I saw Elton in the front row.

972
00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:33.480
Uh, so this was the joke.
I came out, and I said,

973
00:47:33.560 --> 00:47:36.760
"Uh, our next presenter
is the Queen of Pop."

974
00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:39.000
"Not you, Elton. Sit down." Right?

975
00:47:40.120 --> 00:47:42.000
It went to him. He went…

976
00:47:42.080 --> 00:47:43.760
And I was going,
"Oh, fuck. He hated that."

977
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:47.360
And I was thinking, "Why has he…
Oh God. Does he think I'm homophobic?"

978
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:49.680
"I'm not homophobic."
There's all this in my head.

979
00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:52.760
Then I thought,
"He must have heard worse." Right?

980
00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:56.520
In the 1980s, right,
when Elton John was in the closet…

981
00:47:56.600 --> 00:47:59.440
He wasn't out.
He was married to a woman. Right?

982
00:47:59.520 --> 00:48:01.720
He was also chairman
of Watford Football Club.

983
00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:05.600
And he and his then wife would go along
and watch Watford play,

984
00:48:05.680 --> 00:48:07.600
and the entire crowd would sing,

985
00:48:07.680 --> 00:48:11.400
"Don't bend down when Elton's around
or you might get a willy up your arse."

986
00:48:14.520 --> 00:48:17.440
Which puts my little quip
into perspective, doesn't it?

987
00:48:18.960 --> 00:48:21.880
I don't know how football fans know
how to start at the right time,

988
00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:22.880
in the same key.

989
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:25.440
Do they hand out sheet music
before a fucking…

990
00:48:25.520 --> 00:48:27.960
We're doing "Willy Up The Arse" in C.

991
00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:31.520
Jeff's doing a solo. It's like… And…

992
00:48:32.040 --> 00:48:34.720
What they do, they get a traditional tune,
so everyone knows it,

993
00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:35.720
and change the lyrics.

994
00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:38.200
Some genius changes the lyrics, right,

995
00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:42.880
to be as offensive about someone
or something or somewhere or whatever.

996
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:44.920
So the tune they used to use,
I remember it,

997
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:47.320
it was that old Cockney knees-up song.

998
00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:50.360
My old man said follow the van

999
00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:52.280
And don't dillydally on the way

1000
00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:54.680
Do you know that one?
Remember the term "dillydally"?

1001
00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:57.760
They use it very creatively
in their version, right?

1002
00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:00.760
So this was their lyric. It was the '80s.

1003
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:03.520
It's not politically correct. I apologize.

1004
00:49:03.600 --> 00:49:05.520
They're football hooligans.
What are you gonna do?

1005
00:49:05.600 --> 00:49:09.120
So let's… let's analyze
their genius lyrics, right?

1006
00:49:09.200 --> 00:49:10.920
This is what they used to sing.

1007
00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:13.880
Don't bend down when Elton's around

1008
00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:16.280
Or you might get a willy up your arse

1009
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:17.760
I mean, you might.

1010
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:19.840
I dunno. Not necessarily his.

1011
00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:24.320
But, you know, mathematicians amongst you
would have to go, "There's a slight…"

1012
00:49:24.840 --> 00:49:27.880
Like, if a thousand people bent down
when Elton was around,

1013
00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:29.280
one of 'em might randomly…

1014
00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:31.720
Someone might come off a bicycle
and go, "Sorry."

1015
00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:33.440
And they're like, "Oh, fuck."

1016
00:49:33.520 --> 00:49:37.120
And the scientists would go, "One."
Do you know what I mean? There's a slight…

1017
00:49:38.160 --> 00:49:41.840
Also, "When Elton's around."
That's ambiguous. That could fit…

1018
00:49:41.920 --> 00:49:45.920
Like, you could have two gentlemen
having anal sex in a hotel room.

1019
00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:46.960
Then, the next day,

1020
00:49:47.040 --> 00:49:50.200
they find out that Elton John
was staying in the next room.

1021
00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:53.920
They go, "Oh, I got a willy up the arse
when Elton was around." You know?

1022
00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:56.640
I'll give 'em that. Anyway.

1023
00:49:57.400 --> 00:50:01.080
Don't bend down when Elton's around
Or you might get a willy up your arse

1024
00:50:01.160 --> 00:50:03.200
He has the nerve to call us "dear"

1025
00:50:03.280 --> 00:50:05.560
We all know he's a fucking queer…

1026
00:50:05.640 --> 00:50:07.360
Sorry. Right?

1027
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:08.400
Then it goes…

1028
00:50:08.480 --> 00:50:09.800
He dallies and dillies…

1029
00:50:09.880 --> 00:50:11.240
They've reversed it. Why?

1030
00:50:11.320 --> 00:50:12.520
He dallies and dillies

1031
00:50:12.600 --> 00:50:14.320
He plays with people's willies…

1032
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:19.040
Again, I don't know
what "play with" means in this context.

1033
00:50:19.120 --> 00:50:22.120
It could be like…
It could be anything, couldn't it?

1034
00:50:23.160 --> 00:50:26.280
"I thought you were gonna suck it." "No."

1035
00:50:27.520 --> 00:50:29.920
He dallies and dillies
He plays with people's willies

1036
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:31.480
He's up every arse in town

1037
00:50:31.560 --> 00:50:35.120
I'd stop 'em there. I'd go, "No."
That is… That is provably false.

1038
00:50:35.200 --> 00:50:37.520
He's not up every arse in town, is he?

1039
00:50:37.600 --> 00:50:40.760
We can prove that. Right?
Take a small town. Take Watford.

1040
00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:42.400
120,000 people.

1041
00:50:42.480 --> 00:50:45.400
He is not up 120,000 arses, is he?

1042
00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:50.080
I mean, half of them are women,
so 60,000 tops. Right?

1043
00:50:50.160 --> 00:50:52.880
I don't think he's been up 60,000.
If he has, good luck to him.

1044
00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:55.120
But that's not my point. This is my point.

1045
00:50:56.000 --> 00:50:58.320
It… What did his then wife think of that?

1046
00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:00.880
'Cause he's in the closet, right?
It… He's… You know?

1047
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:04.200
And she's just married Elton John.
She couldn't be… She's in love.

1048
00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:07.200
She's so proud of him. Elton John.
And he's chairman of Watford.

1049
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:10.200
She goes, "I'm married to Elton John,
the pop star."

1050
00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:12.160
And then the entire crowd sing,

1051
00:51:12.240 --> 00:51:16.360
"Don't bend down when Elton's around
or you might get a willy up your arse."

1052
00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:19.160
She must have gone,
"Why are they singing that, Elton?"

1053
00:51:19.240 --> 00:51:21.800
And he goes, "I don't fucking know.
Watch the game."

1054
00:51:21.880 --> 00:51:25.360
You know what I mean?
It must have been awkward.

1055
00:51:27.720 --> 00:51:29.800
That's nearly it for me, but I've just…

1056
00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:34.360
I said earlier, I've never had a joke
stopped by the Golden Globes.

1057
00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:35.720
That is absolutely true,

1058
00:51:35.800 --> 00:51:39.000
but I've just remembered a joke
that I stopped myself,

1059
00:51:39.080 --> 00:51:41.840
'cause I bottled it a bit, and I wanna…

1060
00:51:41.920 --> 00:51:44.320
I think I was being overcautious.
I wanna share it with you.

1061
00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:48.160
So I got the chance
to introduce Jason Momoa.

1062
00:51:48.240 --> 00:51:50.440
Do you know who Jason Momoa is?
Yeah, right?

1063
00:51:50.520 --> 00:51:55.160
So I thought the meta joke would be
to show my hypocrisy and my cowardice.

1064
00:51:55.240 --> 00:51:58.880
Like, I… I… I'm okay to slag off actors.
Who's scared of actors?

1065
00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:01.720
But when it comes to a big dude,
I'm not so brave.

1066
00:52:01.800 --> 00:52:02.880
So I was gonna go,

1067
00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:05.800
"I've got nothing bad to say
about our next presenter,

1068
00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:09.000
'cause he's got a cock
like a baby's arm," right?

1069
00:52:10.960 --> 00:52:13.160
I told my mate I was gonna do that,
and my mate went…

1070
00:52:13.240 --> 00:52:15.480
"Do you think
people'll think that's racist?"

1071
00:52:15.560 --> 00:52:17.040
I went, "Why is it racist?"

1072
00:52:17.120 --> 00:52:19.600
He went, "Well,
'cause he's a person of color, and…"

1073
00:52:19.680 --> 00:52:21.240
I went, "It's nothing to do with that."

1074
00:52:21.320 --> 00:52:23.240
"It's to do with the fact that he's so big

1075
00:52:23.320 --> 00:52:26.160
that he'd probably have
a cock like a baby's arm, right?"

1076
00:52:26.680 --> 00:52:28.840
So I didn't do it,
and I had a great follow-up.

1077
00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:32.000
I'll tell you the whole thing.
This is what I was gonna do.

1078
00:52:32.520 --> 00:52:34.400
Right, so I go out and go,

1079
00:52:35.160 --> 00:52:38.160
"I've got nothing bad to say
about our next presenter

1080
00:52:38.240 --> 00:52:40.560
'cause he's got a cock like a baby's arm."

1081
00:52:40.640 --> 00:52:41.880
"Unlike Peter Dinklage,

1082
00:52:41.960 --> 00:52:43.920
who's got an arm like a baby's cock."

1083
00:52:56.360 --> 00:52:58.200
It's great to hear
this sort of laughter again.

1084
00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:00.520
You probably don't notice it
as much as comedians,

1085
00:53:00.600 --> 00:53:02.400
but we've had a really weird ten years,

1086
00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:05.640
where we're really second-guessing,
going, "Is that okay?"

1087
00:53:05.720 --> 00:53:08.560
Someone… People could
find anything offensive.

1088
00:53:08.640 --> 00:53:11.560
But we pushed back, and we won,
so fuck 'em.

1089
00:53:11.640 --> 00:53:13.080
Um…

1090
00:53:20.040 --> 00:53:23.520
Until the next time. They haven't gone.
They're just licking their wounds.

1091
00:53:23.600 --> 00:53:25.520
They'll be back with something madder.

1092
00:53:25.600 --> 00:53:27.280
But remember who it is next time.

1093
00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:31.680
It's always, like,
these sort of educated, middle-class,

1094
00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:36.080
privileged, um, elitist sort of people
telling ordinary working-class people

1095
00:53:36.160 --> 00:53:39.200
what they can and can't do
and say and laugh at,

1096
00:53:39.280 --> 00:53:43.320
not realizing how important comedy is
to ordinary people.

1097
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:45.720
When I was a kid
growing up in Reading with nothing,

1098
00:53:45.800 --> 00:53:47.360
humor was like a lifesaver.

1099
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:49.200
It was like a superpower, right?

1100
00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:51.960
Not a real one, like flight,
but you know what I mean?

1101
00:53:52.040 --> 00:53:53.920
You ask anyone their superpower,

1102
00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:56.280
I reckon seven out of ten
will say "flight,"

1103
00:53:56.360 --> 00:53:59.280
and three will go "super strength"
or something, which is great.

1104
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:02.880
If you're a superhero, flying around,
being super strong, great.

1105
00:54:02.960 --> 00:54:03.960
But sooner or later,

1106
00:54:04.040 --> 00:54:06.840
a supervillain will go,
"Look at that cunt. I'm gonna…"

1107
00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:10.200
"I'm gonna get him and murder him." Right?

1108
00:54:10.280 --> 00:54:13.120
My superpower, they wouldn't even know
it was me doing it.

1109
00:54:13.200 --> 00:54:15.640
They wouldn't even know
there was a superpower being used.

1110
00:54:15.720 --> 00:54:17.200
It would get you out of any situation.

1111
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:21.640
My superpower would be the ability
to make anyone instantly

1112
00:54:21.720 --> 00:54:22.560
shit themselves.

1113
00:54:24.160 --> 00:54:27.200
You're getting mugged at knifepoint.
They go, "Give me your wallet."

1114
00:54:27.280 --> 00:54:29.560
You just go… They go, "Fuck."

1115
00:54:29.640 --> 00:54:30.880
"Oh, fuck."

1116
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:32.800
Game over. It's game over.

1117
00:54:38.200 --> 00:54:40.040
That's another thing I'm very proud of.

1118
00:54:40.120 --> 00:54:42.560
I can honestly say, in all my 64 years,

1119
00:54:42.640 --> 00:54:46.440
I have never shat myself once, so, um…

1120
00:54:46.520 --> 00:54:48.920
No, don't applaud. No.

1121
00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:51.000
No! Right.

1122
00:54:52.080 --> 00:54:53.960
Yeah.

1123
00:54:54.040 --> 00:54:56.160
"Why do you like London so much, Rick?"

1124
00:54:56.240 --> 00:54:58.920
'Cause you get a round of applause
for not shitting yourself.

1125
00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:01.280
Right.

1126
00:55:01.360 --> 00:55:03.360
But that's the next phase now. The next…

1127
00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:06.000
I reckon it's the next ten years
that I will…

1128
00:55:06.080 --> 00:55:09.720
But as of now,
my arsehole has never let me down.

1129
00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:11.840
Very underrated, the human arsehole.

1130
00:55:11.920 --> 00:55:15.000
Everyone goes, "The human brain,
the greatest computer known to man."

1131
00:55:15.080 --> 00:55:17.520
"Oh, the human liver
can regenerate itself."

1132
00:55:17.600 --> 00:55:20.200
Your arsehole is working 24-7.

1133
00:55:20.280 --> 00:55:22.920
Even when you're asleep, it's like that.
"You're not coming out."

1134
00:55:23.000 --> 00:55:25.840
"You're not coming out.
You're not coming out."

1135
00:55:27.120 --> 00:55:28.120
"No."

1136
00:55:30.240 --> 00:55:32.480
"You're not coming out.
And you're not coming in."

1137
00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:45.400
'Cause it's like…
it's like a sewer in there, innit?

1138
00:55:45.480 --> 00:55:47.400
But you've got a lovely
little manhole cover.

1139
00:55:47.480 --> 00:55:50.000
Think of that in real life.
Walking along a pavement.

1140
00:55:50.080 --> 00:55:52.960
If that burst…
And you know what's in a sewer, don't you?

1141
00:55:53.040 --> 00:55:55.080
Piss and shit

1142
00:55:55.680 --> 00:55:56.800
and cum and…

1143
00:55:58.040 --> 00:55:59.880
…dead goldfish.

1144
00:56:01.160 --> 00:56:03.080
Fetuses.

1145
00:56:03.160 --> 00:56:04.720
In China.

1146
00:56:04.800 --> 00:56:05.840
Just the…

1147
00:56:06.520 --> 00:56:09.080
Just the girl ones. Relax. Just…

1148
00:56:14.360 --> 00:56:17.160
I'm at that age now as well,
'cause I'm in entertainment,

1149
00:56:17.240 --> 00:56:19.200
people say,
"Are you gonna have a facelift?"

1150
00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:20.520
I go, "No."

1151
00:56:20.600 --> 00:56:24.000
Have you seen facelifts?
They're still just that. You know?

1152
00:56:24.080 --> 00:56:27.600
You go to the doctor, and the doctor goes,
"Do you wanna look old or Chinese?"

1153
00:56:27.680 --> 00:56:28.880
It's like…

1154
00:56:29.480 --> 00:56:32.160
Nothing wrong with looking Chinese,
if you're Chinese.

1155
00:56:32.240 --> 00:56:34.360
If you're not Chinese, it's a bit weird.

1156
00:56:34.440 --> 00:56:36.080
It's offensive. Why is that allowed?

1157
00:56:36.160 --> 00:56:39.080
You're not allowed to black up.
Why can you do that?

1158
00:56:40.080 --> 00:56:43.880
Maybe there are terms and conditions
to make sure you're never that racist.

1159
00:56:43.960 --> 00:56:46.200
The doctor goes,
"Right, we've done the eyes,

1160
00:56:46.280 --> 00:56:49.680
but never leave the house
in a little lampshade because…"

1161
00:56:53.320 --> 00:56:56.400
Oh, so childish.

1162
00:56:56.480 --> 00:56:58.040
It's so childish.

1163
00:56:58.920 --> 00:57:02.600
I hope you agree it was a positive show.
It wasn't about death. It was about life.

1164
00:57:02.680 --> 00:57:05.480
Some people are so worried about dying,
they forget to live.

1165
00:57:05.560 --> 00:57:09.160
Some people are so scared to do stuff.
They go, "No, that's dangerous."

1166
00:57:09.240 --> 00:57:12.320
All the most fun things are dangerous.
Roads are dangerous.

1167
00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:15.080
Alcohol is dangerous. Alcohol is a poison.

1168
00:57:15.160 --> 00:57:17.240
I should know. I sell it. Dutch Barn.

1169
00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:18.960
Right, so… Yes.

1170
00:57:19.040 --> 00:57:23.120
Like, alcohol gives you brain disease,
liver disease, kidney disease,

1171
00:57:23.200 --> 00:57:25.000
heart disease, mental illness,

1172
00:57:25.080 --> 00:57:27.960
but it does loosen you up at parties, so…

1173
00:57:29.360 --> 00:57:32.520
Think of all the babies
born through alcohol. Yeah.

1174
00:57:32.600 --> 00:57:35.960
Many of them deformed
if the mother carried on drinking.

1175
00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:39.520
But the good thing
about being born deformed is,

1176
00:57:39.600 --> 00:57:41.280
um, you…

1177
00:57:41.360 --> 00:57:42.320
Yeah.

1178
00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:43.480
Hear me out.

1179
00:57:43.560 --> 00:57:46.640
The good thing
about being born deformed is

1180
00:57:46.720 --> 00:57:49.360
you can start drinking
at a much younger age

1181
00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:51.280
and no one gives you… You know?

1182
00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:53.640
You see a normal kid drinking,
you go, "You little bastard."

1183
00:57:53.720 --> 00:57:56.840
You see a deformed kid drinking,
you go, "Yeah, go on." You know?

1184
00:57:56.920 --> 00:57:57.920
You know what I mean?

1185
00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:01.320
You're eight or nine.
You've had 27 painful operations.

1186
00:58:01.400 --> 00:58:02.640
You've met Olly Murs.

1187
00:58:02.720 --> 00:58:04.720
Have a drink, you know?

1188
00:58:06.360 --> 00:58:07.680
Well…

1189
00:58:09.120 --> 00:58:11.760
As you can see,
I've run out of quality material, um…

1190
00:58:12.960 --> 00:58:16.400
But you've been absolutely amazing.
Thank you and good night.
