 Is this going though? It's going okay and feel free to drink Yeah, we should just feel comfortable about it but the way the way that I think it would start Would be that I would say hello on your mossy and welcome to the We are the problems podcast, okay for the first one, but basically I'd be putting these on YouTube yeah taking the audio and releasing the audio as a as a podcast, okay I don't know what you call a video podcast. No one has Nailed a good vlog a vlog or a vlog cast maybe Vodcast yes, that's accurate, but it's really inelegant the way it would work is that what I might as well just just do it now I've been writing comedy Well, we've both been doing our thing in the entertainment industry for we've been aware of each other like 25 years Yes for 16 years. I've been writing with a Writing partner. Yep, and I split up with someone about two years ago, and I've been doing okay Yeah, I really miss writing material with someone else right another Comedy writer. Yeah, which would be great, but You know they're hard to come by so I thought why not why don't be promiscuous? Why don't yeah and meet up with people who's who's who's work I intellectually promiscuous. Yeah, and that would mean that I could also write material in real time with friends and Former colleagues from other disciplines, which is why I wanted to meet up with you So thanks so much for being my first. Thank you. I think I'm gonna call all of them a pilot Yeah, endless pilot. Yeah, the we are the problems comedy writers podcast with Neil Mosse Pilot zero zero the endless pilot. Yeah, the preparation never ends. Yeah, and I'm gonna put cap on because it's the hottest day of the year Yes I've got two things That I can offer you one is that any Material that comes up Is ours. Yeah, and there's videographic evidence Yeah, and if we wanted to find You online, do you have a place online? Just just mark a right on Face face book really and I put the a in because Everyone thought we're not everyone, but I was the guy from Tau See I didn't think that we would get such a great filming position. We're in the new Sussex pub, which is gorgeous Yeah, it is in Lansing. I Write jokes about topics But I have negative feelings towards yes That's where the comedy comes from. Yes, and if you go deep enough into the subject You can see the point where it goes beyond Pointing my finger at it. You realize that you are the problem, right with the problem And I've got like this permafrost Of about 20 topics that I haven't I haven't tackled. Okay. I've got indecisiveness Black tie that might be a good one where those regularly. Yeah plastics My email inbox YouTube energy companies theater Personal finances electric cars privatized trains I haven't had a single near-death experience be ironic if I died just after this but would So that wouldn't that but that wouldn't still wouldn't be near-death experience. That'd just be a death experience shuffle the pack These are topics that I haven't even been able to look at right. Okay. Okay personal finances. I've got this word association for All aspects of Right personal finance bang banks are greedy Banks are a hassle We always attach emotion To banks Like like it's like it's like it's a personal insult to us or they've personally got it in for us And we need to learn to move away from that and learn to move away from feeling aggrieved By the actions of a bank right because they're just doing what they do they do what they do I'm but but we know this is what they do That's the trick with banks is to not take it personally which is difficult to do when you've been indoctrinated with Pigs and money boxes and stuff when you're a kid can't see about it because we can cut this out you I Don't know what how would you describe yourself? It is been sent to your job Even though I've known you for 25 years I would consider myself a professional entertainer, but somebody wants to describe me as party Elvis So if you listen to an Elvis or watch an Elvis concert and listen to an Elvis concert He didn't do many of these biggest hits So quite often he would he wouldn't do suspicious minds. He never did Viva Las Vegas He never did those songs But I figure most people the Elvis album that they might have above all else's Elvis number ones Did you have to get the the costume and the We're gonna. Yeah, the costume. Well, I got a cheaper costume to begin with But but then I then got some professional costumes made by a company called being cutting states And they're made from the same patterns as Elvis's own the exact replicas So they're costed almost two grand each and that was in 2004 But people would like to see the authenticity of it. So you all kind of got our recognize that costume In Vegas, you might go out during love me tender and take six minutes giving everyone a kiss and a handshake He wouldn't stand on a table You know getting Mick Jagger stole getting everyone to interact. He never did that whereas I do that that must wreck the Two thousand pound jumps. No, no, no There's a reason why they were designed in the way they were designed So Elvis could do these moves with freedom. Yeah, and they were designed on He wanted the freedom to move in the way that he could in a karate suit because he did karate moves on stage So those jumpsuits which are obviously very open down to just above the navel They're actually very free The next one on the list is pounds Oh our Paracel. Oh, so are you all right? I can't plug you. So our Tents blown away So quite near the coast here in Yes, this is wonderful. Look at this. We've got fish goose on chicken goose on. Thank you So we've got more personal finance terms. Is there anything about cash that is annoying or useless or Unnatural coins Right I had this discussion my son We've got the we've I think we're agreed that the one pound coin is the the best coin the two-pound coin is It's just really annoying. No, just the look of it itself. It feels a bit gawky and awkward There's something about the one pound coin the proportions are right. It feels like one pounds. Yeah, two-pound coin It's got ideas above its station. Is it twice as big? I don't think it is. That's another Reason why it's a bit rubbish. You know, it wants to be a fiver Really in an ideal world. It's like a caterpillar that the fire is like the butterfly whereas a one-pound coin knows its status It's like I'm functional. I do a job. You need something small. I'm your man Get a little bit more than that You can't actually you're just all you're useful for things that cost one pound fourteen That's where you come into play one pound fourteen. That's not that much more than a pound Do you feel like you have savings if you if you have debt? Yeah, which is crazy But even the even the debts are outweighed by other Savings yeah, and stuff that are you in credit in life All right generally. Yeah, but I've got I've got Nothing too Scientific to base that on I feel ahead But if there were some Catastrophe, yeah, I don't cavemen felt that you know, I've got this cave But if there's some tsunami or Rockfall What gets that how would the cave men and we assume it is the men that did this Allocate the caves because there must have been some caves that were nicer than other caves, right? So it must have been in the pecking order You think there's a system? Yeah, and a state a cave agents So we're going let's go a bit of damn they've all got damn and he's wearing a flash Yeah, and he's like hair and beard a slick man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah the cave man estate agent But so now this is a very desirable spot overlooking the Serengeti good access to the community fire Yeah, the very few cheaters around this area because we're well High ground here, and it's quite a deep cave. So there's a bit of privacy the other ones I mean you're just on show it's up cave for the little ones Yeah, I Think they did but that would have been allocated through Brute force and strength so so the cave man that would have had that yeah He would have been the cave man that that were was able to kill The bison on the buffalo And so providing food so therefore they would have been different so so it came from brute force All status would have come from Lord of the Flies So I think it's only relatively recently that society has stopped being Lord of the Flies So money money is the invention of wimps to gain control over people that might punch you in the mouth Yeah, and then because what happens when people get lots of money when they move far away from everyone else Round other wall around their house or detached house or a gated community To prevent force taking it away. Yeah, yes Yes to prevent them from being punched in the mouth by someone tougher because they know if it came to that They would lose so they have to put back the value on that And but so they apply themselves to move into an alternate system So on our bank notes it should be I promise to pay the bearer one punch in the mouth if it was done like that We we would be so in debt But we would be so in debt because we're wimps, right people wimps created money To to control to control the world and so they didn't get a punch in the mouth and to keep tough people at bay No, I've got some more words here. It might be easier. Should we just pick one more? You pick my cards Cards, okay. Yeah, we've not talked about cards. Yeah It felt really special when I got my first Money card and yeah, there's a choice of plastic things that you could get we had a count with them Hallyfax it was a building society so there were no gimmicks like that and I can remember as a kid looking at Nat West And I want to like a comedy pig. I'm not sure branding agency woods a line of bank with Right, I'm not sure that no that wouldn't be the obvious icon. Oh, yeah, but that was a time when It's all about getting rich. So the 80s was about get rich I've been getting in being a pig Yeah, look at you your fat cat you've made it you're a pig big fat pig a well-fed fat pig well done Now you get a car that you just go I can't do that. Yeah, would you do you do that? I don't all the time, but I think there's something good that your car you have to penetrate a machine that there is a physical Union You're looking at the figure as you're doing. Yeah, but then I'm now picking out the bacteria from everyone Else's been king You don't do the knuckle No, the knuckle press. Oh God, that's genius. Why am I not doing that? Well, I need to do the knuckle press thing Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've got I always do that. Hey, this is the circle. So you're back to the punch in the face. There we go That is that's I'm keeping it. I'm punching That's what I'm doing. There we go. That is a perfect place.
