There's no doubt about it. It just tastes better. Matchdays deserve Pepsy This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Listening to this podcast instead of doom sccrolling? Smart Mve.

I'm thinking about How many How can we go without? Please, this is insulting. Without an inuendo? Yeah In your endo. In your endo. be really. Look who we've got on board. David Morrisy, how you doing, David? I'm very well, very well, very pleased to be here. suchuch a privilege to be with you. Thank you. Notice you've been looking at my books over there. Yeah. Well it's a wonderful book. read, did you That's a wonderful book collection. I always think you can tell so much about people's book shelves, kind? Well they're actually they're just a VHS video They're like you pull one out and they all come at once. Yeah They're like comeomem dying with me, Dickinson's real Parggin. Oh, you've read that one Store a Murder. That's brilliant. ye. that's wonderful. andrilliant sameve as well. I love a true crime Yeah. and also she approaches thoseose subjects which have usually had a male narrative attached to them, but she comes at it from the female point of view, like five is all about the five victims of Jack the Ripper but really goes in depth into their lives and who they were and she makes them rather than just numbers in in a sort of a crime investigation, you know Because I Annie Chapman, you know, you think she's a sex worker and a prostitute, but it shows you back then, if you had misfortune like her husband was worked for Queen Victoria at Windsor. peopleeople who fell on hard times. And he was abusive and drg ra beater and she had to there's no social services. Yeah. I mean fascinating, but I really recommend it I think it'd be nice to be made into a music. Who told you that? That just came to me No you said that and I think David said it would make a really good musical. I saw dark left field musical. I just think that the five women in it who are so sort of idiosyncratic and wonderful and really and also Victorian London so atmospheric and sweet told lookook at that musical. that's a really grim sub. And well, American Psycho they did recently which was really brilliant as well. So you know, I don't think we need to shy away from that I'm a big musical fan, so I do think it'll be great. Are you sort of hinting at me being Jack the Ripper in this musical? I wasn't, but you know it's up for grabs, you know, if anything that ripp Anything that brings the investment, you Oh wait there, Hollywood's calling. Yeah. What are you doing? George? You are sweet snuggling up snuggling up. what's your favourite musical then? Oh God. I can't see you singing along. Do you ever do like them? sound a music? We dress as a n? No, I've not done that. I've've done those interactive ones. I'd love to do that, but I've not done them. Westide I love Westide Story. I love the I didn't love the recent film, the Spielberg film. I'm a big fan of the original film, which I think is wonderful You know, so that's that's great. But I mean cararousel I think is a really good. I recently went to see Les Mres and I had never seen it.. I'd never seen it. So I went about a year ago and I thought, okay, I know this story. I know it's like And I went I was taken there for my birthday and blown away by it, I thought, Ohh my Godd, I don't know this show. I know the numbers Yeah. But I don't know the story. I never I didn't see the film What links all these people together And I thought it was just wonderful. I was blown away by it. So late to the party but really loved it Well, listen, you're not in a musical, but you are in what sounds like an absolutely amazing thriller on channel four, Tiptoe, written by Russell T. Davis and produced by Nicola Schindler. Yeah. I mean, that's going to be quality, isn't it? Yeah, just that the people involved was the first thing I really wanted to sort of, you know My interest, Russell, I've worked with on whoo I did a doctor who years ago, but I've known him and I just adore his work. K Nicla I've worked with as well both as an actor and a producer myself and just loved her But also it stars Alan Cumming, who's like been one of my best friends for the last forty years. So it's really amazing to work with him. The material is very dark, it's very difficult to watch, I think. It's also very You know, it's about the divisions in society today and the need to blame others for your own sort of predicament really And it's set in Manchester All and plays a guy in Manchester who runs a ub in Canal Street. He's sort of struggling because he's a small businessman really and you know for all the difficulties that people are facing He lives next door to me in Manchester and I'm an electrician, but I'm down on hard times. I'm sort of Lost my job, My kids are growing up. My marriage is not in a good place and I sort of become radicalized by The far right, really, and Alan becomes the target of my aggression. Because Russell T. Davy says it's his angriest work yet. And he says it's going to be called woke by colossal degree and stuff because The thing is we woke no one actually knows what it is, but I mean, I think what the original woke was looking out for people, marginalised people and being on their side, I think it's just that word being made into something. It's now, isn't it? Yeah now it's a term to close down argument, I think. you know, whereereas what Russell is trying to do is bring this to the forefront of our a debate really of saying look, this is where we're going. If we're not even if we haven't arrived there already, which I think we have. in a sense that we're not looking after each other. There's a wonderful bit where Allan confronts me and says you'll believe everything you read on the internet, but you won't believe me, your neighbor for the last twelve years, someone who you know, you won't believe what I say a my lived experience, but you'll believe all this nonsense that you get amplified on the internet. And that's true of my character. E every sort of conspiracy theory has or sort of strange notion He goes on the internet and it's amplified in his head and you know, sort of he he gets verification for it on the internet. and then he lives with that sort of certainty, even though the evidence in front of him is not there The trouble with conspiracy theories is they go too far, I feel. because there was a man who came, I don't want to be too specific but did some work at the house and he's a bit of a conspiracy theories. And it starts off allright. And then he started saying that there is people who live in the South Pole twelve feet tall and a master race and I was like, Ohh here we go. But I bet if you looked at that up on the internet, there'll be loads of people saying, yes, you're right. We've seen I'm doing an interview with one of them after this. So findem on be podcast. Anything you want confirmed will be on there. Yeah It's weird isn't it crazy. Tell us a conspiracy theory you believe it? Do you believe the world's flat No, I don't believe the world was flat. And I do believe that we went to the moon. I mean, I think some people don't. I mean clever people, you go. Yeah. Well I mean there's a great bit of Buzz Aldrom where he's this guy confronts him And just keeps going up to him saying, you know, you never went to the moon. Nobody's ever been to the moon. And then at one point he says to Buzz Aldrren, you sir are a liar. And Buzz Aldrren just turns around and punches him right in the face. And you're so pleased. It's br. So you know,'s because it's also insulting at the bottom of the day. You're calling someone a liar who's done it. P all that training out of the mode I think conspiracy theories have always been with us, but the idea now of social media and X or whatever is they get amplified to the nth degree. and you know that's the difficulty is the fact that everything you want, you can start any rumor. You know, it's always that thing of bad news will all be around the world before the truth has got his boots on, you know, and that's true and with the internet that's even more true, you know, So it's very dangerous. Have you heard that thing that I'm married to a woman and got four kids? No, no, but I saw that. I have seen them in your house this morning. Yeah, yeah, darling. Darling Joanna's popped out. Get some laingerie for tonight, Victoria Secrets It wasas it Steak and BJ Night When is that Do you remember that used to be? No, I don't remember that. I my fit. How do I know about it? I don't know God. Stak. Steak and a bigay night. That was something. Was it something weird What is this? Joanne. My wife loves it. She says she wishes it was everyday. cow. Well you know what now insight into Man's life. Now now we're being a little bit risque. I'm just gonna say because you won't believe this. Someone sent me a screen grab My feet is on a celebrity what's it called footfish? Noot four point one five out of five. That's not bad. They've taken a screen grab of me on a one of those inflatableles machine the table of the people who are above and below. No, no, no. I don't really want it on my research engine my history. R my mum saidays, I just want to book some train tickets Dirty feet. Look at your nails Oh, Ala, look at the state of your Vveruca. I've booked you into a podiatry. Soela, we've got to talk about travel. Now Listen, we all some of us can't afford to go all over the place, these fancy places. Let's start at the beginning because you love Liverpool, don't you? Tell us a hidden gem or some of that people must do in Liverpool. I love Liverpool. and whenever I'm up there tourent, I always got a formb Yeah, Fornby is lovely. I mean, that coastline actually from Liverpool to Southport and there's a place called Freshfields up there and Fomby Beach and all that it's really a wonderful coastline And also Liverpool itself now. I mean, when I grew up, the city council really hadn't sort of tweiged to the fact that they had one of the greatest tourist attractions in the world, which was the Beatles. They literally didn't do anything, you know And then they suddenly in the eighties and nineties, they suddenly thought, Ohh we can monitorize this. So suddenly there was a Beatles Museum, places like John and Paul's house became national Tust places. Th there was this magical mystery tour of Liverpool and stuff. And now they're really sort of selling it quite rightly There there a hotel called the Yellow sububmarine. There's a hotel called the Beatles Hotel. and instead of saying you know where you put your thing saying do not disturb. they say let it be, you know, that' I I see what'sver. And on the breakfast starars trip advisor. I how sex is my feet but the breakfast menu you can get instead of you can get a day kipper and stuff. So yeah, there's lots of things like that all over the place. But you're very easily pased. I love a pond tpe But the city itself is great and it's always got the river And I think it's a place where the town developments, the inner city developments have been really well done on the most part. And I think it's a beautiful, that's U again growing up The whole dock side was just derelict really and there tpe there there this Liverpool Museum, but all along there Part of the start of that, really was this morning So when Richard and Judy were Oh ye and they were on the dock side And that sort of rejuvenated that started making that dockside area a little bit more sort of tourists would go, people would recognize it, they would seek it out and then the tate happened and then other things. But the city itself aect it really? Yeah, it really is. And you know if you build it, they will come. But also people are looked after that. I think it's, you know, Noriously a very friendly city, but it is a great place to go as a destination, Is it tr you're in that Beetles biopic I am and it's not about its it's four Beatles films. Sam Menis is directing them and it's all about each one has taken the life of one of the Beetatles.. you playing it? can you tell him? Yes, I can. I play Paul McCartney's dad, Jim. Yeah, yeah. That's all I can tell you. Yeah of course. Have you read that amazing book? Is it four three twenty one? I have read that. I wasn't wild about that boy. Why not? I just thought it was allright. I thought it was anecdotal. The book I really love is John and Paul which is the one that's just come out, which is about the relationship between the two of them, which is fantastic. But yeah, I like Craig Brown. I think he's great. But that book in the end though was a bit like Do I really want to know about everybody else who was on, you know sort of thed Sullivan S showow when the Beatles were on? Not really.

And Paul McCartney is going, D no, no, no out Let's get back. But he hes he just starts picking out know get that I'll shout. Just seeing how they worked. I mean, what they would do is just one of them would start a riff and the other one would join in and that could go on for ages. and just that I thought was wonderful. Rinko just looks bored at the back, didn't it? Yeah, but he's the glue, isn't? He's the person who brings them all together. He's always the first one into the rehearsal room, which is weird But he's also always there there's a really heartbreaking bit when Ringo and Paul are sitting there waiting for John and George and Paul just says And then there was two And you're like, oh my Godd, and there is only two of them now. You know, that was really weird. But yeah, I loved that documentary and watched it endlessly So listen, let's talk about travel. What's your first holiday memory? So yeah, Liverpool obviously be, you know, where we would go is the Wales really, we would always go over to Wales. Southport was a day trip. We would go to Southport and be on the arcades and stuff. The great thing about Southport is the sea never comes in. So you've got this beach that goes on for miles pool was sort of a place of you know maybe a day trip and sort of a lovely sort of treat But a holiday staying away from home probablyably go somewhere like Rill or Pthelly or somewhere like that North Wales coast We might get a chalet there or a caravan or something like that. and we'd be there And I have fond memories of that. Also Land Dudner we went to Landudner once and I'm very I'm like The youngest of four So when we went on holiday, my sister might have come with us, but usually it was just my momum and dad and me And my brothers were gone by then. they were sort of a college or whatever. And yeah, I have really fond memories of that That was very, you know, North Wales was the coastline for us. That's not my IBS by the way. They're building a bloody what's it called?

Wow, You're too young for a midnight. You are Swedes Gy smooth Anie. You're so smooth. What are we saying then We' talking about the people next door building a swimming pool and you having a castle.

He has this thing called Club Coming, which is amazing. and he's been doing that since he did cabaret So when he did Cabaret, which he did for For decades, I think he did it for, you know, on and off in his dressing room end he had so many people who would come and see the show. He'd open up his dressing room and that became this thing called Club Coming and it got it grew from there and now it has a few I think it has one permanent venue, but it's sort of a floating sort of night as well. Yeah ye. And it's so brilliant and You know, the show was fantastic, but the experience afterwards was brilliant.

What's been your most extravagant holiday So I did go to u The Maldives. I'd been working really hard and quite stressed And I don't know why I did it in that b. We werere not allowed to their own act. We're not allowed to say stress We're not allowed to say stress so we have to put a little bit. But yeah, it was really I cannot say first world problems anymore because the world has gone. very dark now. You feel like if you moan. I know It with us I can only tell certain people about my castle are getting a free hot tub. Yeah. some people like, I can't believe. where am I supposed to have a hot tub in my castle?

Honestly. I'm just like so deluded. Mean Markle. Anyway. Yeah, so I booked the Maldives. I very much last minute booked the Maldives and that was quite extravagant. And the only thing about it was it was a lovely holiday apart from the fact that the whole time I was there, I was thinking I can't believe how much this is cost I couldn't enjoy it Because I kept thinking, oh my go, I've got to get some work after this. What's gonna happen? Oh my go, how much is this? how much is that? You know, it sort of sort of skimping on things and stuff. I it was just really weird. but yeah, I didn't love it. I didn't love the fact that something had cost me so much money And I did feel uncomfortable. You get guilt, I suppose. You do get a bit of guilt. Yeah. I got guilt and I just felt that it was a bit too Yeah the traer Yeah ye. With Share My trip from Uber, you can send your live trip location to the ones who matter most. Like Dan and Hannah, who always wake up to make sure their daughter gets back to her college dorm room Or Tiffany who's running late as usual, and her friends are tracking her trip to make sure she's actually on her way. Look, she's right there. She's three minutes away. Or Sam who never goes anywhere without her roommate knowing exactly where she is Some journeys are meant to be shared Share your ride in real time with share My trip on Uber. One more way Uber is putting safety at every turn. Learn more on the Uber app. You do a lot of travel with UNH own No UNHCR, which is with the tax people HMRC. I do I don't tell them I've been doing a lot of traveveling. I knew this bloody because it's for the United Nations. Yeah, it's not catchy, is it the acronym? UNHCR ye. so I've been with them for a long time Good Well ammbassaded for themes. I yes, and I've been You know, what's happening at the moment really distressing for many reasons, but I've been in Lebanon a lot. I've spent a lot of time in Lebanon and have some great great friends. How do you feel when you see the news? I' just heartbroken, reallyally heartbroken and just, you know, sort of I've been in touch with a few my friends, but A couple of them haven't got back to me yet, so all about really? God. So that's been really stressful. And also then went to Jordan with UNHCR to refugee camps there And Yeahah, I've done a lot of work for them. And then I was in a place called Qata, which is in the border it's in Pakistan on the border of Afghanistan. And there's a place there where they're educating they've got these universities which are holding places for Afghan girls, women and girls to come and complete their education because of course they weren't allowed They weren't allowed to have they weren't allowed to have their education. So that's what they're providing there as well as, you know, just the basics for living, you know, for your making ends meet and sort of eating and drinking and shelter and stuff. There's education programs that are happening there as well. So they do amazing work. but as you say, the world is such a scary place at the moment. I haven't done a trip like that for a while Um, but it's it' is, you know, it's work that constantly we need to be doing and here as well and you know, sort of Loo at theiptoe't it misinformation misinformation refugees and stuff Yeah and also people who are the worst of people. Yeah and being fed this lies, you know, and sort of It is sort of baiting and sort of, you know, it's sort of Getting people to sort of believe the worst of other people in order to attack them and sort of then create power vacuum for you, you know I mean, doing this with the UN and stuff, has there ever been a moment where Actually something amazing has happened because I mean, it must be so stressful, it must be heartbreaking, but as anything is Is there a moment where you went o And I'm just trying to find some. So many so many so many stories that you hear of people who have got to safety, what they've done, and how they've You know, rescue their families, what they've been through. that has been amazing You know, I was in Egypt and sort of the stories of how people are sort of surviving refugee they're taking people in there, you know, and those stories were amazing. and then there you are with the pyramids and in the background. So Yeah, I mean, I do I think it's really important to step out of our world, our comfort world and sort of see what people are going through in a very real sense. I mean, the other two charities I work for is I work for a refuge. which is domestic abuse charity, you know, sort of violence against women and girls here in the UK and what they're doing, they're building these safe houses. What you forget is that, you know, if you're a particularly after COVID, you know being in a confined space where people we love was bad enough. you know, imagine being in confined space with your abuser You know, suddenly that was ratcheted up and safe spaces for women to escape to But if got if you've got a pet or you've got a teenage son then you can't really get away, you know, So it's creating Domestic spaces for them, safe refuges for people who, you know don't have a ready means to escape. you know, they've got to find different ways to escape. And they're a wonderful charity.
