This is a Global Player original podcast Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby. Ro ex. I the show. Really eager. Yeah Re eager once again. That's this is the fifth pre record we've done, Matthew. Yeah in a row. in a row. We did three one day and two today. Yeah, it's been a lot. It's been a lot for us. and I know there are people with actual real hard jobs to do, but we've never been those people and we don't understand how it works. No and those I can't stress if those people couldn't do this job. No they couldn't do this. I'm all for saying oh, it's not a really hard job. I mean compared people were actually working hard, but Honestly, Matthew. Yeah The nurse couldn't do this. A nurse couldn't do this. This is a real skill that we occasionally one of us exhibits that skill. Not all the time. Oh Not ever illness, I don't think. Were. I think we both have other jobs where we exhibit skill. Oh yeah. this isn' this's not this one. This is where we get to sort of turn off the skills. A nurseids do this actually. Yeah I bet there's load of nurses that could do that. Yeah, anyone could do that. Yeah yeah. without complaining as well That's true.. Theyd love it. Yeah. Very, very quickly, an email here from Harry who said Hello, Ed, Matthew and Vin McCool Well, it's DJ it's it's DJ John. Its DJ John this week. He consistently called DJ John 's been producerohn last week but this week is Jhn. I went to see Nearly Dan a few weeks ago at the Jazz Cfe becausecause my dad's friend canceled on him And I thought I'd share my notes. I was lukewarm about going in the first place, but when they came out and said, donon't worry, we'll be playing Steeie Dan songs for two hours, I was worried The keyboard player was wearing a bl blue pi hat Which is surely not acceptable. The lead guitarist did something very rock and roll in the second half of the gig. He unbuttoned his plaid shirt and revealed he'd been wearing a plain black t shirt underneath the whole time This is my favourite detail. I thought I saw Matthew at the front, but it was actually a five foot tall middle aged woman Well, that's a haircut. That's the haircut, isn't it? Yeah. I'm gutted to have missed this gig. I love seeing Nearly down. Surprisingly, there were quite a lot of young people mixed in with the Crosbys of the room. All jokes aside, they were actually really good. Matthew might be right. Best of luck in the charts and happy radio lads. D don't mind I do. for do. Harry, you're absolly right, Stely D downanner are a fantastic band and Nearly Dan are a fantastic tribute act. if you get a chance to see them, that's a huge beck wreck from me But now on with the show. Ed Gambeble and Matthew Crosby. Rady Oh, you know what this means? It' E Gambbleer Matthew cross me on radioX It's DJ Ed in the house.

Call us just call us in the studio getting good you ace up or you ece up He No wasy sp Well, we don't know We don't know until until we get the call we We' wait sir we'll wait the. We're not talking about the fancy soap shop. Delicious. We can go and spend eleven quid on a soap Yeah It's expensive, but o my Godd, it's worth it. Do you know the one I like, DJ Ed? the one that exfoliates your hands? You're not expecting it Do you know that stuff? It's a bit gritty Yeah, well if I want if I want grit, I'll go and put my hand in the gutter. You know? Yes I want something soft for my hands, myself But the gutter st The problem with you people if you've never done a bloming day's work in your life you need grit on your soap to make it feel like've you've been doing some manual labor. to soften that is quite the opposite. It's to soften the hands. The little griz No No no, you're trying to rough your hands up so the next time you You hold hands with a woman. Yes. She thinks that you're a bit handy. That's why people use it.'s. Otherwise, if a lady was holding hands with you, she'd think you were a wee ban. That's true. I'm quite small as well. Yeah I also she could look, she could look, but what if notot everyone can see? No, that's the true. I've done sensitivity training here at global. And that's day one. notot everyone can see. Police don't reference everyone being able to see. Not everyone has hands. Not everyone has hands but no soap is going to help that. No, I'm afraid not. If anything, the last you want is exfoliating. No, you don't want to be eroding what you've got Uh like Dover, the cliffs of Dover We've got a guest on the show this week, DJ. Do you do you want to promo him? The Bin man? No, no, we've got Toby Tarron coming off on the show today. Toby Tarron, a good friend of mine, actually.

Are you at you a husk now? Yeah. It's at Gambler and Matthew Crosby and we were joined for the first link, which I believe was the longest link we've ever done on the radio. which was basically it start off with DJ I don't really remember anything I said. I sort of just you're sort of it's a bit like when Derek Aora used to channel the spirits. eyes slip back your eyesort roll back into your head and a different voice comes out at you and then when then you're physically drained. Yeah, yeah yeah after the process after that Yeah. Yeah, yeah Eventually, it's who you're going to become Yes. And' by eventually I mean withithin the next three hours. ye. Yeah, ye. That's who you are. I think you've got the energy to be DJed. Well, listen, we've got a fantastic DJ on the show. We do. We've got Toby Tyran coming up. I wonder how we got him How did we book him Who's his agent? But ye, we've got Toby Tarrant of radioes coming up. I wanted to tell you about what I've been up to recently. Yeah. I don't know if you've noticed you can see me in my short sleeves here, but I I've rejoined the gym. I'm back to the gym now only I think you say I don't know if you notice in my short sleeves while I'm wearing a t shirt 'causeuse's only thing I can notice from that. But can you not see how built I am as a result of going to the gym this way? You're always very well built. You're a lean mean, fighting machine man. Well this is what I found out because I did two inductions at the gym. I did my first one with Greg. We had a great time when Greg showed me around the different levels of the gym, all the different equipment I could use. really, really and he knew everybody as well.. felt it really felt like a community Yeah. So he was going yeah, well done Caroline,re doing a great job over there. knew everybody. I was thinking, I want to be the woman baffled. loc called Caroline Caroline. He doesn't like that But I'm really, really excited for when Gre Walks Bast me and goes Well, done Matth, Gful. you know. And then he said, Oh there's this thing in the middle of the gym called the E Gym. Yeah. And if you want, you can do a separate induction for that. So I booked an induction with Alex to do the E gym. and it was Well you just drop an Ae and go mad. No, no, no, no, no. He did tell me that E stands for electronic So don tell me It's iy like it would for email. Is it What a horrible feeling when you know you read old. Yes Well, EGyM is right, it's brilliant. It's amazing. It' the cuttinged edge of technology, but it is only pensioners who use it. It's me and pensioners. And it's basically it's like eight different bits of equipment and you tap your card on it and it knows you, right? So it conforms to your body and it conforms to the weight level that you're at And and you just, you know, you do little circuits of this this thing and it's and it's me and all the other pensioners, you know, w wiping our equipment down for all this stuff that's pouring off our bodies. But yeah, I love it. But the best thing about the the EGyM think the the the induction was they give you like a body scan beforehand and they tell you what your body's like. Yeah. And Alex said that she hadn't seen a body like it She genuinely did. She said haven' not seen anybodyd's I care She said And did you get any more details from her about that She in a museum. No, She said, Oh freak show. This is the best body I've done. She said that. Best body She said this is the best one I've seen. And everyone else sees in the E gy is Pensioner. Yeah. Yeah. she said, this is the best But I got my biological age. Oh yeah. So they told me my biological age.ose things work I'm choosing to believe they were. Yeah. because apparently I've got a body that is thirty one years old. Well, you're in good neck. I've got a thirty one year old body. Yeah.' an eighty five year old pen it they sc anything get from that She said, good news, your biological pe is age. I've never seen one so young. It'speally newborn Y They did scan. It's like it's actually a bit like when they scan you to go in the airport. you you couldn't do that little pose. Yeah. And they scan you and they're like, Ohh yeah, that's what it looks like. But yeah, yeah, Alex, very impressed with my body. Yeah He was very impressed with my body. She said she'd never seen a body like it. Very impressed with my body is what she was. And she said that she got a great metabolism. She said, even just just walking around And breathing and sleeping. My body is already working. Yeah and And I thought, well why have I got a gym membership? Yeah, he's convcing me out of this. Yeah, This is it? Is I thought, I'm spending fifty pounds on this. I could be saving my money and just go for a nap. Yeah. If I slept all the time, I'd put like Joe work to the bodycoat. You've burn eight thousand calories. Absolutely. ye So anyway, yes, I'm going to be over the next few weeks, you're going to see me get Tonker and Tonker. Right. I'm going to be I'm going to be turning to a vanilla bean. Yeah, could be I'm going to be like a vanilla bean with with a couple of bits of billtong sticking out of it toy trucks for feet G to look absolutely absolutely amazing. Yes, so still to come on the show, we've got the brilliant Toby Tarant. He's going to the Edinburgh Finge Festival 'ause he's standuout comedian now, is. He's a standandu comedian. We've also got some very exciting holiday news. so stick around for that. RadioX. Oh o God, it's bright again. set up this now so bright, the spring like outsight it's annoying. I was wanting to sleep, It should be dark and horrible. It's pouring through the window blimming sunlight. You know what I wish it was, Matthew. What's that It was sunless For fair play to you Edd, you have over the last few weeks picked some absolute horror shows. Yeah, yeah yeah. I've been enjoying it though. Ggusting. I've been enjoying it. Yeah. Yeah It's really honesty. Do you not like this? No. That was an absolute cacophony. What they called suunless? Sunless? No, thank God. Soundless is way I'd like it. Thank you very much. Crunch and crumble. RadioX. Is this a riddle or is this a nightmare? Now, as I promised earlier on, I can tell you I'm going on holiday for the half term in a few weeks time I'm going back to Center Parks. Y Muty, you hated it Listen here. Hear me out, okay? I went a couple of years ago to centre Barks. I' know for them. And it was tough. Yeah. It was grueling It was, I would imagine it's I've never been enlisted in the Amy, but it had a full metal barrack. Well you're in barracks. You are inarrs Yeah, ye, they' chats, they're And your daughter' put soap in her pillase and beat you the night that That's right. She did do that. She did do that.'s you know, everything's a phase and she's grown out of that one. But yeah, it was hard going. But I feel like this time it's going to be really, really good. And it's this positivity that really makes you a total fool, Matthew. I am a total fool. But I just feel like I feel like I've got some unfinished business with Centre Parks, right? From what I could tell about Centre Parks is your kids didn't like it U You didn't like it, yourour wife didn't like it. The food was awful, the drinks were awful the activities didn't go well. Yes. Yeah. That's right, that's right. ye. Well in fact there was no There was no Right at the end of the tunnel when I would even. Ill asleep at the wheel on the drive home and nearly had a car crash. Yes, of course. That was awing. Yeah. So well, let let let's revisit that becausecause I thought just to remind me, obviously it's books now. Yeah. We're going But I remembered I had to talk that is not necessarily true with your h. No, no, that's true. We booked it The money is gone, let's say that much the money. The money' definitelyone. You've wasted your money, Yeah. The money' gone. But I remembered that I had talked about it last time. I had come back from Centre Parks and talked all about it. So I asked producer John Would you make us a little sort of little compilation? Compilation, a little supercut of some of the things I talked about. I've not heard this. So let's have a listen to what I said last time about Centre Parks. You know how when you come back from a holiday and you're just knackered and you want to die? Our holiday were two young children. It was hectic is the word we'd been using. We went to Centre parks for four days. A you' trapped You're a big prison, yeah? Designed for kids. Crowded in with a load of strangers with a giant contact l L like the Stanford prrison experiment, it was grueling. Red and yellow and pinkish You can see her Wow. Well done John That was amazing, John. Thank you so much. I'd forgotten about that detail. Yeah. The detail being that my daughter wouldn't fall asleep unless she heard the song I I can sing a Rainbow. and I didn't have Wiifi or internet connection so I couldn't play off of my phone. So I had to lie on my bed in the darkness. Wifi. Yeah, I don't think have wiifi, so couldt I couldn't play it. Why don'ty in the contact? I don't know. I guess because then people could say please help me. Snd messages so they can do the review while they Exactly I' cont trip advisor. So yeah, so I had to lay in the darkness I just sing that. Why whyy going again, Matthew? Because I think I said this last time, I feel like there is a good holiday in there that we just did not for you. No, I think there is I genuinely think there is. will I will be back you know, I'll be back in a couple of weeks in a farmhouse Not with kids. I can't you can't go with kids. No, exactly, exxactly. That's what I mean. Yeahah, but listen,'ve I went to Babbington House before I went to Soho fararm House. I had a lovely times. That was all pre kids. Yeah. It was all pre kids. The holidays when you have kids now very, very different. can't go you can't be going to Soho fararmhouse and just, you know sitting in a bathtub that's also outside and you know in drinking yourself into stupper. That was very You know, that was that was PK three kids. It was a different life. that that man used to do that He's dead. He dies He might he he might come back when he comes a grandparents. You B a laugh is dead B been a lot that ship sailed seven years ago Around the time I started doing the show and had kids. Yeah, I stopped being a laugh. That's what happened. Yeah.

I think John's got a clip of that happening actually should you ever listen?, amazing You said so you're never going back and I was like, No, even as it was happening, I was like, we're gonna do this again. Why? Because Center parks can't win This is it. So I'm going back to do Battle with Centbox and I'm going to be back next weekend and I'm going to tell you I had a fantastic holiday No, you're not Centerpox will win Center parks won't w Center parks like a casino. the house always wins. which they probably don't have as centerparks becauseuse it's not a laugh.

It's like two hours worth of sand in there You're going to be doing some talking very, very soon. Nice soon. Thanks, man. You're going be doing some talking up at the Edinburgh Finge Festival. Yes. with your new standup show You're a stand up. Well, I mean, I feel a bit embarrassed in front of you two saying that. No, come on. Because at the time of recording, I've done six shows. Yes. You two have probably got a few more on me than that. A couple more. I mean you've probably done six shows in like Norwich alone Oh, more than that in Nor Yeah. Yeah. I've done countless in Norwich. Great place to do comedy. Yeah Rich. Oh, Norwich is one of the best places to do gigs genuinely. Weirdly I put thing up on Instagram saying, where would you like me to take this show? And Norwich came up I didn't know I'm huge in Norwich. Yeah but Norwich has a real community of comedy lovers always fun shows like Norwich, Bristol, Brighton, there's some incredible places. They all came up a lot those on. Yeah. Norwich Art Center is great. Playhouse is great ye You have a great time there. Well Iour of Norwich. Yeah. Well, I haven't currently got the capacity to fill any of those venues. but I will be filling the Gilded saloon at Edinburgh Fringe this summer. Yes. Yes. That's the saloon in the balloon Y saloon in the balloon. It's the new Gilded balloon venue, the Gilded saloon and I'm in U not the nice room upstairs. So yes, I'll be there. five PM august seventh to sixteenth at Edinburgh Fringe and I'm really, really genuinely excited about it and nervous about it. but I haven't been nervous about anything in a long time. so it's nice nerves. Outside the comfort zone. That's exciting. Yeah, Well, because I've been doing the radio thing for ten years. in the first six months I was absolutely bricking it. Yeah. But now I don't know if you heard the show. I really dial it I'm actually nervous for you because will you fit in a basement? 'ause you're absolutely massive, aren't you? You know, It's funny you say that, because I got sent this is a word that they only use on the TV show twenty four. I got sent the schematics of your room. Yeah. Because Jack Bau used to always ask Chloe for the schematicics then you buildics Yeah. Yeah And that take an hour. Yeah Conveniently, you'd always send them at seven hundred fifty nine. So you'd have to wait tntil next time to find out if he got the schematics for the building. But I noticice it doesn't say height So I am worried because I did look at some photos. there is a big ventacross. you know you're doing in a good room and there's a big ventac cross. Yeah yeah. Is that un. Yeah, yeah. And I am worried that it's going to be sort of people looking at my neck and below whilst Well, you might have to stand like you've just stood up on a plane Yeah. with your head sort of pressed up Yeah like that. Yeah, yeah yeah. or when you have to squeeze into the tube at the last minute and the doors will decapitate you slightly. Yeah Yeah yeah. Yeah ye ye I know all about that. We talked about that many, many times But Matthew's got his head stuck in the doors and his glasses popped off. Right. It's another week. we're telling that story. More from Toby Tarant after this. Radio Ed Gambeble and Matthew Cororsby. Jimmy Hendri. He'sill out Jimmy, you know what I mean? He's really going for it. Yeah. No wonder he died at twenty seven. Yeah He absolutely wore himself out, didn't he? he died of exhaustion. We're still joined by the brilliant Toby Tarant. Now Toby is going to be up at the Edinurgh Finge Festival at the Gilded Saloon. Are you doing the whole month? I would love to, but I have the small matter of covering the Chris Moyle S showow for two weeks in August. So I'm going to be doing my radio show live from Glasgow and then running back and forth between Glasgow anddinburgh. Yeah, you're crazy. I mean, at least you're not doing the whole month. No for that purpose because that be that would be insane. I would say it's good. So you're doing two weeks at the French I'm doing yes ten days ten days seventhot the sixteh. perfect. That's a lot of people are saying. your first Edinburgh? I think deal. Be I really want to do hing and actually everyone've spoken to 's now gone no no, trust me, you're doing the right thing. Especially like you've done six shows.. You're straight to the fringe, I think ten days is absolutely fine. I think absolutely fine. Yeahah, but I'm looking forward to it. Digres here, but digres here. People that That's a famous Toby Tarrant Digres. Yeah I shouldn't think you'd be doing this. I't ne you for your show. We are honored. I know I'm going to be plugging my show U peopleeople that died at twenty seven. Oh yeah. Kirk Bane's twenty seven Club. Absolutely right.. And which Nevana song is it where he repeatated it at the end goes? And I don't have a gun. Yeah, yeah, that's onene of them. I don't see Mth, you should know you wrote Nevana in the sand on a beach once when you were teen? No go. It' come as you are. Come as you are. I always think the signs were there then that he did have a gun and the thought that someone should have stepped in. Oh I see why you're doing this digression R show ye. ye ye. Oh, it's a bit racey for mine, But it's Sunday morning Control your guest people. Anyway, so Edinurgh Fringe I'm going I'm really, really, really excited about it and it is a real Turn your brain off hour, Id say. In fact, for the audience or for you. for everyone involved. Right. You will have to keep the old brain on, I think. I don't know. againain, I might digress. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Well, digress is fine, but I find to digress, you actually have to keep your brain on. Yeah, that's true. then you have to get back. you have to redigress. Yeah Yeah, that's very, very true. and I just worry I'll just digress Yeah, yeah. No so you guys obviously know the fringe very, very well and there's so many incredibly talented, brilliant people going up there And when I spoke to few people planning it, they kept going, like, what's the theme of your show? Because there's a lot of people up there. don't worry about it. Well, this is it. Because there are a lot of people do an hour on, you know, when their goldfish died or whatever it is. And they do these amazing intelligence shows where it all links back at the end and it's this amazing journey we've been on. Mine is the polar opposite of that. Mine is very much an hour of me tellelling some stupid stories, attempting to crack some jokes and I've promised there'll be no politics, current affairs, or anything remotely important or useful whatsoever. L you will leave stupid of than you arrived. I think there's a gap in the market for that. Yeah. think I think the fringe is about all of these different things, isn't it? can't People can't go watch five shows a day with a heavy theme. No, no, no, no, no. You want some idiocy. Yeah and that's what you're there to provide Hello That's where I st. And if you want to, right? this is a little pro tip Yeah. J say anything that you mentioned earlier in the show and people think it's a clever ending. really. Yeah, if you get to the end of the show and you think' like fifty, fifty five minutes Yeah A word or a phrase or that was a bit like this that you've mentioned at sort of minute thirty five and people go, wow. Yeah. well crafted hour.. laboud callbacks isn' the only way to get off stage. And I need to write this down. And even better at the fringe especially, the laboud callback and then an instant blackout. Oh. And then you don't even need to say goodnight because thank you very much, thanks for coming There's no dignity in that. walk out and run off stage as quickly as possible. I don' think I've even got the budget for a guy to do the light. Walking to the back of the room and flicking the lights of yourself. somethingomething a bit deconstructed about it. I like it. Filling for time as I walk to the lights the back of the room and attempt a bad callback. And it's a bit like earlier on when I mentioned l the light lights down. Yeah. And it doesn't go fully black because again, there's no budget for like a just be they could slightly see me less than they could before. Yeah. The vent is still gleaming away in the corner. You can still see the vents. Yeah. Yeah yourour head scraping across the ceiling. Anyway, this is my first time really selling a show. didid that work? How do you reck thats? We'll see?,, let's check the ticket sales at fringe d. comot The blueberry and the cake skin Radio X Mashmouth, all star.lay that on the radio. It'such a good song, I know. It's so fantastic. It's mad, don't it? Yeah. Brilliantly mad. Wonderfully, delightfully mad. Sorry, Hello Toby Tarant too. Yeah. sorry Toby Tr ss to the studio. Gam Cross. Where like Trump got elected? No did digag. D digash? Another digash.'t Stop using our show to get your real opinions up, something think I don't know if we got elected. wasasn't it brilliant?. Finally, I can say it. Utter bloke nonsense is at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Toby, you're going to be up there for ten days doing your brand new show. Now have you done any of is this your first bit of promo for the show? No I've plugged I've basically plugged it on RadioX and RadioX so againain, thank you for having me. Yeah yeah. Well there's many other stations under the RadioX banner. Yes. so you need to get yourself onto Classic Rock Chill Chilled R back Oasis. Yes, ye. Bring that back just so I can promote this. at this stage, I'll do anything to sell a ticket. Well, will you answer the three biggest questions in prromo, the big three. three Thank you Kima. First question Toby Terin,es Could you please tell us what's the worst heckle you've never had O I tackle you've never had. Which is which is most of them, really? Yeah You've only done six shows.. Have you been heckled yet, by the way? A Little bit, but not enough. I sort of need to just get abused by a crowd, I think before I go to Edinburgh just get out of the way. Yeah. Just pull that plaster off. I think really won it probably won't happen in Edinburgh. 'use what time are you on? Five PM? Yeah, it's probably not gonna happen in Edinburgh And there will be shows where You know, there will be shows that feel a little quiet. Yes because you're doing ten shows. Yes. So they can't all be R roaring bangers. Yeah and you will be raying that someone shouts something out at. Yeah. I need to plant someone in the crowd who just hurls at you. Someone who knows me, like one of my oldest friends who knows the stuff that will actually hurt. Yeah yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If your show, take Tarn, if your show was a radioXDJ, which radioXDJ would it be? And why? and you can't pick yourself It's probably A less informed Johnny Vugh. Less informed Johny Vu. Yeah, yeah. It's like, becausecause Johnny Vugh, I've done pointless celebrities of him, which is basically cheating. Yeah. I might as well have had Techwin Whitook he is a walking and cyclist. He really is yeet. So it's sort of yeah. So imagine if he hit his head. Exactly that's your show. Yeahah. Johnny Vaugh and let's hope this doesn't happen, but if he did hit his head and you know, his brain sort of became sort of soup, then that would be my show.. John Vugh's character from the Citcom Horrible Yes, perfect. ye. perfect. ye. If you'd like to see an hour of that, yeah, I'm your man Finally in the big three, Yes Thank you Kima, Thank you Kima. Could you describe your show to us in seventeen words and a noise Seventeen words and a noise R It rare people to count in advance and I'll be honest, it' even rare for a professional DJ to give all that silence I don't want to waste my word Oh no sixixteen Tickets Oh tickets couldouldn't follow that for my.
