Right, Godddess Charlie, before we get into today's wake, I need to tell you about something that has absolutely brought me back to life. Fatface's new summer campaign in hot pursuit. Do you remember Maisie Adam revealing the surfing SU R F I NG acronym that fat face shop assistants used to use. I, for one will never forget it. Maisie Adam was sitting just there F from say hello to say goodbye, they've got it all covered and Honestly, with this new collection, I would happily let somebody surf me straight into a changing room. Lovely. All that sunny nostalgia? those good times vibes. Treres a summer holiday chic. Exactly goddess, Charlie, and I've already picked my favourites.

Welcome to It's is You must be wondering which lost soul we've had blown in today little bit like a fart in He's a standu, a writer and arguably the world's most famous blagger He's the man who crashed ex Fact to live shows, showered fIFas set blatter with banknotes, interrupted a Donald Trump press conference with golf balls, and in a moment of pure British chaos Candadida sitting prime Minister her P forty five mid speech Public stus aside, he's a former doctor who swapped hospital wards for comedy clubs. Pving that laughter occasionally is the best medicine British comedy powerhouse of the sharpest variety. He's conquered live at the Apollo in front of his own smashit BBC series, leaving you wondering whether his brilliance is meticulously crafted or simply powered by a mischief engine that never switches off. Having built a career on sneaking into places he really shouldn't be, it's a relief to have him here by invitation for a change. It's the artist formerly known as Lee Nelson, the incredible .

No one's horrible up there. That's true. The nicest society ever Well, it's not thatco right, is it? some humuman nature, someone's going to think, hang on if everyone's lovely and everyone's trusting What if I start lying And then there'll be another set of Purly gates where only the I don't know Oh I like that.

No I mean Well it's all relative, isn't it? It depends what the scale. I don't know where the pearly gates are. let's take the top Is it like the money thing the top one percent. one percent or is it like are they erring on the side of getting you through Because I mean, in the history of human beings I guess I'm not bad, right I'm a bloke So in the past that would have probably meant murder, rape and pillage, just general standard bloke thing for most civilizations throughout history. So I hardly done any of that I'm just a really good guy. So listen, no never yeah, never I've never murdered anyone. N done any of those things. G murder. good pillaging. G Yeah, I' not ex none of the bad stuff. That's good stuff. Look at that. seeee how polite we are. I can't even say the aw wor which is which because it's so dis back in the day, you know, I mean get out there, you Norwegians, get out there do your business. That was encouraged. So I think by standards across time Yeah for elite. But in modern society Bastard. I don't believe that Well I don't believe that, Simon Thank you. I volunteered I was thinking about, you know, what I would say, I volunteered Um when I was at school, wanted to be a doctor, and I volunteered at an old age people's home.

I wanted to be among them. And good results U yeah, a few months of flirting. Cheeky snog. months. Nice. Yeah it was pretty good, pretty. Didn't talk to one old person justust flirted. Great.. that's good. I think you sound like a kind of all round good guy say I think I don't think you're going to have a problem And I say that I don't know. I'm not the big G. so you know In some ways I am the big Edroich. notot the big The big You're the junior G. The junior. notot the OG. Exactly, exactly. Now, important food. I stop Now knowing that it could go either way at the Purlely Gates, I'm not definite in one camp or the other and I am gunning for eternity despite the potential worry about boredom U I was gonna to go for something Healthy something light Nisema salad. Oh really? I'm thinking if Jesus is making the calls here. Yeah. I want to be ripped for Jesus because he does seem like a little bit gay. He's hunky. And you know, if he's making callool one way or the other and he's likeh you were complete and utter shithead of a dad. but Half decent abs through you go, right? And as I go,m as he slaps me bum and goes, getet out of here, Brodkin I listen, I'm all for this. I don't think we've ever had anyone who said they wanted anything light their last supper and I applaud you for that. Thank you. Just a salad swaz. I suppose there's a bit of carb in there, a bit of potatoes. I'd maybe put the dbels in my pocket and once I'm through stopuff them, let things go a little bit. So no pudding I'm not a puddingy guy. Really? Yeah. what's the last pudding you ate? O. Iice cream, Ia ice cream. Okay, what sort Um pre It's simple on the ice cream front. Chocolate, is that? That's fine.

And we're all that're great. not It it's not ice cream tiny ice cream, but the Japanese, all right? So obviously they're all getting imported. Everyone's going to Japan at the moment. haveave you found this? Is that right? Oh Japan all the young uns, my sort kids Bk buy mochis. br bring them back. They probably survive the plastic coating. They probably would My so kids are twenty two, twenty four and a lot of their mates are saving up like Billio, God bless them to ruded to Japan. Japan's having a moment, as they say. Have you done Japan? haveave you been? I haven't I like the food. The Japanese food suits me It u and the toilets, I hear they're great. They extrae But I mean, you don't even touch paper. You don't touch paper, which is amazing. Yeah Will they bloody think of next? I know. do your stand up in Japan U you're going to say in a toilet. Of course I would. I'll do anyway. That's a pleasure going around in this tour that's coming up I dont know we're going to talk about it later, but I'm obviously going all around the UK, but there's dates in Australia, dates in Sweden, I've done Greece and it's Cyprus's pleasure to be to travel I'll do a gig in heaven I can say to Jesus, listen. give you a good deal There's a lot of people in there And I don't want to you know, I know you've got a system, but Jesus, let's know Even Mother Tresers Start uil you wubble and think, let's fuck this place up.

I like knowing that if I were to drop dead, Normally find out about it for weeks until someone That's not strictly true. Okay, my family of course they would would, but if someone lives by themselves in London, you cant avoid. Yeah. Do you think doing a gig in heaven would be a kin? Another word with kin. Yes. I love the word a kin. That's a nice word Do you think it would be akin to doing a cruise ship gig? Well first of all It's going be massive as you. It's going be big.

I hope you're listening or are viewing Astukelely Carefully because it's all about you now, o yeah not Simon, this is an email from Ruby in Little Hampton, lovely, which already sounds like a novel. I know. She was called Ruby in Little Hampton. Yeah. quite seventies. Yeah. I love it One day Ruby wanted to go to the playground note. Okay, I wanted to share a memory that came to mind about my late cousin, Levi.. When we were younger, around ages six and seven, we used to play in my grandmother's shed, pretending it was a castle No internet back then Um where we were princess we were princes and princesses One day we decided to up the stakes and turn it into a dungeon scenario. Oh dear. Just when we thought Ruby, I know It was a nice little girl. I She's going to change it into a dungeon scenario. I the princess will be locked inside awaiting rescue while Levi stayed outside as the would be here. And they say kids don have an imagination fully committing to the bit. I was locked in until things took an unexpected turn when Levi dropped the only ke down the drain. This is sounding now like a genuine kids movie plot. This is is great. Ruby Start writing this up And I would start asking some questions about Levi who happened to be hovering his hand over a drain just when he Okay sorry Ruby, I've accidentally shoved it down this drain. I'm going have to spend the day without you, but you're definitely my best mate. I've locked you in at the first opportunity. What followed was less fairy tale rescue. and more of full blown chaos I was screaming from inside the shed when Levi shouted for help outside. We need some music on this. Well we will sort that out in the edit.k O an hour before I was finally freed. Sary ary we said Scaary you in the shed. Let's She wasn't it she would In an hour in a shed though. an hour is an hour in a shed. An hour is that scary? Why' an hour I'm not sure Levi. nowhere to be seen Lied down hanging out with his other mates down the shops. Yeah, so what happened? My uncle ended up smashing a nearby window Doesn't even sound like it was in the shed. No a nearby car window and stealing the car to call the climbing through and kicking the door open. So it must be the window shed, right? I mean, I'm no expert, but couldn't he have just kicked the door open? Yes. He smashed the window. And smashing a nearby window isn't going to help you in the shed. Maybe he was just expelling some rage. my angry uncles started beating up passerb, right At the time, it was obviously a very stressful situation and let's remind ourselves six and ten U But now it's one of those memories that always makes me laugh when I think of leavever. Have you ever been locked in anywhere, Simon? Uh prison. Prison I called my uncle. He smashed a nearby windows. The nearby prison window my to my solicitor who started writing angry letters. Yeah, so a few police cells after some posts Um, no yeah, no pillaging. Was the was the vibe if you ended up in a cell and If you don't mind talking about this, was the vibe like, o, here he is Broadkinson again. Was it more like that? Yeah as well the first they didn't know I was the beginning pranks and then one of the first ones I did where I ended up in the nick was warming up with the Manchester City team and that was an Everton match and the Liverpool police Fnally they're famous for their sense of humour of the scousers but always seems to leave them at the opportunities that you want it to be there is like So they put me in and they were not happy. they were not happy. and they let me go at four in the morning and the pouring rain Well they knew I couldn't get about to. So that was and then after a while it was like the P forty five oneon Teresa May. Yeah. so where did you end up after that? which in a police cell in Manchester in Manchester There they were like Just before we Put you in the cells. right, we have a selfie that was funny. I can't say that but that was funny Um Yeah, it's great. Yeah. You always know they like you when they loosen your handcuffs. Is that al right for you? so I've got to do that. sorry M, I' got to arrest you. It's the law on that, but I want to make you as comfortable as I can within the parameter of the law. Did they feed you Um well, u They always, you know, The stuff they've got is Wwards Syal Sereious. some good corn flakes. Oh But it is ruined by the fact there's a a shitter in your room. I mean, I loved the cereal. If I was to leave a review four stars for the food, I'm losing one star because the fact there was an open toilet that has its fl. But it's a flushable shitter, isn't it? It's a flushable shit.'s not just a bucket. It's not just a bucket. Okay. I haven't know, that would No lid Easn Europe. No lid. No ruddy lid because Gu, excuse me I think the lid's missing from the toilet And there's no hand towels. Thank you I don't know whether there's a make up my room sign that I can put No one's been for a few hours, the sheets are getting. There's no turnown service. Exactly. Yeah It's pretty grothy. In fact nothing makes you want to be in prison less than being in prison. Yeah I've never I've never been arsted. so I literally the thought of it Yeah it makes me I can't deal with it at I just can't deal with it. It makes me so frightened. Yes. Have you been in since that event Thesa Mayell was the last one. was the last one. Yeah. ye. You're very brave, Broaders brave the way you break the law. No, it's brave though. Well,'s thank you. Well it it's auer it's'soody and that is the biggest right blloody thing. Right. And'm not I'm not hurting anyone. No. Apart from Thesa May's career, I'm not hurting anyone Did she didid she crack even a smile? to throat by the sounds of Inl that. she was coughing the. It was a mark of just how how she had lost her grip on power. peopleeople are like, donon't you feel bad Si for like being a bit mean to us.s like she's the most powerful woman in the country. I'm meant to feel bad for taking the mick out of her. Well I'm punching down now am I? The clown against the leader of the country Um So yeah, that had some I remember another locked it locked in. It actually wasn't me. this is another kid' story. So we were we went back to my house, Mam B Ross Ladeaw U name strong name name strrong name. The only thing that would make it better Roskin. I was thinking of Lade Lwin, but yes. both both R R L that's the ultimate meel name. So And forgotten the keys I think went sweet shop parents were at work and there was a little crack of the window up on the first what is it ground at first Ruby's uncle? Thats yeah exactly. one really could have done with Ruby's uncles's. Not a crack in the window like a smash, like a crack like an actual window open, you know, like, o Oh yeah, yeah yeah flap. you know, the flap. Yes. a it's a bit job Yeah So I don't know how the sequence of events happened, but Ros ended up being the one to climb up so propped up the garage door, he climbed up, I don't know what we I don't know how old we are. I don't know. And you do one of thosetyot You post yourself in. Yes, but it was imagine a rectangular window like thoseose the standard windows, right u with the the flap a flap common hinge at the top Yeah with the top. So he managed to get up there like it's quite high. I mean in hindsight, stupidly high and then he hooked himself up And then he was almost there, like G him Ross Go on, Ross But then he sort of his belly got stuck on the frame and he swung round and head bututted the inside of the window, smashed open. He was there just pivoting with like sort of human seesaw with broken glass. I was like, Okay, u did you leave Did you I love him? Yeah. I was like, Levi, I'm just gonna go out with my mate, Levi U and he was just sort of swinging. Like almost one of those psychatrists. Oh yes. Newton'sadle Newt's Cadle Newt's Cadle. human Newton's crradle. It's like swinging. I was like, oh shit, this is gone badly This is gone badly. So then ran across the road And obviously we should have done this in the first place, but your kids, I was like, they're builders. Wh Well we weren't that level, we were a big ladder level. A B bigig ladder. Should have asked in the first place, but pride comes before a fall. You don't to admit when you're twelve that you've lock yourself out of the house and that your mate' gonna to smash his head and if he tries to climb in So we got climbed that called an ambulance And that's a nice site for your parents to come out to of your kids may pivoting onn a window having had his head smash in one of the windows. your m an ambulance and loads of builders and just panic Does your family still remind you about that?
