Whoever, you know, God sent here to hear us today.
00:01:23.160
Everybody who wants to hear what we're talking about here on the Roseanne Show.
00:01:29.080
And especially animals, the most genius of all beings,
00:01:38.040
They don't need bullshit to feel the joy of life.
00:01:40.720
They're highly more intelligent than the human being.
00:01:59.800
Well, you know, well, you know how I love talking to geniuses.
00:02:06.340
They are rare and far between, especially the women geniuses, far and few between,
00:02:17.100
Well, we got one today, one of the OG women geniuses on the planet,
00:02:21.880
who has paid the price for being a woman genius.
00:02:26.160
And not just a genius, but I, uh, I don't even know how to say it.
00:02:30.600
A, uh, fearless genius standing up for truth and, uh, righteousness, too.
00:02:51.040
We've been, uh, wanting to have you on the podcast for so long.
00:02:55.220
And then we heard you were in town at Laura, Laura, Lara Logan's.
00:03:03.180
I say Laura, or I say Lara, but it's Lara, isn't it?
00:03:16.900
She reminds me of, I don't know, probably this isn't very complimentary,
00:03:22.740
But I, there's a film my husband and son love, and it's Stifler's Mom.
00:03:36.580
Yeah, I did discover her character in that movie.
00:03:39.380
But when she's Stifler's Mom, she just basically oozes sexuality,
00:03:43.720
and young boys are desperate to bang her all the time.
00:03:47.640
And she sort of arrives and falls out of her clothing in a great way
00:03:56.360
And that's what, when she walked, Lara, do we say that each time now?
00:04:01.160
But when she walked around the corner yesterday, I was like,
00:04:16.200
So I spent, like, I was supposed to be talking to her about things she was saying,
00:04:20.300
but my mind did think I would just like to put my head in those and just,
00:04:31.520
no one has ever tried to motorboat me in my life because they're just so small.
00:04:36.520
Mine, I think they didn't try to motorboat me, but I had them.
00:04:40.320
Well, before, because, you know, they would have suffocated.
00:04:46.720
So they probably could safely motorboat me now.
00:04:49.480
But because I don't, you know, because I'm loathe of human touch,
00:04:56.920
But historically it would have been more of a cruise ship situation.
00:05:04.960
And mine would have been like little inflatable rubber dinghy.
00:05:13.920
No, she's just, she just oozes like, I don't know, womanliness.
00:05:20.240
I'm kind of fascinated by it because I don't have any of that.
00:05:30.760
But she just feels like, she just looks like woman.
00:05:37.120
And then you sit down with her and this immaculate intelligence shows up.
00:05:43.700
Understanding depth, knowledge, first-hand stuff.
00:05:49.400
I like that you said you are very, you know, you have a masculine streak.
00:06:01.440
You seem like kind of more like female than me.
00:06:04.000
But people, when they, when, you know, for the longest time, of course, I've been hated
00:06:11.200
But one of the things I get a lot now, even, now that I'm sort of somewhat redeemed for some
00:06:18.400
And I don't actually see it as offensive, because I see it.
00:06:33.260
Although I do say, I mean, I don't know to what depths of depravity we want to go to today.
00:06:45.760
And she said, you know, we would always talk about how we had a masculine side to our riding
00:06:55.780
And well, they say in life that your nose and your ears keeps growing, right?
00:07:00.460
Which means by the time if I survive any longer, I'm going to look like a bloody African elephant,
00:07:06.480
But the other thing is that there's other bits of me that are still growing south.
00:07:13.640
So what I'm just going to say on the trans thing is these days I do have to decide whether
00:07:22.300
What did I say before about my vaginal lips that the...
00:07:27.000
Oh, you say your vaginal lining is the only thing skinny and thin on you.
00:07:34.520
I love that you consulted your son for what you may have said about your vag.
00:07:42.040
And I also said that my growing vaginal lips, they hang in the toilet.
00:07:48.460
I mean, I think we're basically the same person in terms of...
00:07:52.200
And when I read your Wikipedia page, I was astounded because I'm like, this bitch has
00:07:58.800
done even more offensive things than me and lived through it.
00:08:02.620
But I feel like we're the same, as in same age, same everything.
00:08:05.560
Because, yeah, this whole lip situation, mine, so I can't wear a legging now.
00:08:18.860
I don't think we needed your contribution right at that moment.
00:08:46.360
And I don't know what vitamins it needs from the soil, because I would just put them in
00:09:06.280
And it's less like you used to shave your legs, right?
00:09:12.960
And now, you know, once you hit 50, how old are you now?
00:09:17.740
So I feel the same age as you, like legitimately 100%.
00:09:24.960
But like you used to have to shave like back in the day when you made an effort, like...
00:09:30.800
Oh, when you wanted to like have a boyfriend or like maybe try and get married or get someone
00:09:45.540
Which coincidentally, it's sort of taken us on a bit of a tangent.
00:09:51.220
But it's a story I like, which I haven't shared.
00:09:53.380
But how I passed my driving test was exactly that.
00:10:24.400
I, you know, I feel masculine and I think I'm quite...
00:10:44.820
Fringling on the edge of things and sort of being...
00:10:49.500
What's the word where you do the double entendre shit?
00:10:56.240
I've heard from so many people who experience post-COVID vax side effects and the stories
00:11:02.820
One woman told me that after getting the jab and then a booster, she was never the same.
00:11:07.240
She said her whole body felt like it was burning from the inside.
00:11:10.960
Stories like that just show how isolating and scary this can be, which is why I want to
00:11:16.060
tell you about The Wellness Company's Ultimate Spike Detox.
00:11:20.800
Developed by Dr. Peter McCullough, this doctor-formulated blend is designed to help your body clear spike
00:11:26.500
proteins while also supporting your immune system, heart, and brain.
00:11:33.540
It's natokinase to help break down spike protein, bromelain to help support immune health,
00:11:40.460
and turmeric with black pepper to reduce inflammation and repair your cells.
00:11:45.680
If you or someone you love is still suffering, don't wait.

00:12:00.140
Because I'm really like, I'm going in for the trans thing and my labia really long,
00:12:03.920
but I'm not trying to be the, oh, look at me, I'm so feminist, I'm making myself deliberately
00:12:10.400
You know, that kind of funny female, I don't get that at all.
00:12:14.900
There was one bitch at the Edinburgh Fringe and she was bleating on about how she hadn't
00:12:20.940
But like on her bio, it says like female, vegan, gluten-free, lactose intolerant, ADHD-surviving,
00:12:42.300
Oh my God, they tried to get me to come over there for several years and I was like...
00:13:02.660
And this year, so two of the Jewish stand-ups, they had their shows canceled because of course
00:13:09.140
the staff wouldn't feel safe, which is the bullshit excuse for just...
00:13:17.360
And so, but, you know, which is obviously ridiculous in and of itself, but the rest of the comedians
00:13:22.560
up there in the fringe turned their backs so that they would be allowed to continue with
00:13:29.100
And that's why I look at them and go, you call yourself a stand-up, like, you spineless
00:13:35.720
And I mean, they're, you can imagine their jokes because they knew, they probably knew
00:13:42.700
I mean, all those people, like, they go on strike because they hate funny.
00:13:49.060
That's why they always call it alternative comedy, which means it isn't funny.
00:13:54.360
And they just, yeah, they just sit there almost sort of self-congratulating is what it feels
00:14:04.840
I was about to say, let's all sit together and wank each other off.
00:14:08.860
And they come out of their feeling like, oh, that was good.
00:14:13.120
And then we look in from the outside and go, oh my God.
00:14:16.260
And they're like, let's talk about the irony, the irony of us being privileged and speaking
00:14:33.640
The Emmy Awards was a fucking horror from hell.
00:14:39.280
I never watched anything because I mean, they're all like child molesters and.
00:14:45.820
She didn't even watch the one where you won the Emmy.
00:15:20.300
Yeah, and you know you should have done it now.
00:15:26.500
Don't they just hate fucking funny, smart women?
00:15:38.140
So for the longest time, so I was most hated woman in, you know, biggest bitch in Britain.
00:15:44.820
And then there's been this weird in the last five years amongst decent, ordinary people
00:15:50.000
who've had enough that I've had this kind of redemption where I'm allowed to exist.
00:15:54.360
And not only that, they'll come and sell out everything I do, which has just been I'm so
00:15:58.620
bloody lucky to have lived long enough to have that bit.
00:16:02.500
But the being actually hated by everyone and the understanding through people that didn't
00:16:07.300
question it or just went along with it was, yes, she's hated because she's a bitch and
00:16:11.360
she's terrible and you could spit at her in the street.
00:16:17.720
And I was never of the inclination to try and correct the record.
00:16:21.620
I never, some friends would say of friends, but they'd say, we should try and let people
00:16:27.560
If they saw the real you, they'd really like you.
00:16:29.700
And actually, I always thought, well, fuck them.
00:16:31.980
You know, I don't mean it, doesn't mean it did it.
00:16:39.960
You can't walk into a restaurant with your kids because you can't risk that someone will
00:16:44.520
be mean because you don't want your kids to feel hurt by the treatment of you because
00:16:49.000
they know the real you and you're not an asshole.
00:16:54.400
But there was a big part of me that used to just think, no, I'm not going to correct you.
00:17:03.220
And that's where I went to for 10 or so years was sometimes lying on the floor of our house,
00:17:09.080
just not knowing how I was going to get it up, but at least being able to go, or maybe
00:17:13.500
one of my kids would be like, you know who you are.
00:17:26.520
But in a, in a sort of, um, I believe I'm certain of lots of things.
00:17:32.900
I'm not in any way trying to convince anyone else.
00:17:39.740
I know that my end day is already decided for sure.
00:17:45.200
I know that, um, your path in life, I think is already set.
00:17:50.900
Like for me to be here today, I would definitely believe that's supposed to happen.
00:17:55.460
Because how would you be just up the road at the same time as, as, as, how would you cross
00:18:03.160
And I believe the more that you, which I did arrive here without a plan, really, the clearer
00:18:14.040
And sometimes it seems like it might be the wrong path.
00:18:21.920
It might be over forgiving and over permissive.
00:18:25.020
And, uh, many people I'm sure would disagree with much of my life and consider it to be
00:18:29.780
not conservative or Catholic or Christian or whatever the correct thing is at all.
00:18:34.560
But, uh, I know I'm a big believer in all that.
00:18:42.840
You know, I have a track record of being quite unsavory.
00:18:47.360
One of my favorite things you did is to, um, gain and lose 30 pounds just to show obese
00:19:17.600
I'd done something and they were, they were wanting ideas off me in.
00:19:23.440
I, so, so the UK, we have this healthcare system that you just always pay in, right?
00:19:29.380
Everyone pays in all the time, but you never really kind of use it yourself if you take
00:19:34.820
But unless, you know, all things can happen to anyone, of course.
00:19:37.500
But like, so certain people just eat themselves to the size of a market planet, but then have
00:19:51.240
But equally, don't say, oh, I need a new hip because I've got bad hips.
00:19:58.780
Or like, oh, fat, being fat runs in my family, you know?
00:20:07.300
Like, so fat people kind of piss me off because they wouldn't own their shit.
00:20:11.220
I'm so big on owning, you know, I own everything that's ever happened to me.
00:20:18.800
I own all of that because I brought it on myself.
00:20:21.920
So that's really my sort of founding principle is own everything that happens to you because
00:20:28.800
And I went into it, you know, how it goes with production.
00:20:37.780
I'm going to put on half my body weight in three months.
00:20:40.840
I'm going to lose it again just to show that if you did want to do something, you could.
00:20:47.100
And it was commissioned in two weeks, which you'll know never happens.
00:20:52.420
And if I hadn't been filmed, I would have absolutely failed and dropped out because
00:21:05.960
So, yeah, I went from what we would say 10 stone, you know, up to nearly 15 stone.
00:21:14.380
And I had this great idea, like, it was all going to go on my tits.
00:21:18.580
And I started looking at bras and things thinking like, you know, I have a bit of a boob thing.
00:21:26.100
And this massive gunt, this huge gunt that started from here and just went out, down,
00:21:33.840
and then in a round just above my vag, which I lost sight of for that time.
00:21:46.380
You had to get in, you know, five or six big meals.
00:21:50.300
So, you go to bed sick, wake up sick, eat more sick.
00:21:57.080
Yeah, you probably have no idea about any of that at all.
00:22:00.900
I imagine being such a healthy person as yourself.
00:22:04.440
Well, I go up and down, like, it's just too much.
00:22:12.940
I've been smaller, but, yeah, I have the obsession for food, though.
00:22:22.700
But when I get into the hibernation mode, where I don't come out of my room, and it's just
00:22:36.280
With school starting again and schedules filling fast, preparing dinner for the family can feel
00:22:44.160

00:23:54.460
I thought you said just meat, and I was like, that's kind of Texan sexy, but actually you said
00:24:03.180
Yeah, so if you went to the store, like if you were about to go into hibernation like a winter bear,
00:24:24.080
Yeah, cheesy bready with, you know, mayo, a lot of mayo.
00:24:42.760
I've always had the obsession for pork since I was severely punished for eating it as a child by my grandmother who explained to me why Jews can't eat pork.
00:24:53.680
And it resulted in a horrendous obsession for pork.
00:24:58.680
But, yeah, just big sandwiches, big old sandwiches.
00:25:07.900
And is there some kind of like, if you go into that hibernation with that bag of groceries, is there some sort of like, it's actually a little bit comfortable.
00:25:21.800
Going down the rabbit hole on the internet of every freaking thing.
00:25:26.380
You didn't feel that when you did the weight gain?
00:25:38.820
Anytime you've been told to do something or you said you're going to do something, you just do it.
00:25:46.800
This wasn't like, oh, I'll train to do a marathon.
00:25:53.220
This was making myself disgusting and I hated it.
00:25:58.960
And at one point he got a pick, which I really hated him for as well.
00:26:02.580
Because the production company said to him, look, if you can get any private videos of her, that'd be just, you can imagine the content of that.
00:26:10.720
Well, I was on the sofa couch and I had my massive gunt wrapped in some vile festering pajama wear that only fat fucks would ever wear.
00:26:31.900
It's the most fucking disgusting thing you've ever seen in your life.
00:26:35.600
And the self-pitying cow, me, like I look at that now and Mark gave it to them and they put that in.
00:26:49.360
The handbrake on the car will inexplicably go one day and my revenge will be complete.
00:26:57.760
But actually it turned out to be this kind of nice story because actually I got hung out with loads of fat people.
00:27:02.500
It was part of the filming and then actually listening to people who were devastated by the fact they couldn't get off this ride of being huge and hating it.
00:27:13.140
And of course then immediately just the human you goes, shit, you know, it's rough.
00:27:20.640
A prison of your own making that you can't escape.
00:27:25.000
Well, I guess you can escape it, but it's very difficult to do so.
00:27:35.940
So other people, fat people, I would say manipulating other fat people into body positivity, body acceptance.
00:27:44.660
I always found to be a massive manipulation of people who would want to be free from the prison of fatness, but were told by their fat friends, oh no, it's better to stay fat together.
00:27:55.680
And then you see these women, bless their bloody hearts, that have chosen to escape the prison and they get completely ousted and annihilated by the Chambalambas.
00:28:03.480
That's what happened to me when I lost 120 pounds after Jake was born.
00:28:08.260
And I got down to 103 pounds and I wore a size four.
00:28:12.460
And like I told my friend who also had lost 150 pounds, we spoke about it together and he said, well, we expected the men to change towards how they treated us just in public.
00:28:31.060
And that was horrifying to see the difference in how women treated us.
00:28:35.040
Because before when we were fat, we were pretty much invisible.
00:28:38.400
But when we looked, you know, good in the accepted, you know, social thing.
00:28:47.980
Then it was like, I'm going to stab you to death.
00:28:50.960
Yeah, you're a disappointment to the body positive movement.
00:28:58.100
But also to thin women, you were then, you know, a.
00:29:10.980
And I see this with this Manjaro or Wegovia or wherever the hell it's called over here, these jabs.
00:29:17.180
And then thin women slagging off the women using them because, oh, that's it.
00:29:26.540
Yeah, these jabs that can make you lose some weight.
00:29:28.740
And these skinny bitches slagging off women using those jabs because they say, well, you should put the effort in and da, da, da.
00:29:35.740
But, you know, I just think this idea that somehow fat people aren't allowed to be anything other than fat.
00:29:45.720
Skinny people don't like fat people when they decide to try and feel better.
00:29:49.240
It's like, what are you asking from fat people then?
00:30:02.280
May I just get my, may I ask permission to get my little lousy drink?
00:30:19.500
I think she's very talented and all that stuff.
00:30:23.140
But I hate all these fat bitches that started that body positivity because when I started
00:30:31.600
Like, they'd put me on the cover of stuff and go, big fat cow, Roseanne.
00:30:36.040
Like, right there where they did the thing about my show in Mad Magazine.
00:30:39.740
Everything's a fat joke going, she's eating a cow for dinner.
00:30:43.240
Everything about me in all the press was just ridiculous fat jokes.
00:30:56.020
No, you were just a fat woman that could be laughed at.
00:31:01.860
And now, you know, they never thanked me that I was the pioneer that broke through that.
00:31:08.500
No one ever went back and went, oh, actually, you were out there way before we stood here
00:31:14.980
And they go, Lizzo broke down all these burials.
00:31:23.100
And they get some bigger fatters to dance around her, which I mean, a fair play to those.
00:31:26.920
I watch them and I think, Jesus, that's a lot of weight to shift.
00:31:37.740
You know, when Lizzo was proper fat and she would play the flute, it would always make
00:31:41.360
me laugh because the flute would look like a piccolo because she was so fucking big.
00:31:50.460
But then you got fired for like a whole bunch of tweets and, you know, just because you
00:31:55.400
were middle, you were just in the middle with common sense jokes.
00:31:58.940
And what was it like to grow up in England and see everything one way and then slowly
00:32:05.000
see that you were being taken over by a, I mean, it's actually, it was a Muslim mafia,
00:32:14.380
Aided by the left, like the fucking, I'm thinking of those horrible magazines like Jezebel and
00:32:21.240
Politico and all those shit left magazines that really took aim at any woman who was out
00:32:27.320
of line and didn't go, I love that men come in the bathrooms and shove their dicks down
00:32:39.320
So it became, it just, being a female and just speaking the, you know, seeing, speaking
00:32:46.100
as I find it, I'm regardless of size or side or politics or anything, just actually getting
00:32:52.920
to know people and then saying how I felt about the thing or the, that became so problematic.
00:33:00.160
Talking about, talking to ordinary people in tiny towns who would say, oh, we're, we're
00:33:12.160
I don't know anyone on my road now and because they'd speak maybe with a bit of a funny accent
00:33:16.260
or they didn't look like a city person or, you know, they're missing a few teeth or had
00:33:21.060
tattoos or seemed a bit common as a British sense, you know, the class thing in the UK
00:33:29.020
Oh, Katie speaking to the uneducated idiots of England about how they feel, you know, that,
00:33:35.120
that way that the, the California, some blue Newsom loving Californians look down on
00:33:43.780
Well, they hate, they hate the working class that does all the work.
00:33:47.980
They hate the, the people who pull on their boots and work land or work machinery or have
00:33:53.560
skills or actual, you know, stuff in life that when you need help, they're exactly the
00:33:59.520
person you want to come because they're tough and strong and stoic.
00:34:08.320
You know, and so I had to be, and then because I had this kind of, at the point that I was
00:34:15.740
at my biggest media wise, and I had the Daily Mail most read column on the most read online
00:34:21.900
newspaper, the most watched or listened to radio show in the heart of London, it was unthinkable
00:34:28.560
that they would employ me and I, they did, Tucker twice a week, Sean Hannity, I had this
00:34:33.260
huge megaphone to my face and I was saying stuff that was not allowed by everyone who
00:34:41.900
Because you were the, speaking for the common person.
00:34:44.940
Yeah, and so they would, you know, I was in the heart of London doing a radio show and
00:34:48.600
they'd, all their numbers for London were always great because they had people from, which
00:34:53.200
would be like LA, having people from LA talk about LA things.
00:34:56.600
But I had people calling in from all ends of the country because they got what I was saying.
00:35:06.540
So the numbers were so huge, it was difficult to get rid of me, but then eventually the pressure
00:35:11.940
became so great, I was removed from everything.
00:35:17.360
And without even notice or warning, I've always said, you know, if I wrote some crap columns
00:35:25.800
or no one was reading them anymore, or my radio show tanked like it had no listeners, I'd fire
00:35:32.900
I don't want to turn up and do something that I'm not good at.
00:35:36.600
I don't want, I don't want a job because I want a job.
00:35:40.980
But to be fired because you're good at your job.
00:35:50.900
And what's fascinating to me is that when you got in trouble, when you started to cover
00:36:02.300
Yeah, and all of the NGOs that are basically the paid transport system for flesh moving across
00:36:12.100
the planet, providing their cut of cash to heads of churches, heads of state, heads of
00:36:23.520
That's the stats every day and has been for 20, 30 years longer, and they're all in on it.
00:36:31.680
And I mean, how much did that blow your mind, first of all, to find out about it, to discover
00:36:37.700
To discover it, one thing, a bit like me walking into the production offices and saying, you
00:36:44.620
I'm going to put on weight and lose again to show that you can do something about it if
00:36:48.360
But then understanding it at the level of individual women and individual men who, some of whom had
00:36:55.800
butchered themselves to try and escape the prison of fatness and it becoming something
00:37:02.060
The same thing, seeing what was going on, knowing, tracking, seeing, following the intelligence
00:37:07.300
of watching these NGO boats meet their schedule appointment time to pick up their next cargo
00:37:14.140
So from seeing it at a strategic level to actually standing and sweating on the shore and watching
00:37:21.900
those smug, well-funded people working the ferries for flesh and still act pious and then be schlepping
00:37:33.940
bits of schlep, to find a lady, young girl sat on a stripy, horrible chair in the blazing
00:37:42.180
sunshine on a road in southern Italy with this little bit of hopeless makeup smeared.
00:37:49.840
I just, blue smeared here and red sort of put here to look like makeup.
00:37:54.660
And then knowing that she was one of the ones that they would have brought across and stopping,
00:38:00.340
we stopped and the photographer got pictures from a way back and I asked her what she was
00:38:05.940
I mean, it was obvious what she was doing there at the lay-by, but she said, oh, my job's
00:38:15.660
And I asked where she stayed and she said she was in a house and that she would be collected
00:38:19.540
later and I asked her, you know, do you ever think you'll be able to leave this place,
00:38:31.460
So everything about that is, you know, it's scorched into my soul because she was at the
00:38:39.720
point where the only hope she would have is that God had a plan for her.
00:38:48.260
Like, that's the hope, but also just make me rage at these smug idiots that have the
00:38:55.900
power and think that the better people are responsible for her and every single other
00:39:01.260
woman, child, boy, butchered by the people who bring them over for their own pleasure.
00:39:07.900
And then that one-on-one understanding of what's going on, that's why it gives you the strength
00:39:19.940
You know, I hate that the chief rabbi wrote to my editor to have me fired for sticking my
00:39:29.260
I hate that the head of the Catholic churches was involved.
00:39:33.520
I don't want to know that the religious people are into that.
00:39:40.540
I don't want the board of deputies to be aligning with the Muslim council to get me out of my
00:39:46.660
job because it doesn't solve what the actual issue is.
00:39:49.880
And in a world, I much preferred it when I believed religious people were good.
00:39:56.040
I preferred it when I believed the law was the law.
00:39:59.300
I preferred it when democracy meant something in my country.
00:40:06.960
What was it like to see the veil come off, to experience the veil come off and see it for
00:40:25.880
But almost then a picture like, you know, if you were thrown down a well and you'd be
00:40:30.660
at the bottom of the well and it would be really, really, golly, at the bottom, if the well
00:40:36.560
was deep, the bottom of the well, you can imagine being really dark.
00:40:41.980
When I saw those emails coming in from my editor saying, what, what is like, he had
00:40:49.580
Why is the head of everyone everywhere wanting you gone?
00:40:53.580
It felt like being at the bottom of the well because I knew that then I didn't realize we'd
00:40:59.500
be doing this now, but I knew I would never be able to have the opportunity to persuade.
00:41:07.160
I'd never have the opportunity to, for anyone to believe the story because I was so hated
00:41:16.500
And they'd all be celebrating that I'd been let go from my job because they all hated me
00:41:30.100
See, I always thought you were canceled for other things.
00:41:31.920
This is kind of the beginning of your cancellation.
00:41:35.040
Every other thing got thrown in then and stuck and had been sticking.
00:41:39.700
The pin was pulled and I was thrown down the well.
00:41:47.180
But everyone was celebrating, Hopkins out, the downfall of Hopkins, removed from mail.
00:41:53.360
Of course, then two minutes later, the radio show was gone, never booked again,
00:41:57.460
banned from Fox, banned from, I mean, speaking to the originals, but just the jubilation of
00:42:11.080
This is the thin people didn't like it because the fat people, basically everyone who pretended
00:42:15.680
to be an ally before was loving it because there was an opportunity for them.
00:42:20.700
The people who hated me before, it was brilliant.
00:42:26.820
You know, a lovely lady I know who I admire for speaking truth.
00:42:30.960
The day she found out my radio show was also gone, she got on the phone to my radio boss
00:42:38.160
And she told me that, which I have a great deal of respect for her saying that because
00:42:42.140
it's actually the most truthful, it's the person with the sword in your belly telling
00:42:52.040
The first thing she thought to do was to try and get the slot.
00:42:56.440
And that's true of our allies a lot of the time.
00:43:03.980
Well, we saw how they were with you, but most notably with Charlie Kirk's assassination.
00:43:08.460
I mean, they were celebrating on the street with the same people and it's demonic.
00:43:14.260
It is demonic because only demons can do that kind of thing with children and human flesh,
00:43:24.500
And of course, they're religious, of course, because as the old saying, where's the safest
00:43:31.300
place for the devil to hide in church and religion?
00:43:34.380
In church and religion and right next to you, actually.
00:43:37.980
You know, if you're looking for something, very often the hardest place to find it is
00:43:43.820
And for a long time, I've believed that, and this isn't meant to sort of persuade people
00:43:52.000
But I found some of the biggest harms or the greatest grievances you can suffer are typically
00:44:06.400
That's why stabbings are from intimate partners.
00:44:18.220
But I mean, that's their thrill is to see you suffer.
00:44:22.200
To see the moment of recognition that you know you've gone.
00:44:26.900
And I see that a lot with people around and it's why, you know, COVID and lockdowns were
00:44:34.640
so divisive because the people you thought were family or friends, people you'd invited
00:44:40.120
to your weddings or people you had shared the birth of this with, or I don't know what's
00:44:45.340
important to people, but things, people you thought you knew, suddenly you realized you
00:44:52.360
And it was, that was terrifying in some regard because you believed you knew them and then
00:45:02.380
And that's an unusual thing to happen to a human brain or heart.
00:45:16.300
You know, we've lived through that for like, what, since 2001, almost repeatedly.
00:45:23.480
But, but I think not to dwell on the negative of it, what it did, like almost like cutting,
00:45:33.020
What it did, it cut, it cut away a big swathe of us across all of our countries who saw the
00:45:45.240
And we cut, we were cast out, but we almost, we almost enjoyed being cast away because we
00:45:53.260
became a, a very unique community that was now joined by this idea that everyone should
00:46:00.880
Think what the hell they want, be what the hell they want.
00:46:05.980
And we were very lucky, I think, to live into this moment, which I think is where we ended
00:46:10.680
How do you feel about, you know, the whole, the whole, I mean, it was 3 million people
00:46:27.200
It was, it was beyond anything I could have imagined.
00:46:31.960
And so Tommy Robinson's the guy that organized it and he, of anyone, he was tortured, tortured
00:46:43.640
He was told, do not show the documentary or we will put you in jail.
00:46:49.260
And he took the documentary and he put it on massive screens in the middle of Trafalgar
00:46:58.220
You know, to just know the consequence and still do it.
00:47:02.260
People can encourage him and say they've got his back and that they're behind him.
00:47:05.920
But it's a very different thing when it's actually you, as you'll know as well.
00:47:10.460
Like people say, I've got you, we're right behind you.
00:47:16.200
Where you're losing your house and your home, you look around and go, where'd they go?
00:47:23.940
And then when he was put in prison this time for the crime of, oh, whatever else it was,
00:47:28.880
he made a commitment that there would be this rally.
00:47:31.620
And when he was in solitary, I obviously committed that I would be there.
00:47:37.020
And, and then on the day, he kept saying in the weeks before, you know, he said, Katie,
00:47:42.960
everywhere I go, they're saying, see you, see you on Saturday, see you on, see you at
00:47:50.040
I'd be walking by, see it, see it, see in London, see Saturday.
00:47:52.980
And I'd be like, you, this is bigger than anywhere I was.
00:47:59.380
And then on the day, I mean, the numbers would, yeah, on the train I got on miles away,
00:48:07.580
I mean, it's just set my arms off now, but, and so it was glorious.
00:48:11.600
I loved it for Tommy because it was only he could pull those people into one place.
00:48:26.460
And they still got on trains that are expensive and made it there.
00:48:30.260
And then also, there's always this thing, same with Trump, inaugurations, whatever, the
00:48:37.240
But the numbers don't matter because the aerial views showed the streets full of people.
00:48:45.400
So when people get into the numbers, I'm like, I don't care.
00:48:51.560
Whatever they want to like, those streets are not small.
00:48:54.400
And then at a personal level, there was a point where we were trying to get forwards.
00:48:59.420
We had to get through a slightly constricted area.
00:49:02.340
And the crush was A, real and B, frightening because you know that a crowd that keeps its
00:49:09.420
So that, and then the fact that that moment in history coincided with losing Charlie just
00:49:18.400
a few days before meant that it was just such a great moment for, and I speak for no one
00:49:25.460
but myself, but for us to let America know that we saw, that we see, and that we so support
00:49:34.580
our American friends, patriots across the pond, not just Charlie, but it was a moment I felt
00:49:41.340
like for London to say America, you know, Sadiq Khan, which I have a different name for that rhymes
00:50:15.720
You know, everyone, it was almost to me like, you know, the whole thing about, you know,
00:50:21.660
You light, back in the days, you light the fire on the hill as a marker and then it would
00:50:27.560
It was like us, because America has all, has been for so long with Trump coming back
00:50:34.580
You've been the shining beacon on the hill for us.
00:50:37.240
And it was like a little day where we got to go.
00:50:47.400
You know, and that's, it was so, it was just like a biblical level event for me.
00:50:55.080
I don't think we'll ever get over the, the, uh, assassination of Charlie Kirk.
00:51:00.820
I don't think the world will get, I think it's a watershed moment for, not to be cheesy,
00:51:12.400
But my God, you know, can you believe that our leaders have sold us out so completely for,
00:51:25.160
Everything we stand for, all of our values meant nothing to them.
00:51:28.660
Um, it's sort of just, you know, if you, if the word disappointment could be sort of scaled
00:51:36.820
up magnificently and, and then put in large font and then emboldened and underlined, the
00:51:44.880
disappointment of the huge gulf between the brilliance of the ordinary, and I mean ordinary
00:51:53.540
people like us, right, ordinary, the brilliance of the ordinary folk in the street versus those
00:52:19.180
The mad, crazy guy in the street that's washing himself in the fountain.
00:52:23.440
You know, the, the mother that's dealing with 15 children and somehow keeping her shit
00:52:27.860
You know, the guy that's working three jobs, maybe has a mistress as well, but somehow has
00:52:33.500
Like the sheer tenacity of the human spirit to somehow make shit work and try and keep up
00:52:40.480
the illusion that any of us have got our stuff together when really none of us have.
00:52:48.160
And it's why I love being on the road because that's where real life is.
00:52:54.880
I mean, he seems to have taken a traitorous turn against the people of the earth.
00:53:01.680
I can't get over what a traitor he is to, um, the entire West.
00:53:12.980
It's so odd to me, you know, I've invited, to be on his show twice a week, you know,
00:53:17.920
back in the day, that was sort of a thing because it was quite hard to get, right?
00:53:21.620
And you know, the main slot on Tucker twice a week is a big thing.
00:53:24.640
And, and then now he just obviously is going in some other direction that I have no understanding.
00:53:34.120
I saw this thing where Tucker was a, was a registered foreign agent for Qatar.
00:53:42.140
Well, that was to interview the, the Qatari official, to be fair.
00:53:46.220
Because Laura Loomer had that expose, like, Tucker's owned by Qatar.
00:53:49.800
And it was like, they, they paid him to come interview him, which we all know.
00:54:01.080
Um, well, let me just say, can I say something?
00:54:19.600
For them to dig in Tucker, Candace, and those types and make this about donors pressuring
00:54:26.320
Charlie and Israel and just sort of this, they're not saying it outright explicitly.
00:54:31.080
But they're kind of pointing to it when we already know who the shooter is.
00:54:36.260
It's clearly someone that was mind controlled and brainwashed on the universities.
00:54:39.580
I won't even get into who funds the fucking universities.
00:54:43.300
It's the same people that you're, you're accusing of paying Tucker, but it's no surprise
00:54:47.840
to me that Charlie Kirk, who was a proponent of, uh, he was pro Israel is killed on a college
00:54:55.100
campus where certain companies pay in the billions to brainwash these kids.
00:54:59.280
To me, if Tucker or Candace want to point out, Hey, there's, I mean, Charlie, they want
00:55:04.620
to point out there's donors and weird shit happening.
00:55:07.340
Why are we talking about Israel, not Qatar or cutter?
00:55:12.280
There's a link there and I don't even make that link.
00:55:14.260
I'm only doing it now just to say, look, I could make that link and I'm not going to,
00:55:18.720
So you, one day Charlie said, uh, the left is using Islam to slit the throat of the West.
00:55:25.960
The next day he was shot in the throat and, uh, well, here's how it went.
00:55:36.320
He made that statement the next day, Catherine Herridge, a great journalist came out with
00:55:42.680
a, um, video showing how Saudi Arabia was totally involved at 9-1-1.
00:55:52.900
And then the day after that, Charlie got shot in the throat.
00:55:58.060
And, uh, then the day after that, the guy that shot that health executive.
00:56:07.120
They, they dropped the terrorist charges against him.
00:56:15.200
All those things happened in four days and then they all blamed Israel.
00:56:21.400
And to me that's shows it's inorganic and there's something else at play here.
00:56:24.760
And it's terrifying because we know that we, let me just say this.
00:56:28.720
We've been waiting a long time for the world to wake up to how violent the left is.
00:56:35.120
There's no more argument that the violence is coming from your side, Democrats and Candace
00:56:43.000
We've been through election fraud and they choose this time to point the finger at Bibi
00:56:46.840
Netanyahu when we have, we can, this could take us to the midterms and win the next 10
00:56:53.000
Now we have moral fucking authority and they're pissing it away for some weird anti-Israel
00:57:03.120
And I think I have a theory that it's whether they're paid or not, that there's certain people
00:57:07.160
that want MAGA divided by Christian Zionists, pro-West and this whatever the fuck this shit
00:57:15.100
is, this Nazi, let's fucking Chris Long, let's align ourselves with Islam.
00:57:24.380
Just, yeah, I think, you know, for me, it's sort of, sometimes when terrible things happen,
00:57:34.140
So some people try and explain me away by saying that I'm a massive Zionist shill and I'm paid
00:57:42.060
I categorically can assure you I'm not, hence these trousers are about eight years old.
00:57:46.620
But, you know, that's not, I'm not trying to defend myself here, but I would say that
00:57:50.460
in a time of horror, sometimes I think it is appropriate for people to just shut up.
00:57:57.140
And what I probably don't understand is having watched over the decades of Candace and Charlie
00:58:02.520
when they were working together is I would have thought that if you were so close to
00:58:07.820
someone in the way that I observed them for over a decade, your horror at what's gone on
00:58:14.180
would leave you, if not mute, then recognising that the most respectful thing you could do
00:58:21.960
Because I think silence accords some of the most respectful moments there are, which I
00:58:29.120
I've always got a bloody opinion at everything and everyone can say I'm a hypocrite.
00:58:32.520
But silence is a very powerful way of stating respect.
00:58:38.940
And I would much have preferred Candace and Tucker and others, whomever's engaging in this,
00:58:53.800
And stop chasing clicks for your sad little shows.
00:59:05.560
Do you think they're making a power grab for TPUSA?
00:59:09.020
Because the National Socialists, of which they are, really, the National Socialist wing of
00:59:22.960
You know how I was mentioning when I was removed and I was removed from my radio show, a lady
00:59:29.240
I respect rang immediately to try and get my slot.
00:59:32.480
But the jealousy that is accorded to Charlie Kirk, I'll speak about him in the present tense,
00:59:39.760
has always been so strong because he was the obvious next presidential candidate after
00:59:45.840
He had the funding that they were all so jealous of.
00:59:49.160
They were so jealous of his billionaire donors, actually, because they would love to have them
00:59:53.680
themselves, especially with the mess that some of them have currently got themselves into
00:59:57.720
financially, despite marrying very rich husbands.
01:00:02.800
We've got a lot of legal bills that the husband's family will not be too impressed by.
01:00:08.520
The point is that so much jealousy around Charlie, that in the moments of his death, instead of
01:00:16.220
the silence of respect, the jealous see an opportunity.
01:00:20.620
And the opportunists are very often the ones closest, again, to Charlie.
01:00:26.380
There is now a massive power struggle underway for who is going to be the rightful owner of
01:00:34.600
the billions that are sitting in a war chest for Charlie's presidential run.
01:00:49.260
I feel so sorry for the youth that loved Charlie and what he led them to, which was basically
01:01:05.980
And a connection to their own power source, their own God.
01:01:11.480
And they're trying to, yeah, and they're trying to pull them into ideology, which will destroy
01:01:20.920
It was about charging yourself up with goodness.
01:01:23.720
If you know what you're living by rules that you understand by, you know, your commitment
01:01:33.500
And you'll have the power to do good things and to be resilient against difficult things.
01:01:41.020
And that's why, in a way, like, you know, we come from farming stock.
01:01:44.540
So when you scrape, when you scrape the yard, you scrape after the cows have milked or whatever.
01:01:50.060
That's how I kind of see it is I try and just sort of scrape away all of the muck of the
01:01:56.660
people wrestling over who's going to be anointed king.
01:02:00.800
And underneath that is this vast layer of students who love Charlie and still want to
01:02:10.900
This horrible squabbling few of noisy, noisy fools.
01:02:20.800
They get the share of voice, but they don't deserve the share of voice.
01:02:26.160
It's an interesting parallel you're drawing with Tucker and Candace.
01:02:31.640
And the person that tried to take your radio show, that it's a void of power that people
01:02:45.820
They don't have any beliefs in, really, they don't have any belief in the God of goodness.
01:02:59.680
And it's a belief, I think, fomented in the idea that we are all in competition with each
01:03:06.280
other in the sense that they perceive they are as talented or as gifted or if not more
01:03:14.100
Well, look what, he's got all these donors and all this stuff.
01:03:23.620
Not for one moment did they have the kind of introspective ability to go, hmm, maybe
01:03:28.340
he did have qualities of staying power, of doing the same thing over and over every
01:03:36.180
Do you think he really wanted to do that some days when he woke up?
01:03:40.320
And this, they're a perception that it's a competition.
01:03:44.800
And that's why we see all of this segmentation of damn everything.
01:03:49.180
Every movement on our side, every kind of nationalist movement on every country has
01:03:55.600
divided into shattered fragments of what it should be.
01:04:12.940
And then over here, it's the National People's Front.
01:04:21.260
We're federated, but not republic, but federated.
01:04:29.620
That's what communism really does, is faction people.
01:04:33.400
Faction the power of the people into little tiny pieces so they can't get together and
01:04:40.860
Which those marches were like, no, we're not doing that.
01:04:52.900
And the thing that was so lovely that I just loved at this, you know, I love to take things
01:04:58.960
down to the level of individual because there's so much hope and positivity at the level of
01:05:03.060
individual, is that people said to me, oh, you know, we came today.
01:05:10.640
You know, some people are nervous or anxious, have been told it might be frightening or whatever.
01:05:13.760
And they came, they were like, everyone's just been so nice.
01:05:17.160
And that was always true with Trump rallies that I've ever been at.
01:05:20.320
People like to go to them, regardless of really Trump or MAGA or whatever, they'd go
01:05:32.380
You know, they're respectful to law enforcement.
01:05:35.860
It's like, oh, it's really nice hanging out with these people.
01:05:41.280
It was really, for people to turn up at Charlie events, they were really nice.
01:05:45.540
Well, I loved how they would send their best in to battle him.
01:05:50.900
And he would just be kind, rational, and stay in the calm space.
01:05:59.260
And never let him bring, he never let them bring him to the edge of his chair.
01:06:06.160
And never let them enrage him or manipulate him or move him off his center point.
01:06:16.460
And that sent such a great message to the young people, especially young men, because
01:06:27.020
And there's, I watched this little, like, I know you shouldn't go on Instagram and watch
01:06:30.960
animals, because that obviously makes you a sad bastard.
01:06:34.400
But I was watching a hippo earlier, a baby hippo.
01:06:37.960
And the zookeeper was trying to get the baby hippo into its, where it should go.
01:06:41.740
But the hippo didn't want to, because he wanted to be in the water.
01:06:50.320
I just, I just think I, I don't know, I think I definitely want to come back as that.
01:06:54.620
But anyway, the baby hippo is learning how to weight himself so that if she tries to
01:07:00.120
move him, he goes into, like, heavy hippo mode.
01:07:04.920
Even though he's a baby, she can't pick him up.
01:07:07.140
And, like, that's like Charlie, when they would come at him and they would say stuff
01:07:12.260
that if he caught you in the wrong moment, or like, if it caught me and I'm hungry,
01:07:17.220
Like, I will rile for no one, you know, anything, boom.
01:07:20.660
He would go into, like, weighted hippo mode, right?
01:07:25.240
And it wasn't, you couldn't see it, but he was, he would, nothing, you could have just
01:07:29.800
battered him and he would not have gone down, would he?
01:07:34.840
And I actually, I disagree with the people who are doing the obnoxiously simple thing
01:07:42.400
of taking Charlie clips where he's supposed to be a bad guy and then explaining why he's
01:07:53.400
I can't even bear it because you don't have to answer to that crap because he wasn't those
01:07:59.020
So all you have to say is, well, that's a load of crap and I'm not even going to give
01:08:02.960
And why do people, you know, they want the click so they play the bad stuff about Charlie.
01:08:22.280
We, some of us, we need to cling to the negative.
01:08:30.900
We can't, a lot of us don't even know what the positive is.
01:08:37.300
And this indulgence of cretins is something I try through what I do to help people see.
01:08:52.640
But how do you go like a heavy hippo and not indulge cretins?
01:08:57.680
So an example, my first husband, I'm counting them up, I'm on second.
01:09:11.180
But when Damien left me, not only did he just leave me, which, and I stole him from his wife.
01:09:17.900
So let's not, you know, let's not, oh, holier than thou.
01:09:36.960
So I had two children under the age of two on my own with no husband.
01:09:41.460
And I remember a friend from where I worked, she worked with, for me, whatever.
01:09:47.400
I remember her coming around going, oh, how are you doing?
01:09:53.780
And I was reading about Damien and he's, he's, and I went, stop, stop.
01:09:59.860
Because she was about to show me, I don't know, I think he'd gone to Barbados or something, you know.
01:10:05.240
And I'd been deliberately, in order to self-preserve, not looking at anything because I couldn't, I couldn't.
01:10:18.500
Because one of the things people close to you with the knife in their hand do is going, oh, is it, is it, you must be, I'm so sorry, you must be feeling dreadful.
01:10:36.160
And then they want to make themselves feel better by, oh, my life is way better than hers right now.
01:10:42.140
And, and that's one of really the most powerful things I try and say to particularly women is be aware for those people.
01:10:51.620
And it's fine that you hang out with them, but don't fill them up.
01:10:55.260
See the trough that they come with, you know, if there was a bucket here.
01:11:03.540
Tell them, I see what you're trying to do, but I'm not going to fill you up with all of this.
01:11:10.880
They can still be your drinking partner, your work colleague.
01:11:13.240
You don't have to cut everyone out of your life if you don't want to.
01:11:30.500
I'm not going to go on social media and post about you being a cretin.
01:11:38.080
And that's what's good in one way is that we do see.
01:11:46.800
I think it's all about witnessing what people are doing so we can see who they are.
01:11:52.980
And when they tell us we have to see it, we don't, we can't excuse it.
01:12:00.020
You don't have to react to it necessarily in that moment either.
01:12:04.500
You know, there's this saying about, you know, if you wake up.
01:12:22.540
Because if you wait there long enough, the bodies come floating by.
01:12:40.680
That was just such a great, great thing to model for people.
01:12:46.700
I think it's going to be felt for a really long time.
01:12:50.480
I don't even think it's explicable to people yet.
01:12:55.660
Things, I think, things take time to find words and articulate them.
01:12:58.820
And also, I think things come, like, I imagine if you're having thoughts or whatever, come to you in quiet moments.
01:13:06.060
And then suddenly you're impacted by something that you realize that you hadn't realized until that moment.
01:13:14.860
It has to come to you when you have space for it, I think.
01:13:19.620
So, but I still feel this weird, maybe an adrenaline overload from whatever, but there is this weird positivity out of it.
01:13:31.820
I have this huge sense of optimism out of it, with it.
01:13:36.520
I feel like, I'm going to ask you a question after this, but I feel like everything's being exposed for us to see, which this might be the first time in history when we're actually seeing everything being exposed before our eyes
01:14:03.400
and no amount of church or state and no amount of bullshit can keep us from seeing it clearly.
01:14:18.220
And then I also see people arriving now with questions, questioning.
01:14:32.940
So here, I say, in the audience, I say, I see you guys, because I really do.
01:14:42.660
Because we've been lied to and told stuff for so long.
01:14:48.200
They're already, before you even say anything, they're like, I know enough now to know I'm not going to take any shit from you.
01:14:57.280
I'll listen and I'll decide for myself what I'll be doing next.
01:15:02.960
And then I love, I love that we're able to show and demonstrate this loveliness.
01:15:10.960
So, so the rally with this aerial shot, just, just that is a purist kind of demonstration of just support for a something bigger than whatever we've been told.
01:15:23.140
And then at my shows now where my, my, not even my supporters, people will come to the show, sell them out in moments.
01:15:33.080
48 theatres, if they will have the courage to hold a night.
01:15:46.800
It's only a comedy night, it's only a comedy night, for Christ's sake.
01:15:49.680
Then our lot will sell the place out in record time because they're putting power into us.
01:15:56.640
And then the theatre staff, without fail, will say to a lovely Mark usually, well, we were so surprised by the audience.
01:16:06.440
We were so surprised by how lovely the audience were.
01:16:11.220
And Mark will always say, well, thank you very much.
01:16:25.000
Because you were sold that everybody around me, or any of us, whatever, is a, it's going to turn up and be a thug or a moron or a, you know.
01:16:34.760
And I, we don't do that because obviously lovely Mark knows better about how to manage a tour than I do.
01:16:40.420
But it's on you that you were surprised by my audience because I'm not surprised.
01:16:45.600
And I'm not surprised that there's a 92-year-old and an 18-year-old and sturdy lesbians by the hundreds because I love sturdy lesbians.
01:17:02.100
It reminds me when I went to Las Vegas first to headline after I sang the, I butchered the national anthem and everything.
01:17:10.060
And they did a big thing on Vegas and they asked this guy, what's the most surprising thing you've seen in Vegas in your 30-year career?
01:17:19.620
And he said, believe it or not, he said that the audience supports Roseanne Barr.
01:17:32.060
Well, I mean, apart from the fact that you just threw in there when I headlined in Vegas, which was kind of, that was quite a power move.
01:17:41.420
But other than that, the precision of that, that's precisely what I'm living now.
01:17:56.180
No, and even then, after you stand on a stage and say, I'm, you know, at the front of the end of a show, not here for you to agree with me tonight.
01:18:05.580
And at various points tonight, you'll probably be offended.
01:18:08.860
Like we, I suspect, I have never asked to be liked.
01:18:15.700
But what I'm saying is you never asked to be liked.
01:18:18.340
You've always just been out there saying your shit, doing your shit.
01:18:32.040
You want to, we want to provoke people into thought.
01:18:42.340
You're, you're doing your show and you're doing, you're kind of doing an evening with, a salon kind of thing.
01:18:49.760
No, it's, I'm going to, I'm going to be not British and put myself down and be apologetic for myself.
01:19:02.840
I have a warm up guy for 20 minutes who is, I love him.
01:19:08.680
He started on Britain's Got Talent, but he's actually funny.
01:19:14.660
I do a strong 45 second half and people have loved it.
01:19:34.260
And, uh, and we're on every single venue has rebooked for next year.
01:19:38.960
And some of them now are a week long in these theaters in towns where I'm not, I shouldn't be there, but I am.
01:19:47.620
I'm calling my residency like Vegas, like Celine Dion, but more agile.
01:19:54.780
I did, there was some funny shit around Celine Dion, which you and I are not going into right at this minute.
01:20:01.640
But anyway, it's super, it's turned out to be super successful.
01:20:06.100
And I am beyond grateful to everybody who comes because they come in, many of them come alone.
01:20:12.560
They leave feeling better and we have a great time.
01:20:19.120
I, do you know how much I'd love to do it here?
01:20:23.520
And do you know how much I, I want to use my words carefully, but maybe I shouldn't.
01:20:31.020
It pisses me off that no bastard male standup has thought, oh, why don't I get Katie over as my warmup?
01:20:41.360
Like how much, how frigging, I'm not saying I'm anything.
01:20:49.600
But I just mean like freaking hell, boys, boys on the network or the team or the conservative.
01:21:04.220
And I see these like, you shouldn't, bitch, but I'm just going to have one moment where I do.
01:21:08.140
You see these people who are just not fucking funny.
01:21:11.240
Because they're a guy or because they're whatever they, they're, they get these comedy nights and I just think, oh, fuck off.
01:21:30.600
But I get all these people saying, I'd love to come and see you.
01:21:41.260
I think we should start our own thing and I am working on it.
01:21:44.940
A whole woman thing that doesn't have nothing to do with dicks.
01:21:58.780
And I want elevated comedy material and thoughtful, thought provoking stuff.
01:22:06.560
So, um, you know, I am working on it, but then, you know, I.
01:22:19.460
I am putting something together, aren't I, Jake?
01:22:22.400
Lots of exciting announcements coming in there.
01:22:37.500
I want to promote and be part of people seeing how funny women are.
01:22:59.240
So with the tour we just did, it was from April to the end of, uh, nearly the end of
01:23:04.280
August, just every night moving, um, or every couple of nights moving with a van.
01:23:11.060
Doing that next year from April through to August again.
01:23:23.980
I want to, I want to, and I want to, you know, it's obviously it's a different kind of
01:23:27.860
It's a different kind of funny and it's a different kind of audience, which I totally
01:23:30.960
respect, but just, I just love being out amongst ordinary people.
01:23:37.180
And, and also I really believe that the idleness of so many of the big names, and I'm not making
01:23:44.800
this just a boy thing, but the idleness of so many of the big names is that it is obsessed
01:23:55.740
Oh, let's play Charlie's worst clips so that then we can talk about why they're not true.
01:24:05.760
What happened to just finding the funny with a message?
01:24:09.240
You know, and you know, it's all about, uh, the choice between uplifting and degrading.
01:24:20.560
We either uplift humanity and each other, or you're going to degrade and you're degrading
01:24:25.240
when you reuse content and replay, but where's original, fresh written content?
01:24:31.260
Which is the other thing is the absence of clever crafting of what has been put out.
01:24:39.260
So, Candice sitting at her microphone, where's the crafted written funny, which is the actual
01:24:52.280
And then people will say, oh, did you do all that off your cuff?
01:25:06.860
Well, that's because you've, you're a, you have the wisdom of ages to be as funny.
01:25:15.580
Can I ask you one question from an ego standpoint for you?
01:25:36.680
Like, none of you ever, well, you apologize, but you didn't.
01:25:49.880
With your, like a railway track, like grinding into the thing.
01:25:54.500
And amazing to, and I genuinely, to be alive, to, because I always, you know, your time could
01:26:02.640
be up at any time, seizures and things, whatever, but your time can be up.
01:26:06.240
So my time could have been up in amongst the most dreadful of times, the darkest of hours.
01:26:10.920
And I got to be alive till now with this huge redemption that I didn't go and ask for, but I was afforded.
01:26:20.680
And I never have apologized, nor explained, nor will I.
01:26:24.720
People have been, have enabled me to be redeemed whilst understanding that I don't apologize and I don't retract.
01:26:31.860
So suck it up, like it, hate it, whatever, but here we are.
01:26:35.420
And then they came to this moment in time where it turned out they needed broken assed women who have no shame because we won't be shamed because we've done dastardly things, but it's okay because we pretty much want everyone to be all right.
01:26:56.380
I was deported from Australia and banned from four years.
01:27:01.880
And there's something about that tattoo that I really love because there's this front facing woman on a stage with 1500 people who paid to come and have a nice time.
01:27:13.860
And I've got deported on my ass cheek behind me.
01:27:17.260
And it's like, that's the same woman was deported is now able to sell out massive gigs and for us massive.
01:27:30.480
I wake up like, I mean, I also wake up being pissy or with a headache or needing a piss or with my long labia, you know, there's downsides to it all, right?
01:27:39.800
Getting all tied up in your legs and tripping you up.
01:27:49.300
So after my brain surgery and stuff, some of my outer periphery is gone, but my left leg, if I don't look at my left foot, I don't know where it is, right?
01:28:00.780
So this foot here, so obviously I can see, I can touch it.
01:28:03.320
But if I'm not watching it, it fucks off on its own and it does its own thing under tables.
01:28:10.540
I've had guys look at me and then I realized my left foot is up on their nuts or whatever.
01:28:15.780
I'm like, fucking get back here, you cripple spastic.
01:28:22.760
And actually it's the last thing I got hauled into the police station for in the UK just before I got here.
01:28:29.240
I was told I would either be arrested or I had to turn up for interview under caution was because on my Katie's Arms, my pub, where I just, you know, let rip, whatever.
01:28:38.660
I called myself a spaz and I got arrested effectively by British police because that's offensive.
01:28:48.280
Yeah, I'm waiting to find out if I'm going to be charged against the Online Communications Act for calling myself a spaz.
01:29:05.200
I mean, I would love you to be there, but why would you go?
01:29:09.820
I would go, but I'd put a big piece of tape on my mouth so I could never speak.
01:29:20.800
And I just wanted to say, because I nearly got to say, that I think the two of you, like, without being sycophantic, it is beyond unbelievably magical that you two, I don't even know about what your relationship is, but that you do this with each other, that you have this with each other.
01:29:57.840
We've never not gotten along, but we didn't always get along.
01:30:00.520
We didn't get along like that time where I threw you up against the wall and smashed you in the fucking head.
01:30:06.300
Because you wanted to go live with your dad, and I was so pissed.
01:30:14.460
You're not your father's son, so you better fucking get that through your head.
01:30:23.460
He came back to me, and so I've liked him since then.
01:30:39.920
I think it's a very, I have a son who's 16, but I think it's a remarkable mark of a success story for any of your kids to want to be anywhere near, not you, but be anywhere near us.
01:30:54.980
If any of my kids, but particularly my son wants to be anywhere near me, when I'm in such an old bag as you, then I'll know I've done well.
01:31:02.980
Isn't that a saying that the true wealth is that your kids want to hang out with you?
01:31:08.680
And it's something really striking when you have kids, 16, 17, whatever, you look at this, and you go, shit, I know what the answer is.
01:31:18.060
And for your grandchildren to like you is such a blessing, too.
01:31:21.680
So, like I was going to tell about my grandson that told me, I don't know if he'll like this, but Cosmo, you know.
01:31:37.380
He came out, and he goes, you know, Granny, I'm coming out to you today.
01:31:43.620
When he was 19, he goes, I'm coming out to you.
01:31:54.160
And, you know, our family, we always say all the bad words.
01:32:07.840
I'm going to call my brother because he's a faggot, too.
01:32:14.400
So I called my gay brother, and I go, guess what?
01:32:25.880
He goes, I am so thrilled that the faggot gene has stayed alive in our family.
01:32:33.180
I'm so happy that we have a little faggola in our family, and we all celebrated.
01:32:55.260
Jake came out to me as gay, and I go, you're gay?
01:32:59.720
He goes, okay, no, I'm not gay, but I dropped out of college.
01:33:17.100
And I think that's true for so many things is, you know, anytime you feel yourself getting
01:33:25.720
If you look at the smallest thing there is, a thing, whatever, you realize that's the
01:33:38.640
And you're kind of an asshole and, you know, an idiot.
01:33:46.900
And that's what, and that's, you know, I think that's so awesome that you've achieved
01:33:51.860
We can call each other all kinds of things and say all kinds of disparaging things.
01:34:00.560
And that's what's so great about the Western world.
01:34:04.460
And I want to thank you for being on our show today.
01:34:13.780
And we'll, we're, we're working on some kind of a thing to make that happen.
01:34:27.380
Well, now I have to be British, you see, and I have to go, oh, I didn't mean that.
01:34:39.800
But you are a delightful guest and we hope to have you back again.
01:34:43.600
And I honestly, I feel beyond, beyond privileged to have met you.
01:34:52.160
And my favorite thing about you, if I may, apart from your lovely relationship, your family,
01:34:56.260
is that when you laugh, you throw your head back and you cackle like an old witch.
01:35:01.040
And that's the sort of laughter I want people to have.
01:35:39.140
For example, our most recent episode, I talked to a woman who survived a murder attempt by her
01:35:43.800
own son, but just the week before that, we just talked the whole time about Star Trek.
01:35:48.340
We've had other recent episodes about sexting in languages that are not your first language
