CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:210:00:26

Hello. OK. Thank you very much.

0:00:280:00:31

Hello. Hello. Hello.

0:00:320:00:35

-LAUGHS

-Stop it!

0:00:360:00:40

Hello and welcome to Good News. So, what's been happening?

0:00:410:00:44

In political news, Nick Clegg threatened to orgasm live on TV.

0:00:440:00:48

Um, over halfway...

0:00:480:00:50

AUDIENCE GROANS

0:00:500:00:52

Is it me, or does Sarah Hewson read like a six-year-old girl?

0:00:520:00:57

If you missed any of the interviews,

0:00:570:01:00

they are all on the Sky News iPad app already.

0:01:000:01:03

Now, here's a question for you.

0:01:030:01:06

Did anyone else see that bloke on Newsnight drawing on his cock?

0:01:060:01:09

It's gone down but more people are drifting away from it.

0:01:090:01:12

BBC Spotlight interviewed the most Bristolian man EVER.

0:01:120:01:18

We was in Dunkirk, and all that, so we had the spirit

0:01:180:01:21

and, y'know, were transported over.

0:01:210:01:23

And, finally, did anyone else see that reporter turn to stone?

0:01:250:01:29

They say Catholic schools leave room for the Holy Ghost.

0:01:290:01:32

Anyway, there is a lot of memories to get out.

0:01:320:01:35

MUSIC: "Tubular Bells" as Exorcist Theme by Mike Oldfield

0:01:350:01:38

VOICES DROWNED OUT BY MUSIC

0:01:380:01:41

APPLAUSE

0:01:440:01:46

So, what's been going on? I tell you what, the weather's been shocking!

0:01:500:01:54

The worst storm in more than 30 years.

0:01:540:01:56

Parts of the UK were battered with more heavy rain...

0:01:560:01:58

Trees blown down...

0:01:580:02:00

Flats on the brink of collapse.

0:02:000:02:02

Whole streets were flooded! Some people cried.

0:02:020:02:05

Others did this.

0:02:080:02:10

Yeah! Flooded!

0:02:100:02:12

Ye-e-e-e-e-e-e-ey!

0:02:130:02:17

Yay! It's a good job it wasn't a fire! Let's have a barbecue!

0:02:170:02:22

Not that Sky were any better.

0:02:250:02:27

Did they focus on the destruction, the heartache? No!

0:02:270:02:30

They showed THIS!

0:02:300:02:32

Our cameraman went out and spotted a little family

0:02:320:02:35

of water voles nestling on a stone bridge.

0:02:350:02:38

-AUDIENCE:

-Aw!

0:02:380:02:39

Don't, "Aw"! "My life is ruined." "Yeah, but look at his face!

0:02:390:02:44

-"He's a water vole."

-GIBBERS

0:02:460:02:51

It's madness!

0:02:510:02:52

If you're going to show animals in the flood,

0:02:520:02:55

SURELY you pick these two!

0:02:550:02:56

If you're doing it, do it properly.

0:02:590:03:01

Mind you, if you think that's bad,

0:03:010:03:03

look what one of them found in the river.

0:03:030:03:05

Do you know who I feel sorry for when it rains? Reporters.

0:03:080:03:11

Do they have them in the studio, nice and warm,

0:03:110:03:15

talking about the weather?

0:03:150:03:17

Oh, no.

0:03:170:03:18

This would normally be one of the busiest streets in York -

0:03:180:03:21

a hive of activity.

0:03:210:03:22

Mind you, it could be worse.

0:03:220:03:24

He could be a journalist in the Philippines.

0:03:240:03:26

Thousand of Filipinos are struggling to get their lives back.

0:03:260:03:29

Now, as you can see, the floodwater has not receded in many areas.

0:03:290:03:32

Now, one of the oddest stories came from Scotland.

0:03:320:03:35

Did you see what happened to the sea in Aberdeen?

0:03:350:03:38

The sea is churning up what appears to be sort of comedy foam.

0:03:380:03:42

Christ, I haven't seen stuff that white and scary since this!

0:03:420:03:46

Be careful, Ben!

0:03:460:03:48

Now, here in Britain, JK Rowling has picked up her pen once more.

0:03:540:03:58

JK Rowling is perhaps the most famous living writer in the world.

0:03:580:04:02

Now, she's opening a new chapter

0:04:020:04:04

in her literary life with her first novel aimed at an adult audience.

0:04:040:04:08

A book for adults?! That's going to freak out the kids, isn't it?

0:04:080:04:12

"Ron moaned as he took Hermione up the Gryffindor.

0:04:120:04:17

"If only she'd worked harder on her Defence against the Dark Arts.

0:04:220:04:25

"Meanwhile, Harry had caught the Snitch.

0:04:300:04:32

"He vowed he would never again sleep with a prostitute."

0:04:320:04:36

Have you seen what it's called?

0:04:430:04:44

The Casual Vacancy is a story set in a small English town.

0:04:440:04:48

The Casual Vacancy?!

0:04:480:04:51

Surely if she's going to write an adult book,

0:04:510:04:53

she should have gone for this.

0:04:530:04:54

There's more.

0:05:020:05:03

Or my personal favourite.

0:05:110:05:12

AS DOBBY: Mr Harry should never have given me a sock!

0:05:230:05:25

And the big sporting story of the week was this.

0:05:300:05:33

Chelsea captain John Terry has been banned for four matches

0:05:330:05:36

and fined £220,000

0:05:360:05:39

for racially abusing the QPR defender Anton Ferdinand.

0:05:390:05:42

Well, that's taught him a lesson, hasn't it(?)

0:05:420:05:44

He racially abused a black footballer and all that happens -

0:05:440:05:47

he gets fined a week's wages and given a two-week holiday.

0:05:470:05:51

What next? Ten minutes on the naughty step?

0:05:510:05:54

It's insane. Imagine that in your work.

0:05:540:05:56

Imagine having a job where you get a holiday if you're racist?

0:05:560:06:01

Boss, I really need Christmas off.

0:06:010:06:03

"I'm sorry, Russ, we just can't spare you." Oh, please.

0:06:030:06:07

Oh, come on.

0:06:070:06:09

Oh, me love you long time.

0:06:090:06:12

"Oh, go on, then. Go on then.

0:06:120:06:16

"Off you go."

0:06:160:06:19

The big health news was all about a show on Channel 4.

0:06:240:06:27

What does ecstasy actually do to the brain?

0:06:270:06:31

Tonight, no politics, no propaganda,

0:06:310:06:34

just the unvarnished scientific truth.

0:06:340:06:37

We show you what happens when a group of volunteers

0:06:370:06:40

is given 83 milligrams of specially prepared ecstasy.

0:06:400:06:44

They give people MDMA live on telly. Some people loved it.

0:06:440:06:49

It's like everything wonderful and good about a person you see.

0:06:490:06:53

Aw!

0:06:530:06:54

Others, not so sure.

0:06:550:06:57

Fisting?! Jesus! No wonder ravers pull faces like this!

0:07:100:07:15

Did you watch the show? The guests were so dull. MPs, priests...

0:07:180:07:23

Surely if you're going to give anyone ecstasy live on telly,

0:07:230:07:26

you pick this guy.

0:07:260:07:27

Wouldn't that be amazing? Imagine him on drugs!

0:07:300:07:32

He's pretty strange when he's sober.

0:07:320:07:34

So I'd certainly say, "Oh, no, turn right. Watch the chickens."

0:07:340:07:37

MIMICS CHICKEN

0:07:370:07:40

TARZAN YELL

0:07:400:07:42

Another thing that was annoying,

0:07:420:07:44

they only showed them when they were high.

0:07:440:07:46

Channel 4 missed a trick. They should have shown THIS the next day.

0:07:460:07:49

SOBBING

0:07:490:07:53

Oh...

0:07:560:07:58

Now, it wasn't just the guests getting high.

0:08:040:08:07

Did you read about Jon Snow?

0:08:070:08:09

Imagine driving on acid. How scary would that be? "Oh....

0:08:130:08:18

"Oh...the world is shrinking.

0:08:190:08:23

"I've just seen a Little Chef."

0:08:240:08:26

So where did Jon Snow's binge take place? Was it in a crack den?

0:08:320:08:36

Was it backstage with Pete Doherty?

0:08:360:08:38

No, I'd argue this is the most middle-class drug story ever!

0:08:380:08:41

They've spiked the flan, man!

0:08:460:08:49

Who's their dealer? Mr Kipling(?)

0:08:510:08:53

Mind you, it could've been worse. Somebody sprinkled vol-au-vents

0:08:550:08:58

with acid and turned this guy into a goat.

0:08:580:09:00

BELLOWS LIKE A GOAT

0:09:030:09:07

Next up... God, I love this story, right?

0:09:110:09:13

You probably knew that George Michael was in a coma this year.

0:09:130:09:16

But I bet you didn't know this.

0:09:160:09:18

Oh, I can't tell you how much I wanted to see that.

0:09:250:09:29

Imagine the moment he came round? "Are you OK, George?"

0:09:290:09:32

-WEST COUNTRY ACCENT:

-"OK?

0:09:320:09:33

"Oi feel great. Lush, you daft bugalug."

0:09:330:09:37

It would have been AMAZING.

0:09:370:09:38

But I think the reason why I love this story so much

0:09:380:09:41

is because of the reaction of the hospital staff.

0:09:410:09:44

WOMAN QUOTES: "My doctors were worried that I had this condition."

0:09:440:09:47

This is incredible, right.

0:09:470:09:48

Look at what the doctors screamed

0:09:480:09:50

when they heard his Bristolian accent.

0:09:500:09:53

"They were saying, 'Oh, my god, he's got brain damage.'"

0:09:530:09:56

He's got brain damage.

0:09:590:10:00

Christ, let's hope this bloke NEVER goes there.

0:10:020:10:04

We was in Dunkirk and all that. We had the spirit...

0:10:040:10:07

Mind you, George's accent is nothing.

0:10:070:10:09

You should've seen the time my nan woke from a coma.

0:10:090:10:12

MONITOR BEEPS

0:10:120:10:15

MALE WEST INDIAN VOICE: Wha' go' on?

0:10:150:10:18

Me a feel better, man.

0:10:180:10:22

Oh, please tell me, I haven't missed the new series of Downton Abbey?

0:10:220:10:29

I taped it.

0:10:290:10:30

Ah, Ras Tafari!

0:10:300:10:34

Some cracking stories about pensioners in the news.

0:10:390:10:41

First up, two sweet old ladies with possibly the dullest hobby ever!

0:10:410:10:46

The Ladies Who Bus, the nickname two women

0:10:460:10:49

have given themselves as they enjoy retirement in their own special way.

0:10:490:10:53

Because Jo and Linda have decided they want to travel

0:10:530:10:57

every London bus route from start to finish.

0:10:570:11:00

They're spending their retirement on London buses! "Oh, look a stabbing."

0:11:000:11:04

"Oh, a teenager getting fingered against a bin." "Whey-hey."

0:11:060:11:10

Maybe I'm being cruel. Maybe they've seen some truly incredible sights.

0:11:110:11:16

They even spotted a peach tree growing in an allotment

0:11:160:11:19

and somewhere where you can buy horse manure.

0:11:190:11:21

Holy SHIT!

0:11:210:11:23

Did you hear that? A peach tree! A peach tree!

0:11:240:11:29

Horse manure(!)

0:11:290:11:30

Mind you, these old ladies might LOVE public transport

0:11:320:11:35

but they've got NOTHING on this guy.

0:11:350:11:37

Oh, right, look at that! A 1953 EA.

0:11:380:11:42

HORN BLARES Oh, my God! Whoo!

0:11:420:11:46

Listen to that horn!

0:11:460:11:48

HORN BLARES

0:11:480:11:49

Oh, my God! Oh, she's beautiful! She is beautiful. Yeah!

0:11:490:11:53

HORN BLARES

0:11:530:11:54

Oh, right! Oh, my. Oh, uh...

0:11:540:11:57

HORN BLARES

0:11:570:11:59

A 302 too!

0:11:590:12:02

Oh, oh, the SNC 52! Oh, my God! Oh, we're going to watch this.

0:12:020:12:08

Oh, this is special.

0:12:080:12:11

That... That is joy.

0:12:110:12:14

From trains to androids.

0:12:150:12:17

Have a look at the latest technology for pensioners.

0:12:170:12:20

-Aw.

-Don't, "Ah!" Poor robots!

-ROBOTIC:

-"Will I work at NASA?"

0:12:260:12:34

"No, you are going to watch Loose Women with me!"

0:12:340:12:38

"Oh...

0:12:390:12:41

"kill me."

0:12:410:12:44

Mind you, on the flip side,

0:12:440:12:45

let's see dickheads attack pensioners now.

0:12:450:12:47

"Give us your purse, old lady." "Robot, fuck 'im up."

0:12:470:12:51

They don't just protect. Look what else they do.

0:12:530:12:55

I would like to see a robot tell a joke. Wouldn't that be great?

0:13:020:13:05

"Knock knock." "Oh, all right. Who's there?"

0:13:050:13:09

"Nobody, you're lonely."

0:13:090:13:12

ROBOTIC CACKLE

0:13:170:13:18

Mind you, I know one old couple who won't need a robot for company.

0:13:210:13:25

Check out this heart-warmer.

0:13:250:13:26

-Aw.

-Exactly. It's lovely, isn't it?

0:13:300:13:32

Although did you see them interviewed?

0:13:320:13:34

Between you and me, I think he's more into her.

0:13:340:13:36

So all those years ago was it love at first sight for Jack

0:13:360:13:40

and Roma Emerton from Leyland?

0:13:400:13:43

When I looked into her eyes that was it.

0:13:430:13:44

No.

0:13:440:13:46

Not for me. So, why wasn't she sure?

0:13:480:13:51

-Why?

-He had ginger hair.

0:13:510:13:53

Vicious wench!

0:13:550:13:57

Don't cheer! Don't cheer!

0:13:580:14:02

He's expressing his undying love and she's like,

0:14:020:14:06

"Oh, he were a bloody Fanta pant.

0:14:060:14:09

"Oh, oh, oh, he were like a vole drowned in Tizer. It were...

0:14:100:14:15

"It were..."

0:14:190:14:20

LAUGHS

0:14:200:14:21

"..It were like a squirrel choking on Wotsit after Wotsit."

0:14:210:14:24

Mind you, if you think she's harsh - check out this lunatic!

0:14:260:14:30

Police say Audrey Dean Miller was arguing with her husband

0:14:300:14:33

and when he threatened to shoot their cat with a pellet gun, well,

0:14:330:14:37

she pulled out something a little bit bigger -

0:14:370:14:39

a 40 calibre semi-automatic handgun - and shot him in the stomach.

0:14:390:14:43

Oh, yes! She shot him. Apparently the cat couldn't believe it.

0:14:430:14:47

I want to know why shoot a cat?

0:14:500:14:52

If you're annoyed with the cat, you don't need a gun!

0:14:520:14:55

All you need is a paddling pool!

0:14:550:14:57

Grrr!

0:14:570:14:58

Big news in the world of politics this week was this.

0:15:030:15:06

Coming to a screen near you - Ed Miliband, the Movie.

0:15:060:15:09

Ed Miliband, the Movie! I've seen a sneak preview.

0:15:090:15:13

You've never seen action like this before!

0:15:240:15:27

Ed Miliband in...

0:15:290:15:30

Still, it's not the film I want to see.

0:15:360:15:39

This is the part of the show I genuinely don't know anything about.

0:15:490:15:52

There'll be a mystery guest who's been in the news.

0:15:520:15:54

I have to figure out who that person is. Please welcome my mystery guest.

0:15:540:15:57

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:570:16:00

-Hello. How are you doing?

-Very well.

0:16:050:16:09

-I'm Russell. Nice to meet you.

-I'm Rachel.

0:16:110:16:13

-Hello. Rachel?

-Yes.

-I'm Frankie.

-Hello, Frankie, nice to meet you.

0:16:130:16:16

Excellent. R-r-r-right! OK.

0:16:160:16:18

You don't appear to have bottoms on.

0:16:180:16:21

And sort of ballet dresses. Is that a bit of ballet going on?

0:16:210:16:25

-Maybe.

-Maybe.

-Something similar.

-Something similar to ballet?

-Yeah.

0:16:250:16:29

Er, and what's that? Is that cocaine? Can we see it?

0:16:290:16:33

-Are you the most hyperactive ballerinas in Europe?

-Yeah.

-Um...

0:16:330:16:36

-Maybe there's something in the other locker.

-What? This locker here?

0:16:360:16:39

-Yeah, maybe try that.

-Jesus, Warwick Davis!

0:16:390:16:41

We've got... What's this caper here?

0:16:430:16:47

Whenever I see stuff like that, I imagine... This is quite rude.

0:16:470:16:50

I imagine this is what happens when a clown ejaculates.

0:16:500:16:52

INDISTINCT COMMENT

0:16:580:17:00

Right. Can I have some other clues other than this?

0:17:000:17:04

-Yeah.

-There's a flag. Are you Olympic athletes?

0:17:040:17:06

-Yes, we are.

-Are you really? Fantastic. Excellent.

0:17:060:17:08

Well, one cheer.

0:17:080:17:10

CHEERING

0:17:100:17:12

Um... Um...

0:17:140:17:15

Um, you weren't the Swedish girls that got it on with Usain Bolt?

0:17:150:17:20

-Er, no, sorry.

-You looked genuinely disappointed.

-Fortunately not, no.

0:17:200:17:24

-You're gymnasts.

-Yes.

-Why have you been in the news specifically?

0:17:240:17:28

Um, because we were the first team

0:17:280:17:30

to get to the Olympics from Great Britain for rhythmic gymnastics.

0:17:300:17:33

Awesome. So there you go.

0:17:330:17:35

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:17:350:17:38

What? What? What? Yes, by all means.

0:17:400:17:41

But one quick question. I just found this in the locker.

0:17:410:17:45

-LAUGHTER

-Explain yourself, ladies.

0:17:450:17:47

-Is this for me?

-No.

0:17:470:17:50

-Why are they...? What are those?

-WOMAN:

-Put them over your jeans!

0:17:500:17:53

-Put them over my jeans?

-They're not ours.

-No? Why are they in there?

0:17:530:17:57

Well, they're there.

0:17:570:17:59

-Can I keep these for my friend Carl?

-Yes.

-Excellent.

0:17:590:18:02

He's a renowned pervert.

0:18:020:18:05

-You'll have these, won't you?

-Yeah.

-Yeah. There you go.

0:18:050:18:08

Look at the camera, say, "I'm a pervert" and you can have them.

0:18:080:18:11

I'm a pervert.

0:18:110:18:13

LAUGHTER

0:18:130:18:15

All right. Um, what smashing blouses, you look wonderful.

0:18:210:18:25

-Thank you.

-Um, this feels like the weirdest speed date ever.

0:18:250:18:29

Tell me about rhythmic gymnastics. What happens?

0:18:290:18:31

Basically most people know about the gymnastics with the flips

0:18:310:18:34

-and the tumbles.

-Yeah.

-We're more artistic.

0:18:340:18:37

We dance with music and we have to be expressive.

0:18:370:18:40

We're actually in a team and we throw the apparatus to each other.

0:18:400:18:43

What was the Olympic Village like? Were lots of shenanigans going on?

0:18:430:18:47

Apparently thousands of condoms are handed out. Is that right?

0:18:470:18:49

-That's correct.

-Yeah. Pretty much.

0:18:490:18:53

Every sport? I'm not sure chess is in the Olympics

0:18:530:18:55

but I can't imagine someone going, "I'll take a couple of these."

0:18:550:18:58

-Are we going to have a go? I'd quite like to have a go.

-Yeah. Yeah.

0:18:580:19:02

-First we'll see a clip of us in action.

-Awesome.

0:19:240:19:27

Um... Um, I found this backstage, thought I'd wear it.

0:19:270:19:32

-At first you need to put the stick in the middle of your hand.

-Yup.

0:19:330:19:37

And then put your finger on the end.

0:19:370:19:39

We're going to do a thing called snakes. So you push it side to side.

0:19:390:19:42

-That's it. That's not bad.

-That's all right, isn't it?

0:19:420:19:45

-Try and go a little bit quicker.

-Quicker? Oh, look at your snakes!

0:19:450:19:48

Hang on, why is mine pink?

0:19:500:19:51

OK, you're quite good. We'll try something harder.

0:19:520:19:55

-We'll have a go with the ball.

-Sweet.

-Can you give me that?

-Yeah.

0:19:550:19:59

Nice.

0:20:000:20:01

OK, so to begin with we're going to put it on the back of our neck.

0:20:020:20:06

-OK.

-Lean forward slightly.

-Yup.

0:20:060:20:07

And roll it down the back and catch behind.

0:20:070:20:10

LAUGHTER

0:20:100:20:11

-Almost. Once more.

-Yup.

0:20:110:20:12

-And roll.

-Right, lovely.

-That's it. Right, you're good at that.

0:20:120:20:16

-Yeah. Yeah.

-So hold it in one hand.

-Yeah.

0:20:160:20:19

Throw it up and catch it in one hand.

0:20:190:20:21

Oh, that's easy.

0:20:230:20:24

-Now you're going to throw it, sit down, catch it in your knees.

-Lovely!

0:20:240:20:28

Oh, I've never wanted to be a ball more in my life! There we go.

0:20:280:20:32

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:20:340:20:36

-OK, so you've got the hang of that.

-Yes.

0:20:410:20:43

-So we're going to try it with music now.

-Lovely!

0:20:430:20:46

-So you're going to follow us.

-Yup.

-But if not, just freestyle.

Some bizarre crime stories in the news.

0:22:040:22:06

First up is a burglar on the loose.

0:22:060:22:09

Residents in these East Orlando apartment complexes

0:22:090:22:11

have their guard up around the clock these days.

0:22:110:22:15

For several weeks,

0:22:150:22:16

a man who resembles this composite sketch has invaded their apartments

0:22:160:22:20

through locked and unlocked doors or windows seeming to want one thing.

0:22:200:22:25

(Shit! What does he want?)

0:22:250:22:29

Good conversation.

0:22:290:22:31

"Hello!"

0:22:310:22:32

He's breaking into their house for a chat. What? Yeah, exactly.

0:22:340:22:38

He's the loneliest criminal in the world.

0:22:380:22:40

-"Hello."

-MIMICS GUN COCKING

0:22:400:22:42

"Would you like to play Scrabble with me?"

0:22:440:22:47

It must've been great when he was arrested.

0:22:480:22:50

"You have the right to remain silent." "Oh..."

0:22:500:22:52

There may be some of you who think,

0:22:550:22:57

"Russell, he still sounds terrifying." He is NOT!

0:22:570:22:59

Listen to what happened when he broke into one woman's house.

0:22:590:23:03

She simply told him to leave and he left.

0:23:030:23:06

"Fuck off!" "OK.

0:23:070:23:08

"Bye."

0:23:100:23:11

-AUDIENCE:

-Aw.

0:23:110:23:15

"All I wanted was a chat but...

"I suppose I'll just go home.

"# All by myself

0:23:210:23:24

"# Don't want to be... #"

0:23:240:23:28

I feel a bit sorry for him. I mean, let's be honest,

0:23:290:23:32

there are definitely worse people to break into your house.

0:23:320:23:36

Have a look at what this guy's been up to.

0:23:360:23:38

Officers say that he would break into homes in his neighbourhood,

0:23:380:23:42

watch porn and then leave.

0:23:420:23:43

Now, THAT is a danger wank.

0:23:450:23:47

He went in and stole nothing. He just watched porn on their laptops.

0:23:490:23:53

He's like some kind of pervert Goldilocks.

0:23:530:23:56

This porn was too soft.

0:23:560:23:58

CHUCKLES

0:23:590:24:01

This porn was too hard but THIS porn was JUST RIGHT!

0:24:010:24:06

It's such a weird hobby, watching porn on other people's computers.

0:24:080:24:11

I bet there were some brilliant arguments before they caught him.

0:24:110:24:14

Someone went, "Good day at work, Geoff?" "Yeah."

0:24:140:24:16

"Oh, yeah, really? According to our internet history,

0:24:160:24:19

"somebody has been watching Muggle Juggle 4 Backdoor Dumbledore!"

0:24:190:24:24

Apparently it wasn't just porn. According to the police,

0:24:270:24:29

he would also swing his penis around in front of the poor family's pets.

0:24:290:24:33

Finally tonight, a story about a little girl called Rachel Beckwith

0:24:440:24:48

0:24:480:24:49

can bring about something positive.

I really wish Rachel could be here today.

Because first of all, Rachel would think that this is probably

the neatest thing she'd ever seen in her entire life.

This man is fantastic. His name is Glenn Wool,

0:27:030:27:05

he's travelled all over the world doing comedy

0:27:050:27:07

and he's nailed pretty much every gig he's done.

0:27:070:27:09

It's a genuine pleasure, so please go wild and crazy,

and welcome the fantastic Mr Glenn Wool!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:27:140:27:18

Hello!

0:27:200:27:22

Russell was correct. My name is Glenn.

0:27:220:27:25

I'm actually Canadian, but I lived in London for ten years.

0:27:250:27:32

And then three years ago

0:27:320:27:34

I was approached by talent scouts from Hollywood

0:27:340:27:37

who went "Oh, man.

0:27:370:27:40

"You've got to come to California. We're going to make you a star!"

0:27:400:27:45

So I said, "Goodbye, England, with your rainy fucking summers!

0:27:450:27:51

"I used you and abused you

0:27:510:27:55

"but I'm off to California to be famous!"

0:27:550:28:02

So I'm back.

0:28:040:28:05

LAUGHTER

0:28:050:28:07

Yeah, it's really hard to be famous. Don't try it.

0:28:070:28:10

Dreams are dead. Romance is dead.

0:28:110:28:16

Humans, we don't know, we can't decide.

0:28:180:28:22

Some of us... Some of us think we should be like swans.

0:28:220:28:26

And mate for life.

0:28:290:28:32

Have you heard that lie?

0:28:320:28:36

Swans mate for life?

0:28:360:28:38

It is not true.

0:28:380:28:40

They fly away as soon as you let them go.

0:28:400:28:42

With a look on their face that suggests they're not coming back.

0:28:490:28:54

Two feet is a lot of neck to shake "no" with.

0:28:560:29:01

They have the physical ability to turn around

0:29:050:29:08

and look at what's happening, but they don't want to.

0:29:080:29:12

Never take bread from a man with a little beard.

0:29:160:29:19

It just makes you sleepy.

0:29:220:29:24

We got our first five swan-fucking jokes out of the way!

0:29:300:29:34

I say I'm back. I'm not legitimately back. I don't have a home.

0:29:360:29:42

-CROWD:

-Aww!

0:29:420:29:43

No, it's cool, man. I feel sorry for you for having one.

0:29:430:29:46

Homes suck.

0:29:490:29:50

Now my only hassles in life are airport security,

0:29:500:29:55

border guards and customs agents,

0:29:550:29:57

which would be a good only problem to have

0:29:570:29:59

if I looked normal, but I don't, I look like this.

0:29:590:30:02

So I'm constantly been fucked with at the borders.

0:30:020:30:06

And that bothers me, because I've been a comedian for 19 years now,

0:30:060:30:09

and it used to be relatively easy to get across borders.

0:30:090:30:13

And then 9/11 happened and it got like really hard,

0:30:130:30:15

especially for people who look like me,

0:30:150:30:17

which I don't understand because I don't remember

0:30:170:30:20

a Lynyrd Skynyrd cover band having anything to do with the actions

0:30:200:30:24

of that horrible day.

0:30:240:30:26

But I'm constantly fucked with at the border.

0:30:260:30:29

And I've got to tell them on the form that I'm a comedian,

0:30:290:30:32

which no border guard ever in the history of time

0:30:320:30:36

has ever been able to deal with maturely.

0:30:360:30:40

It's always like, "Oh, a comedian, har-de-ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

0:30:400:30:46

I once had a border guard

0:30:460:30:47

look me straight in the eye and go, "A comedian?

0:30:470:30:51

"What do your parents think of that?"

0:30:510:30:53

What do my parents think of me?

0:30:550:30:57

What do your parents think of you, you pretend cop?!

0:30:570:31:00

As a comedian I travel the whole damn world making people laugh.

0:31:010:31:07

That's one of the most difficult jobs on the planet!

0:31:070:31:11

I know people who went to Oxford who can't do this job.

0:31:110:31:17

A border guard, however,

0:31:190:31:22

goes to bed every night

0:31:220:31:24

knowing no matter how good they get at their job,

0:31:240:31:28

a dog will always be better.

0:31:280:31:31

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:31:310:31:32

I've had them telling me jokes before. That's creepy.

0:31:400:31:45

When you find out what makes border guards laugh.

0:31:450:31:48

Like I was coming into England, and the border guard's like,

0:31:480:31:52

"You're a comedian, right?"

0:31:520:31:54

"Here's one for you."

0:31:550:31:57

"What is the only good thing

0:31:580:32:03

"about paedophiles?"

0:32:030:32:05

I was like, "I don't know. Sir."

0:32:080:32:14

And he said, "You can be sure when they drive past schools

0:32:140:32:18

"they will always respect the speed limit."

0:32:180:32:21

CROWD GROANS

0:32:210:32:24

And then he followed it up with, "You can use that."

0:32:240:32:30

How the hell would I crowbar that joke into my act?!

0:32:320:32:39

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:32:410:32:44

Yeah. Like I say, I go to America a lot, and I'm Canadian.

0:32:490:32:54

I guess I'm supposed to dislike Americans.

0:32:540:32:57

They're having a big election.

0:32:570:32:59

-Do you care who wins? CROWD:

-No.

-"No!"

0:32:590:33:02

Yeah, cos it will never affect you.

0:33:020:33:04

I'm cheering for Obama, man.

0:33:070:33:09

CHEERS

0:33:090:33:11

Yeah, man. He shot Osama bin Laden.

0:33:110:33:15

Look at you all sitting there like you were getting around to it!

0:33:160:33:20

He shot Osama bin Laden, and that can't have been easy,

0:33:200:33:25

because I thought for sure Pakistan was going to find him first!

0:33:250:33:28

They did everything in their power.

0:33:310:33:34

Up to but not including

0:33:340:33:36

asking around and looking over fences!

0:33:360:33:39

Yeah, man, they shot him right in the eye.

0:33:420:33:44

Good. Eliminate that dickhead. I didn't like him.

0:33:440:33:47

But then the American government did something really strange.

0:33:470:33:51

They just hawked him in the ocean. I was like, what are you, the mafia?

0:33:510:33:56

You can't just shoot a dude and throw him in the ocean,

0:33:560:33:58

and if anybody asks, it's like, "What's that? Osama?

0:33:580:34:01

"No, he's not coming round any more."

0:34:010:34:02

SNIGGERS

0:34:020:34:03

The rest of the world was just perplexed, man.

0:34:060:34:09

"You shot him, you threw him in the ocean,

0:34:090:34:11

"you didn't take any pictures or nothing?"

0:34:110:34:13

They're like, "Oh, no, there's pictures. You just can't see them.

0:34:130:34:17

"Trust us! He's dead! We're the government!

0:34:170:34:20

"Have we ever lied before?"

0:34:200:34:22

We're like, "How come we can't see those pictures?"

0:34:240:34:27

"Oh, they're far too graphic."

0:34:270:34:28

For who?!

0:34:280:34:30

Have you seen video games in the last ten years?

0:34:300:34:34

I think we can probably handle

0:34:340:34:36

a picture of a dude who's been shot in the head.

0:34:360:34:38

We've been watching zombies swallow grenades for a decade.

0:34:380:34:43

Only problem is, it is probably not graphic enough.

0:34:430:34:45

We're far too desensitised. You show us a picture,

0:34:450:34:48

we'd just be like, "Oh, shot in the head? That doesn't kill you.

0:34:480:34:51

"You just press X four times, come right back to life."

0:34:510:34:55

But then I figured out why they won't show us those photos,

0:34:550:34:59

and it's nothing as nefarious as people suggest.

0:34:590:35:01

There is no conspiracy theory.

0:35:010:35:03

The one shows those photographs

0:35:030:35:05

because he was shot by the Navy SEALs.

0:35:050:35:08

Now shooting Osama bin Laden to a Navy SEAL

0:35:080:35:13

is tantamount to winning the Super Bowl ten times in a row.

0:35:130:35:19

OK?

0:35:190:35:20

That long helicopter ride with the corpse

0:35:200:35:23

back to the aircraft carrier, the lads are pretty excited.

0:35:230:35:27

By the time they got a photographer, that body, it had been desecrated.

0:35:270:35:32

You got to think they were Weekend At Bernie-ing him

0:35:330:35:37

around the deck of that ship.

0:35:370:35:39

Like a puppet.

0:35:390:35:40

# Born in the USA... #

0:35:440:35:48

Every picture would just have been Osama on his own, in like,

0:35:480:35:52

a Dolly Parton wig,

0:35:520:35:54

wrapped in the Star Spangled Banner,

0:35:540:35:58

martini glass in his hand,

0:35:580:36:01

lipstick all over his lips,

0:36:010:36:04

"I'm gay" written on his forehead.

0:36:040:36:07

Bunch of Navy SEALs sheepishly standing around

0:36:070:36:11

going "Uh, that's how he was dressed when we found him!"

0:36:110:36:15

But you can't just throw people in the ocean

0:36:170:36:20

just cos you didn't like them! But then the government got all hippy.

0:36:200:36:22

They were like "We had to!"

0:36:220:36:24

"We had to, OK?"

0:36:250:36:27

"We didn't want to say this."

0:36:290:36:31

"But we threw him in the ocean because we didn't..."

0:36:320:36:37

"We didn't want his grave..."

0:36:380:36:40

"..his grave to become a shrine."

0:36:410:36:47

I'm like, "Doesn't that sound like a wonderful way

0:36:480:36:50

"to catch other terrorists?"

0:36:500:36:53

It's pretty hard to cover up what you were doing.

0:36:570:37:00

"This is where he is buried? I didn't know that."

0:37:000:37:02

"No, I bring wreath of flowers with me wherever I go.

0:37:030:37:07

If I could just put down this plastic toy plane

0:37:070:37:09

"and this game of Jenga, I will go home."

0:37:090:37:12

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:37:140:37:16

I hope that didn't come across as insensitive.

0:37:230:37:26

But here's the thing.

0:37:260:37:28

You can be culturally insensitive, when you didn't even mean to be.

0:37:280:37:33

Tell me, was this culturally insensitive?

0:37:330:37:35

I was just in Abu Dhabi in the Middle East doing gigs,

0:37:350:37:39

and they have the world's biggest mosque there,

0:37:390:37:42

and when they say the world's biggest mosque, they are not kidding.

0:37:420:37:47

It's fucking gigantic.

0:37:470:37:50

And I just wasn't ready to see the world's biggest mosque,

0:37:500:37:54

and the lady in the car went "Glenn, look to your left.

0:37:540:37:59

"It's the world's biggest mosque!"

0:37:590:38:01

And I went, "Jesus Christ!"

0:38:010:38:03

Here's the question.

0:38:090:38:11

Is it blasphemy if you say the wrong god?

0:38:110:38:14

See, I didn't think it was blasphemy,

0:38:160:38:18

because as I'm sure some of you know,

0:38:180:38:20

and some of you will be very shocked to find out,

0:38:200:38:23

it probably was blasphemy because Christ is actually in the Qu'ran.

0:38:230:38:29

SILENCE

0:38:290:38:30

I know!

0:38:300:38:32

I was amazed when I found out, too!

0:38:320:38:34

It's like when you see a superhero in a different comic book.

0:38:340:38:37

"What, you guys like a little team now?

0:38:420:38:46

"Who else is coming?!"

0:38:460:38:48

Like, is Buddha going to show up in the Qu'ran

0:38:480:38:51

and it'll be like a Justice League of the spiritual world,

0:38:510:38:53

and they all fight crime together like the Avengers,

0:38:530:38:56

like Buddha's belly-bucking everybody

0:38:560:38:59

and Muhammad is like, "Jesus, do a miracle."

0:38:590:39:02

And Jesus will slide in like the Silver Surfer

0:39:020:39:04

and go, "Whoa, I turned the water into wine, yeah yeah."

0:39:040:39:11

And then all the Muslims and the Qu'ran would be like...

0:39:110:39:15

"Don't DO that!"

0:39:150:39:17

"That's not a miracle!

0:39:210:39:23

"This is the desert, and now we can drink that!"

0:39:230:39:26

"You're not a miracle-worker, you're a nuisance!"

0:39:300:39:33

"You're a nuisance-worker!"

0:39:340:39:36

"Can you turn it back?"

0:39:400:39:42

"Um...no."

0:39:440:39:48

"No, I don't know how to do that part of the trick yet."

0:39:500:39:53

"You know what,

0:39:550:39:56

"I just hope that this isn't the first action

0:39:560:39:58

"that causes a chain of events

0:39:580:40:00

"that makes our two wonderful religions not get along any more!"

0:40:000:40:03

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:40:080:40:10

If I was going to pick on anyone, I'd pick on the Buddhists.

0:40:120:40:16

What are you gonna do?

0:40:160:40:17

# Buddhist, Buddhist, Buddhist

0:40:190:40:21

# Buddhist, Buddhist, Buddhist... #

0:40:210:40:24

"You want me to stop poking you, Buddhist?

0:40:240:40:26

"Stop poking you with my Buddhist poking stick?

0:40:260:40:28

"Do you want me to stop? Do you want me to stop?

0:40:280:40:30

"You're not supposed to want anything."

0:40:300:40:32

I'm talking about all the major religions,

0:40:350:40:37

they all act so persecuted nowadays.

0:40:370:40:39

You see religious leaders of all different backgrounds

0:40:390:40:42

on radio and television going "I don't get it, man.

0:40:420:40:46

"The media...

0:40:460:40:48

"The media is always on our case."

0:40:480:40:51

"And we are merely about peace.

0:40:520:40:55

"And love."

0:40:550:40:58

And for the most part, those books ARE about peace and love.

0:40:580:41:01

Until you get to the part in all of them

0:41:010:41:03

where they teach you how to kill gay people!

0:41:030:41:06

Well, that's not very peaceful or loving, is it?

0:41:060:41:09

They get weird about it, too.

0:41:090:41:10

They're like, "Take them to the city walls and kill them with a rock!"

0:41:100:41:14

Gay people...

0:41:160:41:18

Gay people should be quite flattered

0:41:180:41:20

by the religious people's beliefs of them,

0:41:200:41:22

because the religious believe that God controls everything.

0:41:220:41:25

He makes everything.

0:41:250:41:27

He can fight anything!

0:41:270:41:30

Except his urge to make gay people.

0:41:320:41:34

APPLAUSE

0:41:370:41:39

Is he sitting up in heaven going, "Why am I doing this?"

0:41:450:41:48

"I can't stop myself!

0:41:530:41:56

"I just made some more!

0:41:560:41:59

"I am such a little bitch."

0:41:590:42:02

"I better get some breeders to kill them all."

0:42:030:42:05

Folks, you've been nothing but wonderful. I have been Glenn Wool.

0:42:050:42:10

Thank you!

0:42:100:42:12

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING. And good night.

0:42:120:42:15

-Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Glenn Wool!

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:42:150:42:22

Thank you very much for watching Good News.

0:42:230:42:25

Good night. Good night.
