You know, 500 quid a day on these oil rigs. It was a big thing. It was a big thing in the paper. I remember the teacher doing a thing to the class saying, OK, kids, what would you do with the money if you could earn 500 pounds a day? And it went round and the kids were saying, I'd buy my mum a house, I'd buy a car, I'd buy a horse. And it came to me and I said, I'd work one day a week.

And I remember just thinking, that would be amazing because I could have the other six days.

And man. But it's not scary. It's the thing that you do it. I think driving a car is scary because I can't do it. But when you realize that you've got that safety net for the first, you go out there and you try stuff out. And if it's not working, you don't put the tickets on sale. Right. I've done 50 gigs before I sell out a real gig and I know what it's going to be like.

It's going to be the same as the, you know, I mean, the scary thing is, you know, recently the scary thing is, uh, you know, this council thing being canceled. If you say the wrong thing and suddenly, you know, Netflix can take you off their platform or, you know, um, So that's the scary thing.

Well, you can't. You can't because you don't know. You could be the most woke, politically correct stand-up in the world at the moment, but you don't know what it's going to be like in 10 years' time. You can get cancelled for things you said 10 years ago because you don't know what it's going to be like in 10 years' time.

The thing is about this, I think the misunderstanding about cancel culture is, you know, some people think that you should be able to say anything you want without consequences. And that's not true because we're members of society and people are allowed to criticize you. They're allowed to not buy your things. They're allowed to burn your DVDs and they're allowed to turn the telly off.

What they're not allowed to do is to bully other people into not going to see you. Or there's some people that are doctors, who are great doctors. They're getting fired from a hospital because of a bad joke they made on Twitter. And I go, well, that's not relevant to what they do. Right. I don't think what's being cancelled. It's having no platform, isn't it? And what can they do to me?
