37.645 - 43.453 Lee Mack

Testing. How are you? Good. I've got an idea.

0

44.092 - 71.517 Unknown

Okay, can I say one thing quickly? I just received my letter from Raylene, my postman. I've read it and I love this so much. Hi, Raylene. I will be emailing you in a bit to say I've received it. Thank you. Hope you will. It's so good. I love this so much. It's really funny because she says she answers loads of questions that I've said on the pod that I don't know what to do. It's amazing.

0

72.998 - 104.89 Unknown

she's like have you thought about doing it's mad i was like oh that's good oh that's good i could do that yes how did this start she got in contact about um the letter she received from ronnie barth which is over there oh yeah And said, would I like it? Because she worried it would go to waste one day. And I said, yes, please. It never mattered. No. But now we write to each other.

0

105.411 - 120.507 Unknown

But she's just come up with the idea. Because one of my letters got lost. So she's come up with the idea. She sent me an email. And we're going to email each other when an email has been sent and when it has been received. And that's all. Because it defeats the point of writing letters.

0

188.907 - 197.855 Lee Mack

I like the questions. Questions are fun. I think Neil Webster's involved. Somewhere along the line.

0

197.975 - 209.392 Unknown

Because he does lots of stuff with... Yeah. The one who fired you from... The one who fired me. I think he said the puppet show. I don't know why he said the puppet show. Where's that come from?

0

210.634 - 216.503 Lee Mack

Don't know. It's probably sometime in the future. What is it?

216.523 - 217.084 Unknown

Spoons?

Chapter 5: How do the hosts feel about the pressure of quipping on a game show?

218.046 - 230.66 Lee Mack

Yeah. Yeah. So I was watching... So I had a moment... I sort of zoned out the game. I was just looking at Lee Mack. I thought, how old's Lee Mack? Fucking hell, of course you went there.

0

232.622 - 233.763 Unknown

Fucking so depressing.

0

234.643 - 235.304 Lee Mack

No, it's not.

0

235.324 - 248.976 Unknown

I was just like... It'll be 84 in 23 years, or however you did that. I remember thinking... Willie? No, I just said what you always say. It'll be in 20 years... Do you know what?

0

248.996 - 251.899 Lee Mack

It'll be 80.

251.919 - 252.079

LAUGHTER

Chapter 6: What are the challenges of hosting a show like The 1% Club?

252.683 - 262.124 Unknown

But that's not what I was thinking. Just to let you know, if David ever finds out your age, he'll be thinking how long it is until you're 80. So just know that.

0

264.466 - 284.086 Lee Mack

Well, no, not if you're 30, it doesn't interest me, but if you're sort of late 40s, early 50s. So I was looking at Lee Matt, I was going, right, he's got his own game show now. It's like, what's that like? Watching, watching, watching.

0

285.347 - 296.215 Unknown

Can I say Lee Matt thing? I looked at an old thing of his where he came and I said, he chatted to us for over two hours. Isn't that lovely?

0

296.536 - 298.138 Lee Mack

Wasn't it split into two parts?

0

298.478 - 302.543 Unknown

Yeah. I'm talking about how it was four minutes.

302.563 - 308.611 Lee Mack

It was so long. It was split into two 55 minutes.

Chapter 7: How do the hosts compare their own humor to that of Lee Mack?

308.631 - 318.284 Unknown

Wasn't that nice of it? Yeah, it was. Yeah, and I believe it was edited down by 14 minutes. No, I mean, he just came on at a whim.

0

318.324 - 352.858 Lee Mack

So I was looking at him going, he's a good stand-up. I remember doing stand-up with him at bradford not the bradford was it the belford the bedford the bedford yeah which is now closed anyway hop skipping a jump to the point i was looking at him imagining being in his shoes And there is a lot of quipping that takes place throughout this show. Wesley, man, it's also game shows.

0

352.978 - 359.72 Lee Mack

I don't know, Quip Central, I guess. Like, if you didn't have the quips, nothing would be happening in that show.

0

359.86 - 363.606 Unknown

Oh, only Lee Mack. Yeah, only Lee Mack could probably do it.

0

363.626 - 368.873 Lee Mack

Not only Lee Mack. And that is what today's episode is all about.

Chapter 8: What insights do the hosts share about the nature of comedy and quipping?

368.893 - 377.005 Unknown

Okay, can I say... Joe Wilkinson, you... No, David... No, David Earl, you are the new host.

0

376.985 - 390.319 Lee Mack

Well, I've got a 1% Club episode lined up and I want to... You know when he talks to the audience... And I have to quip, basically. You go up to the point where he's about to quip. You have me.

0

391.193 - 393.898 Unknown

See it? Yeah, but, you know what this is?

0

393.918 - 401.793 Lee Mack

It's like, there's no way I'm going to be as good as Lee Mack. Oh, well, I watched the first one and I was like, oh, Joe will say something very, very similar here.

0

402.133 - 405.299 Unknown

Well, that's not a compliment to Lee, is it?

405.319 - 408.405 Lee Mack

Well, I think you're, well, you know you're a very good quipper.

408.826 - 411.21

No, I don't.

411.19 - 412.552 Lee Mack
