What most impulse. Hello and welcome to episode

what most people think. And between promoting the documentary and touring relentlessly, I've battered my

immune system to the point where it's sort of like a sommelier now that just offers up various

symptoms on any given day. It sort of says, well, what do you fancy a day, sir? Do you fancy some

sinusitis or earache? I think I'll have the sinus problems. Because I think the immune system

is a bit like a neglected wife, is it just keeps score.

You know, you can keep working and keep taking the piss, but there she is.

Just go, oh, right, working on a Sunday again.

Well, I'll see about that.

And a man who will know about wife metaphors and touring is my co-host today returning to the show is Mark Nelson.

It's great to have you back

mate thank you man thank you aye that's a proper nightmare touring is i never realized it

would take this amount of toll on your body yes well you're out now what's the deal with you

like do you have a particular thing that tells you that you'll run down do you get like a weird

sort of hives on your neck like that geese a wuggy and there's something about Mary?

Which you know, I've sat in this is really, really worrying. I've started throwing up before every gig now. I mean, that's genuinely bleak. It's not healthy at all. Like, it happened. It's not happened during the fringe last year. And it's never happened to me before before and then the last four nights before I've

gone on I've been like hacking up and like who like proper like and because I don't really like

eating before the gig because you get too kind of fool there's nothing in there so it's just

literally me dry heaving in a toilet before I go out. This is 241 episodes in.

I think that we've come across the bleakest image. It's something beautifully, there I say, Scottish sort of train spottingish about that, really, is the image of you. Because everyone will know that the kind of venues that you or I do, they're not the most salubrious. No. So there you are in a toilet there's got no wallpaper on it. It's all scratched. it's graffiti.

Yeah.

And then you go out,
