Summary

With the Edinburgh Fringe in full swing I finally got one of my comedy heroes on the show. Tom Stade has been giving zero F's for as long as I remember. He doesn't set out to offend but he'll never apologise when he does. We have a great chat about woke comedy and where to draw the line (if there's a line at all).

0:00.0	What Most Impulse.
0:04.1	Hello and welcome to this week's episode of what most people think. Now I am already away on holiday
0:18.9	as you listen to this. I'm halfway through a week
0:20.9	long holiday, but I thought I'd get organised. So this is a pre-record, but if there is
0:25.1	all-out war in the Middle East, you know, or if Hugh Edwards has now got a controversial sponsorship
0:29.9	deal with Ray Ban, then do allow me not being up with the news, because I'm probably
0:35.4	sitting somewhere getting fatter. Yeah, we've gone to Grand Canaria for our holiday and it's proper all-inclusive, it's proper all-in. We're not planning to leave the resort. I'm not even changing up fucking euros. You ever do that on an all-inclusive? You go, I am just literally, even if your family said, oh, should we go into town? Just stare them out, go, no, all inclusive.
0:55.5	Which bit of all inclusive, didn't you understand?
0:58.4	If we do go into town, we're going to put in fucking breakfast pastries in our pockets.
1:03.6	And actually, if I'm not fat, when I get back from this holiday, I will be demanding a refund.
1:09.3	Now, this week's guest is one of my heroes really in comedy.
1:13.8	Tom stayed and my wife always stayed to piss out of me because I got to see him every
1:17.6	year the Edinburgh friend.
1:18.8	She thinks I'm like a comedy groupie.
1:20.5	But he's also not exactly a contemporary, but he was somebody that was doing it, doing
1:24.4	like what would now be called edgy comedy when I started.
1:27.3	I think I mentioned it in the chat, but it was like a be called edgy comedy when I started. I think I mentioned
1:27.9	it in the chat, but it was like a Monday in Torquay and I was just like, I drove fucking seven hours to get there. And then Tom went on first because he was closing the gig somewhere else. I was like, what the fuck? That was amazing. You know, I want to be more like that guy. And so I would say for this interview, do watch some of Tom's stuff online,
1:45.9	go on YouTube. I mean, one of his most iconic routines is the Mead van routine, but just
1:50.4	dive down the Tom State rabbit hole, because I promise you, you'll get so much more from this
1:55.1	chat if you do that. But at least watch one or two routines just to get in the mood of what
1:59.7	his comedy is like.
