Top Gear, Jimmy, are you doing it?

Top Gear?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm going to put the teams together.

It's me, Hammond, and May, but it's, sadly, it's Alison Hammond and Theresa May.

See, I think the BBC, I think the BBC have looked at Top Gear and they've gone, right, that's an incredible piece of intellectual property.

Who do we want to do it?

Who would we not mind having a catastrophic crash?

I think my name's top of that fucking list.

Yeah, go on, you go your hand up.

What you got?

What, sorry?

Have I got Robbie Williams' phone number?

Yeah.

What, sorry?

Can I just text him your name?

No. I think he would think that was weird.

What?

Yes, I have phone numbers of some people that you would fuck, but also, I don't know whether...

I'm not...

I can't help you.

I'm not make -a -wish for middle -aged horny ladies.

I can't...

He's got other options.

I sell prawns for a living and have done so for 29 years.

Affectionately known as the Prawn King.

Is it too late for a career change into comedy?

Steve, the Prawn King.

Steve, the Prawn King, where are you, mate?

okay now i don't know how much you know about derby but it is landlocked

where the fuck are you getting these prawns you

you couldn't be further from the sea in the uk you fucking maniac what

are they in a fucking bath somewhere what are you where are these prawns happening what sorry

that's your unique selling points they're inland prawns the fuck are you talking about what

29 years and no one's gone mate this sounds weird well good luck the prawn king I think,

yeah, fucking give stand -up a go here's the thing, right I don't know about a career change

you might not make money doing stand -up but you should fucking try it

why wouldn't you give it a go? do five minutes above a pub somewhere have a dart on it, because even if it doesn't go well you'll get so much more out of stand -up having tried it,

give it a go come on Steve all kinds of fucking prawn based humour I'm a bit of a workaholic.

I'm a bit of a workaholic.

Do I ever take time off?

I don't think I work.

I think if you define it like this, work is where you are when you'd rather be somewhere else.

I don't think I work.

It's nice to have that.

You know, pressure is a privilege.

I like being here.

I like telling jokes.

I like chatting to people.

It's fucking great.

And I do it a lot because...

One day I might get better.

Yeah.

I know you think that's meant to be a pop.

That's genuinely my aim.

There's two different things you can do with your life, right?

One is telic, one is anti -telic.

Tasks with an ending, right?

A telic.

Tasks with an end are inherently a bit depressing.

You finish the project, it's a bit...

Right.

Even if you're fucking great at something, even if it's gold medal syndrome, you win the gold

and then afterwards you go oh fuck what now being a

comedian is a task without end like being a parent is

a task without end that's what brings you joy in life stuff you can keep on doing again

and again it's not repetition it's iteration good I like it

what else we got what do I think about Dolly Parton a little bit heartbroken a little bit heartbroken And I mean,

I think she was like the rarest of figures, like the last of her kind, iconic really, came from nothing and created this kind of,

this thing, this myth, and brought America together.

Both the left and the right loved her.

It's unusual, right?

It's unusual that someone unites America like that, especially in these dark days.

So, I think, a fucking great loss.

What do you think of Andy Burnham?

What do I think of Andy Burnham?

I wish him well.

I fear that was quite a short fucking honeymoon.

I don't think he knows, I think he's, you know, I genuinely hope he's alright, but I think he's beyond fucked.

I think he's I think he got in in the first day he capped bus fares motherfucker look around

that will not suffice well I'm gonna put 2p on income tax that won't make any fucking difference mate

he's got to turn this ship around and for

that you need proper kind of radical realism you need to see where we are as a nation

and then respect that

and act accordingly I think we need to be competitive with the rest of the world we need to compete

and in order to compete you have to take some quite

strong medicine I think we need to devalue our currency by about 20 %

because our currency serves the city of London

if you really are interested in the redistribution of wealth out

amongst the provinces what you need to do is have a lower currency

so that we can manufacture things in this country and sell them to the rest of the world And then,

I mean, if I'm running for office here, energy is baked into fucking everything, and our energy costs four times what it costs in America.

That's fucking crazy.

All I'm asking is, why can't we be as technologically advanced as the French in the 70s?

They built 56 nuclear plants in the 70s, right?

The French couldn't give a flying fuck what the Russians say because they're not worried about them cutting off the gas supply.

We are, because we're fucking idiots.

We don't need politicians, we need statesmen, people thinking 20 years, 30 years in the future.

100

Huh?

101

I look like a prime minister.

102

Yeah, I get that, but I'm a funny gun.

103

Hey, Ricky G, I'm registered blind, and my son is treating me to the show for my birthday.

104

I think I'd rather have seen Jimmy Carr, but let's see how it goes, sigh.

105

Catherine.

106

Right.

107

Catherine, where are you, Catherine?

108

You're here.

109

Can we turn up the lights?

110

I mean, it won't make any difference to her, but I'd like to.

111

I'm just flexing.

112

Where are you, Catherine?

113

Give us a wave.

114

What?

115

Oh, up there, hello.

116

Registered blind.

117

it says you're registered blind you didn't leave with I'm blind

118

you know I'm registered blind is this are you just getting

119

the social you claiming the sick fucking good on your love good on you

120

and how what's your level of vision what have you got what's your level of vision very distorted but it Well,

121

maybe it isn't.

122

I've had a lot of work done.

123

You wanted to sit down the front?

124

Well, that'd be a fucking waste, wouldn't it, love?

125

I don't want to be a dick about it, but you could be right at the back.

126

It doesn't really make any difference to you.

127

You're lucky you're facing the right way.

128

I imagine that's not...

129

Who are you here with?

130

Who's this?

131

That's your son, alright mate?

132

How are ya?

133

He's got a lot of swastika tattoos, hasn't he?

134

Why has he got all those swastika tattoos?

135

Seems very aggressive.

136

Why is he making those obscene finger gestures towards you?

137

do you still live at home mate is your house like festooned with porn oh she won't fucking know

138

what are you watching nothing

139

it's very nice to have you here i was texting ricky early he's a fucking good guy

140

same same i hope you've enjoyed your night out Should we defend the Falklands?

141

Well, men died defending the Falklands, and lest we forget that.

142

I mean, I've got quite strong views on our military.

143

I think civilisation is a clearing in the forest, and we constantly have to relitigate these things.

144

But, I don't know.

145

Listen, I'll tell you, if anyone's, I don't know if you're interested, I'll get back to jokes in a second, but if you're interested, I think we as a nation, I think we should defend the Falklands because they're part of Great Britain.

146

But I think, but I would add to that, and I think we should have a military, and I think we should have national service.

147

But, but I don't think national service means military service.

148

I think you should get to choose whether you want to go into the military

149

or the emergency services Or you want to be a carer you should get a choice as to what you do

150

And then you serve your nation for a couple of years, and that's what unites us.

151

I think that'd be a very good thing

152

But I would add to that I think we should have a national defense force and I would say that also

153

We should be neutral as a nation

154

what would I do in national service baby I would entertain

155

you I think I think I'd go I'd go I mean

156

I really admire the military I would love I'd love to have done

157

that as a young man I didn't it was you know

158

I don't know it was a it was a it was seen as weird

159

when I left college but that would have been a fucking great thing to do

160

and the police do a fucking terrific job they get the

161

respect they fucking deserve the ambulance service are incredible fucking fireman how much fucking pussy are they getting,

162

Jesus my wife has booked us in for a live autopsy for date night,

163

should I be concerned Dave the fuck is Dave where's Dave Dave the fuck are you talking about a live autopsy

164

so it's like a live seminar where you get to go

165

and watch it's a live seminar but you get to go

166

and watch an autopsy wow well

167

that sounds genuinely fucking fascinating I don't care what age you are you should always be interested

168

and intrigued by stuff

169

that sounds like a fucking fun albeit quite a weird night

170

out I think I'm going to be all right with jokes

171

I can't imagine live autopsies are going to take no one

172

here is thinking oh fuck We should have gone to a live autopsy.

173

We could have seen a cadaver ripped up.

174

I think you'll be all right.

175

I mean, obviously, sleep with one eye open.

176

She's just looking for ideas.

177

If you could ask the answer to any question, what would you ask and why?

178

If you could have the answer to any question, what would you ask and why?

179

All.

180

it's a very good question I think it would be I think it would be yeah why are we here

181

again I don't I don't think God was there for the Big Bang

182

I think the universe is a device for creating God

183

and I think we are the universe experiencing itself think time

184

and space and matter are the interface we use to experience the universe

185

so you should be kind to everyone you meet because everyone you meet is just God in drag.

186

I'd like to know if I'm right about that any other?

187

Am I going to retire?

188

No, I died with my boots on.

189

I think COVID gave us all a little glimpse into retirement.

190

Fuck that.

191

It's a lot of just mincing around the house, wasn't there?

192

Well, I wish Lee hadn't retired.

193

Lee Evans is one of the fucking greats.

194

He's just, he's magical and he doesn't work anymore and I wish he did.

195

I hope he has money worries and has to come back.

196

you know

197

that story about uh you know leonard cohen the singer leonard

198

cohen hallelujah right famous singer he came out he did like

199

a seven year meditation retreat did nothing for seven years came out

200

and his accountant had stolen all of his money he came out and he suddenly

201

his management told him oh he's gone to jail you're now poor

202

and so he had to go back on tour

203

and you see footage you can see it online you see

204

footage of him coming out he's like 78 he's like coming out on stage like this, having to perform a concert.

205

And then you see footage of him five years later, coming out on stage, full of fucking energy.

206

I think it's like, you don't wait to feel strong to do the work, the work makes you fucking strong.

207

The weight doesn't get lighter, the back gets stronger.

208

Keep working.

209

I don't know.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
