Fin Taylor

I think I heard it as soon as I said it.

I don't have a Finn Taylor-esque character.

These just sound like my

real opinions.

We've hit publication date.

Uh, "The History of Mankind in Its Entirety", abridged by Finn Taylor, historian, forwarded by Professor Horatio Gould.

Of course, yes.

I put it in some historical context.

History.

It is two comedians, Finn Taylor and Horatio Gould.

They will talk about a historical subject for an hour, and I guarantee you, you'll know nothing about the subject at the end of the hour because they're just joking around.

And I almost see it as – so I don't – it's a podcast that I don't listen to while I'm working.

a really

good podcast called Finn versus history.

It's quite dry humor and he doesn't hold back.

It's really funny.

I'm not sure.

Is it a podcast or is it a YouTube thing? I wouldn't have seen it, no.

A guy called Finn Taylor.

He's a comedian.

Genuinely, I went back, I watched some Top Gear, I read some of his Telegraph pieces.

This is Finn Taylor.

Finn Taylor, who's obviously a mate of ours, and I think probably the biggest patron podcast in the UK, certainly one of the most successful comedy podcasts in the UK.

I believe one of the funniest podcasts in the UK.

I've guessed it on one of their live streams.

I remember when he was doing Finn vs. the Internet, and he sort of described that as a character.

Yeah.

And I was like, what is the character? It's kind of like Ali G, but what is the Finn Taylor character? It's Jeremy Clarkson.

We're fine.

What's Finn Taylor like? He's a good guy.

Sure, sure, sure.

He's a really good guy.

Go on, do it.

No!

Come on, pretend I'm Finn Taylor.

Come on.

But for whatever reason, in my experience, these shows don't necessarily win the main award.

But I remember dropping Finn Taylor an email a few years ago because he...

And I know my then agent, Christian Knowles, had also dropped him an email.

Because I think if you hear positive stuff, the least you can do is share the nice positive stuff, right? For example, I acted cool when Alistair Beckett King said that Stuart Lee had said how good I was at comparing at that charity gig.

Yeah.

Richard, what you were saying about Dan Bilzerian, uh, reminded me of a great joke by this, uh, comedian Finn Taylor, who says, you know, there's no one more depressed about the world than a Holocaust denier, because they're so anti-- they're anti- they're complete- they're antisemitic, so they wanted it to happen, but they say, "Oh, nothing ever good happens to me." [laughs]

Yeah.

[laughs] Uh, yeah.
