Fin Taylor

from? And I think I would probably be a surprising arrival of being this person.

Finn Taylor once described it as, you look like the school bully, but you sound like Milhouse.

That's good.

Don't

Yeah, it's definitely the attitude's changed.

I remember like saying to Finn Taylor in a green room when I'd started doing TikTok, like, oh yeah, it's great.

Like, I'm really enjoying making videos and stuff and him being like, what? Like, why, what? why am I being expected to make TikToks now? Like, you know, that's lame.

And then like four months later, he's got like the biggest podcast ever.

I'm the same.

I mean, I interviewed Finn Taylor for this podcast.

He's a perfect example.

He's the example.

Can I say, I think I'm edgier than all of them.

I think I have edgier jokes in my new show, Chortle, compared to Finn Taylor, which is hilarious.

So funny.

So, so funny.

And one thing, I don't know if we should be gendered about this or what you think about this as a gender topic as much as anything else.

I see more male comedians, so people like Finn Taylor, who are willing to go on stage with a real, fuck you whether you like me or not, this is what I'm saying.

I think you do see male comedians do that.

And you may disagree when I say you see less female comedians doing it.

I stepped in last minute and did a...

It never went out, luckily, but it was because Finn Taylor and Paul Chowdhury roasted each other.

It was one-on-one roast battles at the old school, not these ones where everyone stands up and makes roasts of different people.

And it just, Chowdhury hated it.

Okay.

Speaking about the history, you talked about, this was a couple of years ago, you talked about how you'd like to do a history podcast and you being a comedian, are you upset by the fact that the likes of Finn versus history has since taken off and been a massive success?

I think, yeah, at the time, like, I mean, I had a podcast with two other fellas and, like, I remember at the time I was just ready for something new, like, and I was, I was basically listening to the rest of his history and then, but, like, no, because I listened to Finn Taylor's and he's, like, he's done it far better than anyone ever could have done it, like,

and,

like, my idea was, like, oh, you get a different person on every week and, they choose a topic and we talk about it and stuff like that but it was basically like I was just listening to the rest of history and really enjoying it and thinking it was fantastic and I just sort of

What, what a world, man.

They're doing another pantomime with Finn Taylor-

[laughs]

... and John Kearns and Porky Berry somehow involved.
