Man Daniel is ridiculously well adjusted, emotionally mature & empathetic whilst in possession of the most wicked sense of humour. The man has it all.😮 👏
People can misconstrue “I’m in a relationship because this relationship is better than being single.” It’s one thing if you’re single and just sitting around being a miserable person, and you get in a relationship in hopes of making your sad life better, as opposed to being single and living your best life, and you meet a person who’s so amazing that somehow they enhance your already amazing existence. People need to maximize their singleness, to use that time to discover who they are and what makes them tick, and just live life to the full. A relationship needs to be more like icing on a cake, not the cake itself.
The quality of a relationship is really on how your world collides with another person’s world. And even though it’s important to try your best in every relationship, sometimes you gotta realize when your efforts are producing diminishing returns for your world…getting trapped is real!
I listened to this in the gym and visualized a scottish, middle-aged and slightly overweight comedian like Jim Jefferies. Amazing that this young feller can speak so heavily from the depths of truth.

I'm not a book-reviewing person in general but daniel's book gives a full belly laugh, a thousand times saying, "oo this is so relatable and thank you for saying this" . Besides, he gives a whole new perspective to so many things with his unabashed and at times unedited yet raw and real writing. This book should be a bestseller and should be recommended to every 20 something person.

Really enjoyed that! This is a prime example of why podcasts are great. When it works it fucking works! it is authentic and funny and interesting. Thanks guys!
What a brilliant idea: Tomorrow I'm going to buy an expensive bottle of champagne, put the name of the person I hate most in the world on it and leave it, ready to be opened and enjoyed when said person finally kicks the bucket! Thank you Daniel!!!
I really enjoyed that Chris. Im a low level boomer comic and I really loved finding out about one of the British legends of the art form and what and how he thinks. Excellent stuff.
But it seems as if it is not just "people don't like your work and leave" but "I'm leaving and I am going to stand outside and yell 'don't go inside and you're awful if you do'."
I think recent politics, particularly in the U.S., has brought out the absolute worst in people. And I lost so-called friends and family over it, because these people were so unashamed and completely unapologetic about showing their worst sides. They felt entitled to be abusive. And that's not politics, that's a personality disorder. And it's well that it has been exposed. Those same people subjected me to that arrogant, opinionated bullying before politics was that contentious, but it was too close to home and personal for me to be objective about. But when I saw them behaving so badly, ranting and raving, and speaking so disrespectfully about strangers, I knew I was better off in life without them. They were not good people, politics was just an excuse to show it.
i hear you. i couldn't be happier to lose so many "friends" when the alternative would be continuing to deal with their hypocritical, double-thinking, fight-picking, flakey, envious, rude, self-absorbed nonsense. i went wayyy too long making excuses for them. but the current climate just laid their s h i t bare. good riddance to bad rubbish. more time to write and study.
Exactly like I have debated the style of cod and how people saying its like fight for your life every match in lobby in new ones wen it’s all ways been that way ik more then most people about cod
You're entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to an audience. Audiences are privileges that deserve respect. An audience is the granting of the favor of someone's attention. A hundred and fifty years ago the first thing a public speaker did was thank the audience for the 'gift' of their attention. Now people expect that you not only pay attention enough to guess what's in their pants or under their skirt, but grant respect for their 'feelings' about what's in their pants or under their skirt. I can't even express how great an intrusion that is into the sovereignty of other people's attention. You have to woo other people's attention, you can't demand it. And there are no valid shortcuts. I personally was raised to believe that as a society we ignore other people's genitals. They were and continue to be very private. We don't judge people based on their genitals and we don't take a personal interest in them either, unless by intimate mutual consent (according to the law). And we certainly did not want to be involved in a stranger's feelings about their own genitals. Keep the trench coat buttoned! My personal standard is you better put a ring on my finger before I have to hear about your feelings about your genitals. Yep, that's how little I care or should be expected to care. Everything else is between you and your doctor and your mental health practitioner. Anyway, we really need to go back and re-assess as a society the level of attention that we can reasonably expect from other people.
he hates religion but you can see its grace in his world view. He probably just hates what religion has become in this age and hasn't taken the time to realize hes judging the failures of people not the teachings.

Edit: I've been following his relationship principle for decades - I called it the Couch-Test: If I'd rather spend an evening on my couch reading a book than going out with him -> single life wins. Which is why I'm still a comparatively happy single. ☺️
What love life? Well I suppose I could have one if I didn't mind a woman who was fat, unfit, on medication for depression AND an insufferable feminist. Sadly, finding a woman who is none of those things is as likely as winning the lottery.

I appreciate the sentiment about comedy and freedom of walking away from something you don't approve. Probably works as a principle but randomly stirring the shit without giving a context only fuels hatred against trans folks. It's just pure bullying.
Some really great stuff here throughout but particularly the first 15mins jumped out at me “You don’t need to have an opinion on everything” seems like a pertinent thing to discuss. If you don’t know anything about trans people, and don’t care to learn anything, that’s totally fine- but you could also just leave them alone and stop exploiting a manufactured controversy over their right to exist for likes, views and clicks. Cancel baiting is so so tedious and I’m glad Daniel changes the subject twice to steer away from it. Shitting on trans people is the dominant mainstream media position in the UK at the moment. Even the BBC have been pushed into adopting a gender critical position. The ultimate establishment institution. There’s nothing radical, controversial or edgy about it. I know this will be an unpopular post and no one’s looking to have their kind changed on this topic, so I’ll spare us all the effort of copying the clear and definitive statistics on this. They are widely and freely available to anyone who cares to look for them. But dear God just stop shoehorning such a tiny percentage of the population into so many conversations - it’s obvious you’re never going to platform anyone who doesn’t agree with your position, or who knows anything about the lived experience of trans people. The obsession is honestly getting a bit creepy. Anyway loved the rest of the conversation and immediately bought Daniel’s book, can’t wait to read it. He’s a very interesting and entertaining guest every time

It's so refreshing to watch two grown up, emotionally mature men discuss relationships.

Not having an opinion on something you don't know anything about or have any personal experience with isn't cowardice, it's humility.
Daniel's book is one of the best I've listened to in such a long time.

Loved the podcast! Thank you both. Love to Daniel!
Best elaboration on Tinder I have ever heard!
59:50 Chris necks a can of Fanta like Stone Cold Steve Austin
Oh wow, Macaulay Culkin looks healthy, good for him!
you are both great, really enjoyed it
What headset is Mr Sloss using? His mic is a million miles from his mouth and his voice is crystal clear. I need it for my next Teams meeting!
How is this not blowing up? Awesome guy, love your dynamic.
But it seems as if it is not just "people don't like your work and leave" but "I'm leaving and I am going to stand outside and yell 'don't go inside and you're awful if you do'."

Or you could just walk out or look at what ever blows your hair back.
It depends how much you know to judge how qualified an opinion is anyway.
There won't be another Dave Chappelle special. Well, not on Netflix anyway.
Am I the only person that thought the topic of this podcast had very little to do with what they talked about?
How can I hate something that doesn't exist for me😆
Just listening to audio, I thought his voice sounds like it’s coming out of Gerard Butlers body, wtf lol
The #1 reason you don't like your love life, is that you don't even love yourself, so how can you love anyone else?
