03:31saying in our industry
03:32the scariest thing you can do is do stand-up comedy i've never ever looked at it like that i
03:38remember a
03:39friend who said to me it's not nerves mate it's just adrenaline i know that if no one laughs there's
03:45going to be adrenaline all in the back of my underpants i'll tell you that comedies it's got
03:50such a wide spectrum of what some people might find it might find what i might find funny you
03:54might not or he might not i mean i've stood and looked at a room in hysterics and then half
04:00the room
04:00going i i don't know what this is this person's doing have you died on stage everyone dies at some
04:05point but it's what you've got you've got to learn you've got to learn but let me tell you this
04:11right see if you come off after five minutes of laugh oh you will be up there for days it
04:17is genuinely
04:18the greatest feeling in the world here's what i need you to do yes write yourselves your actors

04:47actually made me feel a bit better did she well because she just said be confident in what you're
04:52saying you know if you're nervous they'll be nervous i think that's what i got from her is that what
04:56you
04:56heard what what did you hear i'll tell you what i heard it's terrifying yes it's terrifying
05:11okay right um you're always going about i'm not scared of things you know avians and
05:15you know and spirits and all that well i think i've actually done something that you would find
05:20more frightening than any of that what i've done that i think you'd find more frightening enlighten me
05:26is have a child oh yes yes actually commit to something commitment like i have had two kids and
05:36brought them up right so yeah i thought to give you a little taste
05:44i'm taking to a place it's like a charity set up where dads can go and learn
05:49how to be good parents what to expect from a baby this is how to be a parent living nightly
05:58you'll learn something
06:02hello today's group is being run by co-founder thomas lynch
06:08what's the worry about children it's a lot of work in it i bought a bread maker once and i
06:14was i
06:14loved making that bread but after a little while i was like i still plug it and put it under
06:18the
06:18cupboard you can't really do not really do that with babies can you that's the first time i've ever
06:22had a child compared to a bread maker at first all they are is is you've got to feed them
06:27and clean
06:28them and that's sort of it for a while you don't get much back do you for a while and
06:33that can be
06:33quite soul destroying it's like well especially for you guys you need that attention right i mean you're
06:39not wrong but i didn't expect to be called out quite so quickly and accurately yeah there is
06:44definitely a little bit that you need to give but as soon as they make little noises as soon
06:48as their eyes are opening oh it's brilliant ralph what is it that you're most afraid of do you think
06:55um i've lived a lot of my life having a mentality where there's nothing i can't walk away from
07:05um it's it's actually terrifying to me the idea of loving something so completely and irreversibly
07:14uh yeah you can't walk away from it i can't walk away from it intact that's terrifying to me

12:15something before like this it's all the baby out it's your baby
12:29what are you doing i'm turning it off you're not supposed to do that it's magic great idea
12:39let's get out that's the way you deal with it that worked that worked would it be great if you
12:47could just do that when they're crying just switch it off for a bit
13:03it's um it's been a funny old day just in general for me it's through some i can see it
13:09threw some
13:09questions into your mind that you weren't expecting yeah i could tell from your reaction that you was a
13:14bit like maybe maybe there is a reason a bit deeper why i haven't got had children for sure
13:23no it is yeah
13:26my parents were fantastic with us and did the best that they could yeah but their relationship broke
13:33down really in a really difficult way and that was very difficult for us yeah um you know and not
13:40there's no there's no way of putting this that's not blunt but um you know they had three kids in
13:47an
13:47idyllic family life and then one of the kids was alive one where you can dead the next and everything
13:54their entire lives crumbled right in front of their eyes from that moment on it's like
14:00you know you can't protect them my mom was really
14:08my mom was really protective of us really protected
14:14and and and it happened anyway it happened anyway because you can't pretty you can't wrap your kids
14:19in cotton wool and protect them 24 7. no
14:22like it's it's a lot and it's only when i'm forced to sort of say these things out loud that
14:28i realize
14:28quite quite what a lot it is yeah yeah there's no guarantees is do you know
14:48how's the stand-up coming along you have any ideas
14:52it's getting closer and closer i'm absolutely shitting about it this is the thing is i think
14:56my stomach's got worse since i realized we were doing stand-up you think it's possible you might
15:01shit yourself yeah well i've got some good news for you what for our next adventure
15:09to investigate fear you've said to me on more than one occasion on our podcast or whatever you've said
15:14to me do you know what i'd really love to do i'd love to i'd love to be in the
15:18circus i'd probably be
15:19a clown i feel like that 100 yeah we're going to the circus we're going to join the circus
15:25yeah and we're we're we're not actually going to be clones i thought we might do something a
15:30little more challenging something that might challenge fears what
16:00nice you must be out of your mind if you think we're going to be able to do that
16:05scott craig started out in the circus as a child in australia nearly 30 years ago
16:10and now teaches trapeze here at community circus paisley this place uh basically a circus school
16:18it's now i think one of only two indoor flying trapeze rigs in the uk wow so i what is
16:24it we're
16:24actually going to be doing so we're going to start with the very first trick that everyone starts with
16:27on flying trapeze which is a knee hang which is literally just bringing your knees up hooking on onto
16:32the bar taking your hands off hanging from your knees as you swing through towards the catcher
16:36the catcher will grab you first and then you take your legs off the bar and you go for a
16:40swing on
16:40the catcher that's the first thing the way you made that sound really simple i thought he was going
16:45to go she's going to swing by your arms yeah we'll start bit by bit we'll start on the ground
16:49it's
16:50pretty simple it's just if you can lie on the ground bring your knees up to your chest you've got
16:54it
17:01i have to say i'm loving the outfits thanks mate i noticed that you're not sporting one lie down
17:06on the ground that's it grab the stick and hold it above your head so you can imagine you're hanging
17:13down that's it so the secret to getting your legs under the bar i'm exhausted already and all i'm
17:20doing is lying down as hard as it gets don't worry you're going to bring your knees up that's it
17:25and
17:25then roll them right up right up right up right up all right scott nice to meet you jesus christ
17:33yes there we go right over i'm stuck let's try it again right look down at your feet yep roll
17:39your
17:40feet right up to the bar if you can even further even further keep going keep going keep going
17:44that's it right up there we go that's it that's it get out of the bar
17:49jesus christ scott scott scott you said anyone could do this this isn't easy at all there we
17:59go see hey oh no i don't know how it happened okay i've got it okay here we go impossible
18:08oh there we go i'm not flexible like a piece of metal i don't bend when you lean out keep
18:18your
18:18hips forward and your shoulders back give me all of your weight straight legs yep feet apart a little
18:22bit more sorry that was my ankle did you hear that snap yeah that was me ankles i felt that
18:27through the
18:27floor i think he thought we might have had experience because he was like right do that do that let
18:32go
18:32down i was like whoa whoa to jump backwards bring your hips and your toes forward to go down that
18:37water slide okay shoulders back imagine you're rowing a boat hips forwards what hips forwards no that
18:43this is that's it there we go did i think scott's training was a bit rushed i think he just
18:50thinks
18:50we could all do what he can do you look down at your knees bring your knees up and around
18:54push the bar
18:55over put your knees on hold on tight when i say hands off you're gonna let go and arch right
19:00back scott and
19:01we'll just come back up to here what are you talking about under the bar you've got it you've got
19:05it put them on and then hands off i can't let go i can't i've got you you can't possibly
19:12come down
19:12i can't let go let's go let's go i can't let go i've got all your weight i can't let

19:29tell you what though that ladder looks really sturdy oh yeah
19:34so you don't have to think just do what you're told when you're told it
19:44no mental oh my god no i'm sorry i can't let go there's no way there's no way mate you've
19:52got it

21:44swing okay gently hands off look right up leg straight yes oh so you're not stuck with your
21:58water bastard that was actually amazing bulk off okay truth the getting the second hand on it is
22:09by far the worst bit it's horrendous but by far the worst bit but from the moment you go it's
22:13like oh
22:14this is great you are you and one million percent can do it i don't think i can you can
22:19do it the
22:19worst thing that can possibly happen has already happened which is putting on that outfit
22:26that is true you got this these things you take for granted as a kid i used to go to
22:32parks
22:33swing from me ankles no fear no problem i'm 49 now and you can tell
22:47the longer you're up there thinking about it the worst it gets so the second time i just went
22:51just do it yeah you got it just stay there stay there that's exactly it you're safe

23:25you did it i'm proud of you maybe do it again that's fantastic that's bollocks once you were
23:30swinging did you not enjoy it nope will wasn't keen on another attempt but scott wanted me to try
23:35for a full catch swinging from one trapeze over to another gymnast okay so you're going for a catch
23:43yeah okay so adam's going to tell you to bend and jump and then you'll listen to me and then
23:48adam
23:48will say leg leg straight yeah so bend and jump to start says yeah okay so left hand on that
23:57bar
23:59yeah the bar's coming up second time going it's the worst bit in it okay ready on board here we
24:07go
24:07back jump good okay knees up hook them on that's it hands off look up
24:18yeah sean get in there
24:39that was amazing mate that was unbelievable unbelievable that was a real thrill superb
24:51you can get a one last time can't you plenty of chalk on the hands i can't keep failing because
24:55it's not good for me head i just keep thinking and just hold on you haven't failed i've not felt
24:59like that for a while my brain going you can't do this the older you get the less you do
25:04so the
25:05more scared you are of doing things that you've never done before i think that's the key and i hate
25:10it you did phenomenally today to get from where you started to what you achieved i appreciate your
25:16time no one thank you come back anytime we'll get there on the face of it it looks like i
25:22had more
25:23success today than he did but i'm not scared of heights will went that looks terrifying i'm not
25:27going to be able to do any of it and he overcame several layers of fear and did what he
25:33did and
25:34actually i think that's measurably probably a bigger success
25:43what happens if i get that fear when i'm on stage do we stand up are you worried that it
25:49might
25:49now confidence is everything you know yeah even if you're not confident you can sell that you are
25:53yeah and that is what stand-up's about yeah and that's just not me confidence so when we go to
25:58do the
25:58stand-up i'm not going to be as confident as i would have been if i hadn't have done that
26:03do you
26:04think it's too late to back out it's the afternoon of the performance and we're meeting susie to get
26:12our first look at the venue well there's no going back now mate susie hi boys how's it going oh
26:22come on
26:23over this feels like the long walk dead men walking on the mile so you will have tables and everything
26:32i mean that close yeah yeah yeah it has to be oh no even though we've never done this it
26:39feels like
26:40it's close enough to what we are known for doing even though it we know it's very different i think
26:45there's an added pressure to that there's no way i would have signed up to do this if i thought
26:49you'd be
26:49terrible so so now i did pressure from yeah don't let us down you're my comedy children we're keeping
26:58our material secret from each other so susie has given us feedback in private we won't see each other
27:03perform until tonight hands out your pockets listen off right i've not learned any of this yet ladies and
27:11gentlemen please welcome to the stage well mail off yes people why did we'll go with no notes
27:19did he shit house i will plan and plan i just turned 49 and shitting myself has come a bit
27:25more of a
27:26regularity raf will leave everything to the last minute that's just how he is well this is scary already
27:32uh it's uh uh thank you so much for welcoming me into this warm dark space it's very inviting
27:48as always in retrospect i wish i'd spend longer on it it's a young man's game trusting farts is a
27:55young man's game that's funny yes i liked it when you've done the thing about kids being spoiled so
28:01don't always punch up work you've got to punch up that's very funny hilarious that's how we flip
28:06it round that's it that's a great shout thank you susie really really appreciate your help
28:10right oh good off i i'm i'm battling with this thing i'm going it's a few hours away now
28:16and as it stands i still have essentially nothing but you know what you became less nervous as you get
28:23further into it you look less at your nose i think it is so much stronger than what you think
28:28it is okay i really do
28:31i really do so yeah okay i'm gonna go and spend a few hours learning this rewriting bits of it
28:39trying not to throw up i'll be great you will be great you will be great
28:58i did have to rewrite some stuff you know susie gave me some tips that i then had to go
29:02and rewrite
29:03i think the best stand-up is personal i've always enjoyed standards where you learn a little bit about
29:07them and the way they see life and the way they see the world when i left susie i got
29:13her notes and
29:14i went back and i worked on it and i took on her advice and changed it which made me
29:20a bit nervous
29:20because i thought if i change it at this point what if i just messes my whole thing up

35:38Oh, my God, look at that.
35:40Shaking.
35:41But when you're up there, you just sort of try and sit in it.
35:43I'm shaking, fucking watching.
35:44Yeah, it's scary, but if you push through that
35:47and you do something that's that scary
35:50and you come out the other side, there's no better feeling.

36:02And I'm also like, I've got to do this now.
36:05You've set the bar here.
36:06You can hit a spiral really quickly.
36:09I got laughs on looks and pause and timing
36:12and I just really enjoyed that.
36:15Yeah, but amazing.
36:16Honestly, there were...
36:17Oh, I'm so tough for you, pal.
36:19You were great.
36:21Well, honestly...
36:21Don't say that.
36:22Poor Ralph's got to go on.
36:25And please welcome back your host and content,
36:27Susie McKay!
36:34Hey, hey!
36:36Listen, are we having a good night, folks?
36:40Right, Glasgow, I've got another newbie.
36:42Never done this before.
36:44What?
36:45Do you enjoy it?
36:46Believe in yourself, you've got this.
36:48Yes.
36:48Please.
36:49Welcome to this stage, Mr Ralph Leto!
37:01Evening.
37:04So, this is my first time doing this, as Susie McKay, legend, just said.
37:08She was very clear when she was giving me some tips.
37:10She was like, no memory aids are allowed whatsoever.
37:12No notes, nothing written on your hand.
37:14But I like to do things my own way.
37:16So, I've written, Susie can fuck right off.
37:20All you need to know about me is, um, 20 odd years ago,
37:23I was in a very successful sitcom with Will Meller, who was on earlier,
37:27who was my co-star.
37:28And, um, back in the day, this woman recognised me.
37:31She got really, really excited.
37:32And she was like, oh, oh, do you mind if I call my mate?
37:35I was like, yeah, sure.
37:36She called my mate, she was like,
37:37Joanne, Joanne, you won't believe who I'm stood next to.
37:39Oh, it's that lad from Two Pints.
37:42No, no, not the fit one, the other one.
37:47I'm the other one.
37:50That's all you need to know about me.
37:54I'm 45, got little kids, and, uh, a lot of people are dads at my age.
37:59A lot of people are granddads at my age.
38:02In certain parts of Glasgow, a lot of people are great granddads, aren't they?
38:12I wasn't sure about that one thing, fucked about it.
38:17Show of hands, any parents out there?
38:19Any parents?
38:20Oh, bless you, look at that.
38:22It felt like a really good idea, didn't it, at the time, hey?
38:24Oh, in the moment, carried away during sex, you're like, oh, yeah, great.
38:28Now you live with those consequences for the rest of your lives.
38:32Like the worst STD in the world, that's what a child is.
38:38Cost you a fucking fortune, make you anxious,
38:40and if you ever split up and have to meet someone new,
38:43you have to disclose it straight out of the gate.
38:45There's worse than herpes, that.
38:49Except, if you try and use pills to get rid of it, that's frowned upon.
39:00Not making any of this up, this is like fucking therapy.
39:03Thank you so much.
39:07When I was nine, I...
39:15My sister died when she was 14 because she fell off a cliff.
39:19It made me learn from an early age that you have to try and laugh through sort of anything.
39:24But I don't think generational trauma is necessarily a good foundation for fatherhood.
39:28But that said, my other sister, who survived, we call her the spare.
39:43We call her the spare.
39:45She has two kids and they're all right.
39:49My brother, he doesn't have that trauma because he was born a year after my sister fell.
39:55We call him the replacement.
40:01And he said to me, what was she like, Ralph?
40:06What was Kerry like?
40:08And I thought about it for a long time.
40:10And I was like...
40:14If I had to sum her up in one word, I'd say...
40:19Clumsy.
40:38So maybe, just maybe, I'm not the most suitable material to be a dad.
40:59How are you feeling?
41:00Fucking dead.
41:00I'm feeling St James with Mr Ralph Leto.
41:03You all right?
41:04Yeah, it was great.
41:05It was great.
41:05Well done.
41:06That was amazing.
41:07Fucking you're dark, mate.
41:09You know what?
41:09I told you.
41:10I told you all my shit was dark.
41:12I feel like I need to sleep for about ten days, but it's been amazing.
41:16How do you feel?
41:18Fantastic.
41:19Did you get three applause breaks?
41:21No.
41:22Three applause breaks, right for your first ever five minutes?
41:25I'm so tough for you, pal.
41:27Thanks for all your help.
41:28It was so great.
41:29It was great fun.
41:31I don't know what's next.
41:32I just want to keep challenging myself and trying to get that feeling that I got tonight.
41:38It was just an unbelievable feeling.
41:41I question myself a lot.
41:43I'm always overthinking, and I want to try and stop that.
41:47I want to just accept that I'm all right.
41:50I think doing things like this is good for me.
41:52I just want to be all right and just go, do a decent job.
41:57Pat yourself on the back and sleep well.
41:58Stop stressing.
42:02I've been so terrified about stand-up, and yet I did it, and it was great.
42:05And all of my worst fears didn't happen.
42:09Can you draw that same parallel with fatherhood?
42:12I get it.
42:14I get it.
42:17I get it.
42:18Filming this bit with Will, not just the stand-up, but the, you know, the trapeze, and just all the
42:26fear stuff.
42:30Been a lot.
42:33So, I don't know.
42:35If I could do stand-up, which is legit the scariest thing I've ever done, then maybe.
42:40Maybe.
42:53What a song.
42:55Yeah?
42:56It's perfect.
42:57There's a voice that keeps on calling me
43:01Down the road, that's where I'll always be
43:06And every stop I make, I make a new friend
43:10Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again
43:14Maybe tomorrow, I'll wanna settle down
43:20Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on
43:24Down this road, that never seems to end
43:28A new adventure lies just around the bend
43:32So, if you wanna join me for a while
43:37Just grab your hat, we'll travel like that's home or stop
43:42Baby tomorrow, I wanna settle down
43:46Until tomorrow
43:47Dammit tomorrow
43:48Morale
