Room 101, Series 7, Episode 6. Holly Walsh, Stephen Mangan, Phil Wang. 30 Mar 2018

[Music] and welcome to room 101 my three complainers tonight are right for a gripe Stephen Mangan prone to a moan Phil Wang and inclined to wine Holly Walsh so what's my team feel angry where is Tom Hiddleston gets me angrier than any event from history we don't need Tom Hiddleston Eddie Redmayne and Benedict Cumberbatch one of them is superfluous they also basically the same purpose we only need something bad and then if Cumberbatch gets injured will let Redmayne out the cage and if Redmayne gets injured we just don't make the film because Tom Hiddleston's all for he's just he's completely unaware of himself he's someone who's just been told his entire life that he's wonderful and he just offers these displays of talents he doesn't have let me start up there might be someone in the audience who doesn't know Tom Hiddleston is and he's I would say probably most famous for playing Loki the evil brother of Thor that's that's him as Loki I think he came on the tube and it meant he didn't have to hold on to the my problem with it is I do think it's a really really good actor my problems is with him as a person because I you know there's so many actors now that you know they're quite replaceable oh sorry he says it's very easy listening to this have you ever met him he was my best man [Laughter] no I I mean I I haven't met him but I tell I guess you always up for the same part says well of course I look for the guy look for the good in people and I just assume that he can't be as awful as he comes across and every interview he does I've not watched much of his acting because I hate him so much I can't bring myself to watch him do anything he just does these performances for people he sang man in the mirror in Korea which is ironic because man in the mirror is about self reflection singing man in Korea the sort of famous for his impressions famous for them rather than in any way respected here here is Tom being Jacko the winter coat this wind is blowing my mind and a clean sweep and mop to eat my mind pretending not to see their hell me fellows is regard I'm broken battle and one man so he can hear everyone is screaming he just keeps going you're running for the exits ping over each other I - what I love about it I was North Korea's a lot of people said it was the worst thing that ever happened [Applause] no I love I keep thinking LLL stop I'm just completely unaware that he isn't great at everything he's like a toddler who just grew in size and in no other way I just think my my mind I can do is I listen to me hey hey Mike singing I'm Tom Hiddleston I'm Loki yeah it's just he he just thinks he can maybe I'm jealous I guess maybe I'm jealous yeah that was so the elephant in the room even the archers lit the room in half ah where to begin let's start with a theme tune which manages to be jaunty and terrifying it's like it was written by the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang [Music] if it comes on the radio I have to fly across the room and turn off it's the most I do that in because this this is me no in the car right just driving what you thinking is an early warning system makes me feel physically sick just that music it's the worst thing that humanity has ever produced yeah and then there's the program itself very very very boring I mean I love radio drama I do quite a lot of radio drama not after this but I have in the past and I love radio drama I think it's great it's really an intimate medium you're talking to people right into their ear but because because you can't see the actors there are certain things that have to be done to let them know what's going on you have to say the characters names every single scene at the beginning with hello Norma oh hello Brian who's that with you Brian Oh Norma this is Tony Tony meet Norma and bra hello Tony hi guys I'm Tony every time anyone does anything they have to let you know vocally that they're doing it so he passed me that box full of chickens oh here we go it's always effort noises drive me nuts any emotion has to be flagged up oh hello Brian you're looking sad today yes I am but the main problem I have with it it's been going for 625 years it's never gonna end please please put us out of our misery Wow one of the things I like about it is that thing of explaining what someone's doing so that they they use a sound effect but they haven't quite got confidence in it so I'll give you an example here we go [Music] [Laughter] [Applause] that's what I'm talking about one more [Music] could you turn the water off see sponge that's a very shiny looking tractor [Laughter] I don't know about you but I can picture I can picture that track there is a great tradition of the of the Foley man yeah and I don't know if you know about this but this is the person who does the sound effects for radio and it's it's brilliant stuff so this is the technical Foley microphone here so if someone has a drink in a bar and they want ice in E they they use Domino's and they go up oh yeah I love her gin and tonic please Louise cuz ice obviously is quite hard to get hold off what about this this is a it's a sort of a mock leather bag of corn flour can you guess what this is for I'll give you a clue it's for the sort of wintry versions its trudging through the snow here we go Dave I'll come your trudging through the snow on this show I'd love to be able to go say okay look I'm gonna put that in room 101 I mean that would make me so happy I enjoyed that no the next round okay what's upsetting Holly oh this is making friends with your own mix instructor this is a real pet peeve of mine I've done a lot of aerobics over the years in various guises does it still happen yeah yeah well they're variations like nowadays they've sort of trended them up a bit so they've got like like my local gym does Bhangra beats which is so asian-inspired music eat okay I always think what they do is similar thing in India do have like Morris blast it'll working out with tissues thoughts aerobics of God I mean aerobics in the sort of 80cents of the words yeah has been updated but the idea of group exercise classes is alive and well somebody said to me there's an aerobics class I would be looking for Pepsi and surely yeah I mean in every aerobics class I've ever been to there's a couple of people like this who who runs of high fiving terms with the aerobics instructor and that really upsets me that really they're the equivalent of the sort of people who stand at the front of the bus to talk to the driver they they have incredible asses that's such a weird thing used to get that all the time and when people got on the bus they would sort of stand back like this as if to say I'm legitimately here because I'm a friend of the driver as if that would make everyone really envious well wish I knew a bus driver what are these guys after from me all right lonely people I think I mean lonely people who've thrown themselves into sport and I think that's what I upsets me most by is that they they look like they're having a good time and I just don't think you should look like you're having a good time when you're doing exercise that's not the point the agreement is we are only here so that we can eat more crisps when I'm doing aerobics I want to catch the eye of somebody else who hates it as much as I do and then see people enjoy it really upsets me I did um hula hoop classes because I have personal space issues it was quite when once you get it worked out it's like being Saturn we saw that good so I I think I did get enthusiastic about it cuz the first couple of times I went I eat just kept landing on the floor once I got here I wanted the world to know but did he do that as a group exercise or what or like did he have a private hula he Finster oh no I was the only man in there any man I think in a group exercise class that's got some explaining to do I always thought those exercise class which is full of people high-fiving each other no there's only a couple of people who do it and everybody else knows that that's not on so did they sit at the front of like teachers pay really yes they exactly like that and they've bought all the kit I suppose what I find ironic about this is if you're going to those classes in a way somewhere inside you you want to be those people no I just want to eat cake more often that's it now we have a clip of a man now this is what I imagine everyone dreams of who goes through any kind of fitness thing to be so fit and so strong but you just can't hold back your excitement [Music] that's the only reason why he bought an extra chair I'd like to be cut to like two hours later and he's still on the tooth and there's a small child standing next to him saying what kind of a fiver so I'm not gonna put the artisan I think it's - I think it's loved by people who've got nothing in their lives apart from the art middle-class Southerners I'm sorry but I love Thomas low-key so much that I can forgive him even is in noddies impressions but I can forgive him so many other things young the only thing needed for Tom Hiddleston to succeed is for good men to do nothing I'm just following orders so I am gonna put those people who feel the need to make friends with their aerobic instructors into room 101 [Applause] okay so what it's winding up Steven people who don't pick up their dog poo yes it's disgusting it's revolting this doesn't really apply if you live in the country if you live in the country you're basically saying I love poo in all its varieties please spread it on the fields in the meadows on the lanes I'm happy with it but if you live in the city most of us do we live a lot of us in a very confined space and yes you may love your dog the size of a pony that you keep in your one-bedroom flats when you go out for a walk and it does its fecal disaster all over the pavement pick it up because it's revolting mmm the rest of us don't want to skip through it on the morning if I see someone now standing next to their dog and the dog it's a horrible thing to what I always think all the tension and angst of living in 21st century Britain can be seen in a dog's face when it's in there but I oh I watch people now a wonder and I it will they or won't they pick it up yeah and most people do I host people do what people do sometimes now is I found it's they bag the poo they tie it up and then they throw it in the roads when cars come along it's like a little poop oh oh that's not on either now it's only half the job but if you know that you can let your dog is gonna cool you should be prepared shouldn't you yeah and if you haven't got a bag with you pick it up put it in your pocket well I always think look if you're carrying one of these anyone I have got it on to the tenth floor of local flats beauty that is you don't even have to you could just hold that underneath them waiting for it to drop out I like mr. whippy with it yeah well funnily enough and this is absolutely true story have you seen these sort of mittens that people wear for picking them off oh I saw a woman I swear this is true a dog exactly that a dog got into the terrible and she just just the thought of the warm but she went underneath it and I went past I could not resist saying as that and there was some dispute whether it had carried or not we had to call her I've got solution for this people who do community service you Satan Satan them in the morning there'll be a few in yeah hold off your morning motion and send him round to an offender's house and just carpet-bomb this front step here's a contraption you might like this is a I think a very clever invention which could solve this problem easily it can get very messy when your pet goes in the house or on the sidewalk or even your neighbor's lawn we have the answer for you introducing p-trap an amazing new innovation picking up after your dog poo trap is a unique new product that fits any sized dog without any hassles and your pets will love it too who trap the magic poop collector it's not magic is it last fit when it comes up I really want to hear negatives about Doug because I remember when I was a kid there's a huge thing most no-profit one as a kid there's a big it was a big hell thing that dog poo cause blindness remember there's like a parasite in dog poo and I even when I was a kid I remember thinking that seems a little bit too convenient because well you know if dog poo causes blindness what is the only animal that gets jobs off the blind next thing you're gonna tell me cap who makes old women lonely let's let's find out what's upsetting Holly okay this is changing your surname after you get married hmm I think this is gonna six women if you've inherited cerebral surnames yeah yeah I I didn't change my name when they got married there's various there's a sort of feminist level which I find objectionable I don't like the fact that there's a sort of certainly map ownership happens when you when you get married starting from when you get engaged you know you have to wear an engagement ring but the man doesn't and you just feel like an old pub with a banner on the front saying under new management I can understand the argument when people say oh I want to be part of a unit I want our family to have the same name I understand that argument I just think in that case just choose an amazing team name you know like they do on The Apprentice just just wait wait till you get to the end and the vicar's like I now pronounce you endeavour finally I've got a son he doesn't have the same we don't have the same surname and every time I go through passport control this someone sort of looks at me like I've stolen someone's kids and that's like Liam Neeson moment just there would you consider hyphenation for your child I think that works well for us but for the next generation like they gonna have to quadruple barrel names right yes kid up to sound like a Tory backbenchers it's a double-barreled name person marries a double-barrel it's gonna it's not gonna be a surname it's gonna be more like a midfield yeah I always sort of fantasized that when I get married my wife wouldn't take my surname and I'd be hailed as this new feminist God but my current my current girlfriend and I don't mean to say that so pessimistically but my girlfriend we've spoken about marriage and she said she wants to take my name's actively wants to take Wang because she thinks it'd be funny she thinks she's a white lady and she thinks it and she's a doctor and she thinks it'd be really funny if like the nurse said doctor Wang will see you now and then a white lady comes around the car I got so I'm going to look like a misogynist cuz she wants to play practical jokes on her patients I wish women didn't because it's so difficult to Google women who you fancied at school my mom took my dad's name I called them both dad see what I had to do when I knew you were gonna do this he's find out some people who'd got together to get married and whose names when put together were comical simple as that all genuine here we go first one hardy-har literally Ella next I don't know which one it's referring to but they all benefit next certainly made her hair come the other solution is to marry someone he's got the same surname as you that's Mike yeah well your sister [Applause] anyway I hate to buff is this having a buff I hate it it's disgusting I have showers because when you have a shower the water droplets fall on your body they grab the dirt and they fall down your body I shower standing up I don't know about you guys but then flows down into the drain and you say bye but if the bath water just kind of picks a dirt off your groin and your bum and then just kind of wait then just stays there and it flows into your mouth and up you know so we can only conclude that bath takers are perverts we like to drink their own muck you don't come out of a bath cleaner you just are more uniformly dirty if a murderer comes in you're dead if you're in a bath if you're on a shower you stood up you're ready to go if you're in a bathtub and this guy's got a nags you flopping around like a fish it's pathetic you your last moments should be so embarrassing give you see the film psycho well that was more to do with the cuts and I don't have I was the curtains you're standing up in the shower it washes everything off you but it doesn't go up your passage does it so you will constantly have a dirty passage whereas if you have a bath once in a while you'll have a bathtub you can't even reach a passage on the car because you put soap in your hands and you put it in the water and then the soap washes off your hands and then you've got a bear hand up your passage unless you turn over in the tub so you're facedown on your passages water left and then you reach around and get soap on your hands and then but then the drowning problem again the murderer comes in and he sees that sorry to put the knife the race the main reason I don't bath ever is clean in the bath I I bath once a week and that's the dieter cleaner comes you wait in for her she can't be without acts you have to clean a shower as well don't you once a week fine one of the most disappointing things when I first started going out with girls I always imagined that the height of sexiness was sharing a bath together police constable most on path and I always get the taps end we started trying to be sexy at gunpoint I'll tell what I've got oh yeah I've never invented anything in my life if most people say they've got one invention in their heads that they've add and they never do anything about I had this idea and the idea is that you plug this in in the bath and then you fill the bath go downstairs have a cup of tea or whatever and if you forget this will float on the surface and when it gets to a certain height it'll pull the plug out so the bath can never overflow don't bathtubs already have an outlet flow beneath the time I'm out I am not as much as I respect the women's libbers I'm not gonna put in people who change their name because I think it's all about choice isn't it ultimately Phil I don't bath personally I agree with you I don't know [ __ ] my face in something in which I've marinated I below the belt areas but some people do like it especially the elderly I think you find the shower a challenge so I'm not gonna put it in I think I would not be able to sleep tonight if I did not put into the dark vault people who don't pick up their dogs poo and it goes [Applause] and that brings us to the end of the show well done Stephen you were the most persuasive guest so you are this week's winner Stephen Mangan and Holly Walsh and thank you goodnight [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you [Applause]
