This is me in Sofia, where I did a gig and met some people that were strangers at one of my shows and then came back and were married.

0:42So yeah, watch out if you come and see me live. That could happen. What makes you cry? What makes you cry? Uh, the sort of sub-dom stuff I do with your mum?

0:56I was chatting to the crew here about like what's going on in Bulgaria and they said there's a big Make Bulgaria great again movement And I said what do you mean again?

1:14The fuck are you talking about make a Bulgaria great again like back in the old days. We had many more donkeys.

1:29We don't want the euro. No. We want to keep our own currency. Just like the British? Just like the British. Wow. I don't know if you've heard of the pound, but I've not heard of whatever the fuck you people are using.

1:51What sorry? What sorry? Yes You break it you buy it

2:12What's my favorite thing about Bulgaria?

2:19I don't know, it's pretty mental as a place. It's crazy fucking friendly, but it's like, I don't know, we sort of drove in today cross-country. So, yeah. I feel like I fucking got a time machine to work. I feel about two hours that way, I feel like, fucking hell, it's the 1880s. What the fuck is going on? There's people living in half-built shacks. What's your name, my friend? We don't marry our cousins!

2:54Sorry, a guy just shouted, at least we don't marry our cousins.

3:00In a way that suggests to me, that's definitely a problem. If you're living in a nation where we don't marry our cousins is a flex, I think you know you're fucked.

3:23Now I never married my cousin. Yeah. Oh, we used to fuck a little bit. Yeah, but we never... It never got serious. I'm not ready for that kind of commitment. What would my sister say?

3:41Have a threesome with me and my girlfriend. Have a threesome with you and your girlfriend? So I'm thrilled. Thank you. I think we both know you're going to be sitting in the cuck chair while I fuck him.

4:00Oh, he's right. I will teach a Captain Bibble without biting.

4:10Can I just say to whoever brought him, I really admire what you people do.

4:18Captain people biting bite the fuck are you talking about?

4:27How do you how do you how do you teach a cat to nibble? Without bound biting okay, so he wants us to know he's fucked his cat

4:50OK.

4:57Well, you can't see him, but I'm having a conversation with Fat Jesus.

5:07Well, the good news is Jesus is back. The bad news is he's found the buffet.

5:21OK.

5:26Good luck finding a cross that will fucking hold that.

5:39How do I manage the second show? My friend, I work for four hours a day maximum.

5:50I mean, I'm not digging fucking ditches here. I'm calling this cunt fat Jesus. This is a pleasure.

6:09My problem with work is... Work is more fun than fun. The fuck am I going to do with the night off? Fucking sit at home. Rubbish here. Do you have a cat?

6:36I do, but he bites and he won't nibble.

6:47Did you come to Bulgaria for the beautiful girls and age of consent? Why else would you visit this shithole of a country? I don't want to sound creepy, but what is the age of consenting? What's going on? What's going on? 14. There's a young lady I'd like to speak to.

7:12Sorry, how old did you say you were? What's going on? 13, so it's still be exciting for me.

7:23Are you serious? Is it 14? The age of consent is 14. I'll say it again. Okay. The age of consent here is 14. That means at some point in your fine nation, someone has stood in a court of law and said, she looked 14 to me.

7:52Fucking hell, Bulgaria.

8:00What's going on? I'm going to stay now.

8:10It's a fucking, it's a really, okay, it's like at some point, at some point, the Bulgarian tourist board sat down and went we have nothing

8:23I want blue sky thinking what could we do to attract tourism I have a crazy idea go on say it's crazy what we lower the edge of consent to 14 I'm listening

8:48I bet you were fucking heartbroken when Andrew Tate chose Romania

8:55But we had a plan for you

9:00Hey Jimmy, what do you think is the best time in a relationship to introduce your partner to your parents?

9:1414.

9:18That's a very good answer. This is my long term. My long term. We've been dating for 10 years. Jesus.

9:34I'd go early. Go early with the parent intro. But also, eh. Your parents don't have to fuck them, what do they care?

9:47More sorry?

9:51Sorry, you sound like a guy that would go, This is my new girlfriend. Mum, Dad, this is my girlfriend. And your parents would go, We know your sister.

10:03Which famous movie would you turn into a porn film and why?

10:11Frozen?

10:18Your first thought is frozen. What?

10:30Stop it. I mean, Schindler's List is a good answer, but...

10:37The shower scene, you've already got tissues out. Frozen, I'm very interested in that. Frozen, the fucking porn movie.

10:50Let it go, let it go.

11:00Maybe it's BDSM. Maybe it's like someone with a fucking ball gag. Let me go, let me go!

11:12Olaf is the comic interlude. Yeah, could be good. Hm, we'll do it. What's wrong? Action, Sparky!

11:27Got the head of the tourist board here again. Maybe he's from the Bulgarian Film Institute. We have nothing. I have a crazy idea. We're making a movie. The kids are gonna love it. Let it go.

11:54If animals could complain on social media, what status would your cat post about you? If my cat could communicate, I think he would probably say, I don't like nibbling, I like biting.

12:18You fucking maniac. Yeah, I like pussy. No, not like that.

12:28Your show nine years ago, This episode is brought to you by ChatGPT. Hey, it's Bill Simmons from the Bill Simmons Podcast. Have you guys heard about ChatGPT work?

And when you need more than just answers, give ChatGPT work access to your apps and files, and it can create real work documents like spreadsheets, slides, and structured reports.

Thanks very much. So sweet, man. Thank you.

14:06The woman next to Fat Jesus looks so fucking nervous right now.

14:19What's that going to be like? It's going to be like a wardrobe falling on you with a key in it. Do you know why necrophiliacs prefer corpses three to five years old? Okay, you sound like Dracula.

14:35Just a tip, just you know, man to man, never speak again in public. You creepy motherfucker.

14:55The master will see you now.

15:00You freaky little fucker.

15:06Why is your suit so bigger than your body? Why is your suit so bigger than your body? Syntax, no grammar.

15:18Why is my suit bigger than my body? Well, if it was smaller than my body, it would be inside me.

15:25Clothing always has to be a little bit bigger, because it has to go round. I don't really know how to explain this to you. It seems like... I feel like it's an obvious thing, but it's so obvious, it's difficult to... Yes, my clothes are bigger than my body, because otherwise I would be naked if you just had little tiny clothes.

15:53We found you guys a friend.

15:57If you had to, how would you kill yourself? If I had to, how would I kill myself? I think I would drown in pussy.

16:08I've just...

16:12I've just got to figure out how to get them wet.

16:24If you're so rich and famous, why do you have to come every time to Bulgaria for a day time?

16:35If I'm so rich and famous, why, why, why I come to Bulgaria?

16:43What what do you do for living my friend You're an architect do you fucking love your job?

16:56I Fucking love my job. I love traveling. I love coming here. I genuinely I Fucking love it I love the fact I was chatting the other day to I know Louis CK's coming here to do shows right this room I mean for me maybe the goat maybe the greatest of all time but that thing of like going we've got the same attitude I was chatting to him the other day you come to these fucking great places you do comedy like the fact that we're The early ones that come here Everyone's gonna end up coming here right and then it will start a comedy scene and there'll be more stuff There'll be more gigs, but it's fucking great that you guys come out.

17:54Poor Mona looks mortified.

18:00What, sorry? Ask her to come on stage

18:11Do you mind masturbating up here?

18:20Do you mean come on to the stage? I think even if she's a squirter she'd struggle to

18:31What are your kinks?

18:36That's the voice of a man that spent a bit too much time on a chat room. Yeah, this seems like a very reasonable question.

18:48I don't know whether you'd call it a kink, but I like it when your mum turns the light off.

18:56How to deal with a pedophile teacher in school. What's your name, sir? Martin. What's your name? Martin. Martin. And what age are you, Martin? 18. 18? I think you're going to be all right.

19:16I mean, you're an 18-year-old lad. You're a fully grown fucking man is what you are. If someone interferes with you, what the fuck? I don't know, don't neglect the balls.

19:36Mona, write that down.

19:43It's having the worst night out ever. Any other? Some advice for the virgins? Some advice for the virgins. I would say, what age you, sir? I'm 16. 16. Don't worry about it, man. Don't worry about it. People are in such a fucking hurry to have sex. And it's that weird thing where, I don't know. If you're weight, fucking weight, you'll be absolutely fucking fine. The issue really with being a 16-year-old, it's fucking hard to be a 16-year-old boy, right? because you're kind of not attractive yet. It doesn't matter how good looking you are, because girls aren't looking for looks. You think because you look for looks in a girl, you think she'll look for looks in you.

20:30She's not looking for looks. What women like is competence. And it takes a while to get competent. Have you ever wondered why, like, the billionaires are attracted to women, but also the guy that fixes the boiler is attractive to women? What do those two have in common? competence.

20:50I'll give you dating advice, my young friend. I'll give you some dating advice, right? Get your shit together. Stop asking what you want in the world and start thinking about what you can offer and you'll get pussy for days. Good luck.

21:13Also, don't worry about losing your virginity. You'll be fucking fine. I buy gold with a pure gold company. I do it as a store of wealth and to protect against inflation. Now I'm not a qualified financial advisor. If anything, I'm the opposite. I'm sort of a red flag. But I'm not a shill. I wouldn't try and sell you something I wouldn't buy myself.
