We are outgunned and we are outmanned, but we have each other. FX is the bear. The final season. All episodes now streaming on Disney plus. Hello, I'm Jimmy Carr and this is Crowdwork, this time from Florida and I talk about everything. The importance of play, America's news cycles and the rapture. So enjoy. Have you been to the strip clubs? Have I been to the strip clubs? No, but I drove past a strip club. My favourite name for a strip club of all time was here in Florida.

0:49It was called the Booby Trap. Tremendous. Which ones would you recommend, sir? Where does your mum work?

1:05Go on, what ones would you recommend?

1:10Go on, what sir? Something's Venus. And you've just gone, don't go there. A man in the balcony has just gone, don't go there. It doesn't clear up on its own. There's pregnant women on stage. There's pregnant women on stage. Oh, there.

1:37Is that not a wonderful thing? No. Do they bother with the lie about I'm at college? If they're like eight months pregnant? Nah. You know what this is.

1:55Is that a real thing for Tampa then? Are there a lot of strip clubs? The capital of the nation. What, sorry? The capital of the nation for strip clubs. The capital of the nation. For strip clubs. Okay. Well, in fairness, it is hot here. I imagine a lot of young women are sitting around in high school thinking, oh, what am I going to do with my life? I'm bloody boiling, I might take my clothes off. Ting! What do you think of Florida? I would say Florida is, it's like someone's taken America and gone, no, turn it up a bit. Turn it up, turn it to 11. Ah!

2:48You sound like a broken dolphin when you laugh. I sound like a broken dolphin when I laugh. Does anyone fancy a quick game of man who has definitely sexually assaulted a dolphin? Oh, I wouldn't. I wouldn't.

3:06That's what a dolphin sounds like when you break them. Creepy fucker. You're the reason SeaWorld got shut down. It's just called a blowhole. They don't like it.

3:27Full-time lesbians in? Oh, you're a full-time. Hi, what's your name? Kayla. Kayla. Hi, Kayla. What do you do, Kayla? I mean, I've seen the films, I know what you do. What, what?

3:39You're a what, sorry? A nurse intern. A nurse intern. Fucking tremendous. Good on ya. Well, look.

3:48She's not even a fucking nurse yet. What do you want? What are we applauding? The idea she might be one day? I don't fucking know, man.

3:58A lesbian nurse? You're in a lot of categories of porn that I enjoy.

4:06Did the algorithm send you?

4:18Hang on, we've already established there were no teens in.

4:27What's the hardest part about being a dad? What's the hardest part about being a dad? It's, it's, there are no hard parts to being a dad. Being a great dad is like being a very mediocre mum.

4:50I'm Jewish. I want a career-ender. You're Jewish. You want a career-ender? Well, you won't get one from me. For God's sake, yes. I want something like that. You seem fucking hammered.

5:13Are you trying to date rape yourself?

5:18I'm going to take two roofies and see where the night takes me. What the...

5:26I don't know about a career ender, you're a fucking homewrecker, I would say.

5:32Now, where are you sitting? I was... I was... Ro-X. Ro-X. Okay, now, the person that you're with is obviously... Well, they may have died of shame by now. Hi. Are you the designated driver? Yeah? Maybe she doesn't need to wear a seatbelt.

6:01Let's see how we do. It's very nice to have you here. Now go and sit down like fucking everyone else. Jesus.

6:20Does your freakishly large head cause you trouble? Does my freakishly large head cause me trouble getting through customs? You know I can see you.

6:38Baked potato that got its wish to be a real boy.

6:48I don't have a freakishly large head sir. What I've got, which you do not possess, is a neck.

7:06So your head naturally looks smaller if it just kind of bleeds out.

7:14What do you do for a living, sir? I think we can rule out personal trainer.

7:20What do you do at a desk? I'm a fire commissioner. You're a fire commissioner? Yeah, that building needs to burn down. What do you mean a fire commissioner? What's that? A political job. A political job, so you're in charge of the fire department. Fucking excellent.

7:43I'm gonna give him a hard time. He's doing fucking sterling work. What do you think about Latino women? What do I think about Latino women? I think, like, you would probably break me.

7:58I would describe you madam, what's your name? Eliana. Eliana, I would describe you as a two-man job.

8:11I don't think a British man is ready for that jelly.

8:18What's that mean? His parents are British. His parents are British? Yeah, but this guy's working out in the same McDonald's as this guy.

8:34Do you eat food? Do you eat food?

8:41I know I'm from overseas, but... What is it like in Britain? Do you eat food? I live in Britain, do you eat? Yes, no, I eat food. Look, there's a difference between Britain and America, okay? We've got, you know, eat whatever you want. Right, buffets? Eat whatever you want, and you've got eat whatever you can. There's an element of challenge. I'm gonna be a bunch. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

9:21What are your friends? What are you saying? I want you to become Ariana Grande. You don't want me to become Ariana Grande? I think you're gonna be alright.

9:32The time, the chance of me becoming a diminutive singer, I would say, yeah. Don't get wicked. Okay. It's very good though. Traffic in America! What's that? Traffic in America! Traffic in America? Yes, well that's how you get the children to have sex with. They need to be trafficked here.

10:01I'm only in Florida to see Epstein. What do you mean he's gone? What?

10:08What? What's the name? Marriage after 60. Marriage after 60? You fucking might as well. Marriage is traditionally a lifelong commitment. How many years have you got left?

10:25It's like that guy if he gets sent away for life. You might as well start committing crimes. You get sent away for life, what have you got, six months?

10:36You're a chili cheesesteak away from a coronary.

10:44Even clapping that, I felt like that could be it.

10:53You're my favorite bite-sized bobblehead. I'm your favorite bite-sized bobblehead. Well, thank you.

11:04I do have quite a bobbly hand. I should be in the back of a car somewhere. If you ran for office? If I ran for office, yes. What would your slogan be? I'll be a better firefighter than this fat shit.

11:28So you got caught in the crossfire there. The environment. The environment. It's a weird one, the environment, because, I mean, for me, you can go net zero, but there's no solutions, there's only trade-offs. You can go net zero, but only if you don't give a fuck about poor people. Because it affects poor... In fact, energy becomes more expensive, and there's energy is prosperity, isn't it? In the abstract. So you've got... Everything you buy has got energy in it, so you've got to keep the prices down.

12:02True story. I was a 16-year-old having a wank at my parents' porn. I stopped mid-stroke as I turned the page and saw my mum, lover's guide, hardback edition. Where's... where's this guy?

12:25Is he phoning in? What was that? Whose mum was in the lover's guide? Is there some kind of... What's going on with the phones? I was going for a rather. What, sorry? I was going for a rather. Okay. Maybe. Go on, where's the guy? Hi. Are you saying your mum was the model for the lover's guide? She was in the book. She was in the book? I think I might... What was your mum called? Because I used to work with a woman in an advertising company in London who was the girl from the lovers guide books a Little before my time. I'm older than I look. I mean a lot of this is new, but

13:14When was this book from?

13:201960 something I think it might be fucking true

13:29I'm not giving up. I am selling the building. The final season of FX is the bear. The restaurant is flooded. Everything's either going to be okay. Or not. We are outgunned and we are outmanned. We have each other. FX is the bear. The final season. All episodes now streaming on Disney+. Well, God bless your mum. I know, awkward for you, but I think she got a lot of us through some very difficult years. Pre-internet porn, we had to fucking make do. Did he finish? We'll find out. Did you finish, sir? Yeah.

14:22I can imagine your therapist drives a Ferrari.

14:30Was I funny as a kid? Was I funny as a kid? Fucking hilarious. But everyone was funny when they were a kid. Every one of you was funny as a kid. You just fucking stopped.

14:45We don't stop playing because we get old. We get old because we stop playing. And this is play. This is play. I'm of the opinion we are the playing animal. Everything in society that we love, the whole of society itself, is based on play. Like, if you drop one human in the jungle, you've fed the animals. Drop ten humans in a jungle, you've got an apex predator. Our great advantage is working together, cooperation. and cooperation is downstream of play. We learn to work together through playing. Anything you give a fuck about is play, whether it's sports you go and see, whether it's theatre, whether it's comedy, whether it's music, playing is everything.

15:29And the reason you're here this evening is you might think naively, I'm the only one performing. You're all performing in the audience. We're all playing our part. It's just fun, isn't it? I love it. More play. You look like JD Vance minus eyeliner and fat. What, sorry? You look like JD Vance minus eyeliner and fat. I look like JD Vance minus eyeliner and fat.

16:00Well, I could get eyeliner and fat.

16:05Could substitute me in. What don't I like? What about Florida? Well, I mean, I would argue the mobility scooter...

16:25...should really be a privilege, not a right. Here's my point here. I don't want to be cruel, but I think there must be a day, the day before you get a mobility scooter, when you're eating 15 fucking doughnuts.

16:46Fucking a walking difficult, isn't it? Walking difficult. I think I might be eating too much. I think that may be the day you go in for the mobility scooter, they go fucking walk you out of the shop. Not there's anyone in the mobility scooter. I've got a check. Legit wheelchair, no problem. Legit wheelchair, yes. No fat lazy cunts in here.

17:21What's he ever done that reminds me of me? Sometimes he shits his pants, yeah. Ah, the old days.

17:38What's the funniest news story? What's the... what's the... sorry? The funniest news story. The funniest news story this year. I'll be honest with you, I don't think it's been a bumper year for fun news. I don't know if you've just woken up from a coma and gone, I might ask him about the news, it's been quite light, hasn't it? How much Tylenol did my mother take during pregnancy? How much Tylenol did my mother take during pregnancy?

18:21Excellent. No notes.

18:27Have you got to shoot while you're going to the US? Have I got to what? Go shooting. Have I got to go shooting? Are you here?

18:37Well, you can just volunteer and join ICE for the day, can you? I can deportize you real quick. What's it? Go on. Open carry starts tomorrow. Open carry starts tomorrow? Yeah!

18:55I think we've got a Texan. This guy feels like he's... It feels like you've looked at America and gone, I'm turning up to 11. Fucking yes. Why would you need a gun? Why not? Why not? Because you look as if you could take a bullet, frankly. I don't know what you're made out of, but it looks like you would just go bang. Me no like.

19:20What do you do? I'm going to rule out gynecologist. I can't imagine anyone's walking into an obs and gynae office and being met by fucking Hulk. Go on, what do you... Directional drilling. What's that? Directional drilling. Directional drilling? Yes. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. You guys know what you're about. What was he gonna say? I wanted to run... I was gonna say, is anyone here half lady, half crow? Oh, there's one! The fuck was that?

20:03We're all thinking it. Tylenol! What happened with the rapture? What happened with the rapture? Has it happened and they didn't take me? I mean, you might get, but... I imagine the rapture will just go, Florida, no further questions. Passed by.

20:26We'll be in Oklahoma looking for good people, if you need us. Why, was the rapture meant to happen? What, sorry? It was meant to happen today? and then open carry starts tomorrow.

20:44So hang on. So it's meant to be the rapture today, open carry tomorrow. What's Friday? The purge? It has got to a stage in America where if Donald Trump came out tomorrow and announced Friday was the purge, we'd all go, okay. Okay, well, I guess we'll have to crack on.

21:07Scat! Immigration! What do you do when you're in the front two seats and the girl just wants to be your friend? Are you in the friend zone here? Apparently so. Let me just check in for you. Happy to help. What's your name, madam? Hi, Jessica. Now, I don't know what your relationship is like with your father, but if you want to get back at him, this could be ideal.

What's going on there? What's your name, my friend? Mario. What the fuck is security going to do if you kick off? Look at the size of it. If you're here, who's holding the door open?

22:37Hold on. What? Are you enjoying the show? I presume this is how he communicates. What do you do, my friend? You run a nightclub? Yes. And can I ask how is the cocaine business I
