    Woke Asian Guy and Egg White

    Woke Asian Guy and Egg White are the dynamic duo who try to discuss the brave new divisive world where people are too scared to offend anybody. We take on controversial subjects and try to break them down into a basic understanding of how we ended up in this emotionally gentrified place. Banter, beers and lots of shouting.

    Episode 32: Just the Tip Ep 32: Woke Asian Guy and Egg White Sitcom Breakdown

    Episode 32: Just the Tip Ep 32: Woke Asian Guy and Egg White Sitcom Breakdown

    In this episode we discuss many frivolous things but mainly the Amanda Holden and Leigh Francis sitcom The Holden Girls and the impact it has on modern culture. Then we talk about other digressions until Wokie’s phone literally overheats. True Story. 

    Want to know more about Amanda Holden and Leigh Francis new series called The Holden Girls: Mandy and Mertyle. Check out the series here.
    https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/the-holden-girls-mandy-and-myrtle/

    Before Wokery was a tool to bash old fashioned sensibilities we all laughed at Bo Selecta until we realised it was wrong. Shortly after that Leigh realised it was wrong and did a tearful eulogy to his wrongful past. Watch him cry here:

    You know Scientology is insane but have a read of the even more insane things that happened:

    We all know L Ron Hubbard was a mental but how batshit mad was he? A lot if you read this:

    Episode 31: Just the Tip Ep 31: Woke Asian Guy and Egg White Afghan Special!

    Episode 31: Just the Tip Ep 31: Woke Asian Guy and Egg White Afghan Special!

    This week Mr Angry Guy (Wokie) read about some white kid who did some dodgy racist stuff and got caught. The doddering old Judge, rather than hit some good ol’ jail time, has made the little pleb read the classics like Dickens and Shakespeare… such an old fashioned way to head-correct a racist mentalist. Anyway the usual angry rant on this madness. 

    After this mini rant we go straight into the belief that the Taliban have suddenly come back with a woke perspective. Who would have thought that they would finally get some good PR? We dissect the new normal for this heavily armed chaps. 

    This is positively the last time we talk about Shane Gillis (yes! He of the offensive Chinatown podcast!) where we advise on the best way to stay safe and try not to get in trouble by bleeping the shizzle out of the podcast so as not to draw attention to any controversy. 

    And to top off the podcast is some ranting from Egg White and then 4 episodes of the sitcom recorded in 2009 and generally not been heard since. 

    Afghan Warlord: The Sitcom is about… you guessed it, an Afghan Warlord assimilating into an English Family living in Surbiton and all the wacky things he does while living there. Sort of Like Channel 4’s Home but on a shoestring budget and made 10 years previously

    Shownotes:

    That twerp who had to read the classics rather than hit the slammer? You can read the story here:

    Episode 30: Just the Tip Ep 30: Woke Asian Guy and Egg White on Diverse Television

    Episode 30: Just the Tip Ep 30: Woke Asian Guy and Egg White on Diverse Television

    On this show, Wokie tries to understand why certain people stay in their lane when watching sitcoms and won’t view anything that is out of their comfort zone. For example some upper middle class friends are scared of HBO’s The Black Lady Sketch and Wokie himself is scared of films like Brakes which is a quirky MOR white people’s comedy (link below). Egg White tries his best to fathom why his friend has lost his sh*t over something small and the jury is still out on the resolution. Oh and we talk about Shane Gillis and his lack of forward thinking censorship.

    We have banged on about this show The Black Lady Sketch Show but is pretty amazing and definitely worth watching.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Black_Lady_Sketch_Show

    Wokie lost his collective sh*t while watching Brakes but what does he know? Here’s a good review of the film. You watch, decide and send me hate filled messages on twitter.
     https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/jun/17/brakes-review-scrappy-but-charming-microbudget-romcom

    Run for your Wife is a close second to the worst film ever made, Plan 9 from Outer Space. This cinematic travesty is worth watching and should be studied in film schools on how not to make films. You have to see it to believe it and even though it has a lot of big names they are all wasted. 
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_for_Your_Wife_(2012_film)

    Run for Your Wife’s real star is super Camp Christopher Biggins who’s role here is like 12 Christopher Biggins in 1. Bargin in that sense.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Biggins

    Read about the godfather of Hip Hop Ladies love Cool James.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LL_Cool_J

    Aah, Shane Gillis… a man who blew up his own career for comedy bantz turned dark. Read about it here and google his chinatown podcast and you decide if it’s comedy or just anti woke hate speech.
    https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/9/16/20869194/shane-gillis-fired-snl-racist-remarks

    As we mention comedy legend Ricky Gervais, it’s time to post the Victor Lewis review of The Office who didn’t see that coming. Legend has it there was a grudge somewhere.

    If you want your eyes to bleed with the man who puts ME-ME-ME in Mentalist follow him here. No matter what’s happening in the world it’s all about Piers bloody Morgan. Also he really doesn’t like Megan Markle because she stiffed him on the friends circuit.

    Episode 29: Just the Tip Ep 29: Woke Asian Guy and Egg White on right wing papers

    Episode 29: Just the Tip Ep 29: Woke Asian Guy and Egg White on right wing papers
    More inane banter about things that are annoying Woke Asian Guy which include divisive rhetoric from the papers and ultra melon Tim Martin of Wetherspoons. We could go into a room and scream through a pillow for five hours but this is much more calming…
    If you stick around to the end we also have a pitch for Chechen Superman which would make an awesome film and some easy listening mentalness to calm the mind.. It’s like Andy Puddicombe’s headspace app but one that has had far too much alcohol

    WAG will be back next time with Egg White to battle the though crimes of the anti woke brigade. Think of Brown Batman and Chintzy Robin and you get the idea

    Shownotes

    We discuss the right wing newspaper that is outraged at locking out posh white people to BBC jobs. Below is the article in question

    Episode 28: Just the Tip Ep 28: Woke Asian Guy and Egg White on Lawrence Fox and a Radio 4 Play
    What’s in a tweet? Not much but when you are anti-woke campaigner Laurence Fox trying to be witty then that says it all really. Here we have a brief deconstruction of the offending tweet and why sometime scrolling through life is not the best way to go chum.

    Also we have an exclusive play about a childhood bond that comes to an end. Sort of like a Radio 4 play (foreplay) on meth. The first unveiling of The Kettle. A love story that rivals Titanic and has the emotions depth of that micro pugilist Herve Villechaize.

    Shownotes

    Episode 27: Just the Tip Ep 27: Woke Asian Guy and Egg White on the Radio 4 Plays

    Episode 27: Just the Tip Ep 27: Woke Asian Guy and Egg White on the Radio 4 Plays
    In this weeks episode we examine some of the current Radio 4 plays that are published and try to examine the individual stories to see if they pass the current woke authent-o-moter. Have the current commissions moved with the times? Do they want to and if so do they want to broaden their audience demographic? Traditionally they are a springboard for aspiring writers but the net has to be cast wider.

    This is a parody episode so don’t think this is our real opinion

    Episode 26: Just the Tip Ep 26: Woke Asian Guy and Egg White on the The Mayoral Election

    Episode 26: Just the Tip Ep 26: Woke Asian Guy and Egg White on the The Mayoral Election
    Just the Tip is back in a brand new format because the last two formats were less than stellar. Instead of giving Life Wins to those with Life Woes we now take semi-topical subjects and break them down from this so called woke perspective. Who says it's not going to be fun?

    Shownotes:

    Episode 25: Just the Tip Ep 25: The Recently Discovered Oscar Wilde Letters

    Episode 25: Just the Tip Ep 25: The Recently Discovered Oscar Wilde Letters
    In a world exclusive and a slight break from helping people, The Fuzzy Dice duo have unearthed previously unseen letters from Mr Wilde to his parents while he signed up to two tours of Vietnam during the hight of the offensive, 1968.

    Totally crazy and improbable right? Well. For anyone who watched Sapphire and Steel or Twin Peaks can attest to… sh*t gets weirder.

    Before anyone else can get their hands on this piece of unique history,
    we are showcasing them exclusively here. For your delicate ear.

    Get into the mind of how a man as majestic as this can field strip a rifle while under enemy fire and bond with his fellow grunts.

    Episode 24: Just the Tip Ep 24: The Ron Pape Takeover

    Episode 24:  Just the Tip Ep 24: The Ron Pape Takeover
    Kit and Sands have had another falling out so Ron Pape: Social Media Influencer is doing a takeover to mercilessly plug his extremely eccentric Get Rich Quick schemes.

    This may sound like an aggressively marketed advertorial but it’s not. It is a podcast where we learn about Ron’s brutal upbringing and just getting to know him as a humble decent human being, incredibly talented and versatile individual.

    Also did we mention Ron’s incredible humanitarian work? He literally saved the incontinent from downing in their own stools.

    Ron has also put him forward as mediator to get Kit and Sands back.

    Episode 23: Just the Tip Ep 23: The Help Letters

    Episode 21: Just the Tip Ep 21: The Nintendo Switch Workout
    For this podcast episode, Kit decides to stay indoors and create less of a risk to himself by playing along with an exercise game on the Nintendo Switch. You can’t cause that much damage unless you are a repressed deranged lunatic.

    I know what you are thinking. Why are you doing a visual game in a audio world? Well dear listeners it is because bantz is bantz and we guide you through how this digital health obsessed world operates.

    Below some show notes to make you smarter:

    Sands says Ying and Yang, not Yin and Yang for the proper pronunciation here is the wikipedia article

    Just the Tip Ep 20: The Rebrand to Mind and Body Health
    We made it to Episode 20 in the same way an 80 year old wakes up in the morning glad for another day of gardening. This is the rebrand. Who thought we’d run out of steam talking a lot of cobblers but we did!

    We are now Just the Tip Mind and Body Health and this Episode 20/New Episode 1Point2Point-0 is where Kit will show us his mindset when it comes to exercising. This all sounds like a professional approach in the vain of SuperProJoeWickes but as you indulge your ears it doesn’t go as planned.

    So listen in on this show and feel like you are on the Titanic about to hit an iceberg.

    Just the Tip Ep 19: Revenge of the Trolling/ WhatsApp/ Sauce

    Just the Tip Ep 19: Revenge of the Trolling/ WhatsApp/ Sauce
    The First of three sections in our latest podcast before we have brand refresh.

    1- Revenge of the Trolling Part Deux

    This is where Kit again goes mental and starts making ‘’anonymous” calls pretending to be various celebrities but this time we HAVE PRIZES TO GIVE AWAY! Not good prizes but some old tat dug out from the back cupboard that nobody bought off eBay.
    For this you need to guess all the celebrities that Kit impersonates and some of them are quite difficult. Also another Boris Johnson one thrown in like a live humours hand grenade.

    All the answers will be on our website www.fuzzydice.co.uk

    2- The WhatsApp podcast

    How many people take their WhatsApp banter and make into a compelling piece of melodrama? We do! An entire weeks worth of back and forth has been magically transformed into a David Mamet style sweary twisted tale. Kit still can’t get over that the Urban Monologue shorts Sands did were done solo and not as part of a team.
    Even the Emojis are spelled out!

    3- The Sauce

    Sands dials in Kit to surprise him with an impromptu pod but…. Well what can I say? Oops. We may have dived into someone’s saucy evening.

    The Urban Monologues skits have been posted on our FaceBook Page so please do check it out. Also click the subscribe button to get more content.

    Just the Tip Ep 18: The Awkwardness

    Just the Tip Ep 18: The Awkwardness
    After Sands last week went rogue with all the random phone messages this episode deals with the awkward fallout of that. Who knows where the pod chat will go? Also Kit has his nose bent out of shape as Sands is making his own side projects.

    The Osmo Mobile 3 is a great gimbal to run and film stuff and generally be a pretentious twat. If you can afford an iPhone then you can definitely afford this.

    When you don’t have a cameraman because all your friends are major alcoholics and you need to frame stuff correctly use the Filmic pro App in the Apple Watch.

    Just the Tip Ep 17: The Sands Takeover
    Yes, sands has done a Radio 1Xtra style takeover in Kit’s (enforced) absense and getting worried over the amount of ‘’celebrity calls” coming in. It’s a slow emotional breakdown… of the calls, not Sands

    Just the Tip Ep 15: Television Censorship... again!

    Just the Tip Ep 15: Television Censorship... again!
    This episode dealt with the current controversy of blackface and politically incorrect shows so there is a lot of show notes links to be created. Especially for Millennials and Americans who don’t know the dodgy television history that Britain created.

    Little Britain has taken a lot of stick recently for the blacking up scenes. Do you agree it should be taken down or not? Read the controversy
    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jun/13/blacking-up-was-of-a-piece-with-comedy-that-dealt-in-contempt

    If you want to know the culturally insensitive television series starring a blacked up Spike Milligan in Curry and Chips then have a quick read of this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry_and_Chips
    It has to be seen to be believed.

    Mind your language was another series of infinite offensiveness. So bad it managed to have multiple stereotypes in one programme which in television racism is a Herculean effort
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFASIzQeDac

    Spike Milligan’s Q series was a forerunner to The Monty Python Flying Circus so if you like that you will LOVE this! The latter pretty much ripped off the former.

    Lenny Henry’s lone attempt at a Hollywood move: True Identity. Watch and LOL at the film trailer.. watch the movie only if you have exhausted every title on Netflix

    A time when American Pie was considered edgy. Really? That really happened? A mainstream film about pie f**king. Read the blurb here.

    Another amazing Dennis Waterman Fact:
    From 1975 to 1978, he starred as Detective Sergeant George Hamilton Carter in ‘The Sweeney’. Meanwhile in 1976, he released his first music album, ‘Downwind of Angels’, Two years later, he returned to the Royal Shakespeare Company to play Sackett in ‘Saratoga’


    Just the Tip Ep 14: Halfway to Cambridge

    Just the Tip Ep 14: Halfway to Cambridge
    Why Cambridge? Well, dear avid listener (of other podcasts) you will have to play this show to find out. It's our version of Jack Nicholson being told 'Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown' In this episode we break from normal proceedings and yammer on about standup comedy in general and our own personal failures in performing live. This one is worth listening to for any budding comics who want to get into comedy and feel the fear of standing up on stage.

    Normal service will resume next episode

    The Show Notes ——>>>>

    There is no episode 13 of JTT. Why? Because Sands is a slave to mild stereotypical superstitions so we will bypass this unlucky number and really screw up the running order for future generations https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/23266/13-reasons-people-think-number-13-unlucky

    We need to mention Michael Winslow who did the silly sound effects in Police Academy. He has made a cottage industry based on this one unique talent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Winslow

    Any of the non Londoners (which seems to be our core audience) hear the mention of a standup venue The Lions’s Den should check out this link https://www.lionsdencomedy.co.uk/
    Run by Tim Rendle who sadly passed away in 2018, it has been the showcase of a lot of comics who used the night to test their material in a friendly atmosphere. It’s still going and when reopened check it out. The place should have a Blue Plaque

    Michael J Fox was excellent in Secret of my Success. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093936/

    Big Respect to Vis the Spoon who’s anarchic and brilliant East London club night many moons ago showcased the non-start of Sands Stand-Up career. Listen to the podcast to understand. Vis’s website is here —>> https://www.visthespoon.com/

    Spike Milligan browned up… what can go wrong? Well check out (or not) the completely incorrect Curry and Chips tv series https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry_and_Chips

    For our American podcast listeners we mentioned the British 70’s tv series The Sweeney. Imagine a grittier more politically incorrect version of Starsky and Hutch… then you get the idea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sweeney

    Another stunning fact about Dennis Waterman
    In 1960, Denis Waterman began his film career, appearing as Ted Lewis in ‘Night Train for Inverness' and as Mickey Donovan in 'Snowball'. Also in the same year, he gave voiceover in ‘Ali and the Camel’ and appeared in two small roles for Royal Shakespeare Company.

    Just the Tip Ep 12: Surviving Remote Comedies

    Just the Tip Ep 12: Surviving Remote Comedies
    In this episode, Kit (the ADH-DJ) and Sands break down comedy in Lockdown mode where some are successful and others are less than successful in delivering content. One thing you will be aware is that EVERYONE IS UNPREPARED to host shows without an audience to feed off but they are doing their best.

    If you want to see remote comedies just type into YouTube John Oliver, Seth Meyers or Jimmy Kimmell and see how best they are adjusting.

    At the time of this recording it was Al Pacino’s birthday and we salute him. And Also Frankie Howerd.

    We realised that there is a much better Just the Tip podcast so you can listen to how more prepared people do their show.
