Have a word. and let's make a podcast i'm getting a dog and I'm going to call it Kobe. Oh.

Hans is dead.
I can't name someone who's dead.
So is Kobe.
Oh, yeah.

You both bit.
Oh, you pathetic.
A weak pair of fucking idiots.
It's so the form of this show, isn't it?
Like, I said something wrong!
Oh, fuck!
They were fishing for it.
Irania.
Yeah, Little Kobe the Cavapoo.
Excuse me, what?
Little Kobe the Cavapoo.
It's time to cavapoo.
Without a minipuck. So you're getting a cavapoo yeah rescue though obviously because that's the kind of guy you are
rescuing it from a kennel that you give two grand for looking after it for a bit yeah oh yeah yeah
that's an essential part of it's like a high-end rescue dog in it here's the thing right so i
tweeted yesterday here we go here's the ethics of buying high breed dogs go on i tweeted yesterday. Here we go. Here's the ethics of buying high breed dogs.
Go on.
I tweeted yesterday.
Fuck it, I'm getting a puppy next week.
And a couple of comments have messaged me,
like from the lefty, oh, socially aware world that we work in,
going, please rescue.
Please do a rescue.
Don't be buying.
Do a rescue.
Have they met you?
Yeah.
Here's the thing.
Hey. Hey.
Like Adam's going into dog buying
based on the pressure of his peers.
Hey, listen.
Why did you get that one?
Because I got tweets from some London comics.
Listen to me, right?
I would prefer to rescue.
I really would.
I think it's the right thing to do.
And if there was a pedigree Cavapoo in the rescue centre,
I would.
A young one, a baby one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Basically, I want a puppy.
I don't want some secondhand 2009 dog.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
That's seen some shit.
Like, I would rescue.
Like, Minnie, my old dog, we rescued.
Simba, my dad's dog, was a rescue.
I would rather do it because you save some fucking money
when you rescue one.
I'm a good person, but fucking hell.
No, I would.
Like, I'd rather rescue, but, like, at the minute,
there's only, like, four, five, six-year-old dogs
at the Dogs Trust in Liverpool.
I don't want someone's second-hand dog.
I want me fucking first-hand dog.
Do you know what I mean?
Right.
You want to rescue a brand-new dog.
Yeah.
I want to rescue a dog. I want one that, like, you know right you want to rescue a brand new dog yeah i want to rescue a
dog i want one that like you know some kid got for christmas and then the mars gone it's fucking
shitting everywhere send it to the pound what a cock a cocker what's called a cavapoo put it in
danger before you buy it's a king charles cavalier crossed with a poodle oh king charles cavalier
crossed with a poodle yeah yeah it's quite specific going into a rescue centre asking for that isn't it
no that's a very
well known breed
lad
hey just put it in
put the dog in danger
before you buy it
why
because then you can say
you've rescued it
yeah
set fire to the kennel
be one of them pricks
near the side of the road
with the dog like
ahhh
save your life
rescue the dog
yeah set fire to the kennel
yeah I would rescue
but there's
none available at the minute
and it's my birthday on Monday
when this episode goes out
publicly it's my birthday
so comments happy birthday in the comments
if you love me or if you don't
but basically I'm getting myself
I am needy
we're in lockdown and I live alone
I need a dog and I need compliments
he's in my bubble
Danny are you a dog and i need compliments okay he's in my bubble yeah are you
a dog person fucking item do you know which that i was just calling back to the conversation we
had before the podcast where carl went i ate people that ate dogs um yeah yeah i like dogs
do you like that i can't help it as soon as you say soon as you say, oh yeah, I like dogs. I like caravans more.
I do.
We've never owned one, but my dad's got dogs.
Why didn't you get a cavapoo with me at the same time?
I don't really think that's going to be the synchronicity that's going to happen.
Why?
Because I struggle to get a phone call out of the fucker.
So can you imagine, like, hi dad have not spoken to you for a while.
No, no, no, no.
But could you go down with Adam to a rescue? No, no, no, no, no, no.
Not for him, for you.
Right.
Why don't me and him?
In my head I was like,
why do you want to get the same puppy
as my dad and my stepmother?
Well, we were gone, weren't we?
But it was my husband and all fucking,
oh, I'm not paying that for the dog.
Yeah, two grand's a lot.
Yeah, but why don't you?
It is.
Why don't you get one with me? He's going to pay more for his dog than you are for but why don't you? It is. Why don't you get one with me?
He's going to pay more for his dog than you are for your car.
That's the sad thing.
Why don't you get a Cavapood, same time as me, brother and sister,
and in a few years we'll make them fuck and we'll share the money, 70-30?
Good.
I like the split.
That's actually good.
Yeah?
That's a good split for breeding dogs.
Someone...
Yeah, but they're not really arse dogs.
About what?
Dogs love shagging
their sister.
All animals
into breed.
Cut that one off.
They don't call them
rowey breeds.
They don't.
Never gonna end.
They don't.
Not all brothers
and sisters
love to fuck,
says a guy
without a sister.
Yeah, but all animals
into breed though,
except for... I have got a sister, I've just never met her.
That's true.
Have I never told you about this?
Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
Have I never told you about this?
What the fuck?
My dad's got a half-Shinese daughter.
No.
It's true.
You mean this bullshit bell is not needed?
Nope.
I shouldn't be saying this, but yeah.
Do it!
Literally, on behalf of all the people watching this.
Yeah, me dad had a daughter who, like, he doesn't know.
And Adam likes, Adam's got a fetish for Asian people as well.
I haven't got a fetish for Asian people.
That is offensive and racist to the equal measure.
No, but you do like,
you're intrigued
by Chinese culture.
Yes.
Salt and pepper chicken
and that salt and pepper chicken.
The triads.
You've got to...
I mean,
you could bang his sister
and never know.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay, good.
I mean,
that would be awkward,
wouldn't it?
If you've never...
It would be awkward.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Any half Chinese goes...
I don't recognise
your eyes no
no
like looking in a mirror
would be fucking awkward
yeah
it'd be really awkward
oh dear

specific joke
and it worked
so well
oh that's made
my tits sweat

Before we start talking about cover poos, cockaboos,
and fucking two grand rescue dogs,

Serious?
No.

In
Communist China
In
In the 80s
What a sitcom that is
The unlikely lad
I'm going to do some
Fucking work mate

He did, though.
He went on an audience in Beijing.
He met a girl.

It's really...
She went travelling,
but like,
when she went travelling,
he got a letter
saying,
I'm pregnant,
but you're never seeing the kids.
I'm back to China I know that it's
dead hard to find people
in China
yeah
there's loads of Chinese people
China is one big game
away as well
yeah with just
one half Scouse girl
I know I'm a red
but this is ridiculous
up the red it goes down really well This is ridiculous. Up the net!
It goes down really well there.
Ministry for the Interior.
Right.
Oh, God.
All right.
I can't buy it.
Truth or lie?
Truth or lie.
It was fine.
But as soon as it was Mick Rowe going to Beijing in the 80s,
I can't have it.
All 100% true.
Yeah, it's all true.
That's not a lie.
He's got a half Chinese sister.
But you can't ring your dad now and be like,
Dad.
No.
No.
He can never know until the episode.
It's public.
Yeah.
He's banned from China.
Really?
Yeah, he's got a thing on his passport,
a stamp saying,
Stop fucking old women.
It says what? No women. No China. It says what?
No China.
No China.
No China.
It's two different stamps.
It's like no and then you pick where you're not allowed to go.
No.
Stay out of...
How much of this podcast is just bullshit?
That's all true.
It's just mad.
Of all the things that are actually true.
Carl, don't look at him, look at me.
I'm looking at you.
Carl.
Yeah.
His dad didn't go to Beijing in the 80s, did he?
Now you looked.
Come on.
I don't know that bit,
but I know he has a half Chinese sister.
And you've had no contact?
That I know of.
From Lil' Ro?
She might have served him.
What's she called?
Do you know her name?
Mei Lin.
Mei Lin?
Yeah, her name is Ballot.
Kobe.
Kobe.
Go on, do it.
Chinese Kobe. Kobe. Go on, do it. Chinese Kobe.
Kobe.
Oh, no, that's Japanese Kobe.
Kobe.
Kobe.
Mr. Meek, Mr. Meek.
We've got a problem.
Get a dog, then.
No dogs. No Irish. got a problem get a dog then no dogs no Irish
no Chinese
Chinese eat dogs
don't they
don't bring around
your new dog then
famously
was it Korean that
have you seen that
tweet from
have you seen that
tweet from the
Chinese Communist Party yeah all good yeah have you seen that tweet from the Chinese Communist Party?
Yeah, all good.
Have you seen it?
Yeah, I have, yeah.
I haven't.
Do you actually not?
So, basically, like, listen,
I know we've done a bit of ethnic cleansing,
but they're happier.
Come on.
They were a bit muzzy,
and we've had a chat,
we've taken them away like a Chinese butlins,
and now they're back
And they're happy
Why are they not seamless?
This is not even
He's not even like
Messing
So it says
Study shows that in the process
Of eradicating extremism
The minds of
Is it erga?
How do you pronounce it?
Erga Muslims
No it's not
It's erga
Y-G-U-R
Do you know it? I don't know why I looked at you I was just like You don't it's not It's U-Y-G-U-R Do you know it?
I don't know why I looked at you
I think it's the Uruk-hai
I think it's the Uruk-hai
Okay
No it's not
The minds of erga Muslims
No it doesn't even say Muslims
Studies show
That in the process of eradicating extremism
The minds of erga women in Jingyang
Were emancipated
And gender equality and reproductive
health were promoted making them no longer baby making machines they are more confident and
independent and that is from the verified chinese embassy in the us and it was liked by beyonce
so that's nice isn't it all the women and abandoned was it really like by beyon? I don't think so. I don't think so.
Oh, the single ladies.
Oh, the single ladies.
Where's your husband?
He's not coming home.
So it's layman terms for that then?
Basically, what they've said,
because it's been sort of a not too well-kept secret that there's been, like, Muslim concentration camps.
The Chinese and Nazis.
Muslim concentration camps in China,
but no one really talks about it
because everyone's scared of China
because there's fucking loads of them.
That's what we keep going back to.
Yeah.
So they've been ethnically cleansing Muslims.
Like, they've been putting them in concentration camps
and teaching them not to be Muslim.
Like, torturing them until they no longer believe their religion.
And they've essentially said,
we have been doing that.
But look at the smile on her face.
They're no longer baby making.
Can we just find out what the pronunciation is?
I feel like we need to know.
For fuck's sake!
I don't want to download a free audio book every fucking time
right
we are looking at how to pronounce the name of this
turkic speaking minority
ethnic group originating from and
culturally affiliated with the general
region of central and east
asia the
Uyghur people
Uyghur the what The Uyghur people Uyghur?
Whoa.
The what?
The Uyghurs.
The Uyghurs.
I don't think he's right.
The Uyghurs.
The Uyghur Muslims.
Can be found in
student unions
around Britain
listening to hip-hop.
For so many reasons
here are more videos on how to pronounce
O-R-E-G-O-S
there's just
14 minutes in and there's been more problematic
stuff in this episode than all the others
combined and that's saying quite a lot
we were trying to learn then
O-R-E-G-O-S
can we just stop making that second
third syllable
O-R-E-G-O-S O-R-E-G-O-S what? Wiggers. Wiggers. Can we just stop making that second and third syllable? A wiggers.
A wiggers what?
That's the line, isn't it?
Right there.
Wiggers.
Oh, God.
Uruk-hai.
Oh, it's fucking awful.
Horrible.
Dadappia.
Oh, Jesus Christ
it says
why would they be
tweeting
that they're happier
they're not going to
lie about it
you don't lie on Twitter
who
would lie on Twitter
from an official
position
within a government
it's got a little flag on it
and it says
China government
accounts so you know
that they're telling the truth
it's the Chinese embassy
in the US
see the little flag
oh yeah
at Chinese yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Officially a China government's camp.
So, you know, how are Twitter not flagging that?
Is Twitter terrified of China?
Is Twitter a bit like,
I know President Trump is inciting all sorts of hate and violence,
but he's got 100 million followers.
Have you seen what's happened?
He's been indefinitely banned off Facebook and Instagram,
and he's been suspended from Twitter.
And breathe in, breathe out, we'll get through this together.
He's off Snapchat.
Yeah, they've closed his Snapchat account.
No more orange dick pics.
No more little Donald.
And he banned TikTok himself, didn't he?
Yeah.
He's not on TikTok.

Consumed by Facebook.
Let's not underestimate the amazing freedoms we have.
I know we bitch and moan,
but there are people in the world
living under that tyranny.
I can't even fucking have a rave for my birthday.
You can't fucking watch Have A Word.
And there's billions of them.
North Korea is mad.
I'm so interested in North Korea.
Yeah.
I did a bit of crowd work.
Adam's dad actually went to North Korea.
No, Beijing.
Oh, sorry.
I thought he did a little mini tour.
No, no, he went to Beijing, come back.
Got himself a missus, checked out.
Is that what he did it for?
What?
He went over there
to find a lady
to find love
anyway North Korea
there's a dating show
back in the 80s
was it yeah
yeah
find a
Chinese
bride
North Korea
is incredible
have you ever seen
the American students
who got turned
into a cabbage
yeah that's a pretty
sad story
fucking hell
you can do like these mad trips where like Chernobyl American students who got turned into a cabbage. Yeah, that's a pretty sad story. Fucking hell.
You can do like these mad trips where,
like Chernobyl, you can pay to go as a group.
Yeah.
I've seen them.
One of them is go to North Korea.
Is it?
Yeah, yeah.
I thought you weren't allowed to... No, no.
So you've also got to have a guide with you.
There's like all these mad rules.
It's a very restrictive tourist visa.
Yeah, totally.
No phones allowed allowed no cameras
whatsoever i could sneak one in though they do really healthy um his name is i can't remember
his name was if you're youtuber you'll find that easy but he takes it um he takes a picture off the
wall a poster of the supreme leader in the hotel as like a um a memento as a memento of the trip got caught on CCTV got arrested got sentenced to a lifetime of hard labour
in North Korean camps
and I think it was Obama
fought for him to come home
he was there for like six months
fought for him to come home
and when they got him home on the plane
he was
he died two days later
he was just a cabbage in a
in a wheelchair
he just like this is the comedy podcast
have a word
it's interesting as fuck
if that's happening in North Korea
and that's happening in China
and obviously there's other places over there
you don't know what's going on
why are you so bothered about Russia?
they seem quite sound
yeah they're dead sound
there's nothing going on in Russia
dead sound you don't hear about
it great government great you don't hear about it when they poison people in this country yeah but
he he brought that on himself a bit though didn't he yeah yeah you're right whatever his name was
the bald fella didn't he ozzy they all end up looking like that. The first one was Litvinenko,
wasn't it?
Was it,
yeah?
Yeah.
It's just mental,
isn't it?
Absolutely mental.
I don't,
it's not on him,
it's not on him with the North Korea visit.
No.
But it's a fucking
risky trip,
isn't it?
And people want to do
that sort of,
that's not tourism,
that's travelling
and that's,
I want to go to
but how are they allowed to function it's just horrific could you not just wear like a little
sneaky gopro like in a flower or something yeah they'd be sound about that they don't check
they don't check would you rather right so imagine i don't know whether we've done something similar
to this actually but let's say you you get done for a murder right and you've got to go on the run so you've got a fake passport under someone else's name right yeah and
you two options of russia or china you have post pose this one but it was so far back i think you
asked me this question in about 1998 on this podcast so it's fine i think russia china or Russia, China or North Korea? Where are you going?
I've just had a mate live in China In Beijing
I've got friends in China
No
I've got family
See Beijing's a bit different isn't it
Because it's very westernised

Again it's the biggest city in China
But it's really
Yeah

That doesn't sound good, does it?
Depends how hard you are, though, innit?
You send me a fucking...
You send me a dodgy WhatsApp
and all of a sudden I'm coming like a vegetable.
Oh, WhatsApp's encrypted.
Right.
They wouldn't see that.
Nah, I'd probably fuck it up and come back.
I'd go North Korea, me,
and try and sort of, like,
be the first white person
who ever become Supreme Leader.
Yeah.
Dennis Rodman's best mate
with the Supreme Leaders, isn't he?
You'd go North Korea.
Try and infiltrate them.
You, Dennis Rodman, Kim Jong-un.
You'd be a good laugh.
What a film that'll be What a sitcom
Dennis Rodman
Teached me how to play basketball
And they're all
Notoriously smaller over there
So I'd probably make
The Olympic team
Yeah yeah
But Kim Jong-un
Would win every game
He wouldn't
I mean he wouldn't
But according to
North Korean state television,
our supreme leader
beat Rowie Baggs
and Dennis Rodman.
I don't mind him lying, though.
27-0.
So that people respect him.
Do you know what I mean?
I get it.
But I don't know.
Like, it'd be all over the news
and I'd just be like
sat there looking at him like,
we know, lad.
You got dunked on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're really good at
keeping that stuff to yourself,
aren't you?
Like, I'd just be content knowing what I know. Don't you think if you dunked on him,. Yeah. You're really good at keeping that stuff to yourself, aren't you? Like, I'd just be content knowing what I know.
Don't you think if you dunked on him, he'd just kill you?
No.
I've got stuff on him, haven't I?
What?
Incriminating photographs from your little flower camera.
Eh?
Got your dick out of the air, didn't you?
Incriminating?
Dunking donuts.
What?
Incriminating?
What are you going to give them to?
South Korea.
What are they going to do?
Don't know.
I'm not saying I've fought it all the way through.
What about Washington though? We haven't spoken about Washington.
I am.
Good producing there, Karl.
Yeah.
I felt for Jilly Bean as she
tried to invoke the 25th Amendment
on Twitter.
What is the 25th Amendment? It just means you can get rid of the president because they're unfit to rule
oh yeah they're not going to do that now are they oh it looks good they are i don't know
nah they're gonna wait now because he did that video last night didn't he saying
like uh he's gonna commit to a peaceful transition of power now good on him though isn't it good now
do you know what?
He shits himself.
I had a bit of respect
for Donald Trump
when he was causing murder
because I get that.
You know what I mean?
He's lost his election.
He's like,
I'm fucking nearly dead anyway
so I might as well just cause
absolute fucking murder.
Let's just fuck.
Yeah,
go.
Cause a fucking riot.
Let's have a scrap.
And I thought,
do you know what?
At least he's going out
with his household guns blazing
and then the limp, dicked fucker went on twitter and was like i want my account back it's the most
grotesque human being to hold office serious office like you know when all those things are
like he's set a new standard for politicians lying because that's the sort of old thing about
politicians are politicians lie you're like this guy has so little grip of what's right and what's wrong
and what's truth and what's lie.
He started sowing the seeds of all these problems before the election
because he saw the polls and went, well, this is rigged, this is rigged.
And he's fought and he's fought and he's fought
with no consequence of people's lives and also democracy in America.
And how they treated Black Lives Matter compared to how they treated this insurrection the also democracy in America, and how they treated Black Lives Matter
compared to how they treated this insurrection
the other day in Washington.
The fucking double standards.
Imagine if...
Like, literally, in Portland,
they're fucking using force
to reclaim the Capitol building, the state building.
And then in Washington, they're like,
oh, God, God, they got in?
How did that happen
oh quickly, put this wardrobe
there, stay back, like how the
fuck did that happen, that's top
down, someone's gone, just leave it, see what they do
don't, where were the military
it's a fucking disgrace
what he's got away with
and the only argument for not invoking the
25th amendment would to be
just let him, he's now neutralised,
he has no power, he can do nothing in two weeks.
Mike Pence and Congress, Senate, it's all Democrat now
and I don't know if that works out
because the Senate's just been won for the Democrats,
hasn't it, essentially, but he's neutralised.
So just let him fade.
If you invoke the 25th Amendment,
do you just, like, rile up all the trump supporters even more
so just let this absolute fucking horrific period of america's history just disappear
like instead of going right that's it you're not president anymore does that just fucking
stoke the flames even more just let him quietly fuck off into ignominy like and he's free for me whatever yeah and he's
up for podcast imagine what it's like being is it millennia's wife yeah like she's off head i mean
she imagine going to bed with him imagine like she's she's off yeah before before before he got
into office no but i mean they re-signed the prenup didn't they they re-signed the prenup
she hassle um haggled for a pre a re-signed prenup to, didn't they? They re-signed the prenup. She haggled for a re-signed prenup to be like,
I will stick for four fucking years,
but she got more money.
Yeah.
I swear to God, after the 20th of January,
the time is ticking on her going,
fuck you, you horrible cunt.
When do you reckon was the last time she sucked his dick?
Pre-Oval Office.
You reckon? I don't think she's gone next-Oval Office. You reckon?
I don't think she's gone next to Lil' Bill.
I reckon if I'm him
and he's writing prenups
you get more money. He's like, I want
one blowy in the Oval Office.
With Rudy Giuliani sweating hair dye
like, yes, don't forget that down for you.
You can't hold office and not get
smoked in the Oval Office. get smoked in the Oval Office.
Get smoked in the Oval Office.
Come on!
What's the point of being president
if you don't get to have a little bang in there?
I don't think you're ever in there alone, really.
We're secret service.
He's a potus who's about to...
No, but outside.
Yeah?
Yeah, so you stay outside there and I'm getting smoked?
There's no way
that any president
has ever gone through
a full term
and not got fucking
chonged in the office.
But I think we're talking
about Melania.
I think she may like
get someone else
to do it, mate.
There's no way.
He has ladies coming in
to service them needs.
There's no way
she does that for him.
Oh, God.
I would not want to watch that.
Oh, it's the best.
Imagine how much they get paid, though.
Oh, he's such a fucking horror show.
He's the worst person on the planet.
He's literally the worst human being on the planet.
He's worse than Putin.
Do you reckon?
Do you reckon?
I don't know.
It's all just a fucking hellhole of scumbags in it. Where'd you get there? I don't know. It's all just a fucking hellhole of scumbags in it.
Can I shave his bum?
Where did you get there?
I don't know.
Just intrigued?
I'm trying to get this political conversation back on.
Comedy?
On brand.
Oh, yeah, okay.
What do you reckon he has for breakfast?
Do you reckon he has Cocoa Pops?
Therefore it's Cocoa Pops, doesn't he?
Because he's a fucking child.
He's addicted to diet pills, apparently, isn't he?
He's a fat cunt as well.
And speed, do you reckon?
And maybe a bit of...
What's the limitless pill?
Modafinil.
Yeah, but it's got another name.
Modafinil, the one that makes...
Adderall.
Adderall, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he likes an Adderall because he's always like...
Would you try an Adderall?
Be tempted, just to see if, you know, it would give me superpowers or something.
Would you try Ritalin?
No, that's for ADHD, isn't it?
Would you try it for like a course of 20 years?
If I got a prescription.
No, but Adderall's meant to make you like super focused in it.
But I know a comic who at some point will be on here.
I won't name him in case he doesn't want anyone to know.
But he takes it.
And when he's on it he's so
like I'm doing this this
and he gets everything
done and when he's
comparing on it he's
fucking flawless and when
he has the day where he
crashes he's one of the
worst comics I've ever
seen in my life oh my
god not knowing this
information is causing me
actual pain yeah it's like
it's he's so like,
Northern?
No.
I think I know what it is.
I don't think you do.
Really?
Yeah.
I doubt it.
That limitless pill.
Yeah.
That'd be amazing.
And it's just to unload.
Well, it's like,
I know people who did modafinil in uni to do their essays.
Is modafinil a type of Adderall?
It's a type of...
It's a narcolepsy drug.
But what the side effect is...
I've tried it.
The side effect is that it makes you more attentive
and keeps you, in theory, focused without being speedy,
which is pretty similar to Adderall.
But, I mean, these things will have a detrimental effect, won't they?
And also, like you say, unless you're going to take them forever you're like
hi I'm high functioning next day like
just a bag of Cheetos like
yeah
and also what are you doing with that
hyper focus
are you just like watching more
episodes of How I Met Your Mother
I just feel like are you going to
use it or are you like i struggle
with focus don't i so it's meant to like make you focus so like when i've got like me taxes
hands there although my accountant does it like but i've still got to go for me fucking bank
account and be like this this this and this and whatever like that would be useful yeah you use
for that when i'm writing an edinburgh show when i instead of getting to the last week of july and
being like i've only got 40 minutes
yeah problem with that is
you're gonna write
in about 2 hours
and 40 minutes
aren't you
how's your Edinburgh show
yeah pretty good
I've cut it down
to a day and a half
my Edinburgh show
whenever I get to the festival
is always like
50 minutes ish
and then by the end of it
I'm over running
doing like an hour and 10
yeah because you pad it out
lose the shit
but yeah I would take it but like maybe when I've got some stuff to do like clean the couch or something and then by the end of it I'm over and under in like an hour and ten. Yeah, because you pad it out, lose the shit.
But yeah, I would take it but like maybe when I've got
some stuff to do
like clean the couch or something.
We should take it
just on an episode
to see what happens.
Yeah.
Just see...
Just be really serious.
See what the results are.
Really actually...

It's Father Carl.
No, I want to be Daddy Carl.
Papa Carl.

How fucking...
Mate, by the way,
if you're in the Catholic Church
and you're training to be ordained as a priest,
and you say,
I don't actually want to be called Father Carl,
I want to be called Daddy Carl,
that's a red flag.
I mean, they're only really going to notice that red flag in the last few years, but... Grandmaster? No. No, it's got to be called Daddy Carl That's a red flag I mean they're only Really going to notice That red flag
In the last few years
But for a lot of like
No
No it's got to be religious
Papa Carl
You're not in a hip hop
Fucking troupe
In the name of the Papa
The kid
And the Holy Ghost
What's
No you've got to be
Father Carl
No Papa Carl
But he sounds like a smurf
Either way
I've got legal documentation here And I can marry you sweet if you used on
packing i'm out of use that'd be big of me and annoying um i don't think laura will let a lot
slide you know i even we were just talking about in the break i i uh we put a clip out
from a Patreon episode
a few weeks ago
where you say
you want a gang bang
where everyone's like
what's your fantasy
and Adam's like
like a tennis outfit
and I'm like gang bangs
and I
my five month pregnant wife
watching it went
yeah it's good
yeah
she's sound
I don't think she's gonna
put up with
Carl marrying us
why?
I think that's the line
why?
I think that would be the line
and even on a lockdown lock-in?
Oh, yeah, fuck.
It's a lockdown lock-in, isn't it?
Yeah, we'll just get it annulled a few days later.
I can do that.
Father Carl.
Are you ready to move on from Sensei Carl,
or are you attached to him?
I mean, I'm always going to be the Sensei,
but, I mean, you can hide...
I think we should go into a new era of you being Father Carl.
But I hate Catholicism.
Can you take confession?
Papa Carl?
Yeah, like Big Papa.
I'll take Papa Carl.
I love it when they call me Big Papa.
Once again, it is a bit of a red flag, though,
if you go into a place of worship and it's like,
call me Papa.
Can I go in the church now?
Yeah, they never shag kids there, do they?
Can I go in the church now and just do shit?
That's so subtle.
That's so subtle so subtle
can I go and use
their printer and stuff
who
the church
the church of universal
no can I go into
a church
and I'm going
no
no
you're not ordained
in their church
yeah
they have different
like you have to
pass a test
I don't know if you've
heard but religions
can get a little bit
territorial
I don't know if you
know that about
certain religions,
as in all of them, apart from like...
The Catholic ones have like a test.
You have to do an exam.
You have to know all the words to the hymns and that.
Like in Belfast, that's caused a lot of problems in the past
with Protestant and Catholic priests trying to use each other's printers.
They're not like each other?
Oh, mate, they're really fuming.
We're having a march.
Can we just print out some leaflets?
I don't know, it's a fucking church.
You have to recite the Bible backwards.
What?
To be a Catholic.
As in, say the words backwards?
Yeah.
And backwards.
Whoa.
Wow.
I felt like you were being racist towards your sister there.
Oh, that's worse than me fucking mispronouncing the Uruk-hai.
No, I was just saying,
in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
So you're alright about being 30?
You're alright about being 30?
Yeah, I think I'm going to suit being 30 more than my 20s
I'm quite
mature
yeah
how about you
Carl
because you're the
same age aren't you
when are you 29
February
end of February
god
I'm last
like I'm
the biggest kid ever
so I'm not going to
stop just because
of number changes
and my 30s
I feel like I'm going to be better than my 20s.
I spent most of my 20s literally, like,
borrowing bus fare to get to gigs,
and now I pay for my own petrol.
I thought you were going to do a joke.
I pay for my own petrol and council tax.
Yeah, I'm an arse thing.
I'm off pay as you go!
Fuck you!
What? Like, so...
We're going to be successful 30-year-olds as well, so it makes a difference, doesn't you what like so we're gonna be successful
30 and old as well
so it makes a difference
doesn't it
like we're gonna have
a good 30
in my 20s
I just had fun
I did comedy throughout
just had fun
fucked about
in my 30s
that turned into
meeting someone
settling down
and that's all
boxed off now
I'm 40 in two months
and that's where
we get rich
I wanna have six children
by the time I'm 40 and then I'm really going down we get rich I want to have six children by the time I'm 40
and then I'm really
going down the gears
in my 50s
oh yeah
gonna be wealthy
probably divorced
when she's watched
too many stupid
fucking videos
when I talk about gangbangs
yeah like I think
I'm gonna settle down
in my 30s
I'd like to think so
yep
yep
just try not to settle down
before then eh
um
hiya lids
this seems a tough one to phrase into an obvious
question as no regrets is the easy answer when thinking about what you've done so far but what
i want to ask is if you started your comedy career today with all the knowledge of your successes and
failures what would your comedy roadmap look like are there people or gigs that you'd avoid is there
a gig you'd say no to, that you
have said yes to?
Is there stuff you would have done differently?
Did you burn material by doing
Edinburgh Too Soon? I always love
your comedy insights and hope you can give light
to what you may
have done differently and how that have
changed where you are now.
Cheers. That's from Dan Johnson. Dan,
you've sent some fucking great questions.
So if you could go back to the start,
is that 2010?
I sort of misquoted the timescale on that.
Sunday the 27th of June, 2010.
February the 8th, 2002.
You always remember your comedy birthday, don't you?
I remember it as well
because England were knocked out by Germany
of the World Cup
and Lampard scored a goal
that was about three yards over the line,
but they just allowed it.
A sad day,
but a happy day.
What would you have done differently?
You can have a little...
See,
it's very hard to say
I'd do anything differently, because
things have gone
sort of okay
for someone a decade in,
um,
who,
yeah,
you've been on television several times and you've got one of the biggest
podcasts in UK comedy.
Yeah.
Managed to do a few tours,
you know,
got to open for my absolute fucking,
um,
my goat,
my,
my comedy hero.
If you feel like I have a better term,
you've got one of your heroes to open for you?
Yeah, Freddie Quinn.
Jar!
Upset me!
Not the bitch!
It's hard to say I do anything different. I tell you what I would
do differently, probably.
But then, I struggle
with questions like this,
because I'm a big believer and obsessed with the butterfly effect.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
So if I did this thing differently,
then maybe all of those things wouldn't have happened,
and I can't pull myself away from thinking like that.
No, it's quite a sensible way of looking at it.
away from thinking like that.
No, it's quite a sensible way of looking at it.
However, the story of my mum's death that I did in my debut Edinburgh show
because I had the idea of,
you've got to use that for your debut.
It's a big story.
You only get a chance to win Best Newcomer
at the Edinburgh Festival once.
I sort of thought that that's what I wanted.
I think I would save that until I was a better, more skilled
comic, put it this way
I don't think the show I did in my debut year
was very good, I think I could
do that story very well now
I think if you spoke to every
comic in the UK that's been
going a certain amount of time and done an Edinburgh show
I think one of the things they'd
change is when they did their first
Edinburgh show
I wouldn't change that I did it then but I wouldn't
do that story
I should have waited on that
it's a very good story
you'd be able to use it
I did mine in 2008 after 6 years
I wish I'd waited another 4
so much
because it was just, I was doing,
my stand-up was fine.
Did you say you did it after six years?
It was all right.
Yeah.
Which is a normal time to do it.
It's not, like I did a job,
but I look back and I was just doing okay circuit comedy
and the reviews and the general response was,
yeah, it was okay.
It's pretty good.
It's all right.
Yeah.
If I'd have waited another four or five years
with the show I took up in 2012,
could have actually made some waves.
But by then, everyone's like, oh, yeah, been around.
Yeah, if I'd done...
I'd have started this early.
That's what I'd done.
I've had this thought several times recently.
You can't...
It's easy to do this,
but imagine if I'd have got this kit together
when I had expendable income.
This is different for you,
because in 2010 you were starting out.
In 2010, I earned really well from stand-up.
Like, I was doing well.
I was fucking around and drinking too much.
I could have got some of this kit
and should have started some of this.
Back in the day when podcasting was like,
there's five podcasts now
like ed gamble and ray peacock peacock and gamble did fucking numbers yeah there's just nothing else
about yeah i wish i'd got on that earlier imagine i thought about this as well how could we have
done it earlier because we couldn't have worked together like we do now more than two years ago
i don't know no i've thought about this quite a lot because it's very easy to go fucking hell
why don't we start that sooner but it just never would have worked the way it did and the only
reason this has been successful is because like we've worked our asses off for a full year now
this is our birthday episode, by the way.
Oh, happy birthday.
Yeah, like our first birthday is the 10th of January.
Marry us.
I think it's right, actually. Yeah.
So a full year we've done this now.
And we've worked our arses off.
We've gambled at the right time by getting this place
and bringing Carl in and then bringing Finn in,
like to sort of get things rolling and get the clips out and whatever.
But we've also got Lucky
and we've mentioned this sort of privately
that it's sort of a bit sort of weird to say,
but the pandemic has helped us a bit
because when the lockdown hit and we went all in
and we're like, we'll do it every day
and we'll keep these people entertained
and it gave us this relationship with our listeners
that I don't think we would have got otherwise
and the relationship between me and you
being sort of
friends but not good friends
yet and now we're really close and whatever
that's all happened at a very very
specific perfect time and if we'd
have tried to do this three or four years ago
this podcast wouldn't be the
enormous pile of bullshit
brilliant bullshit that it is.
Also, it's about where you are in comedy as well.
If we'd have started this before you'd done the miles that you'd done,
like if we'd say that we started in 2015
when I started my very first podcast,
started in 2014,
and I did 83 episodes,
and literally we get the views,
total views that my first podcast got in the first eight
minutes of putting it on patreon and that's what literally 330 views or downloads we do that when
we press publish um you'd have been a comic on the way up and like coming through the support
ranks and everything.
I was a headliner that would have changed the relationship.
You were younger.
Yeah.
And we came into this as two headliners to the point where you were doing
tours.
You'd gone past me in the,
the,
the pecking order,
but that wouldn't have been right either.
That would have been a,
it would have been me.
It would have been me doing you a favor. Yeah which is what is happening on other podcasts and i understand
it i'm not knocking it at all but we've benefited from going well no way it's like yeah yeah yeah
the comment is equal but i wish i i look back and go fuck me if you did just put some money
into cameras and everything and work this out.
Hindsight's 20-20.
Yeah.
It's a good question, though, Dan, and I really like... Dan Johnson is a Hall of Famer for the amount of stuff he's thrown away.
We get more questions from him than anyone.
He sends even more in than even Harry does.
Yeah, it's superb, man.
Would you rather from Dan Pugh, who's another Hall of Famer,
Ahmed, Darnell, Carlito, and Phineas,
would you rather have the power to instantly fall asleep whenever you want,
so no late-night insomnia, that's a thing of the past,
or have instant food, so breakfast, dinner, or tea, when you want it.
You can just click your fingers, it's there.
You don't get like pizza
gourmet food
you get what you
would have had anyway
but you don't ever
have to cook
you just get to go
bang that's my breakfast
it's absolutely
a piece of piss
this question
sleep
well I can do that
anyway so
food for me
he
you
oh sorry I thought
you said he had
insomnia
no no
you can just sleep anywhere
I stayed in his once
this was years ago
I'd had murder with my dad
so I was like
can I just come and stay in yours
and he had no spare bed
so I stayed in the bed with him
we were watching the telly
and he went
should we turn it off
because we're getting up early in the morning
aren't we
and I went yeah
and literally
he hit his head at the pillow
and then I went
hey Carl
and he was snoring
I can sleep in 10 to 15 seconds.
My girlfriend hates it.
That's literally like...
That's...
That's almost worrying, isn't it?
That if you were driving and you went...
No, I have to choose.
Like narcolepsy.
I've taught myself how to do it.
Narcolepsy?
Yeah, yeah.
I've taught myself how to do it.
I nearly thought it was necrophilia.
I just closed my eyes.
I'm fucking a dead body.
It's like lucid dreaming, isn't it?
You have to teach yourself how to do it.
I've taught myself how to sleep.
Where's the best places you've slept?
Because I need, I'm a, like, he's called me a fussy sleeper.
I'm earplugs and...
Oh, no, I could sleep on the motorway.
Noise, sound, like, because I shared the bedroom
with my older brother when I was little.
And he was, like, listening to music or snoring,
so I had to just learn to...
Or smash and puss.
He wasn't doing that.
But basically, I can sleep anywhere under any circumstance.
He might have been and I might have fucking repressed him.
What's that song?
He watches this. I know he does, yeah. That's why repressed it. What's that song? He watches this.
I know he does, yeah.
That's why I said it.
Shout out to our Paul.
But yeah, I can sleep.
So, the food on for me,
because I can just sleep whenever I want.
No, the sleep for me,
like I had a fucking awful sleep last night.
You just can't get comfy.
And I'm dead conscious of my arms.
Because it might pop out.
Yeah. Not just like, oh. Like of my arms because it might pop out yeah
not just like
oh
like yeah
because it might
he's just had an edible
amazing
just her
like
do things
like I struggle to sleep
when you come in
and you've had a bad night's sleep
yeah
like you wear it
like
am I wearing it today
no no no no no no sorry sorry
like there's been times when you've come in grumpy as fuck and uh especially when your anxiety was up
with the end of the lockdown which isn't like that's not you on your own a lot of people were
suffering that we got on those um zoom meetings and i could tell early on i was like okay yeah
and then you were like yeah i've not slept well let well, let's, come on, I can do this.
And we did it.
Yeah.
Most days it was perfect.
I,
I,
I'm in a really good mood today,
and I was yesterday as well.
You've been on a great,
you've been ungrateful.
Yeah.
Recently.
Um.
But not sleeping.
Yeah.
Last night.

It's not professional.
Online shop and Jordan partner.
I tell you, if you've ever got wrecked in your life and gone clubbing,
the first one would be a wonderful superpower.
Because as you stop feeling good and it clubbing, the first one is, would be a wonderful superpower. Because as you start,
stop feeling good
and it's six in the morning
and everyone's gone home
and you're back in your bed
and your heart's,
you're like,
everything about your body's like,
it's definitely time for bed
apart from your heart

and then in that,
that can take three hours
to get to sleep.
The amount of weird thoughts you have. Oh yeah, yeah. Oh my God. That sort of. I to get to sleep. The amount of weird thoughts you have.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, my God.
That sort of...
I've turned to Jesus.

Don't you, like, slip off the end?
I've used baby oil and you do do that.
I don't know if you know.
You need purchase, don't you?
Are we literally going to have a conversation about how to have a wank?
Like, oh, I just can't keep on to it like it's a fucking eel

next time you have a bit of insomnia,
just clip it up and then don't call me straight away.
Phone slipping out.

Honestly, it's like
the difference between driving a
fucking Vauxhall Nova and getting in a
Mercedes.
What does it do, though? What difference does it make?
Makes it all shiny and nice.

Where Finn was from
Finn's from Ril

Via Istanbul
Is the Sun Centre
Still open here
That must be
The most popular question
For anybody
There's a sequel now though
There's the Sun Centre 2
It's very original
Yeah it's literally called Sun Centre 2
So the water park and
Water park's a bit of a fucking generous term
They didn't rename it
They called it the Sun Centre 2
They built another one down the road
That's a bit more modern
And kind of a bit less noncy
So down the road they've built that And modern and kind of a bit less noncy so down the road
they've built that
and that's called
SC2
oh god
oh shit
it's closed now
because of COVID
just letting you know
so they have to
close it though
because there's
bleach in the water
isn't there
so surely that
kills all the COVID
yeah COVID can't
swim

don't know
that it can't
so you're wrong
yes

Tony Carroll in
yay
mama like that
mama like that

how are you
I'm okay
I just wanted to ask
a question first
before we start
I wanted to ask you
a question
you don't really
but I'm cool
cool cool
I was just wondering
yous have both got
like the scousest podcast in the world right cool cool I was just wondering yous have both got like
the scousest podcast
in the world right
yeah
and I was just wondering
why it's in real
why it's in Runcorn
not real
Runcorn
because he lives in Chester
alright
so it's in the middle
of both of us
just went past
the fucking town hall
here in Runcorn
Runcorn town hall
yeah
seen Doc and Martin McFly
outside the town hall
he wrote that on the way in.
Yay!
Comedy!
On his little notebook.
I'll fucking say
it was back to the future.
He does that,
didn't he yesterday?
It's the first new joke
he's written since I've known him,
you know?
I'm coming back this year, mate.
Coming back?
Great year to come back.
There's more gigs than there are comics. I don't know if you've been following anything I'm coming back this year, mate. Coming back? Yeah. Great year to come back.
There's more gigs than there are comics.
I don't know if you've been following anything on social media,
but I haven't got a slot.
I didn't really follow it when I was doing it.
I couldn't stand anyone, to be honest.
I think the last time us three were in a room together was when you booked us both to do Woody's.
Do you remember that gig?
Did you do Woody's?
The little...
Karaoke bar.
Karaoke bar, yeah.
It was the night my grandad died, yeah.
I remember it really well.
I'm not even joking.
I just went...
I had to be like,
and that's grandad dead,
and off we go to Liverpool.
That was just...
100 quid.
That was a weird gig, that, like...
I was fucking doing stand-up one minute,
and then 10 minutes later,
singing Mustang Sally.
You know what I mean?
I mean, that's what you used to do anyway, wasn't it?
Yeah.
You used to sing on stage anyway
didn't you
oh
oh
oh
call's in
hello
were you trying
to be fucking
subtle there
like creeping
around as if
like the three
cameras
watch it
watch
so I've brought
some gifts
for you guys
right
because I thought
you know
everyone's bringing
gifts
so I thought
Christmas has
come
late
yeah
these better not be re-gifts
Christmas you know
oh
so I just decided
I thought
I'd give them out first
get the gifts out the way
isn't it
that's probably the best thing
I've got
I've got something for everyone
fucking hell
this is happening all the time
even Finn
I got you something
what
yeah
I thought you didn't even know
Finn existed

Finn's so lost.
He doesn't want them back either.
How do you know?
He's not well at the

you're in this
right okay
look
a lot of our listeners
yeah
are day one
OGs
what are you doing, Kyle?
Oh, yes, Sands.
You can't just tell them to put it down.
A lot of our listeners are day one.
They've been here from the start.
But there's a chunk that aren't.
I mean, statistically, it's impossible that there's all of them from the OG days.
There's a good chunk.
But there'll be a lot of people that haven't. Yeah. There's a good chunk. Four.
But there'll be a lot of people that haven't.
I think we need to recap
what this is.
So do you want to tell us why
in your own words
you have brought us
a pair of your grandad's trousers?
Well,
it's a long story, isn't it?
It's been told before
but basically what happened was
there was a comic
that used to be on the scene.
Called Luke Montague.
Luke Montague, yeah.
And he was doing
a corporate gig.
I think it was
for St. Alan's rugby team
or something like that.
Yeah, one of the big ones.
Yeah, massive.
And he said to me,
he said to us
while we were on a night out,
wasn't it?
Yeah, we were in Envy.
Yeah, we were on a night out.
And he had a suit.
He was saying like,
he was asking, wasn't he?
So we didn't really have
much, so he just said like, oh, I need to get a fucking suit but I so we didn't really have much so he just said
I need to get a
fucking suit
but I can't afford it
so I just said
you can borrow
me grandad's
if you want
it wasn't just
I live with me
grandad's
you know what I mean
you know when someone
says to get him
struggling financially
I can't afford clothes
your first daughter's
always
I'm a nice guy
you know what I mean
I've done it
out of the goodness
of my heart
but I mean
when you're starting out
and you're getting
your first few gigs
it's shit like that
you need to do
isn't it
because
yeah look after each other
because you've got
a corporate gig
when you're in new comics
not like you've got
loads of suits in
you're just being a good egg
being a good guy
so I give him
my grandad's pants
and he goes off
and does it
and then a couple
of weeks later
I wasn't really desperate
for my grandad's pants back
he was
but my grandad
was like fucking hell Tony wears my ge anyways so so i said i'll ask you guys one
pair at a time i'll ask the question granddad so next gig comes on a sunday we still used to do
hot water when i first start on a sunday it was like quarter of us done it because
yeah there's really many comedians the envy days yeah the envy days yeah rest in peace OG so
I give him the keks
he does the gig
a few weeks later
I say
yo
did you have a good gig
where's me granad's keks
he said
I've lost them
so I said
what do you mean
you've lost them
so he says
St. Helens rugby club
is pretty rough
yeah he said
I've been moving around
and I said
well fucking fine
I'm not doing all
you have to pay for you like designer pants?
So, I'll design a suit.
Were they, though?
Were they British Home Stores?
No, no, I do designer, yeah.
What designer?
You lent him the full suit, didn't you?
Because he gave you the jacket back.
Yeah, he gave me the jacket back, sorry, yeah.
What designer was it, Tony?
Can you remember?
I can't remember, no.
No?
It would have been...
Tom Ford, probably.
Yeah, yeah.
A couple of thousand pounds worth.
A couple of thousand pounds couple of thousand pounds
oh yeah
yeah yeah
F and F
yeah
it's your grandad
Pablo Escobar
what's going on
yeah yeah
so he gives me
the jacket back
and then he says
he's lost the pants
so this is like
a hurried up version
of the story
so he ends up
taking a piss a bit
so I end up
threatening him
outside Envy
for you
I'm not that kind of guy
can you remember how that went down
yes I can remember how that went down
so Luke said
so everyone's queuing up to go into the comedy club
I'm outside having a ciggy
and Luke walks past
so I've seen him
when he's been avoiding me
I've said hey
where's me fucking grandad's kicks
but like there's people outside
queuing up
all the same now
like this
like what
this is going to be
a very professional evening
where is his
grandad's kicks
these are thinking
you know what I mean
so Luke stops
like that
freezes
and he goes
oh Tony like
that's what he used to do
yeah
he has Tourette's
that's not
he's not just being a dick
Luke Montague's got Tourette's
yeah he does
so
so he
so he ends up saying
oh no I don't know
I don't know whatever
he said I'll find him
I'll find him
so then I've said to him
listen lad
I said next time I see you
you best have me granad's pants
or I'm gonna punch your head in
that was it
you know what I mean
so
so he ends up
very straightforward set there
you know
there's only one
there's only one solution
you live by the code you die by the cold
so a few weeks later he's on the on first in the gig or something or whatever and i end up going down
it wasn't just for me i wasn't going down for me on his kegs i was obviously going down comedy or
whatever and um he ends up just going there leaves a bag with adam and paul he says oh there's tony's yn mynd yno ac yn gadael yn y bag gyda Adam a Paul ac yn dweud, oedd Tony'n cael ei ghecs. Nawr mae'r gwaith o'i gwneud yn 32 o fath neu beth.
Ac mae'n ei bag. Felly pan dwi'n mynd i'r gig,
ar ôl ei fod wedi'i gadael, dwi'n mynd i mewn ac mae Adam yn mynd, oedd Luke wedi droi ei gwech o'i llaw.
Felly mae'n ei ddodd. Felly mae'n ei gwneud ac mae'r gwech yn greu.
Mae'n blach ar y dechrau. Felly dwi'n meddwl, beth yw hyn? Felly dwi'n ei gwneud. And the keks were grey, right? These were black at the start, right? So I thought, what the fuck's this?
I opened them, and the waist's like that.
Like, I'm a big guy here, and you're bigger than me, right?
And I'm talking like this.
As they're George, six-pound keks, black keks. With the tag still on them.
And I just thought, what the fuck?
And then, honest to God, I think...
Yeah, I haven't seen him since has he
what's happened
because I remember thinking this
when we told the story
on episode 4
which is nearly a year ago
I remember thinking
what has happened
has he
has he just
has he lost them
no
you don't lose a pair of pants
so
the spits he's missed out there
so what happened
this is my best memory of it
and
we're all going to tell a story
about my gonads kegs
I've got one as well
so
what I remember is
he told you we'd lost them
and you were like
you come over to me and Paul
who were crying laughing
and you were like
what do I even do about that lad
and we were like
you can't really do anything
because you're like
well if he's actually lost
a pair of kegs
you just can't get them back like he's if he's actually lost a pair of kegs you
just can't get them back like he's not going to be able to match them to the fucking jacket they're
just gone so you either make him pay for them or you don't and you felt like i'll ask because you
knew he had no money because he would have just bought a fucking suit in the first place and then
a couple of weeks later he knew you weren't on and he come and did the gig in envy in the pants
and me and me and paul did you know about
this me and paul smith took a look no he did no i'm just i'm just not happy now yeah i mean paul
smith took a photo of luke and the kecks and sent it to you and you were like with the caption
lads are these your granddad's kids i can't remember that and you were like keep him near
and then he got off
and then you were like
you spoke to him
or like on the phone
or whatever
and you were like
get the fucking
next
I'm coming down
next Sunday
you better be there
with me keks
and he turned up
at like fucking
six o'clock
and I'd been working
in envy for like
the footy or whatever
and he gave me the keks
and just fucked off
and then when I gave you
the bag later
you thought I was
taking the piss at first
because I handed you this bag.
And it's these fucking enormous,
size 43-inch weasels
and six pounds sticking still on it.
And from that day,
I've never seen Luke again.
And he deleted us all off Facebook and all that.
Jesus.
By the way, for Jilly Bean,
keks are trousers.
Or pants.
I think she got it with the visual. To be fair to Tony, we're using keks or trousers or pants I think she got it with the visual
to be fair to Tony
we're using keks
but who owns the rights
to the script
that's the question
when Hollywood comes
fucking knocking
like
imagine that for a movie
yeah
where's my grandad's keks
Guy Ritchie
he's gonna play me though
he's gonna have to be
someone fucking hard
let me tell you that
oh my god
he's gonna play you
Jean-Claude Van Damme can I can I play you John Claude Van Damme
can I play you
John Claude Van Damme
yeah I reckon so
Rikishi
the wrestler
why
I don't fucking know
Rikishi
why is that
Rikishi
I just remember one time
Tony tagged me in a
a photo on Facebook
it was of an action figure
of a wrestler
and you were like
doing one of my
things and then I tagged you
in a Rikishi picture
it just came to me
yeah because you used to do
that bit didn't you
where you used to go
with your hand
what was it
what was it
oh
this'll be a good game
what was it
old bits that Adam's forgotten
oh
I know exactly
what one he's on about
I was gonna fucking
batter her
but I thought
nah
I used to go
I was gonna fucking
batter her but I thought nah and he's go I was gonna fucking batter her
but I thought nah
and he's doing this thing
with his hand
this was a true
true story
but like
not good stand up
but it worked
when you're starting out
none of it's great
stand up
we all had some
terrible stuff like
I heard two girls
talking
one of them said
I was gonna fucking
batter her
but I thought nah
I'll just get fingered
by her fella instead
on the back on the bus
yeah
and I used to tell
that story
and he had an action figure
of Ray Mysterio
the wrestler
and he bent like
the hand into
the position
I used to do people's
sets with action figures
at home
and just get them
and you did
in the telling of the story
you did the hand like
nah
but I thought
nah
I'll just get fingered by her fella instead oh you all know In the telling of the story, you did the hand like, nah. Well, I thought, nah.
I'll just get fingered by a felon instead.
Oh, you all know each other's bit.
Tony, can we have one of your classics?
Oh, no, no, no, my turn.
My turn.
Go on.
See, this is like, because you don't do stand-up anymore, really,
and when you do, you've come away from what you did at the start.
This is proper memory lane for me and you won't have
seen Tony too much
when he's last now
because he didn't
do much other than
envy and Bobby
Murdoch's gig
because he just
did
Bobby you're like
that by the way
yeah
big Bobby
I love Bobby
so
Tony used to
do a character
Tony's character
was
a victim of domestic violence.
Tommy wouldn't play, no.
So he'd go on stage.
As a bloke who's suffered domestic violence.
Kind of ahead of your time on that one.
I'm telling you.
Do you know what happened as well?
Trying to redress the...
Do you want to tell you what happened, right?
Why I was half pissed off,
why I stopped doing the character,
was because on, you know, Coronation Street,
they robbed my set, right?
I'm convinced.
I'm convinced, yeah,
because I've done Meet the Frog a few times, yeah.
So I reckon I've done it on stage there
and there's been like the writers on a night out or something.
I thought, yeah,
I'm going to steal that for the fucking Corrie.
And remember Tyrone?
Yeah.
Off Connison Street.
I'm just saying, yeah.
Oh, Tyrone.
No, Tyrone's a fucking OG.
Tyrone is like a legend, mate.
He's like a mechanic,
like a little fuckhead.
He works for Kevin Webster?
Yeah, he's Kev's.
Who?
Hey!
Oh.
He works for him.
That sounds not like him. Mate. Kevin, are you having a laugh? Tony, did he tell you? Not It works for him. That sounds not like him.
Mate.
Are you having a laugh?
Tony, did he tell you?
Not doing it for Sophie.
Not doing it for Rosie.
It's his first time here.
He's beside me.
Tony, has he told you to mention Coronation Street?
Right.
Tyrone!
Fix that fucking car, bro.
Tyrone is like Kevin Webster's apprentice, yeah?
Some fuckhead, yeah?
So, he was getting domestically abused by his girlfriend. Fix that fucking car, bro. Ty Rhodes, like Kevin Webster's apprentice, yeah. Some fuckhead, yeah. And, um,
he,
so,
he was getting
domestically abused
by his girlfriend, right?
Fizz.
Molly?
It was Molly.
That was Molly, wasn't it?
Yeah.
I don't watch it.
Lost in the weeds.
Carl just saw me.
Who was it?
Fizz got a ways to watch it.
So,
like, that's,
it's bad.
Don't get me wrong,
like, I don't support
any of that.
Like, I'm not taking
the piss out of it.
Thank you for clarifying
Tony Carroll would like
to go on record
to say
he is not in favour
of domestic violence
and I wasn't taking
the piss out of it
when I did my character
at comedy clubs
I was actually trying
to highlight the problem
yeah I was
I'm raising awareness
no
so what I was doing
I was like
I was
my character was about
thinking it was
it was domestic abuse
but it wasn't it was it was domestic abuse but it
wasn't it was just silly stuff you know what i mean like i used to say she used to make me beans
on toast with only one piece of toast and get them sets on stage right it was fucking genius right
well ahead of its time i'm a victim now so i just thought i'd own and the coordination
writers stole my character now i now if you're watching this, I want to know if you did.
Coronation Street.
What other lines from it were there?
That's such a good line.
I remember me just opening mine.
I met her at the gym.
I was on one treadmill, she was on another.
Mine wasn't going, I was just standing on it.
I used to say she woke me up in the middle of the night
screaming and shouting,
where the fuck is my lighter?
The only problem is she doesn't even smoke.
It was so good.
I'm bringing it back.
Do you know what?
I enjoyed it so much.
Do you know what?
Literally, this act,
as ridiculous as it sounds right now,
was unfollowable.
If he went on
it would just
level the place
and the next act on
it's just like
the fucking gig's done
he really made it
believable
he went on
because you
you used to wear like a
you used to wear trousers
and like a shirt
and tie
you used to wear a pair
of proper kegs
a belt
shirt and tie
so he looked like
some fucking accountant
suicidal accountant
who's just come
straight from work
and just had things
to get off his chest
about his
can you remember
any of the other lines
erm
no I think that was it
is this like
what we're talking now
8 years ago
you lasted comedy
9, 10
no no
I haven't lasted it
when did you
when did you
so after I've done that character for like a year or two years it wasn't really that was just a joke so Cymdeithas? Yn ystod y ddynion. Yn ystod y ddynion. Yn ystod y ddynion. Yn ystod y ddynion.
Yn ystod y ddynion.
Yn ystod y ddynion.
Yn ystod y ddynion.
Yn ystod y ddynion.

Yn ystod y ddynion.
Yn ystod y ddynion. Yn ystod y ddynion. Yn ystod y ddynion. Yn ystod y ddynion. Yn ystod y ddynion. I'm fucking a weirdo or you know what I mean like it was fucking it was good like I used to just absolutely tear it up
yeah
then the next gig
I'd die on my ass
and then the next gig
take the roof off
next gig
die on my ass
and I thought
it's just
it's fucking me mind up here
you know what I mean
because
not to get too wanky about it
it's quite clever
it's quite a clever premise
yeah
and if
crowds are like
what
yeah yeah
like a lot of British comedy now
because we're
our stuff is the mainstream
it's very like
this is me
have you ever done this?
I've done this
and crowds love it.
Yeah, yeah.
There is more
complicated set ups
and that's kind of
it's kind of a more
complicated set up
so if a crowd are like
what?
That's not domestic violence
you're like
I think you're the first person
who's ever accused Tony
of being too clever
for the crowd.
Look at him sat there all happy with himself
like
damn I can go off
in some fucking intelligence
I'm tired now
but I think that's true
isn't it
yeah I think that's what
the biggest problem was
I couldn't get consistency
with the act
you know what I mean
so I used to do my head in a lot
so I just decided
like Adam and the lads
like after gigs
and when I've done that on stage
if you can see me
in a green room after it
it's just like who I am just one of the lads you know what I mean like I like just fucking taking the piss out of people so they used to say to me Yn ôl y gigau, pan wnes i wneud hynny ar ystafell, os ydych chi'n gweld fi yn y llyfr yn ôl, mae'n dweud wrthych chi, mae'n dweud wrthych chi.
Rwy'n cymryd y llyfrau.
Roeddent yn dweud wrthych chi, mae'n ddiddorol i mi fod yn fy hun.
Ond rwy'n credu pan dechreuais, roeddwn i'n dal i ffynnu ar gyfer gynrychiolion oherwydd roeddwn i'n hwyr yn eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eithaf eith you know what I mean it's not me myself so I think I was half scared starting oh my god I wasn't expecting
such a personal revelation
well you know
I'm just spitting facts
that's why we're here
you know what I mean
yeah if you totally
open up
and yourself
you're dying
where do you think
that fear of exposing
yourself comes from
oh my god Adam
let me do it again
Tony
one time when I was a kid
and my uncle Ian
come round
oh god I'm joking how many slices of toast would you have with your beans Tony. One time when I was a kid and my uncle Ian come round. Oh God.
I'm joking.
How many slices of toast
were there?
Were they beans?
He was done.
It was just beans!
Just beans!
That's it!
I used to love you
getting the one
you're getting tired of
and bummed that one.
That was a funny routine.
That's probably my best
ever joke I think.
Oh,
Carl's got none of this.
You can't,
and Carl,
what was one of your bits
from back in the day
Because you were always
Like yeah
I'll out put it on
Do you remember
That seat implant
That Carl did
In 2011
Table of 40
At the front
Fucking hell Carl
So I think what happened
Was
The final store
Was the Canadian
Year final
The Hot Wheels
Canadian final When I lost To my arch nemesis Adam Rowe Oh mate So I think what happened was the final straw was the comedian of the year final. The Hot Wheels comedian of the final.
When I lost to my arch nemesis, Adam Rowe.
Oh, mate.
Have you seen Karate Kid?
Like Cobra Kai, isn't it?
That's what we are.
When we're a bit older, we have kids.
Me and Adam are going to seem to be standard comedians
and they're going to meet in the final.
Right.
Yeah.
It's going to be hell.
So the year he's talking about
Vinnie Rowe
2010
no it was
Friday the 6th of November
2011
alright Rayman
alright
are you messing
he's had it tattooed
on his dick
every time he gets
hard even
if I'm in town
and I place your hands
by reef
I've got to leave
wherever I am
tell him what you're
what was your walk on song
what was my one
yeah
it's how do I live
by Liam Rimes
oh yeah
so he'd walk on
to how do I live
by Liam Rimes
and then pretend to be
a victim of domestic violence
that's a great walk on song
how do I
get through
a night without you
and she's walked down
like that
everyone's got
everyone else has got the foo fires.
Yeah, everyone's all amped up on that community final.
I'm walking down, everyone's like,
what the fuck's this kid doing here?
I had a stinker.
But we were all mates on that final.
It was quite weird and quite insular,
and Hot Water was criticised at the time
because it's such a scouse club,
and all the finalists either lived in Liverpool or were scousers,
so it was me, Tony, Lewis Calvert.
For Liverpool Comedian of the Year.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not the end of the world.
No, but, like, everyone was allowed to enter.
It just so happened that the finalists was full of Scousers.
It was Jay Edwards, wasn't it?
No.
Dave Ernie was one.
Kearney.
Kearney.
There's a lot of names that you don't need to know here.
Yeah.
I don't know them.
It's not like you're...
Oh, yeah. And maybe I'll google some of these names
these are all like they're not comics anymore
it's only Adam that's doing anything
the title went to the
right winner you know what I mean
longevity yeah
I could have been sitting next to that now
only if I would have won that part
couldn't make Covid
yeah so me and Tony were like Yr unig ffordd roeddwn i wedi gwneud hynny o'r pwynt hwn. Mae'n rhaid i ni wneud Covid.
I mi a Tony roeddwn ni'n ddau dda a byddwn ni'n ymlaen â'i gilydd.
Beth fyddai'n mynd i'w gynnal?
Roedd hynny'n rhaid i ni ddweud wrth i ni ddweud.
Yn ôl, roedd y clwb yn dweud, roedd Adam a Adam yn gweithio yn MV hefyd.
Roedd y staff yno.
Yn ystod y dyddiau cyn hyn, roedd pawb yn dweud,
Mae Tony'n mynd i gynnal, mae Adam yn mynd i gynnal.
Roedd yn beth mawr i ni.
Yn ystod y dydd, na oedd unrhyw ffrind yn maru neu beth?
Na, nid oedd yn maru.
Roedd Ben yn y tîm ffwrdd o ran y rhanbarth.
Roeddwn i'n gael rhai gêm ar y dydd.
Roedd fy nghyngor yn y tîm agored, ond roeddwn i'n 18 pan oeddwn i'n rhanbarth.
Roedd ben yn cael ei dynnu'n llwyr, ond roedd y chynnydd yn mynd i'n rheolwr. Roedd fy nghydweithiwr Ben wedi cael slydiadau, ond roedd y
ffwrdd o'i blent yn ei llaw ac fe wnaeth ei ddysgu. Felly roeddwn i'n ysbyt â nhw
oherwydd roeddwn i'n rheolwr. Roeddwn i'n 18 ac roedd hi'n ychydig o flynyddoedd yn fynyddoedd.
Roedd ei mam a'i tân ar y hôl ar y hôl neu rywle, felly doedd gen i ddim o ddodd-drych. Felly roedd rhaid i mi
eistedd ymlaen ym ysbyt â nhw. Ac roedd hynny'n ddrwg i mi.
Yn gweithio ar eich nodau.
Dwi ddim yn dweud fy mod yn hapus bod hynny wedi digwydd i'w. Mae'n dda nawr, mae'n dda nawr. working on your notes I'm not saying I'm glad that happened to him do you know what I mean but like
you know
he's sound now isn't he
no regrets
yeah he's alright now
just at the time
because the impact
he thought he was going to go
how can he see now
he's got like 70%
oh that's fine
I'm fucking made up
it happened yeah
yeah it threw me off like
what's the cut off
where you feel bad
yeah
lower than 70%
so you did a few more years
of stand up
and then you packed it in
no so after that
that was the last character act I thought fuck you know I'm going to leave that then I just started writing just about Ie, mae'n rhaid i mi gael y gwaith. Felly fe wnaethoch chi ddod i'r stand-up ychydig mwy o flynyddoedd a wedyn fe wnaethoch chi ei gosod? Ie, felly ar ôl hynny, dyna'r pen ddwy o'r cerdded i'r cerdded.
Fe wnes i ddod i'r cerdded a ddechreuais i ysgrifennu am bethau.
Ac wedyn, fe wnes i ddod â phwysig iawn o ran fy mab a'r hynny,
oherwydd yn amlwg rwy'n byw gyda nhw.
Dwi'n dweud am fy mab a'r cerdded, oherwydd nid yw'n ffordd i mi fynd i fy mab a'r cerdded.
Ydych chi'n blant mab a'r cerdded yna?
Ie, i'r blaen.
Ie, fel blant mab, ond fel...
Ie, rwy'n gweld hynny. Yn wir, rwy'n wir hefyd, ond... Rwy'n gweld hynny. Yeah? Like a nan kid? Yeah, yeah. Seen that bit of old, yeah. Actually, yeah,
I'm weird as well, aren't I?
I am, aren't I?
Yeah, you are weird.
Yeah.
Our grandad kids are even
one up, I suppose.
Yeah, probably, yeah.
That's really...
He had a big influence though
because he was performing
back in the day and stuff like that
so I had like...
Was he?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What did he do, your grandad?
My grandad was a singer though.
Wow.
He was really good.
Frank Sinatra?
Yeah. Yeah. He was a singer though wow he was really good Frank Sinatra yeah yeah
he was a singer as well
like that
like that's another singer
yeah that's a singer
can you frame a reference

yeah because she's a singer
isn't she

you don't know who Erykah Badu is
who's Erykah Badu?
like your grandad go on Erykah Badu so he had a big influence Erika Baddyn. Yr hyn yw hyn? Mae'n gynhyrch. Dydwch chi ddim yn gwybod erika Baddyn? Yr hyn yw erika Baddyn?
Fel eich granddad.
Erika Baddyn.
Felly roedd gen i ddiddordeb mawr ar gynhyrchu, pethau fel hyn pan oeddwn yn ifanc ac roedd
yna bach o gynhyrchu cyn i mi ddod i'r dyfodol, stand up a phethau fel hynny. Felly pan oeddwn i'n
ysgrifennu pethau roedd yn ddiddordeb eithaf oedol ond yna roeddwn i'n rhoi
gwisgo arnyn nhw, fath o newydd, felly doedd dim yn unig o'r hach.
Dim unig o'r hach, roedd yn cael ei ddwyn. then I put a twist on them like new ones so it wasn't like a hack but it was like a semi
it wasn't a hack
they were stolen
it was semi
it was semi hack stuff
and then after that
that was just a
ironic hack
I'm not ashamed to say it
and if anyone wants to
fucking say it
the cat on the roof
is the perfect example isn't it
yeah
the cat on the roof joke
yeah exactly
stuff like that
I'm not gonna say it
oh come on
you can't say cat on the roof joke
it's a joke joke
just do it
it's a
it's a classic innit
go on
yeah
what is it
you go
we're on an oldie
and you have to look after her
oh yeah
my girlfriend asked me
to mind the cat
while she was on an oldie
and then
and she asked me
to mind the mum as well
an elderly mum
while she was on an oldie
and then she rings me
and she says
hi babe I was the cat and I say it's dead she starts crying and I go hefyd, i fy mab oedol, pan oedd hi ar y ffordd. Yna, mae hi'n sgrinio ati i mi ac mae hi'n dweud,
Hi babe, mae'r gwartheg yma. Ac rwy'n dweud, mae'n marw. Mae hi'n dechrau cofio, ac mae hi'n mynd i
ymrwymiad ffôn neu beth bynnag, mae hi'n cofio. Ac yna, mae hi'n dweud, mae hi'n mor marw. Ac yna...
Rwy'n gwybod y sgwrs. Felly mae hi'n sgrinio.
Jesus, Tony, mae wedi bod am amser arno.
Mae'n ychydig o flynyddoedd.
Rwy'n cofio, mae'r sgwrs yn mynd, mae'r mab yn marw. Gwna i ddim arall. Felly, mae'n dweud, mi... O, na, mae fy gwartheg yma. Mae'n mynd ar y llwyth. Mae'n marw. I remember the joke goes your mum's dead hang on I got nothing else
so he'd say
how's me cat
it's dead
she goes
is it dead
and he'd go
yeah it's dead
you didn't fucking have to say it like that
did you
why the fuck do you want me to say it
well you could have been a bit more
like
kind about it
put a bit of mystery in it
say like
he climbed up on the roof
and died peacefully
eee
eee
ask me mum
well she climbed up on the roof
that's exactly how it was
Adam you can have it mate
you can have it
but that's not
like he'd
he'd talk like an old
pub joke
and he'd he'd add a bit old pub joke and he'd add a bit
of acting to it
yeah
because he had no
ambition to ever do
any gigs on weekends
or at water
he didn't give a shit
but you've got a
following though
even now you've got
a following
yeah to be fair
I've got a really
good following
to be honest
every time I go
back on
when I say like
hot water
something on a
Tuesday when I'm
just bored or
something I say
oh yeah I'll just
jump
like the last one
I've done
it was like 200 tickets free on a tuesday they had they had like
not many in and i just jumped on me and just sold it out on a tuesday 180 people
so many of his mates and like like he's got like his little tony's yeah no it's because you're
known in town now yeah i think that's what it is yeah i think it's just because you like to follow
what what i do i've got a quite a good a good name aren't you? Yeah, I think that's what it is, yeah, I think it's just because you like to follow what I do,
I've got quite a good name,
you know what I mean?
And that's because of what?
Because you quit stand-up
and went into,
you're working nightclubs and stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
That's it.
So you're a face, aren't you?
General manager of one of the most
popular nightclubs in the city.
Yes.
Ink Bar.
I'm 54.
54, yeah.
Are you GM of 54?
Yeah, well, I do both now.
Yeah, yeah.
I've got a different role now,
so I work for 54 and Ink now.
Oh, shit, okay.
Yeah, so I've just...
It's been a shite year for you,
it's been shite enough to stand up.
It's been terrible.
You've got bricks and mortar to worry about.
Yeah, it's been terrible.
But, as I say,
there's nothing we can do about it,
so we've just got to crack on.
There's no point in getting...
We were just saying before, like, looking forward,
everyone's like, I think it could be all right, bye.
And we've been doing it all year.
How's it in your industry?
Like, what...
Because we got to gig again.
Yeah.
We got to gig.
We got to open, but fucking serving food and stuff like that went...
Which people love in a nightclub, don't they?
Yeah, it was just... Toasty when you're trying to bang someone. Yeah, it was just terrible, but... ffocon gwasgaru bwyd a phethau fel hynny pan roedd pobl yn ei fwynhau mewn cwbl ysgol ydynt yn dda
toasty pan fyddwch yn ceisio bwydo rhywun roedd yn ddrwg ond
nid oeddem ni eisiau penderfynu'r gwirionedd a phethau fel hynny ond
yn y diwedd oherwydd bod pawb arall yn ei wneud mae'n rhaid i chi fynd ymlaen â'r
achos mae gennym bobl yn cael 40 pan oeddwn i'n
rheolwr cyffredinol o inc mae pawb yn cael ei
newid nawr ond pan oeddwn i yno roedd gen i 40 staff a
mae pawb yn cael teuluoedd a phethau
ac rydych chi'n dechrau teimlo eich hun. Nid yn unig am chi, mae'n unig am nhw hefyd. Felly,
rydych chi'n ymdrech amdano, ond yna rydych chi'n cael neges i staff a chyflawni glas a phethau yn dweud
fel, a ydych chi'n gwybod pan fyddwn i'n mynd i agor eto? Rwy'n dechrau... Ie, gadewch i mi...
Rwy'n siarad gyda Matt Hancock. Ie, oherwydd rwy'n y rheolwr cyffredinol o Ynch yn Llywodraeth, felly byddaf yn cael
ei ddod ar ddial gyrff. Matt, allwch chi agor? Mae gennym rhai gylchglau sydd angen rhai arian. Ie, because I'm the general manager of ink in Liverpool so I'll get him on speed dial Mark could you open up we've got some glass collectors
need some money
so it was tough but as I say I've got
this approach I think
what happened when I was a bit younger
I was going back for the stand up thing
and that's what I brought into the nightclub thing
that's why I'm a bit more confident
because when I was younger
doing the stand up and the character stuff
I was very insecure and I was younger doing the stand up and the character stuff I was very
insecure
and like
I was very shy
you wouldn't think so
but I was
and then one day
I just woke up
yeah
and I thought
I don't give a fuck anymore
it was weird
and ever since then
just
was there anything
that happened the night
before there
did you have some DMT
or
it was just honesty
like I can't explain it
I remember
I used to be dead
self conscious
in that though
didn't I
like I used to oh it's one of the best things you can ever get to that point where you're like oh I can't explain it I remember when I used to be dead self conscious in that though didn't I oh it's one of the best things
you can ever get to that point
where you're like
oh I don't give a shit
but you know what Dan
I used to
like
because I've always been a big guy
I was taught like
I used to wear like coats
in the summer
to think like
it's going to hide the fact
that I've got tits in the belly
you know what I mean
yeah yeah yeah
stuff like that
and if it was on a lads all day
I wouldn't get my t-shirt off
and just wear it t-shirt in the pool yeah yeah and then one day I if it was on a lads all day I wouldn't get my t-shirt off and just go t-shirt in the pool
yeah
yeah
and then one day
I just woke up
I can remember it
and just woke up
and thought
why am I arsed
like I don't give a fuck
what people think or say
oh it's a nice
it's a nice place to get to
I've been such a
well better person
since then
like now I just
take my top off
and fucking
tie it on her
not even on holiday
sit there having a scan
and I'm just like
fuck off
I don't care
those changing rooms
open love
not even asked
mate I'm not even
telling you again
you don't get your tits
out in Wilco
I shouldn't have to
say it again
and then like
my fashion sense
was terrible
and stuff like that
and then I just
started getting into
more like
more expressing myself
you know what I mean
oh my god
you're a new woman
you did take your top off in Ibiza though for a specific reason do you remember no started getting into more, like, more expressing myself, you know what I mean? Oh, my God, you're a new woman.
You did take your top off in Ibiza, though, for a specific reason.
Do you remember?
No.
We went to Ibiza and we all did shots.
Oh, yeah.
So it was Ibiza, September, hot, obviously.
We're at the pool. Oh, no.
All of us sweating like a motherfucker.
And I think it was Jago said,
oh, let's all do shots out of Tony's belly button.
So we all poured apple...
Not the shot glass in the belly button.
Is that in there?
No, it didn't go.
All right.
So we all poured apple schnapps into Tony's belly button
and shot out of it on a hot, sweaty, heavy day.
And all the girls around the pool went,
oh, I'm going to need some cleaners to dry this popper down. tea every third day. And all the girls around the pool went, woo!
Oh, I'm going to need some clean air
to dry this popper down.
Damn!
Oh, that's got me
sweating in all my places.
What do you do
if we brought Tony in
one day for a lockdown lock-in?
Would you do a shot
out of his...
Just get him...
I'd convert to Islam
before I did
apple sours
out of your fucking belly button. It's clean then as well. I would convert to Islam before I did apple sours out of your fucking belly button.
It's clean, Dan, it's fine.
I would have to be in full PPE.
Jesus Christ.
No, I mean, it's different when it's a lad's holiday.
This is why dickheads come back with broken legs in it.
Once the, no no we should do it
you don't want to be
the one going
I think that's unhygienic
that's not the
that's not the chat

19s were we
yeah about 19
how did you do it
did you just lie there
did you do one

is this the video of it
do you lie on the side
of the pool
on my holiday though
and when you go on holiday
when you're younger
you just
it's just like
shit that you do and then when you're old and you go on holiday When you're younger You just It's just like The shit that you do
And then when you're old
And you go on holiday
And you think
Why would I even do that
You know what I mean
Like me and Carl

You'd just be sat there
With a pint of shandy
For the week wouldn't you

health issues, including anxiety, depression, acne, psoriasis, and heart disease. For those with
cancer, it may even provide a natural alternative for pain and symptom relief. Look, I'm not saying
it's a wonder drug, but people are starting to trust CBD oil as an alternative to chemical-based
medication. It could work for you for any one of those things.
It's worth a try.

of Tony
you wanna see his
face
it's important
Tom Tanner says
if you could have
the set of any
game show
down the years
in your house
which one would it
be
I'd have to go for
total wipeout
it's not a game
show is it
well
it's a TV show
where people run
around and shit it's kind of a game show isn't it that's what, it counts. It's a TV show where people run around and shit.
It's kind of a game show, isn't it?
That's what he means, isn't it?
He's got his castle, then.
Yeah.
I'd be fucking bossed out.
Might I be the chief?
Because I look like fucking Mark Lebet.
You just watch TV.
Me just sitting at the top of a massive list.
Grandad!
Me just sitting at the top of the stairs, like that.
I'd do that anyway. The beast. The beast, what a guy. Grandad Me just sitting At the top of the stairs Like that I just thought anyway
The beast
What a guy
When I was a kid
I used to
On my own
Pretend I was Mufasa
On the stairs
Playing Lion King
And then I'd throw myself up
The cube would be boss though
Wouldn't it
Fuck yeah
Do the whole fucking script
Hey the cube would be great
Yeah
Just have a big cube in your house
And you could fuck
Phil Schofield in a break
It's the middle of winter And I've got a toddler Anything like Just have a big cube in your house and you can fuck Phil Schofield in a break.
It's the middle of winter and I've got a toddler.
Anything like Total Wipeout would be fucking amazing.
Like a safer version of it.
I feel for it.
Just in the house again.
Everything's fucking freezing.
It'd be great if we had a proper soft playroom. If you just jammed in everything from a kid's tv show oh 50 50
remember that 50 50 yeah it was on um bbc after school when we went to school and it was two
schools versus each other and they do all like soft play shit like that it's fucking boss i am
i want to do tip and point i love those 2p machines at the fair
what?
have you seen tip and point?
yeah
it's like the 2p machines
isn't it?
there's a TV
there's a TV
could you imagine
how budget that would be
you know when people
get rich
and they get like
Street Fighter 2
or something
like the console game
if Adam
in his game room
had a fucking
2p machine
where every night he'd win and then
have to like put the two peas out so the balance in oh we did to play that when we used to we used
to it was the person to get rid of their two peas one oh right okay yeah yeah yeah yeah because the
thing yeah because you'd win shit fuck's sake you have to get rid of it that quick oh that's good
yeah because you'd win like four people and wasn't me i had money the game for those
was that get rid of them all get rid of your coins first wins i i get weird about the 2p machines
i just get it in my head that once you know you walk around the 2p machines you've got you like
a pound of 2ps and then you're like right that one looks like it's ready to drop as soon as i put
that all super glued on mate it's all a fucking rigged as soon as i put that first... They're all super glued on, mate. It's all a fucking rigged game. As soon as I put that first 2P in,
I then can't leave that machine.
Yeah.
Because my worst nightmare is...
That's how they get you.
...putting fucking 80 pence of 2Ps in...
Hundreds of millions of pounds every year
are spent on those machines.
Hundreds of millions.
Yeah.
Hundreds of millions every year.
That's fucking thin.
Rill knows.
That's how Rill's
built
Rill is built
on stolen 2Ps
because they fucking
get you in
because they have
they have them all
exactly
they have them all
hanging over the edge
how do you think
they played for
fucking SC2
that's what I mean
they've got their own bank
hundreds of millions

Rill's one of the only four countries one of the four places in the whole world right I've seen a documentary about it on YouTube. If you want to withdraw, it's a bit of a ball, because it's in two piece.
Rhyl's one of the only four places in the whole world, right,

I just really want Philip Schofield in my house.
He'd ruin you.
I'd love to bump Philip Schofield.
I'd love to bump Philip Schofield I'd love to see you I don't know
what an awful image
what
I don't think it's awful
Adam is it
why
I think it'd be alright
it's the love between
one of your friends
and a famous British TV presenter
I wouldn't just bump
Philip Schofield
and leg him
I'd actually like
get rid of him
you know what I mean
get to know him
would you have sex with a man?
Would you ever try it?
I would make love to Philip Scofield.
How have we got here?
I wouldn't just fuck him.
I wouldn't just, like, bum him, like, hard.
You're looking...
I'd make love to Philip Scofield.
If you watch him, Phil.
Philip, please.
Just answer me DMs.
I keep messaging you and you're not reading them.
You know, when Philip Schofield
came out as gay
do you reckon he was
after Tony Carroll
I was like this
yes
I can finally
bump Phil Schofield
do you know he
he asked Lana Del Rey
to marry him that much
on Twitter
she followed
she followed me on Twitter
you know
Lana Del Rey
what a combo
I've been doing the scenes
with Phil
and he just won't answer
you are looking for love though aren't you I am looking for love yes when was the last time you were What a combo. I've been doing scenes with Phil and he just won't answer.
You are looking for love though,
aren't you?
I am looking for love, yes.
When was the last time you were pounding puss?
Jesus.
You asked me if you shag a man
five seconds ago.
Pounding puss?
It's only been a few weeks.
Yeah.
But, I mean,
I want love though.
I want the fairy tale,
you know what I mean?
You want the fairy tale.
Yeah.
So what are you looking for
in a woman?
Or TV presenter.
If Phil doesn't get back to me, right?
Nah, what am I looking for in a woman?
Someone who's trustworthy.
Because I'm going to have an empire soon.
I don't want her to, like, fuck me over, you know what I mean?
I want her to...
Hello, we want prenup!
We want prenup!
Exactly.
Would you make her sign want prenup we want prenup exactly would you make a sign
of prenup
erm
no
she's just
she's got to be able
to trust people
haven't you
you know what I mean
she's got to be
trustworthy
she's got to be
she's got to be funny
that's it really
over six foot
no like
like small
like small
girls to be honest
so
a
trustworthy midget
basically
I want her to be
small
and trustworthy
like a fucking
goblin
from
Gringotts
you can trust her
with your money
and she dies
Mr Carroll's room
is this way
if there was a woman
right
who was really
trustworthy
and you'd like
you'd seen a picture of her on the internet,
and she looked fucking stunning,
but then you met her, and she was seven foot,
would you still go out with her?
Is trustworthiness, does that outweigh the height,
or does the height outweigh...
Would you rather have a lying midget
or a really trustworthy basketball player?
Well, I still run a football team, don't I?
I'm looking for the centre-back, so...
Yeah.
She can play centre-half for me.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
No, but which would you rather be with, like, long-term?
Really tall and trustworthy or a lion little dwarf?
A really tall, trustworthy person.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Who would you rather be with?
Height's a weird one, isn't it?
Yeah, it is, isn't it?
It's quite a sexist thing.
Women want tall men.
Total generalisation.
But traditionally,
and then men do not want women that are loads taller.
I've seen a tweet about this.
Apparently, men want small women
because they want to be able to control them.
And women want tall men because they want to be controlled.
I'm not saying I agree with it.
I'm just saying it was on Twitter
and the person who posted it
was a tall black woman.
No one lies on Twitter.
We've already proved that.
He's on Philip Schofield.
He's on Philip Schofield.
How tall is Philip Schofield?
5'9".
Do you have a look?
Do you have a look for us?
Can you Google how tall Philip Schofield is?
I never thought I'd ask that question.
Philip Schofield has got a clean backside area,
because he is gay, and he definitely keeps it neat.
You're a bit obsessed with people's clean bums.
Start to think about it more.
Since we've shaved Brennan's bum,
you've mentioned clean bums a lot.
Is everything, what's getting,
has Manscaped not brought out the bum eater or whatever?
I just, I'm just like.
I'm going to have to work on the name of that.
Like, you know, I just,
I'm sort of wondering how many men
have some anal hygiene regime.
But what's making this?
I don't really know where it's come from.
Yeah.
I just think, you know.
Just if you, you know. Like if it's really hairy, it's come from yeah I just think you know just if you you know
like if it's really hairy
it's not very cleanly
is it like
there's gonna be
still be poo particles
on there when you
Philip Schofield's 5'11
5'11
same size as me
so
are you 5'11 yeah
the kiss will be perfect
Jesus Christ
Connor Mudge says
if you could live
one day in the life
of any comedian
who would it be and why?
you get to live one
day in the life, I mean waking up
in his or her
family home is going to be weird
but then performing as them
although you're not going to know they're set
so it's going to get weird pretty quick
I'm happy
do you wake up and like
if that's such a psycho answer.
Can he be dead?
Yeah, but that's just a cape, isn't it?
You just want to rest.
No, can the comedian be dead?
Well, I suppose it's a hypothetical.
You could choose when and who.
I reckon Bernie Mac would have been good.
Yeah.
Oh my God,
when he was doing the King of Comedy tour.
Oh, so good.
Or to do the Def Jam.
The problem is though,
you've got to be able to go out as Bernie
Mac and do, do you know what I mean?
If you go out as Bernie Mac
and then you have your accent and go
yeah I'm a victim of domestic
abuse
look so weird
I ain't scared of you motherfuckers
I'm big boned
a day in the life of is you are them aren't you? you motherfuckers I'm big boned A day in the life of is
You are them aren't you
You experience what they experience
Yeah
Be nice to have a big chopper as well
You got a big willy?
Me?
Just averaging us
Dude damage to Phil Schofield
What can I get a cease and desist order
From Phil Schofield's lawyers I I really want to just message me back
Yeah
I go Kevin Hart
Why?
I don't know if I'm ever playing arenas
So
Do you think he's the best of the arenas?
Do you think he's the arena goat?
His life looks pretty good though
If you're doing genuinely whose life
do you want to
have a live
for one day
you're not just
going to pick a
circuit comic
to live your day
like in theory
you'd go bigger
wouldn't you go
Bill Bird
see
no
Lee Evans
would be mad
wouldn't he
he'd be fucking
sweating and all that
I would go smaller
I'd go like
you know
just to remind myself
where I've come from
he's gone in a weird mood uh i had to go joe rogan and just go on and be like okay last minute
change of guests we got tony carroll on and jamie be like i can't really find any information about
it i'd be like don't worry about it and so there'll be nine million people watching joe
rogan interview tony car going, tell me about...
What's your obsession with Philip Scophi?
Who is that?
And then it'll definitely get back to him.
Would you rather from Dan.
How are we?
Andrew, Donald, Karimba and Fuembe.
Question is, would you rather never eat bacon
ever again
the other one
or every time you do
purple aki comes over
and asks for a piece
and gives your bicep a squeeze
that one
bacon's overrated
bacon's not overrated
and you're a fucking pedophile
no it is
people like bacon
because everyone says it's great
just saying
no it's not true
it's the best thing in the world
no
it is
it depends what it's with.
I can't just have bacon on its own.
Bacon sandwich.
You have to have it with something.
It's got to be sausage or an egg, hasn't it?
You can't just be on a...
Bacon sandwich.
I like a bacon.
I like a bacon.
I'm not saying it's not nice,
but I'm saying people act like it's fucking...
There isn't anything better.
I like...
Nothing better.
What about lamb?
There's nothing that bacon doesn't improve.
What about lamb?
Bacon's better.
Bacon doesn't improve.
Nothing.
Cornflakes.
Cornflakes and bacon.
Oh, you've been fucking
teary-eyed, haven't you?
No, I haven't.
Bacon doesn't improve here.
What?
Vaseline.
Vaseline?
Yeah.
I'm talking about the food.
It's called...
Toothpaste.
Vaseline.
Vaseline.
Yeah.
Any other food?
There's no food that isn't
improved by bacon's presence.
Including, like, yoghurt.
Lemon drizzle cake.
Yeah?
Yeah.
It's a weird one to...
What would you go?
Bacon or purple ackee?
If anyone doesn't know,
this is a bit of a Scouse legend, isn't it?
Purple ackee.
Yeah.
He's a horrible man, like...
Yeah.
I tried to take a photo of him
onto Manchester Piccadilly train station and he caught me and come over
and threatened me
Is he in Liverpool?
Yeah, he allegedly caused
the death of a child as well
when he ran away from him
Everyone deserves a second chance
Godfrey not guilty, just saying
Everyone deserves a second chance
This podcast has taken some
fucking
with the
Ergo Muslims
whoop
throwing fruit
at nursery children
whoop
oh yeah
he did kill a child
though
I'll move on then
Karl
thanks for that
let me just delete that
everyone deserves
a second chance
so I'll probably
go with Purple Achey
and I'll probably
try and talk some sense
into him
and say leave the
fucking kids alone lad
you know what I mean
he's a sex offender yeah I'll probably say to talk some sense into him and say leave the fucking kids alone lad you know what I mean he's a sex offender
yeah
I'll probably say to him like
just stop fucking grabbing kids cocks
and that you know what I mean
did he actually
did he actually grab a kids cock
no he makes like men
like do press ups on the man's back
and he grabs him and like
yeah I think he gets it
can you just
there's two
talk to a non-scouser
I need to know
without all these weird urban myths.
Okay, I'll tell you the truth, Dan.
Who is Purple Hockey?
Purple Hockey is a guy who gets sexually aroused.
He lives in Liverpool.
He's known around Liverpool.
Everyone in Liverpool knows who Purple Hockey is.
Now, he gets sexually aroused off men's muscles, right, and touching them.
You know, people have weird fetishes.
You might have some yourself, Dan, I don't know.
I've got a few.
Yeah, yeah.
So his weird...
Like gang bangs.
His...
What?
His weird fetishes is men's muscles
and squeezing them and touching them
and, like, sweaty, you know, big, like, muscly men.
That's what it is.
But when you were little, you were threatened, like, oh, if you do that, Purple Hockey big muscly men. That's what it is. But when you were little you were threatened
like, oh if you do that Purple Hockey he'll come and get you.
I got told if you said Purple Hockey three times in the bathroom
he turns up in your shed. If you ever need
proof that Liverpool is its own
little country
there's no bogeyman, there's Purple Hockey.
He is, and he's real lovely.
Well he was peg-leg as well wasn't he in Colomendi when you
still go to Colomendi.
Fuck sake Tony.
We just talked about the Patreon.
So if you're not already a patron, you've missed out on this chat.
Go get that shit.
Lad, the legend was that peg-legged was going to get you, wasn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
I wrote peg-legs going to get you in one of the wardrobes and had to clean all the wardrobes
because I got caught by the teacher.
Yeah, that was scary that time.
You know, mate, when you're in Colomendi and you didn't like your dorm
or you meet some school
and someone goes,
fucking peg legs on his way
and you're like,
fuck that.
We went to the Louvre.
Fucking Paris.
Very different educational experience.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you're not that far away from us,
are you, Dan?
You know what I mean?
I thought you might have caught up
on some of our lingo.
Preston.
Yeah, it's not that far
no it's not
I just lived off
Liverpool Road
in Preston
do you think
someone from the outside
then or yourself
do you think
do you know when
people take the piss out of me
when I say pool
and everyone's like
oh
pool
I get
it's the
you can tell
we're
pool
school
school
do you think we're
different
because we know
we are different
mate come on.
You're old Lancashire.
Liverpool's old Lancashire.
But Liverpool is so different from where I grew up.
And I grew up driving on the old Liverpool road.
You're in Liverpool in 40 minutes, 35 minutes.
It could not be more different.
If people don't know the northwest of England,
Manchester, Liverpool are the main cities.
But I'm from a town that basically forms a triangle,
like, with Liverpool and Manchester and then Preston.
And that drive towards Manchester, yeah, of course,
it's like it's a different part of the northwest.
But you're basically going into the bigger version of you.
So Preston into Bolton, into Manchester.
And then you go the other way and it goes Preston into...
All right!
You basically go past some nannies in Southport
and then everything changes.
It's a big difference, I think.
What do you reckon that is, though?
Because Manchester people are similar to us,
but we're totally better, you know what I mean?
So... What's the difference difference we're nothing to do
with Manchester
Preston's nothing to do
with Manchester
no I'm saying
why do you think
that is
we're different though
like the big cities
but then again
Liverpool
do you think it's like
because of
generation thing
where
because people like
haven't got money
and stuff like that
do you think that's what it is
I think a big part of it
is that Liverpool
has got a strong
Irish heritage
it's very very scouse
like most people
in Liverpool are scouses
there's not many
outsiders who come
to live there
and not many people leave
Manchester's got a big
Irish population as well
but it's not the same
yeah but Manchester's
also more of a metropolis
isn't it?
there's more people
from other places
that live in Manchester
and have sort of
like Liverpool tends to be like 4th, be like fourth fifth sixth generation of living in liverpool
manchester's not necessarily like that the the weird thing is with manchester liverpool they
totally part of the same thing because without one the other didn't get rich in the industrial
revolution they needed each other one was the port and one was the fucking factory mills and everything wasn't it um yeah but i'm from like shitty preston where if you
when i was starting out in comedy when i gigged in liverpool for the first time liverpool loves
taking the piss out of you're fucking william and you do you feel it like you get there and like
liverpool just sees us like this slightly like i've come down the road and you've got big buildings.
There's like five floors of buildings and you've got a travel lodge.
That's how it feels as a Prestonian coming to Liverpool.
You can tell everyone's like, fucking knob.
I love it though, man.
I really fell out of love with Liverpool.
Has your opinion changed then since you've met?
Since Hot Water.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's changed my opinion with Liverpool. Has your opinion changed then, since you've met? Since Hot Water. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's changed my opinion of Liverpool.
Laura takes the piss out of me
because when we met,
I was ready to give up on Liverpool.
Yeah, yeah.
And I'm not talking as a city,
I'm talking,
because the only...
As a comedy place.
As a comedy place,
because my love of it
had been ground down gradually
by gigs that I didn't enjoy.
Rawhide was there it disappeared
into the ether after a few efforts and then baby blue was down at the albert dot this is when i met
you 10 years ago but it got worse and worse and worse and my experience of gigging in liverpool
was just it's the same we were just talking about another city that i don't particularly look
forward to gigging it it's because of the gig isn't it
it's because of who runs it
how it's run
and I was done
and the other day
she was taking the piss
out of me
because I've started saying
lad
around the house
because we
because we had John May on
and it's just got in my head
like lad
lad
so I've
and Laura goes around
calling people rats now
it's like
yeah so if you're not Scouse
or if you don't listen to this podcast
rat is an awful thing to say
it's a horrible way to say it
Laura's using it in conversation
with family
she's a rat
and you can tell people
but our whole household has become
more Scouse
and she's like it's funny innit
because when we met
you were nearly done
with Liverpool
and now
my whole life is like
I'm with these lids
all the time
I get so desensitised
I think to like
insults
like calling someone a cunt
is such a big thing
to some people
and I'd call me dad that
like no problem
do you know what I mean
but the thing with that is
it's a
it's a swear
it's a swear word, isn't it?
And it's like, so you're fighting all the same.
You're like, that's a bad word.
And anyone who goes, it's a bit of a see you next Tuesday,
you are a cunt.
But I had someone go, oh, my God.
A gig went, oh.
Some of your language was a bit, I mean,
you even used the war against terror.
Some words.
And that was their word for twat Yeah
Yeah
Of the war against
Yeah because I'd said twat
That was one of their bad words
So to say twat
They'd started saying the war against terror
But when like rat's not a swear word
It's just a slam innit
Yeah
And to some people that's like You're a rat You're a rat you it's just a slam innit yeah and to some people
that's like
you're a rat
you
I'd say that to Carl
if he like
had me last rolo
do you know what I mean
the best thing about
Liverpool oh yeah
is that we take words
that don't mean much
and turn them into words
that mean a lot
you know what I mean
yeah
like
fuck off
it's fucking phone
phone's blowing up
it's silent lad
is that Phil Schofield
I've loved you since I was
I met that
I've seen you
just said
hang on
but it's
any city with a strong
sort of
identity
it's the same with Newcastle
isn't it
Newcastle's got those
like if you're from
West London
and you're
and you've never been to Newcastle
it's been
done on purpose it's not by accident that it's just it's a tribal thing of like we're them
this is us you're them and we speak like this and it's the same for like this is so white person
being like but i remember seeing uh doc brown's bit about like like gangster talk in london yeah
and about he was like explaining what everything meant and then he's like the fact that i'm
explaining this on tv there'll be kids in south london watching it going fam like you're out of
it yeah there's new words now and it's basically like it's like a if you don't know the update
you're out of the gang so if you don't use these new, you're out of the gang. So if you don't use these new words,
these new turns of phrase,
that shows that you're not one of us.
So people go to Newcastle and go,
what the fuck are these people talking about?
And it's a way of them going,
nah, we're fucking different.
I think it's the same in Liverpool.
Like you have this,
you have this thing where you can tell even a scouser who'd been away for 20 years
came back and didn't know these updates.
Like you've been away
yeah yeah yeah you're different
good friend of ours on the podcast Alfie
Brown
really good mate of mine he's writing at the minute
a
sitcom of sorts
about
a guy it's sort of semi
autobiographical about himself
about a guy who really, really, really loves Liverpool
and wants to live in there and moves there
and ends up living with a scouser
who he just, like, he really wants to be made to.
And he sort of, he told you about this, hasn't he?
He sort of pegged me as to play that guy if it ever gets made.
And he just wants to be a scouser.
Because that's what Alfie is so...
Have you met Alfie?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Very, very well spoken,
as anyone who watched the Patreon episode that he was on knows.
Very well spoken.
He sounds like he's fallen out of an English literature exam, doesn't he?
But if he could, he would be a scouser.
If you could just wave a magic wand and make him a scouser,
and he spoke like one, and he lived there,
and he was part of...
He would absolutely do that
because his family are from liverpool and like he was taking me through
like uh some of the the the writing he's done for it and he's like so uh yeah so i've just got like
i'm making sure i'm getting a lot of the right link and there's even he's got what you're talking
about about like with those south london kids like you don't know the new iteration of the words.
Like he'd written down the word jarg
for like fake trainees.
Yeah, but it's blag now.
Are they fucking blag?
And I was like, you can't,
you wouldn't say jarg anymore.
So he needs an update.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because his granddad or his ma had gone,
oh, like in Liverpool,
they call fake stuff jarg.
But they haven't lived here for 15, 20 years.
And then like black culture, you don't go around going, bro, bro.
You're like, bruh.
If you don't, 10 years ago, you wouldn't know that update.
It's a territorial thing of going, this is ours.
You've got to know all of these things.
Otherwise, you're not part of our tribe.
Yeah, I think Liverpool's amazing and
I'm so glad that hot
water did what it did
otherwise this podcast
might not be where it
is because I would
have maybe stayed and
the stars align
the stars align
have you got to have a
word
shall we do a have a
word
have we got time
what are we on
oh we're doing all
right aren't we
have you got to
just staff my buttons.
It's time to have a word
with Adam and Dan.
Tell us all the problems.
Tony can't hear it.
This is gonna be the whole podcast.
Now it's just the final
10% sound, sound, sound, sound.
What are we doing? What is the question?
Who is it from? Let's tell it
to Tony.
So, this other word is from Ben.
Say, hi, Ange, Dorothy, Callum. Hello, Ben.
Callum and Norway.
Just wondering, who's Norway?
Hi, Ange, Dorothy, Callum and Norway.
Fucking hell.
Maybe like Finland.
Norway is Finn.
Finland, maybe. Finland, Norway. Finland, Norway. All right, Maybe like Finland. Norway is Finland. Finland, maybe?
Finland, Finland.
All right, okay.
We figured it out.
Just wondering if you can have a word
with my shithouse brother
who goes through my room
and steals money and other possessions
almost daily.
He's been told and told
and never stops.
I've installed...
This is bad.
I've installed a camera
to catch him doing it
and have a load of footage to do what
I please with. I want to get a gaff
closer to work and rent anyway but
my parents are saying
I should put up with it till I have a deposit saved.
Any advice on how
to deal with a little rat?
Cheers for the live shows
on Sunday the 20th. It was amazing
being in the room and I can't wait for the next one. That's 20th it was amazing being in the room
and I can't wait
for the next one
that's from Ben
put a lock on the door
get a lock
lock him out
we invented them
years ago didn't we
very simple solution
if he can't get
into the room
he cannot get the money
I wonder if there's a reason
there's not a lock
there must be a reason
is it just
it's just going to be like Pikey Palace
and his brother's going to smash the door down?
Just booted in anyway.
Five lads doing coke.
She said he's done it more than once, then, yeah?
So this isn't happening all the time.
Stealing off his brother.
Well, she needs to source.
Is it she, is it?
No, it's a guy called Ben, yeah.
He needs to fuck a man up a bit, doesn't he?
And have a little word with his brother, doesn't he?
I think if you were looking for sympathy, Ben,
you really emailed the wrong podcast
yeah you're not
going to get it mate
you're talking to
three scousers now
who are like
shut up
that's your victim
you need to beat him
till he cries
roll your fanny
back up
put it in your neck
Ben don't be a victim
mate
don't be a victim
next time he does it
stab him
I also think
wow
yeah
is that how you ended up
living with your grandad
yeah
look like I mean it's Is that how you ended up living with your grandad?
I mean it's a pretty simple one isn't it?
Have you ever had any trouble with Jack?
Robbing money off me?
No No but you
It's too far that isn't it?
Of course
He's had some
Jack's a fucking gobsmack
You've met Jack haven't you?
He's a fucking little dick
He's not stealing money off you though,
is he?
No.
There's a line.
There is a...
I haven't got a brother
but I'm like,
that's fucking dodgy.
If Jack'd done that to me
I'd beat the living shit
out of him.
I'd have actually
battled him.
I'd have had to fill you in.
I'd use a bat.
I'd use a bat.
You need to ask him,
like,
it spends how old
do you think they are?
How old do you think they are?
They're young, aren't they they they're living with a mam
the fact that he's
there must be a reason
there's not a lock
there must be a reason
there's not a lock
because he's installed
a camera
who goes
right I need some
CCTV footage
rather than a lock
so he can use it
as he pleases or something
sounds like he's going to clap his he pleases or something sounds like he's
going to clap
me on something
doesn't he
sounds like he's
going to wank
using it
are you alright
it's just a really
weird way of coming
out
yeah I think he
needs to go
hey stop
stop stealing me
money I know
you're doing it
just
batter him
do you need
a beating
Adam this is how this plays out Ben's decided he's going to take your advice just batter him he needs a beating Adam
this is how this plays out
Ben's decided he's going to take your advice
and he's just going to bang him
what do you do?
wait
come down in the morning
he's having his rice krispies
do you go
hey
you've seen the film Scum
right
or
do you just out of nowhere
snooker ball in a sock
wow
get up in the greenhouse
what if you've not got snooker balls what can you a sock wow get him in the greenhouse what if you've not got snooker
balls what can
you use
table tennis
balls
get him in the
greenhouse
table tennis
balls
eventually
this will hurt
you just buy
some snooker
balls don't you
or golf balls
or get him in the
greenhouse
or
wrap a chair
down his head
put a lock on the
door and say
lad stop
stop robbing me
money
you don't have to
go and buy his nuka balls
no
because then he hasn't learnt his lesson
yeah
but you have to reason
if he's never mentioned it to him before
he needs to be like
lad what are you doing here
if he does it again then
then back off
beat the shit out of him
and then go
lad that's because you robbed me money
if he's not mentioned it
he needs to say something
I think he has mentioned it
and has basically said
Ben you're a victim
and I'm robbing you money
and that's why he's doing this then buy his nuka balls if he's doing it and his brother has just basically said Ben you're a victim and I'm robbing your money and that's why
he's doing this
Dan buy snooker balls
if he's doing it
and you beat the shit
out of him and then
go that's because you
robbed me money and
then he'll go I
didn't and go lie to
me one more time I'm
going to lick you with
the snooker balls again
and then he'll go I
didn't rob your money
and then you show him
the video and then
twat him with the
snooker balls while
he's watching it
do you think you're
harder in your head
than you are in real
life because you do
talk the talk with the violence like,
I'd just fucking twat him, break his arm, snap it off.
I'd rub it in my ass, his broken off hand,
and then I'd run the finger up his own nose.
If you've got snooker balls in a shot, I'll do you.
Right, I've got the fucking answer.
Ben, listen, mate, add me on Instagram or Twitter.
That's how you get a following.
That's how he sells out a hot war on a Tuesday.

Okay.

Oh, pink.
I mean, red.
Whatever Philip Schofield's wear is.
Grey.
Oh, Ben, I can't believe your brother's nicking.
No, seriously, Ben, we're only joking.
He doesn't need filling in.
No, no, no, whoa.
Answer the question.
Ben, if you need anything or you want to reach out,
add me on Instagram or Twitter and we can talk about this.
And if you want me to have a word with your brother who's robbing you,
then that's fine with me. Or if you just want to have a word with your brother who's robbing you then that's fine with me

Can I have two
snooker balls,
please?
We actually sell
them in a set.

of them, I just

suspicion.
Never buy a

So, what are we going to do about my love
life, by the way?
Oh, it's trumped.
That's my love life trumped up.

and tell us what you're looking for in a lady.
So, ladies and gentlemen, our
esteemed guest on this week's episode
is obviously the fantastic, the handsome, the beautiful, the successful business mogul, Tony Carroll.
Business mogul, I like that.
And he is looking for love and he is going to tell you right now, right down this camera, what he's looking for in a woman and what he's got to offer you.
And if you want to date him, let him know below and we will pick the winner.
And one of you will get to smoke his pipe.
Fucking boffed.
I haven't.
I saw you do it.
Adam.
I haven't.
I saw and heard you do it.
I haven't.
You're a lying bastard.
Smell that.
Awful.
Oh, that is fucking rank.
Right, okay. Listen, try and get laid quickly because that is grotesque.
Hi, I'm Tony Carroll, age 28, from Liverpool.
I'm looking for a nice woman who will share my big character with.
Jesus Christ.
I love Philip Schofield, so I hope you do too.
Add me on Instagram or wherever.
If not, I don't care.
What age range are you looking for, Tony?
22, 23.
Are you going down?
To what?
Yeah.
To what?
Is that the oldest or the youngest?
That's the oldest.
No, that's the youngest.
Yeah, the youngest would probably be 22, 23. How old's your oldest? Probably, yeah, younger than me, probably be 22, 23.
How old's your oldest?
Probably,
I don't want to go,
like, I think the girls my age
are quite damaged, so.
Get that out of you.
Get them when they're young.
Get that out of your Tinder bio, son.
Get them when they're young
and mould them into
what you want them to be.
Yeah. Manipulate women into loving you want them to be. Yeah.
Manipulate women into loving you.
It's called groupies.
I'm joking.
Yeah, I'm looking for love.
So if you like what you see,
which obviously you do,
I'm big sexy.
And see you soon.
I'm off for a wank.
I need a poo.
I know, you do.
