Every day.

Oh, jeez.
Don't chat to me!

Shut up!
Disgusting!
Coming to you from the soon-to-be world-famous Havawad Studios.
Hidden away in the scenic hills of sunny Runcorn, England. These are the funniest leads in the podcast game.
Adam Rowe, Dan Nightingale and Sensei Carl
with full HD video episodes on YouTube.
It has to be.
Have a word. Are you sure you're ready?
I'm ready.
I was brand ready.
Born ready.
Fucking knackered me.
Oh yeah?
Got a puppy, haven't I?
Right.
Got a little puppy.
Little puppy bags.
I think you're talking to the wrong cunt here, mate.
You're talking to a parent
and you've never given me any sympathy about being tired.
And now you're here with your puppy chat going,
I feel very tired. Yeah, but a puppy's worse than a baby, isn't it? here with your puppy chat going, oh, Danny, I feel very tired.
Yeah, but a puppy's worse than a baby, innit?
I've got a puppy who woke me up once, scratching.
No, like, she was howling, like, at the moon,
like a fucking wolf.
Right.
Everyone warned me, beagles, a little cunts in the dead mouthy,
and I was like, mine won't be.
Fucking is.
Yeah.
This is where the Adam Rowe,
don't take our advice off no one,
fucking school of
school of hard knocks bullshit mine's gonna be so fucking hard yeah uh she's lovely little lola
yeah little lola i was gonna call her kobe but then i fell in love with a girl
and i needed a name and lola just come to me. A lemon Lola. Lovely name. Yeah. Cute fucking dog.
And my cute daughter needs a sit-down with that dog.
Okay.
It's like, I've been watching a lot of Sopranos recently.
When shit goes down, they have a sit-down.
My daughter is keen on the idea of touching your dog.
So...
She can meet her.
Oh, my God.
Social distance.
I'm not joking.
You can't socially distance
puppies and toddlers.
Oh, she's not really a toddler.
Yeah.
She's fucking nearly four.
She'll love it as well.
She's dead like...
Like, Carl come in
and select her
and then pick the dog up with me
and then come to mine,
help me as always,
as he always does,
help me tidy the house up,
get her ready for the dog,
cleaned out the cupboard
under the stairs.
Like a good wife does.
The little dog bedroom.
And then you just held hands in a little tear.
Look at what we've brought into the world for two and a half grand.
No, a lot cheaper.
Did you get a discount?
Yeah.
NUS?
Yeah.
Did you use your student discount?
Yeah.
What, did you get a Groupon?
You didn't get a Groupon, dog.
No, I walked in to the place did you get a Groupon? You didn't get a Groupon, dog.
No, I walked in to the place where you get the dogs.
Right.
Which we won't name.
Okay.
And they just went, fucking hell, it's Rowey Bags.
No, come on.
Yeah, going to give them fucking... Come on.
No, they went fucking Rowey Bags from the fucking nationwide, aren't they?
No.
They're giving them a fucking free dog.
Oh, so that's how they run their business.
Oh, that lad's been
on telly.
He's got telly money.
Give him a discount.
No, it was just
a cheaper dog.
I didn't get like
a Cavapoo.
I got a Beagle.
Yeah, you got one
on offer.
Well, they're little
cunts so that they
can't charge as much
for them.
He went in the
discount bin.
The one that was
howling like,
howl!
Should be sound.
40% off.
Oh, I love that one.
Howl!
Yeah, a lot cheaper and it's a good job really because, yeah, howl, howl. It should be sound. 40% off. Oh, I love that one. Howl, howl, howl.
Yeah, a lot cheaper and it's a good job really
because, yeah,
I couldn't afford it.
Right, you made a saving.
Yeah, made a saving.
She's got it on the credit card.
It's the most ridiculous.
I don't know anyone
who's bought a dog.
I had one mate
that bought a fancy car.
It was beautiful
and it was like a bell end.
Yeah.
But I don't know anyone
who's bought a dog.
I don't, like,
I'm not comfortable
with the fact that
they did it to be honest
with you
I'd rather rescue
but it's done now
and you know
she can't be going
anywhere
that was an amazing
moment where Adam
wrestled with his
morals like
I'm not comfortable
with it
I'd have rather
rescued
I mean I fucking
didn't
I turned up
well there wasn't
any to rescue
I know we've been
through this
you don't have to
apologise
you've fallen in love with the dog and I've seen the pics she picked me Well, there wasn't any to rescue. I know, we've been through this. You don't have to apologise.
No, but I feel like I do.
You've fallen in love with the dog.
She picked me. And I've seen the pics.
She picked me.
Do you know what I mean?
We were there.
I was looking at a King Charles Cavalier
and I was like, maybe I'll get that.
And then in the corner,
there was just a little beagle looking at me
and I went over and she was just biting me
and licking me and she was like,
I want to come in.
There was other dogs trying to get to me
and she was like, get out the way.
Fuck off.
Oh my God.
Hey, hey, hey. She's a psycho. Let's dad all right great now you made that connection that's what you need i
imagine yeah and then she she come home in the car in carl's arms and then uh yeah you too yeah
you too guys yeah and uh yeah I hope she's alright today
because obviously she's
a little bit worried about her
it's her first time away from her
I've left
you know I've cracked the window
as in
I've got a big car
hey
come on
but you do know
all bands aside
does it feel
is it nice
she's great
I'm saying all bands aside
that's such a bullshit caveat
because I'm not going to be like,
I'll be dead genuine now.
But do you feel,
is it?
She's lovely.
She's great.
And she fucking stinks
when she farts.
Like worse than me.
You know like
It's so much like
having a kid.
Yeah.
It really, really is.
But like harder
because they can't,
they find it more difficult
to tell you what they want
because it's not
the same species.
Yeah.
A kid can be Yeah, like babies can say,
I'm dead hungry.
You're right, it's just totally different.
Species?
Yeah.
It's not the same species.
Is that the right term?
Yeah, a dog and a human.
No, I know they're not the same thing.
I thought species was inside a type of animal,
like a species of spider.
No.
Well, you're talking to the ministry of idiots here,
so I don't know what you expect.
Like, actually, Carl,
let me break down species, breed, race.
Yeah.
Type.
I thought she was going to be a bit nervous,
but the second we got her home...
Oh, yeah, she loved it.
She was just fucking great.
She had a shirt on the carpet.
Yeah.
I haven't got a carpet,
but I've got a rug and a shirt on that.
It's, again, quite similar to...
Yeah, or harder.
Much more difficult.
Yeah.
I just, like, don't be expecting any...
I'd have to walk my daughter.
Can't walk her for a couple of weeks, actually.
She needs to get her fucking stabs.
Oh, she needs to get a COVID vaccination.
Yeah.
Wow, that's how expensive this dog is.
It's before my fucking mother-in-law in the line of vaccinations yeah well she needs to get vaccinated so she can
go for a little walk and what's what's the level of joking we can do about the dog you know because
we are pretty vile about each other's uh parents grandmas but i get this feeling that we're not
joking about the dog what are you gonna joke about fucking me dog? Someone needs to.
But is that really my role in this whole thing?
Like, let's track back through the 102 episodes.
It's never me, like, leaning into that shit.
But I just, I bet, I bet.
What sorts of jokes do you make?
I wouldn't do it.
I'm just saying.
What jokes do you want to make about me dog?
No, I see.
You're getting like, right.
No, I will be sound about it.
But let's just, there's some rules.
Yeah, your mum and your nan, fuck that
We make jokes about that
But no, fucking, she's cute, beautiful
No, I just want to know what sort of jokes you want to make
No, I'm not going to do any
You want to finger me, dog?
Is that what you think I meant?
Yeah
That's not the kind of jab she needs
Yeah No, I'm not, I'm not I just, you know That's not the kind of job she needs.
Yeah.
No, I'm not.
I'm not.
I just, you know, I'm very respectful of you as a new parent.
Yeah.
As both of you as new parents, you know, because Carl is a big responsibility.
Uncle Carl, yeah.
Uncle Carl. Trying to convince his ma to get one.
Yeah.
I have two little beagles.
Lola.
What are you going to call her?
Showgirl.
Lola.
Her name was Lola. And you going to call her? Showgirl Her name was Lola
And this is Showgirl
Are you going to get a two grand beagle just to do a bit?
I can't really afford it but
It's just such a good joke
No I want to call either Jeff
Or Bruce
Yeah Bruce is a good one
Bruce is a great name for a dog
After your favourite action hero?
Fiona Bruce.
Finn, have you got any pets?
Have you ever had pets?
Are you from a pet family?
It's a bit of a sensitive subject, Dan, but we'll do it.
The cat?
You know why?
He's just being fucked off, hasn't he, by his missus,
because she bought a cat.
Oh, sorry. Sorry, sorry a cat. Oh, sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
I forgot there was a...
It's okay.
My family also have a
cat that I'm allergic
to, so it's just...
Are you welcome
anywhere?
No, not really.
Jesus Christ, Finn.
Yeah, I went off to
uni and they straight
away bought a cat and
was like, don't come
back.
That's not your room
anymore, Finn.
She sleeps in my room when I'm not there. anymore, Finn. That's the cat's room.
She sleeps in my room when I'm not there.
Mate, can we talk about, my neighbours have got two dogs.
They are large, barky dogs.
We saw them out on a walk last week.
We went for a walk and just by chance,
Chester's not massive,
they were parking up
and Laura's face was like, oh God,
because they're so barky and mental at home.
And I could see laura think this
isn't going to be safe walking around the country park in chester and then they got out and they
were absolutely sound because they're away from their house they were sound but fuck me at home
they are the loudest stupidest barky dogs and they sleep in the bedroom next to my room so just in the middle of the
night for no fucking reason
is it a bark or a yap?
no it's like they are huge dogs
I just don't like a yap
it's so the both of them they set each other off
so it's not like a
it's literally
it's the level
of barking I'd expect from
if a dog if you could see a dog's workings,
like, I would reasonably allow that much barking.
If a guy came in with, like, an axe
and a fucking hockey mask,
that...
Like, definite murder is about to happen.
And it's just every night about 3.30, 4 in the morning.
Is it me being a dick to get annoyed about that?
A, why are they barking like dick to get annoyed about that? Well, A,
why are they barking like that?
What's going on?
And could you fucking move them,
move them over
to the other side of the house?
to have dogs and children?
Because you're like,
why are they barking like that?
Eventually,
when a child's older,
you can figure it out.
You'd move them though,
wouldn't you?
You'd move them to a room
that isn't adjoining
the house next door.
Oh, you're in a semi-detached,
aren't you?
Yeah.
Just go and get them
on that side of the fucking house.
It would depend really,
wouldn't it,
on how much your neighbours like you.
Well, it seems sound
as we're walking around the park,
like, oh,
this isn't such a coincidence,
isn't it nice?
But apparently,
no, fucking
every morning
4 a.m pissing me off yeah man what's going on at 4 a.m they're like every night just fucking do my
idea before so just like trying to ignore it yeah i'll give that a try that's what i do what i'm doing
when i'm asleep, I should just,
just before it wakes me up and I've got industrial fucking earplugs in,
I should think,
ah, Dan, just ignore this and stay asleep.
You fucking rat.
Oh, God.
What time does Lola start barking?
I've got something.
Do you know,
we've done 150 episodes of this shit and there's so many times I I got something. Do you know, we've done 150 episodes
of this shit
and there's so many times
I've said something
inappropriate to you
and it's like
water up and ducks back.
And when I said that then,
you looked at me like,
you're the biggest
fucking cunt
on the face of this earth.
Oh,
just ignore it then.
Things fucking with your sleep,
though.
Yeah,
I haven't had a good sleep.
I really haven't.
And that's going to be
a while innit
yes
it's like
how long
what's the time
scale on dogs
and just chilling
out and not being
balanced
I think it's like
three or four days
I hope so anyway
you reckon
you'll be sorted
by Tuesday
it's probably about
three or four months
getting
no it's not four months
it better not be four months
can I just say
tomorrow we record
our second in studio
lockdown lock in
socially distanced

it will be available

and last time we did it
it was just me
adam and carl it was the most fun i had in the second half of 2020 yeah uh which isn't beating
much is it because it was a bit of a dog shit yeah but uh i'm really a nervous because johnny
bongo's coming in and you know when like you're going on a stag do and then someone's got a mate
and they're like yeah yeah yeah, Nathan's a fucking psycho.
It's got me a little bit nervous
because I want to not be horrifically ill,
which I know is probably going to happen,
but I also know I'm the bellend who will be like,
all right then.
So I'm a little nervy,
but how is your hangover going to go with a puppy that,
oh, mate, that's made me like, ooh, for you.
Yeah.

Nigel Ung
Nigel Ung
Nigel Ung
Who does Uncle Roger
Uncle Roger
Hello niece and nephew It's Uncle Roger. Uncle Roger.
Hello, niece and nephew.
It's Uncle Roger.
Now, we can do that voice because it's copying a Malaysian guy doing that voice.
So it's fine, isn't it?
Yeah.
But Nigel Ong... It's also a really good mimic of it, actually.
I'm actually really good at it.
Yeah.
Can't be racist if you nail it.
What?
I mean, that's one of the rules.
I don't need a nephew, it's Uncle
Roger.
He did a video,
put it on the old fucking YouTube,
got three million followers
or whatever. He's just absolutely
smashing it. And it
had in it a little bit of
slagging off of China
yeah
had a guy on
that's on like
China's shit list
I think it's called
Michael Chen
who has talked about
the
Mickey
Muslims
and also about
Uyghur Muslims
Uyghur
Uyghur
Uyghur Muslims
Uyghur
Muslims Uyghur Muslims It's like Uyghur Muslims but with a J Uyghur. Uyghur. Uyghur Muslims. Uyghur. Yeah. Muslims.
Uyghur Muslims.
It's like Uyghur Muslims, but with a J.
Uyghur.
Muslims.
Uyghur Muslims.
Okay, I've got it.
Yeah.
I'm saying it.
Uyghur.
Muslims.
Yeah.
And China complained and got in, I don't know if they went via YouTube
or went straight to Nigel Ng's management,
but Nigel Ng has been on Weibo
to apologise for any offence caused.
Oh, Jesus.
Like, China is so fucking picky.
Like, oh, no no that's out of order
can't have comedians taking the piss out of China
and they've gotten his ear enough
and he's shit it enough
and China are fucking horrible enough
fuck China
yes Adam
yes
he's had no sleep
he's got a puppy
but he's still not bowing down to China
I love China mate
why do you like China?
shut up Carl
you fucking rat
I had Chinese last night
Mate
I literally just thought of us
Could you imagine if I get poisoned
By the Chinese government
Are we ever going on Weibo
And doing an apology
No we're fucking not
For calling them horrible cunts
What's Weibo?
Stop fucking killing the muzzies
And we won't have a go at you
It's
Simple
That was like
The way you worded that
It was like the EDL
And added like
Change of heart
Right
You fucking knobheads
Right
Immigrants
Are alright
The sound
Do you know what I mean
Fucking grow up
Yeah
Like
You know what I mean
Stop being nasty
They're just trying to go about the day
I would love to get to the amount of
Patreon subscribes it takes to apologise to a country.
I mean,
it's not a problem you've got at 10,000 subs.
How did, when you say China complained,
do you mean the Communist
Chinese Party?
Who do you, who's the other option?
Like the whole population?
I don't think he got 1.7 billion
emails.
Jesus Christ.
The whole of China turned into a car and went,
this is out of order.
I'm going to get on the internet.
If only I could fucking send an email out of this shit old country.
Yeah, the internet's bad in there, isn't it?
In China.
No.
No, but like a lot of it is.
It's monitored.
I said that when I went to Dubai.
There's two Chinese lads in the audience at the gig.
I was like, where are you from?
China.
And I went, have you just come to use the internet?
And they died laughing, and everyone else was like, nope.
Have you seen how they monitor it in North Korea?
What do you do?
If you're lucky enough to have a laptop, which is
quite rare, the laptop
randomly takes screenshots throughout
the month.
And at the end of the month, the police come and
it's a file that you can't access.
Oh my god!
Oh my god.
Why don't they just order laptops that don't do that?
What?
North Korean curries.
Yeah.
Argos.
You're going to North Korea in Argos.
Like, lad, I don't want one of them non-C1s that watches you.
Just give us a normal one.
Give us a Dell.
Come on.
Imagine sitting there with the police, though, and you've been watching us a normal one. Give us a death. Come on. Imagine sitting there
with the police though
and you've been watching porn
and they see the screenshots of it.
Oh, of course.
There'll be so many.
What, does it take
ten a day?
Ten pics a day or something
just to randomly take pics?
You don't know when it's taken it.
Oh.
And it goes into a file
and you can't access it.
Oh, what would yours be?
Mine would be
Gmail,
Facebook, Patreon, porn, Patreon, porn.
That's what happens when we get more subs out of a wank.
God, it's gone up by ten.
I don't know.
Horrific.
Yeah, be audible.
Yeah.
Do you know when I was in... I'm quite comfortable with my search history.
Good input.
Thank you for that.
Absolutely. Do you for that. Absolutely.
Do you want to lie down?
Do you want to have a nap?
Adam, are you there?
What the fuck?
Oh, I think it's fine.
Here's other normal statements from Adam Rowell.
Yeah.
I went to Bahrain,
and they are a bit fiddly about the internet over there, aren't they?
You can't look at port.
You can't just go on.
Are you all right with this juice?
You seem confused by
the top and the flavour.
Like, I've looked over
three times and you're like,
do you know what it is?
It's too fruity.
Do you know what it is?
It's spinny.
So, see the way
the label lines up?
Right.
If I close it
without the label lining up,
it's doing me a din.
Oh, that's fair enough.
So, like, when it's like that.
Oh, no, that doesn't look right.
You see?
Oh, yeah. I thought you were being a bellend,'s like that... Oh, no, that doesn't look right. You see? Oh, yeah.
I thought you were being a bellend,
but you're absolutely right.
Yeah.
That's the wrong way.
Oh, God.
The worst game show ever.
Yeah.
O-C-D!
Our next contestant is still washing her hands!
Yeah, but... Yeah? So, China... yeah but yeah um so china
if you got a bit of ocd is that what's happening there a little bit i think we've we've
diagnosed add enough and then we've had emails of going people yeah no adam's definitely got a bit of it but have you got oh oh cd a little
bit uh a little bit but like if you looked at my house you would never know you've not got the ocd
that helps keep everything clean and tidy no i just need labels to be like that and
i mean just tell you like a little bit of symmetry a little bit of order yeah like
but you're not
like
there's a specific order
my apps are in
on my phone screen
oh there you go
like when we were in here
I had to make sure
all these things
were perfectly lined up
with each other
like on our
for anyone on the audio
we're talking about
the studio backdrop
yeah sometimes we forget
how long
it's been a while
this shelf is exactly
the distance from that wall
as this is from that wall as this is
from that wall uh you know like the symmetry of the soundproofing but that's just good
i don't know that's just good visuals in it yeah it's not ocd people people use ocd incorrectly
i'm sure it's quite offensive if you've been diagnosed with obsessive compulsive
disorder you're a fucking weird and you're and you're oh now he's awake he's back he's back
he's fucking blueberry juice just really kicked in if you've got that and you can't leave the
house because you have to check the lock 40 times in a row yeah and then you've got to wash your
hands to the point where it's fucking hurting yeah i'm sure when people are like, oh God, I am a nightmare, me.
I have to have all the co-angers facing the right way.
Honestly, I don't know how I survive my OCD.
You're just being a pernickety cunt, aren't you?
I went to school with a lad who's got proper OCD.
Like, goes down like 30, 40 times throughout the night
to check the ovens off and stuff,
even though he hasn't used it for years.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is... An actual AD actual add you think it's
just like oh you can't concentrate on anything but actually we were reading up of it because
a friend of ours i think has got add and it's just the is it me no i think you do have a bit
yeah yeah but performative like i'm not as bad as you make me out to be i think you do have a bit. Yeah. Yeah. Performative, like I'm not as bad as you make me out to be.
I think you're also a bit bored of me.
I think there's an element of that.
I think we've talked to each other so much,
you're like, oh God, this cunt's talking,
which is sort of the point of the pod.
But it's like the inability to just,
this is where I don't think you've got ADD.
It's people with an inability to just do anything
because they get dwarfed by all the options
so you know like
you've got to tidy your house but you've also got to
clean up but then you've got to do that thing on the
email and then really you should
go and collect that parcel
and if people with ADD suffer to be
like, the way they suffer is like
oh well I can't
I don't know which one to sort of start.
Oh, I've got that.
I just go asleep.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
If I've got four things to do,
and they're all equally important,
none of them are getting done,
I'll just scroll on my phone.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've defo got whatever that is.
It's procrastination, though, isn't it, really?
But it's, procrastinating is when people just like,
chronic procrastination.
Oh, yeah, I will get to it, and I'll do that other thing.
But this is more like you're overawed by it.
You're like, you cannot get it going because you're like,
oh, but if I start that thing, I'm not going to be able to start that thing.
And then, oh, for fuck's sake.
And it's just like being bewildered by it.
Not just being like, oh, I can't be arsed.
Like, you're bewildered by all the things you need to do.
Like, I've seen that up close, and things you need to do. Like, I've seen
that up close and it's hard to watch.
Yeah, yeah. I've got that. Do you think
if I tell HMRC
that I've got that, then I just won't have to do me tax return
because it's a disablement?
Just draw a smiley face and crayons like
Disablement? Disability.
A disablement.
I think you might get
a discount on your tax return if you just use the word disablement
hello my name is Adam this is my tax return I earned some money but I have a disablement
here is a boat it's a picture of a boat on the sea
this is my dog
her name is Lola but you're not do you not get satisfied just getting those jobs done?
No.
No?
I do.
Once they're done.
But all of them have to be done before I have any satisfaction.
It's scary, isn't it?
Right, hang on.
I don't get any satisfaction from job one being done.
I honestly thought you were like,
I need them all to be done so I can't do one.
Yeah.
No, but that is it.
That's exactly it so like
let's say like make it menial right just for now so like i've got to do the dishes i've got to brush
the floor and i've got to clean the bathroom right so once all three are done i'll feel dead
satisfied but if i just do the dishes i've i feel no satisfaction that I've ticked one thing off.
So, but once that one thing is done,
does it not feel like I'm a third of the way there?
No.
So then all of a sudden, the task seems less daunting.
No, it's more pressure, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's like, because now I've started, I've got to carry on,
but now I need to go on my phone and check this,
and then I'll be on that for an hour,
and then I'm not getting back off the couch to brush the floor.
Why do I need to brush the floor? Who's coming round? It's just me and my dog just you and your dog and your bubble and my bubble yeah yeah I just I fucking love
someone emailed in uh and I'll I'll find out who it is after but someone emailed in and said
what things that you do that that other people would think are boring
do you actually quite enjoy what are the things in your life that you know are like menial it's
not something you'd stick in your tinder bio but you do get quite a lot of satisfaction from yeah
and that is that's when i'm absolutely at my absolute i feel like a dad when i'm like right
these are the jumps to do and i fucking write my little list yeah and i tick them off like a dad when I'm like right these are the jumps to do
and I fucking write my little list
and I tick them off like a little nonce
and then
what I do, this is stupid because I'm not
showing my workings to anyone
I write down one of the most easy ones
ever, like a simple one
to be like first tick done
stand up, don't shit yourself
tick tick yes
that's actually psychologically I've looked into this, I really have.
That's actually like a really, really, like for a lot of people, you included,
like people will tell you, yeah, put a to-do list together,
and at the top make things that you're just going to do anyway,
so that you can tick it off.
So like make a cup of coffee in the morning.
Oh, I've already done that.
Tick.
And because you've already got a tick on your list,
it makes you feel better.
I don't work like that.
Until everything is ticked,
I feel just as anxious as when nothing is ticked.
Right, but three ticks out of ten doesn't make... No.
There's no alleviation.
Nine ticks out of ten, no alleviation.
So how the fuck do you get ten ticks out of ten?
I don't.
I just don't do it.
I just wait until my house is messy enough,
and then I pay someone to come and clean it.
Jesus.
Talking about ADD, my fucking...
My phone.
It's because I've got...
Finn, do you want to dash off and pick up our esteemed guest,
who we will tell who it is in a bit?
Good lad!
Oh, he's a good lad, that Finn, isn't he?
Finny bags! Have you got the pass, yeah? Sweet. Oh, he's a good lad That Finn isn't he Finny bags Have you got the pass yeah
Sweet
Oh he's a good lad
Good lad
Don't like him no
No
He's a good job
He's a good lad
It's not working out is it
He's a horrible racist isn't he
How can he be racist
He's about 14 different nationalities
Yeah but he hates Spanish people
What Yeah Oh that's an unusual one isn't. Yeah, but he hates Spanish people.
What?
Yeah.
Oh, that's an unusual one, isn't it?
Yeah.
I can't stand Norwegians.
That's crazy.
Can you not?
No.
Do you know any?
Yeah, I should.
I'm a Nordic cunt.
I do.
It would be great if people were racist,
but towards really random countries.
Bulgarians.
Yeah.
What about town?
Is that Paddington?
Is Paddington Bulgarian?
Oh, that's Uncle Bulgaria.
What's Uncle Bulgaria?
Oh, as in the Paddington Bear?
Yeah.
No, is it Romania?
No, Paraguay?
Peru.
Peru.
Fucking hell.
We went round the map. I got close though
and it was a piece of South America.
He's from deepest, darkest Peru.
Peru, yeah.
How the fuck did you get Bulgaria?
Uncle Bulgaria. That's what I was getting mixed up. Per, yeah. How the fuck did you get Bulgaria? Uncle Bulgaria.
That's what I was getting mixed up.
Peruvian.
Is he a womble?
Earlier in our series,
did we come up with racial slayers for countries
that didn't already have them,
or have I made that up?
If you had a racial dream.
That's amazing.
It was Cameroon,
because he called them the Roonies.
Oh, yeah.
The Roonies.
I knew we'd done that.
You forgot about that, didn't you?
I did.
What about Peruvian?
Pervos.
Pervet.
Pervos.
Pervet.
Pervs.
Pervs.
Fucking Peruvs.
Peruvs.
Yeah.
What about Pakistanis?
Wow.
I like gag reflex then.
Just turn our mics down.
Adam can roll with this one.
Stans.
Yeah, that one.
Why? Because you're a big fan of them?
The game only works if you don't do a country
that is predominantly a different ethnicity to you.
Welsh?
Yeah.
And then also that's a bit like...
Fucking dragon shagging.
Dragon shaggers?
Not on board a ship.
That's offensive.
You're fucking dragon shagging.
It's like the flag, isn't it?
Dragon shagging cunts.
Yeah.
Bulgaria is like second world country, so you feel a little bit...
Bulgars? Yeah. No. What? Got connot world country, so you feel a little bit... Bulges?
Yeah.
No.
What?
Got connotations there, innit?
No, bulge.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What, like about dicks?
No.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Oh, I know what you...
Mate.
It's where my brain went.
Oh my God.
The bull heads works.
The bull heads.
Yeah, the bull heads.
Let's do Pakistan.
The fuck did we get there?
And if you go in, what are they talking about?
Don't find out.
Yugoslavia could be the Yugios.
Yeah, could be, but it's not a country anymore.
Yeah.
They're now.
You go fuck yourselves.
Czech Republic, isn't it?
Czech Republic.
Jesus Christ, it's hurting me.
What?
Do you think Czechoslovakia might have become the Czech Republic?
Well, what does Yugoslavia become?
Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia.
What can we do with Montenegro?
Macedonia, maybe?
Montes.
The four Montes.
Yeah, they've had a war.
I don't know if you clocked it.
They got really pissed off.
The Sprouts.
You fucking sprout.
Who?
Belgians.
Brussels, innit?
Kobe.
He's not had enough sleep to do a Kobe.
Lola?
Kobe?
Lola?
What about Icelandics?
Icepics.
Fucking icepops.
You're not even a good one! you're not even a calippo
you're the shitty one from the fucking
newsagent
from the Bulgarian shop
can I just say
fucking ice pops
are so good
it's an absolutely sweltering day
and I let it melt a little bit are you trying to do a hard left here Ice pops are so good. Like, it's an absolutely sweltering day.
And I let it melt a little bit.
Are you trying to do a hard left here?
No, no, I'm just... Let's invent racial slits.
But what's your favourite way to cool down in the summer?
Oh, a blueberry ice pop.
Brazilians.
Wow.
Brazilians.
Brazilians, the nuts.
Fucking nutters.
The nutters.
Yeah. That is such a They're nutters. Yeah.
That is such a hard copy.
Hey.
It's hard to hate Brazil, though, isn't it?
What's different about pubes compared to head hair?
You're talking about hard left.
What's different about...
It's been, like, bothering me for weeks now.
Right.
Because I can't quite put my hand on it.
Did you just link Brazilian to pubes
yeah
had you been meaning
to do that
erm
I was trying to
Derren Brown
one of you's into
getting me onto the show
hmm
he said nuts didn't he
that's where pubes go
yeah
but what is it
and the Brazilian is a
a Brazilian
yeah
yeah
like
what's different
what do you mean?
Like, why does this feel different to that?
Why does your beard...
That's not your pubes, is it, Adam Love?
It is.
Right.
Do they feel the same as your pubes?
It's your face pubes.
Yeah, they are pubes.
You don't get them.
They're pubic, aren't they?
Yeah.
Your face...
You don't get them until you go through puberty.
Right. Do you want me to Google it? Yeah Your face You don't get them Until you go through Puberty Right
Do you want me to Google it
I think
I think your pubic hair
Is in your
Is in your
Near your pubis
No
This is pubes as well
Is your beard
Pubic hair
Why does
Pubic hair
Feel
No
Never mind
You're getting too far
Into the question
Karl
Is facial hair pubic hair?
I'd say so, yeah.
It becomes puberty, isn't it?
I genuinely thought it was around your pubis.
Ah, ha, ha.
You're not definitely right.
It's thicker and more coarse because its origins is a buffer.
Oh, so it's to prevent friction during intercourse
that can cause skin abrasion.
So it's rougher to be smoother.
Okay.
What are you doing, Dan?
Just fucking talk amongst yourselves.
There's two of you.
I want to find out if facial hair is pubic hair.
When did I get my first pubes?
I had a little rat muzzy when I was like 13.
Oh, shit.
What? I'm on the dick muzzy when I was like 13. Oh, shit. What?
On the dick.
Sorry to break it to you,
but that beard on your face is technically pubic hair.
Yeah.
The follicles of beard hair are composed similar
to the hair on a man's groin and armpits,
according to Dr. Bobby Bucher,
founder of Greenwich Village Dermatology.
Bobby Bucher. Bobby Bucher. Bobby Bucher. Bobby Buker, founder of Greenwich Village Dermatology. Bobby Buker.
Have you...
Bobby Buker.
Bobby Buker.
Have you just trumped on purpose?
I did a celebration for it, yeah.
Right, okay.
We're wrapping this section up
because I'm sick of smelling his boffs.
You have got pubes on your face
and you're a smelly man.

let's crack on
with this nonsense
guess who's back
back again
the party's back
from a break
Carl
I've got a I've got some correspondence here
This is from Indie Clone
On Twitter
The gentleman who sent me Pokemon cards not too long ago
And he sent a gift for Mr. Rowe
Oh
It was addressed to you
It was addressed to me
And you knew what it was and got that excited
Because he spoke to me on Twitter the other day
And said what it is
So Adam hasn't seen
this Dan hasn't seen
this but let's show
them
okay
for anyone listening
I know
oh is it a birthday
thing
yeah well you'd
assume so
otherwise nice one
what have you got
what is
do you know what it
is
no
you've got no idea what this is honestly he literally doesn't know what it is? No. You've got no idea what this is?
Honestly, he literally doesn't know what it is.
It's a signed picture of Kevin Webster.
Oh!
Hey!
Oh, my God.
We just said we need something for here.
We need something for on the wall there.
That is fucking beautiful.
We'll put that up.
We absolutely will.
I can't believe that.
He really looks like my dad, you know.
Do you know what I mean?
Remember my dad?
He does look a bit like your dad.
Yeah.
And my dad looks like Andres Iniesta as well.
I've never seen any of them in the same room.
Right, okay.
Yeah.
It's a wonderful person. He doesn't look loads like Andres Iniesta. When he had short. Right, okay. Yeah. It's a wonderful...
It doesn't look loads
like Andres Iniesta.
When he had short hair,
he did.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He looks like Andres Iniesta
is like,
if Japan didn't do him
loads of good.
Do you know,
he is on about
£25 million a year
to play for...
Who does he play for?
Colby.
What does he play for?
Will he play for Colby?
After we get a fucking couple hundred more patrons, lad. You know what I mean? I don't know who he plays for. I what does he play for after we get a
fucking couple
hundred more
patrons lad
you know what I mean
I don't know who he
plays for
I was going to go
and watch him
if you don't know
football
Andres Iniesta
absolute Spanish
wizard
Barcelona
a shit ton of
trophies
a world cup
two European
championships
and then got to
the end of his
career
legs were going
a little bit
although that
had never been
his game
And then the Japanese
Were like
Why don't we pay you
More
Than we pay the rest
Of the squad
Yeah
Well have you seen
The thing
What they're doing in China
Right
So
Did you see all
European players
Went to China
To get the money
Yeah
Like Hulk and all them
European teams
Yeah
It's slowed down though
Now hasn't it
Because they brought in
A new thing
where you're only allowed
three non-Chinese
players in your entire
squad
yeah
so what a lot of
Brazilians have done
is change their
nationality
to Chinese
yeah
there's a player
there's a player
he's a black player
with white hair
looks dead Brazilian
what like
Abel Javier
sort of look
yeah
and his name is
Fernando
but he's changed
his nationality
to Chinese
and his name is now
Fei
F-E-I
Nando
so they've got
round the
so he can play
for Chinese
that's
fucking brutal
mad that
you never really
heard of corruption
in China
no
no
or in football
like South American and Chinese football is usually a bastion of fair play is it gonna be like that you never really heard of corruption in china no no or in football like south american
and chinese football is usually a bastion of is it gonna be like do you like the way we can call
russia's russian cunts do you know i mean that's okay in it because they're not
like why are you pressing my buttons right do you know by the way it's not it's not russians
yeah not have a problem with individual people.
And whenever I'm like, I know it's for the pod,
I don't go around fucking my village in Cheshire
being like, fucking China.
Like, I just think it's certain regimes
and how they treat their people, their foreign policy.
If you're watching going, oh, I know a Russian bloke
and he's dead nice.
I know.
I used to live above a Russian couple
called Helena and Dmitry and he's dead nice. I know. I'm not... I used to live with a Russian couple called Helena and Dimitri.
They were dead nice.
Yeah.
But...
Right.
Here's my question.
Right.
We can say fucking typical American cunts, Joe, because, like, they do a lot of shit wrong.
Yeah?
I mean, I don't.
You might.
Yeah, but you know what I mean?
Like, if I said that, you wouldn't, like, grimace.
You'd be like...
Do you think...
Right, okay. What do you mean? Do you know what I mean? Like, if I said that, you wouldn't, like, grimace. You'd be like, do you think... Right, okay, what do you mean?
Do you know what I mean?
Right.
There's some countries where you can't...
I quite like Americans.
What do you mean?
Do you mean when...
You can't preface horrible cunts with that country's name.
Yeah.
Well, it's back to the fake racial slur thing.
If they're predominantly a different ethnicity to you,
it stops being like, ah, it becomes racial, doesn't it?
At what point can we call China Chinese cunts?
I don't think you can.
Ever?
Even if they just keep killing people and that?
Right.
But I think you've got to make the distinction between the whole of the country,
the individual people, people of Chinese heritage,
and that horrible fucking regime.
Right. They're cunts. Yeah, okay.
So, like... But you do sound
a bit EDL if you're like, I tell you who I
hate. Chinese cunts.
Yeah, that sounds... I'm just
wondering, like, back in the day,
back in the day, when Hitler
was about doing his thing.
About, about.
Hello, I'm gonna
do a little bit of Nazi
history, you know. I'll tell you what
about Adolf. He was a fucking
mutton.
Himmler,
he was from fucking Hartlepool.
What do you reckon, like, Chinese people were like fucking German
cunts? Because, like,
compared to China,
Germans are a minority. So do you reckon that was racist
um i think if you apply our sensibilities about social politics to other less developed countries
you'd be slightly upset because i think westernized values we're still working it out aren't we
with what's racist what's offensive what's bigotry in this country in america and whatever
like if you go to somewhere like china i just think what they perceive as i don't even know
if they would be aware of racism they'll just be like apparently uh i've had friends who've been to sort of
Japan
China
Korea
and on the
like on the tram
or on the train
and like my mate Sean
he's about 6'1
was just in Korea
and like people
were coming up to me
going
Bradzilla
they were like
Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt
but like
like
and then just like coming up not asking to be like
yeah the amount of pictures we got with people it was ridiculous which
because wherever he was i mean i'm i'm sure it doesn't happen in seoul or one of the
like bigger cities but if you're out in the sticks and that they don't see a lot of westernized six
foot one guys they're like like noticeably taller than the average out there they're like you look like
bragg pitt there's not nothing going oh i really shouldn't you know because he's a minority in my
country probably shouldn't uh sort of racially stereotype him as looking just like brad pitt
and because sean's from preston and has never been like Suffered racism He's like yeah yeah
They think I look like Brad Pitt
But to those Koreans
No one's ever gone
Whoa whoa whoa
Dude
Kim
You can't say that to a white person
That's really offensive
Do you know what I mean?
Like I think
You can't sort of set our
Put our set of rules
I don't think you understand
What I mean though
Alright okay
I don't want to call
Someone on a train
In fucking Birmingham A Chinese cunt want to call someone on a train in fucking Birmingham
a Chinese cunt
don't call
anybody on a train
a their
nationality cunt
right
I know you're short asleep
but you definitely
do need to explain this
because I feel like
I'm not getting
what you mean
you know like
when you say
those American cunts
yeah
don't know what you mean
right okay
so here's the thing
right
hi Jilly B
ready
listen
no right
you ready
right so people in another country would generalise Right, okay, so, here's the thing, right. Hi, Jilly B. Ready? Listen, no, right, you ready?
Yeah. Right, so people in another country would generalise about us, yeah?
Because of Britain's colonial past, yeah?
So they would call you a British cunt.
You're just projecting, I don't know.
I think what Dan's saying about minority works,
because if you say African-American cunt,
it's got much different connotations to American cunt, hasn't it?
Yeah.
So I think it's the connotation of what race and nationality are actually saying.
I don't know why that's relevant.
Well, because you're generalising.
It's a general...
And if you go, oh, those Chinese cunts, Well, because you're generalising. Uh-huh. It's a general... You just...
And if you go,
oh, those Chinese cunts.
Yeah.
Like, there was a worry
that it might be perceived as racist.
Yeah.
You're saying that...
But if they are Chinese
and they are cunts,
because I'm only talking
about the cunty ones,
I'm sure most of them are sound.
Yeah.
Right.
But the ones running the country,
they were killing everyone and that.
And having a go at Nigel and me mate.
Right.
Like, can't we just call them that?
You can do whatever you want.
I think you can run with this baton if you want.
But I'd like you to do it on a different podcast.
So Adam's got a new project in the pipeline.
It's called Those Cunts.
And it's where Adam
gets a globe out, sticks his
finger on a country and goes,
Is it alright to say
Pakistani?
No, it's not. And that's how you get
an email on YouTube.
This is China.
Have we got any correspondence? Yeah, we have.
This is a would- rather from Carrick.
Carrick Michael?
It doesn't give his
first name, maybe that
is his first name, but
Carrick.
You don't really hate
Americans, do you?
No.
Right.
But some people do.
And they would have
no qualms about calling
them American cunts.
Do you think it's more
about that person than
it is about the country?
Like, if you're the
kind of person who
just goes, those fucking Chinese cunts, I'm sure you could probably it is about the country. Like, if you're the kind of person who just goes, those fucking Chinese cunts,
I'm sure you could probably say it
about every country.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But, well, no, not like Sweden.
What have they done?
Those Swedish cunts.
Yeah.
Coming over here,
building the furniture factories,
selling dime bars.
I'm not bothered about Chinese people being here.
The ones here are sound.
It's the ones running that country
and fucking offing people.
Offing the Uyghurs.
Yeah.
This is from Kerry.
I'm with you on that one.
I don't know what went on there.
You brought that back up!
What?
You brought it back up and then you got all fucking hissy.
Kerry.
Alright, Carlito.
I literally don't know what happened.
Alright, Carlito.
Not so silent, Bob.
Deviant Dan and Finland.
I have an idea for Would You Rather.
Would you rather be a radio host, like mid to top tier,
like Radio 1, or a chat show host on TV?
Chat show?
Yeah, but not a good one.
Because then, obviously, it's not equal, is it?
So we've got to give it a bit of a caveat and say...
Is it Graham Norton or Nick and I'm sure?
Is that what we've been asked?
I think it's a good radio show or a low-level TV.
Yeah, what's a low-level?
It doesn't matter.
It's going to be Eamon Holmes or Nick and I'm sure.
I don't want to be Eamon Holmes.
That's not a chat show either.
Sort of is.
No, it isn't.
It's a fucking news show.
Yeah. sort of is no it isn't it's a fucking news show yeah I
if it's gonna be dog shit
I want less people to know
it's dog shit
but if it's gonna be great
you wanna be on TV
don't you
because TV's gonna help
project
like how many more people
are gonna
if you host something
as big and as prestigious
as Graham Norton
and we've given it
like a lot of credit recently.
It is pretty fucking good. I don't think it's
cool for comedians like you and me
to say Graham Norton's quite a good
chat show. That's fantastic.
The best on the telly. Well, Sloss did it, didn't he?
This week? Or last week?
Sloss is on this week's Graham Norton show
after being on the Hathaway couch. There you go, guys.
Top quality guests here. You know I'm a big
supporter of your career.
When you get on Graham Norton,
don't do that Chinese cunts thing.
I don't think he'll bite.
Graham, can I ask you a question?
I at no point, by the way...
Hey, Benicio Del Toro, sit down, lad.
Sit down.
Shut up, Emma Thompson.
I've got a question.
When can you say...
Oh, Chinese cunt
Hey Nanny McPhee
Pipe the foot down
Listen
At no point did I say
I want to say that
I'm asking
When it's going to be accepted
He's being a spokesperson
What do they have to do
For it to not be racist anymore
Do you know what I mean
Because like
It's fine.
Can I say Nazi cunts?
Yeah.
Why?
Why can you say Nazi cunts?
Yeah.
Because...
Do you reckon back then
they said German cunts as well?
What, when we were at war with them?
Yeah.
I'm sure a few people did, yeah.
Right.
Do you reckon people were like,
don't say that, that's racist. Do you reckon if the Nazis were about now... But 70, 80 years ago... do you reckon people were like don't say that that's racist
do you reckon if the Nazis
were about now
maybe
but 70, 80 years ago
do you reckon if the Nazis
were about now
right
in Germany
if that was happening now
right
if that started now
but that's the issue isn't it
because some people
equate what's happening
in China to the Nazis
that's exactly my point
so what you're asking is
what do they have to do
for us to go
fucking
yeah
little gob shit
mate I've said it on this podcast.
They're horrible cunts.
All of them.
Another would you rather.
Did he literally take me round the houses
to get me to be the one that said it?
Listen, try and fucking email us.
Uncle Roger might be making an apology.
I'm fucking not. Grandad Dave is making an apology. I'm fucking not.
Grandad Dave is sticking with it.
This is from Meg.
I would love to get poisoned by the Chinese government.
What?
Go on.
Are you saying they'd do that?
Oh, yeah.
Would you rather every time you have a shit...
The cunts.
You have to Facebook live the experience.
So every time you have a shit, you have to fucking give them the whole shebang. So every time you have a shit,
you have to fucking give them the whole shebang.
Or every time you have a wank,
you have to Instagram the aftermath.
What, the spaff?
You have to take pictures of yourself
and how you're feeling.
I'd rather do the poo.
Would you?
Come times private.
Just a little insight.
I went into the work toilet here
as Adam was leaving after the Patreon episode.
And I just went in for a wee,
which made it absolutely more painful.
I am sure I went in the cubicle that you had been in.
There was a guy at the urinal,
and I was like, there's six cubicles.
And not just because of COVID,
just because I don't want to be like,
oh, there's a guy right there with his dick out.
You've got a little willy, haven't you?
And you don't want to see it.
It's not, you know,
it's not making the dick equivalent of Crufts, mate.
It's never going to get best in breed.
I might get COVID dick.
You know, I've got to watch out.
And so I went in a cubicle and I was like,
ha, ha.
And I remember Adam had just been in there.
It was so bad that I had to ring Carl
as he was in the passenger seat of Adam's car
to check which cubicle,
because I was like,
oh, there's only so much a mask can do.
Have you heard of people getting COVID, Dick?
What?
Go on.
What are you laughing at?
Go on.
People who've had COVID,
you know, like long COVID,
because there's like long temp... Mine would be short COVID. Go on. People who've had COVID, you know, like long COVID. Because there's like long temp...
Mine would be short COVID.
Go on.
Some people are reporting their dick looks like a turkey twizzler.
Are they?
This dog's not doing him any good.
Can we do a...
Can we do a...
Have a word?
Yeah, I've got one here.
Because we've got tons and I feel like...
I feel like I...
Why are we just brushing past Turkey Twizzler Day?
You what?
Why are we just brushing past all these poor people with Turkey Twizzler Day?
So, has this been reported, the old Turkey Twizzler Day?
It was on BBC One last night.
Was it on BBC One last night?
I was watching the One Show.
Yeah?
And they led with Turkey Twizzler Dicks.
Claire Bolden. Not Claire Bolden.
Claire Bolden.
What's her name? Claire Bolden. She hosts Bolden. Claire Bolden. What's her name?
Claire Bolden.
She hosts the one show.
Yeah.
On a horse.
It's Claire, isn't it?
How little sleep have you had?
Claire Bolden was there.
Fernando Torres was the guest presenter.
I had a really weird dream last night.
Do you want to hear about my dream?
Go on.
I took my dog back, right, with a friend of mine.
And I was like, this is my friend.
And then my mum turned up.
She was like, you don't need to be getting a dog.
And then I had that dream like four times throughout the night.
And I thought, weird, why was my mum at the dog place?
You're asking me to explain your dream?
I don't know.
Do you dream about your mum often?
No.
Do you not? Do you? about your mum often? No. Do you not?
Do you?
Sometimes it pops up.
Yeah.
It pops, yeah.
It's a weirdly sobering little bit of the podcast,
but your subconscious does mess with you like that.
I really, like, I love that dream state where you're like,
what the fuck was that about?
Like, those random things.
And I used to do a bit about it never worked really well but it's almost like your subconscious is just the most
random fa cup draw of what your dream's going to be about it's like okay this dream's going to be
about this is going to be an exciting one it's going to be tobogganing in oh oh let's have a
look singapore and you can, and there's aliens there,
and this is your ex-girlfriend, Nikki.
And it's hot.
Go.
Yeah.
Do you talk in your sleep?
So Laura has several times told me that it's part of the reason
we sleep in separate rooms is because she snores like a fucking walrus,
and I laugh. in separate rooms is because she snores like a fucking walrus and i i laugh i she's like she's like it's terrifying like i laugh in my sleep as well in my sleep just go
no and that's that's freaking it yeah the the worst one ever was when i was with my ex-girlfriend
we fucking talked about this on one of the very first podcasts.
This is when I was seeing a girl called Vicky,
who at the time was the love of my life,
but we were so, it was so combustible, that relationship,
and she was better off without me.
I dream about her occasionally.
And you're like, oh, come on.
We've been married five years.
We've got a kid.
And then she just pops up like, remember me?
Are you ever worried that you're going to say her name in your sleep?
And then Laura's going to be like, who's Vicky?
Well, that's the great thing about sleeping in the spare room
and having two big fucking R-Tard dogs barking through the night.
God, those dogs were like, when they start barking, yeah,
do they say, Vicky, Vicky?
Yeah. I talk like mad in my sleep. just like, you cement, when they start barking, yeah, do they say, Ricky, Ricky, yeah.
I talk like mad in my sleep,
and like,
when I used to live with my dad,
he said,
so,
me and our Jack used to sleep with our doors open,
and Jack talks in his sleep as well,
and my dad said,
it was like we're having a nonsense conversation,
because I would leave a pause,
and then Jack would fill that pause,
with his sleep talk,
and then he'd stop,
and then I'd start again.
Oh my God. From other rooms. That's literally like, you know, in Step Brothers, and then Jack would fill that pause with his sleep talk and then he'd stop and the night starts again.
Oh, my God.
From other rooms.
That's literally like in Step Brothers when they're sleepwalking together.
That film is so stupid, but it works so well.
Vicky clocked me doing a voice.
Like, in the night I was, like, restless and it woke her up and then i went boys
oh dear boys and she was mental so she was like mental enough that that was like she wouldn't
she it was one of those weird relationships where i look back and i'm like oh god i hope she's found
happiness but it wasn't going to be with me she woke up right brilliant you came like instead of being like
ah that's fucking funny isn't it you went boys i don't know what happened i don't know if i was
dreaming about i can't remember but out loud in my sleep went boys and she was like oh that means
he loves car so she genuine she was freaked out by it, and it wasn't funny.
Anyone else would have been like, that's fucking funny, isn't it?
Going, what?
But yeah, you're not in control of it, are you?
I wake people up sometimes.
Like, I'm sort of not sleepwalking, but sleep talking and acting out.
And I was in bed with someone recently.
It wasn't Carl.
And I woke them up to try and...
Dirty bubble.
Go on.
Like, QVC sell them a cardboard box.
No.
I swear, don't press that.
This is all true.
This is swear down.
Yeah, swear down on Martin Luther King, right?
Swear.
I was like, what?
And I was like, it's a cardboard box.
Well, it's amazing.
It's loads of fun.
Do you want one?
We've only got nine left in stock.
I don't remember this.
I was just told about it the next morning.
And she went, I don't know any of this.
Apparently she went, will you shut the fuck up?
I don't want a cardboard box.
And I was like, it's really fun.
It's amazing.
It's that big.
You can get inside and everything.
There's room for everyone.
And then, have you seen the clip of the X Factor?
When the daughter's really shit and then the mum comes in to have a go at Simon Cowell.
And she goes, I think you've been very, very ash.
You seen that clip?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I did that.
Because she told me to shut the fuck up.
And I went, you've been very, very ash.
Oh, wow.
And then the next day she was like, do you remember trying to sell me remember any of that not a second of it she thought i was
awake right because i went you were just being a dick because i went no she thought i'd woke up
when i went you've been very very harsh but i hadn't all fast asleep god let us know if you've
ever slept walked or done any sleep talking that you know there's an app there's an app
you can you can download yeah and it just sits there dormant and then it hears noises and it
records it and it basically bunches it all into one file and you can play it in the night i just
play it at the end of the night i don't want to listen to eight hours worth of farts don't do i
well it's a very nice box and i'll shat in it my cousin Katie who listens
to almost every episode
of this
so she might well hear this
hi Katie
she'll be able to verify this
she used to sleepwalk
really badly
when she was
like
a young teenager
and she once
please
please verify this
because it sounds like bullshit
woke up
made a banana sandwich
and knocked on her
next door name
it was at 4 o'clock
in the morning
handed it to them
and then went back to bed
wow
a banana sandwich
that's quite
high level sleepwalking
it was dead nice
as well innit
yeah
4 o'clock in the morning
sorry to wake you
here's a buddy
see you tomorrow
better than sleepwalking
a Molotov cocktail
through the fucking
you know at least it's
yeah
banana I mean it's inconvenient Yeah, it's just nice.
I mean, it's inconvenient being woken up, but...
Potassium?
I wonder what legally you'd be responsible for at that point
if you sleptwalked and, like, committed a crime.
That's what they say about, um...
Is it Kennedy?
He doesn't remember doing it.
Like, they put him into this state.
There's a Derren Brown thing about it, isn't there?
Is it not Kennedy?
Who's, uh...
Is it Jack Ruby
who shot
who did he shoot
I haven't got a fucking clue Carl
again
history for the retarded
is it Jack Ruby
when you've got a
a foreground computer in front of you
lads
he's literally had his fingers over the keyboard
lads
who did Jack Ruby shoot
erm
no Lee
Lee Harvey Oswald
Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK
yeah but Jack Ruby shot him yeah oh he shot Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK yeah but Jack Ruby
shot him
yeah
oh he shot
Lee Harvey Oswald
yeah
and apparently he's like
oh I do not remember
that happening
like not even
like I don't even know
who that person is
well Lee Harvey Oswald
when he shot JFK
maybe I'm getting
this mixed up
maybe this is
Lee Harvey Oswald
shot JFK
allegedly
and then was he's JFK allegedly and then was
he's not going to sue
and then was arrested
and then while they were dragging him into a van
they said why did you shoot the president
and he said I haven't been charged with that
he didn't think he'd shot the president
I know what it was
it was his brother Robert
F Kennedy
someone called See a Hand See a Hand shot him Bobby Kennedy You have It was his brother Robert F. Kennedy Yeah Someone called
See a hand
See a hand shot him
Yeah
Bobby Kennedy
And he was like
I genuinely
Like
It was like
There's videos of him doing it
Because he pops out of the car
And shoots him
He's like
I do not remember that
Like I was in some kind of state
Lad I don't even remember doing it
And I made him a banana sandwich
Do you
Do you think
There's any conspiracy around JFK
Or do you just think
Lee Harvey Oswald was mental
No I think
I think there could be.
I haven't researched it.
I know it's a famous conspiracy.
But just recently, because I can't be arsed arguing,
I'm into conspiracies.
And I think the Chinese, you know, probably did it.
I think China did it.
It really gets us back up that you don't like any conspiracy.
I know, I think...
Seriously, though, JFK was dead sound. A bit like like any conspiracy. I know, I think... Seriously, though.
JFK was dead sound.
Bit like Corbyn, you know what I mean?
Like, was trying to sort of fuck with the establishment a bit
and was like, no, you should all be in a bit cunty.
I'm going to sort some shit out.
Dead nice, everyone liked him, you know?
Type of lad you take home to your marsh,
he's like, he's all right, him.
You know?
Yeah.
Like me.
Yeah.
Right?
Who could dislike you?
And just like like you know conveniently he got assassinated why that is so lacking in the full story any information it was a good historical
facts that i cannot be arsed answering it but yeah what about the magic bullet yeah the zigzag
yeah the single bullet theory Chinese cunts yeah
there was more than one
bullet fired
yeah
it wasn't just him
it was another grassy gnoll
probably
best going into
a conspiracy podcast
and finding out more
about it
no
he was dead sound
and someone shot him
what's that about
conspiracy
yeah
yeah
yeah I think it's quite
a famous conspiracy
and it's not
never been proved
yeah
never been
yeah
if we could have a moratorium Yeah, I think it's quite a famous conspiracy, isn't it? It's never been proved. Yeah. Never been, yeah.
If we could have a moratorium on conspiracies for one year,
I'd be fucking ecstatic.
What's a moratorium?
I don't, just a break.
No, I'm not going a year without talking about this.
Oh, I would fucking love it.
How did we get from sleepwalking,
sending you stories of sleepwalking, and when you've slept,
and this fucking bell in like,
do you remember Jack Ruby?
No.
Patton Oswalt?
No.
Mark Kennedy, left winger for wolves.
He shot someone,
and then I'm like,
no, you don't know it wasn't Sue.
Prove it.
He was dead sound,
there's so much time.
No, but he was.
Like, everyone was...
Like, he was popular.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, he had no enemies whatsoever.
It's mad that you don't need the establishment.
Oh, he had no enemies.
It's mad that you hate China and Russia,
but don't believe in conspiracies.
I don't not believe in conspiracies,
but I just...
I've never had a conversation with someone
about conspiracies that didn't make me feel
that they were thicker at the end of the conversation
than they were at the start.
I'm like...
I just think you need to open your mind a bit.
I will.
I will.
As long as you keep your arse closed, I will open.
What about 5G?
Yeah, 5G.
Yeah.
China.
Genuine question, no.
I know you hate talking about this stuff but
sleepwalking if you've ever done any sleepwalking
have a word pod at gmail.com
is there any conspiracy that you've heard about
that you actually do subscribe to
is there any way you've been like
is there any way you think
that's probably
do you know what I mean
because like JFK is a big one.
I think most people,
even when they're like,
I'm not into conspiracies,
they'll buy into that one.
And obviously 9-11.
Yeah.
But it's because it's never been proved.
And it's just conjecture and all this stuff.
It's fascinating.
I'll give it...
But we haven't even proved gravity.
Do you want to know what sums this podcast up?
I've got two tabs open here.
One of them is, who shot JFK?
And the other one is, why does pubic hair feel different?
I'd rather talk about face pubes.
For that whole next 12 months.
5G shot JFK.
And, weird, right,
there's an airport called JFK.
And John Lennon, and he was shot.
And John Lennon was shot.
And JFK was shot.
Coincidence.
John Lennon was shot by someone who falls. He was John Lennon, didn't he? John Lennon was shot by someone
who thought
he was John Lennon
didn't he
do you know about that
and he was sleepwalking
do you know about that
boys
do you know about that though
no
the fella who shot
John Lennon
was he Chinese
no
Russian
no the fella who shot
John Lennon
thought he was
John Lennon
and John Lennon
had stolen his identity
that makes me want to use Instagram less he was John Lennon and John Lennon had stolen his identity.
That makes me want to use Instagram less.
Yeah.
He was convinced
that like John Lennon
was a John Lennon impersonator
and would
just fool the world
and he was like
but I'm fucking John Lennon.
So he shot it.
Yeah.
Oh my god.
This is not bullshit.
In his head it weighed up.
That's my identity.
And do you know Paul McCartney died in a car crash and was replaced with a look like?
Mark Chapman.
No, that's who shot John Lennon and replaced Paul McCartney.
Do you actually know about that one?
That's why he's got no shoes on an Abbey Road.
Oh!
And they've left...
It hurts me. They've left clues...bey Road Oh And they've left It hurts me
They've left clues
Stop tapping me
They've left clues
But
Swear to God
Yeah
Oh God
Have you ever heard
Hit me baby one more time
Backwards
This is how bad this is
I wish you were doing
A Kevin Webster impression
Right now
Hey listen
Paul McCartney's dead
Have you ever heard
Hit me baby one more time
Backwards
Genuinely Yeah Right Get on this Right So Paul McCartney's dead. Have you ever heard hit me one more time backwards?
Genuinely?
Yeah, right.
Get on this.
Right.
So, do you know when you type something
into Google
but it doesn't want you
to search it
so it doesn't give you
a suggestion?
Do you know what I mean?
Like, Paul.
Do you know what I mean?
Paul, yeah.
Right.
I've just typed in
Paul McCartney, D-E-A
and there was no suggestion
because they don't want you to know that he's dead.
You know what I mean?
Paul is dead is an urban legend and conspiracy theory,
a legend that English musician Paul McCartney of the Beatles
died on the 9th of November, 1966,
and was secretly replaced by a lookalike.
The rumor began circulating in 1967,
but grew in popularity after being reported
on American college campuses in late 1969.
College, clever people.
Right. So, college,. College. Clever people. Right.
So, college.
Clever people.
Just ask him.
So, am I actually going to answer this?
Yeah.
No.
You don't think it's real?
So there was a young musician in Liverpool.
Yeah.
Who wrote songs, performed them,
which were a huge success, pop-out.
By 1966, they're the biggest band in the world.
Right, look, Carl, I'm going to send you this.
He was killed or he died?
He died in a car crash.
Oh, he died in a car crash.
No one reported it.
Nope.
Because they didn't want the world to be sad.
Oh, okay.
That's how news works, isn't it?
Right, yeah.
Get on this.
I've sent you this picture. I want you to slide it into this episode, please, yeah. Get on this. I've sent you this picture.
I want you to slide it into this episode, please, if you don't mind.
I need to show Dan this.
Have a look.
Ooh, his face shape.
See?
Different shape on his face.
Different chin.
Different nose.
I could show you a picture of me from four years ago,
and you'd be like,
that skinny guy's definitely not that big of a round fucker.
That's not the same.
They're about the same weight there, though, aren't they?
Look, his hair's different.
That is a slightly older man.
That is a...
Are you mad?
No.
Okay.
Look, look at the shit.
Look, he's got a proper, like, sticky-out chin,
and he hasn't there.
Do you know what I mean?
See?
So the replacement...
Yeah.
...is also a very high level
Singer songwriter
From Scotland
From Scotland
Mm-hmm
Right
And they just told us
He must have a Scouse accent
That's why he's not
Pretty good at it
No he was crap
After 1966 wasn't he?
Yeah
The Beatles were
Didn't
I don't think they released
An album after 1966
No
No they did release some
Oh they did
Some of their best work
Some of their absolute best work.
John Lennon wrote a lot of that.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And Paul Adora, they've written a lot of it.
Pre-1966.
Yeah.
So it was there, ready to go.
It was like Tupac.
When Tupac died,
Ghetto Gospel hadn't come out yet.
It's literally just like,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Ghetto Gospel changes.
You're a silly person.
No.
You're closed-minded minded this is where conspiracy theories
theorists let themselves down
when they're like what about JFK
what about imaginary Paul McCartney
Jesus Christ
yeah what about him
that's a conspiracy
it's the biggest
conspiracy of all time isn't it
Yeah
Religion
Yeah
And you're an atheist
I fucking hate conspiracy talk
It's so boring
Do you not think like
Religion was invented to keep everyone
Under control though
What
Yeah he does believe that he's an atheist
Yeah
Religion was invented to keep people fucking whipped
It's not a conspiracy, is it?
Yeah.
How is that a fucking...
The religion...
How is that a fucking conspiracy?
Does the religious fucking...
The subjugation of the working class and human existence,
like, blighted by the holy man being at the right hand of all kings, emperors.
It's not a fucking conspiracy.
It's just the history of human existence.
Right.
But it's not like the Pope's come out and gone,
yeah, we invented it all to fucking keep people fucking...
It doesn't...
They didn't invent it, did they?
It's been since the dawn of time,
since the first man went,
Jesus Christ, if that sun's not there,
it's a bit scary.
Why is that big ball of fire in the sky? Then it goes down then i'm cold oh my god i'm a bit freaked out by that
and then like the the tribal leader went yeah everyone's scared of that shit i should get the
guy that thinks he knows about that to sit there and say listen don't uprise against me i'm in
charge and that holy man says that if you do that because i've been chosen by the ball of fire
in the sky,
so just stay there, enjoy your shitty life, give some money to me.
That's nothing to do with Catholicism.
That predates all known religion.
You just said he said Jesus Christ, the son.
It doesn't even exist.
Conspiracy.
See, that is a conspiracy theory, though.
It's not a conspiracy theory.
That's not a conspiracy theory
So do you think the Pope's in on it?
What?
Do you think the Pope's in on it?
I just think you're talking about
You're literally talking about
All of the history of man
It predates
There's videos of the Pope
Putting the dynamite in the
Off tower
You're being
Stupid
I don't want to end this section
How much
Can I give you money wise to stop talking this drivel?

The famous serengeti reindeers.
Hello, my name is Santa.

like Laura got into TikTok
I was on it for about
three weeks
but it already feels
pervert
like oh I've seen
what the kids are doing
and it's very entertaining
but I feel like
it was just like
the same dance that every quagmire and it's just like i try not to watch the dances
you can you can kind of if you say what you want to watch it just blocks that stuff out you teach
it your own algorithm what's your tiktok algorithm just videos of me right now that's your own profile that was brilliant i like all the
fail ones on tiktok where it's like oh no oh no oh no no no no no it's my favorite one oh yeah i
know that where it is somewhere that was where it's like oh people born in 90 late 90s are old
and then it does that voice. Oh, really? Yeah.
People born in the early 90s, me?
When are you born?
Dead old.
Early 90s.
Are you?
How old are you?
28.
Are you 28?
A lot of people think I'm younger, but... Yeah, I think you are.
I've only just turned 28, so basically still, like, 25.
Oh, I nearly said I'm 28.
That's how that works, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, because Carl asked me how old I was, like 25 oh i nearly said i'm 28 that's how that works isn't it yeah yeah i say because carl asked
me how old i was i just told him that my uh my agent tells me to tell people i'm a bit younger

passport with me and he's like no one's id in you but i do get id just not when jamie's there
right yeah in the pill you get id in a lot of places no matter what you look like because No one's IDing you. But I do get IDed, just not when Jamie's there. Right.
In Liverpool, you get IDed in a lot of places,
no matter what you look like,
because they want to know who's in there in case someone gets stabbed.
You get scanned into lots of places, don't you?
Yeah.
Scan.
You scan your passports, you know who is in the building
at what time.
Yeah.
And they've got a metal detector
at a lot of bars in Liverpool.
What sort of bars are you going to?
Yeah, they've got a lot.
There's a lot of knife crime in Liverpool.
Choose a life, not a knife.
That and drill five alive. Josh is just like, they've got a gun. There's a lot of knife crime in Liverpool. Choose a life, not a knife. That'd be the best part of life.
Josh is just like,
I've got a passport!

You need to check it!
You probably do need to check it.
Adam's got like a fucking oozy,
knuckle dust or a lad.

Cowabunga.
You look like Joey in Friends when he asked me.

Sup?
I love TikToks and I love it.

Say this again.
How low would you lie about?
So I think I could say I was 17.
What?
What?
Like, if I shaved this, I've got a bit of a baby face,
so I could be 17.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You looked 33
when you were 17

one of the knuckle dusters

what it's not to prove age though it's not to prove age
no
it's to prove
who's stabbing who
basically
oh actually
lockdown one
I've never
like

about five times
I've headbutted
someone in a bar
no
you've what
you've headbutted someone
yeah he touched me
Willie
he touched you
Willie
tell the story.
That was it, basically.
I was at your idols.
Some stranger touched me dick,
so I just nutted him and ran away.
Was this in a gay bar?
Yeah, obviously.
Because that was Wetherspoons.
Staling rich Wetherspoons has really gone down
in Cruise 101
in Manchester
oh Cruise 101
dirty
dirty boy
not one of the
higher end establishments
in the village
Cruise 101
is like
if you go in Cruise 101
and a guy touches your dick
you're almost legally
not allowed to be like
a guy just touched my dick
he's like babes
it's Cruise 101
but I went with
my friend Sam
who's
well he's gay
but one of the like
muscly ones
he's just
topless all the time
and he's a
I'd be
if I was gay
I'd be one of them
yeah so he's a ho
and I'm
I'm more of like
the
I like like
book
little book nerds
little
so yeah
geeky gays
yeah I love a geeky gay.
Have you got a name for that?
Because I know there's a lot of terminology within the gay community.
Cubs, bears.
Just fucking geeks.
I don't know.
Nerds.
All right.
Josh, I don't go for terminology.
I just call them fucking geeks.
But it's so rubbish because I am really genuinely attracted to nerds.
So you type that in a gay porn app,
it's shit.
It's just a muscly guy with glasses on.
It's like, you're not fucking fooling anyone
who's reading a book upside down.
It's like, it's shit.
There's not enough focus on it.
Well, you actually want to see someone's PhD qualification
before you watch the pornography they're in.
No, but I want him to look nerder.
You know, a bit anemic.
Like, anemic like anemic
yeah just like
literally
I'm looking for
someone with an
iron deficiency
you don't want to
suspend disbelief
for your porn
no I want him
to look
real
I'd just like to
just
circle back a sec
when this guy
touched your dick
was piss
leaving your penis
at the time
I can't I honestly can't remember I just remember him When this guy touched your dick, was piss leaving your penis at the time?
I honestly can't remember.
I just remember him touching my willy,
me headbutting him,
him falling back and then me going,
I don't know what to do now, I'm not away.
Did you say that out loud?
I just remembered.
Because I headbutted him.
I headbutted him and he went back and he was like bigger than me.
And then I thought,'ve either got a run
or something's going to happen
so I just ran
it's quite a baller move
headbutting someone with your dick out
I know, I'm a bit of a baller though
do you know what I mean?
in Street Fighter that'd be a hell of an ender
you're a bit of a scrapper though aren't you
because you used to be a boxer
well I did boxing for a hell of an ender you're a bit of a scrapper though aren't you because you used to be a boxer well I did boxing for
a couple of years
when I was younger
and now I think
because I've spoke
about it on stage
and spoken and stuff
I think people think
I still do I've not
done it in like 10
years
oh I heard you were
the light heavyweight
champion
me and Anthony
Joshua just we meet
up every week
yeah yeah
I was in the Olympics.
She didn't take us in.
Did you ever do any combat sports?
Did a bit of judo
when I was a kid.
I did karate
but stopped.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you do it?
Did a bit of judo.
Mate, he was in the chess club.
I don't know why
he thinks this is so funny.
I did a bit of judo, mate.
I did karate
but I had to stop when he got me finger chopped off
because he had a cast on me hand.
Because you got involved with the Yakuza.
Josh, you start in so many great stories,
and I do not want to, do want to,
my judo was just, I got thrown around a bit,
and I was like, oh, this is all right.
I never even made it to yellow belt.
What, you did karate?
Oh, I think I was on there for a couple of weeks and i was like i'm really loving this this was when do you remember jackie
chan he had um he had books out and you could get little medallions like i don't know just me all
right i loved him anyway which bit of manchester did you grow up in do you not remember the jackie
chan i reckon that was definitely legit in some part.
Where are you from in Manchester?
Well, this was in Failsworth.
In Failsworth.
Yeah, the Jackie Chan School of Martial Arts.
There's only one in the world and it's in Failsworth near Oldham.
Do you not remember Jackie Chan's cartoon?
I remember the cartoon.
I remember the cartoon, yeah.
And then you could collect medallions.
Never mind. I had all of them i was buzzing anyway so the classic story of a young gay man in fail to every day every day guys like
oh tell me about it josh i went through my jackie chan karate phase fucking brilliant so then i
thought i've got to become a karate master so then started karate but then i
got my finger chopped off so i just stopped and never went back to it why did you get your finger
chopped off i was trying to escape from primary school right and i don't know why um but do you
know when you've got those metal fences with the free spikes yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I would, like, try to do one, climbing it over there,
and then I fell off, but my finger stayed on.
Right.
And, yeah, cut through, look through.
It's weird.
But they put it on, like, sideways.
Oh, is it sewed back on?
Yeah, look at it.
Oh, my God.
Oh, shit, yeah.
It looks like I've got three thumbs.
Oh, my God.
I know.
Yeah, it's like an angle, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jesus Christ.
I could be using that for a street man, though.
Yeah, but gay men use their fingers as well.
This goes...
And it's...
Honestly, it's fucking solid.
Listen.
I don't know what they put in it, but it's solid.
So bitchy.
When you're waiting on someone, what's it?
It's a weird old thing weird do you know how stupid
I am
because this story
involved karate
and he lost a finger
I just assumed
samurai swords
were involved
yeah
that's karate
it fails me
that would have been
a better story
but no
I just was escaping
from primary school
I honestly thought
it was a karate fight
incident
and then it just
becomes you
climbing over a fence
I had to end karate because I got my finger chopped off in the karate fight no i was climbing over
fencing i thought he was challenging the fucking leader of the dojo what to to a fucking scrap and
then the sensei the sensei and he got a fucking sword up was like fucking back down and he just
karate chopped my finger off yeah with a sword i did karate for a week. With swords? No.
With dicks.
No, karate means empty hand.
Right.
It was shit karate.
Oh, so I shouldn't have brought swords into it.
Even though two or three seconds ago,
you were like,
I thought that karate thing was about swords.
Jesus Christ.
It's just like dancing karate though isn't it
when
I only was there
for the first couple of weeks
but they teach you the
the moves
do you know what I mean
you have to learn like
the dance moves
the drills
yes before you do
I didn't really get to karate
a lot of karate champions
actually
watch the rhythmic gymnastics
and get confused
and end up in a fight
so it's bullshit because he started laughing before he got it out watch the rhythmic gymnastics and get confused and end up in a fight.
So it was bullshit because he started laughing before he got it out.
But I did actually do karate for a week.
And then my dad wouldn't let me go back again. Because after one lesson, my little brother didn't come off the PlayStation in time.
You know, like when you're a kid and you're like, right, you can play for half an hour,
then you can play, and then you can play, and then you can play, whatever. He didn't come PlayStation in time. You know, like when you're a kid and you're like, right, you can play for half an hour, then you can play,
and then you can play, and then you can play, whatever.
He didn't come off in time, and I threatened to round.
I was kicking him in the head.
And my dad was like, you're not going back to Karate.
I'm not having you getting a brown button
and killing me fucking young son.
I'm not weaponising this little fucker.
Why didn't he just send the brother to Karate as well,
and then you can fight over the PlayStation?
That's what I would do.
And then you've got the strongest son,
and then you know who gets everything.
That's what we do for his will.
Yeah.
In my last will and testament,
I would like a fight to death.
Christmas is boring every year. So they're now both training in mixed martial arts.
Do kids do
MMA now
is the kids MMA training
they must be
because I mean
karate and judo
I mean judo was
like
really was a pansy
version of karate
it's basically karate
without any punching
or like kicking
how long did you do it for
about two years
I'm not even joking
it was a fucking ball
like yeah
did you judo throw me
well probably because I'm i don't know
you're quite sturdy though you're like bottom heavy you're thin but thick your big bone you
haven't um but mixed martial arts is now mma and ufc is so much more popular i bet it's even like
more popular than boxing i know boxing's been around for years, but UFC's the hot one, isn't it?
Yeah, well, Ronda Rousey.
Well, I don't know.
Rody Ronda Rousey.
People like it because of male ones,
but when I see a woman do something,
I'm like, I'm going to do that now.
So if I was younger, I would have been like,
I'm going to be Ronda Rousey.
Yeah.
Because I used to watch wrestling,
and then because of Lita,
I used to just start doing cartwheels around the house.
But UFC's great for equality
in terms of, there's only
tennis in UFC that
genuinely women headline major
UFC events, which is
not the case
in so many other sports. In tennis,
the women technically get paid more.
Because they do less sets. Because there's less
sets, yeah. because they're lazy
yeah
that's why that is
have a word
pod at gmail.com
if you'd like to speak
to Adam about that one
can you ask me a question
Adam
is there anything
that a woman can do
that a man can't
do better
give birth
no
as in like
something they can both do
you asked me this question
is there anything that a woman can do that a man hasn't done better the question was No, as in like something they can both do? You asked me this question.
Is there anything a woman can do that a man hasn't done better?
Is there anything that both genders do?
Josh?
I'm like, I'm a typical gay in that way I just love women Do you have any women idols?
What are your women idols?
Not that many then
Condoleezza Rice
Who's Condoleezza Rice?
Doesn't matter go on
My female idols
I'm really glad this is
You've circled that back on Adam
Great
I didn't ask the question he did Yeah. I'm really glad you've circled that back on, Adam. Yeah. Great.
I didn't ask the question, he did.
Female idols.
Sarah Silverman.
Good one.
Joan Rivers.
Fab.
I need that there's no pictures of them in this room to give you a few clues.
Michelle Obama.
Oh, you're just rounding off big names now.
Oh, do you want a smaller name?
Well, no.
Cathy, who used to work in the supermarket.
The woman at the chippy.
I do like Sue, who works in the chippy right now.
Sue and May, they're dead sound.
They know me by name now.
The other day, I actually rang the chippy
and made me order, and she went, they're dead sound. They know me by name now. The other day, I actually rang the chippy and made me order.
And she went, that you, Adam.
You know you're eating at the chippy too much.
I'm like, aye, babe.
God, I haven't even spoken.
My first job was at a chipper when I was 14.
14, illegal, but fine.
No, not illegal.
And as you can't work, so you're 16. And you can't be like, I just... No, not illegal. You can't work until you're 16.
No, you can't be like that.
Yeah, cash in hand.
You can't work.
I had all my clothes on.
What do you mean?
Even more illegal.
You can't.
You can work before you're 16, can't you?
No.
You can't be tax registered until you're 16, can you?
Well, what about paper boys?
Yeah, but it's cash in hand, isn't it?
It's not legal.
No, it's not illegal.
It's not illegal to be a paper boy
I think you might
have heard something
about that
but the chippy
with cash in hand
he won't give me
five pound an hour
in my bank account
yeah
I don't think
it's illegal
to work at a chippy
under 16
is it
no it's fine
there's probably laws
but it's not
well when I was 14
I used to work
in a fruit shop
that my mum worked in
and I had to stay
in the back and cut all the veg up.
Like when you go to a fruit shop and there's bags of carrot and sweet
that's being cut up.
That was my job.
I was cutting the carrot and sweet up and bagging it,
and I had to work in the back because I was too young.
You were a carrot bagger?
Yeah.
That does sound like a derogatory term, doesn't it?
Like a fucking carrot bagger.
Didn't Arsenal play then when they opened the league bagger. Didn't Arsenal play then when they
opened the league?
What?
Didn't Arsenal play
then?
The chip shop.
The illegal chip shop.
Let's make it edgy.
I lose fingers
in karate.
Were you on display?
Were you like
in the...
Yeah, in the window.
In a fish suit
rubbing his nipples
with chips.
Sales are up,'ll tell you what
you know what
because I have to work
in the back
so that no one's
seeing the child
I don't think it was
employment law
I just
I just
I just
oh my god
there's just some
fruit and veg shop owner
who's like
keep that little kid
in the fucking back
Jesus Christ.
Adam!
Adam's trying to come out.
Yes.
I cut my finger one day as well.
Not like that bad, but yeah, I ate it.
Can you Google that please and check
whether it's legal to work underage?
Because I'm pretty sure.
It can't just be legal to give a child cash in hand.
Otherwise, why wouldn't everyone just use children?
You know, if you ran Matalan,
why don't you just employ a the 14-year-olds?
The Children and Young Persons Act of 1933,
which might need updating,
sets 14 at the minimum age a child can be employed
and includes the following restrictions.
They can't stay...
You can only do light work
and they can't do more than five hours on a Saturday or Sunday.
Okay.
There we go.
That's 1933.
So 40, I mean, there's loads of laws.
14.
14, yeah.
That seems reasonable, doesn't it?
I'm trying to think how old I was when I got my first paper round.
I started smoking at 12, so I needed to pay for the six.
So was that your first job, the chip shop?
Yeah. How did you pay for your six for those So was that your first job, the chip shop? Yeah.
How did you pay for your cigs for those first two years?
I sold cigs in school.
50p each, all free for a pound, if anyone's interested.
How did you get them?
Well, I even got people to go in the shop.
He sent someone to Spain!
Can you go to Mammut in Calais?
No, I used to get people to go to the
shop for me
there was
god this is quite
bad actually
for a while
there was this guy
who were like 32
when he got out of
prison but we didn't
know what he did
and he used to go
in the shop for me
which is weird
but he didn't touch
me so it's fine
and my sister used
to go in the shop
for my cigs
and then when she
had a kid she was like oh
no and then grasped on me for smoking i was like you bitch right yeah did anyone round by your
because i imagine by yours the answer will be yes because you're from manchester live but are quite
similar despite the fact that we like to think that we're not did anyone like near yours sell
fake ciggies did you have a house you could knock on and buy cigars?
The ice cream van near me dad used to sell them.
And then he used to put them in a mix-up bag
so no one knew that he was selling cigs to kids.
Our ice cream van used to sell weed.
A mix-up bag, as in like pick-a-mix?
You got pick-a-mix in it.
You put like six cigs in there.
And they were like Spanish.
So fried eggs.
Yeah.
And then, you know you know few cola bottles
and then six B&H
what's a fake cigarette
it's like
they're not
yeah
they're Spanish
but like
it'll be in a regal packet
but they're actually just
like they're just
shite ciggies
that they've put in that box
yeah and you get them
off the lucky lucky man
and everything
my mum and dad
used to sell them
that's where I learnt
how to fucking hustle
and bustle
from my mum and dad
so you were doing it as well
you were selling cigs?
In school, yeah. 50p each, free for a pound.
You still know the price? 50p each?
Isn't that...
No, now you wouldn't make any money off it now.
Poor kids.
I mean, like...
Brexit?
I mean, then it were alright.
Yeah, it used to be three pound for a pack of the ciggies.
For a pack of 20.
Like from the fella.
His name's Tony.
I won't say his surname.
God, I'm out.
I had to send it out to Tony.
He used to get 200 bifters and it would be £30.
We just got L&B from the shop.
John Moore and Andrew Justice both looked about fucking...
They both looked like they had families.
What did they look like now?
John Moore, honestly, was more manly at 14 years old than I am,
just shy of 40.
Had a full beard and drove a Range Rover.
That's my memory of it.
Moore and Justice sound like a cop duo.
John Moore and Andrew Justice.
It's time to solve some crimes With Justice and Moore
Justice and Moore
Ain't John Moore the name of one of the unis in Liverpool?
Yeah he actually
He bought Specky Brew for the kids round our way
Saved up all the money
Sold some L&B and then bought a university
Specky Brew is that what you're calling?
Did you used to drink that?
Everyone used to drink that didn't they?
No I didn't I've never touched this stuff
What was your like shit first ale like you know the first thing
i ever drank like the thing you drank when you were dead young well white lightning white shine
yeah frosty jacks white diamond white yeah ah which is a cider if you're not from the uk and
you didn't go through the fucking grueling rite of passage that was, right, we're going down the park and we're getting shit-faced.
We've got £3.99 and we need a fucking gallon of this paint stripper fizzy cider.
It was great.
I mean, it's terrible.
Oh, it worked to treat.
And did you ever do that where you were like,
if you spin around, you get pissed quicker.
So you just stood in a park with a bottle of beer
and just spinning around looking like a fucking knobhead.
I used to love drinking down the park.
It was so good.
Especially in summer.
Like in winter when the hard core, you're going down the park,
you're like, no, I don't want to freeze to death, you lunatics.
In the summer where all the kids were hanging around the park
and just as it started going dark, you were like,
I'm definitely going to finger someone tonight.
Quality.
I loved it, mate mate it was so fun when um so where my dad lives in dralston in manchester when we used to drink around there we used to drink on a church like a
church grounds and he was doing a saturday night mass and we was like at the back of the church
drinking on the steps which is bad might as well get some free wine. Yeah, but he said the pastor tried to get us in the church.
I mean, he was like, why don't you just come in in the warm, whatever.
So we all had to hide our beer and stuff.
And I had a massive, it was like a fucking skiing coat
that I got from TK Maxx.
So I shoved two litres of cider down me sleeve.
So I'm like,, there like that.
I can't move my arm.
Walking in like you're trying to accept the Lord.
But I need a wee, so I go to the toilet while this mass is on.
And then, like, I just have a wee,
but when I come back in, they see the top of the cider.
So then we all get kicked out because they're like,
you've been drinking cider in the toilet.
And I got kicked out of a church.
And then from down then, it's just gone down.
And that was the start.
That was when you lost God?
Yeah.
How pissed as kids do you have to be
when a pastor comes out and goes,
guys, do you want to come inside?
Like, yeah, this will be good fun.
This is strong cider.
Let's see if being inside a church can help.
My mum's brother's a pastor, though.
Is he?
Yeah, in South Africa.
And he lives over there.
And I said to my friend, like, oh.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You say things, right, and then you skip right over them
as if it's just a normal sentence.
You've got a South African uncle.
Yeah.
Who is a man of the cloth.
So a load of my mum's family live in South Africa.
And then when he was like
20
he moved out there
to join him
or whatever
and now he's in the church
and
and he's been there
he's like nearly 70 I think
so he's been there for ages
but
so I was saying to my friend
oh my uncle's like a pastor
in South Africa
he just went
oh yeah
my aunt is a garlic bread in Venice
I was like
you are thick as shit
I thought you were
just making up words
to sound exciting
that's fucking
incredible
you got any
South African relatives
I've got a mate
who lives in South Africa
yeah
met a girl in
China
when they were
teaching English
out there
and she's from
South Africa
she's from South Africa
and they've moved back there to live shout out to Sean and Gianna teaching English out there. And she's from South Africa. She's from South Africa. South Africa.
And they've moved back there to live.
Shout out to Sean and Gianna.
Would you ever move there?
I am not sure I'd visit.
Why?
I just don't know yet.
I've been.
Nice?
I didn't really like it.
But I was only about nine.
But I remember thinking,
because obviously when you grow up in a city,
you grow up with different races and stuff. And you're like whatever and then when i went to south africa i was like
not everybody's treated the same i think it's the first time i noticed like some shit is fucked up
do you even at nine did you know did you know the history of apartheid and all that
no but i knew that my did you literally just work it how
racist is south africa that you even as a nine-year-old like la la la la la this is racist
i'm not even sure what racism is but i can fucking sniff it out we stayed at my uncle's house which
was massive like it probably like over there because then he was working as an electrician
which is a good job but over there his house was fucking huge and he had like a maid
and um but she was she was like black and that's when i noticed it because i was like
everyone where all the people with the big houses were all white and then all everyone else who
were working there wasn't yeah so even at nine i was like oh you know yeah they've got a uh they've
got a difficult
history there haven't they but uh i've obviously like they might have listeners in south africa
guys do you know what you're talking about but it is a it's a it's a bad history isn't it like
we didn't play sport against south africa for fucking years because of apartheid like there
was a total sporting ban like english teams wouldn't play them like the cricket and the
rugby wouldn't go over there because of apartheid and obviously that got changed and then nelson
mandela came and things are different but there's still that cultural divide of like that's where
the black people live and the white people you know a lot of people really hate mandela
and i found that out when i had so I used to do a stand up routine about
a girl saying she wouldn't
sleep with Nelson Mandela and in the routine
I defended him
and basically said she should shag him
and that clip went
on Lab Bible and
it got nothing but hate
because there's a lot of people saying Nelson Mandela
is an angel and you should never joke about him
and the other half were saying he's a terrorist
and he doesn't deserve to be defended.
And I pissed off both sides of the spectrum
and left very little grey area of joy.
That's really one of those ones
that you probably don't need to get into the comments on, isn't it?
Just referenced him because he's a famous old guy.
You don't even know about Nelson Mandela.
Well, you need to listen to our podcast.
We don't know much about much
I would like to visit, I'd like to see it
but it's
it's got a
famously one of the comics
from the Northern Circuit, Martin Moore
who used to be Martin Big Pig
looks like a Viking doesn't he
and he's got this huge beard
and they went out to do gigs there this is years ago
and they were gigging outside joeberg in an area where it's a little bit feisty a little bit rough
and it's just a done thing that you stayed in the hotel complex because the crime's quite bad
in south africa in certain places johannesburg's got a bit of a history for it and because he's
just didn't know he just went off for a fucking walk
did anything happen nothing happened yeah because he looks like a boar he looks like so there's a
there's a history of south africa with like like the white people the the sort of indigenous black
people and then also the boars and he just wandered out but because he looks so fucking
frightening he just he just he got left and the promoter was having fucking kittens
when he walked back in
like never leave the complex again
for the love of fucking god
and Martin Moore's just a rock hard
viking looking northern Irishman
like they didn't see a problem
absolutely fine
that's when you know
somewhere's a bit tasty
when the promoter's like
please don't leave the building
I know we're gonna do the gig here
but stay in the fucking building
I get that
when I'm in Rochdale
listen faggot get away I know we're going to do the gig here, but stay in the fucking building. I get that when I'm in Rochdale.
Listen, faggot, get away.
Stay inside.
He lost a finger to karate.
Leave it.
There's a comic that I won't name because I'm not sure how public information this is.
He's definitely done stand-up about it, though, who did gigs in South Africa,
and he thought he was going with a couple of prostitutes and
they drugged and
robbed them.
A comic got
drugged and robbed
by South African
prostitutes.
You know when I
hear stories about
comedians doing
stupid shit like
that, I don't
sympathise that
much.
If it was a
normal person I'd
be like, oh
well that's
unlucky.
But when it's a
comedian I'm like,
you fucking
bellalala.
Finish the gig,
get a couple of prostitutes, two days unlucky. But when it's a comedian, I'm like, you fucking Bella. Finish the gig. Get a couple of prostitutes two days later.
I get really jealous of comics
who get to go to Dubai and stuff
because loads of comics go and do Dubai, don't they?
But I'm like, I can't go there
because I'll get fucking killed.
But I'm just like-
No, you'd be all right in Dubai.
I don't think so.
No, you would
yeah
so shall I just go now
yeah just give it a go
are you talking about
your homosexuality
yeah
yeah well I know
a homosexual man
and he lives out there now
and he is
camper than you are
and he's doing quite well
over there
he's not dead
he started a pride
if you're interested next year it's not dead. He started a pride. I don't know you.
If you're interested,
next year it's going to be pretty big.
Dubai pride.
And it's the only places that hasn't got COVID restrictions.
And I swear to God,
if Dubai stays the only place
that hasn't got COVID restrictions,
I reckon people will be like,
I know it's risky,
but I fancy Dubai pride.
It's just one bloke that Adam knows.
Yeah.
Dubai is a very sort of liberal islamic
country no well the uae yeah dubai is a very liberal city have you been yeah i've been doing
comedy that yes okay um have you been yeah a while ago i've been to Bahrain several times Dubai I've been to Oman how many gay days did you see
floating about
I fucked a few
but they were really
let me just remember
I
speaking as a man
who's got a mug
no I understand
your nervousness
no yeah
just don't want to get killed
because
Larry Dean's been out there
and I know he's
yeah but he can like
hide it
but he
I can only hide it
for about a minute
and then my voice sets
do you think
what do you think they're going to
be like
hello
passport control
they're like
let me just do
the gay dar on you
not good
I don't want to
tell Larry's story
for him
but I'm pretty sure
he would have
if he was
a camper gay man
he might have been
in a lot of trouble
out there
because he got
stopped at the border
because he had
CBD oil oh and like you know
for his his vape and it's illegal out there it's a drug yeah so he got like arrested at the at the
border and the the comedy club that had brought him i was had to like negotiate with them and
get him out if they'd have known he was gay then it might have got a lot a lot a lot hairier like
is that is that honest
like all joking aside you would you yeah i'm not i wouldn't even risk it if it's a country where
it's like either even if it's just been legalized in the last five years i'll be like i'll wait five
more like i'm not a fucking guinea pig yeah i'm not yeah give them a decade of getting used to it
and then you can show off.
There's an argument to say no one should be going to these places
where it's illegal to be gay.
The money's gone.
No, but it's part of their culture.
You're like, oh, so their backward horrible shit
is historic.
Oh, well then let's leave it in place forever.
It's grim, isn't it?
Yeah, but as a comic i'm more like get the
money i don't get don't like put your good money free holiday like i'm i'll retweet stuff josh
just don't actually bring it up with any of your friends or like where have you been josh uh real
just been real for 10 days
and I've got a really good time
I've been to the sun centre
shut up
because I feel like
every other comic
has done it
and I'm just like
bastard
because it's like
good money
and a holiday
I just want to go
somewhere nice
it's club money
it's normal club money
oh is it
yeah so you do like
if you do the laughter factory
which is a great comedy club
and I love Gail and Duncan
who run that
they I hope they don't mind me putting their business out you get 220 per gig and you
get your flight and accommodation paid for so you normally do like five or six gigs yeah so you're
there for 10 days you do six gigs you'll get about 1200 quid but josh could you straighten up your set
because and and I mean this,
as one of your biggest fans,
I compared one of your very first gigs back in the day.
Yes, The Frog.
I always loved your stand-up.
Could you go to Dubai and be like,
right, I've been smashing all the puss.
Smell me fingers.
Really?
In Dubai, they're like,
that's very good. Yeah, I could just do like you're like, that's not English.
That's not English.
Yeah, I could just do like,
I love so much pussy.
I'm so full of eating so much pussy.
I can't do it.
I feel dirt.
No.
It's like Dave Twentyman's set.
I'm just being a dick.
I can do,
I can go on stage and not mention it
but I can't hide this
if I could have
hide this
I would have done it
in school
this is just the way
it fucking is now
I am
I'm pretty sure
Larry did
hit like
the stuff about him
being gay on stage
while he was out there
so
but I'm not sure
it is risky though
it is risky
it is risky
and I'll tell you
why I know for sure
it's risky
but also
isn't he from Glasgow so they'll probably be like we'll fucking attack another one
he'll probably fight us back and work out what he's saying yeah like they there's a lot of uh
there's a lot of like dodgy territory like about what you can and can't say so
in every hotel over there there's the picture of like the the royal family the royal
family so like the the guy who looks over dubai abu dhabi and then the whole country yeah but
there's another word for them because i had a friend at you king in it the royal prince
i thought it was a sheik i don't know yeah i i had again come here for facts i had a friend who was from dubai at
guna and her dad was a plastic surgeon in dubai and she showed me a picture of his car it was
like the fucking batmobile yeah it was insane and she was at sulfur juna yeah but you've got to even
if you've got it even if you are a plasterer from Dubai, you probably are driving a fucking great car.
But Adams, they're more worried.
I know, I know, I know.
I know he really wasn't a plasterer.
Same thing, really.
They're obsessed.
They're obsessed with no defamation of the royal family.
Oh, yeah, we literally got told.
In Bahrain, you don't even go anywhere near it.
And sometimes there are, like, government representatives at the gig, monitors.
We got told when we landed the first time,
don't worry about terrorism, all their money's here.
So they're not going to bomb this because they'd literally cost themselves money.
And secondly, we're happy with almost anything on stage.
Don't say cunt too often and also nothing about
the royal family at all because literally
if they want to arrest you there's nothing we can do
about it so don't do that
but I'm pretty sure Larry did
his stuff about being gay
and when I did my trans bit
I pissed two
people off, one woman got pissed off
because she was like you're transphobic it was just drunk and not listening and there was a what i pissed two people off one woman got pissed off because she was like
you're transphobic uh it was just drunk i'm not listening and there was a local guy who was pissed
off because i say in that routine like trans people should be allowed to choose their gender
and whatever and he's like it's disgusting and they were both arguing each other in the audience
oh my god that's amazing as a comedian but i tell you i'm tagging out if you could just
and have that horrible conversation i hate it when they tell you what I'm tagging out if you could just fucking deal with each other and have that horrible conversation
I hate it when
they tell you
like so they say
you can't talk about
the royal family
I hate it
when you go on stage
and they tell you anything
when they say
oh someone's birthday
I don't give a fuck
like
fuck off
like fuck off
it's Darren's birthday
when you first start
emceeing
you're like
oh you'll do it now I just say oh I forgot fuck off oh it's Darren's birthday. And when you first start emceeing, you're like, oh, you'll do it.
Now I just say, oh, fuck off, fuck off.
The worst is when a promoter, a really good promoter,
sets a room out nicely, fills that room,
sorts all the tech, and then picks good acts,
and at that point lets the show happen.
They don't go, right, just to let you know,
this is how this room goes
because I fucking know this room.
Don't say this.
And it just makes you go,
I'm going to fucking say it.
Well, I would do that.
Depending on the gig,
like, do you guys differ?
No, the royal family.
Yeah, yeah.
Adam's like,
oh, you don't want it?
I've got it.
But if I'm doing a fucking pub gig
in fucking Lancashire
or fucking Yorkshire
and they're like,
oh, by the way,
they don't like the word cunty
and I'll be like,
right, first word. What's up, what's up cunts my mum's favorite swear word it's everyone's favorite i already like your mum more because of it it's a favorite one i remember
years ago very long ago when i had a girlfriend uh my girlfriend was at my house and then do this
in dubai this bit and i said to my mom like oh because i thought she
was posh she had a garage anyway i was like she doesn't like the word cunt you know she's quite
to do so then my mom was like okay i won't say it and then all i could just hear me this cunting dog
this cunting house cunting stinks in here.
I was like, oh, fucking hell.
That's so funny.
Amazing.
What was her name?
What?
The girl.
Or my mum.
No.
What's your mum's name, lad?
Come on in here.
We want to know about your family.
Ann Ward is my mum's name.
What was your first girlfriend's name?
Jess.
She wasn't my first.
My first was called Jade.
I'm still friends with
both of them now kind of you are friends with all your exes i i am we were just speaking yeah
we were just talking about it before we started recording josh split up with his boyfriend in the
first week of the first lockdown and then live with him till september oh so we live from the first of from whenever it happened in march
till the end of september was there any lockdown non-committal hanky-panky get like twice just to
scratch the itch but like a couple months in between my bum holes itchy yeah get it for me
but it wasn't as like i I think both of us knew.
We were just doing it just to get it done.
But it wasn't a nasty, it obviously wasn't a nasty.
It was a great breakup.
Because no one has a nasty breakup and then is like, right, you fucking bastard.
I know it's a one bedroom flat, but I can't get out of the tenancy for another six months.
We're still mates now.
I was texting him yesterday.
It was like, luckily, the best breakup you could have and we still live
with each other how did you what did you do to so he went on the sofa and i took the bedroom
nice one well you won that one yeah well i don't know how was that decided um i had the bedroom
i just said oh i'll have the bedroom. Just got your monkey finger out. Just remember, I've done this to myself.
I broke his ribs.
I did accidentally break his leg, though, when we was together.
That was an accident, though.
It wasn't like domestic abuse.
What?
Okay.
When we was together, we was in Edinburgh,
and we was like tie fighting.
And I pushed him over
and he
fucking snapped his leg
and then
because he snapped
his leg before
I have to promise
it was an accident
but then
so we went to
the hospital
and I felt like
a domestic abuser
because the woman
was like
oh how did you do this
and he went
oh I fell over
but it was me
and I was just
sat there
looking at him
like how did you do it how did you do this and he went oh I fell over but it was me and I was just sat there looking at him how did you do it
how did you do it
but he did actually
do you need to come
in a different room love
can we just have a
oh my god
but yeah so
so I have to be friends
with him
or he could fucking
grass on me
do you know what I mean
so you used to be a boxer
you had put people
in toilets
and you broke someone's leg
by accident
that was a genuine accident
have you ever
hit anyone else
emotionally
too nice
no yeah
but that was an accident
yeah yeah
keep saying it
it'll come through
I'm friends with
all my exes
they fucking
better be mates
but yeah we
we split up
and I thought
oh fucking hell
I'm gonna live with
my ex-boyfriend
I'll get loads of
material out of this.
And then we got on with each other fine.
How did you, what did you do day to day?
Because that's quite an intense six months
of one being on the couch, one being in a bedroom.
How have you got through?
It's ended friendships, it's ended housemate relationships,
it's ended marriages.
And your six months out, that was fine, honestly.
But we never argued when we used to get up of us are right argumentative people right and if we if i was starting to get an
idea i'll just go for a walk do you know what i mean but we he did what he did in the living room
and i had the bedroom and then in like the afternoon we'd just watch like a film together
and then it was nice we kept our distance but this is the best we've ever got on
it was it was really lovely actually what a nice story your break up sounds like my marriage
we do things over there you sleep there i sleep here sometimes we watch a film together
but we still yeah we still text like at least like twice a week
god i'm fine.
Just keep in touch.
Do you not think that because you broke up so well,
it was meant to be?
Nah.
No, it's not.
No, I'm a cat.
No, I genuinely don't think it went well.
I think we got on better when we split up.
Because it was like, I think we should have been mates from the get-go.
But because we met on a dating app,
we thought we had to fuck.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
But I think we was just... It's on the terms and conditions when you tick it.
I think we were all made to be mates.
Do you know what I mean?
How long were you together?
Only like two years.
Right.
How's being single in a pandemic?
Shit.
Because I'm back at my mum's as well.
Not breaking the rules.
Back at me cunt in mum's.
Not breaking the rules for a little bit.
I haven't chagged anyone in months.
I've been losing weight.
Listen, I'm holding out now so that I'll rather wait a bit longer
so that when I do it, I'm like...
Ta-da!
It's like Joseph and his technicality.
Get yourself some glasses, call yourself a nerd.
Yeah, I just look sexy.
Touch this dick.
I won't headbutt or anything.
Shall we have a little interval?
Yeah, I need some chocolate as well because I'm getting light-headed.
I need a wee.
Right.
Okay.
Okay, good.
Great point for a break.
I need a wee.
Right.
Okay.
Okay, good.
Great point for a break.

right
final section
of episode, what are we on?
103? 103.
It's 103. Yes.
You're moving to London?
Yeah, well,
that's one of the reasons
we broke up as well. But yeah,
I'm supposed to be moving, obviously
like gigs and stuff.
And then I'll come back up here all the time
to make the money on clubs or whatever.
Mate, that's the touch, isn't it?
That's what Joe Lycett did.
He was down in London, got a place in London,
and then when he was up in Birmingham,
stayed at his parents',
and he basically did half and half.
Yeah, that's what I'm going to do this day.
It's a fucking treat.
The only thing that scares me about that for you,
and I don't want to piss on your chips,
every comic I know that lives in London who isn't from there is miserable.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, but I'm not a miserable person.
London will get you.
It fucking won't.
You can try.
It won't.
I think I'll be all right.
Because when I started Commodate,
I tried to live in London with my friend Tora
and it was two of us in a bedroom.
So it's two single beds and that was shit.
But I'll go there with like making all right money off comedy.
So I'll be able to do stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
It'll be different.
And I'm going to like,
I know that I'm only going to be there for a couple of years.
So I'm just going to have fun. Yeah, Manchester's there if you yeah when and if isn't it yeah so it's like Tory
who flyered for me when you flyered for me yeah so I met Josh I think had we met before I don't
think so we met when he flyered for me in 2017 like that year that I put like a big flyer in
teams together for that small room Josh was one of my
flyers oh funny it was uh when did I compare your first gig that was my that was my second gig that
was 2015 god almighty that feels like longer ago yeah so five years ago but um because do you
remember I didn't I I didn't know you had to have five minutes on the gong, so I had three minutes and then went to walk off,
and you was like, no, carry on, carry on.
I remember sometimes there's a compare where you've been doing it a bit
and then you compare new nights.
You see rough diamonds and it's the most fun.
The three acts that are most fun to watch
are the people who come down from Glasgow,
and they've been doing it a year and a half,
and they're decent.
Or they come up from London,
or they do a car share from Cardiff or something,
and you're like, wow, that act is ready to crack on
and move on the ranks.
And then there's the lunatics who are insane,
do not know what they're doing,
and just watching them be like,
it's fucking great.
But then also the people who come on,
don't really know what they're doing,
aren't sure what's happening,
and are fucking funny.
And you can tell,
I remember seeing you,
that was,
and you still do it now sometimes,
you're like,
are you alright? I'll fucking end you. do it now sometimes and you're like are you alright
I'll fucking end you
and it totally
took me back
like it's so funny
I hadn't seen anyone
do anything like that
my name's Josh
and then all of a sudden
like but I will
fucking end you
aggressive
I remember that year
when you flyered for me
because you really
made me laugh one day
because you know like
in Edinburgh
when obviously
the people who fly up for you,
for your show up there, tend to be other comics
or someone who just wants to make a bit of money
so they can be at the festival for a few weeks or whatever.
And you did the full run for me.
And one day, you know, when you get a little text from a flyer,
they're going, I'm not coming in today, I don't feel well.
And you're like, bollocks, what happened?
And you text me and said something like,
I'm not coming in today.
I got really drunk last night.
I've shagged some guy and I don't want to leave yet.
Yeah, it was a Brazilian guy.
Oh, listen.
I just loved the honesty of her text back.
I was like, yep.
I hadn't finished what I wanted.
Do you know what I mean?
I was getting...
I ain't got what I wanted.
Yeah, I was...
I love it.
You can't really bollock someone.
Oh, no, I loved it. The honesty of it. Yeah, fuck some guy and I want... I love it. You can't really bollock someone. Oh, no, I loved it.
The honesty of it.
Yeah, fuck some guy and I want to do it again.
It was so fit.
It was really...
I didn't deserve it.
Oh, it was great.
I didn't deserve it.
Thank you.
It was so gorgeous.
So much.
Was he good, though?
Because I always think sometimes the stunners aren't so
his face was minging
but his body was
insane
he had the best bum
I've ever seen
you're like me
thanks for tuning in
minging face
so I forgot about that
yeah
it was really really funny
that
it was really funny
I could imagine you being
quite good at flyering
I was
and then when you weren't banging
a brazilian guy yeah i was quite i think i was good at it and then when it got to the point where
it was like i like the year after i was like i don't want to do this anymore and then last edinburgh
i didn't have to fly her for the show that i was on so i was like now i'm never gonna do it again
but i was all right i'd just be like, ah!
I've done five Edinburgh's, and the only one I flied for was the last one in 2018.
I always fly for my own show.
Yeah, I think it was partly becoming mates with you,
and just I rang.
It was one of the weirder conversations of my professional career,
going, I'm going to ring a comic that has been doing this nine years less than me
and go, how do I need to sell this Edinburgh show?
And you were like, get out there, do your own team.
And I did, and it helped fill the room.
I didn't mind it.
I was in charge.
I wasn't paying out to a promoter.
I wasn't losing money because they should have been doing the flyer in.
I got out there, and so many of the people
just a bit older and like
I want to fill this room, I want to do a good job
and when they saw you out there
and you had a really nice poster
and you had some good credits like Comedians Comedian
Best MC, a Chortle Award
nomination, some good reviews
they were like, it really helped
the relationship between audience and
comic, I had my most fun
in the room
because people were
turning up going
yeah we like you
we met you
instead of you being
this faceless like
I'm too big for this
you'll have seen
some students doing it
for me
it helped
it definitely helps
like if you
have a way with them
do you know who else
was a great like
member of the team
that year
another comic
was Harry Staccini
Harry flied for me
that year as well.
And he's so affable. He just
woke up to big groups of people and he'd always
have a backpack on. And I think
he just looked like a lost
like, Eastern European
lad. He was going to go up and go, excuse me,
do you know how to find this place? So he was going
to people going, yeah, right. And they'd go, you okay
mate? And he'd be like, yeah, I just want to tell you about this show.
And he had such a, you couldn't say no to him.
He had like that last 20 minutes
when you're looking to fill the room, he got so many
more people in Harry.
Shout to Harry.
That year I
fired for Chris Washington's show
and then as soon as I finished that
I fired for yours. And then our show
went to about half ten.
While she had my room, there's an hour and a half
before me
so you didn't even
have to move really
did you
you just had to put
his flyers in your bag
and get my ones out
I had a little
five minute sick break
and then got back to it
brutal watching someone
fly her badly innit
and they're just like
they're working for an agency
they don't care
and they're just like
I'd rather that
than the fucking
like
knobheads
who just go too
far there was this stupid bitch across the road from where you did it oh it did me fucking i did
every every day i just hear her go kabam and i just wanted to go kabam and in the fucking face
i was like yeah she was always like ka-choopow. And I was like, get it by the bus.
She was a gobshite.
Yeah.
Kabam.
Yeah, she had like one of those, you know,
when you can look at someone and tell they stink?
Like one of those people.
Do you know what I mean?
I know.
Yeah, I sort of do.
I started.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
I smell it.
She was fucking ugly.
Yeah, it was fucking unbearable.
Pachow. Would she do that to me every day?
And I'd be like, you've to me every day and i'd be like
you've seen me every day you know i'm flying me on
but she'd do like with her legs like and it was just like what are you doing i don't even know
if you can make those noises when you're white yeah and she's just like in the street i'm not
taking a flyer that that's racially offensive.
Because all the,
I know a lot of black people are like,
Carl,
have we got any correspondence?
We have, yeah.
My camera's gone off,
so you can't see me,
but you can hear me.
That fucking camera.
This is from Lewis Watts.
I hope you're all keeping well.
My question is,
what celebrity death
had the most impact on you?
So any celebrities, Dad,
and it's actually like
you actually cared or...
Did that hit you hard?
Did you?
Did she die?
Do you want a minute?
Do you need a minute?
It's just weird to bring it up today.
I was thinking of us
on the way here.
Yeah.
We mentioned dead mums before
and you didn't seem bothered
but Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa
she's a celebrity though isn't she
she's not a celebrity is she
yeah she's celebrated
she's a famous person
I think you could cut
Carl
I think there's a difference
between celebrity and famous
though isn't there
she's an icon
yeah
stick her on the wall
another one of me female icons
yeah
whoever we've just been sent Kevin Webster we would really like someone She's an icon. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Stick her on the wall. Another one of me female icons. Yeah.
We've just been sent Kevin Webster.
We would really like someone to send a postcard.
A signed Mona Lisa picture.
Hello, lids.
Fucking rats.
When did she die?
Old, were you?
Oh, mate.
Time blurs when you're so gutted about something.
She was such a huge part of your life at this point as well I think she died before I was born
No, no, you were alive
You were only five years of age
I was five?
Yeah
In the 90s?
97, she died
She had such a, like, posthumously
She had such an effect on my life
I found out about it after that
And then I was upset that she died
Yeah, but have you heard about the conspiracy
about Mother Teresa?
What is it?
That she's still alive.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, and she was in Bewitched.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, no, that's a true conspiracy.
That's why that song starts with
some people say I look like my dad.
The father.
So, Adams' Mother Teresa,
Dan and he...
No, it's actually Alan Rickman
do you know
five years today
five years today
I reckon it actually was
oh no
it was Kobe
it actually was Kobe
and I'm not a basketball fan
but it was just
like it was the way
he died and his daughter
going with him
it was Kobe
spun me head
it was horrible
the daughter
yeah
in the middle of a shit year
that was a bit much
wasn't it
yeah Kobe it was and I don't know why I remember talking to you about it it's a daughter it's a bit yeah in the middle of a shit year that was a bit much wasn't it yeah
yeah
Kobe
it was
and I don't know why
I remember talking to you about it
yeah
saying like
this has affected me in a way
that I can't really explain
because I'm not
I wasn't a fan of his at all
and also the fact that his daughter died as well
it was a daughter
but that was the
maybe yeah
and mine's
if I'm being honest
mine's
you what
who
Kirsty McCall yeah that's the name yeah she died in a speedboat If I'm being honest, mine's... You what? Who?
Kirstie McCall.
Yeah, that's her name.
Yeah?
She died in a speedboat.
No one will know that.
Did the Capella chop an head off?
The Capella?
The Capella.
Fabio Capella. What's he called?
The Capella.
The Capella.
Mine was one of the Chuckle Brothers,
but it's not quite...
Which one of the Chuckle Brothers is that?
Yeah, Barry, really. I just needed to remember which chuckle brother it was but it's
really cut me deep it's cut me deep so i feel like with like a good bit of makeup you could
replace him as a member of the chuckle brothers yeah like it wouldn't take more than an hour in
in the one who's alive horrible carl the one's Alive is related to those people in Blackpool from Gogglebox.
I saw that on the internet the other day.
Oh, is it?
Pub quiz?
Oh, the one that lives in...
They live in the caravan.
Pub quiz?
No, erm...
When's that come up in the Black Horse?
It's the brother and sister, innit?
Yeah, the brother and sister from Gogglebox.
They're younger.
They're younger.
They're younger.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know Gogglebox is weirdly fucking quite good television.
It's great.
Is his second name Chuckle?
Barry Chuckle.
Yeah.
It is.
It is Chuckle, yeah.
Yeah.
Honours birthday certificate.
Paul Chuckle.
Paul and Barry Chuckle.
Just so happens that's a funny way they went into coffee. Mother Teresa. Or certificate. Paul Chuckle. Paul and Barry Chuckle. Just so I know, that's a funny way
they went into coffee.
Mother Teresa,
or Kobe,
Barry Chuckle.
Yeah,
I just through grief
couldn't remember
specifically which one.
Yeah,
of course.
Do you know why,
because someone that we follow
on the Have A Word Twitter account
at Have A Word Pod,
retweets a lot of stuff
from fucking Paul Chuckle.
It just comes up occasionally.
I'm like,
why am I seeing
Barry Chuckle memoriams?
Stop making me give a shit about Barry Chuckle.
Genuinely, is there a celebrity that's got to hear?
Because it's obviously not.
I think it's funnier saying Barry Chuckle than Kobe.
So, you know, I went with Kobe.
I went with Barry Chuckle rather than the, yeah, Kobe because his daughter died.
Great question.
I want to answer the question.
It's Alan Rickman for me.
Yeah. Because he was part of my formative years with Harry Potter.
Alan Rickman.
He's my favourite character.
I mean, if we're really doing it, it's Robin Williams.
Oh, yeah.
That was horrible.
Mine's Carolina Hearn.
What a way to go, though.
Carolina Hearn.
Oh, yeah, that was a body.
Carolina Hearn from Rolf Hamelin.
I thought you meant Caroline Flack for the second, then,
which wasn't...
Carolina Hearn's death
will always be
now attributed
to the
TV warm up
where they made me
go on
to do TV warm up
after playing
the bit
from the Royal Family
where
Ricky Tomlinson
like sort of
talks to her
when she's having a baby
after the baby
there's that
there's that really hot
scene
yeah so after Carolina Hearn died
I was doing warm up
at Salford
for the BBC
for the BBC showcase
the Salford showcase
and you had to go on
after that
second night
I've got
Johnny Vegas
Peter Kay
in the building
Johnny Vegas
and his
Agent Bev
absolute pair of
fucking legends
in the audience
pressure's on
do you think? The night
before, I had Russ Abbott,
who was like a childhood hero of mine,
just a very pressurised,
you're the TV warm-up guy, no one gives a
fuck about you, all these famous people
that you care about are in the audience
and we're going to undermine you every step.
Carolina Hearn had died eight months
before, and they were like, Dan,
didn't tell me in the book-in, just, Dan, we're going to do a little tribute to Carolina Hearn had died eight months before, and they were like, Dan, didn't tell me in the booking,
just, Dan, we're going to do a little tribute to Carolina Hearn.
The director was going to come on and speak about her,
because obviously it's so important.
This is not just BBC, this is Northern BBC.
She's so attached to that.
They played the clip, spoke about her, everyone's down,
then they played the clip, tearjerker,
then they electronically the clip, tearjerker,
then they electronically closed the curtain.
They didn't want anyone to go on after that because it'd be too sad.
And they asked me to walk out
at the same speed as the curtain
to start the TV warm-up.
There was no break.
They literally played the most tearjerking bit
of the Royal Family.
The whole crowd is like,
even Johnny Vegas looks sad,
and then fucking Numbnuts has to time his walk with the curtain.
I went, you all right?
I'm the warm-up guy.
Everyone's like...
Yeah, that was tough.
That's a hard gig.
Yeah, I just went, that was really moving.
And this isn't going to be easy, but my job is the TV warm-up guy.
So we're going to crack on now.
Dry your eyes.
I just had to try and make it funny.
Forking hell.
Have you ever met someone famous and been overwhelmed?
No, no.
No.
Like, I've got a little bit starstruck, but not like, ah!
I cried.
With who?
Saran Jones.
Saran Jones from Coronation Street and The Bill.
Well, Scott and Bailey, which is my Game of Thrones.
Have you not seen Scott and Bailey? Oh, what's the fancy Saran Jones?
What have we just watched?
Gentleman Jack.
Yeah.
Last year. Oh, my God, that watched? Gentleman Jack, last year.
Oh my God, that's so good.
She's amazing, Saran Jones.
She's one of the best people that's ever lived, I think.
One of the best people.
So where did you meet her?
Not actress.
So I was working as one of those charity muggers in the street,
just trying to get people.
How old were you?
Nine.
It's fucking real.
I was trying to get people to sign up you? nine it's fucking real I was trying to sign
get people to sign up
to this charity
and you get told
what was the charity?
oh it was
dead hard sell
it was like
a ten pound minimum
about
for deaf kids
who's gonna
fucking put money
in for that
it was well hard
anyway
what?
deaf kids just doesn't
do the metrics
does it not?
was your pitch
falling on deaf ears?
oh my god everyone
one two three call me oh that literally dishonored his memory
but yes i was doing the fundraising you're pleased with it You're pleasing in that one? Sorry, Josh. Don't be daft.
So I was doing the fundraising
and you get told to fuck off all the time,
so just whatever.
And then I just turned around,
automatically started doing the speech
and she was there and I just froze
and didn't say anything.
And she looked at me like...
And just like walked off.
And then I dropped my clipboard,
ran in the Arndale Centre,
went in the cubicle and cried.
Oh my God.
Because I was just like,
so overwhelmed.
Didn't you say hello to her?
No, I couldn't.
There's some people,
I'm not very good under pressure.
And if there's some celebrities,
like if Adele walked in this room,
I'd just kill myself.
I couldn't,
I couldn't,
I couldn't speak to her. You couldn't speak to Adele? No. room, I'd just kill myself. I couldn't speak to her.
You couldn't speak to Adele?
No.
Why?
I'd fucking...
I'd sing for Adele Meeks.
She's so normal, though.
Never mind, I'll find...
I'd be too like...
I'd just like her too much that I'd just...
I couldn't...
In case it's bad, it'd ruin the experience.
Did you see that thing with Adele where they got some Adele...
Lookalikes.
Lookalikes.
I've watched it so many times.
They were like Adele tribute acts,
and then they put the prosthetic makeup on Adele,
and then made her pretend to be an Adele tribute act.
But I was quite...
And then she went on at the end, and it was great.
The six of them were all like...
I'm going to start going, hang on, is that...
Is that her though?
That's actually her
she does come off
as pretty fucking sound Adele
doesn't she
no she does
I was a bit pissed off
with those six though
because I was like
fucking hell
you're a bit underwhelmed
if it was me
I would have been like
striking
like oh
I don't deserve it
but they were just like
oh that's Adele
oh god
you're supposed to be fans
they didn't they looked like they didn't give aiddal I'm like you're supposed to be fans they didn't
they didn't give a fucking shit
I was quite underwhelmed with their reaction
well they didn't kill themselves
is there anyone you'd have that sort of reaction with
like someone famous
oh I don't who would really
who would get you
is it someone from comedy
or have I been sort of
have we done enough gigs to know how not to act like a bellend
in front of famous comics?
I don't think there's a comic now.
Comedy doesn't...
Like, because comedy, because you do it and you know the steps
and it's not as, like, fascinating.
But I don't know nothing about music.
Do you know what I mean?
Denzel Washington.
Be a mad one, wouldn't he?
Yeah.
Ooh, Tom Hanks.
Yeah, that level of like,
they have been like star of screen and everything
from like...
Eats kids.
The time...
I literally do not want to hear
your stupid cunting conspiracies
about Tom fucking Hanks.
Tom Hanks eats children.
Oh, for the love of God.
Why would he do that?
Josh, do you want to do a podcast with me?
Can I come to London with you?
I'll bring my arm for the couch.
He does.
He took a picture of the pavement and put it on Instagram,
and that's a sign to the nonce community
that he wants a new kid sent into Greece.
He's a fucking dum-dum. Greece he's a fucking dum-dum
this guy's a fucking dum-dum
yeah Tom
I think someone like Tom Hanks, Denzel
like if you met Brad Pitt
Notting Hill one of my favourite films
if you met Brad Pitt you would be like
alright Brad how you doing mate
I think it would make you be like don't be a dick
that's why I'd freak out
not that I'm like oh my god they're so famous in my head i'm like don't say something stupid don't say something stupid
don't say so that in my dreams i don't wake up like oh god i can't believe i said that in front
of fucking brad pitt i i don't have that i just cry in front of them if it was someone i'm like
but but again i'll be more saran jones to me is more impressive than Brad Pitt
I think she's one of the
best actors we've got
do you know what I mean
right
so
and she went
she went to my college
that's why
how would you be
with Jürgen
I
I think I'd be fine
bit excited though
yeah I'd be like
fucking hell Jürgen
like that
you're so normal
isn't he though
yeah
he's really normal he's not Hollywood is he like Mourinho's more Hollywood who's fucking hell, Jürgen. Like that. He's so normal, isn't he, though? Yeah. He's really normal.
He's not Hollywood, is he?
Like, Mourinho's more Hollywood.
Who's Jürgen?
Jürgen Klopp is the manager of Liverpool Football Club.
Ah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, it seems sort of feasible for that to happen.
Denzel Washington seems so unfeasible.
Do you know what I mean?
Well, when you're in the Albert Hall,
when Adam did the Bill Bear,
not Walmart support
support
Ryan Reynolds was watching
yeah Ryan Reynolds
I've seen me do Sander
we can see him up the top
which is fucking insane
and someone from
Van Wilder was in
Nike
yeah
I love that film
you've done stand up
in front of Ryan Reynolds
yeah
look at you
that's so good
Josh I'm not sure
you're getting involved
in comedy for the right reason
off the curb
where do you see yourself
performing for
Saran Jones
and Miami Nuggets
how would you react
if you were on stage
at like the Frog
and you just like
you look like
you're two minutes in
three minutes in
you're smashing it
you're just ripping
and you just glance over
and on like a
a hen do
Saran Jones Saran Jones
Saran Jones
oh
Frog
obviously
being from Manchester
it's such a good club
I won't give a shit
about the rest of
the 17 minutes on stage
I'd be like
Saran
I'd be like
fuck this gig
fuck all you
who paid your money
I'm sitting with
Saran Jones
and then I'll get there
and then I'll just cry
and ruin a night.
Ryan Reynolds has just bought
shares in Wrexham.
Yeah, he's now a...
If they're coming to visit Wrexham,
they're not staying in Wrexham.
Which town that's very picturesque
and has got some lovely hotels
and Americans love
is 20 minutes up the road?
Chester.
Chester's right there.
Liverpool, Manchester,
only an hour,
hour and a bit
from Wrexham.
I reckon there is a chance
Ryan Reynolds might be
knocking about
at Alexander's.
I don't know.
Get Ryan Reynolds
on the pod.
That'd be good, wouldn't it?
Get Van Wilder on.
Yeah.
Did you wank off a duck?
Did you really wank off a duck?
Can you get Serrana?
We're working on
getting Michael Lavelle on.
You know, Kevin Webster.
Okay.
That'd be good. I do a pretty good Kevin Webster impression
I've heard it
Do you know if
If ever he comes up with
A Kevin Webster based conspiracy
I'm out
I'm just dropping them
I'm going to un-fucking screw the mic and drop it and walk
Maybe he is Kevin Webster.
That's the conspiracy.
My dad, Kevin Webster, never been in the same room.
Imagine Ryan Reynolds coming on and you being like, hey!
Getting his fucking videos up on YouTube.
No, it is good.
Listen, Ryan.
Did you see Ryan in the audience?
Was he like that? I saw him. He's seen him in one. Listen, Ryan. Did you see Ryan in the audience? Was he laughing?
I saw him.
He's seen him in one of the
like VIP boxes.
Did he look like
did he understand anything?
I couldn't hear
his inner monologue
when he was
He was
but he's very expressive
as an actor.
Oh, was he laughing?
Yeah.
Oh.
It was quite dark
but I saw him like
in the doorway
talking to someone like god knows who it's talking and i text him i don't know if you already knew
yeah i think you already know carl's carl's best mate is doing the biggest gig of his career so
far and carl's watching ryan reynolds watch his best mate i went i paid good money to watch a
drag queen american one that i'm obsessed with. I was dead excited for ages,
but Kate Beckinsale was in the audience,
so I watched Kate Beckinsale watch the show instead of watching it.
Yeah.
But it was stunning.
I've never seen someone...
When you go and see a drag queen, what do they do?
Well, loads of them do different stuff.
Some of them do comedy.
This one was more...
Well, she was hosting um
porn idol which is a big show it's like a strip show and she was hosting it but she she's i don't
know she does like dancing and splits and stuff she's good but loads of them do different shit
yeah there's like yeah it's comedy singing is a big thing, isn't it? Yeah. I can't think of another thing that drag queens do.
They'll do your tax return.
Lip sync and stuff.
Right.
So the lip sync to songs.
But it's good.
But my favourite ones do comedy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Boss, have we got any other questions?
Yeah, this is from Sean Taylor.
You have five minutes to hide a paper clip anywhere in your house.
A detective then comes in
and has 24 hours to find it.
If he doesn't get it, you get 50 grand.
Where are you hiding the paper clip?
That's a fucking unbelievably good question.
Is that Art Sharnie?
That's Sharnie, yeah.
Big Sharnie, yeah.
Fucking Hall of Fame Sharnie.
Can I put it up my arse?
No, it needs to be in your house.
I'll stay in my arse the whole time.
Did you say the same thing?
Well, I'm guessing the detective will think it's up your arse.
I don't think detectives can just go,
right, bend over.
We've got a warrant for what?
Your arse.
Let's say it can't be on your person,
otherwise you'd just swallow it, wouldn't you?
Can I put it in his pocket?
Oh, you are clever.
Yeah, but how are you doing that?
Do you mean...
As he comes in,
just go, let me pat you down,
make sure you're not wearing a wire.
You're going to pat him down.
I've got a warrant.
You're not going to go in his pocket
to find his phone or chew his nothing over the 24 hours?
I'll be able to touch that my paper clip, that's yours.
You can't hide it up your arse or in the detective's pocket. You can't hide it in your ass or in the detective's pocket.
You have to hide it.
I'd put it in a piece of fruit in the fridge.
Okay.
Oh, God, you don't want to forget that.
That's there.
I don't eat fruit.
He hasn't got fruit in his fridge.
That would be the weirdest thing.
I don't even think you keep a lot of fruit in the fridge.
I keep all your fruit in the fridge
I do anyway
I've got a fruit bowl
Maverick
I tie it to a piece of string
And then flush it down the toilet
Right
And then tie the string to the underside of the
Yeah
The underside of the toilet
And if he checked the toilet
And said why is there a piece of string
Going round the u-bend in your toilet
No it's not a string
It's like thin wire
Oh thin wire
I'm sorry Ned
Shut up me arse.
Can you open up the paper?
You can do it, won't you?
So I'd open it up and stick it in between the ridges of a toilet roll.
Stick it in a bog roll.
I feel like he's going to find that.
All right.
Right.
You're not going to beat Adam's up my arse.
Find me a better place than up my arse.
In his pocket, apparently.
Not my pocket.
No, his.
In a banana.
As well, if the police...
This is for murder.
If I did murder someone, my stepdad's got OCD,
so no detective team will find shit once he's finished cleaning it.
Right, real OCD.
We were talking about this in the first section.
There's been a lot of beautiful symmetry.
Yeah.
Very nicely done.
Has he got proper OCD?
Yeah, like proper clean.
Everything's got to be ridiculous.
Diagnosed by a doctor?
No, he won't go, but we know.
What are you talking about how clean the doctor's surgery is?
When you wash your hands
you've got to like
spray the sink out
and dry it out
when you have a bath
you've got
you have baths
instead of showers
because of condensation
it's like
right
it's proper
I can't remember
the last time I cleaned the sink
I
there is a fine line
isn't there
where because
I love it
having a tidy house
I love it
but living with someone with OCD I shared a tidy house i love it but living with
someone with ocd i shared a house with barry and it was hard work yeah it's just like everything
just disappeared or got fucking thrown out or putting it and it just it looked like we just
moved in every day for the two years we lived my mum's house is like a show house but i've got used
to it now i kind of like it i can't stand mess now i've kind of gone it. I can't stand mess now. I've kind of gone a bit that way. Oh, I've lived with some grubby
motherfuckers.
I'd hide it
in the keyhole
on the front door because if he's not
leaving in 24 hours, he wouldn't look.
Yeah.
There was a weird pause there, wasn't there?
There was a weird pause.
There was a weird pause. Have we got
that we could edit out but we're not going to.
No.
We've got all the real shit. Just for you and me,
Adam. Just for you and me.
We've got a have a word,
but I pulled one up, but then we
talked about
your ex. But I actually think
you, this is quite good because
because you're quite good
with your exes
maybe you could give
some good advice
should we do this
yeah go on
press the button
what a hummer that guy
oh god yeah
I don't know if I can say it
it makes me look like
a bad person
everything does
you're awful
you're on a podcast
with us too
a shot on his dick
for revenge
oh yeah yeah yeah
Josh
when do you come back
on this podcast
I am not joking
you have been
one of my favourite
guests for a while
thanks mate
you have been
this is what
we've been doing
this a while
we worked out
did Harry Robinson
the goat
I think this is 149
this is 149
it's 150
sorry we're including the patron
all you want
is someone that can talk
and who is funny
but what we know is
sometimes it's just about
throwing some stuff out there
that's all it is
and then one of you
runs with it
or you don't
or you throw something else out
you have been
an absolute
throwing machine
it's been like
watching a fucking
Hall of Fame podcast
just come on like,
yeah, fucking chopped my finger off,
corrupted, I've shat on a dick,
I worked in a chip meet illegally,
there's balls sailing over the...
Oh, mate, you shat on his dick for revenge.
Does that not happen a lot anyway?
No.
See, this is why it stresses me out
when straight people talk about anal
because you don't know what you're doing
and you've got no business being there.
Because it pisses me off.
Looking for paper clips.
No, when I...
See, this is how I got away with it.
Because if I would get anally penetrated,
I'd douche everything.
It's like fucking...
Do you remember Kim and Aga?
Like, they'd be now cleaning me fucking...
I'd douche me big steps.
Have you ever douched your bumhole?
Yeah.
Yeah, I have as well.
Why?
Because I was getting a finger up there.
What?
What?
Oh, like medically?
No.
Isn't a finger more of a like...
A sexy little poke while I was getting a blowy?
Hang on, love.
Put your finger away.
I'll give you the nail clippers.
Give me the douche.
She didn't want to get poo on her finger.
I think that's fair enough.
Sexy.
Fair enough.
I'll just go in the bathroom.
I'll get the water high.
I'll get low.
Yeah.
See, this is why I would never go near a straight guy
because like
I can't go near
an asshole
if it's not been douched
like I'm sorry
I've just
if not a bush
took a trial
like I won't
it's a good move
for life though
don't go near an asshole
unless it's been douched
no yeah I wouldn't
what Steve Shantoski
is lying about it
like
like be playing
a fucking game
of kaplunk
absolute nightmare so you need it all prepped yeah lying about it. Like, be playing a fucking game of Kaplunk.
Absolute nightmare.
So you need it all prepped.
Yeah.
Right.
But that's what porn stars do, innit?
Porn stars,
they don't eat
for like,
12 hours before,
they douche,
it's all clean.
I take supplements,
fibre supplements,
so like,
Firm it up.
So everything's together,
quick access out,
it's done. That's a bit disgusting, but a bit disgusting but this time you didn't douche no so right can i give a backstory because i look like a dickhead
of a dog right i am can i just say this isn't the have a word and we might not be doing the
you know you've just got this feeling that this might be headlining the
so basically i was seeing this guy for ages on and off and he wasn't treating me very well adam
he was a bit mean actually well he wasn't mean but he was a dick anyway he was more i was well
more into him than he was me and i think he knew it and he was just always in and out of my life and i thought i've had enough of this i need to get him out my life proper so one day he
said i'm back in manchester can i stay at yours and i was like yeah so i spent the day i feel
sweaty talking about it i spent the day like drinking cans of fosters and stuff and and then and what drinking cans of fosters and loads of
like horrible food and then what did you eat um i i had like chips just loads of like carbs and
like but i had a good few cans of fosters and then why is fosters like every gay man knows
but um so basically then he came round, we were naked,
and he was like, have you douched?
And I said, yes.
And then he started, and yeah, I shot on his dick for the revenge.
Was it a big, runny one?
It was like a pebble dash.
Oh, God, I'm so sorry, but I'm not sorry.
I, yeah, and do you know what? Oh my God, I'm so sorry, but I'm not sorry.
Yeah, and do you know what?
I just wanted to scare him, mentally, and I think I did.
But it was awful because he was like,
obviously like, what the fuck is going on?
And I had to pretend that it was an accident.
So I was like, oh, sorry.
Do you know what the funniest bit is is the idea
that several hours
before
you're like
angrily eating
a chicken tikka
why didn't you
just text him
and say
don't come round
that's more of a
it isn't Wes
that's more of a
sign that you
want to be with him
and shitting all over him
yeah but he wants
to scar him
he said
just going
please don't come round I don't think he's getting up well he'll be fucking devastated for life there shitting all over him. Yeah, but he wants to scar him, he said. Just going, please don't come round.
I don't think he's getting up.
Ah, well, he'll be fucking devastated for life there,
shitting all over someone.
He didn't treat me very well, and I just thought,
do you know what?
I'm going to shit on your dick.
I'm going to shit on your dick, and I did.
I bummed a woman once, and she shit the bed.
Thanks for listening.
Press the button.
Turn it off.
Thanks for listening.
Is this the lockdown locking already?
Did she know she was going to get bummed?
Did she, Adam?
Let's hope she did.
Because that's a hot button topic recently.
She asked.
She was like, fuck me in the ass.
So was she prepared?
Well, she obviously wasn't prepared for it.
No, she didn't.
Can I ask, love?
Have you had any fosters recently?
Yeah.
We were getting into it and she said,
I want you to fuck me in the ass, so I did.
And then she pooed the bed.
After we'd finished.
Jordan, not after.
At least I did it on purpose.
Yeah.
Maybe she did.
Yeah, maybe she did.
Fucking weird.
Dirty protest.
Was it the Mother Teresa?
Would you shag Mother Teresa if she was still alive?
No, she's too much of a hero to you.
Has she ever been
Goosed
I'd fuck Barry
Chockel
Wanda Teresa
Was she celibate
Or is she
I'm gonna google that
Oh it's a conspiracy that
What
What does
Goosed mean
Shagged
Never heard that
I think it's like a
Scoutism
Oh right
Is it
Do you know what
Goosed means
Yeah
Yeah
I mean sometimes
I think Goosed means
Knackered.
She was, yeah.
Oh, it was absolutely goosed.
She was celibate.
She was celibate.
I want me to go, yeah.
Yeah, she got fucked.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
