Every day.

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. Oh, Carl, you're looking good.
No, what happens is,
sometimes my hair looks silly in the...
So you were having a little check?
Oh, I've seen him do it.
I've done it.
I've never seen Carl do it.
He's a fucking poser, you know.
I'm not.
I just don't want my hair to look shit in front of fucking tens of thousands of people.
He'll make us take like 300 photos,
because he looks a bit weird.
You know, like a pre-menstrual...
No.
Adam, can you tell the truth please
I'm telling the truth
like the most annoying
hen night in the nightclub
what he's doing here is
he's talking about himself
I'm putting my name in it
I'm absolutely not
I do it all the time
you're like
oh no my hair looks stupid on that
I'm not smiling
right on that
my eyes are closed
you're joking there aren't you
I'm absolutely not
I'm not
no he's not
how many times
how many times am I sober for pictures and you're in venus exactly so i
wouldn't be bothered would i remember how many times do i do a little instagram story and you're
like show me no do that again and you think yeah because yeah because most of the time i'm sitting
there like fucking scratching my ass or something so you you just do instagram stories without going live i'm gonna do instagram stories
and i'll just do a boomerang you know content is king so i'll like go from the screen to carl and
he'll go show me that and he'll go oh no and he fixes it and he'll be like go do it again
yeah so if you ever enjoy my instagram stories with him it's probably take three because he's
a fucking bitch you know what though carl you look good mate i just didn't know you had that streak of vanity no i just sometimes my hair looks shit in the fucking
in the air sometimes it's just one hair out of place and does me i didn't for weeks it's brutal
when you look like me when you and you people like god you're so vain you're like it's not that with
stand up it's something in your head when you're going in front of 300 people and they don't know
you and you want them to like you you're just like checking that you don't look like a fucking moron well you're like
oh god what are you used to this hang on i've got to say this so do you know um obviously there's a
lot of my stand-up on hot water's uh youtube channel and a lot of it is like comparing with
and i used to have agreement with them if i've done compared and don't even tell me that it's
going out just put the clip out i'll share it it fine. And you can tell how happy I am in my life by the clips because there's some where I've
got my nice jacket on, my hair's done.
I've had a shave and stuff.
And there's some where I've got a hoodie on with curry stains, long hair that's not fixed.
And I'm just like, what the fuck do you do, lad?
Even in the life of this podcast, there's times you've looked like,
you know, one of those homeless people that look a bit bloated,
where you're like, how are you bloated?
Like, what's happened?
Have you got an infection from...
You're saying he looks like a fat homeless man?
Just, there's been a couple of points
in the middle of that lockdown.
I just clocked the videos,
and then if you look at him now,
he's looking all sharp,
and he's got his fucking Jimmy Neutron quiff.
Looks amazing. It is a big giveaway
do you know what he used to do
he used to have the worst
habit on stage
I think you've stopped it
no
he used to finger his
belly button
do you know that
I mean
no
for the first two years
it sounds bad
has anybody ever noticed
has anybody ever noticed how Has anybody ever noticed?
How do you say that?
Every single...
It must have been like a nervous thing.
Sometimes you don't know if you're MCing,
but you don't do it if you're doing a set.
But yeah, it's like a comfort thing for you
and you won't even know.
That's really fucking weird.
Because I always itch me when I'm watching the telly.
If I'm on the couch, I'll just be like having a little...
That's what you do on stage
I mean I'll do it like that
I mean
do you still fit?
yeah
what's the point of scratching
if you're not going to sniff
there's always
no judgement but still
genuine question
if you scratch your gooch
do you have a
do you check
do you know
I'm a pipe smoker
come on
you've answered the question
with a pause
I'm going to plead I mean everyone does I'm going to plead the motherfucking fear Come on. You've answered the question with a pause.
I'm going to plead the motherfucking fear.
But you know everybody like a little bit of scratch and sniff.
Come on, brother.
Come on.
Don't lie to me now.
Love a bit of scratch and sniff.
That's how you check if you're all right.
Holy shit.
That smells like strawberries.
I'm either really healthy or I'm dying. It smells like brine.
What? It smells like brine what smells like brine
you're an horrible man
you need to check yourself
in the camera again
because you've gone wrong
it smells like pork scratchings
doesn't it
Laura's belly's popped
like
she's so pregnant now
halfway through
that her belly button's gone
oh fuck this
and it's like
it's just popped
with the pressure
also
the pressure on her
the pressure also the pressure on her the pressure we had this amazing moment
where she was just like she was getting ready this morning and she had like her knickers on
she was like this feels really weird to say this but my uh my fanny's gone really bulbous
like all the weight of the baby and the pregnancy is sort of bearing down on her vagine,
and she's got bulbous clunge.
Bulbous clunge?
It's a medical term.
You can look it up.
Bulbous clunge?
She's got a fat...
Sounds like an Etonian.
She's got a fat pum-pum, and it's so funny.
She was like, honestly, feel it.
It's amazing.
I can see fumes coming off your pum-pum!
Oh, my gosh.
She let me have a little press and yeah.
It was honestly like she's in heat.
I mean, she's not, she's definitely pregnant.
And it's just like a really funny moment.
Just like having a little tap of your wife's vagina.
She's going, it is, isn't it?
It's big, isn't it?
I was like, yes, babe.
You've got a big pregnant fanny.
Hang on.
Can you just for the non-acquainted,
because I've never seen a swollen fanny before.
You've never lived, child.
I'm just wondering, could you describe the difference
between a normal pussy and a...
Oh, no, no.
It's not a pussy, is it?
Just be careful, because it's a public episode.
And she does watch, and she will hunt you down
and kill you with a fat pom-pom.
Okay.
How?
It's what i said worse
than what you've said you said she's got a bulbous clunge yeah i suppose so why is that not worse
than pussy pussy's sexual you know because i you know married her okay um she's got an inflamed
vajayjay yeah there you go that seems aggressive. It just looks like it's taken on water.
Like a squirrel with two nuts.
It looks a bit bloated.
It looks like it's...
That's really...
It's like your knee
the day after you've been
for a run.
Yeah.
There's a little bit
of that going on.
It's really funny.
Check my pom-pom.
Is it big?
Yeah, baby,
got a big pom-pom.
You know it.
Do you know the poem?
Go on.
I know.
Do you know the poem
that starts
smiling is infectious,
you catch it like the flu?
Do you know that poem?
No.
Do you know it?
No.
Right.
If you're getting into
poetry
as well as rap battles,
it's going to be
No, no, no, no
You're going to enjoy this
Finn, just one sec
I know you're editing
Do you know that poem that I was referencing?
Let me read it out
Because I guarantee
Someone who's listening
Before you read it out
Where have you
Where's this
Where have you come across this?
It will become clear
Okay
So here's the poem
You might recognise it
I got sent a pipe by the way
Smiling is infectious.
You catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.
I walked around the corner
and someone saw my grin.
When he smiled,
I realised I'd passed it on to him.
I thought about the smile
and then realised it's worth.
A single smile like mine
could travel round the earth.
So if you feel a smile begin,
don't leave it undetected.
Let's start an epidemic
and get the world infected.
Well,
it's an epidemic,
one continent though.
Yeah.
I don't think we need to go into the semantics.
Oh yeah,
pandemic.
All right.
So that poem was written by Spike Milligan.
Really?
And up until last year,
I thought I wrote it.
What? What?
What?
Please.
How mental are you?
So, when I was a kid, I wrote a few poems, right?
Go on.
Oh, yes.
I can't wait for this.
Go on.
Oh, yes.
I can't wait for this.
Sold a few fucking shit, the dead dabs.
I was a fucking poet laureate of the Cindy path.
I don't want no more.
I don't want no more.
I am on the floor.
You are being a meanie.
I am so excited for this.
I'm old, were you?
You silly cunt.
You silly cunt. silly cunt Oh god
Oh god
You know it's fun if Adam's crying laughing
No it's not even
It's not even that good
So I wrote two
Right both published
Shut up
I'm not messing
Published
Bullshit fellas down there Fucking beautiful Shut up, Ian. I'm not messing. Publicity.
The bullshit fella's down there. Fucking beautiful.
You're not going to need it.
Large pum-pum wife has moved the bullshit bell.
Go on.
Right.
So, I wrote one of them in the summer between year four and year five.
Oh, it's a big summer.
Right.
I wrote the other one in year six.
So, in year six, our entire class was invited
to write, to come up with a poem
and they were being submitted
into this national competition to go into a book
of school children's poetry and mine got selected.
And I can't remember what mine was
and I've got a confabulated memory, which is
that I wrote that Spike Milligan poem.
I thought that's the one I wrote
and it went into the book. So that's where that
came from. But I did write a published poem and the one in wrote and it went into the book. So that's where that come from. Yeah.
But I did write a published poem and the one in the summer between year four and year five,
I wrote a limerick that was published in the Beano.
Really?
Go on.
In the Beano.
What was the limerick?
I do know it as well because I remembered it yesterday.
It was, I once had a brother called Jack who once got stuck in a sack. He couldn't get out, so he
let out a shout, and now he's got a bad back.
Bino's not doing so well these days.
That's fucking dreadful. I'm starting to
put it together. I was in year four, or
going into year five, and on the
first day of year five,
Mr Scully,
my year five teacher, who's from Warsawaw big warsaw fan bad breath he uh
really painting the picture the first thing he did on the first day of year five he went to have
we got a mr adam rowan this class and i was like yeah and he said you want to stand up i stood up
and he went i believe you're a poet and I had no idea what he was talking about.
And I was like, what do you mean?
He went, you had a poem published in the B&O,
and I'd just like to give you the opportunity to read it to the class.
This was the first minute of year five.
And I had to stand there.
He gave me the B&O because he had a copy.
And I had to stand there and go,
once I had a really cool jacket, once I was stuck in a sack,
couldn't get out of the sack, now he's got a bad back.
And I went, sir, how do you get that? And he goes, oh, I've read the B&O since I was a child cool jacket once I was stuck in the sack couldn't get out of the shack and I was going bye bye and I went to say how do you get that
and he goes
oh I've read the
B&O since I was a
child
pretty sure he was
a paedophile
how when you
finished the limerick
did it
how was the
response in the
room
this is Adam's
cool for the
whole of year five
how did you get
through the start
of your life
because you went
from a poet
into chess club how have you ended up how have you get through the start of your life because you went from a poet into chess club
how have you ended up the cool guy that you've ended up
so what where did you come across that that poem that one i think we got read i think maybe we got
read that in like year six and i've sort of confused being read that with writing it but where did you just come across it this where is it why is it popped back in your head oh yesterday
i was uh in bed and i uh i was like i started reading poetry to people i was like smooth operator
like brave driving me power
go on and I went
go on
when a relationship
is new enough
that she doesn't go
shut the fuck up
that's not yours
that's Spike Mulligan's
and I said
oh yeah
and she knew
no
she did know the poem
and at first
you thought it was that good
last year
I was telling someone else
about
someone
like for some reason
I was talking about poetry
with someone last year and I was like I else about... For some reason, I was talking about poetry with someone last year,
and I was like, I wrote a poem.
It was about smiling.
And I remembered the first couple of verses of that,
not all the way to the end, about, like, let's get the world infected.
I remembered smiling was infectious.
You catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me, I started smiling too.
Passed around the corner.
Someone caught me grin.
And before long, I realised I passed it on to him.
I remembered that.
And the person I was telling
this is the poem
I wrote
looked at me
and was like
no that's not yours
that's a very famous poem
about smiling
it's basically
a little
like
it's similar to comedy
isn't it
when you're like
yeah I'm pretty sure
I've had a really good idea
and then someone goes
nah
nah you've not
you've watched something
and forgotten about it
I was listening to Dr. Dre before
And I thought
I'd written
Forgot about Dre
Did you?
Yeah
Is that because you forgot about Dre?
I forgot that
Did you go to a bit of a cooler school than
Yeah
Yeah
So going from year four to year five
I had a rap phase
You had a rap phase
Yeah
And what's the first lyric of that rap song that you wrote?
Informer.
It's still Dre Day.
Still Dre Day something.
Oh, okay, good.
All right, you didn't write all of it then.
Bars.
A-K something.
Famously, Carl has picked one of the hip-hop songs
that drops the N-word very, very quickly.
So it's a really good one. And Carl, you thought you'd written it but how did that go it's still dre day sir were you like creative in school
right and did you do any writing or drawing not as creative as you you cool guy um i drew a design
of a mazda and sent it to mazda oh and they sent it they sent a thank you back going we'll send it to
our development team because that's the kind of goony stuff you do when you're a kid i've actually
got the letter from like 1990 my mate's mom had just got a mazda and we were like oh we will design
cars and my mom took it sent it to mazda and we got an official Mazda letter going, thank you very much, Daniel.
You show a lot of talent as a designer,
and we'll pass this on to our...
That's it?
Yeah.
And that got read out, again, read out at school.
Schools love doing that, don't they?
Like, someone's done something.
Adam can't hear anything.
No.
Because he's lined up what he's going to say next.
You've gone...
No, I do know what I'm saying, but I'm listening.
But you just went,
school's like reading stuff out.
Yeah, I'm waiting, because I've remembered something I did in year four
it's brutal
when they go
get up in front of everyone
just like it happened
to Adam
but I was so young
it was primary school
and I was so young
that like
I think it was
maybe it was
earlier than 1990
no one gave me
stick for it
like ooh
you wrote to Mazda
whereas the older you get the more it's like
mazda nonce yeah car adam do you remember anything me and my entire class in year four
designed the second iteration of pokemon really yeah so you know there's the original 150 pokemon
yeah right and there was pokemon red pokemon yellow pokemon blue well led by me
it was my idea our class invented pokemon orange and i tasked the entire class to go home
and draw new pokemon were you teaching names you teaching the class no but like i i it was my idea
and the teacher like it's in year four she's like he's being creative let's encourage it and the hot you can ask josh about this 100 true and me
me uh my teacher was from nigeria her name was miss ashibi right okay how have you never told me
about miss ashibi miss ashibi sounds like a car miss ashibi miss ashibi we we have got a new car it's a missashibi
it's not very good i think you might be how you say jag i got a jag car a jag
why is jaguar spelt with three a's um missashby told me off in class once because we had the first four Pokemon,
Harry Potter books.
And she was like,
you've got to read them in order.
So we were reading the first one,
the Philosopher's Stone, as a class.
You know, you sit around
and everyone reads a page, whatever.
And I told her,
because you were allowed to take books home,
I was like, can I take Chamber of Secrets home,
the second one? And she was like, you've got to read them in order. And I was like, I've already allowed to take books home, I was like, can I take Chamber of Secrets home, the second one?
She was like, you've got to read them in order.
And I was like, I've already read the first one.
I was lying.
And then, I can't remember what bit it was,
but there's a bit in this Chamber of Secrets
that contradicts something in the Philosopher's Stone.
And I was like, we were reading as a class,
and I was like, that doesn't make any sense,
Doug's in the Chamber of Secrets and says this.
She was like, this is why you're in it in order.
Out of my class why did you want to
read it out of order
just to be
I was just a little
gobshite kid
you wanted to know
things that other people
didn't
I just wanted to know
what everyone didn't know
but yeah we designed
loads of new Pokemon
and I would sit there
at break time
and the other members
of my class would come
to me and be like
this is the
Ragamon and it's got hundreds of...
The Ragamon!
And I was sat there like, no, yes, no.
I was doing like Pokemon Tinder, just bin in the pile.
Do you remember some of your favourites from the Orange series of Pokemon?
I am like 50% sure that in a box in my dad's attic there are still some of these
in his what in his attic loft still on yeah johnny dantic fucker yeah i would love it if you got some
of them yeah they're really badly drawn yeah but you know like i was just it was the talent i was
working with you you know you can't just it was the talent I was working with
you know
you can't get the staff
yeah
where did you take
your inspiration from
in my head
a lot of Liverpool players
have been
no I was
Gerard Mon
Gerard Mon
Luis Garcia
Zilla
what are the names
I haven't got a fucking clue
but like
I would just draw them
and they'd be like
make some shit ones as well
because there's some shit Pokemon ones so you need a few shit ones for fucking clue, but I would just draw them and make some shit ones as well.
Because there's some shit Pokemon,
so you need a few shit ones for the new game.
But I'm not saying Nintendo owe me any money or anything like that.
Do you know what I mean?
Never say that.
You don't.
But when the second edition of Pokemon came out,
Pokemon Gold and Silver,
there was some Pokemon that looked scarily like the ones
that me and my mates drew.
Yeah, and when Mazda brought out a sports car,
it looked fuck all like the special needs effort I sent in late 80s, early 90s.
I made pedophile Pokemon cards last year.
Pedo Pokemon?
Yeah.
Who's that pedo?
For the quiz.
Right.
You've already seen.
They've seen me quiz now for Dave to Patreons.
Yeah.
This is public though.
Yeah,
but if you're Patreons,
you'll have seen
Carl's quiz V2.
I did one in Japan
and it was
who's that paedophile?
If you're confused,
the lockdown lock-in
went out on Friday evening
at 6pm.
If you haven't signed up
to Patreon
and you want to see
both of the now
legendary lock-ins, patreon.com
slash have a word pod.
And you also get the entire back catalogue of Patreon
episodes, which are a little bit naughty, especially
this week's one, which we're almost certainly
going to get a lawsuit for.
Let's put it this way.
The Les Battersby
followed us on Twitter yesterday and it made us all
very nervous.
Les Battersby got away with...
He was the one that got leased, like, shtick.
Yeah.
That was a weird moment, getting followed by Les Battersby.
Did you...
So I never was into Pokemon, and I'm...
Obviously, I'm not going to get into it now,
but it was just past my...
Laura was watching something about SMTV.
Oh, yeah.
And they were talking about the success that came
because they didn't know what Pokemon was
when they started putting it on.
So they started doing,
Ant and Dec started doing sketches about Pokemon.
And Laura's like, oh my God, I watched SMTV.
It was like, must watch.
And because I'm five, six years older than her,
I was like, just completely missed this.
SMTV was fucking unbelievable.
Wonky donkey. Wonky donkey. was fucking unbelievable. Wonky donkey.
Wonky donkey.
Yeah.
Wonky donkey.
Wonky donkey.
When are we talking here?
98, 99?
Yeah.
It was before Dick and Dom, wasn't it?
On BBC.
Yeah.
It's like it didn't clash.
It was a fucking belted of a morning.
You wake up Saturday morning, you've got your Coco Pops,
you've got your fucking Crazy Bones.
Oh, yeah.
I'm aware of it.
But I'm just like, from the generation before, aren't I?
We just didn't...
Like, what did we have on a Saturday morning?
I can't even fucking remember.
Pedophiles?
Yeah, it was pedophiles.
Swap shop?
Swap shop.
No, I'm not that fucking old.
You absolute twats.
News about the war.
A speech from the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill.
You said the radio, didn't you?
The wireless.
I said in the morning, we sat down for the one hour of BBC broadcasting.
I don't think you can complain about being old anymore
while you're sat there sucking on a tobacco-less pipe.
This is one of the best things we've had sent in.
We've had Mother Teresa recently.
Can't see her in the shop, but yeah.
Well, Mother Teresa's been sent in.
We've got a signed picture of Mother Teresa.
We've got a signed Kevin Webster,
a signed Mother Teresa, which is official.
What does it say, Dan?
It says,
top work, you bunch of nonces.
Love you, Adam.
Mother Teresa.
It says, I don't want no more Mother Teresa
hashtag 260
so she's
she's a big fan
she's obviously
listened to a lot
of the older episodes
and actually says
God bless you
so we're actually
blessed by Mother Teresa
we've got
in the wall of fame
so far
blessed by God
she's just asking him
to tell you
Kev Webster
Mother Teresa
and Fastino Asperia
what a fucking
imagine that for a front line
oh
fucking hell mate Shag Mary avoid them Dan genuinely Teresa and Fastino Asperia. What a fucking... Imagine that for a front line. Oh.
Fucking hell, mate.
Shag, marry, avoid.
Dem, dem.
Genuinely.
I'd love to see her fucking ragging on me. I'd shag either of the...
Like, honestly,
I know you're going to say I love cock,
but Mother Teresa there in that picture
is 182 years old.
She's praying to die.
Still untouched pussy, though.
I don't even think she's touched it.
It's just...
The word isn't offensive, it's the context, isn't it?
The way Adam drops pussy.
Pum-pum's better.
Yeah, it's playful.
Untouched, bulbous clunge.
Is that better?
No.
Who am I marrying?
I reckon it's so painful.
I don't even know if I want to spend like an hour with any of the three.
Michael Lavelle would be all right, wouldn't he?
I would shag Tino Esprit.
Standard.
Because, you know what?
I've shared a football pitch with the man,
and he was a nice guy.
You know what I mean?
A man marked him out the game.
Scored and on.
A man marked him?
No, I'm going to fuck him.
Yeah.
Like a real defender.
Yeah, but I'm fucking him.
I had you in my pocket and my dick in your...
I'm not taking his fucking Colombian pipe in my ass.
All right.
But yeah, I'll have a little fucking dip of him.
I'll avoid Kev Webster.
Yeah, you don't want to loop in the Matrix or something.
And I'll marry Mother Teresa.
Hey! Hey! Hey!
I'm not doing it for you!
Well, I'm doing it for you!
Yeah, I'll marry Mother for you Yeah Marry Mother Teresa
You marry Mother Teresa
She'd be a good spooner
Yeah
Big or little
Yeah
Try and turn her
Is she Ecuadorian?
No
She's from
Where's Mother Teresa from?
She's Italian isn't she?
Oh yes
This is my house
Where is she from?
From where?
No I mean where she grew up
Mother

Yes, I know where I'm born.
Adam, as we go to bed tonight, you...
Can you hold that in front of your face, sorry?
No, because I've used really good tape.
It's going to damage the water.
Yes.
Adam.
Yeah?
Is she smoking?
It's not the only pipe
I want tonight, Adam.
Adam.
This is so disrespectful
what are we doing with our lives
can you imagine though
right
Adam do you think we're going to be fully monetised
imagine if I'd have said
18 months ago
that Dan's going to be stuck
with a signed Mother Teresa
photo on his face
with an Ecuadorian voice
saying he wants to get chugged.
The thing is though,
what I'm wondering, right,
is obviously
she died a virgin,
right,
but let's say you met her
like five, six years
before the end.
I don't reckon she did.
But let's say you met her
five, six years before the end.
Let's say you met her
five, six years before the end.
Ask me anything.
I'm an open book.
And you gave her
the fucking night of her life.
And imagine she just become a massive fucking cum guzzling whore. Oh, God. six years before the end and you gave her the fucking night of her life and imagine
she'd just become
a massive fucking
cum guzzling whore
oh god
he's literally
when it
it's like
do you know that game
where you stick
someone's name
to your face
it's like the
most disgusting
game of that
yeah
no but imagine
if you were the one
who turned
mother Teresa
from a literal saint
into a fucking
raging goose raging cocksucker goose I prefer goose the one who turned Mother Teresa from a literal saint into a fucking... Raging
Gooser. Raging cocksucker.
Gooser. I prefer Gooser.
He's nice.
Me not like a cum goosler.
No.
No, that's not how you treat
a lady.
I mean, that's why I left.
I left. If I wanted that kind
of bullshit, I'd have stayed in Skeggy. If I wanted that kind of bullshit,
I'd have stayed in Skeggy.
Yes.
Do you know what's really funny?
By the way, if you're listening on the audio... She's like begging me for this stuff.

Let's crack on
With this nonsense
Are we ready to
Rock and roll
Let's do some podcasting
Today
Yeah With this beautiful man And that vain man And roll, let's do some podcasting today. Yeah.
With this beautiful man and that vain man and that Turkish and Welsh man.
On the way here, I went to Tesco.
Got two meal deals, both for myself.
One for my breakfast, one for my lunch.
Meant to be £11.55.
That's good meal deal on that, innit?
Got it for six quid.
£5.55 off
did you get what you wanted
rowdy bags
did you get what you wanted
did you not just get
the expensive drink
for the sake of it
no because the coffee machine
was broke
so I got one with a
little milky coffee
the Starbucks cafe latte thing
and I got myself
an innocent smoothie
because I'm trying to
start my day with fruit
did you just steal them
what
did you just steal it
I don't understand what happened.
Like, do you not get Tesco meal deals?
You mean the combined cost should have been 11 quid,
but with the meal deal it was just six quid?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sexy fucker, aren't you?
They don't call me Rowie.
Bags.
Bags.
They've started to, haven't they?
I love
giving advice
on this podcast
mainly because
it's a total roll
of the dice
to see what mood
Adam's in
and whether he's
actually going to
take it seriously
and give some advice
or just tell you
to go fuck yourself
and your nan
I would like
if you've got
any more dilemmas
I really think he could be a great agony ant.
I genuinely enjoy this.
Questions, the would-you-rathers, we've done to death.
If you need some advice, have a word pod at gmail.com
and we will sort your life out.
What kind of speaking in touch now?
A nun.
A nun?
Yeah, a nun.
A nun?
Anonymous. Yeah, a nun a nun yeah a nun anonymous yeah
a nun
from which religion though
you don't know
how could you know
that's the thing about nuns
they don't tell you
which religion they are
Muslim nuns
sneaky
bitches
she's probably one of them
fucking Hindu nuns
right
from Macedonia
oh
over the fucking bridge!
Where am I?
Fucking mamakalutz.
This is a lot of fun.
Dear our kid Harry Hill and Andre Gomez,
I've got a bit of a dilemma.
I've been with my girlfriend now for six months.
I think from now on, by the way,
if they don't mention Finn,
you should just make up a thing for Finn
because he feels left out.
Okay.
Start again.
You just missed it, didn't you?
It is there.
It is there, just, yeah.
Say it.
Say the thing.
Oh, yes.
I misread it.
Dear our kid, Harry Hill, Andre Gomez,
and that big fucking cunt.
Oh.
You should have just not read that bit out I shouldn't have read that out really
I wish I'd just missed it
yeah
next time Finn
sorry about that
really aggressive
but he's in a dilemma
I've got a bit of a dilemma
and I hate Finn
I shouldn't have read that out
stop it
I shouldn't have read it out
filter it
I should edit these before I do them
why is Finn such a cunt
no I'm joking
he says I've been with my girlfriend now for six months and things are going really well recently I should edit these before I do them. Why is Finn such a... No, I'm joking.
He says, I've been with my girlfriend now for six months and things are going really well.
Recently, she showed me a picture of her with her old flatmate
and to my surprise, I'd actually, and this is the exact word he used,
raw-dogged her flatmate before I'd met my girlfriend.
So, to make things even worse, I'd been on on the sambuca that night and projectile vomited
on a flatmate's back about two minutes into sex probably the most traumatic experience of both
our lives upon doing this i just fled the scene as fast as possible leaving this poor girl covered
in sambuca and double cheeseburger you a classy motherfucker so i need some advice do i keep
this to myself and hope that my new girlfriend's old flatmate never makes the connection or do i
tell her now so it's out in the open and that's from anonymous shock horror um so can we just
track back he's been seeing
this girl
and then it's going
really well
oh I've got some
pictures of my
and then clock the
picture
who's that
my old flatmate
it's like
oh I have
sex vomed
it's his old
it's her old
flatmate
yeah not a current
one
oh don't tell them
no I think
look here's the thing
what does raw dog
mean
no condom
bummedered
oh bummedered yeah raw Now I think Look Here's the thing What does raw dog mean? No condom Bum dereden
Oh
Bum dereden
Yeah
Raw
As in like raw meat
As in like
No
Not an added
Bum dereden
Right
And dog
As in like
In the bum
You young guys
Well it is doggy style
Because you come
He
I think he'd on his back
Didn't he?
What?
He vomited on her back didn't he what he vomited
on her back nice um unless he just like curled it in right well let's give some advice all right
here's the thing right this is going to come out so does he want to be a liar that's done this
or just someone who's done this he's not lying is, is he, if he doesn't tell someone? Yeah, no, it is.
Like, a girl will definitely see it as lying.
Can you just say he didn't know her flatmate?
He could.
He could pretend that he didn't recognise her
and be like, oh, when you showed me that picture,
like, I was so drunk that night, that's why I was sick.
I didn't even recognise her.
But if he was going to do that,
he probably shouldn't have written in
to a popular comedy podcast about her first also maybe like maybe the old flatmates is fitter than
his new and more attractive and he can be like look just know i've settled for you i can get
better so watch your mouth yeah it's a really good tactic with that women love that after six months
just sort of undermining them and letting them know that they are inferior and that you have
options women good women like that you want to settle down with they respond really well to that
sort of aggressive gaslighting and tactic yeah they want to know that their man is wanted
my other women my wife does not if you could stop messaging me on instagram
analogy isn't it what the fishing analogy yeah teach a man to fish who said it no teach a man
to fish for the day it's not the analogy let him shag all your fit mates and you'll know how to
behave but no it's i think it's like that but it's teach a man to no it's give a man a fish
and he'll eat yeah but if he vombs sambuca and double cheeseburger all over a back
then you know he's got options what yeah weren't we listening to an audio
he's like you know his routine i don't want to do i'll do it he's dead he's like
making men work with women is like making bears work with salmon covered in honey
and then getting pissed off when the bear like oh human resources the grizzly bear just did
grizzly bear stuff he's like but when you're in a relationship, you need, like, women need to smell fish on you
so that they know that, you know, I can still catch fish.
Like, every now and then I'll take one out of the water and throw it back in just so I smell a fish.
You're just a fish that jumped back on the boat.
Holy shit. And six months in, you you're like we've been together so long why do you still need a boat so i can catch fish and show you i can catch fish so you can act right
oh my god he's got a point i think this lad needs to go down the route of, listen, eh, right?
Look, just because I fuck someone
who you know before I met you
doesn't make me a bad person.
It just means you've got similar taste in dick,
so get over yourself.
Again.
Shut the fuck up.
Anonymous.
Anonymous.
If you're going to go down Adam's road tactically,
I'd change some of the wording.
I think...
Use her name.
That's what he means.
Just so she knows you're talking to her.
I think Adam...
Becky, listen.
I can fuck who I want, when I want, before we're together.
You can do nothing about it.
I've vombed on her, and yours is next.
Is he saying this before she brings it up?
Is he just coming in the house and saying this?
Or has she already brought it up?
Adam's given five different options of advice,
and they're getting worse and worse.
No, what he should do is shoot her with a gun,
and be like,
ah, you're dead, not bad.
Ah, so I puked on her back, but I shot yous.
And I got the gun in about half an hour from Scotch Brian,
me dad's brother-in-law, whatever.
What he should actually do is sit her down, get the photo out,
and go, listen, I've vomed on her back.
And then if she's got questions, answer them.
But if she goes, I don't want to know,
then you're off the hook.
Six months in, things are going really well.
I'll be honest, not to play the old,
sit down, child, let me tell you about marriage.
Anyone who's like,
you can't believe you did that before you met me.
Anyone who uses that rhetoric is an arsehole.
Just, you don't own someone's history.
Don't be a fucking douchebag.
If you like someone and you're with them
and you found out what they were like,
like, either leave or just fucking buckle in.
Like, that's their life.
But I think there's a lot to be said for just going.
I can even see they're just ignoring it, Root.
But I think if you're going to end with a long term you should be like can i tell you something and it's really embarrassing and i
want to tell you before your mate gets in your ear that i'm an arsehole but i i have one of the most
bad embarrassing experiences of my life and just by, it's with your old flatmate.
And I want to tell you, so she's not the one who goes,
oh my God, at your birthday party, I recognised him.
And I just, I could smell five guys.
And I think you will know if this girl has got legs long-term.
If she goes, I can't believe that you puked on someone's leg
before I knew you.
Because that's a bell-end reaction.
I know he's been a knobhead, but he's not done it on purpose.
I think it's a real testing.
Like, it's a litmus test of whether this has got legs as a relationship.
I just want to go back about a minute and a half
where you said you don't own someone before they're together and all that
and that you should not be like, oh, you did this before we were together.
So I just want to know, if you'd met someone, right,
and you really liked them
you're six months in
and then
you showed her a picture of
you
and your rugby team
right
and she was like
listen
gonna sit you down
I gang banged them
like once a month
for a year
once a month
yeah
it wasn't just a drunken night
she was a barmaid
they were on rugby tour
It was honestly
Last Sunday of the month
And bank holiday Mondays
Last Sunday of the month
And bank holiday Mondays
Holy communion
Fucking hell
Would that put you off?
I used to get gang banged once a month
By 13 people that you know
You know what Adam
I see that you're trying to break down my argument
But I think you might have gone too far with the analogy
Because I don't
think getting drunk and vomiting on someone's back as unfortunate as it is is as bad as 12 times a
year getting piped by 15 fucking lads including the prop like that's worse isn't it um are you
slush amen no just i'm not slush amen you can You can honestly, you can bang all the teams you want.
But I think at that extent, you're allowed to be like,
wow, that is going to maybe colour my view of someone going forward.
Yeah, but like, why?
Why?
Why would it colour your view of them?
What have they done wrong?
What have they done wrong?
Are you enjoying this?
Being a cunt?
Is it different rugby teams
Or is it the same one?
No it's the same one
It's your rugby team
You just went and bought it
Oh it's my rugby team
Well I know it's ridiculous
Because what position do I play?
You hold the flag
Right
Have you watched rugby?
Do you know what sport we're talking about?
Are you thinking about Quidditch?
You hold the flag
You're the seeker
I think you might have jumped ahead too far there on Harry Potter.
If you got with a new lady and found out that me and Dan had run a train on her.
Oh, no, it's a bit different when it's your mates, though, isn't it?
Yeah, well, it's a whole flatmate.
It's your rugby team.
It's the same sort of question.
I would say, do you know what, babe?
As long as it never happens again, we can move past this.
I don't believe you.
Absolutely. Stop projecting. Where is... Stop projecting. as long as it never happens again we can move past this I don't believe you absolutely
stop projecting
where is
where is
stop projecting
you are the most
territorial
slut shaming
misogyny
you are such
a fucking hypocrite
why
I
you know what
whether it turns you off
or turns you on
or you can deal with it
or not
just make the fucking
decision then
that's the thing
you're allowed to be like wow that has
discombobulated me a little bit that's a lot of dick 12 times a year 15 dicks 12 times a year
bank holiday mondays you're forgetting about them i don't know how many bank holidays are in a year
oh and the bank holidays half of the 12 wow so even after the monday after is sunday yeah two
two in 24 hours. Yeah.
You're allowed to be like, yeah, that's a lot of dick.
But you're not.
Just don't go, well, it's fine,
and then hold it over someone for three years of their shit relationship.
Just make the call and fuck off.
I think you own up to it.
He's got to own up to it.
It's how he does it is the question.
I think he should do it again.
You're a silly person,
isn't it?
I think he should
look at that photo
with it again.
Right,
and then go,
ah!
Oh!
Ah!
He could lie
and say she spewed on him.
No, no, no.
Can you just let it finish?
Ah!
And she'd be like, what's? Ah! And she'd be like,
what's the matter?
And he'd be like,
bring her round for tea.
And then she comes round for tea
and he starts screaming again.
Ah!
Ah!
And then,
she'd be so freaked out by him,
she'll leave him.
And he'd want to have
an awkward conversation.
Okay, good.
I thought that was going to be
proper advice
and it really went off the rails.
I think he wants to stay with her, doesn't he?
Yeah, he does, yeah.
It'd be an amazing reaction if you started going,
the second time you'd seen the picture.
The first time you're like,
oh yeah, she looks nice.
No, he should say,
hey, who's that?
And she'll be all flat, whatever.
Yeah.
And he'll go,
when was the last time you spoke to her?
And if it's like
more than a year
keep the secret forever
oh that's a good
yeah yeah
that's a good little caveat
there's no point
admitting to getting
absolute
like if she's like
yeah I hardly ever
see her again
yeah
because you can
at the end of the day go
I didn't remember
it was the worst night ever
and I'm really embarrassed
about it
I'm not proud of it
I'm ashamed of myself
what happened that night
I just genuinely didn't recognise it
because we were steaming
but that was before
I met your darling
now you know
where I'm on the straight and narrow
yeah I don't vomit on backs anymore
I'm a changed man
have you ever done that
have you ever
have you ever got so drunk
you've puked
in and around the old
lady love
erm
I
did
shit on the bathroom floor
of a one night stand
I missed the toilet
At her place?
Oh dear
When?
Did you do clean up?
No I
What?
Oh Adam
I just peed on the floor and she was in the kitchen so I just got off
That's a lie isn't it?
No he didn't He didn't Yeah that's a lie You didn't Do you think just got off no he didn't that's a lie isn't it no he didn't
do you think it's a lie
I know that's a lie
is Adam lying
he's in a weird mood
we can't have been through the whole bin shitting saga
and you've failed to admit that you've
like curled out a turd
no bullshit
I am lying
I did let out out a turd. No, bullshit. I am lying, yeah.
I did let out a ridiculous fart when I was shagging at 197 once.
And it literally, like, this is my memory of it anyway.
Like, it sounded like it sort of matched me thrust.
So like,
we were in a missionary,
right?
Like this.
And as I went to go down,
I started farting.
But like,
I couldn't stop myself,
but I did slow myself down.
So it was like,
and then I pulled out, and it carried on and she looked at me and went what are you doing and i went get on board
like the world's shittest accordion yeah i did that is true. I did a big fart that like,
and it literally matched,
because I was fucking going at it,
but because I started the fart,
I went...
Once it's happening, it's done, isn't it?
Yeah.
True.
And it stunk.
Oh, that's the worst.
That's even the noise.
Because we'd add like chili garlic, my friend, kebabs.
Oh, no.
Did you?
I think there's a lot to be said for just stopping and being like,
well, madam, this has been, put this down to misadventure.
I apologise, crack a window, and we'll never see each other again.
Good day to you.
Yeah.
Told you about the girl whose name I never remembered the next day
and kept having to call her Gail.
Oh. Did I not tell you about that? Oh name I never remembered the next day and kept having to call her Gail. Oh.
Did I not tell you about that?
Oh.
It was at Hope Uni.
I remember.
Hope Uni?
Yeah, and my phone was dead and I had no money,
so I couldn't just walk out and get the bus.
I had to wait until my phone was charged
so that I could bring a taxi to get off.
So you're like, what's happening, Gail?
Like that? Yeah, and she kept using my name. It was like she knew. to get off so you're like what's happening girl like that
yeah she
like she
and she kept using
my name
it was like she knew
she was like
do you want a drink
Adam
do you want to have sex again
Adam
do you want some tea
Adam
and I was like
yeah girl
do you want a drink
Adam
do you want sex again
Adam

do you want do you want do you want do you want do you want do you want you can get away with not using someone's name for almost
the entirety of being with them
until there's a third person
and then you're meant
to introduce like at the Edinburgh
Festival I am a fucking
master of knowing
everyone that knows me
hey buddy mate
hey shaggy
it's great until you're there with like your missus or a mate
who then stands there going,
can you introduce us?
And you're like, shut the fuck up.
I have actually prepped Laura.
I've prepped Laura many a time
as we're going into Edinburgh at the festival
and I've gone, right,
if there's a pause in a conversation,
you just lean in and go,
hi, I'm Laura, dan's girlfriend dan's wife whatever
at the time and then it's on them to go my name is pablo do not wait for them to look at you and
then look at me going are you going to introduce us because then i'm like now i'm fucked yeah
because it's the fringe there's 3 000 knobheads i'm meant to know and i know the name of 294 of them, which is good.
There's, funnily enough,
I can't remember this comic's name.
He's a younger Asian lad,
like South Asian.
Is he North Asian?
No, he's South Asian.
I was in South and not East.
All right, cool. You know what I mean?
Cool, cool.
I just think it was really funny how you like...
Do you know what I mean?
You do, I do now It's just fine, it's just not like you to be so specific
Before you did Macedonia
You were like, what am I doing?
Dan, South Asian, not East
Do you know what I mean? Really offensive
Yeah
And he comes to me in the street
And he was like
How's it going mate, you alright? And he was talking to me in the street, and he was like, I was like, oh, mate, you all right, yeah?
And he was talking to me as if he knew me.
And then I went, do we know each other?
And he went, it's Lloyd, isn't it?
He thought I was Lloyd Griffith.
And I went, no, mate, I'm not Lloyd Griffith.
And he went, oh, my God, Red Richardson.
He thought I was Red Richardson.
And I do look a little bit like an amalgamation
of those two people.
Can I just say, if you are a young comic in Edinburgh,
when you've got it wrong, don't start guessing other names.
Just take the L and walk off.
Richard Pryor.
I'm going to get it.
Eddie Murphy.
I'm going to get it.
I'm going to get it.
Sarah Kendall.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, I got mistaken for those two a little bit in Edinburgh.
So, we've got some
WYRs.
Go ahead, Dan.
Oh no, here's a
Daniel Pugh sent in a question.
How are we? Ahmed, Daniel, Carlito
and Fergus. Question is this.
If you had to delete one
of the big five social media apps
Facebook, Insta, Snapchat,
WhatsApp and Twitter,
which one would it be?
So if you don't use one already, then that is excluded from your options.
So Grandad Dave, I imagine you don't use Snapchat, so you can't choose that.
Right, so...
So which of the big social medias would you fire off if you had to call one?
So, it's just Elisa for me.
It's not just like ended.
Am I destroying?
Like that's obsolete.
It's gone.
No one's on it.
Or is it just I delete the app?
Right.
I think he means you delete the app.
But I'd also be interested to hear which one you destroy.
Okay.
Deleting the app of Defo, Snapchat,
because I barely use it anyway.
I have got it, but I barely use it. I, deleting the app of Defo, Snapchat, because I barely use it anyway. I have got it, but I barely use it.
I suppose,
in the spirit of the question,
the three I still use
are Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Now, if I was going to get rid
of one of them...
Right, that's a better one,
because WhatsApp's not really
social media.
It's not social media,
it's a messenger.
It's a messenger.
And Snapchat is always
going to be the one,
because it's for fucking
17-year-old girls.
Yeah.
I've started watching some TikToks as well so I'd keep that now
I'd get rid of Facebook
I just think it's a bit
done
like I'm still on it
because I need to for work purposes
but I'd get rid of that
if you're asking which one I would delete
for everybody
it would be Twitter
I think it's the worst of human existence
in an app
I think it's the worst of human existence in an app. I think it's the absolute
cesspit of humanity.
Nothing can be positive
without someone being negative. I've seen
someone... Apart from with our pod.
Yeah, we get a lot of love.
But you still get the odd comment going,
not even funny, because that's what people want to do.
Because it's shorter and it's easier to be angry.
There's a lot of tweets when people become cancer-free.
Like someone will tweet, I'm cancer-free. it's like a young girl or something and someone replied
sort of negative to that the other day i've seen someone go something like uh well a lot of people
still aren't so you shouldn't be bragging about this it's like shut the fuck up this girl's been
through all sorts do you know what i mean people just want on twitter there's just this need to be
nasty and even more with celebrities yeah so like that to be a cunt to that girl is a special type of cuntry, isn't it?
I remember Tom Brady tweeted about,
he only started using Twitter about two years ago,
maybe three years ago, just hadn't bothered with it.
He's going to be one of the,
he's potentially the best quarterback of all time.
He's definitely in the conversation conversation he got a million followers instantly and just started throwing out some tweets and one
of them was like oh looking forward to christmas and playing the next day or something really
innocuous boring nfl player and it's the speed of the first reply because that first reply sits under the tweet if you're the fucker who
oh right okay now now if they respond again it so twitter now isn't it twitter's algorithm is
like threaded and also like a really popular one or a more a more popular account like because
my twitter account's verified my reply is higher up the list than like... Right, okay.
So it weights the responses.
Yeah, but it's not...
There's no exact science to it.
It's like, there might be one where like Carl replies
and his is top of mind's below it.
Yeah.
But like verified accounts get more weight,
big accounts get more weight, funny replies.
When I looked at that tweet, and it happens all the time,
the first one was there like,
a lot of children are starving around the world on Christmas Day.
Do you not think you should be worrying about that than playing football?
And you're like, why?
Why tweet that, you miserable, negative, pious cunt?
There's no point apart from doing that.
Like, I've said left.
I'm going to say right.
I'm famous, and I said up.
Well, I'm saying down.
Just horrible, pointless.
I've started, in a really strange way,
to feel sorry for those people.
And I think that's probably given them far too much
leeway and credit or whatever.
But I always think, when I get, like like an unnecessarily negative or nasty response to something.
You've said it before.
You do a very like.
No, I've even stopped doing that.
I don't really give it any attention now.
All right, all right.
But I just, like, if I put something like whatever and someone's like, meh, meh, meh, meh.
I always just think, what has their afternoon been like
for that to be their response?
Because it can't have been better than mine.
Because no one genuinely happy is being a cunt on the internet
to people they don't know.
Someone messaged me on Insta the other day
to say something quite nice,
and he literally put in the thing,
I know you're not the kind of person to reply to comments or whatever,
but I just wanted to say this.
And you're like, yeah,
it would take a lot for me
to start replying to comments.
So if I tweet and you reply
and I don't reply,
it's not because I'm above you or anything.
I just think you can get lost
in the to and fro.
And I listen to a lot of American podcasts.
We all like podcasts.
I've been listening to podcasts pretty intensively for about five, six, seven, eight years.
And don't know why I didn't pick a number.
Eight years.
And so many of the American comics have talked about how they needed to cull that from their life.
Not social media.
Not culling social media just getting trapped in bitchy little
fucking competitions and arguments with ultimately people you don't know like it's the same with the
facebook groups with comedy like that the only saving grace with facebook because i know it's the
it's one of the easiest ones to think it's's almost a bit redundant. It feels like it's for your Auntie Linda and some EDL supporters.
What I would say is it's great for the stand-up clips.
If you haven't followed us on Facebook, our stand-up clips stay up there.
We're getting new followers from Facebook all the time
because videos that have done well keep going.
Whereas Twitter just burns them facebook
keeps them but it's also useful facebook for groups like the stand-up for the nfl one that
we're in which is just conversation yeah and then the facebook work for comedy comedy i know you
don't use it loads but i even helped admin it for a bit and i in, in the end, I was like, that was the one last place where I had to go,
I'm going to stop getting into these arguments
because you look at people going,
you're wasting your fucking day.
You've said your point.
They've said theirs.
You're never going to see each other in the real world.
Just fucking let it go.
I'm getting really good at just deleting stuff
before I send it.
So like yesterday
I put a tweet out
about Liverpool
and another Liverpool fan
replied
and I typed a big reply
and I went
what are you doing
and I just deleted it
and put my phone down
and I felt so much better
because you're at the level
where you can make your tweet
make your statement
because people are following you
for comedy
the podcast
but also Liverpoolpool i'm not
joking i know more about liverpool football club than i want or need to know i've unfollowed so
many people on social media you're one of the few people i i'm missing information about my family
and where they are in their life pictures of their kids and i know more about like liverpool football
club just through you tweeting yeah it's uh but. But you can just put that tweet up there now
and be like, that's what I was saying.
Yeah, so I have my notification set as well
to if you don't follow me, I don't see anything.
So if you're not a follower and you're just being a cunt,
I'll never see it.
Right.
I don't get those notifications.
You have to be following me or me following you
for me to see any replies. And even then, I often go like you'll notice if i go on my twitter thing like
see the way my twitter's got no notification thing there it's a really good way but if i go on it
that'll come up now there'll be something there yeah oh on the red this is a rare occasion it's
not can i can i just say as well i just cleared it i'll have a word pod uh twitter is
the one we use a lot the instagram it's all i have a word pod there's loads of notifications
and i am now having to work on putting the phone down yeah because before i started working with
you guys or adam last year i was literally i didn't have an Instagram. I wasn't really, I don't, I wasn't enjoying social media at all.
And it was you that were like, you basically went,
you need an Instagram and we need to play the game on this.
And I've started enjoying it more and more.
And now with Twitter.
Instagram's the best one for me.
But I'm enjoying Twitter because I'm less like, I don't, I don't.
You're not scrolling as well.
I don't really do politics and I don't do sport.
But what I'm finding is that having to just leave the phone
because I'm not getting any negatives, but there's so many notifications.
It's a bit overwhelming.
So if we don't respond to your comments or your tweets,
it's not because we're above it.
It's just because every time I pick up my phone every 20 minutes there's another 20 notifications it's also like i see arguments
now from like people i know or like i'll be on their facebook or their twitter and you never see
people who disagree have a big thread and then go you know what i see what you mean never happens
you've got one person who thinks it's black
and another person who thinks it's white
and they both 1,000% believe that they're right.
Like, this chair is black.
No, it's white.
And here's why it's white.
And no, you haven't looked into it.
It's fucking white.
Well, you haven't looked into the thing I've looked into.
It's fucking black.
And then it gets nasty.
And it just becomes worse and worse and worse.
They just get harder.
And then their followers and their followers
start arguing with each other.
Nothing gets solved.
And like, I'll still tweet the odd thing about politics.
I will do.
I'll still tweet the odd.
But what I want to start doing,
even with footy and stuff,
I'm trying to tweet less about it
because even that is less enjoyable for me
because people just don't know how to have any
humor about footy would they not i sometimes think that with your this is a genuine question i think
that about your twitter what i wonder why a social media for sport never got going where you could
because i with that facebook nfl group i put things up there like pictures or whatever we just ask each
of the questions that i would never dream of putting on my Facebook
because everyone would be like
what are you on about?
Is there not
like
do you ever think that
when you're tweeting about football
that people follow you
and aren't arsed
or
like
No because I just think
they just ignore it
like I scroll past so much stuff
Yeah
That's sort of the form of it
isn't it?
I just like
people are so humorless
about footy
like I love talking about footy.
Like, Liverpool lost last night for the first time
in three and a half years at home.
Carl's been taking the piss out of it all day.
I love that shit.
And I love when Everton are shitting a couple of weeks again.
I'll get to wind him up about it.
I love that.
But you try and do it on Twitter.
And people who actually like you get really, really, really angry
because it's their thing.
And there's no tone of voice with a tweet.
It just looks like you're being a cunt sometimes.
Oh, mate.
And it's so hard to judge it.
Reading the comments of footballers who are, like,
giving their tweets about some of the...
It gets so nasty.
Like, racist, horrible shit.
Like, I saw Ian Wright at ScreenGrab,
something that had been sent.
It's just this kid being fucking vile.
And you're like, something about football just clicks someone into just rage, doesn't it?
It's tribalism, isn't it?
Same with politics.
It's just tribalism.
It's me and my people versus you and your people.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you can see there's more tribes in it with politics.
I don't know any Tories.
And if I do know Tories,
they're keeping it fucking well quiet.
Yeah.
Because it's basically two teams
and then the third team,
which is bigger,
is like,
yeah, not arsed.
Yeah.
Whereas football is like,
my team, big team, small team,
big team, big team.
I want to use my social media from now on
to celebrate my successes
and to be funny.
I want to be like,
I'm having a good time.
Isn't that nice?
And also,
here's a joke.
And that's why Instagram's good
because it's a bit,
it's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
That feels like
a nice little time
for me to go for a wee
and us to have a break.
You're busting.
I really need a wee
and I'm hungry
and I might get a KFC today
for the first time in a while.
Oh, the snack wraps are back, baby.
That's what we're doing for lunch.
Got another repeat guest in today.
Who is it?
Who the fuck is it?
Who the fuck is this guy?
Who the fuck is that guy?
We don't need to actually say who it is.
It's who the fuck is that guy.
Yeah, he'll be in in a minute.

What are you doing?
Hey
What's that?
Is this good?
I'm doing a fucking party
You're from Macedonia?
It's a Macedonian accent
Hey
I'm from Macedonia-fucking-donia
He knows his accents
He knows his accents, he knew that
Hiya Freddie Quinn!
Oh we've started
Oh we've started, I thought that was preamble
No, no, no, this is all fire mate
You can't fucking let that gold go down the drain
You can still get pregnant with preamble
Do you have many listeners in Macedonia?
Only Mother Teresa's family.
Is she from Macedonia?
Where she was born and then she was raised in fucking India.
Well, say no more.
I thought she was Italian for some reason.
I think it's the rig out.
I think it's his accent.
I think the name Teresa's Italian, isn't it?
It's Italian for Terry.
Oh, yeah.
Mother Terry.
John's brother.
It's eye-watering, the level of bullshit
that is spewed out on this fucking rather popular
YouTube and podcast show.
You know when a podcast has been going for quite a long time,
when you literally run out of things to talk about,
so you go on about Mother Teresa?
Not only go on about her,
make her a feature of a whole episode.
And we thought we'd all be like,
we nailed that Mother Teresa bit,
and apparently, got a guest in,
fucking fire her back up again.
Well, I want to ask Freddie his opinion on it.
Well...
Would you goose her?
Would you shag Mother Teresa,
given the opportunity?
Would I shag her, given the opportunity?
What, now?
Not now, like, she's alive.
No, that's weird, Freddie.
She's dead.
You don't dig it up.
Like, she's alive and well, and she wants your dick. How old is she? She's 87. No, that's weird, Freddie. She's dead. You don't dig it up. Like, she's alive and well, and she wants your dick.
How old is she?
She's 87.
87.
And she's in the Royal Liverpool Hospital.
Let's do it again.
She's in the Royal Liverpool Hospital for some unknown fucking reason,
and Dr. Adam is administering the last rites,
which is fucking weird as well.
Made the call to her agent.
She signed to Off The Curb.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A bit of diversity.
Good.
So you have to go in to the hospital,
bang her,
and then she's like,
peace out, homeboy.
Do you get anything for banging her?
You just get the knowledge
that you were the first and only.
Hey, I'll give you this.
You're allowed to put it on TikTok,
the whole thing.
If I'm aware...
Telling me that's not good.
But you get to do a selfie saying,
I've just banged my Teresa.
Hi, guys.
Hi, guys.
I'm just here at the Royal Liverpool.
There's Teresa.
Oh, aye.
I can't breathe.
Freddy's on me.
Stop me fucking joke.
If I'm aware,
I can't breathe.
I'm away for Freddy
yeah there you go
you little poo
is it wrong to say
that purely based on
like looks
I don't think I could
get it up for her
come on lad
but
there's something
it's fresh
untouched poo
but there's something
that does make me curious
about what a handjob
would feel like
do you know what I mean
it's the handjob thing
I'd let her wipe me off.
There you go.
Yeah.
Being a little bonald hand.
Yeah.
Oh, I grant you three wishes, Kerr.
Thing is, though,
she's got God's phone number,
do you know what I mean?
If you did that for her,
you might get, like,
a fucking...
a blessing.
So...
International sign for blessed.
So I'd fuck her on the off chance that she put in a good word about my dick to Jesus.
That's amazing.
She got Jesus on fucking speed dial. Like, J-Bomb, listen.
Just been given a fucking good hard Poland by Freddie Quinn.
Could have done with an extra intro too.
You're obsessed with a phone line to God.
She's just died. She can speak to him in person
on speed dial
alright JC God the Holy Ghost
one of them cunts
I don't even know how that works
oh I do
yeah
have you been speaking to one of those
those Hindu nuns
the father the son and the Holy Spirit,
and God is in all three of them.
So they are three separate entities, but God is in all of them.
So God's in God.
Imagine you get a jar of jam, right?
And you put bits of that jam in three different doughnuts.
Those doughnuts are still their own doughnuts,
but they've all got jam in them.
Do you know what's weird about that is,
one is a jar of jam,
and that's in a doughnut that is called a jar of jam.
Look at his face.
The last time I was here,
there was a little bit of back and forth banter
about how some of my analogies don't quite work.
And even for me, what you were saying was a fucking stretch.
You know what I mean, though.
God is not a preserve.
No, he isn't.
He's a fucking gobshite who owes me money.
What for?
Just let it, let it.
Just let it flow.
Let it flow.
How are you Fred?
I'm alright mate I'm glad to be out
Of the fucking house
Do you believe in God
On any level?
No
I
I was raised
At a Catholic school
And my
My nan was quite
St. Teresa's
Yeah mate
All hellos
Yeah mate
It's so funny
It's almost like we grew up
On the same street
It's almost like we grew up
On the same fucking street
Hang on
Is that a school?
St. Tr...
What?
Oh fucking hell
Is that a school?
Yes that's what she did
She helped
She helped starving children
In Calcutta
And she set up a school
In Penwitham
Yeah yeah
Well I imagine
The actual saint
Didn't set up that school either
But when the school was
You have to be dead
To be a saint
Right When was the school set up? Like either. But when the school was... You have to be dead to be a saint. Right.
When was the school set up?
Like, before she died.
Right, oh, okay.
Has she been canonised?
Yeah.
Canonised?
But there was a Saint Teresa before her.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So she's the Saint...
She's Saint Teresa 2.
Right, I got it.
She's, like, flagrant 2.
She's the best.
Saint Teresa.
Are you telling me?
Are you telling me are you telling me
swish
that Mother Teresa
you're in a fucking
mental mood
was fired out of a cannon
you said canonised
yeah that's what they call it
when you
when you make a saint
but you can only have
it's like twitter handles
you can only have one saint
with one name
so she's like
saint Teresa too
right
saint T underscore Reza
no she's the
saint Teresa
no she'd be
saint mother Teresa
she's real saint Teresa
no it's like
when those comedians
put like
John Smith comedy
it's saint Teresa
forgiveness
what if it's like
saint Mo
because they just
used the star for mother
she's to the Marisa
go be What if it's like Saint Moe? Because they just used the start of Mother. She's Tudor Marisa.
Kobe.
How have you just managed to say the most ridiculous thing anyone said on stage?
Yeah, it was a social media joke, but at least it wasn't canonised.
Wouldn't she be Saint Moe for the start of Mother, just to make everything easier?
There can't be another Saint. Mal. EastEnders.
Got an headstove in by St. Mal.
We were like the C of E normal Christians,
and then you were on the other side of the field.
You were St. Teresa of the Little Cathys.
Yeah, but I mean, I...
I know we're not a sectarian area of Preston,
but I really did think you were very different to us.
Did you?
I felt it.
Which one did you go to?
Crookings Lane.
Did you?
Crookings Lane had manky uniforms.
Maroon and blue.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You had grey and yellow.
It was horrible.
Yeah, it wasn't good, was it?
No.
But they just felt like they looked fresher.
Is there any other saints you'd like to fuck?
We're going down memory lane
Saint Christopher
why
patron saint of travel
is there
yeah
right
just thought I'd get me
motorway diversions out
I thought you were doing
like a
a covid travel corridor
I've got my own travel corridor
what's she the saint of
can you google that for us please
what is it
nothing
she's only died you don't have to be the saint of something Can you Google that for us, please? What is Mother Teresa the saint of?
You don't have to be the saint of something anymore.
You can just be like a saint.
She only died 20 years ago.
What is she?
She'd be like the saint of online banking or something.
Do you know what I mean?
She's a very modern saint.
What's Mother Teresa the saint of?
Actually, really good working wireless routers.
The patron saint of Bitcoin.
Patron saint of Bitcoin.
She's a superior general.
Doing all right.
Old fucking Mo.
Is she a saint of anything?
No, but her title is the superior general.
The superior general?
She's going to a fucking war with Satan.
She hasn't got a specific role.
No, she hasn't.
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
in the
a role
do you really
are your family still
Catholic
are you
are they still
still doing it
my family
my immediate family
pretended to be Catholic
so I'd get into
a better school
yeah yeah
classic dad innit
yeah yeah yeah
all Hallows is a better school
than yeah
the other one
yeah yeah yeah
I will christen my kids
if they can go to St Margaret Mary's
or Shoe Island too.
Good school, that.
Well, a lot of people do do that.
So here's a thing that happens that doesn't officially happen,
but I'll tell you that it happens.
So basically, you're not allowed to choose what kids you get, right?
So at year seven...
Schooled.
Schools, yeah.
I mean, schools.
Madonna did.
Yay!
Fucking hell.
So what'll happen is, at year seven, what should happen
is the kids that just get dumped there
are just the fucking kids that get dumped there.
And if you get a particularly thick cohort of kids,
then you just have to fucking make it work, yeah?
But what...
Who has to make it work?
The school just has to make it work.
They have to make them get good grades.
That's...
But if religion is put in as a little caveat...
So, but if religion gets put in as a caveat,
then they can begin to pick and choose which kids they take.
So, let's say you're a religious school and you have fucking
thicky mcthickerson who wants to come to your school and he's going to bring all your grades
down because he's a thick cunt what you can do is you can go have you been to every fucking sunday
mass for the last 10 years because like well i missed one you're like you're fucking out i've
been going to the so garage for my breakfast for the last 10 years? And the kid's like, well, I missed one. And you're like, you're fucking out, mate. I've been going to the SO garage
for my breakfast
for the last 10 years.
Exactly.
I've not been baptised.
You were surprised, dear.
Whereas the clever kids,
the ones that you want at the school
because they're going to bring
the grades up,
you go,
can you say the word God?
Yes.
Great.
No, you have to go and sit with,
we had to go and sit with the vicar.
That's how,
I don't know where,
That's because you were the thick kid
and they were trying to keep you out.
No.
But you just passed the test.
What are you on about?
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
No, it wasn't because...
It was because that's what you had to do
to get into school.
You had to get a thing from the...
Unless you were clever.
The clever ones,
the ones above you,
they just let them in.
So what kind of officially,
unofficially happens sometimes
is that the criteria for letting the clever kids in
is a lot looser than the thick ones.
And then that way, they can pick and choose which ones they want.
And naturally, because they get...
Did you have to have a letter from the priest, from St. Teresa's, to get in?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's so dodgy when you think about it, isn't it, basically?
Oh.
So you as religionists are like, we are going to choose who we want.
Because we weren't really religious.
My mum just knew how to play the fucking game.
So we had to basically just sit there.
I remember going to see the vicar, and it was the weirdest.
You're just sitting, have a cup of tea with him.
Mum there, me there, like, oh, so you want to go to this school?
Like, no, I don't want to be in your fucking living room, v we don't even go to your church and we all did this nice smiley thing and
then he writes a letter and you get in a cfv grammar school like it's horrible oh yeah and
the thing is as well is it's a self-fulfilling prophecy because what happens is they take the
best kids the best kids the best academic kids they then get the best results and they look like
the best school and then so more people want to go to it because they think it's the best academic kids, they then get the best results and they look like the best school. And then so more people want to go to it
because they think it's the best school.
Half the time,
these Catholic schools
aren't the best schools really.
It's just they take the best kids
so naturally they get the best fucking results.
Conspiracy.
There's a God conspiracy going on.
Oh, there's definitely,
definitely a conspiracy
with religion and education
in this country.
I went to do that sit-down thing
with the priests
to get into Cardinal Heenan from St Margaret Mary's.
So St Margaret Mary's is the church,
like right in Dovecote where I grew up,
the parish club is where we used to drink as a family and stuff.
And I was year six or whatever,
and our priest was the gayest man.
Like, you knew he was gay three weeks before you met him.
Do you know what I mean?
How did you get in the school
adam well i got into school oh adam's a very bright student wasn't asking you three weeks
warning though he's hungry for knowledge i uh i nearly got in a lot of trouble when i asked him in front of my mom and dad i didn't think god
liked you to be gay wow never he brought to you and like i can barely remember it i was already
how gay was he like he had a doily and everything really oh yeah so he he sat down and he was
talking to me about skill and i went can i ask you a question and he went yeah of course that's
what we're here for you know i ask you questions you ask me questions i went
i didn't think god liked it if you were gay and he went i'm not gay i'm married to the church i
don't i don't go near men or women and i was like yeah is the church a man when we come out my mum
was like you're a fucking idiot he's not gay he's just got a like an effeminate voice and i was like
i didn't know mom i just I still got in though
yeah I still got in
don't know what
me fucking dad had to do
to make that happen
listen
listen
your son isn't
your son isn't
Cardinal Heaton material
but over in that room
Mother Teresa's
dying for a shag
your dad did the thing
that Forrest Gump's mum did
the Cardinal Heaton priest is like fucking hell lad dad did the thing that Forrest Gump's mum did?
The cardinal heathen priest was like Fucking hell, lad.
Oh, your dad is very
very interested in your education.
And you were just there going
You
were telling us... What a weird fucking thing
to have to go through. Yeah, it's strange, isn't it?
You were telling us just before we started
Because you've never really mentioned
As part of your comedy before
Or certainly not last time you were on here
That you've done quite a lot of teaching
But you've just told us that you're not arsed anymore
Because you're never going back to it
Yeah fuck it it's done now
Why?
Because I fucking hate it
Why do you hate it though?
It's really
What about enriching and improving the lives of millions of children?
It's really hard So that's It lives of millions of children it's really hard
so that's oh it's it's easily the hardest job that's not what you want to be doing anyway it
was a i remember when i got mates with you you were doing your pgc just as you were starting to
get a lot of paid gigs and you were like yeah it's not ideal i just want to sort of i want to
fall back and i was like it's it's a clever, but it's not like you wanted to be in teaching.
You are a comic.
But this last year has jiggled everything up, hasn't it?
Because you look at, right,
when I started to get paid work and stuff,
I was very conscious of the old shit comics
that were trapped on the circuit.
And they hadn't achieved what they wanted to achieve in life,
but they had nothing else.
Name them.
They're in the fucking...
Name just one.
Just name one.
They're in their 50s or whatever.
They can't fucking walk into a job
and then it says,
oh, I was a comedian for the last 30 years.
All right, cool.
Well, we're going to start you off a minimum wage.
It's just not going to work for them.
No, you've to work for them.
No, you've been working for yourself.
You're a little,
you're like,
comics are so,
they're captaining their own fucking weird ship
to then be like,
now you're part of our team
where the supervisor's 28
and he's an absolute hard-on.
It's not going to...
This is it.
And there are, as well,
I think every comedian
has a glass ceiling
where they just aren't going to get better than
that and i don't think you know it's so brutal it is isn't it so true and the thing is as well
as you don't know you don't know where your glass ceiling is until you can feel something rubbing
against your fucking head and then you're like oh shit 50 quid middles is my glass ceiling
but you two have been doing it at the point... A name popped into my head there. But you two have been doing it long enough that, like,
10 years in, you're still like,
ooh, this feels a little bit ceiling-y,
but I'm sure there's more going.
Mate, when you've been doing it 15, 20 years,
there is a bit where you're like, oh, yeah,
this feels all very...
It's, like, repetitive. You've found your ceiling. It is a brutal thing.'re like, oh, yeah, this feels all very, it's like repetitive.
You've found your ceiling.
It is a brutal thing.
There's nothing wrong with that.
That's life.
You're probably finding ceilings for yourself at the moment.
Like, you're probably not going to get on TV.
And I'm probably not either.
It's just something that's just not really going to work for us.
No, it's why you hustle for other avenues.
Totally.
And you feel the little bump and you go, oh, I'm not going to go down that route okay pivot and then you got this instead which is
miles better than fucking tv which is you know great because you're the masters of your own
destiny pretty much but i never you can't i don't know if you know you can't do the
mother theresa deathbed on the bbc i don't think they're gonna okay it i would like to get it
checked okay right
we'll speak to our
people if you're willing
to let me because
obviously we do stuff
on this and you know
we could turn them
into bits I feel like
we both contributed a
lot to that if I can
have that routine if I
do get a stand-up
shot of the BBC I
will try and get it
cleared right then I
walk out with the
postcard sellotape to
my face again
hello Adam you said
we could do it again.
It's not as good, is it?
Imagine that on Live at the Apollo.
Just no explanation.
No explanation.
Nothing about the podcast
or even how you two know each other.
Just the walking embodiment of glass ceiling
walks out with Mother Teresa
selling tape to his face.
Not even that he's a comic.
Just that it's like a random bloke
that you've got to come out
just so this bit will work.
I have a wrinkly hands.
I give a hand job.
The glass ceiling is real.
I felt it.
But for some guys and ladies and other,
I don't know what to say anymore.
People.
What did you say? People. other, I don't know what to say anymore, there is a...
What did you say?
People!
Like, listen.
That sort of encompasses everyone,
unless you don't regard people of different genders as people. Yeah, Freddie's
really struggling. Men or women or...
Oh, fuck you! Just people.
Well, I think you're familiar enough with my body
of work to know what I feel about the subject!
No, so, look, there are people who, like,
their glass ceiling is doing a fucking, you know,
hundred quid gig in Grimsby.
Do you know what I mean?
And that's that.
And I looked at those people,
and the thing is, when you get to that,
when you're in such a precarious situation for work,
you never want to mix your setup.
You always want to do the gold, which is just it gets every year it gets a little bit older and a little bit shitter
our fear is not great for development of stuff like so so many of those people and they were
clinging on to the circuit by their fucking face they were going to carlisle to put the electricity
on and it was just like uh and i And I thought, I would rather give up comedy
than be one of those people.
I'd rather not do it
and look at myself in the mirror every day and go,
I failed on my own terms.
This is back in the day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've just realised that when you said,
go to Carlisle to put the electricity on,
you meant so that they could pay their own electricity bill
and not just go and turn on Carlisle's Christmas lights.
Every year in Cumbria,
they have a big thing.
We're going to put the lights on now
in everyone's houses.
We've got comedian Freddie Quinn.
He's come all the way to Cumbria.
I'd fucking do that gig.
I don't give a shit.
I'd do that gig.
Did you say Carlisle?
Yeah, man.
Do you know,
this is a 100% true story.
So, comics that will eventually
sit on that couch
from the North East
who are friends of ours.
I'm not sure if I've told you this before.
Chris Ramsey,
obviously very famous Geordie comedian.
Jason Cooke,
who you lived with for a bit, didn't you?
And, you know,
Stefan Peddi. So they were all in Jason Cooke's BBC Two sitcom very famous Geordie comedian, Jason Cook, who you lived with for a bit, didn't you? And, you know, Stephen Petty.
So they were all in Jason Cook's BBC Two sitcom, Heaven,
which is a small suburb of Tyneside.
And it was the title of the show.
And someone got in touch with the show
and wanted to book Chris Ramsey for what I,
I can't remember the figure,
but a derisory amount of money
to come and turn the Christmas lights on
so Chris was like
no I don't even think it got
to Chris I think his agent just went
don't be fucking stupid and they were like
well can we have Jason then and Jason was like
I don't want to fucking do that I'm not doing it
Stefan Peddy was like
I'll fucking do it we'll go and flick a switch
for a few hundred quid or whatever it was I'll fucking do it I'll go and flick a switch for a few hundred quid or whatever
it was i'll fucking do it i'll go down it was some cunt's living room this is true i could bring
stephan and get him to tell you he literally had to like lean behind the telly no and flick on a
four plug amazing oh that's so fucking funny.
I hope he got paid cash for that,
just for that awful, awful moment.
Also, also as well...
You did that fucking great.
Also as well, if there's one person
that you didn't want leading behind your telly,
it's 30 Stone Stefan Petty.
He once rang me to cancel a gig
because his car was in the garage
and he couldn't get his hire car on.
It's amazing.
He's too big for his hire car.
Yeah, yeah.
His hire car didn't fit him.
They gave him a K.A.
and he was like,
it was when I ran a gig at Hope Uni.
Twice it's been mentioned today, isn't it?
And yeah, he was booked to do it.
And he was like,
you can't get me fucking car on.
It's too small that's fucking
his big bone his heavy structure
well yeah that's why
I got into teaching anyway because
I wanted to have a backup
just in case I ever had to fucking
take a gig where I switch someone's fucking
meter on do you know what I mean
no chance so yeah
I got into teaching and then i trained for a year
and then i did two years for an nqt which is like your your first initial year of teaching
um you know once i was qualified then i just fucked it off and i thought well what i'll do
you qualified as a teacher and i was like i'm doing fine as a comic so you basically did
everything you needed to do to get the qualification and then they were like, I'm doing fine as a comic. So you basically did everything you needed to do to get the qualification.
And then they were like, right, Freddie,
so where do you want to go?
I want to go to Carlisle for 100 quid.
So fuck you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then, well, the thing is,
the idea was that I could always have supply to lean back on.
I've been doing some supply during the pandemic
and it's fucking crap.
It's just dog shit.
So supply is when teachers are off sick
and you go in and sort of have to walk into teaching a class
that you've sort of got no idea where they're up to
or what they're doing.
Yes, and you basically just have to make it up as you go along.
So, I have taught Spanish during the pandemic.
Do you speak any Spanish?
Can't speak a fucking word.
None.
How do you do that?
No, you behead.
I don't fucking know. You just make it up you are sorry just a class full of kids in preston who just can't speak spanish now because you told them all the wrong
way i'll show you how i do it right and this only works with younger kids older kids see straight
through it right let's say there's a fucking question on the board what does soy mean or
something like that yeah what does soy mean uh okay adam on the board. What does soy mean or something like that? Yeah.
What does soy mean?
Okay.
Adam, what do we think?
What does soy mean?
Penis.
Penis.
Is he right?
And then the class will let you know.
What if they all go, no.
Then you go, he's not right.
What do we think?
And then someone will go, oh, I am.
Is she right? He's just playing high and low with the? And then someone will go, oh, I am. Is she right?
She's playing higher and lower with the class.
Literally, Bruce Forsythe.
Higher than a penis, you say, and I am.
It's literally as easy as that.
Right. But then sometimes you will teach, like, so, for example,
I had to teach a year 11 class physics, the lesson before the mock exam.
Oh, that's not fun.
Literally, one of the kids was like,
sir, what's the formula for converting kinetic energy
through to excess heat energy?
And it's like, I don't even know what he just said.
You need your real teacher's phone number
and ring his sick ass and ask.
But they're all self-isolating, so it's like...
So you've been doing it this since,
like, the schools went back in what,
like, July or June, July?
Well, no, that's school holidays, isn't it, July?
No, when did the schools go back? June?
September.
Did they go back in September? I thought they went back before.
So have you been picking off bits?
I did some bits, and I did some bits in November as well.
By the way, can I just say say that summer holiday was a load of shit
wasn't it like right schools have been off when well from the end of march right through until
about june like well we're gonna need the summer holiday though aren't we guys definitely end of
july into august that's absolutely massively important have we just been off for five months
yeah never mind that it's the children's mental health. You know, they're really struggling at the moment.
I love it when parents do that.
Like, I need my child to go back because their mental health
and I need them to fuck out the house.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
It's about their mental health.
But you've been quite vocal.
Like, not to get too serious, you know,
comedy podcast, very funny, ha ha ha.
But, thanks for summing it up. That's our new bio. comedy podcast, very funny, ha ha ha. But, thanks for summing it up.
That's our new bio.
Comedy podcast, very funny, ha ha ha.
Spoken like a foreign national.
Me make talk, Mother Teresa, boom boom.
Very many laugh, ha ha ha.
It's like you've got a Serbian man to sum up your podcast.
minute laugh.
It's like you've got a Serbian man to sum up your podcast. Adam Rowe,
Comedy Man Liverpool,
Grandad Dave,
Boring, Freddy,
Not Teacher. But you have been
quite vocal about the fact, because, you know, there's
parents who listen to this, not good ones,
but there's some.
Because you really
don't think the kids should be in school, because you
basically think they're not getting an education anyway.
Oh, they're not.
So I used to be fucking, like, especially when I was a teacher,
like, my line was always that unless your kid is literally fucking dying,
then they have to go into school.
None of this fucking, oh, he's got a migraine so he can't come in.
Fuck off.
Get your kid into school.
Stop being a prick.
Because you can't miss school. Because what happens is you've got to think of this from a teacher's
perspective right you've got 30 fucking kids in the class let's say they're in year 10 or year 11
where it starts to get important right let's say you have two kids off on the week where you talk
about a character from a book and then you you teach it to the other 28 and then the next week
you move on to a different character,
and those two kids come back, well, how the fuck are you going to,
what, are you going to teach two sets at once?
What, are you going to teach the two,
and then they're going to miss out on something else?
Like, what the fuck do you do?
So, like, actually kids missing school is a massive fucking problem
when you're teaching, because the curriculum's so goddamn tight
that you can't afford for any days off and
shit like that but at the moment they just aren't getting an education like again i can't speak a
fucking word of spanish it's pointless me being in that room and being like oh what does what oh
what's one mean what what anyone who knows they have to be there because especially like even like
if they're key workers kids they have to be in at the moment, don't they?
Yeah.
That's the, so.
Yeah, but it's not a school, is it?
It's more like a fucking creche.
Because the amount of, the amount of staff that are off is insane.
Like I was working at places where over 50% of teachers were off.
Now I like, that's just unbelievable.
Like if you have in a school,
if you have two or three teachers off on one day,
it's like, oh, bloody hell.
Oh, we're snowed under at the moment.
It's insane.
It's unprecedented because-
And now you've got half the staff off.
What, isolating, actually got COVID?
Yeah, one of the following.
Because the thing is,
so the one where I taught physics, the head of science was meant to teach that day, which is a good shout on paper, isn't it?
She got a text message at five past eight to say, you've got to self-isolate.
And so she's like, she spoke to the head and she was like, says I've got to go.
And they were like, yeah, you've got to, you can't be insured to be at school. So they just fucked her off at five past eight and that was like says i've got to go and they were like yeah you've got to you can't be insured to
be at school so they just fucked her off at five past eight and that was that and then i had to
come in and i'm just a body in the fucking room i don't know any goddamn physics so it's like
jesus it's pointless than being open and also as well you cannot you cannot like socially distance
and stop it from spreading you just can't't. It's impossible. Are the kids bothered about COVID?
Are they talking about it?
Like, are they even aware of what's going on?
I was teaching in schools when killer clowns were a thing.
Huh?
Do you remember killer clowns?
Like people dressing up as clowns and scaring the shit out of kids.
Two years ago?
No, it was about four years ago.
Wasn't it after it?
It was like four years ago?
About four years ago.
I don't really remember that
because we touched on that.
We were at one point,
like we didn't end up doing it.
So I'm just going to sort of say it.
We were looking at doing,
it was only when we had like 500 patrons as well.
It's like five times the size of that now.
We were going to do a big prank
of some sort.
We were going to use the 500 patrons
to like want you patrons to like,
want you all to tweet at the same time saying you've seen like a UFO
and see if we can get like, get it trending or something.
And one of the ideas we had was to just get loads of people to dress up as clowns
and go to Newsham Park in Liverpool and just spread this like,
what the fuck are all these clowns doing in Newsham Park every night?
How brutal would that be when it was just three podcast listeners turned up?
One of them hadn't even made the effort with the clown costume
and none of us could be fucking arsed.
You'd lose three listeners there going,
I fucking spent... It's a proper Pennywise.
Bastard.
Yeah, one of you guys
or one of the patrons mentioned
that then, like there was this killer clown thing.
It's big in America, wasn't it?
Yeah, because we're adults
and for us, we don't see
a dude dressed up as a clown and go,
oh my god, he might hurt me. You go,
look at that fucking prick.
If it was dark and there was someone walking down the street with a clown mask on,
I'd fucking run a mile.
Would you? Yeah. So here's the thing.
I would think, probably
a pedo.
Clowns walking down the street,
do-do-do-do-do-do.
I'm a night-time clown.
I go to night-time children's parties.
Also,
he's on a register.
He's scary, wouldn't he?
But not for you.
Why?
He might have a knife.
I'm so like you,
but I haven't.
Yeah, but neither is he.
Yeah, but he could get one.
But you wouldn't think that he's a pedo either,
because one thing about pedophiles
is that they don't try and attract attention to themselves.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Big fucking red car with a nose on the side.
Where is the honour of pedophilia these days?
Dress up as a clown, let us know.
You're looking at him like,
well, this is a bizarre double bluff situation that he's doing
I can hear footsteps
slap
slap
slap
yeah I mean
pedos keep a low profile
generally speaking
don't they
yeah
yeah
high profile pedophiles
outed this year
don't know whether you've
heard of Prince Andrew
being shagging
the lot of them mate
in the art
do you reckon he'll ever
get done for that
well absolutely not no is Mars the queen exactly it's mad being shagging the lot of them, mate. In the arse and everything. Do you reckon he'll ever get done for that? What?
Absolutely not.
No.
Is Mars the queen?
Exactly.
It's mad.
And do you know what?
Right, let me just say this.
If my ma...
This isn't a conspiracy, either.
If my ma was the queen
and I got in any sort of trouble with the law,
I'd be fucking fuming.
Do you know what I mean?
If your ma's the queen, I'd be fucking fuming. Do you know what I mean? If you're Mars the Queen,
I expect her to help me out.
Oh yeah, you deserve a pass, don't you?
No, you don't deserve it,
but you would expect it.
A royal pardon.
Yeah, that happens a lot, doesn't it?
Royal pardons.
That means you don't have to go to court or anything.
That's how that works, isn't it?
Oh no, that's right.
Has any prince ever been prosecuted in your lifetime?
What are you asking me questions
that you know I don't know the answer
and you don't know the answer?
Exactly.
So as soon as neither of us know the answer, he goes,
exactly.
Could be true.
End of.
There you go.
5G, Hillary Clinton, each children, Prince Andrew has fucked me,
he's fucked a clown, and he's fucked kids,
and he's fucked Freddie's children from school.
There you go.
Do you know that he's not?
There you go. Hey, do you know that he's not? There you go.
He cut off.
He's so finished with conspiracies.
Do you really not think he shagged that game?
Have you not seen that interview?
She's just a lack of information on your part.
You've seen two tweets, not concentrated.
I've seen the interview with Emily Maitlis where he's like,
I can't sweat
while he's pissing with sweat
doesn't like conspiracies Dan
yeah
but this isn't a conspiracy
I can't wait for you to start
your fucking conspiracy podcast
I think some conspiracies
and I will not be a gift
some conspiracies are bollocks
like Flat Earth
is bollocks for idiots
but
I do think that Prince Andrew
fucked an underage person at some point.
I just, I think it's just too much for coincidence.
It's not really a conspiracy, is it?
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying it is.
If you went round to, like, a pedo's house every day
for, like, a year or whatever,
and they were outed as a pedo,
it's not too much for people to go,
what were you doing there every day?
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
It's not too much, is it?
Exactly.
And I think the whole like,
Epstein, you know,
killing himself and shit,
I think it's just,
there's something clearly not right.
All very convenient.
Yeah.
But, do you know what it is
I think that powerful people have worked out
that we can only be arsed for a certain
amount of time
we probably have
we're arsed until the next thing happens
so we go oh my god I cannot believe
this this is fucking outrageous
and then we all sleep on it and then we go
ah it's fine innit
and then they go we're going to make fine, innit? And then they go,
we're going to make a female Ghostbusters and everyone goes,
no!
How much did you waste on track and trace?
11 billion?
Female fucking Ghostbusters!
So the kids are talking about COVID
and you brought up killer clowns and then... So, yeah, yeah. So the kids are talking about COVID and you brought up killer clowns and then...
So, yeah, yeah.
So the kids were...
I mean, there were some kids that pretended to be scared of killer clowns,
but they fucking weren't.
But there were children that were genuinely afraid of them
because you've got to remember, they're fucking kids, they're idiots.
Yeah.
But a lot of them are genuinely afraid of COVID.
Yeah.
Because they've had a year of being told,
if you don't wear a mask, you might kill your dad.
Do you know what I mean?
And so it's fucks with their fucking heads.
It's weird.
Etta is not even four.
And they've obviously heard,
we never said coronavirus in front of her.
We never talked about it.
Just careful, aren't you?
Because you don't want her to be obsessed with germs.
She's at such a young age. She just came back back from nursery this is about a month and a half ago
and was like because of the coronavirus and you're like where the fuck did that come and because we
laughed she's just obviously heard it from another kid now she just throws it in like whenever she's
like she does a little cough and she's like i've got coronavirus and because it's because she's three she just can't she doesn't know and she's just repeating
it it's so funny however we've got mates in comedy you've got kids who are like eight nine
ten eleven years old they are smart enough to to see death statistics on the news and whatever
even if they're not fully concentrating, they're taking that in.
Etta's age, this isn't registering.
She won't remember it in six months.
At that age, it could be fucking really messing with these kids.
I remember when I was that age,
I was terrified of my mum and dad getting a divorce.
That was the scariest thing to me.
And any time they had an argument,
are you all right, Adam?
And any time they had an argument...
Is it a really weird mood no no
no i just love the thought of correlating a global infectious pandemic with you watching all your
mom and dad's mates getting divorced going they're gonna catch it that's what i mean though but i
always used to think any time that they had an argument and stuff i was like shit this is the
one this is fucking it do you know what i mean Why were you so worried about that? I don't know, really.
I mean, I don't think I really cared.
Did you not want them to be happy?
I was, again, I was eight, nine, ten.
You're not fucking thinking like that.
But that was your big fear?
Yeah.
I was really scared of my gran dying because she smoked.
And what I remember one night when I was a kid,
I just cried uncontrollably.
And they couldn't soothe me
because I'd just got it in my head that if you smoke
you die and I just
watched my gran smoking and it's because
at that age, 8, 9, 10 years old
you're quite bright in a way
you're taking all things in and I'd been
I'd seen adverts about smoking
all of this warnings and I was like well I
love my gran and she's smoking
and I got myself so fucking wound up with it
that I was inconsolable.
Also, the adverts-
I was really scared of Stephen Gerrard signing for Chelsea for a while. It looked really
close for a bit.
Were you alright?
Yeah.
Did you- we're inconsolable?
Like, just for a little minute there.
It's not real, Adam. It's not real.
The adverts for fucking smoking as well are horrific. If you're a child watching that,
the amount of fucking anti-smoking adverts there are where one person takes a little bit of a fag and then they suddenly turn into like fucking brown
sludge and shit if you're looking at that you think yeah it'll fuck your fucking head up massively
yeah any any parents like you know when you're like you can't smoke in front of children that's
a whole new level i wouldn't let children see the cigarette packet anymore because they are
basically a 3d horror fucking film aren't they like it's
absolutely there was a point there was a point when it was non-smoking adverts was like a doctor
and he go i uh i'm a doctor do or don't smoke and then that was the end of the advert and then that
was it and then about 2006 they were like let's up this fucking ante and then it was like they were smoking and like
fat particles were dripping on the floor and shit and people were like collapsing and stuff
and you're like holy fuck as a non and never smoker i think that's good yeah i don't like
i don't know but if you're seven and you're watching that and one of your parents or your
grandparents smokes,
it'd be fucking terrifying.
Yeah, but then I think that's good
because then the parent might be like,
I need to stop smoking so that my kid's not worried about it.
Yeah, but yeah, I get it.
There's a fine line between that,
warning them off it and giving them horrific fucking nightmares
because some of those cigarette packets...
I used to have
a bit about this on stage if you still smoke these days you do not give a fuck because what was my
bit i can't even remember it where you're like i was behind a guy at the counter and they've got
like the bulletproof metal sheets and and the the lad had never worked on the counter before
and the guy was directing him
from the illnesses on the warning pictures like no mate to the left no that's mouth cancer no
that's not i want sovereigns three to the left the tracheotomy that's my brand and i know it's
an exaggeration but it literally is that graphic with cigarette packets they're like all the same
color all the same print and then the fucking print. And then the fucking horrific warnings.
Like I'm all for it. I don't want kids thinking they can smoke,
but I would not want Etta even looking at a cigarette packet at this age.
It's frightening.
But it does frighten.
I mean, it works.
You're right.
It does work, but they are frightened of COVID.
Now they are definitely afraid of COVID.
And there aren't any fucking, well,
there are like rules and bubbles and things in
school but they just don't fucking work because schools aren't designed like hospitals are like
hospitals are designed to contain diseases and stuff and there's a school's designed
there's wings and yeah shit if you think about a school right what a school is designed for
is to house the most amount of kids in the
smallest fucking area and it's got to be built in a way that a thousand kids can get to their
lessons within five minutes all at once yeah yeah that's literally how they're built and the way
they behave the younger you are the more i remember going to my mate's club night and everyone was
just bumping into me and you're like yeah because I'm 30 and I don't like being bumped into
because I like my personal space.
That just happens naturally as you get older.
These are all 18, 19-year-old students,
and they're used to being corridors at school and then university
where they're crammed in.
And they're used to barging past each other.
So how can you ask enough kids at school to be like,
you just stay away and stay there?
They don't give a fuck.
I've got a great story about how cramped corridors are at schools so one time i was teaching at this school
and uh we were in you know every school has like one of those buildings that was a temporary
building but was up for like 30 fucking years the annex yeah yeah yeah so it was in that and the um
the corridors were fucking ridiculously small.
They were so small that a one-way system was operational
because otherwise people couldn't move.
And kids were square.
I was fucking ridiculous in there.
It looked like I was wearing the fucking building.
Do you know what I mean?
And so I'm walking like this, and I was having a bad day anyway, right?
And I could feel these two kids behind me trying to push past me.
But because it's so tight, you can't really even turn around. And so I'm walking. I feel these kids pushing behind me trying to push past me but because it's so tight you can't really even
turn around and so i'm walking i feel these kids pushing me that's me i could hear one of them
going and i was like oh they're crying oh you're trying to push past me because you're crying and
you're embarrassed because you're crying in public well you know what sometimes people get embarrassed
and sometimes people cry and you just gotta
fucking get over that so what i started doing because i'm a petty motherfucker how old were
you at this point 30 um so so uh oh i'm a grown adult uh so but but what i did because i'm petty
is i was like you know what i'm gonna walk even more slowly just so you can learn that you don't
push past people just because you're having a bad day and you're fucking crying. So I walked really
slowly like this just to make a point. And then I went into my classroom and these kids burst past
me and I turned around to look and see exactly who it was. And one of them was having an asthma attack.
Oh my God.
Freddie, you know you're not going to be doing teaching anymore.
I don't think that's a bad thing.
You've never really enjoyed it, Davia.
You hate children.
There are bits about it that I really, really like,
and to be honest with you,
it is the most rewarding and the most fucking infuriating job in the world
at the same time the amount of
hours that you have to put in on pointless shit is fucking insane every teacher does like 50 60
hour weeks it's fucking bollocks um and it's most of the time it's not even on it's not even on
stuff that like that matters do you know what i mean just the curriculum you got to tick all the
boxes yeah so here's the thing right you can't just fucking just the curriculum you got to tick all the boxes yeah so
here's the thing right you can't just fucking rock up or you shouldn't just rock up and be like
all right okay we're gonna learn about um of mice and men so here's some fucking mice and men books
i'm gonna read mice and men and that's gonna be a fucking hour do you know i mean like what should
happen is every lesson should have a starter every lesson should have something called a plenary at the end,
which checks for knowledge and learning and shit like that.
But your plenary can't be,
oh, John, what's the name of fucking Lenny's friend?
Oh, you know, you, what's this, what's that?
Because you've only checked the learning of three people.
It has to be an exercise that checks the learning of 30 kids
within five or 10 minutes,
which is fucking impossible if you think about it as it is.
But there's also shit like differentiation and stuff like that.
Within a classroom of 30-odd children,
they're all going to have different problems.
You're going to have some who are more clever.
You're going to have some who are a bit fucking stupider.
You might have one or two that are dyslexic.
You might have some that have some personal issues going on.
And you have to, every lesson has to be cultivated and managed around all those fucking things oh god it's impossible it's
absolutely the spannery kids at school it's like how are you here oh sometimes how are you here kid
you you're only just in were you in like a higher set i was in higher sets for some things middle
sets for others i don't think i was in the sets for some things middle sets for others
I don't think I was in
the bottom set for anything
so if you've never taught
bottom set before
bottom set is
so fucking
hang on let's just check
have you ever taught
bottom set before
let me just check
if you've never
I think
I think honestly
doing this podcast
with Adam
Mike
Mike
Mike counters about
40% of that
I was in top set for everything, so you can suck your mum.
Even R.E.?
Yeah, we were both in top set for everything, the entirety of school.
I play the card.
I'm actually very intelligent.
How long were the lessons?
But some top sets in some schools are like middle sets in other schools.
Yeah.
So it's not really like all top sets are the same.
Mate, Adam never misses an opportunity
to tell us how intelligent he was at school don't take it personally that's been a literally a year
long of like i did very well at school do you know what and i went on a chess competition
and won that do you know what's uh do you know what's brilliant though is if you teach bottom
set it's true though you do they are so are so fucking... You fucking... Disrespect me on my podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
On our podcast, you are disrespecting our co-host.
I was your priest.
All right.
If you teach bottom set, they are so docile.
They're too thick to be naughty, basically.
So they just sit there like...
Do you know what I mean?
I just get rewarded for not...
What?
Do you like if there wasn't a fire that week?
Do you all get mountain bikes?
Yeah, pretty much.
Because you have to reward them.
Because, right, imagine this, right?
So here's the thing, right?
Kids know that they're not clever, right?
So when you get to about year eight
and you start to see,
you start to go, hang about.
Hang about.
Why am I in the same set as this
fucking idiot ah i guess i'm a fucking idiot as well that guy's just shit himself and he's
humming the national anthem exactly i think i might need to work harder exactly right so you
get to a point where you realize that you're not that smart and there's just nothing that you can
really do about it it's not like you can get more brain, is there? You just fucking have to deal with that shit.
So you have to constantly be, like, encouraging them.
And that's why, like, every little thing,
you're like, oh, well done.
Because otherwise you just never fucking get anything done.
I remember PE with some of the slightly spannery kids.
We had a swimming baths at our school.
Yeah, we did as well.
And that, you know, when you're like...
Someone's shitting at once.
You know, we've talked about it before. that you know when you're like you know we've
talked about before you know when you're taking them taking the mickey when you've been around
them for so long watching some of them lads swim was like so like in in theory like a lot of like
like god he's a bit thick and makes things hard work and then you see them swim and we were an
all boys school we were fucking animals but still
everyone after a couple of years of watching them so it was like yeah it's not funny anymore
as you're watching someone be like there's fucking floats flying everywhere so you can
see a PE teacher going what am i doing with my actual life like put your head under the water
they have no they have no motor skills it's like dropping a cat in a river
they're just like
how did you get to school
if you're that scared
of a metre and a half of water
did they have to swim to school
did your school have a moat
one of ours pooed in the pool
one of ours did poo in the pool
yeah
pooed in the pool
his name was Yusuf
and he pooed in the pool
Yusuf
what year did Yusuf poo in the pool yeah his name was Yusuf and he pooed in the pool what year did Yusuf poo in the pool 10
please tell me you called him poosif they can call him anything because he had down syndrome
for the yeah he had down syndrome yeah not as fun story anymore he got told off surely didn't he
no he celebrated yeah yeah he got a fucking
got a certificate
at the end of the year
at the end of the year
assembly
got two mountain bikes
ten metres and one third
when I
by the way
when I say spannery
I just mean a bit thick
no we do too
alright
there was no
Down's syndrome
if anyone's like
Dan's been a real prick
about swimming
with Down's syndrome
I'm defo not
our kids were just thick and a bit dyspraxic but here's the, Dan's been a real prick about swimming with Down syndrome, I'm defo not. To be fair...
Our kids were just thick and a bit dyspraxic.
But here's the thing,
here's a genuine thing, right?
Imagine that you're in a set for school
and you know that the set is based on ability
and you're a kid with no disabilities
and then you look to your left
and there's a kid with Down syndrome
and you're like,
I'm the same as that.
That's shit.
Do you know what I mean?
And it's like, at least they've got an excuse. Do you know what I mean? Whereas I'm like, fuck, I'm the same as that. That's shit. Do you know what I mean? And like,
it's like,
at least they've got an excuse.
Do you know what I mean?
Whereas I'm like,
fuck,
I'm just thick.
So they know,
they do pick up on it.
I was teaching once,
I was teaching Shakespeare,
right?
We were doing like Romeo and Juliet
or some shit like that.
And the thing is,
is you don't just jump into Romeo and Juliet.
What you do is you do a week on Shakespeare
and Shakespeare's life and the globe,
and then you do a week on the fucking time that he lived in
and stuff like that, and the Tudor time,
or whatever the fuck it was.
And then you do like a week,
and you build it really, really gradually and really slowly.
I was about four weeks in.
We were literally at the end of Act One with the bottom set,
and we're going really
fucking slow and a kid puts his hand up and i'm like yes and he goes sir and i went yeah and he
goes was shakespeare real and i went he was yeah and he went oh and that was it that was it could you imagine if you if you he asked the
question you went fuck this but there was a minute i wonder how long you've been sitting on that
question he thought we did a week on shakespeare's life what was he thinking that i was just making
facts up about a random person fan fiction i like to think he grew up in England.
Why can't you do that?
Can't you go back once
and just TikTok you just losing your shit?
Go back for one more day in a school
and just burn the place down.
Not literally,
but just film all your classes
and just go fucking mental at some kid.
You stupid fucking cunt!
Of course he's real!
What have you been doing for the past six weeks?
You sick, wood-headed fuck!
Wood-headed!
You used to die, Fred.
I, um, I, I, well, the thing is,
is I honestly, it doesn't bother me that they're thick.
It doesn't bother me that they don't try.
Yeah, but content
is king. It's just all
the other shit that goes along with teaching, all the fucking
meetings and stuff, man. Go viral
with that though, lad. It's so much easier being a
comic, innit? Just like,
write some bits, tell some stories,
learn them, get good at them, do a bit
of driving, bit of a ball, like, some promoters
are knobs, some comics are hard work, but you
just get to do your own thing. I watch
people in bands and think, that looks like
a fucking ball ache, rehearsals,
instruments. Carrying your own amp.
Oh, just a fucking nightmare, and
then someone's guitar's out of tune or whatever,
and then all these jobs just seem so hard
and I'm just like, come on comedy, come back,
it's so easy just talking. You know what I've been fucking doing
recently, don't you? So they've shut the schools at the moment
and they're not opening any time soon,
so it's like I'm not going back there.
So I have been doing part-time delivery driver for Iceland.
Hang on.
Mama like that, mama like that.
Tell a story.
Well, there's no story to it,
but there is a moment in your life.
There is a moment. your life there is a moment
he's playing our tune
can you hear it
oh right
but there is a moment
where you go
a year ago
I was a professional comedian
doing my dream job
and now
I'm gonna put it loud
I'm fucking Iceland
I'm an Iceland part time
yeah
I'm fucking
dreadful.
Carlisle!
All is forgiven!
And it's up there.
What would you give
for that?
100 quid in Grimsby
now?
It's 10 hours work
at fucking
Iceland.
Is it a 10 in an
hour?
What?
Less than that.
£9.69.
£9.69.
Do you think
promoters are ever
going to pay
decent wedge ever again?
Like, even in, like, five years, it's 2026,
and people will be on the forums, comedians will be like,
bloody hell, it really should be more than £120
to close the fuck chuckle hut in Hull.
And the promoters are going to be like,
well, well, oh, you're whinging them out of the fees, are you?
I remember back in 2021 when you were working at fucking there's a comedian that we both know whose name i'm not
going to say but they put a post on facebook a little while ago where they were like guys
guys i have just been offered a gig uh for a corporate zoom gig and it's it's just it's 400 pounds and i'm not going to do it because i just
feel like it should be more money than that but i won't judge you if you take it but i'm just
letting you know that i feel like you know we have to have standards in our industry and it's like
are you fucking you're switching your fucking webcam on and talking for 20 minutes, 400 quid.
I mean, by the way, if you're thinking,
God, comedy can't be in a bad way,
there's not a lot of those gigs knocking about.
There's not a lot of those gigs.
Most of them are like 25, 50 quid on Zoom at the moment.
I did one of them yesterday.
I did a Zoom corporate yesterday afternoon,
and it was the first one.
So I did a few in December, as I told you about.
This is the first one I did where I couldn't see anyone.
This is the first Zoom thing I've done with no front row.
Oh, dreadful, isn't it?
It was just me.
So it was on Zoom, so you can see all their names in their little black boxes.
Not one face for 25 minutes.
And just had to keep talking and tell me face I was smashing it even though
I was hating it. Did you laugh
at any point? Because I've
done a Zoom gig. I did, I think
it's the Kiri's one.
COVID Arms.
Where the only person you can hear is Kiri
and she's in a small box
and she's like distracted because she's comparing
the show. She's like it works like this
and you get to the end of the bit and there's a pause for the laughter in your head.
Nothing happens and you go, oh my God, I'm filling my own pause for laughter.
That's what I did.
I had pause and I have a little look down at my little notes of what next bit I'm doing.
And then I just go, yeah, so I've been losing weight.
Did you ever do any
of the driving gigs? No. So I did, I did a few. Yes, I did, Freddie. Thank you. Oh yeah. Well,
well, I did some in December, right? And they were like, guys, we encourage you guys and guys and
girls and people in cars. We encourage you that if you find a joke funny, we want you to honk at those horns.
We want you to flash at those lights.
It's going to be great.
Let's try it on three.
You know, that fucking shite.
But the thing is,
is like what would happen
is that you tell a joke
and then they'd laugh
and they go,
ha, ha, ha.
Oh, beep, beep, beep,
flash, flash, flash.
So there's a five secondsecond delay between them laughing,
remembering that they have to do the honking.
But you can't fucking time for that.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's impossible.
You tell the joke, then you go,
and then I said cucumber.
And also, yeah.
So anyway, I was...
A honk of a horn, the instinct is like, oh!
But honking horns is very rarely a good thing.
You're never like,
smash that down about there, kid.
Well done.
I like your hair, lad.
But you'd finish your joke,
oh, it's a cucumber.
And then you'd move on,
you'd go, so I was in the,
and then they'd go,
you'd be like, oh, fuck this.
But, you know.
Yeah, I'm not going to do any driving gigs.
I've stuck to me guns for
nigh on a year now i've not yeah i think they're dying on the only the only zoom gigs i've done
have been corporates and i've not done any driving gigs i'll do those outdoor ones again in the
summer if they if they become a thing they were great they were fun yeah still not quite you know
got i'm saying no no no no no i i i'm genuinely i'm sort of mean that i think
everyone's experience okay so we've got the podcast we've we've grafted but we've been lucky
a lot of people are having to graft at real things and i do think post like pandemic i really think
fees for comedy are gonna be in a weird place I think there's some places that will pay what they used to pay.
And I think a lot of people will be like,
I think we now see the value of gigging for 20 minutes.
And I think it's 80 quid, 100 quid at best.
Do you know what I think they'll do?
I think what will happen is the opener and middles fees will suffer.
But I think the headline fees will get bigger.
You've been saying this for ages.
I've said this for years.
Yeah, I think it's going to go to the American model
where it's Freddie Quinn plus support.
But why would that person not go and do a tour show?
So, no, well, because everyone's going to take a step down now, I think.
So I think that people who would do a tour show
would now headline those gigs for three, four
hundred quid and I think that
people who would not bother
touring because they're on TV all the time would now
take one down and start to tour
a bit more and stuff like that. I think everyone's
going to push everyone out. I don't know
I don't know how that works at the Frog or
or like the Comedia
in Brighton. It's a very big shift culturally
I actually think
you're both wrong for now. I think
that's going to happen long term.
I think in 5-10 years maybe
it'll be slightly accelerated by what's happened.
I do think it will go more that way where venues
will be like look we need you to put
30 of the bums on. We need you to pay
your own fee by getting the people in the
door. That's what we need you to do. Not on a
weekend. These aren't weekends.
No, that's what I'm thinking.
Not necessarily immediately, but a bit
further down the line.
I think the independent promoters will be
the first to try.
Yeah, that model
sounds more like a mid-weeker, doesn't it?
No, no. A weekend for
independent promoters and shit like that,
I think that'll be the first thing to
happen. Because somewhere like the Frog & Bucket, the Comedy Store, Comedia, a weekend for independent promoters and shit like that, I think that'll be the first thing to happen
because somewhere like the Frog and Bucket,
the Comedy Store, Comedia, Hot Water...
Glees.
Glees, they are their own brand.
Do you know what I mean?
And people are going to want to go because it's that club.
On a Saturday night, they can do 600 tickets a night.
Whereas if it's comedy night at the fucking, you know...
The Fuck Chuckle hut.
Yeah, the fuck chuckle hut upstairs in the pub
where there's 200 people,
or, you know, in the function room of the hotel, you know, gigs,
I think that they will start to pay for your, you know,
acts with TV credits and profiles.
Pay a bit more.
I don't think that's wrong.
I think the idea that it's going to be names headlining the Glee,
the Comedia, the store, is such a massive shift.
I don't think the store will ever necessarily go that way,
but I think there will be some clubs.
I think it's possible at the Glee.
I think it's possible at the Frog.
I think it's possible at Comedia where they go, right,
the Oprah in the middle get 120 quid,
but the headliner gets 400.
I don't think we're that far away from that.
Do you know what else technically needs to fuck off as well?
It doesn't make any sense for a comedy club
or comedy promoter to always pay the same fee to close.
That doesn't make any sense.
And if you don't know, there's a weird rule,
not rule, but like a
tradition in stand-up, that
basically a slot at a night is a fee
and if it's found
out that other comics are getting
paid more than other comics, it doesn't
half-generate some bad, like, bitching,
doesn't it? Well, actually, when you
think about it, it's completely
sensible.
Because, number one, not every comic brings the same thing
there are some comics that are better than others obviously but there are some comics who have more
profile than others and will bring more um you know more people and save you money on advertising
so it makes sense that money gets passed on to them essentially um but also as well it's about
how well they negotiate you know
like there's there's no fucking plumbing comedy forum where every plumber goes leaky tap 50 quid
do you know they just fucking charge what they want to charge yeah but it i think it's the the
idea of a circuit is where that changes it's not a plumbing circuit do you know i mean it's a comedy
circuit it works because everyone is willing to do the same thing for a plumbing circuit do you know what i mean it's a comedy circuit it
works because everyone is willing to do the same thing for the same money i i know what you're
saying and it you know it already does happen when a big name act you know if a club wants a big name
act like i book a couple of gigs sometimes the promoter the people who promote the gig will go
can you get us a name this guy you have to give us some more money, and I'll pay a little bit more.
And comics don't moan about that, because if I put Russell Kane in Runcorn,
then he gets a bit more, because he'll sell 50 or 100 of the tickets himself.
So he earns that money by being who he is.
But if you're just putting another circuit comic on...
Yeah, if you value different circuit comics against different circuit comics,
it is going to get pissy, isn't it?
Yeah, but I think it's the natural progression of things.
I think it's the natural progression of things,
especially now where there's so many different social media platforms
and we've all got our own little profiles and people.
But I think it'll be a good thing
because I think it will encourage people to cultivate a following,
which a lot of comics are so fucking lazy in doing. And do you it's going to take it's going to take people like the blairs
it's going to take younger promoters to change the game because as we know this industry is run by
older guys and it's very slow paced if you look at the pace of the rest of the circuit trying to
copy what hot water have done no one's managed it i mean they've laid out the blueprint of success yeah i know there's there's things like paul smith but the
way they've used social media and the rest of the circuit like yeah we could do some videos and
like it's been painful it's been it'll be younger promoters changing the rules it's been four years
now since hot water uh opened up and they put cameras, really high quality cameras, and recorded all of their shows.
There are how many clubs
that are doing the same thing as Hot Water now,
as well as Hot Water when they started?
No, none.
Not many.
None.
So nobody is at the level of Hot Water of 2017.
Yeah, yeah.
So that's mental to me.
They've tried.
For years.
They've tried, they just haven't worked it out.
We work in a fucking oil tanker of an industry
that is constantly so slow to fucking react to any change at all.
Well, I'm not saying your theories about where we're going are wrong.
I just see it as it'll be so glacial, the movement on it,
because they're like, well, we do what they do,
and they've always done it the way we do it.
Like, the way weekend comedy clubs are set up now
is almost identical to when they were set up in the early 90s.
Yeah, there's very little innovation because there's a...
A lot of copying.
There's an attitude of, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Do you know what I mean?
And it's not, like, it is getting broke, but it's bending.
Like, it hasn't gone... Yeah, it's like, it is getting broke, but it's bending. Like it hasn't gone.
Yeah,
it's bowing in the middle.
It's bowing and eventually
it'll just collapse
in on itself.
But if there was
a big problem
and the circuit snapped
and everyone would go,
oh shit,
we need to change it
because it's bowing.
They're going,
no,
it's just about
keeping us up.
It's fine.
It's fine.
Oh shit.
Then it's gone.
And I can understand
weekend comedy clubs,
they just want to pay
a headliner 180
and not 400.
It makes it cheaper to not top load a fucking bill.
Yeah.
You know?
I think we need to have a break
because we're an hour and five in and we haven't had one yet.
Okay.
Probably a good shout, isn't it?
Let's have a break.

104 with Frederick Quinn, Adamski Rowe, and me. back to the final section of episode 104 104
with Frederick Quinn, Adamski
Rowe and me

it really creeps me out when you talk like this and you know it does
I really wish you were wearing
headphones right now because it makes it
a lot worse
you don't like it, you sound creepy
you sound like you're going to do something to my daughter
and I don't like it
well you haven't got a daughter yeah, future daughter wow things are moving quick in this
relationship on this be upon one night fucking prego the next um freddie carl loves giving adam

Let's clear out your inbox
Would you rather
Sapning Grandad
Dave
Rowy Bag
Sense8
And Finn
Would you rather
Only wash your hair
Twice a year
Or only be able to
Check your phone
Once a day This includes Just gl to check your phone once a day.
This includes just glancing at the time or a random notification.
If a day is too easy, how about, no, I reckon, no, a day.
You're right, mate, a day.
So, washing your hair twice a year or checking your phone once a day.
I'm looking at you because you A. have hair
and B. love
dead phone
so a couple of questions I need you
I know they're not being added
so if someone rings me
does that count
now you can use it as a telephone
you can't be like
you can phone me once a day
can I text if you text me so you
can use it as for messaging and you can use it to call people but all my other apps are locked all
the apps all the social media it's a one day check i'm fine with that then absolutely and like i don't
think i'd necessarily what i don't think i'd find it easy but like for someone to say
you can't do it
that's what I need
I need someone to lock me off from it
I can't wash these luscious locks twice a year
Adam was watching a video
we were already
he went
40 seconds
yeah
and I nearly
flicked his phone out of his fucking hand
listen
listen
look
I am addicted to my phone
but having that restriction would help me
I can't wash these luscious locks twice a year.
These get greasy in like a day.
Your hair's been on strong form recently.
Uh-huh.
And I need to keep it up.
I wash my hair every day.
You're not meant to.
Can you, you know when it says you can only wash your hair twice a year?
Yeah.
Can you wash your body, but just not your hair?
So put like a little hairnet on and then wash your body.
So yeah, you're allowed to shower.
It's just, it's not, your hair has to stay unwashed.
So by what, week three it gets really fucking...
But there are people who don't wash their hair.
It's like a well-known method of hair care.
Vegan, hippie, gobshite cunts who stink of shit and live in fields.
No, no, no.
It's quite popular to use dry shampoo and shit like that.
Dry shampoo is still washing your hair.
No, it's not really.
It's not, though, is it?
It's not really.
What is it, then?
It's just, that's like saying using gel is washing your hair, isn't it?
Dry shampoo is just like a product, which is used to clean your hair.
It's like if your missus...
It doesn't wash your hair.
It's to make it look like you've cleaned your hair
Yeah
Yeah
What you've done is heard shampoo and gone
Yeah it's like shampoo
It's just a fucking spray
That zhuzhes you up a bit
It's like
I don't know what the fuck I'm on about
As I said zhuzh
I was like
You're the baldest cunt in the north west
This is quite easy for you two innit
Because you two are
Oh yeah it's not for me
Well
Your hair
What your beard Yeah Do you wash that Yes Are you mad It isn't it because you two are for me oh yeah it's not for me well what your beard
yeah
do you wash that
yes
are you mad
it doesn't look like you do
it doesn't though
does it
if I told you
we'd never wash that
would you be surprised
can I
I honestly
Freddie
looks like a man
what
hang on
let me just word this
just leave it there
who could stink a bit.
But can I just say,
he really doesn't.
He is one of the better smelling comics knocking about.
Yeah.
But he looks...
He looks...
And just to clarify,
this was you choosing your words carefully.
You look like you could stink. You look like you could stink.
You look like you could stink.
That's a compliment.
You don't stink.
Mate, come on.
You look, you know what I mean?
You look like you could stink.
Mine is always,
mine is always the last bus seat
to be fucking sat on next to me.
Do you know what I mean?
Oh, God.
That's more of a space issue though, isn't it?
Yeah, it's coming out something one cheek in the aisle how often do you wash your uh your muzzy your beard my beard daily daily yeah well when you
say wash it i run water through it to wash it i don't I don't fucking I don't fucking when do you use shampoo
yeah like a
when do I use shampoo
um
I use shampoo
whenever I have a shower
so yeah daily
alright
on your beard
yes
for the Christmas
where are you going
headwise here
you're not
you're sort of flirting
with the baldacious
aren't you
so I
I would be shaved
now
you need to
you need to commit to that
and make it look like
you decided
yeah but it's locked down innit so I can't fucking get rid of it usually I'm a number one guy I would be shaved now, but lockdown is... You need to commit to that and make it look like you've decided.
Yeah, but it's lockdown, innit?
So I can't fucking get rid of it.
Usually I'm a number one guy.
Just get a bich.
Oh, no, don't go too shiny.
Just clip it number one.
Yeah, that's what I usually do, but there's no barbers, is there?
Why don't you just do it yourself?
Because I have a head trimmer, but it's in my old flat that's flooded,
and I just can't justify buying a new one.
So I just haven't yet.
I love how frugal you are.
It really makes me laugh.
Oh, yeah?
I love talking money with Freddie,
because it goes from me being the older guy
to feeling like the fucking young guy instantly.
As soon as we're talking about money, and Freddie's like,
well, I think it'd be sensible to do this and this,
and I'm like, yeah, I've just bought a drill
with some money, I think you're so
much more switched on with money
stuff than I ever was, well the thing is
I spent
many years of my life as a
degenerate gambler with absolutely no
money at all and so now I've gone
the other way, so I was massively addicted to
gambling, especially in my early 20s
you're more addicted to gambling than drinking and you're quite addicted to gambling especially in my early 20s you're more addicted
to gambling than drinking
and you're quite addicted
to drinking aren't you
because you love a bevy
but I remember
we went Chester races
and you didn't even
have a drink all day
because you wanted to
gamble more than
you wanted to drink
yeah yeah 100%
that's so good
that's like when I
used to go clubbing
and people were like
well I'm not having a beer
because I want to do drugs
that's like commitment
if someone said to me
you can either never
drink or never gamble again i'd probably never drink again
jerry i love gambling i love it so you were a degenerate gambler and now and now i'm a responsible
gambler so adverts for gambling are really fun at the moment aren't they like we can get great odds
but obviously don't fuck up your life and we'll put um limits on how much you can spend because it's really dangerous but come on sign up for a membership you know what i'm really fucking
sick of the gambling adverts where it looks like we're all mates do you know i mean those adverts
meet the thinker he's working out all the odds it's like fuck off like it's oceans eight yeah
exactly some sad wanker in his mum's spare room.
I bet both teams to score because they have an average of seven shots on target.
My favourite.
Me, gut shot.
Oh, I just fucking think this.
Oh, fuck off.
I bet like an alcoholic auntie.
Like, I really do.
Like, I'm talking about horses.
I like the uniforms
and the names
I like your mum
on national day
yeah yeah
that's how I bet
and I
I ended
by the time I'd
got home
on the day we went
to Chester races
I exactly
broke even
and that included
getting hammered all day
and a massive Indian
in taxis home and stuff
which is basically
winning isn't it
yeah yeah yeah
it was really really good but like it was doing Freddy's heading because he was he had a form book and taxis home and stuff. Which is basically winning, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was really, really good.
But it was doing Freddie's heading
because he had a form book
and everything.
He's like,
actually, I think you need to go for...
Of course you need a form book.
Why would you not have a form book?
But you were figuring it all out
and every race by...
You're such an old man.
I wish I had a spare pipe
for you right now.
But did you win, Fred?
No, he didn't.
He lost the fairing.
No, I won.
I won over 200 quid
no you didn't
yes I did
and I'll tell you
exactly
what horse turned it around
for me
it was Sir Dragonay
oh yeah
you won right at the end
you were having a miserable day
for a while
no I was on the fourth or fifth race
Sir Dragonay won it 10 to 1
and I had 20 or 30 quid on it
yeah
and that horse
I've bet on since
and it's a fucking beast
but the yard
that the horse is from
very rarely
put in a horse
with like no fucking
yeah yeah yeah
like if they were
putting something in
it means something
do you know what I mean
Freddy keep talking sexy
for the ladies listening
tell me about that stable
ladies get some kitchen roll
you're going to be
pretty damn now
I love it though
I will bet on
fucking anything
I will
football
tennis
horse racing
boxing
UFC
even though I don't
really like it
I'll bet on
fucking anything
yeah I'll bet on
the UFC tomorrow
because I'm watching it
because it's just
absolutely
interesting
you got a tipster
have you got a tipster
have I got a tipster
yeah I'll let you go
anywhere for your tips
so there's a really
good place that you can go called OLBG.
No, no, no.
I think you need to try bettinggods.co.uk.
Yeah, I think what Freddie would say is bettinggods.com
for all your tips.
So I know the guy from Betting Gods personally,
and he wanted me to do some stuff
where we were going to go to horse racing meets and we were going to go to horse racing meets
and we were going to go to football matches and stuff
and we were going to do video bets and stuff like that.
Fucking COVID.
Well, this is exactly it.
But I was going to go hay dock with him at the end of...
Yeah, they're one of our sponsors now.
Very kindly so.
Oh, nice.
Three-month sponsorship deal.
We didn't quite understand what they were at
first but now we've got it worked out well i get all the i get all their emails and um through
because the guy signed me up for you know for free anyway for lols that's so funny so because
you just did you waste a lot of money when you were young young oh i spunked everything away so
when i was at it started when I was at college.
Did you go Newman?
Yep.
So you'll know the opposite Newman, there was that Ladbrokes.
Yeah.
I literally spent about 30% of my time at college in that Ladbrokes.
And that's a Ladbrokes, not in the middle of Preston,
in the middle of Avonham, which is one of the roughest bits of Preston.
I'll tell you how much time I spent in bookies.
You know the fixed odds betting terminals
where they have roulette and stuff?
I could look at the animation
and instantly tell you what number it was going to be.
There was no point even looking.
I'd go, 22, like that,
because I'd know the recording from it.
I'd recognise the recording.
I gambled that much.
Bookies are grim places, aren't they?
I don't mind people who bet online and everything,
but actually going in the bookies.
I prefer going in the bookies than betting online.
Boxing day, I've told you this before,
that's when I bet more than any other day.
Because I go to the pub at like 11 in the morning
with my mates from school,
and we just bet on all the footy.
Because I enjoy watching footy when it's not Liverpool anyway,
but I really enjoy it if I've got a bet on it.
So if Leicester are playing Tottenham,
and I've got Vardy first goal, 3-1,
that keeps me invested in the game.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, totally.
And I don't bet to win, I bet for fun.
So I don't care when they lose,
because it's such innocuous bets,
a couple of quid, three quid, whatever.
That's good betting, though,
because you were watching it anyway,
and you're just using betting to make it more interesting.
Yeah, that's all I use it for.
I bet specifically to win.
So you bet to bet.
Yeah, totally. So the thing is, I've reined it in a lot
because I could get myself to the point
where I would bet on literally fucking anything.
What's the weirdest thing you've bet on? What's the weirdest thing I've bet on literally fucking anything. What's the weirdest thing you've bet on?
What's the weirdest thing I've bet on?
Let's see.
The weirdest thing I've bet on.
Sport-wise?
Sport-wise.
Have you bet on other things?
Have you bet on, like, women's...
Oh, yeah, like women's Paraguayan fucking second division.
You couldn't think of a sport?
Think of a weird sport you'd bet on.
Women's.
One of them.
One of them fucking bullshit sports.
He gave himself a really wide berth with women's
because he knew that anything he picked
was going to be bullshit.
That's the way he worked.
Sorry.
Adam, you sexist fucker. That was so funny. Women's. Because you were like, women's because he knew that anything he picked was going to be bullshit. That's the way he worked. Sorry. Adam, you sexist fucker. That was so funny.
Women's. And then you started looking
around like...
Volleyball?
I think that's just
volleyball, isn't it? Oh, God.
Women's
paragliding.
Women's paragliding.
It's not competitive.
Women's, women's, think of us by ironing. No, paragliding. Paragliding. It's not competitive. Women's, women's.
Think of us by ironing.
No, no, no, no, ironing.
It didn't mean ironing.
Women's.
I would 100% bet on women's paragliding.
What about women's base jumping?
Oh, yeah, 100%.
Like live or die.
Is it?
Black or red?
Yeah. Oh oh she's disabled
does that mean
I get an early payout
she broke both her legs
on the landing
does that mean
they pay me out
oh cock fighting
I bet on cock fighting
in Asia
we're from the same place
we're from Penwitham
in Preston
and you're like
I bet on cock fighting
Catholics do it a little bit differently.
We drink the blood of Christ and we bet on cocks.
You bet on Asian cockfighting?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you win?
No.
Right, here's my question.
Right.
Because you stated, I'm just going to lawyer this up a second.
For the record, you stated on the record, like moments ago,
that you only bet to win. So what information? For the record, you stated on the record, like moments ago,
that you only bear to win.
So what information did you have for to pick a cock?
Praising South East Asia like me.
Hey, mister, mister.
We got great form on this cock.
Well, on that account... Which one you want?
This one's seven, I didn't this one's
seven I
know
this one's
three I
know
but got
bigger
thighs
even though
I didn't
have any
information on
it I was
still betting
to win I
wasn't betting
to have a
lovely time I
was betting so
that I could
win money
that was
that was the
end goal
I mean if
you're betting
on cockfighting
you're definitely
only betting to
win aren't
you
yeah PS
if you're at
a cockfight
you might as
well have a
flood
yeah I love going cock fights if anything if you don't bet that it's weirder
because that means you're just going there to watch i love the sport um did you was this when
you were in asia yeah yeah okay so this wasn't on like sky bet no no no i also wanted to i also
ray winston hello that cock's got a bit of fucking pluck ain't it i also wanted to i also ray winston hello that cock's got a bit of fucking pluck in it
i also wanted to bet on uh like like you can bet on fights over there so you can bet on like you
know they'll do like fucking mma fight and shit like that i also wanted to bet on but i couldn't
find one there is a thing where what they will do is they'll do greyhound racing in Asia. It's really popular. But what they do is they have a little monkey.
I'm so sure I know the joke in your head.
They have a monkey and they sew to the back of the greyhound
as like a little pretend jockey.
And the monkey doesn't do anything.
The monkey's just fucking terrified, but it just looks funny.
A real monkey?
Yeah, a real monkey.
Check out Google...
Google!
Greyhound monkey racing.
Right, okay.
So I wanted to find one of those,
but I couldn't.
So you went to a cock fight?
You were there?
Yeah.
And you seen him?
Yeah.
And you didn't win?
No.
Was there only two cocks in the fight?
Or was it like a Royal Rumble?
What a Royal Rumble!
What, they announced someone knew
every 30 seconds
stone cold
steve coxton
the cock
the cock
come on
it's a cock bottom
stone cold
steve coxton
triple cocking
racing for peanuts greyhound monkey racing Oh, my God. Triple cocking.
Racing for peanuts, greyhound, monkey racing.
Where was this, by the way?
Thailand.
Thailand.
The monkeys themselves are not integral to the race.
It just looks funny.
Yeah.
But they've sewn them into the jacket, so the actual jacket has little arm holes,
and they literally just tie them up in there.
It's dead funny, because the monkey's like,
what is going on here?
Yeah, that's exactly what the monkey's like.
This isn't how I saw my day.
I've been sewn onto a fucking dog again.
It's a weirdly Lancashire monkey in fucking Thailand.
Why the fuck
Did I come to Phuket
Bastard
Ah yeah
In Thailand
Yep
Did you get stared
At a lot
Not so much in Thailand
But loads in Indonesia
Particularly Jakarta
What
Thailand
They've just
They've got more
Westerners knocking about
Well Freddie looks like
A lot of their
Patrons
Who are looking for a wife.
Oh, did I tell you about the time in Bali
when someone offered me sex with a child?
No.
Nope, didn't see that TikTok either.
Right, okay, so...
Why are all your stories sad?
Monkey sewn into jacket.
Child prostitution.
I don't want to go teaching no more.
So basically, in Thailand you didn't really get stirred at.
In Jakarta I definitely did.
Because nobody looks remotely like me over there.
They're all about half my size.
None of them are as broad as I am.
None of them have ears.
Godzilla!
And none of them have tattoos.
Exactly.
So they're looking at me,
but they're not looking at me out of like,
like,
they're looking at me the same way you would look at someone
who had like a horrific birthmark.
Do you know what I mean?
Like,
out the corner of your eye,
what the fuck is that type thing?
We just weirdly,
we talked about it last week on the pod.
My mate Sean was in Korea
and people would just come up to him
and take a
picture and go brad pitt you're like brad pitt really and it just because they'd seen so few
tall i don't think that happened to him oh jonah hill
money ball
just weird indonesian kids just getting on your knee Moneyball!
Just weird.
Indonesian kids just getting on your knee.
Oh, Brad Pitt!
What went wrong?
Little fucking street vendors coming home to their wives.
I was work today.
I served Henry VIII.
I saw Santa.
So anyway, right, I was in Bali. And the thing is, Bali's such an amazing place, by the way.
But I was in Bali. And what would with Bali is such an amazing place by the way uh but I I was in Bali
and what would happen is a lot of people a lot of times would ask me whether or not I wanted a
prostitute so people would come up to me and go oh you want lady yeah oh yes you do you want lady
and I would go no because I'd know and they would go oh like that and some of them would go you uh
I know
you want
you want
you want child
like that
and they'd do that
and I'd go
no
and they'd look at me
like
you do
do you know
like
like
they'd look at me
as if to say
well if you're not keen
then the market's gone on it
do you know what I mean
this guy not a leader
we might as well just we might as well just let him go now, quite frankly, because if
this guy isn't fucking interested... I would love it. Imagine the conversation with his
mates, like, he's not a pedo. I would love it if he just kept
guessing what you wanted to fuck. You want otter?
Smaller, smaller.
You want kimono dragon?
Kimono.
Did you just call that a kimono dragon?
A kimono dragon?
You fucking idiot.
A kimono dragon?
A dragon in a silky little dressing gown?
She fucking wants it, that one.
That dragon's a right slut.
Oh, that's so funny.
I love how you went from otter to kimono dragon.
Kimono dragon!
They're fucking big, them.
You wouldn't fuck them.
A kimono dragon?
Yeah, you would not fuck a kimono dragon.
No chance.
What's the biggest thing?
You wouldn't steal a car.
You wouldn't steal a car. You wouldn't steal a car.
You wouldn't steal a handbag.
You wouldn't fuck a kimono dragon.
That should be the advert.
Even if she wants it.
So I've had many conversations about if you had to fuck what animal,
what animal you'd fuck, right?
So my feeling is that it has to be size is important
because you don't want it to be too big
and you don't want it to be too small
because you'd literally rip it apart with your dick.
So it has to be a certain size.
So I think it has to be...
Lower, lower, lower.
I've literally got a gerbil looking at me going,
I can take it, big boy.
You ain't ripping shit.
I've got field mouse going,
get me a bit of lube.
I think it has to be,
it has to be size-wise between a dog and a cat,
but it can't be a dog or a cat,
because you don't want it to be,
like every time you see a dog,
you don't want to be like,
oh, I fucked a dog, haven't I?
What if you're thinking goat size
yeah
so I thought
sloth
was my animal
have you seen how scary they are
oh no
do you know how scary
that animal is
a sloth
yeah
they're dead slow though
I don't think people understand
how fucking terrifying
sloths are
cute
they're not
they are
they've got claws
about this long
and they crawl on the floor
once a week.
They're not.
Dead slowly though.
Do that face into the camera.
Honestly.
Freddie would be finished
for an hour and a half
before the sloth even said no.
Google sloth.
Now if you're watching.
In my fantasy,
what I'd do is
I'd have the sloth
gripping onto my forearm
like a branch
and then I'd just sort of like
pump myself onto it,
and that'd be done.
Wow.
Wow.
I think you want to go really big and lazy.
What, like an elephant?
Yeah.
You actually never forget, do they?
Yeah, but they wouldn't even feel your dick.
No, but think of the danger involved in fucking an elephant.
Think of the danger involved.
Imagine right now.
We are literally doing the Patreon bit that we did on Monday, though, aren't we?
Yeah.
Everyone that listens to the Patreon is going,
guys, you've literally did this bit on Monday.
Yeah, fucking buffalo.
Oh, my God.
How bad is your memory?
We did this on Monday.
Dan, you used to have a bit about her we used to
we did the
the bestiality bit
like
there's a certain size
where you should just be like
fair fucks
like if you're
it shouldn't count as a crime anymore
if you wanna fuck a rhino
there should be no laws against it
because if you're stupid enough to try
and you get away with it
then fair fucks to you
yeah I think
you can't rape a rhino
if you're fucking a rhino
it wanted it.
I think the same about, like, you know,
like, old women that give their money away and shit like that.
Like, I think, like, if you're stupid enough to lose your money,
then that's just, like, you've just got to fucking lose your money.
Freddie, how did you...
Did you just equate shagging a rhino to robbing a pensioner?
I might have, yeah.
One for one on the analogies today.
That's one for Adam, one for Fred.
How on earth did we get to that from where we were in that question?
Washing hair twice a week
let me tell you about Jakarta
I've seen that couple who've lost
775 grand and they're not
getting it back from the bank
so Barclays have taken them
to court because they were like Barclays
you should safeguard us we gave our money
someone rang them from Saudi Arabia
going your account has been hacked
and it's really
bad so what you're going to need to do is put how much have you got in there 700 grand you need to
put 250 grand in this account because and they were thick enough to keep going they even went
into barclays and answered all the safeguarding questions and And the last one, where they transferred 350 grand,
the guy in Saudi Arabia was on a fucking speakerphone
listening to what was going on.
And they still were like, yeah, we did it.
And Barclays have gone, I'm sorry.
If we give you all the checkpoints to do not do these things
and we're asking you the questions
and you're thick enough to let someone manipulate you that much,
it's your fault. There's only so many safeguards they can put in and they're like but we didn't know i think i think the the uh exception is people who are not sound of mind then i think
it's harsh 60 odd but yeah but the ones who are just thick and naive and think they know better
i genuinely think that most fraud is like if you
can get away with it then fucking fair fucks to you this is a different one this is a young couple
who got done in a cyber scam but oh sorry it's it's very similar though but this one um they
received an email from a they only noticed it was fake when they noticed the email was dot corn
not dot corn because they are an make a com yeah yeah by the way
I think there's a special place
in hell I don't believe in
but for people who
rip off pensioners
of their savings
it's happening so much
by like scamming them
about roofing stuff
like
oh yeah that's bullshit
I honestly think
there should be
I think they should be forced
to try and fuck a rhino
depends though
like if that old woman's
got no family
then what does she need
that money for
fucking hell no just give it to her it's just all he's done is gone It depends, though. If that old woman's got no family, then what does she need that money for? Fuck it.
No.
Just give it to her.
All he's done is gone.
Dan's gone one way, I'll go this way.
No, but do you know what I mean?
If she's got no children or grandchildren,
just pass that on too.
She's going to die anyway.
She's going to end up leaving it to the cat's home.
Cats don't need it.
I could use that to have a fucking good night.
How would you scam an old person?
How would I scam an old person? How would I scam an old person?
Hey, give us all your money, I'll double it.
How? How will you double it? How will you double my money?
I've got a system at the Stock Exchange.
Okay, well, I am retired now, but I spent 25 years at the Stock Exchange.
I'm really interested in these systems, though. Please explain.
Do you know anyone old who didn't do that job?
Do you know anyone old who didn't do that job?
And where do they live?
Shall we do a have a word?
Shall we fix someone's problem?
Do a have a word.
I feel like we've tried to get some have a words out recently and not been doing a good job.
Have a word from Anonymous.
All right, Darren and Adrian Urgent.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
I thought someone was calling me Adrian Urgent.
All right, Darren and Adrian Urgent one here.
I'd like you to have a word with me.
Been at uni now since September
and have managed to catch feelings for a roommate.
For context, she's a straight 10,
and I'm a 6.5 on a good day.
Why did you shake your head there?
I can't start with this story.
You shook your head like, silly boy.
I'm saying it's just a bad place to be in, isn't it?
Can we just finish it before we start passing judgment?
I feel like six and a half out of 10
can't fully comprehend what a 10 is.
Yeah.
Oh, no, she's a 7.8 with oh yeah yeah
he thinks he thinks that she's a 10 because he's a six and a half but an actual 10 you you can only
be a at least an 8.5 to properly and correctly classify a 10 and ps anyone who calls himself
for 6.5 is probably a 4. Because...
What, a 6.5 is like,
I don't look great,
but I'm short and fine
and my mum told me
I was attractive.
Like, don't get me wrong.
Once you bring in
the decimal system,
like, that's when
you're getting ropey, innit?
I get it.
What it is already is
he's put her on a pedestal
as this 10 out of 10,
but actually,
she probably won't be.
And she'll probably...
But she's just
well more attractive than him.
I think he's saying, I am okay, but she is hot.
So somehow, do you want to know a full story?
Somehow we've been shagging a fair bit,
but it's nothing more than sex.
But obviously I need to get over it.
Any advice, as I know you were dirty slags back in the day?
Yeah, we're all changed now.
First of all, before we answer the question,
I just want to know,
what do you think you are on a scale from one to ten?
Oh, my God.
What do I think I am?
You have to classify yourself.
He's a 6.5, according to him.
What would you give yourself?
Are we all on the same scale?
Yeah.
You're saying Margot Robbie's the same ten as the lady outside?
Yeah.
So people outside are like fours then?
Can I be on a seniors tour?
You know, like, there's golf for young men,
and then there's the seniors tour where it's like,
listen, he's had both his hips replaced,
but he can still drive off from the fucking team.
No, but that's part of the...
That's taken into context, innit?
Like, George Clooney is on the scale of nine.
Isn't he?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Even though he's old.
So that means we can't be more than fives then?
Why?
No, no, no, no, no.
You've just, it's objective, isn't it?
You're a good looking lad.
You've got youth on George.
He's old.
You know, you're younger.
Why am I trying to...
You've got fresh meat.
Your hair looks good on the third or fourth Instagram story.
Call back.
What would you think you are?
I'd probably say, in terms of looks,
maybe a three and a half.
You can't have a personality measure.
So, in terms of looks, what would be other...
Well, what I do to make up for that is I'm quite good at manipulating women.
So, what I will do is sort of like...
I didn't expect it!
I will...
I will take and find...
I will take and find a six,
and through actions and words,
I will make that six think that she's a four.
You horrible cunt.
What? Every...
Hey, he's not horrible.
He's resourceful.
Exactly. Every predator has to fucking be able to catch. You horrible cunt. What? Every, every... Hey, he's not horrible. He's resourceful.
Exactly.
Every predator has to fucking be able to catch.
Why would you call yourself in the modern climate that we live in,
in 2021, with Twitter working with you on it,
would you be like, as a predator?
As a predator.
I mean more like in terms of from an animal perspective.
I realise I've probably just cancelled myself, haven't I?
The thing is about gaslighting,
as a predator,
I mean, yeah, it's unethical,
but I'm fucking good at it.
That isn't even the worst thing that's been said
on this episode, never mind in general.
Okay, so if Fred's a three, I don't worry you.
I think I'm like 8.2.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think he's been pretty fair there, hasn't he?
You said George Clooney was a nine.
Yeah, well, exactly.
0.8.
Yeah.
0.8 off.
What's Dan then?
0.8 for his money.
So if Fred's a three, you're at 8.2.
What's Dan?
Right, right now, I'm probably in and around 3.5
I've had a bad one
what do you think you are
2004 though
I was pushing
late 7s
early 8s
beautiful
beautiful man child
like Mowgli
you obsessed with Mowgli
yeah you chag Mowgli
I'd love to be
look like Mowgli
little fucking
Indian hipster.
What?
It's like when he knew Mother Teresa.
What is this person's problem?
Freddie's getting the part back on track.
Because from what I read, he is a six and a half,
and he's shagging a ten.
And that was the end of the email.
Has he? He wants help. and a half and he's shagging a 10 and that was the end of the email have a word with me i am fucking a really i don't understand why he's upset it seems like everything's working out really well for him is he angry that he's paying online lessons. I don't... So I know a comedian who used to act as like a bit of a pickup artist.
You know, he read like that book, The Game.
Oh, yeah.
Being largely sort of...
Oh, yeah.
Which was directly quoted from about three minutes ago.
But like, it's about sort of like men
who are sort of conventionally unattractive
trying to pick up women who are out of their league,
and, like, a lot of them got very good at it, apparently, and could do it.
Yeah, it was seedy, and it was negative affirmation.
It's not a healthy way of going around meeting women, is it?
No.
Totally.
I do quite well, or at least I used to do quite well,
considering that I'm not blessed with looks.
That is a damning thing for your girlfriend to hear, isn't it?
If she ever watches this, I do quite well.
Well, I used to.
I retired, basically.
Yeah, put it in a disabled one to quote your last one.
No, I used to do a lot better than what I should do
in terms of, you know,
I don't think I was ever,
I don't think I ever went through
that much of a dry spell
because I think that I'm quite good at flirting
and I am quite good at like...
Would you please just flirt with me a bit now
just so I can see what it's like?
Well, no, because I don't have sex with you.
So it's...
Actually, no, I would.
I'd fuck you.
Right.
Because I know that you'd hate it more than I would.
Like Tyson.
Tyson fucks people.
He doesn't need to annoy them.
Remember that video?
I'll fuck you till you love me.
I really didn't expect Freddie Quinn to say that today.
And just no laughter from anyone.
I'd fuck you.
And I honestly, the temptation to just press stop on the record,
to let that be the end of the
pod it'd be like the end of the soprano season so whenever like what are you doing have you seen
episode 104 have a word as a cliffhanger um so what i was trying to say was that the person i
know used to like act as a pickup artist and he's very remorseful for it now and he thinks it's
disgusting and whatever um he said that when this was happening because what you're artist and he's very remorseful for it now and he thinks it's disgusting and whatever he said that
when this was happening
because what you're saying
is he's six and a half
just fucking take the fact
he's shagging a ten
the person I'm talking about
is probably about
a five or a six
and he said he was
regularly shagging tens
because there's pickup artists
she works
especially on attractive women
who are used to always getting
a lot of attention
and whatever
and he found it
really really horrible
because it was like he tricked
them into sort of sleeping with him and then the next day when they woke up they were like
how the fuck because it wears off immediately and even though you're having sex with very
attractive women as this guy is it's not enough because you want something more and that's what
he's saying yeah because you've used you've used almost inhumane like mind trickery to have a hot... It's a bit like
wearing a hat.
Honestly, what do I think
I am in a hat? On a good day...
One for one for one.
No, but I'm genuinely
like, with a hat,
I could pass as a
6.5, knocking on a 7.
As soon as I take the hat off,
girls are like,
oh, God, that looks like my granddad used to look like.
Like, it is...
That's a mental version of the same thing, is it's trickery.
Let me say, this guy, I think what the problem is,
is that he sort of thinks that he's getting something out of it.
So she's getting just as much out of it as he is,
because if you've ever, as I'm sure we all have, have you ever
fucked somebody who's just so
beneath you that you don't give a fuck
about them?
It's great!
Like...
Tell me more about your particular story
Freddie.
Who did the man sell you
in particular to that time?
So I used to...
Oh, you want a starfish?
You don't want child or woman, you have starfish.
Put it on your dick.
Like a vajazo for your dick.
I used to have a thing about this,
about how you can never fuck somebody that you love
the way you want to fuck them.
Because you'd never do that to somebody that you loved.
So if you have somebody that you just...
You can't piss on the mother of your children.
Exactly.
So, but if you have somebody
who's this grotty little fucking six and a half
of I think you're beautiful,
then you just fucking ride that dick
however you want to fucking ride it.
She's getting just as much out of this as he is.
Yeah, but the point is,
they're getting just as much out of it,
they're both getting sex out of it.
But he's fell in love with her, hasn't he?
Or he's falling in love with her.
He is worried about...
Because he can't believe his own luck.
No, but he's also...
I don't think he's about...
He knows what's coming.
He's peaked.
He can't enjoy the peak.
He knows.
Because he's looking at the fucking downhill that's coming after him.
Exactly.
He knows.
A 6.5 self-admitted.
So what he's doing right now is he's on top of a mountain,
and he's not fucking just admiring the view.
He's looking and going,
I've got to go all the way back down again.
Just admire the fucking view, mate.
If this is your peak, then this is your peak.
Most people never get to fuck a 10.
So just you having your cock and balls in somebody who's better looking than you by a lot
is a reward.
And it doesn't matter if it happens once more or for another 12 months.
Just enjoy what's happening.
Do you put your balls in as well?
I realised that I said that, cock and balls.
I fold it all in, mate.
Oh, God.
I want everything inside me.
Cock, balls, your left arm and one ear.
Get frisky.
He doesn't want to die on the peak. What, sorry?
We're doing that analogy. He doesn't want to come back down.
He doesn't want to come back down. But if she's a 10...
He doesn't want to die on the peak. No. He'd love to have a
arse tap out of his palm. He's scared of catching feelings, isn't he?
He's worried that she's
going to go, yeah, obviously
this is the end because look at
me and look at you. And then he's going to be
in a state. So you're saying ride it out and just take your medicine at the end because look at me and look at you and then he's going to be in a state so you're saying
ride it out and just take your medicine at the end of it i've heard a hundred percent enjoy what
you've got he can't enjoy what he's got right now because he's thinking about what will happen
later on he's thinking oh what if i never get to have somebody as good as this ever again
what if nobody else what if this is the best that just fucking let it be what it is do you know what i
mean yes freddie why is he i don't get why people over complicate shit like this he's been hurt
before and he's worried about what's coming oh what a fanny yeah how are you with breakups i've
never really hit the like i can't do it but i'm i think's obviously quite a self-aware. I've had a couple of bad breakups.
I've had some that I expected to be bad.
And then, like, literally two days later, I'm like, this is wonderful.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, I remember being with somebody for about 18 months.
And she was like, come and watch me.
It was like a Sunday morning, 9 a.m.
She was like, come down to Southport
and watch me run for Race for Life.
I'm raising money for my fucking nana or whatever.
I was like, alright then, okay.
And I just fucking didn't.
Because I can't be arsed getting up at, you know,
nine o'clock in the morning to watch somebody
wear a pink t-shirt and run around a fucking field.
That's a special type of lazy that isn't it
and you can't be bothered
to go and watch
someone go
yeah exactly
it was literally
exactly that
and then we
she finished the race
and we broke up
over the phone
I remember thinking
I've been literally
with her for 18 months
and I remember thinking
I don't care
at all
yeah
like
I thought I'd care more than this.
It probably took her months.
Like, that whole day was ruined.
She's crying into a medal.
Like, ahhh!
And you're like, do you know what?
Actually, I'm glad I stayed in bed.
Here's a fun fact.
When I got with her, she was thin,
and then my lifestyle rubbed off on her so badly
that she put about two and a half stone on.
Oh, yeah.
And then she ended up getting a personal trainer
to get the flab off and then ended up getting with him
and is now married to him.
So you're welcome.
You helped her find love.
Exactly.
And he goes to all her races.
Well dodged.
Can we do one more of these
can we do one more
that was so good Adam
Adam Smith
nope
from Joe
alright lads can you please have a word
with my Christian
mate who's constantly falling in love with random women
but won't do anything about it because of his faith.
I've tried to tell him it's all bollocks,
but he won't listen.
Cheers, lads.
Love the pod.
See, I know what that is already as well.
It's not because of his faith.
It's because he's a pussy.
He's using Christianity as a front
for the fact that he's a bit nervous around the girls.
That's what it is.
Yeah.
Yeah, and it's...
How Christian is he?
Maybe he's nervous around the girls because of his faith,
do you know what I mean?
Maybe that's his entire personality.
Have you ever spoke to a Christian?
Like, all they talk about is fucking the bread and that,
and it's so annoying.
The bread?
The bread and that.
The little fucking cracker
that they give you
with the fucking
ribena
the little cracker
and the ribena
you know what I mean
I was like oh
communion
yeah
and you got in that
catholic school
did you
what did your dad
have to do
in that cupboard
but like
I think
I reckon what happens is
he's got friends
and he starts talking
to them
and they're just like,
ugh, this again.
Yeah, we get it.
He fed loads of people with a fucking one meal deal.
Well done.
Why are you telling us again?
Where's the news stories and that?
Do you know what I mean?
And he knows he's dull as fuck
so he won't go near these women.
No, I think he's just using it as a mask
because he's afraid.
Because he's a...
Yeah, what...
Is he...
It's pretty strict Christianity
that doesn't let you go anywhere near girls.
I think that's priesthood, isn't it?
Yeah.
No, I know.
Born-again Christians are super strict.
Mormons?
Is it Mormons?
Meh.
Did I ever tell you about the...
Are Mormons Christians?
They are like...
Are they a form of Christianity?
Pretty sure.
It's a really, like, off the fucking main...
No, they've just got a third book, haven't they?
Yeah, so...
They've got the trilogy.
So Mormon is Joseph Smith,
and he finds some fucking plates in the desert.
He finds some gold plates in the desert, right?
And an angel comes to him
and says look man you've got to fucking transcribe these plates right yeah so he gets a mate who's
like his rich mate and he says look rich mate i've got some fucking gold plates uh and i need
to transcribe them an angel's given me to them and they're in this fucking box here they've got
to be dark because i'm using this fucking seer stone thing to you know to transcribe them so i'm going to read it out and you're going to write it down and his fucking
gullible rich mate is like okay and so he literally reads out this whole fucking you know third
testament if you like yeah and then the guy's writing it down oh my god this is amazing i can't
leave an angel spoken to you and then he gives it to his wife and then his wife's like this sounds like bullshit
so his wife takes it and hides it and she says right okay well we'll know if he's telling the
truth you say that you lost the papers and then get him to transcribe them again and if it's
exactly the same he's telling the truth and if it's different then he's not telling the truth
fucking sorted so he told him what happened he He said, I've lost that transcription.
Joseph Smith was super, super pissed off, went away to go and pray.
And he came back a couple of days later and was like, you'll never guess what.
The angel has given me some different plates.
And we're going to transcribe them again.
And it's going to be the same sort of story,
but it might be a little bit different here and there.
And the religion
is literally started
off from that
yeah
and then they got
hounded round the
country didn't they
until they got to
Utah
or Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City
yeah is the
Mecca
but they got hounded
out of every town
as they went
yeah yeah
everyone hated them
but they are Christian
yeah
but who's laughing now
they've got a hit
Broadway musical
yeah which is theirs they backed it and that's basically an advert for their church Everyone hated them. But they are Christian. Yeah. But who's laughing now? They've got a hit Broadway musical.
Yeah, which is theirs.
They backed it.
And that's basically an advert for their church.
Do you know they actually put an advert in the programme?
It said something like,
if you want to hear more about being a Mormon,
please visit our website.
Yeah.
When we went, there was Mormons outside handing out fucking...
I nearly took one and just went,
oh, I'm not doing it.
It's actually quite pro- that towards the end isn't it
for anyone who hasn't seen it sorry
you can turn off if you don't want any spoilers
it's definitely not pro Mormonism
I don't know about that
it's pro the idea
of religion
do you know what I mean
it's a piss take on religion for the entire thing
and then towards the end it's like
but you can understand why people need it yeah but it's not pro Mormon on religion for the entire thing and then towards the end it's like boy you can understand why people need it
yeah but it's not pro-Mormonism
like it rips the
Mormon church a new one doesn't it
don't get me wrong I think that everybody who believes
in a God I think is mentally ill
to an extent genuinely I think that if you believe
there is somebody that looks
down on you from heaven I think you need
your fucking head checking
but the attitudes and the virtues
that you get from being a religious person,
the certain attributes that it gives you
and the way that you are meant to conduct your life
is fantastic.
Oh, mate, everyone of faith that I know
is a good person, a good and kind person.
So if you want to believe
that there's some fucking dude in the sky
that you've got to not piss off,
if that ends up making you a good person
then who gives a fuck? What I would say about
Joe and his Christian mate is watch this
kid go off the rails eventually
when his balls are so blue
through his faith and his lack
of any conquest that he's
literally into the worst type
of nasty porn by the time he's 26
Are Mormons allowed to have a spaff?
I don't know, He's not a Mormon.
Jehovah's Witnesses definitely aren't.
They're not? Well, Jehovah's Witnesses have a
buddy. So,
when they are doing their mission, they have a buddy
That's Mormons as well, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah. No, it's Jehovah's Witness.
And Mormons. And Mormon too. They go in twos, yeah.
They have a buddy that they
follow, like, everywhere with them and
stuff, and they have them haven't for like two years
yeah when
when Mormon's gone
it's in the book of Mormon
the thing
yeah
what are you nodding for
the top article
is how I learned
to masturbate
as a Mormon
a blog
right
good
just nod
well I imagine then
that they're not allowed
to
otherwise that wouldn't
be an article
would it
like no one's doing it how I learned
to have a wife as a Christian
joking aside this lad will go fucking mental
like it won't just be like
oh I can't do anything
that shit builds up
if you ignore
I said this is how terrorists are born
if you ignore the horn
all of the way through
17, 18, 19, 20
you're going to end up
that is too much
you have to embrace it
but I just think he's afraid of talking to women
I think he's afraid of talking to women
and he's got this little Christian thing
that he uses to go
oh well it's not that I'm afraid
because what sounds more pathetic
I'm afraid of talking to women
or my religion do you know what I mean?, I'm afraid of talking to women,
or my religion.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, I know, I get it.
Also, kids of religion,
you can date girls from your religion.
Did I ever tell you? You're not going to get anywhere,
but just go and flirt with other Christian girls.
I tried to date a very religious girl once.
She was very Christian.
I met her in college, and she was deaf in one ear.
And I took her to...
See, this is the thing.
She was much more attractive than me,
but because she was deaf in one ear, I was like,
that's an in.
So, I get it.
Don't you dare scold them.
No, it's just funny.
I think someone gave me a compliment.
Do you know what that's like?
It's your hearing love. Do you know what that's like? It goes in think someone gave me a compliment. Do you know what that's like? It's your hearing love.
Do you know what that's like?
It goes in one ear and not the other.
Do you know what that's like?
Do you know when you've only got a quid
or only a little bit of money
and you go to Asda
and the extra special cakes
are normally out of your price range
but then they've whacked a yellow sticker on it
because someone's dropped the box.
Yes, it's the same thing.
Yes, yes.
She might as well have had a giant yellow sticker for a fucking hearing aid that said that said reduced on the
side of it that's all i saw this freddie look for in women a whoop sticker anyway right she um she
was like she was like do you want to come to church with, and it was the day after Halloween,
and I went to church, hung over to fuck,
and I still had some green paint on my neck.
What's that?
Face paint.
Oh.
And I sat through mass, and I was like,
do you know what?
This isn't fucking worth it.
And then that was the end of that.
But why did you tell us she was deaf?
What, sorry? I thought that was. And then that was the end of that. But why did you tell us she was deaf? What, sorry?
I thought that was going to be part of the story.
Oh, no, it was just a fact.
Just a fact that she was deaf in one ear.
I'm deaf.
I just remembered that about her.
I'm deaf.
I'm deaf.
Our podcast has been done.
