Sign up at patreon.com slash haveawordpod.
You will not regret it.
Now let's crack on.
If you're good at something, never do it for free.
Now, I'm getting the word nuts.
I'm not doing it for Dan.
I'm not doing it for Carl.
I'm doing it for Finn.
Every day.
Who the fuck is that guy?
Char, upset me, nasty bitch.
Oh, Jesus.
Don't chat to me!
I can see fumes coming off your pum-pum look like petrol station.
Shut up!
Disgusting!
Coming to you from the soon-to-be world-famous Havawad Studios.
Hidden away in the scenic hills of sunny Rancon, 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. Hello, Father.
Here I am at Camp Granada.
That's Moist. Simpsons.
What's that?
It's just been banging around my head.
I have had some of the weirdest fucking tunes
banging around my head recently.
And that's one of them.
Hello, mother.
And also, it's amazing how you...
Fucking awful, the jukebox in my head.
I followed a girl on Instagram because she came up.
I was just watching some reels, which is, as we know,
is their Instagram's version of TikTok, I suppose.
Her name is Natalie Burdick, and she just does these weirdly
catchy comedy songs.
You know like Tom Taylor is a comic on the UK circuit
who does very short, funny songs.
Little ditties.
Well, she's doing that.
But you can't get them out your head.
And they're all sort of in this style.
So have a little listen.
Did you know that in space you pee into a vacuum hose and it's sucked through a tank and it flies past the window? They're all sort of in this style, so have a little listen.
I love it.
Is that what's been banging around your head? Yeah. I mean, I can see it getting retweets and likes,
but it's not necessarily what you want stuck in your fucking mind.
Oh, no, and the Taco Bell one.
It always bums me out when I'm sitting in the drive-thru line and I see they've taken down the sign. Let's give her some love.
Watch she.
Watch him start watching the live versions of it
and knowing every word.
Adam's obsessive nature.
Oh, you think there's going to be a live version of that?
Yeah, yeah.
Glastonbury.
Adam driving back from Blackpool,
missing a junction
and ended up in Stoke
because he's watching
the Taco Bell Instagram girl.
Her name is Natalie Baird.
B-U-R.
Dick!
Yeah.
That's how you remember it.
So that's what's been in your head.
Yeah.
Hello, murder. Hello, father. You are getting off the Simpsons, aren't you? that's how you remember it so that's what's been in your head yeah hello murder
hello father
you are getting off the simpsons aren't you
yeah
I think that's where
it's from the episode we're in
but Rob's from the store
spoilers
spoiler alert
sorry guys
if you're watching it
in order
I mean you are 28 years behind
fucking
I might start
the simpsons from the start.
I've been thinking it.
Watch it in order.
Yeah, don't do that.
Start from season two or three.
No, you should start about three, yeah.
One's a bit scratchy, isn't it?
There's some classics.
The Christmas one's a classic from season one.
But that's the first episode, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because it's a classic.
Yeah, it is a classic,
but if it was in season nine 9 it wouldn't be a classic
no
no it's just the first
yeah
I think it peaks
about season 11
how many is that
and they
there's about 40
it's fucking ridiculous
in 2002
they should have
taken the Simpsons
round the back
like old yellow
and shot it
in the fucking head
because it was
done
Simpsons is like
yellow Coronation street then in it
yeah i don't think coronation street ever hit the heights that simpsons did for me
for me um but they tried matt graining tried to didn't he matt graining tried to
say what i don't groaning that's great it's groaning. It's groaning. Is it? It's spelled groaning.
Yeah.
We'll just say it like that then.
Good stop.
Good stop.
Is it a gilet or a gillet?
Depends if you want to look like a retard.
Or is it retard?
Or tard.
It's actually a person with special needs.
All right.
Don't say retard anymore.
Do you not?
It's very offensive to the retarded community.
It's upsetting for you, isn't it? To the to the retard it's a joke he did a little joke there carl yeah but matt graining actually asked to end it and fox were like no you know because it makes us
15 million dollars an episode so why don't you just keep making it he was like but i don't want
to make it he was like okay well why don't we give keep making it? He was like, but I don't want to make it. He was like, okay, well, why don't we give you
this much fucking money every episode?
And they were like, oh, all right.
You know, we've been in talks with 20th Century Fox
about them buying Hathaway.
I know we haven't really told all this.
No, no, no.
I mean, a lot of people thought it'd be Spotify,
but randomly it was a major film and television distributor
that we're going to get into podcasting.
UK run corn based podcasting
because Murdoch
he's fucking wily
like that
well I'm just
wondering like
let's say
you know
Fox
Fox yeah
I saw the email
20th century Fox
20th century Fox
owned by Murdoch
yeah
who owns the sun
yeah
no no it's not
owned by
we didn't get the
email from him though
on the email it said
he's about to sell it
to someone who doesn't own.
I got him in the weeds on that one.
Sorry.
I know, I know.
It's a Jedi buying it.
Jedi's buying it.
Steven Gerrard's buying 21st Century Fox.
20th.
Sorry.
Yeah, sorry.
That's a Futurama thing as well.
Right, get us on the rails.
What are you on about?
Yeah, so we got an email yesterday,
me and Kyle.
We deleted it
before you seen it.
Yeah, okay. Because we didn't want you getting too excited. No. With the baby on the way. Yeah so we got an email Yes I mean Carl We deleted it Before you seen it Yeah okay
Because we didn't want you
Getting too excited
No
With the baby on the way
No
You know what I mean
Totally
What in case my waters break
I know I'm put on weight
With the surgery you've got to have
On your thing
On my dick
Yeah
To sew it back in
Because it's never been used again
Yeah
And I've had that in writing
From my wife
Yeah so
We don't get too excited
But I'm telling you now
okay
because
we can monetize
your exactly
surprise
surprise
hey
get a party proper
woo
so
20th Century Fox
got in touch
and basically
they said
they want to
they want to buy this office
yeah
they're not going to
raise any money up front
but it's going to be
great exposure
they're going to get us
an interview
in the sport
the daily sport
right
right
right next to
some
obviously if it grows
medical tits
if we drain the swamp
dry of humour
and we're just sat here
looking at each other
like I fucking hate
this cunt
and he's not funny
I mean we're getting close
it's pretty obvious
we're getting close
if that happens
yeah
how much would they
have to offer?
Pay a month for us to keep going.
Two grand?
Oh, it depends who it's for.
So if Spotify come along,
you'd be like,
I don't think my price is dead high
to go with an exclusivity deal
and a cool sort of,
they're not a broadcaster,
but it's the sort of modern equivalent, isn't itth century fox i'd be slightly dubious like if channel five came up
with like hello we think your podcast is very good we're channel five and we want to buy it
and we want it to be a channel five podcast i'd be like oh I don't trust you because you're what do you call the community
retarded
yeah yeah yeah
so
yeah
Fox
20th Century Fox
we could go on
between Neighbours
and Home and Away though
Home and Away
Have a word
Neighbours
let me be
the
nut
so yeah
20th Century Fox
I'd be interested to see but I love it how you in your head were like
no money up front i think i'd like a little bit you know matt graining was like i don't want to
do it anymore and they went what about 15 million dollars an episode he was like all right adam row
yeah good exposure that daily sport seems legit i'm just wondering what would it take for us to
sell out because we spoke privately about this
because you know this thing has been
doing well and we've had
the odd whisper from the odd production company
we really like what you're doing and we'd really love to
come in and ruin it
we could really see you somewhere else
without us putting any money behind it
just now but we want to blow
some smoke up your arse
and then do very little about it
how do you feel about that, guys?
Suspicious.
But, like, let's say a big company,
like, let's say there was a comedy channel
called, like, The Centre of Comedy
or something like that, right?
Yeah.
And it's, like, channel 117 on Virgin.
Yeah.
Something like that.
Doesn't he get fucked?
He fucks himself with the details.
Like, he's like,
it's on 117.
It's the centre of comedy.
That's because that's
Comedy Central's number
on Virgin Media.
Oh,
right.
I didn't know what he was
talking about.
You ruined it.
I bought that.
What?
I thought he just made
something up.
Oh,
okay,
good.
I thought you were just
getting lost in the weeds again.
I was doing jokes
that you didn't get
because you're not
on my level.
Again, it's just a pleasure to witness such a high-level broadcaster.
You know?
So let's say the centre of comedy, new channel.
New channel.
Right.
Do you think they'd be on a different number then?
No, because Comedy Central's dead, mate.
Oh, right.
Okay, good.
Could have just been Comedy Central.
Now we're seeing that high-level joke.
It could have been Comedy Central.
Go on.
So they come in and they go,
right, we want to make, have a word,
a late-night Comedy Central show.
You'll have to stop doing the pod,
but you get to do one a week.
It won't be series.
It'll be like a permanent fixture,
like matching a day, right?
Can I stop you there?
Yeah.
I'm not stopping the pod.
Right. If one of these guys comes in 10 million starts like what yeah i'm stopping the park i didn't know
i didn't know we're doing that i think we know we're doing that that's what i'm trying people
at comedy central like fuck me we got a. Yeah, but I'm just wondering what would your price be for it to stop the pod
and we just do once a week
on Comedy Central?
I don't want to fucking ruin the pod.
They can, like, if someone comes
in and starts, they can
buy the brand and let us do a TV
version of it. But
they're not messing with the original.
I'm very wary of having something
that's gone so well and is so much fun and is now paying all my fucking bills at a time when comics
are like working in iceland i'm very wary of fucking with what we do and like however many
levels it goes to and however many more people watch or become patrons we've said this just got to keep it
in the room it's got to be like mates chatting like on the very first pilot that we did a year
and a bit ago we said if we talk to each other and it's interesting and funny if we make each
other laugh it'll work and that's what we've got to keep simple i like the idea of someone coming
in and going we see it as this and maybe we could do some production of that but if they ban us from doing the original thing I think that we're screwed
yeah I think that a tv company god bless comedy central they do some great work and I see some
stuff on the internet about comedy central like like oh my god fucking schultz is it akash absolutely
hounded them didn't they when they heard there might have been
some jobs gone
at like the American
HQ
but I actually enjoy
a lot of what
Comedy Central do
but they can't
fuck up
and I will work for them again
yeah but they can't
fuck up the thing
yeah
because we made it
my question is
what is your price
for them to do that
they haven't
they haven't got the money
they haven't got the money so They haven't got the money.
So if they gave us a quarter of a million each,
you'd say no?
Well, you'd have a consideration, wouldn't you?
But is this company worth more in the next five years
than a quarter of a million each?
Because if they take it,
and then sneaky lawyers, they've got the rights,
because let's be honest,
we're not details guys, really, are we?
So they're like, oh shit, that didn't really do it.
Passing Finn the contract. Have a look over that one i've gotta go i've got a fucking
table i know you've got coffee on the fucking contract i'm sure it's sound four episodes later
comedy central don't have a word and we're not involved there's a disabled woman and eshan Akbar hosting.
Should have read the fucking contract, lads.
Fucking outfit.
Yeah.
I think we've just got to stay doing it in this cupboard in Runcorn, haven't we?
See, that joke,
that joke,
it's not going to be allowed on Cupboard Attempts, is it?
So let's keep it in the place where we get to do that joke it's not going to be allowed on comedy so let's keep in the place where we get to do
that joke however i i like the idea of like someone coming and doing the exclusivity like
three shots of tequila have got i think that sound because that means that someone's gone
we rate you we want to help you get bigger but we think you your brand should just be on our
station or like app or whatever and as long as
all of the people that listen to it now can still get that for the price that we've got it free or
patreon then yeah i'd be into that where do your models stop with that though like what company
do you know what i mean like let's say a new app comes out and it's run by
isis right yeah what's it called? ISIS podcasts.
It's called Halal A Word.
It's time to Halal A Word
with Ahmed and Dave.
Starting jihad.
You've already got the ask.
But like
Would you go on
Isis' streaming network?
No I think it might be
Quite damaging to my fanbase
I don't know
Fanbase
I don't reckon it would be
Do you not?
I think it would be noteworthy
I would go on theirs
Before I went on one
For the newspaper
We don't talk of
It would be a really
Unusual move
Really
100%
100% Yeah 100? 100% 100%
100%
100%
If it came to a choice between the two
I'm not saying I would jump at the opportunity
To board the ISIS boat
But if it was like
It either stops or we go with
ISIS then
Listen lads We we got a new
producer in he's a bit grumpy but he's very good at video messages he's done them for years yeah
we think you can get out of studio get into a cave just north of islamabad that'd be sick you'd
all yeah yeah it'd be sick i'd love to go to northern pakistan southern afghanistan
made up a new country that just sounded vaguely it's smart though because there's
no racism it's not real yeah yeah i fucking hate afghanistanis
if isis said they wanted six months of you doing podcasts so they got big in the west again
for five mil i I mean, yeah.
Do we have to put
ISIS propaganda on it?
Like, death to the West?
Or are we trying
to rebuild their image?
So is it like sort of,
hey, you know like
after World War II
when Germany were like,
we're not Nazis anymore.
You know, we've got
water parks and that now.
Now the sound.
Is that what ISIS...
That's a direct quote.
That's a direct quote.
Read your history guys
1946
Germany
Can't decide if it was east or west
Probably west
We're like
Lads
We're not fucking Nazis anymore
We've got water parks
We're sound
If ISIS were trying to do that
They've got a new manager
He's built up
Like he's worked for
They've got a new manager
New manager yeah
Sam Allardyce has come in
Yeah Cause they've got a new manager new manager yeah Sam Allardyce has come in yeah
because
because ISIS have been on the ropes
yeah
they've been lower
and they just need
you know
they need stability
they don't want to go the way Al-Qaeda did
do you know what I mean
Al-Qaeda
one hit one death
really
Al-Qaeda are definitely like Portsmouth
aren't they
they want to be more like
they won a cup
now they're in administration
yeah
they want to be like wolves who came up a cup now they're in administration. Yeah.
They want to be like wolves who came up strong.
They want Allardyce in.
Weird analogy.
But yes.
Right.
ISIS got a new manager.
Right.
And they're like, they come to us and they go, look, Pod's flying.
You're doing well.
In that accent?
I bought me- Oh, look, the new manager of ISIS is from West Derby.
Fucking flying. Fucking flying lad.
Lad.
Jaddy Jeff?
My name is Hassam Ladd a la fucking Purple Ben.
Right.
Hassam Ladd a la fucking Purple Ben.
Hassam Ladd a la fucking Purple Ben.
And I'm the new manager Of fucking
ISIS
Right
They come to us and they go
Vodka's flying
Doing very well
It's doing well in Russia
Very very good
I am Muslim
From
I don't know how to do an ISIS accent
There isn't one
They're all wrong
But that's more wrong.
Hello, men.
Fuck, I can't do your podcast.
Oh my God.
That's Dracula with throat cancer.
Give him some
fucking morphine.
They come to us and they go, look,
we've done some bad things,
you know, all the terrorism and the
murder and stuff yeah you know what i mean but yeah we um we're very aware that you know there's
we we've got sponsors you know this company makes money and we want to keep it that way
we want to stop the murder and that we want to use have a way to promote our new ideology which is peace all over the world yeah um but like with just a little bit
of islam you know what i mean yeah so we want to use 10 creative control yeah no like they just
they just want like you know we have ad breaks we have three ad breaks per episode don't we yeah
they want to like double the size of those ad breaks, but they get an extra bit in each one for us to promote their stuff.
So you're going to do an ad read for ISIS?
Yeah.
Can you give me a flavour?
Yeah, let me just get out of the way.
Adam into the middle.
Can you just give me a...
I can't.
Luckily, I'm not good at ad reads.
Okay.
So as you'll know from the episode, if you're just watching,
just throughout this episode, Adam's done the new 4K ad reads.
I am a spanner when it comes to ad reads.
I can read it.
I can read the paragraph.
And then I'm like, guys, beer 52 is for beer.
And then I'm out.
But it's worked out really well because now Adam is about to do
a fake 4K advert read for ISISis so let's do that or maybe i hear that right can i
just say what you said before you just you were like you know because of islam and stuff i'd
separate isis from islam you know because they're fundamentalist terrorists yeah but there's a load
of muslims are like they're cunts they're not yeah they are but they still their ideas are still
based from
Islamic scripture
aren't they
yeah
they still think
they're Muslims
let's separate
yeah but for the
banter let's
separate it
it's the same way
that like
you know
Liverpool fans
don't like lads
who wear
the home shirt
to the match
but the people
who do wear
the home shirt
to the match
they still consider
themselves
Liverpool fans
it's just like that
it's exactly like
that
you know but with
more death and
torture
like ISIS are
wolves aren't they
yeah but you've got
to remember this is a
new message from them
so what's happening
guys this week's
episode is brought to
you with what's
happening guys
I go infidels
what's happening
infidels
no because they don't they're not doing that anymore oh they're changing new new idea With what's happening, guys. I go infidels. What's happening, infidels?
Go on. No, because they're not doing that anymore.
Oh, they're changing.
New, new, new ideology.
All on you, baby.
What's happening, guys?
This week's episode is brought to you by the under new management, ISIS.
Now.
Go on.
It's very hard for me to do that bit while you're all sat there.
Oh, you actually wanted me to move, right?
No, no.
You stay exactly where you are, but shut up.
What's happening, guys?
This week's episode is brought to you by the under-new management, ISIS.
Now, they've been terrorists before, but now they're preaching unity.
They don't want death to the West anymore.
Life in the West, but don't have a bacon butty.
Let's get back to the pod.
See?
10%
This is just for your career.
Just thought it'd be apt.
There you go. Just a little bit
Would you ever convert to Islam?
That hat makes it look like he would
After that advert
I'm thinking about it
Like if they sort of tone down their
Nah I'm alright
But what if like
I don't want to convert to fucking
United reformism You know what I mean If I'm not I don't want to convert to fucking united reformism you know what I mean
if I'm not
it's just a shit church of the
you know it's a Christian church
I don't want to convert to
like
the church of England so
no on Islam
why?
because I'm not into organised religion
I would
if you just shut
them up for a bit
yeah
why
because they're
do you think
that would shut
them up
if you
converted to
Islam
yeah
like the
poor fans
wanting to
centre it
off
the Islam's
one Adam
yeah
yeah
they want a
podcaster
you know
I could host
their whole
network
I could introduce
the beheading
videos
oh mate
again
it's the Islam and the ISIS thing no I mean for them I'd host their whole network. I could introduce the beheading videos. Oh, mate, again.
It's the Islam and the ISIS thing.
No, I mean for them.
You know what I mean?
They're the ones recruiting me.
They're second of it.
You've really got to separate those two things in your mind and on the pod.
You can't be like, would you convert to Islam?
You know, because of the beheading.
Shut the fuck up. No, okay.
Would you join ISIS is what I mean.
What?
Would you join ISIS is what I mean.
Right, good.
Yeah.
Fucking hell, that's actually made me blush.
And Finn.
I love that a hundred and odd episodes in,
I've found something that can make Dan nervous.
No, because it's-
Considering the amount of shit we've said.
I know, but it's the way,
like the Islam Muslims are not that, considering the amount of shit we've said. I know, but it's the way, like,
the Islam Muslims are not that.
No, they're not.
I know.
And I'm not saying they are.
No, but you kind of did, Adam.
No, it's like, you know, the way, like,
here we go.
Not all Leave voters are racist,
but all racists voted Leave.
Right.
Not all.
Oh God,
please be careful.
Don't say this next line.
Just please be careful.
Let's pretend it's bullshit.
Go on.
Not all Muslims behead people in the name of Islam.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
But everyone who beheads people in the name of Islam
consider themselves a Muslim.
Is that not right?
Is that not right? You tell me i'm wrong go on tell me
yeah i'm wrong i mean yeah you're right but you didn't have to be yeah but uh yeah if it goes to
v.a.r i'm on side and we forgot this is a public episode i think we might have.
Fucking hell.
It was already dodgy.
And then it was weirdly like,
would you convert to Islam?
You're like...
Channel 5, though.
I'd be up for that.
After this conversation,
now that ISIS have been on the table,
I think Channel 5 will be like,
we can put you on a little bit really good.
I'd be up for that.
Do you know what I was wondering?
What is your favourite colour?
What are you doing?
I'm just trying to get it back on track.
Trying to meek and mild it.
I spoke to my grandad yesterday.
I speak to him every day
because he doesn't want to pay for carers anymore,
which is a bold move when you're 95
and you need carers.
I don't think I need carers at the start of the lockdown that bullshit one in november he was like oh i don't
want to pay for these carers anymore so because of covid we're going to cancel them and my dad
went along with him so i ring him every morning and uh it's a painful, I love him. He's my granddad, but he's 95.
And every morning we have to have a conversation
where he's like, hello.
I'm like, you all right?
Basically, what's not being said is,
have you died in the night?
And he's like, no, I've not died in the night.
And we could just leave it there.
But it happens to be like, you all right?
Yeah, I'm all right.
Bit boring, isn't it?
Did you see the United result?
Oh, pressing north end.
And he has, a bit boring, isn't it? Did you see the United result? Oh, pressing North End. And he, for some reason,
just clocked on to me earning a living from podcasting.
And we talked for like two minutes every morning.
And then yesterday, he started asking about podcasting
and we talked for 17 minutes.
And it was the weirdest conversation
as I explained what YouTube and podcasting was
to a 95-year-old who sold oil
from the point of like the,
after the Second World War
right through to like the late 80s.
Has he got banky, Grandad?
No, no, he's not a sheik.
A sheik?
A sheik.
A sheik.
Sheik.
Yeah, he hasn't got like a well in his garden.
Do you not know?
My granddad lives in Kuwait.
So what did he wear?
An SOGallon?
He just was an oil salesman.
Like went around the northwest.
Like chip pans and that?
Selling oil to garages and stuff.
Yeah.
He sold chip pan oil.
And I had to explain.
Ventilite.
Yeah. and i i had to explain yeah i had to explain to a really old dude that we sit here and make our
living talking bullshit and point it on the internet he was like so how does it i don't
understand you put it on the computer and then from the computer it goes on to like yeah youtube
it's like a channel so you watch it on the television i was like no
but it's like that and then in the end he was like you watch it on the television yeah yeah you do
but he means a tv channel yeah yeah so i would have had to explain smart tvs to a 95 year old
and that's not gonna fucking happen is it no and then in the end it just got down to and how
often do you do it i was, two afternoons a week.
And he paused, and I could hear in that pause,
he wanted to say, fuck off.
It was this amazing moment where he worked his balls off,
served in the Navy, spent a fucking age in his life
working his dick off.
And then I'm here in a pandemic talking to my scouse mate
on a fucking YouTube show that he doesn't understand
for two afternoons a week doing perfectly well. beautiful moment where i could tell he wanted to just be like
do you want to get him on as a guest oh that would be that would be quite painful did he
he's not a vet as you know he didn't go to the war he was uh i mean a veteran not like a
veterinarian he was 16 when the war is that a conscription
or when it ended
hang on
when did it end
was he 95
he's 95
so he was
how old was he
when the
he would have been 15
he was born in 1926
so he'd been
yeah
so how old would he have been
19
18
he'd have been old enough
for a conscription then
yeah
was he a conscientious object
no he wasn't he just didn't go he just didn't go just didn't get deployed 19, 18. He'd have been old enough for conscription then. Yeah. Was he a conscientious object then?
No, he wasn't.
He just didn't go.
He just didn't go.
Just didn't get deployed.
He was in the Navy for two years,
just never got deployed.
And then after the war,
they sort of like went down the gears
with all the armed forces.
And he spent some time in like Scotland
in the 1st or 4th,
but he never saw any action.
And his brothers were in the war.
Do you know?
They were dying to go.
If you,
if it's just too young,
basically.
If World War kicked off now,
I'm not talking like
sort of a bullshit
fucking Iraq where,
you know,
we sort of get strong arm
and then to go
and I'm talking
there's a genuine
malevolent,
malevolent?
Malevolent, yeah.
Malevolent,
like Hitler-esque
China problem. Yeah. Yeah yeah it's going to be china
in it right and it kicks off and we all get fucking you know we all get picked you know
they do captains and each we all get picked that's how it happened back in the day yeah right
used to be numbers didn't it
so it sort of was like in vietnam in vietnam they televised televised the draft like the most
they really did they tell us the draft oh yeah yeah in my head i'm like the nfl draft
got a shirt it's great to be part of this organization
with the first pick of the 1970 Vietnam draft. The 8th infantry pick, Trayvon.
But they pick you, right?
We all get picked.
But the way it's working this time around.
How depressing was that?
Rummaging like, and who else is fucked?
But you get to pick what you do.
Right.
So, because none of us are qualified, we haven't been trained.
We're going to war next week.
So it's like, Dan. Yeah. Do you want a tank, a machine gun, a grenade?
Yeah.
Right.
I'm really good at admin.
I think I could be one of those guys.
No, no, no.
No, come on.
I'm in the emails.
I'm sorting the prep out.
We will need that, actually.
Thank you.
Okay, it's not frontline, but it's essential.
We could do the Robin Williams thing from Good Morning Vietnam
We can do the radio show
Adam's on the front line and he needs another machine gun
Let me order that from Amazon
I'm telling you right now I'm getting a bazooka
Front line bazooka
How long are you lasting?
We'll win
So you're on the front line with a bazooka
And you don't die
I don't think so Are you fighting for ISIS again? Front line a bazooka and you don't die i don't think so are you fighting for isis again
front line and bazooka sounds like you're really there in the full guard side do you think isis
are going to be on in that war do you like if it's world war and isis going to join us are they
going to be with the chinese i think they'll be conscientious objectors we're like we'll just hang
back and see who gets tired first and then they'll just what would you
pick out i'm a sniper sniper right so the problem is with the question is you've done if it kicked
off now what would you do what would what you would do is stay home and hope that they didn't
drop a nuclear bomb on your fucking head but if it was 1940, say 1939,
and that world war was kicking off,
what would you do?
Because that's what you mean, isn't it?
Like in the army or whatever.
Because there isn't, you can't get,
you're never going to get national subscription.
National conscription again,
because it's just not needed
because they've just got nuclear warheads.
No, but they won't use nuclear warheads, will they?
Oh, what? Just for a laugh? No, because they won't use nuclear warheads, will they? Oh, what? Just for a laugh?
No, because they won't.
Because if one country fires a nuke, then the other...
If one country fires a nuke,
like, it could be the end of civilisation.
Because every other country will fire theirs.
Yeah.
So why have we got them?
As a deterrent.
Right.
That is the actual answer, though, isn't it?
I'm not talking shit.
It is.
It is.
But if in a world war,
it would show a lot of constraint, wouldn't it,
from China and Russia,
who are really sound.
They're dead nice people.
So they definitely show that restraint.
No, but like,
they know they can't press it
because then they'll get wiped out as well.
See, I think there's people in control
above governments anyway,
so I don't think they'd be allowed.
Okay, cool. Let's keep it on the
No genuinely I don't think Donald Trump had the ability to go
He did though
So Putin doesn't
You think there's a power above Putin
I think you're mad
He's just put the leader of the opposition
In jail in Russia hasn't he
It's going to be them cunts
And I don't think they're going to be them cunts.
And I don't think they're going to show that sort of restraint.
But they've got to, haven't they?
Because if they fire theirs, we will fire ours.
Yeah, totally.
And everyone will die.
So they're going to be like, listen, we're at war.
China, Russia, stick.
Fucking Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram and ISIS.
Hang back, lads.
Have a fucking day off. It's nice and warm where you are. I can't hear the, Boko Haram, and ISIS. Hang back, lads. Have a fucking day off.
It's nice and warm where you are. Sunbathe.
I can't hear the word Boko Haram
without thinking of a really nice curry house.
It sounds like it belongs on a menu, doesn't it?
Yeah.
It really does, though.
Next to the Karai chicken.
Chicken madras.
I don't think...
Lambuna.
Just because they can't fucking kill each other with nukes,
they're not going to be like,
right, let's get Adam Rowe
a bazooka
let's get all the UK comics
with some sort of weaponry
fuck
get Freddy out of Iceland
he's not teaching anymore
give him to ISIS
yeah
from Iceland to ISIS
that is the fucking name
of his Edinburgh show
he did
and he's already got
the fucking beard
would you have a nuclear bazooka then? no just be firing like fucking Roman candles and that's already got the fucking beard would you have a nuclear
bazooka then
no
just be firing like
fucking roman candles
and that's what I mean
just like a little
well I would want
like if I could pick
I want a bazooka
or a tank
your bazooka's such a
shit weapon though
isn't it
you're so dank
so quick
you're literally like
well right
with this situation
he's a bazooka
here comes Adam
like
fucking Gerrard
you've missed
see you lads
have a good one
no but
they gave me
like an assistant
who reloads it for me
you'd have to
take Finn
Finn
Finn can fucking
pop me fucking
rocket to me bazooka
where's the bazooka
intern
not getting paid enough fucking money will you subtitle that fucking bazooka intern? Not getting paid enough fucking money.
Will you subtitle that fucking bazooka?
Come on, Finn.
Oh, come on.
Is he intern still?
Yeah.
No, you're not going to war as an intern.
He's probably been given a role.
But like, I was genuinely wondering if we did get conscribed
conscribed?
conscription?
if you got inscribed
yeah
what would you want to do?
but you are fighting
so
don't want to be on a ship
don't trust the sea
don't like it
I'd rather be
blown up
I'd rather be blown up in a field
than here whoop whoop this is the sound of the police I'd rather be blown up in a field than hear,
whoop, whoop, this is the sound of the police.
Whoop, whoop.
What, the party boat going past?
It's cold.
Whoop, what?
Carnival.
Carnival.
You're at war and there's a fucking boat full of 18 to 30s
with a fucking
snoop dog
why did you sing that
it's just a
that was meant to be
an alarm
it's the sound of the police
whoop whoop
be shot by the police
so
you're in the field
do you want to
drive a tank
can I be
air forcey
I was an air scout
after all
oh yeah I can't fly yeah so what are you I can paint really nice Can I be Air forcey I was an air scout After all Oh yeah
I can't fly
Yeah
So what are you
I can paint really nice murals
So what are you
No you've got
You've got a
You're in action
So are you flying the plane
Are you controlling the gun
Do people do separate jobs
Or do you have to control
Your own gun
Oh
I'd love to be a little gunner
A little bummer gunner
Yes
On the back
With the little
You know where the little Like the planes On the back with the little yeah you know where the
little like the plane yeah it could be one of those tail gunners like that that that fuck off
that's what you'd be i'd do that on the motorway sometimes not do that pretend you've got a machine
gun when someone's just like i'm in the second overtaking lane but i'm doing 72 miles an hour
i'm already speeding oh should I do
should I go faster
and you'd wish
you had machine guns
to be like
yeah fuck off
if I wasn't a sniper
I'd probably just be
hand to hand
hand to hand
yeah
so you're running
into no man's land
for a scrap
let's have it
you'd hope they go
alright
and drop their weapons
be a man
but that's how Adam
that's how war works
with Adam
hey I know we've got nukes
but you don't use them
we don't use them
in fact you know
we've got bazookas
let's leave them off
like alright no knives
let's just go and have
a massive scrap
round the fucking
back of the bike sheds
that'd be well better
wouldn't it
imagine
did Carl genuinely say
in the war
he'd like to be
just twat someone
like a fucking
gypsy boxer
just turn up
well the army do have
boxing don't they
you can be a boxer
in the army
you can box for the army
yes
you can
not in battle though
like fucking hell
these guns aren't working
get caught
exactly
fucking idiot
you can box for the army
well you need to know
how to box
in case your gun
runs out of ammo
yeah
can't have bayonets
any more than illegal
I
it's just so much
nonsense
it's so much
nonsense
I just
but at least
we're not besmirching
the second biggest
religion in the world
carry on
are they Islam number two I think they might be number one yeah they're defo number one have you boffed yeah At least we're not besmirching the second biggest religion in the world. Carry on.
And Islam number two.
I think they might be number one.
Yeah, they're defo number one.
Have you boffed?
Yeah.
It's a pleasure.
It's racially insensitive and nasally insensitive.
Here on Have a Word.
But yeah, I really, really would like to try the time. I think you should use that fart on the front line.
I think that should be your weapon.
Chemical warfare.
Chemical warfare. Chemical warfare.
Never mind a bazooka.
They'll just fucking roll Adam out
full of fucking panini that he had for lunch.
Bend him over.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It would at least distract them
and then you can come past and you're playing.
It would definitely distract them. And then as they're all lying there dead, Carl can come in and you're playing. Da, da, da, da, da, da. It would definitely distract them.
And then as they're all lying there dead,
Carl can come in
and fucking punch their head in
so they're definitely dead.
And Finn.
It's a pleasure.
Can you understand
why my granddad is a little bit confused
about how I'm paying the bills?
Do you reckon World War III
will be live streamed?
Do you reckon you'll be able to watch it?
Like they'll put GoPros on the tanks and that.
You know what I mean
Twitch
becoming a very
popular platform
for streaming
you know what I
mean
I reckon the
armies are going
to start hiring
Twitch and
YouTubers to
film it all
and then we
won't need
you know like
there's loads of
World War 2
documentaries where
they've got to put
like
Reignachmans and
that together
there'll just be
good raw footage
that does exist
Obama watched
Ben Laden get shot
didn't he
he did yeah
it was a stream to him
but do you reckon
you'll be able to
stream it as the public
is what I'm asking
I've seen all the
seals who were involved
I've all got a
different recollection
of the story
that makes them
the protagonist
so they all tell a
story of like
yeah I went in
and I shot him
and I shot him
and yeah
each seal's got a different story making them the hero
if they've all been interviewed separately yeah that would definitely happen to you
yeah you definitely remember it as like i just i bin laden was there seal team six came in
adam went first got his dick out i I just remember beating him to death with my dick.
And it would have been quicker
if I hadn't had a medical dick reduction
when I was nine.
Do you remember that?
Yeah.
Do you reckon you could have smashed Ben Lardin's head in?
Like one-on-one.
I reckon I could have batted him
because he was probably an old frail man, wasn't he?
He was a big guy.
Six foot four.
But imagine how satisfying that would have been
to punch the head in of Ben Lardin
and get to say that he did it
do you know what I mean
like
because even though
he's an old man
it would still seem
like a big deal
that you battered Bin Laden
he wasn't that old
who do you reckon
would win the fight
Bin Laden or Eamon Holmes
good question
looking forward to
the have a word pub quiz
when are we doing that
by the way
it'll be the end of this month
it needs a lot of
it'll be released
at the end of the month
yeah
probably film a tuition for yeah needs a lot of... It'll be released at the end of the month, yeah. Probably film a tuition for.

Exclusively on
patreon.com
slash have a weird pod.
We need to get it done
quicker than that.

Oh, you two are so supportive.
I've watched your friendship blossom.
This is kind of a serious one.
From Anonymous.
Hi, Lids.
I'm in a right state here
and need your expertise on this
sticky situation this is from a lady so me and my ex of a six-year serious relationship broke up at
the beginning of 2020 since then we've been doing couples things together from long walks to shagging
all signs pointed to us giving it another go fast Fast forward to this current day, a whole year later,
we are still doing couples things,
and he has since told me that he's not looking for a relationship
and he's currently not talking to anyone else
and he's focusing in on us.
So she's getting the whole, like, I know we split up,
I know we're sleeping together, I know we're doing couples things,
but I don't want to get back
but I'm not looking for another relationship
I know for a fact
that he's seeking other girls attention
he's on dating sites
and in his bio specifically says
looking for a relationship
and when I ask him about it
he gets all defensive
and he somewhat gaslights me
into thinking that I've done something wrong
I love this guy very much and wish he could realise how much he is hurting me so lids all defensive and he somewhat gaslights me into thinking that i've done something wrong i love
this guy very much and wish he could realize how much he is hurting me so lids am i causing more
damage to myself and thinking that he's just using me until another last comes into his life
should i cut ties i'd love to hear your point of view that is from lady anon
adam's taking this one seriously you'll have heard the finger click
on the audio it's about to go down um first of all the reason he's got looking for a relationship
in his dating website bio is because he knows a lot of women even if they are just looking for a
slice of dick don't talk to you if you put i'm just offering a slice of dick
is that one of the options on tinder looking for a relationship giving out slices of dick
what genuinely it's been seven years since i was on a dating website and i didn't do tinder
e-harmony what was it e-harmony i was uh on match.com she's a pretty standard fit you paid
for your membership i did yeah went on a date with a girl called Louise
Who lived in Liverpool
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
We had an argument on the second date
Not a good sign
What about?
Directions
Directions to Crosby
She started whinging at me
And I was listening to Tom Tom
See this is where I could have helped you
You know if you rang me for advice
Because you know how to get to Crosby
I know how to get to Crosby. I know how to get to Crosby.
Stop your fucking whinging,
Adam!
Did I just follow the coast road?
Adam just said,
look,
first of all,
don't argue on a second date.
And you'd have gone,
oh shit, yeah?
And then maybe
you'd be there now
instead of Laura.
I'm really glad,
A,
we had an argument on the second date
because I love my wife my heavily
pregnant wife i love her she's beautiful i'm so happy i'm with her no it was not meant to be you
shouldn't be arguing on a second date should you no internet dating did not work for me but genuinely
what are the if you can put i'm looking for a relationship you can also like i'm looking for
a bit of fun all right like it it's not like a drop down menu.
That's his bio.
He's typed that out.
Right.
It's not a,
oh,
so I thought it was like looking for a relationship,
giving out a slice of dick.
You just want to blow loads in your mouth.
Yeah.
You can put literally whatever you want.
You want a spaff in your ear.
Yeah.
How many?
You can put whatever you want.
Or you can take all of them.
I'm looking for a relationship.
But they're not options.
And to blow loads.
You literally just type whatever you want.
Yeah.
So like, I'm just here for three seconds. A lot of people put, I'm looking for a relationship and to blow loads. You literally just type whatever you want. Yeah. So like a lot of people put,
I'm looking for a relationship because they don't want to seem like a,
you know,
like a who are,
and I'm putting men in that category as well.
That's not a sexist thing.
What was your bio?
What was your bio when you were on the,
um,
the old,
they don't call me rowdy bags for none.
That was the whole thing.
They don't call me rowdy bags,
but you can you
hey and i mean that for men as well that's not sexist i call everyone who is dad you're who
and we're going to cavity yeah so i think he he's put that in his bio doesn't net just because
you've got that in his bio doesn't necessarily mean he's telling the truth.
I think he's lying to all the women out there
so that he gets some punani.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's very possible.
Oh, I think that's a very fair assessment
of his online dating situation.
Yeah.
So she needs to not worry about that bit so much.
However, so many other red flags here.
That's potentially
a orange flag.
That could be an amber flag.
But everything else is
red, red, red, red, red.
I think what's happened is,
you know,
they've broke up
and he's gone,
this is better.
But,
I miss Shagana.
Yeah. I feel like I'm on such thin ice with this because but I miss shagging her.
I feel like I'm on such thin ice with this because I've been this dickhead.
I've broken up with her.
I miss shagging her.
Walking on my own isn't as good as walking with her.
If I can just walk and shag her,
but then at the end of the day,
I can tell her to fuck off so I can play the Xbox.
That sounds good to me.
So, madam, what you've done is you've...
He's having his cake and eating it too.
I was about to say, you've let him have the cake
and fucking you've gone on windy walks with it.
By the way...
And he's eating it.
Just let us park at that phrase for a minute.
Stupid, isn't it?
Because, like, to us, having a cake is eating it, isn't it?
But I googled that phrase a while back
having the cake
and eating it
means like
you've still got the cake there
and you've eaten it
oh you want your cake
and eat it
have it
scoff the whole lemon drizzle
and be like
we've got a whole lemon drizzle
that's not a real quote though
is it
it's like a misquote
I'm not sure what it is
but that's a misquote
google it
but you're right
that is the meaning of it
but it's a misquote it's something like bollocks having your cake is eating it if you've been with someone for six
years and they it ends like you should never have to be on their internet dating profiles
checking if they're looking for relationships or not that's like there are fundamentals here
when you're writing into this podcast,
asking that question,
if you read back your email,
you know she knows the answer to this.
She loves him.
I'm not saying he's a total cunt,
but he's done that laddy, twatty thing
of being like, yeah, this isn't working out.
Should we leave it?
And she's gone, oh, my heart.
Okay.
And he's gone, yeah, cool.
All right, so we're not together anymore.
But, you know,
I want to go and walk up that hill
and it's weird if I go on my own.
Do you want to come for that walk?
Like couples do.
And, you know,
can I see your pum pum?
Yeah, nice one.
Yeah, so he's been a bit of a douche
because he's basically cake and eating it.
But she knows the fucking answer to this.
You've got to jib him off.
You've got to jib him off.
Or,
um,
trap him with a baby.
Oh,
Oh yeah.
Really,
really good advice.
I didn't see that one.
I didn't see that one,
but Adam's just,
Adam sees things from different angles.
And this is why,
this is why he's the agony on.
He sees it from different angles. Oh, he's,'s the agony ant. He sees it from different angles.
Oh, he's trying to get with other relationships.
He's banging you by the side.
Get pregnant on purpose and trap him like that
because it works and it never fails.
Or here's the other option
because maybe like actually getting pregnant,
that could be risky.
Just tell him you're pregnant,
lie to him for nine months get fat
and have she wants the cake now and if he sticks around through all that then you can be like you
know what maybe he does really love me then borrow a baby for a bit yeah okay it's taking another
turn this advice abducts a child at the end of it that'll keep him
involved
this is easier
yeah
yeah
I mean he won't
start a relationship
with her when she's
not in prison
so let's see how
that works out
in a year and a half
when she's been
convicted
he'd probably
prefer it if she's
in prison now
yeah
as long as they
let them shag for a bit
like when he goes
to visit
doesn't happen
it does
that's from films
it does
conjugal visits it doesn't happen are they does. That's from films. It does. Conjugal visits.
It doesn't happen.
Are they in a caravan?
And it's shaking.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Watching.
Not watch many films,
but you watch them once.
Is that in Armageddon?
Mate, I'm telling you now.
Do the right thing.
I've been that guy.
Don't adopt a child from someone you know because they might recognise it. Don't keep letting him get the right thing. I've been that guy. Don't abduct a child from someone you know
because they might recognise it.
Don't keep letting him get the puss.
Just keep the cake.
Put a wrapper on it and go,
mate, you've had your cake
and now I'm keeping the cake.
I honestly think my idea is better.
You just abduct a child from somewhere
like far away.
Drive to Coventry or something.
Coventry gets some weird...
Literally, Coventry is like
fucking rural Montana
all of Montana is rural
Coventry is two hours from here
if you abduct a child from a big family
it'll take them longer to notice as well
so if you see a family of like six or seven kids
so which type of community
would you think you could get one of them
because who has big families
let's really drive this podcast
into the ground.
My dad's one of eight.
He's a fan of Chinese baby.
Anyway, should we do the next one?
Chinese babies are cuter.
Is your partner Chinese?
Because if he is, extra bonus there.
She hasn't mentioned his race.
He might be Chinese.
Then you need a Chinese baby, actually.
Because if it comes out and it's not even a bit Chinese,
he'd be like, I don't mind. It's getting a bit complicated this isn't it yeah it's almost had a like i'd have made
that weird towards the end uh this one's amazing from anonymous i love how all the advice is from
people who need to be anonymous right then lids bit of a sticky one i split up with my ex over a
year ago and she's since got a new man. Now over the last six months,
I've gone from working in security to setting up a private investigation company, which involves following people, finding out an array of things from cheating partners,
et cetera. Obviously with it being private, not many people are aware I run this company.
My ex partner's new bloke has contacted our office for a quote to find out if his partner, my ex,
is cheating. Now, I already know she's not. She's not that type of person. She is a cunt, though.
Wow, this is sick. Yeah. Do I take on the investigation, secure the bag, or do I just
tell my ex her new partner is insecure as fuck and coming after her with like
private security firms so love the pod you legends ps adam you should come and do a job one day and
investigate some shit i think you'd be really oh my god well first of all i've always wanted to be
a private investigator oh yeah as of one minute ago yeah yeah yeah yeah he would be
staking out a case
and within 10 minutes
he would have put it on
Twitter
or Instagram
it would be on
Instagram stories like
lad
guess what I'm doing
someone's fucking
shagging behind
someone's back
he'd miss it
he'd be like
oh yeah
oh
they've gone
I heard gunshots
but I was
gives a minute gives a minute I'm just checking Insta
It's my job
Fucking Patreon's gone down what's that about
Oh no it's gone back up
I would love to go and help him out
I reckon I could probably help him
You know we're talking about stuff to vlog
I'd be a big fan of watching this content
Adam investigates First of all there's actually someone I'd like to about stuff to vlog be i'd be a big fan of watching this content i definitely like adam
investigates ai first of all there's actually someone i'd like to send the investigator after
who it's not me new missus no i can't tell you who it is okay can you give us any details
what the fuck what was in that panini before you started this episode
well who would you like to send him after?
I can't tell you.
Why did you say it?
Give us some clues that we know.
You massive dick tease.
It's someone you know.
Who?
I can't tell you.
A comedian?
Define comedian.
Gets paid to be funny.
Yeah. Not well. What? Not, doesn't get paid well. him gets paid to be funny yeah not well
what
not
doesn't get paid well
erm
oh okay
yeah
what in
in a
in
can you give us any more details
before
we just get totally annoyed
it's a man
what's his name
just give us that
you nearly got me there
there's professional
there's a professional
crossing of wires.
I just want to know what he's up to.
All right.
When he's not in my fucking sight.
All right.
Yeah, but anyway,
going back to the problem of hand.
What are you ever shaking your head for?
It's the most fucking annoying thing ever.
I would like to get the investigator
to go and follow someone.
Who?
Can't say.
Well, I don't know
whether you're involved
with this thing.
Don't throw me
under the fucking bus.
I'm not.
I'm just keeping my cards
close to my chest
until I find out.
If you found that
a little bit convoluted,
the guy has started
an investigating company
and this new partner
of his ex
has turned up and gone,
listen, I want you to follow
so and so. And he's like, oh my God, it's my ex. Well, first gone, listen, I want you to follow so-and-so.
And he's like, oh, my God, it's my ex.
Well, first of all, confidentiality, you can't break that.
It's only a start to this business.
That's going to be all over Yelp if he fucking,
if he goes to his ex and goes, by the way,
fucking John wants to know what you're up to.
And then she goes back to John and goes,
I can't believe you hired fucking Jimmy to fucking follow me.
Jimmy the investigator.
Yeah.
Like, then John...
Jimmy, investigate!
Somebody stolen my paper from my fucking doorstep.
But, like, Jimmy's business is gone then, isn't it?
PIJ's gone.
Yeah, I don't think it's going to blow completely.
So you can't go see your ex and grass and he fell it up what i would say is you if the police find you investigating your ex and she's
onto it it's not going to be very convincing that you're not stalking her do you know i mean if
she's like my ex is stalking me and the police come to your car and go, Jimmy, lad, you need to look after Claire.
And he goes,
how shit is he at this job, though?
You've instantly gone,
she fucking works out straight away
and you get done for stalking.
Let's assume that...
Women are very perceptive.
Yeah, right.
But let's assume he can get away
with the job that he's been doing for a while.
Like he's been doing private a while like he's been doing
private investigating
it's more just
the moral dilemma
you don't have to work
you don't have to go
long term with like
the business plan
and everything
should he go
right fuck it
it's trade
I've got to do it
or should he
just refuse the work
no I think
it depends how much
money he's got
you know what I mean
if he needs the work
he should do it he definitely shouldn't grass the fella up to his ex Panny D yeah I think it depends how much money he's got. You know what I mean? If he needs the work, he should do it.
He definitely shouldn't grass the fella up to his ex.
Panny D.
Yeah, I think if he needs the work.
I think part of him wants his ex back,
which is why he's considering grassing this up in the first place.
Yeah.
So I'm just going to run with that as an assumption being correct.
He should go to the fella and go look you're right
she's piping behind your back and it's with me he should say he's shagging his ex is it illegal to
hire a pi no no but you can't be cast as like stalking or espionage it's not stalking is it
i think if you get caught and you get a complaint filed against you
then yeah you've got to back off
but you don't just instantly
go to prison because someone's gone he's been following me around
stalker you're done
also you've got to assume that if they're doing this
professionally they're not like
outside a front window with a camera
like hey Claire
shh
go about your business
hey Jimmy knows I've been doing this six months Right, Claire? Shh. Go about your business.
Hey, Jimmy knows.
I've been doing this six months.
Also, your fucking paper's gone.
And I've had your milk.
I wonder how you do start that, though.
Just like be dead good, like... On Yelp?
Not like how you start a business.
Yeah, by being a sneaky fucker.
I think being a PI is a lot like being a podcaster.
All you really need is the
want to do it like i don't think you need any qualifications you just need to go i'm a private
investigator i'll go and have a look for you get set up a patreon get them on there just for three
pound a month like if i had the private investigator and his opening gambit was I'm a private investigator I'll go and have a look for you.
Probably wouldn't hire him
because that's the worst
sales pitch ever.
Do you know what?
If I was this guy
I'd fucking tell his ex.
Why?
Because I'd be more loyal to her
than this dickhead
who's starting...
She's a cunt though?
He said she's a cunt?
Oh yeah, that's true.
So he doesn't like...
I think he just needs to ignore her.
In my opinion,
he needs to just let it go.
No,
I think he needs
to follow her.
It would be weird
because he must,
if you're a private
investigator,
you must get so many
boring jobs
where you're like,
oh,
I don't care.
But how difficult
would it be
to refuse this work
to be like,
could you go and
follow your ex-missus
around who you think is a cunt and you're getting money off their new bell-end boyfriend of all the jobs
you're like i've just sat here in a car like waiting for something to happen to take a picture
and be like oh god this is dull i don't give a shit about these people's life to leave this job
and go no i'm not doing it to be able to watch her and be like oh my god she is cheating on him
what a pair of twats they deserve each other it'd be so hard to follow your ex around
I'd notice if my ex
was following me around
because I know what
they look like
what if she had that
hat on
then she'd have
gotten away with it
he'd have put that
hat on
hat, sunglasses,
fake muzzy
that's not her
she'd never had a
muzzy or a hat
so you'd recognise her
and then talk yourself
out of saying it
Adam walking around
Liverpool like Mr Potato Head.
Tell Adam, no, he never wears hats.
I'm not going to challenge this.
He doesn't have a sombrero.
God, I thought that was Adam, my ex.
But he's wearing a sombrero.
So, can't be because he's not Mexican.
Yeah.
And if I put the accents on as well,
like if Carl turns around and looks at me,
what happened with the sombrero?
No, no, no, no.
Me not from here.
Me Mexican.
Weirdly, one of your best ISIS impressions there.
I'd buy that.
It'd work.
So what's the... I think he needs to...
Just leave it.
Yeah.
I think you need to follow your ex.
And look, like,
who doesn't want to have a little follow with their ex
and see what they'll do?
That's what I'm saying.
It's juicy.
Yeah, I think he's your follower.
And he's got a good excuse.
You fucking stalking me?
No.
Fucking John hired me, actually.
So sure.
So he's at his job again.
Yeah.
Adam cannot get past the fact that he's going to get made.
Like, he's like, you're going to get caught. You're going to get caught. Well, he's gone his job again. Yeah. Adam cannot get past the fact that he's going to get made. He's like, you're going to get caught.
You're going to get caught.
Well, he's gone from security to PI.
I just don't see him getting away with this.
Do you know what I mean?
You can't go from fucking the door of B&M to following your ex around.
Why does he blow his own cover within five seconds, though?
Why doesn't he even go, oh, no, it's just a coincidence?
Why does he go, oh, I'm a private investigator?
You're an idiot.
Yeah. Why does he go, oh, I'm a private investigator? You're an idiot. Yeah, I just...
If it was me,
I'd be taking the work.
Yeah.
It's a punny day.
Ooh, can't be easy
being a private investigator
in a lockdown.
She's still in.
She's in.
She's in. She's in she's in
she's in
she's going to
Asda
oh
fucking Asda
is it
and she's armed
Asda though
because maybe
she's sucking
someone off
who works at
Asda
yeah
yeah
on shift
do you think
on shift
that happens
or maybe
he's on a spree
yeah
there's a queue
at the pizza
counter
fucking anyone want to do the meat feast oh yeah you never know she could be shagging anyone
yeah yeah you find it very hard to keep the question within the question
don't you like that's a yeah okay i've seen the question i take it on the moral dilemma
what if she's sucking off someone from asda we thought about that i think we need to consider that um do you want to do the uh
aaron wood got in touch a couple of people have got in touch they've seen this on the internet
it's about fighting mike tyson as a child oh yeah as soon as i read it i was like
it's very i feel like it's on brand for the podcast. So before we go to our half time,
thank you for the guys that emailed this in. This has obviously been doing the rounds a little bit.
So Aaron Wood was the one that sort of wrote it out the best. He says, hello, Liz, disclaimer.
I didn't think of this question myself. I've seen it somewhere. There's a live televised fight
between you and Mike Tyson, and you get to choose the age that Mike Tyson is when you fight
between one year old and 18 years old. If you beat him, you get a grand for every year he's been
born. So if he's 10, you get 10 grand, 15, 15 grand, et cetera. You get the picture.
This is televised. So the younger he is, the worse you look. If he's four and you win,
you beat up a toddler on live television. If he's four and you win you beat up a toddler on
live television if he's nine and he knocks you the fuck out then you're the guy who got ko by a
nine-year-old child what age a nine-year-old's not gonna what age do you choose to fight mike tyson
up a couple of notes he's added he's done his own research for this bit mike tyson at 15 won
olympic gold after knocking out Joe Cortez in
eight seconds. So, wouldn't fuck
with 15. There's a
rumour Mike Tyson at 12 years old
KO'd a 27 year old man in his
boxing gym. So,
Adam, you're fighting
a young Mike Tyson.
What age are you going?
You want the bag or you don't want to get
banged out? The thing is, like,
like, five grand wouldn't change your life, would it?
Like, you'd have a good couple of months,
you'd go on holiday or whatever,
but it's not life-changing.
Before you answer any more,
can I tell you, one of the emails we got,
it was a million for every year of their life.
It was like, so, if it's one, you get one million,
if you get two.
And the problem with that question is
that
you just bang a one year old
you really just go
I'm not even taking any risk
five million
sounds really good
and you just
uppercut
first punch
a five year old
obviously
if five year old Mike Tyson
gets him and goes,
that was fucking bullshit, and then comes up,
then, you know, it's going to get weird, isn't it?
But I'm telling you, I would swat a five-year-old.
For five million quid.
Yeah.
Five million quid.
For five grand.
Do you know what I mean?
Five grand, you're like, ah.
And because of that logic.
You bet 18 grand isn't life changing so
no but
it could be
that's because of an house
it should be 100k per year
I think
because then 10's a mil
you start getting life changing
alright so
so what about 10
what about 10k
a year
oh well then I'm still
taking a 5 year old
I think it should be
100k a year
because then when he's 10
it's a mil
that's life changing
it's too easy though
it's too easy
because you just go low
a 5 year old half a million quid,
your life's changed and you've got no risk.
I'd punch a 10-year-old dead then.
Physically, I can bat at a 10-year-old,
no matter who it was.
Mike Tyson at 10.
Yeah, he was still two, three foot smaller
than me, I'd punch a 10.
But at 12, he knocked out a 27-year-old boxer.
Can I just say, but guys,
I would love to watch Carl fight A ten year old Mike Tyson
Any older
And it's not fun
Because fourteen year old Mike Tyson
He battered me
Is going to wear you
Like a cock glove
Yeah but I'd blather him at ten
At ten
I think it would be
Interesting
As you laid your
The biggest twenty nine year old punch
You've got on him
And then he went
It's fucking nothing
Does it have to be a boxing fight? Yeah it has to be a boxing fight i'll boot his head off if it was like a right yeah
it's not mixed martial arts although i don't know why that's important yeah boxing's difficult it's
made it far too easy by putting the money up no that's what that's i'm saying we can just find
the line is it what about if it's five grand a year? So at five years old, it's 25 grand. Still five years old.
Yeah?
So you take 25?
Yeah.
Right.
So can we go back to a grand a year then?
Yeah.
It's the only thing that makes it difficult,
is it being so low.
And because it's so low, I'm taking the 18-year-old.
Okay.
I'll just come out swinging, hope for the best.
Yeah.
I'm probably going to lose.
Oh.
Oh.
Wasn't he a heavyweight champion at 18?
I promise you.
A heavyweight,
sorry.
You're genuinely,
it's a worry for your life
and you're going to take that risk
for 18 grand.
Yeah,
I've got to fight him.
Yeah.
I've got to fight him.
Yeah.
At an age.
So,
so why,
so 18 grand is worth nearly dying for i'm not gonna nearly die
i swear to god if he if he just holds back lets you just like try and fucking do your business
and cracks you right at 18 like they're not gonna call you rowey lives yeah change your life if mike
tyson punched you in the face at 18 it would change your life no
it would
yeah
but then I could just
like he's not gonna kill me
I'd just be knocked out
I don't think your podcast
is so good no more
I think 10 is the optimum age mate
so you'd do it for 10 grand
yeah
10 G's
yeah
I think he'd be interested
yeah but physically
he's not
I've got like a 5, six inch reach on him and shit.
Yeah, like 10 grand is still a decent chunk, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So yeah, maybe I'd go towards 10, 2, 11.
Yeah, between 10 and 15.
I'm 28 and you're not the 27 year old, Dodds.
I've got that age majority.
What about you?
You haven't answered yet.
I think 10. This is how ridiculous it is
I can't box
I mean
you can't
but you think you can
I can't
but I know I can't
I've had one fight
you've had one fight
I don't want no more
no
I had a boxing fight
I've been in the ring
I've got experience
gone three rounds
you're right
you're right
you're right
you're right
so probably 17 then
18
yeah cool
I'm genuine I could easily lose to mike tyson the child i'd worry about some of the lads
on the park in sorghal in in cheshire so that's how that's how much of a pussy i am when i had
that to do with those lads on mountain bikes i was like i'm five foot eight i'm not in good shape
and i i really think if they thought about it
and just, I'd be in trouble.
I'd have to think about it.
And they were like 14.
So I'm not fucking with Mike Tyson
any younger, any older than 11.
Yeah, he knocked a 27-year-old out
and that's harder to do than knocking you out, isn't it?
Yeah.
10, I reckon.
I reckon 10.
10's the right age.
In all your heads, though, you're like, we can knock him out. He didn't get knocked out a lot 10 10's the right age in all your heads though
you're like
we can knock him out
he didn't get knocked out a lot
did he when he was young
yeah but he didn't fight me
when he was 10
he was fighting other 10 year olds
weren't he
he wasn't fighting me
in my prime life
he was fighting all the bullies
wasn't he
when he was a kid
yeah but
he was hard as fuck
10
but he can't bang a man
at 10
I hope that gets no context Yeah, but... He was hard as fuck, but he can't bang a man. A ten.
I hope that gets no context.
I don't think we've had a sensei context,
but I honestly, I would love a no context to have a word on.
He was hard as fuck, but he can't bang a man.
And what you've just done now is given them the option to do a no context with you saying the thing he said.
Yeah, I think ten.
You're a child still.
Yeah.
12.
12 is banging 27.
You're old.
Fuck them.
Yeah.
So we know.
Yeah, I'm going 10.
I'm locking it in.
10.
Punch his head in.
Put me 10 grand on
if Bills win the Champions League
this year.
Lose that 10 grand.
How much would you love to see?
I'd just love to see the fight.
This is why it's a weirdly
fun question. Because you're right. If you lose to a 10-year- love to see the fight. This is why it's a weirdly fun question,
because you're right,
if you lose to a 10-year-old,
it doesn't look good, does it?
But I don't know if you're,
oh, I'm absolutely,
like, how tall are you?
Oh, he wasn't that tall, though, was he, Tyson?
No.
He was only about 5'8", 5'9", wasn't he?
Oh, he wasn't that big on the inside either.
He fights on the inside.
I'd keep him.
I've got the reach.
Those early fights,
when he was low, and he unleashed those fucking... Yeah, he's just, he's exploding upwards on the inside I'd keep him I've got the reach those early fights when he was low
and he unleashed
those fucking
he's exploding
upwards
yeah
I wouldn't do that
yeah so
my hit is 5'10
so he's 5'10
if I keep him jabbering
so
so at 5'10
he was fighting heavyweights
all of those fights
in the early days
late 80s
early 90s
where he was
a monster
from the mid 80s
to early 90s all his he was a monster from the mid 80s to early 90s.
All his strength was like coming from low
and just exploding.
He almost like bounced off his feet, didn't he?
And that's what he'd do as a 10-year-old
fighting a five foot nine Adam Rowe.
Oh my God.
I'd give so much to see the look of fear
as 10-year mike tyson really
walloped you and you're in i guess a train i've got to fight as i am now you have to take the
fight like as i am yeah 10 10 then yeah yeah i would batter them at 10 i would i just would
what was his plan it's 10 year old in the world that I can't fucking spar. Was he champion at seven?
Isn't there?
I fucking love it.
He said it so seriously.
I love how seriously we take these questions.
No, lad, you're pissing me off.
There isn't a fucking 10-year-old in the world that I wouldn't spar.
There isn't.
There's not a single 10-year-old alive or dead that I couldn't beat some weird Samoan fucking growth hormones
rugby playing
the Dagestanians
or like Khabib's family
they all fight bears
when they're five
yeah
if he's mad
are you a ten
they wouldn't
because they're fighting
baby bears
it's not like he's fighting
a fully grown adult bear
like me
you're a full bear
are you
I'm a babe
yeah I am
sorry
sorry everyone
Adam's a full grown bear
I genuinely think there isn't a ten year old. Sorry. Sorry, everyone. Adam's a full grown bear. I genuinely, genuinely think
there isn't a 10-year-old in the world
who I couldn't beat in a fight.
And if you're listening to this
and you think my little cousin would,
set it up.
We'll do it for charity.
Right.
I'll smash your cousin's head in.
Right.
What charity do you think that would be for?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Zoe's Place.
The children's hospice in West Abbey
that's where they'd be
yeah
that's where they'd end up
when you find a child
you want to make sure the charity
sort of matches the event
you're paying for the aftercare aren't you
fuck off
set it up
all these kids dying in a hospice
what happened to you
I don't feel so good
The doctor says it's not looking great
What happened to you
Adam Rose sparked me out

could be on the joshua fury undercard on the undercard the undercard it will be on these yeah
no but like just a portion like 20 of the of the gate goes to the charity thing is though it would
get lots of eyes on it would yeah
if you said
did you know Adam's
fighting a 10 year old
on a telly next week
he'd go and put it on
yeah
and I'd knock him out
with one punch
yeah
yeah you're right
be the fastest one punch
in our hat and box
in history
you're right
but like
there's a lot of things
that would get eyes on
that aren't allowed
you know
like if you
said that
Ann Widdicombe
was fighting two badgers
that would get
a load of eyes on
but I don't
necessarily make
think it's gonna get
you know
Eddie Hearn's good

that fight
it sells itself

It's just how we are.
It's a nonsense.
Lovely stuff.
Can I just say
before we go any further
how nice it is to be here
with two of
what I would say
my oldest mates in comedy
and only one of which it was ever tricked me
into hosting a drag night before.
So that's nice.
On this site?
Yeah, I know.
I drove in.
I was like, no, I got PTSD.
I was like, shit.
You know Tony who books the Ron Conn game?
You shithouse.
No, no, no.
I'll get someone to do it.
Lad, cash in on.
Few fucking drags. It was on the forum. It goes up. You know what I mean? Like Friday, who's free? I'm like. Lad, cash in hand. A few fucking drags.
It was on the forum.
It goes up.
You know what I mean?
Like, Friday, who's free?
I'm like, yeah, I'm free.
Nice one.
He goes, it's my run.
Can't get offered good things.
No, no, no, no.
No, don't you fucking dare.
That's not true.
That's not true.
Let him tell his version,
then you can rip up.
So I rock up, right?
And like, don't get me wrong.
I feel like drag is quite sort of in vogue now.
Do you know what I mean?
It's quite cool, isn't it?
Yeah. It's not like... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like when we were kids, drag vogue now. Do you know what I mean? It's quite cool, isn't it? Yeah.
It's not like...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I feel like when we were kids, drag was like a bit like...
I don't know how to explain it, but a bit like...
Revolting.
Well...
It's fake.
You go with your opinions.
Doing your ISIS advert again there.
It was almost a bit like novelty, wasn't it?
Gay culture is very in vogue.
Yeah.
It's almost like it's been,
like we're 20 years into that.
Like the places like the Birdcage in Manchester.
Yeah.
Now let me tell you,
now let me tell you this fella was none of that.
He was straight from Benidorm,
which I'm not even joking.
Half of his jokes were just playing out clips of Tiny Tim.
Do you know Tim fucking, what's his name?
Yeah.
And just me in between,
just asking people what they did for a living
while he got changed that was why i was there it was hack drag yeah it was hack drag and they'd
basically rocked up and they'd gone oh shit who's gonna be on in the fucking change like while he's
backstage changing oh we'll just get pete in to ask some dickheads what they do for a living
so tony had text me you're the chalk on his cheese absolutely mate do you want uh do you want a gig for tonight i was like i'm i'm uh i'm all booked
up mate why and he was like hey well there's this massive i can't remember the name of the act but
this massive act in benidorm and i've gone and secured him for for the heath in runcorn and
i need a compa and i was like what a cv that guy's got. Benidorm, Roncorn.
Who needs to gig anywhere else?
Obviously,
like for our listeners who don't know,
there's comedy forums where you advertise available gigs for people who haven't got work that weekend or whatever.
And I did say it was a,
I need a comp on Friday in Roncorn for sort of a difference.
No,
no,
you did not.
It was,
I need a compare for Friday
in Runcorn
and I'm thinking
he does a gig on Fridays
in Runcorn
fucking great stuff
yeah
love it how in your memory
you're like
I was dead sound
I explained everything
that it was
yeah
absolute bullshit
so then I turned up
and that was
yeah
by the way
that's what
every shit promoter
says
to justify
all of the fucking you-know-whos.
Like, lad, got a gig in Ellesmere Port,
and old boys died.
They want a bit of a turn for the fucking week.
Oh, you're bitching now on the phone,
but it's fucking cash in your hand.
75 fucking big ones in a pan-ed.
Yes, you're going to have to talk to the grieving widow,
but it's fucking cash,
and you're not working at Iceland.
It's always the get out.
Yeah, that's exactly what it was, yeah.
But it was, it was cash,
and I was away earlier than I would have been.
But genuinely, I'd forgotten about it,
totally blocked out of my head,
and then I drove to the wrong car park,
which is chilly about a minute,
but I drove in,
and then I come around there,
and I'm going,
the fucking cunt,
straight away in my mind, just goes, that bastard got me to fucking mc a drag you've locked it out oh it's so nice to have you on pete we don't we actually have the drag act here
thank you it's great to see you did a fucking great job and he also got one of my testicles
you said on the way
you were listening
to an old episode
yeah so you
you texted me today
and you were like
have you listened to it
before
you were like
you know what
you're coming to
don't you
yeah
and I was like
yeah I've listened
to a couple
you know
like the clips
and stuff
I had listened to
everyone's watched
the clips
all comedians
like yeah yeah
I've watched the clips
you know
because I follow you
on online
and I have to
so I'm on my way in and I'm literally coming down that,
to where I got lost by the little roundabout.
I'm coming in and it's the Ishan Akbar episode,
the bit where you're getting him to do just a fuckload of accents, right?
So I'm on my way in and I'd completely forgotten that I was expecting a call
because my mate wanted to foster kids, right?
And I'm his referee.
Oh, no.
So suddenly I go from fucking Ishan Akbar,
telling me he's a fucking nonce from Venezuela or whatever he is.
The Venezuelan bus driver.
Like, I'm right in the middle of that, right?
And I'm laughing and I'm going,
what the fuck have I signed up for here?
And to the phone,
hi, yeah, it's Chris from the foster, from the social services,
just ringing about your friend Paul, about the referee.
I was like,
I cannot fucking do this now.
This is not my day.
I'm not in the headspace.
Let's just box that off right now. You've just had Eshan Akbar
doing his Nigerian bus driver.
What qualifies you to be a reference
for fostering children?
Yeah.
I've got kids.
I've got kids.
Yeah, no, that's it, I think.
That's fair.
So is that what you're asking? Have you got kids, lads? Would's it I think that's fair so is that what the thing you ask
have you got kids
would you leave them
with Paul
no problem
I mean I'm not
going to surprise
but I was surprised
to get the call
I thought
you know what I mean
I thought
he might have gone
for a scattergun
you're essentially
the fostering
phone a friend
yeah I think I am
the only one of his
mates that's got kids
to be fair
so I think that's
probably it
if I was the foster kids
would you be a reference
for me
I would definitely
speak to those people I would like it if that's the route you're going now at this point
in your life i think i'd like to be put down as a uh i don't know if i want to use the term reference
or someone that needs to be spoken to here's the thing right and i didn't think about it with him but like genuinely like like for a job nothing nothing is ever going to ruin anyone's life for that is it right
for like referee for like a fostering you never really know someone do you like i bet no like
is that fair don't talk to. Just get his fucking web browser up.
That's what you really want.
You don't think he's going to do anything wrong to a child.
Absolutely.
But you wouldn't put the mortgage on it.
I reckon I've got two mates who I would say no to if they asked me.
And then there are mates that I'm like, yeah, of course.
But yeah, you don't fucking like...
No, no.
You don't want to be on a Channel 5 documentary in six years.
Knock, knock, nonce o'clock, right? And in six years. Knock, knock, nonce o'clock, right?
And I'm there.
Knock, knock, nonce o'clock.
You can tell he's worked in broadcasting.
He comes up and names it.
Right there, come on.
We're going marketing after this.
Yeah, you know, I'm sat there with my fucking blacked out
with a different accent or something going,
yeah, no, I thought I knew him.
We lived together and everything.
Yeah, with a mask on.
I'm glad you said out
you can't be blacked up with a different accent on channel five not these days
well uh channel five might allow it yeah that's a good point and it what a high pressure situation
to not do lad banter yeah absolutely yeah you know i was on a stag do with him about a year
and a half ago and anything goes
a year and a half later
hi Mr Otway
we're ringing on behalf
of child services
hey
what are that fucking nods
see I
I would ruin it for Carly
yeah
if I was his reference
you know what I mean
I'd make him sound
like
yeah but you'd ruin it
for Serica as well
wouldn't you
that's the tricky one there
you'd have to live
how do you know
he's not just
adopted into Surprise-a what what for Valentine's yeah but you'd ruin it for Serica as well, wouldn't you? That's the tricky one there. You'd have to live... How do you know he's not just adopting to surprise her?
What?
What?
For Valentine's?
Yeah.
One of them cards that pops open,
and it's just the child.
Daddy!
Do you think he's like a puppy?
Yeah.
So I just put a child in a box
and gave it to her for Valentine's Day.
Can you do that, though?
Can you adopt a child
without your partner's sort of presents?
Yeah, yeah, of course you can. Yeah, yeah, yeah. a child without your partner's sort of presents? Yeah,
yeah,
of course you can.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
But like,
yeah,
for Christmas presents
and birthday presents,
as long as it's one of those
big ones,
anniversary,
Valentine's.
Patrick,
St. Patrick's Day.
Yeah.
As long as you put holes
in the box.
Yeah.
It's actually,
they like it
because it shows that
as a partner,
you really care
but no
what I'm saying is
like you don't live
with Seneca
you're not married
so there's no like
legal record
that they're a couple
so can you adopt
a child on your own
could he claim
to be single
to get the child
so child services
aren't like
hang on
where's your beard
I don't think
they would give me
a child on my own
what
I don't think
they'd give me
a child on my own
why not though
because they say that single men can't raise children no because i sit in a room with you talk shite no because i sit in a room with you talk shite and
play fifa that's it but you wouldn't tell them that would you what would you tell them though
you tell them that you want a kid and that's the only prerequisite for what i don't know if they
you know what here's something interesting i don't know if legally they can say flat out that they don't let single men adopt kids.
I don't know if that would fuck with some sort of like,
in terms of like,
it's a weird one.
Cause as I'm essentially saying as a white straight man,
I wouldn't want to be discriminated against.
Yes.
A lot of the pedophilia historically comes from our community,
but, but like, I don't think it'd be a very easy process.
Being like, lad, I'm sick of playing FIFA on my own.
I want a kid.
Fucking player two.
And that's what I'm going to call him.
He doesn't need a name.
Player two.
I'd go for like 10 and up then, age-wise.
10 and up.
Because kids are shit and Xbox aren't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't want a six-year-old like that.
But they can't discriminate against single parents
because like Barack Obama's mum was single.
Okay, I think I get what you're saying,
but I think you're confusing all of that single mum thing
with single dad trying to adopt.
What's the difference, Sam?
What's the difference?
When it comes to adoption,
you are giving a child into someone's trust.
So are you saying as a single lad,
you don't see any problem with a guy going,
listen, can't be arsed with a missus,
like, fucking tidy up your dickhead.
I don't want one, but I want a kid.
All I'm saying is I don't see me doing any worse a job
than Barack Obama's mum.
Fucking hell.
So you reckon you would raise the next president of the United States? I don't see me doing any worse a job than Barack Obama's mum. Fucking hell.
So you reckon you would raise the next president of the United States?
I think everyone is saying
why don't you just knock someone up? It's way easier.
Yeah, but then you've got
what if they get to the point where they want to keep her?
I don't want.
Can I just say though, I'd love to see the next
United States president with a Scouts accent.
You fuck him up up Fuck him off
Have you ever had a Prime Minister with an accent?
Well they all talk like gobshites
Gordon Brown I suppose
Yeah but he lasted about
three and a half weeks didn't he
I mean he's Scottish
It's not an accent
Duncan Ferguson was
manager of Everton
longer than Gordon Brown
was.
Gordon Brown,
Neil Kinnock
didn't get elected.
Yeah, I suppose.
You don't really have,
because in America
it's a thing, isn't it?
So I'm from Florida.
I've got a Floridian accent.
Is it?
Floridian?
Is that the word?
Is that?
Yeah, Floridians, yeah.
No, I meant,
I didn't realise that was quite a thing.
Well, Obama's from Illinois, isn't he?
No, Obama's from Hawaii and he...
He's from Illinois, he has a Chicago accent, doesn't he?
He was born and raised in Hawaii
and he was congressman or something in Illinois.
Oh, right, okay.
But he wasn't raised there.
Right.
Yeah, but there's this white regional...
Look, I love how seriously you took that that why can't i adopt a fucking kid are you calling me a nuts whoa
we're joking about obama you don't joke about obama i'll do i'll do fucking nonce jokes all
day i think obama was quite good no yeah but you seem to like you seem to be quite heavy on the
obama facts yeah well you know i you know, you look at his fucking successor
and you go,
you know,
it was better back then, wasn't it?
Yeah, no, that's fair.
I'm not going to argue with that.
Absolutely.
So you're making an adoption of kids?
Yeah,
my mate's fostering.
Fucking hell.
Fuck me.
It's lovely to be here.
Conversational fucking pinball.
Yeah.
I haven't seen you since the
worst gig i've had in about seven years i think we've all got bits going on for the last time we
saw each other which was the last why was the worst steve buger as manchester uni gig oh christ
you died hard yeah oh i really enjoyed that like as a mate as a mate when when a comedian who's a
mate dies really really fucking bad yeah yeah no i
really enjoyed that one mate yeah i feel like you started to enjoy it as well yeah i did yeah
you've talked about it on the podcast a lot as something that you weirdly enjoyed
yeah yeah could you tell from your point of view yeah so um so adam obviously in the last few years
has started to go down A very definite route
With his comedy
And the students
Of Manchester University
A couple of years ago
Were not fucking having that
Oh that is such a fucking
I think one of them
I think one of them
Started at the back
And just went
Why are you being horrible
About gay people
Not gay people
Actually
Member of the same group
Right okay Yeah yeah Fat people Right yeah yeah Why are you being horrible About fat people Is what she said I think they just wanted not gay people actually member of the same group right okay
yeah yeah
fat people
right
yeah yeah
why are you being horrible
of fat people
what she said
I think they just wanted
they wanted some real
nicey nicey stuff
and yeah
no but I
especially because I feel like
probably like the 10-15 times
before that
I'd seen you
you'd been
you know knocking out the park
smashing it
smashing it
I see you on Twitter
great gig
great gig
great gig
he's down his arse
yes yes yes
come on do you know what's really funny about that night because as we both know smashing it. I see you on Twitter. Great gig, great gig, great gig. He's down his ass. Yes, yes, yes. Come on.
Do you know what's really funny about that night?
Because as we both know,
fucking great comp here,
Pete.
Well,
I was watching you that night,
not have a great gig.
Yeah,
it wasn't a great gig.
And I was watching him going,
I'm going to have to fix this.
And then I went on and was like,
Pete,
ripped it.
That brilliant moment where you're like, oh, hang on.
They're not shit.
It's shit.
So that was the last time I saw you.
Last time I saw Dan was far, far worse for me.
I don't know if you remember this.
So we did Manford's gig in Chorley.
I do remember.
And so Dan's doing a double.
And turns up just before the middle act.
And so the middle act,
I didn't know this
and I'd never met him before.
Can't remember his name.
David something.
He's blind, right?
There you go.
So the middle act is blind.
You might as well call him
David Blind Lad.
Only because I've never seen him before.
David Eagle, I think it is.
And I'd never even heard of him before.
Do you know what I mean?
I haven't heard of him
to this
there you go right
and he was absolutely
cracking right
he was a brilliant comic
I didn't know he was blind
I'd spent
but also we're all
in different green rooms
because of Covid
it was in that little
block in the middle
in like August September
when you could gig
I think it was just
just before we went
into that next lockdown
October
it was October the 31st
yeah
and I announced to them
on stage that we're going into lockdown on Monday.
None of them knew, right?
So we're all backstage and he's wandering around.
I didn't clock that he was blind, right?
No one told me that he was blind, anything like that.
So unsurprisingly, Pete, he sat down, wasn't he?
Yeah, yeah, he was sat down.
I had no idea.
I go out on stage to announce him.
I bring him on, like you say, I'm comparing.
I bring him on and everyone's got their
own mic stand and whatever on the other side of the stage so he walks out and he's got no
fucking idea where his mic stand is and i suddenly clock that he's blind i think i think the woman
went his dog i think the woman went i think the woman went the side of the stage went he's blind
he doesn't know where his mic stand is and obviously usually then i just walk out go and
get his mic and mic stand and give it to him whatever but i feel like anyways everyone's
a bit sensitive about the whole covid touching thing anyways so that's part of the problem
is because you usually there's just a mic in the middle yeah you walk out and he would know where
he's going to that or whatever and it's very but that night they and they're lovely at chorley
little theater but they've got it in the head about, like, you can't sit there.
They were so worried about being shut down, and you feel like going...
What month was this?
This was the end of October.
You feel like going, Chorley Little Theatre, no one cares.
No one's watching.
Ease up a little bit.
But they got it in the head.
They had to have a mic off to the side, a mic in the middle.
You couldn't go.
You weren't allowed.
They were trying to do a one-way system.
And it's all very difficult, even when people aren't blind it's massively and this isn't the funny bit
because at the same time as well you like it's like the whole shaking hands thing whatever some
people don't give a shit but when you're in an audience there was like 150 people in there that
night i'm like i don't want to go on and touch everything because i feel like everyone's
hypersensitive stuff so i'm then side of stage trying to fucking guide him to this mic stand and all this.
So anyways, he did his set great.
I go back on after him and I say something.
I just try and make light of it because you can't pay him when something like that happens.
You just try and like go with it.
So I said something like, I just don't need you all to know.
I didn't know he was blind.
I feel like you all just thought I was being a cunt and I didn't know he's blind.
Made a little ha.
Nobody fucking laughs like at all
at the end of that section
so I come off
and Danny stood by stage
going
did you just try and make that funny
and nobody laughed
and I was like
yeah what the fuck
it's another one of those
beautiful moments
where that night
was really difficult
because they were a nice audience
there was a lot of regulars there
so they'd probably seen
everyone before
anyway
but the announcement
of the lockdown
had just been made
so it really was as we were as i was driving to that gig i was listening to five live because the
the prime minister was basically telling everyone we were going to go into at least a month-long
lockdown his five o'clock announcement and they found out either via you telling them
and the atmosphere it wasn't like they were pissed off
with us but it was tense but motherfucker it had gone weird and the a lot of the joy of comedy
yeah had drained from that a little bit yeah and so the next bit of this i loved that bit
watching you trying to explain that you're not a cunt you just didn't realize he was blind
and that and you could tell in the room they were like but he was clearly blind
yeah absolutely
and everybody in that room
is going
obviously he's blind
because he walked out
going
and I'm like
I'm trying to then go
no but we were all
in different green rooms
and I've not really met him
you know what I mean
so then Dan goes out
to close
and opens his bit of
Pete really tried to
gloss over that bit
and you weren't having it
and they then weren't
even having
it was just going on being eggy and eggy the whole fucking time of pete really tried to gloss over that bit and you weren't having it and they then weren't even having that gig is usually great yeah that night it had got a bit like yeah like everything because
through the whole of the autumn there was like like we're trying to make it work you know we're
gonna go out we're gonna do garden gigs and we're gonna do drive-through gigs and we'll really try
and make it good and then that was the night that went oh no that's all for shit we're going to do garden gigs and we're going to do drive-through gigs and we'll really try and make it good and then that was the night that everyone went oh no that's all for shit we're
going into it yeah we had that uh the in obviously in december liverpool was mainly sort of open
one of the only places in the country that wasn't yeah i obviously did the full run at hot water
and we were supposed to get new year's eve as well but on the 30th they went no liverpool
shutting tomorrow and we had two gigs of hot water that night danny mclaughlin was comparing and he
went on in that early show and it was like 15 minutes after it had been announced so everyone
before the show is sat around on their phones finding out that as of tomorrow you can't go and
see your nan and but that night we were allowed 100 people in a basement in the dark.
Yeah, yeah.
And he had to address it
because he started comparing
and they were like,
yeah, but we can't go anywhere tomorrow.
And he had to be like,
look, I know we've all just had shit news,
but let's just fucking enjoy this.
And Liverpool, I think,
I'm speaking for Liverpool here,
I don't think you saw that coming as a city.
No.
Because you'd all been through the ringer, you'd been held up as this, like, look, there's a problem a city no because you'd all been through the ringer you'd
been held up as this like there's a problem in liverpool then you'd all been tested then all of
those instant testing like there was a there was an amazing setup so you were in tier two while the
whole of the country was either in tier three or tier four and i got a sense from you lot of like
yeah we're sorted because liverpool's all right so it really was a fucking
instant like kicking the balls wasn't it like oh yeah that's gone to shit hospitality who lost
so much money from the food and stuff that they'd prepared for new year's eve i think as much as
that as well i think as soon as they announce a lockdown when you feel like everything's all right
they announce lockdown everybody's brain in that room in that audience just goes oh shit this is
more serious than we've been taking it again.
I'm fucking sat in a room full of people.
Do you know what I mean? Like it felt like that
entirely a little bit.
I didn't get that vibe in Liverpool.
I got the vibe of fucking hell.
Can't go to fucking Nando's tomorrow
before we get on the fucking Mozambique.
Yeah.
And it's also,
anyone that's there isn't isolated.
So Liverpool was in tier two,
but there would have still been
a lot of people in Liverpool isolating and taking it very seriously if you're in a basement room just
after Christmas before New Year's Eve in Liverpool you're one of the ones who's like I want to live
my life so you're getting the news as someone who's like you've just shat on my chips yeah yeah
big time yeah it was a it was a kicker but it was always coming though wasn't it they were literally
they were signaling it they were literally they were signalling it
they were like
enjoy your Christmas
because it's going to get
fucking crappy
I don't know
if we hadn't
you said before
as you got here
you were like
oh I'm out of the house
I don't know if we hadn't had this
if I wouldn't have lost
my fucking mind
I'd lose my mind now
so
I feel very very privileged
at the minute
first of all
we get to come here
we record twice a week me and Carl have been here another day this week to do some other stuff I all, we get to come here. We record twice a week.
Me and Carl have been here another day this week
to do some other stuff.
I'm going to be coming here at least one extra day a week
just to give a bit of purpose.
And obviously we've got some news coming,
which will probably get us here maybe another day a week.
And having started seeing someone new
and having heard around a lot in my bubble,
that's been good.
But when she fucks off for a bit and I'm not here for the day,
if I'm on my own for 12 hours, I start getting a bit...
I can't pick something on Netflix because there's too much choice,
so I just end up scrolling and then putting Friends on.
I can't play FIFA because I never feel better
when I finish playing FIFA than I did when I started playing it.
So I just sit on the couch, scroll, like doom scroll,
and reading every bit of shit news,
looking at the same posts I have for hours.
And then I talk to, like, Freddie Quinn,
who's spending days on end on his own because his missus is a nurse.
I'm speaking to Danny McLaughlin, who's on his own most of the time.
His missus is a nurse.
His missus is a nurse.
Freddie Quinn, the other day in the WhatsApp group,
said something like
it was like 4 o'clock
in the afternoon
and he said
I'm still in bed
what's the point
getting up to go
and lie somewhere else
and I was like
imagine those people
who've been on their own
for a year
at the start of that
first lockdown
I was like
fuck this
I've got a 2 year old
this is dog shit
and then now
I'm like
thank god for the 2 year old
because I've not been
bored once
do you know what I mean
because I'm literally
waking up going,
I've got to do something.
So he needs to adopt.
Yeah, absolutely adopt.
So what we were saying earlier,
if you need a fucking reference,
I'm here for you.
Let's get a little Chinese one.
What if we get a child?
For have a word.
For have a word.
A studio child.
Yeah.
Mum bem wei.
Mum bem wei.
Yeah, we'll get him.
We'll get him in here.
He can do the adverts.
That'll be cute.
Like if you've got a child,
if you've got an adopt...
It's a bit 52.
And we've got a child looking down the camera going,
please, please, please buy the beer.
I nearly didn't do the voice in.
Don't worry, Dan, I've got it.
Please buy the beer.
I need it.
I'm going to die.
If these people cannot afford to feed me
I think having a kid
In a pandemic
Is a
It makes everything
Weirdly more focused
When it kicked off the first time
And everyone was like oh shit
Our jobs are gone
I was having a problem not having panic attacks
Because I don't it's not my
like also because i'm friends with guys like scott bennett who is just a walking panic attack
so there was one point when i was really keeping on top of it but it wasn't just like oh my job
it was mortgage provider yeah kids so it made that more intense but then the day-to-day as that sort
of leveled out and then things sort of got easier the day to day of being like i've got to get up and look after this kid i can't be like
what's the point there is a point because she's like what we're doing like a three-year-old
doesn't know there's a pandemic so you've just got to get on with that we we found out we were
having another baby a week before the first it basically started i was filming on this filming
job and i got the call i got the the call, fucking hell, off my wife,
saying she was pregnant.
Off your agent?
Yeah, I got the call from my agent.
She said she'd been in touch with the-
All right, Pete, got a new job for you here, mate.
Nine months time, you're going to have to be wiping arses again, son.
Okay?
That was proper Australian in the middle of that.
Yeah, so we got that.
So I had that proper fucking at the start of it,
just going, oh shit, this is like, I'm good.
I was literally like, I'm just going to go and have to get a job like straight away and then yeah what did you do oh the rishi
dollars came in we're all good um yeah just well i was i was i was working quite a lot up to it so
it was all yeah it was all good are you still doing the radio stuff now i do bits so yeah yeah
rock fm and radio city i do like their breakfast cover when someone's off and yeah but it's just like a week here and there so if you don't know pete's a comedian that we all we've
gigged with for years but you've also been doing proper broadcasting fucking yeah rocket 97.4
rocket fm i had a job on the radio for like two two and a bit years something like that and then
uh and then they just yeah they just binned all the radio industry off so that went so have you
still been doing that through throughout since the pandemic you've still been going in and everything and then they just yeah they just binned all the radio industry off so that went so have you still
been doing that
throughout since the
pandemic
yeah yeah
you've still been
going in and everything
still been going in
yeah so I probably
get a week every two
months something like
that I go and do it
it's like just
nice little
are you basically
the standing teacher
yeah
are you the substitute
radio DJ
me and another girl
do it together now
a girl
not another girl
I've not come on here you girl not another girl I've not
I've not come on here
you've got news
yeah I've not come on here
for an announcement
just slip that one in
yeah
so
yeah so we
we just do that
and then
yeah and then
yeah just
so that yeah
it's quite nice really
radio every day
have you done radio no no i yeah
i did radio every day is fucking i got an audition sort of do you remember what was the one in oldham
uh shanners shanners did the breakfast show in the weekend the weekend morning show and they
were looking for cover and they gave me a go on a saturday afternoon i was like i think i'm gonna be really good at this i think i've got this went in did it and they never got back in touch really
and i was like yeah it went pretty well yeah and they did not want to know radio is one of those
you can feel like you fucking nail it and you've got a job going and then you can feel like nothing's
coming and then suddenly there's like a a big job and you're like oh shit yeah but it does like so
i when i did it so i was on rock f FM on the Drive Time show for a long time.
And for some context,
Jordan North, who's quite famous now,
I took over his job when he left, basically.
Yeah, and he's just done...
He's just done I'm a Celebrity,
all that sort of stuff.
So he's on Radio 1 now.
That was just for anyone
who's not heard of Rock FM, basically.
So I did that.
You're just on your own,
no producer or whatever
for the afternoon show.
Yeah, I was ready to go when I was done if you're going from there to like gigs and stuff and you're like yeah great because some days you're great you put something out and like
loads people get in touch and then other days it's a bit like like i swore on air one day nobody rang
nobody said anything oh that's brutal i was like oh shit this is over and then the next day I walked in my boss was like morning
were you even listening
John
it wasn't even like
a little
so I was doing this thing
about how we had loads
of fish cakes in our freezer
because content was rife
it was coming up
to Halloween
and I was like
oh I'm just going to
put fish cakes out
and I did this little bit
where I was playing off
and I was like
yeah the kids are coming up
they're like
what have you got
have you got any sweets
and I'm like no we've got fish cakes and they're like no sweets and I was like, yeah, the kids are coming up. They're like, what have you got? Have you got any sweets? And I'm like, no, we've got fish cakes.
And they're like, no sweets.
I'm like, no, we've got fish cakes to fucking burn.
Anyways, Sam Smith is up next.
And like literally no one here.
So that's how you know you just need some validation
as a commercial radio presenter.
When you start swearing on purpose just to feel like,
just to check if anyone's so,
okay, that was Kirsty with the weather. I fuck kids. And let to check if anyone's so okay that was kirsty with
the weather i fuck kids and let's see if anyone gets back with me okay yeah and then sometimes
they'll be like you'd walk in and they'll be like oh great numbers we've had our uh had our
rage hours in absolutely amazing numbers i was like really fuck we were uh we were talking before
you got here today about like uh you know the the the potential of move and have a word to a channel
of some sort yeah yeah do you think it's made up potential there's not like don't worry no one's
coming commercial radio would would let us do what we do because we're just just just from an
experienced all right so i'll give you so i got a um what's it called where you get a complaint like a an off-com complaint yeah i got an off-com complaint once yeah um and so this is this is your
base level lads this is where you're at right so um so every day the i think it was the breakfast
show used to give away a thousand pounds if people answered i think it's 10 questions in a minute or
something they get them all right they win a thousand pounds playing that every morning right
and i had to play it out every day on my drive time show and first of all
commercial radio you kind of like you don't get that many links because you've adverts and all
that sort of stuff and then links you've got you want as your own so playing out someone else's
content every day is a bit like fuck sakes do you know what i mean so i'm trying to give it my own
own spice right and this woman won a grand and she was just like you know like your fucking manchester bit
about yeah yeah the monotone yeah yeah she was like that and i um i think i think i came out of
the link and just said something like so that was kerry from preston who's one of a thousand pounds
for being the dullest person on earth or something like that and uh yeah just you got an off-com
complaint yeah because she rang in and was really... Well, let me counter with something that we had on recently.
I sellotaped Mother Teresa's picture to my face
and Adam called her a cum-guzzling whore.
I think Radio X is there for you, lads.
I think that's where you're looking.
I didn't say she was a cum-guzzling whore.
I said if she ever
got fucked
she might become one
okay
have you emailed
smooth FM
I think classic FM
is off the board
yeah so that was
the sort of
like I think
I can't remember
exactly what I said
but it was something
along the lines
of being really dumb
really innocuous
it was the kind of stuff
that as a stand up comedian
would be the most
gentle of barbs that was always the gear change and I remember like one like one woman really innocuous it was the kind of stuff that as a stand-up comedian oh yeah would be the most gentle
of barbs
that was always the gear change
and I remember like one
like one woman
who was quite matey
within the
in the office
came to me one day
and she was like
oh she went
I talked to my auntie
the other day about you
she hates you
like just about to go on air
and I'm like
really
and she's like
yeah she says
oh god that PE
is horrible to people
and I was like
oh shit, really?
Like, yeah.
Do you ever think people at Ofcom just want to write back and tell people to fuck off?
Do you know what?
Just grow up.
Just shut up.
Do you know what I always get really confused by?
You know when there's like a headline in the Daily Mail where it's like,
134 Ofcom complaints for Love Island last night.
And I'm like, where is the fucking crossover between people who are watching Love Island and people who
complain to Ofcom like where is
that fucking diagram where they're
in the middle going and 134
complaints out of a viewership of
9.2 million
that's natural like oh my god can you
believe 134 people complained
who gives a fuck
every one of our episodes gets like three thumbs down on YouTube
it's probably like the same show isn't it and it's the same three thumbs i'm gonna watch it
who are these people that are tuning in though going yes i want to see some fucking adonis lads
some tits out girl oh he slapped her ass no i'm fucking calling do you know what i mean like yeah
where is the fucking crossover there i love it when people write in and complain to comedy clubs
because if you if you at home
you're on your couch, you've just finished your
fucking chicken dippers, you're like
oh I didn't like that and you're just like
whingy like I'm going to make a
complaint but it's something
else to go to a comedy club
take fucking
umbrage with some joke or like
a side or observation and go
right well I'm going to get home after my
night of comedy which was ruined and write a complaint and the most famous one at the frog
and bucket is when someone hand wrote out a letter of complaint saying i uh enjoyed my night of
comedy we were in the front row with my husband and i where the compere Phil Ellis called me a slag I am a married mother of
two and work in a care home and I think you'll agree I am very much not a slag you're like I
cannot believe she wrote it all out and then and then read it back and went yep i'm sending this
i also think that you know just because you're a married mother of three works in a care home
doesn't mean you can't be a slag do you know what i mean like if you want to be if you want to play
around she shouldn't be speaking for all married women of three
you're not the fucking mp for slags. You shouldn't be speaking for all slags. You're not the fucking MP for slags.
The elected representative.
What is this, Slag Southwest?
No, you are not the king.
I tell you what, though.
What a great place for a fucking stag do.
Slag Southwest.
Where are you going for the stag do?
Dublin, Newcastle, Fortland?
We're going slag town.
All right, I've heard it's really got a good strip this year.
But also, like Phil Ellis,
for anyone who doesn't know Phil Ellis,
he's like, you wouldn't see him on stage doing 10 minutes and go i'm gonna take what that
guy says seriously do you know i mean like he he's so silly he just dicks around and when he calls
someone a slag it's that is the whole joke he's really not antagonistic he takes the piss yeah
he asks a really innocuous question they answer and he he goes, slag. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's something like that.
And she went,
I've got to write it.
And fair fucks to the frog and bucket.
They framed it.
They got it.
They framed it.
They put it up in the dressing room.
Do you know the kind of person
that would actually get really offended by that?
Someone who is secretly a slag.
Yeah.
Like,
do you know what?
I'm going to go out on a limb yeah
and let's let's just for the sake of this hope she's watching uh me and pete thinking a slag no
can you get an off-com complaint for youtube i'm not saying i think she's like i'm saying
the sort of person that might get offended by someone who secretly is or was maybe one day
oh i just think one day. One day? Just one?
Really busy day? I don't think
it's anything to do with what she is. I think she's just
a dry, boring bellend.
She wasn't bad, eh? I don't think she's like,
oh God, I've sucked off three men
in the disabled toilets.
I love what she did off Comstock.
You've just reminded me of
the weirdest fucking start to a job I've ever had.
Morrison's Cafe when I was 16, I walked in and-
You're like the second comic who sat on that couch
who was working at Morrison's Cafe.
Yeah, I put on about four stone in a year.
It was fucking amazing.
It was like literally two sausages for them, one for me.
What a swag.
Swag.
I literally walked in, the woman-
I'd love to see you at the fucking, the hot plate going,
non-sauce for you, non-fatty for me.
Stop eating the sausages!
Stop eating the sausages.
The woman who worked there,
literally about half an hour into my shift,
like little lull in the conversation,
she just went,
how many is the most people you've shagged in a day?
What?
What, different people?
She was like, mine's two. Was that right? And she put the second sausage in the day. What? What, different people? She was like, mine's two.
Was that right?
Has she put the second sausage
in the barn?
I know people
who don't like
a quiet room,
do you know what I mean?
Like an awkward silence.
House of interest, please.
Yeah, yeah.
One.
Just the one.
Just the one.
No, just the one.
Yeah, just the one.
Mine's seven.
The one.

have a word can't base their firm um would you rather from landry this is from landry
okay he's always one of the first to comment on YouTube. Good on you, lad.
All right.
Would you rather be able to pause real life or rewind it?
Bernard's Watch.
So, you get a power.
It's a weird superpower.
It's Bernard's Watch.
I'm too old for Bernard's Watch.
What's Bernard's Watch?
Was it on kids' TV?
Bernard's Watch was essentially he could pause his life,
but he could still move throughout it.
So everyone else was paused,
and he could shimmy through.
So he could play cricket against himself,
was one of them.
He'd bowl the ball,
click his watch.
First thing I'd do if I could pause time,
I'd set up a cricket match.
That's definitely what I'd do.
I would... Hang on. What would you do if you could pause life? What I'd do. I would-
Hang on.
What would you do?
If you could pause life, what would you do?
I would-
Put your hands up.
Who is going straight to a bank like a fucking child?
Yeah.
That's what everyone used to say.
We went straight to boobs.
Oh, yeah.
Definitely boobs.
Yeah.
Me and Carl went straight to boobs.
And you were like, oh, money.
Yeah.
I went straight to the Champions League final
In the end
Such fucking children
You went straight to what?
I went straight to the
Champions League final
So if I gave you
The ability to pause time
Now
You'd go to the
Champions League final
No I'd wait till
Liverpool are in
A Champions League final
Pause it
Push the striker
When it gets cut back
For the tap in
I'd just move people
Out the way
And score the winner So the first thing you'd do Is wait Three years Until in I just move people out the way and score the winner
so the first thing
you do is wait
three years
until they're in
you score the winner
yeah
and no one had noticed
so
how it would look
on TV
was out of
all of a sudden
the ball goes in the box
there's a glitch
in the fucking matrix
and a 29 year old
came in and goes
did it
you know that
Sunderland match right it's the fucking beach ball it's year old came in and goes did it you know that Sunderland
match where I hit
the fucking beach ball
it's like that
but Ro just pops
up like
do you know what
VAR is
what
it'd be a
quite an easy
spot on VAR
what would
oh yeah
you have to make sure
you're in merch
yeah I'd wear the full kit
I'd like
carry Firmino
off
and put him in the
dressing room
and he'd think you
were in for the bit.
Could you imagine if you accidentally unpaused time
when you had Bobby Firmino?
You were just halfway down the tunnel
at the Champions League final.
Everything's deadly silent.
All the players are like,
and you've got not unlocked.
Like Bobby Firmino is what 5'10 5'11
you've got him
over your shoulder
and then all of a sudden
you hear noise
and you're like
oh fuck I've accidentally
unpaused that
and then you see
his big Brazilian teeth
like why the fuck
is that my leg
fucking hell lad
I love it
how you're
you've got the power
to pause time
and in yours
you have to wait
for Liverpool
like eight years go by Adam's like I'm gonna fucking pause the shit out of time. And in yours, you have to wait for Liverpool. Like eight years go by, Adam's like,
I'm going to fucking pause the shit out of time.
I could pause things on the way
and help them get to the Champions League final.
So every game we play,
I just move their goalkeeper slightly out the way of the ball
as he's about to save her.
Yeah, it's going to look weird, isn't it?
As the ball comes in,
and then literally on the rewind,
it would be like...
No, but you could put like...
So you could move the ball so it looked like the ball was...
You know, if you did it slowly, it would just look like the ball was like...
Just look like a wind.
A real problem with gust of wind here in front of the Kop,
especially when the away team is shooting.
The ball comes in, great strike.
Where did boobs go? I'd love to know you want
to look and touch tits i understand yeah but as grown men in relationships who have access with
permission to boobs what were you going to do with pausing times and boobs i've got to be so
i think it's because right i'm gonna to put a caveat in which I'm going to
save my arse here
I think it's because
I watched this program
as a child
slash teenager
when I wasn't married
so that was where
my immediate answer
came from
and when you weren't
married as a child
you always had
and yeah
but also
you can look at boobs
on the internet
but there's like
it's not better
than the one in HD right in front of your face no no but what I mean is but there's like... There's not a better one in HD
right in front of your face.
No, no, but what I mean is like,
there's like...
So, how do you see boobs?
Tell me how you see boobs.
Right.
As a teacher, as a child,
like for instance,
you might have a teacher where you're like,
what do her boobs look like?
Exactly.
So...
Carl, yes, he's with me.
Yes, he's with me.
So, there's a child.
He has Bernard's watch.
Yeah.
He has Bernard's watch. He has Bernard's watch.
Yeah.
So you sat in.
I've just realised how fucking racy this is.
So I just want you to play it out.
This is us as kids.
We're so innocent in my own watching this show.
I know.
I know.
Yeah.
Let's play it out.
You're kids.
You're in geography.
You've got Bernard's watch.
You pause it.
You go up to the teacher.
No.
You unbutton her blouse.
Take her bra off.
Go, well, this is illegal go chebs
teacher chebs then you put a bra back on no you obviously follow her home and wait until she's in
the shower no but wow you were all little mini rapists yes absolutely in the boot i'm not saying
i do this by the way i'm just saying I know what they're saying genuinely though
if you want to tell me that this is a sexist thing
you cannot tell me for sure
that there's no one in an all girls school
having a look at Mr Rogers dick
let's not make it a battle of the sexes
is that the one they're going for
I love it how I don't know
old dick Roger
not just Roger
we had a teacher at our school um who was
the head of history and his name was richard and when he answered the phone when you were in
detention he would answer it hello this is dick head of history and fuck me he would literally
he knew what he was doing because he would look up and go like you're not allowed to fucking laughing
then yeah no i would just like to go back to that boob thing and just go head of history hello this
is dick head of history that boob thing was just go, head of history. I know this is dick head of history. That boob thing was my immediate answer
and I've just realised it's because
that was really ingrained in me.
As a child.
As a child going,
yeah, you want to look at boobs
and I want to look at that teacher's boobs.
That's what I want to do.
How does it work at a bank,
the old pausing time?
I have to admit,
the pausing,
no, guys,
I swear to God,
it's like I'm talking to all the 12 year old versions of you.
Like, what boobs? What a geography. What Mrs. Chester's tits. I'm talking to all the 12 year old versions of you like what boobs
what geography
what Mrs. Chester's tits
I just want to see them
you know
I know it's sexual assault
but she's paused in time
she doesn't know
so is it sexual assault
if she doesn't know
do you know the funniest thing
hey
if a tree
falls in the forest
and no one hears it
is it
so if I touch a teacher's tit and time is paused,
am I a nonce?
Why is this nonce?
The scouse is the nonce.
A child nonce.
It's the other way around.
Great, brilliant.
It's anti-nonce.
That was literally like arguing with a woman, Matt.
Like, oh, nonce.
Nonce.
I've got you on the back foot now.
You said the wrong word.
Do you know the most amazing thing about that?
Well, a nonce is the worst thing you can be in the world. a child looking at an adult's tits is the opposite of a nonce so
it's the opposite of the worst thing in the world which means the best thing in the world your
child and a teacher's tits means good mental mental this is my business partner yeah no
absolutely i would i would like to and this could be i mean this could be like a youtube video that
goes viral type situation
i would love to see 12 year old boys try and panic while they're trying to get a bra back on for the
first time because they've never fucking touched oh my god i can't fucking do the clock i'm gonna
live here forever i really feel bad for the teacher yeah there's a kid like sat back and
sweated looking all flustered as time starts again and she's got like a bra
wrapped around her head one tit out her hair's all like children oh yeah yeah yeah so that's
yeah that's definitely where but i feel like i feel like they were asking for that
i feel like i feel like i feel like they've managed to get out of this and you keep putting yourself back reverse back down
no
can I can I can I just
I feel like
I feel like they were asking for that
doing Bernard's Watch
like as a
kids TV programme
going
yeah
we're gonna make it possible
for you kids to do anything
and all these little lads
just going
yeah
genuinely
how useful is it
like
like
I don't
how would you rob a bank
if you could pause time
you'd have to like
rob the drawers wouldn't you yeah you'd end up robbing small independent businesses yeah basically
you'd be just robbing cash only car washes tax dodgers fucking money launderers how depressing
would that be as you tried to fucking rob the fish and chip shop and you couldn't get in the till
and everything's paused around you and you're moving around how could you ever not get in the till you just wait until she
fucking opens it and then you press it all right yeah yeah yeah good point i just rob old women's
handbags yeah you can do that anyway you don't need to watch for that you need a claw and a mask
i'm gonna drive back to the Lake District after this.
A little safe place.
How bad would things have to get for you to rob someone who's vulnerable?
Fucking hell.
How is that a question?
Nope.
You've been in a weird mood all day.
It's like he's trying to find the line
of where we can get our own show cancelled
yeah
do you reckon any of our sponsors watch?
not convinced
not absolutely convinced
do you think Rybina are still involved?
you'd just go for like the ones
you'd do a bit of searching with it, wouldn't you?
You'd go and find really old pricks.
You know what I mean?
If someone's like really old and racist.
No, I'm not pausing time to rob old people.
No, he's not talking about that.
You're absolutely fucking numpties.
He's not talking about that.
He's talking about like if you are on hard times
and you know robbing old people,
easy money.
Yeah.
You find them offshites.
Old racist nuns. Right right so you've got to basically
research to find out that they're like a racist yeah to find out the sexual offenders near you
it's called nonce near me.com is it knock knock nonce is it not is it.co.uk or.com it's nonce
near me.com because it's worldwide all right put your postcode in tells you how many sexual
apprentices there are in your area yeah yeah yeah that's an actual thing in it yeah it's an eye it actually is a real thing
fuck off i just thought you'd be in it no no you can get an app and it shows you on your road who
is on the sexual offense on your road it does it says no i know but they're not on every road are
they no no it's not like which one on your own 14 but yeah it says because you've got to sign
the register to be for public
knowledge so it lets you know once you've gone on it yeah there's that thing in um raising arizona
where jesus the bowler has to go around and tell everyone on his new street that he's a
sex offender and i was like i honestly again you know through films you think things are real
i thought you had to do that if you moved in as a sex offender yeah let your neighbors know that you were on the list just write nonce on your own house no just knock on
like you just just moved into the neighborhood i've made you some banana bread enjoy that lovely
with a cup of coffee just before i go i am a sex offender okay little kids okay lovely lovely stuff
okay smashing great stuff probably get them to play in the back garden what would you do if you
went on noncenamee.com
and you checked your family out
and you found out that their house was on the thing?
It'd be horrible, that, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
Like, noncenamee.com, you put like...
I think finding...
Are we pissing around?
Is this a website?
I'm trying to get the podcast cancelled.
I don't think it's called noncenamee.
I don't think it's called noncenamee.
I think it's like... It's not called noncenamee. No, it's called I don't think it's called Nonsense Near Me I don't think it's called Nonsense Near Me I think it's like
It's not called Nonsense Near Me
No it's not
In fact calling it over here
I'm going to give you that
Right
Someone get that website
Get the domain
Let's do it
No
But there is
There is a
You can check
You can check who's near you
A Tinder for wrongans
Yeah well
Yeah
I'm looking for a wrongan
And I'm not willing to travel more than
10 miles yeah yeah good word nonsense um it's uh yeah what would you do for what one of your
family members yeah if you found out like your fucking your uncle or whatever was like on the
list would you then bring it up with them because i don't think it tells you what they've never
fucking on the website i don't think you get like it they've done I've never fucking seen it I don't think you get it does
there's a picture of them
on their offence
all of their offences
yes
it's a register
like when you look
at a football player
and it tells you
what they've won
like their appearances
where they've been
honours
in the wikipedia
2011
2012
career statistics
fucking hell
they got a gun in Benidorm
he's got an international cap
it lists the offences
as a picture of their face
Christ almighty
I mean beyond
your family
did they get to
pick the picture
they use
I think it's
like no filters
it's like the
passport pictures
isn't it
no filters
allowed
you can't take
a selfie
it'll just be
like a
have you never
been arrested
in that year
mugshot taken
no
have you not
have you been
arrested
have you
three times
yeah
you've been arrested three times you? Three times, yeah.
You've been arrested three times?
That's a weird segue from... Nonsfinder.com.
Have you never been arrested?
No.
Fucking hell.
Well, good.
What have you been arrested for?
First one was...
Oh my God, Pete.
I've talked about this on the thing in Australia
where I pissed off a balcony.
Yes.
And there was a policeman still below me.
I say I pissed on a policeman. Is that a true story? Yeah, yeah. I was pissing off a balcony and there was a policeman stood right there and he was like right um second one drink driving but
didn't get done right but to be fair because uh because you live in cumbria no one cares
we were quite far away so this is just another story i do with stand up but I was 17 we'd gone to a beer festival
I drove us home
there was
six of us in the car
my mate Sam was in the boot
can I just say
of your parents
to let that ride
right guys
where you going
a beer festival
at 17
just got your licence Pete
well as long as you're
the designated driver
I can't see a fucking problem
so my mate Sam
was in the boot
like just like had a massive 10inch gash on his head.
I literally put my hand on his head
as soon as he got out of the boot,
and blood was dripping down my elbow.
What happened with the crash?
We were, well, the car was quite heavy
because it was overloaded.
And you were drunk.
And I was drunk.
Look at you blaming the vehicle.
What happened with the crash?
There was no power steering.
There was no, yeah. There was no...
Yeah, so we went through a wall at like 40, 50 miles an hour.
Through a wall?
Yeah, yeah.
Into a family home?
A field.
We're in the middle of nowhere,
so we called for the police right away.
I was like trying to make myself be sick and stuff
to try and get like alcohol out of my bloodstream.
That normally helps as well.
Yeah, yeah.
If you're sick, so you smell more like alcohol.
I was sick in a conference.
There was a bottle of absinthe on the
back seat that had gone all over everybody so we were scared that that was going to go up when the
police turn up and they're like can you smell can you smell alcoholic sick and he's covered in
vomit i bet you he wasn't driving so we got we got to um we got to uh we got to the they came over
they blew me and i blew up like massively and then um went back to the police
station but this was like quite a while later i hadn't had that much but like uh and then we got
back to the police station basically and then they have to do the official one that's the legal one
and there's a legal limit and then a prosecuting limit and there's one or two milligrams between
so that they can't say in court well maybe it was the uh yeah i know what you mean
um and i was in between the two limits at like that was like three hours later basically uh so
they sent me on a driven dangerous driving course that was the second one and then this third one
you got away i'll tell you what you got away i know big time i know you've not i know we're
making light of it there but if there's anyone that yeah oh just don't do it like it is yeah it's it's such a killer the police turned up and she was like she's so we went and saw her the
next day because so we crashed in the middle of nowhere in the lake district and my mate lived
like three fields away and he was like look there's too many of us here the police can ask
questions i need i'm closest i'm gonna run home right so one of them ran home right and then the
police turned up it's like yeah normal five of us why has he got massive gas in his head oh there was a skateboard in the boot and it came up and
hit him on the back of the head we said right so then next day my mate george who'd run home goes
he was in the middle seat just with that belt on and he was pissing blood and uh so we had to go to
the to take take him to the hospital had to go back to the police station because at the hospital
they were like you were here last night weren't you because i took him to the hospital they were like yeah yeah and they were
like uh he wasn't here was he part of this crash and they're like yeah so took him and they were
like you need to go and amend your statement at the police station so went to the police station
and she was basically like look and this isn't i wouldn't make light of this but she was like
we turned up and we immediately said this is multiple fatalities like no problem at all
and then obviously wasn't but yeah awful so yeah so that
was the second second one um and then third one was the murder yeah yeah murder different rules
in kendall in it different rules in kendall australia piss on policemen yeah you drink drive
you get away with it yeah and then uh yeah and then i just called the policeman a cunt basically
you call them a cunt yeah there was a reason well I was a bit pissed off
with the police at the time
where was this
in Kendal
were you at the
Black Lives Matter
parade
I was just a bit pissed
I saw it
it really kicked off
in Kendal
the Black Lives Matter
they really got behind it
basically my
I don't know
this is comedy podcast
come on though
but it's good
yeah yeah
alright alright
if it's all shtick
it lacks a bit of backbone
alright so my
funny first interesting second yeah this I'll say this next sentence you two will go
oh okay uh so my old man died in a car crash and uh he died in the middle of the lake district
now we're talking yeah there we go um and uh the dead parents sorry yeah we've done
mine and yours yeah and you i'd press it. Just don't laugh.
Just a little joke, lads.
Come on.
You all right, lad?
So this was like on the Friday or something, right?
And on the Sunday, the next day,
so my old man's died in a car crash.
And the next day, I log on to Twitter
and I follow our local police force
and the local uh it's like a police officer who's taking a selfie at the bottom of my dad's crash
site going lovely view from the office today um so i tweeted it out of the official fucking
police so obviously i went nuts and for a little while after that i was a little bit fucking pissed
off with the police so genuinely this guy took a selfie woman yeah she took a selfie like the
obviously the crash wasn't in there but i knew where it was she was like uh oh this pass in the
lake district is closed today um what a lovely view from the office i'm having though or something
like that and i what was that what was her thinking there that it raises awareness of like don't crash
around not even a crash but just like like content is king they literally try and like, don't crash around here. No, not even a crash, but just like... Content is king.
They literally try and do content, don't they?
They try and do like friendly stuff.
And I personally, since then,
I've got a bit of a fucking bee in my bonnet, obviously.
Personally, since then, I feel like official Twitter accounts like that
should just be for official things.
It's not like, you know when it's like,
oh, have you seen this police account that's having banter with so-and-so
or something?
I'm like, nah, fucking bring that on.
Yeah, because of course course any official account is
sorry about that we had a little bit of a tech issue when when the camera went just as we were
getting to a fucking juicy bit slagging off police twitter police twitter so tell us once again pete why are the police overfunded
but it is it is just some 23 year old who does the media account and definitely so he's like
oh my god this will be great when football clubs get annoyed because the football twitter account
did banter and it was like it's fucking disgusting you shouldn't shouldn't do it it's not the club
is it yeah yeah it's some bell and going also when it's a football club like it's a football club
like they're not like yeah publicly you know i mean it's i don't know yeah when it's the ballers
when it's the fucking police uh it does seem weird for the police to be having banter about
deaths and stuff don't it about anything i feel like just anything just like just shut up and be the police without being a dick like just get on with your job do you know
what i mean like it's not your job isn't banter like and if you're one of the bell sniffs that
follows your local police constabulary then you're part of the problem as well like who do you follow
get some absolutely cracking banter from fucking west yorkshire police that's great no definitely
and then like yeah you seem like
go viral now don't you because like policeman's done a fucking funny reply but just to go back to
why we brought this up in the first place yeah yeah so you got arrested for calling a police
so me and me my now wife were on our way home after a night after like a big afternoon drinking
yeah it's like 11 at night driving again yeah yeah driving i did not learn his lesson i
just thought for a piss uh we're walking up to my mom's house and literally we're like 200 yards
away or something and i think we're having an argument over pizza and the police stopped because
like two people are arguing in the street on a sunday night it's not like um classic police
stop for that in kendall yeah yeah yeah yeah because in liverpool they were just driving right
past that shit.
And so she's going,
no, no, he's fine.
He's absolutely fine.
Don't worry.
And then they're going,
I think they wanted to check that she was all right.
And then...
Which is fair.
Yeah, which is fair.
And then their boss turned up
and he,
Emma literally went,
look, we're going to that house there,
like 200 yards away.
Just let me get him there.
He'll fucking fall straight asleep.
I'll eat the pizza. Don't worry. And he went, went right just go home right now and we won't do anything and
apparently i just turned around and went yeah well you're a cunt aren't you he's like i've got to
arrest you know haven't i like that's literally like yeah i'm allowed to swear at them i don't
think no what it's like one of those i hate adults who don't like i swear words you know
like you should be allowed to call the police
whatever you want to call them.
But would you should think?
If it's their job,
should they have to take that off you?
I think...
Yeah.
I'll put it here now.
I think it's absolutely fair enough
that I was arrested.
Right.
No, I think you should have been...
No, you can't say whatever you want
to an officer of the law.
What if they are being a cunt?
Yeah.
I mean, that's... The issue there is he wasn't, was he? whatever you want to the off an officer of the law what if they are being a cunt yeah i mean that
the issue there is he wasn't was he that probably has happened historically yeah but you know yeah
my dad called the policeman a gobshite didn't i told you that story when i got done for wasting
police time didn't get arrested um yeah and basically i told the police i'd been mugged
which i had and they went well we don't think you have
and if we look into it even more
and we find out you definitely haven't
then you'll get a criminal record
and this was in my dad's living room
and my dad just went
he's being a gobshite
just fucking paid a fine
tell him to fuck off
just move on with your life
and they didn't do him
because he was actually
talking to you about him
yeah
clever
yeah that is clever
that's a little
apparently that's a little rule as long as you're not
looking at the police officer yeah well you won't turn to stone love listen we will go home but i
just want you to know not looking at him he's a cunt so yeah so that was my that was my three
arrests how fucking what a wuss that i've never been arrested i feel like yeah well i feel like
it is surprising that i've been arrested though.
Like, I feel like.
You were one of the more.
In this room.
It's you.
Yeah, I feel like I'm a bit of a fanny really.
Who are you looking at?
No, I don't know.
I'm very respectful when I need to be.
I mean, you were both quite surprised,
to be fair,
that I'd been arrested at all.
So I think three times.
No, I wasn't.
Well, you're an edgy,
you're an edgy radio presenter
but you're not the harshest comedian we know
you are married with two children
and you live in the fucking Lake District
yeah
close to the Lake District
you're not exactly like
Omar from The Wire are you
no
no
yeah
I wonder what I will be arrested for
because it's going to happen
you know
you know what I mean I wonder what it'll be arrested for because it's going to happen isn't it you know what I mean
I wonder what it'll be
it's not going to be drugs
nope
I don't take drugs
I'm not going to rule out
selling them
I don't
I can't see that
in your immediate future
no I can't see it
you basically drive between
Runcorn and West Derby
so you're not like
top of the mule list
lads
take this package
over the fucking
Mersey flow
I feel like
you're best we've got four kilograms of heroin,
but we're not paying the fucking toll.
Send Ro.
I feel like your best chance is during COVID,
just fucking like...
Yeah, having another house party.
Got away with the first one.
Bubble?
What?
Bubble.
Fucking bubble bath, lad.
Fucking bubbles everywhere, lad. I didn't do that of course like everyone doesn't know anyone who follows you on instagram's like yeah i'm all right i haven't
done anything all right cool yeah yeah no no i was just i was you made a joke and i was making
a joke as well yeah yeah you know uh-huh You know? Uh-huh. You're full of cum bubbles. Anyway.
If I was single and didn't have kids and wasn't married and stuff,
fuck me, I'd be...
Breaking the rules.
Not living by the rules that are in place.
Yeah, but the thing is,
you live in Kendal,
and as we've just learned,
the rules don't really apply to you lot anyway.
I'll tell you why they don't apply.
Talking about drink driving and stuff.
I went and worked out in Australia for a while
on a farm,
and the farmer was a bit of like a local celeb. And one time he got arrested, pulled over for drink driving and stuff i uh i went and worked out in australia for a while on a farm and the farmer was a bit of like a local celeb and one time he got arrested pulled over for drink
driving and he goes uh so we've just been at the curriculum all afternoon he's had a couple of
beers or whatever but literally i mean you're driving like in australia it's like in a fucking
desert and it's a straight line back to his house where was it in ours it's not like built up sydney
it's like four hours outside of melbourne four hours east of melbourne place called
gippsland it was like proper dairy farmer country and that's what i was doing i was milking cows Sydney suburbs. It's like four hours outside of Melbourne, four hours east of Melbourne, place called Gippsland.
It was like proper dairy farmer country and that's what I was doing.
I was milking cows, right?
So we drive from this,
we drive from this,
from this fucking,
he's probably had like two,
two too many beers than he should,
but like they drink them that big over there.
So it's like nothing.
Driving away,
gets pulled over.
Policeman comes to the window,
he goes,
oh, Ian, you're on mate.
He's like, oh, fuck it.
Oh, we know this guy then.
And he goes,
oh, have you,
have you had a drink? And he goes, oh yeah, yeah yeah so he blows his thing and it blows up as well
he goes oh mate you're lighting up like a christmas tree and he goes well i've just
had a fucking sip so can you do it again in five minutes like he's literally drinking on the on the
wheel he's going oh yeah yeah that's fine chatting away and then they blow him again and he goes ah
that'll do and that's it and they just send him on i got told by my bar i think i honestly think and that's not making light of like you're
driving i think country australia is like a different fucking yeah of course it's like it's
like it's literally like living in a fucking desert do you know what i mean like if he come off the
road he's not doing anything do you know what i mean he's like over the air they have to wait 20
minutes after your last drink to breathalyzer my barber told me that oh really so if you say if they go when did you last have a drink if you go literally five minutes ago They have to wait 20 minutes after your last drink to breathalyzer. My barber told me that. Oh, really?
So if you say, if they go, when did you last have a drink?
If you go literally five minutes ago,
they have to wait 15 minutes before the breathalyzer.
Gives you more time to sober up.
Yeah.
And then they come back.
I mean, but if you're way over, it's just, you're still done, aren't you?
But there's a chance it could bring you down.
If you've had like two or three pints.
Is it fair to say you've just finished?
The agricultural communities have a
slight issue with drink driving and the rules on drink driving because once you're in the country
you're like ah i know those rules apply but not really to us because i mean like a 10 square mile
radius there's me farmer jones and farm i've never done it again but that was definitely my thinking
when i was 17 years old like we took we took the country lane home do you know what i mean like there was a dual carriage where we could have gone yeah and
then in rural australia it's just another level i know someone who was told that so i know someone
who served in uh the army and he served in iraq and when he come back he was speeding on the motorway
and he had had a drink and he was pulled over by the police and was getting into it and stuff. And the policeman seen on the back of his,
uh,
the back of his car and on the back seat,
like his army uniform was like,
what's that?
He's like,
I just got back from Iraq and he put the breather out of the way and was
like,
Oh,
I can tell you're not drunk.
Uh,
yeah.
Get off the,
get off the motorway or someone else will pull you over.
Take the country lane zone.
Yeah.
Drink driving on a motorway is not the same thing
as rural Britain
or Australia
is it
if you're pissed
and you're on a motorway
you
this person wasn't pissed
but he was over the limit
it's the most dangerous place
you can be in it
ridiculous
oh fucking hell
shall we do
or have a word
to wrap this off
as it's you know
a tradition
old boy
we should
it's the title
of the show Daniel
it's time to have a word with Adam and it's the title of the show daniel it's time
to have a word with adam and dan tell us all the problems you have with your friends this was going
to be the whole podcast and now it's just the final 10 percent um uh have a word right want
to keep this anonymous fucking hell guys grow some balls man put a name on it. Give him a name. Is it a man or a woman?
Don't know.
Sam.
Sam.
Weird.
Weird that you'd pick that one.
Okay, right.
That's a really good point, actually.
Billy.
Billy, okay.
This is from Billy Piper.
Could be Elliot or Piper, yeah.
Yeah.
Have a word.
Want to keep this anonymous.
My name is Billy, Elliot or Piper.
Eilish.
So I'd like you to have a word with my boyfriend.
He has a girl best friend, which any other time I will be okay with.
It's a female.
Guys, it's female.
We've got three female listeners.
Let's concentrate.
However, they have a bit of a romantic history,
and she has made it very clear to me that she still has strong feelings for my boyfriend and that she does not like me at all.
My boyfriend does not see an issue with this.
There have been times where they arranged to do something,
then last minute he will fuck off to go and be with her.
Once or twice, I wasn't asked about it, but it's all the fucking time.
She even has the audacity to message me and let me know my boyfriend is with her
and I don't have to worry.
She rubs it in my face every time I do eventually
see him and she's there. So please
can you have a word with him because it
makes me feel like pure shit and makes
me think he still loves her. Also want to
clarify this was going on before lockdown
and I just don't want it to happen again
whenever Bojo lets us the fuck
out. Thanks from
Billy Piper.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah I mean fuck out thanks from billy piper batman no no no no no no i mean like i'm sorry i i i don't
consider myself the jealous type but fuck that noise mate like new new new new as your missus
got male close friends no no killed them all gone dead
they're all dead
yeah
mysterious accidents
terrible stuff
they were in the
fucking boots as well
I tell you what though
I've got
I've got some
female friends
yeah
that I'm still mates with
but nothing like
what
have you been with them though
no
exactly
that's the kicker isn't it
oh I have
I
one of my best men was a woman.
Right, yeah, yeah.
I had three best men and a best woman.
Kate John was,
although she was really going to be a groomswoman
and she went,
mate, give me this
because I really want to be a best woman.
Can you give it me?
I was like, yeah, all right, fuck it.
She wanted it more than it would have bothered me to go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So she was best woman.
I also had Morgz was one of my groomswomen.
Yeah, yeah.
Kate Mulgrew is one of my
really
like best mates
my friend Kate John
is one of my best mates
the proviso
of that friendship is
that you have
never
yeah
stuck your dick
in or around them
or want to
yeah
it's just
as Adam says
that is the bottom line
yeah
if you
if you
if you if you would Bernard watch her,
then it can't,
then you cannot be friends with her anymore.
If she's even in your top 10 of the Bernards watch,
then you are not allowed to be anywhere near her anymore.
No, no, no.
It just can't happen, can it?
No, he's being. This is the second one of these. Really, yeah. It just can't happen, can it? No, he's being...
This is the second one of these.
Really, yeah.
Where we've got boys, we've got girls.
I love it that girls watch our stuff and listen as well.
And I think because we're two guys on a podcast
and we talk a lot of shit,
but if you call out country, you call out country, don't you?
The first one before you got here was basically a case of a guy going i know we split up a while ago but i still want to fuck you
and then not be in a relationship with you so that's shithousery isn't it and this is
this is not good no are we having are we having a word with him yeah he's gotta fuck one of these
women out of his lives out of his life do you know what i mean he's got to fuck one of these women out of his life. Do you know what I mean?
He's either got to stop being mates with that one
or Jim is Mrs. Off.
I think the thing is as well,
are they in a friendship group?
Do you know what I mean?
That's all right.
You can see them in a group situation.
They're not, though.
These two women hate each other.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They don't like each other at all.
Laura's got no mates that are guys.
Yeah. And when we met six seven years ago i was like oh why is that because i've got my mate claire kate mulgs and she was like um because they always try and have sex with me yeah and like
she wasn't she didn't say it in an arrogant way in any way. But Laura's beautiful.
But it always gets weird.
If she's mates with a guy from work and they get on really well and they've done it under the guise of like,
oh, no, we're mates, you know, I'm a mate from work.
And then inevitably, works night out, they do the leaning.
The old works do leaning.
What about... they do the the leaning the old works do leaning well what about
I
yeah
so she just hasn't
got any male friends
I think I've actually
only got one
real like
that would meet
for a drink outside
you've met my mate
Lauren
oh yeah
and she's well sound
yeah and also
we all went to school
together me her
and my missus
so it's sort of
different in it
like they know
each other their mates
so that's sort of different anyways but yeah like yeah that's eggy as fuck yeah it's just
like once you stuck the dick in do you know what what i would say is we're having a word with him
but it's down to you mate and it was the same with the first email you know if you're writing in like
all you're doing when you're writing in is going
i know what the problem is like you're asking us for a judgment and we're going yeah of course
yeah but what she's doing is she wants she wants to be able to go to him and go well they agree
with me dickhead so you can keep all the arguments to yourself literally these three cunts sat in a
fucking cupboard in runcorn think you're a dickhead as well. It's not just me. And we've got
female friends and we get it but
if you're with someone and you love them
there's a lot of trust involved in that
and they go, mate, can I just say
that I know you're mates with her but you have
fucked her and she is a weird
like, she's weirdly bitchy with me
and it makes me feel insecure. If you turn
around and go, nah, you're talking shit
then that's not on, is it? To play devil's advocate really quickly, though.
That's what we're here for.
Surely if he wanted it, he would be either carried on doing it.
I think he is.
Do you reckon?
Yeah.
Best of both worlds.
100%.
Honestly.
Is he tupping on the side?
You know, this have a word, just lulled a little bit
as we came to a really normal sort of agreed conclusion.
There was a part of me after doing this with Adam for so long
that was like, that's weirdly not satisfying
that Adam hasn't accused someone.
And then you're right at the end, you're like, no, he is.
He's fucking someone.
He's shagging her.
No, look, you can't tell me.
No, I agree.
You can't tell me that there's nothing at least,
like, I'm not necessarily saying he's knobbing her
and she's fucking biffing him.
Do you know what, as a man, I would find it,
let me get this right.
Right.
I think I would find it hard to be around a woman
who I knew wanted me if I wasn't gonna right is that right is that the reason you
don't go to gay clubs yeah absolutely just because when you're around men that just want you you're
like i totally agree with what you're saying no i'm not i'm not saying i'd even be tempted
but i feel like it would bring in like a level of temptation even if i didn't fancy it i'd be like
well if i could do you know what i mean like i feel like it would always be there in the back
of your mind does that sound yeah yeah yeah I'm trying not to get into trouble on
here no but you're right and any man who says otherwise he's like no I just like the fact that
I know that I'm attractive and I just know they're talking shit I wouldn't even want it in my
parameters I'd be like no I don't even want to know if anybody likes me hey and also we're not
we're not talking about being mates like yeah like you in life you've got your partner's mates you've got old friends you've got your mates
girlfriends you've also in comedy there's loads of attractive like like comedians and there's people
who work behind bars and in management and in promotion and everything but being best mates
means that at points yeah you will be like like there'll be
intimate moments won't there well it's just you two watching a film yeah it's just you two at the
end of a night out it's just you two like oh fuck i can't get a taxi back it's so late uber's not
working i'll stay in the spare room that's being close friends there are some people who you're
like listen i know we're sound but i can't be in those situations with you because it's entrapment.
Yeah.
It's not even about the temptation thing.
Genuinely.
I don't think I'm being temptation.
I feel like just like.
No, but if he wants to be with this girl who's written in,
he's got like, look,
some men and some women are absolute, insecure,
psycho, control freak gobshites.
And she isn't.
Do you know what I mean?
She's got every right.
So if he wants to be with her, he's got to accept that she's not comfortable with this
and that it's reasonable for her to not be comfortable with it.
It's not like she's going, listen, right, you're my boyfriend.
If you see a woman in the street, you cross the road.
She's not doing that. She's going, you know that woman you see a woman in the street, you cross the road. She's not doing that.
She's going,
you know that woman you fucked a couple of times
whose number you've got
and you keep cancelling plans with me
to go and see.
And keeps being eggy with me.
I'm just like,
not saying it's a deal breaker,
but I have written into my favourite podcast
to see what they think.
Like she's being,
I'm not calling anyone a cunt.
I just wanted to back the fuck off a little bit.
Yeah, we've all been with those girls who are like,
did you just look at her?
You're like, yeah, because we're in Wilco's and she works here.
She's at the fucking cashier.
My first girlfriend hit me in the head with a handbag
and it was a Scouse Girls handbag as well.
They have metal chains on and they're full of shite okay yeah because i gave carl's girlfriend a hug on a night out slag yeah
i know somebody oh no i didn't i meant oh god carl fuck i love your missus yeah like
his missus was getting off and i'm like Alright I see you Let's give her a hug And she's like Did you
Yeah
His will goes all over the place
Rock Heiser's in the head
With a fucking
Machino bag
Yeah no this isn't that
Is it
No she's
I had a mate
Who we played football
For an hour
And he had like
167 missed calls
And we worked out
That his partner
Had literally been
Ringing him like
Ring ring
Voicemail
Straight down
Like for a whole hour
And he just sat there
And his phone was still ringing
he was like
they'd been seeing each other
for like two weeks
and he's like
what the fuck is going on mate
this isn't that is it
it's nowhere near that
do you know what though
the 167 missed call girl
at least she did it
in the first two weeks
at least she let him know early
listen
listen
I've been able to
hold it together
for the first five dates
but I am
a fucking lunatic
you're at five a side
that's four dicks
you could be sucking
right now
admittedly
I don't play five a side
and I don't know
the rules of football
it's actually nine
if you can get
the other team involved
yeah yeah yeah
after our tubs
at least she got
all that fucking crazy
right in the shop window
at the start of the sale
road on her
because it's the
the really mental ones
are like
when you sign the lease
on the fucking
rented property
and then the night in
you're like
wait so we've got
our first flat together
and she's like
and another thing
so you'd rather the psycho
come out early
honestly get all of psycho come out early.
Honestly,
get all of your psycho out early because some guys,
Get it on the table of who you are.
Some girls,
they want the jealousy.
They want,
and I'm not talking about the nasty stuff.
I'm talking,
some people thrive on all the bananas
and all the drama.
Yeah.
They want a girl who's like,
where have you been?
And some girls want the guy who's like,
you better not fucking look at him. Don't, most people don't, but they want a girl who's like and some girls want the guy who's like you better not fucking look at him don't not most people don't but they want that but at least if it's all out
early you can make that decision it's a fucking nightmare when you've been with someone for ages
and then you're like oh my god is she cutting her own fringe crying in the living room yeah that was
a very honest moment that That felt so real.
And I was like, I looked at Carl like,
this is the real one.
And then you went, yeah, that was real.
You got so red.
That was real.
And we are still sponsored by Ribena.
I'll save you for 12 month contract.
The thing is though, right,
I don't want any of that.
I genuinely just want a nice, trusting relationship where you both are like, right, I don't want any of that. I genuinely just want
a nice,
trusting relationship
where you both are like,
no,
do you know what?
Don't do shit like this
because this makes you an arsehole.
But,
you know,
I've got girl mates,
you've got lab mates,
that's all fine.
But at the same time,
I do find it attractive
if I'm fearing for me life
a little bit.
That's why like,
Alice Morgan from Luther is like my dream woman. And it's not the actress. it attractive if i'm fearing for me life a little bit that's why like alice morgan from luther
is like my dream woman and it's not the actress it's the character if there's a risk that you
might be knifed to death in your sleep that turns me on i've never seen anyone clap their hands and
close their eyes i know what you mean because all of the cray cray ones
are the fun fun ones
and they're usually beautiful
because let's be honest
you have to be
if you're going to eat half the cheesecake
and throw the rest away even though you don't like cheesecake
you've got to be at least an eight
that's how it rolls
you've got to be hot to act like that
because otherwise if you were like a three
like
you'd be like you're gone You've got to be hot to act like that. Yeah. Because otherwise, if you were like a three, like,
oh, what have you been?
You'd be like, what the fuck?
You're gone.
You're gone on the first day.
So it is fun.
It is exciting to be like, oh, you're exciting and scary.
Having rode that roller coaster and got off in my late 20s and then met someone who is sound beautiful.
We have a laugh.
We're into each other.
And you get to ride that fucking roller coaster,
which isn't a roller coaster.
It's so much better.
It's a hot crazy scale, isn't it?
It's just...
It's a hot crazy scale.
So you've got your graph.
Oh, here we go.
With hot, crazy, and you've got the lines.
You have to be as hot as you are crazy.
Absolutely.
But if you are more hot than you are crazy
so this above the
above the line
holy shit
the above the line up here
this is perfect
because this means
oh you're doing
sports illustrated
and you're also
drinking beers
and watching the game
yeah yeah
but if you're down
yeah
do you know what I mean
this is
you know
what are you looking
at her for
this is Susan Boyle
With an Uzi innit
Do you know what I mean
I love it
I love the fact
That you managed to get
A weapon
And it sounded like
The first part of
Susan Boyle's name
Susie Boyle
Susie
With an Uzi
Take that to the bank Susie uzi boil uh we are not
gonna top that um pete during the first lockdown you started doing some artwork and selling it
i did and i purchased that amazing print and it's going up in our downstairs bathroom because it's
lovely and i buy a lot of stuff thinking that laura's gonna like it yeah and a lot of it is
gonna end up in my garden office where she doesn't care to see things and she loves it and it's going
she doesn't mind looking at it when she's having a shit my mate's got one up in his toilet and he
takes a selfie every time he has a shit with it look where i am again thinking of you yeah
you just reminded me of your Baby Blue story, sorry.
What Baby Blue story?
I can't remember it, but every time I hear the words Baby Blue,
I think, Baby Blue.
Navy Blue.
Is it Navy Blue?
I saw it.
It's been a stupid catchphrase of mine that all my mates,
Laura, all my family know it, that if you're ever on the toilet
and you're within earshot of someone
you ask them to ask you what ask me what my favorite color is yeah that was there you go
what's your favorite color and then you strain and go navy blue and it's not that funny if you
do it once it's not that funny if you do it twice but But if you do it, every time you have a shit with an earshot of someone
since 2003,
it really starts building some fucking momentum.
So they ask you what your favourite colour is?
I think it was on a late night TV show.
It was just some gag with two old ladies.
They're in the toilets
and they're asking each other about the dresses
and you don't know where the joke's going.
But eventually it gets like, oh, I like that dress you were wearing, Morag.
Which one?
The green one?
No, not the green one.
Oh, I can't think of which one to trade on.
Oh, you mean the other one?
Yeah, the one that was navy blue.
Now, not the best joke ever.
But I committed to that as a catchphrase, a pooing-based catchphrase, so early.
And I didn't even know that
you knew it it's because you told me about it once oh because we were skiing together we went skiing
and uh and i thought about it recently because my my daughter was outside the toilet as i'm sat
there the other day and she's running around asking me where her dummy is and i'm sending
her in different directions and then suddenly i go is it under the stairs i didn't know it was coming and then suddenly it was there like mid conversation i was like
this is how alien this is to me because you the reason you have to do that and the reason you have
to do that it's because there's some level of strain it's because you have to put a bit of
effort into the poo coming out isn't it whereas what I do is
I sit down
and then
it happens
it's a different joke
with Adam
did you like that dress
I tried on
which one
navy blue
not as fun
navy blue
not as fun
yeah I fucked my own
plug then didn't I
you were plugging my stuff
and then I
so Pete does this
amazing artwork
is what we were saying
and I shit looking at it
Yeah
Yes that's where we're at
Yeah yeah
Every piece is
Blue
Do you want to give it
It's shout out
Where can they find it
It's just on Instagram
Potway Art
P-O-T-W-A-Y-A-R-T
Yeah that's it
And then there's a little website
Could we slide a graphic
Is that going to be too much
To ask guys
If we could slide a
No we can slide that in We've got a guys if we could slide it we'll slide that in
that's making it easy yeah keep moving it yeah
the camera's on pete right now
pete otway i say this every time when it's a proper mate that's in it's such a fucking laugh
talking to a mate and um it's been a pleasure having you on it's been great thanks for coming
in oh boy i'm very sorry guys about the tech issue sorry to you as well pete about that we're
gonna get that sorted there.
I don't think they're
going to give a shit
about it.
It was annoying for us,
but for them it'll be
like, click.
Yeah.
I got to go and have
a poo while that
happened as well.
And what's your
favourite colour?
Doesn't work, sorry.
Turquoise.
Turquoise.
It's not as good.
Is that really your
favourite colour?
I like a bit of teal.
Teal's my favourite
colour.
That fucking noncius thing you've said for ages.
I like a bit of teal.
Teal is my favourite colour.
What's wrong with teal?
There's nothing wrong with teal.
It's just a bit of a surprise.
You don't seem like the kind of guy who's going to be like,
love a bit of teal.
That's mad that we have the same favourite colour.
Honestly, it's so connected.
I like black as well.
Okay. Why did you make that up? it's so connected. Yeah. I like black as well. Okay.
Why did you make that up? Black's a shade
of teal.
Really dark teal.
Really, really dark teal.
