It has to be.
Have a word. I've got an apology to make
Oh
Yeah another
Yeah
It's becoming a weekly thing
Could you do it to camera please
because that's how it's done
I'm very very sorry
how old was she
94
I broke her hip
bitch popped her pussy
and broke her hip
oh no
no
not with a 94 year old
come on
would you fuck her granny
like if you were
we'll get back to the apology
but
have you seen
Prince Philip
yeah
so do you think
I would
why
he literally
looks like
the walking
dead
but he should
do he's 99
he's 99 years
of age
he looks like
he's been dead
for six years
but he's still
alive
so maybe
that granny
juice
maybe that's
what's keeping
him going
rough start
when was the
last time
do you reckon
he saw
her funny oh guys rough as fuck start well he's been in hospital for two weeks so at
least a fortnight ago i saw those pictures when everyone was like oh my god he looked like as i
remember i've got a 95 year old granddad who is only slightly better in terms of visuals it wasn't
as startling i've i've got a granddy who's like, things aren't working.
You're like, yeah, that is natural, isn't it?
Do you reckon they're still at it every now and then?
No.
No?
Do you reckon he shits while she's in the shower?
Why?
Like in the same room, I mean.
No, I reckon they've got a separate,
I reckon they've got like two options.
They've got separate.
I reckon they've got a downstairs toilet and an upstairs.
They've got separate fucking castles. I reckon they might toilet and an upstairs. They've got separate fucking castles.
I reckon they might have separate shitters.
I think they might have separate toilets.
No shit.
They've got separate staffs.
Do you reckon Buckingham Palace has got more than one bathroom, yeah?
I researched it recently.
Four.
Four?
Yeah, downstairs.
Yeah.
Rare to get that these days.
They've still got one in the garden.
They've got one in the garden.
Buckingham Palace isn't a new building.
They've got bifolds, but then they've still got the old...
Do you know what garage, though?
Do you know if they've got electric toothbrushes?
Yeah.
No, because his teeth would fall out, wouldn't they?
Like the vibration.
I don't think nine-year-olds use electric toothbrushes.
Like, hey, my jaw's gone.
It's what we use.
Like, no.
There's something keeping him alive, isn't there?
There's something.
Because he's shoved...
World-class healthcare the whole of his fucking life.
That's what is keeping him alive.
Usually, 99-year-olds are dead, yeah,
because they've been fucking waiting on the NHS
for shit that's going wrong.
He goes, oh, I've got chest pains.
Quickly, the limousine to the King George's Hospital.
And like 97 physicians are like, oh my God, Prince Philip,
let's keep him alive.
Or don't.
Is he,
do you reckon he's going to get a letter
from the Queen
when he's 100?
Yeah, but they save him postage.
Yeah.
Just a text.
Well then lad.
She just leans over like,
lad,
well done.
Yeah.
It's gutting that he's not king,
isn't it?
Do you reckon she'll hand deliver it in?
Talk about running
the fucking game.
Like,
here's your, here's your, here's your little letter. Well done. fucking game like here's your here's your israel little
letter well done happy birthday he's like can i be king for this last bit of my life no fuck off
you're a prince a 99 year old power though does she to make him a king do you think he wants to
be the king you go under the radar a bit more if you're a prince don't you and i mean it's
under the rain it's easier he's the queen's husband
proper under the radar
but it's easier
to keep a bit of privacy
if you're only a prince
he's the fucking
queen's husband
bit of privacy
who is he
are you coming
to open this hospital
Philip
no mate
no
if you didn't make me
the king
I'm not doing
the fucking hospital
do you reckon
he's ever shagged
anyone else
probably I've never watched The Cram me missus watches reckon he's ever shagged anyone else? Probably.
I've never watched The Crown.
My missus watches it.
He probably,
he was a gobshite,
wasn't he?
Is that what you're using as a reference
for facts about the royal family?
Yeah.
Right,
okay,
yeah,
cool.
What do you mean?
Philip Young.
Has he ever shagged,
has he ever shagged anyone?
Let me just check.
I've watched The Crown.
No,
but like,
The Crown is like,
very,
very factually correct.
Yeah.
They have to watch it to like,
allow it.
When was the last time he got an erection?
1975. I mean, it was pre the time when it. They have to watch it to, like, allow it. When was the last time he got an erection? 1975?
I mean, it was pre the time when it was almost frowned upon.
It was like...
Finn's Googling, did Prince Philip have a girlfriend?
Yes.
Yeah, that's it.
Have an affair in the 50s?
Don't click on that one.
Ooh.
I mean, yeah.
Yeah.
If you heard Carl go, don't click on that one,
it was because it was through a website that we refused to use.
Yeah.
Working out.
I just think he's from an era that he probably did,
but I love the fact that he married a queen
and she was like, nah, you're staying a prince.
Well, what's my son?
They're a prince.
King consort, isn't he?
It's not a decision.
Whose decision is it?
It's like, it's tradition, isn't it?
Like, if you marry the queen, you become a prince.
You never become a king if you marry the queen.
The only way you can become a king is if you inherit the throne.
It's consort, like queen consort.
Like, you're the queen, but you're not.
You're just the king's wife.
Yeah.
I think historically, someone has married a queen
and been given the role as king.
I would imagine that's been worked out over
the years i don't know enough about royal history yeah but i mean who's executive level whip that
in it do you know what i mean yeah yeah you know like when you you get involved with a girl and
she's like you're not fucking doing that you're not being the king is the top of that do you know
what i mean yeah you can marry me you can marry we'll have kids together you can have your own castle
you can have an affair
in the 1950s
according to the crown
you can do
nothing
apart from opening
a few hospitals
but you're a fucking prince
just like your grandsons
ahhh
I fucking get that
do you reckon he's ever bummed her
should I google that
google that one he's definitely bummed her do you reckon yeah do you reckon they have like just like because
i think because they're royal you imagine that they just have squeaky clean like missionary
sex and they cuddle but you reckon he's ever like fucking they don't chain them up in the
aristocracy don't cuddle fuck fuck's sake They breed and then
wander off into their own
wing of the palace
Do you not reckon she's ever been like chained to the
dungeons and that? And like he's coming
and just fucking... The dungeons
The actual dungeons
Hello, is that the captain
of the tower? Yeah, Philip and I
are coming tonight, make sure the staff aren't tower? Philip and I are coming tonight.
Make sure the staff aren't there.
We would like to use the dungeon.
Oh, really, Mom?
What for?
Mind your fucking business.
He'd have to be there, though, wouldn't he?
Like the president.
Someone's going to watch it and get bummed, probably.
As his job.
No.
Someone's going to watch the royal shag.
I reckon they probably do have like a witness to
everything because imagine if she got bummed to death right and then he's gonna explain it
jessimus is getting demonetized as well
i think we should if they don't clock it i think we should write to youtube and ask for it to be
demonetized just i feel like it's the ethical thing to do it should be really funny if right
now in the middle of a song
of the Queen bummed to death,
if a Colgate advert comes on.
Andrix.
I just want to know.
I want to know what their sex life is like.
The Almanac one.
Like, not now.
Obviously, he's 99,
and at the very least, he's using Viagra.
But back in the day when they were fucking like going for it and that.
Do you know what I mean?
Have you not seen?
You haven't seen it?
Because they're humans.
I know there's rumors that they're lizards,
but they're apparently humans.
So they've got needs.
Do you know what I mean?
I don't think they necessarily satisfy those needs with each other though,
do they?
No.
I watched the great.
Powerful people.
They just shine.
They marry for status and power don't they
yeah
and then
stick their dicks
where they want
and that's
so
no but you can't really
be having an affair
if you're Prince Philip
people will recognise you
you can't be on Tinder
you'll be like
I fucking know him
from somewhere
princes and kings
can't have affairs
because they're too famous
well there's Biobie
if you want to tell me
don't tell me wife
you know who she is winky emoji she's on the money yeah yeah I think if he turns up that sounds right don't tell me wife you know who she is
winky emoji
she's on the money
yeah
yeah
I think if he turns up
in like
imagine if he ever
got a prostitute
and he had to pay her
with his wife's face
that's pimp and that
do you know what I mean
yeah
you definitely
Charles Darwin

they live in London

I really feel like
there was a funny bit
about the old face there
that you just decided

lad
where's that prostitute from
fucking hell face there that you just decided was not happening LOD! Where's that prozzy from?
Fucking hell I love it when it starts like this
Exotic ones
All over the gasp
Thailand, Russia, the Arctic
Inuit people
Eskimo prozzies
Do you think they'd be a bit lost?
Yeah.
You look warm, love.
Take that fur off.
Do you reckon they wear that all the time, even in our countries?
Do you reckon when Eskimo's gone all the way to Africa,
they've got the fucking Kenny from South Park hat on?
Do you think there's an Eskimo airport?
Eskimo International.
I've got a feeling,
and I've never heard this,
that Eskimo is offensive
and we're being dead racist now.
It's not.
It's, you know.
They're not a historically disenfranchised group.
There was no Eskimo slavery.
I think they are.
I think they are.
I think they are.
Is it like Inuit?
Yeah, Inuit is, I think,
the cultural term, isn't it? Yupik and In yeah but that's eskimo is predominantly seen as offensive or
non-preferred and has been widely replaced by the term inuit fucking eskimo twitter inuit that's the
great thing about like the the uh arctic not having the internet inuit sounds more offensive
than eskimo though yeah like i'd be more proud to be like,
I'm a fucking Eskimo than I'm an Inuit.
It sounds like you should have.
No, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, they can, but they can only, they can use it.
Oh, right, okay.
They can use Eskimo.
Can they?
We can't use Eskimo.
Yeah, yeah.
When they see one of their mates, they're like,
oh, my Eskimo.
Everyone's like, yeah.
Eskimo, please.
That's my Eskimo.
Where's he bought that coat from?
I know. That'd be fucking expensive, that Where's he bought that coat from? I know.
That'd be fucking expensive, that.
Has he made that himself
out of a dead bear or something?
Yeah, because he twatted
a polar bear with his Eskimos.
That's mad, innit?
Eskimos.
46 hot Eskimos.
What a fucking great website that is.
That's some porn, that.
Do Eskimos make their coats?
That's a weird calendar.
If they were in
Northern Ireland,
they'd be hundreds of
pounds.
Going through Google
in front of someone
who's got ADHD,
I'm telling you,
I like the idea of the
clips, but you can't
be typing in Google.
Adam's like,
I can see his head
going,

There must be.

famously
you know in the quiz
when we talked about
Metallica
have done gigs
on every continent
yeah
the Arctic's
not a continent

it's just a load of ice
am I right
isn't it isn't it Antarctica Antarctica Antarctica not a continent Is it? It's just a load of ice Am I right? Isn't it?
Isn't it Antarctica?
Antarctica
Antarctica is a continent
But that includes
I mean
It's more than one place
Isn't it?
I'm sure it's
What?
Google
Just Google
With that screen off
Cause
Cause
What do we go
The seven continents
I just don't understand
How you
How you do a gig in
In the Arctic
Antarctica is a continent.
Fucking hell.
Metallica with a load
of Eskimos and penguins
must have been sick,
that.
Yeah.
There's no Eskimos
in Antarctica,
though, is there?
That's...
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
There it is.
There's the gig.
Metallica rocks
Freeza Mall show
in Antarctica.
So that was...
The Arctic's not a continent.
It's just a load of ice, isn't it?
Yeah.
That's fucking mad.
There are no Eskimos in Antarctica.
Is there not?
No.
Where are they?
Where you had it, Arctic.
The Arctic.
The top bit.
North Pole.
Yeah, the northern.
The sound.
Not like them fucking southerners.
What's down there?
There's no indigenous people of Antarctica.
Why don't we all move there then
set up a new civilisation
we're always trying to fucking conquer Mars aren't we
well closer
he cries if the window's open for five minutes
if I open the studio window
just to clear some guff out
he's like fuck I'm freezing
it's almost like it was the middle of December when you did it
yeah so how are you going to do in Antarctica
I'd have a coat on we're going be the biggest podcast in antarctica think about it we would be
how many people were that metallica gig that literally looked like the whole of the crew of
their plane that was about 48 people like whoa just to say i had a thought about going you know
just for the experience it'd be good wouldn't? How would you get there? Where's the weirdest place you've gigged?
Where's the...
Because, like, the Forces gigs had gigs in the Falklands
and it took them 11 hours flying.
Absolute fucking beast of a journey.
But that was one of those ones where a few years ago
when the Forces gigs were really in...
It was, like, Afghanistan.
What you did for, like, two weeks,
you had to get safety training.
You had to get a certificate, which is basically like, is what happens if an rpg blows up your gig right so for
for insurance reasons to go to afghanistan and entertain the troops and you got something like
12 grand for the two weeks it was fucking danger money there was also gigs in cyprus when they're
coming back from like the, the tours and everything.
There's gigs all over the Med and then Bahrain,
Dubai and in the Middle East.
But then Falklands was another one because they've got troops posted out
there.
And part of me was like,
Oh,
it sounds like a ball.
Like,
but just to say you've been to Afghanistan to gig,
you can't say no to that.
Can you?
Could be a tough crowd though,
couldn't it?
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
I imagine they're not kicking hecklers out there. All right couldn't it do you know what I mean I imagine they're not kicking hechlers out there
alright okay
do you know what I mean
did you
I thought you thought
it was just all
the local Afghanis
no no
alright I thought you were like
tough crowd that
I mean you're shooting them
one minute
then they're like
listen ISIS
you're a right pair of cunts
you two
but are you coming in
7pm it's the comedy show
Adam Rose
headline him
it's ISIS
just two people
two fellas
listen ISIS you're a pair of bastards we've beaten them we've beaten them you two cunts it's the comedy show Adam Rose headline him it's Isis just two people two fellas listen Isis
you're a pair of bastards
we've beaten them
we've beaten them
you two
cause
fucking murder
the world over
I don't know how
you've got away with it
it's those two
two Isis
like Hatton Beck
of that Tyler Wells
I think you'd have to do it
you'd have to do it
if someone offered it
just to be like
fuck it
yeah I'd absolutely do it
Falklands
yeah I'd go anywhere me for a gig as long as the money's right obviously i'm not going
i'm not going to afghanistan for 50 quid you would you definitely go to afghanistan for 50 quid i
wouldn't if it no it was paid for and they give you 50 quid are you fucking joking i wouldn't go
to warrington for 50 quid exactly but you can it's the experience, innit? I've been to Afghanistan and gigged.
How much of a cunt
promoter would have to be like,
we've got a gig in Afghanistan,
but it's not really,
it's more of a new material night.
Sounds like me,
I've controlled that.
Yeah,
it literally sounds,
what,
you can't pay full fees,
but it's 50 quid.
Gotta drive someone
from London as well.
Yeah,
yeah.
But don't worry,
it's cash in hand.
Yeah, I would, I yeah I would I would definitely
I would definitely
have taken them up
if I got offered it
we know people
that went out to do it
yeah
but Antarctica
Steve Harris
Steve Harris is
banned from camp Bastian
isn't he
for making a joke
oh right
yeah
he made a joke
the friendly fire joke
the friendly fire joke
and he's legit
banned from an active war zone that's great he does a routine about it but joke the friendly fire joke and he's legit banned
from an active war zone
that's great
he does a routine about it
but I've asked him
is it real
and he's like yeah
there was loads of that
you've really got to be careful
about what you say
isn't it mad that there's
two groups of people
banned from Camp Bastion
one of them
is
Al-Qaeda
and one of them
banned
is Steve Harris
ISIS aren't
because they know
where those two lads are
and it's like
listen we need ID
if you're coming in
Camp Bastion
Al-Qaeda are banned
do you reckon they have ID
in like ISIS
and that
do you get like a
fucking
pass
saying it
yeah
do you reckon
oh yeah yeah yeah
because otherwise
you could just
fucking blag it
couldn't you
I've been here for years
I'd kill loads of people you get it written down they've got it on a database yeah they've got Janine Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because otherwise you could just fucking blag it, couldn't you? Oh, no, I've been here for years.
I'd kill loads of people. You get it written down.
They've got it on a database.
Yeah.
They've got Janine in accounts in HR.
Janine?
Yeah, Janine.
Fucking hell.
She works for ISIS.
Does she?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She got it on LinkedIn.
Was she rude from Birmingham?
Was she?
Yeah.
She was like, why Birmingham?
I don't know.
Janine just sounds Birmingham.
Yeah, okay. Yeah, she works out there. She out there in the same boat as shamima begum got over there and they just went together oh poor shamima yeah
shamima i seen a picture of her recently she's got like all the glasses on everyone's saying
deported back to ours bless her how is she being fucked over and left over there? It's really brutal. It's a complicated one, that, isn't it?
It's hard to...
It absolutely is a complicated one.
I love how social media simplifies it as well.
Do you know what I mean?
Because in my opinion, based on what I have seen,
is that she was groomed as a child, taken over there.
She is our problem because she's a British citizen
and she should be brought back and, you know,
maybe tried and whatever here,
but I don't really know what I'm talking about.
The people who have got that opinion so vehemently on social media,
she's ours and she should be brought back,
as if, like, it hasn't gone through every level of court
and they haven't looked at every single bit of evidence
and might know something that everyone else doesn't.
I just love how everyone on social media is like,
I know this because I have done a degree in art fine arts actually
i drew a picture of afghanistan and i know exactly what's going on over there so this this this and
this i just i don't even think you need to do loads of research on it like she's british yeah
she's british but do you not think the judges that have decided that she's over there
might have more of an eye on information than we have?
Because I agree with you.
I'm just sort of devil's advocate.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
It's become political, hasn't it?
Yeah.
It's become political,
and I don't know if they're doing it as a deterrent
because that's a major problem, isn't it?
Young Muslims in the
country getting radicalized and groomed to fight what they feel is like a holy war i think and now
but i'd like to be leaving her out there and be like not our problem you're like she's definitely
british yeah well i think it's proven that like maybe the court around by like working class mums
and they've just gone that's it now you're either in or you're out she's out she's gone yeah you're not coming in you come back for your tea and that's it could
you imagine if the if the if the courts were run by people from if it was like instead of just um
what do they call it when the jury you know it can be from anyone in society can't it if also
the judge was just from anyone in society so who's's your judge for your court case? I'd be a great judge.
It's Barry from Gateshead.
He's a plumber and he doesn't fuck about.
So you've been accused of bringing an ignorant,
you fucking piggy bastard.
Ten year, I've got me fucking scooter nicked
when I was 19 and I won't fucking stand for it.
Get in the fucking jail, you dirty bastard.
That's essentially the magistrates.
Yeah, but it wouldn't, it would jazz things up, wouldn't it?
It would jazz things up if randomly
some fucking dodgy cunt from round your way
was a judge for the day, like,
you've been accused of breaking and entering,
like, nothing wrong with that.
Being called up for judge duty.
I'd fucking love it if the Houses of Parliament
were just taken over by working class people
Ali G
because it's all fake
yeah Ali G style
but like
real
do you know what I mean
because obviously that's quite
like
exaggerated for comedy effect
but just like
you know when like
fucking Boris Johnson
is just spouting the same old shite
and Keir Starmer
or even Corbyn
before he has to come and go
the right honourable gentleman
is clearly telling lies
to fabricate.
I'd just love if it was like Carl
or someone I know who just went,
lad, you're chatting shit.
Sit the fuck down.
For once, stop chatting shit
and just be fucking honest
and tell everyone
that the reason you bought PPE off him
is because you're an older tenner from year nine.
That's what happened.
You went to school to get there.
It's fucking bang on.
Everyone knows what you've done.
Just fucking tell the truth.
Just tell the truth
because you're starting to look like a fucking knobhead.
Yeah.
That would basically be the Italian parliament.
But there's all of those rules of like procedural court stuff
is very old fashioned
and it's all
just so that nothing can be libelous and you've got to say what you can say and the the judge is
in charge of it and basically those rules are transferred to parliament like the speaker gets
to control who says what you can't go you can't even go past the line in parliament it's the
length of swords isn't it there's the length of swords from fucking hundreds of years ago you're
not meant to step past because they had issues with people sword fighting in the length of swords, isn't it? There's the length of swords from fucking hundreds of years ago. You're not meant to step past because they had issues
with people sword fighting in the middle of Parliament.
But that, could you imagine that?
You've given PPE to your mates.
How dare you, sir?
How dare you?
That'd be better.
But all of those rules are in place to stop anyone talking like that,
going, you're chatting shit.
They'd be like, order, order.
Order.
However, the politicians who actually speak normally stand out a fucking mile don't they yeah because they're not just basically
gray-haired white tories who are 60 and independently wealthy and you just you
instantly just feel they just look so much more normal who's the scottish girl is it
marie black and she's like 24 yeah and she spent all of her allowance you're all fucking ruined
in scotland i fucking love it up there i mean it's fucking shite sorry everyone it's fucking
shite scottish impression it wouldn't be so shite if you didn't take all our fucking money and all
our opportunities we've got fucking oil and you're fucking using it and we don't get fucking anything back
from it.
And it's fucking not on.
It's not on.
James McFadden.
How do we have anyone in Scotland that listens?
She's like 24, isn't she?
How good is that?
She's got a working class last night.
It's 24 and she's got
she's smart and she represents fucking love it yeah great if you could have like an hour in a
room with any Tory MP to do whatever you want with them right and I mean whatever you want
you could literally have a nice conversation with them if you want, or you can tie him to a chair and dismember his body.
What would I want with an hour of Michael Gove?
Sit down for an hour.
That would be the most vile podcast you could ever do.
Sorry, Michael, I'm just going to set up some recording equipment,
and he just goes...
It has to be Jacob Rees-Mogg, doesn't it?
Yeah.
He just smashes his head in for an hour.
Yeah, I wouldn't smash his head in,
because you're going to see that.
Everyone's going to know he's in a room with me me i'd just repeatedly kick him in the bollocks
just like i'd let it die down and then kick him in the bollocks again and then let it die down
and kick him in the box you take it and i think you'd be like keep doing it monkey boy keep doing
it right did you notice that as well it's quite an aggressive form of satire we do on Have A Word
it is politics
but it has a certain
edge to it
so what I'd do
I'd keck him in parliament
yeah
I'd do his head in wouldn't I
I reckon he's got
a sly schlong you know
I reckon Jacob Rees-Mogg
has got an absolute
waponich pipe
yeah that he wasn't born with
he's just paid for
a poor person's dick
and had it transplanted
he's just at that level
of wealth. Like, yes, I think I'll have a
Puerto Ricans. Thank you. Are those kids Liverpool
fans? Apparently so, yeah. Which is
madness. Yeah. I think that's his way
of connecting with the North in some way, probably.
No, I think he's just like
probably from an era. He's probably a Liverpool
fan as well. So he's from an era.
Like the 80s, you mean? Yeah, where Liverpool was successful
and his fucking dad's gone, oh, I'll support the team that's winning an era like the 80s you mean yeah where Liverpool was successful and his fucking dad's
gone oh
I'll support the team
that's winning
because I like to win
everything
yeah maybe
yeah
anyway I've got an
apology to make
so
to the royal family
first of all
sorry to the royal family
I haven't said
she gets bummed
I speculate
that she might get
bummed
and that's just
fair game
if you're in the public eye
you've got to expect that some
podcasters are going to be questioning whether or not you get
bummed. Not all of them are going to
but some of them
Great Grandma
Go on watch your apology
What do you need to say sorry for
I need to say sorry to you
Why what's going on
Because remember a couple of weeks ago
You were like oh you get up early
And you're always tired
So you go to bed early
And whatever
I've been getting up early
And days are fucking long aren't they
Do you know how long days are
I have to start getting up at like 8 o'clock
And like it feels great
at like lunch time
because normally like you know
I'd often get up at like 11 o'clock
and then maybe like I'll lie in bed watching telly
for a bit till 12 right
so lunch time is sort of
when my day has started sometimes in the past
and at lunch time now
I sort of I look at the clock and I'm like
I've normally even getting up now
and i've got so much done like yesterday got up took me uh took my girlfriend to work oh god it's
another one of his fucking day diaries this is brutal if i like can i just pause it because this
is about the fourth time he's done one of these if i did this he's the level of boredom in Adam's mind, he'd be like,
lads,
shut the fuck up.
Do you think Prince Andrew gets bummed by his mum?
Like,
I love it how Adam's like,
no,
this is valid.
I need to tell you
all about my day.
Day to day to day.
I have to literally tell him
that one of my family members
is dying
before he's like,
oh,
that's interesting.
Who's dying?
Carry on.
Carry on.
Give us the day to day.
Buckle up, everyone.
We've just been talking about the queen getting bummed to death
by her fucking vampire husband.
And now we're going to have,
I had a coffee at quarter to nine.
I did some emails at ten past nine.
Go on.
So, took my girlfriend to work.
She had to be there for eight o'clock in the morning.
So I was up at like fucking quarter past 7
right
on the way back
went to Asda
did a big shop
come back
the car cleaners come
cleaned both of our cars
that's why I took her to work
so we could harvest
so we could get it cleaned
then I got like
loads of stuff done
I had my lunch
right
then
what did you have
what did you have
a sandwich
oh
and then
yeah it was 12 o'clock and I was like oh my god look how much I've got done What did you have? What? What did you have? A sandwich. Oh. And then, yeah.
It was 12 o'clock and I was like,
oh my God, look how much I've got done.
Is that it?
Now you need to apologise.
Apologise for that.
Apologise for that.
He is flying too close to the sun Oh that's so funny
Oh god
What are you with the rest of the day?
That's the thing
There's too much of it
There's just fuck all to do
And you wonder why I masturbate
It's part of the fucking
Filling the time innit
Yeah but I can't be spaffing
No
No
I've got a lady
You know what i mean you're
saving up yeah i'm saving all my cum for you oh you're an old romantic are you allowed is she like
got some weird level of control over you adam checking the fucking paper basket like there's
no tissues in here god i flushed them oh really do you leave your cum cum rags just findable cum rags that makes
it sound like you've got two tea towels they just come out like fucking cardboard um i just use
whatever undies i've just took off sexy the sad story was still going go tell us about your one
kid yeah sometimes like you know the undies that work like, you know the undies that are on the floor? That works so well.
You know the undies
that are on the floor?
Adam is being gaslighted
by his new girlfriend.
And I'll just wipe it.
He's not allowed to wank
until she tells him.
And then those undies
are going in the wash now,
anyway, aren't they?
You know what I mean?
Lovely.
First time watching
Have A Word?
You're like,
this is a weird one.
No, it's not.
It's standard,
standard fare.
So what's the next step?
You're now, you're up early.
What's the next step in the evolution of the man that is Adam Rowe?
I think it's going back to getting up late.
Yeah, because the gigs are going to come back.
You're like, fuck that.
The problem with gigs is you're still wired when you get home, aren't you?
Like you're still a bit like, whoa.
I can't sleep after the gig.
But, like, there's just too much time.
Do you know what I mean?
There's too much time in a day.
They're fucking long.
Do you fancy doing some subtitling?
It's just like, what do I do now?
Me balls are empty. The kitchen's clean. What family in it family engagement yes time for kids you've got too much time don't want to time for kit you
do i don't it's happening i don't she's i'm telling you then i'll have no time yeah it does
flip flip the other way have you ever tried middle ground maybe i need like a dog not a dog
no maybe i feel like we've been very careful about that maybe maybe i should like get into like
horseback riding or something horseback riding that isn't good middle ground between horse i
love it how you specify horseback because a lot of people do horse underneath riding, but there's a lot of dick, you know?
Thing is, I'm rowing bags, yeah?
I don't ride horses like every other cunt.
Some people get on top of the horse.
I was like, nah, I'm getting underneath the horse.
Fucking hell, I'm upside down.
I'm going dead fast.
But I did get fucked by a horse.
Massive dick.
Couldn't help it.
Shouldn't have worn shorts.
I'm horseback riding. Do you recommend that, though? If you're thinking have worn shorts I'm horseback riding
do you recommend that though
if you're thinking
about having kids
go horseback riding first
see how you like that
if you can deal with
horseback riding
go for family
have you ridden horses
no but I've thought about it
yeah
next step
I've stood next to a horse
and imagined
like
winning the grand national falling off a horse and imagined winning the Grand National.
Falling off a horse in New Zealand
was one of the most stupid things I've ever
been involved in. We went on a
Lord of the Rings trek around
New Zealand on the South Island and me and Bondi
were out there and we signed up for a
horse trek and
I had ridden
a horse when I was nine at PGL
which is just basically walking and you're on
the horse but it just walks that was what i'd done and so the woman was like has anyone ever
done any uh horse riding and i was there was girls it was all girls because it's a fucking
organized horse track it's not exactly like stag do a clock is it so me and bondi are there looking
like a gay couple there's loads of girls some of them are cute jumping off the instructor's like hiya
i want a big stallion um and halfway around she was like who wants to go faster and i was just
like yeah of course i want to go fast it's horse riding it i want a horse i want a walking horse
i want to fucking go for it and as soon as it set off i was just out of control and i started
slipping to the right it saw a puddle I actually saw the little boggy bit.
The horse went left, and I flew off, bruised my ribs, and I had to stand up and act like it wasn't a problem.
And then I was really overweight because we'd been just boozing
for a month at the New Zealand Comedy Festival,
and I couldn't get back on the horse.
She jammed her hand under my arse.
All of these girls were watching.
Bondi was watching.
And at the point where she couldn't quite get me on the horse,
she went, oh, you're quite a big boy, aren't you?
And, like, wedged my fat, alcoholic arse onto a horse.
And that was worse than falling off.
And Bondi afterwards, you know when your mates want to rip the piss out of you,
like, that was fucking hilarious.
He was like, it went beyond that that and i just felt pity for you
because an attractive horse instructor was going you fat cunt get back on this horse i feel bad
for the horse so i would say about horse riding it sounds fun but they're not to be trusted horses
if you get into horse riding people are going oh it's great fun it's not it's awful if you get
into horseback i don't know how long does it take before you get like your jockey license where you can like race
them and i honestly i i would there's certain things we've talked about doing with this podcast
i would if we go like have a word horse riding i am not going to be involved because i've fallen
off that cunt and they're horrible it would be great to see you because you're so you're so competitive
that you do the same thing
I did that
who wants to go faster
lad
I was born faster
fucking see you going
yeah it'd be amazing
it doesn't look that hard
it doesn't
it doesn't look that hard
does it
now that they're just riding a bike
you've never ridden one
I can ride bikes as well
yeah but you had to learn
and you fell off
got ya yeah I suppose ridden one I can ride bikes as well yeah but you had to learn and you fell off got you
yeah I suppose
can you get all stabilised
yeah that's what I was going to say
you can't have stabilisers
for a horse
two extra small legs
next to the back legs
like a wheelchair
yeah
I would love to see
you A
ride a horse
and then B
fall off one
yeah but I'm worried
about falling off one
because like fucking Superman fell off a horse and fucked B, fall off one. Yeah, but I'm worried about falling off one because like fucking
Superman fell off a horse
and fucked him, didn't he?
If Superman died,
go on, Harry.
If Superman,
if it fucked Superman,
what chance have I got?
Yeah.
It fucked my pride.
It fucked his life, didn't it?
Yeah.
I don't want...
Do you know he's not Superman though?
When you said it like,
Superman didn't fall off a horse.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you know
who he means, don't you?
Yeah, I know.
Christopher Reeves, wasn't he?
But his reasoning was like,
Superman could fall off a horse.
So if he's Superman...
Yeah, but if you can play Superman...
If he's an actor...
You're in better physical shape than me, aren't you?
Yeah.
No one's getting the Superman call
if they're in worse physical condition.
I would genuinely like to have a jockey on.
I think it'd be quite interesting to see...
AP McCoy? I've met him, he's sound. I think it'd be quite interesting to see. AP McCoy?
I've met him, he's sound.
I think it'd be interesting.
AP McCoy.
I'm getting to the point now where I love having comedians on.
It's sound.
But I know their job and I know their life.
Like, I would love to start.
I want a porn star.
I would love to speak to an MMA, like, fighter.
A UFC fighter or a boxer.
Interesting.
I'd love to talk to a jockey

I want a rodeo clown now

Just some fucking noncy clown.
Yeah, I do rodeos as well.
I'm not allowed to do kids' parties since the incident.
That's like Dorman on Begging, isn't it?
UK rodeo clowns.
Can we get Sophie Anderson on if we're getting porn stars?
Because she's surely the closest we've got. I just can't imagine a porn star.
I want to get totally dick-fect.
I want to get totally dick-fect.

yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah What about Pedophile Hunter? Stinson, is it? Stinson Hunter. Stinson Hunter, yeah. What about guys who go hunting nonces?
I know.
The thing is,
I would love to hear those guys talk about
all the shit that's gone on in a pedo hunt.
But I really,
I just think they're horrible cunts.
And I know,
there's just an air of like,
what they're doing,
like trying to catch nonces
is absolutely valid
but every time I watch a video
this is how cunt they are
they make me sort of feel sorry for the pedo
which I think
translates as you're just not
very nice about it
but then again they shouldn't be nice
it doesn't have to be content though does it?
catch them and show them about it no but I think the reason they do it that way is they know that it's very hard to get a conviction
or certainly a good conviction so a lot of time people who are like grooming little girls and
stuff if they haven't actually fucked a child they'll just get like a suspended sentence or
they'll get like put on the sex offenders register and released and sometimes it doesn't even stick because there's not proper evidence so the reason they put it out on social
media is so that there's sort of vigilante style punishments of every millions of people now know
who you like that little thanks for this remember my holiday if i seen him in the streets i would
know he's a pedophile now yeah but like I think you'd have had an inkling anyway.
Mate,
he's the goat of,
he's the goat of people that got fucking paedophile hunted.
Who am I on the day?
Yeah.
Thanks a lot.
Well, thanks for this.
There was a guy,
who am I holiday?
There was a guy that was doing standup on the,
yeah,
I know we can't say,
but there was a guy who I'd literally gig with.
I forget his name anyway.
I know his name.
Because we got an email recently
of someone with a similar name,
and I went, the fuck?
Really enjoying the podcast.
I was like, I hope you're fucking not,
and then it's not the guy.
There was a guy that was doing gigs
and got pedo hunted.
Is it called pedo hunting?
Am I calling it the wrong thing?
Yeah, horseback.
They get pedos,
and then they release them on the first horn.
The pedos are released!
Limoncello breaks the scent.
And they can just run off into the woods then.
Limoncello.
Oh, the pedo hunter's like,
what are you doing with that Italian liqueur?
Nothing, no reason.
Limoncello.
So yeah, pedophile hunter. Nothing. No reason. A limoncello. So yeah,
paedophile hunter.
Rodeo clown.
I think we should,
can we do our own version
of paedophile hunter?
Have a word,
paedophile hunter.
That would be so good.
Be like,
lad,
can you meet us
at the Heath Business Park
in Runcorn?
Give him a pass.
Right,
they're in the,
they're in the cafeteria.
Finn, go and get the pito and two almond cheese toasties, thank you.
I'd really, really, really like,
and I know this would drive you mad,
a proper conspiracy theorist.
Someone who genuinely believes,
like, I like winding you up,
and I like conspiracies because I just think it's fun
to even consider the fact that they're real.
But, like, David Icke level,
no, everyone's controlling us.
Alex Jones.
Yeah.
He recently did Andrew Shultz's podcast
and it's been removed off YouTube.
Yeah, because I watched the trailer
and that was insane.
Yeah.
So here's my problem.
And I know people are like,
got me as this massive anti-conspiracy thing.
What happens then is it flicks over to
when Eddie was in and you were like, what? see there is a conspiracy the courts are rigged like
just because you're into one conspiracy doesn't mean you should be into all conspiracies and just
because you i reject the idea of a lot of conspiracies there are still things that i
think are rigged on dodgy as fuck but i just don don't, like, the problem is when you, I've started taking the stance
of all conspiracies are bullshit,
but I don't know
when you're being serious.
And because you just start going,
yeah,
and you know,
the court system is legal,
like dodgy and it's rigged
and everything.
And Hillary Clinton
defo eats babies.
Like it's,
they come from the same place
then though,
don't they?
So that's my problem
with the conspiracies
it feels like
when people go
I'm into conspiracies
they just start spouting
all of the conspiracies
where I think
you should be able to go
like so what
with the flat earth
because we had a flat earther
get in touch
really aggressively
like the week before
that's going
we want to come on your podcast
and then people go
no they should come on the podcast
are we really going to have
a flat earther going
it's flat like is that a conspiracy that we're doing it'd be funny we
could though but they've got to accept the fact that we're going to take the piss out of their
entire identity right i mean like they've got to come on and let us do what we do but i think
because the thing is proper conspiracy theorists reject the term conspiracy theorist
do you know what I mean like if if someone genuinely believes in all this stuff they're
like I'm not a conspiracy theorist that was actually invented to shut down people who
question the JFK assassination they're like I'm not a conspiracy theorist I just know the truth
they're the people I want on I don't want people going I'm a conspiracy theorist because they're
doing what I do which is
be funny
or
life's more interesting
if a lot of these are real
like
someone who genuinely believes
that the queen is a lizard
and like
we're all being monitored
and Bill Gates now knows
when I'm doing my shopping
and that
is there
can we
lead up to that level
of truther
because I feel like
I don't want to start uh the queen is a
lizard and bill gates eats kids i think you need to ease me into it a little bit like like an epstein
and do you know what i mean like i feel like as a non-conspiracy guy going straight to the queen's
lizard might be a bit much in terms of what about sean atwood
sean atwood's basically he guy. He does all,
his YouTube's very Epstein based
and stuff like that.
Right, right.
And he's an ex-con.
Something.
Interesting man.
You know,
the one that really rings true
is the way this is being covered up
with Prince Andrew.
You're like,
oh,
this reeks.
It reeks of the ruling class going,
like they've done for fucking
generations and generations.
You're talking about Prince Philip generations and generations you're talking
about prince philip having affairs you're talking about what's happened to prince andrew and then
historically the royal family covering up murder covering up it will have happened since the dawn
of the royal family now i suppose it's a bit more obvious because they've got the internet and
journalists i would love to hear someone get into that i know it's fucking risky and i know it's probably
libelous but if you could do it cleverly i'd love to hear more about that yeah so speak to your mates
scottish john that's fucking wrong you know really yeah um yeah let us know in the comments below and
you can always email at haveawaypod at gmail.com any suggestions of the type of guest
you'd like to have
non comedians
yeah so
tweet
tweet us
tweet us
at haveawordpod
when June comes isn't it
then we've got the open book
um
god Carl
I'm so fucking excited
about the summer
because we've been relying on
our mates
people that are local
but once the restrictions are lifted
oh fucking bring it on yeah it's going on Prince Andrew will be here yeah I reckon relying on our mates, people that are local. But once the restrictions are lifted,
oh, fucking bring it on.
Prince Andrew will be here.
I reckon.
Imagine if we got him on.
Prince Andrew.
Then someone next to him came along and was like...
Emily Maitlis didn't quite,
you know,
he didn't quite get all his words out properly.
He's going to be sitting there,
sweating,
claiming he can't.
We'll get him a pizza express in.
Oh, look at you. That's very deferential. All of us dickheads get KFC and you're getting him a pizza express in Oh look at you
That's very differential
All of us dickheads
Get KFC
And you're getting him
A pizza express
Do you not get the reference
Topical though
He went to a pizza express
He didn't
He said he did
He was shagging a child
At the time
Allegedly
I love it when
Adam's like
Oh he didn't go
To a fucking pizza express
You know what he did
Yeah the worst thing
you can do
erm
wow
I think we should
shouldn't we
so let us know
who you want as guests
especially if you've got
an eye on anyone
that's good on YouTube
or podcasting
like conspiracy wise
not
a full blown lunatic
one down from that
and the first person
to say jack mate
gets banned
off the channel
because we know
you all want Jackmate on
it is going to happen, it's just when restrictions lift

I'm very much the same.
A lot of my favorite comedians and actors
got their big break on Saturday Night Live.
That show has helped launch so many careers
and has brought comedy to a massive audience for years now.
It's become a prestigious thing for celebrities to host.
So I thought it would be interesting to hear your take
on whether a show like that could ever work over here.
Do you think British comedy could make a show like that?
Would the British audience embrace it?
Would you like to be in the cast should it ever happen?
And who do you think would be perfect for it?
Keep up the brilliant work.
Your pod has kept me sane over a year
now while I've been shielding. Love you
guys. That's from Thomas.
I don't think I've
ever watched a
full episode of SNL
but I follow their clips channel
because they have years of just amazing highlight clips
of people that you'll love.
Will Ferrell, Bill Hader, and Kate McKinnon,
who's on it now.
Yeah, she's crazy.
She's so good.
If you've not seen,
if you've never watched loads of SNL stuff,
I bet you've seen it by accident,
but the Close Encounters clip,
oh, it's so well done.
Their clips get about 5, 6, 7, 8 million views.
That on YouTube's on 47, and it's meant to be like the CIA
interviewing these three rednecks that have been taken,
sort of beamed up by aliens, and two of them have had this, is it, it beamed up by aliens and two of them have had this is it um
it's ryan gosling and two of them have had a really nice experience with like i don't know
what you call it i suppose you'd call it god there was a blue light and it raised down on me and i
just knew then that everything would be all right and then kate mckinnon is at the end she's like
wow freaking different experience i had these little green men slapping my knockers
and there's about 47 of them and one was at the door it felt super not legit he was kind of the
lookout and they were kind of gentle you know not not not hurting just sort of like
that's what she does on the on the clip well let's leave it on the clip you're really touchy
about your tits
aren't you
you won't be milked
you won't be touched
yeah weird like that
you have changed
you have changed
fuck it's almost
like you've got
something to hide
you've got big nips
there's a lot of
SNL clips that I
think are good
there's a lot that I
think are a bit shit
I think it's a
serviceable part of
the American comedy industry because it does launch careers and stuff and they do have some great guest hosts I think are a bit shit. I think it's a serviceable part of the American comedy industry because it does launch
careers and stuff and they do have some great
guest hosts. I think they've got
a very big budget because
America's so big and it goes out.
I think you would struggle budget
wise to make something as good over
here. It's also
a cultural thing, isn't it? That show
if it launched now wouldn't work.
Because it's been going for 50 years it's part of the landscape of common like lauren michaels who is the producer of it
is worth half a billion dollars because it's done that kind of numbers and you've got film stars
all through the generations of the of like people that are on it um have just become massive stars
so that also has gravitas how would you start that over here who would you get like nish kumar
like you know like you'd even struggle to get him because it'd be like it's a risk because it sounds
like would it be itv that commissioned it and then everyone's like fucking don't trust itv with it
like it's a weird one don't know how you'd ever get it off the ground yeah it'd just be the same
people doing the same
fucking shit they do
on every other show over here
like TV comedy over here
it's just very samey
and we sort of discussed
this on the Alfie Brown thing
is like
like we've spoke about it
a billion times on this
but like there's a
there's a genuine need
for diversifying talent
in comedy and on TV over here
but it is putting people on TV over here.
But it is putting people on TV now.
That drive for diversity is putting people on TV who aren't ready for it, in my opinion.
There's people who can't do club gigs
who are doing four and five TV shows in a month on the telly
and then they're touring with an hour that isn't,
it's just not at the standard
that it used like 15 years ago if you got a nationwide tour selling between a hundred and
a thousand seats in venues you'd done years on the circuit and you could fucking smash for an hour
easily it's just not like that anymore and over here what that saturday night live would become
would be we need we need a cast that's
very diverse and you know there's
a lot of great talent out there but there's
the talent that would
be seen as ticking the right
diverse box. A lot of them would be too
big to be in the cast, certainly at the
start of it, so you'd end up with quite a weak
cast on a shoestring
budget and the show would be shit.
I bet they get three, four hundred
grand for a series, each actor
I bet their pay
from SNL is massive
and crucially
the writers
if you go through all of the
writers for SNL, historically
when you've seen all these famous people on it
you then go through the list
of people that have written for SNL
and they become giants
because they're getting paid.
$7,000 per episode, 21 episodes.
So they get $147,000.
So they get $147,000
and then it also leads to like
massive amounts of opportunities
because it's being watched by 20, 30 million people
or something ridiculous.
But that's for your first year.
So like, obviously after that, you get renewed.
So Kenan Thompson, who is in Kenan & Kel,
he's on $25,000 per episode.
He's the longest serving ever, isn't he?
Yeah.
Michael Shea, $15,000 per episode.
Pete Davidson, $15,000.
So Kate McKinnon, I bet,
is one of the higher ones as well.
But that's major talent, isn't it?
Kate McKinnon's in films now.
$25,000 per episode.
So that equates to, what, $600,000 for the series, doesn't it, around that?
Mate, it's major money, and it brings in the talent.
What's interesting about what Adam just said is all of the same, like,
oh, we've got to have diversity and bloody blah,
it would be on a smaller budget.
But who can do live sketches?
Because I can't do pre-recorded advert reads.
So I would-
You've got to be an actor.
I would love to see them try it
because there's been so much shit that's been done over here
that is samey.
They've nicked this.
They've nicked that.
But that goes out live.
Like, they do those sketches well.
Like, they've got Louis C.
Their guests are amazing as well.
So they are filming their scene.
And if you watch these clips, you just get used to it.
They're just looking off. They look like they're like like a was it a thousand yard stare where they're just
looking up they've got someone behind them on a cue cup with their fucking lines and then they
drop that and then and i i would be fascinated to see just that whether it went wrong or it went if
it went really well the amount of pressure is would be fucking brutal
and then you've got the added layer of what happened with that um close encounters clip
ryan gosling is a top actor he's in some amazing films superstar he's a superstar but he's good
like he's not just like a face he's got like he's a good looking lad or whatever but he's a list and
he's a list but he's talented he's done some amazing roles he sat there
and got the giggles
through Close Encounters
and the girl next to him
I don't know her name
was like
oh he's getting emotional
because he was like
because it was so funny
so not only
if you've got to remember
your shit
oh it's so
and the crowd know it
some of the best clips
of SNL
are from
you watch it
don't you Finn
from the dress rehearsals where all the audience are in.
They run the whole show before,
and the cast know that it's not going out,
and the giggles are off the charts.
I love, I know it's a wanky thing,
but blooper reels are funny.
I would love to see British comedians
under that level of pressure
well the thing is like it's it goes back to sort of how america is further ahead of us when it
comes to comedy like keenan thompson is a comedy actor he's not a stand-up comedian i imagine at
some point he'll do a stand-up special or he's probably done in a bit but he's a comedy actor
that's his thing we don't really have that over here do we
we have
Miranda
and the girl
from Fleabag
who's fucking brilliant
exactly
but it's rare
because the country
is so much smaller
there are some sketch
like some sketch shows
that have gone on
like Big Train
and Fast Show
where you call
you call them
comedy actors
but it is a smaller pool
yeah
and when you pick them from a smaller pool it is a smaller pool. Yeah.
And when you pick them from a smaller pool,
it's hard to get.
Look at Mock the Week.
What's your man?
Is it Hugh Dennis?
Yeah.
When they went to,
like, is it Punt and,
what was it called?
Punt and Dennis?
That was their sketch show. So when they started Mock the Week,
they went to a non-comedian.
They went to a comedy actor.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So would you do it?
SNL, sorry, so would you do it? SNL
sorry
what would it be called
like
what would it be called
it couldn't be called SNL
could it?
it probably could
like if they did it
they'd probably license it
I think
I think they would
I think they'd have to
if it was going to be
sort of a copy
or they'd do like
an Aldi version of it
Friday night
not pre-recorded
from ITV Studios
featuring Adam Rowe.
Um,
I don't know.
Um,
so,
I probably would do it.
Right.
But I,
I think I'd get fucking,
I don't think I'd last
as long as Keenan Thompson has.
You know your stand-up sketch show that just went out last week
the week before last
I'm on this week's as well
you're on this week's
it'll be tonight
so when this episode goes public
if you watch the
the stand-up sketch show
tonight's episode
it's episode 7 of series 3
you've never really taught us
about the filming of that
I feel like that's
I feel like people
would be into that
because like
what we do as stand-ups
and what we do as podcasters is very sort of different from comedy acting I've done a bit of like
role play stuff at Edinburgh with The Noise Next Door and I got away with it once and died hard
the second time got in my own head just just just froze up a little bit in a couple of moments which
is key how did it go with the stand-up sketch show how did those
acting and the scenes how did you find it because have you done a lot of stuff before that that's
like acting based no i when i was a kid i went to a drama class for two weeks and then they
mentioned the fees for it and i never went back because my mum was like 470 quid a month
fuck off lad here's a five half half not expected hadn't to be like yeah
two weeks in i've learned to act pretty much the best actor ever bye bye i never knew that and no
one in school knew that either no this was i was in like year seven kept that quiet so it was when
i was still mates with me mate matty who i'd gone to little school with yeah and he went to
the blue coat school
and he starts hanging
around with a load
of girls
and they went to
this drama class
horse riding
and the drama class
was funded by the
council but there
was no boys going
to the class
so they basically
got told if you
don't get some
lads in
we're gonna stop
funding you
because it can't
just be like we
needed to be
multi-gendered or
whatever so you were the billy elliott of amateur dramatics exactly yeah yeah your dad like you're
not you'll go play five a side no dad i want to set the board so we went for a couple of weeks
and the teacher liked me whether that was just because i was there to take a diversity box and
get a funding but she was like yes yeah you actually found somewhere where you were the minority yeah absolutely adam
gets all the good parts because he's a fucking man um yeah and then she was like yeah it's 70
quid a month and i went back to my mom and i was like they want 70 quid a month she was like well
they can fucking swivel for that kid um oh yeahoh. Yeah, the stand-up sketch show is great fun to record.
So what they do is we record the stand-up
like a couple of months in advance.
And then they...
So I recorded three routines.
They'd asked for three specific routines
because this year they got in touch with me
and it was like, we want Adam on again. what routines does he want to do on the show so i sent them my youtube
channel and said you can have any routine that's already out there pick whatever and they went
right we'll have these three so i recorded three routines i recorded the arguments in greg's uh
that's the one that was been out already yeah isn't it? Yeah, that's already gone out. I recorded the,
is my dick good?
Me saying drunkenly to a girlfriend,
have I got a good dick?
And her saying it's nice.
And me sort of saying that's not a compliment to a dick.
That's the one going out this week.
And the third one was,
Scouse Dads,
which they didn't end up using.
Because normally they get you to record three and they use two.
And last season you did the pegin one, didn't you?
The dildo one.
Last season I did the Peggin one.
The Russian one was the one before that, wasn't it?
But I think I did two last season.
I can't remember what the other one was.
But yeah, and in season one,
I did the Russian one,
which I watched on the plane home from Japan,
which is the fucking weirdest thing.
Russian neighbors.
But what they did is-
We really laughed at the Peggin one.
I think that's one of your- I love that love that bit of material going if we're trying this we're at least buying a new one but it was it's one of those ones i think i do not enjoy a
lot of stand-up that's fucked with but the watching you sat in bed with a girl that isn't you go just
acting that out just sort of added to it i thought it was great yeah yeah i think you know the
sketches can sometimes really add to it and they can sometimes take away from it because
a lot of fun with stand-up is the audience picture in it and the sketch does take away
the audience's opportunities picture it so i think the sketch has to be really really funny and it
has to add something to it for it to make the stand-up better than it would have just been
just being stand-up um the way they do you record the stand-up better than it would have just been just being stand-up um the way they do
you record the stand-up months in advance and then you a couple of months later they hire whatever
place you need to do it and so like we hired they got an airbnb for me to do the strap on one the
greg's one last week they just hired a little bakery in london and then you lip sync your own
stand-up so they just have a speaker like car's got there and they go, right, action.
And then they play my standup recording
from a couple of months before.
And I have to be there going,
and this woman said, what?
Get out.
And they've scripted,
because the old woman spoke, didn't she?
Did she lip sync a script?
No, she lip synced the standup.
She lip synced my standup.
But do they actually go,
here's the script that you don't say out loud,
or does she just listen and then copy it?
No, no, no.
You get sent the script like a week in advance
to learn your lip-syncs.
I think it's amazing.
You're getting a script to not read the lines?
Yeah.
It's such a strange thing, isn't it?
I do read the lines.
Yeah.
So if I lip-sync something,
I think it just looks wrong and i think when i
watch the stand-up sketch show i can tell when someone's done that so i just say it out loud
because they're not using the audio anyway like german porn badly done i thought it was weird
because i went to the recording of the stand-up bit yeah was that in august when you did your
little just when i came home yeah so i was there and i thought it was weird that they had your joke
written down yeah
and they go
right you just need to say this next
or
you go one of me up to
I was like
there's a really sanitised version
of him doing the joke
yeah because it can't be
there can't be a word out of place
can there
no well that was in the
the rehearsal wasn't it
which they do sometimes use
yeah yeah that's what I mean
but it was just
yeah I haven't mentioned that
so when you record
the stand up sketch show
in the evening
there's an audience there and you go on and you do your stand-up there wasn't because
it was covered that was the weird bit no but there was i mean it was only there's only oh
shit you had the second one yeah yeah yeah in the afternoon jonathan ross are you no because i went
to both right it so in the evening there's an audience there obviously it was like 50 capacity
or something uh because of COVID.
But in the afternoon, even before COVID,
even in series one and two,
in the afternoon, you go on stage,
in the afternoon, to no one in the room,
in the same comedy club.
It's just the two producers in the room and the camera guys.
And do your set.
And you do your set.
And is the camera like...
Yeah, they record it as
if it's stand-up and they tell you you've got to perform this like you would do stand-up because
if you fuck up a line tonight if you fluff it we will use the footage of this and slide it in
and we'll do a close-up so that you can't tell the audience isn't in there and they're like
yeah and like if you get if you gotta learn. You've got to learn these disciplines as a comic
because there's times you have to do weird stuff like this.
But that's the thing.
Like, I love the lads who make the standup sketch show.
It's made by Pete Strauss and Matt Campion.
They're the co-creators of the standup sketch show.
Hi guys.
They run Spirit Media.
Hi, lovely to, it'd be great to meet you.
On set.
They run Spirit Media.
The dead sound.
Yeah, I've heard that. I've heard really good people yeah great humans yeah fantastic sorry i think i've got a strauss pubic mom um
but i am we we've spoke we've had a couple of things recently that we've spoke about with
regards to the comedy industry and stuff which we won't go into too much detail.
Yes, we have.
And I'm getting a bit... It's because of this.
I love doing this podcast so much,
and I love doing proper stand-up in a comedy club
and on my own tours.
Apart from when I touch his dick.
Go on.
I don't really care about doing telly anymore.
Like, there's shows I want to do.
I want to do Live at the Apollo
because it's the show that got me into stand-up,
and it's the biggest show in, like, stand- i love what i like to you i think i'd be
fucking good on it and i like taskmaster taskmaster as well yeah but they're fun like and the stand-up
sketch show i like doing but when like a new panel show pops up on like itv2 or e4 or whatever
and there's like loads of comedians clamoring to do it, I don't give a shit.
And if this Saturday Night Live thing come up,
if I got offered the first season,
I think I might go,
I'm going to let you all jump on that grenade over there,
and I'll wait until season two and see.
Yeah.
I think also you're getting clever at playing the game, aren't you?
So if Lorne Michaels,
the one of the biggest producers in American comedy,
was one of the producers of the UK one,
you'd be like,
this looks like it's got a budget.
Yeah.
And if Jonathan Ross was involved or something,
you'd be like,
oh, well,
you know what I mean?
Like if there was names,
but if it's just going to be the same people that are now basically like the C team
on Mock the Week
because it feels like
when I catch Mock the Week
you've got like
the guys who didn't move on
no offence
well that's true
the guys who are virtually
household names
but haven't done what
Frankie Boyle
or Russell Howard
have achieved
and sort of got stuck
they're going
it's kind of a decent earnings and it helps us sell tickets,
but it all feels like they're stuck.
And then you've got the guys that we know that are getting the crack at it.
Like, Washu was on it and Josh Jones, who are like the polar opposite.
They're coming up.
I bet that dressing room before that is an eggy place.
I bet Mock the Week dressing room is like Jonglers was when I was there
like 15 years ago
going
oh you're the old boys
and you think you run the show
and maybe I'm wrong
maybe they're an absolute
fucking delight
but I bet it's a bit
like dry
and like
I also know what people
get paid for mock the week
which is essentially
fuck all
because
so you get a grand
to do mock the week
you get £1000
fuck all no but like no it is if it's TV it is because so you get a grand to do Mock the Week you get £1,000
fuck all
no but
like
no it is
if a TV is
I know
no but
it's not a grand is it
so I know to our
working class listeners
£1,000 to
what looks like
sit around and have a laugh
for a couple of hours
seems like a lot of money
I would not be having a laugh
on Mock the Week
that would not make me
your agent takes 20%
immediately
so you're down to 800
I haven't got one you need you need to you need to pay a writer for a day's work or two i've got finn
and they're 400 quid a day no they're not so often someone on mock the week isn't getting paid to be
on it they're doing it for the exposure and it's it's a week of stress and then apparently i've
been told from people who've been on it that i won't name because I don't want to get anyone in trouble.
You can spend, they will go right, here's the
topics we're going to talk about because it's not off the cuff.
Like, regardless
of what, no, it's definitely not.
It's well written, well ahead of time.
So I know people who've been on it
who have been told, right, you get £1,000
and then their agent has gone, right, well I've
took my £200, you got £800, but if I was you
I'd spend that £800 on two writers, give them a date, and then you've got enough, right, well, I've took my 200 quid. You got 800. But if I was you, I'd spend that 800 on two writers,
give them a date,
and then you've got enough jokes
and you can smash it,
and then we get us back.
And that's when you start making money
because that's how the industry works.
And then when you get your second episode,
you're like,
you don't want to follow that up with a limp one.
So why don't we get those two writers?
They did a great job last time, didn't they?
And who are the writers represented by?
Well, surprise, surprise.
I represent them as well and uh i know people who've done that spent their entire fee on writers and got like a load of jokes and then they've gone to the producers and gone here's my jokes
and they've gone well uh let's just have a look no so that's too similar to one that hugh's doing
and oh dara's gonna do that so you can't do that. But those two at the end there, if you just do both of them,
then we'll make sure one of them goes in the record.
Oh, God.
So people are spending a week, and, like,
not to sort of be the fucking privileged man,
and I do tell you, and it's dead hard.
They were the ones as well that got across that.
I do tell you, and it's dead hard, and do that shtick, but...
Like, it's stressful writing for telly when i did roast battle it was fucking
stressful because i wrote 60 odd jokes and they were all rejected and it took ages and ages for
roast battle the offensive tv show the the show where the your job is to offend the person in
frontier and you've got lawyers going i can't say say that, that's offensive. This is what your show is. So imagine doing, and that's on Comedy Central,
which is a non-terrestrial, non-publicly funded,
supposed to be offended TV show.
And that was hard to get things cleared for.
Imagine trying to get stuff cleared
for eight o'clock Monday night, BBC,
when there's three people on the show
who've been there for years
who get first dibs on the type of jokes I say.'s i'm i want to do am i i want to do tv that i think looks fun and obviously
you know i i want a career and i want to be touring and i want to be doing all of that sort of stuff
but i'm like when i started stand-up i wanted to be on every TV show. I wanted to do all of it. And I wanted to sort of be famous for stand-up.
The more I get into little glimpses of what that might be like,
the less I want it.
And I think I want to be successful on my own terms a lot more than successful
because a gatekeeper has gone, here's a thing.
God bless these fucking four walls.
Yes, mate.
I absolutely do.
We've just had
We've just had a weird few weeks
Of this podcast where we've really
Upset some people
And then we've had to navigate
How we deal with that and agents get involved
And we have to make a judgement call
And it all starts feeling
Like that writing process
Of like, can't say that, can't say that, can't say that.
Oh, that's a bit risque,
which is not what we built this on and not why we love it.
You are accountable to the shit you say.
I get it.
You're still a fucking person.
You can claim you're a comedian.
You can claim you're a podcaster.
You're still a human that has to interact with other humans
online and in real life.
However, I would never want this podcast to end up in that process,
that logistical creative process where agents, managers, sponsors,
producers have a say of going through these notes and going,
right, Dan, the prep for today's pod.
No, no, you can't ask that.
No, no, no, you can't ask that.
Imagine that first section that we just ran off
Before Adam gave his pretty
Fucking detailed breakdown of his morning
Had a croissant, 9.15
Imagine how many times
That would have been stopped
On the BBC
How many times?
Basically, this episode
Tied up in a dungeon and bummed to death
So there was a witness necessary So that they could make sure She dungeon and bummed to death this episode so there was a witness necessary
so that they could
make sure she was
definitely bummed to death
and it wasn't
suspicious circumstances
and that's TV licence
payers
the episode
would have started
at
do you know how to
pay your TV licence
fucking no
I'm just
I hope we never
end up in that
sort of fucking game
also
like
our MO literally from the start we never like at in that sort of fucking game. Also, like, our MO, literally from the start,
we never sort of, like,
at times we're defensive on this podcast
and we say inappropriate things.
And we never, when we put this podcast together,
it was never like, that's what we're going to do.
It's gone that way because the MO we set out,
literally word for word is,
if I can make you laugh and you make me laugh,
as comics, people are going
to be pissing themselves that's literally what we said from the start wasn't it like from week one
it was let's try and make each other laugh and that'll reach the people at home and comedy at
its core and this is the reason people don't like seeing the same jokes two tours in a row
comes from surprise and it's very very difficult to surprise another comic, because most comics can
see where you're going, so the reason that this has become the inappropriate, like, offensive podcast,
is because it has to be for me to make Dan Nightingale laugh, and it has to be for Dan
Nightingale to make Adam Rowe laugh, and that's what we do on here, and that's why we cross the
line, and that's why we will continue to cross the line, and okay, sometimes people are going to go,
that's not right, we don't think it's right,'re not doing it to quote the great dave chapelle we're not doing this to be right we didn't come here to be right we had when when that kicked off
a couple of weeks ago when we got some complaints about a clip we put out on twitter and if you are
a patron of this podcast you know in detail that we won't go into today what it was about when that
kicked off those people going they need educating on these subjects and it's like no we don't because we
don't want to be right about them we want to be funny about them and the funny comes from being
wrong we're not trying to educate people we're trying to make another dickhead sat a yard away
piss himself laughing people really try and do struggle with the boundaries of like spoken word
and being absurd to make people laugh like like satire and jokes and absurdity is meant to be
funny it's meant to elicit a response if it was all just factual it wouldn't work as comedy every
time like people just get this weird thing of like well that didn't make me laugh and
therefore i feel like it's an offensive statement you're like that's not how it works like some of
these things are meant to be absurd yeah they're not meant to believe them wholeheartedly like
they're they're silly they're trying to make you laugh sometimes it doesn't work sometimes it does
but just because you don't agree that it's funny
doesn't mean that you're like,
we need to shut it down.
Good grief, guys.
Fairly quick, made a really good point.
That's what producers do, isn't it?
Before it happens,
they try and stop the problem before it happens.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We go the other way.
We have the problem and then backtrack from there.
We don't really backtrack, are we?
No, I know.
We're fucking around. That's why we're're here we're here to make a gentle laugh get your dick out let me flick it i'm not getting my dick out i can't touch your nipples go on what did freddy say
touch his dick with your nipples touch his nipples you there freddy said it's it's quite
interesting the scrutiny offensive comedy gets put under
because
if
if you go and see
a comedian
and he's upside down
with a bucket on his head
talking with his feet
and it's just absurd
surrealist nonsense
and you're not into that
people just go
I don't like that
that's not for me
and they leave
and they never talk about it again
and he's like
why can't people do that
with offensive comedy
and go
that's not for me
so I just won't watch that.
Do you know what I mean?
Just turn it off.
Just turn it off.
Not happening anymore.
Yeah.
That's the thing with the internet.
Here we are on our little corner.
Well, I had to type in the name of the podcast.
I love him.
He said, just look away.
He said, how does it exist?
Just don't look at it.
I love Tom Segura's routine on his ball hog special.
When he's like, people come up to him after shows
and tell him they're offended by jokes.
He's like, you've got the right to be offended.
You don't have the right to expect anyone to do anything about it.
He says, my children come up to me sometimes
and one of them will go, it's loud over there.
And I'll go, is it?
Well, then don't go over there.
Okay, good.
And then I kiss him on the head. that's how i'm gonna start dealing with
adults who get upset by jokes at comedy shows well you should never hear anything you don't
want to hear so bye bye you stay home now oh my god ball hogs so good it starts with that thing
about the uh the kid at the park like her and his kid and he was like I will take your
my shit
eat my ass
just the way he threatens
to like
fucking
hurt another child
I'll kick your chest
through your back
but it's so funny
because as a parent
you're like
oh my god
that articulates
exactly how you feel
like Etta got scratched
by a girl at nursery
who's
three
and Etta was three it's fair fight she maybe lost
the fight but nursery like right etta has been scratched and you're like all right cool well
turns out i'm gonna have to uh punch a three-year-old in the fucking head so you're gonna
take her to home like no no she's in the car i'm just waiting it i'm waiting to see i'm do you know
where sophia is as dad wants to see her that's the only by the gates. Do you know where Sophia is?
Yeah, as dad wants to see her.
That's the only thing I'm worried about,
about being a parent.
The only thing.
Kicking the fuck out of a three-year-old.
Do you know if someone Gerard!
Hurt someone I love, right?
Like genuinely,
I've got no,
there's no threshold for tolerance for me.
Like, I'm more likely, if you upset me or attack me,
I'm more likely to let that go than if someone hurts Carl,
my little brother, my dad, my missus, my cousin, my auntie.
I will kill someone and I will go to prison with a smile on my face.
I'll wink at the judge as he sends me down for 20 years
i really really will and if it's my flesh and blood my child that i've raised if another child
hurts that if i go to the parent and i'm like your child ain't mine we need sorted out if that parent
has got any level of non-remorse i will i'll end up in a cell and i know it's coming and i really don't know how to
handle it i am not joking i literally look at my daughter and i go if you know when people kill
like have children die and stuff i will not be like i forgive i just hope they get the counseling
in prison i will murder that person yeah and i'll be like, do you know what?
I'm going to, my whole life is ruined anyway.
So I might as well have a ruined life in prison going,
yeah, but at least it's one all.
Yeah.
Oh, that's how that will go down.
And if someone kills Laura, I'll be fuming.
Fuming.
Fuming.
No, that I'll be pissed off about. I'll be fuming no that I'll be pissed off about
I'll be fuming
but if someone kills my daughter
there'll be a murder
there'll be a murder
there'll be a murder
there'll be a murder
there'll be a murder
I'd get you involved

no i didn't know i wasn't that wasn't i've not consented i'm just saying you know because i'm
really ticklish but me missus it's really annoying
because normally when when i've been in past relationships if someone pisses me off you just
tickle them and they fuck off she's not ticklish anyway uh elliot steals here what a what an opening
do you want to expand on it i think there's nothing more off-putting than when you're
trying to tickle someone and they're like yeah she's not it does nothing to me there's one little
spot on it and it's like here that's ticklish but the rest of it fuck all me um elliot that's what we've
brought you up for thank you we're really hard hitting we're edgy we're you know we're pissing
off some minority groups are you ticklish well i don't want to offend any of the ticklish community
i'm quite uh they're a bit touchy.
I'm an annoying person to tickle because I kick when I'm tickled.
I'm like, I proper giggle and laugh, but it's torture.
So everyone around you thinks you're having... So you kick people?
I'm probably like...
Like a Japanese schoolgirl level kind of...
You have sort of convulsions and you've trained as a kickboxer,
so that's a dangerous
it's my best move
I've just got to hope
the opponent tickles me
what
fighting are you still doing
because you've trained
I haven't for the last
for the last year
I'd picked up jiu jitsu
I say pick it up
but I was
I was terrible at it
I was just white belt
but then
I've done Muay Thai
for about three four years
and then
can I tell that story boxing no
oh when i got if we're gonna tell the most embarrassing story of my life yeah absolutely
oh of course we could tell this story there you go so elliot straight into this podcast
and i'm gonna jump in at places just to put a bit i come across as a dickhead no you don't
you don't i don't not the way i'm gonna tell it do you know the second half to this story no i don't
think so so you can fill that in so um me and elliot a couple years ago at the edinburgh festival
you know rich massara i do yeah our friend he started a similar time to me uh comic based in
manchester you know this is the story i was on about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he does a show at the Edinburgh Festival every year.
I don't even know what it's called,
but essentially two comics.
It's at the Banshee's Labyrinth.
Is that the one?
In the little cinema room that they have.
So there's about 50, 60 people in there.
It's full.
It's free to get in.
And the concept of the show is,
you know at the Free Fringe,
people pay a donation at the end?
Well, he doesn't do that.
He has two comics on stage with him and a movie playing, right?
And it's the comic's job to take the piss out of the film
and just be like, what the fuck's going on here?
So the added little extra to it is,
instead of donating at the end,
like every 15 minutes of the show,
they have a whip around in the audience
and then the bar the venue give them a bottle of jaeger meister at cost which is about 20 quid
so he gets 20 quid off the whole audience they all put like 50p in and then he goes and gets a
bottle of jaeger or two whatever he's got enough for and everyone just gets free jaeger meister
it's just a piss up while two comics are taking the piss out of a film and me and elliot did
armageddon no no no you you were, do you want to do it with me?
I went, yeah.
You picked Armageddon.
I went, great.
Armageddon's three hours long.
It's a three and a half hour film.
And the whole point of the show is you get pissed.
And Daniel, like, Adam chooses this epic of a film.
And then so I'm there just, well, yeah.
Then I just, I just get, we got tanked.
How do you get a venue for three hours of a film?
Cause it's like,
it doesn't start
until like half past midnight.
Oh,
it's the late show.
Yeah,
it's not,
it's not a family
and kids show
at 12 in the afternoon.
Little Timmy,
how do you get a kid?
Sort that cough
right out.
Yeah,
so we got absolutely hammered.
This,
this,
this,
you love Armageddon, it's so funny. I don't love Armageddon, well, I uh you love armageddon it's so funny
i don't know why i got defensive but i fucking don't i don't love armageddon i just think it's
really fun just a steve beshemi fan um it is the most ridiculous like michael bay kind of
just no put like is there's a bit where all i remember is when they uh go to get one of their drillers who they've got to send to space yeah to blow up an asteroid yeah that is the plot i've not
yeah that is it right they they do it with like rap music and all these like helicopters are
coming over to get him and you just go wouldn't you could just phone him you could just surely
there's like nasa or somebody just has this guy's number You don't have to send the whole army in to go.
They have to come and see you.
Hey, mate, by the way, we've just got a job for you,
if you can buy it.
Have you seen the interview with Ben Affleck,
where he gets asked, basically,
because for those who don't know the plot of Armageddon,
there's an asteroid heading to Earth,
and NASA figure out that the only way to stop it
is to fly to the asteroid, land on it,
and drill a hole
and put a nuclear weapon in it
to blow it up.
So the reason,
so what they do is
they go to Bruce Willis
and his drilling team
and they send them to space
to do the drilling
to put the thing.
And they all work on
the offshore rigs,
is that right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're all like oil drillers.
And they're quite
the bunch of characters.
Oh, Dan,
you would not believe it. Oh, Dan, you would not believe it.
Oh, pretty varied bunch of rogues.
They don't like taking orders from the establishment.
But there's an interview with Ben Affleck where they go,
and there's a black one.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
But when they put their differences aside,
they get the job done.
They come from different places.
Maybe if we all work together in society
with our differences and had a black one,
we could put it all...
We could all work it out.
What a borderline racist allegory.
I think that's the moral of Armageddon.
I think that's what they were going for.
Get yourself a black friend.
You can save the world.
Yeah.
Same as Thundercat but
but there's an interview
with Ben Affleck
where he basically
the interviewer says
something along the lines
and I'm paraphrasing
he goes
did you ever think
at some point
during the film
that maybe it would have
been easier to teach
astronauts how to drill
rather than drillers
how to be astronauts
and he just goes
yeah next question no no no he goes he goes I and he just goes yeah next question he goes he goes i
asked he goes i asked michael bay he goes i brought this up to michael bay and he just went
shut the fuck up
you know when you're making a script or something you're like i got my a plot b plot c plot now
let's look for if there's any holes and in the writers room they went well there's that big one and they just went no one will notice no one wants to notice if you're sat during armor getting
going this really isn't this is ridiculous i love it fucking astronauts look boring you definitely
want drilling teams well they're the most calm people in the world if you ever watch an interview
they're healthy they sleep a lot they're're in good shape. Joe's. Calm.
No, the astronauts.
Yeah, if you ever watch an interview with them,
they're like, and then there was a time where we were circling this bit of the Earth
and something went wrong.
They're completely boring cunts.
Well, we worked together and we fixed it.
And you're like, no, I want explosion,
and you met an alien, and now the government's...
Bruce Willis and his team of fucking lunatics.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you reckon they just value them up all, astronauts?
So they're all... Valium a pick up one
what's the one
Valium's a
calmer isn't it
maybe they're all just
Valium'd off their tits
and that's what
that's the key to being an astronaut
I think they just pick people
that are calm and boring
and can handle all of that
oh god
one of the engines has exploded
oh we'll just get on with it
can't have you going
lad
lad
Houston
we've got a big
content problem
no no I'm not joking lad my anxiety You can't have you going, lad, lad, Houston, we've got a big content problem.
No, no, I'm not joking, lad.
My anxiety, my health anxiety has gone through the fucking roof.
You don't want to hear a big bang.
That'd scare you.
The next thing you don't want to hear is the person in charge going,
ah!
Just crying in the corner.
You're not gonna.
We are fucked.
Fancy first on the phone.
I need to ring me dad.
I've seen someone.
Tell him to feed the fucking dog.
I've seen Adam deal with Mackie's getting his order wrong.
I would not want to be with him
on the International Space Station.
That's really the collision course with the national. Oh my God. Be good astronaut. order wrong I would not want to be with him on the international space station oh my god
be a good astronaut
so what happened
during Armageddon
the view
what a dangerous game
that is
two bottles of Jägermeister
a midnight show
in Armageddon
and you two lit
it was two at a time
it was two bottles
of Jägermeister
between 50 people
every 15 minutes
like it was
a constant onslaught and we've got beers while we're doing it as well it's. Like it was a constant onslaught.
And we've got beers while we're doing it as well.
It's just a con.
It was like the,
the,
it was like the lockdown locking by the sounds of it.
It was worse than that.
So we're hammered.
All of us had our tops off.
Cheering you on.
Just at the end of the story,
I went sober for three months and ended up in therapy.
Rob Mulholland still sober.
That was like,
that's from the same night.
So, um, at one point, the entire audience had their tops off including the women like tops off the whole audience were all
singing doing selfies i'm sure i've got a video we can slide in here maybe on my phone at some
point from that night oh god there's no video evidence of that night i think there might be
um your phone has got so
many videos and pictures it's a massive like adam goes oh you remember that thing from last year
yeah there it is i can't do anything yeah i don't pay for iCloud storage you can keep
adam one time on facebook i was i was out with adam in liverpool street and i just started buying
nitrous oxide of these really dodgy guys and just started hammering it.
And Adam decided he should film it.
And then like a couple of weeks later,
just on Facebook,
there's this video of me.
Fuck's going, yeah, bro, we're doing that.
And I'm like, take that down.
My man's on it.
He got some balloons and I was like,
I don't do drugs, I'm not doing anything.
We need to get some more.
Just in the middle of Jordan.
I am in no position to judge.
Last time me and Elliot gigged together,
I don't know how much detail we could go into,
but we basically got some fucking drugs and went for a three hour walk.
We were like,
should we get some stuff in?
We were like,
yeah, yeah.
We didn't have anywhere to go.
The hotel rooms were tiny.
It was quite a nice mild evening.
So we basically got coked up
and had a three hour walk around Brighton.
It was fucking great.
Dan does drugs like a dad.
That's all I can say.
He does it like a dad who's away for the weekend.
This is his one,
you could tell this is his one thing.
And he's like, no fucking about mate,
by midnight I'm in bed
because I'm up tomorrow.
This is the best.
This is us,
we did some,
then went for a massive walk.
We were still like a bit high
and we had some left.
So we basically went to the hotel,
did some more and then went,
should we go out for another walk?
So we did,
we like did two halves to it.
I've honestly shat every bit of shit under the sun.
And Brighton's
one of those places
that you can walk
around bollocks
at like midnight
and it's not a hassle
there's some towns
and town centres
where it's not
a great idea
but Brighton
they were like
what mate
it was fucking brilliant
but you don't want
to be doing that
in Birmingham
do you
I don't know
there's always
I always think of like
some of those like
towns like Middlesbrough I don't think a like some of those like towns like Middlesbrough,
I don't think a 1am
coked up walk around
Middlesbrough town centre
is the best idea.
Let's go look at that trolley
and that burnt out car
going to this.
Were you there
that night in Brighton?
No, I wasn't there for that.
No, you weren't there.
I was in the group chat
because I heard of
the disgrace you made
of yourself.
Yeah.
What happened in Brighton, Adam?
I just got my dick out and had a piss on the dance floor. because I heard of the disgrace you made of yourself. Yeah. What happened in Brighton, Adam?
I just got me dick out and had a piss on the dance floor.
I'm not even kidding.
You've done that before.
Is that Sophie Ellis Beck's song?
He's done that before.
He's pissing on the dance floor.
That's Adam's dance move.
He's ruined them fucking shoes.
Hey.
And now there's no more room Cause he's got a big fucking whipper
Yeah I'm never in more of a state
Than when I hang out with that clique of lads
We've calmed down a little bit
I think
Yeah but a little bit for that
Is still high level innit
Yeah I mean it was
It was like a group of like
It very much like
Touch it masculine
We could do this
I think there's a lot more
Career orientation Especially for myself because i fucked up that fringe yeah
like i totally fucked that up because i was easy to do in it oh i had a great time but uh when the
month ends and you know everyone's like no we're going back to get on with our careers and lives
that we formed for myself and i'm like i haven't even paid off my coke debt let alone the flyers and you've been for so many walks
so what the armageddon night so we're hammered tops off we're singing i don't want to miss a
thing at the end of the film towards the end of it or maybe that was halfway through the film
i don't think we got near the end anywhere near the end of that film. Is it Aerosmith? Elliot went out for a ciggy.
Is that right?
Yeah.
I think so, yeah.
I went out for a cigarette.
You left the building for a reason.
This is where I disgrace myself, isn't it?
Yeah.
And that's when the doorman went to him,
you're not coming back in. I was just in my boxers, by the way.
To your own show.
Yeah, to my...
I was just in my boxers,
and I've walked out i'm like in a pair
of shoes just having a cigarette and to be fair this doorman has every right to go
no this is like an establishment and he's like put me pants are in there
yeah i remember that i was trying to believe it go well what do i do here mate do i just walk off
with no clothes or do you like can i at least go get them if i could go get them you might as well
let me stay
cause I've just put them on.
The only issue is I'm not in clothes.
That's all the issue is here.
The clothes are in here.
So if you just let me in there to either get them and leave,
I've still got to put them on, it's problem solved.
He's like, mate, listen, I've got no clothes on.
What, neither is anyone in there.
You can't be excluding people who have ironed clothes.
Was that Kevin Webster?
I'm not making for Rosa.
That's what I do after a few Yeagers.
I turn Geordie for some reason.
And then I believe you threatened to beat the Dormin off.
I didn't.
And he said,
I know my time.
I know my time.
I trained my time.
It got to that point where he was like,
he did that Dorman thing of,
I understand why he's not letting me in,
but he's gone to that point of, well, fuck you.
I've made my decision and I will not be reasonable.
You're now coming at me with,
like anyone with a modem of power,
you're coming at me with a level of logic of like,
hey dude, it's a show where we all drink my mates for some reason chose a five-day film
uh we're all gonna have these yeagers someone's gonna end up without clothes on if it's just that
be grateful you know what i mean no probably not my best point i've ever made but well i don't know
what i'm saying it back it's kind of right you can't allow someone to play armageddon with you you can make that and expect
them to keep also he's a bouncer a venue at the edinburgh festival it's not like he's like all
bar one cheltenham you know like we've never had any behavior like this what an international arts
festival no one's ever acted the twat if this was richard osman it would be a completely different
story if i was him they'd welcome me in I, so he wasn't letting me in.
He then got, I think a bit threatening.
And I was like, oh cool.
Because I was drunk.
He would have fucked me up.
He would have beat sevens.
You know, he would have beat the crap out of me.
And you were in your underpants.
And I'm in my underpants.
Ready for the fight though?
Like a UFC fighter.
I don't think you want to get squatted in your knickers.
No, you don't want to be the guy known as he was ready for the fight and still lost it.
He came prepared in all the gears.
Like if you turn up to the gym in the full UFC kit,
you know what I mean?
It was going to be a compliment.
And then you still lost the fight.
No.
If anyone turns up for five a side,
your chin pads,
they're going in gold.
Yeah.
It's equivalent to're turning up in
like yellow boots or like pink boots yeah you better be good he so i got turned away but that's
the same night that i ended up kissing kate smurfway oh yeah yeah yeah was that that night
that was that night oh fuck you know kate smurfway says why does that made me nervous him saying that
so kate smurf phrase is a feminist activist
as well as comedian who is could have said comedian first is she not coming on this in a
few weeks yeah yeah she's the next she's here tonight hi kate um i think elias as well and
forgive me for saying this if you think it's inaccurate, I think you are the antithesis of everything she stands for as a human being
everything she stands for?
yeah
you should be
the last, like if there was a queue
of men, if Tinder was real
life and she put them in order
of who she would
kiss, you'd be near the back of that
queue, but I learnt a lesson from Armageddon
to put our differences aside and come together in this love
salad from the green mile in the loft bar go leave and
yeah it was she's the very antithesis of everything you stand for, but a great kisser.
She's great.
She's very gentle.
Yeah, because we did our first ever Edinburgh Fringe together.
We did.
When I did the Big Value Showcase,
I did it with a 17-year-old Elliot Steele.
Oh, you were so young when you were first gigging.
I was such a cunt when I was that age as well.
I don't remember you being a cunt.
I just remember someone being like,
oh, Elliot Steele's on and being like,
I think I might have worked with you when you were 18 for the first time.
I think so, yeah.
And being like, oh, it's just annoying.
Like, even though you were good and you were sound
and you were absolutely worth it,
but it makes you annoyed at yourself for being like,
why wasn't I doing paid work at 18?
Like, it's just, it's very young.
It's very young, but it doesn't.
So I think that's like the uni years of my life. And so i think that that's like the uni years of my life
and i treated those years in comedy like the uni years of my life so that set me back i think it
actually set me back if i'd come into comedy at like 25 and being like you gotta turn up and do
the work and do all of this stuff but instead i was like 18 that's the second day i met adam
he told me a story where he'd shat in a bush on the night home so this is the people i was hanging
out with at age seven.
That was the first.
At least it wasn't on a dance floor, thank fuck.
Have you shit on a dance floor?
No.
Oh no.
No, I haven't.
No.
What would it take?
And you better not kill the dude.
What would it take for you to shit on a dance floor?
Two more drinks.
Than I had in Brighton
probably
some spiced meat
do you remember
the
the
when we were in
the car just gave me
a real like
do you remember
the
I've made a terrible mistake
thing
in Ed's flat
oh fuck yeah
we sprayed just
yeah yeah yeah so we i was very very hung over
obviously like so that was 2014 so i'm 22 and i was deemed the senior of that you were the mature
one i had an 18 year old ed and a 17 year old elliot who were doing some total of 11 minutes each. And we... Tight 20.
Tight as fuck, mate.
And I had to make up the extra time.
Donald pulled me to one side at one point
and he was like,
you need to be doing bits as well.
You've never seen someone stretch out
how funny being 17 is.
And then I couldn't get drinks here
is the punchline to this other joke.
Isn't your first few Edinburgh's a brutal when you're like,
oh, this is harder.
This feels like there's more people watching.
When you're at clubs, you're like, yeah, I'm a young comic.
I can put this together.
There's only three other comics on.
These crowds seem quite happy.
And then you get to Edinburgh when you're young and everyone's like,
go on then.
You're like, I don't feel like I've done all my homework.
It's a lot of pressure that first few.
We went back to Ed Hedgesges flat after one of the shows one day to get a bit of lunch and then just sit around talking shit for a bit and we're all very very hungover because we've got
out and got hammered the night before and uh they're in the living room and i went for one
of my famous poos you know what i mean and you've smelt them and you know i don't even know these
guys like infamous yeah i i don't even know these guys a few days maybe a week or 10 days or something so i didn't
really want to leave them with a stank so i'm sat on the toilet and i can smell it and then i was
like they can't walk into this so i'm just gonna grab that deodorant and spray it everywhere and
that should hopefully cover it and then what they heard from the living room was,
boys, I've made a terrible mistake.
And I'd grabbed shaving foam.
So they walked into a shit-smelling room
covered in, with me, shaving foam,
because I'd just grabbed it and gone,
Our first response was,
So I'm just stood there, stinking of shit.
As it expands
As it slowly expands
We thought he shat foam
We
We were all just there
Adam you're not well
But that show
Because we were on at what
12.30
12.30 every day
Like was the
The start time of that
So dangerous
But it was amazing
At how
Unprofessional because we started realizing
nobody was nobody gave a fuck no one was watching daryl's not there daryl couldn't give a shit well
he probably could but he's you know someone's ripped him off for five quid somewhere so he's
in an argument about that like he's so he's we are really saying hello to a few people on this one. Singing hi to a couple of old friends.
I've noticed, as I've got it, there's like been a nervy energy from Dan.
He's just sat there.
I love it.
But I also, I know that I'm going to be answering the emails.
Oh, hi, Kate.
I'm really acting like the pandemic is going to go on forever and work is never coming back.
I'm acting like, you know, when you see an old school teacher
and you're like,
I always thought you were a cunt,
but then I remember,
oh, I'm still in year five.
I've got to go in.
Donald watched one of the shows
about five or six days in
and he pulled me to a side
because you and Ed were young
and they'd been given the spot
to just have the spot.
Ed had just won So You Think You're Funny.
He's like the new new yeah i'm coming
elliot's like comedy prodigy just signed with the big agents and they they'd been given this
because like they're the they're the future of comedy they get the thing but they they didn't
have the full 20 that they needed so daryl turned up one day and he put what's on side he went are
they doing like 11 minutes every day and i went yeah he went no wonder it's finishing shows he
went you need to be doing like 15 to 20 on top of your comp here and so i started comparing and then in between in between
everyone doing a 10 minute set you started doing adam rowan friends at your first yeah
turned big value into rowey bags and mates but we would all do it was great fun like even though
the month like the first i don't know how you guys find your first edinburgh but it was hell
like i look back and i go I wasn't happy during that
but I look back and go
oh that was so much fun
yeah yeah
that was
nobody gave a fuck
it was
it was the greatest time ever
and we would start
trying to get things
I know we've talked about this before
trying to get things into
into our sets
yeah yeah yeah
and uh
what was
we gave each other like
funny things
but then we'd give Ed like something like
really serious.
Like it would be like-
Oh, so you challenged each other before the show
to be like, make sure you say this.
Oh yeah, it would be like,
Adam's would be like, deep throat bonanza.
And then my one would be like, banana cream pie.
And then Ed's would be like, correctional rape.
And then Beyonce's like-
Good luck, Ed.
And Ed's on stage shitting luck Ed and Ed's on stage
shitting himself
like
what if just for laughs
are in
and he's
and he's young enough
to think
but I've got to say it
I've definitely
got to say it
can't lose face
oh my god
I mean I can fuck up
my career
but I'm going to
lose a bet
but that's
that's the thing
when you're young
you're quite like
your first Edinburgh's are a's the thing when you're going to a coin delight. Your first Edinburgh's are a roller coaster.
When you're excited, you're so excited.
It's almost like your first relationship, isn't it?
It's all like, oh my God, this is going to be amazing.
And then the nights out are the most fun thing ever.
The hangovers are hell.
When you're down, you're down.
At like four or five Edinburgh's in, you're like, yeah, it's fine.
It's all right.
It's good.
Doing decent shows.
It just levels out.
It gets easier
to just cap the
I don't think
I'm ever going back
for the full run
said this before
and I'm going
to keep saying it
so that I bring it
to reality
I'm not going back
for the full run
because I don't want to
I don't like it
and I don't want to
so I'm not doing it
it'd be nice to go up
if we could find a venue
for a week
to do
a little run of have a word lives.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll do two or three shows.
I'd love to just not advertise it to our fans.
Right.
And do what we do to your typical Pleasance audience.
Just fly.
We're not doing what I just said at the Pleasance.
No, but that's built for you guys.
This will hunt in the Guardian.
It's built for this. The Pleasance,
this podcast is perfect.
You should do it in the courtyard unannounced. Go great.
You should shop a stall next to the guy who sells
halloumi wraps or whatever the fuck they're doing up there.
I want to be in the same venue that you watched Armageddon i want to be in that bad news now that i've been
on here you're not getting that venue that show nearly got cancelled after that night like they
pulled bitch to a side and was like that was too far if that ever happens again we will cancel
i do i do owe him a massive apology i don't know know. That's part of the... Well, this is now an apology podcast.
Oh, hang on.
Go for it.
That's what we do, honey.
An apology.
We're ready.
To Rich Mishala
and the people of the Banshee Labyrinth,
including the bouncer,
I just want to let you know
that I let myself down.
I let my family down.
You've done this before.
He's been speaking to the same lawyers we had on the phone last week now do daryl it's a daryl martin no don't i want to let you know i couldn't
give a fuck no uh no but i've had to do it i had to do it when uh with well i went to sarah pasco
at some point but i don't know if you guys want to touch on all of this.
We can touch on that, yeah.
You sort of briefly mentioned it before we started recording.
This is making me sweat in the ass.
I love it.
I don't want to drag you guys into it if you're... Ah, we're in.
You've got a story to tell.
If you're in it.
No, because I don't want to come in here and then like,
I'll just have a good time and leave and then like,
I go, oh, we're going to do that again at some point.
You're like, oh, we lost everything. What we'll do is we'll let elliot tell his story we'll give
him our platform to do so we we don't need to add anything to it you don't need to say anything bad
about anyone and we'll just you know i i i think it's exactly what people that watch this podcast
want and enjoy think it's kind of they want the honesty they like it it's a fucking comedy podcast it's opiate
anthony level like you know it's that sort of thing but the i have just on that no not looking
forward to gigging in london next time when i'm like hello people that never come to roncorn
i was uh yeah i was on another comedy podcast. Yeah. Main word there, comedy.
Yeah.
And I did like a story,
like it was interjected by Jamali and Kai.
And they were just sort of doing things.
And Sarah Pascoe took what I said
and what we all said out of context
and put it in a book about sex work.
Why she's writing a book on sex work i don't know she's
never done sex work she's never got a sex worker so it's kind of like someone going i'm gonna write
you know write a book about being a cab driver i'm never gonna get in a cab i'm never gonna
become one but here's my opinion on all of this and it's a good booking you know i was listening
to i was enjoying it and then i was listening to an audio and then my name pops up and she starts dragging us into it now out of context
what we said looked really bad yeah yeah but that's why it was funny i don't i don't know
it's not a funny matter because i don't know i don't think you've ever been through this
i don't appreciate you laughing at my woe i was just thinking if you transcribed the script of
have a word the podcast oh my god that would make for something if you
write it down with a whole thing dude imagine the first half of today what if the queen was bummed
to death said adam does she take it in the arse he speculated playfully this is a question i asked
my dad the other day i went do you reckon the queen's ever earnestly been called a cunt by
someone she knows do you reckon anyone's ever gone to her like
look you're just being a cunt here like but about something in the house she's like going well you're
sat on the remote and i'm not sat on the remote are you are you and then she just someone goes
look you're being a cunt about this like genuinely said it i reckon charles has got that in him i
don't think charles but i reckon philip because i don't but that's an interesting thing someone in this world has never earnestly been called a cunt i must fuck with you
a little bit i think it could be her i reckon charles might have done it behind their back
rather than to her face like i want to be the king when's this cunt gonna die it's not the same it's
like the same as if a line of people are there to meet you i'm sure someone in line is shouted out
you're a cunt you'll manage to see something but someone you know like if i was doing something like on that night and you came to me with elliot
mate you're being a cunt right now yeah i'd go oh fucking hell i'm being a cunt but she's probably
never had that said to her it shows and it shows yeah yeah so anyway so sarah pascoe she was being
a cunt so what did you say what how nervous you have to wash your seat down later
i feel really i'm more scared of sarah pascoe than the queen
not even talking about i i like sarah like i do it's just you wrote shit about me what what did
you say we need to know what you said it needs to be contextualized well does it yeah yeah of course
it's like this is the thing right with things like this we're fucking about do you know i mean
sometimes it's funny to sit there with mates and fuck about and say the wrong thing because that's
that's funny and in the context of a podcast where you've built a relationship with people
that's a funny thing to do and when people you've just written the blurb for our work in life basically that's exactly what
we're dicking about there's a relationship like i'll listen to this right there's there's things
where we will laugh at like there'll be a joke made about your mom or we could do a joke about
it like it's done because there's a relationship there and that's fine and the people in the
relationship can watch it people outside of it if they just see a snippet of that and go it's that that's the problem with society it's like
no you fucking idiots we aren't saying that this is the we should all behave like this it's like
funny to think if we did think like that yeah there's a lot of people out there who think like
that and we're we're satirizing we spoke about this in the first half you're trying to make
comedians laugh and comedy comes
from surprise
and it's very hard
to surprise a comedian
without being,
without going too far.
So you have to go too far
to make a comic laugh
a lot of the time.
And you're trusting
that the people
that are watching
sort of get it.
It's not like being
at a comedy club
on a Saturday night
where people have
just turned up
and it's a party atmosphere,
don't know you.
We basically assume
that we all know
each other you're our mate you know our sense of humor everyone watching knows and then all of a
sudden out of context clipped out in front of the wrong person it sounds awful yeah and it's but
it's also that thing you're saying about comedy club in a comic you still have like 10 minutes
in the first part you set where you can build a relationship with the audience so then you can
so like i sometimes do more risque jokes
and but i'd make sure maybe that's five minutes in or i put one in early just to let you know
what the fuck i'm about rather than fair play to anyone if they just walk on and do that opening
gambit and it's dark it's class yeah yeah if you walk on you'll be like thanks very much the thing
about pedos is like you're like whoa it's it's interesting and i like that kind of comedy but
i'm i can understand when he's not doing the week. I've started doing that though.
Yeah.
Especially.
There's not loads of you though, is there?
No, but I find it quite fun
to just set me stall out at a comedy club.
Like this, I don't know whether I'm allowed to say this,
but I'll just say it anyway,
because why not?
Why not just completely drive everything into the ground?
I got in trouble last year.
I was, I won't name the brand,
but I was linked with a brand, right?
And I put a joke out at the start of the pandemic,
which was essentially,
it's only going to kill old people,
and do we really need as many as we've got anyway?
Let them all die.
And that was my opening joke for ages.
I was just walking on stage,
and when we, I twisted it, when we come back from lockdown i was like uh you know all your nans are
dead and i'm not arsed and to be abrasive at the start i found funny but then the brand i was linked
with tried to get that joke taken off the internet and i was like i'm not i'm not doing it here's why
here's why i think like brands and uh left can go fuck themselves. Yeah. And I say this as someone raised in like the back of SWP meetings and all of this stuff.
Like I was raised as fucking idiots think brands are their friends and they are morons.
HSBC sponsors gay pride in London.
HSBC takes money off Hezbollah who throw gay people off of roofs.
And people go, oh, thank God.
They might as
well have a meet there I bet there was some corporate psychopath in that meeting going
look we've been caught doing this buy a rainbow flag and make those you know flat puffs just one
second allegedly
not shame as alpha it's fascinating it's
it's interesting I'm just trying
It's interesting
I'm just trying to talk
Less than you two
But this is
This is the thing
Look up
Look what he's done to Dan
If that chair had wheels on
He'd be over there
He's like
Ah I'm off
So would you rather Have flippers off but that that like clientele and way of thinking is now
uh affecting comedy where it is just like no no we're fucking about we're saying something funny
and we're recording it we're putting it out there and this is a new thing and you guys are at the
front of that in the uk so you're getting this brunt of it that I don't think people have had in the UK yet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
It's not,
so when people go,
does cancel culture exist?
Yeah, it's not always going to lead to a cancelling,
but I've been in writers room where you go,
let's put this funny joke in
and people go,
oh, there's a hypothetical woke person
who might start a Twitter storm
and that's going to stop this.
We just talked about it before, yeah.
Sorry, I'm going over.
No, no, no, no, no, no. It it right oh sorry i'm going no no no no no
it is in writing people go no no no can't do that's funny that's funny in the context of this
this is funny and people go i just i don't know and i get it i don't blame these people but then
when you've got people who are comedy producers and promoters and fucking comedians if you're a
comedian and you throw other comedians under the bus go fuck yourself
get back to your drama degree
you're not involved in this
like it's
getting a round of applause
for that baby
I hate that
that was the most
lacklustre round of applause
it was on there
he's got an applause
on the soundboard
I thought we'd all
be able to hear it
you've just got
no headphones on
Andrew Schultz
quoted
from the Planet of the Aes that ape don't kill
ape do you know what i mean and comics shouldn't kill comics shouldn't throw another comic under
the bus every comic should be like he was trying to be funny it's that patrice o'neill interview
where he's up against the woman have the right yeah you like the the you've got the right to
attempt to be funny and if you don't be if, if it doesn't work, then you made a mistake
and you move on.
But the attempt
is what he was trying to fight for.
And that's what every comic,
in my opinion,
should be standing for.
The hypocrisy of a comedian
then going,
awful joke,
terrible.
You're like,
you cannot be a proper comedian
and then be so hypocritical
and so short-sighted to go,
well, that's awful.'re like god almighty who are
you pandering to who are you trying to make your crowd they're pandering to a lot of the producers
this is a big problem in uk comedy is the people who produce comedy on uk tv certainly the newer
shows and obviously there's exceptions there's a lot of producers i really like and i really like
working with but there's a lot of people who are just you know they've just come out of oxbridge
and they're just like well for the last four years me and all of my friends have
thought this so i'm just going to keep that as my personality forever now and anyone who doesn't
like it and anyone who goes even one percent against what i think even if the other 99 is
exactly aligned then i would never work with them and they're blacklisted from all my shows that's
why it works and that's why i don't really give a shit about telly anymore. But also, talking about brands, the reason those writing rooms have those hypothetical woke people
is because they represent a complaint that hasn't happened yet
that will go to the producers
and then end up on the laps of the sponsors who pay for the show.
So this is the major problem with having brands
who have to be sanitized
because they're trying to sell to everyone.
They've got shareholders.
Everyone is answerable to the final,
the bottom line, which is the money.
This is why art and comedy
and pushing the boundaries of what is funny
and what is acceptable and satire
cannot be linked to Johnson & Johnson.
And fucking...
Well, hold on, hold on.
I've got to leave them out of this
because I've got a thing going on with them at the moment
there's one thing
I don't want to step on today
their vaccine is the
best one
30% effective
so I could have made
a better one in my bath
sponsors
and brands
and the comedy
creative process
it's such a dangerous
marriage isn't it
we've spoken about this
over the past day
I don't mind saying
like you know
this podcast is starting
to do quite well
and we've got a lot of
listeners and a lot of you know whatever and we had someone basically come to us and go we could
get you linked with uh a big podcast network let's say i won't name them and he was like do you want
to start that conversation and we went no yeah good because then it's not it's not because we
don't want to take money from the man if If we got enough money, you better believe we'll fucking sell out.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm for sale.
Absolutely.
But we're not-
What's your price?
What is the tap on the shoulder?
Like, all right, boys.
We're going to say-
I'd want to take a million.
So we'd need five or three.
I just need drainage in my garden.
I've got really bad-
That is what you'd sell out for?
I want to be a millionaire. I want to be able to say i'm a millionaire and open my bank account and prove it i'm going to put a
million pounds in my current account that's what i want to do what point of that of that million
are you like doing this podcast and you're sat there and just before you go on someone goes
hey uh dan adam guys i see what you want to talk about today
and you've got this email
we were just wondering actually
if you could talk about
there's a great story about cats
during a fancy dress party
and that's more light hearted
and shows the world more
how many would be giving the million pounds back
within three episodes
oh me fuck those cats
I fucking want to see them all get AIDS lad
what we really don't want,
more than someone coming in and going,
we've got topic suggestions,
which would be annoying as fuck.
I thought you were about to point at me
and just go, bringing up all this shit.
We don't want a boss that people can go to
and go, they said this, tell them off.
Because when we got that controversy last week,
they had my agent to go to
and go blah blah blah blah we don't want we don't want we we don't like that there's some we don't
want someone who can go this is a problem for us so you need to change it it's our thing we're not
trying to upset people but it's our thing and we are going to fuck about and say some stupid shit
someone went to my dad once on twitter that that is so fucking weak it is but it
was oh by the way if you don't know elliot his dad's not like a civil engineer my dad's not
terry from the book oh my god i'm gonna go to my dad's knocking on excuse me sir you know your son
so i love how your brain worked there by the way you had the name Terry Terry Butcher Terry Butcher Terry Butcher
he's a butcher
you got the name
think of a job
a job
but yeah
I did
I don't know
someone tweeted something like
if you're given unlimited phones
and can make a
a theme park of anything
what would it be
and I thought it'd be funny to tweet Schindler's list right and but then i deleted
schindler's list theme park schindler's list theme park i then deleted it because i thought
i thought it was hack i was like i thought ah that's the go-to holocaust film should have been
boy in striped pajamas one yeah do you know just as a joke yeah that was the problem that was
low low hanging fruit is that why they were ringing your dad hey this is the original
list is the go-to hack of the holocaust you know what i mean should have gone pianist
i i never every time schindler's list is brought up i i always just remember that there's a lift
company called schindler's yeah i just can't and i'll never not a lift company called Schindler's. Yeah. Schindler's Lift.
I just can't.
That'll never not be incredible to me.
Schindler's Lift.
If you are the kind of person who gets in a Schindler's Lift and doesn't go, something's wrong with you.
I was going to get them to do the pool cart things on the things as well
because they're good at the elevation and stuff.
So the theme park was going to work out.
I had this planned out.
It was all there.
One ride.
You do not wanna follow.
You do not wanna follow.
Loads of shoes for sale.
Oh wow.
I'm gonna be here till about fucking half 12.
I'm gonna ring my agent myself.
And let him know about this one. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I thought this isn't good. I'm gonna ring my agent myself and let him know.
Sorry, should I stop?
This isn't good.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
We're just fucking around.
So what would you say?
I mean, I've got an idea.
This is why, when you lot said thanks for defending me,
I was like, you really don't want me on a side.
It's proof you've done something wrong.
But yeah, so I deleted it because i was a bit
hacked the guy i then just tweeted i deleted that because it was hack and this guy was like well
with you with your jewish heritage and your dad being marked still and like having coming from
like part jewish family do you really think this is the thing to tweet when i tweeted it was hack
he was then like how can your how if your account was hacked did you get it back so quickly oh god
so i was just like this is the best thing.
And I was like,
what does he think my dad's going to do?
Take my PlayStation away from me
for doing a Holocaust joke on Twitter.
Like grounds me like,
son, what have I told you?
Not to do Holocaust jokes on the internet.
And certainly not hack ones.
I did not raise a plagiarist.
All right.
Your dad's way more likely to bully you
for taking the easy route with the punchline.
Oh my God.
Also, if you're from Jewish heritage,
does that give you the right to make the jokes
more than the other way around?
He's basically going,
well, you're Jewish,
so you definitely shouldn't make those jokes.
Wouldn't that be the same bar that they use?
Anyone should make the fucking...
It's funny pretend that you're going to do a Schindler's...
Like when everyone's like,
I want an Iron Man theme park. And then someone goes, do a Schindler's, like when everyone's like, I want an Iron Man theme park.
And then someone goes, I want Schindler's Lift theme park.
That's just a funny, ridiculous thing to say.
Could you imagine me going to investors?
Guys, seriously, just trust me.
Schindler's Lift is going to make a massive comeback
in the form of a theme park.
It's going to be like Disney World.
I don't think that's an episode of Dragon's Den.
I think there might be a hypothetical woke person that maybe shuts that down and for that reason i'm out
right what did you say on the podcast yeah it needs to be contextualized for the tuesday i was
talking telling a story about a time that i aggressively got approached i don't know if
have you guys been to ibifa before no i'm
going in august you're going in august oh god so you you'll see this like if you walk down part of
the strip in ibifa you are grabbed by street walking sex workers okay like sex workers they
will cut and it is aggressive yeah and so i had this fit like there was one who was like to be
like do you want to come and get
in this limo with me and this woman and i was like absolutely not because you're going to rob me
like i did it's just that's what's going to happen that limo is going to drive off
i feel like right now that you're trying to explain what you did to me your girlfriend
no she was aggressive love listen though i was walking down the strip and she said get in the
limo and i was like all right all right long long story short i end up getting a hooker or sex worker
sorry i end up getting a sex worker right that's that's the story and not in a limo not in a limo
and it was one of the most depressing experiences but what was funny about it was like when she was
trying to take me down this bit to rob me i was like i'm not gonna go down there because i'm gonna
get robbed we just kind of like just both stood there and then that was that she gave
me like went to touch my dick it was like no this isn't going to happen is it because you're here to
rob me that's the story and then afterwards i gave her the money and she went oh could i have
another five euros to go and get pizza and i went you've done this date the wrong way around that's
the story right that's a joke that's a joke that's the punchline right there we
go it's like when i smack head in the middle of a bus for the bus and then he sees how much change
you've got and he goes can i have the quid as well never get all the change out that happens
a lot though don't you like can i have 20p like of course you have 20p and he's like oh that's
a two quid there i love that yeah it was yeah do you know what it was exactly the same as that
this woman that i solicited for saying yeah yeah totally the same thing um i told her story so i end up in sarah pascoe's book where
she's using this as an example of uh men's attitudes towards sex workers but i was on with
jamal and kai and kai made a joke well i like sort of go oh then it turned out she was a sex worker
and kai went what gave that away when she went sucky sucky five dollar that's what he said like it couldn't have been more clear it was a yeah she
then went kai's racist joke and i was just like like reena's like but kai isn't racist don't frame
him as a racist do you know what i mean like that's what's fucked up about this stuff you
could get and go oh that was a racist joke or was it a joke playing on the stereotype that is given to
certain sex workers yeah because when they are street workers approach anything it was hack more
than anything it should have been it was the schindler's list of sex work i wondered where
you were going with that little side note before full fucking circle yeah i wish i brought it up
now because i know that on twitter this guy's gonna go why did you bring me back oh jesus but that's the thing when i watched what happened to you guys
it was that similar thing where anyone i speak to was a comic going oh what they're going through
is horseshit but i'm not going to say anything because then it will be me yeah yeah thrown under
the bus we had messages from comics going you, like, I thought what you did was funny.
I understand why people didn't.
The witch hunts bollocks,
but I'm not going to say anything
because I don't want to get crucified.
But yeah, and we had comics get in touch and go,
who did publicly say something and said,
I'm in a WhatsApp group with 12 other comics.
Everyone's on your side,
but they're not going to say anything
because they don't want to get crucified with you.
It's a tricky one
because I don't think you can just go to people like,
you have to come out and put your career on a,
because you know what it's like.
We absolutely didn't expect that at all.
And look, we said this on Patreon.
We really don't want to upset people.
We dance on the line with this.
When someone gets upset by something we've said,
we're not happy about that.
And we don't want to do that.
It's never our intention to do that.
We're just-
And people have a right to be annoyed and upset.
Of course.
But, you know, like, they have that right,
but it's the way they then try and shut the whole thing down
and stop you ever doing what you do.
Like, it's an overreaction.
But I think the layer that we've not...
Someone complained to Ofcom.
Yeah.
They do realise you're not part of...
The BBC.
But it's...
The other layer is comedians being part of the bbc but it's the the other layer is comedians comedians being part of that
lynch mob is a special type of like do you know like it's yeah it's fucking horrible man because
like we're all in this thing like what we all go through in edinburgh and stuff and there's like a
version where you're gonna have a shit like the older comics who took me under their wing and bullied me mercilessly from 17 from when i was
16 i started bullied me mercilessly give me shit all the time it was always done as a way of hey
what we're doing here means any crowd you meet who do this to you they're not going to do it half as
good as we've done it to you so you're bulletproof now you go on and someone in the show starts
screaming at you or tell you fuck off and fuck you and fuck this it just can become you can deal with it it's funny because you
now are sat here insecure about things you didn't know you needed to be insecure about
but there's also other things that like if you're a comedian it's without ever having like a ring or
official certification you're part of like a comedian's m's group. You're part of a clique of,
it's a small group of men and women that can make a living doing comedy
in virtually any country.
But in this country,
I'd hazard a guess at six, seven, 800 people,
max could properly call themselves standups.
Your men would be like,
there's a bit of camaraderie.
Okay, you can criticize each other.
You can say when each other's
doing wrong but just feels like hanging's a bit much and it feels like it's just i don't know what
it's almost going against the code of like are you would you are you happy to throw another comic
under the bus do you think you're gaining something or or are you more activist than you
are comedian that's that's a that's a good point. That's exactly what it is.
The thing I don't get with these people is like,
the place I think you always start or stand out
or like I like to is like,
I'm a fucking idiot who doesn't know anything.
Like what you lot were saying on the podcast was funny,
but it was Dan and,
it wasn't fucking Mensa at the UN,
like giving their like speech about,
it was two guys fucking about.
You don't wanna be right, you wanna guys fucking about it want to be funny just
wanting to be funny and these people are coming at it from uh I think it's a place where they
haven't worked on themselves as people I think like comedy is almost good in therapy in a way
when you get good at it because you start going like here's my issues that I'm gonna go tell to
a room of strangers I'm kind of fucked up so let's not take everything I say it's golden I'm not
perfect I'm not perfect here's a story about I've just told a story about me getting a sex worker in ib for like what the fuck went wrong in my
childhood that led to that moment do you know what i mean like that that's not an attack on sex
workers it's a it's a it's layered it's it's like it's a sad story about you really yeah it's
incredibly tragic yeah but it's funny it's but I paid a woman to touch your dick
and then didn't let her
alright
and then
used to buy her pizza
I know what you're trying to say
Kai's racist
Kai's racist
so let's have a break
but that group of lads
that you're
really good mates with
and you know
me and Dan are both friends with
from a bit more of a distance
Kai, Slosh
Milo McKay
Brian Cullen
like that group of lads
they are going to take the piss
I've had such good nights
with them both in Edinburgh
there was that night in London
which was
oh
chicken wings
did I tell that story
on this
have I told it on the Slosh one
yeah
did I
with the bag
yeah
did I tell it
yeah
shove your chicken wings up your arse
shove your chicken wings up your arse
and they chased us with
Elliot's bag
you forgot your bag Mr. Chowing Man
there you go
for Sarah
that was accurate
that wasn't a racist impression
that's exactly what one guy
sounds like
try and write that accent in a book
challenge accepted Try and write that accent in a book. Challenge accepted.
I reckon I can do that.
Try and...
And also, I didn't say...
Everyone reading it on the bus,
we'll go over it again, say it out loud,
and people are just going to look at him and go,
fucking all right, mate.
I didn't say where that man was meant to be from.
He was a Cockney.
Born, raised, eighth generation Cockney.
That's just how he spoke.
Oh, God.
Let's have a break.

Fern Norton.
We've had some emails.
I'm going to be doing the prep today.
Is that all right?
Yeah.
Cool.
We've had, yeah.
The views we've seen is,
it got tense.
No, it genuinely did it.
Dan's having another period.
Apparently I'm not doing the dishes enough.
Someone said that the other day
You know in a comment
Did you see that?
Does Dan really hate it?
No I saw that
But someone said
What happened before this record
Because it seemed really tense
At the start
Was that at Patreon?
I thought you were being
A bit of a moody bitch
Didn't I?
Oh no it wasn't that
Is everything alright at home man?
What's going on?
Everything's really good at home
It's because he started
Going fishing a lot.
He's like...
Genuinely, before we started recording,
I wasn't eggy in any way,
but realistically, it's me doing the prep.
This is from The Goat.
Sapnin, Adriano, Danilo, Sensei, Cafu and Fred
and guests on the couch.
I have a debate that has divided
my uni house and I need urgent answers
to have a word with one side or the other.
It came to light that one of the lad's birds
makes him dab his cock
after having a piss
for good hygiene. I thought this
was fucking mental but all the girls
including my other half agree
and think it's disgusting if a
lad doesn't dab his surprised Caucasian
eye after having a piss
am I?
mate that is why he's the goat
that is wonderful
that's why he's the goat
is this Harry?
yeah of course
am I living in a fucking simulation
or does everyone actually wipe the end of their dick
with toilet paper after having a piss?
And am I the disgusting one with a pissy rue hole,
to quote Alfie Brown?
Please settle this debate as it's driving the house insane.
The girls think this is equivalent to having a piss kink
if you're not happy to wipe your dick hole.
All the best, Harry Robbo.
I'll take this one, just initially, if that's okay, Elliot.
My ex-girlfriend forced me to do this.
She was like, you wipe your dick,
because that dick comes near me,
and I don't want eight-hour-old piss
in my fucking vagina hole,
or my bum hole, or my mouth, or my ears.
So, wipe your belly, right?
And then...
Paraphrasing or...
She did not say most of that.
I met that woman and that was not verbatim.
So...
She was always walking around going,
I'll tell you what, he's got to clean that
before he sticks it in my ear.
That's me.
And honestly, that might be...
I've been asked for much.
This will be the end of us
then she
then we broke up
and genuinely
like that was one of the positives
and I was like
I don't have to wipe my dick anymore
like this is genuinely
how did she know
how did she know that you didn't
women know everything Carl
and they always find out
and plus sometimes
it dribbles in me undies
and she'd be like
you haven't wiped your undies
women know everything and they have a sense of smell yeah do you shake but sometimes sometimes And they always find out. And plus sometimes it dribbles in me undies and she'd be like, you haven't wiped your undies.
Women know everything.
And they have a sense of smell.
Yeah, do shake.
But sometimes you shake it for a minute and a half,
two minutes, three minutes, you come,
and then you put it in your pants and it still dribbles out a bit.
Can I say, I'm with Adam on this one.
You dribble?
I swear to God.
Very, very rarely.
You think you've done the job
and then all of a sudden you're like,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
It's Trixie
for months I've been like
how liberating is this
I'm saving so much money on toilet paper
that's how big your dick is
how many
these dabs
take forever
I don't have to go to Costco to get my dick wipes anymore
using a beach towel I don't have to go to Costco to get my dick wipes anymore. Fucking always find a phone.
And using a beach towel.
Get the new one.
As a his and hers genital wipe.
And then last week,
my girlfriend was in the bathroom with me
while I was pissing.
And she was like,
I think it's disgusting that men don't dab their willy.
So I got it and I was like,
this again. Backstreet's back. All right. and she was like i think it's disgusting that men don't dab their willy so i got it back streets so now i'm back
elliot where are you at i think and i think the read between the lines in the story it begins
with they say they're at uni and those are some women who still have high expectations of men
oh really what i mean they aren't they're
still like i want a guy to have good hygiene i want a guy to have this my girl she's three years
old i mean my girlfriend's 28 and she just she's like she knows she's a lot yeah you're alive
well done like that that's the stat do you know what i mean well done she's dealing with someone
who got a sex worker in ibf genital hygiene isn't my girlfriend's like
main starting point you have a lot to go through with that so i think that's like that
18 years old you know like if you're like the equivalent of if you're a guy you're like i want
a girl who's gonna be like she's gonna be able to do this do that in the bedroom and then it's just
like nah that's yeah it's the same political ideology isn't it when you're 17 18 19 you're like no we everyone
can have a million pounds each we should we should everyone should have a free rolls royce the second
they turn 16 and everything can be fine and then just as people get older they gradually and
gradually and go well you know nurses should get paid a bit more a bit more but
that's it they can solve all of their problems in a nightclub smoking area on ecstasy i think it's
still a good idea just be like what if we just love each other more and that's just the answer
and that's what you do when you're that age and then like i'm still 24 so i've still got a bit
of hope but it's fleeting yeah it goes with each passing birthday it just suddenly like it's gone from like i want to drive a lamborghini to like i'll take a fiat to now if i can pass my test
do you know what i mean like that is just so what's to happen it's gonna be as long as i get
the bus seat with the most like i would hate to have a sit down with the 21 year old me
because i thought i was going to do some bits.
I'd be literally like,
he'd be like,
so Dan, where are we?
Just turned four.
He'd be like, listen,
I'm just one bit of drainage away
from a phenomenal lawn
and I know
I would see genuine sadness
in his young eyes.
See, I'd sit my 21 year old down
and be like,
you were right kid.
What would you tell him?
What was 21 year old hoping for?
It's exactly the same as you now.
Have you made no personal growth in any?
He's just started dabbing your cock.
That's all you've done eight years later.
Just be like, watch out lads,
you're gonna have to fucking wash your cock.
It's just got better hair.
21 year old, you would be like, l lads how'd you do that i probably weigh
the same but i'll carry it better we are the same we're the same as we were as 18 yeah we've spoken
about this a couple of times since he's been back like with this podcast and carl coming on board
we've sort of found a way to never grow up which has always been our goal since we became friends
yeah is to just find the way to monetize being fucking morons.
Yeah.
And then this come along and like,
just dream,
believe,
achieve.
We've thought it into it.
That was our school's motto as well.
Yeah.
It really was.
That was our school's motto,
wasn't it?
What?
Dream,
believe,
achieve.
No,
it's very close.
Oh,
just dab your dick.
That's it,
yeah.
Dab your dick.
I think it's respect,
believe,
achieve. Oh oh it is
yeah
so forget your dreams
respect the teachers
believe we're right
achieve your GCSEs
what motivational speaker
was running this school
I always wanted a job
at least it wasn't in Latin
it was so noncy
I always wanted a job
but I didn't want to wake up
at 7 o'clock
or 6 o'clock
that was my
as long as I had a job Zelligs if I was working in bars when I worked in job i didn't want to wake up at seven o'clock or six o'clock yeah that was my as long as i had a job i've always worked in bars when i worked in japan i didn't start till
midday and now we start whenever the fuck we want to yeah so well we've just just quickly like
look behind the curtain here today we all met at 11 we were like bloody hell
these goodies early starts on it 11 a.m i nearly missed an 11 o'clock train because I was
standing there
doing such a lazy fuck
do you know
what I would say
about the old
most fucking hate us
you know
when we're like
we've all decided
we're going to start
getting up in the morning
and waking earlier
from 11am onwards
Tom Twisselton
finishing the shift
Tom Twisselton
listens to the
Patreon exclusive
by 7
7.30am
on a Wednesday morning
and then he does
a little tweet
going oh it was quality
this week lads
and you're like
god almighty
that's early
he works fucking hard
I think there was
a lot to be said
I think a girl
forcing you to dab
your dick
is a little bit
over
the line of like
alright
as if
because it's one of those ones
and I don't like this argument
all the time
but if you like pop your head around the toilet went love have you tried your fanny i think it
would i think it would be met with a bit of displeasure however i don't think there's
anything wrong if someone going you need to dab your dick like if you don't dab your dick pre-sex
having a wash i don't think is the worst idea you know if if that's an issue like i could understand
if i was a girl and
i was about to bang a guy be like right i'm into it this is what i'm into but you need to wash
all of that first properly in a shower including your legs you plan sex that's that's the thing
but sex not meant to be planned in any way This is meant to be flat
It's just
There's like spontaneous
Nice light flowers
And oh no
The fact that you said anyway
Also implies
It's also a surprise
To the attacker
What am I doing?
Mate
Oh fuck
So consensual people
Shouldn't plan
Like we'll have sex later on
Let's have sex now
No
But right So What are you talking about? I'm not wrong It's really weird That you bring this up Sensual people shouldn't plan. Like, we'll have sex later on. Let's have sex now. No.
But, right.
What are you talking about? I'm not wrong.
It's really weird that you bring this up.
If my Mrs. I just leaned in and started, like, putting...
Would she be like, oh, my God, you've taken me?
She'd be like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Does, like...
Is that what middle ages...
Yes, mate.
See, so...
Do you and Sarah could just grab each other and start making love?
They just go for it, yeah.
And that's what you're supposed to do.
You watch some telly
and you catch a side of a tit
and then you're like,
let's fucking go.
Yeah.
Well, what if it's a really good TV show?
Finn, do you feel comfortable sat there?
You just sat there editing a podcast,
you catch the side of a tit
and then you just bang Finn.
Listen, wait there.
No, wait.
Listen.
So, I understand both sides here.
I understand that as you get older it's sort of like
are we bonking on wednesday night yeah week's notice make sure you clean i get that it's an
exaggeration but you're not far off i get that right and it's so much better the spontaneity
thing totally i sort of found out something last week though because like me and my missus were
going to bed and like she
we both knew we were going to have sex
when we got there we hadn't gone sex in
35 minutes get me ready
we hadn't done that but it was going to happen
what you put on a telly you know as well
I'm just looking for something to just put on not watch
oh yeah we know
so we'd done that but I
had felt particularly
moist that day and not in a a Lady Vajara moist way.
I mean like sweaty.
And then you told her and she was like,
fuck and I'll dab everything.
No, so I went in the bathroom
and I washed me dick and balls in the sink.
Did you use some Gillette?
A spray of Gillette?
Love made a mistake.
I'm going to have to shame it now.
I used some Dove, right?
Soap or? Are you sponsored by fucking dove
are you some dove so i doved me dick right and i just went for it then we got in bed and then
she smelt the dove on me dick and she was like have you doved your dick and i said yeah i was
like i did it because i felt particularly sweaty today. And she was like, I wash my fanny all the time.
And I was like, what?
Mad.
That's the first time I've dove my dick.
Unless I'm getting a shower.
I don't normally go and do a full clean
because I don't feel like I need it.
And I also think sex is better
when it's dirty and smelly and ugh.
No.
No.
No.
It's a bit, I get what you're saying.
I don't think a lot of women would agree with that.
Like, oh yeah, I love it when the knob's absolutely on.
There's that like sex smell and then there's that smell.
Do you know what I mean?
There's a difference between like,
oh, I'm into this and just like, ugh.
Morning sex stinks, doesn't it?
I don't want it to be like covered in shit.
Don't kiss me.
I just want it to be a bit sweaty.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
You'd be wanting to be clean at the start.
I like the human stinking.
You get into the stinky.
You don't start stinky. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want it to be like at the start I like the human stinking you get into the stinky you don't start stinky
yeah yeah yeah
I don't want to be like
smothering myself in feces
should we have sex tonight
no
you've got to go to the gym
for three hours first
yeah yeah
could you do a tough mother
before
I think there's some
there's a
there's probably a happy medium
for me of like
I would love a bit more
of that spontaneity
like is this happening
but then a quick pit stop before you know my biggest turn off is uh what's the opposite what's the opposite
spontaneity like planned yeah like arranged organization as soon as i get a whiff of it
being i'm like nah but i don't know why it's weird i just think brushing your teeth before a
bonk there's nothing no but you shouldn't you shouldn't have to you shouldn't have to but
there's the spontaneity because sometimes like what you've seen about watching the tv have you had it where you're
watching a really good tv show and you're like you feel a hand go down and you go like i know
but we're about to find out what tony soprano is going to do with uncle jude do you know what i
mean have you ever had that thing and then you don't want to go and kill the spontaneous moment
and go just a second like but in your head you're're like, we can't, we're going to miss that.
Pause.
Pause.
Always pause.
I can't.
This has been a problem
in every relationship
I've ever had,
okay?
I can't do two things at once.
I just can't.
I'm doing one thing,
I can't do the other thing.
If I'm talking to you,
I can't concentrate
on the telly
at the same time.
It just can't happen,
right?
We know that.
What? We both know that. Exactly, right? We know that. What?
We both know that.
Exactly, right?
So if I'm watching something with my missus
and she starts talking,
I pause the program, right?
And I'll wait for her to finish.
You done?
But it looks eggy.
Yeah, you done?
Right?
It's when you're tough.
Right?
But when that happens, right? i always want sex got a high
sex drive if someone wants to have sex with me let's go as long as you've got a vagina
and you know you're in a relationship you're relatively nearby let's fucking have it
this was my talk to myself on the streets of ib fairies
so as they start doing that when we're into something good and we're
watching it right i know that it would not be sexy to pause it so i can't go yeah yeah we can do this
but i'm just gonna pause this so i know to leave it but it does sort of ruin the sexual intercourse

Apparently not.
There's no Mr. Olympia pigeon category, is there?
Well, make one then.
Yeah.
That's still fun.
No, I'm not.
I'm genuinely trying to think who would go first.
I'd definitely eat Finn definitely Finn Finn I'm sorry
he's got some
spice
he's literally
the youngest one
here and everyone's
like yeah let's
kill him first
yes what's
fresher
I'd like a little
in my head I was
genuinely like I'd
like holiday
that'd be nice
I think it would
kind of ruin it
when the first
night when we
were eating
Finn
yeah like the
wedding
the first night
I am starving
look lads
they don't open
the buffet
till tomorrow
so we've got
no option
other than to
eat Finn
we've not even
got hungry
we've not even
we've still had
the meal on the
plane
I'm still
digesting it
I was like listen
let's not draw
this out
we've still got snacks.
We bought a load of stuff at Duty Free.
Someone's got a big Toblerone down.
We don't need to eat Finn.
Elliot, that's pudding.
Where would you start?
That was the other part, wasn't it?
Which part of Finn are you eating?
Let's say it's me.
I'll let you live out your fancy.
I'm dying first.
I don't know.
I don't think he wants to eat you.
Why? I don't know. I'm't think he wants to eat you. Why?
I don't know.
I'm dead.
Oh.
That's good.
Go for it.
Which part first?
He's just enjoying you being dead.
Don't know.
You've got to go.
It's just something that...
It's arse chicken.
I don't like chicken on the bone.
So if I could just...
Eyes.
Eyes.
Eyes, not eyes.
Jesus.
Elliot, that's so dark.
Hey, hey.
If you're going to...
Eyes. If you're going to be a cannibal, go hard.
Eyes, teeth, fingernails.
It's got to be ass cheek, hasn't it?
That's where the most fucking...
Carl, he's died in the plane crash.
He's died in the plane crash.
And knowing his history of IBS,
you'd start eating his ass first.
That's where you...
No, but you can
cook off the shit
cheek
you don't just go straight
what is this
he's not cooking me bumhole
I'm not cooking his bumhole
I'm not cooking his bumhole

Next time lads, we should brine the arm before we serve him.
Got a better leg.
Have we got to have a word?
We have.
We've got several.
Oh, okay.
Do at least one.
What shall we do?
Shall?
Yeah, we'll do this one.
It's a bit of a big one.
Oh.
So this came in from Holly.
Buckle in for this one.
All right, lids,
please can you have a word
with my ex-flatmate's dad?
Two weeks ago,
my roommate threw me
a surprise party for my 21st.
It's worth noting,
before all this,
it's only me and her
living in the flat
as it's her parents
who own it.
Because the party
was more for me than anyone,
most of the people
who came were my
student friends from uni
when they came round they asked me if i could get some coke in as they didn't have much alcohol
i said it was fine as long as they don't act like dicks about it because my roommate really hates
drugs oh jesus they said they would keep it to themselves the night continued as normal the only
way you could tell it was even going on is because they were going to the bathroom to do it every now
and again and then going for three hour walks around brighton again halfway through the night someone told my roommate
it was happening by accident as he thought she already knew that happens a lot she got really
upset and started spouting nonsense about how she couldn't believe they were doing it in the bathroom
as her towels were in there and also whenever my when when one of my mates did a key
in the kitchen she said i can't believe they are doing it in the kitchen i don't want cocaine on
my chicken nuggets tomorrow uh she went to bed said no one ever honestly i can't believe they're
doing it in the kitchen i don't want cocaine on my chicken nuggets tomorrow i would love cocaine
on my chicken and she went to these are mine not nuggets. And she went to, these are mine,
not Etta's.
She went to bed,
very upset.
And by this,
by the time the party
had died off,
we all just went to bed.
The next morning came
and about five of us
were still in the flat.
I apologized to my flatmate
for causing her
so much upset.
And she said,
we were okay.
She then went out
to the shop
to get some food
and the rest of us
were just sat home
watching TV, hungover. Out of the blue, I get a phone call from her dad i pick up the phone and
immediately hear holly it's andy i want you to pack your fucking bags and get out of my flat
as soon as fucking possible how dare you associate my property with drugs if you're not out in the
next hour i'll come and get you out myself and I'll be calling your father and tell him exactly why
I didn't know what uh what to expect that I was really sorry I didn't know what to say except that
I was really sorry and it wasn't me who was even doing them but he was having none of it and told
me to get out and hung up turns out my flatmate had texted her parents in the morning telling them
that had been drugs in the flat and I had said it was okay I understand they would not want drugs on
his property and it has a right to be angry,
but the aggressive phone call
and actually kicking me out of the house
two days before my 21st birthday is ridiculous.
Is he the dickhead for kicking off and kicking me out
or am I the dickhead for saying yes to my mates at the party?
P.S. I have officially been kicked out
and spent my birthday on a fellow patron's couch.
She's a patron, keep that in mind. I have now fully moved out and my ex-fl a fellow patron's couch she's a patron keep that in mind
I have now fully moved out
and my ex-flatmate
has converted my old room
into an office
nonce
for herself
and refuses to speak
to her dad about it
sorry for the long one lids
but it's hard
it's a hard one to condense
love the pod
Holly
so
are we having a word with her
for getting a
beaky mates round
or
the flatmate's dad who sounds like
a royal i'm gonna let our guest take the lead do you want to grab that mic in closer to you
first up massive respect uh no um yeah whenever someone you she's dealing with someone who's just
this is a good thing you're dealing with someone who's a goody two
shoes you've had to go through the loss like doing a bit of blowing i i get both sides of it like if
you've never done drugs and you find out someone that's done cocaine and you're gonna your picture
is gonna be like of the cartel stood there and like people doing it off machetes for some reason
there's like flocks of geese running around you know i mean that's gonna go straight to crack cocaine heroin yeah yeah that's
what's gonna be your image of it so i can totally get why they've done that but if someone's like
you're gonna get cocaine on my towel like it's called rack it's not rack of towels do you know
what i mean it's like it's a it's an overreaction but she shouldn't have snitched to the parent i
reckon there was some i reckon there was some beef going on beforehand where she wanted her out like if
you're doing drugs she's no but then she threw the party so she obviously liked her i think
i think you know it's quite weird really because i've been surrounded by drugs
growing up and you know a lot of comedians do it i've tried them before they're not really for me
me and you are very similar drugs and that we don't really like them
yeah and i mean you two are the same i'm not into it
it it's a weird one i think it's a massive overreaction i understand why he's pissed off
i understand why the daughter was like wake up like it's the same overreaction I understand why he's pissed off I understand why
The daughter was like
It's the same as what you're saying
I don't do it and they're doing it in my house
And you invited them
And you're saying it's okay
I understand they're being a bit whingy
I think she's a fucking lunatic
To be like my towels are in there
Like cocaine erodes towels
I don't want cocaine On my chicken nuggets in the morning.
Well, then don't put it on your chicken nuggets.
I dried my hair and now I'm a drug addict.
The scar-facing with the chainsaw is taking place.
No, my towels.
I love the overreaction.
Do you reckon you could rub it into your hair follicles
if you had it in your towel?
I reckon someone's tried.
I reckon someone's tried.
Do it on your gums.
Do it in your hair. I've often said you can do it on your gums do it in your hair
I've often said
you can do it in your bellend
yeah you can
yeah stick a pill up your bum
what
you can do it
because it's a semi-permeable membrane
you can do cocaine
through your bellend
yeah but Adam would need
thousands of pounds of coke
that's the problem
to get through all of the dirt
where he's dabbed it
he's dabbed it
so it just makes it wet anyway
it just all falls down
it's all
look at that man
you're fucking pointless I the thing with doing drugs is doing it around civilians is one of the most dangerous
games to play like i've no judgment but i've i've been there at parties when you're like you're
there's housemates who don't do it. And it's not fun for them.
And it's not fun for you unless you're really selfish.
Like, I don't give a shit.
Fucking Gemma invited us round so we can do what we want.
You have to be a real arsehole to treat anyone's house like that.
It's just not a nice feeling.
I just try and separate them as much as possible.
On my stag do, I had, there was 20 of us i had loads of mates i had my dad i
had my uncle robert i had three of my female friends i had my best mates from uni some mates
from comedy it was a real gang of us and i'd say there was about 10 of us who had coke and i've got
mates in the forces my obviously my dad and my uncle Robert not that into it
and a few people that just don't do it.
So I said exactly what that girl said was,
do not do it anywhere.
Don't talk about it in front of my dad.
You know what I mean?
But we were old enough.
Like I got married at 34, 35.
You're old enough to be like,
you know how to do it.
Take it to one of the bedrooms, do it.
And everyone was so moving around no one
noticed my dad had no idea we got away with it beautifully obviously it was a bit obvious when
everyone was fucking hammered and flagging at 3 30 and 10 of us were like
let's talk more in the hot tub and then and then apparently will duggan who is a mate of ours who's a great comedian
he was there and had no idea it was happening until at four in the morning he was hammered
and my mate who i'm not going to mention because he doesn't want to know
was sat in the hot tub on his own apparently he was just sat there going my eyes wide open will was hammered and came into the garden and my mate
who's met him a few times just went will just the man i wanted to talk to and will was like oh
everyone's high as a kite but it wasn't in their faces it's a tricky one when you're doing it
around someone that doesn't want it done around them it's kind of on you
like I've done it
but as soon as
you've got someone
who's like
I don't want this
it's sort of on you
I don't know
it's a tricky one
can I ask you
if you had a house party
in yours
well
this has happened
right
but I mean now
yeah
10 years older
so you have your 30th
in yours
let's say
let's say like
for whatever reason it happens and me and Elliotiot come and isn't in mind with my mom yeah yeah no no so you you
would not let your mates do it even though a lot of them do it if your mom was in the house yeah
no way what if she wasn't as long as it was like there was no fucking remnants no no no so we so
we can't do it in her room no well what's the fucking point a couple of my mates
I made smoked weed
when we were 18
they still do now
I was like
I'm gonna ask them to do it
just don't do it in my house
don't do it in the front
whatever
and fucking
yeah
I remember about a week later
gotten away with it
and mum opened
the Littlewoods catalogue
and they'd been fucking
whatever they do with it
using it as a roach
no no no so it's just like they must
have balanced whatever they were doing on the inside of the little wood's catalog so the inside
of the little catalog is just full of weed i was there so in their head you've gone don't do it in
the house so they're like yeah we'll smoke it outside we build it in the house we've got to
make it in the house there's a breeze it puts puts you in shit. I had mates a day when we were, when I was 14,
I had some mates there
and they were smoking
and I wasn't
and I went to bed
and I was like,
just make sure
when you go out for a cigarette
all the shit away
and the next day
I come downstairs
and my dad was just sat there
and he just left
the pouch of backy
just sat there.
He didn't move it
and it was just that thing,
you know,
when you're like,
nah,
that genuinely was my friends. It wasn't me. That excuse that's the excuse yeah yeah yeah it's it's one
of those ones like if you have a party and there's people who want to come and do drugs and your mum's
in the house it really is incumbent on them to not be the guys like listen i know carl's mum's
here but i love to party like that's not
the kind of party you want to get fucking wrecked at at your house is it but you have to you have
to put that stipulation in i think because i think if someone goes to me like or say someone
wants to go to me hey we're having this party and i was oh there's a party and someone goes i'm
gonna bring some mdma then and they might bring mdma with a thing going i'll give some to carl
like i was saying like thank you just assume and then you turn up happy birthday happy birthday and you say turn up and
you've half hour before you got there dropped and you get there and carl's like no no there's no
yeah you have to make sure it's obvious you can't be going i don't do that because just if you've
not told them before then yeah what would you do if uh at the party you walked in the bathroom and
your mum was just with a massive pile of cocaine just snorting I'd be like you're doing it
let's fucking get on
yeah yeah
yeah
because you're a really close family
like that
I used to buy that at Secret Santa
I used to get
like 30 quid's worth of Lemo
for Secret Santa
for whoever I got
and they would always fucking make that
when you worked in a bar
yeah
what the fuck
that was
one of the most scouse things
that you've said for a while
yeah Secret Santa
got 30 quid of Lemo.
What's Lemo?
So here's what happened.
Here's what happened, guys.
Elliot.
I'm sorry, is your family the Kray twins?
No, in bars.
Oh, yeah, no family.
I thought he said...
He's not giving his uncle Brian.
I thought he was getting it for his family.
No, no, no, no, no.
As in, like, the lads or...
Do you not know what Lemo is?
No.
So Lemo, what happened was, right?
It's a scouse thing.
I think it's spread further than Liverpool now,
but it started as a scouse thing.
All the drug dealers in Liverpool had like a big meeting
and they were like, listen,
the police are onto us calling cocaine, coke.
How do you know this?
It doesn't.
Have you seen The Godfather?
It was at the Holiday Inn near Lime Street.
Got a conference suite.
They all had a big meeting.
They were like, look.
I don't want it sold to kids.
I don't want it sold to kids.
Hey, Dom Steve.
You show great respect to my family.
So they were like, look, the police are getting onto us,
calling a coke.
We need a code word.
Might take us a few hours to hash this out.
Something that they're never going to be
able to guess someone said pepsi someone said cherry aid then someone said lemo and the meeting
was over what is what's the reason for it why is it i mean that's a very fucking jokey way of saying
but that's probably why it was it's coke yeah but aren't the police wouldn't anyone now watch this
and go i mean we've solved it i think the police that code fairly quickly i don't think they were waiting for this episode
because because when you used to go clubbing they called them gary's because of gary ablet
tablet yeah yeah i thought lemo was something to do with like a rhyme thing and apparently it's
just like i think so yeah it's just clever because no police the police are going
they're moving a ship
oh I've got you
the Christmas jumper
oh I've got you
the 30s
I need those
to be made up
I don't want to
well I'm not joking
it's a fucking great idea
I don't do it
I've never done it
but I've bought it
how sound are you
hey don't do this
anywhere near my mum
get on it
but what's weird is
one of my best mates now
Alex
I bought his mate
some for Secret Santa
and he gave him some
and that was the first time
he ever did drugs
and then a couple of years later
I became one of his mates
and I was like
oh I bought your first ever
bed of drugs
he's dead now
overdose
wow
so I don't know
yeah the dad's a fucking
bellend
40s
gotta be careful with the
mates it just sounds like a very sort of like i i imagine i have friends who have parents like that
who like would have no idea that they what their kids are up to but and but were to find out would
be like you're breaking this family apart because they've smoked a spliff yeah but coke is like that's a serious
drug yeah that's not like you know if you if it was oh they were caught with a bit of spliff it
would be like but hearing people have been around your house doing coke is a bit like yeah yeah if
you've not done it you're not accustomed to it yeah that's my stepmom rang me 10 years ago and
went oh my god my my uh nephew's been caught with buying crack cocaine
and i was like wow and they were like everyone's really worried his mom's really worried
and obviously came to me because i'd been quite open about i go clubbing i've at the time i'm
25 late 20s i've got i'm not dependent on my dad for money or anything so i just talked about it
and i'd done it on stage but because my life was going okay i become this
weirdly semi-respectable person to ask about it so i was like right it's definitely crack cocaine
or has he because he'd been caught doing like nicking money or something for his and it ended
up that him and his mates were buying coke and to me that is the two most different stories ever like because crack
instantly goes like that sounds horrific it sounds like it's like veering off towards heroin
addiction all sorts of horrible stuff and coke is what fucking like wealthy bankers in the city
of london do every week but to her she'd heard cocaine and gone well it's crack cocaine and
that's what parents do if you if you've never been involved you go oh that's terrible because it sounds a bit like the thing
it is it's confusing but it's not as bad as it sounds it's a party drug now isn't it especially
in the uk it's definitely a party yeah but why why do you say like crack and heroin like because
i in my opinion i think like i reckon crack and heroin have the stigma that coke had maybe like 20, 30 years.
So whereas coke used to be like the, whoa, you're doing coke drug.
Whereas like the amount of people just on nights out now who just go out and do coke.
And I think that's when I sort of would stop doing it.
When I at one point went, I'm now looking for an excuse to do this.
So I'm going to pack this in because I think you have to have a certain mentality to be an addict whereas i was just
being head initiative it's so addictive it's so addictive oh yeah yeah yeah but the feeling of
being in in in your head you're like i feel great i feel coherent you you know when we're on form on
the pod and we get to the end of it like
we were really on it then we were hitting the funniest that's basically even if you're not
like that when you have coke you're like that's how you feel you feel switched on firing bloody
blah and that feeling is addictive that's what you've got to watch out for yeah i think i think
as well especially if you have something like in your life that is missing or you go this is the answer do you know what i mean shit yeah but but like crack that's
it's still just coke it's just smokable and it's the only reason that that's there is because it
was like in america that was considered the black drug that's what black people do whereas coke is
more of a like you know it's it's a bit more oh party yeah yeah yeah whereas like perception, yeah. Oh, it's perception. It's a perception.
If I said to you earlier,
after the show,
I'm going to get some coke in,
do you want a little bit?
Or I said,
do you want to get some crack?
Do you want an honest answer?
Would you not be like,
would you not be like,
dad, dad.
Do you want an honest answer?
I'd go, fuck yeah, man.
But like,
I don't think there's a-
Would you do heroin?
Yeah, I would.
That's common to some men.
That's going on.
We need Laura's gone.
But would you do heroin?
I wouldn't inject it.
Yeah.
But I know people who've done-
Would you rub it on your dick?
Yeah.
Well, how else are you going to-
You know people who've done it?
I know people who've done it.
Yeah?
And they've said it's the worst calm down they've ever had they'd never injected i know people
who smoked it i think i know someone who snorted it and they were just like it was meh i think they
were just like it's not because it's sensationalized because in a tv show you watch like requiem for a
dream or you watch train sport or something it's like it's like they make it like slightly sexy
and like oh it's gonna do this this and this and then you probably come to it and go i just watched uh spongebob for four hours like people
it's like it's like i've heard people it's like being stuck and i'm not a downer guy like i'm
i'm not really too into downers yeah so when i when i take them i just sort of sit there full
of angst you know whereas uppers were the thing that i preferred but now like that's why i still
think the best drug was ecstasy that the only problem with ecstasy is the comedown yeah like the comedown
the next day because you've used seven years worth of happiness in four hours your body goes yeah i'm
gonna give you this now that's when no one gets addicted i don't know if anyone's addicted to
ecstasy they're addicted to like the lifestyle that it brings of like going to a rave going to
a club but this is this is the thing when i first yeah no one's just doing ecstasy in the house
i did on a tuesday on the couch no you can't do it every day you can't do it every day you just
it doesn't even when you're 22 and you're in the middle of clubbing you you you come down you miss
sleep and you come down even though you've had the best time you've
loved everyone you've wanted to talk about everything everyone the music was amazing
by tuesday you're like i need a few days off i need to be left alone i need to eat some vegetables
like it is it's not an everyday thing it's even even when you do that thing where you
you've probably done it where you've gone out on a night out and you go to do it again the next day
and then you just stood there and you're not up and you just feel you're a hollow man you go
with a cup of tea would you do heroin no but like you can't predict the future um
no i don't i don't think i think i would find heroin too heavy as like what is that just the
stigma that's the stigma that comes with it
that's why you don't
but that
do you know what I mean
about the crack
and the heroin thing
like I know it's the same
but like it's
it is way more stigma
it's way less socially acceptable
oh if I turn up
to a house party
and people are smoking crack
the first thing I think
is like fuck
this is going to be a story
yeah
like this is going to be
like a woman
and people
not even a bit
but to this landlord dad
it's literally all the same yeah yeah it's easy to go yeah this guy's a prick and he to be like a one-time thing. And people were not even a bit just like- But to this landlord dad, it's literally all the same.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's easy to go, yeah, this guy's a prick.
And he does sound like a prick.
But to him, he's just like,
people have done crack and heroin at my house
near my daughter's chicken nuggets.
And that's the worst thing to come out of the drug war yet,
really, when you think about it.
I think he's massively overreacted.
I think I would have a way, but I'm going to go, look,
I think he needs to be told,
look, a lot of people do this,
especially around your daughter's age.
Your daughter's a good girl.
She doesn't do it.
I wouldn't worry too much about it.
You've made your point.
It probably won't happen again in your house.
Don't kick the poor girl out.
And to the girl who's sort of ran the party,
who's written in,
I'd go, yeah,
if your roommate is this much against drugs,
I wouldn't allow your friends to be doing it in your house.
She's turned her dream into an office.
She doesn't want to, did she?
She doesn't fight for it to stay there.
She sounds like a lot of fun on a night out.
She should just like, almost like count us in
and just go turn her bedroom into like a constant sex place.
She's like, no, no, no, you've got your office.
And it's just like a guy with a needle out his arm
and a blanket lying on the floor
turkey twizzlers
everywhere
