when we were kids, was it?
It was a homophobic slayer.

we're gonna I was gonna draw the joke out a little bit and include the I've got a new girlfriend. Guess what? Fanny. Bumhole. No, okay.
I was going to draw the joke out a little bit and include the herbs,
but we've gone straight to Fanny and bumhole.
That was what I was, you know.
Okay.
KY Jelly and yesterday's curry.
KY Jelly is such a go-to for you
in terms of sex aid.
And I've never known of under the age of 80
to use it age hey can i age of 80 can i can i point of order i don't think he's used ky jelly
on the pod too much is this in your private friendship yeah yeah i mean just in general
i think it's just because i found my mom's ky jelly once because she was finger blanging in
the air she's fingering herself in the bath what i went with blast and i'm banging there blanging you can't say words wrong on this podcast carl no we know this is editing with
headphones anyway that was wrong ah you said finger blanking instead of banging so etta did
that to me reading the other day we did bedtime got the little storybooks out whoa whoa whoa whoa
you when you watch this episode back or listen to it, you're going to realize that you went from fingering in the bath
to your daughter far too quickly there.
I know.
You said finger-blanging, blanging, blanging.
Ez did that to me the other day.
That's what you've just done.
The story was about me saying a word wrong,
not about my daughter finger-blanging me.
So if anyone was like, where's he going with this?
And now I can't do it because everyone's like,
wow, this is about you getting finger-blanged by a four--old but yeah it was a it was a great moment when she was like
dad you said a word wrong and it had the vibe of the podcast she was even sat on that side of me
she was like why did you say that i was like oh my god i've got a fucking little mini adam row
smell my fingers no because i know you've been cooking but you might be lying and you might have
been finger blanging
And I'm not into it
Smell it
I'm not sniffing your fingers
I'm not sniffing anyone's fingers
Come on
Honestly
I'd rather sniff your pits
Than your fucking fingers
No I don't
But I don't
I'm not going to
I'm just saying
If I was
If it was a would you rather
It smells lovely
It smells like
Pork
That's about to be cooked
Right
Well I don't eat pork You don't eat pork devout muslim now
yeah since i got finger blanked by my four-year-old daughter i've just changed
my whole belief system fingers solid um so what have you been cooking so because uh Enough of the silly. Let's talk food. Right. I'm not a great cook, but I make a fucking great butty.
Right?
A really good Cuban sandwich.
Oh, mate, I'm so hungry.
Go on.
So I'm slow cooking some pork.
Mama like that.
Slow cook it on.
I don't like pork.
Put it on high.
It's got a bit of water in.
Bit of paprika.
Fresh garlic.
Fresh chilli.
He does it, doesn't he He goes
Don't worry
I'm gonna go
Jet fucking scouse
Turned it on
At the lecky
Rosemary
Thyme
Right
Salt
Pepper
Oh I squeeze a lemon
And then the lemon that I've squeezed
I've chopped up the zest
And put that in as well
Wow
That's gonna be cooking for six hours
Get home
Put that on some bread with some cheese, mustard,
a bit of roast ham, as well as the pork, and a pickle.
And then you toast it by putting it in a pan with butter in.
Put the butter on the outside.
Oh, that is such an improvement in our household.
If you're going to make a toastie or a sandwich,
instead of trying to grill it, because I like a little bit of toast on my bacon butty or on a cheese toasty
you know when you put the toast in like toast on your bacon butty no you know toast bacon toast
quality uh you know it's such a fucking nonce you know when you're making a bacon butty the
temptation is to stick the toaster the the toaster, and then toast it,
and then try and put,
but it's all fucking,
it's overdone.
I like taking the,
basically the bacon butty
or the cheese toasty,
and then doing that
fucking pan fried thing.
Oh really?
Mwah.
Beautiful.
Couldn't agree more.
You have to get good bread though.
You can't do that with war buttons.
It's just not.
Do you do it with war buttons?
I just do it with whatever
I'm doing it with really. I get a, I'm using a tiger loaf it hasn't even cut you i'm gonna
cut it myself my god yeah have you spent about 26 quid on this sandwich it sounds like it sounds
like expensive sandwich was like a fiver two packs of ham like a quid each, so that's seven. Bread was £1.15, so that's £8.15.
Cheese was three quids, so that's 11 quids, 15.
Mustard I've already got, pickles I've already got,
so they're negligible.
So you're looking at...
How seriously you said that?
The pickles are negligible.
Don't even talk to me about pickle spends.
I don't do it.
I get to the start of the fiscal year.
I do my tax return,
and then I stop by pickles.
I actually save money.
I'm always,
every fucking April,
oh, it's Adam Rowe for fucking pickles.
Get him a pallet!
Go on, sorry.
Looking at 11 quid,
but that's going to do at least four people's tea.
You can come to mine tonight
if you want a butty after the pod.
Nice.
Carl can come get one. It does sound really good tonight if you want a butty after the pod. Nice. Carl can come get one
It does sound really
good.
I'll have a butty.
Yeah.
You're having a
barbecue as well.
What's going on?
Well, I've fucked up,
haven't I?
I've got a gig on
Sunday, this Sunday,
in Manchester with
you.
And I forgot.
So I've arranged a
barbecue.
At the minute, me
dad and me little
brother are in my
house and I've given
them a fucking a job to do
because they're out of work
so I was like
I want me garden doing
are your hands dead heavy today
why
fucking table bongos
it's amazing
that it wasn't me
that said it
I hadn't even noticed it
that much
imagine if I just
slid my bum underneath
go on
how do you
fart
your hands
how do you
squeeze your
ass for your
hands
I don't know
what it is
do very well
to slide your
bum onto the
top of the
desk
without Adam
noticing
I got bread
cheese
pickle
and then me
just sliding
my ass in
bloody hell
yeah my dad
and my little
brother they're
laying artificial
grass in my
back garden
and I don't
know how it's going to go
because they've never done it before.
They're just winging it.
Just doing their best job.
Okey-doke.
I got them a ton of sand.
Literally a ton as well.
My dad asked me to get him a ton of sand.
And I thought in my head,
he's just being hyperbolic or something.
Like, just get me a bag of sand.
He didn't want a bag of sand.
I like it when people go,
oh, mate, I've got a ton of sweets.
Yeah.
He actually wanted a metric ton. A ton of sand when people go oh mate I've got a ton of sweets yeah he actually wanted
a metric ton
a ton of sand
yeah it wasn't like
it wasn't
yeah in building terms
they don't usually go
can I have fuck loads of sand
right
we're getting the order together
for Adam's new garden
how much artificial turf
do you need
shit loads
right
like a fucking shit load
of that
how much sand
for underneath
a fuck ton
yeah a fuck ton of that.
Got the artificial grass from the B&M.
Yeah.
Really classic.
They're well known.
That's where...
25 quid a roll.
Wembley's laid with B&M grass.
Yeah, B&M.
It was 25 quid a roll.
And I needed five of them.
I only paid for four.
Well, hopefully it'll last till August.
That's the main thing, isn't it?
Did a little steal.
Did a little steal.
I left it... So I had five rolls of the main thing, isn't it? Did a little steal. Did a little steal. I left it.
So I had five rolls of the grass.
And I made it so it was definitely the guy on the till's fault.
Because obviously when you've got loads of big stuff in your trolley,
you just take one of them out, don't you?
And tell them how many you've got.
So what I'd done is I'd got like some plant pots and stuff as well.
Paid for all of them.
So there was like four of them.
So I gave him the plant pots and said there's four of them.
And then I gave him something else
and was like there's three of them.
And with the grass,
I gave it to him
and said four more of them.
Knowing he'd just put four in.
But I didn't lie.
And then when I got out,
he didn't charge me for four.
You know, it sounds amazing.
It sounds Derren brown mind control and
then you remember he's just a 14 quid at b&m how much did you say 25 quid or 25 no fair enough
fair enough that's it's a whole sandwich yeah but it's also 20 yeah i work on percentages not
numbers i mean if i save 20 of everything i spend this year might be a billionaire yeah
yeah that's how i invest it really well.
You are 20% off a billion.
No.
If I save 20% of my income
and buy a EuroMillions ticket
with that 20%,
I'm a billionaire.
I'd have to win another EuroMillions.
Oh, we should start to have a word syndicate,
shouldn't we?
No.
Why?
Because I want to be rich on my own.
Why?
But you win the same amount.
That's the whole fun of being rich
is to be more rich than everyone else
do you play the lottery now?
I don't
no but I imagine
spending the money
buy a ticket
every three months
and be like
fuck
I see a jackpot
I'm like
how do I spend that?
if all the patrons do it
you've got a 4,000 times
better chance of winning
yeah but imagine
if we all win like 12 quid
and we've got to split
that was like
4,000 patrons
that's 12 quid
more than he'd ever have won
and we've got to split 12 quid between 4,000 people. He doesn't do lots. He has 12 quid more than he'd ever have won.
And we've got to split 12 quid between 4,000 people.
Oh.
We take that.
So your garden's getting done,
and you're paying your dad and brother with a barbecue.
Is that basically what's happening now? I'll give them a bit of money as well.
Oh, right, right, right.
Yeah, yeah.
Fed them last night as well.
Got them a chippy.
And Jack got food poisoning, so that was nice.
Did he? Is that a little bonus? Yeah. The one by ours, the little red one? That's the same theory as winning the EuroMillions, last night as well got them a chippy and Jack got food poison so that was nice did you
is that a little bonus
yeah
the one by ours
the little red one
that's the same theory
as winning the EuroMillions
and having other people
not win it
you're like
you got a chippy
and your brother
got the squirts
that's a fucking
he threw up
that's extra food poison
isn't it
didn't just poo
not just muck
no no no
mouth muck
mouth muck too
but how
how did was that just bad luck?
How did he get food poisoning and you didn't?
Because he ordered something else.
He got salt and pepper chicken.
I got salt and pepper ribs.
Not the same thing.
Thanks.
Different animals.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Isn't it?
The opposite of negligible.
Is he all right?
Yeah.
Just did a vomit and then he said he was sound
was in the bath when it happened where were you with like with this landscaping that's going on
are you are you genuinely just letting them because this is all already making me feel
a little bit how are you just like i see what they do see what they're doing like i had grass
in the garden and i had 14 flags so I've took the 14 flags up
got enough grass
to cover all of that
and a little bit more
erm
they've dug all the grass up
dug all the mud up
got them some compost
to make it all level
got them the sand
got them
hired them a wacker
yeah
which isn't a Joe Pesci
style wacker
where you get killed
just the plate
where it flattens
everything out
yeah
hired them that this morning
from HSS in Bootle
shout out
did they give you
20% off
no
yeah
and they reckon
they'll have the grass
laid tonight
right
and if not tomorrow
for me barbecue on Sunday
which I've now got to cut short
because I forgot how to get
we could just stay in the house
like we're not going to
like gangbang your missus
are you not
that's reassuring yeah I've told you now so we can you know if you're not going to, like, gangbang your missus. You know?
Let's reassure them.
Yeah.
I've told you now, so we can't. You know, if you're not going to gangbang someone,
just don't bring up gangbangs.
All right, we won't.
Nothing.
Yeah.
Do you think that was what was going through Adam's mind,
is the problem with the gig?
Like, I wouldn't nip off and leave the barbecue,
but, you know, it's a family barbecue,
and I don't want everyone gangbanging my missus.
It's not the main concern. yeah number one it's the first thing in it yeah we got we got
got ribs got chicken we've got the no gangbang waivers signed everyone signed a no gangbang
waiver yeah cool yeah i bring my daughter a finger blinging um It's still not okay Why is that making me uncomfortable?
I think it's funnier
Because it's
A kid doing it
I think that makes it
Funnier
What your kid finger
Yeah yeah yeah
Hilarious
The court say it that way as well
Like
He made me finger
His bum hole
It hadn't even
It hadn't even occurred
To me at all
Until you went
What happens if you If a kid just Fingers your bum hole It is bumhole. It hadn't even occurred to me at all until you went...
What happens if a kid just fingers your bumhole?
What happens?
Like, you haven't asked them.
You haven't asked.
You don't want it.
In what situation is that going to happen?
I mean, in the sea.
Swimming bats changing room?
Or in the sea at the beach?
In the sea at the beach.
Talk me through it.
Carl?
You're in the sea.
Your bum holds out.
Right.
Why is your bum all out?
Because it's hot.
All right.
So you've got...
A legitimate one is you're in a swimming bath, right?
That was an illegitimate one.
What?
That was an illegitimate one.
It was a little bit, wasn't it?
I'm naked in the sea and I was walking backwards.
Some children were playing volleyball.
Next thing you know,
I'm speaking to the dad.
You're in the swimming baths,
in the changing rooms.
You're on your own, right?
And you're getting changed
and as you know,
some men,
especially older ones like you,
they let themselves hang loose.
Don't they?
In the swimming baths,
changing rooms,
they have to dick out
and they're just naked.
So imagine this.
You're in the changing rooms. You're completely naked and they're just naked so imagine this you're in the changing rooms
you're completely naked
and you bend over
to tie your shoes
I don't want to get your shoes on
and no clothes
are you
why are you having to go
at all old men
for getting naked
in a changing room
like everyone else
is like no one else
gets naked in changing rooms
I keep me dick
that's a fact
old men
so you get changed
in a changing room
without getting naked
at any point
yeah I put me undies
no I don't get me dick out in a changing room what I don't get me dick out in a changing room without getting naked at any point? Yeah, I put my undies... No, I don't get my dick out in a changing room.
What?
I don't get my dick out in a changing...
I'm not with him.
How do you do that?
I just put my undies on, like, under my towel.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Like a big lass at the beach?
Yeah.
I get it.
Yeah.
It's absolute shit.
I don't want to make everyone in the changing room jealous.
Oh, you're not in a little cubicle.
You're actually in the changing area.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, right.
It'd be fucking weird to do that.
In my head, you're in a cubicle.
I don't know why.
I was like, there's a communal challenge.
Some men get their dick out in the communal bit.
Well, don't point at me.
I get my little Tommy Johnson out in a cubicle.
I'll go in a disabled and be like, this is a disability.
Let me in that fucking cubicle.
I don't need anyone going, hey, what's that?
Like a lifeguard,
like, mate,
are you coming in and out?
What's the vignette, Adam?
Tell us.
So you bend over
to pick up your socks
because you've dropped it on the floor.
Right.
And a kid comes over
who's with their parents
and just fingers you an arsehole
vigorously.
Right?
Right.
Who has assaulted who there?
I mean,
it's the witnesses.
Yeah.
Right.
I honestly, I would love to see the cctv of that how quick is he standing up what because if he's getting vigorously fingered
he wants to stay bent over initially he doesn't realize it's a kid and he's enjoying it
i mean you could you could you could claim shock.
Yeah, then I think the fault is back on the adult, innit?
Once you're like, oh, hello, the fault goes back on the adult.
Like, if you're watching the CCTV and some bloke is like,
oh, I'm just putting on my Velcro shoes.
And then all of a sudden, a kid's like, what is that?
Boom!
Like, you could like
why did that guy not move?
You could be like
just through shock of like
I wasn't expecting this.
Like a dog
when it's biting someone
you put your finger up his ass.
Yeah, I always do that.
You meant to.
Just like that.
I got naked in the sea
in Egypt.
No, but genuinely
what would happen there?
Yeah, you can't move on
from that call.
You're like
yeah, we're done with that.
Yeah, boring that.
You can't be like
next
what would happen
Dan
I
I really
it
I'm not talking
from experience
what happened before
was
someone slightly
misspoke
I tried to tell a story
about Etta reading stories
and then all of a sudden
we're doing finger blanking
so now
for some reason
I am I'm representing all old blokes who weirdly get their arses fingered to reading stories and then all of a sudden we're doing finger blanking. So now, for some reason,
I am,
I'm representing all old blokes
who weirdly get
their arses fingered
in a swimming pool
and I,
order,
do not want to be this guy.
You're,
you're,
Dan,
this has happened to you
at the YMCA
that you're now banned from.
Come on, lad.
Tell the story.
What happened in court, Dan?
I mean,
you keep bringing it up.
Car like, bored of borderless i was in the
sea once paddling let me tell you right i think serious questions need to be asked about how long
you were bent over not that i'm saying that that's not like you know these girls on a night out well
what was she wearing that's not fair is it at the same time for an old bloke if he's got like a bad
back well how long was he bent down that almost suggests that he was asking for it as little timmy comes
up and go oh no yeah and i'd say this kid little timmy let's call him little timmy you know can't
call him a sex offender he's just got a curious digit but i'd say the parents are gonna have to
step in because at some point he's gonna lose that in a pencil sharpener
Or in an old man's arsehole
Again why am I representing all old guys who've been fingered?
Imagine if the old guy just went what's that and then tensed up
Yeah And then tensed up. And the kid was like, I can't get my finger out. That's a Chinese finger slap.
Yeah.
Hang on.
Right, so how about this? I mean, it could be from anywhere.
You're bent over.
Zorro.
You're bent over.
You're there.
Not me.
No, no, no, no, no.
Where's Laura?
Laura's gone.
Laura's there.
No, it's not me.
It's a random old guy.
Laura's in the female changing rooms.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Of course.
Of course. This is where I went wrong changing rooms? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. Of course.
This is where I went wrong before,
because when we've gone swimming,
you all go in,
and then everyone changes in the cubicle,
because apparently the Ellesmere Port swimming baths
have had some really nasty,
timmy, fingering old men incidents,
and gone, enough's enough.
Get them in the family change.
So you're bent over?
No.
No.
Order. Order. Order. Just order. No. No. Just belief. No. No. and gone enough's enough get him in the family change so you're bent over no no order order
no no no i'm not a really good friend of yours is bent over called dan right right yeah just
asking about finger blanking for a friend yeah right so he's bent over kid walks over
riding gets two pumps is anyone else imagining a small Adam as this kid? Yeah.
Because there's not loads of kids going around going,
I see an arsehole
that's getting fucking on.
Hey, sniff that.
What's that?
Thyme.
Thyme.
Bit of fucking zest of lemon.
And an old lad called
fucking Alfred
from the fucking changing rooms.
Get on.
Hey, makes the Cubans even nicer.
Adam, how do you make these posh sandwiches?
Well, the ingredients
Bit of a fucking secret
You know the Colonel at KFC?
He's got fuck all on me
Chlorine and old lads
Kim walks over, gets two pumps
Fuck off, fuck off, right?
To say fuck off, fuck off
Two pumps in a dry arse as well
Oh, but it's not dry Wet as well water is not a lubricant what water is not a okay will he spat on his finger then oh
it's already the worst like it's literally a game of say the worst thing ever in it
right so before before with because then it shows intent doesn't it if the
kid's like you know i'm gonna do but hang on i've been here before he's a repeat offender
fuck off no don't shout if the kid shouts fuck off fuck off then it's all on him he's a deviant
right okay so the kid goes. Not nice. Says not on, just. What?
No, I think the old boy would be like, what?
The fella immediately goes, oh, get off.
Right?
And then the fella's like, who's kid's this?
Yeah.
And you've got to go big with that.
Right?
I think.
If you go, oh, you've got a millisecond.
Yeah.
And then you're in the wrong. So then. You've got to go, hey, you've got a millisecond. Yeah. And then you're in the wrong.
You've got to go, hey, come on.
What the hell?
I really think you've got to go big.
So then, let's say that happens.
Is the kid legally responsible?
Will he be sent to a young offenders institution
for thinking old men's bum holes?
With all the people who do the same sort of thing.
Oh, yeah.
One of those.
There's actually institutions for them. It's state run. Yeah, it the same sort of thing. Oh, yeah. One of those. The choker. Yeah. There's actually institutions for them.
It's state run.
Yeah, it's a really bad thing.
Or would the parent be able to be like,
hang on, mate.
What's happened here, essentially,
is he's a kid.
He's not culpable.
You've put your bum all around his finger.
Yeah.
I think there's got to be some visible moonwalking
By the old boy
Before that blame can be
Like if the kid has gone
Fuck off, fuck off
No one
And then going, nope
Just fucking moonwalking
Which if you know the history of Michael Jackson
Would be apt
Oh, did you ever did?
What?
When he walked while he got fingered?
No.
Yes.
No, I don't know.
Yes.
Were you in the sea once?
No.
Yeah.
How old is the kid?
Eight.
In my head, he's under 10.
Eight.
He's got sketches on.
Right.
He's got sketches.
What?
And he rolls up.
He's got one of those...
He's got those...
He's got heelies on.
The heelies on. And armbands. Maybe. If the if the kids wearing helis then it's almost not his fault then isn't it and
he's gonna run up he was like you know i want to just go over there and he was rolling like oh no
he spat on his finger in the two pump yeah i really feel like adam sort of ruined the
the imagination no as soon as you start going, and then this is what,
if he's doing that,
yeah, it's like,
why am I answering it seriously?
Order.
It's because you ask questions,
I've got to answer them,
I've got to explain the caveats.
So, who do you reckon's going down there?
If it happens,
and you're the old boy,
it's all,
I mean, I'm not saying it's an allegory for all accusations,
but I think you've got to be when you've been accused of
something i need to see i think we all need to see the genuine reaction of like what the fuck
just happened what's this watch this shit hey how dare you as soon as the old man's like
what have you liked it the old man is is the thing. Even if he is incredulous, like that, right?
Then, if it ever happens to him again, he's fucked, isn't he?
Yeah.
Even if it's a coincidence.
Yeah.
No one would believe that you've been fingered by two different children
on two different occasions and it wasn't your fault.
I think that's really solid logic.
If you accidentally get fingered by, what are we talking about?
At a swimming bat. Once.
I mean, you know,
maybe. Maybe it's an accident.
Twice, I think you've been
fingered me once. Shame on you.
Shame on me.
Finger me twice.
How did I get back in the swimming pool?
Finger me twice. I shouldn't have been allowed
back in there. What if the fella loves it?
What if he's like, yeah yeah who's broke the law then
right
but it's just so ridiculous
it's almost like
not worth considering
isn't it
because if an old man
bends over
you say that until it happens
an old man bends over
and a child
is very unlikely
to be like
oh yeah
oh yeah
he might do
he hasn't been in touch
in a while
like the Kool-Aid guy
oh yeah
oh yeah like macho man Randy Savage Elizabeth He hasn't been in touch in a while. Like the Kool-Aid guy. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Macho man Randy Savage.
Elizabeth.
Well, I hope that helps with the...
Did someone ask a question about that?
Oh, no, we got there on our own.
Great.
Did you paint this today?
I just gave it a quick spray of...
Well, I've now got a black hand.
Black paint.
It's a great way of stopping you
playing fucking desk bongos, isn't it?
I traded the black stuff, didn't I? Got a black hand Black paint It's a great way Of stopping you Playing fucking Desk bongos innit I traded the black stuff
Didn't I
Got a black hand
He'd been swimming
Anyway
Are you up to the weekend
After the game
I'm going out
Tomorrow night
What
Yeah
Swimming
Dancing shoes
No I don't think so
We're going out
Into Chester
For a steak and beer
who are you going with
a couple of lads that used to work at the Laugh Inn
Tony and Rummy who both listen to the podcast
mates of Danny Mac
and there's only about 12 people in Chester
so we all know each other
and we're going to go for steak
we tried to go to Hickory's
the steakhouse
it's so good
but we couldn't get in
because they got
booked up ages ago
it's just so popular
but yeah we're going
for steak and beers
and stuff
and I am
pretty excited
Laura
not as excited
is she not going
she's accepted it
but the
phrase she used
I was like
it's alright innit
she went
it is what it is
which I don't think
is a ringing endorsement
of me starting my social life again.
People on Love Island have just been dumped.
It is what it is.
Yeah, so we're going out
and I'm going to try and keep it relatively on the tracks.
I'm a little bit out of practice.
I'm not pub fit.
Like you said, you've been going out loads.
I mean-
So you're not going to be doing coke off your T-bone?
No. I turned you on a bit, that didn't- No. Like you said you've been going out loads So you're not going to be doing coke off your T-bone? No
I turned you on a bit that didn't
No
No
Because you can like steak and you can like cocaine
But to do them at the same time seems like a little bit foolish
Yeah it's not going to be
It's not going to be one of them nights
Genuine question
It's going to be four or five beers maybe
Genuine question
Four or five beers? Six maybe How long do you. It's going to be four or five beers, maybe. Genuine question. Four or five beers?
Six, maybe.
How long do you think you're going to be out for?
I don't know.
I'm saying four or five beers
because I'm doing that thing where I'm like,
I'm not planning to get shitted.
I think two hours, don't worry.
When your wife is like,
oh, I'm all right going out,
and she's like, it is what it is.
I can't come back with my pants around my head.
Four beers is a maximum of two hours
isn't it
yeah
well I might have
more beers then
six beers
I'll keep a check on it
I'll put it in the
WhatsApp group
for the podcast
like Adam I'm up to seven
gold lad down
yeah
and I know
like it's really
and if Laura kicks off
just give her my number
I'll explain to her
and that'll sort it
house should be
really unreasonable
yeah
and then I'm divorced
and then I can live alone.
And that's great.
Do more podcasting.
Got a couch there.
Brilliant to sleep on the couch.
You've got a garden office?
Yeah.
The garden office was built
partially as a defence mechanism
for...
Get out of this house!
I will.
I'll be in the divorce bunker,
innit?
It's the divorce bunker.
People have like
World War II bunkers.
You've got a divorce bunker ready.
Yeah.
It hasn't got a toilet,
but, you know
In times of strife
But you're in the garden
You can piss in the garden
The garden's basically
One big toilet isn't it
Yeah
Great
Let's hope
Yeah
Let's hope that by the time
Jack and your dad
Have finished with it
Yours doesn't look like
A massive car
This is where you shit
This is where you piss
So yeah going out
I feel like very
I feel like
It's two separate things
Isn't it
When you're weeing No I'm wrong it's two separate things, isn't it?
When you're weeing in a... You ever done a poo, don't do it in a wee?
No.
It's impossible.
Yeah?
Yeah.
It's like there's...
I've said this before.
It's like there's two buttons, right?
But the poo one overlaps the wee one.
Yeah.
So if you press the poo button, the wee button comes with it.
You know what I mean?
Because you've got to reach here, so you can just press the wee one.
You can't just,
like,
you can't do that.
Adam studied biology.
Like the flush on the toilet,
like the light flush
and the heavy flush.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
I don't think I've ever used...
Poo is essentially a heavy flush.
I don't think I've ever used
the different settings
on one of those toilets.
Because who wants to light flush
the toilet?
Who wants to just get rid of a bit of the light? Yeah, I don't think the different settings on one of those toilets because who wants to light flush the toilet they want to just get rid
of a bit of the light
yeah I don't think
the light flush is for
you know
it's not for a shit is it
it's just for a little
for a weird
I just press the thing
I just press both of them
like
yeah
yeah so going out
thanks for you
I feel like you've given me
like you even asked about it
a few days ago

Memories.
Steve Harper says,
Hi Alana and Deidre.
Hope you guys are doing well.
Love the pod.
It's boss.
Had an idea for the live shows.
If you rented polygraph machines and then strap used both into one,
you could ask each other horribly personal questions
and the whole crowd would know if it was truth or a lie.
Also, what questions would you like to ask each other
in this scenario where a big crowd of people
would instantly know if it was bullshit or not?
Well, I'm not going to answer the second part of that.
Cheers, Steve.
Because I'm'm gonna save those
questions for when we absolutely definitely are doing this yeah the first thing i uh i just emailed
back today i was like that is wonderful you're gonna do a polygraph on a live show you're gonna
do it as well i'm producing it unfortunately me and finn are busy producing finn can produce that
one we'll get finn to answer them on a second last show.
It's a big question.
What are you worried about?
Because you're asking
me something ridiculous.
Like what?
I don't know.
You're not going to ask me now
because you're not getting
ready for the answer.
But what,
you're involved with the podcast
that in that first section
we spent way too long
talking about an imaginary
eight year old
finger blanking
an old dude
in a swimming bath and now
you're like i would never want certain truths to come out like you're already on a fucking podcast
by animals that wasn't the truth no i know but i mean it's not like you're like a true like an mp
or something you're not like a trusted it issellor. You're already like living the animal lifestyle.
So why would the polygraph be a problem?
Because, okay, it's fine.
That's my first question.
It's going to be when you're hooked up.
I'll get it out to you once.
I'll get it out first.
You grow it.
Not a shower.
I mean, every man's a...
Nobody goes smaller when they grow, do they?
That's a really good point.
No one's a shower, not a grower.
He just walks around with a nine-inch dick.
Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's not,
but it's always nine inches.
I got told years ago...
It doesn't grow, does it?
And this might be speaking wildly out of turn.
I don't think...
When has that ever stopped us?
You'll see why in a minute.
So there was a girl who worked with me in McDonald's.
Let's, this isn't her name, but let's call her Rhiannon, right?
Didn't need a name, but now she's got one.
It's definitely a name as well.
It isn't.
It really isn't.
But now I've just realised I work with someone else in McDonald's
called Rhiannon, if she does listen to this, thing is about to end. So Adam made up her name
and went, oh god I need another name. I'll go for
one of the other girls that works at McDonald's
that'll get round it.
Poor Rhiannon who used to work at McDonald's. Have you
seen that? I'll have a word. So basically
she was dating
two people at the same time
and one of them
was white and one of them was black
right? Nice diversity, good. In the staff room one day at the same time and one of them was white and one of them was black right okay diversity good
in the staff room one day no they weren't in the dance room riannon was really ahead of her time
she people like like mock the week book the panels a bit of diversity uh riannon where are the
uh where are the female partners i'm sorry and we were talking in the in the where are the female partners sorry go
and we were talking
in the
in the green room
the staff room
the staff room
talking in the staff room
and
one of the lads
made a joke
was like
obviously you'll stay
with the black guy
she's got a bigger dick
and she was like
it's not even true
the thing about black guys
having bigger dicks
the thing is
on flop
their dicks are bigger
but then they just get hard and they don't go any
bigger i know a shower and he says it just gets hard it doesn't get any bigger and you know i'm
as well okay doc yeah yeah i'm not sure what to do with that uh i mean i'm a grower it's it's
you are i'm a grower yeah i think everyone here is oh I'm a grower I could have just done
with more growth
yeah
like I go from like
good god
are you alright
is that a medical condition too
oh that's a shame
that's my level of growth
to like
people like
ah
to like
people
like to like
wah

I've seen it once

can we just do the
Ja Rule that I
absolutely deserve
it feels worse that
no one did Kobe
or Ja Rule
I actually felt like
worse that
thank you
thanks for doing Ja Rule
wow if you really
tank a joke
and then everyone's like
that was so bad
it doesn't even
deserve a Ja of real,
you're like, oh, sorry, guys.
Harry Potter, too.
Like a big snake at the end of Harry Potter 2.
My dick is adequate.
That's all a dick needs to be.
Yeah.
If it does a job, that's it.
Yeah.
You're not fucking knocking down walls, would you?
No.
Smashing puss.
Yes.
Love it.
Dan Barnes says,
I had an all-dayer in Liverpool.

And the Spotify description and all that shit.
Have you stuck it in the pod bean as well?
Oh, God.
Ooh, that sounds dirty though.
You're good.
Stick it in the pod bean. That sounds like, God, Finn, you're good. Ooh, that sounds dirty, though. You're good. Stick it in the pod bean.
That sounds like a euphemism.
Are we doing it?
I am, like, yeah, maybe.
It's a maybe, innit?
Why?
If you want to do a polygraph.
We'll get Jeremy Kyle down.
He's not busy now.
No.
What happened to Jeremy Kyle?
Someone killed him.
Someone killed himself after the show,
and they blamed him for orchest orchestrating it to be fair
there was 20 years of him basically bullying poor people on a on a set in manchester wasn't it yeah
i can't believe you fuck three other women from the estate like in the end someone's gonna be
like apparently my mates used to work on jeremy kyle and it was just it was like animal house
the night before because they all stayed in that hotel near granada studios and it was just it was like Animal House the night before because they all stayed
in that hotel
near Granada Studios
and it was all
booting off
because they'd come
at like
if you've never seen
Jeremy Kyle
either because
you're an international
listener or whatever
it was our version of
Jerry Springer
Jerry Springer
but more rough
what?
it was more rough
yeah I think they were
pretty rough on Jerry Springer
no I don't mean rough
as in fighting I mean just like rough air people I think no they were pretty rough on Jerry Springer. No, I don't mean rough as in fighting, I mean just like rough air people, I think.
No, but they were rough on Jerry Springer, weren't they?
Jerry Springer?
They were just American rough.
Yeah.
There was a lot like,
She fucked him and I never said, not my baby.
You know, from Stockton. Stockton on T's.
Can you expand on that story?
She fucked him and that's not my baby.
Is that his baby? Have him and that's not my baby.
Is that his baby?
Have you put that over there?
She fucked him and that's not my baby.
I'm not saying that's his baby.
I'm just saying
that's not my baby.
That's a woman's voice as well.
Hey, I don't ever assume gender.
You don't see gender?
I remember distinctly
we were watching Harry Potter 2.
The puttering and um you know he's not my baby they were rough on jerry springer weren't they yeah they were i suppose so we just that's our version of rough yeah but it was apparently it
was just fights and like people getting fucking hammered at the hotel bar and then they'd all
turn up hungover so what you were watching a lot on
jeremy kyle was all those people going you fucking i can't believe you and you were doing this with
her while they were hungover so it was extra eggy i just always sort of thought with that i didn't
say about jeremy kyle when i first asked that was as a lot of people did um i never understood how you end up on that show like if I had shagged someone
behind me Mrs Barrow
and she was like right
I don't believe you
we're going on Jeremy Kyle
there's nothing that could be offered to me
to convince me to do that
I don't think they paid
I mean
I'm not 100%
but I'm pretty sure
they didn't pay
they just got
the travel expenses
to Manchester
and a hotel
for a couple of nights
it's not the people
you're just making a twat
out of yourself on the telly
but it's like the people
who send have a words in
you can almost understand
if people are into this podcast
and they go
ah something's going on
and these lads love a bit of this
so I'm going to ask them
to fuck around and talk about it.
It's not a paternity test.
But it's the same thing
with Jeremy Kyle.
If you're sat there going,
oh my God,
I think I've been wronged
or he's been cheating on me.
I watch Jeremy Kyle.
I'd like to fucking
fuck him over on TV.
No, I get that.
Why would the guy then be like,
all right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you're going on,
I'm going to go on.
I get why the person going,
you fucked me over
wants to go on.
100% attention and resolution the person who knows they've fucked up why are they going all right dying with the lie isn't it it's like yeah i'm not lying of course i'll go on i'm sure
there was a load of applications where the guy was like nah i'm all right thanks yeah but yeah
you've got to be a certain level of daft to do it there was a great episode once
it was so rough
they cheated on each other
and the kid was and is
like they both did lie detectors
they both cheated
and the kid was and is
because they did
the thing
and it was just
beautiful
they did a DNA test
yeah
so he
she
she'd like been accused of cheating by him
and to get here to go on she'd gone well i think she's on me you do one and he's gone i will and
we're doing a percentage test as well and they went on she did the lie detector and it was like
yeah she's been shagging everything and he was like you fucking horrible disgusting bitch and
then he's come out and it was like yeah he's been jagged
and she was like you hypocritical twats you've had to go at me for this this and this you've
been doing everything i can't believe you and then they did the dna test and it wasn't his
and he just walked off it was oh beautiful television yeah that kid's doing fine i'm sure
that kid's doing fine no one worry about that beautiful television as a child like
the kids not on the show is it no the kids aren't there are they yeah i can't i've watched jeremy
carl a few times but you know the kid opened the envelope see if it's your dad we've got three
guests no fuck you she's not even your mum so now that happened okay now how much do you like
white light i do think sometimes, you know, like when,
like I wonder if she knew who the dad was after that.
Because I know a girl who,
she was a promiscuous lady and she-
Just pick a name.
Rhiannon.
Rhiannon.
No, Rhianna.
It's different.
She's quite open about the fact That she
Loves the cock
She's a shagger
Yeah
And she
Nothing wrong with it
Nope
She got shagged by four lads in one night
Oh
I mean just logistically
That's difficult
Yeah
And got pregnant
Oh wow
And had the baby
And she was just like
I don't care who's it is
It's just my baby
And she's still
bringing that kid up now
okay
she just didn't want to
she's got no idea
who the dad of that is
did you all look the same
all the lads
there wasn't like
yeah four identical
quadruplets
wasn't like her
I mean was she definitely
sure it was that night
can you
I mean
I don't know
you know because if you
bang it
so if you get pregnant
and you're
and you're definite
it's that night
you probably could assume that you haven't had sex
for a couple of weeks before or a couple of weeks after.
If you're shagging four people in a night,
you've probably been up to something the week before
and the week after, haven't you?
It's not like I, honestly, I like to have a quiet month.
A lot of people think, you know, do four separate Saturday nights.
I just like, you know know like comedians sometimes do
triples yeah payday yeah she shags
she shags like london comics do quadruples
she's got an agent um wow i knew he was number four that night yeah i don't know i do i mean we i'd love
to genuinely have the story of how how you how you sort of make it work because it's not like
right okay we're gonna schedule it quarter past six terry you're coming round you've got like a
restaurant with covid you've only got an hour and a half and then we have got the table booked at eight and then fucking who's next steve teddy jacko jacko yeah and last mubarak but it'd be obvious if it was his
why you're just assuming his race based on his name steve's asian Steve's Asian mate how did you not know that couldn't have heard it
from the
that's
Steve
from Rajasthan
Rajasthan
just picked an area
of India
just felt safer
than saying
Pakistan
is there any more
questions
more questions
Will says
hi Lyds
I'm a musician
from Ireland
and I just wanted to ask you a few questions to
see what you say question one what he's doing vance he's literally he's written what what is
your opinion on ed sheeran what's your opinion opinion of ed sheeran hardly gets mentioned
doesn't he the little ginger whiz kid have you Have you seen... What?
I wasn't ready for
the little gingerwizkid.
Gingerwizkid?
Yeah.
I just wasn't ready for him.
Have you seen his house?
We were talking about this
on the way to the...
I've been around for a while,
haven't we?
On Monday.
No, last week.
Last Saturday.
Ed Sheeran's house.
I just think he's largely
inoffensive.
He's probably dead sound,
but...
He knows how to make money
and how to make successful music,
but I don't like him.
Laura's really into Ed Sheeran,
and it's sort of done...
I've done that thing of, like,
I've never been bothered.
I've been aware of him.
I thought the A-Team was great
when I first heard it.
And then there's been some tunes
over the years that you go,
no, that's all right.
It's a good pop song.
But then because Laura's into it,
I've ended up listening to it a lot more.
He's, yeah.
Go on. What's happened no i i don't think you had something to say but you wanted the premise
what where were you you said you listened to the a team and in my head i went that was a tv show
oh it'd be funny if i said on the wireless was that on the wireless but then you'd need the
context so i just decided i was just going to enjoy it to myself instead I said on the wireless was that on the wireless but then you'd need the context so I just
decided I was just gonna
enjoy it to myself
instead of
put on the episode
and then I laughed at it
and Carl
I saw the cogs working
sometimes it
it gobsmacks me
that we're having
the success we're having
like I know
some of it
there's some moments
where I'm like
that really made me laugh
and the other times
I'm like
the A-Team is the name
of a TV show and the other times are like the a team is the name of a tv show and the a team is the song but what I could do is and then the fact that you
checked yourself and went no I'm not gonna do that because I don't know and then you were like
good and then carl was like last last shut up something's going on
he's made fucking millions.
How do you feel about him?
Can you give Finn the mic?
Because you're a musician, Finn.
Is he someone you look up to?
I really like the first two albums.
He's just done amazing for himself
and it's just him, isn't it?
We were talking about this.
It's just him.
So the amount of money he's making on a tour is insane.
He's got no brand.
He just turns up with his loop pedal and can play a fucking stadium he's i'd be more likely to go and see him if he
was like one of those one man bands and it was edgy but he's got like a drum and a harmonica
what like dick van dyke at the start of mary poppins. She's in the class A team. What is that arm doing?
No, no.
What is that arm doing?
That's the triangle.
That's the least efficient one man band ever.
That's half a bagpipe.
And they're the lyrics.
No, that's him playing the arm.
I haven't got one, so I need to. That's half a bagpipe. And they're the lyrics. No, that's him playing the armlock,
but I haven't got one, so I need to... Adam's got a loose image of what a one-man band guy looks like.
I think it's a while since he's watched Mary Poppins.
And then just...
He's got a triangle up here.
Ding, ding.
And then...
Why does the triangle have to be up here? Ding ding. Bop, bop, bop. And then. Up, dup, dup, dup, bop.
Why does the triangle have to be up here? Where else are you gonna put it?
Down here.
Why?
Don't explain what man-man's to him.
Where you gonna put a triangle?
You've gotta sellotape it to a stick from your head.
There's no other place for the triangle.
You could just sellotape a bit of metal to your dick
and just bang it
I would love to see
Adam play one man band
how clever is that though
that's like
that's comedian smart
just not having a band
that's like
that's exactly why
I always think
being in a band
must be fucking murder
because you've got to do rehearsals and then pay everyone.
The best thing about being a comic is just turning up being like...
We're in a band though, aren't we?
Yeah.
I suppose so.
Band of brothers.
This is my guitar.
But we just come to one place where all the stuff is.
Yeah.
And you play it like a guitar we uh we just cut
it's not different from being a touring musician and being a touring comic yeah wherever like
there's five nights where you're going to different places that's exactly why i love being a comic you
just turn up and like i love when they're like have you got any tech requirements a microphone
and i'll be all right i i don't think i'd do as many gigs if I had to take my speakers with me.
Do you know what I mean?
Like the shit gigs?
Yeah.
So in comedy,
there's a lot of gigs where
part of the,
it's the most depressing thing.
You're like,
right, we are looking for an opener
and a headliner
and also a compa, host,
who's getting paid one third
the opening acts fee,
but you've got to bring your old PA and mic.
And you're like, oh, God.
Oh, God.
You'd surely play the saxophone as well, wouldn't you, Adam?
What?
You'd surely play the self-saxophone.
I'd play the saxophone if I was a woman as well, yeah.
So no harmonica, actually.
So it's just... You say you're not into Ed Sheeran.
I think it was out of his third album.
That's Ed Sheeran. About drugs this About prostitution
Triangle
Saxophone
Bagpipe
Me dick
I play me dick
This would have been bigger
Operation this would have been bigger operation so Ed Sheeran
yeah
covered
yeah I like him
yeah
right I'm trying to find a question
that is silly
is matching the silliness
of the general mood
sometimes with the questions
I think oh it'd be nice
to be offset some of the bullshit
with an actual question.
And then there's times where you can just judge the room
when it's going to be like...
It's absolutely pointless.
The Goat writes in,
Hi lads, not sure if you heard,
but the viral Charlie bit my finger video
has been taken off YouTube to be sold privately
as an NFT, like selling a painting or a piece of artwork
such as an unmade bed to a private owner.
Two questions.
If you could own...
Well, let's park the fucking trans-a-van for a second.
You can't sell.
Oh, so I saw the perfect description of what an NFT is.
A non-fungible token.
Someone did a Monaan and Lisa analogy
of it. Right.
No, but
here's my point. You can figure that out
for a sec. Here's my point, Dan.
The unmade bed. We all know.
If you're a long-time listener, you'll know.
Tracey Emin's art piece.
The unmade bed.
I've got a bit of beef with it. I think she was lazy
twice. Couldn't be asked doing a painting. So she was like, I'll just give them that. Deal with my bed. I've got a bit of beef with her. I think she was lazy twice. Couldn't be arsed doing a painting.
So she was like, I'll just give them that.
That's my opinion.
I understand that some people think that's reductive.
I disagree.
I mean, it is definitely reductive.
That's not the subjective bit.
Some people think that is reductive.
I don't.
I think it's fucking smart.
I think she's a grubby bitch.
She should have tidied the bedroom instead of picking it all up, taking think it's fucking smart. I think she's a grubby bitch. She should have tidied the bedroom
instead of picking it all up,
taking it to a fucking museum.
But here's my point, right?
Oh, God.
I know.
I said the wrong word.
Hand on heart.
I can understand.
Like, being totally serious,
I can understand why people are going,
serious?
Are we serious now? Serious. Right? So, as much as I can understand why people are going, Serious? Are we serious now?
Serious, right?
Right.
So, as much as I think it's bollocks, that R piece, right?
I can smell your fingers.
Right?
Time.
Got time on me hands.
You've been swimming.
Right?
It's a thing.
It's a thing.
It's me thing, right?
He's making a point, guys.
I think the bed thing is bollocks, but...
But?
I get what you're all about where you're like it's a comment
on the world
because she's done this
right it's a comment on depression
I said that but I know what you mean
you get what I mean
but selling that to a private
collector is bollocks
because him making
or making his bed he could just do that himself
and it's no worse because she hasn't painted it oh my god no no no no you're always on about
painting no it's more of a sculpture than a painting okay oh isn't just painting okay
fucking crayola obsessed mother okay okay right let's take your point then. It's more like a sculpture, right?
If you hire a sculptor,
it's because they're good.
Shut up a minute.
It's because they're good at sculpting.
So you can't sculpt yourself as good as that
because there's a skill to it.
There's no skill to not making your bed.
So he could just not make his bed
and it makes the same point about depression
as Ayers did. Yeah, no, but Ayers won the Turner Prize. Oh my God. Are we actually going to do Tracy Emin's bed so he could just not make his bed and it makes the same point of depression as his did yeah no
but his won the turner prize oh my god are we actually gonna do tracy emmons bed when we're
talking about nfts how are we how are you got you you brought it up no no you did what you said like
tracy emmons bed no he brought it up he brought it up and i read it that's still you bringing it up fuck fuck you Harry Robinson
Dan Johnson's
the goat again
erm
I really wish
I'd not read that bit
because
Adam cannot get past
Tracey Emin's bed
he hates it
and it doesn't
matter what you think
and it doesn't matter
what I think
it's like
just cause you go
shite
fucking
I've got a fucking shitty bedroom am i an artist
no but we've got past that that's not what i'm saying if you get given a space in an art gallery
to do something it's not about being amazing with like sculpting or painting it's about going this
is a space i want people to come into this space and i will make them think feel things by just
observing whatever i've done all sorts of conceptual art has been done over the years I want people to come into this space and I will make them think feel things by just observing
whatever I've done all sorts of conceptual art has been done over the years it's everything it's not
just sculpturing painting and that's what she chose to do you're not arsed loads of people were
it was of its time yeah people slagged it off fine right yeah but how how does that relate to
NFTs because please we cannot talk about you going it's just a fucking bed no i'm not saying
that anymore am i i've come halfway over to your side and said i get that the point she's trying to
make but once she's made that point some daft twat gone i'll buy that eight million quid yeah
there's no need to do that because if he takes it out of the art gallery it might as well just be
his bed right that's right i see what you're saying if someone buys it and then takes it out of the art gallery. It might as well just be his bed. Right. That's, right.
I see what you're saying.
If someone buys it
and then takes it home,
yeah,
where are you?
If it's a sculpt,
where are you putting it?
Sculpture.
Sculpture.
Or a painting.
Then,
I understand that.
Or a painting.
Because that's the painting
and the skill to it
as well as,
as well as whatever
it's trying to say.
Do you know,
the Tracy Ammons bed is not in a rich guy's hallway?
It's not like, you must come through.
We're having drinks in the parlor.
First of all, have you seen this lovely piece?
I'm sorry, Brian.
It looks like a really untidy bedroom here.
Actually, it's a very clever art piece.
It's in an art gallery, isn't it?
Like, it's in its own.
You also know that Peyton's aren't NFTs.
Mona Lisa?
No, no, no. The Mona Lisa was used as an analogy. So it's like someone going, do you't NFTs. Mona Lisa? No, no, no.
The Mona Lisa was used as an analogy.
So it's like someone going,
do you want to buy the Mona Lisa?
Yeah.
100 million, please.
Can I take it home?
No, no, you don't own it.
You own the receipt to it.
So you can tell people it's yours,
but you can't actually have it.
That's essentially what an NFT is.
Right, okay.
I get it now.
So it's because the internet
and all the stuff that's been going on there,
you can basically clip out these memes or even GIFs or short videos.
And what they're saying is, and people are selling them, aren't they?
Like Tim Dillon just sold an NFT, which I think was a clip from his podcast.
And he was in his head, he was going to raise millions from it.
I think he made 80 grand from doing an nft so
what we could do is obviously it's about how much people are willing to buy it's not like
you can't just be like adam's gonna knock out five nfts today but we could clip out you doing
the one man band and being like that's going to be our new we're going to sell that as an nft
so it's almost like a collector's item it would still be in the episode
wouldn't it like you don't have to pull it from the internet like the mona lisa would still exist
in the gallery but you'd own it but you can't have it but it's yours but the but what harry said is
like oh charlie bit my fingers like it's off youtube exactly they're ridiculous but nfts don't
disappear like no it's been taken off just while it's getting sold just for whatever it'll go back
up yeah because the owner the person whose channel it is still owns it.
So that's my thing about NFTs.
And I would love someone to explain like Bitcoin to me
because I don't understand what Bitcoin is.
Bitcoin's machine money.
Yeah.
It's like money in there.
It's decentralized.
So it's not controlled by any banks or nations.
Right.
Absolutely fine.
I don't know how they mine for it.
I don't understand that.
Anyway, but how, if you've got an,
say we do that thing of like,
Adam doing the fucking triangle
and then be like, we clip that out
and that's an NFT.
Just, what does the person who spends,
say we sell that for 10 grand,
that person owns that NFT,
what does that gain the person
that's buying a non-fungible token?
The kudos of like,
I've brought Adam being a one-man band.
Yeah, but like,
have you seen Charlie with my finger?
Yeah, I own that video.
Right.
Like, that's it.
You don't get any monetization from it.
You're just like, yeah, I own that.
Yeah.
Or like the Doge meme.
I own that, that's mine.
It's basically just rich people
just finding something else
to fucking spend their money on.
It makes me want to join Al-Qaeda.
That's how annoying it is i like i think you're buying the receipts of the west you're buying the receipts or something but you don't
own the thing i want to join al-qaeda just after he gets no but i mean is that blockbusters does
that not make you feel like what is how far have we come in terms of like civilization that we're
like yeah you know that clip that people can still see and is still part of another thing yeah you now own that and we've called it an nft like what kind of like how is
that something that and maybe it's because i'm not super wealthy but i just like i'd be like yeah
it's fine just leave it on youtube and watch it bragging isn't it right what's the question
what do you think about nfts uh no we didn't get to the question two questions if you
could own any form of media privately to stop anyone else from seeing it what would it be
so you can't stop people seeing and if you could privatize a highlight from have a word episode
to sell as an mft to a rich fella what clip would you sell for that for most money robot wars because
the one that could get us in the most trouble right um. But then they then
control it.
Yeah.
They can put it
where they want then.
Yeah.
Yeah, so you own
the digital ledger
called a blockchain
that certifies
the digital asset
to be unique.
So you own
the digital certificate
to something,
essentially.
Yeah, like you say
in the receipt.
Yeah.
You don't own it.
You don't hide it. I can you can't you don't hide it
i can't get me a drowder it's it's it's insane but it i mean there's two things validly we are
knocking out sort of the sort of stuff that gets made into nfts i would like to own um jar real
that jar real moment when you got annoyed because you're like wasn't that fucking bad
now i see him from the office I love the office
so I'd like to buy
a scene from the office
right
American or
the UK office
yeah okay
I'd like to buy the scene
from Two Pints Lager
in a park
where Gaz tries to adopt a kid
I reckon you're good
for about 20 quid
I think someone might
sell you that pretty easily
if you rang up the producers
they'd be like
yeah no one's bothered
you can have it for
I I think it's crazy can we just make ourselves a little promise that if this podcast does
incredibly well we're not sat here one day he's going lad gotta see me new nft it's fucking
amazing it's shit hot i would like you could buy tracy emmons bed but i'll have to not have any access to it could i buy a bed and make it
and that'd be another statement that'd be a statement yeah the world's changing
anyone can anyone can get over adversity just make your bed step one why don't we just do this
anyway we don't even need a bed buy tracy emmons bed in an art gallery and just use it instead of
a hotel
when you're in London
gigging
yes
yeah
as long as you stay in it
three times
you're probably making money
London hotel prices
I tell you what
none of us know

and this month
the ghost hunt
ghost hunt
and next month
another lock-in
and also
there's a video
it's quite hard to find this one where we caught Finnn shagging that couch yeah and that's an nft i think is that
it should just call it an editor finn fucked to what the couch you on laughing gas after you
fucked your arm should be an nft yeah genuinely that could be an nft yeah because it's not public
because it's behind the paywall anyway so it's not widely known yeah someone could own the URL to that
and privatise and keep it
it's not that funny though
but hotel prices in London
expensive
anyway
Janet
who is not a prostitute from real
patreon.com
patreon.com
slash have a word pod
do you know for sure
yeah
how do you know
because I know which Janet is
oh okay
she's a long time listener of the
podcast didn't write a follower on instagram and you know she hasn't moved very recently and got
into a new career well if she has moved to real to become a sex worker she's kept it off her
instagram she you probably would though wouldn't you yeah they're moving to real bit more than
so by that rationale everyone on instagram could be a prostitute in real.
Right?
How'd you know they're not?
NFT.
Hotel.
Finger blank.
I've lost my mind.
Janet says,
Hi, I'm a bit tipsy at a comedy club in London.
Not the hot water.
Not hot water as that was fully booked.
No prizes for guessing which one.
Was an okay night.
Nigel was boss.
What is your thoughts on him?
Heard a few...
London?
No.
In Liverpool.
Oh.
I thought you said London.
You did say London.
What it says, Liverpool.
Oh, sorry.
Did you write it wrong?
See you now.
Just cut that out.
Yeah, you can cut that out.
I'll give you a clean cut.
Fuck you, Finn!
I'm not cutting it out.
That was the joke.
I knew he wasn't cutting it out.
I was doing another joke.
I didn't like your joke.
You sound like Tommy Cooper when you do that.
You look like Tommy Cooper.
I don't think we should do this question can we just fuck this question by the way the next section with sean is
one of the best yeah but we've not finished this section so it looks like listen this one's gone
in the ground this one's gone in the ground it honestly looks like i've
just read a question from janet just to say she might be a sex worker in real
i'm a bit tipsy in a comedy club in london liverpool london and then we've not we've got to
it's going to be a great section the next one one, isn't it? It is. It was filmed in the past. It was filmed in the past.
We know it's amazing.
Again.
Just that.
Yeah.
Fucking spanner.
This section is done.
It's cooked.
No, one more.
Come on.
This cut.
The length of this section smells worse than Adam's fingers.
It is fucking...
What's the question?
You've got to ask the question.
No, I don't.
I'll ask the question then.
All right, cool.
Is it from Janet, from real?
Let me just find one.
I'd love to bang this off.
That would be really, really not fair.
Not fair, why?
Because you've done all this prep?
This is Adam's prep.
Would you rather fuck a pig
or not fuck a pig?
It's literally the made-up question
that I did on the Patreon episode on Monday.
It's good.
It's good, the second half with Sean, isn't it?
It's really good.
It's really good. The second half with Sean innit it's really good it's really good
the second half with Sean
is worth sitting through
the last 40 minutes
that he's had through
40?
it's been gone 40 minutes
do you think that was not good?
I just thought
the last 6 minutes
were a bit mental
yeah
oh yeah yeah
so this bit with Sean
we filmed 2 weeks ago
when Sean was here
and he's not here now
so we couldn't do it now
so we did it then
we have to do that because if the like Sean's an amazing comedian he was up gigging so we just took
the opportunity to get him in we've recorded the first section today in that time we've had a
little update of the lighting so if things look a little different as in Adam is wearing different
clothes I am slightly fatter it's because the second section was recorded two weeks ago
it's one of my
favourite guest sections
we've ever done
and that's me
saying that
I loved it
if the lightings
are slightly bit different
it's just because
we've had an update
of the lighting
enjoy it
but there's money
comes first
obviously
because that's what we do
what's happening guys
ooh
look at your outfit
shocking
you look horrible in that.
That's a shitty shirt, jumper, dress, thing, whatever that is you've got on. What you need,
lad, is a fucking T-shirt or a hoodie from haveawaredpod.com. You want some official
haveawared merch? Go to haveawaredpod.com and get some then, instead of wearing that fucking
shite you've got on. It's horrible. You look a joke. Don't be leaving the house like that.
You want a hoodie that says rat? That's what you need go and get it halfwaypod.com does this show get in trouble
how often does this show get in trouble surprisingly once over the past year and a half
oh that's not too bad we've had a few whinges yeah yeah but nothing like you know we're gonna
fucking end you we've had one of them yeah we've had one we'll we will end your career but um i've had one of those as well i wouldn't know
what you're talking about welcome sean walsh to have a word uh you mentioned before we started
there that we should get paul chow john and i asked do you know the comedy store story which
we told
this ages ago and the comic it's about has to take it out because we named them so we're not
going to do that but so paul challenges now for adam to tell this story without naming that comic
it's going to be like and will and will everyone else that knows the comic know who you're talking
about no that's not important okay no right fine so right So Chowdhury was on at the store, right?
Yeah.
And he's doubling and trebling with every other club in London doing 10 gigs.
Right.
So the compere of the comedy store for that night is talking to the open spot,
who happens to be another Asian comic.
So this is before Chowdhury is going on.
Little does he know, Chowdhury's at the back of the gig, right?
So the compere goes,
most important thing at the comedy store
is your opening line.
You've got to nail your opening line.
To do that,
you'll get them,
you'll have Don on side,
you'll be in at the store.
And then this open spot
did his first head of shit in himself.
So the compere goes to him,
you should go on
and say,
what's happening white people?
Right?
Which has been Paul Chowdhury's opener
since 1973.
And it's a funny fucking...
What's happening, white people?
And a lot of white people go...
What's happening, white people?
Levels the place
as one of the best open spots
the store's seen in 15, 20 years.
And he comes back into the green room to be like,
I've nailed it.
And he's just greasing with Paul Chowdery going,
the fuck are you doing?
That's my line.
And the compere just comes and fucking snakes out the room.
Just left.
Just hand grenade and fucked off.
Never trust a cunt comic.
Oh, you knew I...
That's one of my favourite stories.
How are you?
I'm good.
Yeah?
Nice trip.
Sorry that you've got Finn's cup.
That's fine.
You washed it?
Yeah.
You washed it?
It's fine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Properly.
We always wash stuff, yeah.
Is this one of your first trips out of the smoke? Post, you know, Rona? Yes. Yeah. Have we? Yeah. Probably. We always watch stuff, yeah. Is this one of your first trips out of the smoke?
Post, you know, Rona.
Yes.
Yeah.
Masks on train.
Jumpers for goalposts.
That was one bit.
You know, and the carriage.
Because I upgraded.
Sure. Yeah. Hey. carriage because i i i i i upgraded yeah hey but on on the right side of the carriage it's single
file and on the left side of the carriage is the table in first class and well actually it was no
what's there's a new there's a new one now which is premium there's one in between yeah there's
one in between there's a business class on trains?
which is like
it's first class
but without the trolley
so you don't get the food
you just get the space
they might as well call that
they might as well call that
scum treating themselves
yes
perfect
first there's 189
don't worry about it
it's our fucking honeymoon
to London
can't go abroad
you know what's really funny?
You sort of checked yourself then when you told us that you'd upgraded,
which is such a comic thing to do.
Comics can never be seen to be living an affluent life.
Like, I remember I mentioned on this thing a couple of weeks ago,
and on stage, that I've got a cleaner who comes every two weeks
because I'm a messy cunt,
and she comes and just makes the house not messy
it takes about two weeks
for me to destroy it again
and then she fixes it again
and I mention it on stage
I just felt the whole audience
go
what
the fuck
I know
you've got to be
doing alright
but it is embarrassing
like I
but it was
I mean it was
it was 25
pounds
yeah
you alright
yeah is that alright
alright
I had work to do
okay
we are
the southerner in the north
I'm not a Tory
I'm not a Tory
I just wanted
slightly more leg room
it was only 25 pounds
yeah well
actually
do you know what happened
no I did go into
no no no
I went into
the standard class
yeah carriage and i went to sit
down but they hadn't you know there's the electric signs that let you know if this the seating is
available or not yeah they weren't working so i went to sit down but then it turned out i was in
someone else's seat and if you know me at all you know that i i cannot handle that this sort of
awkwardness that i go into full panic mode
and i just thought i can't handle this i'm gonna pay the 25 pounds and go and sit in the
the premium bit so i did try which is your social anxiety not like i just had to talk to a poor
person quickly take my money no no absolutely so Social anxiety, not, not had to talk to a,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Absolutely.
Were you actually in someone else's seat?
Yes.
Definitely.
I once, was it,
I've once sat in Nicolas Cage's seat by mistake.
I almost did that.
Wow.
So, I mean.
Is that the end of this?
Are you going to, Are you going to elaborate or
Well I
Again
I'm mentioning
Hang on
Was this on a train
From London to Roncon
Yes
Yeah yeah
He's desperate to do this
He's waiting outside
He's just constantly on the train
Was it like the Con Air scene
Where I wish you'd put the bunny in the box
Because that's how it feels like it is in my head.
Please let it be that.
No, no, I just, I got on the plane
and I thought I'm going to sit in the first class seat
and I'm going to check how much it is to upgrade.
And then it turned out I was sitting in Nicolas Cage's seat.
So I just went and sat in my seat in Standard.
Train or plane?
Plane.
Plane.
Plane.
Right.
What's happening now?
Have I done something wrong again?
I don't know if that's how planes work.
I'm going to sit here, and then someone's going to come round and go,
tickets, please.
Can I do an upgrade?
I know.
No, I know.
I know.
I just thought I would check.
I'll try. I'll sit I just thought I would check.
I thought I'd try.
I'll sit here.
I was Nicolas Cage.
I'm going to go and sit in my seat at the back.
The fucking captain's going to get his machine out.
Well, I'm going to fucking cuss you a little bit more then.
Just sat next to the pilot.
Is it all right?
Is anyone sitting here?
You don't mind if I... Can I upgrade to co-pilot, please?
How much is the co-pilot?
Can I sit in the front?
If I call a bus. How much is it to drive the plane? How much is the co-pilot? Can I sit in the front? Like on a bus.
How much is it to drive the plane?
How much?
I'll pay whatever it takes.
Where was that going to?
Where were you going to with Nicolas Cage?
I was going home.
I was going home from America somewhere.
Right.
What's the other thing?
No.
Was there another thing?
There wasn't another thing.
I keep getting confused.
I don't know,
maybe it's lockdown,
but I keep having thoughts,
which we normally have as human beings.
And then I'm mistaking thoughts
with something I was going to say.
So I wasn't actually going to say anything.
We do that.
I was just thinking.
All the time.
And the time,
you know,
it's a worry when Adam's looking at me going,
dude,
these are on. I'm like, oh yeah. Yes. Shit. Yes. And the time, you know, it's a worry when Adam's looking at me going, dude, these are on.
I'm like, oh, yeah.
Yes.
Shit.
Yeah.
Yes.
So what did Nicolas Cage say to you?
Because if Nicolas Cage went to me, you're in my seat.
I think what I'd say is, you're Nicolas Cage.
Yeah.
That doesn't change anything, sir.
No, I instigated the dialogue because he did the thing,
you know where you look at your seat and there's someone in it,
so you look at the number and you look at the ticket.
And he did that and I think I'm probably in your seat.
Nicholas.
Sorry.
He's like, it's all right. And I got up.
I go, what was I thinking?
Just sat in the first car.
I don't know.
He who dares, he who dares.
I once bumped into Princess Diana.
Okay, there we go.
I'm calling the bullshit bell.
I don't believe you.
No, no, no, no.
When I was a child. Right. Checks out. Obviously. Last week. I don't believe you. No, no, no, no. When I was a child. Right.
Checks out.
Obviously.
Last week.
I was on a plane.
Just recently.
I was in an airport.
Right.
And all my stories are transport based, by the way.
They don't take place outside train stations or transport.
You're a comic.
All we do is travel and talk.
Yes, I suppose.
I was a child and me and my brother were playing It.
And I think my brother...
It.
Oh, do you call it something else up there?
Tick, we say, don't we?
Tick.
Tick.
I should say Tick.
Tick.
Tick where I'm from.
Oh, yeah.
That game has really travelled, hasn't it?
In Preston, it's Tick.
You go about 25 miles to Liverpool, it's Tick.
And by the time you get to Brighton, it's it.
You're it.
Tag or tag, yeah.
In Northwell.
Off-ground tick as well.
But if you're off-ground, you can't be ticked.
What?
Off-ground tick?
How does that work?
You climb up a tree?
Yeah.
You climb up a tree, then you can come and slap me,
but it doesn't count.
Or on a car.
Scarecrow tick.
What's that?
You stand there with your legs open, and you can be released by one of the other players who's not been ticked but it doesn't count. Or on a car. Scarecrow tig. What's that? You stand there with your legs open
and you can be released by one of the other players
who's not been tigged.
That doesn't make any sense.
A scarecrow's legs are shut.
Stuck in the mud.
A scarecrow's legs are shut.
Can't tig your butcher.
What?
Can't tig your butcher.
What's happening?
If you can't tig your butcher,
these are official rules, West Lancashire rules.
Why was the butcher playing tig with you? The butcher is the person who's just got you. You can't then get them, these are official rules, West Lancashire rules. Why was the butcher playing tick with you?
The butcher is the person who's just got you.
Yeah.
You can't then get them back.
Oh, no tick backs.
Oh.
So it's a no tick backs.
Yeah.
Why?
Mine made me sound 98.
Can't take your butcher.
We'd say touch black, no backs,
wouldn't we or something?
Touch black, no backs.
Touch black, no backs.
Yeah, if you have a black T-shirt on,
you get away with it.
Oh, cool.
I can't believe I said I bumped into Princess Diana.
We're talking about Tuggy Butcher.
Sorry, sorry.
Sean.
I bumped into the Queen of Hearts or whatever.
And you're going, Tuggy Butcher.
I can't take it.
I can't take it.
Sorry.
The Princess Lady D.
Lady D.
Yes.
Back in the news.
So this is topical.
Yeah. Yes, back in the news. So this is topical. Yeah?
As if you ever need to qualify a lady in Princess Diana's story.
Fucking hell, Sean.
I've been waiting years to tell the story of Bumble into Princess Diana.
I'm actually the guy that leaked the Bashir documents.
Hasn't written new stuff in fucking months.
I'm going to have to get that Princess Di story out somehow.
Here we go.
Five months bumped into princess.
Right, okay.
It's hard to bump into a princess.
Yes, you would think.
But not if you're a child playing It in Gatwick Airport.
And I don't know what your, this is true.
And why would I make this would be?
No, I do.
I do believe you, but it's just so mental.
I know.
And my brother just was chasing me
and there weren't many, I think there were two guards.
Harry and William were there and they didn't do anything.
They didn't join in.
No, didn't join in. And't join in and i ran into her
and it was and it was absolutely fine and everyone was sort of laughing i think she
she laughed got my first laugh actually off princess
that was when i knew that was when i knew this is what i have to do how old were you roughly
oh it's 10 so did you know? Fucking hell
That's Princess Diana
When are we talking
Like mid 90s?
Yes
Absolutely
Yeah
Why what are you
No I just
Do you remember
How she smelt?
What?
What's wrong with you?
That's mad that love
If I was a ten year old
I'd sniff Princess Diana
Well
Would you?
No one's ever said that.
I mean, your first thought.
I don't know.
Let's get a whiff of this for a podcast in 20 years time.
Do you remember as really tall?
I remember her as wearing white.
Right.
What was I meant to say there?
I don't know.
Look, I've told, to be honest with you,
I've given you All the details
I can remember
Like I was 10
It was a long time ago
Did you know
It was Princess Diana
I've told you all the people
That were there
Did I
No
Well no
There was
You know it was like
Sean get hit
My mum calling me away
Laughing
You know what
What have I told you
About running into
Princess Diana
Exactly
For the last time
Yeah
So that yeah
So that's it That's. So that's it.
That's all I, that's, that's it.
That's all I remember.
I'm sorry.
Have you got any other celebrity stories
or is it just Nicolas Cage and Princess Diana
are the most unlikely couple?
I once asked Andrew Garfield for a selfie
and he said no.
How did he smell um he yeah he walked past on wardour street and i got my phone ready and um and i got it ready because i didn't want to hassle him and uh it wasn't it wasn't
particularly busy and i went up i said sorry Andrew, I loved you in Spider-Man.
It was just sort of quite soon after the release
of the amazing Spider-Man.
I loved you in Spider-Man,
so I had to get a quick selfie,
and he said, oh, no, sorry, I'm in a rush,
and then just sort of slowly ambled off.
I couldn't possibly.
I'm in such a hurry hurry Have you ever said no?
Because I imagine you get stopped sometimes
for selfies and stuff
No
Maybe
It doesn't really count
but if people go
my friend says you're famous
and you don't really know what to say to that
and then they don't know who you are and then can i have a selfie you go no yeah i don't even know who i am
what are you talking about yeah the third in a queue for selfies who's like i don't know but
there's a queue in there yeah exactly have you seen those videos where like non-famous people
go to like a mall in america and they take like six people with them and they get those six
people to come up to them and ask for the picture and then nobody and then the whole of them all
just start asking for pictures even though no one knows does that really happen yeah like a stunt
they'll get people go oh my god can i get a picture can i get a picture and then six of them will take
a picture and then there's just a queue of people who've got no idea who this is meant to be getting photos. I once was on the way home from college with some friends,
and I don't remember why we decided to do this,
but we decided to all run at separate times,
stop at the same point, which was near a bus stop,
and look up above the building across the road
as if something remarkable was happening.
And everyone else
started joining in and trying to look for this thing that we were all looking at
that was fun i already love your mates from college yeah like this is what we do a lot of
kids get pissed and try and bang girls not sean and the crew they're doing hijapes at bus stops
hidden camera without the camera
really well hidden camera you'd have been so good on tiktok you're just 20 years too early
have you because i watched a lot of your um your videos the start of lockdown when you were doing
the calls with your agents and stuff oh yeah have you been living on your own uh i did for lockdown i did for lockdown one and then the
uh girlfriend can you say the girlfriend yeah you can say that yeah god i get so scared i was like
the girlfriend is that okay yeah that's okay you can't't on here, definitely. We can save that. You can save the girlfriend on here.
Yeah.
My girlfriend. Have you worked with Adam before?
Can I save the girlfriend?
Fuck it.
I just get petrified.
No, yes.
So she moved in for number two and number three.
Yeah.
So there you are.
So yes, I was one on my own.
Yeah.
It was very nice.
I enjoyed it.
Did you?
I loved lockdown. Really? Absolutely I was one on my own. Yeah. It was very nice. I enjoyed it. Did you? I loved lockdown.
Really?
Absolutely.
I had a wonderful time.
Really?
Did you not?
Social anxiety taken away, isn't it?
Social anxiety taken away.
You don't really have to do anything that you don't.
Life is just full of having to go places and waiting,
which is awful.
That's what life is. It's just wait why i was on a train waiting to come here now i'm here we're waiting for this to end then i'll have to wait for the gig and then
we'll be at the green we're waiting to go on and i'll be waiting for you to finish just waiting
but in lockdown it's just it's lovely life has stopped and normally in life if you just stay at
home and sit on the couch and don't do anything you get like an anxiety about not doing stuff
you're like god i really should be going and doing stuff i didn't get that all right no but i mean in
a lockdown you can't it was all taken away yeah precisely so in normal life you're like oh fuck
i'm being a lazy cunt but you could my sister said that her and her partner didn't argue for
three months and they like have amazing bennies sometimes over nothing but like a lot of the stress that they have is
we've got to get the kids ready for this and it's that time and then you take that away and we're
like she was like yeah we're getting on really well because they weren't fight right like racing
the clock to get the kids out to fucking judo or some shit yes i mean what what what what what i don't what i sort of don't
understand is and i've not really spoken to anyone that has this view but i get the idea that like
what what what was it that people were missing that they loved about their lives so much
what what what were they our take no but it's not i can relate to it as well. But I don't, but I, what, like, okay.
We've got the pub.
I get it.
The, right, so take the pub out of the equation.
Yeah.
Then what, like, what's all the fuss about?
Human contact.
I would also take out the financial pressures.
That, that, that was, that was, that's scary.
Seeing friends, human contact. What do seeing friends human contact it's just such nonsense
what do you want to see your friend for if it's not at the pub
oh honestly have you ever met a friend not at the pub it's just awkward
what is there to talk about you make you if you meet a friend for a coffee
that is not awkward for about one coffee.
And then you've run out of stuff to say
because you're sober.
There's no point.
And slightly more touchy.
Yes, absolutely.
What about playing football, what do you mean?
Yeah, that would, if I played football, I would miss that.
Yeah. Okay, fine.
Yeah. Right.
I like the cinema, but I mean, it's all right.
I've got some films.
Get a bigger TV.
Delivered by Amazon.
Fine.
It's okay.
I can live with that.
That's all right.
I mean, what now?
What about the smell of fresh air on a summer's day?
Open your fucking window.
Classic 29-year-old scouse lad there.
What about the gentle mist of a spring morning
as you're, what the fuck?
That was like definitely not your life.
Fucking hell, I tell you, I need to get out of this roller.
I really miss the smell of a sweet-scented spring morning.
Why don't you do it in the garden?
Full of fucking bin bags.
That cleaning lady, the lazy old bitch, hasn't you do it in the garden? Full of fucking bin bags. That cleaning lady,
the lazy old bitch,
hasn't been around
because of the rolling.
Oh my God.
What about,
what about banging other,
I felt like the single people.
There are loads,
what?
Shagging.
Like going on dates.
If you,
if you were single.
It wasn't that long,
was it
no
a year
no
we were allowed out
there were bits
where we were allowed out
lockdown one
was basically
two months
and then it started
easing up a bit
yeah
it was
are you allowed
to shag now
are you allowed
to shag strangers now
yeah
what
are you allowed
to have sex
with strangers now
I've been allowed
to have sex
since I was 16 thank you very much you're allowed to have sex in strangers now? I've been allowed to have sex since I was 16.
Thank you very much.
You're allowed to fuck other people
as long as everyone doing it
is from a maximum of three households.
And you can't have six people in a gang bang at the minute.
Yeah.
It's legal to have a gang bang right now.
It's legal.
As long as there's less than six people.
No, it's illegal to have a proper gang bang.
Yeah.
Unless you're at work, so.
Oh yeah.
You're looking for patron content. We're doing a ghost hunt. Let's do a gang bang. If everyone's getting paid at work, so you're looking for patron content.
We're doing a ghost hunt.
Let's do a gangbang.
It's fine.
But obviously,
prostitution's illegal,
so you also have to film it.
Prostitution's what?
Illegal.
Oh, illegal.
Yes.
I was like,
hang on,
I thought it was illegal.
Oh, it is illegal.
You're in run car now, kid.
It's a little different.
Yeah.
Can you think of anything?
Because it sort of pissed me off
how right he is. What did, what? Gigs. Yeah, live entertainment. different. Yeah. Can you think of anything? Because it sort of pissed me off how right he is.
What did, what?
Gig, yeah.
Live entertainment.
Music.
I mean, it was going to come back.
Yeah, but you said, what did you miss?
Why did you hate it?
How often did you go to music gigs?
Very regularly.
I was going on a weekly basis.
Oh, all right, fair.
I mean, I don't.
Did you not miss performing?
We would perform again, believed yeah i believed we would perform again so in which case no because we would again you could
it's what dan said you couldn't so it didn't it wasn't due to my health or anything. I will gig again. That's coming.
Not entirely sure when,
but it's down the line.
So let's enjoy ourselves.
Cheers.
Yeah.
Having a child in a mortgage freaked me out.
That's what freaked me out.
Because I was like, oh shit, when though?
Because I didn't know we were going to get government assistance
and I didn't know me and him talking to each other via Zoom
every afternoon was going to start being profitable that quickly.
For the first couple of weeks, I was shitting it.
That stuff's scary.
That stuff's really scary.
But like you said, I've noticed since gigging again,
and I'd be interested in knowing your thoughts on this,
but I have the, what was the word you used about the coffee?
Tetchy. Yeah.
I've just, I've got a gig tonight and I'm just not quite relaxed. I'm just a bit, there's a gig
and I feel a bit anxious, slight despair, fear and dread of this is going to go horribly wrong.
Nah.
You've been doing it, how long you been doing it? 15 years?
And you've regressed to open spot level
of like i think it's gonna be bad and i'm touching i always feel that's how i feel every time look
this gig is lovely and if it goes badly at all it's entirely your fault if that makes you feel
any better yes it does yeah i'm the opposite how wonderful. I've come back with an attitude of,
I don't care what anyone in the room thinks
as long as I'm having fun.
Oh, I wish I had that.
But you hind for gigs.
Like, I've been doing it at the point
where that first lockdown hit.
I started gigging in 2002,
and I hadn't had more than two and a half,
three weeks off for my whole career.
And I enjoyed a bit of a break the
fear was like holy fuck money when we're gonna get back but i was enjoying like oh my god i put
etta to bed every night and like this was the the first time i've been able to do that you
were pining for a gig quicker than me and then it hit with me it took me about a month and i was
like because we talked about stand-up
and I started really missing it.
But you were like 10 days,
two weeks going,
it's funny,
like get back to gigging.
Maybe that has a big effect.
I got woke up by the same bird tweeting.
You can't call her that anymore.
There you go.
Like 5am when it was sunny. do you remember the sun was amazing what life should be like quiet birds singing that was my alarm
and i would get up it was lovely penguin what's going on to that bird now is it like the bird
got the roll out of the fridge please just whatever please just whenever you're thirsty um i don't know if i've brought the right vibe you are absolutely you have you just bring
your own vibe i can't i just love the idea of the whole world having a fucking collective panic
attack and you being like good good i like the tiger king and I want to watch it all twice. Brilliant.
Yeah, good.
That's a great coping mechanism.
When it all booted off again in November, New Year,
I said to myself, I'm not going to get flapped this time.
I'm just going to, that's what,
the thing I wish I'd done is what you've done. When it kicked off and it was bad, go, this is temporary.
I got wound up that it was just the foundations
have been pulled out from under me.
I wish I could go back and go, you're going to be all right.
It's going to be fine.
But that's easy, isn't it, with hindsight?
In January, it was a bit more chilled out.
Yeah, I think it did help for me that it was a lot worse
than I thought it was going to be.
Do you know what I mean?
I thought it was good.
When like, Europe was locked down and we were like, are we going kept saying to you we're not gonna and if we do be four days and
then be fine and then it wasn't and i think that was the problem for me right i mean yes i'm a i
was hopelessly optimistic very naively and then when it was shite i was like oh this is shite
that's gone now isn't it that optimism from adam or the i mean i don't mean from
the globe definitely i mean definitely from you yeah i just like when in the lockdown three points
i would definitely want yeah it just pissed me off having this was amazing what did you do
did you do anything did you do some right what have you did you just have a little like break
from it and now you're back or, because we threw ourselves into this.
This was our little fucking.
It's amazing.
No, I wrote a lot.
I did nothing for lockdown one
and then lockdown three.
Yeah, I wrote a lot.
I wrote a sitcom.
You think you wrote a sitcom?
It's been a year, hasn't it?
So yeah, I wrote a sitcom in episode in episode one
in lockdown oh god is it a sitcom for you are you gonna in your head are you the lead yes in my head
i'm the lead yeah yeah yeah it's not gonna get made or anything but it's i wrote i wrote it it
was nice to see I like I still am
a very optimistic person
and if I'm writing a sitcom
in my head
it's already been commissioned
do you know what I mean
but that's how this happens
isn't it
that's how
that's
what's it called
what's it called
when you
you see
you envision something
yeah
visualise
yeah
manifestation
manifestation
and it happens I don't i don't have that i just
go it's it's it's not gonna happen there's no way i just don't know how you can have the commitment
to raise an entire sitcom while constantly thinking no one's gonna make this i would
what's the sentence three if i thought there was any possibility that it wasn't going to get made. Because you can't let the idea that it's not going to get made
stop you from doing the thing that you love.
Yeah.
Which is making things.
So I've done the hard bit.
I've written it.
I can't do anything about getting it made.
I can't.
Can't we make it?
We could produce it.
Could you produce the sitcom oh adam in his
mind can do anything he bloody well wants it's i play a sort of uh alcoholic dysfunctional uh
therapist who's who's um completely in actually he's quite a good therapist but it's his own personal life
that drips into
his work and makes his work
life and his personal life extremely
chaotic
imagine if we made it and then offered it to
Alfie Brown
how much of a fucking kicker that would be
Sean we've really got someone else in mind
for this
we've already got a couch
there we go
yes perfect
there we go
you've got one of the props
how to win over
a script writer
we've already got a couch
we're halfway there
don't want to waste money
on fucking props
got three cameras
we've got a second studio
I don't have a good to go
oh god
and you did a podcast
with Paul McCaffrey
oh I did a podcast with Paul McCaffrey oh I did a podcast
with Paul
has Paul been on this year
oh no
not yet
what a man
what a beautiful man
Paul McCaffrey
just had a baby
has he
yes
at his age
yes
he has
hi Paul
I love being a cunt
he's one of my favourite
people in comedy
yes
wonderful he's up in a favourite people in comedy yes wonderful
he's up for a couple of weeks to do Hot Water Comedy Club
with me and with you
yes that will be fun
where are you?
I don't know
I'm doing less gigs than I used to
but probably just gigging
I didn't know whether I was
I'm going to say this
and I didn't know whether I was going to
I was like should I say this?
would it be awkward?
but it's like
it's no disrespect to you
because remember I'm in the
room as well yeah so i but you're one of the best comedians i've ever seen live yeah yeah you don't
mind if i no no you're fantastic yeah but when i start when i was new when i saw you remember i
always tell you about this when you you opened comedian in. In Brighton. In Brighton. And absolutely annihilated it.
I just, I couldn't believe what I was watching.
I was sat stage right,
and it was like, what the fuck is...
It was just, it didn't stop.
It was just relentless.
And that was the gig where Reg was closing.
Do you remember this?
I told you about this?
Yeah. Reginald T. Were you on this? I told you about this? Yeah.
Reginald T.
Were you on in the middle?
No, I was just there to watch.
Okay.
And Reginald, I don't even know if I'd started.
I might have started actually, but I was there to watch.
And Reg was closing and he's doing his set.
And this girl was absolutely paralytic in the front row.
And all you could hear in between the silences was her going,
Please, please fuck me.
Please, please, please.
And it was making his gig really, I mean, the crowd,
we're really laughing at it,
but obviously it's making his job quite difficult.
And he's trying to carry on,
he's trying to persist through this set.
Was she laughing at Reginald D Hunter?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wasn't someone else entertaining him.
Listen, listen, listen, listen,
it was Reginald D Hunter,
he's trying to go through the set,
and this really happens.
And suddenly, it's sort of forgotten about her,
and you just see her legs.
Her legs.
Into above everyone's head.
She just had reds and then these legs like that.
I remember.
Fuck me.
And do you want the absolute topper for this story?
I know what the topper is.
He did. Nope. That was Lou the topper is. He did.
Nope.
That was Lou Conran.
No.
Fuck off.
I got her a free ticket because we were mates.
No!
Right?
She'd moved back to Brighton because her parents are from Sussex.
Right.
Right?
And she was like, yeah, I'll come down.
She got steaming with a mate.
They stupidly put a fucking, at the time,
amateur comedian on the front row.
She got pie-eyed, started doing all that.
And I never admitted to Reg that I knew her.
Absolutely not.
Lou Conran, ladies and gents,
pulled her legs up in the air and went,
go on, Reg!
It was absolutely shit.
It was unbelievable.
And I was fucking mortified.
I was like, I'm just not seeing a fucking thing.
Oh my day, I remember it so well.
Did you know it was Lou Conrad?
I knew that, I don't know who that is, I don't think,
but I knew that Dan knew her.
Yeah.
So Lou Conrad, you know, she's a brilliant comic.
I do, sorry.
Yeah, you probably work with her or whatever.
Yes.
Yeah, she is.
She's been on the couch, like, doing really well.
But, whoa, that was an early moment.
Fucking brilliant. Well, thank you very much, mate appreciate that you've said that it's funny isn't it when you when you're starting out because to to like when
you're starting out and you're new it's like you're a sponge and it's you you just soak up
everything and yeah those first comics that you see that for whatever reason just stick in your mind it's
after like five years that happens less and less totally when you're new you're like what
no i saw you again we did some weird festival there's hardly anyone there
i did you remember it was like a few years ago. Andrew Bird was there. And again, you know, it's not just nostalgia.
You know, I've seen you in the last few years
and it's just relentless.
It's amazing to watch.
We've both watched this a few times.
So I started 2010.
Okay, I'm seven.
Yeah.
So he was already eight years into doing it.
Oh, wow.
And in the Northwest, in Manchester and Chester and Preston and Liverpool,
you're watching him compare in particular.
It was Dan Nightingale and Friends,
even on like a weekend bill full of headliners.
Because it's just, yeah.
Do you know what I also made a point of?
And I think that's a great change in stand-up now
is the turning over your stuff as well.
Like it's one thing being a murderer and smashing, smashing
and having stuff that is like, yeah, this is smashed.
And the crowd are like, whoa.
And the staff are like, if I have to hear this one more fucking time.
The other thing that when I watch a comic and I'm like,
fucking, that's quality
the the other layer is and i haven't heard any of that shit yeah yeah yeah that's when you're like
this is quality i remember talking to danny mack about that i was like you're smashing it smashing
it and that's the main thing in it and turning over materials important but he was like killing
is easy was his yeah his little oh phrase once you learn
how to kill it's easy it's easy to go on and just do what you did last time you made it because it
will work again of course yes but if you you've got to find a way to make it a better and be
harder for yourself and more reward without it going without it dying on the vine because that's
the other thing a great set can go stale can't it i
think for me i get bored of doing stuff where are you with that where's your do you need to turn it
over oh yeah yeah yeah yeah i'm doing i've never seen you do the same set twice ever uh well i i
know i'm i don't think i suffer from you know not writing or anything like that. But I, you know, even coming out of lockdown, did Comedia.
I did a few gigs before I did the weekend at Comedia with Steve and Grant and Zoe Lyons.
And, you know, they were amazing.
But I'd done a few gigs and I'd realised the stuff that I thought was,
the stuff that was working on Zoom, you know,
I'd been warned in the in the first few gigs
back that not all of that's gonna fly yeah and and so when i went to comedian i did two halves
10 of some of the you know 10 of new brand new and then 10 of stuff that was said before and
i just i don't get a i don't get about you know the rush yeah i don't get a, I don't get a, you know, the rush. Yeah. I don't get the rush.
I just come off and it doesn't even matter how that first 10 went.
I'm angry at myself that I was doing the, you know,
the final 10 was already, I was saying that before lockdown.
Did you do loads of Zoom gigs?
No, but I did.
The indication from Zoom would have been that this is all,
I felt like I was coming out of lockdown with,
I did two work in progress. Like I did two hours. Yeah. zoom would have been that this is all i felt like i was coming out of lockdown with i did i did a
two work in progress like i did two hours yeah and it seemed to all work and i was like i've
basically written a new show do the first gig back i haven't written a new show i very much
haven't written a new show what is that what what was that with the zoom stuff like i did i i'm
doing the same thing now
i've got some new stuff that we tried last week at hot water and tonight i've got 20 25 minutes
in leeds and i'm pulling out stuff from before the lockdowns not even the best stuff just the
stuff that i'm not bored of yeah yes sort of stayed fresh in the notebook or whatever. Yes. And I've tried to do some Zoom gigs to sort of tune up,
and it's just the weirdest feeling going,
fuck, that just sort of died on Zoom.
And that definitely worked before.
That's worked in front of a live audience.
Why is it dying on Zoom?
And then the new idea you had fucking 20 minutes ago
is like, ha, ha, ha, ha,
you've got Beryl and fucking steve on
the couch pissing themselves because it's just a totally totally totally different thing and it's
the reason i so our listeners are bored of me saying this i didn't do many i did a couple of
corporate ones and that was it i was like the club gig ones i'm just not doing them don't like the
idea of it i don't think it's the same thing as stand-up it's not the same as being in front of yeah you're right it's just not the same it's something different like if it came
around oh at a different time when i was still doing live stand-up i might have been more inclined
to go oh this is a new thing i'll give that a try the same way i have with podcasting because this
isn't stand-up comedy it's something else but the fact it was pretending to be a replacement for
stand-up is what made me not want to do it and i think a lot of people have gone oh no it's just doing stand-up but to a
computer and this will all be exactly the same on stage and it's not and it's not necessarily
that being on stage you have to be better or being on zoom you have to be better it's just
different and there'll be stuff that works on zoom that doesn't work live and there'll be stuff that
works live that doesn't work on zoom because it's it's badminton and tennis to use my old analogy again i watched i watched dane open a uh the covid arms
and dane's a quality comic the what the covid arms the the one that kiri ran the covid arms
she ran she made a fake online pub oh right okay right i'm sorry i thought this was a real pub okay yeah right right okay so yeah right yeah next door to the aids restaurant yes okay
i love it how that's completely i love it how you've never heard of a covid i was like what
yeah yeah yeah no sorry sorry right yeah okay so there was an online gig at the covid i was like what yeah yeah yeah no sorry sorry right yeah okay there was an online gig
at the covid i see and he started doing club stuff funny club stuff and i was watching it
and at the time i was sat in my little fucking spare room and you can see people in their front
room and that started at 7 p.m and he's doing stuff that is weekend comedy club, little bit edgy, little bit of a something about vaginas.
And you could see people going,
oh,
yeah.
Cause they just put the kids to bed and they're in their living room.
Yeah.
So of course there is a,
it's gotta be different because what we,
we always say this about corporates.
I don't mind corporates.
If the company come to the comedy club, as soon as it's an away day and you're the Marriott or at the, be different because what we we always say this about corporates i don't mind corporates if the
company come to the comedy club as soon as it's an away day and you're the marrier or at god forbid
at their place of work when punters come to a comedy club they step onto our turf and it changes
the atmosphere like oh we're we're in your house when you're doing your bits in their living room
you haven't gone to see them yeah that that
zoom thing is the problem with it is people are on a laptop in their fucking dining room going
wow that's a bit much yes you get away with way more the same thing and it was never going to be
and i'm i'm sort of obviously having this has given me the sort of privilege to do it but i'm
so glad I stuck to
me guns I went I'm not doing them unless you're gonna pay me then for the month any difference
coming out of it you like are you doing Edinburgh again what's what where you at what about ah uh
there's gigs doing a lot oh I know I came out with uh a mentality because of the the terrifying
notion that you know the the financial thing that was
put in front of us I thought I'm gonna I've taken my situation for granted and I'm gonna
I'm gonna work harder than I've ever worked which I never really done before so I'm doing more gigs
than I ever have done really I've kicked pretty much every night since this is yeah since we've
reopened so i've i have come out with a sort of new mentality which is just keep and where's your
where's your living room gig where's your home home like because adam's hot water yeah sort of
the frog i was at the frog i'd say top secret i have like i don't know if you have this it's such
a privilege of like popping rights yeah i feel feel like Louis CK just like walking in.
I sort of get that at Top Secret
because I don't live in London.
Yeah.
So I'm not famous.
There's a small profile there, I suppose.
But Mark has always been so good to me.
Whereas if I'm at another club in London,
if I text him a few months in advance,
he'll just put the weekend in
and I'll get the fees and whatever.
But if I'm walking past the club and I just go can i just he'll go yeah yeah it's wonderful
i've never seen you there i've never done it oh my god you'd absolutely oh dear for me there's
something to look forward to yeah yeah you should do it yeah top secret pot a lot i could just
like you said rock up and uh and try anything and it's brilliant yeah it's home it's the story
with top secret it's only been around what it's not been around all. And it's brilliant. Yeah, it's home. What's the story with Top Secret?
It's only been around, what?
It's not been around all that long.
It's been around for a decade.
Right?
Because they started in the Africa Centre,
which was around the corner in Common Garden.
And when he was in the Africa Centre,
he was told he had to book a certain amount of black comics.
Oh!
Do you remember this?
Now that makes sense.
What did you think? of black comics oh do you remember this now that makes sense yeah that was and then when is this an urban night but when he when he moved like there was there was uh at one point there was a a bit of an
argument between a lot of comics who were black and Mark
because he wasn't booking as many
when he moved to the new venue.
And they were like, we've helped you build the club.
You've still got to give us just as many gigs
just because that restriction's been taken away.
And he's quite fair, Mark.
He books everyone as long as you made the gig.
He's as fair a comic booker as there is anywhere in the country.
He's fucking brilliant.
But it starts with it.
What are you smirking at?
Just imagine if there was an Africa Centre in Manchester
and there was a gig there and they were like,
you've got to book loads of black comedians.
There is like two up here.
So you're going to see a lot of them.
You can do it in London.
And then they moved to the club they're in now.
And he's just built it.
Like he's just mental, isn't he?
He does the bar.
He does the door.
He compers.
He hosts it.
He does everything.
And the gig is just like,
you book it in
and he's like
I'll pay you whatever
I can pay you
the fee will be whatever
I say it is
do the fucking gig
where do you want to go on
where do you want to go on
what's the running order
you booked this
that's very
that's
that's so much more New York
yes it feels
like
out of London
it's very like
the opener
is this person the middle act is this person it's all like The opener is this person
The middle act is this person
It's all booked seven months in advance
Our top secret you can also be
Through people like Sean
And when there's a big American acting as well
If you're closing
You're meant to do 20 minutes
Sometimes he'll be like
Eight, just do eight
Because TJ Miller's coming down
And he's going to do something at the end
Yeah
And you can be closing that gig after,
like, it could be Jack White's all open,
Paul Chowdhury in the middle,
Sean pops in and does 10,
and then Johnny Club comic at the end.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20 minutes, and it's, yeah, it's, I love it.
I had to follow Jeff Ross.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he popped in.
That's pretty cool.
I got flashed on 10 minutes once
because Jeff Ross had turned up.
Wow.
So I didn't get told before I went on, and I'm 10 minutes in, and I know I'm on 10 minutes once because Jeff Ross had turned up. So I didn't get told before I went on.
And I'm 10 minutes in
and I know I'm about 10 minutes in
and the light starts going
and I went, no, and carried on.
And then the light come again
and I'm on stage in the mic.
I went, Mark, are you asking me to come off?
I've done 10 minutes.
And he went, yeah, someone's here.
And I went, okay.
Have you ever been bumped?
You imagine, because I was at the store. Imagine if that was for just an act that you're been bumped? Because that happens at the store.
Imagine if that was for just an act that you're like,
Sean Percival's turned up.
When it's Jeff Ross, you're like, all right, fair enough.
But because at the comedy store in London,
that would happen, wouldn't it?
They bump the open spot.
Yeah, they can do, yeah.
If like, you know, McIntyre or jack d or someone turn up they bump
it's a very un-british thing but i think it's if if you're in london and i suppose maybe
manchester liverpool you could have it happen comics who are like i was bought for this time
it should just be more like i don't give a shit mate like jason manford bought part of a comedy
club in chester that's such a shame that it didn't last.
Yeah, that was great.
Jason, will you come down and do a bit?
It'd be great if you came down.
The whole bill happened.
It was Jason was famous.
No one else was.
Like he was going on and he wouldn't go in before anyone.
He wouldn't bump anyone.
The whole bill happened till 11 p.m.
And then he went on and he wouldn't bump anyone the whole bill happened till 11 p.m and
then he went on and he owned 20 of the fucking building but still didn't want to bump anyone
because he didn't want anyone going oh man for throwing his fucking weight around in it oh
brilliant oh so he did it's the sound way to do it though isn't it that's very nice it is sound but
it was it was an inefficient way of doing it because it was 11.50 and he was still on.
And his brother Colin was like, fuck's sake, what's going on?
It's his club, mate.
I'm not going chasing.
Could you get off?
That's right.
You own this fucker.
But I don't think I've ever been,
I've told the story on here before.
Sarah Silverman did The Boat and she went on
maybe before the headliner or after the middle act
and just did 10, 15 of new and it wasn't
great. I think she thought I could just do some new stuff. And it was the boat and it was Saturday
night and it was all everyone just trying to bang it out of the park. And she was virtually on a
notebook. So that was one of those weird things where the New York mentality of like, I'll go and
do a spot just meets the UK mentality of Saturday night night is when you pay the mortgage you book it
in nine months in advance you turn up and you poof yes but if i owned a club i'd definitely do it how
top secret do it and be like yeah of course you're being maneuvered yes jeff ross in yeah yeah nate
what did you think if you walk down the stairs of top secret there's a photograph of every famous
comic who's ever played there on So cool. It's fucking great.
Yeah.
Like it's.
That's the stuff you dream about when you start.
Yeah.
Or is it just me?
Being on the wall.
Being on the wall.
Yeah.
Being on the wall.
Yeah.
Come on.
I'm on the wall.
Yeah.
I've done it.
Yeah.
I asked to go on the wall in New Zealand and they were like, yeah, maybe.
That's not the same.
No.
Can I go on the wall? I know. It's so. It's I'm's not the same can I go on the wall
I know
there's I'm on the wall
and can I go on the wall
I was literally
looking at the wall
what's the fuck
the classic in Auckland
yeah
I was like drunk
looking at this wall
going this is literally
the biggest wall
it wasn't even like
an exclusive
like you know
the comedy store
in Manchester
there's Robin Williams
and Alexei Salya
well I'm not getting
on that fucking wall
but then at Auckland
it was like
every comic
that had ever bothered
to just drop in
and do five
was on the wall
I was like
can I go on the fucking wall
our top secret as well
it's really funny
because there's
there's about
30-40 photos
on the wall
and
25-35 of them
are super famous
and there's
five people
who probably
have to go on the wall
Trevor Noah
Amy Schumer
Chris Rock
this guy
he's on the wall
at hot water
yeah Carl's on the wall
at hot water
that's pretty cool
because he was the show manager
got his mate
to use the camera
to take a picture of him
hung it on the wall
and then left
it's still there
it's still there I'm not I'm genuinely a picture of him, hung it on the wall and then left. It's still there. It's still there.
I'm not.
I'm genuinely a man of my own. It's bloody Auckland all over again. I thought you were
going to say a name and you bottled it.
Well, we don't slap comics off.
No, I know. Not to their face.
I've started doing it.
I don't know when it happened.
I think it happened about two, maybe three
months ago when the Patreon got so... I was like, oh, I'm going to start being a dick to the people I don't know when it happened. I think it happened about two, maybe three months ago when the Patreon got so...
I was like, oh, I'm going to start being a dick to the people I don't like.
It's made me enjoy doing this podcast way more.
Name that bellend!
Did you, talking about Jeff Ross,
did you see him and Attell do the bumping mics thing on Netflix?
Yeah, a little bit, yes.
Are you going to ask me what I thought? Because I don't remember it.
I don't remember much.
Yeah?
That's it.
Full stop.
I don't remember much. It's a problem.
Am I wrong?
Phenomenal.
You'd be great at a government inquiry.
I'm sorry, i do not recall yeah i just don't i don't know what uh i don't i don't really have a memory nothing really sticks there's
a friend of mine who i went to school with who can't remember anything at all until it's triggered
so if he can't start any conversation about when we were in school he can't go oh do you remember
that time mark
pulled the teacher's pants down and pushed him over in the hallway but if i go remember the
time mark pull he'll go put his pants down and push him over in the hallway if you trigger it
he's i'm similar to that i think it's an efficiency thing you know i think it's just
using your brain for what you need it to do you like filter all this shit out yes i also get very
generous way to think of it though in it not really no because it's still there you're told yes i also get very generous way to think of it though in it not really no because
it's still there you're just not using the fucking the main i also think i don't enjoy much and
enjoying things helps you remember you know you go i enjoyed that i remember it right because i
don't enjoy much it means that i just don't remember because i wasn't really enjoying it
i was just there because I had to be.
So the real test to find out if this is a good show is ask me in a month's time go,
do you remember anything from the podcast?
And I'm sure I will.
I often don't remember things from the podcast,
but I do enjoy it.
We'll get to the end of it and Carl will go,
what were the clips you want for social media this week?
And I'll be like,
you're going to have to watch the whole thing again.
Five minutes after we've stopped.
I can't get excited.
I actually think seriously,
it's some sort of dopamine problem.
I don't get excited,
but I don't have the emotion excitement.
I don't have it.
I have happy that this is happening now. It's happening. I'm happy. Yeah. But I don't have it i i have happy that this is happening now it's happening i'm happy yeah but
i don't have happy it's going to happen i can't holidays the whole thing is torture until you're
at the holiday it's that i've i'm in the hotel room i've put the case down okay i can have fun
otherwise i was just a horror I was sat on a plane.
That was, what an awful, awful experience.
Have an argument with Nicolas Cage.
Have an argument with Nicolas Cage.
Airports, queuing, have to take off your belt,
have to eat in a restaurant you probably don't really want to.
You're surrounded by loads of people you don't know,
probably don't like.
Then you're sat on a plane, bump into Princess Diana.
You're not sat in first class, which means, let's face it,
you're basically uncomfortable.
You're sat in a chair for, well, anything over an hour is bad.
Everyone's eggy.
Everyone's eggy.
Well, so far, this holiday has been horrific.
This has been absolutely horrific.
So why the hell would I look forward to this?
Right?
And then you get to the airport.
Well, now I'm just in an airport in another country.
The airport in my country I preferred
because it was nearer to my house.
Now I'm in another airport, which is in another country.
This couldn't get any worse.
And they smell weird.
And I've got to find a taxi, right?
Now I can't speak the language.
This is awkward.
I feel awkward about not learning the language.
Now they're having to speak my language. I feel incompet feel awkward about not learning the language now they're having
to speak my language i feel incompetent i get in the car i don't know how far away we are from the
hotel is he gonna screw me with them this is just horrendous like make this stop get to the hotel
q no q now we're in a queue oh god when God. When is this person going to hurry up? Had to talk to the person.
Sorry, I can't speak your language again.
I'm sorry about that.
Yeah, it's just because my country only invaded a few of the countries.
Why didn't they just do the whole planet?
Would have been a lot easier for now.
No offense.
Not like now, but if they had done it ages ago,
then I would have to feel guilty about it,
and you'd speak English, and it would be fine.
Here's your key card.
Okay.
You have to get a lift.
I don't want to be in
a lift who wants to be in a lift that's not enjoyable either now i've got to my floor okay
swipe card it's working we're in let's enjoy ourselves
that awful feeling like oh my god i have to do all that again in six days.
Are you just the whole of the holiday?
I can't believe I've got that coming up.
It's already Thursday.
Exactly.
But yeah, so I don't have excitement,
which is annoying.
Wow.
There you go.
That was... I love it yeah and and i enjoyed watching that unfold can't wait to make a sitcom with him yeah yeah that's gonna be fun isn't it oh fuck off

just magic magically stopped existing and you wanted to
pick a new team
who would you pick
and why?
You're a QPR fan
aren't you?
Yes
Why?
Why?
Because my dad
moved over
when we were like
top of the league
with Bowles and Marsh
and Jerry Francis
so Liverpool
actually beat us
to the
beat us to the league
that year
but that was our best team.
So he moved over to Shepherds Bush to support QPR.
So then he started bringing me to the games in London.
And so the reason I live in Shepherds Bush
is so I can walk to the games.
Oh, really?
I can't imagine.
That question sickens me.
I don't want to imagine.
I can't.
I'm not answering.
I'm not.
I would never. See, I don't i can't i'm not i'm not answering i'm not i'm not i wouldn't i would never see i don't even like football i don't like football i love qpr i don't even understand why people watch
other football matches like i don't give a shit about any of these men any of these places these
fans nothing i support my team i'm qp i'm qpr i'm not football i'm qpr i'm not football
god i wish for you that qpr weren't as shit as they are because you have you have the commitment
of a liverpool fan who's had a lot of payoff for that level of love yeah i am qpr you caught me I bleed blue and white what have you on well we got promotion
in 2011
fucking hell
I am so
could you answer that
I am so close
to that latitude
in that I can't
really fathom it
however
the answer
disgustingly
is Everton
if Liverpool
stopped existing
I would support
the other Liverpool team
I suppose
oh I am
fascinated by that
I try to imagine where you...
I thought you'd go...
I just thought you'd do the toys out of the park and go,
no, Liverpool are nothing.
Just like...
Yes, yes, yes.
But maybe I don't understand the Liverpool-Leverton rivalry.
Because Joe and they were about to win the league last year.
I'm an Everton fan by the way
so I fucking
hate them
okay
everyone makes
it a Scouse
thing so I'm
automatically
defending them
in a weird way
because I can't
have them Scouse
Yeah like Man United
and Chelsea fans
are like those
fucking horrible
Scouse
bin dip and rat
cunts
and he's in
there
I'm a Scouser
so I'm like
he's in there
attitude towards
Liverpool
Do you hate
Man United
more than you
hate Liverpool
yeah oh yeah you've got actually sorry I'm a Scouser. He's in there. Attitude towards Liverpool. Do you hate Man United more than you hate Liverpool? Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You've got... Actually,
sorry,
going to go back.
I support whoever's playing United.
Really?
Whoever's playing United.
We went to pub to watch the final today
and celebrated as if we'd won.
That was wonderful.
What if Fulham are playing United?
Yeah.
Oh.
Absolutely.
Yeah. Yeah, United. I love the grounds in West London that are playing United? Yeah. Oh. Absolutely. Yeah.
Yeah, United.
I love the grounds in West London.
They're absolutely jammed in.
It's like Craven Cottage and Loftus Road.
They're like, I've got to get a stadium in here.
But the house prices, I know.
We need at least 16,000 people.
But we could have eight houses.
Never mind that.
It's so funny.
Do you know who Dan supports?
I'm a Watford fan.
What?
Foot?
Hey.
Jaro.
Could that go in one of the clips?
Yeah, yeah.
That's how you build a podcast.
Give him jokes.
This is,
that question for me
Is
It's hard to answer
But because
I see myself as a scouter
Before I see myself
As anything else
I
The answer is
As annoying
As an answer
That is
It's a surprise
For you
Because you don't like football
But you love QPR
And you've lived near it
Your whole life
So that you can go to the game
Yeah
It becomes
No I'm not doing anything else.
Different for you, isn't it?
Watford.
Yeah, I picked Watford
because I got into football late
and I like being different.
You picked them?
Yeah, me and my mate Fraser,
everyone was like a United, a Liverpool,
a Preston or a Blackburn fan,
like early 90s.
And we wanted to be little weirdos
and be different.
So we did a
FA Cup draw
of the teams
we were going to support.
I thought his dad
was a Wofford fan.
And basically,
he cheated Watford
the way through.
I think officially,
it should have been
Plymouth Argyle
that we picked.
But he was like,
yeah, but my dad's
from Watford,
so he'll take us to games.
And I was like,
alright,
everyone's going to think
we're different.
And then,
I think his dad took us from about the 92, 93 season
over the next three or four seasons, took us to about 20 games.
And we were always in the away end.
And we went to Vicarage Road maybe three or four times.
But we went to four or five times as many away games.
And it just stuck.
It just really stuck.
I like that.
And what's great is you meet other football fans no one's
ever gone oh of course you support watford because like you know we won the 97 98 division
two championship but like nothing else can you answer the question i part of me would go well
then i would have liked to support a team that won more because I've been with mates I was
at my mate's flat when you beat Tottenham in the Champions League yeah and it was just insane
watching because I've obviously I follow the New Orleans Saints and have done for a while but
they've never been in a Super Bowl watching those lads watch the Champions League I was like
I will never have this because like when we beat Wolves in the semi-final of the FA Cup,
I got really excited.
But I didn't get as excited as my mate Tony and my mate Rummy got
watching Liverpool beat Tottenham.
It's just a fucking bigger thing.
It was, I don't know.
And I was with you when, you came with me, didn't you?
When Wofford played Man City in the FA Cup final.
I was like, oh, we're doing hot water.
It was just sad.
Watford are in the FA Cup final.
It was just really sad for two and a half hours.
Me, you and your...
I should have worn a Watford top.
But I think a few people around us,
like all Liverpool fans, worked out that I was like... There was no Man City fans. I think a few people worked out like all Liverpool fans worked out that I was like there was no Man City fans
I think a few people
worked out that
I was a Watford fan
and there was just
a few looks of like
fucking hell
because it was
6-0
and it just took pride
of like
bloody hell
the Watford fans
they keep fucking
waving them flags
so I don't know
maybe
maybe someone else
a little bit easier
to watch maybe,
but I like supporting
a smaller team.
It was,
you can become a Liverpool fan
if you want.
I'll take you to some games.
I had a chance,
didn't I?
I went to,
I went to Liverpool a few times
to like watch McManaman,
that team playing like 95,
96,
just didn't stick.
It wasn't the same
as supporting
almost like a joke team.
Yeah.
Imagine this,
QPR,
playoff final right
against Derby
0-0
90th minute
injury time
winner
Zamora
1-0
we're off to the Premier League
I had to leave at half time.
Was that 2010
2011
when was that?
Oh God I should know.
In and around there?
Yeah.
Where did you have to go?
Shrewsbury.
For a gig.
For a gig.
For a gig.
It's so much funnier. Did you want to take it?
You were at the game.
I was at Wembley.
And we have literally referenced Shrewsbury
as a boring place more than one but just recently
we're like where's the worst place to do a stag do shrewsbury on a tuesday and you had to leave
the playoff final i walked oh Way, walking away, crying.
That is so unbelievably heartbreaking.
Zamora scores.
You've deprived... I'm nearly crying.
Every time I tell this, I nearly start crying.
You've deprived yourself of possibly the greatest moment of your life?
Without a doubt.
There is no question.
That would have been the greatest moment of my life.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
With my brother, with my God. Yeah. Unbelievable.
With my brother, with my dad.
No, me on a train to Shrewsbury.
Find out we score the winner.
Can't celebrate.
I'm on the silent coach.
God.
Is that?
Honestly.
Can you see why I don't get excited? You can cry quietly though that's the good thing do you remember after 9-11 right oh god where where is this going do you know when you've
seen that video of the man jumping and it was just really sad yeah that story has just made me sadder
than the first time i've seen the fallen man from the twin towers i'm not i'm not i'm too scared to react so scared of twitter i can't be seen to to react to that that's the
first time we've mentioned the name of that newspaper oh my god podcast well uh if it helps
i'm not a fan this episode might go down as people's favourites for a lot of reasons,
but it just scored another couple of points.
Yes, I'm sorry.
Should I have not said that word?
That's sinful.
They're just scumbags, aren't they?
I'll bleep it.
Yes, that's a good idea.
Do bleep it.
Do bleep it.
I don't want anything to do with them, good idea do bleep it we have done it before i don't want them i don't
want anything to do with them so i'll bleep it what let's call them battle of horrible racist
misogynistic sexist gobshite cunts and i hope they're all having horrible lives every journalist
has ever worked there stepped in there i hope they come home and they find their entire family being bummed by apes and the apes are really enjoying it
yeah
it's really tricky to pick a question
is there some Patron in there? what? is there some Patron in there?
What?
Is there some Patron?
You two should host Good Morning Britain
That would plan out
I have to change it to Good Afternoon Cunts
That wouldn't even last as long as
Manfred doing the one show
Alright, Jase That wouldn't even last as long as Manfred doing the one show.
All right, Jason.
I had to wait for 50 minutes while you headlined that.
I'm not messing.
You had to wait while he headlined the laugh in?
I actually wanted to wait.
It was great.
It was really good fun.
I was going to say, if you're doing that,
you've got to offer to wrap the show up haven't you
one of my
one of my favourite
yeah
he would have done it
but I
I was totally
like one of my favourite
things is watching
brilliant
bigger acts
in clubs
I think it's
fucking great fun
yeah yeah
being in a
we've talked about
watching Kevin Hart
in an arena
what a disaster
and being in those big thousand seaters is fine watching a comic Being in a... We've talked about watching Kevin Hart in an arena. What a disaster.
And being in those big thousand seaters is fine.
Watching a comic that is regularly on TV,
like you're not like... I'm sure you do bigger venues
and I've supported you doing a massive venue.
I'd much rather watch you at Top Secret
or you at Hot Water.
It's fucking electric.
Watching Manford in front of 190 people
on a Saturday night in chester was
banging i just love comedy clubs more than anything else in the world like whenever i've
spoke to talk most of the night right so in birmingham we're gonna do the art center like
no we're not let's do the glee club because it's a comedy club and people are going for comedy
not for art do you know i mean like i want people everyone who's been in that room ever before
to have gone we're here for comedy not the place where they saw jack and the beanstalk last year
or a one woman play about like i just don't want any of that i want them to go one man play
yeah or one them play i'm really good i'mted that Adam didn't do the end of that one woman play
about
and my ears went
I say what
oh here's another thing
now going to be clipped
I say what
Jesus
right
Indie Clone
sent in a question
he says
hi Lids
if you could run a pub
anywhere in the world
where would it be
and what would you call it
mine would be
the Pug and Pauper
and I'd have it in Sheffield
that's from Indie Clone
oh by the way
I won't
by the way
before we talk about the pub
Indie Clone sent us a
you can send anything
but Indie Clone sent us
a little package
don't know what it is yet
I haven't opened it
don't know what it is yet
but
if you do want to send
something in by the way
the PO box is
have a word studio
run corn
the Heath business park
WA7 4QX
just put that on the screen
so we get to send some more stuff
I like it when we get to send stuff
but if it's a kilogram of cocaine
probably don't use Royal Mail
I
I really
like we haven't opened this yet
we're going to open it on Patreon next week
aren't we
I really hope
that it's actually cocaine
well
I'm gonna say this
I think I hope
more than you
you know
cause you don't do drugs
and I love a bit of beak
oh that'll be a
fun fortnight
of not sleeping
like guys where you going let's do more podcasts I really hope it's cocaine Oh, that'll be a fun fortnight of not sleeping.
Like, guys, where are you going?
Let's do more podcasts.
Woo!
I really hope it's cocaine.
I just really hope that someone has sent us this much cocaine in the post.
Like a postman had this in his bag.
How much would that be?
How much would this be?
Street wear.
You're looking.
As they say, street wear.
Bare minimum, 80, 90 quid.
Yeah.
You really know drugs, don't you?
That's London places.
I said bare minimum.
Bare minimum.
Are you saying it's less?
Because if it's not less, then I'm right.
Well, what's street value?
It's 50,000.
50,000, isn't it?
50 quid a gram, 1,000 grams.
Am I right?
That's pretty simple a kilogram
is it
yeah it is isn't it
do you reckon
yeah
or 50 gram
street value
depends how good it is
let's find out
let's find out the quality
are we going to sell it
that's street value though
isn't it
you do get a cheaper
buying it in bulk
thanks for that Costco
no but it is
and it's like
buying bottles of water from Costco.
Yeah, but when they say street value,
they don't mean like,
if you've got like a Groupon voucher,
they just do what it's worth per gram.
They're not like,
street value,
unless you know the bloke
and he gives you a few quid off.
No, but if you cut this up into a thousand bags,
you get 50 quid a bag,
but you don't get 50 grand for this, do you?
This is more like 25, 30, surely. Yeah, you're spot on. into a thousand bags you get 50 quid a bag but you don't get 50 grand for this do you this is
more like 25 30 surely yeah you're spot on yeah yeah you're right yeah you're right because you're
saving the admin you're saving the effort of cutting it up he is right you're saving on the
man hours yeah why are you explaining the most simple thing about drugs ever like no but it's more individually sold individually i'm right
i'm right and just to check it's illegal it's not allowed in this country by law
and people inhale it not through the mouth or bum all that right
no you can and it makes you feel good you would get high if you rubbed this on your bum oh
you would wouldn't you if you fingered yourself with this on your finger you'd get a you get a bit of a buzz listen sean didn't do one didn't want to do 9-11
we're just gonna have a quick break and everyone's going to come back stood up.
That fifth section was good.
Take me to higher ground.
Oh, God.
You see, actually, the human race,
actually, the human race itself
is like a cancer.
It's like a disease
that's trying to kill the earth.
That's what I've always been trying to say.
That's what I'm saying.
You know what I mean?
But it's good to be here. I just want to say i love you guys i've
always wanted to wear a cap back which is why i do that now oh god good here isn't it i love it here
rump corn freaking brilliant oh no it's good it's a good place uh have a word i have i've had plenty

something dick something dick tits pasties chips but i know no it's good it's good love the matrix
looking forward to the matrix 4 i love it when they release sequels right
but what they do is
they get the name of
the film like Batman
and then they just
they put a the on
so it's like The Batman
or with Wolverine
it's like The Wolverine
but they make a single

Dane back on so soon
oh god i've had too much coffee i forgot i had a cough my limit is to a day and I forgot I had a coffee. My limit is two a day
and I forgot I had one
on the train on the way here.
Genuinely, where's my Coke?
So I,
I feel.
But doesn't that mean
that you've now reached your limit?
You haven't gone past it.
No, I've gone past it.
Because I had one this morning,
one on the train and that.
I want it on display.
Don't miss next week's Patreon,
by the way,
because we're opening it
and seeing what it is.
I think next week
you should open it
and without checking anything, just have a line of it, whatever it is. Okay. On week you should open it and without checking anything
just have a line of it
whatever it is.
Okay.
On the episode.
Right.
Because
you're not going to get done
because it's not illegal
to see if something's cocaine.
It's only illegal
to do cocaine.
If you accidentally
smoke cocaine.
I don't think it's illegal
to do cocaine honestly.
No it's not.
It's definitely illegal to have possession of a kilogram of it.
You don't go to prison for sniffing cocaine.
So hang on, you're telling me.
It's possession and intent.
So if you get caught with a kilogram of cocaine.
No, because that's intent.
You're not doing that yourself, are you?
No, let me ask the question.
Okay.
So it's illegal to possess it, but not to do it.
So if the police turned up here now,
as long as you snort all of that before they get the handcuffs on you,
you're just fine.
Well, you're not going to go to prison.
I found a loophole!
Put it in the toilet!
No!
Put it in the toilet no put it in Adam he's done the whole kilogram
with his asthma
oh my goodness
Jesus Christ
this has been such a fun one
when you laugh enough
on this podcast
I get a weird like
like headache
I've got the same
yeah yeah I've got the same yeah
yeah yeah i've got it so if you could run a pub anywhere in the world where would it be you know
because that was hilarious but no way did we answer the question no uh i'd call it rowe's
boozer and put it in the middle of times square right in the middle good idea yeah all right
yeah tell me that you wouldn't that would be a really easy
to run pub
you've got constant
passing trade
yeah
I want you to rent me though
he's so confident
and he's like
no I'm not going to take
a premises that exists
I'm going to build
a purpose built
building
in the middle of
Times Square
Rowe's Bar
where are the bins
going out
what
where's the back of it
the middle of Times Square?
Underground.
Just straight into the cinema?
Right.
Because it's just a hatch?
Good, is it?
To be fair, when he answers and you're like,
all right, fair enough, yeah.
It's a very good, that's so business-minded, aren't you?
It's so good.
Not very environmentally-minded.
No.
In the fucking sense.
Yeah, but I'd just hire an environmentalist
to deal with that stuff.
I've just got to run the pub, haven't I?
You tell me that wouldn't be a successful pub.
Rowie's Bar.
Yeah.
Rowie's Boozer.
Rowie's Boozer.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
I want an old-style pub where you can't see in.
You know, like the windows, it's like...
Yeah.
They have windows, but it's curtains,
and it's like frosted glass.
Is it frosted glass? Frosted, yeah. Sort of like the glass and it's like frosted glass is it frosted glass
yeah
it's sort of like
the glass where it's like
circled
so you can't quite
see through it
yeah
it literally
what you're describing
looks like
one of the shops
on Diagon Alley
in Harry Potter
like oh yeah
lovely
where would you put it though
oh
I
maybe you can't have
the middle of Times Square
can't have
you've got the middle
of Times Square just't have you've got the middle of Times Square
just uh
just near my house
okay cool
he moved somewhere
to be close to QPR it definitely wasn't
going to be Norwich
if you can run a pub anywhere in the world Sean's like
immediately thinking moving vans
I don't want to feel that
just near yeah West London somewhere.
And then one of the old names, you know, like the duck.
The red lion.
The red, the, yeah.
The purple giraffe.
I think I'd, duck.
Duck?
I like a duck.
Just the duck?

For a fucking few boozes
Yep
Got the accent there
Brilliant
Alright
Dick Van Dyke
From Mary Poppins
What are we drinking?
What?
In the boozer
Beer
Oh in that accent yeah
Yeah
I'll have a fucking beer
I used to have a pub
that I worked at
that I spent a lot of my
sort of late teens
and early twenties at
it was called the Roundhill
it was a wonderful place
very
sort of
not influential in my life
but that was like a key part
of my life
and
so I might call it
the Roundhill after that
that shut
that closed
on New Year's Eve
and the last song we played was the cheers theme
and we all cried oh it's great being young in it yeah yeah closing at 37 like i found another
fucking job yeah how old were you when you started stand-up were you 21 okay yeah yeah similar to you
that you're 20 I was about 2021,
yeah.
I worked at a pub called Hartley's in Preston
that was just the same
and all my dickhead mates
were getting jobs
in Next and McDonald's.
I was like,
no thanks.
I'm going to steal money
from a pub in Preston
where girls turn up
and it's loads of fun
and we have lock-ins
and get given free beer.
Oh, great.
What was your shift
like at Next?
Fucking dreadful.
I got 20% off a tie.
Hammered.
One on.
Fucking heartless.
Just you saying the Roundhill
just reminded me of heartless.
It was just that formative time
where now,
if I had to do that job now,
I would hate probably every minute of it.
But at 18, I was like,
oh my God god it was so
good and i stole like a little bastard from it as well what if the managers or the landlord is
watching won't you be say sean you think far too far ahead yeah yeah what me and dan tend to do
is just say stuff and hope for the best yeah yeah and that's what he's like i just waited till they
got the right they give me the right money like two pints of carlin was whatever like say it was four
pound 80 and i just oh you've got four pound 80 and then i'd on purpose get distracted by the next
person and i'd carry that i'd carry that money for the next two orders i can just because it was
always but you can never nick on a sunday afternoon you can never nick on a tuesday night but friday
and saturday night so but Friday and Saturday night.
So if ever, and it never happened,
but if ever the manager went,
why have you got money in your hand?
I'd be like, I'm so sorry.
It's so busy.
I got distracted.
I've just got to literally put this in the till.
Me and Adam never did any of that.
No, you didn't do any of that at Zellig's or Envy.
No, of course you didn't.
I mean, I don't know why someone just didn't flick a pocket as I jingled my way out with 37 pounds
in my pocket.
Fucking bowling.
It was because
that's why I was getting
paid for the shift.
Just put it in your tip jar.
What?
Just put it in your tip jar
and say it's tips.
It was a shared tips,
wasn't it?
Joint tips.
Bullshit.
Bollocks.
Oh, I got a good
£1.80 from that.
Bollocks.
Jingle, jingle.
I got laid.
Sex. There. In the pub? Yeah. bollocks jingle jingle and I got laid sex there
in the pub
yeah
in the pub
yeah
you did shagging in the pub
I did a bit of shagging in the pub
oh was this the threesome
you had sex in the pub
yes I did the threesome in the pub
on the bar
threesome with the manager
on the bar
just next to the carling tap
yeah
no
not on the bar
on the freight machine
no now I'm thinking about it on a carpet three years Just next to the carling tap Yeah No Not on the bar On the freight machine No
Now I'm thinking about it
On a carpet
Three years
Yeah
On a carpet
Just on the floor
We didn't roll out a carpet
It wasn't like threesomes going on so much
That we were like break dancers
That brought our own lino
Oh shit
Is there a threesome about to break out
Get the boom box And roll out that old carpet break dancers that brought our own lino oh shiz you're a threesome about to break out
get the boom box and roll out that whole carpet
it was just the carpet of the pub we didn't have a rug did you just lay on the floor
not sick that's mad yeah yeah in my house but i've never lay on the floor of a pub
i don't think i lay on the floor three of us like lying well you've had a threesome in your house no this section's gone to shit no sex in your house sex on the floor in
his house but never in a pub right i i think it's very very very important at this stage just for
your clarity to understand that at this point the pub was shut is that what
you missed not way where in the pub what's the problem your problem is that the floor is dirty
it's i don't know i don't know in what area of the pub in the back there's two bars there's like
the front main bar and around the back there was like a cocktail bar and i seem to remember it was
this is like 2 30 in the morning on some random wednesday night we've been to tokyo you had a threesome on a wednesday
oh my god that's the point where you're like oh i mean fuck anyone on a friday or
absolutely but wednesday threesomes with nightingale what what a life you've led i get
pretty revved up by co-Cola cup fixtures.
God almighty.
Do you not get carpet burns?
No.
No.
I don't know.
It's just a weird... It's just the act of lying on the floor.
I didn't lie down.
The woman was laying on the floor.
You know, do you know?
Two men, another guy.
Yeah.
Yeah. Eiffel Tower. My manager. My manager at the time. men, another guy. Yeah. Yeah.
Eiffel Tower?
My manager.
My manager at the time.
Eiffel Tower?
And his girlfriend.
What?
Yeah.
On a Wednesday?
My Lord.
Oh my God.
I can't believe.
We did this story on a Patreon maybe like nine months ago.
It was a clip?
It went out as a clip?
It went out as a clip it went out as a clip
yeah very popular clip as well and it i just i feel like we're treading on like something we've
talked about before but there was a there was a point that i a lot more detail this time though
you didn't tell us the carpet or the wednesday last time no because a lot of it was in a bed
on a sunday no you spent most of it going incredulous, like, you had a threesome?
You?
Yeah, and at one point,
I can't believe this is a public episode.
At one point, he was on all fours.
He was?
No, she was.
Oh, right.
Again, guys.
And he was getting a blowjob from his missus,
and I was behind. And I was just was getting a blowjob From his missus And I was I was behind
And
And I was just
Giving it
As
Death
I was giving it
As best I could
And I very clearly
Remember
Him going
Like giving me
A little nod
Like doing a cracking
Job there kid
Did you know high five?
No we didn't touch
Each other
That's the Eiffel Tower
Isn't it?
Yeah I know
But we didn't do it.
He just gave me a little nod like,
yeah, you're doing a cracking job.
I was like, I am banging your missus here, mate.
They split up about four weeks later.
Yeah.
Isn't it weird that one of my-
Do you think that was related?
Do you think it was-
Did you switch ends?
I think it-
What, at a hard time?
Did you?
Car like, when did you lie down on the carpet, lad?
Was it a Febreze or what oh my god
did you get any
shaken vac down
you dirty old bastard
so my pub
would be called
Hartley's
put a bow on that one
feels a lot easier
doing those sort of stories
on a Patreon episode
you know
yeah yeah yeah
can I imagine mine
yeah
as I've said before
when he's given me that face
I feel very nervous
because it's one of the rare times
when Adam's going
you sure
you sure
this is going out
I can't believe
how do
I mean
I'm sure we will move on
and we'll have to
but
no you don't have to
how does that begin
at what point
does it
when did it
cross the line
I know the answer to that question
so they'd been sort of
drinking the three of them all night
and then at one point
they jokingly went
oh we're going
I can have a threesome
and he was like
of course we are
yeah yeah yeah
yeah of course
and then they did
so they started the walk back from Tokyo Joes to hartley's is fishergate which is like the main street in
preston and i remember the first like we should have a menage a trois and i was 18 i was like
that's sexy everyone just laughed along and literally we were back the manager got a pint out and then um the girl was
in her knickers and i was like oh this wasn't a joke i didn't do any like i just did that i don't
know if this happens in your life when you're like this is just happening i'm gonna try not
to ruin it and i'll see what happens i said i i didn't do
any yeah i thought you were about to say lunges i thought you were gonna do any lunges i didn't
have time to to stretch yeah yeah no there was no pre-game straight in yeah yeah it was good fun
that was that was uh 1999 i was seven yeah famous one famous one
one
right
it feels weird
talking about a
one year old
in a threesome
conversation
yeah
Adam was 7
and he didn't have
a threesome
for 2 years
but that's
Cardinal Heenan
for you
so
there's a boy
scale as well
do you have any
other words
yeah I have oh my god woo There's a boys' girl as well. Do you have any have-a-words?
Yeah, I have.
Oh, my God.
Woo!
Right.
Let's do this one.
I feel like this is quite up Sean's stream. Oh, no.
Lee says,
Alright, lads.
Only been listening to the pod for a few months now,
but I'm a massive fan of both of you guys
stand up
currently on episode 50
on Apple Podcast
come on fucking Lee
come on
so I'm currently
smashing through
an episode or two a day
I don't know how
anyone does that
at this rate
I should catch up
by mid July
around this time
I should be looking
into starting my dissertation
and all of that
boring uni shit
but I'd like you boys to have a word
with me, my future
self actually. I have an annoying
habit of procrastinating
and spending my most productive hours
playing Xbox when
I could have been doing something more important
I know I just missed it. Xbox?
I hate when I miss it
it's so much pressure reading fucking badly
spelled emails. Xbox? That's not it! What's an Xbox? I hate when I miss so much pressure reading fucking badly spelt emails Xbox
that's not it
what's an Xbox
what's that
I've never heard of an Xbox
you mean Xbox
yes I do
okay
yeah
just Xbox
lying down
on the carpet
fucking weird
I mean I've done it on my
done it in my house
I've laid on my own carpet
when I could have been doing something important
often times I leave my deadlines until the last minute
and I always hate myself afterwards
as I know it's entirely my own fault
motivate me and tell me to get a grip
will be a nice surprise
there's no doubt I will forget I've sent this email
nice one boys keep up the good work
much love from Scotland Lee so lee has been procrastinating he knows he's going to do it with this dissertation
and he wants us to have a word what do you think there sean well well it's quite a lot it's quite
loaded isn't it that yeah that question he leaves everything to last minute yeah and he wants us to
sort of tell him that he shouldn't do that do you often get things done well ahead of time look well first of all he said that he's gonna was he's gonna hate himself yeah but he's gonna hate
himself whatever he does i love it how that's the bit you've picked out but you do don't you just
every you just look back at your former self and go oh god what was was I doing? So that's inevitable.
You can't escape that.
No, but yeah, but after enough time,
but not like, you don't get to July
and look back at May and go,
oh, I was such a cunt two months ago.
There's normally years in that.
I know, I operate on about six months.
Every six months I go, I was such a cunt.
Or 12 hours, often 12 hours ago i was a
yes yeah yeah yeah you don't usually regret the season before the one you're in like oh
i was such a dick in spring
so he uh well i think the the trick is to try and come up with something more important if you can more important and and
and more what's the word that you know it needs to be done immediately more pressing yeah if you
will than your dissertation see if you can find that and if you can find what that is you will procrastinate that
by doing your dissertation yeah that's what i do so so in life right what all you have to do
to get anything done is have something more important that you should be doing wow trick
yourself yeah into doing because you always put the most important thing off because it seems bigger doesn't it
it seems harder to do
even if it's not
just because it's more important
it seems more effort and harder
yeah
so you go
I don't really want to do that
so I'll do the other thing
so you write a list
write dissertation
and you put cure cancer above it
and then you go
ah
cancers
I have a theory that Rome
Rome was just avoiding doing something more important
the whole of the roman empire yeah the right like the rome wasn't built in a day it was like
you've got to do oh uh what's an italian name caesar caesar whatever salad salad
you uh you remember you just did that. Rome, Caesar.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nailed it.
You've got to do that admin.
Yeah.
I'm just going to build Rome instead.
Right.
Yeah.
You think Rome was built because Julius Caesar didn't want to reply?
Didn't want to do something else.
didn't want to reply didn't want to do something else
the only reason
my flat gets cleaned
is because there's something else I've got to be doing
and I apply that to everything in life
so Rome was just a way of going
we could do that
do you know what I better just build that arena
spot on
what was more important than building Rome not more important but that arena. Spot on. Yeah, see?
That's with me.
What was more important
than building Rome?
Well, not more,
all right,
not more important,
but what needed to,
there might have been something
that needed to be done.
Whereas building Rome
didn't need to be done.
It also didn't need to be done.
No.
But it didn't,
did it?
Life was operating
before Rome.
Didn't need it.
But there might have been
something that was
more pressing. Going, I don't know what that there might've been something that was more pressing.
Going, I don't know what that thing would have been.
I'm hoping you would help.
Can you help?
I love how grand you've gone with the example.
I know.
I know.
Every one of us is thinking,
what's bigger than building Rome like 2000 years ago?
It doesn't have to be big,
but it could just be something you don't want to do.
Running an international drug ring.
Tax return. Tax return. drug ring. Tax return.
Tax return.
Build Rome.
Build Rome.
You've got to do your tax return
or we could make some roads.
It's probably lucky that Julius Caesar wasn't like me
because he would have just had a big wank.
Excuse me.
Yes, there you go.
Tax deadline.
I'm like, ah.
Broadbanks.
What can he do then?
That's bigger than a dissertation
get a new girlfriend what get a new girlfriend get a girlfriend pregnant oh one doesn't like
and promise to you know help raise a child and then just don't do that yeah look if he doesn't
drive book it's not more important necessarily but if it's like you book your driving test and
you've got your driving test coming up and you've got to learn how to drive and it's now it's not more important necessarily but if it's like you book your driving test and you've got
your driving test coming up and you've got to learn how to drive and it's now it's coming
closer and you think you fuck i've really got to do that that driving test your dissertation
see it's maybe yeah it's true i'm i'm terrible for the last minute stuff i try not to be but
like last week when it was new material it was monday afternoon i was like i haven't got it all i was meant to pre-book the train tickets to
come here and i didn't and this cost me 94 quid yeah well i mean 25 quid of that was choice wasn't
it 25 quid on top of that oh my god nothing makes me work more than deadlines i'm broke. I can't work without a deadline.
But you still spend the 25 grand. I'm broke, but I'm not sitting with them cunts.
I want to be in Nicolas Cage's seat or nothing.
I'm Nicolas Cage.
I'm more important than Nicolas Cage.
It's the same thing though, isn't it?
Because your priority there should be to look after your bank account. cage i'm more important than nicholas cage it's the same thing though isn't it because your
priority there should be to look after your bank account and instead you've gone no comforts it's
the exact same thing it's the anxiety yeah you're putting the anxiety off to the last minute aren't
you yeah i could buy this train ticket now which is horrendous or i could just leave that until i there's nothing else i could do but i
have to buy the train ticket you know and all you do by buying the train ticket like even if you get
it the same price last minute as you did early on all you're doing by booking it early it's just
taking away that annoying thing to do you're not nothing really changes you still get to the
fucking place if you're an organized person changes you still get to the fucking place
if you're an organized person you go i bought that train ticket pretty much all you've done
is avoid three weeks ago and i'll book the train ticket you lazy shit oh i'll do it i'll do it i'll
do it but it never works like that does it and then even though like i'll be really organized
one time and then two times later i'll be like i didn't do it even though it was so much easier
whenever you do something
and you get something like admin done in life
and you go,
that is how I'm living now.
That is,
I'm going to be like that for the rest.
This is it.
I found it.
Why wasn't I living like this?
I've solved it.
And yeah,
and it just crumbled.
Like that time you did the home,
your homework on Friday evening.
Maybe did it once
In my whole school career
You got home
Went
I'm just gonna get it done
And then
By Friday
7.30
You're like
La la
Yeah
Fuck you
The weekend's mine
You're like
The one I'm worse for
With this
Is putting a wash on
Cause it's a machine
That does it for you
And all I have to do
is go
in you go
and press one button
and I will sit there
and stare at an empty
washing machine
it's just mad
for five hours
being like
I could have got
five washes done
in this time
easily
and I'm just still
I'm literally looking at it
and I'm thinking about
putting clothes in it
but not putting clothes in it taking the know. Not putting clothes in it.
Taking the bins out.
I mean, that's the classic.
Yeah.
When you come back in from taking a bin out,
you feel like you've cleaned London.
Just coming back in like, fucking.
Look at that.
Empty recycling boxes.
Yeah.
He's never felt that feeling.
Like doing the dishes straight after
you've cooked dinner.
Like dinner done,
you've ate,
and you go,
do you know what,
I'll just get these done.
Done.
Or,
without having to ring a Romanian
to come and pick them up.
Goran,
we've got another load for you.
I'm quite bad
for letting my dishes
become so dirty
that I throw them away
and buy new dishes.
What?
Yep.
He also fills his garage up as a bin
and then gets someone to remove the garage.
I live like how I used to live.
I just cleared my house out
and it got to the end of it
and my bin was full and I was just putting stuff in the garage and it was so messy. I just rang a Romanian man and it got to the end of it and my bin was full
and I was just putting stuff in the garage
and it was so messy
I just rang a Romanian man
and he did it for me
I once
right
I
0800
Romanian man
do you ever have this right
I was so
I was
I was
sometimes I can't sleep
because I'm so hungry
you ever have that
but you're so tired
but you can't sleep because you're so hungry so I'm lying in bed and I'm like I'm so hungry you have that but you're so tired but you can't sleep because you're
so hungry so I'm lying in bed and I'm exhausted but I can't sleep because I'm starving so I'm
just gonna have to get the energy to get up and and eat so I can get to sleep so I get up
and all that I've got is um a sort of those Sainsbury's takeaway Indian platters, just some samosas and bargees.
So I put them in the oven and I go back to bed and I wait.
And I'm just exhausted.
Oh, God, I don't know if I can get up to get the bargees.
And it's like, you know, 12 minutes, whatever it is.
So I'm like, right, I'll get up and get the bargees.
So I get up and I get the bargees and the samosas
and I put them on the plate and i i eat them in bed and uh i had a cat at the
time right this is the i think it's kitten at the time so so i'm eating these barges in bed and uh
and the samosas but strangely i then i then fill up quite quickly. Like, I've suddenly become very, like, really,
normally I can get through a lot, but I eat, like, two bargies,
and I'm stuffed just off two bargies.
So I'm like, I can't eat anymore.
I'm exhausted.
So I'm going to put the bargies down.
And then I'm like, oh, fuck, the cat.
I can't put the cat down.
Like, I can't put the food down because I've got the cat.
Cat leader, yeah.
But I'm so tired, I can't get up and put this in the bin.
So I just stuffed the food in my mouth.
And I realised that I was a bin.
What I was doing was not eating.
I was chucking the food away, but in me.
I'm just not enjoying any of this.
But I just can't get up.
That really happened.
I've had the thought
I'm a bin
I've got such a bad
laughter headache
