Now let's crack on.
If you're good at something, never do it for free.
Now, I'm getting the word nuts.
Hey, I'm not doing it for Dan.
I'm not doing it for Carl.
I'm doing it for Finn.
Every day.
Who the fuck is that guy?
Char, upset me, nasty bitch.
Oh, Jesus. Don Oh, jeez.
Don't chat to me!
I can see fumes coming off your pum-pum look like petrol station.
Shut up!
Disgusting!
Coming to you from the soon-to-be world-famous Havawad Studios.
Hidden away in the scenic hills of sunny Runcorn, England.
These are the funniest leads in the podcast game.
Adam Rowe, Dan Nightingale and Sensei Carl
with full HD video episodes on YouTube.
It has to be.
Have a word. What's happening everyone, Adam here.
Just before we start, I've got to let you know
that I am going to be at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival
for three nights only, the 17th, 18th and 19th of August
at the Pleasantance Rear Courtyard
doing a work in progress of my tour show
that I'm taking on tour next year.
If you go to pleasant.co.uk and just search Adam Rowe
or if you just click the link in the YouTube description
or wherever you get your podcasts,
it'll take you to tickets.
Now, because of the way it's set up,
there's only room for 150 people.
A lot of those tickets have already been sold already.
You've got to book in groups of like two, four, six.
They're sold in tables.
If all the tables of two are sold out,
try and get a table of four and bring a couple more mates.
Yeah, if I could do it differently, I would,
but it's nothing to do with me, really.
Please come.
Please come and watch me do some stand-up on the 17th, 18th, and 19th of August
at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Three nights only. No other shows will be added up there.
It's just these three. And I'll see some of you there.
And if you're not coming, fuck you and your whole family.
All right, lads. Before we start this week's episode, I'm here to tell you about our latest sponsor, CoinCorner.com.
Now, they are one of the longest running exchanges for cryptocurrency in Europe.
And they're one of the best ways to buy and sell Bitcoin here in the UK.
If you don't know what Bitcoin is, it's the number one cryptocurrency on the planet.
It's been around for over a decade.
And it's going mainstream.
It's in the news every day.
Celebrities like Tom Brady are tweeting about it.
El Salvador's made it legal tender.
If you want to get involved in the cryptocurrency game,
the best way in our opinion to do that is to go to coincorner.com slash wordpod. You go there,
they know we've sent you. You're getting in the cryptocurrency game. They know we sent you.
Everyone's winning. You're helping our sponsors. They're helping us. That's how the pod game works,
okay? That's what we want you to do. Now, we've got to say this.
When you invest in cryptocurrency,
it's like stocks and shares.
Your capital is at risk.
Don't invest anything you can't afford to lose.
Be safe.
Don't be a fucking dickhead.
Now, let's get back to the pod.
You know, in like those American films when they're in a high school,
but like the actors are not high school kids

You look about five stone lighter, though.

He's a listener to this podcast and he's a GP.
Oh.
And he coached me through some of the- Dr. Canary.
Dr. Canary.
Fucking hell.
With Nurse Pigeon.
Literally, I thought-
Until I had to say it.
I just knew.
That's a perfectly good name.
And he's told me
because I'm tested
well like negative
like four or five
times in a row now
but the cough's
obviously still there
and he's told me
because I'm asthmatic
I might be there
for a while
especially when I'm laughing
this is going to be
a longer pod than usual
you've got a black t-shirt on
Steve Harris
fucking mutley
catch the pigeon

for ten days
Sam
Sam we need to
practise

you're not out of
isolation for five days
get on the dining table
face me at a weird
diagonal and just look off into the distance would you rather you're not you're not out of isolation for five days get on the dining table face me at a weird diagonal
and just look off

would you rather
well welcome back man

it's good to fucking see you
it's good to see Finn
Finn's half asleep
Finnbo Clohissian
my god look at him
great banter
and that's why you've not
got a mic, Finn.
Has COVID made you more dull?
He didn't pass it to me.
I wasn't ready.
But you're all right, COVID kids.
Yeah, it was shite.
Obviously, there was one night that I went to hospital.
So when I first got it, Freddie Quinn said,
a good bit of advice is to get an oximeter.
Yeah.
And, you know, it's that thing that you stick your finger in
when you go to A&E, and they check your heart rate
and your blood oxygen levels.
And he was like, if that drops, then, you know,
it's time to ring an ambulance, or you can just monitor.
If you feel like you're struggling to breathe,
if your oxygen level's sound, you'll calm down.
But you had a good week of it not really being a problem.
You tested positive, and it was a while
and you were like
I'm not deteriorating particularly
yeah
next minute you're like
I didn't want to stress you out lads
but last night
well I coughed up a bit of like
pink
phlegm
mama like that
that could be blood back
and you don't want to be
coughing up blood famously
it's like not ideal
you know
just checking your diet
for beetroot
nah I'm fucked
yeah yeah
and then Tim Canary
said to me
said to me
check your oximeter
and it had gone to like
90%
that's like 10%
lower than
100
Carl can you just
check that
so it was 100
as a seamstress
can you work that out
90% yeah yeah 10% lower so he said to ring paramedics did So it was 100. As a seamstress, can you work that out? 90%.
Yeah, yeah.
10% lower.
So,
he said to ring paramedics.
Did.
They talk about an hour and a half to come
despite saying it'd be a maximum of 45 minutes.
That's twice as long.
Yeah.
Double.
Alright, let's privatise the cunt.
Go on.
I tell you what,
right,
it is something that,
you know,
not a lot of people say out loud,
right?
And it's not the fault of the staff.
The NHS can be a little bit shit sometimes.
Wow.
You've just noticed.
God bless them.
They're trying.
They're trying.
They're trying.
That night was genuinely the worst night of my life.
Wow.
And my mum is dead.
And we need to remember that.
Yeah.
And it was worse in the hospital.
Yeah.
That was a doddle because it was happening to someone else.
It's just me.
It's fucking awful.
Honestly, like, it would have been no less comfortable sleeping on a ladder
compared to the bed that they put me on.
Right.
It was one of those ones that's in, like, a GP surgery,
where it can, like like fold up and whatever
but it's like
it's like sleeping on that
but with like fucking
nuts and bolts
in the middle of it
and
and other people
on the ward
no I was in my own
little sort of cupboard
did you have your own
cupboard
cupboard
Harry Potter
essentially
it was a cupboard
they gave me
they put me on that
and they were like
it's a
five to seven hour wait
and I got really lucky because there was a girl
who recognised me who worked there, the nurse.
Yes, mate, that's what you want.
She come in and she gave me a pillow and a little blankie.
That was like four hours in and took me bloods
and she was like, you are going to be waiting.
Are you in a cupboard at this point?
A cupboard with a bed and a table in it, yeah.
But there's no blankie or pillow?
No.
Right. So I'd been there for like four and a table in it yeah but there's no blankie or pillow no right
so I'd been there
for like four and a half hours
I was so unbelievably
exhausted
but could not sleep
because it was just
impossible
like it was so
unbelievably painful
this bed
and
and COVID makes you
achy and uncomfortable
oh yeah
so she come in at half four
took me bloods
and gave me some
intravenous paracetamol
but then
I was left then
for another like seven hours
like
didn't see a doctor
for a full 12 hours
did you get like
any scram or anything
nothing
like it was awful
and it's just you
because no one's allowed
to be with you
yeah
and at one point
I felt really sorry
for this woman
I told her I needed
the toilet
she had to bring me
a little commode
and I had to poo in it
I had to poo in it.
I had to poo in a bowl.
A bedpan or a commode?
What's the difference?
A commode's like a wheelchair with a hole in it.
A bedpan's...
That one.
You pooed in a commode.
With a little cardboard
poo commode.
But like,
it's so shallow
that I had to like
really pace the poo
because I was like,
if I let this go
at the speed
that I normally let poos go,
I'm going to paint
the whole fucking cupboard disgusting
like it was so shallow if i had just let the ferocity out
why couldn't you go to the toilet because you're not allowed because you got covered
all right you can't be fucking pooing covered all over the hospital. It's true. There's shit everywhere.
Oh my God, it's COVID shit.
You can tell.
Oh, new clean chicken mode.
There's a woman who was really, really rude to me.
And to be honest with you, she kind of deserved it.
I know, but you know, she's cleaning up shit.
She's cleaning up COVID plop.
She's not going to be like,
good morning.
Was she coming,
this was,
she coming to see me?
This is what we play for.
Sorry,
she's coming to see me
at half 10 in the morning.
I've been there since one o'clock.
So this is like nine and a half hours in.
Check that.
Half an hour,
nine and a half hours, yeah.
She's got that checked independently
by a seamstress.
Oh no,
not a seamstress.
And she's coming in she went
she had like a
real sort of
short hair
proper attitude on her
and look I know
they're doing a hard job
I'm not having a go
short hair
God said it all
didn't he
I mean
we're hinting at lesbian
we've not said it
we've not said it
you know
I don't know if
I don't know if they're
allowed to wear
Doc Martens nurses
but this one did
she had a biker, leathers.
In fact, I'm not sure she worked there.
I think she might have just been holding a sandwich box
that Adam shat in, and that explains her mood.
She went, when did you have your chest x-ray?
And I went, I haven't had it yet.
I literally haven't seen a doctor since I got here.
She went, I know.
You're not going to see a doctor till you see a doctor
and I went because I'd lost my patience
at this point so I went I know how seeing doctors
works
1-0
this isn't my
first canary based rodeo
she went
you won't see a doctor till you see a doctor
you can't just turn up at A&E and just get seen.
I wanted to go.
You can.
That's what happens.
Oh, you should have said you'd spoke to the canary.
He doesn't work at that hospital.
You were in a psych ward in five minutes.
Speaking to the canary all night.
He said to come here.
One of our patrons is a canary.
Dr. Canary.
And he said that I'm
alright.
What does she mean? You can't just turn
up at A&E and expect to see a doctor.
Well, it's not going to happen at Halfords, is it
dickhead? Why, you know,
come on.
You can't just turn up
at a swimming bath and expect to get
wet.
Fucking twat.
Now I'm riding on out of here with your poo sample.
Like a nice swimmer.
Right.
Wow.
She sounds like a large twat.
Yeah.
And then I got my chest X-rayed and they basically went.
Are we seeing the end of this podcast
I don't know
by the end of this
Adam's going to be
pooing in a commode
in the corner
yeah
and they went
yeah it's definitely
COVID
and I was like
11 hours for that
how do you know
you don't need
another test
I've got your sample
yeah
not good
in this and then what you got to go on they gave me steroids How do you know? You don't need another test. I've got your sample. Yeah, not good.
In this.
And then what?
You got to go home.
They gave me steroids.
Oh, that's why you're getting fucking jazzed.
Adam, you all right?
I was a COVID fucking nightmare, mate.
Nearly died.
But look at these fucking arms.
And antibiotics.
And sent me home.
Genuinely a bit worried about you.
I don't think you were ready for us having this much fun.
Honestly, I'm glad Sam is not here
to see this because she'd be like,
right, this is over.
Get Mulholland in.
Oh God.
So that was your night in hospital.
Did it just get...
So the night before,
the day before before were you just
getting worse and worse or was your health anxiety kicking in i was fine the only reason laura went
he's had a panic attack he's had a panic he's got he's got in his own head and he's had a panic
attack i was like i sort of thought if you've got the asthma and then the covid and you could sort
of cook yourself into it no i was doing quite well with me health anxiety and stuff and then the COVID and you could sort of cook yourself into it. No, I was doing quite well with my health anxiety and stuff.
And then I just had a really bad coughing fit.
Like most of me coughs have been that.
Right.
And I had this massive coughing fit that, you know,
when you cough so much you throw up.
Yeah.
But I hadn't ate for like two and a half days.
There was nothing to throw up.
You can't get rid of the cough, can you?
It's just like, won't go.
So it was phlegm, but the phlegm was pink,
and I was like, ugh.
Could be heart failure, if anything.
Could be.
That's a heart failure.
It's a big cough.
Yeah.
If you get heart failure, you cough up blood,
and it's pink.
Did Google say that?
Yeah.
Thought so
Now
A word from our new sponsors
Rennie
I'll deal with it
For heart failure
Yeah yeah
I'll deal with it
That's the first thing you think of
This is
Probably heartburn
Have an antacid
Heart failure
Rennie's
I would
I would
If I started having a heart attack I'd be like This is probably just a bit of heartburn would if I started having a heart attack
I'd be like
this is probably just a bit of heartburn
I thought I was having a heart attack
on the way here today
but I just needed a bussy
I was just a bit hungry
well 999
we'll get a meal deal
one of the two
I have to stop at the spa
so how do you get checked out
of the old COVID ward
like what does Sam have to do?
I wasn't on a ward.
I was in one of the cupboards in A&E.
Do they not have a COVID ward?
They might do if you get admitted.
You've got to see a doctor for that.
Properly.
You're in the wrong place for that, kid.
Yeah.
I was just in a cupboard.
Being, like, it wasn't a cupboard.
It was a room.
But it was a small one
that looked like a cupboard
and then
you got out
went home
and then you've gradually
been feeling better
getting hench
on steroids
yeah
watched every Harry Potter
1, 2, 3, 4
all the
yeah
all the numbers
yeah
and feeling good
started
feeling better
feeling alright
yeah it's just a cough
still in my head then
and I'm nervous about coughing around people
because then people are like, has he got COVID?
And I'm like, I haven't.
I've just had it.
And that doesn't calm people down.
That's just people not understanding what's, like,
if you go on the government website,
I would have thought, like, we did it to Lauren Patterson.
She turned up with a cough and we were like,
but if you are genuinely out of isolation
and you've done your time, you're not,
you can't give it anyone. But the cough can linger for ages, can't it?
Yeah.
Let's fucking hope so, because I do not want to go back.
And Finn, I think, is still in there.
Yeah?
I'm just wiped out.
I've not had a cough, really, at all.
I didn't have those symptoms.
I just had, like, flu.
22 years old and it's put you on your
back side. Have you had a
jab? I'd had one jab as well.
Welsh jab.
I'd advise people go and
get vaccinated. Don't.
What do you reckon, Carl?
I reckon it's exacerbated by smoking
jazz cabbage.
Have you been on the marijuana cigarettes?
So I will be honest,
when I was feeding...
Oh, here we go!
When I was feeding...
Disgusting!
Disgusting!
Come on.
When I was feeding a bit lower,
or like just rough,
that was perking me up.
I think anyone that has ever had that before
can probably attest to it
kind of making you feel not there.
So you kind of...
So you had COVID so you had covid you
are i feel shit i'm gonna only one medicine i'm gonna blaze up those were my words to my brother
he was like how long before you blaze and i said i already am i had one in my hand you sound cool
as fuck julie stoned as fuck if he couldn't see that julie you're gonna blaze it's here you and your brother sound
cool as fuck but you both live with your mom in real no no no i texted him all right right yeah
when you're gonna blaze up son you know i'm gonna blaze covid ain't stopping me blazing
smoke weed every day keep it down finn keep it down, Finn! Keep it down. All right.
I don't know what that was, but... Was that meant to be my mum?
Yeah.
I can't do Northweilian.
Northweilian?
Neither can I, really.
That's Northweilian, I think.
Northweilian, yeah.
Is it?
Does Northweilian accent sound like that?
Oh, yeah.
All the farmers, they talk like this.
I can do an impression of Kiri
doing an impression of the people she went to school with. That can do an impression of Kiri doing an impression
of the people she went to school with.
That's it?
That's about right.
That's about right?
Yes.
Do you like smack?
I live in fucking Carnarvon.
Of course I like smack.
I didn't think North Welsh people had much accents, really.
I just thought they were just like, there.
Right.
You know what I mean?
What?
That's just Rhyl.
Rhyl is very it's like
a mongrel town
it's just a bit of
everywhere
so that's kind of
given me this
neutral
nowhere accent
right
but if you keep going
five minutes down the road
you're into full
inbred farmer territory
and they all talk like this
and they all talk like that
that happened in Ballard
actually when I went with Sam
yeah
Ballard
they all talk like that yeah is Aberystwyth a bit more yeah that it's happening in ballard actually when i went with sam yeah they all talk like that yeah is that a bit more uh yeah so because that's west wales in it is that a
bit more singy song it literally gets less nasally the further down the country you go and then you
get to like barry island south south south and then it's gavin and stacy and that's the welsh
impression everyone does yeah yeah and that's the welsh impression i've been doing to north
wailing people i wonder where the to north walian people i wonder
where the last welsh accent is i wonder if there's like a little tiny island between wales and
ireland where there's just like six people with like dead unbelievably sing-songy welsh accents
because you've gone past like there's a welsh community in argentina sorry yeah no we're not
letting that go what did you just say do you think there's an island in between wales and ireland a little
undiscovered who knows if we'll ever how can we know you haven't checked how would we know how
would we know you don't know fucking 50 miles straight of water whether there is an undiscovered
people of half welsh half irish people that have never been passed by one of the 10 million ferries
that have crossed there.
Maybe they just hide when boats are going past
so they don't get seen.
Hide in the water, under the water.
Just quilts.
Fucking hell, boys.
There's a ferry.
Is that your Welsh Irish?
Get in the water, quilt.
Right, do a Welsh Irish right now.
I'd be so fucking great.
I know, that was great.
You could call them Irish. Oh, Jesus, no. I do a Welsh-Irish right now. I'll be so fucking impressed. I know, that was great. You can call them Irish.
Oh, Jesus, no.
I tell you, I can see a boat coming.
It's a beautiful one.
You've just got to change it halfway through the fucking...
Code switch.
Maybe they're getting, like, TV signals
from both Ireland and mainland Britain,
and they're looking at, like, stuff and going,
look, shit, there are the six of us.
We're sound.
We've got a farm.
We've got bread.
We don't need any noise with the farm. Adam, put under it's six of us. We're sound. We've got a farm. We've got bread. We don't need any oil. Always with the farm.
Adam.
That is vital.
Farmers.
Oil.
Farmers.
Small island.
Quilts.
Invisible quilts.
How many Harry Potters did you watch?
How many Harry Potters did you watch?
A whole weird Welsh-Irish fucking...
Quickly, a theory.
I think it's possible.
There might be.
Yeah, could be.
You don't know the Disney
No, I don't
I haven't sailed the Irish Sea more than five times
All of it
Oh no, exactly
You have not done that
No, exactly
God, let's hope they invent some kind of satellite one day
That we'll be able to see the sea
No
I'm not saying we don't know the island's there
I'm saying maybe we just assume it's uninhabited
Right So your version of the lost city Atlantis Is some weird Welsh-Irish farmland No, I'm not saying we don't know the islands there. I'm saying maybe we just assume it's uninhabited.
Right.
So your version of the lost city Atlantis is some weird Welsh-Irish farmland
where they've gone,
fucking hell, let's hide.
We've got great bread.
That sounds about right to me.
Right, it sounds fucking spot on.
Spot on.
Coronavirus has had more side effects
than I think we're giving it credit for.
What? What?
What?
What about the islands between Wales and Ireland?
Dr Canary has given me a prescription of DMT and I've taken it.
Tuck it in a cupboard.
Shat on a wizard.
Oh my God.
We don't know where the last Welsh person is
The last Welsh person
Yeah where does he live
Holyhead
Haverford West
But like
There's gotta be a last one
There's gotta be a famous one
Yeah like the last house
Oh
How annoying would that be
If like it was some guy
Right at the far bit of Haverford West
who had a house
and then some cunt called Rodri was like,
I'm going to fucking move slightly past you.
And you're like, where are you going?
I want to be the last Welshman.
Fuck off.
That's my job.
And then you're just teetering towards the edge.
Do you reckon there's anywhere in the world
where like someone's been born
and they've just got an unexplained accent?
Like let's say there's someone in like
Peru, but they're just got an unexplained accent. Like, let's say there's someone in, like, Peru,
but they're just Italian.
Right.
So their parents are Peruvian.
I mean, could you tell the difference?
Long line of Peruvian.
And then this baby's first wife was just,
oh, it's the meatballs.
Too weird.
Italian-American.
Because that wasn't Italian.
What?
Hey, I'm born in Rome.
Oh!
I got fucking meatballs there
Bellissima
What does that mean
I haven't got a fucking clue
I imagine it's great titties
The first way
There's a question
Oh
You literally did
Joey from Friends
As Italian
Well it's the
The meatballs
With a D
speaking in
English
well I don't know
the Italian
so I can't do that
can I
well you know
one word
bellissimo
fiorentina
that's it
a paolo
di canio
a locatelli
if you say
first words
a paolo
di canio
bonjour
no it's
it's classic isn isn't it?
Whenever you run out of the words of Italian,
like spaghetti, bolognese, pasta, penne arrabbiata, Roberto Baggio.
Good play.
Imagine that.
Right.
Imagine that.
Imagine.
Are you watching that?
But it's like the brain injuries, isn't it?
Or they're the good ones.
They're the great ones.
When someone like falls off a motorcycle.
Do they have to be good at the accent before?
What?
Do you know if you had a brain injury?
You're famously bad at.
No, but I don't think anyone's charting like,
like Susan was in a car crash.
And then when she woke up, she was like,
hello.
I got really bad hair.
Oh, the car just came out of nowhere.
Susan, stop doing that.
You're from Norfolk.
I know.
But now I'm from China.
But she's like, I am from Norfolk.
I'm from Norwich.
But she's doing the Chinese accent.
I don't think anyone would be like, to be fair,
Susan always was shit at the Chinese accent.
And we were like,
stop being racist in this restaurant.
Are you leaving me hanging on this?
Absolute pack of cuffs.
Whoa.
We're not leaving you anywhere.
I'm just trying not to laugh so that I don't cough.
I'm taking it in.
But they do.
They wake up from a trauma,
like a brain injury. and then they've like
yeah chinese foreign accent syndrome what is it what is it called it's called foreign accent
syndrome it actually is called tom sagoda does a great routine about oh yeah amazing yeah it's
called foreign accent syndrome it is uh where the patients develop speech patterns that are perceived
as a foreign accent different to their native accent the one of the patterns that are perceived as a foreign accent, different to their native accent.
The one of the women that you're...
You know that's a real example, the one you're saying?
Yeah, do you know what?
I've seen the Segura bit,
and it's one of those bits that has sort of just, like,
manoeuvred its way to the back of my mind.
And as I was saying that, I was like,
oh, this feels familiar.
But she was from...
Was she English?
It's an Australian lady. Oh, it's English? it's an Australian lady
an Australian lady
but with an Irish accent
yeah but the
English woman
was Chinese
and I've seen the video of her
but it's not just like
because when I first heard of her
I was like
it's obviously just like
damaged their speech
and she says certain things
you know
that sound vaguely like they might be coming from
a chinese person but she's got like the um do you know like the annotations of broken english from
a chinese person yeah like steve mclaren when he got the fc20 job here it is oh my god for newsy
i'm logan tittle a british woman who went to sleep with a migraine woke up feeling like a completely different person.
38-year-old Sarah Caldwell was rushed to the hospital in 2010
because of severe episodic migraines.
During her recovery, she woke up with a Chinese accent.
She literally woke up, opened her mouth,
and it was not her voice that came out.
Oh my God, that is a bit Norfolk, isn't it?
And a 55B sweet and sour chicken, Hong Kong style.
It's just been such a horrible thing to go through.
She was diagnosed with foreign accent syndrome,
a rare neurological condition with no clear cause.
The Inquisitor reports others who have suffered from the same change in voice
had severe migraines.
I don't care about the stats, Plymouth. Talk to her.
Just talk to her.
Interior.
That's so sad.
Oh.
Yeah.
Shut up, Musie.
Come on, woman.
Talk to her. Oh. Oh, French. experienced loss of vocabulary, but Caldwell is not alone in her struggle. 52-year-old Kay Russell, pictured here talking to Caldwell,
woke up with a French accent after suffering a migraine as well.
And singer George Michael says he woke up from a coma with a temporary West Country accent in 2012.
We hear the snippet of it anyway.
Yeah, there is other videos that you can find of her,
but she speaks in broken English.
She doesn't go...
It's not like she's going,
I walk up with a Chinese foreign accent.
She's going, I walk up, Chinese foreign accent.
Like, she misses the syllables and the letter A,
because that's in our alphabet, but not...
In our vernacular, but not theirs.
She misses bits out the Chinese people
would miss out
it's so unbelievably
funny
how long does it last
is it there forever
she's got
it's a brain injury
isn't it
what would you like
to wake up with
if you could
what
if this happened to you
but you could choose
the accent
what accent would you choose
Italian
oh what am I doing here
I'm just following up my
fucking motorbike you call it i think it'd be ideal to just have a different scouse one
let's not upset anybody what what southern scouse what if you woke up sounding a bit
birkenhead you'd be gutted wouldn't you you'd rather be southeast East Asian. Caribbean. Zambian.
Do your Birkinet.
Do your wool.
Do your sort of... It's very hard.
From Birkhead.
Oh, yeah.
Pimbao.
Pimbao.
You would tell her,
like, oh, my God!
I sound terrible,
but at least I don't sound like I'm from Brumbra.
Yeah.
I think it'd be quite funny
to end up
waking up with a
nondescript
accent like that
and just watching
other people deal with me.
Comedian Adam Rowe
was in a cupboard
in a hospital in Liverpool
for over seven hours,
received steroid treatment
for COVID-19
and woke up the next day
speaking in an Indian accent.
We interviewed Adam
at his home
adam thanks for speaking to newsy um has it affected your career at all
some people think i'm taking the piss but i'm not taking the piss i can't help but talk like
this anymore it is very much a problem when i going to shops oh they are looking at me saying this is
not what you sound like your face does not match your voice hey i that i there'd be a lot of jobs
i would no longer go in if i were you like should we just go in that shop on the corner no probably
go to tesco or sainsbury's i'm going to go to a bigger establishment. I'm going to use this as a service checkout.
Adam, we're going for food tonight.
Should we book a restaurant?
What do you fancy?
We'll eat in.
Where do you want to go?
I'm thinking Chinese, Mexican, maybe burger place.
Hey, wow.
Why don't they just put voices on?
Why doesn't she just do an impression
of her old self
that's sort of
an old problem
she's not good
at accents
why doesn't she
just do it
because she'd have
an English accent
with a Chinese twang
which is bananas
I'm not joking
I've never wished
for a brain injury
on someone more
then I'll tell him
why can't I
I don't know what I'm going to do.
But I tell you what, I'm going to have to rewrite the first five minutes of this set.
What's happening, white people?
And with that, let's speak to a sponsor.

Absolutely hounded by the cunts.
Ribbed?
Ribbed.
Oh.
Just because I'm a comedian.
Do you get this?
Do you get this when you're like,
people are like,
he's a comedian
and loves banter
and you're like,
on a family holiday,
on day three of the banter,
like,
I felt like my brother-in-law,
Fraser,
was fucking starting
to get to the point
where I was going to go,
shut the fuck up!
Like,
he was leaning in.
He was just like, you don't do much with a baby, do you?
Laura does a lot, don't you?
Doesn't she?
And I was like, yeah, we've got a little system, you know?
Like I do this and she does that,
but she wants to do most of it because she knows how to do it.
She's got a set way of doing it.
And then it developed to like,
mate, you need to do a bit more with a baby, don't you?
And then it ended on him basically going,
Laura's a single mum. Hard work as a a single mum and it was just starting to and you can't because
you're a comic punches that in you can't as a comic be like shut up hey it's not funny
rig my holiday so he fucked off and then my other brother-in-law turned up and he was and he watches
the pod he's into it and he's like fucking patreon money bags
over here how many fucking patrons you got now and i was like yeah we're doing quite well oh
fucking money bags and i had three days of being called fucking scrooge mcduck so yeah i didn't do
any prep i've been chasing children around a fucking farm in ab in angles your children in Anglesey. Your children? No. No? No, Welsh children.

Finn, famous sex criminal.

Before we do that,
can we have a word with people about this Patreon thing?
Oh, aye.
Right.
Can I just,
can we go good cop, bad cop?
Because I feel like you've been doing a lot of the admin.
Yeah.
And it's been starting to do your editing.
Yeah.
So what Adam's going to do is,
No, no, I'll do it.
Adam will do it. And I'll just, I'll just soften off the edges okay all right so you say what you need to say about the og patreon thank you show august the 15th and i'm just going to try it in the little
breaks just soften off the edges because i've felt via the whatsapp via the email responses
you get in a little bit fucking annoyed it's not that I was getting annoyed, it's just that some of our followers
are thick as pig shit.
But we appreciate them
and we want to keep that Patreon.
Fastest growing Patreon in the UK,
possibly the world,
and we're getting great numbers
and we love you
and want to retain you.
Go on, Ed.
So,
a lot of you are new to the podcast.
If you are an OG,
you'll know.
When we first launched Patreon
back in March 2020,
there was no benefits to signing up.
The only benefit you got was the promise of a free ticket
to a future live thank you show.
Those tickets have...
The ticket link has been sent out
to all eligible bachelors and bachelorettes this week.
So if you have not received an email with that ticket link
and you signed up for Patreon before the end of May 2020,
then email haveawordpod at gmail.com
and just say, I haven't got my ticket link.
Tell us when you signed up, we'll check it.
And if we've missed you off by mistake,
then we'll send you the link.
If you signed up from the 1st of June 2020
up until
right now you're not eligible for one of those free tickets you won't be getting sent a link
but there are going to be some spare tickets for this event and they're going to be on sale
for 15 pounds each on friday the 6th of august at 10 a.m that includes a drink that includes a drink
include everyone who's coming to getting a drink upon entry.
So those tickets will go on sale on Patreon only on Friday,
the 6th of August at 10 a.m.
On the Monday following, if there's any tickets left,
we'll then put them out to the public.
That's what's going to happen.
If one more person emails and goes, I haven't got my ticket link,
I've been signed up for three weeks now, then I'm'm just gonna delete your pledge and block you on every social media you'll never get to listen to the podcast again you're all driving me mad okay but we appreciate you and it's great
being the fastest growing podcast patron in the uk and so stop being a little bit targeted in places
a little bit it's a little bit. Where's my link?
I signed up two days ago.
Why don't I get free ticket?
I'm sending an email.
But we appreciate you.
Thank you.
Thanks for your support.
Just to recap, if you signed up before the end of May 2020.
That's last year.
That's last year.
That's not this year.
Over a year ago.
It's different numbers.
Then you should have a ticket link
and if you don't
you need to email us
before Thursday this week
before Thursday
the 5th of August
because that is when
that ticket link
is going to expire
after that
they're going on sale
to Patreons
and after it's been
on sale to Patreons
it's going on sale
to the Muggles
first person
oh sorry go on
it's not an arbitrary
line in the sand
by the way
because from that point
before that point actually everyone that point, actually,
everyone that signed up from Patreon got an extra episode every week.
There was exclusive content from that point on.
The people who signed up from mid-March through to mid-May,
if they hadn't signed up, that 450, 500 patrons,
if they hadn't signed up, Adam and I would have had to find work.
Like, everyone else i know in the comedy
industry that didn't have some form of like patreon or like support from something else
so many good comics had to hustle and find jobs and then this wouldn't be where it was so if you're
like why do these get a thank you show it's because they kept the fucker afloat, helped us flourish,
and by the middle of the summer...
Out of the goodness of their wallet.
Yeah.
They weren't getting anything for it.
They weren't getting the extra episodes.
They weren't getting early access.
The Patreon structure that's in place now,
that's been in place for a while,
wasn't there when these people supported us.
That's why they're getting free tickets,
and that's what they were always promised.
We love you all.
We really do.
There'll be more thank you shows.
London.
We've got plans to do extra ones here, there and everywhere.
We're not necessarily going to do a tour in the next sort of six months or whatever,
but we might just cherry pick some one-off live shows.
We're also going to put more content on the Patreon.
If you've signed up and you're like,
oh, I feel like I've missed out on the OG thank you show,
there's loads of opportunities coming up to see us live.
At the start of the episode, you saw the Adams at the Edinburgh Festival.
We'll be doing maybe one-man shows.
And then there's extra content going on the Patreon.
We've got the, well, some form of rap battle or roast.
We're going to be developing that.
We've got some maybe recorded shows
that we're going to put up there.
And then maybe later in the year,
locking extra content will be going up there.
But for this one,
it's just a very specific set of criteria
to get the tickets.
And on Sunday the 19th of September,
the Underbelly Festival sales.
The Underbelly Festival in London,
it sold out very quickly the first time we put it on sale.
I believe as of right this second,
there's about 50-60 tickets available
Jesus Christ
if you go to the
Underbelly Festival
website
and search
have a word live
you can book the
remaining tickets
there
can we put a link
to that in the
description on YouTube

yes

fucking welsh farm for it genuinely is go on uh i've got a question who would you put is it weird
that carl isn't reading that from anyone i've got a question. What do you want to do Wednesday? Do you want to get some food?
Who would you put on your comedy
Mount Rushmore?
Oh.
Oh!
Oh!
Four, isn't it?
Um.
Men.
Four heads.
Um.
I'm only missing him out.
Patrice O'Neill.
Right.
Um.
You can have your own one,
Dan, don't worry.
Richard Pryor.
You can tell we're very American-based.
Richard Pryor.
You can tell we're really American-based.
Chappelle now.
Chappelle, okay.
And...
It's a black Rushmore.
And Bill. okay and it's a black rushmore and bill any come on you want to put oh billy red nuts on there for american comics yeah yeah right okay honorary mention andy parsons Andy Parsons. Well, that's very much appreciated, Adam.
Andy Parsons.
I watched it on YouTube.
Someone tagged me in,
and I thought that was a really nice compliment.
Fuck me, that guy.
Andy Parsons, obviously.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean...
He's taking fucking...
He's taking the money for parking.
Yeah. Patrice O'Neill. Richard Pryor. he's taking fucking he's taking the money for parking yeah
Patrice O'Neill, Richard Pryor
I'd have Billy Connolly up there
because for me
without him I don't know where
we are as British comics
I think his influence
is so huge
the audience with Billy Connolly is phenomenal
and some of the stuff
that I saw as a kid
was just before I saw anyone else doing it.
And then you get to watch the old stuff that was fucking amazing.
Him on Parkinson's.
What?
Him on Parkinson's?
Parkinson.
Him.
Oh, dear.
He does have Parkinson's, doesn't he?
Yeah.
No.
Oh dear.
I've made myself sad.
Oh dear.
My Mount Rushmore is just Parkinson's sufferers.
Michael J. Fox.
Michael J. Fox.
Pele?
No, Ali, sorry.
Ali.
Pele?
You fucking hate Pele.
Pele got Parkinson's.
He's claimed all sorts of diseases that he hasn't got.
And goals, cunt.
He's a fraud.
Yeah, I know.
You just have to prod Carl on a few things.
But he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pele, well, fuck off.
So you've got...
Billy Connolly is a master, isn't he?
An absolute master.
Let's twist it then.
Who's on your UK Rushmore?
UK Rushmore.
That's harder.
UK Rushmore.
Connolly's definitely on there.
And are you talking
what you think
everyone would accept?
Because if you do
your own personal Rushmore,
you could be like,
well,
I personally think
Nick Helm is amazing.
Like,
that's not,
that's not valid,
is it? I think you've got to be able to argue that they are not only
big to you, but that they've influenced comedy
enough to be on Rushmore. Right, so
Mount Rushmore is
basically a
side of a mountain that someone's chiseled
in what they perceive
as the four greatest American presidents. So there's
Lincoln, Washington, Obama, Reagan. And Reagan. Is that right? Reagan. I'm Nixon. the four what they perceive as the four greatest American presidents so there's Lincoln Washington
Obama
Reagan
and Reagan
is that right?
Reagan
and Nixon
Nixon's the
I already mentioned
doing the parking
Nixon
and he's taking
the parking money
yeah yeah
is that right?
that seems right
yeah
Jilly Bean
fucking American
I'm gonna google it
just so
Roosevelt
FDR
Do you reckon they'll ever
like change it?
Do you reckon they'll ever
Not Teddy Roosevelt
Franklin
Roosevelt
Washington
Lincoln
and Jefferson
Oh no it is Teddy Roosevelt
Thomas Jefferson's
coming home
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh here we go
Oh Thomas Jefferson
where do you know that from Adam?
Fucking tell me
Tell me where you know it from
Is Hamilton on the wall?
No he's not
Wasn't president
Yeah he wasn't president
He was the fourth
American president
Or was he?
No he fucking wasn't
They fucking built a mountain in it
Do you reckon they'll ever change it?
Do you reckon they'll ever like
Turn one of them into Obama or something?
No Nope Can I just say It looks like Do you reckon they'll ever change it? Do you reckon they'll ever like turn one of them into Obama or something? No.
Nope.
Can I just say,
it looks like Lincoln's like on his own
and then the three are like a deformed,
you know, like the-
That's Tom Selleck.
You just made me stop for a minute.
I'm going to ask,
that's Tom fucking Selleck in the middle, isn't it?
Thomas Jefferson.
No, the one on the right is definitely Lincoln.
Yeah.
The one on the left is textbook George Washington.
Yeah, but the one like third...
That's Tom Selleck.
That's Tom Selleck.
That's Tom Selleck dressed as Dracula.
No, not Dracula, Frankenstein.
And who's that in the middle?
Modric.
That's Luka Modric.
And Luka Modric.
The Americans are like,
fuck Jefferson.
Luka Modric has done such a great job in midfield.
Won the Ballon d'Or?
He did, didn't he?
He won the Ballon d'Or.
Who the fuck is a borderline defensive midfielder
and wins the Ballon d'Or at 32?
Good on her.
Good on you.
Right, so George Washington,
Luka Modric,
Tom Selleck, and Abraham Lincoln.
Walking to a par.
So who's on?
Who's?
You can't unsee it.
George Washington looks like he's just found out
he's pissed off
he's next to Luke
Mondridge
and Tom Selleck
well Washington's
a massive
Barcelona fan
haven't it
right so Connolly's there
who's going here Dan
British comic
nah
this is gonna get
fucking hounded
but I
Billy Connolly
I don't think anyone predates
Billy Connolly in terms of stand up
we're not talking the history of all
comedy are we? We're just talking stand up
so I think Connolly's the
starting point
Victoria Wood?
Yeah maybe
yeah I don't know I never
loved
she was great wasn't she but can't do it I don't know. I never loved... She was great, wasn't she?
Can't do it.
I won't do it.
Yeah.
She was like the only...
I don't know.
She wasn't.
Amazing.
Has COVID made you more retarded?
I can't do it. I can't do it.
I can't do it.
Can't live on an island between Wales and Ireland.
I can't do it.
Can't find the quilt.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, now we're talking.
Now we're talking.
Is Tommy Cooper.
Where's Les Dawson?
Because Les Dawson.
Where's Les Dawson?
Where is he? He's with me right now. the ghost of les dawson when he opens the piano that's fucking
how does he play it
not even a piano does.
John.
So, hang on.
Who's on the Mount Rushmore British stand-up?
Billy Connolly.
Tommy Cooper.
Tommy Cooper.
Sergio Busquets.
Where's Peter Kay?
Is he up there?
He might.
He's up there, but he's being defaced.
Yeah.
By one or the other.
Billy Connolly's leant over and wrote cunt right on his forehead.
I mean, Peter Kay has to be there.
He has to be.
Lee Evans?
Oh, I don't know.
I don't know.
I know he's so loved.
It's a pure stand-up,
don't you?
I know he's so loved,
but I just don't think
it was great stand-up.
I know he was brilliant,
he was popular,
and he had tour after tour
after tour,
but I just don't think
it was brilliant stand-up.
And I know that'll piss people off
because they love him
but
Dave Allen
Irish isn't he
doesn't really count
what about some of the newer
who would you consider
like
Stuart Lee
the era that we're in now
like the last 20 years
sort of
is anyone
it'd take them fucking
three and a half
fucking decades
to finish his face
wouldn't it?
Hey, because his jokes take a while.
Nailed it.
Adam Rowe, ladies and gents,
he's going to be taking the money for parking very soon at the UK stand-up Mount Rushmore.
I think it'd be British, it'd be Connolly,
Victoria Wood, Peter Kay.
I think Peter Kay's lucky to be up there.
No, but in terms of
like not even just
straight stand up
so here's the problem
there's two eras
of stand up here
that we're sort of
merging into each other
there's the original
mainstream stand up
that the alternative
scene sort of
was a sort of like
reaction to
I almost feel like
you'd have to have
like a mate
I don't know
you're getting in the weeds
a bit aren't you
but if you're talking
alternative stand-up
Billy Connolly could be there
if you took
there's people who'd argue
for Alexi Sale
yeah
like for what he did
for alternative comedy
the first campaign
of the store and stuff
I think he's B-side
he's on the back
he's on the back
of the mountain
oh yeah yeah yeah
you see him round the back
doesn't get the sun
eh eh erm ever mention that on this podcast Have you seen round the back? Doesn't get the sun.
Eh?
Eh?
Ever mention that on this podcast?
No, I meant... What, the thing that...
In the sky?
Never!
Don't even look at it!
Especially not without fucking sunglasses.
Yeah, that was good, that.
Yeah.
Hey, Carl.
Yeah?
Great, that, mate.
Do you like that question? Yeah. I mean, someone... Several people have written it in, but I love it how you've gone. I'll good, that. Yeah. Hey, Carl. Yeah? Great, that, mate. Do you like that question?
Yeah.
I mean, someone,
several people have written it in,
but I love it how you've gone.
I'll genuinely have to.
I made it better by making it UK,
but that's what we're here for.
You come with ideas,
and I make them palatable.
Yes.
Next question.
What about a women's Mount Rushmore?
A women's Mount Rushmore?
No, genuinely,
if you were...
Jane MacDonald.
Oh, she's great on Loose Women.
Yeah.
Jane Macdonald.
Oh, do you mean comedians?
Right, yeah.
I thought you just meant the best women.
Oh, the best women.
Jane Macdonald.
Angela Merkel.
Gail Platt off Coddy.
Modric.
Just get Modric to stand in again.
I'm not doing it for Modric Oh god
I don't know
I like Joan Rivers
Definitely
Joan Rivers is up there
She has to be
I fucking love some of Amy Schumer's comedy
I don't
I love some of Amy Schumer's comedy
She likes talking about her vagina a lot doesn't she
Oh I know But that's the thing that everyone points at.
That's almost like the hack response to...
That's almost like the hack thing to say about women comedy, isn't it?
Absolutely, yeah.
Women comedians.
She leans into it a lot.
Ali Wong's fucking great as well.
Yeah, I haven't really watched much of her.
No opinion on women.
It's amazing watching someone pregnant
do two fucking
Netflix specials while
quite heavily pregnant
I just watch my wife
be amazing
I'm just going to speak out loud there
talk and I
is it any harder though?
men will never know, do you know what I mean?
we'll never know how hard it is to stand up pregnant
it might be easier having another person in there,
you're sharing their thoughts with them.
It might make you quicker.
It might give you ideas.
Exactly.
Sorry, what?
Talk about...
Your unborn fetus is inside going,
Adam, have you thought about doing that other joke?
Third joke in.
Thanks, fetus.
Anyway.
Yeah.
Right.
Like, not articulating a particular word, but, like, just, like, a feeling. You might justus. Anyway. Yeah. Like, not articulate in a particular way,
but, like, just, like, a feeling.
You might just be inspired by your baby.
It might be easier to do stand-up while heavily pregnant.
So don't give it any credit without, like, looking into it.
Don't give it any credit.
You know what I mean?
Like, all I'm saying is, she's done two specials like that.
So if it was that hard, wouldn't you just not do the second special while you've... I mean, I'm going to do's done two specials like that so if it was that hard
wouldn't you just
not do the second special
while you've
I mean I'm going to do
the next section
after a KFC
and I'm not sure
how that's going to go
but pregnancy seems
like a fucking doddle
sorry what was that
what should I close on
thank you
have you ever noticed
what it's like
to be in a womb
a uterus
next question
I don't understand
why I think
I just started
saying words
is Finn gone
to get the KFC
oh yeah
there goes
my hero
one more question
yeah
okay
who is your
favourite villain
ooh
so that could be
like film
TV
book
just villain
not real
film or TV
not real villain
like don't say like
Ian Brady
fictional
fictional villain
yeah
who's your favourite
bad guy
yeah
yeah
not just like
murderer of women
and children
no
no
that'd be
that wouldn't be funny
it does well
on other podcasts though
does
yeah
top five who's your Mount Rushmore of women killers no It does well on other podcasts though. Does? Yeah.
Top five.
Who's your Mount Rushmore of women killers?
No, don't answer that.
That was eight.
That wasn't.
Order.
Order.
Adam.
Favorite all-time villain.
What have you watched where you're like,
die, die, you cunt.
Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter.
Oh, she's a... Have you seen Harry Potter?
The what?
Which one?
Four or five?
Is she four?
This is four, isn't it?
It's five.
Five?
Order of the Phoenix.
Yes.
She comes in and takes over Hogwarts and she's there.
I swear to God.
Right?
I swear to God.
Did it impress you again?
Pink handbag.
Yeah. I visualised it
you nailed it
I would happily
happily
if I'd seen that
actress in the streets
right
kicking in the face
what's her name
because she's an absolute
she's like a national treasure
of
British theatre
and film
I'd actually break me real
if I had a machine gun
I'd shoot it in the face
I'd break me no machine guns
for faces, really.
Mochra.
Dolores Umbridge is played by Imelda Staunton.
Imelda Staunton.
Oh, do you know what?
Etta has got a fucking Gruffalo audio CD
that Imelda Staunton narrates.
She fucking murders it. Shit. Really bad. And I've seen Imelda Staunton narrates, you know, she fucking murders it.
Shit.
Really bad.
And I've seen a Melda Staunton in loads.
Right.
But, mate, I'd be supportive.
I'm sure she's lovely, but I wouldn't be able to get past.
If I was walking down Oxford Street in London
and she was walking down,
something would just kick in,
and I'd just be like,
and I'd fly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You'd uppercut yeah 62 year old actress
Imelda Staunton
I'd
I'd
yeah
and when she was
and when she was down
I'd give her a fucking boot
in the ribs
and that's for the fucking
Gruffalo CD
that I don't want to listen to
in the car
yeah
she's 65
she's 65
no she's retired
so that's not
my favourite villain
Harry Potter 5
she is a good
like to be a good villain is to have that reaction from people.
Yeah, but there's also some villains that I quite like
and I end up understanding.
Go on.
Like, I sort of understand Heath Ledger's Joker.
You meant to.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, you relate to him and you're like,
yeah, burn the whole fucking thing to the ground.
No, but he's...
Yeah.
But he's almost like... He's... He is the bad guy. He's to the ground. No, but he's, yeah, but he's almost like,
he's,
he is the bad guy.
He's absolutely the villain,
but he's,
he's a legendary villain because it was such an amazing performance
and the Joker
is always sort of likeable,
isn't he?
Because he's sort of
mentally unstable
and he's funny
and then he's scary.
The anti-hero,
isn't he?
Essentially.
Yeah,
right.
Yeah. It's a weird, God, fucking Heath Ledger's scary. He's the anti-hero, isn't he? Essentially. Yeah, right. Yeah.
It's a weird one.
God fucking Heath Ledger's joke.
But Joaquin Phoenix was also unbelievable at that job.
Yeah.
Like,
phenomenal.
But I don't relate to him in the same way.
No.
That's quite sad,
that one,
isn't it?
Yeah.
I suppose there's the villain where you're like,
I just want you to die.
I remember watching Game of Thrones with Joffrey.
Oh,
yeah.
Is it the kid? Yeah, Joffrey. Oh, yeah. Is it the kid?
Yeah, Joffrey.
When he got, spoiler alert, poisoned,
it was the weirdest thing where you're like,
because by the time you get to series three of Game of Thrones,
you know that people get murked,
and you're like, oh, you almost get this longing,
like, please kill this cunt.
I hate him.
I really hate him.
And then towards the end of that season,
they murk him, and you're like,
and he's a child
he's about 14
as he's dying
you're literally
in your living room
going get the fuck in
he's dead
loved it
Gustavo Fring
that's literally
coming out of my mouth
one of the best villains
Breaking Bad
Chicken Guy
oh he's fucking amazing
at being the bad guy
isn't he
yeah
he's also in
I often
he's also a bad guy
in The Mandalorian
that guy and he's annoying in that I often... He's also a bad guy in The Mandalorian, that guy,
and he's annoying in that.
I often relate to the villains
more than I do the heroes.
Shock.
You blow me away.
Is that what I mean?
Yeah, I do.
Is that what I mean?
Imagine.
Would you agree
that it is very hard
to podcast

there's a KFC in the room?

Like orange juice?
You know what I mean?
Orange whole James Simpson.
I like an orange juice, you know?
Yeah, do you?
Add a bit of it.
Well, I've been sick.
Right.
Been drinking a lot of sugary liquids
To keep any source of calories in my body
Oh god yeah you've got to
Diode of lights
I had a few diode of lights
After every squirty poo
Apparently you meant to have one
But that would have been too much diode of light
How much squirty poo has to come out
Before you have one though
Rob Ball Holland's here
He brought orange juice How much squirty poo has to come out before you have one, though? Rob Ball Holland's here!
He brought orange juice.
I don't know what constitutes a poo, by definition,
and what's the remainder of the last poo.
And what if you get one of those where it's like... He's back, ladies and gents.
He's back.
Do you have any of those where it's like foam?
You know, it's really bad and you're like just shit frog spawn.
No. Shut up. I don't know, it's really bad and you're like just shit frog spawn. No.
I don't know if that's a COVID symptom or just a bad diet thing.
Do you know like...
You're aero shit.
Do you know like...
What's the consistency?
Do you know...
Like a curry sauce from the chippy that you've let go solid
and then you've re-warmed up
and it's got a bit of a skin
yeah
there's a thin bit
that's what it's been like
Jesus
you know what I did Dan
let me just wash this
chitter chatter down
with this refreshing beverage
it's lovely to see you
thanks for coming in
at such short notice
as well
you had an old Rona mate
we've had new Rona
yeah I had Rona Mark 1
back in the day
when we didn't even know
what it was
no medical expert
tell you for defo
it was Rona
you were like
I was really tired
for a week in April
yeah I had a comedian
who used to be a doctor
tell me he thought
it was Rona
that was the best
we could do back then
we didn't have tests
you could shove down your dick
he had to stop
YouTubing
for five
days i remembered i was like rob's at it rob's at it yeah has he been told by a doctor no no
i'm guessing he has been told by a colleague yeah the medical training but like it would have been
weird who was it uh paul sinner right so like he's smart as well he's like you know he's proper
but he'd like you know it was at that point there weren't tests and Ali
Michael J Fox
Rob
that just seems like
I'm being a total prick
about Parkinson's
it absolutely does
but it is a callback
to us talking about Parkinson's
Billy Connolly
being a prick previously
but I was being a prick
yeah
Connolly, Sinner
Michael J Fox
oh yeah
one of them
it's elite to be fair
it is elite group.
Yeah.
But yeah, like, there weren't, you know,
that was the best way we could do it back then.
There weren't tests.
And, like, it would have been weird
if I got wheezy and tired at the start of a pandemic,
you know, and it wasn't it.
Yeah.
Chances are you, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chances are.
Odds are, but, you know, I can't be certain.
But I'm pretty sure I did.
You and I gigged,
you were the last gig I did before the Roams.
Yeah, I think I probably got it there.
And we were like, eh?
Yeah.
In Leeds at that shit club.
I think it's Prism, but I think I got it the week before, right?
Because the week before, you know, it takes like two weeks to come on,
I think of it.
I don't know.
I'm not a scientist.
Don't fucking quote me on that.
Oh, I got it from you then.
No, you got it from him.
Or him.
Or someone.
This is way back
We're talking like last March
Don't get out of breath
Accusing people of giving you Rona
I got it
Two seconds
Two seconds
But yeah
It was when we were gigging
When it was definitely not okay
To be gigging
Like me and Dan
Were in the dressing room
Like oh this is not
We shouldn't be here
So you have to starve
But you were the first person
I ever did the elbow to
Yeah we were little elbows.
We'll do this, that'll protect us.
This feels fun and it got boring quick.
Yeah.
But like the week before that I'd been in Leeds
and it was before anyone knew what the advice was.
And I got home from a gig where I'd shaken maybe 200 people's hands.
Got home to, don't shake people's hands.
I was like, oh.
Were you doing the door that night, yeah?
I was in the cloakroom, mate, taking jesus rob you ripped that gig didn't you long
walk to the fucking dressing room on that one touch me touch me no like because i like in pre
corona times i would i go to the back of a room when i get email signups like um so i would just
chat to people on the way out so i'm just meeting. There was loads of stag do's and that.
I'm like fucking high-fiving people.
And I get home.
On the way home on the radio,
it was like,
the latest advice is don't shake hands.
I was like, oh shit.
But you came in there,
and we're not fucking,
obviously,
he's had the rona,
I had the rona before,
and Finn's still dying.
You came in and we didn't shake hands or anything.
It almost feels like,
it's weird not to do
any gesture what i've noticed recently is we've going to just the fist bump yeah this one has
become very standard we're just going to it because even though it's probably not a good
idea to fist bump feels like you just be like right and then sitting down yeah it's weird
i was kicking people's feet for a while just to do summit. Just like kid and play.
Oh, fuck it.
Oh, did they do that in Japan, did they?
Got to bring that.
I don't know.
I'm just saying.
Just saying we should start bowing.
Rob.
Rob.
He's had a bit of a rib in today.
So that's reaction.
When you were like, oh, I'll go in on Carl.
Carl's like, fuck off.
This is so fun.
We'll bow when you come in for Japan for you.
And now you, it's a silly thing. On the way out, we'll just go, ow! That's a goodbye. We'll bow when you come in for Japan for you and
now you
it's a silly thing
on the way out
we'll just go
ow
that's a goodbye
ow
Adam doesn't know
the difference between
American Italians
and Italians
he's like
if you're born in Rome
ow I'm fucking in Rome here
ow my mama
come on
now I'm going to Jordan
for a gabagool
Cos Bowen's Japanese we could backflip instead.
Could we?
Who do you think can backflip in this fucking room?
We could all backflip.
You cannot backflip.
I can.
You can?
I can.
I don't backflip.
I need a lot of space.
Not in here.
A lot of space.
When was the last time this happened?
Last time I backflipped?
Six weeks ago.
You thought you were doing well?
Yeah. What are we talking
we're talking like a handspring
or straight just from the ground
you jump
have you seen
loo-ah-loo-ah
Rob
you need this
grab it
grab it and bang it
thank you
there you go kid
there you go
satisfying isn't it
it is yeah
sorry I went lefty there
I can do a standing backflip
this is not true
there's no way
your little legs
can get all the way over your head.
I've never seen it.
Has he posted it on Instagram?
Does this look like a man who's seen it?
Do you think Adam would be like,
you know, I post a lot on social media,
but I'm just not going to do that
standing back flip that I can do.
Some things have got to be for me.
I do not believe you have any skill
you have not told everyone about.
I've seen him score a bicycle kick and then go into the corner
and do a standing backflip.
Yeah.
I'm pissed.
I don't know if he's landed perfectly.
Sometimes he's a one foot back.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, I'm taking points off that.
That's a three.
Yeah.
I'm just saying.
I mean, like, like look we can't
there's not enough
room sadly in here
no not enough
we can't
we can't immediately
after the show
if only we had
some sort of like
mobile camera
that could make
like videos
and we could go
outside
yeah
you know
yeah
patreon.com

a backflip
Adam giving
some spinal injuries
if you want to
watch Adam do a backflip it's patreon Adam giving himself spinal injuries. If you want to watch Adam do a backflip,
it's patreon.com.
I mean, it would be quite something to see you backflip.
I am not an agile man.
I'm just too many limbs, man.
You doing the crab could form quite a sturdy bridge over the Mersey.
I'd be challenging the Humber.
Wouldn't I, for length?
Are you going the Mersey flow? I'm going the Mole Holland. I do get a pogoumber. Wouldn't I, for length? Are you going the Mersey flow?
I'm going the Mole Holland.
I do get a pogo stick, don't I?
What?
You need a pogo stick start, like a jump start.
Oh, here we go.
Do you need a trampoline?
Yeah, and a pogo stick.
A trampoline and a pogo stick.
You realise those things aren't going to help each other?
Just going to penetrate the trampoline with your pogo.
No, you haven't seen.
Patreon.com.
For more insane things from the mind of someone
who's got long COVID in his brain.
They do say mental deterioration is a symptom.
I'm on steroids, right?
I'm on steroids for the fucking roller,
and I can backflip
on a pogo
fuck off
I give him three weeks
before he's in hospital
claiming he's Napoleon
in the middle of a game of 40
on a pogo stick
and a trampoline
I've seen him do it
get a pogo stick
out your sock
quite a celebration
worth a yellow card
I think
I did have a pogo stick
when I was a kid
for a bit
yeah
so did I in a dove pogo stick when I was a kid for a bit yeah so did I
in a dovecot
now this story
I believe
did you not have pogo sticks
I'm sorry
I had a pogo stick
yeah
everything I've
everything I've been led to believe
about dovecot
in the early 90s
is everything that I saw
in like
boys
I was three
I was born in 92
alright
sorry
the mid to late 90s god I was way I was born in 92 Alright Sorry The mid to late 90s
God I was way up
Way up
The early 90s Dan
I wasn't on a pogo stick
Until 96
You fucking knob
Yeah you look a dick there Dan
But you make it out like it's fucking
Boys in the hood
Yeah
Yeah just trying to get through the noggy dogs,
the crocky tocks.
Yeah, man's on road on my polo.
The fucking tube root pricks.
I just survived, you know?
A lot of these motherfuckers were mowing each other down.
Have you seen Liverpool Narcos?
Look in the background.
There's fucking four-year-old Adam.
Have you seen the cocaine, the pills episode of Liverpool Narcos? There's a bouncing fucking four-year-old Adam. Have you seen the cocaine, the pills episode of Liverpool Narcos?
There's a bouncing fucking four-year-old in the back,
just doing fucking backflips on a pogo.
What?
What?
What?
What?
That's Adam.
Yeah, that's how he got through.
Never got shot because he couldn't fucking get the aim.
Shoot that motherfucker.
I can't.
He's too bouncy.
You give me that 20 quid for the kettle, lad.
I'll go get it.
Truck dealers delivering on pogo stick.
Get on.
We'll go round the block.
Get on the pogo stick.
With it being Liverpool,
is there like shirtless lads doing it with no hands?
Can you wheelie a pogo stick?
I don't know if you can, but i would love to see one of the proper like you know in the scouse burka you know when it's just like all black north
face like over the face onto there all blacked out pogo stick do you reckon that'll be the olympics
skateboarding and that like what what you know what's the difference fundamentally between skateboarding and pogo sticking?
And jet skiing.
Jet skiing?
Yeah, but that's got an engine in it.
You're powering the pogo yourself.
Don't start him with the Olympics and engines.
He's been here before, Rob.
And rockets.
When are planes in the Olympics?
Why can't I ride Nemesis at Al alton towers in the olympics oh right
imagine i watched the bmx the other day uh yesterday they had the bmx on i'll be honest
never watched it before never given a shit about it pretty fucking fun you they all go around and
like bmx racing that's fun like i i'd like to sit on a pogo stick i hate the skateboarding
like i'm a big fan of skateboarding
I just think it's fucking lame Olympic skateboarding
because for a start you've got to pass a drug test
so none of the good skaters are there
like no one good's there because they'll smoke loads of weed
fair enough that though innit
you can't just make an exception for drugs just for the skateboard
yeah but I feel like you should
I definitely think weed should be exempt
it's not performance enhancing is it
I've said this before
on this podcast,
almost certainly.
They should let everyone
take whatever drugs they want.
That's the real Olympics.
Sochi, 2014.
Yeah, but not performance enhancing drugs.
Only illegal drugs.
So you're allowed
as much cannabis as you want.
You can have whatever you want.
Whatever you want.
That's a genuine level playing field. You want to take Steads? Take them. Don't want to take them? Don want. That's a genuine level playing field.
You want to take steds?
Take them.
Don't want to take them.
Don't.
That's your peak physical fitness.
Lane one, the Kenyan.
Lane two, the Canadian.
Lane three, OD.
Lane four, OD.
Lane five.
Lane five, the cyborg.
That's your risk though, isn't it?
Yeah, but the problem is if everyone's allowed to do it,
you have to do it to compete, isn't it?
If everyone's like roided up, it's not really a choice.
If you're like, well, if you want to be in,
you can be in the Olympics final and run 10 minutes slower than everyone else.
There's still the fucking vanilla, you know, geeky Olympics that we've got now.
Right, right, right.
But just after, like the Paralympics, we've also got the wreckhead Olympics.
I'm up for that.
Paralympics on drugs.
Yeah.
Nope. Carl. Yeah.
Nope.
Carl.
Nope.
See this hot potato?
Yeah.
You can have that back.
Ain't no one picking that one up.
I think it's a really good idea. Don't tell me you wouldn't watch paddling pics on drugs.
How would that look, Carl?
I mean, that's how I watch everything.
No, Rob, Rob, let the camera cut to Carl.
Okay.
How would that look, Carl?
Wheelchair basketball,
everyone's smacked off the tits.
What,
that gets past them
and just bounces
off their face?
watch that.
Smackball.
That's the drugs,
by the way.
That's the drugs
doing that,
yeah.
Goodbye,
my friend.
It's been a nice run.
Rob,
thanks for being here
for the last episode.
glad to be here
for the final one.
Smackball.
Wheelchair smackball.
You would watch that
prime time,
nine o'clock Saturday night.
If you're in a smackhead,
being like,
having like disabled legs
I think would be an advantage
because then you can't feel
where you're stabbing in.
You know when you like
run out of veins in your arms
and you've got to go elsewhere
and they end up
knackering the legs.
If the legs are already full.
They can't get in the Olympics though
yeah well no
because they get
drug tested
or if you remove
that barrier
and all those
smack heads who are
on the streets
doing now
finally they've got
a purpose
now they can be
in the coxless force
and they are quick
as well
some of them are
to the ATM
at midnight
on a Thursday
imagine that
for 100 metres
4 seconds that'd be really funny there's just one ATM To the ATM at midnight on a Thursday. Imagine that for 100 metres. Four seconds.
That'd be really funny.
There's just one ATM
and there's six of them
and it's the first one
to get their full gyro out.
I want to see the Spice 100 metres
and it takes 45 minutes.
But they have to have the event at 10 to midnight.
In very, very late start for the Spice Olympics.
Gyro comes in at midnight.
We've got to make it all the way around the Burger King
and back to the big Primark.
So nervous.
The tension is so rough.
We could have done Smackhead Olympics without the first bit.
We've ended up where we needed to be yeah we got there but we
went a dangerous route oh yeah we took a rocky road yeah i genuinely think let everyone do do
whatever they want but they fucking are anyway there should be several olympics in my house
right so you got the drugs whatever you want that one yeah and you've got the one that they have at
the minute like the regular don't do drugs.
Regular Olympics.
Yeah, and we're going to start testing you properly.
The boring Olympics.
And then the next one down is just us.
So if you've ever competed or shown any interest,
you're not eligible.
And there's another Olympics where they literally just go around the street
and they go, right, you, you're done.
It's like the draft.
Yeah, they just get people off the street and they're just like right you're doing javelin
you're doing shot putt carl you're doing fingers crossed you get gymnastics
just random cunt olympics yeah i've watched that before i watched the proper one so so
your selection for the olympic team is like the postcode lottery yeah right yeah yeah
you don't have to even sign up.
It's not like Geordie Ducey.
It's like conscription.
It's just,
look,
we're going to Olympic war
with fucking Belgium
and you're doing it for us.
Belgium is so good
in the Olympics as well.
Neil,
you've had a letter, love.
You're doing discus in Tokyo.
Just watching some old cunt's hip fly out
as they spin round trying to throw it.
What?
What does it say, Margaret?
You're going.
If only we could have got Captain Tom in the 1500.
Oh, it would have been,
he would have fucking smashed it.
Gone too soon.
Gone too soon.
Hashtag gone way too soon.
Way too soon.
153 years old.
Raised 28 million pounds For charity for just not dying
Then went to the fucking Barbados
To bang hookers
Yeah but can you fucking blame the lad
I hope he fucking had loads of hookers
Good on him
I hope that's how he went
I hope he drowned in pussy
He deserved it
Is that on his death certificate
Drowning pussy I hope he drowned in pussy. He deserved it. Is that the cause of death?
Drown in pussy.
If you drown, do they put...
Couldn't breathe for all the pussy.
I don't know if they put what suffocated you.
I think they just put suffocation.
I don't think they put like ball gag went wrong.
You haven't put what suffocated me.
Was it a pillow or pussy?
Pussy was it?
Drowned in debt.
Or dick.
You know, if Captain Tom was into that,
I don't know.
I don't want to cast aspersions on Captain Tom's sexuality.
You know, whatever he was into, he deserved.
Did he put pillow?
Drowned in pillow?
Yeah.
I don't think you drown in a pillow, though, do you?
You're mad at that.
Unless you've got like a 70s water bed.
Unless your wife is writing
The death certificate
He drowned in a pillow
Honestly and I said
You shouldn't get these 14 tog pillows
Because they're quite heavy
And he insisted on them
And I don't know how I got these scratch marks
Oh she killed him
What?
I get it
Just edit this out
Just want to make sure you know What I was insinuating is that she killed him What? I get it. Just edit this out. Just so,
but just,
just want to make sure,
you know,
what I was insinuating
is that she killed him.
Oh,
with a pillow.
14,
Tog.
Do they not?
So if you just,
like if you drown,
do they just say drowned?
They don't say like drowned
in the sink
or at sea?
I mean,
I definitely don't think
they put drowned in the sink ever.
I don't think that's ever happened.
How does that happen?
An adult.
Let's not do the...
A tragic apple bobbing incident.
Fucking, you trash.
How am I working class with that?
Let's do some apple bobbing.
Outside.
No!
It's raining.
Or it's in the kitchen.
The saddest children's party ever.
I feel like I've definitely bobbed for apples in more
than one sink
like is that
is that council
is that like
yeah
we used to do that
yeah
we used to do
yeah but your council
is fucked
you're not helping
my course
in the bath
yeah it was difficult
going the pogo
but still fucking
made it work
just go on Adam
yeah we used to do it.
My mum used to put like a quid and a 50p and a 10p in the apples
and they were in a bucket and then...
I don't think we had coins in the apples.
I think our treat was a delicious apple.
You can take this one.
You have been on some fucking unbelievable form today.
Your mum got the fruit and jammed coins into the middle.
Not a quid as well.
Yeah.
You could push a penny in or a two.
No.
A quid's too fat to push into an apple.
Not for Anne Rowe, mate.
No.
It used to be.
She inserted a hole into the side of the apple
and then jammed a 50p in there.
She used to get £10 worth of change.
She used to get me to go to the ice cream man
and get £10 worth of different change.
And then she'd put it, that 10 quid was in the whole bowl.
And then me and me mates would compete
for the 10 quid on Halloween.
Yeah.
In the kitchen, in the...
Just in a, it was the same bucket.
It wasn't in the sink.
No, it was in a big...
It was in the plastic sink bucket.
Yeah.
The washing up tub.
The inside sink.
Would you end up in hospital
because you'd all choked on points?
No.
No, you just eat your points.
You just bite in the apple and then you get your apple,
and you're like, what?
Double-edged sword this, because he's had one of his five a day,
but he's eaten my fucking two-pound coin.
It's difficult being a mum, isn't it?
You want him to eat fruit, but not your fucking change.
Yeah.
My mum was gutted one year as well,
because obviously she always wanted me or Jack to win.
There was one with a two-pound coin in it, so she always wanted me or Jack to win. Like, there was one with a £2 coin in it,
so she always wanted me or Jack to win that,
and one of my mates won it, and she was like,
I'm burning, it's got to be £2.
When did the £2 coin come in?
I feel it wasn't around that long, was it?
In Liverpool, 1983.
Yeah, lad, and there's a £3 coin,
and there's a £4.50 coin.
Fucking knobheads.
What do you mean?
It's legal, Tansy!
Off he pogos.
With his weird bag of magic coins.
That's why Adam's wheezing.
It's just like 16p rattling around in his lungs.
What I've just said, by way is 100% true No it's not
You're in a silly mood
It's long Covid
It's made you more ridiculous
There's no way she put a tenner in
There's no way it was a tenner
Honestly I want to get a Ouija board out
What the fuck was that?
What was that?
Swear on your Covid?
I swear on my Rona
I think that was like what you say
when you're going to murder someone in Colombian prison.
Swear on my Pogo.
Like, I believe that she pushed some coins into it.
She'd put a tenner in every year.
Why would you do a tenner for kids?
Just put 5p in, they'll be delighted.
She was a very generous woman.
Because they were hustling.
By the way, can Harry Robinson make the Pogo stick?
Just in case you forgot. He didn't't they're already making a t-shirt
boys on the pogo i did one pogo in the hood we'll work we'll work on that i used to do like i used
to go to like you center where we'd do like apple bobbing and all that remember on halloween right
like what was in the apples nothing just
you got an apple
I never thought
I thought it was
always just an apple
yeah you just win an apple
money in it
no
no
international rules
it's bobbing for apples
yeah
it's not bobbing for
apples and pocket money
exactly
if you bob
if you bob
let it hang
that fucking joke.
I've never known a client.
In Nesbury, you went down to the youth centre to bob for apples.
Go down to youth centre, but after the album opening. Rob grew up in late Victorian Nesbury.
I remember that.
Robbing for apples.
They brought out hot dogs.
They were like, how many hot dogs does everyone want and like one of the like the big hard lad
off my estate was like i want four they were like you can't eat four hot dogs because we're like you
know we're like nine we're little yeah it's like you can't eat four hot dogs it's like better
fucking can right and he's like giving it big licks and because i was like the skinny like weak
like that was the proper little pussy on the estate they were like yeah Rob I bet you a fiver
I could eat all four
because I was like
you're not eating
four hot dogs
I bet you a fiver you can
and that was like
big money for me
then I did not have a fiver
I was like
was he a big
the big bully
what was his name
do you remember
like
Laskal
I think this was
I think
the problem is
there's one of like
three lads it might have been
I think this might have been
Tippy
like shout out Tippy if been Tippy shout out Tippy
if you're watching
shout out Tippy
we're sponsored
a new sponsor today
I think it might have been
but like
there's a few people
it could have been
it's a long time ago
but
it's sort of like
I was press ganged
into this bet
that I didn't want
and then after two hot dogs
he threw up
and then he didn't pay me
so
either Tippy
or maybe Danny
maybe one a year
maybe Craig it's one a year, maybe Craig.
It's one a year.
I was being a fiver.
Sponsored by Craig.
Yeah.
You can't eat two hot dogs.
I know, two hot dogs.
It was fucking pathetic.
Even a nine-year-old,
you've got to be able to get two down,
isn't it?
They used to sell hot dogs
in our school.
Oh, I used to love
Mr. Rogers' shows.
Mr. Rogers,
hot dog 50 pence each,
two for a pound.
Great line.
What?
Did you go to school on a fucking market store? Gaslighter, two for a pound great line what did you go to school
on a fucking market
gaslighter
six for a pound
what did you get
your hot dogs
in a paper bag
they were 50 pence
each or two for a pound
and he did
he actually did a call out
for it
yeah
he stood there
so he was the deputy head
and he stood next to the poor
little shaking
like a shitting dog
dinner lady
Scott's mum
yeah Scott's mum
she's been hurt before they're fucking animals I'm shitting dog dinner lady Scott's mum yeah Scott's mum that's why I got called she's been hurt before
those fucking animals
are not doing it
yeah
so Scott's mum
sold the hot dogs
he was literally stood there
he had a bottle of tomato sauce
in one hand
and a bottle of brown sauce
in the other
he's not lying
who's putting brown sauce
on a nut dog
well it was sausages
on a bar
it wasn't like
brat first
it was just sausages
and so
that wasn't enough
he decided
that he needed to do
like a meat van
advertisement
what are you getting
in this fucking bun
you're not just getting
one bit of meat
you're getting red sauce
you're getting brown sauce
did he have one of those
microphones that goes
over your ear
no he just had a
booming voice
yeah he was
and you'd go over
and that was the joke
sometimes for two quid you'd get four hot like and that was the joke sometimes for two quid
you'd get four hot dogs
but was that a joke
that he did
I assume
yeah
it was a maths joke
oh it was a maths joke
yeah
it wasn't just like
because you can get two for a pound
even without that offer
just pause this
so I can explain it to each other
go on
so they're 50p each
but then
yeah that's this money
times ten
yeah
but usually with 2
for a
it's like a reduced fee
because you're getting more
yeah
but 250p
makes £1
yep
and you're getting 2
alright press go
go on we go again
good luck
yeah yeah
but yeah sometimes
I'd get 4
why were they encouraging
kids to eat hot dogs
I know it was pre
Jamie Oliver
but still
they must have known
it wasn't pre Jamie Oliver
I didn't go to school
with him
alright not pre JamieJamie Oliver existing.
You know what I mean?
Like,
you know,
the Jamie Oliver campaign.
Rob,
you've got to get
when he went to school
very right.
Apparently fucking so.
Was I in school
in 1994?
I went to school in 1996.
Rob.
Fucking pogo nonce.
Scott's my heart.
How many could you eat in a row?
Sausages.
Not in the barn.
That's ridiculous.
Was he eating hot dogs with the bread?
Yeah.
He's a fucking idiot.
You take that every day.
Oh, no, that's easiest.
Oh, yeah.
Mate, you're talking to the two-time
Manchester hot dog eating champion.
No.
What?
I won two hot dog eating competitions in Manchester.
I'll be waiting until ten minutes into the hot dog.
What have you been waiting for?
I've been sitting on this.
I'll hold on to this for later.
Ending the podcast.
By the way.
Oh, yeah.
Tell me a thing about hot dogs. I'm quite the hot dog man myself. ending the podcast by the way oh yeah so let's think about
hot dogs
I'm going to Tokyo
on Tuesday
to represent
Great Britain
yeah you know
Rob Lolland's actually
a stage name
my real name's
Joey Chestnut
is this real
no this is real
I won a lot
at the
at the Deaf Institute
in Manchester
I used to go watch
the Superbowl every year
and they would run
hot dog eating championship
at the Superbowl party at half they would run hot dog eating championship at the Super Bowl party.
Half time.
Half time, and I won it two years running,
because I'm fucking deadly when I get eaten.
How many did you eat?
It was only like two minutes.
I ate six.
With the bread?
Yeah.
What size are we talking?
Sort of like?
Yeah, proper hot dogs like that.
The technique, right?
Because I'd watched the documentary about the competitive eaters,
so I knew the technique. What you do is you whip out two
sausages right you get them out two sausages out of the bun just the sausage then you go
full bugs bunny you put them together and you go and you like chew them so you don't have to chew
it anymore so you push them in chewing like that and then swallow then get your buns you dunk them
in a pint of water and just shove it in and swallow it's horrible
but like
I
oh my god
I was so far ahead
of everyone
I think
the people behind me
had like
one
they'd be like
eating it like
and you dad
soup
but this is
this is ten to two
in the morning
isn't it
this is late on
everyone's a bit pissed
and everyone's like I can't eat it I'll's a bit pissed. Yeah. And everyone's like,
I can't eat it.
I'll have a hot dog.
That'd be nice.
And you've got technique.
And I went full on like,
yeah, yeah.
I didn't come to play.
So you ate six hot dogs.
In like, yeah.
You'd not chewed them properly.
So you've basically got
about three feet
of hot dog meat
sliced up slightly
and swallowed.
Three feet?
Well, I mean.
Yeah, yeah.
When you put those sausages
end to end,
you'll get about that, yeah.
They're about half a foot
of sausage, innit?
Half a foot?
Do you know how big half a...
What?
Six inches?
No way!
A six inch sausage?
I've seen a six inch sausage
in me time.
I actually think my math
was pretty good on that.
I think that was pretty good.
You might be a bit under it,
but like, you know,
you're there or thereabouts.
But the wet bun.
Yeah, the wet buns are it.
You've made bread
more difficult to digest almost.
Maybe to digest, but it's much easier to swallow
because it's not dry.
So you can just hammer it down.
Did you do at school the Jacob's cream cracker challenge?
Yeah.
How many you can eat in a row without a glass of water.
Yeah, it's madness how few it is.
The world record is like six or something in a minute
because it's so hard.
I don't know what it is exactly.
Because it's so fucking dry.
Yeah, it just takes all the moisture out of your mouth.
That's one of those things, isn't it, that I hear
and I'm like, I feel like I could do 25.
Yeah, yeah.
In a minute.
Like, easily though.
Yeah.
It just seems like whoever's had a go
wasn't the best at it
and the people who are meant to do that thing
haven't heard about it yet.
I mean, they literally are the best at it
because they're in the
Guinness Book of Records
yeah but that's only
because no one else
has tried
I think quite a few
people have had a bash
now what Adam means
is I am so great
I am so great
I like crackers
so I think we're
organically
we're organically
finding a bit of a
patron special here
aren't we
the backflip
cream cracker special the challenges we've the the backflip cream cracker special
the challenges
we've got a backflip
and I'll buy a pogo
to see this knobhead
fall off one
what do you think
you could be in the
Guinness Book of Records for
ooh that's a good one
I could eat more
watsuts than anyone else
right
how are we measuring this though
is it
it freaks me out
how he doesn't have to
think about this
I know
that was just there
ready to go wasn wasn't it?
Carl, I've said this to you before a few times on, like, drives.
I am the what's it king.
Brand, only brand.
Brand what's it?
How many do you think you could do?
Packs or individual what's it?
Packs.
Packs in five minutes.
25 gram packs.
Are they 25 gram?
About that?
I could do a full 24 multi-pack in five minutes. No, you couldn't. You've got a one pack in as minutes. 25 gram packs. Are they 25 gram? I could do a full 24 multi-pack in five minutes.
No, you couldn't.
You've got a one pack in as well.
They're staying in,
you're getting a multi-pack
presented to you.
Does that include opening
or are they pre-opened?
I'd say with opening, yeah.
How much saliva
do you think you produce?
You're just like,
I've just got the moistest mouth
in the world.
Is this without...
I'm like a horny Doberman,
especially when there's
watsits involved.
Without a glass of water,
this is just how many-
Without a glass of water.
24 bags of water.
Can someone do the maths on that, please?
It's insane.
The Jacob's Cream Cracker Challenge
is the fact that they're so weirdly fucking flaky and dry,
by the third one, you like yeah like and you just
can't swallow that's a packet of watsits every 12 and a half seconds an entire packet
patreon.com slash have a word pod i'm buying a pogo i'm buying some watsits some crackers
and we're gonna get robbed to backflip 10 minutes i could do it on the pogo stick
dan what do you think
you'd be able to do
to get into the
what am I
what am I particularly
fucking good at
not
I genuinely don't know
that there's any
major skill
that I'm amazing at
for not having got
the confidence
in eating
that he has
the way he just went
what's it
without even
fucking blinking
so the world record
for eating a pack
of what's it's is held by a Ber So, the world record for eating a pack of Watsits
is held by a Birkin head man.
Oh, yes.
Ben ate a pack of Watsits in 33 seconds.
Right, and you're reckoning you could do 24
at an average of 12 seconds a pack?
I'm telling you right now,
without any, without blinking,
I could beat that.
Have we got any Watsits in the studio?
One packet of Watsits.
Oh, come on. Please have a packet of Watsits?
Oh, come on. Please have a packet of Watsits.
Oh, we haven't, you know.
Oh, devastating.
Here's a packet of Quavers, I'll do them instead.
All right, we'll do a test run with Quavers.
It's not the same thing, but you know, it's...
Oh, fuck it.
Quavers? Yeah.
Like that?
Right, hold on, I'll get my stopwatch on.
I think tolerance for drugs back in the day day I could have put in some PB.
But I'm 40 now, I'm like a retired professional.
Back in my mid-twenties, I could have been selected for England.
I believe you, man. I believe you.
The European Championships are in Ibiza every year.
Sorry for the audio.
England would fucking smash that, by the way,
if it was tolerance for drugs as a competition.
We used to chat...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, sweet child of mine.
We used to get munted and challenge each other
to go and do things.
Let's go to the shop.
For the audio listeners, just go to YouTube now,
just for this.
Yeah.
Okay?
So I can crush them?
Right, we're going to have two independent timers.
So what's the record for the what's it?
33 seconds for the first drink away from him.
All right, go on.
I won't touch it until I'm done.
All right, all right.
But I'll need it
When I'm done won't I
Yeah but you've got to
Swallow the first one
So you've got to
Clean your mouth
Before we get any of that
Okay
Alright
I'll start the timer
And you can all follow
Right you count down
Right you ready Adam
Yeah
What's the record
Sorry
33 seconds
This could be a new Guinness
For what's it's
What's it's
33
But Quavers
We don't know if there is one
Don't know
This is a present
Ready
3 2 1 Go Yeah, Watts is 33, but Quaver's... We don't know if there is one. Don't know. This is a present. Ready?
Three, two, one, go.
He started with a crushing technique.
Three seconds of crushing.
I'll be honest, he's on seven seconds.
He's not even had a Quaver.
Right.
Okay.
Right.
Here he goes.
It's not going to matter.
It's not going to matter.
He lost confidence.
Immediately. In 12 seconds.
He put the first bit
of quaver in his mouth
and he's like
I would shit
a fucking 24
multi-pack of Watsit.
Bear in mind Adam.
Come on Adam.
Come on.
Keep going.
You're in the race still.
On your record Adam
you'd have already had
nearly three bags of Watsit.
No laughing's
slowing you down mate.
Don't laugh.
Don't laugh.
I know it's a comedy podcast.
I could have done
this if I went for him.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah nearly.
You're fucking well. He's knobbed you. You've lost the Watsit time anyway. Oh God. it's a comedy podcast. I could have done this if I went for him. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, nearly. You're fucking well.
He's not.
You've lost the what's-it-time anyway.
Oh, God.
It's a different discipline.
This is.
From 42 seconds.
You're not even trying, Adam.
Stop looking at me and focus.
Look in the back.
That's your future.
Eat.
You're a fucking disappointment.
If you're a Chinese quaver athlete, you'd be shot.
Ready?
Come on.

and I reckon you could slash that down.
Now, this is a category where weed is a performance-enhancing drug.
It very much helps me in the hot dog eating.
You know, like, that is a category where...
Oh, were you stoned?
Of course I was.

You smoking the marijuana joints.

put that to one side
Sam
because
I need to
quaver train
you know what's awful
the whole time

what do you think
you might
break a world record
literally the only thing
I can think is
I might
produce the most
jizz
in the world
okay get you
get you
30 seconds.
I don't know how we're going to...
Did you make a lot of cum, yeah?
A lot, like...
He's been spending too much time
with Dr. Canary.
To the extent that
no one I've slept with
hasn't commented on it.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
They always see it
you are loved
they either see or feel it
drowned by
Rob's
jizz
we didn't break up
because we've had
this conversation
on here before
right
like how much
so
like
a 500ml bottle of Evian
empty
I don't think
I'm quite a filly
500ml
he would
dehydrate and die
yeah
half a litre
half a litre
he's a big lad
he's not that big is he
but like
right
don't you come with a teaspoon
yeah well
I don't
I'm like
way more towards a tablespoon
a ladle
I like
you know the big spoon
you serve a roast with
yeah
just like
I jizzed on a girl's face once, right?
And I was at...
She's still cleaning it off.
Well, this is it, man.
She was fully covered and I was still halfway gone.
It was to the extent where I was like,
I just feel bad about this now.
It's just...
I don't think she knew what she was getting herself into.
She started missing on purpose towards the end.
Shouldn't you go in the... Time-wise, how long does it take for you to start on purpose towards the end.
Time-wise,
how long does it take for you to start
and then finish coming?
About three and a half minutes.
I'm joking, I'm joking,
I'm joking, I'm joking.
She has the same orgasm
as a fucking manatee.
Yeah.
No, I don't think
it's that much longer,
but it's a lot of
individual squirts.
Yeah.
Nice.
Yeah. So there you go, there's my world record. I don't know if I can prove it, but it's a lot of individual squirts. Yeah. Nice. Yeah.
So there you go.
There's my world record.
I don't know if I can prove it.
And I think probably someone will beat me.
Do you reckon it's about as much milk
as you put in a cup of tea?
More for me.
I'm from Yorkshire.
We don't take it milky.
Right.
Who's taking this one?
This is so, I mean one it's just so
I mean
it's just so ridiculous
yeah that's
50 mil
oh easy
that's 50 mil
oh easy
you reckon
I'd have a go at it

when you fuck
Romul Holland
you get a lovely gift bag
yeah
and cystitis
yeah and I've made some candles right so Adam's eating Take this home with you. When you fuck Romul Holland, you get a lovely gift bag. Yeah. And cystitis.
Yeah.
And I've made some candles.
Right, so Adam's eating water to the speed of light.
He's jizzing mini Patron bottles.
I'm trying to fill up my fucking jizz
into a fucking measuring jug.
Yeah.
And I'm, yeah.
I'm going to take loads of pills
and try and go and buy
literature at Waterstones
and I think I could pull it off.
You're right,
if you're going to need John Grisham.
Conte.
Yeah, famous Conte.
Famous dickhead.
I don't know if you've ever tried reading on pills,
but it's pretty fucking intense.
Yeah, those words don't stay still, do they?
I had it once where I tried to look at my phone
and I just saw a big, like, pink finger
looking at me,
pointing where I was looking at my phone. If you're wrecked, like, pink finger looking at me, pointing where I was looking.
If you're wrecked, you can't be looking on your phone.
I mean, actual paperwork works.
You're like, this is great.
Yeah.
But I used to be dead good at that,
getting absolutely bollocks and then being able to hold it together
where everyone was like, oh, I'm so wrecked.
I was like, I want to go to the SO garage.
You were definitely good at thinking
you were keeping it together.
Genuinely held it the fuck together. Me and my mate Jill used to go to the Esso garage. You were definitely good at thinking you were keeping it together. Genuinely held it the fuck together.
Me and my mate Jill used to go on little missions
where everyone was like,
messed up.
We were all right.
I think I could put it together.
It's got to be called Jill.
You were at the top of a hill.
Yeah, we went to the top of a hill.
Just after we'd had a pill.
To fetch a pail of...
Jizz.
Rob's jizz.
A pail of jizz. We were rough. No, no. I'm not filling a pail. Thisizz Rob's jizz yeah pail of jizz

no it's not
maybe in my earlier years
you know
I'm in my 30s now
the projectile nature of it
has definitely slowed down
let's stop talking about
Rob's jizz
alright
why am I even here?
You know what I do.
You know what you booked.
I killed Roy Castle when it came to measurement jizz.
Do you want to be a record breaker?
I put an hole in the side of his van.
I'm actually really interested in this.
Sorry, sorry.
Like genuinely, like in the least gay way imaginable i want to see
his come i want to see him come into a cup i mean like there's the adverts gone for this
like the least gay way imaginable to say that is still really fucking gay yeah yeah i know but
no he just wants to see what your producers want to see the actions yeah yeah i don't
fair enough all right you can stay out of it then.
But Studio 2 is a lovely, intimate little room.
It is a nice, calm little room, actually.
I don't think Freddie Quinn would be happy about its second use.
Better than the first one, eh?
I've been on that podcast.
It's mainly my fault.
What a strange time to do an advert for piggottage.
Freddie Quinn's new podcast.
And soon launching is Mulholland's Jizz.
When we're struggling to get guests for it.
It's just going to be me.
And a fucking 500 milliliter bottle of Evian.

This has been so giddy.
Me and him were in a giddy mood and then one of our mates has come in

You just have a dirty willy.
Yeah.
I have not a dirty willy
though,
I do wash it on a daily basis.
That's one of my questions,
what's your favourite cheese?
Knob.
Knob, yeah.
If you could only eat one cheese
for whatever it would be.
If anyone's saying anything
other than mature cheddar,
they're a fucking idiot.
What about red leicester?
Get the fuck,
I want some flavour in my cheese,
you weirdo.
Goat's cheese is my goat.
Goat's cheese?
Fucking fire goat's cheese.
No, no.
Goat's cheese is exactly
who you want to be,
but you're not.
I love goat's cheese.
This is fucking bollocks.
Yeah, you might love it,
but not for everything.
No, you don't love goat's cheese.
You don't.
I absolutely do.
There's no way you would choose it
on a pizza over mozzarella.
There's no way you'd have it on a toast
over cheddar
you're talking
utter
shite
as usual
trying to be different
in your fucking
blue top and all that
you're talking
utter
bollocks
of the highest
fucking order
you just want to be different

bloody lovely last week when uh eshan was in that chair carl got away with saying a few things and
there was a weird gap where it felt like no one spoke did you call yourself a polymath at one
point what did you call yourself possibly yeah it's a polymath at one point? What did you call yourself? Possibly. What's a polymath?
Polymath.
And everyone went, oh, no.
And there was a gap.
A couple of times, there was a gap.
And I literally went, that's where Adam would have ripped Carl a new one.
And it was really reassuring, one week later, to be sat there going,
there you go.
That's the exact moment.
Fuck off, goat cheese, you fucking goatee numbs.
For once, I'm actually with Adam on this, though. No way, if you could only have one cheese for every goat cheese. I didn't say that. I said goat cheese, you fucking goatee numbs. For once, I'm actually with Adam on this though.
No way, if you could only have one cheese-
I didn't say that, I said goat cheese is fire.
Hang on, what was the question you asked?
You said the goat.
It is the goat.
It isn't, you're talking shit.
It's not the best cheese.
It's just not.
Cheese is subjective.
It is, but this is objective.
You're talking shite.
Is goat's cheese the goat of cheese
or are you just a bit like sort of- Do you know what I mean? No, it's not. It's called goat's cheese the goat of cheese or are you just a bit like sort of
is it like
it's called goat's cheese
it would just be cheese
and all the other cheese
would be cow's cheese

you're talking shite
if you're having cheese
on toast

the milk sauce of halloumi
is goat
you can have cheddary pizza what the milk sauce of Halloumi is goat. You can have Cheddar-y pizza.
What?
The milk sauce of Halloumi is goat.
Oh, there we go.
So fuck the audience.
I do kind of like Halloumi.
Oh, there's another goat cheese that you like?
Yeah, but when you say goat cheese,
you don't mean Halloumi, do you?
Fuck off.
It's all the same family.
You mean crumbly white cheese.
Are we falling out about cheese here, guys?
We fucking are.
It's on.

No, I didn't say it was the best.
I just wanted to just talk about cheese I like.
You said-
I didn't say it was the best.
Tell you what can fuck up.
What I talk umbrage with is you said
that goat cheese is your favourite cheese and you're lying.
And I don't know who you think you're lying to
because it's not to us.
What about lying cheese?
We all know you're talking shit. What about lying cheese? I've never had lying cheese. Have you never lying to, because it's not to us. What about lion cheese? What about lion cheese?
I've never had lion's cheese.

What's a polymath?
Someone who's very proficient at, like, everything.
Just knows a bit of everything.

And you've just got the...
It's like Liverpool.

Fuck all gigs.
Yeah, that's the problem.
Not much of a comedy circuit, but lovely walks.
It's all right.
It's one of those places where you need to pipe down a bit,
and your tea's not that good.
From a scouser.
Am I getting this from a fucking scouser?
But we are the best.
Sure. What about if it was

Yeah.
Sucking the milk out
of each other's tits.
Yeah.
Okay, alright.
Now that's fine
concerning adults.
There was just a moment

women playing board
games nursing children.
Two hands. Fucking hell. I'm glad this isn't a goat. a bunch of short-haired women playing board games nursing children two hands
fucking hell i'm glad this isn't a goat fucking hefty
has anyone tried human cheese like like they must have made it someone must have made yeah
yeah people cheese is it actually milk though people cheese what do you mean Is it actually milk, though? People cheese? What do you mean? Is it actually milk that comes...
What do you think it is that's coming out?
Rob Rouse.
It's fucking Yazoo.
I think Rob Rouse has got a bit about
making his wife's breast milk into a cheese.
Right.
Oh, it's quite bland and slightly sweet.
Oh, it is sweet.
So it's like a...
Make a cheesecake, then?
Like a gouda.
Or an emmental.
His joke is, I think making fudge
was going too far.
Like it was just really,
he times it beautifully.
I did not.
Rob Rouse Legend,
that's a brilliant comedian.
Yeah, it's quite sweet.
People also ask on Google,
can a girl produce milk
before marriage?
Only if she's a slag.
FAQs there Well
Like how frequently
Is that being asked
Quite frequently
Well
To make the FAQs
It's got to be relatively frequent
Hasn't it
We've touched on this before
Basically when I
Was breastfed by my wife
And
One of the people on Patreon
Was like
Yes Dan
It's great
Actually
If you induce it from
your girlfriend it
can happen like
apparently
apparently yeah
you can get it
out of there
you can get what
out of there
just milk
cheese
well yeah I
would assume you
could if a baby
can suck it out
like I'm an adult
man I reckon I
could do it
yeah but the
baby's just come
out of the lady
so that's
yeah but there's
no tit in the
womb
that very much depends on how brave you are lady. Yeah, but there's no tit in the womb.
That very much depends on how
brave you are.
There's no
tit in the womb.
He's got two
weeks off of
pent up shit.
Tit in the womb.
Full of
steroids.
Been locked
in a cupboard.
I'm a wizard. it's not wrong you don't know that aj gregson says if you guys could appear on any other podcast what would it be
obviously excluding rogan he's excluded joe rogan all right thank you guys so much for the past
must be 18 months now love your work so if you guys could appear on any, what pods are you into?
Rob, what's your thing?
I think if I could go on anyone, I'd go on the guilty feminist.
I think the last 48 minutes of podcasting might bar you from the...
Hey, hey, hey, hey up, darling.
Do you want to talk about me jizz?
No, no, no.
I brought the Evian bottle.
Look, you can see a little marker where i hit my target last
ladies i've come to park i do feel guilty about this i did i did this on the train
no one i'm not proud of it i'm feeling really bad there will never have had a guiltier guest
They will never have had a guiltier guest.
He's perfect.
He's like, I'm trying to respect you.
The guilty feminist.
I just feel bad.
I don't know, they're quite milky as well.
Oh, God.
I have not downloaded that, Rob.
Have you enjoyed that podcast?
Yeah, let's say, yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah, like, you know, more power to him.
I just thought, you know,
we thought it'd be a funny juxtaposition.
That was all.
Dan, I nearly said it for the comedic
value. I didn't have any follow-up to that.
I just said the name of the podcast.
I don't know anything about it, but, you know, best of luck
to everyone involved. I'd love to go on
like a parenting podcast
and just pretend I've got a child
and just talk about how easy
it is. Right, the lactation special.
They're like, yeah, yeah,
I just let them do whatever they want.
They seem to be doing all right.
She's in the car right now.
They're flying in school.
A's right across the board.
If they want sweets, they get them.
They can have drugs.
I've told them I'm not going to stop them
doing whatever they want.
Seems to be working.
If anything, I'm sleeping more.
Yeah, just drive them mad.
What about the sleepless nights?
Don't know what you're on about, mate.
Just put that Harry Potter on for them.
Fucking knock them out.
Get in that.
Night, night.
Fucking not bad.
Tiny.
Get out.
Choke them out.
I can tell you something I'm never fucking going back on.
I did some talk sport ones over the lockdown i'm not fucking
doing that shit again like it was fucking awful they literally like they uh they give you some
cash so that's nice but they literally tell you your opinion before you go on they go like so
they go like you're gonna argue this and like i had to like argue uh leeds united are a bigger
club than chelsea which is a stupid argument i don't care about. I think it's pointless. You can't measure it. It's a lie as well.
Historically, I even want any metric,
but basically all that happened was I shouted at an idiot
and then I got loads of death threats.
They released it in five parts
and no one was coming out
because my inbox was just full of Chelsea fans.
You've got a bit of a lane going, though,
as the Legionnaire comedian
who can work a camera and stick it on YouTube. It's like you i've seen your stuff it's great and i have no affiliation
to these but you nail it yeah it's just like i just started doing that as a laugh i don't really
want to be a football youtuber at all i just sort of started doing it because it was fun and i don't
think i'll do it forever because i it started to become like making football work which i don't
want it to be football's a laugh for me you know it's my like my hobby so like but I do the odd thing
every now and again
it's a bit of fun
and like
there's a good little like
community of a few people
doing it
so yeah like
that's the same as you innit
you've done a bit of like
yeah
the red men
I stopped
being a wind up
with footy on twitter
because it's just
people are so
with football
they're so
unbelievably
easy to upset
yeah they don't take the nuance or the joke in anything it's just immediately like they can be in the pub with their mates With football, they're so unbelievably easy to upset.
Yeah, they don't take the nuance or the joke in anything.
It's just immediately like... They can be in the pub with their mates,
and their mate might say something far worse than I will about Everton,
for example, and they're like, oh, yeah, what a pint.
Because it's on Twitter and written down,
and from someone they don't know and don't have...
They don't associate being a human with it.
You're just this thing behind the screen that they now hate.
And they'll hate everything you ever do forever.
Because you're one of many football trolls in their mind that have gone before
just fucking niggling, say anything that's annoying.
One of Everton's players last week.
Just been to Anglesey.
Had a run around.
Alleged. Alleged. It hasn't come out yet. It hasn't come out. Oh my God. annoying. One of Everton's players last week just been to Anglesey had a run around alleged alleged
allegedly
it hasn't come out
oh my god
it's been alleged
that he shagged a 15 year old
okay
and then
but she was a prostitute
and he thought she was a prostitute
and then they've gone
ah she's 15
give us millions of pounds
or we'll grass you up
and he's gone
no
I'm not getting blackmailed
that's apparently
what's happened isn't it
apparently
now
allegedly so allegedly and i've said fuck all and that tells you how much
progress i've made yeah that's big of you i've said nothing he's been not isolation with the
roaner with a phone tell you what man if it was a Man U player I would never be off Twitter
I'm like
it would be
constant
is he a non-star
who doesn't think she was 15
I mean look
doesn't matter
in the world of football
it's one of those
where technically
you're in a fever file
if it's like teenagers
but if you're the person
who's making those distinctions
I've sang for years
that Gary Neville
shags his dad
he does that
and I've got a lot less evidence
for that
erm
like allegedly it's imagine what Everton fans would be like I think the devil shags his dad. He does that. And I've got a lot less evidence for that.
Allegedly.
Imagine what Everton fans would be like if it came out,
James Milner done this.
A bit different, isn't it?
No.
Why?
Because he's kind of integral to the club, James Milner.
I mean, he's splitting hairs really a little bit.
Shaqiri.
I don't think we'd be arsed. I wouldn't be arsed.
Oh, fuck off. Can I just say? I'd think we'd be arsed I wouldn't be arsed can I just say
I'd be above it
actually
I'd be above that
as much as I don't
give a fuck
I don't either
are we playing
the game
going through the
squad
who would be
the more obvious
nonce
we literally
started going
through players
Shaqiri
Shaqiri Shaqiri
he's got
he's about the right size
for kids
isn't he
he is yeah
so yeah
that's a tricky one isn't it
because
all are legend as well
yes
yeah
I don't really bother
with the wind up
fussy stuff anymore
yeah no
I try
what
that's proven
in the last five minutes
yeah
do you want us to do
some editing
I still I still way clear of that I don't even mention That's proven in the last five minutes Do you want us to do some editing?
I still I still
Way clearer than that
I don't even mention it
It's a fucking nonce
On my podcast
No but it's different
Again because it's Twitter isn't it
Written down
It's a bit
Like it's detached
But even when like
These are like videos and stuff
And people watching it
Like I said on one of them
I hated Frank Lampard that much
I was glad his goal against Germany
Didn't stand
And like
I got loads of like
Flag shaggers
like
how dare you be
so unpatriotic
about England
and all this
it's like
it happened a decade ago
and I'm clearly
fucking about
tell you what
I got a lot of shit
on Twitter recently
for saying that
I thought Christian
Ericsson was faking
well that will
yeah
that will get
some of that reaction
on it
it was very funny
again
of course it was.
Lad nearly died on the pitch having a heart attack.
It wasn't that.
Mulholland's like, God, everyone's being such pussies about this.
It wasn't as it was happening.
It wasn't as it was happening.
It was well after.
Like, it was weeks after.
Everyone knows he's fucking fine.
And I was just dicking about.
Again, but in someone's feed, if you're in there,
it's not like they're getting comedy, comedy, comedy, comedy, comedy,
and then your joke.
They're getting, like, sport news.
They're mates.
Someone's fucking, and then bang, you're doing a joke.
It's why I don't care.
It's why I don't give a shit about the response,
because it's not real.
It's not about me.
It's not about anything, like, actual.
They're just angry at something they've seen flash upon their face.
The words.
It's the words, and there's nothing behind it.
So, like, the people who are, like, making death threats
because I've said something about Chelsea,
they ain't going to kill me.
They'll fucking come at me.
No, but you know what I mean?
They're just people sat at home mouthing off.
It's not real.
It's all just pantomime, isn't it?
It's horrible, but it's like...
It feels real at the time.
You do have to sort of get to a point.
Me and Carl were talking at one point
about using Studio 2 to start a football thing.
I don't even know how it could work
where one of us doesn't get death threats every week.
You will.
You just will.
If you're talking about football on the internet,
you just will.
I get comments on random videos now.
Everything will be odd, like Chelsea fans.
Chelsea fans in particular have really wound up.
Yes, they'll pop up on everything.
But like, it gives a shit.
Can I just suggest just from a third party,
look, a cheese podcast,
because I think you've got that natural energy.
You know, think about it.
What would we call it?
We'll call it Cheddar's Sound and Goat of Fernandes.
Two knobs, one cheese?
Yeah, there you go.
That's quite got some ominous. Oh yeah. I know. two knobs one cheese yeah there you go mate you
that's quite
got some
ominous
oh yeah
I know
yeah deliberately
a little bit more succinct
than yours though
two knobs two cheese
that's worse
you've made it worse
that's better
so much better
I've got my cum
he's got his
let's talk about cheese
a conversation
that is recorded
and put on YouTube
and in audio platforms about cheese
and an argument with my friend about cheese and nubs.
Jesus Christ.
There you go.
He's back in the game now.
He's back in the game.
Jesus Christ, I've cum.
So AJ Gregson, I'd like to go on the
Jesus Christ, I've cum.
I forgot what we were talking about. That's what happens every single question. I'd go to go on the Jesus Christ I've come I forgot what we were
talking about

Seneca and Sam
tried to take me and Adam
to the strippers
what
remember when
our ladies tried to take us
to the strippers
last week
oh yeah
you trash
go on
no that's not a trash move
that's a sort of like
modern like
yeah no that's a trap
that's what that is
that's a trap
it's like oh we'll go to the strippers
it'll be fun
why are you looking at her
why'd you pick that one
no our girlfriends aren't like that.
No, they get us a dance.
Yeah.
Yeah, if they were like,
if they wanted to,
Seneca had never been in.
And Sam was like, oh, let's go.
But then they were shut.
No, they were like, no.
As in like, no ladies.
My ex-girlfriend got kicked out of a strip club
for touching.
Yeah.
Touching you?
No, like the strippers.
They were like,
they came over to me and they were like,
we never normally have a problem with the women
Yeah she fingered them
I don't know if she fucking slipped a ditch
Straight in
What
That's not anyone's starting point
I love our date nights
Go web
She put a fucking 50p in her like one of your mum's
Fucking bobbing apples
What I was just
trying to tip her
oh my god
fucking two pound
go your nigga
pull her right arm
and see what happens
oh comes your little
pool there's your
four pound fifty
treating a woman
like a big plastic
coke bottle
she's on the pole
fucking rattling
how much last time
you went to strippers
I'm going to put this out there
I think the strippers
is just annoying
yeah it is
let's get turned on
don't touch me tits
don't touch me fanny
you can have a little
smell of it
which fucking
budget
rough as arseholes
Dove got strippers
are you going to
On a Tuesday morning
You can have one
I don't smell it
Oh there I'll add
Don't sniff in the strippers
Well no like
I had a joke
On my first show
Did you just check your phone
Like what
Did you just
No tweets
Fucking psycho
This is the most addicted
To his phone person
I've ever seen
Sniffer stripper
Two seconds
Two seconds
Adam can you do the
The motion of the sniffing
Smell that
Oh
No but let's be real
That's why people are in the strip club
I had a joke on my first show
Which was like
You know if you want to know
Why men go to strip clubs
It's because you can't smell porn
like that's why
that's the difference
isn't it
the thing is
I understand
why the strippers
are like
we're not doing
the ironic couples
thing tonight
oh god
totally
because if there's
a load of businessmen
who are dropping tips
they don't want to see
Serica and Sam
be like
this is fun
you're alright babe I love your heels and there's some guy like it's sort of They don't want to see Serica and Sam be like, I can lose, I can lose. This is fun. You're right, babe.
I love your heels.
And there's some guy like...
It's sort of...
They're the money makers.
The last time I went was when I did the Birmingham Glee.
And you know, the beer company reps,
the Carlsberg rep was in that night with a mate.
And they were obviously on the company credit card.
And they're like, we go to the Glee.
We know all the managers.
And I wanted to go for a beer and the staff weren't up for it sometime. I'd been out boozing with the staff from the company credit card. And they're like, we go to the Glee. We know all the managers. And I wanted to go for a beer
and the staff weren't up for it.
Sometimes I've been out boozing
with the staff from the Birmingham Glee.
So they were like,
oh,
you should go out with like fucking Nobbed
and his mate from Carlsberg.
They're like,
come on,
it's all on us.
We went to one.
We would accept Carlsberg as a sponsor,
by the way.
Well,
we'd love them,
but just like this guy was a bellend.
They were like,
we're going to go to a bars.
We're going to like,
we literally had one drink in the Glee. And then they were like we're gonna go to a bars we're gonna like we literally had one drink
in the glee
and then they were like
ah
should we just go strippers
and
yeah
I used to work with guys like that
in sales
I don't know the guy
I don't know his fucking mate
we've not like
had a night out
and all of a sudden
we're in there
and he's more hammered
than I'd realised
got in
and they were ready
to spend some money
I just wanted to have a beer
and let them
and in my head I was like
maybe we'll go for beers later
and it all just fell off the track
and the girl came over
and was like
would you like a dance
I was like
no I'm alright
I'm here with those two
and they're getting dances
so I'm just going to have a beer
she was like
well why do you come to a strippers
why do you come to this place
and I was like
that always does me
I didn't want to go to a strippers
when they're
like obviously I'm not
I don't know how hard their lives and their jobs are,
but when they come over to you with an attitude,
like,
like,
like I owe them.
Yeah.
But some days I'm in.
I've paid a tenant to get in.
I've paid seven quid for a warm beer.
Fuck off and leave me alone.
I just want to stand here and drink this.
Why you not even want to sniff?
I don't.
Because I don't.
It's Tuesday morning.
It's the sniff zone.
I'm fine.
I just want this shite beer.
I'm here because they sold me this
and nowhere else is still selling it.
Now you, fuck off over there
and dance on some other cunt.
And then you have a little slip yeah
and that's the sound of it
I spoke to a stripper
about Theo Walcott once
in Berlin
and that's all true
yeah his potential
was never quite fulfilled
was it
so we walked in the strippers
and there was about
ten of us
and it was a Scottish girl
and she's like
I spoke to you
oh you're from Liverpool
I was like yeah
and she went
who do you support
I was like Everton and she went walcott like like the only place you
knew how random would that be if she was doing it that's like do you like that she's the one who
do you like this touch do you think he went to the world cup too young do you think eric's
she's 2006. she's the one who bent paul's edward with the mummy thing ah right yeah she's dazed and in sex. She's the one who bent Paul's head with the mummy thing. Ah, right, yeah.
Is she the one that spat in his mouth?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know this story.
Because she spat in his mouth.
Because she was speaking to me for like 10 minutes,
all footy, and she went,
listen to me, are you going to get a dance?
I was like, nah.
And Paul went, I'll have one, and then she changed.
That sums up the difference between you and Paul Smith so much.
She spat in his mouth and went,
mummy fucking, you like that?
And for you, she was like,
Theo Walcott.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She knows her audience isn't it
like he was in his everton kit i was in full heaven boots on
you know why that's believable because he's always in football kit yeah just actually
don't want to dance do i want to game with fucking heads and knees like last christmas i
did a gig in leeds where like the there was a strip club on their Christmas party.
So all the dancers, they were there.
They were all hammered.
I was emceeing, so I'd chat to them,
had a bit of a laugh with them.
And this was when I knew I'd really grown as a person.
And they invited me out afterwards
to a lock-in at the strip club.
And I just went home.
And I was like, that is personal growth.
And I know five years ago, me,
would have fucking hated
this cunt i am now oh okay not a strip club yeah rob what come on yeah that's you don't say no to
a lock-in at a strip i know i did i turned down a lock-in at a strip club mate i don't even like
strip clubs but a lock-in is a magical time i imagine myself in that environment and i know
who i am i cannot be in that environment and come out with it without something bad happening right good day to you yeah it was probably a strip club very quickly
just becomes an orgy surely you know what if i'm involved just getting smashed up in pints of jizz
everywhere that's the eight-year-old boy in your head going just they're gonna turn so on
they've had a long night at work they've been dancing on people and just they're going to turn on this no mate like they've had a long night at
work they've been dancing on people and now they're with their mates and they're like do you
know what i want mate this was their christmas party as well and they were like they were
they were they were very forward these women you know they were these strippers yeah amazing like
it was forward it was like it was one of those where it's like nothing good comes of me going
to that strip club like nothing good
who the fuck is it
they were very bashful
these strippers
oh
would you like to have a
oh no I couldn't possibly
show you my pussy
sniff that
that's what I'm gonna
I'm gonna open a strip club
called sniff that
and Adam teaches them
all the dance.
Sniff but don't touch.
You don't want scratch and sniff.
You don't want to imply that they're itchy.
Do you?
It's not good branding.
Snatch and sniff.
There you go.
Like Fanny.
Do you know what I mean?
Round the back's bum hole.
Isham wasn't this gross
was he
although he did piss
on a police station
Nile says
alright lids
if someone offered you
one million pounds
to live on a liquid
based diet
for the rest of your lives
would you do it
or
stick to your normal diet
and be skint
can I put a roast in it
in a blender
it's gotta be liquid
if you can make it a liquid
I think it's fine
yeah be fine
how much water would you need to put in a roast you could do it with gravy
yeah look you you bring a yorkshire boy on the pod this is what you fucking get
that's a nesbitt smoothie like a lab but you could just like you don't have to put it all in at once
you could just do the potatoes and then you just like there we go liquid potatoes then we meet you know what i mean liquid meat like i oh jesus beautiful
i am a hundred percent saying no to this like no a million's not enough to ruin
yeah millions the rest of my life and like i don't drink anymore i don't smoke but i could
do it food's like my only pleasure left i don't go to fucking strip club parties anymore i don't smoke but I could do it food's like my only pleasure left I don't go to fucking strip club parties anymore
I don't do
I don't have any fun
all I've got is food
don't take that off me
yeah if you abstain from food
I've got nothing left
literally
what have you got
yeah
breathable air
and Evian water
just fucking protein shakes
all day
fuck that
erm
I could
I could do this
I'm such a dickhead with food
only a mil
a million so Christmas day comes I did it for I did it for nearly six months on the Cambridge weight plan I could do this. I'm such a dickhead with food. Only a mil? A million.
So Christmas Day comes and you're exactly fucking...
I did it for nearly six months on the Cambridge weight plan.
The only problem...
Yeah, but then you could...
I was trying to lose weight,
so I was eating food, to be fair.
You can't sustain that, though, forever.
And just liquid, forever.
Do you remember when you...
The thinnest I'd ever been
was when you came to my flat
and we watched the Denver Broncos
play the Panthers
in the Super Bowl.
That night got way out of hand.
And my mate from Newcastle
brought too much Coke down
and I was at the absolute height
of my diet.
And like high grade DJ grade
as well.
So I think I ended up,
I woke up that morning
like skeletal.
That was the lightest
I've ever been.
So this is the problem.
The million pounds would be great
but these liquid diets are seriously, you couldn't do it because you're already oh yeah it fucked me up
like i'm i'm actively trying to gain weight at the moment and like i can't be doing that we're
just fucking liquid what do you mean well you know you can't put weight on no i can but i've got a
like you know i've got to make an effort to do it really you look like a long stee and he's doing
the same yeah let me just notice that because it's the metabolism And he's cunt
Yeah I've got
I started to slow down a bit
Like you know
Now I'm in my 30s
But yeah
I'm just dead long and thin innit
So I like
Yeah
So I'm just fucking
Scranning everything at the moment
Yeah
Short and round
Yeah
Well I'm going to the gym as well
I'm not like just
You know
Just getting fat
That's your problem
You're going to the gym
You're burning your calories off
Are you going to the gym?
I am yeah
Oh my god Who the fuck are you Rob to the gym I am yeah oh my god
who the fuck are you
Rob Mulholland
I know man
times have changed innit
you've changed a lot
there's been a lot of personal growth
I don't like all of it
I know it's weird
it is a bit much
the last three years
it's like chalk and cheese
like pre and post
come on
why mention cheese
don't get him going
only chalk
goats is quite a chalky cheese,
isn't it?
Shall we do a have a word
and get the fuck out of here?
What do you reckon?
You okay?
You good?
Yeah, one more.
Always one more.
It's time to have a word
with Helen and Dan.
Back together.
Yeah, Finn.
Five words, the whole ep.
Thank God he's back. Shut Yeah, Finn. Five words, the whole ep. Thank God he's back.
Shut up, Finn.
Hey, Lids, can you have a word with my neighbours?
Hey, Lids.
Sorry.
Can you have a word with my neighbours or me,
if you think I'm being a dick?
We live in a shitty terrace house in Runcorn,
so paper-thin walls and hearing your neighbours argue is the norm
but one side
we have neighbours
who are constantly
having work done
on the house.
It sounds like they're
going to come through
the fucking walls
and it's always after 5pm
with no heads up
and the other side
I have a neighbour
who has a kid
I can only describe
as the spawn of Satan
who are constantly
having screaming matches
and slamming the door.
The fuckers only seven.
We plan to have a massive house party at the end of the summer
to celebrate all the fuckery of the last year and a half being over,
and we don't know whether to be considerate and let the neighbours know
or fuck them and let it be payback.
For reference, we are only in our 20s,
and the neighbours are in their 40s,
so not old enough that I'd look like I'm being a cunt to old Doris do you know what i mean yes i do uh thanks for the podcast i'm listening to the
podcast so much you're turning this wool accent into a plastic scouser that's from samantha
randalls so it's got knobhead neighbors on either side and relate hard to this one coming i have a
i live in a like a shitty terraced house in manchester and it's like proper
thin walls and i've got like dickhead neighbors so i am on board with this so on one side like um
i've got like for the whole of lockdown there was just like this kid who plays fortnight all day
and just screams constantly all day every day through the wall just hearing that and that's
the first lockdown for the whole first lockdown and on the other side there is this like fucking crazy old guy like the like the oldest dude i've
ever seen he's like so hunched he's now like horizontal like he looks like a fucking set square
like he like waddles around like that coming out to get his paper and he plays the radio at 3 a.m
every night on the news for an hour from three till four every single night
full blast through like and you can just hear it all through the fucking world and turns it off at
four at four it goes off yeah and like it's radio five live because i can hear it i can follow it
along so i've been going insane with these on either side like just for the whole of fucking
lockdown man it's just because you're just caged up inside it you just got dickheads either side
and just getting more and more annoyed but like i think for this person take the high road i reckon
go warn them and then just make a real fucking point of it that you're being better than them
like i was you know i think that's how i'd go with it i don't know like i at this point
if you tell them and they're like i don't think you should do that you're not gonna not have the
party well if they're bellins i think it's carte't think you should do that you're not going to not have the party
if they're bellings
I think it's carte blanche
to just do your fucking party
I think the issue
isn't the party at all
you don't tell them
about the party
you need to sort of
send them threatening letters
in the meantime
okay
like
newspaper cuttings
with pictures of like
dead animals and stuff
and just be like
picture the kids
yeah
just to take photos of the kids? Yeah.
Just to take photos of the kids like walking... When you go sinister, you really find a new like...
Yeah, but like you don't say anything.
You don't make the threat
because then that becomes legal then.
But like you just take a picture of their kid
playing at the end of the street,
post them that with like some newspaper curtains going,
is this little Johnny, is it?
And that's it.
Post them that.
I think that's still
illegal
I feel like this is
still not okay
what would they
hang on
but they'll open
the letter and be like
oh my god little
Johnny's been abducted
and then they're like
oh no he's there
and then you send
another one in a few
days
yeah but how are
they going to know
this is connected
to the noise
what are they going
to do
oh he sent a photo
of me kids
I best turn the
stereo down what the fuck you on about how is it connected well then you is connected to the noise? What are they going to do? Oh, he sent a photo of me kids. I best turn the stereo down.
What the fuck are you on about?
How is it connected?
Well, then you just lean over the fence one day
and just be like,
hey, turn that stereo down
and, you know,
things might get better
and you just let that linger with them.
Fair to say you've not thought this one through
that well.
Something you couldn't say anyway.
Two abduction layers without abduction.
They need to put it together in their head.
You've still got to live
next door to this fucker
after this incident's happened.
Yeah, but now they won't
mess with you
because they'll know
you've got a camera
just before you...
My phone takes pictures
don't fuck with me.
And the printer.
Oh yeah.
And newspapers.
You've got money.
Yeah.
At least 60p a day.
This guy's got a news agent yeah
I like it
make sure you wear gloves
when you do it
so you don't leave any fingerprints
on any of the stuff
I'll tell you like
my strategy for dealing
with the noisy neighbours
was to be a massive fan
and never say out
oh well
you send them up
both threatening letters
from each other
make it look like
no
but you put DNA from each house who's look like no but you you put dna from
each house who's dna testing these fucking letters when they do they're not gonna they'll think it's
two doors down the police don't do a dna test if there's been a fucking stabbing i don't know if
you know but i wonder funded they are they don't do shit they might go private oh you've not lived
in west car west darby csi i said it wrong didn didn't I, Carl? West Darby, it's in Ireland.
Yeah.
Don't even live there.
Fucking bro.
Gutted.
I did once,
I got put in the back of a police van
because we'd been out egging
when I was a teenager.
They put me in the back of a police van
and this copper came up to me
with this egg carton he'd found on the street
and he was like,
is this yours?
I was like, no.
And he goes,
is the DNA test they do going to say different?
