What are you making fucking pasta? I meant black, black pepper. Hey, Barry Black, I got your pepper brew. The best thing to do for
Starting point is 00:03:46 to sneeze is someone to spit and heel kick you in the face i don't think you've any right to talk about needing sneeze you've sounded like you've needed to sneeze since like september last year no one's been here kick me in the face and carl just wants to kick me in the face yeah yeah that's a hell of a patron exclusive i love it I love sneezing sneezing's fire I don't think you've ever sneezed properly I sneeze loads really yeah

She used to get a roll on, so it'd be like one and then another, and she could literally go 10, 15 sneezes, which was just, I remember that on like a bus coming back from town
Starting point is 00:05:57 as a kid going, this is fucking great fun. As people were like, are you all right? She'd be like, like a dump valve on a fucking Vauxhall Nova. Ka-doo. What you're saying is 15 sneezes,
Starting point is 00:06:08 sometimes you watch your nan cum nearly twice. That's exactly what I was saying. And the weird thing is... Multiple orgasms? The weird thing is, even as a kid, that's what I was thinking. That's what I was thinking as a young child, a young innocent child.
Starting point is 00:06:22 I was like, fucking hell, Gran, you're not on holiday. We say bless you for the first one, save you for the second one and I can't afford to. I don't know why. Do you? Who says this?

Starting point is 00:10:36 best things in life are free eh like hepatitis C I'm joking I'm joking enjoy your pasty little bit flaky some of it's pastry some of it's me sorry sorry it's too far that was too far it's one it's one of those songs where
Starting point is 00:10:53 like if you don't think about the lyrics you can be like oh yeah the best things like half free who love and having a piss when you need one but like oh that's true having a piss when you need one is very little cost, unless you're at like a Ponzi railway station where they're like, it's 20p. The best piss in the world is after the cinema when you've held it in for the whole film and you've got like a full ice blast
Starting point is 00:11:15 and a large coke in your bladder. No, but when you need a piss too much, have you ever been on a long drive and you're like, I have needed a piss for the last 25 minutes or something. And you're just like, I can't be arsed. There's no service station. So you get there and then you start weeing
Starting point is 00:11:30 and it's sort of a relief, but your dick's like, I've been holding this in for so long. It doesn't happen. Like it's not the most fun piss. It's slow. It's almost like your dick's going, I'm sorry. I've been holding it in now. I can't release.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Are you at the age where you don't finish a piss in one go? How old's that? Are you coming back at me, bro? This is what it's about, yeah? Bless you, bless me, and bless my fucking family. That's why we say me and Theraker, because we're fucking both gay.
Starting point is 00:11:58 We're from Bristol. That was very West Country. Was it? I was trying to do, yeah, all right, I'll give you that. Bless you, bless me, fuck my life.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Do you know, there is... No, I'm not. Thanks, Carl. She's asking. I don't know what age that is. That's 60. I think I've lost aim of my dick, though.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Aim? Aim with your hand? I'm a bit worried about my aim. I've been in a lot of splash in the last couple of years. Do you aim into the water or onto the porcelain? I've been struggling to hit either. Just a lot lot of like i've just getting a lot of like what's just what's
Starting point is 00:12:30 happened there are you having a good have you must be that easy for you i don't know what's happening it's like my dick's like i know exactly what it is i've got cum stuck in the pipe and it's making it go off it might even be fluff but it's happening a lot it's to the point where i'm like do i need to start doing sit down wheeze more often and that is a point where i could though yeah but you shouldn't need to do it like in in the night have you ever done this when you wake up for a piss in the night especially because we've got kids so you can't be like what you're like banging around you've got to just keep it quite quiet and sometimes putting the light on the landing is too much light the doors are open and it's a problem so i honestly think i know it sounds like i'm an old fucker but sometimes middle of the night if you've
Starting point is 00:13:09 had a beer sit down piss is sort of a safe option am i on my own there yeah or you have to you have to aim at the water so that you can hear that you're hitting the toilet and you're not just pissing all over the floor genuine yeah genuinely it's just i've lost you nodding away there yeah you piss in a plant pot i've been i've been officially you've been cancelled's just i've lost you're not in the way there yeah you piss in a plant pot and i've been i've been officially you've been cancelled i've had a few warnings recently i can't talk about my sex life on episodes even patreon because we've got some dads from to school that are patrons so laura's like i cannot know that i can't handle that and also like that's full warning and she even went you've been better recently
Starting point is 00:13:45 I was like okay she's checking yeah she watches hi babe you alright love you and is that you kissing that arsehole
Starting point is 00:13:53 that I'd love to before bed I'm not allowed to talk about it oh this is a good night this is a quandary isn't it do you need to do
Starting point is 00:14:02 this is a quandary I've been told not to talk about it. But it's come up after comments. I'd love to. I'd literally. I'd snuffle for truffles. Invent a hypothetical girlfriend that you're talking about. Not Laura.
Starting point is 00:14:13 If I was to have. Yeah. Oh, what? If Laura's gone? Anyway, she's Bruce. All right, it's too old now. Leave me, Carl. It's a surname.
Starting point is 00:14:24 It's Fiona Bruce. You can imagine if you're fucking Fiona Bruce imagine the plant pot I'm not allowed to pee in the plant pot anymore
Starting point is 00:14:34 I've had a full yellow card on that that's not allowed anymore so I am trying to get to the bathroom it is a full four metre walk
Starting point is 00:14:42 sometimes I still can't be arsed can you poo in the plant pot still though? Yes, of course. That's just soil. That's just nutrients for the plant, isn't it? Yeah, if anything, it's fertiliser.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Yeah. Take the plant out. Shit underneath it. Another's died! He'd kill plants. I am a little bit worried about my dick aim. I'm worried about my dick aim. Is it because it's small
Starting point is 00:15:05 and it doesn't know what I can't are you holding it yeah but it's just there's a little bit of like sprinkler effect is it like
Starting point is 00:15:12 um soaker on a on a hose are there different things oh you've got the different yeah maybe I just need to
Starting point is 00:15:20 twist my dick do it all comes out like that you need to you need a jet. What's the one that's... Mist. Mist, you don't. Mate, if your dick is doing a mist,
Starting point is 00:15:31 that is genuinely a worry. I mean, you can't be far from death there, can you? Piss and mist. Like you're trying to keep a killer whale cool at fucking SeaWorld. What's that, Shamu? Oh! Why are you pissing on whales?
Starting point is 00:15:50 I'm like, can you understand English? I wonder what they do at SeaWorld. No, they don't. Killer whales don't understand but they know what being pissed on is, don't they? Dolphins understand English, don't they? Do they? Yeah. If they're around it for long enough. They've got their own languages, dolphins.
Starting point is 00:16:07 They can understand language. So if you talk in an English language... The irony of you going, dolphins can speak good words. If you go around the dolphin and they get the words as well. There's some dolphin on fucking formby beach what what dolphins have got names haven't they with each other yeah yeah yeah yeah so if they can
Starting point is 00:16:34 understand that then they can also understand any language so if you take a dolphin yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah in bootle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Put it in bootle. Yeah, it'll be a Scouse Dolphin. A bootle-ed Dolphin. A bootle-ed Dolphin. Dolphin turns up in Hugo Boss. Dolphin 260. Imagine a bootle-ed Dolphin. A bootle-ed Dolphin.
Starting point is 00:16:57 But like, they won't necessarily be able to talk because they haven't got the same vocal cords. Oh, they won't. Yeah, yeah, but they'll be able to nod. The Dolphin's not gonna be there. Like, what's happening? But if you go, what's happening? The Dolphin will put its fin up and be like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they'll be able to nod. The dolphin's not going to be there. Like what's happening? But if you go, what's happening? The dolphin will put its fin up and be like. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Have you had a good day? Yeah, he's had a good day. Some scran. What have they had? Right. See what I was doing? What I was doing? Cause you know, dolphins do that nodding thing,
Starting point is 00:17:20 but they don't go, nah lad. They haven't been trained to. Oh right, they haven't been trained to. One of his hands was doing that. No, nah lad. They haven't been trained to. Oh right, they haven't been trained to. One of his hands was doing that. One of his hands. You know, fish hands.
Starting point is 00:17:32 He's got fins, hasn't he? They've got like- Selfie. Finn the producer. Cause we haven't actually got fins like a dorsal fin, but we've got got Nah, come on They've only got little ones But like
Starting point is 00:17:47 You're a character Dorsals on a back I reckon you could teach a dolphin To wave at you Or sign language A dolphin with sign language Do you do wave? Hang on
Starting point is 00:17:54 Yeah, of course, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah But you They have taught Dolphins to wave, haven't they? At SeaWorld and shit Yeah So they could do that then
Starting point is 00:18:02 So they could do that then They could be like I'm on I'm full I don't disagree with anything apart from you going if you just talk around it enough like you're like
Starting point is 00:18:12 yeah if you literally stood next to dolphins going love to fucking like stick my dick in a dolphin's blow hole the dolphin would be like
Starting point is 00:18:18 say what no you'd have to teach it in a school you'd have to a school of fish Well done everyone Well done for letting that hang Just to hear his little smirk of regret Have you been to SeaWorld?
Starting point is 00:18:44 What? Have you been to SeaWorld what have you been to SeaWorld I went to SeaWorld in Florida when I was a kid I've been to Carl's to see his mum which is a whale
Starting point is 00:18:52 what have I done this morning no that for me was it's 2-0 with you and me Carl and that's the end
Starting point is 00:18:58 of it what's my score draw she is she isn't she 4-1 I went to it uncomfortable the the heavy mum jokes make you uncomfortable oh no I'm used to them now I'm used you know the only thing is I just worry that someone who loved my mum listens I don't if they're still fucking listening it's their fault I mean if you're like i can't believe that you said that about
Starting point is 00:19:25 dan's mum if you're still listening to these this fucking banter it's basically you know self-harm at this stage i think all of our listeners have a sort of accumulated naturally through other listeners recommending it to people who they know will enjoy the horrendous shit we say and that's why we mentioned it a couple of weeks ago. We got a lot of messages because there's the National Comedy Awards and we weren't nominated for Best Podcast. And I'm actually sort of happy.
Starting point is 00:19:51 First of all, it keeps us independent and no one's given us everything and we've built everything on our own, which is fucking phenomenal. But also, we don't get that sort of random, ah, I'll give that thing a listen that I know nothing about because there's going to be people who do that and hear this stuff and be like what the fuck is going on yeah and you know
Starting point is 00:20:10 what what i love about that is we we will have that all the time yeah people will see us we were number one in the podcast charts people will recommend it to more than one friend and some people will listen and be like yeah it's not kind kind of not my thing. And then they'll not download it again and go about their lives like fucking grown-ups. But the more people that go, oh, the Guardian are featured, have a word, and the more enchanted they'll be, this is not my humour.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Fuck the Guardian. You should never threaten to stick your penis in a dolphin's blowhole. Fucking bore off. Tweet about it. Just delete it and fucking jog on. Yeah, fucking negative YouTube comments as well. That is how dolphins have sex, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:20:54 No, that's a blowjob, isn't it? No, the mouth would be a blowjob, wouldn't it? A blowhole job. So hard to talk about dolphins and not talk about rape. Why? Because they're rapey, aren't they? Oh, do you like pack shag yeah like my lads i wish ishan was here for that fucking hey what it's bad it's bad that you said that type of shag in my way it was like ah ishan
Starting point is 00:21:16 you could really help us make that joke funnier it's mad how like good whoever did the pr for dolphins smashed it didn't they because like swimming with dolphins is like lifelong goal when in the in in reality they're rapists and they beat up sharks what smaller sharks not big sharks no dolphins beat the shit out of sharks not great whites great whites no yeah i thought great whites were like the cock of the sea. Dolphins are hard as fuck. No. But they work in... Great whites are bullies.
Starting point is 00:21:50 That's what great whites are. Great whites pick on things that they know they can fucking just eat, like humans and crabs. So we really see his research coming through. Sharks are afraid of dolphins. See? Dolphins are mammals that live in pods and are very clever. They know how to protect themselves.
Starting point is 00:22:07 When they see an aggressive shark, they immediately attack it with the whole pod. This is why sharks avoid pods of dolphins. Right, because there's basically, there's a gang, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:22:17 It's hit them early, isn't it? Let them know you're there. Because shark, great white sharks, by the way, now, we have teetered into, I actually love marine life
Starting point is 00:22:27 and I did zoology at university. We've got that commenter there on YouTube. See that? Please don't comment knowledge. Not interested. Comment jokes. I actually work with sharks. Actually,
Starting point is 00:22:39 we lost two dolphins to blowhole rape last year. I was recommending this part project from The Guardian. I've even got a laptop. That's the teaser. So great wikes are like, they don't, they're just always on their own, aren't they? Great wikes are,
Starting point is 00:23:01 I don't think they fuck around with their mates. Very solitary. Tiger Shark sharks got loads of mates tiger sharks like fam i grew up with you and i've known you since the in the ends back in the days mate yeah been tiger sharking around the ends move food in ends and that's the meaning of bone straw um what if great whites are actually just dead sound and no one's like just back because they've got no mates like no one's like sort of hyping them up yeah i think it's just because they keep biting things in half in it yeah but do you know is it just what just because they're lonely you ever
Starting point is 00:23:28 seen that happen with your own eyes or was it in a conspiracy yeah well i mean at that point jaws was propaganda yeah yeah dolphin propaganda that was made by a lot of dolphins so so dolphins are in pods but orcas now they're classic bad pr or Orcas, we talked about a few weeks ago, literally got called killer whales. They're terrible PR, aren't they? They're called orcas. Orcas are killer whales. They're naughty as well.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I thought that was people who see the future, but that's oracles, isn't it? It's different. It's different. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You very rarely see a pod of oracles trying to eat a sea lion.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Where's that sea lion going? Jill? Over there. Fucking clever these oracles, aren't they? That's how they hunt.
Starting point is 00:24:23 They see the future. Fucking hell, we better chase after him. Nah, nah. He did it. He's going to bear left. We'll just go over there. that's how they hunt they see the future fucking hell we better chase after him nah nah he's gonna bear left we'll just go over there yeah Shamu
Starting point is 00:24:36 Shamu you don't believe in anything like that do you you don't believe anyone can see the future nope neither human nor orca telepathic orca heroes in a half shell and fish going come by the way that would be a great great Disney film what the telepathic orca pitch it
Starting point is 00:25:10 hey you're getting some telly now Adam's gonna meet it with Disney listen either the telepathic orca or Jimmy

I don't think this is going to work, Adam. Don't worry. Set him boots up. He's grown up. Got kicked out of school for being a fucking dolphin.

Yeah, they people have predicted stuff before, and it's come true, so... Yeah, but... Throw enough shit against the wall... Anyone can predict anything. Yeah, they can, yeah. Doesn't mean it's real.

Starting point is 00:29:26 he predicted. What? He predicted the Great War. So he lived in 1555 in France, in Paris. It was all built by wood and there was London,
Starting point is 00:29:35 one of the other major cities in Europe, all built of wood and he was like, I think there could be a fire. I also don't respect that as a prediction because he could have
Starting point is 00:29:44 started the fire. It was 150 years later. He didn't start the fire. You don't know that as a prediction because he could have started the fire it was 150 he didn't start the fire you don't know that it was always burning since the world's been turning he predicted billy joel is that song about him yeah yeah it is yeah yeah yeah it's about the hunchback of not to dance Billy Trump it's so stupid it's giving me so he predicted the fire in London

Several of the same sect will be killed. Yeah. Right. I don't respect any prediction. I was bob on with all of that money. I don't respect any prediction that you can have an influence on.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Like, I could predict that I'm about to slap the table and go, that's what I'm fucking impressing myself. 140 years later, how the fuck could he have started the fire? He could have told his grandson to do it. He predicted the coming of Hitler. Did he? What did he say? This German nonce
Starting point is 00:30:46 With a bad haircut From the death of Western Europe A young child Born of poor people He'll be naughty Oh yeah Yeah yeah Bob on that

Starting point is 00:31:12 Oh, this is spot on. I can't believe it. Spot on. You can see why he's got his reputation. But hang on. If this is all he's said, why do we even know his name?
Starting point is 00:31:21 Why was anyone listening to this cunt? Because there's no telly. You should just sit downy this guy was the Chappelle of his era literally who's your favourite person from history Dan
Starting point is 00:31:35 thanks for asking Emily Davidson maybe who mine's David Copperfield he's still alive. So? Person from...
Starting point is 00:31:49 David Copperfield's still alive. He is. He isn't. What's your favourite era of... I love Tudor. I love the Cold War. Tudor England was great. When was the Cold War, Ethan?
Starting point is 00:32:00 Winter. When you're around winter. November? I think it was around November to Feb definitely freezing I love it I love it how
Starting point is 00:32:16 some things come up and I don't want to joke anymore like what's your favourite era oh well Carl it's actually Tudor England
Starting point is 00:32:22 like a fucking absolute quendo I can't do jokes anymore because I'm like, genuinely loved Wolf Hall. I loved ancient Egypt as a kid, to be honest. Right, yeah? Yeah, Pyramids and that, and the big cat. Yeah, so you obviously took it all in, didn't you?
Starting point is 00:32:36 Tutankhamun, just like... Oh, that sounds good in your Scouse accent. All the Scousers listening are like, that's exactly how you say that. But everyone else is going to say it again. Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun. How do you say it?
Starting point is 00:32:47 I don't know, mate. It just sounds fucking quality. Tutankhamun, yeah, fucking know him. You his brother. Jamie. Kamun. Jamie Kamun. It's a double bad old surname.
Starting point is 00:33:01 I'll tell you what. Tutankhamun was hard, but don't fuck with his brother, Jamie. Jamie can't move to fucking bang you out of it. He wouldn't even want you talking about him. Hey, Tootin's dead. But if you hear Jamie, Jamie hears you talking about him. Why the Tudors, Tom? Covered in bronze.
Starting point is 00:33:22 What? Why the Tudors? I just think it's a genuinely interesting point in our history that someone, a king, got married to his dead brother's wife. And it was an arranged marriage. And literally for 20 years, this old Spanish lady, who he didn't like, basically couldn't give him kids, just pissed him off gradually and gradually.
Starting point is 00:33:47 And he fucking messed up the whole country just to divorce her. He fucked us off from the Catholic church. There's other reasons going on. To basically get money from the church, dissolve the monasteries, and just so he could get some crazy hot pussy in Anne Boleyn. Like that is, and I'm totally oversimplifying, but basically this amazingly hot woman
Starting point is 00:34:09 who completely dick teased him, made him go, right, not only am I divorcing my wife, I'm going to- Invent divorce. I'm going to, yeah, invent divorce. I'm going to break from the Catholic church. I'm going to create a church.
Starting point is 00:34:22 What's the church going to be called? I think it should be the Church of England. Who's the head of it? Me! Like, just because he was like, gosh, it's Finch,
Starting point is 00:34:31 he won't fuck me. If Anne Boleyn had sucked Henry VIII's dick any time before their divorce, he'd have been like, oh, yeah,
Starting point is 00:34:39 probably just stick with this lot because, you know, it's easy, isn't it? Pope seems really annoyed. Let's not start a holy war that will have ramifications down the ages postures guilt amberlynn was like you ain't fucking this
Starting point is 00:34:49 until you've started a new religion that's how fit she was she was like i want i want a whole new religion you're ready for this jelly i don't think you're ready and apparently she had a sixth finger oh good for the little stinky i think's, I think she only gave him hand jobs with the little extra, and he was like, oh, oh, Anne,
Starting point is 00:35:10 what is this, you six fingered bitch? I don't think you're ready for this jelly because your church is just too religious for it, man. It took a little while, but I'll give it you. It was phenomenal. So you like that because of the rich
Starting point is 00:35:25 and he likes cats and pyramids? No, but I made a model of Egypt. When I was in school. Oh, right. And I helped me do it. Made pyramids and the Sphinx was hard, I'll be honest with you. The pyramids were doable.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Did you just paper mash age your pet cat? I was always just obsessed with the fact that no one's got a fucking clue how they were made. Yeah. So also, there's also something about ancient burial that is fascinating. Yeah. Like the higher status you were,
Starting point is 00:35:53 it must have been a motherfucker. And this happened in like ancient history as well. Like in this country, like warring, warlords were buried. If you ruled the area, when you you died you were put in a burial mound with like your best ship and there was other burial mounds put around it and all your stuff and sometimes your wife and sometimes some of your slaves were like in you go he's dead and i just find it fascinating like how is that not interested and that's what happened in egypt as
Starting point is 00:36:23 well isn't it those tombs were basically the kings and the richest people of the day were just thrown in there with all the shit. And there must have been some fairly poor people like, oh, imagine if we just didn't bury them with all the shit. Their sons must have been like, oh, for fuck's sake, could inherit that. Good TV, that.
Starting point is 00:36:41 It wasn't TV. They didn't have tellies back then. Maybe they did. They used to use sound, apparently, to move the big rocks, didn't have tellies back then maybe they did they used to use sound apparently to move the big rocks didn't he where have you heard that i just i think they used jews that's a rumor as well it was either no no it was either jew slaves or aliens they're the two competing or sound kaka no look at that boulder look kaka Ishmael
Starting point is 00:37:08 give it a nudge kaka so you think Jews carried rocks as big as this building yeah I think the Hebrews
Starting point is 00:37:15 built the pyramid do you right yeah I think so apparently they used like a technology that we can't access
Starting point is 00:37:22 sound waves and shit to move objects which is possible it wasn't like hey and it moved how did they get the top block on lots of jews how loads of hebrews how how'd you get it up there do you know how big the pyramids are they're big yeah what i've seen them it's like two machis on top of each other yeah but what if they built from the bottom and then just nudged it up? Have you thought about that?
Starting point is 00:37:47 What do you mean? Well, you get the top boulder, and then you put four underneath it. Up it goes. So how'd you lift the last one? I was just being stupid, but you were all looking at me like, what, that's fucking stupid.
Starting point is 00:38:02 I don't know. It was 100% aliens. Yeah. All right, cool was 100% aliens. Yeah. All right. Cool. Or Jew aliens. Yeah. Shout out Dave Chappelle.
Starting point is 00:38:17 How is that the thing that made me flinch? I would argue, rightly so. Hey, shout out H and Hebrews. They're a bad deal do you think what like gaston yeah um is there any ancient hebrews about yep yeah in our space well i need a break i need a break I think that's a good call I think it's a good break you know there's a

Starting point is 00:40:53 hate crime erm hate crime where you commit a crime based on your hatred against a group
Starting point is 00:41:02 a group like an ethnic group I think that is Turkish, isn't it? Yeah. Right. Yeah. It's basically every time I bully Finn, I think. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Is that classed as a hate crime because he's of ethnicity? You know, he's... Are you doing it because of that ethnicity? Partly, I think. Then that's a hate crime. It goes straight to the accent, doesn't it? But it's mainly the Welsh thing that gets me.
Starting point is 00:41:22 That's still a hate crime. Because I live on the border. Yeah. Yeah. Can't be. Come on, bro. It is. Hate crime's a prostitute. Do you feel like you're a victim of hate crime?
Starting point is 00:41:32 Yeah, I drew a line on whenever we recorded and I'm sticking with that line. Stupid Welsh line. You get a heavier sentence if it's a hate crime. So if you rob a gay person's house
Starting point is 00:41:44 and they go, he did that because this is a gay house you have managed there to give an example that i don't think has ever happened in any any form of the law no this was a gay burglary you know how i know they took all scatter cushions they took all the... Scatter cushions. They took all the ABBA albums. Scatter cushions. Brilliant. I'm not a big burglar.
Starting point is 00:42:11 It's gay. No. Oh, no, but they took what they knew would hurt them. A signed Sam Smith poster. Bastards. Anyway, I just wanted to get your thoughts on that before we started this section. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Thanks for that. Gay burglary. Gay burglary. A gurglary. Oh, hang on. Gay and burglary. A gurglary. That sounds gay.
Starting point is 00:42:42 What are we doing? I don't know! But you started that one. That's on you, that one. Don't be like, wow, what are we doing? I don't know But you started that one That's on you That one Don't be like Wow what are we doing You definitely

Starting point is 00:42:58 Fingered a stranger? Before you ask a question You've definitely fingered a stranger Yeah Yeah that's true Isn't everyone a stranger when you finger them? Everyone What is that how you meet people?
Starting point is 00:43:10 Nice to meet you Carl I don't know you Shake my hand all you want Until I've had my fingers inside you You're a stranger to me And that's how I ruin every family wedding A stranger is a friend you haven't made yet Right

Starting point is 00:43:38 Yeah, have you? That you just thought up and would fucking be weird and slightly upsetting? Have you ever punched someone from an ethnic minority, punched someone from an ethnic minority, a child from an ethnic minority, for no reason? Dan. I got this question.
Starting point is 00:43:52 I thought of it 12 seconds ago. James E. says, Hi Lids, question about Adam's tour. I mean, I'll read it how you wrote it. Hi Lids, question about Adam tour. I'll be in Liverpool, start of Feb, and looking to come into Hot Water, where Adam's on. If you were on, oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:44:13 If you were on, would you be doing any content from your tour? So James, I think he's sort of like trying to articulate the same thought. People are coming to see us on our circuit gigs and then they're like oh what would happen if you're on tour so i've booked the leads date but wouldn't want to spoil it by seeing half a show in hot water so uh will you be doing any content from your tour at your circuit gigs so your tour starts in february yeah and you're doing so from now so from now until february i will be
Starting point is 00:44:45 using my circuit gigs to get the material ready to go on tour with so we've said this before if you want to come and see a brand new hour of stuff every year from your favorite comedian just go to their tour shows if you come to a comedy club first of all you might see stuff from the last tour that you've seen before second of all you might see brand new stuff that isn't very good yet and thirdly you will definitely see stuff before it goes on the new tour there isn't a complete like some comedians are not like there some comedians have the same club set for 20 years and then write a new tour show i use my club gigs my circuit club gigs to get me tour show ready so yeah from, from now until February, if you see me live in a comedy club, you are going to see probably 20 to 25 minutes
Starting point is 00:45:29 of what will end up being an hour long tour show. Yeah, and that doesn't mean that if you've seen us on the circuit, you've seen everything that's going in the tour, there'll be loads more. Genuinely, if you really like what Adam does, if you really like what I do, you'll be able to see us on the circuit and then come to see that tour show
Starting point is 00:45:49 and not be disappointed. You might have seen highlights of some of the bits, but what you'll find is that some of those bits that you think you've seen completely will be longer or a little bit like there'll be extra bits added on in the tour or they'll come as part of like a bigger bit like it's as a fan of comedy i love seeing people stretch their legs at edinburgh shows and on tour shows it's a different type of performance there's you get more from it the the weekend
Starting point is 00:46:17 circuit stuff particularly the weekend circuit stuff is punchy it gets straight to the funnies but there's so much more if you're a fan of comedy about the journey to those big funnies and i don't think you'd be disappointed if you saw both no i don't think you would but i to make sure they're not disappointed they need that information like the doctor's routine i've been doing for what two months now that's going in me tour i'm about to retire it from circuit gigs because it's done and it's ready and that'll probably go on the tour i might do it a couple of times at christmas or hot water but yeah if you come and see me in the next couple of months you are going to see bits of what will be in the tour by time it gets to the tour they'll be longer they'll be better they'll be sharper there'll be more punch lines and there will obviously be another 40 minutes that you haven't
Starting point is 00:47:00 seen if you've seen 20 minutes on at a comedy club but yeah there absolutely will be repetition and if you want the tour date to be completely new to you and not anything you've seen before don't come and see me between now and then that's why i'm not retweeting any of the gigs that i'm doing on the circuit and i think there's going to be a conversation soon because you've had a bit of pull for a wee while now all of a a sudden I've got a pull. Not like this though. No, yeah. I can tell promoters are like, could you retweet and try and get some listeners in? You're like, no, not really. I can occasionally where I'm not doing it all the time. I want people to be coming to the tour.
Starting point is 00:47:38 Yeah, I'll do it at my leisure. Yeah. Like if it's for the mate, like I did Dean Coughlin's new gig on Monday this week. Oh my God, at the Jacaranda? Yeah, it's great. I'm 100% going to that gig. It's a lovely little gig.
Starting point is 00:47:50 It's a sign-up show. So it ran from eight o'clock till midnight the other night. Because the way he's running it is, if you're a comic and you turn up and you say, I want to get on, you get on. But he's now going to cap that at 20 sign-ups because he had like 28 comics turn up going, I got five minutes, yeah?
Starting point is 00:48:06 Do you get, if you're a pro-act, do you get to choose where and when you go on? So he's putting a pro-act on Because I'm not going at quarter to midnight. No, he's putting a pro-act on at the start for 15 minutes every week. I'm going for that. That's exactly what I want. So I opened it the other night and just tried out some newer
Starting point is 00:48:22 bits. Got a really, really good joke about people get up early in the morning that I sort of ad-libbed on the way it's a fucking I will not enjoy that joke what is the history of the Jacaranda? Hot Water used to be in the basement
Starting point is 00:48:35 and it was where the Beatles did their first ever gig right equally important yeah it was also where the first script of Jimmy the Rapy Dolphin
Starting point is 00:48:46 was written was yeah yeah fact it's Liverpool Heritage isn't it fact Liverpool Heritage
Starting point is 00:48:52 Jimmy the Rapy Dolphin do you remember that yeah you grew up on it didn't you we grew up on it
Starting point is 00:49:00 every week we'd sit down watch the same film and my dad would be like hey while you're watching this don't forget to remember it was written in the jack and don't for fuck's sake go out and stick your dick in any blow holes wasn't even smoking um i can't i want to come to Dublin I want to come to the Dublin date I don't know how I'm going to make that happen but you are doing Dublin
Starting point is 00:49:28 and I am not don't want to come and support I want to come up you'll be are you going to Dublin as well yeah I want to come to Dublin
Starting point is 00:49:35 Finn should we go to Dublin alright Dublin's sold out I'll treat Finn I'll treat Finn to a flight to Dublin because I've been bullying him racially for ages the amount of people is Dublin
Starting point is 00:49:43 we had a Jew and Finn because me and Carl were already going two doubled us four I meant the I meant the Irish capital I meant the Irish capital
Starting point is 00:49:56 Dublin no no no you the amount is doubling you took the sound of the name of that city yeah by the time this goes out
Starting point is 00:50:04 there'll probably be a second Dublin date on sale. Even the date of Dublin? What happened with Dublin? I knew Dublin was going to sell well because of the amount of Irish listeners we've got. Shut up. If you say Dion, I'm turning your mic off. I genuinely thought so.
Starting point is 00:50:20 I know. In my head, I'm almost like, can you hear me going, Dion? That's what the city is named after. It's named after Dion. They love that. They love that. It used to be called
Starting point is 00:50:30 something else. And then he played for Aston Miller and they were like, do you know what? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Him. When we booked it in,
Starting point is 00:50:37 they were like, right, we've got one room that's like, I think it's like 200 seats and one room that's 70. And I was like, well, we'll do the 200 and they were like,
Starting point is 00:50:43 English acts don't sell and it's sold out in about an hour and a half. So I think on the Sunday well we'll do the 200 and they were like English acts don't sell and it sold out in about an hour and a half so I think on the Sunday we're going to do that really small room and I think we're adding
Starting point is 00:50:50 the Monday in the bigger room we're trying to anyway you'll know you'll have already seen by now if that's happened adamro.co.uk
Starting point is 00:50:59 forward slash shows I've had a guy who books a gig who I asked if I could do the theatre. He went, I can't put something in that's not going to sell. And because the tour sold so well, I got a message from them going,
Starting point is 00:51:12 yeah, I've dropped the ball on that. Do you want to add it? But I can't add it now because I've put a date in the region. It's going to fuck off everyone who, I'm not doing it. I'm not pissing everyone off I'm not going to add a Sheffield date, I'm not adding a Newcastle date because of that, because people from Newcastle have bought tickets to Stockton
Starting point is 00:51:32 if I now go, oh I'm going to put Newcastle on I'm just going to wait until the tour after but it's funny how people really underestimate this podcast and like I sort of, in Dublin do they know? I don't know but I think everyone's working it out now
Starting point is 00:51:46 aren't they? But this has got some pull. Question from Jordan Pilling Alright Lids on the topic of this week's fixture of United versus Liverpool
Starting point is 00:51:58 since a young age my dad has shown me what it's like to support Man United obviously I've grown up watching them but now he's made a post via Facebook describing how he's lost touch with United
Starting point is 00:52:08 and now wants to support Liverpool. Am I going mad, or is he just an armchair fan? Can I read you the post? This is the post on Facebook. I have a couple of simple rules that my dad taught me when I was young. This is the dad, by the way. So he's talking about Jordan's granddad. If you like a club, then believe in it and follow it through thick and thin,
Starting point is 00:52:29 rough and smooth. But whenever you lose faith, loose faith in the team that you love, if it doesn't mean anything to you anymore, then sever all allegiances and start afresh. Just don't give up football. A very apt statement from my late father, who never fucking said it, but one which has seriously affected my beliefs in the institution
Starting point is 00:52:50 that I supported. I am severing, I love it, I was doing it like a press conference, I am severing all allegiances with the team that I have supported for four decades. I've simply had enough, with immediate effect, from mid-Z to D
Starting point is 00:53:05 I will be changing my club to Liverpool Football Club if this is brilliant when he's already on the defensive if you're a family member or friend then if you were offended
Starting point is 00:53:14 by my choice simply unfriend me it's my life my choice and now my football team it's like he's changing gender many thanks to all those
Starting point is 00:53:23 who have stuck by me on this footballing decision because you are many thanks to all those who have stuck by me on this footballing decision because you are allies and to all those who hate me for switching institutions then it's your problem not mine
Starting point is 00:53:33 so that's Jordan Pilling I'm telling you right now I know there's a lot of hot topic on the trans issues at the minute I draw the line the transition in football clubs
Starting point is 00:53:41 you can cut your dick off and turn it into a pussy all you like you are not buying a Liverpool shirt. I will find out your name. I'll make sure the club store bars you and everyone you know from buying a Liverpool top.
Starting point is 00:53:51 You're not fucking welcome. No. Public execution. United are shite now. We don't do pussy on this because Dan knows how wide all our fucking listeners are. United are shite.
Starting point is 00:53:59 They're not even that bad though. They are. No, they're not like. They are. Jesus Christ. They are fucking seventh in the league or something give me a fucking break if that's what it takes and find your daft cunt just take your punches you pathetic gimp you can't just switch to the best team on the planet
Starting point is 00:54:17 just because united are fucking shit no we have three decades of not winning a title if you get to 30 years then we'll let you join if you're not going to go 30 years having a league title I'll buy you a shirt myself but then again if you're one of our listeners
Starting point is 00:54:32 dad you'll probably be dead in 30 years I will take a shirt to your grave and I'll put it there can I say that this is such an uncomfortable feel
Starting point is 00:54:42 that Jordan who I guess is probably a younger lad, like, has worked this out, and that his dad, like, who definitely should know, but you've supported a team for four decades, four triumphant decades, and now you're like, I just can't.
Starting point is 00:54:59 I'm breaking all allegiances. What a fucking joke. Shitbag cunt. And no one is impressed by this. So you think, anyone who doesn't believe, support my decision, he, in his head, I think he's like, Man United fans are going to say
Starting point is 00:55:14 that I'm a dyke jumper and a traitor. Mate, no Liverpool fan wants anything to do with you. No. The thing is, you can't. If I tried to support another team, I physically couldn't do it. That's why I can't properly I tried to support another team I physically couldn't do it that's why I can't
Starting point is 00:55:27 properly pick a team for the NFL yeah you can't put the emotion into it there's no connection you wouldn't care yeah but what happened with me
Starting point is 00:55:34 with the NFL is I started supporting it for the first year I just picked the Jets to just annoy my housemate who was a Giants fan and then he literally
Starting point is 00:55:42 after the season was like I know you don't get this but it's not annoying because the New York Giants fan and then he literally after the season was like I know you don't get this but it's not annoying because the New York Giants and the New York Jets are in different divisions in different conferences
Starting point is 00:55:51 you are using football of like oh I'm a Giants fan so I'll be a Jets fan you must be big rivals they're not even that arsed about each other they never play
Starting point is 00:56:00 they might play once every four years so I was like and then I was like I watched the Jets a bit I was like I'm genuinely going to every four years so I was like and then I was like I watched the Jets a bit I was like I'm genuinely going to choose a team
Starting point is 00:56:08 so I chose the Saints and again after a season I could have probably changed again but I really did like the Saints that's eight, nine years ago
Starting point is 00:56:16 and then it just starts creeping in it needles in and in that time we have lost two games in the sort of like conference championship and the divisional
Starting point is 00:56:26 rounds that were so close when we could have gone on to super wars and those defeats and how much i cared made it like i think they've cemented that sort of like but still like it's this is beyond that isn't it because this is 40. It's so unheard of. This isn't just you going, oh, I started supporting the LA Lakers and now that they're not as good this season. Like, I almost think you'd get forgiven for like your Scottish team
Starting point is 00:56:54 or like an American team. But this is the football team that you've supported for 40 years. It just, it's horrible. Like, what are you doing? It reeks of like like would Jordan's dad do you know what I'd respect here
Starting point is 00:57:06 do you know if he went do you know what I'm done with United and I'm done with modern football at the top level I'm going to support like a
Starting point is 00:57:14 like a non-league or a lower league club and like a local club like I'd go alright I sort of get that like I understand why a lot of
Starting point is 00:57:22 old school football fans like Eddie Brimstone who we had on this couch is sort of completely dis. Like, I understand why a lot of old school football fans, like Eddie Brimstone we had on this couch, is sort of completely disillusioned with how football has been sort of infected and ruined with money. Yeah, because he was on the terraces in the 70s and 80s. Yeah, so I understand that older guys going,
Starting point is 00:57:38 this is not what I got in for. Like, I think I might be like that if I was of that age, but I've grown up with the Premier League. So, and I'm obsessed with Liverpool winning the biggest honours
Starting point is 00:57:49 on the planet. I haven't got that need to go, this isn't what I know, so I'm going to a lower league. He has, you can't go from United to Liverpool.
Starting point is 00:57:58 He's got to be taking the piss. Yeah, it's literally, he's not welcome and I'm a Liverpool fan. It's an awful tendency, isn't it? It's like, oh, my wife of 40 years has just been diagnosed with cancer.
Starting point is 00:58:08 You're like, I just feel like your sister is fitter. You know? It's worse than that. And anyone who's annoyed at me can unfriend me. But now I'm with Bev. But you can't do it emotionally. I did the Redmen TV the other day the Liverpool fan
Starting point is 00:58:26 YouTube and podcast channel who've been very kind to us haven't they they've been good guys we love them yeah and we were talking about
Starting point is 00:58:34 the fact that we've got to enjoy this period of success as Liverpool fans where we're doing that to United you know we're in the running for the biggest honours
Starting point is 00:58:42 on the planet because the days United are having now the reason their fans are struggling so much like he is and that they've never been through it they've had this two decades of dominance and they don't recognize that the things that oh well we've signed a couple of players so we're in the title race i did that for years when gerrard and torres were there and we had decent teams and you always convince yourself oh we could catch those teams that are above us
Starting point is 00:59:08 who've strengthened. United are doing what Liverpool did in the 90s and the noughties that's what they're going through but as Liverpool fans of my age right now
Starting point is 00:59:17 we've been through the shit where and I know I'm talking from a position of football and privilege here we're not like Sheffield Wednesday who've gone down several tiers or whatever. But we've been that mediocre mid,
Starting point is 00:59:28 sort of seventh and eighth Premier League team. Good, but not great for a while. Yeah, and it's almost worse than being shit. Because you just know that by fucking January, your results don't really matter because you're going to stay up and you're not going to qualify for anything. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:59:42 But Liverpool are going to have these days again. And you've got to just accept that they're there and that they're necessary to rebuild and go again and win titles. This fella's pathetic. And by the way, this is not a lot of these. There won't be a lot.
Starting point is 00:59:54 And there won't have been a lot of Liverpool fans that got to the early 90s on the soonest and went, right, I'm not doing this anymore. Because the 70s and 80s were amazing, weren't they? I don't, I just think it speaks. I love how Jordan, good for fucking hotting him out. Because what is this about?
Starting point is 01:00:10 It's awful. But Jordan knows because he's one of ours. Fucking one of ours. It won't last long. I still feel guilty about binning the Jets because I didn't like the feel. I feel really guilty about binning the Jets, the Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles
Starting point is 01:00:25 and I'll feel even worse maybe you're a bear for life now lads I'll feel even worse next year when I've been in the Bears and support whoever's in Wembley next year
Starting point is 01:00:33 if we rebrand our colours Adam's in the merch store even if we don't if the Denver Broncos come over I'll get one of their tops as well same colours
Starting point is 01:00:41 they are the same colours yeah they are Aaron says what's good lids needs a bit of advice here guys I've been on a swingers site

Oh, so he's from a long line of swingers. Maybe he walked into their bedroom and they were just getting pile-drived by loads of people they mess on his website. And he was like, dad, dad, I'll leave now.

Starting point is 01:04:57 Jimmy the rapey dolphin than Cornwall jokes we've mentioned rapey dolphins quite a lot today but there's been something going on over the past couple of weeks I don't know whether you've seen much of ity dolphins quite a lot today but there's there's been something going on over the past couple of weeks
Starting point is 01:05:06 I don't know whether you've seen much of it there's been a lot of was that a screech there you go it was to be fair it actually
Starting point is 01:05:17 wasn't but it now I realise where you're going and I'm like okay okay let me close this laptop
Starting point is 01:05:24 there's been a lot of rapey men, hasn't there? And there always is because men are horrible cunts. Yeah, Finn. Have you seen the spiking shit that's going on? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:37 You uncomfortable? It's just fucking awful. I need to talk. If you want to talk about it, we can talk about it. I do want to talk about it. It is uncomfortable. I think we've got a very
Starting point is 01:05:45 laddy fan base even the girls we have listening I think are very involved with lad humour and we'll have some lad mates won't we do you know what I mean
Starting point is 01:05:52 and so for years girls have had to worry about like shit getting put in their drinks and stuff and girls have now started with like
Starting point is 01:05:59 there's certain things you can get like plastic covers to go over cups in nightclubs they've been around for ages I've heard of them ages ago or like cellophane There's certain things you can get, like plastic covers to go over cups in nightclubs. They've been around for ages. I've heard of them ages ago.
Starting point is 01:06:12 Or like cellophane over it so you could just put your straw in and there's no other hole. If you're poor, bring your own. Like your gran's jam. Can I start my cling film behind the bar? And some fucking horrendous cunt lads have just taken things to the next level and they've started injecting girls with like date rape drugs i seen one thing on sam showed me it yesterday someone got jabbed with an injection in pizza hut like they're not even just doing it in nightclubs obviously nightclubs is where a lot of it's happening there's been a big boycott of nightclubs this week and um there's lads taking syringes with drugs that would rehypnol essentially liquid rehypnol in into um bars and injecting
Starting point is 01:06:56 girls with but one one fucking horrible concern at pizza hut and i seen there's a there's a club owner in Liverpool. He's one of a group of people who owns several of the big nightclubs. I'm not going to name the nightclubs or him because he posted this on his personal Facebook page. He said, Gales, just to let you know, I think I speak on behalf of a lot of venues in town when I say if we catch a lad spiking your drink, he's not getting handed to the police
Starting point is 01:07:26 we will hand them to an ambulance crew and i think that's how this shit gets fucking dealt with to be honest with you if me carl paul blair paul smith tony carroll and all the lads we go out with or josh and steve from school were in liverpool i hope i'm not just speaking out of turn for all the lads if we seen something like this happening this lad would be dragged and beaten within a fucking inch of their life and that's what they fucking deserve giving them to the police so the police can go no you shouldn't do that give us that needle and go back to your night out or we'll keep you for 12 hours in the militia these are horrible horrible cunts and if lads are doing this I've seen videos where lads are
Starting point is 01:08:06 like distracting girls so their mates can put stuff in people's drinks if anyone you hear of is doing this or you've heard someone's doing it and you're a man you should be pulling these fucking lads up and fucking questioning them on it and if they're doing it they deserve a slap and they deserve ostracizing from any group of friends this this can't be going on like we've all got sisters we've all got be going on. Like, we've all got sisters. We've all got cousins. We've all got girlfriends. We've all got...
Starting point is 01:08:28 We've got to start listening to these girls. The amount of effort these girls have to go in to on nights out, on walks home. People... There's a video today of a woman getting fucking attacked with a needle in the streets in broad daylight in London. They can't go to fucking shops at the minute because there's horrible rapey cunts who just want to do whatever it takes to get their fucking dick wet. It's pathetic and as far as I'm concerned, the vigilante justice
Starting point is 01:08:51 that was proposed on Facebook by this lad that I know is absolutely valid. Yeah, I think it's time for a bit of vigilance in it because it just can't go on. Just check your mates. If everyone checks their mates. Yeah, and it's again, it's a tiny minority, isn't it? But it's not a problem for young women.
Starting point is 01:09:13 This is a problem for all of us. And I know that sounds like I'm doing that thing of like, I'm an ally, but this is a problem for everyone, because we've all got friends, mates who are women, sisters, and I've got a daughter who will one day be going out so it's all of our problem
Starting point is 01:09:29 fucking hell. If I seen something like this happening especially to a girl that I know or a girl that I love me cousin Dolly or Sam
Starting point is 01:09:36 or Seneca if we were in a night house and I seen anyone attempting something like this I'll end up in jail because I'll see red and I will I will go fucking berserk.
Starting point is 01:09:47 I'm sorry for using that word, but it was right in front of me. It's a very hot topic of a word on Scouse Twitter at the minute. Properly berserk. It needs fucking sorting and fast. And everyone, if you're on a night out and you see a girl who is completely legless and there's a large source of helping her towards a taxi, question it.
Starting point is 01:10:06 Okay, it might be her boyfriend. It might be her gay best friend. It might be a lad she knows from her house or whatever. It might not be. It might not be. And I'm telling you right now, it's definitely worth going over and going, what's going on here?
Starting point is 01:10:18 And if she acts like she doesn't know this guy, get a doorman, get someone else involved. You don't have to tackle these people on their own because if they've got needles to be stabbing girls with, they might have something else in their pocket as well. And if it happens outside Pizza Hut, definitely fucking ask. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:32 I think the police really need to get involved. Sorry, I couldn't resist. I couldn't resist. It's insane. How do you get that ready? What do I do? I'm a deep pan pepperoni. Am I going to get a garlic bread and cheese?
Starting point is 01:10:46 Am I going to rape someone I don't know sorry that's my syringe you have to buy syringes you have to prepare it there's so much premeditation going on it's insane there's so much effort and disgusting consideration
Starting point is 01:11:02 going into how do I get a girl that doesn't want to fuck me to fuck me it's horrendous there's no comedy in it it's pathetic these men are pathetic and anyone who knows that it's going on or fucking assists it by distracting women you're as bad if not worse fucking sort it out have a word with your mates have a word with people who aren't your mates and fucking stop it happening and do whatever it takes to make sure these people get their comeuppance
Starting point is 01:11:28 that's the name of the podcast you know have a word yeah on brand break time keep an eye out for the calls

Starting point is 01:17:49 two or three hundred yards away from each other yeah yeah yeah and we had a bit of a catchphrase that sort of we kept bumping into each other and we were both having the best Edinburgh run
Starting point is 01:17:58 either of us have ever had and at one point I don't know whether it was me or you that said it like hey not bad for a couple of club comics it was definitely you it was me yeah i'm not a club comic i used to work in the theater just in a bolshevik revolution he's definitely not the standard club coming um but yeah yeah we were we were doing we were doing

Starting point is 01:19:05 We've had people who look and sound vaguely like you before. Conan was like, no, you're actually really good in stand-up, so we'll have you over here.
Starting point is 01:19:12 Yeah, yeah, so I got to go to, got to go to Disneyland and everything. It was great. Was that part of the package? No,
Starting point is 01:19:18 no, I just went over for a week and so I was like, okay, I'll do a load of clubs and I brought my wife with me and she really wanted to go to Disneyland.
Starting point is 01:19:24 We took the Sunday off and went to Disneyland and it's eye-wateringly expensive Disneyland yeah yeah it's just dropped more than the fee just getting in there
Starting point is 01:19:33 fuck yeah yeah yeah and it's not better than Alton Towers or anything but I it's not better than Alton Towers
Starting point is 01:19:39 no no it's just it's fine it's a theme park where are the where is the Disney one in Florida one in LA. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:19:52 Yeah. Have you been to Japan, Karl? Uh, yeah. Did you make sure you really immersed yourself in Japanese culture and got down to Disneyland? I went to Disney Sea. So that's an adult Disneyland. You can drink beer when you walk around
Starting point is 01:20:06 and stuff what so in Japan in Tokyo there's Disneyland and Disneyland Sea Disneyland's for kids yeah
Starting point is 01:20:14 and Disneyland Sea is for kids but like you can but it's sexy it's sexy like Minnie's Minnie's working around
Starting point is 01:20:21 in a bikini and they've got a new ride coming soon what is it called Jimmy the rapey dolphin ride. That's from before. Garrett, you've got every right to not understand what the fuck just happened.
Starting point is 01:20:32 I think it just sounds like a great ride. You can have a beer. You can shoot up. You get forced onto it. Fucking hell. There's Lamo stands. There's Lamo stands. Fleek.
Starting point is 01:20:44 Lamo. How do you get the club gig so you get booked for Conan which is fucking amazing yeah and that's genuinely bigger than any TV or is it the first TV break you've had
Starting point is 01:20:53 yes and it's in LA it's in fucking Hollywood in Hollywood like it's opposite the Friends stage so you walk like literally
Starting point is 01:20:59 you walk out one side of the Conan studio and up the right is the Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here album cover where they shot that and then up the other and up the right is the Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here album cover where they shot that. And then up the other end of the street is the Friends Fountain.
Starting point is 01:21:09 My God. Where they shot that. So you're like, it's proper, like, pick you up in a limo and you're, like, filming it in Warner Brothers in a fucking Hollywood studio. My agent was like, don't get used to this. It was in my own dressing room. It was like a buffet and they gave me a popcorn bucket with my name on it and stuff. He was like, yeah. Would you steal that? Yeah, yeah, I've got stuff. He was like, yeah. Would you steal that?
Starting point is 01:21:26 Yeah, I've got that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't steal it. They gave it to me as a gift and they gave me all these Conan. That's my instinct. I won't get to keep this. Where's the Pink Floyd thing gone?
Starting point is 01:21:38 Waiting for the next guy. Adam walks in emptying everything into his bag. Like, are you good to do the, oh yeah, the set. Yeah. It's just case in the joint that guy's a club comic yeah um what how did you get how did you get the the club gigs do they sort of book you for conan and then go you'll want to like test the set out yeah do they book you at the club gigs around la yeah so they they did a couple and my agent did a couple, and then, yeah, it's basically like if you're recording it,
Starting point is 01:22:09 I can't remember if it was on a Tuesday or something, but they basically call up and go, he's doing Late Night on a Tuesday, and they go, yeah, and they put you on for five minutes. So where did you play? Just like the American circuit geek in me would love to know, where did you play in LA? A little place called the Comedy Store.
Starting point is 01:22:24 I've heard of it. The Improv. And there was a really good show called Hot Tub, which is Christian Scholl from Bob's Burgers. It's her show. That was fun. And then a couple of other places that I can't remember because it was two years ago.
Starting point is 01:22:41 And how was it going? What is really interesting about your Conan set is that they made you learn Mandarin. They did make me learn Mandarin for the set, yeah. So I was telling a true story about a friend of mine
Starting point is 01:22:57 who came over to stay with me with his Chinese fiance and she spoke Mandarin, I didn't, he speaks Mandarin and they were basically, they were having a conversation in my kitchen where the only word I could hear was was barbecue so i basically in the
Starting point is 01:23:09 edinburgh show i did the act out and i just did it doing a chinese voice because basically i ran out i was going to learn mandarin and i ran out of time so i had a i had a joke basically going i looked into learning it but like it wasn't worth it for seven quid a ticket it was like when i when i tore this i'll learn it when people are coming and they pay proper money but for scum like you you just get me so you made chinese noises yeah and then threw in a few barbecues yeah uh for about six minutes and then and then due to that is our podcast in a lot of ways and if you want to see the conan set is on youtube where i've learned the mandarin which was quite difficult because i'm not much of a linguist um but because
Starting point is 01:23:50 of uh because of covid the tour the show that that routine was from was going to be released uh we were going to record it on the tour but we only got to do one night of the tour and i had a recording of it in edinburgh which then got put out by 800 pound gorilla records which you which you can get on Spotify Apple Music whatnot so if you want to hear smile that smile yeah and if you want to hear me just going that's actually been released on an album and now we've had it it's already been on like serious so it's fine it's it's fine I make a couple of sort of qualifying statements before but yeah they were they were if one of our listeners were like right that's too far for me i'd be really disappointed well that's the thing i said so the producer saw it and was like okay can you can you to do on tv can you learn the mandarin i was like yeah yeah no problem and then they called up like a couple
Starting point is 01:24:38 weeks before and like has he learned it and i had uh just like going through google translate because they were very very touchy because it was around the time of the SNL thing and the producer actually had to say to Kona was like he's gonna do this thing but like don't flip out don't run on and be like no it's a payoff to it and it is actually Mandarin he's speaking but then I got to sort of change the thing by basically telling them that I had been asked to learn Mandarin and I sort of said I don't think Chinese people will care. And they were like, no, no, not Chinese people.
Starting point is 01:25:08 Woke white liberals will care. So I was like, so I've got to spend three months learning Mandarin so I don't upset other white people when I tell them a true story. Which is based on the fact neither I nor they can understand what on earth is being said
Starting point is 01:25:22 with the exception of barbecue. That's the whole point. And they were like, yeah, yeah, basically. Like, cool, I'll get on and learn Mandarin. Did you learn any other Mandarin other than the words you needed? No, just the words I needed. Did you think, well, I've got a taste for this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:37 No, I was like, I'm going to go to China to try out my Mandarin. And then the whole thing happened. I thought it might be like Chinese food where you have a little bit, but an hour later you're desperate for more. No, no, no. I went on Google Trans translate and i put it on big posters on the wall and i learned it phonetically and it was basically i asked a couple of people like before i did it and i was like wasn't that just big symbols you don't understand no no no you can run it out sort of english wise phonetically yeah phonetically indeed um he didn't write just the big he didn't write the mandarin in massive letters.
Starting point is 01:26:05 Like, I don't know what a sunshine is. Maybe it's not big enough. How are you with Mandarin, Garrett? Not great if it's in a book, but... It's graffiti on a wall. How the fuck do you pronounce the Stonehenge one? Oh, that is fucking great. So, yeah, no, I had to ask someone like a week before i was like uh
Starting point is 01:26:28 is it any good somebody could speak better and they're like no it's terrible but you can tell that you've put a certain amount of effort in and it's like it's all i need to say did he actually do that yeah yeah he did um but like it's a fair deal. Was it worth it? Was it worth it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. As I said, I got to go to Disneyland. Flown over. They were like, look, you just have to spend three months learning very specific phrases in Mandarin which have no application to your life. Did the bit rip?
Starting point is 01:27:00 What do you mean, rip? I mean, did it go well, the bit? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It went well. It was kind of a nice experience because the audience had been very difficult all night. So it was like, ah, okay. So I went out, so I really had to get them.
Starting point is 01:27:16 But by the end, they were applauding and stuff. Oh, I love it. Which was great because then Conan asked me to come back and he cut some of his monologue to air more of my set because I'm gonna put like six minutes of it on youtube and four minutes of it on and he said cut my monologue and put the whole thing out and then they said come back and i was like great so i was going to do it again and then this fucking covid and then the show just and then the show the show stopped yes it's great that's money in the bank. Is Conan done? Yeah, he's going to be on Netflix or Amazon or something in a couple of years. Is it CBS?
Starting point is 01:27:48 TBS, yeah. Like that show is done. Yeah. My favourite thing about it though, which we spoke about last week, is because that routine has got a certain amount of, the first few times you do it, you're not going to be, the first time he did the routine that he did on Conan, I was there, it was at Hot Water,
Starting point is 01:28:05 and he's in the green room. I wasn't gonna do it. And you were like, it's great. Cause he told me in the dressing room, and I was like, that is fucking hilarious. And there was another comic as well. I can't remember who it was. They were like, you've gotta do it.
Starting point is 01:28:16 And he went on stage at Hot Water, I sold out to Hot Water and did it. And it got the sum total of fuck all. And he was like, you fucking asshole. I was like, no, no, I swear to God that's gonna work. No, no, it wasn't fuck all. And he was like, you fucking asshole. I was like, no, no, I swear to God that's going to work. No, no, it wasn't fuck all, to be fair. There was quite a lot of anger and confusion. From a hot water crowd.
Starting point is 01:28:35 Yeah, yeah, going on Saturday night. But it's a routine that you've got to have confidence in, isn't it? If you're talking about the nerdiness of stand-up, like there's bits that if you don't own and be like, this is what happened and i'm okay with it can't audience mcchuckins when i didn't know how to tell that story yeah about me getting thrown out of mcdonald's for shouting niggit mcchuckins because someone mispronounced chicken mcnuggets right i died quite a lot you know when some promoters really don't know what they think
Starting point is 01:29:02 a couple of promoters like like, what was that? And you're like, I know that went wrong, but I'm sure in my heart that that's a funny bit. And you can tell they're like, right, because you've ruined that set, haven't you? I know, but I'm pretty sure this is the funniest story I've ever had. And when it unlocks, it's because it's worth its risk, isn't it? Yeah, it's the risk. The risk reward thing, because it's worth it's risk isn't it yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:29:25 it's the risk the risk reward thing like it is worth it you've just got to get through some choppy waters to get there with the Chinese voice version of it
Starting point is 01:29:33 I think it was one of those things where you'd start doing it and everybody would just go what the fuck and then like a minute in they were like yeah okay
Starting point is 01:29:40 they got over their own were you doing an accent oh yeah what accent did you choose uh you know generic uh offensive chinese what do you mean completely poorly he was doing chinese noises in a birmingham accent no but i mean like surely china's got different accents oh yeah presumably yeah yeah it's massive yeah did you know in or Southern China? I did my regional research before I went in and did... If you're going to do the noises, you've got to get them right. Don't do Southern Chinese.
Starting point is 01:30:11 It's really offensive. Mandarin's a tonal language, though, to be fair to Carl. Shut the fuck up. What are you talking about? It is, yeah, yeah. No, but what do you know about Mandarin? I know it's a tonal language. Oh, my God!
Starting point is 01:30:23 Get down! The only reason he knows- Are you on your phone? What's going on? How do you know that? No, the only reason he knows, because I say so in my routine, that's where he's gonna- No, no, no, it's quite a common, no.
Starting point is 01:30:33 Yeah, like in China, if they say quavers and then go, quavers, they're totally different words. No, but that's- Does that happen a lot? But that's the same in English. No, it's not. If your mum goes, do you want some quavers? And she goes, do you want some quavers?
Starting point is 01:30:48 You'd be like, no, that still means do you want some quavers, doesn't it? In China, that might mean, the first one might mean like picture frame and the second one might mean donkey's arsehole. Well, I feel like I don't know who I've been podcasting with all this time. Adam, the fucking font of all bullshit on this podcast.
Starting point is 01:31:05 Yeah, actually, Mandarin's a tonal language. Adam, do you know you got picture frame from Jimmy the rapey dolphin? You got picture frame from the picture frame next to you. Yeah. Where did you get donkey's arsehole from? I was thinking about your man. Oh, right. Nice one.
Starting point is 01:31:20 And that's not tonal, is it? Your man's arsehole! Same thing, innit? I love that. It's just more again and that's not tonal is it you're a Mars asshole same thing innit I love that that's what I mean to you just more it's tonal just more
Starting point is 01:31:30 more people heard it I think it's absolutely there must be a lot of confusion in China when they're all talking Mandarin and someone says it slightly out of tone yeah
Starting point is 01:31:39 it's more like how like Scottish people use the word cunt yeah so if it's like are you a cunt it's like that means I'm your friend you cunt. Yeah. So if it's like, I'm a cunt. That means I'm your friend. You cunt.
Starting point is 01:31:48 That means like run away. Is that how it is? That's the same word. So there's not like one word that with a slightly different tone means like tablecloth and murderer? No. No. As far as I understand it, no.
Starting point is 01:32:02 Imagine detectives using that. We're looking for a serial tablecloth. I'm sorry, what did you say? Sorry, my mistake. Tablecloth! Officer, your tone is way off. So they're wasting our time, Simon. Someone's nicked his dining room set.
Starting point is 01:32:18 No, they've killed his mother. Oh, that would explain the resources we've funneled at this. Where? Where? Table cloth and murderer. He just locks the things in the room. He thinks the entire Chinese language is like Matt Damon in Team America. Matt Damon. Matt Damon.
Starting point is 01:32:40 Table cloth. Table cloth. It's been a table cloth. Oh, my days how was the fear element like not to go on about this but you're one of the few comments what's like it's obviously a bit of an away day that sort of thing oh yeah like did you get the fear or you were like fuck it this is no i i had a word with myself at heathrow and was like this probably will never happen again and the only thing that could ruin it is if i i had a word with myself at heathrow and was like this probably will never happen again and the only thing that could ruin it is if i'm like so i was like i am going to enjoy myself for the next week and and did oh fuck what a great yeah i'm not very good at doing that sort of thing
Starting point is 01:33:16 but i do i do remember sort of standing in a queue for the airplane and just being like rationalizing it going yeah like in this is this is like once in a lifetime thing so you don't want your memory of being like yeah i shat myself a lot my stomach hurt you don't want that to be a takeaway and i'm quite i'm quite a negative person so like difficult for me because they're my emotions like most days yeah yeah absolutely yeah but like one of my overriding memories of my own wedding day is uh when my uncle took a picture after i'd asked him not to so i tend to process things like that and stick it on the pinball in my memory but there's very few like nice things in my head so like like i can like it was five years ago and i can see i'm
Starting point is 01:33:57 actually getting angry thinking about it now i can literally picture it in a way that i can't picture my wife coming up the aisle but like like so i i i tend to like take negative things and bank all that and slough away all the happy stuff so it was like don't take a picture at a wedding i actually put it on the invitations right it actually said like no pictures i was like look i've paid that bloke two thousand pounds to take pro pictures i don't want everyone looking across in different directions or loads of pictures of loaded dickheads looking at camera phones so just put them away uh and you can have the ones from the guy who's been paid i got that but like yeah it was really weird my sister did that in like 2010 no one had a problem we got married like five years later and the invitations went out
Starting point is 01:34:42 because i just basically copied the idea of her and the the photographer was like, yeah, it's great. You're going to get like much, much better pictures. It's a really good thing to do. And we'll put them on the website and everyone can go on again. But yeah, five years later, in 2015, sent the invitations out and people were ringing up going, yeah, but you don't mean that. Like, yeah, yeah, don't. Just get off your phone. Yeah, but you can't, you can't, you can't mean that.
Starting point is 01:35:04 We have to take, you know then people were losing their fucking minds and it was just like a five-year difference between you know 2010 11 people just go yeah of course no problem at all but people like panicking you up going what do you mean it's like just just that just just was it just am i being offensive that it's like that is that the five years that sort of mums got picture phones? Before that, they were on like a Nokia. I don't know how to work these bigger ones. And then by 2015, they've got an iPhone. You told me about that last week,
Starting point is 01:35:34 and I think I'm going to do that for my wedding. No phones all day. Get them things, the Chappelle thing, where you lock your phone away. Yeah. I can totally see him doing that. I'd be like, Dave Chappelle did this. You don't need your phone
Starting point is 01:35:45 in the church or like whatever just fucking put it away but yeah having put that yeah my uncle my uncle then it was the breaking of the rules and he just
Starting point is 01:35:53 he just went out and I was just like fucking I can't stand it if people break rules if I was your missus I'd get that and I'm not
Starting point is 01:35:59 but if I was your missus I'd get that picture and print it out and frame it just to piss you off. It's not the picture. It's I can picture him. That's what's pissing me off.
Starting point is 01:36:11 That's just him. How did he do it? You were like, don't do that. And he was like, no, no, no. He just went, hee hee. Oh, he's Chinese. It was tonal. He said, don't take that pic
Starting point is 01:36:25 And he thought I don't want fruit salad Everyone there's been a murder So super He's so ill You're going to kill him Look at the colour he's so ill you're gonna kill him look at the color he's going the fucking beachum's just kicked in on adam he's gone yes that's not been a while see there's no there's no way i'll be able to remember this nice thing i think it's gonna be a clip you're gonna be able to watch it whenever you want oh god i'll only remember the seven minutes i was standing by the door waiting for something
Starting point is 01:37:20 to come out that's his fault it doesn't matter whose fault it is. It's just there now. Are you going to be a bit of a madam on your wedding day? Are you going to be able to go with the flow? A groomzilla. Because I, having, you know,
Starting point is 01:37:36 we've worked together for a while. You're super chilled and diplomatic when you're like, I don't really give a shit. But as soon as you really have a strong opinion, it's like, no, you can't. Let's do it that way.
Starting point is 01:37:47 How is that going to go with the wedding? Are you going to be able to be passive? Because you need to be.

Do you know how mental I am about Patreon? I was like, oh my God, a Patreon special. Adam's wedding. Wedding video will be on Patreon.

Starting point is 01:41:38 a year later they got married and his wedding gift was the cheese because it's the thing isn't it the cheese course is a thing. That is a thing.
Starting point is 01:41:46 So he spent, I think, close to £500 on cheese. From all, like, there was a few hundred people at the wedding and he built it up and he's a chef. So he really built it up and he spent a lot of money on some really expensive-looking cheeses. He arranged it. It looked phenomenal, like the display at a cheese shop. And then he sat maybe 40, 30 yards away from it,
Starting point is 01:42:14 just not right next to it, being like the cheese guy, but just close enough to see who was eating it, and then spent the evening fuming because no one fucking touched it. So he just had this 500 pound cheese display he's a fucking idiot i'd have no gratitude for that my favorite cheese is pre-grated red leicester if someone just got me like a bucket of that don't ask adam to buy you as a wedding present your cheese course right loads of slices of dairy, Lee. Grated red. Bit of mozzarella.
Starting point is 01:42:47 The grated stuff, it's got all like powder on it. It's fucking horrible. No, you can eat it from the bag when you're hungover as well. You can eat the day after. You only have to go and clean it off. You're worse than that advert
Starting point is 01:42:56 for Cathedral City where the advert, they bring out a cheese board and it's just got one lump of cheddar and everyone's like, ooh, lovely. It's like, it would fucking kick off anywhere.
Starting point is 01:43:03 You've got a cheese board, like one lump of supermarket cheddar.'re like how can your favorite cheese be grated which means i just like eating it from the bag when i'm hung over and i'm gonna be hung over the day after so i'll wake up go to help them clean up and i'll just be like i'll take that bucket of cheese with me i've been nibbling on it while we're tidying up you're not tidying up after your wedding don't do tidying on't do what else are you having at the wedding so we've got a bucket of grated red leicester a sarah lee what's the main course it's got spuds baked potatoes i a roast in it actually would be great a roast yeah we'll get them to do it here from the conference center my mate
Starting point is 01:43:43 my mate had a hog roast it was great huge big pig on the on the thing sexy it was great yeah yeah i don't think we should do a hog roast i think like the day food roast dinner but done to a really good not like toby carvery but like limewood farm in st helens the other carvery which is very easy to do for like 200 people well it's a carvery in it so they've got experience of it. They know how to cater to it. They get a carvery for your wedding. It's got a big hat coming out.
Starting point is 01:44:08 That'd be fucking amazing. You're getting the full, the hog roast and some grated red Leicester next to it. I want the meat options. I want a big fucking turkey, some pork, some lamb, a joint of beef. And then you can fucking help yourself. You roast these there, a bit of cabbage. Prune cocktail to start sounds fucking great it does doesn't it
Starting point is 01:44:28 it's annoyingly good Adam's getting married I want a carbon yeah it's basically Adam's having his wedding at a Ben Brazil where he just gets some guy going

And he's accusing someone of slander. His ex-wife.
Starting point is 01:45:49 Yeah, who she ran off with a toy boy and locked herself in his mansion. He's been married to her twice. So he got married to her and broke up. Fool me once. Yeah, yeah. And then it came back. Although he was a big booze hound when they were together first.
Starting point is 01:46:01 Which he admits in his biography, Not Dead Yet by Phil Collins, which is a cracking read I was actually devastated that's why we got Garrett in actually Phil Collins knowledge
Starting point is 01:46:12 I was supposed to be going to see Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks of Genesis at the O2 a couple of weeks ago
Starting point is 01:46:18 but Covid in the band so they've rescheduled it to March I was devastated so where's she gone you don't you never brush your fucking teeth
Starting point is 01:46:27 in the press she came out in the press and said she ran off with someone and locked herself in his house and I think she was trying to like eBay some of his memorabilia so he was

Starting point is 01:46:46 Carl. You know, absolute car crash form today. I don't take the mic. Oh my God. I don't take the mic often. He looked at me 30 seconds ago and went, watch this. But Carl, she said, against all odds, take a look at me now. I've brushed my teeth.
Starting point is 01:47:04 She's not a very easy lover, is she? Bang! Can't wait for your podcast to come out, guys. Genesis are an excellent band, and he's a phenomenal solo artist. Yeah. Did you know he was a Phil Collins fan? No, I didn't.
Starting point is 01:47:21 He said no banter. Actually, I had tickets for two weeks ago, but he hadn't brushed his fucking teeth. Oh, amazing. Well. Oh, what have you been on today? Some absolute howlers. Comment, I thought I was more agreed,
Starting point is 01:47:40 because they are songs. I appreciated it, mate. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. There's nothing I like more than coming up to, I made the effort to come here and you got the Phil Collins jokes lined up. See that?
Starting point is 01:47:53 I look after the guests. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd love to be so rich that my missus could bang a younger man in a house and lock herself in. I'd be like, I should do something about that. I can't be asked like
Starting point is 01:48:05 that's that's how you know you're rich when you're like one of your six houses your wife is fucking some young guy in and you're like five out of six isn't bad you know that's the level i'm trying to get to if you want to the back you could shout come on babe grab your things i've come to take you home. Excellent marriage advice. Do you know that's Peter Gabriel? I knew exactly what had happened. What? It's just an appear Gabriel. But he knows Phil Collins, doesn't he?
Starting point is 01:48:38 He does know Phil Collins. He knows all of him. He thinks of Kostya and everyone. Yeah, maybe that's what Phil Collins would say. They were in a band together. So you're nearly right. It was so close to being good. But he's still right.
Starting point is 01:48:52 No, no, it's nearly right. Oh, fucking grated cheese boy. Hey, grab your things and come to see you. Peter. Oh, he could say war. What is it good for? Which wouldn't make sense either. It's the game store lads that are laughing.
Starting point is 01:49:07 Shut the fuck up. Did you just Google that? No, you've got to do them off the top of it. I couldn't remember anymore. Yeah. I'm going to be listening to the best of Phil Collins on the way home. 19 year old lads were like, lad, what the fuck are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:49:24 Do you remember? What, Phil Collins songs? Do you remember? What, Phil Collins songs? Bam. Do you remember? Right, shut up. That's a lyric

Starting point is 01:49:47 Oh, yeah, you were. Can I do a question? Sure. It's not really for me to say, I guess. It's a question. It's your fucking podcast. Luke Brown says, I've been talking to Jesus. Luke Brown says, wag wag legs.
Starting point is 01:50:02 Legs? Legs? I said it wrong then. I said it wrong. Is he allowed to say wag one has he googled no he didn't wag wag oh right okay sorry i just i saw that i went to the cinema because someone wrote in trying to say wag one and they did a typo and now we've put it on merch oh great okay but the lad from the google advert who says it and gets a cold reception is like there is listen
Starting point is 01:50:25 to have a word there's a version for you it'll be absolutely fine can i say wag one no you can't but you can say wag wag yeah and you've really got to pronounce the a and the wag okay wag wag lids a local bar hosted their first comedy night big room had a mixture of rows of seats or premium booths that they charged top dollar for. I didn't go, but I've heard the sound system failed and sounded like a supermarket tannoy. After a bit of playing, two comics walked out and the other two struggled through it
Starting point is 01:50:55 after two hours of tinkering. The show was apparently a total shambles, but how would you have reacted to this? Would you have held on for the good of the night or would you have walked? Cheers, lids. Love the podcast. Keep it up.
Starting point is 01:51:06 That's from Luke Brown. Depends on the fee. Yeah. And how much you needed it. Yeah. It's my least favorite thing, though, when it's like country crowds happen, shit bills are put together,
Starting point is 01:51:23 awful venues can exist. Yeah. But for it to be, like, tannoy level of tech fuck up, I find awful. I remember watching you get really annoyed once at the Crown Hotel where Hot Water used to be based because the mic stopped working.
Starting point is 01:51:36 And about four times in your 30-minute closing set, you were like, I want a mic. You couldn't even keep it in. You said it, like, four or five times. Yeah, well, you can't do it. Like, it's... I felt bad for a second then, you're like no no no no no you you were well within your rights you were just like this is not and you were on last and everyone else is on a mic it just
Starting point is 01:51:54 stopped working and they didn't have another mic or wire you're like i want a fucking mic i did i did a gig on a boat in cambodia and the whole setup just broke a couple of minutes into the set and so i did it acapella but they all got their phones out and put the torches on the phone so I got lit by torchlight and then just did it without a mic and it was it was really cool like you were singing candle in the wind basically yeah you did a gig on a boat in Cambodia yeah and that's like and I cannot believe they didn't have a good tech set yeah yeah the tech set weren't even filming it I mean if you if you really want things to be shared on social media, guys,
Starting point is 01:52:25 you need to record the sets. What's your view of Cambodia, though? Because they do have electricity and stuff. I can barely see Cambodia from here. Shall we do the voices again? I got bollocked before. What's that? You said, what's my view of Cambodia?
Starting point is 01:52:43 No, Carl. It's just classic stuff. Carl, I don't think you understand. What are you meant is? What's my view of Cambodia? No, Carl. It's just classic stuff. Carl, I don't think you understand. What are you meant is, what's your opinion of Cambodia? I twisted it to be what I can't see from here. Carl, read my tone right. Eat your cuivas! Yes!
Starting point is 01:53:00 Just for the audio listeners, Carl's got cuivas on his desk. No, I understand desk and no I understand yeah I yeah I understand they've got electricity but you know when you go to a pub in the UK and they're like
Starting point is 01:53:14 lights are hard so there's lights on the walls they're on and the mic is like you know got one it's basically a fucking speaker and spell
Starting point is 01:53:24 it's a wireless thing, and it actually goes into both speakers around the pod. We've got the DJ who does weddings here on the weekend, and he's got his set up, so you're literally lit up by red, white, great stuff. The wedding disco lights. And you're going to be spoilt for Walker Music. He's got seven CDs.
Starting point is 01:53:41 We're going to start the comedy after they've had the curry buffet, and when they've when they've been when they've had that you can have a plate of curry from the buffet only when they've finished please do help yourself
Starting point is 01:53:51 to one post-mix drink from the bar how's your what would you call it as a comic when you yeah you're right when you need the money
Starting point is 01:53:59 when you're making your way up you will do the gigs now how are your like it's almost like I could be a bit precious about that I mean like if you've not given me a fucking mic I can't do the gigs yeah now how are your like it's almost like i could be a bit precious about that i mean like if you've not given me a fucking mic i can't do the gig like i just did a gig recently and it was a piece of shit and it was clicking out i still did the gig and everything
Starting point is 01:54:15 yeah how are you for sort of like having your madam moment i will do the gig if i if i haven't booked for it and i've turned up if it's seven out of ten bad lee put together and it's just not good i'll do it and then just never work for that guy again if it's 10 out of 10 bad and no effort's gone in and they're like oh yeah uh well we're not going to turn the music off we're just going to lower it down you're going to stand in the corner and they don't really know comedy's on i'll just go mate i'm not fucking doing this and i'm getting off if it's if it's horrendous fuck off whatever happened have i ever got off ever pulled a gig at the gig um nearly once so this was maybe seven or eight years ago adam rushton booked me for a gig in warrington
Starting point is 01:55:05 and i got to the venue and they had an a4 laminated bit of paper on like the front wall of the venue which was like next to a shopping center right and that was their marketing they're like we've had a poster up and two people turned up two who knew staff at the bar and they were like oh this is horrible isn't it i was like yeah we can't do gigs two people mate can we just get our money and go and he's like i'm not fucking paying you haven't done the gig so i was about to go and then i went i will do the gig and he's like we'll go and do the gig then so we did the gig to two people who didn't even look at us yeah i walked out i didn't walk out i got to a gig uh where excess malarkey used to be in manchester and i think it's called
Starting point is 01:55:55 the cheshire cat and it's a student pub this is how long ago josh jones our very own josh jones was doing the 10 minute open spot in the middle section someone had had gone on the first section and then Josh Jones and another lab were doing 10 minutes each. So this may be five years ago. And I'd driven an hour to get there in a snow, a bit of a snowstorm. You know, one of those drives where you're like,
Starting point is 01:56:15 ah, God, this is not ideal. Snow's one of those things that it's, it's just like, it doesn't happen loads, but when it does, you're like, if you're going to fucking have a crash on the motorway, that's probably going to be one of the reasons it's just, like, it doesn't happen loads. But when it does, if you're going to fucking have a crash on the motorway, that's probably going to be one of the reasons.
Starting point is 01:56:29 It's a borley when it's 150 quid on a Thursday. I got there, and it was just a loud, busy student pub at the fucking end of January. And they were shouting. They were just on the piss. And I could see through them a stage with Josh Jones just struggling in front of about 14 people. And actually those 14, 15, maybe even 20 people
Starting point is 01:56:53 looked like they were there for the comedy, and Josh was just struggling. He was on the, again, like the PA that was all around the room, and I just stood at the back and went, I can't, I'm not doing this gig. I'm not going on to just have to shout for half an hour. And while I was there, I was there maybe 25 minutes. I could, as pubs do, they get louder, don't they?
Starting point is 01:57:14 Everyone gets a little bit busier. There was at least, on the mezzanine as well, 150 people that were just not watching the gig. They were just in their booze. They'd done the classic thing of, let's just set the gig up there and it was free to walk in it was a fucking nightmare
Starting point is 01:57:29 and I just didn't go still it's good life coming is that in the Manchester Uni halls? no it's just across from there just across from there it's an old church and I
Starting point is 01:57:37 the guy who was running it came over to find me and went it's not great I was like mate I can't go on this isn't a gig and he went yeah i know i'm really sorry and i i wasn't going to get the fee because the venue
Starting point is 01:57:51 wouldn't give me the money but i was like i'll lose the 150 which i needed yeah i was like i cannot stand there and hate my existence for half an hour whilst there's something about about being rejected by young people that makes it slightly harder as well, students are like is this your life mate and you're like yes you have to drive home with it sitting in you if you do it I skidded all the way home
Starting point is 01:58:15 you might die tonight for no money but you've got your pride I pretty much I just do it there haven't been any that I don't do I get in a bit of a sulk about it, but I do it. But now I've been doing comedy for a while, I know what flavour of disaster it's going to be. So when you see it, you're like,
Starting point is 01:58:33 yeah, I know how this is going to go. So I can kind of see into the future and be like, yeah, I'm going to feel like an article. Yeah, I was like, I know what's going to happen. So probably it was like, the room, you know, I know it looks a bit, but it really like uh the room you know i i know it looks a bit but it really does work you're like no it fucking doesn't cool i'll go and humiliate myself for 15 20 minutes and then uh i'll piss off because it could i mean it's one of those
Starting point is 01:58:54 things like uh it's a pretty easy job that we do like in terms of like you know people who have to get up at six o'clock in the morning and go to a place and it's like horrible and like 90 particularly now like 95 at the time it's fucking awesome so if you show up and you're like yeah it's going to be a shit eater tonight well that's part of the deal just just do it yeah and don't get me wrong there are like when recounting this i can pull up one gig where i went walked in and went no this is so bad it's not doable i did so there's so many more gigs where i've walked into and gone i'm gonna eat my balls now so i did the i did the most unplayable gig recently um so i performed to the 800 paras who did the evacuation of kabul airport who is who is booking your cambodian riverboat gig fucking diary
Starting point is 01:59:45 yeah i get to do all the plums double yeah yeah nipped into afghanistan 800 paras 800 paras who had just been through like the worst experience of just mopping up a war that everybody stopped giving a shit about like five years ago and they're all like 17 so um i got a call basically saying so normally they'd go to do to do it in cyprus they do decompression right so um they couldn't go to cyprus because uh afghanistan was a red list country so they got flown back to colchester and they were on a parade ground which is basically like a car park and they were all in covid, which were made out of barriers from motorways, each with their own port-a-loo in this car park.
Starting point is 02:00:30 Oh, my God. And there was no, you weren't lit. You were lit from behind, right, in a car park. And he was just going out. And the commanding officer was like, look, basically they've had the worst 10 days of their lives. The RAF have lost their luggage, so a lot of them are still in the clothes that they deployed to afghanistan in um don't make any jokes they're
Starting point is 02:00:49 not allowed to go home yeah they're not yeah they're basically locked 12 hour flight 11 hour flight yeah so they're locked in these little covid bubbles with a portalo and they've given them like a slab of lager and a burger and be like don't worry we've got we've got a fat comedian he's gonna come and do some observational uh stuff about life in britain to a bunch of 17 year olds who've literally just been in afghanistan watching people being blown up by suicide bombers and now like they don't have their they don't have their clothes they can't see their family they're not allowed to be in cyprus they're in colchester and the guy's like yeah could you uh do 15 minutes and there was a guy on with us who's a magician
Starting point is 02:01:21 who had been a para and he was like right, right, have you got any, like, filthy stuff, racist stuff? And I was like, go with that. And he was like, I don't really have anything that they want. Have you seen my Conan set? All right, boys, welcome home. You think you saw Bob and Last Week? Wait till you see this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 02:01:38 So I did a routine about how I've quit smoking recently, right? And so they charged the stage with a rolled-up fag. And this guy, like, gave it to me. I haven haven't got a light someone else charged and lit the fag and there was just 800 powers going fucking smoke it so i smoked it and they're going yeah and then i said look guys you know we're all really proud of what you've done and everything and thanks and they went have a drink and i was like i haven't got a drink and there was a there was a pint near the mic stand which the other act was going to do a drink a yard of ale thing with and they were like it's a fucking pipe by your feet and i was like i've got the car and they're going fucking drink it so i was like okay so i downed it and they all went mad but that was 15
Starting point is 02:02:13 minutes of like i don't think that there will ever be a worse set of circumstances to try and do a gig in and he'd come and be like yeah did you actually get away with any material yeah yeah yeah they basically wanted you to do that and then you were sound, yeah. Did you actually get away with any material? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They basically wanted you to do that and then you were sound. Yeah, that and then you could get away with a bit of material. Oh, that could have gone. Oh, yeah, it could have gone in two directions, yeah. Could you imagine if you were like, guys, I've done really well.
Starting point is 02:02:35 I'm on nicotine patches and I am driving. Please let me perform. That would have been horrific. Yeah, you just wouldn't have got out of there. But I hadn't done a military gig. You come back stinking of cigarettes and piss. Babe, babe, I had to do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:48 For the gig. For my country. But then I got a letter from the commanding officer thanking me for my contribution to the operation of evacuating 15,000 British and Afghan personnel. So I was like, it arrived and I was like, I'm a fucking war hero. So I called up a mate of mine who's actually served in Afghanistan and went, did you get a letter? He's like, did I fuck?
