Right.
So it's like a cold.

I've seen your tweets.
I'm really cold and I'm not well, but it's not COVID. What is it? It's just being not well. It like a cold. Yeah. Yeah, all right. I've seen your tweets. I'm really cold and I'm not well, but it's not COVID.
What is it?
It's just being not well.
It's a cold.
Yeah.
People think it's either COVID or not.
I've needed to sneeze since 9am and it just won't come.
Oh, it's in there?
Yeah.
Oh, they're fucking awful.
Do you need some pepper or something?
Or is that a little bit like old school?
Like if you sniff some pepper, doesn't that make you sneeze?
Are you like a witch from the 1800s?
I don't think so.
I think I just saw cartoons.
Oh, you mean to sneeze with?
I thought you meant to like bake it into a medicine.
No, I didn't mean like sweet red pepper.
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
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
you're trying to
fucking start a fight
get half your back at once
sneezing they reckon
is one eighth of a cum
don't they
what
sneezing is an eighth
of a cum
is it
like serotonin wise
serotonin wise
like in your brain
you get like an eighth
of the
like the gratification
you would get from
a good old jizz
on some tits
what if you sneeze
eight times in a row
what's nice
you cum
you cum
you have to have a cigarette
fucking hell
sat next to a flower
that's giving you the sneeze
you're like bloody hell
worth a fucking eighth
either with you kid
best fucking daffodil
I've ever had.
Sneezing's just inconvenient
for people around you,
isn't it?
Yeah, it's quite...
Yeah, it's kind of fun.
It's kind of fun.
Unless you bruise
your rib in any way.
I remember, like,
that's not good.
Do you say gazuntite?
No.
Because I'm not a paedophile.
Anymore.
Gazuntite!
Stay away from the school mate
do you say bless you
or bless your cotton socks
I say cunt
bless your cotton socks
bless your cotton socks
if someone sneezed near you and you went cunt
I think sneezing
it's like loaded now isn't it like before it was like loaded now innit like before it was like
alright
now everyone's like
oh god
yeah
that's funny
my gran used to get
she fucking died
when I was like
19, 20 years old
but she used to get
on a roll
and that's why I said
about the 8 sneezes
in a row
no
oh Finn
that's so fucking weird
Jesus you're allergic to chat about my dead gran No! Oh, Finn, that's so fucking weird.
Jesus, you're allergic to chat about my dead gran.
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
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,
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.
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?
Celica said that,
I don't know,
her mum's Irish
and she says all weird shit.
So I've caught it now.
So now when,
if we sneeze three times,
like we're trying to get
three in a row.
Bless you, save you. Because I can't afford afford to because i can't afford to it's good that
i know it's an irish thing but like got some new merch coming there why am i having a good call
even i just clocked myself going he's been really nice to me recently yeah fuck off bless you save
you because i can't afford to four fucking sneezes and you're dead. That's it.
But I'm enjoying my voice, do you know what I mean?
I'm thinking maybe, like, I should start to sing.
Barry Black songs.
1975, I bought you an album.
What's a Barry White song?
Oh, my darling, I can't get enough of your love, baby. My darling, I can't get enough of your love baby darling lower there you go you were too high now i got a little dick twitch

You know when you watch musicians live and they do it slightly different and a bit sort of...
Yeah, live.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In a studio.
Different.
Like Barry was like,
in 1975 we brought you an album.

yeah
just the way you are

deeper though

dance with your father doesn't he what how does that one go lord she's dying dance with my father
right i don't know i just did your mom like that or something something? No, I like it. It's a pretty X Factor song. That checks out.
Everyone never sings it in X Factor.
It's basically...
Can you sing it?
Can someone sing it where he's not doing the...
Back when I was a child
I'd dance with my mother and me
And then my father would lift me high
hey invoices
for all the
kitchen oil you
need ladies
because
must be pretty
damp down there
my father
that was quite
good
I still don't
recognise the
song
it's about his
dead dad
hang on
what's the
Luther Vandross
song that I
there is a more
famous one though
isn't it
can we get
Luther Vandross
the best things

except houses
um
Bolloproof
they're dead good
Bolloproof was
Luther Vandross
yeah that song
doesn't hold any
weight really does
it the best things
in life are free
pasties are a
couple of quid
but a free pasty
yeah but they
don't really exist
do they
unless you steal it
no yeah
you'd be suspicious
if someone was like
on the street went
lad
do you want a free pasty
you'd be like
no
can I give you something
for it
no no no
we're just like
giving out pasties
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
I was like okay
she's checking
yeah
she watches
hi babe you alright
love you
and
is that you kissing that arsehole
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
um
soaker
on a
on a hose
are there different things
oh you've got the different
yeah
maybe I just need to
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,
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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,
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,
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
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.
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.
Where's that sea lion
going?
Jill?
Over there.
Fucking clever
these oracles,
aren't they?
That's how they hunt.
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
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
hey you're getting
some telly now
Adam's gonna meet
it with Disney
listen
either
the telepathic orca
or Jimmy
the rapey dolphin
I don't think this
is gonna work Adam

A fucking dolphin.
I've got a bag of fleek.
Pretty hard-hitting Disney film, to be fair. I think you might need to pitch it to Netflix. A bag of fleek. Pretty hard-hitting Disney film, to be fair.
I think you might need to pitch it to Netflix.
A bag of fleek.
It's a drug-dealing dolphin.
Jimmy, the drug-dealing rapist dolphin.
Coming soon to Disney+. I think I might have got the wrong studio,
but there's something behind it.
What's a telepathic author?
How does that go?
Author?
Oh, God.
Is that wrong?
It's a different word?
It's just a while.
It knows what's happening.
Soon.
Soon?
Soon.
No, I don't believe in...
I don't believe anyone can know the future.
I just don't believe in any of that.
Do you believe in reincarnation?
No.
No.
When you're dead, you're dead. It dead it'd be nice though wouldn't it you've got you've you've literally laughed so much you've got because
you've got a cold you've got a wee little like uh bogey in your nose and i'm literally i can't i
can imagine with 4k cameras someone going and go get Adam's fucking nostril, like, just after the fucking Jimmy the rapey dolphin bit.
46th minute.
He's doing well for a call, isn't he?
No, I don't.
Do you genuinely think that anyone can know the future?
I just can't rule it out.
You know what I mean?
I don't know.
Yeah, I know, but you do.
But no, people have predicted stuff before,
and it's come true, so.
Yeah, poor.
Throw enough shit against the wall. Anyone can predict anything. 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.
It doesn't, but it's been scarily accurate
with some people, hasn't it?
What, like Nostradamus?
Erm...
Didn't the people who built the pyramids...
Oh, here we go.
Get ready for some facts.
Hey, you didn't like sharks
you're gonna love this
didn't
didn't they predict
like
what
yeah
Leicester winning the league
yeah they did
Leicester winning the league
if you actually
when they went in one of those
was it Tutankhamun
if you actually look in his tomb
it said 2015-16
what about that octopus
that predicted all the all the footy results in the World Cup?
He was just getting scrammed.
Same thing, innit?
Same thing.
Paul, the octopus.
Nostradamus never won the Euro millions.
Fact.
What a bag of shite.
He predicted that someone would,
and that was before the Euro millions existed.
Yeah.
It's like someone's going to get fucking loads of dough for fuck all
what
what did Nostradamus predict
what
what did Nostradamus predict
aye
do you know
no
Nostradamus
what did he predict
erm
erm
oh you go
erm
I think
Vince is pulling it up
is he
we want to know
what you think
he predicted
let's not know the facts
because the facts aren't
when was Nostradamus
was he Italian
oh he's French
1925
1925
yeah
1555
you were wrong there Carl
by a few
several hundred years
he collected a couple of wars
1555
and he was French
right
the belt did he hang on is Notre Dame named after him 55. And he was French. Right. The belt of...
Did he...
Hang on.
Is Notre Dame named after him?
Nostradamus.
Notre Dame.
Right.
Is he the hunchback of Notre Dame?
Yeah.
Yeah.
How could we make this episode more retarded?
I don't know how we could have done that then.
Amazing.
It's Nostradamus Quasimodo.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought that was Nol.
He's on the £5 note, isn't he?
I predict a riot.
Right, go on.
That was the Kaiser Chiefs?
That was the Kaiser Chiefs, wasn't it?
He predicted the Kaiser Chiefs.
Nostradamus.
Nostradamus.
This is so stupid. The Great Fire of London, he predicted. Whatdamus. Notredamus. This is so stupid.
Sorry.
He fired of London,
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,
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
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
yeah he said
the blood will
something
burn through
lightning
he's chatting shit
yeah
the ancient lady
will fall from her high place
several of the same sect
will be killed
yeah right I don't respect any prediction oh he's bob on with all of that money I don't respect any prediction The ancient lady will fall from her high place. 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.
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
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
Bob on
Did he predict
Jimmy
The rapey dolphin
No
Because if he did
The Kennedy assassination
He predicted
Yeah
What did he...
Go on.
How did he say that?
From on high,
evil will fall
on the great man.
Shot and...
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?
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
thanks for asking
Emily Davidson
maybe
who
mine's David Copperfield
he's still alive.
So?
Person from...
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?
Winter.
When you're around winter.
November?
I think it was around November to Feb
definitely
freezing
I love it
I love it how
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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,
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
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,
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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
give it a nudge
kaka
so you think
Jews carried
rocks as big
as this building
yeah I think
the Hebrews
built the pyramid
do you
right
yeah
I think so
apparently they used
like a technology
that we can't access
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?
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.
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.
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

aye
we've got
some
questions
James E
have you got a favourite
hate crime
erm
hate crime
where you
commit a crime
based on
your hatred
against a group
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
Thanks for that.
Gay burglary.
Gay burglary.
A gurglary.
Oh, hang on.
Gay and burglary.
A gurglary.
That sounds gay.
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
You drove the fucking bus
Into the wall there
What I just love doing
Is you know
You do all this lovely press
Just to fuck it up
Just love
Dan have you ever
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?
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
Yeah I can make friends without fingering
Alright I can't It's a friend you haven't made yet? Right. Yeah, I can make friends without fingering.
Oh, right, I can't.
It's a friend you haven't made yet,
not a friend you haven't called yet.
Finn, that's where we've been going wrong.
See you later.
You got any questions, Sam?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
was written
was yeah
yeah
fact
it's Liverpool Heritage
isn't it
fact
Liverpool Heritage
Jimmy
the Rapy
Dolphin
do you remember that
yeah
you grew up on it
didn't you
we grew up on it
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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,
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
I'm 22
already Aaron
Aaron
I respect your style
I received a message
from a guy asking
to join in with him
and his sub
for a threesome
I thought you were
going to say son then
with
no
his sub
for a threesome
it's not Olly Gunn
or Schultz his sub for a threesome. It's not Olly Gunnar Scholz. His sub for a threesome.
It was a great experience. Then the day after I went back to her house and slept with her again.
Nice. I still live at home and said to my parents, I was seeing an older woman
that I knew from work. I said she was in her thirties, but she's actually 48. Unsure of how
to tell my parents that she's actually 48 and we met on a
swinger site, do I just live with a lie
or tell them the truth on how we met?
Love the pod, you sexy bastards.
That's from 8A Ron. Why do you need to tell
your parents about this? I know. You're an old
man. Why are you telling your mum that you're
shagging fucking pensioners?
How old is mum? Pensioners.
Bro, come on, bro.
Pensioners. how old's his mum pensioners bro come on bro pensioners you're not 48
don't worry about it
not far off
seven years away
from your pension
my fucking sex bus pass
just keep
22 on a swingers site
the balls on A.A. Ron!
I love him!
Nah, I'm not into Tinder.
Plenty of fish is done.
I'm on a swinger's site
banging some old dude's 48-year-old submissive.
Sounds great.
Submissives sound good, don't they?
Suck my dick.
Clean my car.
And get me a Capri Sun.
There's some things,
there's some drinks that are so innately,
like, childlike.
It's just awful, isn't it?
Like, suck my fucking dick
and then get me a fromage frais.
Sunny day.
Lick out my arsehole
and get me a munch punch.
Smoke in a pipe with a face.
Get us a fucking fruit shoot
it's jimmy the rain i don't know what you're doing on swingers sites at 22 but it sounds fun
there's there's a the 40 year old in me he's like why didn't i do this shit because the internet
wasn't invented shut up just shag on and don't tell your mum. Yeah.
How open are you with your parents?
You're like, I need to,
obviously I need to tell them exactly what I'm doing.
Maybe he found out about this website from his parents because they're top shaggers.
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.
Where'd you sort this shit out? And he was like was like oh it's bangastrangerswife.com and he's got a nice one and he's really fat maybe he wants to just let them know i've used the website and i'm shagging
that's your reaction though isn't it you're like bloody hell mom and dad's room man keep it down
if you left the tv on oh it's a gangbang sorry my initial reaction is i'm going to leave now where did you find out about
this gangbang gangbang getting piled right yeah but that's what would get your attention isn't it
yeah i just think just do whatever you want lad and you don't need to tell your mom and dad just
keep it to your fucking self you are to go on such a weird sex journey
if at 22 you are already on Swinger's website
and knocking on them 48-year-old subs
for a munch punch.
Is he asking them to get involved?
What?
Maybe he's asking them to get involved.
His parents.
Who?
Come with me.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Why else would you tell them?
Right.
I think that's a very specific website,
isn't it?
Piledrivers?
Pilingstrangerswithmemumanddad.com
Yeah.
Forward slash piledrivers.
What was that?
Oh, really?
Dot org.
I reckon it's an org.
Charity.
Nonprofit.
Dot gov.
Dot Cornwall.
Cornwall.wall you're welcome
you okay?
I was just
disappointed with my own joke
just had a little moment
lovely to watch
I really prefer
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
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
wasn't
but it
now I realise
where you're going
and I'm like
okay
okay let me close
this laptop
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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...
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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
that's the name of the podcast
you know
have a word
yeah
on brand
break time
keep an eye out
for the calls
alright
wag wag lids

audiobook about the french revolution to finish so why not uh so i don't think that is ever going to be
used again as an excuse for for doing have a word i've got that hillary mantel audio book and i
thought i know i'll pair this with have a word yeah we were nearly just gonna every now and then
we don't have a guest on a public episode and we just do it yeah um and that's through a combination
sometimes we've gone should we just have a break and just do us and there's been times where people have cancelled very very last minute
this date that we're recording on the 28th aren't we i've asked like loads of people who are like

hot water together i was like well we have a point and you said you want to do it and you went you
don't have to travel i went i'll travel and you were like right okay, we have a point. And you said, you said you want to do it. And you went, you don't have to travel. I went, I'll travel.
We didn't hold that COVID shit against you.
That was like,
we've had some polls where you're like,

My wife is a spoiler.
But that's yeah.
In the old panty D if you're pregnant.

It is. Is it socially distanced?
We're like, no, it's a bubble.
We're in a bubble.
And Adam still shows up to work when he's full of germs.
It's like post-COVID, you arrive, you go, I'm full of flu.
That's how you grow a fucking podcast, baby.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I can't miss this week.
You have to have gaps between us missing weeks.
So I've got a cold.
I've done tests.
It's not COVID.
I've just got that super bug shite that's going round.
Yeah, I've had it three times.
It's a super bug.
Yeah, yeah.
No immunity to it whatsoever.
What are we talking?
What is this?
Isn't the bug always going round?
Garrett, come on.
Not you, man.
You're not the guy that goes,
I've had the super bug three times, surely.
Well, it was a bit of flu, isn't it?
Yeah, all right.
There you go.
It's a bit of a cold.
Do you mean three times ever or recently?
Recently.
I went up to Edinburgh and got it up there
and then I came back
and it only lasted like a day and then a couple of days.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
I don't usually do this to a guest so early on.
Yeah, do it, do it, do it.
So you just, you go up to Edinburgh.
Yeah.
Then the day, for a day after,
you sort of feel rough and I mean no no it wasn't
that look okay yeah it sounds like a hangover no no I can own a hangover no this is like a
super bug and it really came on at about one two o'clock in the in the loft bar when I was doing
Sambuca no loft bar this year though so all right there's no industry or anything it was just uh
fantastic yeah it was great it was. Yeah, it was great.
It was the comics and audiences.
It was Edinburgh's Prague Spring.
Yeah.
Can I just tell you, the way everyone who's made it out,
it's like there wasn't even buildings.
We just did comedy in the meadows.
Yeah, it was that.
There was 12 locals and one fucking...
Yeah, we showed up at the train station
and there were just thousands of Scottish people
and we stood on the carriage of the train
like Lenin coming to St. Petersburgburg it was like the english people are
back with the comedy and they went oh thank you um four stars minimum uh none of that none of that
none of them you've had super flu three times did you get it last night after those couple of tins
i didn't know i'm absolutely that's super flew up the M6 yeah we first became friends
in Edinburgh
a few years ago
didn't we
because we had a similar show time
and our show venues
were about
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
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
quite well despite uh despite also being able to do quite well in basements yeah yeah doing the
jumping from being able to talk for 20 minutes to being able to talk for 55 yeah and uh having
the guardian go yes it's fine um which they did i managed to watch all of it yeah without vomiting
yeah um but that edinburgh was
a big kickoff for you wasn't it because that's where you first sort of got a bit of a tv break
we were talking about this last week we went for the pint garrett is so middle-class straight and
white man that he got his first tv break on conan in los angeles like he can't he can't get booked
on a panel show over here because they're like, we can't have you.
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.
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,
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.
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
fuck
yeah yeah yeah
and it's not better
than Alton Towers
or anything
but I
it's not better
than Alton Towers
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.
There's one in, yeah.
And one in Paris.
Yeah.
And one in Tokyo.
Is there really?
Is there one in Tokyo?
Yeah.
Oh, there you go.
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
and stuff
what
so in Japan
in Tokyo
there's Disneyland
and Disneyland Sea
Disneyland's for kids
yeah
and Disneyland Sea
is for kids
but like
you can
but it's sexy
it's sexy
like Minnie's
Minnie's working around
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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?
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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!
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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,
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.
How is that going to go with the wedding?
Are you going to be able to be passive?
Because you need to be.
I will let my bride have whatever day she wants,
as long as it's not insane.
After the dinner, you get to do a 45 set.
Yeah, yeah. I'm going to be sure. It's all show. Welcome. Phones in the do a 45 set. Yeah, yeah.

Adam's coming out.
He doesn't want this.
Do a Chappelle bit.
But the thing about trans is...
There's going to be a Patreon for the wedding.
That's when some people are just sat there
and Adam goes to a side room.
And all they can hear is the fun going in.
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.
Yeah, I think as long as like,
I've had a bit of an input in like the venue,
like I get a say in most of it.

on a fucking
love a wheel of cheese.
He's just Adam
taking it to another room
going this is the top tier
of the Patreon
no cream for the guests
yeah
right
that's what I want
my father-in-law
did the cheese
for my
wife's sister's wedding
that we met
about seven years ago
and literally
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
do you want more meat
everyone's just like
in a fucking meat coma
and then for the night time
I think

back to the episode
have you seen that
Phil Collins is going to be in court
come on
what for Adam
because
it was claimed
that he didn't brush his teeth
or have a shower for the year
and he's
accusing someone
of slander
because it's not true his ex-wife yeah who ran off with a toy boy just see if I'd have a shower for the year. And he's accusing someone of slander.
His ex-wife.
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.
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
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
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
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
taking a piss
he was denying it wasn't he
and she was like
I can feel it in the air
tonight
very good
Carl
Carl Carl you know absolute car crash I don't take them Tonight? Very good. Carl. Carl.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
from a song
rather than a song title.
Is it?
Yeah.
Oh,
don't know about that.
Hang on.
Fire,
fire,
four minutes
and six seconds.
Do you remember?
Oh,
guys.
That's from in the air tonight.
No, no.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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?
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!
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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? I was like it arrived and i was like i'm a fucking war hero so so i called up a
mate of mine who's actually served in afghanistan i went did you get a letter he's like did i fuck
i got a letter i'm a bloody war hero it says like the name of the operation and stuff and says you
know it's only due to the actions of people like you coming at the last minute to do things like
that to keep the morale of the men that allows the british military to operate and stuff and i was
like yeah yeah yeah yeah it's mad how random the
names of the operations are aren't they like they always just like pick a word do you know what it
was i can't remember um but it was like operation wheelbarrow sparrow hawk right do you know that
for a fact are you just i've seen he's read enough novels McNab novels to know we're getting
we're getting people
out of Kabul airport

And people were just taking them
And
Oh jeez
Well you can make that joke
As a veteran

As soon as the watch started vibrating, I was like...
Do you know how much of a circuit comic I am in my head?
Like, you said you're from Chelmsford, and that was in Colchester,
and I was like, that's relatively local.
Yeah, it was pretty local.
It was all right.
I was home before 10.
Oh, nice.

I'm expected
to back her up on
but I don't want
to get my head kicked in
just because she can't
wind her neck in.
Any advice here
would be appreciated.
Start hosting
dinner parties
invite people you don't like make the
situation work for you just fill it with wine yeah fill it with wine and be like cunt this guy off
people you're trying to get out of your lives that one fuck off yeah yeah rent her out rent
her out to complaints departments and stuff you want to you want to really fucking ruin someone's
day be like right you drink these six cans of special brew and we're going to wheel you into
the offices of virgin media and we're going to have a fun time yeah i um i've sympathized a
little bit because laura is weirdly confident of her like she's she thinks she's hard when she's
had a few right heavies yeah sam can be a bit hard when she's had a few right heavies yeah sam can be
a bit spicy when she's had a drink right yeah yeah you can be a bit did you just call me
outside you you call me babe or something what are you pissed off at me right now fuck off
but not she's not like does she think she can fight no well i don't know actually there was
that girl in the jetty cinnamon queue who as soon as she was arguing with me and threatened me does she think she can fight no well I don't know actually there was that
girl in the
Jenny Cinnamon queue
who as soon as she was
arguing with me
and threatening me
Sam jumped in
and was like
I'll fucking smash your
fucking head in
yeah
I think that
girls often go
a bit peacock big
don't they
they're like
I know how to do this
I'll go big and loud
yeah
fuck her
yeah
and hope that people go
fucking hell
she looks like she really knows how to fight i don't
think laura's ever swung the fucking fist do the time-honored thing with a woman to be like
of standing just out of our eye line and saying to the person who's doing sorry
yeah get her out and then going yeah it doesn't have to be any more than that that's that's that's
been going on for centuries that move it's in the back move. What I do when my missus starts fighting strangers,
I do a similar thing.
I stand just behind her, but I become a hype man.
So she's like, you're a fucking slag.
And I'm like, disrespectful.
Say it again.
What?
You actually make it worse.
Let's go.
Say it again.
You guys are the talk of the local weather spooks.
He's very progressive, Adam.
He doesn't fight for her, but he does hype her up.
Very supportive.
She got a jaw broke once, but...
Ow!
Ow!
Ow!
I know she did, darling.
Ow!
She's making you look like a butt!
Christopher Walken.
Wow.
Hopefully don't do that if she starts a fight with some black people,
because I think that might make it worse.
If I start doing it if i start doing accents associated with black people they might get
they'll find it very flattering and uh yeah and it will diffuse the situation as they'll say
he's you know so i'd have to pick a different accent
the chinese one yeah That's respectful.
Was that northern or southern?
It's Cambodian.
Oh, why?
He's asking what happened to the electricity.
Oh, my God, I'm going to knock you down the apples and pears.
The worst one would be Brummie for that, wouldn't it?
It's disrespectful.
It sounds like I'm just, like, correcting her.
Don't do that, babe.
It's disrespectful.
Oh, no.
Don't do that.
Garrett's got a good one.
Let's go
Oh come on
Why are you always embarrassing me
Come on
Oh Garrett
Lost it at the end there
That was nice
Yeah
Geordie's the best one
Howie
Howie
Man
You cannot punch a baby
Or just stand behind her and be like
I've seen her do it
I just I've seen her do it. I just...
I've seen her do it.
I just wouldn't...
So, yeah.
So, listener to the podcast,
I believe you're being asked by Anonymous
to stop having a bloody good time
because you can't defuse social tension.
I reckon you live your best life.
You do whatever you want to do.
Keep fighting in kebab shops.
Keep fighting in kebab shops. Line them up get the shots down yeah and just speak your truths do you
imagine if she changed her ways completely like i used to fight in takeaways but now because garrett
miller was on have a word i just don't do that anymore i'm just at home with the phil collins
record chilling out doing offensive Chinese voices.
We need to have a word with him. It's not her we're having a word with.
It's him. Yeah.
You've got to let her fight.
You can't cage your brid.
If Laura...
From before.
If Laura started a proper fight,
I'd be like, I am not getting my
fucking head knocked in
because you don't know how to wind your neck in
when you're in a fucking take away.
If it's with other women, yeah,
but if it's with a man, get involved.
Oh, is it car?
You can't be funny.
Well, the man should know that you don't,
you know,
you don't meet aggression from ladies with aggression.
Oh, thank you for that, the 1820s.
I don't think you've been to a take away where car lives.
I probably haven't.
He said, look, the lady is getting
a bit out of sorts.
Everybody just let her
burn herself out, but just don't...
What kind of Jane Austen takeaways
do you go, dear sir,
control your lady.
She doth knock out
the cheese in my chips.
She has said something questionable
To the proprietor
How dare you
You cad you bounder
So West Derby when you're saying it out loud
Pete
No just leave I'd leave her to it mate
Even if it was a mate
She's caused it
Go bigger than she does
What?
Absolutely not no no no you can't do that
Because you'd definitely get your head kicked in there like play bad cop bad cop like she's gone big you go
fucking massive yeah and then she feels stupid and calm down right and then you're in that's
an idea why don't you pre-drink and you do it to her so before she gets all larry you do it and be
like see that's what it's like. Yeah.
That's interesting.
Sounds healthy.
Or art of fight
with a load of women.
Or why don't you just break up
because you both clearly
got different ideas of fun.
Right.
You two sound like
a great invite.
You're absolutely incompatible.
One more.
Shall we go
limp dick,
jazz cabbage
or pervy neighbour?
Stee, your call.
Stee?
Limp dick jazz cabbage.
Okay, this is from a non.
This is from Finn.
No, this is from Elijah.
It says, please keep me anonymous.
Hi Liz, please can you have a word with my boyfriend
for his affliction to jazz cabbage weed, Garrett?
Right, right, okay.
Or me for not being more understanding.
Right.
I've been with my boyfriend for five years now
and he's always been partial to the old weed.
He's a British-born St. Lucian,
so he's smoked since he was a teenager.
I hadn't tried it before meeting him.
We were both 23,
but I like it on social occasions.
What?
I don't. It's the baby's Christmas christmas yeah who gets blazed up at a funeral
we do it in saint lucian and since we have both moved to the big city and started our careers
he's smoking more and more i've put this down to stress but unfortunately it's starting to affect
our sex life i should mention that i'm very horny and will quite happily have sex every evening.
I'm aware this could be a bit much for some people.
You horny bitch.
Five o'clock?
Yeah.
Once a day?
Woo!
Once I get my pudding in me.
I'm aware this could be
a bit much for some people.
He isn't always up for it,
but when he is,
he only lasts a few minutes.
He always says sorry
and often slumps
to his computer games.
I do feel sorry for him.
Stop shagging him while he's on the plane.
Fucking Xbox.
This means I don't currently...
This means I don't currently during sex...
Oh, finish currently.
And often need to finish the job myself.
This can be a bit difficult to do discreetly
when you live in a small flat.
This has been going on for about five months.
I googled it and it says this is common
for those who smoke a lot of weed.
I love him and want to help him,
but honestly, I'm so disappointed by our sex life.
So please, can you advise what to do
as I'm horny and annoyed?
Big love to you all.
Annoyed.
On a different day?
I mean... Break up, you've clearly got different ideas of fun.
By the way, this isn't limp dick, is it?
No, he's got a hard dick.
It just doesn't last long.
Disinterested dick.
Yeah.
Stoned dick.
Yeah.
Is it?
PlayStation dick.
Limp dick is not that hard, isn't it?
He can get hard.
He's just not arsed he's lazy
yeah
he's cheating on her
you reckon
yeah
with weed
it
yeah
mistress
there's nothing in that email
makes me think he's cheating on her
Mary Jane
what if it's the same couple
the first one we dealt with
it's like I cannot deal with the aggro when she goes out
she's either fighting or fucking i'm gonna have a fucking spliff and try and calm down and they're
both writing into the podcast to try and get advice and we're just seeing the two different
worlds he's been he's been punched out in a weather spoons it's like i just want to play
fifa and have a fucking joint and she's like fuck me he does sound a bit like there doesn't he
has short sex then jumps on the xbox or the playstation yeah he needs to fucking pull his
finger out probably doesn't he literally finish it off put it up her ass yeah
i'm sorry phil collins song for that
um i i as soon as you get to this point i just don't know where
how this gets sorted if she's 23 none of us are qualified agony on so
a bunch of fucking idiots going oh no but if we did that for every email there'd be no end to the
podcast right right um i just don't know like where this goes like how does she not just go
look if you can't
stop smoking weed
and bang me more
like I wish I had
this fucking problem
like it's just
well this is quite a
moving substance
abuse problem
that's being couched
in you know
why don't you swing
with them
right
oh yeah
oh yeah
she wants sex
ball man
plays cod
your missus wants
to play playstation
she's always on about it
isn't she
that's the problem
in our relationship
she wants to play
call of duty
and I want
more sex
which I'm not allowed
to talk about
because this is a public episode
love you babe
love you
she's gonna cheat
isn't she
she's absolutely
gonna cheat
yeah she's she's on she's on the exit ramp I didn's absolutely gonna cheat yeah she's on
she's on the exit
ramp there
I didn't know weed
fucked up your sex life
though I didn't know
that
it makes you want to
do nothing
right
so I think that's
like all encompassing
I've never had an issue
myself
yeah absolutely
shagga even went high
had a doobie
fucked a babe
classic Finn
that's me
you I haven't
I don't smoke weed
and I'm rubbish at sex
so it's like
you know okay good how are you at Call of. I don't smoke weed and I'm rubbish at sex. So it's like, you know.
Okay, good.
How are you at Call of Duty?
I can't play computer games.
What?
What year were you born, Garrett?
Because I'm starting to think you're not of this era.
No, no, I'm not.
I was born in the 80s, but yeah, I'd be more comfortable in other times.
I find most things about life I don't really get on with.
And I look at old pictures and go, I could have done that.
And I ask for it not to be taken.
Yeah.
And he stood there for hours.
Mate, I think you've got to say, look, I love you,
but you've got to stop smoking weed and fuck me.
Which, if you're a guy and you cannot,
like, something's majorly wrong.
Like, if you're a hot 23-year-old missus,
he's like, stop smoking weed
and stick your dick in me more.
Has he got the new PlayStation, though?
Oh, yeah.
Because if he's, like, you know...
It's a PS5, then.
Yeah, it's a PS5,
then it's like, no one's got one of those.
He's not going to get back to you. Everyone's got a 23-year-old girlfriend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. PS5's hot. And you don't know if he's like, you know... It's a PS5, then... Yeah, it's a PS5. Then it's like, no one's got one of those. He's... Right.
Get back to you.
Everyone's got a 23-year-old girlfriend.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
PS5's hard.
And you don't know if he's hard either.
Right.
No.
But that is for people who like computer games.
That's the thing, isn't it?
The new PS5 is exciting.
Yeah.
Have you got one?
I've got the Xbox.
Right.
New Xbox.
Okay.
I just play it once Sam's gone to bed,
once we've done a good pounding.
Done a good pounding.
I just watch YouTube videos of people fixing vintage furniture.
Yeah.
Yeah.
After I go pounding?
Yeah.
Do you actually watch that?
Yeah.
I can't get enough of it.
People...
I can't get enough.
I can't get enough.
He's a patron.
Yeah.
Have you ever played on a PS5 because i think it might blow
your fucking mind i got a ps4 for a bit and didn't get on with it so i sold it right i find it like
a film where i'm being asked to do too much i'm like i've sat here you do it and i'm not just i
got a brilliant way this is annoying it is the end of your own it's absolutely annoying yeah so
i really like i've liked batman films so i was
like i've got the bat everyone's like the batman games are great i was like this isn't good i don't
want to be back i want to watch batman i don't want to be i don't want to have to go and find
the joker myself so i just ended up like not being able to be batman very well for ages and then i
was it got it stressed me out um do you watch videos of what um i like watching uh i've just got this image in my head
of you playing like a superman game and just staying in the office's clock and be like i don't
care if people are dying i've got an email to do well when i was when i was teaching my my uh my
mate sister do you remember the original gta with a top down view yeah right she would uh his younger
sister would be like i want to go on the computer and his mom was like you have to let her have a go so she'd get on and she liked playing gta but what she liked to do
is like a little driving simulator she'd drive around she'd stop at the traffic lights and then
when they went green they'd move on and her brother would be like she's not doing any missions
and her mom's just like she's enjoying it in her own way and he was like no and she's as happy as
larry just driving this little car around. So cute.
Yeah, it was great.
It's so much more innocent than like,
oh, I've beaten up a prostitute.
Yay!
Yeah, she found a lot to enjoy in GTA.
But yeah, no, I've tried to like computer games
because they get good press
and it's the sort of thing I feel like I should enjoy.
But I find it more of an obligation.
I bought this fucking stupid thing for 400 quid
i have to try and like it and then in the end it was just like fuck it i'm ebaying it i've
had enough of this i'm thinking about getting it i want to get i really loved golf games
tiger woods golf the old tiger was game oh he's going to play golf no because i can't
say golf it's not good at golf i'm not a member of a golf club yeah yeah fair enough whereas like
when people go
are you a gamer
I'm like no
but then there was
a bit of me
that loved just
very relaxing golf games
yeah I quite liked it
what would be good
for a golf
I don't need a PS5
for a golf game
do I
no
it's a bit too much
hardware
an Amiga
yeah one of the
ones from
what's your advice
that you relax to then
I don't really
relax
like it
spider
I drive to gigs and I do gigs
and then I come home and I quite like
I like listening to music
some music
so I've got quite a big record collection
and I like
I like the things,
you look at me and you go, yes.
Like I like Pink Floyd and books about the Second World War.
Do you like whiskey?
I used to like whiskey, but I can't drink it anymore
because it gives me very bad acid indigestion.
And I got terrible gout during lockdown.
So I can't have whiskey anymore.
What have you replaced whiskey with?
Nothing. Like it's just been taken off the menu. So can I have whiskey anymore. What have you replaced whiskey with? Nothing.
It's just been taken off the menu.
So I can't have whiskey anymore.
I just drink lager now.
That's all I can.
You and I, the other night,
we finished on a bourbon.
I just couldn't finish it.
Two sips and I feel like someone's stabbing me in the throat.
So yeah.
I can't even.
I've developed an allergy.
I used to really like coffee. I've developed an allergy allergy to caffeine so i can't have that anymore either what's the how does the allergy manifest itself uh i just get i get like really
bad tunnel vision it's like you know you get jitters off um caffeine it's like that but like
times a thousand like my heart starts going i think even though i know why it's happening i
think like people are trying to kill me my fight flight mechanism goes i get like tunnel vision i start shaking you've od'd on
coffee i have i started drinking coffee when i was 10 and what the fuck i used to drink like uh
about 12 cups of coffee a day what and and then i uh in primary school uh yeah just just coming
out of primary school into secondary school a lot of pressure yeah yeah so when I was a have a decaf Garrett come on yeah so I used to drink a lot a lot of
coffee uh and then um and then started you know you know how it happens as a gateway drug into
Red Bull and then you're having loads of Red Bull and I started driving around being a comedian
then coffee Red Bulls all the time and then about two years ago just went bang just went no same thing with red wine used to drink a lot of red wine and i
just can't i've had my i've had my lifetime quota in my 20s so now if i have red wine my knees hurt
that's a robot
i love it who the fuck is a 10 year old addicted to caffeine yeah
these SATs are a bastard
how old were you
when you started smoking
I was
19 when I started smoking
I thought you were going to say 9
no no no
you had into smoking
I was like do you know what
coffee
have you got an addicted personality
yeah probably yeah
yeah that's
that's fair
I do
I'm like yeah the Pringles thing if I have one I'll have a lot Yeah, probably, yeah. Yeah, that's fair. I do...
I'm like...
Yeah, the Pringles thing.
If I have one, I'll have a lot.
Yeah, I think every good comedian
has got a problem with sort of moderation.
Yeah, because this is...
Essentially, if you're a comedian,
you are doing a hobby that got out of hand.
Yeah.
So that's like...
There's something in our wiring
that makes us good at what we do,
makes us want to do it,
that is also like... Yeah. You cannot be sensible that makes us good at what we do, makes us want to do it, that is also like,
you cannot be sensible at those points.
It was really, really tantalising during lockdown
because I thought for a bit,
oh, I could do without this.
Like, I don't need this.
And so that first lockdown one,
I was like,
maybe I'll go and do something else.
And then I did one gig
and you're back
and they were like three metres apart
all wearing masks
and you're in a car park.
And I was like,
no, I need this.
I need this. These little eyes just shaking, laughing masks you're in a car park and i was like no i need this i need this his little eyes just shaking laughing when you're doing like uh two-year-old material yeah doing
two-year-old material at a shit gig and you still get like the rush of thing and you go yeah it's
i'm a proper where was our site and it was how to do comedy
and it was taught through the medium of just doing stand-up comedy yeah i was in a conference center
you wouldn't you would have made great smugglers back i was one of the key keynote speakers
and literally went welcome to the comedy. There was a thing during the first break
before we went to lockdown too.
So we got out and they were allowed to do
various forms of crap gig.
And then I remember at the beginning you go out
and everybody's there like,
we're out, this is so,
who gives a fuck if I'm wearing a mask
and I have to order in an app
and I'm sitting five miles away from everyone.
It's just great.
So you'd say anything and they'd be like,
and then I was doing a gig
at the end of September
and it was raining
and they were all in coats
in a marquee
on the side of a pub
miles apart from,
and you could see
this rain just lashing down,
just went out
and everyone was like,
fuck this.
And I was like,
oh, the honeymoon is over.
People have got to the-
These people want buildings again now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think people are gigging too,
a lot of the comedians I know are gigging too much because I think we've all got PTSD from when it was taken away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think people are gigging too... A lot of the comedians I know are gigging too much
because I think we've all got PTSD
from when it was taken away.
Yeah, yeah, I'm gigging way too much.
I've spoken to so many comics who are like,
oh, man, I just keep saying yes to every gig
because they've had it taken away
and now they're like...
Yeah, Adam says to me at midnight,
like, do you want to drive four hours up to Liverpool
to have a chat with us?
And I'm like, yeah, yeah.
I've taken a day off to be with my eight-month-old daughter,
but no, fuck it, I'm coming to Liverpool. I was in Liverpool literally days ago and I've come... I'm up, yeah my 8 month old daughter but no fuck it I'm coming to Liverpool
I was in Liverpool literally days ago
I'm up yeah yeah
Let's fucking go 5 hours sleep
Allergy to caffeine let's go
You are the absolute proof of what I just said

Resolution to those
