Enjoy this week's episode of the Have A Word podcast brought to you by manscaped.com.
It's going to be a belter.
Wag wag lids.
Thanks for downloading the public episode of Have A Word.
If you're enjoying this podcast, if you like what me and Adam and the boys do,
then you will love our patron, which by the way is the
biggest patron in the UK. What is patron? It's an app that you can download, you sign up, and then
it's basically a subscription service for VIP membership to this pod. You get loads of benefits,
you get extra episodes, loads of content, and it's also a way of supporting the podcast. And then this
is what you get. You get an hour and a half extra episode every week. Pure, unfiltered, concentrated, have a word bullshit.
And honestly, it's some of our best podcasting
because the public episode goes everywhere, all over the internet.
The patron exclusives, that gets a little bit squirrely.
You also get early release of the public episode.
The pubes get it on Monday.
You can watch it on Saturday morning.
You can also get discounts on merch.
You can get discounts on live show tickets. To be honest, the live show tickets go to Patreon first.
And because we've got as many patrons as we've got, they never go on general sale. So if you
want to see a podcast live show, you probably have to sign up. But here's the extra layer that people
are loving, which are the one-offs that we're filming and putting on Patreon. The Thank You
Live Show, The Last Dance, My Last Ever Beat the Frog, which was one of the funniest
two hours of live comedy
I've ever been involved in.
The Ghost Hunt we did with Barry Dodds.
We also did the Laura's Gone
number one recording studio day.
That was a documentary.
That's now up there.
And finally, to seal the deal,
we've also got four
of the lockdown lock-ins.
The infamous lockdown lock-ins
where we get absolutely shit-faced
in the studio and go way too far
and record it for your
entertainment. It's a phenomenal drink-along
that you do not want to miss. We've done it with
Ishan, we've done it with Johnny Bongo, we've done it with
Stephen Trice, and there is another one coming in
January. All in all, this is
the biggest UK patron for a
reason, because it's funny as fuck,
it's great value, you will not
regret it. For the price of a
fancy coffee,
once a month you pay three quid
and you become a VIP lid.

The link is in the description of this episode.
That's me done.
Me gone.
Go ahead.
Get on me.
Enjoy the episode.
Now, I'm getting the word nuts.
Oh, you think darkness is your ally?
Cha!
Upset me, nasty bitch!
Disgusting!
Wag wag leads,
you're listening to the funniest podcast in the game
with Adam, Dan, Sensei Carl and Finn.
Shut up, Finn.
You good-looking, big-fingered Welsh weirdo.
This is the one and only, the now infamous, the soon-to-be legendary.
Have a word.
Go, Ed. Get on me. Have you got Parkinson's?
What's happened with that cup of tea?
It's coffee.
Fucking hell, mate.
You've had a right fucking...
I mean, if I did have Parkinson's at the minute,
that would be really insensitive, wouldn't it?
I can tell on someone like that.
Oh, no, it's just on the side.
You've just had a little spill.
Yeah, it's just.
You look like you've had a.
All the way back from the coffee making area.
Over here.
I'm in a permanently good mood at the minute.
Just always just in a good mood
permanently good mood it does help when you're winning
bare awards
at the chortle awards don't it I mean that makes you
feel pretty good
I mean we all
won an award
fucking liar
we are the champions my friend
I mean to get all
of them to get or and you also
like we've got to remember beat the frog as well because they got missed off the tweet and then the
frog were like oh dan you've already forgotten i didn't know they'd won that no so they won best
new comedy club hot water won best club alfie won best show adam was won best uh club comedian and
we won best podcast up your fucking fucking ass! Up the word.
Oh, aye.
It's really, really funny, isn't it?
Because Chortle, for years,
like, a big criticism of it,
and a very valid one,
is that it's so London-centric
and that it hates Northern comedy.
And then it's an absolute clean sweep
for Northern comedy.
And obviously, Alfie's London-based,
but he's fucking one of ours,
you know what I mean?
I think the lids have been a big part of that,
haven't they?
I think these award shows might been a big part of that haven't they I think
these award shows
might stop
nominating us soon
because
the public vote
thing is so
unbelievably unfair
if we're involved
like I'm not the
best club comedian
in the country
according to Chortle
I'm the best
who got nominated
who has 12,000
patrons
no I think you'd
have won that anyway I'm not saying that as you may No, I think you'd have won that anyway.
I'm not saying that as you mean it.
Yeah, I think you've...
I mean, all of those guys were very good,
but it does help that you're very, very good
and you've got ultras, lids, the lid army,
and then all the fucking pubes
who, by the way, we don't...
It's not like...
I know we give them stick for not signing up to Patreon,
but they're a massive part of that vote as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Club comedian who hasn't done a club in two months.
Yeah, but so this is the thing.
So first of all, I'll just say this.
So they announced on Chortle when the voting closed,
they said the Chortle Awards voting is now closed
and almost 10,000 votes have been cast and the second
i seen that i went oh we've won everything because at least half of them will have been our patrons
um yeah so when i got nominated for best club comedian i remember there was a couple of
colleagues of mine who were like why the fuck are they nominating you for club comedian you've got a 70-day tour at the minute here's the thing i take like for years within comedy club comedian
has been a sneer he's just a club comic i call me special laugh for a reason i'm very proud that's
where i started and i still identify as that and i will always be as far as i'm concerned
a club comic all the best comics are club comics yeah i will never not
be a comic who does the clubs oh yeah like when you say i haven't done a club for two months i
haven't done a weekend at a comedy club for two months i've been a hot water in the middle of
this tour and just gone and fucked about on a monday and a wednesday because that's how you
stay good yeah and all the best american comics when they're done with their tour they go back
to the comedy clubs and they work it out. And I will always do that
no matter how successful I get
and how many tour tickets I'm selling
and how many tour dates I'm selling.
So if there was any award
at the Chortle Awards
I'd give a shit about,
I'd want to win that one.
Congrats, man.
It's nice.
Very, very nice.
It does feel...
And also,
I didn't get nominated
or win Best Compaire.
Thank you!
Oh, thank you! That was honestly nominated or win best comp pair. Thank you. Oh, thank you.
That was honestly the biggest win of the night,
me not being nominated or winning.
Thank you.
Shortle.
It's so funny, isn't it?
Because you're like, oh, fucking Shortle.
What a load of fucking bullshit.
Oh my God, did we win?
Nice one.
Thank you.
I was like, oh yeah.
The year I got the four and a half stars,
I got it early in the fringe.
No one had got a five stars.
And on the reviews that you went on short,
and it was me and David O'Doherty,
who I've just said all the best comics are club comics.
It's not actually true.
There are amazing comics who are festival comics and whatnot.
All my favorites usually are the guys that have smashed the clubs
and in America.
But then there are some amazing comics like David O'Doherty,
who you'll probably never see in a club.
But I was very proud of that.
And literally at the start of that fringe, I was like,
I might even tell Chortle to fuck off.
I might just say, don't bother.
I'm a Northern white comic.
You're bored of it.
You don't need to do it.
I nearly sent an email going, do you want to just ignore me
and just leave me alone
and not do the
meh
if this does
you got four and a half
I got four and a half
I was like
god I fucking love Chortle
really I respect them
you can also though
say that like
the idea of
reviewing comedy
from people who've never done it
and the fact that
Chortle has been so
London centric for so long
is utter bullshit
and there's a lot of
shite around it
and you can not like it and
also still just be like oh
we won an award that is mainly voted
for by the public and the industry you can still be happy
about it. Absolutely and
appreciate everyone who voted
and when we ask for you to
vote and stuff like that I know like
it's not all the time and everything but
it's massive when you sort of mobilise
because there are some massive podcasts.
I said this the last time when we won Podbible.
Massive podcasts we're going against,
and they've got huge listenerships
that just aren't as hardcore as us.
Nowhere near.
So when we go,
please, could you do this?
And you're like, fucking yes.
They've got casual listeners.
We've got 12,000 members.
I reckon we could go around the world,
and there's a core group who follow us
to everyone yeah the ultras yeah oh you know where they are as well so massive oh i've got a
speeding ticket i got a parking space okay well done mate hey top of the league
well done my bung it was a bung, though.
It was in Abramovich.
Golden ticket to watch me at any comedy show
or doing a poo from here till the end of time.
I got told not to tell anyone,
so I'm just going to tell half a million people
or however many listen this week.
I just, on my way into my building the other day,
a member of staff, I won't mention who it was,
she just went, where's my free tickets to your tour show?
I went, where's me fucking parking space?
The next day I got a phone.
What a friendly people they are in Liverpool.
Where's my fucking ticket, lads?
Where's my parking space?
And the next day she rang me,
and she's like,
got you a parking space.
Tell no one.
Apart from.
It was in her bag as well.
Everyone on the air.
There's the parking space.
Park it in here.
Don't worry. It was in a bag as well. Everyone on the internet. There's the package. Pack it in here. Don't worry.
It's a big envelope.
Was it in your new car, Daniel?
You're naughty.
Have you been speeding with your tyres?
What are you meant to do?
It's fast.
You're meant to drive it fast.
What were you doing in what?
I'm shitting it now.
Because I got it last Thursday.
I did 61 in a 50
Where you got the
On the
Coming off the bridge
Me too

You're wrong corn
How did you get done there?
Oh yeah
That's all three of us
Yeah
Dickhead
But I've been driving
Like a fucking bell end
For a week and a half
And it's taken them a week
To send the speeding fine.
I'm now shitting it that there's going to be letter after letter,
like you're a fucking bellend, you're a bellend.
And then I'm going to get Freddie Quinton six months off.
You cannot challenge four speeding tickets by going,
I got a Z4 and it's faster than anything I've ever got.
And the top was down and I'm bald.
And the air was flowing through my head
i'm scared i haven't i've only just got it remapped oh fuck you're fucked
so i got it from getting remapped if you get banned then got the speeding ticket i was like
i've just made it faster if you get banned i'll drive it for you to make to keep the engine that
sound like you know you need another parking space then no i'll just sell my car oh nice one love and then in six months i'll buy a new car or i'll

Matthew.
That was fast, that.

Yeah.
What can you get away with, you know?
Because you don't trust the fucking busies, do you?
No, you can't do like-
Why didn't you rent somewhere on the dock
and then you could just live a crime-filled life?
You should have just rented on the docks
because I like to live on the edge so I'm on the
edge of the docks yeah yeah yeah
I'm in your jurisdiction still don't
give a fuck them pussies
living on the docks
easy not giving a fuck about the busies on the
docks
what about the coast you got a what about the coast guard
oh that's where the jurisdiction
what the seagrass seagrass don't trust them either mate they're in cahoots with the fucking
fish in there i like the coast guard oh yeah he's pro coast guard
yeah because he's always keeping all the fucking walls out, mate. Keeping Birkenhead at bay. With what? What?
Uzis.
That's how they get over.
Keeping all the walls out?
Yeah.
What do you think they are, like?
Africans on a dinghy trying to get to Italy?
They're coming through the tunnel.
What?
They're coming through the tunnel.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They've got to pay the toll for that.
That's what Liverpool's expected.
All of the Birkenhead walls are like,
I think we need to go to Liverpool.
We're going to emigrate to Liverpool.
In that voice.
Because that's a wall voice, essentially, isn't it? Of course.
I think we should go on dinghies.
Not expecting it.
Underestimating it.
Now with the Coast Guards there with oozes.
Hey!
And that's what they do just before they shoot.
Hey, lad!
It's quite a short distance gun as well.
You'd have to... Back to Hamilton Square, you cunt!
Fuck it, no.
Don't mess with the coast guard.
They sound rough as fuck.
I will shoot a hole in your fucking dinghy
and the next shot's going through you.
No, back over there.
Turn it around. Where would you aim? Going through you. No, back over there.
Turn it around.
Where would you aim?
I hate your questions.
Fucking hate your questions.
I can see it in his eyes.
If war struck the UK.
What are you on about?
Where would you get your dinghy to, Daniel?
Where would I get my dinghy to?
Oh, Isle of Man, innit?
Isle of Man.
No, they're getting fucked up, then.
Amsterdam.
What?
What are you talking about?
If Warstruck the UK, where are you safe?
Where's a quick, just go to the Isle of Man.
Go and hang out with Nelson, where they're all like... It's not the UK, though.
The island people.
Isn't that close to the UK?
I think it'd be safe.
Channel Islands.
Can't call them island people anymore.
Island boys, innit?
It's a slayer against the Isle of Man.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It is.
It's basically as bad as the N-word these days.
You've been looking at Sophie Hagen's Twitter.
I'm not from the Isle of Man,
so maybe I don't have an opinion.
I'm not talking about her.
I'm not talking about her.
I'm not giving her the attention she craves.
What's the word you can't say?
You stupid fucking gobshite cunt.
What's the word you can't say?
We're all blocked.
Mate,
the whole of the police force and now Sophie Hagen.
Everyone's getting burnt down
and we're winning awards doing it.
What's the word you can't say
on the Alamant?
Is it rat?
Yeah.
Can't say the word rat
on the Alamant.
We'd be fucked.
That's actually a fact.
You can't call someone a rat on the Isle of Man we'd be fucked that's actually a fact you can't call someone a rat that is like
akin to like
calling someone's mother
a fucking
cum guzzling whore
which we do
every third week
yeah
on this yeah yeah yeah
yeah but like
you wouldn't do it to a stranger
isn't it on their flag or something
or is it the three legs isn't it
three legs on it
but there's something to do with rats
on the Isle of Man
is it the plague
yeah
the plage
don't say rat on
there
hey shout out the
island man
if you know what
the rat thing is
can we pull it up

I think it's double
T as well isn't it

but it's just
no they say long tail
instead of rat
the old long tail
yeah
I reckon you'd be safe there
for a bit
if the UK gets invaded
if there's war
just fuck off to there
I'd go to Amsterdam me
I'd be the best comic
on the Isle of Man
I'd get a kayak from Newcastle to Amsterdam.
So where is the invasion coming from
that you're going to mainland Europe to be safe?
I felt like the Isle of Man was going away from the problem.
Canada to fucking as well.
The Canadians.
Classic.
Because, just like the fucking wolves coming over the Mersey,
we weren't expecting an attack from Canada.
Underestimate them.
We said,
oh, he was shit.
Trudeau.
We said, oh, he was shit.
And they were like,
whoa, let's go, lad.
Start a war.
And Trudeau came,
he was at the front like,
hey.
Trudeau.
Trudeau.
Good stuff.
Thank you for the question,
Carl.
Loved it.
Are you gigging on the Isle of Man for your tour?
Yep. It was a mistake.

Before you even join in, shut up, Finn.
Shaking your big Welsh-Turkish head.
Actually, it's phenomenal music.
I'm too impatient for them to sing what they could say in 10 seconds.
It pisses me off.
Then you'd really like hamilton apart from disney

promotion for you yeah move the film on make the lion king 14 minutes it was actually about

Yeah, but you can't explain that in words.
That's an event, isn't it?
And you're seeing it.
This is just, oh, don't make me mean it.
Carl, you're really contradicting your own argument
and your hatred of musicals.
I'm on your side,
but you're fucking it up with the love of Disney.
If you're going to dig your heels on something,
make sure your argument is resolute,
like mine always is.
I think Disney's a different thing.
Sorry. I just don't like men talking about the the shit i'm saying you like cartoons though yeah who doesn't
like yeah yeah men cartoons yeah i love men cartoons i just don't like men singing get a job

Don't put me over.
Don't give me six points.
Hey, you're a phenomenal contradiction, Ralph.
Look, I can hate police and love musicals
all at the same time.
There's just more things that have never been said
in the history of man.
Fucking hate the busies,
unless they are keeping Western musicals safe.
And then, I salute you, PC Plot.
Is it a police musical?
Because!
Because dirty dancing needs protecting!
Oh, shit. What? Jason Manford's been in loads of musicals. Yeah,. Oh, shit.
What?
Jason Manford's been in loads of musicals.
Yeah, he has, yeah.
Sweeney Todd, shite.
Chitty Bang Bang Belter, because it's from his childhood.
Guys and Dolls.
Carl hates musicals.
Unless he heard of them before he was 18.
Hey, it's got flying cars in it
Oh lad
Hamilton's got the American Civil War in it
Fuck off got a flying
Flying cars in the American Civil War
It's the same thing
I'll say it to him
I'll see what he says

Manfred fucking loves it Manfred's got a bit of the old showman in him And he'll bring that out three yeah great so we've got three cunts singing and dancing don't go anywhere manford fucking
loves it manford's got a bit of the old showman in him and he'll bring that out and then finn
will be like tapping along with his finger breaking the fucking keyboard will be really hurt my hand
i just i'm very impatient and it moves over into musicals i also hate period dramas because nothing
happens nothing happens. Nothing happens.
They all just go,
oh, yeah,
and then just talk for a bit
and then go home.
Yeah, that's, yeah.
Sense and sensibility
described by...
What happens in Pride and Prejudice?
What happens?
It's a very complicated love story.
Someone refuses to change
their prejudice beliefs
because they've got too much pride.
Nailed it.
I mean mean that is
the answer of the kid
that didn't read the book
or what so ever
I think it's about
someone who's
dead prejudiced
he hates Asians
he's also proud
of it
of his culture
as a white
it's actually about race
I imagine
and he realises
that his prejudice
sort of counteracts
the pride of the asian community
and by the end they're all sound oh no east is east
i always get them mixed up
fucking music nothing happens
in these films
oh
got a car
nothing
unless you watched
the period drama
when you were young
oh fucking yeah
yeah I love
fucking
I love Emma
watched it when I was 10
I hate them
you need to open
your mind
and your heart
to new stories
apart from the police
fuck them
but for musicals and also period drama what about the from the police fuck them but for musicals and
also period drama the police can listen to them same word he takes a lot of shots and sometimes
i want it to be in the youtube comments
okay absolute clunger that meat lady like that kid
i just hate when things don't happen
in films
like I'd rather watch
like
I don't know
something else
genuinely
if you
if that's how you
feel about musicals
you will
you are gonna like
I'm gonna take you
to see it
because it's very
fast moving
maybe I will like it
but you've spoken
to that much
that I'd rather
fucking cut my
arms off
why
why would you not
rather just like
have your opinion
changed because I don't want to
concede now let's go and watch hamilton it will be it will be great like i love hip-hop it's hip-hop
it's more it's more fun you know just hating it because adam loves it so much to be fair
but everything i've seen on the west end has been fucking great and I don't like
I really
I find it cringy
but it's
it's always really well done
now
when it gets really painful
is when it's
this
when you're talking about
the West End Broadway
you're talking about
the absolute pinnacle
of musical theatre
there are so many leagues
below that
let's go and watch some
amateur musical theatre.
Let's.
And you will.
Write one.
Isle of Man, the musical.
No, let's.
That's got to be.
Don't say that.
Don't say that.
Where are you from?
Buckinghead.
Next year, we're doing a musical.
We're doing a live show and it's a musical.
Can you take the lead on this one, Adam?
Do we have to sing?
Can this be your project?
Can it be our project?
No, I think you're going to be in it, though.
Oh, listen, you get that script you write to me and I will.
Hang on, are we on a sing, innit?
Yeah.
Right.
And dance.
Interesting.
Adam's never writing this is he

Quick Fit, Istanbul.
Famous Istanbul Quick Fit.
Yeah, it's on Quick Fit.
It was five to five in Quick Fit, and a car came in,
and it's not long enough to do it, and he got it done in six minutes.
Oh, my friend, we cannot possibly do it.
It is five to five.
I don't know if you know Istanbul Quick Fit.
We go home at five.
The drama.
That's a five-minute time.
How are you filling that out for an hour and a half
It's a five minute musical
Because it goes back and shows you the story
Of how they all got there
I'm in traffic in Istanbul
It's so close to rush hour in Istanbul
I have a flat tyre in Istanbul
I need the quick fit in Istanbul
Cut to the quick fit
Like ha ha ha

Hello, everyone.
Let's talk about one of our sponsors today.
It's NordVPN.
Now, I don't know loads about VPNs,
but the man to my left here is addicted to the internet,
and he's an expert.
See, the fact that you don't use VPN
for your private little Danny time is insane to me. It's the most secure way to save the internet and he's an expert see the fact that you don't use vpn for your private little danny time is insane to me it's the most secure way to save the internet you can set your location to
anywhere on the planet and that means you get access to like you can change it to america you
get american netflix you can change it to like saudi arabia and you get to watch the premier
league football with the six saudi arabian commentators on you get to watch premier league
football that's at three o'clock that you can't get over here.
It's just a sick way
of tricking your computer
or any device
into thinking you're anywhere in the world.
I can't recommend it enough.
And the fact that they're now a sponsor
and I get a membership of NordVPN for free
is,
it's my favorite sponsor I've had so far
apart from Manscaped
because they help me shave my balls.
The deal is
a two-year deal
plus one month for just 65 quid. $89 which is about 65 quid. It's an amazing deal. It is at
nordvpn.com slash have a word. Code word. Have a word. Go and get it. Watch the footy. Watch
whatever you want. Tell your computer where you are. He doesn't get to tell you where you are.
My computer sometimes looks at me without my VPN. I'm'm like hey we're in liverpool here and i'm like no you're not you're in belarus nailed it for a limited time switch to shopify point of sale

Got to do it is
What's love got to do
Put that in the musical
Put that in the musical
Whitney Houston in the musical
Someone find us a bath.
Oh, no.
She died in a bath, you know.
Do you know what?
I didn't laugh at the Whitney Houston joke,
and I don't think a lot of people did either.
Makes me not want to listen to the pod.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Bye, Jiva.
Don't let your cunt hit you on the door on the way out.
Or something.
I'm very excited about playing the arena.
It's just a major inconvenience, really, isn't it?
The 9th of December, I'm meant to be in Morecambe.
Are you opening Morecambe?
Yeah.
Opening gets closed up until then.
I'm going to the circus in a day.
Oh, yeah? The old winter circus. I'm going to the circus in a day. Are you?
Ah, the old winter circus.
I hope the circus doesn't overrun.
I hope England aren't in a World Cup semi-final
on December the 9th.
Why?
Could they be?
It will not matter in Liverpool anyway.
Correct.
Fucking yeah.
Because you're Scouse.
Not English.
Although you are English.
You know.
Officially. It's amazing. Because you're Scouse, not English. Although you are English. You know, officially.
It's amazing.
Fucking amazing.
It's ridiculous is what it is.
I'm so excited.
I can't quite take it in.
My family have obviously been very supportive of the podcast and the success we've had.
Not all of them know exactly what it is
or what's happening.
I think that's all of our families.
But it's very real going, we've booked the arena
and they're like, oh, that auditorium theatre
that you did Blind Date.
And you're like, no, the actual arena.
An arena.
We're playing that.
We're the second podcast ever to play an arena
after Chris Ramsey and Rosie.
That true, yeah?
Yeah.
Huh.
I also, I love the level up in terms of like,
what's it going to be?
It's going to be an absolute spectacular.
We've got rehearsals.
Oh my God.
I'm looking forward to the rehearsals as much.
And this is when it gets weird when they're like,
obviously you want all these big set pieces
and obviously can we do loads and like,
but you're going to have to pay extra if you want like Dan flying in on a zip wire. You're like, obviously you want all these big set pieces and obviously you can redo loads and like, but you're going to have to pay extra
if you want like Dan flying in on a zip wire.
You're like, what?
There's going to be a fucking show.
The promotion company were like,
well, that's something that you might want to do.
And you're like, no, fat men don't want to die that night.
You're not going to get on the zip wire.
To do what?
I'm James Bond, the name me.
That's my entrance.
On a zip wire.
I want to come in a zip wire
To open up my
Stand up bit
Just come in and
Dun dun dun dun
Fucking hell
Dance spotlights
Smoke
And then just
Literally get landed
And just go
Who's drinking
I want to open
The retractable roof
And parachute in
Is it a retractable roof
Yeah
Is it the
Millennium Stadium Cardiff
That you're thinking of
Wimbledon
oh
Wimbledon

you thought we were playing
Centre Court Wimbledon
I mean that's
next innit
the middle
with the net on
no
not December the 9th
the grass will be wet

the week after Wimbledon
the roof will be closed
oh cool cool
sell a lot of tickets in
SW
just believe us by the way it's going to be an absolute the word extravaganza After Wimbledon, the roof will be closed. Oh, cool, cool. Sell a lot of tickets in SW.
Just believe us, by the way, that it's going to be an absolute...
The word extravaganza.
That's what we should have called it,
the Havowood extravaganza.
Or bonanza.
Or bonanza.
Anything with a Z in?
Zebra.
The Havowood zebra show.
The Havowood zoo.
It's going to be tremendous.
We're going to slowly release what's happening as it
gets put together um let us know who you'd like to see in the comments below don't forget to like
subscribe ring the bell ring the bell ah this guy he knows how to sell nothing's off either
that's how you sell arenas isn't it it? Like and subscribe, buy an arena ticket.
Nothing's off limits.
Whatever you want to happen could happen.
No, it is off limits.
I'm not getting in a zip wire.
Yes, you are.
I don't want to.
I don't care.
Why is it always me?
We'd all get on the zip wire.
I've got a tattoo on my bum bum.
I put one of my balls in a cursed lake.
When are you on the zip wire wire i'll get on the zip wire
you do the zip wire i'll do trapeze why are you making it more dangerous i'll ask the circus
people to come i'm gonna drag it from the circus you just want to double double up it's gonna be
hard to double up as a circus act yeah so we've got a double for them just bounce from one gig
to another um shall we do
some questions on stand-up we're going to do stand-up in the first half and then it's the full
a full podcast live show there will be no other pod lives this is it and it it all builds this is
the only live podcast show this year we've got a lot of messages recently asking when we're going
to do a live show outside of live pill which is very very valid and fair I think next year sort of towards the summer of next year I think we'll probably do
a few live dates we know we want to we need to hit Glasgow, Newcastle, Dublin, Birmingham, Cardiff
and maybe London again um we will try and put some live shows on outside of Liverpool next year
but the one have a Weird live show this year,
the only one.
By the way, that's not a definite as well.
That is theoretical.
That might not happen.
No.
That's really hard to make that work.
What we do know is,
if you want to see this podcast live,
you need to come to the arena on December the 9th.
One ticket.
That's all there is this year.
Nothing else.
And you're going to have to be quick
because there are
I think it's
8,000 tickets
at the Liverpool Arena
up to 10 and a half
if we open the very top tiers
and
there's over 12,000 patrons now
and it's allocated
so if you want to be at the front
you need to be at the front
of the fucking queue mate
so this replaces
the Christmas live show
that we did at
Hot Water
for the last two years
there will be no live stream.
It is in the room.
It's going to be magical.
Yeah, you've got,
when's December?
Nine months away?
Eight and a half months,
you've got.
Book your hotel now.
It'll be about four quid.
Travel, whatever you need to do.
We're going to do stand-up
to our fans in an arena.
That's the other bit
that I'm forgetting.
Like, I'm going,
ah, cool,
as a podcast,
we get to do the arena. In that first half, that's the other bit that i'm forgetting like i'm going oh cool we as a podcast we get
to do the arena in that first half that's the biggest moment of my career by fucking miles

I've spoke to him
and I'm not even messing
saw Adam
at the stand in Edinburgh
it was my first time
in an honest to goodness
comedy club
and I was quite surprised
at how cosy it was
some of the audience
right in front of the stage, basically
at Adam's feet.
Do you guys like this? The audience
within touching distance or do you prefer a little
buffer zone between the performance area
and the crowd like Paul had
at the Tivoli? Or
is it one of those things where it depends on the gig, the crowd,
the buzz on the night, ETC? Dan,
can't wait to travel down to Glasgow in October
to come and see you on tour.
Keep up all the good work.
That's from Maffers.
Oh, it's Maffers, a.k.a. Matt Smith.
Matt Smith.
The closer, the better.
I would like to brush people with my cock
as I turn on the stage.
Wow.
And that's why you gig with your dick out.
And that's not, you know, like,
Bert Kreischer gets his top off.
I don't know if you've
you already know this spoiler alert if you've been to adam's tour he he's naked from the waist down

Translator.
When they say translator,

There is peace,

Feels like they might
kick off.
Right.
In North Korea.
Do you know something
about a war that's
happening?
Did you not see
North Korea reveal their nuclear weapon the other day?
It was like a Thunderbirds thing.
I think that's more of just a,
that's like when you show your blade,
you've not actually stabbed anyone yet.
Yeah, he hasn't fired a nuke.
I'll give you that.
Thank you.
I will take it.
Was that not making you nervous though?
If I had a knife now and I was like,

Translated for North Korea
Feels
Like I might not
Be good at that
Just because I can't speak Korean.
Yep.
So I think when I first tried...
You'd pick it up.
I don't know if...
Hang on, they wouldn't know though because they don't speak it.
You could just make it up.
Yeah, so you're at the UN or somewhere
and they've just flashed a big nuclear weapon.
It's an important translator, that.
You're in your little booth and they're all in the headphones.
So he starts speaking Korean.
And I have to blag it and be like,
oh, yeah, he's mad, man.
He's just fucking been pulled over by the fucking pigs.
He says, go on, mate.
Stab me, lad.
Lad, stab me.
Stab me, lad.
That's what he said. they're going oh wow okay no
oh so the translator for north korea is like you're at the un and kim jong whatever his name
is is fucking talking all fucking ham and that and you've got to let everyone know what he's
saying yeah but you don't have to translate back to him right okay oh now it's easier now it's
easier isn't it yeah yeah you don't need to speak Korean You just make it up
Yeah
All you need to learn
All you need to learn in Korean
Is hello

Kim Jong-un is like

And you're like
Hello I love you

That's how you de-escalate
You're not understanding what I'm saying
So when I get to the UN
And they go
Kim lad
This is your translator
Right
He's going to be like
Kim lad
Is this guy even?
It's the guy who seats everyone at the UN.
He's from Toxteth.

Get the fucking headphones on.
Sit down.
So like, this is your translator.
Kim's going to be like,

I need some evidence.
And I'll just go,
and he'll be like, oh, nice one. And then he'll start speaking Korean And I'll just go And he'll be like Oh Nice one

Yeah everything sounds
Just chill out
Not gonna shoot no one
I'll smash everyone's head in
I'll smash everyone's head in

because I don't think
Google Translate

for threatening people
in it
come on Google
working out

I want to smash
everyone's head in the west
and he's like
Adam's like

Kim Jong Un's just said

have a word live
at the Liverpool Arena
wow
apparently they've just hit
12,000 patrons
wow
do you know what's really funny
he's a lid
do you know when we teased
the arena announcement
and like oh
the announcement's coming
so many people were guessing what it is and two people messaged me just two saying is it
that you're performing at the echo arena and i said no to both of them because it's not called
that anymore the m&s m&s bank arena so up your bollocks good chat to everyone who tweeted at it
going is it probably a december live show at the arena and I nearly liked it
and then thought
nah cool
keeping it
the amount of people
who were wildly
inaccurate with it
were like oh my god
it's going to be a lock in
that would be the biggest
announcement in the
history of it
in December
doing a lock in
is Dan finally
transitioning
maybe
Ian Lewis says
assuming the modern
Olympics
were done
nude
like the ancient Olympics,
which would be the worst discipline to watch?
And that can include the Winter Olympics.
That's ridiculous.
You can't do the Winter Olympics naked.
Pommel horse.
The pommel horse?
Yep.
The javelin.
If you've got big dangly bollocks,
the pommel horse is a real problem, isn't it?
Popping them.
Pole vault.
You're seeing up the bum hole there, aren't you?
Alderting.
What's he saying?
Javelin?
Yeah, because then you've got such a direct comparison
between the size of your javelin and the size of your car.
Yeah.
That's what everyone's thinking,
is you're throwing a massive spear 80 metres in the air,
like, fucking hell, that javelin was bigger than his dick.
He's just broken the world record.
Couldn't give a shit.
Little non-javelin dick fucking weirdo.
The pommel horse would honestly be an empty stadium for it
because you are just going, Gooch, bumble, bumble, Gooch.
Gooch, bumble, bumble.
It's like, how many times can you flash your own solo Gooch?
Gooch, bumble. That's the coach and gooch? Gooch, bumhole.
That's the coach.
Gooch, bumhole, bumhole, gooch, gooch, gooch.
Cock, cock, cock, cock, balls.
Cock, cock, balls, bumhole, gooch.
Adam's mad Christmas.
Did you just try and make the Olympics into a fucking musical?
Gooch, gooch, bumhole, gooch, gooch, bumhole.
Tell me you wouldn't watch that.
The Olympics, the musical.
Shoot me in both of my eyes.
What else is there?
Pummel horse.
Or the Winter Olympics if you had to be naked.
Deluge.
Oh, my God.
Deluge.
100 mile an hour cock.
Toboggan run.
My dick would be so far up inside me, it would be fine.
It would be already in as soon as I was getting on the luge. My dick would be like far up inside me It would be fine It would be already in As soon as I
As I was getting on the luge
My dick would be like
No thank you
Bye bye
I'll see you in April
Motherfucker
Speed skating would be good as well
Speed skating?
Yeah
With his dick
And you cut someone's cock off
At the end of your fucking blaze
He's fucking
Flapping on the
Oh and the
That would be the best
The curling
You could just do it
with Adam's dick
do the cleaners
have to have it out though
cleaners
they are cleaners aren't they
just competitive mopping
that's all they're doing
yeah
like when the Olympics
are not on
those people
mop floors for the living
what
little hoover
you still love working
on a bar and mopping
at the end of the night
could have been a great hurling
I enjoy a mop
at the end of the night when you have been a great hurling. I enjoy a mop.
At the end of the night,
when you'd had some like,
soft,
I was like,
eh,
it'd be shit.
I was like,
get,
loved it.
A ladies mop.
Went fast.
I could have made a great,
Kaelin's the best.
Naked Kaelin.
We used to all hate mopping in the bar.
It used to be whoever made the least amount of tips
had to mop.
Because it's the last job,
isn't it?
There's only one person
doing it
everyone else finishes
that's why
everyone else finishes
and sat down with a pint
yeah
I was never doing it
never working on my own
can't remember working on my own
just like
I like to be done properly
but it's transferable skills
what's the best sport
naked
that would help
like what's
what would being naked help most?
I mean, wrestling.
Because if you were homophobic, you're out, aren't you?
So basically, it's just bisexual people fucking nailing it.
Like, go on, grip me.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
And also, you can get a hard-on and use it to fucking knock them out.
You've got a big enough dick.
In wrestling?
Yeah.
The old dick knockout.
Like the spinning elbow?
It's the spinning cock
it's a disqualification
says who
the cock's not
the rules of wrestling
you're not allowed to strike
oh
I didn't know that
right then
well it's because it's
wrestling innit
you choke them out with your dick
you wrap your dick around their neck
and just
re-enake a choke with your cock
is there
is there chokes in wrestling
is there
brings a whole new meaning
to re-enake a choke
because you're behind
them naked choking
them
would you cough
thanks for the
VAR on that joke
tennis would be
funny as well
all sports would be
better naked
just saying
it'll be worse
do you reckon
yeah
I'm glad people
wear clothes
darts I think would be pretty stressful oh Phil Taylor with his ar yeah I'm glad people wear clothes darts I think
would be pretty stressful
oh Phil Taylor
with his arse
I'm a snooker
everyone in the
alley polly
like
I don't think
I ever want to
picture Raymond
from Barclays
as an arsehole
who
who
that's a real
on that one.
Take two.
Hey.
I don't think I ever want to pitch it.
Raymond Van Barnabels.
Oh, there you go.
Asshole.
I don't think you have to.
Fucking hell.
But I am now.
Imagine the snooker.
Imagine the leg target.
What about Raymond Van De Hernderhernder?
And your legs on the table.
What?
Oh my God, yeah.
Have a gooch out. Oh, that'd be a gonder? And your legs on the table. What? Oh my God, yeah. I'll put Gooch out.
Oh, that'd be a Gooch out.
The fella with the gloves.
How much do you lean over in snooker?
That's a real arch of the back, isn't it?
There's no rest.
The rest's broke.
You've got to lean over a long red.
You've got to put your cock in the pocket.
It's in my way, that.
The cock, I didn't call it.
And the man with the gloves comes over and polishes your bollocks
what are you doing
what about UFC naked
basically I'm naked
I would tune in to see
Francis Ngannou fight
or if they change the rules
of snooker
do you know like when
when you've snookered
someone in snooker
and they fail to hit the red
and they have to put the ball
back right where it was
imagine if they change it
so you have to put your cock
exactly where it was as well
you've got a little fellow
with a glove on
just moving
millimetre by millimetre
your cock
hang on
they do that don't they
they do that to get the camera
sorry there's a pube
out of place
I'd imagine if like
to win
like do you have your luge
like bare arse
put your bollocks over the cushion
and someone smacks
the white head in
why would you say that
genuinely just gave me a pain
in me left hand
that's not snooker.
That's just BDSM, isn't it?
Yeah, we'll mix them.
Yeah.
I bet you're into some fucking dirty stuff, you.
I want to go with the snooker doll, mate.
Take Seneca down the fucking pool hall.
Booked it out.
Happy birthday.
American pool as well.
Table's a bigger.
Bigger balls as well, you dirtbag.
Oh, yes.
Pop it like it's hot.
What would the UFC be like naked?
Anyone?
Same as a wrestler, I think.
I'd like to go and see Francis Ngannou.
What about you?
Put you on some penis.
He's probably got a big willy on him.
Would you be allowed to wear the gloves?
Oh, I suppose not.
You're naked, aren't you?
Yeah.
Some of the bare knuckle...
I see a lot of bare knuckle boxing videos come up
and I'm like,
aye, how popular is that getting?
Is that really just,
I'm just seeing it on the internet.
Yeah, you're just seeing it.
But it's more,
it is, like, it looks really well produced.
It's just a scrap, innit?
No, but it's,
now their production values are way up.
Yeah, but not in countries,
it's like, that's in like Russia and stuff.
That's not in like,

La, la, la.
Best cock ever.
Like, is there any, like, women with the tits out
and you fuck, in your imagination,
is there just a plane flying over
with the thing behind going, Adam is amazing.
My imagination ones are very intimate and subtle,
to be honest with you.
They don't sound like they would be.
But they are, though. It's just me and one woman in a closed bedroom like there's no one else in the world
i i never fuck with an open door but the house is empty just close the door my imagination
fantasies curtains closed every it's just really low light night night time and she's like just
her head's in here and we're just really slow fucking. You're choking her out.
Her head's in here?
She's on top of me.
Like they were winding a baby.
It looks like you were choking her out.
She's young.
It's a baby goat.
That's disgusting.
No, it's just a woman.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Oi, audio listeners, where are you at?
You need to come and see this.
Yeah, I've just got a woman.
I've got a tiny little woman.
I'm a little midget woman and the door is closed
so I can't fucking step on you as you run out onto the landing.
You're my little magic lady woman.
You're only eight inches smaller than me dick.
You know what I mean?
No, I don't.
I don't want to take your bitching head.
Terrible.
It's a rear naked choke.
So she's on top of me.
Yeah.
And her body's here.
And her head.
Big shoulders, this girl.
She's here.
And she's been doing upper body.
Lovely V.
She's Arnold Schwarzenegger.
And I'm like,
come here, love.
I'm going to make you miniature
with my magic wank fantasy mind.
And now you're little Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Oh, I've killed you
because you were smaller than my dick.
La, la, la, la, la.
Adam's wank.
You're making it sound silly.
You're right.
She nestles her head on me neck
and we just slow fuck.
Slow fuck.
Erotic fiction.
Is the door closed?
Close the door.
We slow fuck.
And then at one point,
we look out the window
and the sun's coming up.
And we're like,
wow, we've been going all night.
Slow fucking.
Yeah.
Oh, fucking.
What a stupid bit.
Of a fucking wank fantasy.
You actually caught me there.
And they keep having the fantasy.
No one in the history of wank fantasies has ever jizzed.
They go, need to tie this one off.
Let's close this one down.
No, that's not true.
I need closure on all my wank fantasies.
You've jizzed.
You've not even, there's still jizz on your belly.
And you're like, look, look out the window.
We've been going all night.
No, no, no.
And scene.
No, no, no.
That is still jawing the fantasy. The sun comes up. I haven't come yet. And, no, no. And scene. No, no, no. That is still Jordan the fantasy.
The sun comes up.
I haven't come yet.
And we're still going.
And then she looks out and there's a moment where we both appreciate life.
Oh, God.
I've got to get the train to work.
Fuck so long.
Within your wank fantasy, she's got to ring the boss and be like,
I'm going to be late for work.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You'll have to take a half day.
But luckily, you're on flexi time.
Very specific.
She's like, actually, I'm out of holiday for this calendar year.
You'll have to take a sick day.
That will count as a strike against my record.
Oh, yeah. to take a sick day. That will count as a strike against my record.
Oh, we kept fucking until there was kids going to school.
Oh, no.
That'd go weird.
But sometimes when I finish...
Oh, my God, she's getting smaller.
Oh, my God.
She's so small.
Just blows it away.
Oh, yeah.
Cheers.
Do you never tie off your fantasies, though?
Benjamin buttoned her.
After you've finished?
No.
You don't?
I just...
So you finish and you just stop playing the movie?
No, I ask her to leave in a really polite way.

She does sports massage on the side.
In Hull, in Chester.
She's weird.
I'd love if that was true.
She goes, if it's too... No, she asks, she's like,
if I'm pressing too hard
just tell me
she does
she's like
eight is the point where
if you get to eight
I'll go back to seven
right
no I don't mean that
when you're like nine
nine
no like when you're talking to someone
and you nod and you go yeah
or like when you go good food
and you go oh that's nice
you're lying there in silence
feeling like oh no it was good
I'm not lying there in silence
I make sort of like
moany noises
oh are you moaning
oh
that's illegal
that's illegal
no it isn't
that's proper
Deshaun Watson
that's not allowed
hang on
as she's rubbing you
you're going
making moaning
no
you get thrown out
go ahead
oh you can say go ahead
oh yeah go on
do that bit again
go on
up a bit further
up a bit further what Up a bit further?
What, from here?
Oh, go on, do the neck, you dirty girl.
She did do me neck last night.
And me scalp.
How good's that?
All right.
Scalp massage.
Are you lying then, Sans, really?
Or are you moaning?
What?
I feel like going every now and again.
By the way, this is good.
Do you not talk to them?
No.
All right, me and Teresa are a team.
I'm just giving encouragement encouragement i'm just like go
ahead yeah that's a good bit do that again oh all right oh are you doing all right yeah yeah all
right all right do you ever shut the fuck up or um you're doing an arm i fell asleep yesterday
and i only know that because i heard myself snore and woke myself up nice yeah and i don't know how
long i've been asleep for the whole place was closed down and no one was touching it
what here is it how long I'd been asleep for. The whole place was closed down and no one was touching you.
What's here, is it?
Amazing.
I learned so much about you.
Yeah, I give a bit of like,
ooh, a bit less there, love,
because me shoulders a bit.
I don't mean that,
I mean positive encouragement,
like, oh yeah, it's good, that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it very,
making it sound like it's creeping towards like,
go on.
Oh yeah.
No, but I feel like,
because you always give positive reinforcement
to something you like
in every facet of life,
except for the massage.
I'm just saying it feels a bit awkward.
No, I do.
I'm like, oh.
Yeah, do that again.
Right, do it again.
Faster.
Harder.
Fuck me.
Too far.
Fuck me. Till far. Fuck me.
Till you're late for work.
Till the sun comes up.
I don't mind paying extra.
Oh dear.
That's been fun, hasn't it?
I wonder if we'll do that at the arena.
Live massage.
Can't wait.
Just lost us about a thousand ticket sales.
Let's have a break.
Wag wag lids.
Hope you're enjoying today's patron exclusive.
We've got some new merch that you can see over my boobie.
Is this real?
This is an add this.
Oh, for the merch.
For the merch that you're wearing.
Get one of these ones.
But when you buy it, get one that fits you.
They come in different sizes, but I would definitely maybe order one size up,
unless you want to feel like it's a Tammy Girl starter bra.
Haveawaredpod.com is where you get the merch from,
and it'll save you wearing that pile of shite that you're wearing at the minute.
We just said don't be doing the mean thing.
You look like a fucking pedo.
Get some merch.
But he can't help himself.
But look at them.
Look through the camera at the fucking scruffy twat on the other side of it.
I like you.
I think you look good.
Fucking pathetic.
But you'll look better in Have A Word Pod merch.
That's what I was saying, just in a more polite way.
And that's here.
Because Carlo put the graphic in.
HaveAWawaypod.com
if you can't read.
Get on me.
Part three.
Welcome back
to the Hathaway...
What?
I love it.
I love it when you do the...
Jason Manfredier!
Thank you very much
for coming down.
Gave him a chance.
Gave him a chance.
You know, said Said come on lad
We'll break you
We'll break you
We've done a lot for Jamie Hutchinson
This is your chance kid
Oh pleasure
Pleasure to do it
How are you?
I'm well actually yeah
Just getting back onto this
Touring
Trying to do the gigs
And yeah I'm still suffering
Post lockdown I think
You know just the mental
forced time off that we all had
getting back into it and getting out there
and I think, I don't know if you noticed it, when you first got back
people have not been to
any gigs, so they're laughing
on another level. But they're all so
feral. Oh yeah, they are feral.
There's a lot more heckling I've
seen and it's like, look I know you haven't been out
for two years but But it's like, look, I know you haven't been out for two years, but...
Yeah.
But it's weird because at home, they were doing their own measures.
So you'd think they could handle the drinks.
When they got back to proper measures, they'd be like,
there's nothing in that.
But, like, I did Manchester Apollo.
You know the thing where you...
I don't know about you, but when I'm on stage,
sometimes I have a little nosy, like, things are going on.
Especially in the bigger venues. Like arenas, people don a fuck no one's yeah no one's sat for two hours
like giving it that they get up they go for a drink you know and you can't be giving it where
are you going like you can in a 400 so um at the at the apollo this guy i can see a kerfuffle at
the back i'm trying to do my show but i'm also i'm one of those people i love i can't fight so
i fucking love a fight when people are
fucking fighting
in the street
you want to be on the stage
with a mic
commentating on the fight
you know when you're
watching football
and the players start fighting
and the commentator says
we don't want to see this
in the game
I fucking do
I love it
absolutely
I love it
because I can't fight
so I just
I enjoy watching it
so anyway
I'm doing the show
and you've got those
like two parts of your brain
aren't you
you stand up
you've got the show
and then you've got
this sort of thing just on it you know waiting for someone to the show and then you've got this sort of thing
just on it
you know
waiting for someone
to say something
and then I can just see
windmill arms
and I can see like
at your gig
my gig
if you're kicking off
at a Jason Manford show
comedy is not for you
and
absolute bear pit
in Shrewsbury
exactly
exactly
people you know people have just obviously someone's seen me on Lorraine someone's seen me on a Royal Variety show absolute bear pit in Shrewsbury exactly people
you know
people have just
obviously
someone's seen me on
Lorraine
someone's seen me on
the Royal Variety Show
and they don't get on
those people
and
turf war
but ain't a twat
you fucking said
when I'm on the day
so I can see
it's going off at the back
and the security
at the Apollo
they don't fuck about
you know
they're used to
like mosh pits
and all that
so this guy
apparently
I just see the doors open
and afterwards
I go to head of security
I say what
because I'm so nosy
I'm like
what happened
he said oh this bloke
was on his phone
actually on his phone
making a phone call
not just like
a cheeky text
actually giving a
yeah yeah I'm on
Jason Wanficky
and he goes
can you turn your phone off
and he goes
fuck off
to the security
and they don't give you a second chance at the Apollo.
It's just like four of them moving, pins of movement.
He's out the door, gone, shoes left.
Like he's actually out of his shoes and he's out the door.
And then he said, but he was scared because then there was a moment
where the wife got up, she picked his shoes up
and she'd come sort of, little sulfur dead on her.
You know, she's sort of like wandering around.
And she goes, and he thought, she's sort of like wondering all that and she goes and he thought
she's going to thump me
you know
head of security
like 8 foot
and she's like
I'm going to get
thumped by this woman
and as she comes over
she goes
we never got to see
the end of Michael
McIntyre
Eva
yeah your partner
is not made
for live comedy
in it
that's a problem
with the Apollo as well.
She's like, twice we've been here
and twice we've been kicked out
and it's nothing to do with our behaviour.
Tell you what I've noticed.
I had this at all three shows in London at the weekend.
I think people who haven't been out for a while
have lost the concept of rhetorical performance performance so the way i present a lot of my
stand-up is i'm posing a question but just in case you're coming to one of the tour shows
i've written the answers yeah don't worry about it like i've trust me i know what they are i know
where i'm going with it i know what both answers the question the awkward silence if you don't join in. But people are like, I know, I know.
Hands up!
Hands up!
Pick me!
Adam!
Some woman put her hand up in the middle of the show and said, can I get a photo with you after the show?
And I was like, I mean, yeah.
That's bad dum-dum that.
But not, like, it's a weird time to bring it up.
I have the, what I have in my shows is,
I think because I'm quite friendly and nice bloke, I guess,
you know, and I've that sort of, I mean, real life but you know on stage um is that people forget that we're not
actually friends in real life and so i have the same thing where i'll say things and i'll just
hear someone go he does that he does that all the time yeah i know it's an observation
but it's lovely in a way,
you know.
Yeah.
Just agree in your head.
Yeah,
that's good.
This woman three times
answered a question
that she assumed
I was asking.
Oh God.
Not to an audience
of 400 people.
She's like,
he's talking to me.
I'm here.
I know the answer.
So I should help him out.
This is a massive
minority of people,
especially with our pod as well,
because we're talking about stand up and people are constantly emailing going,
are you getting me into comedy more and more?
And especially club comedy.
And like,
not only do most of our lot know what's going on,
like we've also let them know what we prefer and anything.
I think they're like getting it even more.
It's just that minority.
We're like,
I don't care about any of that.
I like Adam.
Adam! No. I love that moment. I did last night at the Apollo actually, even more it's just that minority were like yeah i don't care about any of that i like adam adam
no i love that moment i did last night at the apollo actually where i don't know about you but
i nine times out of ten if somebody heckles like aggressive loud most of the time i think maybe
because i'm a dad now i'm able just to carry on talking irrespective what noise is going on around
me but every so often if the timing's right you know there's nothing you can do you've got to
react but i do that thing where you you know you go sorry
what was that and then they have to do it a second time that's my favorite because they've built up
that first one like last night somebody shouted out i was talking about underfloor heating
it just came out fuming i mean the lorraine kelly fans will boot right off about that
it's not even part of me say it just popped into me i thought this is this i've got something funny
about this basically we've got cats
during lockdown
and they're indoor cats
so we've got this problem
with underfloor heating
which is because we've got
a box of cat shit
in the corner of the kitchen
sorry can I
can we just
reverse the truck
just for a second
whatever you want
you've got indoor cats
oh mate
they're not allowed outdoors
are cats pretty much indoors
he goes in the garden
and then comes back
he doesn't wander the street
these aren't rescue cats are they these are like nice cats yeah yeah yeah my wife
cats i wanted a dog wife what a cat so you know compromised
she was like oh they're always inside they never go out but obviously now we've got a box of cat
shit in the corner of the kitchen all of the time and we've got this wonderful heating that you
can't turn on because obviously got slowly simmering cat poop just in
the corner so it's a real first world problem i think with the the working class fan base you've
amassed yeah it might be quite hard to get sympathy from your audience to be like surprised
me underfloor heating's making me i smell like shite middle of winter get your fucking show
cats in the garden the first time they're like oh my god
what's this it's freezing and windy get them out do them good well i might start doing that yeah
i'll say you told me i love that just catch me run over it's down that girl's fault
are they that pricey they're like what's this coming towards me
ow do you ever take them for a walk?
I've seen people walking their cats.
No, that's weird.
Serica wants to walk Toulouse.
What?
Serica wants to walk our cat.
No, I think it looks weird.
I don't think cats look like they like it either.
No, they don't want to be walked.
They want to go and lie down where you're not.
Yeah.
At all times.
Yeah, totally.
Cats hate us, don't they?
Cats are like inconvenienced by humans.
It's a cat's world and we're in the way.
These cats love him.
They're like,
Jason, the heating's too high.
Turn it down.
Another cushion, Jason.
That's exactly what I'm like.
Well, it's just people who feed them.
That's it.
What?
We just feed them
and then they go and do their own thing.
Isn't there like an old,
I don't know if it's a myth or whatever,
but isn't there a thing where they say
if you died in your house,
a dog would lie down next to you and die alongside you.
Just that solidarity.
Whereas a cat would eat your face.
Socrates, you said that.
Is it? I thought so, yeah.
Socrates.
Cat will sell you belongings.
Yeah, exactly.
And then go and put the eating on itself.
Yeah, yeah.
And turn up.
The coroner turns up,
the cat's like,
fucking hell, terrible.
turn up the coroner turns up
the cat's like
fucking hell
terrible
it was like that
when I found him
mate
nothing to do with me
I live here
he was eating his face
it's my house now mate
I ate his face
after he died
it was after the event
it wasn't a face
it was a death
we've
been discussing
in the first half of today's show uh we've booked an arena show
yeah it's nice to have you in on the day we've done that because you are and have been for a
while an arena comic what is your advice on that because it's a big old space to fill with and
you've got to fill it somehow it is a big space um there's a certain like demographic of people
who arenas are a slight switch off they're
like not but they're they're older they're basically older than me sort of 40 plus you
know they're a bit like it's not part it was what how they grew up nobody went to an arena when we
were kids but now they're just part of that's just what you go and what you're going to see
stuff in yeah so they are part of it i think my my tip is to the way it's different to a theater show i personally i think
is that your theater show starts at 7 30 or whatever eight o'clock and then you come on you
do your bit then there's a break then you come and do your second half whereas an arena show starts
when they turn up so at six o'clock or six thirty whatever it is they're starting to turn up like i
have when i do the arena i have like a d like a wedding dj or whatever just doing requests and stuff like in the room and and then we go into a sort of um oh yeah you
can have this bongo yeah you go into that go into um you know then the sort of start of the show
starts then there's and even in the interval dj stays on is that just because there's so many
people it's too much on to switch it on and off because when we're at the theater they're always
like can't we're just gonna have to hold it back because there's like 110 people
at the bar
I suppose in the
arena when they're
like there's
1400 people
at the bar
and they will
still be in the
bar even when
you start your
gig because some
people are coming
out it's like an
event that's on
you know just
sort of there
and they're also
there and that's
fine
it's like an
indoor festival
the size of it
it's got that
vibe hasn't it
it's massive
but it's not
it's kind of weird.
I mean, I don't know if you count on heckles
or people joining in and stuff like that,
but that's gone.
That won't be happening.
You know, so if you're like, anyone done this?
Yeah, I know.
Oh, my car's parked closer than where you're sat.
Well, we're going to get Steve to be our show manager for the night.
He's going to be running around the arena
with a microphone
like that woman
right up at the back
Steve
yeah
he's a scooter
top tier
65,000 steps
good lad
yeah when you get there
he's like
I forgot
do you have to
slow it down
do you have to
play it bigger
what do you do
yeah there's
an element of that
but you just work it
you know you've been
doing it so long
you can play any room so you work it out straight away once an element of that but you just work it, you know, you've been doing it so long you can play any room
so you work it out
straight away
once you're in there
but I think with anything,
certainly when it comes
to theatres,
anything longer
than your 20 minute club set,
it's long form comedy,
you know,
it's putting a pause in
and a break in
and for me,
I always say,
like when someone
comes on to support
when I'm on tour,
I say,
and it's the first time
they've done it,
I go,
don't
don't rush it
you're not doing a club set here
no one's going to
interrupt you
in a gap
or a silence
and call you
call you a twat
or whatever
it's not going to happen
so just take your time
you know
so but you know
you'll be fine
you're fucking
we got a question
in the first section
from a guy who's
getting in
like I said
getting into stand-up
because of us
and went to see
Adam at the stand in Edinburgh,
which is one of the more intimate comedy clubs,
isn't it?
And everyone was right under the nose of Adam
and that's how it is at the stand.
Right now,
if I ask you tonight,
let's just book a gig,
where is your absolute favourite gig?
Is there a type of gig
or is there a specific gig?
Do you love the big rooms
because you get to showboat or is there a particular type of small love the big rooms because you get to show showboat
or is there a particular type of small room that just does it for you just before you answer on
this i love this question i sort of the way i i ask that question to comics who can sort of sell
tickets to any sort of size is where do you think you are at your peak yeah for example dave chappelle
says his peak is 200. Right.
He's like, in front of 200 people, I'm at my best.
He's like, I can do the arenas.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 10, 20,000 people sometimes in the big states in America.
But he feels he's at his absolute best as a comic
in an improv full of 200 people.
Right, wow.
So what would you say is your optimum?
What's your happy place?
I mean, obviously, I was at Apollo last night,
and they said, you know, being in your hometown
and just the energy that sort of creates.
And what's that, about 2,000?
That's about 2,500, I think, which is...
So that's good.
And those venues are nice because they're intimate,
even though they're massive.
Yeah.
They've designed in such a way that they just feel like,
you know, you'll find it tonight.
You know, you just find that sort of moment
where they're just there, you know, with you,
and the sides come right here and stuff. quite like as much as i like playing the
big towns and the palladiums like that actually in london london palladium is very well designed
and that's on three floors four floors in fact but they just they're just here is it the old
victorian style of like yeah yeah i think it's like more like a wall rather than raking back
yes it's like that in one and the sound is just, you know, the sound's great.
You can feel them, they're so close to you, you know.
And also there's an event feel to those venues.
You know, if you're going to the Palladium or the Apollo,
it feels like a moment, you know.
The Manchester Apollo, I've only ever done it once before
with Bill Bear, and it was electric.
And I remember watching him that night going,
he'll be gutted he hasn't filmed this one
because it was that good
and Manchester
as much as
and I remember
in some of your
early stand up
you talked about
sort of the rivalry
between Manchester
and Liverpool
and obviously I have to
touch on it every now
and then in Manchester
for there to be a rivalry
between Manchester
and Liverpool
other than Liverpool
maybe Newcastle
and Glasgow
I think Manchester's
probably my favourite place to gig
Well I have a same feeling about Liverpool
as well and I actually think
and I used to say this as a line I'd say
the thing about rivalries between cities is
over a certain IQ level it's actually a bit of a laugh
under it someone's going to get hurt
and that's basically what it is
it's an intelligence
thing isn't it you know what i mean
so and i think people who are coming to comedy are great and i love playing liverpool for that
same reason because you can you can just right be on the right on the edge of sort of taking a piss
and having a bit of fun without anyone being an arsehole you know and yeah taking it seriously
i actually quite like in manchester when i get booed straight away for the accent.
Yeah, totally. Because it's like, well, we can have some fun with this now.
Yeah, exactly.
But as far as like favourite gigs, I don't think I have a certain number.
You know, actually that one we did in Shrewsbury is a lovely, you know, venue.
So I have nice ones like that.
I love playing.
Theatre 7.
That was the first time I've played the big room.
I've been comparing the 250 seater for years
and then you got me into support.
I think we talked about it at the time,
but Jason does the soundest thing you can do,
which is unlike most comics of basically you go on,
you did 15, which is like the perfect amount of time,
and then told a story about when you were doing support for someone
and then were like, and this guy's a mate of mine and you'll love him and you walk out to do your 20
minutes and they're like yeah like so you warm them up for me and then gone and this guy's a
really great comic and he's a mate and supporting you're like you almost give them the insight into
what it's like to be a support act i've never walked out to an easier support of a famous comic they were like yay so many like it's a warm-up for the warm-up i'm a fucking mug that's what i am
yeah i haven't been doing that on my tour i'll be like can you just go fucking warm all them up
please and get them ready so you must have been on the phone to john bishop because he was on
the tour at the same time as you and you were both trying i think it was basically job creation
you were both trying to get everyone who was coming out of the lockdowns a bit of work yeah and john had obviously spoken to you i know
your mates and he'd gone yeah nice one i'll compare and then bring someone on and i i i
supported for him in and around the same time i did it with you in shrewsbury and then about three
months later first time he went on warmed him up was dead sound got me on i fucking hoofed it and
the the next time he shoot he was like yeah
i'll just be off stage going all right everyone uh welcome to bradford uh here's this twat get
on with it when you're doing 200 and odd days i imagine there's a point where you think fuck this
you know yeah but i actually like it you know i actually like going out and doing that bit
beforehand as well because it feels like a bit less pressure i don't go on to any you know
pomp and ceremony i literally just wander on um it's got its drawbacks though hasn't it because
i seen a comment you got the other day that made me fucking piss myself laughing i don't know whether
you're seeing this no so a guy commented on his thing saying fucking shite you all you did was
10 minutes about the last two years and then you brought some other cunt on. We didn't watch them. We left.
Oh.
Oh.
They thought that was the show.
That was the show?
There is then a break,
and you do an hour and ten?
I thought,
I wonder if he goes to the cinema,
and goes,
it was just a load of clips of other films.
It wasn't even,
I didn't even see Batman.
Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
Don't do drugs, kids.
I mean, it was so great.
You can't, you know, there's nothing you can do about stupidity,
but it was, as soon as I did it, I just thought,
that's got to go online.
I know some comics will get an absolute buzz out of it.
So funny.
Did you get support when you were coming up?
Who were you?
Because you started, because this is weird,
because we sort of started at a similar time,
except it was after you'd been to uni.
So did you start when you were about 17 or 16?
I started at 17. And then did stand up and were like,
you were on at the Frog with Peter Kay and all that.
And then did you go to uni and then come back from that?
I sort of carried on while I was at uni. Right. But not obviously you've got stuff to do so uh in the day and that so i was
doing the odd gigs here and there so but yeah i started in 1998 when i first that's when i did my
first ever gig and that was which is like one of these stories now that has become sounds apocryphal
but it's true where i was just working at a comedy club in charlton buzz comedy club and um i used to watch loads of comics mick you know mick ferry and johnny vegas
and joe caulfield all these brilliant comics would go on and rip it and big comics now you
know joe brand and steve coogan and people like that would do it as well it was like the best
club in the northwest fantastic yes chinese restaurant now and apparently it's very good
so I used to watch this
and I was
has it even been
no
it's comedy journey
it's too sad
too sore
hurts too much
eating shumai
where you saw legends
oh yeah
so yeah
I was working there
and then
hang on
you got the job
no
so you got the job
because you wanted
to be a comedian
no
oh
no I got a job because my mum said,
go and get a fucking job.
And I did that thing around your house
where you go,
where's the nearest place to my house
that I could work?
So I rang them all.
I said, are you looking for anybody?
Wash pots or, you know,
sort of clean up and stuff like that.
Yeah, yeah, come in.
So I came in, did a few weddings,
couple of funerals,
and then they said,
oh, we've got a comedy club on a Thursday,
which I didn't even know about.
And it was one of those weird places,
you find this across the country
where
and all over the UK
I don't know how it happens
the roughest
bare ass of a pub downstairs
and yet upstairs
it's a beautiful
delicate comedy club
where people are nuanced
and listen to that
oh they're very clever
you know
it's weird
and downstairs
it's like people
with tattoos
on the side of his neck
with like four women's names
and three of them
crossed out
like you're like
what is this
is that
are they his exes
or is he a murderer
they all still eat there
the Chinese
the tattoos
have got more international
so we're there
and then
sort of again
it sounds so
like the water boy
or something
but essentially
one night
an act didn't turn up there's two acts coming up from london and uh agraman the the guy
human anagram around the club he's he's panicking and i and i said oh i need someone to do 20
minutes like you know no one's around to come and do it and the show's literally about to start
i said oh what a nightmare and then the the landlady came out she went jason will do
it i said no no i can't he's funny i went i'm funny in the kitchen we're all funny in the kitchen
not out there he said i'll give you 70 quid if you'll go and do 20 minutes i said absolutely
bearing in mind i'm on 12 pound for the whole night yeah in glasses and then someone off so
which way you just quit so um yeah went up and it went all right and then it offered me 70 quid so yeah I went up
and it went alright
and it was one of those
things that
sort of went quite quickly
at the roundabout
at the same time
they were doing
the City Life
North West Comedian
of the Year Awards
and I got off
and Aggraman said
you should enter that
and I said alright
I might do
and then
so my third gig
was the heat
my sixth gig
was the final
and I won
and
there's a picture of you
I think the night you won
in the frog still
and it's
unbelievable
oh is that with
Charlie Chuck and
Dave
is that the night you won it
I don't think
that was no
because it was
somewhere else
but it was around that time
I think BBC
you were like 40% eyebrow
it's phenomenal
it's phenomenal
you just look so young
yeah I know
it was mad
so I went to uni
so as far as support's
concerned um yeah i did get a lot i got a lot of support from comics at the time um peter k
funnily enough um was one of those acts who i obviously idolized but he's amazing and he um
he said to me what you're doing about university or or you know you're doing anything else i said
no no i'm just doing, just going to do this.
Stand up now, I'm a stand-up.
Northwest comedian of the year.
You won that two years ago and I'll just be you.
And he was like, no, I'm already me.
So, yeah, he was like, well, you know,
you should think about what else you want to do.
And we had a chat one night.
I remember we were in Fallowfield having a kebab after Excess Malarkeys
or whatever it was at the time.
Love it.
And we were chatting about it.
And I said,
I didn't get the grades at A-level
to be able to get into university.
I fucked up really.
So he said,
I'll give him a ring.
I went to Salford.
So he actually rang them.
And then a couple of days later,
I got a phone call from Salford
and they said,
oh, are you coming for an audition?
And Peter's vouched for you
even though you've not got
the right grades to get in
oh like media and performance
or something
what an absolute laugh
hey that's starting to knock out
some acts though
media and performance
yeah
Josh Jones and Kiri
and like there's
becoming a list of like alumni
so yeah so really
that was a decent
but I was doing stand up
at the same time
and trying to mix the two
first time I ever gigged with you
was XS Malarkey
and someone was like
oh Jason Manfred's on it
and I'd been around in Manchester
about a year
and hadn't really heard of you
and I was like
oh cool
and he was like
oh yeah he's good
about your age
pretty good
I was like
dead cocky
I was like
I think I'm pretty good
so
I was like
how long you been going dad
10 months
so
I think I know what I'm doing
I'm not sure
have a look at this kid
and you were
so when are we talking
2002
2003
you're 21
yeah
I watched your headline
I was like
how has he been doing comedy
for 20 years
you were my age
and I honestly
watched you going
well I haven't heard of him
he's probably done
a few gigs
you'd been you had 5 years of experience I was blown I was like And I honestly watched you going, well, I haven't heard of him. He's probably done a few gigs.
You'd been, you had five years of experience.
I was blown away.
I was like, how the fuck has this happened?
Well, it's weird because you get to a point where you're like, you know,
even 15 years in, 20 years in,
and there's men or, you know, women,
but men generally who were like older than me
by 10, 15 years,
who will like come into you for advice on.
Oh yeah.
Fairly, very strange dynamic.
It's weird, isn't it?
So it's quite a weird thing in comedy.
And I imagine in every industry,
but I can only talk from comedy
to any industry I've ever really been in.
I started when I was 18.
I'm 12 years in now.
And every other situation
that I would meet a 50 year old man in
or a 40 odd year old man in,
the power dynamic is he's my dad's mate.
Or he's someone who is slightly younger than me,
but works with him.
And it's like, you're all right, kid.
I'll buy you the pint.
Like, that's normally the thing.
When you've got someone who's that much older
than you coming to you going,
how do I do this?
It's such a weird thing to get used to.
And I'm used to it now,
because it's been going on a long time.
Well, I'll tell you a funny thing.
So one of the things that you do with stand-up is that a lot of time whether
it still happens now but generally if you've got a load of gigs and um a load of people on a gig
the open spot drives yeah the other the other acts you know it's just one of those it's one of the
you know you're doing it for petrol money and also you can do 10 yeah essentially you do a 10
minute make the coffee drive the car you can drive you can have 10 so spot. They're the in 10. Yeah, essentially. You do a 10 minute spot. Make the coffee, drive the car. You can drive it. You can have 10.
So I get this phone call.
Will you come and do this gig in Sheffield?
Toby Foster.
He said, the open spot's going to pick you up
and drive you over.
I said, oh great.
I was living with my gran at the time in Wivington.
So I come out.
I'm like 22 or something.
And I come out on the drive
and there's a fucking Audi on the driveway.
I was like, fucking open spot Audi.
And this fella gets out.
It's John Bishop.
He's the open spot.
And he's driving us over.
He was like a,
you know,
he was a salesman
that was still working.
At ICI.
Pharmaceutical rep,
which was based
in this block
of this building.
Oh, weird.
Small world.
So yeah,
so he was the open spot
and driving us over.
I was thinking,
this is weird.
And it's funny because John says,
we talked about it recently, actually,
on his show, and he said,
it was weird because we did, like,
three or four shows together.
And he said, you know,
the weird thing about it is I just,
I felt like I looked like I was grooming him.
Come with me.
We're going to Sheffield, Jason.
Come with me. Ah going to Sheffield Jason come with me ah these rabbits
hello little boy
bit of an anomaly though
the massive Audi
in it
because
Bish was like
it's
his story's almost
unheard of
I ended up
on that tour
I told you about
when he was like
yeah just get on
I was like
there's been so many rumours about how much you because I told you about when he was like yeah just get on i was like there's been
so many rumors about how much you were because i've heard people going he was earning 300 000
pounds a year yeah like he was earning a lot of money like absolutely top tax band and then doing
open spots so like i i've had lifts off guys and it's usually someone turning up in a fucked up course and be like
do you want to die today
or get to the gig
amazing that he had
the full Audi set up
and then had to
he gave up
80, 90, 100 grand a year
to go yeah
let's do comedy
that's a big give up innit
well it's worked out
it's done alright
he's got any regrets
he has done alright
well he never
he never worked to the heath
he sat in his helicopter going oh just want to sell drugs again He's got any regrets? He has done alright. Well, he never worked at the Heath.
And he sat in his helicopter going,
oh, I just want to sell drugs again.
Legal ones.
Helicopter?
What?
John Bishop's got a helicopter.
And he might have a helicopter.
He might have.
His house was so big that when I remember,
I don't know what his new one's like,
I've not been down,
but when he first made it and he moved from Didsbury out into the countryside
and he's...
When he really made it, like Didsbury's into the countryside and he's when he really made it
like Didsbury's a shit hole
I know
I know exactly
when he got off the
mean streets of Didsbury
and once he left
he went
he had this lovely house
which I thought
I think was like
former like
Iranian ambassador
or something like that
it was
one of these
big old things
and
anyway
I'd love to have been
in that negotiation
John Bishop
with an Iranian ambassador
I want your house lad
so I rang him up
and he said
oh yeah come over
so I went over
and I'm driving up
this long driveway
and I get to this
set of gates
and I press the buzzer
and there's no answer
so I end up
ringing him mobile
I said
hi mate I said, hi, mate.
I said, I'm at the gate.
He went, all right, mate.
I'm just out the back near the lake.
I fucking picked this out.
It took him 20 minutes to walk from the back to the front gate to open it up for us.
That was the difference he'd made.
Yeah, it was incredible.

You'd have to go like the lakes.

Gary Lineker's house used to be round there when he played for Everton.
I guarantee when you get that arena tour finished,
like, underfloor heating, indoor cats, I can see it.
I can see it all.
I can see it.
I can see it.
In a year's time, you'll be like,
Jason, have you got any tips
on indoor cats
my cat's
massive house
that smells of shit
near a lake
that's gone rotten
my cats won't do anything
but swim in a lake
and go on me
he's a flaw
that's all
they've got no interest
in anything else
don't like roofs
don't like grass
lakes
he's a flaw
swimming indoor cats
I want the lake
to come into my house
into a swimming pool
what's the thing
you've spent money on
and you've
you know you've
gone for it
and then gone
oh what have I done here
or the thing
you've been embarrassed
to spend money on
and then admit
to your misses
oh I've
loads of those
but at the moment
we've got a replica
of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
on the front lawn
we spoke about this before that is a weird little fucking coincidence a replica of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on the front lawn. We spoke about this before.
That is a weird little fucking coincidence.
Right.
He loves Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
The start of this show, I was talking about how much I love musicals.
Yeah.
Really into them.
I know you do too.
Yeah, yeah.
Carl said they're also shite.
No, I just don't like people singing what he can say.
Yeah.
He thinks musicals would be better if they just went.
If they just taught them. Yeah. yeah yeah instead of singing for five minutes oh i'm sad and i'm lonely just go i'm
really sad what they say in musical theater is if you can't say it because it's so emotional then
you sing it and if you can't sing it you dance i'll love that one yeah you can oh here he is
hey lives and breathes media performance from sulfur this one
he basically hates all musicals that he didn't see before he was 10 but there's two different
kinds of musicals so there's there's the musical where they just fucking sing all the way through
and i not like lame is i don't mind lame is your ladies is a great story and great characters but
and then there's the other one which is just a play with that's what I don't like when they're talking
I'm going to shop
I'm going to shop
and then like it turns
into a song
oh the old
go in a shop
Olivier winner
he's actually
abridged it from
before it was
I'm going to shop
do you want a cup of tea
could just say that
in a play
yeah you're thinking
of plays
that's right
shitty shitty bang bang got a pass with him though but you that's right shitty shitty bang bang
got a pass with him though
but you're a big
shitty shitty bang bang
I was Karatskas Pots
for a year
so we toured it
all over the place
yeah so it was
and that's a great show
to do yeah
it was a right laugh
but at the end
of the tour finish
obviously they're getting
rid of all the props
and
they're getting rid
of the car
they're getting rid
of everything yeah
and I didn't think
anything of it
because they were
thinking about going
back out on tour with it.
And then the company that did it was going out of business.
So they put them all up.
I found it one evening, like, you know,
first couple of weeks of lockdown.
And I was, like, bored.
And I was just on this auction site.
So dangerous.
I know.
And I just did that.
I bid for about eight or nine things just for a bit of fun.
Oh, I remember the breakfast-making machine.
Yeah, I might buy that.
It was, like, 100 quid.
And so then I bid for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
and then got an email saying you'd won.
I was like, oh, shit.
Right, so there's a thing coming this week.
It's a car, but not a car you can drive.
And it's on your front lawn.
And I just thought, do you know what?
Let's lean into it. So in the middle of the, yeah, basically the middle of your front lawn and i just thought do you know what let's lean into it so in the
middle of the yeah basically the middle of the front i still you clinging onto your working
class roots though in it because the lads you grew up with they've got like fridges and shit
and you're like i'm putting something there but it's going to be a replica of a car from a musical
that's my way of clinging to me roots there's still something in the garden that doesn't quite belong there.
Yeah, it definitely doesn't, but I love it.
It's great.
I just bought a gorilla to wind my wife up.
I really want ornaments in the garden.
I've got a really strong pull to just gorillas in the mist
just in my shrubbery in the garden.
Is there anything you would buy?
Soon as Laura's like, no, we're not getting it, I bought it.
Yeah.
I'm just hiding it behind like a little shrub.
I went on a bit of a trainer's binge
as well at one point.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, I've got boxes of trainers
that I will never wear
that I don't even know
if they're worth anything,
but I just bought them.
I sort of got that StockX,
you know, on there.
Oh, yes.
And I started getting them
because they do this thing
where they go,
you can enter the draw
for like an exclusive pair of trainers.
So you enter it, and then you win it,
and then it costs you 150 quid.
You're like, I've not won it then, have I?
You're a lucky winner.
So you feel like a winner.
You win the right to buy it.
But no one ever wins and not buys them,
so they've got you by the bollocks.
You don't win and go, oh, nah.
You go, oh, I'd better buy them then.
So yeah, we've got a garage full of trainers
that I don't know what to do with.
I've got a lot of trainers.
Yeah, it's getting out of hand
These are Manchester B
Nike Air Force 1's
Oh nice
There you go
Is there any sort of movie prop
That you would buy
I'm not wearing shit trainers today
Get in
I'm always wearing
Horrible
Cunt
Not my opinion
These are
Nike hair waffles
It's got waffles on
You've got waffles
I have
They're Vapor waffles
Psych eyes though
Oh yes
I didn't realise
We were in Vapor waffles
I'll give you a blowjob
Literally bought them
Thinking
The knob heads are like these
They are nice
They are lovely
They go with your jumper.
I'm trying to wear Scout shoes.
Don't turn on them.
Need some 110s.
Yeah, I'll get some 110s.
I'll get some 115s.
I think Adam's got a question.
Oh, sorry, Adam.
You've got a question.
I want to know if you'd buy a movie prop
or a prop from a show.
Because a few years ago,
I was doing a gig for a mutual friend of ours,
Peter Vincent,
up in the North East.
Hello, Peter.
I think it was Stokesley, maybe.
Love Stokesley.
Right.
And I'm on with Barry Dodds of Have A Word fame.
Had him on the other night, supported me on there.
He's great.
Great, great actor.
He's also a lunatic,
which he won't mind me saying.
I hope.
He's fine.
And he, at the time, was doing the Parapod,
still with Ian Boldsworth.
And Ian collects Star Wars stuff.
Right.
And someone had a life-size replica of R2-D2.
Okay, yeah.
So he'd asked Barry to go and collect it from this place in hartley pool or nearby
at midnight so barry is shitting himself he's like what am i gonna do and he was like adam
will you come with me and i was like well i'll go just for the story yeah so we pull up to this
place at midnight so you've done the gig and then you've gone to get r2d2
yeah all normal it was from it was on like a big industrial estate i can't explain i'll find a
photo on my phone there's a gate that looks like if you go beyond it like you can't complain if
you get murdered right right so we get there and barry's like oh i'll ring him so the guy answers
the phone and it's like yeah i'll come'll ring him. So the guy answers the phone and he's like, yeah, I'll come and get you.
Right?
In that voice?
Like that.
Are you misremembering it?
No, no, no.
I'll fucking come and get you.
Yeah.
Oh, he's a cockney.
He's Ray Winston.
He is Ray Winston.
Hello, give you a cheeky hacker.
Look at these odds.
Ian Bouldsworth,
bought odds with these.
I'll give you five to two
on getting fucking murdered.
So he comes and he has to like open the gate with two hands.
It's that heavy and old.
And he's just doing this, going.
And Barry's like, I don't want to drive in.
How many hands has he got?
What?
How many hands has he got?
Three.
He stops opening it, does this.
And he's on opening it.
Good spot there, Karl.
Right.
Thank you for picking, like, holding me to account on the story.
I appreciate it. I love a 45 minute story. Yeah, yeah. holding me to account on the story. I appreciate it.
I love a 45-minute story.
Yeah, yeah, it's my fault, your fault.
He says, he said it's about 200 yards,
and there's no light, there's nothing, it's pitch black.
Like Jimmy and Goodfellas, just keep going.
Yes.
Keep going in there.
Literally, and I was like, Barry, we're going to get killed.
He was like, I went, how are you paying for this?
He went, I've got cash.
I went, you're a fucking idiot.
You're an absolute not bad.
You're never paid for an R2-D2 in cash.
Pay 500 quid for this fucking big thing.
So we go in.
We drive all the way in, and it's this little,
it looks like your garden office.
It's about that big, but it's not as fancy.
It's made of wood, and it's like, oh, what the fuck?
So then he comes behind and just knocks on the back window and goes yeah right so we get out the car and then we went inside and it was
absolutely fine and the fella's just a lunatic and he makes star wars stuff but one of the scariest
things i've ever done but also pissing myself laughing at the same time just to do it to do
with the biggest scaredy cat in comedy barry Dodds. You had to paint it yourself.
So it was just all white.
I didn't quit.
I know.
But Ian collects stuff like that.
I just want to know,
is there anything you'd buy from anything?
I'd buy the big dog from Friends.
Oh, yeah. The white dog from Friends
that the lads ride in on when they were in the apartment.
I'd buy that.
You're ruining moving day for it.
When I got the garden office,
yeah, it's a good thing to get as you're struggling to day for it when I got the garden office yeah
it's a good thing to get
as you're struggling
to come out of a recession
and a lockdown
I got a
stay puffed
marshmallow man
oh right
about this big
obviously you can't get
full size
because he was a giant
yeah
I feel like
it's going to be
something like
Ecto-1
I nearly bought
Eric Walkum's car
his actual car
is that a movie
or was it just his car
no no
we were just talking
about memorabilia
and stuff
I nearly bought that
was it definitely
or was it just like
an old Ford Orion
it was a proper thing
and I was going to buy it
no it was like a
I can't remember
what it was now
it was a Mercedes
and anyway
I nearly bought it
the Eric Morcom society or whatever was like oh we're looking for someone to buy Eric Morecambe Society or whatever was like,
oh, we're looking for someone to buy Eric Morecambe's car.
And I was like, oh, that'd be cool,
thinking I'll rock up at gigs in Eric Morecambe's car.
You know, I'll be like, what?
Imagine that level of fame and love from people.
Imagine we get famous enough that someone can sell my Kia Sportage.
Like, way above Kia Sportage.
He'll buy it.
He's got a fucking, he's got a garage going
chitty chitty bang bang
Eric Markham
and this is
Adam Rose
Kia Sportage
yep
he's scratched it
on the side himself
and the
Penrith Fiesta
if you open the window
you can actually
still smell chips
you still fucking see chips that's just Chester, if you open the window, you can actually still smell chips.
There's no fucking sea chips.
That's just the still in the fucking car, dude.
Did you get it, no?
No, no.
In the end, it turned out they were looking for someone to buy it so it could go in a museum.
To give it them back.
I was a bit like, nah, you're not right.
I'll just come to the museum.
I'll just tell people I own it.
That's an NFT.
I bought that.
That's an NFT. Yeah, that. That's an NFT.
Yeah, like a real life NFT.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Not for me.
What would you buy, Adam?
Oh, you'd get the friend's dog.
I'd like the friend's dog.
I'd buy one of the guitars from School of Rock.
Oh, yes.
Absolutely.
I would is I'm going to, basically.
I'd buy the gavel from a few good men.
I'd buy Colonel Jessop's hat from a few good men I'd buy Colonel Jessop's hat from a few good men

suit from a few good men

So we've got some correspondence here on the old female.
Liam says, talking about support acts,
quick one, Liz,
would you rather only be a comedy tribute act
for a whole year
or you have to take one on tour with you as support
for five years?
I will take one on tour with me as support for five years. I will take one on tour with me as support for five years
and never watch a second of them
because I am not resorting to being the lowest form of entertainment
on the planet.
Okay.
Thanks for watching all the tribute acts.
So last time we talked about this,
we were talking about the Peter Kay tribute acts.
Keith, like, whoever they're called.
Pathetic.
I think he's like the big dog. We were talking about the Peter Kay tribute acts. Keith, like, whoever they're called. Pathetic. Keith Laird or something.
Yeah.
I think he's like the big dog.
I think there's guys that... Well, Peter's not gigging, is he?
That dream of being Keith Laird.
Oh, fucking hell, brand leader.
Someone got in touch and was like,
if you want to come and see me, I'm in Warrington this night,
in St. Helens that night, and I'm drawn to it in a weird way.
I know what you mean.
I don't know if I could handle it
it's weird isn't it
because
you know
when it comes to music
if we take our opinions
to one side
I mean I agree with you
but
if we just put the victory
onto one side
oh yeah it's grim
but I want to see it
if we move it to one side
why do we accept it
with music
I don't
not comedy
oh it despises it all
as a society we do oh I see right okay but I don't oh look right well don't. Not comedy. Oh, he despises it all. As a society we do. I don't.
Right, okay. I don't. Oh, look.
Right, well don't watch Starstruck on Saturday night.
I'm Robbie Williams. Look at me tattoos.
Fuck off. Do not watch
my new show Starstruck on a Saturday night.
You will fucking hate it.
I will not be watching that.
No, it's not for you. It's not for you.
Is there anything about musicals? Because then he's right back in.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Do you know it's not Alexander Hamilton,
the real one, in the musical?
Yeah.
You're gutted now, aren't you?
You thought it was Alexander Hamilton,
the fifth gay president of the United States of Canada.
Or however it goes.
If Alexander Hamilton had written his own autobiographical play
and had written all the songs.
Maybe I'd hate the musical.
Oh, yeah.
But someone matching their haircuts to their favourite singer
and then drawing fake tattoos on and going on stage to be like...
It is weird, isn't it?
So I've got some tribute acts in my family.
So my family...
Oh, you've really fucked this up.
It's his TV show.
It's his Christmas day.
And I've got very resolute opinions on this.
I'm fine with that.
Mum's Barbra Streisand,
Dad's Tom Jones.
So,
but we have,
genuinely have,
we've got,
so my uncle,
so they're all in musical,
like music bands
and stuff growing up,
show bands and stuff.
And then when they went
their separate ways,
so I've got one uncle
who does Michael Bublé every Friday night. so i've got one uncle who does michael buble have a friday night um and i've got another uncle who doesn't who does him yeah he does
him don't do saturdays i've got the game he's actually he's actually a vicar so he can't
he can't do saturdays he's working sunday morning
but he does michael buble during the week and then my other
uncle Brendan
he's
Neil Diamond
impersonator
Neil Diamante
I thought you were
going to say
day of the week
honestly it's true
that's my uncle
Brendan yeah
so I've got a couple
of them
my auntie does
Kate Bush
so I've actually
got this
quack two or three
knocking about
there's no way
that's true
mate honestly
your uncle
is a Michael Bublé
tribute actor
who's also a vicar.
Uncle Dennis, yeah.
And the other one is Neil Diamante.
Neil Diamante.
Yeah.
It's quite a rich family of tradition.
You had no chance.
So when I said I want to work in show business, there was no surprise.
Yeah, of course.
No one's like, if I'd have gone, I want to be an accountant.
Not under my roof.
yeah of course no one's like
if I'd have gone
I want to be an accountant
not under my roof
so yeah it's quite a big
it's quite a big deal actually
but I must say
what's weird about
the Tribute Act world
is they believe
a lot of them believe it
not my uncles necessarily
but a lot of them believe it
I did a gig years ago
at the Embassy Club
Bernard Manning's place
a charity gig
this is a bit legendary this one
did you get asked to do it
or did you ask to do it because it's from like a different world isn't it it bit legendary this one did you get asked to do it or did you ask to do it
because it's from like
a different world
isn't it
it is a different world
no I got asked to do it
and it was
Bernard
me
and Elvis
yeah
the Elvis
it wasn't the Elvis
to be fair
I don't know if he's
done watched Elvis
I thought we had a
breaking news story there
and there was only
one dressing room
and Elvis wouldn't share
so he was like no he wanted it to himself Elvis wouldn't share, so he was like,
no,
he wanted it to himself,
because he had to get ready,
he was like,
you know,
you're a comic,
you just turn up and do the,
I've got to get ready,
I've got to get into Elvis,
I was like,
okay,
I'm fine with that,
I don't need to watch that,
and so afterwards,
afterwards,
I think,
maybe I'd done a bit,
a bit out of 10 cats,
or something,
I don't know what happened,
but I'd definitely done a bit of telly,
or something,
enough for someone to want a photo afterwards
and I was coming out
these two women came up
can we get a photo
and I went yeah fine
no problem
did a little photo
and then Elvis come out
still as Elvis
not even used
the fucking dressing room
and he come out
and the girls went
oh can we get
can we get a picture
and he went
no pictures no
thank you
I was like
mate you're from
fucking Rochdale
have a photo
he believed it so much
that he was just like in the,
he was a very good Elvis.
He literally had a
what would Elvis do moment.
No, no, no, no photos.
Thank you very much.
I'm leaving the building.
It was, yeah.
So they are that person
when they're big.
Not all of them,
but yeah,
there's a few like pockets,
I think in show business
of like the more you talk to them,
the weirder they are.
Like comics,
we're on a level
where there's obviously something going on here that we crave attention i mean it's not it's
obvious isn't it you know not enough to put an elvis costume not enough to do that then you've
got those people who i guess have got a talent to mimic someone else the weirdest people in show
business i think are ventriloquists all of them now don't get me wrong
you've got your Paul Zerdins
and your Nina Contis
and that
who are normal-ish
yeah
but when you get into it
and you're sat in a room
with just a ventriloquist
it's fucking weird
just a matter of time
they're weird
honestly they're weird
yeah
I think it's absolutely mental
I can't believe how much it
they don't know who they are
and they've got someone just talking all the time that is most i interviewed nina
continue the week and i said it to her i said ventriloquists are weird aren't they like generally
she said yeah because your longest relationship you've ever had with anyone it's a fucking puppet
on the end of your hand yeah it. Why can't I get past?
So, look, I can suspend my belief with stand-up,
and this is something I need to enjoy a proper stand-up,
is obviously an intelligent person who watches a lot of stand-up knows that the comedian has gone on stage
and is not saying it for the first time.
They've done it every night for a year or whatever.
But you have to suspend your belief watching a stand-up comedian
for a lot of the emotion in the routines
that it is spilling out of them.
So that's why, for me personally, I don't love watching an hour of one-liners
because I can't believe it for that long.
I can't do it.
I cannot suspend my belief enough with a venture request
because when they're like, right?
I'm like, yeah, but you're saying that.
See, I disagree. That's you. you're saying that. Like, and it's like, that's you.
You're saying, imagine if he said this.
Yeah, but he hasn't because it's a puppet and you're saying that.
But I think if you watch someone like Paul Zerdin,
who is so good at it, like I think,
especially if you're in the audience,
maybe different side of stage,
but in the audience after five minutes, I think you're in.
I've seen like crowds at Jonglers on a Thursday,
you know, Friday, Saturday night in the middle of Leicester,
who has been a bear pit all night.
And then he brings out a fucking baby and they're going,
you know,
this is comedy.
You're following Paul.
No,
I'm not.
The best story I've ever heard about ventriloquist.
So this is back in the day.
This is like in the seventies.
Roy Walker told us this.
We were talking about mad sort of moments
that have happened
in dressing rooms.
This might be before your time.
I mean, not yours, Dan.
Same age as Jason.
Just because we're the same age.
That's all I'm saying.
I'm just saying
because we're the same age.
Yeah, yeah.
Because we're mates.
Yeah, yeah.
Because back in the day,
there was an act called
Ray Allen with Lord Charles
and he had a,
it was like a monocled puppet with a top hat,
and that was his little thing, right?
So Roy says that they were doing this gig in Blackpool,
and he's turned up, Ray Allen.
He's got a massive trunk, and he goes into the room,
and in the dressing room, they're all just sat around
in the dressing room having a fag or whatever,
just chilling out before the gig.
Oh, there you go.
There he is, exactly there.
Oh, terrifying. Yeah, absolutely terrifying. Jase, do you remember him? in the dressing room having a fag or whatever just chilling out before the gig oh there you go there he is exactly there oh I've terrifying
yeah absolutely
Jason do you remember him
yeah I remember this
yeah you will do
yeah
so this is
that's Ray Allen
and Lord Charles right
so
he turns up
he comes in the room
and he hangs
Lord Charles up
on a little hook
and he puts his trunk there
and he goes
he says I'm just going to
get myself sorted
have a shower or whatever
you know
he said as he's leaving he goes oh boys and there's like four or five of them in there he goes, he said, I'm just going to go and get myself sorted, have a shower or whatever, you know.
He said,
as he's leaving,
he goes,
oh boys,
and there's like four or five of them in there.
He goes,
don't look in the trunk and then leaves the room.
Now,
that's weird anyway.
And so they're all sat there
all of a sudden.
They weren't going to look in the trunk
but now he said,
don't look in the trunk.
They're like,
I'm going to look in the trunk.
So,
one of them goes over,
maybe Roy, one of the others, opens the trunk. There's hardly anything in this trunk. They're like, I'm going to look in the trunk. So one of them goes over, maybe Roy,
one of the others,
opens the trunk.
There's hardly anything
in this trunk.
There's a couple of spare parts
of Lord Charles maybe,
you know,
a spare suit,
some toiletries and whatever.
Weird.
And he closes the trunk,
puts it back in its place,
sits back down.
Ray Allen comes back in
five minutes later,
looks up at Lord Charles
on the hook
and Lord Charles goes,
they looked in the trunk
he froze the voice to the puppet they looked in the trunk how fucking weird is that the puppet
didn't really say it you look like he's like like he's looking annabelle but how did he make the
string i don't know if the thing moved but the voice was enough and also the fact that he knew something that
happened when he wasn't in the room fucking weird that's got that that guy's got a bit he knows
every time he goes for a piss yeah he's just gone for a little walk around the corridors
this is my bit they're the best have you ever sat with one of the old boys and just
listened to some of those stories from the back of the day they're incredible you need to get
somebody you know mick miller or something like that on here. We'd love to get Mick on, actually.
Honestly, the stories,
they're on another level.
We've got stories of heckles
and stuff like that.
I'm doing a gig with him next week,
and you, actually,
for the Ukraine benefit.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We should probably plug that, actually.
On the 18th of April,
there's a benefit gig
for the Ukrainian war effort.
We're funding them, yeah,
at the Manchester Apollo.
No, no. not so flippant
we
the Ukraine need bombs
we are raising money
with comedy
for bombs
to was back
over to Russia
Justin Morales texted me
and said will you do
a charity gig for me
it's something to do
with Ukraine
I think it's more
for the refugees
yeah oh yeah
no no no
it's to arm the refugees
with nukes
we're giving every
Ukrainian refugee
a nuke
and sending them back
and the one gig
to Manchester Apollo
is going to fund
the entire thing
you love charity
don't you
Les Dennis is on
Les Dennis is pro nukes
Phil Walker
is obviously
Roy Walker's son
he's someone we've all
gigged with loads
he
I've been mates with him
for a while
lived in St Anse
for a little bit
and we used to have a coffee
and I am such a
I love
asking about the old days great so
phil was the son of a legend you just mentioned roy walker roy walker post of catchphrase if anyone
say what you see yeah say what you see absolutely lived around the corner for the whole of their
childhood from les dawson who's one of my favorite old comics you were talking about
the legends who you used to grow up with when I was a little kid.
Les Dawson held in such high esteem.
There was an old shepherd from Greece who did a terrible thing to his geese,
but he went too far with the budget he guarded,
the parrot rang the police.
Just amazing.
I remember that.
Watching him play the piano wrong.
So stupid.
And Phil was like, yeah, I've got some weird memories from,
obviously, my dad's mates were all tv legends yeah
i was like what do you remember he was like yeah one day middle of summer a rolls royce pulled up
outside and it was les dawson in speedos oiled up in flip-flops cigar he'd been sunbathing and he decided he needed to tell roy something so drove around
some towns oiled up like ray winston in that fit in the film you know like absolutely shining
came and he went is your dad in he was like no he's not he's like i'll wait for him came in the
living room and sort of like spanning on a spot and went oh i've oiled up i've oiled up no your mum will
be fuming if i sit down go and get me some towels go and get me some towels i'll wait for your dad
made phil walker run upstairs get some towels out he went lay them on the floor lay them on the
floor he laid towels out les dawson lay on the towels so he didn't get oil on the couch and started just telling jokes to
to a child roy walker roy's like i've got a very strong memory of just sitting on the couch
pissing myself laughing at a shiny les dawson smoking a cigar doing his set brilliant
yeah they're great they're i mean obviously the big boys as well when i first started
uh before actually
before I started
I was about 15
and I had this girlfriend
whose uncle was a comic
on the old circuit
Dave Barron
and he'd play
like in the clubs
and I was interested in it
I was always asking him questions
and he said
oh do you want to come to a gig
and you know
we're going to Blackpool
so I just used to
hold his shirt
and sort of
so I could get in
you know with him
and sit with him
and then you'd be
in these dressing rooms
everybody fagging away
and just like chatting
and the best story
I ever heard
was
it was at this club
the number one club
in Blackpool
and there was an old
comic on like
in his sort of
50s, 60s
and he'd been
you know
he'd been doing
40 minutes
and I don't know
if you know this
but like there's
and even now
to a certain extent
there's a point with some club owners where you have to do your time like 20 minutes 30 minutes 40 minutes and I don't know if you know this but like there's a and even now to a certain extent there's a point
with some club owners
where you have to do
your time
like 20 minutes
30 minutes
40 minutes
irrespective of
whether it's funny
or it's going well
that's not
because that's just
people's opinions
time is not an opinion
so this kind of
there's an old story
from Alexander's
because Alexander's
used to be like that
you do your 40 minutes
yeah yeah
and there's a story
I won't name him
in case it doesn't
want to be named
there's a Manchester comic who did 38 and come off and the woman who used to run like that. You do your 40 minutes. Yeah, yeah. And there's a story, I won't name him in case he doesn't want to be named. There's a Manchester comic
who did 38
and come off
and the woman who used to run it
was like,
you're not getting paid,
you haven't done your time
and he went,
he shouted at the audience,
went,
just stay where you are,
I need to do another two minutes.
He went back on,
started his watch,
said not another word,
stood there for 120 seconds
and I went,
goodnight,
I'm going to get his money
and played it again.
Usually the good clubs
that have these rules.
Yes, they don't.
People can judge it.
But this club had this rule.
So this guy's doing 40 minutes
and he's not just dying on his arse.
No one's heckling.
We can deal with that.
Heckling and being,
people are not listening
and they're just chatting quite loudly
and chatting away
and just doing their own thing
and no one's listening.
And he gets to the end.
It's one of those clubs in the day
where you weren't allowed to swear
or do anything sexual.
So you just have to do, you know.
So he gets to the end of his act and he says thank you
good night and he leaves like despondent as you can imagine and the noise and the rabble behind
him of people just talking has not changed and as he's walking off to the dressing room the bingo
trolley is coming the other way and it gets wheeled up onto the stage and as it does a hush
falls across the audience and something just twigs in his head, he's
like, I fucking live it and he runs back out onto stage and he's giving it, you setter
fucking twats, you cunts, every single one of you, I've been doing this job for 40, man
and boy, you disrespect me, I've done 40 minutes of my best stuff, you didn't even fucking
listen, the bingo trolley comes on and you're quiet for that you're fucking ignorant and he's giving
and the club secretary
is running across
trying to stop him
and he goes
he's like Dave
Dave
we were just having
a minute silence
for somebody who
died last week
fucking hell
I love that moment
just on stage like that
see you next week
I love it
love it so yeah sorry what was the question
um from oh this is uh anonymous by the looks of it wigwam boys question if you lived in the us
would you own a gun would you have a little handgun just for some peace of mind or would
you go all out and get a
big fuck off rifle shotgun also which of you would be the first to accidentally shoot yourself in the
leg eight mile style that's from ben sorry i'd absolutely have a gun in the states i don't agree
with the gun laws i don't necessarily think they should be i think they should be a lot more gun
control but if every other cunt's got one, I'm having one.
Right.
That's the argument
that the mental gun people say,
though, isn't it?
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
I totally understand their argument.
I don't agree with it.
But if I was in their position,
I'd be like,
you know what?
We should get rid of them.
Are we all getting rid of them?
We're all getting rid of them.
Right, take mine as well.
You're keeping yours,
are you, John?
I'm having mine as well.
And also,
in Scotland last week i
fired a shotgun yeah it made me feel very powerful now i actually kind of you're all getting rid of
them you're okay you've got rid of them i'm keeping mine it's just on the wrong mile
went to a shooting range during paul smith's stag do yeah right and uh i actually offered
the fella uh double money to sell me a shotgun
because they've got them on sale for 500 quid
and he's like, but you need a licence.
I was like, well, if I give you the grand,
can I just have it?
Well, we're back.
You are putting bungs out everywhere.
Parking spot.
Thank you very much.
I'll keep that gun.
Nice one.
I just thought I'd quite like to have a shotgun.
Do you want a shotgun for the studio?
I said, how much?
And he was like, we can't get one.
I was like, please.
I honestly don't think you should be allowed
a Nerf gun in here
it'd be cool to have a gun
on the wall
not just like
one of the other offices
are being too noisy
if an overzealous
scientist comes in
it's like
do you want to fucking
leave do you John
do you ever have that
what's this John guy
oh
John
fucking John
John is everywhere
he sounds like a right
John
he can't
he just goes in his
epic up draw trying man's name it's John again John again John is everyone. He sounds like a right smart. John, he just goes in his FA Cup draw,
trying man's name.
It's John again.
John again.
Poor bastard.
John's a way to John.
He's over in America.
He's an overzealous scientist.
Oh, it could have been Puerto Rico.
Juan.
Fuck it.
We need that bag of names.
I'm going to make it
because I'm going to do
a little FA Cup draw
just for when the next
John comes in
you do have a name though
mine's Jeff
yeah mine's Jeff
absolutely
yours is usually Jeff
I always go Jeff
I think it's just a funny name
I go Jeff when it's just me and you
yeah
like
when you're showing off
it's John
it's just John
John's just the first name
that comes to my head
every time I sort of don't disagree with you with the gun thing to be honest I think Well, when you're showing off, it's John. It's just John. John's just the first name that comes to my head. Every time.
I sort of don't disagree with you with the gun thing, to be honest.
I think I'd be the same, I think.
If they suddenly brought them into Stockport,
you know, if we just had our own little thing.
What do you mean, suddenly?
Well, that's not where I live.
And that's the lake.
Have you shot a gun
don't leave the bullets
on the heated floor
how hot does this floor get
have I ever shot a gun
I've done the old
you know
stag do
you know
shooting
that's what I meant
I didn't mean
have you ever shot someone
coming up you know
I know you went to uni
and salford
exactly no but when I was a kid so my uncle who thankfully now I didn't mean, have you ever shot someone? Coming up, you know. I know you went to uni in Salford.
Exactly, exactly.
No, but when I was a kid, so my uncle,
who thankfully now has turned his life around and is a drugs counsellor for the NHS.
He's not the Neil Diamante.
No, it's a different one.
There's 11 of them, to be fair.
My mum's got 11 brothers and sisters.
So he has very much turned his life around now,
but back in the day was a wrong one.
You know when the FBI employer
hacker to sort out computers
he now gets people off drugs because he's also
managed to get himself off drugs
but when we were a kid he stole our car
and so
we got up one morning for school
there was no car there, my mum had a yellow
Triumph Dolomite
which is, and he
She's now on Jason's front lawn
and he went and did a Hello Triumph Dolomite. She's now on Jason's front lawn.
And he went and did a drugs deal with it.
I mean, that is not the car to be inconspicuous in the middle of Moss Side doing a drugs deal.
Yeah, but that's the thing.
Hide in plain sight.
They'll never see you coming.
You'd never expect that to be the drugs car.
The police will have underestimated them there.
Yeah.
Anyway, it turned.
Steal a police car, do a drug deal in a police car
they're not looking they're like no that's all right he's police it very much went that's a
bastard of a car though yeah can we have a look at the dollar might look at the dollar might
oh for the audio listeners this is about to get sexy oh so that was my mum's car which we would
often say can you drop us off at the end of the road for school are you messing i'd want to be driving right through the school gates and that yeah now that's a classic
back then it was jason are we definitely the same age i know because that looks like a car from
1953 jason's younger than you jason's only 40 right wow i love i love our little Chitty chat Chitty chat
Chitty chat chat
Ha ha ha
Chitty chat chat chat
That was our car
And anyway
When it turned up
Eventually
Because my uncle's
Not a total wrong
The car did come back
Eventually
He didn't steal it
He borrowed it
He borrowed it
Yes
But when it came back
It had four bullet holes
In the back
On the back wing
Which never got fixed
So they were just there For our whole Like the rest of our childhood The rest of that car But when it came back, it had four bullet holes in the back wing, which never got fixed.
So they were just there for our whole,
like the rest of our childhood,
the rest of that car.
So we'd go to school
and I would basically
charge people 40p
to come and have a look
at the bullet holes in our car.
And no one fucked with your mum
ever again
because she was the badass
dropping off with bullet holes
in the dolomite.
So there you go.
There's another story
I've never said out loud.
Absolutely amazing. I don't know why. I don another story I've never said out loud. Absolutely.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
What a shitty thing to do.
I'm going to do a drug deal.
I'm going to steal my sister's car
just for a few days.
Well, it's very hard
to get those conversations out
when you're doing
the Alan Titchmarsh show.
It says here, Jason,
that your uncle
was a drug addict.
It's funny you mention that, Alan.
Shall we do some advice?
I feel that Jason would be good at advice.
You're excellent at advice.
That's why people write, isn't it?
We've got some advice from Scotland.
Do you know what I've realised recently?
I'm very good at giving advice, but I'm not very good at taking my own.
You don't want advice
you know when you're
in a situation
and you know what you would
advise someone else to do
but you still don't
do it yourself
yeah
I think that's everybody
yeah
Scott Kirkwood says
Jason
you're not special Adam
no no I just mean
I'm trying to make you feel better
I'm trying to have a personality bro
me and my missus oh it's written Glaswegian me and my missus have a personality bro me and my
missus, oh it's written
Glaswegian, me and my missus have a wee one
due in September, I'm gonna do it
us brothers, really badly
I'm a season ticket holder at Rangers
and she's a season ticket
holder at Celtic
oh, some weird sex
so need the boys views on
what rules, what the rules are
before this ends in her being a single parent.
For me, it's you support who your dad supports.
So little one on the way, Scott needs a bit of advice.
What's happening here?
This is a sectarian childbirth.
That's tough, that.
Who's taking him to footy?
Is she taking him to match?
This should have been sorted long before you
thought about having kids agreed what before they had sex but when they first started dating i want
you i want you yeah all this needs agreeing first no you can you can right in the middle of it like
i'm a listen i'm about to come but before i do who's you support? If we get pregnant
I'll go to your seats.
You're not in the fucking main stand.
I'm behind the goal!
Some absolutely brutal
Glaswegian accents
by absolutely all of us.
Apologies the whole of Scotland.
If I started dating a girl,
right,
and she was like,
oh,
me entire family
are Man United fans.
About,
like,
two weeks after we became
officially together,
like 10,
20 dates in,
whatever you are,
right?
I'd be like,
just so you know.
Two weeks,
20 dates.
Adam does not fuck about. No, two weeks after we've become officially a couple. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd be like, just so you know. Two weeks, 20 days. Adam does not fuck about.
No, two weeks after we've become officially a couple.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'd be like, look, there's actually something we need to talk about.
If this goes somewhere and we haven't had kids,
they're going to be a Liverpool fan.
You're a crazy lady.
No, I'm not.
Two weeks in to it being official,
just let you know if we do have kids.
If we ever have kids.
Listen, John, if we have kids.
You're a beautiful woman, John.
I'm falling for you.
Even though you're a mank and a bloke.
If we ever have kids.
I think that'll put the girl off, you say.
If it does, she's not the one.
She's not the one.
I personally think that what's harder about that one
is they're both season ticket holders
that's a big thing
because often
like with my wife for example
her family are all United fans
they're from Kent obviously
and they
I love it
it makes me happy
that they just form into that
fall into that cliche
United do have a lot of Kent's
in their supportership
nice
solid let's give that
what it didn't deserve
that was like cunt
thank you Carl thank you for clearing that one up sorry Jason so Nice. Solid. Let's give that what it didn't deserve. I was like, cunt. Thank you, Carl.
Thank you for clearing that one up.
Sorry, Jason.
So, yeah, so there was a United thing going on,
but she's not that arsed,
even though it's in the background of that family.
So I was like, well, clearly there'll be Man City fans then.
But the fact they're both season ticket holders,
I think is the main issue.
This sounds pretty committed.
I would probably pick a third team, a different team,
maybe a lower league, someone else.
Partick Thistle.
I don't think you can...
Let them pick when they're old enough, like Paul the Octopus.
Green and white on one side, green and white and blue on the other.
Just see which way the baby rolls.
Yeah, exactly. Paul the Octopussy.
He's fucking puked on the hoops.
He's a fucking rangers.
I think...
It's too late.
He's not been born.
It's too late.
Can I just point out that when you're giving advice,
you can't say it's too late.
If you're writing into Deidre going,
I don't know what I'm going to do
because my fucking wife's sleeping with somebody else. It's too late like if you're writing into daydream going i don't know what i'm gonna do because my wife's sleeping with somebody else it's too late that's not advice
this should have been agreed on the third date
do you want spicy rice with this rap and
janine no but let's be honest, right?
This is a relationship between a man and a woman, right?
Oh, clear it out.
You just let's... Back to basics.
You're assuming a lot there, but okay.
Let me break it down.
Let me break it down.
Right?
Yeah.
She's going to win because women win.
Oh, I love.
And this kid is now going to be a Celtic fan.
And there's nothing he can do.
It is too late.
My advice to him is to pray to God
that this kid isn't really interested in football.
Your God, go to your church.
Give it.
Give her this one.
But you've got to,
my advice to him is to,
she's going to win anyway,
so you might as well give her it
and sort of cash it in later
so instead of fighting for it you go look right obviously a big elephant in the room here we're
gonna have a kid gonna be the celtic rangers fan i love you you're gonna be the one going through
childbirth you can sort of raise this kid as a celtic fan but i get like four things i want in
the future because this is a big thing and if you use this to your advantage down the line
you can fucking
back it into a corner
I don't know
I think it's
I don't know
what's equal to this though
what would you ask for
like the extra pizza slice
or like a new car
you want to waste it
it's not at wishes
it's like three wishes
you don't want to waste one
now you get like
another thing
that comes up like this
let's say they're looking
to buy a new house
and she likes this one
he likes this one
he's like we're getting this one there's one done he's still got three
more to go next kid what's this gonna be probably bigger than the kid supports the house what i
think that's bigger well then she can tell him no then it's a second kid it's a second kid essentially
that's what you've got to do you've got it if you if you never you can't have odd number kids that's
the the rule because then you're going to have the imbalance
yeah I know
but if he lets her go first
he could
you could have the name maybe
maybe
you have the name of the kid
and then he could name it after like a
Queen Elizabeth
yes
Queen Elizabeth
the fucking Celtic fan
yeah
or
do you know what
you've stumbled onto the absolute perfect formula here
Nick Orange
what you've got to do is you've got to find...
I imagine he cares a lot about this, right?
You've got to find something else that she gives a shit about a lot
and argue to the death about that
and then be like, right, well, you can call it whatever
or you can whatever or whatever,
but the kid is a Rangers fan.
So you've either got to completely give it up now
and cash it in later
or find something else she really gives a shit about
and gaslight her until...
The longer he talks, the darker it gets.
Just call the child Queen Elizabeth,
William of Orange, Billy Boy
and then watch her put that on a fucking Celtic shirt.
Or play for twins and have one each.
Get in her head.
Underminer.
Yeah.
All right.
Oh, yeah, Jason, you've got Twins.
I have got Twins.
Did she not want one of them as a United fan?
No, she wasn't bothered, to be honest, no.
But every so often,
the kids wind me up by saying they're going to be United fans
because they know it's the one thing that will get her. That will hurt her the most, yeah. But I remember're going to be united fans just like because they
know it's the one thing that will get the most yeah but i remember saying it to my dad when i
was a kid because obviously when i was a kid city were terrible and united were winning everything
and i came up and i got picked on all the time at school so i was like one of the few
city fans because unfortunately the the cliche that united fans don't live in manchester
is not true there's actually loads of them and i was at school and it was full of them it's only me and david lindsay it's about half and half oh yeah yeah i'd say so
like it which is weird because when i grew up there like oh they're all from down south you're
like when you're in manchester only but it's yeah that'll be a lot easier and i came home from
school one day after another like torrid day and uh we came beat 4-1 by Swindon and I came in
and my dad was sat
at the kitchen table
and I said
Dad, I've got a great idea
I was about 8
I've got a great idea
and he went
what?
I went
you know like
City keep losing
and I keep getting
picked on at school
and he went
yeah I went
I was just looking
at some of the
United results
why don't we just
support United?
And even now,
when he looks at me,
I can see it in his eyes.
He lost a bit of love.
Yeah,
I can still see
he has to remind himself
to love me.
I remember
when I was a kid
watching Michael Owen
come on
in the 98 World Cup
against Argentina
before he scored that goal.
And I remember
watching it with my dad.
It's just a really
clear memory
I was like
my dad was like
oh you want to
watch this lad
he's fucking brilliant
he's going to be
the best player
in the world
this kid
and I went
who's he played for
and he went
Liverpool
and I went
I'm going to
support them then
I'm six
and my dad was like
yeah you are
and I really remember
it really clearly
well Frank Skinner
used to say
I remember Frank Skinner
used to do a line
which was about
what team you support
should be done with a map and a ruler.
To basically see where you were born
and what the nearest ground is to where you are.
So maybe that's something they could do,
is work out where they live
and which ground is closest to where they live.
There's many things that can induce labour.
So, get a drive-in past's Ground and give her a curry.
Yeah, it's where they live, innit?
What do you mean? Not where they give birth.
Not where they give birth.
No, you said where they were born.
As in physically the hospital.
I don't care enough.
Sums it up. Beautiful.
Get on board.
Give her a curry and tickle her
outside Ibrox.
I have a word.
Official advice.
It's what we fucking name the show.
This have a word is from a person.
Have a word.
Hey up lads, can you have a word with my missus?
We, like a lot of other couples, have lost the spark.
We enjoy watching box sets instead.
The problem is she falls asleep during every episode.
She's tired, fair enough, but if I turn off the show
and try and do anything else, she comes alive
like a fucking Halloween decoration
and makes me keep watching the TV,
but I have to rewind back to what she's missed.
She then falls asleep again.
It takes us two or three nights to watch every poxy episode.
I'm over here blue balling it,
wondering who the killer is in Mare of Easttown,
and she's having a nap.
Can you have a word with her to either get her on the Mozambique
or let go of the dream of watching TV together
because it can't take me longer to watch a show
than it took them to make it.
Get on me.
No.
Just tell them no.
You love watching a box set with you.
I do, but not under these circumstances.
This is hostage situation shit.
Don't be a hostage in your own home.
I just think don't pick a box set that you care about, really.
Do you know what I mean?
So save that for yourself.
If there's something you really want to watch, that's what I do. Just make sure the stuff I really do you know what I mean so save that for yourself if there's something
you really want to watch
that's what I do
just make sure
the stuff I really want to watch
I watch by myself
and then stuff that
comes up in conversation
I go
oh yeah
so there's like a diplomatic
box set
so if you miss a bit
you go
that's fine
what if you have to watch
see the problem with that is
the one that you don't
really care about
in this situation
the one he doesn't care about
he's going to have to watch three times but you could just get your phone can't you just have a little
oh no oh my my if we're watching something together me and laura so ozark was the last
one that got us tuned in we love ozark think it's really well made if i dare like if i get a message
from the whatsapp group for the podcast which is work of, if I dare just even do a side link,
she pauses it and then just goes, oh, I love that.
Just wait till you're finished.
We're hypocrites, aren't we?
Because I get annoyed if my wife looks at her phone while I watch something
and vice versa.
But then the classic always happens is I'll be on my phone and she'll go,
what are you doing?
I go, I was just seeing what else he's been in.
IMDB. I see what he's been in. You're checking that'll go what are you doing I go I was just seeing what else he's been in IMDB just want to see
what he's been in
you're checking that
on Twitter are you Jase
you're looking at
your own mentions
for that piece of information
I can't watch things
on my own
I have to watch them
with someone
I have to watch them
with someone
are you scared
we're watching
an American Horror Story
right now
so when she falls asleep
and that's on
I turn it off.
Right.
Have any of you watched Is It Cake?
We watched an episode the other day.
We had a party on Sunday for Mother's Day,
my son's birthday.
We ended up in the garden.
Oh, I'm going to do another thing here.
Anyway, we've got a telly in the garden.
And as soon as it came up,
I was like, oh, fuck it.
Baby, your house smells of cat shit.
Right next to Shitty Shitty Bang Bang, we've got a...
I'll tell you in the garden.
I'm not going to apologise.
Is that the late TV there, Jason?
And the kids were sort of like...
We were trying to chat amongst adults,
and I said, oh, just stick something on,
so Netflix come on, and then this Is It Kate come on.
In the end, there was like 40 people sat around
watching it like it was the gut vinyl.
It's a mad show.
Me and Etta
sat there last week.
Sometimes when we go on Netflix,
if she's allowed to pick,
it goes shit really quick.
Yeah.
So I have to sort of be like,
not that one, darling,
not that one.
She picked Is It Cake
and the title is so simple.
I was like,
I can't resist.
We watched the whole thing.
She was so fucking into it.
I love those moments
where you can hang out
with your five-year-old daughter and you're both into it. love those moments where you can hang out with your
five-year-old daughter and you're both into it yeah just so simple and well halfway through
episode one i was like couldn't believe i'd been talked into watching it yeah and i'm like
right how is this being made this is one of the worst things i've ever seen in my entire life
and the host by the way he owes the most most he owes someone money it's like going on with
that guy it's like he got sentenced it's like right you can either do 25 years in a maximum
security prison or you can host this show on netflix and he's like i need three days to think
about that he fucking hates it he's got no interest in bacon or cake whatsoever halfway
through episode one i was like this is horrific by the end of episode four i was like how is this not on every channel all day i think they got an arena show tickets for that it's a tiktok video turned into
a tv series isn't it it's like it's a mad like 30 second clip into but it's incredibly it's the
tacos that was the one that was when i went from like yeah of course no spoilers it's a burg yeah
well mad shit is made into cake but there is a point where you're like
well obviously
it's not a cake
because it's
go fuck yourself
you magician
it's mad
I'll watch it later
yeah it's well worth
a watch I'd say
it's mad
I can imagine
but it's good
to turn your brain
off telly isn't it
yeah which is
that's the type of thing
you can just be like
on your phone
yeah that's what
I think that's fine
I'm a little worried
about my attention span
I think the the era of scrolling social media Instagram reels yeah that's what you i think that's fine i'm a little worried about my attention span i think
the the era of scrolling social media instagram reels tiktok has started to mess with my attention
span because i am finding something on netflix and going oh cool top boy top boys just made a
second series on netflix yeah i've heard good things about it. Top Boy is amazing. Watched it 10 years ago
when it was Kano
and your man from So Solid Crew.
And then Drake is one of the executive producers now.
Got it remade
because he watched it and was like,
this is amazing.
So Drake got it remade.
Watched the series a few years ago.
Excellent.
Halfway through episode one
and I'm gone.
I was on my phone.
Just because there's something about the long form of like,
I've actually stopped picking up.
You know, if I see somebody on the phone in the audience,
like I'd usually go, I'd make a point of it and make them like a prick.
And I've got to a point now, post-lockdown, where I think,
do you think because there's so many people doing it?
They're not being used to watching something for an hour and a half or an hour.
It's a long time.
It's so long, you know,
that you just find something else to do.
Well, Netflix have started making short things.
Like there's some episodes that are 12, 13 minutes.
Explains good.
Because they've basically gone off the YouTube algorithm
of like any more than 30 minutes.
People are like, oh, God.
But then Batman comes along at three hours
and you're like, come on.
You can't put three hours at the cinema and not put a break in or something. Like it's mental. An then Batman comes along at three hours, and you're like, come on. You can't put three hours at the cinema
and not put a break in or something.
It's mental.
An interval?
Yeah, an interval at the cinema.
Chalk Isis.
That's what they need to start doing.
That'd be so good.
Yeah, that'd be sick.
Cinema intervals?
Cinema intervals.
They used to have them.
They used to have them back in the day.
They used to have them, yeah.
And they still have them for Bollywood films,
because they're like eight hours.
How long was back in the day?
When are we talking?
90s?
Well, when his mum was driving that car in 1954 like back back like sort
of 60s 70s yeah into the cinema yeah i remember going to bambi and getting a choc ice in the
interval maybe in the 80s actually yeah you're probably right sick i'd love that man a little
cinema break yeah we're both old go fuck yourself i've got another old person i always get rinsed
for being old you're not old dan when he says Bambi, that was the premiere.
He went to the black on my Bambi.
The 80s and 80s.
Oh, I hate you a lot.
What a pleasure to have you.
Should we call it a pod?
I think we should.
I've got to get home, sort a car park and space out,
and then I've bunged for, you know.
And then I've got to get over to Manchester to open open for mr manford yeah i was busy and um thank you for coming out
joking you've can you tell us where we can obviously we know you and everyone knows you
but you've got a podcast i guess i have yeah i do i do i feel like that's a good podcast yeah i do a
radio show and then it turns into a podcast.
But it's a good laugh actually. No, haven't you got the other podcast
that you were doing?
Wasn't it?
No, no, stop.
What?
I've pulled that one out of my butt cheeks.
Oh, I did one with Judy Love
for a little while.
Right, okay, cool.
No, me and Steve Edge
do one for Absolute,
which is similar to this,
just, you know,
chatting shit with your mate.
You know what I mean?
So, which is a lot of fun.
We've got a lot more rules
than you, like Ofcom and stuff.
But I actually got in trouble with Ofcom
I don't know if
I've mentioned this
I've not mentioned it
on the radio show
obviously
but I'll probably get
in trouble for telling you
about it
and basically
what happened was
so we sometimes record
on a Friday
and it goes out
on a Sunday morning
somebody edits it
one of our producers
edits it
and then it goes out on a Sunday with songs in it one of our producers edits it and then it goes out on a
Sunday with songs in between and all that it's happy days and um one thing what we talk about
New Year's resolutions at the beginning of the year and I felt one bloke text in uh messaged in
on on social media and he said to me um he said Jase I this year I'm gonna eat less and and swear
less as well just I'm swearing an awful lot at the moment.
I'm just going to try and cut the two.
And we sort of did a few jokes about it, messing around,
and we said, you know, the end of January,
and Steve said, the end of January,
you're just going to open the fridge and go, fuck it.
That's a nice little end to that little bit.
And then, because it was funny, we were like,
oh, well, just, even though it's swearing
and it is national radio and there's kids listening,
let's put a bleep in, because it's a funny joke. You it is national radio and these kids listen, let's put a bleep in
because it's a funny joke.
You don't want to take away from the joke,
so put a bleep in.
Anyway, somebody forgot to put the bleep in.
And so on a Sunday morning off it,
it actually came out.
And I was actually at home listening to the show.
It was on in the background.
And anyway, it actually was no bother.
It was one of those things
that nobody really
you know listeners
are pretty cool
and nobody really got
you know
too complaining about it
a few people tweeted
anyway a few
maybe a week later
a few people tweeted
complaining
no just mentioning it
yeah
just saying oh
naughty boys
like sort of thing
just joking you know
off comma like basically
HR for broadcasting
yeah so if anything
goes wrong
or you've got a complaint about anything that's broadcast then it goes to them they're like the
head teacher so a couple of weeks later somebody eventually does find it and complains to offcom
offcom start to investigate and anyway it's all been fine they pay a little fine and you do an
apology and it sort of works itself out i was annoyed about it for like a few weeks um and i realized the reason i was
annoyed is because it's not because a kid heard you swear it's not because an accident happened
and somebody wasn't doing their job properly it's because you know that one of your listeners
is a fucking grass yes there's something about knowing that these people that you trust and
love and talk to every week. He fucking said that.
And it really wound me up.
Well, Jason, you could
rob a bank with this lot
because the murder that
we've got away with.
Well, I know. I've heard it. I'm surprised
you're still on air.
That's why you keep saying
no to all the mainstream money
and you can say whatever you want, including fuck that grass and pig twat fuck wow he didn't say that he didn't say it i
said it it was me nothing to do with him can't cancel this show come for me you rat long-tailed
that's from before by the way this is just looks like adams had a stroke and gone mental
this is all from before you're ready
just for a bit of context uh cheers jason really appreciate it nice to see you we have got an arena
show on sale uh it goes on patreon pre-sale on wednesday it goes on public sale on friday that
is the 6th and 8th of april respectively if you want those early access to the best tickets make

I've got a few tickets left

adamrowe.co.uk
forward slash shows.
He's at dannightingale.com.
What's wrong with the Isle of Man?
What?
What's wrong with the Isle of Man?
I have that as well,
the Isle of Man,
when I go over.
Thank fuck for that.
Yeah, I have to really work hard
to get that sold.
There's something,
maybe you didn't-
Villa Gatey.
Villa Gatey, yeah.
That's where I am.
Maybe you didn't fucking salute the fairies that sold. There's something, maybe you didn't. Villa Gatey. Villa Gatey, yeah. That's where I am. And it's a problem.
Maybe you didn't fucking salute the fairies
or something at some point.
There's about 812 people on the island though,
so you've made me factor that in.
Oh,
I need 38 people to come with me to the Isle of Man
and join the entire population at the show.
Thanks very much for listening as always.
Follow Jason,
follow us
and have a good life.
Bye for now.
