Starting point is 00:00:00 Adam we've got some exciting news about the sponsors we have but I've forgot what it is can you remind me it's manscaped.com they've levelled up and they're now our main podcast sponsor our official lead sponsor from now on manscaped.com use our promo code WORD20 to get their products this is now the have a word podcast brought to you
Starting point is 00:00:16 by manscaped.com they've been a long time supporter of us please go and support them and make sure they keep supporting us forever promo code WORD20 manscaped.com. 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.
Starting point is 00:00:35 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
Starting point is 00:01:10 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
Starting point is 00:01:33 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.
Starting point is 00:01:52 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
Starting point is 00:02:04 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,
Starting point is 00:02:20 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. Sign up at patreon.com slash haveawordpod. The link is in the description of this episode. That's me done.
Starting point is 00:02:36 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!
Starting point is 00:02:52 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.
Starting point is 00:03:12 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.
Starting point is 00:03:50 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
Starting point is 00:04:05 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
Starting point is 00:04:22 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?
Starting point is 00:04:47 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,
Starting point is 00:05:00 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
Starting point is 00:05:08 because the public vote thing is so unbelievably unfair if we're involved like I'm not the best club comedian in the country
Starting point is 00:05:18 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.
Starting point is 00:05:26 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,
Starting point is 00:05:44 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
Starting point is 00:06:05 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
Starting point is 00:06:54 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
Starting point is 00:07:13 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
Starting point is 00:07:21 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?
Starting point is 00:07:35 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.
Starting point is 00:07:46 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.
Starting point is 00:08:06 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.
Starting point is 00:08:21 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
Starting point is 00:08:31 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
Starting point is 00:08:39 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
Starting point is 00:08:47 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
Starting point is 00:09:03 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?
Starting point is 00:09:16 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.
Starting point is 00:09:45 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,
Starting point is 00:10:03 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,
Starting point is 00:10:16 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.
Starting point is 00:10:27 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?

Keeping Birkenhead at bay. With what? What? Uzis. That's how they get over. Keeping all the walls out? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:30 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.
Starting point is 00:20:42 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.
Starting point is 00:20:56 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.
Starting point is 00:21:13 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?
Starting point is 00:21:30 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?
Starting point is 00:21:45 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.
Starting point is 00:21:56 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.
Starting point is 00:22:07 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.
Starting point is 00:22:20 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.
Starting point is 00:22:38 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.
Starting point is 00:22:46 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
Starting point is 00:22:54 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
Starting point is 00:23:01 is it the plague yeah the plage don't say rat on there hey shout out the island man if you know what
Starting point is 00:23:10 the rat thing is can we pull it up do we know I think it's double T as well isn't it rat that's double A rat
Starting point is 00:23:17 it's also Welsh rat rat rat rat rat rat rat
Starting point is 00:23:20 rat rat rat rat rat rat rat rat

Starting point is 00:23:21 rat rat rat rat rat rat rat rat
Starting point is 00:23:21 rat rat rat rat rat rat rat rat
Starting point is 00:23:22 rat rat rat rat rat rat rat rat rat rat rat rat rat rat rat rat rat rat how do they have ratatouille then? long tail is a use if it isn't a rat
Starting point is 00:23:25 a relatively it's a superstition it's bad luck mentioning the word yeah so you can't you can't say it but it's just no they say long tail
Starting point is 00:23:32 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
Starting point is 00:23:41 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.
Starting point is 00:23:56 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.
Starting point is 00:24:07 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.

Carl, you're really contradicting your own argument and your hatred of musicals.
Starting point is 00:30:15 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.

Starting point is 00:33:17 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
Starting point is 00:33:31 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.
Starting point is 00:33:44 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
Starting point is 00:33:54 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
Starting point is 00:34:02 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
Starting point is 00:34:28 nothing unless you watched the period drama when you were young oh fucking yeah yeah I love fucking I love Emma
Starting point is 00:34:34 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
Starting point is 00:34:43 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

Starting point is 00:35:35 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
Starting point is 00:35:52 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

Starting point is 00:48:21 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
Starting point is 00:48:35 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.

Starting point is 01:17:19 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.
Starting point is 01:17:34 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.

Starting point is 01:18:55 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
Starting point is 01:19:06 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
Starting point is 01:19:18 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
Starting point is 01:19:30 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...
Starting point is 01:19:45 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,
Starting point is 01:20:01 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
Starting point is 01:20:26 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
Starting point is 01:20:33 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
Starting point is 01:20:39 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
Starting point is 01:20:44 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
Starting point is 01:20:50 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
Starting point is 01:21:02 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
Starting point is 01:21:07 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
Starting point is 01:21:15 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
Starting point is 01:21:21 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
Starting point is 01:21:28 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
Starting point is 01:21:36 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
Starting point is 01:21:43 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.
Starting point is 01:22:03 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
Starting point is 01:22:11 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
Starting point is 01:22:20 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.
Starting point is 01:22:31 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!
Starting point is 01:23:06 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,
Starting point is 01:23:21 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.
Starting point is 01:23:48 Yeah, that's good. This woman three times answered a question that she assumed I was asking. Oh God. Not to an audience
Starting point is 01:23:55 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,
Starting point is 01:24:03 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.
Starting point is 01:24:20 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
Starting point is 01:24:41 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
Starting point is 01:25:06 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
Starting point is 01:25:13 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
Starting point is 01:25:22 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
Starting point is 01:25:52 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.
Starting point is 01:26:26 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.
Starting point is 01:26:37 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,
Starting point is 01:26:46 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
Starting point is 01:26:59 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.
Starting point is 01:27:13 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.
Starting point is 01:27:22 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
Starting point is 01:27:30 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
Starting point is 01:27:36 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
Starting point is 01:27:58 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
Starting point is 01:28:35 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
Starting point is 01:29:07 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
Starting point is 01:29:12 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
Starting point is 01:29:19 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
Starting point is 01:29:24 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.
Starting point is 01:29:40 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
Starting point is 01:29:48 top tier 65,000 steps good lad yeah when you get there he's like I forgot do you have to slow it down
Starting point is 01:29:59 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
Starting point is 01:30:04 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
Starting point is 01:30:12 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
Starting point is 01:30:19 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
Starting point is 01:30:25 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
Starting point is 01:30:32 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
Starting point is 01:30:39 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,
Starting point is 01:30:48 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
Starting point is 01:31:00 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.
Starting point is 01:31:29 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,
Starting point is 01:31:45 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.
Starting point is 01:31:56 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
Starting point is 01:32:22 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,
Starting point is 01:32:44 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
Starting point is 01:32:52 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
Starting point is 01:32:59 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
Starting point is 01:33:11 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
Starting point is 01:33:30 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.
Starting point is 01:33:58 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,
Starting point is 01:34:17 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
Starting point is 01:34:57 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
Starting point is 01:35:36 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.
Starting point is 01:36:08 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.
Starting point is 01:36:20 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,
Starting point is 01:36:37 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.
Starting point is 01:36:56 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
Starting point is 01:37:29 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
Starting point is 01:37:50 it's too sad too sore hurts too much eating shumai where you saw legends oh yeah so yeah I was working there
Starting point is 01:37:59 and then hang on you got the job no so you got the job because you wanted to be a comedian no
Starting point is 01:38:04 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.
Starting point is 01:38:13 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,
Starting point is 01:38:22 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
Starting point is 01:38:33 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
Starting point is 01:38:41 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
Starting point is 01:38:47 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
Starting point is 01:38:57 so we're there and then sort of again it sounds so like the water boy or something but essentially one night
Starting point is 01:39:04 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
Starting point is 01:39:45 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
Starting point is 01:39:50 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
Starting point is 01:39:56 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
Starting point is 01:40:03 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
Starting point is 01:40:12 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
Starting point is 01:40:20 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
Starting point is 01:40:44 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.
Starting point is 01:41:02 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.
Starting point is 01:41:15 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?
Starting point is 01:41:23 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
Starting point is 01:41:33 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
Starting point is 01:41:41 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
Starting point is 01:41:50 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
Starting point is 01:41:57 dead cocky I was like I think I'm pretty good so I was like how long you been going dad 10 months so
Starting point is 01:42:03 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
Starting point is 01:42:11 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
Starting point is 01:42:21 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,
Starting point is 01:42:33 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?
Starting point is 01:42:47 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
Starting point is 01:43:02 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
Starting point is 01:43:16 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
Starting point is 01:43:32 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.
Starting point is 01:43:54 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.
Starting point is 01:44:08 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.
Starting point is 01:44:16 Pharmaceutical rep, which was based in this block of this building. Oh, weird. Small world. So yeah, so he was the open spot
Starting point is 01:44:23 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.
Starting point is 01:44:32 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
Starting point is 01:44:54 the massive Audi in it because Bish was like it's his story's almost unheard of I ended up
Starting point is 01:45:01 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
Starting point is 01:45:18 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
Starting point is 01:45:34 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
Starting point is 01:45:43 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.
Starting point is 01:45:55 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
Starting point is 01:46:05 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
Starting point is 01:46:17 which I thought I think was like former like Iranian ambassador or something like that it was one of these big old things
Starting point is 01:46:22 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
Starting point is 01:46:33 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
Starting point is 01:46:41 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.
Starting point is 01:46:51 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. Patreon.com. Have a word, pod. Papa want a lake. Sign up now lake money fucking lake fund take a pond which do you ever want that if you got super successful do you want like land on a few
Starting point is 01:47:16 chickens and a goat and that so i just want a fucking hot tub at the moment can we just do it in stages what's the goal well i haven't even paid off my wife's car I can't be like well have you bought a lake dickhead you've not paid off the fucking I don't know whether I want land or whether what but you don't

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.
Starting point is 01:49:14 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
Starting point is 01:49:30 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
Starting point is 01:50:06 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
Starting point is 01:50:14 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
Starting point is 01:50:23 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
Starting point is 01:50:32 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
Starting point is 01:50:38 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
Starting point is 01:50:43 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.
Starting point is 01:50:55 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
Starting point is 01:51:08 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
Starting point is 01:51:29 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
Starting point is 01:51:57 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.
Starting point is 01:52:10 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.
Starting point is 01:52:19 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?
Starting point is 01:52:30 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
Starting point is 01:52:42 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

Starting point is 01:53:33 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.
Starting point is 01:53:50 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.
Starting point is 01:54:02 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.
Starting point is 01:54:21 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.
Starting point is 01:55:05 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.

Starting point is 01:55:24 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.
Starting point is 01:55:35 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.

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.
Starting point is 01:56:02 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.
Starting point is 01:56:20 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.
Starting point is 01:56:49 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.

Starting point is 02:01:32 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.
Starting point is 02:01:49 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
Starting point is 02:02:05 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
Starting point is 02:02:11 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
Starting point is 02:02:21 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.
Starting point is 02:02:36 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?
Starting point is 02:02:50 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.
Starting point is 02:03:06 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.
Starting point is 02:03:22 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,
Starting point is 02:03:34 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,
Starting point is 02:03:42 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
Starting point is 02:04:08 impersonator Neil Diamante I thought you were going to say day of the week honestly it's true that's my uncle Brendan yeah
Starting point is 02:04:14 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
Starting point is 02:04:19 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.
Starting point is 02:04:27 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.
Starting point is 02:04:43 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
Starting point is 02:04:51 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
Starting point is 02:04:59 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
Starting point is 02:05:06 it is a different world no I got asked to do it and it was Bernard me and Elvis yeah the Elvis
Starting point is 02:05:14 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
Starting point is 02:05:22 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,
Starting point is 02:05:28 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,
Starting point is 02:05:38 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,
Starting point is 02:05:43 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
Starting point is 02:05:51 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
Starting point is 02:05:59 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,
Starting point is 02:06:07 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
Starting point is 02:06:15 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,
Starting point is 02:06:24 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
Starting point is 02:06:49 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
Starting point is 02:06:59 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
Starting point is 02:07:18 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
Starting point is 02:07:44 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.
Starting point is 02:08:06 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,
Starting point is 02:08:21 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.
Starting point is 02:08:35 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.
Starting point is 02:08:48 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.
Starting point is 02:08:57 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,
Starting point is 02:09:12 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
Starting point is 02:09:26 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
Starting point is 02:09:33 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
Starting point is 02:09:42 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,
Starting point is 02:09:47 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.
Starting point is 02:09:57 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,
Starting point is 02:10:05 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,
Starting point is 02:10:12 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
Starting point is 02:10:22 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
Starting point is 02:10:55 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,
Starting point is 02:11:11 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,
Starting point is 02:11:23 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
Starting point is 02:11:31 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
Starting point is 02:11:36 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
Starting point is 02:11:43 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
Starting point is 02:11:52 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
Starting point is 02:11:59 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
Starting point is 02:12:17 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.
Starting point is 02:12:37 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
Starting point is 02:13:19 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
Starting point is 02:14:05 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
Starting point is 02:14:13 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
Starting point is 02:14:21 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
Starting point is 02:14:28 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
Starting point is 02:14:36 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
Starting point is 02:14:41 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
Starting point is 02:14:48 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
Starting point is 02:14:54 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
Starting point is 02:15:02 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
Starting point is 02:15:08 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.
Starting point is 02:15:14 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.
Starting point is 02:15:22 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.
Starting point is 02:15:31 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.
Starting point is 02:15:40 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
Starting point is 02:16:02 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
Starting point is 02:16:27 and he goes he's like Dave Dave we were just having a minute silence for somebody who died last week fucking hell
Starting point is 02:16:37 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
Starting point is 02:17:05 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?
Starting point is 02:17:29 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.
Starting point is 02:17:37 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
Starting point is 02:17:45 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?
Starting point is 02:18:10 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?
Starting point is 02:18:20 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
Starting point is 02:18:27 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
Starting point is 02:18:34 what's this John guy oh John fucking John John is everywhere he sounds like a right John he can't
Starting point is 02:18:43 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.
Starting point is 02:18:54 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
Starting point is 02:19:07 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
Starting point is 02:19:15 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
Starting point is 02:19:23 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.
Starting point is 02:19:41 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
Starting point is 02:19:57 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
Starting point is 02:20:04 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.
Starting point is 02:20:17 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
Starting point is 02:20:34 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.
Starting point is 02:20:52 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.
Starting point is 02:21:02 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
Starting point is 02:21:46 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
Starting point is 02:21:55 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
Starting point is 02:22:01 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
Starting point is 02:22:10 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
Starting point is 02:22:19 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.
Starting point is 02:22:29 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,
Starting point is 02:22:42 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.
Starting point is 02:22:59 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
Starting point is 02:23:09 do it yourself yeah I think that's everybody yeah Scott Kirkwood says Jason you're not special Adam no no I just mean
Starting point is 02:23:18 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
Starting point is 02:23:35 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.
Starting point is 02:23:56 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
Starting point is 02:24:18 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.
Starting point is 02:24:44 If I started dating a girl, right, and she was like, oh, me entire family are Man United fans. About, like,
Starting point is 02:24:54 two weeks after we became officially together, like 10, 20 dates in, whatever you are, right? I'd be like, just so you know.
Starting point is 02:25:01 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.
Starting point is 02:25:15 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.
Starting point is 02:25:31 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
Starting point is 02:25:45 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
Starting point is 02:25:55 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.
Starting point is 02:26:05 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.
Starting point is 02:26:22 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.
Starting point is 02:26:39 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,
Starting point is 02:26:58 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?
Starting point is 02:27:28 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.
Starting point is 02:27:38 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.
Starting point is 02:27:55 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
Starting point is 02:28:14 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
Starting point is 02:28:30 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
Starting point is 02:28:39 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
Starting point is 02:28:53 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
Starting point is 02:29:10 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
Starting point is 02:29:19 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
Starting point is 02:29:38 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,
Starting point is 02:29:57 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.
Starting point is 02:30:13 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
Starting point is 02:30:33 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
Starting point is 02:31:07 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
Starting point is 02:31:13 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
Starting point is 02:31:19 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
Starting point is 02:31:31 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
Starting point is 02:31:40 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
Starting point is 02:31:47 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
Starting point is 02:31:51 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
Starting point is 02:31:58 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
Starting point is 02:32:05 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.
Starting point is 02:32:27 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.
Starting point is 02:32:41 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?
Starting point is 02:33:00 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.
Starting point is 02:33:20 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
Starting point is 02:33:44 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.
Starting point is 02:33:59 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
Starting point is 02:34:08 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
Starting point is 02:34:16 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
Starting point is 02:34:24 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
Starting point is 02:34:55 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
Starting point is 02:35:08 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
Starting point is 02:35:19 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.
Starting point is 02:35:25 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.
Starting point is 02:35:40 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...
Starting point is 02:35:55 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.
Starting point is 02:36:08 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
Starting point is 02:36:16 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
Starting point is 02:36:25 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
Starting point is 02:37:11 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
Starting point is 02:37:30 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
Starting point is 02:37:36 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
Starting point is 02:37:43 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.
Starting point is 02:38:13 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.
Starting point is 02:38:24 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.
Starting point is 02:38:44 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.
Starting point is 02:38:58 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.
Starting point is 02:39:10 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.
Starting point is 02:39:19 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
Starting point is 02:39:32 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?
Starting point is 02:39:58 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
Starting point is 02:40:26 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.
Starting point is 02:40:34 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
Starting point is 02:40:43 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
Starting point is 02:40:55 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
Starting point is 02:41:00 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.
Starting point is 02:41:25 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
Starting point is 02:41:42 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.
Starting point is 02:41:57 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
Starting point is 02:42:09 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
Starting point is 02:42:17 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
Starting point is 02:42:24 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
Starting point is 02:43:01 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.
Starting point is 02:43:20 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
