I'm sucking off a bejow
so manly
and indigenous
welcome to the podcast
we talk fucking bullshit
la la la la
should we allude to the fact that we've done this backwards
yeah it's very backwards
this is a backwards podcast
so usually we do it chronologically
normally we do this bit and then we bring the guest in
but we brought the guest in two days ago
and now we're doing this bit.
Because it was a big old guest.
Yeah.
Ramesh.
Ranganathan.
And he was superb.
That's coming up in sections three and four.
If you want a little bit of taste of these guys,
stick around.
So usually you can't say how good it was in this section.
Mad.
But you know how good it's going to be.
But to them it's mad, isn't it? That's how you sell tickets in Borneo, Carl. Like, you know how good it's going to be. But Joe to them, it's mad, isn't it?
That's how you sell tickets in Borneo, Carl.
Yeah?
You know the future.
And it's fire.
He was fucking great.
Romesh is quality.
I mean, he doesn't look like he's enjoying himself.
But we made him proper laugh a few times,
which is great.
Because from deadpan, couldn't give a shit,
to properly rolling over laughing
oh you got him so good at one point it was look forward to that no beds here you go yeah i am
good thank you i'm going to a wedding on friday is it yours i'm going to my wedding fuck off we
just realized we'd not got married you haven't invited us i thought i thought i was already
married because i remember the day but i was boozing a lot of the time so i just imagined a wedding day who's wedding is it
it's my friend katie's uh muzzletoff she's not jewish katie muzzletoff is it not mulganoo
what is it katie mulganoo no oh most katie muzzletoff your friend katie yes my friend katie
we're getting married they're getting married in North Wales.
Do you have confidence in their prospective manager?
What, her and Graham?
Yeah.
Is this a public episode?
Yeah.
Then yes.
Yes, I do.
Do you think they're going to last?
And many more.
Do you think they're going to last?
Is it Graham with a H?
I mean Yeah
I want to say
Yeah
Yeah
Do you think if Graham
Had to go overseas for work
She'd fuck several people
While he was away
He's in Q8
Q8?
Yeah
Can she wait?
Oh
Nice
There's a Q for her
Join the Q
Wait Tell you what There's a cue for her. Join the cue.
Wait.
Tell you what, if you miss any of the jokes,
we just let you know that they've happened.
You're like a little VAR on some of our banter.
Do you know, the truth is, I don't care if they last.
I just love a wedding.
Now, I don't mean to seem negative here,
but if all of my mates got married and divorced on a sort of three-year cycle,
as long as they weren't like,
I'm just so unhappy, midpoint,
I don't give a shit about that,
I'll be there for the weddings
because I'm a fun day drinker
and I'm looking forward to it.
I don't wish divorce and separation on anyone,
but if you're going to do it,
let's keep going back to the well
and let's have more parties.
If there was something you've seen in their relationship
that could lead to divorce.
Oh, you want this, don't you?
Oh, you really want this.
I feel like I'd got myself out of that nicely.
I don't mind if they divorce because I want more weddings.
Yeah, yeah, that's hearsay.
That's hearsay.
I want more weddings.
Yeah, yeah, that's hearsay. What problems have they got?
So yeah, it's going to be really good.
That's some of my friends who are on the naughty table on Friday.
What's it called?
One table, two naughty table, two naughty table.
Yeah, it's the naughty table.
I don't need to know.
Is it green with a H?
I think so.
Okay.
I don't know. I've never seen his name written down
you're gonna have to find out before it's pronounced differently it's pronounced differently
and you'll feel weird what before you write the card out yeah what do you mean you have to spell
it right you can't put to katie and graham slash graham i'll just let you know i'm going to this
wedding on my own laura's laura. Laura, we couldn't get a babysitter
because we've called in too many favours here and there.
I'll have to.
Also, Laura wants to come to June 25th.
She wants to come to see you at the Philharmonic.
That's exciting.
Adamro.co.uk.
I know, that's what I've fucking told her.
Standing down the sidelines.
You're not talent.
Yeah, so she's not coming, so it's just me.
So I, a 41-year-old, mainly straight man,
am going to a wedding.
Why would I be writing out a card?
Can I just say, by the way, polite,
occasion cards, birthday, Christmas, wedding,
can all fuck off.
Thank you, Carl.
Adam, do you honestly think I would go to a shop,
get a card, write it out, and give it to them?
What do you want them out?
Would you?
If you don't get me a card for my wedding,
I'm going to be really upset.
Oh, I'd get the next one three years later.
It'd be fine.
What do you want a card for your stag to as well,
you massive, vaginal lady?
I want an acknowledgement.
No, they're a burden.
They are a burden.
Cards.
Oh, I have to take this home now
and then put it up for a week.
To the environment and your windowsill.
No, you get cardboard ones,
I'm getting plastic cards that don't biodegrade.
They're plastics.
They're called cards for a reason.
Here's a fucking credit.
That's yours.
No, you wouldn't.
You're just winding me up. You wouldn't. I really appreciate a card. I like a lovely message. That's yours. No, you wouldn't. You're just winding me up.
You wouldn't.
I really appreciate a card.
I like a lovely message.
Oh, no.
Fuck off.
I like a lovely message in it.
Oh, he wrote a lovely message in it.
Did you read it?
No, no, no.
I don't want you to write a lovely message.
I want you to find one that has got a lovely message printed in it.
And none of this moon pig shite.
I want you to go looking through Hallmark.
Right.
And then when you get these cards,
do you open them?
Yeah.
Do you?
Yeah.
Come on.
Yeah.
Which birthday last have you got unopened cards?
Like you're washing in a pile and then like cards from your 23rd birthday.
I've got every birthday card I've ever had.
Where is it?
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
I'm going to break another.
No, you don't.
You big fucking liar.
That's not true.
I've got every birthday card I've ever been given.
Have you got a memory box?
Yeah.
I'm done.
I'm out.
That's me.
Done with the card.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Fuck off.
No, you hadn't.
You hadn't.
I've got every birthday card I've ever been given.
Have you got the one I wrote you that time?
The horrible one?
I will have.
They just get added.
I've got an enormous cardboard box.
It's been with me to every house I've ever been to.
I can't verify this.
I love it.
I love it.
I've lied before, but on this one.
Hey, I do not lie about birthday card mementos.
What was the horrible one?
I just wrote.
It was a poem.
There's a picture of it.
I'll slide it in.
I promise I'll remember as well.
Do you keep sliding?
If I forgot to slide it in, I won't know because it's the future.
Just get fucked.
Don't comment it because I don't care, but I will slide it in. Actually, on minute 10,'s the future. Just get fucked. Don't comment it because I don't care but I will slide it in.
Actually,
on minute 10,
a card that's very
unprofessional
and this is why
I'm not a patron.
I just wrote horrible
things in the card.
It was in poem form though.
Right.
I mean,
that's how I genuinely
think.
Is that the one
and only card
you've ever given him?
I'd say so.
Why would I bear
a number that
someone has to put
in the bin? He loves them. He loves them. He bear them? It's something he has to put in the bin.
He loves them.
He loves them.
He gets them out at night.
He puts them out in order.
He's like,
I'm going to do 20 on it,
20, 20, 20.
I have noticed you don't do birthday cards
and to be honest with you,
it upsets me every year.
When have you ever given me
a fucking birthday card?
You don't like them.
You didn't know that until now?
Yes, I did.
You've told me before.
You've just said you've only just noticed?
What?
You've just said you've only just noticed?
You've just noticed what?
That you don't like birthday cards?
I haven't.
Oh, you've noticed before? Yeah've only just noticed what? That I don't like birthday cards I haven't Oh you've noticed before
Yeah
I like getting them
Solid
Just to say
You're taking a very moral stance here
I haven't got my Christmas present
It's June
Yeah
Yeah
It's June
It's June

Comment below if you know what yours was.
Hit the subscribe button as well on the bell.
Oh, wow.
I thought that was common knowledge for most people.
Interesting.
No.
Genuinely, I don't. It's probably like mummy or daddy or i got i got two parents one's one that would probably have told me that in adult life died when i was 16 and the other one
i don't think he gives a fuck i don't think he gave a shit at the time i mean i might be wrong
but if you're watching dad i bet you can't remember mad but sad though it is yeah yeah yeah thank you thank you

Oh, my God.
My son's first word will be like,
are you having a heart attack, mate?
All right, Jack, I'm your uncle.
Ah!
Ah!
Um.
It wouldn't kill me.
That wouldn't be a lethal dose, would it?
You, yes.
Just make me really productive
And awake
That's not how drugs work
Is it?
The more you take
They're like
Alright well I want to be high
So I could do one drugs
Maybe I could do
Four drugs
And
I don't know if maths works
With drugs
But
I should be four times as high
Yeah
I can't see any consequences
Long term
In a negative way
That is true though
Isn't it Charlie? If you do four drugs you're four times higher yeah yeah but there's a there's a
tipping point like four garys four garys yeah it's a fucking it's a wedding depressing gangbang um
yeah i don't know i don't i don't know what the I don't know
I don't know what the
I don't know what
it depends on how strong
your ecstasy is
but yeah
I think modafinil
yeah
I think four
could do you
I think you could have a
heart
a little heart attack
three
I'll have three
alright

so you're taking three modafinil
yeah
and then coming around mine
to look after my kids.
Etta's met you,

And it makes me think,
you need to fuck off out of this house
and start pedophile hunting.
Earn a crust.

like,
from the downstairs bathroom,
went,
guys,
can you hear that?
Just because she could tell
we were in the kitchen
and she was in the downstairs.
She just got FOMO while she was shitting.
Guys, can you hear that?
We were like, what are you doing?
I'm having a poo.
Brilliant.
Thanks, mate.
Shut the door and flush the fucking toilet.
That's all your.
There she calls us, guys.
She's like, guys.
That's so funny.
Yeah.
They just do whatever you do, innit?
They copy whatever turn of phrase you've...
Oh, pimps then?
Is that what you use it, yeah?
That's what my kid would say.
Pimps.
Pimps.
I'm having a poo.
Looking forward to it.
I'll book you in.
Yeah.
I'm game.
I reckon I'll be fine.
Every three years?
What?
Every three years?
What?
Looking forward to it.
Do you mean every three years? The? Every three years? What? Looking forward to it. The next wedding?
The next wedding.
Oh.
You'll have another wedding to go to before that.
Fucking love it.
Looking forward to it.
And Adam can look after the kids.
Nothing's happening there though, is it?
Got a venue booked for December just in case.
It's like Liverpool in a Champions League.
Already booked a hotel in Turkey for 2023.
Already bought a hotel in Turkey for 2023. Already bought a hotel
reception suite.
Dan was telling me
how proud he is of me
that I've
not dived into
a new relationship.
Yeah, I thought
he'd be straight in.
I think he would be
if he wasn't the busiest
person in the city.
Excuse me.
Just give me my credits
and don't put caveats in.
Hang on.
That's not true though, is it?
It could still be.
No, it's true.
It's absolutely true.
And he knows it is
because he's not arguing.
No, I'm letting you finish.
So that I can refuse your emotions.
Oh, polite.
He hasn't got time for a lady.
I think you thought
I was going to be a serial monogamer.
Oh, that's what I think. What do you think of you? What a monogamist. One lady. But you thought I was going to be a serial monogamist. Oh,
that's what I think when I think of you.
What a monogamist.
One lady.
But I thought he was.
I thought he got
institutionally addicted
to relationship
and having someone
that's like,
I feel like I'll go over.
Oh,
do you,
babe?
Oh,
you've got fucking
quavers just on your tits.
Oh,
wow.
Come and put it
in my vagina
where it's nice and warm
and I will cuddle
and make you feel better
as you fall asleep.
You know,
like women do. I do miss that. I know, it's nice and warm and I will cuddle and make you feel better as you fall asleep. You know, like women do.
I do miss that.
I know,
it's nice,
isn't it?
Miss the cuddles.
Yeah.
But I thought that would be enough
to tip you into that,
no,
it's nice.
And I just,
I worried,
I worried that
some incredibly attractive
lady
was just going to be like,
these are great,
aren't they?
Like these boobs?
And that's a nice bum, isn't it?
These can be yours.
Signed on the dotted line.
That's how easy men are.
If you go, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go.
Yeah.
That's pretty depressing, isn't it?
Apart from, he's not that simple.
And it's good.
Much deeper.
I am deeper.
Than boobs.
I think there's a common misconception, right,
that I'm a shallow arsehole.
And actually, I'm a very romantic. Deep arsehole a shallow arsehole and actually i'm a very
romantic deep arsehole deep arsehole oh no you don't you don't i've said that for a long time
um i think i'm a very complex human being with very many well if the young lady that i met in
february or march was anything to go by,
who I believe you'd spent
a little short amount of time with,
was anything to go by,
I think if you were truly shallow,
yeah, that'd already be happening.
I thought you were going to say something else then.
You'd have fucked it right off.
I think if you were shallow,
you'd be like, yeah, this is great.
This will do, yeah.
You've obviously not done that,
and I'm impressed
I'm impressed
it's exciting
it's exciting
doing a podcast with you
and just watching you
because it's all very like
there's just
there's breakups
there's things
I feel like
there's been way more
consistency and boredom
with me
yeah
and I just thought
we'd already be in some
I thought you'd be getting
annoyed with her already.
You're a recovering drug addict.
It's not boring.
Yeah.
It is.
No, but I mean...
No, but it is, but it's very nature.
It's boring.
Oh, right.
You know, she's good.
She's good.
The boredom is healthy.
The boredom's good.
I don't want my son's first word to be,
Baghead!
Lemo
Dad
Dad
If that's his first word
Dad
You say your first word, yeah
Fucking lay off the beat
With a tone of disappointment
You know you're fucking up as a dad
Dad
First word
He knows what disappointment is already.
Fucking hell.
Hell of an inflection.
So congrats, man.
What are you doing about it now, though?
Because we need content for this podcast.
Change it up, man.
You're having more of a breakdown.
Come on.
Tour's coming to an end.
Let's start sticking little Vinnie Rowe
in little nasty places
and then talking about it on here.
Put it on a card, put it in the memory box.
Thank you for letting me spaff on your boobs.
There's a card, you keep that, put it in your memory box.
I just in your memory box, you can go in mine.
Come on.
I want to hear things happening.
I think after the tour, I'll probably do some serious dating.
Serious dating?
Some serious dating.
Turn up with glasses like Clark Kent suit briefcase.
Sit down.
Let's see your credit.
Let's see your credit score.
Are you fertile?
What do you like to do if it's a serious date?
So we go out.
So you're wiring down and Dan's first date.
You're wiring and Dan.
What are you doing today?
Have we met on Bumble?
She sounded great, by the way.
Oh, yeah.
Some girl messaged me last night and said,
so, match that on Bumble.
Which I haven't been on for ages.
I haven't been on the apps for a while.
And Bumble's the one where the lady's got to start the interaction.
She's just got to send a flange pic.
That's the rule, isn't it?
Fanny pic.
Pow.
Got back to me flat last night from london and was
just bored and i was like i haven't been on these for a while wonder what the crack is right and
it's nearly time for some serious dating as well let's get the ball rolling yeah i'd had a message
from that girl saying uh and bumble as you say they have to start the conversation the girls
um which is great that's actually better for men than it is for women.
People don't realise that.
Because the biggest pressure when you're doing any of the online dating apps
is the first message.
Because it's so easy to be dead born and be like,
hi, how are you?
And they're like, yeah, I'm good.
How are you?
Yeah, I'm good too.
What have you been up to?
That conversation is all the time.
So it takes, I don't have to be funny or creative.
The other person has to do it.
Do you know what I mean?
Nice.
And she said something like,
just a disclaimer before we start,
massive fan of the pod,
and I'm wondering whether you can get me Dan's number.
You fucking rat.
That's a good line though.
Oh, great line.
Funny line.
Great line.
07-389-277.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
499. Whoa. That could be someone's number. I hope it is. 389 276 bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep 498

in Liverpool
this week.
Tuesday the 7th of June.
I've got about
20 odd tickets left.
It'll be the last
new material night.
I'll be running at phase one
probably till the end
of the year when I'll have recorded a special dumped all the material, I'll be running at phase one, probably till the end of the year,
when I'll have recorded a special, dumped all the material,
and we'll be like, who's drinking?
So if you fancy it, the link is in the description.
I'm also doing a preview at the Northenden Players Theatre.
So if you're in South Manchester and you didn't get tickets
to the Frog and Bucket Tour shows and you want to see me preview it,
the 16th, Thursday the 16th of June,
I'm in Northenden, South Manchester.
It's near Wyvernshire.
It's going to be a really intimate little show.
I might run a couple of new material gigs,
July and August,
when I've been told my stuff.
I mean, you could literally turn new bits into,
from Dan Nightingale's new bits to to Adam Rowe's New Bits.
Because Phase One is, as you've seen,
you popped down, didn't you, and you've done Dean's gig.
It's so perfect.
Like, everyone that's come down to Phase One to watch that
has gone, what a lovely place to watch comedy.
It's on Seal Street.
It's got a lovely outside area and smoking area.
The staff are sound.
The stage is nice.
So I don't want to run it
because I'm now in preview mode
and I'm going to be in tour mode.
But how minute would that be
if we just handed off?
Yeah, I might do that.
To be honest with you,
I'm really, really, really looking forward
to the creative stage.
I'm not bored of my show,
but the best bit of putting a show together
to go on tour with
is those gigs for me.
I really love figuring it out.
Yeah, well, it's been doing it at phase one.
We've done about four there.
So thanks to everyone that's come down.
I suppose people think, oh, it's just going to be there.
It's not.
It's not a definite thing.
I'm not running it to make money.
I was running it to give like lids in Liverpool and me a really great comedy
night.
We've had Vittorio down,
we've had Brennan down.
I don't know.
Like if you then went and did it as well,
it'd be great.
Like I love the atmosphere of a midweek cheaper ticket.
Like a lot of these work in progress shows and preview shows are cheaper
tickets.
And it's so nice.
Cause everyone's like, yeah, cool.
You've given us a deal.
It changes the atmosphere and you get to take a risk here and there,
don't you?
It's fucking great.
Yes.
Are you literally recording and dumping?
Yeah.
It's exciting.
And I've got-
You've got some ideas, haven't you?
I've got some ideas, but I've got, at the end of July,
the 27th, 28th and 29th of July, I think it is, I've got some ideas, but I've got, at the end of July, the 27th,
28th and 29th of July,
I think it is,
I've got a weekend
at the London store
and I'm intending
by that Thursday
to have a new 20
ready to do
at the London store
that isn't in the special.
Right.
When are you going
to do that?
Like,
in July,
once I've had my holiday.
A month to get another 20,
though?
Yeah.
I mean,
I'm not doubting you
Also if it gets to it
It's not insane
I can dip
If you've got 12 minutes of new fire
And you need to dip for 8 minutes of old
Like it's
Still got a job to do

There'll also be people
that just listen to the pod

yeah, we listen to the pod
and really watch loads of live comedy.
It's fucking great to do a podcast
where you just try and make people laugh
and then you put on shows
and like these previews,
I haven't really publicized them loads. Mentioned them on here a couple of times birkenhead i'm doing tonight

you guys we're doing what we love do you want to come and see it? And then you
lot go, yeah.
It feels really fucking good.
Some questions. Kieran says,
alright lids, when leaving Morrison's yesterday
flex, I saw
an old lady
I saw an old lady
someone's doing all right
saw an old lady open her shopping up
and break some cheese off a full
block and just eat it in the street without a care in the world surely behavior like this should be
illegal so my question to you is what other food should be illegal to eat in public keep up the
great work kieran so for this kieran instead of doing oh what's what's rude on trains or whatever
what food makes you look like a fucking animal
if you walk out of the exit of somewhere like a Morrison's,
delve into a bag, pull it out, and have a fucking munch?
Anything that is offensively smelly, right?
Eggs.
I love an egg butty.
Don't have an egg butty on a train while you're facing me.
Tuna.
Don't do that.
This woman just wants to nibble on some cheese
And Kieran
Do you know what
Fuck off
Yeah Kieran
You little shit man
I think Kieran
I don't know
I don't know if you've got a bit of a cheese
Thing
What's the difference
Between us and eating a cheese thing
Yeah
Well
One
Makes you look
Like you've got like
You know
Trauma
Don't it
If you're a grown woman
And you go out on the street
and get a cheese string out, no child in.
I eat cheese strings regularly from a service station.
From a Morrison's.
What day is it? Wednesday afternoon.
I often get a cheese string and a pepperoni
if I stop at a welcome break.
But I feel like the travel, can I just say,
I feel like this is why I tried to make it specific
to the main supermarket Morrison's. On your travels i think you needs must i'm talking about walking out of
a morrison's you can reach in there are certain things that make you look insane lasagna a block
of cheese by the way i don't mind that if you look yeah a full lasagna or just you've mentioned egg
just an egg yeah crack it into your mouth.
Like Rocky training.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just going for a run.
Just to find the car.
Do whatever you want.
Why are you not?
You can't just do that. I reckon like a full.
You can't do that forever.
I reckon like a full.
Stop emailing.
Just in fact, stop podcasting.
Stupid.
Live your life.
Like a full tub of like Onken yogurt.
You know, like the big vanilla yogurt.
If someone just got one and drunk it.
Wow.
That I might go.
Get a yak hold.

I'd make her job a lot easier
when she's fucking
sucking me off wouldn't I
she'd get a little
gravy surprise
thanks Kieran
thanks for the question
what was the question
something about cheese
Trevor says
if you had to have a world leader
past or present
shadow you for seven days
non-stop
with you all the time
sleepovers
at dinner
taking them to gigs
in the room
for podcast recordings
constant supervision
who are you going for
and why?
Mussolini
Mussolini?
Benito Mussolini
you know the weird thing is
that's my answer as well why are you picking Mussolini? why are you picking Mussolini? he Mussolini You know the weird thing is That's my answer as well
Why are you picking Mussolini?
Why are you picking Mussolini?
He's got the funniest name
Sounds like something Dan's not eating
You having a Mussolini?
I know I don't like seafood
What even if it's
Benito good
Benito Carboni
What
I go Abraham Lincoln
1809 to 1865
that was his lifespan
wow Carl
I was suspicious
that you already had that up
was that yours
would you go Abe
no I know all about Abe
honest Abe
I'm an Abe man
no I'd go
Julius Caesar
he was obviously 10
100
so 44 BCE
whatever that means
10 100
8000 years in the future
10 100
what was BCE
before
BCE
before Christ existed
so you're going for Julius Caesar
and you can't speak Latin
or whatever they speak
he has to speak what I speak
he's shadowing me
that cunt no I think you're just pulling the world leader out so Benito Mussolini is what like an early speak latin or whatever they speak he has to speak what i speak he's shadowing me that comes no i
think you're just pulling the world leader out so benito mussolini is what like an early 20th
century fascist italian if i went boxing that day would that mean they were shadow boxing
yes let me just check what trevor says yeah he was the prime minister of Italy from 1922
to 1945
until his deposition
in 19
no 43
oh is it 43
yeah
you're always getting that mixed up
I know
he got hung up
with his wife
by his feet
and then the
Joe what his wife was called
John
Raquel
Raquel Mussolini
absolutely it was
okay for some time for some reason I remember their death
They got hung by the feet
And then the locals spat at them
In either Milan or Turin
She was 89, that's quite old
Fuck off
What's the point of assassinating someone who's 89?
Just wait
Just ignore them
Just stop answering the phone
Hello, it's Raquel Mussolini Was everyone ignoring me? just ignore them just wait just stop answering the phone hello
it's a
Raquel Mussolini
why's everyone
ignoring me
I'm the first lady
of fascist Italy
doesn't say we died
I can't find it
quick enough
but eh
they got shot
yeah
died
that bad
by the revolutionaries
who were like
this war's dog shit
we shouldn't be
siding with Hitler
let's swap sides
and kill you
and that's what they did.
Mussolini.
I go Abe Lincoln.
I think he'd be good in the back of a podcast recording studio.
I think it'd be great to take him to Birkenhead twice.
Oh, there's pictures of his death.
He was hung up and shot.
That's gone in my head as a young lad when I was studying history.
There's something about being...
I love it how the missus goes as well.
Yeah, it looks rough.
Can you just ignore me?
It does look rough.
Being shot and then hung up by feet.
I think it was the other way around.
I think they hung him by his feet
and just left him to suffer for a bit.
And then shot.
Yeah.
I go, you're going Julie Caesar?
Yeah.
Steve, you're back.
Who are you going for?
Angela Merkel? Merkel what because you
want to fuck her
you're dirty boy
oh yes
you love an
international lady
German
not that little
she is 68
she's a big lady
it might be funny
to get Hitler
that might be funny
yeah
because he's not
allowed to like
preach is he
and I imagine
because he's just shadowing Adolf keep he and I imagine because he's just shadowing
Adolf
keep it down
we're recording
he'd just be like
because we could sit here
just talking about
like how fucking stupid he was
and how much of a cunt he was
and he's just got to sit there
and listen to it
yeah
because he's just shadowing us
yeah
you know
the security
at the Heath
in Runcorn
when their eyes raised
when Jason Manford was here
I think they're going to look
pretty freaked out
when Adolf Hitler
walks through the
security gate
you've got to
sign him in
right it's
A Hitler
how good have you
got to be to have
an adjective in your
name
I'd actually say
it's The Hitler
oh what you mean
like Alexander the
Great
yeah like Adam
the
lad

maybe the best joke
we've ever done
I know
it's easy to say that
when we didn't hear it

probably the top
one jokes

I'd become one of, I'd become a,
oh my God, I've got the money.
I could do it.
You know, like the boy racers
who soup up loads of cars and they can't afford it and they have to put all the money. I could do it. You know like the boy racers who soup up loads of cars
and they can't afford it
and they have to put all the money into it.
I've got money now.
I could be a 40 year old
pedophile
boy racer
that hangs around on a Mackie's car park
near Wrexham.
Yes.
I'm coming.
I don't need to drink.
Do you know genuinely
you could pull that vibe off.
What do you mean?
Like, if you got like a fucking
speaker system in your boot,
spinning rims and lasers
and a microwave, right?
This is a proper exhibit job, yeah?
Yeah.
You would suit that.
I'll take the compliment, thank you.
Have a full oven for making roasts.
Would you rather give up alcohol or not alcohol?
What, constantly drinking alcohol?
Yeah.
Or never drinking alcohol?
Yeah.
I'd rather never drink alcohol.
Really, yeah?
Yeah.
You'd rather drink it all the time.
It's just the only thing you can drink.
You should have gone for the fucking driving, shouldn't you?
Here I am in my, would you rather, driving around in a lovely car converted to islam
don't need a beverage the cars coming into where you're going down it's friday i think you know
where i'm going temple the mosque temple the mosque forgot what they were i forgot what the
holy building was called the temple to. Just shout at some Jews.
They're the synagogue.
Wow, I've had a fucking nightmare.
Do Jewish people call... They do, they call it temple.
Yes, got out of that one.
Do they?
I think they call it the gaff these days.
They call it the gaff.
Come on the gaff on Sunday.
Scouse.
Is there a big Jewish population in Liverpool?
Yeah.
They're all fat as fuck.
Huge.
Six foot.
Only three of them.
Oh, hang on.
I've never seen an Orthodox Jew in Liverpool.
That is the name of an album.
I've never seen an Orthodox Jew in Liverpool.
Seen a few on me travels But none by us
The Jewish place of worship is the synagogue
But they call it temple
Yes, so synagogue also called a shul
Maybe shul, sorry
Or temple
There's plenty of Muslims and Sikhs
And there's Christians for weeks
But there's no Jews
Christians for weeks? But there's no Jews.
Christians for weeks?
Not even days?
Nah, well, fucking loads of Christians.
But I've never seen another Jew in Liverpool.
I'm sure there's some people of the Jewish faith, but I've never seen the ones that wear the hats.
They've got the curls.
And this is specifically
about Liverpool
because North Manchester
and North London
is probably a different story.
Maybe we should have
a convention.
Invite them over.
A Jewish convention?
Not just
a Jewish convention. just a Jewish convention
why don't we
put on
a Hasidic Jew
the world's first
multi-denominational
religion festival
with have a word
and we just invite people
of all different religions
and then we do a live
version of our podcast
but every guest
is from a different faith
if you
have not been shot
by the end of that
podcast
that would be
incredible going
there are a couple of religious
festivals mainly in asia yeah say we could bring that to the if you say borneo right now i will
for the absolute perfect symmetry uh the other one in rajasthan rajasthan in india in india

fucking people coming over
from fucking Rajasthan

Better make them good.

Because of that shite.
Do you reckon there's a Venetian blind shop
in Venice that sells walking sticks and guide dogs?
Top one or two?
Top two.
I mean, it's got to be top two.
One.
Wouldn't it just be called blinds as well? Sat on that. I love it. I mean it's gotta be top two one wouldn't it just be called
blinds as well
sat on that
I love it

I'll have to put out more
sorry mate
I was sold out
are you from Venice

from Dublin mate
you do buy guide dogs
don't you
I think you gifted them
but who
who's fond of them
the blind
the association
the IPL
the Rajasthan Royals The Blind Association. The IPL.
The Rajasthan Royals.
You don't buy a guide dog.
Oh, I fucking know one, mate.
Someone will know a fucking guy in Liverpool, mate.
And you must have to at some point,
because humans outlive dogs,
I don't know whether you know,
you must have to upgrade your guide dog at some point.
Yeah, you have to go into the... What if your guard dog went blind?
You have to get in one.
It's a chain of dogs leading one fella at the back.
Blind leading the blind.
And the Chinese whispers there,
that could happen when he whispers to his dog,
I want to go to Butcher's.
And by the time it's got to the fella,
right at the front,
he's like, right, the footy match, we're off. Yeah. I want to go to Butcherers and by the time it's got to the fella right at the front right the footy match
we're off
yeah
I want to go to the Butchers
the next one
woof
you're a dog
god I'm blind
and stupid
Brett Lee
he was fast mate
he was fast
you can go McGraw

okay mate
let's have break

very authentic
Dublin
Turkish accent mate
this is
man of Turkish heritage mate
who work in Dublin
mate
and Finn
who is from
Turkish heritage
living real mate
says this very
accurately mate
it's weirdly good
I need to
stop talking
for a bit
do you reckon
a blind person's
ever lost
a guide dog
and it's been
replaced
and not noticed
or was it just
like a cat
nobody noticed that but it's been replaced and he's not noticed. What, was he just like a cat?
No, he'd noticed that.
But it's just a new dog.
I wonder who picked dogs as well.
Do you know what I mean?
What should it be?
There's plenty of other options.
Especially when they get really old and maybe the dog's too fast
for the blind fella.
Get him a guide turtle.
That's exactly what my head was going.
Imagine a guide horse.
If you're really fast but blind
get on the back
yep
yep
40 seconds too long
imagine

Here we are in a cupboard in Runcorn with today's guest,
Ramesh Rangarath.
How cupboard-y does it feel, Ramesh?
You came in, I mean, you are genuinely quite cool anyway, but you didn't do the, you know.
Well, I found, I think this is good good i think it's good that you've done
this nice like it's sort of as i expected it to be really all right cool i'm saying on the field
it's good you've done a good thing don't do yourselves down i do think the building's
fucking weird i think i think it as a facility is weird i think you're the only room that's not
working on vaccines in this whole building. Yeah.
It's like,
but I think,
look, man,
you fucking,
this is great.
This is wicked.
You've set up a thing
and like,
yeah, it's good.
I think you've got used to it.
I think that's a problem
because like,
this is an amazing thing
you've got set up here.
We appreciate that.
At the minute,
we hate it.
Really?
Why?
We used to comment like,
this is cool.
Yeah.
It's cool. For six months and then it this is cool yeah it's cool
for the six months
and then it just
I think you guys
I think you've
I think you've lost perspective
I mean I
before we started recording
Dan's complaining about
the range of fizzy drinks
in the fridge or whatever
do you know what I mean
so I feel like
you know
you've drunk the Kool-Aid
on this a bit
wow
that's my
that's my real diva moment
why is there no cherry 7-up
chilled come on Finn I shout at him anyway oh that's nice that's good yeah That's my real diva moment. Why is there no cherry seven up? Chilled.
Come on, Finn.
I shout at him anyway.
Oh, that's nice.
That's good.
Yeah, no, it's good, man.
You know that now that he complained about the way you've stocked the fridge?
Yeah.
Did you then go and change the stock of the fridge?
I did not.
It's not really, is it?
I mean, we've got a business manager.
We miss you, Steve.
Finn, you're responsible
for the fridge apparently so i did it i did it when we were last in right the fridge was
disgusting yeah i cleaned it right and then i filled it and that was and is that something
you're supposed to do or something you did off your own back sort of uh dan went do you want
to give me a hand with the studio i can't really say no so i did it right yeah it's not it wasn't
on the job description no but you just started doing you stepped up and yeah yeah i mean you know people were grateful at first and then
you carried on doing it and then people started expecting you to do it and now you're getting
bollocked for not doing it properly that's how life works don't step up and do anything i mean
that would be my advice to you i think he's been pretty good at that so far since he's worked here
i just all i'm saying saying is, if you see me
bringing loads of Diet Cokes,
loads of different flavours,
just think maybe
when I'm stocking this fridge
I'll mix it up.
Oh,
don't you fucking self.
Wow.
You're going to let him
speak to you like that?
You fucking little rat.
You're on his boss.
Sorry.
No,
he's not my boss at all.
You are not my boss.
Yeah,
because we gave you
20% of the company.
Can we do this
when Romesh Ranganathan's not here?
No, I like this.
I like this.
You're fucking very welcome.
More fucking contrast in the fridge, Finn.
I love you.
And Romesh, don't side with him.
No, I'm not.
I just, you know, I'm always on the side of the workers, really.
That's how you sell tickets, lads.
Playing the fucking Empire.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm a man of the people
Fucking rise up
But like
Genuinely
I'm not saying it for effect
Or like to blow smoke
Up your arse
It's wicked
Cheers man
But I get why you get pissed
Because you take things for granted
You can't help it
I'm not criticising you
It's like this
I saw
I remember being really
Genuinely
Being really impressed
When you did like
A time lapse video
Setting it all up Yeah yeah It was wicked And like you know it's like i don't know you're just doing it's
just wicked that you've got a studio to do your fucking podcast it felt fucking risky we got
basically income support can i level with you when i saw you do i was like wow these guys are going
in big do you know because the truth is at that point, I mean, I don't know how much of an idea you had,
but nobody had any idea how well you were going to go on to do.
Do you know what I mean?
So, like, you're putting the money in
and you're doing this thing.
This could have been,
this could have been something where you're having
to sell off these panels in a few months.
Do you know what I mean?
We could have been the attack on the wall,
people off ourselves.
I had to have that conversation with Laura.
She was like, right, so just to check,
we're coming out of the pandemic
where you lost all your work.
The government gave us some money
and you're putting a lot of that into the studio
that you've dreamed up with Adam on the phone.
Yeah.
Even though you've not seen him for two months
because you've been doing Zoom pods.
I was like, I know, babe.
And guess what?
It's in Runkle.
That's when your other half's faith is really tested isn't it
because like when they go i believe in you that that's okay when there's no outlay but as soon
as you go i want to spend a shitload of money on doing this that's when you really find out if they
believe in you or not yeah i believe in you is a very nice thing to say i believe in you if it's
free yeah i believe in you when the mortgage money i don't believe in you when you're rolling
the dice on our fucking bills
do you know what I mean
that's different
but like
but yeah
but anyway
I don't want to go on
and on about it
but I think it's a cool thing
you've done
and like
I got picked up
like
do you know what I mean
I've done
I've done a few podcasts
this is like
this is nice treatment man
you get picked up
if only we had a chilled
diet coke for you
yeah
what can you do
you can't have everything
I've just put one in the fridge for you.
So why do you hate it?
No, we know.
We've just outgrown it a bit.
It's felt more and more cramped in here.
Because I'm getting fatter.
Almost everything in here was sent in by listeners.
We've both put weight on.
So it's a lot more clutter.
When we got it, it was just me and Dan and the guest.
Then we added Carl in.
Then we added Finn in.
Steve, who's not here today.
There's...
It can be a bit...
Cramped.
We need a bit more space.
Yeah, I get you.
I did, like...
Because I went out a few years ago,
I did this show in the States, like a series,
and to promote it, I did loads of podcasts.
In America, like, so far ahead about what they...
You know, then, like, in the UK,
podcasts were such a little thing,
and I went to, like, do Adam Carolla's podcast, and I went to, like... It was like a TV studio. Do you know what I mean in the UK, podcasts were such a little thing. And I went to like do Adam Carolla's podcast.
And I went to like,
it was like a TV studio.
Do you know what I mean?
It was mad.
And like,
there was like runners everywhere.
Do you know what I mean?
And like,
they,
you know,
it was like,
it was like doing a TV show.
And,
um,
it was,
yeah.
And,
and sort of,
they were just,
they were just,
they're just so far ahead of the game.
Do you know what I mean?
And then you come back to the UK and then like somebody is,
can you do a podcast?
I mean,
you sort of meet someone in a park. Do you know what I mean and then you come back to the UK and then like somebody goes can you do a podcast and then you sort of
meet someone in a park
do you know what I mean
they've got like
a little zoom recorder
I've done the park podcast
always disconcerting
when they're like
oh shit
have you got any batteries
do you know
I'm just going to
back it up on my phone
do you know
I once turned up
to Dan's
to record a podcast
with him
this is before
we started this
I was
going to do a podcast for a while called is before we started this. I was going to do a podcast
for a while called Top Five.
It was going to be comedians
talking about their top five comics.
That was the idea.
And I turned up to his
and I was like,
I haven't brought the recorder.
That's right.
You drove to mine.
She just got some lunch
and you're like
yeah yeah
it's a good episode that
I think it was then
that we were like
this week should work together
if we could just remember
to bring some of the
very fundamentals
of this game
we're gonna smash
the flaps out of this
American podcasts
are like
we've built
we've turned a warehouse
into a studio
British podcasting like
oh shit
where's the on
button yeah yeah man it's uh yeah it's mad yeah it's so incredible what's happening
it's sort of like i always i always have thought like stand-up comedy as a job is such a arrogant
thing to to want to do do you mean like i'm gonna say what i think and i i'd like you to pay me for that you
know and and then to i feel like podcasts are like the step beyond that we're like lisa like
because i do the one with tom davis like we just like like you guys we just chat and like lisa my
wife's just like you really you really want to put that you think that's good enough you two
just fucking talking is good enough for public consumption. Do you know what I mean? It's like, it does feel like, it almost feels like you're taking a piss a bit,
to be honest with you.
There are some questions where we answer them
and we're like, so we're doing pretty well off this.
This is what we, yeah.
In this week's Patreon, just recorded,
we asked, have you ever tried to suck yourself off?
Right.
And I copy and pasted that onto a Word document
and went, yep, this will do.
That actually made the cut.
There was other things that didn't make the cut.
I think that's sort of what's really good about it,
about podcasts in general,
because when you do TV or radio or anything like that
where you're sort of not at the mercy of,
but there's a format and there's producers and there's gatekeepers sort of going,
I don't really think that's going to work and this doesn't work.
Podcasts is like, you don't have any of that, right?
And that's why it connects with people that like, that haven't maybe, haven't otherwise,
I don't want to get too sort of wanky about it, but haven't been otherwise been serviced by that.
So like the question, have you ever tried
to suck yourself off, right?
If you,
it's a funny question to ask, right?
If you ever,
I don't know if it's Patreon worthy,
but it's a funny,
no I'm joking,
it's a good question to ask.
No, I'll see.
That was phenomenal.
No, no, I'm joking.
But like,
it's a funny question to ask,
but if you even suggested that
in like a fit,
in a meeting,
do you know what I mean?
Like if somebody goes,
have you got any ideas
for what we could do?
Have you done any prep?
I was thinking about just discussing
whether you've ever sucked yourself off.
There'd be a panic.
You think Channel 4 wouldn't be into it?
No, I just think what would happen is,
because I've suggested shit
that's been a bad idea before in those,
and they'll go,
cool, cool.
Well, look, let's just have a look at some other things.
Can we come back to you on that? And at some other things and then we'll can we
come back to you on that and then they leave and then they discuss whether they still want you on
the show or not that's basically what the next person you see is security um yeah so it's good
man it's really good we got a question i don't know i know it's a question time but it's pod
related to you rematch uh so kev wants to know what happened to hip-hop saved my life he said
he used to love it and is it gone forever?
It's not gone forever.
So basically what happened was...
For those who don't know, that was a hip hop podcast that you...
Yes, so Hip Hop Saved My Life was like...
It was like I just got people on that loved hip hop
and we talked about it and it started off being comedians.
And the whole idea was that people you don't expect
to be into hip-hop are really into hip-hop right and and also hip-hop has this thing where it it
affects your lifestyle in quite tragic ways like like you know like you dress different if you
listen to hip-hop and like something like people i know used to go and tag like bridges and shit
like that because they're so into hip-hop do you mean and so like that was the idea as we started
like talking about it and then we started getting artists on and and just like surprised guests
like we had frankie ball had like this mad theory about tupac and biggie were still alive and were
a couple on a greek island right and like it sounds like such a mad initial idea but then he
started like picking out lyrics and like he actually had like evidence to support his theory
but um but in answer to the question uh so basically what happens I started doing this thing on radio
too for the love of hip-hop so they approached me to do this initially it was like four episodes of
like a super mainstream hip-hop show because radio 2 just didn't have any just didn't have any hip-hop
on it at all but I mean I know they've got Trevor Nelson and that he does kind of R&B and a bit of
hip-hop but they didn't have a straight hip-hop show so i started doing that and then i started
doing it on sound so i just haven't had time to to do both but the truth is is what's the guy's
name that kev so kev kev basically i would i would say that if you really love uh hip-hop
saved my life for the love of hip-hop is a different thing because hip-hop saved my life
is for proper fucking nerds that like go i've got the purple vinyl of company flow do you mean or
whatever like that's for them it's the same theory that you just said for comedy podcasts yeah 100
people yeah like the nitty-gritty they like the long form they like the detail and even if it is
a bit geeky or weird or you're trying to suck your own dick. Yeah, yeah. Some people want that rather than the BBC Sounds
or the Radio 2 version of it being polished.
Yeah, 100%.
So, like, we ended up doing, like, so we do the,
the sound show goes on Radio 2 as well.
So you've got, like, a middle bit where it's, like,
I put on a jacket and do the Radio 2 bit.
And then the sounds bit is, like, we get a little bit more deep.
So we did an interview of, we did an interview
of Lupe Fiasco, right?
And we did, like, we And we did like the sort of mainstream accessible version
of that interview where we cut that for people
that are just Radio 2 listeners
and won't necessarily be like massive Lupe fans.
They just know Superstar or whatever, right?
And then we did like a proper deep interview afterwards.
But Lupe Fiasco, the mad thing about that,
he was so fucked off at the beginning of that interview
because he came on and he said, said oh when's this go out and we said like in about a
month and he said I was told that it was going out like this week I've got shows in London like
later on this week that's the reason I agreed to this interview and then I went oh right I said
well I can't I can't really push it forward any amount of time and then he says okay well let's
just do it and I was like oh my god like it's just like one of my heroes i mean he's already fucking furious i'll tweet it
i put it up on instagram i put a clip of the interview on instagram lupe and i've got quite
a lot of followers in the uk i'm sure that i'm sure that'll make a difference it was so awful
like and what the problem i had is like i started to become really sycophantic in response to that i don't know if you've ever you're trying to like over egg mate it's so ranked i mean it's like i
always have it when i meet footballers or whatever like that but footballers and rappers whenever i
meet them i always regret how i've come across afterwards do you know i mean because you get
super thirsty do you know what i mean like just like yeah no totally i totally know what you mean yeah so horrible calling mr fiasco
i've always said you're the absolute greatest
tupac piggy lupe
just saying something to even they're like mate just slow down
but yeah but you're not sorry in answer to Kev's question we'll be back
we'll be bringing it back
good to know
when you said
then
it's rappers
and footballers
yeah
you're talking about
sort of getting
slightly starstruck
yeah totally
yeah
so what footballers
have you met
where you've acted
because obviously
you did a lot of
love to see Romesh
starstruck
he's literally
just got one gear
like oh
fucking
I'm buzzed
I'd love to see if you even
get a different tone in your voice god Romesh is a bit excited I'm off my tits here yeah mate I
remember like my wife it took her a while to like tune into that do you mean because I remember when
we first started going out we went on holiday to Portugal and like it was about four days in and
she goes to me you
know it's really difficult to know if you're enjoying this holiday or not because i was just
like because i just can't i my natural default setting is just indifferent it's not like i just
can't help it it's just my voice and my face is just like it is just how it is but i do get happy
and shit i had that conversation i was, I am enjoying myself by the way,
but I'm just so like level that I'm like,
you might not be able to tell.
Yeah.
It's quite a male thing.
Yeah. I'm just like, yeah, this is great.
Yeah. But I think Romesh might be next level.
Romesh, the house could be on fire and he'd be like,
mate, the house is on fire.
So we do need to get out now or we will die in the house.
But yeah, but we're footballers
i think because like we meet quite a few of them obviously we get them on the top all the time on
league of their own but like um i i'm shit at football i'm shit at anything to do with sports
so i've got like basic coordination issues i'd say i was like sort of subhuman sort of in that
regard i mean it's so like so so so you're you're talking to somebody who you cannot even relate to how they do what they do do you mean I can't even fathom
what it's like to to be able to do what they do when you meet a comedian like you know when you
gig with comedians that heroes of yours it's a it's like it's it's amazing and you do get nervous
but at the same time you like uh you sort of go well I sort of I'm in the world
I might not be on that level
but I'm in the world
do you know what I mean
whereas football
I can't even
so like I end up
you end up sort of
saying things to try and
it's just embarrassing
like I was
I remember like
you just sort of say things
where
so for example
like I remember like
I used to do this show
Play to the Whistle
Frank Lampard was on it
and I used to talk to him about,
you talk to him about football shit
and then you go,
what the fuck are you doing?
Do you know what I mean?
Like you go,
sometimes I wish you'd just like
pump it down the wing
and you go,
what are you saying this to Frank Lampard?
Do you know what I mean?
Like what are you fucking talking about?
Do you know what I mean?
On the train back,
we got the other star back
from Paris yesterday
and on a very smaller scale
Than that
It was me
Alfie
Me mate Josh
And sat on a table of four
And there's another guy
On the table
And he
Obviously
Knew
Absolutely
Nothing
About football
Right
So when I
I'm of the opinion
If you know
Absolutely nothing
About something
Just don't try
Yeah
To sound like you do
to people who do know.
Because,
so he goes,
oh, you've been the game, eh?
Yeah.
Madrid, Liverpool fans?
Yeah, yeah.
Tough, tough to take.
Tough to take.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah, he goes,
I think Liverpool,
I think they were fearing the shirt.
I think they were fearing the shirt. I think they were fearing the white shirt of Madrid and all its history.
And I feel like if Liverpool had just gone, do you know what?
No, we're not going to be fearful.
You'd have won that.
If only Jürgen had said.
Yeah, I wish someone had thought of that.
Guys, guys, stop fearing the shirt.
Fucking yes, you're absolutely right.
It's like the scales have fallen from my eyes.
He's definitely heard that as well.
I mean, like, that's not a real opinion.
Like, that's when people just repeat things.
They assemble bits that they've heard
and form like an opinion from that, don't they?
Honestly, like, I was so angry,
but obviously you can't just get angry with them.
Yeah.
And be like, you're a fucking idiot. So you just have to sit there and be like, yeah, of course
And then he goes
Think what Liverpool need to do this summer
The transfer window's opening up again
I don't know if you knew that
Transfer window's opening up again
I think Liverpool need a big man
Like
Honestly
He goes, Liverpool They put a lot of crosses in And I'm always thinking, if they had a big man like oh honestly he goes
he goes
Liverpool
you know they put a lot of crosses in
and I'm always thinking
if they had a big man
oh
they'd be scoring a lot more goals here
oh
John Carew
get him in
but at that point
I'd lost me tethered a bit
so I went
I think what you're doing there
makes you showing a fundamental misunderstanding
of why Liverpool crossed the ball
so
I can't believe you bit you let me go you went ah I think what you're doing there makes you show a fundamental misunderstanding of why Liverpool crossed the ball.
I can't believe you bit.
He let me go and he went, ah.
He just went home and he went,
I fucking got one today.
At first, he was pretty chilled out and I just thought, let me just keep.
And then I pulled out big mad.
And he fucking absolutely went for it.
I was like, Liverpool are actually looking
for really
accurate crosses
to find
the feet of their forwards
and then Liverpool
pounce and try and win
the second ball
Liverpool's got most
of their goals
from winning the ball
in the high area
rather than creating
the best chance
but that's if they're
not fearing the shirt
you know
all of that makes sense
until you've got fear
I hated them
like I really
hated them
don't talk
don't talk football to a footballer yeah also
shout probably don't talk comedy to us in it when people are like let's talk about comedy i'm just
like is he a footballer well i said don't talk football to a footballer yeah i was just trying
to move back to what we were talking about segue wasn't it carl's really enjoying adam's story like
keep going adam what else happened on the train You were doing a segue, weren't you? Carl's really enjoying Adam's story. Like, keep going, Adam.
What else happened on the train?
You're such a good best friend.
Listen to him.
That's enough.
Never mind Romesh.
What about Adam?
He hasn't had chance on this podcast.
Episode 180.
Thank you, Dan.
Adam, did you have a snack on the train?
Where are you, sir?
Which row?
Oh, you're such a sweetie.
Oh, my God.
Right, I'll help with the segue.
Who's the most starstruck you've been with?
Because there's got to be some way you're like,
shit, that's Ronaldo or Messi Or
Yeah
Did you have biscuits Adam
Or did you have
Shortbreads
Yeah this is bad actually
Because you put some pressure on me
I've got no good answer
You're an Arsenal fan aren't you
I am an Arsenal fan
But
I've
Like
I've met
Yeah when I met Thierry Henry
Thierry Henry
Where did you meet Thierry
It was
Actually
Do you know what
I'll tell you The one that was madder than Thierry? It was Do you know Actually Do you know what I'll tell you
The one that was madder
Than Thierry Murray
Was Ian Wright
Right
So like
Because I
I loved Ian Wright
Absolutely loved Ian Wright
Growing up right
And
I think he's fucking great
Yeah
He's such a top bloke
But like what happened was
Is that
I hadn't
Like I was just obsessed with him
Like growing up
As an arsehole
And my dad was like a huge
Like you know Obsessed with Ian Wright And I was supporting obsessed with him like growing up as an arsehole my dad was like a huge like you
know obsessed with him right and I was supporting Kevin Bridges in Manchester and that tour Bridges
and like that tour was like really messy like we would like we would like doing the shows and then
we were getting on it like till really like four or five o'clock in the morning and then starting
to feel just about all right for the time the next show was running around it was like unsurvivable for much longer really but like um
we uh adam's there yeah right yeah no i've seen your like you're properly getting on it
but like um i actually sorry to interrupt you do you want to know i actually remember we gigged
together when you were doing that thank god shut up Romesh Jesus Christ
this fucking
Ian Wright story
wind it up
go on Adam
please do not
forget that story
we
we gigged together
when you were doing
that tour with him
in
outside the box
in Kingston
like
south east or southwest Londonondon yeah and you'd
you'd opened for kevin bridges and you were closing this 23 person gig in a fucking cupboard
in kingston i i don't know'm the MC but they'd asked me
to MC here
so I'm still here
he turns up
and he's like
I was like
because he went
oh Ramesh
he's doubling
I don't think
that's an equal double
is it
he's opening
for Kevin Bridges
at the Apollo
and he come in
and he went
how is it
and I went
fine
no but you know what
because the reason
I was doing that
at that time
is that I was doing that at that time is
that um i was doing live at the apollo and i hadn't really figured out what my set was going
to be because like when you do your when like the first time i did live at the apollo you're
like you got your 20 you're just like i'm gonna fucking do that it's 100 right and then this one
i was like i don't i'm not sure what i'm gonna do like i was trying to figure out so i kept opening
for kev and then going because i didn't want to try stuff out at Kev's gig.
I had to like just do a set.
And then I was going.
All of a sudden he's going on with notes doing tasks.
Exactly, yeah.
So guys, what have we got here?
Who's met Frank Lampard?
Yeah.
But like, so I kept doing that.
I kept opening for Kev, then doing a local gig.
So in Glasgow, it was like, I was doing the Hydro,
which is like, was it 14,000 or something like that?
And then I was doing the Yes Bar, which is 35 people.
So I would do the Hydro, and then I'd get in a taxi,
go down to the thing, and just go and do this tiny gig.
And it was like, it was actually, to be honest with you,
it was like a cool experience.
Do you know what I mean?
Because like,
you got to see,
properly get to see
the difference.
Because actually,
you guys will have seen this.
Like,
I know you're both like,
when you go on tour,
you sort of have to fill the space a bit.
Do you know what I mean?
When you're in a tiny club,
you can,
I think the way you play it's different.
Do you know what I mean?
Like,
and so then when suddenly you're doing, like, you've got to be bigger, you're bigger in your movements, you can, I think the way you play it's different. Do you know what I mean? And so then when suddenly you're doing,
like,
you've got to be bigger,
you're bigger in your movements,
you're,
and sometimes some material doesn't work.
You know,
you can rip it in a small room.
You do it in a big room.
It just doesn't fly like that.
Do you know what I mean?
So it was a really good experience doing that.
But the Ian Wright,
Ian,
is that all right to?
Yeah,
get back to me.
Yeah,
yeah,
cool.
But like,
I'd love to.
And they had Heineken as well'd love to and they had heart anakin
as well
quite warm
so we'd been
we'd been
like really on it
that whole night
and then we were
going to watch
the Manchester Derby
the next day
and I was like
like really
fragile
I mean Ian Wright
was
was like sat
across
he's obviously there
for the game as well
and he was sat
across the hotel bar and Bridges goes to me mate like, Ian Wright was sat across the... He's obviously there for the game as well. And he was sat across the hotel bar.
And Bridges goes to me,
mate, Ian Wright's over there.
And I was so fucked that I said,
this can't be how I meet Ian Wright.
It can't.
I can't.
This cannot be.
I just don't want it.
I will meet Ian Wright properly,
but I want to be lucid and entertaining and chatty.
And then him to go,
do you know what? I think I want to be best mates with that fella entertaining and chatty and then him to go do you know what
I think I want to be
best mates with that
that's what I want it to be
do you know what I mean
it's not going to be like that
if I meet him now
so I said
so we were going to the gate
I said can we just sneak out
without
I don't want to
I actually made the choice
to not
go and say hello to him
right
and then as we were sneaking out
he recognised us
and then called us over
and I was like oh my god oh my god oh my god
and then like he was chatting to kev kev was absolutely i don't know like kev just he can
just do whatever he wants to his body and be completely fine and it's the same it's me right
is that yeah right okay well congratulations no health problems with me yeah um and then um
i just i honestly they were talking for a little bit and Ian Wright
I think
Asian Provocateur
this travel show
I did in Sri Lanka
just come out
and Ian Wright goes
oh I'm really enjoying
that Asian Provocateur
and I honestly went
I think you're the greatest
oh my god
I'm cringing so hard for you
It's the most alive I've ever seen you
I'm fucking out
I mean I couldn't really talk after that
Did you hear yourself say it? Yeah I heard myself say it and then I couldn't really talk after that it's like you know when you
did you hear yourself say it?
yeah I heard myself say it
and like
I just
I think I just convinced myself
because whenever you're in those situations
or whenever you're in a pressured situation
I always think
just say
be honest
say what you think
do you know what I mean?
and that's often the right way to go
how often does that come back to you and you just go?
No, because Ian Stone was doing a radio show with him.
This does get slightly worse.
Because Ian Stone was doing a radio show with him at the time
and I text Ian Stone because I was really freaked out about it.
And I said, look, mate, I bumped into Ian Wright at this hotel
and I've made a real dick of myself.
Do you mind like telling him that I'm not normally like that?
And Ian stays like, I'm not going to go up to Ian Wright.
My friend says he's not normally like that.
He's much cooler normally, Ian.
Awful.
So true.
But that proves that I was right.
That I shouldn't have got,
you know,
I was right to try and...
Oh, 100%.
Right to try and get out of it.
Your instinct was spot on.
Is there anyone you'd be proper starstruck by?
I think we've touched on this before.
Well,
we're bound to have,
because we've done 7,000 hours of this.
Anything comedy for 40?
I've watched so much NFL for the last 10 years
that I think some NFL players now would have,
and I also think there's something about America
I totally agree with that.
that makes it more...
It's cinema, isn't it, for us?
That's why.
Like, we've talked about which comics would,
nearly everyone that me and Adam have come up with
are American comics,
because it feels like a world,
it's so separate from ours
even though there's links
and you talked about it
with podcasting
but because I've just
sort of gone off
F1 and cricket
and
our football
and I've just become
so big an NFL fan
there are guys
who if I met them
I would
and it's usually
the sort of like
it's not the young
like the stars
of the they're 23 I'd be stars of the, they're 23.
I'd be like, oh yeah, cool, 23.
Some of the older dudes who I've been watching for like 10 years, yeah.
And part of the reason I think I would be starstruck is,
I get it that they're just some fucking athletes and sportsmen and everything,
but I think the thing that would make me weird is my internal monologue going,
don't be weird, don't be weird, don't be weird.
I think that would fuck me up.
Yeah.
Because you don't make a fucking tit to yourself.
Larry Fitzgerald is a,
I just think is such a fucking cool.
Is he the one who knows everything?
The older one?
Yeah.
Yeah, he knows everything about NFL.
What?
Isn't he like the one NFL what isn't he very
isn't he like the
no he's
no
but yeah
some of the older dudes
like Tony Romo
who are now broadcast
oh yeah
you love it
I know Tony
oh Rum Dogs
Rihon Romeo
yeah I think they get me
Tony Romeo
what about you
with Liverpool players
is there any
like Jürgen now
he's obviously
a bit special
yeah but
I don't know
if star
sucks but I'd
be excited
I genuinely
think I'd just
be like this is
sick I don't
think I'd be like
I don't think I'd
go to shit I
don't know why
what were you
like because I
was you supported
Bill Burr didn't
you I was at that
gig you were great
man but um
but I because I supported him years before yeah and I and he You supported Bill Burr, didn't you? I was at that gig. You were great, man. Thank you. But I,
because I supported him years before.
Yeah.
And I,
and he,
I didn't want to,
I sort of didn't,
it was a similar thing with Ian Wright.
I sort of didn't want to talk to him in between
because I sort of thought it's better
that Bill Burr hasn't spoken to me
than I live the rest of my life with Bill Burr
thinking I'm a dick.
Do you know what I mean?
I just sort of, I prefer that of the two options. Or what options bill burr's a bit of a no exactly yeah yeah but yeah
exactly if you suddenly discover this like you know it's like launches in some sort of racist
polemic do you mean like backstage oh fuck so as you're saying they don't meet your heroes in case
you're a tit basically i think i am yeah and i i always i always i always sort of like um
i always bear that in mind when like because when people recognize you you you often get people say
fucking mad stuff to you like and what i find is like when you're a comic they want to say
something funny and then they'll try and say something that you've said and like so for example i make jokes about my eye and then they'll go they'll come up to go hello
you blind cunt and you go all right mate this is a bit like this is a bit off key but you have to
sort of forgive them because i know what that's i'm not saying i'm on the level of i'm not saying
i'm on that level but i just know that when you meet somebody that you like their stuff or you
recognize them you want to say so
you're trying to think of something that's got a bit of impact or something to go i know what you
do i know what do you know what i mean and then like so you have to sort of be understanding of
that but yeah some people have got the cool haven't they doesn't matter like some people
have just got that gear i i forgive the people who go, because I think I've got a bit of the goon in me.
I think I'd say something daft to an American fucking NFL player
and like after the fact be like,
what was that Dan?
So when someone gets excited and goes,
I know you're from the podcast.
Just sort of misjudges it.
You're like, yeah, it's good.
I think you just have to go.
Yeah, I get it.
But then the other thing,
the thing I don't like, i don't know if this happened to
you is that when people come and like neg you because they want to oh my god they went for the
first time to me last week right yeah so what they want to do is they want to they want to say the
opposite they want to say something cool right so their idea of saying something cool is saying
something horrible so what what so this guy clearly knew me he bought me a Guinness and he went
I don't really know
who you are
yeah
I was like
why the fuck
have you bought me a Guinness then
he did
he was like
on all of the podcasts
I was like
he was trying to be like
damn cool
but he didn't
the common one with comics
is
it's not even that funny
yeah
I mean I've paid
26 quid for the ticket
and whatever
but
shite
yeah
shite
on the picture
yeah yeah and then like occasionally like I'd be at you'd be out I'm like, shite! Yeah, yeah. Shite! And the pitcher.
Yeah.
Yeah, and then, like, occasionally, like, I'd be at a,
you'd be out and somebody would come up to you and go,
I don't know why I've come over to say hello to you because I don't really know who you are.
Like, my friends say that, like, you're, like, a comment,
but I don't even,
and I go, it's actually not a requirement.
Like, you don't have to come over, do you know what I mean?
Like, but I think even then, it's somebody, they're just trying to, I think't have to come over do you like but i think even then it's somebody
they're just trying to i think you have to kind of i find it annoying that that that that strategy
but i still think you have to go sometimes people go a bit mad do you know what i mean like when
they see somebody they recognize whatever they're just like thinking of what to say and and sometimes
i say the wrong things you have to kind of allow it do you let it affect your day-to-day or i suppose you can't you've got kids you've got to live your life
haven't you but yeah you dodge certain things and there's certain places where you're like i can't
be arsed with fucking nando's on a saturday lunchtime or uh no i i don't no not really i
don't really get like often people be out of me and they're surprised by how little i kind of
get sometimes you get a perfect storm like i was i was out in york the other day and i didn't realize how
staggy and henny like um york is but i was just wandering through there i've been like somebody
saw me and asked for a photo and then like it just created a bit of a thing but a lot of the time
part of the thing is i don't look that approachable do you mean and i do i do fit in that hell
do you mean i saw romesh he's in a bad
mood but i genuinely sometimes i'll get a message on instant going i saw you um i saw you out with
your family at blah blah i i like your stuff but i didn't it didn't look like you wanted to be talked
to so it's like but where's like beckett rob beckett he'll get it he gets it much worse than
me because he's like he's got that vibe do you know what i mean of being um approachable and friendly and like do you know what i mean whereas i sort of people
yeah i don't really have that same thing so i don't get approached a lot occasionally like
there's certain places like okay occasionally it happens where it gets a bit like it must
same things that does for you it gets a bit mad but like most of the time it's fine i don't ever
change my behavior there must be something in York
because Toby Jones
used to run a gig
there right and
Russell Howard was
doing a tour warm-up
spot got sort of a
little bit lost on the
way to the gig got
stopped by one person
asking for a selfie
yeah and then another
person realized what
was happening and
there's a crowd of
150 people within
about 20 minutes.
And Russell Howard's too nice to go,
can everyone fuck off?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So he had to go, cool, I can't just take this picture.
I just need to call someone.
Had to ring Toby Jones and go,
can you come and get me, please?
And he was like, where are you?
He was like, outside H&M.
It was just a crowd pinning him against the shop window.
So Toby Jones had to come in and be like,
guys, sorry, guys, he's got to go. And fucking like, the yeah the body the bodyguard him out just the stupidly annoying thing about that is if they were
genuine fans they'd be going to the show yeah yeah it's weird isn't it it's something about
yeah it's um it's something about meeting people people get like even because you're like you said
a lot of people go if somebody comes up to you and they just recognize you're something that's nice but like
it's always much nicer if somebody actually like knows something you've done do you know what i
mean and then you actually then you stop and have a chat or if they're talking about like
the hip-hop podcast and then you're like oh no this guy really does yeah yeah there's there's
levels in there's a little bit of knowledge and whatnot totally if somebody goes yeah if somebody
like specifically
pulls out something
I'll stop and have a chat
because that's like
a proper
that's a proper fan
I printed a CD
in 2008
I printed off
about 500 copies
sold
not all of them
and someone
after a gig recently
was like
yeah yeah
I've got your old CD
and I thought they meant
the one from like
five years ago
and they were like no I bought that one in 2007 and knew what it was called and
i nearly hugged them yeah i totally get a little bit of insight where you're like oh that's proper
yeah 15 year fan yeah that's yeah it's nice isn't it that's all right don't mind that at all
my favorite one is when they i had this in town a couple of weeks ago this lad comes to me and he goes you're the
you're the guy
you're
comedy
I don't know your name
massive fan
I stopped that girl
getting a picture
with you in Ireland
she went can I get a picture
I went tell me his name
and I'll let you get a picture
and she went I don't know
I was like go away
like her friends have gone
oh he's the famous guy
and she gone
oh wow
I want to get a picture
fuck off
I was I was in a I was in a bar a few weeks ago Like, if they've gone, oh, he's the famous guy, and she's gone, oh, wow, what a good picture. Fuck off. Yeah.
I was in a bar a few weeks ago,
and, like, I was with a couple of mates,
and this girl sat down, and she said,
everybody's saying someone famous.
She didn't know who the hell I was.
And she sat down, and she goes,
a load of people are saying that there's someone famous at this table.
Is it you?
And I said, no.
I said, he's an actor and then like she started like really chatting to him like like just was
like chatting across me like just was like really into like talking to whoever the famous guy was
and then as that was happening somebody asked me for a photo so i got up and did the photo
with them and then sat down and then she went what the fuck is going on here really I'm trying to suck up the wrong person really affronted oh that's so funny
are you on tour proper now this is middle are you middle of the tour start the tour where
where we are right we're right at the arse end of it now because it started it started in two it's like it was pre-pandemic
oh no the tour started so one of these yeah so it's like i remember i think it was a four-year
tour it's mad well so david costello has said he's going to see it tonight i'm guessing that was
saturday night empire yeah tonight yeah tonight yeah he said since it was delayed
two years
has it been revised much
material wise
wow
he's pretty demanding
this guy
so basically
not deliberately
because I didn't
because I just thought
it's the show
do you know what I mean
but
just because
I got bored of saying
certain bits
and like
you end up sort of accidentally writing bits,
don't you, as time goes on.
So actually the first half is completely different.
But that wasn't, I didn't think I must change this up,
do you know what I mean?
But it just happened naturally.
So yeah, I think like it is a,
not a completely different show.
There's bits that are the same,
but I would say there's probably like a new 45 minutes
or something in there but it's just gradually like from gigging and stuff like that it's just
like slipped in and stuff and then you sort of go off i don't want to do this bit anymore and
whatever so it wasn't i didn't think i must freshen this up it just happened do you do two
halves yeah so i do so i don't have a support act i've got we've got a dj that like um that basically
is a support act um and then i come out and do like 45 in the first half and then uh i probably
do like 50 55 in the second i mean but that that's not by plan either my i always think i want to do
like i always aim for like 40-ish each half.
And then what happens is it just gradually expands.
And to be honest with you,
it's probably too long at the moment, but I just like doing all the stuff,
so I haven't chopped anything out.
But that is a long time.
I think that second half,
you sort of go,
if really,
if it's not,
you're running the risk of them going,
fucking hell,
do you know what I mean?
It's like,
it just feels like a bit of a marathon. Have you ever been at like a music gig and they've gone do you want more and you sort of think well it's getting on a bit yeah i could i could do
with getting off that's what i worry about slightly do you know what i mean that is a long
old show isn't it yeah how long do you guys do well I'm planning I'm planning to do
20 minutes before
the support act
they do 20
yeah
so that's always
going to overrun
to 45
and in my head
I want to do 50
55
right right right
but I don't
like we said like
when a comic
ever says to you
I'm going to do 50
55
what they mean is
an hour
an hour and five
like when you
on Friday night
went you can do 12
I was like, cool.
He means 13.
He means 13.
You always add like 10, 15% don't you?
I just, I don't know what you,
it's so interesting hearing you do it differently.
I'm planning to do it differently.
You're doing it completely different again.
There is no one definitely right way.
No.
I send a support, I come to do 20 minutes, have a break.
And then I try to do an hour.
But I've- I mean, that's like a break, and then I try to do an hour. Yeah.
But I've...
I mean, that's like a proper, that's a proper old school,
like almost American way of doing it, which is good, man.
Yeah, they obviously, they don't have the intervals, do they?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, that's true, yeah.
And I'd be tempted to see what it'd be like without an interval,
but I don't think it'd work over here.
My show at the minute is, I've took a 20-minute routine out of it,
and it's gone down to an hour and 15 it started at 55 an hour and over three months it's grown yeah it's grown by
like and is that is that is that where routines have got big or you've added routines routines
have just got bigger just tags and and yeah 30 second humble this way and yeah it's not there's no new bits
yeah yeah at all it's mad like that is it because i often find like sometimes like if this is this
too nerdy for the podcast anyway but no we talk about comedy okay okay but like i have you ever
sucked yourself off we'll get to that yeah we'll keep that behind the paywall though
um but um i i often like when I've written the first
20 for the tour like you know
I'll write in bits and then there's a theatre down the
road from my house like a 100 seater and I'll just
go and like try it out
often that initial 20 minutes
is basically the tour but it
just expands do you know what I mean it's so
mad how it happens like that it's not like you think
it's going to be I'm going to bolt on this I'm going to
bolt on this but actually it just sort of grows and grows and grows and you
add bits so like sometimes I think when I when I started writing tour shows I'd write the like
the initial bit and I go let me just try this out and I think hold on I've got to think about this
a bit more because I'm the kind of lazy bastard that will make this the show now do you know what
I mean so I've got to make sure these topics and things are things i actually am going to be in love with like in a year's time do you know what i mean when i'm doing this on the
road yeah it's it's hard to judge that though isn't it like so hard like i'm conscious because
like we have a lot of people coming to see us at comedy club gigs now yeah like oh i always listen
to the podcast so whatever that's where i work my stuff through. Yeah. I don't do many work in progress.
Right,
right,
right.
It's right out in the club.
I just put three 20s together
and then that's the tour.
Yeah.
Because my tour finishes the end of June
and I'm not touring again
until the end of next year.
Right.
So I've got like just over a year to rise it.
But I always think like,
if someone comes and sees me in October this year
and they see me do 20 minutes
and then they buy a tour ticket for October next next year yeah they're gonna see the same stuff
yes and they're gonna be like this fucking come right nothing yeah doing this for 13 months come
to the tours or the work in progress yeah i'm going unlisted in the new year if if club if
clubs don't want to put me on unlisted fine but. But I'm not having the same conversation of like,
oh, we're coming to Leeds and then you're in Nottingham
and then we're going to come and see the tour show.
You're like, you're going to see the stuff.
Mate, it's hard though.
I don't know what you...
I had a thing where I was doing, I'd just done,
it's sort of, I'd done Live at the Apollo
in the middle of a tour.
So like the Live at the Apollo set was like
20 minutes out of the tour, right? And then I was doing the Apollo of a tour so like the live at the Apollo set was like 20 minutes out of the tour right
and then I was doing
I was doing the Apollo
on the tour
and that set was in the thing
right
and in the interval
I was having a great
like I was having
a really nice time
and then in the interval
I just saw this tweet
from somebody going
and I was in a bit
I was a bit tired
at this time right
I saw a tweet going
fucking hell
I'm at the Apollo gig
with Ron Mastroianni
I've've seen all
this shit before right he tagged me and i now i'll be honest with you first of all i wouldn't look at
my phone to see in the interval but even if i did i'm now immune to i've managed to get myself to a
place where i don't really not that i don't care but i'm immune to that kind of thing but then i
wasn't and like so i was just like oh my god everybody hates this show right and i started
like spiraling right and like so when i went out to do the second half it was like having an out-of-body experience
like i had a good gig but in my head i was just thinking about this one person that was hating it
the reality is he probably walked out but like i was like thinking about this whole thing it like
it fucked it ruined my apollo like experience right i mean? Jesus. I mean, after the gig, there's like a,
they've got a bar, we had a bar, like, for guests or whatever.
And Mark Schwartzer was there, right?
Like, he'd come to watch the show.
And I was like, I was like, I was like.
That's so random.
I know.
And I was spinning out, right?
I was like in a really bad place.
And he went, and I just couldn't social,
I went to the bar because a couple of my mates
were there,
but I was like,
I can't explain it to you.
I was not in a good headspace.
Your head's falling off.
Fucked, mate.
Yeah.
Right?
Like, properly.
And so then, like,
I walk in,
he introduces himself,
and I just go,
yeah, all right, mate.
And I just,
I couldn't,
I just didn't have
the social skills to like,
I just couldn't,
I'm not in a place
to talk to Mark Schwarzer
right now, right?
So, like,
so, like, so, so so so i just go home after the like do do what i think is like the the requisite amount of time in the bar to like be polite and then i leave right months later right i get a text message from
somebody going you're getting you're getting absolutely coated off and fighting talk right now right and they and i was like what and they were doing an item about having a weird experience when
you meet somebody you're a fan of right and mark schwartzenberg's on the show he was talking about
coming to the apollo being excited to meet me and me just being a bit of a prick
and then i just thought oh my god this night keeps coming back
i end up having to message him just going i think you're the greatest
didn't you get ian stone to message him
oh you should never be allowed around football
it's the most niche footballer ever as well

back to the episode
it's a toxic work environment we've got
oh it's nasty
it gets nasty
it does
toxic
hey we're going perpignan soon though
can we go to the new camp we're going what can we Hey, we're going Perpignan too, though. Really?
Can we go to the new camp?
What?
Can we go to?
We're going to watch Catalan Dragons.
Why is that not enough?
Why is that not enough?
I don't give a fuck.
Ian, you'll stay around for a couple of days.
We're going to go and watch rugby league, ironically.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, we're going to Barcelona. Because there's a team called Catalan Dragons
that are in the Super League,
which is full of northern fucking rugby league teams.
And there's an away day
where loads of northern Bel-Ans,
hi guys, St. Ellen's fans,
we're coming with you,
go to Perpignan.
And I need to see it.
I need to see what a load of northerners go,
we're looking love rugby league.
They don't do pies.
I want to see it.
I want to see what it's like
You do paella though
What in Perpignan in south of France
You're in our bed
In Barcelona
You probably do sell paella
Yeah
Somewhere
Alright cool
In the north as well
Paella is
Yeah
Great points guys
Glad we made them
Also Carl was actually
He's doing a play on words
Because you said pie
And that sounds like
the first syllable of pie
I'm not having it
I'm not accepting it
it's not up to
the Mark Schwarzer standard
that we've set here guys
if you'd have asked me
to guess that footballer
we would be here
until we were
old old men
I'd have whipped out
Papa Boobity up
so many times
before we got to rest in peace this one have whipped out Papa Boobity Op so many times before we got to...
This one's for you,
Papa Booba. Lewis Stoker
says, first question, do you miss Papa Boobity
Op? We do.
Of course we do, Lewis.
I think about him every day.
Every day I'm like, Papa.
If you can hear me.
Now that's a joke. Fucking
paella was wanked fuck off
well done
he didn't even mean it
get in the fridge
it came to him
as he said it
and I said it
they're often our best bits
oh nanana
right
big end up
never mind
we're going to do
a would you rather
Ramesh
because this is what
this house was built on
nonsense and you can't not do either you've got to do a would you rather, Ramesh. Okay. Because this is what this house was built on. Nonsense.
And you can't not do either.
You've got to do one.
Sure.
Would you rather exclusively have responsibility
for bathing your dad, arse and balls,
cleanse included,
or have your dad exclusively bathe you?
So there's two choices.
Your dad's cleaning you or you're cleaning your dad.
Carl, you're going to have to use your mouth.
Mine's going to be a bit of a process.
Carl's dad is pop a boobity up and he's not here.
I would do almost anything to avoid washing my dad's cock.
I tell you what, it would make bath time with my kids really weird.
When I was like, Jack, Etta, Dad!
Yeah, that's not good. mean dad can wash me personally yeah well that's what you'd have to do to not wash his
cock to let him wash yours yeah but he's washing your cock i know but you could close your eyes
is it there's no you sort of described very quickly what the wash would be like is it like
a thorough are you talking about you you You aren't allowed to bathe yourself.
No, but what I'm saying is if I was washing,
I mean, just to get the awkward sound,
my dad passed away a few years ago,
but let's assume he's alive for this thing.
Ramesh, I honestly wish I knew that.
And I apologise for how fucking,
in my head I was like, yeah, this is fine.
It's fine, it is fine.
Was he Papa Booba Diop?
No, he wasn't.
He made it worse.
He looked a bit like him.
That's not my joke to laugh at.
Sorry, no, sure, sure.
But the thing is,
if my dad,
knowing my dad as I do,
if he was tasked with washing my cock,
as well as everything else,
I feel like he'd do it quite gingerly. I don't think he'd get in the mix do you know what i mean like so you sort of feel
like i feel like he'd have a bit of consideration sort of like i feel like he'd go i know this is
uncomfortable and he would just sort of go quick do you mean i can't imagine he'd go oh let's go
to town on this bad boy do you know what i mean so i? So I think that affects it. Do you know what I mean?
Cause like, if I was washing my dad's dick.
Have you seen the star of Shawshank Redemption?
I hope to God my mom doesn't see this.
So what did you talk about on that podcast?
Oh, well.
Shut up Mrs. Ranganathan.
Mrs Ranganathan I had a real
moment there
that added
hangover
and just
everything
that we've
done for
two and a half
years
with this podcast
we've got
one of the
biggest comics
in the UK
and I heard him
say out loud
no no no if I was watching me dance Guys, we've got one of the biggest comics in the UK and I heard him say out loud,
no, no, no, if I was watching me dance,
and if I was sat above us watching that happen.
Oh, this one's going to go down.
Sorry, we interrupted you. If I was watching my dad's...
Distance, Power spray.
Yeah, I guess so.
You take it off?
God damn.
That's dick.
Fact.
Yeah.
Fact.
And you know that through your research.
It's on the cartridge, I've heard.
Yeah.
Because I've seen it take the paint off a bonnet.
Oh, no.
Don't close, you animals.
It's not-
You're just fucking- not fucking slicing it like a
chorizo.
Your dad's dick
isn't a fucking
dirty patio.
Oh,
that's the bum in it.
No,
I mean from a distance.
Yeah.
No,
you've been missing
for an asshole.
How do you know
I'm a dad girl?
Fuck,
I'm right in the
dirty patio.
All night long. Jet washed it from a distance
had to move the furniture
I think we'd all do a very
half-assed job
yes that's the point
yeah that's the point I'm trying to
because it depends how much
they're depending on that wash
if it's like
just for this
if it's just a thing
yeah
that you have to do
and they're not depending on that
it's it's gonna be annual in it yeah i think so one one spray at christmas yeah what have you got
me for christmas never mind that get in the garden come on then turn the carter on yeah
that was great yeah oh what what literally nothing he Heard the joke
That I edited out
Like he's seen me
Right here and go nope
So we haven't actually answered the question have we
I'd let me down
Bath me
I mean this is impossible for me but I'd just close my eyes
It's not impossible
It's just more difficult
Very difficult
I want to bathe
I want to bathe regularly
Because I really like being clean
So
That would mean
I have to
You might change that
No no
But yeah
So I will bathe my dad
And be like
Dad
Honestly
You're in your 70s
Don't go anywhere
How many times
Do we need to bathe a week
Once every other Come on I we need to bathe a week?
Once every other?
Come on.
I personally need to be clean.
So if I choose that he cleans me,
that is me seeing my dad twice a day sometimes.
Fucking painful.
Just once every fortnight,
cart shirt in the garden.
Say hello to me, step-mom.
It's weird.
Off I go.
Yeah.
This is the only time you visit.
Patio's clean, isn't it?
Are you doing that as well?
Yeah, what I love here.
Wow, you've got the car chanels.
You've got the car chanels.
Dude, the flags.
Yeah, I think I agree with you. I'd watch'd watch my dad i tell you what thank you for being a uh a very good podcast because i didn't know all right yeah that
happened uh that happened on i did big fat quiz and uh jimmy carr said i promise you've been in a
lot of travel shows uh with your mum what does your dad say about that and i said I promise you've been in a lot of travel shows with your mum
what do your dad say about that
and I said
he says I've been dead for four years
and it got
it was like really early on in the record
and it got really fucking awkward
but they put it in
they kept it in
the amount of
dead parent jokes
that we've made on this podcast
because both mine
and Dan's mums
are
partying with papa partying with Papa.
Partying with Papa is the best analogy ever.
Mr. Ranganathan, Papa Bibidi up and our mums.
It's a hell of a party.
Hell of a podcast.
Hell of a podcast.
Hell of a podcast.
They're all just baffling each other.
Come on.
Oh, God, I'm not.
Upset me.
One of my favourite moments Ever on Have A Word
Was when
Really sincerely
I explained how my mum died
And I went
And if you don't know
Dan's mum
Was bummed to death
And it took him
A second and a half
To register
What I'm just being said
And just like her I had to just take it Rough Rough It took him a second and a half to make you stare. When I'm just being sent there, he's like...
And just like her, I had to just take it.
Rough.
Rough.
See?
This is...
It's fucked me up, this podcast.
Yeah, it really is.
Because I didn't used to joke about this.
No, you shouldn't.
This isn't even a patron.
But here I am, two fucking scousers.
I'm like, yeah, yeah.
My nan's a slag as well.
That's bad.
Really bad.
It is, isn't it?
Yeah, that's fucked, man.
How dare you?
Well, you've been rewired in a terrible way.
It's good, though, isn't it?
Yeah.
I got some advice.
We give some advice out.
Okay.
You're a man of wisdom.
Sure.
People want to know how to live their lives in the kitchen.
People want to know how to live their lives And they can't do it
Hey
David, Alfonso, Kobe, Stefan
And Finn and Ramesh
God this person knew
I could do with your advice
I've been trying to spice things up a bit with the missus
Through things like a cheeky finger up my arse
Or a spot of rimming
But she keeps shrugging it off due to my IBS
And the fact I always need a shit
Any ideas to persuade
As cleaning alone isn't doing it for her
and needs some persuasion tactics?
Thanks, Anonymous.
Pick something else.
I think live your life without doing that, man.
What the fuck are you talking about?
If you know that you've got that going on,
no, you need to be persuaded to fucking drop it.
Jesus Christ.
Stay away from the area.
That's not for you.
That is not for you.
It's just one of the things that you can be born with.
That means you just don't get to do certain things.
And if you've got IBS, you don't get fingered in the ass.
That's a sacrifice you've got to make.
Fucking hell, you can't have everything.
You can't be on the toilet
for the seventh time in an afternoon
going, gosh, she's frigid.
So frigid.
So vanilla.
Yeah.
Having said that,
I think I've got IBS,
never been diagnosed,
but it'd be a short conversation with the doctor.
You know, I've had.
Yeah, I know, but don't you have to legally just do some sort of, like,
formal warning before they go in the area?
Well, the last girl who did it didn't ask.
She just...
She's an adventure.
Have you ever been valeted?
Have you ever been...
What?
Tongue?
On my bumhole?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's risky for you.
Like, wow.
Why have you allowed that do you mean allowed
is that like
you know you said
she didn't ask
yeah
is that like
is that another consent level
do you think
is that like
because like
you are
I assume you're having
it wasn't just like it
you weren't just out and about
a meet and greet
yeah yeah
just like
okay now
so you're there anyway aren't you so then like the idea that she did not is like that fuck you now. So you're there anyway,
aren't you?
So then like the idea
that she did not,
is like that suggests
that that's another level,
right?
Yeah.
I see what you mean.
But I think
with a lot of
consent things like that
once you're in the middle of things,
it's someone tries something
and if the other person
lets it happen,
they let it happen.
And if they say no,
then they say no
and you stop.
And I didn't say no
yeah
or loved you to turn up
to Liverpool City Centre
police station
at four in the morning
going I've just been
licked out against my will
yeah
we're having sex in that
but that was
wow
that was too much
wow
yeah
don't say them words
what
I've been getting
licked out against his will

All of our dirty
This one's got
Oh my god
It's been so
She didn't
She didn't do the tongue
Yeah
She just
The tongue punch
And were you nervous?
No I was too drunk to care
Okay fine

What's going on back there
And we'd be able to enjoy
What was going on up here
Grow the fuck up
The lot of you

Valid feeling about it

I don't think those guys have got left.
There's a company.
It seems weird.

No, I'd have to prepare thoroughly.
Yeah, I would too.
I would too. Do you know what I would do thoroughly. Yeah, I would too. I would too.
Do you know what I would do?
I would take... Spa weekend.
I would take...
You know you can take that stuff

Yeah.
So I'd write off the weekend
and just empty myself completely.
Like I was going into surgery.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
And then full clean.
And then you don't have to worry.
You're like, I'm fine.
I have cleaned the household before.
You've douched in the bath before.
Yeah, but not like you're preparing for a colonoscopy.
God, I might just...
In the moment, a finger goes in. You're like for a colonoscopy God I might Just in the moment
A finger goes in
You're like wow

A bit
A couple of days to prepare
You know what I mean
To be witnessed by a solicitor

Right.
I've only just remembered this.

That's not shellac.
Another one,
because we've got,
because Romesh has got.
It's not getting increasingly deprived,

For a middle act.

Interesting.
It's just very neutral,
and it's something everyone's got a strong opinion on.
Right, right, right.
But, like, you know, it's non-threatening.
But the thing with that is that that is a lying question,
isn't it?
Do you know what I mean?
Like, that's not something,
if you start a
conversation with somebody and you go what's your favorite crisp that's like you are you're almost

Living in Cairn
I have a word
and then we'll
let you go back

it's gotta be dirty
because it's all
we've done in it
all we've done is filth
so we're in the dirt
I haven't got anything else
I've got one about dads
I can't do it
this is from
Ann Anonymous
who's a lady
good evening and hope you're well that's weird This is from Ann Anonymous, who's a lady.
Good evening and hope you're well.
That's weird.
You need to have a word with my lad.
I like it.
Good evening.
Operator.
Good evening.
I've sent this email in the evening.
I assume you'll read it in the evening.
Good evening and hope you're well.
You need to have a word with my lad.
Every time we have sex, he thinks it's okay.
Can I just say, phrasing?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You need to have a word with my lad.
That sounds like a son. So immediately I think she's talking about her son.
Yeah, that's son.
Hang on.
Let's read on.
That could be the situation, actually.
How do I stop fucking my son?
It's time to have a word.
So do you want me to change it to boyfriend?
No.
She say my lad.
Read it verbatim.
Right, okay.
You need to have a word with my lad
who is not my biological son.
That's what she said.
Hi to Romesh.
Thank you for clearing that up.
Could you say good evening to Romesh?
Weird.
Every time we have sex,
he thinks it's okay to come all over the sheets without warning.
It's honestly like a full-on sprinkler.
Even had it in the eye a few times, it's not ideal.
I'm so over it as I need to change the sheets every two days.
We've been together 18 months.
What do you think about this?
P.S.
He also took me to see Adam Rowe's stand-up show in Glasgow in March,
and Adam called him ugly. Ha, ha, ha ha ha ha I didn't call him ugly I said he was punched above his weight in context of my routine about punch above my weight
do you remember him no I just know the joke yeah I know me show you weren't
like oh yeah that ugly cunt in Glasgow with the sprinkler dick and so is she
asked us to have a way with him because he keeps coming
all over the bed
yeah
all over the sheets
that's the breakdown
right
break it down
I think she's right
of course
she's right
yes
I don't think he agrees
yeah
oh yeah
I know I do agree
I just feel like
what's happening here
also I'm now
I think the face is because
I'm trying to work out
if in Glas,
like,
in like a sort of
Glaswegian
parlance,
lads makes more sense.
Yeah.
My fucking lads.
It's probably all right.
But it's just,
you're just hearing it
in that context.
I immediately assumed son.
Are my lads playing football next week?
What we will say is,
if you are fucking your son
him coming on the
sheets is the least
of your problems
yeah
that is quite a mum
thing to complain
about though
these sheets
yeah
bloody I don't
mind having sex
but these sheets
that's what I object
to
three times a week
I'm washing these
like a fucking
hotel here
black room illumination and you wore chicken nuggets afterwards Three times a week I'm washing these. Like a fucking hotel here.
Black room illumination. And you wore chicken nuggets afterwards,
didn't you?
Let's assume it's her boyfriend.
I mean, it is.
But it was great to assume that it wasn't.
I think just ask him to Stop coming on your sheets
Yeah
Aim for a leg
There's other places
Yeah
Yeah
Maybe if you could get something
Like a
I guess like a spittoon
That you keep by the bed
Metal
Metal
Like a
Yeah
Some sort of metal vase
That you know
Collective
Yeah
And then you just have to
On the beach
You come there you go
oh no
yeah
someone's just
come in the shop
yeah
my advice
would be
to buy him
a towel
that is specifically for his hand.
Oh, no.
Not you with your dirty towel.
What?
No.
Just aim for her.
She can shower.
It's efficient.
Have a little cum towel.
You wash it every whenever.
Every whenever.
Never.
Just use your underpants.
What? You take your underpants off
after
you wash them every day
yeah
I thought you meant
while they were still on
just pull them back up
yeah
just at the point of
relaxation
oh
quavers
I've done that before actually
I've had that train of thought
yeah because they go in the wash
every day anyway
yeah
about to
I wish I preferred
your spittoon.
Just slosh it out or whatever.
Oh.
However often.
You get a big one, you don't have to do it that often,
but the problem is, it's heavy.
I'm taking a bucket of juice downstairs.
Like a fucking witch's cauldron.
I'm going to put the tea on.
We're having sausages, mash and gravy thank you
do us a favour
you go and empty
the cum bucket
can you take out
the juice vials
it needs a rinse
