You all right?
Hey!
Hey!
Ow!
Welcome to the show.
Welcome to the show.
Why are you doing an opportunity?
I don't know.
It's not.
It's my Christopher Walken.
Oh my God, I mean, that was nice.
Oh my God, that felt right.
Did it?
I just love this voice and i
think i'm gonna do it more how are you guys hi welcome to have a word this is adam rao
and dad nightingale actually oh sorry row um oh how are you you're right yeah you're good quite
a quiet night went to watch the footy and went to bed.
Yeah.
Big gig last night.
We've got to tell everyone about.
Yeah.
Preston.
How was it?
My penultimate preview.
Pretty, pretty big.
People are like tweeting, going, Dan tells the story.
It must have been magical.
It was.
Got my favorite garlic bread from across the road.
Oh, yeah.
We went for the Chinese with Dave Chappelle and Jeff. I have not finished my Preston preview story, guys.
Sorry.
You were at a gig.
I was at a gig.
You know, I'm from Preston.
Pretty important.
It's Dave Chappelle.
Chappelle.
Chappelle.
Chappelle over your word.
Is he from Liverpool?
No.
Am I from Preston?
Yeah.
So last night,
there was a bit of
WhatsApp magic going around,
wasn't there,
while you were at the game.
Did you find out at the game?
Yeah.
So tell us what happened because, I mean, it's pretty magical.
Even Laura's like, what the fuck?
She saw it on Instagram.
Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock are doing a show tonight
on the 1st of September, as we are recording on the 1st of September,
at the Arena in Liverpool.
So he was in Liverpool last night and he asked Hot Water, could he go down and jump on at the very in Liverpool so he was in Liverpool
last night
and he asked
Hot Water
could he go down
and jump on
at the very end
of the show
and they were like
ah Phil Chapman
is booked in though
okay
we'll ask him to do
ten minutes less
he had to fill
for like half an hour
Phil
Phil had to fill
he'd done well
even Dave
whoever the host is
fucking fair play
for Phil
and for half an hour oh so phil
chapman was comparing yeah oh and he had to where was smith he's on tour he just wasn't there
how weird is that oh it was still full low like it's not normally fought but they were only doing
one show oh i'm sort of gutted for smith yeah yeah now his life's good yeah his life is pretty good he's probably sat in
his lamborghini he's fine probably sat in his lamborghini eating shumais
is that what he does now he's now he's made it just driving around in his shoe mice these
shoe mice displease me another shumai he has an an actual shoe my maker that just follows him around
um so dave spiel went on uh you say jumped on that as a very liberal he didn't jump on did he
he did two hours well he went on and did like 20 minutes on his own and then went oh um i've got
the roast master general with me jeff ross is here let's get jeff ross on and then they
were on stage together for another hour and a half right um just a combination of every now and then
dropping an unbelievable punch line or like two minute bit and then absolutely eating a bag of
shit for five minutes at a time so i looked at the shots uh looked at the picture that you put online and it
just occurred to me that there might be some people in that crowd who were just like yeah
we're going down comedy on a thursday and i have no real idea what they've just seen some american
lad and his mates came on because the because the crowd was emptying out because people had to get
buses and trains at some point yeah chapelle like assistant, I assume she must have been,
was like,
Dave, apparently the bus system here is shit.
Like, you're going to have to get off stage.
And he was like, no, I don't.
If people want to go and get the bus,
they can go and I'll still be gone
when there's only four people left.
Yeah.
But because of that,
Dave Chappelle walked hot water.
It's like we just sat there with him just talking.
Preston was good though, yeah.
That was the bit where i got fomo i will never cancel a one-man show i've waited too long to do them and last night was the best preview which is nice because i start the tour on saturday
and i always get a little bit of fear about hometown gigging because it's not like liverpool which is your hometown
which is a city which is where you've made your career i left preston and i go back there
occasionally and there's been some pretty bad gigs and when they're bellens i said this last night
i feel very responsible for the bellends i'm like oh god you're my bellends i went to school with
you you're probably my fucking cousin when they're like it's fucking painful
and last night they were the opposite they were absolutely perfect i ran the show out and i nailed
it like i got it it's a funny one because if you're a punter you might not you will get it
there's days at work where you're just on your fucking metal there's days when we're in here
where we stop recording and go well that was just middle of the bat every time and that that was how
last night was.
And I saw you all going to, you were like,
I'm leaving the match early.
I knew.
I've never done that in my life, by the way.
Dean was like, fucking hell. And we scored a 97 minute winner.
I know, but still.
Oh yeah, yeah.
I have too.
I have too.
I had to, I didn't get FOMO at all.
It was fun.
But that, that bit, now I've got FOMO.
Do you know, I had a wonderful little personal moment, by the way.
I know this is so stupid, but I was at the back, like,
stifling and laughing at myself at how ridiculous it was.
Because he was on stage, he was maybe an hour and 20 minutes in at this point.
So I started, you know, by the sound of the hot water,
that's where I was sat.
And then I went into the bar, got a Diet Coke,
and I went and stood at the other back bit.
You know, like the recess. Where the old was your green rumors where the old green room is
Oh, yeah, so I might have forgotten about that green room like right right sort of yeah
Yeah, yeah in the middle of the stage by that like sort of by the door
And I forgot there's like a safety light so obviously I was little and there was a the people to like stage left
It was like a to them and I, I seen her like go to his bed.
Fuck off.
Adam Rose.
Dave Chappelle.
Jeff Ross.
And it just,
it sent me head west.
That is.
That's like literally say Messi and Raquel May.
And then go fucking hell.
Lee Trundle.
It was funny being in the green
me and Steve got there
in four minutes
after that WhatsApp
and the green
you got a new car
tomorrow
the green room
was busy
busier than usual
and everyone was like
smirking at each other
and people would turn up
just coming like
why are you here
but I said
no reason
I always pop down
to see my pals
on a Thursday what had happened on a
wednesday what had happened was so they go on they do an hour and 45 and they were literally a mixture
and they were talking about this on stage they were like it chappelle went i'm gonna tell every
comic in america they've got to come and bomb a hot water this is the right we're gonna make this
the club in the uk he's like because this is what we're supposed to do he goes we go on we fuck around and we just bomb and figured it out he's like so he went if you want to leave
you leave but we're just going to keep going i'm having fun and he'd get another beard he'd order
a shot of tequila and he was just doing what what he wanted to do well he said that's how they relax
he went thanks for letting us do this this is us us chilling out. You're just here to watch. Yeah.
It's very, very, very self-indulgent,
but you can self-indulge when it's after the show and you're giving the audience the option to leave with no.
If anyone stood up right in the middle of the front row and left,
he didn't even mention them.
He didn't even go, where the fuck are you?
He just went and started talking that way.
He even said I'm walking the room, but fuck it.
I missed a magic.
Yeah, it was.
Special.
So there's so many things here.
There's so many things.
That's so un-British.
It's so un-British.
Yeah.
And who are the only people in Britain
who are going to do shows like this?
It's us, isn't it?
It's us.
Because our podcast style is American.
No one has done
an American style podcast
until we started this
he was very interested
in this podcast as well
yeah
Jeff was as well
he's next time round isn't he
next UK visit
I don't think
Chappelle will ever do it
he's not a big podcaster
is he
well no he turned
Rogan down for years
Jeff Ross was a bit
more open to it
because Carl was
really pushing
I was shooting my shot
I kept going Dave you go what I go are you busy tomorrow when you go I ain't to it because Carl was really pushing. I was shooting my shot. I kept going,
Dave,
you go,
what I go,
are you busy tomorrow?
And he go,
I ain't doing it, man.
I was like,
Jeff,
you busy tomorrow?
And he go,
and he slowly get,
he went,
I'll give you my email.
Which he did.
Which he did.
Jeff Ross would be a fucking brilliant guest.
Here's what happened,
right?
So we come off,
he comes off stage
and we go into the backstage area
and Chappelle's assistant is like,
there can't be this many people back here. Like either I get Dave out the building now and we go into the backstage area and Chappelle's assistant is like there can't be
this many people back here like either I get Dave out the building now and we go or you get some of
these people out like we can't have she was like I know a lot of them are local comics and stuff but
there's too many people Dave's very worried about security if you want to all stay that's fine but
then we're gonna leave so a few people left and i was with my mate josh
so what had happened was me and josh had gone to match together we both parked our cars in tubrook
and when we left he went oh i'll just come in your car just give me a lift back to my car in a bit
so i went let's just go love i'll take you to your car and i thought that was the end of the night
so i take josh to tubrook and as i get there he's texted me and said where have you gone we're
literally sat around drinking and talking with Dave
and Candyman was there
taking pictures
Jeff Ross was there
Dave was like
I was like
I'm on my way back
who's there that we know now
who
is it
has it gone down to his
Rob Thomas
Simon Wozniak
Liam Bolton
Liam Bolton asked
one of the funniest
you know Liam Bolton's style
so we'll get to that
in a sec right but Vidal was there one of the funniest you know liam button's style so we'll get to that in a sec
right but uh vidal was there one of our listeners who like uh done some architecture for carlos
working with hot water and stuff and it dave's supposed just talking and asking questions and
stuff and i just sort of walk into this conversation but they're talking about have a
word as i walk in the room so carl goes- I made sure Have A Word was-
So Carl's like, yeah, it's called Have A Word.
And Sheffield goes, so it's pretty big, huh?
And Carl goes, it's the biggest comedy podcast in the UK.
And he goes, and what's the format?
And Carl went, well, the hosts just walked in.
He stood right there and he goes,
oh, hey man, you host the biggest comedy podcast
in the whole of the UK.
Oh my God, I'm going to take my pants off.
I'm going to take my pants off. I'm going to take my pants off.
Oh, I'm going to start wanking on the pod.
Keep going.
Keep going.
I'm not quite there yet.
And then he goes, he goes, he goes to me.
I don't want to pry, but are you making good money?
And I was like, well, yeah.
And he goes, so you can make money from comedy in the UK.
And I, as a joke, went, well, you kind of, you've got a podcast as well. And he goes so you can make money from comedy in the uk and i
as a joke went well you can if you've got a podcast as well and he goes look you don't have to but i
want to and then rob thomas with his fucking he's like yeah no come over here you're like 60 40 60
grand that's what like comedians make over here like they're doing the clubs now and she goes and
you can live on that and i went i'll just not i'll not put another chip in it i'll just let the conversation happen but then he was asking about it he then goes so do any of you guys work
in america and robert's got oh just just him actually and he goes oh so where have you worked
i went oh i've done the cellar gotham a new york comedy club and he's like and then
jeff ross comes back and then he goes the conversation's moved on
but he goes to jeff hey jeff you know this guy he works in america he's worked all over new york
and then jeff recognized he goes and i went yeah we met before a top secret comedy club and he goes
oh yeah i love that room but we're just sat around talking about comedy and the difference between
you know what was the uk in the us when so jeff went to me so who have you had on i don't know
we've had because he's working with Jimmy Carter
oh we've had Jimmy
oh great
and the names
I was saying
I went Shane Gillis
and he tapped
Dave went
you've had Shane Gillis
on
and Dave was like
that's sick
and then we've got
some big Americans
coming up
that we can't say
and they were impressed
by them as well
they were slowly going
okay these are
so what Chappelle said
about hot water
will have a knock on effect
for hot water
when Americans
because they've been patronized by the the goat yeah right the same happened with us with
jimmy carr jimmy carr was big for us because it was jimmy carr but it also made other big comedians
go well fuck if jimmy carr has done have a word yeah it's like it's like comics at that level want
to see that someone else's jimmy i didn't give a fuck he was the like it's like comics at that level want to see that someone
else's jimmy carter didn't give a fuck he was the one that was like yeah yeah you're doing good work
shane gillis is going to have that effect for us isn't it because gillis is one of the biggest
new names in stand-up like rogan's all over him like because he realizes who he is he's the next
big thing yeah and shane's going to have that effect I love the fact that we've had Gillis on
because that special
I've probably watched it 6-7 times
now, every time I've gone back to watch it
I'm like oh there's another 700,000
people have watched that YouTube special
it's getting bigger and bigger
because his new hour is a lot better than the special
oh my god
but it's
so Chappelle being at Hot Water has an amazing effect for Hot Water his new hour is a lot better than the special. Oh my God. But it's,
so Chappelle being at hot water has an amazing effect for hot water.
Like he said,
he wants to make that the UK club that people do.
Chris DiStefano's coming to Liverpool.
Like he put a poll up.
And I love Glasgow,
but Glasgow lost the vote.
And I think he'll do both anyway.
I would want him to do both,
but I love that Liverpool,
like,
and I imagine
it was some of our lids
getting on it as well
that helps
Liverpool gigging
we're going to be in Liverpool
the podcast
it's all
it's so beautiful
to watch
well I said
that to both of them
I said
because Chappelle was like
oh
Rob Thomas asked them
how come you're just doing
London and Liverpool
like most people normally do
Manchester
and Chappelle went well the guy at Live Nation
told me that
Liverpool was more my vibe
and I went
you are literally in
the best city
for UK comedy
at the minute
to be honest with you
but everyone's asked
this is really funny
everyone's asking them questions
people are asking like
Jeff Ross roast questions
Chappelle comedy questions
and it went silent
for a second
and Liam Bolton went,
hey, who's the fattest person you've ever roasted?
And he went,
this one's for you, Liam.
And he went, Roseanne.
Like immediately.
Do you know what was weird though?
I don't know whether you felt this,
and this might sound fucking insane,
it was weird how normal it felt.
I said that to him.
It didn't feel like it wasn't
like it was oh this is a surreal night this is mad it just felt like oh yeah chapelle's in town
and of course we got to have a beer with him because he's a comic yeah he's a proper comic
and also i think it's this i think now because like the amount of people who've messaged me
since last night going oh he's obviously doing the part he isn't he doesn't really do them
but because that that mentality
is in our listeners and us it's like oh a big comic is in town they're obviously going to be
why would they not want to we we we have only barely scratched the surface then he goes he
goes uh i want to eat can we go and get some food you missed a bit before you came back
so we would sit it was like i've seen the scene in the simpsons when everyone's sitting around
abe listening to him yeah it's. It's like an old fucking,
not granddad,
because he's not that old,
but like someone who's like wise.
Everyone was just sitting
listening to him like that
and he was talking about like
how important having one guy
in the community
or one thing in the community
to help it grow.
And I was sitting there like,
yeah, that's us, that Dave.
It was so sick.
He was like,
you just need,
he's like,
I want to find the new hot shit. I don't want to get people who've already made he's like I want to find the new hot shit
I don't want to get
people who've already
made it on
I want to find
the new thing
and he said
you know the community
has got one thing
that helps everyone
else grow
and I was like
that's our thing
felt fucking boss
yeah it's mad
he wanted to eat
so we were like
right we'll
the Mayflower
is normally where
we would go for Chinese
but it was shut
but there was one place
left open called
Chili Chili
no we went to
Jumbo's
Jumbo City
in Chinatown
so I
I told
his driver
where we were going
and his driver was like
okay
so they drove down
into Chinatown
we went
how big is his entourage
just
three vans
of big men
I text
I text Paul Blair
at one point
because Paul Blair
turned up
but at one point
he was still at the match
and he was like
Blair text me and said how deep is he
rolling and I said deep there's more
black people in this room than I've ever been before
there's four
do you know the wings
do the wings to Hot Waterby and access the
stage
he had two bodyguards there at all times
you know because he got tackled on stage.
He's very
very very
nervous about
that.
He's also his
best mate who's
doing a tour
with got fucking
slapped by
Will Smith.
There's been a
bad little run
recently.
We were going
to walk to
Chinatown and
he went I'm
going to have
to get the car
down because I
don't want to
get tackled
again.
And I was
like you're
not going to
get tackled
on fucking
Hardman Street in Liverpool, Dave.
And he was like,
I can't risk it.
He was in the front seat.
It was so funny to see.
Like literally just,
Dave,
we were still outside the Chinese
to see Dave Chappelle
coming down the street
and it like fucking
potted off his twat,
by the way.
Sorry.
He was potted off his twat.
He was potted off his twat.
Just rolling down the car.
I was like,
I was like,
what's going on? And he actually said it. He was like, man, I'm potted off my twat He was potted off his twat Just rolling down the car I was like I was like He actually said it
He was like
Man I'm potted off my twat
But where
Geoff Ross paid for the entire meal
For everyone
Yeah
And Rob Thomas was there
And Freddie Quinn
Oh my god
It was fucking magical
At one point
Geoff goes
Dinner's on me
And Rob went
You haven't seen how much I eat lad
And I went
I think he gets the gist though he's got a rough idea i was saying to adam
because when we got there the tannies was dead it was wednesday night it was 2 a.m or something
yeah and the fella who was they saw rob thomas walk in and think oh this is going to be good
no he was pissed off the owner was pissed off oh classic and think, oh, this is going to be good. No, he was pissed off.
The owner was pissed off.
Oh, classic.
And I said, what's happened is,
he's rang his wife and gone,
I'll be home in half an hour.
And she's gone, right.
And then he's rang back and gone,
I can't come home.
Dave Chappelle's come in.
And she's gone, you're chatting shit.
He's like, no, Dave Chappelle's here.
But we couldn't get pictures.
Like, you ain't even allowed to get your phone out round him like I was texting like this
and one of his
one of his boys came over
he was fucking lovely
to be fair
he went
you're gonna have to text
lower down
can you lower your phone please
he said cause like
don't even attempt
to get a picture of him
yeah
but uh
Jeff Ross and Candyman
took a few pictures
in the Chinese though
yeah
but they said they're gonna send to us
they're a lot
just big group pictures
okay you're talking about
a guy who
exists
in a stratosphere
we don't fully understand
do you know what though
I've got to be
100% honest with you
like
I want this to become
the biggest thing in the world
and I want to be able to sell
a lot of tickets as a comic
his entourage
and his whole life because
of it is so intense it put me off for a bit that him and jeff ross was so unbelievably sound and a
lot of his team were really really sound as well but there's an intensity to it and a nervousness
about everyone that i was like a suspicion that's got to be someone trying to fuck them over yeah
yeah he's got he's put he's to fuck them over. Yeah. Yeah.
He's put his trust
in these people
who literally put their life
on the line for him.
Well,
but I mean,
not to sound too
like wanky wanky,
but what's he done with you?
Like,
what's,
what have you done with Stee?
I'd never met Stee
and you got Stee.
Finn,
we employed because.
No, no, no.
But like,
if someone comes up to me
in car asking for a photo at Leeds Festival, Stee isn't going, no, no, no, no no no but like if someone comes up to me and Carl asking for a photo
at Leeds Festival
Stee isn't going
no no no
but I mean
no you're not there
I mean he was
I know you're not there
mate I reckon
Stee can throw
fuck in
I
but I mean
on the very smallest level
you've
your
your status has grown
what you're doing has grown
like
it's a bit different with you and me
because we started the pod together
but
you got your boy in
he got his boy in
like you do that
and
I imagine that
if that
had to grow
it's not like you go
right we're going to
security are us
you're going to go
to people
you're just like
we can all have our big black mates
to come and do it
like Dave Chappelle has
all of them
yeah
all
none of them yeah all none of them
yeah
or just get Rob Thomas
he can't
he's turning circles
very
very large
but I've done the same
with the tour
I've got Antonio and Rummy
and that's who I'm doing
the triple C with
and they're not like
my best mates
but they are
trustworthy
the kind of people you trust
and you know are gonna
I wanna bring my mates
with me on everything
Like
But it was
What do you mean
These were his mates
These were his boys
As in like
They don't seem like friends
These are staff
Oh
Okay
These are
Like
These security guards
Didn't go to school
Which apparently has hired them
From security at us
They were young lads
Who looked like they could
Kill all of us
With like one arm
And they were really
Really really sound
Really sound though
But yeah okay
Alright okay
So I thought the entourage was his
When you said his boys
I was like
It's his boys now
So they're sitting there like this
At all times
Heads on a swivel
Like they're eating
Without looking at what they're picking up
Yeah
Do you know what I mean?
Because I say I was like this
Because I got a sneaky picture
To be fair it's funny
It's Adam sitting next to Chappelle in Chinatown
That was before you knew not to Chappelle in Chinatown.
That was before you knew not to?
Yeah, but in the picture you can see the lad
in the background
and he comes over and goes
text with your phone down.
Yeah.
And I accidentally opened it
like on WhatsApp
because he sent it
to our group on WhatsApp
before we were told off.
And you had to go.
But no, Jeff Ross seen it
and went, don't do it.
Oh, did he see him?
Yeah.
He seen it.
He went, don't do it. And I was like, no, Yeah. He's seen it. He went, don't do it.
And I was like, no, I'm not.
I went, he didn't know.
And he went, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a bit intense, isn't it?
Yeah.
But I get it
because he doesn't want to go.
I, listen, this,
this is doing bits,
but that is.
That's what I mean.
It was a total other level
and I was like,
I don't know whether I could handle that.
Like he's the greatest comedian arguably of all time
he's certainly one of the most famous
if not the most famous comedian on the planet right now
and it just looks
like a lot of work
do you know what I do love about what he does
especially in this country the format
is very similar isn't it like
you are on the circuit for a bit
and either through being brilliant and people buying tickets
and doing well at Edinburgh or some agent signs you up
and then you do a tour and then you're doing more TV
and then you do a bigger tour
and then basically you're either arena big or massive theatre big
and do we see you ever again?
Some comics come down but it's basically tour shows
with supports that usually they don't know,
and they just go around and tour like that.
What I love about Chappelle, just as a comedy fan
who listens to American podcasts and watches a lot of that stuff,
he really fucks around with the form of what him live is.
Like, he does the shows with his mates.
Like, Chris Rock, Chappelle could do the arena on his own.
Him and Chris Rock doing it together is weird.
The fact that he's got Jeff Ross, who should really be on his own fucking tour.
And then you hear stories of him going to Rogue and like,
come to Red Rock this weekend, I'm doing this.
And he flies his mates to
do shows where the mates should be literally touring themselves and then and then just
disappearing and turning up to comedy clubs unannounced for like a whole two months that's
what I love I love the fact that they are messing around with what it is to be that famous that's
what comedy I think should there should be surprises to it.
Like, having you and Paul Smith both on a filmonic with me is not the done thing.
Like, comics don't do that, but I've seen it happen in America,
and it's a cool way to do it.
Me and Paul ended up on stage comparing a late show together a couple of months ago.
That doesn't happen over here.
It's just fun, and it should be different. and i guarantee you the people who were there that night when me
and paul went on stage together and then did danny mclaughlin's poem at the end they went away from
that night going we've seen something there that wasn't just another saturday night gateway the
comics are going through the motions me and paul are twatted and that might never happen again yeah
and only 200 people
got to see it in the room.
Okay, there's clips and whatever,
but if you weren't there,
you probably never get that again.
I've just remembered
one of our plans
for the year after next
and it's fucking around
with the form of what it is
to see live comedy.
Do you know what was great?
Someone asked him about the shows
he put on in his house
during COVID.
Yeah.
And he was like,
how much did it cost?
And he went,
oh, it cost me 7 million
for the mall.
And he went,
but it's the funniest thing
I've ever done.
He said,
I lost money,
but I was doing it to have fun.
Oh, you lost 7 million?
That's what I mean, yeah.
But I was like,
I looked at you,
you didn't look back.
I was like,
that's what we're doing.
We're losing money.
Yeah, we're losing 7 million.
No, but I mean,
we're putting money back into it
just so we can,
because you're like,
I just have fucking fun with it.
Oh my God.
Well, Preston was good though.
There was a guy called Mango
on the front row.
That was mental.
That was mental.
Yeah, his surname sounded a bit like Mango.
It's mad.
Mango.
Shout out, Mango.
That was Preston.
Nearly as good.
Do you know what I think, though?
Do you know, going back to them playing with the former fucking around and stuff,
I think as comics, like us and Vittorio,
and people like that who are starting to build their own fan base
but are actual comics as well.
I'm not talking about the people who just do Instagram selfie videos
and get the chance to do a little tour.
Vittorio has built a following for himself and just
had a phenomenal Edinburgh Festival run
by doing stand-up and podcast
that are facilitating his stand-up.
As comics start
doing that more and build their own fan base,
I think comedy clubs are going to let us
do what we want a bit more.
And it will happen a lot more over here.
And we, like, there'll be yeah. Do you know what I mean? And it will happen a lot more over here. And we like,
there'll be a night where you're closing the frog and I'll be off
and we'll be able to go to Jess.
Can we do it together and fuck about?
And she'll be like,
yeah, of course you can.
And four years ago,
that will have never been allowed or happened.
Do you know what I mean?
Do you know what I've got on it?
I haven't even started my tour
and I've been turning up to preview,
previews that I've sold out and
they're like hello you can feel it off them there is a cost of living crisis the venues are like
hi thank you thanks a lot like because there's not loads of acts selling out i i i genuinely think
if you've done it like this and you've got a following because people are like,
oh, really, right, you want to go and see you,
people aren't arsed about the way it's been done anymore.
Taskmaster does bits because it's very good,
but virtually every other vehicle on TV for stand-ups is a bit meh.
Everyone's bored.
Like, Mock the Week, they've finally just given up the ghost.
And it doesn't sell tickets.
So when you turn up,
I don't think some of these venues
fully understand how you've sold the tickets.
I mean, the Frog do.
But yeah, if you then turn around and went,
do you know what?
Can we come back here,
like, in a couple of months on a Thursday
and do this?
They're just going to be like,
absolutely.
Whereas maybe before,
they'd be like,
well, actually,
what we like to do on Thursday,
it's a bit more of a set sort of,
I don't, I think that's out the window now.
I think it's going.
But even phase one in Liverpool
where you were doing your new bit stuff,
I was bored in Dubai and texted him and went,
hey, can I have your availability for the rest of the year?
And he went, yeah, yeah, there you go.
What do you want to do?
And I was like, I just want to fuck around
and do some new stuff and he's like, okay, great.
And I went, right, these eight dates I can do.
And he was like, okay, so what three do you want to do and i went no i want i want the eight of them
and he went right okay can i get back to you i was like yeah he went yeah i suppose we could do that
uh do you think they'll sell i went yeah i think so and i put them on sale and they all sold out
within like 12 hours and i texted him like they're all sold out by the way and he was like
what and i went i mean can i add 30 standing tickets for each one he was like what and i went i went can i add 30 standing tickets for
each one he was like yeah and i texted him a few days later it was like september and uh
october have sold out the standing tickets right okay are we doing this every month from now on
and i was like no no no i'm just gonna do it whenever i feel the need to do it well i did
that with the very first phase one because i knew it because it's in such a great it's across from where hot used to be hot water used to be on seal street i only knew it
because dean had done the mild high live show or no not a live show he's done shows yeah he got
through through no he was doing a normal comedy through the through the jacaranda he knew them
and i went in and had a meeting with him on the wednesday i was like i really want to do
like sort of first tuesday of the month and the guy was like, I really want to do, like,
sort of first Tuesday of the month.
And the guy was like, cool, yeah, okay, we'll give it a go.
How many are you looking at? Whatever.
He's like, obviously you won't want to do Tuesday next week.
And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll give it a go.
And I don't have the selling power that Adam's got by fucking any stretch.
And also, it's not a have a word event.
It's just me.
I put it on the patreon that night i didn't even put it online and it sold out in it by the thursday like literally 24 hours and the message i did the same thing i was like oh
yeah that's done that tuesday and he was like oh okay that's great yeah it's for it's amazing
and uh and it's because of the support we get through
this but i like the fact that we're not going right we're gonna do this thursday friday saturday
every like it's special these i love the fact that there's one-offs drop in the tour runs for
a time and then it's done and then there's other ideas and like even how you and me compared blind
date yeah i've never done i've never seen anyone do that before.
And then how we compared Pins.
You compared the first half, I compared the second half.
Oh, that was a great idea.
I'm really looking forward to those Adam Rowan friends of Phase 1.
Like, the September ones will be great,
but that will be literally me dipping my toe for the first time,
and I'm going to sort of riff and try and find bits.
October, I've got Sarah Keyworth and Alfie Brown.
I'll probably put, like, a local act on as well.
But I'm looking forward to having three nights on the run
with the same two comics,
where we can all give each other a bit of try this, fix this, do that.
Sit around in the day and figure it out.
Sarah Keyworth is a phenomenal up-and-coming stand-up.
Alfie is one of my favourite comics and people on the planet.
And having both of them for three nights,
both of us, all three of us getting to just work it out.
And I've done a few of those Ask Me Anythings on Instagram recently,
as I'm sure you're all well aware.
And someone asked me,
why are you doing your new stuff not at Hot Water anymore?
I absolutely am doing new stuff at Hot Water.
I just wanted to do these shows in a room that isn't Hot Water
because I play that so much.
I wanted to have a different room to do these shows in a room that isn't hot water because I play that so much. I wanted to have a different room to live in.
Also, you do new stuff all over the shop.
I've just said that I'll do Danny Mac's got a new material night in Chester
and in the new year, I'll do that.
Yeah, you want to vary it a bit, don't you?
Yeah.
Oh, it's exciting times.
Holy shit.
Chappelle knows about have a word.
La la la la.
Let's have a break.
I'm going to touch my penis.
Okay.
Hello guys.
We want to talk to you about manscape.com.

It is the family pube trimmer.
It's an excellent bit of kit.
So Manscaped are calling it the smooth sack summer.

Some proper lunch

Sneak
Flavour
It's like a
It's like a
Zesty orange
It'll knock your tits off
Absolutely quality
Use code
Word 10
I love sneak
La la la
Yeah I've got a
I've got a theory about
Criminals
That's so good
You've got a theory about criminals Carl?
Yeah it's their names
They've always got criminal names
What do you mean?
Like
Before you said the name of a murderer
Ian Huntley
Yeah
Off camera we were talking about
It was Ian Huntley
You don't need to know that
It's a fun break
Fun break
But he's got a murderer's name Ain't he? Ian Huntley. You don't need to know that. It's a fun break. Fun break.
But he's got a murderous name, hasn't he?
Ian Huntley.
Do you know what I mean?
Do you not know what I mean?
I'm just wondering if you think you've got one.
Do you think Fred West is like a murderous name?
Yeah.
No, it isn't.
It's just because you associate that name with a myth. No, it is.
It's like Bam Bam, two syllables.
Fred West sounds like he lives next door to your nan.
Ian Huntley sounds like he does flooring in the village
Hunt
Ian Huntley
It's the Hunt bit you're talking about
Michael Stabby Gun
He was a fucking bad guy
No you have to watch out for him
Michael Stabby Gun
I don't know
Maybe he does give a credit when he's died
Name another one
Ian Brady
Sounds like a hair
Does it
1980s footballer
Because he braids it
John Wayne Gacy
Your theory
Carl
Your theory is
Stupid
It's bad
I don't know
It's bad
No
Because the name in your head
Like Dan Nightingale
Is it one
Right
I get the theory
I just don't think
I don't think it works
It doesn't make any sense
Whatsoever
And he's just refusing
No
In my head
There's like
Oh he's got the name
Of a bad guy
But does
Does that
Have you ever had it happen
Where you've heard
Someone's name
And gone
I don't fucking trust him
And then he's gone on
To murder people
Yeah
Because that's the only way
Your theory holds weight
Well everyone you're in
Year 9 with
No
Cliff
Cliff Murderspray
He was alright
Cliff
Murderspray
Cliff
Murderspray
How did you know Cliff
What about Tommy Shotgun
Oh he got thrown out
In year 8 didn't he
Tommy Shotgun
For shooting people
Two guns in the room
Get out the school
Tommy shotgun
stop bringing shotguns
to school Tommy
woo
I finished me sats
yeah I did shotguns then
yeah
he'd altered them
he'd altered them
that was classic
Tommy
maybe they're Tommy guns
oh they were Tommy's
lovely
I just think sometimes, like,
oh, he's got the name of a bad guy.
I think you're talking us to shit,
and you've realised it,
but refusing to take it back.
No, I haven't realised anything.
Ever.
Behind the scenes,
just before Carl put the camera on,
he was like,
got a theory for this section?
And we were all like,
this is going to be interesting.
Maxine Carr.
What? She's the exception that proves be interesting. Maxine Carr. What?
She's the exception that proves the rule.
Maxine Carr.
She sounds nice.
But she wasn't.
Was she in Emmerdale?
No, she was in Huckney's.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Myra Hindley.
Gisley Myra.
Myra Hindley.
Oh, my God.
You're just saying names of awful murdering cunts and going,
you see, in your head, it does.
Oh yeah, who's coming in later?
Mara Hindley.
I know what I mean.
Who's coming in later?
We didn't get Dave Chappelle,
but we have got a pretty interesting guest.
Is it the nomenclature?
Is that the word?
What?
Nomenclature?
Yeah.
French made the nomenclature.
The nomenclature.
Yeah, Peter Sutcliffe. I want you to say nomenclature. Nomen. Nomenclature nomenclature Peter Sutcliffe
I want you to say nomenclature
nomenclature
his alias I'll give you that one
the Yorkshire Ripper sounds like a bad guy
oh no I'm gone now
I'm starting to
what about the hillside strangler
the hillside strangler
the night stalker The signs were all there
Exactly
Yeah
Spring-heeled Jack
Who the fuck's that?
You don't know who
Spring-heeled Jack is?
Is he a basketball player?
Spring-heeled Jack was like a Stuff
Like a myth and legend
Amongst
In London
Yeah yeah
Years ago
Kill people on a pogo stick
But like
No
So there was a lot of murders
This is what I think happened
Here we go
Fact stream
Adam
So there was a lot of murders
And they were all attributed to this fella called Spring Hill Jack
Because there was stories of him escaping
By like spring jumping over buildings
No
You've seen
No
No
Before you talk
That's Scooby Doo
That's death on Scooby Doo
It's fucking Inspector Gadget
That's who you've got in your head.
Yeah, no, he killed someone
and then a helicopter came out of his hat.
What, helicopter head Ted?
Helicopter head Ted's a fucking nightmare.
He was nicking iPhones
and then be like,
ah, you cunts,
you haven't got a helicopter in your head.
Nope.
Nope, not real. Springfield Jack. who do you think spring eel jack is because i guarantee you i'm right by the way jumping over buildings you're guaranteed it
was a legend wasn't it it's a myth he obviously didn't really do that but there was a story it
was like yeah he killed him and he fucking jumped over the fucking gherkin the gherkin the gherkin. The Gherkin. It was a legend from the late noughties.
A long, long time ago.
Different time.
2009 to 2011.
You can't even imagine that far back, can you, kids?
It was a legend.
You've heard of Jack the Ripper.
Well, this was a similar legend from 13 years ago.
Springfield Jack.
Like, no one knows whether he was real or not.
I do.
I think his sound is not real.
I think he, you know, yeah, I think he was not real.
He fucking killed 22 people and then sprung over the gherkin.
Low on blood sugar sugar but these are facts
what about jack the hat
jack the hat
I think helicopter head
still got a lot to answer for
jack the hat's real
can we get up some famous
can you get up springy old jack
and see what the legend was
so you see that I'm not talking shit
if the gherkin is mentioned at any point in the
I don't know whether the gherkin was specifically mentioned
But he would jump over like
Oh he's got wings
What?
He's got wings
Springfield Jack
Yeah
1838
He was leaping over hedges and walls
And the gherkin
He's just like Ken Robert
Jumping over the gherkin. It's just like Ken Robert.
Jumping over the gherkin.

So, you've been murdered.
You're done.

Luther and Sherlock Holmes, that is the dream team, mate.

there is a pharmacy, and there's a security firm, which would be ironic, wouldn're in London. There is a co-op, there is a pharmacy,
and there's a security firm,
which would be ironic, wouldn't it?
You'd get like the co-op top shelf,
like chicken for your roast that year.
I know, but they'd be like,

All right, Dan?
All right, you're right.

We could have looted
I suppose
We were all
About that age
When the looting kicked off
In Liverpool
I remember being on MSN
Or Facebook
Whatever it was
I'm going to go to
Better Web
I'm just going to play Xbox Do you subscribe to that Like was I'm going to go to Better Web So I was like
I'm just going to play Xbox
But do you subscribe to that
Like if it's going to happen
Anywhere you might as well
Get yourself something nice
Errrr
No
No
No
Because I've got too much
To lose haven't I
Like
But when
I lived in Manchester
And it booted off
And there was riots
I lived in Manchester
City Centre
And I
I watched from my flat
I got stuck in town
And got locked in the cinema.
And then as we cinema cinema,
and when we kept the movies and when we came out,
I,
we were at our window,
me and my flatmate,
Andy Hunt,
we were just watching.
There was a massive JD sports and the fucking Scallies were like,
it was amazing.
You know,
when sometimes you see a flock of birds in the sky,
like there's weird formation of birds.
You're like, why the fuck is there like 10,000 starlings
going fucking mental?
It was like them, and then the police would come round
and raz round the car park, and then they'll be like,
and then they'd come back.
I sort of get it.
You're a fucking skint, unemployed, 18-year-old
who lives in an estate, who feels fucked off with the system.
I get it.
If everyone's like, fuck it.
Everyone's kicking the shit out of shops.
If you're 41 and you own a home, what are you doing?
Do you know what I'd do now that things are going all right
and I don't actually need it?
I would do it, but I'd do it like Robin Hood style.
Robin Hood style.
Oh, his name's, if you're just listening for the first time, Adam Rowe.
I'd go and get like a MacBook Pro and give it to a homeless guy.
I'm like, there you go.
We're going to apply for jobs now.
Nice one.
I'll edit my films.
Plug it into the fucking pavement.
What?
Plug it into the pavement.
You can take it to Starbucks, can't you?
I suppose.
I'm writing a novel.
About a murderer.
The acid bath murderer.
Old Bible John.
Stinky Pete.
That'd be good, though.
Just going around
giving stuff to people
who would never have a chance
to own it.
Get a Rolex,
give it to John on the corner.
He's like,
we only change.
I haven't got change, mate,
but I've got the time.
Right.
You should give a Rolex
to a homeless guy.
Yeah.
Who's literally sat there
In his own fucking piss
With a dog next to him
That stinks as well
And he's like
Look at that lad
Fuck him
Pepsi
Yeah
Probably porn it
Wouldn't he then
Yeah
It probably would
You're absolutely right
What did you do
With the Liverpool
Did Liverpool kick off
In the riots
11 years ago
Me and Carl Were at the front of it.
Yeah.
American Apparel got it.
American Apparel got it.
Yeah.
It actually did, yeah.
Me and Carl were throwing Molotov cocktails at passing policemen.
Do we?
At the window?
Listen, I know that there's loads of people listening on the audio,
but sometimes Adam Bullshit's slightly too much for his own bullshit tolerance.
And he just said that.
I just went.
Marlott,
the mojitos.
The mojitos.
God damn.
Marlott of mojitos.
Fucking sex on the beach,
you pig.
Whoa.
Ah.
Sticky.
That's where my problem with the pig scum started.
Oh,
here we go.
Talk is up.
Take,
you know,
talk about it.
Yeah.
You were trying to steal. We just wanted change. I wasn't. Talk about it. You were trying to steal fucking... We just wanted change.
I wasn't trying to steal anything.
You were trying to steal...
It's a social change.
Jet skis for toddlers.
Yeah.
You can't afford one of these.
It's fucking two.
I have a fucking jet ski.
I'm Robin Hood.
I'd probably do John Lewis.
Just to answer the question.
Yeah, you know you're older
when you want to loot like homeware
i know i'd be going the electrical oh i wouldn't yeah get myself a brand new coffee machine that
i'd have like 45 dyson fucking fans in my bedroom like the large hadron collider let me know
i'd be able to fly through the middle of them what's that um like it's like
jump what's it called like parasite not power what? Parachuting But you're just Like base jumping
Yeah but
They're in like a tube
And there's a massive fan under them
Oh yeah indoor
He's done it hasn't he?
Oh he's gonna do it
Indoor skydiving
Indoor skydiving
You could just do your own of that
I was told I couldn't do it
Because of my shoulder
So I gave it to my ex-girlfriend
And I'm like
Hope they enjoyed it
Have a great time
Legally obtained
Uzada home actually
Fuck the rugs in there mate
You know how expensive the rugs are
There is a
There is a like a bottom end
When you're looting
Where you're like
Dickhead you are not concentrated
In Manchester
The first thing that got booted off
Was in the Salford precinct
It was the cash converters
I used to do a bit about it on stage
Like aim higher Than the cash converters I used to do a bit about on stage like aim
higher than the
cash converters
where you live if
everyone's looting
don't be like
cash converters
what did you get
Dave what did you
get I got a
fucking flute
maybe it's just
people trying to
get their own
stuff back though
maybe there's a
nostalgia to it
oh no that's so
sad
it's going to be
full of people
taking their stuff
just want my
mum's wedding ring
yeah
maybe that's what it is no it wasn't though because I saw a guy walking out of town It's so sad. It's going to be full of people taking us to the park. I just want my mum's wedding ring. Yeah?
Maybe that's what it is.
No, it wasn't, though,
because I saw a guy walking out of town that afternoon when it had all booted off that evening,
and there was a guy walking past with a keytar.
That's not like a family heirloom, is it?
You never know.
Do you remember?
No, I do know.
You don't?
No, no.
A Scully walking back to Miles Platten
with a 1980s Yamaha keyboard
that is also a guitar.
He's not like,
this was passed down generation to generation.
No, but like,
it could have been his dad.
My dad was his key.
Maybe his dad's our player.
Maybe his dad.
My granddad was a...
Maybe it was his dad's
and he sold it
so that he could buy some heroin.
And now he's off the heroin
and he wants it back.
Yeah.
But he couldn't afford it
so he just popped in and took that.
Why didn't he take anything else? It's weird that he took that. I guarantee you it was a family heir it back. Yeah. But he couldn't afford it, so he just popped in and took that. Why didn't he take anything else?
It's weird that he took that.
I guarantee you it was a family alien.
Yeah, I mean, the other option is he's a fucking moron,
but that is the other option, that it's na-na-na.
He just wanted his keytar back.
You know, based on the indoor skydiving thing you asked,
would you ever go squirrel jump flying?
Say that again, in the right order.
Squirrel jump flying.
Squirrel jump flying. Do you know what I mean? As in the right order. Squiddle jump flying. Squiddle jump flying.
Do you know what I mean?
As in the flying squiddles?
Yeah.
And they have like the suits on.
Yeah, flying squirrel jumps.
Squiddle jump flying.
Is it flying squirrel jumps?
You mean the one where you...
You get wings essentially, don't you?
Like it's attached to your legs and you jump off a mountain
and you can fly?
Yeah. Apparently it's attached to your legs and you jump off a mountain and you can like you can fly yeah apparently it's safe
I defo want to
lose some weight
before I
trust in a
red bull
squirrel
flying squirrel
suit
but would you do it
I'd rather do that
than skydiving
because I feel like
I'm more in control
I trust myself
more than I trust
a parachute
no I what I I trust a parachute no I
what
I really want
a parachute
no
I just want
but I want
some instructor
behind me
you know
hopefully a gay
one
who's just got
a bit of an
erection
alright
you're safe
here Dan
yeah
I'm gonna do
it in Ecuador
you're safe
here
open your eyes
and you'll
experience something for the first time I've seen a TikTok about it the other day and I've not stopped thinking about it I think I going to do it in Ecuador You're safe here Open your eyes And your eyes You'll experience something
For the first time
I've seen a TikTok
About it the other day
And I'm not so thinking about it
I think I want to do it
You wouldn't do it
Can I just talk about
My Ecuadorian gay experience
Parachute
It's called a nest though
No
No
Parachute first
Then squirrel suit
I don't like the idea
Of parachuting
I like the idea
Of jumping through a valley.
Yeah.
Do you know how...
Hang on.
Just because I think you are insane,
how do you think the flying squirrel suit jump ends?
He thinks he lands on his feet.
He thinks he lands on his feet.
How does it end?
It ends with...
Parachute.
A parachute.
No, it doesn't.
What?
How do you think they land?
What?
What? It doesn't end with a parachute. What? What, does it just, like, it doesn't. What? How do you think they land? What?
What?
Doesn't anyone have parachutes?
What?
What, do they just, like, fucking army roll and land?
I think so.
I think you slow down towards the end.
You, like, pull up.
You just walk.
Or just... And then land it like that.
You've got no legs.
Yeah.
Your legs have fell off.
First time.
You've never...
Yeah.
I'll be strapped to a gay guy.
Thank you. You slow the heck down. You have the strapped to a gay guy. Thank you.
You slow the heck down.

That doesn't make any sense.
There's no parachute, though.
Finn's using the internet, guys.

You've got to make sure you pay that by midnight tomorrow.

yeah yeah anyway i felt like such a wally because i was like how did i you're not the first person
to do that i bet but but i was trying to obviously because I was with my fella I was like oh but let me look at the notes
because surely
there's a good reason
and you just
repeatedly
over the DMs
was like
this is where you're going
there was no mention
of Liverpool
no one's ever said
Liverpool
you always said
it was here
and I just scanned
over it
and was like
oh nice
I'm going Liverpool
yeah
sweet you would assume
it though. We are moving there very soon.
Yeah, fucking hurry up, mate, because this is a boot.
This is...
Do you know what I mean?
We're allowed to say it.
Have you never been here before?
To Runcorn? No.
Runcorn's lovely, yo.
We'd take the piss out of it, but if you
shouldn't have stayed In Liverpool really
You should have stayed here
But you fell
There's more to do in Roncorn
Honestly
You don't think that
He was telling me this
Michelle do you want the bullshit bell
I'll ding it for you
No it's like Lake Como
Yeah
Lake Chemo
Oh
As we were heading
I was like
Oh there's probably
Some really nice places
To stay around
He was like
When he was booking a hotel
Didn't you think
Where's near to the It is near It's a bit of a you know half an hour drive 40
minutes 40 minutes a little 40 minutes where are you staying uh you'll be long gone before our
listeners hear this so don't worry they're not gonna turn up i were i weren't worried just trying
to remember inside hotel oh okay yeah that's. Got a great roof bar. Yeah.
Go to the roof bar,
the sky bar.
It's good.
When I finally get back there,
I'll enjoy it.
Oh, you've gone fancy there.
Yeah.
You can see Runcorn
from that sky bar.
So you'll like it.
You'll feel it.
I can't believe
you've never been to Runcorn before.
It's like one of the seven
best things to do in the UK
if you're on a trip about it.
You know what?
I'm elated. I can feel it in in my system the runcorn's coursing through my
veins the locals as well because it's like everyone knows so much about the town you can
speak to everyone because no one's ever left in like seven generations oh that sounds like top
notch banter they've got a nuclear power plant what more do you want what yeah wow really yeah oh is it walking
distance depends how far you want to walk is that shit nuclear i thought it was oh i don't it's got
the big pipes like it is it's got big pipes it looks like the simpsons i was gonna say is that
what you're going on yeah it's gonna be hang, it's got a big pipe. Hang on. Carl's definitely not an engineer, but he's got big pipes.
Hang on.
So it's nuclear?
In my head, them things meant that it's nuclear.
It is a nuclear power plant.
Is that wrong?
It absolutely is.
No, it's...
In Runcorn, what are you talking about?
Hang on.
I'm taking the piss here.
I thought them big, like, Simpsons things.
You know the big fucking...
What, the one that's not in fucking Runcorn?
Any power plant that can double up as a skate park is nuclear.
Right, right, right.
Yes, is that Tellerfield?
We all had an aneurysm.
This is the worst fucking...
This is the worst travel board you've ever...
Welcome to Runcorn.
We're going to tell you some places that aren't here.
Stay in Liverpool.
We'll talk about power plants that aren't in Runcorn.
How is that not...
Paul, we can see you from the bridge.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have you been to Liverpool before?
No.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's proper.
Yeah.
That's why I thought I'd stay somewhere nice

wanting a bit of privacy and having just a little no it's not about privacy it's about stunting yeah
i don't want that so so so years ago so i used to live in new york right and i moved out there
as a model and when i was modeling in new y, that's all we did because you couldn't,
we weren't old enough to go out drinking because you had to be 21.
So you'd get these like greasy promoters that would be like,
do you want to have a good time?
And you'd be like, yeah, all right then.
And they would take you into these massive nightclubs, right?
And then all the models would be able to drink for free to lure in these like wall
street bankers to sit on the tables by you in the vip section so they would spend like four grand
on their bottle of black swan and um and you would be drinking for free and just sort of like looking
over them every now and again and thinking you wish you could do you know what i mean and just
you're in free to just make the place look good yeah you're like yeah that's great one time so sound grace yeah see i
don't want the status of it i want a booth with all my mates and i just want a single gin and
tonic you want to go to the pub thank you that's the pub adam that's why that's why i like the pub

back then
oh the noughties
it was well cheap
and you'd be like
how many pills you had
and dickheads were like
I've had 15 pills
and then you'd talk
to older pill heads
who were like
from like the
Hacienda days
who were like
they couldn't get
because their pill
was like they paid
10 pound for it
it was like a salt lick
it was like one of
them things you left
in a fishbowl
when you went on
holiday
you just needed a
lick and you're like
I was high for a fortnight and then by the time i was going
clubbing it'd been like the gangs had got involved yeah yeah exactly so it was a pound of pill pounds
of pill but also that's when like mushrooms were illegal for that little while that little sweet
window oh yeah mushrooms were legal yeah magic mushrooms Yeah Criminalised Yeah Well yeah yeah yeah yeah
You could go to like Camden or wherever
And like buy
And buy mushrooms
You know if you got caught
With mushrooms in your house
Magic mushrooms

yeah i've never done them so i don't know but i just thought mushrooms were mushrooms
i don't know yeah they look a bit scraggy yeah there was dried ones yeah or there was like really the the like if someone dealt mushrooms
this sounds so random but it's true they'd be like a bit wetter and like fresher and they were
always the best ones and then you'd have people like i put them in a tea or i try and chop them
up and i i was so fussy but i was like if we're getting high we're gonna have to struggle through
this because they know how i was like yeah you don't want to prolong that and then they get stuck in your teeth and you're i cannot imagine being on
mushrooms and having to eat a bolognese
the thing of night magic mushrooms in a bolognese as you start we're getting really high

And I'm like
You alright
How long's she been back
A week
Do you live back over here now
Yeah
Yeah
How long were you
You went over to do modelling
Yeah
And then you tried stand up
Yeah
Oh my god
I know
I thought I was funny
Because
I was hanging out with models
I was like
I was top notch
Banter coming from me here
I'm sitting in the room
Alight
But yeah
Then I started stand up
And I was like
Oh
Right
This is odd
Yeah
How long ago was that
Like
11 years ago
Oh okay
We're similar
I'm 12 years old Yeah What was it like Starting out in okay so we're similar i'm 12 years in yeah yeah what's what
was it like starting out in new york especially when you're english it was good actually i think
it was i'm really happy that that's where like my early years in stand-up were because i just think
it's like you've got you build a better community of comics this is in my opinion do you know what
i mean and like i just and also you can get to like
loads of gigs in a night there's no money involved no one's getting paid to do it so you get to like
fuck around and you're truly doing it because you're passionate about it whereas i feel like
here quite quickly it's like well can i get on telly and i've got to go to edinburgh and then
like making money and then you can get sort of stuck in your set quite a bit because you're
making money so you're not like playing around as much and you're probably not meeting comics on different levels the way you would
in new york in new york where people just pop in i've done new york twice i love the vibe right i
absolutely love it do you enjoy it yeah i think that's the only other place i've ever been on
the planet that i could see myself living yeah exactly i'll never leave liverpool unless it's
for new york Or maybe Austin,
now that it seems like every fucking comedian in America
has been moving to Austin.
Have you been to Austin?
No.
It's nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's all right.
I've never done stand-up there,
but I've been there.
It's all right.
It's a vibe.
But there's a lot of comics moving there now.
Yeah.
And I think that might become the new LA.
I think comics might leave LA.
Yeah.
Stand-up in LA is horrible, man.
Is it, yeah?
Yeah. Really brutal. So what's the difference? What's the difference between stand-up in New York new la i think comics might leave la yeah stand up in la is horrible man is it yeah really brutal
so what's the difference what's the difference between stand up in new york and because they've
both got tv and film going on there there must be producers knocking around everywhere i would say
that like i mean look people go to la for a multitude of reasons but they're all kind of
under the umbrella of fame and entertainment right right? And success is seen as fame out there.
So I think when you're in LA, you get a lot of people,
as far as the stand-up scene, might not necessarily be there
because they're that into stand-up,
but they're there using stand-up as a vehicle to sort of cast the net wide
and maybe something will stick in one way or another, right?
So they're doing stand-up but they're
also doing drama they're also acting they're also doing you know like improv and they're just doing
a bunch of shit and thinking fuck hopefully something is gonna stick here for six and they're
only really there because of the fame game right because that's that's you know that's the light
that brings you as the moth to it right but so So I feel like in New York, people are there to really try
and crack the craft, as it were,
because there's not much reward from doing it other than getting better.
Yeah.
I know exactly what you mean.
Do you know what I'm saying?
American podcasts, I think comics are that way as well.
Meeting comics out there, they're out on a Wednesday
doing three or four sets, and they don't need to be.
These are people who have got big hit podcasts, roles in sitcoms, host their own shows, they're out on a Wednesday doing three or four sets and they don't need to be. These are people who have got big hit
podcasts, roles in sitcoms, host
their own shows, they do something. They're out on
a Wednesday doing four sets because they're like, oh,
I want to get better at this. Ari Shafir moved
back to New York and listening to him talk
about the differences, like it
sounds like that if you're the purest.
That's why I love it because as you know
and all of our listeners, I'm obsessed
with getting really good at stand up
and it just seems to me
like if you really
truly want to do that
New York has got to be
the place to be
yeah
like you know
I haven't been there
for a few years
I said that to him
last night
yeah and I'm like
my plan is to go back
in October
and I was chatting
to my agent
and I was just like
I just feel like
I need to like
brush up my
stand up a bit
because
you just get a bit,
you can just,
you can get a sort of full sense of,
of self here because everything's quite safe.
You're making money.
It's going all right.
You can sort of like lean into your sets that,
you know,
that work there.
And I kind of miss like,
like me and Russell Hicks were chatting about this because we was at Top
Secret.
And then,
and then Mark come,
he's like,
Oh,
Dylan Moran's just turned up.
And he's going on.
Then Russell Howard's going on.
And we were like, fucking yeah.
Because then you're a bit like, you know, like gets you on your toes and gets you amped.
Right.
And that's what happens in New York all the time, which is good. Because you kind of want to have that moment where they're like, oh, Jim Gaffigan's just jumped in.
He's going to jump on before you and then
you want to sit there and shit yourself and go how the fuck am i ever gonna be able to follow that
you're not but it's good to try it out and like at least push yourself where you're like i'm gonna
give it my all and i don't know if you get that many opportunities to watch other stand-ups that
are at a much higher level than you and have to be on the same bill as them like
it's important these are kind of good not and not and makes me better on stage than the person
before me smashing it right sometimes you can't follow it i had to follow but you pat yourself
on the back for giving it a fucking try right yeah following schultz in front of his own crowd
in new york was not easy or you're oh, I did a good account of myself there.
I did better than I would have if he wasn't on.
Right.
A couple of weeks ago,
I don't know whether I even told you about this
or spoke about it on the pod.
I might have.
So forgive us if this is reposition.
I was doing the London store weekend
and it was the last show, the Saturday late show
and I had to close the late show.
And I was just done.
I'd had a panic attack at Top Secret
because it was too hot
and I couldn't get my words out properly.
And you know, it's your fifth set of the night at the store
and I'm like, I just haven't got this gig in me at all.
I'm just done.
And I'm like, I'm just gonna have to phone this in.
Just gonna have to.
And Baba Sunday was on right before me
and he absolutely smashed it.
And I went, well, I haven't got a choice now.
I've just got to go on.
And I had the best set I had all weekend.
When I did not have that left in me at all,
like it had gone.
I was already in bed in my head.
I was like, I'm done for the night.
I'm emotionally and like physically exhausted.
I just need to go on, go through the motions
and get the thing done.
And he squatted it and he come off.
And I went, what the fuck was that?
And he went, what?
And I was like, and he went, do you know who you are and i went
yeah yeah i do actually i'll be fine and i just literally dug as deep as i could went on and
overperformed every bit and i was like oh that's actually what i'm supposed to do at every gig
yeah i mean because sometimes i think when you're when you're doing gigs gigs gigs you can just get
a bit stuck in your own head and you're traveling you're on your own and then you kind of sometimes forget like my job is to make you lot laugh of course we know that but you know
when you watch someone absolutely destroy like bubble to that i've never seen him not kill a
fucking room right but you kind of i'm like oh yes like i want to at least try and be as good
or better than you that's important being on a bill with guys who have all phoned it in,
who all don't want to be here,
the old junglers negativity of like,
no one wanted to be there.
It's so bad for your stand-up to surround yourself with that.
To be on a bill,
especially if sometimes when you go on after someone,
if it's not a great crowd,
and their attention span's low or whatever,
but that's not what's going on there in top secret they're a great crowd he's going on
and smashing it but there's still a store this is the store good gigs in london proper gigs hot
water the gigs in new york i bet like there's still something in the crowd being around really
good comics who are trying brings it out of you doesn't it i'm sure the analogy works for so many creative things and
even sport like surrounding yourself with people who are making you want to be better because you're
inspired because you're competitive that's so good yeah yeah man it's that it's that healthy
competition do you know what i mean and i think if you're a bit too cocky you sort of like can
drop the ball a little bit or get too complacent and be like i don't want to i want to, I'm not asked. That is the most attractive thing about New York to me.
Yeah.
Is that you're always going to have to go on
after someone famous or brilliant has been on.
So who, of all the acts you can think of,
who's the one comedian who,
because they're brilliant or because they're similar to you,
who would make you go, oh, fuck.
Who's the one act that you would be like, holy shit,
this is going to be rough?
What, as in following?
Yeah.
As in say we were playing the Runcorn Arena tonight.
Right.
Do you know who it would be at the moment?
Jordan Gray.
Okay.
Because Jordan Gray is doing some next level shit, right?
We did the Pleasance.
I hadn't met her before.
And we did the Pleasance Theatre in London.
And I was like, all right.
And they were like, oh, she's closing.
I was like, I haven't seen her before.
I watched her and I was like, thank fuck for that.
Because if I had to follow whatever the fuck.
I've never worked with her.
So Jordan Gray is a trans comic who's just been nominated
for best show
at the fringe
but like four
like majority five
and a couple of four
side reviews
and just
absolutely blathered
the fringe
a show is called
is it a bird
fucking hilarious
right
so good
she
she sings
and as a comic
when you see anyone
get on stage with any kind
of instrument you're just like yeah all right then do you know what i mean this woman is
fucking a powerhouse and the comedy is on point and she's just she's doing shit that i haven't
seen anyone do and she's someone that like i'd in this, I'd be like, yeah, boy.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, I would shuffle onto the stage after.
Do you know what I mean?
And just be like,
everyone,
this is a palate cleanser.
Fucking relax.
Who's the hardest person you've ever had to follow?
Do you reckon?
Tom Stade.
Yeah?
Yeah, Tom Stade, who asked to go in the middle
at a gig in Manchester
on a Saturday night
just after Meat Van had come out.
Like, they knew that
it was him just as he broke and he was like yeah I need to go on in the middle I think the promoter
was like yeah because he's got to get somewhere and it turns out he just kind of fancied doing
the middle and he was just in a position where he could basically say I want to do it he wasn't
he didn't know who was meant to be closing so i got moved around and i tried my best i did that thing of like just try your best smash it and someone went
fair play that like as i came off went fair play gave that a good shot one as good as tom you were
good like and i think there are times when you have to be like, I didn't go. The worst thing you can do is go,
I should,
like even bitch at the crowd about it.
I mean,
this is ridiculous.
I shouldn't be here.
Just get your fucking head down and do the shift.
I'm sure I've been guilty of a whinge here and there,
but it's so much better when you go do the fucking gig.
You got to stand up.
And if,
if in the end you're like,
yeah,
Tom was better.
Like he was,
Tom stayed at his best.
You've got to move past that, man. I think you can do that in the first few years of standup, where you can kind of be like, yeah, Tom was better. Like he was, Tom stayed at his best. You've got to move past that, man.
I think you can do that in the first few years of stand-up
where you can kind of be like, yeah, the audience, the crowd,
blah, blah, blah.
But mostly, I think if you're honest with yourself,
it's normally something to do with you.
Even if you get up and you kind of decide,
definitely sometimes audiences can be a bit off and janky.
You don't know what's happened before.
But more than anything, if I've had a weird gig, I kind of know something is going on you've had a bad day you were late
you're stressed you're sweaty i'm sort of off beat i'm sort of in my head a bit i've decided
i was gonna go before i go on i haven't given it the right thought i'm not getting on stage with
the right intention i'm a bit pissed off my ego's a bit inflated something
is normally going on with me because when i'm like humble and like what i want to do is fucking
make these people laugh and i'm going on light and wanting to entertain people the gig goes
fucking well do you know what i mean but i will say in new york i'm being at the stands which is
like great venue but the people that would drop in in, I was about to go on stage,
they were like, Jim Gaffigan's turned up.
I was like, wicked.
So he went on and then they went, David Tell's turned up.
And I was just like, make it end.
Do you know what I mean?
Make it end.
And I went on and of course,
I'm not going to be as good as those guys.
Do you know what I mean?
But I'm honoured to be able to share the stage
and try my best to follow. You know what i mean but i'm honored to be able to share the stage and and try my best
to follow yeah you know what i'm saying and that's chappelle like we were talking because
chappelle was is in liverpool like last night and tonight and these guys were there last night and
he was at hot water what if someone had to fucking serious going on after chappelle dave
chappelle for two o'clock in the morning you didn't are we there yeah oh mate and we took him
there as well are you for real he has to
come on the podcast but we were like we've got michelle can you imagine i'd have been like ah
it's like that then oh you got dave chapelle here we've had dave chapelle just before you
you can follow yeah yeah yeah i'm like everyone seems really low energy and unbothered by my
he'd be hard to follow yeah yeah jesus especially
because he'd do two hours yeah that um last night he asked like me about working in new york and
he's like oh ask me where i played and whatever and i just said i went i think that's one of the
places i can see myself living at one of the few places and he went there isn't a comic that i
think is top level who has had a career that didn't go via new york interesting that's what
he said interesting so what did he order uh he he got uh it's probably called don't worry michelle
the salt and chili steak yeah with soft noodles and some shumais all right i'm getting that in tonight yeah very surreal experience did
it so did you watch the show was it good he very deliberately uh was bombing ah so he went on at
the end of the show so the show finished at half nine yeah he said i'll go on at 10 go and tell
the audience dave chapelle's in he'll go on at 10 so they all stayed so compared that to phil for
like 20 minutes 30 minutes and he went on
with Jeff Ross
so he went on first
and did 20
Jeff Ross went on with him
they did an hour and a half
together
and it was a combination
of them
just talking to each other
hanging out
and then they'd go
hey what about
remember when
Joe Biden fell off his bike
and they'd do two minutes
it'd be really funny
but then they'd spend
another five
just finding the next thing
they wanted to talk about
and bombing
just going
ah it didn't work
but everyone just sitting there like it sounds like a podcast with an audience but then they'd spend another five just finding the next thing they want to talk about. And bombing, just going, ah, it didn't work.
But everyone's just sitting there like... It sounds like a podcast with an audience.
That's essentially what it was.
Then they were doing stand-up within the podcast as well.
It was amazing to watch,
but it wasn't like he was ripping for two hours.
No, but you're watching the process, right?
Yeah, you're watching him in the gym.
Yeah.
He's literally going,
I'm literally doing this because I want to do it.
And people were leaving leaving and he's like
by the way
if you want to go
go but I will still be here
when there's only 40 left
he's like I'm going
until I want to stop
he's like so
if you want to leave
it's fine
I won't take offence to it
and people were standing up
from the front row
he was saying bye
he was going
like have a good night
thanks for coming
blah blah blah
and the room was getting empty
and he was like
take it easy
he's like I'm going nowhere
by the way
and he was passing
his spliff round
buying everyone pints while he was on stage insane fucking random in it
it was amazing i was in preston last night it was good it was dead good you probably heard about it
you've seen it on socials and stuff it was pretty big it was legendary i bought someone a lucas aid

That's what roller coasters are.
What?
Do you like the caterpillar then?

I just don't like spinning
Do you know what I mean
We were on the waltzes
At Leeds Fest today
And it changed my life
Really
Yeah
Did you have a drink
The waltzes
You had
No it was
Me, Carl and Steve Who's eating fucking Murray Mints now you cunts It was Seneca drink the waltzes you had me Carl and Steve
who's eating
fucking Murray Mints
now you cunts
it was Seneca and the waltzes
it was Seneca's idea
shut up
Seneca's idea
and she was right
it was incredible
Seneca and Iona
shared a waltzer
and me
Carl and Steve
all squeezed into
one waltzer together
and then he broke my neck
and I cried laughing
the whole time
really
it was so funny
you know what
you know I can't do waltzes yet.
When I was a kid, I went to Tunisia.
Like my mum took me and my brother and I went on this janky fare ride
and I ran out of money.
So I gave this guy my Nike hat for unlimited goes on the waltzer.
But I thought it was going to be like one go and I could come back
and then have another go.
And he just kept me on there for about 20 minutes.
And I was just like, on there for about 20 minutes.
And I was just like,
I'm done,
bruv.
Like this is,
it's really hard to say get off when there's like G-force clinging you to the fucker.
I was just like, I'm done with this.
I honestly,
I wouldn't get on like a carnival fucking,
what the rickety ones,
but in Tunisia,
Tunisian carnies must be a whole new level of fucking dangerous.
Yes.
That's like one death
an afternoon
they're like of course
yeah
yeah yeah yeah
exactly
that's the extra show
collateral damage isn't it
it was absolutely fantastic
at Leeds Fest
it was like what
do you ever go on the wild
do you ever go on the wild mouse
what
fuck off
is it called the wild mouse
was it
do you ever go on the wild mouse
in Blackpool
yeah
it was the most dangerous ride there
but that's why it was fun
because you didn't know
if you were going to come off they've had to shut it yeah they had to shut it it was made out of wood
there's a picture of our jack on that with my dad oh my god yeah i've seen it and like so you're in
like a sort of a box like where you sit sort of on a little step in it and my dad's like sat there and our Jack is fucking in the recess.
It was terrifying.
Have you seen the video, old video?
You know what, the ball, there's two seats.
It's like the opposite of a bungee jump.
The slingshot thing, yeah.
The slingshot.
And the fat kid that starts slipping out.
And the woman next to him and he's going,ice janice and it's just the g-force
of his fat little tub is pulling him down and she's laughing it's so beautiful there's loads
of them like with people's wigs coming off or people being like passing out yeah yeah and come
to and they're like and then pass out again. I don't like being upside down. Ever.
Do you know if I drop something
and it goes like under the couch
and you know,
you have to like get upside down
to have a look under.
It takes me about 10 minutes
to recover from that,
you know.
Mate,
upside down to look under the couch?
Or like under your bed.
Do you ever hang off the bed
to get something from under the bed?
Yeah.
Yeah,
that takes me a while
to recover from.
I honestly thought
he was going to say,
once it's under there, I just don't look.
Once it's fallen under there, I was just like, that's it.
He buys a new phone.
Oh God, well that's gone.
Do you know what I mean?
Like when you have to sort of go upside down
and the blood rushes to your head.
Yeah, but you can just like lie down on the floor
and like look underneath the,
like I'm just sort of like, what are you doing?
Do you sleep in a bunk bed?
Like what are you talking about?
Like just lie on the floor and. Do you doing Do you sleep in a bunk bed Like what are you talking about Like just lie on the floor
And
Do you think if I slept
On a bunk bed
Do you think I'd be
Hanging off the top bunk
To look under the bottom
I'm just wondering
How you're hanging off
When you're upside down
I'm like how high
Is your bed
Okay
Got it
Got it
Got it
Got it
It's too much for you
I'm going to be quiet
For the next five minutes now
Because that has hurt me
Yeah
Roller coasters are fantastic.
No.
They're just,
like,
you're just putting yourself
at risk of death.
No, you're not.
That's kind of the thrill,
isn't it?
That's the thrill.
I don't need that thrill.
Give me an ice cream.
Well, you don't.
You don't,
because every time you bend over,
that's the risk of death as well,
isn't it?
Like, I've got enough, mate.
I've tied my shoe laces today.
Shoe laces?
Ah, I said laces wrong
bastard
so annoying
shoe laces
I just don't understand
why I don't understand
horror films
why are you watching
something to be scared
to feel alive
I love horror films
why
to feel alive
I love it
you know why
because I think
I went through
before I started therapy
I was so emotionally flat
that I needed something
to feel
excitement
watch a romcom
watch nothing kill nah I wasn't doing it I needed something to feel excitement. Just watch a rom-com. Watch Nothing Kill.
Nah.
I wasn't doing it.
I needed something.
Do you know what I mean?
No, I don't need that.
I'm a very emotional person, Michelle.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
So it's too much for you?
If I watch a rom-com, I'm like, oh, isn't this lovely?
But a horror film is just too much for me.
It's sensually overloaded.
Now I'd probably be all right,
but I think there was a time where I was so like emotionally flat do you know what I mean
so when you started doing therapy were you sort of disassociating what was what was the thing that
yeah I think I just wasn't that connected to how I felt I think I'd been like suppressing the way
I felt for so long that like I'd watch horror films on my own just to sort of like you know feel but i suppose then
that's the healthier reaction then if you're like i don't want horror films because they're dead
scared that sounds more emotionally tuned in with yeah if you're like yeah i'm gonna shit myself up
fuck off eat a muddy mint and leave my emotional videos what so low. Do you watch sad videos? What? So like someone's like oh look at this dog it's got no legs
but like he's happy.
Do you watch them?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sick of people.
I don't watch them.
There's a sad video
I watch almost every time
I'm on Gover
of a man and woman
on their wedding day.
No just the woman sorry.
Yeah.
So.
Clip it.
Yeah.
This is true.
So what happened was
the bride's dad had died
and her favourite song
was Butterfly Kisses
do you know that song
yeah
right
so her brother
because her brother's got like
her brother's got quite a good voice
yeah
he recorded Butterfly Kisses
for her
right
and they played that
as her first dance
because her dad's not there
she's dead
I know
the brother
her uncle and her grandad all danced to it instead and it's all there she's dead I know the brother her uncle
and her grandad
all dance with her instead
and it's all emotion
she's sobbing the whole time
how do you watch it every time though
have you got it saved
have you got it
it's on YouTube
right so you type in
I just type
I type Butterfly Kiss's
wedding dance
and then
but like what's the fault
behind it
so you're already
you're hungover
so you feel like
I think I just take comfort
in knowing that
other people have gone through
more difficult times
than I'm going through
fucking hell
oh my god
and then I watch
holocaust videos
you know
because I'm hungover
as fuck
but that was well worse
Jesus Christ
turns out
emotionally tuned in
it's question marks
question marks
Michelle we get asked for advice a lot because you can tell Jesus Christ. Turns out, emotionally tuned in, it's question marks, question marks.
Michelle, we get asked for advice a lot because you can tell we've got our shit together.
So people...
People really want to hear from us.
He's a sage.
He's a wise, wise man.
I am good at giving advice advice i'm just not very good
at taking it i bet you are i mean because you're emotionally it's very true yeah yeah yeah and it's
true isn't it you are awful at taking advice but i'm really good at giving it i normally know the
right thing for a friend of mine to do yeah yeah i can believe that yeah uh this lad says agony adam
wag wag lids so i've recently got back from spending
two months in germany with work while i was over there i got chatting to a bird from scotland
online when i got back to the uk i went up there to stay with her but when i got to her house it
became apparent that she's a fucking meth like there must have been at least a month's worth
of rubbish on the kitchen units i couldn't bring myself to clean it for her
um and i'd need at least two gas masks to even get in there and start it's fucking grim fast
forward a couple of days and it was so bad i ended up cleaning it and it was honestly worse than
anything i've ever done she's really nice but oh she's put a fucking scruff what should i do cheers lids anthony i'd say what's the fanny
saying do you know what i mean what what's the fanny saying like is it as filthy because
clearly there was no indication suited to this podcast no but i'm just saying like clearly
there was no indication right as someone who's gone down on my fair amount of women,
you know, right?
So if there was no indication to the fact that
her house is a fucking dirty shithole,
that you've already been sleeping with her
and whatever, whatever, whatever,
and then you clean the house and it's still disgusting.
Like, I think he's just not into mess.
Cool, safe.
You can either have her come and stay with you yeah wipe that
memory from your head and just get stuck in to the minge question or question what if she just
comes to your house and scruffs your house up well you think you can sort of keep on top of that but
i am 100% with her i would much rather a woman clean a fanny than a house do you know what i'm
saying you know what i'm saying like if we're
talking about importance here yeah bro you was in germany having a time of your life with her
and then you went to her house but like if everything the opposite is so much worse yeah
if she if you walk into a girl's house and she's like take your shoes off and then she's got
fucking a fucking rotten fanny that's horrible isn what would you prefer you can't you can't
listen you cannot have everything yeah and this is the thing these guys sound like a perfect match
she's filthy he likes cleaning i don't see what the problem is yeah so what he needs to do
to his house wherever the fuck he lives
and just do your things
and like send her home
with some flash wipes
or whatever.
Yeah.
For her house and her fanny.
Like,
me and this girl
would be a really bad match
to be honest with you.
Right.
Because my house gets
a little bit messy sometimes
but I clean my dick every day.
He is.
He is coming out
as a fucking cunt.
Every single day.
Every day. Every day. Every day. No, even on the Shabbat. I close my dick every morning. he is he is coming out every single day every day
every day
every day
no even on the Shabbat
I close my dick every morning
even on the Sabbath
he cleans his dick
what
you're not getting a medal
for that
everyone does that
yeah
are you surprised
really
no I was taking a piss
do you know what I mean
you should be doing it
every day to clean it
wow you're a hero pits and bits Do you know what I mean? You should be doing it. Every day to clean it.
Wow.
You're a hero.
Hit some bits.
I just know what women want.
Do you know what I mean?
A clean dick.
It's one of the things.
Anthony, the wisdom.
Isn't it?
Isn't it?
I'm great at giving advice.
Clean your dick. Honestly, regardless of what the sort of vaginal cleanliness situation is,
I can't do this.
What, you can't?
I can't.
You can't.
Fucking look around this office.
Are you for real?
I know.
You can't.
You just fucking broke your tooth on a soft mint.
Are you all right?
Are we all right?
I'm going to get that fixed.
I'm going to get a flash wipe for it.
All right, so you can't do that you you this is why
i want the uh studio tidy because then people come in and judge me it's a disgrace i've only
got three teeth left just make my end of life care nicer who are you talking to there you
get fucked we're just do you know what we need a cleaner in the new office
email this guy back
and tell him that you got a job for him yeah what look so you i couldn't fuck someone that was
scruffy you couldn't no yeah but he's already fucked her yeah i know but how is he gonna keep
doing it when you're like you're beautiful even if she's beautiful and she's gorgeous but you're
like oh my god just get over just like i bet in bedrooms a fucking state do you know what it's
true though because like I remember like
especially when I was younger
like sleeping with them
fucking basic
little hackney boys
do you know what I mean
and I'm a graphic designer
I ride a fixed bike
nowhere
go rock climbing
at the weekend
cool
and then you get to their house
and you're like
you ain't got any toilet roll
I'm drying myself
with a t-shirt
I'm wiping my noon
with that centre bit
of the toilet roll
like I'm not coming back here
I'm not coming back I love how your attitude to that wasn't i'm leaving it's joe i'll stay for now
but i might fuck coming back i'm not coming back i hope you had a good time when you see this face
you ain't seen it again bruv when you have to dab piss with the cardboard bit of the toilet roll
oh that's not good you know what i mean you know what I mean? Yeah. Thanks.
Yeah, all right.
Okay.
All right, so you're saying... I honestly, I don't know how it...
It's not sustainable.
Because what's the end game?
Marrying a fucking pig.
Nobody lives together and she learns.
Yeah, people can change, Dan.
And she's got roommates as well.
She's got roommates.
It doesn't sound like it.
It sounds like she's got mice.
That's a win. Someone, no flat flatmate she's obviously doing all right maybe she's very busy paying her
rent or mortgage ah that's what it is she's a fucking mcscruff i don't mind it me no of course
you don't mind it because you're just for a while yeah but like i think i'd be bad for there because
i i've had that in relationships before I'm like
I'm fairly tidy now
like if I notice
it's getting a bit messy
I'm like I need to do
an hour or two
and sort this place out
an hour or two
what do you call messy
just like
I procrastinate as well
right
so that hour
is probably
20 minutes of cleaning
but
it takes me an hour
to do it
cleaning or tidy
this is how Adam
cleans
Aya can you come
and do some cleaning
no
two hours gone
no
fuck off
yeah
no my cleaner
moved out three weeks ago
no Dan
no Dan he puts it
in bin bags
in the garage
and someone collects that
I haven't got a garage
anymore
shame on you
he's got a big window
fuck the projection
on that
yeah you know
but when I've been in relationships before
I've had arguments with the women I was with
where they're like you're the scruff
and I'm like no you're the scruff
she's like you haven't moved this
I'm like you haven't moved that
that would be me in here
because I'm better at tidying on my own now
do you know what I mean
I keep on top of it
if I've been away on tour
I'll come in
empty my suitcase
and fill it back up
and I'll just like
it'll be messy do you know what I mean until I get come in Empty me suitcase And fill it back up And I'll just like It'll be messy
Do you know what I mean
Until I get a couple of days
Where I can source it out
Your ass is a dirty shit
Oh innit
No
I tell you what
Do you know when I get back
To my flat in a bit
No he tided it last week
So it doesn't count
Did it
That'll be
Enough time to mess it up
My flat's sound
The thing is as well
When you live by yourself,
you do crusty shit
that you would never do
if there was someone else there.
Do you know what I mean?
Porrezo?
Yeah.
For example?
You know, just like,
just leave your shit everywhere.
Do you know,
you might sort of put it back,
but you know,
sometimes I'll make toast or whatever
and I'll just leave everything
that I've taken out of the fridge
on the side
because I think
I can do what I want.
It's yours?
Yeah.
But do you then put it away?
Yeah, eventually, of course.
I'm more prone to putting it away now that I live on my own.
I don't know why.
Proud.
I think I've grown.
Yeah, sounds like it.
Emotional growth.
Is this the day of what Adam wants to be in his head?
Wag-wag lids.
This is for you, you'll love this.
Been with my missus for six years
and have slept with
one person
other than her
we got together
late teens
and now we have a mortgage
so the commitments are real
I am very much in love with her
and happy with her
saving for a ring
that level
however
had a weird conversation
with my sister the other day
and she's concerned
that I'm not going to
experience my twenties properly
and I'll end up doing
fucked up shit
down the line and break up the family like my dad did gambling house gambling the house away and cheat
and just some random examples it has put uh thoughts in my head about missing out on things
like traveling and shagging about life is short don't want to spend it in the confines of my house
just because it's safe and sensible to invest young and be happy with the love of your life just run just wondering what you lids think about that not so much car because i know he and
suarez have been together since reception um not only look it isn't is it car oh god hey come on
man you've said the name wrong uh looking forward to seeing dan in leeds then the whole sexy gang at
the trump rally in de. Cheers, lids.
So, been in with his
missus for six years. Only slept with one other person
and they're young and they're going
committed early 20s.
Do you know what I would say? Any worries?
Don't underestimate the power of love.
Where's Adam?
What have you done with him? I mean, mean if you found the love of your life yeah
you've won yeah you've won is it isn't it weird that he's saying i've met the love of my life
and i'm worried that i'm gonna be missing out but it's not even what it's not even him that's
it's his fucking sister who's there who sounds dirty by the way she's probably
not had the
best time with
guys and is
projecting some
shit on him
that's then
making him want
to think maybe
I should do
that now
totally
so what you
need to do
is stop
speaking to
your sister
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
Fill your water with cordial And it'll get thicker
Yeah
She sounds like a problem
Love cordial
Stick it on me
Cheers
Right now
Blood is thicker than water
My ass
Stick cordial in your water
And it will be thicker
And then you've got orange blood
What?
What did you say?
Yeah I thought so
I think his sister is absolutely spot on
Shag about
Live your 20s
I'm throwing it out there
he's made the love of his life
you daft squawk
he's like 25
he's gotta be under 25
how do you know
what the love of your life is
at 14 or whatever they are
well I went to the clinic at 19
I did this
no but I've done this
and I'm happy
and it's fine
you can be happy
it's like he says
to fuck off
yeah but he specifically said
I'm not arsed about Carl thinks
because him and Luis Suarez
have sound off
I'm not arsed about Carl thinks
because he's doing the same thing shut up the thing is as well right is that like yeah you
can go you fuck about most of it would be mediocre you have a couple great shags a couple really
shit ones you have some stories to tell your mates that's it that is it though that is literally i
i've done a bit of fucking you know pokingoking about Anytime Can you not do it like that
This is how I
This is how I finger the two women
I'm with at the same time
Because that's what he does
In the clubs
That he's always in
I know
Monday night
Finger night
At his big booths
Drinking bitter
Whoop whoop
Yeah
Alright
But literally though
Like that is what
Like what life is about
Hopefully
If you can find love
Finding someone
That you're fucking into And you feel supported by or you can go and fuck around do what i did
which is sniff one giant line around manhattan and fucking party my ass off and now i'm fucking
tired and in therapy so it's up to you mate you's so many similarities manchester manhattan different but
let's you know yeah but you see now you're in a loving relationship and you're dead happy
yeah so you've had both and what i'm saying is i've had both stick your dick in everything
fucking time and you know what when i think about it, like it's taken me a while to meet someone I'm into.
But up until then,
I was still pining after people that I dated in my early 20s
that I would truly had a connection with.
But really I was like,
but there's more soggy cock out there.
I want to try it.
What have you met Laura when you were 25?
That's like my internal monologue.
What?
What have you met Laura when you were 25?
I would have fucked it up.
Exactly. And he's trying not to. Is 25? I would have fucked it up. Exactly.
And he's trying not to.
Yeah, so why is that?
I'm to fuck it up?
Exactly, man.
Because you just got it later on?
You know why?
There's loads of Lauras.
No, I'm joking.
I'm joking.
Oh, man.
I'm messing about.
But for real, though,
obviously you're with someone
that you're truly connected with, right?
But don't we all think of someone in our early 20s or late teens that you're like truly connected with right but don't we all like think of someone
in their early 20s or late 20s that you
broke up with because you was just like
I'm the same in the world and actually
years later you do think and you go
you know what that person was actually a
fucking good match for me but because I didn't
have much experience I didn't trust
my instincts you know what I mean
you second guessed them because you didn't
you thought that you needed to go through more stuff because you didn't trust my instincts. You know what I mean? You second guessed them because you didn't, you thought that you needed to go through more stuff
because you didn't trust yourself yet.
I have got this exact person.
Back yourself.
That's what I did.
If you'd have got with them,
you'd have divorced them by now
and be with who you're with.
No.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What?
There's no one that springs to mind for you for that?
Like, wait, like obviously you're married.
She was a bad meth.
I think about this girl once a month at least.
Thank you.
And I bet now you're like-
We were never together.
I passed her on the escalators on the tube.
But like, I just knew.
Do you know what I mean?
You just followed her around
and there was a restraining order,
but it's like, ugh.
Love.
If it wasn't for the courts-
Love.
You like taking this seriously.
Right?
This is my fucking podcast
and you lot are making an absolute mess of it
i could be in liverpool now but i'm not i'm fucking wrong um i i think stick with it
stick with it lad because here's the thing i'll tell you right now i'll tell you right now
tell you right now listen look right here right here ignore him right here i've zoomed into your face
if you if you fuck this up right and you he zoomed it fuck everything if you fuck this up
and you fuck everyone else live for me listen you'll regret it because you'll always think
what if i had a commitment to that and she'll get that happy she'll have a couple of kids with
someone called bruce or something and you'll hate bruce because he should be you should be bruce you know what i've got one more
thing to add to this maybe what he needs maybe what he needs to do is reassure his sister that
he is still going to be just as close with her when he gets married because i wonder if that's
the root of this his sister planting these little fucking seeds is actually her fear of abandonment
because her dad abandoned her
and he's the man in her life.
So maybe what he needs to do
is just reassure her
and go,
stop being a toxic little cunt,
all right?
I'm not going anywhere.
Well,
if we're doing proper answers,
that was the one.
But I'd also say,
fuck everything.
Your dad sounds like a ledge.
Shagga
disgusting
just
sticking in loads of Suarez's
and the joke about
lots of Laura's
was a joke
how many podcasts
I love you baby
Dan's wife does listen to the podcast
you're my everything
genuinely
if I'd have met my wife
ten years before
I'd have just
ended up losing a good one.
But you don't know that?
Because it could have just been the one where you go, oh.
Let me have a look.
Yeah, I do.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Why?
Yeah, because I was wanting to stick my willy in it for the soggy things.
Why are you pointing to me?
Because I referenced it.
So you'd have felt them things and gone, oh.
I was in Manhattan clubbing.
This is the main soggy one.
Monday night.
So do you not think there's anyone you could have met back then?
When it would have just changed who you are?
No.
You're soulless.
What?
Just fucking everyone and taking pills.
Oh God, it sounds so good.
Honestly, those two things don't go together.
I mean, As a lifestyle
Do you not take pills
And fuck now
I mean
You can
But in my experience
You have to have
Bolognese first
You've got to have
The bolognese first
From before
That was from before
Alright
Shall we close this one off
With
Now I'm just going to say
In brackets Because We sniff bullshit around here This one's a bit far fetched with, now I'm just going to say in brackets,
because we sniff bullshit around here.
This one's a bit far-fetched, but it's kind of fun.
So let's just assume that it's, but it is a bit far-fetched.
I'll try and assume that it is.
This is from Anonymous.
My mum's friend recently died.
Oh shit.
Hang on, don't press that.
We don't know whether she's a cunt, yeah?
My mum's friend recently died of cancer
and she wasn't a dick.
I didn't go to the funeral,
but I came home to my mum crying about it.
She also had been given a little tube
with a cork in the top of her friend's ashes
to sprinkle in a place she saw fit.
A couple of nights later,
I had my mates around as my parents had gone away
his mates
and also the line
of Hilda
what unfolded
was what I could describe
as a bit of a
catty night
when I woke up
in the morning
after I saw the tube
was open and empty
thinking on my feet
I filled it
with white sand
from our garden
and a little bit of dirt
and it looked
exactly the same
do I tell my mum
that we spilled the ashes
which isn't 100% true,
but still not great,
or never mention it to her
and let her have fake ashes in the mantelpiece forever?
Yes, yes, lie.
Yeah, lie until the day you die and then tell her.
Yes, and then take the hoover bag
and sprinkle that somewhere.
Do you know what I mean?
So you've done your bit.
But like, yeah, lie. Never tell your mum, mom your grieving mom that you've snorted auntie linda did they snort it or
did you knock it over you can't be snorting people i think he's snorted it yeah smoking it'd be funny
yeah they've had a catty night and they've seen something they've been like that's more okay
yeah you can't be sniffing people.
Her name was Kay as well.
Oh, that's not the worst.
She was in a K-hole.
Oh, words.
Yeah, I'd take that one to the grave, wouldn't you?
Yeah, what do you gain from telling your mum?
Nothing.
I think the truth is very, very, very important.
If your mum ever asks you, did this happen?
You tell her the truth.
Yeah. Because she's asked then. Yeah. Because that is a lie did this happen you tell her the truth yeah because she's asked then yeah that is a lie yeah withholding the truth you're on trial here until the fucking
the prosecution asks you the question don't be fucking dobbing yourself in yeah and also it's
to relieve yourself of guilt but it's not going to do anything to make your mom feel any better
it's selfish to tell your mum. Exactly.
Yes.
Here's one problem.
This sounds like a come down email.
It's just like,
it'll pass.
Don't worry, mate.
What if snorting your mum's dead friend
is the best high
you've ever had?
That's the problem, isn't it?
Get a new job.
Oh my God,
get on Janice.
That is bad, isn't it?
If you're like,
oh, that's the best high
I've ever had.
That'd be the worry.
Because how do you fund your habit?
You have to kill your mum's mates.
Just killing a middle middle aged cancer sufferers
but if you are
going to do that
you're going to need
a leg of lamb
hey
awesome eyes
with the dealers
on the street
I've got fucking
I've got June
Beryl
anyway
yeah just
you've got to die
with the lie here lad
yeah
sorry
yeah no one wins
except for you
and you don't even win
you just feel a bit better
yeah
yeah but not really
because then your mum's
just gonna be gutted
yeah she'd be more sad then
yeah
just forget about it
yeah
even if she
even if she opened it
which you'd never do
because why would you open it
she's not gonna notice
is she
also what
the only way your mum
will ever know
is if she goes to sniff her
if your ma's like
I'm gonna have a fucking a little bit of fucking Margaret here Is if she goes to sniffer If your ma's like I'm going to have a fucking
A little bit of fucking Margaret here
And then she goes
