You can't take anything that might seem a bit gay, can you, ever?
What do you mean, like a cock on my ass?
Okay, it didn't have to be that extreme, but a compliment.
Or a drink that has three different elements that you have to order.
Five seconds?
No, no, no. No, just for the listeners and the viewers, just before we started,
Ishan, with a wry smile on his face said i like

That's true, Dan.
That's true.
That's a good one.
If I like your hair, I'll be smiling

Because of your face.
I was talking about my face.

It's a compliment.
In what way is that a compliment?
How's that not a compliment?
That's negative.
You wear your size.

It means whatever you want it to mean.
What did you mean by it?
You carry yourself very well.
Right.
For your size.
Yeah, that's the bit he's a bit iffy with.

Yeah, well I'm looking forward to seeing it
It was fun
You took me for authentic Like, did you get a doll curry and i i was told i had to order the the most authentic
thing on the menu and then he ordered a chicken madras and i said in front of me that's authentic
isn't it no apparently a madras isn't a real thing there you go i'm glad he's learning it's
taken fucking i mean i don't agree with him but i'm just saying this is a real thing because he ordered it and that's it yeah but it's not like a
it's not something you can get in india no way no even if it's a madras in india and ask for a
chicken from there they'd say we're vegetarian oh is madras an area of the country yeah yeah
and they haven't even got madras no mad isn't that mad so that's is that a british thing yeah like balti is another one
balti means bucket and a bucket is what you shower from
where's my dad?
He's in the Balty

Shall we have sex in the Balty?
Is he hungry?
Or has he fucking just finished work
And needs a wash?
Do you ever piss in the Balty?
Yeah
I always piss in the Balty
Always having a piss in the Balty
I don't like pissing in the shower
Why?
It's a real turn off for me
If people do it
You're trying to show
Turn off?
Yeah
How many people are you in the shower with?
That you're trying to fuck?
Well
You're fucked
What's wrong with pissing in the shower?
I just don't think it's very hygienic
Why?
It literally goes down the same hole as the toilet
No it doesn't
Yes it does No because the toilet hole Is in a separate place down the same hole as the toilet no it doesn't yes it does no because the toilet
hole is in a separate place from the shower hole so whatever goes on your shit doesn't go down the
same hole as in the shower as it does in the toilet in the shower it all ends up in the shower
have you ever shown the shower um i've shit myself and then had to get a shower
but have you ever gone into the shower and thought,
I need to have a shit and a shower,
I'll just do both at the same time?
No, I shit before.
That's fucking disgusting.
Oh, that's disgusting, but pissing in the shower isn't.
Pissing in the shower, it's just...
There's worse stuff on your body than piss
when you get in the shower from your day...
Like, there's poo on you now.
No, that's my colour.
Oh, please, God. now no that's my color oh please god we've been going for less than 10 minutes

Yeah
Didn't you
Have you not seen that study that was done
You know those self-service screens in McDonald's
Yeah oh yeah
They've got loads of fecal matter on them
They tested them
And every single one that was ever tested
Had shit on it
And you telling me that you don't think there's shit on the card machine
Fucking read it in Greggs
I pay by cash
What's shit on the card machine? Fucking read it in your legs. I pay by cash.
What's shit on my cash then?
Oh my God!
How much shite do you think's on your money?
How many hands have been on that?
It was fresh from the ATM. Money never gets washed.
They were fresh notes from the ATM.
What, brand new?
Minzed this year?
Did you have to press the buttons on the ATM?
Yeah.
Can't tell us.
There you go.
But I pressed it with my left hand
so you've just got
to put it on your left hand then
oh my hearing aid
is beeped
which means it's going to
die in a minute
so I need to change
my hearing aid battery
at some point
oh we can't do that again
you've got enough
we might just have to
take a break now
so for those who
I've got a battery here
Ishan came in
when we first moved
into the studio
he did a
a Patreon episode
with us
because he was just in
town so we were like come and do the the patreon record with us and the night before his hearing
aid battery had died and i've never seen a man look so lost when he couldn't hear he looked like
a dog waiting to be picked up at the groomers. Just like,
where's me owner?
You back?
No, it's not even that.
You weren't scared.
You just looked
like you were
full on.
Do you know what?
Because not being able
to hear is
very embarrassing.
It's not embarrassing.
You shouldn't be embarrassed
to show off your body.
You are what you are
and you're a lovely man.
Apparently I've got loads
of shit on my body
so I should be embarrassed
of my body.
Also, do you know
shower water?
That used to be piss.
Yeah, I know that, but it's been cleaned, hasn't it?
Shower water used to be piss?
Yeah.
The water in your coffee used to be piss?
All the water we use is reused from all the shit and piss that we do.
I refuse to accept your hypothesis.
Why?
Do you know what the water cycle is?
Is this factual?
Yeah, but that's not the same thing is it
it used to be
it is
no it isn't
because it's been filtered
through mountains
and rain
and all that sort of stuff
it's not the same thing anymore
it's like saying
this used to be a tree
it didn't
sorry
are you suggesting
that you had a shit in Liverpool
it goes through the Himalayan mountains
and finds its way back again
purified
the water cycle
yeah
you learned that in geography
it gets purified don't't it gets sorted out yeah but
it's not just piss it was coffee grounds it's just not it was piss and shit at one point yeah
of course it was yeah yeah so this stuff has been done to it it's been separated from the
from the stuff that makes it piss and shit so it's therefore not piss and shit anymore imagine
who's got that job it's not a job it's a job of the ecosystem it's a natural for the
question do there's a water crisis there's always yeah i haven't stopped talking about it all me
what it is isn't that we were talking about it last night yeah the water crisis yeah firstly
we said to each other you're watching the telly at like 11 o'clock in the morning the advert is
you know we need water yeah water can't leave the earth the water cycle where does it all go
evaporation and then it comes back again
that's the water it doesn't rain enough but where's it going then into space no
water cycle what are you talking about where's all the water going right okay so it's not just
there's no water it's that there's no clean water there's no clean yeah exactly no because it's not
getting purified through the human air no Because it's not getting purified
Through the Himalayan mountains
Because it's not
Going through the
The system it needs to go through
To be clean
Drinkable water
But also surely there should be more water
Because you can't just drink sea water
Climate change is real
There we go
Then the glaciers are melting
Exactly
There should be more water
There is more water
It's just not drinkable
It's all in Devon
You absolutely pay it
No
You can
You can drink glacial water surely
Of course you can
It's probably the cleanest.
It is the cleanest.
You can take a chunk off it.
It's covered in polar bear shite.
What are you talking about?
Everything's covered in shite.
Like a slushie, just like a bite.
Get a bit of syrup on it.
I'm just saying, where's all the water going?
It's not going anywhere.
It's just not clean.
No, no, no.
I'm with you, Carl.
There should be more water.
I think this is big water lying to us.
It is?
This is big water trying to get-
Evian are fucking in our pockets, mate.
Yeah, just trying to get more money out of us
because you can't tell us there's climate change
and the glaciers are melting.
Nothing's changing.
And then say there's not enough water.
Yeah.
Why does Evian taste like milk?
They're not-
It fucking does.
I didn't know this until Adam told me.
Evian Is basically milk
Did we do this
On the podcast
Or was it just in person
It was in person
It's true
Evian does taste
It's very
It's got a lot of calcium in it
Yeah
So it tastes very milky
Honestly
Next time we drink it
Think about milk
No
That's not true
Because what's happened is
Is you're
Psychologically
Because you've seen The word calcium on the thing.
No.
No.
Because he told me and I tried.
I was like, oh shit, he's right.
No, because that's because he told you.
I only know it's got more calcium in it
because I looked on the label
to see whether it had any fucking milk in it.
Yeah.
Because it tastes that much like milk.
I was, he went, wow, this is cal-ser-ific.
And he looked and it was full of calcium.
Yeah.
So you said it was cal-ser-ific.
I said it was cal-ser-ific.

I don't think I'm particularly well-spoken.
Did you just hear yourself say that?
Yeah, I did, yeah.
I don't think I...
I...
So, do you know how I learnt to speak English?
Do you know the story?
Because I didn't speak English until I was seven years old.
I wasn't allowed to speak English in my house until I was seven years old. I wasn't allowed to speak English in my house
until I was seven years old.
That's great.
In England?
Yeah.
He was born in London, Carl.
I was born and raised here.
I was just emphasising that he was in England
and he wasn't allowed to speak English in his house.
In my house, my parents said,
you can't speak English,
you have to speak Bengali, Urdu and Punjabi.
But you obviously couldn't understand them
Because you hadn't learned English
What was the middle one then?
I said Bengali
Urdu
What's that?
Urdu
What's Urdu?
Urdu is the language of Pakistan
Right
That's why they speak in Pakistan
What was the last one?
Urdu
Punjabi you said didn't you?
And Punjabi
We also speak
But that's from a region in
So that's a dialect
no it's another language
okay
it would be like
English and Scouse
Scouse is a dialect
that's true
Scouse is a dialect
it would be like
English and Gaelic
yeah okay
yeah okay
so
in my house
I wasn't allowed
to speak English
because my parents
were insistent
that I learn
the Asiatic languages that they grew up with then my mum heard me speak english to my mates
and i had a bit of a east london essex turn up all right mate how's it going at seven yeah
like daddy die a fucking hill all right going to school got me backpack you telling me what you're doing surely you're made
to go to school
isn't it
oh I'm got
I've got my backpack
yeah we know
I'll have to be more
I'll meet you for 20 minutes
where are you going
I'm a historian
how's it going
I love English
you know
because I can speak
here anyway
so then
my mum heard me speaking
she was not happy
at how I sounded
so she
took me home.
She got her favourite book, which was Wuthering Heights.
And she made me read it aloud to her like I was on radio.
And any time I swallowed like a tea or mispronounced something,
she'd hit me with a stick.
Was your mum the original Jo Jackson?
Yeah, the original
Sing, motherfucker
So that's how I learned to speak English
Wuthering Heights
Yeah
With a stick
Right, okay
I would go as far to say
That if you'd only just started
Speaking English
Handing you Wuthering Heights
Is quite the baptism of fire
Read that then
We had Biff, Chip and Kipper I could speak English Because I was going to school you Wuthering Heights is quite the baptism of fire. Read that then.
We had beef chip and kibbeh.
I wasn't going to school in East London going,
I wasn't there speaking.
What the fuck did that mean?
That means, what's going on? Everything alright?
What's tikka? Tikka, everything alright?
So chicken everything alright?
Chicken shower.
Have we just taken the piss?
TK.
Say it again.
TK.
TK.
You alright?
TK.
TK.
But there's chicken TK, isn't there?
That's what Carl's saying on an Indian menu.
Does that mean chicken everything alright?
Yeah.
There's a Sri Lankan, it's called Chicken 69.
No one knows where the 69 is from
It's called Chicken 69
It's a dish
What?
It's a dish
No one knows
You know?
I don't know either
You've just told us
69, Chicken 69
That's separate from Chicken Tikka
Right
But no one knows what the 69 means
No
But that's a widespread dish Yeah And no one knows what the 69 means no but that's a widespread dish
yeah
and no one knows
why it's called that
no
it's not got like 69 herbs
and spices in it
no
I mean that'd be busy
wouldn't it
yeah that'd be very busy
but it's got
there's a different origin story
as to why it's called chicken 69
go on
I don't
I can think of one
it's Sri Lankan
yeah
sex
that's the obvious one isn't it
sex moves
something sexual sex moves sex moves right I can think of one It's Sri Lankan Sex That's the obvious one isn't it Sex moves Something sexual
Sex moves
Sex moves
Right
But chicken tikka
Is that genuinely chicken
Everything all over
No
Because tikka
Well actually
The Asian way of pronouncing it
Is chicken tikka
And tikka
Is different from tikka
What does tikka mean
Tikka is like
Little pieces
Cubes
Chicken cubes That makes sense Yeah It does make sense Yeah Why I mean, the guy's like little pieces, cubes. Ah, chicken cubes.
Oh, that makes sense.
Yeah, it does make sense.
Yeah.
Well, why when I come on this one,
because I'm not the Asian rep.
We're not asking you.
You brought it up.
I know.
I said, no, but we're learning.
It's I love learning.
I actually asked you about what Bengali animals were there.
I don't know anything about white people.
I'll do it after you go on.
Why is he? Why is he? Why? Bengali animals were there? Do you want to know anything about white people? I'll do it after you. Go on. White with a whitey.
White with a whitey.
White.
Why do white people
serve such shit food at weddings?
That's a very good question.
I had gay food at my mate's wedding.
I agree with you.
Yeah, wedding food.
I mean, I know you were doing it as a dig
rather than a question.
No, it was a dig. It was a question.
I think it's just... I think people, they go for what they think is fancy food
because they think it's a fancy event.
And then fancy food ends up being a bit shit
because the reason it's fancy is it's not very common
and people don't like it because they've never had it before.
Like dauphinoise potatoes.
The fuck is that?
You love them.
You love dauphinoise.
They're just not, yeah, but I'd rather have chips,
wouldn't I?
What,
creamy chips?
No,
just chips.
Okay.
Chips or roasties.
Creamy chips.
Yeah,
I agree with you.
Breakfast food should be the food of weapons.
That'd be unbelievable.
Well,
they do a whole gross towards the end,
don't they?
It's not breakfast.
I mean,
but they don't always do a whole gross towards the end.
Like,
there's normally like a bit of a buffet.
I want to do, like, if I ever get married,
I'm going to do a McDonald's or something.
Just get a massive delivery for everyone towards the end.
Really?
That'd be fucking great, that.
Or get a doner kebab in.
Or a spit.
A little spit.
Do you know what I mean?
Get a doner kebab in and a little grill to do burgers.
Not takeaway burgers. See, what I want to do is takeaway stalls i want to have like a pizza stall
yes a bit of choice yeah i'm gonna get let people yeah but pancake store crepe store
bucket store yeah here's a question for you yes nice um you like a drink we booze quite a bit yes
if you were to get married would there be alcohol saved at your wedding
knowing that your family are coming?
After 8pm.
So usually nowadays,
when you go to a Muslim wedding
or an Asian wedding
where the bride or groom will both drink,
what they do is they have an exit time for older people.
Wow.
So they're not offended.
So on the itinerary of the day,
they're like 7pm
If you are
An aunt or an uncle
Do they know why?
Kind of
But what we say
What they put on there is
For your medication
For your health
It's better that you leave early
What happens if they go no?
Yeah because if they see
Everyone getting on the fucking
Lines of Lemo
They'll have a fucking ass
Yeah exactly They've already got High blood pressure as it is anyway most of them so at like so usually around
seven eight o'clock that's when everybody leaves and then the young ones stay behind and have like
is it a bigger drinking culture now in like young muslims it's the the people that i know there's
always been a bit of a drinking culture like my uncles all drank because they were wealthy
successful so
yeah there's a massive
it's no difference to Christianity really
there's people who are seriously devout
like whatever and then there's people who are just
sort of like yeah that's my religion but
after my mum died I found her stash of
like bloody Mary ingredients
under her bed
little bottles of vodka everywhere.
Really?
Yeah.
Show the dad I'm small.
Huh?
Show the dad I'm small.
Yeah.
And they're both dead.
It makes it even funnier.
It makes it even funnier.
Yeah.
So yeah.
And then
I've seen my uncle
on my mum's side
they all like
drank whiskey
my mum's actually
used to drink
and beat the shit out of her
sorry that comes
out of my mouth

audition and it was like there were so many people there throughout the course of them my dad went fucking like there were so many people there
Throughout the course of them. My dad went with me. There were so many people there throughout the course of the day
There was a noise there's a noise on the roof
there was only without the day and what they did is they break up the day and
like a producer or something would come into the room and just kind of entertain everybody for a bit and
My dad would get up and dance and gp pull up whatever whatever we're about half an hour away from the audition
and one of the producers walks up to my dad and has a long conversation
we go in for our audition my dad kind of follows but as i go into the room with my dancers my dad goes off to another room right with this
woman so what's going on we do the audition it was fine my dad comes back i was like dad what's

My dad's had a lot of issues with Usher, actually.
Because when my dad was a paramedic,
he used to work at what was called the London Arena.
And at the London Arena, he was kind of walking around.
And we got near the toilets.

And there was a big entourage of people.
And my dad went in for a piss into this toilet. And he came out and he backstage and there was a big entourage of people and my dad went in
for a piss
into this toilet
and he came out

Lisa Scott Lee
Faye Tozer
Liam Scott Lee
Lee Letford Evans.
And Ian H. Watkins.
Ian Brady.
Not Ian Watkins the...
Ian Watkins has sued several newspapers
because it is Hatred from Steps,
but his real name is Ian Watkins,
but that's also the guy from The Lost Prophet,
two bum kids, isn't that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And there was articles written about The Lost Prophet's guy
that used the photograph of H from Steps.
And he was getting death threats on the internet and everything.
Because everyone was like,
the fact that you're still allowed Twitter
when you've gone to prison for doing this.
He's had a lot of hate mail.
But H also looks like he could fuck kids.
No, he doesn't.
He looks like the most gentle man on the planet.
That's exactly why.
H stands for handjob.
What? H stands for handjob. What?
H stands for handjob.
I wonder what the H does stand for.
Hyperactive.
Harry.
No, it stands for hyperactive.
Henry.
Why would it not just be Ian Henry Watkins then?
Because that sounds like a serial killer.
It does actually.
What does the H on H stand for?
Hyperactive.
Hyperactive? Hyperactive.
It does, yeah.
I know.
I just told you the answer.
Fuck off.
Hyperactive is what it stands for.
Yeah.
So he's hyperactive from steps.
Yeah.
How did you know that?
I know lots of stuff.
I don't know Claire though.
He doesn't know Claire.
He knew what the H
In H from Steps stand for
But he's got no idea
Who Claire is
That's not true though
Is it?
It can't be
It is
Hyperactive
Yes
It used to sound
Like a handjob
But do like
You can't do that

Those kind of
Neurodiverse descriptors as your

What would your name, one letter nickname be?

My one letter... Mine would be H as well.
Handsome.
Or hung.
No, no, but it has to be something
that they can't immediately tell about you
that was a compliment say take it what he means is you're very obviously handsome handsome so
yeah that's fine but why does it have to be that you can't tell that h ian is automatically
hyperactive just by looking at him can you yeah but like my h could i mean it could be handsome

Welcome back.
I'm here with Dan Nightingale.
Hello.
I'm like the facially direct opposite of Dan, aren't I?
No.
Yes, I am.
Facially.
You've both got glasses.
You've both got a beard.
Has he got a beard?
Yeah.
He's got stubble.
Oh, yeah.
You can't really tell, though, because it kind of blends into his face. Yeah. What else don't you like about Dan? he got a beard? Yeah. He's got stubbly. Oh, yeah. You can't really tell though because it kind of blends
into his face.
Yeah.
What else don't you like about Dan?
He's a pasty bitch.
He's a pasty bitch.
He is a pasty bitch.
Well, the hair is the obvious
place to start.
You don't like his hair?
You don't like his hair?
No, no.
As in,
in terms of diametric opposites.
I love everything about Dan.
In fact, sitting on this...
Do you dye your hair?
No.
Do you know?
No.
It does look like you do.
Really? Yeah. Thank you. It's not a compliment. It looks stupid. By the way, we did... in fact sitting on this you dye your hair no do you know no it does look like you do really yeah
thank you it's not a compliment it looks stupid by the way we did i think it looks fucking great
actually adam did the mentor test with us all watching and he got 94 it might have been one
of the easiest things yeah that was easy but that was homogeneous because it wasn't the actual test
though yeah it look i'm just you know i'm i'm i'm insanely gifted and talented he was going
to book the let him book the original test and then we'll see i i think he would to be honest
i do think he would become a member of mentor i think from the have a word team it's you
and that's it yeah i think so as well anyone with a as well. Anyone with a degree in the room?
Without a degree in the room, even?
Yeah.
I think Carl would run you close.
Because I was too intelligent
to be fucking suckered by the university system.
Yeah, Carl would run you close,
but he wouldn't get in.
Why is that?
You're not as clever as me.
Based on?
You never were at school.
I've got a degree,
which is further than school.
I know.
So are you basing it on a lower English language? Exactly. I've been doing that which is further than school I know so are you basing it
on a lower
English language
exactly
I've been doing that
since I was fucking four
yeah but
having a degree
doesn't necessarily
I've got masters
I know
yeah that doesn't mean
anything
having a degree
has nothing to do
with intelligence
having a degree
has nothing to do
with intelligence
yeah
no
it's not
insanity
it's not
you can get a degree
in media
no
it depends on the subject
there's many more intelligent people
who don't have a degree
that doesn't mean
how does that make any sense
you're using just the fact you have a degree
and I don't as a measure of intelligence
no but you're saying people who don't have it
that means you don't have to be intelligent to get one
you don't
university degree is a physical
copy of your intelligence it isn a physical copy of your intelligence.
It isn't a copy of your intelligence.
It's a record of your education.
Education and intelligence are not the same thing.
I can't believe I'm agreeing with Adam.
Education and intelligence are not even remotely the same thing.
Do you think someone who's stupid could get my degree?
What's your degree?
You don't have to have a degree to be intelligent,
but you need to be intelligent to have a degree.
No, you don't.
Unless it's an art. No, you don't. I don't. Unless it's an art.
No, you don't.
No.
See, I'm backing away there.
Yeah.
No, you don't.
Yeah, but it's an art.
What's an art?
What do you mean?
Get a degree in an art subject.
If you do an art subject,
you don't have to be intelligent.
You have to be intelligent
to be able to get a degree in an art subject.
Why?
Because art,
you have to be intelligent.
But you've just said you don't have to be intelligent
to get a degree.
Performance-based.
You don't have to be intelligent to get a degree.
There's loads of really
stupid people
who've got degrees
yeah
loads of them
but I'm not one of them
I was never saying that
I think Steve was
I feel it
but I don't say it
yeah
just saying
I do feel a lot of pressure
sitting on this side
you know
why
because it's close to the buttons
yeah do you know what other buttons? Because it's close to the buttons. Yeah.
Do you know what other buttons do?
Yeah.
Do you know what a degree?
Cha!
Upset me!
What does that do?
That says, cha upset me.
It does.
I've got a degree.
A degree in the buttons.
In game brown.
Do you want a question?
Yeah.

Kapil Pal
alright lads
lots of athletes
and musicians
have superstitions
such as
Gary Lineker
never taking shots
in the warm up
as he didn't want
to waste goals
and save them for the game.
Do superstitions exist in stand-up
and do you guys have any?
Good question.
I always have odd socks on when I'm doing a gig.
Really?
Yeah.
I never have a wank three days before a gig.
That's absolute bollocks.
It is bollocks.
How infrequently do you gig?
Three days.
I haven't waked in years
I always have
odd socks on
if I'm doing a gig
I don't know why
I've never actually
mentioned this before
either but
yeah
right okay
they have to also
be the same thickness
we've got a gig
tonight
yeah
let's see
has he got odd socks on
is it a superstition
or
is it because you
just can't put socks on
One black
Nike sock
Oh yeah but they're not the same
Correct
Do they have to be the same thickness
That way you can't wear
An odd thickness
What is happening here
Right okay yeah
That's true
They're not really
I mean they're kind of odd
They're not the same
So they are odd
I don't know
I mean
They are odd socks
If you bought a pack of them And they came You'd be like Oh they're odd They're odd socks if you bought a pack of them
and they came
you'd be like
oh they're odd
they're odd socks
yeah they are
they are kind of
normally I am
normally it's a little bit
like I've got a lot of socks
from Arquette
yes
and like I've got
different colours of them
so I'd often just wear
two different colours
quite a few comics
they don't like being paid
before the gig
yeah
that's one
that's a superstition
I don't give a fuck
about stuff like that
I don't care about that
because I'm going to smash you the way I'd rather be paid in advance so that I can give that's a superstition I don't give a fuck about stuff like that I don't care about that because I'm going to
smash you the way
I'd rather be paid
in advance
so that I can give
less of a fuck on stage
yeah yeah
or have you been paid
burn the gig to the ground
yeah
got the money
have you got any
live superstitions
I will not walk
over three grids
yeah that's insanity
if you do that
yeah
yeah
don't walk over three grids
and I say hello
to magpies
I salute them
I say good morning Mr Magpie
how's the wife and kids
even if it's in the afternoon
he's not lying there
I've seen it
our superstitions are
if someone calls
calls you by your name
on your way out of the house
you have to turn back
and wait five minutes
before going again
I'm gonna have a lot of fun with that
every time you stay with me
from now on
what in case
it's a bad luck it just
brings bad luck that's the superstition uh any footwear that's upside down in the house causes
arguments any footwear that's upside down in the house causes arguments that's the superstition
yeah is the argument to you is causing murder yeah yeah that's another one um there's quite a few
superstitions
hang on
are these with your family
yeah
because you said our
yeah my family
but also I think
if there's any Asian listeners
and judging by
the Adam Rowan Friends gigs
there aren't
isn't Kapil Pau Asian
yeah Kapil Pau is
to be fair
yeah
I've got loads of Asian fans
have you
yeah
I think so anyway
I don't see colour
he's pan sex
what with the
pan race
yeah
I
the grids thing
is just something
that's stuck with me
since I was a kid
and it's just like
what about ladders?
what?
do you walk under ladders?
erm
yeah
I mean
it's dangerous to do that anyway
yeah I don't but it's not because I'm mean, it's dangerous to do that anyway.
Yeah,
I don't,
but it's not because I'm superstitious.
It's because I don't want to get killed by the man who could fall off the ladder.
It's just safer to walk around it.
Yeah.
That's not,
I think that's,
it's got to do with superstition.
No,
I'm not worried about getting bad luck from walking under the ladder.
I'm worried that like the ladder might slip and the man might fall on my head.
Oh,
I thought that was a superstition. I think it's more health and safety. I'm worried that, like, the ladder might slip and the man might fall on my head. I thought that was superstitious.
I think it's more health than safety.
I'm anti-superstitious.
You're anti-superstitious?
If there's three grids,
I will walk under them.
Oh, such a fucking... Fucking edgelord, yeah.
Edgelord, yeah.
That makes you worse than me.
Because it annoys people.
No, it doesn't annoy me.
Because grids haven't always existed.
Therefore, it's obviously bollocks.
It doesn't annoy me.
I just think you're a fucking cunt.
No, because we're safe.
You're going to get it.
It affects your life.
It doesn't.
Just walk on them.
How do you know it doesn't affect your life?
Yeah.
Because it's a grid.
What about your car this year?
How many grids have you walked over?
And your car's been fucked.
Your car's been fucked.
Bad luck.
There you go.
How much bad shit has happened in your life?
Not much.
You've crashed this car like 45 times this year.
I invite every bit
of bad luck into my life.
Do you break mirrors
just walking around
in your fixers?
I mean,
no.
Why?
Why?
Just go and break some mirrors?
Go and break the mirror now.
We'll follow him.
Yeah.
Do I have permission?
You're buying a new one?
I will.
You're buying a new one?
No,
because it's seven years
bad luck for the whole building.
Yeah,
the whole building. You might have a bad luck and not known it because's seven years bad luck for the whole building. Yeah, the whole building.
Bollocks.
You might have had bad luck and not known it,
because you might have been going,
oh, why isn't this happening for me?
It's because you've gone round shagging grids.
Behave yourself.
Yeah, you let on to a single magpie if he's on his own.
I don't do that, but you got that from your mum, surely?
I got it from my mum, yeah.
And the reason I've got it from my mum
and the reason it's stuck with me is,
so my mum was on her way home from London.
She lived in London,
right?
And she'd always had that superstition.
She'd always done the magpie thing.
Yeah.
Right?
So on her way back from London,
and on the way back,
she seen one magpie on its own
and got like a really bad feeling.
And she literally made me dad
drive around
so they could try and find another magpie
because she was just a bit fucking mental
and stuff like that.
Right.
And they couldn't find one. There was just one magpie. Right. And she was just a bit fucking mental and stuff like that right and they couldn't find one there was just one magpie and she was just having a
panic attack all the way home and when she got home her nan was dead wow the magpie did did her
not have any other illnesses what did her not have no she just died of old age all right what was she
what how old was she 38 i don't, but she wasn't expected to die.
She got attacked by magpies.
Yeah, okay.
You know,
I've heard Hitchcock's The Birds.
That was about my great-grandmother.
Oh, right, yeah, okay, fine.
Good reference.
She died, yeah.
Okay, that's a very good reference.
Yeah, that's all true.
We,
by we, I mean...
Going down a slide.
Imagine saying that on a slide, and by we, I mean I Going on a slide. I'm just saying that on a slide.
And by we, I mean I'm having fun.
RP.
We, we.
I love your side.
When you see a dead animal,
it brings you good luck, apparently.
I feel like that's your-
If you see a dead pigeon.
Really?
Yeah, it means-
I don't think this is a real one, is it?
It's worked out for me.
I've done all right.
I'm going, are you killing pigeons?
Have you seen a dead animal? Says nothing about who killed them, mate. I've done all right. I'm going, are you killing pigeons? Have you seen it at all?
Says nothing about who killed them, mate.
I remember.
Right.
Fuck off.
Good luck.
You little pigeon cunt.
Eh?
Yeah.
Before my mum died,
I'd never seen a dead pigeon.
And then after she died,
I saw loads of dead pigeons
and life's gone pretty well
for the last eight years.
But when she was alive,
your life was hell
because she was hitting you with sticks
yeah yeah
all that makes me think
is that your mum
was the pigeon protector
yeah she is maybe
so yeah
Trafalgar Square
yeah
the pigeon protector
the one
I can't leave the house
unless I do an overnight
kick in the kitchen
if I don't do it
I'm like
ahhh
I also have another little weird one and it's not a superstition but
it's just like i think it's a little bit of autism in me to be honest with you yeah so if i'm this
is not like it's only if i noticed that i'm doing it yeah so if you'd ever see me and you're like
oh he didn't do it there i'm just not thinking about it but if i'm conscious of my feet i always have to end a sequence of steps on my left
foot and i always start them on me right i don't i don't disbelieve that okay i laugh and by sequence
of steps what i mean is so for example if i'm on a cobbled street and i'm about to go on to like a
paved street into the rover's return. Right? Yeah.
My last step on the cobbles will be with me left foot.
And do you adjust your feet in between to make sure?
I will.
So if I'm judging the distance between me and the end of the cobbles
and I think, oh, I'm going to end on my right foot,
I'll do like a couple of short steps
so that I end on my left instead.
Wow.
I always take a step when i get onto
some steps my first step is always my right foot yeah it's the same thing yeah but like in my head
it has to be even so in my head even if i haven't because i haven't been thinking about it at the
time yeah i've always started on my right foot which and that's why i have to end on my left
i like it that's india okay do you mean because it like it has to be even like you might notice
I fidget quite a bit right
and do you know
if I scratch my head there
I'll also scratch that one
immediately after
I know that
it's second
have you seen that in me
no I think I do that
like if I like
if I like crack that finger
like that
I'll also do the other one
on the other hand
we've got two there as well
that's good noise
I have to put my right shoe on first
I think I do that
But I'm not sure
I don't notice until I'm doing it
But if I go to put my left shoe on
It feels weird
Yeah
That sucks
So there will be some times
Where I don't do what I'm saying
Because I'm not thinking about it
But if I think about it
Right foot first
Left foot last
I wank with my left hand
Same
And I'm right with my right hand
Yeah
And I think mine is to do
with the fact that because i was raised muslim all the dirty actions were done with your left hand
so to me we got told this recently do you know what it is it's the computer mouse is on the
right hand side so when you're skipping through the porn that's why that's why muslims do it
that's why muslims do all the day that makes sense that's why's why Muslims do all the dating. That makes sense, doesn't it?
That's why Muslims do all the dating, actually, with the left hand,
because the right hand's too busy doing admin.
The admin do work.
Clickety-clickety.
Maybe that is what it is.
I mean, it has to be, because I'm right-handed,
and I usually left-hand,
and I think it's because, back then, your mouth was...
I've tried to jazz myself off
with my left hand
and it just doesn't work
it just isn't right
when I try with my right hand
I can't do it
I can't
it's weird
but you know
I'm right handed
I'm a wankstress
no because that would mean
you can wank with both
you can with both
I can but I don't want to
yeah of course you can
I can
I can also
take penalties
with my left foot
it's not very well
yeah superstitions there's the superstitions yeah the penalties with my left foot yeah superstitions
there's the
superstitions
yeah the
right foot left foot
is probably my weirdest one
and also
like just
everything has to be
like symmetrical and even
like often like I'll
like have an itchy upper lip
but I'll also do the bottom one
even if it's not itchy
do you just
do you just
itch your lip there
do you just scratch your lip
you like symmetry have you ever there do you scratch your lip you like symmetry
have you ever scratched your lips
with your hands
no
what kind of fucking psych
do I have to do that
what
scratch your
that's not your lip
that's your face
you scratch your lips
with your hands
that's mental
that's literally
what your teeth are for
that is the primary
function of teeth
I itch my lips
with my teeth
more than I use them
to buy food have you ever scratched the top of your mouth you know i scratch my lips you know
i scratch my lips with my hands i want your tongue what about your tongue scratches his tongue with
his hands he's licking on yeah yeah i'm itchy now
what do you need?
Right
This is a comedy one
Would you like a comedy one?
Yeah sure
Whatever
We're comedians
This is from Michael Hughes
Hello Michael
Hughesy
Mikey
Often when people make jokes
About certain events
Mickey, Mickey, Hughes
Mickey, Hughes
Mickey, Mickey, Hughes
They sing my name
In a football style
Especially ones involving
Death and tragedy
I wasn't listening to the start You're going to have to start again Often when people in a football style. Especially ones involving death and tragedy. I wasn't listening to the start.
You're going to have to start again.
Often when people make jokes about certain events,
especially ones involving death and tragedy,
they will use the phrase,
that's too soon.
I know there's an element of some people thinking
it's edgy for edgy's sake or punching down
rather than make a clever joke.
In the comedy world,
how do you decide when something is too soon
or off limits?
Have you ever made the wrong call
is there anything off limits for you there's no subject that's off limits yeah agreed no
subject um it's just about how you approach it and how you make it not just like this is this
is the difference between someone who wants to talk about darker subjects today's guest george
zack's a really good example of this when he wants to be dark and intelligent about stuff he's really really good some of the stuff he did last night
was excellent um we've been doing adam rowan friends all week by the way me he's shannon
george and um there's a difference between someone just going making a joke where the punchline is
ah dead baby yeah and george has got a routine about um i won't ruin the bit in case
anyone wants to see him but about being on an airplane and how many babies are on the plane
if the plane goes down and how that affects how it would be reported yeah that is a joke that and
he says the word dead baby a hundred times and at no point does it feel like a cheap yeah hack dead baby joke yeah that's that's the difference on
like how stuff is just an edgelord comic who's just fucking shit a comedy getting a cheap laugh
by going and then a fucking raped her as a punchline yeah then talking about the the concept
of rape and what and like not that there's always a huge amount of human in any of
these subjects it's about finding it in a way where someone who has got a lived experience of
the dark stuff you're talking about would hopefully not be offended by what you're saying
that's that's ideally what you're trying to do is talk about dark subjects in a way that
if there's someone in the room who is affected by the subject you're talking about,
they are happy you've spoken about it
because you're shining a light on it
and not making victims of events or attacks
the butt of the joke.
That's the difference.
It's your terrorism bit, isn't it?
Yeah.
My terrorism routine, the butt of the joke is the terrorist.
Yeah, not terrorism.
And look, it'd be very easy to sort of go through my back catalogue
and find bits where I'm being a bit hypocritical.
Yeah, as you could with all comedy, and there's no...
It's not black and white, there's a lot of grey areas and stuff like this.
And sometimes you just say something because it's funny
and you're trying to say the worst thing to make your mates laugh.
That's okay as well, at times.
And it's the comedian's personal judgment call and
something being too soon again depends on where you're saying it why you're saying it and how
you're saying it these questions that we get that obviously they provoke a bit of conversation like
this but they're very hard to answer with a one-size-fits-all comment because like the day the queen died
or the day after
I got on stage and said
you know
do you reckon she came again
after Philip died
that was the opening line
to my set
that's often the best time
for me
when something like that happens
the best time is near the thing
I think there's something
that comes
it disarms everyone doesn't it
weirdly
but I think there's something
that is too late
as opposed to too soon.
Hold on to it.
What I mean by too late is like you do a bit,
like a Maddie McCann joke.
Yeah.
It's too late now.
It's too late.
Yeah, now it's just like, leave it.
Yeah.
It's hack and it's boring.
And also there have been like some edgier...
But also you wouldn't do a Maddie McCann joke even,
or you wouldn't do a Queen joke.
I wouldn't have done a Queen joke at the time
if I was gigging in
I don't know
Chipping Norton
Chiswick
Chiswick yeah
like a fancy suburb
of London
where there's probably
going to be a load
of flag shaggers
in the audience
who
give a shit
like someone they love
is dead
I made that joke
at phase one
in front of
a crowd that had came to see me yeah
they know who i am and what i'm but there's a time and a place and it's it's the comedian's
judgment call with every individual thing to judge whether something's too soon and or indeed too
late yeah but then also sometimes the decision as to whether something is off limits for where
the kind of comedians where we think nothing is off limits you can attempt to joke
about anything
you can attempt to joke
about absolutely anything
it might not always fly
but sometimes it does
but sometimes
it being too soon
or just off limits
gets policed by the audience
like
and it can be extreme
so I've had
as you know
I've had death threats
for some of the stuff
that I've said
guy turned up with a knife
at a gig
because he was unhappy with my what he thought was anti-Muslim I've said guy turned up with a knife at a gig because he was unhappy
with my
what he thought
was anti-Muslim stuff
how did you know
he had a knife
because he showed me
like a knobhead
when you were on stage
yeah so what happened
was he saw me one week
this was at Backyard Comedy Club
he comes up to me afterwards
and he goes
you shouldn't be making
all these anti-Islamic jokes
was he a Muslim
well apparently
that's how he presented himself
and I said well I'm not making anti-Islamic jokes it'd a Muslim well apparently that's how he presented himself and I said well I'm not making
anti-Islamic jokes
it'd be really really funny
if he wasn't
yeah
he was just like
a really devout
Christian
the biggest white knight
he'll ever see
yeah
I'm Jewish me mate
but still
stop it
this anti-Islam stuff
bang out of order
leave them alone
they're bad enough
and then he said
oh if you carry on
I'm going to do something about it
I'm like
I mean you're fucking not though
are you
and the next week he turned up
and he showed me his knife before we went into the gig.
Now, obviously he did that as a power play
to be like, I can control what this guy says.
I just went on stage and I said,
there's a guy here with a knife
who wants to stab me over there.
You should have showed them yours.
They turned the house lights on.
Did they get him out?
Yeah.
Of course they got him out.
No, they were like'll actually stay, lad.
I just wanted to be well lit.
If anyone sees him standing up at any point, alert me.
Yeah, because the light would bounce off the knife
and you'd see him getting up.
Yeah.
If I was in there, I'd just got my knife out
and just been blind.
You would have a photo shoot.
Like a watch.
So what, did he just leave and you never saw him again?
I haven't seen him again since
But maybe he's
Waiting for me to do a bigger show
And my thing is
I wouldn't mind
Getting non-fatally stabbed
Because I think that would be good
It would benefit your career
It would be incredible
For his career
Yeah
People would really back me
I would mind
I don't want to
Ever be stabbed
In any capacity
What if he missed
That would be good
No
I don't want to i don't
want anyone to ever knife attack me i get it successfully or unsuccessfully do you get it
you know what i mean yeah i reckon in the moment be quite terrifying and i reckon it would probably
make me anxious for all future performances i agree so i think it would be quite um i have
quite the negative impact on my ability as a performer. If I was constantly worried
about a knife attack.
I'll tell you there's a really good
shining example of this.
You know Dave Chappelle
played Hot Wheels Comedy Club.
Yeah.
And was on stage
you know just telling jokes
and
inhaling alcohol.
And afterwards
he wanted to go for some food.
Yes.
And we said
oh there's a place that's like
a five, ten minute walk and we'll take you there. And we said, oh, there's a place that's like a five,
10-minute walk and we'll take you there.
And he was like, great.
No, that wasn't open.
That was the problem.
So it was, it's just down the road.
And he was like, okay, I'll meet you there.
And we thought, oh, he's just getting off
because he got in a car down the road.
He was just nervous about being attacked
because he'd just been attacked not long ago,
a few months earlier on stage in LA
with the guy who went at him
who was accusing him who was accused of being
transphobic and stuff
that has affected him
you can see it in him
he had two guys
in the wings
no but he's always got
two guys in the wings
that's always been the thing
he's always had security
because he's you know
he's so famous
he's the most famous comedian
maybe ever
well Bobby Davro
yeah Bobby Davro
of course
he's got six people
around him at all times.
But he's,
that has really affected Chappelle.
You can really see it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like he's nervous around people.
He's consciously like,
what's going on?
We weren't allowed
to take a photograph
of even ourselves
in the Chinese restaurant.
Jeff Ross took one
and was like,
I'll send you there.
Yeah.
But he was like,
no other photographs.
At one point,
Carl tried to take
a little picture
to send to our group chat
just to tell Dan
we're in the Chinese
with Dave Chappelle.
Dave Chappelle.
And it was a dodgy picture
but you could sort of tell
it was him.
And Carl put it in the group chat
and I opened it on my phone
and Jeff Ross went,
don't.
Because he thought
I was about to tweet it.
Yeah. Right. You weren't even allowed to be on my phone and Geoff Ross went, don't. Because he thought I was about to tweet it. Yeah.
Right.
You ain't even allowed
to be on your phone
around them and stuff.
Put your phone down.
Don't be on your phone
around them
because in their head
they're like,
right,
they're telling people
Dave Chappelle's here.
There's going to be
a load of people here
and one of them
might attack him.
The thing is with comedy,
because of its proximity
to the audience
and the best comedians
make it look like
you're just having a chat.
Everyone thinks
that their acts
have a point to us and particularly when they have a word as well, everything that like you're just having a chat. Everyone thinks that their access point to us,
and particularly
when they have a word as well,
everything that you've done
with have a word,
the access point
seems so much closer
that people just think
that they can just
do something like that.
I mean,
imagine trying to stab me.
I still maintain
that I wouldn't mind.
Like, don't do it.
Yeah, that's not...
You wouldn't mind. I wouldn't... You would mind. Yeah, don't do it. Yeah, that's not... You wouldn't mind.
I wouldn't...
You would mind.
Yeah, I might mind.
It would probably really...
It would be terrifying for the rest of your life.
You'd have such severe anxiety about going back on stage.
If anything like that ever did happen.
Kind of fun and dangerous, though, isn't it?
Speaking of anxiety,
can you press the advice button, please, Sian?
So that's the second from the top right.
Second from the top right. Second from the top right.
That one?
Yeah, but the...
My name, I'm here to help.
Here to help.
I'll solve your problems.
I'll tell you the best thing to do.
Don't press it, just slide it down.
If you do, you might do too.
Time.
See, you could be a producer.
Well done.
Hey, Sean.
This is from Joe Riley.
This is some advice.
Rizzo!
Rizzo, yeah. Jaws. Rizzo Rizzo yeah Joss
Joss Rizzo
Joss
Wag Waggy Legends
I have trouble
and anxiety
travelling to
places outside
of my comfort
zone and the
thought of going
somewhere I'm not
familiar with
sends me into a
panic such as
going abroad or
somewhere away for
the week just to
recharge what is
your guys advice on
how to conquer and get over
this
stay home
yeah
stop in the
shits house
stop in the shits
house and get over
there
yeah stay home
go on google earth
map out the place
you want to go to
that's actually
really good advice
and that is not
what we do here
sorry
go on google earth map out the place you want to go to find some bits that you might want to visit so you have and that is not what we do here. Sorry. Go on Google Earth,
map out the place you want to go to,
find some bits that you might want to visit
so you have a sense of familiarity
before you go there
and go there.
Find the exit routes.
Find the exit routes,
know how you need to get out,
whatever,
or speak to a refugee.
They're very good at knowing
how to deal with unfamiliar surroundings.
Yeah.
He could never be a refugee, this guy.
We're fleeing war.
No, we're not.
I'm staying here.
I'm staying here.
I don't like the idea of going to England.
There's so much water.
No, I don't know it.
I know where the bombs are coming from here.
I can't Google Earth, the English channel.
That's what I say.
So yeah, just plan ahead. The only way he's going to ever get over channel. That's good advice. So yeah, just plan ahead.
The only way he's going to ever get over that
is by just facing it.
I know that sounds so stupid.
I know that's impossible.
But I feel like I'm in a position to talk about this
because I've coped with my health anxiety
by doing a version of what I'm telling him to do.
By being unhealthy.
No.
Yeah.
I just know I'm unhealthy.
I keep eating,
drinking,
and I've taken up smoking
because that's my way
of facing my health anxiety.
Look,
I am unhealthy,
but I'm still alive,
aren't I?
That's definitely
a coping mechanism,
by the way.
That is.
People controlling
their unhealthiness
to control their health.
That's definitely a thing.
People being in control
of the bad things you do,
still doing it,
but being aware that it's bad.
I do that with food and stuff. I think that's definitely a thing.
Possibly.
But what he should do is just travel as much as possible.
And I know that sounds stupid,
and he's like, oh, that's the one thing I can't do.
That's the only way he's going to get over what he's got,
is by just doing it enough to know
that nothing bad happens when he does.
I cannot wait for him to get mugged
when he goes traveling in Italy or something.
Can't wait.
I can't wait.
Why do you want everyone to get stabbed?
Why do you want to get mugged, don't stab this one.
He needs to do one thing, doesn't he?
With a friend.
Get it done and then be like, okay, I can't do that.
Start small, go to like Tesco.
Tesco.
Go to not your Tesco.
By the way-
That's awful.
That's honestly one of the worst things in the world.
Don't do that.
Oh, my anxiety.
What's happened?
Not your Tesco.
Right, listen, right, listen,
cause me and Kyle have already spoken about this.
Do you know, do you have like your supermarket?
Yeah.
The big one near you.
Yeah.
What's it, what one is it it's a tesco extra
right so a big tesco yeah huge have you ever been in another big tesco yes how horrible is that
that experience of not being in your one where you're like oh i know where the bread aisle will
be it's all it's where the bread aisle obviously is yeah right near the back near where all the
bakery stuff is no it isn't is it for some reason in the other Tesco it's in between the frozen pizzas
and the underwear.
Yeah.
No.
It's in the pet aisle.
The thing for me
is it starts in the car park
because you're like
where are the trolleys?
The trolleys are always
in the shop.
They're always indoors for us.
What have you got?
The coin?
That's the question.
I have got the coin.
Yeah.
Going to a supermarket
that you're not familiar with
honestly
honestly that the final
level of the cube and i know that i've said a million of these could easily be you're in a
tesco and do your regular go and find no go and find this one specific item kidney beans from the
same i tried to find kidney beans i tried to find kidney beans in my tesco today i couldn't find
you put me in another tesco unless there's. I couldn't find them. You brought me to another Tesco.
Unless it's a kidney bean aisle, I'm fucked.
That is one thing I'll say about Lidl.
All Lidls are pretty much the same.
They don't really change the layout too much.
Aldi's the same.
You come in, the bread's on the left.
Yes.
All like the bacon and stuff.
Shampoo's on the right.
Lawnmowers at the top.
But they are all the same in that like the the left aisle and the
far right aisle very similar and the center aisle is chaos yeah and it's just you know it's whatever
they found at boot sales that week yeah yeah like that is a car boot sale yeah the middle aisle of
aldi or little is just yeah we've got garden gnomes and we've got tasers. Would you like a flamethrower or a dog bed?
Would you like this flamethrowing dog bed?
JML.
Your dog like flamethrowers.
New JML.
Yeah, go to a Tesco that isn't yours
and if you can face that, you can face anything.
If you can do that, you can anything if you can do that you can go
you can become Mozambique yeah and you'll be fine you'll be Mozambique's probably got quite good
transport networks
shout out Mozambique All right, lads.

That's what I do.
All right.
I don't know.
I always say that about you.
Yeah.
Say it with me.
Whenever I'm in mine
and all the lights go off,
I'm always like,
oh, honey, in Shambazia,
I'll be able to see what I was doing.
When it's dark, as soon as Ishan was here. I was able to see what I was doing. When it's dark,
as soon as Ishan smiles,
the whole room gets lit up.
I say that about you
all the time.
I actually do say that
about you.
Thank you.
I've been like,
you know what,
like sometimes when I'm dark,
I just need Ishan
to come and light up my life.
What does George mean?
It's your Sunni disposition.
Oh,
I see what you did there.
Sunni Muslim.
Yes,
Muslim.
Thank you.
It's my second language guys
my second language i'm doing tons what's your language oh yeah i'm greek i haven't mentioned
i haven't mentioned it actually i'll tell you what my name means if you break it down
so uh pulos means son of son of um. But poulis in Greek also means...
Chicken.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And penis.
So you're the son of a chicken penis?
And sugar is sugar.
And it's Zuckero is sugar.
And George Yorgos is a farmer.
So if you translate my name,
it's Sugar Dick Farmer.
Sugar Dick Farmer.
Sugar Dick Farmer.
No, but you missed out chicken.
No, wait. Wait.
The sugar dick chicken farmer.
The chicken farmer.
You got the chicken bit there as well.
No, no, it's police.
No, it's like sugar dick farmer.
Sugar dick farmer.
Yeah, sugar dick farmer.
How would you farm sugar dicks?
What the fuck's a sugar dick?
No, no, no, no, no.
You're getting it wrong.
He doesn't farm sugar dicks.
He is the sugar dick.
He's a farmer.
And he's a farmer.
I am the sugar dick farmer.
He's the sugar dick farmer.
Oh, he farms sugar with his dick. The sugar dick farmer. And the farmer I am the sugar dick he's the sugar dick farmer
or he farms sugar
with his dick
the sugar dick farmer
and women are sucking him off
they're always like
fuck hell you're so sweet
yeah
that sounds like another
Greek myth that needs to be written
about the sugar dick farmer
the myth of the sugar dick farmer
George the sugar dick farmer
it can be added to our list of cartoons
along with the time travelling lesbian
Peter the cock sucking cowboy
what was the other one?
What was the little Jewish boy?
Swim alone shark.
Kanye.
No, we had the little Jewish boy
who was at a time...
Maybe that was the time-travelling lesbian.
Yeah, it was.
No, it was George the sugar dick farmer,
not Peter the sugar dick farmer.
Yeah, Peter.
Don't get your sugar dick farmers mixed up.
I was thinking of cocksucking cowboy.
My mistake.
George.
George,
thanks for coming in.
Thanks for having me.
We were talking
very nicely
about you in the first half
about your ability
to do dark humour
about dead babies
and not make it cheap.
Yeah,
it's very good.
No,
no,
when I do dead baby jokes,
nuance is
my greatest quality.
I aspire for greatness, guys.
How does comedy work different in Greek?
Like, can you do comedy in your language?
Is it different?
Yeah, have you ever done comedy in Greek?
I have.
It was horrendous.
Like, my parents were there.
Like, you know,
like here,
if I have gigs in which I bomb,
like, I know I've bombed
when I have people coming up to me
and they go,
well, at least second language,
can't argue with that.
They're not saying, that was great.
They're going, good English there.
That's what I know I've tanked again.
You speak so well.
Yeah, they go, wow, I'm still very brave.
But they did it in greek and um i mean were you in greece when you did it
yeah i mean imagine if i wasn't i'd be mental you could be he was in fucking york
a greek restaurant yeah What to the three people
Who work there
There's a Greek community
In the UK
Is there
Yeah
Oh yeah
There's Greek town
There's Chinatown
Greek town
Yeah
Whitby has a massive
Greek population
It's not Chinese town
Is it
They serve the food
Into your hands
Because they have no plates
Hey
Hey
You'd love that in your culture
You love eating with your hands
Don't you
We do yeah
Yeah there you go What is the plate Much made in heaven What is the eating with your hands Don't you Yeah There you go
What is the plate
Match made in heaven
What is the plate stuff
They just love
Have you ever smashed a plate
Yeah I know it's good
But when
Have you
I don't know where it came from
But have you tried it
Is it good
It feels amazing
When do you do it
Like are there specific times
You smash plates
Tuesday mornings
It's been there you know
When we kill the Turkish person
You wake up First thing You turn over when we kill the turkish person turn the alarm off
that's how it started
some some console i went off
and it was not that he couldn't reach it but he just smashed it with a plate and he's like
that felt good actually and, and I'm awake.
What was the plate?
No, no, no, this is not.
This is a stupid theory, Adam.
What?
No, how it started, I reckon,
is people were having so much fun at a party,
like a wedding or something.
They were like, I need to smash shit up.
Plate was there.
Bouche felt great. Why would they go for a plate?
If you were at a party, and everyone's having a good time,
I don't think I'd go for a plate first.
You can't smash glasses.
You chuck a glass.
No, you can't go for your wife.
It's in public.
You have to go for the plate.
Yeah.
Smash your wife.
Everyone smashes their wife.
Yeah!
I'm having such a great time!
What could we smash?
Well, we couldn't smash plates, could we?
Because you'd just have to rip paper off.
You can't have plates at a party no what could we smash then napkins smash napkins they'd be tables wouldn't you have to like rock yeah that's a table
yeah yeah soup looks onto a table listen it's fun you know it's amazing here i am in the most
prominent podcast in the uk and the first thing they ask me is about fucking plate smashing.
Lad, you're the only Greek that we're ever going to have on.
Have you ever had any other immigrants?
Immigrants?
Yeah.
Not immigrants.
No, we've had people from other countries,
but they've had the good grace to leave again.
Also, we ask the obvious questions.
People want to know these things.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm down, I'm down.
The first thing I ever did
for the BBC
they made me smash plates
so you know
did they
oh yeah it was horrendous
what were you asking me then
is Helen Bauer from Germany
or is she English
I think she was born in England
raised in Germany
but then we've also had
Louisa Golder on
we've had Shane Gillis on
these are people from other countries
but they've left again
George is one of the ones
who we have a problem with
they come
and then they take our work
and they go
smash our plates smash our plates there is a food crisis in the UK George is one of the ones who we have a problem with. They come and then they take our work and they stay.
Smash our plates.
Smash our plates.
There was a food crisis
in the UK.
Was that?
There was a food crisis
in the UK.
There was a plate crisis.
Not enough plates going around.
If anything,
he's doing us a favour
because the less plates there is,
the less food
we have to fill them with.
That's true.
Guys,
I'm not sure either of you
can be discussing
the food crisis.
Look at the state of you,
you fat cunts.
Wow. Christ. That was just I'm not sure either of you can be discussing the food crisis look at the state of you you fat cunts wow wow Christ
that was just
completely uncool
I don't think
George
I don't think
George knows
what he looks like
you know
I think here's what's happened
I reckon
this is what I think about George
and I reckon this is probably
really accurate
and you can help me out
let me finish
and then you can
I'm listening
so I reckon when George
was younger
like puberty time
so it's like 14 to 18
I reckon
no one fucked him
right
and he was really depressed
about how he looked
and his behaviour
and who he was as a person
his personality
his face
his body
his speech
awful
he was just really depressed
like oh I am disgusting
I'm a pig
right
especially compared to most Greek men who were gorgeous gorgeous yeah that's true and I reckon then He was just really depressed and like, oh, I am disgusting. I'm a pig. Right?
Especially compared to most Greek men
who were gorgeous.
Gorgeous, yeah, that's true.
And I reckon then
he started comedy
and he's got quite good at it
and people have started
to fuck him
and it's given him
a false perception
of, oh, I'm attractive now.
And he doesn't realise
it's just a trick
that women fall for.
I've also had a rumour
that he has got a massive dick.
There is a rumour
about that.
I can imagine
he's got a pipe like that.
There's a rumour.
Look at the little smile
on his face.
Apparently he's got a huge dick i'm packing
really sorry i didn't mean it i didn't look at you when i was saying that right am i right
i had sex for the first time uh age 20.
now that's a year before me but i was like you were 21. Oh, you pair of virgins. Not anymore. How old were you?
12?
I was nine, me.
He shagged our maths teacher.
I shagged the maths teacher
when I was nine.
Mr. Dumb Woody.
It isn't true.
It isn't true.
Yeah, it isn't true.
It's not true.
It's good.
I don't imagine you impressing
the maths teacher in any way.
He went to maths.
He was studying maths at uni.
Did you have him at uni?
No, he didn't.
He went to the freshman left.
Don't start.
He didn't study anything.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Well, he got in.
He got admitted to uni.
Absolutely got in.
He got admitted to uni to study maths.
Admitted?
My God, I'm so mad.
You've been sanctioned.
You've gone to the uni, Liverpool. Come on. it uni of liverpool that you got into yeah this will never happen again i have an uncle
my mom's maiden name is dunwoody and he is a math teacher but he lives in for me so he wasn't yours
but that'll never ever happen again i think he is from is his name chris no oh that's weird
we had a mr dunwoworthy maths teacher. Yeah.
And I fucked him.
And he fucked him up the ass.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
George, what you do with a big dick?
Yeah, George, what that dick do?
I've got like a good medium dick.
It's not big.
So I don't know what you do with a big dick.
Are you a grower, Rochelle?
I'm a grower.
I am a grower.
I am the definition of a grower I'll tell you I'm a grower I am the definition
of a grower
yeah me too
yeah
like honestly
like I hide my dick
in public toilets
yeah yeah
I don't like it
because I'm like
if someone
like they'll literally
be like this isn't
it's not like a maggot
but it's not big
in the toilet
it's a maggot
but as soon as I get
even remotely excited
I could do some
fucking damage
to some third world countries
it's retractable that's what you want yeah oh totally yeah but people don't believe you But as soon as I get even remotely excited, I could do some fucking damage to some third world countries.
It's retractable.
That's what you want.
Yeah.
Oh, totally.
Yeah, but people don't believe you.
If you see my dick in your eye,
you would not believe how big it gets. Yeah.
But I also wouldn't want to know how big it gets.
Have girls told you that they like that it's not too big?
No.
Oh my God.
Because it is too big.
It goes from non-existent to too big.'s a transformer possible but what does a big dick do
yeah are you are you a grower or a shower so this is a situation i didn't know i didn't know about
the size of um a man who had been in any way good when i was like 15 i was a late bloomer it's true
like no one want to fuck me. Very traumatic stuff.
Absolutely nailed it there.
You know, it really brought back some memories there.
I know George thinks he's attractive now because he told us last night
that he thinks that jumper's nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I really like this jumper.
It doesn't make any sense.
Dan's the same. Dan doesn't read clothes and clearly i'm not look this is like um i've had i've had sex because of
this jumper i've had someone come up to me and they said i love your jumper and then
and then and then he said i made it i'm six fuck me
that's horrendous why would you say that?
Oh, my God.
I remember you talking in the face like about nuance.
Like, sometimes it's just for the sake of it.
What is this?
That was a good example of when not to do that.
You're really, like, honestly, with the amount of pedophilia in your people.
You should not be making these jokes, man.
It's fucking horrendous, honestly.
It's not pedophilia.
It's grooming.
It's different.
It's grooming.
You know, that thing.
No, no, no, honestly. It's not pedophilia, it's grooming, it's different. It's grooming, you know, that thing. No, no, no, no.
Stop it.
Do you know what?
I've been convinced
for a while now,
the amount of shit
that gets said on this podcast,
it's going to be when
there's a co-hosting
and a guest.
They're going to get
the show cancelled.
It's never going to be
anything me, Dan,
or you do.
It's going to be
two other people.
We can fucking boogie
on the line.
We've boogied on the line. You've't know what the line is. We boogied on the line.
You just shit all over the line.
Is that your people?
Maybe I'm spying on them.
You made it worse.
I think the problem is that you're assuming what your people means.
What does your people mean?
I'm at bankers.
You racist prick.
I want to know what a big dick was.
Man, white people,
these guys,
don't get it, do they?
What do you mean white people?
Greek people are white people.
I'm white.
He's all of any.
Other.
I'm white other.
White other?
Yeah.
This isn't an online form.
All the privilege,
none of the guilt.
White other, baby. This is privilege, none of the guilt. Wait,
baby,
this is me.
Ultimate white pride there.
What does a big dick do?
The key questions.
I think this is more about Carl than me.
What are the top?
This is how,
like when I was 15,
I went swimming with like my friends,
you know,
like we're 15,
they jumped in the world naked
and I took my clothes off and they looked at me and they started laughing at how small my dick was.
And I cycled home crying, terrible time. Anyway, so...
Were you naked when you were cycling back?
Did you get out of it?
So it was like...
You didn't even have time to put me clothes on!
I had a small BMX as well, it was not a good sight.
So I never thought I had a big dick
but every
I mean
since then
I entered puberty
whatever
and then
I've been sleeping with girls
they're like
oh my god
your dick is so big
and I was like
every girl says that though
to everybody
to make them feel good
about themselves
and I was
I was in Edinburgh this year
and I slept with someone
in the morning
like
when she left,
I turned to my buddy Andre,
a comedian.
Was he in the room?
He was,
he was in the room.
We had sex with him
in the,
like,
in the corner
of the mattress.
It was hilarious.
I love you.
See you later.
Andre,
was she weird
or was it just me?
And I said to him,
have girls told you
like
the dickiest thing
in the past
and he said
no
and Andre is like
very good looking
he's not
he's not
you don't think he is
he gets like
I've seen women like
walk up to him
yeah yeah
but it's a very odd thing
yeah
we'll have a look
at Andre in the interval
yeah carry on
so
so he said
no like
he slept with quite a few girls
it was like
maybe one or two
out of like
loads and loads
have ever told me
anything like that
I said
every single girl
told me this
I think it's bullshit
and he went
I think it's bullshit now
no it isn't
I think it's bullshit
have you been swimming
with those friends again
naked
no
because
you know
age 15 is like nice and innocent like in your late 30s
fucking weird i don't know i think i think i don't know what you do with your people the bankers
um yeah because if they laughed at you because it was too small they might you know they might
be able to verify how do you know they weren't laughing at just how big it is yeah because they
said like no maybe they all have fucking ginorm and his was little no he was definitely yours got bigger
he got i remember my dick getting bigger during puberty and looking down and going no i will have
a view anymore georgie boy he remembers the day remember the grace remember the elongation i
always thought greek people had tiny cocks
because of the statues.
Do you know that's...
Where they were revered.
Yeah, but do you know that's like,
apparently in ancient times,
it would be considered like barbaric
to have like big dick on a statue.
So they used to put tiny dicks on statues
because it was more elegant.
So if a sculptor was owed money by like
a general um they would like put a big dick on their sculpture they go fuck everyone would be
laughing with him that's why they were laughing at you yeah look at me this stupid massive cock
you used to want to be fat because that means you have food and have a little day
i am the perfect man from 10,000 years ago.
10,000 years ago, I'm on the cover of fucking Vogue and GQ.
With your dick house?
Yeah.
I'm rich and I've got a small dick.
Oh, man. Right, okay. Good. oh man right okay good so how have any girls told you you have a big dick carl
cars only fuck two people but they've i mean it is a thing that girls say isn't it so it's hard
to verify it's a thing that girls say but then of us girls and many girls have told me no
if i sleep with someone i don't know i don't think they have a big dick i'll just not say anything oh no i get told that but again like in my head i'm not like oh hey i'm like yeah yeah
i've i've got my dick up before and had the woman scream what come and hear me with that
put it away now and uh did the knife did the knife not help did she know you were in the room put that away
for the
for the story
Adam was also

clearly
what do you say to girls though
like you got big tits
you sounded like such a virgin that's what I mean they know they've got big like what can you say to girls though? Like, you got big tits. You sounded like such a virgin.
That's what I mean.
They know you've got big,
like what can you say to compliment a girl?
But you,
Carl won't actually know how to compliment women.
He just knows how to compliment one.
Usually,
I haven't got a clue.
He's your fan,
he's lovely.
Usually you say things like,
oh, you've got a lovely gag reflex.
No, you don't.
No way.
A lovely gag reflex? Yeah, because there's some good ones. Because if they things like, oh, you've got a lovely gag reflex. No, you don't. No way. A lovely gag reflex?
Yeah, because there's some good ones.
Because if they're able to like...
Surely no gag reflex.
Because there's a sexy way of gagging.
There's a sexy way of gagging.
You've got a dildo out there, can you show us?
No!
No, no, no.
Make the noise at least.
No. no no no make the noise at least no because if if you if you find a girl who's able to yeah wrap her tongue under your penis and onto your balls at the same time yeah the gag there
is quite a sexy gag what are you on about so she's taking your whole penis and the tongue
is then on your balls. Yeah. Is this Gene Simmons?
That is a long tongue.
That's a long tongue.
But what I was saying was Carl has only ever really,
like he had a sort of childhood relationship when he was like teenager.
Yeah.
And then he's got his, you know, the love of his life,
he's been with her for a long time. He's never had to compliment women really he's never had to i don't need to understand what ticks them over like this you don't need to compliment women
that is you're a very handsome man i better be in the street
i'm just saying um i do not have to compliment women go on then then. Imagine I'm a girl. I'm called Stephanie.

That's how I ended up in Newcastle.
I knew nothing about it.
Had you done stand-up before then?
No, I did stand-up in 2010
So, I came here in 2001
I didn't know anything about stand-up
Until maybe a year before I did it
A week ago
A very easy joke
Sean, you'd better know that
No, I'm not
He hasn't touched it
I'm not
He's better than that
Honestly, I've done gigs with him
And he's better
He tries
How did you feel? I did the gigs with him and he's better like he tries how did you feel
I did the gig with him
a day
yeah tell them
this is a great story
this is a fun story
so
where was it
so it was for Dave
Sean
yeah but it was
a disability showcase
a disability showcase
so my
I was talking to my agent
and he was saying
something to me
from this side
and I said
oh I can't hear anything
from this side
he said why not I'm like because I'm deaf from this side he's deaf in one ear he was saying something to me from this side and I said, oh, I can't hear anything from this side.
He said, why not?
I'm like, because I'm deaf from this side.
He's deaf in one ear.
He was furious, my agent.
He's like, how have you not told me that you're deaf from one side?
I was like, why should it matter?
And he said, because the state of television nowadays,
they're looking for this kind of thing.
I'm like, that is...
They're listening out for it.
Hang on, so you're deaf in one ear
and you're deaf in...
I'm deaf in both. Yeah, yeah. This is like the Spider-Man. I've got like supersonic hearing and so I like balance the whole... they're listening out for it hey hang on so you're definitely in your death in i'm definitely yeah
yeah this is like the spider-man i've got like supersonic here and so i like balance
it has to make up for you for the idol so um
mix up with it i'm glad we're all having fun
carry on so we'll go to the dave showcase and the Sean goes on and he starts talking about how
why is the Sean
Akbar here
and he takes his earpiece out
and he's like
putting on the microphone
he has a bit of feedback
going
stop it
he's doing this
it's really funny
and then I go on
and I said
like
I asked you if it's okay
to do this
before I did this
and I always say yes
to these kind of requests
yeah yeah
so I went on and I said my name is these kind of requests yeah yeah so I went on
and I said
my name is George
I'm Greek
that's not my disability
by the way
my disability
like Ishan Nakba
is I'm deaf also
but unlike Ishan Nakba
I don't have an earpiece
because I don't need
props to be funny
earpiece
made me laugh
and then
then
I sounded the Apollo
and it didn't
so
in many ways
you know
what a wasted joke
my favourite story
of Gig I'm with George
which I think
you might know
this story
is
me and George
had done a gig together
in
oh no
London
a top secret comedy club
and
went out afterwards
went for a few drinks
you know
it's the late show
yeah
went out afterwards
had a few bevvies
went to Philomena
you know the pub
around the corner
where we normally go to
oh yeah yeah
if like the sun's
like full or whatever
and then that was
shutting quite early
but we wanted to
carry on drinking
because we're very similar
me you and him
are very similar
in that regard
if there's a bar sloping
we'll go
there's one sloping
which is heaven
you know under the archers
happens to be Carl
a gay club
I know I've been loads
we used to go all the time
I love heaven
no not that one
it's in London
no no it's not the same chain
surely
no
it's not
it's just loads of gay clubs
called heaven
first time I did MDMA was in heaven yeah i love heaven i think that's the gay's way of
getting back at god yeah for being homophobic like we're gonna name our nightclubs the same as your
kingdom what are you gonna do nothing and guess what we've got the cheeky girls here on saturday
doing a pa get on there because gay people don't go to heaven. Case you missed it.
Guys, calm down.
Heaven isn't real.
But heaven, the one in London,
is like a gay, gay club.
Like there's a big cock show.
A gay, gay club.
Yeah.
Cock show though.
Gay square.
Like there's a big stage show
and they've all got their knobs out
and they're fucking sucking each other off
and slapping each other in the face.
What?
Adam could not stop looking.
I wouldn't be able to stop looking either.
Was this happening the night you went?
Yeah.
Because you know when Adam orders a cocktail,
if it's a bit fancy, he gets a bit awkward, right?
So he has this latent...
Internal homophobia.
Homophobic.
Yeah.
So when he's looking at the drag queens getting the dick out,
I've never seen a man more intrigued and uncomfortable.
I would be intrigued.
You, of course, you'd be intrigued.
He was super uncomfortable also.
No, of course not!
How would you be intrigued and uncomfortable?
Have you ever watched, like, trans porn?
No.
It is wild.
No, I haven't watched that,
but what I did watch was these men slap each other
in the face with a cock while they were dancing.
It was absolutely mesmerizing.
It was fantastic.
It was quite amazing to be able to pull that off.
But on the way into the club, there's like a cloakroom and it was £1.50 per item.
So the woman goes, do you want to check your coat or your bag in?
And I was like, can I put my coat in my bag and just check that in?
She was like, yeah.
And I turned around and he's just stood there just holding his leather jacket right and i was like check it in he goes no adam i'm not
going to do it i'm not paying one pound fifty for somebody to look after my jacket i don't chinese
what the fuck was that what the fuck was that is that for the chinese takeaway
this is not the accent this is not the accent i This is not the accent.
I don't know what you're doing.
I don't know what you're doing.
That's what you get cancelled for, you know.
That's what you get cancelled for, you know. I like...
He spits in the face.
What are you doing?
Remember ten minutes ago when he was claiming he's uncomfortable with racism.
Uncomfortable with racism.
Racism. Racism. he's uncomfortable with racism yeah yeah yeah uncomfortable with racism racism uncomfortable with racism
uncomfortable with racism
some Chinese Australian in a fucking minute
he said that freaking
uncomfortable with racism
and they're not
that's better
I'm just doing his voice
okay
he sat right there
you can hear both of us
I tell you what close your eyes
and see if you can tell who's talking
all right
wait wait wait let me take my hearing aid out I'll give you something to say I'll give you something to say wait wait He sat right there, you can hear both of us. I tell you what, close your eyes and see if you can tell who's talking.
Wait, wait, wait.
Let me take my hearing aid down. I'll give you something to say.
I'll give you something to say.
Wait, wait.
Your also doesn't have headphones.
I'll go over there.
Yeah, okay.
I'll give you something to say.
Right, Carl, give him the sentence.
I want you to say...
Carl, give him the sentence and I'll guess.
I'm a grower, not a shower.
I'm a grower, not a shower.
Now George, do now George I'm comfortable
is it
give us another
sentence
you've got actually
you've got to do it
in your voice
I'm trying to
convince him
that I can do
your accent
hello this is
Trevor MacDonald
this is the
10 o'clock news
alright
okay how about
this
for the audio listeners I apologise I don't even news. Alright, alright. Okay, how about this?
For the audio listeners, I apologise. I don't even know
what's going on. Hello, my name is Trev MacDonald.
Welcome to 10 o'clock news.
Okay, how about this?
Say it!
Hello, my name is Trev MacDonald.
Do you know what I can't tell?
I really can't. I really can't
tell who it is. That was George. I can't tell. I can't tell.
It's really impressive.
You've absolutely nailed it there.
No, he didn't have a go.
Well done.
Well done to Adam.
He was excellent.
No, Adam didn't get a go.
So anyway, I checked me back in.
George goes, no, I'm not buying one pound of 50
for somebody to look after my jacket.
What is that?
Why are you committing to this? It was by the first time. He goes, no, I'm not paying one pound of 50 for somebody to look after my jacket. What is that? Right?
Why are you committing to this?
It was bad the first time.
Yeah, carry on.
Keep committing.
George, you don't actually know what you sound like.
No one knows.
You don't know what you sound like.
You don't know what you look like.
Shut the fuck up.
Carry on.
Sounds like what you mean.
He goes, I'm not paying one pound 50
for somebody to look after my jacket.
It's a waste of money.
What he actually said
I believe
Was that's 50 pence
Too much for my liking
Yeah
I said that
I said
I think you'll find
You know what
I think you're right though
Because in Newcastle
It's a pound
Yeah I agree
50p is a piss take
Yeah
50p is a piss take
I agree
When I saw £1.50
I thought
These guys are taking the piss
And the thing is
There's one thing about the Greeks
They're financially very prudent
That is how much A one piece sweet costs In my country I thought that these guys are taking the piss. And the thing is, if there's one thing about the Greeks, they're financially very prudent.
That is how much a one piece sweet costs
in my country.
So,
we went
and watched the cock show.
Yeah, great.
And then I went to the bog.
And when I come out
of the toilet,
he,
who is as straight as they come,
he's all about the pussy,
this guy.
Yeah, he loves pussy.
He was grinding on a gay man. He loves pussy. He was grinding
on a gay man.
Nice.
Yeah?
He's comfortable
with exaggeration.
Exaggerated for comedic effect,
but I'll take it.
No,
he was absolutely.
I was having a dance.
You looked like a pole dancer
on a trial shift
quite rarely trying to pull
the fucking effort in
to get the job.
I'm not even messing.
And I went,
what are you doing?
And he goes,
maybe he will buy us drinks. I'm not even messing. And I went, what are you doing? And he goes, maybe he'll buy us drinks.
Right?
You big slut.
Team player.
Yeah, big slut.
And I went, he's not going to do that.
And the second I finished the final syllable of that sentence,
this guy put his arms around both of us and went,
can I get you two boys a drink?
And I was like, oh, I can't believe that worked,
you fucking man whore.
Well done.
Went to the bar.
Went to the bar. Went to the bar.
The guy stands in front of us, and we're both stood behind him.
And he goes, we'll have six blue wickets, two each.
And then the guy takes his drinks and walks away,
and the bartender looks at us and goes,
your friend says you're paying for these drinks.
Oh, man.
And I said to him, I am more than happy to always get my round in.
I like to think I get my rounding
probably more than
I actually should
because I'm very conscious.
You're very generous.
I told him,
I am not paying
for a single one
of these drinks.
You've done this to yourself.
You're getting them.
So he goes,
okay, I'll get my jacket.
He turns around,
his jacket's been stolen.
Not only was it
his leather jacket,
his favourite leather jacket
that cost him like 300 quid,
real leather
because does he fuck
give a shite about animals,
right? He had all his money in it
he got paid for the gigs
200 quid in cash
from Top Secret
and his video camera
which had all of his recordings
in from all the gigs
he'd done that week
all that for 50p
right
so he makes me stand
outside with him
until the club shuts
an hour later
and they look for it
and say it's not here
and he's just literally
like distraught
and you know
I'm a bit drunk
but I'm trying to console him.
And I was like, Josh, just calm down.
Don't worry about it, mate.
No, I was talking in my own voice.
Oh, okay.
I was like, well, just calm down.
Don't worry about it.
It'll be absolutely fine.
It's his normal voice.
It'll be sound.
It'll be absolutely sound.
Honestly, it'll be fine.
Adam, you don't understand.

What's happening, ladies and gentlemen?
As you may well be aware, this podcast is sponsored by Whoop,
a wearable fitness device that monitors everything for you from your sleep, the strain you're putting on your body, the recovery, all of it.
And it really does know what it's all about.
If you have a few drinks and wake up the next day,
it will tell you you've had a few drinks.
It knows because it knows that your recovery is terrible
because you've ruined your body with ale.
And that's what I've been doing, ruining my body with ale.
And that's why I'm losing.
Dan is also doing quite bad.
He's not here this week, but I have got my assistant,
Peter the Hoverweird Snakes here.
Are you a roof member, Peter?
You are.
That's fantastic news.
Steve and Carl are doing quite well.
They've been wearing it when they go to the ABS gym.
And obviously, if you're in the gym,
you're putting quite a lot of strain on your body,
and it will monitor that,
and it'll tell you how many calories you're burning
on a day-to-day basis
with all the gym equipment you're using. If're going for a run it monitors that it's also
quite good at knowing exactly what you've just done it's a phenomenal fitness device it really
really is to put it in a nutshell it is ai powered coaching functionality that provides personalized
insights and coaching recommendations it basically it doesn't tell you what you have done it also
tells you what you should be doing as well
to get the most out of your Whoop
and out of your fitness regime.
And it's also designed
for 24-7 wear.
You do not wear it
just in the day.
You also wear it to go to sleep.
Isn't that right, Peter?
Well, I don't wear mine to sleep.
I'm a reptile.
You don't sleep
because you're a reptile.
Correct, Adam.
That's interesting.

Ishan's an idiot

oh
I'm here to help
this is from Lee McCrossan maca maca wag wag lids Fine, go on. Ishan's an idiot. This is... Oh, I'm here to help.
This is from Lee McCrossan.
Maka.
Maka.
Wag wag lids.
Asked me a bit the other night if she's ever thought about another guy during sex.
To which she replied, sometimes.
Oh.
Does this count as cheating?
Need the expert advice from the top lids
before I go gung ho on this bitch.
No.
Loving the new studio.
No, it doesn't count as cheating.
The only thing she's done wrong there is told the truth.
Yeah.
This is one of those classic things
where people in relationships say that they want
honesty. They don't.
Honesty is what ruins relationships.
Hang on.
All good, healthy relationships
are built on lies.
Yeah.
We hate women. I love women and that's why i lie to them
to keep their mental health keep their sanity and then when they realize you go i'm not lying
you're lying yeah keep the light going yeah keep it going yeah it's a safe gas lighting what do
you think i mean my previous relationship previous relationship was built on lies,
and let's just say it wasn't the healthiest of relationships.
Yeah, but your previous relationship was a bit fucking insane.
That was fucking insane, though.
It was insane.
Do you want to tell us what happened?
I don't know.
You don't know?
Oh, he's had to.
Honestly.
It's insane.
This is fantastic.
So.
In the worst possible way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So.
This was built on bad lies
just to
before we go into this
I do want to cover this guy's thing
can I just say
it depends
for me
the answer is
who she's thinking of
is it like Brad Pitt
or is it like
her best
her best mate
we'll get back to this
George
who's she's thinking
okay
we want you to tell your story
I'm telling you right now
anyone who asks
those type of questions
in a relationship
wants to cause trouble
yes
because
what's the possible good
can come from that
is that she lies
yeah and you feel
exactly the same
as you did before
don't check your partner's phone
don't ask them questions
like that
you're not going to like
what you're going to hear
and see
I don't know about that one
don't check your partner's phone
because there should be
trust there but there shouldn't be anything to see yeah totally totally. Don't check your partner's phone because there should be trust there.
But there shouldn't be anything to see.
Yeah, totally.
Totally.
But don't check your partner's phone anyway.
But also, do not ask these questions.
Don't ask questions in a relationship with...
Like, obviously, if they're being suspicious
and you've got reason to doubt them,
ask questions because then you've already got to doubt
and you're already feeling like shit.
Yeah.
But if there's no reason to think that there's any problem in your relationship
don't make one like women ask questions like do you think i'm the most beautiful girl in the world
obviously not i would never have asked you out because i'd have been scared you'd have said no
you're not the most beautiful woman in the world you're fine and that's why i like you be honest
what if what if he's asked this question because he wanted to reveal
he's been thinking of someone
the entire time?
But he didn't?
He's now jealous of a man
who doesn't.
What if they're thinking
of the same guy?
Honestly,
I've lost all respect for Mac.
Yeah,
what if they're thinking
of the same guy?
That'd be awkward,
wouldn't it?
So yeah,
don't ask the questions
if you don't want to know
the answers.
But sometimes
was a bit too honest.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean? If she mean if she said oh yeah every time you'd
be like okay he's taking the piss he said no lying but sometimes as you said reflects i like this
girl yeah she answered the question honestly who fuck this who would be the worst person to be
thinking of definitely someone very close to you like her best mate or his dad his dad his dad is
bad no especially his dad is dead. No, her dad's worse.
His brother.
I would quite like if-
Her brother.
My sister was not thinking of any of my close friends.
That would just be, I don't want that.
But I also don't want to ask the question in case it's happening.
What if she was thinking about Vernon Kaye?
It's fine.
Would you ever, if your partner said,
oh, could you do a role play as your best friend?
No. No. I would leave the house. Never return. if your partner said oh could you do a role play as you're your best friend no no
I would leave the house
never return
I think Adam will do
a very good impression of me

Yeah, they used to run the pasta under the cold tap
to soften the knitted.
It was horrible.
She got saved at the last minute because the phone rang.
Wait a minute.
You think that's torture?
It was a horrible thing, right?
She had real PTSD from this.
And then when we were together,
she got pregnant three times and then had three abortions
because she didn't want to uh have the children and you'll come and then you have powerful come
yeah yeah yeah i'm like yeah super sperm and then i found out that everything i've just told you was
a lie she didn't have three abortions she She never got abandoned by her mum. Never happened.
Her ex-husband
didn't deliver with nothing
because she broke up with him.
She wasn't a doctor.
She was not pregnant.
She didn't have any abortions.
Did she have two children?
She did have children,
yeah.
Okay,
so not everything was a lie.
That's definitely not a lie.
Cry the way,
cry the joke.
Not everything was a lie.
How did you find out?
I found out because...
Oh,
the way you found out
was mental.
She was...
We hadn't...
I moved in and she thought I'm still like texting my ex
or my ex or like, you know, seeing my ex.
So I had an argument and she was like,
I'm going to Instagram her and find out if you did it.
And she DM'd her and then she came back and she goes,
yeah, I've got my response.
Get the fuck out of my house. And I was like, show me the phone. then she came back, and she goes, yeah, I got my response, get the fuck out of my house,
and I was like,
show me the phone,
and she's like,
no,
and then we had an argument,
and then,
basically,
well,
I have,
in the,
I have a show about it,
so I,
but,
yeah,
don't ruin the show.
But I had an argument,
and anyway,
she basically, had a, I have an argument. And anyway, she basically,
um,
had a,
she wouldn't shoot the argument.
Well,
she apologized for what she did.
And then she had some chocolate,
had some nuts in it,
had some nuts in it.
She went to hospital to,
um,
um,
for the anaphylactic shock.
And when she was in hospital,
he had just a game over.
And she was like,
how is,
um,
you know,
and,
uh,
I said, yeah yes she's really struggling
with the abandonment uh you know because her ptsd is coming back he's making her furious
and she goes what abandonment now you know when you were little and your mom abandoned you and
she went what i'm like when you were in canada when four and six she was like it's impossible
to be four and six. We're three years apart. End of relationship now.
You're older than she said.
I'm done.
Secondly, we left Canada when I was five and she was two.
And thirdly, my mum never abandoned us.
And I couldn't believe it.
I was like, maybe you're lying to me.
Start with that line.
You're protecting your mum.
And she was like, no, no, she lies.
My sister lies.
That's what she does.
She lies.
And I said, oh my God, we need to go to the hospital.
She can't be treating people.
Like, she's like, yeah.
And she goes.
She's lying to me, man.
Lying in the treatment.
Cause you, at this point,
you still thought she was a doctor.
Yeah, yeah.
You fucking moron.
I love being in control of surgeries.
How could that happen?
And she said, why should you be treating people?
I mean, she's a doctor.
She went,
she's not a doctor,
she's a student nurse.
She told you she's a doctor?
I said, yeah.
And at that point,
I thought to myself,
she's probably not an astronaut as well.
She didn't go to Pluto last week.
She told me she had a wig off.
Yeah, I thought to myself,
you know what,
I might break up with this one.
How long are you together? Two years. She's got some game that's insane did you ever ask her if she thought of
anyone else while you're in bed together um no like the sex was too good imagine if she told
all those lies but then still said yes to that yeah i do yeah all the time yeah she sounds like
she came she came home from the hospital
and we're having a chat
about it
and she confessed
to everything
including the
faked abortions.
She would be at home
riding in pain
for four days in a row
like telling me

and then
What in front of you?
Yeah, yeah.
Faking the pain.
She was crying all night long

Have a word.
This is from Joe Todger.
What's that name?
Well, it's T-O-G-H-E-R.
But I'm choosing to pronounce it Todger.
Joe Cock.
Joe Cock Joe Cock
Wagwan Lids
please could you
have a word with my mate
who is sleeping
with a girl
who has a court case
for drug dealing
he feels ashamed
but also loves the idea
that he's shagging
a bad girl
what should he do
what
he's shagging
a drug dealer
he feels ashamed
of himself
what
what type of drug dealer
is the question?
Is it like,
if it's heroin,
it's questionable.
Yeah,
if she's selling weed.
Yeah.
If she's selling weed
to a couple of little pot men,
like me.
Pot men.
Pot men.
Yeah.
She's on the call.
Adam loves the pot.
Little pot men.
As if Adam has ever experienced drugs.
I'm a little doobie dude now.
I don't know what he lives.
You're not loaded.
Adam's a weed man now.
Are you a weed man?
I'm a weed wellier. Oh yeah. Yeah, a weedman now. Are you a weedman? I'm a weed wellier.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Love alliteration.
The pot man.
Lovely.
Okay.
But if she's selling like crack to kids,
then that's a problem.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I suspect if she's selling crack to kids,
the sex is next level.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's selling crack.
Yeah.
The blowjobs would be amazing.
Like no teeth.
No,
she's not doing crack.
She's not shagging the kids.
So why would the sex be amazing if she's selling crack to kids?
Because the worst person is normally the...
I don't think selling crack to kids
makes you the worst possible person.
It's up there, isn't it?
What would make you...
You don't think selling crack to kids makes you a bad person?
No, I didn't say it doesn't make you a bad person.
It makes you an astute businesswoman.
Yeah, I mean, it doesn't make you the worst person, does it?
I think fucking kids is worse than sending crack to them.
That is true.
Yeah.
You're right.
But they're not a million miles apart, are they?
Well...
Hang on.
So if you saw a woman going,
yeah, kids have some crack,
you're like, at least she isn't shagging them.
Well, I mean...
Where is she doing this?
On the high street?
I reckon...
But the thing is,
it's easier to say no
to someone sending you crack
than getting fucked by someone, isn't it?
What?
So they can't say no, can't they?
Keep digging.
We're all watching.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, explain what you mean.
I would like, yeah, what are you on about?
Please.
If someone, when I was a kid,
if someone came up to me and said,
do you want some crack? I would have said, no, thank you. Yeah. But if I was a kid, if someone came up to me and said, do you want some crack?
I would have said,
no, thank you.
Yeah.
But if I'm being groomed
and they put a cock in my mouth,
it's quite hard to say no, thank you.
It is when you got a cock in your mouth
because you can't speak.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a bottle.
Sylvester Stallone.
There you go.
You can do Sylvester Stallone.
And you're ending
with your cock in my mouth.
Kind of sounds like A deaf person
Rocky 2
And you're anzing
And you're cocking my mouth
I don't hear no bell
I like the politeness
With which you would deal
With a drug dealer
Would you like some crack
No thank you
Yeah 100%
Appreciate the offer
But no
