Wag wag leads.
You're listening to the funniest podcast in the game
with Adam
Dan
Sensei Carl
and Finn
this is the one
and only
have a word
brought to you by
manscaped.com
the very best
in below the belt
men's grooming
go Ed
get on me
so Adam
is dead
Adam's dead
that's what happens
when you go to
Brussels isn't it
you know
well it was a...
Obviously, I don't know if people have seen it on social media,
but Adam decided pretty late in life
that he had a different sexual preference, animals.
Yep.
And he didn't start small, and he went straight for gorilla,
and he got bummed to death.
In Brussels.
In Brussels Zoo
you know
and there was a sign saying
you know
please don't
fuck the gorillas
it was a Dutch guy
that wrote
it was a Dutch guy
that wrote
so Adam's dead
Taylor's all the time
Taylor's all the time
what got bummed to death
in Brussels Zoo
by loads of gorillas
yeah
just be careful
we've got Shane Todd
better
oh you're sexy by loads of gorillas. Yeah, just be careful. We've got Shane Todd. Yay! Better.
Oh!
Press the wrong button.
You're sexy,
we step on you.
No!
Press the wrong button!
It's on the old top of the Forbes thing.
Come on.
There we go.
I'll take that.
Watch.
Shane Todd!
Fucking Finn's
giving me too many buttons.
I think I'd be a good wee stepmommy.
I think people like that.
What?
I'm like the stepmom.
Right.
Because Adam's gone.
Oh, I thought you were linking on from fucking gorillas.
I was like...
Oh, you're a new mummy?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah, I think if you...
That's a body type and profile I have.
But if you came home and your dad's like this,
and he's got something
to tell you
and I was like
too far down the house,
I think you'd conceivably be like,
that's a wee sexy stepmom.
Have we got a Ukrainian refugee?
Oh no, it's Shantan.
If you came home
and you were your new stepdad,
would you listen to you?
No, I,
so I had a stepdad, right?
Which is weird
to have an ex-stepdad.
And he sent me off at my own fifth birthday party,
indoor football.
And it was never a raid.
And I even got the wee boy,
who was, to be fair, crying,
but it was 50-50 tackle.
And I got him to say it wasn't a raid.
And he sent me off.
And I was like,
and he told me to leave the hall.
I was like,
why are we even having cards?
Like he didn't have, you know,
it wasn't clear that he was reffing.
There was no referee really.
He'd ordered cards
just for the chance
that he got to send his stepson off.
Yeah.
And tell you,
at your birthday,
when you were five.
Yeah, straight red.
I'm like,
give me a yellow
and tell him,
I guess my first one.
He's like,
get out.
You're not the real son.
At five?
Were you two studding it?
Fucking two foot in it. I was like, yeah, you're not my real dad. I five? Were you two studding at fucking, two foot and it's five?
I was like, yeah, you're not my real dad.
I haven't spoken to him since.
Yeah, but he is the real ref.
Yeah.
He's not even a real ref.
Did you come back on?
Were you out?
I was out of the hall.
And here's the thing,
you know, like leisure centre doors,
you can still see in a wee panel.
I had to watch everyone having great fun.
At your bit.
The match was more open.
I was just standing in a corridor.
He hit my life he was dead
by Shane's 6th birthday
it was
it was not a red
I still remember the tackle
it was not a red
the boy was called
Owen Care
he was about 3 at the time
I was like
and I was like
it was not
it was his
he was clumsy
you know
I wasn't last man
but he's making a point.
He's basically going like,
you know,
I will send off my own stepson
at his birthday party.
I was like,
you made an example of me
as a yellow vest.
Was there any more
send-offs at the birthday party?
Was there just a whole party
outside the...
Yeah.
You just didn't even keep your...
I don't want you
cake cutting from the car.
Yeah, what happened to his stepdad?
Huh?
What happened to... He's just not my stepdad what happened to
he's not
just not my stepdad
anymore
nice
alright cool
he's still alive
but he's just not
thanks for doing this mate
thanks for having me
we won't send you off
that's a little real
no
yeah
just
you just
send out there
we try and send
other people off
Finn's been sent off
a couple of times
so
Adam's in Brussels,
or is he in Budapest now?
He's in one of the Bs.
Brussels, Bruges, and Budapest.
He's also in Belize as well.
Oh, is he going Bruges, Brussels?
Bursa.
Bursa.
Bursa.
He's doing Bursalpest now.
I'm Bursalpest.
He's doing all the Bs, yeah.
He's basically just drinking Guinness
in other countries for a bit.
Seems we just haven't pints yet.
Yeah.
But luckily, we'll get to see them all on social media.
Have you got any illnesses going on?
Have you got any health updates?
Yeah, I'm getting a colonoscopy on Sunday.
Oh my God.
Oh yes.
Guys, don't think I did.
Now it's time.
It's not time for Shane's.
Yeah.
Yes.
You're too young for the medical bum play.
Hey, this is my first rodeo.
Oh, you've had the colonoscopy before?
Every other week.
No, like seven years ago I got one.
I have Crohn's disease.
Oh.
Oh.
So that's different.
What's that?
What's that?
Good question.
I am not 100%.
I swear I've had this for like 10 years,
but my policy is don't ask and you won't know.
I have a very similar policy with the ingredients of snake.
They put a pipe up your ass and you're asking?
They have a camera, yeah.
So I got it done like seven years ago.
It's just to make sure everything's all good.
Do you know the weird thing is,
the doctor that does it is his former stepdad.
Yeah, it's weird.
And he enjoys it.
So the weird thing is it's a Polaroid camera.
Yeah, I got it done like seven years ago.
Have you had one? I could see you could see you go you you would think with the age of me that i would have had one because apparently i'm already like past my mot right
but i have not don't want to and now everyone's looking at me in a way like I need to
on camera
I haven't had what
the colonoscopy
or the
the
bumoscopy
the colonoscopy
what's a bumoscopy
the bum scop
yeah that's what a colonoscopy is
oh what am I thinking of
yeah what were you thinking of
you're
oh you're thinking of
the thing where they
flush your
suck all your arse
colonic
colonic
rim job
a rim job
you had the rim job yeah I snuck. You had the rim job, yeah?
Yeah, I snuck you out
of the rim job.
Back in the day.
Come over to Belfast,
we'll do all three
in the morning.
What a weird time
to tap you on the arm.
Oh, rim job.
I'm a man for you.
The camera goes up.
GoPro.
Yeah, yeah.
But see when I got it done,
yeah, about seven years ago,
you're lying on your side,
all vulnerable,
there's a camera
going up your arse. The nurse said to me, do you want the TV on? have done yeah about seven years ago you're lying on your side all vulnerable there's a camera going
up your arse they the nurse said to me do you want the tv on and you're kind of out of it with
like gas and air and stuff and i was like yeah yeah you know for like distraction or something
hey it's a feed from the camera i said who wants this i thought she's gonna put on homes under the
hammer i was like i don't want i don't put on judge render I don't want, I don't want, put on George Rinder, I don't want this.
I don't want this.
I didn't know what it was
at first.
I was like,
oh,
this is digging
the Euro tunnel.
Oh no,
it's not.
Cave expedition.
You can watch
your own insides.
Hang on.
When do they start
the camera feed?
Because I actually think
it would be less
upsetting
once it's in
if they went,
now we turn it on.
If I saw a camera, if I saw gopro going towards my hairy ass i know it's not a gopro it is a gopro they make it go outdoors
and all that shit you can tell as well wills are like camera fucking like consiglieri and you know
that he's like oh we should definitely get a fucking colonoscopy camera
it'd be great for conscience
Patreon special
so it doesn't show it
until it's in
they don't flick the TV
on until
no the doctor doesn't
start off in selfie mode
Jesus Christ
you need to get
this fucking asshole
bleached
um
right
so it goes in
and then you get to
watch the whole thing
yep
you get to watch it all
any
any drugs or
yeah poppers no um that'd be useful you so the first time i had you're kind of like out of it
you're a bit woozy but then the second time they went listen see if you're going to be looking
after kids and stuff the next day just go gas and air so i'm going gas and air it's probably more
open there now anyway because the first time went yeah you see I don't think
that's a rookie move there
I'd be like
drug me up
and I will fucking
wobble out of this
and then be like
to your wife
your partner
I cannot look after the kids
they said for 72 hours
so
I'm going to be on the couch
that has been bombed
by a GoPro
also
they've given me the tape
of the film
that they filmed
so let's stick it on.
I want you to live the horror.
What does it look like?
Is it like a,
in my head,
it's like a kebab skewer
with a camera on the end.
Is that right?
I didn't,
I didn't even see
what they had.
I know that the footage,
I know that it could
put anything.
I know that the inside
of you looks like
you're just going through
like an underground
tunnel labyrinth.
Like, you know,
when they went, like when they freed the Chileilean miners it's like constantly looking for imagine
hello get me out of shane's fucking colon 69 of them famously chilean that was my chilean
yeah so i'm i'm i'm excited when's that? Sunday On God's day?
You can't get medically fingered on God's day
Holy communion
And then fucking straight for the wazoo
Do they lube you up?
Do they lube you up?
Good question
Do you know the worst part of it is
You've got to get cleansed before
Not like a spiritual way
You've got to drink
So you clear yourself out So like the night before you've got to get cleansed before it not like a spiritual way like uh you've got a drink so you
you clear yourself out so like the night before you just sit in the bathroom it comes out here
like you piss it out all right so they give you a laxative laxative yep clear out three weeks
do you probably best to use love honey yes if great hang on where's where's smooth where's smooth where's smooth oh shit smooth this is what i've forgotten how to do the buttons um yes if you're getting a colonoscopy
use love honey birthday cake lube oh no fucking hell and ruin two days we've got some over there
i've got a discount code as well for anyone looking to go and ask me in belfast oh really but um todd 10 but yeah every every few years i'll be getting it all right okay cool
well i'm coming over to belfast aren't i so i'm gonna try and we'll do that get us to get me on
laveries i'm gonna come and do your podcast and then i'll double it up with a uh get a camera
yeah the belfast colonoscopy yeah you introduced me to your guy he's my ass guy but the thing the
thing as well is going to do that like obviously belfast small place like the last time i got it
was like young medical staff and i definitely like vaguely knew someone in the room right
that's not like the anesthetist or something you're just you're just very vulnerable on your
side and also for some reason i assumed i would be on all fours doing it.
And the doctor was like,
please don't be in that position.
Oh, you got on all fours?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was my instinct, which is weird.
Can you not demand that?
Huh?
So you listen to what I'm doing.
Like, all fours,
but your legs spread a little bit like a dog.
No, you've got to be on your side.
Fetal position.
No, but what if you say,
I'm not doing it?
I demand it.
I think it would be worse
if you lay on your back
and just threw your legs in the air.
Put the towel where you want.
But this is how I'm fucking lying.
Have you,
I've had a,
what?
Not a colonoscopy.
A colonoscopy.
I've had a colonic.
Have you?
Yeah.
Oh, really?
I've had two.
A regeneration game?
Apparently that's bad for you.
Right.
Because you need...
It gets rid of the bacteria.
Oh, it's also really bad for your soul.
Right.
Because...
Your soul.
Yeah.
It also was bad for the genuine soul of the poor girl that did it right what you're doing to an
asshole it's a tip for tap i said listen you can do me if i can do you and the customer's always
right bus man's holiday for her the court case was a bit of a nightmare um where did you get
it's when i lived in manchester and um why that's not like really far away were you just doing new
experiences yeah it did spring i was on the village it was with a guy called greg um and he
said he was professional it was just around the corner um i booked it online it was like yeah
colonoscopy south manchester colonoscopy not colonoscopy fucking um colonic colonic colonic
clinic and it sounded really proper it was just like a beauticians around the corner it was the
the top room so you go in and just birds getting their nails done and and you're like hi and you
could see it in the girl's face she was like obviously they've been
like oh god there's a it's not happening all the time they're like oh god there's a there's a
colonic booked in and then i roll in fucking overweight bald and you could see her face go
fuck my actual life so we walked up to the top room and they've just turned the attic
into a bum cleaning center but it was loads of romanians big brushes
25 pounds full valley but it was just a small room and obviously with a colonic you need it so they
put liquid in right but then there has to be a place for the liquid to come out so you know like
when people try and do like a cheap airbnb or bB and they go, we need it to be en suite because that'll sell better.
So someone out of like fucking just plywood had made a toilet
in the corner of this room.
Honestly, like balsa wood thin walls.
So she's like, right, could you just get the same position?
I was like, oh, I'm so sorry.
I've never seen my arsehole, Gooch.
I've never sent a dick pic.
I'm not taking pictures of the gooch.
So I imagine it looks pretty bad.
And I went on my side and she was fine and it was warm
and I started getting sweaty.
I was cringing and she just sort of sticks it in,
which feels bad.
And then water goes in and then she's like,
and you will feel the sensation to that you need to poo
and that's fine you can just nip to the toilet and so but i was trying to be things in you well
no because it it it you you back it feels like the lower part of your tummy's filling up so then
cessation is i want to use shit right so after a while you're like oh no i do need to go she's
like just use the toilet and she just put the thing i like got off i
was like oh this is the worst thing ever and then you're in like a like a hospital robe and then
she was like and this is the toilet and i'm not joking she was sat here the table was here
and and the wall of the toilet was here it was like four fucking inches from her head i was like
fine as i closed the door the whole thing
you could feel it was structurally not sound and then you sit on the toilet oh it was so loud
and i could hear her go through the what she heard oh my god why did you why were you getting
the sounds that you were forced into this yeah just one of them things that you're like, oh, I'll try. I'll try this.
No.
You never fancied a colonic?
Don't go to the South Manchester colonic clinic.
How did you feel after it?
Because I think Stacey quit within 20 minutes of me leaving.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We both left the building at the same time.
Both grabbed your coat.
Have you finished for the day?
She was like, I've finished for life.
You said you've had more than once.
Yeah, I went back.
Why?
To see Stacey.
Hang on.
So you had one of the worst experiences ever
and thought, I'll do that again.
Yeah, I got talked into it by a mate
and we went to a place in...
Oh, a different place.
Near Clitheroe that was dead professional and quite good you and the mate uh allison june smith my mate allison who's a
comedian right we were thinking of starting a podcast this is about seven years ago two options
start a podcast or go for a call
that was fine that was fine that was way less do you see at all
haven't you got like
five year old steaks
up your arse
well
look fully formed
rib eye
oh I like
I see you like it
medium rare
now they would say that
they say that
but I just don't
I think it's bullshit
right
I think it's just a way
to get like 80 quid
off your tour
innit
do you feel good after it not the first like 80 quid off your, isn't it? Do you feel good after that?
Not the first one.
80 quid is too cheap.
You know,
I'd like to be spending
more than that.
I'd be like,
I'm getting something good.
Yes.
What in your head?
That's professional.
A thousand pound car.
For someone to want
to pipe up my ass.
Car,
but you overpay
for a lot of stuff.
I got messages going
20 quid an hour
for dog sitting
is fucking mad. I was was people on my side i
underpay for child care right i underpay 10 pound an hour oh no no no no oh is that too low yeah yes
20 20 quid an hour for a dog yeah that's too much isn't it yeah but it sounds like it's outpriced
for a reason they're turning business down they're you client, I want the expensive cleaning to be done to it.
I want a professional service.
That makes me feel like they must be top of the game.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can pay in cash to get your arsehole plumbed in.
I want like we only take card,
and it's like we need like
a 50% deposit
before you get there
I think it was on Groupon
no
never get your bum
cleaned on Groupon eh
have you seen people
put healthy shit
up their own arse
this is the new one
isn't it
yeah
what do you mean
you put someone else's
healthy shit
into your bum
oh a fickle transplant
yeah that was 95
I wasn't willing to pay
plus Stacey said she was constipated into your ball of a fecal transplant. Yeah. That was 95. I wasn't willing to pay.
Plus Stacy said she was constipated.
Yeah.
That's a different level in it.
You actually have someone's healthy plop put up your bum all.
Yeah.
I'm out.
Even on Groupon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's I'm out of that.
Just leave me alone.
Yeah. Well, I'll do it. I'm out of that. Just leave me ass alone.
Yeah.
Unless it's medical.
I'll do it. I'll get a colonic now.
I'll get a colonic.
Just for,
just the story.
Here on my flight,
there's until seven tonight.
Cool.
Then you're an expert.
Get a joint one.
Let's get a deal,
two of us for 100 quid.
Same room.
Can we get to South Manchester and back?
Yeah,
I don't want a big machine sucking shit out of my ass.
Do you see it all?
You what?
Can you see it?
The degeneration thing?
Is that like a leaf extractor?
I was correct.
I have to clear this out.
Got a special bin.

Which is a great name for a podcast
What happened?
So here's what I would do
I would do
I was doing episodes all by myself
Like I'd record it by myself
Right right right
Upload it
There was nobody else
And it would be like
Every Wednesday guys
Do a big announcement
It's coming
The Shane Toddcast
Every Wednesday
I'd do two episodes On consecutive Wednesdays Miss a week and then go i'll do it next week miss another
couple of weeks and then eventually when i got around to doing it after like a three week break
i go here it is guys season two of the shane there was like 12 seasons and 19 episodes it was always
coming back for a new season is that why you started doing it with like because yeah kieran's
the one that you started like is it two years ago you just posted that picture of two years ago yeah and it looked like
you'd been held hostage like it was above it was there was like a retail space or like a space we
had like an office space above a restaurant and you can only get to it by walking up the fire
escape of the back of a restaurant walking walking across the roof of the restaurant.
It sounds like where I get my colonics.
It sounds very familiar.
We were doing that too in the early days.
Oh, Ciarán.
Suppling at the pot.
Oh, whoop, whoop!
It was just Ciarán.
It was just Ciarán with a tube, just...
Oh, Ciarán.
Yeah!
He's the perfect replacement for Raoul.
So, and yeah, the place was a complete shithole started doing their move to a slightly nicer office and then ended up where we have now
and then we go every friday this is what we're doing it and i remember saying to the guys at
the start i was like i i'll try to commit every friday but just for like my schedule and people
want me to do stuff probably won't be able to i've never missed a friend i've never like had any offer it's important the regularity is important
i fucking love your clips cheers it's they're so they're so good um the belfast scene's flying as
well isn't it it's it's like here as well you know like liverpool it's just and i think maybe
places like glasgow too i don't know
whether it's like a working class industrial city kind of thing but people have realized
instead of going to the arena to see international comedians or tv comedians it's all there on our
doorstep so for the price of one of those big arena nights out you can go see three or four
grassroots kind of comedy nights,
which you're getting more variety at.
Yeah.
You know, it's easier to get drinks,
all that kind of stuff.
But yeah, the scenes, I think pound for pound,
it's as good as any,
because it's a tiny place, no weekend clubs.
So it's mainly Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
but it's brilliant.
It's just a better night for stand-up anyway.
Yeah.
For proper stand-up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And there's like seven or eight names
that I keep seeing
that are just absolute fucking dynamite.
And it's people like supporting their own.
Like that doesn't happen in many other places.
You know, people prefer like more exotic names
or these people need to have the,
if you haven't been on Live at the Apollo,
you know, people don't care.
Our most popular guest in the last two months,
numbers wise, was fucking Freddie.
Yeah.
And we've had some absolute hitters
and that's nice and we always want those guys on.
But also because we've done the same thing,
you've got your boys, Brennan's on today.
Yeah.
Another one of them.
Like, yeah, you rely on the talented people
that you know.
Yeah.
A fucking class. The great thing is having been on the scene from when it was so like when there was nothing
like i'm doing stand-up like yourself like a long time and it's great to like there's so many people
that are starting now and they don't realize how good it is like how lucky they have it and like
you get to be old man the old man i remember It's like guys that joined The last week Of man
Right
You know what I mean
And they're wrapping it all up anyway
You know what I mean
Like it's basically over
It's like the last day of term
And you're like
You weren't here
How long have you been in stand up for
16 years
Fucking hell
I know
Wow how old are you
34
So yeah
About the same as them
I remember coming over to Liverpool
When Hot Water was just
I was in the Crown Hotel
Yeah
Oh you were a Crown OG?
Yeah.
Oh, it was fucking minging, that pub.
Paul Smith.
It wasn't minging.
It was just very...
Ghetto.
Yeah, it was just a pub that needed a bit,
but actually,
there was a real fucking charm to it.
Oh, yeah.
I looked at it and went,
this won't work.
Like, this shouldn't work.
Brilliant.
I was being called for a little tour,
you know, the owner, doesn't he?
He's what? Because when the train strikes were happening, because it's work, this shouldn't work. Brilliant. I was being called for a little tour, you know, the owner, doesn't he? He's what?
Because when the train strikes were happening,
because it's next door to Lamb Street,
because they were picketing there,
he's like, you're affecting my business.
And his business was the people picketing,
going in and getting drinks and food,
and he's kicked off with them,
and everyone's going, oh, let's boycott this fucking tour.
Oh, that's not a fucking good move in Liverpool, is it?
Yeah.
Without, because there'll be a load of your fans
that have seen this clip, but I saw a clip of you,
the one about the noisy neighbours.
Mate, just go and follow Shane and also follow Tea with me
and just, you'll see
the clips come out
I don't
I can't take any credit
for clips
like as soon as I wrap up
the episode
are you out?
you walk out
and it's
it's Michael and Dan
we've got
well is it
are they the boys?
yeah
well without Carl Fitton
and the whole team
doing the production
but from when I started
I was trying to do all that myself
I just just can't do it it's impossible without other people helping out you had noisy neighbors
yeah so so my dad is like a bit of a cat like i talk about my dad and stand up a lot
but i was 72 now it's just like a wee character so my dad yeah he's my dad's probably like five
foot four guy about time everybody kind of knows him in Hollywood already and we live in a well when I live with my dad we live in semi-detached house really small
house like two-bedroom and the neighbors you would hear then what the neighbors watch on TV yeah that
kind of thing and always kind of like got on like alright with neighbors like no problem like
nice people no real interaction with them and then whenever I was maybe suppose I was like 14
the Sun next door would have been movie 15 years a year older me and he got decks for Christmas
which like don't do that you know me like because don't do that because You know what I mean? Like, because, don't do that because either play decks
at top level
or like,
it's so naff
if like at ambient level.
Yeah.
You've got the whole thing going
and it's like low,
you know?
But,
so he got decks
and my dad's like,
fuck's sake.
Heard that he got decks
and for the first while,
didn't he?
He obviously wasn't ready
to start using the decks.
All right.
And then gradually,
you'd like,
you'd hear a bit of music
pumping out when he thought we'd left the house. So he'd wait until he saw the cars go and then gradually You'd like You'd hear a bit of music Pumping out
When he thought we'd left the house
So he'd wait until he saw the cars go
And then he
Oh he's trying to be sound

I was like
I'm burning through the track
I'm like track seven on the album
And still it's like And his music's getting louder my dad's like for fuck's sake what's
happening you need to get it louder and i was like oh i don't know what's happening i realized
headphones were plugged in to the jack of the of the hi-fi i went all right the headphones
are plugged in when i took them out like my dad's say like five foot four or so 72 my dad when i
took it out was standing in
line of the speaker my dad nearly went through the wall like we nearly ended up in this guy's house
like i can't describe the noise because it wasn't like built for the noise to be that loud and it
just like exploded into this like my house turned into like a big garage bomb and and i just remember like the wall nearly bursting through and and and we um
that guy there was like a bit of a argument then and about two weeks after that the guy he continued
to like play music i never really told this in a podcast but my dad because it came to me after
the the guy next door his dad and his da's mate Were all standing in their garden
And there'd been something with music
Or a disagreement about something
And my da one day just went
Fuck it
I jumped the wall
What do you mean?
He goes
I jumped over the wall to them
My da hopped over the wall
That short guy
But he said when he jumped over the wall
My da wouldn't be like a fighter or anything
He had nothing to like
No next move
So he said he had
to just continue the conversation they've been having over the wall but he was just now in their
garden so he hopped the wall and they were like oh what's happening here and my dad's like just
i'm just saying just keep it down see but yeah i can still remember the noise of that jack coming
out oh amazing just seeing my dad's head yeah when me and Laura lived in Leeds, we lived in a student area
because we were like,
oh, it's near Headingley,
it's near town,
beautiful spot.
And we had,
it was like an old house
that had been turned into flats
and done badly again.
Not quite balsa wood,
colonic fucking en suite bad,
but not far off.
And the lads underneath us used to,
I think they were like getting used to being deep,
like practicing, doing the same as you were.
I think they had a gig on a Tuesday night
because it was always Tuesday tea time
that they were practicing.
And then all of a sudden it gets to nine,
everything would go off and they just,
you'd hear a taxi and they were gone.
So very regularly in term time,
you'd get back,
Laura would get back from work Tuesday.
I never gigged on a Tuesday.
It was a nice, nice night.
And then you'd just be watching The Weakest Link or something
and from underneath.
Horrific.
And then one New Year's Eve, I did a massive bit about this.
One New Year's Eve, they were still going.
As we got back from our New Year's Eve,
they were still obviously pilled up and still going and we got back at 11 in the morning we'd been at mates
the night before and and i was hung over you know when you're hung over and you're like
just want to watch something just a film yeah and because it was new year's day uh sound of music
was on and i was like oh my god i was just going through the channels i was like i'm so hung over i sort of want to watch the sound of music and underneath they were still
and we watched because i was too hung over to confront them we watched the whole of the sound
of music with a techno underbeat and laura's like i'm gonna go and deal with it i was like i can't
i'll cry i'll knock on the door be sick and then weep so I'm just gonna put up with it but honestly that that the sound of music
to a techno underbeat is quite something like how do you solve a problem like
and I and Laura's never done drugs and she was like I don't get it yeah what what is going on
it's nearly midday and they're still going.
It's weird.
But they went
all the way down.
She actually went,
are they on drugs?
I was like,
yeah,
yeah,
they are.
My neighbours are there.
Not gin and tonic,
is it?
The neighbours who share my wall
are moving.
I'm so scared.
Oh,
that's a lucky dip,
isn't it?
For who you're going to get.
I've walked past
when they've been doing viewings
and they go
yeah we've had some young couples
and
we've had a lot of
retirees
a lot of old people
I'm like yeah
they're probably the best people
to buy off them actually
yeah you know
probably cash buyers
no messing about
it's like yeah
you go with the old people
because they're just not
going to get some fucking
the ball coming
he's going to start DJing
or something
and I've got no patience.
An elderly Asian couple would be ideal.
Yeah.
I think I said that.
If you could pick.
And is that,
are you speaking from experience there?
A lot of elderly Asian couples in Hollywood?
There isn't,
but like,
I'd love to see it,
but I just think.
Well,
when I was living away,
because the walls are so thin,
I could hear the fella next door snoring.
And I used to and I used to
I used to punch the wall
every night
to wake him up
but that lasts like
what 30 seconds
doesn't it
when he falls back asleep
and I put my
I put my hand
through the wall
just grab them
so literally like
next to your bed
and I just
I got pissed off
all night
and put my hand
like put my hand
through the wall
yeah
and then when I moved out
I'd just bought,
I'd cut a little bit of wallpaper.
I think old people,
like Shawshank,
it's like a rack of old wealth.
That's literally what I did.
I got it from under the bed
with these wallpaper
because this is a rented apartment.
Right.
Cut a bit out with a knife
and stuck it over.
Right.
And didn't say nothing.
I think old people,
you aren't going to be a pain with noise,
but they could be whingy at you.
When they're quiet.
We're rarely quiet.
Right, okay.
Because our living room is on the other side of the house
to the wall that we share.
And so is our bedroom.
The only thing that we share is a spare bedroom
and the dressing room.
We haven't got a...
So we're lovely.
Yeah, we're sound.
We've got dog owners on one side.
They're dead loud, but they are lovely people
and really like us that they literally came to see my fucking tour show they're so sound my
neighbor on the other side still isn't talking to we're not talking to him that was rough at um
the comedians club chester i've run my gig in chester and a light came up after it was like
all right down and we i do a bit of a. If anyone wants to say hello, they're welcome to say hello.
But because it's in Chester where I live,
we've got people from Sorghal, my village.
And he was like, I live in Sorghal.
I was like, oh, cool.
He was like, I'm the nephew of your neighbor that you don't like.
I was like, no.
I was like, oh.
Had you done a bit about it?
I talk about it on the podcast.
Yeah.
I was like, no, it's just a joke.
He was like, no, I don just a joke. He was like,
no,
I don't think it is.
So,
Martin,
Martin knows.
Also,
the people who we've known are both doctors.
So that's lovely to have next door
and the proper lovely people.
Why is it lovely to have two?
Two doctors.
Right.
She's an eye doctor
and he's a general doctor.
So if anything goes wrong.
Yeah.
But they could be like,
mate,
I'm off
I'm out
No we never have
I've clocked off
But I feel like
You know what I mean
An emergency
You have two doctors next door
You want the eye doctor
Even though
He's a general doctor
You want the
See someone with a bit of speciality
See GPs
I just
Don't trust them
General
Oh really
It's a bit vague
Jack of all trades
Yeah that's what you don't want
That's what you don't want to hear from a doctor
I'm a jack of all trades Master of none Be's what you don't want. That's what you don't want to hear from a doctor. I'm a Jack of all trades.
Master of none.
Be a master of one.
Get the eye doctor in.
Specialise.
Oh yeah, you want to...
I'm gutted.
I'm so sad.
What are the dream neighbours if you...
Them?
Quiet doctors.
Doctors on one side,
a plumber on the next.
If they were Asian,
two elderly Asian doctors,
you'd be laughing.
Yeah.
You'd be like,
trust me, you'd be laughing.
I think they're holding out for that,
so they're going to be a while moving out. Shane's moving to blackburn he's gonna really love it well just quiet neighbors who look after your house doesn't have a small i was talking about

There was a time

he's never seen
the countdown

I swear I haven't
we went to do it
like two years ago
like two years ago
my wife went
we'll stay up for the countdown
and I was like
why and she went
I'll set my alarm
and I was like
why would we wake up
To watch it happen?
What the fuck?
Oh my god
I like to get up early boys
And seize the day
New Year's Day
No one's up
But what time do you get up?
Out of your own choice
I get up
I have to get up
When my puppy is seven
But if it's on the weekend
Like I'm setting us up
Nine
Nine
Nothing's happened
Six till nine
Everything happens
Nine till midnight
Nature starts
I get up around ten
If I've not got anything on
Yeah but he's a pothead
Can I just
Well you know what
My bedtime's out
I'll be laughing when you guys
Are enjoying hell together
Average is like
Three, four
AM
And you get up at ten
What?
Come on bro
Four AM
Yeah
Actually when I was your age Why do we start talking about this?
The gig.
Late night.
Oh, right.
I'm so sorry.
So I'll tell it really short.
No, no, don't.
Tell it proper.
I interrupted you.
I arrive.
It's 9.45.
Hot water.
They're like, oh, it's sold out.
I was like, yeah, but inside I'm dying, right?
Because I'm like, what time am I getting back to this Novotel?
So I've just given away where I stay when I'm in Liverpool.
There's like five of them. No one will care. Anyway, I arrive down to this? No, Vitella. So I've just given away where I stay when I'm in Liverpool. There's like five of them.
No one will care.
Anyway, I arrived down to this gig.
I go, let's just try and have a good time.
Vittorio's like, are you okay?
I was like, I'm fine, but let's just wrap this up.
He's like, is your show on air?
I'm like, it's 15 minutes tonight.
So we get there and everyone's in and ready to go.
And John's doing tech. And I think Binti's there.
And it's all good.
And I'm like, it's one of the last shows of the tour.
And then all of a sudden, fire alarm goes off.
And you know nowadays when a fire alarm goes off,
you're like, you laugh.
You're like, it'll be off in a second.
This stays on and people are running out of the room
and going out to fire exits.
And what's good is the staff kept their calm. I say that, a manager walked into the room and going out the fire exits and what's good is the staff
kept their calm
I say that
a manager walked
into the room
went it's a real
fucking fire
and I went oh
well if that hadn't
said in that accent
maybe I would have
been this freaked out
but when it's a real
fucking fire
I was like ah
so here's the thing
that's just the alarm
it's a fucking fire
lad
I've evacuated that room
three times
and it's the basement
it's fucking awful it's the basement. It's fucking awful.
It's the basement.
And here's the thing,
I just, and I don't like to,
I had just bought a coat that day
at the Zara in Liverpool 1
and it may or may not have been 95 quid.
So I remember running out
and they were like, just run out
and I looked at Vittorio
and we got to the top of the stairs
and I was like,
do the right thing.
You know what I mean?
I was like, Vittorio,
go back and do the right thing.
Go get my coat. But he didn't bring it up so I wasn't going to bring it. mean I was like Vittorio go back and do the right thing go get my coat
but he
he didn't
he didn't
he didn't bring it up
so I wasn't gonna bring
I was like
Vittorio
oh my coat's in there
he's like
oh man it's only a coat
and I was like
I'll go and get it
so I
I ran down
like through the
through the smoke
to get
I remember going back
to grab my coat
and I was like
thank god
got out
the entire gig
was out on the street
everybody was there
like 24 people
no it was it was it was packed it was it was the street. Everybody was there, like 24 people.
No, it was packed.
It was the florist,
looked like a footy,
like a footy stand.
Yeah.
It was hundreds of people. It was a whole road
and it's people from back home mainly.
So everyone's like singing and everything
and you're out there with them
and everyone's like,
what's happening?
And I was like,
I don't know,
I don't know.
And we're standing there for ages
and it's like 10 o'clock
and I was like,
it'd be mental for this gig to happen because how am i going to talk about any material after this like wild stuff's happened oh hot water will always be inclined to but i mean the fire could
have done serious damage three people could have lost their lives and binti would be like we can
run it at 11 30 no we're just going to knock it back and that is what happened because there was a fire and and i i genuinely said to the manager like joking i went well thank god it was
only in the basement she's like yeah yeah she goes don't worry loaf of a fire all the time i was like
i don't tell me don't tell me and sort the problem the fire brigade came and and uh uh there was a
home during it all i'm standing there the whole crowd's there me and
vittorio just stand there like what are we gonna do adam arrives and goes why don't we just try
and do it in this bar across the road there's a bar across the road and what do you mean he goes
me and you go over to the bar ask the barman will they put the show on and they'll get a load of
custom out of it you can still do the show and i went right we go over there's nobody else there
and the barman lapped it you have that phrase over here he bottled it he laughed okay he went oh
no i don't think so all right we get back the they're like oh we're gonna do the show and i
went she will not just like get it on a different night the audience are going to the off license
at this point we went to flute we went to pub next door and there's a lot of guests in there
just going off yeah everyone just went for pints and they were like, we're still doing the show
and I was like,
this is going to be a disaster.
Like, we shouldn't be doing this.
But by the way,
the firemen were like,
there's still a couple of guys down there.
There was like two guys,
like the band and the Titanic.
A couple of guys were not leaving their pints.
They were going down with their pints.
You guys from back home were like,
we'll see.
Fucking bit of fire.
Yeah.
They flooded downstairs.
They had the hose going down and they just flooded the downstairs. Yeah, the kitchen'll see. Fucking bit of fire. Yeah. They flooded downstairs. They had the hose going down
and they just flooded the downstairs.
Yeah, the kitchen,
the fire was in the kitchen.
Yeah.
And the staff kept telling me,
don't worry, this is normal.
I was like, this isn't normal.
Hot water's got a kitchen.
It's a, it's not a kitchen,
it's a keg room.
Oh.
Right, all right.
So by the time we did,
it was that late
that they were like,
still, I,
do you still want to do a show?
It was like,
the whole audience
definitely want the show to happen.
So Vittorio did,
we're going to have 15 minutes interval,
then me.
He was like, why don't I do a shorter set?
So he did five,
took a bit of the sting out of it,
like took one for the team,
did some brilliant crowd work
and then was like,
we all know there was a fire.
I came straight on and it was,
and I was so nervous about it
because I was like,
I have to do the tour show.
Did like five minutes about the fire at the was like, I have to do the tour show. Did like five minutes
about the fire at the start
and then was able to do the tour show
and it was the best show of the tour.
Oh, amazing.
It was so good.
It was bouncing, wasn't it?
And at the end of it,
some guy said,
Shane Todd's on fire.
Hot water's terrified.
Yeah.
And John put it on
at the end of the show
in the room,
the song,
Gallifrey From Desire,
and everyone sang it,
and I was bouncing up and down stage.
It was splashing.
I was crying walking home.
Fucking Peppa Pig.
I was crying walking home.
It was like 20 past 12 here.
It's the next day.
What's the latest you've ever been to sleep?
I don't mean like night out.
I mean like you're having a bad one,
like at home,
going to have some snacks and go to bed late
I would
you shouldn't be having snacks late
but
no you shouldn't be having
no you don't have snacks late
what time does Nando close?
that's the end of eating
the latest I leave
is
half eight
right
but if I'm
of my own free will
say my wife and kids
Are away
And free house
I can go to bed
Whatever time I want
Not depending on kids bedtime
Or anything like that
Go on
I promise I'll not exaggerate this
I'd probably
Go to about eleven
And feel bad about it
The next
I'd be like
Fuck
I would be the big man
Be like
I'll just watch the end of this
And I'd go to bed
Being like
I'm a fucking lunatic Like at eleven 11 wild I I've got hot water tonight and I thought I'd
applied to just do the opening I love the early show and binti messaged back he went cool first
show time is this this stage time second stage time is 10 past 11 and my heart absolutely sank.
So last night, I tried to train myself to go to bed later
and I got to half 10 and I was like,
I was falling asleep on the couch.
We used to go out at 2am on nights out.
Right.
You know the way they're like,
oh, the club actually opens at 8.30,
but yeah, everyone goes at like 11 or something.
If not early.
I'll be there when they open up.
There's times where I'm leaving
before anyone's arrived.
There's places you can't go in town
before 2am,
otherwise there's nobody there.
I don't mind doing that,
but that'll be the start of my morning.
I don't mind waiting for that.
Before they've been to sleep.
Oh, that's mad.
That makes me anxious.
We used to go to club nights
where it was like that but obviously again
it's the same as new year's eve mary fucking not mary poppins sound of music there was there was a
hard house night in manchester on the village called the breakfast club and that started at
6 a.m and went through to like midday so people had been to a club night some people had been
like home to an after party and then because they were still pilled up would go back out or they'd just stay out and the djs would just set an alarm they'd
maybe dj the night before go home get some sleep set an alarm drive in like they were commuting to
work and start djing at 6 a.m oh yeah yeah if you told me to meet you at the breakfast club at 6 a.m
i'd be like great what gluten-free oh my I have? Oh my God, it's so dirty.
It's so dirty.
Do you not feel like you're missing out?
No.
So what time do you get up?
If I'm with the kids, it's different.
But if I had my own choice, I'd probably have seven, something like that.
It's nice.
So you get a plop of like 10 hours.
Oh, this is coming for you, kid.
This is coming for you.
I cannot wait for my kids to be older.
They're all lying in.
Fuck me, it's going to be beautiful.
You'll be like, oh, man, I just have to get to bed.
It's going to be fucking great.
No, I get up at seven with the pub, so I'm still up early.
Well, when I went on tour for the first time when the kids came along
and I was staying, obviously, by myself here in Manchester or wherever,
I was like, brilliant, I'm going to stay in bed until, like, nine.
I was walking hotel corridors at about seven,, wherever. I was like, brilliant. I'm going to stay in bed until like nine. I was walking hotel corridors
at about seven.
They're like,
has anyone here burped?
That's mad.
I,
if I,
if I,
no,
I can't do it.
I have to make sure that
I have eaten finished.
No.
Yeah.
The day isn't done
until midnight.
Nah.
What,
even if you're just at home?
Yeah.
Things haven't finished yet. Just watching The Good Wife. I don't watch The Good Wife. What, even if you're just at home? Yeah. Things haven't finished yet.
Just watching The Good Wife?
I don't watch The Good Wife.
What do you watch?
Grey's Anatomy?
Grey's Anatomy, yeah.
Yeah.
Cannot miss it.
Because if you don't watch it that night,
it's not going to be on, is it?
That's how Netflix works.

Let's set that fire alarm off.
Question from Ross.
What's happening, Lids?
As a music fan, I find the changeover between bands
sets annoying and boring just waiting about.
So say a huge band or soloist like Lewis Capaldi,
who I fucking love and we want on this couch,
is a fan of yours and asks you to do a 10, 15-minute set
between bands.
Would you do it with the potential to have your comedy
heard by thousands of people each night?
Buzzing for the live pod in Glasgow.
Tickets at haveawordlive.com.
Glasgow's going to fucking bounce.ordlive.com. Yes.
Glasgow's going to fucking bounce.
Oh, yes, it is.
You know, we were talking about not boozing on tour.
I didn't booze loads on tour,
but randomly had some really fucking heavy nights out,
like after the restaurant special.
I'm boozing at all of these podcasts, live shows.
Oh, it's Dublin, Newcastle, Glasgow.
We're going to all of the fun places to drink.
And Birmingham will be fine.
Birmingham will be good.
I'll be driving home.
Go for a curry.
It is.
Feels like, honestly, there's a subtext to what I'm saying.
It feels like I've got a problem.
The Midlands are getting it.
Mate, Birmingham is great for a curry.
Oh, no, it is.
And I will not say anything else,
but it's good for a curry.
What's your go-to food when you're on tour?
I'll bring my own.
Packed lunch.
You're a, listen, you're a crazy, crazy guy.
Nando's.
Always, everywhere.
That's just solid, isn't it?
Yeah.
It doesn't make people like,
I don't really like
no it's just
chicken and chips
yeah done amazing
exactly
who's the band
that if they asked you
you'd consider it
usually
I think this would be
a no for
for me
for most bands
it doesn't go
does it
music and comedy
in terms of
serious music
can do
that used to be huge
that thing
yeah
like you meet loads of like
older comedians
who are like
I used to open for these bands
and
was it the
who was the band
this is going to test your knowledge
John Squires was in
after the Stone Roses
was it the Seahorses
yeah
I think the Seahorses
used to have
good knowledge mate
saw them live
so
you know Roy Walker
catchphrase yeah we know his son Phil oh yeah yeah yeah say what you say Good knowledge mate Saw them live So You know Roy Walker Hatchface
Yeah
We know his son Phil
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah
Say what you say
Roy used to open for
Tom Jones
What?
Yeah he used to open for Tom Jones
Doing like
Traveling all around
And he would do
A 45 minute set
And then
Tom Jones would
Sing his songs
But
Roy
He told this brilliant story
Where he In Belfast he was a
lounge singer and did comedy so they would have done all the covers of the day and he would do
Delilah and all these Tom Jones songs and when he did the Apollo with Tom Jones he did like
90 shows or something um a wee old couple from Belfast came up to him after and the the husband
went oh that was brilliant Roy great to see you up to him after and the husband went, oh, that was brilliant, Roy.
Great to see you over here
doing brilliant.
And the woman went,
I thought you were great,
but I didn't like Tom Jones.
And Roy went, oh, did you not?
And she went,
he's nicking your songs.
I like the idea,
but it's a novelty.
It'd be something different.
I wouldn't want to go on a whole tour
with a musician
because let's face it,
it's probably going to be shit.
But the idea of doing like an arena or some really cool venue
There's got to be somebody
who you would love to be with on tour
surely
I love the Rolling Stones
plus those guys are at an age
where their routine's probably going to fit mine
Do you know what I mean?
Nah, I don't know
They're all talk
They do heroin
early afternoon
and then have a nice bed
I went to see them
in Crowe Park
and Mick Jagger
kept disappearing
he'd like be
halfway through a song
and he'd disappear
slightly off stage
and everyone's like
oh and my wife's like
I wonder what he's doing
because it looked like
he was going to like
maybe take coke
I could see him
from where we were
he had a wee hanky
at the side of the stage
and was blowing his nose
I was like
that's so nice I thought he was going his nose I was like that's so nice
I thought he was going
to be having a piss
that's when you know
you're old
how many
how many pisses
do you need mid show
well it's up to three
yeah
I get what
Shay means
it's not a
it's not a
it doesn't
feel like it's going to be
loads of fun
Lewis Capaldi
maybe
because I think
young girls though
right
you're the fun
crowd don't you
so
like a non
taking
like
no one's doing support
for Radiohead
no
do you like the
Cortinas or something
the Arctic Monkeys
like young
oh my god
it'd be so rough
Cortinas
the Cortinas
yeah
they still
smashing out
not 19 forever yeah I mean three times a set yeah but like
i think that audience is what you'd be going for maybe dj yoda did a tour with a vj like a video
dj and got carl donnelly to do support for it and i went down because dj yoda's really good
great and the vj thing's a very visual,
it's part DJ gig, part live performance,
but also like a show.
It's really good.
But he wanted standups to support him.
And I went to watch Carl do it twice
just because I was fascinated.
And it was not,
you know when you're watching one of your favorite comics
and there's just that sort of professional empathy of like,
oh, this doesn't look easy. Because people's just that, that, that sort of professional empathy of like, Oh,
this doesn't look easy.
Cause people are just stood going,
what?
Yeah.
What did Nate Bargatze say about standup when people aren't expecting standup?
It doesn't feel like comedy.
It just feels like a mean speech.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That they were,
they weren't being dicks.
It just didn't feel like it suited the night.
Yeah.
Um,
if I asked you to open up for me would you
this podcast has got to go arse over tit when you're getting me to support you
i'm just telling i'm not saying no because we never know what i mean adam's dead and he so
is this sustainable is he going to commute um yeah i would yeah i would yeah i'll bear that in mind cool
but i think would you support me i've kind of i've both supported each other kind of we do
emotionally yeah get this get this band together because we've got big shows coming up this year
fucking get your band together.
It's happening. And then, you know.
It's happening.
But I did one of your phase one shows
when you were doing That Night in Gallifrey.
I didn't enjoy that.
No, they didn't either.
That was key.
No, no one did.
No, they did.
They did.
Yeah, I just felt it didn't work.
So what's hard for any performer,
and I don't give a fuck what you do,
is if you are not the reason someone's come to the show.
If you're a corporate, you can have good corporates,
but they're hard because people are like,
what's this?
We just came for our awards.
If you do support for a band,
it's in the same sort of thing like whenever
you get booked for a gig and they're like oh yeah it's this festival thing and it's you're on the
main stage and you just fit like it's shit because people are just sat there waiting for the thing
they actually came to see yeah and i think even though a load of people were lids that night
they'd come to see stand-up and then you come on they're like oh cool it's finn but they're also
needing to go and buy a drink drink it's not it doesn't work
the way around
I don't think
you can have a musician
supporting a comic
imagine like
waiting for like
yeah
a rapper comes on
and you'd be like
what the fuck
and like outdoor stuff
I did
by mistake
a gig for the
Platinum Jubilee
like I did
I got told
it's an outdoor
summer gig
and we went yeah yeah, sounds good.
You can get a couple of mates to do support.
I was like, yeah, brilliant.
Got the venue.
It was good money.
It was like happy days.
I said, what's it for?
Like summer party, mate.
It's council organising.
I was like, yeah, excellent.
Got tagged on something on Facebook
that it didn't really look at.
And then a mate.
You and Jack behind you.
It was a purple like like, Queen's thing.
It was a poster of me with a purple background
and the crown either side of me.
And I went, that needs to be changed immediately.
Also, why is it saying this is for the Jubilee?
And they went, it is for the Jubilee.
And I went, Jesus Christ.
So we, it was like a heated thing. And I went, Jesus Christ. Shane's doing a march. So we,
it was like a heated thing and I went.
Can you literally not,
that,
if you're a Belfast comic,
you cannot do that sort of.
You could,
you could,
because you can,
because then you can,
you can do stuff
and like you can do,
I do community festivals
that would be considered
one side or the other.
I'd do any of them.
People want to come and see you.
That's fine.
Right.
But I just didn't, wasn't told what it was from the start.
I would have went, that's going to be a tricky gig.
The idea of a summer party outdoors sounds fun.
But anyway, we went and did it.
I was like, okay, we'll just go do this.
And they took the poster down and it was fine.
But it was really sad because we were told
it was going to be 7,000 people.
And the stage was set up for about 7,000 people.
When I say it was maybe 300,
it was a vast open space
and they were watching live satellite
from whatever the Jubilee stuff in London was
and I was told half an hour
and my openers were to do 10 minutes each.
You know the way that a corporate,
you're always like, if you're booked for half half an hour sometimes you'll be like let me just do
we'll do 25 and see how they go right so you're trying to like get your spot to be quicker guy
comes up to me backstage with an earpiece and he's like man i'm so sorry about this and i was like
what is it he goes it's just the the duration of the set and i thought he's going to go i need you
to do 40 can you fill a bit more time?
He went, I'm really sorry,
but could you do just seven minutes?
And I went,
I went,
all right,
I guess.
And I think I went under time.
Thanks very much.
That's my best six.
David Walker says,
what's happening Lids?
Are there any celebs that if you met them
you'd struggle
keeping your shit together
footballers
any

I
at the channel 4 comedy awards

and in my head I'm like yeah they're in
our industry I expect to see them and we
were outside it's the end of the night and this
Luke Hamner guy funny Laura sent me them a few times i like it it's really well done but i get it it's
not the guy's not famous he's just doing well on like insta and tiktok and with enough beers in me
i just forgot that i was also a guest at the national comedy awards and I'd been nominated and went, hi, hi Luke, you don't know who I am
and you're great.
And he went,
he went,
right,
thank you.
I went,
right.
I just caught myself
and went,
oh,
what a fucking knobhead.
I did it with Charlotte Ritchie.
Yeah.
Who's Charlotte Ritchie?
She was Oregon in Fresh Meat.
She's in You now.
right,
right,
right,
right.
And I was like,
so I was looking for Bob Mortimer.
I just wanted the picture of Bob Mortimer. I didn't give a fuck if it seemed like a gimp and I was like, it was looking for Bob Mortimer I just wanted the picture
of Bob Mortimer
I didn't give a fuck
if it seemed like a gimp
but I was like
it's Bob fucking Mortimer
he's an absolute legend
yeah absolutely
I couldn't find him
and then I'd seen
Charlotte Ritchie loads
and I was with Finn
and he likes it as well
and I was like
I was trying to go over
and ask her
she can only say no
but then every time I'd go
she'd move
and I was like
I can't follow her
so I just left her
and then we were leaving
and she was stood outside
and I was like now's the time so me and Finn go up and she stood behind the door and out the door I'm like, I can't follow her. So I just left her and then we were leaving and she was stood outside and I was like,
now's the time.
So me and Finn go up
and she stood behind the door
and out the door,
I was like,
Charlotte,
can I get a picture?
And she went,
oh,
not right now.
I just went,
cool.
You should have said when.
When's good.
Yeah,
and as soon as she said that,
I was like,
she doesn't want to.
So I kind of lingered for a minute
and I was like,
oh,
fuck it.
Did you think that was out of order or did you? No, no, I totally got it. She was talking to her friends and she didn't want to so I kind of lingered for a minute and I was like oh fuck it did you think that was
out of order
or did you
no no no
I totally got it
she was talking to her friends
and she didn't know who I am
but I was like
oh
we took two L's that night
yeah
yeah
it's a tricky one isn't it
because
there's a load of comedians
and industry people
in her head
she's like
there's no fans in here
but still be sound
no yeah i got it and there's a girl come up after 10 seconds after me and she said the same thing to
her so she's obviously getting it a lot she's still a bit of friends kind of out the way and
i've kind of like but i kind of respected it a little bit more i think the time it takes to say
not right now and no but you might as well go yeah cool she didn't say
cunty did she no she was like oh no sorry not right now i was like okay cool thinking i'll get
another chance and i thought oh not right now means no yeah the only time i think you should
well not that everyone does one thing the only time i'd be like no would be if i'm out with my
kids that's it yeah yeah that's it adams is when he's eaten if you come and ask for a picture
of rather oh yeah he will tell you to fuck off yeah don't that's not that gets yeah i saw someone
recognized me in chester and went all right dan and then saw that i was with laura netter and went
all right cool yeah have a good one and just sort of yeah yeah sort of self-edited oh my god i made
myself cringe with that um Footballers is the one.
And it doesn't matter.
If you play in the EFL league pyramid,
doesn't matter where you are in it,
I'm going to faint.
In Liverpool...
Lee Trundle!
It was Lee Peltier.
Fucking hell.
He used to play Liverpool, Huddersfield,
a few other clubs.
I swear, I was talking about getting that jacket
in Zara
in Liverpool 1
when I was buying that
he was in the shop
and I was like
holy fuck
I have signed this guy
I'm football manager
did you get a selfie?
no
I had too much respect
for Lee Peltier
he would
nobody respects Lee Peltier
he would be so
nicely surprised
to be asked for a selfie
yeah
nah I was like
do you know what
he probably gets it all the time. What would you say if you met
like Ronaldinho? Huh? What would you say
if you met like, I would probably die if I met
Ronaldinho. The weird thing is, I put him on such
a like, I think when someone's that
hyper-hypocritical. He doesn't exist. Nah, they're like an alien.
Yeah, he's not real. Whereas Lee Peltier
knocking about him like, he's actually like
I could be his mate.
Imagine if Ronaldinho
just went, yeah, not right now. In Zara. No, I wouldn't take that. I'd be his mate imagine if Ronald Ronaldinho just went yeah
not right now
in Zara
no I wouldn't take that
I'd be like
no
get a picture with me
and I'd wait
okay I'll wait
until now is okay
yeah
yeah
or Zidane
if I met Zidane
I think I'd cry as well
or Van Persie
but Van Persie feels
more accessible
than them too
we're at the comedy awards
where the
if you want to call them the bigger stars,
were they just walking around
and talking to everyone?
Or was there a bit of a thing of,
not the new school,
but was there the TV acts?
No, they were all cool.
Was it like a big mix thing?
Yeah, it was a really nice mix of people.
People that bought tickets to watch the show
were in the tier above.
Everyone on the floor
was either industry
or comedians
or writers
or like,
and everyone was sound.
Agents are pretty savvy
because they've got
a professional sort of
duty to not be gimps.
I think the real risk
is the newer,
younger comedian
or the podcaster
that's never been to the awards.
Yeah.
Because we're like,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,

oh,
oh,
oh, didn't he? He was like, I love your stuff. Joe Lycett made a beeline for you. That was a nice moment. Yeah. Right at the end.
Yeah,
that was nice.
He got very flirty later on as well.
Said that he thought I'd suck a good cock.
I was like,
cool.
I think I would too.
I was like,
I spoke to Laura,
I was like,
I think Joe Lycett sort of
had a shoot of his shot.
She just said,
had a shoot of his shot.
Not right now.
A shoot of his shot.
I was like,
well,
I'm married,
but you know.
Fuck, we need to get Joe Lysette on again.
Shall we do some underrated, overrated?
Literally, you just have to discuss
whether you think it's underrated or overrated.
We need the jingle.
Someone sent me the jingle being made.
Should we just do it?
Underrated or overrated?
Bosh.
Let's not clip that.
If it's me peltier,
I'm going to say one of the most underrated right backs.
Stuart Wisby says,
sub lids,
can I get some underrated,
overrated on this?
Bacon.
Now we've sort of touched on bacon before.
I can't even start.
Where do you come down on this?
Bacon,
because it's very highly rated.
Underrated,
overrated.
What bacon are we talking?
I don't want to get too into it.
Bacon is the most overrated food on the fucking planet.
I'm going to go with you,
but when you get unbelievably nice bacon,
it's amazing.
Do you know what's better?
A better sausage.
An unbelievably nice sausage is better than better bacon.
Bacon, oh, I couldn't be a vegan
because I couldn't have a bacon bachi no more.
Fuck off. It's not that
good. What's the bacon where they get it very American
style and it's super thin and
very crisp? Streaky bacon.
Streaky bacon, yeah. I think
I like the least healthy bacon.
Yeah. Dirty.
Healthy bacon. Dirty bacon. I couldn't live
without bacon. It's come up
slightly, we've mentioned on it. New Year's
Eve, overrated for Stuart Wisby
it is definitely
overrated
the build up to it
takes up all the time
as opposed to the actual thing
yeah
it's done in 30 seconds
and see
I'm sorry if anyone's into it
see
Auld Lang Syne
I don't know whether
it's just a
maybe like
here you love it or something
I feel like there's
a big quiet tension
in the room here
no I don't know why.
All Lang Zang is the worst.
You lost it.
That's my fucking theme.
All Lang Zang is the worst.
See when people do that.
May all the quaint and deep forgot
and never brought to mind.
Do you know in Japan when the shops are closed?
Let's do a conga.
They play that song just to let you when the shops are closed Let's do a conga They play that conga as well
They play that song
just to let you know
the shops are closed
What would you replace it with?
Mate
Listen
I've gone so
so long in my life
without a conga
I would love a conga
It's been fucking years
since a party
wedding
or someone's birthday
someone went
should we just whip out
a fucking conga
You look like a conga guy
oh
the front of the conga
you don't look like
you need anyone else
for a conga
no I think we should be
doing it at like
Fabric in London
take a bump of ketamine
let's do a conga
I'd love to build up conga
and then oops
upside your head
be amazing
not an oops
upside your head
kind of guy
get off the floor
you fat fucking idiot
oh my god
what about a cha-cha slide
rock the boat
don't rock the boat

yeah
the Macarena
banger
Cupid Shuffle
banger
oh fucking
Wigfield Saturday night
right here
hasn't got a fucking
thing
a conga
let's make it happen
congas underrated
New Year's Eve
overrated
yeah
I don't think anyone
gives a shit about congas
but we've got some
big shows coming up
imagine dude
imagine
what's the world record
on a conga
book the arena
book the arena
we'll start the conga
there'll be two and a half
thousand people
waiting at the bar
we'll get them as well
and we'll fucking conga
oh wait
there's a dog
world record
I want to say this
I don't think the arena could organise a conga.
Yeah, yeah.
No emails will be sent.
Why does it just bring up...
I don't know.
Right.
Not happy about this.
Then why is it only bringing up
world records of dogs?
Only dog congas.
Human conga.
Didn't think you'd need to write that.
Peter conga.
Oh, no.
I don't think we're
breaking this 119 000 guys look i'm where was it in the pod this week miami and that was you never
know the live shows might get up that number we all good i don't mexican immigrants who is why am
i being so controversial today who's reffing this what because i feel like it's nice my ex
i feel like the conga
you broke the line
it would have been
a million people
but he was just
too card happy
fuck I'd love a conga
but you're right
New Year's Eve
is very overrated
massively
but I feel like
it'd be a good day
to get married on
just saying
what
good day to get
married New Year's Eve
that's a really selfish
invite that
why
because everyone's
most people are out on New Year's Eve.
Yeah, but you tell them in advance
and then then out is the wedding.
All right, fair enough.
I've been to a New Year's Eve wedding.
Yeah, I feel like...
Oh, a New Year's Eve wedding?
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
I thought you said New Year's Day wedding.
No, New Year's Eve.
Okay, cool.
I feel like that's the best day for the wedding.
Just taxi ranks on New Year's Eve
are a very special type of hell on earth.
Yeah.
I don't give a fuck how good the night is.
Paddy's Day.
That will ruin it.
Sushi, Shane. Underrated, overrated. Careful. I don't give a fuck how good the night is. Paddies, that will ruin it. That will ruin it as well.
Sushi, Shane.
Underrated, overrated?
Careful, I've got to go down.
I don't,
I've not had the best kind of sushi.
I've only really had it in like airports and stuff.
Right.
Where it's not even a sushi place,
there's just like a wee bit of it that does sushi.
Do you know what I mean?
No, because I've never had sushi.
Underrated.
People, I don't like raw fish.
Well, don't eat that one then. Yeah, I i love fish i just haven't been to the right place so i'm
gonna say probably underrated thank you well done cool weather spoon sushi not good yeah
the bacon was actually good today
shane came to liverpool was early because of the flight and went where in Liverpool City Centre
can I get breakfast
and went the spoons
the breakfast place
there's a place called The Vibe
I went that's perfect
but it's closed
closed
yeah because no one's awake
because everyone's
yeah
because you guys are so cool
probably opens at 2am for breakfast
I'd go there
oh my god
the Vibe the Vibe is 7am that's when The Vibe starts That one's at 2am for breakfast. I'd go there. Oh my God.
The vibe is 7am.
That's when the vibe starts.
You want to catch the vibe?
Early morning.
Being potted is the last one from Stuart Wisby.
What does that mean?
Wiz-O.
Jazz cabbage.
Smoking a little boogie candle.
The old boogie candle. Yeah.
No, I'm not. I think it's overrated. Smoking a little boogie candle? The old boogie candle. Yeah.
No, I'm not.
I think it's overrated.
You're not a fan.
I'm not a fan.
What was it that put you off it?
Did you get paranoid in that?
It doesn't taste very nice.
It hurts my throat,
and then it makes me feel weird.
I mean, how many more things do you have to know
that that drug is not for you
and anyone's like
oh Dan
you just need to
I've tried everything else
and liked most of it
it's just something about weed
does not do it
and then watching Carl
go puff puff out
there was a bit of a gap
between it like
there was
five minutes
yeah yeah yeah
I mean I didn't go
were you smoking crystal mate
I just don't
you know
never been a weed man
me it's a
it's a total novelty
for me like
right
so I like it
for that reason
it's underrated
I enjoy it
but I've never tried
anything else
right
yeah same
shrooms
I think it's
shrooms underrated
shrooms are underrated
yeah
there was a time
when I slightly
exceeded the dose
of night nurse
the recommended dose
fucking hell man
what time was that
well I woke up
at 9am
so
he went to bed
at 5pm
so that was
slightly early night
this is from Tom
he says
underrated
overrated
a curer
possibly the most
underrated drink
there is
according to Tom.
Hair of the dog.
Oh.
Oh, is that?
I genuinely,
I wasn't going to ask what Acura is.
Hair of the dog.
It's half and a bevy the next day
when you're hungover.
Ah.
Not for me, boys.
Is hair of the dog
what you drank the night before?
Or is it just all that?
Because I feel like,
I've never quite understood this.
Is hair of the dog like,
you got pissed on tequila last night, you need to start with tequila. It's not, is it just all out? Because I feel like I've never quite understood this. Is Hair of the Dog like, you got pissed on tequila last night,
you need to start with tequila?
It's not, is it?
It's just any alcohol.
It's to settle your stomach again, yeah.
And that's why Bloody Mary's the one.
Yeah, vodka and a bit of fucking tomato juice
and a bit of salad.
No.
It's never been for me.
If I'm hungover, I don't want to smell alcohol.
No.
Will?
Yeah! If I'm hungover, I don't want to smell alcohol. No. Will?
Will's had continuous hair of the dogs for 12 years.
The work poo, and then we'll go for a break because...
It's got a lot better here.
Runcorn wasn't fun.
No, the Runcorn was horrific.
So Tom says, going back to the hourly paid days, does the fact that you're getting paid to drop the kids off at the pool make it much more satisfying or is it a load of literal shite
if i was on the clock doing a fucking proper job and i had the discipline of bow to make myself
shit just about what quarter past two not in a break oh yeah totally go and take a 12 minute
I used to go and sit
in the toilet
when I was a bartender
yeah I worked in a call centre
yeah
you literally go
and see what happened
yeah
take a paper
yeah
and if someone came
and what are you doing
I'm having a poo go away
but you're just sitting there
on your phone
oh yeah I think absolutely
wonderful
I mean I don't do it here
I think it's rated though
because I think
I think the whole of the workforce.
Public poos,
I don't rate anyway.
Have you plopped here?
I've shit here a couple of times.
I try and avoid it.
Tell you who has.
Adam Rowe.
Yeah,
working with Adam
and public poo
and not going together.
Not good?
Oh,
no.
Oh,
lad.
There's a disabled toilet
and we all respect it
as a disabled toilet.
It's basically Adam's toilet
and it's disability
is that it's used by Adam
I know
by the way
I know how that sounded
it sounded like
I was like
that toilet must be disabled
I can't get it
I know the toilet isn't actually
probably is
no though
I'm going to have some shit
in it's mouth every day
PTSD
why
yeah do you know when people say
like oh don't go in that cubicle
it's like don't go in the toilet
right
because Adam's done a poo the last hour yeah er lolly Yeah, do you know when people say, oh, don't go in that cubicle? It's like, don't go in the toilet. Right, right.
Because Adam's done a poo the last hour.
Lolly!
Let's have a work poo.
Anyone?
Yeah?
Yeah.
Get some sushi.
I, listen to camera,
I want to apologise to the Asian communities
of Blackburn, Bradford and Birmingham.
I just mentioned that.
I insinuated that they might.
No, you just mentioned
they had an Asian community.
Yeah.
Which is great.
And you just said
there's nice curries in Birmingham.
Which is great.
I apologise.

Yeah.
It's a fucking disgrace.
I don't know if it's what GB News

Don't they like...
No, it's a big part of it.
Aren't they like anti-Europe,
anti-immigration?
It was on Halifax changing the pronouns
on their customer assistance badges.
Does he even work there anymore?
Not anymore!
Because he won't fuck around with the pronoun game.
Here, a surname for a pound.
What is it?
Don't look.
Brown.

The main reason I've come to England.
To get to,

Get myself some pride.
I remember years,
years ago,
I opened a Weatherspoons in Billingham.
It sounds like you just worked there. I opened it.
I opened up.
They just let me be duty manager for the day.
It was great.
Where are the spoons in where?
Billingham.
Billingham.
Near Middlesbrough.
Near Middlesbrough.
And it was,
I've talked about being on Panto before,
but it was when I did Panto with Jake Canuso.
He was one of the Spice Girls backing dancers
and in Benidorm.
He sounds like a mob boss.
He's Louis Spence's friend.
He's not a mob boss. He's Louis Spence's friend. He's not a mob boss.
We had to cut a ribbon.
No, we didn't hear that.
I do a decent Louis Spence,
but I'm not.
No, come on, do it.
It's Louis Spence, darling!
It is!
That was really good.
It's a decent Louis Spence.
Billing him. people went to see you
didn't they
I remember
seeing it on Facebook
yeah
people went on
to support you
you weren't buttons
were you
no I was
Chinese Aladdin
oh no
what
what year was this
2015
too recent
too recent
it was before racism
yeah yeah
so it's fine
can I ask
what did you have to
do when opening
the weather
like did they
you have to be there
for an hour
beforehand
you kind of
like
no we walked up
in our costumes
and then the scissors
wouldn't work
because I was
Chinese Aladdin
and I just
it was fine
it's okay
Aladdin will do it
was there any
not allowed things
within the
Billingham panto
oh no it was
all
it was too much
the guy who directed
it had a keyboard tie on
nice
he's dead now
yeah yeah yeah
Dougie Summer
yeah yeah
and uh
but yeah
he would be like so these two go into a bar and it'd be
like that's the jokes of it there was characters called ping and ponk oh you told us this yeah yeah
right it was it was it was the lacest there was a coach called ping and pong yeah yeah
one was a midget and they kept referring to him as a midget nice okay on the on the poster it said
midget from Phoenix Knights.
Small person.
Yeah, but they
didn't refer to him.
Did you get a few
quid for
opening the
Wetherspoons?
No.
Or was that just
part of the deal?
Shit.
I've said this
before on Pod
but you've got to
hear it.
Preston Playhouse
2013
our mate from
Youth Drama
was still doing
like stuff at the
press and play
I was like
amateur dramatics
and we went to see
the panto
now we'd all been
in the panto
like early 90s
mid 90s
this was
15
18 years later
and she was like
I still love it
I still do it
part time
and it was Aladdin
and the policemen
were
What Went Wong
and Who Done Pong
which is even rock it's almost like billing and
we're gone that's a bit on the nose let's just go with ping and pong yeah don't do the first
don't do a full sentence of racism um uh yeah best time of your life no i hated it and i got
in trouble because i hated it because i'd mark it down I had my own dressing room
and I was like
marking down the days
because you do two a day
and then the dame came in
this guy called Craig
who would nosh people off
in the break
like in between the two shows
that's part of the ticket price
that's part of the ticket price
yeah
I just wanted to
meet your guys
but we spell M-E-A-T
and then
and because Grindr and Billingham
I don't think that
so it's just like four men
that was like
oh there's a new gay
and then Craig would go out
and nosh him off
in the car park
how cheesy
if you're small town Grindr
and be like
well I know that cunt's
120 yards away
he's behind you
we're going gonna make great dads it was a dad i know you're a dad no i'm a dad oh yeah did you did you say to me we're gonna be great dads
guys keep going and you'll stop being shit and being a dad.
Hey, we're dog dads, don't we?
Dog dads, yeah.
Your child doesn't shit on the floor.
I didn't buy my child in a shop.
Well, that's when me and you did.
And she was going very cheap.
Went to a breeder.
No, well, I went to a breeder, but I think it's
like a grand compared to 18 years worth of pay.
Exactly.
We just paid up front.
You got it on the catalogue.
Yeah, that's true.
Little buds, Jack.
It's not the same though, is it?
Yeah.
I get up early and I have to clean shit up.
What else do you do?
Your dog's shitting the house.
He's only a puppy and he's learning.
Your dog's shitting the house when you first got it yeah but like five months in in dog years that's like a five-year-old shit in its own pants no it's not five times one it's five
months times seven that's not five years old try again what what three and a half yeah there you go
toddlers still shit the kegs, don't they? No. Slow ones.
Lads, usually, I'm not even joking.
A lot of lad toddlers are like,
why am, why, what are you doing?
Potty train?
Yeah, yeah.
Why just shit stud ear?
And then you change it.
Adam still does that.
Why don't I not go there and fucking stress myself out?
Why don't I poo my,
my nephew is nearly fucking four like we've got to
sort him out shit in his kegs yeah he's just i understand yeah why would you want to change yeah
you'd be like i just why don't i just poo here and stay on the ipad yeah but you can't be at uni
and then be like your mum drops you off and then you're still going right well someone's gonna have
to do it there's six of us no there is a turning point you're still a virgin yeah yeah there's
discrimination against my type girls are just a bit more switched on to it i think i think
girl toddlers are just a lot ahead of boy toddlers aren't they don't they like start getting things
earlier well i'm seeing a lot of differences now because i've got a six-year-old daughter
but i can't i think the being a parent you sort of block a lot of the mental stuff out i think there's honestly
a chemical in your head after you've become a parent that sort of releases to make you forget
how painful it is in the first two two and a half three years so you go you know what we should do
we should do this again you wake up optimistic every day and that's mental yeah yeah
you're like frodo and the boys every day you're like we're going to mordor here defo you go back
but by the time you so now like i know etta was like a baby and Lato as much as the next man but he's got Samuel Lato
and Zlatan Ibrahimovic
yeah
little Ibra
he does not take any shit
I've shit myself
oh by the way
if they're not rated underrated
I hate that cunt
Ibrahimovic
yeah
what a fucking
try hard gob shite he is
oh what
I
honestly
I hope someone's named
their son
after Zlatan
that would be so good
there must be
in the UK
someone's gone
Zlatan
we should have
named Jack Zlatan
he gives off such
Ibrahimovic energy
just doesn't give a shit
he's such a little
gremlin
and now we're
looking back going
Etta was
in my head
Etta was two years old
going father
what should we do today
but of course she wasn't
she was probably just a little gremlin as well but compared he just looks so fucking feral In my head, Etta was two years old going, Father, what should we do today? But of course she wasn't.
She was probably just a little gremlin as well.
But compared, he just looks so fucking feral.
And she's so nice with him.
He's like, stop!
Get off!
iPod!
Pepper!
He's just such a ball bag.
Proper Ibrahimovic energy.
I think that's like second child syndrome.
Symptom.
Syndrome. Second child syndrome syndrome symptom syndrome second child syndrome
yeah yeah yeah like i i got i felt do you know when you say a word are you like i don't think
we can say you can say syndrome now can't you yeah you can say syndrome you just can't say
the other word syndrome pass down syndrome people were talking about Lockdown syndrome With kids
You know like
You know the changes
The way they are socially
And that kind of thing
My dad was telling everyone
That my son had
Lockdown syndrome
For a long time
Isn't that when you're like
Aware but you can't
Verbalize
Yeah
So when people saw
Run the bad ass
They were like
This guy's improved
Very quickly
Was that lockdown syndrome They just hadn't seen The outside world And all like No no no get us improved. Very quickly.
Was that locked-in syndrome they just hadn't seen
the outside world and all?
No, no, no.
It's like a condition
where you're conscious
but you can't move
any part of your body.
Bruce Willis has got it now.
Who?
Bruce Willis.
No, he's got dementia.
No, I thought he's got locked-in.
No, he's got something else.
No, it's the thing Cammy's got.
He's got lockdown syndrome.
Oh, I thought he was getting locked-in.
He's still not right after
Hans Gruber
Hans Gruber
Hans Gruber syndrome
I don't know what
we were talking about
but anyway
what were we talking about
oh
we're going to be good parents
but also
second child syndrome
second child syndrome
but also
my sister when she was born
hated my brother
he's three years older
so much so that when
once he got out of the bath
my sister tried to bite his cock off.
He came down onto the bottom step
and he was like,
mum, I need a towel.
And my sister just crawled over
and she was just like,
and my mum just went,
whoa, she nearly bit his cock off.
I tell you what, Brennan,
whenever we book you,
whenever we book you.
Is that so mad?
No, whenever we book you,
there's always that thing
like brennan's done it a few times i wonder where we'll go with it you've never not turned up
with some absolute random by the way it used to be a circus family that was the act
the cockless boy howard would say they them the cock was them what the fuck
how old was
she
um 12
no she was
about two
three right
so she had
she must have
had teeth
because that's
that's it's
off removal
of a cock
with gums
that's just
a long old
sock
oh god
oh wow
wow anyway shout out howard from the halifax
your your little ones are the similar age to the dance aren't you so you must have similar um
experiences yeah i you've got two and a half year old two and a half and six months
oh no you're yeah you're still in the the blast zone we're about to do our first trip first
like on the plane holiday that's not that's not for me like long call or no no no it's a short
flight like but i mean i'll be in business but we took we took jack away when he was a year old
and it was one of the worst decisions i've ever made and when he was crying on the plane i felt myself like almost giving dirty looks to my wife you know when people are like yeah baby yeah yeah come on
sort it out like shit is mine yeah yeah you can't fucking give people shit i when it's your kid
he was just it's just too young do you never just want to talk to them though like so you join him
with everyone else he's're just like. Yeah.
Awful.
I'm not with these.
Yeah.
Like we were talking about Australia.
Like I'm about to do Australia.
No, you're not taking them to Australia.
Of course I'm not.
And people are like, oh, you're bringing the kids.
I'm like, absolutely not.
Although I did, Chris Kemp came on my podcast,
if you know Chris.
Love him.
And we were talking about doing Australia and he has, he had kids the same age.
And we were talking about that.
And he said, oh, I went to Australia. And he said, i brought the kids and i went i'm thinking like back me up here
chris i'm like yeah but mine are under three though and he went yeah mine were under three
at the time i was like chris shut the fuck up i'll be honest if i took my family to australia
with the kids there'd be a chance i came back without them there'd be yeah once you've done
that flight you'd be like i think you've emigrated now so stay here yeah I've done it on my own daddy's going back to Chester
leave yourself just release you into the outback I remember once go because you go to Dubai and
then you go Dubai to wherever in Australia and I had about seven kids around me of varying ages
between like three and maybe like 16.
And their parents had fucked off into the front bit.
And this kid for about six hours,
just kicking the chair.
And I went, stop.
And he went, no.
And just kicked the chair.
It's crazy that that wouldn't rationalize him.
Because you feel like you're telling on kids as well.
Like if you get the, do the dinger and get the-
Do the dinger.
I'm on an international flight!
That is so great.
I love it when you just remind us
that you're Northern.
I was going really far away
and I did the dinger
and I said,
that little bastard's
going to get his fucking job done.
I'd do something horrible too.
Like what?
Throw a tea on him or something.
Bites his cock.
Throw a tea on him?
Bites his cock.
Yeah, I'd be like,
oh, when he kicked me,
oh, you may be over the top yeah
oh no it's free booze on long haul flights can i get a gin and tonic nice for him
pass them around imagine their parents came back and they're just all
if you're going on a long haul flight and you're a rich animal and you're like i'll tell you what
i'll do because we're wealthy we'll buy child care basically on a long haul flight thing yeah you've got we'll go in first
they won't appreciate it and we'll just release them into the creche that is coach i think there
might have been a genius but it's fucking awful we were going from dubai right dubai dubai dubai
dubai i pressed the dinger australia right so i think their parents
might have been a bit livid if i start feeding them alcohol and bacon
oh yeah well i'm i filled my quota on that banter today
it's been pretty big
you got a big quarter
um yeah well i listen if you ever do panto again i'm there great and i'll take mushrooms He got a big quote on it. Yeah. Well, listen,
if you ever do Panto again,
I'm there.
Great.
And I'll take mushrooms.
I think you should do a,
have a word Panto.
We're going to do a nativity,
Scouse nativity.
Scouse nativity.
Live?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But this is,
that's scripted, isn't it?
That's the thing you need a script for.
And I suggest that that's not where
have a word really flourishes as a company.
I think we can go off script, though.
Right.
Like the donkeys, you know, like a BMW on lease.
And like the presents would be like 110s, like weed and, you know what I mean?
Scouse a fire up, lad.
I don't know what you've just said.
Exactly.
Speaking of live events, we just did Comedians Charity Boxing back home.
Right.
And we were thinking about
for the next one
next year
if we do it again
make it
do it in the arena
in Belfast
and have Belfast
versus the rest
so guys from here
guys from Scotland
Belfast
versus the rest
of the world

I think it sounds
great
yeah
and I wish you every luck
who do you want to fight
who do I want to fight who do I want to fight
Kieran
Kieran Bartlett
yeah
I'll take Kieran
who are you fighting
I'm getting nowhere
we'll have Dave Longley

Dave Longley
he sounds hard
I don't want to fight
Dave Longley
he's ginormous
I don't want to fight
anyone who's
going to beat me
his shoulders look like
that sign
like he's he's big unit he's a square man no no I want to fight anyone who's going to beat me. His shoulders look like that sign. Like he's big units.
He's a square, man.
No, no.
He's a square.
Who did you fight this time?
A guy called Johnny Bo.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Beat him.
Yep.
Congrats.
1-0.
What was it like being-
Someone still had to go, but neither of us had ever fought.
When you get punched for the first time,
you can't gauge how hard a punch is going to be until you meet him.
Neither of us had ever punched or been punched. Ever? Not really. for the first time you can't gauge how hard a punch is going to be until you meet them neither
of us had ever punched or been punched ever not really well like playing football like silly scrap
or something nothing major um and then when we were boxing the first session we went to was with
junior amateurs like hyped 18 year olds who like do this all the time and i was in the middle of
the guys like right let's go ahead and square off with this guy,
like in a proper ring.
And I was just about to ask the guy like,
how serious are we taking this?
He'd hit me twice by the time I got that sentence ready.
I was like, right, well, we're obviously taking this serious.
It was so good.
And actually getting hit wasn't that bad at all.
Because once you've been hit once,
you went, right, well, this is a bit of fun.
Like it was such a novel experience.
I was like, never going to do this again
and the adrenaline
and stuff
you don't really feel
I always felt it
like the next day
but it was class
it was so good
so the amateurs
you sparred with them
just as part of the training
they were taking it easy
we were going full
but they're just
lightning fast
so fast
yeah
and like kids
so they're like
dancing about
the boxing scene
is unbelievable as well
isn't it
yeah
it's great to be part of it I got a track suit Belfast. Yeah. And like kids. So they're like dancing about. The Belfast boxing scene is unbelievable as well, isn't it? Yeah.
It's great to be part of it.
I got a track suit made for the fight.
And I had like, my nickname is Sugar Shane, right?
So it's like Sugar Shane Todd.
It's got Tea With Me podcast on the arm.
It's got sponsors and stuff.
And so I'm like, that's a nice track suit.
I was like, I can only wear this today.
I can never wear this again in my life
because I'm a dickhead
if I wear this tomorrow
to the shops.
Yeah,
but you trained,
didn't you?
Oh,
like no one's ever trained before.
Really went for it.
Yeah,
because I never was saying that
like it was embarrassing.
Like,
oh,
you're really taking this seriously.
I was like,
yes,
I don't want to get beat up.
Like,
so I'm going to put everything
I can into this.
And Johnny Bowe's not,
he's a big guy.
Yep.
Yeah. Yeah. David Vigalias. What? David Vigalias, aowe's not, he's a big guy. Yep. Yeah.
Yeah.
David Vigalath.
What?
David Vigalath,
a lot of people were saying.
Oh,
yeah,
yeah.
I heard that,
yeah.
What?
Did you knock him out?
No.
Did you knock him down?
No,
no,
there was no knockouts.
The standard was unreal.
Like,
it was really good.
Like,
the fights actually looked good.
We live streamed it.
I'm watching it back.
You're like,
everyone looks like they actually can box,
but,
um, I knocked his tooth out, but it was a screw in. So I don't it back you're like everyone looks like they're actually calm box but I knocked his tooth out
but
it was just screwing
so I don't know
if you're giving me that
you know
just reloads a little tiny
so it unscrews
yeah
so technical
you're so precise
I'm that fast
I took his gum shield out
yeah
unscrewed
threw it down
he's going for the molars
yeah
he's got a bayonet tooth
you wouldn't do it would you
I wouldn't do it
Adam has done it
Adam's already done it
hasn't he
yeah
I don't know if Adam
would do it again
with his shoulder
but I think he'd be tempted
I think he'd be tempted with
just because he gets competitive
I'd do it
I'd love it
I think you'd be great
I reckon I'd be
I reckon I'd get thin again
and then I can like start
I'd love to scrap
you can't go wrong
if you're winning to grow a feeling
if you lose well you're a comedian you're winning to grow a feeling if you lose
well you're a comedian
you're not supposed to win
boxing like it matters
you know what I mean
it's like
but I'd bite an ear off
like Tyson
right
I'd go
I'd be pulling air and shit
would you fuck
I'd be well
you'd float around
would you bite a cock off
I press the ding ding
it started
give me that sign
and now Brennan Rees
is fighting
a child from the
United Arab Emirates
it's payback
for Australia
who would you want to fight
comedian wise
well it's got to be
Northern Irish
oh Northern Irish
yeah yeah yeah
can it be
okay
how many Northern
I'm trying to think of
he's going to set it up
who would you fight
on the UK circuit
on the UK circuit or On the UK circuit?
Oh, there is some comics that I actually don't like.
Who?
Who would I love to punch?
I mean, I know we can't...
I don't know.
If anyone else just went,
now I'm very interested.
Yeah.
Brendan's about to make this a salty episode.
But you have to fight Amanda, don't you?
Amanda?
Amanda.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah?
Amanda Holden.
Oh, I'm not doing it then.
Who would I love?
I think Adam would be a good fight.
I love Adam, by the way.
It's good to do it against a mate.
So me and Johnny are mates.
That's fun.
Yeah.
You know, I think it can be a real animosity.
It has to be like jokey.
Because there was bad blood.
There was real bad blood between some of the people fighting.
And that looked not fun to me.
Because in the lead up to it. They were like so intense.
That's what happens when two people roast each other
who don't like each other.
And you know, when you just go in,
you've just called her a cunt.
Right.
With no punchline.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think she's a cunt.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think with the roasting thing,
you need to sort of,
you need to feel like the affection of like,
oh, it's piss take banter.
Otherwise it just does seem like high end bullying really, doesn't it yeah yeah whereas we take the piss out of each other
it's different as soon as you know there's animosity yeah if if someone else came in and
said something about you but who the fuck are you yeah i would hate to fight adam i'd hate to fight
you i just i think it'd be awful do you know i'd like to fight they'd love it bear in mind you've
a hair guard on you You have massive gloves.
The chance of you hurting the other person are pretty slim.
But I do understand what you mean.
I'd only do body work.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Can't wear fucking pads on your bellend.
Actually, can you get a cup on you?
Is your bellend tucked up in the bell?
Just popping out, little gum shield and head finger.
I'd love to fight Freddy.
Because it'd be like fighting,
do you remember Butterbean, the wrestler?
Oh, why?
But he was good.
Yeah, I know, but I could just run around.
Yeah, you pass out.
You can't even breathe in his sleep.
So he's not going to be able to breathe in his room.
Well, that's why I said Kieran.
Because I was like, I'll try, like, I'll go for speed.
But if Kieran hit me, I'm going night-night.
Kieran can kick the same head as his head. I'm out. What'm going night-night. Kieran can kick the same height as his head.
I'm out.
What?
I didn't realise that.
He can kick the same height as...
He told me he used to do judo.
It's Kieran Bartlett.
Kieran Bartlett's a big lad.
Yeah, he's a big guy, right?
And he said the same himself.
And he said I can kick really high.
And I went, well, how high?
And he said I could kick level with my own head.
And I was like, you can't.
We had to stop the podcast
go into the car park
you know when
Brent and Chris Finch
threw the kettle
over the pub
it was like that
all of a sudden
man does a quick stretch
and then boom
kick my hand
level
best thing I've ever seen
in my life
I'm out
I used to be able
to get my leg behind me
when I used to
try and suck myself off
in my teenage years.
Have you ever had a cool one?
Oskar B.
He gave it himself.
Can you try?
I've got to try.
In jeans as well.
No.
What a great way to pull a hammy.
Get your pants off.
I reckon you can do this, you know.
Oh, shit.
Oh, for the audio listeners.
Oh, my God.
Be serious. Do you want me to help you with that hurt?
Oh my God.
There's your thumbnail.
Oh, there's a man who's dying to get pegged.
You've not done bad there, though.
Not bad there.
Bit of loosening up.
Bit of belly.
Yeah.
But why do you know how to do that?
Because I used to try and suck myself off quite often.
How often?
Like, using...
Every day?
Every day, yeah.
What was the closest you got?
I got in.
I had to go.
Did you just get your mug to the end of it?
No, I wasn't getting to the shaft.
But I got over the bell end.
It's weird when you've got your own bell end in your own mouth.
Is it?
Weird.
Because I've got quite a prominent... Family history. You bit your own dick off. My it? Yes. Weird. Cause I've got quite a prominent.
Family history.
You bit your own dick off.
My sister has given me tips.
She's like, this is how you get a cock in your mouth.
Get your teeth out.
The whole United Squad one.
No, what I used to do.
Cause I'd finished school.
Like my school finished at half two every day.
So I was able to go home before my mum and dad
got back from work.
So I'd really put a shift in.
And then me and my brother
used to have bunk beds.
Skyrocketing flight.
So I'd get on his bed
because he had a double one.
Do you know those 90s ones
that did that?
Oh yeah.
So I'd be on the single one.
But I'd get down on the,
and then I'd get on the bed.
My technique.
And then push off.
Oh, legs in the air, the audio listeners. And then just try and get the the air audio listeners oh no and then one day
yeah tilt the mic
and then you do the tongue fine then you get your lips on this is the thumbnail by the way
and then there was one day and i don't know whether I just had some Sunny D
or some extra energy,
and I managed to get the tip in.
And I mean, I don't know why,
I'm quite a nice boy,
but whenever I get around you guys,
yeah, I come in my own mouth.
And it was horrific.
So you got it in and then socked properly?
Yeah, I got it.
Brennan! You'd already done enough you'd done
enough you told us that the dick was in the mouth you you went above and beyond it was you should
have held something back it wasn't weird till you came it wasn't weird it wasn't weird till you came
like that your own dick in your mouth weird but to but to cum in your mouth, like that's...
Yeah, but if you're gonna go to, I don't know, let's say, if you're gonna go to America, you're gonna have a look at the Statue of Liberty.
So if you're there, you might as well.
When in Rome, yeah.
When in Rome, do as the Romanians do.
I've always, don't be mistaken, why did you want to suck yourself off?
Well, no one else was doing it.
Yeah, they didn't want to be hacked.
Yeah, but I don't want a dick in my mouth,
let alone mine.
Did it taste different?
Oh, oh, oh.
What?
I don't want a dick in my mouth.
Is your dick lower on the list
than other men's dicks?
Yeah.
Okay.
Is that more gay?
Yeah.
To suck your own dick?
I think so.
It's like if you shoved it up your own ass.
I mean, it's double gay
because you're being sucked off
while sucking someone off. Double gay. It's like you've been shoved up your own arse. I mean, it's double gay because you're being sucked off while sucking someone off.
Double gay.
It's the circle of gay life.
It never ends.
Hey, do you know if you'd have swallowed your day,
where would it have come off?
I would have been like, cat dog.
Do you ever have a cartoon?
Come up your arse,
and then you'd be bumming yourself.
I'm getting bummed.
Quad gay.
I didn't swallow though. I didn't.
I didn't.
It just sounds like a toilet.
Oh, hey, hey, you're cool now. Yeah.
It wasn't the taste, it was the texture. Oh!
Like an oyster.
Like a big salty oyster.
It was like something that's not in your mouth, yeah.
Ah!
Oh, dirty guess.
Thanks for coming, Shane.
No, thank you.
That's what I said to her.
Thanks for coming, me.
How long did it take for you to it took a while
I can't suck a dick I'll tell you that for free
was it spontaneous
or you knew that was the end goal
well I only ever got the tip in once
so it wasn't as if
I kept going back
jizzing in the mouth.
Was it the, you were like, this is the end goal
or was it, oh shit, I'm going to come.
Yeah, he's not, he's never had a good pullout game.
Yeah, I've never really, oh no, mine's good.
I don't want kids.
Yeah.
But I.
It must be good.
You're 47.
You've got no kids.
My throat's pregnant though.
Your blowjob record is the same as my boxing record
1-0
1-0
Yeah but mine had a knockout
TKO
Total cock out
Oh god
I don't like being hit
You do it to yourself
Yeah
That's what Freddie
Freddie always does this.
Oh, you make me say the worst things.
Do you know what I think?
I've always had this when I was growing up.
And if someone's like,
when I had mates around me,
they go, do that.
Like, I remember some of my mates
twatting me with a Kendo stick.
And I was being like,
but they're all laughing, aren't they?
And then being run over by one of my mates
because it was funny
or smashing a car because it was funny.
I think once you talk about
sucking yourself off to completion,
nothing else you mention
is going to jump out his way at night.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's all.
You got ran over.
Yeah.
On purpose.
It was half and half.
So I was at a barbecue
when I was at uni
and we were all pissed.
That's a lot.
I was at a barbecue, so so like never had those green little
beers right to my two percent oh yes and um and then we got into the idea of like car surfing
so i got on my friend's yellow beetle and then i'm driving down the street he's driving and i'm
on the top and then he put his brakes on and i slid onto the bonnet and i thought oh shit i'm
i need to get off but instead of getting off at the side while he was still driving,
I got off in front and ran and then he got me immediately. And then I woke up in hospital.
Okay. It's more confusing than the jizz in your own mouth story. You were surfing on
your mate's car. There was a little bit of a break. You lost your balance. You slid down.
Yeah, yeah.
And you thought, I'll outrun this.
I just thought, I need to get off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hang on, you sucked yourself off
when I was wearing your own car.
Not my car.
I'm not from E17.
Do you remember that, Cali?
No, but you were in the car.
No, I was on the car.
Yeah, still your car though, isn't it?
No, well, I was part of the journey,
but yeah, it wasn't my car.
Yeah.
Mad. Cal, what was your reasoning there? but yeah it wasn't my car yeah mad Karl what was your
reasoning there
once you're surfing
on a car
that's your car
no but I mean
like it's all him
isn't it
you need to start
your own one man band

you'd be fucking
great at that
you don't have

Brennan's been taking his dog swimming
and I need to take Wallace swimming.
Yeah, me and my ex take the dog swimming.
What?
What?
What?
Weirder than the self sucking off.
You've got shared custody.
Yeah, we've been doing it now for a while.
You meet up with a woman who doesn't like you
for a dog swimming lesson.
A woman who doesn't love me.
Let's get it right.
I still like you, I just don't love you anymore.
How bad would that be?
I know you've got to go and meet your ex if you've got kids together.
You're like, oh God, here we go.
Woof, you're no fucking help.
And then you've got to go swimming lesson.
Meeting her at Birch Services, there's the dog.
I'm not trying to do a joke,
but don't they just do
doggy paddle?
Like, what are you trying
to teach them?
Butterfly?
What's...
Like, it's just...
It's just a dog in the water,
isn't it?
Yeah, but they don't get
to be in the water, do they?
So it's nice to take them.
Pond.
Yeah.
Pond.
Would you throw your kid
to take them down a pond?
Would you throw Etta
in the pond?
No, because she's not
a fucking dog.
Oh, you ate dogs.
I don't eat dogs, but if I had one, it's going in a pond.
Wallace, stay there.
Don't listen.
Wallace, don't jump in the pond.
Sorry, Wallace.
We shouted.
But there was a teacher.
Yeah.
And honest to God, right, so scruff in the water.
And then a guy, like, she don't know what to do.
She's freaking out.
You see a bear in the water?
Expert. Sorry. Ex-scruff. and then the guy like she doesn't know what to do she's freaking out you see her bathing in the water expert sorry
ex-scruff
so
he gets her
she's like
I'm freaking out
and then he just
starts going like this
dog looks
and then she starts
doing it
amazing
it was worth 20 quid
it's natural for them
how much
20 quid for 15 minutes
20 quid an hour
no
oh sorry
80 quid an hour cool that's why, sorry. 80 quid an hour. 80 quid an hour.
Cool.
That's why I've had kids.
Cheaper.
No, a kid costs the same place as a Peugeot.
I was...
What?
A kid costs the same place as a Peugeot.
It does cost the same place.
And if the dog's under three,
you get 30 hours free swimming, so...
Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
30 hours?
Great.
No.
Can I tell you what I did
in the Cotswolds Dan
so you can hate me
yeah
what is
is the Cotswolds like
the country
like the countryside
yeah
it's southern
countryside
right
I went there for our birthdays
on the weekend
we could rent the cottage
and with our friends and stuff
it was lovely
on the last night
Seneca brought
aww
Wallace was there.
Look at him.
Are you twoing up?
What? Are you twoing up?
What? Twoing up?
Tearing up. Oh, tearing up.
Are you twoing up?
So what we did, Dan, we all got a canvas.
You listening?
I'm distracted.
Can you put the dog down?
I don't want to.
He's cute, isn't he? He's beautiful.
We all got a canvas, Dan.
With some art, some paints and stuff.
And on the back of the canvas was a word.
And you got a canvas for 10 minutes.
And then you passed it to the next person and they added to it.
But every 10 minutes you'd have a shot as well.
So we've done like a...
You did artistic Chinese whispers?
Mm.
For an hour with six,
it was more than six,
you had loads.
Did you paint a cock and balls?
No, the words were masculine, feminine,
sexy, groovy, calm and space.
You've changed.
Yeah.
It was cooler. What was your word? My first word was space, so calm and space. You've changed. Yeah. It's cooler.
What was your word?
My first word was space.
So I started space.
And then when it came back to me,
it finished.
So I took it on.
So it's not like a sentence,
a done form of sentence,
just like a word you're feeling.
It's what you think the word means.
Oh, my God.
I did life drawing once.
Oh, no, hang on, Brennan.
I knew he made it.
What? It was great though. I feel like, because Ro's not here, I've got to go, I did life drawing once on a no hang on Brennan I knew he made it what
it was great though
it was really wholesome
because Ro's not here
I've got to go
what the fuck are you talking about
it was really wholesome
you get a canvas
yeah
and the word is space
on the back of mine
was space
so I started space
I did a deep blue background
do some circles
and then passed it on
and then
the next one came to you
and you've just got to guess
what it is
you've not no you know the word you look and go okay and then you paint what you then the next one came to you and you've just got to guess what it is
you've not
no you know the word

Carl.
Right.
Carl Right Carl
Okay so
My partner's family
From Cork
So I'm Carol
Oh right yeah
Sounds like they call me Carol
See
The
Scouse people saying dick
Reminds me of
I went on a school trip
Um
Whenever I was maybe
Twelve
And our bus driver
Was Scouse
But we did not know that
After starting the trip
So it was just a random bus driver.
I was a double-decker bus.
I went to an all-boys school.
So the bus was going from Northern Ireland on the ferry
over to England for a school trip.
It was going to be like a 15-hour drive.
And yeah, it was just a random bus driver from the bus company.
And when we got on, it was a chemistry teacher,
but like a young guy who did not have the respect of the students. And made the mistake of going guys sit upstairs at the top deck if you want you
sit down with me sounds like well obviously we're going to the top deck and we're driving through
england after getting off the ferry on this bus and it was like 9 p.m at night and what started
that morning like 7 a.m so everybody's like half asleep. And, you know, we've been drinking cans of Coke,
eating sweets.
Everyone's knackered at this point.
And we're driving through,
I'm pretty sure it was Warrington.
Just like a random town.
Warrington?
Warrington.
And we're going through there.
And when we stopped on like the main sort of high street,
there was little nightclubs
and there's people going out at like half nine, 10, were stopped there on this one-way high street or whatever it
was and the driver sticks the pao for the first time like he never spoke to us whole time and he
and he just like everyone's like half asleep and from the bottom deck all he heard was all right
lads look out the left side of the the bus lads what do you think of that and everyone's like what
is it and we looked out and there was a load of girls in miniskirts in a queue to get into a nightclub
and he goes you love that lads this guy's about 50 and everyone's like we're like fucking right
with you everyone's like yeah and like banging the thing he's like go on lads have a look at that and
everyone's like yeah and then and he was loving it and everyone's popping off and we're on the
top deck of this bus and he stopped at a red light and he's like got the boys on side and then all of a sudden someone from a couple rows behind me
gets caught up and goes suck my dick man and they just like blurted it out just like getting all
excited now because there were girls in miniskirts and we're doing all boys feel and the guy went to
move off at the light stopped the handbrake went I remember the handbrake went on and the bus like went up in the air
and this guy
runs up the stairs.
Big, bald, middle-aged,
Scottish bus driver
and he said the word dick.
He came up the stairs and went,
suck my dick.
Suck my dick.
And see the more,
and everyone's like,
everyone's shit themselves
and just looking straight forward. But the more he said it, the higher pitch he got and everyone's like everyone's shit themselves and just looking straight forward
but the more he said it
the higher pitch he got
and he's making eye contact
with everyone
I've never really heard
that accent before
and he was literally like
shuck my dick
and he's like
making eye contact
with everyone
and everyone just
shit themselves
and he left
to the side
shuck my dick
he went
that's what I thought lads
he goes
who wants to say it
to me fucking face and everyone He said, suck my dick. He went, that's what I thought, lads. He goes, who wants to say it to me, fucking face?
And everyone, no, nobody, nobody.
Suck my dick.
He walks back down the steps, leaves in about a minute.
Like, cars stop behind us in this one-way street.
He starts the bus again, gets his moving.
And the same guy went, suck my dick.
And I think when we got off
at the service station
like the next morning
he just had this
one vein
going the whole way
down the story
but joke was on us
because at the next
service station
we had to
suck his dick
yeah
how pervy is that
you like that lads
yeah
I wasn't even meant
to come to Waddington
but I knew
these would be queuing
have a good look
oh my god
I used to have a driving instructor like that
and he'd pick me up
who said suck my dick
he'd pick me up from college
and he'd always take me past
a secondary school as it was pulling out
and he'd go slow it down
slow it down slow it down
and you're like
I mean
in terms of road safety
it's a good shout
Brennan you have a game
for us
can you
well
who knows this could work
because I usually
whenever I come
because I when i've been
on in the past i've dressed as you yeah i dressed as adam you've dressed as me dressed as you
and then patrons message me and they go who you're gonna do next do we shan and you're like no
they're always like do we should do cane you're like no So I thought we'll move that to one side.
So I've made a game.
Oh my God.
Is it Finn?
It's what?
You're not dressed as Finn.
Eh.
That'd be quite racist.
No, I did.
I brought a sheep.
Oh yeah, cool.
Do you remember that?
What's it called?
It's called truth or hair.
Oh God.
This could be rotten. But do you remember when we did the first ever live show?
Yeah.
Wax my ass.
I love the boring stuff for this.
Makes me so happy.
Oh, he's got...
Oh my God.
He's done the work.
So there's some waxing strips.
Oh, wow.
And then there's options of a question or a body part to wax.
I think I might be a millionaire with this idea, you know.
If all these patrons start buying true hair at Christmas.
Truth or Nair.
Truth or Nair.
That's good.
But copyright issues I had on the way here when I was coming up with a game.
Just did a nervous Trump.
Go on.
So what we're going to do,
I guess we'll go around
and you either get to...
I don't know what's the...
You don't look hairy, Shane.
What do you reckon is best?
Do we go...
You do look smooth.
I've got to say
there's much body hair
as the next young girl.
How do you like that?
I do have a bit.
All right. I mean, some of the places are normal
some of them get intimate
you don't get to pick the place
you don't get to pick the place
you get to pick the card
alright ready
play on
what do we think
do we know the question first or no
I think that's maybe the best way
to pick a card with a question
Jesus Christ where's the the best way to pick a card with a question. Okay. Jesus Christ.
Okay.
And then who's going first?
I'll go first.
Where's the body parts likely to be?
I mean, it's not eyebrows.
It's not head.
Of course.
No beard.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Who do you want to go first?
You're the games master.
I mean, I think I want to find out how hairy Shane is.
Shane has got,
and I've seen it,
a normal amount...
So do you want me to pick a card?
Of hair.
Or do you want to pick a card?
Let me just make sure.
You pick.
You pick.
I've even written T on the back
for truth
and H on the back
for hair.
It's all very good.
Why would I say you could do this?
Why did you think it was...
What did you think I was going to bring in? Like Ludo something that isn't right go on bollocks right okay i'll pick
one oh the effort that brendan makes is just so exceptional and this isn't a car i don't know if
you saw we did a our very first live show right we really hadn't thought like how do you like
close this out properly and brendan was like'm going to wax my own arsehole and
my god
that picture
of that waxing strip
coming off
as confetti cannons
went off
no they did it
alright because I was going to say
there's a theme here
and then the next year
I got a tattoo
on my bottom
during the pod
yeah I let these decide on
and it
it was about to be
something horrific
then we got the boy band Five to sing with us.
So we've kind of evolved.
Peaked.
I'd say peaked.
No, not yet.
Oh, you got an idea for...
Oh, no.
Okay.
You're going to wax the boy band Five.
I forget I've got R.I.P.
Runty on my bottom so often.
I just look like a ham that's been...
Shot a dead pig's tattoo on his arse that he killed
when he worked on a farm as a child.
What?
Killed it with a spade
and buried it into
a big pile of shite
and drowned it
yeah it was an assisted suicide
if anything
right
RIP Ronty
this is quite a basic one
so I've picked
the questions aren't too bad
so who's the question for
Shane
this is for Shane
let's go
so it's just basic simple one
how many people
have you slept with
so you can either answer that
and we'll talk about that
I said I'd go first.
That's a fucking easy one.
It's whether you want your wife
to know the actual...
Hair.
Oh!
There we go.
Okay.
I feel his game is already popping up.
Okay.
Well done, Shane.
Shane knows how to podcast.
So...
It's one.
It's one.
And it's not my wife. wife Okay we'll go for this one
Pretty basic start off with
It's just a leg

And then that's the last two rounds?
I guess yeah
Yeah
Right
It's time to tell some truths
Is it?
Yeah
Oh Finn's truths are weird though
Time to tell some truths
Oh it'll be literally
like he got abducted
when he was seven
right
yeah but it happened
all the time in real
there's wax left on it
right so
okay
so
suck

do you reckon
Waddingtons would buy
this game off me
yeah
oh shit
yeah

Come on.
He's a headliner.
He knows how to close out a gig.
All right.
What is your biggest kink?
Oh.
Let's be honest.
Getting waxed, you can't win.
Okay.
Oh.
Oh.
Do I say it?
Yeah
Yeah
Come on
Come on Finn
Do I say it
Or do I do the hat?
No no
You say it
You say it

Do I say it
I quite
Oh
Come on
No because I know
Some of my family
Have started listening recently
Tell them to not watch
They'll know what to do
Yeah They've got kinks.
Hang on.
If you're Finn's friends
or family,
you don't want to watch this,
turn off now.
Yeah, for the next bit.
But if you're Finn's friends
or family that do want to,
that's why I'll turn on now.
I quite...
It's not even that bad.
It's not too weird,
I don't think.
I quite like some spit
in my mouth.
No?
Oh, no. But not from someone in my mouth. No? No.
But not from someone you're having sex with?
No.
Just remember that, patrons.
If you see Finn in Morrisons,
he's thinking like,
oh, God, how many?
That's not a mad one.
No.
Bit of spit.
That's not a mad one.
It went way too quiet.
How did you discover that that was your thing?
On a one night stand.
Someone just went...
Someone just spat in my mouth.
They don't hock it all, unless they're from Aberdeen,
and then that's why you don't want to see them again.
Brennan, can we turn one on you?
Of course you can.
Can you pass the cards over here then, please?
Pick it. He picked mine.
I'm picking it.
Hang on, hang on.
Come on, come on, come on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So.
There's so much wax.
Shane, pick out.
I think Brennan just want this as an elaborate way
for Brennan to get waxed.
It's gonna be full body.
Okay.
The truth is.
You want me to ask?
Yeah.
Brennan.
Yeah.
What's the most disgusting thing you've ever done?
I wonder.
I've already told you.
I guess it said, I guess I'll do hair.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Oh, eyebrow.
It's the eyebrows.
Oh, eyebrows. I've got two good eyebrows.
And I've got Shane here to prove it.
Oh, my God.
Oh, it's not eyebrow.
It's goot.
Oh, my God.
This was worth the 6 a.mam flight and going easy, Jen.
Oh my God.
Do it behind the couch.
Oh my God. Pull the couch out.
No.
Jesus Christ.
Don't get in shot.
Brennan, you're going to have to go all fours.
Oh yeah, do whatever you want. We'll play at it.
Like, I think this would be more embarrassing if he do whatever you want, we'll play at it. There we go.
Like, I think this would be more embarrassing if he didn't love it.
He loves it, like he loves it.
I feel so alive.
This is what Brennan wanted.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh, what has this become?
Really pat it on, like make sure you get it on there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Aww, my bro.
Aww.
Oh, okay.
Dan's placing it with his right hand.
Oh, he's slapped.
He's bent over the couch.
Dan's really, really applying it.
I'm just getting it.
Oh, okay.
Giving his ass a big slap.
Dan seems to have gone more for the anus
than the gooch I would say.
I'm not fully reaching round.
Right, okay.
Welcome to the end of half a word.
Hold on Dan, should you get another one in
till you get the gooch through?
Get the other one in till you get the gooch through.
I can feel warmth coming off it.
Three.
Three, two, one.
Oh!
Oh, that's so hairy!
Oh my sweet Jesus.
What the fuck?
Oh my Lord.
Oh my God.
What a great game Brennan
