hello
oh literally
as you press it
it went to 11.12
I fucking
it's gonna be a
shite episode
Carl wanted us to go
on 11.11
because that's the
number where women
are like hey my god
11.11 make a wish
and you make a wish
I just saw it
and thought you know
it'd be nice to
press the button
and as you pressed it
it went to 11.12
so we all know
what happens now
not good thing
so 11-11
we all get a wish
yeah
no we can't now
if you wish now
11-12
you're fucked
yeah
someone gets a wish
against you
right
I'm big into these things
you know
you're not superstitious
at all are you
walking over grids
wow
do you do all three
oh why I'm a grid maverick mate what for I'm Walking over grids. Wow. Do you do all three? Oh.
Why?
I'm a grid maverick, mate.
What for?
I'm on the grids.
What do you do?
I am the grid.
I'm the Matrix, mate.
I'm Neo.
He just doesn't care, does he?
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't affect your day.
You just move out the way of the last one.
You know what?
I don't know.
Just in case.
Why tempt the gods?
Just in case the grids do what?
The gods could smite you down.
You know, what have you heard? When have you heard of someone stepping on three grids... The gods do what? The gods could smite you down? Yeah, but what have you heard?
When have you heard of someone
stepping on three grids
and then they get shot by...
No wonder you're going to step on a third grid
and it's going to give in
and you're going to fall
to the fucking depths of hell.
And we're going to be stood there
going, told you.
Are we teabagging you?
Yeah, I think.
And I'm suing someone.
Yeah.
If that third grid
leads to the depths of hell,
we're getting a fucking payout.
Who got the planning permission for that?
I
Whoa!
Well that's a reveal.
The devs need planning permission.
You'd expect better at L1.
I think because
it's the
the odds isn't it?
The odds are increasingly
falling through a grid
the more you walk over.
What?
I think that's what
the superstition comes from.
So there's some weird
Bet365 grid god
watching like
we've got to get the odds.
Ray Winston.
Would you walk over a thousand gr. Ray Winston. Would you walk over
a thousand grids?
Yeah.
Would you?
What in grids?
It's got nothing to do
with that for me.
If you could walk
next to it instead,
would you walk over
the thousand?
No, but I don't walk
over one grid either.
I walk over two.
Yeah, me too.
I'm the same.
Hang on.
This isn't superstition.
You just don't trust grids.
You've taken a superstition
and gone,
Matt, grids.
It's meant to be superstition.
You're going,
I don't trust fucking grids.
I don't trust grid makers.
The internet's not working.
You're a joke.
Oh, fucking hell.
He's off the grid.
Hey.
I let on to magpies, you know.
I don't...
What did you do to magpies?
I let on.
Let on?
You haven't heard that phrase?
I'm letting on.
I'm here, mate,
and I'm fucking watching you.
Are we nearly three years into...
No, to let on.
To let on.
I was like,
are we letting on?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have you genuinely never heard that before?
I sort of have,
but to let on is like
to let on that you're there.
I suppose it's the same thing.
Let on is to say hello, essentially.
All right.
If somebody's like,
you're like,
Magpie, you're there.
What if the Magpie ignores you
because he's a cunty Magpie?
The Magpie's always ignoring me.
That's not the point.
Do you do the certain amount?
If there's too many, you don't do it.
So if there's one magpie I let on,
if there's two,
I say two for joy out loud.
If it's any of the other numbers,
I count and see which,
what the thing is.
What?
So if there's 27 magpies,
you go...
No, but it doesn't go that high, does it?
And who's ever seen 27 magpies?
And who counts them?
Yeah.
You go to your missus stop throwing
trill in the garden trill what the hell one for sorrow two for joy three for a girl four for a
boy five for silver six for gold seven for the secret never to be told what's what's a boy what
what do you mean a boy i don't know he doesn't know it's just shit he heard from old people
and now he's doing it
so far as a boy yeah like maybe you're gonna have a boy maybe you're gonna meet a boy who's like

you've got none
no
nothing
not a single thing
do you like
put your
do you put a certain
sock on first
what
I put my right sock on first
and my shoe on first
I don't know why
but I do
I never don't
I notice
you are
a crazy lady
I have to start
every set of
walk on my right foot
and end it on my left.
Yeah, I always finger my wife with
my ring finger first. It's a
weird one. Would you ring finger? Oh, there's not much
power in that. Yeah, I know, but it's just a
superstition. It's a
family thing. It's been passed on from generation
to generation. I remember my gran saying,
you know, always use that finger first.
Lucky, then you'll marry.
Yeah.
It's a family thing thing it's a present thing
I've never told you about that
in three years
you only finger the one
you want to marry
god you guys
that is going to be
a bad fingering isn't it
it can't even
yeah there's no power in it
yeah
but then again
it is part of the greatest
twosome in fingering history
yeah
oh is it
yeah but the middle one's
carrying a lot of the weight
oh yeah
yeah yeah
and he's just like tagging along for the ride the middle one's carrying a lot of the weight oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
it's fucking
and he's just like
tagging along for the ride
the middle one's doing the
this is
this is Eric Morecambe
that's Ernie Wise
yeah but look
this one
there's a reference
for all our young listeners
Trill
and Trill
all our listeners
are like fucking hell
there we go
Morecambe and Wise
they were great
have you looked at
nothing in your life
and you go
I've got to do that
it's just a part of your day
there is a superstition
there's a difference
between superstition
and routine isn't there
yeah he's like
the most OCD
but he's not doing it
to please the gods
he's doing it
to please himself
what do you do
to please yourself
except for masturbate
yeah
he cleans up doesn't he
you're always fucking tidying.
One of my superstitions is a seatbelt.
A seatbelt.
I just put it in a car.
Mad.
I just put the seatbelt on, click it in,
and I'm like, oh my God, one crash for Thor.
Do you wear a seatbelt in the back of a taxi?
Do you know what?
I genuinely judge it on the driver and the car.
Sometimes, yes.
But not in a black cab because they're invincible
in an Uber
or in a
minicab
yeah
because that's just a car
abroad it goes out the window
yeah
abroad I'm not going off the windows
I never ever put a seatbelt on
if I'm in the back seat
I don't know why
but I just feel like
you're safe it's fine yeah well I'm in the back seat. I don't know why, but I just feel like... You're safe.
It's fine.
Yeah.
Well, I'm going to die and I'll kill everyone else as well.
I honestly thought, as we got on a taxi one night,
you in Nashville, you got in and didn't buckle up.
As I buckled up, I was like, why am I buckling up?
Because if we crash, I'm going to get killed by a flying Adam Rowe.
And that's sort of how I want to go.
I like the person behind me to buckle up.
I kept telling Jack off.
Yeah. Because I was like... We're all traumatised from Julie Newey killer, aren't we? I don I want to go. I like the person behind me to buckle up. I kept telling Jack off. Yeah.
Because I was like,
we're all traumatised from Julie Newair killer, aren't we?
I don't want to know me killer.
Jack off.
Was that an advert?
Yeah.
Julie Newair killer.
And it was just this son or something.
So it must have worked.
And he stabbed her.
Yeah.
I don't want to go to bed.
Yeah, the thing is,
you drive home fine
and you just get in and blows it up.
Those fucking adverts are bullshit.
The Think Motorbike one,
we're like,
did you see it?
And they go to the lights
and he turns right
and there's defo
no motorbike there at all.
And then on the next clip,
he's like,
look again,
and there's a motorbike.
I'm a motorbike!
Yeah, he's got about
400 miles an hour.
That's like,
what can you do?
Think Motorbike.
No, that stuck with me,
that one.
I don't want to know my killer.
And also the mobile phone one, have can you do? Think motorbike. No, that stuck with me, that one. I don't want to know my killer. Yeah, I know.
And also the mobile phone one.
Have you seen that?
So, like, it's the...
The mobile phone advert.
No, for crashing.
She looks down on the mobile and answers it.
And there's an elephant.
And then she crashes and dies.
And the fella's like,
hello, are you there?
And he's, like, getting upset and she's dead.
And she's like, no, I'm dead.
Oh, God.
It's probably hack,
but the little girl one traumatised me when I was little. Stop hitting me. If you hit me at 20, I'm all right. If you hit she's like no I'm dead oh god it's probably hack but the little girl
one traumatised me
when I was little
stop hitting me
if you hit me at 20
I'm alright
if you hit me at 30
I'm fine
if you hit me at 40
I'm dead
it's slow mo
with a kid
getting fucking
bonneted into the air
she's like
she's looking right
down the camera
she fucking dabs
if you hit me at 120
you're in the
Guinness Book of World Records
it's a 20 zone yeah they work though If you hit me at 120, you're in the Guinness Book of World Records.
It's a 20 zone.
Yeah.
They worked out.
We remember them all.
I don't remember the one that you said.
The phone one.
It fucking... I remember being really angry at your mum
because I called her.
Not knowing where she was
and she answered.
I was like,
are you driving?
Since before it was really bad.
And I put the phone down now
and never answered it if you're driving.
She's like,
okay, sorry.
She's a proper snooker, me.
Good adverts.
Going back to superstitions,
I reckon you've,
you do the lawn
in a specific way.
That's what I imagine.
Put his pants off.
Yeah, because I don't want
to anger the turf gods
because they will smite me.
None of it's superstition.
Am I wrong though?
Do you do it in a specific way i guarantee
he does it in a specific way but it's not because he's like oh i've got to do this he's just like
oh i've got to do it this way because i've always done now we're talking systems systems get on me
i will let on to systems make your life work better. That's not superstition.
Dad, what?
Is JK Rowling the turf god?
Oh.
Trans exclusion, any radical feminist.
Yeah, and that's why I mow the pride flag into my lawn every time.
I don't know where I get the pink dye from, but I make it work.
Go on, watch your system.
You've got to be careful that no one confuses that for Russia when it's all green.
It's a different message isn't it um i uh what systems oh yeah you've got to mow the lawn in a certain way there you go then you have got these things i'll talk you through it i go once
around the edge and then i go twice around the edge that creates a sort of frame a border and
then when i've gone around twice i then stuck the a border and then when I've gone round twice
I then stuck the lines in
and then obviously
you've already mowed
on that edge part
because obviously
you can't struggle
so
you get a turning circle
for the lines
where you've already cut
have you got a sit on one?
what?
have you got a sit on mower?
how well do you think
we're doing?
I know
what are you doing?
you've definitely
got a sit on mower
Dan you've got
like seven cars it's not out of the realms? You've definitely bought a sit-on mower. Dan, you've got like seven cars.
Hang on.
It's not
out of the realm
of possibility.
You've got a
fucking sit-on mower.
You bought a BMW
for a week last year
and it was like,
I'm bored,
so I'm like...
And a Jag.
Hang on.
That's not
a ridiculous question.
The Seat is not
the problem.
I haven't got
How else are we
going to do it?
I think I've
fucking made the money
buying a Nike
and a Adidas
no I'm a goaler man
I'm staying that way
goaler
he's never done my voice like that
hello
I'm Don Nightingale
that is what you sound like
I've got a fucking Jag
a BMW
and a ride on
moo
I haven't got the lawn
to justify a
a ride on.
It would look insane if I trundled it out of the garage,
started it up.
Oh shit, it needs a service, a bit of fuel.
Be around in four minutes
and Laura would probably divorce me.
Why, she can have a go.
Although there is a green on the front,
the council aren't mowing it.
I have thought about...
No, then you're a paedophile. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why is number 17 on his ride on m green on the front the council aren't mowing it I have thought about now then you're a paedophile
yeah yeah yeah
why is number 17
on his ride on mower
oh I know
but Oliver across the road
plays football on it
and he's like literally
playing in fucking dandelions
how old is he
I don't know
he must be about 10
but you appreciate
your neighbour that does
the stuff for the community
yeah we just get on a ride
on mower
I know but we've already
got one of those
haven't we
fucking Martin
Martin the cunt
oh he's an absolute that's not his real name is it that blew my mind yeah it is his real name I know, but we've already got one of those, haven't we? Fucking Martin. Martin the cunt.
Oh, he's an absolute... That's not his real name, is it?
That blew my mind.
Yeah, it is his real name, Carl.
Well, it doesn't matter if it isn't
because there's lots of other names.
Yeah, there is.
Oh, yes.
There's two names.
It's Lucinda.
I can't be that guy.
I can't get a lawn
because the council came around
we're going to plant loads of shrubbery in it and just let it grow
and everyone booted off and went can we just have a little green
where the kids can play football
and they were like right okay fine
but we're not going to cut it much
and I in protest nearly bought a ride on lawnmower
but then I am the absolute
hard on going
I'm doing it for the community
I don't think there's a problem with that.
I'm all for that, me.
I'd love a ride on my way eventually
when I've got a big garden.
I can't imagine having to buy an extra parking space
in your flat.
I know, I'll take the bunk,
but this doesn't make sense, love.
Please don't mow in the corridors.
There is a new rule.
No, what you do is,
because you like the biggest and best,
you buy like a tractor
or like a combine harvester.
This'll do it.
Oh, and then there's just a line of tractors.
Yeah, that's an old tractor.
I've got a new tractor.
I've lost the keys to that one.
Oh, that one's, I just don't know.
I've never liked it in green.
I've got a red one.
You don't need two tractors.
No, I do.
Fuck off.
I don't think I'm as frivolous as you lot make out.
Oh, come on.
Oh, I've just hydrated myself.
I know, that coffee is from Pret, so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I get my money's worth out of that subscription, mate.
Easily.
And I get my money's worth out of sneak hydrate.

Just melted his head.
It's not a...
I don't know.
You know.
Oh, you thought I was making him gay?
I didn't think you were making him gay.
I didn't think you were...
He was like,
do you know what?
I've met Dan.
Do you know what?
He's made me gay.
Your flower beds are so beautiful.
I thought he was a gay person.
Oh, no, no, no.
He's just a space cadet.
I bet if he gets...
If he talked like that genuinely,
women love all that, don't they?
He must get so much attention.
Love all what?
People who sound like they're talking to death.
I'm doing...
I'm doing...
He's a bit mental.
I'm not doing like...
Women love campings.
I think I've maybe...
I think women feel comforted by it
and then they lull themselves into a sense of security
yeah
women love that and then also they can share eyeliner
and they love that
that's handy, you've both got handbags
shares the load
they love that
women love
gay men
what the fuck
most of them have a gay mate
it's like an accessory is it? gay men. What the fuck, innit? Folks have got a gay mate.
It's like an accessory,
innit?
Is it?
Yeah.
I've got a gay mate.
Oh, right.
Like women in comedy,
they must,
like,
you know,
do quite well.
You can, like,
really fucking move yourself up,
can't you?
I had a straight female friend,
but this one's doing even better. It's one of Barney Stinson's plays,
innit?
So,
I know you haven't seen
How I Met Your Mother, but Barney Stinson's plays, isn't it? So I know you haven't seen How I Met Your Mother,
but Barney Stinson's got a load of elaborate ways to pull women.
And one of them, he pretends to be a gay hairdresser
with a straight twin brother.
Gets to know them as the hairdresser.
And then when they're like, oh my God,
you know, every fucking day,
you go, oh, it's fucking terrible.
I'm not, no, it's fucking weird.
And he's like, do you know what?
I've got a fucking straight twin brother.
And he's just exactly like me. And they're like, oh my God.
And Barney fucks him.
Right.
It's an absolute sex pest.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a lethargian.
We love a sex pest in sitcoms.
As much anymore?
What? Like a Joey. Do you think it's dated?
Yeah, probably. Barney Stinson's much more of a
player than Joey.
That is quite sinister though, isn't it?
Like Joey was like, I love eating and fucking.
Yeah.
And how'd you do it, Joey?
Is there any gaslighting?
No, I just go, how you doing?
It was quite a simple, like,
Joey's character was the most simple, wasn't it?
Yeah.
He's attractive with, like, he's a big gold heart.
Like he's a big gold heart,
like he's a big cuddly boy.
Loves eating,
like a,
loves his mum,
family guy who's attractive and is good with it.
But it's,
it wasn't a complicated character.
No.
Barney Stimson?
Stimson.
Stimson sounds,
that's a bit more advanced,
isn't it?
Oh yeah,
he's a psycho.
Setting up a lab.
He's a complete psychopath,
but lovable.
I think it's a bit,
like Joe Barney
in The Simpsons
doesn't drink beer
no more
he's not a
alcoholic
he's addicted
to coffee
no
because you
don't want to
have a character
who is an
alcoholic
it's like they
took Apu out
because he
wasn't voiced
by an Asian
man
I understand
that one a bit
more
that was a
campaign by
Harry Condor
thingy Condoleezry condor lisa rice
harry conduit um yeah and like it it's also divided the south asian community that because
a lot of people were like this was a really offensive character people used to call me a
school and then there was all the people who were like,
that was my only representation on TV.
On telly, yeah.
So controversial.
But I hate this sort of,
the way we're going with characters,
where it's like, oh, characters have to be perfect
and no character can be problematic.
Like the musical Dear Evan Hansen,
like got like rave reviews.
It's just finished.
It's London run.
I think it's still running on Broadway in New York.
I loved going to see that.
It was great.
But it started getting criticism
because it was like, you know,
by the end of the play,
everyone's sort of like thinks Evan Hansen's sound,
but he's actually a really mean guy
and he's not really,
he's not like a perfect character.
So it got like criticism from people because he's not a really mean guy and he's not really, he's not like a perfect character. So it got like criticism from people
because he's not this fucking angel.
And it's like, he doesn't have to be.
No one's perfect.
And when we start sort of removing
the chance for characters to be wrong,
to have flaws,
what the fuck are we doing?
Realistic.
It's not admitted on life.
Like it's meant,
sitcoms and stuff are meant to be like,
these people exist.
Yeah, be a grown-up
and be able to deal with
just more layers to a character.
Kids get that, don't they?
Who's good and bad and everything.
It's not as clear-cut as that in adult life.
That's healthy, isn't it?
These people exist.
This happens.
Not everyone's perfect
and then when someone isn't,
you're like, what the fuck? The world isn't't perfect surely the most interesting writing does have that doesn't
it does have that like push and pull of good and evil yeah and you're not meant to like you're
meant to love a character despite their flaws that that's the best writing isn't it is when
a character is not a perfect person but you're like ah but, but they're still, like you still connect with them.
And you're like, yeah, they fucked up quite a bit,
but that's not okay.
But it doesn't matter.
Modern sitcoms, I think Ted Lasso's nailed that
in terms of depth of character
and they've all got different flaws and stuff.
And they're all, they're not just cartoon like Joey,
like they've got two things about them.
They're all proper people.
The only, like I love Ted Lasso.
The only thing I think about it is it's a little bit into the unbelievable.
This season especially, yeah.
Like the characters are not potentially real people.
I think in the first season they would have been.
Maybe.
It's the flanderization of characters, isn't it?
Eventually,
they become
just a little bit
they become like a
parody of themselves.
Yeah, but like
I found that even
in season one,
to be honest,
like Ted Lasso,
so the main storyline
of Ted Lasso is
he is an NFL coach
who gets hired to coach
a British football team.
And he comes over
and he's got zero knowledge of the game,
but to a cartoonish degree.
Yeah, so he wouldn't have got the job.
So it's not believable.
Well, now the reason he gets the job,
sort of spoilers, this is revealed in the first episode,
is the woman who owns the club has gone through a divorce.
Her ex-husband was the owner of the club. She got the club in the divorce. Her ex-husband was the owner of the club.
She got the club in the divorce.
Her ex-husband loves the club.
She hires Ted Lasso because she wants him to fail.
That's a fucking up.
Because it will hurt her husband who owned the club.
And obviously they go on a bit of a journey
where she ends up developing a relationship with Ted Lasso
on a professional basis.
And that's the, without doing any more spoilers.
So she's hired him
because he'll be shit at it.
But like,
there's a good set up
if you're trying to,
if you're trying to make
that set up work.
It's really good
but like there's moments
where he doesn't know
the offside rule
and it's like,
he'd have read that
on the plane at least.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Like there's just moments in it where it's like, it's amazing and like on the plane, at least. Do you know what I mean? Like, there's just moments in it where it's like,
it's amazing.
And like, I can't, the new episode dropped today.
I can't wait to go and watch it tonight.
But it's not real.
No, no, you have got to suspend disbelief.
I'm talking about in terms of like-
A little bit.
Especially the Roy Kent character,
who is just Roy Keane, is a hard man.
And a few decades ago ago he'd have just been
the hard man but he deals with his mental health and has a deeper level of character and you go oh
he's yeah it's not the first it's not this is the character this is his trait yeah yeah there's
there's more more of a human side to it yeah i mean friends was fascinating wasn't it because
everyone loved it
and it was beautifully written but you did have to suspend some disbelief didn't you because it was
they weren't it was it's still a very artificial situation isn't it well some of them are
unemployed three there's six friends and they don't really hang out with anyone else and it
and although they weren't like really shallow characters,
they were just like two, three points, weren't they?
Like Joey's maybe the extreme example,
but then you sort of just buy in, don't you?
You do suspend a bit of this
because you know it's a studio recorded like sitcom.
You have to sort of just buy in.
That's what I'm saying.
The same with all sitcoms.
Eventually they just become,
well, pretty much every sitcom just becomes a caricature.
The first few seasons tends to be,
you could buy into it.
And then by season seven.
It's like, oh, that's funny because he's Ross.
He wouldn't say that.
Yeah.
The Simpsons is the term,
Flandernization comes from The Simpsons.
The Simpsons is the epitomelanderisation Comes from The Simpsons Yeah The Simpsons is the epitome of that
Everybody became a parody of themselves
Homer became this fucking idiot
And that's why The Simpsons has gone shit
Because everyone's just doing the thing
You expect that character to do
So you're like
Yeah there's no comedy
Because
Yeah that lost its heart
Comedy comes from the surprise
Doesn't it
Yeah
If you've got an original writing team
And you achieve massive success
That's the thing
that keeps it together the cast is obviously important but who's writing it who's because
once that changes it's that but it's also it's also just over time you've run out of ideas ideas
that are based in the real world like south park did it in the first few series. I think there's an episode called The Simpsons Did It
where they, I think it's, I might even think it's Butters maybe,
and they just go through all of the things
that a cartoon has already done
and they just go, fuck it, doesn't matter.
Yeah.
Well, it's The Simpsons starter.
There's like, oh, this is an American family, 2.4 kids,
you know, housewife, it's like father. And it's like, oh, this is is a an american family 2.4 kids you know housewife it's like
father and it's like oh this is like a mirror on the world and we're going to parody the world and
this is what happens and then homer goes to space and become like yeah you're like okay
jump in the shark literally but i still love it and i watch it all it doesn't bother me
but i can i watch it go downhill from a certain point that's the argument for uk shows
isn't it like the office you leave it at two and then yeah the us seems to milk it a lot more than
the uk there's too much money involved isn't that like a big american hit is hundreds of millions
of dollars whereas a british one is six episodes. Like, it's the difference between a six-episode series
and a 24-episode series.
It's just insane.
And the market's so much bigger.
But the amount of times you go,
oh, the first, like, Homeland, the first season,
unbelievable.
Killing it.
Westworld.
Like, that's British, is that?
Oh, yeah, but I'm saying the first season was great.
There's so many examples of American stuff.
You're like, oh, the first season,
the first two seasons are sick,
and then it goes shit.
You'd think somebody got it right by now,
but they haven't.
Breaking Bad got it right.
Yeah.
But Westwell fucked it.
That could have been the best.
Game of Thrones fucked it.
I know that's based on the book,
but there's so many examples of them going.
Game of Thrones just didn't land it.
Stuck to London.
They weren't fucking it.
It was building brilliantly.
By the time
the last few seasons were coming on me and laura were hyped like it was it was one of them ones
where you cannot watch this without me there will be murder yeah and then they just went
and couldn't land it if like the in between is perfect three seasons pet like the uk just seems
to get it right a little bit more and it probably is based on money yeah but then when it comes to comedy maybe we do want a little bit of an escape
like how many messages do we get about this like i literally saw a tweet yesterday from a lady
who was like do you know what i've stopped doing i've listened to i've stopped listening to self
help and self-improvement podcasts and i've started listening to have a word from the start
and it's doing my mental health the world of fucking good because there's a level of like we're not trying to fix it we're just fucking around just trying to make
you laugh maybe there's a lot to be said for those sitcoms who are like not trying to change the world
yeah just trying to make you laugh the good place is perfect for that yeah the good place is so good
like it's like suspend all belief and just enjoy what you're watching because not everyone can
handle the reality like i know
kirby enthusiasm isn't like brutal reality but there is a lot of realism in it and it makes a
lot of people cringe because they empathize and then can't handle the that's the cringiness as
well yeah the office gets a team of rum as well yeah what i love about the good place is it feels
real to me because of the setup the setup is this is the afterlife and then they
make everything make sense like there's logic behind every yeah everything you have to suspend
your belief for you're like they explain it oh yeah it's not just this for this it's yeah yeah
because of this have you watched the good place i've watched a little i started it and then it
just didn't care short episodes so you can just watch them in little bites they're funny um they follow on from each
other but some of them stand alone great like great writing the perfect length great cast it's
a proper it's the writers with that again it's the same team as the american office parks and
rec it's all those yeah those ones mike sure who created that it's so good it's just genius that's
also why i like stuff like Rick and Morty.
And I know you're not big into animation,
but you don't have to suspend disbelief
because it's a fantasy world.
And if the writing's good,
it can be as ridiculous as it wants
because you are enjoying how creative the journey is
on those episodes.
And also it's just so well written
so much fun stuff
they get very meta as well
don't they
they take the piss off itself
and
they take the piss out of you
watching it
it didn't start like that
and Solar Opposites
is just an extension
it's fucking amazing
yeah
erm
and that's what we think is good
there's the have a weird list
of good things
what do you think is good? erm it's a little short but let's have a weird list of good things. What do you think is good?
It's a little short, but let's have a break.
Yes.
That's spot on.
Had my first therapy session yesterday.
I could sense a change.
I don't think you'd get up.
What?
Because you were hungover to fuck.
It was half five in the afternoon.
Oh.
That's weird.
Me and you had therapy at the exact same time
yeah
I felt that as well
yeah
yeah
did you
um
turns out I'm sound
she just said
don't need to come back
I'm just 20 minutes in
I'm gonna stop you there
you're done
I don't even know
what you're doing here
in fact
could you give me therapy
Adam
and also
do you want a blowy
have you done it have you a blowy have you done it
before
have you done it before
done couples therapy
before
have you
with the next girlfriend
yeah
didn't work out
what
couples therapy
was funny
because she basically
just told me
that I was right
about all the arguments
she was wrong
that's what they're for
they're judging
the arguments
he wins that one
next
2-0
wow
fucking hell
he's doing well
clipped to that actual
company therapy
that's pretty much what it is
what are you all about
I've never heard anyone
who's so wrong
and I'm like
yeah that went my way
I'm happy with that
what
I'm right
yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah
next time I think we should get a couples counselling by a man What? I'm right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Next time,
I think we should get a couple's counselling
by a man.
Loaded the bases.
I had a counsellor go yesterday.
Yeah, sounds.
Basically, she said,
you don't need to bother
coming back.
Yeah.
This is Susie
down on the docks.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
Sounds like an old indie song,
doesn't it?
Susie is talking
on the docks
Susie on the docks
just sit on a pallet
I'll open up the warehouse
come in
sit down
yeah I'm definitely
going to
I'm going to write
some stand up
about the
therapy stuff
you're not going back
what
you're really not
going back
she said I don't
need to go back
she said you seem
healthy
confident of anything
I don't believe you is back she said you seem healthy confident of anything I don't believe
you
is that real
and your dick
looks great
did you ever
spoke to her
no
he carried it on
for so long
it became believable
I believed it
yeah
there's things he
started three years
ago that we're still
doing
his python dick
you just keep
leaning into it
and everyone's like
no it must be true
how did it go
was it helpful
it was good yeah
yeah
it was nice to get
a few things off my chest
I didn't realise
how much had happened
we did
a lot has happened
hasn't it
yeah
fucking hell
I don't usually do
five hour sessions
but we just kept rolling
I found when my first
ever therapy session
that I just blurted loads
I just tried to
do you know what I mean
yeah
that's the point isn't it
you have to go
hang on
let me just tell you
here's why I'm fucked up
let's talk about everything
first couple of sessions
were just me going
and then this
and then this
and then all of this
and then this
and I
like how did you find that?
Did you find yourself just...
Where did you start?
She said, I'm very detached from my problems.
Because I say them.
What?
I say them like I'm reading them about someone else.
No.
I'd love to see the start of that therapy.
Right, Adam, what's the biggest problem?
Like, it was last season.
We were going for the quadruple
and I think
that's where it all
started
yeah me mum's dead
but never mind
that was one of the
best Liverpool teams
I've ever seen play
and to just get
was it two trophies
did you lie at any
point to then realise
and tell the truth
nearly
because I feel like
I'd do that to
protect myself
I'd be like
what am I doing
I nearly lied about
something that I won't mention I nearly lied about something I'd done and I was like why am I lying to protect myself i'd be like what i nearly lied about uh something that i won't
mention i nearly lied about something i'd done yeah i was like why am i lying to her 9 11 just
say that you were there that was me in it i don't want to ruin too much of the the routine i'm going
to do but she took me through like the like the ethical stuff at the start she's like so you know
if you talk about any of this, I don't tell anyone,
but if you talk about this, this, this, and this,
then I have to inform the authorities.
And one of them was terrorism.
She's like, if you're plotting any terror attacks,
I do have to tell the authorities.
She doesn't usually say that,
but she got a sense of you in the door.
I'm just going to have to...
Terrorism, what?
It looks silly.
So did you catch yourself about to lie
and go, what's the point?
Yeah, what am I doing
I feel like I'd do that
but it was only once
everything else
I was just like
yeah
oh I
I
yeah you tell a story
and then
the first few sessions
I was on like session 5 or 6
and I was like
and now I'm going to tell you
all of that story
like I
I found myself
omitting stuff
hell
holding stuff back
and then later on in the process you go what's the point I found myself omitting stuff holding stuff back and then
later on in the process
you go
what's the point
I found myself
just remembering stuff
that I'd forgotten happened
I was just like
in the first session
you've had a
a phenomenal first session
I'm an open book though
aren't I
yeah
you know what I mean
yeah
you know
you're literally a locked book
that's why you're there
no but like
what I mean by an open book
is like
it's not like I
naturally hold things back
no he's
you can't
oh you just lock things away
you can't do this podcast
for as long as you've done
and be like
I am
now I'm really gonna tell you
what I think
do you know what
I've spent the first
250
whatever
now
erm
yeah
but yeah
I've never done
what I'm on therapy before
it was just the couples one
and the couples one
genuinely was like
right here's the argument
we're having
right
and then
yeah but you sort of
do do that
it's like I feel like
this she feels like
that they're at odds
with each other
who's right
that's sort of what it
she was herb Dean
essentially
yeah
but then she kept going
it's over
oh
1-0
you'd let it go on
for far too long
yeah yeah yeah
hey nice Herb Dean reference
thank you
I didn't want to go
to the couples counselling
but er
I was talked into it
by me
my girlfriend at the time
and then
she was the one
who stopped us going
because she was like
she's fucking silent
with you all the time
we're getting a different one
my mate Mandy
do you use
fancy doing a top five
no
no okay
I want to hear more
about his therapy
top five therapists
top five therapy
moments
I had them all yesterday
did you feel light after
did you feel like
oh
I feel a bit better
I still felt hungover
so
it's when the therapist
started clapping
that's when you knew
you'd had a good one
that's the best first there's had a good one got an encore
got an encore
there's something that happened
that I'm not going to say
just because
I'm going to do it
in the stand up
but it's so funny
right
are you going to therapy
for stand up
yeah basically
I do everything
buy tickets
and you'll see what happens
these click bait
and stand up tickets
fucking rat
I want to know
am I buying tickets
you can get fucked
you are gonna see
this show though
I will see it
by accident
oh Carl
I'll be there
for some of them
obviously
play me
real
is it in real
you going to real
yeah
I'm going to real

Lovely.
Oh, you've got to invite Chris to the show.
He's just standing there with his guitar for three hours.
Chris is opening for me.
Go on, Chris.
So are you guys.
Right, let's do a top five.
I think Finn, I think you're right.
Yeah. You want to do a top five? Yeah, I think you're right yeah you want to do a top five
yeah I felt a natural roll
that's what we're going for
ready
yes
where is it
you tell me
do you remember
yeah
remember the person again though
right top five
this is from
Dan Allinson
top five simple pleasures something like a sit down
that is absolutely class but not life-changing just dead nice a few off the top of my head would
be fresh bedding good cup of tea getting a snow day when you're in school funny sounding fart a
wank etc etc so life simple funny sounding wank funnyank snow wank um my number one is
my number one's sitting down sitting down is the best thing in the fucking world
i love sitting down so much someone else cancelling a plan that you didn't want to do anyway oh
yeah nice so beautiful you get the fucking all right i've got that fucking thing on friday and
yet friday and someone's like adam just can got that fucking thing on Friday and you get to Friday
and someone's like
Adam
I can't make it
and you're like
you owe me one
then the fucking
Ronaldinho on a couch
George's a good one
have you
do you ever order
takeaway and it's shit
and you're very disappointed
but you're full
because you've eaten
some of it
getting a good takeaway
and getting it right
you ordered the right thing
from the right place
yeah
and they put it all
in the bag
yeah
that's a simple pleasure
when you're like
oh my god
it's all there
yeah
they got it right
it's what you wanted
it's cooked
I got the takeaway
order right
because you can do this
by reversing it
you know when you
go what were you getting
for tea
and then you flip flop
and then get the wrong thing
and you're eating
and you go nah I didn't really want this and then get the wrong thing and you're eating and you go
nah I didn't really want this
getting food
envy's the worst isn't it
when you order something
and you're like
you've ordered sounds good as well
and then you look at it
and you're like
fucking hell I wanted that
yeah
oh they're the worst
when everyone's like
can't be arsed cooking
what do you want to get
let's order something in
and then there's debate about it
and then it's disappointing
you get it wrong
and you fall off
and you've spent money
and you're not satisfied
and no wipe
poo
yeah
can I just say
any
any form of
satisfying
plop
I'm guessing
I know for sure
just any form
of satisfying
plop
I really like that
a proper empty
like a big
solid one
that like pushes
on the like every inch of your bum hole
and it feels like a fucking car's coming out your ass yeah but wow no the last 20 percent of that
is like i reckon that's what getting bum feels like no hang on that's not the poo i meant i
like the poo where you go oh i need a poo and then you go i bet that's all the poo you know
what it's just like yeah like i don't like the feeling when i'm like I need a poo and then you go I bet that's all the poo you know when it's just like oh yeah
I don't like the feeling
when I'm like
when I can feel my sphinx
going oh god
this is a big bum boy
I like it when I feel like
that sneak cup's coming out my ass
oh no
yeah because you know
you're empty
and the last bit's like
a little
it's fucking superb
tickle
this is why I think
I'd make a good gay
I think I'd love getting bummed
you'd love this up your arse I think I'd love getting bummed you'd love this up your ass
I think I'd love
getting bummed
yeah I reckon you would
as well
oh well then
count me out
I'm not doing it
because I've got
internalised homophobia
but I think I'd love it
you have internalised
cock as well
I think some of that's
on the exterior
seeping out
do you know what's good
as well
you can change the drink
the first sip of
Lucasade
after the game of footy
when it fucking
burns your mouth
it's just dead bubbly
oh my god
that's just taken me back
to playing footy
on the fields at school
and I just
you know when you
you've just played
and played for the whole hour
we got
and it's baking all day
and I basically just
downed a can
I can't even remember
what it was
do you know what's gassy
it's like burning your mouth but you're like yeah when a stranger just downed a can I can't even remember what it was so it's gassy it's like burning your mouth
but you're like
yeah
when a stranger's dog
takes a lichen to you
like when you're in the park
and the dog's like
fucking hell he's sad
and they jump on you
yeah you look like a kid
you look like a king there
don't you
when you wake up
and you think
you know when you've
you have to get up early
so regularly
and then you wake up
and you go
oh no
what time is it
that's my one
and then you go oh there's nothing to do I don you wake up and you go oh no that's my one and then you go
oh there's nothing to do i don't have to be anywhere no oh no it's when you've got more
time than you think yeah oh my god the bit of like oh my god i've got to be up at eight and
it's definitely gonna be two minutes to eight what time is it it's quarter past five get in
no the best one's like it's like you feel like you've been a kid for ages and you wake up and
it's like half one.
You're like, oh my God,
I've got like fucking five hours left here.
Six hours.
Get in.
Yeah, no, I was up across my six.
I get up at seven o'clock every day.
Can I throw in feeling my wife's bottom?
Ten to seven.
Yeah, I love that as well.
If anyone's not tried it.
Yesterday, she was just drying up.
She was doing her hair and she was like,
and I was like,
can I just have a little feel of your bum?
She was like, of course you can.
Oh, what a simple pleasure.
I feel Seneca's ass.
Just having a little touch of the person you love's bum.
80% of the time I'm with her, my hand's on her ass.
It's great.
She's got a great ass.
Going up the stairs in front and giving it a slap.
Oh, yeah.
That's good.
And they know it's happening.
They're like, oh, no.
You're like, fuck off.
If I moisturise my whole body like Laura does,
do you think my skin,
is it just men's skin is not as nice and soft?
Or are they just maintaining it better?
They're maintaining it better.
Because Christ almighty, so smooth.
Her arse is soft.
My?
Yeah.
Mrs. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're right.
Getting sucked off to completion.
Simple pleasure.
Penetrative sex with an orgasm
getting sucked off
from start to finish
and you don't do
anything else though
like you haven't even
got them warmed
you haven't fingered
you haven't licked put
you're just being lazy
lying down
and they just
for no reason
just suck you off
unannounced?
yeah
what?
they just start playing with your dick and then they put your dick in their mouth and they suck you off unannounced yeah what they just
start playing with your dick
and then they put your dick
in their mouth
and they suck you off
until you cum
that is such a subtle one
it's a simple
simple pleasure
that everyone enjoys
women
children
just getting sucked off
don't be a fucking nunce now
I'm talking about
an adult woman
sucking my dick
that's a simple pleasure.
I've got one.
Good free public Wi-Fi.
Oh, yes.
When it doesn't do the...
Yeah, you can pay for it on this BT thing.
Wi-Fi, like a public Wi-Fi thing where you click it
and it just goes, you're connected.
You don't have to sign in.
There's no email.
There's no name.
It just goes, have some internet lad
yeah
there you go
look for whatever you like here
Dan I feel like you'll agree with me on this one
a hotel bath
yeah oh
I'm with you
yeah
laptop on the toilet
Netflix on
in the bath
hotel wank
I love a hotel wank
you famously love a hotel wank
yeah
yeah a bath in a hotel is.
Going for fresh bread or pastry at the shop
and they've just put all of the new stuff in there.
It's warm.
It's warm.
Wait, I was doing that.
What?
Did you do that?
Which?
Go for fresh pastries in the shop.
Fresh bread?
Yeah.
But literally, you're walking
and she's just put all the fresh,
or he's put the...
Yeah, you're like,
I'm fucking getting it.
Oh, you might love that fucking warm baguette.
And then being sucked off while you're getting fresh bread.
Hang on, hang on.
Can I say with all of these,
it's better if you also get sucked off to completion?
Yeah.
So when the woman brings fresh pastry,
and they're all warm,
and then just without saying a
word you know just sucks you off to completion in the car you're in subway and they cut the bread
perfectly like it's right down the middle there's no like you know when like you get a subway and
they cut like fucking 10 and like there's 10 to 90 of the bread and it's like the wrong ratio
yeah when they just get it at like that perfect 60-40. So it holds the film. Are you allowed with a subway
to go,
lad,
that needs recutting.
I mean,
they can't recut,
but.
Like,
it's just whether you want
to make a scene,
isn't it?
You love making a scene.
I don't.
Do you not?
No.
Unless I'm in the mood.
I've got two driving ones.
I've just thought of a driving one.
When you're approaching
a red light
and one lane's busier
than the other
you switch lanes
it goes green
you drive past them all
yeah
that was great
I feel like I'm winning
at life there
do you know why
because like
they've beat me
to the red light
but now I'm ahead of them
yeah
so I've like
I've overtook
and they couldn't have done
not on a body
yeah
another one driving
when someone's a dickhead
and they're behind you
and you get to the red light
just before them to the green and stops them at the red yeah someone was's a dickhead and they're behind you and you get to the red light just before them
to the green
and stops them at the red
yeah
someone was being a dickhead
on the motorway
a few weeks ago
on the M62
just being an arse
I was overtaking
I was in the
second overtaking lane
and he did that thing of like
well I'm going faster than you
so I'm going to get right behind you
I just
I was doing 79, 78.
So I moved into the lane.
He put his foot down.
Oh, I got a flash.
Did he?
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Have you not told us that yet?
Jesus Christ, that's the dream?
That's wonderful.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, you're going to be so annoyed
do you know what I do
to me
because my car can move
I let people come up my arse
the car can move
shoot mate
whoa
come again
I let people
approach my car
to the rear
and be close
and then fuck you
and then I'll move over
to the middle
middle lane
but then
put my foot down
just to be that guy if you want to overtake me fucking earn it and I'll move over to the middle lane but then put my foot down so I'm like
if you want to overtake me
fucking earn it
and I'll go like
115
in my head
miles an hour
obviously I'm doing 70
at all times
and then they can't
overtake me
and I'll just go back again
and be like
well they gave you the chance
you just didn't take it
love it
can we get into the bit
of Simple Pleasures
where other people
are suffering misfortune
this is like there's an also in a layer of like Simple Pleasures where other people are suffering misfortune There's also a layer of like
when people are being
swatched like oh
fuck you
What about when you've got an itch on your back that you can't quite reach
and you ask someone to itch your back for you
and without any directions they get it
first time
Who's your go to
back scratcher? Your lady
Can you scratch me back? Oh yeah there time. What? Who's your go-to back scratcher? Your lady.
Oh yeah, your lady.
Can you scratch me back?
Where about just like, oh yeah, there, there.
And when it moves, they move with it.
Yeah.
Oh!
They get in it each time.
They move because the scratch moves.
We all know that.
And they're like bam, bam, bam, bam.
There you go, kid.
And you're like, bam.
I feel like this is a similar one.
I don't know how, but it feels similar.
When you've had something stuck in your teeth all day and you managed to get it out yeah yeah when you're hang on got it got it people don't like it but i
really i think earbuds is a really nice i like that feeling not everyone use loves them but i
like that feeling that's a when when your hostage finally falls asleep yeah Yeah. You're like, shut up, I'm playing FIFA.
Yeah.
And then you've gone to sleep.
Oh, we all know that one.
A last minute winner on FIFA is up there as well.
When you've been down.
I was six to the open in the 84th minute last night
and drew six all and genuinely nearly put my arm
through the wall.
I tried to snap my pad in half.
I tried and they put me up to the wall.
It's gone unless when it went on FIFA.
I love going in a restaurant,
like a busy restaurant,
going,
have you got a table for like two?
And they go,
yeah.
It's like,
oh,
why is it?
How can it always not just be like that?
Any success that feels like it's not possible.
Like that is like,
not gonna have a table,
but we'll ask anyway. And they're like, oh going to have a table, but we'll ask anyway.
And they're like,
oh yeah,
you're like,
wow.
Anything like that.
Seeing a big pair of tits.
I saw a girl with big boobs
on the London Underground
eight years ago.
And I think about her
every six months.
There you go.
Like,
they were just so colossal. she'd been to whatever like a festival in the day

over different episodes
comment below what your simple pleasures are as well because we definitely missed pleasures is a thing we can carry on with over different episodes.
Comment below what your simple pleasures are as well,
because we've definitely missed some bangers. Do you reckon we can get a top five,
or do you want to just keep it on?
Do you think we collate even more,
and then do the top five?
Yeah.
Do you think there's more to Garner?
I think there's more.
There's loads.
I'll ditch your bum all with a shite.
With a fart I can get, you can angle it.
You're not an angler of shit, are you? Just all- all with a shite with a fart I can get you can angle it you're not an angler of shit are you just all encompassing shite
like just
and it's just like
oh yeah I got that as well
oh I know
when you need a piss and a shit at the same time
you just empty both of them
you walk out like six stone later
needing a piss
if you're desperate for a piss
and you've been desperate for like 20 minutes or something
that is better than coming
it's up there
the first piss on a night out you've broke the seal you're like oh my's up there the first person i've made out

animal Starbucks
and Costa
one toilet
for fucking everyone
and it's always
oh it's so
they're all
they can be so grim
those fuckers
yeah
remembering to skip
the advert
on something
you've recorded
yeah because if you forget
that's the opposite of getting time back
you're like I've just literally wasted
my time
a stream that doesn't lag when you're watching the footy
a dodgy stream that doesn't buffer
a good stream that you've found
not given to you
skippable adverts instantly
or get YouTube premiums
that being a myth
yeah
this is a good feature
finding
finding money
in a
a jacket pocket
is obviously such a
fucking
I found
just so
I love that feeling
I found the £5 note
on my doorstep today
Brian
mate

it might have been
and then it was useful
that day
yeah
cost of living crisis

I needed cash
he was there

bosh
I like this
there's loads
we'll keep it going
comment below
and we'll collate
the best ones
do you know
as a married man
just even
like
this is not
this is not like
I'm not wanting to cheat
I would never cheat
but that little moment
where
you just get a little
smile
or a little knowing
sort of like
she wants to fuck
and it's a little like
oh there's an attractive lady
and they're like hello
and then you don't do anything about it
because it's not
who you are
but you just know
that you could
you know if you were single
you'd be bowels deep
in 20 minutes bowels 20 minutes you'd be bows deep in 20 minutes
bow
20 minutes
there'd be something
afoot there
a tryst perhaps
I like that
that's a nice little moment
is the one where you
like when Etta
wipes her own arse
what?
does she wipe her own arse
no?
she forgives it
a good girl
but I'm saying
if she gets it right
no
yeah
she doesn't flush
she just wanders off
the amount of her shit that I have to deal with
do you know I have failed to flush the toilet
twice recently
in my house because of the toilet you've got me
oh yeah sometimes you just stand up and you feel done
yeah
well Etta does not have Japanese
technology on her side she just shits
and leaves
she's like have you washed your hands? Have you done anything
that you're meant to do?
Oh, mate,
I'm a busy woman.
I've fucked off.
If I could also
have a shower
without her coming in
and doing her shit,
that would be really nice.
I swear to God
that last week
I was having a shower.
Etta came in
and went,
sorry, daddy,
I need a poo.
And I was like,
right, cool.
Then Jack wandered in
to be like,
what's everyone doing?
And then Laura came in
to get Jack.
So I'm having a shower and I've got etta going sorry daddy and then poo in jack's like
oh my god fucking stressful simple pleasures just having a shower on your own in fact if i could go
through a load of parenting ones when you put the baby down when jack goes to and you put him in the
car don't say it and you give him his Oh no
I saw the cogs move
and I was like
he's not said it

one less kid

his son
simple pleasures
Carl calling
people paedophiles
honestly
you think I
don't enjoy it
but I do enjoy it we've enjoy this before he slept in bed
with kids he admitted that simple pleasure hearing one of Carl's jokes
thank you that is because sometimes I miss him what's the difference between
Neil Armstrong and Michael Jackson Neil Armstrong walked on the moon and Michael Jackson. Go on. Neil Armstrong walked on the moon and Michael Jackson
fucked little kids.
See,
I thought you were going to say
moonwalked.
I think everyone...
Are they mutually exclusive?
No,
it's a joke,
Carl.
Buzz Aldrin could shag kids.
Pull back and reveal
because you expect
it to be a moonwalk-based thing.
I've seen it from a comedian.
Jesus walked on water.
That might be...
Even awesome drone batteries.
That might be
the third joke

home but you know when they have a day out they really go for it they really go for it a lot of
people said you know you shouldn't drive
to the alps to ski for 97 year olds but he was like no i'm fucking doing it he went how he wanted
to go was he was he rich no okay oh he was that would be perfect wouldn't it do you know what i
mean you die on the slopes at 97 loads of money you go with your family he won the trip fair suggestion how did he win the trip done
probably cross
crosswords
it was a big
it was one of the big crosswords
how did you win a crossword
listen that's what he did
have you never seen those
like crosswords
in like magazines
where it's like
you've got to find out
like the answer to this line
is like a word
or a phrase
as you enter
and then you enter. Yeah.
And then we always said crosswords would kill him.
And in a way.
But we meant fighting at the pub, but you know,
that's him genuinely did die.
Not in a skiing accident.
So he did die.
That's all bullshit.
And you're already joking about it.
And it happened today.
Yeah.
Well, last night.
Last night. Can 97 97 years old
yeah but it does that 97 years old yeah but still it's a win let it let it simmer let it marinate
for a little while the thing is though he doesn't listen to this so he can't know it's fine do you
know what i mean though you know like you'd give it like it just it says something about you we
gave it a section but it weren't even a good joke like It just It says something about you We gave it a section
But it weren't even a good joke
Like you just came in
And just started like
Yeah
Banter
Like
And your grandad's dead bruv
I never said nothing about skiing
We've recorded for an hour
And I didn't mention it once
Do you know what I mean?
Huh?
We've already recorded for an hour today
I didn't mention it once
Yeah
So you sit out of respect innit?
Exactly
You give it that hour
And then you're like
Do you know what?
You're a good person Yeah He did mention the skiing out of respect, innit? Exactly. You give it that hour and then you're like, do you know what? You're a good person.
Yeah,
he did mention the skiing
out of respect,
but that's not,
you know.
Wow.
It's one of them ones
where you celebrate,
not celebrate the dead,
but you celebrate their life.
Oh,
97.
He's had a result.
Died in his sleep.
Yeah,
that's the way.
Yeah,
but that's not a good way
to ski.
In your sleep.
Oh, are you laughing, Michelle!
Ah, Michelle's laughing.
That's the way to go.
At 97, just go for the kip and don't wake up.
Oh, I'm telling you right now.
If you could pick, that's what you'd pick.
No, I told you what mine is.
What would you pick?
Supermodel Avalanche.
What would you do, right?
You're 97.
You're not getting a hard on at 97
I don't need to
you're probably not
going to get a hard on
at 45
so get ready for that
but you're not
getting a hard on
you've just got
all of this fanny
flying towards you
what are you doing
just wishing
gasping for air
yeah
no
you get to put on
your headstone
died by pussy
that was too much
for this
you went no you know what you know what because I'm thinking like if I heard that someone died That was too much for this. You went, nope.
You know what?
You know what?
Because I'm thinking, like,
if I heard that someone died by a pussy,
I'd think in some, like, medieval way
that, like, they slept with someone
and it was, like, rotten.
And do you know what I mean?
Like, a couple hours after they're breaking out in a sweat
and they're like, I shouldn't have done that.
Well, how do you want to go?
Do you want to go in your sleep?
I wouldn't mind going in my sleep, actually.
Well, you know, like, how you always think, oh, I'm going to do the hard drugs? I wouldn't mind going in my sleep, actually. Well, you know how you always think,
oh, I'm going to do the hard drugs when I'm older.
Like, that's what...
You know what I mean?
Just like one last hurrah.
Get to 80 and do heroin.
Exactly.
100%.
I guess you do anyway, right?
If you've got cancer or something,
you end up on like morphine and...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Morphine's great as well.
In your sleep's good.
I think I just...
I want a spectacular death, me.
I want people talking about my death
for fucking
centuries to come
do you know what I mean
go on
well I haven't
talked it through Michelle
but like
maybe I'm on a motorbike
on fire
with two machine guns
like people are gonna
talk about that
how long are you
lasting on the motorbike
doesn't matter
doesn't matter
all I need is
one photograph
I'll bring Jack with me
be like
get ready
I thought you were doing
two grenades off
the lava buildings
or that
anything spectacular
he gets on the motorbike
machine goes
set me on fire
oh fuck
I've fallen off
on the side
dead burning
just didn't work out
you know what
you know what would be good right
you've got a terminal illness
you know you've only got like
a month left to live. Maybe a week.
Yeah? Maybe a week.
There's some kids drowning. Everyone's
like, ah! And you're like, da-da-da.
And you save them.
And then you get like a couple of minutes
of everyone just going, fucking!
You're just like, it's fine. Or you're knackered
because you've got a terminal illness and you just die with the kids.
Yeah, that would be pretty bad. But do you know what I mean? You already know you're going to die. You. Or you're knackered because you've got a terminal illness and you just die with the kids. Yeah, that would be pretty bad.
But do you know what I mean?
You already know you're going to die.
You already know you're going to die.
So you save them.
Terminally ill man drowns two children
in murder suicide.
Talked about for centuries to come.
Adam Rowe.
Yeah, you do something like that.
You like push it,
like push a kid out the way and jump in the way of the bus
the way you jump in the way
but
say you do something
right
yeah
yeah not just like you
he's just gonna fucking
sit on a bike
in flames
with two machine guns
in his
he's just shooting him
in the air
here's the thing
I don't
there's not many things
I believe Michelle
right
like spiritually
I haven't got like any, any hard-set beliefs,
but there is one thing I believe,
and I've said it on this podcast before,
and I will say it again.
You die twice.
You die when you die,
and you die the last time someone ever says,
you know, you mentioned you.
Isn't there, like, a Mexican...
Yeah.
Yeah, belief that's, like, that kind of...
Is it Cinco de Mayo?
Yeah, that's how you celebrate the Day of the Dead.
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah legit innit you know what I mean it's like culture no no no actually I don't know I don't believe
so if I'm the fucking
flamethrower machine gun man
on a motorbike
right
I'm gonna be
Cinco de Mayo
until the fucking
early 3000s
you know what I mean
but don't you want to make
what you do in your life
the thing that you remember for
not your dad
both
just cover all bases
you don't just need to do one
you know what I mean
like comedian
just keep putting specials out
people keep watching them
and also
it's like KC McColl
she's not remembered
for being a singer
she's remembered
for the speedboat
exactly
you don't remember for that
you don't remember
for the good shit
both
KC McColl was in the pokes
oh okay
she got hit by a speedboat
that's how she died
is it
I don't know why
she got hit by a speedboat
but yeah
she was saving her kids
on holiday
talking
yeah
like her kid
was in the water
she was trying to
save the drowning kids
did she
did she actually
save a kid
yeah
she saved her son
her own kid
yeah
she wasn't
seemingly alone
it was in
Mexico
Mexico
there you go
it was in Mexico
it all
connected
do you think
you'd get more props
after you're gone
for saving your own kid
or someone else's?
Someone else's.
Someone else's, isn't it?
That's heroic.
Like, there's an instinct
to save your own kid.
I've seen someone else's kid drown
and I'd be like,
fucking hell, nightmare that.
Is that?
Not really my...
Back of your phone.
This seems like a new problem.
Yeah, it seems like,
oh, this kid's drowned
or someone...
That's a good question, though.
Do you know if there was
a body of water
say like the doc
and you saw the child
and they're struggling
yeah
but there's nobody round
would you jump in
no
I'd ring someone
even if you could tell
like he had a minute or two
and it was like
of course you would
you would
you would
but you know
you would
you would
no
but you know
listen
I wouldn't video it.
No.
I wouldn't jump in because I don't like the water.
So I feel like I'd be more of an issue.
Yeah.
And I don't like kids drowning, but I really hate water more.
I guarantee you, I would jump in.
I'd immediately have a panic attack.
My shoulder would dislocate.
And then I'd just drown with the child.
Why are two families suffering?
I'm telling you right now,
that will get talked about for a while though.
Also, you do get more valour
for saving someone else's child.
Because if you save your own child,
there's also that extra layer of like,
well, you were responsible for the fucker,
so why is he in the water?
If it's just someone else's child,
that wasn't your...
Unless he's ran away from home.
Yeah.
You jump in.
Yeah.
Because I know someone loves that kid
as much as I love my kids
what are you doing
what's your plan
you say he was an absolute gobshite
and you die doing it
and you've let a gobshite live
and your children
are now fatherless
so if I jump in
and swim over
and he's like
oh yeah you're the fucking old cunt
who's not funny
I'll have a word
I'll be like
but what would your plan be though
what you're jumping in what do you you do just swim to it you do
you do that thing in it yeah right yeah well you do that around their neck and then you're like
when the world trade center was you know but got got attacked
right they they did some report after and they sort of broke it and they realized that people
go into like four sections right there's like four categories of people like some people were
willing to just like they just wanted to save themselves instinctively right they were just
like i'm gonna fucking step on your head to get down these they just wanted to save themselves instinctively, right? They were just like,
I'm going to fucking step on your head
to get down these stairs.
I'm going to save myself.
Then there's another group of people
that were like, let's brainstorm this
and try and see how we can troubleshoot this situation.
And not one of them survived.
Carry on.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Because they're having a team meeting.
They're getting a PowerPoint talk.
Hang on.
There's people that are frozen in fear right couldn't do anything just
frozen in fear and then there were people that wanted to help and they were like these weren't
really thought about this is just instinctively that you just fall into one of these categories
all right well adam's crowd surfing down the stairs That's not true. Everybody go surfing. That's not true. No, me shoulder might go, I've got to get down,
because if that, I'll have a panic attack.
Do you want to see this tower go down and me have a panic attack?
No, that's not true.
Do you know what I would do in that situation?
I know for the fuck what I'd do.
No, no, the thing is you don't know what you're doing.
That's the whole point.
No, I've been in similar situations.
Not the exact same.
You've been in a similar situation?
Ooh, ooh.
What?
Similar? Let's lower that word. Like when I've been in work- Ooh, ooh! Ooh! Ooh! What?
Similar.
Ooh.
Let's lower that word.
Like when I've been in like a work and the fire alarm's gone and you're like, right.
Yeah, that's 9-11.
Oh, oh, oh.
That's 9-11.
Oh.
And then you've got to have a cheeky cigarette outside.
That's the same.
It's 9-11.
Bro.
Smoking.
Oh, it's awful.
Here's what I would do.
I would, you know they're like-
You don't fucking know what you would do. Well, here's what I think I would do. Okay. Okay, here's what I think I would do. I would, you know, they're like, let's... You don't fucking know what you would do.
Well, here's what I think I would do.
Okay.
Okay, here's what I think I would do.
You know those people who are like, let's brainstorm a plan.
I would skip that step completely and I'd be like, right,
this is what we're doing and I'm doing it now.
Yeah.
So just follow me.
It's a lot of his tactics in life, to be honest.
I wouldn't be...
We're not discussing it.
I'm right.
You can all shut the fuck up and listen to me
because I know
how to get us out of here
that door there
just a fire alarm
I've got to calm down
oh god
do you know what I'd do
I'd save one person
who was less able than me
because you're able
to save one easy
and you've still been a hero
yeah
you've saved one
exactly
don't try and save everyone
because you can't
you can't
save one person exactly can't save one person
exactly
so you save one person
and then crowd surf
down the stairs
I can't save them
down the stairs
I'm surfing on them
sorry sorry sorry
I'm helping one
yeah you get one
old person or one
young person
you save one person
you can't save ten
but that's nicer
because your
your version is like
I'm gonna make an
announcement that we
should all be selfish
cunts
no we're not
selfish cunts no they shouldn't be selfish they've got to make an announcement that we should all be selfish cunts. No, we're not. There's the door.
Let's go.
No, they shouldn't be selfish cunts.
They've got to listen to me.
We shouldn't all be selfish cunts.
I want to get us out of here.
And I'm going to lead us.
I'm like a lion, Michelle.
I'm just a natural born leader.
Just fucking follow me. Is this the five lamb or 9-11?
Which one's this?
Lion's famously good in 9-11 situations.
Everyone's like, yeah, this isn't a war.
Where's it go, Adam?
No, no, no, no, lad.
We go through the kitchen. Follow me.
You would have
never listened to where the fire exits were if you
worked in the trade centre. Where's ours?
What? It's right there.
Where do we stand? I mean,
outside. Outside?
Yeah. You just follow
Adam, he'd be like, right, suck the fuck up!
Everyone, pick up an elderly person
and fucking run
I'll just get carried out
Carl
could you help me
I just
I can't be dealing with
like too many cooks
in a situation like that
it's just fucking
too many cooks
yeah
alright
like in the kitchen
same in the kitchen
yeah
if I'm in the kitchen cooking
right
let's say me and my missus
are cooking dinner
right
that's never a thing we're not cooking dinner either i'm cooking dinner and you can help
under very strict instructions or you're cooking dinner and i will help under your very strict
instructions but this team effort shite needs to go in the bin you need a boss you need a leader
you need someone to take charge of the whole system
and the other person's
there to listen
and do what they're
fucking told
you're my favourite
person to cook with
I'll be like
you take charge
no it's all on you
I'll do the cutting
I'll get the bin over
and push all the crumbs in
yeah exactly
you're welcome
you go in the toilet
I'll stay in it
but just never let him
take over a country
because it's going to
get pretty totalitarian
no
you listen to me
there's no fucking elections.
We're doing it this way.
I swear to God.
I think when it comes to country size,
you do need democracy.
But any other time,
anything smaller than a country,
you do just need a dictator.
It's just a better system.
Just shut up and listen to me.
Yeah.
But what if you're wrong?
Then it's egg on my face, isn't it?
Everyone's dead.
Egg on Adam's face.
You're never wrong.
Just, just...
You end up in Relate going,
no, it wasn't undercut.
Have I ever let you down?
Nope.
Look at us.
We're flying, okay?
We're flying.
Because we just do things.
Do you run things at home, Michelle?
Are you the boss at home?
Yeah, I live by myself.
You do and I'll help.
We're going to have a meeting.
Yeah, you know what?
Every day I get up and I'm like,
I'm the fucking boss.
Yeah, yeah.
I live on my own as well.
Do you?
You know, sometimes guests come round
and then they get given a job.
Is it?
Okay, cool.
This is your job.
Have you got pets?
No.
Oh, so it's just you?
It's just me.
Yeah.
Do you live in like insane cleanliness
or insane rubbishness?
You know what?
I go through moments.
Like it's mostly clean. Yeah, it's'll go through moments like it's mostly clean yeah it's
mostly clean but like it's not dirty but i say that i can say that there's no one here to tell
me that actually michelle you're a bit of a filthy cunt but it's mostly clean but sometimes i like to
like celebrate the fact that i can do what the fuck i want yeah just by letting everything going
yeah exactly exactly Putting clothes on
just so you can take them off
and throw them everywhere.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, but you have to pick them up.
You don't.
You pay Jackie.
She comes round and does it.
Oh, you put them in a bin bag.
Get rid of them all
and buy new clothes.
He's done that as well.
Are you a bed maker?
Do you make your bed?
Yes.
That is one thing I do
as soon as I get up.
I do that as well.
Are you a cushion on the bed?
Do you know what man i i okay
i think there's not many women out there who hasn't had a big fucking pillow moment all right
and now i've passed it and i have as many pillows as i need to sleep on and that is it yeah because
i've been i got lost in the fucking the pillows have had me in a chokehold yeah you know the whole
of the noughties it was just like pillows pillows pillows pillows oh dean on cushions yeah yeah it was too much man cushions
yeah themed cushions i got this from the i used to treat cushions like fridge magnets do you know
what i mean they won't stick to your things no no they fucking wouldn't but you know what i mean
like i'd go somewhere and be like oh that's a nice cushion yeah i'm gonna get that really yeah
no they all have to be
matching for me.
You know what I mean?
I have a lot of cushions
on my bed.
On your bed, do you?
How many?
So I have three on my side,
three on the other side.
No, they're pillows.
They're pillows
and then I have two cushions,
one on each side
and a third cushion
that's different
to the other two
in the middle.
That's a good format.
That's like the 4-4-2
of cushions, isn't it?
Really? that sounds like
really tacky
hotel vibe
that you've tried
to recreate
in your bedroom
it's that vibe
isn't it
no
is there anything
sat in in there
me and this
the couch
that was a very
hurtful thing to say
Jackie will be
really upset about that
there's no
crushed velvet
there isn't?
No.
All right, cool.
Is there?
What colourways are you going for in your house?
Grey.
Grey and blue.
Like cobalt.
Really?
Cobalt blue is a good colour.
I like Yves Klein.
Klein blue.
So it's like this artist called Yves Klein.
You know, like every now and again,
an artist is like,
I'm going to have my own colour and no one else can use it. Yeah. Klein blue is one's like this artist called Yves Klein you know like every now and again an artist is like I'm going to have my own colour
and no one else can use it
yeah
Klein blue is
one of my favourites
Klein's about like Calvin
do you know what
I'm dyslexic so
I've got Sensei Red
my red exists
as a colour
what you've named it
Sensei Red
yeah
the person who done my
graphics has made
Sensei Red
you just can't see it
really
yeah I can't see it
I'm colour blind though,
so red and green.
Won't even mess.
Why is it not tapping shit?
So you've gone in and gone,
this is exactly what I want.
They've matched your tone.
No, Alex just did it
and said this is Sensei red
and there's the hex.
Oh, that's a very good blue.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
It's fucking special.
I think the whole of like
Frida Cole's house
is painted in that colour.
It's royal blue blue Like a royal blue
No no
It's like
Almost like a
Ultraviolet blue
Did you say that
It's popping
It's popping isn't it
You can't have a whole room
In that can you
No you can't
But it's nice
I like a midnight blue
That's quite similar to our curtain
Up behind you
Kind of yeah
But if you like
Colbert blue
Then it's kind of similar
What have you got in
Colbert blue in your house?
Like, walls?
Just cushions?
Quilt cover.
Bedsheets.
The couch.
Everything.
The fridge.
The doors.
Me balaclava that I sleep in.
Me gloves.
I think he's a secret Everton fan.
Got fucking blue everywhere.
In the flat.
Now, I've got a few things.
A lot of dark grey dark grey though as well
okay
like charcoal
love of charcoal
just gives off
very masculine vibes
you know what I mean
when I was a single man
women would come round
and go fucking charcoal
he's a keeper
yeah
is that what they'd say out loud
yeah
charcoal and cobalt
where's the ring
I wasn't going to shag him
but look at all this
fucking charcoal
I'm in
if you've really got is that is this real you've been to his house I wasn't going to shag him, but look at all this fucking charcoal. I'm in.
If you've really got... Is this real?
You've been to his house?
Apartment?
Yeah.
I can't remember the charcoal.
It does ruin the fact that...
Because the apartment I'm in was furnished.
Yeah.
Like, a lot of the stuff I've added.
But, like, you know,
I have come for very masculine colours in cobalt and charcoal,
but then the headboards are all yellow.
Yeah.
That sounds like it goes together really nicely.
It does.
No, it does.
It does.
Yellow, blue and grey.
Yeah.
Nice.
Yeah, I know you're not picturing it right.
Wait, wait, wait.
What am I not picturing right?
You've got a yellow headboard.
I can just tell from your answer.
A yellow headboard.
You walked in that flat and he was like, wait. What am I not picturing right? You've got a yellow headboard, bro. I can just tell from your answer. A yellow headboard. You walked in that flat and you was like, yeah.
No, to be honest, I was in the middle of a mental breakdown
and I thought I just wanted to live in town for a bit.
So I just took the first one that anyone would give me.
That's beside the point.
No, no, no.
It's not beside the point
because you would need to be in a weird mental state
to see that and go, I'm fucking taking it.
That is actually...
It's a nice yellow though.
What kind of yellow?
It must tell from your attitude that you think it looks shit. Oh though and you're not picturing it it's mustard
that you think it looks shit
oh okay mustard
yeah
alright then
yeah that's alright
I don't mind that
a mustard headboard
yeah
right
I don't mind it
but you haven't really
matched the colours to it
but I do like it
is it a fabric headboard
yeah
it's a velour
kind of thing
yeah
oh is it
yeah
okay so there's the velvet.
Feels good. Yeah.
That sounds so weird by me.
Feels good.
Feels great.
My mates just spent
£1,600 on a mattress.
Just moved into a new gaff.
Yeah, Simba.
I got a Simba a couple of years ago and it was
too firm. That was because I
bought the firmest one they do and I wasn't happy.
Don't they do a 200-day back guarantee?
Yeah, yeah, but then...
You're 200 days back.
He's not sending that back.
Who's sending a mattress back?
It comes in a box.
You've got to try and get it back in a box.
See how comfy is my bed?
My bed is insane.
I have never spent that much on a mattress.
But spending on a mattress...
You can get dead nice ones for 300 quid.
It makes sense, though, doesn't it? Spending on a mattress. But spending on a mattress... You can get dead nice ones for 300 quid. It makes sense though, doesn't it?
Spending on a mattress.
Couch and mattress.
You should spend on.
You spend most of your time.
It's a 10 to 15 year investment.
I spent £1,400 on a mattress once.
And to be honest, the one that I had after,
it was like, remember when everyone's crazy about Tempur-Pedic?
Yeah.
I bought one when I was living in New York.
Super expensive.
And then after
that after a while it started to like hurt my back it sort of did too much do you know what i mean
and then i've got an ikea one after and i was like this is actually more comfortable how much
400 quid i think it's like 200 ikea ones are sick they are 300 quid memory foam ikea
hoxton hotels i want to find out whatever matches they have because that is the best night's sleep i ever have really we've got a super king as well so it's uh eight foot wide massive yeah i can't
i can't see it i can't see getting spending that much money on a on a mattress because it's the
thing aside from your couch is the thing you spend your most no i get it i'm not i'm not sleeping on
cardboard it's not like 1600 quid or i'm on a like a fucking concrete slab i get it i just think you
can get a decent uh mattress for 400 quid i just'm on a fucking concrete slab. I get it. I just think you can get a decent mattress
for 400 quid.
I just don't.
I just feel like it's...
I don't think you've tried it yet.
No, it's true, yeah.
What did you do with yours that was too hard?
Your 10, 15 year investment?
I just kept it until I moved out.
Yeah.
Good investment.
And left it in the house.
Why was you having a mental breakdown,
if you don't mind me asking?
Well, I went through a breakup
and I thought I was fine.
But as it turns out, I think I just, you know,
bought a Range Rover and moved into a 2,500-month apartment
within the space of two weeks.
So it was, you know, it was a fun breakdown, you know.
I could have been throwing my shit at the walls
and shouting at traffic, but I wasn't doing that.
No, I was the traffic in my Range Rover,
driving into my apartment,
bribing women to give me parking spaces.
It was a good time.
I had a really nice time.
Hang on, you're still driving the Range Rover
and you still live in the flat?
Yeah.
And you're still bribing people?
It's not a breakdown.
No, he's through the breakdown.
I mean, it can't be.
I signed a two-year lease on the apartment.
You can't just walk out on that then
and the car's going to take me five years to pay off.
The catalyst of all them things were the breakdown.
He's through it now and he's enjoying the
stuff
yeah
yeah but I think
that breakdown looks
like it's worked out
yeah totally
that's a good way
sometimes people
have a breakdown
and they do something
mental and then they
regret it
have to go back
yeah
you've made all of
that breakdown stick
yeah totally
and also he could
walk out on a two
year contract
he's definitely got it
in him
leave the lights on
wander off
100% Michelle we went to the States three weeks ago i was away for two weeks and
his heating was on the whole time oh my god do you know what i've been fucking talking about this man
because i left my heating on by mistake and i literally came home opened up the door it was
like when i was like because i haven't had my bill yet i was like i'm gonna have to suck off an old
man to pay for this like the fear was there do you know i mean my bill first so i'll let you know
exactly i left my heat you know and i'm ready for the nosh off if you were the on you have to
suck off ian
he's irish did you leave it on full blast so i haven't got what you would call central heating.
It's your radiators.
I've got a heated towel rails that essentially heat
up the whole. You mean you've got a
radiator, bruv? Radiators?
It's called a radiator. No, but they're like
they're vertical. It's a heated towel
rail in your bedroom.
Wait, if you can put a towel on
it, then it's a radiator
okay well we'll use
your word
all radiators
are towel
radiators
that's the word
it's a radiator
it's not my word
that's the word
where's your
towel rail
you made it sound
like the whole flat
got heated
from the bathroom
it does
what
it did
on a winter's day
if you're at the
other end of the flat
I haven't got any other radiators
there's one in each bathroom
so what the fuck
are you worried about then
who cares
you lift your heating on
in one room
two
you've got one radiator
for your whole place
two
one in the en-suite
one in the master
yeah also
it's all bills in innit
no
no I thought it was
a couple of months ago
I mentioned on this podcast
where I live
it's great
all your bills are included
and then I was walking
in the building
like a week later,
and I'm like, can I just have a wee bit, Adam?
One of the residents listens to your podcast
and has come in saying, why is Adam Rose getting all his bills included
and we're paying for ours?
So I just wanted to let you know, your bills aren't included.
You haven't paid any yet.
All right, cool.
Have you paid any yet?
Yeah.
Oh, that's going to be some expensive towel rails.
Thank you,
Pootie.
I'll just figure it off.
Did you like,
did you like New York?
Is that where you went?
We went to Nashville
and then Adam and Jack
went on to New York.
Yeah,
we went to Nashville
for 10,
10,
eight days.
Eight days in Nashville
and then they did four
in New York.
Really?
What did you eat
while you was there?
What was your favourite
meal in New York?
Do you know what?
It probably would have been Peter Luger's Steakhouse.
Yeah.
Really?
I was too hungover to enjoy it properly.
Okay.
Did you,
Peter Luger's right.
Did you have,
because they're like,
we can,
we do two sides.
One is chips.
The other one is raw onions and tomato.
Yeah.
The fuck is that about?
I didn't order that one okay cool
that's not a side because everyone goes crazy but they're like you and it is it is a great steak but
but as the size i've ever had the crust on it was i don't know it's amazing is it you as you eat it
you're like i'm gonna get gout like it is it's definite and i love it as well yes if it says
on the menu this comes with gout yeah sign'd be like, yeah, sign me up.
Yeah, it's good.
We literally just walked in and went,
can we have the biggest steak you do for us too?
And some chips.
And that was it.
It's amazing though.
That was before our flight home.
We did that and then went to the airport.
When you lived in New York, did you ever cook?
Did you ever make food home?
Or were you just eating out all the time?
No, man.
Also, the way your apartments are, it's like, it's not, it's not big enough to like cook
and like you've got a cooker, but you know, you're not using it at all.
And like, I can't cook anyway, but no, is the short answer.
Constantly eating out.
Always.
Cat's Deli for a big pastrami sandwich.
That's always like me first stop.
Cat's Deli?
Yeah.
Do you know that they um
sold the airspace above it for like millions of dollars did they yeah because they were like oh
we can build above this and that there was some big thing in the in like the press where it was
like they they sold the space above it for millions because they can't knock the building
down because they're sort of listed so they build sideways and over sort of i've seen i've seen a few pictures of buildings like that where it's basically like
that one's you can't touch it but you can sort of build side and above i don't know if it was
that i think it was like they they owned the actual space the cat's daily space they own that
and so these developers came in and were like how much and? And they were like, we're not selling it.
And they were like, but for above.
You know what I mean?
I think it was like that.
A lot of money.
Like it was just flat and it just built on top of the building.
Oh, right, right, right, right, right.
What was your go-to in New York when you lived there, food-wise?
Where was my go-to?
Yeah.
For food.
Do you ever go back?
Yeah.
Regularly?
Yeah.
Well, pandemic, no.
But yeah, I mean, I only moved back here in 2019.
But yeah, I'll go back.
The first couple of times we met, which was at Top Secret in London,
I was sort of introduced as, oh, that's Michelle from New York.
Yeah.
So I thought you were American.
Yeah.
Because when you're talking to each other in the basement at Top Secret
and there's loads of noise,
I just didn't pick up on your very obvious British accent.
Yeah.
And then I always thought
you were from New York
until like two years ago.
No, I would seem just like
a right dickhead
if he was just like,
she's only been here
a couple of months
fucking listening.
You all right, mate?
Yeah!
How long you been here?
Six months, brother!
Golden Diner was good as well.
That was it.
Is that what it's called Jack?
yeah where?
it's sort of
what's it called?
The Golden Diner
oh
what street's it on?
5th
the diners are just fucking amazing
like you've got all of that
on the
the menu's just like
got like a breakfast thing
and a brioche bun
but also a side of Korean chicken wings
at breakfast time yeah it's just oh it's legit you're not living this fucking shit you
know what okay this would be this would be my um oh by the way man that fucking um recommendation
that you gave me last time i was here i was amazing that food was out of town that italian
place fucking it's the best saying in saying but my go-to if i was in
new york would be i get up i go to any random deli and i get a bacon egg sausage and cheese
roll and i get a coffee and fuck it i'm on holiday i get a packet of cigarettes as well
and i just bosh them can you do that can you can you smoke a pack of cigarettes on holes
and then leave it no when you get home?
No, I always come back and then I'm smoking again.
But you know what I mean?
I delight in myself.
I'm like, ah, it's fine.
I just do it while I'm here.
And then six months later, I'm like,
yeah.
But no.
Have you ever smoked?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you smoke?
I used to.
You don't anymore?
Do you vape?
I do, do.
Oh, he vapes like watermelon sugar shit. anymore? Do you vape? I do, do. Oh, he vapes. Like watermelon sugar shit.
Watermelon sugar.
Vape.
I got hypnotized to get off the vape.
I got hypnotized twice.
What?
It was bad, man.
Hypnotized?
I think,
I've been hypnotized a few times for smoking,
but I think vaping is...
Awful.
I think it's worse than cigarettes
because you just do it all the time.
You just always fucking got it in your hand.
You put a lighter cigarette and put it out
and like there's a thing that you can just pick it up.
Well, okay, done.
Yeah, also you can do it in people's houses.
Like you would never smoke in someone's house,
but like I would be vaping.
Like I'd go into someone's house.
I wouldn't ask him, do you mind if I vape?
I'd just like maintain eye contact while they're chatting
and I'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And if they don't say anything,
I'm like, I'm fucking doing what I want.
Do you know what I mean?
What was your flavour?
I'd go cream tobacco, elf bar.
Yeah.
I've never had that flavour.
If you've had to be hypnotised multiple times,
surely it doesn't work.
Shut up.
The first one didn't work.
But you're off then.
So this one's worked.
For now, for now, for now, yeah.
Till you're on holiday.
Till I'm on, well, the last time I was,
I went to Dubai and you can smoke inside there
and I was just like, wait, what?
Cigarettes are well, they're just.
They're delicious, man.
Yeah, you can hate,
you can hate vapes and everything, fair enough.
But like the actual, the smell of it,
the fact that other people have to smell it
and that you fucking stink.
And your fingers, I hate it.
I hate it. Take my little sugary fucking candy vape like fine but don't but don't you just miss
like if you could that's what that's why dubai got me i was like i was inside i was visiting my
friend and she was just like oh can i get an ashtray and i was like what the fuck is going on
she's like yeah yeah you can smoke inside i was like I'll get the fag then it's fucking horrible over there
what
Dubai in general
I mean in general
yeah anyway
but like that's the
worst bit of it
every bar
is just everyone smoking
I love it
I was like
I'm back baby
I'm back
see I think
there's people who smoke
who are like
yeah yeah I smoke a bit
and then there's the people
who love smoking
like our Will
who's not here
today he's editing but like he's editing his grandad's ski footage who love smoking like our Will who's not here today
he's editing
but like
he's editing
his grandad's
ski footage

his coffin down
a slope
he's sick
but
okay I did the eagle
off he goes
wee

Ooh, Nightingale.
Bob the Blue.
Tits.
He's like an Eddie the Eagle.
Alright.
He did just die though today.
Today he died.
I don't...
What's his name?
Because I don't actually give a fuck.
I just want to do a joke.
It doesn't matter, does it?
It doesn't matter.
It kind of does.
Does it?
No, it doesn't massively.
I get what you mean.
He still loved his grandmother.
I love my grandmother.
He's dead as well.
Have at it.
Yeah.
Did he die this morning in his sleep?
No, he fell off a cathedral ceiling.
Michelle, in the first section,
it sounds like you have a lot of simple pleasures.
We will listen to our simple pleasures, everyday little things that so like you're smoking indoors
were you a dappy one uh no well if i was somewhere else i wouldn't smoke indoors in my own house no
i mean you're oh yeah yeah yeah that i mean that is that's beyond simple pleasure this is like a
unique bit of excitement that doesn't happen anymore do you know what i mean but um simple
all right do you know what actually and i i fucking wish i didn't but i'm a picker i'm a spot
picker and like that i feel like it's like mild scab off your arms mild self-harm do you know
what i mean like it because i'd like i've got like a magnifying glass and i just pummel the
fuck out of my face and just and it also like if i'm seeing
someone you know do you do theirs uh well you you gotta you gotta find your right time because you
don't want to seem but like there are people that i've dated and now i think about like i wonder how
their back's doing when i lie on the couch say like I'm little spoon she will just pull
my t-shirt off
exactly
and just go for it
yeah
do you have any
of the implements though
have you gone that far
bro I've got everything
you're crazy
listen
you'd think
you'd think I was
operating
I'm steaming
I'm sterilising
have you got the sucker
yeah I've got the
fucking
yeah
I've got the sucker
you know what I mean they're mad then yeah yeah Yeah I got the fucking, yeah I got the sucker.
You know what I mean?
They're mad then.
Yeah, yeah.
It's fucking amateurs.
I don't like doing it.
It knocks me sick a little bit.
Really?
Yeah.
And I'm not like Dr. Pimple Popper.
That's not me.
I'm not like sitting down watching,
but like definitely my own face.
I'm like picking things that aren't there
is it not just better to let it
like run its course with stuff like that
I don't know
it's self harm
I think
yeah exactly like I think
that I can I think I'm
fixing something I know it's not working
but there's something about it that calms
me down you know how people pull their eyebrows not working, but there's something about it that calms me down.
You know how people pull their eyebrows and stuff like that?
There's something about it that calms me down.
I know I'm fucking up my face.
Pull their eyebrows?
Yeah, you know how certain people pull their hairs out of their eyebrows?
Or bite their nails or something.
I bite my nails.
I've learned such self-control,
that I let them grow so they're quite long.
So then you can dine out.
Then I can fucking save and up. Itphone. So then you can dine out.
Then I can fucking save and up.
Right.
It's like I'm saving up
for nail night.
Yeah, exactly.
I know what you mean by that.
It was nail night
earlier this week,
and especially
if I'm pissed as well.
If I'm drunk and I'm like,
I see me nails,
I'm like,
oh,
that's so shitty.
You can't like,
open the can of it and stuff.
Yeah.
I don't like that.
Who gets pissed on a night out?
It's all over town.
Then goes, lovely.
Me.
Don't need takeaway.
Everyone's got something grotty in it that they do.
So that's me.
And yours is biting your nails.
What's yours?
I still pick my nose and eat it like a fucking child.
Do you?
Oh, I'm gross.
Do you know what's similar to eating boogies, though?
I used to, like, eat the burnt heads of matches.
It's got that same, like, grainy sorting.
Right, yeah.
Now, that did make you seem like a murderer, didn't it?
Is that a model thing?
What?
Is that because you were a model, weren't you?
Yeah.
No, mate, it's not a model thing.
We're about to go on the runway.
Wait, wait, wait.
Oh, you bought a whole box. No, it's not a model. You're trying to last all sitting back still. We're about to go on the runway. Wait, wait, wait. Oh, you bought a whole box.
Maybe some swans.
No, do you hear models
have like diets
that aren't healthy
to keep their figure?
Yeah, someone will eat sticks
in that country.
Like a box of mascaras for tea.
No, they just do coke.
What is this?
What?
You know, we eat sticks.
No, but there is some models
out there who are eating
fucking cheese and that.
Some of them eat cotton buds,
don't they,
to fill their stomach up?
Cotton buds? Yeah. Yeah, there was chat about cotton wool balls but i've never seen
the closest thing i used to see when i was modeling is like eating binging throwing up
that that that is probably closer to it or just starvation do you know what i mean just like you'd
see people and you're just like okay you're in deep like i was lucky when i was when i was modeling i was just naturally healthy skinny no skinny do you know what i mean yeah but
you were healthy with it you weren't like punishing your body i weren't i didn't have a good diet she
was eating matches yeah yeah munching matches um yeah but uh i've never seen anyone eat a cotton
ball right do you know ever so it's just
like a myth i just feel like yeah it's like some urban legend thing like i would joke about it but
i'm like i've never actually seen it with my own eyes i've seen girls hoover up mountains of cocaine
that helps you with your appetite do you know what i mean i've seen just blatant starvation
or if you'd see back then you'd see someone like eating loads of food and you're like and then
they'd go toilet and you're like you're gonna go throw all of that up with them with the coke is it it just an
accepted thing like a fashion show if you're on a shoot is there just some coke on the side
or is it hidden no not not now definitely i don't think now but like back then it was
it's not even necessarily that there were certain pockets where you could do it.
Like, especially if it was the shows.
I remember I always had an agent when I first started.
I didn't, I was like just a weed smoker then.
And she'd, I'd go to Paris and she'd go,
if you want to party, come to mine.
And I didn't understand the coding.
I was just like, no, I don't want to fucking party.
I was like, party?
I was like, no.
The gin and tonic.
That's the puzzle.
It's a well-known euphemism for cocaine now.
Yeah. I've picked that up over the years kids party that's not it's a different euphemism yeah yeah yeah yeah just to let you know if you
get a party invite like in that seven it's probably going to be a party you pick your
nose and eat it do you do you try and like are you because i've got a friend who picks his nose
and eats it and i can watch him out the corner of my eye and he'll pick his nose
and then he tries to like
and I'm like
I fucking know what you're doing
oh yeah I do that
if I'm ever going to eat it
I try and play it off
so I'll just be like
yeah no no
there's nothing in my hand
no no
I'm just picking my tooth
oh bogey
don't say that
give it away
not wet bogeys
dry bogeys right
this is why I'm saying
burnt match edge
you're not doing like
a sloppy wet bogey I saw bogeys, right? This is why I'm saying burnt match heads. You're not doing like a sloppy wet bogey.
I saw someone sniff the fingers the other day.
It was the most like in a dressing room.
Someone, I don't know how long,
I didn't see the scratch.
I didn't see the itch.
I don't know where that finger had been,
but I just saw a, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
You've had a fucking little rummage.
And then in your head, you're like, don't smell it, don't smell it.
Is there a female version of that?
You just go like that, yeah.
Well, actually, to this, well, most of the time,
if I go to the toilet, I sniff the gusset of my knickers.
I've got to press a button.
I don't know which one it is.
I'm just deciding.
It's this one.
Mama like that.
Because imagine it.
Mama like that.
You pull your knickers down and they're right there.
And you're weeing.
I just go.
Oh!
Why wouldn't you?
Oh!
Why wouldn't you?
Oh, Michelle!
Why wouldn't you?
I'm so appalled.
I'm turned on.
Puff!
You eat your fucking boogies!
Do you know what I mean?
Sniff your knickers!
Bro, you wouldn't!
You wouldn't!
Boys don't have the underpants around their knees.
Well you're not sitting down and going toilet,
you probably are, you bitch.
I am.
We do poos.
Do you know what I mean?
Most people.
She's got it too.
We do poos.
What?
We do a poo.
Yeah but it's not the same because you're wearing
boxer shorts right
yeah but they're round
by our ankles as well
yeah but if you had
like a leaky lady hole
do you know what I mean
you'd have a sniff as well
you just want to know
what's cracking
yeah but like my gooch
probably leaks just as much
as your vagina
yeah but we know
what comes out of there
there's no surprises
it's like your arse
smells of fucking shit
do you know what I mean
is the surprises
coming out of your
kinder egg
no but it's just
it's a delicate ecosystem
I love how little Michelle gives a but it's just a delicate ecosystem.
I love how little Michelle gives a fuck.
It's so good.
So soothing.
Are you ever
disgusted in yourself?
Yeah, come on.
Oh, yeah.

I use that on my day.
Yeah, femme fresh is great.
I love nicking

Just a good...
I use it as shower gel.
What, for your whole body?

yeah but it's just like
it's your girl's
it's your girl's
intimate wash
and you're just using it
on your whole body
yeah

It's my house.
In his defence,

His ride on Norma.
That's not a euphemism.
Oh, okay.
That's all right then.
She's allowed to have a go
around the garden.
How often does she...
Does she know you use it
or is she like,
shit, I've got a piece of money?
Yeah, do you know what I mean?
I've had to change this all the time.
Well, she'd know now

Put them all together, you can go out with a boss morning.
And some nails.
Yeah.
I've had them the night before.
Nom, nom, nom.
Wait, is that it then?
You bite your nails, you pick your...
And also, you didn't say, is it a wet bogey or is it a dry bogey?
Because that makes a big difference.
Oh, succulente.
Yeah, I don't give a shit.
I'm not...
Really?
Yeah, it's organic produce.
I scratch me gooch as well.
Everyone does, mate.
Do you scratch your arse?

of truth.
Walk all the way to Anfield and then not watch the match.
You know what I mean?
Oh, fuck. It's about to kick off. Get me a pint. Gooch Anfield and then not watch the match. You know what I mean? Oh fuck, it's about to kick off.
Get me a pint.
You should go to Anfield.
That's dirty.
So your simple pleasure was?
Picking spots.
Picking spots.
Yeah.
I think that's going to be a common one as well.
Picking spots that aren't there really. Yeah, that's what I be a common one as well picking spots that like aren't there
really yeah that's what i'd say picking a scab picking a scab where are you getting scabs from
as an adult um i drink a lot and fall over on his knees oh how did you get that though from
i drank a lot and fell over fell down we fell on concrete stairs and i'm pissed on my girlfriend's window simple pleasure
really
and
oh yeah
and
and
oh no
and
I don't think
she'd let me tell that one
okay
just know it was
worse
there was layers
so just think
he pissed on the window ledge
what's worse
I didn't do that
but there's also a layer of that he made that worse as well and shit on the window ledge. What's worse? Adam did that. But there's also a layer of that.
He made that worse as well.
I didn't shit on the window ledge right away.
No, you shit.
It was worse.
Is this from inside or outside?
I was stood in her bedroom.
Thank God.
Because the idea of her waking up and you're just outside.
The window cleaner's here.
I'm not cleaning it.
It's not on the first floor
is it
no I've just like
I was in her bed
so she's on that side
and the window's there
and instead of getting up
and going to the toilet
I've just got up
grabbed the microphone
Adam's
that's alright
I've had the situation
not quite like that
but similar
it's fine
what's happened
I went
I attempted to have
like a one night stand.
I'd taken,
but first of all,
it was my friend's birthday earlier on in the day.
And I,
and she grew up kind of religious.
So she hadn't had like a proper birthday growing up.
So I was like,
I'm going to do you a cake and all of this stuff.
So I bought all these like veggies and dips and whatever.
We're drinking.
We take some MDMA.
We go out to the party.
It was me,
my girlfriend and our mutual guy friends. You bought MDMA we go out to the party it was me my girlfriend and our
mutual guy for a woman who'd never had a cake
fucking baby steps
some poor quaker girl
I got her a cake as well so anyway we're out we're all having a good time
I'd like lost my door keys
or whatever
so I was like
oh we're going back to your house
and at that moment
I realised that
my girlfriend
and my guy friend
were actually fucking
because they were like
no we're going back together
so I was like
alright
because I was on MDMA
I was chatting to this guy
and I was like
I'm just going to go back
to his house
anyway
went back to his house
and I'm like
straddling him
and I'm like kissing him
and I come up
and I was like I feel really hot and then I went down to kiss him again and i'm like straddling him and i'm like kissing him and i come up and i was like i feel
really hot and then i went down to kiss him again and i was like oh my god and i there was a window
next to the bed so i just pulled up the window chucked up out of it and obviously after that i
was like okay no sex he leaves in the morning right i wake up when you're in his house yeah and he left yeah he left to go to work all right okay
i thought you'd like you're out the window and gone and by the way he means but i woke up in
the morning and the sick had um because it was winter the sick that i'd done on the window so
after eating all those veggie dips and hummus and stuff had like expanded like a giant cabbage and
sort of like free insulation in, and it cost 11 cases,
who's complaining there?
Yeah, it's like expanded and I was like,
I've got to get it off.
So I thought I sort of went, shimmied it open
and tried to like melt the big cabbage head of sick off.
And while I was doing that,
cause it was a studio apartment,
some dude just sat up on the sofa and was like, you all right i was like what the fuck is going on and he'd been there all
night watching the whole thing i didn't realize someone was sleeping on the sofa anyway it's all
very embarrassing but um yeah don't worry about it can we have a break immediately please i think
that counts as pretty rude doesn't it oh, I didn't tell you about Nigel.

and you're one of the family.
As soon as you come on
and you smash it,
they'll take you in.
I should have come here,
I should have come here
before I went on tour.
I think we tried to, innit?
Yeah.
Fucking train strikes
or some shit.
And you didn't record your tour
as a special?
No, I didn't. But to be honest i'm gonna go i'm i like it was my first time touring around the
country and i was like okay by the time i get back to london i was like i really want to make
sure that it's like nicely tight and so this i'm not done with this hour do you know what i mean
i'll i'm writing a show at the moment so I'm in the middle of like a pretty heavy writing schedule.
But when I finish with that,
I'll take this hour on tour again for sure.
Sweet.
Are you writing a TV show?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm writing a show for BBC two
that come out this time next year.
What's it?
Any details you wanna drop or can you not?
Is it about your life yeah kind of like loosely based about you know a sort of aged an aged model comes back to like london and she's basically like homeless but she's trying to front like
she isn't do you know what i mean so she's got like keeping up appearances kind of thing going on but but like better yeah
nice is there is the puking out the window story in it fucking no and also morning
yeah no no no that's not in there um should we do some underrated overrated yes hit the jingle
hit the jingle this is just a thing where we say a thing
and you say, that's overrated or that's underrated
or that's just great.
All right, cool.
Could be anything.
So the first one we've got is Primark.
It's fucking overrated.
It's a shit shop, isn't it, where you go when you're skinned
and you need cheap stuff?
It's good for socks.
I think if you're skin you skin it's pretty good
rated
yeah but everyone
rates it
you don't need to
over it
like oh do you know
what people don't
give enough time
and attention to
Primark
it's like
yeah
everyone loves it
so overrated
but is it
as good as people
say it is
that's what we're saying
it's as cheap
as people say it is
yeah
do you know what I mean
yeah
and like you go in there
you're gonna go in there you're gonna find something and you're gonna go that's a fucking
bargain and you're gonna leave with it and then it's gonna disintegrate as soon as the air touches
one wash and it's done one wash my friend and it is done t-shirts are finished after the walk like
if you want like a throwaway t-shirt for whatever reason it's good or if you want 20 t-shirts for
Sensei Carl's
chaotic quiz
that looked mental
when I was buying
10 orange t-shirts
and 10 purple ones
different sizes
but yeah
also the queue
in Primark
is never not
like
it's never not
stressful
yeah it's 40 people
yeah
yeah
40 pissed off people
but they're quick I will give them that like the till people yeah it's 40 people, minimum. Yeah, yeah. 40 pissed off people. But they're quick, I will give them that.
Like the till people.
Yeah.
It's like fucking supermarket sweep for them.
Yeah.
It's like they're all on a challenge.
They're like, fuck, do you want a bag?
No, where's your clothes?
Fuck off, next.
Yeah, no, they're good.
They're good.
They don't even charge.
They could do sort of those car, like,
the paper bag bags and shit.
They're poo.
People are buying 40 quid of clothes at a time,
which is like 80 fucking items.
They're trying to protect the environment, you pair of heathens.
They're also selling 40p jeans.
What?
They're selling jeans for 40 pence.
They get thrown in a landfill.
No, but I mean, like,
they're not trying to save a da-da, are they?
Yeah.
Everything helps.
I never leave there.
I never leave there happy.
No?
I'm never like, fucking yeah, I'll just leave there. And never leave there happy. No? I'm never like,
fucking yeah,
I'll just leave there.
And I'm like,
thank God I've made it out.
Can you name a shop for me
where you do leave thinking,
fucking yeah.
TK Maxx.
Okay.
And that's why I was asking you earlier.
I said,
what time do you want to start?
Because I was like,
I'm going to go in TK Maxx,
go and have a little meet you around the gold label,
try and get some bargains.
Similar jumble sale vibe though,
isn't it?
TK Maxx.
Similar. Better clothes you think? Yes. Well, well tk max's brands that have been like so it's like a it's like a
um outlet store for every brand in it yeah yeah i so my idea of hell like if i get to hell
it's uh like the devil will go here's a phone and there's a pile of uh virgin tv contracts
and you've got to call virgin
and cancel all of them one by one that would be however i would i would never a close second
would be go and find an item of clothing that fits you and you like from tk maxx
yeah i found shorts in there in glasgow once and they were like extra small
or like 4xl I hate it so much.
So where do you go
and get your clothes then?
Like shops where like
you walk in
and they go,
right,
you see that jacket
you've got in the window?
Have you got that in every size?
Yeah,
can I try the large
and the extra large?
Cool,
take the large.
Like Zara.
Okay.
Zara's solid, isn't it?
Take him actually go
and you go,
I'll find these shorts.
They're like the perfect ones
that I'm after.
Have you got these in my size?
No.
Yeah.
But we have got them to fit
either a baby
or Rick Waller.
So,
which ones do you want?
All right.
So when I go there,
I'm going specifically
to the gold label.
So that is a,
that is like a smaller
bit of,
you know,
things that you can pick from.
Don't they have the mod shop as well?
I don't know.
TK Maxx have got like a,
like the cooler clothes. Haven't't they they do it like a section called the mod shop i know they organize
the shoes in order of size rather than fashion i like design which is the most insane thing ever
what that's great man i just want to see what's available i don't want to see a pair of shoes
and then be like oh it doesn't fit although i don't really buy shoes from TK Maxx, but whatever.
I don't either. I mean, come on.
It's not the most insane thing ever. No.
Like, I get what you mean. It might be not.
But like, it does sort of. I think that works for their
shop. If you want a size 8,
you can see them all. Aesthetically, it's ordinary.
Yeah, it's a jumble, sir.
I'm underwhelmed by the suggestion
of Primark in this section.
So it's overrated.
What's your idea of hell then?
Adam said there's an unending contract.
Probably the same, man,
because Carphone Warehouse keep on calling me and saying,
you're ready for an upgrade.
And I'm like, I don't care.
I would rather keep the phone that I've got
so I don't have to fucking talk to you.
Which is an iPhone 5C.
Put them on a 12.
It's not bad, isn't it?
Yeah, I'm just like, I don't care
because I just don't
want to do the admin
yeah
admin
my idea of hell
is watching a romantic
period drama
on repeat
forever
dear John
no
is that period
period drama
where nothing happens
and I'm like
I fancy him
oh you can't
he's skimmed
yeah
although that's alright
actually
on your couch
no just having to sit
and watch it
just put me on a chair
and I've got to watch
period dramas on repeat
oh my god
like Downton Abbey
like
is that worse than musicals
yeah
he's never seen a musical
I have
I've been to
Broadway in New York
I've seen Phantom of the Opera
I've seen School of Rock
I've seen
other things
I haven't seen the garbage
you like
Dean Evan Hansen, shite.
Fucking sick.
All this, you know.
Waving through the window.
But certain much opinion dramas
where nothing happens,
they're just like,
oh, I love him.
Well, I can't love him
because he comes from a family
I'm not allowed to love.
He's written a letter.
Yeah.
Oh, read it out, read it.
Quite like him.
Finn?
Another overrated, underrated,
full English breakfast.
Underrated. Yeah. It's just... Because some people are just like, quite like him Finn another overrated underrated full English breakfast underrated yeah
it's just
because some people
are just like
oh breakfast food
shit
it's not
it is a perfect meal
to start your day
got a good amount
of like meat
the more bacon
the better
one or two sausages
is fine
two eggs
ash brown
black pudding
beans
in their own little...
Ramekin.
Well done.
Is that you?
Is that you?
That's better.
Yeah, but if the beans
are in a ramekin,
if I went into a caf
and the beans were in a ramekin,
I would question
the authenticity
of that greasy spoon.
No.
Right, because beans in ramekins
is also cherry tomatoes
still on the vine.
That's not giving me
proper good English breakfast.
Yeah, you can shove them
right up your arse
you know what I mean
I don't want the tomatoes at all
to be honest with you
but then
oh because all tomatoes
are heavy
I don't like tomatoes
but beans in a ramekin
you're not getting
a decent English breakfast
you are
beans in a ramekin
is just
that's like
beans in a ramekin
sounds like a fucking
great album
it's just
beans in a ramekin
I understand what you're saying I I understand what you're saying.
I do understand what you're saying.
I don't like that hand.
That hand's like, but go fuck yourself.
Yeah, well, I do want you to go fuck yourself because I will take beans in a ramekin
over the possibility of the beans touching me.
All right, all right.
What's a fucking ramekin?
Hold on, hold on.
It's a little bowl.
A little bowl?
The little glass things.
You know, like those like goop desserts come in.
Oh,
there's ramekin.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
We've got loads of ramekins.
Do you sound like someone
who eats one thing at a time
in their meal?
Because otherwise
you'd be fine.
Are you putting a bit of everything
on your fork
at the same time?
What?
Like a pedophile?
No.
They're lizards.
There you go.
There you fucking go so
you're eating the beans at once and then you're eating the bacon a bit of sausage beans i'll have
a fork full of beans and i'll eat them and then i'll have a bit of sausage yes off whoa that's
the right way to do it dude what i'll have an are you the person who squashes it on one fork
what are we doing no that makes i'll put i'll make a little Bacon butty With me toast
I'll put me bacon
On me toast
And make a little
Bacon butty
And have that
And I'll dip that
In me egg
Little tiny meals
In one meal
Why do you think
They put it all together?
Just have a bacon butty
All in ramekins
No you need a fucking
Blender
That's what you're after
You might as well
Fucking just neck it
Is everything in a ramekin?
I won't eat bacon
In a ramekin No you have little bits My napkins in a ramekin? I won't eat bacon in a ramekin.
No, you have little bits. My napkin's in a ramekin.
You save your favourite things and near the end,
so you're happy about it at the end.
How is your mouth dealing with the texture mixture
of mushrooms and sausage on the same fork?
What are you talking about?
Why would I order the meal
if I wasn't going to put it in my mouth at the same time?
Because you don't have to put it in your mouth at the same time. Because you don't have to put it in your mouth
at the same time.
You're a fucking idiot.
That's what I think.
Do you put chips on your pizza?
No.
Why?
This is not the same meal.
Don't try to swing the pendulum too far mate.
Chips on my pizza.
No, who's having chips on their pizza?
Well you put all your meals together
in one big bite don't you?
So have you had pizza and chips?
I wouldn't have pizza and chips
because I'm not a fucking tramp.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, those are two separate meals.
But what I'm talking about is the...
Wait, does everyone in this room do that?
You're staying quiet.
What about you?
He doesn't eat.
I don't trust ramekins.
And I've just decided.
But what about the fire?
Do you eat one thing at a time?
No, I'm not...
Do you eat a burger
and then go,
I'll finish my burger now.
Now I'm going to have the chips.
I mean, I think we're describing autism, aren't we?
Can we stop for a sec?
It's a bit spectrum-y to me.
Burger and chips is a perfect example
because pizza and chips, I understand.
No, can we stop talking about pizza and chips?
I don't know what you lot fucking do in Liverpool,
but this is savage.
We can, listen.
Let's not, I want to take this off the table as an example
and now move to burger and chips. Burger and chips, right. So you've got a burger and chips. Take this off the table as an example and now move to burger and chips.
Burger and chips, right.
So you've got a burger and chips as your meal.
Yeah.
Are you telling me that you put chips in your mouth
at the same time as the burger?
No, you know why?
Because I'm a fucking lady, all right?
I'm not like...
Yeah, so you have them separately?
And then I'll go...
And that's what I do with me breakfast.
Oh, so you have burger in your mouth
and go, chips as well?
Yeah.
Wow.
No.
Michelle, get off this hill because you are going to die on it.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It is psychopath behavior.
No.
You lot are on a little shitty hill together and I'm on a mountain with the rest of society.
No.
No, no, no.
You are on Michelle eats burgers like a twat mountain.
All on your own.
I'm telling you right now no one in the history of
food has ever took a bite of their burger kept it in their mouth and added chips to it you are on
your own hey do you know what i'm not fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you
you lot are fucking idiots adam deals only in in absolutes. Of course. Why is it absolute fucking twat?
Because that is a shitty suggestion.
You take a burger,
you're chewing it,
you're throwing a chip.
Also, I don't care.
You lot fucking put chips on your pizza.
That's right.
No, we don't.
I was asking you.
No, we don't do that.
That's what we were saying.
You don't do that.
Because you would never do that.
Because you eat chips and pizza together.
At the same time.
Who doesn't have a side of chips?
Chips improve every cuisine as a side.
Can I ask one?
Anyway, underrated.
Next.
Can I just ask?
Because I'm kind of in the middle of either of you.
Just come over here.
Stop fucking sucking up to these knob cheeses.
Some meals are separate.
But, for example, sausage and mash,
you have them on the same fork.
Obviously.
That's because you get the sausage and get a bit of mash.
Oh, don't prove me wrong.
I'm just saying that there are examples
where the stuff is meant to go together.
Examples, examples.
It's on your side.
What are you on about?
I'm sticking up for you.
No one's eating sausages and then eating the mash.
Michelle's just come for more.
No, I'm not.
Finn's like, you got a good point there.
She's like, no, I haven't.
Fucking shut up.
No, but that's not a good example because everyone's eating sausage. It's like, you got a good point there. She's like, no, I haven't. Fucking shut up. No, but that's not a good example
because everyone's eating sausage.
It's just, you know what I mean?
Fish and chips.
Bit of fish, bit of chip.
No, I have a bit of the thing on the plate
and then the other thing on the plate
and then I'll alternate.
Sometimes I eat like six chips,
a bit of fish, loads of fish.
I'll mix it up
and then I'll finish them all together.
Listen, I appreciate what you were saying.
Thank you.
I'm not saying that I'm not in need of an ally,
but I would just like a better example.
Okay, roast dinner.
Roast dinner.
Thank you.
You've got a bit of everything.
A bit of everything on a roast dinner.
Thank you.
See, that's what I'm saying.
Absolutely not.
Before we move on to a roast dinner,
and yous are already wrong
before we even started talking about it,
here's why the mash thing is the exception
or part of an exception yeah and
with fish and chips there's the same exception because like if i have fish and chips i'll also
have mushy peas with it okay and mushy peas i would have with either a bit of fish or the chips
because it's runny and the mash is like runny you can mix stuff that's runnier than what you've got
with the stuff right Right. Like beans?
You don't have fish and chips.
You don't have a bit of fish and chip together.
You have a bit of fish, you eat it. I think Dan was saying he does.
Is that what you were saying?
I mean, it's not unheard of
that you are munching on a bit of burger
and then you get a few fries in as well.
Thank you.
I mean, is that...
Oh my God.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh my God.
He's like, how could you?
You've never said that in three years.
Roast dinner dinner surely you mix
some stuff up
like
like
I know this is probably
a weird example
to the nth degree
of what you were saying
roast dinner
by the end of the meal
I will have
a tiny bit of
all my favourite things
and they are ready
for the last bite
I'll have a
a spud
and then I'll have
a bit of me meat
and then I'll have me
but then
but then
but then a bit of a roast I'll have a bit of me meat and then I'll have me... But then a bit of a roast potato
with a bit of meat is like a chicken...
No, I just don't do that.
I want to enjoy the spud.
Oh, I did that with your Christmas roast.
I had a little bit of...
Do you know what?
This is actually blowing my mind
because I thought that people
that only eat one thing at a time
were like in a really small minority
and I'm just not
I'm not sure that
all of that minority
is in this room
like
do you know what I mean
I'm just like
what the fuck
oh we agreed though
that if you eat
everything individually
in order
that is full on
spectrum stuff
that's awesome yeah
yeah yeah
either side while I'm eating
that fish was nice
I better chip after that
I'll be good
oh them chips are great
I'll have five chips.
Right, Adam's fucking counting the beans.
He's like, one, two, three.
No, man.
I'll do a fork full of beans
and I'll be like,
right, a bit of me sausage.
Oh, that was nice.
Bit of me egg.
Do you know what?
Bit more egg, actually.
I'll double up on me egg.
You might finish the egg.
Yeah.
And then just throw the ramekin.
Wow.
I honestly have never... Ramekin's the greatest thing to happen to the English breakfast, I've never,
the greatest things happen to the English breakfast.
I've never heard anyone talk so passionately about something that I could give less of a fuck about.
Yeah.
It's an amazing few moments.
I am.
I am going to say though,
I would like,
I think if you're having an English breakfast and there's a ramekin there,
you're eating at the wrong place.
I'm not,
that's more brunch vibes.
That's it.
Okay.
What do you mean?
Whatever. I understand., that's more brunch vibes. That's it. Okay, what do you mean? Whatever.
I understand.
As an olive branch,
I understand your...
As an olive branch?
I don't fucking want it.
I don't care.
You're wrong.
Do you know what I mean?
She chops down the olive branch.
As an olive branch.
Oh, thank you.
Ah.
What's next?
You never mentioned it.
Sorry, everyone
who was waiting for that.
Should we just have
a little middle ground here?
Absolutely fucking not
It's an argument
Me too
Right
Should we do some advice?
Yeah
We've got to wrap it up
Oh
Do you want to have a word then?
No do the advice
Fuck the have a words
Do the advice
Okay
Are we having the jingle
or are we just going for it?
Can I say it in Fede?
Start off then Here to help I'll solve your problem Oh not start singing Can I say it in Fade? Start, Finn
Here to help
I'll solve your problem
Oh, not start singing
I think the producer told me to fade it
Right, okay
So
Dan
Go on, Finn
This is from
Agony Adam
This is from Rees Mulkerrin
Wag wag boys
Hopefully this is the right email
Otherwise I'm fucked
Sure
Basically
I've always told my missus
how strongly I feel about things
that are unattractive to me,
such as short hair on girls,
piercings, et cetera.
She's now contemplating the idea
of an eyebrow piercing,
the kind of one that 14-year-old boys get.
If she actually does it
and I don't find her attractive anymore,
do I tell her before or after?
Love the pod.
How can you tell her before
if you don't know what it's going to look like yet?
Hasn't he already told her before by saying he doesn't like him?
Yeah, but if she goes through with it,
is that a blatant disrespect?
You know this?
You lived this situation.
You literally lived this situation.
I did live this situation.
So Finn's ex-girlfriend knew he was allergic to cats
and bought 12 cats.
Right, that's why she's your ex-girlfriend.
And this is the thing.
When we do that, what we're doing,
it's just a little test.
We're not actually going to go and get our eyebrow pierced
unless your ex-girlfriend, she was like,
I'm really going to fuck him off.
Do you know what I mean?
It's just a little test thing.
She's not actually going to go and do it.
What she's doing is she just wants you to tell her
that you love her regardless
and it doesn't matter what she does.
That's it. And if she does it... See, women love being regardless and it doesn't matter what she does. That's it.
And if she does it,
if she gets the piercing,
she actually wants
to fuck him off.
Yeah, but she's
a fully grown adult.
Who's getting an eyebrow piercing
as an adult?
Also, can I have a ruling
on the girls with short hair?
Because I think it looks great.
It depends on the face.
I suppose so, yeah,
a little bit.
But I've never,
I quite like short hair. Don't think it's a bad thing. It very much depends on the face I suppose so yeah a little bit but I've never I quite like short hair
don't think it's a bad thing
it very much depends
on the face
that guy's dead against it
if a girl can pull it off
it looks incredible
but if they can't
it doesn't
he's got nothing
to worry about
she's not gonna
she's just testing him
she's like
mum I'm thinking about it
how do you feel
if I got a neck tattoo
do you know what I mean
and then he's just
gotta go
I'd love you regardless
look out for that face
that face is a giveaway
if she does that face
Michelle are there any
like red flags with you
when you see someone
you like them
like facial tattoo
eyebrow piercing
I mean a facial tattoo
would be
nose piercing
tongue split
do you know
to be honest
I'm like
what would it be
maybe
maybe a man bun that would probably do it but I'd do you know what I mean honest, I'm like, what would it be? Maybe a man bun?
That would probably do it.
But do you know what I mean?
If the person was cool, nah.
Do you know what I mean?
Even if a teardrop?
Yeah, no, that's hot.
No.
I believe that.
Yeah, no, probably more clothes, to be honest.
What about the tattoo of another woman's name from his past?
Well, it happens, doesn't it? On it on his cock well how long's their name that could be exciting well it's alex and he
gets hard on it's alexander yeah whatever man do you know what i mean like everyone's had a life
innit i went out with a guy who had some really bad like 90s tattoo that was kind of hard to
that's kind of hard actually boys on his forehead yeah exactly but no no no no
nothing like that
I saw him till he started dating
hiya love
you alright?
yeah yeah
no I'm warm
question
do you remember Euro 96?
because I enjoyed that tournament
quite a lot
it's Euro 96
it's Gaza Crown
no it's the actual emblem
the official
fucking
you wait for
emblem
it's Galion
I can do it
I don't know
if I've got
a particular
red flag
that would
Carl's got a
fucking
long list
have I
I feel like
you're quite
pernickety
I think if a woman
got her pussy
I was in the restaurants
on a first date,
that might put me off.
Right?
Yeah.
She was just like,
hey, I'll look at that.
I'd be like, do you know what?
You're a bit too far.
Can we get the bill, please?
Yeah, maybe, yeah.
No, I haven't got any.
It's not, like, behaviour stuff.
Yeah, loads of behaviour stuff.
But if we're talking about, like, physicalities.
Piercings or hair.
No.
You just said clothes.
How important is that?
No, I'm saying maybe, but how important is that like no I'm saying
I'm saying maybe
but it's not
like I'm saying
if it was anything
it would probably be clothes
because that's something
you can't
like it's not like
things that you can
actually help
you know what I mean
so what's
like if he turns up
in a top hat
is that a no-go
I mean
yeah
to be honest
that would be a no-go
yeah
nobody's gonna Rolls Royce
and he's dressed in like
top hat and tails
yeah
he's like let's go to the
ball
yeah
then I'd probably be like
fucking hell this guy's a bit eccentric
I'm going to the ball
let's see what's cracking
but then
when he gets to the ball
he just meant a Tottenham game
yeah
I don't know
what else
oh Dan
Dan
what a fitting tribute this episode has been to my late
grandfather thanks for coming in michelle good um you know what it's been an absolute pleasure
and i'm happy that i could like remind you that this is actually no joking matter about your
granddad yeah it's fun it's fun it's like when you're trying to make light of grief grieving
it's great for someone you don't seem like you're grieving though you're just here for the bands do you know what i mean yeah this isn't the wake though is it
i kind of get what you mean but we are on an episode of have a word and if i don't turn up
if i imagine these fucking animals if i came and go guys could we just do a sad one today
adam would be like yeah like come on yeah but no one's sitting there going oh god
he hasn't mentioned yet
that his grandad's dead
like no one's saying that
so he could have just
not said anything
I woke up to that news
I just wanted to know
I'm crying for an hour
were you
and then you were like
fuck the skiing joke
I've got to do that
he would have loved that
never met him but
I was
so I thought
I wake up just because
i found out first thing yeah i'm gonna message the boys so that i don't turn up and have to go
i just so i thought i'd get it out of the way everyone was nice over a message and then it's
fine we get on with it i do you know okay well thanks for pulling me i'm sorry for your loss and
i guess it's that kind of thing that like, you know, that sort of toxic masculinity where everyone's got to have a joke about it.
Cause you said that you're feeling sad and actually what we should have done,
you should have come in big group hug.
Yeah,
no,
but I'm getting a bit of inheritance as well.
So there's a bit of a balance.
Yeah.
I got three grand with my mum and dad.
He got three grand off my granddad as well this morning.
That's why he's not asked.
He's well happy.
How much do you think you're gonna get
no let me have it
how much are you gonna get
enough for a ride on
mower
see you at mine
this is dedicated
to Mr Bob Nightingale

last of the fucking
grandparents
and what Bobby loved
was independent music

and this is his song
my grandad wrote a song
sorry Michelle
it's his favourite band
oh he loved the punk rock band
I Tell Lies
he loved I Tell Lies
they're booked for the wake
is he dead?
my dad is on so much glue
that if I honestly suggested
booking these for the funeral,
he'd probably do it.
Oh, please.
It's better song.
Ski lift or something.
