Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Adam Rowe. This is my podcast co-host Dan Nightingale.
This is the Have A Word podcast, and we have some exciting news, although it's not news because this has been the case for quite a while.
We're on tour!
We are going on tour. Tickets are available at haveawordlive.com.
Now, here's the thing. We're doing a live version of this podcast with many special guests joining us.
We've already done one show in Birmingham, huge success, and we have shows coming up in Newcastle,

There's still a couple of hundred tickets left,
and we'd like to sell this big old room out,
but we're getting there.

From the heart of Liverpool, with Adam, Dan, Sensei Carl and Finn.
This is the one and only Have A Word.
Brought to you by Manscaped, the very best products on the market for below the waist groomers.
Go, Ed, get on me.
Oh, smooth.
Mmm, smooth.
Welcome to this week's episode with a mystery guest coming in the second half.
You'll know by the title of the fucking episode.
Basically, we've got a celebrity booked in,
but you know, sometimes they cancel.
That's Jim Davidson for you.
Unreliable.
Would we get Jim on?
Yeah.
Would we?
Yeah.
Having a game of snooker?
Big break?
Eat smokers?
John Virgo would say no.
Get Ted Anki in when he gets out of prison.
I think John Virgo just turns up
every time Jim Davidson's having a game of pool.
And John Parris.
Would we do?
Would we book Jim Davidson?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah.
A hundred percent.
Why not?
Because he's audible racist,
stupid old cunt.
He is, yeah.
Yeah.
There is that,
but apart from that,
numbers?
We'd fucking ruin him.
It'd be great.
Ooh.
You wouldn't. You'd be great. Ooh. You wouldn't.
You'd be fucking sucking them off.
Why would I suck Jim Davidson off?
Things said at work.
Will you get Katie Hopkins in?
No.
No.
Mad.
What?
Do you mean mad?
We could just ruin it.
What podcast is this?
What are you on about?
I think it'd be fucking great.
It's not a fucking wanky alt-right YouTube.
No, it isn't, no.
But we could go look at you,
you big thumbhead cunt,
and if she leaves,
it's 10 seconds of gold.
Isn't it?
All right, yeah.
I will see it.
She comes in, we're not going to be nice.
If she wants to leave,
viral, if she wants to stay.
That just makes us look like bullies.
Yeah.
And that could humanise it.
And she's a big horse-faced cunt
and she should stay that way.
So if this is the first time watching Have A Word
because of the big guest
stick around
because we've got some plans
for this
how you doing
how's your day been
oh really
really good
when you're instantly
out of nowhere nice to me
it's off-putting
what's up
you alright
you okay
everything fine
I'm good we have a healthy relationship we do have a pretty healthy relationship yeah Constantly out of nowhere nice to me. It's off-putting. What's up? You all right? You okay? Everything fine?
I'm good.
We have a healthy relationship.
We do have a pretty healthy relationship.
Yeah.
I mean, it's nearly 98% done here, innit?
Yeah.
Well, we can't be friends away from here, can we? Because then we'll have nothing.
We can't do stuff together.
We can't monetize it.
And not film it.
Are you fucking joking?
If I rang Adam for a catch-up.
Oh, I'd be so annoyed.
What have you been up to?
It would last four seconds.
What the fuck are you doing?
I'm not telling you what I've been up to.
We've got to talk about it tomorrow.
All right, mate.
How's things?
Tell you what I've been thinking about.
Shut up.
Anyway, you don't even like being called.
No.
No.
There's no one who can call me
who I am happy when the phone rings.
There's no reason to call me.
Like, even if you were telling me,
even if I won the lottery
and the lottery were like,
oh, we found out Adam Rose won
and it'd fucking ring him,
text me.
Yeah, but you wouldn't know it's the lottery
because it would come up as an 01 something something
fucking number.
I've started answering the phone.
No!
Good.
I will be using the bullshit bell right now.
Good.
No, come on, no, no.
I've started answering the phone
From 01773 fucking Norwich
Whatever the number is
Because I've realised
They're not in my house
And they can't get me
If I answer the phone to someone
And I don't like who it is
I can just hang up
Yeah
If someone rings me and they're like
Mr O you've got to fill this form in
And come down
I'm like no fuck off
And I literally do that
I've got no problem
Just putting the phone down
Same
Got a totally new system
How long do you last Before the phone goes same got a totally new system how long do you
last before the phone goes down i mean how many depends who it is i get really excited now because
when it's one of those numbers if it's like a ambulance chaser twat who's like hey you've been
in a car accident that wasn't your when it's them hey all right lads i've seen here you've been
injured or had a car crash or felt sad recently recently you need to get some money I love those phone calls
because I
I had a video
of me talking
to one of them
on TikTok
doing like a million views
because I was just
winding them up
yeah
it wasn't one of them
it was a phone guy
wasn't it
phone contract
hello Mr. O
we have got
new contract
for you sir
the contract you are on
you tell me what it is
I give you a better deal
and I'm like
alright lads.
And I told him.
I said I was on an iPhone
5C.
I said, I've had it for a while.
I'm paying £120 a month
for 1,000 minutes and 200 texts.
And he was going, oh, sir, my friend,
I can get you a much better phone than this.
I can get you iPhone 12
and for like £45 per month, I can give you unlimited everything better phone than this i can get you iphone 12 and for like 45 pounds per month
i can give you unlimited everything and i was like wasn't born yesterday mate i know when something's
too good to be true lad he's like no sir do you want this deal and then i said yeah but can you
bring me back tomorrow because i'm in the media i'm in the middle of burying a dead body no no
he goes okay sir when is a good time
to call you back tomorrow?
And I was like,
oh,
well,
I think by the time
I've buried this stupid bitch
who broke my heart
and I've washed my hands
and got all the blood
out of me clothes,
I think about two o'clock
tomorrow will be sound
and he goes,
okay,
two o'clock tomorrow,
I think.
Because he doesn't give a fuck.
All he is,
he's on commission
and he knows
who's mayor
that doesn't need phones as well.
Yeah,
that's not in the training plan for that call centre.
By the way, that was a Swansea accent that Adam was doing,
if you're wondering.
The call centre was in Swansea.
If you go and watch that video,
it's a pitch perfect accent of that man.
I need to start answering these calls though, don't I?
Because I don't.
If it's an unrecognised mobile...
Why? It could be a hospital.
It could be a hostage situation if anyone abducts
my wife and kids
it's not going to come up
as a recognised number is it
I reckon they
when a hostage situation happens
when they take your
wife and kids hostage
they often ring you
from your wife's phone
they go
dial your husband
you said that with a lot of authority
or 141
yeah
clever
what's 141
it's blocking them oh my god they'll never know
no but it could be a hot it could be something important i answer every call yeah you could
have a long lost relative who's left you billions you're you're on the different side of this call
carl you literally speak to everyone for prolonged arguments and phone like every direct debit that
you should have already set up
is a weird battle online
with someone in a call center, isn't it?
Yeah.
So you're too far on the other side of the spectrum.
My therapist thinks I'm avoiding all my problems
because the chaos it brings makes my life entertaining.
And if I actually got everything done,
my life would just be boring to me.
That's why he loses eating on.
So you just bring the noise.
Yeah, apparently.
Apparently I'm causing myself chaos because i would find it boring to not be in the midst of chaos it makes so much
sense i've seen it i've seen it live if adam has admin to do you could sellotape it to his
fucking forehead and he'd still be like i'm not doing that to his fucking desk matthew
salati something that he had
designed to his desk
so he couldn't
put it in the bin
but in my head
all the unrecognised numbers
is just boring
and I don't want to know
yeah but often
it's fun if you play with it
yeah
it's just some gobshite
who's trying to get
their commission on something
and they've bought
all the data
and it's like
hello sir
I have a
do you want to buy
a holiday home
in Madrid
it's Jeff Holidays
he's back holiday home in Madrid? It's Jeff Holidays.
He's back.
Holiday home in Madrid?
You've heard of Spain.
A lot of people go to the beach.
Don't do it.
Go to the biggest city in Spain.
Mainland.
Mainland Spain.
Who needs beaches?
We have motorways.
Answer your phones, people.
I hate dealing with people over text and email.
Because you can go,
you can say an email in five seconds.
I can't do that.
Okay, cool.
By the way, I'm saying right now,
if that phone rings at any point in this episode,
I'm answering it.
Because I'm just,
I think the podcast gods are going to be with us and we're going to get a cold call.
So you two are the opposite.
You'd rather a phone call and you'd rather a text.
Yeah.
I'd rather a phone call.
So how do you two communicate? Text. Because'd rather a phone call and you'd rather a text. Yeah. I'd rather a phone call. So how do you two communicate?
Text.
Because I just refuse to bow to his demands.
I never call him though,
because I know he doesn't like it.
Yeah.
But I hate text.
But at least you're consistent with the form of communication.
We talked about this on an old episode.
If someone messages you on text,
then just get back to them on text.
If they go WhatsApp, they go WhatsApp.
If they go Facebook Messenger,
just tell your auntie Linda to fuck off.
If someone who usually texts me,
rings me,
I panic.
Cause I'm like,
someone's dead.
Yeah.
You can't text someone saying someone's dead.
Do you know what I mean?
I assume it's bad if someone's ringing me.
Yeah.
Because why are you ringing me?
What's that important so if
you want to fuck with adam's anxiety if he doesn't answer the first time ring four more times knowing
he's not going to answer so he has five missed calls oh yeah that's definitely when someone
that's an explosion text message honestly they go right on my shit list i'll cut them out me will
you will yeah using you will have you done? Did we sellotape that to your forehead?
I've got a last will and testament.
No, you haven't.
What?
When?
I set it up last week. Do you have a direct debit for your fucking energy bills?
I set it up last week.
Who?
You're not married?
Who's she going to?
Like family and friends.
Me.
Hey!
You know the life insurance you've sorted for us?
Yeah.
Because you were worried about your foot.
Yeah.
Well, I finally got round to answering the phone to them.
That's nice.
They kept ringing me and I kept answering it and what they do is go oh we've got these uh questions we
gotta ask you for the life insurance and i was literally at times just sat on my couch playing
fifa or you know just scrolling and they'd be like have you got time now and i'd be like no
so then i eventually was like yeah go and ring me at two o'clock tomorrow and he did so i did it
and they were like right who do you want
the money to go to
to be divvied up
and I thought
long and hard
about this
so I gave it to Carl
holiday
divvied up to Carl
that's going to be
a hell of a wake
if Adam dies
isn't it
in the Maldives
not a lot of people
do that
but I want to give you
the send off
you deserve
have you been
to the doctor
with your foot yet
I'm halfway there halfway to the doctors off you deserve. Have you been to the doctor's yet? I'm halfway there.
Halfway to the doctor's?
I've had the phone consultation.
Oh, fuck's sake.
And what?
Doctor, um...
Nebljanovic?
Doctor McSweeney or something.
Right.
He's like, look at that.
That's a big fecker.
You'll need a doctor for that.
And the phone as well.
That's mad.
You could feel it through the phone.
No, I showed him a picture. Actually, he didn't see it.
Who was this? He said, you'll need a doctor for
this. So it wasn't a doctor.
You're going to need a doctor for this. And I am not
No, it's old Tommy McSweeney, you know? You get his
number. The butcher. You give him a ring.
Jesus, look at the size of that fecking thing.
He's triage for the doctor.
It's a big boy, yes.
I'll fucking triage you.
And I was like triage you he yeah
and I couldn't
I was like
do you want to see it
and he was like
I tried to turn
my phone
so it could see it
and I just heard my phone
going no
I can't
it's not clear
it's not clear
no
no I can't see it
it's not clear
no it's still not clear
it's lower
it's not clear
okay it doesn't matter
I just
I couldn't even take
I couldn't show him my
because you need an angle
I can't show him the foot because there's by angle. I can't just show him the foot.
If you've not hurt,
I've got a lump on my foot
and it's fine, probably.
It's about as big as that bell.
I'm not even exaggerating.
Same colour.
You're not even exaggerating
and it's got a little dinger on top.
But it is about the size of that bell.
Right.
Yeah, he's not wrong.
I think it's clear
you're not taking many dick pics
if you can't get the good angle on it.
Yeah, I feel like that's indicative of that.
It's a fucking small bump
on my foot.
Yeah.
I rest my case.
My dick is a small bump
on my foot.
Mon's pubis.
So,
what's the outcome?
Yeah,
I've got to go and see
a proper doctor.
You know,
because he was just a bloke in the pub.
And you explained it to him
and he said,
oh, that's awful. Oh, shit. He went, I don't think it's anything to worry about but i'm laid back
don't worry about it he genuinely is uh i've got three bullet holes in the back of my head i don't
think that's anything to worry about show me the phone show me the phone i can't see it lower that's
not clear that's not clear know so I've been referred
oh shit
to a consultant
to a
specialist
do you know what specialist it is
fourth
it is a fourth specialist
yeah it's not a oh shit
you're dead specialist it'll be fine
won't it what What's feet again?
What?
Chiropodist.
Podiatrist.
What's chiropodist?
A podiatrist is a baby doctor.
No, no.
That's a pediatrician.
Pediatrician.
If you send your baby to a podiatrist,
it's going to be an interesting day.
Podiatrist or chiropodist.
There you go.
I think it used to be called chiropody.
Chiropody.
Chiropody? Chiropody. Chiropody?
Chiropody,
chiropody.
Chiropody.
It's a podiatrist
or a chiropodist.
It's, yeah.
Or a paediatrician.
Either way,
they're going to be like,
oh, that's not a baby.
That's a lump.
Oh, you've got a pregnant foot.
That'd be great.
Imagine if you took your baby
and they said,
that's not a baby,
that's a lump.
Get that fat lump out of me. I think me baby said, that's not a baby, that a lump i mean get that fat lump out of me i think

Me and Adam,
we know what our payout is.
Yeah, now we've got the life insurance.
It's absolutely fine.
And who gets the payout?

Just to let you know,
the golf thing is gaining so much traction on this podcast
in Adam's ADHD mind
that I'm starting to miss the quadruple chasing fucking reds
of this time.

You just want to go to Portugal loads.
No, I just want to play golf.
Right.
How long do you think this golf...
Six months. Is going to last want to play golf. Right. How long do you think this golf fad is going to last?
Six months.
Six weeks.
No chance.
It's not a criticism about you but it is a character trait
is being quite faddy with stuff
and getting into stuff
and then out of stuff.
Yeah, but occasionally
I just find...
Look at the big balls on Finn.
Occasionally I just get something
that I know I'm going to run with properly
and I haven't had that
for a very long time
and I just know. And also I was proper going to run with properly, and I haven't had that for a very long time, and I just know.
And also, I was proper in...
You've got to remember, I played golf for five years as a teenager and loved it,
and the only reason I stopped playing is I got obsessed with comedy.
Yeah.
He would have been a great golfer.
It's the only way out of Cardinal Heaton.
It was either murder or golf and you know
he chose
golf
chose what
comedy
so I'm very excited
you didn't play golf
at school though
did you
I know you played golf
while you were at school
there wasn't golf
at Cardinal Heenan
we had the pitching putt
at the school
it wasn't massive
what just fucking
pitching it into the nunnery
I mean it wasn't
aimed at the nunnery
I mean you did hit it
at the nunnery occasionally ah wild it it wasn't aimed at the nunnery. I mean, you did hit it at the nunnery occasionally.
Ah,
wild.
It's like eight holes,
nine holes.
I used to play,
in the summer holidays,
I'd play like most mornings.
Early does.
Just bunk onto Bowden.
Yeah,
bunk onto Bowden.
Get there an hour
before it opens.
bunk onto Bowden.
Yeah,
yeah,
bunk onto Bowden.
Bunk onto Bowden.
So Bowden Park Golf Course would open at like eight o'clock. So you've got there. But some nights it'd be at six. yeah yeah bunk onto barren so barren park golf course
would open at like
8 o'clock
but sunrise would be
at 6
so if you got there
for half 6
you got an hour
and a half of golf
before they opened
and then the fella
would come round
and be like
sorry lads
you haven't paid yet
have you
so it's 12.50 each
and we'd all be like
we'll just
have the goals
we've already played
oh so they chuck you off
at like the 10th
they try
but I was old
in a golf club
you had the clubs
bunk on means
to not pay
bunk on the bus
bunk in the game
bunk on the booth
bunk on the baron
yeah
and the baron
is the golf course
baron
bar
baron
so bunk on the baron
bunk on the baron you bunk on the Bowering
you're actually making us
sound Polish
bunk on the Bowering
I'll say it again
I'll just bunk on the Bowering
yeah
I'll just bunk on the Bowering
yeah
is your bunk on the Bowering
yes
yes
you used to bunk on the Sawgrass
no
right okay cool shall we go and pay to play that course then that'd be nice you don't have to bunk on sawgrass? Ah, no. Right, okay, cool.
Shall we go and pay to play that course then?
That'd be nice.
You don't have to bunk on anymore.
You're doing all right.
Yeah, and that's a really good starter course, actually.
Right.
It's not a difficult course.
It's over a motorway.
What?
Like 11 of the holes are on this side of the motorway.
You go across a flyover
and the other seven holes are on the other side of the motorway.
Yeah, I'd say, yeah.
Working class golf course, isn't it?
Yeah, there's a prison.
You go round that.
The shot on the seventh
is difficult.
You've got to get it
over the prison ground.
You get a ball in there,
you've lost it.
They're trading that.
They put them in socks.
They beat to death
their fucking cellmate.
That's classic.
But that is the bunk on the barren.
You know, we've never had the open. But we're classic. But that is the bunk on the barren, you know.
We've never had the open,
but we're hoping to make it the royal bunk on the barren.
Prince Andrew has been given a fucking membership.
And to be honest, he'll be able to play from the prison when they finally convict the fucking youngster.
The bunk on the barren open.
No one pays.
I, yeah,
I understand everyone's
excitement.
No,
I understand people's
scepticism
about my ability
to stick to something.
It was a bold scepticism,
you know,
because Carl and I
are in a different position.
Finn weighed it in like,
I'm not having a go,
but I definitely am.
A lot of people say
you're a faddy twat.
What's your response to that
my boss
well you can't play
in the winter
can you
anyway
can you
it's obviously
more difficult
and it's wet
and whatever
it's not as
icy
like whatever
snow golf mate
I thought it was
proper spring
summer autumn sport
but also you can go
abroad in the winter
yeah that's what
they used to do
before school
it's made me
excited about Dubai
if I went back to Dubai
I'd take me clubs
because there's so many
good courses over there
and I've obviously
never took advantage of that
but you can play golf
of a night in Dubai
you want to
because the day time's
fucking ridiculous
not in the winter
the winter's alright
the winter's like
a summer here
in Dubai
yeah
we've booked Abu
Dhabi for the UFC
in October
the UFK
oh nice going back
to
they haven't actually
announced the
they haven't announced
it yet but we know
what weekend it's
going to be so we've
booked our hotel
you paid for
everything or you're
bunking on the Abu
Dhabi
bunking on the Abu
Dhabi
bunking on the Dubai
sometimes I

such a fucking
stupid podcast
I love it
yeah I'm going
wait we forgot
what he's talking about
do it again
sometimes Laura goes
what did you talk about
today and I'm like
today's gonna be one of them days and I'm like today's gonna be
one of them days
when I'm like
right
so Adam usually
play golf
with a bung on the barrel
and she stares at me
like I'm a fucking moron
but she doesn't have to work
so one all
one all
she's doing well there
four one to you
I'm starting the
me and Laura
starting the
diet
tomorrow morning
I started mine yesterday
this is the last day of carbs
because we're going to
Tenerife
are you taking the clubs?
don't take the clubs
you can take the clubs
to Tenerife
I could take the clubs
to Tenerife
but I don't think
I won't have played
loads by then
I'll probably have had
one game before we go.
Should we go and do some pitch and putt then?
Just as a little fuck around with some beers?
If you want to, yeah.
I'd like to.
I'd love to do that.
You know I love, you know.
That's actually how you get a lot better, don't you?
You shouldn't focus on your driving.
Apparently the best way to improve your golf game
is to start 100 yards from the pin
and learn how to play short.
Short game, mate.
Oh, my short game.
My sand game.
Oh, I'm great at it.
On the beach.
Whoop!
And your Mars game as well.
What?
Yeah, we're doing the weigh-in tomorrow morning.
We're doing a proper UFC fucking weigh-in.
What's the diet you're doing?
The space food diet.
What's that?
It's the Cambridge weight plan.
Oh, you're going back, are you?
Are you going to be all miserable?
No, I'm going to be good.
No, you're not?
I'm going to be,
nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.
And that's one of my oldest sayings.
I think you've got a t-shirt with that
written on the back, haven't you?
Yes.
It's actually Kate Moss.
I have t-shirts with lots of things.
Catch flies.
Yesterday I had a butterfly chicken
with rice and peas from my nose.
And then after my gig, I made me and Alfie a steak sandwich and that. Yesterday I had a butterfly chicken with rice and peas from my nose. And then after my gig,
I made me and Alfie a steak sandwich
and that's all I had all day.
And I think if I have a heavily proteined meal
twice a day and don't eat anything else
by Sunday for the christening I'm going to,
I'm going to feel good.
Don't drink calories.
Cut out as many carbs as you can.
Up your protein.
Drink a footload of water.
Don't booze.
It will drop off you. You're going to be so miserable. Smoke a fuckload of water don't booze it will drop off you
you're going to be so miserable
smoke a little bit of crack
that'll cheer you up
you're not allowed to come in here miserable
alright I won't
well let's you know
if he comes in and booze
we'll just point it out
he loves that
yeah
do you sneak still
what sneak flavour have you got there Dan
erm
I haven't got
I haven't got a stink on the go
a stink
I ain't got a stink on the go
but I got a little bit of stink
where's Adam he's got a stink on the go what but I got a little bit of stink. Where's Adam?
He's got a stink on the go.
What flavour's that then?
This is Rainbow Burst.
It's a fucking busy little cunt, this one.
That's very summery.
And this is the Sneak Hydrate.
But they're all zero calories.
I didn't mean this to be an advert.
But if you want to lose weight...
I did, because you have to do it.
Sneak.
So yeah, we're starting it,
but we're doing it together Laura and I
so we're going to keep
best way to do it
yeah
so I'm going to go
if she's even looking at a snack
I'll be like
what are you doing fatty
that's my support
I love it
I've slowed mine down
you've slowed it way down
yeah
because it was making me miserable
was it really
yeah
because you had like
a positive outlook at the start
yeah
and I've still
I've still lost loads of weight
but like I'm not as militant on it but did you drop like a price of positive outlook at the start. Yeah, and I've still lost loads of weight,
but like I'm not as militant on it.
But did you drop about a stone and a half?
No, about a stone.
So the great thing with the Cambridge Weight Plan,
which is the one-to-one diet, if you've ever tried it,
I used to do it, I dropped about four stone.
I went too far.
Steve, can you contact the Cambridge Weight Plan and see if they want to sponsor us?
Because we might as well at this stage.
But you've got to do it one-on-one with a consultant.
So there isn't meetings, you do it one-on-one with the consultant so it's it's there isn't meetings you just go one-on-one my consultant was called k garrett we used to call her the gay carrot she was great she was fucking brilliant she was so good and you
what makes a carrot gay is that like when i think men use it as a dildo yes it is if you shove a
carrot up your ass it's gay yeah the carrot's gay
in her case
no the carrot is
in her case
it was wholly wordplay
having something in your ass
doesn't make you gay
no
but being a carrot
that goes up someone's ass
that's a gay carrot
yeah okay cool
just wanted to clarify
just to clear up
she wasn't a gay carrot
she was gay carrot
she was brilliant
she was fucking brilliant
she was one of the best ones
it was when I lived in Leeds
she had like
she was just like
a master consultant
and she trained me up
and I became a consultant
because I'd lost so much weight.
I sold fucking...
You used to be a skinny boy.
Yeah.
And I've just piled it back on.
But I know the techers.
You can't go as skinny as you did.
You looked mad.
You looked like a lollipop.
You looked like a brat stall.
You looked mad.
So I'm 14 stone now.
Brat stall. Don't go to... Do you know what I mean? No. You look like a brat stall. It's mad. So I'm 14 stone now. Brat stall.
Don't go to like a marathon.
Do you know what I mean?
No, you're a bit like fucking massive.
If I drop two stone, I look healthy.
Everyone's like, oh, dropped a bit of timber, healthy.
By the way, when people go, you've lost weight,
you're instantly healthy.
It's so wrong.
Like, I don't give a shit who loses weight
or who wants to or who doesn't, right?
If someone has decided to start a weight loss journey
or whatever, then it's fine to go,
you look good, you know,
because you're affirming that, aren't you?
I then got sort of addicted to losing weight,
which is classic, like knobhead addiction stuff.
Classic you.
I went from 12 down to 11,
down to 10 and a half at my lightest.
And my sister was like,
mate, your head is too big for your body.
Yeah.
You look stupid. Yeah. yeah um you gotta be careful you do say oh you've lost weight you look good too because if you're
doing that like an aids ward that's not a compliment i mean that means they're near the
end of the yeah i don't do you go do you go them much do you do a lot of work down the
aids ward they've got aids to the point where they can't, they're bedridden with AIDS in this special ward.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the first part of it is on one side of the motorway
and then you've got to fly over
and the other part's on the other.
No, but you do get to the point with AIDS
that you can't leave the bed, don't you?
I've seen Philadelphia.
Tom Hanks was fucked, mate.
He's always sleeping.
It's not with AIDS though, is it?
AIDS causes other things in your body
so you'd end up on the...
Yeah, but...
Human enviorovirus.
Now it's time for Adam's health update.
And that was AIDS.
Yeah, I think, you know,
I don't know if there's a special award.
Adam, do you golfing?
You know, AIDS...
And I saw, you know,
my coach has told me,
AIDS is really bad for your long game.
And that's why I won't get it.
It's not going to help my game.
Fact.
Fact.
Yeah, but don't go around the AIDS ward saying,
fucking hell, John, you've lost weight.
No, don't do that.
That's just not nice.
No, don't do that.
At the same time, don't go around the obesity ward
and say, fucking hell, Karen, you've put weight on.
Obesity ward.
The obesity ward. It's hell karen you've put weight on obesity the obesity ward it's next door or no the obesity ward you're a fat get in there come
also don't go around the obesity ward going fucking hell karen you've lost weight and the
nurse is like come on got a job to do here what's the job to get them less obese okay i believe that's the end of that section
and if you take anything away from this remember golf

Did-ja-ra-do.
Did-ja-ra-do.
Should we do some correspondence, Finn?
We shall.
We've got some simple pleasures.
Oh.
Simple pleasures.
We used to do top four.
Is this an opportunity for Adam to sing something
and then we get a jingle?
Are you on a simple?
No, no.
It's a bad one.
What have we got?
We've got a hip hop beat, a country beat.
What do we need, Dal?
R&B.
Oh, like an OSHA.
Yeah.
Drum and bass?
Do we have to be singing?
No, because we've got that
we've got that one
for the overrated
what
we've got the overrated
underrated
that didn't work
no because we've got that
is it overrated
or underrated
we need the hip hop
like R&B
or shit
American
not French
lip hop
go on ready there's a simple pleasure American, not French. Le pop.
Go on, ready?
That's a simple pleasure if I ever heard one.
Cool, well, I'll do.
We don't need music for that.
No, we need.
You look to me when I did the voice for Simple Pleasure,
you were like, Dan, that's disgusting.
I'll do mine.
That's a simple damn pleasure if I ever heard one.
Simple pleasure. Oh, mon ever heard one. Simple pleasure.
Oh, mon sauvage.
Simple pleasures.
Simple.
Is that a bit?
Pleasures make the people come together.
Simple pleasure.
That's a good simple pleasure.
When you come at the same time.
I mean, that's a pretty complex pleasure.
It's not easy. What? It's a movie jizz. I always come at the same time I mean that's a pretty complex pleasure that's movie jizz it's not easy what?
it's a movie jizz
I always come at the same time
what films are you watching?
no movie jizz
when they're romantic
we both come at the same time
statistically you always come
at the same time as a woman
like somewhere in the world
there is a woman coming
when you come
it's not a movie
just because you haven't made
your partner come
it's one o'clock somewhere Dan
how many women call Barbara
a jizz
in right now,
worldwide?
Well, I mean,
it's for Carl's Martinsons.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Wow.
This guy,
that's a zinger.
She's having a day off.
In what accent?
A day off.
This is some
of the pleasure
of Barbara
jizzed over.
Yeah, right now,
there's a jean
with like a dick
up her ass.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, right now, there's a jean with a dick up her arse. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fact.
But, like, yeah, you'd always come at the same time as women.
No, but the woman you're having sex with.
I don't think you can take credit for it.
If they're in Warrington, you can't take credit for it.
I'm saying it's movie jizzing.
I've not finished while someone else somewhere.
Selfish.
All about you, innit?
On your bike.
I'll get a tissue.
Simple pleasures?
Go on.
Simple pleasures.
This is from Connor Simpson.
All right, lads.
One of my favourite simple pleasures
is being in a good atmosphere
in a takeaway after a night out.
It's a proper vibe.
He's 12 years old.
Yeah.
I haven't done that
for so long
I have to say though
I've never clocked it
as like
oh this is a lovely
simple pleasure
but takeaways
are fucking eggy
aren't they
I know what he means
from when I was younger
like when we were like 19
it was going off
in the takeaway
having a good time
yeah
but now
if I'm in the takeaway
and anyone is doing anything
other than just silently
waiting for their food
it bothers me
yeah it's like when they're doing boss man and all that stuff yeah yeah in a takeaway and anyone is doing anything other than just silently waiting for their food it bothers me yeah
it's like when they're
doing boss man
and all that stuff
yeah
yeah
the best one
I remember being in
Machi's
it must have been like
20 odd
you know like the
when you collect your thing
and they shout your number
they shouted like 15
I went bingo
and everyone laughed
I was like
so a couple of months
a few months ago
I'd got out
and got a bit pissed
but I was still like conscious right
and uh i just i'd got to the end of the night and i was like i don't know why i've got pissed
tonight i just didn't need to get pissed and tomorrow's gonna be fucking it i was just i
got myself wound up and just left right so i went to uh i went to mr. Kebab on Slater Street. I just sat there waiting for my food.
And there was three lads, all Mancs.
Oh, Liverpool had beat United 7-0.
It was that day.
So I wasn't feeling very well.
Because we won 7-0, I was like, I'm going out.
Went out and was like, I'm going to be fucking violently ill tomorrow
because I'm still not better.
And I've now had 12 points against them.
You need a medical takeaway.
So I was just sat there
and these three lads,
like one of them was like,
you're that comedian,
lad, aren't you?
But it wasn't like,
hey!
He was like,
you're that comedian,
lad, aren't you?
And I was like,
yeah, I am, mate, yeah.
And he goes,
yeah, I watch your videos,
lad, some good stuff,
some good stuff.
And I was like,
I really appreciate that, lad.
Nice one, thank you.
I just tried to carry on eating.
And then one of them just,
I could just tell
he wanted an argument. And he's going, so where are you next gigging, lad? And I was one of them just I could just tell he wanted an argument
and he's going
so where are you next gigging lad
and I was like
oh I don't know lad
I'll have to check my diary
my phone's off
so like I've just
I've had a long day lad
I'm just having my food
and you're a miserable
comfort comedian
like aren't you
and I was like
yeah lad
because I'm just tired
and drunk
and I feel a bit sick
and I just wanted to have
a kebab before bed and he was like
right lads right right and then for the next like 10 minutes while i finished eating and they would
he just kept staring me out and i was like ugh your team's lost seven nil you've come to anfield
to watch it you've had a bad day and you're just trying to cause murder now just fucking shut up
i'm eating a kebab as if as if anyone wants to talk with a mouth full of fucking
doner meat
end of the night takeaway banter
you've got to be so pissed
to not be
that woman in Glasgow
I like you
I like you too much
does a woman
at the end of the night in Glasgow
in a takeaway two years maybe two years ago There's a woman at the end of the night in Glasgow,
we're in a takeaway.
How long ago?
Two years, maybe two years ago.
She was fucking pissed.
And I'd said maybe three words and she just locked on.
I went, oh, I like you.
I like you too much.
I was like, oh.
Why did you wait two years to tell us this?
There's nothing really happened
apart from like,
I just,
did you fuck her?
Yeah,
of course.
You sure she wasn't
looking at a burger?
No,
but Laura wouldn't mind that
because I was in Scotland.
Different postcard.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Different.
Are you sure she wasn't
talking to her food?
Yeah.
That's a good question.
I like you.
I fucking like you.
I like you too much.
That's why,
that's why Slimming World has gone down the drain.
Do you think anyone's ever met their wife in a takeaway?
Oh, they have, aren't they?
End of the night.
I fucking like you too much.
Well, I'll fucking marry you.
You can fall in love anyway.
Well, she did that night.
You can?
She did.
All right, this one's from Stephen Edmonds.
That is the feeling of a stomachache leaving your body after a good fart.
Oh, do you know, there is something
when you're like, oh, there's a mischief inside me.
When you have a movement,
whether it be just air or solid,
when your body goes, yeah, that was sound.
We just needed to get rid of that.
That is nice.
I get that from a poo.
It has seemed impressive.
Yeah, yeah.
Now, if I go for a poo and I've got a bad stomach, I'm oh it's gone get in but then 10 minutes later it's back again you're like
shit near the eye of a needle there's just something quite satisfying about your body
going dan don't worry about this there's something's gone wrong it's your fault
but i'll deal with it oh you got you sorry doing a big boff's good
yeah yeah yeah you're sticking with that? Cool.
So this one's from Mason McConkey.
By the way, when you write funny names and just make it that,
do you know what I mean?
When you want to make up a stupid name.
Camel toe.
Finn, will you honour my pledge to read out any name?
Great, go.
So call yourself what you want.
Mason McConkey?
This is from Masonason mcconkie
is it actually his name scottish i feel like we've not mentioned this but this is maybe the hack one
which is fresh sheets on the bed yeah but who put them there it's not if i put them there it's not
a simple pleasure i like coming home and someone's just done it yeah the butler you live when you
don't i know someone's just broke in and done
your bed
that's a good
simple pleasure
when you come in
and all your
belongings have been
done but
just as like a
compensation
the burglar's
going do you know
what I'll make
his bed
it just makes me
die
do you know
what I mean
I've nicked your
jewellery
but I've made
your bed
all of Adam's
jewellery
I've took your
sovereign rings
lads
come on I know
we do it on pod
that he doesn't
wear jewellery
he took me
eight sovereign rings I mean 48 rings I mean if we know we do it on pod that he doesn't wear jewelry. He took me eight sovereign rings
and me four earrings

As soon as we turn the roadcaster off,
he's like,
right, chain back on.
Papa, if you can hear me.
Jewelry makes me feel sick.
Even on a woman?

But like...
Jewelers are everywhere.

Do you work at Beaver Brooks?
Calm down.
But like, I just...
Like, if a woman is in my eyes a 10
with any jewellery on,
they're like at least a nine and a half, nine.
There's no such thing as a jingly 10.
Is that what you're saying?
I just, I don't know what it is.
Bobby George?
He would be a 10.
Bobby George would be a 10.
But he's, you know,

He'll probably be casting him.
And James Corden will be in it.
It's time for a black Bobby George.
Honestly.
Oh, fuck Bobby George to be Bond.
Oh, fuck.

Hashtag Bobby George for Bond.

Old ham
I was having such fun
So
We're going to do
A couple of questions
We're done with
Simple pleasures
Are we done with
Simple pleasures
No we're not
More simple pleasures
What about you
You fucking dickhead
Every single one
You just go Yeah this is shit We've all done shit Welcome to my world Yeah I know It's annoying isn't it No, we're not. More simple pleasures. What about you? You fucking dickhead. Every single one,
you just go,
yeah, this is shit.
We've all done shit.
Finn, Finn,
welcome to my world. Yeah, I know,
it's annoying, isn't it?
Just plough on.
All right, okay, fine.
Fucking read the fucking thing
out, Finn.
All right,
we're sad about you.
This is from Harry Ferneville Doran.
Watching a smug cunt
try and make a contactless payment
with an Apple Watch,
but it doesn't work.
Yeah, I do enjoy it.
That's shite, man.
Yeah, I do enjoy it. Yeah, I absolutely enjoy it. Who in here owns an Apple Watch but it doesn't work. Yeah, I do enjoy it. That's shite. Yeah, I do enjoy it.
Yeah, I absolutely enjoy it.
Who in here owns an Apple Watch?
I do.
He pays on his, I don't.
I don't pay on mine.
I've seen you do it.
Brilliant.
I did it like the first three days
I had it and then realised
how much of a cunt you look
and stopped doing it.
It's not a simple pleasure
if you're behind them
in the queue though.
So, it's a...
But even if they,
even if it fails?
Next counter along,
they're like,
ow, the future. By the way, I nearly murdered a pensioner the other day. Right, cool. so it's a but even if they even if it fails next counter along they're like ow
by the way
I nearly murdered
a pensioner the other day
right cool
I went to buy a new kettle
right
right
and it was
no you didn't
did you jizz on it
no you didn't
that was the lie
you told someone
where you going
buy a new kettle
on Sunday
on a woman as well
on Sunday
at 10 to five
for what?
so the kettle
the kettle had broke
and I wanted a cup of tea
and then I realised
how late it was
because I was like
I'm going to get up in the morning
and go and get a kettle
and I didn't get up in the morning
so I didn't get the kettle
so at ten to five
I was like fuck
John Lewis is open till five
I'll run
I'll get a new kettle
and er
then that'll be that
John Lewis kettle
and erm
there was an old woman
in front of me
who at three minutes
to five
and the woman behind the till
had gone
just so you know
because I'd asked her
where the kettle was
and she was like
you've got to be here
before five
because at five
the till shuts off
there's nothing we can do
three minutes to five
there is one man
on the till
and there's an old woman
in front of me
trying to get a partial refund
for an ironing board
partial? what? not the full refund woman in front of me trying to get a partial refund for an ironing board.
Partial?
Not the full refund.
So she used it, right?
And she said, it puts the little diamonds onto me clothes when I use it. You need to put a towel down.
And she was like, and they were like, oh yeah, that can happen.
Like it's this, you might have the heat on too hot.
She was like, well, I want a refund. And they were like, you've used it, you can heat on too hot. She was like, well, I want a refund.
And they were like,
you've used,
you can't have a refund.
She was like,
well, I demand a partial refund.
So they had to call a manager over
to give her their partial refund
of an iron board
at three minutes to five on a Sunday.
And they moved it to another till
so you could get served?
Yeah.
Did she get to keep the iron board?
Oh, thank fuck for that.
No.
Oh.
Leave the fucking diamonds on her face.
Because that's a smart way
to make money, isn't it?
Buy iron boards and get partial refunds.
Yeah.
I don't think you thought the economics of that through 100%.
Billionaires started out like that.
I'm like a J-Fox.
Is that still not off?
Has that worked?
No, it's still on.
Has it worked?
Yes.
Yeah, okay.
Right.
This is from...
Just a simple pleasure. It is. Better be. This is from... Just a simple pleasure.
It is.
Better be.
This is from Carl Wilkinson.
Good name, lad.
C-O-D-K.
C.
Good lad.
The first sip of your first pint
during Noonies in the beer garden.
I didn't know what Noonies was.
I think it means afternoon drinking,
does it?
Can we all agree as a team,
as a podcast team, as businessmen, as friends,
that we don't engage with anyone who uses the word Noonies?
No.
Carl, you can try that again, but if you ever engage in Noonies.
Someone said, can you stop saying Mackie D's as well?
Yeah.
Someone commented that.
I've just Googled Noonie.
Why?
Talk me through that.
Okay.
They just don't like it.

this whole podcast

he is ruining it
by just sitting there
saying nothing
he needs to be loud
what you mean
Karl ruins it
with his jokes
don't come for jokes
replace the names
and we've all had the same.
This would be great
if X didn't exist.
I'm never going to stop
potty seeing.
Never.
If you ever say that again,
I will stop.
Potty seeing.
Machi Deez does do my head in.
It does my head in as well.
I've never mentioned it,
but every time you say it,
I do go,
oh, I hope he dies.
Like every time, but like I don't
mention it
because I'm going to do it
wearing a chain next time
I'm going for a
Mickey Duck Duck
straight after this mate
Mickey Duck Duck
or Mucky Duns
Mickey Duck Duck
it's just Mackey's

yeah it's Mackey's
I'd rather say
everything in Liverpool

I'd rather say
MacDonald's
everything that we say
is right no one else anywhere is ever saying anything right I'd rather say... Everything in Liverpool is right all the time. I'd rather say McDonald's. Everything that we say is right.
No one else anywhere is ever saying anything right.
I'd rather you say we're going for a McDonald's Restaurants Limited.
Would have actually named the business though.
And get the VAT number.
Yeah, so that's Mackey D's and that will continue to be.
So do we think that the first afternoon beer garden pint is underrated?
I'm not engaging with someone who says noonies.
I hope he breaks his leg today.
So I googled noonies.
Are we doing Saturday, lads?
Oh, I'm going for a few noonies with the boys.
It sounds like they're going paedophiling.
I googled noonie and it just says testicles.
So read it out with that being in mind.
Change noonies for testicles and read it out again.
Go on.
The first sip of your first pint
during testicles in the beer garden.
Yeah, that sound.
Yeah, I'm into it.
That is a simple pleasure.
Now, I'm not engaged with someone who says Noonies.
What it means is afternoon drinking, first pint.
And that's a good one.
But you said Noonies,
so we hope you fall down the stairs.
The Christmas I'm going to on Sunday,
I'm so excited for that first lager top.
On your Noonies.
Right, let's get Mickey Duck ducks into the kitchen.
Nah, go Mickey D's.
We done with simple pleasures?
No.
Keep them coming.
They've been bad as well.
Right, okay.
This is your last chance to find a good one, Finn.
Managing to get a good night's sleep the night before something exciting.
I'm reading what we have.
Who's ever managed that?
That's impossible.
Nah, it's always worse sleeping.
Something exciting the next day

Alarm's on.
Going to get a good 8.4 hours.
Good night.
Ooh, 0.4.
0.4 of an hour.
How long is that?
24 minutes.
Aye, mathematician.

two people in the middle i double meg them that's not as good everyone lost their shit no like
during a game megan someone and then moving the ball and me double-megged them. That's not as good. And everyone lost their shit. No, but like during a game.
Megging someone and then moving the ball
and megging the next person.
You are an absolute god
for passing.
Is that the best feeling
I've ever had?
No, a double-meg's a luck.
It's lucky.
It's for you.
Double-meg.
Like an intentional meg
and then megs again.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
If you hit the third,
I'll leave.
For Meg and Srena.
What's Rondo?
What's a Rondo
piggy in the middle
with a football
no I'm what's a Rondo
with you
he's in a mood
have you ever played
Uplod
yeah
what's Uplod
Danny's talking to you
next one
right this is a question
from Kapo Pow
who?
by the way
can we have his own jingle?
I think Dan's a little stressed at the minute
can we tell them what we did at lunch
Dan Wagamama's with the dog
oh yeah
so we
whenever we go out for lunch in Liverpool
because Wallace is here is it not that? no something else bothering yeah so we whenever we go out for lunch in liverpool because wallace is here um is it not
that no something else but yeah so we when we go out for lunch it's the maffiedees comment you know
when we go out for lunch with wallace we always have to find somewhere dog friendly so today we
were like we'll just go to wagamama's because it's quite nice weather and he can just sit outside
but us uh the woman called to take our order and it was freezing and I said are we allowed in with dogs
and she said
only guide dogs
so I told her
with a straight face
Wallace is a guide dog
and Carl
then
I said
who said that
yeah Carl
pretended to be blind
for the entire meal
best bit being
when the woman
asked her
which peppers
Carl wanted
he took his
sunglasses off
and went
oh number 33
put them back on which was beautiful it doesn't have to be 100% blind to have a guide dog also
you used to say any of us are blind you guide dogs are not limited to blind people are they
you can buy a guide dog and just have it take you anywhere is that a guide dog yeah yeah i got it
from the guide dog shop it It's a guide dog?
I could just tell the dog,
hey, I want to go to Woolworths.
Take me to Woolworths.
Try that with every dog.
Just a decommissioned guide dog.
Like the dog that I used to have knew where the park was.
Yeah.
If I said to Minnie,
I'd be like,
Minnie, do you want to go to the park?
She'd be like, yeah, yeah.
I'm a guide dog.
Let's go.
It's only useful as a guide dog
if the blind person just wants to go to the park? She'd be like, yeah, yeah. I'm a guide dog, let's go. So it's only useful as a guide dog if the blind person just wants to go to the park.
Yeah.
Where else are they going?
We've said this before.
Yeah.
Where are they going?
Also, like, you can teach dogs different places, can't you?
Not Wagamamas.
They were like, hey.
Dogs love Wagga tails.
Oh, God.
I think this podcast would be better without Carl.
Is it you?
Yeah, it's me.
Finn's trying to get himself a little promotion now.
Waggy M's.
Go on.
This is from Cabal Pal.
That's what's done its end, you know?
It's the Maggie Dean's thing.
I'm fuming.
Look at me.
What's happening, lads?
You each have to take one feature
from each of the other
have a word team
Adam's dick
what features are you taking
can be physical
or personality
what
where are you taking it
just
yeah I just want that power
like Gandalf
with his staff
dog
erm
he was blind
it was a guide dog
dad stop what fucking staffy that's why you never see Gandalf
in Wagamama's
that's a good album name
it's the worst joke of all time
why didn't you ever see Gandalf in Wagamama's
because he's got a staff
don't turn it loud to see Gandalf and Magamama's because he's got a staff.
Don't shout aloud.
Oh wow.
Where's that David Ward bit?
You've lost it.
I was just
questioning.
We've got to
take a feature
from each of
you or just
from one of
you?
Each and it
can be physical
or personality.
I don't want any of your personality.
You should just hold him, you haven't.
Finn, I'm taking your height.
Is that what you're taking?
Is he taller than you?
Yeah.
I'd take Finn's height, I suppose, yeah.
There's nothing else about him.
I'd take your height.
Okay.
You are more than just your height, by the way.
Actually, is Matthew taller than you? I don't know. I don't your height. Okay. You are more than just your height, by the way. Actually, is Matthew taller than you?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
Are we the same height?
I'd take Carl's ass, Finn's hair,
and Adam's absolutely unfaltering belief
that he's right nearly all the time.
And I think my life would be better.
I think you don't give me enough crevice
for how much I'm not like crevice.
I don't give you any crevice for how much I'm not like crevice. I don't want to give you any crevice.
I'd take Finn's height.
I would take Carl's ass
and I would take Dan's glasses
just so he can't see.
Am I just a fucking ass to use?
Yeah.
Great one-liners.
What do you mean these glasses
from TD Tom Davies?
I'd take them.
Dan, I'd take your wit.
All right, cool.
Thank you.
All right, felt like a dick was coming.
It wasn't.
It didn't.
Why don't you take it off me?
What would it take off you?
My legs.
Take your legs off you?
It's damn right.
Hang on.
Do you get to keep the the person get to keep the feature
you don't steal it from them
I think you can like
replicate it
you can clone it
so it's now yours as well
alright yeah
you can't actually take
no
Carl's arse
so he's arseless
like
oh that'd be awful
like the last day
you know which one of them
I'd take your self-belief
okay
and that's not what Dan's saying Dan's taking your like stubbornness I think Like the last day. You know who's one of them? I take your self-belief. Okay.
And that's not what Dan's saying.
Dan's taking your stubbornness, I think.
I'm not stubborn.
I'm the least stubborn person in this room and it does me head in that you're all wrong.
He isn't even doing a bit.
I'm not doing a bit.
When you can show me that something I've said is wrong,
then I will go, fair enough.
Give me one example of a time that hasn't happened.
Show me.
Print it out.
Have you got a document?
Otherwise, I do not recognise it.
And even if you print it out, I'm like,
ah, you're a fucking dick.
Give me one example.
Give me one.
We can't.
So I'm not saying stubbornness is.
Exactly.
You're putting words in my mouth.
I didn't say stubbornness
I put my arse
in your mouth
that was a good
question though
what are you
taking off Adam
Finn
am I taking off
Adam
your raw sexual
magnetism
give him crevice
where crevice
is due
I can't even believe I'm just we're very pleased with ourselves today aren't we like how are you guys yeah probably is what you
said like self-belief what are you taking off dan dan's personability i think you've got you've got I think Dan's great with people.
That's what I always say.
Say what you like about Dan.
He's a fucking person.
Say what you like about him.
He's a person.
Adam's mastery of the English language.
You're taking personability.
He is a person.
You are as well.
It's a shite ability.
Affable.
He means you're affable.
No,
is personability not a word?
Affable's a better word.
Okay.
No,
I mean like
he remembers little details
about people
attentiveness
yeah
like when you've
when you've met my family before
the next time you'll ask them
a very personal question
attentiveness
you can have my dick
yeah
he done that with your mum
yeah but I'm trying to
that was too far
I'm trying to
hello 36 double F
how we getting on girl
I remember that you like Poirot
how big are your tits
Poirot size
I am trying to fuck
a lot of your family though
we actually love your mum
that's fine
that's a really personal
question
such weird words
how big are your tits
Carl I'll take your
attitude to life
thank you
he's pretty
better than me
carefree
I feel like Carl
when something goes wrong
he's just like
yeah
and
oh no if we're doing it seriously I'd like Carl, when something goes wrong, he's just like, and? Oh, no.
If we're doing it seriously,
I'd like Carl's self-control.
He's got a real discipline
for things that I would love
to have more of.
No, he hasn't.
Like what?
Yes, he has.
Name something.
Getting smashed with all you lot.
He's just very sensible
going, I'm done.
He's good with alcohol.
That does not transfer to one other thing. On that dieting thing, is just very sensible going I'm done he's good with alcohol and on that
dieting thing
that does not transfer
to one other thing
on that dieting thing
we were all fucking
scrannin
and he was like
cool I've got my little thing
that's so hard to do
that is good discipline
that wasn't during
the whoop challenge
that was when he started
Slimming Wealth
why are you trying to
fucking hate on me you
I take Adam's hate ability
away and put it in the bin
do you think you're disciplined
in any way shape or form
I've just been told I am.
You know what I mean?
I'm just one.
Older than alcohol.
And the only reason he's capable of that discipline
is he hates feeling not in control of the situation.
Well, some variation of that.
That's self-controlling, isn't it?
With alcohol.
You are very self-controlled with alcohol.
I'm the same with women.
Yeah.
I control myself around women.
Kids.
Self-control.
They all want to
fuck him
and he doesn't
to be fair
when I'm playing
dominoes
you know
I play by the rules
yeah that's what I meant
as well
I love how Adam
could not let you
have that one
no he's not
because he isn't
I am offended
on Carl's behalf
I'm not offended Dan
thank you
I yeah
you know
Dan I take your
lovely eyes
they're mine
well this has been
a nice little bit
of self exploration
hasn't it
I take the little
freckle on the side
of your bollock as well
it's lovely
it's a lovely feature
I take Dan's ability
to not care about
the fact everyone's
talking about
something behind his back
I live with it.
Because of all that personability.
How are we?
Welcome back to part three
of this week's Have A Word podcast episode.
You changed clothes, Adil.
What?
You changed clothes.
I have, yeah,
because we recorded the first two sections
three days ago, Carl.
We did, yeah.
We are not able to remember what we were wearing.
Jack Wilesy!
Am I in part three?
Yeah. Are you going to edit me into the first
two parts? Yeah, we are, yeah, yeah.
We've got AI, that's how much.
Here's the thing, we get people like
you and Jack with a big profile
to boost the views of
the podcast. The third part. Yeah.
But the first two,
we like to show your fans
how funny we are without you as well.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
And what ends up happening is
I guarantee there'll be comments
on this episode from people who love you
and want to listen to you.
And they'll be like,
did Jack just sit there for an hour
before they asked him a fucking question?
People think we bring people in
and tell them to sit there
and shut the fuck up for a full hour and then start interviewing them um when the first
75 episodes of this show we didn't have a guest on yeah and then when we said we were going to
start getting guests on people were like that's going to ruin the dynamic yeah um and you know
with some guests they're right because some people come in and they're boring as fuck i don't think
that's going to be it i've got a good feeling about this and to be fair like i have just come
from an interview this morning.
I was doing BBC Breakfast
and I was sat on the sofa
and you often get this with those types of shows
where there's lots of different segments
and you never know what you're going to follow.
I genuinely had to follow a piece
on the reopening of the investigation
into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
And they went directly from that
to me talking about my tour.
And I was like,
that is unfollowable.
Are you playing Portugal?
I knew that this would be the podcast that I would say something
that would destroy my career and reputation.
And I wasn't expecting it to be within the first two minutes.
But it's the third part.
It is the third part.
It's an hour and two minutes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your fans have long given up.
They don't even think
you're on
they think you're just
in the thumbnail
for a laugh
yeah
well we haven't
discussed that
in the first half
just so you know
we didn't go near
the disappearance
of Madeleine McCann
mainly because
I've got 15 minutes
on it in my new show
so there's a blanket
ban on that
on Madeleine McCann
chat on the show
one of the other
segues that i always remember was
watching the one show and they it was chris evans was hosting and he was interviewing uh brian may
and he brian may was on to talk about badgers or whatever and chris evans really wanted to talk
about freddie mercury dying of aids and like kept pressing brian may to give him an answer about like how he felt uh and with
the benefit of hindsight like whether he had some observations about how difficult that time was and
brian may did not want to talk about it and it was so awkward and he pressed him like asked three
questions which he just completely straight batted and then chris evans had to go straight
into a section which was giles brandreth talking about the history of the frozen pea.
This like peak one show moment.
Oh, I'd love to see the meme of him going,
can we get back to badgers?
I really want to get this back to badgers.
It's so awkward.
It's just like,
you know you're about to have to start talking
about peas as well.
So just like drop know you're about to have to start talking about peas as well so just like drop it so uh brian what did it feel like when freddie mercury died of AIDS how did you
feel how did your family feel how did his family feel other friends like yeah we were all sad but
my favorite badger chris is this one the long tail badger yay and i'm sure that is uh what was
i bet you that's real i bet you that's a real badger I bet you that's a real badger
Finn
Google the long tail
not how have we managed
to Google
how have we gone from
Madeleine McCann
to Googling badger tails
because we've got
Freddie Mercury in the way
and that's how you get there
isn't it
that's the logical
there is no long tail badger
no there's not
there's not
there's long tailed weasels
which it says are a cousin
you always get them mixed up
I do yeah
sorry
have they named a badger
after Brian May
have they named a badger after Brian May?
What?
Have they named a badger after Brian May after all he's done for the community?
Is he a real badger guy?
Yeah, he's like a massive badger guy.
You think there's a Brian May badger?
Yeah, like putting Brian May badgers together.
He did a song called Save the Badger Badger Badger.
Yeah, because whenever there's a badger call,
Brian May comes out swinging for the badgers.
Did you not know that?
He comes out swinging for the badgers, but on not know that? He comes out swinging for the Badgers
but on the front line. Yeah, he's on the front line.
The farmers are there trying to kill them all and Brian May's just like
fucking happy. He's the queen of the Badgers.
Yeah. Hey!
What are you doing? That was good aid.
I can't wait to see Badger Aid.
That's going to be really fun.
Badger Aid.
There's no S on the end of that, wasn't there? No, no, no.
Okay, cool.
Oh my God. i sat behind him on a plane recently and and then i had that yeah no not prime may oh right okay for a mate and obviously
i knew it was him on the plane because he's quite distinctive from behind yeah it's either him or
share in it and i could and i couldn't help but think we were going through like turbulence and i was like
this plane goes down like it's the worst time to die with him on the same flight because he's
going to get all of the coverage in the news like i'm not even going to make like page six
it's going to be five solid pages oh and he was
but at least you'd still be there yeah i mean you'd But at least you'd still be there. You know what I mean? You'd still be on, you'd still be listed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I maybe wouldn't get in,
like in the Badger Monthly.
It would probably be all Brian May
and I wouldn't be featuring
in that one at all.
A non-ally,
Jack Whitehall was there.
His folk hate badgers.
Awful.
Yeah, they do, don't they?
Famously.
You give up,
like to,
certainly to the uninitiated,
if someone had to guess
what your opinion was
was on hunting
I think they're going to vote that you know you're into it
I'm not
I'm not saying you are
I would understand if someone was like Jack White
or looks like he likes hunting
do they own badges?
there's a badge of colours in there
I don't think it's for sport
badges is machine guns I only use machine guns. I don't think it's for sport. Yeah, badgers is machine guns.
Oh, yeah, so, yeah.
I only use machine guns for badgers.
Yeah, they just fucking,
like, they just wipe them.
It's not like,
oh, I caught this
but there's no sport to it.
It's just there was
a hundred badgers in my yard
and now they're gone.
Okay.
To blame me.
That's less of a cull,
more of a very
sort of specific
badger problem
in one garden.
Depends how big your garden is now.
Yeah, true.
They call North Wales God's backyard.
They do, don't they?
They do.
Do they?
Yeah.
They do now.
Is Rill in North Wales?
Yeah.
So Rill's in God's garden?
It is.
Yeah, but that's like the bit in the corner that he's waiting to be scrapped.
That's the outhouse, isn't it?
It's got like, you know, like Machu Picchu, but he's going. It is. Yeah, but that's like the bit in the corner that he's waiting to be scrapped. That's the outhouse, isn't it?
It's got like, you know,
like Machu Picchu,
but he's gone for real.
Yeah.
I mean, it's people from North Wales who say that.
There's no one in Argentina
going like,
oh, God's backyard.
Yeah, that's...
One day I wish to visit
Llandudno.
Cracking Wales, actually.
It's not North Wales
that are beautiful.
It's only the towns
that are festive and shit.
It's always full of horrible people.
Hey, Anglesey.
Hey, come on.
Watch it. Anglesey's nice. Anglesey, the bit that looks like it's trying to get away from wales that's a lovely spot yeah that's just slowly trying to become irish yeah i like like
bala lake's good you know and the surrounding areas of bala lake beautiful but come on you
can't you can't defend real i know you're from there well i can defend it as as in like it's
very british it's a seaside town and it's
perfect for what it is but yeah it's not what is it for it's perfect for what what is it
not retirees it's more people on the run yeah yeah yeah
we're trying to get fin out of real but he, but he won't leave. It's a cost of living crisis, Dan. It's expensive.
Rhyl's cheap.
We've offered to subsidise you get a flat in Liverpool.
You live with your mum. That's what it's costing a living. She's charging me 25 for a week.
It's real like sort of Marbella was in the 1980s.
Yes, apparently.
Just full of loads of...
Yeah, you've got the picture right in your head.
Have you seen the business of Danny Dyer?
Yeah. It's basically that.
Who had the first wave pool in Europe in the Sun Centre?
That's the lamest flex ever.
I've got some more real flexes.
Lisa Scott Lee from Steps.
She's from Real.
Okay, keep going.
Did she open the wave pool?
Is that how you know that?
Well, they had to shut the Sun Centre a few years ago
due to some dodgy behaviour from men.
But they've opened the sequel down the road.
The Sun Centre 2 has been opened down the road.
Okay, I've got a few questions if you don't mind.
Dodgy behaviour from men.
Are you talking about men being a bit...
Yeah, in the changing rooms.
In the changing rooms, right.
What did you think it meant?
Like white collar fraud or something?
I'm just fucking checking before we carry on.
So what have they done
to prevent that?
Were they tickling the books
or arses?
God, there's got to be
a lot of nonsense going on
to actually have to move location.
There was a few court cases.
Right.
Do these men not know
where the new one is?
A few as well.
No, they know where the new one is.
They've just put the price up.
So it's like 18 quid now.
They've just priced them out of it.
So here's my question.
So there was a problem with men being bad,
gropey in the Sun Centre.
And they've gone, right, fucking shut this down.
This can't go on.
They've moved it a hundred yards down the road.
Right.
And all they've done different is put the prices up.
So my question is,
why didn't they just put the prices up and not move?
Oh, it's a good question.
I think it was the peepholes in the changing rooms
that was the issue.
Yeah, it was in the walls.
It was cheaper to build a new something
than to get some poly filler.
Yep.
God's backyard, innit?
You know?
God's backyard.
Famously.
You playing real on tour?
No?
Okay, good.
Are you not doing real?
No, I'm not doing real.
You are.
You're doing real. Are you doing real? I'm doing real. I'm doing, okay, good. Are you not doing real? No, I'm not doing real. You are. You're doing real.
Are you doing real?
I'm doing real.
I'm doing the real pavilion.
Yeah, it's where you had your 40th birthday.
It is where I have my 40th birthday.
For context, Jack, I am 31 years old,
but I've already celebrated my 40th
because we went on a night out in real.
We went to the theatre for dinner,
not to watch a show.
Oh.
We went to the theatre for dinner because it's the best restaurant in rill uh and they had told the the staff in
advance that we were there to celebrate my 40th birthday so they got me a cake they got me four
and oh balloons and i've already had my 40th in a theater by the way we do this everywhere we go
as a group someone will ring ahead usually him yeah and the last time we did it he rang
rang ahead and went it's dan's birthday and it fucking was he'd forgotten it was my birthday
and just by chance did the banner and everyone was like oh it's your birthday i was like it is
and he went oh fucking is beautiful moment we also told the people that because he doesn't look 40
that he's got some kind of benjamin Button disease and it's just his last birthday
and he treated him accordingly.
I think I could pass for 40 though.
No.
I reckon.
No.
Not in real.
You're a 10 in real.
I am a 10 in real.
And a 9.4 here.
What are we all laughing at?
In this room.
In Liverpool.
I think you should think about Real for your next tour.
I did.
I think I've only played Llandudno in North Wales.
For Silky back in the day.
No, I did a touring show there.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, yeah.
In the venue at Cymru.
In the venue, yes, exactly.
The venue at Cymru.
And that's, I think, the only time I've ever played North Wales.
I was hoping Ryan Reynolds might slide into my DMs
and ask if I can do the, is it the race course ground?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're doing lots of concerts there, but no.
Everyone around Chester's like, oh, it's Ryan Reynolds.
I think people are seeing Ryan Reynolds where he's,
like, everyone just assumes he's in the area now
because he's in Wrexham all the time.
Yeah.
So he's in Chester.
Oh, yeah, Llandud, no.
That's the problem with playing Wales now,
is like back in the day when I used to go to Wales,
I think they were
genuinely appreciative
that I pitched up
to do a show there
and now they've got
Ryan Reynolds
and Greg's the Baker
and Beyonce
playing the Principality Stadium.
It's like,
I don't give a shit about me.
And Brian May
on your flight.
I think you put that list
in the wrong order there,
you know.
You've got Ryan Reynolds
and Greg's the Baker
and then Beyonce. You've got to work on ordering these lists, Jack, do you know what I mean?yan reynolds greg's the baker and then beyonce you've got to work on ordering these lists jack do you know what i mean that's
the list that's the order i do with it really yeah you have a greg's in between seeing ryan
reynolds and beyonce i mean yeah cool good call thank you thank you when did this tour start jack
when did you get going um i've been i kind of started doing it before Christmas. I was doing some like warmup shows and then I did a month in America, uh, in February.
Um, and then yeah, it kicked off in the UK last week and my missus got pregnant in January.
Congratulations.
So I was then away for the whole of the first trimester in America.
Nicely dodged.
Very tense.
And then I came back and I'm about to go away on tour for the final tour.
When does the tour end?
Uh, it ends on the 16th of July.
Oh, okay.
So by the time the baby's here,
you're done.
Yeah.
Special will be taped.
You better be.
You'll be done.
Yeah, I'm done.
We want to extend the tour.
No, you fucking know.
No, but that's what
every comedian that I've said,
that's the timing of it.
They'll go,
oh, you're going to regret that.
Yeah, you want to get that tour
in like when the baby's
six months old
and you're just desperate
to leave the house and I will have done is it your first baby yeah first baby excited yeah
no i'm very excited i mean quite terrifying i don't feel like i'm fully engaged with it yet
and i'm like the minute the baby arrives i'm suddenly going to miraculously turn into a like
fully fledged um adult but i don't know a grown grown-up. A grown-up. Isn't that what happens, though?
You're a dad.
Oh, yeah.
I'm so adult.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You have to be, so it just happens.
Yeah.
You're a good dad, though.
Yeah, I'm a good dad, but I'm not good at all dad stuff.
You don't learn how to be it.
You have to be it, so you become it.
Yeah.
You just fuck it up, but as long as you're trying.
Yeah.
You can't. you don't know.
I'm going to be using that excuse quite a lot, I think.
I'm trying.
You've got to just try.
I'm trying.
I'm just really bad at it.
Yeah, I don't know any of the other stuff.
What other stuff?
Well, like, you know, you think when you become a dad,
you'll get good at dad stuff, like fixing things.
And if anything, I've regressed
because Laura's just sort of, my wife's just become that guy.
He doesn't need to know how to fix things.
He's a fucking multimillionaire.
Pay some cunts to come and fix it for you.
I know, but there's still a pride about that.
You do that?
There's still a pride about that.
You've got a gardener?
Oh, there is.
You've got a gardener?
Yeah, I've got a gardener to just do a bit of weeding and whatnot.
But I still do a lot of the gardening.
But I, yeah, I thought you'd just get to an age where you were a dad
and you were like, I can fix stuff now.
You suddenly know how to put up a shelf?
No.
No.
I think I might have tried a few years ago, but now.
I don't hang my own photographs.
Right.
What?
I couldn't put a shelf up.
It's just a nail in a wall.
Can you put a shelf up?
I would not be able to put a shelf up. No. Why would you want to be able't put a shelf up. It's just a nail in a wall. Can you put a shelf up? I would not be able to put a shelf up.
No.
Why would you want to be able to put a shelf up?
Hours you've got to spend learning how to put a shelf up
and then the hour putting the shelf up.
Yeah.
It's a waste of time, isn't it?
When it's someone's job,
I am supporting the economy by paying someone to put the shelf up.
It is.
Job creation.
Job creation.
Yeah.
I really do want to learn to drive now i feel like that is something that i
need to get on with i can't drive and now it's something i've put off for so long and i do now
feel genuine anxiety that i can't drive and i'm about to have a baby and i feel like that would
be quite useful to be able to do i think the the one thing you can't do is have the baby lens drive
for you oh god yeah that's too much oh yeah i don't know how
quick you can get that done but i don't think you want to take your baby home for the first time in
an uber no you can't have p plates on your cars either taking your baby home no i know i just
thought but it's mental that i don't know how to drive because as a comedian it's like it's such a
vital part of it when you're starting out i think like if you could drive you could get so many more gigs and i never learned then i had my mum that used to take
me to shows like genuinely on the back of her scooter she had a pink vespa and she used to
drive me around london and drop me off at gigs and i'd get off the back like straddling her and
there'd be all the other comics in the green room looking out the window what the fuck is that and
she'd be like oh bye jack let me know what time you want me to come back and pick you up and there'd be all the other comics in the green room looking out the window what the fuck is that and she'd be like oh bye jack let me know what time you want me to come back and pick you
up and i'd walk in there and it was so humiliating and like if that didn't make me want to learn to
drive like what chance do i have like that that was all all of the like i want to see your mom
driving you and the baby and the baby's in a papoose home from the hospital you've got the
baby on yeah or on the back the back have you seen any backpack babies
because it used to be
like a papoose didn't it
so the baby's like
looking at you there
and like you've got your baby
or like the baby's looking out
there's papooses now
for your back
where the baby's just looking out
and that's such an unnatural thing
for the child
because you're walking that way
and the baby's coming this way
so the baby's just constantly
like a reversing dump truck
yeah
particularly on a Vespa as well
that will fuck them up
like going backwards on a train just fucks your head up going backwards on a fucking Vespa as well. That will fuck them up. Like going backwards on a train.
Yeah.
Just fucks your head up.
Going backwards on a fucking Vespa.
Isn't that dangerous though?
It is, yeah,
to have a baby on a Vespa.
It's a dangerous fact.
Having a baby on your back.
Put them in one of those
like delivery boxes on the back.
Keep them warm.
On top of the chips.
So have you never had lessons?
I had two lessons in between the lockdowns and i was
you know making a little bit of forward progress and then there was another lockdown i was like
well i think that's a sign from god i should not drive and then just never got back to it
i did yeah yeah i did two lessons in it and my dad tried to teach me once that was a fucking
disaster he was just such a like miserable git and just in my ear for the
which i know is kind of what you're meant to do if you're instructing someone but i just couldn't
hear him from him and it really put me off and i so i did one lesson with him and then didn't do
another lesson for like five years and then did two and then i've stopped and so i i feel now i
time is running out but i'll teach you if you want yeah we did a we did a racetrack day and
i broke the record for the the fastest lap ever i crashed into the wall i literally crashed into
the wall and robbed the car off yeah yeah i'm quite that's my other problem is that i know
that i'm quite reckless behind the wheel because i've done lots of driving things for shows and
stuff i did you know driving tasks on league of their own and i've driven like a monster truck
and every single car that i've got behind the wheel of i've ended up crashing or like being dragged out of and so
i just again that has slightly spooked me as it would i'm an excellent driver because i've had
nine points for nearly a year now and i haven't got the other three and that's the sign of a good
driver you know what i mean it's not to have no points that's the common misconception having no
points that's fuck anyone can do that.
It's fucking easy.
It's having nine
and then not getting those last three.
Yeah, that is self-control.
It's like-
Oh, self-control is the,
yeah, that's the phrase
that comes to mind
with Adam's driving.
So aggressive.
It's about just dancing on that line,
do you know what I mean?
It's just like,
you know,
you get like the authorities excited,
oh, we're going to get another banner,
and then you're like,
no, fuck you. Full year on nineier. And then you're like, no, fuck you.
Full year on nine points.
Adam thinks they're watching him.
He rolls on nine points, tailing.
He's going down.
I do like 90 miles an hour,
right the way up to a speed camera,
and then slow down to 69,
and then speed right back up to 90.
They'll never catch me.
He punched the traffic light.
That was one of the three points.
You punched traffic light?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He just knocked it out. Just doing just knocked it out wasn't changing in time
so you went out and well i didn't know there was a fucking camera watching me
did you punch that as well i didn't know it was there i would have punched the camera
over and knows there yeah got three points for. Got three points for doing 120. That was a bit much.
Past the school.
Flew over the school.
Yeah, but at night.
Yeah.
It is what it is, isn't it?
But those nine points, you know,
another three months and I'm clean
and then I'm going to get nine again.
You love living on the edge.
I do love living on the edge.
My therapist said that to me last week.
My therapist said to me,
because I asked her why I don't deal with anything when it should be dealt with like if i get a parking ticket
you know if you pay it in two weeks it's 25 quid or in a month it's 50 quid and then after that
it's like you owe 500 quid my i always end up getting it to the 500 quid because i just can't
do the task and i was like why am i doing that with every part of my life why do i not do any
admin and she said maybe you think your life would be boring
if it wasn't chaotic.
And I've never gone fucking yes, love.
And me, like just straight away made so much sense to me.
I'm causing chaos so that my life's entertaining.
So I don't just have to do this and just get bored.
Chaotic part.
I'm also going to take that.
I think that I'm trying
and I'm bringing about this chaos
because otherwise my life will be boring.
They're both going to be very useful sentiments
to pump out when I'm a father.
Yeah.
Why are you trying to annoy me?
Because it would be dull, love.
It would be dull.
It would be darling.
It would be so dull
if I wasn't irritating you constantly.
You could learn to drive an automatic before July.
You think?
Yeah.
I think you book it today.
Yeah, book it today.
Do it.
I'm doing it.
But in London.
Do one of them crash courses.
You do them in like three days
and then you're ready to drive.
Yeah, automatic.
Driving your child on,
you'll feel so accomplished.
Do it somewhere chilled out,
Rill.
Get a crash course in Rill.
Not in London.
London seems manic.
At school,
we had to learn to drive in Swindon
and Swindon is one of the worst places
to learn to drive
because they have this insane magic roundabout yeah it's like five roundabouts all together and you have to go like
like you have to like snake through them depending on which way it's honestly one of the ways insane
like it's the most complex like roundabout system in europe and we all had to learn to drive in
swindon because it was the nearest town and you'd have to go and do your test and you'd have to
navigate your way through the magic roundabout which is why my school just so many people came
out of it and they're incapable of driving which is just another reason why it was just a ridiculous
school like most of us can speak latin but can't drive a car like priorities were all wrong um and
yeah if you look at like you show that roundabout to a driver it's just like anxiety inducing americans don't
even get uh roundabouts today no they just literally don't understand it there's a couple
of americans that are stranded on that round they've been there for years i turned down quite
a well-paid gig once in swindon because i the thought of doing that roundabouts so genuinely
this is true i got like a, there used to be a gig
in like a little bar in Swindon, right?
And I'd done it like once or twice before.
And then on the day, it was like a Wednesday night gig,
but they paid like a thousand pounds to headline it.
It was definitely like a money cleaning,
laundering place or whatever.
So it was like a, it held like 80 people, right?
They always filled it. It was a nice gig, like 80 people right they always filled it it was
a nice gig but 80 people they're paying the headliner a thousand like how much are the
tickets here do you know whoever ran that gig is definitely now living in real yeah yeah under an
alias i think they i think they were there at the time yeah and i was so hung over like i was just
having one of those days and i was like oh and they text me and was like uh we've lost our
headliner tonight do you want to come down to Swindon and close?
And it's a thousand pounds.
This was years ago and I was skinned
and I was so hungover.
I was like, I can't do that round the box today.
And I said, no.
There's no way around it.
I just couldn't do it.
I was like, I can't.
The idea of getting to Swindon.
Yeah.
Presumably it must exist
because they want to keep people in Swindon
and that's the only way they can stop people from fleeing it's like a moat just kids trying to get to university
and end up back in swindon i i the the gig that you could the only the gig that i did in swindon
i did the oasis leisure center on my last tour which was a career low point it was
there's no way on your last tour you were playing
leisure centers no but i didn't know it was a leisure center they said you want to play the
swindon oasis i was like oh yeah that sounds rather fancy and so you know the night before
i'd been uh the hammersmith apollo and then life comes at you fast i turn up in swindon
and it's an active leisure center there were people um like swimming in in the
swimming pool and then I was in a sports hall he's just on the squash court so on the tennis
all the lines on the floor and they'd put out fold up chairs it all smell of sweat and deep heat
and I said is this an active like sports hall and they said yeah yeah but you know you know it's a
really nice gig you'll you'll love it up there and you'll forget that you're in a sports hall once you're you're doing the routine and i was doing the set and and
15 minutes into the set a shuttlecock floated down from the ceiling and just drifted in front
of me i was like what the fuck is going on am i being punked thankfully i had some good badminton
material to segue into that was really impressive that bit when jack whitehall
made that shuttlecock fall from the sky because then he had that bit he must do that every gig
the the tour you're going on now and the one that has just started in the uk
is predominantly arenas isn't it yeah entirely arenas no it's a i'm doing two weeks of theaters
and then yeah about three three weeks of arenas yeah unbelievable yeah
is this the first full arena tour have you done arenas before i know you will have done arenas
before but is this the most arenas you've put on a tour show before uh i think yeah it's about the
same as the as the last one in terms of the dates that i'm doing um and it's just a little bit more
spread out like normally i do it
in like in like a two-week chunk and this one is over a couple of months and uh yeah and the first
one i've done for like four years as well i took a little bit of time off doing stand-up but
really like missed it so much i was so desperate was there a reason you took the time off
is it just busy with other stuff or did you want a break from it i was a little bit busy with other stuff but also i don't know i i feel like i i needed to like live a little bit of life i'd
exhausted so many avenues in terms of like what i could talk about on stage and and then like in
the four years that i wasn't doing it i met my missus and we moved in together and got a dog
and now she's pregnant and all of a sudden it feels like there's so much faster yeah are you
sure you want all this?
Yeah.
Don't do that.
I'll save that for the therapist.
Yeah, it was,
it was a lockdown relationship as well.
We had,
we dated three times and then she,
I met her in Australia
and then she flew back to England
and we went into lockdown together having been on three dates
so we accelerated through like the first couple of years of a relationship in like three months
oh mate if you've got through that exactly oh yeah yeah that could have ended on the third
week of lockdown yeah christ it was intense yeah but there was no flight back to australia at that
point either she was trapped she was trapped trapped over here they could have hated each other and they were saying she couldn't leave
me you're here now yeah it was actually harder once lockdown ended because then obviously we
were released back into the wild and i was living my normal life and i was a stand-up again and
going off and doing gigs and filming away from home. And she was also then exposed to the personalities
of all of my friendship group.
And she was like, I'm not sure what I've got into here.
The lockdown was bliss.
Yeah, there's elements of it.
There's a lot.
When you've got a new missus and you introduce them to you,
especially as a comic,
because you tend to have a few different groups of friends.
I think introducing my missus to comedians is always sound
because comedians just want to be like,
like we're dicks with each other,
but with another comics partner.
I think comedians play the game of,
I might have to do this myself.
At some point, I'm going to be overly nice
and everyone's dead friendly.
Yeah, and we're used to meeting other people.
Like I was there the night when I met your missus
and i think
ishan might have been there and you can see the skill of having to turn up to different dressing
rooms and be affable and likable and and you see that and it's not always the same with every
friendship group is it well the lads i went to crowd as well it's like our job is to be able to
gauge a crowd and like know what kind of jokes are going to work with a specific type of audience and
most of our friends don't necessarily have that skill so they'll drop clangers and and try and make
jokes that they think are funny and you'll see your missus just like tensing up i feel much
safer introducing her to comics yeah than the lads i went to school with no god no yeah it went okay
but like josh and steve well i say went okay. Nearly had a fight that night,
but that's not.
Oh yeah, you did, yeah.
You got away with it.
Yeah.
Just.
Literally just about.
Yeah.
Family's the hardest one, I think.
I think the family's the one.
Because you can,
because if you really like someone
and you know you're getting together with them,
if they fucking hate some of your mates,
you can be like, cool,
I'll just go and hang out with them. The family one is the one where you got we're gonna have to do this repeatedly
like that's the one i think i i think my friends are like my partner being okay with my friends
is so much more important to me yeah than my friends being okay with my family like there's
maybe two people in my family where i'm like they need to get on for this to genuinely work. Like my cousin Dolly,
I use her as a good litmus test for any partner I've got.
It's like, do you like this person?
But like my partner getting on with Carl.
No, I don't mean, I don't mean every friend.
I mean, you know,
like we were talking about the different groups of friends.
If they're not into some, like one,
like the schoolmates, you can avoid that i i would
trust my schoolmates opinion way more than like me dads yeah or my little brothers like like so
much more there's no bullshit every partner i've ever had before they've met my family i've had to
be like right look here's how it is okay you know the way i'm a bit fucked up well i've done very
very well to only be this fucked up and it's because this is chaos there's alcoholism there's drug abuse there's uh unemployment there's
a fucking lot going on over here and uh yeah let's go and meet them and they're all lovely
and they're especially lovely and they put the best versions of themselves on when they meet my
partner they absolutely do and i know they're gonna do that but if my dad was like i don't really know about it i'd be like cool don't
really trust your opinion on anything never mind this uh i'll just you know you'll see her three
times a year and that's fine she'll see carl one more if carl was like what the fuck are you doing
then i'd be like cool how do i quickly and nicely tell this girl i never want to see it again i've never used that
power by the way no so after the lockdown did you have to do all of this in in one sorry there has
been one or two occasions where maybe you could have yeah yeah i've held back and let you fall
on your own sword you have to learn your own lessons sometimes the juicy girl you didn't warn
him about her uh no he quite liked it you that happen? You just stood by, let that woman clean your mate out?
I didn't know.
Jack, Jack.
I mean, she did buy me a motorbike once.
I was like, how the fuck have you afforded that?
Jack, I ordered little red flags to have in this mug.
Really?
And occasionally fucking flew the red flags.
All I'm saying was, some people knew.
It's important to be straight for legal reasons that juicy is a way of fiction
beautifully written beautifully written
it's uh i showed yeah when i was sort of prepping because i had to prep my girlfriend for meeting
my dad for the first time obviously i mean it's slightly easier for me because i can just say here's five series of a netflix show what you have to understand is that this is the sanitized
version of him and he has been edited to look nicer in this if anything in real life he is even
more extreme so brace yourself he was actually fine with her he's just so intimidating and i
think it has always been intimidating for like partners uh and my my sister had it even worse there was a story i always remember
she brought back one of her boyfriends to meet my dad and again like he'd been given the talk
and he'd been prepared and i was at home living at home at the time and we were like we need to
get to the door first and open it so that we can get him in and just sort of like help him settle in and he was a slightly
bigger lad as well slightly thicker he was a rugby player and he rang the doorbell and my dad got to
it before we could and answered it and opened the door and he looked at this boy who was slightly
thicker set and then like barely even
addressed him just shouted through to my mom in the kitchen and went hillary we're going to need
more food and we're like this poor fucking kid who was like 18 19 years old meeting my dad for
the first time and just gets slapped in the face on arrival me though i i mean
i don't know how he took it but that would make me go oh like the fact that he'd said that yeah
i'd i'd take that as a joke and be like oh he's willing to joke with me that would relax me so
much more than anything else i think the problem i would have then had is i would have then made
an inappropriate joke back yeah and then maybe that would have upset him door shut well it's because he never
laughs or never smiles so every single line that he delivers even if he's trying to make a joke
is just with that same like resting bitch face so it's so hard to ascertain whether he's joking or
not and to a lot of people this they're totally thrown
by that and they just think that they're being insulted but like if you know him you know that
everything that he says is oh that would give me such anxiety if i was dating yours like
like i've always girlfriends when i was younger charming mum getting on with mum always fine
dads were not keen on me i think they saw the little fucking
ball bag that i was yeah where mom's like isn't he oh he's charming isn't he funny lad at your
your dad being like that would have given me the vapors i know i'm gonna be like that i know if i
have a daughter then i'm gonna be that kind of a dad i'm gonna want to fucking you know scare the
living daylights you are you're terrifying also the fact that i say scare the living daylights out of any boyfriend. You're terrifying, Jeff. You're terrifying.
Also, the fact that I say scare the living daylights,
I think is proof that I will never scare anyone.
If you hurt my daughter, I'll get an Uber to where you are.
My God.
I don't want, I want to be, if I have a daughter,
I'd want to be sort of I'd want to give off
the air of a man
who is
I'm your best friend
but I'm also the guy
who's going to dig your grave
you know what I mean
no David
I've had that
and I hate that
what do you mean
I've had someone say
they'd drive me into the woods
and I wouldn't be coming back again
no no but I wouldn't tell them
I'd just you know
I'd give them a look
that said it
yeah
you know what I mean
just for me
I want to I think we all want to
see that look so ding dong hi mate you know what i say no it's a pleasure to meet you no yeah i
love it even more than you do if you yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah no welcome to the family
oh yeah that little pout yeah i bet you all right that was quite intimidating
say that again vaseline yeah your lips
oh yeah just blow a kiss at him
do you know if you're having a boy or a girl i do but i'm oh you're not, you're not allowed to... Well, yeah, I was going to try and keep it secret,
but I know I'm going to blurt it out at some point.
You've already done that.
I'm going to start talking about it on stage.
If I have a daughter.
If I had a daughter.
If.
But maybe it will be a boy.
It could be either of those two.
This is just what you're missing.
Could you announce the sex of the child
on have a word yes i will okay you're like you're like this detail about the uh the baby which was
quite funny i went to have the first scan and i was also before i went into the scan i was like
just just try and experience this not as a comedian try and just be present and in the moment
and like not thinking about whether you could get some material out of this and she told us the due date and she was a bit
shifty and she went um yeah so the due date uh for the baby is somewhere between the 10th of
september and the 12th of september and i was like that appears to be a slap bang in the middle there.
But you don't want to tell me.
I think it'd be quite nice.
And the two dates, 9-11.
It'd be quite nice to be born on 9-11, though,
because when everyone's talking about 9-11,
you'd feel like, oh, everyone's really excited for me,
but I think the telly's better.
I don't know where they're about to take.
The telly is better.
The telly is better?
Yeah.
I am, when I was looking...
What do you want to do?
What do you want me to do?
I was looking for testicles on the scan.
There's a screen up.
There's like a big screen on the wall
and they're doing the jelly and the thing round.
And you've just,
even though you've never looked at a scan before,
you're like, I'll know balls.
I'm pretty sure.
And I was like, like wow this kid's got
big balls yeah i kind of don't know what i was looking at maybe the lungs or something
i was like they're too slipped i was like and that was literally yeah i was like laura it's a boy
no you're just seeing shapes you're not seeing you know it's a 3d no it's 3d scan no it's not
it's a the 3d one's a bit weird, isn't it?
Yeah.
I wasn't looking for the outline of a dick and balls,
but I was sure I could see it.
And she was like, it's a girl.
And I nearly went, fuck off.
Yeah.
Well, we're going to have to sort these testicles out then.
Yeah.
Because they're huge.
I saw a dick and balls, or maybe I didn't.
Oh.
Because it could be either.
Okay, we won't ask you what child you'd have.
What are you hoping for?
I genuinely don't care.
Well, I do know, so I didn't care.
I don't care.
But, you know, if it is a girl,
then I could still enjoy taking her to the football
yeah
of course
and if it is a boy
then
I can still enjoy
taking
him to the ballet
I'm really trying to evade
accidentally revealing
this gender
and doing a very bad job
of doing so
no I haven't got a fucking clue
what you're having
yeah of course
it's not a girl
my daughter's asked to go to the football
and we're going with Uncle Adam.
Uncle Adam?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're going to the Cop
for a European game.
Oh my God.
Let's just start properly.
Yeah.
Next season.
It won't be next season.
It will be.
It will be.
You're the one I want to be in.
One of them nasty ones.
We'll be in the championship.
Against AZ Alkmaar.
My first football game
was at Chelsea
and it was a very, very,
it was a night
game my mom and dad took me and i don't think they were expecting it to be as raucous as it was
and the whole of the i just remember as a kid the whole of the stand chanting oh graham paul
is a fucking asshole and it was that for 90 minutes and that was my first introduction
to football and they were like you're not being a Chelsea fan.
You can support Fulham or Arsenal.
Oh, were you at the, you were in, it wasn't Arsenal vs Chelsea.
It was a Chelsea home game.
Yeah, it was a Chelsea home game.
Yeah, because we lived in Chelsea.
And your mum and dad weren't into football at all?
Yeah, my mum's really into it.
She's a Leicester City fan.
Okay.
And then my dad had no interest in football until he was like sort of 60.
And then because we all started taking an interest in
football he decided that he would rather be involved in those conversations than on the
periphery of them so then he became a leicester city fan and now he watches all of the games he's
obsessed with it and just yeah completely like took took it took it up as a interest in his 60s
that's cool yeah i like it that's about it you're an arsenal fan i'm an arsenal fan yeah we were
messaging a little bit about that devastating end to the season.
Yeah.
It's still a success, though.
You would take it.
No, I don't like it.
They were eight points clear.
They're going to finish 12 points behind.
It's quite the swing.
Second place you've taken.
Yeah, oh, 100%.
You've taken Champions League.
Yeah, it would have bitten your hand off for that.
But just because we got close
and then fell into the trap of allowing ourselves to hope it does feel a little bit i'm gonna have a disappointing
oh yeah i mean well thanks for that like the one fucking game you turn up for all season
it wasn't that that did it though giant lesbife wasn't
shall we have a break let's have a break welcome back to
part four
of this week's
wonderful episode
of the halfway podcast
Jack White's all still with us
this is Dan Nightingale
Carl and Finn
sat over there
yeah
why do you always laugh
when I do a bit of
professionalism
it actually makes my job
easier as well
it's just
it's the only time
you ever go into that mode
hi
welcome back
part two of
and there's four
and this is part three
and this is also part four mathematician at heart but why i don't know i don't know what's wrong
with just adding a bit of uh classic showbiz professionalism to our show showbiz yeah it is
because everyone starts the section of the podcast i have no idea which section this is what are we
i think it's hard to pull off showbiz professionalism in shorts.
People don't know I've got shorts on, Jack. Oh, sorry.
You know what I mean?
Jack.
Oh, yes.
And now he's back.
He's got the legs of Ham out.
And now he's got the full Ham out.
How showbiz he is.
Foresight did that once, didn't he?
How great would it be
if Hugh Edwards hosted the news like that once?
Just one time
you tune in
and there he is
legs out on the table
Bombs and cereal
against the day
ladies and gentlemen
I don't like it me
anyway
Ladies and gentlemen
Hello ladies and gentlemen
Bombs and that
That was a news round version
Well yeah
Bombs are bad
Chris Evans on the one show
So what was it like
when Freddie got AIDS?
Anyway,
shut up.
Peace.
We've got some questions
to ask you all.
Keep the ham out.
Keep the ham out.
Keep the ham out.
We've got a couple
of underrated,
overrateds to start us off.
Lovely.
You can go
for these
or just whatever
you think.
Have a vehement, aggressive, shouty opinion on something or you can just be like, I don't give a fuck. Okay. You can go for these or just whatever. You think they're underrated.
Have a vehement, aggressive, shouty opinion on something.
Or you can just be like, I don't give a fuck.
Okay.
So this, we've got two mini rounds, essentially.
So the first one is condiments.
So we'll go in.
The first one is ketchup.
I mean...
Underrated, I think.
It's the main one.
It's versatile as fuck.
But it's overrated, isn't it?
Because it's not the best one. But it's the main one. It's versatile as fuck. But it's overrated, isn't it? Because it's not the best one,
but it's like the default.
It's like the first one.
Yeah.
It's the main one.
I like it.
It gets about too much for my liking.
I don't really use it.
It gets about.
It does.
It does get about, doesn't it?
It's a bit of a slag.
It is a bit of a slag.
It's a breakfast condiment.
It's a lunch condiment.
It's a dinner time condiment.
It's fucking everywhere.
It doesn't deserve it.
Fucking hell,
they do it at you.
Ketchup?
Is it also,
I don't like ketchup,
but is it that it's just,
some brands are just off the table
and they're awful?
It should be Heinz.
My missus,
I've never known Fury like it
when I buy one of the posh ketchups
because they're the Stokes' one,
which is very nice
that one that one has got a little bit of uh texture to it and then there's another one that's
even posher which i quite like and she's like what the fuck is this like what is wrong with
heinz like i get it you're posh but we do not need to have this ridiculous ketchup what's the
poshest one i bet i've never even heard of it i can can't even remember. I'm going to have to Google it. It's also the only sauce in the world that has like pre-cum.
You've got to shake it.
Do you know what I mean?
That one doesn't.
This one doesn't.
That one doesn't.
Like when you like empty a little bit of tomatoes
and the first bit's like all half secret.
It's disgusting.
That's what I've got in my fridge.
Wilkin and Sons.
I've seen this one before in like restaurants that are trying to.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a big boy. Do you know i used to work in a pre-come with that that just blows straight into your mouth i used to work 21 quid you pay that you've been buying
that it's weird it's three pounds from a cardo but for some reason, £21.99 from Amazon.
Yeah, I've Googled them.
The Stokes one's more expensive.
Yeah, that one's really good.
No?
What has this show become?
High, solid.
Do you know when I used to work in a pub called The Officer's Mess?
It was a pub on Victoria Street, Liverpool.
On the tables,
on every table,
it was a gastropub.
It was a bottle of Heinz tomato ketchup.
Yeah.
But every Sunday,
we used to refill them with of Heinz tomato ketchup but every Sunday we used to refill them
with not Heinz tomato ketchup
so they used to buy
cheap tomato ketchup
that's all pre-cum
and yeah
oh the cheap one
I ate cheap
I know some people
prefer it don't they
they've got like a
they like the cheap one
the like
you know the greasy spoon
ketchup
a cheap ketchup
I'm not used to it
daddy's is good.
Daddy's ketchup or Daddy's brown.
I used to, that was the thing when I worked in a pub once
and getting all of the ketchup and mayonnaise out of the massive vat
and putting it into the little jars.
That job used to make me like dry heave.
We used to just get like a huge, like squirty bottle.
Like it was like this big and it had like a,
like a hand soap pump
on the top of it
and then you would get
a Heinz bottle
and you would
pump all the shite
one into it
and put it back on
and put it back on the table
weights and measures
are going to get involved there mate
that's disgusting
weights and measures
nothing was the right
it was the right measure
it wasn't like
that's like selling fake vodka
right the next one
did anyone ever call you out on it
no just like
like
got it ouch but like they've got like a uh they're
sampling the wine i think that's just a pub called the officer's mess it wasn't like an officer's
mess it was just a boozer presumably at some point it was you think i worked in the army's pub
just but it's just called the officer's it's on water street or near water street where all the
barracks are really it was on Victoria Street.
No, but Water Street's at the end, isn't it?
Like where the barracks are.
It was just a pub where you go down.
And one night, it got really out of hand there.
I don't know whether I've ever told this story.
Yeah, we have, yeah.
Have I told this story on the pod?
When we got robbed by accident.
No, it didn't get robbed by accident.
We sort of robbed it accidentally on behalf of the customers.
Talk me through that logic.
So at the arena one night,
there was a reggae concert on.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Reggae concert.
So there was a man who hired the officer's mess.
And I don't know why he chose the officer's mess for this.
For his after party of the reggae concert.
He wasn't like the reggae man.
It wasn't like it was his concert.
No.
But he was putting like...
Because an unnamed guy doesn't sell out in the arena.
Is it the reggae man tonight?
Do you know his name?
No, but it's four years ago.
So it was a reggae enthusiast then?
Yeah, but he was just like, he was a businessman, right? So the guy... A businessman by day a reggae enthusiast yeah but he was just like he was a businessman right so
uh the guy the guy businessman by day reggae man by night
so it was the guy that created rasta mouse he hired the officer's mess and in the build-up to
it so i was like the supervisor at this stage sort of thing and um yeah i know right and this makes it worse in charge of the
ketchup no but the manager was like right here's what's happening we've we've signed this deal with
this fella so on saturday night he's after um i think it was on a sunday right so he's like on
saturday night after the shift we need to empty all of the fridges and all of the shelves because
this fella who's hired the place is
bringing his own alcohol he's paid a premium to have the place with his own alcohol it's like
right so uh the next day i have to get in early and we set up the bar with all this guy's beers
and all this guy's spirits and all this guy's bottle of champagne and uh all that sort of stuff
and we're like so what are we doing like till wise he goes oh no no because his brother's on
alcohol it's just you know if someone comes to the bar and the manager was like,
we want to get rid of this
as quickly as possible.
Like, the sooner the booze has gone,
the sooner the night ends.
But to be fair,
I get why he's brought his own booze.
If anything,
to go by,
like, your antics with the ketchup,
he doesn't want to be ordering
a beer and moretti
and then,
is this special brew?
You've just been decanting it
into all of the bottles.
Nah, it takes a turn for the worse here jack okay oh no so uh my manager was like whenever someone comes to the bar yeah
it was full by the way busier than it was it felt like a like a shoulder to shoulder nightclub it
wasn't like the pub it normally was yeah and they brought a dj who's playing like the loudest, like reggae, hip hop and everything. We saw that coming.
So he said, whenever someone comes to the bar,
if they order a brandy and coke,
just say to them, do you want the bottle?
And then give them the bottle and give them a jug of coke
because then that's a lot quicker than giving them, right?
It sounds like a bad idea.
So people come to the bar going,
can I have a brandy and coke?
And I go, do you want the bottle?
And they go, how much is it?
Be like, no, no, no. It's a open bar because the guy's brother's so
and he's like oh cool so then i would give them a bottle of brandy then the fella comes in who's
hired at one point and he's like why are you giving everyone the alcohol and we were like
because that's what we were told to do and he starts screaming at like the the girl who's the
glass collector she was like 17 and i was like what's
going on he's like she's giving my alcohol away she's giving my alcohol away and we were like
that's what we've been told to do it turns out that being a miscommunication between the manager
of our place and him he wanted to hire the place out and sell his own alcohol right so he's brought
all this stuff to sell and we're just fucking giving it
to people who've come to the after party the bottle bottles of brandy but he starts like
kicking off and like then it when people sort of realize there's a kickoff and the fellow who
they've all bought their tickets from is not happy it just becomes like an app it becomes chaos and
everyone's screaming and shouting and it's like sort of mob mentality everyone knows there's a
kickoff and i was just like get everyone all of our staff especially the young girls just
get them on the street and we just all went on the street called the police waiting for them to
arrive and at that point there's people behind the bar just helping themselves to whatever because
we're just like i i the manager was like we can't do that and i was like i won't say his name i was
like mate i'm taking all the rest of the staff outside there's too many people in here as it is and now they all know that there's been a
miscommunication and they should have been charged for alcohol they're just going to be jumping over
and getting whatever they want and we're not getting in the way of that and we stood on the
street and wait for the police to arrive it sounds very similar to some of the shenanigans that went
on in the swan and labrador the pub i worked in, in Putney, on the one fateful day
when they ran out of Whispering Angel.
It kicked off in a very similar manner.
Love a Whispering Angel.
Bit of icing.
What's a Whispering Angel?
It's a high-end rosé wine.
So just to conclude.
So just to conclude.
Ketchup, overrated?
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whispering Angel, underrated.
Rastamouse, underrated. Right, let's go through these. Mayo, underrated, it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whispering Angel. Underrated. Rastamouse.
Underrated.
Right, let's go through these.
Mayo.
Underrated, overrated.
I think it's just a white ketchup in it.
It gets about too much.
And then garlic mayo is its own thing, isn't it?
I think you're going to feel like that
with a lot of these condiments.
Salt?
They all get about a bit too much.
Garlic mayo is better.
Garlic mayo is much better, in my opinion.
It needs to have been
jazzed up
yeah
standard mayo is
right
hot sauce
underrated
so heavy
on everything
does it not get about enough
no
no it doesn't get about enough
hot sauce should be available
in like
a breakfast place
hot sauce on your eggs
is excellent
if you go to a greasy spoon
I would have
brown sauce as the leader.
Like he's the headline act on the table
because that's what I want normally.
But above, I'm much more likely to have hot sauce
on my breakfast than ketchup.
Even on cheese on toast.
How are you with spice, Jack?
Are you worried you're going to get cold into hot ones?
Yeah, I'm not great with spice.
So I would say-
When you go to Nando's, what spice do you have?
Lemon and herb.
Oh, no.
Did you say lemon and herb?
Lemon and herb.
And yeah, I have to have lemon and herb.
And nowadays I also have to have an Imodium before I've ordered.
You are a dad!
Yes, it's happening.
It's so tragic.
Could you bring back the mango and lime?
So if the call comes,
Sean Evans phones, hot ones,
are you declining just outright?
I mean, I would be like, you know,
sweating out of my eyeballs on the first.
He's not declining hot ones, is he?
No.
I'd do it.
Hey!
Don't you start.
Massive joke. Fucking massive, Jack.
Right, last one.
Mustard.
Overrated.
Shite.
It's weird.
It's got such a weird taste.
I love mustard.
What kind of mustard?
You love mustard.
I love English mustard.
£40 bottle stuff.
Oh yeah, I've got this special stuff that I buy off Amazon.
Mustard ruins a hot dog.
Do you know what?
A bit of American mustard on a hot dog
actually adds to it for me.
But when they put as much mustard as they do ketchup,
that's wrong.
It should be like three quarters to a quarter
ketchup to mustard ratio.
I feel like this will get a bit of stick,
but I don't like ketchup,
but I think mustard's much.
I like mustard.
So if you have a hot dog,
a veggie hot dog, you just think mustard's much. I like mustard. So if you have a hot dog, a veggie hot dog,
you'd just have mustard?
Yeah.
And onions.
You might be the strangest little boy I've ever met.
Little?
He's bigger than you.
Little boy.
I'll take it.
Right.
We're moving on.
This is going to be cities underrated, overrated.
So I know your opinion on this one, Adam,
but we'll get everyone else's.
New York. It's just the best place in the world, apart from Nashville. So it's overrated. It's overrated so i know your opinion on this one adam but we'll get everyone else's new york it's just the best place in the world apart from nashville and so it's overrated overrated
by adam it's not overrated it's brilliant yeah it's underrated i like new york i love new york
you've been living in la when you're out in in the states are you in new york or doing a bit
of everything uh mainly in la which i don't like right new york i
like because it's like the the people there remind me more of brits it's just everyone's
keeps themselves to themselves a little bit more and it's less in your face and it just i don't
know it feels like you say it's less in the face but there is those people on the street who do
shout at you asking if you've got their money as you walk past you got my money like have you met him i met him what's the next city because you've just said it then yeah la
yeah so none of us have experienced it what's it like because i've heard that it's
well on paper it's paradise it's great food beautiful people sunshine but then within
two weeks of being there you're like i could rather be in a
weatherspoon like in a pub garden i don't know i just like you can't live there for too long because
just everyone is in the industry like it all feels quite inauthentic is it like living in
the obsessed with kale as well everywhere you go every fucking restaurant is like kale salads and kale
smoothies and i walked into some place it had a sign on the window it was like our secret ingredient
is happiness it's kale it's definitely kale it's everything that you have on there has never been
aware of with with either of those things yeah i don't know anyone who speaks highly of la anyone
or the committee like even the comedians comedians whose podcasts I sort of listen to every now and then,
a lot of them have moved to Austin now.
Like, even Tom Segura's, like, we were all in LA
because it felt like the right place to be,
but now that we don't have to be there,
it's fucking amazing to not be there.
The only big comic I know that sort of stayed there
is Bill Burr, and that's just because he's got a family,
like, sort of bedded in and that, the rest of them have just upped the move because like i don't know anyone
who loves la what's it like gigging for you in america is it if people got a preconception of
you as kind of the the actor more than the stand-up yeah i mean i'm not like la la is a
hard place to gig as well because there's just so many like comedians there and like big
name comedians as well like dropping in and doing the clubs all of the time so you're normally on a
bill with someone whose fan base has come to see them and only them so it's it's it's like a it's a
it's a weird experience to go and gig there when you haven't got when i don't have a particularly
big profile in in stand standup out there.
So I've had some nights where I've gone and I've done a gig and I'm on like,
there's a guy called Joey Diaz.
Do you know him?
Joey Coco Diaz.
Joey Coco Diaz.
His crowd is slightly different
to maybe my target audience.
Is it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I fucking died on my ass.
Follow him.
He literally did a half hour routine
about eating ass.
And it was like, I've never, it was insane.
Every routine.
And then he would be back to eating ass.
And I didn't, it was kind of impressive
to watch someone able to string out 30 minutes
on ass eating.
Was that harder to follow than the Madeleine McCann news?
I would say, yeah.
God, I'd love to see Joey Diaz
on The One Show.
Holy shit.
Or Giles Brandreth
doing a section on ass eating.
Right, the next city is Amsterdam. So we did our special there what did you think i loved it but
i think it might be overrated you know there's nothing to do it's great but it's still everyone
loves it it's just the weed thing if you don't smoke or drink what else you do sightsee go to
the van gogh museum and play a i don't think you can say there's nothing to do i mean compared to
all the european cities it's very it's not you can say there's nothing to do. I mean, compared to all the European cities, it's very, it's not, you know.
Okay, what is there to do
in another European,
Paris,
that there isn't to do?
There's a lot more,
there's a lot more culture
and things to see in Paris
than there is in Amsterdam.
Name them.
Versailles, the Eiffel Tower,
all of the museums.
Amsterdam's got that bridge
that I was looking for
for a bit.
Ah, that bridge.
The Rijksmuseum.
The what?
The Rijksmuseum.
Yeah.
Anne Frank House. Anne Frank House. What is that? It's near that bridge. the reichs museum the reichs museum yeah and then the you know red light amsterdam been ever been ever been a fan ever been yeah i love
i love my brother lives in amsterdam no yeah what a great place for your brother to fuck off to
great could have been swindled yeah he lives he's been there for a year now lives with his missus she works for just eat
who are based in amsterdam and they offered her a couple of years
got a job on the bikes well it's the best place to do it so much respect for cyclists there um anyone's ever moved for a justy job
got an opening in brussels sound i did my own bike i did a gig gig there a couple of weeks ago
and i was i played the afas arena and it was next to uh the iac stadium and they uh they had
metallica on in the stadium at the same time which is so funny
watching all of these middle-class expats shuffling into my show and then a load of metal heads
just mingling in the car park right a couple of british cities to round us off manchester
totally overdated totally and completely and utterly people think it's the second best city in the UK
and it isn't.
Where is it?
Liverpool?
The second best city?
No, that's number one.
I thought we were all just going to London.
Have you seen that thing where it says...
What was it?
People got asked where the second best city in the UK was.
Everyone in Manchester said Manchester and everyone in manchester said manchester and everyone liverpool
also said manchester that's good because we said number one then yeah you get it yeah um manchester
is overrated good place to go to uni though yeah i think my problem with manchester is i love
manchester so much because i was a student there but like i was just infatuated with it because
i'd never been anywhere else other than london at that point and it was incredible to just
not be living at home with my parents so I just fell in love with Manchester hard and then
do you remember the after party that someone had at your student house yeah we did a student gig
yeah yeah and uh it was I think Joel Isott and you had a gig together yeah do you know I've told
that to people and they're like you're making it up i was like yeah these two students yeah i remember thinking yeah they're both they've got potential yeah and i was like the paid yeah the
paid you know headliner yeah on a wednesday yeah it was your mate i can't remember his name but
you and your mate ran yeah like yeah yeah comedy and i got paid 120 quid yeah and afterwards like
everyone was like wow you know
wow so you get paid to do stand-up i was like yeah man yeah and i'm literally trying to give
jack and joe lice advice i was like you keep on these tracks guys maybe one day give it three or
four years you could be getting 120 quid on a wednesday i can see both of you on spiky mags
mailing list i really can yeah yeah keep going we had John Bishop do that gig like a couple of months later
and we ran out of cash
because we hadn't like divvied it up properly
and had to give him £70 cash
and then some laughing gas.
That's how student it was.
The after party was great though.
It was so good.
And this was like,
it got to the point where it was
just about to get larry and you were like i'm off to bed i was left with like three or four of your
mates crazies i even i called i was like oh dude you're the old you're the old guy in the student
party well and there was one party as well i woke up the following morning because i used to do that
i was quite good at a french exit and then i woke up and came downstairs and there was a rather, I would say,
feisty homeless gentleman
that used to loiter around the bus stop
abusing the students.
And I found him asleep on the sofa
in our living room.
And he had unfortunately soiled himself.
And I had to wake him up
and usher him out of the house
and then walk back in.
And I looked at this sofa and
i was like oh god i could go and tell everyone about this and then attempt to clean it but i
could also just turn those cushions over and get on with my life and i picked up the sofa cushions
and i turned them over and didn't tell anyone that's why every student loses their deposit
at the end of the year of renting a place
our house was disgusting it had like a beer funnel strapped to the top that wrapped around
the stairs and then this like sort of patch of beer on the carpet at the bottom of it
but like i remember light bulbs used to go out and we used to look at that happen and be like
well i guess this is a day room now we spent our entire budget for furniture on a pool table it was just like it was a proper frat house
we lost the front door as well had another party where i came down and someone had nicked the front
door ripped it off the hinges and there was no front door so i had to go out and buy um a bin
liner and some gaffer tape and just seal it up so that there wasn't a draft
like someone had broken your car window that'll do that'll do why do we keep having homeless people
shit themselves on the couch i think i've got a clue it might be the bin bag door i think you
just missed conclusions manchester is overrated i think it's good. I actually like Manchester.
But it is totally and utterly overrated
by every single person on the planet.
Okay.
Decisive there.
Right, we're going to have some advice.
Hit the jingle.
Yes, Finn, I will.
It works for us.
How are you giving advice?
You're quite good at advice
people write in
because they know
we've got our lives
together and they
want to
oh yeah
I see how good
at giving advice
right this one is
from anonymous
wag wag lids
I have a little bit
of a dilemma
I've been working
with my dad as a
plumber for a few
months and I've
noticed some
suspicious behavior
from him in the
past few weeks
he's been overcharging
people for basic jobs we've been doing I'm not sure whether I need to say something I've left it suspicious behavior from him in the past few weeks. He's been overcharging people for basic jobs we've been doing.
I'm not sure whether I need to say something.
I've left it for a while, but last week,
he charged an old woman, probably about 75,
over 500 pounds for a 20-minute dead simple job.
What do I do in this situation?
Keep my mouth shut and enjoy the money or confront him on it.
Ooh, that's stinky.
That sounds like a fucking prick.
Good. That's all we're saying. Yeah's it here's your advice oh that's it sounds like one of them isn't it cowboy isn't he i mean
all tradesmen if they're you know especially if they see guys like me they're like oh a shelf
they don't put themselves up but when it's the when it's pensioners i feel like that's
really robbing pensioners jack can you i mean i got charged three grand by someone to refit
that front door but i think yeah they were within their rights to do so i've got to be honest
it's okay to rob you yeah oh 100 you can't%. You can't rob a 75-year-old woman. No, you can't.
What if she was a wealthy woman?
I haven't said that.
If she's that old, she was probably racist,
so, you know, fuck her.
No, just statistically.
Yeah.
One in three, is it?
I think it's more like three in four.
I wouldn't work for him.
I'd bin it off, just get a proper job.
But it's his dad.
Yeah.
What does he do?
Does he...
He can't build it.
Dad's your scumbag.
See you at Christmas.
No, he lives with his dad, I'm guessing.
I think you're going to say something.
Would you say something?
Stand up.
How would you confront him?
I mean, I haven't stood up to my dad in 34 years.
Yeah, stand up to him, why don't you?
Do a Netflix series with him.
Yeah, do a Netflix series with him.
Travels with my plumber.
He's not going to change, is he?
Remember the programme, Cowboy Builders?
Do that, but from the other perspective.
Do Cowboy Builders 2,
but you are the cowboy builder.
Oh, yeah.
You could snitch him out to Dominic Littlewood.
Oh, yeah.
That's a good idea.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
No, no, no, no, no.
Just get on board with your dad, right?
Just accept that that's what he does
and just film it from that perspective.
So you can do, like,
before you're going into the house,
you're like, right right this one's 89
she's fucking lost
her marbles
and now we're going
to take two grand
off her
to put a light bulb
in
I wonder if they'll
be able to
how to rob pensioners
yeah film the court
case as well
what is that BBC
yeah it doesn't
seem like it
I think we're in the
age of creating
your own content
aren't you
start a Patreon
yeah
so that's our advice charge 400 quid a month our advice aren't you? Start a Patreon. So that's our advice.
Charge 400 quid a month.
Our advice to this guy is start a Patreon
and film your dad scamming people.
Monetize it further.
That's great advice.
Stop working for your scummy dad.
I don't think it's as easy as that, though, is it?
Why?
It's family, isn't it?
What do you do to make him...
Yeah, you can get another job.
You can.
It is that easy.
You don't have to work for your dad if you don't want to.
Do you call him out on it, I mean?
Well, I don't think he's ever going to change, but you can work somewhere else where you don't have to work for your dad if you don't want to call him out I don't think he's ever going to change
but you can work
somewhere else
where you don't feel
the ick
every time you
rip off someone
I actually do think
people do have
the capacity for change
cool
apart from 75 year old
racist women
yeah they're awful
yeah they're sucking
their ways
I think call him out
and then if he kicks off
just say
I am bringing about
this chaos
because otherwise
my life would be boring
that's how you fucking podcast baby right this one's from beardy kins uh wag wag lids need some
advice my wife and i have been together 13 years and i've always been quite kinky we recently
introduced pegging into our sex life oh my god that's where the woman bums the man yeah no no he's been in la darling i was far too quick to go
i know what that is i'm pegging you say oh yes i think this one's maybe more for adam after
shitting on my wife several times i've actually seen this in the prep. I was like, he's not going to do that one today.
Why not?
Go on.
Why not?
Several times.
I tried douching beforehand, but there still always seems to be. This is why I did it.
I've almost seen it.
She's taking it.
This phrase was why I've picked this question.
There always seem to be some chocolate hostages left behind.
Now this would make a good vt for the one show
hello i'm adam and today is the chocolate hostage special
even after one or two douches uh there's still chocolate just left behind any advice to help
me completely clean my back door area just only fuck on the couch and then turn the cushions
over when you're done.
There you go.
He's nailed it.
He's nailed it in one.
Very nicely navigated.
Right.
I have a word
to round us out.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Genuinely,
you just,
maybe pegging's not for you.
If you're douching twice
and you still,
that's still happening.
Change your diet,
more fibre. There you go. Yeahing twice and you still... That's still happening. Change your diet, more fibre.
There you go, yeah.
Yeah, get some special care.
Or use this doucher that we have.
What is that?
It's a doucher.
This is an actual doucher.
It's an actual doucher.
It's what you do is...
You fill your bath up, right?
And then you do this in it.
Fill your bath.
You don't need that much water, do you?
No, I think it's got,
it's not just gotta be sterilized water.
Sterilized water?
Does it not?
I don't know.
It's gotta be holy water.
Holy water.
It does feel like it.
So then you release it,
and this will suck the water off.
Is that my gift for coming on the show?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jonathan Ross, you get a mug and a canvas bag.
And on every word, you get a douche.
Can we not give him
an unused one?
And then you do that
and then it cleans out
your body.
Do you have any unused,
that doesn't mean used,
does it?
Why don't we send this
to that guy?
We've got several thousand pounds
worth of sex toys
behind that curtain.
Oh no,
don't throw fucking
sex toys at us.
Because Matthew,
our sponsor,
Love Honey,
furnished us
with their entire catal really yeah all the
things wow yeah there was one point when there was too many actually used um in this studio
to clean the camera lenses we just do that on it you do the camera lens yeah i am i did a gig in
la and it was at a sex shop and they didn't tell me it was at a sex shop and i landed and i turned
up to the address and walked in and i was like there must be a mistake and I called my agent he was like no no
it's a gig in a sex shop I was like I'm not doing that I mean and he was like you did the leisure
center last week I was like just say my plane got delayed I don't feel comfortable performing in a
sex shop and so then I hang up and the guy came over and he was like are you here for the comedy
gig and I was like nope and then realized that the only way i could get out of that situation and save face
was to look like a customer around like looking at a few handcuffs and dildos
buy a butt plug and off i went did you buy a plug no no i didn't i didn't feel like i needed to
actually buy something but you were just browsing i was just browsing yeah which actually makes you look like even more of a weirdo yeah that looks like you've
gone into a sex shop and you know what they haven't got what i'm looking for
i think i need to get that on the dark web
right this have a word is from sam beard he said have a word with my colleague in the kitchen at
work we'll call him ben he always lies to us about the most unrealistic things and we've called him out on it,
but he still does it.
He's a real life Jake Hartwright.
Should I call him out
or let him keep having a laugh?
Here's some examples of his lies.
He apparently opened the Seven Bridge
between England and Wales
with Prince Charles.
Having an over the phone flirtation shit
with the lady who used to sell us
our vegetables.
Apparently she even came in one time
because she had to put a face to the voice.
Getting kicked out of Pizza Hut
for eating too much pizza
and eating 88 pounds of steak.
Was he eating pizza off the people's table?
From the all-you-can-eat lunch button.
Right, okay.
He wasn't just like going in,
I'll have one pizza,
but I'm having some of theirs as well.
Me and Adam ate more steak than that
when we went out for steak that time.
That's true, actually.
So that one-
What did he eat?
88 ounce steak in one sitting.
We ate more than that, didn't we?
Yeah, I think so.
This guy's a big lad.
So have you got any,
have you ever had a friend that just lies about stuff?
Yes.
We've got one.
We've got one who is the epitome of Jake Hartwright.
And he's got similar letters in his name to Ben.
Yeah.
It's better.
No, it's Ben.
This is our mate.
I wrote this.
You have to let him do it and you enjoy it.
Just laugh at it.
Not at him.
Just enjoy it behind his back.
If you've got a bullshit,
it's great.
You just have to interrogate them.
Not interrogate them,
but playfully interrogate them.
Pick holes in it.
Yeah.
Not pick holes.
Just keep asking. You don't even want to pick holes you just want to like watch them try
and extend the bullshit so when he's like i opened the seven bridge you don't just go oh cool you go
how did that come about how did you get to do that and then they've got to invent that bit and then
whatever they say there you ask a question about that and you just make them paint this unbelievable
nonsense picture and eventually they eventually they'll out themselves.
It's fun.
Life's better with people who are full of shit.
Yeah, he's insane.
He's insane.
He said he went to Thailand once for three weeks.
That's the lie.
It was part of the lie.
It was showing A-level revision.
And he was a smart kid, but didn't want us to know.
He was too cool to be like,
I'm revising for a few weeks
so I'm not coming out drinking
so he said to us
that he'd been in Thailand
for three weeks
learning MMA
he went
yeah I'm gonna go to Thailand
for a bit
a week later
he was like
I'm home
I didn't like it
and he got a tattoo
on his belly
he got a tattoo
in Liverpool
to prove
oh yeah
I got it in Thailand
yeah
and then passed
his exams
with flying colors because
he's a smart lad he felt stupid revising so he said he's gonna go it's like two curls of
revise just like yeah i'm going to thailand to learn to punch people's heads in anyway
yeah we're not even making that up and it sounds like we are yeah but that is what he did i seen
him the other day got any bullshit mates? I had one at school.
He used to lie quite a lot.
I think he said his dad ran Nike at one point
and then told us that he was friends with Britney Spears
and was going to bring in autographs from Britney Spears.
I feel like at your school, this is all believable.
Like if that was at my school, I'd be like,
no, you don't.
You're a cardinal, you know.
You can either be a mathematician or a cardinal you know you can either
be a mathematician or a murderer and you need to pick one of them what are we the britney spears
the britney spears autograph one is one of the lamest ones like everyone's gonna go oh my god
they are signed but he brought some in and they were all obviously completely different because
he tried to forge her signature have you you seen the conspiracy about Britney Spears?
Oh, no.
That it's her sister.
Have you seen?
Britney Spears is dead, right?
Is she?
Jamie.
Is it Jamie?
Yeah.
So there's a TikTok video, right,
where she's, like, doing, like, a... She's doing a bit of a sexy, like, dance or whatever.
She's going crazy.
And when she gets, like, here,
it's like a filter breaks.
But, like, her face changes for like half a second
and you can see
the person who's got the Britney Spears
filter on under it and it just looks like her sister
so allegedly
Britney
why would she be on TikTok?
why are you going to dead?
well she's either dead or you know tied up somewhere
or just do something on TikTok
yeah maybe
and your friend's
the fantasist
I just
I think
it's better to live
in a world
where conspiracies
are real Jack
do you know what I mean
and I
don't
but I have to
listen to a few
Bin Laden
did 9-11
boring
boring
too obvious
Britney Spears
did 9-11 no that's why Boring. Too obvious. Britney Spears. Britney Spears.
Did 9-11.
That's why she's dead.
That wouldn't be boring.
It wouldn't be boring.
We found out Britney Spears
orchestrated 9-11.
Yeah.
I know which bit of this
is getting cut.
I know.
The disparity in the lies as well
is quite grand, isn't it?
Between opening the Severn Bridge
with Prince Charles
and eating too much pizza in Pizza Hut.
That one I can buy.
That is possible.
On the buffet, there should be a rule
where you cannot be thrown out for eating too much pizza at the buffet.
It's an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Come on.
But that's the lie, isn't it?
He got chucked out for it.
So he must have...
No, genuinely, can you get thrown out of pizza
for eating too much god no can you just stay there all day no the buffet is limited like a two hour
limit don't they right okay can you take it out with you because you could just take loads of
pizza boxes in no you're not allowed to take it out uh they've got you yeah this guy must have
eaten a lot of pizza then okay right do you want one more one more yeah so this is from couple pow uh wag wag
lids one of my mates is getting married later this year and hasn't picked his first dance song yet
i'm trying to find the best worst song for him to use such as gold digger
and it wasn't me figured you guys could come up with some incredible options it was me so what do you think the best worst songs for a first dancer
any plans to get money jack uh yeah
have you got your first dance song is the one that you'd go for
i mean yeah i don't think i'd get much say in the choice of what that song would be
yeah i would definitely be like something that she wanted.
Like traditional.
Yeah, I would go with the flow, whatever she...
It's a really good tactic for weddings, isn't it?
Just keep it smooth.
The path of least resistance.
You have to pretend to like it.
Yeah.
You can't go, I don't care.
You're like, that's a good choice, actually.
What was your first dance, Dan?
There was a Van Morrison song
that went into Paul Simon,on call me out because we wanted
everyone to start dancing with us that's nice we did a little remix i feel like my missus would
probably pick something like cardi b wap or she loves all of that kind of music wow i don't think
you can be getting your nan up to sing wet ass but sorry you can't be like pulling your nans come on love come on you can't do that
I'd like a
like
like something
a dance that everyone knows
maybe like the cupid shuffle
because then everyone
gets up to do it
don't they
are you not doing
a dance on your own
no
oh yeah you start
with like 30 seconds
all the boring shit
but then you want
are you singing it
what was that
that was Cardi B
that was WAP you know what I mean you start with like one of the traditional boring ones but then you want something. Are you singing it? What was that? That was Cardi B.
That was WAP.
You know what I mean?
You start with like one of the traditional
boredom ones
but then it just goes
in.
With the cha-cha slide.
Cha-cha slide.
Oh.
Classic.
So you want to
choreograph first dance?
I'll do the 30 seconds.
I'll be learning to dance
before my first dance.
I'll be going to
dance lessons.
There's no chance
I'm going to be the guy like
three weeks in Thailand. You just have to to dance lessons. There's no chance I'm going to be the guy like...
Three weeks in Thailand.
You just have to do dance lessons.
You've danced in front of 7,000 people.
I know I have, but it's different.
It's like everyone's watching you dance.
They're all watching me, whatever.
But I want to learn a dance.
Oh, that's great.
Rather than me like awkwardly...
Yeah, but you don't want to be one of them cringy.
It's a bit tragic if it's too well rehearsed.
No, no, no.
I mean, like I learn
how to
how to you know
slow dance
the first dance is just
you're just basically
a cuddle with one
one arm up
it's not
you're not spinning
and like
it's not a tango
but it should be though
shouldn't it
that's well better
live in La Vida Loca
ah Adam's singing I'm out I'm'm gonna be so pissed by that point no i want to learn to dance i want
to look cool i don't want to be like because i'm not a good dancer at all a bit of this so i wanted
to learn how to at least move my feet yeah cardi b tell him cardi b cardi b email back ricky martin
once asked me to remove a joke from a script because I was doing
the Royal Variety Show
and he was on it
and I had a reference
when I brought him out
to saying the Queen
was about to be shaking
her bonbons
to the tunes of Ricky Martin
and he heard it in rehearsal
and asked me to remove it
because he thought
it was disrespectful.
To who?
To him or the Queen?
To the Queen.
Is he a spokesperson?
Yeah, what the hell? He's the only person i think that's ever asked me to remove a joke did he do live in la vida loca
he did live in la vida loca at the roll of the ice she bangs it's honestly amazing those shows
are just so mental like watching the queen sort of pretending to enjoy Ricky Martin.
I'm like, she's far more offended,
I'm sure, by your performance than anything that I'm going to say.
She loves a roast.
Right, shall we call it?
Is that the ep?
Yeah.
Go and see Jack on tour.
Jack is touring.

of Manchester

Liverpool's overrated
by the people who live here

stand by that
Manchester's overrated
by everyone
