It's not a derogatory stare.
I just think it's such,
it's probably the biggest I'm not from liverpool thing you could wear cool but i mean i've literally every every
time i've opened my mouth for the last three and a half years you're like you are so not from

The territorial army?
Yeah, who knows what's going to happen?
Yeah?
Nothing's happening in the world right now.
It's quite a safe world.
It's a tinderbox with Hamas and Israel.
You know, that's a worry.
When does that spill over to Coventry?
I don't know.
Anyway, when it kicks off,
no one's going to be able to see me,
apart from my hand.

Patents?
Yeah, Renaissance paintings.
Who thought?
For the majors?
Oh my God, I can only see hands.

I don't know what Renaissance painting is.
It's a painting from the Renaissance era.
Oh, well, if it's a painting.
The 60s. Alright, okay.
Someone in love.

No, no.
I've been doing this talk for fucking time.
Anyway, follow me.
No spitting.
Apart from on me, because I'm dirty.
Wow.
What's this woman's name?
I think I might have had too much caffeine
When you ordered an espresso
I was so confused
I think I've had too much caffeine
When you get an espresso
Do you normally get a single or a double?
Is that a double?
It was a double, yeah
Oh my lord
And I had a sugar-free rebel on the way
Heart palpitations yet?
No, but I feel fucking great
And that's life in the TA.
You know, I've got to be ready.
What?
What's your favourite gun?
What's my favourite gun?
Okay, not that I'm buying time.
Magnum P45.
Most powerful handgun in the world.
A Magnum in the TA?
Magnum P45.
That's when I shoot you.
You've got no job.
Have you ever done a gig for the TA?
I know you've done a gig for the returning soldiers,. Have you ever done a gig for the TA? I know you've done a gig for the returning soldiers,
but have you ever done a gig for the TA?
What?
Have you ever done any comedy for the TA?
What did I get?
I did that Christmas do.
No, you didn't.
Two years in a row.
I don't get a Christmas do.
They do.
They just meet up on Tuesday nights.
Fuck off.
I spent the millennium at the TA.
Do you know when we ticked over Y2K or La?
I was in the TA barracks celebrating.
I haven't even missed.
He's told me this before.
Why?
Right, there's two stories here.
But they're going to be equally TikTok'd.
Which one?
Which one are we telling first?
Go with Mr. Rob.
No, go on, Carl.
My brother was in the TA.
But what, Scary Paul?
I mean, he's not a Spice Girl, but yeah.
The big one?
Who's Sam and me, but I wouldn't fuck with?
Yeah, yeah, he was in the TA.
Right, okay.
Well, that's not...
Is he still in there?
No, he's grown up now.
How?
Whoa.
This was 23 years ago, wasn't it?
They need men for the TA.
What?
Don't they?
You mean he was in the cadets?
No, he was in the TA.
But the TA is adults.
You know what I mean?
No, but you look at me like,
lad, he's in his 40s.
There's no grown men who go to the TA in their 40s.
I hope not.
Are there?
Oh my God.
And I tell you what,
here's proof,
because he played to them at a Christmas game.
Do you think the TA is just like the under 21s?
No, I thought it was like,
it was something you did
and then you go into the real army
when you grow up.
No, it's like the Olympic football team.
It's mainly under 23s
with a couple of paedophiles.
That's what I mean.
No respected man in his 40s
goes,
we want TA.
Well, I did the Christmas do
two years in a row.
Oh, shit.
And the first year
I tried to take the piss out of them
for being in the TA
and not the army
and they do not like that
because they want respect
they're like
police community
support officers
in that they're like
you should respect me
the same level
as a police officer
but nobody does
but they've got no humour
about it
like we can laugh
about police community
support officers
but if you take the piss
out of one to their face
they're not a big fan of it
I did that the first year
and it did not work
and I bombed
for like
20 minutes
but you were ready
the only person
in the whole
room who's ever
dropped a bomb mate
a bunch of shit houses
joke
and then
the year after
I went back
because they asked
for me back
and they were like
yeah no
we liked him
he was just a bit
a bit much
a bit on the nose
but he thought
he was sound
so I
there's a great review of your comedy.
So I did it again,
and bombed again,
because I thought,
they've asked me back.
They probably liked it,
but just didn't want to laugh at the time.
So I was like,
ah, last year you didn't like it
when I called you all fucking toy soldiers,
did you?
You bunch of fucking little plastic green little army men.
And they were all like,
what are you doing, mate?
We gave you the second crack at this.
Like Ricky Gervais
at the Golden Globes
going back for more
isn't it their job to go
there's a war
that's their only point
like
no
they just go
hey real men
there's a war
no they get told
there's a war
no they see the war
happening and go
they run back to the army
and go boys there's a war
and then they stand behind
them
the messengers
where do you think
the TA are based
because it's a chill war
you know
they're not like
in war zones.
There was one in Daisy, wasn't there?
That's where they're lying to.
What, the Daisy TA?
Nailed.
Daysbrook.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're in the Daisy TA, mate.
Well, there's a new build of houses in Daysbrook
and all of the roads are named like Sergeant Way
and Corporal Corner.
named like Sergeant Way and Corporal Corner.
That alliteration,
Sergeant Way, you know.
You have to go for another one.
Sergeant Way,
Corporal Corner,
Commander Avenue.
Commander Avenue,
I think is one of them.
Yeah, like,
it's like Cadet Road as well.
Yeah.
Genuinely.
And there's bodies.
Waterboarding lane.
There used to be a, be a genuine training base there,
and it got knocked down to build these houses
because obviously it was peacetime.
Oh, and since then, they've been out just underground,
like the A-team.
But if you need help anywhere near Daisy,
you know who to call.
Carl's brother.
No?
Well, the thing is,
apparently a lot of weird things happen around there.
And my mate's autistic son screams blue man
every time they drive past it.
That's the Arctic Monkeys, definitely.
Come on.
My friend's autistic.
I nearly said blue son.
Go on.
Right, so what goes on that's weird?
I am high.
Apparently there's bodies under there. Yeah the the ta have buried the fuck are you talking about adam have you been told that
yeah so there's territorial territorial army ghost
no not the army the army put them there, mate.
Like Hank Schrader.
No, so, is it the real army that were there?
Or is it just the TA base? I've got to be honest with you, Dan.
My knowledge on this is limited.
It used to be a former TA barracks.
Do you reckon your brother killed anyone?
You haven't told me if he did.
Right.
He does make that noise.
They're not even allowed guns, though.
So how are they killing people?
Bare hands.
Oh, right, yeah.
Now, you're having a munch punch, everyone,
and you deserve it.
But let's train how you kill with a spoon.
Right?
So you finish your munch punch.
You're not wasting that.
The attacker's coming.
To the neck!
To the neck!
Kidney!
Kidney!
Finish your munch punch.
Yeah.
That's Tuesday night.
Bury the body under there.
Let me go to Tesco.
And no one will ever work out
when it's renamed
Human Burial Ground Road.
Hide in plain sight.
Unlike you lot,
you've got to hide, you know,
under things, around them.
Camouflage.
Don't hide in plain sight.
You'll get shot.
That's stupid.
That's the first rule of the TA
imagine doing that
in the army
I'm playing
I just said
blow
why are you wearing
that Liverpool away kit
Steve
I'm hiding in plain sight
they won't see me
it's bright yellow
you fucking knobhead
oh my god
the Russell Brands
I joined the TA
just for a laugh
we should do that
as a special
we all joined the TA
it will be particularly special
I did go a couple of times
when I was a kid
it's so good
that you got out alive man
I just didn't
the way they spoke to me
I just couldn't handle it
obviously
yeah
same here
I don't get it
like it's 2023 now.
It wasn't then.
That's what he said.
Hey, mate, it's 2023 in the future.
That's where you got chucked out.
Hey, what are you doing?
Corporal Row.
Hey, it's 2023.
It's fucking not.
It's 2001.
He's fucking mental!
He's either time travelling or he's fucking stupid!
He can't be trusted with a munchpunch, you know what I mean.
Dangerous.
What has to happen for them to get called up? Is that done now?
No, it's your spit.
Why would you not put your own spit back in your mouth?
Why didn't I just put it on the floor?
What has to happen for...
Do you want me to have some Diet Coke
and I'll dribble it into your mouth?
And I'll be like,
that's how the mummy bear feeds the chicks.
No, I don't want that.
I don't want that.
I mean, I like it when we're closer,
but that's too much.
Adam, as a former, what would you say?
Soldier.
Soldier.
A veteran.
Adam's had his veteran state.
I was having a free time.
Those police say it.
I was an internet free time.
Thank you for your service.
And do you have any allergies?
Stolen valour.
There's no need for the way these fucking Sergeant Major guns speak to people.
Like Sergeant Majors?
Yeah.
Hey, you do this!
It's like, say please.
Well, it's just because you've got a better act than me.
You get to talk to me like shit.
Fuck off, John.
I think it's fair to say that the Army Cadets,
if they're sort of trying to filter out who's going to be suited
to actually serving in the armed forces,
did a job there with you, didn't they?
If you'd have ended up in that sign-up office,
I think it would have been a fucking nightmare.
You'd have maybe got four days
into like basic training
and then just gone.
Nah.
I need the last week of July off, John.
Going to Mykonos.
We're at war, Adam. I don't give a fuck, mate. It's all inclusive. Is the war in Mykonos. Hey, Sergeant Major. We're at war, Adam.
I don't give a fuck, mate.
It's all inclusive.
Is the war in Mykonos?
Because I'll go.
Can I be put somewhere that's got an all-inclusive war-wise?
All-inclusive war.
World War II?
Nine to five, Monday to Friday.
I'm going to need the weekends to myself.
But Adam, what has to happen for the TA to be called into action?
They have to be...
I think they are literally
ground war.
Like,
if people come to the UK,
this is our territory.
So they never go abroad.
It's all,
it's only if it ends up here
and
I am making all this up
on the spot by the way
but I feel like I'm right.
Yeah.
Even though no one's
ever told me this,
I feel like I'm right.
Go on.
I think it's our territory,
so they have to be here
and it has to be like last resort.
Like they've, you know.
Yeah.
All the army's dead.
Oh, hang on.
If we get invaded
and there's actually people on the ground,
it's not last resort.
The TA will be literally jizzing their knickers.
This is what we train for.
They'll be in.
I even think the TA go on deployment abroad, you know.
I think.
My brother went to Gibraltar.
I remember that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it was great.
Yeah, defend the rock.
Totally irrelevant.
Just to defend the rock.
He was there as well.
Him and Kevin Hart.
Now we've got a special job coming. Paul, we need a bodyguard for the rock. And Kevin Hart now we've got a special job coming
Paul
we need a bodyguard
for the rock
and Kevin Hart
what win is it
Gibraltar
I bring a lot of munch bunch
it's gonna kick off
he's a big star
and we just
Spanish people going
please
can we have your bag please
it's definitely ours
and everyone like
no it's not
it's our rock
why is it ours
what
because it's at the it's
at the point where spain and africa it's like the thinnest point of the entry to the mediterranean
what tenerife no that's way off in the atlantic isn't it well that was spain and africa no you're
as in the north coast of africa gets very so you if you control that bit you control the
mediterranean so we were like, we've got British people there.
That's ours.
And I don't know how we've managed to keep it.
Is it still ours?
Yeah.
Sick.
So I can just go there?
Yeah.
Passport free?
Yeah.
No.
What?
Shaking heads.
You can't fly to Gibraltar passport free?
Would you not just need ID?
Shut up, James.
You can if you threaten the people at the airport.
There you go.
Or you've got your own plane.
You can fly anywhere if you threaten well enough.
I'm going to America.
Well, I haven't got a passport.
There's a gun.
And I'm eating a munch punch,
so be fucking warned.
Yeah, but you give them your gun.
What?
You have two guns.
Yeah, that is a mistake, isn't it?
Yeah, that's the unwanted one.
It's me, Bazooka.
Fly the plane, cunt.
Yeah, if you threaten anyone with a gun,
don't put it down and go,
look at that, touch that.
What's that?
A gun.
And I've got it.
Oh, you're holding it now.
Touche.
I think we all joined some kind of armed forces.
Navy.
Oh, I'm definitely one.
RAF.
Oh, hang on.
I'm one Air Force.
Why?
Well, my granddad and my uncle are in the Air Force.
You can barely drive your car.
Never mind.
What do you mean?
I'm the best driver here.
Clearly.
What are you pointing at me for?
I drive a lovely time with my car.
That's what I'm talking about.
Drive a lovely time?
I drive a lovely time.
Beep boop.
No, you're not allowed to fly a jet.
I wonder if there's any course records I could break in the sky.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, there will be.
I mean, there's every course record
if you just make them up
and pretend you've broken them.
That's the way to do it, isn't it?
You told me I'd broken it.
I know.
Because you couldn't beat me.
I know.
Damn that new watch.
The Red Bull Air Race.
I think that's a track in the sky, isn't it?
They just do,
they like have little one-seater,
really fucking nifty little ones.
They're all,
they're higher on caffeine than I am right now
and they go
what
fucking what
they're an inflatable
you can't crash into walls
in the sky
you what
well you can
I mean famously
you can
you can yeah
yeah
it'd be good marketing
for Red Bull though
what's sponsoring
9-11
that'd be the new one
11-11
the 11th of November or
I don't know
that's the only way that can be
fucking stupid Americans with the backwards dates
Etta tried to kill me
what?
my six year old
tried to kill me
is that a new podcast is that yes spoon yeah not with a spoon
we don't give that bitch munch punch she's not trained um she lost her temper so much
i genuinely saw in her eyes that if she'd have had a weapon she'd have used it against me
what did she do never what was the attempt it was tuesday night it was she was the most revved up i've ever
seen her her and her mate jasmine come back from school and then they go to this dance thing so
she's already keyed up because she's got a bezo and they are little bezos it's really cute jack
gets hyped up because he's like fucking hell so it's just tuesday nights is bedlam and they went
to the dance thing they did it and they come back and it was just hyped.
But Jack was pretty chill and Jasmine was pretty chill. It was just Etta that was like fucking keyed up.
And I heard a mum...
Do you think she's found your coke stash?
Oh my God, that would be instant divorce.
I did have some edibles in the house the other week,
but I was like, what damage could that do?
It's just a big nap in it.
She, which honestly at the time i would
have loved to just force feed her edibles she needed it so it was just etta i heard her mum go
could you just chill out stop screaming she was screaming she was so excited this is just in the
house and then i like i'm stepping in going i'm like the second line of defense i came in i was
like etta darling stop screaming i've heard you be
worn five times i've had i've had to now tell you three times it got to the fourth time one point
she was so revved up and i was like i'm not going in like shouting i was like darling just calm down
everyone's chilled jasmine's chilled jack's chilled you're revved up she was like no like i don't know what was going on she
was either tired or sugared up or just too excited and i was like listen otherwise you're just going
to bed now and you're not even going to get to say goodbye to jasmine who's getting picked up in a
minute she was like no and then she said something to laura and i can't remember exactly what it was
like laura warned her and she was like no i won't and i went right cool you're going and it's the first time i've ever had to be like i was like right you're going upstairs and she was like Laura warned her. And she was like, no, I won't. And I went, right, cool, you're going. And it's the first time I've ever had to be like,
I was like, right, you're going upstairs.
And she was like, no, I'm not.
And I was like, I just thought me standing up,
she was on the stairs.
I thought me just standing up and going, right,
you're going would make her go, oh shit, yeah, I will go.
And she just went, no, and sort of just like planked.
And I was like, I was like, oh oh so we're never physical with the kids obviously
we've never had to be she's only fucking six right but you remember as a kid as a kid you
don't want to do it but you want the threat to be there in shadow box i'll just faint so my dad
never smacked us on i don't know where you're like my mum never hit us my dad never smacked us on... I don't know where you're... My mum never hit us.
My dad never touched me.
No, he didn't.
My dad was scared of me.
My dad used to lift my arm up
so I was stretched
and then hit the back of my legs.
Finn.
Huh?
Sorry, Dan.
What did you just whisper to me, Finn?
My dad hit me with a lightsaber.
That's a podcast.
A real one.
No.
Toy one.
He said to me,
my dad battered me.
With a lightsaber.
Oh.
But it's the force.
Were you having like a fucking zoom?
Or was it like you'd done something wrong
and he was getting you?
Was he rough with your brother and your sister?
Or was it just you that got that?
Are we doing therapy?
What's his name again?
Memo.
Darth Memo.
I am your father.
I am your father.
Just the Turkish way, innit?
Yeah.
Do you know what?
There's been a lot of acceptance
of some of your dad's bullshit
from just going,
he's Turkish.
So, what's the Turkish army?
Use lightsabers.
No, but...
Here's a question.
Was the lightsaber yours or his?
Do you know what the best bit was?
It was a red one. It was a dark side one. I was going to say, is it red? Yeah, it was... Was it yours or his? Do you know what the best bit was? It was a red one
It was a dark side one
I was going to say, is it red?
Yeah, it was
Was it yours or his?
It was Count Dooku
That's a good question
Was it yours or his?
Right, I'm going to get lightsaber
He talks like that
Was it yours or his?
Is he Northern Turkish?
Yeah, yeah
You're right
Listen, it's a bit different for me
Was it your dance lightsaber?
Like, he's the equivalent of Bristol
I think it was, know right well in turkey uh
no it was my lights i was scared of my dad and i don't want i ever want my kids to be scared of me
and i don't think i think you're right i don't think etta is scared enough yeah because i like
like lifted her and forced up says then she just gave up and she sort of ran to her room
and i was like get in your room and then she sort of ran to a room and i was like get
in your room and then she started trying to open the door and i was like you're just gonna have to
do a timeout but she wouldn't have stayed in the room so she kept opening the door so i was literally
in the door and i was like you are i'm now shouting which i don't do a lot i was like you are staying
in this room and she started running at me have you seen on online those one-on-one drills in the nfl yeah or in like
school football where they get one player one player one's got the ball and you're you're in
a corridor and you've just got to twat through or get past the next person she tried it five times
in a row and i swear by the fifth time there was like a fucking craziness in her eyes where she was
just fucking running to me
and uh i honestly think she would have if if she'd have gone cool this is like a an axe she's like
oh i've got to use that's why you don't give six-year-olds axes what's a punishment so that's
gonna last a week for me so i ended up like cage doesn't seem like such a bad idea now does it
oh man yeah so i closed the door and stayed on the landing
jack is now old enough that he he gets that this is a major boot off but i could also tell that he
was like that bitch in trouble so jack came up and he was like he was like literally like
crying i was like she is and i know that she's now listening she's like wailing like a
fucking like a widow like she's so angry at this point finn's that and where's my light
and he was on the you could tell he was like i'm good though aren't i yeah i'm probably your
favorite what do you want to do do you want to play or something i don't know i need to be within earshot just to hear how badly this goes but i'm pretty chilled out
i've never seen her that fucking angry and then laura had to go in and and at one point she was
still so upset that she tried to throw herself off the bed it's the most mental like temper i've
ever seen and she's six And I fear for our futures
because when hormones hit,
it's going to be unbelievable.
And what's your punishment?
So Laura is like,
you know, the hostage negotiator.
She's like the one.
Sean Connery?
Yeah.
I can't do that.
I'm not good at it.
And also it was me and her that had the kickoff.
So Laura went in
and basically gave her a more controlled bollocking like went in and went that is unacceptable you
tried to basically hit daddy and that is never acceptable and she was still upset she did a good
sort of 10 minutes of calming her down and then etta came into me to say sorry and hugged me crying but it was one of
them hugs where you're like she really was like she just lost control i've i've never seen anything
like no dancing next week so i'd say jasmine's not coming around yeah there's gonna be some
consequence it should be there was a tuck shop uh the next day they do like a weekly tuck shop
at the school and she didn't get any money
for that.
But now I'm thinking
it's probably not
enough punishment.
You're not going dancing
next week
and Jasmine's not coming around.
And you've got to
make me a lovely
cake.
Right.
Yeah.
From scratch on your own.
No help, no recipe.
No eggs.
Until you bring me
a perfect cake
this punishment continues.
No dancing for you mate
so that's been grounded
for 11 years
I honestly
if I had to make a cake
that a six year old mate
that would be more punishment
for me than anyone
yeah you're gonna clean the kitchen
never seen anything
I'm genuinely
it was like
oh fuck I'm quite scared of
she needs to learn
that that baby
will not fly
in Cassidy Nightingale
yeah
unbelievable good luck
everyone did you win the good luck when you're dealing with this i'll have kids that hate me
it'll be great wallace is dead easy just pick them up i know but you're definitely having
babbitt soon aren't you i love it by the way that is the thing that i've seen a lot so on the special
do you remember i pointed at daddy daniel Do you remember? In the gift shop.
It's two things.
It says Daddy Daniel.
But in the special,
you only see me pointing at Daddy.
So I was like,
Colin, sorry, are you pregnant?
We're not.
Did everyone think you were doing an Easter egg?
Loads of people think we're having a baby.
I promise you we're not.
We're not trying.
It's twins! Twins!
I'm calling them adam and adam two girls no we're not having a baby and we might not ever have babies so if you hold no hope yeah but you might not ever get married oh that's right you are
yeah bit of a difference though and that's one day babies are like 21 god you're gonna be a great dad
and you are gonna be a dad i can't wait to be there for it.
In eight months.
From five months earlier,
I've got twins.
Four weeks.
I don't want babies right now.
No, you don't.
I'm not.
Are you feeling eight months
when they're here?
Biological clocks are ticking.
Not mine.
And this is the best bit.
When you have kids,
Adam will get jealous
and then he'll want kids.
He'll have kids before me, if he has kids.
We've all spoken about this.
This is a deep chat, isn't it?
On the train home from London,
we spoke about how much we want kids in a percent wise
and they've both dropped a lot in the last...
Mine hasn't dropped a lot.
I think a year or two ago, I was absolutely non-negotiable.
I am having children.
And now I'm like, I really want children and now I'm like I really want them
but I'm like 95%
rather than 100
it's still really up there
but like
it wouldn't be
if it never happens now
I wouldn't be like
that's a massive shock
just because of how things
have gone
and how my life has gone
but
do I definitely still want them
yeah
is it an absolute
non-negotiable
not quite but it is still nearly there it's the greatest thing I've ever done in my life do I definitely still want them? Yeah. Is it an absolute non-negotiable?
Not quite,
but it is still nearly there.
It's the greatest thing I've ever done in my life.
And I've done a lot of fun stuff.
And not that it isn't.
Yeah,
that's true.
Hopefully no one at the Philharmonic tries to kill me five times.
But when I was younger,
I always like,
even when I was at my most,
like I was going out and getting wrecked on the weekends. And I was like,
yeah,
I want to be a dad one day. And there's not a lot of lads i've met in their 20s who are
like yeah i want to be a dad not that there aren't and there will be some but you like you've since
i've known you and since we've been talking like especially since we've been doing the podcast
you're like yeah i want to be a dad one day and i know 95 is less it's still a fucking landslide
and there just comes a point
that when you're with someone
you get to an age
where you start
just doing the math
on the fucking
the
the clock
exactly but
no pressure
no pressure
right now my
our percent
because we're
a team
is
20%
well
and I could change it a year
we could go
do you know what
do you want to do some babysitting
I've
I've
what do you do Tuesday nights
because they're a problem evening
for us at the moment
I love kids
I've got a niece
who I love
I love her so much
but like
it's different
you get to look after them
it's great being an uncle though
isn't it
yeah
because I get to do all the sick stuff
and I'm the cool uncle
I've got a lovely dog she loves
but
I just can't be arsed with a kid like at 4am go and give me a bevy no i'm a kip yeah about an hour's enough a couple
of hours is enough in it yeah 4am i'm hungry so am i
bollocks mate that that's the bit i don't want i've shit me kegs belter deal with it and make
me a cake in two separate moves.
I just don't want my life.
I'm very happy and content with my life right now.
And getting a puppy, I know you joke about it.
It's still adding a bit of difficulty to your life.
No, mate, totally.
Throwing a baby in there when you're happy.
My boy's been born.
Yeah, exactly.
But trust me, it's hard.
I know it is.
Having a puppy is naughty.
You've had one for a couple of days
famously
I've had many dogs
six last year
erm
alright
do you want to do it
woah
yeah what
you
honestly

Wait, what, what?

Famously.
It's offside.
Oli's saying check it.
Check complete.
Check complete.
No red card.
No serious foul play. You can't check for the yellow, can you? No, but I'm saying you can check it to upgrade. Check complete. No serious foul play.
You can't check

can you?
No, but I'm saying
you can check it to upgrade.
I'm saying no serious foul play.
It's just the yellow.
I'll take the yellow.
You can't take a yellow
off of your dog.
I don't agree with your decision,
but I can't overrule it.
Only three of them were dogs.
What?
Foul play.

This is the history of zip wires.
We did Pilly Palace as well.
Pilly Palace is the little,

Butterfly place.
But it translates to Butterfly Palace.
Can I just say?
Yeah.
Been to Anglesey a few times.

I don't really remember it.
It's an indoor zoo.
Are you more into the limo?

Don't do cocaine

But there's a nice play area outside.
I honestly think
Pilly Palace is pretty good.
Remember when we used to play 40 car?
It was good that way.
Yeah, but you didn't get taken
on a school trip
to just play 40, did you?
Probably.
Probably at some point, yeah.
Yeah, if you're in the school team,
that's essential, that is.
French exchange,
the cigarette factory
on the French exchange,
famously,
that might be the weirdest point.
That's arty monkeys, come on.
What are you talking about?
They don't make sense
as words together.
We went on a French exchange,
this was 1823.
You went to France?
We went to...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Your tiny little nipples
went to France.
What? Your tiny little nipples went to France. What? Your tiny
little nipples went to France. And the president visited today.
No. Is it?
I don't get it. What is it? Which reference?
Come on. You know that one.
Do I? It's Bruce Almighty.
The prime minister of
Sweden visited Washington today
and my tiny little nipples went to
France.
In my head,
I was like,
I was like,
that is a weird episode
of Two Pints of Lager.
I like her.
Do.
Cha-cha.
Let's go on.
French exchange.
I mean,
cigarette something.
Yeah,
we went to the cigarette factory
it sounds like you got trafficked
no they let us out
why did you go to
did you stay at some French person's house then
yeah yeah yeah
Veronique
what are French fags like
they are rough
like hard to smoke
I'm not even joking
they're fucking grim
hang on
you went to a French cigarette factory
and you all had a puff on some ciggies?
We went to Mrs. Finch,
who was French,
and married a British person,
so she was like,
Hello, my name is Mrs. Finch.
Right?
She took us on the French exchange
to Chateauroux.
Right?
Chateauroux.
You got blood in you still?
Oh, you got some Chateauroux there.
Lovely. Hang on, you went to some Chatteroo there. My lovely.
Hang on, you went to Chatteroo and had some French fags?
Me, Bondi, Alistair was there, the boys.
How old were you?
I was 15, 14, 15.
And it was all Biff Decentral.
Year 10.
And they were like, cool, on Wednesday,
it's the cigarette factory.
So we all went in,
and you literally go around the whole production line.
So this is like leaves.
And I was like, cool,
I'm going to nick everything along the line.
So I'll be able to make my own fags.
Not realizing that the end of the tour,
they take you into the boardroom and go,
who has parents that smoke?
And literally we all looked at each other and went,
like the whole class.
Mrs. Finch was like,
I am not sure everyone's parents smoke.
Mrs. French.
And we got 18 83 cigarettes each.
This is the 1800s.
What the fuck?
This was 1995.
Paul Rydell's Manchester United won.
Yeah.
And then we all were like,
cool, now you've got some free time.
So we went round the back of the bibliotech
or somewhere and tried the cigarette
and they were literally unsmokable.
It's the worst cigarettes I've ever...
Were you a smoker at that point?
Yeah, we all smoked.
What's going on?
None of our parents smoked.
How old were you?
15.
You all smoked and went to a French cigarette factory?
14.
Yeah.
Do you know, on the 95 thing,
and I say this just because you brought it up,
there's a famous Liverpool song that we sing against Everton
and it'll be sung this week because we're playing Everton,
which is, you haven't won a trophy since 1995, right?
We won the Florida Cup, actually.
Yeah, it's a big one.
The other day I was in...
Is that the Florida property thing?
Yeah, it's like we won half against...
We played on the roundabouts at Chilwell Five Ways,
and Everton won it.
Yes.
The other day
coming back from
St Helens
me Alfie and Jack
stopped at a
McDonald's
and the woman
like someone wasn't
collecting that order
you know when they
shout the number
and she kept going
95
and then I got my
phone out
and was videoing it
and trying to time it
so that I could go
you know I haven't won
a trophy
since 19
and not once did I get it right.
And then the second I stopped recording it
was the second it would have worked as well.
Damn.
Always the way.
Yeah, we went to Paris just for the trip.
That sounds nice.
We're on a coach though.
Okay.
What did you do in Paris?
All the things you'd expect.
Oh, just all the classics?
Yeah.
Disneyland.
Yeah, Disneyland.
You went to the slate
factory and his school went to disneyland paris unlucky there mate yeah yeah we were just smoking
fucking pharma fags i've said if you went to iceland that was lovely not to shop this country
yeah what kind of posh fucking school did you go to you've seen it's full of murders i didn't go to
any of these places by the way we couldn't afford it.
How did you get these school trips?
Threats.
So year five was Paris
and year ten was Iceland.
We went to Beatrix Potter's house.
Oh I've been there
in the lakes.
No.
It was in
We've been lied to then.
No.
Maybe she had more gaffes mate.
She's doing well.
She's doing well.
Yeah.
I tried venison
for the first time.
They gave us venison burgers that's all I remember
sorry
and we held an eagle
right
that was all one day
sounds better than
the slate factory
just
the slate factory
was also going to
visit Menai Bridge
and walk across it
school was
your school
sounds bad
sounds like
your school
that sounded like
that was the most fun
we were having in school, though.
Did you have girls in your school at all?
Yeah.
So we didn't have girls.
You had to give us a son.
What, Iceland?
Yeah.
That's a fucking decent deal, isn't it?
Yeah.
It was a geography trip.
Cool.
Fucking hell.
Where did you go again?
Colomendi and like...
The one I didn't do was Allswater.
Colomendi, Hlandudno, and All's Water
were years four, five, and six in my little school.
Is Colomendi one of them, like, adventure places?
It's just a shit hole in North Wales.
Oh, right, no.
Did you do, like, what was the ones that was round here?
Go Ape and that.
Like, Nampy H.
We did Pentreflin Comet, which was, like, speaking English.
We did Half a Lillian Bear Flume Flume. We did Havliljimbeflumflum.
So one day you're going to have a stroke out there
and no one's going to notice.
We did Heslipofan.
That sounds like Bruce Almighty.
Hali...
Pentchalinkumma.
Pentchalinkumma was like...
Shut up.
It's like half an hour from Rill.
It's like by Demby.
And you like go for sleepover
and then you do like kayaking.
Yeah, that was Columendi
yeah yeah yeah
we did PGL
that's yeah
that's what I think
somewhere near Shrewsbury
yeah we did a PGL
I actually did that
right
let's do some pet peeves
yes
oh I'm ready
that doesn't have to
do my head in
it's such a good jingle
that one
it's from Alex Charles pet peeve people not putting the trolley It's such a good jingle, that one.
It's from Alex Charles.
Pet peeve.
People not putting the trolley back in the trolley spaces when you're trying to park your car.
Nope.
We've had it before.
Have we?
Have they put their trolleys in the car parking space?
Yeah.
I've just left it in the one next to it.
That doesn't happen in my local Tesco, so I can't hear it.
Very respectful Tesco.
Finley Gross Fills.
Cool.
When you get given
a limited amount
of condiment
for your food
and you somehow
end up over rationing
and having too much
for your final mouthful.
Yeah,
that is annoying.
So when you,
what,
you get given
a little sauce pot
and you're trying
to ration yourself
so you're only having
a little bit.
Just ask for more sauce
and stop being a shithouse.
No,
that's not a pet peeve, that's you being a shithouse. No, that's not a pet peeve.
That's you being a shithouse in a restaurant.
I did that yesterday
with a Nutella Go.
Yeah.
Got like a choc dip.
You can't ask for more of that.
It's difficult to ration
a choc dip.
Yes.
Do you know what I mean?
Just get another choc dip.
No, but then you've got
this more chocolate.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, to get the stick
to chocolate ratio
is difficult.
I just think you need
to work on your rationing.
That's on you.
I've always said that.
I'll just go five guys where you can just make your own.
What's your biggest flaw, mate?
Rationing.
Carl, do you want to give a go at this name?
You ready for this name?
It's gone.
It's gone on the floor, Joe.
Are you still on caffeine high or is it crashed?
I might get another caffeine.
Is it crashed?
If I'm enjoying wordplay that much,
something's right or very wrong.
This is from Gus Echiech Tarka.
Oh, Gus Echiech Tarka.
Didn't know you don't call us like that.
Salaam alaikum.
Alaikum salaam.
Don't pretend to be fucking...
Oh, to be fair, I was.
Is that also with you?
Yeah.
People who have sat behind you on the plane
and grabbed the top of your seat every time
when they get up and sit down.
I can't help it.
You fat-headed twat.
I can't help it.
Blow their heads off.
You do do that.
I know.
Oh, God, I need to get my back.
Fucking bellends.
Expensive, them.
No, it's not that.
I'm just holding it
so that I've got something to hold on
after plane crashes.
No.
No, no, it doesn't mean that
when you're getting up
to go to the toilet.
Oh!
No, mine's just like,

down stairs.
Man wants a new chair.
Shit.
And they're awful.
The old guy behind me

Also,
I love leaning my chair back.
Fat-handed like,

Idiot.
I love leaning my chair back,
but if the person in front of me
dares lean their chair back,
I fucking hate them. Yeah, but if you lean back, of me dares lean their chair back, I fucking hate them.
Yeah, but if you lean back,
you need them to lean back.
It all works, doesn't it?
No.
No.
It's either one person does or everyone.
Yeah.
If the person in front of me
leans their chair back,
right,
it is a war zone
for the whole fight.
I'm gone.
At that point,
if I'm behind you
and you've lent your chair back,
I'm like,
oh, sorry,
we just need to get to the point.
That's what I had. Yeah. That's what I had. I hate it, but I'm doing you and you've lent your chair back I'm like oh sorry mate just need to get to the fucking toilet here that's what I have

Yeah.
Cuvillers.
It's like Gullivers with a C. Do you know what's done my head in his job, he probably knew how to pronounce your name. Yeah. Kvillas. It's like Gulliver's with a K.
Do you know what's done my head in about that?
When he said, welcome back.
Like, you know I've never been on this fucking business class
before you've come.
Look at the fucking state of me.
I'm wearing jeans on a long-haul flight.
I'm an amateur.
Welcome back.
8,000 jeans, man.
Right.
I wear shorts every day to go to my tour shows.
By the way.
And change in and out of them for the gig.
I have just remembered my favourite bit of that flight
when we were in business class
on the way to Nashville.
We all got bored of sleeping.
Fuck knows what time it was.
We were all weird and discombobulated
and the three of us
all just had a little hangout
with a business meeting.
Oh God!
With a business meeting.
It was fucking brilliant.
We decided to buy a venue.
Hello everyone.
It's David here. I assume you're having a podcast meeting. I do listen. to buy a venue. Hello, everyone. It's David here.
I assume you're having a podcast meeting.
I do listen.
I'm a Patreon.
I've just subscribed
because that's part of the service in business class.
Would you like me to take minutes for the meeting?
All right.
It's like having a sky, Matthew.
And that woman was walking around.
Remember that being horrible.
Oh, she had...
She was very good at her job, is what I remember.
Do you know I vaped on that flight?
I know you did.
Sky vapers!
I had a little vape.
Sky vapers.
That's the mild high club.
No, it wasn't.
It wasn't.
It was just like smoke. It wasn't weed. It's vape. It's a mild high, though No, it wasn't. It wasn't. It was just like smoke.
It wasn't weed.
It's vape.
It's a mild high though, isn't it?
Nicotine?
Yeah.
Nicotine is a mild high.
That's the definition of it.
We have enough of it.
Oh my God.
Snuzz.
Like all the footballers.
Oh, it just hurts your teeth, doesn't it?
Yeah, but all the footballers love it.
Cool.
This is from Jamie Connor.
Small annoyance.
He's changed the name of the feature.
When you've all pulled your Christmas crackers
and you're ready to tuck into your scranton,
then everyone starts reading out the shite jokes one by one.
You're the most miserable cunt that's ever written in.
Part of the fun, isn't it?
You know what I hate?
Christmas and the traditions around it.
That's what I want.
I want to eat my dinner in silence on Christmas Day.
Yes.
Who the fuck's that
oh
Dan do you have Christmas crackers
with your nachos
yeah
I don't
yeah
since Jack's been born
I don't eat Christmas dinner

Oh yeah.
So you're going to see Seneca on an episode.
Oh,

Yeah.
She's going to be on the,
the Christmas special we do again.
She's going to come and say hello.
Nice.
Don't tell Laura that.
Right.
Last one.
This is from Gary.
Pet peeve.
Old people in general.
Slow as fuck at everything.
Yeah.
Oh, but I miss my Nana.
We all do.
No, do you miss her?
She was a great shag.
Sorry.
Oh, Daniel.
I really do.
I thought about that the other day.
I saw some old people just doddering around town.
I had a great day yesterday.
If Laura hadn't have come into town yesterday with me,
I haven't drunk for so long
that that sounded like a sniff, didn't it?
Yeah.
Sorry.
I'd have got pissed.
I'd have got pissed.
I was so tempted to have two pints last night,
but I need to be six.
And I saw some old people
just fucking doddering around with the same haircut.
And I was like, oh.
Just pushed them in the seat.
Just a couple with,
and just dead old and doddery.
And I was like, it didn't make me annoyed. They were just a couple with, and just dead old and doddery. And I was like,
it didn't make me annoyed.
They were just like,
they couldn't even navigate
like the door of next or something.
And I was like, oh,
I miss my Nana and Grandad.
Like they were having some banal conversation.
No, you miss them being younger.
You don't miss them being old.
I don't miss them being super, super old,
but my Nana was pretty much nailing it
till about 90.
I know.
Oh, she was smashing it.
Till she was about 90.
Grandad went a bit weird.
He got like a bladder infection when he was 86
and he was never quite the same.
How do you think you should be able to assassinate them at ATMs?
I'd like to rent someone's Nana.
Honestly, why don't we just do like an Airbnb for Nanas?
Has anyone got any left?
Because they're lonely.
No one wants to see the Nana all the time. Have you got one left? Because they're lonely. No one wants to see the nanna all the time.
You got one left?
I've got one.
Oh, not your Turkish one.
I'm not fucking reading.
I've got a Spanish one somewhere, maybe.
Nuna Nana.
Baba Anna.
Baba Anna 2 guy.
Why don't you do the news?
Nina Nana.
I'd love it.
Let's do Rent-a-Nan.
Oh, it'd be great.

I was there.
We're going to give some advice.
That sounds a bit guilty of you there.
Yeah, yeah.
Advice?
Oh, I'd love to give some advice.
Let me just think about it.
Yes, I would.
Adam and Dan and Carl and Finn to a lesser extent,
but he's pretty bit doing quite well with the prep.
If you want to do it, you'll be fine. I'm sorry? If you don't do it right through time. Agony Adam. but he's pretty doing quite well with the prep unnecessary
go on
this is from
an anonymous dad
hi lids
need some advice
I coach a lads
under 11s football
team on the weekend
which my son
plays in goal for
he's not massively
athletically gifted
shall we say
he's a bit lumpy
and we've lost more than a couple of games due to the goalkeeping errors,
as lots of kids' footy teams do.
But he's getting better.
Oh, God.
That's emotional.
This is how I knew when you were younger.
Oh, the fat goalkeeper.
It was him?
This is from my dad.
The only problem is this new Lithuanian lad has recently asked to join the team,
and he plays in goal.
He came to training dead lanky and towering over the other lads.
In the second half of the Sunday league game we played,
he got man of the match for saving a penalty.
The lad is special,
but my lad had to stand on the sides with me
after halftime and then blame me
when we got home for replacing him.
What do I do, lads?
I can't destroy my lad like that.
You can't.
And I feel awful,
but also it's clear who should be playing in goal
and that we could go on to win the league.
Any advice?
There's a six foot four Lithuanian.
Grow up.
Literally.
Your son's just going to have to learn the hard way
that sometimes life isn't all fucking rainbows
and blowjobs, sunshine.
You know?
Don't tell him.
You're on the bench.
Don't tell him.
Future EDL member here, isn't it?
A foreigner came over and took your job.
It's not good
but look
what you're gonna
gonna bench
gotta play the Lithuanian kid
he's gonna win you more points
your son's shite
by the sounds of it
you should be honest with him though
that's me
listen lad
look
you're the big fucking lump
and he's not
you know what I mean
get you the yo-yo
if you want though
you'd love a yo-yo
wouldn't you
let's get you a yo-yo
what if the Lithuanian lad
gets injured in a cup final
and he has to come on
like Loris Karius
and his confidence is shot?
Then it is what it is.
Did you get dropped
for being a fat keeper?
No, I was the best keeper
in our league.
I have seen...
He has scored a goal.
I was.
I wonder what would have happened
if I'd have played up front
against you
because I was the best striker
in my league.
Clean sheet, mate.
That's what we'd have.
What league?
Unstoppable Forbes.
What league? Adam Adam Rose fantasy football
the night time dreamy dream league
what a goal
how many goals is Adam going to score tonight
five goals
all in front of the cop in the first half
and the second half as well
because we just played one way because it's Adam's dreamy time
50 goals
Real Madrid
at home every game top of the league top scorer night night Adam Adam's dreamy time. Fancy goal. Real Madrid.
At home.
Every game.
Top of the league.
Top scorer.
Night-night, Adam.
Boo!
Do you know what?
Jo and I couldn't sleep.
Jo and you were kidding.
You didn't want to go to sleep.
You were tired,
but you couldn't be arsed.
My aunt would go,
she'd whisper in my ears,
thinking I was asleep.
Maybe this is insane.
And she'd be like, I can't sleep. Just think of England. Maybe this is insane. And she'd be like,
I can't sleep.
Just think of England.
Think of Everton.
How the fuck's that going to help me sleep?
Think of England?
Isn't that what people say to women
who don't want to shag their husbands?
Just think of England.
Think of England.
She'd go,
think of Everton.
I'd be like,
the shit?
You're stressing me out.
It doesn't mean that.
Yeah, but you're gonna
win the Florida Cup
oh yeah
this is me nan
and then
95
to tell her
to stop talking
because I couldn't sleep
think of England
I'd pretend to be asleep
and then apparently
if you're whispering
someone's ear
when they're a kip
it does things
so she'd start whispering
in my ears
and I'd be like
oh your nan yeah what
would she whisper like i don't know like you're good at sleeping aren't you
your nan's a fucking psycho
i'm going to sleep in you like hey you're such a good little sleeper aren't you
she's trying to put a blue ribbon in your ear Come on you're hungry
Have a cup of tea
I pour it in
Carl's got another ear infection
You can sleep
Stop worrying about sleeping
She was doing
She was doing Nana based ASMR
Yeah is that a thing?
Like whispering in people's ears
And they keep googling her
It is
You're freaking Anna
No
Thinking of Everton
Probably like that doesn't help me
Because they're excited Because I love to fussy They brought me down I'll be a kip in seconds no thinking of Everton probably like that doesn't help me because I get that excited
because I love to fussy
you block me down
I'll be a kip in seconds
with all of Everton
these are thoughts
think about Everton's
nil nil draw
at West Brom
four weeks ago
remember how shit that was
off you go
sleep love
have a nice rest
what's come up is
sleep hallucinations
so
maybe it wasn't real
yeah
I don't think it was real
you were dreaming about your
nan whispering in your ear no it's definitely awakening to do me i feel like going do you know
how stupidly counterproductive this is i can't sleep when you're talking to me
r.i.p imagine if you said that to your nan
so is this your advice to this guy?
He's got a whisper in his son's ear.
You're great in gold.
You're fat, get.
Oh, right, okay.
The Lithuanian's well better than me.
Be more Lithuanian, you stupid little lumpy cunt.
Solved.
Be more Lithuanian.
Great bit of advice.
He wakes up like...
What's Lithuania famous for?
Come on, Finn.
It's one of the Baltic states.
Is it?
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania.
Is that Balkan or Baltic?
I'm going Baltic.
It says that Anthony Kiedis is Lithuanian,
but maybe it's heritage.
So being the red hot chili peppers.
Who's that is?
Anthony Kiedis.
What are they famous for?
The chili peppers. That's all Lith? Anthony Kiedis. What are they famous for? The chili peppers.
That's all Lithuanians famous for.
Yeah.
There's an NBA player.
Fucking shit, mate.
Right.
Go to bed and think of Lithuania,
you'll be a kipper in no time,
there's nothing to do.
Okay.
Right.
Honestly,
if you've got a kid in this situation,
it's difficult,
but you can't be a coach of a team
and be like,
yeah, this kid's massive and dead good, but like Tubbs is back dead good but like what are you gonna do if etta wants to be like
a track runner but she's dead slow she is slow yeah so what if she's like my dad i've already
seen it 200 meters and win gold well well we've done two sports days and you came forth you know
what i mean like let's get let's get i'll be like you can do anything you want to do but also there is stuff you're going to be better at dad i want to be a rugby player

People are sleeping on flute game.
Be a flautist.

or a dancer.
Some sort of showing off
that will help the fact that,

It needs to be ADHD.
She's going to be a nappo baby.
Yeah, 100%.
The team I played for when I was a kid,
the manager's son was poo.
And he played every week.
And we aided the kid for it.
Yeah.
So your kid's just going to be aided for it
because he's like,
you're shit and you're not a fella as the manager.
I think she's going to be the TA.
Retrain your kid as a goalkeeping coach.
Oh, yeah.
And get him to train the Lithuanian
and tell the Lithuanian,
ignore everything he says,
he's shite.
I make the Lithuanian shit.
I'm like,

If he turned around

Taylor Swift tickets we got?
We can't do it anymore

It's going to be next year.
I'd be like,

Statistically,
50% of marriages
go down the toilet.
Statistically,
50% of Taylor Swift concerts do not go down the toilet. Statistically, 50% of the Taylor Swift concerts
do not go down the toilet.
Fucked.
100% are fire.
If I was his mate, I'd be going to concert.
I don't get this Taylor Swift thing.
Adam, you would definitely pay off the tickets
to go to Carl's wedding.
Carl's wedding.
Not yours or Finn's.
I'd never put up with that situation.
I'd change the wedding day.
Yeah.
Carl's, I would go.
The rest of you acquaintances in this room,
I'd be going to the concert, mate.
I'm honestly surprised.
I thought you were the back.
Nah, she's a bad bitch tailor, mate.
And she's dating someone of these fellas.
Yeah, the famous quarterback, Travis Kelsey.
He's like, he's gone through the roof, him.
Yeah.
Of course he has, because he's dating the most famous person on the planet.
No career before that he started dating Taylor Swift.
He was doing all right, but he's playing every week now. Is he good? Because she's got... he's the most famous person on the planet no career before that he started dating Taylor Swift he was doing alright
but he's playing every week now
is he good?
because she's got
she's made him famous
she's made him famous
was he one of the best
or is he just fine?
he's one of
he's absolutely first ballot
hall of fame
tight end
but he's getting picked like every week now
because she's there
so they can't not pick him
she's made him more famous
I didn't know who he was
before her
I didn't either
are we doing a meme?
what are we doing?
what are we doing? What are we doing?
No, his brother plays
for Philadelphia, doesn't he?
And they've got a podcast
together now.
I've seen that.
New Heights.
They're trying to like
jump on the thing.
Travis Kelsey is now
playing every game.
He is now more famous
because of Taylor Swift.
Even, he's playing
every game now.
Is that what we're saying?
Before, they were like,
maybe we'll just drop
this generational talent,
potentially one of the best tight ends of all time.
Yeah, but people weren't calling him
a generational talent like three months ago.
It's because of this, isn't it?
It's because of Taylor's tight end.
We'd have heard of him
if he was a generational talent, surely.
I have never heard of Trevor Kelsey before.
Taylor Swift.
Travis Kelsey.
Did he play in the Super Bowl last year?
Did he?
Did he help win it, really? Is he the best player? Wait, did he actually play in the Super Bowl last year? Did he? Did he help win it, really?
Is he the best player?
Wait, did he actually play in the Super Bowl last year?
Yes, mate.
I watched that.
We were there.
Get his stats up.
I bet he had at least 10 receptions for 95 yards.
He's getting like 19, 20 now.
Two touchdowns.
I want to do a poll.
Did you know who Taylor Swift is, Matthew?
Yeah, do you know who Travis Kelsey is?
Did you before?
There you go.
There's no results on Google before two months ago.
You stupid twats.
I didn't know who he was.
I'm out.
I don't want to buy it, but you're making me buy it.
Oh, you're making me buy it and I feel angry.
Is he good?
Oh God, he's so good.
Better than her?
At what?
Yeah, being a tight end.
She's never, yeah, she's going to be good in the offensive game
because she's got height,
but she's not going to be able to block a defensive end.
Fact.
She just starts singing.
They go, wow.
Who did he play for last year?
Stop it.
You're not allowed to join in on this.
They can.
Who is in the fan?
You know who Travis Kelce is.
The Philadelphia Eagles.
I do know who he is.
I do now.
He's everywhere, isn't he?
He's had a podcast now.
Put your fishing rods away.
He's had a podcast now.
Put your fishing rods away.
You have angered me.
He's had a podcast now because of Taylor.
He didn't have one before.
I'm out of fact.
No, it's not.
Silly bollocks.
Did he have a podcast before?
Yeah, he's had it for the last two years.
I've never heard of it.
Yeah, it's brilliant.
Right, back to the... Shout out, Travis Kelce.
I am genuinely surprised
That you'd pick
Taylor Swift over
Like your mate's wedding
Not his wedding
I would go to his
But is it
I've never heard you
Listen to Taylor Swift
That's because I'm sick
Of being judged
We listen to it in a car
You listen to fucking
Country music
Yeah, I look at your reaction
To that
And that's fire
Put Taylor Swift on any day
Over country music
What are you talking about
She's a country singer Really, not anymore She music what are you talking about she's a country singer
really
not anymore
she fucking is mate
she's not
she's a pop singer now
also if you've got
no taste in country
you're not going to
respect me tasting
I don't want the
homophobic abuse
oh listen to Taylor
you big gay
I don't want any of this
okay
I don't want to be judged
for my fucking taste
because you want to
suck Liam Gallagher off
he hasn't done
fucking anything
since he was in
that Beatles tribute band and you know he hasn't do you want to have a little spin on off he hasn't done fucking anything since he was in that Beatles tribute band
and you know he hasn't
do you want to have
a little spin on your chair
it'll make you feel better
that is a fact though
Taylor Swift's fire
she's got nothing
on Luke Combs
wow
so is the Luke Combs
the other option
is that how many people
would you sack a
weathering offer
of a gig
no the thing is
Luke Combs
I feel like I've always
got an option
to get a ticket
because I know people who can sort that out.
Taylor Swift, you know, is...
You've just got someone to sort your ticket, though,
didn't you?
For Taylor Swift, yeah,
but that's only because it's at Anfield.
Rock and roll shit, mate.
And someone who works there
sorted me a hospitality ticket out.
Jürgen Klopp.
There you go, that.
So I got lucky there.
So just them two?
There's no other...
No, it's not that it's just them two.
It's just like,
going to this Taylor Swift tour.
This is one of the biggest tours
anyone's ever done.
Do you know what I mean?
Which is why...
But it's now bigger
because she's dating Travis Kelsey.
He's helped.
No.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's made it bigger.
Wait, here's a question.
Who has benefited more
in the social sphere
from this relationship?
Taylor or Travis?
Travis.
There you go.
That's all we're saying.
So stop talking about him as a player though.
He's shit, isn't he?
How many Taylor Swift songs do you know, Dan?
More than Travis Kelsey songs.
Name how many fucking running backs he's done.
This is a genuine question.
What position is he?
How many what?
What position is he?
He's a running back four times.
He's a running back, I don't know.
Stop being silly pricks.
He's a tight end.
Oh, yeah, tight end.
Sorry, you've said that
how many running backs
isn't that the one
who like bashes people
what
is he like
hey
no
stop it
he's a running back
how many running backs
has he done
three this year
ten yards
so we're
we're saying to Samuel
nah your mate's in the right
yeah
he is
it doesn't sound like his best mate.
If it's your best mate,
then that's a problem.
If it's not, then fucking...
He's in...
They went to school together.
Ooh.
I went to school with Conor Loftus.
That's a long-lasting friendship.
No, but the people from school that you invite...
I'm telling you right now
that if there's a concert on this planet,
that would make me turn down an invite to Conor Loftus' flat.
Absolutely.
Stonewall Fast.
Loft-o? The big loft?
Yeah, they...
They had issues.
Oh, right. Okay, cool.
You used to just go sick sometimes.
And just pat on everyone.
Oh, really? Did he go berserker?
With hindsight, he had Asperger's syndrome.
But it was funny in school.
Like, we didn't know what it was because no one taught us.
And we didn't bully him.
No.
But he was like six and a half foot tall in like year seven.
Was he Lithuanian?
He quite looked Lithuanian.
He quite looked Lithuanian.
We always said that.
But like, other kids would wind him up
because they knew
what he would do
which was
he would just start
swinging his bag
at everyone
like he would just try
and knock people out
with his backpack
and he
I would love to see his wedding
honestly
wow
I would love to see his wedding
if you're listening Connor
his nickname was
Conker Donkel
Conker Donkel Hink
yeah
it was what
Conker Donkel Hink
we called him
Conker Donkel Hink
or Conker Donkel Hink
it was one of the two.
I can't really remember.
Yeah.
It doesn't need to be true.
It just sounds amazing.
It is true though.
Can we go for a break?
We've got one little feature just before we go for a break.
Oh no.
Let me just go and get it.
You look starving you.
By the way Dan, there's a jingle on page four by the underrated overrated.
Yes.
It's not on page four, you're lying to us.
Go on.
We got it?
That's superb.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this week's edition of Dan vs Food.
Dan is a 42-year-old man with several food phobias,
and every single week we get him to try a food that he's never had in his mouth before.
Hello.
You know?
You think I've not had it.
Here's our glamorous assistant, Stephen.
We were racking our brains this week for stuff that we don't think you'll have tried.
Just basic, basic food that everyone has in the week. Staple.
Staple of this. I can tell just from
what's in that shot glass what this is.
Can I? Yeah. Steve, have you ever put a glove
on before? What the fuck? OJ Simpson, we call him.
Are you ready, Dan?
No. I believe this is going to be
spaghetti bolognese.
It is? Spaghetti bolognese.
And it looks wonderful.
Can I just ask where this is from?
Casa...
Like, this is going to be a really good Spag bol.
So, what you're going to want to do...
Hang on.
You're going to try it just on its own.
Right.
And then we're going to add a bit of parmesan.
What are you doing?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa.
No, no, no, no.
I don't have to do it.
Spaghetti bolognese with a spoon?
Yeah, but...
Oh, I'm so hungry.
It's too much.
Right. No, have you ever done a... Oh, I'm so hungry. It's too much. Right.
No, have you ever done a...
Dan, have you ever...
Let him just try a fish.
Can I just ask quickly, Dan,
which of the components
of this meal have you had before?
Have you had spaghetti before?
Yeah.
Have you had beef before?
Yeah.
Have you had tomato-based sauce before?
Well, then you're going to be fine.
There you go.
That's pathetic.
Shut up!
It's hard for me, this.
You can't...
We love you. Oh, it's hard. These feet feel... Right, can I Shut up. It's hard for me, this. You can't, you can... We love you.
Oh, it's hard, these fit and filbius.
You know, I like to have fit and filbius.
Can I just say...
Fucking food.
It's really hard.
I'm like,
Casa Natalia delivered.
Listen, listen.
Just give me, like,
you can't do portions.
Everything's on.
All right.
That is quite nice.
Yay!
Yay!
So this has got a bit of dick cheese on it.
Parmesan.
Yeah, it smells like dick cheese.
Have you ever...
What?
I'm having a fucking spoon.
Spaghetti with a spoon.
I'm having my yum yum.
my yum yum I don't think he likes
parmesan cheese
oh it's just
tangy salty
you're doing a
fucking Robert De Niro
impression
he's just made it
better
alright
I'd have it
can you are you allowed to put a bit of black pepper on there yeah yeah that's what I normally alright I'd have it can you
are you allowed to put
a bit of black pepper on there
yeah
yeah that's what I normally do
I'd probably allow the fucking
parmesan
because it just smells all
dead cheesy
that strong cheese
that you put on your pasta
yeah
smells cheesy does it
it's mad that isn't it
can I just tell you lads
this isn't
bad
but it's not good
is it
it's casserataglia
spag bol it's fine but you're going in for Is it? It's a Casa Natalia spag bol.
It's fine.
But you're going in for seconds, like.
Adam's about to have the best thing.
Oh, look at that.
Because I don't hate it.
I don't hate it,
but it's not very nice.
Out of 10, Dan, on your scale?
Tell you what,
that's not a great spag bol.
Is it not?
No.
I need to make him a spag bol
for him to have a proper spag bol.
Okay.
Full disclosure. Spag Okay. Full disclosure.
Spag bog.
Full disclosure.
What you've given me here is not one of my phobias.
You've given me something that I haven't had loads of spag bol.
Fuck this thing.
But this hasn't gone in.
So when someone the other day suggested cheesy chips,
I was like, yeah, all right, yeah, cool.
I'll give it a try.
Like, this isn't a phobia of mine.
It's just something I wouldn't choose.
So, you know, when I was a kid
and I started rejecting everything,
my mum was like, right, he needs to eat something.
So she made me cheese on toast and a plate of fruit.
And I had that every night
till from about 1985 to about 1997.
And honestly, I wasn't scared of it.
I didn't like it particularly, but I could eat it.
This almost falls in that realm of stuff that I'm like,
I'm not arsed about that, but I'm not scared of it.
You know the soup?
That's phobia levels.
Right, just you wait.
Okay, we've been too easy on you this week then.
Next week, you're going to hell.
Out of 10, Dan?
Out of 10?
Well, it's five.
It's just dead average.
It's nothing and then it's just
I'd give that a five and a half, six.
It's pretty average.
There you go. Sorry to be disappointed.
I'm not trying to egg you on.
Oh, you've fucked it now.
Casa d'Italia doesn't travel well.
Casa d'Italia is one of the best Italians in Liverpool,
but it doesn't travel very well at all.
I hope you like fucking veal bumhole mate
just to clarify
Casa Italia
is a beautiful
restaurant
don't want them
pissed off
no it's a good
but don't get a
delivery going
sit in
I'm not asking
dead hard
fucking Travis Kelsey
well we've just
been for some
delicious Mediterranean
food
I had a chicken tikka
and a bit of bread
you had the same thing
but you had chips as well
you big fat cunt
Jim Owens here
How are you doing?
I'm good
Is that a fresh Liverpool shirt?
It is
I've just been to the shop
around the corner
I'm trying to get tickets to the
the Derby
Liverpool-Everton game
Big Liverpool fan?
No, yeah
enough
Yeah
More of that than any other Premier team I'm not a pundit I often watch it with the The Derby, Liverpool-Everton game. Big Liverpool fan? No, yeah, enough. Yeah.
More of that than any other Premier team.
I'm not a pundit.
I often watch it with the sound down.
Yeah.
And, you know, just enjoy it.
We've been discussing that recently in here. Like, the commentary is, the bar is on the floor, isn't it?
Well, not that.
It's just so much I like the fluency of watching it with the sound it's just one of those
things I enjoy
it'd be quite good
if you could get it
without the commentary
but with the crowd sound
that'd be good
yeah that's not a bad idea
yeah
I could see that
didn't they have that
Jordan
yeah COVID
COVID
no they did
they did
no they just had
they had the commentary
either with the awkward
silence of an empty stadium
or the commentary with fake crowd they silence of an empty stadium or the commentary
with fake crowd.
They didn't have a no commentary option.
I thought they had just the crowd.
They should have had an option
where you can just turn
Steve McManaman off.
That would be a really good one for me.
In South Africa
at the World Cup
they had something
that could cancel out the...
The Vuvuzela.
It was Brazil, wasn't it?
The Vuvuzelas.
Was that Brazil?
No, that was South Africa. South Africa, yeah. The Vuvuzela, was Brazil wasn't it the Vuvuzels yeah was that Brazil no that was
South Africa
yeah
the Vuvuzel
you could cancel it out
so maybe
some sort of
cancel commentary
in Brazil
they had an option
where you could cancel out
all the women's
massive arses
with big fat batties
yeah
the big fat batties
you could hear them
oh yeah
when they stand up
when like
someone's thrown a gun
they all stand up
fuck off my memory and I've said this before of the Vuvuzela Oh yeah, when they stand up. When someone's doing a goal and they all stand up. Fuck off.
My memory, and I've said this before,
of the Vuvuzela,
was having a balcony in my flat in Manchester and it was World Cup time
and one of us bought a Vuvuzela
just because it was one of the things.
That's not that.
That's something else.
No, it's...
Vuvuzela's...
Vuvuzela's...
No.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the rackety, aren't they?
Yeah, yeah.
So we had...
Oh, yeah.
But do you know there's a toy
that looks a bit like a Vuvuzela
where you whip it round?
That's the window.
And there was two...
There was two crackheads
having sex next to the canal
and we blew the Vuvuzela
and she obviously went,
right, well, that's enough.
They're blowing horns
and you could see him be like,
fucking thanks, lads.
I love that the only thing
that was stopping him getting laid was a Vuvboo sailor that thing i don't know it does
sound like a euphemism for a woman's vagina doesn't it yeah but she had a lovely boo-boo
sailor the noise the noise of your being a sailor.
How much... Is that you?
Yeah.
I've lots of talent, you know.
Something like that.
I've never...
You've never tried an impression
and you've never tried it before.
That was it.
I wouldn't much the welcome with that noise on.
That's always annoying. Have you ever been with a woman who had a noisy fanny? I wouldn't much to welcome with that noise on that's annoying
yeah
have you ever
been with a woman
who had a noisy fanny
or like a needs oiling
no you ever made
a like
a little fanny
a queef
but I've got
quite a fat
mons pubis
yeah
yeah
so if I
am with a lady
with also
you know
a little bit of meat on it
there is like a healthy
slap on it
but never an individual sound
I'm not talking about
slapping a beer
I'm talking about like
a minge buff
oh dear
oh dear
it's a very
very embarrassing moment
for the lady
yeah
and everyone
no you're meant to laugh
but then you have to like
sort of comfort them
whilst also pretending
you didn't enjoy it
you have to be like
oh I don't worry about that
that smells great
yeah but when you're in the moment,
laughing's not on.
No jokes, no jokes.
We'll do a bit of laughing later,
but you know,
so it's a really difficult moment
and you feel sorry for them.
It's just awkward for everyone involved.
Nothing a firm handshake won't, you know.
Yeah.
Play on, drop ball, let's go.
Yeah.
Penises don't make any noise, do they?
Famously.
I personally farted during a massage
and then for the rest of the massage,
the girl was just trying not to laugh.
Like, I could feel the vibration of her laughing the whole way.
Which helped the massage.
Yeah, yeah.
Which is, you know, another level.
Like the little vibration she was doing,
that the whole way through.
But then I painted at the end,
I just looked, I shook her hand,
but then I looked at her eye end I just looked I shook her hand but then I looked her eye
we shared a moment together
I was talking to
a friend of mine
right
he's on tour with us
at the minute
so he's opening for me
his name's Alfie
and Jack's as well
so we had a
it looked like we were
going to have a day off
where we had like a day
where we were just
going to be away
and nothing to do
and I was going to
book us a spa day
for the boys you know little spa massage each and alfie was like oh i don't get massages because
i'm scared of getting an erection uh and i was like i just don't even with farting i think a
masseuse has been through everything it's possible to be through with other people leave massages in
the past i don't think a boner a fast, I think you could do a little poo
and she'd be like
third time this week.
I don't think it's like
as big a deal to them
as it is to us.
What if it's a foot massage?
I think then
I think then that is
out of order, innit?
I'll be honest, love.
Once you hit that big toe,
I just shat everywhere.
So I don't know
if you want to take a break
before doing the left foot.
I'm not sure.
Surely they want you
to get a little boner
because then they're like...
No, I think they're pretty keen
on you not getting a boner.
I've always got one.
Not always.
I don't even know.
There's a little Thai lady under there.
When I get a massage,
I'm like...
When I get a massage,
I'm going to...
Yeah, I've never had a massage.
And not... I always had a little I'm going to Willy's. Yeah, I've never had a massage. And not...
And not...
I always had a little bit of a chub on.
Yeah.
Hard side.
Especially on your back.
Do you have a lot of that here
where you don't know if it is
like a straight up for real massage
or there's a bit more?
Like you don't really...
It's awkward, isn't it?
Isn't it?
Yeah.
How do you ask?
I don't know.
I think it should say on the door.
It's just all quite simple massage little emoji
it's legit that's all you need i think uh with the best the best way to approach things like
this and you don't know is you just ask them out right but then when they react like oh you just
go look i just asked to make sure like how would you ask as you're coming in she things like this and you don't know is you just ask them outright but then when they react like oh you just go look I just asked
to make sure
how would you ask
as you're coming in
she's like go on
just put your robe there
just go you're alright
love yeah
just wondering
is this one of the ones
where you wank us off
at the end
no not a problem
no worries
just wondering
yeah don't want to
make it awkward
but
okay now I know
a friend of mine
went for a straight up
massage as he thought
and at the end
the girl says to him
would you like a happy ending
and he wasn't
and he went
yeah why not
so she goes out
and he comes back
and about 15 minutes later
have you finished
that does happen
that's a DIY
really yeah
yeah
that does happen sometimes
they're like
you wanna
you wanna have a little wank to you
well I'll just leave you
and I'll come back in a minute
subtle you wanna have a little wank to you or I'll just leave you and I'll come back in a minute subtle
you wanna have a wank
do you wanna
touch your own penis
to the point
where you have an orgasm
nice one
feel free to shit anywhere
I'm a masseuse
I've seen it all
I have a friend
that used to phone up
those
those sex lines
but back in the
back in the
90s
you know where they
charge money
for um
talking horny to you and
he got quite a bit of money he got an erection before he phoned him up so he was already you
know a match fit you know he was already there ready to go because it was cheaper saved money Jim, every time you tell one of these stories,
you keep saying a friend of yours.
It's hard to say.
Love Liverpool.
Either you've got one friend who is a completely open book
and tells you everything he's ever done,
or...
Dan, if you were getting a massage,
just like with Adam,
like next door, you both went to a spa.
Not from Adam.
No, and she went,
do you want me to wank you off to completion?
Would you say yes?
Why is Adam here?
Why does that...
Because this is possible.
Yeah, well, I'd cheat on my wife,
but if Adam's two doors down, no.
Because he's a grass.
No.
No, I'm not...
Is it cheating? No. Listen, I'm not. Is it cheating now?
Listen, I've been told pretty firmly.
He's getting wanked off by a masseuse.
Cheating.
I think Laura, my wife,
would be fuming
even if I got offered the transaction.
What if it was a masseur?
A man?
Yeah.
Yeah, well then,
he can't be cheating
because I'm not gay.
I'm just getting wanked off by a guy
to completion
and being like,
I've got to fucking hell, lads. Have you got Vuvuzela? So would you go, no, don't wank me off. I'm just getting wanked off by a guy to completion and being like, so you're fucking on, lads.
Have you got Vuvuzela?
So would you go, no, don't wank me off.
I'm going home.
Yeah.
Do you know that joke about the queen?
The guy broke into the queen's bedroom all those years ago.
Go on.
And he's sitting on the bed with the queen,
says to the queen,
go on, show me your tits.
Queen says, no way.
I shouldn't even be doing this.
Queen says no way I shouldn't even be doing this
that was
that was big
you know what I think
has been lost
I'm into it
I'm into it
you know with the modernisation
of comedy
I think
jokes
like that
have been so lost
oh yeah
no one tells jokes anymore
do you know any jokes Dan
what
do you know any jokes no go What? Do you know any jokes?
No go on do you? No I'm asking you.
No I'm terrible with jokes.
I literally haven't got that recall. I can remember
a joke if somebody's talking about something
that is in relationship to that.
And then that way your brain can
easily go there but somebody starts telling you a joke
no reference to what you're talking about. You're like what are we talking
about now? Okay what do you think about England, Ireland
and Scotland?
Yeah yeah yeah. Here we go um what's your favorite joke
ever have you got one oh well that one's pretty up there that's great i like i like uh the kind
of silly ones uh patty and mary get married and on their wedding day mary jumps into bed takes all
the clothes off lies across the bed says to patty you know what i want he says the whole of the bed but
the look of it genuinely why i haven't got the joke recall like jason manford came on and you
could tell he could just do he could have done the whole podcast with just jokes but i haven't got i
haven't got the recall of it i just don't have it sorry mickey mouse mickey mouse and minnie mouse
are getting divorced. Hasn't
gone well. Tits up. They're in court
together. Judge is reading through the facts
of the case, making his deliberation.
Takes the glasses off, looks
at Mickey Mouse, says, Mickey, just
because you say the wife's got big teeth, there's no
real grounds for a divorce.
And Mickey Mouse goes, I didn't say she had big teeth.
I said she was fucking goofy.
That's up there.
The only one I ever remember, and it's so stupid,
and it's because my mum used to tell jokes all the time,
and this is her one.
And it's not even that good, but I'm going to tell you it anyway.
And the reason it's so memorable for me is she would tell me this
maybe like once a year, and then she would fall apart laughing before she really got to the
punchline but it was like every year she couldn't remember she told me before so she's like teachers
teachers in class right and she's going right class today we're gonna do the alphabet today
we're gonna do the alphabet so i'm gonna say a letter and I just want everyone to put their hand up
and you tell me a word that begins with that letter.
She goes, right, so we'll start with A.
And obviously the class are nervous, they're young kids.
There's only one kid who puts his hand up, little Timmy.
She goes, go on, Timmy, give me a word beginning with A.
And he goes, arsehole!
And she goes, that is bang out of order, Timmy.
You do not say that word.
No, that is naughty.
Don't be swearing.
You know that's a naughty word.
She goes, right, B.
And again, everyone sees what's just happened to Timmy.
They're not risking anything.
So Timmy just stands up again.
She goes, right, Timmy, be good.
And he goes, yeah, bollocks.
Right?
She's like, look, I'm not going to ask you again.
I'm not going to ask you again.
She gets to C.
It's cock.
D, dick.
And she's like, you're not doing it anymore.
But then people are starting to put their hands up.
And by the way, by the time she gets to G,
everyone else has given up.
No one else is putting their hand up.
She goes, G.
And it's just Timmy again.
She goes, I'm not coming to you, Timmy.
You need someone else.
You'd be really naughty.
And he's just like this, this, this.
She goes, right, this is your last chance.
What's the word beginning with G?
And he goes, gnome.
And she goes, that is so good, Timmy.
Well done.
It's great that even at your age,
you know that that begins with G.
Well done.

She's fucked to death by a gnome.
Oh.
That's for you, Anne.
Smoking biffs in heaven
I can remember a joke
And I can remember who told me the joke
I can remember where I was when I heard the joke
If I have a good joke that I like
Yeah, I can
Chris Lagan told me that
The Mickey Mouse one
Paddy and Mary
Yeah, could probably can't
you just have to trust me on that do you uh i've been a fan of your work for a while i last night uh just because i knew you
were coming today i went back and watched your eyebrow routine that you did on TV quite a while ago.
Yeah.
And I, up until we sort of got you in the studio,
I didn't do any research enough,
because I've always wondered why you haven't been
on every TV show ever made over here,
because one of my favourite comics.
But you live in Australia,
and you have done it for a long time.
How did that happen?
At what point does a comedian based over here or near
here well i wasn't a comedian i was a backpacker i was working on building sites so wow so you
started in australia i started doing stand-up so i was there like a year and there was a comedy night
on and i got up where did you go i got up and there was a comedy uh somebody put my name down
we were in plain pool and uh someone put my name down and We were in Plainpool. And someone put my name down.
And I got up, like, totally naive. I started telling jokes.
I started like, all right, here's one.
And then they started laughing at the fact I was telling jokes
because nobody told jokes.
And then I thought they'd heard it because they were all laughing.
And I was like, oh, you know this one?
All right, here's another one.
And then they thought I was getting freaking big laughs,
not even knowing why I was getting the laughs.
Like I was doing,
well, I'm getting laughs here
and I hadn't planned it.
And yeah,
and then watched the rest of the night
and went, oh, frig,
this is the best night ever.
This is like somewhere in between a play
and going to see a band.
This is like really enjoyable.
That's a good,
that is a good description of life's done up.
Yeah.
Because you go to a play with your mum
or your parents and you go, it's too much. And a band, you'd be trying to, so this is, you know of life's done up. Because you go to a play with your mum or your parents,
and you go, it's too much.
And a band, you'd be trying to, so this is, you know, like Goldilocks.
It was in between, perfect.
And, you know, I was hanging out with Irish people in Australia,
so it was a really good way of meeting up with a whole new group of people.
And then, you know, just started doing it.
And because I hadn't really watched it, that kind of helped me get into it,
sort of really find a voice that I wasn't copying anyone else.
So I was just going along with what I thought was funny after that.
And then I did a little lot of lying as well.
This lady says to me, I booked a comedy club in Melbourne.
How long have you been doing stand-up for?
And I said, five years.
That was the third week I was doing it.
But I had a friend bob franklin and he'd done loads
of gigs with you know paul merton and bing hitler and all these people who being hitler who was
i know his cousin what's you know that's a character the guy went on to become a big big
scottish star in america at his own chat show. Craig Ferguson
What? Craig Ferguson. Anyway that was Craig
Ferguson's character
being Hitler yeah. Fuck. And I
photocopied his
little things put them
on a sheet, tippexed his name out
and typed my name over the
top of it and then faxed it back
this is back in the day of faxes. Oh you took his CV
and just totally. Yeah exactly he was cool with it and got faxed it back this is back in the day of faxes oh you took his cv and just totally exactly he was cool with it and uh got booked to do support went down and then you know
did three weeks every night for three weeks and then got booked to do like six weeks so then within
the first two or three months i had flying hours that were like the equivalent of two or three
years over here and that was like such a
great start into meeting everyone that was you know doing comedy what year we're talking as you
this is 80 88 the end of 88 90 it needed nine after that of course um
give me here there's a leap year that year um But yeah, I ended up, you know,
and then I ended up just doing well in Australia
and I knew that if I
came back here, I'd be like a Northern Ireland comic
expected to talk about Northern Ireland.
And they couldn't hear my accent.
They just thought I had a
doily doily accent, you know.
How's it going? Like they couldn't hear the
sinisterness in the tone.
They couldn't pick up on that.
So they were Gerry Adams and Ian Paisley were the only people on TV
when I was doing it so
you know it was just one of those things
it was just fortunate that I did it in Australia
and it was good timing and a good
place to do it
It's so interesting hearing you talk about
your sort of exposures to stand up
because I think
a lot of comics have that and i've never heard it described that way halfway between a play and
seeing a band and the goldilocks thing which i think is fucking excellent but it's that isn't it
it's so many comedians and people who end up doing stand-up they see live stand-up for the first time
and just something in them goes oh i'm home
yeah yeah yeah you find your people this is my people i've been looking for my people
yeah yeah this is my this is this is what i've been looking for but you never knew you were
looking for it but it's just like oh here we are yeah i did i did everything i did everything but
like that wasn't comedy like performing arts i did theater my mom put me into all sorts i did
theater studies a level i
knew i didn't want to be an actor went to uni and exactly that light bulb moment when i got taken
down to the old hyena in newcastle and i sat there and within 10 minutes of watching dave johns
compare i was like i don't know how to do this and i don't know if i'm going to be able to do this
but i am going to be here a lot and i got a job there it was just exactly that
just going that's whatever magic is in the air that's like that's a normal people watch it for
years and put a lot of pressure i'd already done it and i didn't even realize i'd done it yeah
the other way around you know like and then and then people going to me you know you've got to
watch comedy who's your favorite comedian i go i fucking don't know any comedians i have no clue
i know tommy, I liked him.
What about all the rest of them?
And then a mate of mine, he sat me down,
showed me videos of stuff,
and I've gone, oh, frick, this is an art form.
People are really into this.
Oh, wow, this is really tricky.
But you never got into that.
You sort of just did your thing and it always worked.
Did you end up getting, like,
intertwined with the industry stuff,
or were you always just like,
I'm just doing what I do? No, I started seeing people I really liked,
like, Shandling, you I do? No, I started seeing people I really liked,
like Shandling,
you know,
Gary Shandling and just seeing some of his stuff
and, you know,
just being on,
just seeing other comics
and you go,
right, I like that.
I really like what you're doing.
And, you know,
you're sort of,
you're influenced,
totally influenced
by people you watch
and their tone
or their type,
like just the way their attitude.
Bob Franklin, for example, that comedian.
Like, everyone else was talking about sport,
talking about, and he was talking about rubbish, absolute.
And I was going, oh, yeah, you can talk about
whatever you want to talk about.
It doesn't really matter.
And if you can find something.
And all the thoughts I had that worked out
into good routines, I had them as a kid anyway.
So I already had stuff worked out in my head i
didn't i didn't know the environment that you could where could you tell these stories or you
know who would listen to this yeah but they were like thoughts that were good comedic thoughts
i think me and carl so me and carl went to school together and we were best friends back then and
it felt for a long time me and him that no one else really had our sense of humor because it
was so stupid
and it's not even
in my stand up
where that's come out
it's this podcast
this podcast
has become
a sort of produced
version
of what we've done
since we were 17
that
in our heads
no one would have ever got it
oh yeah
and that's the other thing
when I started doing it
I was in Australia
and like no one
could understand me like literally I was working on a building site and you know
you'd say something on passing like like and they go what sorry and i was not just in reference to
what you were talking about and that why would that be in reference like you know what forget
it just move on and i couldn't interact with people i was talking that's why i've probably
got a visual face because nobody understood me.
I was like spending the whole time trying to sell something.
And then I went on stage and not only did they understand me,
but they found me funny.
And it felt like I had this room full of people
that I'd gone to school with.
Like, oh, you get this.
You get this.
So that was the other thing that was just,
you find, I find people big time.
There is something about that, isn't it? When something's just funny and then you throw in a premise this so that was the other thing that was just you find you find my people big time there is
something about that isn't it when something's just funny and then you throw in a premise and
it's neither a joke or a story it is just for whatever reason within the context of that
conversation and we can be talking in real life or this podcast it just builds and it's funny
like you add to it and then someone else adds to it and then this and then and then yeah try doing
that in...
That's why...
That wasn't one of those moments.
No, no.
I've never done jokes,
but in conversation,
a joke works.
If you're just telling someone
and trying to be funny,
just being able to be like,
here's the setup,
that's the joke.
But there is something magical
about stand-up
where you get to the end
of someone's set
and you're like,
I'm not sure where that started,
exactly where it ended,
but it was
fucking beautiful all the way through the performance the act out i love it especially
the magic you can't see it coming it's just that's a good joke isn't it really i did vicar street and
i watched uh richie brady in support and vicar street's got these little like a plank in front
of you and you can put your beer there and you're in the darkness
so listening in the darkness
is like listening to a podcast
at night
has that real intensity
you can really listen to their
like I like
I like listening to someone's act
in the darkness
because then I can go
ha ha
you know
as opposed to that laugh
that you do
yeah yeah yeah
you make it look like
I'm having a good time
ha ha
you're like really watching
going ha ha
yeah yeah yeah that's
how we watch comedy if something's funny we go yeah yeah that's hilarious you go yeah
oh i see what he definitely definitely at home you're watching tv and you can get
someone you've done well yeah that's that's really good
oh yeah if you've got a laugh
out loud and it's on TV
or on a special that is a big laugh
isn't it because there's something about being in the room
but it's so much better when it's
darker in the actual room
like when you get to a venue
and the lights are all on in the audience
that's how we leave it you're like
fuck that
doing like live at the Apollo
watching it on TV you're like fuck that yeah doing like doing like live at the Apollo watching that on
tv you're like watching the audience watching the show you're like you're one removed again it's not
like that and loads of people even now loads of people never seen stand-up like you meet people
that was the first time and when I started like you knew everybody doing stand-up everyone get
into it by some weird story like Owen O'Neil told me he says uh do a poem on stage you
get a pint so he'd write a poem and then get up on stage and and then you know that led into meeting
other people that don't want to come to this room they do stand up what and then you're off yeah
yeah yeah john bishop started in comedy just because he didn't want to pay the entry he got
down to the amateur night at the frog and bucket and they were like yeah it's like four quid in or it's free if you're an act and he
was like i'm not paying four quid and just signed up and that was how he became a comic we used to
i used to run a comedy club in melbourne and we used to always get three first timers because
they would always bring about six or seven people yeah you'd always bring a crowd like so just get
two or three of them and you've
got enough to make the room work yeah where's your favorite like doesn't matter on size you
just talked about vicar street we we were there doing a podcast show in july and it was unbelievable
where's your favorite room to play doesn't matter if it's tiny or huge alpha is good because you
know it's a good size room and I'm from that
part of the world
and Derry's good
yeah
there's loads of rooms
like that theatre
I was telling you about
last night
just walk in
and you go
you don't know
what you're going
to get sometimes
I'm in Manchester
and you know
that's a big
rock and roll room
but being in a nice
theatre
is kind of like
you go
oh wow
I wasn't expecting this
this is
you know a good spot the Opera House in Belf theatre is kind of like you go oh wow I wasn't expecting this this is you know
a good spot
the Opera House
in Belfast is good
last night I did crew
I'll tell you a story
last night I did crew
raining
I've come out the side door
taken off
somebody recognised me
and then this guy goes
and I went
oh okay
I don't
wind the window down
going
the premiere end
just up the road
so he thinks I'm an Uber or something and I go Okay, I don't know. Wind the window down. The Premier in, just up the road.
So he thinks I'm an Uber or something.
And I go on, what?
And then he goes, oh, oh yeah, we've been seeing you.
Oh, really?
And the wife was coming, it's raining.
I go, get in the back, don't say anything, right?
All right, okay.
He got in the back and then the wife got in the back and I'm driving she's prepping her in again
and then she's just doing
that wee look
going
no
we've just been to see you
and they were lovely
they drove from
they drove from Ayrshire down
stayed in the hotel
and I dropped them off
but I just felt like
just oh
it was a funny moment
you know
last week
so Jack is doing
all of the driving
for my tour
and I think it might have been
after crew actually no maybe it can might have been after crew, actually.
No, maybe it can't have been,
because we went for the pint after that one.
So he pulled up outside my building
on the docks in Liverpool.
And me and Alfie are getting out.
Alfie's staying in mine.
And this group of four women from York
come over and they go to him,
Hanover Street, love.
You're Hanover Street.
And he went, yeah, yeah, 50 quid.
I'll do 50 quid. And he went, yeah, yeah, 50 quid. I'll do 50 quid.
And she went, 50 pound.
We paid six today.
You can fuck off.
Right?
And Jack goes, well, 50 quid.
I'm not doing it, love, because I'm about to go home.
So it's 50 quid or not.
And she goes, I'll fucking walk.
I'll walk, son.
Then she walked in the opposite direction.
As she's walking away, she goes,
you fucking scouse cunts.
And then she went,
I can tell from looking at you,
you're all in the IRA,
and I don't know where that came from.
Am I lying, though?
No.
You're not, are you?
No, yeah, I am.
I am saying... You put a balaclava on.
Is that how they're funding the fight
just expensive Ubers
what price
Jack would you have gone
yeah fuck it
let's go
like if they'd have gone
alright we'll give you 30
would you have thought about it
you should have done it
for 6 quid for the story
I would have
he's got a lovely car
he's fucking
absolutely fucking
Rottweilers getting
in the car and
brewing
were they Scottish
as well
no we don't call
women dogs
they're from
Yorkshire
Yorkshire
they were really
rude
we're not calling
women dogs are we
no
Protestant by the
sounds of it
another thing
happened last night
no I reject your
yellow card
fuck off
another thing
that happened last
night
you know when you
do a good deed, right?
The trick is not to tell anyone, right?
I can't do that.
It was pouring rain.
I've gone in to get petrol.
I've come out.
As I've gone in,
the guy's turning the engine over,
but there's no fuel in the line.
Growing up in the 70s,
cars broke down all the time.
Everybody knew how to fix a car. I could tell there was no fuel in the line, and up in the 70s cars broke down all the time everybody knew
how to fix a car
I could tell
there was no fuel
in the line
and there was a whole
couple of the family
were in
into the petrol station
and I've driven off
but I've gone
to drive off
but I've just stopped
I can hear him
still doing it
and I've stopped
and I reversed
pulled alongside him
wound down the window
I says
he goes
I've run out of petrol
I come in
I've filled up
I go yeah
but there's no fuel
in the line.
I can hear,
you can hear nothing.
You need to pump it.
Just pump it.
Don't try and turn it on.
Just pump it.
And then he pumped it
two or three times.
That's the creature.
Three times,
let it go.
Try again.
And he's going,
oh,
and he's pumped it.
I go,
don't pump it again.
You'll flood it.
Right.
This is what we're told as kids.
My dad always said,
don't,
it'll flood. And then I could just try again and it just turned over. Like, I't pump it again. You'll flood it. Right, this is what we're told as kids. My dad always said, it'll flood.
And then I could just try again, and it just turned over.
Like, I felt like a knight.
I just drove off.
We're going to go for a very short break.
Before we do, Jim, would you please tell us,

I mean, we've got listeners all over the way up,

Jim live
you've absolutely
got to go and do it

hello
welcome back
we've got some pet peeves
coming your way
that doesn't work
there's just things
people write in
that really piss them off
and you can add your own
have you got any
off the top of your head?
Little things. Not like, you know,
coming home to your wife.
Little things that piss you off.
Alright, little things, yeah.
It's not huge things like
my house exploded.
Put on the white in snooker.
Israel Gaza.
No, no, no.
No.
I love how that's a pet peeve the middle east the middle eastern conflict just war you know yeah war in general it gets on my give us an example thing what have we got so the first
example we've got is from kai brooks uh and they say when you go to put sugar on your cereal and
there's bits of coffee mixed into the sugar so still putting sugar how old's guy
you can't be putting sugar on your cereal as an adult you are in no position to tell anyone what
they can and can't oh come on sugar on your cereal what order do you build your coffee or tea as well
yeah what how do you build your coffee or tea done i go coffee first yeah And then I'd go sugar last. You go sugar?
In a coffee?
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't like coffee,
so I sugar it up to fuck.
I don't know.
Tea, no, nothing tea?
No.
I mean, if it's espresso,
I don't need sugar
because nothing masks
the awful,
ground,
fucking bitter taste of that.
But my God,
I like the feeling.
Do you know what I mean?
It's like having mushrooms.
Magic mushrooms are the same
there's no sugar
can help with that
we tried that
sugar
sugar on them
and cream
oh yeah
caramelised magic mushrooms
I'm in
I don't like
see my wife does this
like
if I was getting sugar
like she'll make a cup of tea
and a bit of sugar
and then
do you want some sugar
and I go yeah
and then she pours
and I go
that's enough and then she just does some sugar and I go yeah and then she pours and I go that's enough
and then she just does
a little bit more
like she's a control freak
like just that little thing
extra
you go that's enough
or my mum on plate
like do you want
another potato
that's enough
and then she
just gives me
another potato
I mean that's on you
for not realising by now
that just ask
to stop one
before you wanted to
or do you think
she'd figure that out
and she'd be like
fuck it yeah
that's all you're getting
and then you haven't got
enough potatoes
yeah yeah
we used to pretend
we didn't like something
because if we did like it
she'd be going
that's enough of that
you know if you were going
try those strawberries
oh they're lovely
that's enough
where's she going
try those strawberries oh they're lovely that's enough try those strawberries
oh they're horrible
eat it
how long have you been with her
my mum
my wife
too long
I don't know
we've been 23 years
so long time
and then we were
with each other
for seven years
before we got married
I didn't run down the aisle.
I saw loads of mates run down the aisle.
That was all over in six months.
So I was doing, you know, steady as we go.
Yeah, you pace yourself, don't you?
Sorry.
Sorry.
Just you saying that made me laugh a little bit.
Why?
No, no, no.
You've become very sensible in your old age.
He's a paceman.
He's a paceman.
I am.
Didn't you ask what I was planning after about four weeks?
Yeah, but I was fat and bald
in like 33.
So there was reasons
for your sprinting.
Doesn't mean that makes me a sprinter.
I need to tie it down.
And you can't talk
because you are snail pacemate.
Yeah, the snail wins the race.
Famously.
What is it?
The tortoise.
The snail wins the race.
I've been with my partner 12 years.
I mean, he got engaged this year.
Yeah. That's better than
starting at the older
and working your way
backwards
they only had sex
two years ago
so it's getting there
isn't it
it's nice
a decade in
let me
have sex with you
the snail
wins the race
I've got all the
fucking zingers
today mate
right
the next pet peeve
is from Joe Durant.
Why do girls have
legs? Have you seen the mess
snails make?
It just
reminded me I would not
agree with that joke in this day and age.
Is it cum, yeah? Like pussy
juice? Oh, I thought it was already
bad. I went to blood.
Oh, God. That bad. I went to blood. Oh, God.
That's a dying snail.
No, you know like the trail a snail leaves?
A snail trail.
A woman could do that with it
if her pussy was dripping
and she was like dragging herself along the floor.
We all had it.
Oh, my God.
Oh, Lord.
Travis Kelsey's a fucking shit player
and he's lucky Taylor Swift's looking at him.
Carry on, Phil.
Joe Durant says,
all right, fellas, got a pet peeve.
Eating a really good sandwich,
but the filling is too full and falls all over your lap.
No.
There's never been an overfilled sandwich
in the history of butties, mate.
Tell you what's worse, though.
Like people scrimping on a butty.
You get a bacon butty from somewhere
and there's two slices of bacon
on the whole sandwich.
Fuck off.
Yeah.
Do you not think there can be a time where it's just messy?
If it's a really messy sandwich, yeah.
It becomes like a gourmet burger.
You know when burger...
Yeah.
I had a burger recently and it was just burger shaped.
Make gourmet burgers.
This is nice.
Make them wider, not taller.
Yeah.
It's good chops.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, right. Here's the thing. No one relates taller. Yeah. Good chops. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, right.
Here's the thing.
No one relates this.
This is obviously an age thing,
but I don't think it happens now,
but sometimes you get a packet of crisps
and you open them and they'd be damp.
What?
They'd be damp and all of them were damp.
And you'd eat it and you'd go,
like, you know, you're expecting a crunch.
Oh, yeah. And it's damp. And you're like you know you were expecting a crunch and it's done and
you're like oh oh right and then we have the next crisp you've totally forgotten you ever play
pinball and one flipper is dodgy and every time the ball comes down you've forgotten that it's
dodgy and every crisp is disappointing like and every crisp is disappointing. And you go,
oh,
and then you think in the next show,
oh,
oh,
and then slowly
you start to be like,
steel,
yeah.
They don't come up as much.
No.
I hate that really burnt
cindery crisp.
No,
what?
That's the worst.
The burnt ones are the best.
You don't want to break your teeth
and you don't want to block
your teeth.
Oh,
they're bad,
man.
Oh,
mate.
They've been in the oven
like four times, just like burning in the corner like, mate. They've been in the oven like four times
just like burning in the corner
like, take me out.
Yeah, it's like a roast potato.
The burnt ones are the best.
Crisp packets are much bigger now,
aren't they?
Yeah.
Yeah, but there's less crisps in them.
Like the other ones
with the wagon wheels.
It's deceiving.
They're at their work.
Right.
I used to say,
like if you sometimes,
apparently,
if you took a box,
if you sent a letter to the crisp company,
they'd send you a box of crisps.
Just a letter going, can I have a box of crisps?
Oh, no, if you said, look, I've got a damn packet here.
Got to be careful where that letter ends up, haven't you?
I've got a damn packet.
I've got a damn packet and I want you to do something about it.
And you'd end up with a whole box of crisps.
I don't know if anyone ever...
Did you know every crisp goes out of date on a Saturday?
What?
Every packet of crisps goes out of date on a Saturday.
Come on.
What?
It does, yeah.
Packed.
What?
Every single packet of crisps goes out of date on a Saturday.
For why?
For why?
For law.
For why?
It's international law.
Is it?
Yeah.
International human crisp rights.
I think it's like From walkers to lays
Mate
All the same
Guy's sister's girlfriend
I've got a different
Flavoured condom
So what do you reckon
That one is
She goes
I think it's cheese and onion
He goes
I haven't got an onion
Because his dick smells
Because his dick really smells
Blood
Did you go to blood?
Blood
Animals If you don't If you don't wash your cock down It gets cheesy and oniony Doesn't it? Oniony? Oniony Because his dick smells. Because his dick really smells. Did you go to blood? Blood. Animals.
If you don't wash your cock down,
it gets cheesy and oniony, doesn't it?
Oniony?
Oniony.
Oniony now.
That's what Laura's like.
Go die for an onion.
And a shower.
Right, this one's from George Bollas.
What does cock taste like, I wonder?
Like, what's it most like?
Surprisingly good.
What?
Like, because people, like,
pussy's a bit like, it's like good fishy batteries, isn't it? It's like? Surprisingly good. What? Like, because people, like, pussy's a bit like,
it's like gold fishy batteries, isn't it?
It's like 2p coins.
Yeah.
Yeah, you've like left on the side.
Yeah.
Like sucking a quid.
Like a snail.
Like putting your tongue on a battery.
So what's cock?
Dan?
Hey, you think I'm a fuzzy eater,
but I know what dick's like.
I haven't had fucking kebab till last week.
You're the only man in here who's snogged a man, I think.
That's true.
What does cock taste like?
Yeah, that'd be a different snog, wouldn't it?
I guess he might have had the last cock that was in his mouth
on his tongue when you snogged him,
so you are the best place to have a guess.
What did he taste like?
Wrigley's.
Girls, can you write in below, what does cock taste like?
Thank you.
Just girls. Girls and gays we're all men i want girls to talk george bollis says uh when someone asks you a stupid question
when you have a mouthful of food and you have to do that awkward chew swallow and then reply
while they wait for an answer so you know when someone's chatting yeah yeah? Yeah, right, right, right. When the waiter
picks that as the perfect moment to ask if everything's okay,
you just put your biggest mouthful in.
Nando's are bad for that.
I think you're allowed to just not answer
at that point. If they're so bad professionally
that they can't time the
is everything alright with your meal? If you're literally
full of, that is all the answer you need.
Like, I've got a mouthful,
so obviously it's going pretty
well do you think they time it do you do time they time it when your mouthful so you can't
really complain because you've got a mouth that's literally what you do it so you can't complain
what the nando's in town i don't think they're timing anything mate i think they're wandering
around on ketamine just doing whatever they want that's how it feels like you get the punchline
of a story or something at the end of an anecdote and just walk right in
on the
yeah yeah
yeah when you're telling
like your big group
of mates a story
and you're just about
to drop the thing
and they come on
everybody like what you did there
oh anyway
Jewish he was
okay
nothing else
Sean what were you saying
forget it
you'll never hear that
punchline
Jewish
this one's from Craig similar I think pet peeve in. Forget it. You'll never hear that. Jewish.
This one's from Craig.
Similar, I think. Pet peeve.
When someone tries to talk to you and you've got headphones on.
I mean, that would make my job really hard,
wouldn't it?
That's a pet peeve.
I remember having headphones on for the first time in the language
laboratory at school, and we
were fucking around around and Peter,
he's got the headphones on
but he can't hear
because there are
those green ones
like from Russia
and those old ones
and he's going,
fuck, stop it,
she's looking at it.
Like he couldn't,
he wasn't aware
of the fact
that he was shouting
because he had
the headphones on.
Fuck, stop it,
she's fucking looking at it.
And the teacher could hear?
The teacher could hear.
Everyone could hear.
He was the only one with the headphones on
shouting his head off.
Yeah, solid.
I remember the first time I had headphones on.
Yeah, I mean, it doesn't take much to go.
What?
Like, if you just tap mine, it stops.
Fancy.
I had a comment on one of my Instagram
videos the other day saying I don't like
this fella.
I led on to him in town the other week
and he just blanked me completely.
Didn't even take his headphones
off. They're me and me
earpods obviously because that's all I wear.
I was like, so you've said hello
when I haven't heard you and you think I'm being rude
because I've got my earphones in.
Did they like you before that?
I don't know.
They might have just not liked you
if they were going to tell you they didn't like you.
Mad.
Mental.
Last one from Danny.
Do you know where they have a left ear and a right ear?
Why do they do that?
There's no real...
It's a fit.
Shape?
It is now a fit.
But it doesn't make sense on the old headphones
where they're exactly the same, does it?
No, it does because the thing's in a different position. It's going to each hole. Stereo. it but it doesn't make sense on the old headphones where they're exactly the same does it yeah
because
stereo
mono
correct good words
Danny Cooper says that last one and then
we'll do some advice walking into
a cobweb
no
anyone in Australia that's
a big thing
I want to noted for the record
that I did not mention Carl's mum's pussy there.
Oh, what a gentleman.
I mean, you did, didn't you?
What's that got to do with walking into a cobweb?
Because she's got a dusty old pussy.
Right.
And you're walking into it?
It's big.
She's not dead, but she loves getting smoked
She got a new fridge today
off me
Yeah
Well it's good
she paid for it
I hope she got it on time
You tight bastard
I got a new fridge
and a dryer
He
Nah
You know the woman
who raised this man
He has just sold
his mother a fridge
He didn't give her a fridge
I knocked a grand off this guy
A second hand fridge
He gave her a fridge and charged her a grand off. A second-hand fridge.
He gave her a fridge and charged her for it.
Isn't that bang out of order?
How much?
So I bought it for 1,400.
Oh, you bought it?
I bought it last year for 1,400,
sold it to her for 600.
Bargain.
You didn't knock a grand off then, did you?
I didn't knock a grand off. You tired bastard.
You liar.
I didn't knock a grand off.
It sounds like a grand, doesn't it?
I knocked about 10 grand off.
Bought it for about 800.
It's a lovely fridge.
She's got a new lovely fridge.
Yeah, she has,
because she paid for it.
She did.
Is it a fridge?
It's an American one.
Do you ever go to someone else's kitchen
and you just can't find anything?
Like the fridge is married in.
Yeah, that's what I've got now.
I didn't have that before
and I ate it already.
I don't like going to
someone else's house
to try and make a cup of tea
and you just don't know
you don't even know
where to start
like where are the cups
everything
have a good rummage
yeah yeah
so you're opening
every single drawer
it's a nightmare
when you're bageling
someone and you get thirsty
you're like I just want
a cup of before
I take that
you're like love
listen I'm just here
to rob you
where's the sugar
there's ghosts in my house
what
yeah
there's a ghost in my house
do you know what I'm gonna do
the other day
Seneca went
there's a ghost in the house
and I didn't believe her
and you know in the film
when only one person
can see the ghost
and all the family
like shut up
we always said to each other
if there's a ghost
we've got to believe each other
because you're only with
that person
like there isn't a ghost and then we all get murdered so she told me it was a ghost i didn't believe
and i'm like no actually sorry i didn't believe you and then i woke up yesterday by this like
someone put an hand on my shoulder and i was like oh that must be the ghost and then wasn't one of
the 75 builders you have there no it's 2 a.m 10 minutes later the smoke alarm goes off and in my
house the smoke alarm talks to you. And ghosts love cigars.
No.
What do you mean the smoke alarm talks to you?
So the smoke alarm goes, there is smoke upstairs.
Tells you where it is.
And it goes, I'm about to sound the alarm.
This will be loud.
That woke me up.
And there was no smoke.
Sorry, you've got a smoke alarm that talks to you?
Tells you where the smoke is.
All right, Carl.
Big fire in the kitchen, lad.
Better get down there.
I fucking started it
just to see if you're on your toes.
What?
So I'd just fallen back asleep
after getting woken up by a ghost
and then the hall started going,
there's a fire.
Carl, I think you might have a brain tumour, mate.
I think we need to look into this.
I'm worried about that.
That technology doesn't exist.
No, but it does.
There is smoke upstairs.
I named them all.
Is this your nana whispering to you again?
Carl, there's a fire? There's a fire.
There's a fire.
No.
Your grandad's got a fire
going in the garden.
Do you want some sausages, love?
You love your sausages.
You're so good at eating sausages.
Think of everything.
A smoker shingog.
A scourge of action.
No, she's a lovely woman,
but she scared me.
But she tells you
where in the house the smoke is,
and then there was no smoke
and the alarm didn't go off.
I think a ghost walked past it and set it off.
Right, so you got a faulty fire alarm,
and you dreamt that someone pushed you.
I mean, I'm not trying to be a myth buster.
See, you're doing it.
Look, in the film, when I die,
you're going to go, I didn't believe him.
Who's going to kill you?
The ghost.
You ghost smoke alarm.
Yeah, and also, if they're trying to kill you,
they're not going to tell you where the fire is.
Hey, don't worry about that.
There's loads of smoke, but there's no fire.
Go back to sleep, you're in our bed.
No, I think he walked past,
and because he's quite of a smoky being,
he set it off.
I actually Googled it,
and ghosts can set smoke alarms off.
What, is he like a sheet over his body?
Yeah.
Why else would it have gone off?
Who else woke me up?
Look, he's doing the thing in the film
where you don't believe the woman
and then she goes mad
and dies
and the dad goes
oh I didn't believe it
we went to the most
haunted places
and none of us saw anything
why is your house
more haunted
I just seen the ghost
of my past relationships
every theatre you play in
they'll say
there's a ghost
in this venue
every theatre
have you ever seen
a ghost here
no
okay good chat
no
well neither have I and I definitely haven't and I've been to the gaffs Have you ever seen a ghost year? No. Okay, good chat. No.
Well, neither have I.
And I definitely haven't,
and I've been to the gaffes where they're all hanging around.
You dipped your balls in a haunted lake.
I don't give a fuck.
I'd be more scared of staying over at Carl's.
Hang on,
have your sex life dried up since then?
What do you mean?
Since you dipped your balls in the haunted lake?
No, it was dry before.
It's pretty dry now.
I'm stunned.
Love you, babe.
Right, are we in the mood to give some advice?
Oh, my God.
We are, aren't we?
People get in touch with us.
Can I run the fuck off?
They were very gentle pet peeves, weren't they?
Yeah.
Walking through a cobweb.
Yeah, Finn, they weren't very good, them ones.
We're burning through them though.
We've got to bench
Simple Pleasures,
so we're doing...
Let's talk about
this off-puff bit.
Now we're talking about
how the sausage gets made.
Right,
this is from Anonymous.
Yes, lads,
love the pod.
Need some advice
as I think this will
bite me in the arse
at some point.
I currently work
a decent job in finance
and have done
for almost a
year now thing is i got the job on the back of a load of fake linkedin accounts i set up to give
me fake references and validate fake job experience legitimately set up about 15 new emails just to
make fake business accounts i've never had any experience in finance bar a college course i did
yet the higher-ups all believe that I'm some finance prodigy.
I'm in over my head a little bit.
Any advice of what I can do?
Keep your fucking head down, kid.
You are too far down the rabbit hole
to start getting fucking scared at this point.
Are you sure this is the plot of Suits, isn't it?
Oh, my God!
Is the ghost back?
Did you just do that?
Oh.
See, this is what happened, didn't it?
What?
Matthew set my smoke alarm off at half two in the morning, did he?
He probably could have.
She was in bed and she was scared.
I think she's gaslighting you.
They do it eventually.
That'll set it off as well.
They start gaslighting.
Honestly, what's the advice fake it till you make it jim do you like it i like keep your mouth keep your head
down don't say a word yeah yeah yeah i wonder who it is like a high on ceo of the company now or
head of that wagner group that was killed he had a false cv to get into there. Oh, really?
This is why my interest... He ended up...
Yeah.
This is why interest rates
are going fucking mental.
Because everyone's lying.
Because they're not checking LinkedIn.
To be honest,
you can't do a worse job
than people have been doing
in international banking
for the last 15 years.
So fuck it.
Just blag on.
You're a big into it
in international banking news,
aren't you?
I want to, yeah.
I am, I see.
Since 08, pretty into it.
Sorry, Geoff.
I went to poly. I pretty into it sorry Geoff I went to poly
I got HND
and
finished
I was 21
worked on a building
and
phoned up an agency
told
I was 21
I was told I was 26
1-2
in civil engineering
and they had
sent me to a job
as a civil engineer
setting out
and I was getting paid 750
quid a week and i was just lying through my teeth by the way having you on is one of the best that
like this is the episode for this isn't it look at how well he's fucking doing from absolutely
blagging his ass off yeah i'll give a advice to my kids you know you gotta do a wee bit of lying
like just don't,
you know.
To what Finn did to get his job,
he got his girlfriend
at the time,
but she's a cat
owning gobshite now.
He got his girlfriend
at the time
to make him a video
that got him the job he had
and then he got the job
and he was like,
yeah,
I don't know how to do that
but I can subtitle
some videos for you.
He didn't admit it initially.
We were like,
oh,
we'd love some animation
for the start of the pod
and after about eight months
when it hadn't happened,
it became obvious that his missus,
who he'd now split up with and wouldn't do the animation,
had done it.
Yeah.
Great blagging.
Look, we've not kicked you out, have we?
We've made it.
It's a fucking disgrace.
Thank you.
There you go.
After all of that,
you're going to be an Indian next year on a bike.
I met a guy, I was sitting tonight,
and he's watching something.
I go, what are you watching?
And he goes, oh, I'm just watching a YouTube video
on how to drive this digger.
I've told him I'm a digger driver.
Yeah, there is a limit to this.
There is a limit.
Digger is the line.
And then I reckon, you know, international flight.
Brain surgeon.
Yeah, brain surgeon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know much about this.
I wouldn't go past that.
No. That is the line. P wouldn't go past that. No.
No.
That is the line.
Pinnacle, that one.
Right.
We've got a couple of confessions to round us off.
Have we?
So what happens here,
people write in things they've done wrong.
Can I play the remix?
And we either give them absolution and say,
you're fine, don't worry about it,
or we give them a bit of penance.
Right.
We've got the jingle on.
Sorry, Jim, we're just going to have a little rave.
This one's so good.
Oh, it's a sneaky one.
Right, let's go for it.
Right.
Go on, Finn.
We've got two options. Go on. Right, let's go for it. Go on, Finn. We've got two options.
Go on.
Which one first?
So there's either the gross one or there's the sad one.
Sad one.
Sad one first.
Still gross, still coming back.
Still coming back.
Okay.
So, as always, these are anonymous.
Patreon.com.
Have a word pod.
Go and message in or what's the email?
Have a word pod at gmail.com.
Hey lads, I have a confession
that I need to get off my chest.
I worked at Pets at Home during COVID
mainly just as something to do.
We were given very little training. Honestly, it was kind
of laughable. Anyway,
one day we get a delivery of Venezuelan
Black Corey and they come...
Who's he?
Is that a new action figure?
I've got Dr. Cody.
I've got Venezuela and Black Cody.
This is a funny one.
It's not sad.
There's no way that we're not getting
Jade to design us
a line of action figures
called Corny now.
This year's
must-have toy.
Corny.
From Mattel.
Right.
Anyway,
we get a delivery.
Leave it there.
Just leave it there.
That is. We get a delivery. It's a fish. Obviously. we get a delivery. Leave it there. Just leave it there. I don't know if that is.
We get a delivery. It's a fish.
It gets telled later.
It gets telled, lad.
Aye, that story gets telled.
Anyway, one day we get a delivery.
You fucking IRA bastard.
We get a delivery.
That way.
And they come in the little plastic bags you get goldfish in at the fair.
To put the fish in the tank, you need to cut the top off the bag and pour them in.
On this occasion, I was slightly distracted
and accidentally decapitated one of the fish with the scissors.
Wow.
Praying no one would notice, I emptied the bag into the tank.
Yeah, it's a two-headed Corey.
Don't worry about that.
Yeah, it's a bleeding Corey.
Very normal notice.
Emptied the bag into the tank and carried on with my day.
Later on, a child came up to me and asked me why one of the blackfish had no head.
I didn't know what to say, so came up with the excuse that some of them just look like that and it might be deformed.
Do I deserve penance, both for decapitating the poor fish
and lying to the child?
Was it not dead?
Lying to children is fine.
As we've proved on this episode.
Was it not dead?
Yeah, it was dead.
Did you say it's dead?
Shut up.
Yeah, to a child.
Yeah, we've got a really bad case
in that tank of head foley ophiitis.
It's a nightmare.
It's getting them.
It's like bird flu.
I mean, the lie to the child you could who gives a fuck but the i mean if you work at a pet shop and you decapitate
any animal like that is bad isn't it i mean that should be well up there on the list
come on have you ever killed an animal jim what you ever killed an animal? Al-Qaeda Have you ever killed an animal Jim?
What?
Have you ever killed an animal?
Yeah I'm fortunate I have yeah
Go on
Fish
I've killed fish
I don't like kill
I like fishing but I don't like
You know killing them
I've got blood on my hands
Go on
From
No from freaking eating meat
Oh no I mean personally
I shot a bird once
She annoyed me
When I was a kid with an air rifle shot
And then I went over and it was dead
Felt bad
What kind of bit penguin?
No it was an eagle
Oh they're bastards anyway
You shot an eagle?
Not an eagle, a seagull
Shot in Ohio is it? Seagull not an eagle a seagull shot in Ohio
is it
seagull
I heard eagle as well
blew an eagle's head off
that's right
I need to do
I couldn't kill any animal mate
couldn't do
I know you could
you blow voles
let's just be sure
he wasn't trying to kill this fish
he wasn't like
do you know what
today's the day
some fish is getting
fucking Ken Bigley
didn't he
I swear to god
that wasn't what he did
he accidentally did it.
Ken Bigley was a journalist
who got beheaded.
What?
Ken Bigley.
He was a British journalist
who got beheaded by Al-Qaeda.
And now it's a phrase in
pets at home sort of vernacular.
On aisle two,
a fish has been Ken Bigley'd.
Someone clean it up, please.
Someone's Ken Bigley, the black corny.
Can someone Madeline McCann it, please?
The kids are crying.
Any penance?
Oh, God.
You can't be telling them it's Madeline McCann it.
They'll leave it with it.
It doesn't go for lunch.
That was good.
Go for tapas.
I'd shoot a pigeon.
We know you'd shoot lots of animals.
He said he'd blow a vole's head off.
Oh, that would spin.
Blow a what?
A vole?
Hyperbolic.
Vole?
Vole, yeah.
What are they?
It's like a little woodland creature.
Dan's family are like hunters.
Is it a bird or is it?
It's a little woodland rat thing. It's a little gobshite. That's what it is. Dan's family are like hunters. Is it a bird or is it? It's a little woodland.
It's like a feather.
It's a little gobshite.
That's what it is.
Threatening my livestock.
A rabid vole.
Oh, it's getting his head fucking kicked in.
I don't think he's got any penance.
No penance.
Oh, maybe.
No.
I think it was an accident,
but if this ever happens again,
then people are going to start to ask questions.
So your penance is
don't behead any animals
till the day you die
it said they had very little training
it must be mad working in them shops
where you just
like one day a training
I've got to be honest with you
I think I could figure out
how to not behead any fish
what training do you need
to open a bag
oh it's bag opening training on Tuesday
don't behead anyone
oh my god
we didn't do scissors Wednesday
I thought it was
I thought it was something
just like
two heel marys and an Our Father
and you're back on board again.
There you go.
No fish fingers for a year.
Yeah.
I can't even remember the last time I had a fish finger.
No fish based meal.
You've got to go without it.
You've killed a poor black fish.
You're not allowed to enjoy that tasty, tasty meat,
which we all enjoy, don't we?
A lot of healthy oils in fish.
Oh, I'm always fishing on a Friday.
What's your favourite fish, Dan?
What?
Favourite fish?
To eat, not just to look at.
Priced tuna.
Is it, yeah?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So like next week's Dan versus food,
if that was like a big fish platter,
that'd be all right, would it, yeah?
That would be a major problem for everyone.
Would it, yeah?
Would it?
Oh, dear.
Or when I puke everywhere, yeah.
Oh, that wouldn't make good content, would it?
Oh, no.
I'm just not going to, I can't do it.
Do you like yellow haddock?
You can and you will.
I'll shoot a tuna.
Do you like yellow haddock?
Famously.
Yeah, yeah, like the smoked haddock.
We're going to have some fish and chips next week, lad.
Fine, that looks like the most palatable.
And kippers.
Kippers and tuna.
Oh, no, Jim.
Any kind of sort of thin meat.
Two crustaceans.
Loads of bones.
I know, I hate fish bones. They make me sick. Yeah, lobster. Oh kind of sort of thin meat. Two crustaceans. Loads of bones. I know, I hate fish bones.
They make me sick.
Yeah, lobster.
Oh, lobster's great.
If you do the cracking.

Cod.
Just cod, like a nice deep cod.
He's never eaten a fish in his life, Jim.
No.
He had Donner me for the first time the other day.
What meat?

All right.
Zach's wife.
Because I'm very healthy.
I look after myself, you know. You don't work out this much and eat crap go on next question next one right round us off this is a pretty
heavy one uh right anonymous so um this is kind of a confession it's also i have a word as well
but they've written in as a confession need you to have a word with a lad i came into contact
with a while back while working in birmingham basically i work up and down the uk
monday to friday so we were talking about hotels and things seen and done in random towns while
alone this is where he confessed to me about his mate kink i quote that because i'm 99 sure he was
talking about himself but didn't want to admit it this is all coincidence but uh that lad let's
call him jake gets off to wanking into the hotel moisturizer and then thinking about the women that
are going to rub it on their face and body i nearly slapped him and just ended the conversation
and went home what penance does this lad deserve he deserves to be put in prison why do we keep
getting these sex criminals writing in? That is against the law.
Well, he's not written in.
It's his mate grassing him up.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't know many women that use just hotel moisturiser.
That's me.

Did you do confession back in the day?
Used to say the rosary every morning going to school,
on the way to school,
and then we'd say it at night,
and then go to mass most school days.
And did you go in the confession box?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, okay.
What was your priest like?
Was it a strict one? Loads of different ones, but yeah, yeah. Alright, okay. What was your pre-sign? Was it a strict one?
Loads of different ones.
But yeah, you just made up sins. You lied as soon as
you got in there. You just token sins.
Stayed out late.
Was nasty to my mum.
Just in there, alright.
Two Hail Marys.

bye When all I've said and done
Comes crashing around me
When all my worth is gone
When all the sound begins to fade
You break that silence, you are the only one
I was searching for somewhere to run, to run, to run
When all this work you've done
Comes crashing around you
When all your words are gone
When all the sound begins to fade
Everything is falling to you
Everything is falling to you Everything is falling to you Thank you. I'll be searching for somewhere to run, to run, to run
When we reach out through the blue
And all our words are echoes
Then I'll recognize the way
That will always lead me back to you
It leads me back to you
It leads me back to you It leads me back to you
It leads me back to you
You break my silence
You are the only one
I was searching for somewhere
To run, to run, to run
You break my silence
You break my silence
You break my silence you
