All right, we're on.
We're on, yeah.
Fuck.
You scared of technology, Mike?
Huh?
I am so, I'm completely like technically challenged.
I'm so dumb.
Challenged in quite a few ways, really.
Huh?
Challenged in quite a few ways.
Oh, yeah. I'm so stupid. I can't stop ways really huh challenged in quite a few ways oh
yeah i'm so stupid i can't stop shitting as well is this a recent thing or no i know it's i've all
i've always had it but recently it's it's kicked up a notch ibs huh i think so like like this
morning so i'm staying with uh hattie preston you know great uh comics great and i took i think i
took like and her house is so nice It's like lavender smelling towels and everything.
And I just, the shits I took.
The shits on her towel?
Huh?
Well, I just thought, I wrongly thought,
I didn't think it was going to be liquidy.
So I thought it'd be funny,
but then it just was watery and I just destroyed it.
A towel?
Yeah.
So you thought it would be funny to just poo on her towel?
Yeah, but if it came out as like a solid kind of poo,
but then it came out like
just and i was like oh fuck that's not good you know you're never staying in mind all your towels
have got poo on anyway but you know do you know what i got uh i got reminded of the other day
because i was back home in uh i was back home on the farm in ireland and my mother told me about
because i was just obviously i was back home and i was just sh. And my mother told me about it because I was just, obviously I was back home
and I was just shitting like a madman.
Because I know the,
because my parents know,
so it's like I can really be myself
and just spend all,
most of the time in the toilet.
So, but my mother used to write notes.
She had to write notes to the school for me
and I hadn't been diagnosed with that.
And so I would just have a note on me at all times
that Michael like needs to shit a lot
So like I'd be I'd like a shitting license. I swear to God
It was so sick cuz then like anytime the middle class I'd be like waving there my little note
I'd be like I need to go for it. I need to go for a fucking shit
Like those kids in our school those kids in our school who just went sick
I mean, yeah, like mad like not like vomit like don't mean my go say yes Oh sick. Yeah, those kids in our school who just went sick. Do you know what I mean? Not like mad, like not like vomit. Like, do you know what I mean?
Like go sick.
Like I'll go sick.
Like there was kids in our school.
Clearly disabled and we didn't know.
Yeah, yeah.
They were disabled.
It was like, well, you know,
Alan goes sick.
So sometimes like if Alan got a bit fucking,
he'd be like, right, Alan needs,
Alan could just go,
I need to go for the walk
or I'm going to go sick.
And they'd be like, yeah, go on, Alan.
Yeah.
There's no Alans.
I once wrote,
you were Alan for a bit.
I was Alan for a bit. I'm a power ballad artist. Go on. I wrote a letter to Mr. Remember Mr. Capstick? Yeah. I once wrote... You were Alan for a bit. I was Alan for a bit.
I'm a power ballad artist.
Go on.
I wrote a letter to...
Remember Mr. Capstick?
Yeah.
The one who used to fake a note.
I can't remember what the note was about.
But the first letter of every line
said,
Capstick's a cunt.
And I really thought
I'd gotten away with it.
But it was so bang on.
He's a grown man.
I was like 14.
Ah, it's just me.
Capstick's a cunt. You devil. Like you're mad at it was like 14 going ah it's just me it's just capsticks and cunts
you devil
like your mum
had done it
imagine if she
had done that though
imagine how much
trouble if your mum
had done that
accidentally
and then you
get in trouble for it
she'd probably agree
with me
he is a cunt
yeah
there was a
fucking
there was a fella
in our
in our class
that had
unbelievable
like handwriting
you know
so people
would always get him
to write notes to the fucking,
for the teacher to get out.
Like, they just want to go with Dawson,
so they get him to write notes and they have to go somewhere.
And one of the lads in our class was, like, just a real tick fucker.
You know what I mean?
He could fucking barely read.
He was a tough cunt, though, you know.
So he came up to your man, he's like,
hey, can you write me a note for the teacher saying that I have to,
you know, that I have to leave class for some reason here can you write me write me a note for the teacher saying that i have to you know that i have to leave class for some reason so your man writes him the note anyway your man puts his hand up goes up to the teacher with the note
the teacher looks down at low and he goes brian you need to go to the gynecologist
yes yes oh lad well like our school lad
was especially the first few years
that I was in it it was just
absolutely insane
like it was from like the top down our principal
was a lad called mad lad
he was called mad lad he was out of his
mind he would just he would run
around kicking pieces of rubbish
and and and shouting at them he go whoa and he built like a plastic bottle and he go whoa
and he was just insane but that bled down through the whole school so there was just like
like fuck all discipline people he's running the fucking gaff that's right so it's just this air
of wildness and madness like no discipline like i had lads in my class who'd stick up their hand.
I remember one time we had this female teacher,
he put up his hand and he just said,
miss, she was like, yeah, what is it?
What is it they're calling me?
He said, you know what you need?
A good stiff cock up the arse.
And she just like pretended she didn't hear it
because she was like, she knew nothing would be done, right?
But one time we had lads. Pretend she didn't hear it. Yeah was like, she knew nothing would be done, right? But one time we had, lad.
Pretended she didn't hear it?
Yeah.
Miss.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know you need a big cock up your ass, miss?
Yeah.
No, there she goes.
Yeah.
But, oh, lad, it was insane.
One time, this is true.
When I was in second year, so I was 14,
and this is the greatest day of my life.
We had a riot in the school. We had a revolution. So like we, I was in second year, so I was 14, and this is the greatest day of my life. We had a riot in the school.
We had a revolution.
So, like, we, I swear on my life, this is the greatest day.
Like, strange ways.
Oh, lad, it was like fucking Lord of the Flies.
We went fucking, we went there.
We all went sick.
We all mad.
So, basically, what?
You had a revolution?
What were you trying to overthrow?
Mad lad and the boys. So boys so basically what happened right there was a uh there was a a uniform day or we were supposed to
get a no uniform day right on a friday and they took that away from us so we were always in uniform
you know it's like catholic you know very pedo catholic vibes you know what i mean like we're
all catholic school huh we went to catholic school yeah you know that you know what I mean? We went to Catholic school. Huh? We went to Catholic school. Yeah. You know the crack.
So we were promised a no uniform date.
That got taken away from us.
No explanation, no justice.
We just don't have it anymore.
Now, there's a fella in our sixth year,
a man named Matty Cowman, a great man, a wild man, a leader.
Cowman?
Cowman.
Matty Cowman.
He was a man that was a cow.
Did you ever see a cunt
he just looked
his hair was that black
and his face was that white
he was just like
did you ever see a cunt
that's just in black and white
there does
do you know what I mean
used to be a cowboy
yeah
he was just a fucking
cow
of a man
but he had this wild
so that wasn't his surname
huh
no
right okay
he was just Matty
but he became
Matty Cowman right
and he had this spiky
hair like dennis de menace he had these fucking wild glint and eyes he was just had this fucking
uh you know kinetic fucking energy he was a he was a madman he used to go out with my cousin
should he be nearly riding her through the wall you know he had a fucking arsed him like a sewing
machine but so she'd be smiling from she smiled from ear to ear that whole year anyway uh so next thing what
happens is right me and my friends are coming back from uh lunch and we just hear this like low din
of a fucking oh what the fuck is that you come out onto the pitch cowman has a tie wrapped around
his head and he has a fucking bower on do you know bower on so bower on is an irish instrument it's
like made out of fucking cow skin fucking funnily enough right and you have this little kind of a
wooden spoon which that's a good yeah a wooden spoon a wooden spoon miss money penny
i wouldn't i'll hit you with a wooden spoon. Give her a little slap of a wooden spoon.
I've missed that James Bond.
I've missed that scene in James Bond.
Have you not seen that Sean Connery interview?
From back in the day?
What, when he slaps Moneypenny with a spoon?
No, he's getting interviewed on the news, to promote his new film.
And the woman interviewing him like female reporter
She goes you've made some like comments about women in the past and like sort of keeping them in line like sort of
Like physicality and stuff. So do you still stand by all that like with the new film coming out?
He's standing by you phone words. He goes I don't, Ronald Koeman, so he's brought in the new James Bond.
I don't think it should work.
442.
I play Bergwijn on the level.
Give him a slap.
He literally says, I don't think it's the worst thing in the world to give a woman a little slap.
Give her a little slap.
And the woman goes, you want to slap women?
He goes, no, it's a last resort.
If you've tried to reason with them
and they won't see sense,
just give them a little slap.
And it has aged terribly.
Is he dead?
Oh,
he's dead now.
Sean Connery.
Oh,
he's dead.
He's dead duck.
Worm food.
Stage name as well,
you know,
Sean Connery.
Yeah,
it was too,
yeah.
But so,
your one was in the interview,
she's just like,
Sean,
do you hear what you are saying right
now you are saying you should hit a woman and he's just like he's like well he's like the woman
always tries to have the last word he's like i'll give her the last word you hit her a little schlap
and the easy you can do sean connolly can you that was so bad you know i know that even as i
was doing that i was like that stinks's awful. Obviously, it's awful,
but that is what we were referencing
by a slap of the spoon.
Right, so slap of the spoon.
So anyway,
Cowman's out there with a bower on.
So this is complete.
So this is cowskin,
cowskin and a spoon.
And he's there.
See, this is like an Irish kind of drumbeat
that would be used to drum up
kind of resentment and hate
against the English kind of thing.
So do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
So he's there in the middle.
Do-do-do-do-do.
Ah! And he goes in to be west. So, so he's there in the middle.
And he goes into BWFs.
So,
he's doing this shit.
He has a lot of his like cowman's kind of
cronies
are all around him.
The cowboys?
The cowboys,
yeah.
The cowmen.
Are you sure you haven't
stole this from the film
The Warriors?
No,
fuck no.
If anything,
if anything,
if anything,
they were influenced by cowmen.
Now,
so, a cowmen is there
the lads around them
they all have their
ties around their heads
so we come out
we see on the hurling field
this is happening
and he's just going
so next thing
just like fucking
flies to a big
pile of shite
everyone just starts
flocking up around
cowmen
and next thing
there's hundreds of us
just up on the hurling field
he's going
now at this time right it's about fucking a minute to two two o'clock we're supposed to go
back to class so the countdown is coming on right suddenly it gets to 10 seconds to like you have to
go back to class and then it's like the clock is ticking the clock hits two and we just get this
feeling we all look at each other we're like we're not fucking going back in. We're not going back into class.
And just everyone just goes, ah!
And we were just all like fucking nuts, dancing like this.
So next thing anyway, the fucking, the teachers come out, right?
The teachers come out and they're like, what the fuck's going on here?
They see us shouting.
Now, the thing is, some of the teachers have been waiting for this fucking day.
They've been knowing that there was going to be a fucking a clash at some point now
what you need to know about kenny where i'm from is it's the biggest hurling county in ireland
right now hurling is a sport where you carry around pieces of timber it's mean machine yeah
i know but so what you have to know is we all have big pieces of timber in our hands right
because this is a hurling school.
That's the sport we play.
So not only is there hundreds of students,
but think about if every student had a baseball bat, right?
We all have these big pieces of timber,
but the teachers have them too, right?
So these teachers come out and they say to us,
they're like, get back into class, get back into class.
Now Cowman is staring them down like a wild bull.
Have the teachers picked the bats up on their way out? Not a bat, a hurl, lad. No, but I know what it looks like. It down like a wild bull. I know, wait, sorry. Have the teachers picked the bats up on their way out?
Not a bat, a hurl, lad.
No, but I know what it looks like.
It's like a curl thing.
Yes, that's right.
Have they, on their way out, like loaded up?
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Lad, I'm not even joking.
They have.
They've come out with the hurls.
And they're like, get the fuck, get the fuck back in the class.
And so as they start approaching towards our group, he's still there.
And Cowman just shouts, charge!
Right?
So we fucking peg it.
I'm talking like the running of the bulls in Pamplona in Spain.
Just, bro!
We all running down past teachers.
Now, at this stage, one of the teachers, I'm going to call him for legal reasons,
Binky Swan, right?
Now, Binky Swan. No, no, no, no, no. What? You can't say for legal reasons.
Yeah. Binky Swan. Binky Swan. Why Binky Swan? Because that rhymes very heavily with his
actual name. Capstick was a cunt. That's his real name. Binky Swan. Yeah, I'm trying to
protect the identity of Pinky Kwan. What's his name?
Come on.
That's his name.
Pinky Kwan was our teacher.
Sounds like a martial artist in like a Bruce Lee movie.
Well, he certainly did.
I don't think you've seen any Bruce Lee films.
What?
Pinky Kwan.
No, no.
Any name in that voice.
You could put them in a Bruce Lee film.
No.
Carly Glamour.
Pinky Kwan.
Yeah, see? No, that doesn't make sense yet. No, I was wrong. Pinky Kwan. No. Car, regular. Doesn't work. Yeah, see?
No, that doesn't make sense yet.
No, I was wrong.
You know what?
You didn't kick one.
No, I tried to pull you up on something there,
and I was bang out of order.
What you said made perfect sense.
Look at Finn counting the days that he hasn't got a job.
Yeah.
Are you hungover again?
No.
Are you a little bit?
It's a two-dayer.
It's a two-dayer.
No, I'm fine.
I'm all right today.
Did you have booze yesterday? No. No, I'm fine. I'm all right today. Look at the baggy jumper.
Did you have booze yesterday?
No.
Okay.
I'm relatively fine.
Finn's Peter Barlow, isn't it?
Two-day.
No.
Finn's recently discovered alcohol.
Oh, Jesus.
That's no good.
Carry on with your story.
It's a devilish little bit of juice.
Nasty soup.
So...
What did I say before we start?
This is...
Oh, what the hell?
Oh!
Pinky Quark.
Oh, I said nasty soup, not Nazi soup.
Come on now.
Hey now.
Adam did tell me before, he said,
don't say anything racist,
which is a fair request.
And as soon as you said that, I was like,
crumpling up pieces of paper and fucking away.
I was like, Jesus.
So we charge down, right?
And Pinky Kwan.
Now, Pinky Kwan has brought out two hurls, right?
He stands in the middle of the field
and just starts swinging them like nunchucks.
He's like, come on, you fuckers.
Right?
So like we're all just running past.
It's a big mad ground,
like the grounds of our school.
So there's like fields, fields, fields all around.
So we just run down like to another pitch.
He's like, wah, right?
So next thing, now there's this fucking air of fucking,
I've never been more exhilarated in my life.
Just like, fuck you.
There are no rules.
You don't have to go to class.
And there's too many of us for you to do fucking that and about it.
Sick, right?
So we're busting on down.
Next thing, more teachers come out.
Now the teachers start fucking arguing with each other.
Like, one of them's, like, shouting at me.
He's like, you can't swing or hurl at children.
He's like, you shut the fuck up, Brian.
You should have retired 20 years ago, you fucking cunt.
Right, people are just fucking grabbing at each other, screaming.
More teachers come down to try to get us again
because we land down at this bottom pitch
and again, cowmen, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
Like to think that even the teachers,
this must be their worst nightmare.
Just all the fucking children
to have pieces of timber,
a man fucking leading them
who has clearly no tether to reality whatsoever.
Right?
Just this mad fucking half bull of a man
just da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
So next thing, we fucking charge up again
past the teachers.
They're trying to catch us.
Now, at this stage, there's kind of like,
even the idea of society and morality and rules has just left us.
You know, we've just become these kind of...
It doesn't feel like you've had much of that to begin with.
I'll be honest with you.
You're right.
We were kind of like, there was something at that time.
It was a different time.
This is like 2004, you know?
Oh, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Different time! Like the 1600s. There was a nastiness. There was a cruelty. There was a different time this is like 2004 you know it was you know what I mean different time
like the 1600s
there was a nastiness
there was a cruelty
there was a wildness
Anton went
so like
we were kind of
we'd become like the
people still went
really over 9-11
it was very much
it was a hangover
to 9-11
a lot of it
a lot of it
was a protest
against Bush's government
and the Iraq war
rural Ireland
yeah
everyone's got Timber boy was a protest against Bush's government and the Iraq war. Royal Island? Yeah.
And that's what's in there?
Boy!
So we run up and now, like I said,
kind of like order has ended,
morality has ended and nastiness starts seeping in.
So there was a lady,
a French teacher named Miss Hennessy
who decided to come out
and try to help with getting us in.
But she was like a fresh piece of meat
to the wolves
and she didn't
as we were running by
running past
up through the field
like everyone like
aah
a fella named
Heater Shady
we'll call him
Peter Brady
yeah
fuck
oh no
Jesus
that was quick
fucking hell
what else could it possibly be I don't know I think we all thought Peter Brady yeah it could have been Jesus, that was quick. Fucking hell.
What else could it possibly be? I don't know.
I think we all thought
Peter Brady.
Yeah, it could have been O'Grady.
We didn't know,
but you've nailed it in one there.
I tried my best, Peter.
But, um,
so anyway,
he and her shady
were walking past
and he decides
in the fucking Malay,
the wildness,
the carnival type atmosphere,
he'll get his own pound of flesh.
So he grabs out and grabs the left buttock of Miss Hennessy.
Oh.
The greedy.
The one that's in his heart?
Yeah.
The greedy hand of Shady took what it deserved, right?
Drive by.
Grabbed it.
Oh.
Right.
Now at the time, of course, again, it's 2004.
So we thought legend, you know, good man.
Right.
So he ran on. He thought it'd never come back. It did in the end. But so we run legend you know good man right so he ran on he thought
i did never come back it did in the end but so we run on we're running past now now the teachers
have gone uh spared they're all shouting threats at the students we will you're all going to be
expelled blah blah blah now at this point a weakness starts to rise up in some of the students
a cowardice like a poison a poison and you start to see the kind of the students. A cowardice. Like a poison. A poison.
And you start to see the kind of
the half men,
the kite men.
Men that the wind
would blow away.
What did we say?
Carry on.
Oh yeah.
I just repeated
what you said today.
So anyway,
some lads decide
that they're going
to fucking
hand themselves in.
Make a plea deal.
Company men.
Weasels.
Right?
Shills.
Men who would have
drank the Queen's soup.
Now, if you don't know
what the Queen's soup was,
back in the Irish famine,
when there was lads
dying with grass
stains around their mouth.
I honestly thought
you were saying men
who would have, like,
licked the Queen out.
I would have licked
the Queen out.
We've said this before.
I'd have fucking
absolutely valeted
that asshole.
I would have. Yeah. Not because I We've said this before. I'd have fucking absolutely valid to that arsehole. I would have.
Yeah.
Not because I fancy it,
just because I want to be able
to tell people I've done it.
Don't come back for an hour
and I'll hang a little fucking
pine off an arsehole as well.
Imagine getting to say
and be telling the truth,
I have made Queen Elizabeth
squares all over her bedroom.
Imagine being able to say that though.
The rab would have my head
on a spike if I did that.
No. If I did that no
if I gave that woman
any pleasure
no that's fuck it
they wouldn't want me
to make her cum
they'd want me to shag her
but they certainly
wouldn't want her
enjoying it
they wouldn't want her
eyes rolling back
in her head
like ugh
no way
they'd want me
to cum quick
and then tell her
to fuck off
that's what
the Irish Republican
Army would want for me and that's what i give to them i give
her one of the worst shags she's ever had good man i wouldn't even kiss her what's the queen's
soup huh so the queen's soup is uh so basically back in the day back in the irish famine days
right uh which we all know well and uh that's when your
ancestors really came over to this fucking place right not yours yet proddy cunt but
i'm just not all from this country if you're a cat like you're from ireland they're the rules yeah
yeah yeah there you go now uh sorry for calling you proddy cunt carol you're not
stee is yeah stee is right all right you're a proddy cunt, Karl, you're not. Stayers. Yeah, stayers, right. Okay, yeah.
You're a proddy cunt, stay.
Orange blossom.
Yeah, wrong target there.
So anyway, basically,
so there was people dying in the famine famously.
And so the lads would be so hungry
that they'd fucking eat the grass
and there'd be grass stains on their mouth
and they'd be dead on the fucking floor.
And basically the English said to them,
here, listen now
what we'll do
is we'll give you
a drop of soup
if you'll agree
to become Protestants
right
this was called
taking the Queen's soup
right so it was
Queen Victoria
at the time
so they're like
that was basically
you
did she make it
huh
is that a soup kitchen
in the past
Queen Victoria this is what people don't know she spent all of the 1840s in a soup kitchen in the back Queen Victoria
that's what people don't know
she spent all of the 1840s
in a soup kitchen
in the west of Ireland
thousands of these to feed
all hungry
not to be bleak
but that eating grass
is rough isn't it
I know
the grass stains around the mouth
it's fucking
it's shocking
so anyway
I told this story
this honest guy
I told it to Freddieinn recently and then the
next time i saw him he had grass stains around his mouth he just he didn't know you could eat grass
but uh so it just gave him ideas but uh
so anyway uh so basically the lads that went in they went inside to the school to make a deal
rat people out
cut a deal with the government
and they went in
weak
weak
weak
pathetic men
who'd get you killed at war
right
but the rest of us
stayed out
those of us
who had a little thing
called integrity and courage
we all stayed out
right
now what ended up happening
was we ended up back
on the soccer pitch
which was back
at the end of the school
right
and we were there we started taking our fucking ties off burning them now at this stage
like completely like all kind of semblance of decency and fucking order has dissolved like
people have been like taking shits on pitches and you know what i mean like it was just we had
become kind of a a pack of roving wild apes you know time frame of this so basically from two o'clock
there's only two classes left so from two o'clock to 3 20 so it's basically an hour and 20 minutes
right that we have to stay stay out here now some of the lads have fucking deserted and it was proper
order they would have been lined up and shot like in the fucking irish war of independence but they
are not going to go into that so we end up
at the back
football pitch right
we're burning fucking
we're burning ties
there's just like
we're all just
fucking horny
with fucking
anti-establishment energy
we're just like
fucking yes
I knew there was
no real rules
this is fucking
bullshit right
we're banging our hurls
Cowman was fucking
you know was eating
the blood of a
fucking pigeon he'd eaten.
He was like, ah!
He probably had grass even when he had the option for the southern.
Cowman.
Yeah.
The clue's in the name.
Cowman.
He loved a drop of grass.
Grass fed.
Christmas dinner.
Grass.
Right?
So we're there.
We're burning our ties.
We're fucking, we're screaming.
We're like fucking these wild dogs.
Next thing we'll say to protect for legal reasons,
the vice mincible,
Licky Ration,
the vice mincible comes out, right?
Licky Ration.
Licky Ration.
But what's his real name?
Ricky Bashan?
I really can't say this.
This guy, I've gotten in trouble with law
with this guy already. So I can't actually say that. This guy, I've got in trouble with law with this guy already.
So I can't actually say that this is not a joke.
I can tell you that story later.
It's a different one.
But he is a litigious individual, right?
He likes to fucking, he likes to get the law involved in things.
So I will say.
From you talking about him on stage and stuff?
Yeah, well, the time that I got in trouble with him
was because of a prank call we made on him.
And then he called the police and I was arrested.
But I'm not even going to, we won't go into that now.
Can we guess his name?
I can't imagine what it'd be like to be sued
for something you've said in Pistons of Fumar.
Yeah, I know.
You'll have to use your imagination on that one, Adam.
But your famous imagination.
Mickey Cashin.
Huh?
Mickey Cashin.
You're close,
but let's just leave it at that.
Let's leave it there.
Let's not say the name.
So,
anyway,
we're there.
He comes out
and he thinks in his mind
that the sheer gravitas
of his position
as vice-minsible
is going to
strike fear
into the hearts
of the rioters
and we're going to say,
oh Jesus,
we were...
By the way,
vice-minsible makes him sound
like the deputy leader of the rioters. And we're going to say, oh Jesus, we were... By the way, vice-minceable makes him sound like the deputy leader
of the gays.
I'm the vice-minceable.
You know,
I just mince a little bit.
So anyway,
what ends up happening,
he comes out
and he stands in front of everyone
as if like,
we're all going to be like,
oh no, we've done wrong.
But sure, isn't it like
waving red flag in front of a bull? start going fucking ape everyone starts going fuck you and
then everyone at once starts uh chanting ration socks cock ration socks cock what do you want
huh what do you want from this they want non-uniform we want a non-uniform day we want
to wear our sweatpants i want to wear my United jersey don't take that away from us lads
that's the only thing we look forward to
is coming in our jerseys
hundreds of school kids
tooled up and attacked teachers
so they could wear Man United's
99 away kit
lads
it was a great kit
like we
so basically
that was what we wanted at the start
but by the time it just kind of comes
on it was just a case of anarchy for the sake of anarchy and just you know just he can all fuck
off right but so he comes out and he just stands there and like and he's just taking it like he's
just like you know like so we're like rations of scott and he kind of like standing there as if
he's like he will not bend but then like, like, a bottle of Coke and it just, like, kind of clipped his head.
And then he had to just hurry back in.
You lot don't scare me.
And he just scurries back into the fucking, into the school.
Minces off.
But so then at this stage now,
and Cowman is still, like, you know, in full flight,
you know what I mean?
He's now feeling like fucking Stalin
or Mao Zedong
or, you know,
it's just,
he's full of the,
all the evils of power,
you know?
So next thing.
Who's the second one
after Stalin there?
Huh?
Mao Zedong.
Who's Mao Zedong?
Mao Zedong was
the communist leader
of China
from 1949
to the late 70s.
Chairman Mao, isn't it? Chairman Mao, yeah. Say that then. Well, so look, I'm trying to give late 70s. Chairman Mao, innit?
Chairman Mao, yeah.
Say that then.
Well, so look, I'm trying to give the full name.
I'm trying to enrich all of our lives.
Oh, is that Mao?
Is that Chairman Mao?
Chairman Mao.
So Mao's just short?
I thought his first name was Chairman
and his surname was Mao.
Right, okay.
Chairman Mao.
And his full name is Mao Zedong.
Our first child we shall call Chairman.
Yeah, but like Chinese people
always have like an English name, don't they?
They do a lot, yeah.
So that's like when you see
like a fucking Chinese fella called Ian,
you're like, well,
is that a fucking chairman?
Do you know what I mean?
I thought it was just lost in translation.
No.
Mao Zedong.
It does sound like he's got a little dick, doesn't it?
Yeah, it does, yeah.
And he was a...
Yeah, about chairman.
He's got a bit of a Mao Zedong.
He was shagging
everything that moved
Mousy Dong now famously
he
he apparently would
all release the
Chairman Mao
no it's Genghis Khan
you're thinking
Genghis Khan
yeah
you're related to
Mousy Dong
but you're about
the only one here
you're only related
to Chairman Mao
like he was just
pillaging the world
shagging everyone
yeah
he was more Genghis Khan yeah butging everyone yeah he was more kind of yeah yeah
but uh Mao Zedong famously there at one point he he taught that uh the people that were kind
of out to conspire against China were the crows and he killed in one year he had them uh everyone
kill all the crows in China so like all of China was just covered in fucking dead crows he was like
crows are the enemy of China so crowsows, dead crows everywhere. Right. And then, but what happened
was it turned out the crows were eating the fucking insecticides off the plant to like
save the plant. So once the crows were dead, all the plants just fucking died and they'd
a famine and about 20 million people died. And he was like, maybe the crows were sound.
Fuck.
But anyway,
so Cowman's Dairy
is full of all this.
Now, at this point,
like probably the most
senior teacher in the school,
former tennis pro
and PE teacher,
Silly Holster,
comes out.
these are all euphemisms
for sexual parts,
aren't they?
Silly Holster.
Get your cock out
and put it in my silly holster.
Put your mouse-a-dong in my silly holster. Put your mouse-a-dong
in my silly holster.
It'd be if you had
like a clown nose
on your vagina
just like your silly holster.
So he comes out
in a very tanned man,
luscious curly hair,
a man of the 70s,
you know,
a man who's put his willy
in a lot of places.
So he came out, he's t out, he used to have a jag,
like a fucking beautiful jaguar.
He was a big fuck off to the rest of the teachers.
He was way richer than the rest of the teachers.
But he came out anyway and Silly Holster taught,
listen, I'm a former semi-tennis pro.
These boys will surely kneel to my authority.
So he comes out, right?
And it's like, hey boys.
He had this like weird transatlantic accent.
He's like, hey boys,
enough of the horse play.
We've had enough of this now, boys.
Silly holsters here.
He also used to commentate
on baseball games in the 30s.
So he came out
and he was like, hey now,
like enough of this, boys.
Right?
And he's saying this to lads
who have shit on pitches,
who have just like literally,
you know, ties are burning. They're like, ah, he's like enough now,ads who have shit on pitches, who have just like literally, you know, ties are burning.
They're like, ah, he's like, enough now, boys.
So next thing anyway, this was fucking,
this was not enough for fucking Cowman.
Cowman literally on a dime,
throws his pants to the floor,
turns around and shows his bare arse to Billy Holster.
Then he spreads his arse cheeks.
And now this is not a fucking clean arse.
You know what I mean?
It's not a clean arse.
Cowman.
You think Cowman's fucking...
And he's soiled with his poo.
Huh?
There'd be bits
of that kind of thing up there.
You know what I mean?
Cowman's not,
is not a diligent
fucking cleaner.
Do you know what I mean?
He gives it a wipe
and he says,
ah, to hell.
Right?
Doesn't even look at it.
Just throws it against the wall and fucking moves on.
So he spreads his arse cheeks to silly Holster.
Now, I swear to God, I've never seen a whiter arse in my life.
There was a shine off.
Like, this was, this, him showing his arse to silly Holster, to me, is like a Che Guevara moment.
Like, it was like, is the symbol of freedom, of anti-establishment,
of individualism,
of...
This is his arse.
Fuck the man.
His arse.
Now, his arse was so white.
I've never heard a man describe
another man's arse
with any of those words before.
It was...
His arse was an emblem
for what it means to be human.
So his arse was there
and I swear to God,
his arse was so pale.
There was like this shine off his arse. It was like, you know his arse was so pale there was like this shine off
it was like you know in uh pulp fiction when they lift up the suitcase and it's like
like that it was like we were all like whoa what the fuck and to give fucking uh silly holsters
jew billy fucking ah fuck you said that before did i oh dear shit but so silly holster he didn't
fucking he didn't look away he looked down at it
like it was the eye of Sauron
and he was
you know
stared into the arse of Cowman
which couldn't have been pleasant
but I suppose he was
a semi-tennis pro
that's the fourth Lord of the Rings
by the way
the arse of Cowman
so
anyway
there goes the hobbit
the free of scene
and this is coming out next year
Lord of the Ring the arse of Cowman yeah that's gonna ring innit yeah so Holster fucking So anyway. It goes the hobbit, the free of sin, and this is coming out next year.
Lord of the ring.
That's the arse of Cowman.
Yeah, that's the ring, isn't it?
So Holster fucking,
Holster stared down the fucking,
the arse of Cowman.
Cowman pulled back up his britches and then Holster kind of sadly walked away.
But at this stage,
Cowman's parents have been called.
And also the window of time
in which the riot can even exist
is closing because once the last bell rings
then our cause is lost you know so anyway uh the the bell ends up ringing everyone just kind of
like disperses cowman gets fucking brought in by his parents arrive cowman gets basically like
christ you know he kind of died for our sins. Cowman takes the brunt of all the punishment. Now he does it with dignity and, you know,
and a kind of an acceptance that really kind of made the rest of us be like,
wow, that's a fucking leader.
I remember I got into the car because we had to just leave then.
My mother was collecting me, you know, and I got into the car and I remember.
Sorry, lads.
I can't do any more revolutions
to name my teasers.
My mum's done a spag bol.
I'll come back and overthrow the school government tomorrow,
but I've got garlic bread and everything, mate, I can't.
Yeah.
So I got in the car with my mother and she was like...
And Shirai was just covered in clay.
I had no tie.
She's like, where's your tie?
And why do you look like you've seen
Matty Cowman's asshole?
Your mum would recognise that look on your face?
She knew that look.
Most women in Kilkenny had seen
Cowman's hole by that stage.
He wasn't shy to give people a peek.
He'd do it there beside the Christmas tree
in the centre of town.
Can't wait to put my Christmas tree up up you know i'm not even messing this place at christmas just gets so much better
two weeks baby so much christmas energy coming up my ass come on matty carlman oh you're matty
carlman for the rest of my life but so the next the next fucking week then anyway they they came
in and like every teacher came into class and it was the end of an era.
Mad Lad ended up leaving at the end of that year.
They brought in this new fucking disciplinarian
called Curtis who just like had us all by the balls.
Like his whole fucking mission
was to clean this school up.
Like this place has gone fucking insane.
So like every-
To be fair to him.
Yeah.
Not that I'm on the side of the teachers in any way.
Yeah.
But it had like- No. He read it well. No. When lads are I'm on the side of the teachers in any way. Yeah. But it had, like,
that's, no.
He read it well.
No.
When lads are shitting
on the pitch,
openly,
play ball.
Things have gone
a little astray.
If there's shit
on the pitch,
she's game.
Like the seven murderers
in our year in school.
Huh?
Our year in school.
School year has seven
murderers.
Convicted murderers
for mine and Carl's
year group.
Not like the whole school,
not like in history.
Now,
Cameron's never been caught,
but you'd have to assume
he's taken a life
or two at this stage.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
So these seven murderers,
like what are we,
what are we talking like?
Like a murder.
Like they've killed people.
They,
their actions result
in the loss of a life.
Right.
No,
I don't mean like that,
but like you've any like juicy fucking, you said seven murders. Right, no, I don't mean like that, but like,
you've only like juicy fucking,
you said seven murders,
you need to...
I'm not talking about
any of the cases.
Right.
But you can throw on names
like I did.
You saw the clever wordplay
I did there
to keep my hands clean.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've got to be honest though,
do you know the way
every time you said one,
we could immediately
guess what it was?
I'd be quite concerned
doing that with seven
convicted murderers,
some of whom will be out soon
right
no no
to be fair
you've
you've got
you've got me by the balls there
just go on the Echo website
there's probably like
a fucking link
to all of them
yeah
yeah
I've been asked to go back
to our school
I've seen a lad
we went to
I won't name him
in case he doesn't want
his business out there
but a sporty lad
okay I think I know what you mean you'll know who I mean at the back yeah yeah I won't name him in case he doesn't want his business out there, but a sporty lad.
Okay, I think I know what you mean.
You'll know what I mean.
At the back?
Yeah.
He's now working back at Cardlean.
Yeah, that's a surprise.
I seen him at the Liverpool game the other day.
He's like Miss Smith.
They were going through like former students.
I don't know anyone who knows Adam and Jack.
He was like, I know Adam.
It's Jack Backhousehouse he's a good lad
he's like
like he's dead busy
I know he's on tour
at the minute
but I just said
I'll go back in
he's like yeah
just come and speak
to the kids and stuff
but I've been asked
to do this before
and I was like
I don't think you want me to
because what I'm going to do
is go
I tried at school
and then used none of it
so just don't try
yeah
you haven't used any academia
so that's surely
a really bad role model
to go into a school
maybe
but also I think
they want to show
some of the kids
like that there's
an alternative
like if you're not
doing well
maybe they want me
to speak to the ones
who obviously aren't
going to
they want you to be
like whispering
the ear of a cowman
or you know what I mean
and you can put this
channel this energy
into creativity
into creativity
but you were
the smart lad in school
I know yeah
so you're not even that either are you no you're not even like i was stupid
they want me to talk to i think yeah i don't think they want me to go up to all the people
who are going to get straight a's and go listen just so you know doesn't really matter could be
a comedian instead do what i did nail everything with no revision and then leave yeah yeah it's
like when it's it's like when uh uh like someone like messy now i'm not
necessarily comparing you to messy but like but you know what i mean but like as in like what's
he gonna come in and tell for like it's like yeah you go go be a do what you do lads go be a famous
successful person it's like how do you do what i mean it's uh what can you what can you tell them
i mean to be fair the fact that i mean it's just going back what 15 years
we were in school now
nearly half of our life
fuck
yeah
well
Jase I remember
when I was
when I was back home there
now
I
my mother just told me
we had a fella that died
called
Henry Monk
you wouldn't have heard of him now
but he was
Daniel Conk
huh
no Henry Monk's
Henry Monk's is this
actual name but he used to it reminded
me a story because he used to work on our he used to work on our farm right i was like just a fella
who helped out but he's real hunched over kind of like he was like a kind of a cockroachy kind
of fella he had this like kind of handlebar mustache and you know like a lad that it just
there's not enough water in the world to wash him. You know, he's just fucking, but he used to talk in this way
where he'd just be like,
so wellingtons, wellies are what we wear out in the yard
so that your feet don't get covered.
And he'd say, where are my welligans?
I need my welligans.
He'd always talk like that.
Where are my welligans?
And he'd never smile.
He was always just hunched over like this.
He's a fucking odd fucker, right?
But he used to do at dinner,
like we'd have dinner
and he'd just be eating like pereos and meat,
like whatever, you know? And he used to take, it'd be a pound of butter. He'd just be eating like potatoes and meat, like whatever, you know.
And he used to take, like it'd be a pound of butter.
He'd literally take half the pound of butter and just throw it on the scene.
And we'd all be like, lads, you can't be taking all the fucking, and then he'd be like, what's wrong with you?
He'd just have him to bit the butter, right?
Now, one day, right, this is true, right?
We left a cow, a dead cow got left out in our yard.
Now, basically what happens when a dead cow gets left out
is a fucking, a knacker comes, right?
No, a knacker is the actual technical term
for a fella that collects dead animals
and puts them in a fucking yard
and then shags them or whatever he does.
But that's what he does.
He takes dead animals away.
That's his job.
So that's a technical term.
So the knacker doesn't come
and collect the fucking dead cow, right?
He's, I don't know, he goes to Bruce Springste the fucking dead cow right he's I don't know
he goes to Bruce Springsteen
concert
he does something
I don't know
he's knackered
he's knackered
yeah yeah yeah
he's doing
I don't know what he's doing
so he started
he's doing Pilates
or Bruce Springsteen
or the first
he thinks
Bruce Springsteen's playing
in my hometown
in Kilkenny in May
so it's in my mind
you know
are you going to go and see him
yeah
born in the USA.
Oh, fucking sick.
That's true, isn't it?
He's the best.
So anyway, the dead cow was left out in the yard.
So one day, anyway, I come out,
down to the yard.
I'm just walking out to the farmyard
to do a few jobs or whatever.
And Henry Monk is standing over the cow right and he has the cows
i swear on my life eyeball in his mouth and he's biting on it like this and he didn't he didn't
know anyone else was there so i just stood and stopped and then just looked up at me
when he when he saw me coming he died balling his night and he just said
could you go and get me a bit of butter
and he asked me to go
and I literally just
fucking
like was like yeah yeah
and just ran back in the house
and I told him
my dad was inside
I told him
and my father was just like
he said
he said
just stop
he said just don't
don't ever repeat that again
he's a great worker
he was eating dead cattle
can we eat a bit of butter
huh can you say the butter line again huh can Can we eat a bit of butter? Huh?
Can you say the butter line again?
Huh?
Can you get me a bit of butter?
Can you get me a bit of butter?
He had an eyeball in his mouth.
Huh?
He looked harmless.
Tom Aspinall.
Did you do well at school?
Huh?
Yeah, I did all right, yeah.
Did you?
Yeah.
Because I was suspended.
Why do you say it like that
i'm not that i'm dumb in like all life ways but i'm not actually like i'm actually like
uh you know not street smart yeah exactly yeah um but uh i no i did i did all right
and so i terribly behaved like i i got i got fucking uh suspended five times i nearly got
expelled that time that we pranked licky ration um because
so basically we went on a fucking we went on a ski holiday uh to but the thing was it was outside
of the school right so as i imagine so yeah so this guy so our teacher a teacher called grim
grim yahoo uh so grim yah Who used to run this, uh,
ski holiday every year.
This is true.
Now you throw in the ski holiday every year,
but in,
in the, it,
but in the post riot clear out Grim,
yeah.
Who got shown the door?
He was like,
he was seen as a relic of the past that was leading to this wildness.
Cause Grim,
yeah.
Who was a French teacher who'd literally come in.
He ran a pub as well,
so he'd just be hung over the fuck.
And he just...
He taught French or he was from France?
No, Grim Yehu was not from France, lad.
Grim Yehu was from the furthest place away from France.
He was from, like, fucking...
Australia?
The back of Australia.
Just sound Australian.
Grim Yehu.
Grim Yehu.
Fine, Grim Yehu.
Fucking Yehu, mate. So, but anyway, Grim Yehaw Grim Yehaw fine Grim Yehaw fine Grim Yehaw
mate
so
but anyway
Grim Yehaw
he literally
he's a PE teacher
but he's a French teacher
where he'd literally come in
and he'd just go
he'd just go look
he'd say
if ye fucking
if ye say nothing
you'll have to do nothing
and then he'd just
like that
and he'd just go to sleep
on the desk
and he'd also
he'd teach us PE
and he'd just throw us
he'd just throw us the football
he's like make your teams have a game and he'd just go sit in his car desk. And he'd also, he'd teach us pee, and he'd just throw us the football. He's like, make your teams have a game.
And he'd just go sit in his car and smoke fags
and think about his divorce.
That was like the best teaching ever.
Oh, he was sick.
We loved Grim Yehu.
So anyway, Grim Yehu gets kind of pushed.
Is it Tim Magoon?
Huh?
No, no, no, no.
Jim?
No.
Yeah.
But yeah, we'll leave it there.
Come on now.
Jim Ballew.
Huh?
The man is dead. The man is dead. You can't libel Come on now. Jim Ballew. Huh? The man is dead.
The man is dead.
You can't libel the dead.
Coleman killed him.
You can't libel the dead.
Just name him.
He was a good man.
Can you not libel the dead?
You can't slander the dead.
Is that right?
Really?
Yeah.
Is that why everyone's been so hard on Jimmy Savile?
Yeah, that's why.
Ah, for fuck's sake. They didn't have the
guts to say it when he was alive. Who saved you to court?
Oh, you can't defame the dead.
Same thing. Yeah.
So I can't, like, come
on here and say, I don't know,
Michael Parkinson used to finger dogs.
He can, yeah.
But can his estate be like, hey, no, we never.
No, he did. He did.
Park, he did finger dogs.
Yeah. He did. Park, he did finger dogs.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Michael Barkinson.
That's when.
Jesus Christ.
That's as rotten a thing as I've heard in a while.
Michael Barkinson.
So anyway,
so Grim Yahoo anyway.
So what he would do is he,
he organized this skiing trip
outside of like outside of the school so he would wait outside the school like outside the school
gates he wasn't allowed inside the school gates and we would come out and give him cash money for
this trip i don't know how we convinced our parents to let us do it so then anyway we end up going on
this trip and it's us we're the fourth. So we're about like 15 going on 16.
And the fifth years who are like 16 going on 17.
And we're all going over there.
Now, there's no real teacher.
So like, because he doesn't work for the school anymore.
Also, he's nearly dead.
Is it just him?
Huh?
Just him?
No, and he had his two, he had his son and his friend who know each other from AA.
But they fell off the wagon during the trip.
So this is, I swear to god
where is this where's the scheme so Andorra we go to Andorra there was some special country this
is my first time ever on a plane right and I I couldn't believe it was unreal but so we go over
anyway now what happens I don't know if you had this in your school but the fifth year is the
year ahead of us now there was a fucking there was a nastiness and a cruelty to these men that had no mother or father you just don't know where they
got it but they just their whole thing was to fucking torture the four cheers who had lads
underneath so we're all staying in these fucking like four different cabins but one day we went to
the town of andora and i don't know why but there's a fucking weapon shop there there's a weapon shop
where you can go in you can get pepper spray you can get fucking batons pellet guns all this shit so we all go in there and we come out there like the
fucking idf you know what i mean like we're fucking armed to the teeth coming out of there
like you swear that we were going to fucking you know what i mean head into underground invasion
of gaza so we leave the fucking shop i'm, we can cut that. Listen.
But I'm just doing a comparison that's relevant to now.
So we come out there.
Everyone's fucking
armed to the fucking gills.
Now, I end up,
I started in one cabin.
I had to leave
because I woke up
and one of the fifth years
had their, like,
cock in my face
and they were like,
take that, you little
fucking gay cunt.
I was like,
this is, you know,
that's pot calling the kettle black here. I did, Kevin., you little fucking gay cunt. I was like, this is, you know, that's,
fuck all the kettle black here.
I did, Kevin.
Do you know what I mean?
So he was like that.
But I ended up having to move anyway.
But one night there was just like a full on fucking siege. Like they fucking, they battened,
they closed our entrance door so we couldn't come out.
They pepper sprayed the place.
Then they climbed up around into our back patio, came in with fucking pellet guns.
They were fucking, they had tasers as well.
They were tasing lads.
Tasing?
Yeah.
There was lads shitting themselves.
Like there was lads, lads like just from the trauma.
Like it was like fucking being in like the Battle of the Somme, like in the trenches.
Lads were shitting themselves.
There was shell shock.
Lads falling off fucking ladders.
It was just, it was just fucking insane.
Right. In a ski resort in Andorra? Yeah. In a ski resort in Andorra. And you're shook fucking. lads falling off fucking ladders it was just it was just fucking insane right
in a ski resort
in Andorra
yeah
in a ski resort
in Andorra
and Shershok
fucking
Grim
in a ski resort
Grim Yahoo
and his son
his sons were busy
falling off the wagon
probably trying to
source fucking
coke
Grim Yahoo was
drinking whiskey
like a little sucky calf
they were off away
they left us off
to our own devices
what do you do with your cows? What do you do with your cows
in Ireland?
Well, sure,
we let them have a bit of fun
before we're going
to make burgers out of them.
But,
so,
look,
we give them a good life
is what we do,
if you must know.
So anyway,
so this whole fucking thing
happens,
there's a shit,
but I was turning 16
at the time
and that was a,
people, I don't know what, if you had this, but it was like a crime to have your birthday So this whole fucking thing happens. There's a shit. But I was turning 16 at the time. And that was a people.
I don't know what if you had this, but it was like a crime to have your birthday when
we were young.
Like as in like, it's your, oh, it's his birthday.
Let's do something awful to him.
Oh, you beat him up?
Yeah.
So that's right.
You got a beat for every year, older and an extra one.
Yeah.
So if you were 16, you got 16 punches and then a 17 for good luck.
Yeah.
And that was off each person.
Yeah.
A hundred percent. Now what they decide to do to me is. Remember how bad your arms would be on your birthday? Yeah. Yeah. 16 you got 16 punches and then a 17 for good luck and that was off each person yeah 100%
now what they decide to
to me
remember how bad your arms
would be on your baby
yeah
so
they
they held me down
and they shaved my eyebrows
off first
now
my mistake
when they shaved my eyebrows
off is that I didn't
kick up enough of a stink
I should have maybe
started crying
or I should have acted
like it was really bad
but I decided to try
play it cool
and I was just like ah who cares like fuck it and then they're like we haven't upset him enough at all
so do you know what i mean like you need i needed to have been like oh that's really
bad it's terrible you know and um so next thing then they fucking they they got me again a little
while later and i think they like they pepper sprayed my eyes and they pulled me down the
ground and then they I know yeah
and I was like
our school was sound you know
yeah
fine
like seven maithres
I'll take that
yeah
that was all after the fact though
we don't need to get left by them
so they held me down
and they tried to
it does feel mad
we were in five years
of very close proximity
to that level of evil though
yeah
it is wild
well
these lads
like you've never thought of it
that way have you
no
I played footy
with loads of them
but there was just
a nasty
in general in our school
like it was just
like good banter
or crack was just
doing like shitting
in someone's school bag
like you know
it was just like
that was what was
that's the way things went
is that why you shit
in Hattie Preston's
bathroom on the car
is she like hey
school yard banter
poo
good banter yeah
that's why you had on her towels
so
but so they
held me down
then again
and this and
they like
pepper spray
and then they
held me down
and they tried
to shave
a razor
like gay
into my head
they tried to
shave gay
into my head
but I was like
at this stage
I was biting
and spitting
and everything
and then my
friends who were
there
like they were
just kind of
like they they kind of watched watched on because they couldn't if they knew if they got in they were
gonna have gay shaved onto their head but i remember my friend uh like jack did try he got
like a baton and tried to fucking like fight him and and like they just fucked and like fucked him
up they were just they were crew of miserable men but then and this is the worst thing to like try then still for me
to try curry favor back with these uh fellas they we found out that they had the number to vice
mincible licky ration right so they're like we're gonna fucking prank licky ration and then i tried
to like to be mates with the older lads like even though like they've you know defiled my head um
i was like oh sure look i was like give me the fucking number
I'll ring Licky Ration
right
and we'll fucking prank him
so we call up
Licky Ration's number
but it goes to voicemail
so it goes beep
and we all just shout in
you suck cock
you fucking shag horses
you stupid cunt
your fucking
mother is a
fucking
bush
you're a dumb cunt
you did 9-11
whatever like
we were just like
everything just screaming
down the phone and for i'd say like three minutes and then we just thought haha nice one like hung
it up right now i didn't know very easy to trace voice calls right yeah yeah yeah very easy trace
voice calls also it came up where's the call come from andora the place where all these cunts are on a ski
holiday like it couldn't have been any more fucking obvious so a couple of weeks later after
i'd gotten back no eyebrows half of gay shaved into my head i'm up uh i'm up doing a work experience
with mechanics up the road for me right so i'm working mechanics now they fucking hate me because
i'm fucking useless.
So they just literally just kind of get me to stand around the side of the shed
for the seven hours I have to be there.
So I was just there anyway.
I was like playing snake on my phone or something.
And I get a call on my phone.
And I answer the call and a fella says, he says,
he says, I'm after finding a phone here.
And your number is the first number that came up on the phone.
I'm wondering, do you know who owns this phone
and I goes oh no no I don't
and came up there now and then he goes oh what's your name anyway
and I goes Michael Rice
and he goes and where do you live and I was like Greenridge
Kilkenny, that's where I live and then
he just goes thank you, hung up
five minutes later I got a call from my mother, she's like
yeah the guards just rang the police
you have to come in there Monday
you have to come in there monday uh you
have to come in for a meeting no you can't get arrested for prank call or me and him would be
serving 25 to life i'll be in fucking heavy but what they did was so they brought me in to the
guard station two the main members of the drug squad in the in kilkenny guard station sat me
down just me and them they played me the voice message and they were like and they're like this is serious harassment this is abuse this is like they named all these
fucking things i think it can only technically class as abuse if he actually does shag horses
but i think i think they did i mean yeah i think they had evidence that he did i think they had
a horse that was willing to testify uh that licky ration had been bumming him but so anyway
they're like
they're like this
they're like
you this is abuse
this is harassment
da da da
this is your number
I wonder how they'd
make a horse
answer in the affirmative
because if he just says nay
then it sounds like he's saying nay
say nay if he bummed you
nay
yeah just
whatever
two nays for yes
nay nay
but so they're interrogating me
and they
and I just start bawling crying like I'm like
I didn't mean to do
this is not
I didn't mean to do it
but like I'm still sitting there
I didn't mean this
I'm making a mistake here
I didn't mean this i didn't mean no i'm making a mistake here i didn't mean that but to be fair but to be fair to me i'm sitting there with no eyebrows
half of gay shaved into my head like i'm not al capone like you know what i mean like i am the
bottom bitch of this operation so like but they got me to try name name like they're like look
if you like it was so stupid as a prank call they're like if you name names we can get this sentence reduced
you know what i mean like we can we can maybe yeah we can give you maybe get you into witness
protection programming like you know but i wouldn't i didn't fucking i didn't rat i was like
i was like no i can't like i can't be a fucking i can't be a snitch like i can't tell on him
so i just said i i just i just kept pleading i was like i was, I can't. Like, I can't be a fucking, I can't be a snitch. Like, I can't tell on him. So I just said, I just kept pleading.
I was like, I was drunk.
I can't remember, da, da, da, da, da.
So then I got brought in.
So I was in school.
Next day I went into school, got brought into principal's office.
And he's like, literally, he's like, if no one else comes forward with this,
you're getting expelled.
You're getting kicked out of school.
That's it.
So I'd already been suspended a rake of times for like, you know.
Such a rat tactic, that.
Do you remember in our school,
like if someone had like threw a plane at the teacher,
like a ball, they'd be like, right,
either someone tells me you did it or the whole class has to stay.
And then the whole class is like, oh my God, just tell.
We all know it was, just tell her you did it.
We can't glass on you.
Just tell her.
And then they're just there going.
It's very clever though, isn't it?
You punish the group for one and then that person is like a dickhead.
It's very clever. Yeah. It never worked though. We'd all one and then that person is like a dickhead and then it's very clever.
Yeah.
It never worked though.
We'd all just sit there
for 10 minutes and be like,
we've got another lesson.
You can't hold us.
All we're doing now
is not learning.
So carry on.
Cool.
We'll all just stay here
and not do maths
because you've got another class
waiting outside to come in here.
Go on.
So basically then
I had to like plead
with a few of the lads
to come forward.
Like I was like,
look, I'm going to get expelled and to be
fair two of them and loads there was probably about ten lads
there that were shouting on the phone two of the lads
came forward to like get
me off the hook which was fucking sound
Gillian
Brett were the two lads they came forward to give him their fucking
due good lads so they came forward and got
me off the hook but like he rationed from then on
he couldn't believe I didn't get expelled like
he wanted me fucking out yeah so he would just like snape lad rise you know rise
the potions master licky ration uh i don't think i've seen that
but so licky ration anyway uh but so he would then for the rest of my time in school he would
try to like concoct cases to try to get me like try to frame me for things huh did he want to
fuck your mom um i think if you had any sense he did she was a beautiful woman yeah betsy rice is
very very handsome woman yeah is she yeah she's still with us yeah she is still with us she's
single no well she's not but like she's with us? Yeah, she is still with us. Is she single? No, well, she's not,
but like she's with a man
who eats raw sausages every morning.
So she's waiting for anyone
to give her a ticket out of here.
No, no, no, no.
Eats raw sausages.
No, my father,
and that's why my father
had a sympathy for Henry Monk
eating the eyes of the cow
because my father eats raw sausages.
Oh, you're talking about
your actual dad?
My dad, yeah, yeah.
Your mum and dad are still together?
Yeah, yeah.
He eats raw sausages?
They would be, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your mum and dad are still together? Yeah, yeah. He eats raw sausages? They would be, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He eats raw sausages.
Now, only when he can, like,
if my mother isn't there to cook him sausages,
and he just, she's just,
he looks at the sausage for a while,
and he just goes,
oh, fuck it, I'm just,
you know what I mean?
Just gobbles him.
But then, like, one day I came in,
he had raw sausages in a sandwich,
and I was like, dad, don't eat raw sausages.
And he just went running off around the house,
eating his raw sausages, you know? running off around the house eating his raw sausages
you know
you know when
the more
you tell me about your life
the more you make sense
is it your life
in a circus
yeah well sure
look it was
it was a
it was a fun
it was a fun upbringing
but it was also
because my father
is absolutely mental
you know so
he's eating raw sausages
but he'd be also
he's a baby
you know he just loves
ice cream and cans of coke
but he also then has tantrums
he just goes into the press
and just like
throws the plates
on the ground and shit
you know what I mean
like
we need the plate
yeah
big baba
we do
that was 55 minutes
that's normally like
two sections
yeah
that's it part three coming up.
Yeah, more to come.

Finn.
Yes, we've got a question.
This is from Nick.
Hi, Lyd.
So I've been reading about an odd thing in Liverpool
on Bald Street called time slips,
where people experience going back in time.
I was wondering what your thoughts on it is.
Is it all bullshit,
or is there something paranormal going on?
If you could choose to have a time slip, when and where would you want it to be that last bit is such a stupid addendum
um i used to work there james foley uh internet a you'd be good yeah superstar uh he was talking
about this when we were walking when we were doing the liverpool special that he eventually was not in uh for uh legal reasons for scouse apartheid um yeah so yeah apparently on bold
street near where the old bookshop was which i think is now cafe nero uh some people as they're
walking past that will be transported into the 1960s um at least for a while and then they come
out to the side of it um it hasn't happened to me and I frequent Bold Street
quite a lot.
I walked down Bold Street
this morning,
no, not this morning,
but the other morning.
It's bollocks, isn't it?
Time travel.
Time travel is possible
because we're time travelling
constantly.
We're all travelling
through time.
Yeah.
Like the mirror
is a time machine
because you're seeing
what's happening
like the fraction of a second
after it light coming to your eyes mike here's a question yeah do you travel through time or
does travel does time travel past you so like if you've got so if you know like when you were
coming in here and you're like i'm going on have a word i'm going to help coast are you moving
towards being here or is this or was this event coming to you? I have no idea what you're talking about.
It's your perception of time.
Right.
On Sunday coming up, say you're going out,
are you moving towards that event,
or is that event moving towards you?
I'm moving towards that event.
Right, okay.
Yeah, I'm moving through time.
Did they ask what our ideal time period would be to go back to?
No, but I would like you to answer
that question yeah i would like to go back to the the irish war of independence and i would like to
hope that i would like to i'd like to die but after like but like in heroically heroically
i'd like to die heroically in dwarf independence i Independence. I'd like to, if I could take one person
back with me,
I would take Cowman.
And if me and Cowman
could die for our country,
I would like,
because do you know
about the Black and Tans?
Yeah.
You know about them?
Yeah.
Right.
They live in Ireland.
So I'd like to,
I'd like to kill,
they were the nastiest,
cruelest men.
They were men that were
kind of shell-shocked
from World War I
that were sent over to Ireland during the
Irish War of Independence, and they were
setting people on fire and feeding
women to dogs and doing all
sorts of shit. Now, that might be propaganda
to just get Irish people riled up,
but we fucking hate Black and Tans.
Do you know that song? Come out, ye Black and Tans,
come out and fight me like a man.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
I'd like to go back in time and write
that was our Eurovision
Eurovision
entry
oh fuck
that's so funny
so
Jonah we used to win the Eurovision
so much do you remember that Father Ted
episode that it's based on we used to win the Eurovision so much do you remember that Father Ted episode that it's based on
we used to win
the Eurovision so much
that
that cowman
is really close
and that cowman
is far away
nice ref
god there is a bit
of the doogles to me
but
yeah 100%
yeah
but
Watts' face
but so in that episode
they're kind of making fun
of the fact
Ireland kept winning
the Eurovision
because we're just
we're songbirds
you know
we love them
we're good at
Canadians and musicians
basically just a very
plighted people
who
yes
like
art comes from that
doesn't it
that's right
there's no one who was born
into middle class
or like
into upper class
who creates good stuff
Sweden very rarely there's no funny people from Sweden into middle class or like into upper class who creates good stuff. Sweden.
There's no funny people from Sweden.
No.
No, they're miserable, good looking,
punctual cunts, quite frankly.
But the problem is in Ireland now,
this next generation,
because the Celtic Tiger,
the economic boom that happened in the 90s,
there's a lot,
there's kind of Ireland has quite a bit of money now.
Dublin's ridiculous. Yeah. The expensiveness. It's the most expensive has quite a bit of money now Dublin's ridiculous
yeah
the expensiveness
most expensive city
to live in in Europe
it's horrid
and it's rotten
the transport is shit
the weather is shit
there's not
it's great though
huh
it's fucking great
it's great on a night out
it's great
it's great to visit
day drinking in Dublin
yes
yes nice
it's nice
no I was a
I was a boozy boozy last weekend in dublin i had a grand
old time but that was the first time me and you ever hung out there yeah we didn't really know
each other back then we've met i think once maybe twice yes just like briefly that's right and then
i was doing the laughter lounge and i just text the uh the booker from the international bar which
is a small comedy night with no microphone you just go on and just do your thing and you were on i just went down and dropped in after i'd done
me proper gig and i went out with him and i'd never so all i drink and i was guinness yeah all
i drink like i don't really like beer i don't want it like i'll have it if i've i'm drinking
for the sake of it but i don't enjoy it really yeah i'd never liked it up until I went out with you
and I'll never forget this.
Like you're on the bill.
You're like, oh, we'll go out for a pint.
And we walk into this boozer and you just went to Guinness
and I went, Mike, I don't drink Guinness.
And you went, yeah, you do.
Yeah.
That was it.
Yeah.
I do.
Because he doesn't know the creaminess of the pints in Dublin.
It's just, yes.
You were right as well.
Because every St Paddy's Day over here,
I used to try and have a Guinness
and I'd get about a third of the way
and I'd be like, ah, it's not for me.
And then it was that pint, I was like, fuck me.
And that drink made me like Guinness back here.
Yeah.
It's mad like a gateway.
Well, so the Guinness thing,
there is something in Irish people,
25, about 25 years of age,
before that, when you're young
and you taste Guinness for the first time
you're like, jeez that tastes like my fucking
grand aunt's snatch, you're like, that's disgraceful
It's good that you know
what that tastes like
Well I certainly know what it smells like
So you're like, that's
How does that work?
Well she
would wear very airy
skirts, but we'd all be at dinner and we'd be like, Jesus Christ and Monk would be there eating the butter well she she would wear very airy skirts but
we'd all be at dinner
and we'd be like
Jesus Christ
and Monk would be there
eating the butter
but
so anyway
but when you're like
when I was younger
you taste Guinness
for the first time
you're like
Jesus Christ
that's some bitter
fucking shite
horrible
how are people drinking that
something happens
particularly Irish people
once you turn 25
suddenly
it tastes like fucking the jizz of the once you turn 25, suddenly it tastes like fucking
the jizz of the angels.
You just can't believe it.
It's the best thing ever.
It is the best thing ever.
And then when I turn...
And all of these,
like these fucking little...
Not you, but him.
You.
You.
Listen, it's a nice drink.
It's not a personality treat.
No, it isn't.
That's all I'm saying.
No, no, but you're projecting that.
No, I'm not.
I don't think it's a personality trait.
I'm saying people do think it is.
I think what's happened is there's been
trendy young women now are drinking
big fat pints again as thinking it's
subversive or something or that they're
like, you know, they're like,
they're like this and it's like, I'm a man.
It's like, shut the fuck up.
Your woman drinks it, does she? Yeah.
Exactly. And let's be honest, you don't like it, so shut up. I know you don one drinks it does she yeah exactly and let's be honest
you don't like it
so shut up
I know you don't like it
it's not for you
it was made
so you wouldn't like it
and wouldn't drink it
and would leave us alone
but anyway
she's only 24
she's not there yet
she's only 24
she's not there yet
she's only 24
so you're just
now and to be fair
I see a lot of women
because it's like
they think it'll be
the way to a man's heart
is if they drink in
it's going mmm that's your man be the way to a man's heart, as if they drink in this going,
hmm, that's your man.
And then all the men will be like,
I found my wife.
You know what I mean?
You think we're stupid.
You see that trick coming a mile away.
And I hit her little schlup.
I hit her actually.
You can way out of that, Jeff.
It works.
Anyway. You get way out of that, Geoff, it works. Anyway,
but then,
and then at 30,
whisky starts becoming
a lovely little drop out.
Oh, I've been,
I've been into whisky
longer than I've been
into Guinness.
Yeah.
Whisky,
like,
I can't drink whisky
on a night out
because I drink whisky
as fast as I would
drink Guinness.
Yeah.
It's so easy.
It's so nice,
especially if you make
an old fashioned beer.
It is so nice, but it's just gone. Yeah. It's if you make an old-fashioned beer it is so nice
but it's just gone yeah it's just gone but your grim yahoo found out the hard way like that's
what took him down was just was just being a little fucking gremlin for whiskey but sure that's
what happens I swear to god if you're not careful with with whiskey like that'll fucking be the
ruination of your life oh totally like I love it. Like, I love it so much. I got into a phase
where I convinced myself.
Do you know what I did?
I heard Joe Rogan say
that he does a shot of fucking,
like tequila or something
before he goes on stage.
And then I was like,
sure, geez, what's good for the goose
is good for the gander.
I'll drink a whiskey every time
before I go on stage.
So there for a year,
I was just drinking a whiskey
every single time before I went on.
And I was convinced this was great for me. But then then when you get off stage it's not like you don't
want more whiskey do you know what i mean you come off stage absolutely right straight to the bar
more whiskey in my fucking mouth and more joy in my mind do you know what i mean i fucking love it
lad it's fucking great like if we had whiskey now, I'd be the happiest little pig on earth.
We've got loads of whiskey.
Oh.
We've got Macallan, haven't we?
Maybe we'll have just a little whiskey
during the...
when Tiernan's here.
Maybe.
When Dan's here.
That'd be nice, wouldn't it?
It wouldn't be bad.
Warm our bellies.
I've got to do a podcast tonight, but...
Do you do a podcast now?
Yeah, yeah, but I mean,
like, this is my one.
I can be twice as on this and it's funny.
Do you know Blind Boy
from Rubber Bandits?
You're going on
with fucking Blind Boy?
He's doing his show tonight
to fill him on a call.
I'm going to be his guest, yeah.
Oh, nice one.
Jeez, there'll be a lot
about mental health.
How do you deal
with your anxiety?
Whiskey.
Whiskey.
No, lad, he's going to
open you up.
He's going to crack you open like a coconut. I'm excited. Yeah. It's going to open you up he's going to crack you open
like a coconut
I'm excited
it's going to be good
do you listen to much Blind Boy
I don't listen to any podcasts really
I'm going to listen to an episode
of his today
just so I'm fully in the thing of it
he finds everything fascinating
absolutely fascinating
squirrels invented
trigonometry
did you know that
like he just comes out with these facts
and you're like blind but you've made that up on a mushroom trip you know and he just couches can
talk in south africa they can't have seen it you know he'll just he just comes out with his absolute
baloo but shit and everyone's like jesus he knows a lot but he just he just makes it up i think
i think he just makes all this shit up. What was the question?
Bold Street.
Bold Street.
Oh, Bold Street.
Yeah, I don't believe in time switch. A load of bollocks, yeah.
Because if you're time travelling,
like, if I can time travel,
come back to right now.
Say bollocks.
Yeah.
But maybe there's a rule
that you can't go back on your own timeline.
We'll be able to go forwards before we can go back, won't we?
We'd always go forwards.
No, but I mean, we'll be able to go forwards faster.
What?
If they ever invent time travel, forwards will be easier than backwards.
You'd only ever be able to go forwards.
Yeah, of course.
Why of course?
So how did you say it?
He said of course.
I want to know if you understand it.
Why of course? It just did you say it? He said, of course. I want to know if you understand it. Why, of course.
It just seemed like the obvious answer.
No, you can only go forward because only after that point does the time machine exist.
So you can't go back to when there was no time machines
or when there was no time travel
because it wasn't invented then.
You'll always be able to go forward.
But once time travel is achieved, if it's ever achieved,
you'll always be able to go forward.
But then you'd be able to go forward
and back to the point you're in now at will.
You'd be able to go as forward as you want
and as back as you want forever.
And it will create this like sort of permanent state
of timelessness.
And it would actually be the worst thing
that could happen to like humanity in existence.
Would it take the time machine back with you?
Like in Back to the Future?
Yeah, that's a movie, Carl. That's not a documentary. Time machines aren't real either. So if we take the time machine back with you? Like in Back to the Future? Yeah, that's a movie,
Carlos, not a documentary.
Time machines aren't real either,
so it's just the same
They will be.
Will they though, lad?
Maybe not in our lifetime,
but they will be.
And from that point on,
you'll be able to go
as far into the future
as you want.
Because I feel like
when I did a load of drugs,
I did a load of mushrooms
in Amsterdam.
I went to the zoo, actually.
It was a great old time.
But I remember feeling that.
I've done that.
Have you, lad?
I've done that.
Lad, so sick.
So sick.
We tried to go and it was shit.
Oh, lad, I tell you who's having a great time at the zoo.
If you don't know, maybe you saw this as well.
Because you're so sensitive when you're on the mushrooms.
You can feel all the energies and you're down.
The seals actually love it in the zoo, lad.
Like, they are fucking buzzing they are so happy in the zoo like we were down we went down to say
it's like blue green neon lights and you're just looking at the picture square picture of the
tanks and it was just us and a load of other fucking absolutely gonked out fucking trippers
just all at every window just looking at the seals and being like lads i've never seen such
happiness in my life so joyous they're doing their little flips and they're
twerking at you and they're buzzing and then i tell you who's not happy in the zoo at all
the people who work at the zoo they were not happy at all them and the elephants
you could feel the sadness but i do remember when i took drugs i was like i felt did you get ever
get that sense
on psychedelics
that's just like
time doesn't exist at all
yeah yeah yeah
I felt that
yeah yeah yeah
so the time isn't real at all
so I think this idea
that you can go to the future
or the past
is like
neither of them are a place
everything's now
yeah
everything's now forever
everything's now
now is the only time
there's ever gonna be
it's the only time
there ever was
that's now in the past
what you just said
huh
that's gone now
no but it's happening
it's gone
it's happened but it's over it's happening as well it's over it's done
i went on a boat trip uh one of the river cruises in amsterdam this was before i went to the zoo but
it was the same holiday and we had this american woman who was like i can talk to animals we can
all talk to animals but they can't talk to us she was like i can talk to animals. We can all talk to animals, but they can't talk to us. She was like,
I can talk to animals and they can understand.
We were like, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Wallace does rollover.
She meant like the fucking, she meant
the giraffe. She meant she can chat about
the fall of the Berlin Wall.
She was like, I can chat to you.
Alright, and then she started doing this
weird call. She was like,
like that. The giraffe fucking came over to weird call. She was like, like that.
The giraffe fucking came over to the boat.
Yeah.
Because all she does is whenever she makes that noise,
she gives us your food.
And then.
Whoa, whoa,
whoa,
whoa,
whoa,
whoa.
Random American giraffe came over to the boat.
Where was the giraffe?
Does this go through the zoo?
Pretty much.
Yeah.
He was just waiting.
True.
He kind of like he's on his holidays.
Like what's going on?
Yeah.
She didn't talk to him
She made a noise he likes
I was talking to it
No it isn't
Talking is just noises
No
Conversation is not just
Hey
See you looked at me
It's not a conversation
It's not talking to me
It's just shouting at me
Looking
But like I know how
Then I can talk to buses
I know how to get
Hey
There's a bus outside now
But there isn't There definitely's a bus outside now.
There definitely is a bus outside.
There probably is.
We don't know, but there probably is.
I can talk to... I can get cows to do things.
Like, obviously, I know I talked on the other time
that I made a cow come,
but I, on the other pod,
but I can get a cow to, like,
come over to me and do stuff.
Not that, but like,
do you know what I mean?
I can go like,
I can go,
here, suck, suck, suck.
What's that mean?
Here, suck, suck, suck, suck.
Come and suck me up.
Here, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck, suck.
I've never been sucked off by a cow.
Huh?
That's none of your fucking business, Adam.
What do you want to get me to try to admit
on this fucking podcast?
So what does the cow
do if you're saying
here suck suck suck
huh
and then the cow
will like come over
and do what
huh
and just come over
and well they like
to suck on things
that's not to mean
I'm putting my
I've said already
I don't put my
fucking cock in the
cow's mouth
that's not how I
operate
that's not how my
family operates
alright
we bought
you can stick your
hand in there
you can
you know what I mean
you can you're not talking to the You can, you know what I mean?
You're not talking to the cow.
Huh?
Well, I am.
Because I'm saying, here, suck, suck.
He's like, oh, Mike wants me to come over and suck something.
And then comes over. If the cow says that, then yeah, you're talking to it.
Yeah.
Well, no, the cow, obviously, no one's actually, like,
the cow doesn't, like, speak English.
But, like, do you know what I mean?
You don't, you're city people.
You don't have, you don't have these fucking.
Yeah, but cows don't talk to buses.
That's his version of cows.
Buses are just cows of the city.
It's a fact.
You can talk to parking meters.
Do you say that like the city people,
like big city car?
Mud people.
Yeah, well, we would,
do you know what it is?
It's a defensive thing because when we were like younger, well, we would... Do you know what it is?
It's a defensive thing because when we were younger,
we'd be called smelly cultures
or dirty, smelly farmers.
That's what we say, yeah.
Yeah, and to be fair,
they were hitting the nail on the head.
We were smelly farmers.
We'd be covered in shite.
You know what I mean?
So you just have to give it to them.
You've observed that.
We are dirty and smelly.
So then we'd kind of be like city scum, you know.
We'd have to have our own thing, you know.
We'd be like, you city scum.
You and your bloody saints, please.
Yeah.
Is there like a cuisine for the country?
Is there like stuff that you guys eat that other people don't?
Well, just the sheer and utter absurd level of, like, pideos is just,
I mean, it's not even like if I go home and we have,
we have dinner at half one in the day because my father's been up since six, right? So like he gets his big meal. So we have a big fucking meal and we're talking, you'll have mashed potatoes,
roast potatoes, and then normal boiled potatoes. They're all on you can't if you eat dinner at my house at
one like you're just you can't do anything for the rest of the day you're done yeah so you just
eat your dinner now it's fine if you're a farmer because you're out fucking running around fucking
chasing henry monk trying to knock eyeballs out of his mouth but if you're fucking me who's a waster
and not doing any work you eat that meal and then you go sit down somewhere you literally just fucking and this is why a problem like this is my i'm shitting all the time
you know this is what i was raised with mike can you rank your potato like your favorite versions
of potato yeah fried potato is this number one fried potato is number one and they're made with
chips no fried potato so you get like a boiled potato and then it's like left for a day so it's
kind of cold next day you chop it up you fry it and put onions with it fried with onions oh yeah
like in a pan yeah yeah yeah fucking lovely well so sauteed potatoes that's right sauteed potatoes
i make chili and garlic potatoes like that sometimes unbelievable i mean you put garlic
in there everyone's jizzing next mashed potato buttery mash
with little bits of garlic
put in, little bit of pepper
right little bit of milk put in
to mash it up
that's number two, number three
a great roast potato
I don't know if you like a good, but I'm talking
like a roast, there's a way to do a roast
a good roast potato for me
is the best you can
do with a potato right i agree i also agree yeah i mean if you get a really good one i made a roast
yesterday they were they were good like yeah they they'll be better when i do the big christmas
dinner for everyone yeah i could take a potato over urinal and eat it and i'd like it so they're
all you know hairs on everything i go ah that's how much i love dolphin what spuds
is that what dolphin was a potato with piss and hair on it that's why people have it at a wedding
just like a delicacy where'd you rank them are they in there i don't know what dolphin wise
dolphin is uh potatoes that have been near dolphins oh fuck so. So they've kind of, they've been beside
an aquatic creature.
Right.
Salty.
Yeah.
Oh, salty fucking spud.
I think that's nice.
Have you ever had
garlic cheese potatoes?
Now.
I'm so hungry.
Huh?
I'm so hungry.
Lad, let me tell you this.
My fucking auntie Miriam now,
and the woman's a fucking ninja
when it comes to
garlic cheese spuds.
Every family occasion she comes with, and it's like fucking crack cocaine
everyone people are stabbing each other with forks people are trying to bite the hair off each other's
legs to get this shite so she comes in with this stuff she makes a lot it's all like so it's like
lasagna on top like that look of just cheese underneath it's this creamy garlic sauce with
the spuds have been fried and it's like
well seasoned salt
and pepper
like it's just
fucking
do you know what
I get when I go to Ireland
and take away potato pie
oh
oh mate
yeah
so fucking good
lovely bit of stuff
potato pie
chips and loads of red sauce
yeah
in Cork
oh mate
and now think about
think about if your whole nation
had all of that
taken away
for for five years by the english they took it all they took joy away they took happiness away
they took sustenance away the lives of the children the mothers and there i say even the beasts
or let's die the beasts when i was little I thought the potato famine was that was all you ate
what
like you had not enough
well it was all we fucking ate
back then
that was the thing
that was all we ate
just potatoes
so when that crop died
we had
zero food
isn't that why
black pudding exists
because you used to want to
keep the cow alive
or the pig alive
by draining
but you drain its blood
and make it into
I don't know why
black pudding exists
but whoever came up with it
I'd like to suck off
it was for the potato famine
was that
was it from then
yeah because you wanted
to make the most of the animal
well I
all I do is tip of the cap
because
black pudding lad
do you know what someone
said to me recently
they were like
they were like
oh black
they were like black pudding
they were like
I think it was an American girl
and she was like
that's disgusting
it's like the blood of the pig
it's like
what the fuck do you think
other meat is?
You're eating a cow's
fucking arsehole there, love.
Do you know what I mean?
What do you think
the rest of fucking meat is?
Wearing a miller and carter.
You gobshite.
Stop pretending to drink a Guinness
and fuck off.
Do you know what I mean?
That's what beef carpaccio is.
It's actually beef carves
arsehole in French.
That's what carpaccio means.
White on the nose.
I think we might get used
to try some food in a bit
lovely
that'd be sick
we've prepared something
for Dan
but he's
you know
he's not showed up today
because of some allegations
that were showable
previously untrue
but we're
look we got him some food today
that we thought you know
will he like it
will he not
you can just try it instead
but like the whole idea
of Dan doing that
is that you give him nice stuff
and he's just
no
we give him stuff that we think is nice to him it's vile right but i obviously i'm just
gonna like it and there won't be an entertainment value in that or will there well look though well
that's we'll see that's up to the gods right i hope there's piss on it
and that's a nice house welcome back to this week's episode of the Half a Word Podcast.
I'm Adam Rowe, comedian.
This is Mike Rice, paedophile.

Straight in, just butting in.
Yeah, because when you said you liked them, you laughed afterwards.
So I was like, does he actually like them?
Or was that, you know what I mean?
I think just like me, Dan, you're an overthinker.
I think whenever someone gives you a compliment, you're like,
hmm, that was a piss-dick one.
He's having me off there.
I actually do just really like them.
Thanks, mate.
I'm thinking about sort of starting to put a few pieces
of this type of stuff into my wardrobe.

A good pant goes a long way.
A good pant does go a long way.
My mother buys my clothes.

Yeah.
It's just all of,
you've got weird footwear stuff here,
the white sock thing
and stuff like that.
Yeah, but do you know what?
I am slowly moving away
from the ideology
of like the over-the-top
stance.
Yeah, that's what's going on.
Like, it's,
because it's fucking stupid,
isn't it?
Yes.
Like, it is stupid.
Like, I started wearing
a lot of boots, mate.

enough in them
I've bought recently
I've got a green
pair of red wings
I've got black boots

you stupid cunt Will your women's shoes you dumbass
you smelly bastard
you're a fucking shit shoes there's still 550s today though what i mean i always try and match
up a bit so the green on these With the green I try and think
About me like
Ireland
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Ireland
Yeah yeah
You're of Irish descent
I am of Irish descent
Yeah
I think so anyway
Fucking Dan
You're
Tiernan sounds like
You're of Irish descent
Do you not think
I'm Irish descent
I do think you're Irish descent
But then
But why did you say it like that
Like it sounds like
Because
No do you know
Do you know why
Cause when we were So me and Dan know each other for a while, right?
But Dan, because I remember when you were telling me,
because your parents have like money, don't they?
No comment.
Well, they did at one point.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you know what?
Before the divorce.
I swear to God, when you told me that when I was younger,
this is how my mind.
Before I bought these trousers.
When you told me that when we were younger, like, I know mind... Before I bought these trousers. When you told me that when we were younger,
like, I know, I think you'd grown up
or there was horses somewhere or something.
And then in my head, in my head,
that just means England can't be Irish.
I know, exactly.
Because money.
I told you I was writing a routine
about my sister owning a horse.
That's right.
You've gone posh, cunt.
That's right.
I swear to God, in my head, I just lodged.
Oh, he's not Irish. Yeah swear to God, in my head I just lodged,
oh, he's not Irish.
Yeah.
Honestly,
because in my head,
a lot of money,
or especially horses,
you're English.
But you buy horses. Horse racing's like
the most Irish thing
in the world.
And horses come from Ireland
as well, right?
Owning horses is,
but like,
just being near horses
is Irish.
We like to be near them,
but we don't,
we wouldn't dare
to put an ownership on them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's wrong.
You do look Irish.
Do you know what I mean?
Some people have got an Irish head.
You've got the most Irish head I've ever seen in my life.
But don't say it like that.
You have a fucking Irish head in you too, lad.
You look fucking 600% Irish.
Look at the head in you over there.
And he is fucking slagging me off.
I'm not slagging you off
it's like
you sure
you got an Irish joint
I'm on a farm
with me dad
and you know
fucking Henry Monk
Henry Monk
yeah
you have an Irish head
Dan you have got
an Irish head
an Irish head
Will's got an Irish head
what will you
dirty woman
shoe wearing bastard.
You've had a wild
sort of couple of years
really Dan haven't you?
Yeah.
It's been a bit mad
to be fair.
You won about 17
new act competitions
then got nominated
for best new
coming at the Edinburgh Festival.
Yeah.
Like just back to back.
He's the most decorated
comedian
in the history
of UK comedy. See you said that before and I do disagree. in the history of uk comedy see you said that
before and i do disagree but of like competition my favorite thing you said though you went to me
once after i once but you were like you'll win the fucking kentucky derby at this rate
but yeah no it was crazy to be fair because uh because you won though before covid as well
i was like the poorest cunt in comedy you know what i mean that's how you would have seen me
around but he said before your mom and dad had money and then they have they lost it all have
they done the proper working class thing of win the loss of it and then you're painting and
decorating again six months later no so my mom's a solicitor and then my dad was like fucking,
like did fuck all
and then they split up
and then he took like quite a lot of their money
and then he doesn't work
and neither does my mum.
Yes, lad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's a legend, basically.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's good at FIFA.
His dad is?
Yeah, I'd imagine.
Is he good at FIFA?
Good at FIFA?
Well, if he's not doing anything.
Oh, I understand. Yeah, just chilling. And he can buy loads of packs with at FIFA well if he's not doing anything oh I understand yeah just chilling
and he can buy loads
of packs with all
them fucking money
he's got off the
solicitor
yeah
he doesn't play
FIFA but he would
be shit at it
I'm pretty sure
yeah
because Dan
so Dan
the first year I did
Edinburgh
him and Paddy Young
were both doing
a split show
called Hunks
and Dan was
I'd say you were
were you
six months in
a year in
you weren't long yeah about six to a year so they had a picture of them on the front and it's called hunks and dan was i say you were you six months in a year in you weren't long yeah
but so they had a picture of them on the front and it's called hunks which you think is ironic
but thing is paddy young is a hunk so he looks really handsome dan isn't no that's not at all
i think I think
you
you talk
I don't know
what you were thinking
it was
you're a bastard
yeah yeah yeah
bastard head
bastard head
you know
he's Irish
or whatever
but like Paddy
Paddy looks
it looks unbelievably good
so but the two boys so they were doing a split show below me uh or before my show and uh
but so and this was it how long were you in so it's about less than a year in for sure
yeah we were in like the worst fucking room like like imagine the worst room like you were in the
same room with us and when we arrived we all had to fucking, like,
spade, like, fucking rubble
out of the thing
for, like, an hour and a half.
And I was like,
oh, I didn't know about this part
of the fringe.
I thought we were going to find
some bodies underneath.
And then some improv group
comes out and goes,
has anyone moved our rubble?
That's not a proper action.
Three, two, one,
and it's 9 11 let's go
uh well so dan and pad had the uh they showed the two of them uh were before my show we had a guy
from manchester called paul who was like our venue captain yeah nutter he was a fucking nutter he was
doing like a one-man play about like fucking addiction or
something yeah and he was clearly like you felt a bit unsafe he'd be laughing and then there'd be
a tint to him where you're like what the fuck yes and it was kind of like the the one-man show was
about doing like uh pills in like like 90s manchester did you watch it huh i went to see
it as well yeah yeah i did go to see it he does about a 20 minute routine of him. I can't tell you how much money you'd have to pay me
to go and choose to watch a one man play.
Even if it went to the point where it might be so shit,
it'd be entertaining.
Because there's a point, isn't there,
where you hear about an Edinburgh show
and you're like, oh, actually, yeah.
Oh, do you know what?
Oh, actually, there was a lad called Nick Pupo
who was at the Fringe this year.
Yeah.
Is that your name?
Nick Pupo? Nick Nappyhead was at the show at the Fringe this year. Yeah. Is that your name? Nick Pupo?
Nick Nappyhead
was at the show.
At the Fringe.
I nearly said something awful there.
Yeah, I saw that.
No, no, no, actually, no, no, no.
Mr. Pupo.
Yeah, Nick Pupo, yeah.
Mr. Pupo.
Mr. Pupo, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He had a show about cerebral palsy or something, did he?
No, he didn't.
No, he had a show
about being a head
you know
potato
he did
it was a sort of
half one one play
half stand up thing
and I went
it was one of the best
things I've seen
so yeah
maybe I will go
oh it was like
actually really good
it was fucking brilliant
oh there you go
and there was like
six people there
and it was still brilliant
and that's the test
of an Edinburgh show
I think
yeah
it can't be good
to no one
my friend Terence had one about his cancer he is second time having cancer and uh and but he
doesn't ask the audience to be sad from it all he just put those jokes about it and it's it was it
was fucking it was great do you think if you ever had something horrific like that in your life do
you think you'd try and joke about it because as as soon as anything awful happens to or in my life i'm just
like right well i'll get a bit out of that yeah no i'm the exact same i'd be like oh we'll make
this into a bit but i can't be i can't do the sincere parts on stage i would just say the bad
thing in a funny little way like i wouldn't be like hey here's actually a serious part of this
now i can't i can't no i can't do it i don't i just can't i can't do it i don't be like hey here's actually a serious part of this now i can't i can't no i
can't do it i don't i just can't i can't do it i don't want them ever to feel sorry for me at any
point of the show do you know what i mean right yeah that's that's me because but without revealing
too much because i know you're going on tour but your sister is has leukemia yeah yeah and that was
sort of in your show that got nominated at edinburgh this year yeah yeah yeah did you
was there at any point during the show
where you're overly sincere and talking about what it's like?
There was, to be fair,
which was like in previews was fucking mental
because like what I do is like a lot of like yelling,
like it's daft.
And then I'd like say something like,
yeah, and then my sister got diagnosed with leukemia
and the crowd was like, what the fuck?
What the fuck?
Because you're the kinetic energy
when Dan comes on stage,
he's fucking
eating chairs
he's you know
what I mean
he's ripping curtains
off the wall
and wearing them
like a cape
and screaming
and it's just
and it's just
you're wearing a big
cape going
sister's dying
shit everywhere
yeah
he's just squatting down
and shitting on
some minority
person's lap
in the corner
he's like
ah
you know
breaks that beans
breaks it
ah
you know
and he's going mad and it's
dan's non-stop laughter like just laughing and then just to come out and then anyway as he
fucking ties up his belt my sister has leukemia
how did you navigate that so obviously very successfully because you had a great run up there
yeah it was i think it took shape when I was actually there.
I wasn't going to talk about it
because I just felt it was such a,
like to be doing a cancer show on my debut year,
it's just so cynical, isn't it?
It's like, hmm.
And you don't even have a UConn.
Yeah, yeah, no.
If I did, I'd have won.
Who did win?
Exactly.
No.
Come on, Dan!
Come on, Dan!
You're the fucking right!
You're fucking right!
Dan, are you with us?
Are you the fucking right?
Get on the couch!
Oh, I'm just messing around.
They're back working at Starbucks.
A Rouge won, yeah, an amazing comic, great future.
I was hoping it wouldn't be a minority, Dan, when you said it.
Of course it was a minority.
It's the only comedy it was.
To think I'd just shot on her lap as well.
You know, we all cope with loss differently.
I like the idea that she turns up to what the
fuck are you doing
but yeah then i remember like being a car just in morehouse and he was like if you're doing an
introductory hour and it's been like such a big part of your last year you have to
talk about it it would be like mad not to and then yeah i basically just did a 40 minute
club set and then just whacked 15 about that one at the end essentially and it worked yeah yeah
it's all right because the industry are actually fucking stupid they yeah and if you do if you put
enough enough pace pathos at that 40 minute mark then they just forget that you've just done an
hour of club comedy yeah that's it but someone said to me recently that was directed within an inch of its life it fucking wasn't you're talking out your
your show was yeah who said that to you i can't say okay so do it like do you think do they think
there was just someone like fucking uh saying that and now at this point dan what I want you to do is bite the knees of the elderly lady
in the front
at the 50 to evoke
a fear in the crowd
you could get some
of your saliva
in an old lady's eye
did you have a director
at all
I did
Finn Taylor
directed the show
right okay
but it was very much like
that's why he
he would think
it was preposterous
to say it was directed
within an inch of his life
because he was more
just like a script editor
with me
and we like worked through it and like tried to come up.
That's not mad that I had no idea he'd done that
or that he'd ever done that for anyone to be honest.
That's a great match though.
Yeah.
It's not an obvious one,
but it is great when you think about it.
Yeah, I mean, the show was actually much darker
than I think was intended because of that.
You know what I mean?
Cause every route with him is just like fucking.
Yeah, he probably wanted to do black places.
As soon as I had a bit about the army, he yeah he probably wanted to do black yeah as soon
as i had a bit about the army he's saying you need to do a bit about the drones like hitting
weddings that was one of the punchlines you haven't mentioned
yeah it's it's mad isn't it because you never want your show to feel overly directed at all
but like you do want to be honest with the fact when you use one like i've worked with alfie now on my last show and on my current one and he makes everything i do better
and stronger it is just a second eye though that's all it is have you ever used one no do you think
you ever work you've got two um i was thinking of having i was thinking of asking alfie to have a
look at my huh i was i was i was talking out of the side of my mouth to him i heard what he said
all right and i was just, yeah.
Because I thought you were making a thing at me like,
don't mention Alfie.
I thought
you were like, don't mention
Alfie. He got in trouble earlier
this year.
Like, that's all.
I thought you were like...
I heard something on the grapevine.
He was saying some...
What's this
just completely bring up all this drama
imagine being like why did she bring all that up
alfie's talking about his year in his new hour I've seen it
I've seen it in Edinburgh
briefly
very sort of
like an embryo thing
but he did it on Saturday night
it's a hot water
it's going to be such a
fucking great hour to stand on
when I saw it
I saw the same one as you
in Edinburgh
and I was like
I was fucking
it was still
I think it was the best show
I saw the whole thing
and this was him doing it
completely raw
but it was riveting
like just how much
you were like
Jesus Christ
he's so good at being
honest and also so good
at like
saying how he's
a shit person
yeah yeah yeah
he's unreal at that
he's very good
at taking responsibility
for the worst part
of his character
and being like
but there is human
around it
and there's
yeah it is
I was going to be great
I can't wait to see what he does with it.
I gave him a few notes the other night,
and I'm going to see it as often as I can
in his build-up to it.
So you're going to direct his one, then?
I don't know whether he'd want that.
It's not that I wouldn't do it.
I would do it for him if he wanted me to,
but I don't know whether he...
A big part of his year was to do with his previous director,
so I don't want to ruin anything more.
I don't want to speak for him,
but I think he... I don't know whether he'd be entirely comfortable with that but i will
give him some notes here and there as i see the show i'd like someone to direct now that'd be nice
you want to direct someone no no jesus what would i be telling him more calm no uh have you talked
about having calm in a jar on the stage? What about that? And then you eat it halfway through.
No, but I'd like to have someone,
just another eye.
I'd like to have someone just be like, hey.
The first meeting I had with Finn,
I was just like,
it felt like this weight had been taken off my shoulders.
Cause yeah, you can talk to other comics about your hour,
but really it's a bit self-indulgent to be like,
I've got this bit and then you can't really get into it.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Just to have someone else that's interested like in the hour is like yes i
love that i have a lot of pedo stuff in the new show like it's genuinely like 20 minutes pure
pedo it's tom bryan's doing huh it's a two-hander with bins it's about all of Mike's desires it's just called desire
Mike writes
it's just all
but there's a lot
and apparently he thinks
it's too much pedo stuff
so I'd like a director
to come in and be like
hey
that is too much
that's too much pedo stuff
because at the minute
I'm the only one directing
and I think more
you want to be more
more pedo stuff
yeah
I'm just loving it
I'm loving it
I have this angle on
pedos at the minute.
I think I've got their number,
you know what I mean?
They want to fuck kids.
Fucking mad.
Fucking mad.
That's what he's running on.
What about these people who fuck kids?
Wild.
Now they want to fuck kids?
Mad.
I don't know if you've heard,
Michael Jackson,
not only the greatest entertainer in the world
do you think he did it
who
Michael Jackson
absolutely yeah
of course he did it
of course he did
but there are some people
who that's the hill
they'll die on
100%
no way
it's like what
I'm not sure you know
yeah
see this is
I think there are
people
why are you not sure
that's it
I don't believe
you're not sure though
I do I saw a little glint come in your eye that was just like I want to play Johnny Cochran I think there are people. Why are you not sure? I don't believe you're not sure though, Adam.
I saw a little glint come in your eye
that was just like,
I want to play Johnny Cochran
on fucking Michael Jackson here.
I think it's entirely possible
that people would just have to lose money
because at the end of the day,
I think it was two on the nose.
Do you know what I mean?
He was such an obvious pedophile
that I don't think he can be.
Right.
Do you know what I mean?
You can't have a,
because if you've got a fetish feeling that you can't be fucking can be. Right. Do you know what I mean? You can't have a, like,
because if you've got
a fetish feeling
that you can't be
fucking the kids
because it's obvious
that you're fucking the kids.
Wait,
that logic though,
Savile is also innocent.
Yeah.
Say it again.
What?
What?
It's two on the nose.
Say that again.
It's two on the nose.
Can I have one?
Worth it.
That's very good.
That's very good.
I like it.
Yeah,
I think it's just,
there can't be that much smoke without fire.
It just can't.
He admitted to sleeping in bed with kids.
Yeah.
He said that?
Oh yeah, no, that's mad.
I'm not saying he wasn't a weird little guy, Carl.
I'm saying a lot of them.
Rims, a lot of them as well.
Yeah.
His best friend was a monkey named Bubbles.
That was his best mate.
It was a monkey.
It was a monkey.
It was his best friend on earth. It was a monkey It was his best mate It was a monkey Was his best friend on earth
Was a fucking monkey
This is not a joke
His best mate was a monkey
Named Bubbles
Was that his best mate?
That was his best mate in the world, lads
That's weird
Lads
He slept in a cot beside the bed
Bubbles
Sitting down there
So Bubbles
There's no way Bubbles didn't see what was going on.
Oh yeah, Intelligate Bubbles.
So he was complicit.
This is absolutely true.
Bubbles just turned 40 this year.
No, I swear to God.
I swear on my life.
Bubbles had a 40 yet.
This is...
Bubbles is 40th.
We're going down the Longview Labour Club.
There's Mars putting a spread on bananas
banana bread he's like they uh perfected this over the lockdown
go on so bubbles turned 40 this year so don't stop saying 10 40 like he works like
I'm saying 1040 like he works like
I know He's seen things. Lad, if that little cunt could talk.
Like, I swear to God,
we need to get like a Louis Theroux with Bubbles
and just see like what was going on.
He fucking knows what was going on.
He's had tea with the mayor of Japan.
Of course he has.
The mayor of Japan.
Bubbles is one of the foremost fucking monkeys on earth right now.
Do you think Bubbles was a pedo?
I think there's no way he couldn't have known what was happening.
No, I think what Dan's asking is, do you think he ever got involved?
Yeah, yeah, exactly right.
He drew them in, didn't he?
He was like, hey, monkey.
That's right.
He was like, woo, woo, ah, woo, woo.
And then they were like, monkey, monkey.
And then it was like, and then he disappeared.
And then Wacko Jack was like, ah.
He was a wingman.
Huh?
He was a wingman.
He was a wingmonkey, yeah.
He was a wingmonkey.
And he, no, I don't know why everyone thinks this is that funny. he's a wingman huh he's a wingman he's a wing monkey yeah he's a wing monkey um and he
no
I don't know why
everyone thinks
this is that funny
this is a 40 year old
pedo monkey
who has never been
held to account
yeah
imagine
yeah
100%
I ain't saying
nothing
in my defence
I am a monkey
I plead
I am a monkey I plead I am a monkey
Why didn't you do any
Well in my defence
I am actually a monkey
To make it fair you'd need a couple of monkeys
on the jury as well
I have a joke there But to make it fair, you'd need a couple of monkeys on the jury as well.
I haven't joked it.
Dan, you used to be a dinner lady, didn't you?
Yeah.
What is that? To be fair, you can't talk about paedophile monkeys
without making a smooth transition into my time
working as a supervisor in a canteen.
Are you a dinner lady?
Yeah, I am.
But in my defence...
I am a monkey.
What else am I going to do?
It's either fuck kids or give them dinner.
One of the two.
I chose the righteous path.
How the fuck did you get into that?
How did I get into it?
I got scouted.
You must have had family in the industry.
There's no way.
He's a nemo baby.
He's a lady.
He only got that job cos his mum's head's in a lady.
At what point...
Do you have family who work for the same place?
No, no, no. So at what point do you, family who work for the same place no no no what point do you
dante even because if i if i was unemployed and couldn't yeah yeah you would never i can't tell
you how many other places i would try to get a job before i was like do you know what i might
try and be a dinner lady yeah that's what i mean by hat why did you that is fair yeah
i just want to be clear
it wasn't like my dream job at all when i started comedy i was like well i'll get a job as a dinner
lady but basically oh sorry dinner man what dinner man no but it's not though that's not gender that's
not gender this role mate no he was a dinner lady superhero as well you're dinner man, go down. Dinner man, down, down. The dinner monkey.
The dinner monkey.
The dinner monkey.
Yeah, so when I wanted a job that fitted around comedy,
a lot of people were TAing.
So then I started applying to agencies
and agencies get you like temp work.
So then I was just like two hours a day,
five minutes from my house, do you wanna do this?
I was like, absolutely, and you get a free scone as well oh i'm telling you it was a school cake
did you get school cake uh yeah what i don't maybe but i feel like there might be some weird
scouse school no no no no it's like it's like um a sponge cake white they didn't have that i know
exactly what you're talking about no i didn't have that but I know exactly what you're talking about. Nah, I didn't have that. But that was peng back in the day.
With custard, mate.
Yeah, it's nice.
Still, I reckon up there with the best pizza I've ever had
was the margarita from Carlton.
On a Friday?
Unbelievable.
And you point your slice out before you got there.
Like, I'm having that piece.
And if your mate took it, it was over.
Yeah, unbelievable.
It was like your mate shagging your beard.
Yeah, I said that was mad.
You fucked me pizza slice.
Food's fucked now, though, at the schools. it's not like it i remember it was not nice it was there was no salt in anything at
all oh really yeah like really bland food yeah um but it's mad it was genuinely a fucking mad
environment to work in because you'd have 500 kids coming in through the canteen and you'd only be
able to see about 60 of them at the time so then you'd fuck maybe more maybe about 100 so it's like an absolute 400
kids running rogue with bowls of soup but you know yeah you're bringing them in and
they'd be like the year fives are coming let's go go go and like yeah it's absolute carnage
there's food getting lobbed at the ceiling yeah and then you've got like a negotiation
with like an autistic kid trying to get them to eat a fucking strawberry or some shit uh i don't know uh
that's the first it'll take your magical powers come on i've already got them i'm
already levitating the fucking pudding with his mind how long were you a dinner lady for them
well about well i was actually furloughed during covid so i don't know as a dinner lady for them well about well i was actually furloughed during
covid so i don't know as a dinner lady yeah and then i came back afterwards and then so about two
years i'd say but uh when i came back it was shit because there was no canteen so it's just in the
classrooms so you were just like delivering sandwiches and no one knew what they were doing
it was a bit crap did you feel like the power because Because I have a real issue with people
who are fucking dishing out the fucking carvery stuff
or the portions when they're miserable cunts about it.
Like that actually...
Do all my asses sound, you know?
Really?
Yeah, he's a Chinese fella.
Because it incenses me when people are tight with food
that isn't theirs.
Yeah, particularly if it's like a chain,
it's like surely your fellow human, we need to stick it. We, particularly if it's like a chain, it's like, surely we, your fellow human,
we need to stick it.
We're in a McDonald's the other day,
they didn't fucking, like, I had a,
well, you know, they needed a penny for the tenner
and I couldn't find it anywhere
and she just changed it out, you know,
gave me 9.99.
But don't you think that's,
just let me off the penny.
That's just fucking ridiculous.
Yeah.
When I worked in the kitchen in Machies,
if someone ordered 20 nuggets,
I'd just put like 24 in.
Yeah.
Let's look after each other.
I've had
I've had some of my most like
like profound gratitude
for people who have been
generous to me
in those situations.
I remember at one time
I was like dirt poor
I was on the dole in Dublin
couldn't really afford my rent
and I went over
to get a battered sausage and chip
and it was this Turkish guy
behind the counter
and I was like just looking at I want a garlic dip with my battered sausage and chip. It was this Turkish guy behind the counter. And I was like just looking at,
I wanted garlic dip with my battered sausage and chip,
but I couldn't afford it.
And I was just there staring at the garlic dip
that was in the fridge like this.
And I just didn't have the money.
It was 180 for a garlic dip.
I didn't have that much money.
What kind of fucking dip is this?
Huh?
Lad, it's fucking thick.
The Irish garlic dip, lad,
it is fucking, oh my Jesus.
It'd make your bum tingle.
It's lovely stuff, lad. Don't fucking, oh, by Jesus. It'd make your bum tingle. It's lovely stuff, lad.
Don't put it on your ass.
Huh?
I probably shouldn't have put it in my ass.
I would dip the battered sausage
in garlic dip and then...
That's why he wouldn't give you it.
He was like,
he was going to put it on his ass.
No, but so I was looking at it
and I don't know if he saw me
looking at the garlic dip,
but anyway,
he did the chips and the battered sausage
and just gave me the stuff.
And when I went home and opened it up,
he had put a garlic dip in it for free. And I just
thought that man's an angel. Like in his head, he's like,
he will eat garlic dip tonight.
It was my dad. It is up to me.
It was your father. Is your father a
chipper man? He's a Turkish man.
Oh, is he? No way.
He is happy though. He is happy.
Hello, mate. Have you got a little dip
there, mate? Have you yourself a little dip and be happy tonight?
Be happy.
You know, don't give me 180.
I take it from charity.
I am now Russian.
What?
Russian.
Dan, was it your school that you went back to
to dinner lady at?
It actually was.
But did you know that?
We know everything about you, Dan.
That's a...
What the hell?
That wasn't on our notes,
but we've got notes about your school.
Yeah, my... Wait. Oh, about Hume Hall. It wasn't that school, just to be clear. Right, Dan. That's a... What the hell? That wasn't on our notes, but we've got notes about your school. Yeah, my...
Wait.
Oh, about Hume Hall.
It wasn't that school, just to be clear.
Right, okay.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's the Hume Hall thing?
We've got notes about Dan's...
A dance troupe in Dan's school.
This is so good.
Right, so I do material about the spazzy school I went to, right?
Okay.
He can say that, by the way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Why?
Because I'm doing this podcast
um why can you say that like i don't think it's immediately obvious that why i can say that
because i have dyspraxia yeah uh i think it's immediately obvious that you are. Why I can say that. Because I have dyspraxia. Yeah.
I think it's called something else now, actually.
Some woman told me after a show.
Is that like struggling with coordination?
Yeah, it used to be called clumsy child syndrome back in the day, apparently.
How lazy is that?
Yeah, I know.
Like you can't catch things?
Yeah.
Go on.
Yeah, yeah, let's do it.
But I've learned.
I wanted everything in my fiber to catch that. Let's fucking.. But I've learned. I wanted everything in my fiver to catch that.
Let's fucking.
Look at that as well.
What a grip.
I do feel like we've got a man in a wheelchair.
Shit.
No, no.
Shit.
I was about to say, this is one of the meanest games
I've ever seen me play.
Just immediately Adam just like,
let's fucking see then.
What was heartbreaking
is for you to say it's mean
and I didn't realise
because in my head I'm like,
this is a frill.
Everyone's laughing at me,
right?
Yeah.
It's fucking great.
I love it.
Go on, Dan.
So you say you went to,
in your words,
a spazzy school.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, well, again,
this is coming back to me being a posh
cunt actually because uh i had dyspraxia got diagnosed in reception at school and went in
normal school till year three and then got taken out went to private school in year three uh which
but it wasn't like a good private school. It was like for fit kids
that couldn't get into the other schools
or kids that were severely like...
Do you not move in school?
I always...
Because I stayed in the same...
You stayed in the same school with what?
Didn't you?
You didn't move.
Yeah.
Is that like properly...
Does it throw you off?
Yeah, it's horrible.
Kids going,
oh, I was in there in year five.
I'm like,
your life must have been fucking mad.
It must be well done, Tim.
Because it must be...
It's so important to stick with the same people in the same place at that age
you had to move schools four times um there was a lad who went to our school who uh he was a bit of
a gimp and then he went he moved to west arby school oh i know what you're talking about and
he and he sort of tried to reinvent himself as like the hard kid in this school and then i got
sent there like i was studying economics at school. And then I got sent there.
I was studying economics at A-level,
so I got sent there.
Was it?
Our school didn't offer it.
Was it DA?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I turned up and everyone was like,
yeah, he's fucking, he goes sick.
And I was like, no, he doesn't.
He's such a muppet.
Yeah, he reinvented himself as the hard kid.
We had a hard kid sent to,
so I went to this country school where it was
like there was six people in my class uh so it was like just literally like just flowers and cows and
goats like we were just wait and that was just a normal school well no well it was just particularly
rural like so we're farmers so it's like a rural school school for me is that that's like the class
size is that like my grandma paid loads of money for but you just got that
fucking we just got it from that sentence sounded bad by the way my grandma we got it from just
being in a an isolated weird place so but we had it but sometimes uh children from the town would
be sent out because our our little place was like this little kind of utopian place where people
chat to uh butterflies and you know what I mean,
like befriended squirrels and stuff.
So we were innocent.
We were very innocent children.
So then bad kids from the town would be like sent out for rehabilitation
because they would melt in the presence of our kindness and our joy.
They would see the error of their ways.
But like literally this fella came out.
His name was Daryl Cummins.
He was a good lad, but there was a nastiness there.
You know what I mean?
There was a cruelty to him.
And so when he arrived, first order of business
was just to tell us all that fucking Santa's not real.
He just, first thing he did,
first thing he did, like first day in,
number one, Daryl Cummins, number two,
if you give me a punch in'll punch you in the face.
Santa's not real, right?
And so this is how innocent we were.
We just went, all right, yeah, yeah.
As soon as he turned his back, we were like,
he must think we're fucking stupid.
Santa's not real.
And where would my father get a sleigh, you stupid cunt?
You fucking idiot.
We thought he was the biggest flute
of all time
just because he
doesn't get presents
because he's
fucking bold
he's naughty
and he thinks
we're going to
believe that
we thought he was
such an idiot
I had it all the time
oh yeah we called
people so
stop being bold
if a child is
misbehaving they're
bold
yeah stop being so
bold
brave almost
no you're just
bold you're just
bad
it's bad i was a
bold child like if the font was in bold yeah yes it stands out you got a you went to private school
in year three keep going oh right yeah keep telling your story thanks mate uh yeah well uh
but no my point is is i just didn't work there because that would have been a different story
do you know what i mean but yeah the school i worked at was just like a regular primary school but my school was west very odd place
yeah what's this about the dance troupe because i've literally just got had a dance troupe i just
want to know about it i mean we have we have the name yeah we have the name no no but these are
the things this is a classic because someone's that this is just my stand-up, and I hate to break it to you, but it's not true. No.
Come on, Danny.
You thought I had a dance trip called Neurodiversity.
Come on, man.
It's so good.
This is a big operation.
We wanted to believe you.
This is like couldn't believe his eyes when he was reading it.
This is fucking good. gold No I write this stuff
Oh no
Sorry fellas
I know
That's why I tried to
Wait
Stand-ups lie
Yeah I know
Is this true
You're into hot
You're into hot twinks
How the fuck
do you know that
Have you been looking at my porn history
Wait
I like like
Yeah like twinks.
Is that from another podcast?
Yeah.
You don't know what you get.
This is just a fact sheet that we get given by...
Oh, the East Ads.
Right, I understand, understand.
Hot twinks.
Do you know what a twink is?
Isn't it like a tiny little gay man?
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah.
A little skinny, drug-addled, bulimic gay man.
Yeah, that's what I like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's been full title.
It's been audio, but yeah.
I just shot...
A little gay man with shock and anxiety.
No, I'm not.
He's troubling.
It's not a turn on their mental.
Like a mad little troubled man.
Every time we've had a member of the gays in the room.
Community.
The gays community.
I've had it the best though so far.
Oh, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. oh absolutely yeah i'm doing that for you fellas
yeah i asked i asked laddie dean this because uh i wanted to he's another well as well yeah
he's another covert one yeah yeah yeah undercover yeah but are you the bummer or the bummy because
i'm obsessed with this because well no but i have but I have though, because the fact that like,
I didn't know until a few years ago
that the gays like just picked one
and then relatively speaking,
like they stuck to their one role.
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
I just thought you were like, you know,
my dick in your ass, let's swap around.
So we go, you just mad to me.
Like you said like, no, I just get bummed
and you just do the bumming.
Yeah, what do you think, Adam?
What do I think you are? and you just do the bumming. Yeah. What do you think, Adam? What do I think you are?
I think you're the bummer.
I think you are absolutely battering bumholes.
Thanks for having me, yeah.
Am I right?
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Can you get with another bummer?
You what?
Can you get with another...
I guess you just wouldn't bum, right?
You'd...
No, you wouldn't bum right
you know you wouldn't you want my father
are you seeing him
that is not a lot of people notice but dumb but Dumbledore and Voldemort, they're both bummers. That is their problem. That is their big issue.
So you didn't get on, yeah.
There's one of the reasons they can do it to a like.
Do bottoms get together?
Do you just like kiss bums?
I just don't think it happens, Carl.
No, it must happen.
You can still be attracted to someone
not based on how they have sex.
I mean, typically,
I'm not the best person to talk about this,
but typically I think it's pretty inferred what you are. they have sex typically i i like i'm not the best person to talk about this but like uh like
typically i think it's pretty inferred what you are you know like like a bottom like i i've not
had loads of sexual experience but every time i have it's been there's not been a conversation
it's just obvious they have holes in their in their jeans yeah yeah
holding the back of the dream
instead of bottom
holding the front
instead of top
such a good system
so you just like
you just know inherently
like what you are
I mean I'm sure
there's a lot of people
that say oh no
like sometimes there's
yeah
it just tends to be
like the more masculine one
right
it's going to be doing
the bumming
yeah I don't know
some people are versatile
as well and some people were were bummers like me and then end up realizing
they'll have a go at bumming later on do you know what i mean yeah bumming bumming yeah yeah
bumming and rhapsody yeah
poignant rhapsody pretty good yeah bumming and Rhapsody. I think we got it.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I just thought you were slow to react, to be honest.
Freddie Mac, you can be in both of them.
Yeah.
Can you not just say one night, I want to get bummed?
What?
Yeah, I guess.
I've never been bummed, but I reckon if I live to like 50,
I'll be bummed at some point. I think that's all of us, don't we?
Yeah.
That is mad.
Look at Will. That is mad. Look at Will.
That is mad that he can be gay,
have gay sex,
but never do that.
Yeah.
I was like,
I thought he just like switched it up.
Just doesn't like,
genuinely doesn't cross my mind.
It would have seemed to me originally,
it'd be incredibly ungenerous
not to offer up your hole.
If you've just stuck it in someone else's hole
and then you're like, yeah yeah I'm actually not into that
it's like getting you round
I'll get you next one
you're round
turn around
do you know what
are you the
are you the
we did well
but now you see because I'm
I'm not like that experience
if someone said that to me
and maybe I think
oh is that the etiquette
I had no idea
like
fuck
oh
is that when you buy cocaine
and the next day
you get charged for it
you have to send it
you're like
fucking hell
I didn't know
that was the deal
like
yeah
thought they were
gonna meet for free
yeah
I thought it was friendship
but no
they were charging you
but my friend
a good friend of mine
Rob
very funny comic as well
Rob Moriarty
but he
he's great
I hosted King Gong
when he won it
yeah
he's unreal
hilarious
but he blew
he went to a guy's house
and blew
and blew the guy
blew the
blew his cock asunder
you know
and your man
shagged his head
and everything
like it trottled his head and Rob said all's fair in his head and everything like it trottled his head
and Rob said
all's fair
in the love and war
so he trottled his head
chips in his
chips into Rob's gob
Rob swallows it
like a champ
next thing your man
just gets onto bed
and goes to sleep
and Rob literally
had to start
like trying to shake
and being like
lad
wake up there
will you
like every other man I swear to god he's like
can you suck my cock he was like i never said i'd suck your cock that'd be disgusting oh i was like
what a lack of what a lack of decency like yeah i think if he's gay I think everybody
in this room
needs an immediate break
it's the final section
we're still here with
Mick
and Dan
the Irishman
the three Irishmen
anyone call you Mick
no but I don't mind it now
I don't like Mickey
or Mikey
but I like Mick
Mike
Michael's fine
Mickey Rice is sick though
isn't he
Mickey Rice
but Mickey is just the decal decal dicks Mickey's here sick though isn't he huh Mickey Rice but Mickey is just
do you call
do you call dicks
Mickey's here
no we don't
see in Ireland
we'd be like
Mickey is your cock
yeah
do you know what I mean
like you have a smelly
Mickey on you
do you know what I mean
that's what I'd say to you
you're the richest
you've got a smelly
Mickey on you
you can smell it from here
watch your Mickey
old podcasts have been like good fucking god You've got to smell Mickey, aren't you? I can smell it from here. Watch your Mickey.
All podcasts have been like, good fucking God.
It's not as a fucking cheesecake factory. Sticky Mickey.
Yeah.
In the break, I was earwigging you two.
Yeah.
And you were talking about something that happened in Spain.
Yeah, well, so me and Dan went, we took a little trip to Spain.
You two?
Yes.
I didn't know you were that close.
Yeah.
Well, so we.
But it wasn't just us, crucially.
Yeah, it wasn't.
It wasn't like a romantic trip.
Because I'd say we're close, but we're not.
Yeah.
It would be insane if me and you went to Spain together.
That would be insane if we went to Spain together.
No, but we're friendly and we had been around.
Friendly?
Huh?
Yeah.
That was like, we're civil.
Yeah.
We will pass.
We'll pass ourselves with each other. No, but like, we're civil yeah we will pass uh we'll we'll we'll pass ourselves with each
other no but like like we're we're friends but so but um so me patty young john splan and dan
after the fringe one year we're like let's go on a fucking a little holiday so we went to
spain to help a few shows in barcelona and um and at that time it's funny because like Dan, this was maybe 2019.
Right before COVID.
Right before COVID, yeah.
And none of us, we were all,
no one was anywhere in comedy at that point.
Pim and Paddy both got nominated
for Best Newcomer this year.
Like, it's so unbelievable.
And I did a lot of cocaine this year.
So everyone did something.
Actually fucking have a word. Like some have a word lads coming out my show afterwards and this is the worst of rax and was just like do you want to
stripe in the jacks strap on the jacks and he just brought me down to the jacks and got me absolutely
fucking off off my fucking rocker struggled so much with his coke addiction because so many of
our listeners like i know you've quit the coke but do you want some now though yeah every show he ever does i know you've got a problem lads i know
but just like a little cheeky one yeah and i had i was pretty sure i had covered at the time as well
i was not in good form but you can't turn it down either do you know that can way you're like free
coke what yeah i'm not i'm not who am i the king of france I can't turn that down. That's the only person who says it. He's notorious for it.
Danny, are you a drugsman?
Am I?
We're not the mans.
No, I know that, but you seem like you could be, though.
Do you know what I mean?
I think it's just because we're so high on life, Dan.
People just look at me and Carl and they go,
do you know what, they're doing it so right.
They must be on performance in Hands and Drugs,
but it's just joy.
But if you did cocaine,
you'd become a dictator of a small country somewhere. I've done it though,
and genuinely, like, I just
don't get it, really.
Like, I don't, like, it's not being shite,
it's just, it just doesn't do it for me, and
there's just something a bit icky about it, you know what I mean?
Oh, it does get rotten towards the end of Annie Nice.
Yeah, it's gross. It is disgusting,
but lovely at the same time.
Do you know what I mean
I know
yeah
I just never like
also like
I like the feeling
of being pissed
so like I don't want
to delete the last
five pints I've had
I want to be
I want to be
eight Guinness in
that's me at my
absolute peak
yeah
I did
Dan do you ever
have a wank
when you're
on Cogar
tried to have one
yeah yeah yeah because I had one there when I did yeah yeah yeah that have a wank when you're on Cogar tried to have one yeah yeah yeah
because I had one
there when I did
yeah yeah yeah
that's the only reason
I do it
a lot of people
do it at the pub
I stay at home
big old wank
just you at home
me and my Mickey
just a bit of lube
a bit of coke
just you at the pub
because I got
given a little bump after a show and I was like I'm just going home Just a bit of lube A bit of coke Just to get that Because I got given
A little bump after a show
And I was like
I'm just going home
Straight after a show
I was sick and everything
This is the night after
I'd done it with your man
Who looked like
Just a shaved head
Liverpool fella
That came in to strive
The next night
A Northern Ireland lad
Is like trying to bump
And I was like
I'm going straight home to bed
So I was like
I'll just do the bump
And go home to bed
So I did the bump
And then went home But then I was just there And then I was like Well sure Jeez I'm up now I to bed. So I was like, I'll just do the bump and go home to bed. So I did the bump and then went home.
But then I was just there
and then I was like,
well,
geez,
I'm up now.
I better have a wank.
I swear to God,
this was,
I think 70 minutes.
Yeah,
Dan says he has hour wanks.
Yeah.
I honestly,
it sounds awful.
It does sound awful.
Awful.
Lads,
it's shocking.
I was like a fucking fly
caught in a spider web.
Do you know what I mean?
Like the sheets were just painted onto me.
Occasionally on a hangover,
I'll have like a little extended,
like a director's cut wank
where it's like eight minutes.
But that is like an absolute top end limit.
Like what are we doing here?
I was just getting the demon out of me.
It was like Ali Fraser, me and my cock.
Like Dennis Lewis.
Just get it done.
In and out.
I'm going to score S say, is he one?
Can I...
Oh, my.
But you know, you're on coke, though, as well,
so you kind of fancy the challenge, you know what I mean?
Oh, my.
You're kind of loving the...
Like, after a while, you take a break,
you're in one corner, your cock's in the other,
you're both getting fucking...
Ice.
I don't know, you see no bell?
I don't know, you see no bell?
That's how it works, Rocky.
Yeah.
I don't see no bell. I can't feel my bell. Yeah. I can't feel my bell. I can feel my bell. That's how it works, Rocky. Yeah. I can feel my bell.
Yeah.
I can feel my bell.
I could, like, hear my, like, coaches from when I was younger shout as I was wanking,
like, come on, Mikey Rice.
Come on, Mike.
You can fuck off.
Are you chasing the jizz or are you just liking it?
No, I'm chasing the jizz, lad.
But I'm wanting to fucking cum but I'm on
antidepressants and coke so it's like
it's doubly hard to get there.
But finally I was just like lad there's
there was blood there was like families
crying outside my window they're like no
senor no and then when I came lad I
fucking it went I'm talking this went
through the fucking ozone layer you know
what I mean like like this fucking came to moon's face like what the fuck
i swear to god
yeah
but um but so me and dan were in barcelona uh and uh so we were doing this
show right but it's the worst it was bad it was really bad like yeah when we arrived i i went in
first into the room and i just immediately turned around to look at the referee like we're gonna
fucking bomb here yeah it's a shit yeah why did you even arrange them though if you've gone on
all these can you just go and because it's when we're at that point where i think we all like like
gigging together in edinburgh so let's go and do the best way to replicate the edinburgh experience
would be to go away and gig in retrospect i think we were all like why are we doing these rotten
little gigs yeah because we could actually be having a pleasant time on this holiday and yet
we're we're stuck for hours in this fucking miserable situation but so
we're all just fucking we all just fucking eat shit but we're all also getting fucking hammered
at the same time so we're getting pissed yeah you know i was like a little sucky calf with the
whiskey and then we were the whole show as well yeah so there's some ropey mc uh i can't remember
who that was yeah and then your mate what was his name mad cunt comic
something tiernan
don't look at tiernan
he's got the same surname as me
yeah yeah yeah
very funny
for a second there
I thought you were talking
in the third place
mad cunt
mad cunt
what a lot of competitions
fucking weird
Irish head
you know him
dinner lady
mong
sorry
listen you can say it Monk! Sorry.
Listen.
You can say it.
You can't catch stuff.
Can't catch things.
No, but I am disabled, yes.
Yeah.
I am a... All right.
Now it's just going in the trailer, that.
Yeah.
It absolutely is.
So anyway, and then... we we finish off to get
and anyway we're all fucking full of piss and vinegar after the gig you know that was shite
we've all died it was like why do we do that and then dan was outside so you were out chatting to
this one or this girl because we're all then outside just smoking or whatever outside on
the street the audience were coming out you're trying not to make eye contact with them and then
what does this your one comes up to you.
So I was a few of them and they're talking to me
and they're basically saying like,
they're just giving me loads of advice.
Like, don't talk about this.
Like audiences here don't like that.
Like, you know, you need to talk more.
One of them was like, it was quite cool.
It's like, you need to talk more about your face and stuff.
Kind of.
You're not really using what you've got.
Yeah, yeah.
You need to make reference to your, to this. and stuff kind of you're not really using what you've got yeah yeah it was a good part
you need to make reference to your to this yeah if you see my last show i definitely did take that
advice on board as well to be fair but they're just being genuinely like quite nasty yeah i
might just here's this going on and comes over like yeah well so i heard it going on i might
one of my big pet peeves is just anyone giving anyone advice about anything i don't like
it um yeah well we're gonna be giving advice about no they're working out on their own fuck off
do you know what i mean life will do that for them but one thing but you don't like people who
haven't done comedy this site they've never gone once up on stage and next thing they're fucking
giving someone a lecture that does it
all the fucking time has dedicated
their life to it so them ones were just
like being fucking condescending to Dan
so I was fucking about seven whiskies
deep and I was you know just full of
fucking hate I had hate in my heart you know
so I just went over to one of them and I was like what
the fuck are you saying to
Dan I was like you stupid
fucking rotten I don't know if i said
i think what you did that was worse is you explained to her why what she was doing was
so hurtful to me yeah and it completely broke the woman yeah she starts crying yeah mike leaves
so i'm just being a crying woman so mike Mike's come over to help you, made a woman cry and gone, yeah, I'm out actually.
So now I'm like hugging her, consoling her, like apologising.
Oh yeah, I was the villain in the situation.
But so yeah, I was like, because I really dug it into her. I was like, do you not see how absolutely horrible
what you're doing is to him right now?
How condescending.
Imagine if he came into your job after never doing it
and just started telling you to do your job.
The disrespect, the fucking rotten disrespect.
You're an awful, like I was just really just trying to get her to kill herself.
But like, I didn't, like as in, I didn't want that.
But like in that moment, you know, there was a nastiness.
The whiskey.
There's a person in my head right now.
Yeah.
And I know there's a chance this person might kill themselves.
Yeah.
Because they're having a really bad time.
Yeah.
And I don't want that to happen.
Yeah.
But I also don't want them to ever not have that feeling.
Right.
Like, that's how much I hate them.
I want them to be that sad forever and never do it.
Yeah.
Like I didn't want her to do that, but I did want to.
I love how Mike's trying to plan on with his story.
Who is it?
I can't say it.
I'll bleep it.
No, no.
I'm not even risking it.
I'm not even risking you putting a bleep in and then accidentally
in our bit nudges it.
I can't.
I'm not.
The second we hit that button, I'll tell you.
Sorry.
I thought you were saying, Adam, that that was you.
No, no, no.
Because you said there's a person in me.
No, no, no.
So I was like, there's a person in my head.
And you're like, hi.
And you thought I was.
Well, I love that you just thought he was saying
he's suicidal.
And I was like, anyway, back to my.
No, I'm really sad, Mike.
I'm thinking of ending it right now.
I really want them to kill themselves.
But I hope they don't.
I was like, are we just going to address this?
Right, okay.
I'm glad that that's not you, Adam.
No, I'm...
Are we ready to give some advice?
Yes.
No, you hate it?
You hate advice, but everyone else can give it.
I don't mind advice when I give the advice.
Because that's from a man who bloody who's lived a life.
Yeah.
Right.
This first one is anonymous.
If you've got any correspondence, send it to haveawordpod at gmail.com.
Hi, lads.
Need some urgent advice, but please keep me anonymous.
I'm 25 and recently single.
Past couple of weeks, I've had a thing going on with this 23 year old girl from columbia studying
over here on our second date at the end of the night i was getting a good vibe so leaned in for
a kiss but she pulled away she told me that she'd never actually kissed anyone before on our next
date she came over to mine and i showed her the ropes of necking on stopping once or twice to
legitimately tell her stopping once or twice to legitimately tell her
where she was going wrong. We've planned
another date round at mine
and the chance of taking things further are very
high. However, I'm not sure if I want to be
the one responsible for taking
this girl's V card. Am I being
a fanny and should just go for it? Or is the
responsibility of being someone's first actually
important? And I shouldn't be
the one to do it
if I have no intention
of getting a relationship
with a girl
lie
make lies up
this is how you kiss
lie
yeah
with a banter
don't shag about it
oh yeah
teaching how to be a
fucking revolting kisser
and then just free it
into the world
yeah
lie
teaching all the wrong stuff
also
do you know what
first of all this guy sounds like a massive fanny himself like should I take her like she wants to have Yeah. Like teaching all the wrong stuff. Also, do you know what? Hands down sex?
First of all, this guy sounds like a massive fanny himself.
Like, should I take her virginity?
Like, she wants to have sex with me,
let her have sex with me.
It's fucking, like, she's 23, it's time.
And Colombian as well.
You'd be doing her a favor.
A Colombian 23 year old.
First of all, she's lying.
Let's just all say that.
She is full of shite.
You can't, like, let's take her at face value for a minute
she's never kissed anyone before you can't then be given a tutorial while you're doing it you just
have to go for it and never kiss the girl what if she's 23 in a columbian she's never kissed anyone
this must be the ugliest columbian girl that there's ever been think about it this is these
are this is the hot these are the
hottest people yeah but i think you take that out of it doesn't matter huh it's just well she's
religious huh she's religious she could be very religious yeah but she's obviously turning her
back on christ now if she's looking for this lad's rotten kiosk isn't she would you teach
someone else to kiss michael just move away i would teach no i'd teach but i think it'd be
fun like you said teach her wrong
like you start by
biting her ears
you know what I mean
like just
fucking work her
oh me lips
start sucking on
her nose for about
get out both of these
get out both of these
first
but sure if your woman
says
if she's saying
hey listen
put that
that out
that old rotten
cock in me
why would you not oblige the woman?
Do you know what I mean?
He sounds like a bit of a gimp, doesn't he?
I think so.
Showing her the ropes and neck and everything.
She's like, I've never kissed, and he's like,
well, I'm like an expert.
Like, I'm showing her and that.
It's a bit funny.
He doesn't sound like he's an expert in anything.
No.
He's worried about having sex with a woman
because she hasn't had sex with anyone before.
Yeah.
Like, first of all, even if you're shite in bed,
which is entirely possible, of course,
if you're shite in bed, she's got no frame of reference.
The best she's ever had.
What?
You're the best she's ever had.
Literally impossible for it to be any other way.
Yeah.
Like, look, if this is all real,
then you've got to be really sort of courteous and nice
and make sure it's a good experience for her.
But stop being a fucking big space idiot.

Andrew Tate
runs the Tate Modern
yeah
well I don't know
if you're right

a big patron of it
yeah
he would have

put a lot of
exhibitions in
Tracy Emmett

yeah
so Andrew Tate

get them young when they're um virgins now i think tate is my is a sex trafficker maybe
no he is he is but like he has a lot of he says a lot of great stuff like he says

and you'll get it all
from that
give it a kick
at the end of the season
you want to cry

for this
I just want to say
I don't
it is really funny
by the way
to live in a world
where Andrew Tate
is just Andy Tate
who's lost the weight
fast by the way
that is a lovely
world to live in
he went on
Big Brother
he's lost all the weight got fucking ripped moved to fucking Romania and now he's like this fucking That is a lovely world to live in. He went on Big Brother.
He's lost all the weight, got fucking ripped,
moved to fucking Romania,
and now he's like this fucking meninist gobshite cunt.
But in the end, all he truly cares about,
the reason he's started trafficking and abusing women is because he can't handle the demise of Manchester United.
That is a world that I can live in.
Right, we've got another bit of advice.
Please keep me anonymous as the missus listens.
For obvious reasons, you're about to hear,
I think it's something best kept secret.
This isn't specific to her, but it's for any girl I've dated.
Luckily, it's just specific to girls I've had sexual relations with.
When they cry, I get an erection.
Not every time,
but the majority,
especially if we have argued
about something
they have done wrong.
It seems like I'm not the only one
from a quick Google.
So does this happen to any of you?
Any advice on how I handle this?
Cheers, lads.
Andy Tate gets an erection
when we cry as well, doesn't he?
He can't come unless they're crying.
That's a fact.
Are you nodding as in
this is a thing for you?
Oh, 100%, yeah.
What?
I'm better than someone being upset.
What are we talking about?
Just shake it apart!
Thank God for that.
I tell you, this is the absolute truth.
It starts to really worry me,
the lunatics we've gathered as a family.
Oh, I love making women cry.
They're not crying.
I can't come anyway.
What do I do about that?
Have a baby with me. Oh, with them, we're not crying I can't come anyway what do I do about that have a baby
oh with them
they're not crying enough
what's going on
grief is an aphrodisiac Adam
Sinead O'Connor mate
famously
yeah so we were all
as hard as fucking
granite
when O'Connor passed
no
when she died
yeah
no I mean when she cried
in the video
oh
sorry
alright
it's been 15 days Yeah. No, I mean when she cried in the video. Oh. Sorry. All right.
It's been 15 days since you took your love away.
So Vittorio, and I'll out him right here now,
Vittorio gets turned on by grief and pain.
Vittorio Angelone.
The grief and pain of others that's true
i'm killing all the relatives as missus
oh sorry babe come here yeah come here yeah yeah
hang on so there's dan do you like when like do i like it when women cry
no did you get aroused when people no i don, I think it's interesting how this person's like,
keep me anonymous because the missus listens.
Like his missus is going to be like, oh, it's not just him.
Oh, that's good.
Oh, thank God for that.
I don't think he's told his missus is the thing.
Oh.
I don't think he's being like, hey, babe, can you cry for me?
Because it gets me.
I think he's writing into us because he's like...
Because you can't say that. When you cry, I you cry for me? Because it gets me. I think he's writing into us because he's like. You can't. You can't.
You can't say that.
When you cry, I get turned on and I don't know why.
So that means there's loads of have a word missuses thinking.
That's mad, isn't it?
That is mad.
But I think in reality, when a girl is crying and they're emotional and then you're over
and you're like, oh, hey, it's all right.
And then there's kind of the wetness.
No, do you know what it is?
It's probably like a man thing.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, I will look after you.
And that means fucking you.
I will look after you
and put an air in your belly
who will also look after you.
And then, you know what I mean?
And not just me,
I'm going to make
another little fella
that's going to look after you
as well.
It's broody.
It's broody.
They're crying. I'm going to make another little fella that's going to look after you as well. It's broody. It's broody. They're crying.
I'm going to make another little fella.
No, but does it difference?
That's a good Irish expression.
Does it difference between liking the idea of being there
for someone when they're going through something
and there's a difference between that
and she's upset.
I want to fucking smash her head in.
Like it is like.
Yeah, no, you're right.
Getting erect when someone cries is wild. That is not good. Yeah. And you can't choose like. Yeah. No, you're right. Getting erect when someone cries is wild.
That is not good.
Yeah.
And you can't choose like what gets you erect,
but it's not really a defense, is it?
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pedophiles can't either.
But I judge them.
Just stop it.
Pedophiles don't cry.
There we go.
Let's end pedophilia now.
Stop it.
Yeah.
Stop it.
Enough.
Cut it out.
Stop acting the maggot.
It's bloody horseplay and well you know it. Right? Horseplay? Enough. Cut it out. Stop acting the maggot. It's bloody horseplay and well you know it.
Right?
Horseplay? Enough.
It isn't your thing, it's roleplay.
I think
we've come to a natural end.
Watch our
tell pedophiles.
It's just apt that Dan's not here
and we'll do a camera tell everyone to stop
fucking kidding.

Became a zombie on my own in the meantime

I'm on my knees, everything that I do is for ya
I'm so emotional every time I hear your name
So if I come on a little too strong
Cause no one can make me feel like you do
No one, no one can make me feel the way you do
No one, I gotta hold my hands up to you Cause no one, no one can make me feel the way that you do
I've been feeling different, a wiser, now I'm getting older
And yes, I guess a little better in the meantime
I tried to get a medication just to curb this fever
I'm not obsessed, that said, you're taking over my mind
Something changed in me, I can feel things a little deeper
Under my skin, learning not to give it all up for ya
I need to love myself before anyone else
Cause sometimes I come on a little too strong
It's just
No one can make me feel like you do
No one, no one can make me feel the way you do
No one, I gotta hold my hands up to you Cause no one, no one can make me feel the way you do No one, I gotta hold my hands up to you
Cause no one, no one can make me feel
The way that you do
The way you do, the way you do, the way you do
The way you do, the way you do, the way you do
The way you do, the way you do, the way you do
The way you do, the way you do, the way you do The way you do, the way you do, the way you do Let's say for a second I'm not lost in your eyes
I didn't kiss you, beat myself up for the rest of the night
Dreaming you're screaming my name at the top of your lungs
You're slow-mo run to me And knowing that you also feel this too
No one can make me feel like you do No one, no one can make me feel the way you
do No one, I gotta hold my hands up to you

No one, no one can make me feel the way that you do. Thank you.
