Go, Ed. Get on me.
I'm tired, Dan.
Well, we'll get you through it.
I need someone to do a coffee run, I think.
I'd love someone to go and do a coffee run.
Harry, go and do a coffee run.
I'd love a coffee.
What's stopping you sleep?
What's stopping you?
When are you
having your last caffeine of the day um normally around two o'clock at the latest it's not it's
not a caffeine thing what it is is i get too late at night and i dark what i'm i i really just need
eight hours sleep but what i'm refusing to do is go to bed eight hours
before I have to be up.
Okay.
And that's waking you up.
No.
Because you're having bad night's sleep.
I mean, I always have bad night's sleep anyway
because I've got shoulder anxiety.
Yeah.
I need to strengthen my shoulder.
I need to get my surgery on my shoulder done
so that I, you know, start throwing jabs again.
Yeah, start fighting again. Because I do want to get ripped again this year because yeah it's a shame to have you
out of the mma scene in it well i don't want to do mma i'd like to do boxing though like just like
not like her full-on fight but i'd like to like uh do a bit of boxer size you know what i mean
i'd like to learn how to throw a punch just in case i have to ever defend a fair maiden
yeah i'd like to get back into Zumba.
Oh my God,
do you remember Zumba when he took over the world,
didn't he?
Do you remember Zumba?
Zumba is still thriving, mate.
Who made Zumba?
Because he must be
fucking minted in.
Pete Zumba.
John Zumba.
Oh, sorry, yeah.
Pete John Zumba.
The brain named him.
Fulham player.
That's great.
Great.
You think of Fabrice Moamba?
What?
It's a similar name, isn't it?
No, I reckon Peter John Zumba probably paid for Fulham at some point.
Is it a brand or is it a thing?
It's, I don't know.
I think it's like Baddies.
The pub.
The Baddies in my Zabby village.
Have you heard of these Baddies workouts?
I'm thinking they're starting to go, you know.
What?
What?
You know what Baddies is? No. No. You'm thinking of starting to go, you know. What? What? You know what Barry's is?
No.
No.
You've heard of Barry's.
What?
What?
Barry's tea.
I know Barry's tea from Ireland.
I know Zumba's still going.
I've never seen...
I've just joined a gym recently,
and there's like Zumba you can book in.
There's no Barry's.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You know what?
All this running around,
sit down, reach for the can of lager,
have a drag.
That's Barry's workout.
No, Barry's is like the hardest training regime on the planet now.
It's very big in New York, LA, London, and now Liverpool.
They're on the top of funnels.
Why have they called it Barry's?
Some fella called Barry runs it, obviously.
That's where they've made the mistake.
Barry's, New York. It's made the mistake. Barry's New York.
It's a proper thing.
Barry's Boot Camp.
Barry's Boot Camp.
It's the new Zumba.
Women love it.
Women love Barry's.
Women swear.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a really big deal.
They don't want to fuck him.
By the way, the comments are going to make you all look stupid
because it's very common and well-known,
and the fact you haven't heard about it is mad.
But you know why I'm taking the piss?
Because it sounds like...
Because it sounds like...
It does, it does.
It's just a bad name for it, isn't it?
Zumba, you think you're going to get fucked
by some Spanish guy.
Yeah, you'll learn to do it, Marjorie.
You'll learn to do it really well.
And then come to my home country.
Show me your Zumba skills
and I will make love, make love till 5am.
Yeah.
Lovely.
But I'm thinking of going to Barry's boot camp.
That doesn't sound as good.
Because I need to take my marathon training up a bit.
I need to slim down a bit, put a bit,
I want to get a bit chesty as well, you know?
I'm in that zone of my life, single man,
need to get fit as fuck, find a beard,
and then get fat again.
Yes!
That cycle.
I'm in that bit of the cycle.
You need Barry, mate.
I think Zumba would work for you.
Plus there's ladies at Zumba,
like a majority of.
Also there's a...
What have you found, Carl?
It's all over the world.
Yeah.
Australia, Qatar, Singapore, Spain, Denmark.
It's massive.
Basically Europe, UK, UAE,
from before.
Yeah, I've never heard of it. That's mad. Yeah, UAE, from before.
Yeah, I've never heard of it.
That's mad.
Yeah, maybe my algorithm's not like yours.
I see lots of dogs and shoes and some boobies.
Yeah, mainly tips. I see a lot of women who go to the gym.
You know, that's what I'm into.
Women and gyms.
Honestly, everything you're saying sounds very Zumba-y.
I think maybe Barry's is a bit of a fad.
Zumba's been around a while
so you're thinking barry's is gonna knock you out and then you'll be able to sleep
no no no oh this is a separate issue you just need walking i think the sleep thing is just
i need to be drinking less and going to sleep eight hours before i have to get up do you have
trouble falling asleep or is it um sometimes but uh i think what i need to do there to start doing
my journal again. You know?
I did three days of that
at the start of the year
and I fell off the wagon.
Ah, you know.
Apparently.
So, do you know when you have
like an anxious mind?
Do you know when you have
an anxious mind
and your brain's like,
oh, don't forget,
you've got to do this,
you've got to do this,
you've got to do this.
Right?
The reason like an anxious mind
is firing all that stuff at you
is the anxiety part of your brain
is worried you're going
to forget to do it.
But if you get out of bed
and write it down
so you've got a to-do list,
your brain goes,
he's wrote that down.
Don't worry about it.
Oh.
And stops fucking shouting it at you.
Huge fan of the to-do list.
Yeah.
All good, yeah.
I don't know if there's invoices
you write it down
and just totally forget about them.
I've got shit loads of invoices to do.
Write down,
do your invoices.
That's done.
That's done, isn't it?
There you go.
You haven't written it
down have you that's your anxiety brain oh i fucking hate it all you know there's so much to
do i don't want to do any of it you need to hire a pa to hire your pa oh fish shut up and also come

It was you, wasn't it?
Sign up for Zumba.
Barry's fitness, yeah?
Look, can you all just let me get this marathon out the way
and then I'll do the rest of it?
Oh, marathon.
That's on the list.
Marathon.
What do you mean?
It's on the to-do.
He's got to do it, so it's on the to-do list.
You can't put a marathon on a to-do list.
Yes, you can.
I mean, the level of stupid to miss the Paris marathon.
He's like, look, oh my God.
I knew, I just had a weekend free.
I had these fucking plane tickets to Paris.
Oh, I didn't go to therapy yesterday.
Therapy.
Oh yeah, you had that realization
eating a grilled cheese, didn't you, or something?
Yeah.
There's so much to it.
Why has life got so much to do. Why?
Why has life got so much to do?
Have you unpacked yet?
I did half of it last night. Can I ask you a question?
Because you don't do
a lot of the stuff you meant to do
and then it builds up.
Yeah, but I don't want to do it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How many brown letters have you got?
What?
How many brown letters?
I've opened them in my mail.
Oh, wow.
That's a good one for you.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you have moved recently, haven't you? What? If you've got any brown letters, I've opened them in mail. Oh, wow. That's a good one for you. Yeah. Yeah, but you have moved recently, haven't you?
What?
You have moved recently, haven't you?
No, I've still got access to the email.
Do you know what?
It's got easier than mail since I've moved.
I've not told anyone where I've gone.
That's made it a lot easier.
You're not lying.
Getting a lot less letters.
Sound.
Plus, I live with two other people now
and they open letters for me.
I,
yeah.
Have you got stressed out with all this?
Because we started writing a list for you
and it stressed you out,
hadn't it?
I can't tell you,
like that wasn't me acting.
That was extreme stress.
Have you paid
the Runcorn Bridge fine yet?
That's a good question.
I've got so many money.
Right,
Runcorn Bridge.
No,
I have.
Just,
for new listeners, we worked in run corn for two years basically adam went over the bridge the mercy the mercy flow in run corn i'd say i'd say he went over it
at least five or six times a week a week and just forgot to be like oh yeah that's a toll bridge
and it should sort that out so they got in touch and asked for basically the deposit for a house.
And Adam is dealing with it
by saying someone's dealing with it.
And that's it.
No, we told him it was a loyal customer
and to fix it for him.
You know what?
I love bridges,
so you shouldn't even be doing this to me.
It's going to ruin my love of bridges.
That's one of the top three bridges in the Northwest.
Right, I think that's a pretty extensive list, Adam.
One that's done by midnight.
I'll send that to you on WhatsApp, Adam.
You'll have a belt.
If you do that, I'm gonna fire you.
We'll hire you again.
I can't tell you how much it bothers me
that we have to do all this stuff just to be adults.
Yeah, but then if you did it all- Like last night- No, you'd sleep. You'd sleep, man. Like how much it bothers me that we have to do all this stuff just to be adults. Yeah.
But then if you did it all.
Like last night.
You'd sleep.
You'd sleep, man.
I know I would, but I don't want to do it.
Last night, I folded all of my T-shirts and put them away.
I shouldn't have to do anything else this year.
I genuinely believe that.
That was enough.
And next week, they'll all be dirty
and I'll have to wash them again.
And then dry them again.
And put them away again.
It's just life.
It's like sitting there shitting yourself going,
I resent having to water the toilet.
I do.
Me and Jack were talking about this.
Isn't one of the most arduous things in your life
brushing your teeth?
Yeah.
Is there any risk
That's why I do it in the shower.
than having to brush Do it in the shower. fucking teeth being in bed how long are you brushing remembering oh i gotta go and brush my teeth so that i don't stink of shit
oh not the worst thing in the world i just want to do comedy have a laugh with yous
put my dick in the occasional vagina and have a kiff. Can that not just be?
Wow.
Oh, we do.
At least one of those things needs you to brush your teeth.
Oh, maybe.
And that is a fact.
I mean, I'll put up with some bad breath
and comedy fans can't smell your breath.
Oh, I envy the Amish so much.
They have to build their own houses.
What?
They have to build their own.
Yeah, but then they get a sense of achievement
and they don't have to pay taxes.
Oh, my God.
I hate drying clothes.
Drying clothes might be genuinely worse than...
And we haven't got a dryer in the new flat.
We've got one fucking, like, drying rack
in a room where we don't put the heating on.
I put T-shirts in there last week,
like, literally eight days ago,
and I took them out last night
because they'd been in there too long
and they're still wet.
Yeah, drying clothes is the worst thing.
Hang on.
Am I meant to not kill myself?
How?
Am I meant to just go on washing clothes
and waiting months on end for them to dry?
Go with a lawn dress.
Why?
Why are we alive?
It's so pointless.
You've got people
in your house
I can understand
why you're not sleeping.
Right,
let's,
don't give me problems.
Let's give me solutions.
Laundrette.
Laundrette's great.
Ian,
never go in the laundrette.
I can't put my T-shirt
in a dryer
because the sink.
He'll spend £8,000
on new T-shirts. It's got a spinner. He'll spend £8,000 on new t-shirts.
It's got a spinner.
It's got a what?
I've got t-shirts.
They all fit me.
It's got a spinner.
You put it,
you wash it and then it spins it.
It's the wrong solution.
No, a lawn dress is one big chunk of washing.
He's never going to do it.
A tumble dryer.
No, because it shrinks your clothes.
No, there's a clothes rack
that you hang your stuff on
and you plug it in
and it's heated.
I've got one and it doesn't work.
You know what it does?
It dries lines.
It dries lines.
How cold is the room that you've got this thing in?
Is there a fucking radiator in there?
Those things just dry lines into your tops.
All of my necks are soaking all the time.
Because you can't dry the neck of a t-shirt
the only way you try it is my way of it the sleeves on a t-shirt i have not had a dry sleeve
in decades sir it is an absolute drain of life oh jack i think i might be moving back into my flat
there's more space.
There's stuff that's dry things.
It's so hard, innit?
There's so much to do.
Adam's gonna be married in six months.
Just easier.
You know, I don't necessarily really love her,
but my collars are so dry.
Do you know what's mad as well?
She gives me so much.
Having to pay someone to turn the lights on.
Isn't that mad?
What do you mean?
Like, you know?
It's working for you.
Sing, sing!
Energy bills, man.
The lamps.
I just watched the telly.
That's such a basic human right.
I had the lights on, did you?
I had a bath.
£600 a month.
Were you on a boat?
Wild.
That does my head in.
Energy bills.
I think you might need your meters checked.
There's just...
There's so much to do.
And none of it's fun.
It's all just basic stuff, though, isn't it?
It's all basic stuff.
Nothing...
So far, you've given me...
Look, you've had fucking 28 years longer than us
to get used to all this shit.
Drying T-shirts and brushing your teeth.
You've got a wife as well?
Yeah.
She doesn't brush my teeth.
I mean, I fucking
has to do.
She steadfastly refuses.
She doesn't do any of my clothes either.
What are you trying to brush it with though?
Her arsehole? Is that what you're trying to say?
No, you're trying to brush your teeth with your car.
Do you pair your socks?
Because I'm telling you right now.
Are you alright?
The idea of sitting there
on the end of my bed
with all my socks and going through one by one
and trying to pair them all to put them in my drawer.
What I've got at the minute,
so because I've still got access to my old flat at the minute,
what I did was I did a full sock wash.
Like every sock I've worn in the past month,
I took them all to my old flat, washed and dried them,
and now they're all in a washing basket. And what I should do tonight, when I've got in the past month. I took them all to my old flat, washed and dried them, and now they're all in a washing
basket. And what I should do
tonight, when I've got a bit of time,
is sit there and pair all my socks.
Am I going to do that? No!
I'm a fuck. Of course you're not! I'm going to leave them
in the washing basket, and every day
try and find a pair.
A fucking crystal maze for a matching sock.
I've got an Ikea bag. There's solutions for this.
You just buy all the same socks.
You never have to pair it up.
Dan, you're not as into fashion as me.
Sock fashion?
Socks fashion?
Yeah.
What have you got on now, babe?
Oh, you've got boots on and no one can see your socks?
Oh my God, the classy black Nike sports sock.
Yeah.
You fucking trendsetter.
Just get loads of them.
Yeah, because no one can see them today.
But like, if I've got like,
me trackies on,
if I've got like blue trackies on,
I'll wear like blue socks
if me socks are going to be showing a bit
because I think about these things.
Not like you, but your UPS hat.
Wow.
I've got a Nike, a bag full of...
By the way, that was a dig I did on myself
in the kitchen the other day.
I hadn't even noticed, but he's gone,
yeah, I'm having that for later.
You UPS-looking motherfucker.
The bag of socks and underwear,
I've got a blue IKEA bag,
and my socks and underwear stay in there,
and then I find them in the morning.
There is something satisfying about sorting stuff out as well.
Like, last night, when I finished that T-shirt drawer,
what I did was, I folded them in,
put the arms in, and then rolled them all.
Did you do it as a T-Rex?
Yes.
No, but you know you've got your arms and your T-shirts.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Flap them in.
They're soaking wet, so they stick down.
Right.
Adam loves playing T-Rex when he's doing...
And I've rolled them all, and they're all...
Like, you can see them all in my drawer,
and I can see what the designs on each one are.
Unsustainable.
I don't know, you know. You're not doing it again. It turned turned me on so it's the third time i've done this since i moved oh wow yeah i'm a new man but you don't want to
brush it no i do brush of course i brush me peggy's mate i just don't like it you start
brushing your tongue yes yeah thank you for the advice. 40 years in.
Jake, mate, just there's so much to do.
Just get similar socks and just fucking make it easy.
What?
Meditation. It's just another thing to have to do, isn't it?
If I learned how to meditate,
I've got the list you've just written.
Oh, and meditate as well while you're at it.
Also, do you know what the bad thing is?
I don't want him chilled out.
It doesn't work for us.
He hates it when I'm not laughing at myself.
I want him...
You know when I'm in a relationship and not drinking,
he hates me.
He fucking hates me.
He looks at me like, look at you,
you fucking settled down sober cunt.
He wants me single and on the ale.
You're so much more fun.
Listen, I don't care if you're in a relationship
or off the ale or on the ale.
I just like it when you're fun.
When you're on a health kick and everything's settled
and you've got your head down and you're working hard,
it's like, oh, it's business, Adam.
Oh, and it's good.
It's fine.
I want you to achieve.
I want you to achieve while being fun.
It just all becomes part of it. He's out. See you, mate. It's fine. I want you to achieve. I want you to achieve while being fun. It just all becomes part of it.
He's out.
See you, mate.
See you later.
I think he wants you on the aisle as well.
I just think there should be a point where it's just like,
I've done.
I should be able to get enough tasks done
where there's an omnipotent God who looks at it and goes,
you know what?
He's done enough for a lifetime.
The house never ends.
Oh, I thought you just
meant in general.
Like there's always
something to do,
isn't there?
You can never have a day
where you do everything.
There's always something,
isn't there?
Yeah.
It's horrible.
Washing your clothes,
doing a full-time job.
What have you got to do?
Hang on.
You live with your mum.
What have you got to do?
I've got to smoke weed
and finger me arse.
That's on the to-do list.
Same time as well.
You're going in the front way, yeah?
Would you go if you were fingering your arse?
Would you go that way?
I probably would.
I don't, but I would, yeah, I think.
When I've done that before, I'll come front.
Go in the stirrups.
Separate hand from the spliff, though.
Yeah, it makes sense. I've hand from the spliff, though. Oh, yeah, makes sense.
I've never done it.
Finger drawing also.
Tim, what have you all done today?
No, but there's just always stuff.
My car needs cleaning.
I can't be arsed.
Calm down.
How many times a day don't you do it?
By the way.
I'm saying there's always stuff in your day
that you could be like,
oh, I could do that,
and it does need doing.
Yeah, wait until you move out, son.
I did. I had a house for a few years.
Do you do washing at home?
No, the washing fairy does it. I just put it in the washing basket
and it comes back.
Your mum?
That's the one.
Yeah, I just... By the way,
you can get someone else to clean your car.
No, I know that. I know, but I'm just like...
Your mum? Yeah, she doesn't do that. I just park up and it's clean. She, I know that. I know, but I'm just like, your mum?
Yeah, she doesn't do that.
I just park up and it's clean.
She doesn't do that bit.
She does everything else.
I just, lads, none of it sounds that difficult.
It's not.
It's just the naughtiness.
Sorry to.
Sorry, I know.
It's the amount of things.
I do all this stuff.
It's irritating.
None of it's difficult to do.
It's just constant.
Yeah, constant. Juggling with two balls isn't difficult, but I don't wanna sit here and do that all day either. all this stuff it's irritating none of it's difficult to do it's just constant yeah constant
juggling with two balls
isn't difficult
but I don't want to sit here
and do that all day either
no of course
but no one wants to do it
but this is
this is the disconnect with you
you
and you know this
but you don't put this into action
you know that
if you just chip away
at all these things
in a steady fucking manner
they all get done
and they don't cause
the mayhem
that's at the end of it
if you just ignore a lot of it
and you know what if you could have come to me in 2013 and 14 and give me that piece of advice then
i'd be fine but it's gone past the point you know what it is you're done i'm gone
too much of a backlog that's when he started crossing the bridge
i've got 10 years but i love that fridge I've got admin to do
since 2013-14
you know he's a football fan
that he just remembered that
as a football season
he didn't just give me a year
yeah 13-14
fucking great season
for Liverpool
terrible for my admin

no he came second
it was the Gerrard slip
what are you eating?

chewing my tongue
he's eating a bounty like a paedophile What are you eating? Nothing. Chewing my tongue.
He's eating a bounty like a paedophile.
Carl's gone fucking mad today.
Calm down, Carl.
It's a bounty.
Bounties are great.
Why have you just started snacking on a bounty?
I wasn't talking.
You all talked to me when I was eating.
I was cleaning the clear.
On the pod where you're the presenter? Nervous fuck. You all started talking to me. I was eating. I was cleaning the clear. On the pod where you're the presenter? And that's just for
your dad talking to me?
I'm just over here
having me little lunch time.
Do you know what?
He starts asking me questions.
A very high-paced chat.
I'm the director of the company
and I can't just stop for no reason
and have a fucking half a bounty.
There's another thing.
It's a fucking joke.
You got any bounties
and have people being up your ass?
Bounties are great, by the way, and people who don't like them are trying to be cool. Damn you have any bounties? You don't have people being up your ass? Bounties are great, by the way.
And people who don't like them are trying to be cool.
Dan versus food.
Bounties.
Yes.
No.
People who you're trying to be cool by pretending you like it.
And here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
I'll give you a slight little olive branch.
I don't mind a bounty.
If I have a bounty in my mouth, I'm not like,
fuck no.
I'm not like that.
You wouldn't put it in your mouth if you did, right? I don't mind. I wouldn't mind a bounty. If I have a bounty in my mouth, I'm not like, fuck no. I'm not like that.
You wouldn't put it in your mouth if you did.
I don't mind.
I wouldn't choose a bounty.
I don't mind.
You have chosen a bounty.
Over on Mars.
That's all we've got in here right now.
Right.
But like,
I'm having a little coconutty surprise in my mouth.
I'm all for it.
Exactly.
But you being like,
oh no,
I like bounties.
That's you trying to be cool.
People who say they don't like,
it is.
And you do it all the time with everything. You always want to be cool. People who say they don't like, it is. And you do it all the time with everything.
You always want to be cool.
I like a bounty.
It's a fun side.
You're trying to be cool.
You're trying to be different.
Okay?
Do you like a bounty, Jack?
No, fuck off.
Don't be on my side there.
You're trying to be like, I'm too cool for you lot.
You leave bounties in your tubs of celebrations, do you?
Well, I'll just hoover up all the bounties because I'm a big cool monster. I eat bounties before the Milky
Ways. You're a fucking idiot
then.
You're trying to be interesting
and you're not.
Milky Way buttons. Just a bounty link.
Stars, magic stars.
Oh, mate. Heavy. Freezing cold, though.
Oh, bosh. They sound like they
should have drugs in them Don't they A proper crunchy
We could make that happen
The Milky Way Magic Stars
Should we make that happen
Yeah
Yeah
Oh crunchy bites as well
When I was a kid
And I watched my mum
Drink like two bottles of vodka a day
You're trying to be cool mum
That's what you were saying
Oh
No one likes vodka
She was like
Adam I don't want to drink
I want to eat bounties
Fuck off you hipster
I just like I used to look at heries. Fuck off, you hipster.
I just like, I used to look at her and be like,
why are you doing that when you know it's fucking bad?
And now I'm just like, how does anyone know?
How does anyone know?
Just nail so much ale every day.
And she had two kids. And it just turns your brain off.
Imagine if you had two kids as well.
Oh my God.
Oh, that is up there with some of the bleakest shit
that's ever been said on this.
Knowing what happened to your mum.
You know what?
I miss her a lot, but I can see why she made those choices.
I can.
I can.
She had a lot of trauma.
And on top of that, she had me and our Jack.
And our Jack's a cunt as well.
And she had to put up with the fucking pain of us.
She had to bath us.
Oh, get in the bath, will you?
I don't want to get in the bath. Get in the fucking bath.
Okay? You've got school tomorrow. You need a fucking
wash, you stupid fat cunt. Get in there.
Have your tea. She did the
tea and the dishes every day.
She's washing the fucking uniforms every
day. She's cleaning the house every
day. Mumma want a drink. She'd make us a
drink and give us a drink. She had to do all that
shit on top of that to-do list
that I've got to do.
How dare anyone judge her for being like,
do you know what?
I want two bottles of vodka and two cans of Diet Coke.
She deserved it.
Wow.
Was that the ratio of vodka to mixer?
Did she have the same list?
Because Barry's fitness is on there.
I'm not 100% sure.
She had to pay Matthew from Juicy.
She also wasn't very good at...
The Paris Marathon.
Or paying invoices or getting my bear the spa day.
I done me list this bloody big.
I've been to the Paris Marathon.
I'll say this about Anrel.
Never did the Paris Marathon. She had say this about Anrel. Never did the Paris Marathon.
She had her critics, but...
Oh, God.
Yeah, being an adult's hard.
It's not even hard.
It's just annoying.
It's annoying.
There's too much of it,
and I just need some of it to stop.
And everything costs £600.
Right, everything.
Let's get you a PA.
Come on, let's get you a PA.
And then... Let's get a boy PA. Let's get a's get you a pa come on let's get you a pa and then and let's get a boy pa
let's get a man to be your pa and let's wow let's get you a cleaner a cleaner a gay one

I'm into it.
I think we can help.
John Blanchard, Gayfield.
Cars had crack today. That was for Harry.
It's all the bounties.
It's overdosed on bounties.
It's in those bounties.
Get you a man PA
and you won't want to kiss them.
By the way,
there's a porn star
who overdosed
over the weekend.
Emily Willis.
She's alive.
One of my goats, actually.
Is she?
No.
Yeah, she's in a bad way now.
Yeah, so good luck, girl.
I think I missed something.
Carl was doing an obscure football reference.
No wrestling.
Oh, wrestling.
And so this is what we went from.
A gay PA to, yep,
one of my favorite porn stars OD'd at the weekend.
And that made absolute sense in my head.
Sort your life out, Adam.
Try and get it all together.
I've just had a thought about a porn star who's just died.
Dead?
No, she's not dead.
No, not dead.
Oh, dead, dead.
She's not dead.
Also, porn star related news.
Lisa Rann got chucked out of a Matt Rife gig.
For trying to suck people off?
Yeah.
Something like that.
I didn't read the rest of it.
It was something about that.
She just had a phone out.
Yeah.
Did she?
Right.
And they were doing the,
your phone's got to be in the bag,
like at Zany's.
Was it Zany's?
Where were you?
Was it Zany's, yeah.
Oh shit, yeah.
No, sorry.
That's what,
I don't know if it was.
It was at a New York comedy club.
They did, yeah.
I mean,
and Chappelle.
Yeah.
Is Lisa around the like...
Big tits.
She's like...
Let's point that way though.
She's like the Michael Jordan of porn.
Right.
She shouldn't be doing it anymore.
Yeah.
Why?
I don't think she does.
How does she stop?
Why don't you think she should be doing it anymore?
I know someone who's lashed out as well.
Yeah.
We've met someone who's bummed it.
Why don't you think she's... Because she's just older. I know someone who's lashed out as well. Yeah, we've met someone who's bummed her. Why don't you think
she's because she's just older?
I just don't find her attractive.
What do you mean?
Well, no, that's fine.
It means he doesn't find her attractive.
Yeah, but I mean,
why does that mean
she can't be doing it anymore?
What's the shelf life
of a porn star?
If you can last
into your old age,
I suppose it's like
there's less competition in it
because a lot of people have got...
She's probably like 28.
She's retired.
She's 51.
She shouldn't be
doing it anymore.
You can't be getting
wellied on the telly
at 51.
Wellied on the telly.
51.
Come on.
Why?
Will I get wellied
on the telly
What do you mean?
I want to get to the
barbie bar.
When I'm 51.
She's in great nick at 51.
Why can't she get some D for, like, dollar?
I've just looked at her career,
and she did a bit of a Fergie, as in Alex Ferguson,
so she quit in 1997 due to an AIDS scare,
but then out of the game she was a bit bored,
so she came back to the game.
Can I just ask, what have you heard about Sir Alex Ferguson and AIDS?
You got an AIDS game?
I heard that he retired in 2001 because he was scared about AIDS in the dressing room
and then came back a few months later because he was bored.
And then the Invincibles happened.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
I don't think 51's too old if you're in great shape
and you're making dollar.
Plus, it's like a subsection, isn't it?
So she's the queen of a subsection.
Not for her, not for us.
Not for her.
She needs to stop for her.
But some people are in it for the love of the game, Cal.
I don't think she is.
She's retired.
She's good.
She came out of retirement twice.
She did 2018 to 2020 as well.
Tom Brady. It's Tom Brady. Wow. good oh shit she came out of retirement twice she did 2018 to 2020 as well tom brady it's tom brady
wow so another thing i think 51 is too old isn't it annoying that like everything that you want to
eat makes you fat sorry yeah all the nice stuff yeah yeah like last night that is annoying last
night we had a lovely pork chop in breadcrumbs,
seeded breadcrumbs, and these lovely potatoes and a load of pickles.
And I knew the pork was bad for me as I was eating it.
It was so tasty and delicious.
Like two nights ago, I was a bit hungover.
So I went to the chippy and I got salt and pepper ribs,
loads of char siu fried rice and loads of curry sauce
and a portion of spring rolls.
So unbelievably delicious.
So nice.
And then,
have you tried to eat
like a salad
and like
just smile through it
and just be like,
oh no,
I actually,
I've become a bit of a salad guy
and I fucking lie to myself
every time I'm eating it.
If there's a God,
if there is a God,
do you believe in God?
If there is a God,
he's a fucking arsehole,
isn't he?
Like,
he's tormenting you.
Yeah.
Like, oh, all these things you really want
to make you fat and die earlier and unhappy?
Why can't lemon meringue pie be like two calories?
That'd be so nice.
Kanye West once said,
why everything that's supposed to be bad
make me feel so good.
And I adhere to that.
Celery's fucking horrible.
And it's expensive.
It's the most expensive thing.
Fruit and veg.
If you do a fruit and veg shop.
That's not true.
A fruit and veg shop is so expensive
compared to like,
I'm going to get pizza for tea.
What are you talking about?
You get a pizza for a quid.
It's not, yeah.
You want to get a nice salad.
You're going to spend more than a quid.
Do you want to get a nice pizza?
It's more than a quid.
But you can definitely get, go and get pizza and chips from Tesco and spend the a quid. Do you want to get a nice pizza? It's more than a quid. But you can definitely get,
go and get pizza and chips from Tesco and spend a fiver.
But if you want to make yourself a nice, healthy tea,
you're spending more than five pounds.
Fact. Factos.
Fuck you, guys.
Have you ever bought strawberries?
They are expensive now.
Everything's gone mad expensive with that.
Yeah, but you get a cheap shitty tea.
Brexit.
God fucking... Are you going to be alright? Shall we have a little break so you can have a little calm down? Everything's gone mad expensive with that. Yeah, but you get a cheap shitty tea. God.
Are you going to be alright?
Shall we have a little break so you can have a little calm down?
It's been fun watching you rage against the machine, but...
Just calm.
Yeah, I'll fuck you up.
Do what you tell me.
I need a coffee.
Let's get Adam a coffee.
And we are back.
Smooth.
I'm no less calm.
Okay. You seem calm, though. no less calm. Okay.
You seem calm, though.
You seem calm.
You seem...
You love the prep all the time, so...
Let's see how this goes.
Yeah.
Let the lids take the wheel.
Carl, it's your time for the jingle.
We've got a...
Done?
Question?
Oh, sorry.
This is from...
Finn, you've got to look at me as well sorry we've got a question
this is from leah mead wag wag lids i have a question what's something daft that you believed
for far too long i have two my dad told me when i was younger that the cat's eyes on the roads
were braille for drivers who are blind and i believed this until i mentioned
it in my freshers week trying to be interesting to my new housemates a bonus one i did ballet
growing up and thought that the leotard that i wore was because my name is leah so i went around
adding tard to the end of all the other girls names and she was had to have a quiet chat with
the instructor i love your rebecca tard yeah and we also we had someone
else right in as well separately who it was a similar topic shane said i thought geese were
male swans until i was 25 i mean they are really aren't they hang on what i know. I thought my pet budgie had flown away
and came back and left a feather for me
until I was like 16.
And I asked my mum to confirm that story
in front of a friend of mine.
And she was like, no, the budgie killed itself
by plucking all her own feathers out.
And we just told you that story
because it was less bleak.
I think the fact that she was halfway through her second bottle of vodka
that day probably really made her tell the truth.
Second can of Diet Coke.
My dad to this day believes that Jesus was a space alien.
My mum thinks that as well.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
If you think about the story, it makes sense.
There was a light in the sky
and it was like, flash.
And then, baby.
I've told you my grandad won.
My grandad said I wasn't allowed to sit in the front seat
until I was 16 in the car.
And I still believe that.
I don't know if that's true or not.
Do you have to be 16 to sit in the front?
No.
Because he could act like a cool grandad,
like you can sit in the front? No. No. Because he could act like cool grandad like you can sit in the front.
I'm cool.
Yeah.
With a booster seat?
Up until a certain age
and then
if the police came past
I'd have to hide.
At 16 with a booster seat?
I'd have to hide
if the police came past.
Maddy was proper
like he went for it
like
is that not true now?
No.
My dad used to tell me
that I've heard
he told me that there was
a turbo button on his car.
Yeah.
I'm sure I've told you this as well.
Revenant.
And it was just the heater.
And I'd press it and then he'd just rev the car.
Every time I pressed it.
My dad's car's walking past.
You must have ones with the kids.
It's a Ford Escort.
Surely you must have ones.
What, where you lie to kids?
You don't lie to your kids, yeah.
I lie to all children.
No, yeah, I do. I lie to, kids yeah i lie to all children no um yeah i do i like them yeah of course like it's literally part of parenting isn't it if etta asked the time and
i wanted to she goes i'm like it's bedtime she's like no it's not what time is it like if it's dark
outside you you're not reading the time i've got the watch on it's any time i fucking
want you're just trusting that that's actually the time and i'm just trusting i mean i'm just
going on the numbers that are there but it could be a conspiracy can't you read the time
you what what age do you learn the time she probably should uh she should be able to read
the time now he's keeping it away from her that's my dad that's belter never teach your kids the
time that's why the summer's a fucking nightmare.
Because you're like, it's bedtime.
And she's like, dickhead, the sun's out.
Yeah, but that's because you've spent all winter going,
it's bedtime because the sun's gone away.
Yeah.
You've made a rod for your own back there. Yeah.
What you need to say is, it's bedtime,
because Stone Cold said so.
Yeah, that's the bottom line.
It's bedtime because I fucking say so.
I was told Red Bull was alcoholic.
Because you don't want to give kids Red Bull, but I wanted one because of the adverts. She's like, you can't, it's alcohol, I fucking say so. I was told Red Bull was alcoholic because you don't want to give kids Red Bull,
but I wanted one because of the adverts.
She's like, you can't, it's alcohol, you're not allowed.
Believe that.
Baby Bells wasn't allowed then.
Far too expensive.
Wanted them because of the advert.
They're alcohol.
They used to hang them off the thing in the quickie,
like the easy buys, and I'd grab one.
She's like, you can't, they they're too expensive and I never got a baby
and then I had one
when I was older
and it tastes like shit
so she was right
yeah my dad thinks
Jesus was a space alien
and he also thinks
that all humans
might be aliens
and that we
inhabited this planet
from elsewhere
what
I mean yeah
it's an interesting
it's an interesting
theory isn't it
because there's a big gap, isn't there?
It went dinosaurs, humans,
and everyone's like,
what happened in the middle?
We came here,
blew a few fucking T-Rex's heads off
and built co-ops.
Does he say a lot of these theories
to other people,
or is it just you?
He doesn't really speak to anyone but me.
Even that's rare.
You've made some gaps as well
at other moments, yeah.
What?
T-dexes
blow their heads off
co-ops
is that your dad or you
that's me
Adam sit down
I'm worried about
we're all aliens
we came down
bummed a few T-dex
there's a gap
that's a chicken isn't it

kind of bullshit is why don't you do some fun stuff why don't you start lying to jack now
about laura's name she's bev yeah bev my name bev give laura a different name and then when he's older

Just say Laura as your mum word.
Right.
That's what you call your wife.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Laura's wife in your language.
Laura's just another word for babe.

She's a funny kid. You could get it on
board. Right. My niece still believes in
Father Christmas and she
is going into year six
and I think that's too old.
I don't think you should be able to get to year
I think you should get to year seven to believe in Father Christmas.
Yeah, high school. So she needs to find out in the next year, doesn't she?
Wow.
It'll be quite a bold uncle move to be like,
do you know what?
I'm taking her out.
We're going for Pizza Express.
I'm going to have a little chat with her.
It's for an uncle.
Guess what, kid?
Yeah, finish your garlic dough, bud.
No, I think you just let them find out.
You don't have to pull them aside and tell them anything.
No, I'm not going to tell her,
but I think she needs to know.
No, definitely don't tell her.
Year seven, you can't be believing
in that
you can't be in big school
going
Santa's coming
why
no way
what
why
she's magical innit
you get called
Santa bastard for years
that's what we do
no
Santa bastard
you need to be done
with that shit
because I get a Christmas present
what does she think
is happening there
you've got to be very careful
about doing the because our neighbour did some banter with Et shit because i get a christmas present what does she think is happening there you got to be very careful about doing the because uh our neighbor did some banter with
etta because he's got a big gray beard and she was like you look like father christmas
and he went well father christmas isn't real and laura i think he caught laura on the at the wrong
point punches that's bad she was so annoyed about that and you're like because at the time
she was five you're like don because at the time she was five.
You're like,
don't do that banter with a five-year-old.
Let her have the magic.
But I know what you mean.
When she's 10,
I reckon we need a little bit more street smart
than like,
yeah, it's magical, isn't it?
Nah, you let your kids believe
until they don't believe anymore.
But what if she's-
If they come home from school and go,
everyone's telling me Father Christmas isn't real.
You go, well, they're fucking lying.
Okay, go and ask your ma.
Bev!
Bev!
Put your A-levels tomorrow.
No, she needs to know.
Yeah, I suppose, because at what point...
Why?
What?
Why?
Because all the kids are going to think you're fucking soft.
You need to be street smart in big school.
Yeah.
All the kids are going to be like, are you all right?
Also, what are the other kids at this...
I don't know your niece then, like she's very she's a very um she's a very innocent um she's also the youngest in a year because of
the months i know so she's very supportive class that no one's gone oh no bad i'm guessing she's
not the only one right but she's a she's a very uh she's a very sweet she's not like these kids
these days we're all doing all kinds she's a very sweet age and I don't want to ruin it,
but I don't want to get to year seven
and be like,
Father Christmas got me
this new pair of shoes.
You're worried that she's going to get
fucking picked on at high school?
She won't,
but I'm saying I think
you should be a bit more street smart.
So what?
Well, if you're not worried about it,
oh.
Yeah.
You just don't want to do that.
Because I get a Christmas present
and I got her them.
She knows that.
What does she think happens there?
Father Christmas dropped them at yours by mistake. Surely that's what you tell her. No. No. I FaceTimed her presents and i i got them she knows that what does she think happens there father christmas
dropped them at yours by mistake surely that's what you tell her no no i facetimed it and
they thought i said you like these shoes i'll get you them for christmas and she's like yeah
boss them when i get my niece christmas presents i say father christmas dropped them at mine
and told me to bring it to you oh we we don't do that the presents under the tree at christmas
morning they're from father christmas we've done the magic with the bit of soot
from the log burner and everything.
But every other present, people bring round.
So they're just like,
yeah, that's from your grandma and that's from...
Yeah, me, Uncle Carl.
Like I don't...
When Finn gave Etta and Jack presents at Christmas,
I didn't be like, yeah,
Father Christmas is not concentrating.
He's left these at a 25-year-old in real.
He just thought you might be staying over.
I know it does sound weird, doesn't it?
Yeah, yeah, but he's fucked up.
So Finn brought them round.
And Father Christmas is good because he's got receipts.
So it's sound.
I don't remember being upset.
I think that's all right.
A little bit of wiggle room with that.
Yeah.
I don't remember being upset when I found out, though.
It's not like a memory.
Going on.
But you raised them, didn't you?
The world's falling apart.
It wasn't allowed in my house.
So you weren't going to be upset?
All old magical men are not allowed in my house.
Even at this age.
What?
No magical old men are allowed in my house.
Gandalf knocks on your door.
Yeah, he can knock and I can let him in.
David Blaine.
Yeah.
Knock. But if I come down, David Blaine and Gandalf playing FIFA in the front room, he can knock and I can let him in. David Blaine. Yeah, knock.
But if I come down,
David Blaine and Gandalf playing FIFA in the front room,
I'm telling them to leave.
They've broken in.
No, you're not.
Father Christmas has broken in.
You're telling me you walk downstairs,
Gandalf in character,
and David Blaine are playing FIFA.
You'll go, immediately, get out.
Sir Ian McKellen.
Off you go, sir.
Phone the fucking police.
No, I've said this before.
I don't want old men in my house in my sleep.
I mean, Esa's got that anyway,
but he doesn't want another one.
Fair enough.
I'll try.
Love lying to kids.
Did you believe anything as a kid, Dan?
Did what?
Did you believe in anything silly as a kid?
No, I was a nihilist even as a five-year-old.
Also, the Father Christmas thing.
Who's Niall?
Niall Quinn.
He's my Jesus.
Mate, you play a long ball up to him,
tell me he's not the second coming of Christ.
Unreal.
Peter Crouch.
No, thank you.
I used to try and power up like they did in Dragon Ball Z.
Nearly burst a couple of blood vessels
doing that
what
you ever seen
Dragon Ball Z
you used to go
so what they would
do is
they'd clench
their fists
and like
scream and
squeeze
and they would
become super sane
he just didn't
know he had it
they'd become
super sane which would make them more powerful and had it. They've become super sane,
which would make them more powerful
and be able to punch people's heads in.
And I used to do that
and then beat the shit out of our Jack.
The first eight-year-old
to give himself an aneurysm.
Yeah, Adam's fitting again.
He's Dragon Ball Z-ing.
I can show you what I used to do
because it'll be that easy
to find on TikTok.
I don't know if I did all that.
Like, the root over and all that um dragon ball z power up okay
so i'd do this right the audio listeners there's a video on oh
i just saw you do that in the first section there's a video
watch now you can't even see it
but watch now
you can punch his head in
you see
really helps
it's like you're showing
your mum something
you watch on the telly
yeah
wow
I got banned from
watching Dragon Ball Z
because I wouldn't
stop beating our jack up
I used to do
wrestling moves
that was real
wasn't it
so
a lot like Dragon Ball Z
we used to
Thundercats was the one
what did you do
what kid called neil edelston came out of uh for break at primary school every start of every break
and pretended to be lionel thunder thunder thunder cat at one he never got bullied at what age
uh year six so we really are hoping it's gonna get out right here um yeah it's
just it's not it's not cool i believed that i was the reason michael jackson died you told us this
before remind us what it was i think i told you off pod though okay um i was in a choir in year
six and we sang michael jackson you are not alone at the theater you played in year six and we sang Michael Jackson.
You are not alone at the theater.
You played in real.
Yeah.
Um,
we played that and I had a solo and you are not alone.
I believe he died the morning.
I woke the morning after I woke up and he died.
And my brother went,
that's cause you were shit at singing.
And I was like,
did you then try and kill anyone else?
I'm still trying.
He's been trying to kill himself for years.
Oh, mate.
Is that why you don't sing your own songs?
That is unbelievable.
Big brother shithousery, that, innit?
Oh, I'm a bit worried.
Yeah, yeah, it was you.
Should have sung better.
You did it.
It's also, this isn't what I believed,
but I kind of just had a
mistaken identity
for years I
thought Tim Westwood
and Clint Eastwood
were the same
person for until
I was like 15 or
16
I can see that
15 or 16
yeah
I thought Clint
Eastwood was doing
Pimp My Ride and
Westwood
I just used to
get the names like
interchangeably wrong
do you know what I mean
I'd love
Clint Eastwood
to be more involved
in UK rap
isn't it mad
that Clint Eastwood
stars in westerns
and Tim Westwood
is from the east end of London
that's a bit that
nearly
the first bit was good
Clint Westwood
would be well better
wouldn't he
right if you believed anything
I like that if you believed anything silly
as a kid or something you just believed
for too long write it in haveawordpod at gmail.com
we've got an old feature
that we're bringing back for this one week only
we've got underrated overrated
one of the best jingles.
Not done this for a while.
This first one is from Steph Coleman.
Underrated, Overrated, the travelators at airport.
Everyone goes at them, but I swear that they're slower than walking.
What is she talking about?
She's just going to keep walking on them. We've got to walk on it?
These lazy cunts that get on and just stand.
Just keep walking, you big fat twat.
They're slower than walking.
Yeah, they probably are slower than walking.
You just stood on it.
They're called travelators.
You're meant to travel on it.
You get on it and you keep walking
and you smoke everyone who's on the other side.
Yeah, she's stupid.
She's a dickhead, eh?
Do you know how fast you can walk on them?
They go...
And then you stop and get on another one.
Pet peeve, when people on a travelator get on it
and there's a family and they've got bags
and they just stop and go,
cool, why would anyone need to get past us?
Because we know how to use a fucking travelator.
Get on one side.
I love a travelator.
Do you know what?
It's so sad when they're not working, though.
No, the worst is when you step on an escalator
and they're not working and your knees break.
Like your legs go, you don't know how to walk anymore.
You forget how to walk downstairs.
Mate, escalators are awful to climb
when they're not working.
Your brain doesn't know what to do.
They're just,
they're just weirdly too high
or something.
but you,
it's like your brain expects you to move
and you don't
and you go like,
oh,
you feel heavier.
You know,
I've noticed it's worse
when the other side's working.
Your brain can't compute
what's going on.
Oh,
on an escalator,
have you ever done that
when you don't walk on an escalator
but the thing
for the hand
is moving slightly faster. It's just a weird annoyance when you don't walk on an escalator, but the thing for the hand is moving slightly faster.
It's just a weird annoyance when you're like,
oh, just going to get to the top.
And this just gradually goes too fast.
So your arm pulls.
I love that.
I don't know why that's so weird.
What?
How can that be moving faster?
Sometimes it moves slower as well.
Sometimes the band on the thing,
they're not always the same.
So they move quicker than the actual escalators.
I love doing that.
It stretches me out.
Yeah, I always find that weirdly annoying.
I'll foreplay for you.
Adam doesn't believe that it's ever happened.
Sometimes they're slower and that's annoying as well.
Oh, really?
And it goes down.
Yeah.
Right, next one.
Duncan Sharp.
Cup cup lids.
Quick one for you.
Parking on double yellow lines.
What do you reckon?
Overrated or underrated?
As in like the thrill, I think he means.
Of either risking it.
I haven't missed this feature.
No.
That doesn't, that causes me too much stress from the off.
But yesterday, when we parked in that thing that was 30 minutes
and we were there for two hours, then you feel like you've...
If I can see my car, I'm okay, though.
Because they give you a little grace period, like five minutes.
Yeah, they stand by it like fucking little parking nonces.
Yeah, so if I can move it.
But I wouldn't park on WL and leave it
because I'm coming back to like 14 tickets.
Do you remember that day when me and you just followed
some parking attendant trying to boo in them?
Yeah, you shouldn't bother
that really, should you?
How old were we?
We were definitely in our 20s.
We were?
Yeah.
Was it pre-pod?
Pre-pod, right.
Yeah, it was about 21, 22.
I mean, it all...
We were shopping
and we got bored
and we seen one
and started booing him
and he got really pissed off
and told us to fuck off.
So then we just kept sort of like,
we knew where he was going
and just kept following him
and we just went,
boo!
It's true. Like, I'm talking like not long ago like three or four hours not long ago not long enough ago for 231 two two year old man this is the guy that hates doing admin i can't i
can't do all these jobs i've got three or four hours of following a traffic, jamming around booing.
They are cunts though.
Boo!
I still do it now.
I drive past them in the car.
I literally go, boo!
Just for me.
They are dead annoying, but without them, you'd be boned.
You'd be so screwed.
If everyone just wazzed cars everywhere, it'd be worse.
You can be the wazzer.
What?
If everyone's wazzing, you're wazzing. There's more more spots but it's chaos it'd just be chaos as everyone's just parking wherever they
want and causing traffic like they're annoying as fuck of course they are it's a traffic warden
but they're a necessary evil aren't they i don't know about that no i don't i don't know that i
agree yeah and also they all look like gimps yeah Yeah. I'm not disagreeing with that. But without them, if there was no one throwing tickets around
and everyone could just park everywhere,
it would be a shit show.
Who applies for that job, though?
Yeah, that's what I always think, mate.
Okay, fair enough.
I'm going to be a traffic warden.
I need a job.
Well, I could go and, you know, do this.
I don't know what I want to do.
I just want to go and give people parking tickets
for just trying to get on with their lives. That's what I want to do. None of them go and give people parking tickets for just trying to get on
with their lives
that's what I want to do
none of them drive
an invisible fucking cunt
with a ponytail
yeah
and none of them drive
not a single
traffic warden's got a car
how do you know
because you can tell
you'll get the bus to work
right
not that that's a bad thing
but they look like
ponytail bus fellas
and you know
apart from the fucking cunts I ate on the bus you know what i mean
yeah i've got ponytails as well and glasses and big fat heads i think we've seen the same one
yesterday probably yeah oh yeah what's the double reds is that like red yeah when it's double red
lines is that no stopping that's like literally like double yellow, don't park here. But double red's like
will kill you.
I think double red
is just the same
as double yellow.
It's just a colour choice
in some places.
No stopping
at any time.
That's not right.
That's not right.
It's usually outside
like a school
or a hospital or something.
And we've got like
mad ziggies in there.
No stopping at any time
with the red.
Right, next one.
Colour choice,
make it blue.
You won't even know.
Cam white. it's all boring
these yellows it's like a purple cam white says underrated or overrated the swiss what the fuck
do they even do swiss are we doing a whole nationality nationality nation do they bring
i like roger feather and he's genuinely the one who makes me like them so i think he's doing a
lot for them yeah i like zaydan shakiri so bit of a murky history in it with switzerland in it
they were like there was a war but we're surrounded by mountains so why don't we just
stay out of it and when the nazis were like you know what we need to hide this gold somewhere
do you reckon you could help out yeah and they were like where did you get the gold
let's not talk about this we just happen to have a lot of extra gold you know somewhere. Do you reckon you could help out? And they were like, where did you get the gold?
Let's not talk about this. We just happen to have a lot of extra
gold. Fillings,
glasses, jewels.
War profiteering, basically the Swiss, aren't they?
They made
Lindor though.
In my eyes.
Never been, man.
Never been. I'm just accusing them of war
atrocities. Have you not been skiing in of war atrocities there's no been men
in Switzerland
no there's no taxis
you've not been skiing
in Switzerland
I thought that would
have been something
you'd done
that sounds like
posh skiing to me
oh is it
there's like
the French Alps
that's for fucking
is skiing not all posh
well everyone thinks
skiing is all posh
and then there's more
expensive versions of it
but there's cheaper
places to ski go on skiing in the French. But there's cheaper places to ski.
Go on skiing in the Flinch Alps.
There's cheaper,
there's cheaper,
I reckon Switzerland sounds like pricey.
You go on a weekend, John.
Yeah?
In the Flinch Alps.
With me skis
and me 11 kids.
That's me.
That's what I do.
Roger Federer is genuinely
pulling our country up.
When he dies,
they're fucked.
What a sportsman.
One of my greatest regrets
is not seeing him in the flesh.
Same.
Messi at the
new camp feather at wimbledon i'll never forgive myself for not just doing it yeah couldn't give
two fucks about tennis but he's very seemed like a nice guy as well did he yeah he's graceful
he's a beautiful tennis player you want to fuck roger federer i would mate ever sportsman he's
up there yeah um right uh Next one from Shane Smithers.
Underrated or overrated?
Tortilla wraps.
I think they make every food better.
You can put any food in a wrap and it makes it better.
Well, that's just absolute bollocks, isn't it?
You can't put a butty in a wrap.
What, a butty in a wrap?
You can't put a burger in a wrap.
Burger buns are better than wraps.
Ooh.
That's close, that, I think.
What, for burgers?
No, for burgers.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
He's saying a tortilla wrap will be better than a burger bun.
Yeah, you can't put a burger in a wrap.
You're free.
I do like a wrap.
Like, he's talking shite.
They're rated fine.
They're good for certain things,
and they're bad for everything else.
Everything they're used for, traditionally, they're good for, and everything else, dog shit, and that's what they're good for certain things and they're bad for everything else. Everything they're used for traditionally, they're good for.
And everything else, dog shit.
I'm not having my cornflakes in a wrap.
No?
No.
I reckon Adam's got a point.
I don't think you're a wrapsman though, are you?
I am.
I like my Nando's in a wrap.
Do you like a burrito?
Do you know what?
I've never tried.
Let me press smooth.
I've never tried a burrito.
Smooth.
We've got you one.
Wow. God. It's like a new. It's Dan versus food, never tried a burrito. Smooth. We've got you one. Wow.
God.
It's like a new.
It's Dan versus food, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, let me just remember to turn this stuff off.
Do you know what's in a burrito?
The Cholula as well.
Oh, shit.
It's a burrito.
Oh, nice.
Could have gone to a little more effort there, Steve.
I'm not going to lie to you.
Poor Steve.
Fucking running around the city centre buying food.
There you go, lad.
Let's introduce it.
Yeah, it's coming for you.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome...
Oh, let's cover that.
Dan.
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome back to another episode of Dan vs Food.
Dan is a 42-year-old man with food phobias
and every week we make him try a food that he's never tried before for your view and pleasure. This week, the burrito. of Dan versus food. Dan is a 42-year-old man with food phobias,
and every week we make him try a food that he's never tried before,
for your view and pleasure.
This week, the burrito.
Apart from those weeks where everyone forgets.
I'm going to move them bottles
so we can see the burrito.
Oh, yeah.
The hot sauce, of course.
Tell me what a burrito is.
It's a wrap that's full of rice and beans and chicken.
And, yeah.
It's just a lovely
Mexican, a classic
Mexican dish. You just want to have a nice big mouthful
make sure you get a bit of everything in. That looks very
sweaty. It looks like
a Nando's wrap that I
don't want.
You take the fillings out of.
You've got to take a big bite and get, because there's so much.
What's our predictions? Do you think we'll...
I think you'll like it. A bit of avocado in there as well. Oh, avocado. I there's so much. What's our predictions? Do you think we'll... I think you'll like it.
A bit of avocado in there as well.
Oh, avocado.
I grew up eating avocado.
What's an avocado?
Avocado is just like a... Is that guacamole?
It's like a butter veg.
Is that guacamole avocado?
Oh, God.
So sloppy.

Oh.
Oh, De Niro's out.
Oh.
What are we saying?
Is it busy?
Oh, the beans.
Very plasticky smell it's tasting, aren't they?
No.
A bit.
It's a weird taste.
Stop eating the crisps.
You know you like crisps.
Come on, give us a rating.
I don't like it.
You're not scared of it, are you?
Do you like rice?
No, that's a good point, actually.
That's a good distinction.
There you go.
Do you know what?
When I was young...
Scared the bleetles.
When my mum realised that I hated food,
that's why I ended up eating a cheese toastie
and a plate of fruit.
I didn't really love cheese toasties,
but she went,
oh, you can eat it, can't you?
And I was like, yeah, but I don't...
I was like, I don't like it.
She was like, yeah, but yeah, but you can eat it.
This is the same.
I could eat this. I just wouldn't't like it. She was like, yeah, but you can eat it. This is the same. I could eat this.
I just wouldn't choose to.
What do you think?
Phobia rating and a proper rating.
Phobia.
Phobia rating, six.
Actual real life, three.
There you go.
I love it.
Hope you enjoyed that.

You were just saying that you don't like fucking
your missus when she's hyperactive.
Thank God.
I genuinely thought you were talking about your kid then.
Cause that's a relief that it's the missus, Jesus Christ.
I didn't say that.
No, but you didn't make it sound like a kid.
She gets all wild. She gets overtired. Cause we're talking about tantrum and the't say that. No, but you didn't make it sound like a kitchen. She gets all wild.
She gets over tired.
Cause we're talking about tantrum and the baby thing.
And then, then you start to-
Have you ever met a woman?
No, actually this is,
that's one of my things I've never met a woman.
I'm hoping to.
And you always say it by the ear.
And I was like,
did everyone do the same joke at the same time?
That is everyone.
That's six for six.
No women here.
We said Adam's getting over tired
and he's getting all like...
Basically, I haven't had enough sleep
and the coffee hasn't affected me.
Our lovely Harold has gone to get us a coffee now
to hopefully pick me up.
But knowing a little baby is just over fucking tired
and they start acting out,
that's how I feel right now.
I said before bed, Seneca.
And then Carl said,
and that's when I fuck him.
No.
I said Seneca gets like bitey and like, not annoying.
Why would that not be like sex time?
It's not sexy bitey.
It's like, give me an arm and I'm going to hurt you.
Because you're getting all over me.
That is sex biting now.
Hurt me.
I want to be hurt.
Carl, is everything all right with Seneca?
She gets tired.
You finish the bill.
You're tired.
And then she just fucking nibbles you.
She goes, come here.
Does Laura not get overtired and
start like acting up be like naughty and then you like the kinky stuff that's your
vibe right you love it piss on me bite me punch me in the air who are you talking about him or me

That's how I approach.
It's just hoof it up.
Get the job done.
I'm like an SAI SWAT team.
I'm in and out.
That sounds like I'm nailing it.
No, it's just more.
I can get a job done in 45 seconds.
Route one.
Yeah.
Bin Laden's been killed immediately.
That's mad though.
You don't even know I was there.
You know, I'm getting the chopper out.
That's our problem actually. Yeah. To be honest. Yeah. That's mad though. You don't even know I was there. You know, I'm getting the chopper out. That's our problem actually.

You like dressing up and stuff as well, right?
That's kind of your, what's your favorite character?

Or maybe avatar for the blue guys.
If a girl has got, like, there was a girl the other day
that I matched with on the app.
Purely, like, I didn't even look at her face
just because she was dressed in a cowgirl outfit.
Like the tied sort of, like a shirt that's been tied.
Did she have udders or?
No.
Was that a woman?
She did mate, yeah.
You know what I mean?
And a short denim short and a cowgirl hat.
But you like cowboy stuff to your thing as well.
Woo!
That's a double whammy.
Cowboy tennis player.
You shouldn't ever combine it,
but if a lady did and put that on an app.
Any sort of fancy dress does it for me.
As long as they're not trying to look scary.
Like if they're looking a little tiny.
Anything that's a hint towards sexy.
Yeah, like Michael Jackson thriller.
That outfit.
That would get you going.
Screen mask?
What?
Screen mask?
No. What about a green screen onesie?
Yeah.
That's a tricky one.
Yeah.
No, but they're quite tight to the body, aren't they?
You're seeing all the contours of a lady's-
Paw Patrol.
Figure.
Anything?
Just any fancy dress.
Peppa Pig.
A shoe.
If it's done in the right way,
I can get on board with Peppa Pig.
George.
But would you need a narrative to get you going?
No, I often skip right to the middle of the story.
So is it just,
you're just having sex with someone normally,
they're just dressed up.
You don't need a backstory, a context.
I can't deal with the fakery.
I can't have her coming in and going,
well, howdy, my man, I'm a little cowgirl.
Did you want to fuck me at Christmas?
What?
I wish Tessa's Peppa Pig had a Christmas party.
I don't know that Christmas song.
You want to fuck me at Christmas?
Because that wasn't...
No.
I hope not.
Because you haven't got good enough udders.
Yeah, anything like that, yeah.
That's a little kink.
So you don't need the character...
So once the costume's on,
she's like, Adam, I'm a fucking cowgirl.
Bum my head off.
You don't need like, yee-haw.
There's no script development.
Yeah, she'd keep the same voice.
You don't like any voice.
The artifice of sex does my head in.
And I know that sounds mad.
What?
Wonderful.
Do you know someone being so over the top?
Like, I fucking blew.
So the noise is?
Calm down, girl. I'm not into that. like someone being so over the top, like I fucking knew. So the noises. What?
Calm down, girl.
I'm not into that.
Like, look, just like we both know
what's about to happen.
Oh, pussy.
You don't want the porny noises.
You want it to be as close to like caveman.
I want to know she's having a good time.
Sure.
You know?
Just with a thumbs up occasionally.
Fucking belt in that.
Yeah.
So tennis costume on. Not even like, I've just been to fucking Wimbledon. you know just with a thumbs up occasionally yeah so tennis
tennis costume on
not even like
not even like
I've just been to
fucking Wimbledon
me lad
just one fucking
two sets to one
yeah because I know
she hasn't
we've just got back
from Asda
do you know what I mean
oh
which is the sexiest
of all the times
isn't it
once you get back
from Asda
you make a weird
little selection
of food for lunch
and then you bum her head off fact get the costume on what have you come back from Asda, you make a weird little selection of food for lunch and then you bum a red off.
In fact, get the costume on.
What have you come as?
A Asda delivery driver?
You're taking the piss.
I know you all are.
But genuinely, that would ruin it for me
if she was like,
I just got back from Wimbledon.
I'd be like, you haven't?
We've been fucking in Sefton Park
all day feeding the ducks.
So what does the fancy dress do then?
It just looks good.
I'm going to break it down
to the simplest form.
He likes girls in short skirts
and that's it.
Yeah.
It's not just short skirts.
So if she wore jeans.
Yeah.
Like a girl in jeans
and a cowgat
like looking all country.
That's like it.
She's dressed up
and she's made an effie.
I think I just like effie.
No, but you don't like effie?
High court judge. You don't like if you wear long
gerets? No, that's not what I mean.
I mean effers for the things that I like.
Get dressed. I love you.
Look at her wearing jeans. High class
lady. Take me to Asda
and then you're going to get your fucking head bummed in.
She got dressed. She made an effie.
Sexy bitch.
Like jeans are sort of Western attire, Dan.
Yes, they are.
They absolutely are.
But you've never done anything.
You've done Sean Dice 442.
But have you never had a girl go,
Horatio, I want to try something different.
Well, it happened once at uni.
I had a run-in with a local. Mauricio, I want to try something different. Well, it happened once at uni,
I had a run-in with a local.
I went to uni in the Amazonian forest.
No, I went to uni in Warwick and at a house party at my house,
a local had come in.
A Coventry local.
And so this all happened-
Because it's not Warwick, is it?
I've never been to Warwick in my life.
It's Coventry.
They don't want to say that
because you wouldn't come otherwise.
And I didn't come that night, actually.
Yes, you would.
Coventry's wonderful.
Is that a big demo?
No, I got an email.
So there's a video of me on the internet
promoting my tour saying,
I'm going to all the best places.
I'm not going to any shitholes, though, like Coventry.
However, since then, we have added Coventry.
Oh, I see.
And I did get an email.
Well, I didn't get an email.
Jack got an email. From the mayor of Coventry. From Coventry this week saying, why is Adam being rude added Coventry. Oh, I see. And I did get an email. Well, I didn't get an email. Jack got an email.
From the mayor of Coventry.
From Coventry this week saying,
why is Adam being rude to Coventry?
Oh, fuck.
You're getting to the size now
where you can get mayors getting pissed off
what you're saying.
That is annoying.
It was actually the girl that you fucked.
Because I'm slagging off Coventry all the time.
No one gives a fuck.
It's a local broken.
Well, yeah.
And then it happened within 15 minutes.
She said, do you want to go up to your room and have sex?
What the fuck?
This is from start to finish.
So I meet her on the dance floor in my living room at uni.
The dance floor?
So we're having a house party.
So we'd moved all the sofas back.
It was like a after party at uni.
Right.
So we don't have a dance floor.
I haven't been to a party where they make a dance floor in the house.
That's it.
Okay.
So we just moved all the sofas back.
You've been to a party where people have been dancing. They didn't have a dance floor in our house. I've never been to a party where they make a dance floor in the house. That's it. Okay. So we just move all the sofas back. You've been to a party where people have been dancing.
Yeah.
I didn't have a separate dance floor room.
If you say, where's Dan?
You don't say the dance floor.
You say the living room.
How big was the house?
It was not that big.
And he was talking about his house.
Yeah.
Where's your dance floor?
It's the kitchen, isn't it?
It's usually the kitchen.
Yeah.
And then we went up to my room and she immediately wanted me to like punch her.
And I was really, I wasn't giving it enough.
She was telling me to hit her more
than she was trying to get me to like fist her.
And I wasn't into it.
15 minutes?
Well, this is from start to finish.
So this is from meeting her, going up to the room,
being forced to fist her, really like not into it at all.
Was she homeless? Yeah, and here's the thing. I don't think you can be unenthusiastic about fisting like not into it at all.
Was she homeless?
Yeah, and here's the thing,
I don't think you can be unenthusiastic about fisting.
No, not at all.
I think also being like, I was like,
kind of like Hugh, imagine Hugh Grant fisting.
Like fisting's gotta be a bit,
can't be like you're trying to knead bread.
Oh, sorry, no, is this right?
Oh Christ, oh Jesus.
Tell me if I hurt you, oh Christ.
Oh Christ, you're like a married girl, Jesus.
And then- That's a fast 15 minutes in it i said i'm not into this uh and then i'm not into it i never never saw her again yeah it was
that and that all happened and i then uh my friend who hadn't seen me for 15 minutes said how are you
and i said you won't believe what's just fucking happened mate christ and also no one else saw us
i don't know if i was just having a fever dream and this is just some fucked up thing, but Christ.
Imagine if I hadn't seen you for 15 minutes,
I was like, I just fisted someone.
Yeah, it was really weird.
I hope it wasn't just a neighbor
coming around to complain about the noise.
And you were so pissed, you were like,
all right, I'll take upstairs.
Or maybe it was a Marigold.
And then I just imagined it all, you know.
I had a woman, I'm sure I've told you this before.
She repeatedly asked me to slap her harder, across the face.
And on the third or fourth go, I give it.
It's a tough choice there, you know.
How hard do you go?
She was like, do it properly.
And I was like, and she's like, fucking properly.
And she was like, oh, come on.
And I proper went for it.
And then she went oh fuck off
she slapped me back
Novak Djokovic
top thin
I had ringing in my ears
for two weeks
yeah she said
you've been tangoed
and got off
well she counter punched
what
she counter punched
she belted me
and I hadn't asked for that
oh I see
did she move out
the way of that
and she was a local
exactly
what outfit
was she wearing
dressed as Donald Trump
I don't know what was that she was in local. Exactly. What outfit was she wearing? Dressed as Donald Trump. I don't know what was that.
She was in her fucking Beatty suit, mate.
That's a worry though, isn't it?
That they go, hit me.
Nah, hit me harder.
Again.
More.
And then they go, fucking hell.
That's too far.
I'd want written consent before that.
It's always sexy, isn't it?
Getting a non-disclosure agreement out before you bomb.
If you say come upstairs and punch me,
I don't know, you're going to have to do a video
where you say you want this.
What's up in Matthew going,
I need a contract drawing up.
It's like it's already in your inbox.
It's been never three days.
I knew she was coming.
I'm not doing that without any like,
I don't know, some kind of video or whatever
that she wants me to batter her.
Oh, in case she goes to the police afterwards.
Yeah.
I mean, that looks like a hostage video though.
I want him to batter me. I mean, that looks like a hostage video, though. If you're like saying, I want him to back to me.
I honestly think that video is more incriminating.
It's a horrendous video.
It would be under duress, wouldn't it?
No, you're laughing.
Bovey is like,
Go on, tell me.
Do the video saying you consent.
Laugh more.
Great.
Now let's have sex. It's like when the Joker's recording a feather upside down in The Dark Knight. Greatugh more. Great. Now let's have sex.
It's like when the Joker's recording her feather upside down
in The Dark Knight.
Great, great, great scene.
The dogs like it as well.
Never do Batman references
with the dogs.
They're fucking mental.
I'm not punching anyone's head.
I'm not them.
Someone else knowing
they want to.
Do you not punch
Sarah's head in?
No.
Not even when she's
overtired and nibbling you?
I want to.
Get off me. No, I'm not punching anybody in the sex. No. Not even when she's overtired and nibbling you? I want to.
No, I'm not punching anybody in the sex place.
I think my happy juice is here.
It is.
I'll coffee him up.
Beautiful.
You're right with that, Horatio.
I'm fine with that.
Do you want a coffee, Horatio?
I'm all good, thanks.
I've got this liquid death.
Very disappointing. No, it's nondescript., thanks. I've got this liquid death. Very disappointing.
No, it's nondescript.
Tin water, actually.
Amazing.
You haven't paid us.
Did you start in a comedy at uni,
or did you start later on?
You ever done King Gong?
Yes, I did.
King Gong.
Funny you should ask that, actually.
This guy.
He knows I was on a podcast.
Have you ever done King Gong?
yeah I did it once how'd it go?
I got gonged off
after four and a half minutes
because someone in the
Manchester Comedy Store
shouted Gerrard
in a really Scouse accent
so he went
Gerrard
and I went
and Roger Munghouse went
that wasn't fucking good enough
and he gonged me off
oh he did it
so it wasn't the audience
it was just
no but I was the third Scouser on that night and the first two had been gonged me off. Oh, he did it, so it wasn't the audience, it was just-
No, but I was the third scouser on that night
and the first to have been gonged off for being scouse.
So I think they'd sort of got over it.
Oh, I see, yeah.
By the time-
I don't think the Manchester one,
is the Manchester one as bad as the London one?
It wasn't for a while.
And then I think they were like,
you know what, this isn't like the London one enough.
So I think they were like,
cause that's the whole thing with King Kong.
If you've never heard of us talk about the comedy stores like very very first gig you apply
for is king gong you're trying for five minutes there's three cards up if three cards go there's
a gong and you're gone it's the most brutal gig in the world i don't know why we have a next level
it's crazy it's and i did they invent the idea of because americans weren't doing gong shows like
that they've got kill tony now but i think it's quite a british invention it's a real the gong shows and
and i think an old tv show isn't it oh really yeah where you well this kind of gladiatorial thing
yeah at the comedy store king gong where it is it makes you really feel like it's undignified
enough at times bombing as a comedian but given the audience more chances just to i felt like a
medieval peasant in the stocks being chucked with tomatoes you know 100 and if the crowd if there's
three good acts in a row by the fourth one the crowd are like come on yeah what are we here for
so you are sort of it's a tricky gig because most gigs if you're good you'll do all right and if
you shit you'll be gone but there is there's things that come into play with a gong show like exactly like are you going on after two scouses are you a woman that
might off immediately right yeah i've seen people get gonged off for walking on weird like this is
what this is what i was trying to talk about so i do king gong i've never done it before i go on
first joke fine second joke not fine third joke bombs I'm out in 40 seconds obviously
go out like this every time a gong show just give it these going out two acts after me a man
with yeah severe down syndrome I guess is the best way of saying it severe down syndrome that's
the only way down syndrome not diet down syndrome the full bone down syndrome okay
um and crutches comes on the stage right and i've never seen a dance he's dancing and he's
broke his legs oh no i don't i don't think it was broken legs i think that was it was part of the
package deal um and so you sure it was down syndrome and not one of the other ones polio
no it was i think he had down syndrome but other ones. Polio? No, it was...
I think he had Down syndrome,
but he might have had something else as well.
I think it was a lot of things going on.
Okay.
Did a polo at him?
Hasn't polio gone?
No, so he's been dropped.
I think so.
Like smallpox.
There was a vaccine for it.
Yeah.
Back in the day.
It was the original.
Are you going to take it?
You know?
I always remember
a man came to fix my washing machine in mum's house when I was little and to get in the day, it was the original, are you going to take it? You know? I always remember,
a man came to fix my washing machine in mum's house when I was little.
And to get on the floor,
he just like threw his legs to the side
and sat down.
And I went, mum,
what's wrong with that man?
She went, he's got polio.
And that's all I know about polio.
What do you mean full blown or diet polio?
Polio zero.
Fucking producers. Go on horatio this guy comes to the stage so he hobbles to the stage all right that's just descriptive and someone this i've never seen anything like this before someone
shouts disabled cunt all right this is the worst thing i've ever heard in my life this is horrendous
i'm like what are we doing this is awful that is a ball and then he's coming out he's now shaking he's terrified and then people start booing him
and he gets gonged off it's the worst thing i've ever seen i cannot believe it all right
and then i'm leaving because this is horrendous and he's outside having a go at the bouncer saying
i've never been treated this badly in my life this is awful and the bouncer has no interest in it i've never seen anyone worsely treated in my life and then he sees me and he says look mate i have no way of getting back
i've just i've come down here on my own he'd come from durham on the megabus because basically
he just typed in comedy gigs london he just thought it was a normal gig because that's what
happens when you type it on google the first thing that comes up is london king gone so he just thought it was going to be like an open mic he happens when you type it on Google. The first thing that comes up is London King Kong.
So he just thought it was going to be like an open mic.
He's come on his own on a mega bus down from Durham to do this one gig.
So then in this weird night,
I had to basically carry him down the stairs at Oxford Circus tube station
and get him on the bus back.
And this whole thing took about two and a half hours.
At one point as well,
he started slagging off my set and I was like,
lad,
Oh Christ, no, I'm helping you. I was,. And I was like, lad, oh, you know, Christ.
No, I'm helping you.
I was doing a good deed, but Christ, you know.
I've got some notes.
Yeah, exactly.
And then we're getting, we're at Victoria Coach Station. This is about, at this point, it's about one in the morning.
So I'm waiting with him to try and get the last mega bus back.
And there's no ramp to get onto the bus.
And then he starts screaming at the driver.
And still, I can't believe how badly these people are treating
this guy with Down syndrome, right?
And finally they get him on
and the driver says he does this every week,
which was a weird sign.
I didn't really understand what that meant.
You mean the guy that you were helping does it every week?
Yeah.
Not that he's just like, I'm always a driver.
No, he wasn't saying that.
I'm just...
Yeah, he dropped it. I do this every week., I'm always a driver. No, he wasn't saying that. I'm just... Yeah, he chopped it.
I do this every week.
So I give him my number.
And to be honest, I just started in comedy
and my friends from uni hadn't moved to London yet.
And so I kind of became like sort of pen pals
with this guy for the next kind of three or four months.
This kind of weird thing where we'd like call and chat.
What's his name?
I don't want to say because I don't know if he's still gigging um but i do know it um and then this is where it starts taking a weird turn so i'm speaking to him we're getting on and we're
getting on we're like we're making each other laugh like we're developing quite a friendship
and i'm thinking to be honest i'm feeling like this is quite a good deed that I've done in many ways um and then he says something which I in retrospect I should have maybe been more I don't
know litigious I don't know he said that basically Remembrance Sunday was coming up right and he was
saying that he was going to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph because of his work for charities for people who are in with disabilities and he
says he needs someone to push his wheelchair during rembrandt sunday sorry and so he said
would it like would you like to do it and i guess i didn't really think much about it because i'm
like the idea that none of my friends know i'm i have this friend and the idea that they're watching
no i'm i have this friend and the idea that they're watching remember it's sunday and there's like me pushing a guy with down syndrome with one of those you know uh the wreaths and he also said
we're going to meet the queen so there'd be a like a dinner afterwards we meet the queen and i was i
just didn't really think about because i just really wanted to i thought this would be an
incredible experience you know um but then slowly more and more he kept taking things away he was saying like okay we're
not going to meet the queen you know queen's off the table yeah and then he kept cancelling
you know things and it just didn't all add up and i realized he'd been lying to me the whole time
and before you know i'm shouting at this guy because he's really hurt my feelings
and that's when you're shouting at a guy with down
syndrome for lying to you that's when you're like you know what maybe this this good deed i feel
i'm in too deep with this one i feel and i've never told anyone that story before
because i don't know how i feel about it morally but i just when did you last speak to him
after that after i was shouting at him for lying to me and i was like hang on a minute what am i doing this is insane and then i so it was probably four and a half years ago
it was right at the beginning of comedy um so yeah king gong was one of the weirdest gigs of my life
anyway any weird gig stories with you guys
a lot of people try and get laid after gigs. Nope. Not your style, Horatio.
No, pen pal, four months to set down syndrome.
That's my style.
That's how I like it.
That sounds like a fucking brutal night at the comedy store.
It was awful.
I've never seen anything like it.
I mean, that's not, the comedy store is not,
that must be a bit of an anomaly.
Yeah.
Like really, that kind of crowd.
I know they're rough.
I don't know.
I know they're rough.
I haven't gone back there since.
I don't know. I love King Kong. Haven't haven't gone back there since. I don't know.
I love King Kong.
Haven't you hosted it?
You've hosted it, haven't you?
Oh, I see, yeah.
Twice.
It's well in my wheelhouse to host it like that.
Yeah, be audible.
Yeah, but like you also, you've got to,
when you host it, you've got to keep it on the tracks
because it has to be my show.
Yeah, you're introducing these.
It's the Compares show.
Yeah.
And you have to keep
proper control over it
because if the audience
get too much control of it
it just descends
into absolute nonsense
because the audience
think they want it
to be worse than they do
like they go
baying for blood
and they're like
oh this is going to be
fucking horrible
this is great
but if it's actually
just the audience
cutting everybody off
it's just a horrific show
yeah it becomes
dead men walking
we had a gong show years ago,
me and Adam.
One of the first things
we did together.
A gong show.
Yeah.
And you have a little gong show,
don't you?
That you made?
I did, yeah.
Got me banned
from the comedy store
for 20 years.
Did it?
Yeah.
But we've sorted that out.
Adam helped me sort that out
just as I stopped gigging
on the circuit.
Why did he get you back just literally
every turn with the comedy store and i still love to gig there i'd like to do shows there
yeah it's just it's just been one of those clubs right from the off that every time i've tried to
make it work there's just been like something's gone wrong there's been a disagreement or well
i started something called beat the frog which was oh i see obviously a photocopy of what
they were doing at the yeah at the comedy store but i was like it's similar but they won't mind
it's an old tv show they did mind i see um and then i just thought they just didn't give me
work for ages when and then a couple of years ago they basically softened on it spoke to adam
and it was all sorted out
and I've gigged for them
a couple of times
in Manchester
but just on a Tuesday
the weekend venue
for the comedy store
is gone
the old
Manchester comedy store
is no more
they've got a gig
on a Saturday
and I'm also
not gigging on the circuit
as much
so it's all just been
very frustrating
have you ever been
in the London comedy store?
I've never
been in the comedy Store in London.
That's insane, isn't it?
I know.
So as we're having this conversation,
I'd still like to.
Because it feels weird that I've been a stand-up for so long
and never...
I feel like a footballer that's not played at like...
You haven't done all the side quests.
Old Trafford or like the Emirates or something.
I don't know.
It's just a weird one.
Yeah, that is weird.
I totally know what you mean.
When the knights on the other side of it,
when the crowd all turn up to those knights
and they're too nice,
that doesn't work either.
No, you need a bit of...
Because everyone's just doing five minutes
and you're almost like...
You feel like a cunt when you're sort of willing people...
That doesn't happen at that one, though.
No.
I think British people just love it though.
I think there's something about,
there's that tall poppy syndrome thing.
They love someone trying something
and then you have the chance to just tear them down.
And if someone's being too nice with their card,
the audience will shout, get the fucking cards up.
Yeah.
Like it's...
But it's such an insane human experience being gonged off.
Like it's already an insane thing to
do stand-up comedy standing on stage in front of loads of people trying to make them laugh but the
idea when that first card goes up just that feeling in your head knowing that you're gonna
get thrown off watching comics react yeah to the first card going up because they it's like a pitch
right well there's a card up so what i better do now is speak so quickly that no one can understand yeah yeah yeah yeah
oh i used to give props to anyone who survived two cards up and like you'd see a five minute set
the second card this didn't happen very often like a minute and a half in the second card would go up
and in the frog that's not a big room you the cards were only ever on the floor because i couldn't see
the balcony so the cards were close so they'd be able to do what three and a half four minutes with two cards up i'd give them props for that i
might you might not win but that is proper comedy yeah to be able to go really on the edge this is
really not going well i like as much as it sounds brutal i think as a comic you need to be able to
survive that sort of shit i know it's not the be all and end all but there are going to be gigs
that are absolutely horrific soul destroying they're going to feel hard work
and you can't take it too personally you've got to be able to go well that was dog shit and it's
got to make you go but i want to do better next time rather than go i can't it's definitely the
most psychotic part though i think being gonged off that feeling of bombing and being thrown off
that's when it's just like you realize how yeah you are to this. Yeah, at the Frog, we started playing Beck, I'm a loser.
Hey.
I'm a loser, baby.
What happens if you win
with your five minutes
and then you haven't got
another five minutes?
What do you mean?
Don't you have to do
another five minutes at the end
or am I making that up?
Is that an envy thing?
Clearly making that up.
I know I've heard of nights
that have tried to do
something like that.
So what he's thinking of is
when Hot Water first started in the nightclub,
they had the Sunday open mic night, which was their original show.
And then the first show they ever added to their roster was Friday night
and they called it Whose Headline Is It Anyway?
And there would be a comic who did 15 minutes and opened the show
and got paid like 50 quid.
And there'd be a break and three comics in the middle
would do 10 minutes each. And then there'd be a break and three comics in the middle would do 10 minutes each.
And then there'd be a clap off
in the third section for those three.
And the winner would have to do another 10 minutes,
but they got paid 100 quid
for winning and headlining.

My last ever Beat the Frog
is on our Patreon.
The last dance it's called.
Yeah.
Well, the whole show.
Yeah. Or just your set. A lot of it in it we cut out some of the sets yeah because some of it was actual people's
material like i called in favors from mates we had mates of ours some of the newer acts that
were doing it at the time some pro comics got gonged off oh that's great that's nice i like
that have you seen russell hicks's king gong set off oh that's great that's nice i like that have you
seen russell hicks's king gong set it's one of the greatest five minutes of all time i think it's
still on his youtube you know how he improvises all the shows he goes on last so he's 25th he
goes on does russell hicks completely improvised and he wins the whole thing and it's one of the
most unbelievable five minutes i've ever seen to go on at the end of king gong with no material
and just absolutely demolish it's just incredible seen to go on at the end of king gong with no material and
just absolutely demolish it's just incredible was he brand new at the time i don't know how
long he'd been going because that's like no he moved over here after having stars in america i
think no i love some of his clips man he's a phony guy but improvising at king gong no material he
doesn't improvise every i've seen some brilliant russell hicks clips where it's clearly stand up
but he tries to avoid material as much as he can.
Like he's all, he tries to do,
he has a couple of things he goes back into,
but he hates doing it.
Well, then his ability to observe
and work through an idea on the,
because some of those clips that Russell,
if you don't know who we're talking about,
go and find Russell Hicks.
It's a very funny comic.
American guy living in london
my favorite man i just thought i just thought they were just stand-up clips yeah mad that's
why you can do so many clips because it's every show is completely different he's by far he's the
only mc that i've seen people like not like because he's too he's too funny and everyone
else bombs really that you'd kill too hard as an mc and then no one else can keep that up because
that's what russell does just oh yeah it's bad mc you know in it i always felt like everyone should be ripping
it because the audience don't even know what i'm saying is when you're trying to fuck people up
it's not your fault if you're ripping yeah i i just don't think it's anyone's job to not do as
well as they can yeah like got a rise to it you know yeah there is a way of mc and selfishly
though yeah definitely doing over your time and like yeah yeah but that's not what he's talking as well as they can. Yeah. You've got to rise to it. There is a way of emceeing selfishly though.
Yeah, definitely.
Doing over your time and like...
Yeah, yeah, but that's not what he's talking about.
Just murdering and then going,
right, here's your first act.
I remember you saying,
if that's in the room,
like if he can do it,
then anyone's able to do it
because it's there.
A hundred percent.
So why aren't you doing it if he is?
If he used to hate following Paul Smith,
when he'd do his gym joke
and he'd do his gym routine,
which was about 12 to 15 minutes long.
Yeah.
And then he'd bring the middle act on
and it was on the weekends of hot water.
People would just like really struggle
to follow him doing this routine.
And I was at a similar level
to people who were doing those middle spots,
but because it was hot water,
I was always opening or closing.
And then you'd hear little bitchyy, like bits of the circuit going,
fucking hell,
do in the middle of hot water on a Friday or a Saturday
is like really hard
because you've got to follow Paul Smith
doing his gym routine.
And it was just like,
yeah, but just fucking ride the wave,
like go on and fucking follow it.
Like, and if you can't,
then you're not ready anyway, so.
And also Paul doesn't scupper the route.
He's been doing it for what 10 years
he knows how to get them rolling he's not a selfish compare he's not doing it to scupper
anything he's not doing no just to be clear though this was 10 15 years ago 10 years ago yeah
it was a very peter k used to compare the frog we are talking back in the d's here this is before i
ever gigged he'd already gone from the circuit
and he used to compare in a way that was like,
he'd be doing 35.
Would you gig with him?
No, he'd gone.
He was already so well known.
So when did Top of the Tower come out?
99?
I reckon he was probably gone from the circuit.
98, 99.
Didn't he write in his autobiography
that he's never bombed or something?
Am I getting that wrong?
I wouldn't be surprised. I don't see. like his first gig was so you think you're funny right he won so you think you're funny just and those he was young and he like
there was a time when johnny vegas peter k the frog was just chris addison like their bills on
a weekend they've still got them and then some names that we know like young alex boardman and whatnot but he used to do 35 40 and then bring an act on and found a um a lion suit
and came on in a lion suit yeah and started smoking he just did the pissed off lion
but he'd do it for like 25 30 and then bring on a nervous and then you're over micah so don't get
me wrong it's fucking magic and
apparently the frog you couldn't get a ticket for love the money it was like standing room only
because they just had a golden generation by the time i got there i got stage time real quick
because it wasn't the golden generation it all moved on and got tv and stuff but it is like that
apparently that was brutal to follow. Because going-
But he made it hard on purpose, didn't he?
Yeah.
Apparently.
Allegedly.
Apparently.
Like you hear some weird stories about P.E.K.
that might not be true.
It's like, who knows?
But I've heard a lot of them about rapping the mic
round the mic stand.
Really?
Which is, if you ever go to a band like venue and they've got comedy on
that's what they think they you want they're like oh bands are used to this so they wrap it around
and it's such a fucking pain for a comic that's quite funny apparently again this might just be
someone conting him off who didn't like him but yeah a a comic went up to the owner of the frog
and went you can't have him compare he's too good yeah and the owner of the frog and went, you can't have him compare.
He's too good.
And the owner of the frog, Dave, just went,
fuck off and never booked him again.
Because if it's just that he's too good,
then you need to be better.
Like if you're doing way too long and you're making it difficult on purpose,
that's a different thing.
But what anyone bitching about Paul doing,
which is exactly how much time you're meant to do
in the middle section,
especially when people are coming to see Paul, just match it and rip it yeah for sure uh you're doing
loads of other stuff as well as you stand upon you for sure i mean we're all massive uh fin
cells we're all big finn taylor fans and you're you're definitely have a word and film as the
internet i think there's a lot of crossover i think the kind of fans of these two shows it's it's the it's one of the very best things on the internet and you help
produce and write that yeah it's basically it was just me finn and vittorio certainly for the first
two series which is weird having no one to say no like i'm i'm suggesting jokes to finn and i'm
begging him not to do them it's really i for people before and I'll suggest a crazy joke and they'll go,
I can't do it.
You suggest a crazy joke to Finn, he'll take it.
And I'll be like, no, no, no, no.
Seriously, this will come back and haunt me.
But he never gets in trouble.
It's quite amazing how Finn just can...
Because some people, it's like Jess on it.
Yeah.
He's like, yeah, this is what I do.
Why are you watching that?
Yeah, that's true.
It's just, yeah. And he's very, very good at it. He's also very good at it, yeah, this is what I do. Why are you watching that? Yeah, that's true. It's just, yeah.
And he's very, very good at it.
He's also very good at it,
which I think people don't really-
It's kind of undeniably quite funny, I think, a lot of it.
Yeah.
And if you don't like it,
that's the thing with people who don't like the show,
I completely respect it.
It's just a very, it's like a taste thing.
It's like liking spicy food, you know?
Finn versus the internet.
This is, there's many compliments you can give it,
but we started doing this and filming it and putting clips out i think we were pretty much the first
podcast in the uk to go we'll do an american style one and definitely instead of it just being audio
we'll make a little studio and obviously that was my spare room and then it was run corn it was here
and it's been it's been it's been the inspiration for a lot of other podcasts you've got 25 people working
but there's a lot of other podcasts now that look like this and when people do what uh josh pew or
alistair green do i've seen a load of other comic i haven't seen anyone even attempt to plagiarize
or rip off finn versus the internet it's almost like they've gone oh that's good isn't it i
wouldn't even know how to start i wouldn't know how to start to be fair i write on the show and i wouldn't know how to start like i don't know anyone i would not be
able to do what finn does i just don't his balls of steel to do that sort of stuff but we get we
get called out for like ripping off like 10 different shows in the comments because people
don't realize it's basically a genre which is like those sort of interviews i've seen people
saying it's like between two fans with zach. Eric Andre show, Caleb Presley,
Norm MacDonald.
Like they accuse us of everything,
but it's just a genre
that hasn't really been done
in the UK properly yet.
Go and watch it.
Let's have a break.
Interval.
Hello, everyone.
Come on.
I'm not doing it anymore.
I know.
I'm not a fucking dancing monkey
for you, mate.
Part four of four, ladies and gentlemen.
A correspondence.
Horatio.
Yes, mate.
We let the people do the work for us.
La correspondence.
We've got some confessions to start us off.
Whoa.
Oh, shit.
Where are we in?
Fuck him out.
It's the radio, isn't it? I'm not Oh, shit. What are they in? Fuck them out. It's the radio, isn't it?
I'm not giving a shit.
I'm straight in.
Raw dog on us with the confession speech.
Whoa.
Oh.
Not too much.
Why isn't there dogs or johnnies?
Someone definitely makes them.
Dog johnnies?
Yeah.
I'd be amazed if it's not a thing.
Surely not.
What are you talking about?
Just feels like something that someone would have created
for like in Japan or something.
Yeah.
You put a condom on a dog, you need to go to prison.
One minute, I'm Googling it.
Oh.
There is dog condoms.
Male wraps.
That was the...
Disposable male wraps.
Who's putting them on?
Who's putting them on and when?
It's for incontinent dogs.
Yeah, then...
No, there is actually.
Animal Instinct's pet condoms.
Put them...
What are you talking about?
That is a trap.
When you buy them, they get you the dress,
they go on a rest jet, easy.
If you don't want your dog to breed...
Then you get his balls cut off.
Do you get it neutered?
That does seem extreme.
You don't teach him about the fucking...
That is extreme, innit?
The birds and the bees do.
Yeah, come here, son.
Put this on your cock. Now go and fuck whoever you like. Teach him to pull up. Does it seem extreme. You don't teach them about the fucking... That is extreme, innit? The birds and the bees do. Yeah, come here, son. Put this on your cock.
Now go and fuck whoever you like.
Teach them to pull up.
Does it seem extreme?
I know...
I've never owned a dog.
And they're beautiful creatures.
But to take something's balls...
I know it's a necessity.
It just feels rough, doesn't it?
They can't be trusted with their balls.
They can't use them responsibly.
So you've got to take them away.
Is it not chemical castration?
It isn't physical, is it?
Don't they just make it so they can't
no they cut the balls off
do they actually lose the testic?
I always thought it was like neutering
as in like to
are you all thinking of rapists?
yeah
do rapists get neutered?
what?
do rapists get neutered?
rapists get chemically castrated don't they?
they used to but then
you're always thinking
when you're thinking dogs
you're thinking rapists.
Yeah.
Because you're a rapist person.
Dog condoms are.
He's always walking.
Yeah, like, that was...
For people who were convicted of rape,
they would, like,
chemically castrate them
so they didn't have the edge
to fuck anymore.
I see.
They used to physically castrate them,
but that wasn't helping
because you were still getting the edge,
but you didn't have a dick.
They're like a dog with no dick.
Confessions.
Just start the jingle again shall we
anyway uh this first one's from joe johnson confession all right lids please keep this
anonymous i've been a home worker since covid and it's all been bliss until recently when my
girlfriend has been expecting me to do jobs around the house during my working hours nope i don't
mind the odd thing but our time at work is monitored and it gets me in shit sometimes yeah uh recently i decided to hire a tiny office space about six miles away from home
and right near my gym six miles away tiny and right near my gym and go there to work i've told
her we've been called back to the office and have my usual rant about how annoying it is when really
it's just to get out of housework during the day it's quiet peaceful and i've even got a little blow-up couch for my break times do i deserve penance or have i smashed
it cheers absolutely smashed it she sounds like a fucking nightmare yeah i agree i have the same
sort of thing i because i work from home and my girlfriend refuses to treat what i do as a real
job sometimes do you ever feel that because i'm writing cock jokes
so then it's like were you happy with this and i'm like i kind of would like to be if i had a
real job you wouldn't be asking me this i'm halfway through a cock job exactly i'm literally
halfway as i'm an artist at work can you please give me some respect casso would not be treated
like this so i completely agree your girlfriend's quite creative as well she is she should be that
means she's not that busy do Do you know what I mean?
That's what I'd say.
She's got, yeah, too creative, to be honest.
I'd love her to have a real job.
That'd be nice.
One of us.
Yeah.
I could work on homilidons.
This is going to go very wrong.
Why is it going to go wrong?
It's brilliant.
And there is no, I don't,
I'm not putting any penance on this.
For me, no penance.
Creative.
It's good.
It's going to end up with something's going wrong.
I love it.
I think it's very well done. But it will cause a load of shit eventually
when she bumps into someone who works for you
or works with you or something.
It's going to fall around your fucking head.
But enjoy the time you've got.
But surely if she's reasonable,
she will understand.
When that happens,
she will understand that this is all her fault.
She doesn't sound reasonable though, to be fair.
Well, if she's not reasonable,
then you're not going to be asked when she breaks up with you.
If she kicks off about it and she's like,
well, you did this because you didn't want to clean the toilet.
And you're like, yeah, I did, yeah.
She's the reason he's there. He doesn't want to be there. He wants to be at home. But he's had to did this because you didn't want to clean the toilet? And you're like, yeah, I did, yeah. She's the reason he's there.
He doesn't want to be there.
He wants to be at home.
Yeah.
But he's had to do this because she wouldn't shut up.
She's the problem.
Dump her.
No, don't dump her.
Wait till she dumps you.
Just ride it out.
Yeah, yeah.
And when she finds out, you just go, yeah, your fault.
Anyway.
And if she's doing you any good enough,
just get another wife six miles away.
Just start another family.
Duck in.
Where are you?
You're never here.
You've got two.
Well better.
And then when she, yeah, just keep going.
It's a nightmare where she goes, hey, I need you back at home.
I'm fucking 18 miles away.
I'm two families away.
Right.
Next one.
This from Steve.
I ripped a mean fart in the restaurant queue
of a very busy Ikea.
I turned and looked to see who was behind me.
It was a baby on a pram.
That's bad enough,
but the smell was so bad,
and the fact I looked at the baby
made its parents think it had shit itself.
This started a fight between the couple
over who was going to change the baby.
It went on for a minute or two
before they both left the queue in a huff.
Day ruined.
Is my arse absolved or do I need a spot of Jermaine?
You didn't tell them.
What's a spot of Jermaine?
Penance.
Oh, I see.
Nice.
Very good.
Yeah, come on.
Catch up, Penance.
Sorry, mate.
I'm sorry.
He didn't say, oh, your baby's pooed.
Imagine if you did.
Your baby stinks.
So I don't think he's done anything wrong.
Or just spoke to the baby.
You dirty little bastard.
He's just farted on a kid's head.
Like, that's not a crime.
I don't think it is illegal to fart on a kid's head, no.
I think it is.
I think it's about distance.
Either you get close enough,
I think someone's going to have legal complaints.
Is that against the law? They've assumed that their baby has shit its pants.
You can't fart as an attack, I don't think.
If that's like your move to attack a baby.
No, but if a kid's walking past and I say,
you go get on that kid.
But that's like manslaughter.
It's like accidental manslaughter.
It's involuntary.
So I feel that would be a different fart.
Tell that to the Pokemon Weezing.
Yeah.
Come on.
I'm coughing.
One of his best attacks was a little fast, really. Oh, wasing. Yeah. Come on. I'm coughing.
What?
One of his best attacks was a little fast, really.
Oh, was it?
Is that two points?
Smog.
Smokescreen.
Smokescreen, yeah.
I think you might have a problem with the authorities if you fart too close to a baby's head.
Play it out.
No, but think about it in court.
It would only come bad if it looked like you had purposely
tried to fart on the baby's head, I feel.
Yeah.
If the baby's coming into your fart stream,
then I think it's on the baby.
The statement-
I think as long as he's got his eyes on the meatballs,
then he can fart whenever he likes.
Yeah, but just for anyone,
it is when we were like,
it's not illegal to fart on a baby's head,
I reckon you could make it so...
How? What have you done?
Oh, no, it is illegal
because that's implying you're sitting on the baby's head, right?
No, you can't get on that.
No touching.
No touching.
Yeah.
And no reversing towards the child.
Ah, okay, that's...
Can't be like, can I hit you?
I don't think there's anything wrong with fart on kids' heads.
Don't put that in the trailer.
I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
If the kid's just near your ass and you let a little one out,
sometimes, by the way, sometimes you can't control a fart,
sometimes it just comes out.
Also, the kid will have no, it won't affect the baby at all,
because it's a child.
I don't know if that affects their learning.
Will that traumatise them for later life?
Does that, I don't know, I think a fart, you know, if you've got a fart on a head. I'm not doing my own work, I don't know if that affects their learning. Will that traumatise them for later life? Does that... I think a fart...
You know, if you've got a fart on your head...
I'm not doing my own way.
I can't breathe.
If Adam farted near a kid's head,
they might not make it to university.
Oh, really?
That's the level of fart we're dealing with.
It's like growing up in the industry.
I had to use the bathroom yesterday
after he'd recently used it.
After Jack Finnegan had had to get dressed in it.
Oh, my God.
Wow. That could honestly take some
years off your education if adam farted on a baby they'd be speaking on diary of the ceo years later
about how it traumatized them about adam rose farted on my face because of the water
flint flint michigan flint michigan yeah adam could cause some lead poisoning in kids if you
can't fart on them.
It's genuinely not even about-
It's like a biological crime.
It's biological warfare.
The parents need to go up as well and go,
hang on, the smell's gone.
That man's farted.
The kid hasn't shit itself.
Let's get our fucking meatballs.
He didn't do anything.
He just farted and there was a kid nearby
and they all went, oh, the baby's pooed.
You're going to have to do it.
No, you're going to have to do it.
And then they've got off and fucking gone
to have a look for a poop together as a couple.
Well, there's clearly issues already in the relationship.
I don't think he should be feeling any.
You lads, you're fine.
They sound bad.
Yeah, they're already on edge.
The baby's shit.
You change it.
No, you change it.
Like, we're both fucking off
and leaving it here when we speak to each other again we'll make a new one what do you do if you
don't and laura shit herself if laura shit herself i just get the baby to change it really
i pretend not to smell it go about my business and laura goes oh he's pooed i'm like well it is really a case of whoever
smelled it deals with it and i'm listen i'm not even joking it's very irresponsible to smell the
poo and then go oh he's he's pooed and it's on you in it so just pretend that you're busy
how long would you leave it if laura didn't pick up the fact uh well there is a point where it is
gonna it's It makes them...
If she starts doing that as well.
Yeah, if Laura's just like...
Mexican standoff.
Yeah.
After two months, social services will get involved.
At what point will you just go,
I'm going to change Jack,
and have Laura just go,
about time, it's been six hours.
Yeah.
It's bad.
It gives them a sore Fucking
How many times
Have you cleaned this bum
I mean
Are you a nappy changer
Or do you have one
Yeah of course yeah
Yeah you just have to be
I'm never
I'm never getting involved
With that man
You're not gonna change
The nappies
Not my job
No
No
Is it green
Is it green
Yeah
He's nearly three
No but baby poo's green innit
Oh baby poo
Baby poo's all over the shop
They don't know how to poo.
The first poo is like dark matter.
It's like something Nibbler would do.
It's unbelievable.
Their first ever shit.
Dark matter.
So it's sort of like a bend space and time sort of.
Yeah.
Babies don't shit in the womb.
Ow.
Right?
They know once they're out,
they get a bit of fresh air,
leave it in 12 hours.
What, they've been holding it in for nine months?
They hold it in,
and there is,
I can't remember what it's called,
there is like a block up there,
back passage.
A plug.
Yeah.
It's a kinky baby.
Yeah.
They have to pass that,
and that's the first poo.
And it's called something,
and I can't remember what it's called.
Meconium.
It's meconium,
and it is dark, black, weird stuff. Yeah. And it's the first shit. It's like, it's meconium and it is dark black weird stuff
and it's the first shit
it's like
it's the seal broken
I thought that's what
the umbilical cord was for
I thought the baby
pooed into the man
yeah
so once that's
snipped off
they have a block
in the bottle
the butt plugs in there
I witnessed
my
children's
first shit
that's what happened
to the girl you know
she just didn't have
that first poo no the girl I know. She just didn't have that first poo.
No, the girl I know was born with no arsehole.
She just needs to do her first poo.
She hasn't done it yet.
Dan, while we're on this topic,
I've always wondered this.
So umbilical cord,
some geezer ties it up, right?
Why does it never come undone?
Am I thick?
Because he's been in the scouts.
He's been in the scouts.
It must be a really, like that is the best not ever.
But think about how many of you have been born.
Nearly everyone has like a half decent belly button.
Surely there's like some loose ones.
Is there not somewhere that just is just flapping about?
Are you an innie or an auntie?
I am, I'm an innie.
For a long time, it's just got a little clip on it.
For the first few weeks of a baby's life
it's just like a little you can't unpick it can you don't put a pen the umbilical cord dies undo
it on the clip and then it just falls up yeah i never thought about it is it just it just sets
it just goes it just goes like a like a strong hand are we all are we all in easier but what
not do they i wonder what type of knot. Like, is it a Windsor knot?
Every surgeon's been to Cubs and done the full...
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a good scout.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a good question.
It's not like a...
There's not like a...
It just happens naturally, doesn't it?
You can't undo it now.
Also, you can't have a beer belly and have an outie.
That's just another cock.
The use of also, I like that.
Oh my God.
My father-in-law had one of the most amazing outies.
Really?
Colossal.
You know, the dude was in his 60s.
And it was out.
Are you sure it wasn't his cock?
That went out.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
I shouldn't have sucked it.
Do you want any blue fluff right now?
I've just got some out.
I've just de-blue fluffed That's on the French didn't it
I've got an innie outie
It's always blue
That is one of the gods biggest marvels
That's an existential question
Every belly button fluff is blue
And you say there's no creator
No matter what colour you wear your belly button fluff is blue
Have you got an innie?
That's true.
Have you got an innie?
I've got an innie outie,
so it goes in and then it comes out again.
Who are you?
What is it?
That's an innie outie.
Do you want to check that out?
Pull some fluff out,
see if it's blue.
There's no fluff in there.
What?
Sorry, now I feel like a freak
because I don't have fluff in my belly button.
That means you're gay.
Yeah, it does, sadly.
Does?
No, famously. He's got no fluff in his belly button. That means you're gay. Yeah, it does, sadly. Does? No, famously.
He's got no fluff on his belly button,
do you know what I mean?
What was the poo in a Nike, yeah?
Oh, tell your baby to shut up.
Something like that.
Yeah, also just change your baby's arc.
It's your job.
Change his ass?
Get a new ass?
Take him to Turkey.
If you say, if you've got a baby,
if you've got a baby, you go, change his ass. All right, we're on a plane. Change. Take him to Turkey. If you say, if you've got a baby, if you've got a baby

Baby's new arse.
Baby's got a bum.
Give an absolute dump truck.
Tell you what,
Dan.
Baby's got a new arse.
Break the internet.
Oh, no.
Your baby's bunda
really doesn't suit him.
What the hell is your billy
being a turkey?
Yeah, a turkey bum.
Turkey arse.
Turkey bum.
Do you know when you love your kid,
but you're like,
he's just not got enough fucking batty?
Imagine not liking changing nappies that much.
You get your kid a new ass.
It's not clean, is it?
Give him a new one.
That's what I'd do.
It's like you with your underwear and your pleats.
Heartbroken when it shits again.
You've got a million pairs of underwear.
Yeah.
And I'm just pooing them.
I'm just pooing them.
million pairs of underwear.
Yeah.
I don't just poo in them and throw them away.
The fucking room is
getting spread about me,
by the way.
I'm a model citizen.
You buy plates
and you don't want to wash them?
Not anymore.
Okay, you used to.
I did do that once.
No.
It was once.
Didn't you burn it all
in the bottom of one of the mugs
because it's left there for months?
A pan.
Do you remember in Roncorn there's a pair of under it all in the bottom of one of the months because you just left it there for months? A pan. Do you remember
in Roncorn, there's a pair of
underpants just in the studio
and you were like, they're just my
emergency pair of underpants just in case.
You brought them to a lock-in?
They were there for ages.
They were in Roncorn for ages.
Oh yeah, no, I brought them as a joke to one of the lock-ins
and I was like, I've got these in case I need them.
But they never left, so they were always there
break glass in case of
nasty fart
listen
change your fucking kids
bum bum
that's not who wrote in
the person who wrote in
farted on a kid's head
he hasn't even got a kid
no I'm not even asking
whatever you do
don't go down
wiping a baby's ass
the fart is fine
the fart is fine
the parents sound like rats
yeah
they need to get off.
Should we have a word to round us off?
Ooh, yes.
Yo, G.
It's time to have a word with Adam and Dan.
Tell us all the problems you can have with your friends.
This was going to be the whole podcast.
That was just the final 10%
someone emailed in and went can we please
get a way of Adam hearing the music
because it looks so sad when he's
when he can't hear it I just have a little moment
to myself I like it
I just got a little break we're getting monitor
this one's from Connor Reeves
lads have a word with my mate Luke
we went to Subway for the first time
and I discovered that he eats his sandwich lengthways.
He says it does it the same with sausage rolls.
Have a word.
Cheers Reevesy.
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
From the side.
And he goes like, he stretches his mouth out and tries to.
It's like Scooby Doo.
Oh my God, should we laugh?
Yeah.
Like sweet corn.
Did he specify what type of, like a triangle sandwich
or like a baguette?
Like a sub-crust.
Subway, yeah.
Do you know what I'm having a way with him for?
Cause he's like car with his bounties.
He's just, he wants this.
He wants people talking about him.
He's attention seeker.
He's just, I ate a bounty.
He's attention seeker.
I ate a bounty.
It's attention seeking.
And that's what you were doing earlier.
Look at me with me bounty.
Could have had any chocolate bar you liked.
No, that's all we've got.
It was just, I had a bounty ratio.
He is literally trying to get people going,
why are you eating that like that?
That's all he's doing.
He's a fucking gimp.
That's weird, that's all.
But what, so you just think he's just doing it
while he's with his mates.
He's not doing it when he's on his own.
If he is doing it when he's on his own,
he's doing it to get the attention of strangers.
Or to practice.
Oh, yeah.
Do you know what though?
Wouldn't less of the filling get pushed out?
You know what I mean?
Yeah, but you'd be left with this.
Like a sort of string of bread.
You'd be left with a spine of bread.
With maybe like tiny bits of lettuce in there.
It'd be horrendous.
It'd be dangling like that. That's horrendous, yeah. You know how to eat a butty? Just eat it like a fucking of lettuce in there. It'd be horrendous. It'd be dangling like that.
That's horrendous.
Yeah.
You know how to eat a butty?
Just eat it like a fucking butty.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'd say the advice would be just don't,
just act like it's not weird at all.
That'll really piss him off.
Cause you'll be sat there,
everyone's eating a sandwich and he's going like,
this is weird and you just ignore it.
That will drive him crazy.
Yeah.
He's eating it like that.
Just do something that's even more attention
so he can get like a fucking mullet corner,
pour it onto a table,
and then just lick it all up.
Ow.
Just go mad.
Or eat the sandwich that way,
but turn it round,
so you're going through the sandwich like that.
Good idea, John.
Is there anything you use differently
that you think you do a bit weird?
I lick a kind of bueno out.
Yeah.
I deep throat crumpet.
Roll them.
Just gag on.
No.
I bite the bottom off the bueno
and then lick the center out when they need to.
I do have a Twix.
I'll eat the biscuit first and then the caramel second.
I mean, do you know the maddest thing about what you've just said
is the way around in which you separate them?
Why?
I eat the caramel first and then the biscuit.
You don't eat the biscuit and then the caramel.
The caramel hasn't got enough...
Like, it hasn't got any integrity.
It does.
It lies a lot.
It hasn't got as much integrity as the biscuit.
I'll show you.
It's fine.
As long as it's not like...
You end up with a floppy chocolate-covered caramel.
But they're actually surprisingly, like, stable.
You could hold it and wobble it and it'd be fine.
No, just do it the other way around for me. Okay, for you. Next time I'm and wobble it, and it'd be fine.
No, just do it the other way around for me.
Okay, for you.
Next time I'm eating a Twix, I'll think about it.
My gran used to cut my toast into soldiers,
and it made it taste better.
And I know it didn't, but I just liked it.
But as a grown man, if you were like...
My mum used to smash my spaghetti by the nasal.
Was it punishment, or...?
You haven't done
your own work
not on your feet
fuck off
she would get me
so she'd make
everyone spaghetti
bolognese
and she'd plate it
like normal
you know
beef and sauce
in the middle
spaghetti on the outside
and then she'd just
like mix it all up
and
oh yeah
like cut it all up
that's lovely
yeah
yeah
that's mum shit
the first time I ever
had it
in a restaurant
I looked at the waiter like
what the fuck is this
come on lads
do your thing
smash this up
does the chef not fucking like me
you're not saying
I'm being a very good boy this week
I can't think of anything
I eat weird
I eat crisp
dead loud
because it tastes better
yeah I'm pretty normal
with food as well
so
it's difficult for me
what do you mean you eat crisps like i don't like people who put a crisp enough and then
close their mouth i'm like i don't want no one to eat them crisps quietly no i eat them like pop
a mouth open and like go for it you're so polite yeah my ass my house you do anything weird oh
you're in yours yeah i'm like in the on the. Do you do anything weird like this, Horatio? I eat apple cores.
I don't know if that's.
Why?
Oh my God.
Just the cores?
I hate apple cores, so just get it done.
And then I'm left with that.
I just, yeah, I go straight through it.
Get it done.
I don't believe you.
Including the.
All the thing, it's fine.
And the stem?
No, not the stem.
I'll leave the stem.
Don't you get apple tea in your belly?
Yeah, and it was a real problem, actually.
So I've got an orchard in there
and it's actually becoming a real issue.
That's why I got it when I was a kid.
Yeah.
Now you can eat all of that,
but nothing more than that.
It's just another one of those things
you've just found out is bollocks.
Chewing gum doesn't get wrapped around your ass either.
Yeah.
You're an underlying bitch.
Oh, I still...
Every time I've got chewing gum,
I'm like, you don't swallow it
because you'll die instantly. Hang on. Why don't you swallow it? What do you mean? Oh, you still, every time I've got chewing gum, I'm like, you don't swallow it because you'll die instantly.
Hang on.
Why don't you swallow it?
What do you mean?
Oh, you don't.
But why were they lying to us?
Because it finds it very difficult to go down your throat,
especially as a child, so you could choke on it.
And if it goes into your stomach,
it doesn't really digest properly
and you just poo out chewing gum.
And you'd be like, man, why have I pooed out chewies?
But if it was the murderer that we got,
like,
people told kids,
like,
if you swallow it,
you will die pretty much.
It wouldn't be available
in every shop
to all children,
would it?
Don't swallow this thing,
you chew or you'll die.
For the God's sake,
if you swallow that,
I mean,
chew all of it,
12 a day if you want,
if you swallow it,
you're dead.
Like a Hubba Bubba's so flavourful.
No, for about a minute and then it's the least flavourful thing in the world.
Do you spit it out?
Do you swallow a Hubba Bubba?
I used to, I don't have them because I'm a 31-year-old man.
Fair enough.
Hang on, it's the same theory.
Bubblegum and chewing gum's the same, isn't it?
Yeah, but I mean, like a Wrigley's isn't flavourful.
You don't want to taste it, you don't want to eat it, do you?
Hang on, so you never swallow chewing gum,
but you swallow in all the Hubba Bubba?
No, I don't have them anymore when I was a kid.
Wow, I never just, if I could, yeah, never mess with either.
Hubba Bubba cola flavour.
Oh, for 40 seconds, top tier.
But then it has to be a bit...
After that, shite.
It's a lot of chewy though, isn't it?
It's big.
Yeah.
Big for your mouth.
Was it made out of whales?
I think so, yeah.
It's not vegan, is it?
Chewies aren't vegan. It's made out of whales? I think so, yeah. It's not vegan, is it? Chewy's aren't vegan.
It's made out of whales' arseholes.
Nice, that's why it tasted good.
Like Finn.
I don't know.
It doesn't say.
Right, should we do...
Google it.
I did Google it.
I Googled Chewy's vegan.
Vegan.
It's not vegan.
Check it out. Fucking Finn, just check the time. I's not vegan. Check it out.
Fucking Finn, just check the time.
I don't know.
It's not coming up.
It's not.
Right, we've got another have a word.
Lids, I need you to have a word with my brother,
also a listener and a Patreon.
My brother is getting married next year,
and I'm very happy for him.
But as his only brother,
I feel I should be in pole position for best man.
However, he has chosen our little sister
to take that role.
And to be honest, it's really pissed me off.
Everyone I have mentioned it to
has said it's out of order,
including both of our parents.
However, it's his wedding.
Am I out of order to feel like I don't want to attend
or am I overthinking it?
How old is she?
Is she like eight?
That's such a fuck you. Be a belt of stag. Don't want to go to or am I overthinking it? How old is she? Is she like eight? That's such a fuck you.
Be a belt of stag,
don't want to go the wacky way.
I was for seven days.
Wow.
You know what?
I never knew playing with Barbies on a hangover would work,
but it does, doesn't it?
Get in the house.
Is he doing it to piss him off though?
Cause that is hilarious.
If he knew he was just trying to wind them up.
That's entirely possible,
but I also think they sound like a pair of gimps who the him first of all the lad who's getting
married has got no friends his options are his little sister and his brother and he's chose his
little sister which is weird altogether and who gives a fuck about stuff like this oh oh lad
weddings and families i've only touched my toe in it and I'm feeling it come on if he's getting married
and if he went
lad obviously you're gonna
be there and everything
but I don't want you to be
best man
I've got an option
you would be a bit gutted
wouldn't you
because it's
you know what I mean
it's his brother though
it's not like
it normally goes to a friend
unless you're like
ridiculously close
and I'm telling you right now
they're not
there's a lot of
brother stag do's though
yeah
sorry best man.
I wasn't my brother stag.
I can see where the politics comes.
Yeah.
My brother would be a night guest.
If that.
No.
No, there you go.
He'll be a groomsman.
What?
I don't know whether he will.
He will.
He fucking will.
Of course he will.
Jack, you can be my plus one.
He will. When fucking will. Of course he will. Jack, you can be my plus one. He will.
When you get there.
He'd fucking turn up about four hours late.
Sorry, I was walking the dog.
Yeah, he would.
Yeah, but there's so many family politics and weddings.
I'm not really having a wedding.
I'm having two, but I'm not having a real one.
Explain.
When are you getting married?
Next April. Dan's our officiant. Oh. When are you getting married? Next April.
Dan's our officiant.
Oh, amazing.
The celebrant.
I'm a Catholic priest.
Nice.
We'll just practice him.
But I'm having a home wedding
for the people who can't go
to the Venice one.
But there's so many politics
in weddings.
It's so fucking boring.
I don't care about weddings
and I wish people didn't care
as much as I don't care. So you don't care when I don't invite them. But you do because people care about weddings. But even. I don't care about weddings and I wish people didn't care as much as I don't care.
So you don't care when I don't invite them.
But you do, because people care about weddings.
But even if you don't care,
you're marrying someone who does
and therefore you care.
Does she not care?
That's usually the problem.
Is it for the parents then?
The Venice one is for us to have a nice time
with the people we love.
The home one is for the family.
You can't go.
They don't care about them.
There is so much fun.
But you can't, as a lad,
you can't play the role of like, I'm not asked much but you can't we can't as a lad you can't
play the role of like i'm not asked you deal with it because that's not the deal your partner if
she's bothered or if they're changing a nappy it's that whole thing again you've got to be involved
but i don't know i'll be made to work with my family and that if i ever get married right i'm
telling you right now all this politics shit it's just not happening with my wedding. I said the same thing.
It's just not happening.
What would your wedding be like?
On this day, see you's there.
You've got this one.
Bosh, bash, beep, bop, boo.
See you there.
It's not a boogie.
Can you come?
Can I come?
Can they come?
Can my brother come?
Can this fella come?
No.
The gay, by the way.
No.
Did I specifically ask them to come?
Well then, no.
Would you ever dress dress-up wedding?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tennis.
Cowboy themed.
Cowboy tennis.
Would you have a traditional wedding, do you think?
Or do you think you'd just fuck around a bit?
I think it would very much depend on the woman I'm marrying.
Yeah.
Like, I wouldn't be that arsed.
Like, whatever she wants.
Just easy.
As long as I get to have a big party.
Like, it does good Guinness.
Yeah.
She can't be Muslim. You're going to marry a Guinness. What? You're going to have a big party. And look, like, it does good Guinness. Yeah. So he's, you know, she can't be Muslim.
You'll marry a Guinness.
What?
You'll marry a big classic.
It's a good one, though, actually.
It's a 10.
Oh, God.
Whenever he gets married, we're going to have to,
the venue's going to have to have good Guinness.
That's what I'm saying.
That's all I want.
Good Guinness and me mates there.
And a bit of country music on, maybe.
Good Guinness.
It's a birthday party.
Shamima and Edgness.
Shamima Bingham. But that's all that's all
that's all I want
is she home
why
she hasn't got
her home
oh no
I know
I know I mentioned
it but
what does Adam
want as a wedding
hang on
Shamima Begum
home
talking about
someone who loves
her God Guinness
she's fucking
hated Syria
does anyone else
fancy Shamima Begum a little bit?
Yeah. Good, just checking.
It's forbidden, isn't it?
But when she came back again
with the sideways baseball cap, that's when
it was like... Yeah, because when she left, she was 15.
Oh, I see.
I hate that.
Oh, God. She'd be
a great best man though.
She would.
Fuck yeah.
Well her whole shit
with the second one
because her first interview
she had the burqa on.
The second one
she was in the refugee camp
but then she had like a vest on
like a sideways baseball camp.
The whole point was like
I'm actually kind of fun
and I come back in.
So I think Shamim's
I'd be like
drink Guinness
like be like a lad.
That's how you're getting back in.
You know I think that's the that's what she's got to do tactically.'s how you're getting back in. You know, I think that's the,
that's what she's got to do tactically.
All she needs to get back in the country
is a Chelsea season to her.
Definitely.
Shave her head,
you know.
Chelsea.
Yeah.
Chelsea.
Not doing very well in the league.
That's all I think about.
Yeah.
My brother's really pissed me off.
You know,
his wedding's coming up
and he's,
he's chosen Shamima Begum to be his best man.'m fucked off really my sister's fuming i don't know yeah
yeah like i think when it comes to weddings do you think you'll ever get married would you be
bothered have you got any i think i think my girlfriend would like it uh my sister's getting
married this year and it's a big deal for her she's making this whole thing out of it but i'm not losing my year to a wedding so i want it as easily done as possible but yeah i'd like to
get married i think yes totally just let the women have it how they want also you don't need it it's
not like um it used to mean something like you'd you'd the father would give like three horses to
your family and you'd need that to plow the fields and stuff now it doesn't mean anything so why make
it stressful you think that's what it meant it used to mean like i need horses i need three horses you need to marry the
horse family so we can get horses because we need that's why i married laura we're short
famously as long as 30 years ago but times have changed dan it's not the same as it was back in
your day you know it's now like you know yeah it isn't the same not like it's a wedding ring used to be as a dowry wasn't it
yeah so now i'm like a ring sorry now i have a harry bow ring yeah you know just fucking
the fact that doesn't mean anything it's like edmund fringe that we're talking about it doesn't
mean the same thing so enjoy yourself well it doesn't because you you weren't living together
or having sex or anything back in the d's the whole like last night of freedom and then the
first night you sleep
together it's a little shite you've been living together fucking three years together 10 by the
time you're married it's it's just a ceremony isn't it that's all it is anymore it's just
change of status it's not the same like before it was you weren't really together you're married
now you are properly together everyone's you've been playing married couple for years.
We've been together 12 or 13 years.
And living together for three.
But it is the only time you'll get everyone together.
So that's why it's special.
It's the only time you're going to get all those people,
family, friends under one roof.
But here's the problem with that.
Just personally, like I love a wedding.
They're all good fun.
But it's mixing every family
and friend group all at once and then the seating arrangement it is a bit knackered yeah you know
when you've got you're out with your mates i love going out with this lot i would much rather it
always just be this lot for your wedding soon as no no i mean just on the night out i'm just
talking in nights out yeah mixing friend groups causes whoever is at the
fucking center of that mix a little bit of stress maybe it doesn't maybe it's great but the more you
bring in the more potential you've got like a clash of personalities or whatever the wedding
does feel like fuck me there's everyone i've ever liked or known or family and everything but do you
ever have a thrill of two people you've brought together have any that's probably great beautiful
moment on the dance floor where you're like,
oh, there's a fucking circuit comedian dancing with, like,
fucking Laura's sister or something.
Yeah, a house party.
Yeah.
I love that.
But that doesn't always happen, does it?
No.
Have you really dug your heels in in this wedding?
Where you're like, I want it like this!
No.
I mean, the way the wedding is yeah
I was never having
a big church wedding
I was never having
everyone's having soup
that costs 40 grand
like oh
there's an auntie
you've never met
hello
can I have the soup
that you've paid for now
fuck off
that was the only thing
that I wanted
I want the people
who will love
that's it
I don't want people
who don't know
and that's so common
at weddings innit
yeah but no we both want the same thing luckily with everything so we're very lucky who will love that's it i don't want people i don't know and that's so common at weddings in it
yeah yeah um but no we both want the same thing luckily with everything so we're very where's the
home one it's just going to be in town it's going to be like the town hall or saint george's hall
and then we're going to have a meal with everybody right the home one is literally just uh on big
bowl i'd love to go to big ball why not you can that doesn't like Chinese food. No, she's not. God said food.
I could have stopped as well.
Venice is a celebration of everybody who we love.
How many people are you bringing to Venice?
Four.
50.
Like 50 of us, I think.
That's going to be amazing.
It's just going to be everybody for three days in Venice,
having a lovely time,
and in the middle of it,
we get married and he's doing it.
It's going to be so perfect.
It's not going to be, oh, get up at eight in the morning, get, we get married and he's doing it. It's going to be so perfect.
It's not going to be,
oh, get up at eight in the morning,
get your makeup done.
You don't see no one.
Spend 40 grand on one day.
Oh, the shite.
Yeah.
And it'd be great to be a minister for me.
Obviously I've been gigging a lot,
but you know,

What's your real name?
What are you up to?
No number, no name
Such a shame
My face, no gay
You say you're stuck in my brain like
Who's there?
Who's there?
Who's there? Who's there?
She got the body of some
The job's out of her battle axe
Look at her A no-show The queen's in me It's cause she's just got to let go We'll be right back. Who's that?
Who's that?
Who's that?
She got the body herself
But the job's out of a bottleneck I can't We're like in lips She got my H and the E and the A and the R The kid that make her got me in and out of the bar
Here I am singing along
The one who charms
I don't get yourself
Boy, she was always a charmer
Who's that?
Who's that?
Who's that? Who's that?
She got the body of something
She's outside of the bed We'll see you next time. you you
