Let's get back to Runcorn.
Yeah.
I watched them.
No, thank you.
On my YouTube,
it pops up recommendations for videos
and a lot of it's us.
One of them was the highlight of the day
was the highlight from the last day in Runcorn.
Us saying bye.
You didn't give a fuck.
It was emotional to watch though.
It was important for the podcast, wasn't it?
That was massive.
To think how i remember
the conversation in coming out of that first lockdown where me and adam were like we're going
to do this and how much can we commit a month and it was like i look back now and it wasn't a lot
but at the time you're like this is a big commitment do you think we can do it how much
we're going to spend on the refurb is like it like, it might be 1500 quid. You're like, let's take the risk.
I lied to Laura and said it would be less.
And now,
does she know yet?
Have you told her?
Yeah, I don't think she's asked.
No,
we employ like 15 people.
Yeah.
She still thinks we work in Runcorn.
Just me,
you and Matt.
She still thinks it's one a week.
Who's moving that camera?
Could be anyone.
So yeah,
it's a bit big on now.
I don't think I could
go back to Runcorn
no
I don't want to go back
more than three in the room
was a busy room
yeah
it was Jimmy Carr
wasn't it
Jimmy Carr was the point
where we went
right we need a better studio
it's where you went
yeah because you walked
you were already there
and he was never going to
not want to move to Liverpool
and Jimmy Carr left the room and you went yeah we've got to move to Liverpool we can't never going to not want to move to Liverpool and Jimmy Carr left the room and you went
yeah we've got to move to Liverpool haven't we
we can't be having people like that come to this
yeah that was a one
how's your week going
really good babe
you know really good
are you banging the gym aren't you
I'm not good at it though
in the arse
I think I need testosterone
I don't know.
I need something.
I just go and I do the two things that I like to do.
Come to the gym with me.
I'd love to go to the gym with you.
Oh, let's be little gym...
Buddies.
Buddies.
Oh, that'd be nice.
Gym gays.
Yes.
Come to the gym with me.
We'll fucking pump iron together.
Me and Jack are going to be gym gays.
We've signed up to David Lloyd.
Oh, nice, mate.
God, it's all changed around here isn't it it's a
massive gym and you get access to the spa indoor pool and outdoors it isn't a massive gym i've
literally been a member of it it's quite a poo gym the spa and the sauna the lessons all great
the actual gym i have poo well as long as there's some weights that i can lift you can you can do a
workout with your body weight at home carl i just need to be surrounded by like-minded people chasing a similar goal.
Or buttons to cycle around.
No, it's right.
It's spot on.
Yeah.
It's spot on.
That's why I got through,
or nearly got through that half marathon.
Because everyone else, I was like,
these are all gimps.
I'll beat them.
And I need to be now taking that into the gym.
I texted my personal trainer.
I was like, look,
that half marathon was a bit of a wake-up call. it's time to get in the shape of my life yeah it's like i
need a nutrition plan yeah yeah i need a nutrition plan and i need like to start adding some resistance
training in oh on top of my cardio you've got to feel the pump i can't run just yet because i feel
like i've been kickboxing my stomach. Not like
my bum stomach, but like
my normal stomach. The muscles.
Hang on, what? Yeah. Not your
pooey, pooey stomach? No. You're like
your sit-up stomach. That's not been great for a couple
of days anyway, and I don't know
there's something going on with
how I'm eating, but I
just feel quite a lot of pain
still.
Anything to do with the 15 pints
of Guinness
in the big bowl?
No?
I don't have that anyway.
I have that every weekend
and I'm always,
you never hear me
complain, do you?
And that's what,
if you're a Scouts athlete,
that's what you eat,
isn't it?
That's what you have.
You finish a half marathon,
15 pints,
big bowl,
standard.
One more pint,
then I'm...
One more pint,
got to go back for a pint.
You forgot there are
like seven gallons of water in between.
Oh, God.
And that offsets all the Guinness.
Yeah.
Water's done.
Your body doesn't know what it is.
That's how it works.
So this is it.
I had three pints of Guinness yesterday as well.
Yeah, apart from that.
But that's like a warm down, isn't it?
You don't just go to the pub and drink 15 pints and then another pint.
That's dangerous.
So just not drink for a few days.
What is he, fucking stupid?
You've got to have your warm down pints.
Three pints.
Smart.
He knows how to do it.
It's healthy.
He's spoken to a doctor
who was imaginary,
but that's not the point.
Keep drinking, Adam.
You're doing well.
Yeah, like-minded people.
It's brilliant.
Have you been reading the pamphlet or something?
You just need to be surrounded by other athletes
to be like,
you're gimps, I'm beating you.
It's not actually as communal as you're making it seem.
Because what you're saying is-
I'm competitive.
Yeah.
And I'm so much better than meself now
that I have to look at other people.
Because I know I can beat previous me.
Who are you?
Which previous you are you?
Are you, is it like-
Last week. Right. All right. Are you? Is it like last week?
Right.
All right.
But I'm always better than last week because I've done more.
Beat your last session.
So it's never like, am I going to be able to beat me last session?
Because I am.
I just will.
I'm better than last week because I've ran more.
I'm just better than...
Every day I improve as a person and an athlete.
So I need someone else to compete with.
So now I need to go and compete with people
who on the face of it, to the naked eye,
you would go, they're better than Adam.
Nah.
They've got bigger muscles, nicer bums.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
I don't even look.
And I need to go and take sort of competition from them.
You need to go to the Olympics.
It's just a natural progression, isn't it?
You know?
Because then you can get to the Olympics and you're like,
you gimps.
I'm fucking better than you.
I was genuinely thinking.
Right.
There we go.
What would be the easiest Olympic sport for me to sort of wear me way into?
Finn, can you search
what's...
Whoa.
Finn's airy.
That's Harry. Finn's having
a beer production. The easiest
Olympic sport? Rhythmic gymnastics.
Footy? Or footy?
No. Equestrian?
You're not even doing half the work there. That's a horse.
And footy would be good because there's only three
over 23s allowed in the squad
and you're naturally
going to make that cut
fencing
paint me
yeah
rhythmic gymnastics
surely like shot put
huh
but you've got to be
huge
for shot put
oh mate
no
he doesn't have to win
he just has to get into it
that's what the shot putters
want you to think
yeah have you ever seen the woman who qualified for the winter olympics and she Oh, mate. No, he doesn't have to win. He just has to get into it. That's what the shot putters want you to think.
Yeah.
Have you ever seen the woman who qualified for the Winter Olympics and she just wanted to go to the Olympics,
but she wasn't very good?
Fiona Bruce.
She just hosted.
So the Winter Olympics, like, via the Colombian team
and did the downslope skiing,
but just, like, made sure she didn't fall off
because she didn't fall off in all of the qualifying she
got to the olympics then went to the olympics and didn't fall off and finished like last because
there's no columbian skiing team of course you get disqualified if you fall off so what a britain
shit at what can i get in i'd i'd trains go on the olympic trains the olympic trains in this country
is shit aren't they it's not an olymp it's a car oh yeah oh right did you know that
yeah
you did that on purpose
did you
what are we shit on
it was lovely
political commentary though
edgy
erm
something snowy
bobsled
I think winter Olympics
I think
I can see you going fast downhill
I think maybe that was the problem
with the half marathon
it was all on the same
same going downhill fast
yeah yeah yeah
get you on ice
bobsled bobsled
bobsled
or skeleton
have you ever
thought about
Jamaican
that'd be amazing
and we could do
the cool running
patron special
I don't think you qualify
for Olympic teams
by just thinking of yourself
as national native
oh wow
you bigot
it's 2024
you can identify
as Jamaican
if you want
probably
that'd be sick
wouldn't it
I'm Jamaican now.
Holly Willoughby, fucking driving it.
I think winter.
I think it's also easier to juice and cheat
at the Winter Olympics.
Hello, Russia.
I don't want to juice and cheat.
I want to get in the British Olympic team on merit.
Oh, sorry.
I just naturally assumed you were cheating.
No.
Oh, you're doing it genuinely.
I'm wondering if there's a...
What's the easiest sport to access?
Yeah.
How can you get in the Olympics?
Is darts in the Olympics?
No.
Now, I'm shite at darts, right?
Yeah.
So I don't think...
But like,
that would be for most people,
I think,
if you practice long enough.
What about the horse?
You've got a bit of money
buy one of them fucking dancing horses horses yeah buy a dancing horse yes mate we can buy a
dancing horse but let's get back to this olympics thing okay i can see you on it what do the riders
even do on that exactly it's all about the horse it's just about the money you spend it's about
no it's about sort of you've got to whisper to the horse
and tell them what to do.
Do the moonwalk.
Threaten the horse.
Up until now,
they've just been whispering,
going, please, please, Tabitha,
let's dance and win it.
They're all Tories, aren't they?
Tabitha the horse.
Tabitha, come on,
let's win a gold
and make mama and papa very proud.
But that different,
first scouse ever fucking dressage.
You fuck, I love you made of glue, lad.
You'll be in a fucking pritt stick by Wednesday.
Get fucking dancing.
The horse is doing backflips.
Did he salute?
The horse has got the cognition to know what a pritt stick is.
I don't want to be a pritt stick.
Fuck that.
As if there's better kinds of glue to be as well pva i'm not a pritt stick what uh do it on a donkey do you have to have a horse
yeah it would look so much more working class if you had a dancing just a big dog
what just put a saddle on, Perry. Yeah.
See what happens.
I think that's the way to go.
You know?
I just,
I need,
I've realized that I don't really sort of commit to stuff unless I've got a goal.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like I've,
I've done all this running because I knew I had to run a half marathon and then a marathon.
I wouldn't have,
like there's been days where I've gone for the 10K run where a marathon. I wouldn't have, like, there's been days
where I've gone for the 10K run,
where I've been on the couch going,
the last thing I want to do is go for the run.
But I knew I had to because I had to do that.
So I need, like, a target for me to get in proper shape.
If you're not a Patreon member, what are you doing?
Patreon.com slash have a word pod.
Adam ran a half marathon at the weekend
and did really well for about three quarters of it.
Then it got a bit more difficult.
No, no, no, no, no.
And you slowed a little bit.
It was a bit more painful.
No, no, no, no.
Last quarter of a mile.
Quarter of a kilometer.
Last quarter of a kilometer.
Sort of blacked out, fell over,
and then went delirious.
I didn't black out.
Blacked up.
Blacked him.
Blacked him. you the thing is you fell
over and you can't remember falling over so forgive me for using the phrase no that's not
really true no no it is what you said though yeah but i was like oh god yeah i didn't black up or
black out no i didn't black out that's out. No, I didn't black out.
That's the wrong...
Yeah.
It's hard to articulate what, like, my memory's like with it.
Yeah, because you can't remember anything from that moment.
No, no, no, no, no.
Like a blackout.
No, I'm saying it wrong.
You're misrepresenting the street.
No, I didn't black out and fall over.
I was unconscious and gravity got the better of me.
Very different, Dan.
You're not an athlete.
Pathetic. My different, Dan. You're not an athlete. Pathetic.
My legs gave in.
My legs gave in.
But you can't remember really that happening?
No, but I can now.
Oh, it's cool.
They've seen videos of it.
No, but genuinely, I have started to remember more of it.
Right.
And they are...
Okay, cool.
Like, I remember one of my ear pods coming out now.
Right.
As I was running around,
I ran around the Miller and Carter on Otterspool,
and one of my AirPods come out,
and I had to fucking go three yards back and pick that up.
Ooh, stop your momentum.
That could have really fucked him.
That, yeah.
It did?
Yeah.
But it did, though.
Yeah.
You didn't black out?
I didn't.
Fall over.
I did fall over. Yeah, you did fall over and weren't sure what happened for a while. Yeah. You didn't black out. I didn't. Fall over. I did fall over.
Yeah, you did fall over
and weren't sure what happened for a while.
Yeah.
But I didn't black out.
I've seen the video of you crossing the line.
It looks like you've had ketamine.
Yeah.
You're like, whoa.
It looks like, as a pill head,
it made me want to try half marathons
just to see if I could get that buzz.
Yeah.
But you didn't black out is what I'm saying. I didn't black out.
I didn't. But now you
know you need that target. So
Olympic gold dressage.
The Liverpool half marathon next year, I
want to run it in an hour and a half and not black out
or fall over. There's your goal.
Yeah. Yeah, but that's just
like... You'll do that tomorrow
if you want to. Can I just suggest? 20 pints of
Guinness, two big bowls,
three pints of Guinness.
I can't wait to run once.
I'm taking it seriously.
Yeah.
Join David Lloyd.
I'm looking forward to just having those days
where I just go and do three hours in the gym
and then have a swim,
you know?
Three hours?
That was me yesterday.
Three hours?
Well,
an hour and a half of it was scrolling,
but you've got to have that rest period,
don't you?
Three hours in the gym?
How long are you doing in the gym?
An hour,
but we're just...
Oh, an hour?
But we're just...
Like, there's no phones.
Yeah, but I drink Guinness
while I'm in the gym.
Athlete.
I've learned from it.
You don't sit next to an athlete
and not fucking pick up a few things.
Osmosis, isn't it?
It's going over.
Osmosis?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
No, we're doing...
I do...
Oh, maybe an hour, but like...
You're not going to get anywhere there, kid.
What? You're not going to get anywhere there, kid. What?
You're not going to get absolutely anywhere.
An hour's the warm-up.
Waste of time.
No, I do a warm-up.
There was a woman swimming in front...
Who swam in front of me yesterday.
I was in the medium speed swimming.
It was really quiet.
Oh, you were in a pool?
It's Tuesday afternoon.
She wasn't just mental.
Right?
What do we do?
She was in the quiet bit
with some old people,
not long to live.
They're just swimming out
the last few moments.
That's fine.
She was in there.
I had noticed her.
I told Laura.
She's very attractive.
An attractive woman.
Why did you tell Laura?
I don't know.
Because I told her the story.
I needed to give full disclosure.
Also,
and this is where you're going wrong
with Seneca.
You don't make Seneca jealous enough.
He likes to constantly plant
the image in Laura's head.
Yeah, I was at the gym today,
a young lady across from me doing this, Laura.
You know, and I was like, I don't know, is she hungry?
Does she want a brew?
Was Laura there with you?
No.
Or did you just text her?
So I'm in the quiet bit.
I told her the story when we got back.
I'm in the middle bit.
It's all quiet.
She decides that the fucking 92-year-olds
in the slow lane are going too fast.
She's wearing quite a small bikini type thing.
I am having a little drink of water.
I'm having a little break between laps,
between fucking lengths, yeah?
Go on.
You drink the water.
You're drinking water while you're in the pool?
I take water and put it on the side of the pool
for when I just fancy a bit of water.
I've never seen any other human being in the history of humans do that.
Oh, you should come down to Total Fitness Chester.
Total Fishness?
Total Fishness.
There's a load of fish doing it.
Trying to be a fish, aren't you?
There's loads of...
It's a done thing.
When it comes to Total Fishness today,
we're going to learn how to be whales.
I turned around and she'd moved into the middle lane
and set off in front of me.
She wasn't...
So I started swimming.
I was one yard from her bumhole.
Why?
Instantly.
She was just right...
Like, I genuinely hadn't seen it.
And she was swimming.
I swam there for a bit.
I've never felt pervy and I honestly wasn't trying.
I was just swimming natural in a tiny
little fucking thing and i was like i'm gonna feel like i'm gonna get caught so i let her go
ahead and then i sort of ended my length early and sort of turned around i just couldn't do it
you're gonna swim over there is that that's that's bad form in it no it's like an overtake i think
the overtake's eggy you know sometimes instead Sometimes, instead of doing the overtake, I sort of just loop round and start the back length.
I think that's eggy, yeah.
Is it?
Yeah.
Swim under them.
I swear, it was all gooch every time.
Not just the mosey-mosey arse cheeks.
She obviously wanted it.
It was all gooch.
Women haven't got gooch.
Was it a fella?
Women haven't got gooch?
Women don't have a gooch.
What are you talking about? They don't have a gooch. What are you talking about?
They don't have a gooch?
No, they don't.
They just have a hole between the pussy and the arsehole.
That's the lady gooch.
No, it's not.
Gooch has to have a significant amount of distance.
No, you don't know gooch.
Gooch is an inch, two inches at least.
A two-inch gooch?
But this is a centimetre gooch.
It's still the bit between the fucking it's not a Gucci
you can't spin a Beyblade on it
wow
it's difficult to argue with that
I honestly think
she wanted me to
spin a Beyblade on it
she was giving off that vibe
spin a Beyblade
on my Gucci
that's why I'm
swimming with you
if you can't
spin a Beyblade on it it's not a'm swimming out of here if you can't spin
a beyblade on it
it's not a gooch
women you could not
if you span a beyblade
anywhere near a woman's
gooch
it would go in her pussy
on her arsehole
yeah
the nicest of women
is that on the
is that on the packet
as a warning
just to let you know kids
don't spin this on what
you're perceiving
as a lady's gooch
women don't have goochies though
no
there's a little bit it's gooch eye isn't it there's a're perceiving as a lady's gooch. Women don't have goochies, though. No?
There's a little bit. It's gooch eye, isn't it?
There's a little, but there's a, there's a, there's a,
I mean, if there's nothing there at all,
it's just the omni-hole and that can't be healthy.
Oh.
Yeah.
But I think the plural of gooch is gooch eye.
Gooch.
Gooch.
Get your gooch on your face, girls.
Well, I had to move move I had to move lanes
to just be
I felt like a sex best
like Rick Ross
why didn't you just
tell her to move
I'd be like
why are you coming over
from the slow lane
with your tiny tiny
fucking thong on
to then swim slower
in the middle lane
she was sending signals
and you were not
picking up here sir
she was
why are you topless
what's that beyblade doing there you're being too slow move popping up here, so. She was bollocking me. Why are you topless?
What's that Beyblade doing there? You're being too slow.
Move.
That Beyblade shouldn't be there.
Swimming solo, move.
It's like you've not even read the packet, love.
Get the Beyblade off your non-gooch.
Get it on mine.
Have you ever used a Beyblade?
Do you think I have?
What is a Beyblade?
What is a Beyblade?
What's a Beyblade? Now now what i've got in my head is a fidget spinner but i know it's not it's not no no no basically
like a large it's an aggressive competitive spinning top oh like a yeah like a battle top
yeah and your your aim them when did these come out
when we were in little school
yeah so what year
like late 90s
was that
yeah yeah yeah
I was having sex with girls
so
our times have changed
yeah
now you're playing
with playmates
you've stopped fucking women
I would honestly
all good things come to an end
don't they
you're fucking
I'll get some Beyblades out
full
that made me sad that was funny but it made me sad things come to an end, don't they? You're fucking... I'll get some Beyblades out.
Full... That made me sad.
That was funny, but it made me sad.
Go on, talk me through Beyblades.
You usually get an upturned bin lid.
That's a classic Beyblade Emporium or Arena.
And you start it with like a...
It's like a fucking...
It's like a big...
Did you have to make that noise?
You've got to say, let them rip.
That was the catchphrase.
It's like a pull tab, and you do that, and then you spin.
And the goal is to stop theirs spinning.
Bruh, the technology was developed before the Beyblade.
You mean it's got little teeth on it, and then you razz it?
Yeah.
What did I have that on?
What had one of them on?
Beyblades.
Oh, I've unlocked a memory.
It's something from Thundercats.
Something from Thundercats had a pull and then it went.
July 99, they came out.
Also, the cartoon on the telly of it.
July?
They made it like Pokemon.
So everyone's Beyblade had a monster that came out of it and they would have a scrap but in real life that didn't happen no no
it's just two bits of plastic twatting around a bin lid yeah but that was enough that was enough
so you you go hey lad join me in the amphitheater of death yeah i've got me nan's bin lid you
overturn it if he beats, does he keep it?
No.
That was one of the rules,
but you'd have to say before you started,
I'll be playing for keeps.
They were expensive as well.
By the way,
I know you're going to fucking take the piss out of me.
Same rules with marbles.
Marbles.
It was like, it was honestly with marbles.
Conkers, Dan, yeah?
Ball on a string.
Marbles.
Can I have some of your ollies?
Crazy bones, you'd play for keeps. Dead ferret. Crazy bones, yeah. So with marbles can I have some of your ollies crazy bones you'd play
for keeps
dead ferret
crazy bones yeah
so with marbles
on the playground
you would have your
you would have your like
your big boy
you'd have
you'd almost have your weights
you're like this is my like
bantam weight almost
and then you'd have your
heavy weight
but when you go
oh do you want a game
you'd have to pre-decide
like the boxing
if it was for the title
do you know what I mean?
Like, if this was for keeps, is this an actual keeps?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, we have a bit of spuffer there.
Pressure.
Is this for the title?
Marbles?
Even the teachers were like,
these are fucking gimps, these kids.
Yeah, of course, all teachers think kids are gimps.
But then the kickoff would be,
I lost to you because you owe me marbles.
And then they were like, no, I never agreed to that.
Whoa.
I didn't say it was for keeps.
No, no, no, no.
You've misunderstood.
I remember one kid, I swapped loads of footy stickers with him.
So I had loads of swaps.
I'd been to my nan and grandad's around my birthday
and she'd give me like like, 50 quid.
And I'd just gone and bought a box of stickers,
so I just had, like, a lot of stickers.
And I had loads of swaps.
And he had, like, four shinies that, like, I wanted,
that I needed, that I didn't have.
And I was like, I'll give you all of these.
I'd like a chunk of stickers like that.
I went, you can have all of them for'd like a chunk of stickers like that and you
have all of them for them four shinies and he wouldn't let me say i went no i mean you can just
have whatever's in my hand i just took them off my box like you just have all of them for them
four shinies so so you you did a random grab yeah you didn't even look what was in it no
oh that's so tempting isn't it like they were like four of like the last
10 i needed to fill the book so to me it's so tempting isn't it they were like four of the last ten I needed
to fill the book
so to me
it was like
this is worth it
and to him
it's almost like
storage hunters
isn't it
you're like
what is in there
but then we did
the swap
and I immediately
put the four stickers
in my book
because I was like
I'm closing
this negotiation
he looked through
what I'd given
and regretted his move.
And then was like,
you've got to give me your book now.
Because he was like,
well, you shouldn't have put them in your book
before I looked through them.
I was like,
there was never an agreement
that you were going to look through them.
And he went to the teacher and was like,
miss, this is what's happening.
And the teacher was like,
yeah, you're a fucking stupid,
come fuck off.
That was Gary O'Leary.
Teacher O'Leary.
Mr. O'Leary. Yeah, fuckLeary. Mr. O'Leary.
Yeah, fuck off.
It's break time.
Get that fucking apple off there.
I collected in 2010 when I lived with my mates Andy and Craig in Manchester.
We got the Panini sticker album for the 2010 Vuvuzela World Cup,
the South African World Cup.
Not as fun when you earn 40 grand a year
because you can just go in a shop
and, you know, like from,
like the people just get the whole thing.
And then we just,
I basically nearly filled it.
It's just not fun
when you can spend 35 quid
on a whole chunk of stickers.
Why don't we this summer?
Do the Euros one?
We'll do the Euros,
but we'll put a limit on how much we can spend a week
and see who can be the first to fill it.
Right.
Swaps.
But listen,
there has to be a real pinky fucking promise
on that thing
because there's a lot of expendable income knocking about
and I just think...
If someone else does it and gives it to them,
you know.
I remember being at an after party because I was and gives me them you know i remember being an
after party because i was on it at the time i remember being after party and randomly come
some random dude oh he might have even been at ours we might have been having a bit of a party
later on and this is late on and we've ended up talking about the world cup and i've gone i've
mentioned that we're doing the fucking panini thing for the first time since we were kids.
And he was like, mate, so am I.
It's mad.
Like, it's the first time I've done it in ages,
and I'm fucking one sticker off, and I will complete it.
And then I was high.
I was like, maybe I've got it.
And I had it, and I cut it out of my thing and gave it to him.
It's just the most amazing little, It must have been like six in the...
You cut out your book?
Yeah, because some guy was like,
oh, it's fucking...
I'd already lost interest.
We'd probably done like four-fifths of the...
I don't want a gram for that.
It's just a beautiful moment when I saw his eyes little.
I mean, he was on Coke, but...
Who was it?
I'm going to guess.
I reckon it was...
How does he then stick that in his book?
I don't know.
But at the time, it felt like...
All you've done is ruin your book day.
He didn't even get what he wanted.
That is a sad story.
And that was him.
I go around lying as well.
I make people destroy their books.
It was some random fucking South African benchwarmer
that sounded...
Why was he in your house?
Sounded like a racial
fucking South African
bench warmer
he must have
pritt sticked it in
is that
it's a hollow
victory isn't it
I wouldn't even want that
I wouldn't want that
I would reject it
he was on drugs
and it was a genuinely
lovely moment
he might
just have been
trying to save my feelings
and got in the elevator
and be like
I wouldn't even want this.
Why have you got an elevator in your house?
What?
We had a flat.
Oh.
I thought they had you there.
Yeah, yeah.
Did you have a match of tax in school?
It's a big house.
We talked about this the other day.
That was sort of towards the end of our cycle.
I think I did it for like a year maybe
and then was just like,
this is not as good as stickers.
Me and my mate got match tax banned in our little school
because we had about eight Kevin Nolans,
like duplicate Kevin Nolans.
There was always a player that they seemed to just,
just to piss people off.
Just, there was too many of them, weren't there?
In the 2003 Premier League sticker book,
that was Jason Ewell.
Done my head in.
Wimbledon.
Wimbledon's Jason Ewell. Charlton, I think. I was at Yule. Done my head in. Wimbledon.
Wimbledon's Jason Yule.
Charlton, I think.
I was at both,
but that would be Charlton.
Wimbledon first.
Yeah.
There'd always be a player where you're like,
when someone would go,
oh, what swaps have you got?
Well, they're like,
of course you've got Jason Yule.
Everyone's got fucking 29 of them.
How did you get a band in your school?
So we had about eight of them.
And we were in year six,
so we're like 11.
And one of the year twos had 100 club Fernando Torres.
And we convinced him that Kevin Nolan was the best player in the prep.
And he swapped his 100 club Fernando Torres for eight Kevin Nolans.
And then cried and then he got banned.
Yeah, I think it's good.
Again, though, he is a gimp, isn't he?
Yeah.
He's a gimp.
Oh, crap, I ate Kevin Nolan. Yeah, but there was an age difference in this one. Yeah. He's a gimp. I've got eight Kevin Nolans.
Yeah, but there was an age difference in this one.
Yeah, but who wins in a fight?
Me versus the...
No, eight Kevin Nolans or Fernando Torres.
Eight Kevin Nolans does some damage, mate.
If you're playing like Pokemon with them,
you've won, haven't you?
But if you're playing footy stickers,
then you've lost.
Yeah, Etta's getting into it.
She doesn't know who anyone is.
Into footy?
Into the Panini swappables.
Someone at school's got some i think she's asked um laura if she can have a packet and she's got like six and she's dead
into it i mean i need to buy some today actually she'll be into it there's all kinds like you can
buy them for like fucking like kitchenware these are the over a spoon right really do it for
everything though yeah is that just adult life, collecting kitchenware?
No, but I mean, like, they've got stickers for everything.
Like, a cartoon's got, like, Dexter's Lab's got stickers and shit like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fucking rinse the kids.
Everything's just being merchified.
And subscriptionified.
But also, subscribe to our Patreon.
Yeah, but subscribe to our Patreon.
Also, we've got stickers coming out.
Have you seen what's happening in Walmart in America? Go out. Have you seen what's happening in Walmart in America?
Go on.
Have you seen what's happening in Walmart in America?
So they're doing a thing called Walmart Plus.
It's $98 a year.
And you now need that to use the self-service checkout.
And they're getting rid of some of the self-service checkout
because apparently big supermarkets have figured out
that the reason they put self-service checkouts in was
to save money on labor force because they were like well we can get rid of members of staff
but it's actually costing them more than it's saving them because so many people are stealing
so they've figured out that the way to sort of recoup that is to take some of the self-service
checkouts away and charge a subscription of 98 a year to be allowed to use them if you don't have
that you'll have to go to a mandolin what the fuck do you know though no it it it sounds horrific now
but i remember when amazon prime came out i was like who the fuck is giving these cunts like
eight quid a month and now it's like it's the easily the best thing that I give money to
just because of how much easier it makes.
It's the same thing you never had before.
Yeah, I understand.
But the way they just sort of,
that's the first time that's been done
and it sounds fucking horrific.
But in five, six years,
there's a chance that everyone's like,
yeah, it's just what you do.
I'd rather go to the woman.
If I can go to the person,
I will always go.
Yeah,
but if there's a queue of loads of people
and like,
that's the thing,
I would rather go to a woman.
If I've got more than a basket,
I don't want to go to self-service.
Or a man.
But I would rather go to the person,
but there's always a queue of fucking old people going,
I don't know buttons.
You know what I like.
By the way,
if there's a choice of a woman and a man as a till person in
a supermarket i'm going to the woman i'm telling you right now and this is might be the most
actually offensive thing i've ever said on this podcast the women are always just sound older
women they want an easier life and a nice job and the men are the thickest pieces of shit you've
ever met in your life. They're just stupid.
They're all, like, young, stupid men.
And I'm not even having a go at them.
They've found their calling,
because they can go, boop, and it's fine.
And some people have to do that.
And I'm not even, like, sort of trying to sort of talk down,
but they're thick, and that's fine.
Some people are stupid, and we need jobs for stupid people.
But the women who work there aren't that.
They're not.
There's a Polish woman in the park road, Tesco,
and she's fucking amazing.
If I can go to her, I will.
I'll wait longer to go to her. All the women on the hills
can hold a really long, interesting conversation.
They'll chat to you and be like,
are you all right, babe?
What have you been up to?
Have you been playing footy?
No, you just got your shorts on.
Oh, yeah.
What have you been up to?
Like the chatty,
the lads are just like,
ugh,
bag,
one bag,
give bag.
This woman.
Wow.
When I was buying.
The missing link is on the tiller,
Asda.
I was buying Wallace's puppy pad,
doing his puppy.
I was buying two packs
and she went,
do you know,
you can get a big,
two packs,
two packs.
You can get a big one for less.
And I went,
oh,
I've got all my stuff here.
And I'll go,
I'll run off the tiller when I got it for me in a busy Tesco went, oh, I've got all my stuff here and I'll go. I'm running off the till
and I'm going to got it for me
in a busy Tesco.
Yeah,
sometimes they've got some
that just runs around
as the fixer.
Carol on the till goes,
hey,
fucking Phil.
And Phil goes,
shit.
Phil on the till.
Phil on the till.
Only his two pack's
not on the till.
Like self-service
when it goes,
meh,
it's not registering.
And then you've got an energy drink,
so someone needs to put the fucking little log in.
Oh, I hate it.
Yeah, it is annoying.
So you would rather go to a person, but I'd rather not kill.
I'm not paying, though.
If Tesco go to one in a year, I'm just shoving up your bottle.
If Tupac's on the till, I will always go to them.
I'll be like, well, hidden there.
Who knew?
Everyone thinks you're dead.
It says on his thing, though.
You're working in Tesco.
Tupac and underneath.
Shh.
Shh.
Shackle.
Tupac shackle.
And that, ladies and gents, is a section.
Bye-bye.
That was fucking good, that, wasn't it?
It didn't have the s though, because it's a Rio.
Rio.
For the audio listeners, that was a can of Rio being opened.
Hey, and for the audio listeners, I'm drinking can of Rio being opened. Hey, and for the audio
listeners, I'm drinking the cola flavour
of Sneak that they've brought out, which is
phenomenal. Use code
WORD10. Is that right?
You don't shut up about Sneak, do you?
It's reinvigorated my love
of the fucking Sneak.
Mmm. Sneakers.
Alright, Sneak.
This is really reinvigorating my love of this brand. No no mist I love that for when you're in the shop
you walk around the go use code with yeah yeah yeah do that's we do some
question Brad Jones says I wish I could explain sees what that does to me you
know it's it's so I'm like a siren but now we've I've got
a question
because obviously
you interrupted
oh by the way
before we do some prep
I thought
you know
I haven't really updated you
when I went to therapy
yesterday again
oh what's going on
is it
I think yesterday
I took a defeat
you know
oh
yeah
oh god
came out
I found something out
about myself
because every
time i leave therapy i feel like i leave me leave knowing myself a bit better in a good way i'm like
ah and yesterday uh i left feeling uh like i knew more about myself and understood myself better but
you don't know what the fix is oh you've got some questions about yourself. Yeah. Yeah.
Turns out I'm putting women on a pedestal.
No.
Are you?
Are you?
Are they too high to go?
I don't think that is the vibe of what...
I think there's women that listen to this podcast that will not be convinced.
Not all women.
No, the women at Asda, they're on a different level.
Stupid cunts.
Fuck you.
Brother.
This isn't a high pedestal, though.
It's quite low.
It's low, yeah.
What?
Don't talk about pedestals.
Go on.
Right, so who have you been putting on a pedestal?
Obviously, Amro.
She was a phenomenal woman.
Well, yeah.
It all goes back to your parents, doesn't it?
Yeah, I suppose so, yeah.
I need women to put me on a pedestal
whilst also I put them on a pedestal.
And it creates this horrible imbalance
where we both need to be looking up at each other
at the same time.
It sounds like gladiators.
Wow.
I want a fucking wolf.
You just need a pugilist.
I just want a brown cat.
I want a majesty real life.
I am on a pedestal.
You're on a pedestal.
Get a pugil stick
and have a fight
I've got fucking vertigo
wow
yeah
look you've got to celebrate
your victories
and your defeats
I'm just letting you know
I took a 2-1 loss yesterday
wow
right
so what
what do you mean
I know what we
I know you've said
what you
but I don't know what you mean
you're putting them
on this pedestal
you're just like
it's expecting too much of them you put them on you worship them you worship them until they do
your edding yeah right and then they fall off so i'm like piece of shit so you need to be so this
is what you're doing you're meeting girls and going fuck i really like you i think you're great
that's the mistake you're making that's a pedestal you want to meet a birdie but you're bang average and you're slightly doing my tits in future wife and i'll be honest it's opened up a whole world of
ladies you know oh yeah this is gonna be great get him off the pedestal and everyone's an option
look at that woman scratching herself on the street corner she's an she's an option so is
your pedestal the same height as theirs?
We haven't got that far into the conversation.
I was like, she wants a contracting job.
You need to build pedestals.
You don't actually know a guy.
No, she thinks it's a bad thing.
I shouldn't be pedestaling.
Oh, you shouldn't be?
No.
Because, like, when you put someone on a pedestal...
We are sponsored by pedestals
use code word 10
when you put someone on a pedestal but they don't know
the conditions with which they need to act
within in order to stay on the pedestal
they're up there going what am I doing up here
I never asked
to do this I hope
then they fall off
where do I shit I need a shit and I'm on a pedestal.
Yeah.
As soon as a woman poos off a pedestal,
you lose respect.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You never want to see that.
So what's the fix?
We haven't got one.
I need to stop it.
Stop liking women.
I'm laughing myself to go and suck some cock.
I'm gay.
Give it a go.
No, I'm not gay, but I need to be.
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you put Jack on a pedestal, you see?
I do, he's great.
Yeah, he's great.
And he's your mum.
God, it's complicated, isn't it?
I do get that, though.
Stop giving high expectations,
but not telling them what they are.
And then when you break them,
go and get angry at them,
because they don't even know what they've done wrong.
I think a lot of them do know what they've done wrong.
No, there's some of them, yeah.
But you put Serica on a pedestal.
I used her as an example yesterday.
She thrives on that pedestal. You've got her on a pedestal
and she's got you on one,
but yous haven't fell off because yous have done a very
good job of communicating the conditions
of your pedestals.
All boundaries and stuff are very
important. I've got Laura on a
small step, you know,
and she's never let me down because she's being naughty
she's on the naughty step
ooh that's Ted you wanna do it
you're being naughty

wah
ah if she did that to me
during sex

every time you try and fuck her
she does that
Laura can we have sex no you're a dirty man go and sit on the naughty step you can't She does do that. Every time you try and fuck her, she does that.
Can we have sex?
No.
You're a dirty man.
Go and sit on the naughty step. You can't.
No.
That's me wanking at the bottom of the stairs, isn't it?
Would you like dirty man or dirty boy?
Because dirty man sounds like a perv, doesn't it?
Boy.
Yeah.
Dirty little four-year-old.
No, don't specify that.
Don't specify that.

But it hurts because it's real.

No, what I wanted is to keep it in the-
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The dining room is now a-
She's turned it into a classroom.
She's got glasses on.
She's got like a pencil skirt.
She's got a chalkboard.
I've talked myself into it.
I'll give her the fucking TTD. She's got an interactive whiteboard. She's gone all out. She's paid loads of money. She's got a chalkboard. I've talked myself into it. I'll give it a fucking TTD.
An interactive whiteboard.
She's gone all out.
She's paid loads of money.
She's got a chalkboard.
She's got today's days at the top of it.
And Karl Marx written as the title.
How am I?
We're studying communism.
Wow.
I'm a bit of a lefty,
but that is.
So you walk in and she's like,
where have you been?
You're late.
Sit down,
you naughty little toddler. give me a manifesto no you okay oh child they don't see the head teacher
you're right she's hired a man in the bedroom to be the head teacher oh and he's going to teach
you how to give out so there's a bloke upstairs role playing as the headmaster and he sucks me
off because he didn't understand what was going on
a child would walk into a classroom and go fuck yeah
you'd sit down and be good wouldn't you
I'd be very good but are you telling me you wouldn't just
immediately go oh this is a big sex game
let's get involved well now I would
now that we've played it out yeah
to be honest it was the pencil skirt and glasses and I'm sold
but there is a man upstairs
nothing else but there's a man upstairs
he's the head teacher
what the fuck
we're taking this role play
everyone's nervous
because Ofsted's coming
oh it's
it's wet break
Dan
who's that at the door
it's Ofsted
Ofsted's here
Jesus Christ
I'm just trying to jizz on something
wet break
I mean
do you remember how nervous
teachers got with
Ofsted by the way
where they would be
begging children
just please just don't be a cunt today right kids Do you remember how nervous teachers got with Ofsted, by the way? Where they would be begging children.
I live with one. Just please, just don't be a cunt today.
Right, kids.
We told you about this last week.
I live with a teacher.
Yeah, it's the Spanish Inquisition for fucking educators, isn't it?
It's awful.
Do you know what Ofsted do wrong, though?
Do you know what Ofsted do wrong?
Is when they pull up in the car, they play from the speakers.
Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun,
dun,
dun.
I think they're adding to it.
And everyone thinks they're getting married.
Imperial March.
Ofsted's awful,
by the way.
Did you see their head?
This is,
I don't know why we've gone here.
I was jizzing.
I was jizzing to the Communist Manifesto
literally a minute ago.
And now we're like,
hey guys,
my heart goes out to teachers though.
Dan,
you know,
that was just sexy. But Ofsted, these homies are real i had to kill myself didn't she because the school
got a bad um got put into um special measures and thanks for that though carl yeah i'm glad
i know it though i'm glad i know that they're having to change how they act now because they
literally put the fear of God into these people
who spend their lives
looking after their children.
So it's softened up,
Ofsted.
They're saying they are,
but they still go,
oh, we'll come whenever we want,
like surprises.
But we'll be nice about you.
Maybe not.
Yeah, it's fucking awful.
Ofsted, if you're listening,
fuck off.
But what's the alternative?
No, there isn't.
There isn't an alternative,
but there's a better way
to do it.
Those poor former teachers.
That's what i mean
by alternative car oh i thought you meant like oh um just less stringent measures and like
more like blame the school not the individual people like teachers are getting blamed for
like um like what's not malpractice but like not hitting standards yeah when they've when they're
having to do other things around the outside that that is mean they can't hit them.
Stop giving them impossible expectations
when they're impossible.
Oh, you haven't met that?
We can't, can we?
Unless we're working.
But does it not do good?
Usually schools are put into special measures.
Don't they then get rejuvenated?
I can see all the...
Obviously, my mates are moving and checking schools
and it used to be in special measures,
but now they've had an amazing head teacher
and now it's doing really well.
But special measures means off-stake
are coming at any time,
which adds an insane level of pressure
on everyone again.
Right, yeah, I suppose so.
You can't really argue with the fact
if someone's killed themselves.
But, like, they're just trying to hold schools
to a standard, aren't they?
Because back in the day,
it was basically a bit,
like, it was different, wasn't it? Like, like old school teaching they did what the fuck they want it's all just
like box ticking oh and all these things tick yeah but all that matters is the kids are getting
taught and they're not because i'm having to tick your boxes well i think that's why i'm on role in
the role play tick my box right okay well cuba i'm there with the teachers mate absolutely
NASUWT mate
my mum's teachers union
never understood what it was
but she got a free diary
from Nazawat
that one as well
is it?
yeah she gets like the big things
in the post
my mum was a great teacher
she was really good
they named the library
after her
after she died
my mum was a great drinker
they renamed Kelly's wines
and vodka
and vodka that would be unbelievable quite insensitive though after she died my mum was a great drinker they renamed Kelly's wine Vans vodka Vans vodka
that would be unbelievable
quite insensitive though
I'd be up for it
it's what she wanted
yeah
that's cool
I thought I'd be in the library
after your mum
that's so sick
yeah
she was a really good teacher
she loved it
yeah
I feel like they're a dying breed though
well mum died so
some of the jokes today have been good Yeah. I feel like they're a dying breed, though. Well, Mum died, so...
Some of the jokes today have been good,
but they've made me sad.
That was one.
I can't do... I set up such a silly question and it can't...
Do it.
You're dead, Mum.
Right, what about this?
Do it.
Do it.
I just wanted to...
Do it.
Let's do it.
From my dead mom teacher question um jake ellington says all right lids if you could have any of the following useless superpowers
my mom is at a library named after her and this is what i did for a job uh you've got to pick one
of these yeah we can have one each but we've got to argue one of these. Yeah, we can have one each, but we've got to argue over them, okay?
One superpower is you can speak exclusively
to farm animals, right?
Two, free gravel for life.
Three, duck-like web feet.
Getting free gravel for life,
is that a superpower?
That's humiliating.
If you can just make a pile of gravel
from nothing, like spider webs, yes. Give me a KFC, I'll make you a pile of gravel from nothing, like spider webs...
Give me a KFC.
I'll make you a pile of gravel in 45 minutes.
Muck.
As much as you want as well.
Three, duck-like web feet.
Four, you can control any toaster with your mind.
Five, super strength, but only when doing the big shop.
I want super strength.
I'm talking to farmyard animals.
When?
Tomorrow. Do they understand me?
Yeah.
No, hang on. Because otherwise
you can only do that cow, can't you?
That's the one then, isn't it? Hang on.
I think, number one.
I'd be a billionaire. Number one.
If you pick number one. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
How? Are the animals obeying me as
well? No. You can't.
I'd be like,
lad, don't dance over there.
And they're like...
And the cow would just look at you
and go, nah.
I'd be like,
I'll give you all a scoundrel whale.
And they're like, yeah.
Can the cow speak to him
or does he just...
Is that how he speaks?
I think cow can just get the vibe.
Oh, right.
I'd win Britain's Got Talent.
How?
I'd make them all dance.
Hang on.
I'd dance on Dogwood.
You can't force them to dance. You can dancing dog what am i you can't 50 dancing
you can just eat ugly pigs yeah our boxers are every skin on go and do that dance like well
maybe they can't dance though no but if they can't like force someone to be in twist and
point going lads i can't even do this i'm not good at choreography what are the five
pigs uh horses yeah i think farm animal you'd go to the Grand National
and fucking win them
wouldn't you
you'd say
listen lad
if you win this race
I'll blow your head off
and you'd say
that to all the horses
except for yours
and your horse wins
and you'd fuck a million
what kind of animal
would threaten a horse
from before
I'm gravel man
is that your catchphrase
free gravel for life
is it unlimited
I will fuck you up mate
you're chasing me
gravel
right in front of you
why am I chasing you
I don't know
because I'm a criminal
doing what
robbing banks
I'm replacing it

this gravel man
walks in your bank
and says hey

job at beasley and files get a job at beasley and files skim off the top rob it all and then just
refill it at the end of the day and you're making millions millions why why would you rob it all and then just refill it at the end of the day and you're making millions millions
why would you rob it
when you can just
no
people are coming in
and buying it
you pocket the money
refill the gravel
there's only gravel today
your pockets are full of cash
do you know
if you became famous
as gravel man
if you became
because obviously
if you start like Dan's Gravel
and people just drive up
and then they
and you go
Dan's Gravel
where
Gravel Man Gravel they come in they go hang on where's the name of your business isn't it Dan's gravel gravel man gravel

gravel man
I'll fuck you up, mate.
So you become famous for being the Gravel Man.
Who's that?
That's Gravel Man.
He just does gravel stuff.
Anyway, on a pint.
Britain's got talent.
It's a one trick thing, isn't it?
Like, oh my God, he can make gravel after a few weeks.
I was like, boring.
But there needs to be a caveat.
So yours, you cum gravel as well.
Oh God.
Yeah.
What?
Because every sort of superhero has that awful
yeah like their weakness that awful like twisted irony what what's like batman's weakness kryptonite
his mom and dad batman's weakness is kryptonite yeah famously yeah his weakness is that he won't
kill people isn't it superman but i don't think that's a weakness it is he won't go to batman's
weaknesses he's colorblind and he doesn't like chinese people i don't know i's a weakness. It is. He won't go too far. Batman's weakness is he's colourblind
and he doesn't like Chinese people.
I don't know.
I've read into it a lot.
He's weirdly racist about Chinese.
Lao, he does spatter him.
Superman's is kryptonite.
Iron Man's is big magnets.
And Gravel Man is...
Every bit of fluid that comes out of me is gravel.
Please don't make me cry
fucking hurts my eyes
what are you picking?
I can't remember what I said
super strength
but only when you're doing
doing the big show
carrying bags from Tesco
even to your car
is a nightmare
I just push the shop
into my car
you can just carry your car around
and just put the shopping
into the car
oh my god
look at him
with a Range Rover
in the fucking...
Vagile.
I'm a little bit tired.
Our mouths don't work.
We had like four people in my year who had webbed feet.
If I had webbed feet, I'd be up Thong Woman's house.
Isn't that Wigan?
Skelmersdale.
It's Wigan, though, isn't it? No. Ormskirk, Wigan? Skelmersdale. Ormskirk. It's Wigan though, isn't it?
No.
Ormskirk, Wigan, Skem.
You can't tell me they're not all Wigan.
Ormskirk's got an L postcode.
What?
Ormskirk's got an L postcode.
Oh my God.
Why did you say that to these?
You might as well go,
it's the centre of all wool.
Ormskirk.
Oh, that's clever.
You are.
It's like Ormskirk. If you're from. Oh, that's clever. You are. It's like Gormske.
If you're from a different part of the world,
these are all the places where WebV would not be a massive shock.
That was a great question.
Why do you love Wigan then?
I'm a Wigan fan.
And Carl spread a rumour that I live in Wigan.
I mean, I do now, but when he said it, I didn't.
Do you?
I do now, yeah.
But you've not...
It's a self-fulfilling
prophecy
you've not made me
live in Wigan
you do live in Wigan
my mum has moved
to Wigan now yeah
but when you said
I've got a little Wigan
what a great sign
your mum's moved
to Wigan
so hang on Harry
born and raised
in Ormskir
born in
so I've never
born in Brighton
born in Brighton
but
yeah
born in Brighton
but I don't remember
Brighton grew up in
Skem and Parble
you got fucking
mugged off there kid
I know
born in one of the best
Parble's very Wigan
yeah
but Parble's like old
and then moved to Ormskirk
no
I just went to school in Ormskirk
but I lived in Skem
but your heart was always Wigan
even in Brighton
when you were born
they were like
this one's not for you
and I just loved
Maynard Figueroa oh good player halfway land golf okay what a sad collection of places to live
and breathe well now i live in berskow basically got a wolf yeah someone messaged me and a freddie
quinn gig yeah lucky lady someone messaged me the other day saying they saw me walk past a school in
berskow and were worried for the children because i looked quite unwell uh and he meant it as a compliment
i mean why is he looking at the school he was he was across the road with exactly
binoculars and he was like oh my god that's how your mom lives in wigan now now yeah of course
your mum doesn't wiggle oh you sound so ill
time
time
cold and flu
Adam
Greg says
what's happening Lids
I've got a bit of a situation here.
I've been seeing my missus
for the best part of three years
and honestly,
it couldn't be any better.
She lives at her place with her kid.
I've got my gaff to myself
because my kids are both well-grown.
We've maintained this beautiful state of affairs
for ages
and now my missus wants to move in together
and honestly,
I love it a bit,
but I don't want to.
I think we've cracked it
and this whole living separately thing
could be the way forward. Am I right um you've got to do it eventually i lived apart from selica for
11 years and that was great but now living together is even better so he doesn't know
what he's missing does he do you have to i mean i know everyone thinks you have to
but if you've got it sound and you've had three good years
and it's obviously second time round for both of you.
What's the end goal?
Just think, to have a very happy relationship
where you're like, what do you want to do this week?
I'll see you Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
Brilliant.
I don't think you have to.
I know, but like, I don't know.
It just feels like cohabitating.
Did you say they've both got kids?
She's got a small kid and his are grown.
I think it's all right.
But I think you have to have a conversation
and get on the same page
because you're not being honest with each other.
Well, you're not being honest with her.
She's like, I want to move in
and you don't know how to tell her that you don't.
But you need to sit with her and go,
you need to have this conversation with her.
I know that we shouldn't be telling people
not to write into us
and to just talk to the people in their lives,
but you need to sit her down and go,
look, I actually think we've got this pretty sweet
and I'm worried that us moving in together
might ruin it a bit, so.
I think he might've had this conversation with her already
and now he's like, she still wants to.
I think he wants some fucking backup.
Like we're going to be like, listen,
play her this.
Well,
they're not meant to be together then,
are they?
They don't want the same things.
I don't know,
but if everything's great,
literally,
everything's great,
they're dead sound.
No,
no,
but you compromise.
You don't have to want
exactly the same thing
as all the time.
No,
no,
but everything's not great
because she's asking him to change
and he's not,
so everything isn't great.
But this is the only thing,
it sounds like this is the only sticking point.
So I think...
Three years.
And honestly, it couldn't be any better.
He's going,
hey, this is fucking mint.
And she's like,
yeah, it is mint.
But we should move in together.
So it could be better.
Stop asking.
She wants other things, doesn't she?
He thinks it's great,
but she doesn't want what they've got.
So it isn't great.
She just wants to take it to the next level.
Yeah.
So just speak to her and go, how about this? I'll come and stay with you for a month, but I doesn't want what they've got, so it isn't great. She just wants to take it to the next level. Yeah. So just speak to her and go,
how about this?
I'll come and stay with you
for a month,
but I'm keeping me gaff.
We'll see how,
we'll do it on like
a trial basis.
First time round,
I can see it.
I can see it.
You're in the first time round.
Of course.
If you and Sarah
could get down the road
and it's not worked out,
I'm telling you right now,
if me and Laura didn't work out,
she put me on the naughty step
too many times,
I would be like, this is my gaff. That's yours. I'm not you right now, if me and Laura didn't work out, she put me on the naughty step too many times, I would be like, this is my gaff, that's yours.
I'm not fucking doing, I'm not going back
and doing like the 2.4 kids again.
Fuck that.
But you can consolidate your two hours and have a bigger house.
Yeah, but then, what if you split up
and then you've got to consolidate with a big old splitage?
I know that's a bit negative way to think about it.
I just, I think everyone can make their deal.
And like, if it works,
I think that thing of like, we should live together
just because every other cunt does,
doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
That's what she wants.
It doesn't matter what's right.
It's what she wants.
And she's not going to see a future in the relationship
if she can't move on to that next level.
She needs convincing, doesn't she?
Just like, you know, change her mind.
But you're putting those caveats in there, aren't you?
No, she is.
No, she's not.
She is.
She's going, I want to move in.
You're going, and she said she'll kill herself and everyone.
If she doesn't, hang on.
She's just going, I think we should move in.
But you've just said you've had the conversation.
You didn't convince her and it's still there.
To be fair, I'm projecting he's not said that.
But I don't I think honestly
make your deal
it doesn't have to look like
everyone else's deal
whatever is working
is a good thing
what a shame it would be
is if they moved
in together
and it just wasn't as good
and you're like
oh well you weren't meant
to be together
you're like
well it was flying
I don't know
I just
I don't know what the end goal is
what the 70
live in different houses
I grew up in two houses I'm fine I mean my parents you're not you don't know I just I don't know what the end goal is what the 70 live in different houses I grew up in two houses
I'm fine
I mean my parents
you're not
you don't even know
where you're from Harry
you think you're from
some part of West Lancashire
that you're not even
I just don't know
what the end goal is there
yeah to live separately
as an old age couple
that'd be brilliant
just doddle around
to each other
I'm coming
I'm coming round for you
Miriam
at one point they can't
because one of them's
bed bound or something and they all live down the road fuck you god you're then you can move in together
and go now it makes a lot more sense oh he's such a romantic of course i want to live together
who's going to care for me later on i think he needs to have a chat with her and be like
i don't think this is the best idea and we should do it on a trial basis and let me keep me flat
while we're trying it out and then maybe he'll change his mind maybe she'll change hers
but
yeah
I agree with Dan
this is from Anonymous
it says
alright lids
can you keep me anonymous
it's from Jake Garrett
the wife keeps suggesting
I start going to the gym
with her brother
as he's really motivated
and there all the time
only he's not actually
going to the gym
I find out through a friend,
he's having sex with several men multiple times a week.
Why is he telling you this?
I brought it up to him in private.
I brought it up to him in private and he went red.
He's begging me.
I can't read it.
Brought it up to him in private and he went red.
He's begging me not to throw him in the deep end.
Not sure how to handle this.
I feel sorry for his girlfriend,
but it's also
none of my business.
What should I do?
Nothing.
Can I just...
Listen,
this is very...
I know,
listen,
I've said
don't call bullshit,
but can I?
Because I read it out
going,
come on, bro.
No, I don't think this is necessarily bullshit.
Yeah, men can have sex at bed, Dan.
Yeah.
2024, Dan.
No.
Gays are rampant.
Yeah, they're everywhere.
There you go.
Sounded progressive until that statement.
They're fucking everywhere
and they're allowed to vote.
I didn't say that.
No, I don't either.
I think they should be allowed to vote.
I'm bummed.
Not at the same time.
The booze would be disgusting.
Full of shit.
Nice, Carl.
Nice.
There you go.
Filling the gaps.
That's what they did.
With the cocks.
With the cocks.
Anyone else?
In the ass.
Sex.
Man.
Bummer.
Voting.
Let's get the Tories out of your ass.
I don't know.
I think tell her

so the lad who's wrote in
it's his missus's brother
who's bumming all the men

we don't know whether
he's a postman
or a letterboxer
at this stage
tell your sister or if he's a Tory Labour he could the men. We don't know whether he's a postman or a letterbox of the same.
Tell your sister.
Or if he's a Tory, Labour.
He could be Lib Dem.
I don't know who he's voting for.
Tell your sister.
What?
Tell his own sister who's got no skin in the game at all.
No, tell his bed.
God, do you want me to read it again?
Because I don't think you've got any.
What?
Parbold?
Right, so his sister her brother
no
his
his missus
has got a brother
and he's shagging men
and apparently
he's been lying about
going to the gym
this has all been said
before Carl
tell her
tell her
tell your missus
why
funny innit
set the camera up
say yeah
do you know what
we'll all go to the gym together
we'll follow you there but don't tell him that and then just walk in and I'm sh up say yeah do you know what we'll all go to the gym together we'll follow you there
but don't tell him that
and then just walk in
and I'm shagging seven
do you know what
just here's how you find out
it's not true
what she thinks about it
without telling her
right
you just watch
an episode
of some sort of
LGBTQ plus
like
TV show
queer life of the straight guy
put that on Netflix
with your message
be like
I wanted to watch this for ages
Queer as fuck
20 years ago
Cash in the Attic
no they re-released it
a few years ago
yeah
I wanted to watch this for ages
Points of View
I wanted to watch this for
shut up
and then
just like
about
20 minutes into
episode 3
nice
wow
just pause it and go
hey babe
you know if you found out
your John
wasn't really going to the gym
and was instead bumming men
or getting bummed by men
several times a week
Don't say the gym bae
Don't say the gym bae
Why?
I think she'd get on to it
No
Yeah but you need
She's going to sniff something out though
Hey I'm just going to pause this
Imagine if your John
was getting bummed a bit
What do you think? Yeah If I found if your job was getting bummed a bit.
Would you think?
Yeah.
If I found out your job was getting bummed several times a week by different men,
would you want me to tell you?
No.
Oh, there's somebody then.
Absolutely not.
Great.
Why don't you... Back to queer, I'm a straight guy.
Why don't you just play this whole section and see what she says?
I'm not asked.
I wouldn't want to know.
I don't know how he's getting those fucking laughs.
That's how you do it.
Also, where's he going?
Is there like a gay gym?
He's not going to the gym.
No, but nobody's going to places that get bummed.
Yeah, probably other men's houses.
Oh, yeah.
That's allowed as well now.
What do you think?
There's just a big gay fuck park?
There is.
Saunas, isn't it?
He's saying several men.
Apparently the sauna's like...
The sauna's on Old Hall Street.
Gay saunas. In Manchester,
in the village. And they're reasonable as well.
I'd know a chef who used to go there after work.
Genuinely.
French one?
Yeah. You're not getting a back massage.
Le gay.
Oh.
He wasn't a chef. Oh no no he wasn't was he have we told him that can we tell him no we can't oh god no i know a chef and he was a homosexual man and
he'd go to the baths after work and it was just like each room was different saunas and just
by the way if you're into it sounds sounds fucking awesome. Yeah. Sounds awesome.
Doesn't it?
There's a gaffe in town, is there?
Yeah, there's loads of girls in there.
Is it like as hot as a normal sauna?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You go in with a towel,
and someone will say,
nice dick, can I suck it?
Yeah, hey, coach, go.
Just get me fucking steam room in.
Yeah.
And then nosh.
They're just welling each other.
It's amazing.
That sounds great.
I stand by my advice
by the way
that's how you bring it up
clear eye for the straight guy
really on the nose
oh like nobody
whatever she says
you then know what to do
I think she'd know either way
I'm getting wellied
no but like
will she though
like will she
this lad's got a beard
she's probably
this is probably the
furthest thing from her mind.
That's why I'm saying put a gay programme on.
Because then it's not like you're bringing her up
because of her brother.
You're bringing her up because there's gays on the telly.
Yeah.
Because she was there and that.
You're not thinking about them otherwise, are you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because you've got to be careful.
If that wasn't on the TV, it would be too suspicious.
What do you want in your sandwich, love?
Ham, cheese?
Yeah, yeah.
What would you do if your John was gay?
What?
Yeah, yeah. It would be a shock. Yeah, you need a gay programme. Totally. What would you do if your John was gay? What? Yeah, yeah.
It would be a shock.
Yeah, you need a gay programme.
What do you think queer eye would do for you?
I think they'd probably say,
get my back hair lasered off.
Start getting some more sunbeds.
Yeah, I am.
And just probably do some lat pull-downs.
No, I think he means dressed.
Yeah. And probably wear shoes that are bought by my mate. No, I think he means dressed. Yeah.
And probably wear shoes that are bought by my mate.
Whoa, I bought them.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah, probably how I dress.
Yeah.
Less denim.
Yeah.
Less denim.
Less denim.
Less denim.
No, everyone's going to want to fuck you.
You've got Amanda Holden.
Who?
Amanda Holden. You've got Amanda Holden. Who? Amanda Holden.
You've got Amanda Holden.

No, we don't.

It's me.
How are we?
I'm fantastic.
Thank you.
Absolute pleasure and privilege to be asked to come on.
Oh, it's the same though, isn't it?
Because when you're a comic, there's comics that you're like,
yeah, proper fucking comic.
Even the cab driver knew where we were going.
Oh, that's great.
Did you get a card from the train station?
My mate and support actor with me, Sam, he said,
this is where we're going to do Have a Word.
He went, oh, what, what, what? You're on it, are you? He went, no, no, no, do have a word he went oh what what you're on it oh he went no no no jeff there what your celebrity are you so obviously
it's known as a podcast that has celebrities on oh and i'm one of them yeah yeah we've had four
did you get a cab from the train station yeah we? Yeah, we weren't... Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Cockneys, Cockneys!
That's fucking mental.
No, the first time I came to Liverpool and I was lost and wasn't sure I had to get to Hotwater,
two coppers in uniform, right?
I don't know why I asked them.
It was against my principles to ask them,
but I was a bit lost.
Big scum.
And I went, mate, I'm trying to get to Hotwater.
Do you know what it is
we're going in that direction walk with us
so I had to walk in between
two uniform old bill for about
half a mile everyone looking
obviously thinking I was a grass
not a good look
is it? Do you think you look like a grass?
Do you think that's what they do?
No I don't
That big one's really undercover Do you think you look like a grass? Do you think that's what they do? A grass that's just paraded them round? Come on, we're going for a walk now.
That big one's really undercover.
It's always eventful when I come to Liverpool.
You can't just get off the train and go to the hotel
without something happening.
And the last time I was here, left the hotel,
a bloke walked past.
As soon as I got out, he went,
oh, there's a dead body down there, mate.
Dead body.
Watch where you walk.
What do you mean?
He went after he jumped off the car park.
He said, I put a bit of tarpaulin over him.
And I'd got there before the police or anyone arrived
and there's just a dead body.
And he's just going to work as if that was like
his normal Sunday morning thing.
So Liverpool, it's a full-on place.
But what's he meant to do?
If you get to a dead body and there's a bit of tarpaulin,
you pull it over, you call the busies
and you make sure you're not late for work.
Yeah, he did the decent thing.
When there's a dead body,
mess with the crime scene.
That's what I'd do.
Is that what you do?
Get a bit of DNA on there.
Leave a bit of jizz.
Fuck your crime scene.
Give the man a bit of dignity.
He's lying on fucking
Renshaw Street
with his hair covered
in his own shite.
He's jumped off a car park.
Exactly.
It's the way he just
casually accepted
that there's a dead body
this morning.
Yeah, it happens.
It's usually Wednesdays with the fucking dead bodies.
Where are they getting the tarpaulin from you?
What?
Where are you getting the tarpaulin?
It's just there.
Sometimes people,
sometimes the tarpaulin next to his dead body
and you go, do you know what?
He's jumped off with one to be nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, he was actually trying to parachute.
But there's always something I get.
I stayed in that Adelphi
thinking it was posh.
I didn't know though.
You don't know do you?
There's a few things
about Liverpool
that are posh in London
but not posh in Liverpool.
The Adelphi sounds posh.
Kensington for example.
It's big,
it's grand isn't it?
Yeah.
Can I tell the TV show
in Kensington?
Kensington sounds so great.
In London that's a really
grand posh place.
I didn't know.
Got a hotel there,
I didn't know. It looked cheap. What hotel were you in in Kensington? That is a really grand posh place i didn't know got a hotel there i didn't
know it looked cheap what hotel were you in that is a rough place even was it even for me even for
me i thought whoa but isn't any hotels in kenny i've stayed in adelphi i've stayed in kensington
there's been dead bodies you get offered cocaine in the hotel prostitutes everything before you
know you haven't even been off the train for five minutes. Why are you sounding like this is not like your perfect place?
Geoff, you're a beacon for a lot of this naughtiness, by the way.
I don't think this is a normal civilian's experience.
I think the nutters see you, find you and gravitate.
I must have thought this boat was going to be at home with all this shit.
That's what's happened.
So TK Maxx, Sunbed, I do the whole thing when I'm here. Dead Maxx Sunbed I do the whole thing
when I'm here
dead bodies
really
I do the whole theme
oh you get involved
when in Rome
yeah yeah
that's right
yeah totally
Sunbed straight away
line of Charlie
as soon as I get off the train
cat wig
yeah
just get on it
Jeff do you know
what a cat wig is
a cat wig
yeah
every now and then
we have a guest on
and we teach them
some scouse slang.
Right.
Is it,
do people lose their hair
if they take too much ketamine
and they have to wear a ket wig?
Is that what it is?
It's not far away.
It's the opposite really,
isn't it?
It's actually the exact opposite
but you saw them
in the right area.
Oh, okay.
So there's a lot of like,
in Liverpool,
about sort of 15,
20 years ago,
it was,
it became short back and sides was just, that was the thing ago, it was short back and sides.
It was just, that was the thing.
Everyone had a short back and sides.
And then there was like a revolution about five, six, seven years ago now.
And all the kids have got really long, bushy hair.
You know what happened?
What?
A lad I know who's a Scully told me,
one dead hard Scully grew his hair and no one had said anything to him.
So they all just grew their hair with him.
That's what happened.
Sick, he's like the Jennifer Aniston of Scouse Vag.
That's how he sees himself.
Bradley told me that.
Is that where she got the idea from?
Oh, Bradley.
Yeah.
He told me and I was like, yeah, you're not lying.
He's like, yeah, some dead hard kid did it,
so we all did it.
Yeah, but I think with Liverpool, you suit it.
Even though you are so cocky.
If you go
name a cockney
comedian on the
like in comedy
I go
yeah it's Geoff innit
I
Jesus
it's kicking off
he's a fucking what
um
it's another dead buddy
falling into the ground
it's Woody
I think you
I think
in Liverpool
a lot of
London based comics
come up and go
oh god we're in Liverpool and I think you suit it even though you're so different I think it Liverpool, a lot of London-based comics come up and go, oh, God, we're in Liverpool.
And I think you suit it.
Even though you're so different, I think it's the same working class.
Yeah, a lot of it's very similar.
You know, a lot of the place names are similar to East London.
And it's a very similar culture, I think,
certainly to my own personal East London culture.
Are you still living in the East?
I am, yeah.
You're not gentrified?
It's been gentrified, but I'm still there holding there holding out you know like those farmers that won't sell their house and
all the motorway gets built across their garden i'm like that i've kept it going the old ghetto
going while they're building around me but i can't afford to leave i can't afford to stay it's one of
those situations with that what are you gonna do but who knows after this podcast oh yes you'll be
you'll buy a house
in Kensington
I could stay in the Adelphi
all day long
is there much of like
the old garden
in East London
you know like the old
kind of Cockney geezer
still kind of
knocking about there
are you the last one
old school
I think
yeah they're
I think they
well actually
they move out to Essex
I don't know what the
Liverpool equivalent is
but they tend to move out a little bit
so they can carry on with that post-war way of life.
Formby, Moshley Hill.
Crosby.
The Weddell.
And they have pie and mash shops,
and they try and recreate an imagined life
that they had in the 1950s or 60s.
They sound more Cockney than people from the East End.
Yeah, they do, yeah, yeah.
Because they're trying...
It's like Runcorn, isn't it?
It's like John Bishop sounds super Scouse,
but wasn't he just raised in...
No, he doesn't.
It's like he's...
He sounds Scouse or non-Scoce, yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, I know you know the difference,
but it's like they're trying to sound...
Well, they called them Mockneys, didn't they?
If those people that have moved to Essex
and try and carry that on,
they're called Mockneys, aren't they?
So I'm guessing there's a Scouse equivalent.
Walls. Walls, yeah. Right, right. they? So I'm guessing there's a Scouse equivalent. Wolves.
Wolves, yeah.
Right, right.
There you go.
Everyone from the Whittles are Wolves.
And they don't sound more Scouse than me and Carl, do they?
No.
But there's a difference.
I'm over here, look.
But John Bishop, you do know me.
No, no, no.
Look over there.
There's the Liverbirds.
Oh, the Whittles.
Two of them.
Two of the Liverbirds over there.
You can see it all the way from Pimbo.
It's every fifth podcast.
The Wirral just has to get a kick in.
What we talk about, East London.
Yeah, fuck the Wirral.
Do you know what I will say?
And this is going to get me a lot of hate.
Right?
The Wirral accent on a girl is more attractive
than a proper Scouse accent on a girl.
Like, I'd take that on a girl.
Oh, no, I'm from over the water, me.
Put it in me arse.
Like, I'd take that any day of the week
than some fucking bootlehead.
Oh, no, fucking, I'm from Booney.
Put it in me arse.
I will tell you, if it ends up with put it in me arse,
I'll take any accent, genuinely.
She started with it.
Hello, I'm from the Whittle. Put it in me arse. It'll take any accent. She started with it. Hello, I'm from the middle.
Put it in my arse.
It's the second sentence.
All right, my lover from Bristol,
stick it right where it don't want to be.
I'll be into it.
I just think it's better.
I think it's softer.
It's more playful.
It's cuter.
You know, that's what you want.
You want a cute woman.
Do you like a little bit of cockney on the ladies?
Well, it's finished and said it
because I've got a new girlfriend.
Have you?
Yeah, yeah. because, yeah.
I mean, I've been married for a little while now.
Muscle tough.
And I've got a new girlfriend,
but she's really cockney.
I mean, she thinks I'm posh,
but she sounds like, when she speaks,
she sounds like an old sixes, east end gangster.
So things she says that might be sexually inviting
sound like threats, you know.
You'd be on the phone and she'd go,
I'm going to fuck you up when I see you next time.
And in another accent, that might sound quite sort of sexy,
but it's just frightening.
No, I don't think it does.
I don't think there's an accent on the player.
That's what she says.
I'm going to fuck you up the next time I see you.
To her, that's romantic.
She sounds great.
I'm going to break your collarbone. Child clock and everything, you know, proper working class. Oh, yeah, I think that's it. She sounds great. I'm going to break your collarbone.
Child clock and everything, you know, proper working class.
Oh, yeah, I think that's it.
Yeah, I know, I know.
A new King Kong lock.
That's how working class she is.
I want a woman that sounds like Ray Winston.
This is what I want.
Yeah, yeah.
Responsibly.
You told us then you've got a new girlfriend,
but you've been married for a while.
I have, yeah, yeah.
Are you still married?
No, no, no, no.
No?
No, no.
Okay, good job. That's all kosher don't worry i'm not this feels i don't want to be put into all i'm saying is i've got
a new girlfriend that's what i'm saying this feels very intrusive and let if you need this cut out
okay what is how i don't this is acceptable because i know some of your dating history like it yeah is she this sounds bad on a
white podcast this sounds bad is she is she white or is she west african no that's two different
concepts isn't it one's a color yeah sorry nationality yeah sorry is she black is the
question because because well she is yeah yeah okay cool all right but she's jamaican cockney lewisham south london
sort of style right because you've got a famous stand-up routine that went viral about having
i did yeah yeah uh i think it was the first thing that i had that went viral it was about
the way i look and uh i think i think the routine i've sort of stopped doing it because it went so
viral but then of course sometimes
people ask you to do jokes they go you didn't do that joke but it's jeff it's the one that people
if you go fucking jeff's great because jeff's reputation is phenomenal in stand-up like as a
we we talk about murderers don't we jeff's a murderer and it's what okay yeah we're jeff
that's got maybe um but it's the bit i think it's the comics it's not that
it's not that easy if you have a black wife when you look like me there's certain things you might
take for granted in a relationship that we can't do sadly because of the way i look ordinary stuff
like i couldn't chase her down the street and that was a massive joke for me. What was the one about the guy going,
oh, you're still in the East End, Geoff?
Oh, yeah, that one is racists thinking I'm one of them
and being over-familiar and going,
hey, Geoff, you still living in East London?
And I go, yeah, I am, as a matter of fact.
What's wrong with that?
Well, you must be the only white person in East London.
And I go, mate, I'm the only white person in my fucking house.
Oh,
I love it.
So,
but,
but they were big jokes for me,
but it's funny when you love a joke,
isn't it?
And you have to let it go because it's been seen too much.
A hundred percent.
And it saddens me.
But then I've dropped those jokes for the tour because that's one of the big,
one of the big social media things,
but people come up afterwards and go,
oh, I brought someone to see you doing that
chasing your wife down the street joke.
But that's such a great,
that's the reason you've sold those tickets.
Yeah.
But then it would be awful to be on the stage
and have half the room go, oh yeah, we've heard that.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, there are one or two that I've let through
and I do warn them, and not warn them,
I do say, look, you know,
one or two of these you might've heard on Instagram, instagram but i because you don't want to end up being like your
favorite band that you're going to see in the guy guys we're not doing anything you've heard tonight
we're doing our new experimental stuff now you don't want to be like one of those those bands
no one needs the rolling stones but the very big ones i i don't do i think because they might still
like it but they're not going to laugh oh they're so you're touring now i mean you you're on the circuit for a long time it's like i've
done you do the point where you're like i was on the circuit for 18 19 years this kicked off
the last few years have been a bit different yes still gig on the circuit but that was
literally everything same for you are you are you you're touring now are you missing the circuit a
little bit i do a bit yeah but i i haven't but what we're doing rather nicely we're doing the tour up until the end of april and then we're
starting again in september so i can go back on the circuit and and um and get back yeah i do miss
the circuit i i it's a difficult one isn't it because i love doing our shows and i love
performing to audiences that love me and have come to see me, but I miss still being an unknown quantity
and winning them over and all of that.
Yeah, the sport of it is so much part of it.
Yeah, and also it's just the different discipline
of doing a 20 to doing an hour.
Yeah.
You know, I love hitting them over the head
with punchlines and tags in a sort of relentless way.
But with the hour, I've had to hold back a bit
and ease it out and be be more measured so i'm
learning that discipline because i'm not i'm not i'm not an experienced performer of our shows i'm
a club comic so for part of this tour i've had to learn how to do that to hold back you know because
i just want to kill them i just want to keep killing them all the time so um yeah also you're
slowly do you miss the dress because you're fun in a
dressing room like you're one of the more famous like dressing room antagonists well i think
dressing rooms where everything's a bit boring jeff comes in and it's not that you're starting
an argument but i literally see you go right these cunts are being boring yeah grenading
i got warned about you before i worked with you someone went someone went just keep your
eye on jeff because if he's in the mood it can feel like he's having a go at you but he's not
he's just testing i heard you said to justin morehouse before he went on at the comedy store
in london down from the north are you you're not going to talk about fucking greg's are you
i said no i said greg's and your nan nan that's what I said
so I gigged with you for the first time in Brighton
I've never met you and someone has said
be careful for him, he's not having a go
but if he's in the mood
just to entertain himself
he'll fucking like
whoever said that got it spot on
although it sounds
I saw you do it
I came off stage, I've just had a smasher in Brighton
and you went that's very good yeah very good i've got a few points i want to uh like just went i
want to ask about this bit and and the the other comics in the room went tense as if you were
having a go but i was like yeah no no i know what's going on that way because not everybody
sees it that way and it can sometimes become an argument which is not my intention and i wonder
if it's not just my personality but being an older older bloke, always being an older bloke,
like a dad type person.
But I didn't feel, also, on the way I was on the train home,
my phone rang from an unrecognised number and it was you.
And you rang me to go, I just want to say I've loved working with you.
I thought you were absolutely superb the whole weekend.
It's been an absolute pleasure gigging together.
What did you say? Like my old dad would say, you're good people It's been an absolute pleasure gigging together. What did you say?
Like my old dad would say, you're good people.
And I look forward to gigging you.
I literally put the phone down going,
I've been doing stand-up for maybe 12 years at that point.
I was like, that has never happened ever.
Well, it's nice of you to put that in.
Yeah, that makes me sound like a nice bloke.
No, it does.
Because I like it.
Basically, yeah, you've got to hold your own in the dressing room.
Yeah, dressing room fuck around. I think I'm warming up when I'm in the dressing room. Yeah, dressing rooms, I think. Those dressing rooms fuck around.
I think I'm warming up
when I'm in a dressing room.
I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I like to hit the stage running,
so as soon as I get in the dressing room,
I'm started.
Yeah, yeah, you want to have a laugh.
Are you a bit like that as well, Adam?
A little bit, yeah.
And like,
Justin Morehouse, by the way,
has passed down that to me.
Because the first time
I ever did an open spot
at the Manchester store,
before I'm going on,
I'm at the Manchester store
as a scouserer and I went to him
would you do us a favour Justin
just before, like when you
bring him here, don't tell him I'm an open
spot until after I'm done
because I feel like they lose a bit of faith
and I'd rather just be judged as a comic
and do us a favour, don't mention I'm from Liverpool
because like I think they'll kick off
and he went, I'm the compere of the Manchester
comedy store, you're not fucking telling me I was going to do my job and walk through the door to And he went, I'm the comp head of the Manchester Comedy Store. You're not fucking telling me.
I was going to do my job
and walk through the door to go on stage.
And I'm stood backstage waiting to do my first five.
Like, right?
I've just pissed off the guy from Phoenix Knights.
This is going in the fucking wall.
And he went on and just did exactly what I'd asked him to do.
He was just like, I've just been a dick.
Because when you're a comic and you do these little things,
it's not that you're testing people on purpose,
but you want to go, oh, you're a new young lad.
Let's see if you can handle it in here.
I think so, yeah.
Because it's not a fucking, like, this is a dressing room of a comedy club.
You have to be able to hold your own a little bit.
The best dressing rooms are the ones where you've got real fucking comics
having a joke, taking the piss.
No one's being a tri the piss no one's being a
triad no one's being like and they're great and it gets you i know when i i had two dogs and they
died very at a similar time and it was very sad and i went into the dressing room and i was really
feeling sad and one of the uh comics saying what's wrong java went uh well what's happening
my dogs died i had a dog i had him for 15 years he died and the other one died
of a broken heart
because that one died
and she went
you should open with that
and I thought
that's what you want
from a comedian
isn't it
that toughness
you don't need
actual comfort
from comics
that's not our job
our job is to just
say the worst
possible thing
to make everyone
else in the room
laugh
I think once you've been doing it a while,
that's the reassuring bit, isn't it?
When you're like, oh, this feels better.
Just getting cunted off a bit
rather than people like, oh, you're all right.
Yeah, I think you're right.
Dogs are so special, aren't they?
It's true.
Did you get any of that kind of ribbing
as someone who started old?
Did I get any?
Yeah, because you started when you were in your 40s.
Well, I was a bit older, really,
so not that much no
no no jeff yeah but you look terrifying you know i've got to know you probably saves me from a lot
actually looking at this a hundred percent you you got off the train station in liverpool in
camouflage combat pants and no one said anything to you i'm telling you right now if i if i if i
come in before with them on.
It'd be on Twitter before he got here.
If I turned up wearing those
through this podcast,
he'd end it.
He's got so little,
he's got so little respect.
No, but these are quite trendy ones.
They're Air Jordan.
Yeah.
Oh, are they, yeah?
It doesn't matter if they're not.
You know.
You're nailing it.
They're expensive.
I'm probably too old
for these sort of clothes,
but,
you know,
what can you do?
Fuck that.
You know,
what can I do so why why why
was it such a late start because you've obviously like you it's not like you learned how to do it
you were yeah i think most comedians that are any good are that way inclined before they do it
anyway aren't they in life but i don't think the opportunity arose i i was interested in doing it
I don't think the opportunity arose.
I was interested in doing it and I thought I could do it,
but I needed to earn money because I had kids.
So it had to come at a time where I didn't have anything to lose.
So what happened is in the late 80s and early 90s, I went to university as a mature student for five years.
So when that came to an end,
I didn't actually have a job or anything to do.
And it coincided with the time that Jongers had built
a load of comedy clubs.
So I could see how if I got into it, I could earn a living.
So that's probably, it was just waiting for the right time.
I had no idea that being 41 would be old though.
You know, I didn't realise that there was a,
because it's getting younger and younger, isn't it?
Yeah.
Certainly since I've been doing it
I was 20
he was 18
it's probably illegal
to be 41
and start doing comedy now
but I did a workshop
as well
which I really enjoyed
with Tony Allen
who died this year
I don't know if you
know who Tony Allen was
he was like one of the
architects of the whole
alternative comedy thing
so I did a workshop
with him
and that's how
I got started
and was doing it
within a year probably earning a living it was I got started and was doing it within a year
probably earning a living
it was different now
within a year I was probably earning a living
it didn't take me long but I didn't have many outgoings
that also helps
if you want to make a living
if you just need £180 a week
it's going to be a lot easier
did you have a load of other jobs before you did comedy?
no I was
before I went to university,
I was a window dresser in men's fashion.
What's that mean?
You got dressed in windows?
It means you go in windows and put clothes on dummies and all of that.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, yeah, that's what I did, I know.
To make it look like...
Yeah, to make it enticing.
I know.
What a mad job.
I did that for, did an apprenticeship,
did that when I left school, did that until, I did that for about 15 years, yeah.
You're never fucking dandy.
Yeah, definitely, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, mate.
Kings Road, Carnaby Street, all of that stuff.
Did you study fashion?
Fashion, yeah.
You studied fashion or did you just go into it?
Well, I mean, the apprenticeship is used,
you know, you don't go to university,
I was like an apprentice, like in a trade, you know,
where you're carrying the stuff
and learning from someone who does it.
But yeah, you learn lots of stuff,
but it wasn't college as such,
but it was still, you learn a lot of stuff about fabrics.
Carnaby Street in the 70s?
Well, 1970, I left school,
so that's when I was doing window dressing.
Yeah, it was like being in show business.
It was fantastic. It was a fantastic job. That's amazing. Yeah, it was, it was, well, it was like being in show business. It was fantastic.
It was a fantastic job.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
Were you also an undertaker?
No.
No, that's someone else.
But,
but I do know one if you need it.
You keep asking questions like that.
I do know one who needs private,
who does a bit of private work,
you know what I mean?
Harry does research on our guests,
you see,
and I think he's found something
that's interesting to him.
Yeah,
so I've got the-
I'll put a few people to sleep in my time
if that's what you mean.
I've got the jobs that I listened down,
that you're an undertaker,
that you're a chimney sweep.
Oh,
is that,
no,
what I did was,
I did a spoof autobiography once
Oh no
And you've fallen for it
No let me tell you
I did a spoof
One of them said that you played for West Ham
Yeah
Oh no
I thought anyone would see through that
I did a
I had a spoof autobiography where I thought,
let's just get every Cockney cliché
and put them all in the same thing.
So it was born in a workhouse,
born in a workhouse while my dad was being hung
at Highgate or Newgate Prison,
got deported to Australia,
joined a gang of pickpockets in Cockney, London,
who preyed on the rich.
He's never shagged Mary Poppins.
You weren't a driver for the craze then, no?
No, no, no.
That's what we say to somebody.
Oh, my God.
He's read the whole thing.
To be fair, it does say that you were a mature student,
you studied cultural history.
Yeah, I did do that.
Yeah, that's correct.
So I'm not off by a job.
Because that's not a cliche about people from the East End.
I even said
I even said
I was in the small faces
I thought
I've got to think of
every Cockney thing possible
you know what Cockneys are like
they've always got BA
we'll play for West End
cultural history
Joe for the craze
so what was it like
pretending to drive
for the craze
it was fucking dangerous
follow up question
but when I went to India
I went to India
when the comedy store
first went to India
this is prevalent
because we're going at the end of the year we're going to India so any advice well I went to India I went to India when the comedy store first went to India this is prevalent because we're going
at the end of the year
we're going to India
so any advice
well I went
well I went to India
with Don Wald
to do a promotional tour
of stand up comedy
because Don Wald
was opening the comedy
store in India
and can I just tell you
that while I was in India
I was in there
anyway we went there
and I
they found that
spoof biography
and when we got there on the found that spoofed biography.
And when we got there, on the front of a newspaper,
ex-child pickpocket becomes comedian.
Because they've got that kind of child poverty ghetto thing over there.
They bought into that whole me being a street kid.
One of us.
And being a pickpocket.
And they believed the whole thing.
And they were phoning me up to ask me to be interviewed about what was it like being a pickpocket and a child criminal and what did you do the interview in in india yeah they
were phoning up the hotel on a regular basis again can we speak to jeff because we want to do a story
about his his poverty ridden childhood he probably called you just unbelievable but while i was there
this was a when i was there yeah yeah well we were there at one easter i was there, this was a... While I was there... Yeah, yeah, while we were there one Easter,
I was there with a few of the old...
a few other Comedy Store gang.
We were walking around trying to get a drink in Mumbai.
And do you know they closed the off licences at Easter
because 200 years ago, the British,
who were their colonial masters, told them they couldn't drink.
And do you know they're still doing it?
So me and a few other Comedy Store veterans are walking around mumbai trying to get a drink being the victims of british
colonialism and all i could think was i could get a drink back home in east london at east
of 24 7 and off licenses run by indians but we could have got a drink because some geezer said,
come with me, I'll get you a drink down some alleyway.
But the others didn't want to go.
Oh, yeah.
I thought there's a few of us.
I've been to Marrakesh, the only beer we found.
He was like, come with my friend.
He was going, no, no, let's not go.
I'm going, come on, it's all going to be all right.
There's a few of us.
Also, if it goes wrong, it's a story, isn't it?
But so love being in India. India is just fantastic mumbai was just fantastic did the food make you shit no well i
because i i i think it's about spicy food i mean i think you will have problems if you eat food
off the street okay so that's what if you're eating food in the hotel okay which hasn't been rinsed in tap water
except you're okay but if you're used to eating spicy food you'll be okay if you're not
then you're probably gonna have problems anyway it's not about it being being dodgy it's just
about you your body not used to eating spice i can do a bit of spice apparently if you avoid the
meat and go for the veg options, that's even...
No, I'd never do that.
I think you're just being white about the whole thing, really.
I think you should just relax.
I'd be more Indian about it.
Well, yeah, just go over there and just relax about it.
What are you doing over there?
You're doing the podcast over there.
We're doing a 500-kilometre cycle.
You're what?
We're doing a 500-kilometre cycle. what? We're doing a 500-kilometer cycle.
For charity.
Oh, whoa.
In eight days.
Whoa.
So we're not just going to be in nice Mumbai hotels
paid for by Don Maud and the comedy show.
We are cycling all across the country.
It's in six days, though.
What Don Maud used to do as well is we used to do two weekends
and get to stay.
So you'd weekend, stay the whole week in some...
We stayed in the Taj Mahal uh hotel as well that
that one that got attacked by by terrorists a very posh hotel um so yeah it's a full-on brilliant
one of the best times I've ever had and the audiences get you but now what's happened like
a lot of these countries they've got their own comedians now yeah they're seeing a bit like hip
hop it's like hip hop when's this about 15 years ago you first went. I can't remember what it was.
Because now you see a lot of them on TikTok
and they're smashing it.
Yeah, they are.
They've always had a rich history of political satire in India.
So it doesn't surprise me that they've got stand-ups.
Where else is your favourite international pick
for gigging away?
Because you've done...
China.
Really?
The only thing with doing a gig in China
is you do a gig,
two weeks later,
you feel like you've got to do another one.
Sorry.
I couldn't resist it.
That's the sort of quality you get on the tour.
That's the kind of comedy you're getting
on the smart, casual tour.
New tickets available.
When does the tour start?
Well, the tour started in January,
and the first leg finishes in April,
and then we resume in September.
And there's dates I've got to mention.
Yeah, we've got dates coming up here for you.
Oh, you've got those on the screen, that's good.
What's the website, Harry?
jeffinnocent.com slash tour.
jeffinnocent.com slash tour.
And if we just go up a little bit.
So they're the ones that...
There's too many for us to sit in,
unless there's a lot.
We're looking to particularly,
obviously I'd particularly like to mention,
I think it's in October
when we're coming back to Liverpool.
Is it there?
That is Sunday the 20th of October
at Hot Water Comedy Club.
Manchester,
Chorley,
Huddersfield,
Southampton,
Luton,
Guildford,
Portsmouth,
Brighton,
Nottingham,
Birmingham,
Red and Cheltenham.
This is a fucking hell of a time.
You're playing everywhere.
All over the world, mate.
All over the world.
Jeffinnocent.com.
Go and watch Jeff live.
It's fucking exceptional comedy.
You know, it's been so fantastic.
You've been there before me,
but going out and performing to people
that have come to see you specifically,
such a joy, isn't it?
It's insane.
It's an absolute joy.
It's the fucking best.
It's just a fantastic thing to do.
And you're not there in the dressing room
taking the piss.
It's great.
Well, there's no one else
to take the piss at myself, then. But there there's no way I can take the piss out myself then.
But there are no stools
involved in this tour,
all right?
You won't see a stool
on stage.
You're really anti-stool.
I'm partly anti-stool
coalition.
Why?
Well, I mean,
partly because it's
just a nice thing
to whine other comedians
up within the green room.
I'm a big fan of a stool.
But also,
I think it's,
I've got to be careful,
it's your podcast. I'm a big fan of a stool. But also I think it's, I've got to be careful, it's your podcast.
I think it suits some people.
Generally I find it a little bit contrived
and manufactured
and hey,
I'm going to talk about some serious shit now.
So I'm sitting down.
Let me sit down.
You know.
I never sit on it.
I just use it as a table.
I don't want a table.
I think when,
the other thing of course is
when you're doing 20 minutes,
you don't really need
a table do you
what's it for
bottle of water
in 20 minutes
I also
when I
you're going to need
water in 20 minutes
I'm being careful
because it's your podcast
but
you can take the piss
you can let it go
but like sometimes
you know if I'm doing
an hour
an hour fair enough
and I have a little
towel on it
and I dab it
like I'm an old
black comedian
I have someone
come on and do that
yeah
but I think when I have someone come on and do that.
But I think when I see stalls on stage in clubs, you know.
I know, I like a stall. Also, sometimes clubs are quite small and I don't want anything on the stage.
I like a blank canvas when I walk on.
Oh, yeah, you're allowed to state a preference,
but you actively think it's naff when someone asks for a stall.
Yeah, I think it's a bit naff, yeah.
And I don't know who started it but uh i know i know the thing where you mean when you're like guys we get a little bit more but there never used to be stores i mean for 20 years there was
never a stool on stage and i don't know why it's become an american thing i think yeah oh is it
yeah i thought it was always a thing i thought it was just no no part of the deck like deco i think
it's more an American
you see old American clips
in the stores there
sometimes I've seen acts
they'll be doing their stand up
but they've got something
they want to
want it to come across
as more meaningful
they sit there on the store
yeah yeah yeah
so anyway
Billy Connolly used to have a store
you know my mum died last year
and he'd think
oh here we go
we're going to get this stuff now
I've seen someone do that
juicy go and watch Juicy ladies and gentlemen youtube.com this stuff now. I've seen someone do that.
Go and watch Juicy,
ladies and gentlemen.
YouTube.com slash have a word pod.
Some truths, man.
He nearly fell over,
so that's why
I had to have a stool.
Shall we have a break?
I did fall over.
I didn't black out.
All right, cool.
Join Juicy.
See you in a bit.
By the way,
just so yous know,
sorry, Geoff,
you weren't here for this
this was last week
but the
the Luke Combs festival

and you just said
you want to go
I can't go still

It's an old life.
I was absolutely like.
You tell your missus,

Jeff,
Adam's got a dream and he's had it.
It's a lifelong dream
that he's had since last Wednesday
to go to Florida
to watch Luke Combs play
because he's never watched him live
apart from the four times
he's seen him live.
Twice. Twice he's seen him live. So we've shat on his dreams and we never get to do anything
like the idea of adam going to america and us filming a patron exclusive patron special that
week and then topping it off with luke combs live that's what he's always wanted and yeah a lot of
people would say you gave that to him in april last year was when we did that but he wants it
again and it's surprised when some of us are like dickhead we've got lives but you know it's
because we're cunts so i don't even know luke holmes's yeah oh okay you're in the
brother is he a stand-up comedian he's a he's a funny guy he does uh he's a country artist
sings country music oh yeah i do. Do you like country music?
Yeah, I do, yeah.
I don't believe you. Yeah, I do.
Well, I mean, up until, I mean, I like 60s, 70s country music.
I like Americana, you know, like Neil Young and that kind of stuff.
I'm not sure country music completely, but enough.
What's your jam?
What's your jam jam?
Well, Jamaican music is my favourite, yeah.
Do you DJ?
Or is that another line?
Yeah, yeah, no, that's true.
Harry's lost confidence in all his music.
He's worried about this mouth stripping thing.
How about that?
Is that true?
No, I still do that.
During lockdown, I had a programme on a radio station
doing Reggae Revival
every Thursday, a three-hour show on,
I can't remember the name of the station now.
There's so many.
But yeah, that's what I do.
I mean, that's what I used to do.
There were some famous Jamaican artists,
like Sean de Poil.
Who?
Sean de Poil.
No, no.
Bob Barley's pretty famous.
Okay.
Sean de Poil's Jamaican, isn't he? Isn't he Depard is Jamaican isn't he
isn't he

They're good.
I've got a couple of their vinyls.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Not messing.
I've got so many vinyls.
Well, I really know I'm out of London here, sadly.
Cleopatra?
Who?
Never mind.
Cleopatra.
Coming at you.
We're going to do some celebrity encounters.
Finn.
Is that all right?
Finn. I nearly called him Finn. Harry, should we do some celebrity encounters. Finn. Is that all right? Finn.
I nearly called him Finn.
Harry, should we do some celebrity encounters?
Because we've asked that out to the lids,
if they'll let us know if they've ever had any weird celebrity encounters.
Have you ever had any celeb encounters, Geoff?
Well, I don't know if it's weird as such, but it was an encounter.
I don't know if this is worth it, but I'll try it anyway.
I was briefly in a film a football film called um mean machine
mean machine yeah yeah i know your i know your line in that film what i know what jeff's line
in that film is oh yeah that's so funny because i had one line i well i had more lines but i fell
out with the in on the filming i fell out with the whole production this might be a good story
because in in my contract they were allowing me to go and do gigs in the evening while we on the filming I fell out with the whole production team, this might be a good story because
in my contract they were allowing me to go
and do gigs in the evening while we were filming
but when it came to the day they didn't want
me to go so I had some big
you know, so I had a big sort of
cockney
argument with them
so I walked off the set
so they got somebody else to replace me for the other bits
so there's bits in the film where it looks like it might be me but it's not actually
me they got somebody who looked a bit like you stood on the top yeah where we're doing the
commentary but um so I did that film with Vinnie Jones but my line the reason I know the line is
I had one line and then for about 10 years all the local scullies were knocking on my door and opening the door
shouting out the line
off the street.
That's on bloody English,
is that?
Yeah, that's it.
It was basically
Vinnie Jones,
he's a crooked football player.
He's bent.
He takes a bribe
to throw a match.
He gets banged up
as he's coming into the prison.
All the other prisoners
are all standing around
watching him
and I get to shout out
63 caps for England and you get to shout out 63 caps
for england and you saw your country out in a game that's some bloody english that is and that that
was my line yeah yeah so but the the unusual encounter was to get the part i um and actually
with it with an actor who was in lock stock a a Scouse actor, I forgot his name now.
Stephen Gray.
He might be mixed race.
I've got a little Ratlock on one.
I've got him on Facebook.
Do you know who he is?
Anyway, he was my...
Oh, he's in Lockstock.
He's in Bread with the curly hair.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we went to, we had to go and audition as a double act
because they envisaged us being a bit of a double act in the movie.
So we had to go around to Vaughan's house.
What's his name?
The producer, Vaughan.
Matthew Vaughan.
Jake Abraham.
No.
That's him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, it's not.
Jake, yeah.
What?
It's not Jake Abraham.
The guy in the machine.
This guy?
No.
No?
You're all losing your fucking mind.
And they think it's him.
Oh, the one who spits loads.
Yeah?
Yeah, I know who you mean. Oh, you know. The one who's in the 51st Station. He goes, hey, you're pissing on your fucking mind. And they think it's him. Oh, the one who spits loads. Yeah. Yeah, I know who you mean.
Oh, you know.
The one who's in the 51st station.
He goes, hey, you're pissing on me fucking boots.
Yeah, he's in Skins as well.
This is the most scouse IMDB ever.
No, that's wrong sculpture.
He's called Madison Twatter in Skins.
Right.
He's in Skins.
So we know who I mean.
I know exactly.
He's called what?
His name in Skins is Madison Twatter.
He's a drug dealer in Skins.
And he spits loads.
He's known for being really like...
So we had to go round to Matthew Vaughan's house
to audition for this part
by Adlib in a bit of a double act.
But we had to wait in Claudia Schiffer's bedroom
because that's who Matthew Vaughan was going out with
at the time or still is.
But while we were in there, we were mucking about
and I opened the wardrobe and I saw all Claudia Schiffer's shoes
and they were quite big and I went, I reckon that'd fit me.
So I was trying on Claudia Schiffer's.
Then they opened the door while I was trying on her shoes
and went, we're ready for you now
and caught me trying on Claudia Schiffer's shoes. But on for you now, and caught me trying on Puddy Ashavis' shoes.
But on the set, but what had happened is,
on the set, Madonna turned up with Matthew Vaughan,
who she was going out with, she was married to,
what's his name?
David Chyra.
Yeah, yeah.
And she got out of the car, so we're all standing there,
because it was a very blokey film,
it was about football and prison.
It was very, I don't even think there were any women
in the film, one maybe, and so we were all hanging about on the set.
Madonna got out and we were going,
oh, there's Madonna.
And she got out of the car and she looked at me
and she went, Jeff Innocent.
She came over.
You're a funny guy.
Like that.
So Madonna, yeah, that's-
Madonna?
Madonna, yeah.
So they'd been watching the videos
that my agent had sent in to see, you know,
so she'd obviously been sitting there watching me do stand up comedy. So they'd been watching the videos that my agent had sent in to see, you know, to see.
So she'd obviously been sitting there watching me do stand-up comedy.
Did you say anything back to her?
Yeah, did I go back to Madonna's?
No, did you say anything back to her when she's like,
you're a funny guy?
I'd have gone, Madonna, you're not really for me,
but you've got a couple of bangers.
Yeah, not really.
I mean, no.
I mean, I've got all the other blokes who jumped on me
and started beating me up.
You know what blokes are like in those situations.
That's cool. I don't know if that's an unusual encounter, but it is.
It's pretty weird.
Is that weird?
To have one of the most famous pop stars in recent history.
Yeah, that's what I thought as well.
Well, history together.
I go, Jeff Innocent.
You're a funny guy.
Yeah.
I saw you at What For Junglers.
Yeah.
Scouts actor is Stephen Walters.
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's a good actor,
him as well.
Yeah, he's a proper
scally actor.
Yeah.
But he's one of the little,
like,
smackhead pill monkeys
in 51st State,
which is one of my favourite films.
That might be on my Rushmore
next week.
Ooh, stay tuned.
Smackhead pill monkeys?
Yeah.
Is that a...
You know exactly what he means?
I do, I do.
I just have never heard
that turn of phrase before.
Well, that's all language is, Dan.
Smackhead pill monkeys.
Language is me painting a picture for you in your head
And I've just done it accurately
So what are you whinging for?
No, nothing
I'm not a smackhead pill monkey anymore
Harry
Shall we do some celebrity cowers?
Take that form and make it work
For us
So this one is from
Robert Harding
We think my sister Louise has a gay guardian angel in gok

after booking number two yeah he's like seven foot he's is at least eight foot yeah yeah
hands like shovels what have you heard about god he's dead tall yeah and he loves clothes i say
he's six two oh really okay yeah If you could have a celebrity guardian angel,
who would it be?
Not God Kwan.
Why?
Gordon Ramsay.
Wow, fuck me.
Jesus.
He's just cool as fuck, isn't he?
Gordon Ramsay's like the coolest guy ever.
I love him.
Yeah.
I think someone hard.
I don't want to like...
Jeff?
No, I want a proper guardian angel.
Like someone like Emma Thompson.
Oh, she'd be nice.
That'd be nice.
She'd be looking after you.
She's just a good woman, isn't she?
Wholesome mother figure.
Anyone?
Emma Thompson?
Nanny McPhee is my godmother.
Come on.
Emma Thompson. Oh, yeah, yeah. my godmother. Come on. Emma Thompson.
Oh, yeah, yeah, from Love Actually.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've seen Nanny McPhee, though, haven't you?
No.
All right, cool.
And she's also the one in Harry Potter who's like,
my prophecy wants more!
That's it, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she gets sacked.
Sybil Trelawney, she does get sacked.
Cool.
Because you shack once every four to five years
you just have this
yeah shack would be good
I don't think any of you
know what guardian angels are
I don't think these people are
I think she's seen
Gough one four times
and gone
looking after me
but
yeah and actually
he's got a restraining order
out against her
what's the next one
so
from Callum
quick one
I once saw Warwick Davis
go past me on a segway
how tall was the segway
that's a good question
you can get small segways
it's from Liam Cawley
random celebrity encounter
on several occasions
seen Chris Kamara
walking his pet donkey
around the village
I don't think these
are encounters anymore
you know
I think after like
a couple of weeks of our content,
of new features,
our listeners lose all concept of what they're actually about.
Celebrity encounters is not just,
there's Chris Kamara over there with a donkey.
I mean, that's a pretty strange...
That one is.
I think it's not worthy though.
If you see Chris Kamara with a donkey,
or the person they said, Chris Makarna,
Chris McNamara. Chris McNamara.
Jackie McNamara.
The Rolick Davis one isn't an encounter.
He's just gone past them.
You have to encounter them.
You have to like...
You could have pushed them off.
That would have been an encounter, yeah.
Geoff seems really entertained by this, by the way.
Geoff's loved this little bit of interaction.
Shall we do some confessions?
So with these Jeff
people write in and
tell us the worst
things they've done
and we in a very
Catholic way I don't
know what religion
you were raised as
we decide whether
they are absolved
and they don't have
to do anything or
we can give them
some penance to
sort of pay for
their sins.
You'll have to
excuse us there's a
bit of a there's a
you can't hear it
but it's about to
kick off here mate.
Banging. excuses there's a bit of a there's a you can't hear it but it's about to kick off here man banging uh this is from anonymous confession here boys i'm a pale white lad from south shields and i met my wonderful fiance at uni who is sorry don't do it gotta yeah you can't do it like a
radio dj uh confession here boys i'm a pale white lad from south shields and i met my
wonderful fiancee at uni who was originally from trinidad we had a family over for a meal one time
and i'd say i said i'd make some sauce only i left the prep too late and ended up going to the
shop buying loads of caribbean barbecue flavor reggae reggae sauce putting it in a jug and passing
it off as my own it went down a storm and her family who were a bit hesitant about their daughter and niece being with a white lad took a shine to me instantly i never told anyone
including my missus that the sauce wasn't mine that was six years ago and every family occasion
they asked me to bring my famous spicy white boy sauce which i do and no one has any idea do i do
i need penance no i think you've just done what it takes to impress the family.
They've obviously got a bit of a stick up their arse and all that,
and they're trying to judge you.
And you've just done what it takes to get in their good books.
Stick up their arse.
Oh, you're not good enough for my daughter,
unless you can pass off reggae reggae sources, you know?
Is that all it takes?
That is a low bar.
Isn't it?
Easily impressed, judgy cunts.
Fuck them.
What do you think, Geoff?
I think he's potentially made life difficult for himself
in that he's got to keep bringing out this sauce
every time now, isn't he?
And all I was thinking is it reminds me of the time
when I first used viagra with my
wife and i didn't sell her she thought and it really worked a treat but it meant i had to keep
taking viagra every time i thought we're going to be having sex and sometimes you weren't having sex
so for months i kept just taking viagra and not actually using it can i I ask you a personal question?
I'm just thinking about that bloke and his sauce.
Every time their parents come round,
he has to keep making up the sauce just in case.
And also, if they by chance just have any reggae reggae sauce anywhere,
they'd be like, this isn't reggae reggae.
This is spicy white boy sauce.
I don't think most black people fall for that reggae reggae sauce.
I think that's for a white market.
So I think he's done well.
They're probably laughing at his sauce.
Did you have to finish yourself?
I mean, once you've had Viagra
and then nothing happens,
what are you doing there?
You just riding it out?
Well, yeah, yeah.
It's not what you think.
I mean, it's only there when you need it.
You don't walk around
knocking stuff off of tables and that. like a superpower you get a warm head
and you do get all the other side effects like uh snotty nose temporary blindness headache if you're
used to taking class like drugs that sort of stuff's nothing but if you're not it would probably
freak you out temporary blindness yeah you get because of the blood's rushing around,
you get a kind of blurred vision.
But I'm used to it.
I'm a smackhead pill.
I was on Viagra at the moment.
Mine wouldn't go away afterwards, my boner,
with the oil three inches.
How long for?
Three inches.
No, like a while.
We didn't say a week.
A while. A while? We didn't say a week. A while.
A while.
More than a day?
No, a good few hours when you're like,
I'm done with this.
I don't want an erection anymore.
Well, can you imagine doing that on a weekly basis
when you don't even get to use it?
And it costs a fortune.
That was the biggest problem.
Can I imagine getting a boner on a weekly basis
and not getting to fuck anyone?
Imagine that.
That sounds like slow torture.
Next one.
I think he's done well to guy with the sauce.
No penance.
No, I don't think so.
Absolutely no penance.
In fact, penance for them for not just letting their daughter
be happy in the first place.
Yeah, you lot.
You get to have fucking shite bottled sauce
for the rest of your life.
That's your penance.
This hang of crabs.
This is from anonymous.
Crabs.
Is that a new one?
Nah, that's an old school Scouse one now.
It's in the book. You fucking crab.
That sort of started as like someone shit a footy.
You don't want him on your team, he's a crab.
Yeah, like Henderson's a crab.
He only goes sideways.
Anonymous. Wag wag lids. I's a cnab. Yeah, like Henderson's a cnab. He only goes sideways. Anonymous.
Wag-wag lids.
I have a confession
that I genuinely never told anyone.
Basically, I have a bit of a guilty pleasure
where if I'm at a gig or a rave
or a busy night out,
I'll go to a particular packed group of people
and absolutely drop my guts,
do a massive fart,
and then I'll wait around
until people smell it
and take a sense of pride
in their reaction to it as I know I'm the one who's made that awful smell. I'll wait around until people smell it and take a sense of pride in their reaction to it,
as I know I'm the one who's made that awful smell.
I'll even do the thing where I put my collar,
I put the collar of my top over my nose
and shake my head as if I'm disgusted,
but really I'm smiling to myself.
Do I deserve penance, or is this just a bit of fun?
It's a bit rough, that, isn't it?
It's just a bit infantile, isn't it? It's just a bit infantile, isn't it?
It's a bit infantile, isn't it?
But I just think people who get genuinely bothered by farts,
like their fucking nuclear toxic gas,
just need to grow up.
Crabs.
Oh, crabs.
Absolutely.
Jordan Henderson's the light.
I fart a lot, right?
And is it a crime?
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime to have fun
farting? No.
Farting is good on your own.
I farted before on the couch and Harry looked at me
like, come on Adam. He was sat
a good five yards away from me.
That is like the circle of freedom.
It was more the fact it sounded like a
fanfare trumpet.
Yeah, but that's five yards. You think there is a sort of
no-fly zone with this sort of thing?
If I'm here...
Five yards.
If I'm here...
Yeah.
And I fart,
none of you can say anything.
I can.
No, you can't.
Because it's you.
No, you can't.
I wondered at what point
this podcast was going to reach this level.
Oh, this is about two and a half years ago.
You wouldn't...
You'd never move.
You'd just sit there and go,
that was me.
Yeah, no, from here?
Yeah. Yeah, because we know each other well enough now that we can just shut up. Would you fart
next to someone on the bus? Yeah.
Would you, yeah? Yeah, and then they'd move.
Two seats. Feet up.
I just don't think they're
a big deal, like, in day-to-day life.
I think if it's a stranger's car.
I understand you're trying to, like,
be attractive. This guy's going in and doing it on purpose.
It's funny.
It's a bit rank.
It's funny?
It's a bit rank.
It sounds deviant.
What if he got a nuclear weapon?
Bosh.
Off I go.
There's a bit of a sex thing here, I think.
Sex?
Yeah.
Is he on his own or is he with mates?
I think he's just trying to have a laugh, Harry.
Is he going to club nights?
Fucking come. Is he going to club nights on his own or is he with mates? I think he's just trying to have a laugh, Harry. Is he going to club nights? Fucking come.
Is he going to club nights on his own?
That's weird.
If he's going to club nights just to fart.
If he's going just for that,
if he's buying a ticket just to have that experience,
that's not good, is it?
But also if he's with his mates,
then surely he has to leave his mates group
because otherwise his mates are going to know,
oh, mate.
He's like literally, it's New Year's Eve.
Yeah, it'll be packed in.
Dirty boy. What do you think he plans? He plans his evenings Year's Eve yeah it'll be packed in dirty boy what do you think
he plans
he plans his evenings
yeah yeah yeah
so where there's going to be
most people
big fart night
oh fucking boxing day
what do you mean
what am I doing
boxing day
the Queen's funeral
there'll be fucking crowds
everywhere
but it has to be
an indoor kind of event
though doesn't it
otherwise it's not going to work
would you fart at a funeral
what
would you fart at a funeral
I probably have
that's what they wanted
it all depends who it is
yeah
yeah
12 bomb salute
if Adam dies
we're all
we're all going for a curry
you can't fart on the front row
of a funeral
why
because that's like
close family innit
that's mad innit
you can't be sitting there
crying and farting
but if I'm on the front row
then I'm close family as well,
so they all know they know me.
And they're already weeping.
Yeah.
It's just not a big deal.
It's just a little bit of puff.
Everyone does it.
Okay.
Let's do a couple of other words
and round this bad boy off.
Let's do it.
I hate the little moments where you have with your friends. This was going to be the whole podcast.
I hate the little moments where you have the tunes on
and I don't get to buy them.
No, you said it was great.
You said it was a moment of peace.
I'm fine.
This is from Anonymous.
I tell a lot of lies, Dan.
I'm not going to lie to you.
I know you do.
It's just a bit of puff, isn't it?
Anonymous.
All right, lads.
I have a word with my mate.
Every time, this is serious,
every time we're on a night out,
he's on the rob, stealing anything he can,
usually people's phones.
He says it's to fund his nights out
because he's not getting enough shifts at work.
However, the other night at a house party,
he robbed some lad's phone
that was connected to the speaker
and the music went off.
Everyone was onto it.
We were kicked out
and he's starting to give the group a bad name.
Have a word.
Geoff, you were a childhood pickpocket, weren't you?
A childhood
pimp?
No, no, no.
Not stealing people's phones. That's out of order. You can't have that.
Yeah, that's rough.
No, no, no. To fund his nights out.
What are you doing? Selling them?
Yeah. Selling them back to the people
that have robbed your phone.
And also, what kind of nightclub has a fucking phone What are you doing? Selling them? Selling them back to the people that have robbed your phone. 100 quid.
You can have it back.
And also,
what kind of nightclub
has a fucking phone
plugged into the speaker
for the tunes?
I think they're at a party.
Oh, right.
Okay.
They're at a nightclub.
DJ's setting up.
Yeah.
Sorry, yeah.
It was a house party.
I think it's...
Mate,
if you've got a mate
who's robbing like that...
You're a minesweeper, though.
That isn't...
You're a minesweeper.
What's that?
Someone who robs bevvies.
You love robbing a bevvy when you're drunk.
What are we talking about?
When you're drunk on a night out,
you rob bevvies.
No.
You fucking do.
Not in...
There's no policy involved.
What do you mean?
I don't go,
I'm going to have a minesweep. When have you seen me do you mean i don't go i don't have a mind
sweep whenever you see me do this i don't think i've ever been on a night out with you where you're
more drunk than me where i'm more aware than you are and i haven't seen you just go around and just
sweep me what are you that is the biggest misrepresentation what are you talking about
you're the mind sweeper no i'm not judging dan no this is red what are you going red for because stop panicking
this is what a load of shit it's not what a load of shit best place to mine that is the biggest
load of bollocks ever it's not yeah it is what you've completely made that up
do you remember on my 30th 30 when you minesweep one of mine and as i come back in you were like
oh this is yours is this the one instance where i've drunk your beer if this is just the only one that i remember
talking to you about where i know for a fact you can't deny it yeah i was fucking steaming that
night yeah and you don't get steam another night but yeah i do but i don't go around going great
great i'm gonna save a bit of money i'll have a mindset i'm not saying that's what you're doing
it for maybe it's for sports maybe you're the klepto, but you are doing it.
I've never seen it.
So what's happened here
is on one night,
his birthday,
I've grabbed a beer
that I thought,
because it was Moretti,
wasn't it?
Everyone had bottles of Moretti
and you've gone,
that's mine.
He's a fucking klepto,
minesweeping,
disgusting,
and he's skint.
Does it literally
every time we go out?
I'm not even judging you.
But it's not even real.
Okay, cool.
Best place to do it, Dan.
Best place to do it, the Guinness factory.
Because everyone buys a Guinness as one,
puts it down and gets one.
Mate, if you like Guinness,
just pay, it's about 40 quid, isn't it?
Is it about 40 quid?
And just hang around up there all day,
mind sweep.
I'll be there as well, it's what I do.
That's why I keep going to Dublin
for all the free fucking sky guineas you lying swat.
I don't know why you're so bothered.
I don't know.
It weirdly pissed me off.
It's really bothered you?
It's pissed me off.
You don't want me to talk about this,
do you?
It's a complete mistruth.
Dan, what's the biggest thing you've ever robbed?
I've robbed a curtain pole with Adam.
Yeah, that was great
what on it
from a where
from a shop
what we did Geoff
we took it
me and Carl used to play a game
we won't name the shop
the range
it was the range
we'd fill our trolley up
and take it to the till
in the range
and the game was
you've got to try and
get something out
without paying for it,
but they have to sort of have seen it.
You can't be like putting it in your pocket.
You can't hide it.
You've just got to try and just get it out.
And I just left the curtain pole in the trolley,
put everything else on the desk,
and then pushed the trolley to the end of the till,
but with the curtain pole still in.
Stealing in plain sight.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because then if they go,
have you paved that?
I get to go,
no, no, no, curtain pole, sorry. Scan it. I thought thought you'd scanned it i thought you beeped it another one we've done
or may not have done uh you buy you buy bins and you fill the bins with things and they just scan
the bins yeah they don't open the bins more for them more for them that's the range again
yeah i think my uh my dad stole a kitchen i know it feels like there should be more to that but he they went to b and q one you know
one of those massive palette movers yeah and you know everything's good just got a barcode yeah
but there was like five things on this quite a big order and i think the person on the i don't
know if they were new just thought it was like all part of the same thing.
Just scan one barcode.
And my dad and my stepmom watched them go,
all right, cool, that's 89 quid.
And they were like,
it was about 400 quid of stuff.
They just thought it was all interconnected.
It was one barcode and just waltzed.
That's really sad.
Which is fine, isn't it?
Just gonna,
I think if that was all part of the same kitchen.
Yeah.
I don't think he robbed the kitchen.
I think he just got an 80% discount.
Yeah.
Geoff, what's the biggest thing you've ever stolen?
I can't remember.
Nothing?
No, I'd have to think about that.
You never lie to anyone?
I certainly wouldn't talk about it publicly.
Geoff's old old school mate.
He's like, nothing.
It's all chill.
Nothing, officer.
Can't get fucking...
It's like trying to get blood out of a stone.
He used to pretend to drive for the Crees.
Last, have a word.
On anonymous wag wag lids.
I'll make it work.
Will you?
You fucking legend.
It's because I'm still pissed because i went to just started drinking everything and i was in a coffee shop what so you
wag wag lids uh i'm a welsh lid uh please keep me anonymous though i need you to have a word with
my dad in the past few months months he's taken up paragliding lessons i think it's a midlife
crisis he's enjoying it so
it wouldn't normally matter but the lads
at school have found out and have
started referring to him as the Flying Nance
and have given me the nickname Para
which has been shortened
from Paracunt.
Have a word to my dad for having a midlife crisis
and leading me to have the royal piss
taken out of me or give me advice
on how to shake the nicknames.
This is a lesson in not telling your mate at school
about your dad's gay little hobbies.
You just don't let people find out about it.
Is it gay to paraglide?
Come on.
How do you have lessons in paragliding, though?
How does that work, you know?
You know what I mean?
What point you're going to have to just jump out
of something, aren't you?
Well, hang on.
What's paragliding?
You've got a big...
You've got the bar and the wing.
The Del Boy one.
Are you pulled along by something
or are you jumping off of mountains?
Are you jumping off a hike?
And it looks like you're in a sleeping bag.
I think you do.
Yeah, like a hammock.
Your legs are in a little hammocky thing yeah i don't want my
dad paragliding i thought paragliding was off a mountain holding on to a thing could it be both
of those things no no no you don't hang you don't hang down though do you you're like yeah
you're parallel oh yeah parallel to the you're thinking of fortnight
i'm thinking of Fortnite.
I'm thinking of James Bond.
Oh, yeah, there's that too.
If your dad's doing stuff like this,
how have you let your friends find... If my dad was ever paragliding or skateboarding
or fucking, I don't know,
playing with his marbles or something,
no one at my school is ever finding out
what my dad's up to.
He's a painter and decorator.
It's an honest day's work.
That's all you need to know.
Have you ever had any mad hobbies, Geoff?
No.
I like filing my nails.
I don't know if that's a hobby.
It's not.
It's less dangerous than paragliding.
I like manicuring my nails.
I do it when I'm on the train, when I'm in the green room.
Pretty much as soon as I leave here.
I don't know if that's a hobby.
I don't think it is a hobby, no.
No.
No.
I like it, though.
Have you ever had anyone whinge about your...
Never.
No, it's you, isn't it?
Not even the craze when you were driving them round.
They used to love it.
I used to do their nails as well.
Not even when you were the ambassador for Papua New Guinea.
The Krays were sent to prison as well in the 60s.
I clocked that.
I was like, he's an eight-year-old driver.
In my head, I was like, Jeff's like, yeah, I'm a fuck.
He's a massive eight-year-old.
Don't drive, Jeff.
I went for a coffee with my mum yesterday and told her,
I was like, oh, yeah, we've got Jeffff in tomorrow i was like i've got this research and
he was like so what when was he driving for the craze i was like oh maybe they were doing our
jobs for yeah he was eight that's why they call him innocent he's so young well when i was doing
the lovely nails when i was doing the research and i typed in jeff innocent on tiktok if you
scroll down past your comedy clips it comes up with theories about why Epstein was framed.
Oh, because Jeff Innocent.
Is Jeff Innocent a stage name?
It is, yeah.
Yeah.
And you had that from the start?
I did.
What happened was there was, in the mid-70s,
there was a criminal called George Davis
who got arrested for something that he didn't do.
And all his mates got together and did this G. Davis is Innocent graffiti campaign all around East London.
I think it might have been the first Is Innocent campaign
and there was still some of that.
They dug up a cricket pitch before a test match.
It was a big full-on campaign.
And my name is Jeffrey George Davis.
So I was on a bus and I just saw that graffiti.
I thought, oh, that'd be cool.
You know, to be just call myself Jeff Innocent.
So that's where I got the name from really.
So it's still connected.
It's cool.
It would be sick if your real name was Innocent
and you got that in court and they were like, right, stand up, Jeff, Innocent.
And you'd be like, ah, no badness.
Make your middle name.
Make your middle name is.
You can't go back on it now.
Yeah, you said Innocent.
Yeah, too late.
Let's call that a pod.
