Welcome, welcome, welcome.
I'm having my cake and eating it too today. T-shirts on there and ham.
Oh, I haven't got my ham out, but fucking this one.
Is that a vest?
This cheese and ham toasty.
The butcher.
It looks like a vest.
It does look vesty. It is the thing. It's the thing. You Is that a vest? This cheese and ham toasty. The butcher. It looks like a vest. It does look vesty.
It is the thing.
Right.
It's the thing.
You have got a vest on.
It's not a vest.
Oh, God.
Has it got sleeves?
Promise me it's got sleeves.
It's got sleeves.
Have you got a pick-up trup?
Trup?
You can't do banter if you say it wrong.
Has it got a stain on it?
No.
Yeah.
It's a fresh, freshly washed and folded
by a lovely company in Kirkdale.
I need that number, by the way.
But I am going to
start wearing vests in the summer.
You fucking not.
Vest,
cowboy boots,
denim hot pants.
They're just a convenience undershirt, aren't they?
I don't know.
What's more convenient about having no sleeves?
Because don't you feel a bit like,
ugh, sometimes when you've got like a shirt.
The thing is, what he's factoring in is when he...
A shirt under me shirt.
Yeah.
I'd feel a bit, yeah,
if I had a shirt on under me shirt,
I'd be like, oh.
A t-shirt under me shirt.
You know what I mean, Carl?
Carl, what he's factoring in,
the Nashville, Tennessee weather,
which he's going to be experiencing full time
when he definitely moves.
I think that's what you're sort of dressing. I do think it's going to be experiencing full-time when he definitely moves. I think that's what you're sort of dressing.
I do think it's going to be hard
to come back from Nashville this time.
You're dressing for the place you want to live in,
not the place you live in.
Yeah.
Don't wear the fucking vest.
I do think it's going to be hard to come back.
Why do they call it a wife beer?
Now, I've answered my own question in my head
and I don't want you to.
Okay.
But you know why.
Yeah, I do know.
I've done it.
I've already done it.
Would you be able to wear
that t-shirt on its own
because it does look
like a very low neck.
Yeah, you look like
you're in The Wanted.
Great reference.
Some of your hammers.
Whoa!
Holy shit!
Oh, that's some thin
white caddon.
Woo!
Fucking hell!
It's just a thin little T-shirt.
I know it is, you dirty bitch.
Oh, my God, your tits look great.
Some of your jambon hair is crawling down like ivy.
Wow, that was a rooney.
Mate, that was a T-shirt.
Many, many audio listeners, let me just tell you this.
Adam is looking fucking hairy of chest today.
Women love hairy chests.
On men.
On men.
The women of Rotherham like them on themselves.
All right.
That's two shout-outs to Rotherham in two weeks.
Someone commented going, yes, Rotherham.
They're never good shout-outs, though, are they?
I'll tell you where I've been that I loved.
Rotherham.
Anyway, you look lovely.
You do look a little bit southern,
but like I say, I think that's what you want.
We're getting the photo took today, aren't we?
We're taking the photo for the new posters for the patrons.
For the £10 patrons.
The £10 patrons get a free poster.
You can't buy it anywhere.
All the existing £10 patrons will be sent the updated posters
because they're good eggs. If you are a patron... £10 patrons will be sent the updated posters because we're good eggs.
If you are a Patreon...
£10 Patreon.
If you're a £10 Patreon,
on Monday the 22nd,
whether you've been a Patreon for four years or four days,
you are going to receive two new posters signed by us all.
22nd of April.
£10 Patreon.
Stop.
We're not signing them, are we?
What?
Yeah.
They've got gaps to sign.
Purposely.
I thought this one's not getting signed that one's not getting signed no
you've just said two new posters
signed by us all
one poster
it's just signing
it's not hard
it's just pen
you just squiggle
no no
it'll take half an hour
40 minutes
it'll take you two
four weeks
it's not my problem then
what
it's not my problem is it
yeah it is no my problem is what that's not my problem is it yeah it is
no my problem is
that Carl has just said
we're signing both of them
and we're not
I know but I could sign both of them
I'm not gonna
but we're not signing both of them
so why would we tell people
we're signing both of them
why are we not signing both
well what I'm saying is
why are we not signing both of them
two pens
do it at the same time
but
okay
you get one sign
I'm just confiding the thing
we'd all
I didn't want us to be sending posters
I was unsigned
When we was just promised
That they'd get unsigned
I think we should be signing both of them
I think you're being fucking lazy
You too can't sign posters
You literally said
You didn't want the photograph
One signing
You
Did I?
Yeah
Why don't I just shut the fuck up then?
It does take four and a half weeks
To sign posters
No it doesn't
It takes 45 minutes
You lie
It takes you like
Oh god Oh god I can't do it I'm happy to sign posters? No, it doesn't. It takes 45 minutes. You lie. It takes you like, oh, oh God,
oh God,
I can't do it.
I'm happy to sign all of them.
It was you kicking off
as always.
Oh, here we go.
When I was drinking,
I was drinking from your Sharpie.
I had nine Sharpies here.
Where have they all gone?
These are my pens.
And mine's sweet pens.
You were drunk
because you were fucking
robbing everyone's bevies
and then you started kicking off.
That needs to all stay in. It's all all staying in i want everyone to know what's going
on i have got onset early onset dementia and i've forgotten what i've said but i think we should
sign everything and if you don't get a sign poster it's because these two cried we will sign the
poster i'll sign the one that's got space to be signed on signing over your beautiful face do you
know i mean oh you've come in looking all fine for it brand new designs by the one that's got space to be signed on. It's signing over your beautiful face, do you know what I mean? You've come in looking all fine for it.
Brand new designs, by the way.
It's not old one, brand new.
It's going to be fire.
So 22nd of April, make sure you're at Zampan Patreon.

I was here last night. I forgot. Oh, 420, bro.
So I've got a bad t-shirt on.
You love that little shirt, don't you?
I love it.
It's my favourite.
You don't like it, do you?
I know, I love it.
It says road from the back.
Do you like it?
Yeah.
You look really nice, Finn.
Thanks, Dan.
Also, the picture's in the back.
That's a good point.
It's fine.
Don't worry.
You stay over last night?
I did.
Yeah?
What were you getting up to?
Anything going on?
I was in Pogues.
Was you?
On your own?
Summer Blossoms were in Pogues as well,
which was nice.
Summer what?
Blossoms.
I thought you said
the Summer Blossoms were in Pogues.
The Summer Blossoms, yeah.
It was very awesome.
I was drinking with their manager
on the night before.
I'm not one to go
and disturb people, though.
I'm a big fan of Blossoms but I was just like
they're having a pint
I'll leave them to it
and they thought the same
about you
they probably did
we'll just leave them
we won't disturb them
did you kiss any women
no
no time for the Blossoms
I'm necking on
not like Harry in Pogues
oh Harry's so in love, though, isn't he?
Oh, Harry is a fucking rambunctious little sausage,
by the way.
Oh, yeah.
What's he been doing?
What's he been doing?
Kissing women.
Fucking, like...
Like...
Oh, yeah.
He's a horn dog, mate.
Are you a kisser, yeah?
I got a message.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That said,
Harry, please stop power necking in pose.
Are we allowed to say your bird's name?
Your girlfriend's name?
Yeah.
Big Bev.
She's great.
So me and Bev will power neck in pose.
The thing is,
if you fall in love with the dinner lady,
she's going to want some attention.
She isn't the dinner lady, though, is she?
No, she's not a dinner lady.
No, she's a very attractive woman.
Are you into kissing, Dan?
What?
Bev?
No, women?
I would be.
Do you like kissing? Yeah, yeah. Do you into kissing, Dan? What? Bev? No, women? I would be. Do you like kissing?
Yeah, yeah.
Do you like kissing?
I love kissing.
Bumholes.
No, no, no.
I mean, are you into like a...
Do you know what I thought
the other day?
It's been a long time
since I've had a good ear lick.
You know?
I remember...
Why are you looking at me
like that?
You said I look nice.
Come on, it's photo day.
Do you know what I mean?
You've always got headphones on.
That's true. Even when I's loud how often do you kiss
um i don't mean like i love you i mean like promise you about 10 of how much i'd like to kiss
oh mate this morning went in for a goodbye smooch with Laura.
It's a morning one.
She puckers her arsehole.
It's like a...
No, hang on.
She...
What?
She puckers her lips.
Lips, yeah.
Because it's a morning one
and she's had a coffee
and she doesn't feel kissable.
She thinks she's shit.
She's got...
She thinks she's got bad breath.
She has.
She's very puckered.
Yeah.
So I get a little peck then.
What do you want in the morning?
Do you want a little fucking tongue fuck in the morning?
Yeah, that's wild, that bit.
Just walk kissing me.
Especially when you're fresh in there, no?
Oh, I don't mind, you know.
I get in there in the morning.
I'd rather that than the other way around.
Really, yeah?
Yeah, because I just get like...
About your self-defense.
If a girl goes on like brushes her teeth
and gets back in bed and you're sat there
and you can taste like poo in your mouth.
That's not good. That's not good.
That's never good.
What was I doing last night? You're like, whoa.
I'm just doing a shit here, love.
What are you doing?
When you're both drunk
and your breath must be absolutely
humming but you're like, don't give a fuck. You're both
boozed up and then in the morning when you're like
Why are you just calling for a little cummy again? Kiss.
This might be quite dangerous,
but I like the smell of alcohol on a woman's breath.
Nashville.
Nashville mechanics.
I like the smell of alcohol on a woman's breath.
Is that Tommy Welps?
Yeah.
Teddy Swims.
Teddy Swims, that's it.
Tommy Welps.
What about Teddy Swims?
Is that one you like?
Is that one the ones you like? He's like? Is that one the one you like?
He's good.
Is that one the one you like?
I don't know a lot about him at the minute.
Yeah, I didn't.
I thought we were making up names.
So I came up with, as he said Teddy Swims,
I was like, that's funny.
I'll come up with Jimmy Nibbles.
And then it quickly came out that I'd been making up names
and Teddy Swims is a real fucking,
who's Tommy Welps?
Have I just made that up?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Swimmer.
I like the taste of alcohol.
Smell or taste?
He was in Ground 4.
Either.
Oof.
Or either.
Or either.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe you need to start kissing more.
Don't come to me like I'm I'm keen mate
but we've told you
this a million times
like an elbow song mate
hour long
hungry kisses
I'm into it
you know this band
called Keen
that you could have
just gone for
yeah
I wanted to do the
line from an elbow song
but you're saying
you're into all this stuff
and you want it
but you're not like
taking the steps
to sort it out
are you
saying you want your ears licked
you're walking around
with headphones on
you're saying you want to get noshed off you've always got your pants on like you're not making it easy yeah to sort it out are you you're saying you want your ears licked you're walking around with headphones on you're saying you want
to get noshed off
you've always got
your pants on
like you're not
making it easy
yeah yeah yeah
and I could be
kissing my wife
but I'm mind sweeping
I know
she didn't want to
kiss me
I've just stolen
a fucking
some birds gin and tonic
yeah I know
right so I'll stop
all of that
and just start
necking on with Laura
I love the idea
of every two minutes
just for any new listeners
obviously because
there's going to be
people tuning in
for the first time
today because Neil is
a big guest.
Darren's got a reputation for being a man who
harbours snakes and robs bevvies.
And if you're a new listener, this is the
bullshit bell.
This is one drink stolen
and now it's a character assassination.
No, it isn't.
Absolutely.
We can't keep doing this every week
okay
you're gonna try though
you're gonna try
no
you just need to be honest
about it
who's coffee is that
you love Robin Bech
is that mine
dying for a coffee
look we accept
it as a personality flaw
you know
none of us are perfect
are we
you know
no you are
I'm not that good
on a motorbike
no
I'm asthmatic
you rob babies
I'm asthmatic on motorbikes.
But I won't wear a helmet.
I don't give a fuck.
Yeah, I'd love more smooching.
Have you ever thought that Laura might be kind of a bit Muslim?
Have you looked closely?
No.
Holy shit.
I've been wondering where she's been going on Fridays.
I don't know if it's a specifically Muslim thing, actually.
It's definitely a Turkish thing.
Kissing's not a big part of the culture.
Like, actual smooching.
Oh, well, then she's a devout Muslim.
I hate to break it to you, but that might have happened.
Yeah?
How weird would that be if your missus converted to Islam?
Are you sure Muslim women don't like kissing?
Or is there just something in the way?
I'm just aware that...
It's a fucking valid question!
Yes, from Fabri. I'm just aware that
it's seen as, like, dirty.
Like, that's... Not in, like, a
ooh, that's dirty. Is it, like,
that's dirty. That's where food
goes. Yeah, yeah.
Like, look at my mouth.
Instead of a 14-year-old producer.
Yeah, yeah.
Jamaicans don't lick pussy.
And Italians,
because I've watched The Sopranos.
We literally had this conversation
on pod last week.
It wasn't last week.
You weren't here.
I was.
You spoke about licking pussy last week.
I was here for one of them, wasn't I?
I'll ask the question that got ignored
while we get this back on track.
How weird would it be
if your wife converted to Islam
without you knowing it?
That would be such a weird fuck you,
wouldn't it?
Is that the weirdest religion
for her to convert to?
It'd be really weird for me
because I'm not married.
Yeah, it would be.
Adam, I'm your wife.
Double news.
I'm your wife, by the way.
Well, and I'm Muslim.
Wow.
Whoa.
Whoa.
I'm going to stop drinking.
Yeah, that would be,
I feel like it would be
almost offensive. Not because of the islam which
you know i'm very respectful of what's the worst one then worst i didn't say worse i said weirdest
or weirdest what's the weirdest one weirdest i don't know satanism is that a religion yeah is it
yeah it's actually quite a cool one as in like it's all about worshipping yourself like I'm the best I am a satanist then
most evenings in my bed with lube
so that's fine
I've given my life to Christ
Nashville
just move
he's ready
he's 100% ready
I'll just stay in Sorghal, Cheshire
with my Muslim wife
I think the least convenient one for me,
for my wife to convert to, would be Islam.
That would be the least convenient.
I'm not saying she can't.
I'm not saying I hate anyone, okay?
I'm just saying that would do my head in the most.
Because you love a bevy and a bacon sandwich.
Yeah.
Like, is there any sort of, like, devout Muslims
who would just let me crack on?
Because I have, like, a devout Muslim wife
who would just let me have a bacon butty and a few guinness.
And she'd just be like, I let him do what he wants to do.
Oh, she's proper Scout.
Eh, salama fukhan licham.
Yeah, you know, I'm from round here,
but I am devout Muslim.
You know, a lot of people went to the Catholic school.
I thought, no, I'm going to a Muslim faith school.
We have Muslims in our school.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In our Catholic high school.
Oh, what?
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
There's no Muslim schools by us,
so they've got to go somewhere, haven't they?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
What did they do?
So, all right, cool.
That's fine.
Did they do anything?
So what did they do?
At what point did...
Yeah.
Just maths.
Came in for maths.
With... All right, cool.
It's such a load of bollocks.
Why do we have to have schools affiliated with religion?
Just teach kids stuff.
What the fuck does it have to be from one team of who believes what?
It must be like getting slowly phased out,
because we had RE lessons,
which were like, you know, there's God in there,
and here's the book, and, you know, there's God in there and here's the book
and, you know, there's some Jews over there.
And that was pretty much like...
Here's religion at a Catholic high school.
Those two kids at the back, they're from the wrong team.
Face that way.
East, I imagine.
We'll teach the kids who are there.
By the time I was in school, it wasn't RE anymore.
It was BE, which was belief education.
Oh, my God.
We were learning about... Were you the same, Harry? anymore it was b which was belief education oh my god we were learning about were you the same harry no um yeah ours was b now it's be asked no one can be asked
but we look we learned about religion buddhism we did all of them we did all the big hitters
yes so did we all right but i think from what i've understood about catholic schools
they did all of them but it was like 90 yeah it was like yeah it was but it like you could tell like we had like
a religious rd teacher as well and then like the the standings were sort of like you could tell
they sort of half believed but they weren't asked they weren't like being like this is the but the
curriculum's like so when we learned about religious studies, it was pretty much split.
But every time I talked to someone from a Catholic school,
it's like they were like,
and this is what's really going on.
And this is, you know,
this is God's on everything,
what we're teaching.
And then these mad cunts do this.
But that's never mind about that.
Like it's 90% Catholicism.
Yeah.
But even the Catholicism bit,
they were sort of like,
don't worry, be asked.
Right.
So it's not the DJR, she's an atheist, but you have to say it as you believe it of like, don't worry, be arsed. Right. So I think it's at the DGRA, and she's an atheist,
but you have to say it as you believe it,
otherwise the kids are like, this is bollocks.
Yeah, but like, because it's just another part of the curriculum, isn't it?
Some teachers probably don't believe in Pythagoras theorem,
but they still have to tell the kids about it.
It's still real.
I mean, Etta's going to a C of E school.
She's into it, believes, she loves it.
Is it true that Catholic schools are better?
I always hear like, oh, yeah, the Catholic schools are better, aren't they?
So you want to be fucking...
Yeah, that's what you've been told
by your Catholic overlords.
Yeah, but is that not real?
I've always heard that.
I can't see that that is across the board, surely.
Like, just because you're a Catholic school,
you're a better school?
Or are they just stricter?
I don't know.
I've always heard that, you know,
you want to get them baptized
so we can go to the Catholic schools,
they're better.
All right.
That does sound like conspiracy to...
Propaganda, yeah.
To recruit children, though, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Get them baptised.
All Hallows round our way was a good school.
That was the Catholic school.
Yeah.
Like the blue coat's probably the best school in Liverpool.
I don't think that's affiliated at all, is it?
No, it won't be.
Isn't it like a college?
I know it's a school, but it's not religious at all, is it?
I was so close to getting in there,
but I threw it in the bin.
Oh, what happened?
My mum and dad broke up about three days before the exam,
so I just put it in the wall.
Yeah.
But then this would never have happened
because you two wouldn't have met.
Well, you never know, though, do you?
Something bigger might have happened
and you might not have been here.
Oh, hang on.
What did we just do then? Is he my dad? though, do you? Something bigger might have happened and you might not have been here. Oh, hang on. What did we just do then?
Is he my dad?
Sorry, Bobo.
Do you think you are each other's one,
but in a platonic way?
Me and Carl.
Did you just tell me?
Yeah.
Do you think that if you hadn't gone to school,
you two fucking numpties would still find each other as Bezos?
Dan, I'm your friend.
I didn't go to school with you.
No, this is not the same friendship.
Did we go to school together? I didn't go to school with Steve either. No, I'm your friend. I didn't go to school with you. No, this is not the same friendship. Did we go to school together?
I didn't go to school with Steve either.
No, I know.
But you know, you are sat here as friends now
because you did go to school together.
Your paths crossed.
Yeah.
If you'd gone to totally different schools
and met each other at 20 Swicks.
20 Swicks?
20 Swicks.
Oh, yeah.
26 on a night out.
Do you think you'd still end up as absolute bezos?
Adam lives with Jack.
He met him two years ago. All right, cool. You've got like 10 ones, best friend night out. Do you think you'd still end up as absolute bezzos? Adam lives with Jack. He met him two years ago.
All right, cool.
You've got like 10 ones, best friend ones, out there.
I think some things are just meant to be.
You and him are meant to be.
You would live such a sad life.
I live such a normal, practical life.
No, but you think there's a higher power going.
There's no love in your heart'll tell you what, these two
lads, they're meant to be together,
causing fucking murder.
You know, I am an all-powerful god,
a benevolent, omniscient, omnipotent
powerful god. And yeah,
there's floods in fucking Bangladesh,
but never mind that. Carl Riegler
and Adam Rowe are going to wind
Les Dennis up to fuck,
and I have to make that happen.
Woe betide me as an all-powerful God.
I'm not saying a God has forced us together.
I'm saying the universe.
And God didn't make the universe?
What?
God didn't make the universe.
Do you not believe in stuff like that?
Do you not think some things are just meant to be?
I think you two are fucking brilliant best mates.
It's beautiful.
Do you know if we hadn't brought Will in a couple of years ago?
Do you honestly reckon if we'd have brought some other camera cunt in?
That things would be as good and flowing and like,
wasn't he meant to be here?
Wasn't he meant to be part of the team?
No.
Imagine if Welsh Tom had stayed instead of Finn.
Do you think everything would be exactly the same?
That would be great.
Oh, shout out Welsh Tom. Yeah, he's great, lad. everything would be exactly the same? That would be great. Oh,
shout out Welsh Tom.
Yeah, he's great, lad. He got so close.
That's what it was meant to be.
He got so close.
His little bowie t-shirt
with his little haircut on that.
Yeah, imagine if that was Welsh Tom.
Oh, no, Welsh.
I love the t-shirt.
And my name's Tom.
Instead we've got Welsh Finn.
Yeah.
Totally different.
One of them,
Mank Finn.
Mank?
Yeah.
Listen,
I think you're right
and this is all beautiful
and I'm glad it happened.
And it's wonderful.
Jürgen Klopp in Liverpool.
Do you think that was meant to be?
Harry?
Harry Robinson was a mere listener.
Now he sits on the couch.
He willed himself into this company.
But what you're saying is that this was all written
thousands of years ago, apparently, by the fates.
And what I'm saying is,
none of us are that important just
a talented guy with a camera who filmed some gigs for freddie quinn who we went that guy's good and
he's dead sound and then it's become beautiful a beautiful working relationship and i love him
he's one of my new best mates it's not written oh there was no need for the word new there was there i know why caveat that i know he's one of me new friends he's a new one
of my 10 last in first out you know i was gonna shoot someone i just don't i don't believe it
was written in any stars or well i do like over because i've got more faith than you i yeah i
think that is pretty that that is well documented yeah but i don't know what you've got faith in
it's just a made-up like happy land yeah you were the weird know what you've got faith in. It's just a made up like happy land.
Yeah.
You have a weird defense mechanism.
I've got, I think I am more a believer in love.
Because I believe, I literally believe that's all you make.
You have to manifest it yourself.
You're going, I don't even have to do anything.
It's all written for me.
I'll do fuck all.
Will Hutchby will just turn up.
It was meant to be hundreds of years ago.
It was written in the hundreds of years ago. That's not what I'm saying.
It was in the annals of time.
That's not what I'm saying. I have to work for these friendships
and form these bonds of love
because I think if I fuck it up, they just go.
But you're not as likeable as me.
You have to work.
Adam, I think you're fine.
It doesn't come as naturally to you. Is this yours? I believe we have to work for it
no you don't
you believe in fate
no but I believe
I've got
oh you believe in fate
until you
you've got to work
for your good fate
yeah Dan
there's a good fate
and a bad fate
and if you work hard
you get your good one
so there's loads of possible outcomes yeah oh then I too believe that yeah yeah yeah Or your good fate. Yeah, Dan. There's a good fate and a bad fate. And if you work hard, you get your good one.
So there's loads of possible outcomes.
Yeah.
Oh, then I too believe that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I believe that your behavior affects the many possible outcomes.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it put the outcomes there.
But by putting good energy and effort into the universe,
you get the good ones that are meant to be.
Right.
Hang on.
Got to work for this.
Hang on.
Oh, this is complicated. complicated no it's not that
complicated you're saying there's pre-written fates that you can choose and decide which ones
you want to do and if you work hard and you decide on one thing no that day was meant to happen you
twist them you had some things are meant to happen but you have to work to push the universe in the
direction have you ever watched band the snatch i was just about to say that life is a choose your own adventure and life is a roller coaster have
you ever watched band the snatch done no it's a thing where you you what you choose affects the
next move so it's all there there's thousands of possibilities right pre-exist but then you choose
which route to take but some things are inevitable no matter what including me and car being best
friends right okay cool thousands thousands or millions of possibilities yeah depends yeah
millions millions of possibilities then i believe in i believe in your version of fate
if all outcomes are not all of them because yeah that that's the infinite universe that means that's
elton john you don't believe in that you said that yeah i don't yeah so you believe in our smaller
faith version yeah i do
yeah yeah yeah that i believe there's a fate where me and adam keep working together this podcast
goes on from strength to strength and also that if i get a knife out and stab him that will end
yeah i built you know so which one's fate bandersnatch it's not there's not that many
choices as you go through there's like this or that like maybe 10 times is it a choose your own
adventure and a lot of them lead to the same result.
Yeah.
I put it on a trillion combos.
Wow.
A trillion.
How many crossroads with decisions?
Plenty.
That won't be listed.
But how many ends are there?
Five.
But that's what we're saying.
Yeah.
There's a trillion decisions you can make,
but there might only be five outcomes that are ever going to happen. Yeah. There's a trillion decisions you can make, but there might only be five outcomes
that are ever going to happen.
Oh, there's only one outcome.
There's not an infinite amount of fates.
There's five fates,
and your good and bad decision
could lead you to one of your five fates.
I mean, you're now closer to what I believe,
but I don't believe any of those fates are pre-written.
I just think you're in control of your own destiny.
But that's fine.
That's great.
I think to accuse me that I...
You don't think this was meant to be?
I just don't.
Yeah, like, it's brilliant.
Changed my life.
Best thing I've ever done.
That's not what I asked, is it?
Don't think it's meant to be.
I think we made it happen.
Yeah.
Through will and ability, hard work and talent.
We'll watch it.
But then you also...
And the many-faced gods who blessed us.
Yes, sorry, sorry.
The many-faced, infinite, unbeknownst god.
We were all there at the same time.
Ah, the god of timing.
No, like, the lockdown helped massively.
Yeah.
We started a podcast just before this pandemic hit.
Without the pandemic,
it doesn't accelerate the podcast the way it does
without that acceleration
we wouldn't have been
ready to hire Carl
the second he got back
from Japan
millions had to die
to make this podcast
what it is today
6, 8 weeks
yeah you miss your grandad
but look what we're doing
on Patreon
6, 8 weeks behind
and I come home
I was like I've got to get a job
and I had to get a job
I haven't got time for that
and then
I was never a part of this the timing was perfect almost like it was like I've got to get a job and I had to get a job and go lads I haven't got time for that and then I was never a part of this
the timing was perfect
almost like
it was meant to be
meant to be
it was meant to be
you know
like Clop and Liverpool
we hired Finn
just before his fucking ex
bought a cat
and tried to kill him
you know
that was kind of awful
I didn't mention
the attempted murder
but yeah
yeah yeah
it's all meant to be
it's beautiful
what's meant to be today
do you know this we won't know
until the end of the day we won't know until the end of the day there's five options there's me
there's me saint and self-worshiping in my bed i tell you what these are probably my five outcomes
for the day uh they all end you masturbating though they all probably ended me masturbating
i think it's so sad that you like there's just nothing like there's just no no no no no no no there's everything there's literally
in mine there's everything there isn't and it's us that create it you create it you got this love
that we talk about is on you in mine it's infinite the possibilities because i am making them in you
it's like i'm on a scholastic track Let's hope I get in the right lane.
Nice one, Jesus,
or whoever the fuck you are.
Can I switch lanes
on a Skeletrix track?
You absolutely can.
There's lane switches.
Shut the fuck up.
Yeah, but if you go too fast,
you fall off.
Well, isn't that,
hey, that's life, isn't it?
If you go too fast,
you fall off, lads.
Life is like a Skeletrix track,
actually.
Life is like a Skeletrix track. What. Life is like a scalextric sack.
I haven't used scalextrics for ages.
I love the smell.
Oh, my God.
I'd love loads of scalextrics.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, absolutely.
Why don't we get the world's biggest scalextric sack for the lobby?
Quiet now.
That is the best, stupidest idea you've ever had.
We can put the Voldemort in the middle of it.
100%. The middle of it.
100%. The smell of it when it started burning up.
That turns me on a bit.
225 quid for a massive one.
So what if we buy four of those?
Almost like we were meant to buy it.
Oh, my God.
Thank you, whoever you are.
That's amazing.
But we said something you really wanted.
And it was written.
The fates wrote it.
Right.
Cool.
And you got a scale of tricks.
I'll be happy.
You keep saying written
like there's some fucking monk
with a fucking pen and paper going.
Well, hang on.
I know.
I'm just saying it's just nice and meant to be
and isn't that a romantic
way to feel about the universe? Not that
there's just fucking abyss and nothingness
and no love. No!
You keep saying no love!
It's all the same about
love. You're just in charge of the love. Stop
making my universe less love based
than yours. Yours is just full of shite.
Yours is just a fucking bleak abyss with no overlord.
Who's writing it?
I'm just seeing the feats of construction.
It's like a fucking Meccano set of love.
Meccano would be sick as well.
It's not written down anywhere.
There's no book that we're ever going to find
when it goes get down to scale.
That just doesn't exist.
Can we get four? Do you know what I always wanted to do is to get the most scheletrics and then just like quadruple it and like make it i never had one after your time it's just real
isn't it it's just real no i think you were born after scheletrics i was playing fifa yeah
yeah yeah yeah because we had sabutio back in the 80s. We didn't. Which was amazing
until you actually tried to play Sabutio.
Did you have a player?
Yeah, but it wasn't fun to play.
It was just fun to look at.
I had the thing.
When you got the team,
when you got the team,
my era of Sabutio is Liverpool,
grey candy away.
89?
What's that?
What?
When did they win?
Oh no, that was before.
When was the Merseyside FA Cup final?
87?
1897.
Oh, no, it wasn't.
It was 87, wasn't it?
That's a lot.
Anyway, in and around there,
that's when I started watching football.
My absolute Subutio era was that grey...
What?
Yeah, I felt it.
Yeah, it's 89.
Was it 89?
Yeah.
Was that the...
I thought it was 89.
All Liverpool Cup final?
Yeah. Wow. That was my Subutio era. yeah was it 89 yeah was that the I thought it was 89 all Liverpool Cup final yeah wow
that was my suburbia
and also the
Adidas
is it Tango
yeah
classic
balls
and like Adam was saying
you'd set it all up
it'd be fucking amazing
and they actually play it
and it's just dog shit
you're just flicking plastic
against it
it just doesn't work
yeah we had Xbox
wasn't it
I'd still do it, though.
This is my 20th year
playing FIFA.
I'm still shit at it.
I've stopped.
It's always eight
and it's the best thing.
No, I've been playing
just offline with Jack.
That's not what I mean.
I mean like the-
He's in 4-1
with 10 men last night.
I'll always play FIFA
if you want a game,
but I'll never go online
and play Ultimate Team.
You're not buying packs?
No.
If you're at home going,
just stop.
It's fucking awful
it's a scam
it's awful
and I've been a party
for too long
and I ease it now
and if you're thinking
I'll stop and
let me be your guy
and listen
if you want to stop
it was probably written
you know
it's meant to be
it's a ring call
don't ring me
no breakdown
I'd love one
it was meant to be
erm
I caught Etta stealing
in the cinema
yes
come on baby
it was such a good move
it was so great
didn't bollock her
just gave her a
be smart
little fist bump
no no I
no it's not
I can't be like
yeah yeah
fill your fucking pockets
get me some
no
what was it pick and mix
so we went to the pick and mix
we went to Nando's me Etta and Jack which is happening more often now we're going for a little trio
of don't get jealous finn you're not my real son and although i do love you and i don't have to
change you so i do like you more than mine you do that out of love don't you
went for a little nando's and then because you know in you're on love, don't you? Went for a little Nando's, and then because, you know,
you're on the complex, aren't you,
with the fucking Nando's and the ZZ's,
but also the cinema,
so we went, right,
we'll go and get some pick and mix.
He's always said cinema,
and he's put an extra A in the middle of athlete.
He does do that.
I've noticed that.
Yeah, you added,
there's another,
you've added another syllable.
Athlete.
Athlete.
I had a little six-year-old learning the language for the first time. Athlete. Slow learner. Athlete. Athlete. I had a little six-year-old
learning the language
for the first time.
Athlete.
Slow learner.
Athlete.
Athlete.
Right.
Six.
Went in the cinema.
You big athlete.
How am I spelling cinema
with an R on the end?
Cinema.
Cinema.
Cinnamon bun.
Get a cinnamon bun and go to the cinema no i get a cinnamon
depends if i'm ordering it in jamaica gonna get a cinnamon bun man man was a cinnamon bun man
you call it a cinnabon i call it a cinnabam check me tiktok i went into odin that's in the trailer
TikTok.
Went into Odeon.
That's in the trailer.
You turn full dad then.
Or is it Ovan Bottom?
Went into the... What's going on?
Went for the pick and mix.
Went for the pick and mix.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Is it Candy King, by the way?
Everywhere.
Candy King are like the mafia bosses.
They're running that gap.
They've got Monopoly on it.
Good.
I like Asian Ode.
It might be Asian on it. Good. Yeah, I like Asian owned. They might be Asian owned.
No, Candy King is a big corporate.
I want individual,
all random shit.
It's fine.
There's some good bits,
but if you go to an independent,
we got these sweets on the fucking,
you know.
Swedish?
Cola dummies made in there.
Wow.
Right.
Oh, the fizzy ones.
Yeah.
Yeah, but it's not all great, is it?
No, but there's like three, four, five good bits.
Yeah.
So, got her what she wanted.
Jack has asked for a few foam bananas,
but Etta's had a good go of like,
I want some of these.
And every time I go two or three,
she gives it five or six.
She's nailing it.
She's got what she wanted.
Went over and I've wandered away from the pick and mix
with the little fucking scooper towards where to pay and i've gone i'm gone babe will you just take
this back and she's gone yeah daddy and then she's walked back and in between in my eye line
from from where we're stood at the counter there is one of those little islands with crisps and
sweets on and it's blocking my view of where etta is now in public
when i'm in charge of my kids the main thing is don't get them killed or kidnapped yeah because
they both of those things can happen but if it's on my watch it's worse is that right yeah totally
so if i haven't got eyes on you're gonna have sorry to interrupt yeah i will let you finish
your story yeah if you are gonna ever have one of your children kidnapped, that's already going to hurt enough.
You don't want the guilt.
You want to be able to look your wife in the eye
and say that's your fucking fault.
Where the fuck were you?
I was podcasting.
You can bring it up on anything.
Lost your keys, have you?
Lost our kids as well.
Nice, nice, nice.
You're going out again.
We've only got one children now because of you.
Off you go, go on. One children, but I one children now because of you. Off you go.
One children, but I refuse to not use the plural.
Off to the cinema, you big athlete.
They were stolen.
They were kidnapped.
So I couldn't see her and she knew it.
And she's gone to the strawberry bonbons.
Like a fucking...
Good choice.
Oh, weighty bastard.
Yeah, right?
So I literally, I went, where where is she so jack is pretty static so i just take a few steps around the thing and i see her like this
i went etta what you doing she went what is the best reaction she went
like total fear and panic i went come here she came up she went oh i forgot i forgot that i
had these i went no you weren't darling you were nicking them i just said it quietly as i said i
was like i know you were stealing them she she looked it's brilliant i love it exactly what i do
she's like right i'm clearly in trouble with this cunt but what if the staff find out i when i went
i know you were stealing them and i said it with this cunt, but what if the staff find out? When I went, I know you were stealing them,
and I said it at this volume,
I saw her look at the staff like,
don't fucking hot me out.
And I went, I went,
I went, put them in the fucking,
I put them in the thing.
So she put them in the actual pick and mix.
I went, is there any more in your pocket?
If you lie to me, I'll be annoyed.
She went, oh, oh yeah.
I didn't know
I forgot that they were in there
I went don't lie to me
I know what you were doing
but be smart
because if they find out
you're young enough
that you're not going to get in trouble
with the police or anything
but you might get banned
from the cinema
well you've fucked up there haven't you
I'd lie to you
that's not what you tell to your kids
the swat team
all you told her there
is you've got free passes here
the busies aren't arsed
no
yeah because
let's be honest.
I stole.
You stole.
We all stole.
I just wanted to be smart.
You're still stealing now.
Baby, you're wrong.
She's my daughter.
Go look to other kids.
Go look to kids.
Get your hand in the fucking bag.
Oh, I thought these were mine.
Someone stole your bike.
Yeah, I've had my bike stolen.
Would you ring the police?
Well, what do you mean?
Would you go? Yeah, because I need a police stolen. Would you ring the police? Well, what do you mean? Would you go, I asked for...
Yeah, because I need a police...
Don't you need a crime number?
An incident number.
Do you not even bother anymore?
No, for insurance.
Here's the thing.
Here's the question.
Won't it be content?
Here's the question, right?
Your bike gets stolen.
You know who's got it.
You found out, right?
You got information through the wire.
I call you.
But what would you do? Would you got information through the wire I call you but what would you do
would you call the police
and go
the man at number 47
has got my bike
say go and get it for me
or would you go
vigilante and go around
and go that's my fucking bike
well listen
I'd ring Jack Finnegan
I just think if Jack turned up
take a picture of it
yeah yeah yeah
it's definitely your bike Dan
lovely lighting there
I'd go around
oh look at you
you're unconscious
I'd just get to my mate
to the meeting
oh lad you got my bike
I know you're off
just gizzy
or I won't smash your arse up
oh you smashed your arse up Carl
you throw around
a lot of threats though
I've got people with me
Jack Finnegan
what he could be one of them yeah
yeah yeah yeah
don't take Steve
I'd take Adam
I'd take Jack
and I'd take my brother
he's big
and I'd go lad
I know you're my bike so yeah
I don't have to do nothing
just gizzy
and sound
you'd take three boys as backup, not knock.
I think taking State and Jack Finnegan
would be like a good contrast
because Jack looks like he's going to punch dead in
and State looks like he's going to take the minute
to the meeting, do you know what I mean?
Steelbook the ambulance.
The weird, mad German scientist.
I'll ring the ambulance.
So I just gave her the sort of like,
listen, I know you're stolen.
I don't want you to lie to me
i want you to admit it and she was like okay she just went really quiet with it because i wasn't
doing the thing about oh how because i nicked we all nick i just was like be fucking smart because
if you don't get to come back to this cinema you won't be able to watch a film
that's our cinema did you tell laura that's awesome so then on the way back i would i didn't
bollock her and i was like but then she then she weirdly she sat on it for a little bit she was
really like flustered it's for fucking eight strawberry bonbons and then she started going
and then she started backtracking and going i I think I need to start lying again. So she was like, daddy, I didn't,
I actually did forget.
And that's when I was like,
if you bullshit me one more time,
then I'll get annoyed.
Because up until this point, I was like,
hey, I didn't say I did it,
but I was like, just be smart.
Just because if you get thrown out,
I know what you did.
It's not the end of the world,
but just fucking think about what you're doing.
And then she started realizing that we were going home to mormon she started like catastrophizing
and got stressed she was like don't tell mummy and then got upset did you tell us laura the scary one
i was like not really i just think she just was being a bit dramatic i'm more scared of laura
than you sexually in every way yeah okay don't let it unload on me legs well that doesn't make sense if you're not a patron does it
it doesn't even make sense if you're a patron it's just mad thing to say um so she actually
got a bit stressed out and obviously i did tell laura oh did you grass i think be smart is some
weird messaging.
It's like, you need to hide this better.
You need to make a better run.
She's going to next up.
Tell me if you're going to do it
so I can distract the bitch on the counter.
He is right though.
Like be smart.
You're going to do it anyway.
So why be better at it?
That's going to be my tactic with my kids.
Not like, oh, I can't believe you drank alcohol at 15.
I'm going to have to, and we're going to do that.
You're going to do it.
Let's be smart.
There's a line though, isn't there?
If she shoots someone.
There is a line.
Be smart.
If she does a line.
You're in broad daylight, you need a balaclava.
And night time.
Where's this?
This is a registered weapon.
You use a stolen, sawn off shotgun.
What the Lord?
A stolen, sawn off shotgun. What did Laura say? A stolen sawn off shotgun.
Are you sure, Dan?
A stolen sawn off shotgun.
You know,
you make shashona,
you steal a sawn off shotgun.
Are you sure?
What did Laura say?
Did she bollock her?
No, I went,
I just gave her a heads up
because we got in.
Oh, by the way,
on the way,
she had one of the stolen bonbons
and went,
I don't like it.
I was like,
well, that wasn't worth
fucking well, was it?
Got in
and she ran upstairs and Laura's laura's like what what's happened thinking that we've
fallen out i was like right this has happened but i was like if you could not like i was like don't
bollock her because i've given her the thing and said you're not gonna bulk and she was like yeah
you've dealt with it but you're not you know i need i don't need to be like oh the thought of
you stealing i just wanted to be smarter and steal from.
I think my mum embarrassed me when I did that.
I think I stole a whistle lollipop from the chemist once.
And she knew I'm going to get in the car.
She went, I didn't buy you that.
And I went, I know, yeah.
She went, where have you got it from?
You haven't got any money.
I was like, I don't know.
She's got it, haven't I?
And she went, you're going to have to take it back into the shop.
And I was like, oh, no.
Can you just give me the money? I'll go and pay. And she went, no, you've got to go and give it back. Oh,, you're going to have to take it back into the shop. And I was like, oh no, can you just give me the money I got on pay?
And she went,
no, you've got to go and give it back.
Oh, that's good.
And I had to go up and go,
aye mate,
you bought the wrong thing there,
didn't you?
You're in the back of the car like,
woo!
You're a tomboy.
The most attention-seeking sweetie in history.
What?
Where did I get this?
I went back and I went,
mate, I've got this by accident.
And he went, what do you mean?
I went, I don't know.
I remember them by it, but I've got it.
I just needed to give you back.
He was like, okay, thank you.
And I was like, that was all right.
But I remember going, I don't want to do that again.
That felt shit.
That is amazing.
By the way, if you ever get caught with stolen goods,
that's the way to deal with it.
Ah, yeah.
I've got these by accident.
How did you get them?
I don't know.
I don't know, but they are in the garage.
What were you stealing, Dan?
You said you were stealing when you were younger.
Yeah, I was a thief.
It was a sweet.
I was an absolute tea leaf.
Is it mine, sweet boy?
Oh, is this going to get used in evidence?
As a kid?
Yeah.
What was the most impressive thing
you stole
I stole from
my mum's purse
we've talked
about this
I never got caught
one shilling
yeah
a threatening bit
which could have
paid for a new horse
where are my shillings
boy
I was trying to pay
the fucking horse bills
how many places is she from?
The horse bills?
Where are my shillings, boy?
I am trying to pay the horse bills.
I'm trying to pay the horse bills.
Your father goes through them.
No, instead of an Uber, you used to get a horse home, didn't you?
I need to pay the man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just an old joke.
Wonder whether there was horse taxis.
There was carriages.
Carriages?
Oh, yeah. Do they still get used now? There was carriages. Carriages? Oh, yeah.
Do you still get used now?
Whoa.
We got one in Dublin.
Oh, yeah.
What?
No, but do you ever reckon there was, like, just horse taxis
where it was just, like, before the wheel was invented,
like, just on horses?
Is that where we...
Just the horse on its own, no driver.
No, you just get on the back
and just rub your dick against the driver.
Turn up the horses, like...
You've been busy tonight, mate.
No.
Is that where whistling comes from?
Your whistle taxi?
Is that from like whistling horses?
Maybe it is.
What?
So if you need a taxi?
You know when you whistle a taxi?
Just let him hang himself.
You know the classic trope of like whistling down a taxi? You know what you whistle a taxi? Just let him hang himself. There's going to be great. Another classic trope of like whistling down a taxi.
You know what I mean?
Carl, wait a minute.
How many times ever have you whistled down a taxi?
That's what I do.
I get on the Uber app.
And it knows.
It knows.
No, but you know what I mean?
It flashes up with a notification.
Where'd you get that fucking lollipop, you robin cunt?
Do you know, I keep stealing sweets
and all these taxis keep turning up.
What the fuck is that horse doing there?
You know what I mean.
No wonder your mark caught you.
Taxi driver's knocking on your window.
Do you want a lift?
Minicab.
That's the horse's accent.
I'm right.
Whistling down a taxi is a classic trope of the films.
Flagging down a taxi.
Yeah, but also...
I can't whistle.
Yeah.
I can.
One of them.
I mean, a horse turns up.
Or a taxi.
Stealing pick and mix is fine, though, isn't it?
It's fine, isn't it?
I'd still do it now.
Natural wastage, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It just gets weighed now, so you can't.
She was literally at it going,
like, come on, man, but steal better.
Have you taught her the ways of the pick and mix?
What?
How to properly get use of the whole area of the tub.
Now, this wasn't a fill your tub.
This was a way by the bag.
Because Haribo on Cheshire Oaks is £6.50,
but you've got to be able to close the lid, is the rules.
It's like the salad bar at Morrison's.
What was that fucking Chinese by Ars called?
The Chinese by Ars?
Yeah, when you used to dance and you'd go to the Chinese cafe
and they'd give you the tub
and you'd fill it for the fiver.
Remember it?
It was like a girl's name.
Like Julie's or something like that.
Remember it?
Julie's Ars.
Where's that at?
Yeah, yeah.
It's a chippy.
Now it's on the front by the B&M.
Maybe it was just before you moved there.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I have used to...
They used to do that at... The one opposite Lime Street. Is that what you're talking about i have used to they used to do that um the one
opposite lime sheets is that what you're thinking of no no it's by ours so there's a serve yourself
chinese they give you the tupperware and go it's a fiver and you fill it and you would fucking
rhyme it in right but you've got to be able to close it yeah yeah yeah because that's the rules
with these in it you can like you can layer it as much as you want. You can build it.
But you have to be able to close the lid.
In the test compound, I don't give a fuck.
I don't even attempt anymore.
Snakes are on the top.
Sometimes I'll wrap the actual thing in snake.
Genuinely?
Just a bow.
They fell off them.
They were my favourite sweets ever.
The yellow bellies.
Snakes.
And cola bottles fell off.
The big ones.
Big ones.
And yeah, yeah. The long snakes. The yellow bellies. Snakes. And cola bottles. The big ones. Big ones. And yeah, yeah.
The long snakes.
The yellow bellies.
But they're just not as good anymore.
From the ice cream.
I'm going to get hot.
No, it is.
It's Jamie Oliver,
the big fucking cunt.
He's ruined everything, hasn't he?
Taking sugar out of stuff.
Yeah.
Ruin Lucas Aids.
He's ruined yellow belly snakes.
He's ruined fucking...
Same place as Adam's mum.
Check out our TikTok.
We're talking about all them yellow belly snakes. Check out our TikTok.
We're talking about Adam.
You're going to be listening.
Turkey Twizzlers were fucking... You couldn't move for Turkey Twizzlers back in the day.
Chicken Kebbs.
They were everywhere.
Chicken Kebbs.
Wow.
They're just gone.
It's all gone.
Because Jamie Oliver was like,
I don't like fat kids.
He's got Down Syndrome as well.
Jamie Oliver.
You're thinking of Ross Kemp, aren't you?
No, he's got the same Down Syndrome. It's got to be Down Syndrome month, and I don't know about it. Yeah, Jamie Oliver's got Down syndrome as well. Jamie Oliver. You're thinking of Ross Kemm, aren't you? No, he's got the same Down syndrome.
It's got to be Down syndrome month,
and I don't know about it.
Yeah, Jamie Oliver's got it too.
And Damien Duff.
He has.
Fact, though.
Jamie Oliver's got the same Down syndrome as Ross Kemm.
Transcontinental Down syndrome.
Well, yeah.
It's true.
It's true.
Thank you.
Into the same acting skill as Ross.
Yeah.
It's true?
It's true.
Thank you.
Went to the same acting school as Ross.
Shall we do some... Question?
We've got one really good...
Question?
And I'm ready to ask this.
Question?
Drew Simpson says,
Have you seen all this fucking drama with P. Diddy?
Loads of accusations.
What was drama?
All these rapes and sexual assaults.
Loads of accusations about him being a bad cunt to women,
one about an underage girl,
and then an accusation of trafficking women.
Police raided his home,
and there was rumors that he jumped on a private jet and fucked off to Antigua.
My question is,
if you knew the busies were coming to raid your house,
where would you flee to, and how would you get there?
P. Diddy wise, the only reason this is on my radar
is because I went on 50 Cent's Instagram and Fiddy is pissed off.
He's so funny, 50 Cent.
Man, he's got 31 million followers and for the last month and a half,
he's gone, yeah, this Instagram is solely about
cunting off P. Diddy.
He doesn't like it.
Catwell, he was mentioned in that interview, didn't he?
P. Diddy likes bumming men to control them.
He said he don't.
Allegedly.
If P. Diddy invites you to a party, you don't go.
Because he's going to bum you out of.
So one guy went on TV and went,
this is from a while ago,
but I had a nephew of mine asked,
because he knew P Diddy,
asked if he could get him an internship at Bad Boy Records.
And after about three or four months,
it just ended really abruptly
and the nephew didn't say anything.
And the guy had to go,
what's happened there?
What's happened with you and P Diddy?
And the accusation allegedly is that P Diddy was like,
you're staying over tonight with with me and he was like
no i'm fucking not and he went right well then your internships ended and he went cool see you
later and just fucked it off which i'm sure happens most of the time but then there'll be
those occasions where someone just gets blagged into a he also bankrolled by biggie's death didn't
he apparently paid a million for for Biggie to get shot.
I know Tupac to get shot, sorry, not Biggie.
Apparently he bankrolled the...
Yeah, I thought that was a bit of an accusation there
because it was his best mate, wasn't it?
Yeah, no, he apparently bankrolled...
Yeah, but that was a whole thing, wasn't it,
with Bad Boy Records and Death Row and...
Not Death Row, but like that...
I don't know, I'm not a historian on Tupac.
Eminem mentioned that in his disreply to Machine Gun Kelly, but like that, I don't know. I'm not a historian on Tupac. Eminem mentioned that
in his disreply
to Machine Gun Kelly,
didn't he?
Did he, yeah.
Like towards the end of it,
the thing,
he's like,
he says something like,
the day I admit that
is the day that Diddy admits
he put the hit out
that got Pat killed.
And then at the very end
of the song,
he goes,
I'm only messing Diddy,
you know,
I'm just fucking around.
Yeah. But like he, he gave Kee'm only messing Diddy. You know, I'm just fucking around. Yeah.
But like he,
like he gave Keefy D,
or he promised him a million dollars.
And then as,
as,
as,
sounds like one of your dad's mates
who drinks on Loughlin.
Keefy D.
I honestly thought you'd be.
Keefy you,
Keefy D,
you know.
Keefy D.
Keith,
Keith D.
Keefy D.
You know,
once she was finished with Elton John,
she put hits out on Biggie.
Don't go breaking my heart.
I'm shooting fucking Biggie.
I'm packed.
I'll shoot anyone.
I wouldn't if I tried.
That's a well.
She's just like
freestyling in the middle.
I'll shoot anyone.
Elton and Kiki
were doing an album together
but she's too busy
being a hit woman
for East Coast,
West Coast rappers
in the mid-90s.
Fucking nightmare.
If that ever comes out, the Kiki D was involved in the hits on Biggie and Pac.
I'm going to kill myself.
I'd like to literally find out Sally Gunnell did 9-11.
What? Wow. Really? me so literally like finding out Sally Gunnell did 9-11 what wow
what
really
never had
Sally Gunnell
as Al Qaeda
he paid
Keefie D
Keefie D's
nephew
Orlando Anderson
shot back
and now he's
dead
well
P Diddy has
spent 30 years
being a bad
cunt by the
looks of it
and now
everyone's
coming out
Shug Knight
said if he
goes to
prison
he's in
danger
yeah I love the fact that apparently he wasn't on the plane to antic

For the bit. He did? Oh Kiki D. Raised another man's child. Did. For the bit.
He did?
Oh, he did.
He's not trafficked any women.
Fuck.
Well better than P. Diddy for me.
Yeah, you can get big,
but obviously these stories dominate, don't they?
And they make everyone who's done well in show business
look like an absolute sex pest,
but it's not everyone is it
no but it's
it's
I mean
it hasn't been found out yet
Stephen Hawkins was a bad guy
that's bad
like
no one's safe
I don't know whether Stephen Hawkins
was a bad guy you know
he went to the bad place
he went to the island
but like
all he did
was make midgets do maths
yeah
like that's all
he did
I would love
he was still alive
and that was his
thing in court
and here's the
thing
like if anyone
needs to go to
the special place
to watch
mentions of
maths it's
probably Stephen
Hawkins isn't
it
yeah he's done
loads for those
because you can't
do it at a
Marriott hotel
in Halifax
he's done loads
for humanity
he needs some
maths mentions
as a payment
I just don't see
I don't see who loses
yeah
were they trying to
that wasn't the worst
thing that happened
on that island
no
were they trying to do
real equations
were they trying to
solve stuff
yeah but he had
so
I can't believe
we're doing this again but he had them doing math equations on a whiteboard that was slightly out of their reach
so that they were reaching to do it and he could see that i hope this is true but if it's not true
whoever's gone yeah i'm gonna cause murder do you reckon they actually had to hire smart ones or
did they have to feed them the answers
in like an earpiece?
When you say smart ones, do you mean clever or like programmed?
Like AI?
This is a smart dwarf.
Link him up to your telly.
Smarty.

You have to put your password in.
Right in his face.
Anyway, P did he, eh?
Where would you go?
He's gone to Antigua in his private jet.
I know it, I wouldn't go.
Maybe that's what he's doing.
Are you going abroad?
We're going on the run from the Feds.
Well, I haven't got a private jet, that's the thing.
No, but you've got to imagine you'd have.

M56 and just seeing
what happens.
That's the problem
with being in the UK.
You can get everywhere
within about five hours.
Yeah, but you can
get in your car
because the cameras
would read your
reg and your course.
Oh shit.
It's like the
Hunter, isn't it?
Oh yeah.
I'm straight on
the fucking bicycle.
Yeah, bicycle's better.
Off-road. Like Val mode. Yeah. I don't think they're going. Yeah, bicycle's better. Off-road.

I'm waiting for that Luke Combs festival.
Yeah, you're not going to be a hard man to find, are you?

There's not many options options what about Teddy Swoles

Teddy Swoles
UK like

not be extradited
and
fucking thin smart
the options are limited
Florida
you're going straight
back to fucking

I'll just get a shave
they won't know it's me.
So you've got North Korea.
That's one.
Somalia.
Afghanistan.
I'd rather go to prison.
Lebanon.
Syria.
Algeria.
Libya.
And Iraq.
There's your Algeria.
I think Algeria might be quite nice.
Yeah, I've been to...
I've been to Morocco.
Is it nice?
Yeah.
Is it next to it?
Relevant.
Is Morocco,
Morocco's next to Algeria,
isn't it?
I've been to some places
that aren't on that list.
No!
Algeria's near Morocco.
It's the same type of
North African,
you know,
one of my wife.
Or Siam Park.
In Algeria?
Definitely get you on the rides,
just stay on the rides.
Yeah.
Tenerife,
but you will get extradited. Yeah, but they'd have to catch you on the slide just stay on the rides yeah 10 a.m. but you will get
extra ice
yeah but they'd have to
catch you on the slides
it's still like
the slides
it's fun
yeah we're trying to
take down Adam Rowe
but he's got an
unlimited fast pass
at Siam Park
he's not even queuing
smart guy
I'd only land
if you're a planer
I'd live in the skies
what are you going to do then
the thing is though
being at Siam Park
is the perfect,
like, you're guaranteed at head start.
If you wait at the top of the slide, you go down it.
And then even if the air bar is full, you know,
he's going to be like, wait.
I love it.
There's only one.
And no one's waiting at the bottom.
There's no one.
Yeah, we could do with a bigger team.
Well, Interpol's got a budget, so.
Wait.
You just get to the top of the next one
you just chase
here's the busiest
here's the busiest
on you go
you get on your favourite
cyan park slide
and then the fella
chases you to the top
you go down
he gets told to wait a minute
and you go back up
have you been watching
Scooby-Doo lately
and it's not a documentary
it's foolproof it's not a documentary. It's foolproof.
It's not a documentary.
It's not foolproof because Cyborg shuts.
What?
It's not 24-hour water slides.
No.
You'll be pruned as well.
Your fingers will be in bits.
Yeah, but that gives me more grip, doesn't it?
No, it's to scale more.
And your weapons, yeah.
Oh, sorry, your weapons.
I can't shoot.
I've got no grip on my finger.
Luckily, I've been in the bath for four hours. You're dead.
So stupid. So P. Diddy.
Trafficking women.
It's bad, that.
No, yeah.
We should be allowed to drive ourselves now.
Is P. Diddy
overrated anyway? Yeah. As a musician? He's a gob show. I'd be allowed to drive ourselves now. Is P Diddy overrated anyway?
Yeah.
As a musician?
He's a gob show.
I'd probably be a person as well.
He's a producer.
Yeah, but he's had some tunes as well.
Yeah, but that's the whole thing, isn't it?
If you want your producer to not be in the songs,
come to death row.
He's his producer.
He just tried to be more famous
by being in the songs and it worked.
He's a famous producer
because he got in the songs.
Yeah, and he's also an artist
because he's done loads of rapping.
Yeah, but I'm saying... He's not just a producer, is in the song. Yeah, and he's also an artist because he's done loads of rapping. Yeah, but I'm saying...
He's not just a producer, is he?
Mainly.
By the way, Bad Boy for Life is a fucking banger.
I won't be able to listen to that anymore.
What?
Can't separate the artist.
Can't watch House of Cards.
Can't listen to Bad Boy for Life.
What's the point of living?
That's all he did.
Thank you, Kevin Spacey and P-fucking-Diddles.
Remember when he kept changing his name?
He was like Puff Daddy for no reason.
Well, Puff Daddy was the OG.
Yeah, but he was like, oh, now I'm Daddy Puff.
No, he was Puff Daddy.
And he was the big Puff.
Now I'm Diddly P.
Oh, no, the big P.
He was Puff Daddy.
Then he was just Puff.
Then he was P-word.
He was just Puff for a while, wasn't he?
Then he was P-word diddles.
He was Puffy as well.
Go on, you're a comedian.
Genuine question.
Now that all this has come out about him,
does Puff Daddy mean that he was trying to tell us all along
and he was using a slur against himself?
He's hiding in plain sight.
I call myself Puff Daddy.
Of course, I'm shagging men up the arse.
I'm in charge and I'm gay.
Big gay kid.
Have you heard what P did?
He's calling himself.
He's calling him Big Gay Kiddy Fiddler.
Well, I think we should have seen it.
I mean, he should be allowed to bring that up in court.
I'm not defending him.
But when they're like, you've been getting away with this for years. He'd be like, well, look, to bring that up in court. I'm not defending him. But like when they're like,
you've been getting away with this for years.
He'd be like, well, look, I called myself Puff Daddy.
What did you think I was getting up to?
That doesn't get you off molesting boys, does it?
I said I was, come on.
I didn't, you know.
Yeah, but then he changed it to P Diddy,
which is as close to P though as you're going to get.
I'm trying to tell you.
He went from Puffuff to P Diddy
Ben just Diddy
yeah but he was
later nicknamed
Puff
as a child
due to how he would
huff and puff
when he was angry
were they all his nicknames
yeah
yeah
was Wikipedia
love them all
you're on the mirror
yeah but there's
there's only
there's only a few
I think
oh I thought he had like
ten names
no he's got more than that.
Sean Combs.
Sean Puffy Combs.
Sean Combs.
Yeah, that's his name, isn't it?
Luke's brother.
Oh my God, imagine.
I think you're doing him a disservice.
I think he goes by, what's it called?
A pseudonym, not a pseudonym.
There's one there.
Click here.
He's had so many names.
There is children.
Justin Dior Coombs.
King Coombs.
He changed his middle name to Love.
So his original name was Sean John Combs.
And then he's now official name is Sean Love Combs.
That's never paid a tax bill in his life.
We're actually trying to put a tax out for P. Diddy.
No, I'm Diddy, mate.
I'm Puff Daddy.
So he said,
I will not be answering to Puffy, Diddy, Puff Daddy
or any of my other monikers,
but Love or Brother Love.
So he was called Brother Love for a bit as well.
That's another one.
I'm bumming men.
Brother Love.
Oh yeah, Brotherly Love.
In the bum.
Oh, because that's, yeah.
Philadelphia is a mainly gay city.
He's been trying to tell us for ages.
Yeah.
And, you know...
Diddly.
Puff.
Daddy.
Diddly diddler.
P. Diddy.
The big pedo.
Yeah.
It's not...
Get his Wikipedia file, Pedro.
That should be a website, by the way, for Peter Files.
Not for Peter Files.
For him?
No, as in, he put them all in.
Want to find out all their nicknames?
The Big Fiddler?
The Riddler?
They're all Blackpool, aren't they?
I'm going with the Big Fiddler.
Say that to Riddler.
By the way, by the way,
last week, I think it was on the Patreon
we were talking about
oh yeah
the big one
the big one in Blackpool
is a dangerous death trap
waiting to happen
the Pepsi Max
see what happened
it fucking stopped
when it was at the top
and people had to climb down it
no they didn't
yeah
they did
no
they had to walk from the top
and I'd rather die
I'd rather jump off you can't walk from the top. And I'd rather die. I'd rather jump off.
You can't walk from the top, bro.
You can't.
Yeah.
No.
It's got steps down the side, doesn't it?
Oh.
Yeah.
We called it.
We're the Simpsons.
I would want harnesses for that.
Do you know what I mean?
I just did the zip line at Centre Park.
She clipped onto everything.
Are they just raw dogging that fucking walk down the steps?
Yeah.
Oh, no.
No, sir.
No.
I'd rather stay on it until he fixed it.
Or just reverse it.
No, let's not reverse anything.
But imagine if it just like something went
and it just like uncontrollably went round the thing.
I'd probably walk down.
I would walk down.
I'd be shitting myself if I walked down.
Oh my God.
It does roll uncontrollably,
doesn't it?
No, it's powered, isn't it?
No, no, but...
It's on electric tracks.
No.
Yeah.
No.
How powered is it?
It's not got that much momentum
from that drop to get right round.
Do you think Rita Queen of Speed
is just some cum pushing you?
No, no, no.
But I thought
electricity took you up
and then gravity did the rest.
I didn't think so.
But maybe I'm wrong.
I don't know a lot about roller coasters.
If you go to the top of the Pepsi Max big one
and there's no power from the point you drop,
you're not going to experience a faster or slower version
of the Pepsi Max big one, are you?
There's not enough momentum to get you around that ride.
Well, then it's just going to...
Are you going to get a three quarter strength?
Yeah, it'd be fine.
I'd just let it...
I'd be like just
loosen it off
drop me off yeah
I don't want to
day that climb
also you've got to
worry about like
the person ahead of you
not just like going
I've gone weak
and falling off
just fat assing you
to death
I've gone weak
no because they could
go oh god I'm panicking
that'd be me
and your bunda's falling
I'd find a point
at the bottom
and I would not blink
I would stare at it
and I would just take it
I wouldn't
that is
that's the worst thing
I've ever had in my entire life
I would not be looking
at anything but my feet
and where I'm standing
and what I'm stepping on
oh really yeah
but you can still see
through like the gaps
of the stairs
and that to the floor
if you look them down
yeah
well I can see Preston
I don't need to do that fuck me I'm yeah nah no I'll see through the gaps in the stairs and that to the floor. If you look them down. Yeah. Well, I can see Preston.
I don't need to do that. Fuck me.
I'm...
Yeah, nah.
No.
Banana ripening places, by the way, are real.
Oh, really?
It sounded like bullshit, didn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
It's a massive factory with lamps.
That's my guess.
Go and watch the Patreon episode, by the way.
Did they just, like, fucking...
Did they just toast
them a little bit since they put them in a paper bag i don't believe it uh let's have a breakage
how are we welcome back to the have a word podcast very formal who's here it's neil delamay
long overdue long overdueute behemoth of a comedian
He's a big lad
Gargantuan
Rob Dignagian in my
I had to follow you at Electric Picnic
In Ireland
In a port-a-loo
It was funny
So Electric Picnic is Ireland's
Glastonbury essentially isn't it
It's like the closest equivalent.
Yeah.
And the Comedy Tent there was, most of the day,
like a third full at most.
Yeah.
And then he goes on and it is full.
It's like people are like, Neil Denham is on.
It's like fucking packed out.
And I'm looking at it and I'm like, oh, I'm on right after him.
And in your head you go go hopefully they all just go
well we'll see
what the next guy's like
and stay
and that just didn't
fucking happen
it didn't
it took half an hour
and then the company
goes back on
and goes
yeah so
yeah
half a year ago
and yeah
oh good
and everyone's gone
and it's
and it was back to being
as quiet
maybe quieter than it had been all day but those
festivals are just about where you go on it and they're like you know if you go on four o'clock
in the afternoon and everybody's off their tits from the night before and just yeah it's uh they're
hung over you're hung over i i booked it because like live nation who were promoting me were like
go and do this because it'll sell your island tore out and then once I was on stage
I was like
unless these all tell
3,000 people each
like the maths
just isn't maths
in here
do you know what I mean
yeah if Live Nation goes
oh no they all know each other
that's stereotype
although we'll all tell each other
yeah so this is
we're not going to spend
any money on ads
we're just going to get you
in front of 3,000 people
we did alright in the end
in Ireland
I was quite worried
about it for a while,
but yeah,
we did quite well in Cork,
did all right in Galway.
Limerick was hard to sell,
but then we did like
a thousand tickets
in Dublin at the Olympia.
Such a fucking venue, that.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
It's so fucking good.
Old, like,
hundred-year-old theatre.
Those match-em theatres
on the three levels of, yeah, yeah.
No, they're great.
That's the least enjoyable gig in comedy, I think,
is when they go,
could you compare the comedy tent for the day of that music festival?
And they're like, it's £500.
That's good money.
And you're like, oh, it's so soul-destroying.
Like, it's one thing to be the guy that goes on to do a set after it's been busy yeah it's another thing to stand there as you're
the person who just commentates on 2 000 people fucking off yeah that's a special type of like
oh god yeah you just you watch people leave you 12 times you just watch crowds walk it's like
like the edmund fringe festival but just fucking condensed into one particular day.
The first Edinburgh Fringe Festival I ever did,
this is how bad the numbers were.
My agent gave me a box of chocolates at the end
to say congratulations,
you've gotten through the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
And I gave everybody in the audience a chocolate
and didn't get through to the second layer.
Of the box of chocolates.
So grim that was.
I had 11 people in once
and I fucked three out.
I threw three people out.
There's a purist.
Get on board.
I thought you were saying
there was 11 people
and you fucked three of them.
We thought,
how could you go better
than a two for one?
You know that quiet Tuesday?
How about I bang three of them?
They tell 3,000 of their friends.
I mean, that is my mouth writing a check,
my penis can of cash.
Why would you kick three people out of an 11 seat?
Because they weren't on board
and the other eight were oddly on board.
Do you know the smallest number ever did in Edinburgh
was four people?
I had pulled the gig and the house had not told, the front of staff hadn't told the people.
And I tried to get in to see Flight of the Conchords.
And then I couldn't get in to Flight of the Conchords.
And I was walking back by my venue and they went, you're on.
There's four people.
Do you want to do it?
I was like, ugh.
So I did it.
John Lynn, comedian John Lynn
was the fifth person
and
I worked my hole off
to try and get some sort of
atmosphere in the room
and I said to her girl
in the front row
I said what do you do
and she goes
I'm an actress
and I said do you have a monologue
and she goes yeah
and I said do you want to do it
and she went yeah
and she did
and I'd worked my hole off
and then she did
like seven minutes
about her friend
being hit by a train
now it was very good but it was very sad whole off and then she did like seven minutes about a friend being hit by a train that was
very good but it was very sad you can't kind of get that back up again what we do is not designed
to be done to four people no this is what i don't like about the fringe is those gigs should be just
we all go nah yeah yeah like the old there's too much pressure on the audience to enjoy it
because there's only a few of them and they can't hide in the sort of madness of a crowd
and there's so much of us to be pretending we're having a good time and that we're not just like
going there's four people there's four people there's four people what's the minimum then
i think 40 in the right room can feel like a gig. Minimum 40? Yeah, genuine.
Like I've done 40.
Below that, it starts getting a bit self-conscious.
I think it's lower than that.
I think maybe 25.
20s are not a lot of people.
During the lockdown, there was this game where you could do weird,
you could do gigs to 15 people in the Republic of Ireland during COVID as long as it was outside
and they were
they were
socially distanced
15
so basically if you stood up
during a half time
at a rugby game
and talked to the team that would be the equivalent
of and they were
that's yeah
science
there was
we were so starved of comedy
though weren't you
like as a comic
you'd be like
listen there's 15 cunts
in a garden
you'd be like
I'm back baby
15 cunts in a garden
is Beyonce's next album
she's great
there's
you're a big fan
do you think
Beyonce's people
are sitting there going
finally we've got the seal of approval from Adam Rowe
We can really kick on with my career now
She's the biggest country artist in the world
Adam loves her
Yeah she's great
What do you think of her Jolene?
What?
What do you think of her Jolene?
I think it's brilliant
I think it's what the music industry's been waiting for
I've got no right to talk about it
I'm just a white guy from England
Adam had a contentious tweet this week.
Oh, what?
I deliberately tried to wind people up.
Okay.
And then got annoyed when I wound everyone up.
You see there's a flaw in that plan.
What did you tweet?
So I tweeted,
it has taken Beyonce to release an inauthentic country album
for me to finally understand cultural appropriation.
And the amount of people replying going,
hang on, she's from texas that
makes it authentic that's the only reason it works as a joke that's the only reason it's funny
look she's great she's wonderful she's talented and she's she's got a lovely bump great country
i hate beyonce i know you do i think that's yeah but you don't tweet about it I hate her fans actually yeah fucking boring what
what a shit pint
no they're just like
oh I don't know
I hate
but anyone
like I don't know
Taylor Swift fans
probably the same
you're more of like a Kelly Rowland
man you aren't you
yeah yeah
and you're all the other one
yeah
I mean your fandom
isn't massively committed
is it
yeah
who's your favourite
the third one
he only does Kelly Rowland
away though wants to avoid the tourist massively committed, is it? Who's your favourite? The third one. He only does Kelly Rowland away, though.
Wants to avoid the tourist.
I've told this story on this before,
probably a couple of times,
but during COVID in the UK,
there was a brief period of time where comedy and performance was illegal,
but conferences were legal again.
Yeah.
So I put on a conference
that was about to teach the audience
about stand-up comedy, and it was to be to teach the audience about stand-up comedy,
and it was to be taught through the medium of stand-up comedy.
And you know how we taught that?
We taught it by putting three acts in a compare in a comedy show.
And they were allowed to take notes.
That is absolutely genius.
I mean, it's French in its philosophical outlook.
Is this comedy?
If a man is talking about comedy,
is it comedy?
That's essentially what this is.
And you were okay?
Yeah.
Did you have to have a substantial meal?
Did you have to...
No, it wasn't that time
of the sort of restrictions.
It was just the substantial meal thing
hadn't come in yet.
That was a few months later.
Did anybody check this?
Did anybody check at...
Somebody stand outside afterwards
and go, did anybody learn anything? No. Because if somebody stand outside afterwards and go did anybody
learn anything?
No.
Because if nobody
learned anything
then this isn't
a conference.
I honestly think
we could have had
like a drug field
sex rave
and there would have
been no one there
and we could have
like put posters up
it just wasn't
no one gave a fuck
in Runcorn.
A drug field
sex conference Adam.
How conference
did you go?
Did you sleep
with a woman
you found mildly
attractive in a
travel lodge?
Probably. Were you go? Did you sleep with a woman you found mildly attractive in a travel lodge? Probably.
Were you there?
I was that woman.
It was great.
We were all keynote speakers,
weren't we?
Oh God, were you?
Yeah.
And did you have PowerPoint?
No, we could have though.
There was a projector ready to go.
I think we still got pictures from it.
Was that Sloss?
No.
Kai, wasn't it?
No. Was it Sloss? No. Kai wasn't it? No.
Was it
Sloss?
No it
wasn't
either.
It was
Justin
Morehouse.
Justin
Morehouse,
you,
Danny
Mack,
me and
Alfie Brown.
Oh yeah
yeah yeah.
And the
Heath.
Everybody did
lose their
run on
themselves
with that.
Yeah.
I saw
Kai,
there was
a fella
in
Dublin
and he
was in
he was
with the
masks
thing.
People did
wear masks when they were told to wear masks. And there was a guy and I looked down in an alley in Dublin and there was a guy in a mask and he was in, he was, you know, with the masks thing, like people, people did wear masks
when they were told
to wear masks
and there was a guy
and I looked down
an alley in Dublin
and there was a guy
in a mask
and he was taking heroin.
Fully injecting
and wearing a mask
and I was just looking at him
going,
is there,
do we see any irony
in this dog?
And he was like,
no point taking risks
with your health, you know?
I remember when
the Substantial Meals came in
and I went on a first date
and walked into the bar.
We'd already been for food.
So I booked a bar for afterwards
and we walked in
and they went,
right, you've got to have a pizza,
but we know you don't want it.
So we're giving everyone
who comes in two tables,
one to just leave their pizza on
and one for you.
So you can actually just sit there and have your drinks.
So you haven't just got a pizza in front of you.
So they would give you a table for two.
Yeah.
And you put your drinks on it.
The next table next to you would be empty and no one would sit there,
which covered the distance in as well.
Right.
And they would just put a pizza on that and go,
if anyone comes in like to check,
you just point to that and say,
that's my pizza.
That was the science.
There's a global pandemic
put a pizza on a different table
and you'll all be fine
it was so funny
I saw a woman on a train
who wouldn't wear a mask
and she was like
I just thought
I was on the tube
in London
she goes
I just don't like
have anything
on my face
I just find it too restrictive
she had eyelashes
fake eyelashes on
that were out to there.
Do you know,
do you know the ones,
like,
you know the ones
you see in a Nissan Micra?
You know the ones
the car was?
That's what she had.
Like,
there was a handsome dude
beside me
and she winked
at the handsome dude
beside me
and his paper
kind of slightly ruffled.
They were massive.
And you're like,
you're not.
Do you drive a Nissan Micra,
Harry?
He's just bought one.
Does his face have a car? Harry passed his driving test. Have you got the this on micro harry he's just bought one does first ever car
harry passed his driving test
have you got the eyelashes on here
he hasn't got the car yet
if we get you eyelashes
will you put them on
you absolute shagger
you used to have to sign
into the pub
walk in the pub
have you signed in
yeah I've signed in
yeah yeah yeah
right in the big show
did you do the garden gigs
did you do any of them
I didn't do any of those ones
where the driving gigs or anything like that.
I did those gigs where there was 14 or 15 people, though, you know?
In December, near a graveyard.
It was, yeah.
How long have you been going, Neil?
Because I remember you when I was starting out.
About 20 years, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Same as you.
Yeah, I remember you coming over to the Frog and absolutely humping it.
Yeah, I never used to do much here.
I used to do clubs and stuff.
I used to do Edinburgh, but it didn't...
I kind of got lucky with...
I did stuff in RTE.
Dara Breen had a panel show.
And kind of 2004 around that time.
Maxwell used to do it.
I used to do it.
And Ed Byrne used to do it.
And then once that happened,
you could kind of tour.
After a couple of years of that, you could tour a bit you know so um used to come over to edinburgh but i i kind of
let the clubs go really but we probably met about that about that yeah you know um yeah about 20
years we got um because uh harry does a bit of research for us which is very kind of him and we
we have been in discussion with uh a prison about potentially putting on a gig at a prison.
Oh, yeah.
Apparently, you have actually done a gig in a prison.
Oh, yeah.
Or did a gig in a...
Do you know Willa White?
Yeah.
Oh, we know Willa.
Willa's been on the show.
Was he in, mate?
Or was he performing?
Well, I mean, what time frame are we talking about?
Because the answer to that question is yes and yes.
Willa White,
who we all know
has the best stories
of any comedian in history.
If people don't know him,
he was a man
who did all sorts
of criminal behaviour
by his own admission
and has completely
turned his life around
and is a lovely man now
and he's a comedian.
And he's a killer comic.
He's a really nice dude,
very successful
and he has more stories
and you'll be driving,
like you talk about your first car, you'll be driving, like you talk about
your first car,
you'll be driving over a hill
somewhere,
you give him a lift
and the conversation
would start normal
and then Willie
would just turn.
So we passed a car one day
going to a gig
and Willie just goes,
that was one of the first cars
I ever stole.
And he proceeds to tell,
and if any criminal
ever happens in Dublin,
he knows the people who did it.
Like somebody robs
the post office
Willie goes
oh that'll be splitty
and he looks at his phone
and then it is the goods
we were
when we flew to Edinburgh
once we were
we were flying to Edinburgh
together
and I was at the start
and the woman goes
oh you got
it's 30 kilos
in your bag
you can't have 30 kilos
it's 27
or something like this
and I was saying
Willie you can take you
out of the prison
but I can't take the prison out of you willie opened his bag and he took by feel he
just went that that's a kilo that's about a kilo as well he did three kilos i mean to the max
picking bits out oh no no no he was bits out. Ooh, ooh, ooh. No, no, no, no. He was absolutely brilliant.
So Will organised these gigs in Mountjoy Prison
and we went in and did them.
What sort of level of prison is that?
Harmless enough for the one we did.
So there was a...
I did it with Charlotte Regan as well.
So Charlotte's very gentle
and cerebral sort of comedian.
And he's sitting there.
So Willie goes on and absolutely destroys it
right
he's heckled by his
former cellmate
and
right
fuck me
yeah
and Willie then goes
look at you
blah blah blah
and the line
I'll never forget
he goes
I say the guards
the cops didn't even
have to give you
the biscuits before
you were gone
bleh bleh bleh bleh
as if the level
of informant is fig rolls
or jammy dodgers
so your man shuts up
right
so that makes him storm
and then Willow looks
at some sort of
I don't think he'll mind
me telling this story
because he has told it as well
he looks at some prison officer
who'd been up
for something really bad
but had said nothing
and Willow goes
look at Mr. Smith there
look up on a 9-1-2
and he said nothing he knew to keep look at mr smith there look up on a 9-1-2 and he said
nothing he knew to keep his mouth shut and they all went right and i'm sitting there going to
willie he's doing local in the prison he's doing local he's postcoding the prison but he's not
doing any kind of any couples in you can't do that sort of stuff what do you need for a linen yeah who's travelled the furthest but he's having the crack
and then
so he introduces Jarlik
Jarlik goes up
and the front row
is empty
right
and then it's all
the lads sitting
and there's a lad sitting
there like this
and he's reading
the copy
the sun
or the news of the world
or something like this
and Jarlik goes
hey
why are those
those chairs empty
and the guy just looks up
and he goes oh they're for the riot.
And he looks back at his newspaper and he just shot himself.
And I was looking at Willie and Willie goes, these are kind of not head cases, you know.
And then I said to Willie, what's the way to approach this?
Just be a bit aggressive if someone slags you off, you know.
And he goes, yeah,
just be aggressive.
So I go down
and the same guy heckled me.
The same cellmate heckled me
and I looked at Willie
and Willie's like the godfather
and he's like,
like this is your,
you know,
abuse him.
And I just like,
route one,
you have nearly as big a mouth
as your sister.
I believe I said to your man
and there's a pause
and everybody went,
wah!
Oh, that pause. And then went wah oh that pause and then
oh that pause
you feel your ass just
just
would you do
same to you as well
would you do
like a catay
serial killer gig
like a prison
where like
they're bringing out the
what's the fee
what
what's the fee
10k
oh shit
wow I thought that this would be a longer discussion than that but no the thing is like What? What's the fee? 10K. Oh, shit. Wow.
I thought that this would be a longer discussion than that.
Well, the thing is, like, it's fucking...
It's Johnny Cash in it.
Everyone's got Johnny Cash in the red
when they think gig in a prison.
Yeah.
But Cat C's not that, is it?
It's not just murderers either.
It's the worst kind of people you don't want to entertain.
No, we'll make it so that it's just the murderers wing.
What are you going to stand there with?
Murderers, bank robbers,
no pedos, no nonsense.
Just murderers.
Murderers, right.
What are you in for?
See, when it came up...
Because they can watch a special for fuck all,
so why aren't you taking a ten grand?
Just go and do the stuff that's already on YouTube.
I'm a fucking patriot.
I was against it,
but now, I don't know. I was against it and I just,
but now,
I don't know.
Now knowing that it's been done,
it sounds interesting.
I don't know about Cat A though.
No, no, no.
Like this was,
this was kind of young lads
and you know.
We were just worried about
who we were doing it to.
Whether like Cat C,
maybe like,
you know,
a bagel.
That's all right, isn't it?
You've got your bagelers,
your house lovelies.
But also being,
if you're led around
by someone who
has been there
like we were waiting
to go on in the kitchen
right
and a guy comes in
and he says to Willie
alright Willie
doing a bit of cooking
is it
and Willie went
the only cooking
I did in here
was in the fucking spoon
and so we were like
Jesus Christ
yeah I do
I do it with Will
I know but I know, he was just...
But I know, yeah.
Because you're with a made man, aren't you, basically?
Yeah, yeah.
I'd do the murder again, mate.
You would do a murder again?
I'd do the murder again.
Murder as well.
It's not a problem.
The podcast I last heard was you discussing,
I mean, with remarkable enthusiasm
for blowing somebody's head off with a shotgun,
if they broke in.
I mean, there was a level of enthusiasm there
that would suggest that you would entice people in,
like leave your front door open and leave jewellery in.
Come to us.
Let's see how long you last, do you know what I mean?
Somebody wanted to just disable them, wasn't it you?
Shoot them in the legs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you were like, no, blow his head off.
Blow his fucking head off, mate.
Okay.
He's in your house.
Yeah, usually it's the kind of thing I take the piss out of Adam for, blow his head off you blow his fucking head off mate okay he's in your house yeah usually
it's the kind of thing
I take the piss out of Adam for
but the older I get
and then
yeah I think yeah
shoot him
what they doing there
but see that's
I think that's why
he'll play a murderer's gig
because he knows
he's one
one
slight burglar away
he's one burglar
but also I just see it
as like
I'm just doing a gig
and they could watch me
for free anyway I thought you were talking about as like i'm just doing a gig and they could watch me for free
anyway i thought you were talking about the breaking i'm just doing the gig i'm fucking
ripping me stairs and then some cunt comes in shoot him in the head just like hot water
i've already watched you yeah and you've made fucking no money from that apart from the seven
pence you get from a youtube advert chance yeah but the chances are in 20 years of doing stand-up five times a week or whatever,
I mean, how many gigs are you up to?
It's got to be a few thousand, 5,000 gigs.
I mean, yeah, we've played to a murder, haven't we?
Just statistically, you must have.
Yeah, so you're going to give that fee back, right?
Yeah.
Going in, though.
I'm really behind
wanting to go into a prison
I think it would be
a really interesting special
because you're not doing the gig are you
no but I'm still in the prison with you
oh yeah
Carl's first gig
what if we make
oh
no that would be good
if we get to 30,000 patrons
Carl's first gig
in a prison
why not Carl's
only ever gigs
just all your gigs ever
sorry
just the prison
they are the same thing.
Just a prison tour.
Just you only doing places that people are incarcerated.
I can't say no either.
I wasn't saying no.
Well, you guys set it up.
I went to a pretty reasonable grammar school.
None of my former schoolmates are doing life.
I'm sure you know someone.
Scottish John, you know someone, don't you? He's on the outside now. Yeah. And I'm not getting know someone Scottish John you know someone don't you
he's on the outside
no
yeah
and I'm not getting in touch
with the lads
who are in school
we're doing our mate
doesn't go and listen lad
insert name here
do us a favour
have a word with your governor
see if he'll let me come
and do 10 minutes
we just need to put a plan
this is an offline chat
we need to put a plan
together for the prison
alright
Neil are you coming over
and doing your second prison
you could be the prison guy
we're doing Broadmoor though so yeah yeah prison. Alright. Neil, you're coming over and doing your second prison. You could be the prison guy.
We're doing Broadmoor though,
so.
Yeah.
No.
Willie asked me to
do more since.
I'm doing another
gig.
I said, no.
Did you just want
to do it for the
experience?
No, Willie was
out in a car
outside my house
when he asked.
He rang you as well?
Ah, no, no.
I'm outside yours
and we're doing a prison gig.
Don't ask any questions.
Get in.
I'm in your car
is what he said.
Do you hear that revving?
That's me in your car.
How fast does this go?
No, he,
it was years ago
and he just said,
like they were like
whatever you would
describe them as category C.
They were young lads,
lots of young lads
and there's lots of people
who have
made mistakes
and their life has gone
a particular way
and maybe
any of us could have
gone that way
and that's how he
kind of cast it
and they were
they weren't
you know
is cat C the lowest one
is it cat A
is the B
and what's B
just even try
and slap someone
what's cat S
is that what happens
to your car?
What are cats?
Oh yeah.
On AutoTrader.
It's a pet, isn't it?
On AutoTrader,
if your car's a write-off
and they try and resell it.
D's the TV presenter.
Yeah.
Cat Dealey.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A bunch of pricks.
Stop being so catty.
Cat S,
with the full S,
is that horrendous
animated film with James Corden.
Cat A is the bad guys.
Cat B is the oh.
Cat C is like oh.
I'm sorry, what?
What's Cat B is?
Oh.
Like oh, nearly.
It's like armed robbery.
No, that's Cat A.
Is it just robbery?
I think, Google it. I'm on it.
Cat B is neither one thing or the other.
It's like...
I'm sure we've checked this one.
What's a second world country?
Like, there's first world countries
and third world countries.
What's a second world country?
Wales.
Just slightly shit.
Do they exist?
Yeah, I don't know,
but all you ever hear is first world and third world.
Right, Cat A, high security prisons.
Male prisoners who, if they were to escape,
pose the most threat to the country.
Cat B, either...
To the country? local or training prisons.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
They're training people to be prisoners?
Yeah.
This doesn't matter.
I'm going to go on a different website.
It's like when the bus drivers get talked by the fella.
You have to get on the bus, don't you?
You have to go to the prison.
I'd do the women's prison.
Would you?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You think because they're all just being lesbians, don't you?
Yeah, because I'm...
He's got started
and just has been black and gone.
This is a great documentary.
Lesbians love me, mate.
I'm at one with the lesbians.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, they love me.
You do look like a bit of a lesbian.
Yeah, exactly.
We get on well,
we're into the same thing.
You can play five aside with them.
So, cat A is when you might try to escape.
So, they think you're going to try and escape
and you'd be a danger to the public.
Cat B is where prison staff think
you should have no chance of escaping.
Cat C is where they think you will not escape,
but that you cannot be trusted in an open prison.
Oh, hang on.
And there's a cat D.
And cat D is an open prison.
Open prisons, isn't it?
You can go home. It's all online, that one. An there's a Cat D. And Cat D is an open prison. Open prison's in it. You can go home.
It's all online, that one.
An open prison, you can go home.
It's centre box.
You get like weekend release and stuff.
You may have your own cell with your own keys.
With your own keys?
Hang on, what's this?
That's just a house, isn't it?
This is just a council flat.
That's a council flat.
Like, I can go home.
I have my own keys.
You don't do this.
Who runs this?
Is it escape to the country?
Well, it wouldn't be escape.
But that sounds like Kirstie and Phil
finding you a cell.
Going to the final.
Cat D must be amazing.
Right, escape plan, boys.
Just wander off that way.
Just go through that little part.
Do we have to dig a tunnel?
No.
No, no, no.
Just remember your keys.
Just turn the heating off, though.
So take me through that again.
Cat C is they think you can't be trusted,
but they're going to give you the benefits of the doubt.
Cat B is they should definitely be locked up,
so make sure you do lock it.
And Cat A is also put the snip on.
Yeah, they might run away.
Yeah, Cat A is the A-listers.
They're the big boys.
It's that, isn't it?
It's A-list, B-list, C-list in terms of celebrities,
in terms of prisoners.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you would think that it was based on
how dangerous you were
rather than when you might escape or not.
Yeah, but I think they're mutually exclusive, aren't they?
If you're a big dangerous drug lord,
it's very likely for you to get broken up.
But what if you were done for fraud,
but just really tasty?
What if you just...
You're a fraudster, but they're just like,
don't like a fucking look of it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just really untrustworthy.
Yeah.
What if you had hands like shovels?
You have really, really sturdy hands,
but you were a fraudster.
Like, you're going to dig a tunnel.
A low level criminal,
but you have like fucking seven foot.
What if your criminal underground nickname
was the vole or the mole?
And you're underground.
I'd love to shoot a vole.
Cap D it says is for low threat
and also murderers who are coming towards the end
of a lengthy sentence.
Yeah.
It's like a low threat.
Just whispers.
Yeah.
I'll fucking kill you.
Open.
It's basically,
you've done 30 years
and you've been rehabilitated
and now we want to push you
back into the open world.
What's this call?
Do I believe in rehabilitation?
Not in prison, no.
Really?
Prisons are not a place to rehabilitate.
You think once a murderer
always a murderer?
No. I think prisons are not made to rehabilitate. You think once a murderer, always a murderer? No.
I think prisons are not made to rehabilitate.
I think they're made to...
Listen, there's a uni.
What is the point of prison to you?
Is it to deter, to punish, to rehabilitate?
What's the point?
Is it all three?
No, there's loads, but what's the main point?
I think it's to punish and rehabilitate.
It's also a deterrence, though, isn't it?
Don't do that, you're going to prison.
Yeah.
But what's the most important one?
The most important one doesn't matter.
It doesn't.
Still all three.
The most important is rehabilitation.
Punishment and rehabilitation
don't really go together, do they?
Because it just doesn't happen in the real world.
Oh, this is like the naughty kids at your school.
Right, you've killed five people,
have a quad bike.
People can have like,
things can have more than one
like joint equal purpose.
A hundred percent,
but in the prison system, it doesn't work.
You think the focus isn't on rehabilitation?
No, it's not. Yeah, he's right.
Honestly, Carl never shuts up about prison reform.
He's known for it.
I study criminology.
I just never spoke about it.
To be honest with you, it's the only reason I'm on this podcast.
I didn't really want to talk to you two.
It's Carl.
I want to see what he thinks about the recidivism rates for...
Oh, unbelievable.
My lecturer was a prison abolitionist.
She taught criminology
and wanted to get rid of prison.
I'm a slavery abolitionist.
Good lad.
You're still against this.
Very progressive of you.
No, I think, you know...
Still not like it.
I still think it was a great thing to abolish.
That's me, though.
Prisons are awful.
I'm not saying I've got the answer,
but prisons are.
But what would, like,
if you got put in charge of prison reform right now,
what's your instinct?
Chain gangs.
Chain gangs.
Oh, that'd be amazing, wouldn't it?
Just on the M56.
Woo, la la la.
Breaking stone.
Anyone? Chain gangs?
No?
I mean, I think we-
I nearly did a, I think we... I nearly did it.
I don't know if you heard.
No, I heard it.
I got a woman!
I think we all got really nervous.
Community-based prisons, when you see places like
Bastoy Prison, where it's on
an island and stuff, and basically
they live on that. Their punishment
is being cut off
from the world.
Yeah, but to some people
that's just like
a really expensive holiday.
That's Bora Bora, isn't it?
Does it look like Bora Bora?
So you marry people
and you get sent on a honeymoon.
That doesn't seem any like...
No, your punishment is
you are no longer
part of society.
You don't see your family.
You're not part of this community.
You would put way more money
into prison courses
and education.
Stop them being criminals
rather than going,
use it all, shit,
be together
and then come out sound.
So you don't think
the island is a good idea?
No, I do.
No, he does.
He wants to send them
all to Ibiza.
Oh, that island.
What about Anglesey?
Isle of Man.
Which islands?
Yeah, the Isle of Man
is a great one.
It's weird over there.
That's what Australia
is essentially, isn't it? It's just, it's been over there that's what Australia is essentially isn't it
it's just
they've gone a bit far with it
I've never seen you
give a shit about prisons
yeah no I do
obviously you studied criminology
it's exactly what you're
talking about isn't it
yeah but they just
went a bit far didn't they
what like distance wise
built Sydney up a house
that was too far
they got too far over there
basically I just think
prisons are awful awful and they interest me loads but I think I'm not saying over there. Basically, I just think prisons are awful, awful.
They interest me loads, but I think...
I'm not saying I've got the answers.
I just don't think what happens right now works.
Do you reckon more gigs?
More gigs, yeah.
More Will.i.white gigs.
But more things that are going to entertain them.
Oh, the killers or whatever.
Things that are going to help rehabilitate and educate them.
They're usually a product...
Sorry, did you mean the bad men?
What?
What did I say?
The killers. Get them in there, it'd be great.
They're usually a product of where they live, aren't they?
It's usually fucking because they live in a ship.
What about psychopaths?
They're in hospital, aren't they? They don't go to prison, they go to hospital.
They go to Hospital Island.
In fairness,
everything that you've thrown at him, he's answered.
If you're mentally ill, you need
fixing medically.
Yeah, but there's no psychopaths in Alderay. If you're mentally ill, you need fixing medically. Yeah, but like,
there's no psychopaths in Alderay.
Like, they're in like prison or something, aren't they?
Correct, yeah.
I think if you're mentally ill,
you go to prison
or you go to hospital
or start a podcast.
Oh, that would rip.
What do you mean?
It's ripping.
Exhibit A, Exhibit B.
From the psych ward.
There's a famous island
that's going at the minute
that needs a new repurposing.
What's that?
Oh, Epstein.
Oh, okay.
Basically,
it's a guy called
Jeffrey Epstein
used to traffic children
and fuck them on an island.
Hang on,
the New York financier?
Yeah.
I haven't heard this.
Have you been?
What?
Has Annie Z...
No, I think I would've
heard about this.
No.
Jeffrey Epstein?
Come on.
Tell us more about this then.
He was flying kids and dwarves to this island
and some of them were doing maths
and some of them were getting fucked.
And anyway, he was about to expose everyone
who was fucking the kids
and then he killed himself in prison.
I'd imagine he wouldn't have any friends.
Surely if you were his friend,
you'd stop being his friend
once he was convicted and stuff.
No, apparently a lot of people are still being like,
he was my mate.
No way.
And would they have done a Newsnight interview
about being his friend
still, would they?
You should have
knocked your finger
on the pulse,
by the way.
This can't be real.
What?
Former presidents,
are they involved?
I believe so.
I think the main regret
a lot of these people had
was signing the guest book.
I think that's why
they really let themselves down.
Bill Clinton was here.
Cracking time.
Oh, what have I done that for?
Bill,
Bill,
Hillary,
I,
that,
and kids.
Allegedly. I hate prison have I done that for? Bill, Lord, Shirley, I, Dad and kids. Allegedly.
I hate prison.
I could talk all day about this,
but I don't think we should.
Yeah, that'd be a good island.
So which prison are you going to do?
What?
Which prison are you going to do?
Broadmoor, we'll look now.
Really?
They have done stand-up gigs, eh?
I know, yeah.
Why not a local prison around here?
Broadmoor's not that far away.
Okay.
Isn't Manchester?
No.
Ashworth, that's around there as well.
Where's Broadmoor?
Is Broadmoor not...
Is Broadmoor in Liverpool?
Broadmoor's a hospital.
It's a...
Where's it?
Berkshire.
You're thinking of Ashworth?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Am I?
Ashworth, yeah.
Yeah.
Berkshire, Manchester.
Yeah.
That was the prisons
I think if we're
going to do it
I think if we're
going to do it
you've got to go
for the big one
would you prefer
to host that gig
or would you prefer
to close
middle spot
I'm quite happy
whatever spot
you want to give me
you know what I mean
open middle close
whatever you want
he's doing a double
with two prisons
though so he wants
to go
it's a tight double
is there a rule
if you play one prison
within a certain radius
you can't do another prison?
They don't pay for your hotel.
Yeah, yeah.
And the worry thing
is when the stag do's in.
You're like,
whoa.
She is a lucky lady.
Yeah, I think
if we're going to do it
you've got to go big.
Because like,
if we go,
oh, we did this cat sea prison
with all these people
with unpaid parking fines
no one's going to give a fuck
what are you in for
no one's going to give a fuck about that
it's only funny if there's murderers there
and they're fuming with us
it's only funny
there's murderers in sea we've just said that
there's murderers in sea
who are not really murderers anymore like
they you know they've had enough birthday cake and they're like you know what i'm not gonna do it
again that's it is do they birth their cake is where we're going wrong that if we get enough
birthday cake into somebody call it give them loads more calling the caterpillar everywhere
watch people comment oh man there's a rapist don't deserve nice things i know
no beds i'm already pre-fucking
exit yeah but you're saying you do want to give them nice things i do yeah yeah so that you don't
know no i'm saying i can see the comments you're tying yourself in nazi sunshine that's what you're
doing is there something you want to admit to make prison better so when i get there it's all
this is i'm thinking they're going to dig up a body and you're like you've done a lot of prehab here
and you've said
listen I think prisoners
such as myself
in the future.
He told me how he'd get away
with murder years ago.
Yeah.
Years ago.
I've always suspected
he might be a murderer.
That's why I've kept him so close.
What was the way
I said get away with it?
I forgot.
You said you kill someone
completely random.
Oh random yeah.
Oh yeah.
It's got to be totally random.
I feel like you saying it on one of the most popular podcasts in england probably increases your chances of
being caught yeah there's loads of murders there's loads of podcasts yeah i do it with
i'm saying off menu you fuck then i do it with an umbrella what i put like something naughty on the
end of an umbrella like a needle and just walked I go fuck off keep walking yeah is there something else
on the needle
or is it just an
inconvenient scratch
ah
yeah
where did you
give me your PCG
this is going to get you
in five to six months
I was like
I don't know
ricin on it or something
that's how they did it
somebody was killed
in London years ago
really
yeah a spy
look that up
Liffing Yanko
no that was
that was Salisbury wasn't it
he played for CSK Moscow
left winger
that's how they got
Eazy-E as well
didn't they
Georgie Markov
Bulgarian
was killed
on Waterloo Bridge
by a poisoned
umbrella
fuck off
yeah
Mary Poppins
you fucking hack
Mary Poppins did
25 years for us
they just went with
her or Rihanna
were the
two obvious suspects?
Oh, she'd be so popular in fucking prison
just pulling smack and telephones out of that bag.
That was a Mary Poppins joke, ladies and gents.
I spoke with Rihanna.
Are you going to confuse with David Copperfield?
By the way, I must be smart if the spies are doing it.
100%.
And that's how they got EZA.
Apparently, they stabbed them with their sweet AIDS.
Apparently, it was Shug Night
when they beat them up
if you're watching Shug
I'm not saying nothing
he said it himself
on like Jimmy Fallon
didn't he
full of hip hop conspiracy
today Carl
if I would have done it
this is how I would have done it
kind of thing
like OJ
can I ask a question
about Irish comedy Neil
which I'm a big fan of
before we do a 30th
minute on prisons yeah and prison reform um we uh i'm a big fan of tommy tiernan yes as i think we
all are yeah yeah absolutely is he held in a sort of regard like kitson is held over here is it
with irish comedy like i don't maybe this is an ignorance on my part but like adam was over in cork yeah
galway sorry and he was doing like a preview in the corner of a warm-up show like one in the
afternoon for an hour while everyone's on their lunch yeah like 50 60 of us in a pub and it was
just unbelievable yeah no he is held in that regard yeah he's he's uh but i suppose he is more
popular kind of mainstream appeal than kids and so he hasn regard yeah he's but I suppose he is more popular kind of
mainstream appeal
than Kitson
so he hasn't
so he's done that rare thing
of holding on
well
he looks like
he is doing what
he wants to do all the time
he looks like he's not
compromising
that's what I always think
so
he just happens to be
brilliant at it
just because it's popular
doesn't mean it's not brilliant
it's like the Beatles
just because it's popular
doesn't mean it's not brilliant
I think most people think
he's brilliant and I think most people think he's brilliant.
And I think the stuff,
like, I don't know
if you saw the show
he did a few years ago,
which was him going out
and trying to improvise
the whole thing, right?
And he did a tour of it.
I think,
so like he wouldn't
ask the audience anything.
So he wouldn't get
any outside impotence
or stimulus.
He would just go on
and start talking.
Oh, so just riff on his own?
Yeah, yeah.
With no outside,
what do you do?
Where are we here?
What did you do in prison?
What do you do?
So not a crowd work special.
No, no, no.
A truly on the spot ad lib.
Yeah, and sometimes it was hard watching.
Sometimes it was kind of amazing.
But that to me is somebody
who's kind of mastered his art
and probably is maybe like,
I've done all that.
I'll try and do something else entirely.
Pretty much the entire hour
we see him was
was it the gospel according to Matthew
it was just
all about that
I love it
he has this weird connection
to people
he has this
it is art
yeah
and I know it's really pretentious to say that
but I've only ever seen art
like two or three times
and once was with him
I saw a gig with him in Kilkenny
a million years ago
and it was like 12 o'clock 1 o'clock at night and he went on and he was with him. I saw a gig with him in Kilkenny a million years ago and it was like
12 o'clock,
one o'clock at night
and he went on
and he was talking about
and he goes,
something like,
I used to love mass.
He wasn't religious
but he says,
I used to love the songs
and he started singing a song
and everybody sang
the song back to him.
Like 500 people
sang a song
like a hymn
from our childhood
and Kitson was
standing beside me actually
and Kitson looked at beside me actually and Kitson
looked at me
and I went
yeah this sort of
stuff happens with them
he has this connection
to an audience
that's kind of
extraordinary
yeah
and then also
just killer
funny
oh yeah yeah yeah
some of the highlight
reel of Tommy Tiernan
is just like
but he has wildness
he has devilment in him
he like it's not safe
it's not
no
there's this kind of
low-key
trickster spirit
that you know you're going to be teased.
But isn't that all good comedy?
I hate comedy.
Squeaky clean comedy.
You're like, you want someone who just goes studs up a little bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the eyes light up and you don't know.
Like, it's kind of weird sort of story.
Storyteller around a campfire sort of shit.
Like, I think he's brilliant at that.
I just remember the...
His control of the pace and of the hour
was beyond insane
when we seen him
because he would just,
he would get to the sort of crescendo of a bit.
Yeah.
And then he would take like a really long...
And, you know, and then it'd go right back to like no momentum.
Yeah.
There's a man who never played Watford junglers.
Yeah.
Is that fair to say?
He would just immediately reset it.
And it was like he sort of really slowly built up
and then it would sort of get to here.
And then it would.
But that's like jazz though, isn't it?
It's a guy just playing with the form and stuff.
Yeah, that's exactly how good he is.
It was jazz.
The African priest doing mass.
This is an old bit of his that is still online somewhere.
Yeah.
Zacchaeus comes down from the tree.
It's so wonderful.
Yeah.
Just go, if you're not a Tommy Tiernan fan,
go and have a look.
Where's your favourite place to play in Ireland?
Like, as comics, where are we missing out? Because I hear... vicar street's brilliant well yeah we've done we did a live show
there street's legendary uh there's places like i like rural theaters are absolutely amazing because
sometimes their people are delighted that you're there that you that you've kind of turned up
uh kill kenny is meant to be unbelievable with the festival the festival's brilliant yeah I like North of the Border
because of a proper
dark sense of humour
like that comics
tend to go for
and there's like
sort of
I remember there was a guy
in the front row
of the gig once
and I said
what are you doing
he goes I'm a paramedic
and I'm a child
so I said
have you ever pulled
anything out of
anybody's arse
and he went
aww
not at work
like this
and his wife just went,
oh, like this.
And nobody could look at the two of them
in the eye for the rest of the gig.
And she got up to go to the loo
and had a very slight limp.
And everybody just kind of,
you could feel the whole audience,
I don't want to discuss it.
But there's a proper level of messing there
that I like. That arena uh in the sc arena
in the ice hockey arena in belfast is savage gig savage gig because it's big enough to have that
roar but small enough to still for you to to fuck around with it which yeah you should definitely
definitely paul smith did it a few times on his last tour and just that was some of the best stuff
he's ever done.
Shane Todd's selling it out in November, isn't he?
Have you noticed any change in your audience from doing like Dancing With The Stars
and doing that more mainstream stuff?
Have you noticed any changes?
Fucking nearly fucking mainstream.
I wasn't on it long enough for that.
Oh, the great thing about that-
Oh, did you get hoed off?
Well, so you don't get hoed off well so you don't get
hoed off
the worst thing
is you can
the worst thing
you can do
on that is
do okay
so you do okay
you're mid table
and you're like
we're safe
and then people
even if people
are fans
there's no crossover
between your
and Des
Fisher rang me
Des is properly
intense
he goes
man you need to
canvas
I said what do you
mean
he goes
canvas you need to get everybody to said, what do you mean? He goes, canvas.
You need to get everybody
to vote for you.
And I was like,
is that a thing?
Can you do that?
But he was right.
Has Des Bishop done it?
Des did it, yeah.
And Des is quite a good dancer.
He was,
to use your parlance,
hoid off.
Hang on,
but is Des back in America now?
He's back in America, yeah.
So he's come back over to do...
No, no, he did it years ago
and he was kind of
hoofed out too early
given how good a dancer he is
but it's not about
how good a dancer you are
like I was mid-table
when we were hoofed out
if you had been terrible
people would try and save you
whereas you were mid-table
you're like
we're grand here
but like the outfits man
you cannot
the only thing you do
like you have to go in
and go I'm up for this
I don't care what you wear
just throw it.
But like a 40 year old man in dungarees, you look like a paedophile and the object of a paedophile's affection at the same time.
That's what you look like.
You look like someone should be handing you a balloon and then you're going to use the balloon for some nefarious purposes.
But you just go knock yourself out.
I'm going to show you some pictures. I'm going to find some pictures. Oh yeah. But you just go, knock yourself out. Have you got a...
I'm going to find some pictures.
Oh, yeah. Sorry, Neil.
We can't help.
We need to make that... Oh, yeah.
There you go. What's that one?
This one. No, that's Ghostbusters. That wasn't
great. The first two outfits are amazing.
Oh, there you go. We've made
it a more bigger...
Is that Ghostbusters? Oh, sorry. The middle one there. There you go. Here made it a more bigger is that Ghostbusters
oh sorry
yeah the middle one there
there you go
here
no down
down that one
look at that
oh
Neil
a black sort of
oh
sequined number
sequined
bolero jacket
oh
and you get
you got to keep these
well no I brought in
my own clothes
that was mine
yeah
I look like Elton John
at an Orange Order parade
is how I would describe that.
Look at that.
That's so funny.
And then,
so they say to you about fake tan,
right?
That's the big thing.
So they say,
will we fake tan you?
And I went,
well, I don't have time.
I'm doing a gig in Limerick tonight.
And they went,
well, your arms are going to be out.
And I went, okay.
And they said,
well, we can fake tan half of you
and I went alright
so they
faked tan
to be the
waist
and then the rest of you
is pale Celtic
so you look like
20 Benton and Hedges
basically
I was fully convinced
I was going to have
a car accident
and going down
to the limerick that night
and you'd be sheared
limb from limb
and they'd never be able to put the bodies back together
because they were like,
he appears to have been in the car
with some sort of Spanish lady.
Yeah, it's absolutely brilliant crack to do,
but it's fucking terrifying.
Terrifying.
It looks difficult.
It looks hard work,
the training, the week,
going up to the performances.
Well, what they do at the start,
you have a brilliant choreographer and she's like, the week, going up to the performances. Well, what they do at the start, you have a brilliant choreographer,
and she's like, okay, we're going to do this.
We're going to do this step and this step
and this step and this step.
And after you don't get that five times in a row,
she goes, okay, we're not going to do that.
We're going to do this now.
And then if you don't get that, she goes,
can you stand there and do that?
Right?
So they're very good at kind of matching your level
but it's
I've never been more
scared than anything
you still dancing
no
everybody always
asks you that
you gonna continue
no fuck off
I did it for money
and it was being
trained by a world champion
if I
if I couldn't
do it well
with her
Neil's still
fake tanning himself
oh no
very much but only the same half.
Because it looks so good.
No, but I would recommend anybody to do it.
It's absolutely terrifying, though.
Would you do it?
Come on, do it.
Do it.
I think you're nailed on for it.
Do it.
I think you're going in the jungle one day,
and I just hope this podcast is still going
when you're in the jungle.
Oh, God. Oh, God. Yeah, the offence, archaeology. Oh, my God. in the jungle one day and I just hope this podcast is still going when you're in the jungle.
Oh God.
Oh God.
Yeah, the offence,
archaeology.
I win.
Never stop in this podcast.
If I'm ever in the jungle,
it will be while this is still going.
And we'll carry it on and people will be voting for him
and he'll win.
Yeah.
Dancing on ice.
Shoot me in the fucking head.
Dancing on ice in the jungle.
I'm waiting for the crossover.
Would you do the jungle?
Yeah.
Would you do the jungle?
No.
Would you not do any...
Mate, I can't eat chicken eggs.
I'm not eating
cockroach bollocks.
What the fuck's an eggs?
Yeah, I meant...
No, because over there
don't we have to eat
dinosaur eggs?
I mean, he's right.
I mean, generally,
I would take eggs
to eat chicken eggs.
I've just never heard
them called chicken eggs before.
I'm like,
what the fuck's a chicken egg?
Just an egg.
Hiya, love.
Can I please have the chicken eggs on toast, please?
What eggs?
You've not specified what eggs.
We've got crocodile, emu.
No, just two scrambled chicken eggs, please.
Two scrambled chicken eggs.
I like planetary gravity.
That's what I like.
It's just gravity.
No, no, I like to be unbelievably specific.
Earth gravity.
Oh, God.
But no.
Jürgen.
Jürgen Klopp.
Klopp.
Jürgen Klopp.
Fuck my life.
Chicken eggs, Benedict,
please, love.
That'll do me.
I'm such a spanner.
I saw it happen in real time. I saw you say itanner I saw it happen in real time
I saw you say it
I saw him realise
what he was going to say to you
I saw him get excited by that
and then
oh it was beautiful
why would that pull me off it
if that was written on a menu
it does
chicken eggs
do you like porky bacon
pig bacon chicken eggs yeah but like I suppose if you're a fussy eater you might as well I'll be out It makes me not... Chicken eggs. Do you like porky bacon? Pig bacon.
Chicken eggs?
Yeah, but like,
I suppose if you're a fussy eater,
you might as well,
I'll be out.
Because it's all horrible, isn't it?
Like, normal food is horrible to me.
So what difference is it like...
Would you have a witch's club?
I just met,
I did a show where we met
a survivalist in Ohio.
Right.
And I got on really well with him.
And it was about this
kind of end of the world stuff.
And he goes,
here's your dinner.
And he gave me a skinned grey squirrel.
Would you?
So he had the skinned grey squirrel in this hand.
And he had the head and the pelt of the squirrel in that hand.
Another question you were about to ask, Dan.
Yeah.
Can you just ask him immediately?
Would you eat something like that?
He's never eaten an egg. Can I just tell you,
I'm a fussy eater, right?
Yeah.
I don't eat chicken eggs.
Yeah.
I eat pig bacon.
Okay.
And I sometimes eat cow beef, right?
Okay.
And I eat chicken chicken.
Chicken chicken.
Chicken chicken.
Chicken chicken.
But if you took the meat
off a squirrel,
Yeah.
and you put it on like a, like a Turkish, like, grill, and you put it on a Turkish grill,
and then put it in a wrap...
Hang on.
That's going to be the biggest one ever.
That'll make you the new bell.
I'd have squirrel kebab.
Barley.
Every time you do it, you try and break them.
Okay, let me rephrase that.
You hadn't had Doner's until about six weeks ago.
And it was nice.
He doesn't like gravy, Neil.
Also, by the way, shout out Donnie,
which has probably got squirrels in it.
Let's be honest.
Well, okay.
That was not the situation.
The situation was...
Oh, over at Open Fire.
Survivalists.
Squirrel in one hand.
Squirrel's family looking on.
Oh, yeah. Like a sylvanian family member
like a sylvanian family member funeral quentin tarantino sylvanian families yeah yeah pelt and
head of squirrel in this hand yeah looks like the thing you put on the top of a golf club and you
put it back in yeah that's what it looked like and he says will you eat this and hands me the
squirrel hang on hang on was he not putting over the fire a bit oh no no no and we're not eating put it back in. That's what it looked like. And he says, will you eat this and hands me the squirrel.
Hang on, hang on.
Was he not putting over the fire a bit?
Oh, no, no, no.
We're not eating it raw.
Yeah, look,
it's up to me to put the squirrel or squirrel, squirrel,
as you would call it,
to put it on the fire.
Now, would you eat that squirrel?
The first time he had fish and chips.
Yeah.
Rishi Sunak was prime minister.
You ate it to help out. Yeah, it was eight weeks minister. You able to help us?
Yeah, it was eight weeks ago.
That's frightening.
You scare the food.
What was squirrel like?
What was it comparison?
What meat is it closest to?
Very like possum.
You asked for that.
I did.
Everyone always goes gamey. No, it was fine. Gamey. I don't know what that means. I did. Everyone always goes, gamey.
No, it was fine.
Gamey.
I don't know what that means.
Chicken game.
Yeah, chicken game.
It's a great film.
Very strong flavours, like pigeon.
Oh, I'd smash a pigeon.
If you read the menu,
it was like carbonara, bolognese, squirrel,
you would rip that.
I'd be like,
that'd be a weird Italian restaurant.
We do some traditional,
some non-traditional.
You're saying you'd have a squirrel wrap?
I never have a pineapple on a squirrel.
You'd never have a squirrel wrap?
I'm telling you right now, you get the squirrel meat out,
you take it down the lift, get it on the fucking grill,
put some chips on the side, and smash it.
Do you know what squirrel meat is in this point?
Yeah, when we were in Bahrain, we got taken out by the guy that was running the gig.
He took us to a late night,
it was, I think they're loosely calling it a restaurant.
It looked like a kebab house,
but there was dudes sitting around.
And he took us down there and he was like,
yeah, if tourists don't come here.
And we walked in and the low,
no one was rude, but they were staring at us like,
what the fuck are you doing here?
We were like downtown Manamar
or whatever it's called in Bahrain.
And he got meat out
and what they do,
they have really large flatbreads
and then just pile the meat in the middle,
like just unload it in the middle
and you pull a bit of meat off,
pull a bit of bread off,
put the meat in,
you make your own little kebabs.
And they told us one of the meats was camel meat.
And I smashed it.
Now, afterwards, afterwards, they were like,
you knobheads, it wasn't really camel meat.
But we were like, I don't know.
I think it was probably lamb.
Have you ever had duck?
But I ate it, yeah.
Because it's in kebab form.
I like that.
So you eat it in kebab form?
Right, if you want to do Dan versus kebab food,
you'd find that I was into it.
You find me a squirrel, you fucking cook it up.
It's basically if you can see a face of it or not, is it?
No, I just don't.
I'm just a bit of an eight-year-old when it comes to taste.
Would you have a camel bollock kebab?
No, I think you've found my line there.
Yeah, I want the garlic mayo to come from a tub,
not the actual jizz of the bowl.
I know.
I'm not into that.
How well do you think you do on I'm a Celeb?
Would you be able to eat all that stuff?
I'd give it a good go,
but I'd probably throw up a lot.
Yeah.
I'm competitive.
Yeah.
So like if I was in I'm a celeb and someone came back
and they'd done the challenge and they were like oh one star sorry we're having fucking
toenails for tea yeah i'd want them dead they're from the world i would
i heard that like i would just yeah that's where i think you'd make the best television
when someone was being shit
you're such a shit house
like what
you wouldn't be able
to hide that reaction
I wouldn't want to hide it
you wouldn't be supportive
at all
hungry Adam
hungry Adam
calling someone
a stupid cunt
on ITV
would be phenomenal
just Michaela Strachan
just really upset
and you go
I'd just be like
what are you doing
why are you even here you should
be catching the food just tell them you want to go if you're not gonna fucking lick a kangaroo's
cock or whatever give a fucking hippo a blowy whatever the challenge was just get it done
i think forget about you being on the show when When they need to update the look, I think you need to be the man.
Just sort, you know, just do what you...
And because I'd be like that with them,
by the time they come round to me doing it,
I'd be like, I'll show you how to fucking suck a hippo off.
Watch.
Everyone's having a fucking call on the catapult.
Do you know what a dry bummer mama says?
Come on.
What are we here for?
This is what we play for.
Not even in the challenge.
Adam Rowe has gone
rogue and he's wanking off kangaroos.
What the fuck is a hippo doing
in Australia? I don't know, but he
loves getting noshed off.
If you were starving and they went, you can have Christmas nachos
unlimited, but you've got to suck this hippo off.
Would you do it?
You don't want to see a hippo open their mouth fully.
That's what's happening underwater.
That's a difficult animal to...
You're starving,
10 days in,
Christmas nachos,
and they go,
don't suck that.
Hang on,
this is so ridiculous.
Is the hippo stood up like,
hey, I'm a hippo,
or is it lying down like,
what?
Is it?
Hang on.
It's the position
of the cock itself.
Is it consensual?
Am I...
The hippo's game.
No, you're not.
You're not forcing.
I'm not forcing.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. No. The hippo's there like that.
The hippo gives you the bobble.
As we said a long time ago, you can't it's got to be consensual past a certain size
of animal. You can't. You can't rape a bison.
No, you've got to want it.
You can't. The hippo's there like this going
hey, I'm a hippo, you know what I mean?
Draw him like one of your French girls, Dan.
He's leaning back. Can you Google how big a hippo's dick is and i absolutely know that's in the bookmarks you have already
but you are neil delamere dancing with the stars you are big as a hippo
and dressed as a hippo all right that'd be fineive man. Two and a half metres.
What?
Go back up.
The average length of a hippo is...
That's just a full hippo.
What kind of hippos are you, see?
Two and a half metres.
Adam.
Have you ever been to the zoo, Adam?
It's a sexy zoo.
Weird, sexy zoo.
Look at that.
I'm going to say it's like 12 inches.
No, it's got to be more than that.
Bigger?
Yeah.
It is African.
Yeah, 12 inches isn't that big.
It doesn't...
Mature content!
Oh, my God.
Oh.
Yeah, I'm out.
I'm out.
There must be a website that says the size of the average hippocampus.
It's like it's been wiped from the internet.
I know we can't put that picture online,
but can you just save that?
I think that should be the thumbnail.
It could be my wallpaper.
This is why we need Attenborough's number, isn't it?
Something's happening here,
because it's literally not on the internet.
There's an animal penis chart here.
I'm on it.
So apparently they're similar to a gorilla
in terms of cock size.
Oh, well, now I know.
An adult gorilla's penis is only two inches long.
Oh.
There you go.
You feel at home there.
Very familiar.
You'd be shucking yourself off that, wouldn't you?
Let's all do the same joke about my small dick.
In answer to your question, yes.
No one's got any idea.
Shall we have a break?
Yeah.
You know that half hour chat?
That was 56 minutes.
Oh, God.
Lids, do us a favour, yeah?
You love us, don't you?
You love this podcast.

and where do we
find your tickets
neildellamere.com
I also do a podcast
called
Why Would You Tell Me That
with a friend of mine
we do random
shit
so we talk to people
so like we had the guy
who invented Bailey's
the other day
this guy in the 70s
an ad man in England
went I wonder what
if we just
horse whiskey
into Irish cream
wonder what happens there
you become a millionaire
he got 3000 pounds
wow
Bailey's is sold
billions and billions
and billions of quids worth
or we talk
we had Susie Dent on
talking about the origin of words we talk we had Susie Dent on talking about the Origin Awards
we talk
we talk about
just anything that
remotely that interests us
so people can check that out as well
why would you tell me that
you're one of the few comics
who's done
real countdowns
several times
because like there's two countdowns
isn't it
there's the Catsford's countdown
and then there's regular countdown
but you're regularly in Dictionary Corner
with Susie
yeah yeah
she's classed
like she's just
and she looks amazing.
I said that.
She, like...
She's been on television
for 30 years.
She makes Paul Rudd
look like Len Goodman,
I think.
She just looks amazing.
No one's ever said that.
No, I think it might be
the first time
anybody's ever said that, yeah.
That sentence has never
been put together before.
She looks like she's 25.
And she's playing the game,
isn't she?
Yeah.
Have they got a computer back there?
Or is it her?
You know when in Dictionary Corner there's a guest on
and they go, we've also got.
You're like, Susie's given the fucking answer, aren't you?
No, so you're sitting beside Susie in Dictionary Corner
and she, if you don't get a word, she will, you know,
go, that's there and write down something.
And you go, that's what it is.
Because everyone's playing the game.
Oh, yeah.
They're not just watching.
Yeah.
Is that how it is manageable
for the people that are doing it?
Because she's been doing it for fucking ages.
But also, the guests on now are just unbelievable.
Because they all play each other online.
So I was on it one day,
and the guy was a poker player and he got two nine letter words
in his first three or four rounds.
And when he got to conundrum,
he pressed the buzzer,
got to conundrum,
then looked back at the clock
to see how long it took him.
Like that's how confident he was.
And like he was like,
he was like a player.
Is this like Premier League football?
Like any champion now would smash a champion from the 90s.
I think so.
I think they'd absolutely smash it.
Yeah, because back then,
there wasn't any online way to prove you were good at it.
It was just people applying and going,
I can do countdown.
And they're like, I've got a three, a two.
And there was less words.
What?
There was less words back then.
How many more words are there?
There's words out of the dictionary every single year
That's a very good point
There are literally more words to choose from
Right
I've got a nine, bumber clark
I'm not having that
Surely there's not that many new words
But there are some new words
He's right
It took you a second though If you'd have got that quick I'd have taken the slam What did you say? but there are some new words he's right that's a ten letter word so now when
when they go
took you a second though
if you'd have got that quicker
I'd have taken the slam
what did you say
it's a ten letter word
he just literally
he just counted the letters
and then when
Lee Mack got steadings
do you remember that
Lee Mack gets a nine letter word
and no one believes him
because he's like
everyone's got a nine letter word
and they're like
oh yeah whatever
and he goes
I have steadings
and it is and everyone's like, everyone nan that's a word and they're like, oh yeah, whatever. And he goes, I have steadings and it is
and everyone's like,
what the fuck?
So he then goes,
wow,
that is the pinnacle for me.
If I go on there
and get a nan letter
I'll just kill myself.
Cool.
I know.
Good happiness.
Good chat.
Good chat.
Talking about killing yourself.
Finn.
Yeah?
What?
Your initiation has begun. You must killing yourself. Finn. Yeah? What? Your initiation has begun.
You must bleed yourself in front of us.
Commence.
Finn, have we got any celeb encounters?
We've got some celeb encounters.
People have been sending in their celeb encounters.
Yeah.
First, Neil, do you have any weird kind of celebrity encounters over the years?
Do you know Tim McGarryry host of a tv show in
northern ireland the blame game yeah yeah yeah so myself and mcgarry went to the champions league
final which one and we've been to so many you see in paris yeah and uh you're lost anytime yeah
that is a very good point i would refer you to the last time Everton were in a Champions League final, though.
We probably would have lost anyway, so it wouldn't have mattered.
Well, this is true.
We got tear gassed, though.
So they tear gassed the people in front of us, and it was coming towards us.
And the French cops, boom, and fired it into the crowd.
But they forgot that Tim McGarry was raised in North Belfast in the 70s
and essentially laughed in their face.
He was just like, mm-hmm.
And I'm like, this is horrendous.
And he's like, is that kind of, what, Sandalwood or something?
But the guy who was standing in front of us was,
like right in front of us when this happened,
was, you know, isn't him Fisher Stevens?
Do you know the guy
from Succession
and directed the,
was in Johnny Five?
Have a look.
You know, Short Circus?
Oh, yeah.
And is in Succession
as the PR guy
and directs David Beckham's.
Oh, my God.
He's the psychologist in Friends?
Yes.
There you go.
You just got it.
He was standing in front of us in a pork pie hat
and a half and half scarf as the tear gas moved towards her.
I've just lost all respect for him.
Half and half scarf.
Yeah.
Deserved it.
He was in Friends.
Oh, he's a cunt.
I knew the half and half scarf would do for you.
I knew it.
He's great in Friends.
Yeah, yeah.
What a great little cameo here.
Define me. Define me!
Define me!
Wasn't he in Antarctica or something?
Wasn't he some sort of research scientist in Friends?
No, he was a psychologist.
Oh, no, that's David.
He dated Phoebe.
That's David.
That's David.
Was that Paul Rudd?
That is Hank Azaria.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, very sorry.
But he sort of psychoanalysed the whole group.
Ah.
And they all ended up hating him
because they're like,
fucking pack it in.
Like, you can see it too much into our lives could you date a psychiatrist or
i don't reckon i could because i reckon as soon as you say something they go adam's therapist
already wants to fuck him so it's like one step away from a lovely woman who can see all my talents
wow you got that in a tea towel.
She sees me for who I am.
Can you imagine saying something?
They're like, ah, of course.
How long have you been seeing this particular one?
About a year on and off.
We've had a couple of breaks, you know.
Things don't always go well.
Oh, yeah, yes.
A therapist.
That's nice.
She loves him.
But we are assuming, I assume only getting his version of events oh absolutely okay this is adam's version of events every time it goes in by the
end of it she's like unbelievable you've changed everything for me do you know when you've got one
mate when anastag anastag do goes, I think that lap dancer likes me.
Is that?
No.
I'm not doing that.
I'm not trying to present
that this,
like this woman is
just a brilliant psychologist.
She said I could go pro
as a patient.
What?
She said I could go pro
as a patient.
We've made a breakthrough today, Adam,
that you are as clever
as you've always thought you were.
Yeah.
And now I think you're clever.
In fact, here's the money for this session.
Is it okay if I tell other people about you?
She's just very good at getting things out of me.
Yesterday was a very rough session.
You know, very tough.
Was it?
Yeah.
Tough mudder.
It was rough yesterday.
It was difficult.
I had a difficult night afterwards
and I've had a difficult day,
but I've held it together.
You've been brilliant today.
God, you're such a fucking trooper.
You mean you're suffering
and you still pulled out chicken eggs?
Gold.
That is...
He can, even when he's in the emotional depths,
still call me a cunt.
And that's so,
that is the strength of this podcast.
Yeah, it is.
People want consistency.
Yeah, they really do.
And as long as you keep being a cunt.
If you've bumped into a weird celebrity
or been tear gassed in front of someone famous,
have a word pod at gmail.com.
I thought you were going to say
there is a number that you can ring.
It's a very specific number.
This first one's from Carl.
I saw Momo Sissoko in the pizza place
on Smithdown Road, Liverpool,
a few hours after a game.
It was when we used to get the scores off Teletext
and I'd missed the game,
so I found out the score from him.
Next one, Josh.
Yeah, but is that...
If you were a professional athlete...
Stop saying it like that.
Professional athlete.
Try again.
Athlete.
A-T-H-lete.
Athlete.

that's what you do, isn't it?
I think that, isn't that what all athletes do?
Yeah, it's carbs.
Just smash what they're not allowed beforehand.
That makes sense, doesn't it?
They all have pizza and pasta before games.
Yeah.
That's the Arsene Wenger way, isn't it?
All the Liverpool, after the derby,
they're in nabsies.
We'll do one more and then we'll do some...
Go, go, lad!
It's like a wedding. What side are you on? Blue. We'll do one more and then we'll do some... Go, go, lad! It's like a wedding. What side are you on?
Blue. We'll do one more and then we'll do
some man play. This one's from Adam Starkey.
Celebrity encounter for the pod.
I bumped into Dan Nightingale in Albert
Schloss, Liverpool in December.
He was out with Ishan. I nipped for a piss.
I came back and my pint of
German lager had disappeared. You lying
little prick.
So on form.
Oh, here we fucking go.
Any more stories of this man's mind sweeping,
get them in to the Patreon or have a word pod at gmail.com.
I was in Albert Schloss in December, though.
We know you were.
There's fucking evidence here.
So you steal people's booze, do you?
Yeah, I do.
Yeah, I love it.
And I like snakes.
And I always go for picnics
with Ather Elite.
In the cinema.
In the cinema.
Dan is a mind sweeper.
He's bad for it.
And he just,
recently I brought it up.
I wasn't even having a go at him, Neil.
I was just saying, you know, you're like a little mind sweeper. And he got really angry for it. And he just, recently I brought it up. I wasn't even having a go at him, Neil. I was just saying, you know,
you like a little mind sweeper.
And he got really angry about it.
And since then, people keep writing in
with their own stories of when Dan has mind swept them.
Okay.
And this is just,
that's probably piece of evidence number one.
1922, something like that.
1922.
That's when I started.
I was already 40.
Stupid prick.
Is it the thrill of it?
Is it like...
Yeah, it is.
You know when Winona Ryder did all the shoplifting?
Is it that one?
I do it with Winona Ryder.
Do you?
If ever I'm out on the piss with...
She's mad for it as well.
I've heard that about her.
I'm on the piss with Winona.
Yeah.
And Anthony Waddle Thompson.
Wasn't he stealing cheese?
He was stealing cheese.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. We honestly... and Anthony Waddle Thompson wasn't he stealing cheese he was stealing cheese yeah yeah yeah
we honestly
he was leading the way there
what a weird little gang
yeah
I'm walking to Albert Stott
that night
and I'm like
what did Waddle Thompson
and Winona have had
it's like a mental start
to a joke
what
it sounds like a mental start
to a joke
did they get you into it
or did you get them into it?
We met online.
Yeah.
It's a support group
or something.
Minesweepers group.
He's just admitting it now.
Yeah, I love it.
There's nothing as good
as illicit suds, is there?
I love date raping myself.
That's the best.
When you accidentally drink
something that's been
fucking tampered with.
That night he goes to sleep.
It's what he wanted.
Right, we're going to do some man play.
I'm 100% setting up an email address
and email it to him.
When he was in Dublin.
Oh my God.
You will be one.
We've been looking for a new feature.
I think we've got it.
Shoot me in the cunting face.
So Neil, man play essentially is...
Chickens come home to roost.
Chicken chickens come home to roost. Chicken, chicken, chicken.
Come home to roost.
Nasty bitch.
Child, upset me, nasty bitch.
Chicken, chicken, come on.
What type of chicken?
Don't count all your chicken eggs at once, please.
So man play-
I don't count them, I'm just stealing them.
Yeah.
I'm just stealing. yeah I'm just stealing
was that your punnet
is it a punnet of eggs
can I go
strawberries
box
man play
is essentially
when
the things
men or women
do on their own
that is a bit weird
so an example
of this
is
running up the stairs
on all fours
people like me
people like me saying a cup of tea blind
to see if they could do it.
You must have little things you do as a man
when you're on your own,
when you're just entertaining yourself.
Foibles.
Yeah.
I can't think of any right now.
That's fine.
We've got some examples that people have written in.
I have a friend who steals alcohol.
I mean, I say friend loosely after this conversation.
I think of a mortal enemy that steals alcohol.
You could mess with Winona.
So this first one's from George.
Whenever I go clothes shopping with my girlfriend,
if she turns away for more than three seconds,
I'll scurry off behind clothes racks
and hide for as long as I can.
Yeah, hiding in shops is a good one.
When I'm throwing bottles out at a bottle bank,
I wait until there's nobody else there
and I put my arm in all the way up to the shoulder
and pretend I'm a vet.
That's the perfect...
That is Man Play, the epitome of it.
Old creatures, great and small.
That's such a good one.
This one's from Emily.
Woman Play. Woman play.
Woman play.
When the shower screen steams up,
I'll push my boobs up against it
to create two circles
and then draw smiley faces
and other patterns with the booby prints.
That's sexy.
It sounds like a boy has written in,
like a 12-year-old lad has written in
pretending to be a woman.
What I would do if I was a lady,
I would do booby paintings.
And when we're in the changing rooms,
we just lick each other's pom-poms.
And Coca-Cola comes out of my nipples.
This is from Jack.
Wag-wag lids.
A little man play I do is when I'm walking anywhere,
I'll walk like I'm in a Grand Prix,
trying to hit the apex of the turns.
A Grand Prix?
A Grand Prix?
Trying to hit the apex of the turns in the pavement
and basically trying to shave seconds off the walk
as much as possible.
I am a bastion of efficiency.
I do all sorts of stuff like this.
There's a lot of phrases that can be used to describe you.
A bastion of efficiency is none of those.
When it comes to admin, I am a bastion of efficiency.
Did your therapist tell you you were a bastion of efficiency?
Yes.
She calls me little bastion. She your therapist tell you you were basting she calls me little bastion
she calls me sebastian
right last one this is from katie when i walk my dog i empty a packet of starburst into my
pocket before i go then when i'm out i dig into my pocket and try and guess which color sweet
i'll pull out next in my head I pretend I'm on a game show.
And if I get the sweet colour right, I win £1,000.
Then I have to decide whether I want to stick or gamble.
So guess again on the next sweet and double my money or risk losing it all.
I think it's quite bad that she's only left it as low as £1,000.
Like, if you're having a fantasy world, then you've got to sort of, you know,
why has she made BBC One?
Like, go ITV where there's fucking corporate money, sponsorships. Every sweet's worth, you know, why has she made BBC One? Like, go ITV, where there's fucking corporate money,
sponsorships.
Every sweet twist,
you know,
two bill.
Also, why would you have a stick?
Two bill.
TV doing good.
Have you ever seen
any television show
where it's two billion quid
for a billion pound drop?
Well, maybe this is the one.
Cost of living for you.
The cost of living crisis,
like, was,
or like the sort of,
the lack of money in TV
is probably,
was never exemplified more
than when the million pound drop became the hundred
thousand pound drop. Did it? Yeah.
But it was still called the million pound drop? No.
No, it was called the hundred K drop. Oh shit.
Yeah. I didn't know that.
And no one ever won it anyway.
Yeah, it's hard, isn't it? Yeah.
Hard, that one. What's
this one? Million pound drop. Davina McCall. Oh lad, it's hard, isn't it? Yeah. Hard, that one. What's this one? Million Pound.
Channel 4.
Davina McCall.
Oh, lad, it was great.
I went to watch it being filmed.
It was like gambling.
Of course you did.
Lou Connery was the warm-up.
You went to watch?
100K Drop.
Yeah, it was in Media City.
That was all I could do with my time when I was a skid student.
You know Finn's a big quiz show fan?
Quiz show and comedy.
So is Neil, though.
Neil, you're a big quiz show fan, aren't you?
Yeah, yeah.
And you've been on The Chase and stuff.
Been on The Chase, been on Mastermind.
What did you get on your cash builder?
Nine.
Wow. You're also humbling yourself because you won
Celebrity Mastermind.
I did Celebrity Mastermind and they rang
me and said, what do you want to do?
And I really wanted to do it.
And I went, I'd like to do
a special subject
the life of
Reg Hu O'Donnell
the Gaelic chieftain
between 15 something
and they went
who?
you can't do that
and I was so desperate
to be honest
I went
the Vikings
all of them
forever
and they went
yeah
and I hung up the phone
like a fucking idiot
that's four continents
300 years
or something like this
and then I went up
hang on
you got an interest
in Viking
you don't just
you didn't just
I did a documentary
in the months
and I kind of thought
yeah it was interesting
and then I did it
and I was up against
the winner of The Apprentice
who did
The Wolf of Wall Street
the film
what?
the film
you watched it for
two and a half hours
and that's
so you just re-watch it
re-watch it
re-watch it
you're an expert
and you're doing
300 years of Viking history.
Because I'm an idiot.
And did you beat her?
Yes.
She's the idiot, mate.
Get the stuff.
I'm into my Vikings a bit.
That's amazing.
I love it.
Did you ever see the one that's filmed in Wicklow?
It's brilliant.
So there's one called The Vikings and Vikings Valhalla.
Yeah.
If you live in Dublin, it's brilliant
because all the main characters,
like, you know,
they all make an effort
with their,
the accents,
oh, I will,
I will,
like,
they'll say it to the,
but all the messengers
and all the bit parts
are people from Dublin
and they haven't tried
with the accents at all.
So the main people
will go,
you messenger,
go into the town
and tell the Earl
I will fight him
in single combat
and then the lads are like
oh yeah I'll pop in
they want that
and Tesco will him in
they're all like
if you know the action
it's really fucking bizarre
I love it
if I watch all that stuff
what's the comedy one
on Netflix
it's fucking brilliant
there's like a piss take one
is that the one
that's done in two languages
they did it in English
and they also did it in Norwegian there was two oh really i think so yeah oh it's so awesome oh
it's fucking great i didn't know you were into the vikings yeah i do like a bit of vikings i think
uh people who love bevies and stealing interesting oh yeah you know it's pillaging
thanks for holding back on the other one yeah you, you're always pillaging. You know, you're not too bad.
You don't do the first.
2024, Dan.
Put your longship away, lad.
Because I'm descended from Vikings.
Almost definitely.
Like Anglo-Saxon, pale skin, blue eyes.
My whole family's near a river.
They'd have sailed up there.
Is Newton the profile?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. My whole family lives near the river. They'd have sailed up there. Is this a new tender profile? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My whole family lives near the river.
Wow, what a catch.
They'd have done R&P back in the day.
What a catch.
Blue eyes, near the river.
Whoa, whoa.
My ancestors got their head bummed in.
That's what I'm saying.
I reckon.
What Viking, you know,
what have you kept from the Vikings then?
What?
Yeah.
Well, this is the bit I did on stage,
and I probably wasn't first wave Viking.
I was more like third wave accounts and stock checking. i'm descending from the viking who's like have you
signed for that shield i've got a job to do with a big lad like i understand that at five foot eight
i'll probably yeah but i still think i've got a bit of viking heritage i like it I like the idea of it. And that's the end of the podcast.
I like Viking.
Everyone just absolutely goes,
lads, what the fuck are you on about?
Neil, it's been an absolute fucking pleasure having you on, my friend.
Absolute pleasure to be here as well, gents.
And go and see Neil.
He's, as Adam said, a behemoth,
a fucking brilliant comic
who does naught but smash.
Go and see him on tour.
And yeah.
When's the art special out?
Because it's going to be...
The art special is out on the...
The 12th.
It's out on the 12th of April
at patreon.com slash haveawarepod.
We are about to hit 26,000 patrons
and every month we put out a special.
Some of the best work we've done.
Every week it's the patron exclusive.
We told you about that.
We've been on a great run of form.
But I think this art special is one that, weirdly,
I think it's going to go down as a bit legendary.
It was...
One of the best things we've ever done.
Yeah.
So that comes out the 12th.
And remember, if you're a £10 patron on the 22nd of April,
you will get two brand-new posters,
one of which is signed, one of which isn't.
I'll sign everything.
One of them will be signed by me.
No, you won't. You're not allowed.
Some of them will be signed.
Neil, it's been a pleasure.
We've got a song.
Oh, here we go.
So this one actually took some detective work
because I got an email from Dan after the art special.
Oh, I met the guy from Casino.
Yeah, but you didn't say that, did you?
It said no subject and it said, play one of these tracks.
That was the email.
You love these.
Yeah, I've been mind sweeping all night.
I was pretty drunk.
In all seriousness, I had bought a wallet.
I had to do some detective work and figure out who it was.
And it's Casino
who are great
I've seen them live
and this is their tune
Fever
this is Casino
on it's called
Fever
they are dangerous I feel a demon
Feeling brave
I'm getting twisted in a funky way
Now watch me weaving
Through the crowd
Faces melting into happy pounds
I feel a fever
I feel a fever
Pumping through my veins
Running through my brain
Yeah
The promised land but unholy sights
Shooting pains are just the pulse of life
I call to worship on higher planes
Sweat dripping down like acid rain
I feel a fever
I feel a fever.
I feel a fever.
Whomping through my brain.
Running through my brain.
The place, of course, is livable.
In my mind, the strangest of all cities of the North.
Not the nicest.
The nice is hardly a word one can apply to a book,
but it's hard drinking, hard living, hard fighting,
violent, friendly, and fiercely alive. Fever coming up in the morning.
Fever coming down every day.
Feel my temperature is rising.
I don't have to say
I feel a fever
A fever
I feel a fever
I feel a fever
I feel a fever
I feel a fever
I feel a fever
I feel a fever
I feel a fever
I feel a fever
I feel a fever
I feel a fever I feel a fever I'm running to my brain. I'm running to my brain.
I'm running to my brain.
I'm running to my brain. Thank you. Bye.
