Starting point is 00:02:52 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?
Starting point is 00:03:07 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.
Starting point is 00:03:16 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
Starting point is 00:03:27 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
Starting point is 00:03:40 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

Starting point is 00:09:54 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?
Starting point is 00:10:11 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.
Starting point is 00:10:20 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.
Starting point is 00:10:29 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
Starting point is 00:10:40 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
Starting point is 00:10:56 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.
Starting point is 00:11:16 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?
Starting point is 00:11:25 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.
Starting point is 00:11:38 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.
Starting point is 00:11:47 I like the taste of alcohol. Smell or taste? He was in Ground 4. Either. Oof. Or either. Or either. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:57 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
Starting point is 00:12:12 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
Starting point is 00:12:18 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
Starting point is 00:12:23 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
Starting point is 00:12:28 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
Starting point is 00:12:33 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
Starting point is 00:12:41 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
Starting point is 00:12:49 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
Starting point is 00:13:05 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
Starting point is 00:13:11 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
Starting point is 00:13:19 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.
Starting point is 00:13:28 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.
Starting point is 00:13:48 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?
Starting point is 00:14:04 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
Starting point is 00:14:22 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
Starting point is 00:14:31 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.
Starting point is 00:14:42 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
Starting point is 00:14:51 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.
Starting point is 00:14:58 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
Starting point is 00:15:25 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
Starting point is 00:15:42 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.
Starting point is 00:15:58 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.
Starting point is 00:16:16 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.
Starting point is 00:16:29 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.
Starting point is 00:16:36 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.
Starting point is 00:16:43 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,
Starting point is 00:17:02 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.
Starting point is 00:17:18 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
Starting point is 00:17:50 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,
Starting point is 00:18:13 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.
Starting point is 00:18:24 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.
Starting point is 00:18:36 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?
Starting point is 00:18:50 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
Starting point is 00:19:01 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.
Starting point is 00:19:12 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?
Starting point is 00:19:26 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.
Starting point is 00:19:40 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,
Starting point is 00:19:50 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.
Starting point is 00:20:02 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.
Starting point is 00:20:14 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.
Starting point is 00:20:24 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.
Starting point is 00:20:44 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
Starting point is 00:21:00 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?
Starting point is 00:21:19 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,
Starting point is 00:21:35 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.
Starting point is 00:21:47 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.
Starting point is 00:21:55 And my name's Tom. Instead we've got Welsh Finn. Yeah. Totally different. One of them, Mank Finn. Mank? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:02 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?
Starting point is 00:22:10 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
Starting point is 00:22:31 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.
Starting point is 00:23:07 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.
Starting point is 00:23:24 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.
Starting point is 00:23:44 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
Starting point is 00:23:59 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.
Starting point is 00:24:07 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.
Starting point is 00:24:21 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
Starting point is 00:24:42 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
Starting point is 00:25:23 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.
Starting point is 00:25:50 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.
Starting point is 00:26:03 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
Starting point is 00:26:13 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?
Starting point is 00:26:30 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.
Starting point is 00:26:40 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.
Starting point is 00:26:56 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
Starting point is 00:27:10 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
Starting point is 00:27:18 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
Starting point is 00:27:26 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
Starting point is 00:27:32 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
Starting point is 00:27:40 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
Starting point is 00:28:02 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?
Starting point is 00:28:30 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,
Starting point is 00:28:41 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.
Starting point is 00:28:52 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.
Starting point is 00:29:05 100%. 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.
Starting point is 00:29:27 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
Starting point is 00:29:38 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
Starting point is 00:29:52 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?
Starting point is 00:30:10 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
Starting point is 00:30:36 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,
Starting point is 00:30:52 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.
Starting point is 00:31:04 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.
Starting point is 00:31:14 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.

Starting point is 00:31:55 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.
Starting point is 00:32:04 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

Starting point is 00:34:51 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
Starting point is 00:35:04 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.
Starting point is 00:35:46 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.
Starting point is 00:35:58 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.
Starting point is 00:36:15 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
Starting point is 00:36:39 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.
Starting point is 00:37:11 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
Starting point is 00:37:25 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
Starting point is 00:37:35 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
Starting point is 00:37:42 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.
Starting point is 00:37:49 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.
Starting point is 00:38:00 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?
Starting point is 00:38:11 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?
Starting point is 00:38:21 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
Starting point is 00:38:30 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
Starting point is 00:38:40 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
Starting point is 00:38:46 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
Starting point is 00:38:54 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
Starting point is 00:39:01 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
Starting point is 00:39:13 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
Starting point is 00:39:25 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.
Starting point is 00:40:07 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.
Starting point is 00:40:20 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
Starting point is 00:41:04 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.
Starting point is 00:41:17 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?
Starting point is 00:41:30 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.
Starting point is 00:41:40 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:42:36 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?

Starting point is 00:43:10 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.
Starting point is 00:43:20 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?
Starting point is 00:43:33 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.
Starting point is 00:43:45 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
Starting point is 00:43:53 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
Starting point is 00:44:03 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.
Starting point is 00:44:19 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.
Starting point is 00:44:28 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.
Starting point is 00:44:39 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?
Starting point is 00:44:54 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.
Starting point is 00:45:12 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?
Starting point is 00:45:26 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.
Starting point is 00:45:45 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.
Starting point is 00:46:00 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.
Starting point is 00:46:10 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,
Starting point is 00:46:33 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?
Starting point is 00:46:49 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.
Starting point is 00:46:58 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.
Starting point is 00:47:26 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.

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,

Starting point is 00:48:40 It's true. It's true. Thank you. Into the same acting skill as Ross. Yeah. It's true? It's true. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:48:44 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?
Starting point is 00:49:02 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.
Starting point is 00:49:20 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
Starting point is 00:49:46 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.
Starting point is 00:49:57 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.
Starting point is 00:50:15 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
Starting point is 00:50:44 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...
Starting point is 00:51:01 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,
Starting point is 00:51:11 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
Starting point is 00:51:22 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,
Starting point is 00:51:27 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.

Starting point is 00:51:53 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,
Starting point is 00:52:02 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.

Starting point is 00:59:48 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
Starting point is 00:59:59 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.
Starting point is 01:00:07 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.
Starting point is 01:00:26 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.
Starting point is 01:00:41 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.
Starting point is 01:00:49 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.
Starting point is 01:01:11 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,
Starting point is 01:01:25 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.
Starting point is 01:01:41 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
Starting point is 01:01:52 huff and puff when he was angry were they all his nicknames yeah yeah was Wikipedia love them all you're on the mirror

Starting point is 01:02:08 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.
Starting point is 01:02:20 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.
Starting point is 01:02:35 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,

Starting point is 01:04:36 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?
Starting point is 01:04:49 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
Starting point is 01:04:56 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.
Starting point is 01:05:06 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...
Starting point is 01:05:21 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
Starting point is 01:05:29 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
Starting point is 01:05:37 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
Starting point is 01:05:48 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
Starting point is 01:05:56 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
Starting point is 01:06:02 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.
Starting point is 01:06:14 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
Starting point is 01:06:25 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
Starting point is 01:06:55 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.
Starting point is 01:07:14 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
Starting point is 01:07:27 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
Starting point is 01:07:34 yeah so yeah half a year ago and yeah oh good and everyone's gone and it's and it was back to being
Starting point is 01:07:44 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
Starting point is 01:08:08 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
Starting point is 01:08:16 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
Starting point is 01:08:24 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
Starting point is 01:08:34 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.
Starting point is 01:08:46 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
Starting point is 01:09:08 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.
Starting point is 01:09:36 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.
Starting point is 01:09:54 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?
Starting point is 01:10:04 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
Starting point is 01:10:22 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.
Starting point is 01:10:42 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
Starting point is 01:10:51 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
Starting point is 01:10:57 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
Starting point is 01:11:13 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.
Starting point is 01:11:50 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
Starting point is 01:12:12 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
Starting point is 01:12:25 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
Starting point is 01:12:32 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
Starting point is 01:12:44 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?
Starting point is 01:12:54 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.
Starting point is 01:13:08 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,
Starting point is 01:13:23 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
Starting point is 01:13:49 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
Starting point is 01:13:56 yeah I mean your fandom isn't massively committed is it yeah who's your favourite the third one he only does Kelly Rowland
Starting point is 01:14:04 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.
Starting point is 01:14:20 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.
Starting point is 01:14:39 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?
Starting point is 01:14:52 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...
Starting point is 01:15:03 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.
Starting point is 01:15:08 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
Starting point is 01:15:14 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
Starting point is 01:15:21 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.
Starting point is 01:15:32 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.
Starting point is 01:15:42 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
Starting point is 01:15:46 either. It was Justin Morehouse. Justin Morehouse, you, Danny
Starting point is 01:15:49 Mack, me and Alfie Brown. Oh yeah yeah yeah. And the Heath. Everybody did
Starting point is 01:15:55 lose their run on themselves with that. Yeah. I saw Kai, there was
Starting point is 01:15:59 a fella in Dublin and he was in he was with the masks
Starting point is 01:16:03 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
Starting point is 01:16:08 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,
Starting point is 01:16:19 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
Starting point is 01:16:28 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
Starting point is 01:16:40 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.
Starting point is 01:16:53 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.
Starting point is 01:17:04 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
Starting point is 01:17:14 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
Starting point is 01:17:22 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
Starting point is 01:17:30 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
Starting point is 01:17:37 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.
Starting point is 01:17:44 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
Starting point is 01:17:55 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
Starting point is 01:18:02 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.
Starting point is 01:18:17 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.
Starting point is 01:18:32 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
Starting point is 01:18:49 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?
Starting point is 01:19:13 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,
Starting point is 01:19:25 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
Starting point is 01:19:35 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
Starting point is 01:19:43 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
Starting point is 01:19:50 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,
Starting point is 01:20:01 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
Starting point is 01:20:07 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
Starting point is 01:20:16 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
Starting point is 01:20:23 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.
Starting point is 01:20:55 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
Starting point is 01:21:06 former cellmate and right fuck me yeah and Willie then goes look at you blah blah blah
Starting point is 01:21:14 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
Starting point is 01:21:20 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
Starting point is 01:21:31 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
Starting point is 01:21:41 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
Starting point is 01:22:07 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
Starting point is 01:22:14 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
Starting point is 01:22:21 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.
Starting point is 01:22:44 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,
Starting point is 01:22:53 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
Starting point is 01:23:02 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
Starting point is 01:23:10 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
Starting point is 01:23:20 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.
Starting point is 01:23:32 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?
Starting point is 01:23:46 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?
Starting point is 01:23:59 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.
Starting point is 01:24:09 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,
Starting point is 01:24:19 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
Starting point is 01:24:25 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
Starting point is 01:24:33 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
Starting point is 01:24:42 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?
Starting point is 01:24:52 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
Starting point is 01:25:05 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.
Starting point is 01:25:21 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
Starting point is 01:25:30 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
Starting point is 01:25:36 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
Starting point is 01:25:45 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.
Starting point is 01:26:17 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
Starting point is 01:26:29 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
Starting point is 01:26:38 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.
Starting point is 01:26:48 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
Starting point is 01:27:05 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

Starting point is 01:27:39 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.
Starting point is 01:27:47 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.
Starting point is 01:27:56 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,
Starting point is 01:28:04 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
Starting point is 01:28:11 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
Starting point is 01:28:18 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?
Starting point is 01:28:26 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.
Starting point is 01:28:34 Cat Dealey. Yeah. Yeah. A bunch of pricks. Stop being so catty. Cat S, with the full S, is that horrendous
Starting point is 01:28:47 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.
Starting point is 01:28:58 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?
Starting point is 01:29:07 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.
Starting point is 01:29:17 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.
Starting point is 01:29:35 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.
Starting point is 01:29:43 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?
Starting point is 01:29:52 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
Starting point is 01:30:06 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.
Starting point is 01:30:23 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?
Starting point is 01:30:37 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?
Starting point is 01:30:50 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.
Starting point is 01:31:04 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,
Starting point is 01:31:15 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?
Starting point is 01:31:30 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,
Starting point is 01:31:45 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.
Starting point is 01:31:58 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
Starting point is 01:32:10 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.
Starting point is 01:32:28 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
Starting point is 01:32:36 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?
Starting point is 01:32:44 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?
Starting point is 01:32:55 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.
Starting point is 01:33:06 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.
Starting point is 01:33:19 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.
Starting point is 01:33:33 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.
Starting point is 01:33:46 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...
Starting point is 01:33:58 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,
Starting point is 01:34:09 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?
Starting point is 01:34:23 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
Starting point is 01:34:37 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.
Starting point is 01:34:49 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.
Starting point is 01:34:57 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,
Starting point is 01:35:07 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.
Starting point is 01:35:14 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
Starting point is 01:35:24 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
Starting point is 01:35:33 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
Starting point is 01:35:44 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.
Starting point is 01:35:56 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?
Starting point is 01:36:10 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.
Starting point is 01:36:24 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.
Starting point is 01:36:36 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.
Starting point is 01:36:46 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.
Starting point is 01:36:55 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
Starting point is 01:37:01 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.
Starting point is 01:37:10 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,
Starting point is 01:37:21 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,
Starting point is 01:37:29 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
Starting point is 01:37:35 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,
Starting point is 01:37:42 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.
Starting point is 01:37:52 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.
Starting point is 01:38:04 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...
Starting point is 01:38:13 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?
Starting point is 01:38:20 Ashworth, yeah. Yeah. Berkshire, Manchester. Yeah. That was the prisons I think if we're going to do it I think if we're
Starting point is 01:38:27 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
Starting point is 01:38:33 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
Starting point is 01:38:40 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.
Starting point is 01:38:49 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
Starting point is 01:38:59 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
Starting point is 01:39:07 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
Starting point is 01:39:28 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
Starting point is 01:40:05 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.
Starting point is 01:40:13 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.
Starting point is 01:40:21 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
Starting point is 01:40:45 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
Starting point is 01:40:52 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
Starting point is 01:40:59 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
Starting point is 01:41:08 didn't they Georgie Markov Bulgarian was killed on Waterloo Bridge by a poisoned umbrella fuck off
Starting point is 01:41:17 yeah Mary Poppins you fucking hack Mary Poppins did 25 years for us they just went with her or Rihanna were the
Starting point is 01:41:24 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%.
Starting point is 01:41:40 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
Starting point is 01:41:52 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
Starting point is 01:42:01 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
Starting point is 01:42:39 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
Starting point is 01:42:51 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
Starting point is 01:42:59 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.
Starting point is 01:43:06 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.
Starting point is 01:43:14 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.
Starting point is 01:43:21 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.
Starting point is 01:43:29 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.
Starting point is 01:43:42 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
Starting point is 01:43:54 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
Starting point is 01:44:01 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,
Starting point is 01:44:10 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.
Starting point is 01:44:19 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
Starting point is 01:44:25 and I went yeah this sort of stuff happens with them he has this connection to an audience that's kind of extraordinary yeah
Starting point is 01:44:30 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
Starting point is 01:44:38 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.
Starting point is 01:44:47 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.
Starting point is 01:45:03 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.
Starting point is 01:45:16 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
Starting point is 01:45:39 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.
Starting point is 01:45:54 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
Starting point is 01:46:08 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
Starting point is 01:46:30 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
Starting point is 01:46:36 so I said have you ever pulled anything out of anybody's arse and he went aww not at work like this
Starting point is 01:46:43 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,
Starting point is 01:46:59 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?
Starting point is 01:47:30 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
Starting point is 01:47:45 hoed off the worst thing is you can the worst thing you can do on that is do okay so you do okay
Starting point is 01:47:51 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
Starting point is 01:47:58 and Des Fisher rang me Des is properly intense he goes man you need to canvas I said what do you
Starting point is 01:48:04 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?
Starting point is 01:48:11 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,
Starting point is 01:48:19 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
Starting point is 01:48:29 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
Starting point is 01:48:37 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.
Starting point is 01:48:54 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.
Starting point is 01:49:13 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...

Starting point is 01:50:07 faked tan to be the waist and then the rest of you is pale Celtic so you look like 20 Benton and Hedges basically
Starting point is 01:50:15 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
Starting point is 01:50:26 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,
Starting point is 01:50:41 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,
Starting point is 01:50:52 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
Starting point is 01:51:08 scared than anything you still dancing no everybody always asks you that you gonna continue no fuck off I did it for money
Starting point is 01:51:15 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
Starting point is 01:51:24 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.
Starting point is 01:51:36 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.

Starting point is 01:51:54 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?
Starting point is 01:52:03 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
Starting point is 01:52:13 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.
Starting point is 01:52:22 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.
Starting point is 01:52:36 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.
Starting point is 01:52:48 But no. Jürgen. Jürgen Klopp. Klopp. Jürgen Klopp. Fuck my life. Chicken eggs, Benedict, please, love.
Starting point is 01:52:57 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
Starting point is 01:53:13 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?
Starting point is 01:53:26 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?
Starting point is 01:53:34 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,
Starting point is 01:53:46 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?
Starting point is 01:54:00 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.
Starting point is 01:54:11 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,
Starting point is 01:54:22 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.
Starting point is 01:54:35 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.
Starting point is 01:54:52 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
Starting point is 01:55:07 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.
Starting point is 01:55:29 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.
Starting point is 01:55:44 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.
Starting point is 01:56:00 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.
Starting point is 01:56:10 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.
Starting point is 01:56:22 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.
Starting point is 01:56:39 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.
Starting point is 01:56:58 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
Starting point is 01:57:15 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.
Starting point is 01:57:29 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.
Starting point is 01:57:40 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?
Starting point is 01:57:59 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,
Starting point is 01:58:18 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
Starting point is 01:58:44 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
Starting point is 01:58:52 hungry Adam hungry Adam calling someone a stupid cunt on ITV would be phenomenal just Michaela Strachan just really upset
Starting point is 01:59:01 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...
Starting point is 01:59:29 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?
Starting point is 01:59:40 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
Starting point is 01:59:56 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,
Starting point is 02:00:09 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?
Starting point is 02:00:16 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.
Starting point is 02:00:22 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
Starting point is 02:00:38 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...

Starting point is 02:01:38 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?
Starting point is 02:01:54 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
Starting point is 02:02:10 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?
Starting point is 02:02:21 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.

Starting point is 02:04:40 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
Starting point is 02:04:47 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
Starting point is 02:04:55 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
Starting point is 02:05:05 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
Starting point is 02:05:13 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
Starting point is 02:05:21 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.
Starting point is 02:05:29 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.
Starting point is 02:05:38 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?
Starting point is 02:05:47 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.
Starting point is 02:06:09 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.
Starting point is 02:06:23 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.
Starting point is 02:06:36 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,
Starting point is 02:06:50 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?
Starting point is 02:07:04 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
Starting point is 02:07:21 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
Starting point is 02:07:30 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
Starting point is 02:07:41 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?
Starting point is 02:07:48 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.
Starting point is 02:07:57 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.
Starting point is 02:08:08 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
Starting point is 02:08:28 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.
Starting point is 02:09:00 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?
Starting point is 02:09:23 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
Starting point is 02:09:35 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
Starting point is 02:09:46 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.
Starting point is 02:09:58 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?
Starting point is 02:10:11 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.
Starting point is 02:10:18 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
Starting point is 02:10:33 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.
Starting point is 02:10:58 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.
Starting point is 02:11:26 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
Starting point is 02:11:34 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.
Starting point is 02:11:42 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.
Starting point is 02:11:55 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.
Starting point is 02:12:05 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.

But pizza after a football match, that's what you do, isn't it? I think that, isn't that what all athletes do? Yeah, it's carbs.
Starting point is 02:14:10 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...
Starting point is 02:14:23 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.
Starting point is 02:14:40 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.
Starting point is 02:15:01 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.
Starting point is 02:15:16 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,
Starting point is 02:15:25 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.
Starting point is 02:15:40 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?
Starting point is 02:15:53 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.
Starting point is 02:16:00 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
Starting point is 02:16:10 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
Starting point is 02:16:20 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.
Starting point is 02:16:29 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.
Starting point is 02:16:38 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
Starting point is 02:16:50 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...
Starting point is 02:17:03 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.
Starting point is 02:17:21 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
Starting point is 02:17:30 box man play is essentially when the things men or women do on their own that is a bit weird
Starting point is 02:17:39 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.
Starting point is 02:17:49 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.
Starting point is 02:18:00 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
Starting point is 02:18:21 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.
Starting point is 02:18:39 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
Starting point is 02:18:50 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.
Starting point is 02:19:02 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.
Starting point is 02:19:18 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.
Starting point is 02:19:35 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
Starting point is 02:20:02 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,
Starting point is 02:20:25 sponsorships. Every sweet twist, you know, two bill. Also, why would you have a stick? Two bill. TV doing good. Have you ever seen
Starting point is 02:20:32 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,
Starting point is 02:20:43 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.
Starting point is 02:20:58 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.
Starting point is 02:21:09 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?
Starting point is 02:21:20 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.
Starting point is 02:21:32 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
Starting point is 02:21:45 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
Starting point is 02:21:52 I went the Vikings all of them forever and they went yeah and I hung up the phone like a fucking idiot

Starting point is 02:22:20 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?
Starting point is 02:22:27 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.
Starting point is 02:22:40 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,
Starting point is 02:22:50 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
Starting point is 02:22:58 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
Starting point is 02:23:06 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

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.
Starting point is 02:23:54 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.
Starting point is 02:24:08 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,
Starting point is 02:24:18 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.
Starting point is 02:24:47 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
Starting point is 02:25:02 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
Starting point is 02:25:16 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,
Starting point is 02:25:35 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.
Starting point is 02:25:51 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
Starting point is 02:26:05 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.
Starting point is 02:26:21 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
Starting point is 02:26:29 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
Starting point is 02:27:05 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
Starting point is 02:27:38 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.
Starting point is 02:28:03 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
Starting point is 02:28:28 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
Starting point is 02:28:41 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.
