What's happening lads, before we kick off this week's public episode, it's time to tell you about our Patreon page, patreon.com slash have a word pod.
It is the biggest Patreon in the UK and for good reason because you get so much stuff, starting from just £3 a month going all the way up to a tenner.
And if you go to the £10 tier, you get two free posters sent to you when you sign up. The £3, though, from the baseline Patreon membership, you get all the extra content,
which includes early access
to the video version
of these public episodes.
And you get an extra bonus episode
every single week.
And on top of that,
we give you a Patreon special
every month.
And as soon as you sign up,
you get access
to the entire back catalogue
of all the episodes
and all those specials,
which includes...
We've got the lock-ins.
We've been to Nashville. We've been to Amsterdam.
We've done ghost hunts.
We've done a car track special.
Oh, it's been amazing. We've got 40 of these things.
The back catalogue is unreal.
You sign up from £3 a month
and you get hours and hours, hundreds
of hours of content. We've got a really
big Patreon special coming up at the end of the year.
We're going to India to raise money for Zoe's Place
Baby Hospice,
who do some absolutely
incredible work
for really sick children
and their families,
making it as comfortable
as they can possibly be
when they're going through
the most unimaginable pain.
Zoe's Place,
an unbelievable charity
I've supported
since I was at school,
so has Carl,
and now the podcast
is helping to raise money
by going to India
and cycling 450 kilometers.
Now, we're all doing separate fundraising for this,
but what we've done is we've put Finn's donation link
in the bio of this episode.
Go and donate to Finn's page for us
if you would like to get involved.
Appreciate it.
And on top of that, all of our links
in our social media bios,
but go and give Finn some of your money
if you're looking to donate to someone today
and look forward to the end of the year
and the start of next year
when all the content from the biggest thing we've ever done
will be going out.
And before that, we've got some banging specials coming up.
You do not want to not be a patron over the next few months.
Sign up. Enjoy the episode.
Patreon.com slash have a word pod.

Wag wag leads,

This is the one and only Have A Word.
Brought to you by Manscaped,

for below the waist groomers.
Go, Ed.
Get on me.
Way!
Hello.
Oh, you had your little beard trim this morning?
Little beard trim.
I've also discovered a life hack that I think everyone will benefit from.
I'm all ears.
Is it getting out of bed early?
Getting out of bed before you have to get up.
I was like, no, that was going to be it.
That's the third
time you've said that in four years fucking mad you know yeah it's so much better now is this
attached to any sort of 5am meditating or pilates at seven or no this is just waking up 10 minutes
before your alarm coming out i'm telling you like about my new routine mate i'm not coming up right okay i told you about the time
our jack saw uh pilates classes advertised on the wall of a lifestyles legislature and he was like
no way you can learn to fly here because he thought it was pilot's class
it's a lot of women in spandex. Yeah, good. Women can fly now.
Have you seen the Pilates machines?
It's all like, yeah, how hard it is.
It's a roll machine.
No, it's all like a mad machine that you go on.
I've seen like, they've done like,
oh, we've got rugby players to do a Pilates class.
And they're like, fucking hell, mate, this is killing.
Ozzy Wands.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was my attempt. It looks hard. Well done, yeah. That was my attempt.
It looks hard.
Well done, women.
It looks super complicated.
What is it?
Basically just pushing away from things and just wafting your leg in the air.
I've never done it.
It's just yoga.
I'm not a very flexible man,
but I would like to get there.
When you're shredded.
It just looks like extra yoga, doesn't it?
Like yoga plus.
Well, it looks like pushing away from something
and then being like
wow look at my
fucking leg
we're doing a pissing dog
get out of me
just do that for four hours
pissing dog is a move
and just rugby players are
I fucking can't
fucking right
I fucking can't
damn it
alright we'll go and do
the Pilates special then
what do you reckon
don't know how we got there
but sure
let's go and do it
let's fly a plane what time did you get out of bed I don't know how we got there, but sure. Let's go and do it. Let's fly a plane.
What time did you get out of bed?
Half seven.
What time would you usually get out of bed?
What time were we in today?
Half ten.
Like quarter ten.
How did you eat?
Naturally, you didn't piss?
I had an alarm on and it went off and I was like,
oh, but I'm just getting up a lot easier
now that I'm not eating carbs.
More energy, sleeping easier and waking up easier. It's mad.
Do you not just want some bread
on that meat, bro? I'd fucking love some
bread. I'm going to have some on Wednesday. What's your breakfast?
What? What's your breakfast
looking like on this diet?
Well, I haven't had any breakfast this morning, but
I've been having three eggs and
five pieces of bacon.
It's about 500 calories.
You're on the herbivore diet.
He's on the carnivore.
Yeah, we're on the opposite diet.
Yeah.
The complete opposite.
Have you not been hypnotised yet?
No.
I'm waiting for Harry's mum.
We're all waiting for Harry's mum.
Sounds like a Channel 5 documentary.
Waiting for God, isn't it?
Better.
Yeah. And I'll tell you what I bought
which is one of my favourite things I've ever bought
is I bought a coffee machine for the house
but like a drip one
not like an espresso one
so you just make a big jug of coffee
smell of fresh coffee in the morning
is it a real kick
Adam's a new woman
is it like one of those ones that you get in films
where they're like
I'll have another
cup of coffee
and she comes over
and she's like
I'll top you up
yeah
she's Australian rugby
I'll top you up
I can't do
fucking Pilates
and you can set
a timer on it
and put the coffee
in the water
in the night before
and say like
I'm going to be up
at 8 o'clock
and it gets it ready for 8 o'clock.
Oh, that's lovely.
It was 40 quid.
Oh, that's nice.
And then you, Jack?
Just me, really.
Lidl? Was it from Lidl?
It was from amazonprime.com.
Woo!
.com?
Not an ad.
Thanks for that.
Not an ad.
Not even.co.uk.
Straight from America.
It's class.
Getting up.
Sorting stuff out.
You know?
Weighing myself every morning.
Oh, you've got to be, you know, every day?
Yeah.
Religiously?
I didn't yesterday, actually, but every other day, yeah.
When we came back from holiday, Laura was like,
I know I've let myself, you know, I've eaten what I want,
so I'm not going to weigh myself.
That's what they say on all the dieting, like, Instagram pages. like i know i've let myself you know i've eaten what i want so i'm not gonna weigh myself that's
what they say on all the dieting like instagram pages don't just get back and weigh yourself why
you're gonna do that to yourself i was like it seems smart just have a few days of being healthier
and then weigh yourself just like i'm just not doing it four hours later on the fucking scales
that's the classic in it yeah yeah fucking what's half stone seven pounds yeah oh easy yeah
yeah yeah i put 10 pounds on in nashville and i've lost all of it it's all of the unit that's
four wait till you're doing pilates bro i'm going to tenerife next week and i am gonna have a few
beers and uh like i put all spritz in that while i'm away. But I'm going to try and keep
for at least two meals a day
to meet carnivore diet.
Yeah, do it.
And then when I come back,
get back on it properly.
I do want to be fucking hinge
by the time we go India.
Are you going to be Aussie as well?
What?
I'm going to be hinge.
It was hinge.
It was just me.
I think after India,
we're all going to be
in the best shape of our lives.
I really want to be there
before we go.
No, but you're going to lose loads of muscle muscle. You're going to lose loads of weight and just be a little bit. Because it all going to be in the best shape of our lives. I really want to be there before we go. No, but you're going to lose loads of muscle mass.
You're going to lose loads of weight and just be a little bit here.
Because it's going to be hot.
We're not going to be eating properly.
We're going to be exercising.
We're not going to be eating properly.
What?
Because it's India.
So?
No, we're going to be eating properly.
Street food where people wash their hands into the meal.
I've seen all the vids.
Thanks for sending me them.
Really appreciate it.
Oh, Dan's going to India.
You know what we'll do?
We'll get his anxiety going.
He seems quite laid back all the time,
but let's send him a fucking video with an Indian A-road
where 19 people just get careered into by a fucking truck.
And then the washing of the hands into the street food.
Street food can fuck off.
I'm eating kitchen food exclusively.
Which is what I do in life. I'm not going to change anything. That's what I do. I eat kitchen food exclusively. Which is what I do in life.
I'm not going to change anything.
That's what I do.
I eat kitchen food.
Nearly fucking exclusively kitchen food.
And I'm not going to change that when we get to India.
Oh, you want to watch out for the street food?
I don't want, because you've put me off.
Why are you doing magic tricks?
They wash their hands.
I've seen the videos,
and this might be a very small percentage
of Indian street food sellers.
I reckon it probably is.
I reckon it's probably one guy, yeah.
Well, all right, cool.
Well, this one guy has got six different clips on Instagram.
Just one clip of it?
Stop.
Oh, God.
You're being hoodwinked by fucking people
gaming the algorithm.
Listen, I know better than to question you, Adam.
Are we going to go to India and everything's going to be all right?
Yeah.
Yes, I've learned.
It's taken me four and a half years.
When I was at the Red Bull soapbox going,
this piece of shit is going to break at the front.
I reckon we're going to get to the bottom.
I don't think there's going to be any breaks.
I think it's going to be a mess.
And Adam was like,
no spoilers, please.
Just shut up.
And then he was like,
oh yeah, it's going to be absolutely fucking cracking.
And it is.
Why are we questioning him?
He's mental, but he's right.
He's right.
Just roll with it.
But I'm not eating street food.
We're going to be fine.
We're going to cycle around India.
Have a terrific time.
Will we get dysentery?
Maybe.
But that's just going to make me thinner.
But here's the thing.
Just don't eat it then.
Here's the thing.
What?
We're going to India for charity.
And that's fine.
You know?
We're doing our best to save these children
who are dying of, you know, lupus or whatever they've got.
Right?
It's your new favourite one, isn't it?
I think we've researched the charity.
Two lupuses in a week.
It's, you know, kids are very ill,
and maybe on death's door,
and it's the hospice to give their families care, isn't it?
Make sure they've got a bed and that while the kids are dying.
And it's awful, and we're doing what we can. Right? But here's the thing. It's their families care, isn't it? Make sure they've got a bed and that while the kids are dying. And it's awful and we're doing what we can, right?
But here's the thing.
It's for a renovation, but never mind.
Yeah, well, it's for both, isn't it?
So that they can provide that care.
The renovation is so they can provide that care.
They get a better gaff.
Yeah.
It's for families who want to have a kick about.
It's a good five-a-side pitch
next to a children's hospice.
That's what it is, I reckon.
Or if you're a parent of a dying child,
you want to play five-a-side.
God,
this is fucking sad.
Fancy a kickabout.
If you don't have
the facilities,
that's it.
So what we need to do
is get a couple of fat lads
from a podcast
and send them to India.
It's working.
Yeah.
We're working really well.
But what are we
really going for?
Content.
What makes the best content?
You having street food.
We use this as a clip of foreshadowing.
You have some street food.
Then you poo yourself on a bike. Best content
we've ever made. Let's go.
No.
No.
No.
I'm taking a backpack of yum-yums.
You're taking a what?
I'm taking a backpack of yum-yums.
I'm going to go to my local co-op where they make professional kitchen-based yum-yums. You're taking a walk? I'm taking a backpack of Yum-yums. I'm going to go to my local co-op
where they make kitchen,
professional kitchen-based Yum-yums.
I'm going to...
Oh, I like that.
They can't bring this many Yum-yums into India.
I fucking can't.
I can't.
By the way,
that's a spot-on impression of Indian...
It's at Manchester Airport.
Whoa!
British Indian.
Whoa.
Who's checking for Yum-yums on the way out?
Did you ever see Navatar? So, that's what I'll be doing. Who's checking for yum-yums on the way out? Have you ever seen Avatar?
So that's what I'll be doing.
What's Dan doing?
Eating yum-yums, mate.
I'm just going to take loads of steak.
You can't get steak out there, can you?
You can't kill cows.
A backpack of steak?
Yeah.
I've eaten it on the first day.
Right.
I think it'll last in the heat.
Take a fridge as well.
I think he...
Fucking hell.
Take a cycle-powered fridge. Attach the fridge to me bike. right it'll last in the heat take a fridge as well I think he fucking take a
a cycle powered fridge
attach the fridge
to me bike
keep me steaks
in the fridge
question
hang on
hang on
where's your
if someone is
if someone is
powering the fridge
through cycling
where are they going
are they just stuck on the same spot cooling your meat?
It's just a fun sentence to say.
Not Adam's bike.
It's just a clippy fun sentence to say.
So Adam's bike has someone on it who is cycling,
but that doesn't...
So you think I'm a fucking idiot, don't you?
I've thought it through, okay?
So you put a bike on a stick attached to the van
that Will's going to be in.
The power of the car will act like a cycle.
The fridge is then attached to that bike,
and it's powered by that.
Right.
Should we run the fridge off the engine of the car?
No?
Maybe.
Oh, yeah.
That's less fun, though, isn't it?
Attach a bike to a van,
and then I'll attach my bike to the back of that bike
and I won't cycle
fucking anywhere.
I'll just be like,
do it.
You know,
hands free,
eating yum yums.
He's trying to get in the van
the whole way,
eating steaks out of his
legs that he's put on.
Yeah,
what's the rules
on killing cows in India?
They're holy.
They're holy cows.
They're not holy to Indians.
They're holy to the main religion.
Hindus.
So there's people over there
who are just going around blowing cow's heads off
because they're like,
I'm not an Hindu anymore, me, me.
Right?
But the Hindu ones,
they're going, don't.
That's God.
Every one of them's God.
What?
They're just sacred.
Is it a federal law to blow a cow's head off in India?
Federal law.
You're breaking state law, boy.
Probably is, isn't it?
Like us with the swans.
Yeah, you can't kill cows.
Can you bring dead cows in?
Pre-killed.
Oh, one minute.
Oh, we've found a loophole.
You just get a fine.
How much?
10,000 rupees.
Oh, what's 10,000 rupees?
Yeah, it's nothing.
It's like Zimba weighing money, isn't it?
It is.
What's the rupee to the pound?
95 quid.
Ow!
I'd blow a cow's head off if I'd wanted.
How many states are you going to get out of a cow?
By the way, if there was a fucking farm over here where it was like 95 quid, come and kill a cow, I'd be a cow's head off if I'd want it how many states you gonna get a cow by the way if there was a fucking
farm over here
where it was like
95 quid
come and kill a cow
I'd be there every week
that's a good price
to go and blow a cow's head off
I don't think
that's how it works
I don't think you pay the farm
before you do it
I'd just give them
fucking five ton
and be like
alright give us a gun
five bullets
I'm off to find
five fucking coos
they don't
it's better when
shooting a cow to ask for forgiveness
than permission.
They bury all the dead cows.
What? They bury all the dead cows.
If they see a dead cow, they bury it.
Yeah, but then you just give one of the fucking
undertakers a little fucking dropsy to turn his blind eye
for five minutes while I cut a little rib eye off
before they fucking put it in the ground.
Cow undertaker. there's also no law
banning the consumption
of beef
or steak
you can't eat beef
you can't eat beef
you can
yeah
yeah you can
and it feels annoying
oh this is a sacred
cheeseburger
yeah
so there's definitely
like underground gaffs
there where you like
come and get a belt
of cheeseburger
meat easies
can you google
steak restaurant
Mumbai that is in India isn't it yeah we're not going there though yeah come and get a belted cheeseburger meat easies can you google steak restaurant Mumbai

Jaipur

Agra to Jaipur
we're flying to Delhi

there is like
there's four
all in Mumbai
yeah
Mumbai has a population
of about 20 mil
only one of them has reviews though
right
and that is called
Imbiss
would you eat steak
in India
I would
why
is it from a kitchen
yeah
well the last review
was in 2018
so I'm not sure
about this place
don't trust it
go on what's it saying
what's that song
with Jai pouring
Jai Ho
Jai Ho Nicole Jai Ho.
Nicole Schertinger.
The Pussycat Dolls.
Oh, there was a blonde one of them.
Was there?
Ashley.
Yes.
Ashley Banjo.
Now, that's the lead singer of diversity.
I know what I said.
Lead singer?
I know what I said.
I'm the lead singer of diversity.
Are we checking reviews of an Indian restaurant?
Apparently so.
It's a major letdown.
Damp interiors.
Can ignore the interiors as Imbiss is all about food,
and that was the biggest letdown.
Cold food and not appetising at all.
Cold food?
Do you reckon that's confused Indian people
who are having steak for the first time?
They've ordered it medium rare,
and they've been like,
oh, this has been allowed to rest.
It's a bit...
I just think that's people
who don't know about steak.
I just think they're thick.
Stupid Indians.
Yeah.
Genuinely, what are we going to eat
in India though?
Like, just hotel.
As long as it's meat,
I can eat it.
Are you going to still be carnivore?
Is this you now?
Are you a new...
I'll tell you when I start
feeling like shit.
The advice in India
is avoid the meat, isn't it?
Yeah.
That is the general advice.
Depends who you listen to.
Who have you listened to there?
It's Piers Morgan now, isn't it?
It is.
He's got it in my ear.
Some homophobe.
Just don't let things touch your mouth.
That's what I've always been told in India.
Speaking of Piers Morgan, by the way,
have you seen that he...
Interviewed George Galloway.
Blocked me on Twitter.
But, you know, Fiona Harvey,
the woman who is allegedly the real-life Martha
from Baby Reindeer.
Yeah.
She fucking stalked George Galloway.
Did she?
Back in the 80s, when he was off for an MP.
She was like, I want to be the MP.
I'm going to turn up your house
and ring your foot a number for hundreds of times.
It was quite problematic, the way he presented it
because he said when she stalked me, it was real stalking
because there was no texts or emails.
She had my landline number
and she would just turn up at my house all the time.
Yeah, that's OG stalking.
That's the hard one.
Yeah, he said he's going to testify for Richard Garda
if it goes to trial because he's like, she's fucking mental.
Will he wear the hat?
What?
He always wears the hat. He's got, she's fucking mental. Will he wear the hat? What? He always wears the hat.
He's got a bit of a hat. He's responsible
for one of the best TV moments
in British history.
Unbelievable.
Oh, you love that pussy, don't you, George?
He's a phenomenal orator.
You could listen to George Gallagher.
He's a surgeon.
Yeah.
Phenomenal.
Yeah, phenomenal. He blocked me on Twitter and I've never spoke to him. Never. He's right though, isn't he? he's a surgeon yeah phenomenal yeah
phenomenal
he blocked me on twitter
and I've never spoke to him
never
he's right though isn't he
yeah
but how did he know
spot on there
and this was ages
this was years ago
yeah
he's good on twitter apparently
he knew
he just checked one tweet
and was like gobshite
I've also had my
ban on wikipedia
extended to three years
for simply searching Les Dennis on Wikipedia.
That is quite the algorithm they've got.
From one year to three years
and back to three years in the slammer.
Email the fucking Hey Child about him to Wikipedia
with the photo of me, you and Les
and be like, well, mate, he's Sam, isn't he?
Or a picture of him eating hay.
What old Stephen Muller, no, did do him.
Said he kisses snakes before he goes to bed.
Why?
Why did he do that?
Yeah.
That's bold.
Where is Wikipedia?
On the internet.
I don't know.
Where is it?
Who's goose?
Is there a Wikipedia head office?
Yeah.
Where someone's working there going,
oh, he's a gobshite.
Oh my God, George Galloway doesn't trust him.
Fucking lifetime. It's in Sunderland
isn't it
there's a guy
that's written out
the whole of Wikipedia
the UK Wikipedia
head office
is in Sunderland
I know
it's mad isn't it
wow
someone wanted
cheap office space
it's edited by
viewers isn't it
yeah but there's
got to be some
arbitration
you haven't been.
There is, because I change things and they go,
you can't do that and they're going to ban your IP forever.
Cunts.
I also...
Actually, I won't say that one.
No, you've got to now.
When I was in uni,
I changed the name of the vice-chancellor
on our uni page for six months to Dr. Swat.
Nobody knows us for six months to Dr. Swat. Nobody knows us for
six months, Dr. Swat.
Yeah, but who the fuck
is checking
Wikipedia for their vice
chancellor of their university?
No, apparently no one.
Or just the people like, yeah, I agree.
I didn't even,
I'm surprised. Wikipedia must be
based in Silicon Valley Valley though San Fran and
we're side yeah San Fran and Sunland love to see that meeting okay sit down Glenn we're sending
you away overseas it's a really big opportunity I know you've just bought property in Northern
California but have you ever been to Tyneside and Wearside?
I got my house value yesterday.
That's worrying.
Up or down? From what?
From what you wanted.
From what I paid for it, we are
well up. Expected. But
I have spent a lot of money on it.
But it wasn't
as much as I wanted.
I thought it would be worth more. But is it more than you paid for it and have spent a lot of money on it, but it wasn't as much as I wanted. I thought it'd be worth more.
But is it more than you paid for it and have spent on it?
Is your equity in the plus?
Five years in, garden office, fully renovated.
I've spent a good chunk.
We're 100 grand over what we paid.
I reckon we might be 25 grand in profit,
which is not... Not ideal. it's not shemazing no
we have spent about 70 80 grand doing it up apparently you can't mortgage on a garden office
so the value what are you trying to sell that separately
i would now does it not add value to the house? It adds saleability, apparently.
So people come in and go,
oh, this is what this is worth.
What the fuck?
That's class.
And she went, oh my God, can I see it?
And it's, having someone that we don't know.
Just have cum tissues all over it.
Just Ishan's cum rags.
I would buy your house because of that.
But apparently you can't,
it doesn't add to like the proper valuation of it.
Don't know if you've had your house evaluated,
but it feels like they want to bang you.
I mean, she was a wonderful woman, like really nice.
But she comes in just like, oh my God, I love it.
Oh, I love this, I love that.
It's super fucking positive.
You sure she wasn't high?
Okay, man.
You sure she wasn't high?
Oh my God.
Oh, I love the pink elephant that's flying in the kitchen.
Yeah, she was really into it.
But I'm a bit displeased.
Sell this to me.
Oh.
Why?
What are you going to do with it?
Live in it.
No, you know.
Oh, I don't want my house to be a fuck palace.
I'll raise my children there.
Go and get someone else's house for a fuck palace.
Okay.
You're going to need a quick sale.
You're going to move out to this?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'm not feeling it.
Oh.
Oh shit.
Why the fuck am I moving out
to give someone a free garden office?
I want the garden office.
You want it?
No, I want it.
Oh.
Is it not like,
can you not pick it up?
I don't think so.
It doesn't look that well made.
You could definitely strip the doors and stuff off.
That's the big expense there, isn't it?
Is it not rebuildable?
Who made it for you?
Joe and I?
Yeah.
How much is that going to cost me?
I'm about to buy a pick-up truck.
You can just put in my pick-up truck.
Oh, yeah, cool.
A seven metre by three metre garden office
taken to bits and rebuilt
cost me fucking loads.
Yeah, but you'll have the garden.
I'm not doing it.
I'm not doing it.
The house isn't worth as much as I wanted.
You're not moving?
I don't think so.
Not fucking leaving.
What's Laura said?
She was just...
You sit down and you go,
what's the point?
What's the fucking point?
I'm giving someone a free garden office.
The other house that she found now
was in a better house. Yeah, but the mortgage is ten times what we're paying now.'m giving someone a free garden office. The other house that you found now was in a better house.
Yeah, but the mortgage is 10 times what we're paying now.
10?
10.
No garden office.
10 times?
Nine times.
Fuck off.
Yeah, don't do that.
Genuinely, nine times.
Yeah.
Do not move house then.
What are you doing?
Just to be detached where we're semi-detached.
When you say nine times,
do you mean you would owe nine times as much money
or it would be nine times more a month?
Close to both.
That is insanity.
I'm not letting you do that.
What the fuck are you talking about?
And also, just for what?
To be slightly detached
so we can't hit dogs in the night.
In Aswall?
Aswall is nice.
I'd be paying a chunk more,
lose my garden office to be like,
oh my God, there's a Marks and Spencers food hall
within walking distance
I can't do it
I can't do it
no you don't
that's fucking stupid
mad innit
yeah
oh thanks
fucking stupid
Laura we love you
but shut up
yeah
shut up
fucking stop asking him
to move to Heswell
will ya
she's been
honestly
this has been a lifelong thing
that she's been on about
since Sunday morning
who found the house
it's right moving it it's just dolly daydreams on right move is a is a gate is a dangerous game
yeah who found the house you or her uh i did oh there you go tell to shut up again then yeah it's
not just you were joking it wasn't it wasn't just laura it was it was both of us we went to haswell
i went this would be nice wouldn't it it's a weird
thing when you live someone somewhere where you're not asked about it yeah it's just a weird feeling
i love chester but we're a 10 minute drive from chester and you're just in this village that's
you've been it's not particularly offensive but it's not like it's fine you don't feel
attached to me i don't know yeah i went down the down the local. I think there's a new landlord.
That's slightly improved.
They were a bit friendlier.
The beer garden's better.
Maybe what I need to do
is start being
lead by example
and just get involved.
Because I've been doing
that thing of going,
no, I'm not arsed.
Maybe I need to be more involved.
Neighbourhood watch?
Yes.
No, don't do that
because you'll be on
a fucking sex offenders register.
Join the Pilates group?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Meant to fly.
I just want to sort of facilitate more alcoholism.
What about Etta, though?
Surely moving school for her wouldn't be ideal as well.
No, there's that.
But she's seven and it's my money.
You know what I mean?
What year is she in?
I mean, ultimately.
What year is she in?
Kids move schools all the time.
No, look.
But it's meant to be one of the most disruptive things
you can do to a girl.
Oh, she'd be so dramatic.
She'd have four best mates by the first lunch break.
Wherever Etta goes,
if you just go and chill out,
she comes back and she's like,
I've made some new best friends.
She's incredible like that.
She's just dead sound
and doesn't have any fear with that.
She can just roll in.
I know this sounds like typical me being a wind-up,
but I was like that a lot when I was a kid.
If I ever went to Charlie Chalks,
I'd go in the ball pit in 20 minutes,
I'd be back and be like,
Mum, this is my best man for my wedding when I'm 25.
I made best mates at the kids' play centres.
100%.
I've only been in Charlie Chalks the other year.
I was there so often, my nan lived near there yeah have you hung out with a kid like yeah that's a really good
point i would have been there together oh that's cute yeah i've hung out with kids like my mates
my mate that sound bad i've hung out with like my mate's kids and they're a bit more like shy
and anxious and it really stands out when you're used to like kids like Etta and Jack who are just like and do you know what?
Same with me.
When I used to go out clubbing
like
I was so bad for it.
I was like
I've known these guys
for like
I know these guys for eight years
but look at these new people
that I've just found
that I don't know.
They're going for an afters.
You still do that now?
I know.
When you go on a night out with us
the first like four pints
you're with us like
this is class day it's so good to see the boys and like the first like four pints, you're with us like, this is class day,
it's so good to see the boys.
And like the first sip of your fifth pint,
it's like,
oh, Dan has gone
and we're not going to see him
until tomorrow morning
at the podcast studio.
You're so elusive on the ale.
I know, I love it.
It's an adventure.
I hate it.
I love it.
I hate it so much.
It's an adventure.
When we're all out together,
I want us to be together
and have a good night
and everyone else sticks around,
but you just,
you're like fucking the Tasmanian devil.
You're just...
And then we'll try and call you
and you won't answer your phone for six weeks.
Yeah, yeah.
I do love you though.
No, I know.
But I know that Etta's,
she'll grow up and probably be into it
and want to go out and get,
and she'll be the same,
like, who's new?
Let's do it. I think she'd be fine with a new school. She'll be fine. probably be into it and want to go out and get, and she'll be the same, like, who's new? Let's do it.
I think she'd be fine with a new school.
She'd be fine.
You're not moving though?
Nine times is genuinely, that's stupid, isn't it?
It's absolutely absurd.
Unless you're paying £10 a month for your mortgage,
which you're not.
Nine times is...
No, unless your house is like a bit, is okay.
And then that investment is like,
oh, there's another bedroom
it's bigger it's fucking
well nicer. Is it all of that stuff? No.
Right well then what are you talking about?
That's a little stupid. No no no no.
Especially with Jack's age and making your life
harder aren't you? When he's like hey where's the
toilet now and he just shits on the floor. Mate I could
move Jack to Afghanistan and he wouldn't know the difference.
He's just three and he's like
Spider-Man.
Speaks the language though.
Yeah.
I'm going to try
and move really quickly.
We're getting a house
at the back end of this year.
So,
conveyance solicitors
famously do that as well.
What?
Conveyance,
they're so fast.
No,
but as quick as possible.
So,
I spoke to... Mate, conveyance soliciting, get into it. What a Conveyance, they're so fast. No, but as quick as, sorry, I spoke to.
Mate,
conveyance soliciting,
get into it.
What a fucking job that is.
Do you get paid by the hour?
Because they stretch
those motherfucking hours.
I had Joey Hughes
remember,
so.
They're incredible though.
Oh,
here's a letter.
Someone wants to move house,
do they?
Do they want to move house?
Got a letter everyone.
You know,
we're conveying solicitors.
This probably needs signing
and sending back
to another solicitor
fuck that
let's put it in the file
that's three weeks later
I believe you brought
mail for that bit
well done
thanks mate
I'm a prop comic
you know
yeah you need to
push them and press them
I know
so I
what is email
I
I go on holiday
next week
come back
and then
so I spoke to Jack the other day
because obviously Jack
me, Jack and Keelan
we all live together
it's like a four bedroom flat
it's like cheaper
especially between the three of us
and it's been really good
Jack's buying loads of furniture
at the minute
and he's storing it all
in his childhood bedroom
in his mum's
like he's bought like tables
and lamps
and all sorts of stuff like that
why?
because when he buys a house
or even moves in,
he wants it to be his place.
He wants to have his own aesthetic
rather than just moving it into a shell.
He loves lamps, doesn't he?
Oh, he's like I was two years ago,
but trainees, it's absurd.
If he sees a lamp, he's like,
I'm having me fucking lamp, mate.
Where's your story of lamps in that room?
The lamp room. Speaking of footwear, I bought a gorgeous pair of shoes that I've wanted for fucking lamp meet. Where's your story of lamps? In that room. The lamp room.
Speaking of footwear,
I bought a gorgeous pair of shoes
that I've wanted for a year yesterday
because I had a job cancelled
that I forgot about.
And they were like,
we're still going to give you the full money.
So I used that full money
to buy the shoes that I wanted for 40 quid.
Back to Jack and lamps and tables
because you've got ADD.
So I spoke to Jack today.
I was like,
do you think we're going to extend
our stay here beyond a year?
And he was like, no.
He's like, I love you and Keelan.
He's like, well,
I think I'm just ready for my independence now.
I want somewhere to live.
It's got to house those lamps.
But literally,
I need a fucking ladder.
It's great hanging out.
But what am I doing with these lamps?
So I, by January,
could do with somewhere to be moving into.
Get started now then.
I know.
Well, when I get back from Tenerife.
Steve's also, he's not here,
but Steve's at the house, so go Steve.
Because I can't be arsed renting again in January
and finding a new place to live and moving there
and then six months or a year later,
I haven't moved out of that.
So I want to try and find somewhere in the next few months
that I can get the ball rolling and get it done.
And do you want to know
what else is cute?
Finn and Arya thinking
about moving in together.
That makes me so happy.
Oh, it's so cute.
In Liverpool?
A creator house.
Oh, I'll tell you what.
I'll just try and buy a big house
and you can just come
and live with me.
At some point.
Oh yeah, she was thinking
about buying a suite.
That's what you want.
Adam Rowe your boss
as your landlord
I need something
something
Jesus Christ
nothing could change
oh my lord
oh that's so cute
that you two
are going to move in together
do we both have to sleep
under the stairs
no
wardrobe
no
you can have one room.
Why have you gone pencil?
Did you not want us to say that?
No.
I was just...
Does your mum not know?
Yeah.
You're looking at me like your mum...
Oh, Poirot doesn't know.
My mum knows.
She knows everything.
Just get a life-size drawing of Poirot on the back door
and she'll be made of.
She'll feel welcome whenever she comes over.
Oh.
I don't think she'll be over much.
I reckon.
No.
She doesn't really leave the house much.
You do see your mum a lot less.
I mean,
sorry,
but you do see your mum a lot less
when you move out.
Yeah,
and when she dies.
Yeah,
you don't see them at all.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
That's the worst.
Yeah.
Thanks for,
thanks for prefacing that
with a little,
sorry,
mate.
But when you move out,
you know,
you've cut,
you've cut the apron cords,
haven't you?
You want to, you want to fly you know, you've cut the apron cords, haven't you? You want to fly.
Yeah, you do.
How often do you see your mother?
Not as much as I should,
but I'm aware of that.
That's fine.
Oh, that's fine.
In my head,
it makes it better.
I've killed seven people,
but I know exactly
how many I've killed.
Yeah.
No, once a week,
but it should definitely be more.
And sometimes it isn't once a week
because this gets in the way.
I mean, that's not an excuse,
but work is busy right now, isn't it?
Yeah.
I'd love to regress.
It'd be great.
Just go back and live at home.
That'd be fucking quality.
No.
I don't want to be a grown-up.
I remember living,
I didn't move out long ago
and I was like,
oh, I'm going to miss this.
No.
I love my mum,
but no, I don't miss her.
All right, well,
keep us updated, Harry and Finn.
Is that all right?
Yeah.
I did a really weird thing there
when I said different names.
Yeah.
I don't want the updates.
You want updates?
And that section was sponsored
by Rightmove.
Don't go to UK.
When are you thinking?
Soonish.
Probably in the next few months.
Ricky Soonish.
I told my mum.
I was like,
oh, Finn mentioned about
potentially us moving,
looking for a place.
And within 20 minutes, she'd sent me
six properties and she was like, just go.
I don't think she likes you, Harry.
That is a fuck you.
Your mum, the hypnotist and Poirot can move in together.
It's like a sitcom.
Poirot and the hypnotist.
She's like a hypnotist and someone who loves Poirot
what could possibly happen
we can talk about what we did in London
now can't we
oh shit yeah
we did, me, Will and Finn
oh shit yeah
yeah we produced for Theo Vaughan
guest Ed Sheeran
a lot of people
like I understand this but it is like produced for Theo Vaughan, guest Ed Sheeran. A lot of people,
I understand this,
but it is like, I just need everyone who listens to this to know. I get
so many messages, especially because people
are onto the fact that it's me that
predominantly books the guests. People message
me all the time going, lad, Theo Vaughan's
in Manchester. Try and get him on the pod.
Every big name
that comes anywhere near the studio,
we make every effort to get them in,
especially people we think would be great, like Theo Vaughn.
I was talking to Theo last week.
He tried absolutely everything to make it so that he could get here.
But often, when they're coming over from America,
we do sort of suffer a little bit from being in Liverpool
and not Manchester with this,
because all these big international acts, do a show in manchester but often they arrive in manchester
in the early afternoon they go and do a sound check in manchester and then they want to chill
before their show and either right after the show or early the next morning they're either going to
london or glasgow or amsterdam and it's normally one of those three places that they're fucking
off to or Dublin.
Um,
we tried,
he wanted to come and do it.
He is coming back either later in the year or early next year,
as is Chris DiStefano.
A lot of people like how I dream guest.
How was Chris not on the pod?
He got to Liverpool at five o'clock.
He did a show at seven. He went to bed and he was out the city again by six again next day.
Sometimes it just doesn't work.
Um,
Theo wants to do this. Theo wants to do this.
Chris wants to do this.
They all want to do it because they know how influential,
especially in the UK, this podcast is.
And it'll happen at some point.
But in such a mad turn of events,
Theo wasn't on our podcast,
but Carl and Finn were on his.
So Will, Carl and Finn went down as a have a word
production team yeah because because theo just didn't have the cameras audio needed someone to
do that side of it so he contacted somebody who contacted me because he wanted a session producer
he essentially wanted jamie once i get that off or yeah yeah there's a question i can find it back
to him and then we found out that he also
needed the crew
so I was like
well we've got everything
so they hired Hathaway
as a production crew
we went down
made the set
everything that you see here
everything we made
that like
where
Will
unbelievably like
dressed the room
made it perfect
made all the shots perfect
yeah it was just
it was insane
what was it sound like?
oh both of them were
can't speak highly enough stupidly sound yeah we had a meal with them afterwards yeah unbelievable
i would be a kicker i know you wouldn't say it on pod but it would be a kicker because i i ed
sharon gets like a bit of stick doesn't he because i think he's got so popular and like hardcore
musos aren't into it but i like a lot of his music and i i think he
comes across as dead sound theo von is one of the funniest podcasters to ever try it oh and and if
you came back and went i tell you he's a gobshite i'd have been gutted well i've told you what ed
did but i can tell everyone now so ed spoke about giving money to schools because he thinks that oh
he's right and thinking that schools are very underfunded
for the art right now. Music,
drama, everything is really underfunded, so he's
going to help. It's not even just right now,
like back in art, the only
things we had were like really old
DJ, dictionary, that was it.
We thought that was normal.
And he was,
so he went back and helped his school, he's helped
the school amazing, and apparently it's flourished the music, so he said back and helped his school he's helped the school amazing and
apparently it's flourished the music so he said i'm gonna take it nationwide
so we had something to eat with him when he was gone i was like i just want to thank you for doing
that and my partner's drama educated she's in a school now they've got nothing uh music wise
and they're really like they really want something to so i said i was going to help out personally
maybe give them some money anyway give me a phone give me his email and said i'll pay for the lot um
i've been emailed and i'm back and forth this week and he's like just send me what you want
send me an address i'll pay for everything so i've sent can i have this yeah and he's like a lot of
money so he's funded cedric's school for music it's it's insane fucking brilliant what a guy and
he's so big you're right like what I'm learning more and more
about like people
who get like
sort of massive
is the bigger you get
I think it's Ricky
Dre spoke about this
the bigger you get
the more fans you've got
but then the more people
know you to hate you
and hate is so much
louder than fandom
apart from maybe
with Taylor Swift
so you hear a lot of people
slag Ed Sheeran off
and a lot of people don't really Sheeran off and a lot of people
don't really like
praise him loads
because they're just like,
yeah, I like his stuff
and he's massive.
And I think the biggest example
of that is Coldplay.
Like, look how many tickets
and albums and streams
and stuff Coldplay sell.
But like,
they're like the band
that everyone's like,
they're shit.
They're fucking absolutely class.
I'd love to see Coldplay live.
They're doing Glastonbury
again this year? Yeah. Most ever. Fifth time. Do they play a lot of their old stuff I'd love to see Coldplay live they're doing Glastonbury again this year
yeah
most ever
fifth time
do they play a lot of their old stuff
because the first two Coldplay
before anyone realised
they were shite
like everyone was like
oh these aren't cool
mate I was at uni
when Parachutes came out
and a rush of blood to the head
those
I fucking love
both of those albums
even Vida's not bad
oh mate
unbelievable
can I ask a question about Anfield
by the way,
it's class, lads.
When you put the picture up,
there's certain things
where you're like,
I'm so used to looking
at your face, Carl,
that when you see
Ed Sheeran and Theo Von
either side,
I'm like,
and I got loads of messages
going,
my head's falling off.
And that is one of my
favorite Scouse-isms
that I didn't have.
And I've heard Laura
use it in real life.
It's filtered to Laura. I was like, how much for
a fucking mortgage? But my
head fell off and people's head
was full. It's just so mental going.
This mate, I know this has happened
but it looks, it almost
looked like it was like, this is made with AI.
Yeah. I had a lot of messages early in the
morning because people had listened to it and
heard my voice and gone, is that you?
Or am I going mad?
I was like, yeah, it is me.
I'll wait until it's out
and then I'll probably talk about it.
But loads of people had a keen ear and knew it was me.
And everyone commented on the video, by the way.
Unbelievable.
Oh, cheers.
Keep going.
Anfield was set up for Taylor Swift for three nights?
Or is it two or three nights?
Three.
And now because it's all set up,
the script have
done it no well it was the script was support and pink yeah right so i went to see pink on monday
cool and because i was gonna say how are the script doing anfield what have i fucking missed
that they are and they're fucking like a stadium band they were were class. Yeah. They were really good. Really good choice to open for it as well
because they're different.
Pink.
Fucking
pink, mate.
What a showman.
Honestly,
I've never,
ever,
ever seen anybody
including Taylor Swift
look that comfortable
on stage.
It was like,
it reminded me of
Ian Stone
at the comedy store.
Genuinely, that's the only parallel I've got. It's, it's, it was like she it reminded me of ian stone at the comedy store genuinely that's the only
parallel i've got it's it's like it was like everyone was thinking it it was like she was
like at a house at her own party in her house she like the bits in between songs where she's
talking to the crowd are not and so obviously not and don't feel at all scripted. She's just having a chat and a laugh.
She's so genuinely authentic.
It just seeps out of her.
She's got bangers.
Oh, mate.
She did an acoustic version of Don't Let Me Get Me,
which is my favorite song of hers.
And it was so much better than the original.
And I fucking loved it.
But she's fucking up in the sky and on trapezes and
like it's she is
it was like as a sort of
show as a spectacle
it was as good as Taylor Swift
wow she was fucking
unbelievable 20 year vet
so obviously so sound
oh yeah she's been gone decades
since we were kids
I think
I think Misunder Understood is 2001,
which is the first out of 25.
25 years.
Yeah.
There you go.
Women taking over Anfield this month.
Okay.
Break time.
And we are back.

Joe Mansbridge says...
You're gooching it. Would you ever get a character on,
a character act on as their character?
So as a podcast,
the likes of Milo McCabe as Troy Hawk,
can I just say,
I'm really getting into Adam Ray as Dr. Phil.
Like the Kill Tony vids are phenomenal.
So I've got a confession to make.
Go on.
So for those who don't know,
there's Dr. Phil,
the Dr. Phil,
the real Dr. Phil,
who does like a self-help,
sort of Jeremy Kyle style,
but with psychiatric help.
Been going like 30 years.
Very famous man.
Yeah.
And then there's a comedian called Adam Ray who does brilliant. Who does a character called Dr. Phil,
which is essentially a parody of that first guy.
And he does it so well.
And when you shared that clip yesterday,
that was the first time ever that I found out
they were different people.
I just thought the real Dr. Phil had started doing like...
Kill Tony. Yeah. i just thought the real dr phil had started doing like kill tony yeah
there's a lad called christian who's a young mexican comedian who does kill tony
and that clip you know when you're watching i've watched a few of adam ray's clips um his stand-up
is great and he's a great podcaster he'd fly on here but his doctor his ability to ad lib as dr
phil is amazing like christian the
mexican kid was like yeah i don't i really talked to my dad he was like oh let's talk about that
and they ad lib the conversation he was having he was like i'll be your dad you be you and he's like
what's happening christian what's up i say i was like oh i was howling laura gets a bit
touchy about stuff like that weirdly i find that's a good test of something being funny
she was howling
he is brilliant
and he'd be
I think honestly
you could even
have him on as
Dr. Phil
I think Adam Ray
would be fire
as a guest
but I think
it would work
like he might be
the one example
so I've always been
against it
but I'm at the
stage where
I'm like yeah
it'd be interesting
to try it and see if it works.
Like when we've had Milo McCabe on before
and he was just himself.
Before he blew up.
Yeah.
So maybe we try,
I have tried to get Milo back on a few times
but he's just so unbelievably busy.
Maybe we get Milo back on,
but it's as Troy and just see how we go.
Even if we do two halves,
one is Troy, one is Milo.
Tricky though, isn't it?
Because he's so good.
Troy Hawke is brilliant, one is Milo. Tricky though, isn't it? Because he's so good. Troy Hawke is brilliant.
But there are points in podcasting
when you just drop it down into conversation, don't you?
Yeah.
So does he have to just do sincere chat as Troy Hawke?
What would Troy say in that situation?
Yeah, he's talented enough to do that.
But it's a, yeah, it's a pressure.
Yeah, it's a big answer.
Yeah.
I'd be like, everything's open, isn't it? uh i'd be like everything's open isn't it yeah man the kill tony stuff over it's over fuck me cover that is over um i they've done
such a good job with kill tony with getting the acts and like the the arena show they did was all
of the best like they're they're mining out the talent from probably some fucking lunatics.
But they are,
because there's so much national interest
in America for Kill Tony,
they're getting the very best
brand new comedians.
And it's such a good show.
If you've never watched much Kill Tony.
Hinchcliffe's about to be
one of the biggest comics going,
I think because of how well
he's done on the roast
that roast was ridiculous
unbelievable
stupid
like he's
he's hot property now
I think
and I see them talking
on Two Bears
about how
they didn't really
want him
and it was
Joe Rogan
spoke to Tom Brady
for him
and was like
this is the best
roaster on the planet
and you've got to
get him on
and Brady's like I'll sort it out even after that there was like execs like I'm not sure they
wanted names and then when it came out and I might sort of be sort of paraphrasing or misremembering
a bit of this but they wanted him on the dais if he was going to do it and then he was like can you
just let me do it the way I want to do it?
Let me just come on from the crowd and walk around.
Just trust me, it'll be so much better.
And then apparently the stage manager was really great and worked with him on it
and was like, oh, I see what you're trying to do.
But he very nearly didn't get on the roast of Tom Brady
and he was far and away the success story.
Everyone's talking about
Nicky Glazer.
I also thought it was really good
to see Bert Kreischer
talking about the fact
that if Schultz had gone
much earlier in the show,
a lot of people would be
talking about Schultz
the way they're talking
about Tony and Nicky
because Schultz's roast
was class.
It was just,
he was about two and a half hours
into the roast
and he still killed it.
So how good would he have done earlier
when people weren't as tired?
I think Tony's going to be absolutely massive now.
I've gigged with him once at New York Comedy Club.
Good.
Both just doing 10 minutes, yeah.
Love it.
That's a guy who's been on Rogan for years as well.
Yeah, he's one of his OGs, isn't he?
Three hours of roast.
Well, it's because they did it like they do with old TV,
which is like, we'll film loads and then we'll cut it back.
But then they streamed it live and left like 90% of it in.
Legendary.
We've got another.
Tresco says.
Can I hear it?
Tresco says.
Why does that bother me?
It's great.
It's not going anywhere.
No, it's like there's a string in my brain
and someone just goes...
Don't.
Tresco says,
got a little game show thingy type thing for you.
Oh, that sounds good.
You're placed in a room
with a motion sensor that is connected to a light
you move the light comes on now for each minute you stay in that room without turning the light
on you will gain two thousand pounds start again i was thinking about something else
adam's out by the way i'm gonna start again
i've got a little game show thingy. It's called Podcast with Adam.
And you have to start a paragraph
and see if he's still with you by the end.
Guess what?
You've already lost.
You're placed in a room with a motion sensor
that is connected to a light.
If you move, the light comes on.
Now, for each minute you stay in that room
without turning the light on,
you will gain £2,000.
How long do you think you can stay in that room for?
How much are you going to win?
Two grand.
Deathly stills, so impossible.
I had this in Nashville.
You wake up every minute.
You're having epilepsy wanks.
I'd get two grand because I'd just win the two grand
from the first minute
and then I'd be bored
but I'd take me two grand
and go for a nice meal
right
you have to get to the end
of the minute
to get that grand
you reckon you can do a minute
yeah
right
can you lie down
I'd suggest
I'd lie down then
you
you probably
are allowed to pick
your position
lay down
reverse cowgirl
yeah on your knees that's ten grand easy yeah if I lay down to pick your position? Lay down. Reverse cowbell.
Yeah.
On your knees.
10 grand easy.
Yeah, if I lay down,
I could probably do 10 minutes without like twitching.
I don't know, man.
Could you?
Like you think you can
because you're like,
yeah, I sleep all the time.
You don't.
I do every night.
Yeah, but you don't.
When do you stay fucking stock still?
If I wanted to, I could win as unlimited
because it doesn't say that you can't start again
when the light comes on
and you've still got the money you've banked.
So I could stay still for a minute
and then do a fucking dance.
No, no, no.
Once the light comes on, end of game.
No, it says every time the light comes on.
No, no.
I think that's purpose.
Tresco.
Bro, I know what Tresco's thinking.
Once the light goes on, end of game, and you get a total.
So if you've done five minutes, bang.
You get.
I think I could do an hour if I wanted to, but I wouldn't want to.
You lay down, don't you?
I'm going'm just sat
hugging my knees
oh yeah
you could do that
sat hugging my knees
like a woman in a movie
who's just witnessed a murder
sad sad shower
yeah
yeah stood up
I'm a minute
an hour
the fucking confidence
yeah yeah
just
to be fair
like
that
isn't going to turn a light on
is it
like
it's like a It's like a...
A motion sensor's moving, isn't it?
You can probably sway a little bit.
No, but if you go to itch your nose...
Yeah, but you do this.
No, that's it.
That movement is light on.
Do you reckon?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Carl's just being like, I don't trust this sensor.
I can move however I want to.
I can't do Pilates.
It's sensitive, that, though.
Yeah, it is.
It is.
My nose is itching.
Yeah.
Well, I'd start the thing like this, then.
No worries.
What about blinking?
Does that count?
No, you can blink.
You can blink.
See, look.
Everyone itching.
Right, what if your arsehole starts itching?
I was never going to itch that.
I'd do the thing where you do this.
And itch it.
You'd itch your arsehole with your arsehole.
You moved.
Or you fart and try and itch it.
That's, by the way, the best life ever gets there,
is itching your arsehole with a fart.
Unless it makes it worse.
What do you mean?
It makes it worse?
It can.
I've never had that. You can have an itchy arsehole and go,
I just fart when I'm out, and then go, oh.
That's if you poo.
Yeah, that's if you poo.
I've never had that.
Oh, not if you can't.
If I get an itchy arseso and I've got a far through
and honestly
that is like the stars
aligning
it's like God's going
to your dad
have a good day kid
once your balls
are stuck to the
inside of your leg
to not move that off
would be
torture
I honestly think
I'm maybe walking away
with six grand
and then
my body's just going to do
something
I reckon you could do an hour
yeah if you pick a
stress position
and just get over it
lay down
eyes closed stick a podcast or some music on sound yeah I reckon you could do an hour. Yeah, if you pick a stress position and just lay down.
Eyes closed.
Stick a podcast or some music on.
Sound.
Yeah.
Make sure you get comfy.
Like, well, fall asleep.
Even better.
Wake up a millionaire, mate.
Bore.
I wouldn't want to because it is boring.
I'd just take two grams of golf.
It's boring.
Cut it on an hour.
Don't need your money.
I'm out of here.
We are going to do some revenge-based confessions because we did a revenge story last week
and we've had quite a few in.
So these are essentially confessions.
I read one of these as they came in.
But they're all revenge stories.
One of our biggest clips ever is Revenge.
Jimmy Carlin.
Ah, it's the sneaky one.
The Ibiza special.
Anyone?
Alright.
Another snake one.
What?
Zach's broke up with him or cheated on him and then he he started a fake
Facebook thing
and the answer was snake
and you have to text
the word snake
to her number
so she just got loads
of people texting
her the word snake
it was
unbelievable
nicely done
Simon Cole says
wag wag lids
petty revenge story
for you
my every delivery driver
one day told me
they refused to take
any parcels in for me
when I'm
even
when I'm out even though I would often...
Right, hang on.
Is this guy all right?
That's totally all right, man.
Have you delivered driving?
My every driver's the dum-dum-bum.
I was out and go that boo-ah.
Get on that.
Revenge.
Keep that ball in.
Simon Cole says, Wag-wag wag lids petty revenge story for you my every delivery driver one day told me my neighbor refused to take any parcels in for me when i'm out even though i
would often take in stuff for them so now because they grow veg in the back of the garden whenever
i find that whenever i find snails and slugs i throw
them onto their veg patch um i appreciate that how often are you finding slugs and snails
yeah they're not as prominent as when we were kids by the way no oh and spiders did you i was
just made aware of a story from australia where a 19 year old healthy fit lad was a rugby player and they were
all just on the pierce like having a barbecue and someone saw a slut sucking each other and someone
saw a slug and went a day mal you should eat that and he went ah and then finished his pilates and
did it and just swallowed it died and it gave him rat lungworm and oh my god that's
made me feel awful what's that a horrific form of meningitis and the kid died like nine years later
just from doing the way wouldn't that be funny and just from eating a slug fucking ruined his life
what's a dirty slug don't eat slugs that's quite a common thing isn't it no but you can imagine
lads being like,
ah, you should do that.
You shouldn't have to get taught that in school.
Oh, no one ever told me not to eat slugs.
Oh, God.
I mean, that's natural selection at its finest, unfortunately.
Laura wants her little...
The French are going to be fucking gutted about that.
Are they that young?
They famously do.
We love any slug...

0-0.
I don't think Turkey have anything to say.
0-0 on penalties and they just end the tournament.
Not if Ragnik's Austria have anything to say about it.
Yeah, they don't, though.
They do.
They look decent.
They do look decent.
They look fucking decent.
England are still favourites and France are third favourites.
Well, no one's concentrating then.
What are we doing?
I think Gareth Southgate and
obviously there's
going to be games
before this even
goes out so we
don't know but I
think he's doing
like the ultimate
rope-a-dope he knew
they'd breeze through
that group so he's
just looking shite and
then they're going to
come out in the next
round and just
fucking blitzkrieg
everyone I think
that's off France
are they doing as
well but then are
they who are England
playing Slovakia
yeah Slovakia? Yeah.
Slovakia then it's either Switzerland
or a bad Italy team
and then the
semi-final will probably be
Holland.
Right.
Yeah.
It's been
I mean
And Phil Foden's gone home
for the birth of his third child.
No.
Is that what it is?
It's his mum's new XL bully
got delivered
and she was like
Phil it's a bit big
can you come home
can't get it through
what actually is it
because I nearly made
all of these jokes
on Twitter
but then I was like
oh if someone's dying
it's his kid
it's his third child
being born
oh is it
this kid is
mate Phil Foden
is racking up some children
how old is he
23
yeah
he's only third
he's just coming
man's gonna be
fucking
16 kids in
by the time he retires
stats mate I had a room with that just once they're juicy free backy Just come in, eh? Man's going to be fucking 16 kids in by the time he retires.
Stats, mate.
I heard a rumour that is just one of their juicy free backy.
I've heard that one as well.
She's like, I can't wait to the end of the tournament, Phil,
so he's going out in the group.
I know she's sucking her Excel bullies off.
Stick Phil Foden's margaret.
She's the new John Terry's margaret.
What did John Terry's margaret? I don't remember.
So this is one of my favourite stories ever.
So, you know, John Terry obviously is like a sort of,
apart from Chelsea and real like super England fans,
everyone hates John Terry, don't they?
I'd have liked him on my team,
but he seemed like a bit of a twat.
He was, you know,
allegedly racist to Anton Ferdinand
and his defence was,
I didn't call you a black cunt.
I said, I didn't call you a black cunt,
which is such a weird defence of racism.
And then he shagged Wayne Bridge's wife
and shit like that.
So he's very much hated.
And Liverpool fans had a song about John Terry
and it goes like this.
John Terry's ma, she loves the Scouse car.
And it's because she was shagging some Scouse fella for a bit,
allegedly.
God, they're real gossipers on the terraces there
at Stamford Bridge, aren't they?
In the court case with Anton Ferdinand for the racism stuff,
John Terry, on the witness stand
got asked by his own lawyer,
can you please recount the song
that Liverpool fans sing to you about your mother?
So in the public record on the stand,
John Terry is quoted as saying,
John Terry's ma, she loves the Scouse car.
Do you think the solicitor just broached that with him before
and like, listen, go with me.
This is going to win this case.
I think the solicitor's a fucking cop.
He didn't have to sing, did he?
He didn't sing.
Imagine if he sang it and went,
and he's got a Liverpool top up.
Up the fucking reds, you knobhead.
What were we talking about?
Slugs, yeah.
Eating slugs. Classic H, yeah. Eating slugs.
Classic Havre word moment.
It's got screeching written all over it.
By the way, if you've got a neighbour
who grows veg in the back of the garden,
I fucking...
Even if they're a bit of a bellend,
why is a snail over...
Oh, this is because you're about to buy land in Cheshire.
What about my cabages?
No, you'd...
See, you do this and you're just sabotaging your neighbour, growing some veg. What about my cabbages? No, you'd... Like, see, you do this
and you're just sabotaging your neighbour.
Growing some veg.
What happens if you're making the Sunday dinner one week
and you realise you're out of cabbage?
Yeah, well, I'm not...
We're out of chicken dippers.
Oh, babe, I forgot to get turnips.
Go and knock next door.
Colin will have some.
The neighbour should just grow up
and take the fucking parcels in.
What?
Take the fucking parcels in.
I take them all.
Take the parcels in and keep them.
Yeah, but you're the new bin leader, aren't you?
He's dead.
Al-Qaeda.
No, but you are.
It was Brian's job.
You're called the bin leader.
Yeah, I'm the bin moaner.
I think you're the fucking dad of the street, mate.
I'm trying to get it.
Are you?
I've complained a couple of times.
You're like Jude Bellingham.
Like, you'd already be a captain.
Yeah.
Even though you're, like, 19.
A lot of people are coming to me for things,
and I do like it.
Oh.
Kiss the fucking ring.
My ass.
Yeah.
Not much to take your bins out to, you love.
Kiss my asshole.
I will do it.
I'm not saying no.
I'm saying, for me to do that
you're gonna have to give me
a little peck on the bumhole
know what I mean
Carl
Carl have you got a package
from ASOS
yeah yeah yeah
there's my arsehole
pucker up Louise
oh god
that was my
old neighbours name
what are you fucking
going through my
neighbours
names
yeah
I am
I am
I was just like oh I've been accused of some things on here but that's gonna take some recovering from I was just like post Name? Yeah, I am. I am.
Oh, I've been accused of some things on here,
but that's going to take some recovering from. I was going to say post, but I was like,
why would they be on my post?
I've got a letter for you.
It's not, it's for Louise.
Louise says, I just read it off here.
Hi, lads.
Petty revenge story.
I was dumped after a long-term relationship
and he wanted to save friends afterwards.
I paid for a Netflix account,
but I still let him have a profile.
But out of bitterness,
I would sneak onto his profile
and find a new series he was watching
and occasionally fast forward 20 minutes on an episode
or skip ahead a few.
Wow.
But only now and again at random frequencies.
He must have caught on
because he then pin protected his profile
in which I then got an email from Netflix
as the account holder
with a copy of his new pin unbeknownst to him.
This fun continued until he ultimately decided
to pay for his own fucking account.
That took six months.
That is from Louise, Carl's neighbor.
That is world-class revenge play.
Is there anything worse than being like
into the CDs you're watching
and just being like,
have I fucking missed something yet?
Oh, I started killing Eve, by the way.
Oh, Jodie Comer's insane.
The first series is unreal.
The first series is, it's pitiful.
Is it really?
Yeah.
So I've watched two episodes,
but I already love it.
Oh, it's fucking insane.
That's Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
That's the girl in Ruffalo Bag of Wands.
It's mad that Jodie Comer does such a good job
of playing a Russian,
but she is so obviously Scouse.
Do you think?
She looks Scouse.
Her face is so Scouse.
She looks Russian.
No, like,
this is genuinely,
you are so sort of
honorary Scouse
because of this podcast
and you're here so often.
This is premier level.
The telepathy
that Scousers have where like, I will, do you know what, I this is this is premier level the the like telepathy that
scousers have we're like i i will i i'll do this when i'm away next week in tenerife there will be
a day where i'm on the strip or somewhere and i will see someone and go there scouse them and i
will get my phone out and i will video self record myself walking over to them and asking where they're
from there is just so i i'm it sounds like i believe in fairies but scousers just know who the scousers are from just something in their
head and jodie comer is a scouser and you can see it even when she's doing the russian accent
well i was blown away when i found out she was scouse like i didn't know i'd know i think she's
my we played that game we played that game in the church before the Anfield Anfield didn't we
yeah
and most people
are Norwegian
she's in my hall pass
Jodie Comer
as like one of the
more attainable ones
what do you think
well she's Scouser
isn't she so
if I could pick anyone
if I was allowed
she only fucks Scousers
if I was allowed
any one hall pass
for me
it'd be Florence Pugh
just because I feel
it's more realistic oh yeah Florence Pugh, just because I feel it's more realistic.
Oh, yeah.
Florence Pugh.
Friend of Louise.
Natasha says...
Natasha says...
I was in a relationship with my ex for three years.
Don't be in a relationship with your ex for three years.
You crazy bit.
I was in a relationship
with my ex for three years
and used to work for him.
Oh, yeah.
On the dick.
He had his own landscaping business
and used to make YouTube videos
as a side hustle.
He made a couple of hundred quid
off the videos each month.
I filmed the videos,
edited,
and ran his YouTube channel.
I found out he cheated on me
two weeks after our three-year anniversary.
Shit!
So I deleted all his highest-earning videos.
I don't care about being anonymous.
He knows I did it, and I have no regrets.
Now, the thing is, Natasha, you have struck a chord there with me
because that is an evil that is too close to home for me
yeah but if you'd done something horrific
yeah
you reap what you sow
if Laura came after my insta
oh there would be revenge
from me
what if she was making it better
what do you mean
everyone wants to see fucking

about someone been deleting youtube videos yeah fuck that don't do that don't do that that's nasty
let's have a break
welcome back justin morose hey hello everybody i think he might have been our second ever guest all right who's the
first paul paul yeah second ever guest it's taken this long to invite me back i wasn't even here i
wasn't here then oh that's mental oh my god it was yeah august 2020 just use yeah it was the three
of us yeah it was in the darkest recesses.
You were there.
I wasn't.
He wasn't.
He was in Japan.
I did not.
He started the next week.
Yeah.
He refused to work with Justin.
I'll tell you.
I stayed in Japan a week.
He said that Phoenix Knights is shit.
And I remember him from that.
And I first met you.
Well, I met you before you went, I think, with Adam.
But then I met you because Freddie was doing one in one in runcon as well weren't you at the time
yeah and then you was there yeah i wouldn't never say about phoenix nights by the way
love it just saying i don't mind i know i know but i'm not letting the piece land
i spent 20 years people asking me about phoenix nights right and i'm not asked because i used to
work on the radio and you get somebody who's in Emmerdale and they're doing Run For Your Wife at Bolton Octagon.
Before the Shirelles is finished, they go,
by the way, I don't want to talk about Emmerdale.
You think, what?
Why the fuck do you think you're here?
No one's arsed about you doing your play.
You're here because you're a bit of a name,
so I don't mind talking about it.
People ask you all the time.
It's also mad when musicians hate their best song
not the best song but like that refuse to play it yeah the one that gets like their the biggest
reaction musicians like i don't like playing that anymore because you know it made me all
me money it's the reason everyone's here so i'm just not playing and then conversely the guy who
plays it four times in a set that's also like who does that who doesn't play it i know padamore
didn't play misery business we did new kate is anybody who doesn't play it I know Paramore didn't play Misery Business but did New Kate is anybody who doesn't
play their big
Radiohead refused
to play Creep
for years
because it was their
big international hit
yeah
but they
that's the thing
with Justin
you've had a great
career though
haven't you
but you've had a great
career where you've
fucking nailed it
with other stuff
if you are only famous
for one thing
and then everything else
has been a bit dog shit
it must be just
constantly annoying
to be like hey remember that good thing you're in done everything there is to do by the
way like everything literally everything mcintyre's roadshow apollo qi all the big he's done real
countdown in dictionary corner did you yeah that's cool real countdown twice got a got a nine letter
word that even suzy dent didn't get what was it oh that's a win
yeah
what
did you
yeah
I would die there and then
it was one of the greatest moments of my life
and she just turned to me
she just went
well done
Carl Shaggs
I would remember that forever
she's amazing
she's so good
do you know like when it goes
she's like
going like
and you think oh she's she knows the words she's literally doing a gas bill she's amazing she's so good do you know like when it goes she's like going like you think oh
she's she knows the words she's literally doing a gas bill she's online she's online doing a
facebook and all genuinely she's on there going like oh my god isn't the producer of that a former
champion yeah damien yeah and he's like he's like idiot so apparently they all play it yeah like
they're actually all playing the game they ask you right, right, when you go on, they go,
do you want an earpiece?
And you go, what?
And they go,
so we can give you the words.
And I go,
no, I want to play the game.
I'd want to play the game.
Because they can go in your ear
and go,
it's that for seven.
Whisper it in your ear.
And I go,
no, I'd rather just play it.
I wonder who's taken that.
Most.
I'll tell you.
Most.
I used to watch it every day
when I got home from school
and I used to love it and the maths one as well.
Did you really plus one it with your dad?
What?
Did you really plus, or was that a joke?
That was a joke I did.
I forgot about that.
I used to do a bit about,
my dad, I'd get home from school
and my dad would be having a nap
and I'd set the clock back an hour
and when my dad woke up,
I'd put countdown on plus one
and just like blitz every round.
Yeah, but my dad's really good with words.
So he used to like watching it.
And the words I was fine with,
but the maths I was obviously always really good with.
And I used to love like getting that competitive with my dad.
I love that word, obviously there.
The numbers obviously I was very good with.
That's obviously O-B-V-I-O-S, that's fair, eight.
It's such a good day that, because eight I love it it's such a good day
that because one day
you do five shows
in a day
and it's like clockwork
it's in Leeds isn't it
no no it's in Manchester now
it's in Salford
moved over a few years ago
did it used to
I'm sure
it used to be a Leeds thing
ITV Yorkshire
used to be made that
where they make Emmerdale
don't want to talk about that
don't want to talk about
what was in there but now yeah it's in it's in soul for the doc 10
and um and it's colin uh colin murray who hosts it now and he's just like he loves it so there's
a real enthusiasm before it was anne robinson she was have you seen when she was doing it
the last one i saw was jeff was it jeff stellan was he he did it for a bit and the guy from
the apprentice was doing it for a while Nick Dempsey
not Nick Dempsey
who's the OG
was it Des Lynam
Des Lynam
no he has done it
he has done it
I knew it
I see
fucking laughing at me
he was Richard Whiteley
that's who I'm thinking of
he's the old
twice nightly
twice nightly Whiteley
because he used to do the news
didn't he
and he did the news in Yorkshire
he was like
our kind of
what's he called
do they have warm I'm sure someone told me.
Jonathan Mayer was doing warm up for that for a while.
Yeah, Lou did it for ages,
but they haven't got an audience since COVID.
Right.
I don't think it needs an audience, except when they go,
has anybody not got the conundrum?
They should turn it on the crowd, didn't they?
I'd love to see Jonathan Mayer, by the way,
in an audience and Nana's say the words,
I can feel a bisexual coming on.
With three old women on the front row have you ever done warm-up yeah yeah got one didn't you i did uh oh you don't remember
got one's uh dressing for summer
what i learned is it's all about the confidence
because he fucking
reiterated that
a fair few times
that's the one where
the producer
I remember you leaving an agent
because of warm up
yeah
yeah
oh shit
oh
well I've only ever had one agent
so I know where this is going
I remember your agent
just going
you're going doing this
and you're just like
this is not where
so we do not want to talk about that.
No, it's funny.
It was funny.
You said, what do you think about this?
And I went, you shouldn't be doing that, mate.
The best warmer ever did was for John Bishop
when I think you were on it.
Do you remember?
Only joke.
It was the only joke in.
I'm sure you did it.
No, I didn't do it, no.
I was a program associate, I think.
Mick was on it it but he was usually
his warm up
so I got Monday
Tuesday Wednesday
for whatever reason
there was a break on Thursday
and it went so well
I got a phone call
on the Thursday
that agent Lee
got a phone call on Thursday
going hey we're going to
stick him on
and that was amazing
John Bishop's crowd
all dead sound
they're all there
to see stand up
they're also not
Stuart Lee type fans
where you're like yeah I like comedy but it has to be a certain type of comedy they're all there to see stand up they're also not stewart lee type fans where you're like
yeah i like comedy but it has to be a certain type of comedy they're just up for it and then
on the other side of that pappy's fun club warm up for pappy's fun club in glasgow i've never died
on my hoop for so long i bet the problem died as well when the floor manager went, Dan, keep talking.
I did.
How bad must things have to be for you to stop talking? I was on the third stage.
I was trying to predict when there was a break.
I was like, these cunts are going to start again in a second.
I'm not starting something.
So I pause for too long.
Dan, keep talking.
I've done a few and I've done quite a few in the like
10 years ago
I was trying to write
I wrote
sitcom for Radio 4
two seasons on Radio 4
and then we got the
we think this could be
on BBC One
and I was thinking
all the time
I don't think so
because it's me
because you never think
it's going to be
you know what I mean
so we wrote this sitcom
for BBC One
and we had Maureen Lippman
in it
we had Patrick Ballardy
out of the office
you know the guy
from the office who plays
the manager of the Swindon branch, you know.
Really good fun. We made this sitcom. We really
loved it. And we knew
it wasn't going to get commissioned when the
commission editor left before we performed.
So I'd done all these
warm-ups. I'd been on these different shows. I got
sacked off Porridge after one episode
I got paid off for the series.
Why? You were on porridge?
No, when porridge came back. It was the warm-up.
Not the original.
I was going to say.
How old did you go out?
Not for the hit replacement, but I'm not that fucking old.
I used to be Charlie Chapman's opener.
Charlie Chapman?
Great player.
Great player.
Charlie Chapman.
I think he played for Tottenham in the 60s
so I did these
warps for porridge yeah so
I loved it really good fun
because it's like doing
350 people in Salford
like and it's me doing stand up
and I'm pretty good at it
and they're sort of my kind of crowd
but it was almost too good
for the show.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was doing too,
I mean, that sounds like,
no, the analogy is,
your managers fluff them,
not make them come.
Yeah.
And it's not,
you can't help it.
I can't help it.
There's jizz everywhere.
It's a justice show.
You know, it's like,
the thing about,
you can't be that close
to humble brags,
by the way.
But it's that thing
about our game, isn't it?
Is that,
I hate that kind of,
I think when you're
on a mixed lineup on a comedy lineup and the cup everyone's got to go and smash it yeah i love it
people just go oh i'll never follow terry olsen or i could never go on after adam rowe everything
i'd say it's fucking great because they lift it up there and you've got to get up there and that's
how you'd approach every game so i wouldn't do it you've had that as a compare though like people
used to i don't know how aware you are of it but like there was the sort of attitude towards like the compare shouldn't do that well at clubs
yeah paul smith used to get it loads this is long before he became paul smith like i'm talking when
we were in like the crown pub paul used to like bits in the middle yeah and like the comics who
were getting you know they were sort of like newer acts getting like 30 and 50 quid and whatever
and they just couldn't follow him people like he shouldn't be doing that well compa and it's like that's absolutely not his responsibility
it's your responsibility to follow it never seen a great comic whinge about that no totally but it's
it's the only thing i've ever heard anyone be critical of your compa is that it was too funny
and that there's other compares i've heard other
like that other people are better compers
because they don't smash it as much,
but they set the room up.
They're not compers, but they make the night...
Do you know what I mean?
I hate this phrase when they go,
he's not even done the rules.
What do you mean the rules?
He's made people laugh and he's got the audience...
Your job is to warm up, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My favourite one I did, I did Citizen Khan.
Do you remember that show?
I did the first one, I came home and I went,
that show is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
I've never seen anything as funny in my life in the room.
And I don't know why people didn't love it
as much as it was when it was on television.
Hang on, were these the live shows?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no.
They're live recording.
Oh, right, okay.
So it was filmed in front of an audience.
And on the night, it was brilliant.
But the audience was mixed.
So it was a half white audience
half brown audience
so I was having fun with them
by the time of the third week
they were bringing me samosas
and everything
I was like
getting right in there
I was like the Desi warm up
that's what they were calling me
they've accepted you
as one of their own there
and then you say to the audience
they say
just so you know
I said don't want this to be weird
but when we do do scenes
in the mosque
if you could remove your shoes
and all the white people were taking their shoes off justin this is a compliment
but i don't want it to to say like i don't want to never start with this is a compliment i don't
want to sound like it i'm trying to like paint you as a jack-of-all-trades because you fucking smash
but you are so good at going this is this crowd i'm gonna
i'm gonna smash it you can change gear to there's not many comics can can fucking hump saturday
night the frog or like saturday night at rawhide and then go and do edinburgh and then just like
you've said play a half asian half white like tv warm-up gig you're so good and i always admired
that when i was getting going i was like i want to be employable i don't want to be one of those
comics like ah they didn't get me because this is this is just me so they don't get me i like
being a comic who's like cool i'm gonna meet you halfway and adapt to that you're unbelievable i
don't even meet him halfway i head them off at the pass. People are always looking for an audience.
I need to find my audience.
No, you don't.
You need to find your voice.
And then you need to...
I've got this big thing in comedy where I think,
if you think something's funny, right?
If in your head, you write a joke and you go, that's funny.
In my opinion, without any shadow of a doubt,
for as long as time lasts, it's funny.
It's your job to convince the audience it's funny
that's all it is yeah once you've written and it's funny it's funny that's it there's funny there
you're just not selling it well you're just not and you just gotta do different things for
different audiences and i think i think it's i think i spent about 10 years being a comic
and in that time i was doing loads of radio and different things and i took my eye off the ball
and i wasn't doing it and And then one day I just went.
I remember it.
Yeah.
I remember it.
Like, I remember you coming back because you were earning good money
and you were working every morning.
And I remember gigging with you and going, oh, it's interesting.
Yeah.
Because Justin is, you were at like 70% of what you were.
Yeah, yeah.
And I remember we had a chat about it.
And I came home and I just went, I can't do it.
Within about two years you quit and I gigged with you and i was like yeah there you go
we talked about this before though any sort of success whether it's you know like sort of the
extracurricular stuff you do as a stand-up like radio or hosting tv and it can even be getting a
big stand-up fan base makes a lot of comics worse it makes them lazy they end up performing to just
their own crowd.
They never test it in front of as new a crowd
as they can possibly get to.
And it's very easy to go,
I want a good bit of money now
and I can just fucking phone this in and it'd be fine.
It takes a lot of work once you're doing well as a comic
to stay as good.
And it takes even more work to get even better.
And I think the only way you can really do it
is by staying in and going back to comedy clubs.
But when you're earning a chunk of money
and you have to be in a studio at half four in the morning
and you're there till 10 and then you've got a nap
and then where's your life?
That's it.
Like breakfast radio will fuck up your standup, won't it?
But when you're 75, yeah, and you look back on your life,
no one's ever going to go,
oh, he did the best traffic and
travel i've ever heard you did by the way but if somebody goes like like the other day i saw
something and this is so pathetic but cochran right cochran who's a comic that i admire
retweeted something of mine that i was doing and he just said all that just and stuff he's one of
the most quotable and i went went, oh, I like that.
I like that people who I admire think that I'm quotable
or I've got those things.
And what drives me forward,
and I've said this to both of you,
and you're at the same position, you two,
because I don't know if you notice,
people listening and watching this,
these are fucking loaded.
You have created such fucking ego monsters, right?
And it's a good job that you've had people like me go
before you made the mistakes and stopped doing stand-up
because you're both carrying on doing it, aren't you?
Because you love it.
I'm obsessed with it.
Like, I stopped touring a month ago, like five weeks ago now.
And we were in London last week for some filming for this.
So you managed three weeks off.
Yeah, three weeks off.
We had the nights free.
So I just popped into a couple of the comedy clubs and did 10 and then this weekend i i was just off like in doing this all week i go away next week
uh for like a proper holiday and i just had this weekend off i was like i don't know what i'm gonna
do and then simon from the comedy store sent an email blast out going we need someone for the
weekend and i was like i'm just gonna fucking go and so i didn't get it so i didn't get it simon
i went to tokyo with joel dominant before he was famous and we did some gigs like that's Is that why I didn't get it? Is that why I didn't get it, Simon?
I went to Tokyo with Joel Dominic before he was famous and we did some gigs.
That's an Arctic Monkey song.
That's an Arctic Monkey song, isn't it?
I'm just...
All right.
What did I say before?
Anything that sounds like an Arctic Monkey song.
So me and Joel went to Tokyo to do these gigs
and they were like really fun gigs and everything else,
but we had a day off and we went and did open spots at the Tokyo Comedy Club yeah fucking brilliant
fucking sure yeah was that the most fun of the trip though like yeah yeah we had we bought our
souvenirs and told them the audience and everything else and also the Tokyo amateur comedy scene isn't
that very good so we absolutely smashed it when we were in Berlin for Paul Smith's stag do,
we were away from them for this bit,
but some of them found a comedy club and they went in
and Freddie and Paul got on and Freddie smashed it
and Paul died on his ass.
I bet Freddie's not mentioned that, has he?
They call quotch or something that comedy club.
No, I can't remember what it was.
It wasn't
cosmic comedy because that was the one we tried to get into but they said you're all too drunk
and it's a stag do some now which is fair enough yeah have you ever done gigs abroad where have
you done i've done some european ones in september the start of this tour they were fun different
slower pace very sort of challenging to slow my voice down a lot done quite a bit of uh stuff in new york just
in the clubs and then dubai yeah about to announce australia you do you do you do you smash australia
i'm really excited i love australia i've done it twice like one of the best places to do comedy
ever it's just never been at all but september this year it looks like we're gonna do a week
about five shows i think and this might sound, I think we're just a bit ahead.
You know, like, America's a bit ahead of us
in terms of stand-up.
Yeah.
I think we're a bit ahead of Australia.
So we've got a little bit of an advantage when we go there
and we can do well there.
But it's brilliant.
They love comedy as well.
They really appreciate it and take it seriously.
Yeah, you'll love it.
So it's like a run of festivals out there.
Because I know New Zealand sort of bookends it, doesn't it?
Yeah.
But is it like Perth, Adelaide?
I don't know.
I've only done Melbourne.
And then I did a tour.
I did the Melbourne Comedy Roadshow.
But I did Western Australia right up the coast.
Oh, nice.
That was amazing, yeah.
But they're all February to May.
And then New Zealand's May, yeah.
I'm going to go in September and just do one-off shows.
I'm not going to do...
I don't want to be away for...
Spring, you'll be going in spring,
then it'll be nice, that.
I think it is spring, yeah.
It's the other way around, isn't it?
Bloody bonkers.
That comedy roadshow thing is,
I'd fucking love that.
Not that I wouldn't love doing the festivals,
quality,
but to be like,
hey, do you want to stick around
for three weeks afterwards?
We're getting a van.
Get a van.
And we're going to go up to
middle of fucking nowhere
on the
on the east coast of australia yeah well west coast west coast you get out you get out your
hotel right and it go turn left onto i1 the sat nav ago you go go under 400 kilometers turn left
you have arrived that's all it was next town went to all these like mining towns like like little
ports and everything very industrial where it's was fucking brilliant. You know Ronnie Cheng?
Yeah.
He was on the tour with us.
Oh, wow.
And Nicky Britton and me and Dave Callan.
And God, I forgot his name, Australian guy.
He doesn't come over here very often.
Forgot his name.
Oh, that's going to look shit when this comes out, isn't it?
But when people go, oh, I'm on tour, like I remember hearing that
and going, ah, it must be cool.
It must be like the bus in Almost Famous.
Yeah.
And actually, it's just, you know, gigs, isn't it?
Yeah, you do go on the road a little bit.
So if you're doing like Cardiff and Bristol,
but that's just like it was on the circuit.
Do you think that when you're on tour,
like I bet some people say to you, don't they, Adam?
They go, oh, but you're knackered out.
You've been on tour for so long.
You go, it's probably easier than doing what I normally do
because I've planned I'm going to go there, there, and there, normally do because I planned I'm going to go there there and there
and then come home
I'm going to go there
and then come home
but when you
I found
I did find it
easier doing club weekends
where you're
like
where you're in sort of
Birmingham for three days
and you're not checking in
and out of hotels
and you just
you've got a base
for three days
I did find that
a little bit easier
than Birmingham
Nottingham
Leicester
Soundcheck and constant soundcheck the tour we've just done was class did you do soundcheck I did find that a little bit easier than Birmingham, Nottingham, Leicester, somewhere else in the Patee time as well.
And constant soundchecks.
The tour we've just done was class.
Did you do a soundcheck?
Jack done a lot of them for me.
What do you do in a soundcheck when you're standing?
I don't even know what to do.
I've been doing this 25 years.
Got to practice the intro and outro, otherwise someone's like,
I'll just keep hitting buttons.
I don't know.
Genuinely, they go, and I go, hello, hello, hello.
Sounds good to me.
And they go, yeah, sounds good to me. And I go,
glad I got here an hour and a half fucking early.
On the tour,
I had like a specific walk on and walk off.
But it's literally, could you just
fade that out, pause it, and then slide it back up?
And most places
were fine at it. About
20% were just like, that's dead simple, like
it should be for everyone.
Some of the places places it's like you
were asking them to do like rhythmic gymnastics they're like i've just never done this before
it took an hour and a half to practice that walk on in glasgow and we had to open the venue like
because someone just couldn't work the sound desk it was absolutely insane but uh yeah i'd love a
minibus and then just go the north coast of Scotland or something do you remember what Billy Connolly used to do on a trike
when he'd be like I'm going to go on a road trip
to the fucking middle of nowhere
so he's turning up in little towns and villages
and they're like class
I would love to take three or four of us
she's doing that in Ireland
just going to every small little village
who's that?
John Bishop
he told me the other day
he said he was doing like
drum 3d village hall or something like drug heater something the smallest place no southwest
oh right okay so and he said um he goes he said he got a phone call from rupeel saying could he
host the thing at arena for jr and clop to do the thing and he phoned the village all he went is it
all right rearrange and the vote went he goes yeah what's up and John goes
do we need to do anything
he goes
no I'll just tell everybody
he couldn't do it on Tuesday
because he got yoga
but he could get in
the next Wednesday
that's absolutely
I got
last tour I did
I started off
and I got a camper van
got a camper van
and I was doing it all
and then after about four days
realised it's pointless
because you can't
you know you go on camping sites
you can't drive it on and off after like nine o'clock
because you're disturbing everybody.
So you have to get an Uber from a fucking campsite.
I slept in a car park in Aberdeen, which was horrible.
And that's you.
Having a pee in a kind of McDonald's cup.
And then I slept in, do you know, have you ever done Maidenhead,
Northern Farm?
Yeah.
That was great.
I slept in their car park.
But then after that
I just binned it off
premiered in
just on your own
in a campervan
yeah
yes
it's not as fun as it
it just looks like
post-divorce breakdown
I'm doing
I'm fine
I just realised that now
that is exactly what it is
yeah
I
yeah
the foreign gigs
the idea of doing that
like we've got plans
for next year
we're doing a package show and. Like we've got plans for next year.
We're doing a package show and like we've got some.
Good question.
A package show.
Oh God, I thought you had gone really, really racist.
With Ishan.
Jesus Christ, honestly, I just, I genuinely,
I genuinely, this is not me trying to make a joke.
I just thought, is he being like dead, like brave and like.
Do you know what's really funny?
This is a callback.
Every single time he says the word package,
we all do exactly what you've just done,
but we're actually joking.
But you've just done it and actually meant it. Sounded it.
I really need to change how I'm saying package.
Yeah, because you, you say pack dead loud and then you throw
the rest of it away
you go package
yeah you're too smooth at the end
package
no
it sounds like you're trying to say that word
pookage
just say package
I had a bit of stank on it
how long have you been going, Justin?
25 years this year.
25 years this year.
Quarter of a century.
Yeah, 25 years.
1999, I was driving my car down the street.
I used to be driving my car down the street.
Driving my car down the road.
I was a salesman for a transport company.
I was listening to Five Live and it was a comedian.
I can't remember who it was.
I said, I love comedy.
I used to go to Frog all the time. I used i saw i love comedy i used to go to frog all
the time used to watch i used to go to frog and used to go to southern which was the agramans
buzz club oh yeah and i've seen some like i used to be a little bit of a of a johnny vegas groupie
like whenever he would pop up and i'd look in the listings and see when to be on and i loved it and
they're like in those days johnny would do clubs and they would be like events yeah potter's wheel
stuff and all that and he'd be doing stuff.
And then as I thought to myself, I went, I'm funny.
I could be funny.
And I was quite old.
I was like 28, 29.
But I could do that.
So I phoned the frog up, literally phoned the frog up and went,
how would you become a comedian?
And he went, we have this thing on a Monday night.
And he put me in for two weeks later, went down.
And Monday nights then now
it's beat the frog in it what you invented where it's like a competition then it was this red raw

Rowan Aguilarta
oh yeah

I've ever heard
from a comedian
who's not going anymore
sorry
second best joke

my favourite one is
nobody knows who this girl is
and I love this joke
and she's dead man a bit like Rachel Fairburn kind of-esque and she goes I was walking who this girl is, and I love this joke, and she's dead man,
a bit like Rachel Fairburn kind of-esque, and she goes,
I was walking down the street, you know,
and I went past one of them mosques,
and I thought, I want to have a look in that mosque
because it's in my community.
So I go in the mosque, I open the doors,
and just loads of shoes in the lobby.
I thought, what's going on here?
Open the next doors, massive bouncy castle.
What's going on here?
Open the next doors.
Massive bouncy castle.
And that was an open spot I saw about 20 years ago and I don't know who it was, but it's absolutely brilliant.
I love that joke so much.
And Rowan's was Cyclops and the Unicorn meet.
There's an accident waiting to happen.
Rohan Agarawata.
Yeah, yeah.
There's a fucking name
I'm not going to...
Jim Jefferies, who...
He was on
and Don Ward
from the comedy store
came in to see us
to watch the show
and he absolutely
shits himself.
He hated it.
He just crumbled
because he wanted
to get in at the store.
Jim Jefferies wanted
to get in at the store.
The fear, Don,
to this day
strikes into people as...
And he knows it.
It's class.
And he likes it. It's class. And he likes it.
It's horrible, isn't it?
It is horrible.
You heard that story about the American guy goes in the comedy store,
he goes, I'm going to fucking smash this place up.
I'm going to fucking rip the fucking roof off this place.
And he goes on and he does all right.
Don walks back in the dressing room and goes,
see, we don't have to get the builders in.
Or the comic, you know, have you ever done the comedy store
when there's a comic doing a Thursday night and they're like an established comic, you know, have you ever done the comedy store when there's a comic doing a Thursday night
and they're like an established comic,
but they're just doing a Thursday because they've not been in.
Yeah, they're just getting their first look.
No, they're getting their second chance.
Oh, right, okay.
Have you ever seen that?
Oh, it's...
Can you imagine that?
Okay, we've stopped using you,
but here's your second chance.
They're doing a Thursday.
Five years later.
Yeah.
Hey, John Don come on
you used to have some great times
here in the late 90s
and he goes back in
and this comic goes
the comic goes on
and apparently
apparently
he'd been slagging the club off
and Don off
and all that
and Don had got wind of it
so they said to him
do you not want him to do it
he goes no no no
bring him along
bring him along
and he goes on
and he smashes the gig
Don goes very good very good I've seen your phrase very him along. And he goes on and he smashes the gig.
Don goes, very good, very good, not seen phrase,
very, very, very good.
And he goes, have you got your diary?
And he goes, yeah, he gets his diary.
Don takes off, puts him in the bin.
He goes, you won't be needing that tonight.
It's fucking ice.
Horrible. He said to Pete Otway, didn't he,
this is the Premier League of Comedy
and you're the conference player.
And that was after his like seventh open spot.
He said to Mick Ferrett the first time he did it,
stop talking to the audience, we've got enough compares.
Wow.
Yeah, but then Mick, yeah, I don't know.
I think it's a rite of passage, isn't it?
I suppose you want to impress him, I don't know.
He showed me his diary and asked me
who I'd replace for the next few weeks.
And I didn't even look at it.
And I said, anyone who hasn't got a guitar.
Did you? And he just laughed. I love that. So who would I replace on the board few weeks. And I didn't even look at it and I said, anyone who hasn't got a guitar? Did you?
And he just laughed.
I love that.
So who would I replace on the board?
And people have gone, him.
Because that person's so...
Justin?
Shit.
He's got a radio job.
What's he even here for?
I'm 14 years today.
Oh, happy birthday.
Happy birthday, mate.
Sunday the 27th of June, 2010 since lampard scored that goal that
didn't go in yeah i tell you the first time i ever heard of you sure this is a great story right
okay this is not going to be a good story no it's a nice story oh is it yeah so fucking
this must have been five years in that about a year or two in right you were down in london
doing some gigs and um you went on the sunday or the saturday to go and watch steve ribbons band
oh shit yeah yeah steve ribbons next time i saw him he goes do you know this young comic from
liverpool adam rowe i said no i said i don't i don't know him i said i've heard the name
he goes i've not seen him do stand up he said but he's going to go far
I said why
he went
keen as fuck
so
yeah
keen as fuck
that's what he said
so when I first started
going to London
obviously you're doing
a lot of either
poorly paid
or completely unpaid spots
yeah
and one of my mates
Johnny
Johnny Schumacher
he used to live in Brochley
so sort of just north of like Fodderstale.
That's where you go.
They're down there, aren't they?
And I used to stay with him.
And every year they have the Broccoli Festival.
I loved Broccoli.
It was really rough, but it like reminded me of home.
It's like the right kind of rough where it's like,
people are fucking punching your head in,
but only if you're doing something wrong.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah.
That's nice.
That sort of place.
It's the Britain we all want.
Yeah. From July the 4th. And I mean? Yeah, yeah. It's nice. That sort of place. It's the Britain we all want. Yeah.
From July the 4th.
And I was...
Cuba.
I was staying with Johnny,
and he's like,
oh, the Broccoli Festival's on this weekend.
You should go and have a look at some of the stuff.
And I knew who Steve Gribben was,
because, you know,
as well as doing gigs,
I sort of started reading up on people
and looking at lineups in the store
and rawhide and whatever at the time.
Because you're super keen.
Oh, totally.
And I get to the...
Keen as fuck.
I get to this Broccoli Festival, and Steve gribbon and his band are just playing and i was like that's fucking
steve gribbon and then he stops and he's doing like the sorts of intros the next song and he's
got like his softened scouse accent it's fucking steve gribbon so when they took a break i went
over and introduced myself and just like said hello and that's where that's where i met steve
yeah that's so much you say i'm a comedian i think i said i i'm down here doing gigs i'm doing like open spot
i think i was down there doing open spot for junglers maybe yeah i'm doing open spot for
junglers like um maybe maybe i was even doing 10 or 5 or 10 at the store i don't know but uh
that's what he said he wasn't i told you it was a good story it wasn't he wasn't uncomplimentary
it was a very you know it was a complimentary thing. It wasn't uncomplimentary. It was a very, you know, it was a complimentary thing. I mean, there are many other stories of what people said about you
that would be horrible, but, you know, you know them.
I know all of them, yeah.
Because you win them.
Yeah, I'm in them.
They happen.
And do you know what?
If you just see it from my perspective, I was always sound.
A young Adam Rowe could never be accused of not fucking trying.
No.
You were on it early, pushing.
It's like I have everything isn't it it's like
right i like this thing so i want to be good at it and i'm focusing on nothing else and there's
nothing i was nothing wrong you know there's nothing wrong with that at all there's nothing
wrong with that at all it's just that you were young and hungry and vicious and and i think
sometimes it comes across when people are complacent as being not arrogant but a bit cocky
but that's what you but that's what you are totally and i always i always saw it as like
the only people who ever seemed bothered by it properly were people who didn't have that in them
and i think they were sort of being like oh you can't do that you can't promote yourself like
that because i'm not doing that and you're gonna jump ahead of me that's not okay and then the
people who like i always posted my gigs from doing open spots i'd like tweet or put on facebook like
here's my gigs for the next two weeks people would be like who gives a fuck mate you're doing five
and ten minutes and i was like doesn't matter to me and now it's the norm it's the norm and people
who used to slag it off and i'm like how do i do this i don't suck me gucci people just slag you
off if you retweeted praise.
Yeah.
And then Sarah Milken
said to me,
she went,
if someone unfollows you
on Twitter
because you've tweeted
that you've had a good gig
and people liked it,
she went,
they were never going to
come and see you anyway.
Fuck them.
Doesn't matter.
They're not real people.
So I used to be dead close
with Danny Mac.
One time I retweeted praise,
he messaged me to go,
oh,
are we retweeting praise?
I was like, fucking hell.
I'm getting policed by Danny Mac.
And now-
We all get policed by Danny Mac.
But the culture's changed.
Now even Danny goes,
oh yeah, you've got to self-promote.
Yeah, you've got to.
You've got to.
I did a new material last night in Hot Water
and there was a kid who just-
How'd it go?
I smashed it, mate.
All of it.
Not every single last syllable.
And they would run out.
I was trying to drive home
and they were throwing themselves on the car,
you know, like they were trying to leave a warrant.
Come back!
Was it a half Asian crowd, though?
It was a half, yeah.
Half Asians.
My people.
But the good thing was,
like, they'd done the package right.
So they made sure the Asians were on one side
and the non-Asians were on the other side.
Like a mixed race wedding.
How do you like it?
Shaky booking.
What do you want to talk to me about?
Can I talk about my special?
You can talk about your special.
Oh, yeah, man.
That's why I'm here.
Yeah?
I love the candidness. No one's ever done that You can talk about your special. Oh, yeah, man. That's why I'm here. Yeah? I love the candidness.
No one's ever done that.
Tell us about your special,
filmed, produced by our wonderful Will Hutchby,
who is behind the movable camera right there.
So, filmed in Prescott at the Shakespeare North.
Got to be the first stand-up special ever filmed in Prescott.
Got to be.

Did he? Prick. He didn't do a special. No, be. I think Russell Kane did, didn't he? Did he?
Prick.
What?
He didn't do a special.
No, he just did some standardly.
Oh, that doesn't count.
No, but his first special to be filmed there
is unbelievable.
It was so good.
It's a mock-up of the globe, isn't it?
It's a mini globe, yeah.
And you can do it in the round.
We sort of did it in the kind of
sixth, eighth of the round.
He's very good at what he does, as you know,
because you both use him. Show went really good on the night um like you'll see clips as they come

So it's rolling and everything else, but he doesn't stop.
So you'll be acting and improvising, do a bit of improvising, and he'll walk into the scene and tell you what to do and then walk back out and
it's really kind of strange but there's a scene where we're all sat in there if you've seen a film
we're all postman and we're all trying to do some like meditation and mindfulness
and we're all doing this stuff and he goes right it's very important this scene and he's giving us

I've got a caller here
coming in from
Weatherfield County,
big county fan.
What are you saying, Chesney?
Little chat.
And then about 10 years ago,
with,
this is the connection
we have with Les,
Dennis,
I played the landlord
of the flying horse
which is the
the what
the flying horse
no no
Illuminati shit
Les Dennis
worked in the flying horse
is that true
no no I was the landlord
of the flying horse
no but why was Les involved
with the horse
I don't know
oh I thought Les
because Les has been in Coney, hasn't he?
Yeah.
Right.
Unbelievable.
That is serendipity.
Yeah.
Yeah?
Yeah.
And it's absolute violence.
And you're the vimtoed?
That's unbelievable.
So I played the landlord of the flying horse
and we challenged the Rovers cricket team
to a cricket match.
And what was up for grabs
was my classic Space Invaders machine.
And what I won from them if I was one
was Betty's hot pot recipe.
Did you win?
Spoilers, in case anyone's not caught up yet.
Imagine if we got an email.
We lost.
But the best thing was, right?
The best thing was,
in the script, right right it's got this
bit where we're doing this thing and he goes yeah should be good in the next bit because uh
he goes they've got they've got a keen players coming on apparently his mum used to go around
the west indies and she used to uh she used to hang around the west indies cricket team
and uh some may say she had a dalliance or two with the master blaster which is a very
famous
Beijing cricket player
and I went
to the director I went
you know that would mean that one of our players
would be mixed race
I had to bring a mixed race player in to play to match the joke.
No one had spotted in the script, I'm the king of continuity.
That's what people say about you.
The king of continuity, yeah.
By the way, it'd be really funny now if you'd shot that special twice
and you just got a different shirt on after claiming yourself
as the king of
continuity um break time yeah go and watch justin special it'll be class stretch and think on youtube
here we go ladies and gentlemen part four of four did it for you mate there you go all right
let's round this off so I can get to London and celebrate
me gig of history
with a gig.
Justin,
my old friend.
Room 102
is a brand new feature
we thought of
and conceived of completely.
Yep.
No IP going anywhere else.
Very similar
to the TV show
Room 101.
Oh, yeah, I forgot.
They don't own
Room 101, though. You know this, don't you? No, they don't. You do I forgot. They don't own Room 101 though,
you know this, don't you?
No, they don't.
You do know this.
They cannot own that.
No, we just,
we went off on a,
we went off on a spiral
one episode, Justin.
Do you know what
Room 101 is?
No.
Room 101 was the room
in 1984,
in George Orwell's 1984
where everything
that will kill you
and the worst of everything
is in that room.
We're not very well read.
No.
Oh, yeah.
I've read most of Jamie Carragher's autobiography.
All well.
Yes.
Most of it.
The Big Brother one.
What would you like to go in Room 102?
Well, I've got, like, every day.
There's different ones every day.
Currently, at the moment, my bête noire
is people telling me what their dreams were,
which I appreciate is a kind of well-trodden path.
But I've thought about it long and hard.
I'm sick of fucking people telling me I had a dream.
Like, unless you're Martin Luther King,
couldn't give a fuck.
Right.
So you're okay with people telling you their aspirations,
those type of dreams?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not what they dreamt about. What they dreamt about. Oh, I'd like to hear what you're manifesting people telling you their aspirations, those type of things? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not what they dreamt about.
What they dreamt about.
Oh, I'd like to hear what you're manifesting.
I'm fucking up for that.
I'd like to hear what you're, like, I'm manifesting myself an S Club.
An S Club?
S Club.
S Club reunion.
Try harder.
I'm manifesting an S Class Mercedes.
That's what I want.
Bring Paul back from the den.
I want that.
That's what I want.
I can do that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I want a Ford Bronco. Not for the OG reasons, just because they look cool. OG. Yeah. But I. I want that. That's what I want. I can do that. Yeah. Yeah. I want a Ford Bronco.
Not for the OG reasons,
just because they look cool.
OG.
But I'm manifesting that.
If it's good enough for,
you know,
it's good enough for what's he called?
Noel Edmonds.
It's good enough for me.
I'm manifesting it.
Written down on a piece of paper.
But people who say,
right,
people go,
oh,
this really weird dream last night.
Of course you did.
It's a fucking dream.
They never,
like no one goes,
I had a really ordinary dream.
I went to the shop, I bought an egg custard
and then I had a walk in the park. No.
And I'll tell you why these dream
stories are boring. Because no one's
ever told one second hand.
No one's ever told you their dream and then
you've got home from work and went, oh, Julie had a smart
dream today. Hang on, finish it. I'm just going to ring
Tony. Tony, stop
what you're doing.
My missus has had the best dream you want to say that similar to uh like here's the thing everybody
knows what they would have been called if they were a girl or a boy no one else needs to know
it's not an interesting enough conversation i was called a girl's name because mum was that
fucked on the drugs i was a girl for six hours i was called lisa for the first six hours of my life lisa as well he's a crack he's a crack baby
yes i did have a boring dream once that was so dull it was noteworthy yeah i was on cocodamol
and i went to sleep you would tell me a dream story no but the whole eight hours was me working
an eight hour shift at frankie Benny's that buzzed my head in
it was so drawn out
I knew the people
we ran out of calamari
and in my dream I felt a bit stressed
oh shit calamari is a really popular starter
I've never had such a
unbelievable dream
I woke up and went oh shit I don't work at frankie and benny do you dream a lot
yeah but the usual random tombola of anxiety mental
do you know what common dream for me is right i'm not doing but i commonly dream and it wakes me up
that i'm driving pissed out my head and i'm about to plow into like loads of people and that
right i know what you mean. Yeah. Yeah.
Are you sure you're not just drunk imagining that?
I don't even drink.
I don't even drink.
So like,
just like,
oh,
getting behind the wheel.
Fuck it.
I laugh.
You've had the dream as a comedian where in your dream,
someone's like,
hey,
your stage time's in 15 minutes.
But within the dream,
you haven't got any material.
Yeah.
Yeah. Like I've had that weird anxiety where I'm like,
oh, I don't know
what my jokes are
you're like
in real life
you defo do
for some reason
that's playing on my mind
it's anxiety isn't it
yeah
it's because
you spent a lot of years
as a compere probably
like
you didn't have any jokes
you're internalising
people trying to
book you as a compere
and he's got no jokes
he's shite
you should do the comedy
you know what this is worse than the nightmare if you've ever worked in hospitality you've done it trying to book you as a compere. Oh, and he's got no jokes. He's shite. You should do the comedy.
You know what?
This is worse than the nightmare.
If you've ever worked in hospitality,
you've done it.
If you finish a big shift,
you very commonly go to sleep and you're still there.
I had it constantly when I worked at McDonald's.
I'd just wake up and I'd just,
I'd have to go to work,
but I've just been to work.
I've got the mental strain of just being in work
and now I've got to go and do it again.
So you used to worry about working at McDonald's. When I was on the radio, I used to worry that I was putting the mental strain of just being in work and now I've got to go and do it again so you used to worry about working at McDonald's
when I was on the radio I used to worry that I was putting the wrong faders up
and saying the wrong thing and in the wrong traffic and travel
and all that, imagine if you're a heart surgeon
how horrific are them dreams
I've fucking put the wrong ventricle in
I wasn't worried
these weren't like anxiety dreams
this is why you never lasted at McDonald's
this is why I never lasted
you didn't care enough apart from when someone goes hey i had a
mental dream and you're like oh yeah you'll never believe what you were doing in it and then
everyone's ego goes all right go on tell me have you ever had a very very graphic sex dream
and i'm not gonna ask you the details that you couldn't tell anybody. Have you ever woke up ashamed?
I mean, I've never woke up ashamed.

Sometimes I can't look at my phone for a couple of hours
because of the porn I've just been watching
because it's, like, depraved.
In your dream?
No, in real life.
Oh, right.

thanks very much
thank you

I was telling this story
yesterday I went to the Embassy Club Bernard Man. It is. I was telling this story yesterday.
I went to the Embassy Club,
Bernard Manning's Club,
when I was younger.
It was awful.
I would have loved to go.
I don't know why I didn't.
I had chance.
Did you ever work it when Smug ran it?
No, I heard Manford did it.
It was horrible.
But we went to this club
and there was waiters in white coats.
There was about 18 of us.
And they come over and they were like, dead fucking hard.
It's like, you know, they go, right, lads, what are you fucking having?
That's the customer service.
And we go, oh, we'll have 14 lagers, three bitters.
Why are we talking like that?
Two-siders.
Why was I talking like that?
Because we were frightened of them.
Because they were like, they were from the rough end of town.
So 14 lagers, three bitters and two-siders.
All right. And you give them money, he comes back. Say, sameagers, three bitters and two siders. All right.
And you're giving them money, he comes back.
Say him again, lads.
Yeah, say him again.
Third time he came back, he went, can we have 30?
And he went, don't fuck me about.
OK, we'll just have what we were having.
You're still driving, Dave, no matter what you said.
The legendary Embassy Club.
Did you play it?
Just up the road.
When Smug took it over, like after Bernard gave it up,
he wasn't dead. I played it a few times for Smug took it over, like after Bernard gave it up, he wasn't dead.
I played it a few times for Smug
and it was like,
but there was coach loads of people coming
thinking it was the Bernard Manning show.
Yeah.
And then we were going on going,
have you ever noticed dog shit?
It was a bit weird.
Tony Skip was on.
Do you remember Tony Skip?
No.
Tony Skip had one of the best jokes I've ever heard.
He used to say,
I was on the bus with the bus pass
and the ticket inspector comes on and he goes,
tickets, please, tickets, please.
He goes, and I give him the mega ride off.
And he goes, hey, this is six months out of date.
Like I was going to fucking eat it.
And Tony Skip was comparing,
Tony Skip once compared a Monday night at the Frog Room,
it was dead quiet, you you know and somebody told him
just get going in the room
just chat to people
ask them the name
and where they're from
he did it with everybody
just ask them the name
and where they're from
it was like a performance
piece of work
what's your name?
Tony where you from?
Swinton
nice to meet you Tony
what are you called?
some of my early
comparing now
fucking brilliant
all night just doing that
anyway so he was comparing
and he said where you lads from and he went York she went it's fucking shit Some of my early comparing now. Fucking brilliant all night just doing that. Anyway, so he was comparing.
And he said, where are you lads from?
And he went, Yorkshire. He went, it's fucking shit.
And this is like full.
And half the audience started up.
It's like, Yorkshire, Yorkshire.
And I'm on the back.
And when I was doing a character I used to do,
waiting to go on as a character.
What character did you?
I used to do Derek Randall,
the failed insurance salesman from Ashland Underline.
It's a bit on the nose. Because you were a salesman. But I was a failed insurance salesman from Ashton Underline. It's a bit on the nose.
Because you were a salesman.
But I was a failed insurance salesman.
Oh, it's very different.
The last time I ever did it was when I died on my arse
on Millennium Eve at Just the Tonic.
And that's when the character went.
Yeah.
Character went that day.
At that time, were you doing Justin and that?
You were doing both?
So famously, Silky bought me for stamps in Crosby once.
I did the whole show.
Myself and...
By the way...
It's only you and Tom Baines.
By the way, there were lots in common, you and him.
There were a lot more character acts.
Both worked on the radio.
Yeah.
And paedophiles.
There you go.
I couldn't...
I'll be honest with you, right?
Guess what's getting cut out.
No, no, no, I don't mind. I'd rather this goes out with me saying I'm right? Guess what's getting cut out? No, no, no.
I don't mind.
I'd rather this goes out with me saying I'm a paedophile
as long as the stuff goes in about your sister-in-law.
That all stays in.
I would never take that out.
I know when there's gold been struck.
There were a lot more character acts.
That's what you said to her.
Yeah, yeah.
Golden brown bird.
Did you ever play the embassy club?
I would have loved to.
Genuinely.
You're too busy. I don't know why
bombing women in you
I was bombing
my future sister-in-law
in my dreams
bombing women in me
hang on
it was tough
it was a tough gig
and it was never gonna
you know
it was never gonna
it was never gonna work
but I like those old rooms
I like them
there's a bit of fucking
yeah but I like that
about the frog as well
and about that kind of
I remember once doing a gig at Dry Bar,
which is like this groovy bar on Oldham Street.
And Alan Anderson put it on
and it was me and a couple of others.
And what's he called?
Frank Sidebottom.
You remember Frank Sidebottom?
Yeah.
Do you remember Frank Sidebottom?
Yeah, yeah.
And Perkins turned up,
because he was around the corner from his club,
turned up with a big cigar, a camel coat,
like the doorman with him and everything else
and he was like
having a go at Al Anderson
he goes through
he goes
I'm the king of Ancoats
right
to which
Mick Ferry went
I'm the Duke of Deansgate
and then Owen Rankin
killed him
by going
I'm Dick Withington
have you got any more
Room 102s?
We've had some people send some in.
Let's feast on theirs.
Ryan Parker says,
I'd like to put unsolicited citrus in my drink
into Room 102.
I didn't ask for a lemony Coke
or even worse, an orangey Coke.
When they pop it in for you.
What about when they do-
A garnish.
It's a garnish, isn't it?
Unspoken garnishes, I guess.
Boar.
I think unspoken garnishes are playing Glastonbury this weekend.
It's to tell the server what kind of Coke it is.
Lime for diet, lemon for...
Yeah, but I understand what rhyme means.
I don't want...
I just want a Diet Coke.
But it is...
One of the first things I put in Room 102 when we started this
was unlisted garnishes.
Unlisted garnishes. When people garnishes. Unlisted garnishes.
Like when people put coriander on your curry
and you don't know it's coming.
Sorry, most part of order,
but I think the plural of garnish is garnish, isn't it?
Somebody look it up.
Google it.
Garnish-i.
I think you just say garnish, don't you?
Susie Dent's best mates, yeah.
No, it's garnishes.
It's garnishes. Shove that in your clock and smoke it um i don't like
unlisted garnishes but now i'm at a stage where i accept that some of them are just like so
commonplace and like international law like fresh coriander on a curry if i order a curry now i
just say do us a favour no coriander and internationally
lemon with coke
lime with diet coke
is a way to make
several drinks
give them to the waiter
not have to make them
in front of the waiter
and the waiter
can pick them up
and know
what is what
I didn't know that
what about in Spain
where they put orange
in the coke
don't they put orange
in your coke
that's just them
doing all their
what about this
you were talking about
unwanted garnish eyes my other half the other day she made me my tea right i was very grateful for
that and i had vegan chicken kiev right oh sorry chicken kiev i had vegan chicken kiev and it came
on the plate and i thought it's been an accident she's put sweet chili sauce on the keeve. Without my approval
request or acknowledgement.
I said, why have you done that?
That is a chef's honour.
No.
If I'm making you a meal, I'm making you a meal
and you'll have it how I'm giving you it.
Who puts a South Asian
sweet chilli sauce
on a garlicky
European dish.
I had a pechoirie naan at the weekend
with a curry, just not on its own.
Honey drizzled.
It's not, I don't know.
A pechoirie's already sweet.
One of the best things.
Hot honey.
I don't eat the honey, do I? I'm vegan.
Who gives a fuck about bees, mate?
I'm allergic.
It's not meat, it jeff innocent once

And Jason goes, pretty much, yeah.
Trific Lid says, room 102, under beard neck hair
that seems to go faster than the speed of light.
Yeah.
I got my beard and hair done like five days ago
and I had to get it done again this morning
because my neck just looked fucking horrific.
Men with neck beards.
Is this a neck beard?
No, just shave your neck, your beards on your face.
Shave your neck.
Oh, well.
I have been a bit of a thing at the moment.
I love, I love the treatment you get from a Turkish barber.
Yeah?
I like the ears doing, I like the nose,
I like everything being waxed.
I love it all.
I've not been to John, my barber,
where I've been going for 20 years for about eight months.
I broke up with him and he doesn't know.
Oh.
You've ghosted your barber?
I've ghosted it.
And I don't know how to broach the subject.
Maybe this is how I'm going to do it.
Maybe he could adapt and he'd be like doing all the Turkish stuff.
No, it's very good and everything, but I've just not...
I've been in a different place.
We've both been wanting different things.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I've been getting my haircuts on the road.
So I went...
And I have to go now and say to the barbers when they do it,
I go, number two all over,
sort the ears and the nose and that bit out.
And I went, the beard, trim it,
no shape, right? And they're normally
from Eastern Europe
and they go, no shape.
Oh, they like those sharp lines, don't they?
But I'm 54.
I look, honestly, I look
like a nonce.
I do look like I'm trying
too hard. Like, look at the jaw.
Adams looks good.
Yeah.
You are at that point.
I'm at tipping point.
You are.
But, you know, you look good.
You look good for your age.
Adam, you look sharp.
Imagine, I hadn't done it in a week.
I had like a strap around there.
It looked like a surgical device.
What do the Turkish do?
Like hair-wise?
Kebabs.
Yeah, I know, but not mid-hair.
Teeth hair.
Chili sauce on your face, bro?
I've had that a couple of times.
I didn't know that was a saying.
The waxy nostril, the waxy ears,
where they put earbuds in and it's poof.
I love it.
And then they show it to you.
Show you in the bar.
Chili sauce on your face, bro?
I mean, this is a kebab shop, but I'm good. Yeah, hell, mate. It's a little catchphrase, isn't it? Chilib. Chili sauce on your face, bro. I mean, this is a good barb shop,
but I'm good, yeah, hell, mate.
It's a little catchphrase, isn't it? Chili sauce.
And then he puts the cotton buds
up and then he pulls them out.
Shows you.
Oh, yeah, I'd want to see.
But I was in one in Newcastle. I'd want to see as well.
About six months ago, I was in Newcastle, Saturday morning.

at the idea that anyone could be going there
and someone's like, oh yeah, you know, Tracy's gone to London
and someone goes, London!
Like they've gone, put the radio on,
London, it's me!
Someone's gone to London.
