Very sleep deprived.
Sleeping. What? Still not sleeping. He's not right. very sleep deprived sleeping
what
still not sleeping
he's not right
I'm having
I'm staying up late
because
you know
you know your brain
comes to life at night time
it's like here's all these ideas
but then
do you write any of them down
yeah
oh I wrote a fucking
can I give you a joke
I wrote yesterday
and I read it back this morning
and it needs a lot of work
you can't read it back this morning, and it needs a lot of work.
You can't read it out.
I just want your reaction.
Oh, my God.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, you can't do that.
That is a therapy bit, isn't it?
It's good, though, isn't it?
It's something there.
It's good, though. I went to see Noah Khan last night in Manchester, and one of his lyrics sparked that thought in it. It's good though, isn't it? It's something there. It's good though. I went to see Noah Khan
last night in Manchester and one of his lyrics
sparked that thought in my brain.
His lyric is,
I'm still angry at my parents for what my parents
did to them. You need to start gigging more again
and then you'll sleep for what their parents did to them.
They didn't switch, did they?
Oh, it's just passed down the line, isn't it?
Generational trauma!
Be the guy who breaks the chain. Yep. Oh, I'm breaking chains, mate. Good punch the line, isn't it? Yeah. Generational trauma. Be the guy who breaks the chain.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm breaking chains, mate.
Good punchline though, isn't it?
Like it.
Good.
You ready?
Is that the Oakland A's, Dan?
Yeah.
Watch Moneyball again, don't they?
Oh, it's good, isn't it?
Yeah.
Watch it for the second time.
It's just as good.
Moneyball, the big short.
Don't know what it is about those style of films.
I haven't seen the big short, but I like Moneyball.
Moneyballs.
That's Power Rangers. Baseball. Baseball, yeah. short don't know what it is about those style i haven't seen the big shorts but i like money that's power rangers baseball baseball yeah
i ain't watching jonah hell no though because he's a continue
and definitely sort of not accepted i've got first hand knowledge that he's a someone told me
i know yeah but like kevin spaceybed children against their will, but the usual suspects
are still fighting.
Allegedly.
Actually, no, he didn't.
He got found not guilty.
None of that.
Actually, he could be doing that then.
So it's not true.
I'll back out.
The burden of proof
was high though, you know?
So he still could have.
But Johnny Hill
was in Superbad, so.
Unreal.
That's what I forgive.
The old art
from the artist debate.
I forgive so much
for Superbad.
What's your current of age film, Dan? Because that's
ours, that's not yours. Nancy
Drew.
What's
Nancy Drew? I don't know.
Nancy Drew. Nancy Drew. Yours
is Stand By Me, surely. Was it The Breakfast
Club or something like that?
Fetish Beulah?
It's an asylum film just the radio the archers
i remember seeing a cave painting and going oh shit i'm a man now
what's a common of age film it like maps does exactly what it says on the tip yeah formative
years where you're like oh I'm discovering women
and shit like that
and becoming a man
or a woman
teenagers
it's Seneca's favourite
kind of film
I think American Pie
might be mine
that's a couple of age film
is it yeah
yeah
right
losing virginities
graduation
the in between
this is coming of age
TV
yeah
how can they both be though
because
like the in between this is like such a different age range to the American Pie so how can they both be though Because Like
The in between
This is like such a different age range
To the American Pie
So how can they both be
How can they be
I don't think it's specific to like
You have to be 16
Going on 17 or anything
Oh it's just like
It's just like a development
That teenage sort of
Angst
Into
Yeah
Becoming a young adult
Realising shit about the world
So I think I could watch
But thanks for the Breakfast Club shout out.
I was probably four years old when that came out.
Yeah, but Superbad's mine.
Because that was the one,
there wasn't a good one when I was that age.
Yeah, but that's what I mean.
I was like nine when that came out.
Coming of age.
No, but I mean.
Yeah, but you were an early developer, weren't you?
I watched that when I was 14.
You're from real.
You did crack at 11.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I think my arm was
probably the in-between
as well because I'm like,
oh,
gims exist.
That's what you got
from a coming of age.
They nailed high school
with that.
Yeah.
They fucking nailed it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Have you heard
Donovan speak?
Yeah.
It's mad.
He's posh, isn't he?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because he's in Killing Eve.
He's a good actor.
And it blew me head off.
Yeah.
Because I was watching him talk and I was like, I know his face, but not his voice. What if I've seen it? And then when it clicked that that was Donovan in Killing Eve he's a good actor and it blew my head off yeah because I was watching him talk
and I was like
I know his face
but not his voice
what if I'd seen it
and then when it clicked
that that was Donovan
in Killing Eve
I was like
nah bruv
Killing Eve's boss as well
American Pie definitely had a
I'd never heard the phrase
MILF before
American Pie
like it
it was
it was massive in
97
98
was it
I think mine was probably Van Wilder then that's the one I liked you introduced me to Van Wilder It was massive in 97, 98, was it?
I think mine was probably Van Wilder then.
That's the one I liked. You introduced me to that.
Van Wilder was fucking quality.
Is that Ryan Reynolds?
It was so good.
I'll let him off with that one.
What do you mean let him off with it?
I ate Ryan Reynolds, but I'll let him off with it.
Whoa!
What are you talking about?
Oh, come on.
Did you not know this?
Listen to Film Club?
We had a big thing about this.
Don't you listen to Film Club?
I don't listen to any podcasts.
Also, Dan, MILF originated in American Pie.
Wow.
There you go.
What do you mean you hate Ryan Reynolds?
I hate that he's Ryan Reynolds
in every film.
That's good though, isn't it?
No.
I mean, I know what you mean.
I know what you mean.
Turns out,
He's Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool.
He's very divisive.
I like him.
No, it's just become cool
to watch him
because he's that sound and cool.
No, it isn't.
I don't know him as a person
I don't think he's uncool
I don't like watching him in films
because I'm like
I know who this character is
it's the same in every film
it's the kooky hey
you'd hate James Bond you know
no I wouldn't
same in every film
oh he's a spy
I get it
what are you talking about
what a great counter argument
you'd hate a character
that a film's about
that is consistent
through 14 films.
Yeah.
I just,
it bores me.
Van Wilder though,
I think that's the first one
where he's Ryan Reynolds
so I'll let him off
because I like him
but then he's too Ryan Reynolds.
Dead Pearl can die.
Sorry,
all the goths out there.
You can't, famously.
Oh yeah, sorry.
That's it.
Hey, he looks at the camera
and talks to us. There's got to be a better example You can't, famously. Oh, yeah. Sorry. That's it. Hey, he looks at the camera and talks to us.
There's got to be a better example
of Ryan Reynolds acting
because we've...
They're the most archetypal
Ryan Reynolds being himself.
Buried.
I talked about it on Film Club.
Buried.
He's not playing himself.
He's playing a character.
But he does.
He does play Ryan Reynolds
in everything nowadays.
Yeah.
But that sells.
Fucking billionaire.
Yeah, he's fucking massive
and he's successful.
He's probably fit with a big dick.
Blake Lively's gorgeous.
Wrecks him.
He owns some whiskey.
Hang on, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no.
He owns...
He's not from films, a billionaire.
He owns a mobile network in America.
What?
Aviation gin.
Yeah, aviation gin and a mobile network.
Which I think he made and sold,
but when he sold it, he had to stay involved
as part of the sale because it's like, you're the it sells he's still right you see blake lively talking about
him he got an award and blake lively spoke about him as a father and it gets you she's so fit he's
done well there and he said about her like when i met blake i was like i'd take a bullet for her
and as soon as we had kids i realized i'd used her as a human shield to defend my children.
Do you feel like that about Laura?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
She's got real good shield qualities.
Who would you let get shot?
Wallace or Seneca?
Let.
You had to choose.
You had to choose.
You can't save both of them.
Someone said that, didn't they?
Obviously.
So someone's tied you to...
It's not!
Because I'm not sure...
Someone's tied you to a chair.
Yeah.
And they've got one bully.
And they go,
I'm going to either kill her.
Yeah.
Or the fucking pooch.
The pooch is gone, isn't he?
Oh, what kind of dog dad are you?
Oh my God.
I thought you liked dogs.
I do.
Serica's had so many years.
Wallace is like one, two years old.
What?
Oh.
Go and ask Jack the same thing about Pez. God,, two years old. What? Oh. Go and ask Jack
the same thing about Pez.
God, as a dog lover.
And as mum.
I actually don't know
who he is.
I can't believe that.
You can always find
a new wife.
There's only one Wallace.
There is only one Wallace.
Only one Wallace.
It's so sad.
No, because you've just
imagined someone
shooting a dog.
Yeah. Can you not imagine someone shooting Seneca? That makes so sad. No, because you've just imagined someone shooting a dog. Yeah.
Can you not imagine someone shooting Seneca?
That makes you sad.
I don't see her that often.
Doesn't see Wallace more.
She doesn't let me pet her.
Not anymore.
Every time I throw balls at her,
she doesn't go for them like she used to.
Her back legs have gone.
That little, yeah.
What about you?
Fellow's got one bully.
Etta.
Don't say that one.
Why?
You all thought it.
You can't ask him that.
I can.
I just have.
Etta, Jack, Laura.
Which one dies?
Oh, no.
That's impossible.
Oh, by the way, that league table,
who's the champion of that?
I'm not sure.
I know who's getting relegated.
Who's getting relegated?
Laura.
See?
And it's what she'd want.
Yeah, that's what you'd pick.
That is what she'd want.
What was Savika wanting?
Mate, by the way,
she wouldn't even need to end the...
Like, I'm so getting relegated from that.
Plus, I know what I'm insured for.
So she'd be like, yeah, that bowl gun.
But you can't do the one of those two.
What if there was three bullets?
It was all four of yours.
Yeah.
Like, you're gone anyway,
so you don't have to live with it.
Save one.
Laura's gone.
Save one of the kids.
Yeah, but that is the...
Yeah.
Good answer.
There's no answer.
It's fine. Just put it away. Both of them. Etta, answer. It's fine.
Just both of them.
Etta, I've known her longer.
She dies.
No.
Oh, you've confused me.
Oh, no.
We should have really said.
You've confused me.
Oh, no, I'm sorry about that.
I know I've just blown your kid's head off,
but do you know what?
I should have set out the rules.
I've done this before. Semantics. You know,'ve just blown your kid's head off, but do you know what? I should have set out the rules. I've done this before.
Semantics. You know, I get people in these terrible situations and I
don't set out the rules. It's my fault
because I've got a lunch booked in and I
need to get there. Traffic's a nightmare.
God, we should have taken our time with this. I've killed the
wrong kid. Anyway, enjoy the rest of your life.
Ta-da. It was just me and Jack
because you're all dead. Oh yeah, in that one
we're all dead. Oh yeah, in that one we're all dead.
Sorry, lad.
It's an impossible question.
I'm picking the human over... Is that what Sophie's Truth is about?
Is that what that film's about?
I've never seen it, but I think you're right, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is it like, it's both AIDS or something
and there's only one anti-AIDS injection?
What?
It's something like that, isn't it?
Yeah.
Is it?
The kids have got AIDS, I think.
No, it's a gun.
It's a scouser with a gun.
Right, who's getting it?
Come on!
Chop, fucking chop!
The game's about to start.
Pow!
Sophie should have made a fucking choice.
She's dead.
Go on.
Oh, it's Auschwitz.
Oh, it's Auschwitz.
Why does it always come back to Auschwitz?
Is it about an AIDS vaccine?
What, Sophie?
Admittedly, I don't know Sophie's choice,
so I wasn't chipping in,
but how have you got AIDS vaccine
from It's an Auschwitz
story?
Like,
you're in Auschwitz
and you've got AIDS.
That could be the subline
to this podcast,
by the way.
9-11,
oh,
it's Auschwitz.
Oh my God.
Oh. And we do it to ourselves
not even like
there's a guest here
legions astray
every time
oh it's Auschwitz
oh damn
do you reckon anyone's
ever had that
reaction to Auschwitz
oh
where are you going
a ticket
oh it's Auschwitz
fuck I thought I was going to A ticket? Oh, it's Auschwitz.
Fuck.
I thought I was going to Disneyland.
What did you think it was?
Some kind of AIDS conundrum?
I've just been a dick and making up.
I knew it was like,
which kid gets it,
do you know what I mean?
So what is it?
Which kid goes to Auschwitz?
Yeah, just save one of them.
They should have called the film that.
And Sophie's the mum.
Which kid comes to Christmas film?
Well, there you go.
Go and watch Sophie's Choice.
Luckily, Ryan Reynolds isn't there.
Phew!
It'd be the same.
Because that would ruin it.
Ryan Reynolds is a Nazi.
In fact, that's just fucking Sam Rockwell in Jojo Rabbit, isn't it?
Jojo Rabbit, phenomenal film.
Got the fucking last scene on my wall.
Loved that film.
Tarantino wanted Adam Sandler to be the bear Jew, didn't he,
in Glorious Bastards?
Really, yeah.
Yeah, he wrote it for him.
Adam Sandler?
Yeah.
That's mad.
He wrote that part of like the...
It's such a serious role as well.
Not really.
Adam Sandler does serious well when he does it.
That's a very recent development though.
Yeah, no, no, he's been doing it every so often.
He just picks and chooses
and then he doesn't jack and jill to make the cash
and then he goes and does...
Is this a film club?
Are we doing film club?
Yeah, we're doing film club.
The Bear Jewel.
It's a loving, glorious bastard.
What's the basketball one?
He's fucking great.
Coach Carter.
No.
No, Adam Sandler is not Coach Carter.
He is?
It's Uncut Gems recently that's the one way.
Uncut, yeah.
Whatever that is with the tall...
With the tall...
You've nailed it.
The Spanish guy.
The Spanish kid.
So good.
What is it?
Hustle.
Hustle.
Fucking belter.
I haven't seen it
what are they doing happy girl it's good it's an aids conundrum that'll be fast you'll love it
it's about ashford probably one of the saddest moments in film history is when he sees
in jojo rabbi when he sees his mom's shoes yeah spoilers oh bro yeah that's Nazi Germany
my favourite Adam Sandler film
is
Big Daddy
never seen Big Daddy
I don't know
are you going to shout at me

if I do film

you've got to watch
okay
it's going to be a really long episode
we're doing eight films
Big Daddy the kid from
Ross's kid from Friends

yeah
I wonder what he's doing now
Scuba Steve mate
one of the
no
that's the other ones is it the Sprouse twins it is isn't it yeah it. I wonder what he's doing now. Scuba Steve, mate. One of the... No, that's the other ones.
Is it the Sprouse twins?
Yeah.
It is, isn't it?
Yeah, it's the Sprouse twins.
Oh, it's the twins!
Suite Life and Zack and Cody.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So there was twins
and that's how they...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
One of them's doing all right,
one of them's a bit mental,
I think is the update.
I think that's most twins
in Hollywood, isn't it?
Yeah.
Mary-Kate and Ashley
are doing all right.
Are they?
Well, they had a rocky few years, didn't they? Yeah. Mary-Kate and Ashley are doing all right. Are they? Well, they had a rocky
few years, didn't they?
Did they?
Yeah, they were.
What was that called?
For the audio listeners.
Eating heroin.
Oh, right.
And a fucking car.
Well, the sisters
ended up being the best one.
The sister?
Elizabeth Olsen.
Oh, yeah.
She's ended up doing the best.
What have I seen her in?
Loads.
Marvel films.
No, I've seen her in something good.
Twins are just creepy, aren't they?
Twins are fucking weird
people. I had this conversation with Seneca the other day.
Do you know what's weird?
He's right.
It was just one of those badly
timed mouthfuls of water.
They're fucking creepy.
Identical fucking freaks.
It is mental though, isn't it?
Oh, it's two of us. Don't worry about it.
Boy and girl twins, they're the worst.
No, they're not.
What?
No, identical, identical.
You could be married to a woman who had an identical brother.
But they're not identical.
You can tell them apart.
It's a twin, and they're like,
oh, they've got all this weird potion power.
You can't have identical twins with different genders.
They've got all this power together, haven't they?
Did you say potion power?
Yeah, some kind of voodoo gear, isn't it?
No, when it's boy and girl, they're not as weird
because they're not really twins.
They're just two babies who shared the same gaff for a bit.
Yeah, they're twins.
They're not identical twins.
Yeah, like identical twins, what I mean is by weird.
They're like fucking telepathic ones
who can fucking speak across the living room and that.
I can do that.
With their head?
With the mouth?
The loud voices.
Like, they're creepy.
There's never been a horror film where it's like,
oh, we're the creepy twins and it's one boy and one girl.
They're always the same gender.
Identical twins are mental.
They're all fucking freaks.
God's photocopy.
What would you do if you had one
and you knew your wife just wanted to fucking
have to go with the other one
because you look the same
she obviously fancies him
what
oh you're saying
they'd obviously be attracted
to the other twin
because you look the same
yeah
is it forgivable
if she does it by mistake
like if he comes in one day
with your hat on
and fucks your wife
do you divorce her
it depends if you always
fuck her that hat
if that's the fuck hat then yeah if she gets confused I think it says a lot about Fuck your wife. Do you divorce her? It depends if you're always fucking her up.
If that's the fuck hat, then yeah.
I think it says a lot about the twin, doesn't it?
She's like, well, he started.
I've got to let him finish.
It's a mastermind.
As if the twin wouldn't be like,
I've just clocked on to who you are.
You started, so go on and finish.
Just a heads up, I'm not your wife.
What's his name?
John Christian Anderson's son.
Didn't we get a question in, Harry,
about if your wife had an identical twin who started an OnlyFans,
would you feel weird about it?
I think so, yeah.
We had that question.
Like if you were married to someone
and they had an identical twin.
I do have the same pussy though.
Isn't that Friends? Yeah, Phooebe and uh yeah who's that yeah it is it is so phoebe's sister ashley is a porn star not not even like an only fans one like a full-on
getting railed dressed as buffy the vampire slayer and she also uses phoebe's name as her
porn star name which is clever that is where all the comedy comes from.
Good episode.
But I've got the same nipples, haven't I?
Identical.
Yeah.
Identical everything.
That's mad, isn't it?
What do you think identical means?
Identical boy twins have the same dick.
Yeah.
That's mad.
Why are you saying that?
To your authority?
What do you mean?
Yeah.
Because everything's identical,
apart from the nature side of stuff.
So if one of them was taking big dick pills,
they don't both grow.
They're not connected.
Not through osmosis or anything.
Can you Google that?
The twins have the same dick.
Identical.
Identical dick.
That's a pertinent question.
Could you imagine you had a little one?
So they're very similar
but the penises are very similar
they're not identical
I don't believe that
you're either identical
or you're not
you can have rare cases where there are male and female
identical twins
it's really rare
no you can't because one of them's got tits
I think you're getting really stuck on the word identical.
I think...
They're identical.
Literally identical.
You couldn't be.
But the meaning of identical twins is not like carbon copy, is it?
It's like a mutation in the sex chromosome.
So they'd have to be hermaphrodites?
Hmm?
Are they still a thing?
I thought it was just a thing
when we were in school.
Are they still going?
Like shoulder pads?
Yeah.
Are they still going?
You don't hear them no more?
You used to hear about them
all the time.
Really?
At your school?
Yeah.
Yeah, your ma's a hermaphrodite.
It was like a shout.
Yeah.
You don't hear them no more? Lady Gaga being a hermaphrodite was big news when I was in high school? Yeah. Yeah, your ma's hermaphrodite was like a shout. Yeah. You'd hear them no more.
Lady Gaga being hermaphrodite
was big news
when I was in high school.
It was a lie.
It was a lie.
An awful lie.
The thing is,
she didn't deny it,
did she?
She leant into it.
She leant into it.
She was like,
yeah,
why does it matter
if I've got a big cock
on my pants?
That will make it worse,
won't it?
And what press conference
did she say that at?
I'm paraphrasing, but that's close.
That is not far off.
It was in an interview with a...
Someone was like, what do you say to rumours
if I was having a big dick?
And she was like, I'm not even going to address it,
but why does it matter if I've got a cock in my pants?
Literally.
So you've taken that as, I've got a cock in my pants.
Why is that important?
No, I'm not saying that at all.
What I'm saying is, she didn't help herself, that important? No, I'm not saying that at all.
What I'm saying is she didn't help herself, did she?
If she wanted to quash the rumours, but she clearly didn't.
She was leaning into it.
She was getting all the ham- Like, she was the ham-aphridized star, do you know what I mean?
That's why she wanted all the ham.
She was just trying to tell us.
Ham-aphridized.
Oh, the meat dress?
Yeah.
I thought you'd have got it quicker. Because was so we got it we got it twins when they have
kids um if the two twins have kids they're technically cousins obviously but genetically
they're half siblings yeah and wow and if two sets of identical twins have babies with each other,
so like identical twin brothers
and identical twin sisters have babies,
then they are exact siblings genetically.
That's wild.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
Do you reckon that's ever happened?
Yeah.
Two lots of twins are found each year.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's quite common in the twin world.
How many twins do you know?
How many twins do you know?
He's done so many twins that he's clearly...
In Twin Town?
I've had a couple of hangovers where I've done twin deep dives
because they genuinely freak me the fuck out.
Oh, I mean, that's the dream.
I'd love a threesome with two bitches.
They're the same.
Apply within.
Apply within. Oh, my God. Apply within. Apply within.
Oh my God, he's speaking to me.
And you, Jessica.
Two fit bitches.
We're both fit bitches. Identically fit.
Equally fit.
There's always an ugly one.
Even though I'm identical, there's always an uglier one.
Always. One of them's got a bit of a mad head.
Yeah? always an ugly one yeah always one of them's got like a bit of a mad head yeah i'm not there's no opinions of fact look at the awesome twins
are they twins are they twins the olsen twins one of them's gonna laughing
one of them's got a mad head they've've both had surgery now. They look the same.
Oh my God, fuck me.
She and Sharno's bones, Ed.
Have you seen it?
It's maddening.
Oh, it's actually sad.
A Zempik jaw.
A Zempik and loads of surgery.
And surgery.
I'll find it.
She never looked normal back in the X Factor days.
No, I've seen Simon Carp looks like the baby of Ice Age now.
He does.
He looks like a grown-up version of the baby of Ice Age.
Yeah, it's sad, isn't it?
She actually regrets it, she said.
She looks like...
But there's no going back.
I think she came out and said,
like, oh, yeah, I shouldn't have done this.
My head's gone mad.
Again. Sharon Osbourne has released a statement. Oh, I shouldn't have done this my head's gone mad again
sharon osborne has released a statement oh i shouldn't have done this my head's gone mad on it
it's a bit like that lady got a press conference oh my god she looks good there
what that's not the same woman it's gone mad
what one i can't see what you're pointing at. The big one. The biggest picture.
She looks all right there.
She looks 20 years younger.
That's mad.
Second one down.
Yeah, that one.
Oh, Lord.
But what's she meant to look like at that age?
Isn't she like 93?
Age with grace?
Not with fucking a Zephyr pick and plastic in your head.
She's 71.
I don't think she looks as bad as you're making out
You know
Google what is Sharon Osbourne
Meant to look like right now
What website is that
Now come on
That's the baby of Ice Age
That's the baby of Ice Age
Oh my god Carl you fucking nailed it
No
Someone's messed with that picture.
No, it's on my bed.
They've all got my beds now.
It's the Ice Age baby.
It is.
I don't know the Ice Age baby.
Can I have a look at it?
Please.
Someone, for me, do a little bit of...
Can we get that picture of Simon Cowell near a mammoth?
Let's see if there's a side-by-side.
There's got to be.
There you go.
That'll be the only way to protest that.
Stop it, Hollywood.
What age do you reckon you're going to get to now
before you start messing with your face?
Yeah, any time now, isn't it?
43.
I've got to think about the future
get a big pillow head
going on
what would you do first
get a zen pic
which would be pretty pointless
because I've been in the gym
trying to do weights
but you know
isn't it just
just a suppressant
yeah but it
it literally just
burns everything
doesn't it
fat, muscle
doesn't burn anything
no I mean
that's what
that's the result
so your body does eventually
yeah you lose weight but you lose everything yeah because you've got no calories yeah you
get full after like a bite which is you suppress i reckon that'll become like wider like as emper
yeah like you'll be able to get it on the nhs for like no fucking people at some point yeah
because somebody on it it's rough what's rough about it because he's just
being lazy and he's in no energy he goes to the gym but he does that as well i think he just
doesn't want to he's a bit lazy does one of is he doing full ozempic yeah but there's a
british version it's not the same it's a different drug drug. Right. It's the same. Is it expensive? It's like £200 a month.
You're going to do this, aren't you?
No.
Do you want me to?
You said that like a threat.
You're going to do this, aren't you?
That's 200 quid.
Go on, sign off.
It's a council tax.
Don't do it, Dan.
No, I don't want to do it at all.
I'm all right.
It's just a good minute. Everyone's got a mad head but then they reckon you are
yeah
I mean I have lost tons of weight in the past
and I just look like my head was too big for my body
I look wrong
I am worried about that
that's my biggest fear with losing loads of weight
and getting in proper shape
is having that former fat man head
you know when fat people former fat man head.
You know, when fat people lose weight and they look like a bat doll.
I think it's fucking horrific.
Isn't that the muscle?
No, no, no.
That's what muscle helps it.
It's something to do with
the fat hanging off your face.
I mean, when their heads stay big.
Alec Baldwin.
Yeah.
Just a big fucking nugget.
Can you wear your head out?
Well, I've lost weight off my head
since we were in Nashville.
Not your skull, though.
Yeah.
Come on.
My skull is smaller since we got back from Nashville.
What?
You're not buying bigger hats?
Oh, yeah.
No, I've measured my head and it's smaller.
The cream hat fits me now and it never did.
I've lost weight off my head.
And I've got longer hair hair so I've probably lost
even more weight
than I realised
your skull can't be
smaller though surely
but it is Dan
I'm not saying
I know how
maybe I'm a medical marvel
are you
definitely
maybe you've lost
some of that fucking
like
you know when people
have got like a fat
back of head
that's what I mean
but it doesn't feel
like there's any of that there
no you're fucking you're all skull yeah but i've i've lost i've lost i've lost that but what happens
then if you get massive like brock lesnar because it's tiny and it looks like a little p you know
what i mean i don't think his head's tiny i think it's tiny yeah but it looks tiny that's what you
have to do you just have to have to keep getting bigger with muscle.
Do you know when I did Dan Soda's podcast,
there's loads of comments on that saying
that they all thought I was a midget
because of the thumbnail.
Because I've got a midget's head in the thumbnail.
They were saying that word.
Yeah.
Have a look at the thumbnail. Have you got one of them?
Your head's got dwarfism.
Like Peter Dinklage.
Go onto YouTube
so that you see
the thumbnail properly.
I'm trying to zoom in there.
By the way,
Peter Dinklage,
I love that his first,
second name is essentially Dinky.
You can't really see it
because of how...
I love Dan Soda, by the way. If you've not watched any of his stuff, go and check him out. You can't really see it because of how...
I love Dan Soda, by the way.
If you've not watched any of his stuff,
go and check him out.
I don't see it, mate.
No, that's right.
But, like, if you click on it, go to the comments.
I think it's because of your neck. Control F midget.
What?
Control F midget.
You do look like you've got a neck
that could withstand G-force.
Do you know what I mean?
No comments.
I say do it, do it, do it.
That's a 50 cents crew.
No, I can't find it.
Is this a dream?
Have you had a dream?
He's deleted it, just to be nice.
I think it's because you look like someone's tickling your neck.
You're doing that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You've got a sturdy neck, man.
You've got a big head.
Those legs are thin, but the neck is thick.
My legs aren't thin.
They're muscular.
But they're thin.
Muscular.
Compared to your big fat neck.
Do you need more bike rides then?
Yeah.
I don't enjoy it.
How's your arse?
All right.
The sore gooch thing.
It wears off. My fucking seat is not a comfortable one like it's a racing seat i mean it's a racing bike it's a road bike i've
not got any bike yet no um it's really affecting my shoulder and my neck i had to go for a massage
yesterday um so the vibrations which are only going to be worse on the rubble roads in India,
are my bad shoulder.
It's radiating into my neck
and when I've left it for a few days,
it was coming into my head.
It gave me quite a bad headache.
Shrinking your head.
That's the worry, isn't it?
Yeah.
Quite a trip.
But I'm up to about 40 kilometres now.
I can do 40 in one go.
Takes two hours.
What are you going to do
if your head starts hurting?
Huh?
What are you going to do if you get a big eddy?
If you've never watched the podcast before,
we're going to India
to do 500 kilometres
in about six days.
Around.
But it is six days.
All right, sorry.
Yeah, it's maybe fine.
It's doable.
That last 50 would fuck you.
It is doable,
but you need to start training properly
and you need to maybe at some point get a bike.
I'm getting a bike up next Friday.
Oh!
It's confirmed.
Black Friday?
We put it in.
So you've got two months essentially.
I'm picking it up after I watch Peter Kay.
He does a ride every day.
What?
I'm picking it up after I go and watch Peter Kay.
You're going to watch Peter Kay?
Yeah.
At the co-op?
It's my mum's Christmas present.
At the co-op in
manchester the other one the og last christmas oh it's because you have to put yourself in advance
we're in the hospitality oh how are you wangled up do you know them special offers that are
on the website yeah nice hang on so when did you get that for her well i originally had other
tickets i sold them and then got upgraded to hospitality.
Does she like PTK?
She's never seen him before,
but she asked for it for Christmas.
She's a weird woman.
She likes comedy though, doesn't she?
She likes comedy.
And he's pretty well known.
She likes comedy.
I think she felt like she was missing out
or she didn't watch it.
I don't particularly want to go.
Yeah, I've seen you recently at stand-up comedy
and you look like you hate the artful i
don't like stand-up anymore i used to where are you picking the bike up from who watches right
so you're going peter k she's coming with us right and my cousin we're going as a four yeah
and they're cycling they're cycling from cuttington no we're picking it up on the way back
right are you gonna cycle it home?
No, I'm going to put it in my car.
In your car?
Yeah, I've got to take the wheel off.
Off your car?
Off the bike.
Got to take the wheel off the bike.
Why is it always mental with you, Finn?
What do you mean?
How else are you getting a bike in a car?
It sounds a bit mental.
What car do you drive now?
One Series.
I'm going to try putting the seats down and see if it'll fit
cuddlington cuddlington it's like near nantwich so no i thought you'd know where nantwich was
it's like an hour just cycle around then an hour drive is gonna be how long cycle
probably two hours i've got i've got an indoor bike I've been doing that
just on the M53
every so often
pointless
is it
yeah
why
you need to get your bum ready
I'm on a seat
no it's not the same thing
it won't be not helping
it won't be making anything worse
no
but it won't be really helping
I stopped aching from
from the car day
a couple of days ago
which was fun
my wrist
stilly had a big wank yeah carl day oh it's gonna be exciting to see how that all pans out let's
have a break sorry steve steve wasn't ready we were just giving props to Johnny Bongo as an unbelievable show person.
I love that man.
And watching him do what he does at Bongo's Bingo is incredible.
He's a show person.
He's a showman.
It's 2024, you never know.
You never know.
He's the Michael Jordan of house and bingo parties.
Of course, Michael Jordan is the original
Jump person
Jumpman
Yeah
That's his brand
Is it?
Jumpman's his brand
Yeah Drake's got a song about it called
Jumpman
Why do you think I did it?
Too busy
Busy watching American Pie, mate.
That's really funny, by the way,
when someone tries to take a piss.
Are you doing something like that?
Jumpman, is it?
Jumpman.
Yeah, it is, Dan.
Oh, cool.
I'll get back in my fucking box.
Well, it's Jumpman,
but that's a part of Jordan as the brand, yeah.
It's on the side of some of the shoes, Dugley.
Yeah.
Have you got jordans
uh one pair that really well i don't know if i suit them i went into a kicks like a
a kit you know like kersh kicks style shop in dublin and just i'm so not used to that
style of trainer shop where you're like, oh, they look nice,
and they're 450 quid.
Yeah, that shop's kind of maybe done now.
I think they're dying, yeah.
Cash Kicks is probably the better one,
but I think they're just museums now.
You go in and you go, fuck it now.
That's them, six grand now.
They're like Apple shops.
You go in and just look at stuff and walk out.
If your trainers are in cellophane.
Yeah, not many people can afford to go and buy them.
Like, I haven't bought trainees for ages.
I'm much more likely to buy a pair of shoes or a pair of boots now.
You're a bootsman.
And shoes.
I got a lovely pair of shoes recently.
The old ones.
Yeah.
Yeah, they are nice.
Shall we do some questions?
Where shall we go?
Sam says
haveawordpod at gmail.com if you want to send in a question
Sam says if you could simulate boring tasks
like a corporate gig or a flight
as you would in a game but it took
say double the time off your lifespan
how far would you be willing
to go? So you can
you just basically
don't have to do boring shit you've seen the film
click done yeah yeah but it's twice off your life that's an unnecessarily sad film that yeah it
made me that's the first time i ever cried i still yeah it's the first film i ever cried i know
exactly what scene as well the dad yeah but he goes back to his dad welcome back to film club and you're like lad just fucking
say something
how about his dad
erm
I mean
I
I already do
sort of outsource
boarding tasks
but it doesn't take
anything off me life
takes off your bank account
you could be the stuff you
but it doesn't though
it's not
much more expensive
than doing it myself
and me time's more
valuable than that
like laundry especially with washing machines.
Laundry in a flat with two other men.
And there's like, we've got one drying rack
and there's one washing machine and there's no dryer.
It is, it's so much more logical for me
to get the fella in Versace to do my undies.
All the way to Vizag.
Wash, dried, folded.
Delivered to me door.
Is there anything you wouldn't give him?
What do you mean?
Anything that requires dry cleaning.
Not even like,
oh, you've used it to wipe up a coma or something?
Oh no, he's washed some of my cum rags.
Other than he knows that I don't know.
Do you tip? What know do you tip what
do you tip
do I wipe the tip
of my car
yeah yeah
that's what I meant
do I tip
yeah on a cum rag day
yeah yeah
like
you know when it's
you know when there's
a couple of extra crusty ones
going in
you're like
I'm gonna
yeah because
like they're like
getting paid in cash
so whatever it is
because it's different
every time
because it's a paid item
I don't even know how much it is paid item but I just round in cash so whatever it is because it's different every time because it's a paid item and I don't even know
how much it is a paid item
but I just round it up
so whatever.
I mean,
if you're watching Adam's Cone Rags
you need a tip
and that is a fact.
I'd want a tip.
If you could get on a flight,
say the flight was a two hour flight
and it took four hours off your life
and you were just there
and you didn't have to deal with it.
A Ryanair flight to like
Spain or somewhere, yeah, when it's just that uncomfy. Two and a half hours, and you didn't have to deal with it. A Ryanair flight to like Spain or somewhere,
yeah,
when it's just that uncomfy.
Two and a half hour,
like I'm about to fly
to Portugal tomorrow.
I think it's above
two and a half hour.
If you thought four and above,
I'm simulating it.
Two and a half,
you can manage it.
But you're losing more hours there.
Yeah.
Yeah,
but I don't,
that flight back from Nashville
was the longest.
No,
but it was a comfy plane at least.
I'm talking about.
Yeah,
but what does it matter?
You die at 83,
you die at 10pm, you die at 2pm. No, but what does it matter? You die at 83. You die at 10 p.m. You die at 2 p.m.
What does it matter?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
What does it matter?
So you're only using this once, are you?
I'm using it once tomorrow
to get to fucking Portugal
with two children.
That was good.
They've gone back as well.
Oh, wow, wow.
You're going to lose about 10 years off your life.
Yeah.
What?
This would rapidly get out of control.
Yeah.
And you wouldn't even realise it.
And then you'd just die like fucking 46 or something.
And you'd be like, oh no.
I skipped too much, man.
So say I've got 43 years left.
Right.
You died of Geordie syndrome, by the way.
86.
By the way.
So you've taken 40 years of my life.
That is ambitious for you, you know.
43 years left.
Right.
Okay.
It is though.
86 has aged for a man who's
he's lived his life
you've lived your life
alright 76
yeah
you give me 76
yeah
I give you 73
give me 73
yeah
so I've got 30 years left
yeah
so you're saying
I'll just die tomorrow
because
I'm taking 15 years
of mundane tasks
that'll get out of hand
that quick
it's 15 years to
I'm with you.
It's not going to be years. You just cherry pick it.
Just cherry pick it.
I'm about to fly to
fucking Portugal on a
sweaty fucking flight to Faro.
I'm not fast forwarding the family
bit. No, because what he does is he starts with the mundane
shit and he's like, oh, putting the kids
to bed, that's doing me head in. Blip.
And then you just
go do you know
what I'm only doing
the shit I like
you're literally
you are Adam Sandler
in click aren't you
no I'll just use it
for the major thing
I'll just skip to the
next bit of me career
oh look I'm here now
no I'm not
I'm not gonna do that
but that will happen
that would be insane
do you know what
43 shot I'm gonna
skip to being 49
oh I'm dead
I'm telling you
right now
you would literally
you would be making little trade-offs in your head.
You'd be watching the telly
and you'd be like,
oh, I need a shite.
Ah, but I pooed.
Oh, but I enjoy pooing.
I like a good plop.
What if you're in like a cinema
and you can skip it
and you've done the poo
and you don't miss any of the film?
Is that how it works?
No.
Yeah?
It goes on to the end?
Yeah, but he's got,
you're just on autopilot, aren't you?
It doesn't pause time no
no well i thought it's essentially time travel to when you've finished yeah yeah oh that's different
then isn't it i thought it just took the time off the end of your life like you've skipped 10 hours
worth so we're gonna take 20 off the end and then so what they're saying does make more sense though
for this thing yeah yeah but yeah you would you would literally, you would just be like,
I can't be bothered doing that.
Driving to gigs.
If you were stuck in traffic, you'd boop.
You couldn't, don't you?
You'd be late for the gig.
No, you wouldn't.
What are you talking about?
It's double the time, innit?
No.
No.
No, that's off the end of your life.
That's not off that point.
So if it was an hour away and you skipped it.
This is not complicated, and you're normally not this stupid.
So it's basically, if you've got a boring hour's drive you just press it yeah and then it
takes you an hour into the future you're there it does the journey for you it simulates the journey
for you you are where you needed to be but you die two hours quicker the off the end of your life
it's the end of your life like i said yeah okay that's what i meant but i thought you changed the
parameters um no I wouldn't.
I like living my life.
I don't want to.
With them eight hours when you're fucking 80 or...
What, sleeping?
Would you skip your sleep?
What?
What?
If you could skip sleep, would you skip sleep?
No.
But you still felt the same at the end?
Like you got the...
Yeah, but a fucking miserable journey
is not the same as being asleep.
I'm talking about fucking...
Why would you skip sleep?
It's not tedious. Sleep's fucking... Why would you skip sleep? I'm talking about fucking sleep sleep's not tedious
sleep's fucking
why would you skip sleep
I'm skipping sleep
it's boring
boring
it is
sometimes I can't be
I sleep and
I just want to be in the next
are you alright today
I'm asking the pertinent question
I would rather not sleep
if you gave me the choice
and you went
you can just keep going
and just not need to
sleep like i would take that because my body needs it no but you would if you were just like if my
body right now was kept awake yeah i would go insane but if humans didn't need to shut it down
for eight hours i think those eight hours would be so much you'd be it'd be so useful do you know
there isn't a scientist alive, past or present,
that knows why we need to sleep?
Apart from the fact we get tired.
Like it doesn't make sense scientifically that humans need to like sleep.
And it restores all sorts, doesn't it?
Yeah, they just don't know why we need to do it.
I love that Pete Holmes bit about
just trying to explain sleep to an alien.
I love Pete Holmes.
And just at the end of the day,
just shut it down.
Shut it down. I love that you have to pretend and just at the end of the day just shut it down shut it down
you have to pretend
to be asleep
is it boring
no
your mind just plays movies
that you're in
you have to pretend
to be asleep
to get to sleep
which is mad isn't it
yes
you have to lie there like
I'm asleep aren't I
that's such a good point
you have to go
right I am sleeping
no you're not
and your body goes
alright I'll real sleep then
don't think about something cringy 20 years ago.
Okay.
Oh my God.
I like sleep.
Is that what your anxiety goes to when you're trying to sleep?
Is it the past?
If I start thinking about stuff like that or fucking,
I have to, to get me to sleep, because I don't watch stuff.
I just play made up
fucking
sport careers
in my head
like a
a teenage
one
Wunderkind
that's like
an unbelievable footballer
and scores
31 goals
for Celtic
just imagining someone else
just imagining the
it's me
it's me
alright okay
and then I get
signed for Real Madrid
and like I just
play out the career
just watch goal
but that wouldn't
get me to sleep
would it
play goal too
that'll send you to sleep
back to film club
welcome back to film club
yeah I've been a
cricketer
that was a
that was
I've been a
no you haven't oh yeah no I've been a cricketer. That was... No, you haven't.
Oh, yeah, no.
I've been a...
To get me to sleep.
It was unbelievable.
That cricket career was brilliant.
I played really well at school
and I literally imagined the games.
I'm like, oh, great shot.
And then I played for Lancashire for a bit
and then it was the winter.
So I went and played in India,
a club team in india and that one
was getting a bit too in depth because at one point i was like imagining because i stayed with
the the the club captain's family and i was like oh yeah i'm in the spare room it was good it was
really good and then i ended up playing for mumbai with dan you took the battle today off me thank
you so it's like it's your dream.
It's like a thought experiment.
And you stay with the club captain's family
in the spare room
rather than the club that you're going to sign for
putting you up in a nice gaff.
No, it was just a small,
it was a small sort of local Mumbai.
Why didn't you not go to a big,
just invent a mansion?
What?
Just invent a mansion.
Didn't you dream?
Like invent a class gaff?
Why did you want to carry on working?
Why didn't you just have a holiday?
I'm in the spare room.
Because I'm a young cricketer who wants to succeed.
I want to play for England one day.
That was my head.
I wanted to play over the winter.
National League cricketer.
Yeah, yeah.
Did it in Australia as well.
How quick do you fall asleep?
Honestly, sometimes I don't get to like the third ball.
Other times, other times I've like,
do you know, genuinely in that cricket fantasy,
I played so well for the local cricket club
that Mumbai like gave me a game and I played with Tendulkar.
And then I imagined going back to the club
and buying cricket bats for all the kids.
That's what I'm saying, it's so mental.
I proper like imagine what
would happen i can't believe you stayed with someone's family in their indian spare room
rather than getting a hotel yeah they got me a hotel yeah they got me a hotel how would you make
the time last are you sitting there having like small talk you're just skipping through all the
things yeah i just sort of skipped through it but it's just a weird sort of way of
I just find it very relaxing
what were the names
of the family
I don't
I never named anyone
gotta be a nightmare
that one you want
when asking my question
you
you
erm
Indian
where's the papadum
club captain
club captain's wife
my anxious thoughts
I find it very relaxing
if I have my anxious thoughts it's all next week and my
bank's gonna blow up so don't money and the kids so i can't think about stuff like that i can't
think about work or stand up it just it keeps me awake it almost like revs revs me up no i'm saying
my if i ever get anxious thoughts it's never the past like when you're trying to go to bed
when i was doing that when i was 19. I think like, imagine in a month
this happens.
That's my anxious,
if I get anxious thoughts.
While you're going to sleep?
Yeah.
Yeah,
but I listen to things
to avoid it.
See,
I just,
I've never,
if I listen to,
I don't know,
if I listen to stuff,
I can't,
can't.
I have to listen to,
we've done this before,
but I have to listen to something
I've already seen or heard.
Yeah.
Nah, mate. Just go and have a, you're doing cricket career. but it bores me. Yeah. And that's what you want. to something we've done this before but I have to listen to something I've already seen or heard yeah nah mate
just go and have a
Indian cricket career
but it bores me
yeah
and that's what you want
you want to be focused
and bored
and if you close your eyes
you can kind of
still see what's going on
yeah
oh if I put friends on
so I put friends on
on my phone
and close it
and then press play
so that it put
just the audio plays
I'm watching
friends in my head
there's just no lights on
yeah
I do it at the office
yeah that's by the way this is way more normal than pretend you I'm watching friends in my head there's just no lights on yeah I do it at the office yeah
that's by the way
this is way more normal
than pretend you
no
I think
playing food
Lancashire
being able
being able to just sleep
you're raw dogging sleep
being able to raw dog sleep
is much more
like
mentally healthy
yeah
you're smashing it
I couldn't do that
no way
said I could do that
pitch black
no noise
nothing
nah I'm mad being locked up within a week yeah if something anxious You're smashing it. I couldn't do that. No way. Seneca does that. Pitch black, no noise, nothing. Nah.
I'm mad.
Being locked up within a week.
Yeah.
If something anxious happens,
if something bad happens,
I think of every possible permutation and I have every possible argument
and conversation about it.
So that's catastrophizing, isn't it?
Yeah, I'm the worst for it.
Do you know what's really funny?
Do you do that?
For a long...
But like, I remember years ago telling you,
when I started sort of realizing that I suffered with years ago telling you when I started
sort of realising
that I suffered
with anxiety
and telling you
what it was
and I remember you being like
I just don't suffer with it
but you obviously
always have
you just didn't know
what it was
yeah
something happened recently
to do with the wedding
and it was shit
and Seneca was sitting there
talking and I went
just go
what
just get in the bath
why
I was like because I want go what just get in the bath why I was like
because I want to sit here
and
in the bath
I want to sit here
and think
I want to think
of every possible thing
that could happen
and then deal
with them all
get in the bath
I'm doing my anxiety
supercomputer
that's what I did
hang on
just downloading the
mainframe.
And then when it
happens, I'm like,
I've had this
conversation before.
I know what you're
going to say.
What?
Joe, when you're
going to speak to
somebody about
something you know
might not be good
and you go,
they're going to
say this.
So I'm going to
say this.
And then they'll
say that.
Oh, it's brutal.
You're just twisting
yourself up.
Of course, it's not
healthy, but I have to go,
and then I feel like I've dealt with it,
because it's already happened, even though it hasn't.
So, by the way, this thing, have you now dealt with it?
Yeah.
Right, because that's the band-aid.
That's the thing.
You're sitting there going,
I can just think of every possible outcome of every conversation.
Yes.
Like, better to just do it.
But I do the exact same thing as you're talking about there,
but with most things so like
what i what i'm discovering about myself lately and you're all gonna initially laugh at this
and then realize i'm right i'm quite quiet right i don't talk a lot unless it's on the podcast or
on stage i agree with that like i'm quite a quiet person right and you know what it is your phone no i mean yeah part maybe in but that's not what
i'm talking about what it is is i don't talk to people about anything because i've already had
the conversations in my own head that all of them that could possibly happen so i've got no interest
in what you've got to say what because i've already had the conversation about this thing. You can feel it.
Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I've had conversations with...
Yeah, yeah, I know.
And you give off that vibe.
We've had conversations...
It's the way you ask a question and then you go,
and I'm gone.
Oh, Adam's gone.
Seneca does things with me where she speaks to me
as though we've had a conversation,
but she's had it in her head.
Like she's asking me something...
Oh, that's a very...
That's a woman thing.
Like she's asking me for the third time,
like, what do you mean? She's like, oh... Women a very that's a woman thing like she's asking me for the third time like what do you mean
she's like oh
women will start
conversations in the middle
as well
and they expect you
to have had the first half
with them
but they actually
had it in their head
and then she'd go
oh I spoke in my head
about that
she'd be asking me
something for the third time
that she's gone
we should do that
why hasn't he done that
and then she'd go
can you do that
and I'd go yeah
and I'd go
why are you being weird
or sometimes they'll just
go out of nowhere
you watch the film
for three hours
it's coming towards the end
and they go
we'll get the early train
and you go
what are you talking about
I was saying
wasn't I
like when we go to
out of nowhere
why don't you just do it
when we go to London
in December
like we'll get the early train
oh we were having
that conversation
three weeks ago
oh yeah
well I've just thought
about it now
yeah
I like to deal
with all the bad shit
Freddie Quinn said it
not to his level
because he's like
his parents dying
because then I can't be like
oh shit that was new I don't know how to deal with his parents dying. Because then I can't be like, oh shit, that was new.
I don't know how to deal with it.
If it's something that,
I don't get a lot of things
that cause me anxiety,
but if they do,
that's how I deal with it.
It's not healthy probably,
but I like to just live in my own hell
for like two hours.
So do you think sometimes
you trying to decide
what's going to happen
is making the anxiety worse?
Yeah, but i can't make
it go away so i may as well deal with it oh so you're saying i don't really want to be like this
no but i've decided to just lean into it to the fullest extent compartmentalize i mean maybe not
so much these days better than anybody i know i don't want to do that no i can't because i've
always had to yeah yeah but like it always comes out at some point.
My compartment license is essentially raised.
Let's just put that in that box for now and we'll deal with that in a bit.
But at some point,
you have to go back and open the box.
But I can't do that.
That box is always open and going,
hey.
So I'll go, all right.
And then I'll just have a shit couple of days.
Right.
Yeah.
That's good.
Wedding scores, though.
Weddings are stressful, mate.
Don't get married married why are they stressful
just book the gaff
that's the politics of it
book the gaff
book the magician

I'm dead happy
there's Adam

thought about it
so you're boring
get in the bath if it was like that yeah So you're boring. Get in the bath.
It was like that, yeah.
Do you want a wedding?
Get in the bath.
I'll think about it.
Politics in weddings is wild.
So you've booked a photographer
because Jack Finnegan is coming,
but you want him to just be there?
Yeah, he's a guest.
If he's got his camera with him,
we can get some shots.
Nice one.
But Jack is a guest.

Have you booked your flights?

Okay.
Right.
We'll do it in the break.

but there is going to be
an end of night karaoke
so you will be able to sing
what you want but not choose what to be an end of night karaoke. So you will be able to sing what you want.
Great.
But not choose what is played the rest of the day.
We've got some confessions.
Zach Booth says,
I have a mini confession to make.
Yeah, there's the gavel.
You sit in judgment.
Judge Rowe presiding.
Zach Booth says,
I have a mini confession.
I deliberately make sure there's at least one spider
in the downstairs bathroom,
so I get it all to myself.
Do I deserve penance?
How does he do that?
He's a spider catcher.
I need a shite. Gotta go in the garden first.
Catch a spider.
I don't think spiders are easily caught unless they want to.
Spiders don't really exist anymore.
Unless they really want it.
Spiders are dying off.
When I was a kid, there were spiders everywhere.
Spiders aren't shagging, mate.
Wasps, apparently it's a kid, there was spiders everywhere. Spiders aren't shagging, mate. No. But wasps,
apparently it's a really low count
wasp summer this summer.
There's never wasps in my house, though.
And there'll be some environmentalists
going,
oh, hey,
if the wasps drop any lower,
there'll be no more fucking broccoli or something.
And it's all bollocks.
We'll be fine.
Oh, you know,
if bees stopped making honey,
what would you do?
I'd just have normal Cheerios.
That's the only issue.
It's the ecology, mate.
What's it going to affect?
Cheerios.
That is all it would affect in my life.
And me carrots on Christmas morning.
Oh, I love JD's hot honey, though.
What would happen there?
Also, the broccoli.
Oh, humans would figure out how to make it. You think humans would figure out how to make it
you think bees
would figure out
how to make honey
and we can't
we put a man on the moon
allegedly
the bees haven't
alright maybe
we didn't put a man
on the moon
we made concord though
concord
bees could fly
sort of
we figured out
how to fly
faster
and further
yeah
and with seats and bevvies.
Stupid bees.
No, bees are class.
Fair play.
They've done well with what they've got,
but there's no way you're telling me
we couldn't just replace them.
Fuck you, bees.
Bees have just got a good PR.
They're useless.
Also, what are bumblebees?
Big, stupid, fat cunts.
Yeah, the fat ones.
I had to be like,
what was that bloody teddy bear on legs?
Yeah.
That's what I always say
you don't need bees mate
and all these
fucking ecologists
and these fucking
Brian Cox
consumers
all like
oh you need the bees
for the fucking toast
Brian Cox is always
talking about bees
isn't he physics
yeah
and bees
they're all in the same world
physics and bees
I'm Brian Cox
you've got to protect
the big teddy bear
looking ones
it's physics isn't it
plus I love Cheerios it says humanity would be fine but dinner would get I'm Brian Cox. You've got to protect the big teddy bear looking ones. It's physics, isn't it?
Plus, I love Cheerios.
It says humanity would be fine,
but dinner would get a lot less interesting.
A lot less interesting?
Oh, really?
Who's having honey that often?
Really?
It was that National Geographic you've just pulled that out of.
NRDC.
I don't know. It would get a lot less interesting
because it would be illegal to make roast potatoes
if there was no honey.
If the bees were gone,
they're the ones who keep legislating for roasties to be legal.
Do you think we'd only lose honey?
We would only lose honey.
They don't make anything else, do they?
They pollinate, don't they?
Right, they pollinate what?
Other flowers.
And what?
You scramming flowers higher?
How can I hide that?
Do you have flowers for breakfast?
No, don't. I'll be fine.
Do you have flower-flavoured Cheerios?
I can't have honey or sunflowers anymore.
Shush all.
The honey and the sunflowers, they're all gone.
What do they do that would affect you?
Could you please Google what bees do?
Yeah, they pollinate everything.
Everything?
Everything?
You don't need to pollinate Milkyky bar yoghurts, do you?
No, but the...
The cows eat the grass,
and they wouldn't exist if they didn't eat the grass.
Bees do not make grass better.
Bees have got fuck all on lawns, mate.
Oh, mate.
He's so active, mate.
They pollinate flowers.
Grass isn't flowers.
Grass is just grass.
Grass is just there, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cows would be sound.
What does pollination help us make?
It's not.
It's more for the ecosystem.
It's the base, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, he loves the ecosystem.
Get ready.
As in like other animals.
It's just all the food chain, isn't it?
It's the food chain.
You like pigs and otters,
don't you, famously?
That's all I saw.
On a bap.
Loves them for breakfast.
They wouldn't be able to live.
It's fine.
It's got Milky Way yoghurts.
Pigs eat swill.
Pigs eat their own shite. So they don't even need grass. So bacon and be able to live. It's fine. It's got Milky Way yoghurts. Pigs eat swill. Pigs eat their own shite.
So they don't even need grass.
So bacon butters are still sound.
There's no fucking...
There's no insects in bread.
I can't argue with it.
What are we actually talking about though?
If anything, we should kill the bees.
Let's get rid of the cunts.
I'm not advocating for any sorts of genocide. Leave them alone. But if they did just drop off the bees, we should kill the bees. Let's get rid of the cunts. Like, that's just... I'm not advocating for any sorts of genocide, mate.
Like, leave them alone.
But if they did just drop off the bees,
we'd be fine.
Beeschwitz.
There's A, Auschwitz.
B, Beeschwitz.
C, coffee.
What?
Coffee.
What about coffee?
They help coffee.
Thank you, Dr. Cuvallus.
They help coffee?
What do you mean they help coffee?
Be good.
They help with the, with making coffee.
No, they make the honey that goes in nice sweet coffees.
No, no.
Oh, no, no, no.
It says without it, without bees,
coffee would become expensive and rare.
Right.
It's nice.
So that's why the coffee prices are going up.
Less bees,bucks raise the prices
it just says the it'll get a lot more bland so here's what it says right so almonds coffee
apples avocados onions and berries oh what a fucking lovely dinner that is
oh i want some avocado apples i think today uh Supermarkets would have half the amount of fruit and veg.
Just make sure you get there when the half's brought.
Just order twice as much.
Fuck the bees.
I don't eat half a supermarket's worth of fruit.
I just get there when they put it out.
There's always well more fruit in the supermarket than they sell.
You made yourself a stupid film.
It's a load of bollocks, isn't it?
We'd all be sound.
Fuck the bees, I say.
What was the question?
What was the question?
He was putting spiders in his downstairs bathroom.
And that's not a euphemism.
Yeah.
I think you're a liar.
Anonymous.
Wag wag lids.
A mate of mine has been a right cunt to me for a while,
mugging me off constantly,
chatting shit behind my back like a girl,
trying to turn our whole group against me
and begging for
attention from anyone and everyone can i read this in the like bitchy tone this man a mate of mine
has been a right con to me for a while mugging me off constantly trying to shit behind my back like
a girl trying to turn our whole group of mates against me and begging for attention like a little
whore a few weeks i've added that a few weeks ago
i decided i had had enough and set up a grinder account in his dad's name and began talking to
other men eventually they wanted to meet up so i directed them to his house his mom obviously found
out and the dad had no way to explain it and it led to a huge bust up my mate doesn't know it was
me do i deserve penance or did he deserve it first of all
i i reckon you did something in the first place to make your mates like you're off behind you
behind your back because it doesn't just feel like one of your mates just does this for no reason
also if their family can't see that you've done this and don't believe that if his mum
is like john you've got fucking seven gays in the car here. Do you know, John, when the
first gay guy turned up for a bumming,
I was like, well, that could be coincidence.
When the second guy turned up,
I was like, well, you know, that's just bad luck.
Gay me once, fool on me.
Fool on me.
By the way, if you imagine the word spust up means
gangbang, it sounds better and funnier.
Read it out again.
Eventually, they wanted to meet up,
so I directed them to his house.
His mum obviously found out,
and the dad had no way to explain it
and led to a huge gangbang.
Well, they're all here, John,
so someone's fucking...
These seven lads have travelled far and wide
to bum you, John.
It doesn't matter that you didn't set up the account.
That's a good porno, that right away.
Game of Thrones themed.
John Snow White and the Seven Gays.
Why is Snow White there?
John Snow.
Why is John Snow there?
Because he's called John.
And then he said Seven Gays in the garden.
It made sense.
Harry told me about an old Christmas cause and prank
that we should have done ages ago, he there he'd bring people and tell them he'd won a radio city
prize and they have to get down to the radio city tower just let them go
why did we never do that apparently they they had to turn up to rate the radio city tower and say
what the number one was in the charts then and knock on.
And years later, they got the woman out
who used to be on the receptionist at Radio City
who had to send all these people away.
You were coming and just going like,
get us loud.
Why did we never do that?
Because you were tweeting Les Dennis.
Who, by the way,
was on the biggest morning show in the country this morning,
refuting that he's a horse. And all the Who, by the way, was on the biggest morning show in the country this morning, refuting that he's a horse.
And all the clips, by the way, make it look like that's why he was brought in.
They've led with it.
Yeah, the first thing was like,
Les Dennis, a horse?
There's no, like, that's you.
We've broke the world a little bit there, haven't we?

on your own face what are you a muzzy on your own face
What are you saying?
Muzzy, moustache
Fuck, I kept thinking you were saying muzzy
And I was so confused
Never had a muzzy before?
He's got a muzzy
It sounds too close to muzzy
I kept thinking you went to a class and you got a muzzy
The only other thing I think of with muzzy is slang for muslims
He's a muzzy on your head. The only other thing that I think of with muzzy is like slang for Muslim. Yeah.
He's a muzzy.
All right.
And you can be a muzzy
with a muzzy.
And formalisticity.
Strike a muzzy
is this, of course.
Who was Muslim?
He didn't look it.
He was Turkish descent,
wasn't he?
Yeah.
He played for Turkey,
didn't he?
I'm going to guess
that he was muzzy.
He played for Turkey.
Is it?
Get out.
Sorry.
Thomas, speaking of which, do you feel disliked, Finn?
I feel very disliked.
Why?
Because he's a useless cunt and I tell him all the time.
Fucking hell, Finn.
Don't stand for that.
Don't stand for that James Corden-style abuse.
Are you okay, Finn?
I'm all right.
I'm getting there.
I'm being comfortable with being disliked.
Oh, what a good subject.
That's so not true.
Don't.
Come on.
There's a book called The Courage to be Disliked,
which Carl is reading at the minute,
because he needs some lessons in it.
The Courage to be Disliked.
Yeah.
To be okay with people not liking you,
not to be a people pleaser,
and not to do things to your own detriment
just to please other people. I thought you meant building up the courage to make people dislike you i can do that
easy that's a piece of piss but are you like a sort of malleable person obviously in a long-term
relationship you've got a little baby yes you're getting married to a woman in december correct
yeah right so like do you sort of let it have its own way it's a good
recap on thomas you're um do you like let it have its own way all the time does she get her own way
by just like fucking do you know what i mean or are you willing to be disliked by your partner
by going actually shut the fuck up we're painting the wall red or i'm one of them who like if we
have an argument like a tiff i'm the first to
apologize because i just want it to be all right because otherwise i spiral out my own head that's
it you know but then it's like absolutely fine i'm definitely a people pleaser is that what you
mean yeah yeah 100 do you think she respects that though yeah oh yeah no but because i've already
had my say and done my piece but then i I still sort of like we negotiate on whatever we're working on.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
So like your wedding, right, if I was like to you,
I want to wear a Mr. Blobby costume to your wedding.
Yeah.
Right?
And you were like, I'd rather you didn't.
And I was like, but I'd really fucking want to wear a Mr. Blobby costume.
Would you let me wear a Mr. Blobby costume?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
No?
No, no.
It wouldn't go with the colour scheme.
Even if it made me dislike you,
you've got the courage for me to dislike you.
I feel like that's on you if you don't like someone
because you can't wear a fucking costume to a wedding.
Okay.
But he's full of courage.
Do you think this is about couples?
Is this about relationships?
No, I don't see it as couples.
I never saw it as...
No, because that's different, I think.
That's totally different.
Because with Soph, it's like, I know, like, you know...
That she dislikes you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Vehemently.
No, like, when it comes to, like, people and work and situations,
like, that's actually something...
Actually, do you know what?
I'm not even joking.
A couple of years ago, Adam taught me some life lessons
about sort of
fucking defending myself
a little bit more
and sort of
such an influencer
yeah you are
he actually didn't even say it
I just read his mind
and he just picked the mullet off
while he was there
he's going to want a mullet
in a few years
two years ago
he was thinking about a mullet
there you go
but yeah
I think that's
that was my issue
we won't go into detail
but there's certain professional situations you've been in where you've been like oh I'm just going to whatever and I've just been like but yeah like I think that's a but the same professional we won't go into detail but the same
professional situations
you've been in
where you've been like
oh I'm just gonna
whatever
and I've just been like
no fucking punch
to fucking
yeah yeah
fucking stand up
for yourself
and I'm like
okay yeah
and then you do it
and you go
fuck why have I been
like a
I think the courage
to be disliked
it's so key
in a work environment
that's more than
if you were gonna
read that book
surely the work
environment is the main one that you're you were going to read that book, surely the work environment
is the main one
that you're focusing on.
Well, apparently,
agreeableness
is a really good
predictor
for
lack of progression
in your career.
So, like,
if you're a really
agreeable person,
you're less likely
to get promoted
than non-agreeable people.
So people,
it's counterintuitive,
isn't it?
People think in a work environment
the best thing to do is get your head down,
do the work, do what you're told,
shut the fuck up.
But the type of person who's like,
no, that doesn't really work.
You should do it this way.
Those people,
even though they're going against the grain
of their bosses,
eventually get higher wages and...
Some of them will get sacked.
Yeah.
Some of them, but some of them will succeed.
Most of them will go to...
There's a higher risk, isn't there,
involved in that,
taking that attitude into a work environment.
You will hit an immovable object sometimes,
and you will not progress.
But there's a chance that you will,
because actually they'll go, no, he's right.
Whereas if you just agree with everyone,
keep your head down,
like if you averaged it out,
most of those people aren't going to succeed.
There's no reward without risk, Dan, when in Rome.
Nice, yeah, yeah.
Put them two together.
Do you know what double speak is
I think I mentioned
that before
apparently women use
that a lot in the
workplace
I'm not saying
it's just them
but apparently
it's a reason
because they're like
if you've got a
mini can you
you know I'm sorry
to like bring you
can you just come
and do
whereas men go
can you do that
apparently like that
there's another reason
why women don't
progress
because they're not
direct enough
but within language
it is a gender thing
yeah so Finn
stop being a fucking woman
about it
no it's fine
you can't do it
without us going
hey can you do that
there's loads of men
like that as well
yeah but I'm saying
dims
I mean the gnome doesn't care
he's flipping me off
right now
he is
but yeah I'm trying to learn
to be okay
with being disliked
in what situation do you think you struggle with the most uh sex mid-sex there's no specific
mid-sex and she's like i don't like the way you're moving your hips he's like well i've got the
courage to not give a what's up i'm going carry on anything i don't even i don't even work because
that's whatever but other other places
I need to be okay
with people not liking me
because I've made a decision
that I've decided to make
yeah I've got to the point
now where I
I just cull people
I'm getting there
yeah because I'm like
do you know what
like I don't need the negativity
and the bullshit
like if you're not on my thing
you've got to be careful
with that word
your accent doesn't lend itself to that word
I'd avoid that word if I were you
cause sounds like kill
I just kill people
negativity
I don't need the negativity I'll just kill them
no you're right
your accent doesn't lend itself to that word
I have no idea what's going on
I'm going to say the word negativity
negativity ok don't say it doesn't lend itself to the word. Okay, I have no idea what's going on, but... Okay, I'm going to say the word negativity.
Negativity.
Okay, don't say it.
All right.
No, you can't define it. Oh, is that what you heard?
Yeah.
I thought cull and kill.
No.
Oh, my God.
I didn't get it either.
Yeah, Dan's here to save me.
We'll tell you later.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
That's such a good joke that we just can't broadcast.
Yeah.
But yeah, being okay with people not liking me is important.
Yeah, but I think like, yeah,
if people like don't give you the time of day
and aren't on board.
I don't know what's going on.
It's losing it.
I have no idea what happened.
You can't know what's going on.
It's in my head.
I just need to get past this.
Just keep talking to Carl.
It's not what you've done.
It's funny.
I'm trying to read his mind again.
You said you call people. it like friends yeah yeah just
people who like um it's like valuing yourself if they don't value your time and stuff and they
treat you like shit i'm like why why are you in my life then bro do you know what i mean and then
also just people who are always fucking bitching and negativity and all that i'm just like i can't
do it and also you're a dad now,
so you've got less time to put up with this shit.
Has that given you a bit of perspective?
Yeah, that's the other thing.
I was actually talking to someone earlier.
I was saying how like last night at a gig,
I was talking about how, yeah, being a parent,
because they're a parent as well,
and they were saying like it's crazy how much perspective it gives you
that you just feel like, yeah, but I've got something serious.
That's all that matters, no? Yeah yeah 100 it's just like tunnel vision how'd you call though because i've spoken
about it on here it's not there's like it's difficult there's no set like format for
binning off a platonic male friend like a mate there's no sort of set social structure for it
if you're seeing someone or in a relationship everyone knows that you go oh i'm not really feeling it i don't think we should see it see each other
anymore everyone's been through it before and everyone goes oh god that's bad or you're a dick
or whatever but when it's a mate who you've had enough of it's really you can't say anything it's
a weird thing to imagine saying that to a mate going baz can i talk to you i just think we should
see other people like i'm just not feeling feeling it. I'll write them a letter.
Is it?
The male thing to do is to just shut down
and just ignore it.
And the other fella will do the exact same thing.
Yeah, and you'll both get it.
What if they don't get it, though?
What if you just shut down and ignore it?
And in 20 years, you're like,
God, this cunt's been doing my head in for fucking ages.
There is some people in your life that you've had too long to get rid of and
you just like they're just there in the periphery aren't they they just float and occasionally you
have to put up with them once you sort of missed a window you missed the window like in your early
20s you're like god i could have i could have thrown him out of mr window i hate mr window
or kicked him out of Mr. Window. I hate Mr. Window. Or kicked him out of Mrs. Door.
Mr. Window.
Yeah, some people just have to go,
yeah, I'll see you.
I look one over.
No, but if they're a miserable fucker,
get rid of them.
How though?
You just said you can't.
I know you've got it.
You've got to be a trailblazer.
Blank them.
Blazer.
Is there anyone in your life?
Yes.
Right?
Yeah.
Who you talk to regularly. Blankum. Blazer. Is there anyone in your life? Yes. Right? Yeah. Who you talk to regularly.
Oh, yeah.
That you would quite happily write this second,
never talk to again.
Yeah.
I feel like you guys are going way too hard on Finn.
Oh, no.
Thomas.
See?
Nice try, Tom.
Oh, it's Harry.
No.
Yeah, there is
yeah yeah yeah
we've all got
I've got
like
how often do you talk
to the people
or person
we're thinking about
every couple of months
because if it was
any more than that
I don't even think
that counts
no
alright cool
yeah yeah
oh mate
if it was all the time
then I'd have had
to deal with it
I thought you and Laura
were going well
we're going well
we're going well
we're going well how are you love you alright yeah no I'm sat had to deal with it. I thought you and Laura were going well. We're going well. Talk to his wife every couple of months.
How are you, love?
You all right?
Yeah, no, I'm sat next to you, yeah.
Have you got any of them?
Weekly?
Someone I talk to weekly?
No.
Like, I don't deal with shit like this.
If someone's doing my head in, they're dust, mate.
Gone.
Bye.
Nada.
Au revoir, sir.
Are they Spanish?
Au revoir, sir.
If you ever hear Adam speak Spanish to me,
I know I'm down.
I know who I like,
and I know...
I've started writing a stand-up
about this exact thing as well.
I know who I like.
I know what I like in people,
and as soon as I've got people like that
that I like,
I keep them.
I'm like, yeah, get here.
Let's all be friends.
And the people I want to keep, I'll fight anyone for them.
Like, we're mates, aren't we?
We're family.
We're friends.
We win together.
And they do one thing that puts me off them,
and I would watch them burn and not piss on them.
One thing.
One thing.
I love you, but one thing.
You do everything to get one thing, and he's done.
No, he's got three
I think I owe Carl about 17 actually
what would a one thing
would it be like a bad habit
no no just like
if they did something that goes completely against
what I believe is the fundamentals of friendship
or vaping
which is one of the fundamentals of friendship
no vaping
that's for me as well.
It's a disgusting habit.
Yeah.
I wouldn't ever.
I have boundaries for my friends
that I would also have in a partner.
Certain things in a partner,
if they did it,
you go, right, well, I'm not,
you're just gone.
Like, it's not a thing.
And I've got similar things for friends.
What would you do, Thomas,
if one of your closest friends ever,
because of what's happened recently
with all the racism,
kidnapped your child
and held them to ransom?
You're going to cut them out, aren't you?
I may have to have got them back.
No, the man thing to do is just ignore it.
They'll ignore it.
It'll grow up and it'll come back.
It's funny you say that, Adam,
because that was on my list of things
that are fundamentally against friendship.
It's kidnapping Louis.
What happens to one of your friends?
Like, oh, that's a bit of a...
Oh, like if they called me? No, you're talking and they have a bit of an opinion that you're like oh shit that's a bit
racist or homophobic or yeah yeah like if they were like oh where were you yesterday i was in
the rally bro you cut them out yeah you would you'd be like defending a mask oh no you would
yeah yeah yeah like we had which side were you marching? I'm talking close school, like, school friends.
What would you do?
Talk to them or just call them?
Yeah, I think you'd have to have a combo, wouldn't you?
If it's something, like, if it's something fucking serious,
like, it's like you're saying the races or something,
you have to fucking call them out.
Only if you want to keep them, though.
That's the thing, isn't it?
What's the fucking, do you know what I mean?
Like, you not have an obligation to society
to try and change the mind of bigots?
No, but we've discussed this before.
There's bellends everywhere.
They're not my fucking bellend.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Minds in me pants.
I'm not having an argument with my dick about racism.
You're not my bellend.
Come on.
Come on.
Go on, Finn.
Why is it always white women?
What do you think about immigration, little Dan?
I think they should go home.
My dick is...
Big voice.
Yeah, yeah.
Ah, hello.
Can I just say that from this angle,
I can see Adam gave it a mouth.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, of course.
It's zippy, apparently.
I want to send the boats back.
Freddie Quincox.
Zippy.
Go on.
Finn.
I was just going to say,
Thomas, did you speak to anyone after you left the cult?
Or was that completely cut off cold?
So let's just recap for new listeners or people new to Thomas.
Thomas grew up in a Christian cult and left when you were...
No, I didn't grow up in it.
I joined it. I joined it.
You joined it as an adult?
I joined it as a...
Yeah.
Did you?
I was 17, 18 when I first went.
Oh, I thought your mum was like
banged into it from day one.
Nah, nah, nah.
Nah.
I went there because I thought
it was a cooler church
than the one that I was at.
Oh, right.
So you were raised in a mental one anyway
and then you moved in...
No, I was in like a strict Baptist one
and then it was like...
Not a mental one? And then I went to this one because it was all like we and i was like fuck yeah oh this
is great they just have the inflatable wacky guys outside jesus loves you it just means you're a
pejo dealer she even stole one of them fucking class that looks great i go to a church at that
one side yeah honestly
that's what it was like
but have you kept in touch with any of them
only
you know what it's funny the only ones I've
kept in touch with are also left
yeah you're not allowed
I mean I'm not speaking for your
cult but like if you're a Jehovah's
Witness or whatever if you leave
you're done you're dead to everyone aren't you it's mad and it's also like you're a Jehovah's Witness or whatever, if you leave, you're done. You're dead to everyone, aren't you?
It's mad.
And it's also like you're looked upon as...
Yeah.
You're lost.
You're lost.
You're lost.
You need salvation.
Do you know what I mean?
But yeah, my mate who left as well,
every time I go back to Adelaide,
we catch up with him as missus.
Dan, do you reckon you can speak
on the behalf of the Jehovah's Witnesses?
What, the Jehovah?
As a whole?
The cult I'm in, the Jehovah's Witnesses.
No, I don't know what fucking wacky inflatable warehouse guy fucking church.
I don't know the name of his cult.
Jehovah's Witnesses, are they like Mormons?
No, they're Jehovah's.
But what's a Jehovah?
I thought Jehovah was a person, and they'rehovah's. But what's a Jehovah's? I thought Jehovah was a person
and they're like witnesses.
What's a Jehovah with you?
Clip it.
100%.
My mate...
So happy.
You've been regaled.
What do Jehovah's do?
They come to your door.
No, that's not their religion, is it?
Doors.
Well, I don't know.
There we go.
You don't know either.
The main difference is that the body of Christ is brown bread.
Hey, that liquid death is doing you no good.
Non-branded.
Go on, what do Jehovah's do?
They believe solely in the Bible.
Like, they're living strict by it.
Oh, it's by the word.
And also, there's like an end of days, isn't there?
Yeah.
You don't...
When you die, your self ceases to exist
until you're resurrected.
The day of judgment.
I'm not going to lie,
that sounds pretty sick.
Wow.
They all come back.
Thomas Hayes,
like two lines,
if anyone listens,
he's like,
sign me back up.
Oh, fuck,
that sounds great.
I'm back, baby!
You're so easy.
They knock at your door.
Oh, that's so sound.
Love it!
I've got some living down the street.
So they've not tried to save us.
So my mate had ones that would regularly go up and down his street back in Adelaide.
And he said one day he answered the door.
He saw him coming.
So he answered the door naked.
And then they never came to his house again.
Right.
Yeah.
Maybe they were gay. What? Maybe they were gay jehovah's witnesses i'm like you're tempting me i can't come back here again you think that they were like fuck we can't go back there
because that guy was gorgeous was massive i want it too much i'd have to leave the church
and you can't you can't i think it's one rules. Tom, would you allow them in your house if they knocked?
Gays.
No, I don't want to talk religion.
Me neither.
Huh?
I don't want to talk religion with them.
Do you know what I mean?
Don't talk about religion with them, then?
Well, what?
I'm talking about gay people.
I don't think...
Oh, I think you're talking about Jehovah's Witnesses.
I don't think Sophie would like them in the house,
because Tom was within about 15 minutes.
Giving him the deeds to the house.
Does it come with a kit?
I mean... Start a pack. There's a free CD player, babe. I'm about to sign the whole thing giving him the deed to the house does it come with a kit I'm in starter pack
there's free CD player babe
if you get left for 15 minutes
you will join a cult
you just have to keep them near
Thomas isn't allowed to answer the door
I'm on cult watch
the baby's allowed
make sure I don't sign up
I've just come up with the best
patron special I did of all time
the Jehovah's Witness patron special no we take Thomas to a black church right well I'm sure I'd sign up. I've just come up with the best patron special I did of all time, by the way. The Jehovah's Witness patron special?
No, we take Thomas to a black church.
Right, well, I'm in.
I've wanted to go to one for ages.
And?
End of sentence.
Well, just leave him there.
We just take him and film his reaction.
Just drop him off.
When he's like, oh, Lord.
And he'll be like, oh, Lord.
It'd be class.
Where is the black church?
There's one in Chester,
but I don't think
they speak like that.
There's one in Chester?
Yeah.
Is it like a...
There's one in Liverpool.
Yeah,
that makes sense
because there's black people
in Liverpool.
Yeah.
There's loads.
I don't think they're like,
oh,
welcome to black church.
Lord,
I'm here down in Sealand Road, Chester.
Where are the congregation from?
They're from Blakon.
They're from Poole.
And some of them have come all the way across the water
in a queen's ferret.
Welcome to Black George.
Welcome to Black George.
Welcome to Black George.
I think they just, you know,
I think they've got their voices.
Shout out Blakaken and Hill.
If I thought you'd want me to go to something a bit more sketchy,
that would be fun.
That would be like a fun church.
Like a caricature?
Huh?
Like a what?
Sketchy, it means like drawn.
A caricature?
Oh, yeah.
I didn't hear what you said. said Thomas you've really got to tune in
with these silly cunts today
they're in a very silly mood
and you're missing so much of it
I wouldn't let gay people in
what's more
hang on
what sort of church
you're talking though
like in terms of like
like a Westboro
a Westboro Baptist yeah that's just a reason to be horrible they're not a church yeah but i mean like that's what i
thought you meant for a special going taking you to the rest but like behind enemy lines kind of
thing like um god hates the bad word and then like soldiers they pick it the bad way i won't say the
word begins with an f and it responds to homosexuals. Sponsor? Sponsor?
It answers the phone to them.
You've never seen
the Westboro Baptist Church?
They just say the worst.
Oh, the Highness.
Hate speech.
They go to soldiers who've died
at battle and protest at the wedding.
At the wedding?
At the funeral
that's fair I reckon
can't be marrying this guy
he's dead
he died in Fallujah
and they go like
oh we're glad he's dead
and all that
it's horrendous
right
yeah
so probably not that one
probably the black church
that Adam suggested
it's only more fun
just tell me some of the things
they do
you've nailed it
you've nailed it you've nailed it
it's the God hates
God hates cigarettes
God hates cigarettes
that's their like
slogan
God hates cigarettes
maybe they're just like
they've lost someone
to lung cancer
I wonder if anyone's
ever lost someone
to lung cancer
accidentally during
the Westford Baptist Church
they're very pro-lung
yeah
but these are
these are the worst
there's a Louis Theroux
documentary about them
I knew what it was I just wanted to explain Harry Robbo Harry Robbo Farolang. Yeah. But these are the worst. There's a Louis III documentary about them.
I knew what it was.
I just wanted you to explain.
Harry Robbo.
Harry Robbo is very interested in these people.
He's got one of their tops on.
Yeah, that does look quite racist.
Okay.
It does look like he's got a German cross on it.
Scientology for Tom, maybe?
Oh, that creeps me out because it's all the elites in Hollywood and stuff are secretly or not secretly doing it.
It's like a weird...
Is that the one with Tom Cruise?
Tom Cruise has been pretty honest about his involvement.
But women aren't allowed to make noise during birth or something?
Is it something fucking weird like that?
Women aren't allowed to talk through movies, it is.
And I'm all for it.
Women aren't allowed
to make noise
during church.
I don't know what he's in.
It's Tom Cruise.
He's from our church.
Ask him on Sunday.
Shut up.
Tom!
What have you been in?
Yeah, every time.
It's Mission Impossible, look.
It is.
He's from the church.
Where do I know him from?
Fuck me.
Church.
John Travolta's kid died because of Scientology, didn't he?
No.
What?
He wasn't Scientologist, was he?
Was he not?
No, he was, wasn't he?
No, he's one of the other ones.
Oh, he's...
He's...
He's something else where they can't have medicine.
No, he's Scientology.
No, I think he's converted to that.
1975 he joined Scientology.
I think his kid died in 73, 74.
When he was 15.
Who started it, Finn?
L. Ron Hubbard. Yeah, L. Ron Hubbard. L. Ron Finn L. Ron Hubbard L. Ron Hubbard
L. Ron
L. Ron Hubbard
L. Ron
Lord of the Rings
L. Ron started it
in Rivendell
it's L. Ron
Hubbard
Hubbard
it was a book
it was a science
it was a science fiction book
that he just went
this would be a sick religion
and what people just jumped on
so that's what it was recently
yes
in the last three or four decades.
Are you fucking serious?
And people now do it as a religion.
So he started religion.
Yeah, it started in the 20th century.
That's fucking crazy.
How old were you?
Motherfucker.
Because most religions, the Abrahamic ones,
are from, you know, fucking 2,000 years ago.
You know, this is like the 20th century.
It wasn't founded in fucking 10 AD, was it?
Was your cult founded a thousand years ago?
Yeah, but it comes from.
It comes from the teaching.
Do you know what I mean?
It's not like a brand new one when he goes, yeah, fuck it.
Mormonism's pretty new, isn't it?
In the grand scheme of things.
Oh, yeah.
Are they believed Jesus is from America?
Is that or coming back to America?
Coming to America.
Eddie Murphy.
Eddie Murphy, Jesus.
It goes down really well at that church we're going to
someone in America found like stone
tablets with like a new message
from God Joseph Smith
Joseph Smith
Book of Mormon yeah yeah that's a fucking great
play yeah and did
you think that had nothing to do with the Mormon church
no I knew it did but I forgot about that bit
the whole thing because it was Yeah. And did you think that had nothing to do with the Mormon church? No, I knew it did, but I forgot about that bit.
The whole bit.
Because they were doing the South Park accents and stuff.
Yeah.
And Jesus.
And it was fucking great.
I was dying.
With Scientology, you get your own planet. I cried at the end.
You get your own what?
You get your own planet.
Yeah, I think you do in Mormonism as well, don't you?
Do you?
When you die, you get your own planet.
Own planet? Yeah. Which one's this one When you die, you get your own planet. Own planet?
Yeah.
Which one's this one?
Scientology.
You want your own planet?
No.
Bored.
You won't be there,
you'll be on your planet.
I'm not going to lie,
that sounds pretty enticing.
I don't like walking to yours.
I'm not getting a fucking spaceship
to come and have a cup of tea,
am I?
Have you seen Interstellar, though?
Sam!
Come here, mate.
Am I on my own planet and he's on his?
Yeah, I'm fucking out of here, mate.
Yeah.
But like, you have to pay to get to different levels of Scientology, don't you?
And then as you get to different levels, they tell you more shit.
And they reckon by the time you get to the top, they just go, it's all bollocks.
But we've all got loads of dough, so don't worry.
But have you guys seen Interstellar?
You haven't discovered new planets?
I haven't seen it yet.
I'm going to see it in December because it's going back back and be released you've never seen it no fuck okay well
they just find some planets and some of them aren't as good as others i'm not giving anything
away from the plot imagine if you were given a planet but it was a shit one it was inhospitable
huh it was inhospitable yeah yeah i'd be fuming it's like winning one of those fucking like
lotteries for the house on facebook but then you find out it's in Coventry or something.
Or like you rock up and it's got fucking...
I don't want it.
I don't even want to sell it.
What lottery is that?
What's the Coventry house lottery?
What's that?
That's got to be made up.
I've never seen it.
Have you drawn the house lottery?
On Facebook.
Oh.
Gee, come here. We've won a fucking other house in the house lottery. On Facebook. Ow. Gee, come here.
We've won a fucking other house in Coventry.
That's the third one this month.
Coventry house lottery.
He's got a match fixing in him.
We've won three in a month.
Something's going on.
What is this?
You win a lottery.
I know what he's on about.
You pay for a ticket.
It's like a raffle for a house.
It's like winner house worth 150 grand.
It's a quid a dollar.
And they wait until they've had like 250,000 entries.
They make profit on it.
And then they give the house away.
There's loads of them all over the internet.
I've seen that on American game shows.
They've got to pay the tax on whatever they win
as a prize on game shows.
Oh, that's fucked.
It's so fucking bad.
So if they go, oh, it's a luxury holiday.
Like whatever the value of the holiday there's tax on it so if you if you get this holiday and yeah great it's worth 20
grand but you have to pay six grand of tax if you can't afford apparently with game shows the part
of the reason that's the soul like varied the prizes because often the people go i can't afford
to pay the tax on that so i'm not claiming it what the price is right was the same a lot of
people just couldn't do the things so they want a car they'd have to pay the tax on that, so I'm not claiming it. What? British Price is Right was the same. A lot of people just couldn't do the things.
So they won a car, they'd have to pay the tax on the car.
Yes.
Yeah, and the game show, like, fill in a form immediately
to IRS to go, hey, they won a car, just to let you know.
They should be paying the tax on that.
Their lottery's taxed, isn't it, as well?
Yeah.
But the British one isn't.
Well, gambling used to be taxed in the UK.
When I was a kid, I remember, like, on like, if you bet on, like, the Grand National,
which is all I bet on when I was a child,
you had to choose with the bookies whether to pay the tax
before or after the bet.
Hold on.
You used to bet as a kid?
On the Grand National?
Yeah, since you were, like, 10.
What?
Younger?
You were ever going with your mum to the bookies
and picking three or four horses?
Adam's been doing tax returns since he was six,
just because of all the winnings.
But like you used to have to, so you'd choose,
let's say the tax was 10% or whatever.
It's probably different, but like if you put a quid bet on,
then you could choose to put the tax on then of an extra 10p
and pay £1.10, or you would pay 10% if you won.
So if you won 10 quid, there's more of a gamble.
So,
when you were betting
on the Grand National,
how old, 10?
I mean, probably younger.
How do you know?
Were you based on the name of the horse?
How do you think I pick horses now?
I don't know.
I mean, I'd probably go with
the colour of the top.
Yeah.
On the jockey.
Like, normally I look for a horse
that's got a name
that might be important to my life. What do you mean important? So, like normally I look for a horse that's got a name that might be important
to my life
what are you important
so like
there'll be a horse
called like
Anne's Wish
I mean mum was called Anne
so I'm like right
I'll have Anne's Wish
oh fair enough
I'd stand outside the bookies
and go mum
put these bets on
because you're like
yeah you can't come in
did you ever win
I've never
up until I think this year
this year was the first year
ever
that I've won money on the Grand National.
You won 100 quid on a horse called Colossal Cock.
Because it's what Dan's mum was going to do.
Yeah, that's what I do.
I used to win a lot.
Norma's wish.
But I used to put like 50p,
you know, you'd win like six quid
and you'd just have sweet money.
Yeah, fuck, that's all right.
It was great.
You used to go to Sayers as well.
Who put it on?
Me mum.
Would they not ask questions that kids were in the betting shop? No, I wasn't allowed in. I'd stand outside. Oh, you'd stand outside. You'd bring to Sayers as well. Who put it on? Me mum. Would they not ask questions
that kids were in the bedding shop?
No, I wasn't allowed in.
That's the not side.
Oh, it's the other side.
She'd bring the slip out
and I'd go, I don't know them for
and she'd go and put it on.
And she'd bring out the bevs and stuff.
Wasn't a pub.
Yeah.
She'd go in, put the bet on,
we'd go to Sayers,
get a cake and we'd watch the game.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, because in Oz,
all the bedding bits are in the pub.
You bet in the pub
and there's a section of the pub
that has a bedding.
Which, by the way, sounds fucking well better.
What a country.
All bookies are in the pub.
Yeah, so you go to a certain pub,
but with like a nice hotel pub kind of thing.
It's a bit bigger where you can have a proper sit-down meal,
like a nice pub.
And they'll have a section in the corner.
And it's like usually the big sports bars.
Like a sports book.
The sports bars, all the tellies are around the corner. Oh, so it's like usually the big sports bars the sports bars
all the tellies are around
the corners
oh so it's like Vegas
like a sports book in Vegas
yeah
that's what most of them are
no we've got betting shops
and they're all grim
apart from like
the occasional one
where Ladbrokes
have spent money on it
there's one in
Manchester City Centre
that's sick
like it's like
I think it might be
one of their flagship ones
I love a book
it's class
for every year a grubby little William Hill in the middle of fucking nowhere it's like, I think it might be one of their flagship ones. I love a bucket. It's classic. For every year.
Oh,
a grubby little William Hill
in the middle of fucking nowhere.
It's full of sad people.
Oh,
it's grim.
Tuesday afternoon.
When you used to be able
to smoke in there as well,
like,
oh.
When me and Soph went to Ireland,
we went to meet
her great uncle
and her great aunt
out in the middle
of fucking nowhere.
And,
um,
we'll drive around.
I am listening,
but I'm putting a bat on you
went and saw
great aunt
and she goes
oh Tommy's around
at the
you know
at the bedding shop
so we went around there
and he comes out
he's like
who are you
he's like
oh we're
you know
he's like
great niece
blah blah blah
he's like
okay
stood for a photo
I've got bets on
and just left
and went straight back in didn't even want to have a chat fucking respecter he doesn't want to know you he died like I stood for a photo I've got bets on and just left and went straight back in
didn't even want to have a chat
fucking respect that
he doesn't want to know yet
he died like I think a year later
he's read that book
Kyle's reading
yeah
oh yeah yeah
and he died a year later
no but this thing
this guy
was like
at the end of his tenure
and he didn't give a fuck
and I was like
I envy just how
he was just like
this is my day
I don't care
who I'm meeting
I'm having my fucking time to myself.
It's the epitome of what we were talking about.
Yeah.
So there's a race in 12 minutes
and I've just put a bet on a horse called the Kings
and is the Grand National today?
It's that one.
What?
The Grand National today, no,
but there's horse racing every day.
Well, he said he's putting a race now.
We have more than one horse race a year.
It's a fucking Wednesday afternoon, Thomas.
It's the Grand National.
No, it's not, Tom.
There's loads of races.
There's loads of fucking...
They're all over the world as well.
No, but Ascot's like...
I feel like Ascot's on every fucking other day.
Every other day, Ascot it is, yeah.
It's on tomorrow.
Chains every week.
It's Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday,
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.
But it's not once a year.
No, they have meets.
They have race meets.
Right.
Like half a dozen, 10, 15 a year or whatever.
Chester races is on every three days. Is the Grand National the biggest one?
Is that like the pinnacle?
Chester Races is not on every few days.
The Grand National is probably the most famous one.
It's the most famous steeplechase in the world.
And then the Cheltenham Gold Cup is like the prestigious one.
Is it the biggest payout?
For the riders?
Yeah.
The Gold Cup.
Couldn't tell you about the horses.
Is it the Wimbledon of horses?
No.
Cheltenham Gold Cup is the one.
They win the Grand National.
The Grand National is not the best horses.
It's the biggest spectacle one,
but the horses that are in the Grand National
aren't the best horses.
Are they not?
No, no, no.
I didn't know that.
They're steeplechase horses, aren't they?
The ones in the Cheltenham Gold Cup are the absolute...
They're the Ferraris and Lamborghinis of horses.
Terrible analogy.
But do you know what I mean?
This is the Lamborghini of horses.
Am I wrong?
I thought the Cheltenham Gold Cup was like the absolute...
What's a big risk, isn't it?
It's going to die in the Grand National.
Yeah, it's a million pounds split between the first 10 horses.
So the winner gets...
100k per horse?
516 grand for the winner of the grand national
is that it
what
half a million
half a million
what's a horse
going to do with that money
anyway
it's a lot of
fucking outs
the horse gets
the prize
that's sound man
it's not the jockey
the jockey just gets
a fee from the
stable doesn't it
I know you have to
could you find out
what the Cheltenham
Gold Club is
are you actually
having me on right now?
Yeah.
Of course it is.
Like a yacht.
You just meant it was the actual horse.
625 grams.
Oh, it's not much more.
Chester Aces is on 11 times a year,
by the way.
Yeah, feels like it.
About once a month.
Yeah.
How much money would you make
as a jockey, you reckon?
Like, over a lifetime?
Is it like a sustainable income
or do you have to work
at fucking somewhere else
in part-time?
You've got to get taken on
by a really good stable,
haven't you?
Like, what's the,
what did Frankie DeTore
ride for?
Godolphin, which is,
is it the Dubai?
Aussie Dolphins.
He rode dolphins
and that's how he won so much.
£27,800,
but that's two years ago,
so there's probably inflation.
Probably around £30,000 a year.
Wow.
That's for an average jockey.
That's not for Frankie Dottori.
The average flat jockey.
That sounds like an insult.
What about the big titted ones?
What do you reckon would happen to your balls
over that amount of time?
Do you know what I mean?
The horse or the jockey?
What?
The jockey.
The horse or the jockey?
The jockey.
Because you've got to think
They're constantly
Smacking your ass down
On the seat
You can't
That can't be good for you
They're cupped up aren't they
And most jockeys
Are like legal dwarves
So they probably
Have little balls
They say like
They're worried about them
Over time
Your jizz would be like
Milkshake
Milkshake jizz
They've got smaller balls
Little people Yeah of course they have Are you sure? You like milkshake? Milkshake? Jesus. They've got smaller balls? Who?
Little people?
Yeah, of course they have.
Are you sure?
Have small people got smaller balls?
I don't know.
I think it shrinks all of it.
I don't know.
Them.
What do you mean?
Can't update on Frankie Dottori if you want, my man.
Yeah, please.
Do-do-do-do-do.
Frankie Dottori of Dave want my man Frankie Dottori
can't tell me that like dwarves
walking around with 7 inch cocks
I'd be mental
I think there's some
genuinely
google the dwarves have been cockspin
you get the fucking good shit
we've had a naughty week this week
this isn't the patron exclusive
dwarfism
does not affect the size of the genitals
class
so they've all got big cocks
comparatively
this thing about you being a dwarf is checking out innit
big head big cock
just a big dwarf
on reddit there's do the m word have normal sized penises big head, big cock. Just a big dwarf? No. On Reddit,
there's,
do,
yeah,
M word,
have normal sized penises?
No.
It's all right.
Frankie Dottori,
Dan,
got paid 160 pounds for a race,
but he'd get 10%
of whatever the horse made.
Right,
so the absolute bare minimum,
that's probably like
the union bare minimum.
160 quid.
But he was riding for the shake of,
you know, one of them.
You know, Alderbydabidabum.
Over there.
The United...
160 quid, yeah.
That's mad, that.
No, but then he's getting 10% of...
It's danger with that, isn't it?
I wonder they're fucking dragging it off,
like fucking get over there.
Fucking Brent's on the line, mate.
Yeah, so if he won the Grand National,
he's making 50 grand.
Still a lot. That's like their biggest day as well.. Yeah, so if he won the Grand National, he's making 50 grand. Mm-hmm.
Still a lot.
That's like their biggest day as well.
Like, he might only win that fucking, you know... How many times Frankie Dottori won that?
Like, three.
So he's 150 grand this year in his career.
Is that a famous guy?
Frankie Dottori.
Yeah, he's like one of the best jockeys of all time.
Is that the Michael Jordan of jockeys?
Yeah.
But smaller. Right. Michael Jordan's farockeys? Yeah. But smaller.
Right.
Michael Jordan's far too tall to be a jockey.
6'6"?
Yeah.
Jockeys average around 5'3".
5'3"?
Yeah.
Okay.
No, well smaller.
Do you reckon?
Yeah.
No.
What?
Hang on, what?
5'3"?
Smaller than 5'3"? 5'4". Frankie Torey's 5'3". Smaller than 5'3".
5'4".
Frankie, sorry, he's 5'4".
No, no, no.
He's big.
That's his Tinder profile, maybe, maybe.
We are his Tinder profile.
How big do you think jockeys are?
Like fucking little GI Joes?
Just sellotape them to the back of a horse?
They're small.
They're not fucking...
He thinks they're that big.
Where's the fucking...
You go,
160 pounds
you'll make if you win this race.
Go on.
Tell them Gold Cup's about to start.
Where's the fucking jockey?
Oh, he's in your wallet.
Jesus Christ.
Did he pay to look?
God,
you were like four foot.
No, you did not.
I swear.
S is four foot.
Five three,
isn't that small though
average
average
you're five eight
five eight
so Frankie Dottori's
four
there's a bigger difference
between Jack and Dan
than Dan and
Frankie Dottori
you're just slamming Dan
anyway I'm an inch
shorter than him
fuck
you're only what
five eight
I'm up here
at five nine
you're lucky he can'8 I'm up here at 5'9 you're lucky
he can even see you
down there
fucking hell
the average
Frankie Dottori
is quite tall
for a jockey
the average jockey
oh no
if he's right
it's going to do my head
he's nowhere near right
the average jockey
is 5'1
what
5'1 is the average
5'1
I thought
it was 3'2 5'1 5'1 could have been a j1 is the average. 5'1". I thought it was 3'2".
My mom could have been a jockey.
She was a belted jockey.
She was an absolute jockey almost.
The female jockeys are bigger.
Average.
So she wouldn't have qualified.
Why does that work?
Oh, because they weigh less.
Yeah.
All right.
This is a serious question.
I'm not being a dickhead.
Are the horses all similar size?
Are they the same breed?
Same type of horse?
They're all horses.
They're all fast ones.
Yeah, but do you know what I mean?
You're not going to have a fucking Clydesdale.
You're not going to have a Shire horse, no.
You're going to have a fucking nice racing horse.
Slow and steady.
You know how you've got,
if all the jockeys are around 5'1",
are all the horses the same height?
That's a good question.
I don't actually know the answer to that.
The reason I ask is because you know how in the F1,
the car has to weigh a certain amount,
the driver has to weigh a certain amount.
It's all measured before and after the race.
No, the driver doesn't have to weigh a certain amount.
Well, to make sure the weight...
No, they don't.
You can be any size and be a Formula 1 driver.
They're not going, you're too fat.
Oh, yeah. You can be tall size and be a formula one driver they're not going you're too fat oh yeah oh yeah because if you some of them you can be tall and still be a formula one driver they'd rather you were small and light yeah they're not like a six foot six
driver in though are they like there is a height limit the reason these are small is because it's
better thoroughbreds the horse the type of horse right and that's like 99% of them. And you said it's shyer horses?
No, I was joking.
Oh, do they want the pole stuff?
Yeah.
No, they're just really quiet.
Have you turned off yet?
I feel like that alarm's broken.
You said shyer horse? I was like shy. You said shy a horse?
I was like shy.
Oh, shy.
Thomas, how much of this have you missed?
I'm not going to lie.
Quite a lot.
But it's been entertaining.
You've been great.
Have a break, boys.
I'm just watching you guys.
A lot of it's just gone over my head.
I think we've sent each other insane.
I think this is nearly five years
of doing this
we're all like
I feel like I've walked in today
yeah
there's definitely a vibe
of you all
we've all been like
locked in or something
it's a bit hot innit
you finished that
it's beautiful today
it's no heavy on like
I tell you what
it's no sneak
Drake what sex play give us it I like what it's no sneak Craig
what section

I like it

what is it
what section is it
come on
oh wow
there you go
I thought you said
what's the sex

I like it
that's what I thought
he said
I'm not good at
sex me
what do we usually do
in this section
we usually do
room 102 um Thomas is there anything you want to get Sex me. What do we usually do in this section? We usually do Room 102.
Thomas, is there anything you want to get in the fucking bin for eternity?
Yeah.
You know, very specific, but delivery drivers who say,
or delivery riders even, it could be food,
it could be clothing or something.
And they say
they've delivered it
to a safe place
and they haven't delivered
it to a safe place.
Like where's
not a safe place?
So I live on a high street
and they put it
on my doorstep
on a fucking high street
and say it's in a safe space.
I'm like,
God, it's not.
It's a high street.
Do you know what you do there?
You get home
and go, the package wasn't there and they send you it again. Oh, that's not. It's a high street. Do you know what you do there? You get home and go,
the package wasn't there
and they send you it again.
Oh, that's not bad.
Well, the worst one I had was,
you know, the boat show
in London,
the comedy club.
I was on there
and I ordered a Nando's there
and the guy left my Nando's
on embankment
on the wall next to the Thames
and said he left it in a safe space.
It went out.
It fucking wasn't there.
It wasn't there.
Seagulls have got it.
Fucking Nando's was gone.
Do you really live on a high street?
Yeah.
That's mental.
Why?
As in like Church Street here.
That's our high street.
Like where Primark is here.
Oh yeah, but in a village high street,
like a little town, not a city.
What shops are near? Huh. What shops are near?
Huh?
What shops are near?
I'm next door to a bridal shop.
Where are you in London, Thomas?
I'm in Hertfordshire, in Birkhamstead, a little town,
about a half hour out of London.
Oh, I know Birkhamstead.
Yeah, it's Birko.
But everyone thinks I'm being Aussie saying it's called Birko,
but that's because it's all poshies there.
It's quite posh.
Yeah, they call it Birko.
Birko. It isn't a safe space. Yeah, they call it Berco. Berco.
It isn't a safe space.
They're not going to nick anything.
They're like, I don't want to fucking take that.
Yeah, you know, it's got everything, Finn.
It's got like HSBC.
What?
Everything.
Have a Bible song.
You get your money, you buy your dress, you go home.
What more do you want?
Groceries? Shut up, love. They tell you what more do you want groceries shut up love
do I tell you what
they do in Japan
with safety
if you drop money
on the floor
no
if you drop money
on the floor
say like an hour
20 quid
if you go to
the nearest police station
someone's handed it in
no
yep
nope
yep
see
if they fire money
on the floor
they take it to the
nearest police station
no
you just said
you did it you dropped money and it to the nearest police station. You just said you did it.
You dropped money,
and then you went to police station.
Wallet's different.
But if you drop a thousand yen,
they will take it to the...
You'd have dishonest people
going to the cop shop.
That was my first thought, by the way.
Why don't we all just fly to Japan,
do a lap of all the busy stations,
and come back a billionaire?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because they're so honest,
they expect everyone to be honest.
Who will I'm not?
What's the flights?
Yeah.
Fucking hell, this is a great scheme.
I would love to see the conversation
in a Japanese police station
where no one speaks English
and Adam's like, money, lad.
Yen.
My yen.
Gizzy.
I dropped it where
everywhere
fucking all over the gaff
they just say where was it
and when
and you say it was by the
HSBC at two o'clock
and they go
yeah someone's handed it
I dropped my wallet
at the Edinburgh Festival
and someone put it
and put it
it's not a euphemism

oh right oh imagine they put it in the bucket and looked boss but it was your show no they gave it to the police station oh right
oh imagine they put it in the bucket
and looked boss
but it was your money
that would be so good
a guy got robbed in Glasgow
and the guy
he took his wallet off him
and the guy robbed him
looked at him
and felt bad for the guy
and took a tenner out
of the guy's wallet
and said get home safe
oh that's lovely
isn't that so fucking nice
that's like such a nice mugging
yeah
it's kind of nice is it quite yeah it's like such a nice mugging yeah it's kind of nice
is it quite
yeah it's just stole a tenner
no no
no no
he gave him a tenner
he gave him his own tenner back
oh that's lovely
he stole his wallet
and then said
hang on
here's ten pound back
yeah yeah
saying get home
isn't it lovely
it's so nice
I mean that's nicer
than danger
danger's out of you
never know who you might run into
do you know what
I walk you home
fucking horrible
these cunts
and now that we're here
give us all your stuff
out your house
you could leave
your laptop
in a shop
or a Mahi's
or a Starbucks
and leave
and it wouldn't have
like
genuinely
there's no crime
what Liverpool
no
not in Liverpool
where
oh Japan
yeah
yeah right
or on the banks
of the Thames
I've seen it
it's a weird feeling
when you get used to it
people just respect
other people's
things
and kids are allowed
to just walk to the shops
and back into school
they just put a yellow jacket on
a yellow coat
and everyone just looks
after them
so incompetent
the yellow jacket
is like
this is a child
yeah
not a jockey
on a holiday
because otherwise
come on
let's get you to school
I'm a fucking jockey
love
should I enjoy
a fucking holiday
yeah everyone just
looks out for each other
it's dead nice
I mean obviously
there's bad things
but
we would all
take the opportunity
but a lot of people
in the UK
be like
oh there's 50 quid
on the floor there,
I'm just going to put it in my pocket and keep it.
Yeah, 100% I'd do it.
Yeah.
Not if you saw the...
Not the person who dropped it.
No.
If I see, I'd run after them.
But I'm not picking up and being like,
who's this?
And having someone else
who just wants to come on over
and go, that's mine.
It's not yours.
It's mine.
It's got to be your first day out.
Everyone!
Everyone on Church Street.
Everyone! Drop 50 quid here. It's got to be your first day out. Everyone! Everyone on Church Street. Everyone!
Drop 50 quid here.
It's got the king's head on it.
Man, that one.
Yeah.
Yeah, just honesty.
It's lovely, isn't it?
Yeah, but then all Japanese people
end up killing themselves, don't they?
It's not a good system.
Every time.
It's not a good system.
It's 100% suicide rate.
Everyone kills themselves.
Yeah?
Idiots. Maybe if you kept money, they'd be happy and wouldn Everyone kills themselves. Wow. Yeah?
Idiots.
Maybe if they kept
money they'd be happy
and wouldn't kill
themselves.
But there is
something about
Japanese society
that makes them
all moody.
The work ethic.
Yeah.
The work ethic
and the honesty.
Everyone needs to
be able to lie
and have a lie down.
They love their
karaoke.
Yeah.
Invented that.
Yeah.
Karaoke can do
so much.
No but
like apparently that's why they so much no but like apparently
that's why they do it
is to like
like release
after work and stuff
because they
do I get bladdered
and go to karaoke
yeah yeah
to help
they've all worked
18 hour shifts
yeah
18 hours
they'll happily work
a 16 18 hour shift
not happily
that's my point
they do kill themselves
yeah
they work long
they're hard
we work hard
not us
but people who work
nine to five
in the UK
like she's a time
they'll work seven to nine
and go I'll get it done
in the 16 hours
they don't do any more work
do they retire younger
no
right
they don't want days off
they all throw themselves
out of a blue
from the 42
do they get a weekend off
yeah but they don't
one time off
there was a
typhoon when we were there.
Biggest typhoon in years.
And we were given the day off work
and people were complaining
that they didn't want the day off.
Are they just a nation of lizards?
What's going on?
Why are they doing this?
It's all about keeping up appearances.
I work hard for my family.
Yeah, okay.
Why would you want a day off
when there's a fucking typhoon, can't? Because they don't want to like you're not going to go to work again if you
get swept up in the fucking atmosphere it's gonna be a typhoon i might as well be in the office
yeah i can't go to the beach can i hang on what's the typhoon loads of rain it's essentially their
way for the hurricane yeah all right so it's well yeah because australians get typhoons too
yeah yeah it's just a different way for the same thing.
Is it?
It's a bad storm.
It's a big bad storm, yeah.
The big bad storm.
It's fucked.
But yeah, it's just lovely.
So let's put delivery drivers in room 102.
Go on.
I think they can go in.
Yeah, those ones.
I've had people put stuff in my bin and say it's a safe place can you tell me like an electronics company that makes like phones
in Thailand

Do a bit of dishes for me.
Unbelievable.

We've given it a year.
Next one.
Any more?
Oh, next one. Cyclists. No next one any more oh next one
cyclists
no
we're all cyclists
no we're not
what the fuck
I hate me
cyclists can
fork off
a cyclist got off
kind of
I live on a one way road
and they're like
oh I'm going to rant
I warned you
but I also want to
they want to break the rules
and
oh it does my fucking head in.
And do you know what the worst ones are on the country roads and the lanes
and they just don't fucking move out the way.
And it's like, and then in London.
How can we move out the way?
Huh?
How can we move out the way?
There's a curb.
What do you mean?
When I'm on my bike and you're behind me going,
where am I meant to go?
That's safe.
Not there.
But I've got just as much right
to be on the road as you.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
If you weren't on the road at all,
it would be such a better situation.
It's a kind of a valid point.
They are annoying.
Just eradicate.
You're saying put them in the room.
They're not on the road anymore.
They're environmentally friendly.
They're doing charitable work.
I don't see the problem.
They're also told to be too abreast now as well not behind each other shut
the fuck up yeah no yeah that's the worst thing i've ever heard i don't know it's in the new
pedestrian laws that came out last year they've been encouraged to be too abreast rather than
before i rode on road rode my bike on roads yeah i genuinely I was like why are you so far over
and some of the
the grids
for like the rain water
they're so
like
the drains
them yeah
yeah the drains
it's usually stuff
when it wets
comes from the sky
but when there's a typhoon
I've tried cycling
in a typhoon
the grids for the rain water
the grids for the rain water
yeah that's the stuff
they're thin and they're in the same shape
Like you can't go over them
You have to
You have to go round them
You can't go under it
Like it's
I had an argument the other day
With a driver
And you get like
Told me I was too far
Into the middle of the road
But you're like
I don't want to go
Head over fucking heels
A driver?
Yeah
Oh you're on your bike?
Yeah
So he was like
Mate
Hey
You're going gotta get yourself
fucking killed there
you're in the middle of the road
and I went
I'm not in the middle of the road
I'm over to the side
but I can't go any more
over to the side
because there's cars
parked around the whole
fucking park
and doors just open
you're also allowed
in the middle of the road
you're not
yeah
you're allowed
you can go there
if you don't like
peace of mind
also
20 miles an hour
is the speed limit
not a target
it's a goal
he's a new fucking new person don't like peace of mind also 20 miles an hour is the speed limit it's not a target it's a goal he's a new fucking
new person
don't become a cyclist
I am a cyclist
I've got to be
you've got a bike
trying to save these babies
mate

We're going to India to cycle around India for charity.
You're going from here to India?
No, we're going.
Well, we are, yeah, but that's on a plane.
Okay.
I was going to say, fuck, that's a ride.
Yeah, we're doing 450k.
You're right. In India?
Yeah.
On their roads?
No, ours.
We're taking our roads over as well.
No.
Are you fucking for real?
Like in those intersections.
Have you been to India?
Shut the fuck up.
No.
No, I haven't.
Looks wild though.
What?
Those roads?
Those intersections?
Never seen them.
I've seen them on docos.
It's wild, isn't it?
Fuck, yes.
This podcast called down in November.
Tigers.
Fuck me.
We're going to a tiger park as well?
Yeah, yeah.
On your bikes?
Yeah.
What the fuck?
Are you guys playing
your final ever
patron special?
Because this will be it.
Possibly.
Yeah.
Well, the funeral
of one of us
is going to be the last one.
The tigers only kill
the slowest one.
Just have to not
be the slowest one.
And Finn's not even
started training.
You're just like, When are you going?
November.
You haven't started?
He hasn't even got a bike yet.
I'll figure it out.
I'll figure it out.
You'll figure it out.
You know what's about the bike?
Yeah, you can't forget, can you?
Thomas, we can't put cyclists in
because we've all inadvertently become fucking cyclists.
Well, I didn't know this.
You still get my advice.
I'll tell you what, though. When there's about 40 of them and they're trying to look like the peloton they're coming to the
coffee shop just chill and they're walking they're fucking like her the ball's fucking hanging and
what i don't fuck i'm trying to have a coffee here i don't need to see you all walking in go oh yes
um hello hi yeah uh just fuck off oh because they cycle up to burko from like fucking london yeah or just
burko is quite posh oh hey so you get a lot of that people right now and you can hear him
well you can hear him like you can hear him chatting down the high street on their bikes
like but they don't chat they fucking yell at each other in conversation yeah and then and then
basically oh it's it's the worst i might just fuck off i don't surely you only get like 0.5 a second of that
conversation that's more than enough do you know what i mean i can't vote myself into room one or
not a cyclist she's gonna buy the children hoodies you're doing a charity a good thing
one off you're not gonna get on a bike again, are you?
That is a fact.
I'm a cyclist for life, I think. And, can I also point out, actually, do you know what?
You're not even doing it in this country. He's cycling to
golf. He won't stop.
But you're not doing it in this country.
Right now he is. So it doesn't
affect me, you being in India.
So I want you to get my vote, I hate cyclists.
Especially around the park. Fuck off.
Cyclists on UK roads.
Make it more specific.
I'm voting for it.
Put it in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Two all.
I'm going.
He doesn't get to vote for his own thing.
Of course he doesn't.
I've got a very generic one.
Like a big,
big stroke
or a very specific one.
Go on.
Big stroke.
Big stroke.
All fucking religion.
Just fuck off. The world would be such a better place. It's the root of all evil. Big stroke. All fucking religion. Just fuck off.
The world would be such a better place.
It's the root of all evil.
It is.
Yeah, man.
Do you think it would?
Do you think the world would be a better place without religion?
I do.
You think about how many wars are started based on religion.
Yeah, but do you not think they're just fucking psychopaths
who would just cause them anyway?
Cause they're over something else.
Yeah, but I'm talking about through all of history.
Yeah.
You go right back and it's people starting wars based on religion.
Think about the secretarism even within countries and stuff.
They'd have found reasons for war.
They'd find it.
That's just humanity, isn't it?
I'm not saying there isn't evil and that people aren't fucking stupid,
but I think it takes away a lot of that control that they had,
especially before people could read and stuff.
And the priests and stuff used to tell,
before they converted the Bible from Latin to English, right,
they would tell the congregation what it said
and they would lie to them, right?
And then that's why the guys who translated it into English,
they ended up being beheaded
because they fucking went against the church, so to speak,
because they made the word of God readily available for everyone.
Says nothing about the priests getting free blowjobs in this, John.
You're a liar!
I've been through this whole book.
But I'm not saying it would cure everything,
but I just think religion can...
I was desperate.
Yeah, where does it say in the Bible
that the high priest should be in a massive hat
in a golden fucking stage?
I really feel like the word of Jesus got mangled.
I think it's on the back.
I think it's in the blurb.
Some twat in a big hat getting his ring kissed.
Back to Adam's earlier point.
I just feel like it's just been mangled isn't it
the actual teachings of Jesus
if you follow them
fucking great
very positive
loving
caring
and then just
it's been
molested over time
by a church
who's gone
yeah we could use that
just take all these
folks money
who made the rules
who made like the
man
commandments
not Jesus
but don't you think though
you could do good you don't attend commandments who was that moses was he a part of jesus
oh lord now we're going way back is that's old testament that's what i'm saying it's like
different so he's pre-jesus yeah he's like the Jew times. I mean, yeah.
They're still now, aren't they?
No, but the Old Testament is just the Jew book, isn't it?
Yeah.
It is, yeah.
Moses is, yeah.
It's the Hebrews.
I'm just wondering.
It's a load of shite, isn't it?
I'm just wondering who did it.
But all of those teachings, probably not bad things.
If you read the Bible, the New Testament, the actual teachings of Jesus, very positive stuff. Not all of those teachings, probably not bad things. Like, if you read the Bible, like the New Testament,
the actual teachings of Jesus, very positive stuff.
Well, not all of it.
Some of it's fucking horrific.
Yeah, it was got a boss ox.
But that's the Old Testament, though.
Oh.
The New Testament is the teaching of Jesus,
the last four books.
Oh, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, you're saying the New Testament
in comparison to the Old Testament is a lot better.
I'm just saying, there's's very positive things about religion.
God found weed, didn't he, between those two books?
It just became a much more fucking...
That's what got me stuck in with it.
This new lad, I'm sending him out.
He's sound, he's got long hair, he's chill.
Loves a supper.
Good with wood. Carpenter.
Loves a supper.
If you are... A a supper. Good with wood. Carpenter. Loves a supper. If you are...
A fish supper.
Like, that's what got me sucked into the church and the cult
was that there is a good part of it that's so good with community
and community spirit and building and support
and all that sort of stuff.
And it is a lot of love.
And the people there, a lot of the people at the church
are fucking lovely people and they're meant well
and they are good people
you know what I mean
they're not inherently evil
or anything like that
and it's the leaders
of the church
that do the fucking
weird culty shit
where they're controlling
guilt
it's just a young man
that wanted to be part
of something
you could have joined
a cricket club
yeah yeah yeah
in Dan's dreams
but the cricket club
didn't have any of this
going on
did you get a six
you did what if he get a six he did
what
if he gets a six
he won't laugh
he's fucking nailed that
listen I'll stick religion in
yeah it's shite
it's horrible
and it winds
yeah I was just playing
devil's advocate
ironically
I think
if you take
people fight on behalf
I know you're about to
bang the gavel
but I was going to say you're about to win your point but if you take if you people fight on behalf of i know you're about to bang the gavel but i
was gonna say you're about to win your point but if you uh claim and fight over religion but then
people go yeah yeah but religion does so much good which is fair but they don't you don't have
to have religion to be a good person you should just be a good person you can do good do you know
what i'm saying the argument against that is where do you derive your moral code from, if not God?
A conscience.
Yeah.
Just human experience. Like in the Roman times, right?
There we go.
There we go.
When people used to watch, like, you know,
gladiators get fucking mauled by fucking horses and that.
Right.
Gladiators fought horses.
They used to watch humans die and they'd cheer. Yeah, but they were pagans. Yeah. horses and that gladiators fought horses
humans die
and they'd cheer
yeah but they were
pagans
yeah
do you mean
Romans
yeah
they weren't
Christians yet
yeah that's what I mean
but they were still
religious
right
yeah
but they didn't have
the model code
of Christianity
like don't kill John
but finish your point
with that
what what do you mean what he's saying is everything derives code of Christianity like don't kill John but finish your point with that what
what do you mean
what he's saying is
everything
everything derives
morally from
religion
so what is
what was the point
about gladiators
and horses
yo
but the thing is
I love seeing horses
fuck up a gladiator
so what do you do
with that
no what I'm saying is
people did like
watching that
because they didn't
have a moral code to follow.
All their moral code was not that of Christianity.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
But it's 2,000 years ago, isn't it?
It's just a different culture.
Completely different culture.
Yeah.
And they did have a code.
They had a religious code.
They had religion.
Right.
But they just had a different fucked up religion.
Right. What he's saying is all morality comes from... had a religious code they had religion right but they just had a different fucked up religion right
what he's saying is all moral morality you're saying just have a conscience but those people
back then didn't have a moral code to follow where that was against their conscience so against the
societal conscience it was not no but i think it's difficult to bring up sort of like ethics of Roman, like, you know?
Because that predates Christianity, which is my point.
So I can't bring up current stuff.
But we're talking about religion.
We're not just talking about Christianity, are we?
No.
We're putting all religion in, and they did have religion,
and they were still fucking.
But it was a shite one.
Oh, Christianity's a good one.
You're an idiot.
The model code of Christianity is good, isn't it?
Yeah.
We've got it as long as you're not gay.
But even most churches are pretty accepting of gay people.
They are now.
And?
They've changed the moral code.
Gladiator 2's coming out soon.
The Baptist Church.
Yeah.
What?
Gladiator 2's coming out soon.
Yeah.
Oh, my God!
All day!
Great. are we sponsored
by cinema
Paul Mescal as well
he's great
listen religion
you're in the fucking bin
yeah
but I tell you what's not
in the bin
I'd love to see a
gladiator fight a horse
fact
horses were involved
they were on the chariots
what
horses were on the chariots.
Did you just say horses were involved?
Involved.
Oh, my God.
He's right.
Horses were in the...
No, it's not right.
A horse didn't fight a gladiator.
You don't know that for a fact.
He made it out like a gladiator came out with a sword and a shield
and a horse came out going...
What the fuck?
It was Christians and lions.
And tigers and bears.
Oh, my.
Horses pulled the chariots that the guys were like, oh.
He made out like it was a horse fighting a fucking gladiator.
Oh, my.
You don't know that it wasn't?
You don't know that it was?
I didn't say that I do.
I didn't say that I didn't.
You did?
He's making out horses for the... They might have. We don't know. i didn't you did i'm he's making out horses for
they might have we don't know we went there well let's not talk about it then what a ridiculous
point i'm three from three by the way you are i got one more religion and this is a niche one
this is a niche one go on australian olympic break dancers, bless her. I'm sorry, but that.
You don't claim her.
I think she's done it on purpose.
Have you seen what happened?
It has to be.
Have you seen the conspiracy?
Well,
it's not even a conspiracy.
So the Australian Olympic team,
breakdancing was new for this Olympics.
The Australian Olympic committee went,
we need to figure out how we're going to select these people.
We'll go to Reagan,
who has a PhD in break breakdancing they went to
her and she went yes we should set up a committee uh i know these people that this that run this
breakdancing competition it's founded by her husband he was that he picked who it was and
he's picked her clever smart i mean the girl who she beat how good she is yeah the girl who should
have been there is unbelievable
like genuinely got a breakdown
because Australia is a country
of 25 million people
apparently Ray Gunn
won big competitions too
in Australia
it's just that
there was some
yeah
massive competition
she won
was her husband
the judge on that competition
because it sounds like
she's got it sewn up
yeah
but I mean
it's got to be part of me feels like it's got to beed up. Yeah. But I mean, it's got to be,
part of me feels like it's got to be some kind of like trick.
A bit.
Do you remember when Joaquin Phoenix did that thing
when he acted like he was going nuts
and it was a documentary that he'd done for a year.
For about a year and a half.
Yeah.
Did all the rapping and all that.
And he went on Letterman and was like mental.
Yeah.
All that went into, I've quit acting to be a rapper.
You think it's Joaquin Phoenix
dressed as an Australian breakdancer?
Well, he's a method actor.
But I feel like she could maybe be making
some epic doco.
I got into the Olympics.
Ooh.
She said she trained,
she even,
I think one of the interviews after
was just like,
people train for years in the Olympics.
I train,
I practice for 37 minutes.
It really came across on camera as well
do you know when
she's doing it
and the other persons
because they're there
aren't they
they're like
battling
it's the way she's like
hmm
yeah
she's like
yeah good moves
she must be thinking
ah
sort of fuck this
but like
is it just
has she just done it
on purpose
I think she's done it
for a while
no one thinks she's good who's seen her and they've all just gone through it funny great is it just has she just done it on purpose she doesn't I think she's done it for a while no one thinks she's good
who's seen her
and everyone's just gone
just do it
funny
I mean
she has gone viral
like
fucking
not a great way to go viral though
is it
no
it's funny
it's not offensive about it
she's just
there's loads of anti-bullying
like
I'm sorry
but the Olympics
yeah
because everyone's just
taking the piss
it takes away from the Olympics
of how fucking
this is people
who've been this is such a massive institution that's been around forever it's so fucking
amazing i love the olympics i was obsessed with as a kid and like people who dedicate their lives
to train for track swimming whatever fucking horses you know not fucking horses No not fucking them But then Welcome to the men's final Of the shagging horses
It also brings together
All these sports
That don't have that
Spotlight
Any other time
Yeah
But she's mocking it
And that's why
She's brought the light
To breakdancing
Everyone's now talking
About breakdancing
She's done more for
Breakdancing than
Diversity did
Hang on
But that's
No
But by being shit...
They've removed it from any future...
No, but...
It's because of it.
It doesn't bring respect to it.
If the UK entrant had gone out there and gone,
I'm going to do a breakdance,
and then pulled the pants down and shat on the stage...
Not the same.
False equivalence.
Tell you what, everyone's talking about breakdancing.
False equivalence.
Because Big Dave shat all over that stage.
That's a false equivalence.
That's a very fair point.
What do you mean?
Like, she's purposely gone on to not do well?
No, but she's gone on and been like,
oh, look, she's silly and shit, breakdancing.
Yeah, having a shit would be awful,
but she's still got us talking about breakdancing, hasn't she?
I think that would be class as well.
I don't think we'd have done an episode without mentioning it.
It's the better way of doing it.
I think she was great in all powers. It was the kangaroo hops that really oh it's the lion damn yeah that
where am i from fucking here mate i love it i missed the olympics it was pretty bad
and that outfit she wore was just like i don't know so you don't you don't claim it? You want it gone? I'm sorry.
It's not just... It feels harsh, but like fucking chuck Ray Gunn into Room 102.
Some bad stuff in there as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But like, I don't know.
I just feel like it's a piss take at the Olympics.
I thought she'd be a national hero now.
It seems like something Australia would embrace.
We're pretty serious about our sport.
Breakdancing?
Yeah.
People are fucking...
I've got really good evidence.
No, not breakdancing.
Didn't you come third in the medals table?
Like, Australia have done really well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fucking smashed it.
Considering how it's not the biggest population.
There's no Russia.
Per capita, UK are top, aren't they?
We...
Are they?
Per capita, UK is top, yeah. I know Are they? Per capita, UK is top, yeah.
I know, that must be Australia, actually,
because they've got a little smaller.
Can't be.
We've only got like 26 million.
Maybe that was halfway through then.
I think Ireland have done pretty well per capita.
Yeah.
Ireland did really well.
There's actually quite a few new countries as well
who got medals for the first time.
Yeah.
Obviously, St. Lucia.
Botswana.
Women's 100.
So the Botswana run fellas.
The Philippines got their first medal, didn't they?
The kid got $800,000.
Botswana run fella.
Did you know DePlantis, I think his name is?
The guy from Sweden who broke the pole vaulting world record?
Do you know how, if you have a look...
Yeah, we talked about it, yeah.
He gets a bit more payout from Adidas for every centimeter.
100 grand, yeah.
Is that true, yeah?
Yeah.
Each time he breaks the world record, he gets paid.
Oh, sorry.
When did you talk about this?
Today?
No, we mentioned it last week.
I wasn't there.
Oh, and you talked about the breakdancing last week?
No, no.
Just that world record.
Oh, okay.
Shall we do a few from the listeners?
Room 102, send them in at haveawordpod at gmail.com.
Chris says,
Room 102, camping holidays. Don't get me wrong. I wrong i love the great outdoors but fuck me camping holidays can get
in the bin when i'm on holiday i want to relax but everything is an effort while camping washing up
trek to the sinks shower trek to the showers need a piss in the night trek to the toilet blocks
plus i have to build my own fucking hotel just don't on it. I know that seems like it's against the spirit of this,
but room 102 or room 101 is supposed to be
things that you can't avoid in life.
Like cyclists can go in,
even though I'm one now and I'm going to fight you on it,
because they are an annoyance that you can't avoid.
You can just not go camping.
It's I don't want guitar lessons, isn't it?
I don't like camping and as a result, I just don't go.
Who said that one? Was that Scott Bennett?
Makes it easier.
What?
Scott Bennett said that one in.
It's just, just don't do it then.
I don't like getting stabbed.
Yeah.
Don't put it in room 102.
I just try and avoid it.
Karaoke.
I hate singing.
I sign up every time I go.
I go to a karaoke bar every Saturday night and I sing five songs a day.
Have you put food in there, though? All food. All food, yeah, in room 102. Every time I go, I go to a karaoke bar every Saturday night and I sing five songs of shit.
Have you put food in there, though?
All food.
All food, yeah, in room 102.
You've put food in?
No.
No, I thought you said, like, garnish. He's got a list of garnishes on, but that's the practice.
Yeah, but you could just not order that meal.
No, but that happens to you.
Order what meal?
It's unlisted.
It's unlisted?
It's not garnishes.
It's unlisted?
Here's the thing, Thomas.
If someone sprinkles coriander
all over my fucking butter chicken,
I'm fuming.
If they put on the menu,
garnished with coriander,
I'd go, listen, fella, yeah,
keep that shade to yourself.
And then everyone's happy.
Just list it.
Unlisted camping holidays
can get in Rome one or two.
If you book like a five-star resort
in the Maldives
and it's actually camping in North Wales,
that can go everywhere.
I put old people in there.
How would you end up in North Wales
instead of the Maldives though?
I was being silly, Thomas.
By the way, in the break,
I don't know if you can see it on the shot,
there's a cactus next to Thomas.
Oh, for fuck's sake. Thomas touched it it on the shot, there's a cactus next to Thomas. Oh, for fuck's sake.
Thomas touched it and went,
ow, that's a real cactus.
No, I walked into it and stabbed my leg.
That's like practice whether the hob's on with your face.
Just ask, is that a real cactus?
Oh, God.
It's real looking plants, real.

Blessings. yes alright enjoy Alchemy bye all I want is you to stay
I only see you for a day
When you look into my eyes
I hope there's nothing you despise
When you say you hate me more I hope there's nothing you despise
When you say you hate me more
I know it's cause I beat you out of evil
Everyday with you would not suffice Cause you're too nice
Gotta be more than just a roll of the dice
And I know you're
Living so far
Far away from my hometown
And it's not fair
Cause I miss you
What else am I to do?
It's not that different
Check out my blessings
And then I'm a part of one
If it was you
One, two, three, go
Last few years have been quite rough
Not many times I man can act so tough
See, I've been caught up in my head
This ever-pervading sense of dread
Instead of the angst, I'm feeling happy to stay
And I know you're living so far, far away from my hometown.
And it's not a fact that I miss you.
What else am I to do?
It's not that depressing
Check out my blessings
And find my father
Who on a film was you
In my head now
I can't be sure
I need time to work this out
In my head
Cause dishonesty
Will not be a trade of mine
Well yes I'm in love
I can't be sure
Don't need time to work this out
In my head
Cause dishonesty
Will not be a trade of mine.
And I know you're loving so far away from my hometown.
And it's not fair.
Girl, I miss you
What else am I to do?
It's not that deep, please
You can count my fears
And then my father
Won't let me lose you
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
