Starting point is 00:01:28 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.
Starting point is 00:01:43 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?
Starting point is 00:01:59 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.

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
Starting point is 00:02:45 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.
Starting point is 00:02:52 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
Starting point is 00:03:01 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.
Starting point is 00:03:15 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

Starting point is 00:04:00 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
Starting point is 00:04:08 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
Starting point is 00:04:18 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.
Starting point is 00:04:29 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?
Starting point is 00:04:39 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,
Starting point is 00:04:46 oh, gims exist. That's what you got from a coming of age. They nailed high school with that. Yeah. They fucking nailed it.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Yeah. Yeah. Have you heard Donovan speak? Yeah. It's mad. He's posh, isn't he? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:00 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
Starting point is 00:05:06 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
Starting point is 00:05:13 American Pie definitely had a I'd never heard the phrase MILF before American Pie like it it was it was massive in 97
Starting point is 00:05:23 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.
Starting point is 00:05:32 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?
Starting point is 00:05:40 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
Starting point is 00:05:50 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.
Starting point is 00:05:59 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
Starting point is 00:06:09 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
Starting point is 00:06:20 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.
Starting point is 00:06:30 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.
Starting point is 00:06:38 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.
Starting point is 00:06:45 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.
Starting point is 00:06:53 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.
Starting point is 00:07:01 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.
Starting point is 00:07:09 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
Starting point is 00:07:23 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?
Starting point is 00:07:53 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...
Starting point is 00:08:03 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.
Starting point is 00:08:11 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.
Starting point is 00:08:23 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.
Starting point is 00:08:33 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
Starting point is 00:08:42 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.
Starting point is 00:08:56 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.
Starting point is 00:09:14 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?
Starting point is 00:09:20 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.
Starting point is 00:09:32 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.
Starting point is 00:09:42 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.
Starting point is 00:09:54 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.
Starting point is 00:10:05 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.
Starting point is 00:10:18 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
Starting point is 00:10:33 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.
Starting point is 00:10:53 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?
Starting point is 00:11:05 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!
Starting point is 00:11:14 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?
Starting point is 00:11:40 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,
Starting point is 00:11:53 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.
Starting point is 00:12:01 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
Starting point is 00:12:18 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.
Starting point is 00:12:25 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?
Starting point is 00:12:37 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.
Starting point is 00:12:55 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.
Starting point is 00:13:09 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.
Starting point is 00:13:21 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
Starting point is 00:13:39 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.

Starting point is 00:15:05 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.
Starting point is 00:15:15 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.
Starting point is 00:15:22 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
Starting point is 00:15:36 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?
Starting point is 00:15:50 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?
Starting point is 00:16:03 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.
Starting point is 00:16:19 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,
Starting point is 00:16:31 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
Starting point is 00:16:46 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
Starting point is 00:16:54 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
Starting point is 00:17:04 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.
Starting point is 00:17:21 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.
Starting point is 00:17:39 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.
Starting point is 00:18:08 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.
Starting point is 00:18:18 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,
Starting point is 00:18:30 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.
Starting point is 00:18:42 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
Starting point is 00:18:58 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.
Starting point is 00:19:13 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?
Starting point is 00:19:31 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?
Starting point is 00:19:41 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.
Starting point is 00:19:49 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.
Starting point is 00:19:58 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
Starting point is 00:20:04 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?
Starting point is 00:20:19 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.
Starting point is 00:20:31 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
Starting point is 00:20:57 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?
Starting point is 00:21:19 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?
Starting point is 00:21:32 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.

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

Starting point is 00:22:54 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
Starting point is 00:23:10 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.
Starting point is 00:23:32 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

Starting point is 00:24:16 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
Starting point is 00:24:39 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
Starting point is 00:24:50 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
Starting point is 00:24:58 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
Starting point is 00:25:05 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?
Starting point is 00:25:48 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.
Starting point is 00:26:03 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
Starting point is 00:26:17 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.
Starting point is 00:26:30 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?
Starting point is 00:26:42 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?
Starting point is 00:26:56 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
Starting point is 00:27:08 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
Starting point is 00:27:17 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
Starting point is 00:27:25 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.
Starting point is 00:27:54 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
Starting point is 00:28:13 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...
Starting point is 00:28:24 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.
Starting point is 00:28:53 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.
Starting point is 00:29:10 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.
Starting point is 00:29:24 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.
Starting point is 00:29:36 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
Starting point is 00:29:59 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?
Starting point is 00:30:16 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?
Starting point is 00:30:24 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.
Starting point is 00:30:35 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!
Starting point is 00:30:51 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.
Starting point is 00:31:01 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
Starting point is 00:31:24 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.
Starting point is 00:31:35 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
Starting point is 00:31:57 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.
Starting point is 00:32:14 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
Starting point is 00:32:32 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
Starting point is 00:32:49 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
Starting point is 00:33:01 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.
Starting point is 00:33:31 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
Starting point is 00:33:49 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
Starting point is 00:34:03 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.
Starting point is 00:34:16 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
Starting point is 00:34:41 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.
Starting point is 00:34:59 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.
Starting point is 00:35:14 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
Starting point is 00:35:30 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
Starting point is 00:35:47 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
Starting point is 00:36:10 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
Starting point is 00:36:19 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
Starting point is 00:36:32 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?
Starting point is 00:36:53 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
Starting point is 00:37:09 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
Starting point is 00:37:16 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
Starting point is 00:37:21 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.
Starting point is 00:37:29 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
Starting point is 00:37:40 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
Starting point is 00:37:48 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.
Starting point is 00:37:56 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.
Starting point is 00:38:02 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?
Starting point is 00:38:12 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.
Starting point is 00:38:20 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.
Starting point is 00:38:35 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.
Starting point is 00:38:42 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
Starting point is 00:38:49 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
Starting point is 00:38:57 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.
Starting point is 00:39:08 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.
Starting point is 00:39:24 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
Starting point is 00:39:31 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
Starting point is 00:39:38 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.
Starting point is 00:39:46 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
Starting point is 00:39:56 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?
Starting point is 00:40:04 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.
Starting point is 00:40:30 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.
Starting point is 00:40:38 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.
Starting point is 00:41:05 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?
Starting point is 00:41:15 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
Starting point is 00:41:25 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
Starting point is 00:41:34 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
Starting point is 00:41:45 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?
Starting point is 00:42:15 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
Starting point is 00:42:26 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
Starting point is 00:42:34 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
Starting point is 00:42:42 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?
Starting point is 00:42:54 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
Starting point is 00:43:11 one Wunderkind that's like an unbelievable footballer and scores 31 goals for Celtic just imagining someone else
Starting point is 00:43:19 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
Starting point is 00:43:27 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
Starting point is 00:43:39 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...
Starting point is 00:43:47 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.
Starting point is 00:44:02 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
Starting point is 00:44:30 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?
Starting point is 00:44:42 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.
Starting point is 00:44:53 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,
Starting point is 00:45:05 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
Starting point is 00:45:33 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

Starting point is 00:46:22 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
Starting point is 00:46:32 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,

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
Starting point is 00:46:45 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
Starting point is 00:46:52 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
Starting point is 00:46:58 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
Starting point is 00:47:07 this is way more normal than pretend you no I think playing food Lancashire being able being able to just sleep
Starting point is 00:47:14 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
Starting point is 00:47:21 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.
Starting point is 00:47:28 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?
Starting point is 00:47:40 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
Starting point is 00:47:48 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
Starting point is 00:47:55 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
Starting point is 00:48:04 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
Starting point is 00:48:12 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
Starting point is 00:48:23 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
Starting point is 00:48:31 going to say. What? Joe, when you're going to speak to somebody about something you know might not be good and you go,
Starting point is 00:48:38 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
Starting point is 00:48:43 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.
Starting point is 00:48:52 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
Starting point is 00:49:10 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.
Starting point is 00:49:49 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...
Starting point is 00:50:01 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
Starting point is 00:50:09 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
Starting point is 00:50:13 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
Starting point is 00:50:19 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
Starting point is 00:50:25 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
Starting point is 00:50:32 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
Starting point is 00:50:37 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
Starting point is 00:50:43 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.
Starting point is 00:50:52 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
Starting point is 00:51:05 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.
Starting point is 00:51:32 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.
Starting point is 00:51:42 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 book the DJ

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.
Starting point is 00:56:34 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?
Starting point is 00:56:45 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.
Starting point is 00:57:01 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,
Starting point is 00:57:14 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?
Starting point is 00:57:26 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.
Starting point is 00:57:40 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
Starting point is 00:57:49 allegedly the bees haven't alright maybe we didn't put a man on the moon we made concord though concord bees could fly
Starting point is 00:57:59 sort of we figured out how to fly faster and further yeah and with seats and bevvies. Stupid bees.
Starting point is 00:58:07 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.
Starting point is 00:58:17 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
Starting point is 00:58:26 and all these fucking ecologists and these fucking Brian Cox consumers all like oh you need the bees for the fucking toast
Starting point is 00:58:33 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
Starting point is 00:58:40 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.
Starting point is 00:58:51 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
Starting point is 00:59:01 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?
Starting point is 00:59:14 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.
Starting point is 00:59:29 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?
Starting point is 00:59:46 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.
Starting point is 01:00:10 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.
Starting point is 01:00:23 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.
Starting point is 01:00:31 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.
Starting point is 01:00:43 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?
Starting point is 01:00:59 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.
Starting point is 01:01:14 B, Beeschwitz. C, coffee. What? Coffee. What about coffee? They help coffee. Thank you, Dr. Cuvallus. They help coffee?
Starting point is 01:01:26 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.
Starting point is 01:01:40 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.
Starting point is 01:02:09 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.
Starting point is 01:02:31 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.
Starting point is 01:02:54 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
Starting point is 01:03:17 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
Starting point is 01:03:54 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.
Starting point is 01:04:17 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.
Starting point is 01:04:34 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.

Starting point is 01:08:56 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.
Starting point is 01:09:03 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.
Starting point is 01:09:21 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.
Starting point is 01:09:31 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
Starting point is 01:09:43 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
Starting point is 01:10:27 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.
Starting point is 01:10:56 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.
Starting point is 01:11:05 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?
Starting point is 01:11:23 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.
Starting point is 01:11:32 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
Starting point is 01:11:45 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
Starting point is 01:11:55 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
Starting point is 01:12:02 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
Starting point is 01:12:08 and I've just been like no fucking punch to fucking yeah yeah fucking stand up for yourself and I'm like okay yeah
Starting point is 01:12:14 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
Starting point is 01:12:20 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,
Starting point is 01:12:28 agreeableness is a really good predictor for lack of progression in your career. So, like, if you're a really
Starting point is 01:12:37 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
Starting point is 01:12:44 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
Starting point is 01:12:54 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,
Starting point is 01:13:04 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,
Starting point is 01:13:18 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
Starting point is 01:13:29 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
Starting point is 01:13:34 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
Starting point is 01:13:40 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
Starting point is 01:13:48 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
Starting point is 01:13:55 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
Starting point is 01:14:03 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
Starting point is 01:14:28 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
Starting point is 01:14:37 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
Starting point is 01:14:52 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.
Starting point is 01:15:07 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.
Starting point is 01:15:15 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,
Starting point is 01:15:30 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.
Starting point is 01:15:39 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
Starting point is 01:16:03 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,
Starting point is 01:16:17 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
Starting point is 01:16:56 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?
Starting point is 01:17:19 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.
Starting point is 01:17:49 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.
Starting point is 01:17:58 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.
Starting point is 01:18:05 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.
Starting point is 01:18:19 See? Nice try, Tom. Oh, it's Harry. No. Yeah, there is yeah yeah yeah we've all got I've got
Starting point is 01:18:27 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
Starting point is 01:18:34 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
Starting point is 01:18:40 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?
Starting point is 01:18:48 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.
Starting point is 01:19:00 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,
Starting point is 01:19:11 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.
Starting point is 01:19:22 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,
Starting point is 01:19:35 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
Starting point is 01:19:51 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.
Starting point is 01:20:06 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,
Starting point is 01:20:13 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
Starting point is 01:20:23 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
Starting point is 01:20:36 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.
Starting point is 01:21:07 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?
Starting point is 01:21:22 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.
Starting point is 01:21:36 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?
Starting point is 01:21:47 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.
Starting point is 01:21:57 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,
Starting point is 01:22:08 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...
Starting point is 01:22:26 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
Starting point is 01:22:36 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
Starting point is 01:22:49 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
Starting point is 01:23:14 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.
Starting point is 01:23:31 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.
Starting point is 01:23:41 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?
Starting point is 01:24:01 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...
Starting point is 01:24:15 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.
Starting point is 01:24:33 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.
Starting point is 01:24:55 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.
Starting point is 01:25:09 Wow. They all come back. Thomas Hayes, like two lines, if anyone listens, he's like, sign me back up. Oh, fuck,
Starting point is 01:25:16 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.
Starting point is 01:25:33 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
Starting point is 01:25:53 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?
Starting point is 01:26:10 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.
Starting point is 01:26:23 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
Starting point is 01:26:39 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.
Starting point is 01:26:53 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.
Starting point is 01:27:05 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.
Starting point is 01:27:14 Yeah, that makes sense because there's black people in Liverpool. Yeah. There's loads. I don't think they're like, oh,
Starting point is 01:27:20 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.
Starting point is 01:27:37 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.
Starting point is 01:27:55 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
Starting point is 01:28:07 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
Starting point is 01:28:20 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
Starting point is 01:28:54 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
Starting point is 01:29:05 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
Starting point is 01:29:16 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
Starting point is 01:29:22 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
Starting point is 01:29:31 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
Starting point is 01:29:38 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.
Starting point is 01:29:47 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?
Starting point is 01:30:10 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.
Starting point is 01:30:28 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.
Starting point is 01:30:44 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.
Starting point is 01:30:55 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.
Starting point is 01:31:06 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.
Starting point is 01:31:23 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
Starting point is 01:31:33 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
Starting point is 01:31:41 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.
Starting point is 01:31:52 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?
Starting point is 01:32:07 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?
Starting point is 01:32:18 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
Starting point is 01:32:34 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.
Starting point is 01:32:51 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?
Starting point is 01:33:02 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.
Starting point is 01:33:10 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,
Starting point is 01:33:18 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?
Starting point is 01:33:31 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
Starting point is 01:33:51 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?
Starting point is 01:34:14 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.
Starting point is 01:34:29 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.
Starting point is 01:34:40 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.
Starting point is 01:34:55 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
Starting point is 01:35:16 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.
Starting point is 01:35:37 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.
Starting point is 01:35:53 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?
Starting point is 01:36:02 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.
Starting point is 01:36:26 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?
Starting point is 01:36:37 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
Starting point is 01:36:45 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
Starting point is 01:36:52 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
Starting point is 01:36:58 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.
Starting point is 01:37:13 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.
Starting point is 01:37:21 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
Starting point is 01:37:29 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.
Starting point is 01:37:38 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.
Starting point is 01:37:50 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.
Starting point is 01:38:04 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
Starting point is 01:38:12 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
Starting point is 01:38:20 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
Starting point is 01:38:27 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,
Starting point is 01:38:34 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,
Starting point is 01:38:42 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
Starting point is 01:38:48 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
Starting point is 01:38:56 oh we're you know he's like great niece blah blah blah he's like okay stood for a photo
Starting point is 01:39:02 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
Starting point is 01:39:09 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
Starting point is 01:39:16 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.
Starting point is 01:39:29 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,
Starting point is 01:39:42 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...
Starting point is 01:40:01 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.
Starting point is 01:40:15 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.
Starting point is 01:40:28 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.
Starting point is 01:40:39 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.
Starting point is 01:40:54 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?
Starting point is 01:41:08 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?
Starting point is 01:41:23 516 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
Starting point is 01:41:31 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
Starting point is 01:41:40 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.
Starting point is 01:41:46 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.
Starting point is 01:41:58 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
Starting point is 01:42:06 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,
Starting point is 01:42:14 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.
Starting point is 01:42:26 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?
Starting point is 01:42:39 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
Starting point is 01:42:46 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
Starting point is 01:42:54 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
Starting point is 01:43:04 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.
Starting point is 01:43:14 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
Starting point is 01:43:29 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
Starting point is 01:43:49 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,
Starting point is 01:44:05 there's, do, yeah, M word, have normal sized penises? No. It's all right. Frankie Dottori,
Starting point is 01:44:13 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.
Starting point is 01:44:23 160 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.
Starting point is 01:44:34 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.
Starting point is 01:44:45 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.
Starting point is 01:45:00 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".
Starting point is 01:45:13 5'3"? Yeah. Okay. No, well smaller. Do you reckon? Yeah. No. What?
Starting point is 01:45:22 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.
Starting point is 01:45:32 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...
Starting point is 01:45:45 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.
Starting point is 01:45:55 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
Starting point is 01:46:05 average average you're five eight five eight so Frankie Dottori's four there's a bigger difference between Jack and Dan
Starting point is 01:46:13 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
Starting point is 01:46:22 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
Starting point is 01:46:33 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
Starting point is 01:46:39 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.
Starting point is 01:46:48 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.
Starting point is 01:47:02 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?
Starting point is 01:47:13 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.
Starting point is 01:47:25 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.
Starting point is 01:47:41 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.
Starting point is 01:48:09 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.
Starting point is 01:48:33 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

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,
Starting point is 01:49:42 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?
Starting point is 01:49:53 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.

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
Starting point is 01:50:10 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.
Starting point is 01:50:21 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.

Oh, I know Birkhamstead. Yeah, it's Birko. But everyone thinks I'm being Aussie saying it's called Birko,
Starting point is 01:51:01 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.

Starting point is 01:51:45 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.
Starting point is 01:52:01 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?
Starting point is 01:52:10 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.

Starting point is 01:56:38 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?

Starting point is 01:59:06 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.
Starting point is 01:59:18 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
Starting point is 01:59:34 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
Starting point is 01:59:53 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
Starting point is 02:00:00 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
Starting point is 02:00:11 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

Starting point is 02:02:20 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
Starting point is 02:02:59 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
Starting point is 02:03:32 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.
Starting point is 02:03:46 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.
Starting point is 02:03:54 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.
Starting point is 02:04:03 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.
Starting point is 02:04:14 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.
Starting point is 02:04:31 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,
Starting point is 02:04:51 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!
Starting point is 02:05:12 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.
Starting point is 02:05:31 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
Starting point is 02:05:48 very positive loving caring and then just it's been molested over time by a church who's gone
Starting point is 02:05:56 yeah we could use that just take all these folks money who made the rules who made like the man commandments not Jesus
Starting point is 02:06:04 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.
Starting point is 02:06:32 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.
Starting point is 02:06:48 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.
Starting point is 02:07:00 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.
Starting point is 02:07:16 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
Starting point is 02:07:36 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
Starting point is 02:07:48 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
Starting point is 02:07:54 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
Starting point is 02:08:02 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
Starting point is 02:08:14 yeah it's shite it's horrible and it winds yeah I was just playing devil's advocate ironically I think if you take
Starting point is 02:08:21 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?
Starting point is 02:08:47 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.
Starting point is 02:09:03 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
Starting point is 02:09:10 Romans yeah they weren't Christians yet yeah that's what I mean but they were still religious right
Starting point is 02:09:17 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
Starting point is 02:09:25 what do you mean what he's saying is everything everything derives morally from religion so what is what was the point
Starting point is 02:09:33 about gladiators and horses yo but the thing is I love seeing horses fuck up a gladiator so what do you do with that
Starting point is 02:09:41 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.
Starting point is 02:09:52 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.
Starting point is 02:10:01 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.
Starting point is 02:10:31 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.
Starting point is 02:10:43 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.
Starting point is 02:10:57 The Baptist Church. Yeah. What? Gladiator 2's coming out soon. Yeah. Oh, my God! All day! Great. are we sponsored
Starting point is 02:11:06 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
Starting point is 02:11:14 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?
Starting point is 02:11:27 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
Starting point is 02:11:39 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.
Starting point is 02:11:56 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
Starting point is 02:12:15 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.
Starting point is 02:12:31 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
Starting point is 02:12:58 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
Starting point is 02:13:13 it's just that there was some yeah massive competition she won was her husband the judge on that competition because it sounds like
Starting point is 02:13:21 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
Starting point is 02:13:33 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
Starting point is 02:13:45 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,
Starting point is 02:13:59 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
Starting point is 02:14:08 and the other persons because they're there aren't they they're like battling it's the way she's like hmm yeah
Starting point is 02:14:14 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
Starting point is 02:14:23 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
Starting point is 02:14:27 I mean she has gone viral like fucking not a great way to go viral though is it no it's funny
Starting point is 02:14:33 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
Starting point is 02:14:40 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
Starting point is 02:15:10 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
Starting point is 02:15:17 To breakdancing Everyone's now talking About breakdancing She's done more for Breakdancing than Diversity did Hang on But that's
Starting point is 02:15:23 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,
Starting point is 02:15:33 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.
Starting point is 02:15:45 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.

Starting point is 02:16:50 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.

Starting point is 02:18:29 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?
