Why would I want that?
I'm all right, mate,
I'll do some talking.
I went for a few pints
last night
and I feel a bit like
sort of still pissed
oh jazzy yeah
what
bit jazzy
bit of a jazzy one
yeah I feel a bit jazzy
where'd you go
went to a pub
but I'm not naming
hack
because er
I'm gatekeeping it
because it's a good pub
and I don't want everyone
to start going
this is the one you put
in the chat the other day
yeah what is it for like 50 years yeah it's a good pub and I don't want everyone to start going this is the one you put in the chat the other day what is it for like
50 years
yeah
it's the rubber sole
on Matthew Street
class
you are the worst
gatekeeper ever
you're like
no no
no one can go
where was it
alright it was here
it is the rubber sole
oh it's not the rubber sole
that's a joke
we do
oh okay
well I don't
I don't listen to podcasts
unless someone sends me right do you know what I mean Not the rubber salt. That's a joke we do. Oh, okay. Well, I don't listen to podcasts. They all go to rubber salt.
Unless someone sends me.
They never do.
Right.
Do you know what I mean?
You're not a big drinker, are you?
Never have been?
No.
When was the last time you got pissed?
Might have been last time I went to Edinburgh,
which was last year.
Yeah, last year.
Yeah.
Because I think I've seen you pissed
maybe like four or five times.
I think all but one of them is inburgh when you just have that one night a year where you go
ballista yeah yeah and then one other time where we went out in chester the one night out we are
when we live together for a year oh that was like the first night wasn't it and we got the taxi
yeah yeah yeah that was what's your vices then i I don't have any. No vices.
We went fishing yesterday.
What do you mean, babe?
Everyone's got vices.
What's yours?
Chocolate.
Maybe that is mine then.
That is mine maybe.
I can't put petrol in my car without buying two Whispers.
Mine's Parasi's probably.
Brassers, yeah.
You're always with brassers, aren't you? In the rubber sole.
Not shagging them, just like talking to them.
Mate, I remember the only time I've ever been in a brothel.
Never, by the way, for me.
I went, when I was like 19, there was like a group of us,
and I just went and sat in the reception and had chicken fried rice,
because I didn't want to get involved.
You shall not do it, yeah.
Sorry?
No, I took it in.
Right, okay.
But what was mad, because I didn't want to get involved. Sorry, so I took it in. Right, okay. But what was mad, because I was like,
oh, can I bring my chicken fried rice in?
And the woman was like, oh, I don't know, hygiene.
I was like, mate, you can't do this in the brass house.
Don't worry, I'm not going to eat it off any surfaces.
Is she like, what are they called?
The cat mother?
The cat mother?
Yeah.
Is that what they're called?
It's the madame, isn't it? It's the madame, cat mother the cat mother yeah is that what they're called it's the madam or cat mother google that something like cat mother is like when you call your ma she and she goes who's she she's the cat's mother that's the only time i've ever
heard that it's also cat woman's mum i can't get up the stairs that fast uh i've never been to a
brothel yeah i went and sat in a reception
and a couple of my mates went into the room.
So then one of them came out and just,
he was like, I've just had a massage.
And people were like, no, you haven't.
And he was like, no, I just went in
and I just had a massage.
I was like, stop lying.
Like we're all out here now.
And to this day, I remember.
Cocked out?
Massage me cock with a cushion. Like, we're all out here now. And to this day, I remember... Cocked out? Massage me cock with a cushion.
Yeah, exactly, yeah.
To this day, I remember what the two ladies of the night were called,
the cat women.
Go on.
Angel and spicy.
I don't reckon they were kissing, though.
No, I don't think that was...
Not spicy.
Looking at her, she didn't look...
There's lemon and herb at best.
She didn't look the spiciest
to be fair it was mad do you get to pay yeah yeah well if they're all busy what do you mean
well if you walk in they got like all sorry all our operators are busy right now yeah you can wait
you are 12 if you wait then you know that you're getting fucking... But is it like in the barbers
when he's like,
I'll take you,
no, I'm going to wait for my Monday.
It's probably the opposite of that
because in a brothel,
you probably do want the youngest one.
You know what I mean?
What, the newest one?
Yeah.
That's true.
It's like the opposite of being in the barbers.
You don't want the experience to come on.
Do you?
Well, I suppose sometimes you do.
Have you chatted that loads about the bar I don't think
like as a man
have we chatted
I can't remember
whether we spoke
about it when I was here
like as a man
that is the worst
anxiety that you can have
what
is being in that
barbecue
oh should I like
book with my barber
yeah I do now
but I mean like
in historically
when you used to go
because I don't know
why you just feel
like you're gonna
break someone
I don't want to
upset someone
but they always do look devastated though when they come over and they're like,
I'll do you.
And you have to be like, nah, they look like you've like shot them.
Upset someone with a B tech.
That's what you do when you get shot.
I've done that.
The other one is going through any fire door.
Like for me.
In case it goes off.
Yeah. In case it's alarmed.
Yeah.
There's always like a, like whenever I go through a fire door.
But also like, I know what you mean,
because I get that anxiety as well as it's alarmed.
But if it is, you're leaving anyway.
Yeah.
If it's sold to everyone else.
Just get off.
It doesn't really affect you, does it?
Yeah, I don't think anyone's been arrested ever
for going through a fire door
no
what are you in for
going out
what are your vices
I can't think
me
I don't know
me
me
me
erm
I don't know
I really can't think of any
I have got some
I'm not saying I am
Finn's is pot innit
I'm not saying I'm perfect
Pot
Pot
He's a pot
Wacky backy
The devil's lettuce
Roller
Ganja man
Little pot head
He loves pot
I don't know
I'm not saying
I have got some
I just can't conjure them
They're not being a dickhead
It used to be FIFA
You've kind of
Oh yeah
Taken yourself away from that
Definitely that was one of them
He's like buying packs and that.
And then I don't play that game no more.
I stopped in January, and I will never play it ever again.
What do you think yours is?
I don't know.
This is mad.
What's yours?
Drink?
Yeah.
I went for a pint last night because I was bored.
Where'd you go?
Rubber sole.
But don't tell anybody.
Bleep that.
Have you not got any...
I don't know.
Genuinely, I'm not here trying to be like,
oh, no, I'm not...
Yeah, same.
I can't think of anything to do that I would like.
Clothes?
I should stop doing that.
Do you buy clothes or...
It's not a vice.
Getting dressed isn't bad for you.
Oh, look at me, all dressed.
I should stop.
No, you know what I mean?
My vice is getting dressed.
Buying too much. No, because i don't do that anymore
either no i can't think of it other than like i kill animals obviously but like other than that
like no i don't i don't imagine have you ever been a drinker like in your younger years in
my youth in your youth i used to go out now and again in the park when you were a teen nah
because i had like reasonable access to pubs
growing up and i think that's like so when i was six i was like in the pub with my dad eating
mini cheddars while he was just pissed with his mates because that's what i'm sick by the way
like so my dad would play like sunday morning 11s and then i'd go with him and watch and then
it'd be straight in the pub and i'd be there i had a job in the pub when i was seven like a job so we used to go and collect the glasses in
the pub and then matty the guy behind the bar he'd give me uh apple ties before they added they are
is that a thing yeah that's not a mandela that that's not a mandela effect no are you sure
i don't believe if anyone's saying them it's him and he knows that. Yeah, he knows. I mean, there's like 17 laptops in here.
You could probably, someone could probably check that.
But yeah, apple ties.
And he put like a little glace cherry in it
and a slice of lemon.
So like for like a six-year-old Pat Butcher
and a bag of mini cheddars,
which we call cheesy snips,
which sounds like circumcision.
Also sounds a bit racist as well.
Cheesy snips.
Yeah.
There's a gang of cheesy snips
around the corner.
It's homophobic as well,
isn't it?
It's a homophobic
racial slur.
You know what I'm saying?
He's a cheesy snip
if you know what I mean.
Was it Apple Ties?
It was.
Yeah, in 1982
and then it changed
in 1995
because of Tizer.
Yeah, and I don't think
the world's been right since. I love Apple Ties. Because of Tizer. Yeah, and I don't think the world's been right since.
Because of Tizer?
Yeah.
The name was changed due to complaints from the owners of the Tizer soft drink brand.
Yeah, but then they changed it to Apple Tizer.
They made it more like Tizer.
What flavour is Tizer?
Orange.
Is it?
No.
It's electric, isn't it?
It's the colour orange.
It's the flavour electric?
Yeah, it's the flavour of the colour orange.
It's not the flavour of the fruit orange. It's the flavour of the colour orange. It's the flavour electric. Yeah, it's the flavour of the colour orange. It's not the flavour of the fruit orange.
It's the flavour of the colour orange.
It's like iron blue, it's electric.
That's synesthesia, that, isn't it?
You know exactly what I mean, though.
You know what I mean when I say, oh, it tastes blue.
Yeah.
But it tastes orange, but not orange.
What we said yesterday, Thursday.
Is November, and it's also seven times seven is 49.
I don't know what you're on about.
Oh, you don't get it?
I thought you'd get it.
I really thought you'd be on to that.
Like, seven times seven equaling 49.
Yeah.
Is Thursday.
Like, your T-shirt's Thursday.
Oh, right, okay.
That T-shirt you've got on.
Yeah.
It's purple.
It's Thursday.
Right, okay.
Thursday ackee and that.
Thursday bins.
Poor name.
Thursday Aki and that Thursday bins
full name
so I've watched it
with Dan
and he just
he doesn't get it
and won't get it
but I think he's the same then
no no no
I sort of
no I feel like
he's open minded enough to
what colour is Sunday
er
blue
wow
it's like burnt
yeah because it's
fia isn't it
ombre
yeah
so there's fia
amber yeah what's the harpy theme June to you what what It's like burnt, hot and... Yeah, because it's fear, isn't it? Ombre. Yeah. Soaker. It's fear. Amber.
Yeah.
What's the heartbeat
theme tune to you?
What?
What?
That's not...
That is as sinister
as the X-Files to me.
Mine's Poirot.
So is his mask.
Yeah,
I know.
It's bedtime on a Sunday.
Do you want to fucking
jump off the house?
Oh,
I thought...
Because we're going like,
Thursday is November.
I thought you were like, what's the heartbeat theme tune to you?
And I was like, that's just what it is.
Yeah, what are you bringing to this?
Do the heartbeat theme tune now.
No, it's fear.
Dan would do it.
It induces fear in me.
Because you're done, isn't it?
It's bedtime.
You're done out here.
The weekend's over.
Beef butties.
Bag of salt and shake.
Three, four bed.
That was what it was.
So Sunday. bag of salt and shake three four bed that was what it was so Sunday nah
you know
beef butties
bag of salt and shake
we all did on Sundays
mate
let's watch Greengrass
Pat fucking
Alfred
was it Alfred
Albert
his dog
yeah
Google that
like Lloyd
so you'd have a little
beef butty
like supper
on a Sunday
like seven o'clock
beef butty
because from the Sunday roast
the leftover beef
little butty
bag of salt and shake
at me nan's
Bobo's
after heartbeat
occasionally you'd like
do that thing where you'd
like stay asleep
pretend to be asleep
so you'd get a little
Poirot in
if you heard
you're like I'm fucking a finaster here into school on Monday morning day asleep, pretend to be asleep so you get a little Poirot in. If you heard...
You're like, I'm fucking a finaster here.
Into school on Monday morning. Not bragging
lads, but I got to see a bit of Poirot last night.
I don't know who did it, because I
didn't watch the whole thing.
But I've seen a couple of murders.
I'm sorry, that fear's gone. I can go to bed.
I don't have to go to bed ever without one.
Love that.
Is that the best thing about being an adult yeah
I can get in the car
at half two in the morning
with one
and just drive to Tesco
you should be so proud of yourself
yeah but
why would you do that
because I've got the ability to
but why would you have to
then you'd have to wait
outside Tesco
because since Covid
there's been no 24 hour Tesco
is that true
yeah
24 hour shopping is gone
no
Asda's still got it
no Asda
Asda by As
Asda by As Has it might still, Asda by As, Asda by As has.
It might still have,
have you been?
Yeah,
I've been after midnight.
Mandela.
No,
it isn't.
Nelson.
Google that.
There's no 24-hour Tesco,
so I don't think there ever has been 24-hour Tesco.
Yeah,
there has the one in Broughton Park.
What are they telling you?
Yeah,
no,
there is still,
they've cut loads of them,
like,
there's nine Tescos in the country and there's 106 it has there's yeah the walton the walton
house is still 24 can you print that off and i'll have that because i need that like yeah
genuinely i like there's loads of things that are shit about the world now like deliveroo
you can't tell me that that's made the world now. Like Deliveroo, you can't tell me that that's made the world...
I saw your thing the other day.
You can't tell me that the world is better since that.
Since Deliveroo?
Yeah, the world is worse because of it.
Why?
Loads of reasons.
There's no accountability.
Like, the food is shit, right?
The food can't be shit.
You just have to get over it.
No, because...
A full chicken butterfly and five hot wings, by the way, and they gave me £1.60 back. Yeah, and you were lucky to get over it. No, no. A full chicken butterfly and five hot wings, by the way,
and they gave me £1.60 back.
Yeah, and you were lucky to get it as well.
You can have that or fuck off.
And it's credit.
It's not even money.
Give us it back.
£1.60 and you can spend it only here.
It's even better.
They should have just posted one wing
through your door.
Have a wing on us.
So there's no accountability everyone just does that the drivers or the riders blame the restaurant and the restaurant drivers yeah uh deliver who
don't do fuck all they're just middlemen it's the same with airbnb all these middlemen people
they've made the world worse right because we rely on it and it was amazing when it first started and then they go oh it's shit now and then we're like but i need me wings uh the the dudes just drive
the wrong way down streets yeah for fun yeah so it's made it worse there uh roadside safety what
is it uh sidewalk yeah i saw the stetson and i was like, sidewalk. Safety is bad because of it.
There's too many net negatives over the net positives.
Yeah, I agree.
It was better when the restaurants or the chippies or whatever.
It's better when you just found the casket.
Have to have their own drivers.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Hey, your driver's not here yet?
All right, I'll ring him.
Exactly.
And they'd be like, where are you, dickhead?
Yeah.
He's waiting on his fucking chicken fried rice.
He's got a brass waiting here.
That was sick the other day though.
I ordered the Chinese
and you can double it up with the local shop.
They'll go to the shop for you
and don't charge you.
Yeah.
So they said like,
add that on.
So we just went to the shop
and got me some bananas.
And then he said,
what do you want?
And you were like,
cheesy snips.
He went,
what?
What did you fucking call me?
That's good though.
That's good.
But he is right though.
I don't think it's
improved the
the world
the ordering service
no and it's so expensive
as well
and just shops innit
there's no good shops
anymore
male shopping is finished
on the high street
for clothes
finished
I've said this before
I think you've just
grown out of it
no
we like to go to
John Lewis
it's a department store
because the shops
don't exist anymore
all the shops have
shut and gone into
department stores
and that's true John Lewis is class though yeah because it's all't exist anymore. All the shops have shut and gone into department stores. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's true.
John Lewis is class though.
Yeah, because it's all the shops
that should exist as shops.
That's why Carl's in his car
at half two at night
because he's gutted about USC being shut.
He's like,
oh, that's why I can't sleep.
I want to eat some bench.
That's part of Sports Direct now.
What?
That's part of Sports Direct now.
What, bench?
No, USC.
Oh. Is it, yeah? Yeah. What, bench? No, USC. Oh.
Is it, yeah?
Yeah.
So is bench, I bet, yeah.
Have you been to the H&M
in Liverpool yet?
For men's?
Yeah.
Do you usually get like a floor?
It's the corner of the floor.
We now get the corner
of a woman's floor.
It's a load of shite.
It's like men don't dress anymore.
It's also the one bit
of a society
where women are more privileged
than men, innit?
Well, there's probably a few.
But like,
women's clothes are always right at the front of the shop men you always have to go upstairs or
downstairs or whatever whenever you walk into a shop it's the women's clothes it's patriarchy
that yeah matriarchy mate no i just think that's what like that's what it is it's because uh there
will be someone that would say that's because we're training women to spend more money like
they already get paid less and now they've got to give their money.
You know, like with beauty stuff,
it's like making them think that they need their clothes
when they walk past.
I think it's because women are lazy,
and they won't go upstairs, and they know it.
That is a fact.
Is that a fact?
I think it's a fact, yeah.
But yeah, men's shopping's finished, and it's sad.
I'm going to open my own men's wear store, men's shopping's finished and it's sad. I'm going to open
my own men's wear store
where they sell
really good boss t-shirts.
There's bosses already.
Not like...
You only want to open this
so that you can shop there?
I want to open a shop
and sell merch
that I will buy
and I think that's how
everyone should start.
I think that's how
good shops do start.
Yeah.
Let's make shit that we like
and everyone goes,
that's cool.
And you go,
let's share it.
But then they also all go down like restaurants you go are we popular now
oh we'll make everything cheaper make them that's the like it's the people are more loyal to shops
than they are to restaurants though yeah like i i seen someone explaining this last week like
restaurants that have no loyalty from their customers so like like it's it's just it's not
like like you're maybe an exception to this,
and so is, like, Jack Finnegan.
Like, there's a few places you love,
and you go, I'll go there.
Dan's like that, though, as well.
Yeah, that's different reasons.
Yeah, but Dan's like Nando's.
Dan's like a multi-milk.
But I think that's what it is, though.
That's probably the reason I am,
is because, like, oh, I like the way
that they sprinkle the onions on that bit,
but not on that bit.
It's all like that.
That's why it is.
It's not because i'm familiar
with frankie or benny
first name term yeah frankie in
i go to restaurants i love though i really go to a new restaurant
so but your favorite restaurant you might go to three or four times a
year what's your favorite restaurant ricardo saltos it's just above the rubble about takeaways
i thought you said you have your takeaway your Chinese people are a lot more loyal to their
takeaways than their restaurants there's there's one in real that i'll go to i won't go anywhere
there's only one in real i won't go anywhere else because i'll have to leave the town yeah you won't catch me and press that in what's it called uh kebab king
harren's kebab king it sounds smart you could have said anything also being loyal to a kebab
shop is wild as a vegetarian yeah What do you get? Pizza.
I used to get the kebab.
It was their kebab that turned me vegetarian.
I'm that loyal.
It's got Stockholm syndrome with them.
It's the best.
They do the best garlic sauce other than in Turkey.
Is it a drive or a walk?
Well, you can do it either.
What's easier?
Delivery.
They've got their own delivery guy.
That's them.
They're cash only. Own delivery guy. They. That's them. They're cash only,
own delivery guy.
They speak Turkish to me on the phone,
which I don't like,
but other than that,
it's fine.
Do they know your name?
Put a voice on so they don't know it's you.
No,
they ask for my address and they go,
ah,
Mehmet.
They call me Mehmet.
Not my name,
but you know.
They're just calling you my mate,
aren't they?
It's just an accent.
That's my dad's name.
Ah,
Mehmet.
Ah,
Mehmet.
I love my Meh name. Ah, my mid! Ah, my mid. I love my mid.
Yeah, I don't like the Turkish small talk,
but other than that, their food's elite.
Class.
So the best chippy in South Liverpool is Chews.
I thought it was Chayuz.
It always will be Chayuz to me.
Yeah.
Like, I rang him a couple of weeks ago,
I was like, is this Chayuz?
And he went, yeah, well, it's Chews.
And I nearly went to him, mate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I need to tell couple of weeks ago. I was like, is this Chayu's? And he went, yeah, well, it's Choo's. And I nearly went to him, mate.
No, it isn't.
I need to tell you something.
I know it's your chippy and your last name, John,
but it's got an I in the middle of it.
And then he went, it's Joan.
Joan Chayu.
So you can do collection.
Yeah.
And they do do delivery, but it's only a one mile radius.
It's the best.
That's class
why is he
is he on a mobility scooter
with low battery
he has to
like what
he'll only do it
like it's like
it has to be walking distance
it's a favour
yeah
he's like I'll drop it off
like but I'm not fucking
yeah
I suppose as well
like he knows
that if you're a mile away
there's more chance
of you using that chippy
like as a walk
you know
you'll walk there
so
he says it's for the
local people
I've spoke to him
before and he said
there's players who've
like Liverpool players
used to go there loads
and he said when
Sterling moved to
City he used to
travel to this chippy
that's how good this
chippy is
spring rolls are just
the one though
like they're famous
for their spring rolls
and he said Raheem
Sterling would travel
you know like when
you go in a chippy
and they've got like
all the pies and
the sausages and stuff in this one like they've got a full window and it's just packed with spring rolls and he said Raheem's down the track you know like when you go into Chippy and they've got like all the pies and the sausages and stuff
in this one
like they've got a full window
and it's just packed
with spring rolls
because they sell that many of them
how big are they?
long and thin
so they look like that
them big fat horrible
like chop suey rolls
no they're long and thin
and crispy
and dead hot
spicy pork
spring rolls
oh
get on shite
it's going to be fucking choc, I know.
The rubber sole.
So that's the rubber sole.
That's the worst name for a chippy as well.
It's like, oh, it's chewy.
And then they're like, chai-ooey.
You're like, no, it's chewy.
Yeah, I won't go anywhere but there.
So I am loyal to that.
And I'm more loyal to restaurants, I think, than most people.
But they're a really bad business for people, apparently,
because even your most loyal customers,
you might get four visits a year out of them.
That's it.
Every three months, you might go to your favorite restaurant.
You can't really amass like a
like a following people aren't forgiving either like if you had one shit meal they're like nah
whereas like they'll watch like three shit films at the cinema and keep going the cinema
like but they'll just be like oh no the chips were weird i'm not going back
yeah but i i don't i think that's sort of a false equivalence because if there was yeah i know i was
just that was the only thing I could think of on the spot that's to get it out fast
you know
I didn't want to be here
going hold on
let me think of an analogy
that wasn't
you wouldn't go see
a bad director's
third film would you
maybe yeah
because like
you went to
M Night Shyamalan
the other day
I did
but I didn't go
because it was him
oh right okay
and I'll never
if I know he's made
the next film
I'll never go and see him oh I went because it was him yeah what okay and I'll never if I know he's made the next film I'll never go and see him
oh I went because it was him
yeah what did you think
it was not as bad
as you thought
I thought
Jack had the nail
on the head with you
and me and you
it's the same in this vein
if we don't like something
near the start
it's done
and I'm like that
with films too
he said that you were like
this is shit
but he didn't
you didn't mind
the start
it does fall apart
second half
Jack said that you
thought this was shit
and then was just going
that shit
that shit
that shit
rather than giving it a chance
the worst one of them
is when like
you're with someone
and they go
oh let's go and watch this film
and you don't really want to go
it could be fucking
Godfather 2
and I'll be there going
yeah but look at his suit
like
like
oh that passport
looks shite
like I'm just
just picking holes
in everything
it's very easy
to pick holes in shit
oh yeah yeah yeah
it
yeah yeah
they are
it's littered with them
I gave it two stars
it was fine
out of what
five
five
alright
can't rate films
out of ten stars
why not
is there without
a poster
rated out of eight
there's no rules
that was the twist at the end Shia Mulani rates films out of eight there's no rules that was the twist at the end shai amalani rates films out of
eight i don't think we're that far away from him he writes the twist first don't he and then
builds back surely most do yeah yeah well like the twist in this film was revealed in like the
seventh minute well that was the twist you got to the end there wasn't one there was about eight
twists in that film.
Yeah.
He just kept doing things.
You're like, oh, okay.
We're doing that again.
Cool.
What's the best twist that he's done?
Sixth Sense, isn't it?
Yeah.
It just is.
That's the famous one.
Everyone knows it.
You can't watch it.
If you've never watched it,
you can't watch it.
At the time.
I think last time I was here,
I was spoiling films.
Let's just do it every time.
What's the twist of Sixth Sense?
It's the rubber sole. All along, they were just eating in the rubber soul the maddest one's the village what happens in the village the plane goes over and they're like oh
these are just cosplaying you've seen it never seen it oh don't watch it now it's not real so it's like a commune and you think it's like set
in like 1600s the whole film's set in the 1600s but it worked it turns out that these are just
people who've chosen to live like that amish sort of and then they've chosen to live like that and
uh the plane goes over at the end and it's like oh so the the old the village elders
are just like blagging all the young people like oh it's just they don't know it's not the 1600s
but the older people do don't watch it now they're mad the amish aren't they but apparently
apparently they've got it apparently they've got it such you know like there's such like
basically zero anxiety with amish people because you don don't know anything. Babies have got anxiety.
Is it true that they have like a year
where they can like go and use a mobile and that?
Like they can go and they give you like a 32 cent.
Go and see if you like it, yeah.
But they're all dead happy.
Are they?
Yeah.
Because you don't know, I suppose,
because you don't know the sad things,
but the sad things bring joy as well.
What do you mean the sad things?
You don't know about like the feeling after porn.
What?
Don't you have a wank in the audible feeling?
No.
What? Yeah. you have a wank in the horrible feeling? No. What?
Yeah.
Post-not clarity?
You've never had that
when you finish wanking?
You're like,
oh, you feel like...
Yeah.
I have to be watching
some depraved shit
where I put my phone
in the other room for a bit.
I know this is editing for me.
When you finish,
you're like,
oh, I'm scum.
Yeah.
Nah.
Mad.
That is mad.
That does check out for you, though.
I understand it it i'm great
i'm just like i i if i have a wank i'm just like class what are we doing next
who's there we
but yeah they've never felt but like they've never felt the joy of like i don't know
yeah one-tenth uh compared to the general population suffer from depression in the
amish because you don't know anything that's why plus as well there's no fucking anxiety
if you have to do the worst thing possible as a depressed person it's probably harder as well
like oh i was i was fred oh he threw himself in front of an horse he's all right
he's fine is it he's got a bruised shoulder what do they do they just build
is that a wooden
they just live
basically
that's all they do for me
they live without technology
and like
they've got like no
nothing
no they've got no lecky
not even a sign of lecky
nothing
no
nothing
no lecky
like they make their own firewood
out of trees
they make their own firewood out of trees.
They make their own firewood?
You mean they don't make it?
God makes it.
They're essentially stuck 600 years ago.
They're all made up.
Yeah.
So, like... But they know we exist.
Can they have medicine?
There you go.
That's technology.
Yeah, I know.
That's what...
Plasters.
What?
Leaves. What do you use as plasters? Do they cut themselves? I don't know. I haven't fully looked into it. I know. That's what... Plasters. What? Leaves.
What do you use as plasters?
Do they cut themselves?
I don't know.
I haven't fully looked into it.
I just know that they're happier than us.
So what does that tell you?
The Amish religion does not restrict people
from seeking modern medical care.
There you go.
So you do use technology?
Pick and choose, innit?
You're the worst type of person, aren't you?
Why?
Oh, see?
So you want to see some more, do you?
You might as well have a fucking iPad.
But they're happy.
So doesn't that just show
that we should all just pack this shit up
and go and live in Delamere Forest?
Isn't that just what we should all be doing?
The Amish get iPads when they get conjunctivitis.
I'd be up for doing like the Amish patron special
where we just go and live
like that for a couple of months
you'd be up for these
scares of the cameras
what
you couldn't film it
what
you just have to remember it
tell everyone
get someone to draw it
sketch it
yeah
we're posting your
Patreon special
as we speak
I'd go and meet some
I'd be like
yous are mad
this is odd.
This,
the more I'm researching this,
they're,
they're allowed telephones.
See,
they're just picking and choosing.
No,
but they're not like iPhones.
It's telephones.
It's like fucking,
they have to,
they have to have those ones.
Yeah.
I mean,
yeah,
but that wasn't,
that's not the 1600s,
is it?
Yeah.
To be fair,
like dialing,
dialing one,
four, seven, one does feel like 600 years ago.
What's next then?
There's no telephones now.
What, hot bikes in 10 years?
Drones, they'll have drones next. In 600 years, they'll have podcasts,
but like, they're just 600 years behind.
Ah, it's like the widdle with clothes.
You've all got Rockport on now.
Yeah, but a few years away from all having Echo trackies.
Oh, and I have an Echo trackie.
I have an Echo bag for school, a drawstring bag.
That was the only thing I had.
The Rhino one?
Yeah.
Oh, like Echo, like the New York streetwear bag.
Yeah, not the Liverpool Echo.
No, I thought you meant...
No, I genuinely thought you meant like...
Liverpool Echo. Oh, ECCO. Them old women's shoes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like hotter. the New York street wear yeah not the Liverpool echo no I thought you meant no I genuinely thought you meant like
oh ECCL
them old women's shoes
yeah yeah
like hotter
yeah no echo
but
Finn's like obsessed
yeah
yeah I've got
I've got
the irony of you using that
I know
they
they
they go to zoos
they go to zoos
for fun
yeah
why they just have the animals
what do you mean they can just build pens and make their own why come to our zo, they just have the animals. What do you mean?
They can just build pens and make their own.
Why come to our zoo?
They just play board games and sport.
It does sound class, you know?
Yeah.
It does.
Bollocks.
Are you happier with your phone?
Are you happier with your phone than before you had a phone?
I'm like you, yeah.
Phones have made us all happier
because you get to speak to people when I'm not with them.
No, I was just going to say no.
They have not made us happier. No. Theyones have made us all happier because you get to speak to people when I'm not with them. That doesn't make us... They have not made us happier.
They have not made us happier.
I get the argument
and I actually agree with you,
but people act like these
are like dynamites in our pocket.
I wish I didn't have this.
It would be cool just to live.
It does make things better.
You get to...
We get to experience the world.
It doesn't...
It hasn't made anything better.
It has.
Communication.
Literally made better.
I was going to say,
get in places. Maps. It's made anything better it has communication literally made better I was going to say get in places maps
it's made that better
communication
travel
it's made everything better
they don't need to go anywhere
do they
I think about
I think about maps
and the comedy circuit
all the time
you know
you know like when Dave John
started comedy
yeah
how did he used to get
to like
the gig in
Coventry
from Newcastle
like
fucking 80s
you'd have to print it out, wouldn't you?
So that's what they used to do, print it out.
No, but, like, what about pre-printers?
Well, Dave Johns, I don't think, drives.
And plus, like, trains were £6, so it was fine.
Like, that's the issue.
The train drops you off in the middle of the town.
That's where you need the sat-nav.
But what about people who used to drive and didn't have a printer?
Because printers are quite modern as well
comedy predates printing
don't they
in fact
it does yeah
so how did like
people in the 80s
get to
like the fucking
Croydon Jonglers
if they lived in Manchester
they probably wouldn't
in the 80s
because there's like
six comics
so they'd all been
in London
there was three clubs
probably
how would you find
the address out
ring them up
what's your address?
It'd be in like the fucking,
what's it called?
Like Time Out
and like Stage Magazine.
How did anyone get anywhere
before Satnavs?
It's just what,
like it blows me mind.
It's made our life easier,
better.
Yeah.
It has made that better,
but it hasn't improved the world,
has it?
I don't think it's made it worse
where Seville makes out. I just think it's made it worse. It's made it worse.

I just blocked him.
Unfollowed him.
I have blocked him
and I still somehow see his shit.
That's not possible.
You haven't blocked him
and you hate following him.
If you block Elon Musk
you're still seeing his stuff.
Because he owns the platform,
doesn't he?
Yeah.
He's just like...
Romano's his biggest earner
though, isn't he?
What?
Romano's the biggest earner
on Twitter
is he yeah
out of everyone
after Elon Musk
yeah
especially Jordan
transfer period
makes so much
fucking money
because he just tweets
the same thing
on repeat doesn't he
oh he's signed
he has signed
he's got a sign
he's signed
four tweets a mil
easy
fuck him
a mil
find out what
Robito Romano
made in 2023
on Twitter
I bet it's a lot
of money
it's not a quarter
of a million
pair tweets
no it isn't
that was hyperbole
and find out
who the richest
Amish person is
oh yeah what do
they do
seven quid he's got
and a ferret
he has made
fucking hell
oh yeah 1.4 million dollars six tweets He has made fucking hell.
Oh, a year, $1.4 million.
Just next week?
$1.04 million.
That's Wednesday, that.
Am I getting it?
What?
No.
How do you become rich as an Amish?
What do you mean?
Do they have money?
I don't know.
They have, like, coin. What? Just one? what do you mean do they have money i don't know they have like coin what just one by the way they'll share it did you see batman begin
yeah it's so funny what the michael cain tweet no oh my god um why what was it why did we fall
yeah michael came was quoting himself from bat Begins. It was something like,
why do we fall in the first place only to get back up
and then just Batman begin?
Someone put,
Batman begin.
The tweets have been phenomenal.
I'm seeing them.
Yeah, it's just him being senile.
Batman begin.
What was I saying?
Rich Amish people.
It's just him being senile.
What was I saying?
So it's all about community?
Yeah, there aren't
many rich Amish people.
There are some,
but they're not like...
It's like absolute socialism.
Yeah.
Yeah, they've got this thing I've just found. Harry's put it in the prep. It's Rum absolute socialism. Yeah. Yeah, they've got this thing I've just found.
Harry's put it in the prep.
It's Rumspringer, which is when you're about 16.
They have a year out.
You have a year out and you just get to do what you want.
And if you end up coming back, you end up coming back.
And if not, you're out.
That's what I was joking about before.
But you lose your family, don't you?
Yeah, so there's pressure. But if you discover your family don't you yeah yeah so there's pressure but if you discover i don't know cat or something that
and have a great time then you're not going back weirdly though if they've got it's a very
horse-based society and they're allowed medicine cat's probably the one thing that they've got
loads of that's probably where it started actually and i'm a fella was just like i'm
gonna try a bit of that yeah what do we use what a spoon
what's a spoon if you were amish and you'd lived there for 16 years what would you find that i'd
make you leave your family oh like you like oh i'm not going back because i've found uh um skin fades
can you imagine you just come back with a sick trip.
A little night swoosh in the back.
Then you can't go back.
What's the thing that would make you not go back?
Like, I'm not going back.
I've found this.
But this is what I'm saying to you.
A lot of them do all go back.
But what do you think would stop you going back?
I think they're so happy.
Like, if I was in that community,
I think I would go back.
I think I'd have like a week off
and I'd be like, do you know what?
No, let's get back to playing fucking dominoes.
I also think they're doing it sly.
You can have dominoes on the outside.
I think it's very weighted that they know a lot of people are coming back.
If it was 18, where you can do more stuff.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe less people.
Sick of, like, oh, cool.
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
I can't even get a scratch card now.
That changed.
You don't know.
It's 18 now.
It's like when you're a kid and you're like, I'm leaving home. Your dad was like, go on then. Go on then. I can't even get a scratch card now. That changed. You don't know? No, it's 18 now. It's like when you're a kid
and you're like, I'm leaving home.
Your dad was like, go on then.
Go on then.
You can't even get in the bookies, lad.
I don't know.
I have a family.
No, Kit Kats, no.
They haven't got Kit Kats, have they?
No.
Kit Kats and...
They've got cats.
Like a yop.
Oh.
Like a banana yop.
Oh.
Yeah.
You know what I mean Like boss
Gran and that
Like pizza
Have you got pizza
I've got a Kit Kat
And this is my new friend
He's an Italian gangster
Called Kit Kat
Him and cheesy snips
Old yop and cheesy snips
Hey come and bet
Have you got pizza?
They've got pizza, Carl.
They have?
Yeah.
I don't know where from.
Wood-fired ovens?
Yeah, it's homemade pizza.
What's mad, though,
if there's a...
Hamburger soup.
What?
Is it an Amish specialty?
They call hamburger
just mince, though.
That's what they'll go,
I've got a quarter pound
of hamburger,
quarter pound of hamburger,
and it's not a quarter,
it's just minced beef.
What I love about the Amish pizza delivery,
it's probably still got more than a fucking
one mile delivery radius.
That's what he says, actually,
when you ask him to deliver 1.5,
he's like, nah, Amish.
Not having it, John Chu.
Ah, Amish, man.
I don't think I would leave.
I think I'd want to get back to my community.
I don't think anything could keep me.
Like, they seem happy.
That's what we're all after, isn't it?
Happiness.
Nothing.
I don't think so.
Have they got music?
Yeah.
Yeah.
What kind of music, though?
Fiddles and that.
Yeah.
You know when I said they don't use electronics?
Like, they can use a guitar.
They can play a banjo.
They can play drums.
Like, someone's done this and gone, that sounds good.
They're not making, like, house music,
but they are doing it.
They're making houses, though.
Like, making love music.
Like, this is making house music, this baby.
I don't know.
I just want a load of bollocks.
And they all, no.
No. I'm not having it
I think it's all just shite
what do you mean
if I was Amish
and I was 16
like go out into the world
I'd be like
I'm not coming back
but you wouldn't
the sick stuff
yeah but it wouldn't be sick to you
it'd be terrifying probably
do you reckon
yeah
imagine an Amish fella
in his own 16 years old
at like Times Square
you'd be
yeah
fucking blow your mind.
I'd rather have me mind blown than go home and play dominoes on the horse.
No, in a bad way.
What a load of shite.
In a bad way.
People pay to go and basically live like Amish.
They're permanently glamping, essentially.
It's fucking dead expensive in real.
You know what I mean?
I've just found something.
So young, unmarried Amish people,
to test them,
they'll lie beside each other.
If they're going to get married,
they'll lie beside each other,
but they'll both be wrapped in a sausage-style blanket
to stop them fucking...
What's sausage-style?
They'll be wrapped tight.
I'm reading it. So they're basically like, stop them. What's sausage style? Like, they'll be wrapped up. Yeah. Yeah.
I'm reading it.
So they're basically like,
right,
get under that quilt
and don't shag each other.
Yeah.
So they can't even shag?
Not until they're married.
It's getting better,
this,
isn't it?
Jesus Christ.
I don't want to shag.
We're going to play dominoes
and go on an horse ride.
His hand's quite good.
Yeah, there is times where you just haven't been up for it.
And if your missus went, right, do you want this?
Or do you want to play dominoes and go on a horse ride?
You're like, go and get the saddle.
But that's what they got for fun.
They got more than dominoes, surely.
They've got board games.
They've got Monopoly.
Yeah.
And like Cluedo and that.
They haven't got Monopoly.
They have got Monopoly.
How would they have made Monopoly?
They've bought Monopoly in there, haven't they?
They must have done.
What do you mean?
They haven't.
They can buy a board game.
Is it like normal Monopoly or their Monopoly?
It's like, oh, you put a hut on Dirt Alley.
You owe me six coin.
They play Life on the Farm,
which is a bit of a busman's holiday.
Uno. Uno.
Uno.
They've got Uno.
They can bollocks of Amish people,
Amish, whatever you call them,
got Uno, mate.
I don't know how they're playing charades
because they're not going to know
who Tom Hanks is.
Phil, what's that?
Sounds like, is it tree again?
Sounds like tree.
Tree.
You should have got
what other stuff
have they got
Buckaroo Live
Trivial Pursuit
Pictionary
but then they also
play sports
so they play softball
volleyball
and basketball
so they've all been
to Waterstones
and just emptied
the gaff
you've got that one
where you put the thing
in your mouth
and you can't say stuff.
Tory sex scandal.
Oh, the...
Yeah, it's like
the mouth goes off.
Funny, yeah.
They quilt.
They do quilting.
20 or 30 women
sit together
and make a quilt.
Say that again?
They make a quilt together
are you allowed
can I just ask Finn
can you clarify
is it a normal quilt
or is it a sausage style quilt
are you allowed to be
homosexual
I don't think so
it doesn't say it
on this website
I mean that would be
the thing
that would be the thing
at 16
if you discovered that you weren't coming back.
I'm not coming back.
I've been bummed.
Yeah, there's bumming.
There's bumming here.
Bumming exists.
I'm coming back.
We've got uno.
I've got bumming.
Shove your horse up your arse, mate.
If you could do that, you'd probably go back.
I've been bumming.
I've been bummed.
I've done some bumming and I'm staying out here.
Unless you let me and Jeff come back in.
Jeff, he's a cheesy snip.
They like canning,
which is just putting stuff in cans,
making cans to preserve their food.
It's like VR for them.
That's like the height of technology, isn't it?
Cans.
It's like the first week of the NFL.
A favourite item for the Amish to can
is Chow Chow.
They...
Chopping dogs up.
Yeah,
they like putting stuff
in cans
and they like connecting
with others.
That's what it says.
Bumming.
Oh,
that's fucking awful,
mate.
I'm into it,
mate.
I reckon we go
and do the Amish special.
Get Dan and Laura
to clear that Dan can come away for a month.
We go and live Amish for a month and we film it.
Do you reckon you could live Amish for a day?
Yeah.
No electricity for a day?
Yeah.
I do.
Be sound.
Mad.
I'd just like to see what haircut Dan comes back with after a month.
Like, where his hair would be.
I'd love to know that.
I've always wondered that about him.
Is it because I was at the back and sides?
Is it just the back and sides?
Yeah.
I always thought he might have the little Steve McLaren.
We had a hair transplant company get in touch to sponsor us.
And then we offered Dan a free hair transplant
so he went for the consultation.
And they said he was too bald.
That's a fact.
I've got another question about the Amish.
How did you know what time it is?
They've got clocks. Or the Amish. How do you know what time it is? They've got clocks.
Or the sun.
Battery powered?
Yeah, they're allowed batteries.
Quartz, only quartz.
They're allowed batteries,
they're not allowed electricity.
Picking chews.
Do you have Game Boys?
Huh?
Do the Amish have Game Boys?
That's what I mean.
They should catch up with us, technology-wise.
That would be well good.
Like if they're just on Game Gears now and Game Boys.
Sega Game Gear.
Have they got?
No, they don't have Game Boys.
They're still on Pong.
What?
They're still on Pong.
Oh, they're shite.
Are they just there?
Is there any like, is there just,
is there any like Japanese Amish?
Is it just in America, that community?
Is there none in the UK?
I don't think so.
I think it's just in America.
I mean, Pennsylvania was a good...
I just said it because it's...
America and Canada.
Right.
There's 377,000 of them.
I honestly didn't think the thousand was coming in.
There's 377 of them spread across America and Canada.
That's not that many people.
I reckon we could do this.
Harry would be well up for this.
I mean, Harry could definitely
be searching for him.
There's an Amish community
to go and visit.
But they'd have to let cameras in.
Do they allow electricity in?
There's got to be places
that I recreate it.
Do you know, like...
No, I don't want to do...
I want to go and... Yeah, like the Beamish I don't want to do... I want to go and...
Yeah, like the Beamish Museum.
Yeah.
Or like...
Quarry Bank Mill.
I would imagine they'll let us use the cameras.
They just won't touch them themselves.
Yeah, because they're allowed in cars.
They're just not allowed to drive them.
Mate, they're real as a bollocks, you know?
They're allowed in cars if it's driven by a...
Harper, can I go and play with the electric windows?
Or passenger princesses.
I think it'd be interesting
to go and just terror them.
Just have something dead good
that they could never have.
Yeah.
Something like electric.
You'll never get this.
I want to do this.
Like an alarm clock.
Ah, you would never wake up early.
Can I come?
Yeah.
I brought it up.
I'm claiming it.
Let's have a break and go and plan it.
I smashed it.
Here we are.
Hello.
What have we got?
We have got a feature we launched last week on the Patreon,
which is goth or no goth,
after Carl loves telling people what is and isn't goth.
I don't get it.
I don't know if you get it.
I do understand it.
Sometimes I disagree with your judgment,
but I do understand it.
We also found out that you own Ben Sherman.
I own one piece of Ben Sherman,
which I didn't know was Ben Sherman,
because you can't really see it. It's a nice... You can feel it. I went to my dad's second wedding in of Ben Sherman, which I didn't know was Ben Sherman because you can't really see it.
It's a nice, it's a nice.
You can feel it.
I went to my dad's second wedding in a Ben Sherman
and like a daffy duck tie in 1997.
Oh, I thought this was like as an adult.
No, no, no, no.
I was in year eight.
But even now it's still not something I'm proud of.
Like if there was ever footage of me
and I'd, like, done that thing that the odd celebrity do
where they've blacked up and they've gone,
right, do you want the blacked up photo leaking?
Or the Ben Sherman daffy duck tie?
I'd be like...
I've heard about Danny.
He's got caught Ben Sherman and all.
I have never blacked up.
Successful marriage or...?
They're still together, but...
Could you black up, though?
Because you've got black family.
Do you know what I mean?
I don't think anyone can black up,
no matter what their family.
Really?
Yeah.
I think blacking up is just not allowed.
Yeah, no.
Absolutely not.
Okay.
I'm just asking questions.
Do you mean morally or, like, would he want to?
No, I don't think he wants to.
Both, no.
Let's just, let's just like head out.
It's a sausage blanket, no.
Can we call the gavel so he can make the decisions
on this goth or no goth?
Sure, I mean, it doesn't matter, but yeah.
Carl, do you want to give Danny an example or something?
You know he gets it.
He gets it.
I don't have to.
All right, okay.
Right.
So the first one we've got here is over-shoulder satchels.
What?
Over-shoulder satchels.
A side one.
Yeah.
They're not goth, they're gimpy.
Yeah.
And it's not the same.
I had a blue leather Adidas one in school
and I ate myself looking back,
but I thought I was a cool motherfucker. I remember that as well. Yeah. Like bright blue it was, wasn't it? Yeah, with white. Adidas one in school and I hate myself looking back but I thought I was a cool motherfucker I remember that as well yeah like bright blue it was wasn't it like Adidas blue
yeah original white logo on it and you'll you'll remember maybe you will I I went to every gig
in a Ramones satchel do you remember it in it like in it yeah like he's inside that yeah yeah
and then I'd come out like why is he blacked up he's allowed
yeah like always always at it because i had that thing where it's like oh if i don't have
my satchel i'm gonna have a shit gig oh it was a superstitious you're quite you're quite as
superstitious not so much now because what i used to do so i had loads of mad things i'd have to
write on my hand i'd have to like i had certain moisturizers I'd have to write on my hand. I'd have to like,
I had certain moisturizers that I had to put on before a gig.
There was like loads of mad stuff.
And then I was like,
this is mencle.
So I was like,
basically I'll have to,
so what I started doing,
sorry,
was to,
I started not doing them at gigs I didn't give a fuck about.
So I was like,
well,
if I die at this gig,
I'm not arsed.
So then I'd go on and not die and i'd be
like well it's obviously not the moisturizer is it and then i gradually imagine if all this yeah
i was just good at comedy because i'm a moisturizer like it's discontinued but haven't you got health
anxiety like him but like i'm the og i think yeah did you not watch breaking bad because
yeah i didn't watch it and then someone said said, oh, he gets better. So I watched it.
And then they fucking made him ill again in the sixth season.
Loads of stuff.
Spoilers.
I don't know if we've mentioned it.
We've mentioned it on air.
But when I was convinced, when I lived with Dan,
I was convinced that I had motor neuron disease.
Hadn't you written it down?
Didn't you have a page at one point of stuff you thought you had?
Yeah. Didn't you write down that thing Stephen Hawking said? Yeah, yeah, because I didn't you written it that didn't you have a page at one point of stuff you thought you had yeah like and what didn't you write down that thing stephen orkens yeah yeah because i didn't know what it was i didn't know the name of it yeah uh yeah funny voice but like when i just
couldn't remember because i've got a good memory as well so there was times when i just not remember
stuff and i'd be like oh it's early onset dementia like genuine this sounds like a bit and i have
done it on stage but it was a real thing i genuinely was worried about having dementia
because i couldn't remember the last time i had a chicken royale
because i was like no i i and the mad thing is i was trying to say it in my head and i was like
no because i would know i would know the last time i had a chicken roll out and I don't. Mine was in an airport
during the time we get them now.
Yeah.
If you willingly go into a Burger King.
No, they're back.
What?
They're back.
Chili cheese bites are back.
No, the King's back.
What?
You don't go to Burger King, Dan.
Right.
That's goth.
Choosing a Burger King. the king is back right there's a new one opened a new one right in chester it was the old pizza or something on seal and road but it's a new one but because it's a new one it's
got standards now so they're good like when you go to like hearts had more services on the 62
don't you
don't be getting
Burger King then
because you've got like
it's the only time you get it
because you're locked
in a service station
starving
there's a KFC in that one
yeah
but the queue's sometimes too big
Charlie Richards mate
and I'm just
autism again
my favourite one
M40
it's just
it's always the one
when I was going to Blackpool
oh sorry
M6
I think Cherwell Valley I'm thinking of.
It's got like the tunnel across.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you walk across and see the cars.
You're like, I was there a minute ago.
Yeah, and then the next one's Lancaster, yeah.
You are getting more autistic, you know.
Autistic.
Look at you, you're all laughing because you're all noticed.
But the King's Back, like the fries were good.
The onion rings, they give you now like,
hey, do you want four on the side?
Chili.
They sell my favorite fast food thing,
which is chili cheese bites.
They're my favorite fast food item.
But I'll never go there on purpose.
I'll go there because I'm hungry.
It's there.
No, I think what you should do is if you see a new one,
new logos,
they're coming back.
They're doing new actual units,
new outlets.
Just give the king a chance man all right give
them a go goth so over shoulder satchels they're not goth goth no they're like they're worn by goths
so as an item they're not goth not goth cool uh next super dry yeah yeah mate next
has there anything been so more aptly named
like you're wearing that
what's every woman
that you've come
into contact with
like I think
they're like the biggest
money laundering thing
on the planet
because I've never seen
anyone go in
or out of one
who's the lair
yeah
it's the biggest shop
in the world as well
the one in the oaks
is like serious business
like
the Arndale one's
massive as well
I do think if you look i'm not
sure but i think they're they're on the way out i've shut in they're shutting them up is it
japanese i think so uh ted baker so it's going the way of the tv it was one of them if you wanted
something smart the ted bacon number one was sick yeah ted baker's what ben sherman wants to be yeah yeah is it is a mad thing right
when do you know about ted baker do you know anything about it because if i ask this and
you already know it's shit no nowhere to shop when would you say that it started 80s 1983 oh
yes 89 right I genuinely thought
it was like one of them
legacy brands
that came out in London
in like fucking 1836.
Or like Burberry or something.
But no, it was just...
Really modern.
Yeah, 1989.
Mad.
God, that's gone.
Well, it's mad
how big it went quick.
It's one of them ones
that's broken away
as well.
Like Ted Baker's
could be a gimpy brand.
It is.
A lot of it is.
No, but they brought out a shop that sold like just good quality,
unbranded, nice clothes.
Like you could get a shirt in there or a pair of khaks.
Right.
What are you shaking your head for?
We used to go in Ted Baker all the time.
You love it in there.
Them pants are Ted Baker.
You can't see it on camera.
They do stink of Ted Baker them pants do.
No, they did sell the odd like good thing. They it on camera. They do stink at Ted Baker in Pansy.
No,
they did sell the odd,
like,
good thing.
They sell furniture now.
They make furniture.
There's like a Ted Baker
range in...
What?
Yeah, man.
Was that DFS?
Yeah.
I remember when I was a kid,
I thought,
my mum and my brother,
one of them,
were the coolest kids ever.
Are they similar?
Because they went to
the DFS,
come on,
they go,
oh, that sounds fun, they go, oh,
that sounds fun.
I go,
the D is furniture store.
I thought it was
them fucking sofas.
I'd be like,
fucking hell,
that is a good one,
that,
you know,
I'd be like,
this.
You just constantly
try to get to that level.
Never got there.
Still trying.
No.
Next one,
posting split the G results
on Instagram stories.
Port is fucking closed forever.
Blown it up.
It's the gothest thing in the world.
It's the coolest thing you can do.
It's the best thing you can do with your time.
It's a good way to spend money.
Do you think this is true?
I'm with you on the Guinness.
Thank you.
But that's because my granddad used to drink it,
and then when he died,
just to do a thing,
at his wake, I half a guinness
and i was fucking glad he was dead after i'd had it i was like oh that is the one like again i don't
even mean the drink because the drink's fine i don't think the drink's fine i don't care like
i've just won't drink it then it's a pint of olives in it no i'm actually getting into olives
well maybe you'll get into this i'm baking as maybe you're getting into olives. I'm bacon as well. Bacon? Never been into bacon, but I'm getting into bacon.
You warm into bacon?
Yeah.
It's weird what you're warm to.
Do you know what I'm warming to?
That I've always been against?
Sunglasses indoors.
Not against it now.
I think, oh, and wolves on clothing.
I know what you mean.
I used to be totally anti-wolves on clothing.
And now, I see the odd little wolf fleece,
I'm like, ah, slouch a bit.
I've got a wolf fleece.
Yeah.
You changed your mind on hats on stage as well, didn't you?
Because early on, I remember you being like,
I'd never wear a hat on stage.
And I can't remember the last time I've seen a clip of you
without a hat on on stage.
Well, what's funny is it feels like,
and I'm not just trying to be that guy,
but it feels like I sort of finessed everyone,
was like, yeah, hats on stage is shit.
Watch me make all these people wear hats on stage.
And then I was like, hat on stage,
and then everyone's like, hats on stage.
Thinking I was just like first to market with that.
I don't think people copied me.
But, you know, I don't watch stand-up, you know that.
Do you know, I watch Michael Che matters.
Yeah.
Because I heard that he was doing standup in a hoodie
and I just wanted to see whether it's something I could do.
And then, yeah.
It's not very well done, is it?
No, I really liked the look of it.
And I was like, oh, I could wear hoodies now, standup sweat.
Because I used to wear like mad open shirt,
like Lyle and Scott shirt with a t-shirt underneath.
It's a good special, that as well.
Michael Che matters.
Is it?
I can't remember it.
I just was looking at his hoodie.
I wasn't listening. It's really well shot. He does well. Michael Shea-Mattis. Is it? I can't remember it. I just was looking at his hoodie. I wasn't listening.
It's really well shot.
He does it in a warehouse
because he's like,
it's meant to look cool and unique.
So he wears the hoodie to be like,
I can, and it's really good.
But yeah, drinking a drink
and then telling the world about it 50 times a night.
Is there any drink?
Is there anything that you could do
and tell the world about it?
Is it any drink or is it just Guinness?
It was just a pop.
Like what if you had
a pint of Foster's
and went,
oh, I've drunk half of it
in one go.
Two litre bottle of Pepsi
without burping?
I'd actually half respect that.
It's a video though,
isn't it?
Could one that.
No one cares
that you're drunk
on the top of your Guinness.
Some people do.
No one cares.
It's like when you take
videos of fireworks.
Some people reply to me
and I'll post a picture of it
and people reply
me like
class lad well done
what about a full
so
so it's for them
it's not for you
just skip the picture
Carl
I do
half a second
it takes you
so what's the problem
I've been asked
my opinion
can't skip this
say it
it's got
full plastic
lemon a jiff
I'm doing it for the fans mate for the followers sorry Full plastic lemon of Jif.
I'm doing it for the fans, mate.
For the followers, sorry.
The people who play the game.
Next up, Gary Neville.
He's actually cool, isn't he?
The other night on Monday Night Football when they did the predictions for the season,
it's like he forgot to do the homework
and was just like, I'll just do this on the way in
he's stopped watching football
hasn't he
United fans don't like him now
because they feel like
he's being contrary
on purpose
like
he's better than he was
he's not as good as he was
at the start
he's better than he was
when he was a player
and he's not as good as he was
when he first became a pundit
yeah
he kind of was a cunt
you're like
actually he's sound
he's like
oh he's less sound
yeah he's just he's less sound yeah
he's just us
from down the other end
of the motorway
like he is just
yeah
but he's
he's manunited
Steve McManaman
isn't he
right
over eggs
the fuck
Steve McManaman
by the way
is that not Ferdinand
what
is that not Ferdinand
no Ferdinand
like talks about United
in a good way
whereas Neville
will try and like
Ferdinand's more like
Carragher
I love Carragher
in the fact that he's like,
yeah, I'm well biased, mate.
What do you expect?
Yeah, yeah.
You just got to do it.
You just got to...
What?
Roy Keane's the GOAT.
Yeah, I thought you said he's the best.
Steve McMahon hates football.
When he's commenting on it, though,
it's like you've dragged him away
from watching his favourite cartoon.
He's watching Emmerdale.
Yeah.
Like, Steve, the match on, he's like,
oh, right, yeah, no.
Like, Liverpool will create like five chances and like will concede one. favourite cartoon yeah he's watching Emmerdale yeah like Steve the match on he's like oh right yeah no like Liverpool
will create like
five chances
and like
will concede
one
like a chance
not even a goal
and he's like
oh Liverpool
needs to be careful
yeah
3-0
is a precarious
lead
people don't watch
football though
I'm convinced
like
pundits mostly
are
like Real Fernandes
is
he's one of the
most
I hate him so much
by the way
this just drove me mad
can I just address this I tweeted this and I hate him so much. By the way, this just drove me mad. Can I just address this?
I tweeted this
and I've had so many replies
from fucking idiots.
I was watching the Leicester-Tottenham game
and Tottenham were 1-0 up
and then Leicester equalised.
And the commentator,
Alan Smith,
said,
oh,
Leicester have done well there.
If this was a boxing match,
they'd have lost on points by now.
And I was like,
no, they wouldn't.
No. Because you don't lose on points in the middle of the thing. So I now. And I was like, no, they wouldn't. No.
Because you don't lose on points
in the middle of the thing.
So I tweeted it.
I was like,
it doesn't make any sense.
You can't lose a boxing match.
You can't lose a 12-round boxing match
on points in the eighth round.
And people are replying and going,
you can.
What if he's lost all eight rounds?
Yeah, he'd be losing on points.
Yeah, he hasn't lost yet.
And Leicester,
we're losing on points.
Like, it's okay to say that,
oh no, Alan Smith actually meant if this was a boxing match, the ref would have stopped. Stopped. Like, it's okay to say that, oh no, Alan Smith actually meant,
if this was a boxing match,
the ref would have stopped it.
Like, that's what he meant.
And it's okay to say that that's what he meant
and he got it wrong.
Why is everyone just fucking idiots?
I hate Twitter.
Most pundits are horrible.
But is Gary Mayer, is he a goth?
No, he's not a goth.
No, he's just not as cool as he once was.
Right, okay.
Danny Mayer, if Murphy's a goth
couple more
tattoos of cartoon characters
like Pokemon and Mario
no
I think it's fine
I kind of want a Simpsons tattoo
have you got any tattoos
yeah
and a shins
got a couple on me shins one on me calf
aren't they stories though?
No.
Is it just true?
What do you mean?
Isn't it the coins thing?
What was the other one?
Oh yeah.
It's just myth and it's not real.
It's all stories, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's not like,
like,
Hey Arnold.
It's just like,
I just don't think.
I don't think anyone's got a Hey Arnold.
What's a tattoo? They're hair arm they'll be one saying
hey football head or whatever and someone will have it
on his chest
there'll be a half a way patron who's got it within three days of this going on
I've got it
I don't know
I kind of want
I want the lemon from lemon and troy
last one
roll on deodorant oh I hate it so. I don't think it's got. Last one. Roll-on deodorant.
Oh, I hate it so much.
I use it because it's better.
It works.
It just makes your arms sticky.
If you put too much on it,
it does, yeah,
but so does toothpaste.
What are you rolling on?
Pritt stick?
What are you doing with toothpaste?
If you put too much toothpaste in it.
Do you use roll-on?
I'm not against roll-on.
I just normally buy what I grab,
which is normally just spray,
but...
I also have hairy armpits.
I just don't know how it...
It just mats my hair and sticks it all together.
It's horrible.
I know.
It's not doing to me.
You know, that's my...
It's better.
You don't use enough, though.
You always stink.
That's what I think my most unattractive feature is.
What?
I reckon I've got a really shit underarm hair
like it just looks weird like i've got long sleep but it like that looks like a man's up mine is
that okay it is yeah you've all got good underarm hair i'll show you mine in a break i can't i can't
explain it slide a picture in here it's sad it's like pauline it's just it's really sad right it's bizarre my underarm and it's
a weird color like it's not the same color as all my over hair have you been dying your underarm
no that'd be wild what color is it it's like a weird like sandy color and i've got like jet
black hair mad i'm excited to see it's it's odd but I started using Roller in Japan because aerosols
were less to hand
erm
and
with a spray
unless you purpose
you like aim it
lads will just go
and just spray it up
the t-shirt
at their t-shirt as well
that's not what the point of it
it's to fucking
like
put it under your arms
to get the
yeah yeah yeah
if you use it wrong
then the spray doesn't work
most people do
but you can't
misuse a roll-on
unless you're an idiot
do you know
if everyone used roll-on
they'd be less smelly
so roll-on's better
because some people
don't know how to
spray
a lot of people
do you know when you go through
that's not true
one of your fat phases
like me and you
very much like
Sonia from EastEnders
isn't it like
weight wise
Sonia Paul Robinson couple of Sonias over here like me and you very much like sonja from eastenders and it like weight wise um sonja
paul robinson couple of sonjas like a roll-on under the tits yeah fuego really yeah
yeah well better i i wouldn't want to be caught putting that on
yeah that's that's the issue like it's reallyodorising my tits. Like, it's really good.
Do you reckon anyone's got an arse roll on?
Yeah, probably.
Yeah?
What do you mean?
Like, they've obviously got the one for their underarms
and then they buy one purposely
and they just use it on their arse.
What?
Who's that benefiting?
It just means it gives your arse a nice smell.
For who?
For who?
Them.
The seat sniffers.
This goes out to all the seat sniffers.
It's keeping you like just clean and deodorized.
The only time that would ever benefit you
is if like your head was down near your own ass.
Like when Harry's sucking himself off in the bathroom.
I'm saying I reckon there's people
who've like roll on their ass.
Just saying.
Maybe.
Comment.
Comment if that's you.
If you're the one rolling on the ass man it wouldn't if it's an antiperspirant like to dry you out like you'd put it on before you played
footy at dinner so then when you went and sat in the dinner hall you wouldn't have that stress
it's gone that's is that what that's called chef's it's more working like in somewhere sweaty like
hospitality right and you get like uh chubby legs chafing no
i'm talking about when you've just played footy in school at dinner and then you go and sit in a
dinner hall or back in form at the gym as well and you leave that like line on the chair like a snail
oh can i put them in as well people who don't clean them after in the gym so if you sat down
and sweated and don't yeah so. So it's like that, yeah.
Go to jail.
Is that goth?
No, just go to jail.
It's horrible.
You've just put your bum sweat
on the seat.
Yeah.
You sat there in your cell
with the guy that went
through a fucking fire door.
The worst cell ever.
We don't belong in here.
I suppose people do
put talc on babies' arses,
don't they?
So that's just like
early roll-on.
I think talc's like,
it's out of here now. Is it? It's carcinogenic, I think. It's like bad for baby's arses, don't they? So that's just like early roll-on. I think talc's like, it's out of here now.
Is it?
It's carcinogenic, I think.
It's like bad for you, really bad for you, yeah.
Is it, yeah?
Smells nice, though.
Apparently, I mean, like,
that's why... Like burning wheelie bins.
Sorry?
Like burning wheelie bins.
Yeah, don't do that.
Burning plastic, yeah.
If you, like,
kids go to the park and burn a wheelie bin.
Like, the fumes are so bad for you. They say that, though. I just think they want to stop people burning wheel park and burn a wheelie bin like the fumes are so bad for you
they say that though i just think they want to stop people burning wheelie bins big wheelie bin
isn't that a skit
but like they they say everything causes cancer now it does me i didn't like when we were kids
it was like don't smoke and don't like drink too much and you won't get cancer and now you can't
even have like a fucking am butty you know what i mean do you remember when we were in school and it like
come up like the popcorn chicken and kfc was giving everyone bollock cancer what's the sauce
crisp as well yeah what there was like they discontinued it for a bit because they linked
popcorn chicken to testicular cancer and i'm convinced it was just like my mom lying to me
because i was like i want popcorn it was machis Or it was Machis. So it gives you cancer.
What's the source of it? Dr. Pepper.
Yeah, Dr. Pepper.
It gave you cancer.
Yeah.
Maybe that was Dr. Pepper.
Maybe he was a cancer doctor
and he wanted like more patients
because of the healthcare system in America.
Clever.
So he was like,
oh, Dr. Pepper.
He's like,
oh, I've got a tumour.
Like, go and see Dr. Pepper.
He'll sort that.
That's the worst that could happen.
Everything does give you cancer now, though.
I reckon you could name one thing
that would only be a Google article about her.
Soup.
Chairs.
That'd be a specific type of soup, wouldn't it?
I'd say food.
Oxtail soup.
Does oxtail soup cause cancer?
You know, I haven't eaten soup since 1996.
Why 1996?
Because that's when they... They were up for the Euros or something. Yeah, they... cause cancer. You know, I haven't eaten soup since 1996. Why 96? Uh,
cause,
um,
that's when the,
yeah,
the oxtail causes lung cancer and rare bone density deficiency.
It's fucking stupid.
The Amish,
you want a box made?
Try,
um,
I don't know.
Uh,
all right,
then try wood chips.
If you're talking about the Amish,
surely.
Sawdust. Uh, yes. Wood dust can cause talking about the Amish. Surely. Sawdust.
Yes, wood dust can cause cancer.
The Amish haven't got it boxed.
The only difference is they can't go and get it sorted.
Try basil.
Basil.
Brush.
Basil.
Basil essential oil might cause cancer in large quantities
since it contains
estrogol hats hats no what hats what hats don't consume hats do you hats do can hats cause cancer
uh no it says wear a hat to stop cancer
that's why i started doing it on stage a hat to stop cancer. Oh! In the sun. Hat of the Antidote. Put that on a bus.
That's why I started doing it on stage.
Health anxiety,
that was the cure.
Wear a hat.
You won't get that thing
Stephen Hawking said.
Can't have fucking
anything, mate.
No.
Without getting AIDS
or cancer
or fucking cholera.
Right.
We've got some man play
that's been sent in.
You'll love a bit of man play.
What's man play?
You do man play.
I think you're like probably king of this.
Just little things you do to entertain yourself
when you're on your own as a man.
You know, like the most hack one
is like trying to get stuff in a bin.
I'm the best at that out of anyone.
No, what?
Running up the stairs on your hands and feet.
Oh, that's goth.
No.
Is there anything that's sprung to mind that you do?
Not really, no.
Not really. I think it's toxic. If I'm you do? Not really, no. Not really.
I think it's toxic.
If I'm making a cup of tea,
and this is self-destruction,
yeah, but if I don't get the teabag in the cup
by the time it's boiled,
I have to pour the water out and boil it again.
Fuck the planet.
So when you hear it get in there,
you're like, shit, I've got like three shots left here.
And then when you get it in, it's boss.
That last shot, when it's proper bubbling,
you can see it through the camera. If you sink it into boss that last shot when it's proper bubbling you can see it
through the camera
if you sink it
don't make it
when I was a cleaner
I used to be a cleaner
I was a cleaner for 10 years
10 years in the game
used to do this thing
me and my mate
so there'd be two
two cleaners per classroom
and we'd have
in a school yeah
yeah yeah
and we'd have like
six classrooms
on our like
jurisdiction we used to do this thing called bucket tennis which is arguably In a school, yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we'd have like six classrooms on our like jurisdiction.
We used to do this thing called bucket tennis,
which is arguably like should be in the Olympics.
So what it is, you half fill a bucket
and you know the handle on the bucket.
Yeah.
So this is my side and that's his side.
And you have to just knock it over
and it's allowed one bounce
and then you have to knock it back.
And it's well better than you're looking at me now.
Surely you wouldn't hit it back and it's well better than you're looking at me now. Surely you wouldn't
hit it just a little lighter.
Well, that's why
you might be good
at bucket tennis.
But we'd have like
proper fucking rallies
where you're like,
you know,
like the ping pong dudes
and they're like
proper getting into it
and then if it bounces up
and it's the back,
that's how you win
the point the most
is like...
That is a type of man play,
but you've got an accomplice there.
A lot of this is lonely stuff.
You can do like practice.
Was there ever a time where the bucket fell
if you hit it too hard?
Mate, that's amateur shit.
Is it?
Yeah, not on my table.
I don't know.
It depends if you've got a fucking big,
if you've got Andy Roddick hitting it really hard.
Andy Roddick wasn't a cleaner at king school
chester um he might have went there but uh yeah no there's no real tennis people there right we've
got some examples of man play this first one's from dan garbs one of my favorite things to do
is to drop cheesy sweary 90s style hype man lyrics into public sing-alongs a classic example would be
muttering that's right motherfucker yeah in between the first two lines of happy birthday
i mentioned this to my wife and she said yes i'm fully aware and heard me say he's motherfucking
maddie h at my six-year-old nephew's last birthday he's so uncool but i like it it's so dad humor
it's like uh he's just doing it to make that That's not dad humour. He's doing it to make himself laugh.
It's not for other people.
He's doing it under his breath.
Ah, baby, baby.
I feel like if he was doing it under his breath,
he'd have just kept that to himself, though.
He obviously wants the adulation.
That's class.
You like that one?
It's funny, isn't it?
It's from Bobby.
Manplay.
When I'm standing up pissing,
I try and spit through my stream of piss.
That's a good one.
I've never tried it,
but it sounds good.
I reckon.
What happens?
Find out.
Have a go.
Would it just spray everything?
I don't know.
I like,
like if there's a skid mark in me toilet.
100%.
Cleaning that off with me piss.
With your toilet.
Oh.
Yeah,
that's the best,
isn't it?
Yeah.
Like,
put on your skin all the way back
so you get like a fucking power on it.
I thought of a day.
Oh.
I was thinking about being circumcised.
I'm not.
I thought,
because Dan is.
I am.
Are you too?
Your bellend's always out.
Like, your bellend's out.
No, I've got a little
little snood for mine.
It's alright, I was born with it. No, but I've got a little little snood for mine it's alright
I was born with it
no but I got a bought one
you can buy them
it'll last for you willy
yeah yeah yeah
trying to stop it getting cancer
no it is
it is mad
like your bellend's out
mine isn't
gets like
desensitised doesn't it
because it's constantly
rubbing on you
like pants and that
but like I could say like
oh you've got a shy bellend
like
do you know what I mean
he's just away
he's not getting used
he's not pissing or shagging
he's just doing his thing
in his body
it's not my fault
you pull your bellend
out fully to piss
yeah
do you
otherwise it's like a
fucking
I don't do that
I don't have to do that
don't you
no
not fully
just a little one
not like I'm not
wanking myself off
but I'm
how often I just like
I just like
hold me cough.
That's a risk.
How do you hold,
double-handed like that?
That's right.
That's a risk,
because if the stream could start a bit like,
you know where it's going when he's out.
Sometimes like,
or hair.
I make one,
like just to see what it would be like.
Like I stretch it out just to have a little,
obviously my dick looks dead small. That's fan play. Yeah, well there you go. And I'm like, oh, that's what it would look like like i stretch it out just to have a little obviously my dick looks
dead that's fan play yeah well there you go and i'm like oh that's what it would look like if i
was normal next one from don key dick sap and lids you didn't even get that did you i did i've
already seen it right uh sap and lids sometimes when i'm doing the shopping we didn't even get i just thought
his dick looked like a key yeah but i didn't get donkey dick i just like yeah the key dick like
like his dick could open any door sapning lids sometimes when i'm doing the shopping i play a
game to see how many people's trolleys i can infiltrate with random shopping items my record
number of trolleys is 14 at the minute wow see i don't i need all it's a bit weird isn't
it funny i respect it i also like i'm probably the worst person for that i'm the most cynical
person like like i'm sure i'm not like saying the integrity of your readers and listeners is bad but
i think he's done that once and now it's's a thing. Have you heard my moist cake,
my moist cake?
So I've got a theory
that nobody actually dislikes the word moist.
Oh no, you're right, yeah.
They just think that they have to say it.
Because everyone says it.
Yeah.
So it's the same with mushrooms.
If someone says they don't like mushrooms,
you say why?
What do they say?
Texture.
Texture.
They don't think that.
They just feel like they have to say it another one is paris is dirty like it's someone who hasn't got anything
to say about paris and you'll go oh yeah paris i know they'll go oh but paris is dirty in it
i've been you just heard that you haven't you don't know that haven't beans a part of something
locked i've seen i've been there is rats loads everywhere but it's no dirtier than like anywhere
else that's a capital city that's the thing
but people are like
oh they feel like
they just have to jump in
and say something
moist is the one
moist is the go to that yeah
and I think
putting people
putting things in other people's
putting people in other shops
putting people in shopping
is mad
get in that bag now
get in that bag
I remember when I was a kid
I mean mum would have the trolley
and then she'd leave it
and then walk
like I'd go
what are you doing
someone could take that yeah and now it's still in my head if I leave the trolley and then she'd leave it and then walk like I go what are you doing someone could take that
yeah
and now it's still in my head
if I leave the trolley
I'm like
if someone takes that
because you've got to
start your shopping again
but you reckon
anyone's ever gone
like spitting on me
yeah yeah
imagine if you had
exactly what I needed actually
imagine if you had
the last wagon wheels though
yeah
and there was no more wagon wheels
and it's like
oh she's got wagon wheels
that's born into me
don't let your trolley
out your sight
I leave my trolley like in the middle of an aisle.
And I'll end up, like, three aisles over sometimes and come back to it.
That terrifies me.
Like, no one's moving your trolley.
I shop local.
Well, does that mean there's no trolleys?
Yeah, I just go in the butchers and get a bit of meat.
And then I go over the road to the fruit shop and get me veg.
Do you know his name?
Kevin.
Scary.
Kevin the Butcher. Scary? I suppose you live his name? Kevin. Scary. Why is it scary?
I suppose you live in a big place.
I don't like if you knew.
A big place?
I don't live in a big place.
Small towns where everyone knows each other.
I told Carl I was thinking about moving to a town near Nantwich,
just getting a bigger house for the same money
instead of buying in the city.
And he threatened to never speak to me again
he's like
you're gonna have a mate
called like
Ian or something
where
where though
not gonna say on here
I can't remember
what it was called
I don't
Middlewich
no it's near that though
Cuddington
no it begins with T I think
I don't wanna walk down the road
and see the librarian
and he knows my wife's pregnant.
It's not Postman Pat.
No, but it is.
What do you mean, the librarian?
How much is that?
Are you the librarian?
How long has your wife got to go for pregnancy?
She knows.
Why do you know?
Because you've been in the library
and got a book about pregnancy out.
No, but she knows you.
Oh, I'll bring a cake around on Tuesday.
Oh, how awful.
How awful.
Carl has this idea about little villages.
In fact, like, it's right.
It's not Emmerdale.
Like, they're your neighbours.
No, I don't want to know anyone.
I don't want people to know my business.
I think that's what it is.
You do the bins for your entire street?
Yeah, I don't tell anyone.
No, I've started
that this week
I've got an alley key
I've paid for one
and I'm sick of people
you've got a what
an alley key
right
I'm on the end
terrace
and people leave
the bins outside
the alley
but that's outside
my house
and I don't want
bins outside my house
nah
so I've paid for an alley key
and now I control the bins
you want to put something
in the bin
you're going to knock on it you're a bin man now for free yeah well I actually now I control the bins. You want to put something in the bin you're going to knock on ass.
You're a bin man now?
For free?
Yeah.
Well I actually don't use
the bins myself.
I got a tip.
What would your normal
household waste be?
You're fucking Dexter.
What are you doing?
Why the fuck
are you going to
So it's the set up of my road.
We haven't got purple bins.
It's a very small road
we've only got blue bins
which is recycling only.
Yeah. So people leave their bin bags on the floor outside yeah and i i don't want
bin bags outside me what what for like three hours before the bin man comes no she'll go oh it's
sunday night i'll put them out so when's your bit when's your collection tuesday right so report
those people no yes why would i do that because it won't happen and then you won't have to go to
fucking tip no no i've got a tip with my stuff
with your tea bags
because on a Wednesday
if I've got two full bins
what do you do
where do you put them
in a day
yeah
you've got two full bin bags
in a day
Saturday night
you've had a party
you've never had a party
I was going to say
how many parties
have you had
Seneca's had two
in the last two weeks
just that's too bad
human by the way
but if I've got bins
I'm taking them to tip.
I want them gone.
The tip is five minutes.
I got bins.
They're multiplying.
It's five minutes away
and I'll also really,
really enjoy going to tip.
Oh, the tip,
that's man play.
Is this real?
You go to tip
like every week.
So if it gets to like Saturday
or Friday
and we've got two bin bags,
I'll just take them to tip.
If it gets to Monday, I'll go, right, I'll just just wait i'll leave them in the back and then i'll take them out
where's the tip where's the tip mileage wise uh he knows what it is where the old swan no god no
otter's pool it's a long pleasure island it's a five minute i can leave mine and be but it's
within 10 minutes and is there ever how busy is this tip quiet and it's tiny right it's on it's a five minute I can leave mine and be back within ten minutes and is there ever
how busy is this tip
quiet and it's tiny
right
it's on a roundabout
no one knows
it's there really
it's on a roundabout
so you just lash
it back
on a roundabout
looks like a tip
that'll do
it's mad that you think
you were gatekeeping
a secret pub
that you didn't want
anyone to do it
and Carl's gatekeeping
the tip
it's on a roundabout.
You won't know it's there.
Yeah, I just...
People are scum.
Right.
Oh, it's Wednesday, isn't it?
I'll put my chicken bones out for six days.
Yeah.
It was a hedgehog in a bin,
didn't they?
A hedgehog.
What?
Yeah.
I thought that was in the cartoons.
I've never seen one before.
Did you take it in the bins?
I can hear it.
The hedgehog was in the bins.
Imagine if you're like,
sorry, rules is rules.
So let's not put hedgehog food out on the streets.
Hedgehog food?
Yeah.
People are scum.
Sorry.
Where'd you get hedgehog food from?
It's your fucking waste, isn't it?
Yeah, but that's just waste.
It's not hedgehog food.
This is wild, you know.
It's not.
I just like to be clean.
Throughout the past couple of months, you've revealed a lot about yourself
like a lot more
that's made you weirder
I think moving into my own house
has changed a lot
that is wild
just going to tip on you
that is mad
so I weed the front of my house
on the pavements and stuff
and the curb
but no one else does
are they scum?
the council should do that yeah but let's not fucking rely on the council
because they're not going to hardy
I think it's easier to make a phone call
than it is to weed your front
six half an hour
once a month half an hour
because people aren't weeding their front path
and they're leaving their bins and stuff
leaving their bins is not like a crime.
It's not the norm.
No, within a wheelie bin it is, yeah.
But just, we haven't got purple wheelie bins.
We haven't got general waste bins.
They leave them on the floor.
Just the bin bags, yeah.
Oh!
Forget everything I've said.
Thank you.
Right, yeah.
No, but I still don't see how you go in the tip with yours. Because I don't want to be a part of the problem. I make sure I've said. Thank you. Right, yeah. No, but I still don't see how you go in the tip with yours.
Because I don't want to be
a part of the problem.
I make sure I'm clean.
Everyone else should just get on board.
But if you really cared
about edge jogs and that,
you'd take everyone's bins a tip.
I'm not doing that, am I?
Going in the tip with your...
It's like going to the dentist
to clean your teeth.
To clean your teeth?
Yeah, just go in there.
Just do that one.
Just twice a day.
Go on, just brush them.
Don't you like the tip?
No.
I do like the tip, but... You're like such a man to fell a note. No, no, no. This is just go in there. Just do that one. Just twice a day. Go on, just brush them. Don't you like the tip? No. I do like the tip, but...
I feel like such a man to fell in love with you.
No, no, no.
This is the thing, though.
You're talking...
The tip.
Your tip is like my bellend.
It's desensitised now.
You go in the tip too much
and you're taking away the magic of the tip.
It's like Christmas every day.
Yeah.
It's not.
I still feel the same magic.
Yeah, but then one day that magic will die.
The other day I took paint.
I had to ask him.
Yeah, because it's in a special place.
No, he wouldn't accept it.
And I felt great.
Oh, this is a terrible tip.
Chester tip, shout out CH1 tip.
They've got like a shop.
Oh yeah, like appliances and stuff, kids toys.
Just any, like I got like a drinks cabinet from there.
Six dabs.
Yeah.
Like, but there's a little paint bit.
There's a clothes bit
come Chester
we'll go to tip
like stuff people
have chucked away
not merch
yeah yeah yeah
right okay
merch
I thought it was like
tip merch
yeah
when you grow up
new hoodies
dropping on Monday
when you grow up
and leave your house
I don't mind the tip
I've been
you'll enjoy it more
I mean
I can't
believe no one on your street's got a wheelie bin oh it's an alley system uh and the wheelie
bins i don't know what an alley system is that's why i was confused so we've got alleys behind our
houses the terrace yeah yeah you're meant to leave your gunnel i was close you meant to leave
your bin whatever's lazy and leaves them on the road.
She just jumps over the bins.
So do you not have bin men?
Yes.
They reverse down the road every...
And they just take the bags?
They just take the bags.
They do that with mine
because it's a terrace.
They do that.
But everyone on my street's disciplined.
Bin man comes Friday morning.
We lost Brian.
Brian was the man.
Brian passed last year. He was the goat of our our road and now everyone's left the standard slip and i'm
trying to lead by example you're the new brian r.i.p refuse in peace you're david moyes i'm trying to
lead by example i'm trying to be like look can we just keep our you know why don't you write a
little letter and just post it through the letterbox? Just see if there's change. People can't expect...
I know I've left four or five
passive-aggressive things in a WhatsApp group.
And I'm planning one today as well.
What's it going to be?
So I've got the key now.
I now control the bins.
And I'm going to be like,
no more bins in this spot.
And if you want access to your bins, ask me.
Is it only you?
Has no one else got...
Not unless they've bought an alley key.
The bin master.
Yeah.
I'd relish living in your streets
if I didn't know you
because I'd purposefully be
fucking around with my bins
to do your living.
So what I've said...
See, you're number 42.
Thinks he's the fucking bin king.
What I've said in my head,
but I don't know how to say it out loud,
is any bins left,
I'm going to put in the middle of the road.
As like a shame.
What a fucking bin that's, are you?
I found a mouse in my house,
like a month ago,
and it just made me dead angry.
You've got a cat?
The cat probably brought the mouse in?
No, the cat killed it,
but I had aired it in the wall.
In the bay where the bins are.
That's not the bins.
It is.
It's not.
Mice are about, mate. It's rats. Oh, it was just born in the walls, bay where the bins are that's not the bins it is it's not mice mice are about mate
it's rats rats in the walls was it yeah that's what you'll be surprised how many mice are in
your ice like genuinely like they're about yeah but i'm gonna put together the fact that people
left bins outside my window and then a mouse appeared in the way you just start posting
mice through people's and being like this, this is the bins, this.
You did this.
Like, gaslight them.
Go buy lots of mice.
Go buy some mice from the pet shop.
Post one through every door.
Yeah.
And then, obviously not one of yours,
but then you just put it in a WhatsApp group. Put a little stamp on it.
Anyone else got a mouse problem?
A little stamp on the mouse?
Look how we saw you posting them at 2am.
Ah, that wasn't me, that's...
Someone's video, do you have a big problem?
I said, I've got a mouse problem.
But I sent it at half two in the morning.
Before you've even posted it, there's one going,
Karl, why are you posting mice?
Because my road is beautiful
and it's known for being a beautiful place.
It's mice, though.
What?
That's what I thought when I went down it.
It's beautiful, but there's a lot of mice. It's a beautiful place it's mice though what? that's what I thought when I went down it it's beautiful but there's a lot of mice
it's a beautiful road
and
sandals are slipping
so I'm trying to be
lead by example
trying to be the fucking
John Terry
if
yeah alright
good luck with that
so go on the tip of my bags
I feel like that's been me
doing my business
how long you been doing that?
three four months
seen any change?
No.
But now I own the bins.
I've bought an alley key.
How much?
£10.
I said to the person,
I was never given one when I moved in,
she went, yeah, well, you should have been.
Do you know what you should do?
Go Timpsons and get them cut.
No, they're all like laser fellas.
Three quid.
And then sell them for a tenner
to everyone on the street
and just make seven quid a house.
They're all lasers. You can't do that. Lays seven quid a house they're all lasers you can't do that
laser man
it's like them keys
you can't get caught
like specifically
madly
so how have you got one
because the council makes them
I know the ones
the ones that you can't copy
you can't copy my house key
I've got a special house key
you could never cut
you have to order it
off the company
interesting
an electronic key
no it's laser cut it's not we can't cut that yeah the little man Order it off the company. Interesting. An electronic key.
No, it's like,
if you take it to a Timsons,
they go, we can't cut that.
Yeah.
The little man is... Is it called a safety key?
Yeah, it's like, it's all...
Oh.
Listen, I've grown up.
You'll do it one day, Finn.
Wait until you've got your own house
and you've got Pratt.
I never understood Pratt,
what way you live.
I was like, yeah, I just live here.
It's my house.
I can do what I want.
When you own it.
You say you've grown up,
but I'd argue that
passive aggressively
taking your bins to the tip
so other people
don't leave their bins
is the opposite of growing up
what other place you've lived
is your mum's house
no I lived in Japan
I applied there as well
when it's yours
it's like
oh can we all look after this
but I was in my mars
I was like
she can do it
what's the bin system
like in Japan
insane
like actually insane
each bin's got it's own color and if you they will
go through so far so normal i used to have to have if you throw a battery out in general waste
and they find it you'll get like a letter from like the police i used to hide batteries in like
water you can i'm right here aren't i i used to hide the batteries to throw them away
everything had to go in a perfect like a croissant yeah it'd be bittersweet
seneca once stayed in our headquarters in in the city in nagoya and left her hair dryer
to be binned and the the teacher got a train from headquarters to her school and gave her it went
dispose of this properly that's how insane they are about their bins Japanese are mental aren't they yeah insane that's mad that
break time
put your bins away properly
what was the thing you asked
it was a man play
about putting things
in people's trolleys
we'll see you in a minute
welcome back to part three
we've got Russell Hicks here
first time
on the pod thanks Thanks for coming in.
Thank you for having me.
I really appreciate you coming in, man. Thank you.
That was like substitute teacher vibes.
Just make yourself at home, yeah.
How are you?
I'm all right, man. What's going on?
It's a good few years since we've seen each other, really, isn't it?
Dude, I haven't seen you.
Like, I was trying to tell you this out there.
Like, I saw you pre-Empire.
Yeah.
Like, honestly, the last time I saw you was seven years ago, maybe.
Something like that, yeah.
And now I come in, and it's kind of like, you remember in, like, Back to the Future
when Biff steals the time machine, and they go into this new like honestly i'm
outside have a word studios like a neon sign of you like smoking a cigar like welcome to road
world i'm like fucking hell i mean it's amazing man we used to do a lot of like uh highlights
and junglers and shit together that's where i feel like we started working together really
yeah you're like one of those guys that i see on the circuit. Like, we've been to, like, basically, like, NAMM.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
There's a sort of Band of Brothers vibe, I feel like.
Same with you, Danny.
Like, I mean, and, you know, like,
newer comics will come up,
and then this makes me feel so old.
Some of those shit gigs we used to do
are just, like, myth now.
Yeah, they don't exist anymore.
They don't exist.
People are like, oh, I heard about that. Or they or they're the norm like some of the shit gigs now like new acts are
doing like instead of the good gigs what you mean like when they start like they're doing like they
think doing a gig to like eight people is normal like some of the i see they're like oh what there
was people there that paid to watch and they were laughing.
And you're like,
yeah, that's what it used to be like.
Yeah.
I think what he means though,
is like those stag and Henny junglers type gigs.
That doesn't feel like there's,
they've really been replaced.
No,
but it's because trends move in it.
Like it's ax throwing now in it,
like in 10 years time,
in 10 years time,
the ax throwing people would be like,
mate,
I just love that.
There's like ax throwing fans in now,
like 10 years ago, there used to be stags and heads and shit now it's like we so
throw two axes on a friday yeah throw it on a sunday if you were looking on a bank you could
like throw you can throw new axes in a new way now is that still gone now not right this is
how behind chester is they've just they've just opened an axe throwing get a quasar or maybe like
we've just gotten maybe we're on a little quays on it or maybe like we've just
gotten maybe we're on a little bit better gigs you know like when we're because that'll happen
sometimes like i'll be like someone will disappear from the circuit and i'll be like whatever happened
to that guy i guess he quit and then i find out that he's just like a level above me now like he's
doing better shit they're just selling famous now oh oh okay no like i just don't see him on my when was the last time
you did a gig full of stag and hens like because that was that was what those audiences were yeah
doesn't highlight was stag and hens and the odd couple like peppered throughout it i also feel
like they were the only ones though like yeah that was because they were marketed to that they
had like databases specific yeah they were on was it there was like a site called like onion ring or something where you would go and plan your fucking do onion ring
it was i'm sure it was called something like that and you would plan your do and they'd have like
go-karting or comedy and you could put a package together and the package that offered was jonglers
or highlight mad onion ring.com you didn't be a stag lad i was just left it to onion ring.com and then you'd like like if you was a gig you would be like it's like
groupon essentially you would ring onion ring you would onion ring them up wow and say oh well you
put us on here we're doing like a stag package for 40 pound a head or whatever yeah that's the
only time i ever got sent home on a weekend i
did leeds junglers uh and i think it was at like tiger tiger yeah and it was uh you know it was
like christmas time so everyone's doing their work things and i remember i went this never happened
i went back to the hotel that night and i got a call from whoever ran the junglers and we're like
you're we're sending you home because apparently
and i listened to the recording i didn't actually say this apparently in the middle of the show
i was bombing badly and i said uh i said you know what fuck your christmas
and uh they she said that to me and she's like you you apparently told everyone in the room like
fuck your christmas so we're sending you home.
You said words.
Huh?
How did they recover from words?
Yeah, I know, right?
Someone says, fuck your Christmas.
You're like, oh, well, right.
I'm going to have to tell the kids now there's no presents.
Gentlest thing you can say in a jungle.
Fuck your Christmas or we're going to have to get him removed from the bill.
No, and the worst part is, so they were like, we're going to pay you for the weekend and send you home.
But then that club went, junglers went bust. So you didn't get paid? No, and the worst part is, so they were like, we're going to pay you for the weekend and send you home. But then that club went,
Junglers went bust.
So you didn't get paid.
So the idea that I look back
and I'm like,
I did that
and I didn't get paid for that.
Like, what was it for, man?
That was Santa.
It is like NAMM, isn't it?
What was it?
Yeah.
He sorted it, yeah.
He put Junglers on the naughty list.
That was it.
Of all the comics I've worked with,
because obviously you compare a lot and you do a lot of hosting and a lot of it you're obviously great at crowd work
but you do crowd work you've been doing like long before it was popular and it's like now the thing
that everyone does to get clips out back when we used to work together you would go on to do a
closing set and just do crowd work and i was i think you were the first comma i see
seeing like sort of do that right yeah i mean it's so weird now because i think i'm just now
realizing that it's so popular now because my mom because you know like matt rife right yeah
which is so weird i just realized the other, I think the planet just associates that, like thinks that he just created that style.
Yeah.
Well, a lot of people think Paul Smith created it in the UK.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's crazy because my mom the other day was like, she messaged me.
She said, you got a show tonight?
And she goes, what do you think you're going to do tonight?
You think you're going to do mostly crowd work?
And I was just like, who taught you that? taught you that like what like that's our term like even my mom knows the lingo now because of matt rife yeah exactly matt rife fun
yes yes to find out about your mom that dude i went back to i went back for the summer or whatever,
and she was just like, there is this guy.
He's just like you.
And I'm just, oh, it would just ruin my day.
I'd be like, stop.
I don't know the guy.
I haven't even watched that much.
But you know, when anyone tells you,
oh, this person's exactly like you.
I think Matt Rife is a lot better than his biggest critics would have you believe.
And I think he's a lot worse than his biggest fans would have you believe and I think he's a lot worse
than his biggest fans
would have you believe
I think he's just
you know
is that the Patrick Bateman guy
that looks like a psychopath
yeah
like the jaw guy
yeah the jaw guy
yeah yeah
don't know him
looks like plasticine
don't watch comedy
does he wear a hoodie
sometimes
see if he'd have done that
10 years ago
or whenever
when I watched that one special
I might have seen him.
Don't know who it is.
Was that a conscious decision, though,
or did you just always find crowd work easier than writing?
Oh, man.
You know what?
I'm glad I know you well, yeah, because if I didn't,
that just sounded like the most backhanded.
What are you saying?
If you could write jokes, would you?
Did you just find it easier did you just find it easier um fuck you
now i honestly dude i was thinking about this the other day i was like
if you'd have given me a choice like i think most people like your style finds you you don't choose
it and if you just sat me down and been like all right here's three options you know which one do
you want i'd have been like give me clean observational comedian please that's going to
be a much more lucrative sell uh it's just like i was just always better at it like i i started
doing stand-up in california and you do a lot of like
uh bar shows and stuff and i would go on i used to go on with like you know a bunch of material
and i would be like super prepared and you know that the good thing for me is like i didn't even
know that was a thing you could do so i know that's my style because it just started to happen
yeah you know like people would heckle me that was the first thing that would happen. Because I'm like, I was a bit of a raw nerve on stage.
Like I was a little uncomfortable.
So it's like, I kind of like the littlest thing.
I'd be like, what was that?
And then I would just like kind of attack.
And then sometimes the show would tip.
And then sometimes it would go well.
And I'd be like, all right, I got to figure out how to like kind of make it,
like be able to do that in a way that doesn't, it doesn't go weird.
Just imagine you're doing clean observations now.
Just in my head, you're like, screw your festivities.
Have you ever done that?
Have you ever tried just being like, I'm going to do,
I tried that like when you pivot, like have you ever just gone,
you know what, I'm going to try and write some joke, like one liners or not one lap, but like. The only just gone on do you know what i'm gonna try and write some joke
like one-liners or not one like but like uh the only change and then you go you changed big like
seven years ago we were talking about this stuff there so i at edinburgh 2016 i did a show that i
didn't really like because i thought it's what people wanted from me what was that one uh it was
a bit of sweet little lies um and someone said to me because i was like sort of
i got some reviews that i wasn't happy with and i was like but it i want to use it to figure out
what i want to do now mash house no the just the wee one right um mash house one was a good show i
think but like yeah um someone said to me would you pay to see yourself and i was like no and they went
what are you fucking doing then so i tried to become a sort of more americanized opinionated
comic and that's sort of where i started going with it but then i also made a big change for
juicy the the breakup special which is a narrative show and i'm sat down for a lot of it and i like
don't really shout at all until the very end and try to completely change what I did with that as well
because I get,
and I'm in a bit of a rut with it at the minute.
A rut's probably the wrong word,
but I don't know what I want to do next
because I always want the next special
to be a bit different than the one I've just done
because the last routine in the special
that I've got coming out later this year,
I whisper.
The last 10 minutes of my show is all whispered and the reason i wrote that routine is the only negative
comments i see on my clips is all he does is shout him and i was like well i'm gonna close with a
beer when i fucking whisper and you can suck my dick it works huh it works yeah to create it way
it's the best bit in the show like has there ever been a case where you've seen
a comic who was shit completely pivot and kind of turn it around by completely changing their style
i've seen a comic who was shit completely pivot and still be shit
do you know who apparently wasn't great when he started finn taylor like finn taylor was seen as like too dark
and a bit like like not great no one really rated them apparently and now look at him like stand up
wise i think he's fucking brilliant and he's created this his own show that's like made him
massive but like i i remember talking to an agent in the industry and they were like i'd completely
written off and tell we all had like within the industry was just like meh i don't know he's i don't know i don't think he was
shit but i don't think he was i never saw his stuff but i know i remember his like photos though
yeah and it looked very of its time like russell caney russell howardy like hoodies so maybe like
people just looked at that and then yeah it was like we've already got seven of you
yeah and then he and he changed because i yeah, I remember it's funny because you and Finn Taylor,
there's like certain people I just remember when I first moved here,
that Edinburgh, I remember seeing you did a show,
something about kicking a goal.
Your dad was about your dad.
Oh, I ended my show with penalties because it's the best way to end anything.
Right.
So I had a video of me and my dad having a penalty shootout and I ended it's the best way to end anything right so i had a video i had a
video of me and my dad having a penalty shootout and i ended it with the penalties that's cool it
was cool two stars but um yeah me and my dad uh no no i remember watching the show thinking it was
good and then i remember yeah it like didn't whatever the review or i don't know i i remember
you being like uh you were kind of you and finn
like uh you were both of the tron yeah and i remember being like that guy's show was good
and then being like he's getting a bit of a beating and then i saw finn and finn was taking
a beating that year he was just standing out there trying to fly her and he's telling me no one's
coming 2014 that was i think yeah it was 2014 i that. And then it's just so weird to then see people completely turn it around.
Yeah, Finn's doing really well.
I remember walking away from Finn being like, what?
And then others, yeah.
Dude, I don't write anybody off anymore because I have seen people where i'm just like oh that poor kid
i don't know and then massive you know what i mean like it can turn especially these days
it can turn so fast and people do like get an awful lot better like i haven't seen him for
ages but he's had a great run at edinburgh and apparently he does really well on like club gigs
now and in my head because i was like four or five years in when he started I'd just seen him
as like a really new comic
where he was really
hitting this all the time
but apparently
Harry Staccini
is doing really really well
like I had not
unbooked good things
about him for the past
like year or two
and he's gone to Edinburgh
he's sold out every day
he's four and five
star reviews
so people
I'm in the same place
you are
do you know what I mean
because you see Harry
as like a new comic
because it's the first
sort of experience I've had of that of someone i seen as like a new open spot
who was doing all right and now they've become a proper comic like i i've i've not seen that
development loads but people do get a lot better i don't know how much he's pivoted though because
on stage he's like i've seen clips of him he still seems like the same style he always had
i don't think he's changed much.
Maybe he's just better at that.
Yeah.
That's the thing, isn't it?
Do you think you've changed much?
Don't think I have.
No.
Still sick.
He came off stage the other day and he went,
I'm just the fucking best, aren't I? And I just went, yeah, you are.
Because he is, isn't he?
He's not like, he just is.
I'm not trying to blow some more hooking ass, but when it comes to that, you are. So is isn't he he's not like he just is I'm not trying to blow
some more hooking ass
but when it comes to that
you are
so hosting
yeah yeah
no I don't think I've
like because
that's always just
like I said I've tried
I've like
thought about it
and like
but then you realise
don't you
like
it's like when you go
oh I'm going to have
something else for my tea
and then you're like
oh I should have just
had bolognese you know
like why am I trying
to do all this stuff bolognese every night yeah don't change are you
sorry are you bolognese no i don't think i'm bolognese what are you then oh i don't know you
know i don't know pizza no i'm not pizza maybe chicken provencial like a little bit of comfort
food like herby tomatoey that's me hunter's chicken no
hunter's chicken whenever i hear that it just reminds me of hunters hunts is it hunter's
disease or something and it just makes me it's not is it huntington's hunt yeah that yeah that
was on emmerdale once um someone had that once and i didn't i didn't Google it because I was like, oh, I'll probably think I've got that.
That's what I used.
That was my vibe on it.
So I don't know.
It's a good question, that.
What are you?
On stage?
What do you think you are?
You don't want to be liked by everyone, do you?
No.
I'm like Marmite Olives.
Olives.
Fucking world class, but, you know,
some people are stupid and don't like it.
Well done, steak.
No, that should be your bio and everything.
I'm classed, but some people are stupid
so they don't like it.
By the way, so Harry, who does all of our research,
who's sat at the back over there,
he does a bit of research on our guests
and gives us printed sheets.
I think you are such an enigma to him
because here's one of the facts we've got about you.
Once went on stage at Edinburgh wearing a Spider-Man costume.
Now, I don't know how that's like.
How did you find that?
How did you even find that?
Well, one of them is American.
Wow.
So, you know.
Wow, you really dig deep.
How did you find that?
I'm sorry.
Killer journalism.
Why didn't I get one of them?
Because we know you.
Yeah, but I still wanted one.
All right, we'll make one for you then.
Next time you want us a guest,
we'll have it.
We probably did have one
when you were on the couch. You didn probably have seen it you understand it'll be here
i want to know what it's we never normally bring it up i've only brought it up because this one is
so fucking once had a heckler throw chips at him why is that and that's bolded and some of them
are bold they're the big ones oh that's way back dude that was way back the the heckler throwing chips at me i feel like that was
like early days like 2011 or 12 when like everyone if you put a video like that up on youtube it was
just like it could just jim jeffries got punched yeah like that like that was like a thing like
if you had something made jim jeffries yeah so have you seen some people won't say names but
some people have like tried one like they've like
they've been hit with something off and then they've gone this is me i'm out of it and then
they've put it up and people have gone why don't you move someone got hit with a glass why'd you
stand there you pussy yeah was it chips one at a time or was it a whole tray of chips at once? I like that question. Was it a piece of chips?
Also, because you're American, was it crisps?
No, it was a French fry.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, it was one chip.
One solid chip.
Yeah, with ketchup on it.
Oh.
Yeah.
Why?
What had you said?
I don't know.
I probably...
Why are you blaming the victim here?
What did you do?
You also gigged naked.
Huh?
So nothing?
You gigged naked.
I tried that once, yeah.
I was doing a show in Brighton,
and I just came out at the end naked with a sock.
Did you forget your Spider-Man costume?
Yeah, that's what it was, man.
That was that Spider-Man phase there.
I can't go on in normal clothes.
It was a Spider-Man phase.
No.
Dude, honestly, I forgot that even happened.
I was doing an Edinburgh show in the same venue that there was a kids show on.
And I just...
You wanted to get them in?
This dude, yeah.
I was trying to get a young...
I was trying to ship my fan base.
Trying to get them early. But, yeah like ship my fan base trying to get him
early but uh yeah and then i don't know man i just put dude i did edinburgh so i don't know about you
but i i don't think i figured out like what you were supposed to do up there until here's a question
like three times um would you say you regret your debut hour at the fringe uh would i regret it
um that is the second part it said
regret his debut album
so I don't know
where did you
where did you find that
from Harry
Harry come here
come here
dude did you
did you go inside my head
to get these facts
he's your therapist
this is freaking me out
he's your therapist
this is like
I think I went back to
about 2010
on your Facebook
I wrote that yeah there was a there was an interview You're freaking me out. This is like... I think I went back to about 2010 on your Facebook.
I wrote that?
There was an interview you did with some local paper or something.
What a great... He just went through all your...
It says in here that one night in 2011,
you were feeling anxious.
It's good that it's job.
He knows everything about you.
Yeah, dude.
This guy is freaking me out, actually.
It also says... We're just going to go
through all of them
is this like
you want
I am actually interested
in this
you travelled from England
to the west coast of the US
without using a plane
oh
who the fuck are you
he's good at his job
is that true
what is this guy
is it true yeah man how did you do that the
west coast uh i took a cruise ship water so i didn't like to fly i just was like i was i i don't
like flying yeah and i was like well forget it i don't i don't feel like going home taking a plane
so i just looked at other options and you could take a boat, six day cruise from Southampton to New York.
That is less interesting
than I thought it was going to be.
I thought it was like an adventure.
Yeah, yeah.
It sounds like you were
fucking like swimming after it.
Just kind of going on a cruise.
If there's no hot sandwich involved.
Yeah.
Why don't you like flying?
Huh?
Why don't you like flying?
Why don't I like flying?
I just don't like it.
I don't like being in planes.
Yeah.
You're scared. A lot of comics don't like flying. It's a control thing. just don't like it i don't like being in planes yeah you're scared a lot of comics don't like flying it's a control thing i don't like yeah i think that's what it is yeah it's a control thing i'd rather fly the plane did you
really yourself you said that was the you you know what i mean no that's the most you thing that
anyone's ever said yeah yeah i'm not fuck give it here yeah i've seen one episode of krypton factor
i'll fucking land the plane like
when if the plane was going down and they were like can anyone fly this plane if there was no
actual qualified pilot i'd want to do it above everyone else on the plane just do that ridiculous
yeah i'd like i just i need to like for someone who sat in my passenger seat probably more than
any other comic i don't believe it.
By the way, I like how I got punished for his shit research.
It's like, that was way more boring than was written.
Well, I mean, it's not like I came in and I was like telling my girlfriend, you know what, I'm going to tell him the story about how.
And she's like, are you sure?
Because it starts out like a lot better than it
actually is no trust me babe i know podcasts i'm gonna hit him with the eye to eye book too i'm
gonna walk him through how i found it online did you and by the way did you actually think that i
like greta tunberg did to like another yeah like the way he's written back down it does feel like
it's in bold letters by putting it it's in bold letters
by the way
it's in bold letters
once travelled from England
to the west coast
without using a plane
that doesn't sound
like P&O Cruz
maybe he should have done
a little more research
and found out
there was nothing in there
train to Buenos Aires
I love that
I love how he stopped there
stowed away in a case
that's how it feels
first I crashed aboard
yeah I crashed
into a desert island
and then I just sort of
swam it it does sound like that though it said you once disparaged a whole religion
but that was probably you saying fuck your christmas that's what he thinks
you were a medical footballer as well huh you played american football for high school
why didn't you make it what is this fucking podcast what is this who are you why didn't i make it
it's not like i was in the running to be like drafted by the nfl it's because he was riffing
all the plays pure audibles i think it's because over here yeah played for the high school football team
in my head with america that you are on your way to the nfl in my head it's impressive if it feels
like that feels a lot more impressive than me saying i played football in school i did like
one year in high school like right when i got into high school and was like oh okay this is a
different game i'm out of here. I just wasn't involved.
Like, are your football, I don't know why there's like a tradition in American football where the coaches are just like, it's like the military.
Yeah.
Like, I don't know if they do the same.
Like someone long ago in American football was like, the best way to motivate these kids
is to just fucking like scream.
I just remember like we were 14 and guy'd be like are you little fucking bitches
like hit the ground and i was like what are we playing football like what is this man
like preparing people for afghanistan there's some like yeah there's over here that's used by
is that like a thing here i mean yeah it's not quite like military level it's just like angry
scouts dads being like fucking pass it's open you fucking idiots pass it, Tom! He's open! You fucking idiots! Pass it!
Shit like that.
But yes, that's a hard line, isn't it?
Yeah.
But obviously some kids are turned off by that.
Like you were.
Like that doesn't work for some kids.
Yeah, that wouldn't work on me.
That teacher didn't know what the game lost that day that he shouted at you.
It's true, man.
Could have had a kid there.
Huh?
What position did you play?
Quarterback?
I mean, by the time I was in high school,
just bench.
Like I had no interest,
dude.
I was like,
I,
I was like way more interested in skateboarding and smoking weed by that
first year.
Uh,
but you know what?
When I was younger,
yeah.
Quarterback.
I played quarterback.
Yeah.
When I was young,
young.
I,
I,
I'd love like that to like take off over there properly, you know, like play in American football. I was young, young. I'd love that to take off over here properly,
you know, like playing American football.
I think it looks sick.
They're trying to get flag football in the next Olympics.
And all the...
Because flag football is like an actual sport.
And obviously the best flag footballers in the world
are in America.
And the NFL players are like,
oh, class, well, if there's going to be flag football
in the Olympics,
obviously we'll be in the team
because we're proper football players. But all the flag footballers are like no yeah yeah yeah we've been
doing this yeah don't come over here like after you've been touching each other yeah non-contact
that's us i'd love a little game of it i think we need to take football out of the olympics
do the game of soccer yeah i. I think it's pointless.
Why?
Nobody cares.
Do you care?
I don't, but it is one of the most watched things in the Olympics.
That's only because people like it because it's funny.
It's watched less than the World Cup, isn't it?
Oh, yeah, but that's compared to... But, I mean, what I'm saying is if they took it out of the Olympics,
the Olympic viewing figures would plummet.
Okay.
I see what you mean.
I suppose.
Because people, like... I couldn't even tell you who won. Spain. France. Was it Spain or... Spain, France in the final plummet. Okay. I see what you mean. Supposedly. Because people like...
I couldn't even tell you
who won.
Spain.
France.
Was it Spain or...
Spain, France in the final.
And the men and the women as well.
It was Spain and France.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, it just doesn't matter.
It belongs there now.
Well, the women's one does.
So the women's one
is just under the World Cup
as an accolade.
So are they sending
their best players then?
Yes.
Can I play the front for France in the final?
Lacazette.
No one cares. Might be the best player to say in a Scouse accent.
Lacazette.
It's just not serious, is it?
It just isn't.
Put paddling.
It's the same with basketball as well.
America just obviously are going to win most of the time, aren't they?
Yeah, they put the All-Stars out as well.
Huh?
They put the All-Stars out.
They did, yeah.
All their best players.
They got a slap up on the last one, didn't they?
And then took it personally.
Did they lose the last one, yeah?
Yeah, they didn't win the gold.
Oh, really?
No, four years ago they didn't win the gold.
Oh, did they not?
No, no, no.
Canada, France? Canada, four years ago they didn't win the gold. No, no, no. Canada, France?
Canada.
Canada.
Australalia.
I don't know.
I think it might have been
like Croatia or
it might have been Argentina.
I don't know.
They might have won it.
I'm questioning
my whole self now.
Well, the best player
in the world,
Serbian, I think.
Nikola Jokic.
Yeah.
The Joker.
You're a big basketball guy
really, aren't you?
About 5'9 america did win what in 2000 and 2020 yeah 2021 actually what about the one before there's
one that they definitely didn't win and they got it was like a thing yeah because they call
themselves the champions of the world america one oh all of them 16 oh right 2012 oh shit no right
sorry I'm wrong
but I'm sort of right
no it was the
FIBA championships
which is like
the world body
of basketball
it wasn't the Olympics
it was like the
world championships
and they didn't win that
so they were like
right the Olympics
we're going to twat everyone
they did that
yeah yeah yeah
sorry about that
Lebron and Steph
carried them through
despite being the old players
do you know in French
he's called The Bron
you're really happy
with that aren't you
not at all
let's have a little break
and we'll come back
do some letters
from the listeners
press the button please
fancy you stay have you seen the comment that we keep getting as well now people are on to it the listeners. Press the button, please. Fancy you, Steve.
Have you seen the comment that we keep getting as well?
Now people are onto it.
So Steve used to be
in the specials
previously.
What, the band?
No, the school.
His role in the company changed.
He was not in them no more.
And someone comments
every month saying
another special ruined by Steve.
Because he's just not in them oh it's like
you're like Scrappy-Doo
like when he's in Scooby-Doo
you're like
oh not fucking Scrappy
put him down
I love Scrappy
oh nah
he was a little
maggot in
love Scrappy
put him down mate
Scrappy's a good addition
yeah
love Scrappy
bin bag and a canal
never seen that episode he hates dogs you know
russell do you like dogs it's a good test of a man do you like dogs yeah yeah yeah no we're
friends you like me yeah i do i love you so but i don't really like dogs i know but i always judge
you for it's mainly you know what it's mainly it's mainly likes you in spite of it's the proper guy
it's like your dog's not as good again it's it is it's the way people go on about the dogs it's mainly you know what it's mainly it's mainly likes you in spite of it's the proper guy it's like your dog's not as good again it's it is it's the way people go on about the dogs it's
normally people who've got nothing else dog people are weird because i think it's weird to be a dog
person in a way that you only like dogs because they'll take all your shit if that was a human
it'd fuck you off well that's the difference in dogs and cats and dog people and cat people
exactly so that's why that's why people people and cats and dog people and cat people. Exactly. So that's why
people people
are better than dog people
because a lot of dog people,
they're only like,
oh yeah,
I love my dog.
It loves me back.
It's like,
yeah,
you're a cunt to your dog
and it still likes you.
You were a cunt to your mate at work
and he doesn't phone you anymore.
And that's the difference
between dogs and people.
It's a test and consent
having a cat
because a cat loves you
when it wants to.
Test and consent?
Yeah. What? Don't fuck it? Don't fuck your cats. But like a cat loves you when it wants to test and consent yeah well don't fuck it don't fuck your cats but like a cat's like oh i'll come and love you when i want you can't grab it because it'll just fuck off and as dogs are like yeah
that's the difference in cat and dog people i also don't like like i'm not a dog or a cat person like
i've got some fish that i love in a tank your fish no but i love that they're there right okay
have you got any pets russell do you have any pets ever yeah well we have a cat that's kind of like in a tank. You love your fish. No, but I love that they're there. Right, okay.
Have you got any pets, Russell?
Do you have any pets ever?
Yeah, well, we have a cat that's kind of like
our neighbor's cat
came into our house
and we didn't know
it was the neighbor's cat.
Do you know after two weeks
it's legally yours?
What?
Oh, great news.
If a cat's in your house
for two weeks,
you can legally register as yours.
Can I just say,
is that only cats?
Yeah, not dogs.
Or people.
Or people.
Claim it as yours.
Keep it there for two weeks.
Do you like the cat?
Yeah, we love it.
Get her the cat.
Just keep it in the house
for two weeks
and you've bought her the cat.
Also,
if you run a cat over,
you don't have to do anything about it,
but if you run a dog over,
you'd have to stop
and call the police.
It's not do anything about it.
It's don't have to stop.
If you run a cat over,
it's not like you can leave it there. You can. No, no, but I'm saying the rule is you're not meant anything about it. It's don't have to stop. If you run a cat over, it's not like you can leave it there.
You can.
You can.
No, no, but I'm saying the rule is
you're not meant to slam on.
No, but you also don't have to notify anyone.
No.
Apart from your mates,
like fucking should have seen that then.
If you run a cat over,
you can just keep driving, mate.
Get to where you need to be.
If you run a dog over,
then you have to be like,
oh, for fuck's sake.
Got to find out who this cunt belongs to. Or you or you can go oh i thought it was a big cat yeah you don't have to like you can kill cats
no one's fucking shit on cats man you can get kidnapped and run over and no one doesn't care
about it catnapped like do room 102 now go what's that yeah we're going to room 102 so we've been
doing this for a few
weeks is it weeks months i don't know all blows into one russell have you got anything that you
want to banish forever yeah it's a room 102 i didn't even know we were recording where was it
was that whole time i've been sitting here i was like uh yeah all right what was the first thing that i wanted to to banish
um all right you know when you're like and this happens a lot at the airport
you'll be in line how'd you know huh yeah exactly you mean the boat or the port
on the random times i'm at on the rare time i'm at an airport i'll be like
you you'll be standing in line and it's like a soup a really long line the people who stand
behind you and at the slightest movement they have to move forward as well and it's usually
like they're getting so close to you you'll even just move ahead just to get a little bit of distance. And then they have to come up.
Oh,
I know.
I hate you actually.
I'm the person you're talking about.
I'm,
I'm behind you going fucking move.
No,
no,
no.
Listen to me.
The line isn't moving up ahead.
Do you know what I mean?
So like,
it'll be just like,
cause people like you see this thing. You're just, you're in your, you be just like, because people like you, see this thing,
you're in your little world,
right? But there's more
world outside of that. So the line
hasn't moved. I just, I'm
trying to get a little bit, because you're breathing on
me. You're right behind me.
And then you've got to come up.
We're not going to get there any quicker.
You know what I mean? See, people like you,
I feel like it's a good sign.
But if the line moves and you just stay there, just like...
See, you're impatient, you know?
I feel like it's a good sign.
Like, whenever someone does that, I'm like,
I don't know, man, this guy must premature ejaculate.
You know what I mean?
Is it impatience?
Impatience.
I hate people who don't fill the gap at traffic lights oh man i know we can't go
anywhere but i want to be there quicker yeah blow their head off and leave their car there yeah um
just a couple of cars that's the other one yeah it's like if it's traffic is not it's at a stand
still and then the the guy that'll be behind just honking that That's me. And it's like... Oh, no, no.
Yeah, but what do you expect us to do?
I mean if they're not filling the space in front.
Yeah.
Even if there's nowhere to go, fill the space.
Yeah, get me closer to my destination.
Why are we hanging back all the way back here?
Yeah.
We could be six yards from here.
But there is no space.
If it's at a standstill...
Oh, no, standstill, yeah, they're stupid.
And those people that are just honking, it's like...
Yeah, because...
Where are we supposed to go here?
Yeah, but if there's like a car's worth of space in front not even that not even that mate half a car
yeah one click on the on the fucking the trundle wheel a meter a meter yeah fill the gap just fill
bumper to bumper yeah pull up to me and you know when like they leave the gap and then the gap gets
filled by a external car that wasn't like

i will on the motorway i'm just there i shouted this is mad i shout random shit when i was
so someone did that and and filled the gap and i wanted to there was someone in front and then
there was a gap and i was like i can just move and there was someone in front and then there was a gap
and I was like,
fucking just move
and then someone just undertook
and I just went,
that's you that is.
Like,
that's on you.
That's your fault.
Push on.
I did it today.
Joe,
if someone lets someone out
unnecessarily
and then you missed the light by one,
I'll just drive to the red light.
Yeah.
And if you get pulled over,
you should be able to go,
nah, it was him.
It was his fault.
Do you know when someone lets someone out
just out of the goodness of their heart
when they don't have to in front of me?
Like, you're just driving down the road
and they just stop.
And they're just like,
go on, mate.
I'm like,
who do you think you are
to make the decision to slow me down? Go on, mate. I'm like, who do you think you are? The worst one as well.
To make the decision to slow me down.
No, you don't get to decide.
You're holding me here because you want him to like you.
You want this cunt to like you.
Why does him liking you outweigh me liking you
just because I'm behind you?
I think you're the cunt now.
You want a little wave?
You want a little wave, do you?
Yeah, it's a net negative.
You've got a net negative, yeah.
Russell, you've started something to do with Q&A.
I know.
This is taking on a life of its own now.
Just, if you're in the way,
fucking get out the way as best you possibly can.
While we're here as well,

If it's chocker.
Fair enough.

Because if it's chocker, it'll, it'll then,
there'll be traffic and just knit between the cars.
The people who press the button and then cross.
Oh.
And then you get up and they've crossed.
No.
Some, you should be able to turn it to green again. No no you should be able to get out and go fucking wait there now

I don't even remember.
Did you have any others?
Yeah.
I feel like this happens to a lot of comedians because we'll be like... Let's see. I don't even remember Did you have any others? Yeah I feel like this happens to a lot of comedians
Because we'll be like
Let's say
I don't know
I find myself
You got a lot of free time in the day
So I like to wander around
You know what I mean?
Or if you're like doing a gig somewhere
It's like really nice
And you're like
Maybe you're doing a corporate or something
And you're in like a nice hotel
And you're sort of like walking around before the show
I don't like those people
Who work there Who will come up to you And they'll say nice hotel and you're sort of like walking around before the show i don't like those people who work
there who will come up to you and they'll say can i help you when they don't really mean can i help
you they're really trying to say like what are you doing here you know what i mean and i always in
that situation i always force their hand i go no i'm all right where are you huh where are you in
the usk it could be anywhere it could be like uh it could be just like i don't know maybe you're in always force their hand i go no i'm all right where are you huh where are you in the ask it
could be anywhere it could be like uh it could be just like i don't know maybe you're in like uh
you're in like a like let's say you're doing like a corporate gig or something and you're in kind of
just like a nice place that has a gate you know what i mean like in like a hotel yeah or like you
know like canary area yeah or i've spoken about this before with like overzealous
shop workers they're the worst people in the world when you walk in a shop and they're immediately
like you're right yeah i was let's know hey do you want to have a look at this over here i know
what i'm looking for fuck off and it's not even a shop it's not the shop workers fault it's their
bosses it's big shop that's who's doing it they think that's how it like they make
more sales if someone's like over the top tries to help me i will leave the shop yeah yeah yeah
like even if they've got what i want i never understood that either when you walk into a
shop and that salesman comes straight at you i was like this is having the total opposite effect
right now the way i want to leave this place all saints all saints love putting jackets on you
they do though like if you go if you got this on it's putting them on you they they do
though like if you go have you got this in like at large they come over and they're like yeah no
i'll just put this i'm like i know how to put the jackets on yeah yeah is that from america
is that an american customer service thing don't put that on us no but is it because american
customer service is slightly overzealous and kind of on top of you because... Yeah. Is it come from there or has it always been...
I don't know, because it happens everywhere over here
and we're not in America.
Also, I get it.
If that's the first time that shops have been going on.
Yeah.
Oh, is this how it works?
I asked you for my size.
I've been...
I'm not boasting.
I've been to loads of shops, me.
I know how it works now.
Well, if you walk into Argos for the first time,
they've got every right to ask. Yeah, exactly. You don't know what's going on in there right here's a question because i haven't been for ages and nando's still asking if you've been
before every single time yeah you should grab a badge i've been before and then you just go in
you wouldn't wear that like a like a peri peri lanyard like the sunflower lanyard
you just go in and i'll put my lanyard, like the sunflower lanyard.
You just go in and go,
I'll put my lanyard on.
You've changed the rules,
haven't you?
It's all like,
you can do the ordering on the app.
No.
I don't do that, mate.
No, I don't do it.
I don't trust it.
I don't trust it to get to the kitchen.
No, I'd rather speak to a person.
I'm like an old person.
I'd rather speak to a person.
Yeah.
Do you do self-checkouts?
Depends how many items I've got and whether I can be arse-packed
like doing it.
If I've got like a full basket. I avoid it. I only do it if I've got and whether I can be arse-packed like doing it. If I've got like a full basket.
I avoid it.
I only do it if I've got a couple of things.
Yeah.
If I've got like ale or,
I say ale,
I mean like red wine for gravy.
Or paracetamol.
Or paracetamol.
Then I'll do it.
Then I won't do it.
But can you still steal from them?
You used to be able to,
they used to be so good at stealing.
You can steal, yeah.
Apparently. They steal. Still at it. I heard you can steal. Greetings cards don't weigh anything. But can you still steal from them? You used to be able to, they used to be so good at, you can steal, yeah, apparently.
They still,
still at it.
I heard you can still steal.
Greetings cards,
don't weigh anything,
do they?
If you get one without a badge on,
that's gratis,
that.
I don't know whether they still like this,
but anything that doesn't have an official weight,
didn't,
like,
wasn't registered to be weighed by the machine,
because they were like,
we don't know how much tellies weigh. Do you know what I mean? If you're taking a telly, you need to sort weighed by the machine. Cause they were like, we don't know how much telly is way.
Do you know what I mean?
If you take it,
you do the self check.
But like,
like an alarm clock.
Just put it through his broccoli.
Yeah.
Cause it's just like,
it was like,
yeah,
broccoli could be there.
They don't know.
Do you know what I mean?
Like the machine doesn't know you've put an alarm.
Can you imagine how much broccoli that is?
Guy at big Tesco's like,
fucking someone just bought four stone of broccoli.
Have you got any more room 102s, Finry?
Well, is that your lot, Russell?
Have you got any more?
I got one more.
I don't know if you see this a lot.
I was driving.
We were driving the other day.
And this is like a thing, I I guess a lot of people do.
I see someone driving,
and they've got their phone up on the dashboard,
and they're watching TikTok videos while they're driving.
And I just think...
In this country?
In this country, yeah.
No, I've never seen them.
In this country?
Because you're watching TikTokiktok videos probably yeah
in the year of our lord 2024 so dangerous though like while they're driving yeah we just passed
the sky he's driving see multiple people driving he's just watching tiktok videos and i just think
we don't we don't need these people you never had the match on in the world
in the car oh you're one of them are you you do it no I don't have my phone on the dash
I've got the audio
yeah that is
by the way
use an A to Z
I'll have the audio
on for the game
I'll never watch
you don't watch things
in the car
that's dangerous
in Jack's van
there's a DVD player
with a screen
in the middle of the dash
honestly
but we did
on the tour
we watched
what film is it in bruges
in bruges every that was the only thing we watched but we watched about 15 times
great film though psychopaths man just driving tiktok videos hitting cats you don't have to stop
i actually think you should be allowed to do whatever you are capable of doing in your car
if that person has never run anyone over i think crack on you have to pass a test then yeah yeah there should be a text at the wheel
to test yeah there should be yeah because i can do it i need three double cheeseburgers
yeah driving yeah that would be great actually you could take a special driving test where you
can text and drive and if you pass it you don you're good at that. What if you fail it? You don't get any license.
So you should have to go to them and go,
here's everything I'm capable of doing while driving.
And they test you on it.
And if you fail any of it, you don't drive at all.
Yeah, imagine failing it because the new tops on the drinks.
You didn't know it was going to be a new top.
You could just take the test drunk.
You just see people driving.
You'd be so jealous when you'd be looking over at this dude with like just double fisted mirror cans.
I am never safer at driving ever
than when I've had two pints.
More relaxed.
No, not more relaxed.
I'm more, I don't want to get pulled over
because I've had two pints
and I might be just over the limit.
So I'm a pair, I indicate.
What?
I slow down to zero to take corners you indicate i indicate you know what that's like though man you know what like i feel like you
think you're like that you remember wolf of wall street where there's that scene where he he's like
and i drove home and everything was fine and then they cut to like he had crashed it into the
fountain that's you driving over you're like i'm perfect it's like when you're on a bomb mission
on grand theft auto and you're like right i'm stopping at all the red lights yeah you know
like you don't want to hit your car so you're like and you're doing all like that two pints in i'm
oh i can unwrap a double cheeseburger get the gherkins off and put them in the bag with one hand
and you should and you know what i think you should have the right to do that well like no one's ever
going to stop me for that are they well yeah they can because it's driving without due care and attention if like there is a rule like the policeman like because
i always had this like mad like daydream where i've put myself in this situation so i'm there
like this the way you use the word due yeah driving without due care and attention
but you got your cops don't pull over as much it's incredible care and attention. Just calling people over in Prestwich.
But your cops don't pull over as much.
It's incredible.
Yeah, it's amazing.
When you're in America
and you're driving
on the freeway,
you're just constantly...
And they, like,
properly hide as well.
Like, it's not fair.
You know what I mean?
They'll, like,
you'll go by
and the sheriff
would just, like,
pop out of the ground.
Like, they really, like... What do they want? what do they want just to like shake you down yeah yeah shake you down yeah no but i mean if you're not doing anything wrong what are they
doing they'll find something man yeah it's usually speeding or whatever and they've got guns no yeah
yeah yeah but aren't you like isn't drink driving much less of a taboo in the States?
What?
What?
Do you?
Why?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like a lot of people,
I feel like it's more of a strict thing over here than it is in the States.
It's really not a thing in Dubai.
Weirdly.
Like they're all pissed out there.
Like genuinely.
Really?
Yeah.
Like people just get blathered and drive home.
Cause it's like.
To where? Saudi Arabia. They're not expecting it. What? Yeah. Like people just get blathered and drive home. Because it's like. To where?
Saudi Arabia.
Because they're not expecting it.
What?
They're not expecting it.
It's just not like a.
It's not like a.
The police aren't looking for it.
Yeah.
They're too busy looking like for men holding hands.
Yeah.
That's so funny, man.
It's just like someone's swerving by.
Like get out of the way.
There's two guys kissing over there.
No, he's like. He's like's like no he pulls the guy over and they're like the guy he's like what why why did that passenger bend down it's all right officer he wasn't sucking my cock he was he was
picking up my flask absolutely fine gentlemen you just keep moving on then i've been stopped once
and i was doing like 38 in the 30 and he went,
what were you doing there, mate?
And I was like,
I was speeding.
I was like, yeah.
He was like,
you've got anywhere to go?
I was like, nope, just going home.
You're not in a rush?
I was like, nope.
I was just being a dick.
He went, you've got a nice car,
haven't you?
I went, yeah.
And he went, oh, okay.
Let's don't do it again.
Just because I was honest.
He was like, cool.
I got stopped on edge lane.
So I like caught the light
but like didn't
I went through
like the red
like a second after it had changed
and
he put his lights on
come over
and stopped me
in the middle of like
the junction
and was like
what happened there
and I went
I went through the red
didn't I
and he went
yeah why are you doing that
I was like
because I want to get to where I'm going
quicker
and he went
don't do that again do you understand me that's illegal and I went yeah I know yeah I was like, because I want to get to where I'm going quicker. And he went, don't do that again.
Do you understand me?
That's illegal.
And I went,
yeah,
no,
yeah.
I was just like,
you know,
I knew it would be safe.
So I just,
sorry.
And he was like,
right,
go on,
on your way.
I hate that.
Also,
I'm no expert,
but I reckon it's less dangerous to go through that red light,
knowing that there's like four seconds before the other light goes green,
than it is slamming on.
Yeah.
With the one behind you.
I don't know.
I couldn't have slammed on, mate.
I was doing 60 miles an hour.
Dangerous.
Whenever I've been pulled over,
I've been pulled over quite a few times.
Only because I got a fleet managed car
from where my dad used to work.
So when you run the plate,
it comes up that I'm not insured on it even though i
am because it's like a fleeker yeah so that's why they've changed it now but that's why i used to
get pulled over but i got pulled over for speeding once and it wasn't much and i just went look as
soon as you open the window i was like he goes why have i put i said look i might have been going a
bit fast but you need to know i was driving properly i was fully in control and i wasn't on
my phone.
Before you... What did he say?
He said, well, you swerved a little bit.
And I went, yeah, I sneezed.
Which I did.
Yeah, because you close your eyes to sneeze.
Exactly.
Like people talk about like how driving on your phone is dangerous,
but we need to have a chat about hay fever at the wheel.
Like fucking hay fever at the wheel might be the most dangerous thing.
And you can't control it.
Didn't you get stopped
because you were going the perfect speed to be chased?
Was it you who told me that?
Was this you?
I'm sure you told me this when we lived together.
So you were doing something like 85
and the fella Paul Jim was like,
if you were doing 90, I wouldn't have caught you.
Cause I'd have been like, he's too quick.
He's going to get away from me.
So, and if you're doing 80,
it's like you haven't done enough for him to waste his time.
You go on the optimum speed.
I can't remember.
That's amazing.
That's so British to me.
He was like, oh, that's too much effort.
Just let it, I'm not going after that.
Also though, he would have caught me.
Like they've got like super cars in it.
I was in like a little Aussie.
He'd have well caught me.
Also I had to slow down.
You have told me that't say that was him
yeah i'm pretty sure maybe it was he was like yeah if or maybe you said like someone stopped
you and was like i only chase people if they're doing like 85 you know what if i could like you
ever think like if you could just do like have live your life and be able to do something and
be like all right reset that didn't happen i would totally cause a police chase wouldn't that
be wicked like you're never gonna get to feel I would totally cause a police chase. Wouldn't that be wicked?
Like, you're never going to get to feel that.
Oh, it would be class getting chased.
Wouldn't that be fun if you could just do one thing?
No, if you're getting away with it.
No, like, if you could just be like,
all right, this doesn't count,
and then you can go back to your life.
Like, you get to try one thing,
I'd be like, oh, wicked.
I would just...
It's like buy a city and sell it to stag doos.
Yeah.
Buy, like, a really run-down city and be like right this
fella's gonna chase you chernobyl what chernobyl's going you know what there was a that was a good
example in the difference of our income right there that you that you adam just went well why
don't you just buy a city and i'm like oh yeah i guess you could do that. Have we got any others? Yes, we've got a few Rumo 102s.
This one's from Dave Stock.
Brioche buns.
That's what the policeman said when he's speeding.
Brioche buns.
I'm eating a burger and if I wanted a cake,
I'd have a fucking cake.
It's a savory dish and it was delicious
before you food nonces started pissing around with it.
Brioche buns need going in the bin.
But we know why though.
We know why we're there.
Right?
Nope.
So the high sugar content
means they don't go off as quick.
Right.
That's why.
That's the cake, innit?
That's the reason.
They last longer than normal bread.
So restaurants will obviously
just buy brioche buns.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled
was convincing us that brioche buns
are actually nice.
So restaurants don't have to buy more bread.
It's big bread.
Just buy the right amount of bread.
You know how many burgers you normally sell.
Just buy that.
And yeah, you can't beat a little normal seeded bun.
A burger bun?
Yeah, you just can't.
So much better.
And they're everywhere as well.
It's not just restaurants.
Like the fucking bun aisle in Tesco
is like brioche everywhere.
And there's just like one gluten-free seedy one on the corner it's like i don't want that but yeah she's had a good
decade yeah bollocks so it's in and they and they say it like on menus like it's a positive like
you know lovely brioche bun fuck off there's brioche hot dog rolls now oh bollocks man come
on i love a bit of brioche i just wanted to experience the level of hatred that
this one's from kieran throw into room one or two the fact that flies bees and wasps can fly
directly into any window but don't know how to fly back out does everyone's head in just turn
around what that one that bit that end bit doesn't make sense But flies that come in and don't know the way back out. Flies?
Flies in Room 101.
Yeah, I'm up for putting flies in Room 102.
I don't think any of us are big fans of flies.
Go on, flies.
By the way, they got name just because they can fly,
and that's the sickest thing ever.
No other animal got runs.
Ooh.
Like gazelles.
What? I know, I agree. Now I'm just trying to think of another example yeah bees can't fly can they like technically no they shouldn't be able to for
the size yeah like they they break the laws of physics because they got bunda yeah but flies
would name because of what i think it's sick there must be there must be something else
that must have been they must have been like the first
animal to fly discovered yeah you know what i mean oh flies here's a question that's probably
been asked and answered like the orange the humble orange the fruit which way is that named because
it's orange so it's named after the tree right so the the question is always is it the fruit or the
color it's neither it's neither the tree qi bell was called the orange tree always, is it the fruit or the color? It's neither. It's neither. The tree was called the orange tree.
And then that was the fruit of the orange tree.
And then they called orange the color because of that.
Right.
So orange, the color is named after the fruit.
Yes.
But the fruit is not named after anything.
It was named the orange tree first.
Well, obviously the tree came first because it was like an orange.
You see that, mate?
That was an
example of some good research there you see what i'm saying you know what i mean oh no good facts
relevant honestly i looked at that page i was like this is like this is like all my failures man this
guy like opposite uh last one and then we'll do uh have a word to round us out this is from abby
room 102 people
who put official or shit like that in their social media handles when they're just normal people
but all normal people dude the blue like official what do you mean is it like no one's really
surely just like official it is moist i've seen it well i it's like the blue tick thing like that's
just jumped the shark completely right because like people will follow me after shows and they'll
be like happy mom loving wife loving wife, blue tick.
I'm like, I don't know.
That's on Twitter though, isn't it?
Because you can buy it now.
But you can do it on.
You can, you can buy it on Instagram.
Can you buy it on Instagram now?
Yeah, you can buy it on Instagram as well.
It doesn't make any sense though.
It's if you're a business, I suppose it's useful.
I guess.
But like as a person, yep.
And also someone will say
that they haven't bought the blue tick.
They've bought the service that you get a blue tick with. And also someone will say that they haven't bought the Bluetick. They've bought the service
that you get a Bluetick with.
So you can upload more.
We avoided as the company,
the Bluetick on Twitter for ages
because it looks stinky.
But then like the upload longer videos
and HD videos,
it just, we need.
Editing tweets.
Yeah, we need that.
So we pay for it.
Otherwise we wouldn't.
Yeah.
But we don't display the Bluetick.
We do.
Oh, do we?
You have to.
What's the official though?
What they don't like? Just official. I've seen some people you're saying like people who like work in tesco be like official tom
jones the official tracy jenkins yeah yeah right like you can't be doing that if you just uh
no if you're just tracy jenkins if you're just a... No. If you're just Tracy Jenkins. If you're just Tracy Jenkins, like...
Right, okay, we've got a couple of have-a-words to round this off.
This is a brief one.
This is from Luke.
Now then, lads, have a word with my mate.
He wears jeans to walk his dog.
TurboGoth behavior.
Swear what you want.
What?
He wears jeans to walk his dog.
That's fine.
I think he's gone off the route of you not liking jeans
on airplanes.
Yeah,
that's mental illness
to wear jeans
on a flight
because you need
to be comfortable.
I've done it.
Dan wore jeans.
Dan Nightingale
wore jeans
to fly to Nashville.
Yeah,
I wouldn't that far
but I've like,
if I went,
I've been to Amsterdam
in jeans.
Yeah,
because you're on the plane
for an hour
and you want to be there
and already dressed
like flying to Nashville in fucking jeans. Sat in business in jeans yeah because you're on the plane for an hour and you want to be there and already dressed like flying to nashville in fucking jeans sat in business in jeans oh my god i don't like that i
don't like people when they wear jeans but i also don't like when people are in kind of like what's
supposed to be you know tracksuit work but it's like so nice you know what i mean you're making
the rest of us feel bad you know what i mean too you did that, they're like athleisure is just too glamorous.
I like that.
That's what I want to look like.
I'm all for just wear what you want.
Like what annoys me.
You've got to wear jeans on a flight.
No, I'm talking about,
this is fine.
It's just outside.
People, no one like,
do you know people think it's weird?
Someone like,
someone came around to ours
and I was in jeans
and they were like,
that's mad.
Why have you got jeans on in your house?
Did you know?
Have you had you been out?
I don't know.
You don't put jeans on to stay in.
You don't wake up.
You don't wake up and put jeans on.
They were insinuating that as soon as I got in jeans off.
No,
no,
no.
You can keep your stuff on.
Yeah.
But you're not getting ready in the morning to stay in and watch the fucking
sliding into me. Jeans. not getting ready in the morning to stay in and watch the fucking weakest link in your jeans.
No, I'm not fucking sliding into my jeans like Wallace and Gromit to sit around the house.
That's fucking mental.
The only guys who walk around their house in jeans are like 80s action heroes.
There's always that scene.
Lou Ferrigno.
Sure, yeah.
I'd go to so far as to say.
Lou Ferrigno.
What, that's a perfect example?
I've been in my house in jeans more than I haven't.
What?
Clothes-wise.
You sleep in your undies?
No, like clothes-wise.
Oh, that's insane.
Like shorts, trackies, trousers,
well less represented in my house than jeans.
Can we all just say trousers in the house is mental?
No, but I mean like
a Chino.
What are trousers?
Has Russell got trousers on?
Yeah.
You know that's what it is.
It's a Chino.
It's a Chino, yeah.
What are you getting at there?
I'm asking what trousers are.
This is a trouser.
I've got a trouser on.
Trousers to me are like soup pants.
Oh, yeah, but
where is the soup pants in the house?
Is this not a trouser then?
Well, Steve's got trousers on.
No, they're just kegs. Okay. Well, what do, but what is this? Is this not a trouser then? Well, Steve's got trousers on. No,
they're just keks.
Okay.
Well,
what do you got?
You got chinos.
Finn's got trousers
with a capital T on.
These are chinos.
Stand up and jump
on your trousers.
These trousers?
Yeah,
they're trousers,
isn't he,
them look.
You've got an air
of trousers.
No,
trousers,
that's insane
because like,
what are those like,
you're saying like dress pants? Yeah. Oh, that's like a serial killer. Yeah, trousers. That's insane. Because like, are those like, you're saying like dress pants?
Yeah.
Oh, that's like a serial killer.
Yeah.
If I came to yours
and you had to go
with trousers
and I could wear a UB
and you were like,
nowhere.
I've been the tip.
With trousers on.
In the house, I'm naked.
Honestly,
if you came,
I'm just going to get trousers
and then like a collared shirt tucked in,
I'd be like, oh, am I,
did you want to get back to watching
your child pornography?
Or should I?
Get back.
I'll be like the serial killer.
Yeah.
Yeah, this fella's,
the one who's written in is a tit.
He's got it, he's listened to us
and got it wrong.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's trying to be our mate there.
He's wore jeans to the pub.
What a fucking lunatic, lads, eh?
No, just going outside.
Hi.
Right.
Last one is from Harris.
Wag wag lids, love the pod.
Fucking hell.
Good acting.
Pod.
Could you please have a word with my ex for using me?
Long story short, my ex is a woman's footballer.
We were friends before we dated,
and she was the one that wanted me first,
as she added me on socials and was showing me lots of attention.
We became official about a month later
and did the usual boyfriend and girlfriend type dates,
such as mini golf, and we met each other's parents.
The reason I feel like I was used was because we started dating,
she had a torn MCL,
and then on the day she went back to football for rehab
for her knee during pre-season, she broke up with me over text.
I feel she used me and was only with me
because she was injured from football.
Have a word.
I mean...
She has used you and it's awful.
Has she though?
Maybe she just got bored of him the same time her knee healed.
Coincidence.
Yeah.
Over text though.
That's not what the issue is.
I'm telling you right now, I will die on this hill.
Breaking up with someone over text is the best for everybody if you're gonna break up with someone like the mature like
societal things do is to meet up with me like look i'm not it's not working out why are we all doing
that then we've got to cry in front of each other i think that's how ghosting got started because
like i remember so it's like, ghosting is so bad.
I'm like, yeah, but you know what?
I remember when you would craft a beautiful message.
Yeah.
And the reason we started, I think people started ghosting is because you would send
that and you would inevitably get something back that would be like, you know, I don't
even care about you anyway.
Like you lose it.
And you'd be like, oh, what's the point?
Why did I even, you know, I sent this beautiful message.
Text breakup is that we need to remove the stigma of it because people are scared to
do it. It's class. It because people are scared to do it.
It's class.
It gives them the space to do it.
You don't have to speak.
Yeah, but even out, like, no matter.
I don't pass.
He's got something to say about it.
Yeah, but like even, but there's got to be a,
if you've been together a certain amount of time,
you can't do text.
You're saying like a seven year long-term relationship.
I think if you broke up with Celica,
the best way to do it
would be over text messages
14 years engaged
with a mortgage
just text her
be arsed
text
where is she
she should be in the house
yeah exactly
from upstairs
you better be gone
by the time
I put my jeans on
no I think like
yeah like six months
you've lost the text phase
probably
yeah sure
this is
yeah you're right but that's
because of this bullshit stigma that needs removing it's the best way to do it i've never done it but
it's because of society's pressure on me what if you what if you really like the girl like really
like the girl and she texts you and it's not working you'd be like okay you'll be like what
i'd rather that than her come and do it in front of me so i have to cry and like beg her to fucking don't go just don't do that i'd rather be pathetic on my own just don't do that though
wouldn't you would you want to deal with that i'd rather them show me the respect
yeah this is what i'm saying this one i go ah we're done and then you carry on watching the
fucking i don't know teletubbies what about a? What happened in this episode of the Teletubbies?
I told you, man.
Guys who wear trousers around the house.
Dude, guy comes up to your door,
trousers, he's got Teletubbies on in the background.
I'm calling the police.
And watching Teletubbies.
What if it's a written letter?
No, that'd scare the life out of me.
No, but like,
you could say that she's respected you enough
to actually put some effort in. Nice stationery. More than than a text but if someone broke up with me over a letter i'd be so scared
do it from the past like a time traveler no because i'd get to the end yeah just see it
it just says we we're not together yet but when we are it's over if you're gonna break up with
me text me and i'll sort myself out don't
worry about it yeah i was arguing with this it was a mate and we were just arguing over instagram
about like it was comedy stuff and i sent my message and then he was typing and i just put
whatever that is don't fucking send it because i'm not gonna read it and then that was it
you know when it then the typing just disappeared i did it on the Xbox as someone who was arguing I beat a game
of FIFA
when they message
I go by the way
I'm blocking you
so you can't reply
I've been arguing
with people in the
past like X's and
stuff and like
they're typing
and they're not
and I'll just text
something like
hey fucking spit it
out stop being a
shit house and
just say whatever
you want to say
what a lovely guy
if I'm arguing it's fucking nuclear war about phone call is that
a better way of doing it no no text me i'll be sound really yeah that's mad it's not i'm right
a year you've all been hoodwinked by society you live with them a year yeah like a year you've been
together a year and she just goes on text you one day you're cool with that i'd appreciate a bit of an explanation so just like hey look this is i'm not feeling anymore
i think we should break up here's why soz about me i'd be like i get it nice one for doing it
no you'd go ashley she said soz about her i knew it was her i knew it was nothing to do with me
yeah class no buy me a skedan what like take me out for food
and you pay
and at least
I can you know
have something nice
like you're putting
a dog down
break up with you
over dinner
in a restaurant
yeah
in a public place
why not
I'm not gonna cry
but like I'd rather
you wouldn't cry
if Seneca broke up
with you
yes I would
that's 14 years
with this guy
this lizard
yeah
football
I think she's just it's sad
i think she did you no favor like she's done it so that you don't have to be pathetic and
and well by the way that didn't go the way when he said oh she's used me i thought and then he
said oh she's a women's football i thought it was going to be well more sexist
but big up to him
I thought he was going to be like
and she made me explain
the offside
and then left me
like I thought he was going to
get into his bag there
but he didn't
I thought it was a penecha
that's all she wanted
that's a podcast
