Nasty bitch
I'm big boned
I'm heavy structured
I'm hung low if i pull my
shit out this whole room get dark disgusting it's the end of the world as we know it and i feel like
podcasting two mics two lids and a lot of time on their hands this is have a word shut down dailies
let's get through this mess together.
Hello, dear lad.
Now, how are you doing?
How are you doing, Adam Roll?
I'm doing all right.
I'll be honest with you, Daniel.
I didn't have the best of days yesterday.
I wasn't on the best form for the rest of the day.
It happens, doesn't it?
It happens.
I could tell you weren't quite right because, you know, we're comedians. We can put the old show face on.
I did a gig the night my granddad died.
You put it on.
It's sort of hard doing podcasting
because you can't just go on autopilot
and do the set that you know.
But you were fine.
I was having a nice time.
And then you got to the end and you were like,
there's a video out of that one.
Nah.
All right, see you later.
I was like, okay.
So I was like, I think there might be a video out of that when you were like, no, I don't think there is. Right, see you later i was like oh okay so i was like i was i was like i think there might
be a video out of that when you were like no i don't think there is right see you later see you
tomorrow and then i saw your tweet later i'm going i've not had the best days i was like oh shit yeah
nah nah see that do you know what happened i just i got like this i felt like overwhelmed
with emotion i nearly just cried for no reason. Yesterday night, I was just on the couch and I went to Jade.
I really want to cry and she went, well, cry.
Then I went, I can't.
I just feel like that's what I need to do.
It's not that simple, Jade.
I can't just cry.
It was really weird.
I had a feeling in my chest and in my head.
And the only way I can articulate it to you is
they both felt the same,
but I don't know what the feeling was.
It was so fucking weird.
And I was trying to explain it to Jade
and she just come over and just has a stroke on me beard.
You basically shut down
even the most stoic, you know,
working class Gauss comedian
who hasn't cried properly
apart from when
Liverpool win
Champions League
since like
the mid-naughties
you're basically
Anchorman
aren't you?
I'm in a glass case
of emotion
it feels like that
it feels like
you're like
there's things going on
I'm grumpy
I'm angry
I'm sad
I think you're having
a shutdown period
I think that's what's happened
I was having a little
man period
that's what it was. I was having a little man period. That's what it was.
Bleeding from my arse.
IBS.
I'm bleeding from my brain.
Yeah, it's fine.
Well, you dealt with it great.
I felt like I needed to be doing something,
but I didn't want to do anything.
And then today, I've just woke up.
We had some breakfast,
and then I got me Alexa,
you know, like the little Amazon Echo thing. I had some breakfast and then I just, I put, I got me Alexa, you know,
like the little Amazon Echo thing.
I got here to just play some music
and we started tidying the house up
because the house was getting a bit messy
and I was just being in a fucking great mood.
You know,
and you got the tunes on
and you just tidy them around.
Once the ball's rolling,
I fucking love writing a to-do list
and this is how much of a knobhead I am.
I write some really fucking easy ones at the top.
Like, I never, like, if you've got your tax return to do,
you never write tax return first.
That job will stay at the top of that list for five fucking months.
Write, ring my granddad.
Bang.
Then I'm like, I pop your eyes like,
yeah, well, the football's turned off.
I'll see you later. I'm like, right, great. One the football's turned off I'll see you later
I'm like right great
one job
tick
and it gets the ball rolling
and even though it's trickery
it makes me feel like
don't be a knob to Laura
you alright babe
I love you
tick
job done
job number one
start writing a to-do list
smashed it mate
don't have a wank
ah fuck
well that's you know
I'll put a maybe next to that one tidying up self though made. Don't have a wank. Ah, fuck. Well, that's you know.
I'll put a maybe next to that one.
Tired enough self though.
And I need to get this off. It's really tidy because I'll tell you about this later. I can't really
say much right now, but there might be a little exciting
TV opportunity coming up
live from Adam's house that I might have to get you
involved in. I'll tell you about this in a bit.
The actual fuck?
The actual fuck?
What the fuck? That's the first voice voice that's gonna go if it's an actual tv opportunity adam we really like it what you're doing at the moment with uh

bring to the party um african voices okay i think the line's gone whoa i was doing jordy oh yeah
sorry sorry oh oh i just went out uh a walk around the woods
which is becoming
you know
without even dogging
is becoming
really fucking good
that is a
even though it's just
an hour of dicking around
you just come back
and you're like
I've bloody done
something today
it's all trickery innit
just rather than be like
oh fuck
didn't do that
around the house
didn't you know
just having a walk
around the woods
it was quality
because there was a guy
walking his dog and that and Etta just went what's that man doing and we
were like walking walking the dog and then she literally about 50 yards away she just went what
what's she doing just walking the dog she went what are you doing man
fucking amazing little three-year-old and because like normally you'd be like oh what a cute
three-year-old because there's that air of like the police may be stopping you and you do feel
like even even if you drive to do exercise like that's not really the rules all of a sudden etta
who he doesn't even know the covid19 things going on he's like what the fuck are you doing man
what are you doing and he was like who the fuck is all right yeah it's just a kid being a weirdo
overconfident little three-year-old just getting eggy in a field near chester good on your kid
i walked i walk our dog like every day for about an hour we've got a park like quite nearby i just
let her off the lead she has a little roam around yesterday we were there and this little girl comes
up and goes can i stroke her and i was like no you cannot i do not know where you've been child
fuck off away from my dog you germ ball of filth.
Usually it's you holding the dog back like,
oh, I'm sorry, sorry.
She's just a bit friendly now.
It's like, get your fucking dirty COVID-19 child
away from my beautiful dog.
Get away, you rabid little child.
I banish you.
You are banished from the Pride Lands.
Yeah, that's mental, innit?
Have you got that feeling of like
it's i mean we're only like three weeks in it's probably gonna there's gonna be more of this to
come but my mate ben in newcastle was just like i am making arrangements with every fucker for
everything like if anyone if you could you could invite me to a bar mitzvah you could invite me to
like a fucking neo-nazi i'd just be like yeah I don't agree
with any of that stuff
and I'm not Jewish
but I'll be there
I'll be there
is it a social event
I'm up for it
a sesh
a fucking kindergarten group
anything
he's like
I just wanna
do you feel that
inclination to be like
I wanna make some arrangements
or do you feel like
it's just pointless
do you feel like
it's a bit hypocritical
to go to both a bar mitzvah
and a neo-nazi
what I was
what I was doing there
I feel like you've got to pick a side there.
I was ad-libbing,
and I'll be honest,
I'm not quoting him verbatim on that one.
That's not exactly what he said.
He's not agreed to go to both a neo-Nazi meeting
and a bar mitzvah.
Do you know what?
I'm going to go and fight for Israel.
I'm going to go and fight for Palestine.
I'm going to do both.
One day I'm going to be on one side,
another day I'm going to be on the other, and
I just want to help people. I just want to be
outdoors, do you know what I mean?
Yeah, that would be
a bit full on, but that inclination
to just be like, oh, I want to do something, I want to arrange
shit, I want to do, or do you just think,
fuck it, what's the point, because you don't know
when you're going to be able to do it?
I haven't been arranging anything
personally, because I am quite pessimistic, so I still think we're looking at November before we get back to you're going to be able to do it? I haven't been arranging anything personally
because I'm quite pessimistic.
I still think we're looking at November
before we get back to normality, to be honest with you.
I'm still sticking to that.
Do you think November for everyone out of the shutdown?
I'm sort of coming around to your thing
that I think letting people in comedy clubs
might be a slow release,
but I don't think the shutdown's going to be November, is it?
No, I think the shutdown for shutdown is going to be November is it? I think the shutdown for us
is going to be maybe July
but I think it's going to come in stages
so I think maybe
obviously July will technically be the school
summer holidays I don't know what they're doing with stuff like that
I don't know whether they're doing the same with the
school year that they are with the Premier League
where they're like as soon as we can reopen
we're going from there and I don't know whether there's
kids going I'm not going to a fucking
school mate it's July
I think
the first thing that could reopen would be
the schools then it might be
restaurants with social distancing
enacted where you know a limited amount of
tables they might let that reopen
I think it'll come in stages when I say November
I think we'll be gigging again in November
and by us being
able to gig in dark damp basements filled with 200 people that's got to be pretty much everything
back to normal hasn't it yeah i think we're the last two we some good news from spain though
they're reopening non-essential shops like they've just announced that that is the next and that's
happening in the next couple of weeks you're like well they only went in a shutdown two three weeks before us so that's
pretty good news really isn't it that already although maybe spain are going a bit early
i think i think spain are going a bit early and i also think that they've actually handled it
better than we have um they got quite bad at one point but
our
government has fucked it a bit
I'm really worried that
there's going to be a couple of other countries that
come out of a shutdown
and then a lot of the public in the
UK are going to put pressure on the government like
well fucking Italy are out, Belgium are out
Spain are out, why can't I go
to the beer garden?
And I think our governments are so fucking shit,
they're going to go,
go on then.
And I think we're going to come out of shutdown.
I hope I'm wrong about this.
I think we're going to come out of shutdown
and go back into it.
I think they're going to let us out too early.
More people are going to get sick and die
and then they're going to go,
right, back in your houses.
You can see why the pubs and nightclubs and comedy clubs
are going to be hard to...
Because how do you tell British...
You almost can't be like, right,
what we're doing is social distancing, yeah?
Everyone that's going to be in a nightclub,
you can go dancing.
Of course you can go dancing.
And you can drink at the bar,
as long as you queue with a two-metre space.
But there's crosses on the dance floor,
and they're taped out in black and yellow tape, like in the co-op or after and you dance on that space like how does that you can't like if you are going to do social distancing how are british
people and their like communal booze problem that we're all a part of and i've enjoyed my life
because of it how are you gonna be like right you're into clubs and bars. Stay away from each other. It's just not, it's not.
I can see us being last to be let into.
Hey, girl, can I buy you a drink?
What do you want?
Double? Do you want a double?
A single?
What mixer?
What?
What?
Turn that music down
I can't hear you
there's no music
whatsoever
it's really
you really have to reach
to try and finger someone
on a dance floor
listen you're gonna have to
meet me halfway here Beth
come on
come on
speaking of fingering
oh my goodness me
if this is a proper segue
you're getting a round of applause
go for it
it really is.
Speaking of fingering, I've got an idea.
Oh, sorry, me missus is coming in.
Oh, my goodness me.
Jade!
Did you think I was calling you?
Speaking of fingering, yes, dear?
Speaking of fingering, you called.
Jade! Fucking hell, Jade's up for it. All right. Yes, dear. Speaking of fingering, you called. Jade.
Fucking hell, Jade's up for it.
All right.
Anyway, short pod today.
Someone mentioned fingering.
Oh, fucking hell, mate.
The W digits.
For a new feature that's sort of been inspired by an email we got.
So the new feature I want to do is breakup stories.
I think you did one the other day about your fucking,
your ex climbing out the window
and fucking off to Newcastle, right?
And someone emailed in about a story I used to tell on stage
about a breakup I had.
He said it was the funniest thing he ever heard.
He can't really remember the story properly
and he wants me to tell it again on the podcast
which I'll do in a minute. Oh,
finger in. Oh, I have set you
up beautifully.
But,
I think there's going to be loads
of people who listen to this who've had horrendous
breakup arguments but there's a bit of humour
in them. Do you know what I mean? That's what my
one is. This is 100% true, right?
So,
me and my first long-term girlfriend
who I mentioned the other day, I won't repeat her name
because I don't want Sophie to listen and get
angry.
You see what I did there?
I said me, not the bitch!
Yeah, so
we were in a relationship and it was toxic as
fuck. We just
hated each other towards the end. And on the final night, we're having a relationship and it was toxic as fuck like we just hated each other towards the end
and on the final night we're having
a proper proper argument
right and then she went
oh I just need sex we need to
just have sex now and I was like sounds
I'm happy with that because when I'm arguing
I do just want it to go away a lot of the time
so I was like okay we'll do that
you were building up or you were at the peak
of the argument or was it on the way down where how early i can't really remember it can't
have been at the peak but it was it was probably just past the peak when it's sort of fizzling out
but it's still there yeah you can't bonk while you're still arguing like and you are a fucking
no but that's not yeah you've got it's got to be sorted, sort of. The next day, we woke
up, I'd stayed in her house,
and she's like, come on, I'll drop you off at
yours, I just need a day on my own.
And we got in the car,
and then when we got in the car, she started, like, the
breakup argument.
Basically beat me to it, and I was like,
she's like, we're just gonna, like,
it's just, it's not working, we're just
getting angry with each other and all that all the time and i was like yeah yeah yeah yeah
and because i'm i can't help this once i feel like something's gone i'm just not asked anymore
right so i was in no like i don't feel like there's anything to talk about i was in that situation
so i'm like right it's over's fine. She'll drop me off
at my dad's. I'll come and get me stuff
that I've left in here as a different day. And then it's all
just done, innit? It's just over.
It's not worth, like, crying about it in the car
or going, please don't leave me because I want you to leave
me. It's over, right?
But because I was so nonchalant about it,
she wanted, she needed a fight.
She needed an end of
relationship fight, right right she couldn't handle
the fact that i was just like yeah it's over and it just dropped me off she wanted some reaction
she needed she needed a reason to go he said this and he said that not just well i said i
wanted to break up and he went okay so she needed the fight right No, it's not okay. Hang on. You were dumping me. Well, now,
hang on.
What a bellend.
I'm just like, yeah, yeah, just
drop us off. She's like, you've not got
anything to say? You're not bothered about this? I was like, well, obviously
I'm bothered. We've been together however long
and it's never nice
when you break up and that, but I'll be alright.
I'm sure you'll be alright and be sound.
She's like, I just feel like there's no emotion in you. It's like you're a sociopath. And I was like all right. I'm sure you'll be all right and be sound. And she was like, I just feel like
there's no emotion in you.
It's like you're a sociopath.
And I was like,
no, I just,
I've accepted that it's over.
You obviously want it to be over.
So just drop me off.
And it's not worth
having a big fight
and getting in a huff
with each other about it.
Is it like,
I'm still going to be
in the nightclub
that you work in quite a lot.
So we,
and I think I still work there
at the time actually.
I was like,
so like,
we're going to have to see
each other and work. So it's better if we can just be amicable in it and just not the time actually. I was like, so, like, we're going to have to see each other and work.
So it's better if we can just be amicable in it
and just not have murder.
And she was like, yeah, but it just feels weird to me like this.
And then she went, and this is, I swear to God, a direct quote.
Do you know what?
One thing I need to mention, actually,
the way you fingered me last night made me feel like a slag.
Now, when she said that,
she was so
serious, right? She wasn't saying
it as a joke, but she caught me so
off guard that I burst
out laughing. I couldn't breathe.
She's going, do you think this is fucking funny?
That I was made to feel like a slag
by my boyfriend in my own fucking bed.
Now I'm crying, laughing.
I can't breathe.
You can't do that to someone. I can't breathe. It's like, you can't
do that to someone. You can't
make them feel that way. This is disgusting.
I should be made to feel like
a princess by my boyfriend.
And I'm now in the fetal position
in the footwell of the car.
Tears streaming down my face. She's like, is this funny?
Is this funny? I was like, yeah. Because no one
in the history of fingering has ever
been fingering and thought, I feel like royalty right now, babe.
This is really making me feel appreciated.
Finger me like a princess.
It's to start the engine, isn't it?
Fingering is to make you feel a bit dirty.
It's not meant to make you feel like a fucking goddess.
It's to make you feel like a fucking dirty bitch.
That's why we do it.
But you got back together and now you're married
that relationship was so doomed it's unbelievable
anyone any girl any and this isn't again it just because we're guys it feels like we're having a
go-go's anyone you try and split up with is then starts the breakup you go do you know what it's a fair one and then
takes fucking exception to the fact that it's gone too easily and starts a breakup argument
just for their own fucking weird satisfaction is a massive twat flap
like how how how sam was that gonna be like do you know what this isn't working and you were like
yeah no i don't think it was working she was like oh fuck you you fingered me in a way that made me
feel dirty like what a dickhead have you ever been dumped have you mean like dumped us in i don't want it to happen yeah no i i've only ever had it
go on jade's my third serious relationship right oh no like me and jade have got had big arguments
in the past where like one of us has decided that it's over and two hours later it's not
that's all bullshit if we get back together it's like null and void in it yeah no so there was my
first one that i've just told you about that was literally our breakup argument we didn't really
speak much after that and then um what are you laughing at just there
i could just imagine the next boyfriend comes along like a month two months three months down
the line and he's like you know what I really like you and she's like right well what you need
to know about me is look at me this is serious you know they're on like the the fourth date in
revs or something like I just want you to know just put your cocktail down yeah I need to be fingered like a princess and he's like fuck
another psycho
yeah
the second one
we were it was a very
very complicated relationship she
moved to London at one point
and then we
sort of stayed mates then she come back and we were going to give her another
go and then she
did something and I was just like I can't be arsed of this
anymore. So I just fucked it off. I never, literally
never spoke to her again. She rang me the next
day and was like, hiya, you alright? And I was like, why are you
speaking to me normal? And she was like,
I just feel like we just need to talk it out.
And I was like, again, no, no, no we don't.
It's over. Don't ever speak to me again. Delete my number.
Fuck off. Put the phone down. I haven't spoke to her since.
Oh mate, that's a beautifully
aggressive, clean break.
I got dumped once.
The only time I got proper, like, dumped,
it wasn't me trying to work it round.
I was like, oh, this is going all right.
It was a girl called Amber that my sister worked with.
I met her on my 30th birthday party.
My sister was like, oh, we're going to a party in Manchester.
My brother's having her 30th.
And she was like, do you know what?
Can I come?
And my sister told me about her, said she's a real character's kind of a couple years younger than you she lived in paris
for a bit she's finished an art degree and now she's working at my work and whatever but she's
going to go and be a teacher and as soon as i met her she's something about her and we went out for
about six weeks got on some of the time but the rest of the time you could tell you know earlier
doors where you're pissing each other off and you're like this isn't a good sign is it she also had a really weird tendency of like as
she was describing things like trying to she grabbed the words out of the air which is one
of the more unusual things i've ever fucking seen so she'd be like it depends what you're talking
about like oh do you know what i remember school school was great teachers and she'd like start
grabbing at the words like she was actually trying to pull the memories off a fucking shelf in her head and
the first time you say you see it you're like oh she's a character do you know i mean she's very
she's very visual by that like people who talk with the hand but they're grabbing like they're
getting something off a shelf but i've never i've literally never seen i've never seen it do it for
multiple conversations.
She was like, oh my God, let me tell you about school, like children, fun, you know, innocence, nostalgia.
And she's like grabbing at the air.
And when you start bugging each other, that's the kind of shit that you, as you're like getting annoyed by each other,
you're like, oh, that's fucking annoying, isn't it?
How she just fucking grabs.
Annoying, Dickhead. Grab.
Grab.
Nostalgia.
Always ended with nostalgia.
So it wasn't working out,
but I was like, you know what?
She's fit.
That's classic lad, isn't it?
Like, yeah, I don't think we're going to make each other happy,
but there's nothing in it, but she's fit.
And I didn't see the dumping.
She was like, can you come round?
I think we need to speak.
I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, no worries.
She sat down.
She was like, listen, this has been on my mind for for a week or two my my head and my
heart are in different places my heart's telling me yeah do you know what like not working out my
head you're great we get on brilliant she's grabbing at things she was like I just think
we should maybe just be friends and I was like all right cool yeah all right yeah let's just be
friends that's fine so I was like all right that was an yeah alright, yeah, let's just be friends that's fine, so I was like, alright, that was an
amicable breakup on it, so that was
I drove away, spoke to my mate Bondi
classic mate
like, you know your kind of mate
he's the closest person in the world, but he's never
nice about anything like this, like he's
like my best mate, the guy I go to first
but he's never
he's never very tolerant of this shit
and I was like, told him the story i was
like oh yeah we just agreed to split up so we've just it's like a mutual separation and i told him
story and he went what i went yeah so i went around to hers and she went can we talk and
she went we should just be friends and i totally agreed so it was mutual and he went what told the
story again so i told him again he went you got fucking dumped you got fucking dumped I was like no no in my head
I honestly didn't know I'd been dumped
because I'd never been dumped before
I didn't know how it went
I thought a dumping went
I am ending it
I thought a dumping was like
I fucked someone else and I'm sick of your face
grabbing at things like annoying slap head
shit glasses,
borderline stupid accents.
So I expected a dumping spot like that.
I didn't know you could be fucking sucker punched
by some like girl going,
I think we should talk
and be friends.
I was like, yeah, I agree.
He was like,

arrogant i'm like no one wants to dumb this guy i'm great fun i honestly didn't know i'd been
she wants to be my friend she suggested it she basically asked me the question but it was if if

How can a guy this bald
wearing such pedo glasses
be so arrogant to think
no one would want to dump
this fucking little
Nordic keeper?
Oh, dear.
God bless him, Bondi.
Didn't let me down, General.
So if anyone else

along these lines,
I've just got a feeling
there's going to be some
absolute doozies in there
we want your
break up stories

what did they say
if you did it again
would you say it
any differently
get them in
to have a word pod

and like the grandad
the dead relative stories

and said something funny
it does have to have
that air of comedy
it can't be like
yeah so
I was with this person
my fucking hit her
with a lamp
and she got back up
and ran the fucking
gardening fork
right through me chest

ah thank you
ok boys, let's do another feature
already
would you rather do this or would you rather
do that, make a decision
but make sure you
make one, cause Adam needs
closure
would you rather, no fucking about no prepping would you
rather only ever be able to eat food using cutlery or never be able to use cutlery again
oh i love it on the face of it it's so innocuous
but Adam's like
oh that's what the shutdown
has done to us
like oh shit
didn't realise
we were going to get serious
I think I'm using cutlery
it's easier to eat a pizza
with cutlery
than eat a curry
with your hands in it
what are you having?
I'm having soup
oh I hate watching daddy cornflakes What are you having? I'm having soup.
Oh, I hate watching Daddy cornflakes.
It's not even the end of the bowl.
Yeah, you can put up with being called
a Tory for cutting your pizza with a knife and fork.
Well, actually, now,
hey, I'm not trying
to sound like a Tory.
I voted Lib Dem.
That's as non-socialist as I've ever got.
But sometimes when you're on a date, pizza, cheese, tomato, grab it, nostalgia.
I like a little knife and fork sometimes.
With pizza?
Yeah, if not the fucking local shitty takeaway. I like a little bit of a... I like a little knife and fork sometimes, you know? With pizza?
Yeah, like, if not the fucking local shitty takeaway... I have more respect for you if you'd just gone,
look, right, I'm not proud of this,
but every now and then, once a year at maximum,
I fuck a kid in the ass.
I would have more respect for you if you said that.
Right, I don't think the judicial system
sees that the same way.
Yeah, well, the law is an...
Order! Order! Order!
Never mind about paedophilia. Order!
You're a judge, sir, of using knife and fork
in Pizza Express. I'm not saying
I get a knife and fork out for a
fucking Papa John's like a
twat. I'm saying
out at Pizza Express,
you've got a sloppy Giuseppe. Sometimes
it doesn't fucking
it doesn't always fold beautifully
is your knife and fork at a restaurant
when you're trying to get laid, that's not a bad thing is it?
you've never
been trying to get laid by a Scouse girl have you?
because if you whipped a knife and fork out for a pizza with a Scouse girl
she'd tell you she's going
the bog and then she'd ring you from the taxi
and say let's be friends
and I'd be like that was mutual that, that was mutual because i wanted to finish the pizza
on my own on your own yeah she said let's be friends and i wanted to returning she wasn't a
date we're just friends actually it was a mutual decision i mean she's left a coat but we both
decided that that was right and she's already blocked me on WhatsApp.
And yeah, but that's mutual as well,
because that's the friendship we're going to have.
The ones where we never ever speak again.
Yeah.
The problem is there are some foods,
like you are, if you always got cutlery,
like what are you going to do with crisps? Hang on. You've got to eat a bag of crisps. Does a straw count as cutlery. Like, what are you going to do with crisps?
Hang on.
You've got to eat
a bag of crisps.
Does a straw
count as cutlery?
I,
why,
what are you going to do
a straw for?
Soup?
Soup.
If I can,
if I can do curry
and soup through a straw,
then I'll,
I'll choose that one.
Fucking hell.
I bet it's been attempted.
Yeah.
I'd rather have like
a stew through a straw than be. Grandad's been attempted I'd rather have like a stew
through a straw
Grandad's been in a fucking
vegetative state
but he used to love a fucking chicken
booner on a Sunday night
at the local Bolty house
so what we do at the hospital bed
is we get them to deliver
Fucking
That's it.
If I can use a straw for me more
watery foods, I think I'd rather go no cutlery.
Also, you could
if we're taking straw
as cutlery, you could use straw for
crisps. I mean, it is the biggest fat cunt
move you've ever seen.
You'd have to grind up the crisps in the bag
and then hoover them up with a straw
like it was some fucking carbohydrate-based cocaine.
I've had a few crisps for the fork here, haven't I?
Yeah. I reckon I eat crisps more
than I eat anything else.
Yeah. Don't forget anyone
listening went, really? Go on.
But like,
yeah.
What about a bag of sweets?
You're going to look like a
fucking ballad at the cinema with your pick and mix.
I'm going to fuck on each pick and mix with a spoon.
Daddy, what's that man doing?
Fucking dying very slowly.
295 of fucking 100 grams.
Oh, dear.
I think you...
I really think...
You don't want to say it,
but it's got to be cutlery on it.
I don't know if I can have a straw.
All right.
The old straw caveat.
You love a fucking caveat in these games.
Would you rather be in prison for a year
and not fucking like Alcatraz or Death Row or anything,
but also not one of those like really touchy-feely,
you know, oh God, he did a little bit of tax evasion,
but there's no gates, but they stay.
So like Walton.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Walton.
Like I fucking know what Walton is.
Is Walton a prison?
Yeah.
Is it like a normal one?
It's, like, there's a few murderers in that in there,
but they haven't, like,
they haven't gone too far with it,
do you know what I mean?
Just, just like a light murdering.
Like, a murder that you can understand,
I think that's who goes there.
Oh.
Where they're like,
oh, we see why you murdered them.
Talk me through that, Adam.
What do you mean? Talk me through
an understandable murdering.
Oh.
Like, you've come home
and someone's
shagging your missus. Oh, right.
And you've murdered them because he's
shagging your missus.
They put you in Walton
rather than with the guys
who just murder for the laugh
you know what I mean
like because there's
different types of murder
isn't there
there's people who've done it
out of necessity
and there's people
who just do it
like for sport and that
do you know we were talking
about the independent
island of Liverpool
you know because I think
a lot of Merseyside
would like to just be
blown off the side
of the UK
and you can have
and then just like have a little
bridge going across and that would be nice
I would love it if the judicial
system sounded like that
you done a murders
you done a fucking murders
but it's one of them alright murders do you know what I mean
because he was banging your fucking Michelle
and that's bang out of order and you fucked him
to death with his own shoes and what
else you know that's not bad but this c and you fucked him to death with his own shoes, and what else? You know, that's not bad.
But this cunt, he's having a fucking good time with it,
so he's doing longer in a different place.
Like, it did sound...
I know what you meant, but it sounded really weird
how you were, like, normalising it, like...
No, but there's more understandable murders than some, isn't there?
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
There's cunty murders, isn't there?
Yeah, there's murders where you're like, oh, what have you done that for? And then there's murders where you're like, I get what you mean. There's cunty murders, isn't there? And then there's like... There's murders where you're like,
oh, what have you done that for?
And then there's murders where you're like,
I get it.
He's nicked.
He's nicked.
He's nicked all my life savings.
Yeah, well.
You're going to get hit with a shovel then, aren't you?
Do you kill someone?
Do you reckon you could kill someone?
What you're meant to say is...
What you're meant to say is, I didn't know that i had it in me to
murder someone until i became her father until i became a father and then i knew for a fact that i
could i'd stand in front of her and take a bullet but in reality like she tripped over the other day
and fell flat on her ass and i was about a meter away and i didn't even fucking move so i don't
even know if i'm going to have the instinct to
get in front of the bullet, I'd be like ah fuck
someone shot the fucking kid
I watched a murder documentary with Jade
a while back and Jade went
it's just mad isn't it that like some people
have it in them to kill someone like I can't
can you understand that and I was
like I actually think it's a miracle
there are not thousands of
murderers every day in every city
in the UK.
Like, I have murderous thoughts
almost constantly.
Yeah.
And it's not...
Constantly.
Yeah.
Like, I mean,
it does, you know, when someone cuts me up
in traffic, in my head I'm like, I hope you fucking
die. But I'm not, like, it's not constant. I don't wake up traffic, in my head, I'm like, I hope you fucking die.
But I'm not, like, it's not constant.
I don't wake up like, breakfast, murder.
No, just breakfast.
No, like, if someone cuts me up in traffic,
I will think about it for like a week or two.
Oh, I love it.
I follow them sometimes.
On the way to yours, when I filmed the Hack Radio pod,
the first podcast we did at your house last year,
I followed a guy in a fucking truck for ages that's why i was late to yours because he fucking cut me up and
he nearly killed me in a fucking massive truck and i followed him and to be honest with you if
if he wasn't going to like fucking north wales or wherever he was going if i could have followed
them and not ruined the rest of my day i might might have killed him. I love it, how you have a distance on vengeance.
That's amazing.
Listen, if you cut me up, I will follow you
and I will rip your fucking arms off
and shove them up your...
Oh, hang on, that's the bloody...
That's the M56.
I'm not going there.
That's the Welsh border.
Bloody hell.
I'm not driving into Flintshire to kill someone.
You can't kill someone in the country.
They didn't commit the crime in yeah i do i if i had i saw someone drop a whole bag of fucking mcdonald's rubbish
out of his seat white seat abitha just out of nowhere i just saw it slow down i was jogging
one night this is a few years ago i just saw this cunt arm come out of the car and drop all of the
mcdonald's in the road and just drive off now i don't shut up dickhead
and i understand people litter but that is such a bell-end level of littering i had murderous
thoughts that's how that made i drink too much coffee i know it but i was thinking about following
the car finding out where he lived putting a brick and then i was like i'd love to i just oh my god
just about litter.
And it's not real.
I know you're never going to do it, but you can understand how someone would,
say someone stole your life savings or did something like,
or fucking hit your kid with a car.
Keep it light.
If I'm getting so wound up about a fucking chicken selects meal
and a large fries packet being thrown out,
and that went round my head,
and I can still remember it vividly now.
Imagine the rage inside you when something actually proper happens.
You can sort of understand it.
For example, if I was walking my dog,
and someone, like the dog ran in the way of a load of lads playing footy.
And there's this lad who's like,
get that fucking dog out the way, and he kicked me dog.
In the skull.
Absolutely.
It would take someone to stop me killing him.
A hundred percent.
The dog would have to pull you back, like, leave it there.
Yeah.
Do you reckon you ended up killing that kid, right?
There's loads of witnesses.
You've been fingered, right?
In a legal sense. And and they and it goes to
court goes to liverpool the judge are they like listen someone fucking booted your dog in the head
lovely little dog they're showing pictures of the exhibit a picture of minnie right well you did
fucking kill the guy right do you reckon that's a sound murder yeah yeah that's an acceptable
yeah i reckon i'd get like three months for that
i think you know judge grinder or whatever he's called oh it's rinder in it
and judge judge is it judge judy did you just get mixed up with that because
he's gay yeah and you know that gay people use the grinder did they do that on purpose
did they do that on purpose you deserve a bombing within 50 meters
i think i hope this tv opportunity that you were talking about was you being some form of just judge because i'd love to see you lay down fucking scouse law scouse law uh what's may i'm not even joking there's the whole judicial system in the
just be twitter since i've been doing this podcast with you i see so much of scouse twitter
and scouse twitter does not fuck about no it does not does not. Like a fucking pack of hyenas, man.
Right.
Would you rather be in prison for a year,
normal prison,
you have to do the full 12 months,
normal visitation,
but a year of your life as you are now at 28 is gone,
or lose five years of your life at the end?
Five years at the end?
You didn't even think about that, Adam.
No.
The last five years of your life,
especially if you're as unhealthy as I am,
are going to be shit, aren't they?
Honestly, what number do you put on yourself here?
Just being realistic, you know.
I reckon I'm getting to between 70 and 80.
Do you? probably don't eat
fucking crisps
with a
straw
I reckon
so let's say it's 77
I'd take 72
rather than go to prison
now
but yeah
I have to admit
if you
what number would you
be happy
would you
if I gave you 77
now
yeah
I'd probably take 77
I've done a bit
77's enough innit
I've done drugs
80 plus
is a fucking nightmare
I think
you're just waiting
to shit yourself
and someone else
wipes your ass for you
as long as you've not
ragged the fucking engine out
I reckon 80 to 80
as long as there's
I've ragged the engine out
by the time
I'd done me GCSEs
he's had a bad childhood his life expectancy is 40 he's not even done the engine out by the time I'd done my GCSEs.
He's had a bad childhood. His life expectancy is 40 years. He's not even done his
fucking A-level. I drank to the point
my mate thought I was dead when I was 11.
This is over, Daniel, and it has been
for a long time. I think 77
is a result then, isn't it?
Yeah.
I think of all the fucking pills I did
and all the nights I stayed up.
I reckon 77 would be amazing.
I want to die in the winter
just after a World Cup.
So I get one last World Cup in.
I love watching the World Cup.
So I want to have one last World Cup in
before I die.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
And I suppose as an England fan
it would make sense
wouldn't it
like
we've got fucked
out of the quarter finals
I'm not arsed
about England
but I love watching
the World Cup
because it's fussy
if we won the World Cup
you'd definitely be arsed
you wouldn't be like
oh I'm Irish
and Scottish descent
no I wouldn't be
that bothered
yeah you would
no I wouldn't
what
if Alexander-Arnold
played right back,
Milner was like,
playing,
yeah?
I'd be happy,
but I tell you what,
England winning the
World Cup would
matter less to me
than Liverpool winning
the FA Cup.
Yeah,
everyone knows that.
We all know that
you can't compare
Liverpool.
Liverpool getting a
draw,
I thought a fucking
three points,
wherever,
would be more than
the World Cup. What if Stephen
Gerrard was the manager of England?
Oh, fuck you.
No, it wouldn't.
Stevie G. It doesn't make a difference.
Stevie G. It doesn't make a difference.
Stevie G. I'm just not
that bothered by England. I don't like international
football a lot. I like the concept of the World
Cup and that it's football in the
summer when club football
isn't happening.
But I hate
every international break
that breaks up
the Premier League season
and stuff.
I love football,
but I'm just not,
I don't feel
a massive connection
to England as the national team.
I just,
I want them to win it,
but I like,
I'm not,
like when we lost
to Croatia last year,
like the second the game
was over, game was over
I was over it
when Liverpool
lost in the final
to Real Madrid
it took me months
to get past that
alright
so you support Liverpool
you say
alright
I don't know why
you didn't mention it
yeah
what if you
what
yeah
because it's easy innit
I think that is essentially
how most young people live.
Like, I know this isn't good, but fuck it.
I want to have a great night out tonight.
I'll bash this up my nose and I'll take a few years off.
Yeah.
Would you rather have all traffic lights you ever drive through be green?
Oh, that one.
Don't need to hear the second one.
That.
For the rest of your life.
Or have unlimited personal spending at Tesco
or any supermarket that you choose.
You can just choose one supermarket.
You never, ever have.
You can't buy loads of TVs and sell them on eBay.
All the shit you ever need, grocery-wise, Tesco-wise,
is free for life
or you just get to sell through green lights.
Traffic lights.
Defo.
I earn, normally,
when we're allowed to gig and stuff,
a nice, decent, comfortable living
that has steadily gone up over the past few years
and I don't need to worry about
buying groceries and stuff.
I'm okay.
I can buy enough food to live on.
So I don't mind that at all.
I love my job.
Got a fairly good life when we're allowed out.
I don't mind that. One of the love my job. Got a fairly good life when we're allowed out. I don't mind that.
One of the veins of my life
is driving towards a light that's
on green and one car in front
of you gets through and then I get stuck at
red. Getting stuck at traffic lights
is the bane of my life.
I fucking hate it. So it
drives me mad.
Especially, do you know when you're doing a double
and then you've got two gigs and like, let's say you're on first
at the Frog and Booker Comedy Club in Manchester
and you're on last at Hot Water Comedy Club in Liverpool.
You've got essentially 40 minutes to do a 38-minute journey
and stopping at two traffic lights can fuck it up completely
and then the club get pissed off that you were late for the gig.
Whenever I have to do that double,
every light changes to red for me.
It's like it fucking knows
where I'm going
and how time constrained I am.
And my time anxiety
goes through the fucking roof, mate.
Every comedian in the country.
Green lights all day over groceries.
I'll happily pay me way for me stuff,
but just let me get where i've gotta fucking go
the worst traffic lights as we all know are the temporary traffic lights that some cunt hasn't
timed properly and you can see where the other there's like roadworks it goes into one lane and
you can see the other traffic light and you know it's like oh yeah we'll do a minute on and then a
minute off and you're like there's no one else here there's no one else here there's no one else in you let
you i've just want to fucking do it and you know that if you do it you'll be the bell and there's
like an articulated lorry speeding slider that just comes over the brow and you're like fuck
i uh they're the worst more than that you know when you get to like a a dual carriageway junction
yeah and there's traffic lights and it's like two in the morning
and it's on a cycle of traffic lights
and like the green man's across the road
and it puts it on the green man
so there's no traffic going anywhere
but there's not a fucking cunt in sight
and there hasn't been for three hours
because it's two o'clock in the morning
on a fucking Wednesday.
Do you know that?
I swear to God,
I get homicidal.
When that was happening happening if a guy walked
past and was like hey by the way thanks for using me traffic lights i invented them i'd run them
over and i would feel no remorse whatsoever but that's the that one who's like oh just fuck it
there's no there's no cameras it'll be fine as soon as you go through come it's two in the morning
there's no traffic out of nowhere the fucking blue lights start flashing like,
were you waiting in the bus, you cunt?
Oh, jeez.
The last one's
really weird. Would you rather spend a year
living as a shark, a whole year
living as a shark, or
six months as a pigeon?
I mean, this is easy, isn't it? It's a year as a pigeon I mean this is easy
it's a year as a shark
it's a bit dark
underwater isn't it
no but they've got
like they can see
can't they
can they
like they've got like
lights in their eyes
and that like
well not lights
but you know what I mean
okay now
hey this guy was good
at maths at school
but I'm not sure
he concentrated in biology
Yeah well known fact
Sharks have got fucking LEDs in their eyes
That's why they're such good killing machines
Like fucking
But sharks know where they're going is what I mean
Even though I was a shark
When it was night time
And the sun went down I'd be like
Bloody hell it's a bit scary just seeing it
No but the only thing to be scared of
is yourself and sharks don't need to be sharks that's so true you'd have to be a fanny of a
shark to be like oh it's scary in the world there might be sharks of course there's sharks you are
a shark sorry yeah my bad apparently dolphins can smash a shark's heads in can't they dolphins
batter sharks like on the reg i don't't think on the reg. Great whites and
dolphins. It's not like if you one on one
there's going to be trouble. I think
the dolphins are like cool gang members
like let Thor do it. Yeah, yeah.
But like dolphins only do that if
you piss them off. Like a shark
will fucking go for something because it's a shark
whereas a dolphin's quite sound.
But if you piss the dolphin off
then it gets boys
around dolphins aren't that sound they actually they're one of the mammals that are known to
basically hold females hostages and gang rape them yeah but like i mean the sound to other species
all right cool i can't believe you just literally brushed over that like oh yeah yeah yeah dolphins are a bit rapey but they are sound
though aren't they apart from the all
rape they yeah
dolphins aren't as sound as everyone thinks
everyone's like oh my god dolphins are amazing
they're just so incredible and they're friendly to humans
well they're not that nice to women
they're horrific
I have a little dolphin toy that I used to take in the bath with me when I was a kid
what did he do to you
Adam did some really
advanced role play
he answered
nothing
what do you mean
no
fucking twisted kid
stop playing dolphin gang
rape in the bath Adam
alright
yeah I'd love to live
as a shark for a bit.
Imagine that, getting to see all the...
There's bits of the ocean humans have never been to.
You know, I'd go there.
Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Would you eat a human?
What?
Would you eat a human?
Well, sharks don't like to taste a human, do they?
No, but you are still you as a shark.
They say that, don't they? They say sharks don't like to taste a human, do they? I know, but you are still you as a shark. They say that, don't they?
They say sharks don't like the taste of human,
but I reckon it's probably
like coriander. Some sharks
like it and some don't.
Do you know what I mean?
Actually, I think...
Humans are an acquired taste for sharks,
but they reckon most sharks bite
into a human and then spit it straight
out. That's why humans get killed by sharks,
but it's very rare that their bodies aren't recovered.
I think as a shark,
it would really suit your personality
to just go and hang out in Australia,
nice warm waters,
and you could just wait as you're swimming around
for a fucking surfer to cut you off
and then all of that rage would come up,
all of that murderous rage from motorway driving
and then you'd actually
be able to bite
the fucking head off
yeah
I'd love being a shark
for a year
and then I'd
I'd still have those memories
wouldn't I
when I come back
to being a human
yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'd just be walking around
going
here you are
like
go to science
and go
hey you know that thing
you've been worried about
like down there
it's sound mate
it's being there
being there not Been there.
Not on there, lad.
You're Sal.
What a way to get sectioned.
I have just lived as a shark for you.
The first few days back would be a bit weird,
where Jade was like, are you all right?
And you were like...
It goes weird in the bath.
Oh, that was a strange one.
Yeah, but you'd get to fly,
but then it's the shittest bird, innit?
Yeah.
You'd be like, I'm flying, but I'm a knobhead.
Like, I don't know why that was...
It's not a seagull.
That was such an easy would you rather,
because it was, being a shark's good,
and you got to do that for a year.
Being a pigeon's shit,
and you only got six months of that.
I hate this sea.
That's why I think I, you know, I didn't...
You wouldn't if you were a shark, would you?
Oh, no.
It's still horrible and cold, isn't it?
No.
Flying would be good, but you'd still be a fucking shitty pigeon.
Everyone would be like, oh, this dickhead.
Yeah, but being able to deep sea dive and breathe under the water.
Oh.
You could go anywhere as well.
You could go wherever you want.
You'd literally get to see things that no other human will ever see.
If you're a pigeon, what are you going to go and see?
The fucking...
The liver buildings.
You could go and shit on Old Trafford.
Ah, you didn't think of that?
What?
I did that anyway.
Just shitting me on them for a wee.
Oh, Adam.
I did the dolphin rape bit, but that's too far.
It's what it's... I can already shit at Old Trafford
but I can't go
deep sea diving
in the coral reef

It's Have a Word with Adam Rowe and Dan Nightingale.
Okay, that was Vauxhall Comedy Club, ladies and gentlemen.
We are back and it's time for Have a Word with Adam and Dan.
Send us the problems you have with your friends.
Got one here from Owen Jones.
You ready for this, Daniel?
He sounds Welsh, doesn't he?
But I don't win.
Well, he's not.
He's from Ireland.
Oh, yeah, you know, it's a lovely part of Wales.
So, how's it going, lads?
I'm Owen Jones, and i'm 18 from ireland i would like you guys to have
a word with a couple of thousand 17 slash 18 year old cunts
strong start i am in my leaving cert year which i believe is similar to the gcses which is the
exam that gets us into college.
So he's basically in his equivalent to year 11, right?
Yeah.
The exams are supposed to be held in June,
but the government has moved it to August slash September due to the lockdown.
A lot of people my age were outraged by this decision
because they are selfish twats.
A lot of them have been sending emails to the government,
writing essays all over Facebook,
making videos of them crying, in brackets, the girls, and getting petitions signed to try and get their
predicted grades. Like many others I know, predicted grades would not get me into college,
but being able to put four hard months of work in before the exam would. The only people
who want to do this are people who aren't going to college anyway, or the predicted grades would get them in. So they're too fucking lazy to study for the exams,
and they don't want the new scheduled date to clash with them going on holiday with their mates.
They just want a freeway into college. They're exploiting the virus and saying things like
they're scared for their lives, and that the stress of having to study during the pandemic
will cause them mental health problems. If these fuckers get what they want, then me
and thousands of other people will have to
resit the whole year. It'll cost us
around 8,000 euros to do that
because it'll have to be done privately.
I'm living in a disadvantaged area
going to a disadvantaged school. This
would fuck me and my mates and probably
thousands of others who want to go to college
over just because some little emotional
twat are being selfish. Have a word.
Cheers, lads, from Owen Jones
in Ireland.
Whoa. I tell you
what, for an 18-year-old, you can see a
future in... He's got an aggression that I
think I really warm to,
but when I was 18, I couldn't have
articulated all of that shit enough.
You know, like, I would have got bored of the email
about a third of the way through. But his email was largely incoherent, so I've restructured a lot of that shit enough you know like i would have got bored of the email about listeners but his email was largely incoherent so i've restructured a lot of that
all right good i was like god he's really got a uh a clarity of thought there that's um
like owen will have listened to that first thing god i didn't quite say it like that and i've got
yeah because i've just took all the salient
points out and put it in a more
that's fine though, that's absolutely fine
the guy's angry, the young man's angry
what do you think?
I agree with him
anyone who's like no because I can't
because no because
I've got to go away and I'm also
going to festivals, well you're not and
you're potentially not going on holiday i think everyone has got a sort of it's really difficult
because i don't know that individual circumstance but it's like anything if you do something that's
been delayed or stopped in theory there is going to have to be a change to the schedule when we
all come out of it we can't come out of this and be like well that's missed you've missed all of that and now we've
started the next year or and now we're doing this or you've missed out sorry like there will have to
be some rescheduling of stuff i do understand that are you telling me that if you were 17 years of
age right now and you were about to do your exams to get into sixth form or to get into university
or whatever, right?
And you were predicted to get
A's across the board.
For the last six months you've been fucking around,
you haven't been listening,
you wouldn't be trying to take sneaky advantage
of this because I fucking would, mate.
If I knew I was predicted A's and I could get
out of doing the exam and just get A's
across the board, I would be making every fucking petition I could, every video of me crying,
going, I've got mental health problems.
I would be that whining fuck.
So do you know what?
I've got a little compromise that I think works for this one.
I think they should get the choice.
You can either have your predicted grades or you can do the exam in september or whenever
it comes around and i think that rewards both people if you've been a dick for five years and
being fucking sick as fucking class and they've gone right you're gonna get d's across the board
the predicted grades they don't just pluck them out their ass they're based on previous performance
so if you're predicted badly you can still go no i feel like i'm better than that now i want to do the i've been holding it up for the last bit i've been holding back for the last bit
yeah yeah you can still do your exam but if you're predicted a's you can go do you know what i was
expecting to do that in june i'm not fucking doing it in september go fuck yourselves give me me a
i think that's fair yeah maybe i mean it in theory, it's quite a fair option.
But I think universities and colleges will be like,
yeah, but doesn't that mean everyone just gets fucking in?
So the people in suits get in because they're like,
well, I was predicted.
And the people who haven't got any good predictions are like,
right, shit, I've got to work.
I mean, doesn't it?
Predicted grades are often quite accurate.
So it'll probably just end up about right anyway.
Mate, I got a great predicted grade for theatre studies
and I fucking hoofed it into the ground so hard.
I was predicted an A, completely fucked up my final exam,
got a D, went to get my results,
I got two Bs and a D,
and my theatre studies teacher did not pull any punches
and he went, well, Daniel Nightingale,
you are the disappointment of the year
fucking hell and i knew it and the worst thing was i knew it i'd fucking done nothing
for the exam oh what a bell end and if you you want to rise into us and nominate any of your friends as Disappointments of the
Year, then email that in to haveawaited
at gmail.com. What a line!
The Disappointment
of the Year. Enjoy your night out.
Very similar, and this is going to make
me sound like such a fucking nerdy
dick, but I was predicted
an A star in maths
at GCSE, and I got an A.
I was about three points short of getting an A star
and I got called in for a meeting
because the school were pissed off
wow
they were like look we were actually relying on you to bring
our scores up and you should have been
getting an A star Adam you're a very naturally gifted
mathematician and you've clearly let yourself down
here haven't you and I was like lad I got an A shut the
fuck up once I make it to sixth form
these don't matter anymore anyway I don't I'll be honest i'm not sure a whole load of our listeners
totally related to that story oh yeah i totally agree with you so i remember when my uh when my
school brought me in and was like oh dazzle we really wanted an a star but it turns out did you just call our entire
listenership thick
mate I'm in with them
no
no one ever went A star to just an A
I fucked in I hoofed an A to a D
and quite rightly got called
a bellend
are you happy with my decision there
I think you've been really good
I think you'd be great as a judge in the Merseyside
the independent island of Liverpool
in their judicial system
and I also think you were quite fair handed there as well
but I think reality is
everyone who's sat on their arse pretending that
coronavirus is the reason they can't fucking revise
is talking shit
so pull your fucking finger out
and get ready for some slightly later exams.
But we wanted to thumb her in France.
Well, it's not going to be safe anyway.
Get your fucking pens out.
Pens.
Pens.
I'm so old.
Get your pens out.
Might as well have been chalkboard.
Get your pencil, your sharpener,
your half red, half white rubber
and get ready
to do some revision. Now,
we're going to do the works of
William Shakespeare. Long division!
We'll need the bar, haven't we?
The bar, the bard.
Alright, I think that's a pod,
because we've stopped talking normally.
Adam, my
love, that is us back
on form.
Tell you what, he's back, baby.
He's done a bit of tidying.
I've walked around the woods.
We're back, baby.
Got a song for you, lad.
Today's band is called Parma Luca. So it's P-A-L-M-A and then L-O-U-C-A.
They're fucking brilliant.
