Starting point is 00:01:17 Nasty bitch Catch me outside How about that I'm big bonded I'm heavy structured I'm hung low If I pull my shit out this whole room, get dark. Disgusting!
Starting point is 00:01:27 It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel like podcasting. With video on YouTube, on social media, at Have A Word Pod, you're listening to the funniest podcast in the game. Have a word. Shut down dailies. Let's get through this mess together. Oh sweet day Welcome back Welcome back From a day of rest I really did rest yesterday
Starting point is 00:02:15 Fuck me I had like an afternoon nap Then I had another You know when you've finished a nap You're like Oh fuck it I'm gonna go have a little bit more amazing laura was like you've done a lot you're doing so much with the pod you're doing so much
Starting point is 00:02:31 you have a bit of rest by the time i finished my second nap she was like no do more now that's enough what a belting night's sleep so yeah fucking proper day of rest. What did you do with your Sunday? I was very, very, very productive. Jesus. Woke up, got a little wash immediately. It's always good to start the day with a wash of the balls. If you want to get shit done, wash your balls early. Yeah, up, wash, brush my teeth, went for a cup of tea,
Starting point is 00:03:06 had me little toast for me breakfast, and then I got stuck in to sorting this fucking house out. And you know what? I'm getting there, mate. This house is going to be spotless tomorrow. Well, maybe the next day, but we're getting there. Within a week. Before the end of the show. Two hour walk
Starting point is 00:03:21 with the dog. Took her on a big, massive, hikey walk. Nice. That was good. It just, I feel like I've got my mojo back. I feel like I'm ready to get shit done again. I was in it. I'll be honest with you, the last week or so,
Starting point is 00:03:36 I've just been in a bit of a slump, you know, when you're just a bit fucking, like, and it just felt like that not an did I have a consequence to it, Freddie Quinn said something like this to me last week. It didn't matter what he did because the next day is going to be exactly the same regardless. And I got into that and then I was like, look at the state of this house.
Starting point is 00:03:57 I can sort this out and then I can start planning for post-lockdown because I'm starting to be a bit more optimistic. I'm back. I'm back, Dan. I'm here. And I'm eating better. I've been having me meals, but no snacking. I've stopped on the
Starting point is 00:04:10 fizzy drinks. Cut myself back to only two cups of tea a day. I have two sugars in me tea, and I was having like five cups of tea, ten sugars in a day. Bit fucking much, innit? Gone blind in one eye. Bit jittery. Can't sleep till five in the morning.
Starting point is 00:04:25 I don't know what's going on. Yeah. I think everyone's allowed to have a little funk, aren't they, during this time? Because it's tricky because you can't do the shit that you normally do
Starting point is 00:04:36 to get yourself out of a funk. That's why I think you've got to give yourself a bit of a break because usually if you've been working too hard, like if you've been hammering it for four weeks, some go do you know what just need a night off and a few beers see the mates like you can't do that so yeah if you've if you've been feeling like lethargic getting sometimes people go do you know what i'm gonna go to the gym do a big session at the gym
Starting point is 00:04:58 you can't do that fuck i feel a bit like i've just stuck in these four walls i'm gonna go shopping you can't do that so whatever you need to get yourself out of a funk, I think you're allowed to do it. People will be listening going, Christ almighty, two months ago, if you'd have heard Adam Rowe go, I've tied it up and I had a cup of tea and I went walking. You'd be like, has Adam had a car crash? What's happened? Has he had a brain injury? But that's genuinely hearing that is like yep it's good because i i'm a big believer in this now control what you can control and try not to worry about the things that are out of your control everyone that we've talked to who's like oh i'm having a hard time they're trying to predict things that they have no control over but what you can do is tidy up where you work and live
Starting point is 00:05:43 like we work from home a lot. I've had to reorder this space a few times, and it makes you feel like you go, fuck, I've got my little world in a little bit of order. Yeah. It's good for you. I bought a big whiteboard as well. And every morning since yesterday,
Starting point is 00:06:00 I put a... Every single morning since yesterday. I put a to-do list on it. It was Jade's idea. Put a to-do list on it it's Jade's idea put a to-do list on it but the first few things you put on you've already done so they just get ticked straight away breathe in
Starting point is 00:06:13 breathe out two ticks don't shit yourself half a tick I love it the thing that I normally do to get myself out of a funk is do a gig
Starting point is 00:06:26 you know if it's like a Monday or a Tuesday or whatever some shit day of the week and I'm in a bad mood I'll normally ring hot water and go
Starting point is 00:06:35 hey can you squeeze me on for 10 minutes tonight and I won't even go down with planned material I'll just go and rant about me day and it's never your best gig but it's just cathartic
Starting point is 00:06:45 do you know what I mean? and some of those little gems come from it as well well it often I get lost for stuff that I can never do again because it requires the actual energy do you know what I mean? like there was one time me and Jade did that fucking murder
Starting point is 00:06:57 and I just couldn't be arsed so I just texted him I was like can you squeeze me on and he said yeah and I went down Paul Smith was like what the fuck's the matter with you? I was like I'm just she's on me fucking head in like i'm just
Starting point is 00:07:07 i'm just gonna talk about it on stage and i went on stage and i fucking murdered for 15 minutes volleyed the gig all over the place come off and paul smith was like that is a new 15 minutes of material that was great i tried it the next night and I fucking stunk the place out. I think I've tried it again. That awful thing. And if anyone's listening going, when you talk about comedy, I can't, how does it work? Because I'm not a stand-up. You know when something in your life happens and you go,
Starting point is 00:07:38 I'll tell you that'll make laugh, that'll make fucking, that'll make my mate Tom laugh. Tom will fucking love that story. And then you tell it tom and he thinks it's hilarious and that shit i might tell that to i might like to tell that to matt as well that is basically how stand-up works except instead of like tom and matt we're like hot water the edinburgh festival that's how it works for us but then there's these little moments something happens with a bit of interaction or you think of a genuinely think of a story like adam's talking about where you've just riffing on your day or you think of something
Starting point is 00:08:10 in the moment that's not necessarily banter but just pops in your head and for whatever reason the stars align the crowd are on board and it absolutely nails and you're like oh my god i'm a fucking genius and then you come off stage good you i've even done it so you're like oh my god I'm a fucking genius and then you come off stage going I've even done it so you're talking to the comments
Starting point is 00:08:28 going how did I start that bit fuck how did I start that bit oh shit yeah yeah yeah what did I say and they're like oh yeah that was great and you write it down
Starting point is 00:08:35 and you think oh god it's so easy it's gonna be months of stuff I'm gonna fucking develop that and then it turns out that it's just the next night
Starting point is 00:08:44 it's gone from gold to dog shit overnight something happens i think it's partly authenticity when when it's happened that day or when even if it's not that day even if it was a week ago the first time you say it is when you're really at the peak of your emotions every time after that you're acting and when you're acting unless you're a really really really good actor which most comedians are because we have to do the same stuff night after night for months
Starting point is 00:09:08 that first time with some stuff the authenticity of it he's genuinely pissed off here it's just genuinely ruined his fucking day that I think an audience
Starting point is 00:09:19 can smell sometimes I think there's certain bits that without that authenticity it just doesn't work and that's why it works once and never again and certain bits need 10 15 runouts before they hit the stride i mean some bits you can be doing for six months and then you just unlock a little part
Starting point is 00:09:33 of it and you're like oh my god that bit is really ripping now it's almost like they it needed those runouts yes other bits that just it cannot work like that so frustrating it's and it's part of the thing that is so fun about stand-up i'm getting all like horny for the gig now i want to just any literally any gig like a gig that usually if a promoter rang you up and was like oh can you come and do my nun's front room near warrington and it's 35 pounds you'd be like no bobby murdoch i'm all right but but now do portsmouth jonglers for fuck all right now and i mean that i fucking i drive you drive you and get you to 10 i i would do my i would do a local funeral
Starting point is 00:10:25 I'd be like what's your capacity in here? Oh you've only got 9 in brilliant I'll make it 10 now I didn't know the deceased but who's been drinking? You died of cirrhosis of the liver well at least one of us has hey come on
Starting point is 00:10:40 follow me on social media at I'd do fucking any gig would ya? I mentioned the bottom of Jonglers there so for those who don't know
Starting point is 00:10:53 Jonglers is a now deceased comedy chain which at one point was the height of British club comedy and ended up as an absolutely abysmal brand of comedy
Starting point is 00:11:02 because it was just stag and hendoos the priority was sell and drink over the comedy because it was just stag and hen do's. The priority was sell and drink over the comedy. So you were just performing to a load of drunk idiots who didn't care about the gig. They'd got their ticket on Groupon as part of a big stag do weekend package. It was just, oh, we've got to go to the comedy.
Starting point is 00:11:18 A disposable audience, weren't they, basically? That was the mode. It was like you'd just put a mic in the corner of a Wetherspoons and tried to get everyone's attention. Like, hey, guys, no, listen, listen, no. No, this next guy's a good friend of mine. Give it up for Dan Nightingale.
Starting point is 00:11:35 It was just horrendous. But I think I would go and do Portsmouth Junglers right now, which was the worst one. I never did it. You know, it got held up as the worst one by a stretch i did it once i managed to dodge it i did it once it was abysmal i'd do sway did you do sway sway was like is that a london nightclub where yeah where they were like two floors and it was it was amazing because London, for those who don't know, is historically a lower paying comedy city.
Starting point is 00:12:08 That seems sort of counterintuitive. You'd think London paid more because obviously everything's more expensive there. But it's a supply and demand thing. There's so many comedians in London that the comedy clubs don't have to pay as much. But Sway, you did two gigs. You did the basement room and then you'd go upstairs and do there. And you got 250 quid. And this was 15 years ago.
Starting point is 00:12:26 You got 250 quid for each set. So you got 500 quid to do one night at Sway. And the basement was just about playable. And upstairs was fucking insane. It was like doing...
Starting point is 00:12:37 It was like doing comedy at a Tiesto gig. So everyone's off to bed on LSD. Pillow powder heads. And Tiesto's gone. I'm gone for the shit. I'll be back in 20 minutes. And then you've walked onto that room and everyone's just like,
Starting point is 00:12:51 get another beer, get another beer. I want a shot. Jager bombs, Jager bombs, Jager bombs now. Let's get fucked up. Let's get fucked up. Tiesto will be back in a minute. No, let's get the drinks. That's all that matters.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Let's just get drink, drink, drink. And you're just there going, so I'm single. Anyone else single in the room it's all i think the big giveaway is that when you're gigging and you know it's not going to be fun for the whole night or just your bit is in the few minutes before the section starts or the show starts if there's a person dancing to the music in the break or the build-up, like stood up dancing, you and your colleagues for the night are fucked.
Starting point is 00:13:32 That's how you know you're not at a gig. You are comedy interrupting Julie's birthday. That's essential. And when the bouncer comes over, like, excuse me, there's no dancing. Well, she is not dancing. It's my birthday. I'll fucking dance if I want. You're like, oh Jesus. Hope Johnny Orson's on. Another
Starting point is 00:13:49 bad sign, right, is when, because like, in most green rooms there's like a screen, isn't there, that you can see the stage from? And when pre-show you're sat in the green room and you look at the screen and some knobhead has got on the stage and grabbed the mic before the show, he's on like a stag do
Starting point is 00:14:06 and he's trying to tell jokes into the mic before it kicks off. That is the sign of a stinkin' of a gig to come, innit? Yeah, you just know even if the rest of them are dead sound there's at least one table of utter fuckwits. And one
Starting point is 00:14:21 table, one fuckwit is enough. Yeah. That's like really well the show where gary got on stage and pretended to be a comedian for 12 seconds for the dormant choke slammed him wasn't that really funny oh we're so great no one else did that that's because they're not as funny as us when someone walks on the stage and you're on it that's a whole nother level that's like oh now we're in the this could be dangerous sort of like i hope that if i get hurt in some way they're recording it so i get to do a jim jeffries and profit from this like when you see someone come towards you on the stage you in you go through this weird thing as a comedian and i've been a big believer in this for ages and i've said it on the podcast if you're a storyteller or you sort of recount your life as part of your
Starting point is 00:15:08 stand-up in moments of danger you get the initial human response of oh fuck this is going to be really dangerous but then you instantly after years of looking for this sort of stuff you also get that second wave of like yeah but this could be a really funny fucking story so you flinch and then you sort of go fuck no lean into it there's you know you're at a bad gig when someone stands up and you you feel the first two steps towards the stage and you're like okay let's roll the dice on how this one's gonna go is dan a gonna get hugged by a drunk girl B, punched by a wanker it's so brutal that's why I like the frog and bucket stage so much you know
Starting point is 00:15:49 because the frog and bucket stage is very very high and a couple of months ago I think I was definitely doing a set, I assume I was on last and I'd been doing a bit of crowd wear because it got to that point at the frog where everyone was quite drunk and when you're closing the show you've got to deal with that and I'd been doing a bit of crowd wear because it had got to that point at the Frog where everyone was quite drunk and when you're closing
Starting point is 00:16:06 the show you've got to deal with that and I'd absolutely buried this guy, he was like the smallest guy in a group of like 20 lads so he had typical small man syndrome like well I'm normally the funny one but there's someone else in the room being funny so I need to try and compete
Starting point is 00:16:22 with him and then he loses because you've got a microphone and we're professional comedians. And he walked towards the stage. He was actually going to the toilet, but I thought he was coming for me. And I just picked the mic stand up. I was like, because he's got like four steps to get up here. I'll just knock it. I'll just
Starting point is 00:16:37 hell in a cell, yeah? I'm just going to fucking put the base of the mic stand in your fucking face. You've got no chance of getting up here. The frog and bucket, basically. The frog and the stage is the safest one in your fucking face you've got no chance of getting up here the frog and bucket basically the safest one yeah because i don't they did it by accident but they've they've accidentally basically recreated the comedy club version of a motten bailey from medieval like castles and defenses it's if it's basically so high that if the venue flooded you'd have about four hours before the stage was a problem you'd just be stood there going i'll get fucking someone will give me a lift out of it it's amazing
Starting point is 00:17:10 they'd have they'd have to take four full steps up some some of the people giving you shit the frog wouldn't be able to make those four steps however that's when it works in your favor the frog and bucket having a high stage which weirdly sometimes I like because it raises you up. It's a bit of an amphitheatre, the frog, isn't it? They're up, they're around you, and you're very much in the middle of the room, it feels like, especially if they're coming at you. So if someone's coming at you at the frog,
Starting point is 00:17:37 say they're coming at the bat, they'd have to come down and then round some stairs. There's a lot of zigzagging to then have to climb some stairs. Hopefully a bouncer's watching. Where that high stage does not work very well is at Beat the Frog on the amateur night where they have amateur comedians who are A, nervous, or B, disabled. So, oh, those four quite steep steps,
Starting point is 00:18:06 very little narrow staircase I mean just by the way can I just pause for a sec by what you've just said you don't count any disabled comedians as professional who are the disabled pros well I don't know whether they count themselves. Tanya Lee is disabled, isn't she? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:28 She gets thrown on. Francesca Martinez, Rosie Jones. Yeah. Tim Renkow. They're doing too well to do the frog. Their disability has helped them not do the frog. Fuck, I love Rosie Jones. Tim Renkow, yeah, it's not good.
Starting point is 00:18:48 But obviously, how often on a bill of four acts for the weekend do you see a disabled? I don't know. Oh, who's blind? Chris McCausland's blind. New game show. Who is blind? I'm your host, Dan Nightingale.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Welcome to ITV1 here on Saturday night with Who is Blind? Round one. Are they blind or are they about to sneeze? Adam. Do they need a guide dog or antihistamines? Do they need a guide dog or antihistamines? We've got eight contestants who all claim to be blind, but we think some are just partially sighted.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Let's separate the men from the boys with the first section called Boo! When there is a disabled act on that stage and they just wobble a little bit you're like oh oh god oh god there's a guy who's got really bad parkinson's what's he something jay and he is on like he's on yeah he's on a he's on a zimmer frame sort of thing and i've seen him nearly and then he does this bit when he falls back and you're like if you misjudge that you're gonna break your neck and then also kill someone in the front row like it's really steep in it that chris the chris mccausland i have a i heard a brilliant story i've heard two great
Starting point is 00:20:14 stories about michael mcintyre because people like to slag off michael mcintyre and peter k and most of the famous acts because there's an element of bitterness isn't there from a lot of like well they you know they're all right they're multi-millionaires now but i'll tell you why i don't rate them and a lot of that is because they've sort of jumped the queue in front of comedians who are decent but think they should be there as well but with mcintyre it's weird because you don't hear a lot of that stuff because he was quite aloof i think another thing about McIntyre for me is like if anyone slags off his ability as a comic anyone
Starting point is 00:20:49 then I've got no respect for your opinion on comedy Michael McIntyre is not necessarily someone I would pay to go and watch but he's the one act on the planet that I'd least rather follow I'd rather follow Patrice O'Neill Bill Bear and Richard Pryor than Michael McIntyre I really would rather follow i'd rather follow patrice o'neill bill bear and richard prior than michael mcintyre
Starting point is 00:21:07 i really was he smashes yeah it the gig's done in it if he's on the gig's done performance rate just the hit rate maybe not now it's a bit different now but 10 years ago when he was really at the height of his game when he was doing the road show and he was the biggest name in British stand-up. The guy's a monster and it's very easy to sort of detract from the big names. Like, oh, well, I don't rate them because of that. But I honestly, with Michael McIntyre, it's funny because comics sort of want to whinge about him,
Starting point is 00:21:36 but I don't think he's a bad guy. I've heard a few stories about him that just make his legend more impressive with me. He was at the O2 in London, about to get paid £30,000 to do a corporate. Obviously, this is probably 10 years ago, he's now a big name. £30,000 he was getting.
Starting point is 00:21:54 I think he would have been doing a few of these. This was when he was really one of the big names. Just backstage, got everything you want, Michael? He's like, yeah, yeah, got everything I want. He was like, just out of interest, who's it for? I do so many of these. I've not even checked. My agent's not told me.
Starting point is 00:22:10 What's the company? And they were like, oh, it's a few different companies. They're essentially debt collectors. And he went, oh, all right, cool. I'm not going to do it then. And apparently the woman was like, but it starts in 10 minutes he was like yeah
Starting point is 00:22:25 about 8 years ago, 9 years ago I nearly lost my house and these were the cunts that were hounding me out of it so I'll be fucked if I'm going to entertain them now and they went do you realise it's £30,000 I don't give a shit
Starting point is 00:22:41 I'll put a work in progress days on and I'll make it back immediately. And then the two other stories I've heard, which I fucking love, of him just taking the piss for his own entertainment. One includes Chris McCausland on a bill with Chris McCausland. They're all sat in the dressing room and Chris is blind and he often has his brother or his dad
Starting point is 00:23:04 or someone to help him on stage that night there wasn't it wasn't one of his relatives it was a member of staff and they were like you need to get Chris by the arm and walk him along the side and walk him onto the stage and then just put him in front of the mic and you know so he knows where he is and then just leave him from there and the kid was like yeah yeah okay brilliant so they did that and then in the next section michael mcintyre went to the lad the lad was like hey do you need anything guys he was like yeah i'd like to be walked uh onto the stage as well please and the kid was like like young nervous lad that works they're like and he was like no i want to be walked onto the stage didn't laugh and the kid was so young he went really he was like yes he went okay
Starting point is 00:23:48 so michael mcintyre got led by the arm by the same kid down the side of the audience walked onto the stage like he was blind made the kid put him exactly like he'd done with christmas calls that give him the mic and then he just started the gig so the whole crowd were like fuck two blind comedians and then he never referenced it and he just did his gig just to entertain just to entertain himself
Starting point is 00:24:17 there's also another story where they're in a dressing room and Tony Hendrix and Pierre Hollins now I know this is getting a bit who the fuck is that guy these are two acts from the circuit who were professionals when i started out one is a white guy who's jamaican one's pierre hollins who's lovely sound does a bit of music but tony hendrix is the white jamaican that's how he sells himself but off stage he talks like this he's obviously quite wealthy from trinidad and tobago or jamaica i can't remember but talks like this very well raised but he's actually brought up on the island of trinidad and Tobago or Jamaica I can't remember but talks like this very well raised
Starting point is 00:24:45 but he's actually brought up on the island of Trinidad or whatever and so Pierre he walks on he's like hello my name is Tony Hendricks I'm the white Jamaica whatever I can't remember if he's the white Jamaica I think he's Jamaican so Pierre Hollins Tony Hendricks rips it like oh thank you very much man you're being incredible comes off stage and Pierre Hollins has obviously been bugged by this and goes can I ask you a question I'm not trying to piss you off but is it not sort of bullshit you don't actually talk
Starting point is 00:25:16 like that you walk on stage you say oh I'm from you know the west of the Caribbean and then you just do the voice and then Tony Hendrix is like that's my heritage that's where I grew up I have every right to talk like that and Pierre Hollins is like, yeah but you don't actually talk like that, do you? So it's a bit offensive because essentially
Starting point is 00:25:32 you're doing a black Jamaican voice and it got really fucking edgy the other comics in the room are there Michael McIntyre's about to go on and everyone's like, leave it, leave it, McIntyre says fucking nothing and it goes awkward for a full like 5 or 10 minutes because you can tell Pierre Hollins is fuming to go on and everyone's like leave it leave it mcintyre says fucking nothing and it goes awkward for a full like five or ten minutes because you can tell pierre hans is fuming tony hendrix is
Starting point is 00:25:50 fuming no one says anything then just so it doesn't like cause a proper fight the compare goes back on brings on michael mcintyre and he goes hello my name is michael mcintyre And he does the whole set in a Jamaican accent. Just to fuck with them. I've got one Michael McIntyre story that I heard, which is sort of a, it ties into something you mentioned before. So Jim Jeffries, who is now a massive star in America
Starting point is 00:26:20 and over here, he worked in the UK for a long time on the circuit. And he got his first break, really, because a clip, one of the first stand-up clips that ever went viral was him on stage at the Comedy Store in Manchester. Jim, as you'll know if you know of his work,
Starting point is 00:26:36 is quite a provocative stand-up, certainly has been known to offend people. He pissed someone off to the point where they ran the stage and punched them a few times. And that clip went viral, and that was the start of Jim Jefferies becoming what he is today. Michael McIntyre was on that bill, right? And he was the act on just before Jim Jefferies.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Now, in the Comedy Store Manchester dressing room, there's a screen in the corner where you can see the stage, you can see everything that's happening, right? Michael McIntyre seen Jim Jefferies get punched and then run off stage. He then turned the TV off and got his paper out
Starting point is 00:27:13 and just sat reading it on the couch. And Jim Jefferies comes into the dressing room and goes, McIntyre goes, oh, Jim, how was your set? And Jim goes, fucking hell, mate, I've just been punched in the fucking face. And McIntyre went, oh, Jim, how was your set? And Jim goes, fucking hell, mate, I've just been punched in the fucking face. And McIntyre went, oh, no one can follow me. Fucking hell.
Starting point is 00:27:36 You might not think he's the best comic ever, but they're the sort of stories with comics that make you a fucking legend, when all the stuff you hear about Peter Kay is that he's genuinely a bit of a betland. And then with Michael McIntyre, you hear these weird, subtle stories. And you're like, yeah, might be a bit of a ledge there. I got told McIntyre was a not. I've only met him once.
Starting point is 00:27:57 It was last year. I was very fortunate to be asked to perform at the Comedy Store's 40th birthday. So there was like 18 of us on the bill 9 in each half at the comedy store in London and the bill was absolutely ridiculous there was two sort of up and coming acts on the bill
Starting point is 00:28:15 one was me and one was Tom Ward and the rest of it was like McIntyre, John Bishop Alexi Sale, Omar Jalili, Stephen K. Amos, Rich Hall, just who's who?
Starting point is 00:28:32 No women. Joe Caulfield was on. Yes, Joe. Just the storyline. Who else was on? A pretty good fucking bill. Steve Gribben was on Steve Gribben closed because he's musical
Starting point is 00:28:48 he closed the gig but it was just ridiculous and the first half back to back Zoe Lyons as well so the first half went Alexi Sale Zoe Lyons, John Bishop Michael McIntyre,
Starting point is 00:29:05 Ahmed Jalili. And McIntyre, mate, was so, so sound. Like, just dead nice. Like, he was in the green room. I went up and went, hiya, Michael. Nice to meet you. My name's Adam. I'm on a bit later on.
Starting point is 00:29:18 He didn't stay to watch the second half. He needed to set and got off, as you'd expect him to. But in the green room, he was just, like, the nicest the nicest normal comic fella i heard all these stories of him being i've heard those stories where he can be a bit funny and entertain themselves but i'd also heard he was a bit snooty and arrogant and condescending and i just got none of that vibe from him at all he just he was dead sound he spoke to me like like a peer rather than beneath him and i got told from what i imagine is probably a combination of half truths and jealousy that he was quite condescending to other people and the same i just didn't get that from him at all yeah i did a
Starting point is 00:29:58 support for him when he was doing a warm-up for the road show in leeds this is a while ago and i'd heard some of that stuff as well and he was the nicest and also introduced me in a very generous way like went on and did 10 15 then really softened them up and then went now i'm doing new stuff but to justify the 12 quid or whatever that you're paying we've got a brilliant comedian from the circuit you might have seen him here before he's absolutely superb he's called down night and girl i'm so chuffed that he can do it and you're like he doesn't have to do any of that for me that's just the sign of a of a non-shit in it yeah he's a good guy he's a top comic all right baby from our sponsors all right now then lids i want to tell you about trans alloy wheels limited alloy wheel

Starting point is 00:33:49 Millennium ID. Millennium ID. You just need a small bottle because it's expensive. You know, you were thinking about investing in oil. I'd honestly say it would be a safe bet to invest in Millennium Lube genuinely you can order this
Starting point is 00:34:10 either as a one time purchase or a subscription where they send you a bottle a month and they knock two quid off per bottle if you subscribe how are we not, I want a beer52.com style sponsorship from Millennium Lube.
Starting point is 00:34:27 And I mean this just without any disrespect to our listeners. I think we've got a lot of wankers listening. You reckon? Not in a negative way, in a positive way. Are you ordering some? What size bottle are you going for? It's 250 mil oh nice 18 quid saving on that oil money hey do you know what just before we crack on with this i've just realized that lube is on amazon Prime. Now, Amazon Prime at the minute are only delivering essential items on Prime,
Starting point is 00:35:08 which means they class lube. That's up there with bread and milk. Bread, milk, cereal, lube. What about AA batteries? Don't be fucking stupid. We're not fucking made of deliveries. Penicillin, insulin lube because you don't want dead children
Starting point is 00:35:27 or chafing are they really still doing the essentials yeah is it just the essentials because I've got some but it's very limited crime service right I've ordered a skipping rope and that's not coming for a week

Starting point is 00:37:39 Hi, Adam and Dan. Very respectful. Thank you, Finchie. You played our song Tinderella a few weeks ago. The name of the band adam sometime today uh brilliant track a lot of people enjoyed it um he says thank you we're really grateful she says i'm currently sat next to my wife who is also sending you an email with a drunk story and would you rather about fucking goats okay i've got that one in hand. He says,
Starting point is 00:38:07 I have a bad sex story for the pod. Not a virginity story, but still just as bad. So this was back in 2007. So this was back in 2007. There was 12 of us who went to Newquay for our mate's 21st. To cut a long story short,
Starting point is 00:38:22 there was only me and another lad out at the end of a long drinking sesh as everyone else had gone back to the campsite. My mate was trying to pull anything with a pulse. I was basically on my own and just as I was about to leave, I got pulled back to the dance floor by some bird who started grinding on me to Reach by S Club 7, the sexiest of all the S Club 7 songs.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Reach for my tits. How do you grind to Reach? I love S Club 7 songs. Reach for my tits. How do you grind to reach? Like, I love S Club 7. I'm a fan of their work, but you can't grind to reach for the stars. Climb every mountain high and reach. That's a body popping song, isn't it? That's a shoulders and hips song.
Starting point is 00:39:03 It's not a... It sounds like the most... I don't see nothing wrong. that's a shoulders and hips song it's not a it sounds like the most that's a grind song it's it sounds like the most sinister fucking school disco ever how rough was your school that there was grinding during reach for the stars elaine elaine get away from him i'm every mountain high and reach for the stars Slut dropping in year four And when that rainbow's shining over you That's when your dreams will all come true Shut up
Starting point is 00:39:35 At the end of the song she said You're coming home with me Now it's just put that in quotation marks but I think it's funnier that I've made her have that voice and I've decided that that's the voice she's going to have You're coming home with me. Now, he's just put that in quotation marks, but I think it's funnier that I've made her have that voice. And I've decided that that's the voice she's going to
Starting point is 00:39:48 have. You're coming home with me. And dragged me out the door, to which I was obviously made up. We walked down the beach and we saw someone she knew and she ran over and then I started having some chat with some Chelsea fans about knocking them out of the Champions League. He's a red. After about 15 minutes, the girl comes running back
Starting point is 00:40:03 over saying, alright right here's our taxi so i was like oh fuck great i thought this was gone back in the game so i get in the taxi with her and it's all getting hot and bothered on the back seats we're in the car for about 20 minutes maybe we're getting off and even started oh god i wasn't i wasn't expecting that. We're getting off and I've even started slipping a cheeky finger up there. I can see the taxi driver looking in his rear view mirror at us, but he's not saying anything. And I'm thinking, yeah, I'm the man. I'm the dirty bastard.
Starting point is 00:40:36 He's loving it, which put me off a bit, to be honest. Anyway, we pull up outside the girl's house and get out of the taxi, but the taxi driver also gets out. I say to her, where's he going? He doesn't think he's coming with us, does he? To which she replies, no, he's my dad. I was mortified. Her dad.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Her dad was the taxi driver. He must have picked us up at the end of his shift in his taxi, and I'd basically frigged a girl off in front of her own dad. No, no, no, no, not having it. Call them bullshit. There's no way any girl is getting fingered in the back of her dad's taxi. Imagine being that open about sex with your parents that A, you'd let yourself be fingered in front of them,
Starting point is 00:41:24 or B, you'd watch your daughter get fingered in front of them or b you'd watch your daughter get fingered in front of you i did this immensely disturbing but being a horny 21 year old i thought fuck it i'm gonna get laid so proceeded to slip one up her twice but made no hang on what oh right okay good we they had sex twice but he left before the parents got up in the morning and he buggered off. Finchy. I can't, I can't, I can't. Are you calling bullshit? Yeah, defo.
Starting point is 00:41:53 There's no way, there's no way that any girl is in the back of her dad's taxi and is getting blasted. Getting blasted. And is like, I'm fine with this. She'd at least be batting his hand away and go, no. She'd have said, that's me, Dad. I don't care. No one is open enough sexually with their parents
Starting point is 00:42:15 to get fingered in front of them. Nobody. Not a chance. What you're forgetting here is that Finchie, I think he laid the groundwork for this story when he said she was grinding to reach by s club seven i say fucking granddad the dj because that's the only way that that's admissible evidence in this debate okay mate if you can grind to s club
Starting point is 00:42:39 seven songs you can get finger banged in a in a in the back of your dad's car and there's the no context have a word oh so while he's been emailing this his wife and marie is also emailed in a would you rather and as it's monday and sometimes we start a little bit flat at the start of the week i thought we'd you know what we'd-Marie, get us going. Would you rather have shagged a goat and have no one know about it or have never shagged a goat
Starting point is 00:43:12 and have everyone think that you have? I am 60% sure we've already done this. Would you rather? We'll do it again. I'm more than happy to do it again. It wasn't't a go i want to know what kind of fucked up household these two live in that finch she's telling that story like darling i'm marie look what i'm saying could you just spell check that for me she's like no there's just one g and finger hey yeah nice one thanks babe love you what are you emailing in I'm emailing the goat would you rather brilliant love
Starting point is 00:43:46 you see you tonight fucking hell Rob Thomas comedian and friend of the pod does a bit of stand up about

Starting point is 00:44:02 would shag the goat what and you keep it secret yeah I'd rather shag the goat. What, and you keep it secret? Yeah. I'd rather shag a goat and no one know than everyone think I've shagged a goat. My reputation is more important to me than the hygiene of me dick.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Why a goat? I find goats quite sinister. The option isn't, would you rather shag a goat or something else? No, I know, but if it was a sheep, I think sheep are a bit more docile. Like, goats can kick. They can what? Is it a willing goat?
Starting point is 00:44:34 You've rehypnoled it, so it's not going to do anything. Oh, well, I'm not raping it. Why? Oh, that's awful. I want a goat who's up for it, like... Like what? Do that noise again? Please? Oh, that's awful. I want a goat who's up for it, like... What? Do that noise again? Please?
Starting point is 00:44:49 I don't want to... I don't know how goat rape is. Is that your horny goat noise? Yeah. How do you do it? Go on, you do a horny goat. Order! Order!
Starting point is 00:45:02 I think you just did a backbench Tory MP. Oh, yeah, blah. Oh, yeah, Dan. I'm Jenny the goat. Fuck me in my goat pussy. Oh, is it a female goat? Yeah. Oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Why did I assume that goats were boys? Hey, Dan. I'm Jenny the goat. Fuck me in my goat pussy with your tiny little pink human dick. You ain't going to touch the sides, motherfucker. I'm Jenny the goat. I've been taking goat dick for 45 years. And now I need something smaller. Why is your a black American goat?

Are you fucking the goats or are you just not fucking a goat? I just don't want to have to roll hip Not a goat I just don't know
Starting point is 00:46:20 I find that more sinister I don't know That's not an answer to would you rather I'll have a drunk goat I just find that more sinister. How can I don't know? That's not an answer to a would you rather. I'll have a drunk goat. I'll have a drunk goat. I'm not drugging a goat. I just think it's... I want a willing goat.
Starting point is 00:46:33 I want a goat that if you play Reach by S Club 7, the goat backs up. Goat's willing. So are you fucking the goat but no one knows or everyone thinks you've fucked a goat? I'm definitely shagging the goat, by the way. It's not even debatable. Can I shave the goat?
Starting point is 00:46:57 Yeah. You can do whatever you want to the goat before you fuck it, but you've still fucked a goat. Are we talking about Tom Brady? Are we talking about Michael Jordan? Are we talking about Michael Jordan? Was that your Michael Jordan? Are you thinking about Luis Suarez?
Starting point is 00:47:19 I've got more but we're not... I asked the question. I need closure. Answer the question. If have any closure answer the question if i'm allowed to shave around the goat right around the goat's vagina and we've all had a few oh i tell you what if it's at the end of the night and i've had a bit of coke yeah i'll be up for it i'll be like fuck it yeah yeah yeah just have a bump.

Starting point is 00:49:34 Send us some problems with your friends and your family and we'll solve them for you. Have a word. Very musical. Yes, it is. So this is our Patreon producer episode ladies and gentlemen for those who don't know
Starting point is 00:49:47 every Monday we shout out our Patreon producers if you don't know what Patreon is it's a way for you to financially support the production of this podcast
Starting point is 00:49:55 we've got a Patreon page you can go to patreon.com slash have a weird pod Patreon is spelled P-A-T-R-E-O-N dot com slash have a weird pod you can sign up for £3 R E O N.com slash have a weird pod.
Starting point is 00:50:05 You can sign up for three, five or 10 pound a month. And that money goes towards support me and Dan through this awful fucking coronavirus time and helps us keep producing as much podcast content as we possibly can. And we've got quite a few of you signed up to that. Now we're so, so grateful for all the support we've got from both Patreon people and from
Starting point is 00:50:23 our sponsors without you guys, this shit just isn't appreciate you guys. Thank you. Everyone who signs up to the £10 tier of our Patreon program becomes an official producer of the podcast and every single Monday on the episodes, we read out the full list of £10 Patreon
Starting point is 00:50:39 producers at the end of the episode after the song that we play as a big thank you to say you're officially a member of our team. Now, if you sign up for £3 or £5, we appreciate you just as much as we do the £10 people. We just can't read everyone else. And what we've been saying is if you sign up during the shutdown for £3, you get a ticket to a free thank you live show
Starting point is 00:51:00 that we're going to put on at some point after the restrictions are lifted. If you sign up for £5, you get two tickets are lifted if you sign up for five you get two tickets and if you sign up for the ten you get two tickets we're coming to a point where we're going to have to change that because this live show is going to be unsustainable, we're already probably looking at two shows, so I think
Starting point is 00:51:18 by this time next week we're going to have to draw a line under the free ticket offer so if you want that free ticket for signing up to the Patreon, you need to do it this week because at some point on Monday next week, we are going to have to draw a line under that. Now, if you're thinking, well, why would I stay as a Patreon? I think what we're going to do is change how we're doing things and help. And basically it means that we're going to give extra content
Starting point is 00:51:41 for just the Patreon listeners. There's going to be benefits if you're on the Patreon beyond just the free ticket. But we have to draw a line on it because right now we've got a thank you gig for 650 people. We are ironing out the details
Starting point is 00:51:55 of what the Patreon program is going to be coming forward. And next Monday, we are going to announce what that is. This is our final week of sort of deliberating what we want to do with that. But from next Monday,
Starting point is 00:52:05 everyone who is a patron, you're going to get some fantastic benefits for supporting us through this time. We're so grateful to you. Now, as Dan said, we have got to put a cut off
Starting point is 00:52:13 on these free tickets on a Friday because otherwise it's going to cost us about 10 grand to put a fucking show on by the time we hire a massive venue.
Starting point is 00:52:20 So next Monday, as you'll all know, we record these episodes on the day that we go out. So just before next Monday's'll all know, we record these episodes on the day that we go out. So just before next Monday's episode, just before we record it, I'm going to go through the Patreon and add up exactly who's getting what tickets and as of next Monday,
Starting point is 00:52:35 that's the cut-off point for these free tickets for the thank you show, which is likely to be in Liverpool at the end of this shutdown. It's going to be a fucking amazing night. We can't wait to spend some time with you all and have a little drink with you afterwards and just meet the people who've been interacting with us so much. The cut-off point for that is
Starting point is 00:52:52 going to be next Monday's Patreon producer episode. So if you want to go and sign up to patreon.com have a word pod by next Monday morning slash early afternoon. Go and sign up. I will read your name out obviously but then you'll
Starting point is 00:53:08 be in the bag to get your free ticket that is when we're going to issue the free tickets and we'll probably contact all of our patrons next week to talk about how we go about getting those tickets out and if you're worried about the change coming don't worry we've got you, we're not going to make things worse we're going to make things better
Starting point is 00:53:22 there is certain decisions have to be made because certain things are unsustainable like it was amazing the offer and it's still going to be an amazing show but it can't be like a case that in the last week of july someone signs up for patreon at three quid gets a ticket for a show that's the next week there had to be a cutoff point but if you're worried about the change it's going to make the podcast better there is some juicy stuff coming your way. I promise. We're never, ever, ever... We've said it so much now that it sounds almost
Starting point is 00:53:52 redundant, but without you guys, we wouldn't have survived this lockdown at all, and we are never, ever, ever going to forget these people. You people that have helped us get to this point, and trust us, the benefits long-term to being a Patreon and a have-a-word, the stuff that you helped us get to this point and trust us, the benefits long term to being a Patreon and have a word, the stuff that you're going to be helping
Starting point is 00:54:07 fund and the stuff that you're going to be getting in return is going to be well, well worth the few quid a week you send our way. We're going to reach for the stars. Climb every mountain high and reach That's been solid now, hasn't it? We're going to grind up against you. Shall we have a quick word, lads?
Starting point is 00:54:26 Yes, mate. Someone. What, Guan? So, all right, lads. Please have a word with my absolute fucking dick of a wife. Jesus Christ. I love that other words can start aggressive, you know. We've started having a weekly Saturday date night
Starting point is 00:54:45 through the lockdown. We have a half-decent meal. We open the wine, and we each take turns in choosing a stand-up special to watch, which I think is a fucking beautiful idea, by the way. Nice. What a relation. This is stand-up fans, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:54:59 This is proper comedy fans. They watch a stand-up special every week. Anyway, it was my turn tonight, so I picked Bert Kreischer. If you don't know who Bert is, go and check him out. He's got a very famous routine called The Machine. Go and search that on YouTube if you haven't seen it already.
Starting point is 00:55:14 Bert Kreischer. I'd never seen him before, but I thought I'd give it a try. For some fucking reason, my wife wanted to watch the trailer first. She's never asked this before, but she instantly decided she doesn't like him because she thought he was sexist just by that 52
Starting point is 00:55:30 fucking second trailer she then refused to watch it and ruined my fucking evening by being in a mood and now she'll happily watch someone like Jimmy Carr who is equally if not more sexist why the fuck is she being an absolute fucking cockwomble?
Starting point is 00:55:48 Great word. Cheers, lads. And if there's any half-decent women who want to be my plus one at your thank you night, please let me know, as I'll be kicking her the fuck out when this lockdown ends. Cheers from Andy. Yeah, Andy, there's loads of women being lined up to get called a shit fucking all sorts of names.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Cockwomble. Fucking shit-cunt cockwomble. That's what going through the divorce with his ex-missus who says he's sexist but he's honest and he just i just know where i stand you know he thinks i'm a cockwomble and he's not afraid to say it um it's fucking not easy picking stand-up specials to watch with anyone i like watching stand-up specials on my own like burke crash is not sexist he's a big fat american dude who gigs with his top off he's a big sweaty mess he's the fattest man in the world that's just for some of the Tom Segura fans but and he's a racist but no I just don't know how it's amazing to me that this has been a thing they've done and this is the
Starting point is 00:56:54 first time they've hit trouble because I hate picking stand up specials with someone else like I don't want to watch it and you're like well fuck you it's like tricky can I tell you what I think's happened here I don't think she's asked about Bert Kreischer and she's certainly not asked about sexism if she's into watching Jimmy Carr, okay?
Starting point is 00:57:12 She understands, if she watches this much stand-up and she watches someone like Jimmy Carr, she understands that a joke is a joke. I'll tell you what happened. She was in a fucking mood because it's lockdown and she just wanted a reason
Starting point is 00:57:24 to fucking kick off. That's what it was, okay she just wanted a reason to fucking kick off. That's what it was, okay? She wanted a reason to be like, I don't give a shit what you fucking want. I'm not watching it. I'm doing my own thing. She just wanted a bit of an argument. That's what's happened.
Starting point is 00:57:40 And mate, Andy, tell you what, I live with someone just fucking like this woman, okay? It's exactly the fucking same, and I'm well on Andy's side. She doesn't give a shit about the content of his comedy. She just didn't want to have date night again because it's fucking Groundhog Day, innit?
Starting point is 00:57:57 That's all it was. She was in a mood. She's not arsed, and neither am I. Andy's missus, you're a twat fuck. Oh, Adam's back. He you're a twat fuck. Oh, Adam's back. He's had a weekend of rests. He's charged up his batteries. Jade does this.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Jade does this. What Jade does, I'll go, oh, have you seen this new thing? I really want to watch it. And if she's in a bad mood, she'll decide. Before she watches anything, I'll go, just watch the trailer. I'll go on then. I'll watch the trailer. It could be the best trailer for the best fucking program of
Starting point is 00:58:28 all time. Oh, it just looks shit. Do you know what Jade said? Do you know The Wire, right? Arguably the greatest thing ever made drama-wise. I got Jade to watch episode one of The Wire and she went, oh, it's just not like amazing, isn't it? I was like, you've watched episode one?
Starting point is 00:58:44 Yeah, but it looks all old, doesn't it? Yeah, because cameras were different 15 years ago. That doesn't mean the quality of the acting and the story isn't good. That's it. Had you already watched The Wire at this point when you tried to make a... I've watched series one.
Starting point is 00:58:57 See, I think that's even worse than trying to choose a stand-up special that neither of you watch. When you've watched something and you think it's amazing, and then you're like, oh, love, we should watch this. And then because you've seen it and you rate it, you're constantly watching the person next year to see if they like it.
Starting point is 00:59:14 It's so loaded, that situation. I don't know why anyone tries. Nate Bargatze, the Tennessee kid, I think it's great. I watched it several times. Tried to watch it with Laura. She wasn't laughing enough. And honestly, she hadn't even said she didn't like it i shut the whole thing down closed the laptop and walked off because she just she just wasn't fucking have you heard your your diatribe you're a whiny bitch i ain't watching when someone when you want them to like it you
Starting point is 00:59:43 end up not watching the thing and just watching them watch it. That's a fucking horrible situation. It's so rare to get a good night out of that. It's so rare that they're like, you know what? That is a masterpiece. Let's go to bed and have sex.
Starting point is 00:59:57 It's always like, I thought it was all right. Well, fuck you and fuck your dad. How dare you call me a whiny bitch after you've had your fucking pro. You're a cockwomble, mate. We're not watching it. We're not watching it if you're not laughing at us.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Oh my God, you're such a contradiction. You're such a fucking hypocrite. That literally ties into so much of the shit that you whinge against. And just because you're like, no, I'm going to take against this as well. Listen, read your fucking song out. I need to go and have my tea.
Starting point is 01:00:28 You cockwomble. It's going to be a long week, this one. I'm on your side. I'd tell your beard to fucking have a word with herself. Give her that wobble. The nasty bitch. And you know what, Andy? You can be my plus one to the fucking
