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!
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
oh oh jesus i wondered where you were going with that oh it went it sounded like the start of that oh
baby i love you every day
oh i want to be with you night and day how has your day been?
Yeah, pretty fucking good.
I tell you what, sneaky, my brother-in-law going back to Sheffield has just made the grooves of how you deal with a day when Laura's working,
nine till two, I've got Etta.
I can't do anything else.
It's just me and her.
We can twat around.
I can do a job if she's willing to be in the vicinity.
As soon as she goes, Dad, I'm not doing this. I i'm fucking off not having an argument with a three year old so we just i've been doing little bits when sam was here i was like right mate you're on
etta duty let me do this fucking job for an hour and a half but because he's 25 he's like oh i was
just on the phone and and then you'd see etta wandering and then she'd
just trip into something because they're a moron they're morons three-year-olds and they don't
know how to work fucking gravity and then he comes through like but it it's just easier to be like
this is what i'm fucking doing so as soon as laura finished at two she tags in and then i get to do
jobs that is start don't get me wrong i couldn't do that for
eternity but for now it's weirdly like it's simple just get on with it that's how we're dealing with
the day so yeah pretty good pretty good how was your day because you've never i've just a little
peek behind the curtain adam was like mate can you just prep the show today and i'll do tomorrow's
and i didn't ask why i was just like absolutely i'll prep the show today and I'll do tomorrow's? And I didn't ask why. I was just like, absolutely.
I'll prep the show.
I'm just assuming you've not had the most fun day of your life.
I woke up pissed off.
Right.
You know when you just wake up in a mood.
It happens to me maybe once a year normally.
And I just woke up like
and I didn't even have a
particularly bad sleep I've had about
eight hours
didn't remember waking up throughout the night
so it's not like I've had a disturbed sleep
and I just woke up in a
in a bit of a funk
to about five messages from
me going I think we should do this what do you think
we should do this because I've been up at seven and i've got a fucking can of monster so i'm like adam
i know it's caught by day you just answer this when you get up and i i realized i saw your response
and i was like yeah adam wasn't in the mood for them adam wasn't in the mood for waking up to them
it wasn't even just that because i had about four or five messages from you about three from my dad
there's three whatsapp groups that i'm in and they've all gone fucking mental this morning
with different things
and I just woke up to a load of shit and I was like
no, no, no
today can fuck off and then I was
like right, get downstairs in a
minute and then I even said
to Jade, I was like babe, will you do me a favour?
Will you just go and make me some toast? Please
and God bless her, she did
she made me a cup of tea and
some toast did she sensed it she was like usually i'd be like suck my balls make your own toast but
she's like there's something his aura needs carbohydrate and then i i had my breakfast
and then i was sat there and i was like all right i'll have a coffee in a minute and then i'll go
and prep today's episode and then you'd ask me what time you want to do it today and I was like, let's do four o'clock,
which is pretty much our normal time.
And then I noticed myself feeling a bit better
and I was like, do you know what?
If we do four o'clock, then I'll probably be fine.
But if we wait till five, if I push it back,
I'll probably be on form by then.
I'll feel all right.
Nice.
So I was like, right, push it back to five
so you're in a decent mood.
It sort of worked. I'm in a better mood than I was an hour ago.
And I asked you to prep
the episode because I was like, I just want to
fucking do nothing for a couple of hours.
Yeah. And if Dan can do that
and take care of it and I can do tomorrow's,
I reckon tomorrow I'll be back. Mojo
back, I'll be sound. But I've just woke up
in a fucking mood and I think I've ruined
any progress I made. Not any progress, but something. Because I've in a fucking mood and I think I've ruined any progress I made. Not
any progress, but something. Because I've
spent a lot of time just sat down on social
media and
it's just getting a bit fucking
draining looking at all the same
fucking miserable shit. Yeah. And then
there's a load of fat people fucking whinging
at Adele at the minute because she's lost a load
of weight and that's fucking
How dare you, Adele?
I like your music, Pius.
Now you've left me alone
in Fat Club. Come on.
I just put a tweet out.
There's nothing funnier than fat people
moaning at former fat people
for not being fat anymore.
It's like if you're a fan
of a fucking shit football club like
Carlisle and Barcelona offer you Star Striker,
a fucking move to La Liga and the Champions League,
and you're like, what's he going there for?
Does he not want to play for Carlisle forever?
No, he's realised he's better than you.
He should stay in Rotherham.
He should stay in Rotherham.
There's nothing wrong with it.
I mean, you've got easy access to Sheffield
and the medal-winning Champions League.
What the fuck do you need Barcelona for?
Oh, fucking hell.
Yeah.
So Adele's put this photo up on Instagram
for her birthday or something,
and she's lost even more weight than she had a few months ago.
And she looks fucking amazing.
And loads of people are rightly commenting
and sharing the photo going,
oh my God, doesn't Adele look amazing? And there's
all these fucking professional
fat people. And we're like, well,
I don't think we should be tying
beauty in with
thinness because you can be
fat and be beautiful. And you
know what? You can. You can
be fat and be beautiful. I'm not saying there's no
beautiful fat people, but what I'm saying is
most people look a little bit better
if they lose a few pounds. Adele looks
better than she did a few years ago, and you're
allowed to stay as fat and ugly as you want.
That's what it is. It's fat people feeling
like their way of life is being threatened. Are they
going to make us all go to the gym and
eat salads and stuff? No! You can eat
as much shit as you like and get
as fat as you want for the rest of
lockdown. No one's saying you can't
but don't expect me and every other
cunt on the planet to pretend you look
as good as Adele now does because you
fucking don't, okay?
Be as ugly as you want within the walls of your
own fucking house.
Also, let people lose
weight or put it on if they fucking want.
I used to love Adele
and I think it's real. If anyone is is taking that tack then they need to fuck off i can't believe she's lost weight i
don't like her as much fucking hell you should be able to pay it on or lose it as you see fit if
that's why you like to dell you weren't a real fan in the fucking first place and just because
someone else goes you look amazing well done for weight, that's not slagging you off personally.
That's someone just congratulating Adele
on something she's clearly wanted to achieve.
She tried to set out to lose weight.
It's not just everyone who's lost weight
we're going to congratulate.
It's Adele going, I want for me, for my health,
for my kids, for my whatever, self-perception,
I want to lose weight.
If she'd lost it because they'd found like a tumor,
no one's going to go on Twitter going,
well done on the AIDS, you know?
You've done, honestly, you look fantastic.
It's because she's tried to achieve something,
and she has, but people take it personally.
Because you're saying she looks amazing,
you're saying I look like a big fat pig.
There's some beautiful fat A's,
there's some beautiful rotunds.
I love a lady that's thicker
than a snicker i don't want skinny bony but you can't attack adele for achieving something
something she wanted to achieve or anyone congratulating her it's more the fact that
she set out to do something and fucking done it it's not about you you fucking get a decision
to remain fat
every time you have something that you know puts weight
on you, a Chinese takeaway
a pizza, a load of fucking chips
every time you do that, you're making a decision
and you know who else is doing it? Me
and that's why I can speak
from a position of authority on this
because I'm a fat ugly cunt and it's my fucking
fault, it's no one else's fault
and I've lost weight before, I lost three stone a few
years ago and I look fucking gorgeous
mate, I look fucking wonderful
and I used that time to find
a beautiful woman, I got her, made
her fall in love with me and then I put all the weight
back on because now she loves me too much
to fucking leave me, okay? That's
how you do it. That's the way of the
jungle. And then you go back
to who you really are
you make yourself look as good as you possibly can you get them emotionally committed and then
you get to the cake shop yes and you pay for the cake i know i don't look great love but
i put these on the debit card love it there's a there's a girl's a girl who lives not far from ours.
So my barber
that I go to regularly,
who I don't go to at the minute
and I'd fucking love to
because my hair's a mess.
His cousin has started
their own bakery,
like making cakes and stuff.
Yeah.
And a few months ago,
I went for an air court
and he went,
lad, if I give you some,
if I give you six free brownies,
will you just do a couple of posts
on Instagram and stuff
and tell people to order
some cakes off our Olivia?
Yeah.
And I was like,
of course I will.
Yeah.
They're fucking amazing.
Right.
They're wonderful.
So I got a free box of first,
but I've ordered like five other boxes since then.
Yeah.
Keep going back to her.
Jade,
who is now a vegan.
Um,
the,
the brownies are not vegan,
but every now and then Jable let herself have a little trees.
And a couple of weeks ago, she was like, those brownies are really good but every now and then jay will let herself have a little treat and a couple of weeks ago she was like those brownies are really good but and he just was just
like if they're in the house i'll eat them so let's try and not have them in the house as much
as possible and i was like okay cool but i'm like do you know what i could just keep fattening you
up and then you'll get fatter and you'll get fatter and not only will you be like oh i can't
have a go at adam for being fat because i'm already fat, so it's all fine.
Also, you won't have the confidence to leave me when I become enough of a dickhead into your head.
When you inevitably tire of my bullshit,
you'll be like, oh, I want to leave,
but the battery on my fat person mobility scooter's run down.
Yeah, mate, there's nothing wrong with chubbing out
when you're in love.
That's part of the fucking
deal i've got two portions of my wardrobe i've got stuff that currently fits me and stuff i've
bought ambitiously in case i ever have to get thin again the aspirational section what happens is i
go to town and like i'll be looking for like a new jacket or something and the large will be
like a little bit too tight but the extra large will be like a little bit too tight,
but the extra large is like maybe a little tiny bit too big.
So what I do is I go, right, I'll get the large
because that'll make me lose a bit of weight over the next few months.
And then I'll eventually be able to put that large on and I'll be like,
do you know what? I remember when I bought this, this was tight,
but now it fits great and it'll make me feel good.
And then what happens is I come home i put it in the
wardrobe for a bit about three months later i try it on it fits even worse than it did in the first
place and then i come for tea to make myself feel better fucking vicious i think i i because i've
been thin like people do congratulate you i lost weight properly lost weight about four years ago
and ended up going from about 15 stone
to 11 and you did like a juice plus thing though didn't you yeah i did the cambridge weight plan
and i'm a plan yeah it's basically a posh expensive version way of saying fucking slim fast
yeah and i you lose two stone and everyone's like oh my god like you're down to 13 then you get down to like 12 and a
half 12 and people like you look amazing and then i got to 11 and and my sister was just i hadn't
seen her for a couple of months and she went fucking hell oh oh no christ almighty your head
looks too big for your fucking body oh and i saw deliso shonda who's uh only the only african comedian we know
and he was like wow if you were african i'd just assume you had hiv that's how much that's how much
weight you've lost uh yeah and then i all that time i knew i was working on it i was jogging i
was doing well i was fucking it was all going in the right direction i knew i was working on it i was jogging i was doing well it's fucking
it was all going in the right direction so when i was buying clothes i was like no i'm gonna go
well shit fucking top man small is different from a burton small i'm gonna get a top man small and
see if i can because i knew that's where i was going and for the last three years it's just been
going the other way and when i shop i'm doing the opposite of you
i'm just like i know this is only going one way at the moment i don't know when it's gonna stop
but i'm i did a little close-up have you ever used eminem direct they're like a bit like sports
direct but hopefully not as douchey and they just do i don't know i'm not bothered about labels but
they do like good quality material like t--shirts, like four quid or whatever.
It seems to be stuff from a couple of years ago
that was probably never that fashionable,
but I like it.
For 70 quid,
you can end up with like five,
six tops.
Just,
I ordered it.
There was a bit of me thinking,
should I get medium?
I was like,
not in this fucking lockdown,
Dan.
If you want to wear it in this lockdown,
just get fucking large,
except where this is going.
So I've just got large
and everything fits and it's when that shit stops fitting that i might have to change my
ferry ways a couple of months ago um when i did my liverpool tour date i was filming it
and i was like i want to just wear a black hoodie i just want a plain black car heart hoodie and i
ordered one uh online for next day delivery via Amazon prime.
Yeah.
I ordered XL cause I was like,
I'll get it and it'll be a bit baggy.
Cause Carhartt sizes tend to be quite generous.
A lot of them.
It was very,
very,
very generous to the point where I couldn't wear it.
And I had to go to the shop on the way to the gig that night to buy a
different black hoodie to wear on stage.
The,
the massive one that I bought,
I've been fucking living
in it because it's still about a size and a half too big but when you've got no one to impress and
nowhere to go a fucking oversized hoodie that i've slept in it i've slept in it and got up the next
day kept it on literally all day not got a shower or a bath and slept in it again i'm literally
living in this hoodie it's amazing yeah but that's a lot or a bath and slept in it again. I'm literally living in this hoodie. It's amazing.
That's the lockdown rules, isn't it?
The one day I wore
a shirt and I had a reason I
wore it. As soon as we got on the Zoom, you were
like,
what the fuck?
What are you in a fucking collar for, you
fucking nonce? You were straight
on it. What is it, your court day for
being a fucking nonce? Oh, sorry. Just is it your core day for being a fucking nonce
um sorry it's just what just one sec i need to just double check this name i think it's
andrew morris i got a tweet before it's just dead important that i meant to um
i told him i'd try and remember for the podcast okay good it's a little bit worried that i
shouted nonce and you went oh let me just yeah
andrew morris yeah you'll see why though his name's andrew morris it's andy morris 85 andi
morris 85 on twitter um he just tweeted me and said all right love it's my birthday today could
you call dave and nonce for me please cheers so you're a nonce lad noncey fucking Dave happy birthday Andrew I did it for you
he'd probably listen up until that point
going oh Adam's just like on the sly
told him to call himself a nonce
this episode for me
no I've just done it
I know which bit of banter
fucking butters my bread
these days
yeah fucking good on you, Adele.
You do what you want, love.
Adele looks amazing.
You know what?
Adele from, I saw this tweet where there's three Adeles.
There's the one from like, you know, like, hello, it's me.
She looked amazing then.
She looked amazing then.
And then there was one from, I was chasing payment.
Oh, whatever it was, the first album.
And I was like, shit, she did not look good then.
That is, you know, the Cambridge weight plan
that I was talking about in the Slim Fast.
You know, the before and after picture.
That's the fucking before picture.
Like, here I am.
That was, yeah.
I mean, whatever.
It's not about size.
Fucking some, there's some ugly, unattractive,
thin, healthy people.
Some fucking rotten looking twats who are in a size eight.
You know what I mean? It's nothing about that.
One of my favourite porn stars, what's she called?
I can't remember what I called her.
She's thicker than a Snickers.
Love it, mate.
I love it.
I think it's sexy a bit of me.
I worry. Yeah, but there's a's sexy a bit of me. I worry.
Yeah, but there's a difference
between a bit of me
and being a fat twat.
Do you know what I mean?
There's a difference between
having it, like,
not being ripped and all,
like, skinny or whatever,
and being a fucking beached whale.
There's a difference
between those two things.
Some people are into it, though.
Some people are into it.
There's a whole,
is it the BBW? Where you're like, some people are into it, though. Some people are into it. There's a whole... Is it the BBW?
Where you're like...
Some people are.
And look, I'm not here.
I'm not here to slag off people
with a mental illness.
I'm not going to do that, Dan.
So I'm not going to go into that, okay?
What I'll say is that there's certain things
that being that big
has to be true about you
for you to be that big.
And nothing summarizes this better.
We've mentioned a few times on this
that I'm into like rap battles.
There's an American guy called Roan,
R-O-N-E,
and he battled another American guy
called Big T.
And his third round,
Big T is enormous.
I love his name.
And Roan is like quite a fit lad
from Philadelphia, right?
And in his third round, he
like, because obviously
in battle rap, if you battle on someone who's fat, you'll do
the odd fat joke, but he took fat jokes
to a whole new level
and criticized him as a human
being for five
fucking minutes. It's
brutal, and I'm telling you right now,
you'll love it. I'll send you the clip later and I'll tweet it on the
Havoware account. Roan versus Big T.
Roan's third round.
Roan could have not said anything
for the first two rounds of that battle.
And with his third round alone, would have won 3-0.
Oh, Jesus.
I'd love to get massive though.
Do you know what I mean? If you're going to do it,
you might as well fucking properly
do it
you know what I mean like I mean if you're gonna do it
people are like I'm a bit fat I'll bore off
get fucking massive
get so fat
it becomes a disability
that's how fat you wanna be where the government
are like fuck me you are so big
you need a check that's I would
love I wanna get meat would love, I want to get Meteor as far,
I want like documentary crews in.
That's how far I want to get.
Yeah, right there, right.
Where have you gone to?
I'm trying to get this, the lyrics up for the third round of
Rowan against Big T because I want to read some of them out to you
because it's fucking unbelievable.
Oh, God.
You ready?
Yeah.
So I worried they'd paint me simply
if fat jokes were all I'd bring for Big T,
but this is the first really fat guy I've battled,
so this is big for me.
I mean, these fat jokes are mad heavy.
You might get mad at me.
I might lose all my fat friends.
Oh, wait, I don't have any.
So if regular fat people wear big tees with their bathing suits,
you take it to the next level and probably
bathe in suits.
I mean, I'd clown him about his
outfit, but his face looks like it's
drowning. You don't have a lazy eye,
you have a lazy face around it.
Jesus Christ.
You look like the Teflon Don
if he was covered in Teflon or a
walrus who's dipped all of his blubber
in Exxon. Fuck a bug. He'd
kill any mammal he stepped on.
If Biggie saw this piggy he would
think he was dead wrong.
I mean as far as food, what have we got today?
Lobster face, pasta place.
He's black and Islamic.
What the fuck is he?
A chocolate shake.
I mean, you're too fat to work for a restaurant.
That's a fucking great line.
Hang on.
That's got to be given the respect it deserves.
He's black and Islamic.
What is he?
A chocolate shake. You're he, a chocolate shake?
You're like, oh, gee.
I mean, your blood pressure is fucking the price of a brick.
You're addicted to steaks if we're talking life on the strip.
We would need a whole tray to put ice on your wrist
and your fingers are too fat so you fucking type with a stick.
Oh, God. too fat so you fucking type with a stick. Oh god.
Oh.
But fuck jokes.
I'll use reality to show
that they're lame. The joke would be you probably
need two seats whenever you sit on an airplane.
The reality would be if you sat
next to me on an airplane, it wouldn't ruin
my night. It wouldn't ruin my flight.
It would ruin my life.
my knives, it wouldn't ruin my flight,
it would ruin my life.
You're really enjoying those, aren't you, Adam?
There's something, this does something to you.
There's real, like, pleasure in his little yeti eyes.
I mean, it's a tight, nice little package,
but I promise this is all real. You are inconvenient to be around.
How awful does that feel?
Oh my God.
It's really basic,
but the only time he's creative
is making tacos with ice cream
as the fucking meat replacement.
He's got a million ways to sweeten cakes,
but not one way to lean his face in.
Oh, there's room for cheese and bacon,
but let me guess,
the greens were taken,
but people treat it like it's a disease,
a sickness to be mediated, misleading the media from the media to people treat it like it's a disease, a sickness to be mediated,
misleading the media from the media
to deviate it like it's fat shaming.
And I can't take it
because I'm trying to decrease your weight
and that benefits you
so you could show some appreciation.
I mean, the fact that your fats
say so much about you as a man,
no long-term goals, no perseverance,
you can't stick to a plan.
You only care about yourself.
You're stuck in your selfish wage
and none of your family members care enough about you to help you change. But they say big T's the man You can't stick to a plan. You only care about yourself. You're stuck in your selfish wage,
and none of your family members care enough about you to help you change.
But they say, big T's the man.
Like, that'll help him magically.
Of course you're the man.
You have to be.
You have to be cool or funny just to get an advantage.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have a single friend on this planet.
I mean, fat people make less money.
They get promoted less.
They're more likely to be alone or to suffer an early death and i get pissed because you're because you have kids and your children are
going to grow and it's a tragedy because being fat is all that they'll ever know when your daughter
was born you probably weighed 355 pounds if you walked a mile a day since then you'd be skinny by now my god hey it's fucking unreal go and watch it that did he just like it feels like
the writing process there was like yeah i'm not just gonna i'm gonna do some jokes about it i'm
gonna do some rhyming and then he just got himself so fucking annoyed he was like no i'm literally
gonna just explain why being fat is so... It just stopped being...
It got just brutal.
At the top level, which is what that is,
battle rappers are like,
oh, you're just making fat jokes.
So they have to make it really personal.
He's been called fat in every battle he's done.
How being fat determines his personality,
that's to a whole new level.
Oh my God.
Talking about his daughter
you're like
so the link is available to go
and watch that
I'll tweet it later after the episode goes on
and even after everything Adam
just said I
still want dominoes for tea
I still want dominoes
and that's fine isn't it
there's nothing wrong with getting fat,
as long as you just...
Your attitude should be,
I'm fat, I'm happy,
fuck off and leave me alone.
Not, I'm fat and happy,
so you should be fat as well.

It must be Have A Word with Adam and Dave.
We got an email from Peter Ronnie Williams,
who has messaged before about nicknames.
Hi, DJ Nitros and the Yeti.
By the way, brilliant tag team name.
As I said in a previous email,
I listen to the pod every day while I'm at work
and I'm totally on board with you cutting back the episodes
to keep the content fresh and keep the quality as amazing as it is currently.
Well, that is appreciated because that decision was not taken lightly, Peter.
So it's great when someone says something like that um i was
wondering if you could do a top five of your favorite other podcasts comedy or other that
your listeners may enjoy so what he's saying is he's cutting down his pod listening because we're
cutting down our content from next monday onwards what other podcasts can we recommend i don't we
don't need to do a top five,
but what other comedy podcasts
or other podcasts do you listen to?
What do you recommend?
My favourite podcast is The Parapod.
Yeah.
Like, Barry Dodds and Ian Boldsworth
formerly was known as Ray Peacock
as a stage name,
but now goes under his real name,
which is Ian Boldsworth.
Which wasn't a rape joke. No. It wasn't. It was just his stage name, but now goes under his real name, which is Ian Boldsworth. Which wasn't a rape joke.
No. It wasn't.
It was just his stage name.
It was just a stage name, yeah.
Anyway.
And Barry Dodds, which isn't
a stage name, it's his fucking name.
I was listening to it last night as I fell asleep, and
Jade told me off because I kept laughing.
I'm waking her up.
The Parapod's amazing. I love that.
Your Mom's House with Tom Segura and Christina P
is also very funny if you like the American ones.
That's my current favourite podcast comedy-wise.
Definitely.
If you're a fan of Bill Bear, then his podcast is great.
But I'd go and watch his stand-up and get to know him as a comic
before you got into that.
Like, I love Bill Burr.
I listened to the podcast for about six months a year,
and then I tapped out.
The podcast is him monologuing every Monday morning,
and it's for the pure it's not, it's for
the purist, I think it's for the real Bill Burr
fan and it's still, if you love him
and you like that podcast but it's
not the same, he's not got someone on
there, does occasionally have guests
but it's him, just fuck him
and I don't think many comics can do
what he does but it was
not for me, I prefer the conversational
stuff. I do the conversational stuff.
I do love Bill Bear's podcast,
to be fair.
I think it's great.
But you do have to be a massive Bill Bear fan.
And then Joe Rogan,
although it's become almost cool
to think his podcast is shit
for some reason,
Rogan's got some of the most
amazing guests in the world.
And if there's someone
really, really interesting,
he's almost certainly got an episode with them
so he's done an interview with Edward Snowden
like the
WikiLeaks whistleblower
there's so many amazing interviews
on the Joe Rogan podcast
say that again?
Elon Musk
great episode, Bernie Sanders has been
on it
he has his comedian mates on but then he has basically people from neuroscience, people Elon Musk that's a great episode Bernie Sanders has been on it it's um
he has his comedian
mates on
but then he has
basically people
from neuroscience
people from
like
medical science
people from
political science
it's so interesting
like nutrition
hunting
if there's
if you
you can't listen to one
and go oh I like
Joe Rogan's podcast
some people don't
listen to the comedy ones like
paul smith our mate from hot water doesn't like the comedian ones he's like mate i can talk to
my fucking comedian mates if i want to hear that i want to hear like i want to hear the insight
about science and and food and and politics and uh yeah it's it's totally varied and very long
form like it's two three hours long very regularly three hours long
and if you like i don't give a fuck comedy comedy that they're just like i'd describe it as like
whatsapp group comedy so the type of stuff you wouldn't sort of see on the telly or even often
on the internet and just the most ridiculous first, offensive things that your mates might say in a WhatsApp group.
Andrew Schultz has got a podcast called Flagrant 2.
Now, it's the eighth biggest Patreon membership on the planet.
Flagrant 2.
There's like seven and a half thousand people on their Patreon.
And it's that way for a reason.
It's because Andrew Schultz has found his market.
He's found his fans.
And it's come from that podcast.
Him and another comic, his colleague, Akash Singh,
it's those two.
And they've got a producer in the background called Alex Media.
And they will just talk about the topics of the day,
current events and stuff,
and they just say the most ridiculous, funny things they can
without trying to toe the line.
They're deliberately stepping over the line
and I'm all for it.
I think it's fucking great.
Yeah.
I've never heard that one.
Andrew Santino and Bobby Lee have got a podcast called Bad Friends
that launched about
two months ago and andrew santino is a guy that i i found out about through uh the rogan podcast
he's brilliant on one of my favorites on on rogan he's he's on about two months and he supports him
on his tours i found out about santino and theo Vaughn at the same time, about a year ago.
Theo Vaughn's got a really good comedy podcast
called This Past Weekend.
But Santino's got one called Whiskey and Ginger,
and one of the best episodes on it
is him and Bobby Lee.
You might recognise Bobby Lee from sitcoms,
American sitcoms.
He's like a Korean guy,
a Korean-American, and they do what me and Adam have been doing. Like it's very similar vibe of just talking about what's
going on and then ripping the shit out of each other and then ripping the shit out about anything
they're talking about. That's really good. The rest of the podcasts I listen to are basically NFL podcasts. So unless you're mad into the NFL history extra by the BBC randomly,
if I really want to change your pay,
because sometimes with sport and comedy,
you just want something else.
You want a different frequency to listen to the history,
extra podcast,
just tweak some little bit of history geekery in me.
Have you got another podcast that you like that isn't comedy or sport?
Do you listen to anything?
Just change the tone.
It seems almost silly to mention it because I think it's officially the most successful podcast of all time.
It's Serial.
Have you listened to Serial?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love it.
I really love crime stuff and court cases and looking at how the police handle stuff.
Serial, I became obsessed with it
i've listened to the whole the first series about um adnan syed is the one i'm talking about the
second one i wasn't really into but the first it was good though it was good it was still good
second series and the third one was good that first season was something special though yeah
it's unbelievable i've listened to that first series 10, 11, 12 times.
And then there's a spin-off podcast
called Undisclosed,
which is not as well packaged as Serial.
So Serial is looking,
for those who haven't heard about it,
is listening,
it's about a guy who was accused
of murdering his girlfriend
in Baltimore,
and he's been in prison for it ever since.
And it's about that and how the police handled it
and the evidence and whether he's guilty or not and whatever.
But there's a lot of stuff that gets missed out by Serial
because it doesn't fit the narrative of the storytelling of the podcast,
a lot of other stuff, and all
of that is in Undisclosed.
It's not as easy
to listen to, but if you listen to
Series 1 of Serial and you become as
obsessed with that case as I did,
Undisclosed is also amazing.
And Undisclosed is done
by, I forget her name, but she's
someone who is actually
on the Serial podcast. It's someone who knows Adnan Syed. She's a lawyer. I forget her name, but she's someone who is actually on the Serial podcast. It's someone who knows
Adnan Syed. She's a lawyer. I forget her
name. It's very
on point, isn't it? Because they sort of
that podcast, you might be
thinking, God, it sounds really heavy, but
if you're into the Netflix
crime dramas,
it's very, very well
produced. That first season particularly,
it's fucking... I enjoyed listening to Serial more than I enjoyed watching Making a Murderer.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, actually, I forgot about Serial when we were doing the...
When I was going through this,
just sort of preemptively deciding what I'd say.
I totally forgot about Serial.
Oh, All Killer, No Filler. My mate about cereal. Oh, All Killer No Filler.
My mate Kiri's got All Killer No Filler.
Talking about crime.
Her and Rachel Fairbairn.
I think we've mentioned them on the podcast before.
Kiri's a good mate of mine.
I've never listened to it.
I've never listened to the Parapod.
Because, honestly, it's so stubborn of me.
But because Barry's one of my best mates in stand-up,
I've never got round to...
You know why?
Because in my head, I'm like,
oh, shit, I'm not that into Ghost,
but I bet that's ridiculous, innit?
You really don't have to be.
No.
You do not have to be.
It's so fucking funny.
Do you want to do a couple of would-you-rathers
just to change the tone a little bit?
Oh, yes, mate.
Listen.
Yes, I do.
I am going to extend an olive branch here
because we have a listener called Daniel Pugh
and he has been throwing a lot of shit against the wall.
And when I say that, I mean in terms of attempted content,
he is not shy about going,
I think this one, let's see.
And we've actually done a few of his suggestions before.
I'm going to do two Would you rathers from uh daniel pew you can just go for it if you want would you rather every time you have a wank you come all over your own face okay can't by the way
there's a little caveat you can't say i'd w standing up, because only psychopaths do that. Or, you'll just lose an inch of your dick.
You'll lose an inch right now, but you get to crack one out normally for the rest of your days.
Or, you keep that inch, you're keeping the yellow, the supposed row yellow.
Can I just go and ask Jade if she'd be happy with just six and a half inches before I answer?
Oh, fucking hell. Why don't you ask the unicorn if it'll make you tea while you're there?
You fucking length rat.
Do you never wank standing up?
Yeah, sometimes.
Sometimes, on an away day.
Like if you're at work or something when you used to work
oh god sometimes i have and it instantly feels more fucking sexually aggressive done it like
like when you're lying down you're like i'm a gentleman i like to pleasure myself bedtime
snoozy snooze away to the wanky land of dreams
stood up
you're like
get me down
I know I've mentioned
before that I do
whack off in front of
Jade sometimes
but sometimes
I'm just not in the mood
to do that
to be on display
so if she's in the bedroom
and I can't be arse
bringing up
I'm going to have a wank
or whatever
I'll just go to the toilet
and just stand up
over the toilet bowl
and then there's always
that awkward bit
at the end
where your dick's pointing up but you're about to come and you're trying to aim into the toilet bowl and then there's always that awkward bit at the end where your dick's pointing up
but you're about to come and you're trying to aim it into the toilet bowl
so you have to bend your whole body
like a contortionist
to aim it into the toilet bowl
which is never ideal
I have never jizzed into the toilet in my life
you know
I jizz into the basin
the sink?
yeah
and I just thought that's what everyone did No. I jizz into the basin. The sink? Yeah.
And I just thought that's what everyone did.
But now I'm thinking about it.
I hope Laura never hears this. She's going to in about a week and a half.
Jade's just seconding me there.
Is that true?
No!
It is.
It is, everyone.
He's nodding.
He's nodding. He's nodding.
Where did they think?
I remember being at college once,
and there was this really pretty girl,
and she was like,
where can I ask a question?
It was like straight out of Christian Union.
You talk about this sort of stuff,
but when you wank yourself,
you know when someone's using the wrong terminology?
It's like, when you wank yourself,
where do you aim? Do you aim for your mouth she literally thought we were
like oh what am i gonna do with this ah i was like no you're fucking lunatic i mean it's not
much better what we do just like on the belly wipe it up but don't fucking aim for your mouth
like well i couldn't possibly clean this up any other way
trying to catch it like
someone's throwing a Malteser from the other side
of the room
you fucking horror
get back to Jesus
der Skarstein
what would you rather do? I can't lose an inch
I don't know
I just have to not wank I can't lose an inch I just have to not wank
I can't lose an inch
I am not
in a position
to lose an inch
I'm at a working level here
I can't lose any
what if it was half an inch
half an inch
I don't know
I'm down
I'm down at five I can't go lower
I can't go lower
I honestly think I've got a five inch
I really think
so I'm
I just have to abstain
go on
you move to Korea
you're going to be the boss?
Oh, yeah.
Be the big daddy.
Oh, it's so big.
You know, not a lot of people are moving to North Korea.
I don't know if you know about international immigration,
but that's not a traditional act.
Chester's nice.
West Cheshire, it's got a lot of things going on,
but I really fancy North Korea,
make our money go that little bit further.
I've got a mate of mine, I think, who lives in North Korea.
Not Carl, who lives in Japan.
I'm not getting Japan and Korea confused.
But I think I know someone who lives in North Korea.
Doing what?
Are you sure it's North Korea?
I don't know.
I don't think North Korea have a load of immigrants.
I don't think anyone's allowed to leave or enter, basically.
I think that's...
Yeah, do you mean South Korea?
No, I'm pretty sure it's North.
Right. It's exciting, isn't it?
Is he a spy? Because let's hope
Kim Jong and all his fucking cronies
don't listen to this shit.
He's undercover, lad.
Yeah, just here to do some fucking work, lad.
No, they do.
They do have
economic migration.
Do they?
Yeah.
So you can go and work in North Korea.
Where would you go?
Slightly left field.
Adam, you've got to leave the country for whatever reason.
I mean, we all know what it would be.
Nonsense.
What?
Where would you go?
And you can't go English.
Hey, where would you emigrate to?
Can't go English speaking. You've got to emigrate to? Can't go English-speaking.
You've got to move to a foreign
country. Out of Europe, let's get
out of the continent. International,
lads. Where would you go?
French Canada.
French Canada.
French Canada.
French Canada.
Oh, brilliant. I want to be a Canadian
from Canadians.
Oh,
fuck.
What about just France?
Tony over there,
isn't he?
I could pick up France.
No,
but that is in Europe,
isn't it?
I said out of Europe,
where would you go?
Also,
out of Europe.
Yeah,
you've got to go out of Europe
and Canada's a,
you can't go to French Canada
because that is an English speaking country
in the main,
isn't it?
It's like the first language.
Botswana.
Botswana!
What the fuck?
You just literally picked the name of a country out of your head.
It would be good, though, wouldn't it?
You'd be the biggest name in fucking stand-up in Botswana.
Fast or Pigs. Fast or Pigs. biggest name in fucking stand-up in Botswana. Faster pigs.
Faster pigs.
Gonna steal MC Africa Zulu's fucking act.
He was like,
holy shit,
he's doing Nigerian material.
Thieving bastard.
I go,
I go Thailand for the kids.
It's jokes now.
Is it Steve Harris?
I think I've done Steve Harris' material.
Steve, love you.
Thailand would be a good one, innit?
Or like the Philippines.
Just paradise.
Yeah, am I the only one that thinks Thailand's a bit hacky?
Like, I'm just...
I'm not trying to sound like the tourist version of Danny Mac.
Like, oh no, don't go to Thailand.
Everybody fucking goes to Thailand Thailand go to Uzbekistan
like an alternative
but I reckon
Malaysia or something
something a bit less like Cambodia or Vietnam
you can't go to Cambodia
can I not why not
it's locked off innit
what the fuck you just told me I can go to North Korea
and now you're chopping off Cambodia?
Yeah, Cambodia.
You're not allowed in.
On what grounds?
What?
What are you talking about?
You just told me I can go to North Korea,
and I can't go to Cambodia.
Yeah.
Mate.
Talking bullshit.
I'm not talking bullshit.
The Communist Republic of North Korea
is letting everyone in like,
all right, yeah, come over, work in the bars, work down the beach,
and Cambodia you can't.
Yeah.
Right, we're coming back to that.
I'm literally writing that shit down.
If anyone knows that's bullshit, I'm sure you can go to Cambodia.
Why can't you go to Cambodia?
They've locked it off.
For what?
They said no more.
We're full.
They've gone all they've all gone
Cambodian Defence League
CDL
CDL
yeah
okay now
that was a weird one
that was wanking
that ended up into
international politics
he's also put
alright Aaron and Dan
what's going on
would you rather
be a grass
or get bummed
be a grass
oh
that's interesting
I do
I can't stress the degree
to which I don't want
to be bummed
I honestly thought
you were going to go
so scouse there
go I'd rather take
a fucking dick up my ass than be a fucking grass I thought you were going to go so scouse there, go, I'd rather take a fucking dick up my ass
than be a fucking grass.
I thought you were going to go proper, like,
fucking purple bin lid.
I'd grass now on someone who deserves grassing on.
Right.
I just wouldn't grass for no reason.
What deserves grassing?
Come on, give me the categories.
What's grassworthy?
Right, so Jade's a grass
like a proper one
yeah
and um
we were driving towards
uh
the house of someone we know
a while back
nice and vague
like it
and
it was snowing
and next door
to their house
their roof had no snow on
which means they're probably growing weed in the attic and the heat off the stuff next door to their house, their roof had no snow on,
which means they're probably growing weed in the attic and the heat off the stuff to grow the weed melts the snow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I was like, oh, look at that.
She was like, what do you mean?
I was like, that means they're growing weed in the attic.
She's like, oh, well, I'm telling the police.
And I was like, you're fucking not.
Because that's just someone trying to make a little crop,
sell a bit of weed, put the kids through college a nice honest scouse businessman okay i wouldn't
grass on them but if i seen some fucking knobhead robbing the chinese chippy with a gun and i knew
it was i'd grass him up right right i love it how you made that the chippy as well it wasn't just a robber it was
someone close to your heart he's doing an arm fucking robbery not just like someone who deserves
it like a bank or a fucking nursery right mate if you're doing an arm robbery and you're stood
with a gun in a nursery you've really fucked up right i need two packs of pampers and some fucking rusks
and anything out the tilt
there isn't any tilt
shit
I'll have two of them kids
throw the fucking kids in the back
I'll sell them to Cambodia
Cambodia's full
I'll fuck off
you don't know what you're on about
I love it how you said
the Chinese chippy
you cannot
mate
Adam had grass on someone
stealing a fork
from that fucking chippy
no the forks are free leave them on the counter you can take them what mate Mate, Adam had grass on someone stealing a fork from that fucking chippy.
No, the forks are free.
Leave them on the counter.
You can take them.
What?
Mate, what the fuck is Jade on about?
Why does she mind about weed?
Weed's not the bad drug.
Weed's the fun drug.
I don't even smoke it.
Leave them alone.
She did a module on it when she did a criminology course or something, and she's like, actually, well, there's a link between weed
and being a knobhead when you're
12 so bore off that's the first time i've strongly disagreed with your missus usually when you're
like rallying against her i'm like i can see her point i'm dead against that one i'm not even a
weed smoker but fuck off mary poppins leave leave them alone what about if someone was rona rona
curfew breaking?
What would you do then?
Would you grass on that?
Where's your...
I want to find your grass line.
I want to find your grass line.
I'm getting to the point now
where I totally understand
people breaking the curfew.
And look,
we've got a platform here
and I'm not encouraging it.
I'm not saying
we should all just tell the government
to fuck off and get on
with whatever we want.
But people are going slowly fucking round the fucking bend and i'm getting less and less judgy about people
doing that yeah a month and a month and a month a month and ago a month ago i was getting pissed
off and now i'm like i just think i think there's got to be a bit of give and take and we had someone
emailing last time we talked about the shutdown being released
and quite vehemently said, mate, there can't be a release from the shutdown.
There's going to be a huge other spike.
I don't think, I think, honestly.
I think that email though, I want to address that.
I think that email, I think he misunderstood what we were doing last time.
And I think he thought we were calling for the lockdown to be eased like now.
And that's not what we were doing.
We were just commentating on what we believe current public opinion to be and how it's changing.
And just if it was the light at the end of the tunnel, wasn't it?
There has to be now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And like, even now I'm saying I understand people flouting the rules.
I do understand it.
I'm not saying they're right.
I'm saying I understand it. And I'm not
saying the government should come out and go, right, lockdown's
over. Because I don't know enough about
it because I'm not an epidemiologist.
You're not. I don't think you are.
I'm not
an epidemiologist.
I'm not.
I'm not.
So I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know what should be done.
I just know that the government needs to communicate with us a bit more
about when things are going to change a little bit
because people need a bit of fucking hope at the minute
because a lot of people are feeling hopeless.
That's all I'm saying.
But next door neighbours,
so next door neighbours,
they've got like the mum and the dad round and the kids.
You're like, do you know what?
It's not ideal.
It's not the rules, but I'm not grassing.
No, I wouldn't grass that up.
Next door neighbours, they play in
a fucking Sunday league team.
They get the lads round and their missus is the 20-odd.
25 people in the house.
Having a beverage, not too loud.
Are you grassing that? No.
Full-on Project X.
250 people. Fucking DJs. That's's gotta get grassed up on it adam that's
you come on mate
that's even worse that's like at school i tell you who everyone will be in detention the people
fighting and the people egging them on, which is worse. That's like
that, isn't it? Like, oh, I'm not fucking grassing.
Jade, you fucking grass.
And, do you remember at Christmas when it snowed?
There was no fucking, there was no snow
on them fucking roofs.
Eh? Eh?
Keeping fucking
rats in their fucking
attic.
There's a rat in me attic, what am I gonna do? There's a rat in me attic, what am I
gonna do?
There's a rat in me attic, what am I gonna do?
It was interesting, that. Interesting.
Where is Adam's grass line?
Shall we have a word from our
sponsors?
We can do, if you fucking
want. Alright, Grumpy.

saying Harry little Vinny who did the vocals,
is it Matt P. Williams?
And Harry was like, I asked him for who I should give the full shout out to,

I'm a composer and a songwriter.
I'm putting that in my Twitter bio.
Comedian, podcaster, songwriter.

Trying to do the whole alphabet
Stop it
Alright lads
Disgusting
Alright lads
Short and sweet
But can you have a word with anyone
That sends the same story
or would you rather into more than one podcast?
I've heard more than one story, would you rather,
on both yours and the podcast by Chris and Rosie Ramsey,
Shag Married and Annoyed.
Someone is being a little fucking lat about this one, Adam.
So Liam Curry has heard it on more than one podcast.
Someone's doing it, I think, for their own
entertainment to see if they can get stories
and would-you-rathers and whatnot
on different podcasts. And although they're funny,
this is what Liam said, although they're funny,
it sounds almost like a comedian
stealing another comedian's jokes.
I know you'd fucking hate to be accused of doing
any shit like that, so please have a word
with these whoppers.
Yeah.
That sounds a bit passive-aggressive at the end, doesn't it?
I know you'd hate to be accused of doing this,
so I'm sure you'll want to resolve it as quick as...
Fuck you, Liam.
It definitely sounds passive-aggressive
if you reread it with the tone that you just employed.
Yeah, that's how I read it this is this is amazing this is why tone and sending texts that are
important is difficult like i know you'd fucking hate to be accused of doing any shit like that so
please have a word with these whoppers like i don't i'm not so sure that's what liam meant
but yeah if you are for your own fucking fun and games,
sending multi...
It's just, what are you doing?
What are you fucking doing?
We need as much fucking content as possible.
Yeah, but then...
I'm telling you right now,
Chris and Rosie's podcast is bigger than this one.
They do more downloads.
They're selling out fucking arenas with the shit.
And we'll be there in a few years.
But for now, if you're going to make people pick
between sending them to them or us
we're going to lose a lot of fucking contributions
no, I don't give a shit
I don't listen to their podcast, I'm sure it's great
I'm blissfully unaware of it
keep sending in whatever the fuck you want
to us and you can send that way
whatever you like as well
I like it
Adam, I really didn't expect you to take that tack
I thought you'd be like, yeah, you fucking pissed me right off.
Adam's like, just send it.
Send the fucking lot and stop being a fucking grass liam.
Yeah.
I mean, probably don't send us the shit for the parapod.
Like, I've seen a ghost, because I'm not sure we're going to do it.
Yeah, I've seen a ghost, and I'm probably sure the curtains were blue
and I fucking saw one. But what do you think, Barry? Yeah, I think it's fucking probably a ghost, like, and I'm probably sure like the curtains were blueing and I fucking saw one.
But what do you think, Barry? Yeah, I think
it's fucking probably a ghost.
That's how I imagine
the par... Is that the parapod? I'm pretty sure that's the
parapod. It's not a million
miles away.
And Ray being like,
Ian Bowles will be like, oh, it's not a fucking ghost,
it's a fucking curtain.
And ram, ram, ram, ram, ram, oh, it's not the fucking house, it's the fucking curtains. I'm... I'm...
I'm...
I'm almost sure it's fucking not.
I'm...
Now this is
a slightly tense one.
I am interested to see what Adam thinks
of this. First time I've done the have a words
alright Adam and the ball bloke
who used to present the gadget show
touche
I've had it before
Stone Cold Steve from Accounts
Stone Cold Steve
I'm taking you to the industrial tribunal
can you have a word with my pal sam for us me and sam have been
mates for years i've had a word myself he's a liverpool fan maybe a proper scouse red might
have some effect so basically he's hoping that hearing this from you adam is going to help me
and sam are from a nice ish town outside of Birmingham.
Sam is the son of a hardworking businessman who has become a millionaire.
And Sam's basically got whatever he's ever asked for.
His old man bought him his first house.
That's the level we're talking about.
My trouble isn't with that.
But when Sam is on social media,
he portrays himself as the second coming of Karl Marx and gets pissy about people who don't
share the same viewpoint as himself. I know the public services are underfunded however maybe if
he'd had to do a day's graft in his fucking life he might understand the value of money and why
people might have a different view to himself and want to keep their wages. Have a word with him to
stop pretending he's something he's not as let's be honest he's a closet tory who always got his old man to fall back on and he needs to get off
his left-wing political hype train cheers lids from ben ben can suck my dick
i fucking love it so you're not you're not you're not taking
you're not having a word
with Sam
you're having
you're having a word
with Ben
who wrote the email
Ben's a knobhead
go on Adam
riff brother
he's a fucking
tit
okay
now
you've got Adam
at the wrong mood
with this shit
go on mate
go on
what's his mate's name
Sam
Sam
Sam's the dad
got the dad
who's a millionaire
right
so they're both from the same area
and what Ben seems to be pissed
off with is that
because Ben's quite clearly a Tory.
Right. He hasn't said it
but he is. Because he's saying
you know some people just want to keep the wages.
Don't want to give it to the government. You know fund
the National Health Service or anything else.
Blah blah blah. Ben's a Tory.
He hasn't said it. You're paraphrasing.
You're definitely adding to it.
But go, go, go, go.
Go.
Sam.
Now, look, Sam's not completely innocent
because I am fucking bored.
I consider myself very left wing,
very, very left wing on 99% of things.
Socialist ideals, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Sam sounds to me, based on the information we've got,
although I imagine it's quite biased coming from this Tory bellend,
I reckon Sam is the type of person who's like,
no, this is how things are, and if you don't agree with me,
then I'm going to block you because you're a knobhead.
There's loads of them on the left-wing side of the political spectrum,
and they do me fucking head in. That lad Owen Jones, he's like a very prominent socialist
left-wing political commentator.
He makes a lot of good points, and then every now and then
he just says something that makes me think,
oh, you're the reason that the Tories keep getting in,
because everyone on the centre-right thinks we're all like fucking you
and can't understand the difference between A and B.
Prick.
So if Sam's being like that and he's all,
no, my opinion's right and that,
and he doesn't consider anyone else's point of view,
then yeah, I'll have a word with him about that.
You need to learn to have a debate
and discuss why certain people think another way.
I don't want another 20 years of a Conservative government
and unless the left start listening
to why people in the centre ground
have started to vote for the right, we're never
going to get back in power, never going to happen
so people like Sam are a problem
in that sense, but
Ben, you little fucking pube, okay
oh Ben
it sounds to me
like Ben is accusing Sam of being a champagne
socialist, which is such a boring
fucking insult.
What he's saying is just because Sam's dad has got a bit of money
that Sam cannot have socialist opinions or left-wing opinions.
It's bullshit, okay?
I'm not the type of left-wing person who's completely against capitalism.
I don't necessarily think that a completely socialist society
is one that can ever really survive for a very long period of time. There's no perfect economic system.
Capitalism isn't a perfect one, but it's the one that we've got. And if you work all of your life
to become a millionaire, and then you can afford to buy your children a house, I'd love to be in
that position one day. But I'd also like to pass on my left-wing socialist beliefs to my children
and go, look, I've bought you a house.
Here you go.
I love you.
Here's a good start in your life,
but don't let this make you become a prick.
What better is asking Sam to do is go,
oh, well, my dad's got loads of money,
so fuck everyone else.
I don't want to.
I think we should all just keep our money.
You know, we should try and do this.
The NHS being underfunded doesn't matter,
and we're fucking booper, mate.
It doesn't fucking work like that.
You can have money in your
background. Your parents can have money that you can
fall back on and still be a person
who believes that we need to pay in
to the public person so that everyone
has got a decent chance at a decent life.
Ben, suck me dick.
Mate, the timing of that was beautiful
it was a combination of Adam's
mood, the end of the podcast
and that email
that was just amazing
that was like just pushing a little snowball
at the top of a hill and then just
watching a whole village get fucked off by a massive
like
huge avalanche
I mean I think off by a massive like huge avalanche i mean to be i think i think if sam is being a pious
cunt and he's on twitter pretending to be like a a dyed in the wool hardcore almost communist like
hard socialist and really he's he's he's portraying a false setup then that is bullshit and i get
ben's point because he's obviously his mate but he's like mate i'm fucking bored of you taking
the moral high ground when you're comfy as fuck but there is a very inverted snobbery about the
working class hating a person who has wealth that's no fault of their own because it's it's very short-sighted
like if it was the other way around ben wouldn't be like well i'm giving up this house because i'm
a tory or whatever i'm a socialist like it's an inverted snobbery just like people despise
the wealthy looking down at the poor to then invert that and be like oh posh people are all cunts and like inbred like i think i think if sam is being
a hypocrite and he's on twitter and he's online and he's and he's being sort of fake then yeah
i get why ben's annoyed if sam's being a virtue signal and pile of cum and that's what a lot of
people are right if he's on on twitter talking about oh we need to do this let's fund the NHS, let's buy into
socialist values, I'm
super left wing and then he's going home
and he's on voting day, he's voting Tory
and it's all just for likes and retweets
and aren't I a good person but really he wants
to keep all his fucking money and daddy will look after
me, if he's that person
then yeah, fuck him off, Ben's right
he's an absolute knobhead but I don't think
he is, I think what's happening here is Ben's right he's an absolute knobhead, but I don't think he is
I think what's happening here
is Ben's a little tawny, he feels fucking
guilty for the fact that he is one, and the fact that
his mate, who is actually in a much better position
than him, can still find the
moral virtue
within him to be, do you know what, no
I think we should do things this way
he's jealous of the
humanity that his friend has got
that's what
this email sounds like to me yeah i think you're always going to get criticized if you uh are going
to a labor party meeting and you ride a poor person there that's always going to look badly
how did you get here thomas oh actually i just wrote i wrote a poor person it's really it's
the only way to travel anyway how do we do we fix the NHS and social housing?
Well, Adam, I love that, that little, little fire under you.
I'm sort of feeling responsible for now handing you back to Jade because you are in a tempestuous little mood.
I don't think I'm going to go and see Jade.
I think I'm going to go and have a wank and a sandwich
and then I'll feel a bit better.
Do it stood up, you little fucking yeti.
The song today is from Rivet City.
We've had Rivet City on before.
They've got a video coming out on Tuesday.
Check them out on Twitter,
at Rivet City Band.
This is called Spare the Master.
It's cool as fuck.
Adam, I've done the whole fucking episode.
Look at that.
I've done the music.
That's the first time I've ever introduced the song.
Hope our listeners enjoyed the energy I brought today.
And I'll try and have a slightly different one tomorrow.
Go and rob a nursery, lad.
Bye, Felicia.
Bye, Felicia. Where the castle meets the coast
Lies a crater where we trade our ass for piss hips
We drink with holy ghost
Sitting on the lip, getting wasted
Tires are piling wine
All the time we decide to numb the pain with
Is loneliness a crime?
Or other methods of deception, fear and hatred?
Pickled in brine
Time before my time
Cause there's spasms in my spine with taint threats
Sinking from the top
See I'm fired to my class
Cause the waters of the land ain't sacred
There's fiery river lefts like a rocket to my chest
Intends an occupation as a spaceman
As a spaceman, that's the master plan
Sparrowing angel
Sparrowing angel
For the meantime
Save me a place
Save me a place in the red light
Say you wanna, I don't wanna
Go there
Do you wanna, I don't wanna
Go there, go there, go there I took nightshade as a wife
Brewed a poison from the petals in my basement
The serpent in the strife
Toast my opponent's replacement
The stars they vibe and I
Sweet collude to race men But reap its sown in time
Makes sense of the mess not wasted Another tale awol from the garden made of
stones The emperor who overclocked from most ends
Walked through the lands, drowned his cities in the sands
Tousing all the peasants on the pavement In vanity and pride, yet he never broke his
stride
Once a devastation
He said he only smiled, poured the wool around his eyes
Can you spare me an angel?
Sare me an angel
For the meantime
Save me a place For the meantime, save me your face
Save me your face with the pen light
Send me to your water, I don't wanna
Go there
Go thereSay you wanna
I don't wanna
Go there
Go there
Go there
Say you wanna
Say you wanna
Say you wanna
Go there
Go there
Go there
Go thereGo there there, go there, go there
Go there, go there, go there, go there
