oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I'm big-boned. I'm heavy-structured. I'm hung low. If I pull my shit out this whole room, get dark.
Disgusting!
It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel like podcasting.
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 hiya hi hiya are you all right babe i am are you having a little bez a little bez listen listen
i am addicted to turbo shandy this has happened i've got i've got you know when people go i've
got addictive personality and they mean you know like they've done ketamine at the the daughter's christening i'm not that
level of addictive personality but once about four years ago i went through a tiramisu phase
that got so bad i had a i had a plastic spoon in my glove compartment for when i fancied tiramisu on the road and i knew that
the co-op and sainsbury's did a fucking banging tiramisu and i would buy a serve six tiramisu
eat half of it and throw half i remember once been in half a fucking massive portion of tiramisu and
there was an old lady near the bin near the sainsbury's and i had eaten it in the car park that
behaviour is now
I think it's moved on to
Turbo Shandy
Can you imagine finding that person
like remove yourself
from that situation for a minute right
and you're going back to your car
and you pull up and you get
to your car and next to your car is
a bald man
in his late 30s
chugging away at a fucking family-packed tiramisu.
Also, I wonder if you actually see the process
because it's so guilt-ridden.
Because Sainsbury's, by the way,
if you ever fancied tiramisu,
it's basically a middle-class mum's pudding, but I'm into it.
They serve little two pots for £1.60, which are two servings of tiramisu.
Let's be honest, when it says it serves two, go fuck yourself.
It serves one real person, but that's not enough.
You know when you need a little bit more?
The serve six is like £2.60. It's a bad boy.
But as soon as you eat as soon as you
bite you're like you're a dirty tiramisu pig and i there's no joy there's like me in a fucking
volvo in a car park of some like you're you're on the way to a gig you're in some west yorkshire
fucking sainsbury's car park just truffling tiramisu down and then that would be more
upsetting but then to see them throw half of it away and i don't know but that addictive that addictive tendency has now switched to
turbo shandy what day is it thursday when do we have a drink lockdown locking on saturday
i have thought about drinking turbo shandy i couldn't give a monkeys about any other alcohol
right now i think about turbo shandies I even signed up to the Beer 52.
I know this is ridiculous.
Weeks later, I've been meaning to do it for ages,
almost to break the trend of Turbo Shandy.
And I'm worried that I'm going to get...
Yeah, go on.
They send you a can of Turbo Shandy.
It's just the West Yorkshire Sainsbury's car park
all over again.
And they're like
but uh as soon as you messaged me this afternoon you went oh mate just a heads up
uh might be doing this i literally and people are working out afterwards like later on in the
podcast what we're being talked about i took that as a cue to like you're all right for a drink
like just one whatsapp message that you sent i to like you're all right for a drink like just one whatsapp message that you
sent i felt like you were going dan you're all right if you want a beer i don't know what
i don't know why i just i was looking for any validation so i've prepared a couple of different
bits to the middle bit but we can we can little bit now, actually, because it's come up naturally, hasn't it?
First of all, I've got a quick question for you
that I've just come up with.
What is, and obviously this will change sometimes,
but in general, if you had to pick,
you're at a wedding, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And someone goes, right, we're getting on it today.
We're going fucking big.
I'm going to the bar right now.
I'm getting you a beer or a cider, like a long drink, a big one, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And someone goes, right, we're getting on it today. We're going fucking big. I'm going to the bar right now. I'm getting you a beer or a cider, like a long drink, a big one, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So a table of candy would pass.
Yeah, it's the mains, isn't it?
It's the mains.
Yeah.
I'm getting you a beer.
I'm getting you a short.
You can have a mixer with that if you want it.
Love it.
And I'm getting you a shot.
So what are you having?
Well, first of all, this is going to be like a politician you know just buying for time but
i want to say great question great question um i'd just like to say to the honorable gentleman
i i do i do go to weddings i've been to weddings before i enjoy a wedding i do have a drink at a
wedding and i'm not saying that you know that we can't play these games and we
can't move on. I just think it is not really
the time of day with me sitting here
with Trevor Shandy to maybe discuss what
shot I would have because I will then want one
as soon as the podcast is over.
Before I answer the
question, let me say I
will defend the right
for the British voter
to drink three different types of drink at a wedding till my dying breath.
So, can I just, I need to qualify, I need a caveat.
This is, we've just got to the wedding, 2pm, 4pm service, whatever, do you know what I mean?
It's the first drink, innit?
You start, I'm not rolling in, it's not a rolling start, this is from a static start, innit? First drink in it. You start, I'm not, I'm not rolling in.
It's not a rolling start.
This is from a static start in it.
First drink,
right.
So you're saying,
let's get it going from,
is it right?
Okay.
Let's start with a long drink,
Adam.
It's important.
I wouldn't do Turbo Shandy until this lockdown,
until this podcast,
I wouldn't have done Turbo Shandy.
I think it's a bit lavish and it's, it's going to be painful because you're going to get to some places if you get addicted to this shit and
you want to drink it out they're not going to be able to do it you've got to take that into account
like my friend claire who goes to work in men clubs and goes have you got like cranberry um
sliced with pomegranate vodka and they're like fuck off love we've got misery in the glass
you need to play the room don't you so go, this is not going to get me any fans,
a pint of lager top.
I like a pint of lager, and I'm fine with cooking lager,
can't stand Fosters, Carlsberg, Carlin, all of that shebang,
just with a little dash of lemonade in the top.
It's 2pm of an afternoon, I want to still be dancing at 10, a little dash of lemonade, that top it's 2 p.m of an afternoon i want to still be dancing at 10
a little dash of lemonade that's my pint of choice is that how's that going down for you adam that's
fine i mean the bar that you're coming to where i'm serving you and that actually that drink's
actually on special offer with them and it comes with a free date with a man so
wonderful homophobia.
I'm sure we all enjoyed that.
Lovely, lovely.
Let's get through this lockdown with hating minorities.
Go on, go on.
Can I just say, like, that whole thing of if you like a shandy or a lager top,
you're a fucking gay, right, is such a fucking stupid stereotype
because the people on this planet
who can out-drink any
fucking cunt on the planet
are the gays. They drink
fucking harder, longer
and stronger than any
fucking straight man I know.
When I used to go clubbing,
if you go clubbing in Manchester
when I went clubbing in Manchester
and you like to get on it and stay out as late as possible
because all your mates who are actually your mates are like,
oh, but it's 6am, we just need to go home.
And you're like, no, but I'm wired, where else are we going?
You ended up hanging out with gay people because the gay village went on till Thursday.
The night out started Friday, people were still going Wednesday morning.
Mate, the gays drink drugs that's how they ghb is basically
the date rate job drug and some of the gay people i ended up hanging out with like you know it's
no don't know you don't love laws don't want to go just have a little bit i was at a couple of
parties where i was like people were drinking gh, which is essentially Rohypnol,
just diluted Rohypnol.
Rohypnol on themselves.
So you take too much, you're out, right?
So you've basically just conked yourself out.
You take a bit.
So if you're high as a kite,
you've had pills, you've had coke,
you can't drink past a certain point.
It's like, it's almost like, you know,
just like if you, you know, just like,
if you, you know, on Shrove Tuesday
when you have like lemons in the little
squeezy bottle.
On what day? Is it Shrove Tuesday? What do I mean?
Pancake. What's Pancake Day?
It's Pancake Day. That's what
we will always call it on this podcast.
It's on Pancake Day. Shrove Tuesday.
No, let's not just move past that.
As if you haven't just outed yourself as a Tory middle class nonce. Shrove Tuesday. No, let's not just move past that. As if you haven't just outed yourself as a Tory middle-class nonce.
Shrove Tuesday.
Nobody in the history of Liverpool has ever called it that.
And you're trying to become an honorary scouter.
Don't ever say that again.
It's fucking Pancake Day.
And you have to say that again.
So start this story again and say fucking Pancake Day.
Right.
Fucking Pancake Day. But basically basically if you're high as a if you're off
your noodle late on you can't be like i'll just take the edge off by drinking sometimes that's
fucking it's like literally drinking it's bitter it's weird but ghb which is essentially rohypnol
if you have a little bit of it it's all fuzzy and it makes you feel like a little bit drunk.
So when people are like, yeah, the gays know how to drink,
mate, the gays know.
I mean, the gays who really go out,
they know how to drink, then do drugs,
and then do a drug that makes them feel like they've been drinking.
That's how much they drink.
So the whole Lager Top thing,
oh, fucking Southern Shandy drinking,
fucking, like, I like a top. I like a top. Do you, fucking Southern Shandy drinking fucking...
Like, I like a top.
I like a top.
Do you know when I was a bit younger...
And a cock in my arse.
I don't know what I mean.
You know what I mean?
You drink the GHB.
You're like, oh my God, I've been date raped.
But it's fine.
It's self-abuse.
All right.
That's how I met Graham.
What?
When I was a bit younger,
my dad was worried I was on drugs for a bit
because, like, I'm so bad as a drinker.
Once I start, I don't want to stop.
Certainly when I was younger, I was a lot worse for this.
Before I was with Jade, I would go out and I would stay out
until someone told me, we can't give you any more.
Get out of our club. Stop pissing in the corner in that pint glass.
Stop doing whatever.
I will stay out
until 9 o'clock in the morning.
You've ruined the christen.
Nana's dead, Adam.
When will you stop
drinking?
This is true. Christen's tend to happen at
11 o'clock in the morning, don't they?
Then you go to the christen party about 12. I once went on a night out on Saturday and went straight to the christenings tend to happen at like 11 o'clock in the morning, don't they? And then you go to the christening party about 12.
I once went on a night out on Saturday and went straight to the christening.
Right?
And I hadn't done any drugs.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just pissed.
What?
Oh, hang on, hang on.
When I was going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've done that sort of stupid shit because I was still off my tits on chemicals.
Mate, if you can drink through
a Saturday...
What?
When did you
eat?
So at the end of the night
out, we'd
gone and got a breakfast.
Right.
The clubs in Liverpool would stay open until like
7, 8 o'clock in the morning on a Saturday night
yeah yeah yeah
so then by time
they're shut
the cafes are open
so then we
we went to cafe
got a big breakfast
had just like a
a Diet Coke
or whatever
and then by the time
we finished our breakfast
Wetherspoons was open
so we went to
Wetherspoons and started again
now
see that
I know that sounds ridiculous
because I just told everyone that i went clubbing so late
that i ended up hanging out with people that ghb themselves but that to me is so alien because i
could drink i can drink late but as soon as i got a sniff of carbohydrate a little fucking munch of
a piece of top never mind the full english once I was on the toast I'd be like
that is it's literally
you've started to stop watch for bed
the thing is though
there was probably like a two
three hour period where it wasn't enjoyable
but it felt like
this will be worth being able to
tell people in six years on a podcast
I once did this
fight through it, Adam.
This will make a fucking great anecdote, lad.
Do you know what I mean, though?
Like, I can now say I once went all night with no drugs
and carried on the next day.
It was the first customer in Wetherspoons.
I was there before the third member of staff.
It was just the fucking manager and the glass collector.
It's a comedian.
And then I went to a Christian and drank all day.
It's the comedian in you.
It's the comedian in you.
I tell you what, that is
how you know you're a comedian. If you literally
lean into the self-destruction
and misery because you know one
day it'll make your mate
stroke audiences
laugh. There's a comedian
we know, and I won't name him because it's his right to
tell a story when he wants to who fucked a prostitute um just so he had a prostitute
story to sell on stage pause the pod pause the pod okay have you ever have you ever had sex with a text with a prostitute? No. No. Right, we'll move on then.
I'm not...
Oh, hang on.
No, I just want to move on.
No, no.
Come on.
Right back at you.
I have one of the most...
Like...
It's embarrassing,
but I'm not unproud...
It's a weird one because on the face of it you should
be ashamed of it but at the same time really if i'd gone through like ah bang the prostitute i
shouldn't be ashamed of that i once was in birmingham after working at the birmingham glee
put you up in a lovely hotel had a great weekend weekend. Saturday night, they gave me £660.
I was about 27, 28 years old, drinking like a fish,
having a great time.
Ended up at a club with a couple of members of staff.
Someone buys pills.
I've got a pocket full of, like, a month's wages
just in my pocket.
I'm like, ah!
Do you ever do that?
I don't know if you've done that when you get paid,
but you get paid for Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
and then you go drinking.
It feels like you're like Tony Montana.
Say hello to my life!
But really, you're spending gas bill,
you're spending council tax.
I had a really bad night with that one night.
Up until about 18 months ago,
the comedy store in Manchester still paid cash.
And so to this day does the frog and bucket.
Now you still sign for it.
It's all legit.
Yeah.
But I did a weekend at both the comedy store and the frog and bucket.
They both paid me in full on the Saturday night.
And I went out in Manchester.
I went out in Manchester for the last hour before the last train and then went out in Liverpool
and woke up the next day with no money.
That's over a grand.
Oh yeah, yeah.
So you do Thursday at the comedy store,
you get £200 and then you get £240 for
three sets Friday and Saturday. So you get £920
from the store and about £500
from the frog.
£1400.
When this happens when you're a young man, from the store and about 500 from the frog. 1400 quid.
When this happens when you're a young man,
it's a time and a place thing, isn't it?
At the time,
if I did
that now, that would be so...
It wouldn't
be funny, would it? Because I've got a child
and a mortgage.
But daddy, daddy, I want some food.
But daddy, where is the bread for the toast in the morning i gotta get to the job center
when you're young you're like ah it's a fucking funny story and i hear i hear stories of like
older comedians doing that shit and i'm borderline depressed like like, oh, fucking jizz, the money for the weekend up the wall. You're like, oh, but you've got a mortgage.
Anyway, so Birmingham, out with a couple of members of staff,
ended up getting a couple of pills, dancing,
met these lads from Coventry.
Gone like a fucking house on fire.
I lost the mates, I mean, air quotes,
mates from the staff that worked at the Glee in Birmingham,
ended up on one of the most stupid fun chatting shit nights with these lads who are about 20 years old from Coventry.
Then they were like, yeah, we've got to get a fucking, we've got to get a fucking, we've got to get a bush back to fucking Coventry.
I was like, right.
One of them was like, yeah, but one of, one of, oh, mate, fucking Darren, he loves the fucking, there's a whorehouse.
Whatever, I'm not doing a good Coventry accent.
But he's got this thing for prostitutes.
I had about 540 quid left in my pocket.
And I was like, I want to go to a brothel.
And he was like, yeah, he's gone.
He's already gone.
Do you want us to show who's where he is?
I was like, yes.
I'd never been to one before.
I'd never felt the inclination.
It was this weird thing, you know, when you're a bit off your tits,
a bit drunk, a bit off your tits.
I was like, I want to do that as well.
I can do that.
They took me.
It went from like, oh, there's nightclubs, to round the corner,
to like, this is where people are murdered in Birmingham.
And then they were like, yeah, it's there.
You've just got to knock on.
So I sort of like...
The thing is about when you've got drugs in the system,
you can pass yourself off as quite normal.
So I was like, okay, I'm bloody doing this.
But I was off my tits.
Knocked on the door, pressed the buzzer, there's a pause,
the CCTV has a look at you, I'm like,
oh, fuck, they're not going to let me in.
And then I hear...
Push on the door, I i go upstairs the seediest
fucking blue lip bar people smoking it's horrible there's loads of dodgy looking blokes not all
pervy blokes younger blokes loads of younger asian guys and this amazing hot like probably a couple
years older than me maybe even my age she said she was cypriot was
like hello welcome to whatever club fucking it is i was like i knew instantly i walked and i was like
i'm out of my depth i'm out of my depth she went okay you have to choose one of these ladies i was
like uh what i wanted to do is go i've made mistake. I'm a comedian and I've had too much to drink and some drugs.
I was showing off to these lads from Coventry.
But I was like, oh, I can't, you know, I've just got to go with it.
I was like, I was looking at all these women.
They were like smiling in the films, you know, and they're all in a line. I was like, this is so cringy.
I could eat my own face.
And then it went cringing now.
I'll tell this story.
I went, can I have you?
It's because I knew it.
It's because I'd met her, because she'd been friendly to me.
I was like, I don't know them.
I know you.
She went, of course you can.
Okay.
Hey, I'm going.
And she took me around the side, up these stairs, into this room.
She was like, okay, 70 pounds for half an hour 130 pounds for an hour i
was like yeah whatever here you go took the cash off me took 70 quid how much is it gonna cost me
for six minutes she went okay take your clothes off i went right she's already in fucking nothing
amazing figure she's probably she probably runs a tech company
now in cyprus i took my clothes off i was like oh you big fat little white pig and then she was like
lie down i was like i don't really want to i was like okay she then tried to, like, sexually give me a handjob. It was one of the cringiest two minutes of my life
because I should have said at the start of the two minutes,
love, fuck all's happening there, duck,
because I've had two pills and about seven pints
and that guy is fucking...
I'm here, but this guy's unconscious.
Fuck me, it was so awkward. She was just, here, but this guy's unconscious. Fuck me.
It was so awkward.
She was just like rubbing around my little dick.
She was like, okay, it's okay.
I was like, right.
There's no kiss.
She's just basically like, come on.
She's trying to wake my dick up.
And I was like, I don't think anything's going to happen.
She went, no, it's okay.
Put my clothes on and just walked out i paid 70 pounds to have a
very attractive woman nudge my dick around for about a minute and a half and be like okay he's
flaccid come back could you not just like ask us to do something non-sexual that's like nice
like you know if nothing's happening with your dick with a prostitute, can you get her to, like, scratch your back or something?
Adam!
Adam!
I've been saying this for the last three or four years.
I fucking love a back scratch.
I'm like, Laura hates it.
She's like, oh, but like, ugh, like skin particles.
I'm like, would you be offended if I went to a prostitute and got her to scratch my back?
She was like, yes.
I'm like, well, I don't think you should be.
I never thought of it.
This is my theory that I've spoken about before.
It shouldn't count as cheating if it's something she won't do.
Lord has no right to be pissed off at you.
Hang on.
Backscratching is a weird, it's a grey area.
You're in a grey area.
It's a backscratch.
It's like the thing in pulp fiction about the
foot rub you shouldn't be annoyed about it but if you're in a brothel getting a back scratch i don't
think any girlfriend or wife's gonna be like that's my long-term partner what a job oh fuck
do you like a back scratch fucking love a bit of back rubby as well. Just like palm.
Not even any pressure.
Just like a stroke on your back like I'm a big dog.
Go on, what were we doing?
Hang on, we've got to get back to pints.
Yeah, so I'm going to the bar.
Right.
Fuck.
What's your long drink?
So hang on, are you getting a lager top at any particular brand?
No, I hate Fosters.
I think it smells like knob cheese.
There's something about Fosters that is ungodly.
But my preference is Cronenberg, if I'm feeling fruity, you know.
But just, you know, the cooking lager.
Carlsberg, Carly.
I would like a bottle of Peroni or a pint of Moretti.
Oh, right.
Fancy pants.
I didn't know it was a proper bar.
Yes, you're right.
They're phenomenal.
Almost feel, they feel so good, you shouldn't put lemonade in.
Well, I don't.
No, but what I'm saying is the Carlin is good for a little lemonade
I know what you mean yeah getting a Peroni
top is a bit of a waste isn't it
short and measure what's
what's
now I've stopped drinking
this because
I like it a lot
and it's too bad
for you
so it's Sailor Jerry's Roman Coke.
It's a spiced rum.
It's got like vanilla spices in it.
It's absolutely delicious.
It's a full strength spirit.
It's 40% ABV.
But I can't drink it with Diet Coke.
So I would go on a night out
and have 12 of these
and you end up drinking the equivalent to 12 cans of Coke on a night out and have 12 of these and you end up drinking the equivalent
of 12 cans of Coke on a night out.
Yeah.
And the amount of,
it's just awful for you.
It's like a drunk pick and mix in it.
It's essentially sweeties with happy.
But if I can pick anything,
I'm going that if I'm watching me wait at the time,
I'll probably go for a whiskey with no mixer,
just with an ice cube.
I can never do whiskey.
I like a gin and tonic, you know.
I like a gin and tonic.
That's a change of pace, because I think there's something about that,
the bitterness of it, that is nice.
They're the only three things, spirit-wise, I drink.
I drink spiced rum and coke, gin and tonic, and I drink straight whiskey.
God, these thank you shows are going to get messy
afterwards, aren't they? Oh, yes.
What's your shot?
Can I tell you mine?
On the count of three, we'll both
say it and see if it's the same. Go on.
One, two, three.
Sambuca. Cheers. Oh, fuck.
Sorry, I misunderstood.

Don't be like, that's what I drink as my second drink. I have 12 a night.

nice one lids i don't know about you but i'm feeling triggered it must be have a word with
adam and dave so i remembered yesterday that a friend of ours had a very weird hangover ritual
now in the past we asked for some hangover stories a few of them that we got were a bit
samey or long-winded and that's why we haven't done too many of, we asked for some hangover stories. A few of them that we got were a bit samey or long-winded,
and that's why we haven't done too many of them, but I think these
hangover rituals are just going to be
short, snappy, and quite funny.
Yes.
What a very succinct
way of putting that, Adam.
You've really
summed that up very well. Crack on.
No one knows
why we're laughing.
So, I
had a weird one, and I know a friend
of ours had a weird one. I'm going to tell you those two
in a sec, but I just want to ask you, did you come up with
any? Can you remember anything you used to do regularly
when you were hungover that's just a bit fucking stupid
or weird?
Thing is, with a hangover, it's
just a case of survival, innit a it's just a case of survival in it it's just a case of
survival it's like what feels like that at the time yeah i think the sooner you can get in the
shower and it's it might be like a it might be just like a psychosomatic thing but when you're
like i'm washing off the dirt the longer you're in
your underpants from the night before you're basically wearing the clothes of regret that's
how i feel like when you're like i'm in a dressing gown when i lived in chester the first time around
i lived in chester about 10 8 9 10 years ago and i was boozing loads the laughing was open
and it was such good booze and i was was like, you know when people say pub fit?
I was at the absolute peak of pub fit.
And I used to wake up hungover and instead of just wallow,
I would go, I'd get up, probably still a bit pissed, have a shower.
And then I'd set off for a bit of a walk and a bit of fresh air.
And sometimes when I was hungover, I managed to walk into Chester,
get like some French fries from McDonald's.
There was two McDonald's in Chester at the time.
I'd get a large fries from one,
eat the large fries on the
way to the other one, get another large
fries, and eat the large
fries from there on the way out of Chester.
That's... That
sounds amazing. Two portions
of large fries from Mackey's
on a hangover
oh
what a McDonald's
but also
not in the same bag
so
by the time you get
to the second one
it's cold
yeah
but it was something
about the washing
the dressing
I was still hung up
I was hung over as fuck
but
yeah
I like getting up
and doing things
I think if you're wallowing
you're in trouble.
Here's the sort of thing I had in mind.
So I went through a period of about six months to a year
where every time I was hungover,
I would watch Whitney Houston sing the American National Anthem
at the Super Bowl.
Why?
Why?
Why?
And why, though?
Why?
Why did you even know?
What young Scouse lad is like,
fucking hell, me, Sonny,
two slices of toast and fucking Whitney Houston singing the National Anthem.
The thing is, I quite like the American National Anthem as a song.
Hey, boy, just honestly, if anyone's going,
oh, I think I know it, but right.
So the college bowl game was played this year between LSU,
which is Louisiana State, and Clemson, which are two southern teams.
Donald Trump was there with Ivanka.
It was in the Superdome.
Now, I follow the New Orleans Saints.
The Superdome is the New Orleans stadium, so it's deep south.
Trump's popular, whatever.
They got, what's her fucking name?
They got a singer from Louisiana to sing the national anthem.
I have played that about five times.
That bowl game must have happened in January.
I've played it five or six times.
And a couple of times I just played it to Etta.
And it's amazing what Etta will not
watch, some things
she'll be like, oh she'll love this, she's three
every time that's on she's like
what the fuck is this, it's so good
if you want to listen
to the National Anthem, put in Whitney Houston
American National Anthem
or the college
championship game from
2020, it's amazing.
I'm going to watch that as soon as this episode's done.
Oh, mate, she fucking nails it.
It's fucking June.
So I used to watch that
and a mate of ours, another comic,
someone who I started out with,
good mates, was
Pete Otway
who is, he lived in
Liverpool and he's lived in Preston as well I think in Liverpool and he's lived in Preston as well, I think.
So he's got a bit of a connection.
I think he's lived in Preston.
He's one of the best Jewish comics on the circuit, yeah.
He used to watch, every time he was hungover,
he would watch the President's speech from Independence Day.
You know, as he's rallying the troops...
It's Bill Paxman troops it's Bill Paxman
it's Bill Paxman
isn't it
yeah
why
why
it's not even
a cool speech
it's not even like
it's not like
oh yeah I watched
Samuel L Jackson
or
Impulse Fiction
I fucking love it
where have you gone?
Bill Pullman.
Bill Pullman.
Bill Pullman.
Close enough.
I've had a beer.
The world is united.
Today, we celebrate our Independence Day.
So I just want, if you've got any of them,
if you've got any little weird quirks that you do regularly when you're
hungover, get them into haveawirdpod
at gmail.com because I remembered Pete's,
I remembered mine, and I thought we can't
be the only two fucking weirdos on the planet
who have a weird thing that they watch every time
they're hungover. Squares. I love
squares.
There's something about ready salted
squares when I'm hungover.
Ready salted squares. Oh, Walker's squares. I mean, they used to be Smith's, but ready salted squares when I'm hungover. How do you eat ready salted squares?
Oh, Walker's squares.
I mean, they used to be Smith's, but Walker's squares.
Not any of the other flavours.
Fuck that.
I'll get a multi-pack of six to just get the two ready salted.
You know what I like when I'm hungover sometimes?
Go on.
Asda's or Tesco's own, so not branded.
Yeah.
Their version of Watsit a big
share pack of them
cheesy puff snacks
I bet they are just called cheesy puff snacks
I think that's what they're called
cheesy puff snacks
we've not got the rights
for name
a big liter of orange lucasade as well
brand or off brand the rights for name a big liter of orange Lucas aid as well
brand
combo
brand or off brand
yeah no brand
oh yeah
Lucas aid
it's funny what you can have
brand and off brand
there's certain things
where you're like
fuck off
mate
like Laura's into pop chips
have you tried pop chips yet
yeah
love them
any snack of choice on a virgin train to London mate off brand pop chips? Have you tried pop chips yet? Yeah, love them. They're my snack of choice on a
virgin train to London. Mate, off-brand
pop chips are
absolutely beautiful.
But
cheap frazzles are not
as good as frazzles.
Frazzles are top-shelf shit.
You can't fuck with frazzles, mate.
Do you know my favourite
normal crisp
is walker style
do you know like
walker style
the best style
the best walker style
of crisp
like just thin normal crisp
standard
Aldi's own
they're called snack right
come off it
lad
trust me
there's more flavour
in one bag of
snack right
than a 24
multi pack of
walkers
I'll bring you
a multi pack
what's your favourite
standard crisp
is a
roast chicken
no no no
sorry
I meant what
brand of like
not like squares
or whatever
like Seabrook
salt
like ruffles
snack right
from Aldi.
Are the best standard crisp.
They're just the top level shit.
You know what I've been doing this afternoon?
I have been, because now my brother-in-law's not here,
I don't have to sleep in the studio anymore,
which is sort of amazing.
So I'm rearranging the studio for if and when,
I'm not saying it's going to be on Sunday.
The lockdown in the UK is eased.
If it's not Sunday,
it's going to be three weeks from then.
Adam's going to be able to come back to here to record the podcast.
So I was like,
well,
if I'm not sleeping in it,
I'm going to start setting it out.
I'm going to have a look at it.
I'm going to have it right.
So when you're back here,
it,
it's going to be right.
I forgot. Is there a reason you're telling me this now what were we talking are you more pissed than you appear to be i'm really pissed my head feels warm
what were we talking about we're talking about talking about crisps. I can't imagine what
the connection was.
I feel like I'm watching someone have a stroke.
What's that? How have I got
from crisps to studio?
I tell you what, Dan. Why don't you try and figure that out
in your own time and we'll actually do the rest
of the podcast before that happens.
Oh, sorry, mate. Go on.
You're in charge. You're in charge. You know what's happened here?
Do you know what's happened here?
This is what's happened. You, I
did all...
No, I was...
Yesterday, because I was
in charge, usually I've got loads of admin
to do before a podcast.
But today
you were like, I'll do today. I today i was like oh it's holiday i deserve it
you do deserve it special special little boy um i've come up with some would you rathers for you
oh you've never done this i've never done this so i've come up with them i haven't looked through
the email because they're normally yours
and I don't know necessarily
which ones we've done
and which ones we haven't
because I've got a brain like a sieve.
But I've come up with my own ones.
I've got six.
If we get through them all, great.
But they're all in categories.
They're all a slightly different category.
So I'm going to give you the choice
and you can pick which category
you want to go from.
Okay?
And I'm saying right now,
I'm in such a good mood.
I'm having a great time.
I'm basically living the dream. I want to do so okay let's do it man let's do how
many of you come up with six that's a lot would you rather we're already at 40 odd minutes right
i'm gonna do at least two right come on maybe so we've got superpowers, drinking, odours, loss, inconvenience, or food.
Right, I'm going to say I don't want to do any more drinking.
We've talked booze in a lot.
Okay.
And I honestly think this is a professional podcast, you know.
I don't want to talk about drinking.
It used to be.
Yeah.
Yeah, it used to be.
I'm interested by loss.
Inconvenience interests me,
and superpowers will honestly,
until my dying day,
be an intrigue.
I'm going to say,
can we do those three?
Loss, inconvenience, and superpowers.
Okay, in the order?
No, fuck it.
Those three, yeah.
Go on.
Okay.
It's not a quiz. I don't know why I feel the pressure. I feel the pressure to be like, oh, fuck, you've got Those three, yeah. Go on. Okay. It's not a quiz.
I don't know why I feel the pressure.
I feel the pressure to be like,
oh, fuck, you've got to get this right.
It's not.
That's not how it works.
Would you rather lose your sense of direction
to the point where you literally can't find your way anywhere,
you can't follow a map,
and even when a sat-nav says, sort of like, turn left,
you don't really understand it,
it just frazzles you.
All right, so essentially, be every woman I've ever. You don't really understand it. It just, it frazzles you. Alright, so essentially
be every woman I've ever dated
or been married to. Go.
Oh, Jesus!
Or
lose your sight and become
100% blind.
Alright, it's a loaded base, one isn't it i couldn't not go blind i just i would love to
know what would have to be stacked against being blind because blinds are mother fucker in it
drive driving a dog or a man who takes you around and you're blind, you get either a dog or a man
who takes you around and you're still
going to get everywhere on time and stuff.
If you lose your sense of direction,
it's not really, the world is
not as sympathetic to people with a
loss of direction, is it? So you get a
Noel. You're still, you're a comedian.
You're going to have to try and get
to the frog
and bookie to go and host beat the frog on a Monday with no sense of direction.
So I can't remember routes?
No, you've got no sense of direction.
But I have got a sat-nav.
Yeah, but if the sat-nav goes turn left, you don't really know what that means.
Well, yeah.
You'd have to set off a month in advance. I can't, yeah. You'd have to set off a month in advance for everything.
I can't, mate.
This is what I'm saying.
You can't just go, oh, I can't go blind,
because the alternative is not...
No, hang on, hang on, hang on.
I get what you're trying to do,
but the blind, it's so cataclysmic.
Like, there will be people listening to this who are blind, it's so cataclysmic. Like, there will be people listening to this who are blind
because the blind community are huge supporters of all audio comedy, right?
This is a...
I'm not joking.
That feels like I'm being a dick.
This to a blind person...
You know why podcasts will be massive?
The radio is the same, but podcasts will be massive.
And I would love to hear from some of our blind listeners
because what they're getting right now is their impairment,
the thing that they haven't got.
It makes no difference when it's listening to a podcast.
I wouldn't want to give up my site if i if i could
fight for it i tell you it's a lack of sense of direction i would i just have to get a good
fucking tom tom i love a sense of direction though i look i remember when i met laura and i was like
where do you live in regards to nottingham we'd been dating we'd had one night out one day and i
was like so she told me where she lived in
nottingham a name you know when you meet someone you're like i don't know that place that's just
a fucking name it could have been flukwitz from fuck it i don't it's just any word it didn't mean
anything to me and it was chill well that's where she's from and i don't know i went what she went i don't what do you mean i went i
mean geographically where is it in relation i know where nottingham is i know where derby is
where's chill well she was like well it's near beast and i was like no that's not what i'm
asking i don't know where the beast in is where's that in geographical relation she was like, no, that's not one of my skin. I don't know where the beast in it is. Where's that in geographical relation?
She was like, I'll have to ask my dad.
She had to fucking ask her dad.
And then she was like, oh, I've looked on Google Maps.
It's sort of, it's sort of west-southwest.
I was like, she'd lived there all her fucking life
and had no idea geographic.
She was like, yeah, Nottingham's that way.
I find that very frustrating.
Here's why you do not know
how blessed you are with the woman in your
life because of the fucking thing I've got in
mind. So Jade,
right, has got zero
sense of direction, but
she's so arrogant
she doesn't know it.
Or she certainly doesn't act like she knows it
so she's from Skemmersdale
Jade, she's originally from about
30 miles away from Liverpool
Is she from Skemm?
Do you not know that?
Oh my god
I did not know that
Oh my god it makes so much
sense
So when she moved she moved to Oh my God, it makes so much sense.
So when she moved, she moved to Liverpool.
We now live in Liverpool.
She lives with me where I've lived for the past 10 or so years.
She will confidently, she'll be driving the car.
And like the one example I always bring up today, we were going to cinema, right?
And we got to a T-junction
and she had her left indicator on.
And I was like, what are you doing?
It's right.
She was like, it isn't, it's that way.
That's where the main road is.
I was like, yeah, that's where the main road is.
We're not going to the main road
because the cinema's over there.
She's like, it's fucking not over there.
And I was like, how many times
have you got to get a direction wrong
before you consider that maybe I've got a better sense of
direction than you, especially
in the place I've lived for a fucking decade
and you've been here for two weeks.
No, no, you're fucking wrong.
So I went, okay, go that
way and then I'll show you where we would have come out
if we'd have gone your way. It was an
argument that ruined the fucking film we were going
to see. Yeah.
Do you know know but that's
that's where politics come into it in it essentially relationship politics is coming
because if she was with someone that she was like acquaintances with she'd have probably gone oh
yeah you're right but it becomes about the relationship and like well fuck you adam i'm not... So you're saying you would lose your sense of direction?
Oh, fuck yeah, man.
Shout out to everyone who's lost their vision.
I'm not fucking with that.
I think I'd go blind.
Nah, fam.
Go on, next one.
I love it, love it, love it.
That's a great one.
By the way, I've been vetting Would You Rathers
for four or five months,
and I've been coming up with a lot of them
and pretending... Pretending they were someone else's that's a good one good start good start solid go so you wanted
inconvenience didn't you next yes mate yes mate do it so would you rather constantly have an
unbearably itchy bum hole or constantly feel like there's shampoo in your eyes?
Oh, that's awful.
Awful.
I was like, sir,
I was about to go very Victorian gentleman.
How dare you, sir?
How dare you even mention the unmentionable?
It's not like... The salty bum hole? The salty bum hole?? It's not like the salty bum hole.
The salty bum hole.
You've got the bum hole.
So when you're itching it, you've got to get right in there.
Mate.
Is there...
There's those moments as a man where you know you're being disgusting.
Where you're like, you've got that...
I don't know what it is.
You've had something spicy the day before. You've just got some residuals. i don't know what it is you've had something spicy the day
before you've just got some residuals i don't know what it is there's a tang to the butthole
when you get to just have like single tissue paper and just like a fucking like it's not a wipe it's
an itch oh oh that is one of the most satisfying things in life while being dreadful like you do it and
you're like i'm a pig i don't care it's life i go to the toilet sometimes just to itch me bummo
i do i've got an itchy bummo i know that i can't just stick my hand up there so i excuse myself i
go to the toilet.
I get a bit of toilet roll.
I shove it right between my ass cheeks and I wiggle around.
One of Louis CK's.
And I know we've said Louis CK.
Oh, he's a perv.
Let's stop adding that caveat.
We don't think that Louis CK is a good person.
We think what he did was reprehensible and he's a creepy little knob.
However, from going on
and never saying it again, let's just
take that as read. That's what we
think of him as a person. As a comedian,
I think he's an all-time great track
on. The show in Phoenix,
what was that, about five, six years ago
when he was like, you ever just
for no reason just think,
I really need to wipe my ass right now.
I really need to wipe my ass right now.
When he did that, things i haven't been for a shit i just i really need to wipe my ass right now i when i watched that i laughed so much do you know why because every
man and this is the thing i'm not talking talking about men. All men have thought that, but there have been,
I mean, statistically in comedy, quite a lot of men,
and no one has ever gone,
you know that thing that is true of all men,
that is so piercingly honest,
so, like, obvious.
I'm going to say it as a bit of observation there's no add-on there's no flurry
it's just that have you ever noticed that sometimes you need to wipe your ass even though
you've not been for a shit and i laughed so and you know why it's funny because it's so
it's so skillful to know that that's what other men have been through but it's almost like the
bravery to go i don't give a
shit that you ever people women in the audience like you're a pig young men might be like that's
disgusting but everyone i think over 25 who's had a decent night out it's like oh my god he's
jesus christ he's literally like a fucking rusty bum old j. It's a phenomenal observation
and it's so well delivered.
I, however,
did you say shampoo in your eyes?
Yeah.
You know that when you get shampoo in your eyes
and it's stinging like fuck?
Do you know what?
I tell you,
I've dealt with shampoo in my eyes
as a bald man.
I haven't dealt with that since about 2001.
Wrong question.
So, I'll be honest, again, we're going back to my eyes. I haven't dealt with that since about 2001, right?
So, I'll be honest, again, we're going back to my eyes.
I'm not fucking with my eyes,
because if I'm trying to cross a busy road, yeah,
and I've got a rusty, itchiest fuck bum hole,
I can clench and just sort of do that crab walk across the fucking road.
If you've got shampoo in your eyes,
you're getting hit by a BMW and I'm not doing it.
So I'm going to take...
An itchy bummer.
Even though it's the worst.
How weird is this?
You've got an itchy bummer.
I've got an itchy bummer.
I was talking about it.
I think you made the right decision there.
It's a tough one and it's designed that way on purpose,
but you know what?
I fucking respect your decision.
Adam, can I just say before you do your next Would You Rather,
you are proving yourself so good at podcast planning
that we are in the realms of like,
oh, the listeners are going to be like,
well, Dan's obviously editing it and getting it all online,
but Adam's so good at the production.
Maybe he should be in charge of all the episodes.
I'd reign this in.
I'd put a few in the fucking stands here, mate.
I'm not joking.
This has been a very good episode, and you know why I know that?
Because I've had loads of booze.
Go on.
So the next one you wanted was superpowers.
Yeah, of course, of course, of course.
Would you rather be able to read everyone's mind
within a hundred yard radius
or be able to read one person's mind at all times
no matter where they are in the world?
So like you could go, right,
I want to be able to read laura's mind
wherever she is no matter what oh fucking bore off i can see that i can see that just with a
look in her eye she literally from across the room she's like what have i done with my life
like pick me dickhead let's let's roll right i love it and i'm i'm gonna i'm gonna break it down
one is so much better than the other and i'll tell you for why you think that you'd be able to
to read someone's mind you could pick an incredibly wealthy or influential person
however are they gonna live forever no they're gonna die they're gonna get run over
they're gonna get cancer whatever so they also could potentially lose influence and wealth
so your one pick is a bit of a gamble now yeah with the hundred yards if you read the people so you go to the the un or the gh summit or wherever you can you can go somewhere
very heavily populated like the the stock exchange or something you're in the midst of so many people
i think that would be long term more useful even though you'd say well jeff bezos or
the fucking donald trump or whatever but presidents
have terms prime ministers get voted out leaders are fucked off and wealthy people die or lose
their wealth i would rather have the ability to take myself into a situation and read the
fucking room and also just specifically on that within 100 yards being able to read the fucking room. And also, just specifically on the,
within 100 yards,
being able to read the room.
Like, if you're a comedian
and you wanted to fuck with people,
that would be pretty good as well,
wouldn't it?
It would.
Here's what I'm going to say, though.
I'm going to answer me own question here.
I would pick the one person.
I'll tell you why.
Go on.
I've watched quite a lot of episodes of Black Mirror, right?
Right.
And I think if you could hear and be able to see
what other people are thinking around you at all times,
and especially what they think of you.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Did it?
You hear what they think of you?
You can read their mind, yeah.
And you can't turn it off you can but the temptation will
be there and you wouldn't turn it off if you knew someone was looking at you funny and you were like
what do you think of me there's no way you're going you know what i've learned from your mistakes
i'm not gonna that's his business i'm not gonna pry you're gonna use your powers for evil and
find out and i don't think anyone wants
to know what the people around them...
I think we want to, but we...
I think we want to want to,
but we don't want to. No, of course.
Comedians don't want to read
reviews, but they do. They read
reviews. Exactly. How many times have you
been in a green room with another
comma? And in your head,
they're your mate. it's a friend of yours
but you're thinking, he's doing my
fucking head in today, I hate it when he's
like this, he's a knobhead, if you said that
out loud, that becomes an irreparable
relationship a lot of the time, you'd lose friends
you'd lose loved ones, I think it's
a nightmare, but if you just pick one
person, someone who's dead clever, Bill
Gates or something, and you just
know what he's thinking and you just patent all his fucking ideas before he does, you could become a clever, Bill Gates or something, and you just know what he's thinking, and you just patent all his
fucking ideas before he does, you can become
a billionaire, you've smashed it.
Nah, nah, nah.
You, I get what you mean,
you can read their mind,
you have to then be very, very
capable to use that reading of a mind.
So the big risk
is you have to pick right, and then you have to be able
to use the knowledge
I'd definitely take the people within 100 yards
but I honestly when I answered
didn't know that I heard their thoughts
can I just have it a one way
I want to read
I want to read their minds
I don't want to know what they think of me
what are you talking about
when you're reading minds
they can't read yours
so hang no but hang on this is what i mean about reading minds if you're anonymous in a crowd of
people they have no thoughts of you do they so if there's 100 people at a business conference say
you go to a very influential business conference. Yeah, I understand that. I understand what you're saying. Or, you're telling me...
Who's that weird guy?
You're telling me...
Hang on.
Right, 58.
50.
Okay, so you're telling me,
meeting Laura's parents for the first time,
you'd have just turned it off?
Yeah.
That's not...
Bullshit!
No, of course, of course, of course.
But I love how seriously I take would-you-rathers.
Of course, you're going to take some rough with the smooth
with the skill, but if you're gonna take some rough with the smooth with the
skill but if you're talking about how you get if you get how you get rich out of it as long as you
stay like low key in a situation people aren't thinking about you you're just a bloke in a crowd
but you're reading all demands yeah but how often are you gonna hang out outside the un or jeff
bezos's house before he goes and gone?
This fucking concierge every day.
He's stalking me.
How gutted would you be if you were like,
right, Jeff Bezos is worth 148 billion.
Wicked.
Next day, Jeff Bezos has had a jet ski accident
and has fucked himself into a wall.
You'd be like,
fuck, shut up, take my money.
Oh, I want to do another one.
Adam.
I know we're overrunning it.
Honestly, I've got nowhere better to be.
Plus, turns out you're the producer now. Go on.
So, odours, okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Would you rather constantly
stink of BO, like sweat yeah right but like
people within like five yards yeah can smell it the worst ever be like the bo where you're
walking through a supermarket and the person who's shopping a minute and a half behind. He's like, ah, what's that? And it's you.
Yeah.
Go on.
You smell a BO.
It's faint,
but it's there.
Nasty.
Or once every calendar month on a random day.
So the day changes every month.
Yeah.
You stink of shit.
Like it smells like you're just constantly shit in your pants all day with
diarrhea, but you're not, there's no mess, but it smells like you're just constantly shitting your pants all day with diarrhea but
you're not there's no mess but it smells like you are one day a month you don't know when it's coming
or constantly stinker b.o i'll tell you i'll tell you for right now i'll take shit day i will take
shit day i will take shit day because you know why i love the parameters of this would you rather and i tell you i'll take shit day
every day because that smell is a very very strong bo that you explain you are never getting if you're
single you're never getting laid you are a fucking hindrance to your friends you're walking on stage
and leaving a miasma of your own fucking horrible stanky staleale body odour. It is a problem
constantly.
If you wake up in the morning
and you go,
oh my god, it's my day of the
month. You can't just stay in bed.
You've still got to go about your day as normal.
Well, no.
You can't just tap out
and be like, I'm not going anywhere today. If you've got
a gig that night, you've still got to go.
No, well, that's...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's my fucking game.
No, no, no.
Well, then...
No, stinking...
No, you can't...
Because if you have that odour coming off you,
you're going to act accordingly.
Like, if... So, I do stand stand up normally, pre-rona.
I do comedy five days.
If I woke up stinking of shit and I was like,
Laura, what's that smell?
She was like,
I don't know, but you're stinking of shit.
I wouldn't be like, oh, well, I've got to get the frog or hot water.
I'll get in the car and off I go.
I'm telling you, you've got to.
No, you've overcomplicated the wood.
You've made it unreasonable.
I take the stink and just have a big stinky...
I'd be gipping my...
Like a hangover.
I'd just gip in my bed like...
Knowing that tomorrow, fresh as a daisy.
Even with my extra caveat, I'd take the shit day
and I'd just tell people what it is.
I'd write a bit about it.
I'd be on stage going,
if you can smell rotten shit, by the way, that's me.
I have this condition where once a month, I'm like this.
If you have to go about your day as normal
and you don't ring your head and say,
oh, by the way, Binti, hot water, I'm having my shit day.
So maybe you want to bump me to tomorrow?
Just
turn it all fucking out.
Rosie, Jesus Christ!
The weird thing is, there's a couple of comedians
who have this day every time I fucking work with them.
There's one
who stinks a B.O. on the Northwest
Circuit. I can't even be in the same
room as him. The worst.
Quite a successful comedian.
No, not him.
He once made a woman cry
at Hot Water though because he smelled that bad, the one you're thinking of.
Anyway.
I've got two more.
Adam, you're so good at producing.
Come on.
Why not?
You're finding your role.
Do you know the difference in your... I know you're in a different producing come on why not you're finding your role do you know the difference
in your
I know you're in a different mood
but yesterday
it was me all like
Adam I've got this for you
and you were like
ah fuck them
and their fucking dad
and then today
you're like
Dan what do you think of this
I'm like oh sure
yeah
go on
I love it
I love the change of
fucking pace
go on
this is the food one
okay
go on would you rather you know I've got I'm weird with. Go on. This is the food one. Okay.
Go on.
Would you rather... You know I'm weird with food.
Go on, go on, go on.
Would you rather have to eat a whole tin of dog food
for three times...
Would you rather have to eat a whole tin of dog food
three times one day per week?
So one day a week, you have a tin of dog food
for your breakfast, lunch and dinner.
You can have snacks in between, but that's what you have for your breakfast. That's what you have a tin of dog food for your breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can have snacks in between,
but that's what you have for your breakfast.
That's what you have for your lunch.
That's what you have for your dinner.
You have to finish it.
Right.
For eating the dog food once a week.
Or, this better be really bad.
Only be able to eat curry-flavoured pot noodles
that have gone out of date
for the rest of your life.
It's as if no other food exists.
Curry-flavoured pot noodles that have gone out of date i mean i mean if if pot noodles go out of date it doesn't really matter that's like
saying cardboard stale like um but that i mean god you'd be so like
oh god the dog food the dog food's probably got nutrients in it You'd be so like, oh, God.
The dog food's probably got nutrients in it.
If you eat, right, so this is my problem.
I'm 39.
I can now, do you remember when I was like 15, 20 years ago,
when I was going out, taking drugs with these gays and drinking GHB?
I could see a difference in how I looked physically,
my complexion and all that,
from what I'd been doing drinking drug-wise.
Now I'm 39.
If I eat shit for two or three days,
by the fourth day I'm like, wow, you're looking rough.
So imagine at 39 years old how rough I would look after two months
of just out-of-date curry-flavoured pot noodles.
I'd look like a fucking globular piece of shit.
Now, in theory, the rest of the time, you could eat well.
I probably wouldn't, but I could eat well for six days a week.
And that dog food, as long as it was high-end, I'm not eating the shit dog food,
it's probably got, all those you know nutrients
that your dog needs i might end up in crofts and here is damn nightingale comedian podcaster best
in best in breed are you going dog food i'm going dog food do you you know why? Because I might end up with some fucking hair.
I might end up with a lovely mane.
When I wrote this one, I was trying my best to make it
so that you pick dog food.
And it makes it even better that after I got halfway through this question,
you were like, this next bit is going to have to be disgusting
for me to eat dog food fucking one day
a week and i've got yeah we got him ladies and gentlemen we got him dan's eating dog food but i
will live a full and healthy life with that one day a week it's gonna be like why is dad so grouchy
yeah it's his pedigree chum day so just leave leave him alone. He just has to gip it down.
Like, it probably...
The rest of the...
Those are the six days.
It's a healthy, balanced meal.
Curry-flavoured pot noodles?
I'll be dead at 50.
My body is just like...
Eat a nutrient.
He's a good one, that.
So you're eating down food.
Adam, you're so good at this
right
I know we've already done a lot of drinking
but we've also done about 40 minutes of podcasting
since we've done that
so I'm going to finish, I'm going to do the last one which is a drinking one
but there's been enough of a gap
you ready?
it's the final one
would you rather
every podcast is better when I drink, go on.
Would you rather be able to never get past tipsy when you drink?
No matter how much you drink, you're always tipsy.
But you're also tipsy from your first sip onwards.
So you have a little sip of beer, you're tipsy.
You can't drive, you're tipsy, right?
Tipsy's the best bit,
go on. Or, be
totally sober for your
first three drinks,
no matter what they are, you can have a double
whiskey and coke if you want. For three
drinks, you will be totally sober.
On your fourth drink, as soon as you
have a sip, you're absolutely
hammered.
Tipsy, tipsy. Because you basically, I know, I can see you're absolutely hammered tipsy tipsy because you basically i know i can see you're
thinking on this one but what you've said is do you know that bit of drinking is the best bit
where you feel a little bit of it but you're not a bell end which the bit of drinking that everyone
really wants to feel when you feel like i feel fucking illegal forever or none of the above
nothing and then for in the bin going no fuck you and your fucking mom no tipsy i understand
the thought process i reject the concept tipsy good answer yeah you've got a good point
there's
James Acaster
on one of his specials
on Netflix
has a joke about this
he says
there's only four things
you can be
sober, tipsy, drunk
and hungover
tipsy is the only one
you don't cry
Joran
I tell you what
that boy is
fucking good
isn't he Adam Rowe
he is
I don't give a shit
what you think about
stand up James Acaster is good. I don't give a shit what you think about stand-up.
James Acaster is good.
He started out at Vauxhall Comedy Club.
Yeah, he did.
That's still an advert for them.
He probably never.
I bet he did.
Doing these adverts makes me want to go to Vauxhall Comedy Club so much.

two mics
two leads
and a lot of time
on their hands
this is Have A Wad
welcome back
do you want to play
our theme tune
it's time to have a word
with Adam and Dan
tell us all the problems
you had with your friends this was gonna be the whole podcast Oh, Harry, you've made my...
You've improved my life so much.
Beautiful fucking quality, innit?
Now, got one have a word prep for today.
It's sort of something that we touched on a little bit yesterday,
a little bit in a slightly different way
in not in the have a word section.
We've got this email come through
from Emily,
who wants us to have a word with men
who give up once they're in a relationship.
They stop making efforts.
They don't take their girls on as many dates as they did at the start.
They don't clean the toilet or the bathroom.
They'll leave their pubes in the bath after they've shaved them.
They just literally give up and don't make an effort to make their girlfriends fancy them anymore.
You need to have a way with them, especially during lockdown,
because now we're locked with them together.
And it's just aggravating every
argument we have she didn't spell that right but i think that's what she meant that's from emily
what do you reckon well emily i i feel like i'm aware everything you write everything you said
is absolutely right and i am worried that in a week when my wife listens to this,
she'll be like, you absolute bellend.
Why are you going, oh, yeah, you're totally right, Emily.
Why don't you?
I think every man is guilty of this.
Aren't they?
Are you, Adam?
I mean, Jade loves you and you love Jade.
But you know you could do more, surely.
I take issue with the fact that Emily thinks this is a male problem
and not a human one.
Oh, yes.
Turn it around.
Turn it around, Adam.
Bitches be slacking too.
They stop shaving their legs.
They start leaving that little bit of hair on their lip, which is not
there at the start. They stop
having as fun sex.
They just want to do missionary. At the start
they are like, oh no, I like being
choked. Punch me in the eye.
Call me a cunt.
Punch. Say my nan's dead.
People give up when they get comfortable.
Yes, men do it.
I'm a nightmare for this.
The bathroom is a fucking state.
My IBS shit is sprayed on. Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Ah!
Upset me!
Nasty bitch!
Jade drives me mad with this
because she'll be like,
you've had a shave, haven't you?
Because there's like three hairs in the bathroom.
I haven't moved them.
I want you to go with this magnifying glass
and find the three hairs you've left in the bathroom.
When she shaves her fanny,
she taps the razor on the wall of the shower
and it stays there for fucking months.
Mate, Laura,
there's hairs from when Laura shampoos.
And she just sort of must like,
slap her hand against the tiles on the wall. She just sort of must, like, slap her hand against the
tiles on the wall. She just sort of
leaves them there.
It's absolutely vile.
It's easy to say
when you haven't got no hair to slap on the wall, though,
isn't it? You don't know when you would do that.
I'll tell you what,
if you ever want the upper hand,
the moral high ground in like,
oh, there's loads of fucking hairs wrapped around the fucking hoover thing.
If you're bald, you always get to call her out.
I'm not saying being bald's fun.
It's not.
It's a bit of a pain.
You look like a Danish sex offender.
Right.
But one of the advantages, you get to take the moral high ground.
It looks like a Dalmatian's just fucked itself against our shower yes that's you not me because i'm a swedish baldy i would say this
i get the reasoning oh just because we're together a long time doesn't mean you shouldn't make effort
so my nana and granddad they were married for 60 years plus
wedding anniversary
did they have 60
so at what point
are you allowed to be like
yeah
that's enough now
I get
I get it
oh you
just because you're married
doesn't mean you shouldn't make the effort
but
20 years of marriage,
let me get my hairy balls flopping about and not give a shit.
There must be a point.
So you're telling me that every married couple,
you got married when you were 20,
you're now 80,
you've been married 60 years and you've still got to shave your fucking
Fajit and he's got to shave his tuppence just because you don't want to
hairy.
Like there is a point.
So when's the point? Is point, so when's the point?
Is it Emily?
When's the point?
Yeah, when should your fella be allowed to just be himself?
That's the thing.
You're stopping your man living his truth.
If he wants to be a dick, that's it.
That was the most...
That was the most alt-right fucking...
No, hey, Henley, you're a serb.
Hey, lit, smell the fart.
That's the man.
Love the man, love the fart.
Do you know, Jay, he woke me up the other night
to tell me I'd farted in my sleep and I need
to stop. Oi,
I love that woman. I think she's great.
I'm not sure you're alright for each other
long term. I am.
I'm really worried about that.
Any woman who wakes you up
while you're asleep
to tell you farted.
What does she want me to do?
Hold it in in me sleep.
Like, suck it in.
I'm so sorry, babe.
Yeah, so Emily,
swivel.
I guarantee you've let yourself go as well.
Not bad.
Everyone listening,
I know for a fact
Adam doesn't want to prep every show
but I think you'll find
this has been a fucking belter
Oh
You injured yourself?
Belter, you've, oh Adam you're good at this
It's time
I have a word
and I'm drunk, so that's probably
Yes you are, I'm worried about the edit
that's how drunk you are
Something's gonna get missed Either the song's gonna be on the air probably ultimate opinion. I'm worried about the edit. That's how drunk you are.
Something's going to get missed.
Either the songs are going to be on the air. There's going to be a weird Twitter like,
why was there a Coldplay song
at minute 37?
I came alone.
I can't wait to get pissed on Sati
oh we're doing it
my beer 52 will be here by then
today's band is called
Bright Falls
they're an alt country slash rock band
from Thales in Ireland
they are Bright Falls Forever on Instagram
and at I am Bright Falls
on Twitter this song is called
Preacher Casey it's a banger as well
listened to it earlier
it's dead good
we'll see you tomorrow
Dan
go and have a coffee
and then edit the podcast
I love you
see you later
bye Volusia
bye I bought myself a shotgun
Of a clergyman's son
He tells me stories
I speak no lie
They call him Preacher Casey
With lift I was lazy
He wore a patch upon the right
Well he's born to be there
And every word he spoke was the truth
And now he will soar and bleed for the sacred
Sack with a make
At 69 he bought a knife Traveled the plains throughout the night
The angel of death lurked in the sand
Miss Patty!
Kept down a man named Abraham
Made him pay for all his sins
He stabbed him in the neck in a shift of times.
When he thought to be dead, every word he spoke was the truth.
And now he will soar and leap for the sacred sack we make. Take that sack with me
I bought my seventh shotgun Off the clergyman's son
He tells me stories, I speak no lie
Tracked down a man named Abraham
Made him pay for all his sins
Stabbed him in the neck and shit twelve times Woo! you
