Starting point is 00:01:05 See you in a bit Fucking did it in one take bro Yeah man Now I'm getting the word Nause Cha Upset me
Starting point is 00:01:17 Nause bitch Catch me outside How about that I'm big bonded I'm heavy structured I'm hung low If I pull my shit out this whole room, get dark. Disgusting!
Starting point is 00:01:27 It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel like podcasting. With video on YouTube, on social media, at Have A Word Pod, you're listening to the funniest podcast in the game. Have a word. Shut down dailies. Let's get through this mess together. And so we've come to the end of the road. End of the road. Oh, I was doing the other guy. The last shutdown daily,
Starting point is 00:02:16 and I've been drinking rum since half past twelve. Good lad. Good lad. I, if you caught me this morning, woke up felt hungover yesterday and that carried over and i woke up and i was like i feel so much better i'm not gonna drink today and then by 10 a.m it was sweltering and i was like oh no it's needed it's absolutely needed not only do i have a like i almost feel like i need to because of the pod, like I have to because we've told everyone.
Starting point is 00:02:48 It's the weirdest. Because everyone's been so loyal to us, I feel like I can't let people down and be like, yeah, I know it's meant to be the lockdown locking, guys, and we've done fucking seven weeks of six pods a week and now we're going to change the schedule, but I'm just not in the mood to drink. I really feel like that would
Starting point is 00:03:05 be a betrayal of have a word listeners. I'd never do another episode with you again. And I bid you a good day sir. Do you know what's really sad? Today and it's glorious in Liverpool the sun is fucking
Starting point is 00:03:21 tracking the flags. Today would have been the day that Liverpool lifted the Premier League trophy alright the best thing is is to put that in a box and just push it under your bed and then burn the bed and set fire to the house because
Starting point is 00:03:37 listen we don't really do football on here and Liverpool is a huge part of Adam's life I am a fucking part part-time watford fan it's drifting for me but we've purposefully not talked about it and i in the past i have i have ripped a little bit but it's been a long seven weeks it's been a long shutdown and i'm going into next week feeling so fucking good i feel like it's the best move for the pod i feel i said i messaged adam before i feel like it's the
Starting point is 00:04:12 end of like an edinburgh festival run where you're like you feel it's like the end of exams or something like i've actually worked we've done it and it's gonna be better we are gonna be better for this going forward the pod will be better for it i think it's eight weeks it's going to be better we are going to be better for this going forward, the pod will be better for it I think it's 8 weeks it's either 7 or 8 weeks we've done with a daily episode which is a lot longer than either of us
Starting point is 00:04:36 expected to be without Glegan never mind having a podcast to do it I don't know what I thought the shutdown would be in my head I was like April and May are in the bin but we'll be back by June maybe July and now I'm like oh no this is different
Starting point is 00:04:50 but I think I was telling myself that like a lot of comics have, like a lot of people have done because they want it to be true because the alternatives are like well what the fuck else am I going to do and this has become, because of the support of everyone that listens, the people that have signed up for the Patreon the help we've got from listeners sorting sponsors out the content that people have sent in the fucking emails of people just going lads i haven't got anything to
Starting point is 00:05:14 tell you i just want to say thank you it's been one of the most amazing things i've been involved in in in the whole of my 18 years of being a stand-up just to be part of something like phenoms yeah man and so it was an easy an easy decision to make i i i think you can hear a strain i could play about three episodes of this last seven weeks where we were under a strain now me and adam have never snapped to each other we. It's not really in our character or anything, but you can feel a fucking strain. You're like, wow-wee. Like, it's a pressure because it's so intense, and I'm
Starting point is 00:05:54 just, I feel today, you're like, oh, drawing a line under there. Gonna be fun, gonna be fun. I fucking love it. It's gonna be so much better for it. I'm already looking forward to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday next week. I'm like, we're going to do those three episodes. And I tell you what, mate, because of that question I
Starting point is 00:06:09 asked you the other day, like if it was at a wedding and I went to the bar and I was getting you three bevvies, a BS or one, a short and a short. And I remembered how much I like Sailor Jerry's and all we have been like, I want a Sailor Jerry's and Coke and I've got to be covered. I've got sailor jerry's left because i've drank it all but um
Starting point is 00:06:29 i've got this bacardi eight year rum eight year old bacardi rare gold spiced rum and i'm on a fucking wave here mate i'm having a fantastic time i've also got me beer as well because you know i'm a response can i just say on Thursday I tried Bud Light because I saw it, thought of you. I tell you this, and this is me being a bit of a lightweight, I've got very used to the old 5% Corona, but is it 4.6?
Starting point is 00:06:56 Slightly stronger, isn't it? Yeah, it's 5. That, with Smirnoff Ice, it's the... it's my Turbo Shandy preference. So, can I just, before we go any further, because that's just reminding me, my best mate Matt has just found out he's being promoted to be a commander
Starting point is 00:07:12 in the Navy. Now, I don't know exactly what that is, but it sounds fucking cool. And we used to go out and Does that mean that he now gets to tell people when they're getting bummed? Yeah. He, honestly, he actually writes up the bumming schedule now.
Starting point is 00:07:34 He gets the bum pen, and it's a Sharpie, brown, obviously, and he writes out the list of who gets bummed and when, and that's exciting. But I know how fucking hard he's worked since we were, what did he, maybe he went in the Navy at 23. No, this is my mate, Matt,
Starting point is 00:07:49 who's a, he's a 10 pound patron, which he didn't have to do, but he's just, he's just like my best mate. And he's like, yeah, of course I'll do that. It's my,
Starting point is 00:07:55 you know, and he told me yesterday, I'm so fucking chuffed for him. And then didn't get a chance to ring him. So I rang him today going, all right, come on, giving him shit.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Can I just pause for one sec? Because I want to hear this story and I want to concentrate on it. I just want to highlight the difference between your friend and mine. So your friend is like, sign up to the £10 Patreon. Of course I would.
Starting point is 00:08:15 You're out of work. You're struggling. I'll absolutely sign up to that. Last week when we announced that from now on one of the episodes is exclusively on Patreon, I got a text from my best mate, Carl, which said, what's this fucking Patreon shite? I'm signing up for not and you better send me the file and because like if i not met carl and if i didn't really like carl i'd be like whoa what a
Starting point is 00:08:37 little prick and i'm like i can see carl saying that i'm like yeah fair shout um yeah but my boy's got a four gungun camano money leak. I don't even know if there must be a pay rise. It sounds good, doesn't it? Anyway, rang him today just to be like, man, I'm so chuffed for you. There's been times in the last 10 years where the job I've done of driving around
Starting point is 00:08:58 and making people laugh has looked so ridiculous to the fucking time and energy he's had to put into it. It's like mentally back-breaking shit and we were talking for about a minute and he was like never mind that mate how mental is it with the podcast that you've got people all around the country all around the world drinking turbo shandy i thought about this last night, you know, because last night I was literally, I was scrolling through, me and Jade had a bit of a barney last night,
Starting point is 00:09:31 just a little spot that we've since resolved. But I was just like, fuck off. I want some space. Leave me on my fucking own. And I went on the couch. I played FIFA for the bit, but then FIFA was pissing me off. So I turned that off as well.
Starting point is 00:09:44 And I was like, right, I'm just going to do some work. So I sent you, I started rendering the video and started sending you these pods, but then my laptop just does that on its own. I can't use my laptop while it's doing it because it'll slow it down. So I was just doing that mindless scrolling shit. And I was on my Twitter, and
Starting point is 00:10:00 then I was on the podcast's Twitter. And every third interaction we get at the minute is, Oi, oi, I've got some scooch. I've got some beer. I'm having a Turbo Shandy. Turbo Shandys were dead. They were gone.
Starting point is 00:10:15 No one was drinking them. And there's now people around the world. And you can guarantee as well, there's people not listening to this podcast who've either seen one of those tweets or one of their friends listens to the podcast and be like, you know what I've got back into lately turbo shandy i'm telling you what i'm gonna go on the stock market later and if turbo shandy's stock is high someone who i think is late to the pod or is either someone that just follows us because of stand-up got involved in one because
Starting point is 00:10:41 we this has been several like every week there's been several people showing pictures like i can't remember the fucking maverick is that got pink hooch and when i'm trying it i was like oh my god it's like evolution in action gonna be weird that though like i i looked at that and i was like oh my god this guy's a genius but then i imagined having like raspberry in a turbo shanky who dares rodney he who dares i honestly someone had posted a picture and then either one of their mates or somebody follows us non-podcast has gone i don't give a shit what this is meant to be and i think he even tagged in the podcast like putting fucking alcohol pops in a beer is just plain
Starting point is 00:11:25 nonce and it got no likes because everyone that listens to the podcast is like no shut up I've not even tried it it's great I put that question I asked you the wedding one like what am I getting you from the bar I put that on Twitter and it got
Starting point is 00:11:41 hundreds literally of replies of people going I'll have a pint of meretti with a JD and cocaine in this. And one guy replied and said, and I swear to God, if I ever see him, I might punch him. I might just hit him right square in the nose. And I'm going to say it in the voice that I read it in. Well, I would have a pint of beer at a local, well-respected brewery. And I would have the oldest
Starting point is 00:12:06 single malt whiskey from the bar and shots off of children and yanks. I'm going to knock this cunt out. Apparently he's a horse racing expert and he's a fucking bellend. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Play the game or fucking don't. Shots off what? American or what? What does he mean? Trying to't shots off what shots off what American or what what does he mean trying to be funny shots off the kids or Americans oh great a well respected
Starting point is 00:12:32 British man would never have a sambuca he's a prick I don't mind I don't mind that like you're being anti
Starting point is 00:12:40 Sean McLaughlin's got a great bit about the NFL I'm a massive NFL he's like one of the worst things that's ever happened to this bit about the NFL I'm a massive NFL He's like One of the worst things That's ever happened to this country Is the NFL Being played
Starting point is 00:12:48 On British soil And if you went to any one of those games You're essentially A traitor to the crown And it's a great I love that band That's a great Fucking hilarious
Starting point is 00:12:57 That shots That shots are for children and Americans You're like That's not funny And you're wrong It wasn't being funny He was being candid. When someone
Starting point is 00:13:08 posts a game like that on the internet, either play the game or don't say anything. One of our regular listeners is called Jessica Yarwood. She comments on a lot of the stuff on Instagram, right? And she put, I'm normally working weddings because I'm a photographer. Shut up, Jess!
Starting point is 00:13:24 You're not working this wedding. I'm getting you a drink. Shut up! It's a hypothetical, Jess. You've just got to sort of roll with it. It's akin to the would you rather. Well, it doesn't matter. You can't fly or sprint as fast as you seem, Bob.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Well, I'm actually quite fast. I could never run that fast. Fucking libtards talking about things that won't happen you're like oh my lord do you work for disney because your imagination it flies um yeah he was bowled over by the fact that someone in texas is literally posting pictures of turbo shandy and and just just to set that against the fact that he's had a massive promotion it's huge for him he's getting emails from people, all his friends in the Navy
Starting point is 00:14:09 and he honestly wanted to talk about it for about two minutes and then go, fuck me I'm so proud the podcast is doing great work specifically spreading Turbo Shandy joy around the world, because he was at uni with me when the hooch was on tap I remember the fucking bar in the student union and that's where it started
Starting point is 00:14:26 that's where it all began I haven't had another alcoholic drink, nearly all fucking shut down, can't think of another boozy drink just keep going you said you had some but you didn't really offer an opinion I don't know if it's just not got enough of a kick that sounds so alcoholic no I know what you mean.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Like, I still prefer Peroni, but if you have two Peronis, you're on your way. I can have 11 Bud Lights and Drive, so... LAUGHTER I'm all about the combination of, like, the feeling and the tech, like... You know, like if you know, like,
Starting point is 00:15:08 cause obviously a glass of Ribena with ice tastes lovely. It's not all about the taste. I do want to be pissed as well. And like, we've talked about like Carlsberg, Specky brew and fucking drink just down in vodka. That will get you pissed. There is a beautiful midpoint. Isn't there where you're like that tastes good and gets me the level of
Starting point is 00:15:23 hammered that I want to be like, yeah. Can I just say david rowe we got a lot of response from me talking about addiction but then adam talking about his mum and and when she died and how she died and i'm sure you've got some emails episode which was what number was yesterday 53 or or 52. Something like that. 1,798. Yeah, I think it's about that. Friday's episode, essentially. David Rowe sent us an email this morning and just was like, guys, I know it sounds weird, but I feel actually quite proud of you
Starting point is 00:15:55 because I've listened to so much of this podcast and everything that Adam's talking about addiction and Adam talking about his mum. And I started the day nearly welling up in my bed. So I just wasn't expecting it. I just expect like, I don't know what you're expecting the morning. Like something happened in the NFL.
Starting point is 00:16:12 I wonder if there's any money in my bank account. And then some guy I've never met going, guys, I feel really proud of you. I'm like, I was like. We had a few, well, we've had quite a few, to be honest, tweets, messages, emails about yesterday's episode. And I imagine there's still people catching up.
Starting point is 00:16:28 He'll do the same. And I said to you off the recording yesterday, I think we're going to get a bit of a response from that because it's a bit of a gear change from our usual stuff. And it was... I didn't know you were going to tell the story, mate. I didn't know you were going to tell... I thought you were just like...
Starting point is 00:16:42 I thought we were loosely just talking about addiction and whatnot and afterwards i was thinking about like actually i do have instances of people in my life and addiction and stuff but in that moment i was like yeah that the unspoken thing is like that that sort of like addiction that you deal with that you know could be dangerous but you try and get on top of. I really didn't know you were willing to talk about your mum as candidly as you did. I think it was pretty amazing. When I read a few of the emails and
Starting point is 00:17:14 messages we've had, and I'm sorry if you haven't listened to yesterday's episode yet and you've skipped straight to the drinking one and whatever, I would advise you to go back and listen to yesterday's episode because I think it was one of our best ones. But yeah, I've read a few of those emails and people saying oh i can't believe you weren't sort of choking up and uh that you got through it so easily it's quite weird i have sort of like a disassociative state with stories like that now it's almost like i'm retelling a story
Starting point is 00:17:43 that happened to someone else and this sounds so fucking wanky but i feel like i'm not the person that happened to do you know what i mean yeah i absolutely do i feel like i'm telling my best mate's story about his mum who was a drunk and what she went through i it's coping it's coping sometimes i i i have days where i'm consciously thinking of my mom a lot and i'll always tell jade about that i think about my mom quite a lot today and that's when i get quite emotional about it but telling the stories i don't really see it as a an upsetting thing i see it as something that happened and air life's come to an end now so yeah but it's not that's trauma isn't it's trauma. That's how you deal with your fucking child who's dealt with trauma,
Starting point is 00:18:27 and you've gone on to be one of the fucking best acts in comedy in the UK. You only get to that point if you've got a coping mechanism for trauma. Like, I know exactly what you mean. If I think of my mum and the relationship I'd have now, she would be 67. Well, when did we lose her?
Starting point is 00:18:49 Fucking 22 years ago. So she died when she was 45. And she died when I was a child. And I've never known her as an adult. So I was talking to my sister about this because I actually mentioned the podcast yesterday to my sister. She is very very supportive but she's a bit she gets a bit like oh swearing oh no oh god like she's a bit of a
Starting point is 00:19:13 she's totally sound but she can be a little bit of like oh oh that word katie katie nightingale just if you listen now i want to say and if you got it on while you're hoovering and my niece and nephew in there that's got me in trouble and she was like she was talking about the she was because we had a friend at college whose mum drank herself to death weirdly she uh she died when uh claire was 16 and uh she was like yeah the difference is and the reason it's not an easy difference is because like something like cancer is just it's something you get and you it is yeah it happens doesn't it and alcoholism is a whole layer of other sort of emotion and fucking feeling and
Starting point is 00:19:59 everything but i could tell the story now of mum's illness and be like, yep, that happened. Yep, that was, yep, objectively speaking, fucking awful. I wouldn't get caught up about it. But if I start thinking about, oh, I've got a dad, I'm a dad now and I've got a daughter, and what would that be like watching my 67-year-old mum interact with her granddaughter? And then I go, and i can't think about that for very long that weirdly gets me because it's what happened is trauma that's that imagining is
Starting point is 00:20:34 to me very sad that and that's i try not to dwell on that there's literally not a lot of point in doing that because you get into that headspace of like oh how unfair and well everything's fucking life's unfair yeah the one of the times i get a bit sort of choky about me mom is when i think about jade and the fact she never met her because i i i met jade three years after my mom died and despite the fact that my mom was a raging alcoholic, as we discussed yesterday, and Jade doesn't drink. They're so fucking similar in so many ways, and they'd have got on like a house on fire, and it would have made my life harder,
Starting point is 00:21:12 because every time me and Jade had an argument, my mum would have backed it up, and I can fucking guarantee that 100%. And also, mums and dads and everything, they just want someone that's good, don't they? They want someone... What do you want for... Like, if I imagine what Etta's going to be like when she's 20 or 25, the person that she meets,
Starting point is 00:21:30 you can't ever have an idea of what that is. You just want someone who is a good influence in their life, is, like, making their existence better. So it doesn't matter about the booze or, like, your mum would have been like, oh, like oh yeah yeah Jade's good for Adam bang that's it innit I've got a bit of news for you you're gay
Starting point is 00:21:52 I knew it it's better than that remember the game show The Price is Right that was on the telly they're bringing that back and I've just been confirmed as the new host of The Price is Right, that was on the telly. They're bringing that back and I've just been confirmed as the new host of The Price is Right.
Starting point is 00:22:11 What do you mean? The Price is Right, the Bruce Forsyth show. What? That's coming back and I'm going to be the new host of it. On Have A Word The Podcast! We are changing The Price is to the penis size is right we were talking about dead mothers 38 seconds ago and i went fuck this lids we've had enough
Starting point is 00:22:37 of this shit time for some bands it's time for some bands with Adam and Lyd. So if anyone who hasn't listened to last week's Lockdown Lock-In is listening, last week I invented a penis-sized themed game show called Who Wants to Be a Willionaire? It's never sat well with me, that name, you know. You know why? Because I always think of Will Duggan. For some reason, I just think of our mate Will Duggan.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Who wants to be a willionette? And then I think of dicks and Will Duggan. So, this week, a very similar theme. We're going with average dick sizes of the countries of the world. But, to the theme of the price is right. So the game is called The Penis Size is Right.
Starting point is 00:23:23 The penis size is right. So, here's how it Penis Size is Right. The penis size is right. So here's how it's going to work. You're obsessed with dick size around countries now. This is like your whole thing. Oh, mate. But it's fucking fascinating, isn't it? So what I'm going to do is I'm going to tell you at the start, I'm going to give you a country.
Starting point is 00:23:39 The country is going to be China. And they have got, on average, 4.3 inches of dick. Then I'll give you another country. Are they not red? Are China not red? Yeah, they are red. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As red as their fucking flag, kids. Oh, and then you give me a country.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Oh, yes. And you've got to guess whether it's higher or lower. Oh, Adam, yeah. I'll tell you what, I was a little worried that you were flogging a dead horse with this one, but you've done changed the motherfucking game, yeah. I'll tell you what. I was a little worried that you were flogging a dead horse with this one, but you've done changed the motherfucking game, son. Ooh, la, la, la. There's one, two, three, four, five, six, there's seven higher all hours, right?
Starting point is 00:24:19 And for the first one, you'll win 50p. The second one, you'll win a pound. Oh, thank you. You owe me a tenner. We all know you owe me a tenner. Go on. Then five, then'll win 50p. The second one, you'll win a pound. Oh, fucking... You owe me a tenner. We all know you owe me a tenner. Go on. Then five, then seven, then ten. However far you get, when you lose,
Starting point is 00:24:32 that's what you've won. And then you'll have to have a chance to go double or nothing in the dick case dick down, where I'm going to tell you the names of six countries, and I want you to guess their total average dick size and you can be up to one inch shorter but not one millimetre over.
Starting point is 00:24:53 What is going on? It's The Price is Right with Adam Rosyth. Was he TV presenting when he was 86 i think he was 186 unbelievable they can't be boozers these fuckers you know like ronnie colbert who's still doing tv shows at 79 you're like you can't be a boozer my family are coming off, I'm playing dick games. So, Dan Nightingale, China, on average,
Starting point is 00:25:30 every man in China, on average, has an average penis of 4.3 inches. Do you think Jamaica is higher or lower? I think you've bowled me an underarm here to start here, Bruce. And I'm going to say Jamaica is higher than China. They've got bigger dicks. There we go.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Jamaica is higher with a whopping 6.4 inches. You've won 50 pence. The old bunting. Go on. Yes. Next up, we have Ireland. Do you think Ireland are higher or lower
Starting point is 00:26:08 than Jamaica no Jesus no I got some good friends and they're fucking Emerald Island now you look at me boy and you don't fuck this up you don't fuck this up for me lad I'm afraid my brothers
Starting point is 00:26:22 you know historically the English have been fucking tyrants to the Irish and obviously Adam's from that fucking heritage and I am as Anglo-Saxon as they come so that's partly more on me there's a lot of guilt on this side of the Irish Sea
Starting point is 00:26:39 at least we let you call it the Irish Sea so that is a little bit of concession isn't it could have been the Welsh Sea. Never mind. Answer the fucking question. I'm going to add to it. I'm going to add to it. Since what?
Starting point is 00:26:49 The year 1230. Fucking 800 years of oppression. I'm going to add to it by saying you've got smaller dicks than Jamaica. I'm going lower. So you're going to gamble your 50 pence and you're going to say that Ireland has a smaller dick on average than Jamaica. Of course, we're not saying with this that the biggest dick in Ireland is not bigger
Starting point is 00:27:08 than the biggest dick in Jamaica wouldn't you love to see wouldn't you love to see if it was like weirdly it just existed all the pictures of the biggest dicks of the one you know like the heavyweight dick champion of the British
Starting point is 00:27:23 heavyweight dick champion the the British heavyweight dick champion, the Jamaican heavyweight dick champion. I honestly, I'm sorry, boys. Oh, Jesus, I don't think you're going to beat the fucking lads from the other island. You know, the lads from the island over there with a load of fucking cricket, you know, and a fucking bifters.

Starting point is 00:35:02 All right, yeah, Paki's done. Let's get it. Oh, you're back to the serious fucking workout. This is how I make my living. You can't shout at me, Laura. Pakistan, on average, has a 4.8-inch dick. But, oh, Australia, higher or lower. Oh.
Starting point is 00:35:23 But are Australia higher or lower? Oh, shit. Now we're in the fucking testy times, aren't we? Four quintets in Pakistan on average. I've never seen any Australian pornography. I tried to reference that in my mental mind with pornography. I know, admittedly, not seen a lot of Pakistani porn. But I don't think I've ever seen Australian porn. Oh, fucking...
Starting point is 00:35:53 Come over here, boy. Oh, he likes you. Oh, he fucking likes you. You're fucking dirty. If you've been to the beach, you've got sand everywhere. Australia. Now, you've got to consider...
Starting point is 00:36:08 It's us, innit? It's us. I'm sorry, Australia. You're just a fucking cousin that wandered off. It's us, and it's also Aborigines as well. They will have been taken into account, I imagine. I very much doubt they fucking would have, you know? Because they're a massively depleted population
Starting point is 00:36:26 and I don't think they've had their dicks inspected. Have you been eating vegetables? No, I just remember asking my mate Ro Campbell once about the racism towards Aborigines. We were drinking like fucking... We were hammered in New Zealand and I was talking about the aborigines and he i thought of him once didn't you yeah he did and i absolutely served him and um
Starting point is 00:36:51 he told me some stuff about aborigines he's like he he used to be mates with someone from the aborigine community he was very serious you know when you booze him with someone and then it just takes and row is an Australian comedian very very funny guy he's rubbed some people up the wrong way in comedy but I think he's a
Starting point is 00:37:10 very fucking good comic and I've always liked him and it was one of those where I didn't realise I'd pressed one of his buttons and I was like I we were just talking
Starting point is 00:37:21 he can talk about all the I can talk to Ro like me and Adam talk, but for some reason, because he'd seen the racism towards someone from the Aboriginal community that he'd known from where he was from, he had no humour about the subject,
Starting point is 00:37:36 and I ended up in a 20-minute bollocking accidentally in a bar in New Zealand. I was like, I don't know how I got here, but I am not the white guys who've ever bullied Aborigines because I have never been to Australia and there's none in Preston Australia I
Starting point is 00:37:53 want. Are they bigger or smaller than the 4.8 inch average of Pakistan? Oh fuck me it's gotta be bigger it's got to be bigger I want it to be bigger. I'm going bigger. Go on, Australia.
Starting point is 00:38:09 You get this right, you've won a fiver. Take that fucking fiver and put it to the 15 quid. And you have got it right, Dan Nightingale! You are now the proud owner of £5. Australia, on average, is 5.2 inches, almost a full half inch bigger than those of Pakistan. Now, here's where it gets interesting. You only need two to go.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Only two to go. I feel I've done well. Even if I lose at this point, I feel like I'm a quarter-finalist, aren't I? I feel like if your family listens to this, they'll be proud of you. Oh, totally. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Do you know, my granddad has said several times now, how do I listen to this internet radio show you do? And I'm like, listen, I don't want to, I don't, if the roner finishes him off, that's one thing. I don't want him listening to this podcast. What's a turbo nonce? He goes's my heritage my bloodline my bloodline's not bad go on france higher or lower than australia france for some reason i want it to be lower i want it to be lower because it would, how do you say,
Starting point is 00:39:27 satisfy some weird Western European racism within myself that has been passed down from, you know, the Hundred Years' War. I'd love to... Can you give me some information on this? So, Australia, 5.2 inches... Do you reckon they've got stinky dicks, the French? Yeah, I reckon they smell like frogs and cheese oh no no that's too far just a little bit sweaty like this is the smell of my my balls my balls why uh no oh no woman should flinch you know that's the smell of a man
Starting point is 00:40:02 french cheese is is aged beautifully. Strong. I'm going to give you some information on this one. So Australia, as we've established, have got a 5.2 average. Pretty decent, isn't it? It's pretty decent. The nearest countries to France

Starting point is 00:41:22 you'd have been doing GCC Arabic it's time for Havoherd with Hadam and Khan Are you just saying I look spammy? No, because I think you'd have been doing GCC Arabic. It's time for Havohud with Hadam and Khan. Scouse and Arabic have a lot in common, don't they? They have that... Scousers, Arabs and the Tasmanian devil. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A Scouser saying Javi Alonso sounds like a call to prayer.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Javi Alonso. Javi Alonso. He was fucking good, wasn't he? Mate, I know we don't talk about football, but I've had a beer. He could ping a pass. Do you know Tom Huddleston is not in the same league, but Tom Huddleston could ping a pass. Just be in the middle of the park and be like,

Starting point is 00:42:31 when he was just at the halfway line it was the FA Cup game and Luton's ground is such a piece of shit and I say that as a Watford fan and Xavi Alonso was like oh look he's slightly off his line ping and it was just like he was fucking around
Starting point is 00:42:43 it looked like he was on it looked like to Shea Given at Newcastle as well he scored from the halfway line against Newcastle as well as Luton random point out of nowhere I reckon Shea Given's sound

Starting point is 00:45:01 Go on. That was them saying no. Final question in this round before we go to the Dick K stick down ok I can't wait for the Dick K stick down higher or lower than France Greece and I'll tell you
Starting point is 00:45:18 it's lower there is 0.1 inches difference between France and Greece. It's a very small difference. So Greece is either 5.6 or 5.8. This is for 10 pounds.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Am I allowed to phone a friend? I'd fucking love you to phone a friend. I'm going to ring Commander Matt Rees please do because he's travelled the world as a commander this is my brother hey mate you're on the Have A Word podcast hello Matt this is Adam Rowe

Starting point is 00:46:12 it's a dick based length game and I know you're there with the penis size is right yeah the penis size is right and by the way am I allowed to tell everyone
Starting point is 00:46:20 you've been promoted to commander so long as you've only referred to me as the commander and not by my only referred to me as the commander and not by my name right yeah all right well the commander's doing really well um right i'm in a tricky one spot here now i know this is pertinent to you because you're married to a french woman so i know what you want this answer to be okay who has a bigger dick size? The French or the Greek?
Starting point is 00:46:45 Is that right, Adam? Am I getting that right? That's the question. I can hear the lads kicking off in the back like, Daddy, what are you doing? Talking to my moron. The French or the Greek? Who has the bigger dick?
Starting point is 00:46:57 Matt, can you hear me? Are we talking length? Can you hear Adam, Matt? No, I can't hear Adam. I can only hear you. All right, so... Okay, I can't hear Adam. I can only hear you. Alright, so... Okay, so tell him that France on average has a 5.6... Just length, Matt.
Starting point is 00:47:12 So France on average is 5.7 and Greece is either 5.6 or 5.8. I'm going to go French. I know I shouldn't. You think the French have bigger dicks? Than the Greeks, yeah. My natural instinct was to go slightly smaller. Matthew, you've been an absolute belter. Commander Steve, shit, sorry. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:47:34 You're doing fine. Could you imagine if you didn't get promoted? Because I fucking, never mind. I love you. See you. Peace out, bye. See you, bye. So, you're going to go with his answer

Starting point is 00:51:00 I just have a five-ish feeling. Haiti is not far from Panama, and those boys are big. I'm giving them a 6.4-ish. Right? Ethiopia, I think I tried last week to claim Ethiopia had small dicks, and you're like, oh, actually, they're not that small. Ethiopia were not on last week's quiz. No, no, no, but they have been mentioned.
Starting point is 00:51:24 No, Egypt were. Egypt, that's quiz. No, no, no, but they have been mentioned. No, Egypt were. Egypt, that's a different African country. Ethiopia, they're hungry, aren't they? You know, they've had the famines. Have they eaten their own dicks? Does that affect their life?

Starting point is 00:52:10 They have a structure. They're hung low. If they pull their shit out, every white man loses a farm. Ukraine? I mean, even if they had big dicks, I think Russians would steal the dicks off them.
Starting point is 00:52:25 I just don't think they're going to be allowed. I think they'd get dick poisoned. What guess did you have at Zimbabwe? What was the actual number you gave it? 6.2. And Ukraine? Ukraine. They're in the Caucasus.
Starting point is 00:52:45 What were we? What were we? What were we? What are we? UK. Yeah. 5.5. Oh, fuck. 5.4 for Ukraine.

Starting point is 00:54:00 Ukraine at 5.4. That's 28.3. i right yeah and romania 5.8 that's 34.1 am i am i right 5.8 for romania yeah 5.8 so 34 so 34.1 is that the total that's what you've got as your total. Right now. No, no, no.

Starting point is 00:55:08 countdown maths eh so at the minute I felt pressure there because you're good at maths I was like don't fuck this up Dan come on kid right if this total is anywhere from 33.1 to 34.1 you would win if you locked this in as your final answer
Starting point is 00:55:24 if it's anything other than that, you would lose. Let's go over them. Iceland, it's a fair five. It's fucking cold in Iceland, though. Right, I'm taking 0.2 off for Iceland. Minus 0.2. Haiti, 6.4. Them boys are big.
Starting point is 00:55:39 I'm keeping that. Ethiopia, don't know. Zimbabwe, I don't know why Zimbabwe would be so much bigger than Ethiopia. I think they're better fed. Farms. Ukraine 5.4, Romania 33.1. I'm going to take it down. Bruce, I'm going to take it down to 32.9.
Starting point is 00:55:58 I'm taking 0.2 off Iceland because it's fucking freezing up there in Reykjavik. Northern Lights. Small dick sights. 32.9 is my final answer. Go on, mate and girl.
Starting point is 00:56:15 You're a winner! It's so emotional. I cannot believe that you've got that right and you nearly nearly got it wrong the point two is it the point two no you had it right anyway but if you'd have took another point two off
Starting point is 00:56:40 you'd have lost so the correct answer is 33.8. Right? You ended up with 32.9. Mate, I tell you, say what you want about me. I know my international dick.
Starting point is 00:57:02 I'll tell you as well, you got one of them bang on, which was Ethiopia at 5.3. And you got so many of these so close. I can't believe it. So what did you say for Iceland? You took it down to what? 4.8?
Starting point is 00:57:20 I called it 5, but I took 0.2 off for it being cold. So 4.8. They're actually 5.7. Yeah. Oh, shit. I forgot the heritage of Iceland. It's all fucking Viking dick, innit?

Starting point is 01:03:26 I just want to do it because a guy called Dair Walsh D-A-I-R-E the lads from Ireland how you saying that there fucking Adam Dair
Starting point is 01:03:37 Dair Dair Walsh fucking Dair Walsh you know Dair Walsh from down near the flats he's been writing into that fucking podcast from Liverpool. The fucking...
Starting point is 01:03:48 The English lads. Dara Walsh. Hi, lads. I'm from Ireland, and my mate got me onto the show last week, and I've binged all the episodes over the weekend so far. Absolutely fucking class. Anyway, here's my story. The first time I ever got drunk
Starting point is 01:04:05 was when I was 27 I mean there's so much that goes against every stereotype I've heard in British comedy for the last fucking 20 years in that first sentence of the paragraph because I think Adam will agree and there's some fucking brilliant Irish comedians
Starting point is 01:04:23 knocking about on the UK comedy circuit, but a lot of them are like, oh, Jesus, no. We fucking love a drink. We don't, you know. Irish people, we love a drink. The first time I got drunk was when I was 27, and it was the night before I was to be married to my beautiful wife.
Starting point is 01:04:40 Oh, Jesus. Why would you do that the night before come on do you know what I did the night before my wedding I got Matt Rees Bondi, Sean, my best men and we went and had
Starting point is 01:04:57 a Nando's and then they all watched films and took the piss out of me as I quickly typed up the last of my speech it was not a drinking session. Why would you do that to yourself? I've only been to two weddings so far. What?
Starting point is 01:05:13 You're 28 though, you're only just ticking into the zone, mate. Honestly, you, in about two or three years, you'll go, oh, fuck another. It gets like that. I bet I was the same in 2008. I've been to a couple, and then it just starts rolling.
Starting point is 01:05:32 First wedding I went to was Paul Blair, owner, founder, legend of Hot Water Comedy Club, and I was a groomsman. And the second wedding I went to was Paul Smith, compere, comedian, and legend of Hot Water Comedy Club. And I was his co-best man with Paul Blair. Keep it close. Keep it tight. Good fun.
Starting point is 01:05:55 Did you have to do a speech? Do you know what I did? So obviously Paul Blair said there was 12 groomsmen. So it was just his best man that did a speech. But a Paul Smith's wedding, me and Paul Blairir were both best men and because i was the comedian i didn't want to be seen as try hard and trying to be funny so paul blair did a funny story a funny speech and i did like a heartfelt nice one you know that sounds so counterintuitive almost if you listen to that go but adam you're dead funny it is not easy being a comedian uh when you're meant to be doing a speech at a wedding
Starting point is 01:06:35 because everyone goes oh well you're bound to be funny because you're a comedian and their whole like their sympathy and it changes like if it's like oh it's you know it's darren who's been his mate since school he's dead nervous the whole room's like blessed darren he's such a lovely lad he's like oh i tell you when we got drunk and fell over and i was like oh darren you, you know him. As soon as they're like, he's a professional comedian, so this better be good. Go on then. What's that? Don't get that. Do you know who I feel sorry for?
Starting point is 01:07:13 Carl, my best mate. When I get married, whether it's to that thing in the next room or something else. What the world needs now is love, sweet love. Not just for you, Jade, but forevermore. Carl will be my best man.
Starting point is 01:07:31 And I've always, since I was a little girl, pictured a big wedding. There'll be a lot of comedians at my wedding. And Carl's going to have to do a best man speech to a room full of my family and a chunk of professional comedians. Yeah, and you know what? Most of them will be really nice about it because A, Carl's likeable, but also he's a civilian. And everyone's like,
Starting point is 01:07:54 yeah, he's a fucking civilian. He's not going to do what he can do. Flip it around, you doing a speech at Carl's wedding, different fucking vibe. It's so hard. And everyone's like, well, you know how to do comedy, don't you? No, what I know how to do is have an idea that might be funny,
Starting point is 01:08:12 and then one out of four ideas is funny. Three out of the four ideas, the first time I say them, sound like fucking idiotic gobbledygook, and I never say them again. A wedding speech is a whole load of new material to a crowd who aren't there for comedy fuck me it's like doing new material not a comedy my best man speech to a new material nice guys i know you don't know him but his name His name's Carl. He's always messing up. One time, he was sick on his grandma.
Starting point is 01:08:50 When Matt got married to his French missus, I was doing a best man speech. Kynan, the other best man, two best men. Kynan, he did some bands, and some of it was fine, and some of it was like you could almost you could almost see the change in the font from what he'd copied and pasted off the internet and some of it was okay and then he went you know what it's not really my job uh to be a comedian because and then he
Starting point is 01:09:17 pointed all the way down the top table and because dan's about to do his best man speech and he's a professional comedian. And the whole room went... Now, Matt has married a beautiful French girl called Marion, who's now his wife, and they're very happy. They're wonderful people. And she brought along, unsurprisingly, quite a lot of French family from Marseille. And I saw what was coming with these... Five and a half inch dicks.
Starting point is 01:09:42 So, yeah, Matt, even the women matt had is a french speaker so he did half of his speech in english and half of his speaking speech in french which i don't give a shit if it's your best mate it's impressive i wanted to hate it but i was like yeah fuck well played i'd sort of predicted this so i had been in the day the speeches were quite late on i'd been boozing with one of Marion's mates, and we'd been getting on really well, two of her mates, both French, and I said to her, do you know what, I can see a problem coming with this speech, two-thirds of this fucking room are French, and I'm just going to dick on, trying to make a bell end of my mate, and just be nice about
Starting point is 01:10:18 him, and also a few jokes, and it's, they're just, it's going to die, so I'll, I'll build a bridge, and I'll do some like, French stuff at the start, the start i was like if i could you be my translator for the first bit and i'll sort of apologize for not being able to speak french and she was like yeah yeah and i was like fucking brilliant i was like whatever i say could you just say in french so i thought i'll ad lib that it'll be fine so i walked on and I was like first of all I'd like to apologise to all of Maureen's family I don't speak French and then
Starting point is 01:10:48 what was she called she was called Maureen or something and then she translated it French Lady that was her name wasn't it French Lady Claudette
Starting point is 01:10:58 probably Claudette and then I was like it's basically because you know at school I was so attractive to the girls I couldn't concentrate on work because there was women all over me no one laughed in the English part And then I was like, it's basically because, you know, at school, I was so attractive to the girls.
Starting point is 01:11:07 I couldn't concentrate at work because there was women all over me. No one laughed in the English part. And then she, she like did it in French and all the French people were like, this is funny because he is not attractive. And I, mate, I tell you what, French audiences that what they will laugh at as long as it's in French is a lower bar than what English people will laugh at
Starting point is 01:11:27 I started riffing pretty well and also like Claudette not her name was doing a great job we went on for about two minutes
Starting point is 01:11:36 and I was ripping I was like brilliant I know when you've run out of shit I was like thank you and now I'll do my speech I just had a short speech, didn't write it down.
Starting point is 01:11:46 I just had a few points of where Matt's clearly a bellend. I love him to bits, but he is a bellend, and this is why he's a great guy. And the rest of the speech died on its fucking hoop because those two-thirds of the room who were French were like, this is brilliant, this guy's going to do it for us as well. And when I stopped, it was more annoying to them they were like i've never it was the hardest like feeling of dying on your hoop ever adam has just stuck on a have a word pod sticker on his to a foot on his forehead and now i think
Starting point is 01:12:19 he's the most drunk he's ever been on this podcast. Do you know what's funny about that? When you got those stickers printed, you said to me, a girl at one of the shows stuck it on her forehead and she was like, hey, on iPhone, and you were like, no, it's a waste of a fucking sticker. And now, two months later, look who's got a sticker on his head.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Yeah, but it's only a waste if I ever take it off. Alright. are we halfway through the boy darryl's fucking story no oh yeah i forgot you were first time i got drunk was when i was 27 it was the night before i was to be married to my beautiful wife oi knobheads everyone listen stag do three months before the wedding the then all the stitches can heal you can get your fucking, you know, the passport back you can get back to the country the morning of, I was feeling like death
Starting point is 01:13:14 obviously it's his first ever hangover, he's 27, it's hit him like a train I had followed the advice of all my mates who had experience of this sort of thing, and after all of their remedies failed they've all just been like, oh, you need to do this, all of our hangover fucking cures. One of them convinced me that the best option was to get drunk again.
Starting point is 01:13:37 No, listen to me now. Damn fucking, you're my boy. I'm not going to fuck around with you. No, listen to me now. You need to just get straight on the fucking booth. Do I? Yeah, it's the only way now. Everything else has failed.
Starting point is 01:13:51 I stupidly took his advice. I wasn't that bad during the ceremony, and I got through it quite well. It's at the reception when things got messy. During my father-in-law's speech, oh my God, I've just remembered this story, I grabbed the mic and started talking down it and basically let slip what I intended to do
Starting point is 01:14:14 to my wife once we were alone. No! If that wasn't bad enough, I even suggested her sisters come and join in. No, he didn't. I'm very... He's put this. I'm very lucky my beautiful wife saw the funny side,
Starting point is 01:14:34 but in six years of marriage, I haven't seen her family since that day, and I cannot imagine I will see them anytime soon. That is... Fucking bellend. So fucking wonderful. I hope that's true. Oh, come on.
Starting point is 01:14:56 I mean, I just think we've got to suspend all disbelief. I don't see... Do you know, there's some emails we get, and I'm like, I call a little bit of bullshit. Anyway, you know, the, my proudest moment that Craig sent in the other day where he basically put gay porn on the computer,
Starting point is 01:15:11 the check, the, like the seating computer of a restaurant where they thought it was average. Yeah. So I said on the pod, I hope it's true. He literally screenshotted the text message of the member of staff who found it and went mate. And it's funny because you can see the conversation of like the text message of the member of staff who found it and went mate and it's funny
Starting point is 01:15:26 because you can see the conversation of like the last bit of conversation then he's like fuck me you've got to call me right now something amazing has happened and he's i've he's screenshot just to be like i'm no no shit it's totally true i honestly think the people who email in we're not like i'm not saying something can't get through the net, but I think we're quite perceptive of what's bullshit and what's not, and I think that's true, because I just think if you were making it up, you'd fake it. The first time he got drunk, he was 27. Like, what were you thinking the night before you got married?
Starting point is 01:15:58 And when his mate was like, hey, listen there, boy, fucking listen to me now. You're in a bad state. What you need to do, fuck the hair of the dog, drink the whole fucking dog. That's how we do it. Get a dog, fucking drink the cunt. You need the fucking dog of the dog.
Starting point is 01:16:14 That's what you need. Fuck the hair of the dog. You just need the dog. Fucking double dog. So I got a WhatsApp about two hours ago from a guy that I know through comedy. He was like, mate, I've got a hangover story, but I am worried to tell it to you because I just feel like it's going to end badly. And I was like, well, dude, we'll just change your name and we'll change all the names. He was like, he went, yes, dickhead.
Starting point is 01:16:43 I know that I'm talking about, I'm, yes, dickhead. I know that. I'm talking about, I'm worried about, I'm worried about being judged because the person who's messaged me is still a Muslim. So he's not worried about some fuckwit finding out. He's worried about God finding out. I'll change the name. He's like, yeah, but someone will know. You know, the guy that's watching.
Starting point is 01:17:05 Someone, he already knows. Yeah, exactly. So what's the story? Right. Morning glory. So my boy here, I'm not going to use his name. He was quite a devout Muslim in the late 90s and was actually so devout,
Starting point is 01:17:24 he was doing the training to become an imam one day and uh and one of his very very close mates was also really really devout but a young muslim lad who was quite confused and ended up going to university and as he left to go to university he was absolutely set on that one day he'd be an imam and he'd be, you know, committed to the cause of Islam. And when he got to university... For anyone listening who doesn't know what an imam is... An imam?
Starting point is 01:17:56 An imam. Like, it's like the end-of-level boss of Muslims. Is it an imam? it is isn't it? yeah yeah yeah sorry yeah I just don't I don't want to get any of this wrong
Starting point is 01:18:12 because he's told me the story if you think of it in Sonic the Hedgehog he's Dr. Robotnik and he's the boss oh yeah yeah mosque wise he's absolutely Dr. Robotnik
Starting point is 01:18:21 all I can see is yellow fucking rings flying everywhere. So the young lad, not my mate, has gone off to university and straight away found booze and realised he's got a fucking affinity to the drink there. So he's been going and getting absolutely shit faced on a weekend and then coming back feeling guilty like having hangover guilt and basically repenting to allah and going oh no i am a muslim i just no no i know i know it went big friday and saturday but no no no i am a
Starting point is 01:19:01 muslim is definitely i'm a definitely mus. And then he's basically Muslim midweek. And then he gets to Friday. He's like, oh, fuck it. They've got some tunes on me. I can't be a Muslim in spoons. And this has been going on for quite a while. So they basically lost touch. And when they reconnected, he was like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:20 When you say they lost touch, were him and God? No, no, no. So my friend who sent this story through and the lad the protagonist in the tale they've lost touch and when they reconnected the lads told him this story it's like at the height of it he was basically boozing so fucking hard and then repenting after the weekend and like trying to get back on the straight and narrow which is basically what all of us do don't we we drink hard and then weing after the weekend and like trying to get back on the straight and narrow which is basically what all of us do don't we we drink hard and then we're like do you know what
Starting point is 01:19:49 i'm gonna wake up i'm gonna change i'm just gonna get over them tomorrow i might go jogging i might get a rowing machine but he's been doing the sort of like theological version of it as a as a young muslim like i need to get back with god and i've sinned and that's fine so he's been fucking drinking in Birmingham this one Saturday night and absolutely he's hammered and he's in a taxi on his way back and he's gone through a bit of suburban Birmingham and it's like summertime it's about 3 34 in the morning and he's seen some of his Muslim brothers heading into a mosque and in that moment he's seen them in their like full attire and he's gone fuck you've done it again but he's still drunk he's still on the way back from a night out he's gone fuck you've done it again and but this time when you repent
Starting point is 01:20:36 you need to do it properly you need to actually do it in a mosque fuck it and he's gone to the taxi driver stop the car stop the car i need to get out he's paid the taxi driver and stop the car, stop the car, I need to get out, he's paid the taxi driver, and he's followed the Muslim guys into a mosque, so they've gone in, he's seen where they've gone in, he's gone in, and just sort of stumbled in, now, this is the summertime in Birmingham, apparently, for devout Muslims, the first prayer of the day, if you're really devout, is early, it's like sunrise, and in the middle of summer,'s fucking early so he's gone in they've already started the first prayer and he's just gone in and joined just joined the back line and started praying he's got the full way through the first prayer i wish i knew how long that was
Starting point is 01:21:17 i'm guessing it's a wee while he's been doing the prayer going down coming back up doing which in his state of alcoholism has not been that great for him. And as they've ended the first prayer, he stood up and puked all over the fucking carpet of the mosque, like absolutely vombed everywhere. And they all turned and were like aghast that one of their brothers has started puking in the mosque so badly that the imam has stopped the prayers,
Starting point is 01:21:50 basically not continued the service and gone, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, fuck, he must be. And then they were trying to like talk to him because he was still pissed. He's trying to explain what's happened. And he's like, oh, fucking, I'm just fucking, I'm fucking absolutely fucking hammered and because they've no concept of why someone would be that pissed in a mosque they've assumed
Starting point is 01:22:12 that he's been talking in tongues and gone oh christ is he's possessed he's possessed by a demon now my mate told me that the name of the demon in islam is a dejin right the imam went he he has a dejin in him it's like a almost like a supernatural being like a fucking demon this is the best story i've ever heard by the way i just want to put that out there i love i love that he's drunk and stated he's he's been trying to go i'm gonna fucking waste it i am a muslim but i don't fucking waste it and they've gone what is he saying he must have a demon in him, and they didn't bollock him, they weren't suspicious, they didn't know it was alcohol related, the smell of the alcohol, they were completely unaware of, because they've never been around anyone that's stunk of alcohol
Starting point is 01:23:01 that much, they apparently started, at one point, they started spraying Atar on him, which is like a Persian Arabic scent, because they thought it was a smell that was coming from the demon. And instead of bollocking him for being drunk, they tried to exorcise him. They tried to do an exorcism in the mosque. So is this dickhead at five, probably 4.35 in the morning now, in the mosque in So is this dickhead
Starting point is 01:23:25 at 5, probably 4.35 in the morning now in the mosque? I'm going to try this next time I come home. Two drunken jades pissed off. You're fucking hammered, aren't you? Babe, it's a fucking demon. I swear to God. This is a beast. This is a demon.
Starting point is 01:23:41 Who's been sitting in my J2O all night and now he's in my belly it's a jinn i know it's the jinn i know it no it's a jinn it's a muslim supernatural how bad would that be as you're sobering up i realize it because once you've puked you start sobering up really quickly being surrounded by muslim brothers in a mosque and they're doing an exorcism this is the best bit they send him home they get him home and they tell his dad oh he's got a demon in him and his dad knows exactly what the demon is right but didn't want he didn't want any of the embarrassment or shame being brought in the family so they were
Starting point is 01:24:22 like he came into the mosque to pray pray obviously because he's a good muslim but we think he might be possessed by demons so you're gonna have to look after him for two weeks the mosque sent clerics around hang on is that what they do in islam what is that the prescribed course this is your son he's got a he's got a demon in him you just need to keep an eye on him for two weeks. Check his temperature every now and then. Loads of paracetamol, plenty of fluid. Yeah, and loads of exorcism. Two exorcisms with a glass of water
Starting point is 01:24:53 for two weeks. Muslims treat demons like we treat FCDs. Plenty of fluid. Take this once a day at six o'clock. favorite bit of this story is it went on for two weeks clerics kept coming to the house because they were like it needs to be exercised they need we need to finish the exorcism and all from apparently from the first minute his dad knew exactly what it was because his dad fucking knew but his dad didn't want to lose face so went along with it for two weeks
Starting point is 01:25:25 and had the guys coming around trying to get rid of the demon. They're like, oh, yeah, I think the demon's nearly gone now. Fucking prick. Yeah, yeah, yeah, demon's nearly gone. I'm telling you, he's not going back to university. This bell end. That's fucking phenomenal. Oh, Jesus. I tell you you what i've heard some oh i got drunk and i was and i was hung over stories but when he sent me that he literally whatsapped me and was like look
Starting point is 01:25:55 can i just run this by you because i don't want to write it all out and then you'd be like no we're not going to do it i was like mate can i instead of you writing it out can I just retell it how you've told me rather than me being like I want this to happen fuck will you do me a favour right now will you whatsapp me

Starting point is 01:28:09 but I'm like hang on you're definitely brothers when I met him I was like oh yeah yeah that makes sense I don't think it's worth I've turned me down I don't think it's worth putting it back on for a half a word section necessarily I don't think it's worth... I've turned me calm and rough. I don't think it's worth putting it back on for a have a word section. Necessarily.
Starting point is 01:28:33 It's time for have a word with Adam and Dan. I'm out of breath. Just come up to the stage. Enjoy to play this. Yes. Let's have a word. It's time to have a word with Adam and Dan. Tell us all the problems you have with your friends.

And I know I've got to go and clean the fucking living room once we're done today. So what are you taking photos of? I'm drunk. I want to take a selfie. once we're done today. So,

Starting point is 01:29:17 doesn't wake me up at four in the morning. What? It's time for Have a way with the problems you have with your problems with your friend
Starting point is 01:29:27 this is supposed to be two all of them first one's a quick one and it's fucking people like you Dan Nightingale that's the target of it street party in it
Starting point is 01:29:44 March 6th I've had quite a few of these Nightingale. That's the target of it. Oh, street party, innit? Marxist. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've had quite a few of these. Have a word with people who had a garden party for VE Day. Nobody knew what the fuck VE Day was until yesterday. It's just an excuse to get pissed with your neighbours.
Starting point is 01:30:00 Laura had to be, Laura just went don't tell anyone, but I don't actually know what VE Day is, I was like alright no one knows what it is though, I walked through now you've got to remember you do though, you do know what VE Day is, surely
Starting point is 01:30:16 you didn't celebrate it last year I don't celebrate it you did yesterday though the reason they've moved the celebration happened is yeah because they've
Starting point is 01:30:27 moved a bank holiday onto it they've done it on purpose because it's a special year it's the 75th the reason people celebrated it is because they're
Starting point is 01:30:33 fucking bored in their houses and they wanted an excuse to get pissed I think it would have happened anyway I think there would have been a few little parties
Starting point is 01:30:40 anyway but it's been totally exaggerated exaggerated bullshit bullshit do you not think there would have been little parties anyway, but it's been totally exaggerated. Exaggerated. Do you not think there would have been street parties for VE Day on a special Friday bank holiday when the weather
Starting point is 01:30:53 was like that? Are you sure? Yeah, well, I don't think... Especially where I am. I've told you a few times on this pod that this is a scouse, not English thing. There's not really a British identity in Liverpool because we feel disenfranchised from central government. I walked my dog yesterday to the park
Starting point is 01:31:12 and on the way back, I walked down a main road and there was about fucking 15, 20 houses all right next to each other having a big street party with British flags in the fucking window. We don't put England flags up during the fucking World Cup. People just wanted to get pissed with their mates. And you know what?
Starting point is 01:31:30 I'm beyond judging them. I think people need to feel human again. And obviously there'll be a lot of people listening to this going, whoa, nice one, yeah, because you need to feel human. We've risked the fucking health of a nation because of COVID fucking 19. But you're like yeah but a lot of those people have played the game for like eight weeks and watch other people take the fucking piss and not play the game and they wanted to sit in their front gardens and
Starting point is 01:31:57 have a street party they're not finger banging the neighbor they're just drinking in and around it like also i get it there's got to be a little bit of a like go on every newspaper at the minute is on monday lockdown eases you'll be able to go and fuck your mom's dog again get ready for that like and people see that and they go well if i can do it on monday why can't i do it on fucking friday like it's fine a lot of people are really are really waiting for a huge change to be announced on sunday and i i've got i think they've got the roadmap to the ease in the lockdown is not going to be a massive gear shift on sunday i don't think i think it's going to be like look there's going to be a slight like
Starting point is 01:32:41 easing of like this is what you can do exercise-wise. I think the bigger changes are coming three weeks down the line if everything keeps going as it is. I think people are looking at Sunday thinking it's going to be a massive change. But I would say this about last night. I think in that little moment, you get this release of the pressure of like, fuck me, we have been in, we've not driven to see family, we've not done this.
Starting point is 01:33:09 As long as you're not, if you've not got symptoms and everything, I'm not trying to sound irresponsible and I'm not saying you should be hugging your neighbor or anything, but that bit of human contact, it's so important because there is something else at work here. I know the virus is serious, but people's mental health is in the bin
Starting point is 01:33:26 and you'll lose lives to that as well. It sounds like I'm being melodramatic, but people are fucking isolated, lonely, sad, depressed, deteriorating. People don't know what to believe. There's such an amalgamation of misinformation at the minute. Nobody I know trusts the government. There's no one I know on a personal level. I've seen tweets from fucking accounts that have got a fucking sports card as their profile picture who do and whatever. Well, I don't know anyone. There's no
Starting point is 01:33:56 friend of mine or someone I class as a friend on social media or a colleague who is like, do you know what? I trust the government and whatever they say is what I'll obey. Because first of all, people think they got it wrong. And then there's also people who are starting to think that there's an ulterior motive to everything. But the amount of people who before this were completely sane, normal people who now seem like fully fledged conspiracy theorists is fucking unreal.
Starting point is 01:34:21 People do not know what to believe. They don't know whether this is a deadly virus that is killing everyone and the infection rate is going up, or whether it's going down, or whether it's not as bad as they thought it was going to be, or whether it's worse than it could have possibly ever been. No one's got a fucking clue what's going on. And when
Starting point is 01:34:37 that happens, when they don't know, when people don't know what they should do for the best, they're going to do the thing they will enjoy more. And that's what's happening. Yeah, maybe, yeah. Sad though, that some people on the street, our street had a basically on the front lawns.
Starting point is 01:34:54 It's lucky because we've got a street where you do have front lawns. People move the cars off the drive and then you could see everyone and everyone just had basically a load of individual parties. And then a couple of houses didn't come out because they're like no fuck you we're doing this properly and you're like yeah i see why you've not come out because you're like well we're isolating because you know so and so had we've got breathing difficulty we've got like asthma really bad asthma or something it's not really the rules and also i watched it happen because i drunk on thursday as
Starting point is 01:35:25 we all know i drunk on the podcast and i was hungover yesterday so i didn't drop a drink a drop of alcohol last night and i watched that go from a really friendly tea party to just a fucking street piss up and i live on a pretty middle classy sort of it's not even that it's fine and by the fucking time boy adam by 2 a.m though there's a massive fucking kickoff and three of it's not even that, it's fine. And by... I'll tell you what, Adam, by 2am though, there was a massive fucking kick-off and three of the houses were on the green, having it out. So, it looks a little bit middle-class.
Starting point is 01:35:53 That was legally allowed within two metres of you! I'd twat you, Brian! Someone got bitten, so... What? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. One of the girls, one of the girls on the street saw this and she was like,
Starting point is 01:36:04 yeah, it really went weird. I got bitten. I was like, well, that, yeah. One of the girls on the street, I saw this woman, she was like, yeah, it really went weird. I got bitten. I was like, well, that's not socially distant. I think when you know you've got bite marks, social distance. Yeah, it was a mess because, of course, alcohol added to a fucking afternoon tea party. Yeah, fair enough, VE Day might be a bullshit excuse, but people needed to connect.
Starting point is 01:36:23 However, I had alcohol alcohol in there and then all the social distancing goes out kids don't understand etta doesn't understand she's three she didn't get it she's like oh i like that person gonna go over to them you're like no darling and then inevitably like oh god it's gonna be interesting though if there's not a big spike in i don't know what's gonna happen this week because that should really have had an effect in theory. Have you seen that France apparently has got a case that they've found and traced back to December
Starting point is 01:36:51 so that means it's possibly been in Europe since December which means there's a real possibility and Oxford University are leading the UK's fight against it and trying to create a vaccine Oxford University are working under the assumption that this virus has been in the UK since January.
Starting point is 01:37:09 I really don't want to be this guy, but at the end of January no, I'm not going to be that guy. Are you going to say you were dead sick? I had a absolutely mental three days. For three days in February. I was in a fucking
Starting point is 01:37:23 bad way. End of January. I remember exactly what I was. There was in a fucking bad way. End of January. There's now a possibility. Look, anyone who's listening to this who's getting a bit pissed off going, this is really bad. They've got a platform and they're spreading misinformation. None of what we're saying
Starting point is 01:37:36 should be taken as fact. None of it should be acted upon as if we know what we're talking about. We absolutely do fucking not. We're just saying, oh, I've seen this, whatever. Don't act on what we're talking about. We absolutely do fucking not. We're just saying, oh, I've seen this, whatever. Don't act on anything we're telling you. Go and look into it yourself. We don't read
Starting point is 01:37:51 enough. We don't know what's reliable. We don't know what we're talking about. But there's a possibility, based on what I've seen, that the UK has had this virus, and it's possible that me and you are now immune to it because we've had it and it's gone. Yeah. I don't want to be the guy because i i've i've seen tweets about it i've seen so many tweets but i'm pretty sure me and my family had this and you're like your whole family had it
Starting point is 01:38:18 your whole family and you've been seeing nana and she you've not and then she's fine but i i was absolutely floored at the end of January for three days with this fucking bug that I couldn't shake and I had and it it had all of the but not as bad as it sounds but then is that because I'm a fucking 39th or 38 at the time pretty healthy guy that doesn't smoke and has had no respiratory issues in my life of your physical state and age would not have had a severe problem you'd have just got very sick for a few days and then got over it i don't know i don't know but i tell you what it was probably not very responsible they're all the street boys but don't underestimate like how bad it is in other ways you know i don't know it's very very
Starting point is 01:39:07 difficult because you feel like you're excusing it but um there's other stuff going on i worry about like what long term is the effect on like on these kids like it's great that etta doesn't know but if you're a fucking eight-year-old and you're like right everyone has a germ don't go near fucking anyone don't touch them don't breathe on them do not breathe on them that must put a little bit of like coding in your fucking hard drive for later in life when you're like whoa god i really don't like hugging people i was stood in the queue earlier to get into the b&m to buy the cans of coke to mix with me rum and And a guy two metres in front of me, because everyone's spaced out,
Starting point is 01:39:49 he coughed and everyone in front of him turned round as if they'd heard a fucking gunshot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because he forgot to do it into his elbow. He did it into his hand as well, which is fucking eggy, isn't it? Like, that is eggy at the minute. But the people in front of him couldn't see him but he went
Starting point is 01:40:06 and everyone went as if like someone had just gone give me your fucking money punk it's illegal to cough in someone's face as a joke what the fuck if you go up to a nana on the street and go you'll get knocked on by the
Starting point is 01:40:22 po-po-po but I mean isn't it I know yeah but it's you'll get knocked on by the popo. Are you sure? What a fucking weird thing to do. But I mean, isn't it? I know, yeah, but it's... That should happen anyway. That shouldn't be a COVID thing. If you're going over, splurting in people's nan's face,
Starting point is 01:40:36 even without any infection. What's the hip-hop song? Let me clear my throat. Let me clear my throat. And when it goes... So, yeah, that can't be played in discos for a while. I've got another have-away trip, but I can't be arsed. We'll do it on Monday.
