This is Have a Word. Oh, we're back.
We're back.
Fucking weekend off.
What was that about?
What was that?
Proper long weekend.
It's just got a bit weird.
I was like, fucking hell.
Felt like I've been furloughed from the podcast.
Back-to-back days off for the first time in two months.
Jesus Christ, you know things have got weird
when one of us gets furloughed.
That's a fucking awkward email, isn't it,
on a two-man podcast.
Dan, I've been looking at the numbers.
We're making a bit on sponsoring.
Everyone's been really supportive on Patreon,
but we're going to have to probably put you on 80 wages all right see you later adam just monologuing to fucking save money
oh what did you do with it what did you what did you do you have a nice question right i know it's
just because we care it's because it's i think we've mentioned this on previous podcasts
just because otherwise we're like at each other all the time going,
well,
have you thought about this?
Have you emailed that person?
I think we try and leave each other alone a little bit in those gaps now,
just so we're not like,
cause this morning I did my thing of like morning,
Adam,
some fucking questions.
Cause it's pod day.
That's different.
So I left you alone,
but yeah,
it was a bit weird.
I got to Sunday.
I was like,
fuck,
um,
what should we do
got to that point which I think has probably been
most people's experience in the shutdown
they've had those days already
but because we've been banging out so much fucking
stuff and we've had
all sorts going on here everything's levelling
out a bit we had a moment of like I might just
chill out
got like that
I've spent pretty much all weekend doing
the penultimate edit notes
for my stand-up special.
I also teased
this on Twitter before.
I've mentioned it on the podcast already.
It seems a bit of an insiders club, really,
isn't it?
It's definitely going to be ready. It's coming out on Saturday
the 30th of May on YouTube. I just want to ask
everyone who listens to this
to go and subscribe to my YouTube channel
because that's where it's going to go,
which is youtube.com slash adamrokecomedy.
But also tomorrow at midday lunchtime
on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter,
I'm going to put the artwork out,
like announcement for everyone else.
Do us a favor, everyone on this,
just go and like it and comment on it because the more people
that like it and comment on it and retweet it and share it
the more people are going to see it and go and subscribe
I just want people to see this fucking thing
it's good
I'm really proud of it I think people especially
fans of this podcast are going to find it dead funny
and you know why
not put a stand up special out when no one's got
anything else to fucking do
I think it's i mean
everyone listening will will get behind it and enjoy it because it'd be fucking weird if you
enjoyed us talking shit and then we're like yeah when adam prepares stuff it's just not for me
when he's actually had time to think about what he's saying it loses something like it'll be
amazing but i thought that when tom sagura brought out Ball Hog like two weeks into the shutdown,
I was like, fuck me, that's good timing, isn't it?
I mean, the reason Tiger King booted off,
not it is good, Tiger King would have got some traction anyway,
but because it was just to the point where we're like,
fuck, Netflix wants something to do.
And then Tom Segura brought out Ball Hog.
I was like, oh man, man he's excellent but that will do
his career
I mean that could give him
like a 30-40% boost
from where it would have been
just because
it was the big
Netflix release
at the start of a shutdown
when everyone was
when everyone felt like
they'd completed Netflix
hopefully everyone's
savvy enough to be like
wow Adam's quality
let's go and hunt him out
on YouTube
watch it properly
YouTube's so good these days in terms of picture quality.
It's the same as watching it on Netflix, essentially.
Yeah, it's in HD.
It's not quite 4K, the one I'm putting out,
but it's full HD and stuff.
It's going to be dead good.
Where would you...
Go on, sorry.
I think the weird thing we're putting out
during a shutdown is,
realistically, the reason any comedian puts a stand-up special out
is for two reasons normally.
It's, first of all, to make money.
Like Netflix, if Netflix give you one, you get whatever they pay you for it,
depending on your profile and whatever.
And the second one is to sell tickets.
Now, I'm putting a standup special out,
which is going to do neither of those things because at the minute I haven't
got any tour dates because I don't know when we're going to be back.
So it's not like people can watch it and then go,
fuck,
I need to see this guy live and go and find tour dates because they're just
not there.
And I'm not going to make any money from it because it's going out for free
on YouTube.
So it's weird putting a special out at the minute,
which is not going to generate any ticket sales or sales
because I'm not selling it because I just want people to see it.
But I'm just hoping that enough people watch it
and find me and then find this podcast.
And then when we do come back, they go,
oh, I watched this special and I hope they don't forget about it.
I just wanted to get me some new fans as well as build on the ones i've already got you gotta have the you've got
to have the stuff to do the you know online bit i mean i held back for years i've done little bits
and bots but you've got to be a good comedian who isn't getting the love on live at the apollo or
whatnot and be like i've got this content and i want people to watch it. There's loads of comics who are decent,
but they don't have the self-confidence to throw stuff against the wall and
try it.
I think what you're doing is,
is brilliant,
especially because it's not,
um,
it's not like a,
the same as a Netflix special where it's like a full tour show at a theater.
It's something a little different,
isn't it?
It's like a reflection of circuit life and a night on the circuit.
Yeah.
Well, I'm really
happy with one of the trailers that's going to go out
and one of the
bit at the end
during the credits, backstage
one night I filmed
the other comedians talking about me while I was on stage
and it just looks really funny
it just gives you a little insight to what a green room
is like while the show's on
and comedians just being a bit bitchy
it's funny as fuck and all the comedians involved
did they know?
did they know? or did you just press record?
ah right yeah yeah yeah
they did know I wouldn't do that because
first of like
for those who don't know what I'm talking about
you'll see this in the credits
of the special
I've set what looks like a hidden camera up backstage
at the comedy club that I filmed this show at.
And there's like four of the comedians in there.
And while I'm on, they're basically slagging me set off,
slagging me off, calling me a prick.
And they all knew they were being filmed, obviously.
The reason you can't do that really, for real,
is because it does happen
like it you could be the nicest best comedian in the world when you go on stage
they're a bit of bitchiness backstage i don't want to know what people say when i'm on stage
it's absolutely none of my fucking business yeah so i couldn't have done it for real but it is
there's some comics that wouldn't there's a lot that wouldn't. There's a lot of good comics.
Also, there's a lot of comics astute enough to know that
even if they don't like someone,
there might be a friend of the comic in the dressing room.
But then there are just some fucking snakes.
Yeah.
Who are just like...
Literally, all they want to do is like,
it used to be the old jonglers, the way of the old jonglers gigs,
the old fucking McDonald's franchise, stag doos, hen doos,
the dressing rooms were dire places, awful.
And some of those comics have learned to adapt and they've become nicer.
The circuit is generally a nicer place,
but there's one or two characters on the circuit who, I mean, I don calling as fucking smart like you just call the act what they are like be honest you don't have to be nicey nice that's even more sinister but there's some guys that
just got pure evil in the heart like yeah oh they're doing well aren't they like yeah yeah
are they you're like all right you miserable cunt so funny because i've seen the clip and one of
the comics that adam's got doing it is al barry who's a very good comic and a nice guy but he
fuck me does he come across as a tory cunt and he's not he's not but left wing
you would believe yeah he he's he's so he he rocks the pompous vibe very well so for him to
be like oh god oh he's doing that like oh god like it's very funny you won't say what he says
because it'll ruin it but very funny what i'm really happy with is i've sent the clip to a few
comics and gone what you think of this and more more than half of the comics I've had to ask
me, is that real?
Yeah, that's what you want.
Even comedians are looking at it going,
fuck, did you film backstage?
That would be breaking comedy
law, that, to film a green room without the
comics knowing. Because we've mentioned
on this podcast, but the shit that gets said in green
rooms makes every offensive joke ever told by a comedian on stage pale in comparison green rooms especially
if you get a good one where you're all mates and you all know each other well it's a fucking feisty
little thing you'd all be inaudible to each other and even more audible to people who aren't there
you can't film that and then put it on the internet without people's fucking permission and yeah very differently that'd be a real breach of trust wouldn't it i'll tell you
who else is a cunt um i think very different from that from what i was talking about about people
just being nasty and cynical there are some of those characters and you just try and avoid them
and i think they i think there's their numbers are
dwindling because i just think people are like behave yourself just be a better person be a
better human you can you can think someone's a knob that's different than just being nasty and
bitchy but uh comics do not enjoy comics telling other comics how well they did it's just not in our nature to be like if we sit
around and or ring each other on the way back from gigs no comics like oh tell us um tell me who
you've seen do amazingly recently you're like oh loads of comics loads of good guys you know
sean collins my very good on his fucking ass lad who was the worst person you gigged with this week
fucking ass lad
who was the
worst person
you gigged with
this week
did you hear
have you heard
is the one of the
best
is one of the
best
dressing room
or drive from
a gig
things like
have you heard
about
and you're like
and instantly
all comedians
you know like
like
fucking
what are they
called
on the
meerkats
on the prairie
have you heard
about
so and so
died on his
fucking hoop
all of a sudden all the comedians
in the dressing room were like heads up
what was that who died
someone had a fucking terrible one
I hope he doesn't mind me saying this
and he will be one of
the guests that we really hurry on
as soon as we get the studio sorted
and we can have guests on
he'll be one of my first choices
a good mates man who we've mentioned before is Alfie Brown
who is from down
south, he's
from London, but his family
are from Merseyside
like his heritage and he's a massive Liverpool fan
he adores Liverpool
and I was there for
he was comparing as well
an absolute stinker of a gig he had.
Now, I think Alfie is one of the best comedians in the country.
I love him.
Go and check out his work.
He's phenomenal.
He's a bit rock and roll, isn't he?
I'm not even going to tell the story.
I'm just teasing this for when Alfie's on the pod
because I'm going to make him tell it in his own words.
It's fucking amazing.
I can't wait for people to hear it.
Oh, comedians.
Just comedians dying.
You're like, oh, why is it so enjoyable?
Not new comedians.
That's not as fun.
That's not as fun.
That's like watching a fucking, I don't know,
like an amateur boxer get knocked out.
You're like, oh, God, they've just started.
Like the under-16s, and he's got fucking completely KO'd. You're like, god they've just started like the under 16s and he's got
fucking completely ko'd you're like yeah that's not as funny we're talking about the pros who've
had a few fights when they get fucking lamped out of the ring by some nasty crowd or it's just some
fucking brutal heckle you're like i love it is there have you got a bad gig in your head that is your go-to bad gig story?
Have you got one that you remember
as like the worst one
for whatever reason?
I've got a,
yeah, yeah.
And this is the weird thing.
Some,
sometimes they're so crap,
but they're like not funny crap.
They're just shit where you've been let down by the person who
booked it the people are a bit cunty the setup's crap the lighting's wrong and then you've not been
great you know there are like comics like it's their fault it's sometimes on us you know like
it's it's a combination of them but i've done gigs where it's been in the wall and i'm like i could have played that way better and then there's other times i'm like fuck i'm basically
a victim here i i've i've had a couple of bad ones one in liverpool when i was starting out
i was probably about four or five years in at rawhide when it was down at the Albert Docks
and I've got a couple of bad corporate stories.
In fact, I've got three.
I've got three gigs and I know exactly what they are
and they're brutal for different reasons.
The two corporate ones, and they're not proper gigs
so they're almost like not the same.
The two corporate ones, one, I did an afternoon gig here in Chester at the Abode Hotel,
which was swanky as fuck, and it was run by a guy who's been involved in comedy for about 10, 15 years,
in and out, he's now out, and he's one of these people that talks a good game,
but he's not to be fucking trusted, because they chat shit.
Got me 300 quid to speak at a charity afternoon dinner for all the Cheshire cunts.
And it was this Sahara drive across the desert. And they got these cars, they painted them,
they were having a fundraiser. And I said to him, I'll do it. It's handy. No problem. But I need to
know there'll be a mic and a microphone, all the usual. Don't let me down on that. Of course,
the organizer had literally said to him, does he need a mic and a microphone stand? the usual, don't let me down on that. Of course, the organiser had literally said to him,
does he need a mic and a microphone stand?
And he'd gone, nah.
When I was booting off afterwards, when I got there
and there wasn't a mic and a mic stand, I went, it's imperative.
I literally said, and she showed me the text message
from this numpty promoter where she went,
does he need a mic and a mic stand?
And he went, no.
Fucking, I've never been all right with this cunt.
I will literally, that kind of like, so selfish, that shit.
I walked on, there was no microphone,
and they basically didn't know they were getting comedy.
The organiser was like, yeah, this is fine.
And, oh my God, I ate my balls,
but I didn't just eat my balls. Adam, I ate my balls, but I didn't just eat my balls.
Adam, I ate my balls without a microphone.
There is something so validating about having the technical equipment in your hand.
You're like, right, well, you're a bunch of 60 bellends, but I'm the 61st bellend,
but I've got a microphone that's connected to these speakers,
and these lights are pointing at me.
Now, you might be twats, but at least I look proper.
If you take that away, you're just a bell end shouting in the corner of a hotel fucking function suite going,
Hi, guys, you all right?
I did.
I'm not even joking.
I was booked for half an hour.
I did eight minutes joking. I was booked for half an hour. I did eight minutes and it was,
I've never known a worse effort. They gave me two minutes of like annoyed concentration.
And then the whole of the back of the room went and the front of the room looked appalled.
And I went, do you know what guys, I think we might have to walk away from this one and just
put it down to misadventure.
And a woman at the front went just quietly so no one else could hear,
but me just went, yeah.
Yeah, just probably just let us have our afternoon.
Yeah, let us have our dinner like that.
Probably just let us finish our nice dinner.
And I was like, oh, I couldn't call her a dick.
She wasn't being a dick.
In fact, it was, I couldn't call her a dick. She wasn't being a dick. In fact,
it was,
it was,
I actually knew exactly what she meant.
And I walked off to the most like,
I did a corporate in,
oh fucking,
that's literally giving me the cold shivers.
I did a corporate in Preston that was so bad.
And my agent at the time had gone,
yeah,
it's cash.
Just pick up the cash afterwards.
The only problem with getting paid cash for corporates is they don't give a shit if they don't pay you because they don't need comedians ever
again they're not part of the circuit on the circuit if you don't pay a comedian we're on the
phone to each other we're on the we're on facebook going this guy's a fucking thief and we try and
blacklist them companies are like i couldn't give a fuck we'll use a musician next time we'll get
karaoke it will be better i ate my fucking balls
but did my time because i was like i'm not gonna let these cunts not pay me i did my time i fucking
hoofed it massive chessboard dance floor and all these bell ends just outside preston staring at
me and at the end of it i went for my money and he refused to pay me oh the absolute humiliation he went do you think i'm paying you
for that shit did you get paid though eventually my agent got half the fee but you did all your
time i did my time but i made what was this company oh man, mate, I blocked it out. It was 10 years ago. 10 years ago.
It was at the Marriott Hotel just north of Preston.
I cannot tell you how much fucking damage
I'd have done to that company through hook or crook.
If I did my time at a corporate
and they refused to pay me
because it wasn't whatever they wanted it to be,
and they were, oh, here's half the money,
I would make sure that through criminal damage
or something else,
I will take the rest of my fee
out of that somehow.
Like if they,
if they,
let's say they were meant
to pay you 500 quid
and they gave you 250.
I'm doing at least 250 quid
worth of damage to some windows.
I'm slashing some tires on BMWs.
I'm shitting on your windscreen.
I'm doing.
You're doing a 250 pound shit which with adam's medical history i honestly this is how much i can't do deal with that level of
eggy in my life he said that to me he and the woman was like trying to apologize like i'm so
sorry oh it's so difficult but it
just didn't go very well and he was like i'm not paying for that shit and i just went cool and i
just walked because i'm not having a fucking argument with some bellend surrounded by all
his bellend like staff and i just walked and i got straight on the phone to my agent kicked off
and from that point on adam you'll be so unsurprised to hear they never did
cash corporates ever again they made the corporate pay before the gig which is is an industry standard
and we should have had in place already you can't have cash corporates it just doesn't work because
they're like ah fuck i don't give a shit we're plumbers i don't give a fuck if dan nightingale
hates us but oh my, it was brutal.
And I never even thought to take revenge on the company.
I am such a, like, in that situation, I'm like,
I just want to walk away from it.
I don't want it in my life.
And in Liverpool, the gig that I died, I was starting out,
and I ate my balls for 19 minutes in Liverpool on the Albert Dock.
This was about five years in.
And they were being nice with me, but they didn't like me.
There was chatting.
They weren't shouting.
And on about minute 18,
this guy stood up
and decided he was going to heckle me.
And the crowd hadn't laughed at me
for a good,
I'd say I was in the 12th minute
of eating my balls,
but I was trying to do my time.
And he stood up
and he walked round the stage
towards the toilet.
And he was like,
this fucking shites me. So I was like, this fucking shits me.
So I was like, thanks, mate.
As if it's not hard enough.
Now you're giving me shit.
And he kept going and he was still talking and he was looking at the stage while giving me shit.
The crowd were like, not on his side, not on my side.
They were almost like, yeah, he is shit.
This guy's got a point.
But he's like, yeah, fucking dreadful, mate.
Don't know how you call yourself a fucking comedian comedian you want to have a look at yourself and
he wasn't looking at the glass door for the toilets and in his fucking periphery all he could
see was the shape of a doorway and he went to say another thing while looking at me and walking
sideways and fucking slammed into that glass door. It was like comical.
You know when you do a fake slam?
It was amazing.
He bounced off it.
It got a massive round of applause and I walked.
I was like,
I'll take it.
They laughed so much at that guy
walking into the glass door.
That's how much of a whore comedians are for laughter.
I was like,
oh fuck, they're laughing.
Thank you, good night.
I just...
Oh, totally. Do you know what's really bad? Oh, they're laughing. Thank you, goodnight. I just... Oh, totally.
Do you know what's really bad?
Oh, that's worked.
Literally giving me heartburn
talking about those three gigs.
You know,
the worst thing you can see though
as another comic,
as a performer
or even as an audience member
is,
you know when you're at a comedy club,
it's Friday night,
Saturday night, whatever
and one of the acts on the bill,
like what you've just been talking about,
the audience is just not going for it.
There's a temptation as a comedian
to overrun and chase one big laugh.
And it's one of the most distressing things
as a colleague to ever watch one of your colleagues do.
So a comedian will be on stage
and for 10 minutes,
they're booked to do 20 minutes,
industry standard is 20 minutes,
and from minute 10 to minute 20,
they've got titters at most
and next to no reaction.
It's not happening.
And what you're meant to do is go,
fuck this, I'm off,
and just walk off to the sound
of your own footsteps if you have to,
once you've done your time.
Or if the promoter flashes you early,
if it's going that bad,
sometimes a good promoter will give you an out and on 12,
15 minutes,
they'll flash you and go,
fuck this.
Just get off,
give the audience a break and we'll get the next act.
That's the white towel.
That's the corner throwing in the white towel in it.
Essentially.
You need to wait for the light because if you walk off without that, the promoter can go,
you've only done 11 minutes, I'm not fucking paying you
for that. So you have to either do your time
or be given a signal that you can
fuck it off. And
the worst thing that you can see is
just a comedian going, no, right, I'll do one more
bit, and I'll get one big laugh,
and then that doesn't get a laugh. And no,
well, I'll do one more. And sometimes
it means that comedians
who've had the worst gig of the night
are the one that the audience sees the most of.
They're in like the 27th minute of a 20 minute set
flogging a dead fucking horse.
It's almost like, you know,
if you're a first responder
and you do CPR on someone,
there is a point where they're not coming back.
When you're in the 27th minute of going,
like, pressing on the chest, like, yeah,
he's definitely gone.
Phil, leave it, mate.
And lowering the coffin into the ground.
Clear!
What's your one that comes back?
It's at the forefront.
It's not in the forefront.
It's at the back of every comic's mind,
the gig that makes you go...
Hero.
There's one that I've told the story of before on the podcast which was a christmas do at the crown pub where hot water used to be and it was so silent i heard someone say i thought he was
supposed to be a comedian which was not cool oh. Actually, my first tryout for junglers, right?
So this was eight years ago, and it was in Leeds,
but not the good Leeds room that became highlights.
It was in, like, Oceania, I think, the nightclub.
Stinky Leeds.
I hope he doesn't mind me saying this, but I'm going to do it.
So the compare goes on, and I'm the open spot but I'm going to do it. So the compare goes on and I'm the open spot.
I'm booked to do five minutes, right?
Or maybe it was 10, 10, I think.
And the compare had done a good job.
He was having a good gig.
And the opener and the second act,
who were both in the first section, had ropeyy ones then there was a break and then it was
me and then the closing act and the compé went on and he ripped it again and then he went right
your next act coming on is a new act they don't get paid they're just here to showcase their skills
and he's from liverpool and there was a stag do in from man Manchester and they booed for about 25 seconds
before I'd walked on.
And I was too new to know how to deal with that.
Oh yeah.
And I walked on
and the rest of the audience
sort of humored me for about a minute.
I was getting a few giggles
and then it just went to fucking shit
and I was definitely meant to do 10 minutes
because I walked off
after about six and a half
and just thought,
this is just,
I just said,
thanks guys,
thanks for having us.
Walked off and the comp
page goes,
yeah,
but what happened
when they,
when that sag dude booed,
I thought the comp
was going to fix it,
but he didn't.
He just went,
don't be booing him.
He's a new act.
He's coming.
He's doing it for free.
Give it up for Adam Rowe.
And then the closing act
of the bagging as well the only act
that had a good gig that night was the comp here
because it was one of those gigs where the audience just want
crowd interaction I ate a
dick for five and a half of the
six and a half minutes was like the first minute I was
alright they gave me a bit of humour
time and what had happened was
this was when Jonglers was just on it's
way of going to shit
and they were getting the DJ of the nightclub
to do the feedback
for the comedy.
So he would write the feedback, oh, this guy was good,
he should get more work or whatever.
The DJ only watched me first
minute, so I actually got
a paid booking from Jonglers off the back
of this gig.
That's right.
Feedback was,
starts really strong, seems like he's good.
Yeah, I'd give him paid work. And he fucked off
after 60 seconds and didn't realise
I walked off three and a half minutes
early to fucking
ambivalence from the audience.
Do you know who the compere was?
Have you never seen me before?
Kane Brown.
Kane Brown.
Upset me. Nasty open spot. Do you know why he didn't Have you never seen me before? Kane Brown. Kane Brown. Cha!
Upset me.
Nasty open spot.
Do you know why he didn't, in that situation,
get on top of that?
Because he was like,
Cha, that's racism.
But that's white-on-white racism.
No one gives a shit about that racism.
As if you could go,
Kane, excuse me.
Listen, I suffered white-on-white regional discrimination there as a Liverpudlian.
I don't know if you picked up on it.
I was booed because of where I'm from,
and I think you should have dealt with that.
You're like, fam, I'm black.
What are you on about?
Fuck it.
All of that bullshit.
Are you from there?
Well, I'm from near there.
Oh, my God.
It's so... Do you know what? so tired sort of grown as a comic though
and develop new skills when i walk on in manchester and i get booed now it helps me
yeah because i've got a bit and i've got the skills to immediately flip it and i basically
just have a go at warrington that's what i do it's a bit cheap oh yeah what it does is it turns
the whole room from he's a fucking scouser boo fucking we're all manx and then the whole room goes and he's actually funny and we do
all like warrington to be fair so fuck that even more and it's and it's just a bit of a gig it's
just a it's a bit of circus in it it's a bit of theater you know they don't really fucking
they don't really hate you it's's just a little bit like, eh.
I'll tell you what, it happens less, though, at the Frog now.
That's the difference.
When I first started out at the Frog, people were from Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, all around.
And now it's just like loads of graduates and young professionals who are like,
oh, we've come to comedy at the Frog and Bucket.
Oh, great.
And I'm from Liverpool.
Okay, that's another place I'm not from.
Let's hear your ideas and even even in liverpool now i've got that bit about the mancunian accent
that always works well i say i lived in manchester for 10 years that used to get a full like
and even hot water sometimes they're like yeah we're not from here either so don't worry about
like they're all from over there's like like tourism, because, ah, it's funny.
Funny how it happens.
Do you remember your routine about giving Liverpool the independence it wants?
Oh, fuck, I do, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you would put, like, loads of shockers round the state of Merseyside and blow it off.
It'd float off into the Irish Irish city and for the first time
ever it makes sense Wigan's got a pier.
That's what you used to say, isn't it?
Do you know why I remember that so
clearly?
Because you, at the laugh-in in
Chester, and I seen
there was a moment where you realised what you'd done.
I'd done it before you.
In the middle section, before bringing
me on, you did this
five to ten minute anti-scouse,
really good, funny bit of stand-up.
And I went, right, thanks, guys.
Your next act, Adam Rowe.
Oh!
And as you started saying the word Rowe,
I seen in your eyes, you went,
oh, I've done me scouse bit.
And I went on, it was fine.
I had a good gig.
And when I come off, you were like,
mate, I'm so fucking sorry that I did that to you. And it didn't matter on, it was fine. I had a good gig. And when I come off, you were like, mate, I'm so fucking sorry
that I did that to you
and it didn't matter.
But it was so funny
as a fairly new act
watching you
rip the place apart
with an anti-scouse bit.
And then Adam,
oh!
Oh,
by the way,
anyone who's listening
to Liverpool go,
what the fuck's that,
Dave?
What did you say?
I literally was like,
Liverpool's great,
but they love it, don't they?
They really love it.
A lot of places don't love where they are.
Like, if you go to some towns, like,
oh, yeah, it's fucking shitty here.
You go to Liverpool, like, I fucking love this city.
It's the best city in the world.
And I think that is fact.
I was like, why don't we give them
the independence they clearly want?
Not just, we'll blow them off the
mainland they'll float it doesn't make any sense we'll float them off the the independent island
of scouse and the and the punchline was and for the first time ever it'll make sense that wiggins
got up here that was the fucking job it wasn't like horrific anti-scouse banter it's still not
as bad and i know i'm repeating myself from the podcast but when Liam at the Frog asked for me to do the Niggit
McChuckins bit and I did
the Niggit McChuckins story
and then brought a black guy
on that was
that's a different level
of bellend
that is fucking
hell

Nice one, lads.
I don't know about you,
but I'm feeling triggered.
It must be Havawad
with Adam and Dave.
Okie doke.
Right, let's crack on
with the second section.
Oh my goodness me.
We were going to swap
around responsibilities for this.
We need to do that.
Now, Adam. I think we should start doing actually
I think Monday one of us should do the whole
episode and Friday the other one should do the whole
episode and Wednesday we'll do it together
I think that would be better from now on
yeah if you want that would be sweet
okay good
so first of all
this is for stellar stee oh yeah his stellar pint glass that his
has been pissing in she pissed too hard and the glass is dead uh he took a picture of the... I hope someone is listening
who hasn't listened to that episode.
I don't know.
If you are the kind of bellend
that jumps in at episode 57
and thinks,
oh, I don't really get the references,
just track back a little bit, eh?
Fucking hell.
Oh, I didn't get the wire.
I finished...
I started on season three,
but I just couldn't pick it up.
No shit.
So, yeah, Stee's missus broke the fucking glass that she wheezed in.
And he's like, oh, I'm gutted.
And I know, in my head I was like, should we start a GoFundMe?
But then there's not much point because we'd get to like £2.20
and then be done.
This is from Ricky
hello chaps
not really I have a word or any feature
that you do but I'm sat pissed watching
Gary Barlow's crooners on YouTube
and Jason Manford is on there
singing with him
just wondered what you thought about a comedian
doing stuff like this
like shows, singing or musicals
what's your thoughts, Adam?
I mean, your career trajectory,
I could see this within seven years.
Like, oh my God, have you heard Rose in Hamilton?
I don't know what part he's playing.
Cha! I'm sending it!
Because you like a musical, you like it.
Darling, you do like a little bit of musical theatre, don't you?
I do.
So...
Sorry, mate, I'm just a bit yawny.
I miss those coffees.
I think the thing with Jason is, and I don't know Jason that well.
I've met him a few times.
I get the impression from Jason that he didn't just want to be a comedian.
He wanted to be an entertainer.
Mr. Saturday Night.
He's got a really good singing voice
and I think he always wanted to do
what he's doing now.
Hosting TV shows, hosting award shows,
singing, doing whatever he can
that his skills will take him to.
A lot of good comedians do. A lot of good comedians huh a lot of good
comedians i mean when you're a kid you don't start going to comedian groups or anything you know you
do a little bit of fucking drama or you sing in a choir or i'm literally just talking about myself
but if i like you then as an adult you find comedy and you want to do it but there's still
a little bit of you who's like ah fucking, fucking love a good sing and a show.
I am.
I have this conversation a lot.
Whenever my agent sets up a meeting with a producer in London,
who is part of like the TV industry or whatever,
they always ask a very similar question,
which is always along the lines of what are you using stand up for?
What's the goal? What's next? What do you cut? So is it, you lines of what are you using stand-up for what's the goal what's
next what do you cut so is it you want to be you know do you want to be in sitcoms you want to
write a sitcom do you want to do this and that neither i always um my answer is i want to do
stand-up so that i can do more bigger stand-up so i will do anything that facilitates selling stand-up tickets or gets
me better at stand-up yeah what they're totally not understanding i'd do sitcoms film i'd do any
of those things to help sell more tickets they see it as like would you do stand up to get those
things and then stop doing stand-up no fam get me those things get me all of those things and then stop doing stand-up no fam get me those things get me all of those things and then i'll be able to sell even more fucking tickets yeah i am i think some people think that
like stand-up can never be the end game like that's the most important thing and i think people
are like i think certainly in the tv industry they're like oh well you're only doing stand-up
so you get a sitcom and of course you'll tour off the back of it but it's all about getting that
sitcom isn't it and getting getting that writing work and whatever.
It's not the case for me.
I want to be one of the best stand-ups
the UK has ever produced.
That's what I want to be.
I'm not saying I'll ever get there,
but that's what I would like.
That's my goal.
And I feel like if you set a massive goal like that,
you'll get, you'll certainly do well
regardless of whether you actually reach it.
However, I do in recent times
think i'd i've come around to the idea of doing a bit of acting as well not necessarily comedy acting
darling darling i'd love to be like in some stuff yeah yeah it very... I reckon I could be a baddie in Corrie.
Mate, come on.
You can do better.
How bad is anyone in Corrie?
You want to get your fucking teeth into something a bit grittier than...
You want to be a bit Netflix or a bit, you know, HBO.
Not Corrie, like, oh, no.
He's closing down the core factory.
I reckon I could be a lawyer as well
what?
I reckon I could be a lawyer
in what?
in like a lawyer program
what lawyer program?
what we need is a hairy young
scouse lawyer
and we're really struggling to cast it
I can't.
I know you can act,
but I still think...
All right, they're lying.
These fuckers don't even know him.
Leave it.
It's paid his bill.
I can't afford it.
Don't speak.
Don't speak.
Say no comments.

I got to say, listen, I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I'm not a fucking I don't know what I don't know where you're from.
And I don't know your fucking moral code.
But I'm from this.
I'm from the streets of
Chi-Town. I'm not a rat. I'm not a rat.
I'm not going to be a rat.
That's all you fucking want, mate.
The people you're protecting are going to let you
go to prison and you're going to be getting bummed for days.
Do you want to get bummed for days or
do you want to go home? No.
Mate, are you? Shut the fuck up.
I can tell you're acting, scene.
I can tell you're acting because within that scene you said be a grass

I'm the Chicago lawyer from Liverpool Oh, is it? Is it? God, you're so fucking good at this. You're going to be a great actor.
I'm the Chicago lawyer from Liverpool.
Chicago lark.
Coming soon to Skyhawks.
Fucking grass.
You're a fucking rat, though, mate.
Hey, and you come back, and everyone will be like,
hey, Adam, your character's a fucking rat.
I'll be like, sounds, yeah, but I'm not, am I?
I'll get out my face or I'll fucking nut you.
Ah, Jesus.
I think you've really got the temperament for Hollywood.
I'm looking forward to seeing you succeed there.
How much would you love to gig in Hollywood?
I'd love to play.
I'd love to do the Ice House or fucking...
I'd just love to see you if
you could do do you think you could just tune into it i think you need a few gigs to just tune
into this sort of i've done some gigs in new york what was it like reference wise did you did you
find stuff dropped out or i had to change one i had to change one reference 15 minutes set
one lucas aid reference i had this joke about i'm sure i've told this on the podcast before I had to change one reference in the whole 15-minute set. One LucasAid reference.
I had this joke about... I'm sure I've told this on the podcast before.
About giving homeless people money and saying,
he doesn't want food, he wants cider.
And it just got fuck all.
They don't know what cider is.
Because homeless people don't drink cider.
That's like a middle-class summer drink there.
So I had to change it to vodka and then it worked.
I was going to go out to LA
this year. I had a
three week window booked
when I was going to do New York
and LA back to back and I had some gigs lined up out there
but hopefully I can still get them
when we're back from the
Rona shit which is starting
to fucking get to me kids. I
need to go out.
Yeah.
You're on good form today but yeah i'm just accepting it it's just boring isn't it it's really fucking boring now oh yeah
etta keeps asking to go and see people she's like can i go to nursery can i go and see my cousins
and you're like sorry mate no fuck. No. Fuck, it's tricky.
I've just accepted a booking.
Freddie, who the fuck is that guy,
just said he spoke to you about it.
I'm doing it in July.
It's the only gig that's going to be in my...
The drive-in cinema, they're going to do stand-up.
And it's near Preston.
And it's cash. And it's just a decent fee. And I just thought, oh, fuck it. I'm going to do stand-up, and it's near Preston, and it's cash, and it's just a decent fee.
And I just thought, oh, fuck it, I'm going to give it a try.
Me and Tez Ilias are doing it because I didn't fancy it.
And I...
200 odd cars, or they've got a license for 200 odd cars,
and they're going to tune in the microphone
to a frequency on people's radios,
proper like a drive-in cinema,
except you're going to be a bell end in the middle
doing your stand-up.
And I'm going to give it a try because, frankly,
by July I think the shutdown will be lifted in Maine,
but I don't think work stand-up-wise will be happening.
So I'm just going to give it a try.
It's a bit of money, but also just for the experience,
I think it's going to be a weird one.
We'll see.
The fact that it was near Preston made it easier.
I wondered why you didn't fancy it.
Because I think it's going to be fucking shit.
Okay.
That's what I said to him.
He offered me it, and I was like, no.
And he was like, why not?
I said, because I don't think it's going to be good.
And I know we've joked on this,
like we'd drive anywhere to do
a shit gig right now but realistically
I don't want my first gig
in four months
to be a shit one
I want my first gig back
to be a hot water
to a full fucking room
and killing
I don't want my first gig in four months
to be me performing
and every time someone likes a joke,
they have to fucking wipe the windows
to let me know if they found it funny.
We said that on the phone.
I was like,
he was like,
you know what,
Freddie's like,
just throwing out ideas.
He was like,
maybe we'll do something
where they flash the lights
or honk the horn.
I was like,
no, Freddie,
that's not,
you're not.
Rev your engine if you've been before.
Rev your engine if you haven't been before!
They sound like more powerful engines, don't they?
What?
Who's idling?
Fucking ridiculous.
I tell you what, if it works, which I don't care,
it's a couple of hundred quid doing a gig near my hometown.
We'll see what happens.
I'm fine.
And I've, you know that thing of like, I'll gig anywhere at the moment.
Turns out I fucking would.
But yeah, I didn't think about it being the first gig back,
but it's going to be mental if at the end,
to show appreciation for your set,
everyone honks the horn,
I think that will be full on.
That will be like,
I'm the star of the most well-organized session of dogging in history.
When there's just 200 cars in a field,
all pointing at me,
flashing the lights and honking the horn
i'll be like your sex are down still got it yeah just i need my first gig back to be a very good
one and i don't think that's gonna be so but i've just bought a garage door so daddy gonna pay for
it with some honking of the homes i don't know if you're going to be playing to a hot water that's sold
out first gig back
I think if it's
legal for them to fill it then
they'll absolutely fill it without question
right
like if they're allowed to put 200 people in there
then they'll easily find 200 people
who want to go to it
I think they're going to be
I think they're going to be allowed to have 100 people.
Maybe it's going to be
even lower than that
and maybe they decide
not to open
until they hit that 100,
110 people
that they were talking about.
I think it is going
to be staggered.
So,
110's fine,
isn't it?
110's doable, yeah.
I'd do that.
You'd have to be
pretty hard-lined
to be like,
I won't play it
until it's sold out,
okay?
Shall we do some Would You Rathers, Adam?
Oh, yes, mate!
You love the Would You Rather, don't you?
I love it.
Will you make an edit note, though?
Because I need to go and have a wee.
I've been dieting and I'm drinking too much water.
Yeah, okay.
He's going for a little tinkle
I mean, in theory
I should definitely edit this out
But there's a bit of me who wants to see
How long Adam pisses for
Just in the name of science
I think that gig in the field
Is gonna be
I think it's gonna be weird
But there's a part of me that thinks
Ah, fuck it, give it a try
It's a free hit, innit
It's a free hit If it's shit, of me that thinks, fuck it, give it a try. It's a free hit, isn't it?
It's a free hit.
If it's shit, you're like, oh, yeah.
That was probably always going to be shit.
And if it's good, it's a fucking Brucey bonus.
200 bones.
Mate, I'm not getting paid for stand-up until fucking October. I will stand in a field and get flashed at for 200 nicker.
It's going to be fucking sad. How will you
even hear the laughter at all? Do you think people will open their windows? Because then
they'll be like, don't fucking laugh in my direction, mate. Oi, fuck's all closer. Laugh
forwards. Don't laugh out your fucking window, mate. Give me the roaner. All the cars are
going to be separated. And then there's going to be proper staging lights
it'll rain won't it, it'll be fucking raining
and then all you'll hear is
and the windscreen
wiper's going
you've got to cancel if it rains
fuck me, how desperate do I sound
I'll be alright
I'll be in a field and
I'll probably pay me
it's fine, I've got a four wheel drive
I'm going to drive off
For fuck's sake
I'm back
That was a quick piss
How's your diet going mate?
It's going dead well
The past three days
You look
Can I just say
I should have said it before
You look at me as a
Charming

Not yesterday
The day before
Right No it was yesterday Okay Look at me as I'm charming. I weighed myself. Not yesterday, the day before. Right.
No, it was yesterday.
Okay.
And I'm the heaviest I've ever been, knowingly.
Oh, my God.
Awful.
What an awful moment that was in my life.
Yeah, I'm creeping up towards that fucking,
that horrific high watermark.
Oh, it's's brutal isn't it
so you're just cutting out sugar
cut out sugar and I've just started
eating
making sure I'm eating
a food rather than a product

I'm trying to give myself food poisoning as well
so that I just shit loads of weight off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ring an Indian takeaway and be like,

Like, what do you mean?
Oh, we don't keep the old food, my friend.
There's no old food here.

How does it work?
It's 6'9".

Yeah.
And
3'10". 10. and three foot three foot ten
ten
I mean three foot ten's pretty fucking small
isn't it
yeah but I'm still going to go with that
I'd rather be able to fucking
like throw around the bedroom
and that a bit than after using it as a
climbing frame you wouldn't be able to just throw around
the bedroom you could throw around a fucking football pitch yeah exactly i'd rather have someone who
looks like a pokemon than a giraffe
hey but you've just said and i know you're on a fucking haribo free diet you've literally just
said with no comedy intended i'm the heaviest i've ever been and then you're on a fucking Haribo-free diet. You've literally just said, with no comedy intended,
I'm the heaviest I've ever been.
And then you're like, yeah, I'll have a three-foot-ten girlfriend.
See how that goes.
Where's Jade?
I haven't seen Jade for fucking ages.
Oh, shit, she's under me tit.
Come out, Jade.
There you go.
There you go.
She's three inches.
She's still three-foot.
Yeah, I know, I know.
I was exaggerating for comedy. That's like still less than four Subway sandwiches.
Just.
You know you're a fat lad when you go,
when you see a crime happening.
Like, did you see how tall the assailant was?
Oh, mate, he was fucking big, lad.
He was like six sandwiches, Subway.
He was about six foot long.
He was quite big as well
me bull
mad
and I
would you not
like a tall bird
just to be like
what
no
I'm not
I don't want to date
a Premier League
centre back
fucking Premier League
six foot ten
you don't want to
you don't want to
date an LA Laker
it would be brutal wouldn't it every day that you went out how tall are you Fucking Premier League 6'10". You're not going to date an LA Laker.

Thank you
Have a good day Adam
Yeah no I can't be dating someone that tall.
I just feel emasculated all the time.
I'd rather have a little fucking tiny one running around.
You know what I mean?
If I ever get pissed off with her,
I can just put her on a shelf for a bit.
I have said it before.
I like a little bit of junk in all of the trunk, and, you know,
just, yeah, people have got game, they've got game, it's not about your shape and size,
you can have a preference, some attractive, sexy people are the shape they are, that's fine,
but there would be something, for me, quite intriguing about just a giant woman,
something for me quite intriguing about just a giant woman to just know that i couldn't do if she was just wanted to just pin me down and i just be like i can't do anything about this
do you know what i mean it's a it'd be a weird feeling i've never been with a girl that could
beat me up if it not like fucking pying each other in like weapons i'm just talking wrestling
i could always win i think it would be intriguing to be like,
oh my god, oh my god.
She's got me. Be gentle.
Do you not think?
No. I need to know.
I could knock her out.
No, don't knock her out.
Just put her to sleep in a chokehold.
Hey, hey.
Just get in there.
Hey, it doesn't matter about the dishes. If little... Shh, shh, shh. Can't, can't. Shh, shh, shh.
Hey, doesn't matter about the dishes.
If you're unconscious, go to sleep.
That's it, go to sleep.
Happy birthday.
Yeah, no, I don't want a massive girlfriend.
Sorry.
You made that one easy.
Okay.
I was just intrigued. A tiny one. one you pick it up do whatever you want sexually that opens so many doors being able to definitely be able to pick them up
what fairy doors um would you would you rather be head of a mexican drug cartel
with all the power and wealth but continuously be hunted down by an ambitious...
David Jukes, who sent this in, can I just say,
the wonderful amount of detail you went into.
A Mexican drug cartel leader with power and wealth,
but you're continuously hunted down by an ambitious,
career-driven fed who may take you down at any time.
Or would you rather be the ambitious career driven
fed that pursues the Mexican drug cartel
but has the threat of being taken
out at any time
what would you rather
would you rather be the
I'd rather be the head of the Mexican drug cartel

and be a brilliant, successful actor.
I would say this, though.
Just as a safety net,
next time you get offered a drive-through gig near Preston,
I'd fucking take it, mate.
Do you know what I mean?
Just to be safe.
Just to be safe.
Do you want me to play the other role?
Do you want me to be the FBI guy?
Yeah.
So you see which one you think I'm most useful for?
I'm just thinking...
I don't know how you're topping Christopher Walken Mexican, but...
Okay.
We've been after this guy for four fucking years.
He's not getting away again.
What is it?
What was that?
What did we do?
We've been after this guy for four fucking years.
He ain't get away again.
Why is he Australian?
What you should be asking is why isn't he Australian?
I tell you what I do. i don't want to work with
people who think inside the box i want to be with people who take the box kick it around a bit smash
it to pieces and put it back together as a sale i don't work inside the box i stand on the box
in a field with a load of cars watching me so So don't talk about the fucking box.
I brought the box.
It's a nice box, lad.
Just to be clear,
I meant his vagina,
and not the coffin.
Oh, well, that's fine.
Just in case you were wondering in what way you should be upset.
That's fine, then. God, I was about to be offended on behalf of my dead mother, well, that's fine. In what way you should be upset? That's fine, then.
I was about to be offended on behalf of my dead mother, then,
but luckily you clarified.
That is how you repay me.
You come onto a podcast that I love,
and you talk about my mother's box.
Box?
I can't compete with Al Pacino.
She got a great ass.
Oh,
mate,
making a note,
we're having an accent off.
Ladies and gents,
the good people of Have A Word,
let us know what accents you want me and Adam to do.
In fact,
in the vein of today's episode,
for Friday,
let us know
what we would like to do some characters.
What I'd like is nationality or region
where they're from and what they do
that's what we want
also an adjective would really be good
so let's do a random
you can also throw in
an actor if you want
so if you want us to do Al Pacino
playing a dog walker from Somerset,
then put that in there.
Right.
Making things way more complicated.
I've chosen the adjective and I've chosen the job.
I'd like you, blind, to pick out the region, accent,
or nationality that I'll put in the middle
Adam, go
Congolese
you fucking dickhead
right
I'll show you what I've got
horny
Congolese fisherman
right
okay
okay
wait wait wait
I'm playing someone as well
so I come into the scene
you're the horny Congolese fisherman
No, no, no, no, no
Now, now, now, write down
I want you to write down
No, fuck
You write down an adjective
And a job
And I'll choose the nationality
Okay
Fucking Congolese, you rat
That's entrapment
Wish I was doing a drive-thru gig right now
Pull your handbrakes up
If you've seen live comedy in a field before
What have you got? Go on up if you've seen live comedy in a field before.
What have you got?
Go on.
Can I pick the nation now?
Brilliant.
Okie doke.
Let me just think.
Chinese.
So I've got angry Chinese car park attendants.
Right, can we do them individually?
Because these two cunts can't have a conversation.
There is no scene.
No, it's only fun if they meet.
Oh, yeah, it'd be boring on its own, wouldn't it?
A horny Congolese fisherman.
Where's the comedy there?
I mean, I don't think you could do the character of a horny Congolese fisherman. Where's the comedy there? I mean, I don't think you could
do the character of a horny
Congolese fisherman. It's not fun.
An angry Chinese car park
attendant. Where would the comedy come from?
Unless they talk to each other.
Listen, so, the
angry, the horny Congolese
fisherman is having a fish
and he's
left his car parked with a ticket
in the fishing car park.
Okay.
Let me do my voice.
I'm here. Yo, yo, Mr. Man
with the fishing rod. Let me ask you
a question. Why are you
shouting at me?
You do not have the right...
Yo, I've left your car. There's no
ticket on it.
I do not need a ticket.
My father and my father's father
have fished off this car park,
off the coast of this car park.
Also, I am just remembering
that the Congo is landlocked,
so I don't know what the fuck I'd be doing
as a Congolese fisherman.
This Congolese fisherman needs to fucking concentrate.
Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me.
Why are you fucking the fish?
Why are you fucking it?
Are you honey or something?
I would never fuck the fish.
If you give a man a fish,
he can feed his family for two days.
If you fuck a fish,
nobody can eat it.
I think you read the wrong part of the Bible.
I tell you what though.
I don't know where I'm meant to be from.
I tell you what though.
Yeah, I like it when you're angry.
You're very,
you're very attractive
in your NCP
uniform
right
I want some suggestions
for Friday
we're going to have an accent off
they don't need to meet
as I think we've just worked out
individually
it's fine
we'll do a little
we'll do a little like
FA cup draw
and we'll
we'll make them have conversations
you can't do horny Congolese or fisherman we've had it horny Congolese fisherman may it never We'll do a little FA Cup draw and we'll make them have conversations.
You can't do horny Congolese or fisherman.
We've added horny Congolese fisherman.
May it never... When is that?
Again, I think that might be another world first.
Who's ever been like,
you know what I'm going to write down on a piece of paper?
Horny Congolese fisherman.
Because there's no fisherman from the Congo.
What do you mean there's no fisherman?
Right. Just because it's
landlocked doesn't mean there isn't a leak.
Oh, of course. I meant like, you know,
yeah, you were right, by the way.
I've just seen your WhatsApp about that cunt that fucking
set me up for that corporate, Adam.
Really? Yeah, you banged on. He was an absolute bellin'.
I hadn't realised you'd messaged me going,
who's that, mate? Was it this gun?
I'm like, fucking yes, it was.
I'd fucking love to horny Congolese fisherman him.
That doesn't make sense.
Let me just look. The Congo.
Let me have a look at the Congo on a map.
Right in the middle of Africa.
I'll tell you what.
Way down deep in the middle of the Congo.
Oh, yeah.
I meant fishermen as in off the coast, you know, feeding the...
But of course...
Oh, but Adam, of course, there's the...
There's big lakes.
There's the Lakmai and Dombe.
So they could be fishing in there.
Of course, yeah, they could be.
Yeah.
I just...
Yeah, good thinking.

I'm in a very serious mood now.
Okay.
Morning, Adam and Dan.
Love the pod, especially Wednesday's episode.
This week, Adam was on fire.
Oh, Jesus.
Thank you.
Can you help solve an eight-year-old mystery?
I used to live in a flat in town, by which I assume he means Liverpool,
and my amazing girlfriend at the time, now wife,
would put up with me bringing a few mates back after a night out.
One particular night got a bit messy and two mates stayed over.
The next morning, my missus woke me up and demanded I come into the kitchen
where she had found a massive human shit in our kitchen bin.
What?
So, just repeat that. I want to say I drifted a little bit. bin. What?
So, just repeat that.
I want to say I drifted a little bit
and then you, I can't believe I drifted.
I'm so sorry.
So, he brought two of his mates
back after a night out
to carry on drinking or doing whatever
in the kitchen. And the next
morning, his missus woke him up and she
wanted an explanation because she'd found a massive human shit in the kitchen and the next morning his missus woke him up and she wanted an explanation because she
had found a massive human shit in the kitchen bin so this day both of my mates deny it was them
and i'm 99 certain it wasn't me i love how we can't commit to that. One mate who it's spelled M-A-L
A-C-H-Y. So I'm going to say
Malachi. One mate, Malachi
was known to need an urgent
shit whenever he'd been
doing cocaine.
The other mate, Sam, had never been
to the flat before and the only other
evidence I have is that my wife
recalls someone opening our bedroom
door in the middle of the night and then quickly
closing it, presumably looking for
the toilet. One of these
two dirty bastards shat in my bin
and I'm hoping a shout out on the podcast
and me forcing them to listen to it
will finally make one of them come clean
no pun intended.
Something they clearly didn't manage to do on the
night as although we found the shit
in the bin, we didn't manage to do on the night, as although we found the shit in the bin,
we didn't find any toilet roll.
Malachi left pretty early the morning after because I confronted them both,
but Sam stayed around for a while,
perhaps to try and appear innocent.
We've all moved away from Liverpool now,
so we have lost touch,
and it was probably two years since we were all together,
and even then,
neither of them would admit to it.
I don't know if they listen to the pod,
but I'll certainly be making them have a listen if I can finally get some help getting to the bottom of this.
For what it's worth, I always
thought it was Sam, due to him
not being in the flat before, and the fact
he hung around the next day longer than someone
normally would. He was also a
bit cooler than us, and had more of a
reputation to uphold.
Whereas Malachi, being a
dirty cunt from County Tyrone
in Northern Ireland, likely... Malachi.
Fucking Malachi.
Malachi. It will be, won't it, if he's from
County Tyrone.
Fucking Malachi. Is it?
County Tyrone. I don't know.
Well, he reckons Malachi doesn't give a shit about wordy shit,
or who knows it.
Oh, mate.
She has lent from John a word as original.
P.S.
There is another option that you could opt for,
which is that the wife shat in our own bin
so that I'd stop bringing mates back,
sniffing Lemo,
and playing Oasis songs like
twat at 4am when she was in bed. If it was her all this time, then she's a scary genius.
Over to you, Dan.
Right, well, first of all, this needs saying.
Disgusting!
And just again.
Disgusting!
Because it's never been more apt.
Can we just before...
Well, it was fucking one, yes!
It was fucking one, yes!
Before we get going,
John, that bit of conspiracy
theory you threw out at the end,
you can literally draw a line
through that.
Your wife didn't shit
in her own bin
just to stop you bringing
your mates around.
I get it.
You'd be like,
women are clever.
Yeah, but women aren't clever shitting a bin
like clever.
That's not necessarily clever.
That's mental.
Can I say right now
that if I had to hazard a guess,
I would say that
that's actually what happened.
Where is it?
No.
No, you wouldn't. No, you wouldn't.
No, you wouldn't.
No, 100% would.
You think the wife who wasn't drinking...
I would not put a patchy to shit in our bin
to stop me bringing mates round.
Like, late and waking her up.
I reckon women are totally capable of that.
I think you're being naive because you've got a good wife.
Right.
I'm going to...
The good life.
Oh, sorry, the good wife. I'm going to, the good life, oh, sorry, the good wife.
I'm going to work backwards through the theories, right?
Okay.
One, the wife.
Adam likes that idea.
I do not.
I just, I cannot see a girlfriend going,
you know what, I'm fucking sick of these dickheads.
They keep coming around, fucking pissing me off.
How am I going to get rid of them? I'm going to do something that one of them could do that is frankly, and then I'm
going to pretend it was one of them. I know they could shit in the bin. No one would plan to be
like, where could they shit? They do it. You do on the kitchen floor. You'd poo on the toilet,
not in it. Who would be like, I'm going to shit in the bin. That's what these morons would do.
I personally, I need to draw a line through the wife.
Then, go on.
But doesn't that make it perfect?
The fact that all these years later,
you immediately dismiss her from suspect-tion.
Suspect, suspect.
Right.
Being a suspect.
That's like... She's being a suspect that's like
she's not a suspect
in your mind
because she nailed it
so perfectly
maybe she would have
thought I'll shit on
the toilet seat
but then all these
years later on this
podcast you'd have
been like that could
easily be in here
that but she didn't
she's one step ahead
of everyone
right
and she always has
been the dirty
fucker
right
so that's like
being woken
first thing in the
morning
saturday morning
trying to have a lie in,
and your missus is next to you,
and you feel a really strong punch in the fucking eye,
and you go, oh, oh, fucking hell, what did you punch me for?
And Jade goes, it's aliens.
It was aliens.
Aliens came down and smacked you in the face.
Aliens punched you.
What the fuck are you talking about?
And then you go, oh, well is it fuck aliens it's you
but hang on it's so obvious that it's you if you punch me that'd be too obvious do you know what
i mean like some things are obvious because they fucking happen is it because it's possible that
she's shitting the bed it's not possible that aliens came down right listen let me just work
through that was the worst analogy i've ever come up with
but i knew what i meant shut up you fucking rat just because you work for chicago la
right sam sam who fucked who didn't fuck off who stuck around you again you're second guessing
yourself too much john you're like no like, no, well, she definitely,
no one would think she shot in the bin,
so she could have.
Sam stuck around.
So that's, if you were guilty, but you were clever,
and you were, like, playing the long game,
you'd stick around to make someone think
that you didn't fuck off because you were guilty?
No, mate.
That leaves us with Malachi.
Malachi.
Malachi. I don't know how to say this cunt's name but he he's got a history of doing cocaine plops which mate i have been there i have
been at some cool fucking after parties had my first line of 3 30 a.m beak with some fucking
attractive looking girls knocking about and then realized there's baby laxatives in there
and I need an almighty dump.
When you've been boozing, it's late on
and then it's one of those flats, you know,
and the flats haven't got a window to the bathroom
and you go in there and you're like,
oh, it's one of those permanently warm flat bathrooms
and you do a fucking horrible dump.
I think Malachi's had a little bit of the cocaine squirts.
The chingles. Well, Malachi had been to the house
before, so he would know where the
bathroom is.
Why would he shit in the bin?
They've been drinking.
They've been drinking and doing
fucking beak. And you're like,
well, if you knew where the toilet was,
I don't see how he could have pooed on the floor
and then picked it up
and put it in the bin
like
does that get
that gets Malachi
off the hook doesn't he
he's a fucking cocaine fiend
that has a history
of pooing his pants on cocaine
and in the morning
he fucked off
and his only defence is
he knows where the toilet is
so
how can it be him
there's also no toilet roll found
so you're telling me
he picked it up with his bare hands?
What if he...
Whoever did this, purposefully
shot in the bin.
He maybe just...
I'm telling you right now, I'm never coming to a
house party in yours, because with
my medical history, if someone shits
in your bin based on this, you're gonna
blame me.
Mate, I know what you mean. Don't play the victim, you're going to blame me. Mate, I know what you
mean. Don't play the victim, you big
fan-jeeter.
You'll get your sugar. Have a
Haribo. I think you just need a little tub of, like,
fucking jelly beans at the side.
I was passing on yours,
knowing that if someone shits in your bin,
I'm going to be suspect number one.
Yeah, but you know what? If you do,
if that happens, you'll be like, it's fucking Laura.
Look at her, all angry,
pretending to be fucking angry.
Like, you know, it's someone, isn't it?
And you've got IBS.
Malachi.
Malachi.
What does that mean?
Malarkey.
Maliki.
I hope he's not Asian.
Everything that we've looked at so far
points to the wife.
She's got the perfect crime here.
She shits in the bin. She knows one she's got the perfect crime here she's shitting
the bin she knows one of his mates got a long history of shitting and stuff how have you she
knows what she's doing and she's in your head she's not in mine because i control the fucking
game but she's got in your head mate because you're like oh women don't shit in bins women
shit in whatever they fucking like if it means getting their own way i don't know how with so
many people i mean i don't even know how john's he was 99 sure that one percent could equal a
shit in the bin i don't know how you have managed to get so many other words like no no no it's none
of these lads they seem good they seem all right it's that fucking wife it's a woman there's women listening to this going adam it fucking wasn't her
we need some follow-up what a coincidence we need some follow-up we need some follow-up john
if you're hearing this we need we need i need i need a character reference i need i need your
missus i need your missus to email in i want some closure on this because I think Adam has gone all fucking 9-11 bin shit on you.
I don't think Jade would.
His wife did it.
I'm telling you right now.
Jade, I'm telling you right now.
Jade would not shit in a bin.
You do not know her well enough, my friend.
Is she napping?
No, she's awake.
But she's woke up
with a stiff neck
so she looks like
a fucking robot.
Yeah, because she's had
to bend around the fucking bin
to do her crap.
Sorry.
Right.
I'm just telling you right now,
everyone listening,
Adam has had enough of me.
He's having a sugar low.
We've done loads of...
I want to get to the bottom of this.
I don't care if it takes
six fucking weeks, mate.
John, email back in.
I need a character reference.
I need to know the sneakiest thing
you've ever caught your wife doing.
What has your wife done
that makes it possible, in your opinion?
Oh, Adam, I love how your brain works.
This is going to serve you so well in Chicago law.
You just see it you see it
exactly
Malachi I put a tenner on it
and he owed me 15
am I right in assuming John
that Malachi knew where the toilet was
and that there was nothing
on the floor to suggest the shit
had been done on the floor and then moved to the bin
am I right in assuming that the shit was put directly into the bin from the
bum hole?
Straight,
a clean break.
The poo shoot.
That's what I'm assuming based on the information given no toilet roll found
what was,
what was used to move it.
Yeah.
I think John's not out of the fucking firing range on this one.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't me.
He knew where the bin was.
Wow, that was fascinating.
Not, again, we've not got to the bottom of it,
but I think, you know.
Telling you right now, though.
Go on.
If this was an episode of Chicago Law,
and it's like season two,
and I now work for the prosecution.
Yeah.
Then my suspect number one
right in the middle
of me fucking
um
cork board
yeah
is the wife
cork board
is the one with all the
fucking strings coming off
to all their connected people
Malachi
Malachi
Malachi
that dirty fucker
well we've laughed and we've cried Malarkey, Malarkey, Malakai. That dirty fucker.
Well,
we've laughed and we've cried.
We've played Congolese fishermen.
And all good things must come to an end.
And this definitely must.
I hope he gets back in touch with us before Wednesday or Friday
so that we can
move to the next episode of Chicago Lar.
Chicago Lar.
I can't believe we ended up with a mystery
at the end of the Chicago Lar episode.
Honduri.
Misadventure.
That's what your ma's nickname is for me, lad.
Honduri. Honduri. Got a song for me, lad. Home Judy.
Home Judy.
Got a song for you, if you want one.
If you want one, give you the fucking song, won't I?
The song is called Regina George,
who people will know is a character from the hit teen movie Mean Girls.
The artist is called Kate Nichol.
Kate is a singer-songwriter from Kirrimur in Scotland.
She turned 17 a few weeks ago,
but had released her first entirely self-written EP
at the end of February.
She says, although I know that they could possibly be improved on,
the tracks on the EP,
I am proud of my work as recording this EP
was my first experience in the studio.
And I also know that I have many years ahead of me
and I'm yet to learn new things in
music and find my sound. Playing,
singing and songwriting are my favourite things
to do and I would love to be able to make a living
out of it one day. I would really appreciate
so much if anyone was
willing to check out these songs and give me some
feedback. This is the song Regina George.
Stick around for after the song and
you'll hear our list of Patreon producers
who pay us £10 a month
and get some exclusive bonus content
in return as well as some merch
discounts and shit. See you
soon, guys. See you later. I want you to hear me out
I wanna scream and shout
About all the things you've said and done to put me down
I'm gonna sing my heart out
And do things my way
I'm not gonna be defined by the cruel words
That once escaped your mouth
Only gonna take
The things I deserve
I'm not gonna turn a blind eye to
Important lessons that I've learned
I wanna be controlled
I can do this on my own Don't let your judgments or love
And it's you that it's all
Because you're gonna end up alone
No, I don't need your drama
I don't need your lies
I'm so tired of the backstabbing all of the time
It's the end of the day, this is real life
You can't be Regina George
Next best friend will survive
No, I will not cry
Over your cruel intentions
Cause someday someone's gonna come along
And give you what you've been deserving
Gonna build a branch
Out of the bricks you threw me
And I'm gonna build it tall
And make it high so
You're too small to reach
I'm not going to accept
The things that I don't deserve
I'm not gonna turn a blind I don't want to think sure
Say to put my name in the dirt
Don't need your excuses
Because I don't wanna fix this
It is you that it's up and straight
But it's not running
You're gonna end up alone
No, I don't need your drama
I don't need your drama, I don't need
your lies I'm so tired of the backstabbing all of the
time At the end of the day, this is real life
You can't be Regina George and expect to survive
Cause I'd rather be a freak than be part of your clique Tired of knives in my back, making me feel weak
So now I'm moving on, walking away from all that
God bless, there's all wounds, healing like battle scars
I'm gonna build my big bridge over your body
And I hope to God someday you begin to feel sorry
But everything you did to make me feel unworthy
Cause your friends will leave you and you'll be so lonely
No, I don't need your drama, I don't need your lies
I'm so tired of the backstabbing all of the time
At the end of the day, I can't say I didn't try
You can be Regina George and expect to survive
No, I don't need your drama, I don't need your lies
I'm so tired of the backstabbing all of the time
It's the end of the day, this is real life
You can't be Regina George and expect to survive
Oh yeah
Oh Oh yeah Oh
Can't be Regina George
And expect to survive
