Oh, hello. Oh. Mama like that. Mama like that mama like that oh adam's wearing his fucking sexy andy warhol tupac
t-shirt i can't hear you but i know you're being a cunt oh i'm genuinely i've already pressed record
and i'm really glad that everyone heard that that's not that's not the mood i'm in today
still he still can't hear me.
Genuinely, I've just been laughing
because I'm already recording
and I was like, oh, hello.
And I was literally going,
oh, I like his t-shirt.
Mama like that.
Mama like that.
And I was like, oh, it's a nice two-pack, Andy.
And you were like, I can't hear you,
but I know you're being a cunt.
I thought I was being really nice, actually.
Well, that says more about you
than it does about me.
That says that you're nasty to me more often than you're nice,
and that's why I assumed it.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm arguing like a fucking woman today.
Jesus Christ.
Right in that situation, I was a bellend, wasn't I?
I was a bellend, but I turned it round
and made you look like the bellend like a fucking woman does.
I've been gaslighted.
Am I being gaslighted?
Oh, Adam, I am in a fucking good mood.
Oh, I feel fucking great.
Did you get laid last night?
No. No? No.
No.
No.
And don't get me wrong, that would have been an absolute touch.
My darling wife, if you're listening,
anytime you want, see you before Christmas.
But I've been out for a bit of exercise.
I've jiggled my tits around the village.
And I have started to believe that we are going to one meter,
and I think venues are going to be open from the start of July.
I think it's about to go down.
But there's a lot of venues that can't.
Okay, okay, okay.
I get it.
I get there's some that can't okay okay okay i get it i get there's some that can't but i'm telling you
i think today's press conference they've just turned the little like fucking number blocks
meter down from to three which is like instead of like it's like and i think that's them going
you know what's really fucking annoying go on really annoying right you see what you've just
done you just i'm just going to verbat. Right. You see what you've just done.
You just,
I'm just going to verbatim repeat back to you what you've just said.
They've turned it down from four to three,
which means it's not,
it's not right.
And we've been doing this podcast so intensely and so often that what you've just said makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
And I knew exactly what you feel.
You're in my mind mind i'm in your mind
we're gaslighting each other i think i think he's gonna say that it's one meter and i think some
venues are going to be able to open from the start of july some won't i think some will and i am not
saying that that is all good there's going to be a lot of people who hear that and go that's
reckless it's dangerous but i think there's also a lot of people who are like we have to get moving
and people are going to have to take personal responsibility and daddy wants to fucking make
some money from the comedy before a he forgets how to do comedy and B, I spend the fucking savings on Amazon.
I need some income.
It's all fucking outgoing.
I tell you what, right?
Last night, I did
a gig.
I went
to Hot Water last night.
So, before
this all kicked off, there was a gig booked on
the Isle of Man,
and it was sort of an affiliate of Hot Water Comedy Club.
They weren't running it,
but there was a guy on the Isle of Man who wanted a gig
at his pub or whatever,
so Hot Water booked it,
and they specifically asked for me when it was booked
because Paul Smith was not available.
I was in their price range.
I'm about six down that list as well it goes paul adam and freddie danny then a couple other than it i'm like i'm our eighth or ninth i'm pushing
for europa in hot water priority um and so the gig got cancelled but right now the isle of man
is covid free and there's no social distancing
on the Isle of Man, everything's open
no social distancing in place at all
so he messaged me last week
yeah 100%
is it shut down travel wise?
no, he messaged me last week
just no one wants to go
so they don't need to shut it down
no one's going to visit
he messaged me and was like we're open again so do you want to come over and do this gig to go so they don't need to show it down. No one's going to visit, are they?
He messaged me and was like,
we're open again, so do you want to come over and do this gig? We can just reschedule it for next week
and I'm pretty sure we'll just be able to sell the tickets.
And I was like, mate, I'm sorry, but I don't feel comfortable
getting on a fucking plane at the minute. I don't know whether
I'll have to quarantine when I get back, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So he
got into some hot water
and what they did last night was,
you know like all these Zoom gigs that have been done
they did one of them
but exclusively
streamed to his pub
so
Danny McLachlan compared
Jamie Sutherland opened
Freddie Quinn went on second and I closed
the night out. A hot water
to no audience. Now
as our listeners and you are aware, since lockdown
has happened, there's been a lot of gigs like this.
Most of them done via Zoom in the comfort
of your own home. Hot Water and the
Stand Comedy Club have started doing
them at the venue.
And the reason I
said yes to this one is twofold.
First of all, I didn't want to say no to Paul
Blair, who owns Hot Water Comedy Club again.
I've turned down a lot of what he sent my way over
the lockdown, and I owe that
club a lot. I literally owe them most of my career.
They've been amazing for me, so I was like,
okay. And also,
this guy specifically wanted me,
and I was like, if I'm going to do one of these
Zoom gigs, instead of doing one that gets publicly
broadcast to fucking everyone,
I'd rather do it, if it's going to be shit,
and I'm not going to enjoy it, I'd rather
it just be to 40 people in a pub on the
Isle of Man. Who will love it?
You know they'll love it, but no one can watch
it on YouTube after the fact.
100%. And I did it
last night and being back
in a comedy club and just
having a couple of me mates there
was so much fun.
Just bitching when someone else is on stage,
knowing they're bitching about you
when you're on.
It was just fun.
That was really good.
But it has not made me want to do another gig.
It's not the same.
It's not right.
Performing to no audience
and just pausing for effect.
It was weird.
And I have forgotten
every fucking joke i've ever written
so you know i did you know i did the covid arms for kiri a couple of weeks ago and we've had a
few listeners i've had tweets saying oh we loved it and i i literally the podcast i was like hi
i'm done i didn't get i start literally on the video in front of this i go oh what's this behind
me oh i've got a podcast i was like there was 4 000 people watching i was like i was letting everyone know
so the for the benefits of our listeners the covid arms which dan has just referenced is a
virtual pub that was set up by comedian uh kiri pritchard mclean who started about a similar time
to me she's from north wales and she set up this thing
and they they take donations don't they for this uh event that's on every week like a donation
ticket in it yeah big name comedians on uh and what they do is they split it 50 50 half goes
the comedians half goes to the trussell trust is that right yeah something like that yeah um which
is a a great thing and yeah
so what was that like we so you were sat there but were you doing stand-up is that the idea of it
yes it's a it's a she i mean kiri's one of the hardest workers and she's also me and danny
mack talked about this a couple years ago she're trying to describe her because we're both mates with her.
She's one of the best fucking plate spinners in the whole industry.
She makes comics like, I do stand-up.
And what else?
And just stand-up.
Well, I do a stand-up and a podcast.
And she's like, well, what else?
And you're like, nothing.
She's got like seven fucking plates spinning.
She's incredible for that.
And as soon as it hit, she used all the contacts and all her nows like, nothing? She's got like seven fucking plates spinning. She's incredible for that.
And as soon as it hit, she used all the contacts and all her nows to start basically a live stream comedy gig and branded it as a pub. Like it's the COVID arms. It's like a pub, but really it's just
one of these Zoom gigs. You and me have worked so hard on this pod i think we must be up at around the 55 how many episodes
have we done in a shutdown 60 no 50 odd we must be 50 yeah because i think we were on like episode
13 or 14 when we when we went we've done it was like the end of march one and we didn't start
till the middle of january and we've done four or five patreon episodes it's 50 odd but she shut down she just went straight for stream gig stream gigs
it's literally taken some comedy clubs till like two weeks ago to start thinking about doing a
stream gig it's amazing if you just hit the ground running what you can achieve three to four thousand people pay to watch it
either um in the front row which is a bit more and then there's like a stream and there's a code to
it and you and me well it's like the same as all of these zoom meetings where they pay extra and
then they're in the front row and they and they can be taught to so the guy like they can be
interacted with so everyone else's page is just seeing the stream amazing amazingly well done and like you and me
said because we when we when this kicked off adam was like i'm not doing one of the live stream gigs
and i was like well neither am i i've done two pre-record things one for john richardson one for
the stand that's easy because pre-records you just get to do three to five minutes of stand
up and if it's gone wrong you press delete and you do it again so much control in that that's
like having a fucking that's like one of those adam sandler films with like a rewind button
like it's genius god if you could have had that for every gig you've ever had
um but yeah the stream gigs i've just avoided them because i'm like yeah it's like what's the
there's so many analogies but like adam just said about it's not the same it's like sex without a
condom compared to sex in like a hazmat suit it it is sort of the same but it's definitely
not the real deal the covid arms was i think really really friendly and that was that
was just a a way better atmosphere than oh i don't know like it's just a it it's been it was easy
because kiri made it easy because she's a mate and there's no pressure but i just i saw it for
what it was and like it was three and a half thousand people watching and a chance to like sell the podcast. I was like, I can't remember
my new bits. I can't try new stuff. And at one point I was like, she laughed at one of my bits
because you can see her on the screen. I was like, that's very generous, Kiri, because that's
eight years old. That bit's like one of my oldest intro bits. And she was like, oh, it's great. I
was like, yeah, but you've seen it 180 times. And she was like, yeah, that intro bits and she was like oh it's great i was like yeah but you've seen it 180 times and she was like yeah that's fine i was like i just didn't want to do new stuff she
was like you could do new stuff i'm not going in front of three and a half thousand people
to be like hi guys hi everyone oh who's on after me frankie boyle well let me tell you what i've
been uh thinking about um i feel nervous about shaking hands with black guys.
Okay, maybe another different bit of new material.
Oh, God, not that one.
It's just the wrong time to try new bits, isn't it?
And I just played it safe with the short, funny stuff that I knew.
But like Adam said, there's a bit where you're going,
hang on, where does this end, this bit?
You know the start, you know the name of the bit, and then you going hang on where does this end this bit you know the start
you know the name of the bit and then you're like where does this end and i think i also i i last
night i was pretty conscious and this is stupid because it was 40 people in the isle of man
but for me i was like i don't want to do any jokes i've put on me special
they're dead so i tried to avoid them.
And I did.
I think I did like two or three lines in 20 minutes,
two or three lines that are on the special.
But there's a bit that I did last night where I have to really commit to it.
And normally, with the energy of the room,
the committing to the bit really helps.
But I thought, you know what?
If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it fucking properly. And I committed like committing to the bit really helps but I thought you know what if I'm going to do it I'm going to do it fucking properly and I committed like fuck to that bit
and it just made me feel really
odd at the end
because as I got to the end of the bit
and I've put like this rambunctious
rollicking energy into this
set to a room full of two people
and gone better better better
and a punchline!
Do you know who you don't want?
Do you know who you don't want
in the back of the room at that point?
Freddie Quinn and Danny
fucking Mac at the back like
as you're giving it
everything and you've got two of your mates
at the back like, uh, Berlin!
Well luckily Freddie left to get his train before the end of my set so that was helpful. What was really funny with Freddie everything and you've got two of your mates at the back like uh bear land well luckily freddie
left to get his train before the end of my set so that was helpful what was really funny with
freddie though me and danny both looked at each other because everyone was nervous which is weird
i was more nervous for last night's gig than i was going on at the royal albert hall to do that gig
and i'm not even messing and And you can tell Danny was more nervous
than I've ever seen him,
even though he's done 10 of these now.
And Freddie's done a few of them
and he was nervous.
And when you're nervous,
you make little basic errors.
And me and Danny were fucking pissing ourselves
at the sort of Fred he did.
I've got to tell you this.
So he's got this bit about
how lazy he's been in shutdown, right?
And he goes, this is so fucking stupid.
He goes, one day, I know my grandkids.
Grandkids.
I know my grandkids are going to say, Uncle Freddy.
What did you do during the shutdown right can i just say if we if we ever do have a word pure stand-up shows not the podcast record
if we just get freddie sean mclaughlin alfie brown all these names that we've mentioned loads to do stand up i
would love the ability to heckle with my soundboard i think i want to tech it more than i
actually want to like host it like could you imagine if he just said that uh i was so lazy
very lazy and i was like i said to my grandkids, and they'll say, Uncle Freddy.
And at the back,
I'll be like,
order,
order,
order.
Has it,
has it,
has it not made you excited
that genuinely
there is now talk
of some venues
putting gigs on
from the start of July?
I'm so, so, so, so, so excited for that.
But another reason I did last night more than I did anywhere else is I thought
being on stage at my favourite comedy club, my home club,
with the tech set up that I knew Hot Water would have in place, which they have,
I thought that would be the best way to do it.
And I was right.
It absolutely is the best way to do it.
And it would have been better if I had a front row,
which they have been doing a hot water.
So on a Saturday night,
they do have people on the front row of this thing.
Yeah, I was there at the one that didn't work.
Do you remember?
It's all the bugs now, right? But last one that didn't work do you remember? it's all the bugs now
but last night they didn't do it
because they couldn't get the tech set up in the Isle of Man
so the only
I would be tempted at Hot Water
to do another one if there was a front row
just to try it and see what it's like
but
Hot Water's tech set up is incredible
what they've done is brilliant
and if you're going to watch any of these gigs,
I'd encourage you to watch theirs
because they're really making a go of this.
But I really don't want to do another one myself.
It's just not the same.
And I feel like I've been in a relationship.
It's like trying to come off heroin with fucking Senecot.
That's some good shit,
boy.
Oh, you're a crack addict. Have you tried
strepsils?
Tired of smoking them, bitch.
Oh, yeah.
Well, bring on them.
It's going to be
if some venues can't open and others can,
there is going to be far fewer gigs.
There's going to be way less gigs available.
And it's going to be like, have you ever been to wherever they've got fish in a pond
and then someone just throws a couple of breadcrumbs in
and the shitloads of fish just rush to the fucking service and they see the big big fish coming it's going to be a feeding frenzy
and in theory the higher you are up the league table which isn't by the way it's not published
anywhere it's just a weird thing that we've got in our heads and promoters sort of prioritize
certain acts over others i think the headliners
are going to get the first bits of work, aren't they? And if you're an up-and-coming act,
or like, sorry, go on.
I think so, and selfishly I hope so.
And if you're a middle, or an up-and-coming act, or a less established act, and you're
like, oh, it's fucking bullshit, that's's absolutely bullshit so how long until i get bookings i had this thought which is brutal i'd let that happen because
essentially the headliners the big the big fish are going to be a test case of whether
covid19 one meter socially distanced comedy gigs work because if we all get the virus
and we're dead in a month and a half there's going to be
loads of fucking spots available and honestly even though i am a headliner there's a part of me
thinks that would be so good if you're like what was the bill meant to be well it's meant to be
rob rouse mick ferry joe caulfield steve grribben didn't make it
so
who's closing?
Freddie Quinn
they're letting Freddie
finally close it
oh
oh fuck me

All right, back to the pod.
Your ma and da listen to Have A Word.
Okay, so you've prepped today's episode, right?
However, however, just before we go into your thing,
I was on Twitter before, and
someone I know from way back
had put a Would You Rather on
his Twitter feed, and we haven't
done it yet, and I just want to fire it at you.
I literally seen it about 10 minutes before the episode.
Because I know you love Would You Rather so much,
I've set up a load as well.
Yes! But all from listeners.
These are all from listeners.
Would you rather have no arms or no
dick?
Oh, God.
I'll tell you right
now, I'd go no arms.
Just so that when I do a dive
and I do football, I look like a javelin.
Just so that when I do a diving head in football, I look like a javelin.
Imagine the fucking speed you'd get at a diving head with no arms.
Especially you, a bald, no-armed man.
Oh!
Like, perfect for fucking... As long as I didn't have an erection there'd be no splash
fucking Mazda
oh my god
but how desperate
for sex would you be
how would you masturbate
oh by the way
it was specified as well on the tweet
you've still got your balls
so you need to masturbate and you've got
no arms and as we know if you don't get your cum out your balls. So you need to masturbate and you've got no arms.
And as we know,
if you don't get your cum out, your balls just end up
fucking enormous. They just get stored up.
Oh my god.
You'd be...
I don't even know what you'd do.
What would you do?
You'd throw your face up and away though, couldn't you?
My wife
would be like, where's him?
I took the washing out of the washing machine about half an hour Yeah. A built-in space. My wife would be like, where's him? I've just taken...
I took the washing out of the washing machine about half an hour ago.
Where is it?
And there'd just be me round the back of the kitchen
trying to hump the fucking wet washing.
Dirty.
Oh, that would be torture.
But then again, being a G.I. Joe,
smooth dozer on the crotch is just fucking weird isn't it well
obviously it's weird i reckon we're much closer to having robotic arms than we are to having
robotic dicks you know what i mean love a robot dick like a fucking transformer
you could definitely we're like a few years away, max,
from being able to just get like a...
Like we're toys.
Just being able to go,
right, your arm's off, kid,
but here's a better one.
You just stick it into your shoulder
and you've got an arm.
It's going to be a while before they get the nerve
and then try for that to be a dick, isn't it?
Like it's harder to make a computerized penis than a computerized arm
yeah imagine if a fault in that
you're just on the bus and your robot dicks
fucking banging the seat in front of you like what's that
and before anyone tweets in going it's already robotics they're called dildos
and rampant rabbits no I'm not saying
just a fucking phallic thing
I'm talking like where you could
tickle the end of it and it gets you all excited
yeah but hang on
you would
have it wouldn't you I mean you're not just gonna
get your little
we've got so many options Mr O
and I'm so sorry about the operation it's a terrible
bicycle accident i don't lost your full dick but not balls but here at dick botics we are here to
help um we can attach a robot dick to your mom's pubis and to your balls.
Fully functioning.
I just want to talk you through the sizes we've got available.
We've got the petite, just for, you know, the realist.
We've got the average, which according to most men in the UK is six and a half, question marks.
Or we've got the destroyer it's up to you
really not a big difference in price range but the destroyer does have sat nav well can i ask um
mr nightingale um yeah is there an option to have them uh interchangeable depending on the size of
the fanny i'm dealing with. Wow.
Wasn't expecting that terminology here.
Even though I work for a robot dick company,
I found that a little bit crass.
Yes, there is, like on a DSLR camera,
there's a mount for different lenses.
We do that as well.
So you can have petite, you can have the average,
or the destroyer.
Just click, you know,
click them on.
Or... You could have one for vaginas
and one for buttholes as well.
What?
You want it slightly smaller
for the arsehole, don't you?
Because it hurts sometimes
when you bum them.
Oh, yeah.
Petite.
Get the petite on.
Yeah.
Get the Dan Nightingale.
Four, four and a half inches.
Okay.
That banter just ended up making me feel sad.
Oh.
Mike Follows
says
would you rather have £10 million
but lockdown lasts another 10 years
or £500,000 and it ends tomorrow?
£500,000 and it ends tomorrow?
Yeah.
It's too long, isn't it?
There's only so much stuff I can buy from Amazon.
10 years is where Mike went wrong.
Can I just say, Mike follows loads of really good suggestions.
We have a ton of things coming into us.
If you have an idea for anything you'd like me and Adam to talk about,
have a word pod at gmail.com.
There's about 12 listeners who are essentially producers of this show.
They're coming up with all sorts of content, and Mike's one of them.
I think right now,
if it was longer than a month now,
if it was longer than two months... I think a year is the...
No.
No.
So if the option is 500 grand and it ends tomorrow,
or 10 million and it lasts a year,
I'm still taking the 500 grand.
Right.
It's a lot, isn't right here i'm gonna a little
mike apologies but i'm tweaking right 10 million pounds but lockdown lasts a year
or 50 000 pounds and it ends tomorrow 50 000 and it ends tomorrow just adam 50 000 pounds not to be sniffed at it's not to
be sniffed at but 10 million you just have to do another year 10 million i don't want to do another
year i know you don't want to but 10 fucking million that's like that's a lot of
million actually no yeah 10 million go on why what changed your mind then because i'd do a
fucking dave chappelle i'd get a fucking boss house and i'd build a gig in my back garden
you can do that with 10 million uh ps you want to see the fucking adverts we have on Facebook
for this podcast with 10 million quid in the back?
That's the only way you get fucking views for your videos on Facebook.
Our studio would look fucking phenomenal,
and that would be lockdown accessible.
You would be in my fucking studio.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
That was stupid.
10 million.
I just want lockdown over so much that i was
blindsided for a second i was like no doesn't matter i want it over tomorrow but with 10 million
you can do so much and make lockdown work for you oh my god for 10 million my big thing is if i want
a load of money child care but you couldn't do anything about it in the shutdown. You could. I could buy my sister-in-law for a year.
I'd be like, Becca, bring your child, bring you.
We need help.
We'll fucking heat stamp them as they walk in.
Get the nostril test going.
You're COVID free.
Come here.
How much do you get for a year?
Is 80 grand?
Just help me look after this fucking three-year-old.
And I might even get a robot dick in shutdown.
Honestly, is it an option?
Are we there yet with the technology?
10 million quid's got to be...
I'm getting the destroyer.
That's a good one, Mike.
He's quite money-oriented.
See, I'm now at that stage, you know,
like when you have a dream that you win the lottery
and you wake up and you're pissed off that it isn't real.
That's now happening to me in real life
because now I'm fucking annoyed that I haven't got 10 million quid
to build a fucking comedy club in the garden.
I'm the same.
I feel sad that I haven't got a robot dick.
For just 10 million pounds you can help adam and dan survive thanks for signing up to the paypal.com slash adam wrote comedy
we're so we're starting to crowdfund no and ask for me paypal because he said he enjoyed me special so much he wanted to send
me 50 quid and I was like
do us a favour lad subscribe to me
podcast become a Patreon
if you want
but I don't want 50 quid for me special it's far too
much and just come and see
me live when it's over that's nice that isn't it
that is tremendous
tremendous
at what value now we're doing the money at what price would you
have had to go fucking hell let's stick on it all right tell you what give half of that to the
trussell trust i'm not sure who they are either but they sound very worthy and stick up if he'd
have gone i want to give you a thousand pounds I'm doing fine
I'm doing well in life
and that special
has made me laugh more
than any comedy special
I've seen for years
I'm just going to
give you a grand
because I want to support
an up and coming talent
speaking
of a fucking grand mate
you'd take a grand for that
I would yeah
yeah thanks
because if someone's
got a grand
then they don't need it.
Freddie Quinn messaged me earlier.
He messaged the WhatsApp group that I'm in.
And he's big into horse racing, Freddie.
Now, I know that it's morally abhorrent,
horse racing and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Anyway, he put in the WhatsApp group,
a few people that he follows, tipsters,
are all raving about this horse that's racing at the 225
at the Royal Ascot called Golden Pal.
It's 14 to 1 to win.
Right.
And it's got a really good chance.
So I messaged him.
I went, lad, I don't want to set up an account
because I'll just end up betting on loads of shit.
But if I send you 100 quid,
will you put 50 quid each way
on that for me? And he said, yeah.
And he did. And it led
every second
of the race and then lost
by a fucking pube right
at the end. Right?
But it still came second. Now,
if it had won, I was on for 940
quid. And I was was like i'm just gonna spend
that on a camera brand new fucking camera get it in the thing it's all free money essentially
it comes second so i essentially won 175 quid but i owed freddie 100 of it because he'd put
the bet on for me and i hadn't sent him the money yet. So, Freddy just asked me for me, because I was like, 75 quid, lads.
Send us it, whatever.
And he was like, just send me an address.
I'm going to send you a 75 quid surprise.
That's going to be cool, innit?
Mate, he's free money, innit?
Yeah, it is free money, I suppose.
I wonder what the surprise
is going to be. 75 Kinder Eggs
or Smash from the Post
He sent
Freddie used to be friends with Sophie Hagen
Now if you don't know who she is
She's a comedian, activist
And fucking bellend
But he used to be friends with Sophie
And as a joke he once sent her
A box of dog shit in the post
And his agent thought It was like a fucking hate mail attack as a joke, he once sent in a box of dog shit in the post.
And his agent thought it was like a fucking hate mail attack.
What?
Why did he send a dog shit in the post?
Because he was drunk and thought it would be funny.
Who drunk posts?
Who?
I don't know.
You know, like,
with people like,
oh, don't drunk text,
and don't drunk eBay. I've never heard of anyone that hammer people like, oh, don't drunk text and don't drunk eBay.
I've never heard of anyone that hammered like,
oh, I'm going to get those stamps.
Dan, you fucking absolute bellend.
Yeah.
He didn't get his own dog shit
and box it up and post it.
There's a website
where you can post people dog shit.
Right.
They do it for you.
I get it now.
I'm an absolute bellend but i am pretty
confident that most of the people that heard that as you said it were like how the what did he put
it in where did he did he have to go out for a walk with a shovel at least half the people who
heard that were like i think most people are well aware that there are websites that you can send animal feces from, okay?
I'm sorry, I'm a ballant.
Dogshit.co.uk.
Don't use.com.
It'll be foreign dogshit.
And we want nothing to do with that.
Brexit means Brexit.
We use British dogshit to send to our Danish comedian friend.
Fucking ridiculous. Doosenders comedian friend. Fucking ridiculous.
Poopsenders.com.
Poop.
Poopsenders.com.
Poop senders.
Anonymously send a package of poop.
Anonymous.
Anonymous.
Anonymous.
Anonymous.
I love Anonymous.
How much?
what's the minimum?
oh you can send elephant shit oh fuck off
you can
I swear to god
I'm on the website right now
cow poo you can send
for either a quart
or a gallon
a quart is $ gallon. A quart is
$17.95.
A gallon is $27.
Elephant shit is $18.95
and a gallon
is $28. So it's a tenner more to go
from a quart to a gallon. There's gorilla shit,
a combo pack,
which is all three.
Oh yeah, that's nice. Like a taster selection, yeah?
Yeah.
How much is human?
There isn't an option.
The only three available are cow, elephant, and gorilla.
Right, well, that makes loads of sense.
Are you on drugs?
Are you on the dark web?
What is it?
I don't even know what the dark web is,
but it sounded right.
You don't believe me, do you?
Poovesenders.com.
I swear to God.
If someone's made money from that
and has bought a house off it
and is living in Poomansion,
it's a fucking disgrace.
Click the link.
Disgrace.
Disgusting.
Poosenders.com.
No.
It's not real.
If this comes up as real,
I'm so...
That is fucking... No. It's not real. If this comes up as real, I'm so...
That is fucking... I'm going to say it.
Disgusting!
It's a real website.
No.
What's international...
Right, okay.
What are we going...
The combo...
You're going to send them stuff in um the post uh
oh i'm not can't look at that anymore there's a girl called sammy who as you know is sending me
and you some cakes she started their own bakery business and i just wants to give her a shout out
she's an avid fan of the podcast she's been to see us on tour. She's lovely.
Her Instagram is
BakedBySammyLou.
So it's B-A-K-E-D
B-Y-S-A-M-M-Y-L-O-U.
And yes,
she is sending me and Dan
some free cakes. We'll let you know
if they're tasty when we get them.
I'm just going to have a little bit of one because obviously still dieting
but Jade is a brownie whore
so she'll be a good reviewer for that
she's a brownie whore is she
she's a brownie whore yeah she's a brownie whore
okay
yeah that's it models got the window
for the brownie she doesn't care if they're vegan or not
because it's fucking too good isn't it kids
put the dead animals in the brownies
I'll fucking scram
a lot of them it sounds like a very specific search on porn hub that done it like a brit like
brownie whore she's gone down to the brownie meeting and they're talking about needlework
but she just wants a big needle and then there's a girl guides noshing off i think you're watching
too much porn if your brain immediately goes to that. Brownie whore.
No one else thought brownie whore.
Before the start
of this pod, there was beautiful synchronicity
and now I'm questioning poop senders.
Oh, the merch.
The merch. Ladies
and gentlemen, good worders.
We have had a little rejig on the merchandise website
have a word pod dot com so go on there have a look we've worked out a way of doing free postage
and packaging so from now on from here on in all the items available on the merch store are free
pmp go and have a look at have aordpod.com. We've got mugs,
we've got hoodies,
we've got t-shirts.
Go and have a look. We'd really appreciate it.
It would help support the pod.
And we will be running a competition
soon as well with the merch because
there's a colour
that is going to be exclusive to me and Dan.
Me and Dan are getting an orange hoodie each
with the full Have A Word branding,
but we've ordered one extra of those hoodies,
and we'll have a competition coming up next week
or the week after maybe
where we'll give you information on how to enter
and win the one of three hoodies
so you can be just like me and Dan.
Yeah, for now, go and have a look at the merch
that is available.
And order some, please,
because we've sold quite a lot so far, and we still 500 pounds in debt to it it's fine it's massively appreciated if you've
already ordered it was a pre-sale uh and the order is in with the people who supply the merch so
that's on its way as soon as it's here it will get sent out to you um, it's just, it means a lot
that people have already bought stuff.
Have a look, see what you think.
And one final thing from me on the merch thing
before I forget is that
when we changed the Patreon structures,
we told all our Patreon 10 pounders
that they were going to get a free signed poster.
That is still happening.
We will contact you about that shortly,
but we can't do that until me and Dan
are back in the same room together because there's
just too much postage and packaging involved
in sending it to me, sending it to him
it's a ball ache, that won't be too
long from now and you are getting your poster
we promise, it's on it's way
just a bit of patience please
it's basically shut down rules have just screwed
everything up a little bit but we're all
looking forward to be back on normal working
hours and getting posters out to people we have this launch of our youtube channel baby it's gonna be
fucking beautiful um we've had this in from kieran gibson and it's a little bit of a wordy one but
there's a lot to break down in this one i love kieran i love this email. And I think Adam's going to enjoy it as well. He says, hey, Angus and Di.
That is one of the more ridiculous ones we've had.
I'm a maths teacher in a local secondary school
and I've always been interested in the science
of how comedians develop their work.
I guess there's an element of enjoying
the algorithmic nature of some of it,
which appeals to the mathematical side of my brain.
Is this true for you, Adam? adam as i recall you previously spoke about your mathematical abilities in episodes gone by
and then he's put in brackets happy to hear from you too dan of course i'm like yeah that's clearly
just you being nice but that's there's more to this question but does that does that ring true
for you as a bit of a maths bot?
I know exactly what he means, and it's going to be hard to articulate it,
but I'll give it a go.
But I actively avoid it.
So what he's talking about is in mathematics and science in general,
there is a right and a wrong answer. There's a right way to do things and a wrong way to do things.
When you compare that with the arts, English, art
other stuff, that's
totally the opposite, that's why
in a maths exam
if you get the answer right, you get the marks
in English
there's no right answer, you just have to convince
the reader that you're explaining things
in a convincing way
and I know that's a bit clunky the way I've articulated that, but anyway.
So what I think he's getting at is with some joke writing,
it can really appear that you're going, I'll say A, then I'll say B,
and then that'll make C funny, which is essentially a mathematical formula.
But I, as often as possible,
try and avoid doing stuff like that
because I think you get too much in a rhythm
and audiences' subconscious brain
gets onto stuff like that rather
quickly, and I get bored
of it. So I try and make
myself as least
formulaic as possible,
but it's definitely evident, and
I definitely see it
in other comedians a lot where they've gone
like one of the
things that I do every
now and then but I hate when a comedian does four
or five times in a set
is when they'll go
blah blah blah blah blah
that's like
blah blah blah blah blah and they do something
that it's just similes,
but it's so formulaic.
Oh, Michael, it's also a very old, hacky way of,
like Lee Evans made a career of doing that stand-up,
of like, I saw someone doing something like this.
I mean, you wouldn't do that in this situation.
You're like, in the early 90s that was ripper
but things have changed yeah it's it's just fucking it's like people will go my mate puts
a condom on but he'll cut a hole in the end so that he can still feel it that's like going out
with an umbrella and not putting it up that sort of shit it's like well he's made the item redundant that's like
making an item redundant yeah it's a it's what he means though that's what he's getting at
but i think what he's talking about if you we had a question from colin pew along the similar lines
that just made me think of this question colin pew, what's your view on one-liner comedians
like Tim Vine or Gary Delaney and Stuart Francis?
I really enjoy, like, gags.
He says I love shit jokes,
but I like joke jokes.
And the question from Kieran made me think of Colin's question
because I think guys like tim vine gary
delaney stewart francis who write proper jokes with wordplay and structure are far more likely
to adhere to a sort of algorithmic style of writing because there's a bit more science in it
it's less it's a bit like an like a musician who is an incredibly technically gifted musician
but can only play what's on the paper, you know, like what's written out,
where there's a Jimi Hendrix who just fucking feels it.
I think this scientific approach to joke writing very much suits the one-liner guys.
It does, and I really, really, really love a one-liner comedian for five minutes.
Like, I'm not slagging them off because they've got a skill
that I absolutely haven't got.
Gary Delaney writes jokes to a level that blows my mind.
He's phenomenal, and I'm jealous of his ability.
I can't watch him for more than five minutes.
And it's not because the sixth, seventh, and eighth minute
is any worse than the first five.
I just get bored of formulaic stuff, personally.
And I understand that some people adore it.
Anthony Jeselnik is the one exception to this.
Anthony Jeselnik, I can watch an hour of,
and I don't know why,
but there's just something about the way he delivers it,
something about the way he does it.
But even Stuart Francis, I think he's brilliant,
but I just, with one line of jokes,
when it's feed line, punch line,
for the first five minutes, I really love it.
If Gary Delaney puts a clip on Facebook, I watch it.
I watch five minutes of it
but once that's done
I would never buy a ticket
to go and watch a one-liner comedian for an hour
personally
I mean yeah maybe one of the absolute best guys
but it's very telling that
when you say who are the best one-liner comedians
you mention like the five
that are really good and then you're like
and everyone else is not very good,
because there are a lot of bad open spot one-liner comics,
and one-liner comedy,
when it's done anything but brilliantly,
it's fucking cringey, isn't it?
When it's Gary Delaney or Stuart Francis
or even Julian Dean,
who is lesser known than these guys,
but I love watching Julian Dean.
And he's a great one-liner comedian.
He is someone else I can watch.
I can watch him for 20 minutes.
And I think it's because I very, very, very rarely see where Julian's going.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
With a lot of one-liner comedy, I go, right, I see what's coming here.
And it's brilliant, and I wouldn't have thought of it.
But now that you've given me the feel, I know where it's going.
Julian's jokes are so out of left field.
Yeah, Julian's fantastic.
He makes me laugh a fucking lot.
And he does a podcast called Two Vegan Idiots
with another comedian called Carl Donnelly.
And the podcast is not a vegan podcast.
It's not about being vegan.
They just both happen to be vegan vegan and me and Dan, we mentioned
this a few weeks ago, we were both
a guest together, we did
a Have A Word Two Vegan Idiots crossover
on their stream, so go and check
them out and listen to the episode we've done because it was funny
as fuck. They're both
amazing guys
I prefer Julian Dean
I can't quite sum it up but julian dean's jokes are the
kind of jokes comedians tell to each other yeah whereas tim vine is the kind of he writes the
kind of jokes that your like father-in-law tries to tell you at christmas and i my granddad used
to tell the same joke every single christmas and we'd all laugh because it was so funny
that he did it for fucking 20 years
in a fucking row.
Maybe that's where you get it from.
Why do crabs walk sideways?
Because they do like to be
beside the seaside.
Man.
That's beautiful
every fucking Christmas dinner
he'd whip that out as if
he'd never told it
and we're like grandad do you not remember
like you had the spoon
the exact distance from your face
at the same time last year
do you not realise is there no fucking
Deja Vu flashback here
for you where you're like, hang on,
what? Is this not exactly the same?
I've got a joke!
You've never heard this one, kid. Why do crabs
walk sideways?
I don't know, grandad!
Well, they do like to be
beside the sea.
Good on him. That's not even
a dad joke. That's a grandad joke.
Like, dad jokes are just shit.
Granddad jokes are like shit, but you really love them
and you know they're not going to be telling the joke for much longer.
It's a different...
Like, dad jokes are like, I could have 30 more fucking years of this.
Granddad jokes are like, I do like to be...
And you're like crying while he's telling it.
Maybe I'm only going to hear this twice more.
Oh, God.
I told you what happened
when I went to see my grandad
for one of the last times when he had dementia.
Go on.
So, my grandad had this
form of dementia where
essentially his brain
was 15 years ago.
Yeah, that happens a lot.
So, when I went in to see him with my dad, right, brain was 15 years ago. Yeah, that happens a lot. So
when I went in to see him
with my dad, right?
My dad doesn't look that much
different than he did 15 years ago.
Do you know what I mean?
So he recognised my dad straight
away, but I was 25
at the time. So in
I'm a 10 year old.
Right? Yeah. So I
walked in with me dad
and he goes, alright, Mick.
This is my mum's
dad, by the way. And my mum had already passed
at this time. So he goes, alright, Mick. And I walk in and he
goes, listen, lads, I haven't had my
dinner yet today, you know. I'm just getting on here. Like, I'm really
hungry. And I went, what?
And he went, aren't you the kid that works here?
And my dad went, no, Vinnie. Sorry sorry mate this is this is Adam she's your grandson and he went is it and he looked me up and down and
went he's put some fucking weight on
when when old people get like a bit alzheimer a bit dementory they really stop giving a shit
about your feelings my nana mid-conversation just stuck a finger in my belly and went well
that's getting big
and uh it's a it's a trope in comedy about like,
oh, Nana and Grandad, they say racist things.
But my Nana was one of the most loving and accepting people ever.
She was such a busybody,
but she didn't have a malicious bone in her body.
She had no time for racism or any of that.
I mean, towards the end there was some some moments like when when me and my sister were there with my nephew and he was
only two or three and he was watching like cbb's and one of the shows on cbb's is called something
special and it's got like kids with learning difficulties on and special needs
and my Nana just turned to us and went oh there's there's a lot of mongos on television isn't there
and you're like yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but then towards the end she was in her home and she had
uh she was just losing it and she looked after my granddad who had proper dementia
she was just losing it a bit and she was getting pissed off.
And there was a guy that worked there called Malik at the old people's home.
And he seemed lovely, but she was just getting pissed off with life.
And he was a big character and she took against him.
And because she was nearly 92 and he was black, she made it about his skin color and it was really like sad to see
and i desperately thought i should have just let it ride because it's not like she's the mp for
fucking preston she's like 92 and he got it he was like that's fine she just gets a bit annoyed
but she was like he's he's because he's black and you, he's, he's, it's because he's black. And you're like, no, it's not,
none.
It's because you're old and pissed off.
She's like,
well,
it's disgusting.
He's a,
he's an idiot.
I was like,
right.
He's like,
he lived in Blackpool,
just about 10 minutes drive down from St.
Anne's.
St.
Anne's and Blackpool,
very,
very different.
They've got a crappy airport in between.
St.
Anne's see themselves as much better than Blackpool.
She was like,
well,
he's from Blackpool.
It's full of them. I went, what do youpool. She was like, well, he's from Blackpool. It's full of them.
I went, what do you mean?
She was like,
it's full of blacks.
I was like, no, no.
It's just objectively speaking,
it's definitely not.
I don't know if she got confused.
I don't, I don't,
it's real,
Blackpool is white.
Like, it's like,
it's like,
it's pasty white.
You're fine, mate. they're not worried about ethnicity.
They're trying to find heroin about 40% of them.
I don't know if it was that she genuinely got to the point,
I think it was because he was black and he'd said he was living in Blackpool,
or if she was sort of in her state making the place name something that it wasn't,
like Blackpool or Black but so i fought it because
i was like nana this i wanted to go like nana this isn't you you're not this person so i was
like nana it's not it's not full of any it's really not it's blackpool i'm telling you i've
driven through it i know it so she was like it is full of them i went right do you want to go for a
drive she went right i'm going to prove to you
that it's not. I bet we don't see anyone that's not white. And I, this is a totally true story.
On a beautiful, sunny winter's day, I got my 92 year old Nana, stuck her in my car and we drove
from St. Anne's to Blackpool looking for black people. I'm not even joking.
for black people i'm not even joking and and i was it was the weirdest thing because as we drove there she was fuming with me by the way because i'd like i'd confronted her we got a bit short
with each other as much as we love each other to bits she's the best she was like pissed off with
me for not just going along with her and i was like i'm sick of this bullshit she drove i've never seen her 92 year
old it was like she was ready to jump out of the car we drove around blackpool in front of the
pleasure beach and i swear to god she nearly had her head out the window like a dog in the wind
she was dying to see someone we saw we just literally we saw it was winter in blackpool so
you saw about 15 people and and they were all white.
This sounds so weird.
I've never been so pleased to see all white people,
to just be like, Nana, what the fuck are you on about?
Then as we were driving out, she was really pissed off.
We drove around, and then we drove back towards St Anne's,
and I was waiting to say it, so I was like,
this is going to be so good.
I went, Nana, I didn't see any black people.
She just went, it's out of season.
And then we didn't... No!
It's out of season!
We didn't speak to each other for the rest of the drive back.
What she means is, as soon as the Pleasure Beach is open in April,
oh my God, the immigration will happen then.
They'll be coming off the boats to ride the Pepsi Max big one.
What a load of shit.
I thought she meant like It's out of season for
black people.
They're hibernating. It's winter.
It's got cold. They don't like cold.
They're like bears.
It's open season in Blackpool, but it's
not what you think.
It's not like, you know,
Canadian hunting season.
I thought black people were like fucking hedgehogs.
You just don't see them for the fucking winter months.
Honestly.
Look at him.
There he is.
Malik with his nuts.
It's October.
Oh, God.

Instead of doing it out of the way today?
Honestly, I think so.
I think it'd be great.
So for those who aren't on our Patreon page,
not a Patreon of the pod,
what we've been doing every now
and then on the Patreon episodes
is me and Dan go
through our old and new
notebooks and if we've got an idea
that we've had for a joke
we sort of just tell each other it
and some of it's
absolute dog shit, some of it might
be funny at some point but essentially
we just want to give you a window into where these 10, 15, 20 minute routines we end up with, they can come from a
stupid fucking nugget or something that seems so offensive or really bad and a shit thing to say
in the first place. And what we're sort of looking to do is we're going to just fire a few things at
each other. Some of them will be laughing going, this is an old bit and it never worked and blah, blah, blah.
Some of it will be stuff we've come up with this week.
I've got a couple of things I've run by Dan.
And you might think that's never going to be funny.
But then maybe in a year you'll come and see me or Dan on tour or come to a Have A Word live show.
And you'll see what these routines end up becoming.
You'll be like, I fucking remember him doing that on the podcast for the first time.
This is our little right club.
And there's only two rules of right club.
The first rule is
you don't make a hot joke about right club.
And the second rule is
you do make a hot joke about right club.
The second rule is
just keep your fucking ideas to yourself.
If we're back at a shutdown in two months
and I'm doing a bit like,
if Adam's got a bit like remember one
time with my nana she was talking about uh blackpool and black people that live in blackpool
and i remember saying to my nana i was like the fuck do you get that i pulled out a notebook at
random from didn't even know when it was from and it is from exactly 10 years ago
i'm gonna go old school you go new school i'm eight days away from my 10 year comedy
anniversary as well happy birthday to you what will you do to celebrate fuck all
what have you got um 5th of october 2010 um i actually wrote out all my uh working material and honestly now
what how the fuck was i making a decent living from this i've actually i'm such a bellend i
i quite i keep quite detailed notes and i called I've called this bit working material.
Working material.
This is material that works.
It's C plus to B minus minimum.
It's much funnier when you just find the new bits.
The new ideas. where are they oh go on you
do one of your new bits and i'll find my uh i'll find my stupid didn't work out so i know i'm gonna
sort of by the time we're gigging again i reckon i will have lost two stone since my last gig
so i want to sort of mention that and what i've noticed is i get pissed off when strangers
don't know that i've lost weight like when you lose two stone everyone you haven't seen for a
while is like oh my god you've lost so much weight you look amazing and you get so used to people
doing that that when you meet a stranger
Or like after a gig if someone comes up to you and they don't say that to you
I sort of get pissed off like are you not gonna reference?
How good I look but to them I'm still fat
So then they're just like it looks like you could do it losing the stone or so
But they don't realize how bad shit was
He looks like he could do it losing a stone or so,
but they don't realise how bad shit was six weeks ago.
Do you know what I mean?
I like it.
It's fucking funny.
How thin do you want to get?
That's the thing.
When you lose weight, once you've achieved anything,
you're like, no, but I can do more.
I want to get down to 13 stone in the end.
I'm currently 15 stone too.
At the risk of repeating myself,
what Deliso Shiponda said to me when he saw me after I'd lost three and a half stone
was like, wow, if you were African,
we'd just assume you had AIDS.
And he can say that because he's African.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Can we just say we've got an anonymous question for Mr. Ditingale.
Don't know what he's on about.
If you could grow your hair back at the expense of Adam never losing weight
and remaining at a voluptuous and juicy size, would you do it?
Thanks, Anonymous.
I don't know.
Yeah.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm sorry, Adam.
You don't care about my weight more than you care about your own hair.
Genuine thing I've written,
because I'm piling weight back on.
I'm real.
I went...
I've been wearing shorts so much,
and I wear, like, you you know cycling shorts, like running shorts
underneath my running shorts
because I've just got in the habit of doing that
from when I was running, so you never
ever feel chub rub because
you have lycra underneath your shorts
I wore jeans the other
day or forgot to wear
the cycling shorts
and I felt
my thighs just
chubbing next to each other
that's the level it's getting to
like it's coming back
seriously it's coming back
and I'm starting to think
my wife wants it this way
I think she wants me fat
I think I'm funnier when I'm fat
I think I'm better at stand up when I'm unhealthy
I think my material's funny and I think she knows it and when I'm fat. I think I'm better at stand-up when I'm unhealthy. I think my material's funny.
And I think she knows it.
And me being slightly chubbier is directly related to the income coming into this house.
I feel like I'm living with a feeder.
She's like, it's all right, darling.
You're okay.
No, I don't want to have sex with you.
Have another cherry bake while you're a big fat fuck.
I think she knows it.
So as you're writing material about losing weight,
I'm going to start rewriting stuff about putting weight on. How's that?
Okay. Maybe we could swap stuff.
If you've got any skinny jokes,
I'll give you my fat stuff.
You can have all the stuff that's on me special. I'm not doing it anymore.
Jade told me I've got to
lose weight because she's worried that I'm too fat
to sleep.
This is not even a routine this is true
I was like this one's going to be a mathematical
algorithmic joke
maybe it will end up being a bit
but genuinely
she was worried I was developing sleep apnea
because occasionally
when I was asleep
my fat would be clogging my neck up because I'd like
sleep. I'd have like my arm
under my pillow.
Like this, right?
And I'd sleep like that and it would push
like me fat from me tits up
into my neck. And she said occasionally she'd
just be watching me. And for like a minute
I'd just stop breathing or she
wouldn't notice me take a breath
and she said it's got better since i've started losing weight so i need to lose more so i can
breathe when i'm asleep little skinny adam like
morning darling instead of like adam drowning in his own fucking tits
how did he die he suffocated in his own moobs
oh it's disgusting fat men sleeping oh man if you need a mask to be like oh you big fat fuck
your neck's drowning you oh do you know my dad snored so badly this is fucking brilliant because
he's a big fat man as well. My dad is so committed to
being fat, it's unbelievable. He's done Slimming World successfully several times, but in the end
he's like, I just like bread and butter. He can't, he's like, I just struggle to eat anything that
doesn't have butter on. I'm like, you, honestly, fuck me, that can't happen. And we were like,
why don't you, I just drink a lot of wine and beer i was like dad
why don't you drink some water just to break that up a bit he was like i just can't quaff it i just
can't quaff it if it's wine and beer it goes down no problem but water i can't quaff it i'm like me
and my sister have been taking the piss out of that for four years i just can't quaff it why
don't you have bread without butter on i just can't quaff it. Why don't you have bread without butter on? I just can't quaff it. I just need butter on everything.
He is...
By the way, you've reminded me of something.
I've been doing this health kick
and I've been drinking a lot more water
and eating a lot better.
On the Patreon episode the other day,
I told you I was constipated.
I don't think I am constipated.
I think I'm just used to shitting six times a day.
My body is now on a regular schedule, so it's just like
once a day will do. I poo once a day
instead of six.
Mate, you're not constipated. You're just normal.
Oh, Adam. That is
unbelievable. Mate, I'm constipated. I've only shat
twice today. I'm worried.
Have you got more
control?
Like, maybe. I haven't really clocked it yeah but all right we'll just keep us informed i don't think that's gonna get anyone signed up to the patron is it well quickly
i'll give three five or ten pounds a month for adam's poo updates my uh dad actually went in for
an operation because his snoring was so bad.
And I've like,
we've been away together and ended up sharing rooms.
We went to the Italian Grand Prix once and we got a motel near Milan to watch the Grand Prix.
So into Formula One.
And it was one of the most stressful weekends of my fucking life.
Sharing a room.
It was like the wall shaking as he snored.
Like that when she's tired,
you know, someone's through a fucking typewriter into a bin wagon jesus christ so my stepmom made him get his
tonsils because apparently if you have really flappy tonsils that can that can affect your
snoring so people basically have the tonsils reduced to stop the snoring and one of the
side effects of that is
that you have a slightly higher pitch voice for two days.
If you want some natural comedy,
go round for tea at your big fat dad's house
a day after he's had tonsil operation.
Because when he answers the door, he goes,
Hello, you all right?
I mean, he's down, Daniel.
It's time for your dinner.
He didn't go asian though
they didn't say that much tonsil
hello son i'm so proud
oh christ
really really really offensive awful joke
no see you later thanks for listening
everyone listening
went yeah
boy
give me that joke
boy
based on a true
story as well
oh gee
gee
this is so bad
and I don't know
whether I'll ever
I don't know
whether I
I'm quite dark
on stage
but I think
this is too far
for me
so
I had
sex with a pregnant woman once
right
and the baby in her wasn't
mine
certainly not before we
started am I right
and people
say it's weird that I'd fuck a pregnant woman
when the baby's not mine.
And I'm like, why?
And this is based on a real conversation.
They're like, well, what if you come and some of it goes on the baby?
Right?
I was like, well, firstly, that's a horrible thought.
And it's weird that your brain went there.
And I don't condone coming on unborn babies.
I think you should be
at least born before someone comes on your face.
Like, at least, bare minimum, you should
be born.
But secondly, if I
was going to come on an
unborn baby,
I'd much rather it not be
my baby. I'd rather it be a baby
I never have to see again.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
What do you reckon?
When you get in the kid, Chris and Adam, straight away,
fucking straight away, straight to the church.
Here, Vicar. are, Vicar.
And we bless him in the name of Christ. Keep that going.
Keep the water... A little bit more.
Here's some Sanex.
First person
to put fucking shower gel
in the holy water.
No more
dick tears.
Awful, innit?
Adam Vincent Rowe.

thrown eggs at people on Halloween then flee the scene
Never thought about a rap dream Just wanted to make the footy team to see my pops fiend
Scored a winning goal to see that proud smile come out It's all I ever wanted, now he's gone but I can still hear him shout

Play all day long even when the street lights come on
Skip your chicken nuggets and waffles, dinner the game, it ain't done
Sitting on the bar lights by my house just kicking it
Another late game, this is the life and I'm living it
Snap back, slanting, then my do-rag on tight
Still Dre on the iPod and I'm bouncing tonight
Time for another win, go ahead and let's set it up
Hit your curb, skip school, tomorrow we ain't getting up
Couple more games, hold your own and don't bow out
Life is one big game and I'm just playing it out
In this Nintendo world, can't you see that I'm slaying it?
Think I wanna sit for this exam when I'm failing it?
That's a message to my teacher and I'm tired of keep saying it
These lessons you think I need to learn?
