in a steady show
our guest today

aka Scousebird Probs
aka Scousebird Blogs
if you don't know
who she is
she is a Liverpool blogger
influencer
a good mate of mine
and she was very excited
to come in and do an episode with us
so we got her along
and it was dead dead good fun
she's great
she's absolutely brilliant
are you not hot?
I'm worried about your general heat
I am very hot
but
you can
the
the gym shirt I've got on underneath this.
Not right.
It just, me tits are peruding.
Peruding?
Like, peruding, like they're.
Wow.
My ample bosom.
It's less ample these days since you've lost that weight.
It is, but in this shirt, I'll show you.
Are you going to get your tits out?
Oh, hang on.
Oh, hello. Ooh, it's, hang on. Oh, hello.
Ooh, it's a nice design.
Nike, chip.
You see what I mean?
It's just...
It's a little bit too titty.
Yeah.
I've done it now, so...
You feel better for it?
Do I feel better?
Yeah.
Oh, do you know, this is how...
Oh, my God. Are this is how... Oh my God.
Are we going to bang?
Okay.
You know, I am that mental that seeing someone
and I think they look hot makes me feel hot.
That's what was, you know, not sexy hot.
Why?
Temperature hot.
Because I'm warm.
It's a warm day today.
Warm day.
It's a warm day.
Also, I've lost two and a half stone,
and I'm feeling sexy.
George, really annoying.
Like, I've now got to the point with my weight loss
that I've lost two and a half stone,
like, a week ago,
and I haven't weighed myself for a week,
and I sort of forget that I've been dieting,
even though I'm still sort of dieting.
Yeah.
So, I'm not like, oh my God,
I'm not comparing myself to when i was two and a half
stone heavier anymore yeah so i'm now looking in the mirror again and just seeing a big fat twat
do you know what i mean i'm looking again now and i'm like no do you know what you have lost
two and a half stone but there is still work to be done well that's know, that's the start of bulimia, isn't it?
That could be.
I'm never throwing up my dinner.
No, but when do you want us to do a little warning? Just tell me at what weight, at what level of gaunt
you want me and producer Sensei Carl to step in and be like,
Adam, Twiggy, that's enough.
Have a fucking bag of chips.
What are you clocking in at now? What are you fighting at now? that's enough. Have a fucking bag of chips. Um,
what are you clocking in at now?
What are you fighting at now?
If I look
like,
if I look like my teeth are in danger.
Oh yeah.
You know when someone gets like so thin,
it looks like the teeth can't fit in the fucking head.
Yeah.
When the teeth are the fattest thing about them.
Then yeah, that's probably before that though, isn't it?
You never want to get to that stage.
No.
That's heroin, isn't it?
Is that heroin?
Oh no, heroin.
If you ever go on these days where we do the long day,
if you ever order a KFC and I whip a salad out.
That's it.
Yeah, that's going too far.
Like I brought a sandwich today.
That's okay.
Bring in a bit of pasta, maybe a curry I've made at home
so I know the exact calories in.
I can do that and go, I'm not having a KFC, it's bad for you.
But if I ever whip out, you know, a bag of fucking baby leaf
with a fucking chicken fillet.
Some things have gone wrong.
Yeah, that's not me.
That's like a skinny cry for help.
Yeah.
I might start spiking that salad with, like, you know,
I don't know what happened my face then
i got a twitch i think it was because i was about to talk about crisps i might like you know
like ready salted squares i love squares it's my favorite crisp just and you'll be like oh god
that was a crunchy bit of salad i'm not salty stupid oh yeah sauce i don't think i'm gonna
have a fucking bag of crisps and be like oh this lettuce is lovely
I lost weight
when I was clubbing
back in the day
and I went back
for Christmas
I hadn't been back
Seals
one of the leading
comedians in the UK
Adam Rowe
and my sister
you know
your family
just don't filter it
your head looks
too big for your body
and I
I think that was the bit
I started eating a bit more
I do have that problem if I ever got really thin
I would look like a Bratz doll
like
a World War 9
because this is all bone
do you know what I mean
this is all structure
like a fucking staffy
like a staff pup
you know before it's filled out
you know in Harry Potter
when there's that
three headed one
fluffy
I don't think that was a staff
that was a staff wasn't it
was it
stuff-esque
fluffy
yeah yeah fluffy yeah
fluffy was a three headed staff
google what breed was fluffy
it's definite that though innit
yeah it was definite
that's what your head
would look like
too much head
for your body.
Wouldn't it have been scarier, though, in Harry Potter?
Like, better, more intimidating,
if that was just three massive chihuahua heads.
You know, like the little bitey ones.
Those ones.
Staffs are quite gentle.
Like, they're seen as, like, this bullish dog.
Staff a chibolte, yeah.
Really?
Wouldn't it be scarier, though, if it was a chihuahua?
I accept your apology.
No. No, I don't think so would you rather fight a giant staff or a giant chihuahua a giant chihuahua
no chihuahuas are fucking bitey cunts mate yeah to be fair if they're massive like a jack dog
ate him at the minute jack russell's a nippy but if they're fucking 16 foot it's gonna be a big
nip in it my my dog's really weird with him you
know because he's just moved home he's never met my dog until like this last week we've only had
mini for like a year we got him about we got it about a week or two before you went away did you
get your dog to deal with the grief of losing your best mate to japan oh by the way if you've not
listened before our producer call sensei carl is just back from japan it's adam's bezo
it's this lived on a mountain the mic's too close to me so i couldn't do it i basically did
a pizza
a pizza hot a pizza hot yo sushi yo sushi and a pizza hot a salad a salad four kfc's and a salad
right um what did you get a dog because you missed your bezo i refuse to answer on the A salad, a salad. Four KFCs and a salad.
Did you get a dog because you missed your bezo?
I refuse to answer on the grounds I may incriminate myself.
You little sweetie.
And now you're picking up his poo now.
But he's come round to ours a few times since he got back.
And the first time he came, the dog was like, you are not coming in my fucking house.
Get out this house.
Get away from my fucking dad.
And then the second time he came round she was a bit like
not happy about this
especially because Jade was there the second time
and she's really protective of Jade
it's only a little fucking rat thing right
like yeah
go nowhere near my mum or me dad
and then the last time I took him
barked a little bit when he come in
and then started licking him
like kissing his hand
like no I'll let you be here
you're alright
you're with me dad
you're being dead sound.
And then he stood up, and he went to go and get his car keys
from the dining area table.
It's not a room.
We haven't got a dining room.
We've got a fucking table at the back of the living room.
Here is the dining area.
Slash kitchen.
You can lean over to it from the fucking couch.
Have I told you my dog's got her own bedroom? Yeah.
Under the stairs. Yeah. So
she thought he was going towards the bedroom
and fuck me, you'd have thought
he was trying to fucking bum me.
Wow.
Wow.
Just because you were heading towards the
store right in front of her dinner.
To be fair, you are a weirdly big cunt.
That's honestly...
I know we're meant to be like, oh, dogs.
But if you stood up too quickly on me, I'd be freaked out.
You look like you're not as tall as you definitely are.
You're one of them people when you stand up, you're like...
No, it's the other way around, you know.
He looks taller than he is.
He thought he was fucking six foot.
When you went to the toilet before, when Steph was here, you know, before the episode, he is. He thought he was fucking six foot. When you went to the toilet before,
when Steph was here,
you know,
before the episode,
he was saying,
oh, I'm 5'11",
so you might want to judge
the height of the camera for Steph
based on that.
Steph was like,
I'm 5'9",
she's taller than him.
Steph's 6'4".
He's 5'8",
and he's just been lying on his fucking...
He's one of them
that in my head,
I've not seen Carl for a while,
he's been in Japan,
you know,
Adam's been upset
started a podcast with me
just to get over the grief
but the other day
when you were studying
I was like
I nearly said
have you grown?
like
and in my head
I'm like no
the growth spares at 28
because he's 28
in my
I know you're
like I'm older than you guys
but you're not that way
hey tell you what lad
you've grown
you've thickened out
haven't you? I'm a bit wider than last time you're not that way. Hey, tell you what, lad. You've grown. You've thickened out, haven't you?
I'm a bit wider than last time we saw.
Probably.
You saw me.
Oh, hey, babe.
Honestly, we're all a bit software, aren't we?
Noodles, put weight on you.
We're all a bit software.
Is there fat Japanese people?
Genuinely, one of the biggest things I've noticed
since being home is how many fat people live in this country.
Sorry if you're fat and listening, but
genuinely in Japan... I'm fat and
listening, go on. It's
very rare.
They kill them. Yeah. Well, I've
noticed, like, in films and that, you never see
a fat Japanese fella unless he's wrestling.
It's true. Yeah, there is one exception
in there. You know that
national sport that they're quite big on?
But do they put that weight on for the Olympics?
Are they walking around for four years,
fucking ripped, and then it's Olympic time,
and they're like, guys.
By the way, it's never been an Olympic event.
Sumo wrestling?
Until this year.
Yes, it has.
You've had that conversation on the pod.
We've had it on the pod.
It's never been a...
Like, Japan competing for the sumo gold medal
is fucking ridiculous.
It's like the UK or basically the West Country
trying to get Morris dancing in the Olympics.
All right, lads, I think the British team's pretty good.
Quite diverse.
Two lads from Yeovil, one from Exeter.
A ding-a-ding-a-ding-a-ding.
It cost...
It was like a... You know when the Olympics is in somewhere like Japan, they're like, all right, you can have that. One from Exeter. A ding-a-ding-a-ding-a-ding. It cost... The only...
It was like a...
You know when the Olympics is in somewhere like Japan?
They're like, alright, you can have that.
You know.
Give yourself one nonce sport.
I've seen sumo wrestling in the Olympics before.
Basketball's in the Olympics.
That's just for the Americans, isn't it?
No, played all around the world.
Yeah, but...
Come on.
Basketball is Japan's second most popular sport.
And did they ever win the Olympics?
No.
The Americans, trouncy.
That's the same as sumo wrestling.
I bet you there's someone in fucking Nepal
who's sick of sumo wrestling.
But he's not winning gold, is he?
No.
No, it's just...
But it's not an Olympics.
It's more a professional sport.
I think you're getting a bit whipped up by the Olympics.
Sumo is like their Champions League, isn't it?
They are so big on it.
It's huge.
They don't have footy in the Olympics, do they?
Oh, snap.
They do.
You need to get over the Olympics.
Sumo is like a professional sport in Japan.
It's big time.
It's like, I'm not mental.
It's like boxing, isn't it?
Yeah.
Sumo to them is...
But you keep naming things that are in the Olympics
as examples of why it's not in the olympics adam we've taken listen we google this for us fucking
hell it's like it's literally about being on rogan in it jamie pull this shit we just soon
when was sumo inducted into the olympics last year for this year it wasn't in olympics last year yeah but it would have been inducted
as such a nonce
go on
Carl
what have you got
Carl's pulling up
the info now
but it is
away from the olympics
there's a big money
thing isn't it
see it says
no olympics
no pad olympics
which
yeah
you can't have
you can't have
pad olympics
in sumo wrestling
why Dan You can't have... You can't have Paralympian sumo wrestling. Why, Dan?
Wow.
Wow.
What?
That'd be a lot.
Wouldn't it?
Like a robot was. I nearly didn't say it
I thought there was a little pause
I thought there was a little pause
Oh my god
I tell you what
I don't know
This lad
This lad that's in Paralympic
Fucking
Sumo He's fucking cheating He's got a really heavy wheelchair God. I tell you what, I don't know. This lad that's in Paralympic fucking sumo,
he's fucking cheating.
He's got a really heavy wheelchair.
Fucking loved Robot Wars.
Like a Hummer.
Like a Hummer with just a disabled lad on the top of it.
Yeah, yeah, this is my wheelchair.
Was Robot Wars a thing in your era?
Fuck off.
What?
We were dealing...
Why are you talking at me like that?
I'm 39. You're looking at me like that? I'm 39.
You're looking at me like,
could you deal with robot wars?
You know, when the Spanish Armada was happening.
You've got to watch out for that.
Was it a thing?
Yes, mate!
My generation invented robot wars!
Okay.
Wooden.
Well, that's what I was about to say.
I built a robot.
I was begging me dad to try and let me go on it.
Do you know what I've done?
This is God's house.
I got a remote control car, put a cardboard box on it,
and shoved a steak knife through the front.
Oh, my God.
Robot Wars Liverpool.
She's driving around
the living room
like,
fucking pack that in.
You're going to cut
someone's ankle open.
Yeah.
Good at what?
What was your name?
Night Hawk.
Night Hawk. You made it sound like a fucking gladiator. Yeah. Nighthawk
You made it sound like a fucking gladiator
Yeah
Nighthawk
What was the special move?
Stabiram
I couldn't really
I had
You know me
My engineering skills were not at a level to be
Like spinning anything
Was the knife sellotaped on?
No it was stuck through the cardboard
So it was stuck in the cardboard
You know what I mean?
Yeah Like the handle was within the cardboard, so it was stuck in the cardboard, you know what I mean? Yeah.
Like, the handle was within the cardboard still.
I did have three knives on it eventually.
First draft was just one out the front,
and then my dad was like,
you fuck from the sides there, so...
Wow.
And they didn't accept...
Did you send it in?
Did you...
How did you apply for Robot Wars?
You used to have to ring them up.
Old school.
Ring them up and go,
Hello!
Robot Wars!
I actually did really want to go on it,
and then my grandad, who was an electrician,
was like, I'll build one with you,
and I think we got like 5% into doing it,
and then I got bored and never did it again.
And you chopped his foot off.
No, we didn't use the knife one with my grandad.
He was actually going to really build one.
He was into it
Like his grandson wanted to do something with him
He was made up
And then I got bored
But yeah
And it's sad that that didn't happen
Nighthawk
Nighthawk
I can't remember what we're talking about
Sumo
Paralympics
We're talking about sumo
Sumo wrestler
Genuine question
And I know
I know
I know what we're on about
And I know what we're talking about
Nope
What?
Nope
What?
I'm putting that thought back in my head
No you can't do that
No but genuinely
Say
Is the Paralympic
Boxing
Because boxing is an Olympic sport Always has been is the Paralympic boxing, because boxing is an Olympic sport, always has been,
is there Paralympic boxing?
I always got confused by the Paralympics,
because...
Why are you looking at me like I'm about to end my own career?
I know, because you gave me that exact look, exactly,
and that literally part of the reason I went,
nope, nothing, because a thought popped in my head. Is there Par that's literally part of the reason I went, nope, not the thing.
Because a thought popped in my head.
Is there Paralympic boxing?
There is Paralympic boxing.
So, you know,
are the disabilities scaled in the Paralympics?
I've never watched it.
Like, I just, I've never understood, like,
if you're like a sprinter,
if you're 100 metres,
is everyone in the final, like,
got the same disability?
There are, now,
I am talking out of fucking turn so someone will be
watching or listening going guys what are you on about
but I think it's like you know
you know when
you know
that's probably not the right analogy to use
you know when you're buying a second hand car
and there's like
and there's like
cat C
and cat D
I think that's how it works
I think it's a bit like that
like
so there's like
so there's like
we're playing like
fear for each other's career
tennis like
so there's like
disabled
proper disabled
and proper proper disabled
fucking hell lad
well done for being here
disabled get the gloves off him give him a fucking bronze for turning up proper disabled and proper, proper disabled. Fucking hell, lad. Well done for being a disabled.
Get the gloves off him.
Give him a fucking bronze
for turning up.
But like,
so like they have like
boxing for the
disabled boxing
for the proper disabled
boxing for the,
oh shit.
Listen,
a cat B
can't fight a cat D.
That is not,
even,
I don't know boxing
but I know
that you can't be like,
yeah, I was born with two
two toes missing and then someone's rolling in like i am looking forward to this boxing match
and this guy's there and he's a six foot four heavyweight he's like i don't bounce so good
on my right foot you know because the toes missing i'm just a cat, eh? And he's like, I'm a cat.
The thing is, though, you know the cat, eh?
What's the lowest rank of impairment
that means you can go in the Paralympics?
Because if you've got a little finger missing,
do you go in the Paralympics,
or is it just fucking tough luck, lad?
You're a boxer, you go in the proper one.
No, you're just a stupid kid
that stuck your finger somewhere, innit?
Exactly, but I'm wondering where the proper one. No, you're just a stupid kid that stuck your finger somewhere, innit? Exactly.
But I'm wondering where he would go.
Where?
Him?
Yeah, so if he's just got a minor thing,
if someone's like... No, no, there isn't an Olympics.
There isn't an Olympics for kids who are dickheads.
No, what I'm saying is,
you know, like,
who's here to make Tyson bite?
Evander Holyfield.
Right, did he go in the Paralympics next time?
Or was he still...
Could you imagine if a bandit...
Because your ears are for balancing,
and I imagine that's important.
Not the outer bit.
It says here there's 10 eligible impairments.
Yeah, but having a bit of your ear missing isn't one, is it?
Missing ears, not one.
You know, because you don't get a blue disabled badge
for having a bit of your ear missing.
I had a piercing go wrong.
Can I have a blue badge? I need to park right next to Tesco's. Do you have to have a blue disabled badge for having a bit of your ear missing i had a piercing go wrong can i have a blue badge i need to park right next to tesco's you have to have a blue badge is that like is it
the same sort of you have to be disabled you have to be blue badge go on tell us what they are well
there's physical vision or intellectual intellectual impairments so there's limb
deficiency i'm a paralympian i made it granddad i can't see properly and i'm a Paralympian! I made it, Grandad! I was telling you properly
and I'm a fucking dickhead!
Yeah, you can't like...
If you're colourblind,
you're not fine.
Am I colourblind?
Oh, right.
We'll get you in the Olympics
and you can fight a paraplegic.
Hero.
God, let's paint you
a fucking postbox.
What?
Go on, what's the categories?
Length difference.
Short stature
he's my height just looks like he should be smaller go on muscle tension problems
do you know when you read it all out it's just a list of really sad things in it you know i was having such a good
time and then as carl read out a list of all the struggles loads of people have around the world i
was like oh bless him well you're right there is classifications though yeah yeah it's not cat c
and cat d is it what it's not like prisons no because every time i say cat d do you think of
it is the same thing
as prisons though
innit
like you're not
going to put a murderer
in with someone
who fucking
he's fucking right
who like used
your contact list
when you weren't looking
yeah but you're
comparing sale people
to murderers there
aren't you so
yeah
but like
comparing them to
criminals of all kinds
but you know like
yeah
yeah
a guy who kills
and bums
ten people
I mean that's not a crime.
In my head, I was thinking of a really bad criminal.
On the charge of killing and bumming one person,
it's two separate counts.
Hey, killing's one thing, lad.
Don't fucking bum him afterwards.
Give him some dignity.
Depends whether you've done it to the same person, though, don't you?
Oh, yeah.
It'd be a fucking massive coincidence
if you got bummed and killed in the same day by
two different people.
That's a shit
Tuesday, isn't it?
It's a bad Saturday. Never mind
Tuesday.
But yeah,
he's not in with someone who's done like male fraud
or something.
Yeah.
Each sport's got
its own classification there's hundreds like there's yeah of course of course it's not one
broad stroke of like well you're okay because like you know like if you can't use your legs
but you're shit hot at canoeing are you even a paralympian if? You'd be boss of darts. Do you know what I mean?
Because canoeing, you sat down.
That made sense in my head.
Does it not make sense?
So because you sat down and your legs aren't really part of it,
you're saying you should be in there.
Well, canoeing, you're just literally like,
you're not even allowed to.
That's what the teachers say.
That's the last one.
Do you remember?
We used to go kayaking every like Thursday
have I told you about this
the McDonald's thing
go on
every Thursday
you've told me so many things
in seven months
so if you've heard this before
soz but
we used to go
as part of our Duke of Edinburgh
every week on like a Wednesday
or a Thursday
whenever it was
we'd go to the Albert Dock
and they have like a kayaking centre
and we'd go kayaking
and whatever
and at the time I worked in the mersey in the docks yeah not in the in the actual river
just in like the dock like yeah you're going past revolution and baby blue just having a little
fucking hen do falling in don't worry i'll canoe over to you
um and i i worked in the mcdonald's on the Dock Road at the time. Yeah.
And it was like the period where the Monopoly was on.
So what would happen is on a Saturday, right, I'd be in work,
and people would come in and be like,
I've won a free double cheeseburger, I've won a Big Mac,
I've won a Coke, I've won a fries.
And when you worked there, you were meant to put them in the bin,
little winning tickets.
I'd just fucking stash them all.
I'd wear pants that had pockets in.
Maccies uniform, they purposely don't let you have pockets
so you can't be robbing chicken nuggets in that for your break
are they worried about the actual nuggets
or about the monopoly
they're worried about everything
it's a completely pocketless uniform
but they are just black pants
so I'd just wear black pants that had a little sneaky pocket in
when monopoly was on
and I would take about fucking
a hundred things,
kayaking on the Wednesday, and then we'd leave,
and we'd be in the school bus, and the teacher knew what we were doing.
He'd pull up in the Mackey's car park, I'd stay in the van,
and just send all of these in, and he'd go in every week
and be like, can I have seven Big Macs, four fries and two Cokes?
And then me mate Rhys would be behind him, and he'd have more,
and Josh would have more.
And then we'd send one person and he'd get all the McFlurries,
like 18 McFlurries for all the kids.
And we'd just get a fucking massive big scran from Maccy's
for fuck all every week.
Fucking amazing.
Proper criminal conspiracy.
Duke of Edinburgh, wasn't it?
Yeah, Duke of Edinburgh.
Did you get any sort of special commendation on Duke of Edinburgh
for being a fucking
conniving little bastard
he's special
we got our award
we literally went to
Freshies Beach
yeah
and went kayaking
and then fucked it off
if you're not from the UK
when people go
I was doing the
Duke of Edinburgh
we're not talking about
Prince Philip
there's a weird
outdoor
noncy qualification badge that
people got sort of like outdoor activity extracurricular activity it's for all the
cool kids they really love it the cool kids love d of e it's basically when you go to sixth form
or if you're in america like is that college sixth form um it's like no it's non-academic
stuff that you can get an extra thing but you don't have to do it but you get to go on expenses at college, sixth form. It's like, it's non-academic stuff
that you can get an extra thing,
but you don't have to do it.
But you get to go on expenses paid trips
to, you know, climbing up mountains,
climbing up hills, whatever.
And one of the things we used to do
was go kayaking.
But we never actually finished the course.
We just went kayaking every week
for like six months.
We were only meant to do that
for like two weeks, weren't we?
Was it good?
Boss.
Every time we see
those lads
since we go
we should go kayaking
again all of us
just once
and it's one of the things
you talk about
but you never do
I went to a wedding
in the Lake District once
and I was really hungover
the next day
and everyone went out
and did some kayaking
on a hangover
and I watched them
and I'd watched them
for ages
and they were like
frolicking
and I just felt ill
and they were like
one of them came up and was like oh the water's so refreshing and I was like oh shit I should do
it I was like arguing myself and then I just I want to do it and then they all got out and stopped
and it's one of my big regrets that I should have done that should have got in the you've never been
should have been in Lake Coniston hung over the water hitting you I would not want to get in the
Albert Dock in Liverpool and do it.
Next to the fucking yellow submarine and like... You can get stuck upside down for a sec as well.
In fact, one of the lessons was purposefully doing it.
So you had to barrel roll your heads under the water
and you had to tap three times on the bottom of your boat.
Oh, no.
And then swing yourself and get back up.
Did you just say, what about sharks?
Well, what about...
You don't know that there can't be sharks there
There's not sharks in the Albert Dach
There are
Tuna fish
Big fucking Charlie Tuna
Roots manoeuvre
Can I just say
When people say
There are no sharks here
There are no sharks there
You don't know
No we don't know
But do you know why?
They can get there
All the roads are open
What are the roads
Rivers
Seas
There's no fucking
Border patrol
Is there
I'm not being a dick
One shot
One shot
Could get lost
And be like
Fucking hell
It's a bit chilly up here
Yeah
Well there was
A couple of weeks ago
You know like when
Lockdown happened
And all like the emissions
And everything
And it was changing
There was dolphins In the Mersey A couple of months ago i don't know if
you're being serious i am a hundred you're definitely being serious there was dolphins
in the river mersey so the start of lockdown you know when nature was healing and there was like
fucking sheep walking through wales and all that there was dolphins in the mersey
like sheep walking sheep haven't been seen in Wales
for tens of thousands
of years.
How do you know
that a shark,
if a dolphin's having
a fuck around
on the Mersey,
how is a shark
not just coming out
at a look?
It's not that it can't happen.
It's that you're hedging
your bets, aren't you?
Do you know what?
I'd go to Go Eap
and get me a forest
because I'm pretty sure there's not going to be a fucking brown bear there,
but it might happen.
So this is my thing with Delamere Forest and the brown bear.
I get the reasoning,
but that brown bear has had to hide away
in a container of some sort of trawler
or massive container ship,
come over from North America,
get out at a port like Liverpool or Portsmouth,
then get to Delamere Forest using what?
I don't know, hitchhiking?
I don't know how bears would do it, public transport.
A shark can just fucking swim
from where it was swimming to the Mersey,
and I'd be the dickhead.
We're going to do the upside-down kayak now, okay?
Dan Nightingale, are you ready?
Yes, sir! I'm ready to flip. They'd flip me over, and my fucking we're going to do the upside down kayak now. Okay, Dan Nightingale, you ready? Yes, sir.
I'm ready.
How do you know?
They'd flip me over and my fucking head's gone because the sharks bit it off.
How do you know that there's not a brown bear in Delamere Forest that's just been hibernating for fucking ages?
Right, yeah.
Okay, good.
Good point.
And dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs?
Could be a T-Rex.
Yeah.
But isn't.
Yeah.
But do you understand what I mean?
If you're scared of sharks
or underwater things
that's some serious shit
underwater things
fish
yeah
fucking sea monsters
jellyfish
I
I know we're sort of
doing a comedy podcast
and you're sort of all like
oh it's jokesy jokesy
there could be a shark
in the Albert Dock
there could be
I mean you're far
more likely
to get fucking
squatted by a woman
from Wrexham on a hen do, but...
I'm willing to take the risk that there isn't in order to have the fun of kayaking.
Yeah.
Like, there could also be.
When you get on a plane.
Snakes?
Yeah, that's where my head went.
There could be venomous snakes on the plane.
Snakes on the motherfucking plane?
There could be snakes on the plane.
There could be. There could be. Dead easily as well.. Snakes on the motherfucking plane? There could be snakes on the plane. There could be.
There could be.
Dead easily as well.
Spiders could be in the fucking fruit thing at Asda.
That's happened before, hasn't it?
Yeah.
Where they fucking roll on a banana, and they're like...
Here's my point.
There's people who check planes, and they're looking for what?
Terrorism, sweetie rappers, and snakes.
Oh, okay.
So they're looking around.
If they see a snake
They're going to be like
There's a fucking snake there
Better get that snake off
Cancel the flight
I don't know
Yeah
Spiders in the Tesco
Yeah
I can see
I'm reaching in
I can see
There have been spiders
I cannot see
Under the water
Anywhere
It's freaky
There have been venomous spiders
On the fruit in England
More times
Than there have been sharks
In the Albert Dach
What were you asked about sharks? I'm terrified of the water on the fruit in England more times than there have been sharks in the Albert Dock.
What have you asked about sharks?
I'm terrified of the water.
Yes, Carl.
Doesn't get a wash.
Why is he growing so much?
I'm terrified of water.
Open water you don't like?
Yeah, like the doctor.
You don't mind the bats?
No.
You'll go on a water slide?
Yeah, I don't.
I'm fine with water But I mean like
Deep water
Like the sea
Or like a big lake
Or Albert Dock
It scares me
The Albert Dock
Yeah I couldn't jump in
I did jump in
Because I was with the boys
But I couldn't do it now
You're not meant to jump in
You are meant to jump in
There's signs saying
Don't jump in
Yeah in
Not in this bit
This bit there's signs saying
Go ahead lad
Go
Get in there
It's just
It's a sign like that And it get in there it's a sign like
that and it says
go ahead lad
knock yourself
out but don't
knock yourself
out
knock yourself
out in brackets
figure of speech
we should do a
fears challenge
you know we were
talking about the
100 episodes
coming up to 100
episodes
we should do a
fear challenge
I'm not going to
Alton Towers
oh my god I'd
love you to
it'll be horrible I'd love you to It'll be horrible
I'd love to see you do a little bit of wee on the teacups
I can do the teacups
It's the fucking wazzy ones I don't like
Do you think
You know we talked about swimming with dolphins and everything
Do you think for a podcast
They'd let a 39 year old bellend swim with sharks
Where would we do that
Mozambique
Sea Life Centre?
I don't think you can just get in the pool
at Sea Whale, the Cheshire Oaks.
Do it in the dark.
What are you scared of, like, locally?
What do you mean?
Out of the water?
Yeah.
You just mean general fears?
Yeah.
Oh.
I'm not going on Nemesis in the Albuquerque.
Well, you mean what are your realistic fears?
Yeah, what could we do for your fear?
Heights do make me a bit jittery.
We went to Blackpool Tower a couple of years ago.
They've got a glass floor.
I can feel it in my bum hole.
Right, but we were with
My at the time
One and a half year old child
Can you see what I'm doing?
I've like
I've tied myself to the chair
I can't
Right
So you're at the top of the
Blackpool Tower
Fucking not
And there is a glass floor
And you can see all the way down
And I was like
Oh
And Laura's like
Are you feeling that weirded out?
I'm like yeah
Because there was only about Half a dozen of us It's quite a big space put etta on the floor
and she just walked out onto the onto the glass floor and she was looking at us like yay we're
in a room and i was looking at the most important thing in my existence ever through a floor that
she was on top of onto the whole of blackpool in the ground
i was like laura pick her the fuck up it was freaking me out and it was just her going etta
was like she was looking but she was so young she was like i don't know where the fuck i am
does that freak you out i i can't i feel sick oh god sometimes he loves rinsing me and i and i like
being rinsed i like rinsing each other
but i also love it when we make this connection of like yes mate i am it's horrible isn't it about
sort of you know you're not gonna fall through it's 10 15 years ago now me my cousins went to
like i can't remember where it was i don't know whether it was like new brighton or blackpool
so it was somewhere with like a fair thing might Might have been like we were camping in Wales or somewhere.
And there was like a haunted house, right?
But it was like not a children's one.
It was for sort of teens and adults.
So it was scarier than your average,
I've got a mask on.
It wasn't like that.
There was a few things that scared the shit out of me.
And one of the rooms you walked in,
and it was almost pitch black,
but the floor was like a TV screen,
and it looked just like wood or like plastic on your floor.
And then literally it played a video of it opening up.
And I jumped and held the floor i dropped and went and i i let out a noise that
is acceptable out of a banshee or a five-year-old girl who's being abducted like
i was like
what how old were you at the time?
Like early teens,
mid teens.
That's a good way to lose some kudos at school.
And it,
I was with my cousins luckily,
and they all just laughed and they bring it up every now and then.
Still,
still 15,
20 years later.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Do you know that instinct though?
It's to make sense,
doesn't it?
It makes sense because you, you're not meant to be that high up.
That's why people stick on those VR goggles
and then something happens
and the person who's leading the VR session
has to grab them because they're like,
you're in the fucking zone.
So your brain tells you, like, this isn't good.
Fucking terrifying.
But you knew you were in a room but it was high up
so it could have been a big ah right okay so like it was a haunted house that was like four stories
high it was tall as fuck it wasn't just two or three it was at least four might have been five
and it did this when you knew you'd been up like four flights of stairs so we were on the top floor
so if we're doing yeah that's freaking you out just
talking about it now tell me about asian people what about them i know you fear about them talk
me through them i just think you were meant to go hey you're not meant to start explaining i just
think they're up to something i don't know what what it is. I've got no proof yet.
No, all joking aside, that's not how he feels.
But about Russians, that's exactly how I feel.
You feel like Russia's up to something?
Fucking horrible.
And I can say it because they're white.
What you said, risky. How would you react if, you know, like we've got a Patreon page.
Why not plug it now?
If you love this podcast and you want an extra episode every single week,
you can go to patreon.com slash have a word pod.
You know,
we get an email saying
you have a new patron
and it shows that email.
What would you do
if it come up?
You have a new
five pound patron
v.putin
at gmail.com.
That'd be so Vlad,
wouldn't it?
Yeah.
For not going to the 10 pounds?
Yeah.
But he's got a bit of money
He's not going to the £10
He's a de facto fucking
He's probably lost more money
From the coronavirus
Than me and you
So fair enough
He's tightening his belt
Well he's tightening his belt
Yeah
Over the whole of the fucking
Crime here
He
Yeah
Not good
Not good
It'd be weird wouldn't it
Yeah
Trump
You're right
It would be weird Although he's ahead, I'm fucking up for that.
I'd love him to be a patron.
He better be a tenor, though. He's a billionaire, isn't he?
No, I'd rather Putin was a patron.
Would you?
Yeah, Trump's just going to be a daft old cunt doing nothing in November.
But he can't do anything.
He can barely speak.
Vladimir Putin could be gathering information for war.
Mate, who do we want onside long term?
Vladimir Putin has just changed the constitution of russia
so he can now be in power for another 10 years he's so in power this is a democracy you've got
an elector president and a prime minister and there was a rule within the constitution that
said you can only do it for two terms so he fake stepped down put medvedev as the president
and went mate you're
the president are you fuck you do what i'm told became the prime minister for four years and now
got re-elected as president and now he's changed the rule he's going to be the president of russia
forever they're they're they're fucking drugs cheats sochi they are spies they're poisoning
people they're scary as fuck i want him as a patron, I want him on side I don't think any of that's true
And I really like Putin
I like Russia
And if you message me
I'll give you Dan's address
He knows my address
Vladimir Putin is 100 times
Wealthier than Donald Trump
Is he really?
200 billion Putin's got
What?
Russia always act like they've got more than they have Trump. Is he really? 200 billion Putin's got. Yeah, but... What?
Russia always act like they've got more than they have. Oh no. Am I reading that wrong?
20 billion, sorry. Yeah, thanks.
Fucking hell, I thought Jeff Bezos just took a
kick in from Putin. No, we don't
have Amazon in Russia.
We have fucking Russian shop.
This is name. You buy from
here or I break your hand.
Don't go on internet
you don't know internet
you have putin.com
only website you need
chat about me
and that is all
would you rather
porn
putin.com
me topless on horse
you've got in trouble
you've done something bad
you've
I don't know
you've hit a cyclist
ok
yeah
but a cyclist works for
MI5 or MI6.
Do you know the difference to them?
One is Homeland and one is Outward.
I honestly don't know the difference, but everyone...
It's the difference between the CIA and the FBI, isn't it?
Right, right.
FBI can only operate in America.
CIA can only operate outside of America.
Serious question.
Is there an MI4?
Yeah. Is there? MI4? Yeah.
Is there?
Do we know what?
They're just like stationary for the government.
They don't have like a...
MI3?
Yeah.
There's MI1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
Is there?
Yes.
MI1 is like Boris Johnson's AIDS.
Boris Johnson's AIDS?
Yeah.
Alright, cool. Boris Johnson's got? Yeah. All right, cool.
Boris Johnson's got AIDS.
I don't know if it'd be silly, but I just genuinely don't know.
Go on.
So you've hit a cyclist.
Yeah.
He's a spy.
For MI46.
Six.
For what?
For five.
One of the two proper ones.
And you're in trouble.
Yeah.
And you go to a guy that I hook you up with,
because you come to me and you're like,
I'm in trouble, I need some help.
What am I going to do?
The government's after me.
Pause the tape.
If I've run over a spy from one, two, three, five,
or fucking seven, and I'm in legal trouble,
I'm probably not coming to you, Adam.
Okay, but in this analogy, you are.
Do you think I'd wait for a podcast like,
got legal issues, might be going to prison,
but I wait until it's on the episode.
So who would you go to to because you can't go to
a lawyer they're in the
pocket you've got to
come to a confidant
you've got to come to
a friend
yeah you are my friend
so you ring me and you
go can you come meet me
we meet us in Delamere
Forest right
what with the bears
yeah right
right I'm wearing a
shark suit you're wearing
a dolphin suit
away from water
yeah right and you go
look I've killed a spy
didn't mean it
hit him in me Volvo,
I need to get out
of the country,
do you know anyone?
And I'm like, yeah,
I know a guy.
I put you in touch
with a guy,
and he's like, right,
I can get you
one of two passports,
you'll have to be
out of the country
within 24 hours,
otherwise then you'll
be tracked.
Do you want to go
to Russia or China?
Fucking hell.
They're your only
two options
where you're going.
Easy.
Who's your fucking...
Easy for you, tell us easy.
Hang on, Carl.
This is my would you rather.
He can...
Who's your connection that only knows people in Russia or China?
It's not that he only knows people in Russia or China.
Communist Kev from round the world.
What he's saying to you does a bit of communism work for the council
he can normally get
any passport
but he's looked at
your situation
and gone
Russia and China
they're the only two
places that won't
extradite you
alright
so you've got to go
to one of those
two places
go on Karl
what do you think
where would you go
Russia
you'd go Russia
there's a reason
Snowden went there
oh yeah
is there
well it's obviously
the safest place
because it's snowy
there as well
I went in and he
wanted his name to
match
didn't he go
where we going
Snowden
is that where your
head went
we've done a lot of
podcasts
well I'm called
Snowden
so I'm not going
anywhere sunny
I'm going
to the Arctic
I mean I'll say this.
They're both dodgy as fuck.
There's civil rights are through the floor.
To be gay, to be trans, horrific.
Yeah, but none of that affects you, does it?
What if I decide to be gay?
You don't know.
I don't know.
Looking at you with that top off, I'm curious.
It's basically cold in Russia, but I think I'd go...
The food's probably better in China, isn't it?
Yeah, no one's going out for Russian scram, I think.
That's my thinking.
If I got back tonight and went, Laura...
You're shaking your head.
Laura, can we get...
You defo prefer Chinese food to Russian.
You don't know what Chinese food Russian. You don't know what
Chinese food is.
You don't know what
Russian food is?
What did you just say?
Chinese food,
what you have down the road
is not what you eat in China.
Of course it is.
I'm sorry, what's it called?
It's not Chinese.
You walk through Beijing,
you can get salt and pepper
chicken on every corner.
Yeah.
And you can get chips
with curry sauce,
just like he likes it
at the Chinese Chippy.
Name one Russian food.
Falafel.
Falafel?
Falafel's not Russian.
No, it isn't.
What he did was, he couldn't think of anything,
and said the first word that his brain thought of that definitely wasn't Chinese.
What is Russian food?
Kal sensei.
Vodka.
Not food.
That is water.
This is what we drink.
It is your vodka.
I'm going China, man.
Yeah.
Because I can cook Chinese food as well, so there's a job.
What?
There's a job, so I can do noodles.
I can do rice.
Also, they've collected all your data already.
They'll be like, Adam, hello.
It was a bit far with the R there, wasn't it?
Like, it's okay, but you hit the R in Harrow.
Try again, but say Adam, hello.
All right, lad.
No, come on, you can do it.
He's a big living...
Adam, hello.
Adam, hello.
That's acceptable.
What you did was said Chinese people can't say their Ls.
I know, I know.
Adam, hello.
Welcome to China.
I have all your data.
It all stored on this machine. It's great. Welcome to China. I have all your data. It's all stored on this machine.
It's great.
This is why I've been collecting your data for you.
We've already been doing it.
This is fine.
We've been doing it.
This is good.
You're here now with all your Google preferences,
all your weird porn you're into.
Have some chips and curry sauce.
I imagine that's how it goes.
Everyone's down on China.
I'd go China.
You know why?
Because I fucking hate Russians.
Sneaky cunts.
I don't trust.
I'm not like,
although the women are quite fit.
I probably need to internalise
a lot of these thoughts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was a good would you rather.
I don't think there's ever been quite as much preamble on good would you rather I don't think
there's ever been
quite as much
preamble
on a would you rather
because that went
round the houses
set the scene
I even started
asking questions
while you were
setting up a
would you rather
and it was basically
would you rather
live in China
or Russia
but it was good
really good
China
you've just come back
from Japan Carl
why are you shaking
your head at me
because they're
different countries
I can't even explain
how different China
and Japan are
they both do soups
they both do noodles
yeah but they're
kind of the same
you know
they're kind of like
Chinese
Japanese
Malaysia
Chinese
Japanese
Malaysia
Philippines China and Japan must be more similar than England and Japan By the way, do you know what it is? Chinese, Japanese, Malaysia, Philippines.
China and Japan must be more similar than England and Japan.
Obviously.
Well, then that's what it means.
Stop being a fucking specific nonce.
Stop being an actual truth nonce.
Go on, Carl, what are you saying?
When you say the pronunciation, Japanese people Can't say R
And Korean people
Can't say L
So they say
Harley Potter
In Japan
I found that offensive
There's an R at the end of Potter
So isn't it
Harley Pottle?
No
Because it's not
It's
Do you want to go there?
They can't roll their R's
Oh god
Carl's been travelling
Yeah
Oh no
Carl's lived abroad
We've just been in Runcorn
have you ever been
to Japan
because actually
they don't say it that way
they say it this way
no
it's actually English
I've got an English language
degree
and the R at the end of Potter
is unvoiced
Potter
unvoiced
Potter
unvoiced
you're not saying R are you
Potter
Potter
Harry Potter
yeah you are if you're from Yeovil
Or near Exeter
Potter
Not many Yeovil people in Japan
I love Harry Potter
You're not saying R
Potter
Are you right
I know I am
Saying it A
And they can do that
Oh mate he's got a bit truth in him
Yeah he's dead annoying isn't he
He's right though
He's clever
Oh have you
It's in as well
Such a grammar prick
You know if you put the wrong
Your on a Facebook status Oh yeah I'm a linguist He's right, though. He's clever. Oh, have you... It's in as well. Such a grammar prick. You know, if you put the wrong your
on a Facebook status...
Oh, yeah.
I'm a linguist.
You're a Nazi.
Oh, I'm a linguist.
Carl, can I just say,
I don't enjoy hanging out with intelligent people.
It's annoying.

Right. Adam
Dan, oh by the way, you
have got way too many compliments on
your sultry voice. Have you seen it?
Yeah. Have you seen it?
That's annoying, isn't it?
Do you know what? It's just worse than mine.
No, it's not. He's like, oh yeah, I've just been
Sensei Carl.
You're right, I'm a linguist.
Sound like John Lynn.
Linguist. Linguist, yeah.
Linguistics. Someone who loves pasta.
Fucking hell.
Mate, get one of the It's linguini linguistics.
Get one of the air cons on him.
He's getting hot.
Trying to make my nation dull. My donation of battle rap cons on him. He's getting hot. Trying to make my nation dough.
My donation of battle rap is
pastas, papers. Time to pay your pasta
papers. You don't want to talk him up, but he does.
Adam, Dan, come on.
What have we got to do to get one of
these orange hoodies? I've seen Dan wearing
them on the videos, and I'm a bit envious.
Here's one, La. Nice one. It's from
Dan Pugh. Oh oh are you saying you
mean the orange hoodie i had on earlier which will be on me in the second part of this episode
will you go and get that and we'll do can we just can we we come up with a competition now
we can't do that we can't come up with a competition on the fly can we not no we need
to actually we need a good one do we need a good one we need it to be carl will you put your
linguistic mind you're an intelligent person we need a good competition. We need it to be... Carl, will you put your linguistic mind? You're an intelligent person. We need a good competition for the hoodie.
We're going to do a proper competition to win.
We only got three of those hoodies.
We got one for me, one for Dan,
and we got a spare one, which is an XL,
but if you put it in the wash,
it'll go down to a large if you put it on 60 degrees.
So...
And if you've got a 90 degrees,
you can wear it and be a little personable.
So we're going to do a competition to win that very soon.
We understand that everyone wants the orange one
because they're the ones me and Dan wear.
We're going to do a competition to give away the only one we've got.
And then if there's still a demand there,
we're going to look at doing a very, very limited run
of the orange hoodies in the next few months or whatever.
If you want a different coloured hoodie,
there's still
some available at have a word pod.com there's loads of merch there t-shirts as well all different
colors i had a message on instagram yesterday saying let me know when the hoodies go back on
sale there's still some left go to have a weird pod.com um we have got some questions left over
from the patreon episode we did just the other day make the patreon episodes the patreon
episodes have become a q a and for the last two we've had a bevy of questions it's almost like
if you become a patron you've got like a direct line like on a normal episode we've got thousands
of people listening on the patreon we've got 500 people listening and if you ask a question
but we got so carried away on the last two episodes
fuck me this week's was
I laughed a lot
the Patreon episodes are becoming
because we're also a bit naughty on them aren't we
we say the things we won't say on these
we talk about things that we can't
really talk about publicly
they're becoming a proper little insiders club
but it does mean that
it felt like we're all just like
off our fucking tits
the lemo man
all I'm saying is
I want to do some of these questions
because they're good
and we're not going to get through them all
we did one or two questions and then we got carried away
and we were having such fun
so
Chris Townsend oh face Jedi and we were having such fun. So,
Chris Townsend.
Oh,
Face Jedi.
Who is a Hall of Famer,
isn't he?
Yeah.
Does it feel like
the circuit has changed
as you were returning?
Have you noticed
many comedians
fall by the wayside
because of this?
Where is the industry at
at the moment?
This is another thing
I love about the people that are on Patreon. They're really tuned into like what's going on with comedy as well they're
comedy fans but i read that i was like that's a really tuned in question i think there's some
comedians who shouldn't come back and the list is it's a pen um i just think there's quite a few
who've had their day and we're struggling anyway and just
need to get a fucking job now yeah but they probably are the state of it is comedy is in a
massive flux which is frustrating because pubs are allowed to open my mate was at a pub with a
fucking quiz in the corner there was a bloke with a microphone talking over the pa to a people all
facing him in a pub give Give me a fucking break.
Open comedy clubs.
Maybe you don't have to open the Grand Theatre.
I'm doing a gig in Manchester on Sunday.
I don't know whether it's indoors or outdoors.
I just know it's at Bar...
Is it Bar 51 in the Northern Quarter?
Right.
Let me just double check this.
It'll be outdoors.
I don't think it is.
I think it's indoors.
Okay.
Is that something... Bar 21, downstairs. I think it's indoors. Okay. Is that something you want to say?
Bar 21, downstairs.
That can't be outdoors.
Downstairs at Bar 21, the northern quarter.
It's called the Comedy Vault.
It's this Sunday.
It's free entry at 8 o'clock.
Very, very limited seating available.
But if anyone's in Manchester and wants to see me do stand-up,
and a good friend of the pod, Rob Mulholland, is doing 10 as well.
This is going out on Monday, though, so...
Oh, yes, yes.
I did a gig yesterday.
How was that gig yesterday?
Downstairs.
Oh, I imagine it was okay.
You smashed it, I heard.
At least now we can't get the gig shut down.
Fucking hilarious.
That was so funny.
Yeah, I feel like there's going to be comedians
who've got a job and realised that their life
is more comfortable in lockdown.
There's going to be comedians who can't have had savings,
because even really successful comedians have struggled.
Because we struggle to...
Like, anyone who's a top-secret comic doesn't have an abundance of money.
You're sort of living month to month on your wages as a top comic still.
It's not like we've got thousands in the bank at all.
If I didn't have this podcast, I'd i'd have had to go to to get a
proper job yeah this podcast has stopped us delivering for fucking hermes exactly and there's
defo defo comedians who've now gone and worked in sainsbury's or a phone a call center phone center
a call center or something and they've realized that they've got a comfortable wage coming in
they're not worrying where the next gig's coming from.
And they might just go,
do you know what, I'll do a couple of gigs every now and then,
but I don't need it anymore.
And I tell you what,
the comedy circuit will be better for it.
I'm not telling anyone specifically
what to do with their lives or careers.
I would never do that.
If you feel the need to carry on just being a comedian
and just want to do comedy,
absolutely fine.
I'm having a go at no one personally.
There's a bit of dead wood. there's a bit of deadwood there's a bit of deadwood and also there are a lot more comedians than there are gigs we could do an experiment i could post on social media now and
go i need a comedian for 150 quid next week i for one gig i'll get 100 emails yeah which is
is insane that ratio is just bananas, isn't it?
And how many of them would you want to pay £150 to accommodate?
Probably none of them.
I'll have to go and find that guy myself.
The ones you want don't even reply to the social media posts.
One of the problems with the circuit is it's going to be fine.
Long-term, post-rona, vaccine, all of this.
It will be fine, the circuit.
But the amount of time until it's fine is in question.
We thought we were opening up.
We're not.
We think maybe we're opening up in a couple of weeks.
We might not.
So the people who have gone and got other jobs,
it's not like there is a set date of November 1st,
all your gigs come back, all your income's back,
all that audience just piles back into comedy venues.
The circuit is going to be up and running. it's going to be a slow process of a restrictions
easing the virus lessening the vaccine being found and then also customer confidence licensed
premises still having the license and still wanting to trade everything is going to happen
gradually and in that time if you've gone and got yourself a job
yeah do you go just gonna keep doing the job yeah i think a lot will i think a lot will certainly go
part-time comedy they'll keep their job and they'll be like oh comedy's just something i do on the
side yeah and i don't think that's a bad thing because you get like less comedians applying for
gigs i think there's a lot of stand-ups
who could do to have a part-time job
even before all this happened.
Because comedy is an amazing career to have.
It's an amazing job.
It's unbelievable to perform and get paid for it.
It's an absolute privilege.
But it's also, there's really hard parts of comedy,
especially when the work dries up
or if you haven't quite made it
to be a full-time professional
where you're earning, you need 500 quid a week as an adult.
Like, especially, and that's like before you take your petrol
and all that, I'm saying, most people can't live on, like,
less than a few hundred quid a week.
And there's got to be comedians who are really struggling to get by,
who are earning below the minimum wage just to get by
because it's their
dream to be a comedian and that's got to be so hard and i think there's quite a few could do
which is getting a part-time job and taking a bit of fucking pressure off themselves it like
being restricted and being under pressure constantly is an enemy of creativity you'll
become a better comedian if you've got time to create and become
the comic you want to be rather than the comic you need to be to pay the wages i see the reason in
there but but i mean i've had a mate who started stand up a little bit older turned professional
one of their big things was like even though it's going to be a huge cut in my income because he was
basically earning a full-time wage from stand-up and his and the work the job he had previously but he was so hammered on time and
he was he was gigging with guys like you and me who've like been podcasting two or three times a
week tuning in getting a following thinking about comedy messing around even though we ad lib all of
this there's still some gems that come out where you go that's a thought there for stand
up we're basically training that muscle for comedy and and then we're going home and mulling a bit
around and then fuck it i'll go out on a tuesday and wednesday night and try something out and
he's turning up to a gig tired he's got family yeah it's it's are we talking about Nottingham? Yeah. Yeah, so he had a full-time high-pressure job.
I'm talking about someone taking eight hours a week
working in a gym or a bar or a cafe
and just having enough to pay your rent coming.
Do you know, I think what might change after this,
just in terms of comedians working on the circuit,
there might be less of a stigma about having other like another job i've always fucking hated that
you know comedians who sneer i had i had fucking murder on social media a few years ago because
there was a forum set up to advertise gigs in and people were like oh you could only come in if
you're a full-time comedian and this is your only source of income because we want to make sure that the quality
of the comedians available in this group
is just people who are dead good.
And it's like, well, just having comedy as your income
is not the barometer of that.
The barometer should be what clubs are you playing?
Because there was a comic, a mate of ours,
who at the time was still a postman,
and they were like, he can't come in.
I was like, he's better than half the people in the fucking group.
He plays the big clubs more than half the people in the fucking group
and just because he wants to save to buy himself a fucking house
and he's happy to get up at six o'clock every morning
and do a fucking full postie round
before he then writes and then does gigs
and writes more jokes than half the people in this group
have written in the past five years.
You're telling him he can't apply for gigs
that you're telling yourself you can apply for.
Fucking bullshit.
I've always hated that sneering.
Oh, you've got a part-time job, you're not a proper comedian it's absolute nonsense because we don't say that once once you get to the point where you've written a sitcom
are we telling everyone lee mackie's not a professional comedian because he's a writer as
well yeah john bishop john bishop 85 grand a year from ici he wasn't a full-time comedian that's the
thing that people hear,
especially within comedy,
they hear the word professional,
and they go,
well, you're not a professional comic.
Professional comic doesn't mean
you earn your living from comedy.
It means you get paid comedy gigs.
That's a professional gig.
Can you hang on a bill
with other professional comics?
Yeah, you can do 18 jobs.
You can be a gigolo, a porn star, a DPD driver,
a fucking Radio 2 DJ.
If you get paid 200 quid on a Friday in Birmingham at the Glee,
you're a professional comedian.
People...
Fucking busy week that, though, innit?
Yeah, bit of a nightmare.
Bit of a...
Gigolo's a real motherfucker.
Replacing Ken Bruce and sucking...
Never mind.
But I just think
that's something
comedians have always
got a bit wrong
like they're like
oh you're not professional
because you've got
another job
that guy who had
a post round
went on
a year later
to get an
Edinburgh Festival
newcomer nomination
so
best newcomer nomination
got his own special
on the BBC
and has since
done mocked a week
yeah but he's a bit
of a nonce, isn't he?
Hi Chris, you alright? Chris Washington, ladies and gents.
Proper prick, owes me 80 quid.
I'm a posty nonce.
I'm gonna start
every time I mention it. Why does he owe you 80 quid?
From Gigolo.
Fucking refund, never turned up.
Never turned up. I just headbutted the mic stand.
Right, it's really
what we got, really angry for the last five minutes. I love headbutted the mic stand. Right, it's really... God, we got really...
Angry for the last five minutes.
I love it.
So comedy's fine.
Why do I keep saying it?
Comedy's fine.
And you're all fucking wrong about it.
It's fine.
He's doing gigs in the future and the past.

Steph Johnson aka
Scousebird
third word
it was Probs
ours was formerly
known as Probs
now Blogs
now Blogs
I'm just Steph though
just Steph
I'm just Steph
you know what I mean
people think of me
as this meme
but I'm just Steph
my mate was going
so who have you got on
on the next episode i was like
um she's called steph and she's got like a twitter and he was like you don't know who you're on about
do you like not really seems dead sound adam says she's brilliant it's great to be fair adam said
i'm starting a podcast with dan, and I was like... Who?
Who?
We were going to do a podcast together, weren't we? We were going to do like a Scouse podcast.
Yeah, and then lockdown happens, and you left me for Dan.
It was just, well, it got a bit awkward.
Yeah, but that'd be a great podcast.
Maybe we'll do it.
Maybe we'll do it when we get the second room in here.
We'll have the Scouse bed, Prob Studios.
Do you think I'm coming to Runkle?
Is this too far?
I mean
I had a panic attack
Coming over the bridge
Because my sat-nav on my car
Hasn't updated
So it wanted to take me
To the old bridge
And then it just
Has an absolute fit
When you try and take it
To the new bridge
But hang on
That new bridge has been open
For nearly three years
When's your road
From your
Like I've got a TomTom
But it's literally
1895 roads I mean Take the highway But I've got a tom-tom but it's it's literally 1895 roads
take the highway but i've got like a lexus and you know clearly there's no automatic updates or
anything so it's a built-in thing yeah yeah it's not a dash it's part of the oh no i mean i'm not
a peasant steph i've got a 10 year old volvo and it was like one of the earliest sat navs. Yeah. And every time I turn the car on this weird little fucking noncy sat nav comes out of
the dashboard and it's like, Oh, where do you want to go?
And I'm like, I don't trust, you know where you're fucking going.
Like put in the road.
I'll find it.
I'm like, you definitely won't.
I need a new one with track.
I need ways.
Who's like, dude, there's a person walking on the side of the road
in about 12 yards.
And you're like, how can you even know?
Oh, fuck, there they are.
Yeah.
Like the modern, like, sat-nav stuff on your phone.
Mine's happened on it.
It's amazing, isn't it?
There's a new road by mine.
We just call it the new road.
But it's been open for years.
And the sat-nav just doesn't acknowledge it.
It thinks I'm going through fields.
And then as soon as it gets to the other side.
Why don't you just use it? Like, even if I had a sat nav in my car which i don't like i'd still just use my phone on my little
rac clip on the dash because your phone's like get up to date info like i know when on google
maps you know where the traffic is and shit you know like to avoid that road on the way to a
this is a conversation he had with me just before shut down i went and got a new phone with unlimited download unlimited data got ways got a new setup
then the shutdown happened and i didn't drive the car for two fucking months
so if you're like well i've got a sat nav don't let him do the um petrol panic buying
when when the we thought there was rumors that the army were going to come and shut us shut us down
so i went to Costco
and filled up
because I thought
if I need to get
in a zombie apocalypse
and I need to have
mileage on this car
did you panic
by any food
no I didn't
you did
I didn't
I didn't
I swear to god
and bulk buying
is one of my favourite
things to do in the world
but I was like
no
I mean I couldn't
I bulk bought
two weeks worth of food like dry food i
was like if anything gets if they go we're shutting down for two weeks then i've got it and then a
couple of weeks ago we just took it and give it to a food bank like we don't need it now you can
have it i was fuming i couldn't find pasta anywhere i was like i'd live off pasta why are you doing
this we had to find it from like some like local news agents got a pasta dealer that you know what
that was sly really really good
techers for panic buying yeah instead of going to like colossal costco or morrison's where everyone
was trying to panic buy you know when it was going batshit about toilet paper like there is no toilet
paper i'm on my last roll yeah mate the estate around the back of ours has got one of them
mccall's is it mccall's like news agents which is like end of the line it's for like
really strong booze sweetie it's the weirdest combo in it it's like pretty much nothing else
convenience store chain but like a corner shop chain but it's like it's they're always small
they're always a little bit more expensive but basically they trade in depressing booze and
fag sales and sweetie sales for children. And Frey Bentos pies.
Yeah, just all the stuff that you're like,
I shouldn't, but I'm gonna.
Don't ever eat a pie.
Don't.
Mate, there is no more information.
I just don't like pies.
Where are you from?
Oh, you see, you're fucking,
that's off the train of thought.
It's gone now.
I feel like you're a bit wiggly, I mean.
Oh. That was anti-wool
oh you wools
yeah
white on white racism
are you
are you like a
unofficial wool
are you Sefton
I mean
yeah
at the moment
are you born and raised there
I mean
purple bin
I went to school
in McGull
yeah so you are
yeah
yeah
okay so it should be
wall bed probs
it's got an L postcode
I had an L postcode
and that's all that matters
so is Ormsgirth though
are they Scousers
mate if you're not from
if you're not from
Merseyside
I always had the
Scouse spirit
if you're not from
Liverpool
now you're like
what is going on
we are really getting
into some fucking like postcode shit.
97% of our listeners are from...
Were you telling me before not to tell us to get the sat-nav on her phone?
She's literally drove here and thought she was in the mazy.
Where's his head now?
Well, you see, I can't get the sat-nav on my phone
because I have a wireless charging pad next to my gear stick,
so the phone has to sit there
so I can't have it up there
otherwise I won't be on charge
but why
don't talk to Adam about this
he gets dead angry
oh no that's not
because you need a charger in your car
have you seen how
how fast the iPhones lose battery
and how much I'm on my phone
do you have no idea
while you're driving no
no
how much
if you if you make your if your thing is like social media because
he's always on it and i'm now because this podcast is like the twitter's kicking off i'm really
finding it it's addictive how much are you on your phone a day how much because you've got a
massive twitter massive instagram is that right yeah i mean how much is a lot have you got like screen time
report yeah and i don't it gives me anxiety because it's always bang out of order like
it's less now because i'm doing better with it yeah but like sometimes it's like sometimes it's
like six hours yeah mine's like that between six and nine hours between like yeah yeah mine's just
like that it's between six and fourteen and a half but that's only you know
how many hours do you spend a day in work but you're asking the wrong person though
this is my fucking big day nine to five we'll be in work for like eight hours won't be so you know
so you're only on your phone for an hour longer than a full day amazing so what like is there a point you're on your phone so much it's it's it's work isn't it
yeah essentially it's work is there a point where you're like right this app is for me like what
you know because my wife goes to work works quite hard comes back and really she's like
what she wants to do is be left alone so she can just go on instagram for she's like just i need 20 minutes to scroll through it i'm like you love two hours
what when do you actually go on your phone and just enjoy just fucking about or is it all do
you feel like i am working here yeah i don't i don't really use it like i suppose like a normal
person like i will just spend time just flicking through the three um apps the three main ones the
holy trinity yeah the Holy Trinity of social media.
Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
Oh, I thought TikTok might make it onto you.
I'm not young enough for TikTok.
TikTok's going, innit?
Yeah, the news.
Trump's banning it.
Yeah.
You're not American, though, so you'd be like...
Yeah, but I feel like Boris Johnson just does what he does six months later.
If Boris Johnson comes out and starts talking about TikTok...
We get government policy from America the same way we get films they see how it does in the box
office over there it's 2020 was it surprising if boris johnson came out and banned tiktok
no i don't think anything would surprise like all the conspiracy theorists think like bill gates is
like controlling the virus and that and like he wants to microchip everyone i think it's dead funny that like the government
are about to in america are about to ban tiktok unless microsoft buy it out and i know bill gates
doesn't work at microsoft anymore but that's a conspiracy theorist's wet dream isn't it bill
gates is in charge of running the world and now he's going to out buy this tiktok thing which is
feeding info to the chinese government i've still got people now messaging me saying that coronavirus was caused by 5g oh for the love of tits because i mentioned
on instagram yesterday about everything smelling like the doc rose because i had covid back in
march and someone actually messaged me and said yeah but you know it's all caused by 5g because
it was all installed at the same time and i was like the most annoying thing about those conspiracy
theorists they're like yeah but i'm dead clever because i'm not fucking
like following the mainstream it's 5g you're like you didn't come up with that theory you just
listened to another fuckwit stop like treating like oh yeah i'm dead do your research by which
i mean google exactly so you had the rona i did yeah no pasta then you got the rona what a fucking nightmare what are
you yeah no it was there i had a cough like the week before lockdown then hang on did you have it
or are you doing what everyone did we were like oh here we go me now i paid i sneezed in november
do you remember when i sneezed in november do you remember there's loads of people doing that
i did it i was like I was knackered in January
I was dead tired
I had the antibodies
so I genuinely
have had it
no but Steph
I'm not joking
there was a
honestly
there was one morning
I'd been drinking heavily
the night before
and I just felt terrible
I just couldn't get out of bed
and I was coughing a lot
because
I'd had weed the night before

it you can taste how bad it smells yeah the older you get like she wasn't bothered for two weeks and
then she got went back to saying mommy your breath stinks i've just had a memory oh god when i went
away with my dad we went to watch the italian grand prix about 10 years ago we stayed in a we
stayed in like a little motel went to the oh is it yeah got on the coach because it was like a coach
tour thing and all the f1 geeks all the formula one bell ends my dad it was first thing in the
morning because he was driving us to the track.
My dad would have been, what, at the time,
about 60-odd years old,
and it was one of them really closed-in little fucking minivans,
and he turned to say something to me.
Oh, my God.
Oh, he could have taken a layer of skin off my face.
The worst morning breath.
You know when you're like,'s not just doesn't smell bad it's like medically i think you need to see a fucking doctor
because there is an there is an evil inside your mouth mate and i was giving him chewing gum he's
like oh i'm not really a chewing gum man i was like dad you should be though just for the next
hour hour and a half when you're with with someone and they wake up in the morning
and after a bit of morning, hanky-panky,
and you're just like that.
Doggy! Doggy!
You could just role-play.
You could just role-play.
You're like, I'm a sex worker
and you're a John.
I want to kiss you.
No kissing.
Did you ever play the Comedy Cafe in London,
in Shoreditch?
No.
So Comedy Cafe is like a legendary London comedy club.
It's great.
The guy who ran it was a fellow called Noel Faulkner,
who, dead sound, fucking mental.
I'd like a little click as well, a little dolphin.
And the first time you meet them, you're like...
And he's got such a distinctive bad breath.
And I'm not trying to slag someone off.
But the other day, I seen him comment on a Facebook post
and I smelt his breath.
Mate, Facebook's really up in the game, aren't they?
They're losing ground to Twitter and Insta.
It's that a thing, though, isn't it?
Sometimes there's just distinctive smells
that just take you back to a time and a place.
Yeah.
Me trying to describe what his breath is like
is like when Paul Smith was in trying to tell us
what DMT was like.
It's like, it's a smell I've never smelled before.
I saw colours.
I've got no frame of reference for what it is.
There was a serpent that swam in and shat in my face.
It's really funny.
Something about old dudes, though, innit?
One of my big fears about getting old,
I'm already bored, I've already put a bit of weight on,
so I'm dealing with some of the initial things that happen.
You don't want to be the breath guy.
I do not want to be the breath dad,
who's like, I love you so much, children.
Like, it's nasty.
Don't smoke though, do you?
Smoking's bad for that.
And I go to the dentist.
Crack is fucking awful.
I'm cutting down on the crack.
But when in run cold.
Do me a favour, Dan, just don't start whistling.
Because that's like one of my fears.
Old men whistling, it goes through me.
Like, it gets in me back.
Like, I can feel it all down me back and everything.
It's a phobia.
A phobia?
Yeah.
Is it just old men?
Can I whistle now and it'll be fine?
Yeah, probably.
No, she didn't enjoy it.
It's slightly annoying,
but I used to work in the bank
and you'd get all the R1s queuing up
to go to the cashiers
and every old man that would come in
would just stand there whistling
and you'd be like,
shut up, shut up, shut up!
And that's how you get fired from the bank.
I mean, yeah.
Shut up! I I mean old people
are well annoying
in banks anyway
aren't they
like there's a
machine there
and you can put
the money in
I don't trust it
I want to stand
and talk to a human
and whistle
till she cries
B&Q
I bet that's
if you hate
old dudes whistling
my customer service
was so bad
in the bank
honest to god
because at one point
I just got sick of it
I used to have fantasies
about winning the lottery and coming in the next day and finding how long one point I just got sick of it I used to have fantasies about winning the lottery
and coming in
the next day
and finding how long
it'd take for me
to be escorted
off the premises
but
we talk about the lottery
chat all the time
hang on
is this the last job
you had before
you went fucking
yeah
social media
premier league
I wasn't born to be employed
right
so are you allowed
to say which bank
would you have to
keep it generic?
No, it was Barclays.
Right, Barclays.
So one of the big dogs.
How long did you work there before you left?
About six years.
And what age were you when you fucked it off?
26, 27.
Oh, you'd done a fucking shift then.
Yeah.
Right.
Like people will come in,
and like you were saying there,
like people want,
you'd say to them,
right, do you want to get out the queue queue and we'll pay your money into the machine
i wasn't friendly all right i mean so so they'd be like i'd say just fill in that
pain and slip and post in the machine they go oh i don't know how to do it and i was like okay
see what it says date yeah i'll go put the date see what it says your name yeah yeah
just write your name.
How do I know it's going to read me handwriting right?
My name's Adam, it could say Alan.
Put them out.
And I'll be like that going,
I don't know how to fucking explain it to you
without losing me rag, but yeah.
No, I just like to do exactly the same thing,
but at the counter and slow everyone down.
But yeah, you get the same people.
Like, I don't mind showing you once,
but when you're in every single week and every time,
you go, ooh, can you do it for me?
It's called self-service
you daft swat
Do you know what was great though?
I used to live, before I moved to Chester
we lived in St Anne's near Blackpool
which is wool by the sea
and I can sense
wigging
and she's not far off
It's going to eat away at you It was bang on I can sense Wigan and she's not far off I was just really surprised
it's going to eat away
at you
it was bang on
and basically
Preston
which is the same sort of
I was surprised about the pies
and you know
Wigan's like the pie capital
I know
but I'm from Preston
and they do like pies
I'm definitely an outsider
do they do butter pies
or something
it's partly why
I don't fucking live there anymore
I've been fucking
told to leave
but yeah
we lived in St. Anne's.
It's about, yeah,
get out your non-pay eating twat.
It's got a famous bus station or something, hasn't it?
It's got, when it was built,
the biggest bus station in Europe.
Right.
And it's got the first KFC in the UK.
And that is the end of the point of fame.
I mean, how depressing is that?
And Butterpie.
St. Anne's is basically like a little seaside town
with loads of old people, about 80% old people.
That NatWest was one of my favourite NatWest to use.
You'd go in, there was a queue of geriatrics
out the fucking door,
and you just got to wander to the computerised fucking...
You know the machine that does the paying?
And they'd look at you like, what is it?
I loved it i
don't want to queue at both i want all the old fuckers just in one queue and me go and i used
to look at them like look at you this this could be you but you can't fucking do it yes mate and
do you know what i get it like it's it's kind of like a day out for them and it's like a bit sad
isn't it but you know that's their only human interaction but at the time, when I was in my early 20s,
I just had no patience for it whatsoever.
Did you have any of them who you knew the life story
and you actually gave a shit?
Like you were invested in them?
No.
Okay, next question.
Hello again, Steph.
My daughter's doing better since the surgery.
Couldn't give a fuck.
There was one guy who used to come in and you know
what you're talking about like smells there was one guy and i won't name him like but he had
100 grand in his current account and oh my god did he stink and it was like mold like he had
when he left just washing in for like two hours after it had finished that's what it is isn't it
yeah it was like mould
and like soil
and stuff
and he would just
or dirt under his fingernails
and stuff
hundred grand
and he was horrible
like he was
really like a vile person
and I'd just sit there
thinking
yeah please
it's 20p for some soap
do you know what I mean
just get a wash
he's not buying soap
he's not buying deodorant
he's not paying for
the fucking water
and that's how he's got
a hundred grand in the bank he's got no friends he was on the deodorant he's not paying for the fucking water and that's how he's got 100 grand in the bank
he's got no friends
he was on the dole
and he was just
saving it all
I love that
being able to see
everyone's money
so you're basically
every time someone
came up
you're seeing the rat
the fucking smelly
horror in front of you
and then looking
at their bank balance
going
what the fuck
is going on here
money just loses all meaning in the bank because you can be loading up the atms with like hundreds of
thousands of pounds and you're just like my date my day most money you've ever held in your hand
cash it was probably a couple of hundreds when we're loading in a couple of hundred grand yeah
when we're loading the atm you're never tempted but to just rub it on your boobs a little bit like
yeah i want a great way to get sacked in the first sort of like six months you're like that going oh my god when you see like millions
of pounds in people's accounts you're a bit like hmm but after a while it's just like say it's just
numbers i don't think you work you work there for what six years so me and carl if either of us
worked in a bank for six years there's absolutely no way we wouldn't have spent at least an afternoon
with a pen and paper
trying to figure out
how to rob it.
It'd never cross your mind
once,
like,
how do I do?
How can I get something?
No.
That's fucking,
I don't believe you.
I'm a good person.
Every time I'm in the bank
and the tray's open,
I fucking imagine it.
I don't want to go to jail.
Yeah,
but you're robbing us.
You're robbing us.
You're robbing us.
You're robbing us though, aren't you? You're rob I don't want to go to jail but you're Robin Hood you're Robin Hood though aren't you
you're Robin from the bank
to give to the poor
no that doesn't work
if it's yourself
it does
no that's not
it does if you're poor
this is Robin Hood
no no no
it's like Robin Hood
someone's got money
and I haven't
and I want it
so I'm like Robin
that's basically saying
all theft
is Robin Hood like
just eat the rich
yeah there was this nana
who had like a fucking purse of money,
and I had just run out of money because I'd spent it on smack,
so I robbed her like Robin Hood.
No, no, no, no.
Did you give the money to anyone poor?
No, I'm fucking poor.
I kept it for smack.
Amazing logic.
You're poor.
Like, I wouldn't keep it.
Let's say me and him got a hundred grand each
I'd give my dad a bit
my ma
my little brother
fucking hell
and they'd all be
an accessory
to your crime then
yeah but you wouldn't
I wouldn't have told them
I'd be like
I want it on a scratch card
yeah
how would they
when they're like
Adam
can I pull you in
Adam and Carl
obviously here at
fucking Barclays Sefton
or wherever we are
we've got a pretty
strict policy on nicking
fucking money there is a 200 grand missing from when you were in work what would your excuse be
like oh shit that door was open for a bit over there no right everything's dual control so every
like you can't have like the same set of keys and stuff like that. Do you need two people? Yeah, yeah.
Laughing.
There you go, Carl.
There we go.
Yeah.
Go on, ask me.
Go on, ask me.
Ask me where it's gone.
Where?
Where?
Adam?
Adam, can you just stop
what you're doing for a second?
Could you stop what you're doing?
I'm gone.
I've got to put this fucking money in.
Adam, can you stop typing?
Because you're not actually typing.
You're just tapping the side
of your Apple Mac. Thanks. Thank in. Can you stop typing? Because you're not actually typing, you're just tapping the side of your Apple Mac.
Thanks, thank you.
Could you stop doing...
And I don't want to start this off in a negative way,
but I would hate to accuse you,
professionally, personally,
but there's 200 grand missing,
and you and Sensei Carl
were the only ones in the Barclays at the time.
Nah, Carnaby must have been someone else here
Oh, okay, well we'll close
our investigation and thanks so much for your time
There was a guy came in
and he had a hood and he was like
a Nottingham Forest fan
Didn't rob it, prove it
Well we've got security cameras
We wore gloves, you've got no fingerprints
Wore gloves to tap send
You won't, you, oh I wouldn't have robbed it digitally
That's a fucking nightmare
You want the cash
Right
Or security deposit boxes
Because no one knows what's in them
You've watched so many films haven't you
How are you getting anywhere near security deposit boxes
Keys
I've got all the keys
He's got all the keys
From where
Your job innit
Mr Keys
At Barclays I love how into this fucking fantasy Carl just got I've got the keys He's all the keys. He's got all the keys. From where? Your job, innit? Mr. Keys. At Barclays.
I love how into this fucking fantasy, Carl.
Just go, I've got the keys.
He's got the keys.
You've got to make sure you're on opposite sets of keys.
We wouldn't even have them.
Steph knows.
What we'd do is, I'd get him the job, but I'd tell him how to smash the interview and that.
It'd be the shittest film.
You'd be in prison in the 28th minute of the film.
The heist of the century.
It's an hour and a half long. Get him the go fuck that up get him the job but like not like
overtly so i tell him how to pass the interview and that and then on the first second day we just
have a massive rat like fucking ate you and he's like i hate you as well and then for months and
months two years we're just constantly like every time his name
gets brought on like i'm fucking ate him i ate him we do the same and then when it all gets robbed
and we're the only two on shift they'll be like what what kind of in them they ate each other
yeah by that reasoning there's a comedian i can think of i think we're robbing a bank together
quite soon because i'm done with that cunt um step Steph how would you have got sacked
imagining winning the lottery
and going in
and like your daydream was
if I won 20 million
I'd tell them all that they stink
would you just walk in and be like
fuck it
yeah I'd just tell them exactly what was on my mind
I'd be going
can I just cancel a direct debit please
yeah if you go in we get a wash first
I mean
I love that can you imagine if you were trying, we get a wash first. I mean...
I love that.
Can you imagine if you were trying to get sacked
and they were like, okay, I will.
And they just took the advice.
That's something we've never discussed.
So on this podcast, like a handful of times,
we've done the lottery fantasy.
Like you win 100 million, what are you doing, whatever.
That's something we've never discussed.
You've got a shit job that you don't want.
Would you just quietly leave or go out all guns blazing?
And I've had that fantasy about a million times,
just fucking bouncing in and being like,
just being a dickhead on that last day.
Yeah, it wouldn't have taken long for me to be escorted off the premises,
definitely, because, I mean, I was angry at that job.
I hated that job.
I'd have waited for the manager I didn't like
and I've got Ryan from Envy in my head
remember him
let's say I still work at Envy
and he comes in and speaks to me the way he normally does
I'd just love to just see his face
when he goes Adam go and mop that floor
and I go why don't you suck my fucking dick
and just watch him go
and then he starts trying to suck your dick
and then it goes
like the blinking and man gift
but you're not working
there anymore
you're fantasising
about winning the lottery
and then going back
in time
flying one last shit
flying to envy
hi envy
I'd like to
Adam you're doing great
your career's going really good
you've got a hit podcast
you don't need the work
yeah I do
is Ryan still there
I just want to do
one shift with him
fuck you
yeah but daddy's gonna come in and tell you what he thinks of you oh mate that'd be harsh wouldn't
it especially on on mike like hi guys uh we've had some emails dan can i just stop you there
you fucking nonce do you know the worst thing is that would be a normal podcast
it'd be weird oh funny funny what would you do
100 million
you just check your phone now
yeah
what would you do
100 mil
what would you do
oh I'd buy a big house
down in the
damn
you've already got
a fucking massive house
haven't you
you can always go bigger
can you
bigger is better
that's what they say
I'd keep it secret
that's my
yep
I don't want any
fucker knowing I'd come in be like
right mate you'd be you'd be bill gates rich wouldn't you you'd be where you'd be still
shopping the sales at windsors and shit just keeping it all one of those big mansions you
know down on beach lawn the ones that the owners of the titanic used to live in down in crosby
they're like 19 on that walk to freshfields beach yeah yeah yeah but then all then everyone knows then everyone
knows i'd buy a three-bed shitty looking fucking bungalow you downgrade and then
dan never has anyone around never has anyone right you go through the bungalow shithole
then out the back garden then down into a fucking tunnel then the mansion secret fucking layer i
just don't want to fucking love to see you trying

well we're going to have to have a break because we've got sponsors

The name of the place

This is the bit of the...
Oh, shit, I'm getting tit sweat.
I'm getting under tit sweat on my man skin.
No one would have ever known that because you're wearing black.
But now everyone knows and I'm not
cutting this out of the video
no matter how many times
you ask me
it's a warm day
and I've put one of the fans
on our guest
because I didn't want to be
dick and be like
you get sweaty
and I'll have it on me
but now I want a fan on me
right I'm wearing black and all
car will you blow on me
thanks mate
so this is the section
of the show
where we do some features
with our guests
our favourite features
and I've also invented
a feature specifically for you which I am rather apprehensive about because you've told
me i'm gonna hate it well you're not gonna hate it i just think it's gonna be funny to see with it
should we do that one first let's do that one first okay he's so excited about it so
uh for anyone who doesn't know uh steph or hasn't followed there for the past few years it's uh
what's your instagram handle scousebird blogs yeah and is it the same on twitter yeah i like to be uniform because it used to be scouse bird probs
yeah did you hide your identity for a while yeah were you a cartoon for a bit and then you're like
yeah i had i was anonymous for like seven years six seven years something like that and then you're
like fucking stepping out what changed it my facebook page got hacked i'd lost my instagram page for the year before and um
and then my facebook page got hacked so i kind of just had to knew i had to do something
drastic so i just thought those cunts selling selling raybon yeah i never actually wanted to
come out per se but it allowed me to like, open the shop, and stuff like that, so, it's changed it.
There's a lot of gay listeners going,
I don't think you've had it as hard,
as you think you have.
I'm coming out.
I didn't want to come out,
but,
come on,
Facebook,
Facebook.
So,
we should plug that.
So,
you've got a shop,
tell us about your shop in,
is it Crosby?
Yeah.
Okay.
Well,
according to a troll,
it's just full of overpriced tat okay nice one
thanks for people love overpriced tat though i wouldn't even take that as a slam that's a
fucking very very that's a compliment i posted the sort of the message that she sent me and i've
i had the best three days of sales all year so i still drink you sent me a little gift at christmas
which was lovely by the way yeah um you sent me a cup a at Christmas which was lovely by the way you sent me a cup
a friends cup
because I know you love friends
I do
and we are friends
and I really liked it
and you sent me
Mrs. One of Your Diaries
which is a very popular
idea
with all the Scouse women
so please
if you're ever in Crosby
and you can get stuff online
as well
what's the website?
Scousebirdshop.com
there we go
go and check some stuff out
there's so many really good stuff
it's not overpriced
it's really really good
especially if you're the scouser
And if you're a left leaning
On the political side
If you hate Tories
And you love cleaning
Because we've got a lot of
Spanish cleaning products
That's a fucking great slogan
You hate Tories
And you love cleaning
Come to Scouse Bitch
My wife is checking your website
My new slogan
Because at the moment
It's just Sally says
We're full of overpriced tats.
So, with knowing you were coming on,
we've been thinking recently,
we want to change stuff up a little bit
when we've got our guests on,
and try and tailor maybe a feature to them
and who they are,
especially when it's not just a comedian coming in.
You're our first non-comedian,
non-stand-up comedian guest.
You're not me, but until you get on stage.
It's fun not having, like we've not talked about stand-up. You're also're not me but until you get on stage it's fun
not having
like we've not talked
about stand-up
and also your first female
I believe
yeah
begrudgingly
that's what I said
first non-comedian
talking about
it's a joke
don't cancel me
it's honestly
talking about banks
for that long
was actually
more fun
than talking about stand-up.
This is like our 90th record.
We've talked a lot about comedy, and we will do.
I love talking about banks.
It's quality.
Okay, well, next week we'll get a banker on
or somebody who works at Alton Towers or something.
So tell us about Nemesis.
Oh, that sounds great!
I know you were trying to do banter.
I was like, I've got loads of questions.
Has someone shit themselves on Rita?
Defo.
Do you think someone's pooed on her?
I reckon I'd shit myself looking at it,
like watching it run.
Oh, it's so good.
The smile.
What's the smile?
Is that a new one?
That's the one where the woman lost a leg or something.
Yeah.
Well, you know, it's a really good roller coaster.
What's Oblivion?
The one that just waits
and then drops
we had an Irish kid
in the queue in front of us
for the whole queue
two hours a queue
little Irish kid
in the accent you were doing
over here come on
he just waited
and then did the advert
and went
don't
look
down
and the first three times
he did it
we were like
it's gonna be fun
two hours a queue later
I could have murdered
an Irish child
don't look
down i am terrified of all of the vibes i've been on a few when i first got with jade one of our
first dates was to um blackpool and i went on like the grand national one and i went i wouldn't go on
the pepsi max i won't go to alton towers all the scouts comedians a few years ago were like going
to alton towers you're? I was like, no.
They were like, well, why not?
I was like, I'm terrified of rides.
And they were like, Paul Smith went to me,
you do know statistically you're more likely to die in the car on the way there than on any of the rides.
And I was like, well, I'm not going,
so I'm not going to be in the car either.
But I hate that shit.
Like, well, you actually, shark attacks happen.
You're like, babe, I'm still scared of sharks.
Fuck off.
So I noticed from your social
media and being friends and following you for a while you're a fan of the inspirational quote
aren't you yeah you are okay a chunk of your posts on instagram and twitter are like inspirational
quotes fair to say and that's how you're gonna get done now i've done material in the past about like
inspirational quotes being a bit stupid yeah i don't know you've taken piss out of mine i do text you sometimes don't i and go this one's a bit daft so like i i had a thing
a joke about like people will believe anything as long as it's written on a sunset you don't
even try and trick people that yours are just white background you let the words you let the
words stand for what they stand for times new New Roman. Microsoft Word. Keep it simple. I mean, Twitter font is hell better than you
if we're talking fonts.
I'm sorry.
Do you believe in the quotes you post?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay, good.
Pretty much.
Do you write them?
Or do you just sort of retweet them?
I'm pleading the 50th
because I don't want to walk into a trap
because I feel like that's where this is going.
So what I've done is...
I don't even know.
I have the right not to incriminate myself.
You do.
I've got a list of inspirational quotes.
Now, some of them are yours
and at least one of them I've made up.
Okay.
At least one.
Yeah.
Right?
So I'm going to read them out.
I want you to tell us whether you think you posted them or not
and then what it means okay is that okay
okay okay I just want to see whether you can tell the bullshit from the really meaningful stuff and
I'm gonna read them how I read them when when you post them okay okay so I've gone back like three
years on your Instagram for fuck's sake so I just thought this would be that funny right you ready so we'll
start with this one we all eat lies when our hearts are hungry i did not post that you did
it wasn't what i wrote though i might have i might have screenshotted from somewhere else
that's not one that i actually think that was one of your tweet ones was it i think so these are from ages ago though i just think that's them that's not one
i told you on the way here he was like he was like she'll get them all and i was like she won't
i guarantee she won't this is so much fun so i can't wait to try and work it out now now that
i know what the sort of standard is of what you're reposting, I'm really intrigued to see the ones that Adam's tried to make up,
like, Jews are all right.
Did you say it?
There's no bad relationships.
They're all preparing you to appreciate the real thing when it arrives.
And sis, it will arrive.
Enjoy the dick on route.
I feel like I really like that
and I want to post that
did you make that one up
I want you to take a guess what do you think
I think you made that one up
I did make that one up
you can have it though
yeah send me it I'm going to post that
enjoy the dick on route
that's the one that got me
because I was like yeah that's me
dick on route that's Adam the one that got me because I was like, yeah, that's me, that's me, that's me.
Dick on Ruth, that's Adam.
Oh my God.
You're actually good at these.
You're 0-2 here.
No, she's 1-0.
She got that one.
She said I made that one up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Okay.
1-0, sorry.
If we fuck,
then you like my mate's selfie
and you don't like mine.
Be prepared for me to shag your dad.
Okay, I definitely did not write that one okay no i didn't i didn't post that you don't think you posted it are you sure
yeah you didn't i mean
that doesn't seem like a very me thing if yours get more aggressive i don't know where this is ended up on a slow day when i was looking for content to post i might have been
oh this is so much fun
i'm sorry lately i've been replacing why is this happening to me to what is this trying to teach
me yeah and everything around me changed yeah that's one of
our posts are definitely that's one of yours it is one of yours yeah i'm gonna next this next one
i'm gonna ask carl and dan to see whether have you seen any of these nope no no okay so i'm
gonna ask them first and then you can say whether you think okay okay okay so
we all have issues because we all have a story.
The voice.
And no matter how much work you've done on yourself,
we all snap back sometimes.
So be easy on you.
Growth is a dance, not a light switch.
No, that's not you.
You don't think that's her?
No, no, no, I think that's her.
I don't think that's you.
Okay.
Because your last one was like, I'll fuck dad are they not all sexual right i think that's steph yeah we think it's steph i
think i i didn't write that one but i think i have posted that one you have i agree it really
made me laugh isn't linear gross is a dance i didn't write it i didn't write that i just
posted that can i just say the reason i went with steph
is because i don't know all of steph's stuff but i couldn't see you going right hang on growth is a
dance i just couldn't imagine you typing like switch up especially when you've just gone i'll
fuck your dad okay men are like trees They can be pretty
They're fun to climb on
And without them
The human race would die out
But they're a nightmare
To look after
They can block your view
If you get too close
And fall on for one
Might kill you
That's you
You reckon?
Yeah
No I think that's you
I've told you what this one is
I don't know the answer to this one
So you think it's me Read it again No I think it's you the answer to this one So you think it's me
Read it again
No I think it's you
You think it's me and you think it's Steph
Men are like trees
They can be pretty
They're fun to climb on
And without them the human race would die out
But they're a nightmare to look after
They can block your view if you get too close
And falling for one might kill you
I don't think that's you
I think that's Steph
It is me
I really wanted to get you with that one you know I thought that would have been dead funny
I just in my head I'm like can I imagine you being that creative and like
what think of trees think of trees but apparently I've underestimated you
I've never done a tree meme. Okay, so there's
a couple more.
And then we'll move on.
Life isn't a hill.
It's bigger than that.
It's a mountain.
It's yours.
I'd wait to buy one of you.
Life isn't a hill. It's bigger than that.
It's a mountain
it's mostly uphill
but there's ups and downs
on the way
if you get to the top
embrace it
because it's always harder
on the way down
especially because
you can still see people
on their way up
no that's not me
you don't think so?
no
honestly you've lost me now
I don't
I'm not sure if I know
that's all that matters is things that you can't tell I'm starting to be like I thought I had you've lost me now I don't I'm not sure if I know I'm not sure I'm starting to be
like I thought I had you figured out but because you got me on the last one I'm like he has got a
creative little gentle side don't uh that was you no no it wasn't I'm joking it wasn't you can't
change the people around you but you can change the people around you yeah that was mine 100% you can't what you can't change the people around you but you can change the people around you yeah that was mine 100 you
can't what you can't change the people around you but you can change the people around you
that's mine i thought you'd misread it you can't change the people around you if you'd like me to
explain yeah do you want to explain do you melt dicks what i felt like yeah but you don't right
so if i was hanging around with you and you were like
horrible people
I can't change this
but I can change
the people that I
hang around with
yeah
yeah yeah yeah
do you know what I mean
now I get it
do you get it
yeah
I felt thick
initially
yeah
so you can't
change the people
around you
but you can change
the people around you
you can change
the people
who you are around
what about family though
oh
fuck them
oh Steph
give me a little
round of applause
I'll tell you what though
you did so much better
than that
than I hoped you would
yeah
yeah
that was really good
I can see you like
your little
your evil laugh
the whole way through
you're just like
nah I've got a
I've got a round for you
I love it when Adam's
buzzing on something
he's like

It's really fun.
You all right?
Where are you going?
I've got a little light bulb blown.
It's annoying, isn't it?
Yeah.
Very, very annoying.
Light bulb blown.
So we're going to start the episode again.
So have you ever worked in a bank?
Great banter.
So one of our most popular features is just... Do that again. One of our most popular features is just do that again one of our most popular feet
this podcast is going great now lights are blowing you've got wind
uh like a podcast is like a burp you've just got to just do it and get over it what
do you say you've got a really weird bear yeah what's wrong with it sounds like brian verdonte can you make yourself bad
that sounds like a sign
what sounds like a funny fart
does sound like a funny fart i think that's one of the funniest sounds
I love it when the podcast go weird weird broadcast bright burn off i don't know what's happening i don't know but you've had a
stroke and this is what it looks like right with the would you rathers the key is and i live by
live and die by this you can never be like what's the point you've got to live the truth live the
reality okay so these these are one of the most popular things that our listeners send in.
Okay.
Send them in via Instagram, haveawaypod.gmail.com.
If you're listening, get them in and we will do some.
Have a word, stupid questions and would you rathers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So two options, got to pick one.
No backing out.
How disgusting are we going here?
They're not that bad
no there's not
there's not even
a really bad one
I've told you
I won't talk about scath
yeah
you won't talk about
eating shit
just getting on your knees
to the toilet bowl
and sniffing it
to test your sense
I'll sniff it
I won't lick it
I'm not an animal
so
would you rather
be able to remember
absolutely everything
every time you get hammered
or never to be able to remember a single thing
even if you only have the smallest bit of ale?
So like half a shandy and your memory's gone till the next day
or you can get blitzed and you remember every second in vivid detail?
I'd rather remember every second in vivid detail because I am that friend.
I am that friend who does remember everything in vivid detail.
And the next day I'm like that going,
do you remember last night when you did shut up stuff?
And I'm like, yeah, but it was really funny because shut up.
I don't want to know.
Let me play the video.
Do you agree?
Are you good at?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're both absolutely fucking mental
what
the best anecdotes
like night house
remember when you were a prick
that's the funniest bit
of the night house
the best anecdotes
from a night house
like some of the things
I've done
that he's had to tell me
the next day
and
I'm glad I haven't got
the video to play
in my own head
and I've just got the story
because then I can
detach myself from it
and be like
oh that happened to me
when I was drunk
I don't want to
oh no
do you ever do anything
when you're
absolutely hammered
that you just hate forever
I mean yeah
but it's like
it's part of life
isn't it
it's part of your experience
but you can choose it
not to be
nah
it doesn't make it
not happen
you still happened
also it'd be fairly dangerous
for a woman
for anyone wouldn't it, to be like,
I've had half a shandy, I've got no memory.
Oh, I'll probably stop drinking half a shandy then.
You're not, like, drunk.
No, but you can't remember anything.
You just get one sniff of a fucking lager top,
and you're like...
And absolutely blackout now.
I, there's, also, I just, like,
there's so many chats where,
at the time, I'm'm like this is a fucking
great conversation yes i'm loving this bullshit and then the next day like what was that chat
about i'd like to actually remember that sort of this is that's why i like drugs because you have
the energy of like oh i'm talking shit but you remember it it's sort of like chat wise i don't
like clubbing and dancing is one thing but I love that slightly fucked and having the most intense chat,
but then you actually remember it.
I've never experienced that.
Okay, well.
Yeah, I just, I mean, I'm a blackout guy.
You just like getting blackout drunk.
No, I don't.
I don't really like getting hammered anymore
because I just don't like the next day.
I don't like the feeling of being drunk and being out.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe i do want to remember it anyway
um it's a good one though it's a good challenge but you thought that would be more contentious
and we both went yeah yeah i did i thought i was going to get yours and i fucking never and i
pissed off um would you rather this is funny okay this came via Instagram. Would you rather have to sing Grease Lightning in its entirety at the top of your voice every time you have a wee?
Mm-hmm.
Or you have to hum it under your breath all day, every day, whenever you're not talking.
You can never explain either of them to anyone, even your closest friends and family.
So your best mate could be like, Steph, you were in the cubicle next to me or the same one like
girls do and you were just screaming grease lightning why was that and you just have to
like walk away you can't explain why would you pick grease lightning i didn't write the questions
i can't tell you the degree to which my friends are mentally ill I would rather sing it
while I was having a wee
shouting it though
yeah
and people
da da da da da da da
the grease lightning
even if you just need
a little wee
yeah
aren't you
but you get annoyed
about like whistling
so the humming thing.
Imagine having someone just humming it
and no one would even want to be amazed.
Have you ever hummed during sex?
What time was that?
No, listen, right?
The reason why I asked for grease lightening
is because once I was, you know,
doing the nasty.
Boning, Scott.
Yeah, riding.
Riding? Riding the D wave. I was, you know, doing the nasty. Boning, Scott. Yeah, riding.
Riding?
Riding the D-Wave.
And I had my Alexa on.
You shuffle.
I was just getting into it, and Grease Lightning came on.
And I remember thinking, this is really fucking weird.
But neither of us said anything until after.
But you still bonked?
Yeah, I mean, we carried on you know you didn't the tempo went off
that is so funny
the shaggy
bent over the desk
like
I never ever thought
I'd write a dick
to Grease Lightning
I'm not gonna lie
and he was laughing
and I was laughing
it was just
one of those things
like both of us
kind of knew
it was really
fucking weird
but neither of us
mentioned it
until afterwards
what's the worst
song you can think of
to come on on the Alexa when you're like mid-bang and
building up to the fucking good stuff just all of a sudden alexa pops up harpy theme tune
dmx where's the hood at where's the hood at
if you're banging me that would would be, you know, the old snippage.
Imagine timing it perfectly, though.
You just get a certain size dick out.
Candle in the wind.
Oh, yeah.
Common thing in a Princess Diana.
I mean, you know, we've all had a kink on a hangover.
Oh, my God.
Diana funeral wanks a bit much, innit?
It seems to me that you live there. oh my god Diana funeral wanks a bit much innit and you've got
flowers against the
wall like you've
put in your own
little mural at
Kensington Palace
yeah if there's a
song that's coming
on a dead princess
and Elton John
are not the people
you wanted to
invoke in your head
yeah but Adam
thinks everyone's
got every kink
if you
this is Adam's
theory with like
pervs and kink no but
everything you can conceive of
Adam's like
there's porn for that
there's definitely
that's a kink
there is
there is
I'm not saying
everyone likes it
no
tell me something you think
people don't have a kink
and I will find it
right now
Lucy Liu
put on Twitter
the other day
that she got shagged
by a ghost
or something like that
some nice story
and I thought
oh my god
I wonder if there's
like a ghost section on Pornhub.
There is.
Right.
There's a whole section for ghost porn.
There isn't a Diana's funeral section on Pornhub.
There isn't a Princess Diana.
Adam's gone into private browser mode.
There isn't a Princess.
The specific fantasy is Princess Diana's death in 1997.
No one's cracking one out to that. Some royalists, there's some like Princess Diana's death in 1997 no one's cracking
one out to that
there's some royalists
there's some like
Princess Diana
super fans
on like Facebook
like they've got
Facebook groups
and that
of course
but do they
masturbate to it
there isn't a
Princess Diana
section on Pornhub
there will be
next week
unless it's on
premium and you've
got to pay for it
which would make
sense
Adam was like
people there will be sweet I don't know how we mentioned it but coughing on dicks and Adam unless it's on premium and you've got to pay for it which would make sense adam was like people
there will be sweet i don't know how we mentioned it but coughing on dicks and adam was like yeah
there'll be some guy that's gone into a brothel that there's no man has ever asked a prostitute
will you cough on my dick oh they definitely have come on dan yeah i get that you're like
i don't get like in a brothel Going Could you cough on my dick
And she's like what

Farm scammers there

We do our tricks
Here scammer
We don't cough on a dick
And that's it
Sexy that isn't it
I'm telling you
The spittle hitting your helmet.
Oh, God.
Yeah, the force of the air as it's expelled.
I understand the theory of people are into everything,
it gets weird in places.
I'm just not sure just a cough on a dick is everyone's like,
that's my thing.
I mean, I'm sure it wouldn't just be the cough on the dick,
but I'm sure that would add to, like, excitement.
What's your weird thing? Have you got a weird thing? I'm into big kn't just be the cough on the dick but I'm sure that would add to like excitement and what's your weird thing have you got a weird thing
I'm into big knickers at the moment
I mean
I'm not talking about my sexual kinks
did you see that have a word we have
did you see the
did you see the have a word
I feel like we've tripped up on it
naturally
we had a word from a listener who's basically,
thinks she's got a weird thing for bad teeth.
Right.
Go for it if you want.
Right.
Ori, Ahmed and Dita, they say our names wrong on purpose.
I'm a happily married mother from the northeast of England
and I live near the Metro Centre.
Metro Centre.
Very well done.
I need you to have a word with me.
I recently realised I have an odd
he's looking for porn
he's literally
I saw it in my periphery
he's scrolling through
porn
he's looking for
he's dying to see
someone cough on a dick
no context
I've word
I recently realised
I have an odd fetish
for men with slightly
crooked or uneven teeth
not minging teeth
just ones with a
slight imperfection
This realization came to me and I saw the pic for one of the recent pods and caught myself looking at Dan's teeth
Beautiful and white but slightly uneven at the bottom. That's just this is harsh. I thought that's fit
See, I'm Tony because it's a compliment and a dig that's for the same. They like your teeth
No, they're saying I've got fucking uneven teeth that are crooked,
but she likes it.
I realise Dan isn't...
Such a neg, that, innit?
I realise Dan isn't disgusting looking.
A solid 6.5 out of 10.
Thanks for that fucking.5.
But I also can see that he resembles a noncey,
Ade Edmondson.
So it got me thinking about why I suddenly fancied him.
I journeyed back through my back catalogue of weird crushes. Right, this video is called
Cough and Fetish 7. Now I can't find
the first six, but I'm guaranteeing it.
Let me finish this.
Weird crushes, and they all had one thing in common.
Uneven, crooked, snaggled teeth.
Harsh. No matter how
vile the person, I just love a snaggled tooth.
What an absolute weirdo I am.
So, my husband
has beautifully perfect teeth, and this is why i
need you to have a word with me before i start some snaggle fetish club and get divorced that's
a she just wants to shag someone else that's from claire and she's looking for the opposite of what
she's got she so her husband's got a bit of strange well first of all thanks for the teeth
dig and compliment at the same time i I don't think your teeth are bad.
Thank you.
I've got a thing for big noses.

or Cillian Murphy
Cillian Murphy isn't it
yeah it's Cillian
Cillian is it

in Rosie
the mafia boss
have you seen that
video
Killian Murphy
talking about his kids
on like an Irish chat show
it's like
it was just
they just passed
like homosexuality

or whatever in Ireland
and he gets asked
like what do you think
about your kids
growing up in a world
where that's now legal
or whatever
and he goes
I don't care if they're
gay or straight
or whatever
as long as they're not
goths
that's a good lie i was a goth no you weren't i was you were a goth did you not know
that about me oh i've just remembered the photo yeah you were jade was a goth as well scouse goth
and then your facebook got hacked and you had to fucking change it all up i'm talking like when i
was 16 but like i went to k when i was like obviously i used to because then i like wear
fake tan and that now i used to put talc on my face for school to make me skin whiter
how much how much fucking talc were you using to cover your face just like face powder. When did you go to school, the Elizabethan era?
Wow.
Talk.
Yeah, he'd like to just make me face paler.
That's what Michael Jackson did. Give it more of like a death pallor.
Every morning, just a big bag of talk.
Like Scarface.
Is this your Michael Jackson impression?
Yeah, I'm putting talking powder on my face.
It's one of these impressions that you've got no business doing.
That's it.
She's just a girl like us.
Target powder.
Put it on my tuppence.
Put it on my goochie after the swimming baths.
He never went to the leisure centre, did he?
He's a hair bit from Family Guy. Michael Jackson never went down the never went to the leisure centre, did he? Sounds like Herbert from Family Guy.
Michael Jackson never went down the YMCA for a swim, did he?
For a swim.
I'm doing that thing where I'm really hungry and I'm going weird.
In fact, if we get hungry on the pod,
you're like all over the show.
You're like, ugh.
Okay, before we lock it off, I've got to have a weird submission
that I would just love
To get a female perspective on
Okay
Can I play the music
You can't hear it
It's time for
Have a word
With Adam and Dan
Tell us all the problems
Have a different
Sorry
Sorry
Right
So
This was sent via Instagram
And it got sent the other day
I think it's important
That we get this one out quickly
And it's just great
that we have someone
who can offer a thing
that maybe me and Dan can't.
So,
Dear Ali Baba and Dean.
Fucking creative on that, isn't it?
I need you to have a word
with my friend
whose name I'll omit
because he's an avid fan
of the podcast.
Ooh, Jesus.
Hi, you.
Getting subtweeters on a podcast?
Hello? I heard on a podcast Hello
I heard on a recent episode that Adam mentioned one of his schoolmates
Was bullied for only having one testy
It's true
One of my mates at school only had one ball
Because he got volleyed in the ball and it had to get cut off
So
He said he will omit his mates name
And then use it in this sentence
Bullied for only having one testy
Well my mate was the same.
He got an infection down there, and when he was dead young,
the doctors decided the best thing to do was turn a bike into a unicycle,
if you know what I mean.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, we know what you mean.
What a euphemism.
We know what you mean.
He's been going out with this girl for a month now,
and she's made him wait eight dates before they do anything sexual.
She's a nader.
The other night was date number seven
and he's proper excited for number eight next week.
The problem is he hasn't told her
about his 50% off situation.
The only other girls he's slept with
either went to our school and knew about this already
because his nickname was literally only one Kenobi.
I love that.
That's amazing.
That's very well done though,
isn't it?
So he's only slept with them
and one night stands
where everyone's pissed
and the person he's took home
probably can't tell a difference.
I mean,
well,
let's just say side note.
If a girl can't tell a difference
between one ball and two,
maybe you should leave her
in the club.
What's she doing?
Checking though.
Right, condom. Right, let's have your pants off. Maybe you should leave her in the club. What's she doing? Checking, though. Right.
Condom.
Right.
Let's have your pants off.
Reaching under.
Cough for me.
I don't think anyone gives a shit.
I thought you said you didn't think of coughing fetishes.
Schooled.
I keep trying to tell him that he needs to tell her for so many reasons.
It's not like he hasn't had ample opportunity.
I'm right, aren't I? Have a word. Love love the pod even if you disagree with me from steven so steph
essentially what i want to know from a female perspective is if you were seeing a lad for a
month and you've made him wait and you're finally getting ready to do the deed and he whips out a
one bollock hitler situation yeah yeah uh a dick with a tash
Are you going to be arsed
And would you have some warning
No
That's just
To be honest the balls aren't that important
To the females
They're in the way if anything aren't they
Yeah exactly you know you give them a little tickle
You maybe
I mean it'll be easier to get it in your mouth
if anything.
Are you a ball in the mouth?
I'm not a big fan
of the balls in the mouth.
I'm really not.
I don't think
that should happen.
It's dangerous.
You can't leave
the balls out.
No, I don't mind
a little bit of a,
you know.
Do you mean you can't
leave them out?
Are you saying
you put the balls
in with the dick? No, I mean like, you can't leave them out of the whole experience. No, we don't mind a little bit of a, you know. Do you mean you can't leave them out? Are you saying you put the balls in with the dick?
No, I mean, like, you can't leave them out of the whole experience, you know. No, we don't have to buy it once.
They don't have to go in.
That's what I'm saying.
But they can do.
But if you've only got one, you don't want a girl putting balls in your mouth.
Because if she breathes in.
What, it's going down your throat?
Honestly, the other ones are safe.
How much of a screw-all sack is this?
I know.
Can you imagine choking a girl and your balls
trapped in the windpipe?
How long are your bags?
I'm old now.
They're getting old.
Is there anything
you would like
worn them for?
Like, you know,
if you had like
a tiny dick
or a weird shape,
odd colour.
Yeah, I'd need worn them
because that's the
sort of thing
that you need
to kind of prepare
your... Not bothered face. Yeah, you need to kind of prepare your not bothered face
yeah you need to
prepare like
yeah exactly
so you don't go
what the fuck
you don't go
you need to be
it's like you know
like the Oscars
where like
they're all nominated
and then the person wins
and then they pan to the losers
and they're all like
oh yeah I'm so pleased
about this
you need to sort of
practice that face
that's so fucking true yeah how small just i'm asking for a friend how small is small stuff
just between you and me we'll do
how small small we would always prefer girth speaking for womankind totally but what if you
haven't got either?
I mean, I'm not going to lie.
Give me a length. I almost lost my virginity to someone
and couldn't because
What?
It was too small?
Yeah, he couldn't keep the condom on
because it was that small.
It was like the
length and girth of like half
a tinned hot dog.
So I've never been able
to look at a can
of ye olde oak again.
Like a finger?
Yeah.
You couldn't keep a condom
on your finger, could you?
A little Cadbury's finger.
Do you remember
that our mate told us
he fingered someone
with a condom on?
We won't name him.
Why not?
Has that just come back to you?
In meat?
Yeah, remember meat in town?
Oh God, you'd want to wear a condom on your finger there,
wouldn't you?
He'd come back from the dance,
and this is like we'd never really seen him in my cares.
I mean, I used to go there all the time,
but it was full of wrong-uns.
Read into that what you will.
He'd come back to us,
we'd lost him for like an hour,
and we were like, where have you been?
And he was like, I've just fingered some babe.
And he had like a condom in his hand
and we were like
what's that for
and he was like
I put a condom on
and we were like
you don't put a condom on
just to do a bit of fingering
weren't you fucking lying
you do
yeah
it wasn't
can I just say
that guy
if he
unless he's got a beard
that sniffs his fingers
oh fucking
oh god
oh god
he's not cheating
I'm so glad
that was you that said that.
I mean, he didn't have a beard,
but that is stealth, that, innit?
It's mad that your brain even went there.
Yeah, but by the way...
Have you ever done that?
You fellas coming in, you're going,
come here, let me smell your dick,
your fingers, and your neck.
Let me sniff your dick, mate.
Yeah, but if she smells...
Let me sniff your dick.
I think I've got COVID.
If she smells...
No, but, like, it's sort of an interest for you, because that is apparently, like, an evolutional thing. I think I've got COVID. If she smells.
It's sort of an interest for you because that is apparently
like an evolutional thing.
That's like what oral sex
is all about.
That's why there's smells
and things like that down there,
like natural smells
because it's like an evolutionary thing
to detect if there's infidelity.
If you can smell another man's skin.
Either you've been faithful
or I am very sick.
Stop the pod
honestly I'm reading a book at the moment but it's called
the history of sex and there's all like different
like chaps on it and that was one of the things like
oral sex part of the whole
why you should keep your natural smells and that
it's an evolution thing A to turn each other on
but B it's also
to detect infidelity
there's like 8 points of like with
DNA and what you're
attracted to it's like a is it not a hexagon what's a an octagon so ideally in terms of attraction
you want to meet someone that's at the opposite side of the octagon if you like your sister your
brother or whatever has exactly the same dna as you that's why their smell their natural smell
is unattractive yeah you're like
if I sleep on a
at my sister's house
if I like
stay in her spare room
she's like
oh god I had to change that
because I went for a nap
while
I could smell
your smell
on the
and it's because
it's a natural thing
you want to meet someone
that's on the opposite side
yeah
so you need your natural smells
to sort of give off
that like
not pheromones and everything but it's the natural oh that's interesting there you need your natural smells to sort of give off that like not pheromones
and everything but it's not natural oh it's interesting there you go and it extends to
fingers does it funny and interesting from me i'm like the perfect guess yeah well that's what
ideally finger on the condom what if your finger smelt of like condom though that's still gonna
be a bit of a red flag and it's a psycho girlfriend hand sanitizer he's blaming on that
i think he used a strawberry one so he probably was like keeping eating strawberries
the fuck are you doing
using a finger
in strawberries
or eating them
oh yeah yeah
there's something wrong
with you you know
there's really
something missing
yeah but there's a porn
in it
strawberry fingering
try and find it
oh no that's right
it doesn't exist
there's definitely
going to be fruit porn
not strawberry fingering I've put strawberry porn and There's definitely going to be fruit porn. Not strawberry fingering.
I've put strawberry porn and it's
corrected to strawberry porn star martini.
Is there anything weird that's ever happened
like the first time you've got with a guy
and you've been like, I can't handle
that, like where you haven't been warned?
I'm just wondering, because I do want to answer this.
Just that one. I think that's at that time. the little tiny willie yeah because it's you've never had
a man like cry after it or scream yippee as he comes or anything like that
what no just i'm just trying to imagine the worst thing you could say
the worst thing you could say at the point of orgasm to ruin a first date like
you are someone said liquor no
that's what you've just said no i said wicked oh right it's like from bo selector from years ago
like wicked just at the point of orgasm just like what do you think the worst thing champion the
worst one word a man or a woman could say as they finish squelch oh no because that that's just a sound and i mean like a word i
don't think any girl would be happy if you said that if you just went in her ear squelch
especially if she was an everton fan she'd be fucking fuming Disappointing As the Disappointing Yeah if you
If you make it like
Frumpy
Disappointing
Frumpy
Fromage frais
I did once say that after sex
The first thing I said after sex
It was like
Oh I fancy a bowl of cornflakes
And that young lady was not impressed
I mean You need to get your stamina back up fancy a bowl of cornflakes. And that young lady was not impressed.
I mean, you need to get your stamina back up.
Get the sugar back in for round two,
and you can actually finish her off.
But how small is small, though, penis-wise?
You know what we were talking about before?
I mean, that one's the smallest I've ever seen.
What are we talking length for?
Like a finger. Like a finger?
Like Carl's finger?
He's got the longest fingers.
Yeah. That's a good sized finger
I'll see you later Carl
You know what they say
About long fingers
Yeah
Really helpful
For robbing banks
Boss of granola money
Great at directions
You want to go that way?
What was that?
That noise That you just made?
Got a weird laugh?
Fucking.
You're fucking.
What did you do when you got the little sausage finger dick out?
Did you just go?
I just played dead.
You played dead?
Now there's definitely porn about that.
100%. Playing dead porn. I'm going to sleep. Played dead. Dead That's great No there's definitely There's definitely porn About that 100%
Plain dead porn
I've seen it
I'm going to sleep
Played dead
Were you already
Lying down
Just stood in the kitchen
Just stood in the kitchen
I was quite
I was quite drunk
Pretend you had a nanny
Is it
Just to get out of sex
Yeah
You've never had like a
One night stand
Have you Serial monogamist not even in japan i was
with my girlfriend in japan so i've been even harder yeah she's sniffing everything won't you
yeah i keep it in my cupboard so i can't do much your dick on my bed i thought you meant your dick
i thought that as well like oh can you get different ones for different occasions?
That's what I thought he meant.
Like, where's my dick?
I left it in the kitchen cupboard.
You've moved my dick again.
Honestly, I just want one place for the car keys and the dicks.
Where would you keep it though?
The fridge or the cupboard?
So you've got to go high
because you don't want your daughter walking around with your dick, do you?
If your kids find your dick, that's a fucking awkward moment.
You show your kids your dick all the time?
When you detach a collar, is it hard or soft?
Stop the fucking part.
I've got attachments, I've got modes.
I don't show my child my dick.
I am naked in front of my child sometimes.
If you word it like that, it sounds fucking awful.
It sounds like I'm going, come here, love, come here, I i'm showing you something i'm just naked in front of my kids sometimes you know because we're a family and
that's what happens steph back me up sometimes there's nudity in the house he's like he's
fucking never seen my dad's dick right that's a new law isn't it for the pod good i've never ever
ever seen my dad but now you're 28 i don't think that should happen i'm talking historically i
think probably especially with like girls and that i think we're taught from a very
early age to be sort of ashamed of our bodies and things like that so i don't know i suppose i'm just
trying to teach kora that like nudity is like you know normal and bodies are normal and trying to
be both yeah it's like trying to be positive about it laura read somebody she wants to become a
nudist one of those people who ride bikes with their fucking arse out on there. I don't judge anyone if that's what she wants to do with her life.
Really?
Yeah.
You'd just be okay with that?
I mean, when she's over...
I hope she sees this podcast at 16 and she's trying to rebel.
When she's an adult, she can do what she wants.
Yeah.
What if your daughter wants to be a nudist?
Literally, as long as she's not a dick to me,
she can be whatever she wants.
We all have body autonomy.
I honestly, I watch her flirt with her next door neighbour
who's 15 and I'm like,
you're going to be a fucking nightmare.
I'm almost preparing myself.
She's three.
I'm not joking.
He comes out and she goes,
I can see it in her.
She goes, hi Aaron.
She does her face.
I'm like, oh my God, you're going to be a fucking nightmare.
You're three and a half and you're flirting.
I'm almost psychologically getting myself all right
with her being a stripper.
I'm like, just get ready.
Can't be like, I can't believe this.
Just get Aaron in a headlock.
I'm just going to, I'm just,
I think you've got to be with your kids.
I'm not an expert.
You've got to let them be what the fuck they're going to be
and just be there to support them
and hope they're not a murderer. On the subject of strippers me and jade were talking the other day
right just i don't want to waste the opportunity for a female's perspective in this you know so
i i was saying like she she mentioned about like if i ever have a stag do where i would go what i
would do and whatever and we were watching a program and that's where the conversation would
come from because they were on a stag do and there was a stripper there
and she was like
if you go to a stripper's
on your stag do
that's fine
but it's better be
a no touching one
you're not touching
a fucking vagina
or a boob
or anything like that
and I was like
okay Sam
can you cough on it
and she was like
I don't
she said
I'm going to have to have
two hen do's
like one just for me friends
in case they want to get me
something like that
because I can't have that in front of me nan and my mom and that and i was like
and she was like and also like i was like it'd be fine no she was like i suppose it wouldn't be bad
because the male ones don't take the pants off do they and i was like the absolute they're called
strippers for a reason yeah i was like yeah i went to if you touch a stripper's dick if you slap it
about a bit i'm not going to be upset by that that'd be the funniest thing
in the world to me
if you just
like don't suck him off
but
if you could just
if you bang it about
flick his balls
that's never going to upset me
is that
are you allowed to do that
on a male stripper
oh yeah
have you ever seen a male stripper
I don't think you're allowed to
I think you're allowed to
like touch the bum on that
slap it about
and flick his balls
no not the anal
not the anal cavity
or anything
just the cheek not the what the anal cavity or anything Not the what?
The anal cavity
Alright, thanks Dr. Steph
Dr. Steph is listening today
She's going to tell us what a male stripper is
No, I haven't
But I would like to know if you can request a helicopter
Because I do think when a man helicopters his dick
It's the funniest thing ever
See, mine is like a hand fan
Have you ever seen On a remote control uh motorboat there's a little fucking
thing at the back a little yeah that's mine what shows i call b52 shut up you fucking sensei nonce
have you ever been to a male stripper no no no no i mean i've watched magic mike but
that's the same is it you didn't get his dick out of watching magic mike no and also like i think
all male strippers would just pale in comparison to that once you've seen like matthew mcconaughey
also what you're spending what you're spending because you need to go you like in comedy have
you seen comedy yeah i've seen mickey flanagan Adam Rowe if you don't spend
any money
you're an open spot
is there open spot
male strippers
what like unpaid
for the experience
he needs stage time
that's the problem
it's like women
don't need to pay money
to see a man's dick
yeah
we just don't need it
you can just ask
we don't even have to ask
they just come in the DMs
every now and again
go here's the dick
does that happen a lot to you
do you know what
it doesn't happen a lot to me and I think you're upset by it no no i just do you know what it
sounds like and i'm not trying to big myself up here or anything like that but what i mostly get
is marriage proposals and invitations to dinner but then occasionally i do get a dick pic they're
quite respectful all three at once classy lady do you ever get all three From the same guy at once

But on the YouTube, we could still play the song.
We'd just have to have a little word screen, couldn't we?
No, that'll look dreadful.
We shouldn't do that.
On the audio, we play a song out.
These might be some of the last songs then,
because it doesn't really work if it's not on the tube.

See you later.
And now, you are going to dance like you've never danced before.
Get the fuck out of my face.
This is a journey into sound.
So pretty please, with sugar on top.
I'm expecting some new style soon.
If you don't know what ghetto style means by now
I guess I'm just gonna have to break it down for you
Hello sir, madam
Welcome to the world of design fueled madmen
Dead kings firing indecision
A decadence takes it all
Obesity, flus, just abuse of them
I crawl smarts and nicotine, black hearts drop so bittersweet
It's a bigger scene than ego, with one moment's craving
We either provide for one another or compete to be the best queer
Time for me to make a fucking statement in eight bars
Spit what I'm thinking, create and I'ma blaze hard
And me and dead kings, yeah we be killing it
Militant, and yeah that flow's a legitimate
We practice every day and at a show we exhibit em
So get to know, yeah we roll with an infinite style
And the flows that we hold are just brilliant
So get to know, we be winning, yeah
I come heavy on the track, you shoulda known that
My 8 bar go haywire, no superstar but I own that
Rap muscles stay flexed, I tone that
This ain't no magic market nursery, shit I ask to tone rap
Flow like hot summers but on point like a cold stack
I eat these little wrappers like a six-count snack pack
Throw your remains in a knapsack
These new kids is all ass, I'm something like a Tic Tac
Rap, rap, rap, rap
This ain't a life preserver, we're throwing ya
It's a ring of death in a circle of murderers
These dead kings stroll with the Dead Sea Scrolls
This troll walks with dragons, spitting flames
I put the surface to ya
Reserved for the purpose of dousing your whole turf
What was me? Where's the herbs? Some kind of pen?
And my rosary beads? The Hex and the Dead Kings
Is all the dystopia needs
Me name ring like a tingling of knock ears
Back to back with dead kings raised by some warriors
I turn a cipher to a massacre
You're looking at a real, raw life
Living wordsmith and bass in death
I slap a challenge yet assassinate your character any day
On the calendar, tongue spits, like a calibre profit to rip
I am the amateur, follow the script, but I will damage it
Mic check, one, two, profit track, savage it Bye.
