They go by Alan and Dave, Aaron and Dean, Grandad and the Yeti, or even Chanel and Denise.
But what's for sure is they are the funniest leads in the podcast game.
Down your tub or shandy and tell a friend.
This is Haveava Wad. Bumholes!
Look at that.
A nice, clean, crisp bumholes.
How are you?
Good.
You look nice in your Borussia Dortmund hoodie.
I bought this.
It's not a hoodie.
It's a tracky top.
Tracky top.
I bought it about 18 months ago.
And 18 months ago, the size of this was ambitious it took 18 months
for me to
whip it out the wardrobe
and be like
does this fit
and even now
it's like
sort of
which member of staff
at Borussia Dortmund
would still get the kit
but definitely
not be one of the players
you're like
I'm the
I'm the bus driver
BVB on my left hip puma on my right hip
talking to car like puma and if they ever want to sponsor us i'll take this back a bit of a
shit brand aren't they um i wouldn't wear this if it wasn't for the barisha dortmund badge yeah
because it would look a little bit like witness but But they're knocking out some money, aren't they?
In the last 10 years, they've gone up from like
some okay kits.
They've done Arsenal, now they're doing Man City.
Who else have they got?
Massive.
Have they got like...
They've started getting big European clubs.
So they're throwing money at it.
They've got clubs that want to be big European clubs,
like Manchester City.
Right.
All right.
Let's not make it political.
Although you're playing to the fucking crowd, aren't you,
on today's episode.
But, yeah, I'm not a big fan of Puma.
I can never get over that Cameroon kit from about 10 years ago
that they basically made into, like, a fucking starter bra
because they were like the
camp it was skin tight do you remember it was it 2010 um was it not earlier it was 2006 world
cup it was like a vest top wasn't it yeah it was like a spray on cameroon kit which to be fair
this feels dodgy a lot a lot of the cameroonian lads come come pull off do you know
what i mean i'm not sure the republic of ireland you know like when who are like the lower league
teams like the pharaoh islands where you've got like a milkman like who's third generation viking
you've got to be fit as fuck hungers is hund Hunders is the, he's the deputy head of the school
and the left back.
He can't have a spray on Faroe Islands puma top,
can he?
The Cameroonian lads,
in good nick.
Cameroonian.
Cameroonian.
The camos.
Can't call them the camos.
Why can't you call them camos?
Because I feel like it's just...
The runas?
The runas.
You're trying to make it racist when it's not.
The cameroonies.
The runos.
The camroos.
The camcams.
The old roondogs.
I think everything's good, but camos.
Why?
You are making up. How do you know because camo to me means
camouflage right so what you're saying is it's like no no one can see them because they're
like yeah oh okay i didn't get that that's what you thought immediately wasn't it yeah
right the camos yeah you can't yeah yeah you look all camo over there like you can't right okay yeah i can
see i can kind of see the problem but i mean where are they playing where they're playing football
the runos the runos yeah yeah the camros let's let's stop yeah anyway let's stop before we are
kicked off of youtube i i think puma make some good stuff
amidst a load of shit that like you know you know like i always feel like every puma shoe is so
close to being like oh we used to sponsor ferrari and now polish people wear the shoes like it's
oh it's all a bit it's all a bit one up from lonsdaledale, isn't it? Yeah. Well, it's like the Lonsdale of the good brands.
Like Lonsdale and Gola and Fila,
they're like conference brands, aren't they?
But like Puma is sort of competing with Adidas and Nike
and like the underarmors of the world, isn't it?
Right, so hang on.
Puma wants to be with them and it just isn't.
Are we going to do sports brand league table?
Oh, yeah, if you ask.
So basically, Adidas and Nike are Real Barca.
That's the Classico, innit?
They're Liverpool.
Yeah.
Alright.
And who's the other one?
Let's not do it.
I think Nike are top.
And Adidas and Nike are right up there
aren't they
it's close
but Nike are top
right
because of the trainees
hmm
I prefer
if I had to be sponsored
as an athlete
this doesn't
the contract doesn't
get offered a lot
but I'd go at it
I think we've spoken about it
you look like a shot putter
what
if you were going to be
anything you'd be a shot putter
fuck how much weight
have I put on
that I'm a shot putter
you look like a male Miss Trunchbull
oh at least I'm male
you look like a female shot putter
oh she's a big girl
you know Miss Trunchbull from Matilda
yeah
that's who I look like
like the male version of that
fuck off you look like Danny DeVito
Matilda's dad.
I was quite pleased with that one.
It's not often in normal conversation
you can slam someone with a Danny DeVito.
And then what are we talking below that?
It's Puma, New Balance, Under Armour.
You were saying if you could be sponsored,
you'd go with Edis.
Oh, I'm an under Edis man, yeah.
I was until recently andidas I'm an Adidas man yeah I think I was until recently
and then
I'm Nike now
I thought you genuinely
meant you'd been sponsored
by them
I was like
Adam's had a stroke
I was you know
but I've retired
from playing now
Nike Adidas
Under Armour
I mean
way Under Armour
New Balance
Under Armour
No
What?
No
Under armour are a long way off Adidas and Nike
But they're probably above New Balance
I say that
New Balance's shoes are
Would you wear a New Balance
You're wearing an under armour top now
Would you wear a New Balance top?
Yeah
Would you?
Yeah
I think
The shoes
Judging on boots and shoes
That's how you go with it
you wouldn't wear
New Balance boots
or Under Armour boots
so there's a big gap
you mean like
fuzzy boots
hang on we're getting a bit
in the weeds here
who have you ever seen
walking around in
Under Armour trainers
yeah loads of people
no though
not good ones
yeah
Under Armour are a good brand
not as good as
New Balance for shoes
Under Armour and New Balance
are very level but Under Armour are a good brand Not as good as New Balance for shoes Under Armour and New Balance are very level
But Under Armour just
Right
Then I put Puma in there with them
I see Puma's below both of them for me
Well they're in and around aren't they
You'd wear a pair of New Balance
But you would not buy a pair of Puma's
I had a pair of Puma's not so long ago
About a decade probably
Who's up there
What about Asics
Quite like Asics
I've got a pair in the nice
Is that the
O-A
A-S-I-C-S
That's how you spell it
It looks like an O on the brand
It's an A
Right okay
Yeah no they're like
Lower again
Yeah they're with
Fila and Maffamee
Oh yeah Fila
Fila's on the way back
Yeah Alessi Fila's on the way back.

No.
Deodora?
Alessi, that lad.
Hummel?
Deodora?
Yeah, sub the Hummel.
Hummel's one. You know what?
You know with Alessi and Fila and Hummel,
there's that bit of international about them,
like, ooh, they're foreign.
Umbro, you're like, oh, fuck off.
I'm not...
Oh, shit, we've forgotten Reebok.
Reebok are
just above Puma.
Reebok's fluid, though, innit?
Reebok's over Under Armour.
I'm having that. No. Absolutely

hey kappa have got a premier league team or two beautiful football kits though all right
rock bottom of everything like below georgia as the zone is lonsdale

fake brands like we're the four stripes like yeah i hate lons everyone hates lonsdale don't they
yeah if you if you see someone slasinger like lonsdale's come with an alarm that like you know
like on a trolley when you get to the edge of as the car park and it locks lonsdale's come with an alarm that like you know like on a trolley when you get to
the edge of as the car park and it locks lonsdale's have them when you go within 100 yards of a school
you can't go near the school and your trainers are beeping again
my nan did me with a pair of four stripes once Yeah I didn't realise Until I was in the street
I mean
Out of context
Did me
I mean she lied to me
She bought me a pair of shoes
White
She'll do a white Adidas
Put them on
I was in the street
And someone went
Lad they've got four stripes on
And they were Ador
Oh
So they got literally thrown at me nan
And I was like
So you know what she did
She bought me K-Swiss tongue twisters
To say sorry K-Swiss was sick back in the day K-Swiss tongue twisters to say sorry
K-Swiss was sick
back in the day
K-Swiss tongue twisters
were fire
yeah
everyone had K-Swiss
all black for school
for a while
in our school
it was like a thing
you weren't allowed
to wear trainees
but there was
no it was Stan Smith
it wasn't K-Swiss
they were for a bit
and then Stan Smith
came in and they
took over the game
but you weren't allowed
to wear trainers
but like everyone would
try and get away
with wearing all
black trainers
so there were certain
ones that you could
get away with
there was Prada
for a while
weren't there
and then they
banned Prada
because Prada
came out with like
black trainer like
shoes
which were
defo shoes
because they were
Prada
they're not a sports
brand really
they're designer
so everyone
everyone was wearing like no you can't chuck me out of the class miss they're were Prada. They're not a sports brand, really. They're designer. So everyone was wearing like,
no, you can't took me out of the classmates.
They're fucking Prada.
They're Gucci, you bellend.
But then everyone was getting black.
I had a black pair of Prada webs.
And then everyone in school was like,
if you didn't have them on, you were getting bullied.
He was like, what the fuck are you doing here
with your fucking kickers, lad?
I'm not a big fan.
I'm not a big fan. I've, lad? I'm not a big fan. A fan. I'm not a big fan.
I've said it.
I'm not a big fan of the all-black trainers.
I think you might as well be like,
I'm a Scully Ninja.
I just don't.
Yeah, but for school.
My shoes are the Batmobile.
I think you look like a fucking nonce.
You can't keep me Coming in your night
But it's better for school
Than wearing like
Shit flickers
If you wore
Reebok classics
No one would go near you
Because you were hard
They would like your heart
Black Reebok classics
But
The best shoes
To play fussy in
When you were a kid
Were flat
Fussed kickers
The fucking
Absolute power
You could get
With a flat
Do you know what I'm,
do you know the shoes I'm talking about?
Like the,
if you hit that,
if you hit a ball with your non-existent laces
with those shoes on,
it was like Adriano on Pro Evolution 2003.
It was just an absolutely unstoppable shot.
Like a towie with rock portals.
Yes!
Our school.
With a bowler.
Mate, our school.
I can't believe you even got anywhere near anything that looked like a trainer.
They were like fucking mental about that our school.
Stan Smith's were good for that.
Leather shoes, like Clarks.
If you were hard, you had Rockport.
Yeah.
Pods.
Do you remember pods?
Yeah.
You got pushed in a bin if you wore pods.
No one looked good in
pub hello i'm wearing pods you're like oh someone didn't spend the extra dollar see they were all
black stan smiths you'd have got they're basically that just the pumps that little girls wear for
gymnastics but with laces on them but no the fucking product you will not have been allowed
to wear them they're not proud of their adidas that that you can't go anywhere near that at
school that our school we got away with them, didn't we?
Yeah, I absolutely miss.
Oh, when you feel for the kids when they're just...
You know when people are like, parents are like,
and we don't do brands,
and we're just having nothing to do with it.
You're like, I don't want to be one of them guys
like, he's got to have everything,
just to fucking, you know, rock poor,
he's having a fucking lovely watch,
you know, like, I'm not, like, you don't do that.
But the parents were like, I just don't buy into it. And, you know, they'll get through it. You're like, not like you don't do that but the parents were like i just don't buy
into it and you know they'll get through it you're like oh you don't know it's hard going to school
with shit clobber in it and you're like oh god i got fucking awful i got really lucky with that as
a kid because we were always fucking skints like we had no money whatsoever but my auntie knew a
guy who got loads of blackag stuff so I always had
Armani stuff
Hugo Boss
Adidas
they weren't real
but they fucking
looked real
how much did they
cost Adam
it'd be like
8 quid for the t-shirt
no but what was
your famous saying
what do you mean
remember
I love it how he knows
this period of history
220 or something
no that was real
oh was it
that was real
I bought
my mum bought me a full outfit one year she had like You were 20 or something. No, that was real. Oh, was it? That was real. I bought...
My mum bought me a full outfit one year.
She had, like...
I just literally saw you in my head
walking into school with an all-white Prada suit,
like, yeah.
Turns out year seven's going to be a motherfucker.
My mum, like, I was about to say come into some money.
I don't think she come...
I think she won, like, a grand on a scratch card or something.
I don't think she, in. I think she won like a grand on a scratch card or something. I don't think she like came into money.
Fucking life changing.
This for us kids.
But like my mum, her life was her kids, just me and our Jack.
So she won that and she was like, right, I'm going to treat you.
She's got 500 quid each and we're going to go and get you some nice clothes.
And I was like, I'm spending all of it on one fucking thing.
I didn't quite do that.
and I was like, I'm spending all of it on one fucking thing.
I didn't quite do that.
But she took me to Hugo Boss in the Met Quarter and I got a pair of Hugo Boss combat pants,
a Hugo Boss t-shirt,
and a lovely Hugo Boss zip-up jacket.
And it was 260 quid, right?
And then on our own close day in school,
I wore that whole outfit to school.
And my mates were like,
who the fuck do you think you are wearing?
All Hugo Boss?
And I went, fuck off.
Like, it was 260 quid, this.
And my nickname for three,
and I know I had a lot of these,
and they're all real.
My nickname for like three years was 260.
Like, I would just be walking down the corridor,
and you'd just hear me make Josh go,
260!
260!
260!
260!
I don't want no more! 260! Mate, you had so me make Josh go, 260! 260! 260! I don't want no more!
260!
Mate, you had so many nicknames.
People had to keep a little file of facts
of like, we're going to rip rope.
You were not low visibility at your school.
Hang on, what should we call him today?
We did 260 last week.
I want no more.
Yeah, we did that yesterday.
That was real gear.
That was genuinely 260 grand.
The visual of that is you're an Albanian cocaine dealer.
Just in sliders, like, what do you want?
Fucking.
There was loads of black stuff.
Do you know the way we used to, like,
Lacoste trackies were big when I was a little kid.
Like, between, like, the ages of, like, four and maybe, like, 12.
Am I right, you reckon?
Yeah.
Like, you had to have a Lacoste trackie,
and you would get it from St. John's Market,
and there was a way that people tested whether a Lacoste trackie and you would get it from St John's Market and there was a way that people tested
whether your Lacoste trackie
was real
I just want you to see
whether you can guess
what the test
for a real Lacoste trackie was
you know the
you know what Lacoste is
you know the brand
yeah the little crocodile
so how do you think
like people would come up to you
and inspect your trackie
and there was a way
they would be able to tell
whether your trackie
was real
now look at him
is it something to do
with trying to scratch
the crocodile off
no
go on
count how many teeth
the crocodile had
oh
I knew
I knew it was the crocodile
pin him down
pin him down
get the fucking
magnifying glass
how many teeth
was real
I think like
four
six or something
ah you fucking
five teeth nonsense
yeah exactly
but that was like
the equivalent of
having three stripes
on you
do you know
the strainers
do you know what I mean
you have to have
the right amount
of crackle out teeth
it's so true
it's so true
how much would you love
if you
I'd love a picture
of him in the full
Hugo Boss
fucking cocaine dealer
I've probably got it somewhere
oh god that would be beautiful just if that was your profile picture for one day i've definitely
got a picture of me and me lacoste definitely remember getting my first adidas shell suit
and thinking i was a fucking ball telly's a wool sometimes can't you no shell suit was
scouse as fuck just before that's a tracky tell no it was called a shell suit was scouse as fuck just before our time. It's a trackie. No, it was called a shell suit, wasn't it?
Yeah, but I've never used that term in my life.
You've never bought one?
Yeah, the only thing is with trackies,
everyone had trackies and trackie bottoms,
but they did get called shell suits
because they were a different feel.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When you say trackie, you mean like this, don't you?
No, no, no.
When I mean trackie, I mean like that.
So what do you mean by a shell suit?
Shell suits came out and they were this weird, like, papery fucking material.
That's why they got called shell suits.
Right, okay.
That's a tracky.
Like, mate, I've got some pictures for you.
But this is tracky as well, isn't it?
If you had a pair of pants in this, that's a tracky.
Tracky bottoms.
Tracky bottoms, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, like, tracky in my head is track suit.
Yeah.
So that literally is a tracksuit
yeah
when shell suits came out
the fucking
it was around like
World Cup 1990
where England
oh that fucking kit
is still one of my favourites
ever
how old were you then
you weren't born
yeah
I get it
the fucking
tell us about it
granddad Daniel
oh it's a different time
Peter Shilton
was in code
Mark
send it back
you were super young then
no
you were like
year 9 or something
I was 28
28
love gonna move
I love that
fucking
that was my first memory
of that world cup
and
this sounds like I'm trying to link it back,
but it absolutely is not bullshit.
My first memory of that World Cup is Cameroon.
I think they played Argentina in the opening game in the San Siro.
I cannot remember football before this.
I think maybe I've got some weird memories of like the 1989 Cup final,
which I think was Everton-Liverpool.
Was that 87? I've got some blurry memories but my actual first memory is maradona's argentina in the san siro
which is inter and ac san siro playing uh cameroon and they had a lad called roger miller and he did
the fucking little dance like if i won money and you know you're talking about like what you do
with money and people like like I'm buying property
I would go on eBay
and start buying
fucking bare
1990 World Cup Adidas kits
and I think that's why
I'm an Adidas man
that fucking Adidas Argentina kit
was so cool
I love all that
the Adidas Holland kit
from two years before
do you know
the last World Cup
when was the last World Cup
two years ago
two years ago.
Me and him went to London, right?
Russia, all fair and above board.
So he bought, you know, the last Nigeria kit.
Do you remember the hype about it?
Yes, cool.
So he got it from some black website, didn't you?
What's it called?
DHgate.
Yeah, there's some website from China. You can get any footy kit for like seven quid.
Yeah, and you see the adverts
and for some reason it's slightly pixelated
over the Nike logo.
You're like, what's that on my laptop?
It looks legit in person though, doesn't it?
I mean, footy tops are dead cheap off there.
That kit was like, that top was so in demand.
It was like 200 pound for the top,
if you were lucky.
And I got it, basically replica for seven quid. It was like a hipster. top if you were lucky and i got it basically replica
for seven quid it was like a hipster yeah he's a bit hipster but he was wearing it as we were
walking around london and i reckon we were there for two days weren't me yeah i reckon well into
double figures in central london where as you all know no one fucking talks to anyone you look at
the floor you get on the tube you open the paper you get off and you go home how many Nigerian
or black people
just stopped you
and were like
can I get a selfie
with you
in that kit
10 to 15
we get 100 yards
down Oxford Road

I do not give a fuck
about you in any way.
I want a picture
of a white man
wearing this top.
I am going to send it.
They were asking him
where he got it from.
I did an interview.
Remember?
Yeah.
So how do you think
Nigeria are going to do
in the World Cup?
I'm sorry.
Some black fella

watching the semis and they lost so sorry sorry about that, everyone. That was partly my fault.
Should have just kept to the boycott.

Why?
Because it's fucking horrible.
I know it's horrible, but if you don't watch it,
doesn't that mean all the people who've died building the stadiums

to somewhere that's
batshit warm in June and July,
and you're like, oh, no, it's fucking weird.
I've got my Christmas due on Tuesday.
It's the semi-finals.
I've got to finish my...
How mentally is it going to be going?
I've got to finish the Christmas shopping.
The World Cup finals on fucking the 24th.
Disgusting.
Who's in the semis?
Well, it's China versus...
It's China versus Russia It's China versus Russia
versus the China B team
versus Shell BP.
What the fuck?
I hate it.
I can't wait, mate.
Hi, Vlad.
How you doing, mate?
I really went in hard there.
See, I hate international footy
because it breaks up the Premier League season.
And I hate the friendlies
and I hate the qualifiers.
The World Cup's sick.
I don't boycott anything, though.
Like, I know I should, but it's just effort, innit?
I boycott the sun and that's it.
Yeah, to be fair, though,
that did time well with me getting a bit pissed off
with watching England after 25 years of being like,
meh.
It wasn't just Russia.
I was getting a bit sick.
Like, if the NFL got sponsored by fucking Voldemort,
I'd be like, well, do you know what I mean?
It's very entertaining.
I was like, it is partly because I was getting pissed off with it,
but I'm not into Qatar.
So when you were a kid, did you wear labels and shit?
Yeah, I had my shell suits.
What was it?
Adidas, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I used to get all sorts of them
because my auntie would sell these T-shirts
for like 10, 12 quid
and I'd get them for like a bit of discount.
Where was she getting them from?
A man.
A man.
His name was John.
Your mum or your nan?
My auntie.
Your auntie.
My dad's sister.
My auntie Maisie.
Now.
My auntie Carol did it as well
and there was a bit of beef between both of them
because they were like rivals
in the illegal shirt game.
I'm just going to be very careful.
I'm just going to be very careful.
Okay.
Because I know where a lot
of our listenership is
and I've got a lot of love
for anyone with a purple bin.
But not everyone's auntie
had a connection
with stolen counterfeit property.
Oh, of course,
because then my auntie
wouldn't be able to sell all these T-shirts.
If everyone's auntie did that.
What, so she was the only one in Liverpool doing it?
There was two in Dovecote and they were both my aunties.
Carl and Maisie.
Right.
Yeah.
That's like really homely.
Like, come on, gather round.
Yeah.
They sold fake ciggies.
It's a family birthday.
Move the boxes.
Fake ciggies, fake DVDs.
But then I took over
the DVD games
they were like
let's leave that
they passed it on to me
family business and all
but then they kept
selling the
like you get trackies
you'd get t-shirts
but you get them
like super cheap
like I did this
for like six quid
t-shirt
yeah is that what
you got for every present
like he's asked
for a Skeletrix
can't do fucking
Skeletrix
but I can do a
lovely fucking look at I can do a lovely
fucking
look at that
fake watches
that's a lovely watch that
like
shoe blot
they do Siggy runs
to France and Spain
come back with a load of them
I did
I know you want a fucking
mountain bike
but I have 200
embassy I do
fucking hell
you are an embassy lad
no look
hey Maisie!
Get the regal king size out!
Yeah?
It'd be three quid for a pack of 20.
Or 250 if you're a family.
What?
Three quid for a pack of 20?
Yeah.
Or £2.50 if you're a family.
If you're in your family?
Yeah.
I thought you meant, like,
you're doing family cigs.
How rough was Dovecart? Right, honestly, we're going to Chipay and then we're doing family cigs how rough was Dovecot
right honestly
we're going to Chipie
and then we're doing
the family fag run
what's the baby on
super king
lights
not an animal
Jesus Christ
yeah
you get the
do you know what's really funny
this is 100% true as well
and I hate like
leaning into any
scouse stereotypes
but
a few years ago
that's so common
in Liverpool
that someone
sells like
jarg
fake gear
right
around Christmas
jarg
wow
what does that mean
fake
jarg
yeah jarg
it's jarg
jarg
do you know
the history
linguist
do you know
jargon
maybe like jargon
alright cool
like bullshit
let's bullshit that
I like it
jargon either
yeah
but it's so common
and like around Christmas time
if you walk around
with people sitting
in your hands
doing a bit of shopping
you'll get stopped
by people on the street
sometimes going
do you want to buy any stuff
I've got t-shirts
I'm not lying am I
no no
it's robbed as well though
well that's what
one lad said to me
he stopped me
he went do you want to buy
any of these t-shirts I don't think so lad and he went though. Well, that's what one lad said to me. He stopped me. He went, do you want to buy any of these T-shirts, lad?
And I went, I don't think so, lad.
And he went, don't worry, lad.
It's not jag.
Genuinely robbed.
Oh, that's fucking great.
Don't fucking you dare look at me.
This isn't fucking jag shit.
Fucking nick these meself.
I'm a fucking thief and I'm proud
I'm not a fucking rat
I wouldn't rip anyone off
I'd steal from
I'd fucking rip you off lad
Walk around the corner
there's a fucking lad crying
I'd fucking nick them off him
What am I?
I've got fucking morals
So funny It's so true What am I? I've got fucking models.
So funny.
It's so true.
Fucking camo, eh?
Ruiners.
Anyway, that was fun.
I honestly... I've done a fart there, by the way,
and I apologise because it's absolutely destructive.
Oh, come on.
I'm sorry.
Come on.
How have you not done that till this point
what do you mean
you've not been very
Trumpy
is that out of respect
well sometimes
I do it
but I like lean
like you'll see
if you watch the videos
I let it go that way
so it just disappears
off into the
well it just
stage left
you give it a bit of a push
don't you
so it's
it's trying to go that way
you know what I mean
it's forced
but then it just popped out and I've just smelled.
I've had a lot of cheese this week.
We've just been to Nando's.
We had a bit of perronnays.
A lot of cheese, lad.
I had a bit of perronnays and it doesn't really agree with me.
And I'm really sorry, but it's absolutely potent.
Right, let's have a break.
And I'm just going to have a little walk outside and a word with Jesus.
Oh, that's more offensive
than camo.
We're having a break.

football based
dead football based
well to be fair

I'm always thinking
about stuff like
Jilly Bean in Texas

would she

she probably knows more about
Liverpool culture
I would love it if Texas Julie Bean has ever just walked around
Houston and someone acts like a Bella

Wow me.
Who are we doing on the way here?
Mark Morrison.
Return of the Mark.
I can't do it with his face.
Let me just lower that.
He's trying to read what's coming up and concentrate.
It's so funny.
I'm not trying to read anything.
Go on, go on, go on.
I just want you to totally focus for this.
It's all...
He's gone now.
I'm not coming back, you know.
You liar. No, he's good. Let him do it. I'm not coming back, you know. Yalla.
No, he's good.
Let him do it.

Jukebox
Phenomenal
What have you got Last night Human jukebox. Phenomenal.
What have you got?
Last night.
Shall I tell them?
So me and Carl had the same driving instructor.
His name's John.
I won't tell you the certain name because it's not fair.
But he was fucking mental.
Like he was... How old?
Oh, like your age.
Early 50s.
No, he was.
You said your age.
You're fucking pissing me off.
I know that just happened accidentally,
but I'm not happy about that.
Don't team up on me.
You're meant to be...
You're meant to be like a...
You're meant to be an independent adjudicator on this
yeah
how old are you at age 50
that wasn't planned at all
I remember sitting my first child down on my knee
and saying
it's the world cup 1990
so he was mental
so genuinely
he had like all these little weird quirks
so before he told you to do anything, he would say,
Okay.
Right?
So he'd go, Okay.
Now just interface there.
Just put that interface.
And his breath.
Where was he from?
Liverpool?
No.
His breath stunk.
Oh, dad breath.
No, it was like he'd been chewing shit all afternoon.
Yes, dad breath.
Oh, so. Okay was like he'd been chewing shit all afternoon. Yeah, it's dad breath. Ugh.
So...
Ooh!
Key.
And he had...
By the way, so Carl was learning with him first,
and Carl put me onto him,
because he was like,
should I get John, lad?
John's great.
And then, like, three lessons in, I went to him.
He did not breath, and he went,
yeah, I don't know,
but I want someone to talk about it with.
That's beautifully done.
And he also did it with his other mate, Alex.
The exact same thing.
And all three of us learned with John.
Right?
Mental.
So you passed it on to Alex.
You're like, well, let's have a third person in the group chat.
No, I didn't know.
He'd done it with me and Alex at like the same time.
Oh, I was sowing the cunty seed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's clever, isn't it?
So, you know when you do your emergency stop?
Yeah.
Right?
This is 100% true as well.
So, he'd go, right, just there.
Blast us.
That was his other favourite thing.
Blast us down the road.
You know, like a traffic light.
It's a weird turn of phrase, innit?
Yeah, he'd be like, right, you've got a queue behind you, dear.
Oh, okay.
So, you want to make sure you get off nice and quickly
because these
you know these
experienced drivers
they might be getting
somewhere so you
don't want to be
holding people up
that's what people
don't like ladies
for so you just
want to like just
blast us down the
road as fast as
you can like john
i'm doing 30 it's a
30 no blast us keep
blasting us down the
road come on me
t's on
it was fucking
mental
the emergency stop
was the worst one
wasn't it
so
he'd go
right
so you want to just get up
he takes like this country lane
and he'd go
you want to get yourself up
to like 50, 60 miles an hour
in here
and then as I tap me
hand on the thing
I want you to just
stop the car
hang on
hang on
he didn't mean
you're doing an emergency stop
from 50, 60 miles an hour
he fucking did
oh he did
you're meant to do
I'm not even this sounds like I'm trying to do Oh, he did. You're meant to do an emergency...
I'm not even...
This sounds like I'm trying to do shtick.
Emergency stops are just meant to be at, like,
a leisurely 30 miles an hour.
This was a country road in Knowsley, wasn't it?
He would put all the possessions and, like,
a safe in the car,
otherwise they would projectile.
I'm not making...
I swear to God,
you can press that if you need to,
but this is not bullshit.
Fuck me. So we'd go, right, you want to go to, like, 50, 60 miles an hour, I swear to God, you can press that if you need to, but this is not bullshit. Fuck.
So we'd go,
you want to go to like 50,
60 miles an hour,
I will tap my hand on it,
that's what I want you to bring the car
to a sudden stop
as fast as you possibly can.
Right?
And the first time he did it,
and he did this with all three of us,
and we all independently told each other about it,
because the first time you do
an emergency stop,
you don't do an emergency,
because you're scared,
aren't you?
You don't want to like send yourself through
the fucking windscreen.
So we stopped it quite quick
and he'd go,
okay,
how do you think that went?
And we're like,
John,
I don't know mate
because I've never done one before.
With every single one of us
because obviously
the scenario
with an emergency stop is,
I want you to just
stop the car
as if a child has passed out
in front of the car
and stepped off the curb
and is in your way.
He goes,
so how do you think that went?
I said, I don't know, John.
Never done this before.
He goes, kid's dead.
I love it how that, how do you think that went?
They said, child dead.
That's him.
Put it in first.
We're going to blast off from here.
That would be better though, wouldn't it?
Because that's like, look, if you do that,
you've killed a child and you don't want to do that.
I'm trying to teach you stuff.
Kid's dead.
He'd do that with his hands.
Kid's dead.
You're happy.
Fucking dead kids everywhere.
You've run over 10 kids and they're all dead.
But he didn't shout.
He just, yeah.
Could you imagine if you were doing 55 miles an hour?
He'd be like,
What was the other thing
I'll get out of here
oh
you made a mistake
so if you made a mistake
while you were driving
like a bad one
like if you went from like
like third into second
instead of going into fourth
or something
he'd go right
you know what's going to happen
on your driving test
you do that
the examiner
is going to go
pull over here i'm getting out
and he made out like it cost you like thousands of pounds to test like 70 quid or something isn't
it and you have to wait like a week to do it again or like two weeks you have to do a few
lessons before you can take it as again so it's like if you did on your test he's going to say
to you just pull over here please mate because i'm getting out it's going to if you did on your test, he's going to say to you, just pull over here, please, mate, because I'm getting out. It's going to cost you, you know, sign me a check there for four or five grand.
I'm going to get off.
I'll see you in six months.
Who's the test guy getting a fucking Uber with?
It's four or five grand.
How did he work that one out?
It's just to scare you.
Yeah.
Right.
I'm getting out of here.
You can wait for your driving instructor.
I'm going to take this four and five I'm going to go on
Holiday with her
It was fucking crazy
And last night
Carl found
John's
Driving skills
Page
On a website
Where you can
Leave reviews
Oh
Jesus
So like
I'll say this
Disclaimer
They're now down
They were up for 10 seconds in the screenshot.
It was just for us two.
And also, we gave him five stars for everything.
So, if anything, they were positive.
We weren't, like, trying to ruin his business.
We were just having a laugh.
But, so, Carl was like, look, you can leave a review.
So, I left a review, but in his name.
Right.
So, what did I say?
I'll read it out.
So, from Carl Regler
on his thing
I was recommended
John by his
no no no
not that one
the first one I did
wait on that one
so the first one I did
which is the video
I said
blast us down the road
slam on
kids dead
I'm getting out of here
that'll be 300 grand
please see you in 25 years
full name Carl Regler
Carl's postcode and Carl's email right and he was like do you think that was fucking smart I'm getting out of here. That'll be 300 grand, please. See you in 25 years. Full name, Carl Regler.
Carl's postcode and Carl's email.
And he was like,
do you think that was fucking smart?
What do you think I'm going to do back?
So then he did one back, which was... The second one.
It was amended, wasn't it?
You said something like,
he put it under Adam Rowe.
So it said,
John would always insist that I wear a helmet during lessons.
He would also blast
Ja Rule
for the entirety
of the hour
and rap along
while shouting
at women out the window.
It's funny
because of Ja Rule.
But,
we would always go
through the drive-thru
at the end
and he actually still owes me
seven pound
for that fillet-o-fish.
So,
whenever you can get
Ja Rule
and a fillet-o of fish in a review,
you know you're having a great day.
We made sure we gave it five stars, but I was like,
no, you need to leave it, because you can't delete them on this website.
Once you've left the review, the review's there, but you can't edit them.
Right.
So, he'd done that, but he'd put my email in.
So, I had to go to my email to confirm, like, log in to confirm your review.
So, I did.
But then I edited it.
So I left it at the photo which he put up,
which is just a picture of Chris Akabusi smiling.
That's the picture he used to accompany the review.
And I just changed it to,
it's so subtle.
I think this might be the funniest thing I've ever done.
I was recommended John by his former student, Carl regler who has sadly since passed away and then i did the jar rule philato fish yeah on it and now so you think
he's turning in he's like you're releasing you in a knobhead yeah yeah yeah like last night my
bird tried to tell me about a book she's reading and I was just like This isn't fucking stupid enough for me
I can't listen to it
So basically
You've gone from
Us being nonas
On the podcast
Now with Carl
And then you're doing
A sort of
Like
Have a word extra
Constantly with Carl
In your life
I literally said that
To him in the car
I went
We're spending so much time together
I feel like I'm always
Doing the podcast
I
One of my questions Just before you, I feel like I'm always doing the podcast.
One of my questions just before you said,
I was like, how's Jade?
Is she alright?
Because I'm getting it all out with him.
I'm quite dull at home at the minute.
I'm just a bore,
I'm just like on my phone,
I just need to not use my brain for a bit,
because I'm using it all day trying to ruin his life.
That's how Jade likes you. Just sit there.
Sit there and don't get angry about stuff.
I lean into it though.
I try to chat shit.
Yeah.
A lot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
With him?
Yeah,
I enjoy saying
the stupidest thing possible
in the most sincere voice
to see how he reacts.
I wonder where you get that from, Adam.
Like,
what did I say tonight, Adam?
We were listening
to the Hamilton soundtrack.
Oh, God. I was just fucking I say to you tonight, Adam? We were listening to the Hamilton soundtrack. Oh, God.
I was just fucking obsessed with it.
No, is he?
He makes me not want to watch it.
Even though it's so popular
and people go,
it's incredible.
I feel like going,
oh, it's like when someone's like,
oh, it's amazing.
You're like,
even though I'm losing out
by not watching Hamilton.
Just watch it
and stop being gimps.
He's a fucking idiot, by the way.
Do you know what he said?
We were listening to Hamilton,
one of the best musicals of all time, objectively.
This is about all musicals, though.
And he went, the thing that annoys me about musicals is
they could just say it.
Can you make me a cup of tea?
It's like, can I just say,
I'm not just trying to be an antagonist.
That is the critique of musicals
that is the same as you going,
fucking modern arts bullshit.
Just do a good painting.
It's like, if you're into art,
what you said about art that day,
if you're into musicals,
that's like, it's not the point.
It's musical theatre.
So this is the public episode,
so we should qualify that.
On one of the Patreon episodes,
which if you haven't signed up to Patreon yet,
you are missing out because it's the best shit.
Patreon.com slash have a word pod.
Come and join the team.
We were talking about Dan's into modern art,
and I think it's wank.
So at some point,
we're going to go to a modern art gallery
and they're going to video me sort of reviewing it.
And we might at some point in the next week or two,
Carl might bring some pictures in of modern art
or you might as well.
And you want me to review it and we'll slide them in to the episode.
If you want to listen to that episode
and get all the extras of being a patron,
patreon.com slash have a word pod
from as little as three pounds a month.
Genuinely.
So we've recorded a little ad there for this,
but while it's come up,
we might as well sort of plug it as well.
The Patreon that we do,
you might have heard,
if you listen to a lot of podcasts,
or maybe you don't,
maybe this is the only one you're into.
Patreon is like a,
you can become a paid member
and you get like little extras.
Now, a lot of the other podcasts in the UK
and even in America, they'll do like, oh, if can become a paid member and you get like little extras. Now, a lot of the other podcasts in the UK and even in America,
they'll do like, oh, if you become a Patreon for five or ten pound a month,
then you'll get a day's early access to the episodes
and you'll get like a live Q&A on Instagram with us every month
that no one else gets access to, some shit like that.
Our Patreon starts at three quid.
And from three quid a month month you get an extra episode every week
that no one else ever gets
it's only on Patreon
and you also get at least 24 hours early access
to all these public ones
so
also it's like an hour
an hour and a half of podcast
we're not just knocking
initially we were like
we'll just maybe do 45 minutes
it's like an hour and 20 minutes
an hour and a half
it's a wonderful episode
regularly yeah
you get like direct access to us.
The extra Patreon episode becomes,
I mean,
it's intended to be a Q&A,
but we're going off on so many tangents.
We normally get through
four or five questions an episode
if we're lucky.
You get a direct line to us
to answer questions.
If you're not on Patreon with us yet,
you really are missing out.
Go and look at our Twitter.
Every tweet we get about Patreon
is always the best one of the week.
Patreon.com slash have a
weird pod. You get an extra episode every week.
You get 24 to 48 hours
early access to the public episodes.
You get discounts on merch. You get access to
live gigs we're doing before
anyone else does. So even if it's not a
have a weird event, if me and Dan are doing
a stand-up gig somewhere, we let our Patreons
know before we let the public know.
It's like a priority thing.
It's a fucking proper inside members club,
and you'll love it if you sign up.
Shall we do the competition for the hoodie while we're here,
while we're doing a little bit of all business?
I think so.
So a lot of people have been commenting
because me and Dan have got these orange hoodies.
Now, if you've been onto haveawaredpod.com,
you will have noticed that
you can buy some merch
you can buy a hoodie, you can buy a t-shirt
we have a mug, we've got some other stuff coming soon
we're dead excited about it, it's going to be really cool
but we only made three of these orange hoodies
there's only the one I've got
the one Dan's got and one spare
and for a while
we've been trying to figure out a way
to give away the uh
you're modelling it
yeah
it made me want to stop doing that
I did the tit jiggle and I thought you were going to be like
oh that's awful and you were like yeah
yeah you're never going to creep me out
we're trying to figure out a way to give
away like a competition or something
so now that we're trying to get
into the youtube market
and we want to grow the youtube channel because it gives us so many possibilities when we get a
lot of subscribers on youtube what we want to do is we're going to run a little competition
where you can win the third and final orange hoodie so at the minute it's it's one of three
i've got the other one dan's got the other one. Carl hasn't even got one.
Maybe we'll get him one in a few weeks.
But the... Oh, no. Maybe not.
We're going to do
a little competition. Do you remember what it is?
Yeah. We are going to
ask everyone
if you could go on YouTube,
subscribe, ring the bell,
take a screenshot of that,
but then also ask a friend to do it prove
it you need two screenshots and if you send that in to have a word pod at gmail.com no tweet either
email it or tweet us it um yeah so that's what you need to do you need to go to youtube.com
slash have a weird pod you need to subscribe to our YouTube channel you need to ring the bell on the YouTube channel.
All that ringing the bell does, it means when we put a video up,
you'll get a little notification on your phone or to your email going,
there's a new video from Have A Word.
Subscribe, ring the bell.
Oh, me pen's gone.
And text one of your mates going, hey, you should really get into this podcast.
Basically, we're looking for a way to grow the channel.
We're doing this competition because we want more subscribers
and more people ringing the bell.
And if you all do this, then not only will you win,
we're going to put everyone in a hat.
We'll pick one winner who wins the Orange Hoodie.
And also on top of that, you'll be given two free tickets
to any show you ever want to come to.
So let's say I'm doing a tour show in Liverpool.
You can come to that show.
If we're doing a big Have A Weird show, you can do that.
If Dan's doing a big tour show somewhere, you can come to that show. If we're doing a big Have A Word show, you can do that. If Dan's doing a big tour show somewhere,
you can go to that.
You can pick two tickets to any show
involving me, Dan, or both of us,
whenever you want,
as well as the orange hoodie.
How about that?

and tell a mate to do the same.

or to haveawordpod at gmail.com.
You'll go in the hat,
and in two weeks' time,
we'll draw the name out the hat.

Hello, everyone.
Welcome to the
Havawad podcast.
Oh, there we go.
Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Redmen TV.
I'm Chris Paget. This is the Star 11 Prediction Show.
It's Liverpool versus Arsenal in the Community Shield this Saturday.
I'm not editing that out.
Jesus Christ, that was good, wasn't it?
How long have you been doing it?
Because we are not...
We're like...
I thought we had nine years.
Fucking... I'm trying to think of things the same way.
You sounded like a Liverpool Liverpoolian Like garage MC
That got such a rhythm to it
Like
I was like
Fucking hell he's spitting bars
Thanks for coming in
We've got
Paul and Chris here
From the Redmen TV
Now if you've been following me
For a while
You've probably
Like a lot of my followers
Have come from
Especially me footy followers
Have come from doing your channel
Sorry about that
How long have you been doing your channel. Sorry about that.
How long have you been doing the Redmen?
10 years.
So the Redmen TV is a Liverpool Football Club fan channel.
Yeah.
10 years.
Yeah, 10 years on YouTube.
It's like 13, I think, since I was like,
Chris, I've got this hand-painted banner that we've done.
Do you want to come and stand in the street? We're going to be doing this show soon.
Do you want to take a photograph with it
not really Paul
but like we're here
and we've got it
and you've made your wife
make the banner
yeah yeah yeah
so yeah it's been
it's been an idea
for about 13 or 14 years
but it's been on YouTube
we've been actively
making content for a decade
which is
imagine if we get a decade in
that's what we said
the other day
we want to do 10 years
it won't be like
failure with numbers
one
someone will have been
like assaulted or murdered
that's how it'll be won't it it'll be like a fucking what. Someone will have been assaulted or murdered.
That's how it'll be, won't it?
It'll be like a fucking... What are you planning?
It'll be one nonce too many.
It'll be death by passive aggression.
No, but he doesn't function like that.
He goes, no, you're fucking wrong, you lid.
And you're like, ah-ha.
We've had that conversation a lot
because we've both tried to start podcasts
with other comedians in the past
and we won't mention any names but it gets a little bit because comedy is such a singular
solo thing like when you're involved with someone else it gets a little bit i'm not sure we should
do it that i think i was just thinking like let's not say no but like let's just have a look at
other it gets a little bit passive like that i can't i don't function like that so if he does something or goes we're gonna do this and i think it's
shit i go i don't think that's gonna work you know i think that's shite what about this instead
and i get annoyed because i think the subtext so i'm like you know what he said that and i'm just
fucking i just really feel like and then you read it again you're like oh he's just told me what he
wants like it's almost i'm just used to a my wife and then also bitchy mates in comedy and adam's just like no i said that i don't like that and i
like that it's really simple there's something admirable and horrible about people like you
is this rude is this efficient and rude i i know to be more delicate with people like in general
certainly in real life.
But, like, with people who know me well,
like him and me,
I'm like, no, we're not doing that.
I hate it.
So why would we?
That's like love on the spectrum
or one of those dating shows
where someone's, like, on the spectrum.
Like, I know now to read emotions
from people's faces.
I do think that there's a bit of autism
going on somewhere.
You're struggling with the masks
what do you mean
just hiding everyone's emotions
I can't wear them
I can't wear them
so
have I offended someone
did they need to file
there's no way of you
knowing anymore
is there
oh is that what you were saying
like I'm struggling with people's
no I don't care
I don't know
no one has trouble with that
he's got very expressive eyebrows
you've got to though
haven't
you i i'm a natural i like i like smiling i like you know i like i like to have interaction with
people you hate it you know i hate the general public but i love it like and i and i it annoys
me that i'm like it hurts to try and convey that you're pleased with what someone's done for you
now gonna make sure it's all in the eyes these days. But the scowl, the scowl of like, what the fuck are you doing?
It's the same eyes as,
oh,
that's really funny.
So when you,
you know,
they were vastly different.
You know,
I don't think you've ever seen your face do both.
I think that's a cum face.
Just,
just what it looked like I'm being racist in chat like.
Do you have like a cum face?
You mentioned that was your cum face.
Do you know like what your face does?
I wasn't ready for that left turn.
I know like we were doing that
and then all of a sudden,
do I have a cum face?
He said that was a cum face
and then I don't think
I've ever asked you that question.
Do you like,
are you conscious of what you're doing?
I'm just so grateful.
That's still fucking amazing.
Thanks, darling.
You should follow with a thumbs up.
Ah, the 2019 bunk.
Yeah, no, I don't know. I've never, who's taking a selfie at that point let's make some porn why is the camera on you dad everyone's had sex in front of a mirror
yeah have your eyes open at the moment of i know me toes kill i'll fucking tell you that for free
like beetles like beetles
like a crab wicked witch of the west.
Have you got a mirror next to your bed?
I know I've only just met you.
Yes.
For drinking?
Not for shagging.
It's for,
I think it's for air to get a face ready.
But you clock yourself.
Well,
there have been times you can't help it.
Have you not got a mirror in the bedroom?
Yeah,
we've got one on the ceiling.
So my wife can see my fat, hairy back. You've said that like I'm the dickhead though. We've got one on the ceiling so my wife can see my fat hairy back you've said that like i'm
the dickhead though we've got you got a minute in the bedroom everyone's got a mirror in the
bedroom what are you saying no i mean you're not a fucking vampire like you can't see yourself
anyway all right hang on when you say mirror for shagging in my head it's one of them fucking
eyes wide shut things it's the side of the room someone said mirror for shagging in my head it's one of them fucking eyes wide shut things it's the side
of the room someone said mirror for shagging no one said mirror for shagging no one said
the mirror's there for shagging that was literally in your head you can position it such that you can
you know dry your hair and put your face on and also for yourself during intercourse then
just one of those face ones tilt like a little just trying to get an angle we're making it sound like jay i'm a little weak like yeah i don't want to see anyone shagging see we've got
a mirror and i tell you what right here's what it does for your ego it really does just chop you
down a bit because like when you are shagging and you catch a little glimpse because when you know
it's there like when you're getting into it you're not thinking there's a mirror there
but then like
out your peripheral
or something
you'll catch
oh there's a mirror
you can't know
there's a mirror there
and not have a look
you just can't
right
so like
if you've ever filmed
yourself having sex
which I've done
on very very very
few occasions
it's from one angle
innit
what
have you never
what
how is she never
talked about this
how have you never talked about that have you never made a little home is she never going to talk about this?
Have you never talked about that?
Have you never made a little home?
I thought that was what the Patreon was.
Us banging on that couch.
We wiped it down.
In your head, you are a porn star, aren't you?
Do you know what I mean?
Like when you're going on it.
You know like last week when you were talking about your threesome and you said like you were giving it death from behind.
Like in your head, you were like an absolute god.
And if you looked in that mirror,
I'm telling you right now,
you'd feel a lot different about what happened that afternoon.
Can I give you a good example of that?
It's like playing footy.
And we had a couple of games on YouTube.
So we played some of the big YouTube football sides
and I was in goal.
And I made a couple of good saves in there.
I remember people saying, that was amazing.
What is it? And in the pub, it's couple of good saves in there and I remember people saying that was amazing what is it
and in the pub
it's amazing
people go
oh you remember it
differently
and I was like
don't get too hyped
up about it
because when you
watch it back
it's not going to
look that impressive
because when you're
in it
and you do a good
moment in footy
you feel like
you are a professional
footballer
and I remember
a mate of mine
he played at
school level
and was okay
but I remember
reaching a point
with playing
and Amazing Man went
you're never going to be
a footballer mate
you're not going to be
a footballer
I was like what
really
but I can
when you watch it back
you're like
oh yeah that's not football
I never want to see a video
in your head you're fucking messy
I never want to see a video
of me attempting a step over
like occasionally
I'll do a step over
and it works
you get past someone
but you don't want to watch it
because it will just
like in real time it'll look slow motion won't it works, doesn't it? You get past someone, but you don't want to watch it because it will just, like, in real time,
it'll look slow motion, won't it?
So you've seen Neymar do so many step overs.
When you do it, you're like,
I'm pretty sure that was exactly the same.
Yeah, and the exact same as the video.
Because I've seen, what's the guy with the big dick called?
I've seen Carl in all the porn.
Like, you know, you see him and you're like,
it looks like what you think
you do
and you're there
like you've got
the rhythm and that
when in reality
you just look like
a sausage with a
with a
yeah
yeah when I do a step over
I look like somebody
who's a
a 16 stone woman
who's come out of town
and her fucking tits
are hanging about
and she's fucking
giving it all that
that's me doing a step over
in footy
yeah
what do you look like
when you're having sex
the same really
just without the bra
it's a weird role play
for your wife to ask for
like
now this is what I'm into
I want you to be
a 16 stone woman
with a Wilco's bag
I want you to look
like a failed trialist
I want you to look
like you're basically
a 40 year old alehouse centre-half
who turned up at the pub the night before
and said, I can play a bit,
and then get dropped in,
have a two-hours kip.
Is that possible for you to do that?
Yeah, yeah.
It's your natural game.
No, no, the mirrors in the bedroom thing,
if you've never thrown in a Patrick Bateman flexing
whilst looking at yourself in the mirror,
then you've just got to be human.
I mean
even me
who is
egotistical
cunt number one
I think you're
insane
number two
mate
right also
what he referenced
before was in
1999 I was
18
at that age
I'd have done
I'd have bonked
in the mirror
section of Ikea
I thought I was
beautiful
Phil Collins
banging out
like you know
smash every fucking mirror not to see my jiggly fat fucking form oh god i'd be just never
mind that if you're drunk though i've clocked it when you're drunk in the mirror and then you do
look like an absolute superstar i can't recommend it enough like if you're gonna have a drink get
more mirrors in have you ever had a wank in front of the mirror?
Inadvertently, like in a Holiday Inn,
because one of their whole walls is mirrored, isn't it?
And the first thing I do in a hotel is crack one out.
It's the first thing you do.
You have to mark your territory.
I'm like a dog.
So I just get in the bed completely naked.
I have me porn on full fucking volume.
You can't do that at home.
Even when she goes out for a walk or whatever,
you've still got neighbours. It's a dangerous game, isn't it?
You've still got neighbours.
You might have left
a window open in a hotel.
Who the fuck gives,
who gives a shit
who's in room 27
when you're in 28?
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I will shout.
I shout and everything.
I scream.
When you wank him.
It's my time.
I've fucking left.
And I'm talking.
I'm not even lying
I've said it to him
before
this is like
four minutes
after I've been
given my keycard
I've gone up in the lift
I'm in the fucking room
and I'm off to the races
six minutes later
I need to change
your room
I've been late for gigs
because I'm squeezing
in me
hotel christening
got a ritual
yeah
and then you do
there's a big mirror
and you have a look
and you know what?
Does it help?
I can't wait
if I have a word on tour.
Just give me a room
fucking miles away from him.
I do not want to be
in room 27
of season 28.
Would you like a joining room,
sirs?
Yeah,
I'm going to give that one
a miss, thanks.
And they have to come
out of the room
and there's like
a really upset looking
Scandinavian family
that have come to see
a Premier League game
and little Hans is like,
why?
Me and Carl went
on a ludge to Berlin and we had
like a wank rotor.
You're sharing a room?
Yeah.
This is for you, mate.
He'd made a wank rotor up in his head.
Whenever he goes to the toilet,
I'm having a wank. He'd go, go ahead,
go for a walk and I'd go for a little
ten minute walk, come back, tag him out and then he'd go for a walk and I'd go for a little ten minute walk come back
tag him out
and then he'd go for a walk
and I'd do my thing
you don't want to tag me
hey
your turn
what
lad come on
I know you've got like
a high five
on the way
I know you've got like
a public image
to keep up
but we're all mates
yeah tell the truth
did you think this would be
the first ten minutes
yeah
actually I
I've heard the podcast before i'm
surprised it took that long bit fucking pedestrian there oh god oh my god mirror fucking ceiling
mirrors though that's a full that's another level of pedo in it that's like i can't ever look like
no one looks good lay down like all your fat spilling out of the sides yeah do you know i mean
like gravity's not doing you any favor the only one who looks good on the mirror is the one who's on top and you
can't see that unless you've got an oled who's putting it up as well getting your dad around to
get fucking put the i reckon that you can probably pay for installation i'm not trusting i don't
think you need to get your dad up one of those ikea mirrors that's in three bits and it's got
like the adjoining bits and that was a fucking nightmare but i also know that if it falls down it's not gonna cut me in half right you know if
you put that on the ceiling like there's no way i'd have to get someone to be fair it's even worse
i'd have to get my mother-in-law because she does all my diy in the house you know honestly she does
she does she's unreal um my mother-in-law my mother-in-law she's very helpful she's handy she's a plumber
but you'd have to
but you wouldn't
I wouldn't trust myself
to put a ceiling
mirror up Jesus Christ
because you would
you'd wake up
and your wife's decapitated
because you've not put
the wall plugs in
probably
that sounds like
a schoolyard skipper
for like adults
your mother-in-law's a plumber
your mum does
your mother-in-law does
your DIY
is she really
the
how does that
how does that sit with you
you're a modern man
yeah
yeah
but
in many ways
therefore I'm not
because I'm making women
do all my work for me
yeah
yeah
but it's work
traditionally kept back from them
if anything
you're liberating
yeah
I think normally
he's just playing on his playstation
while all this is going on
I've given him too much credit
he's got the best people
for the job
you know what I mean
I've got my skills like
talking about fussy
talking about fussy
absolutely yeah
no therefore she's good at it
she likes doing it
I can't do flat pack
my wife Laura
does the flat pack
how can you
fuck flat pack up though
because of temper
just temper
you know like
the Ikea furniture
it all works
but if you fuck it up
and punch it it's done so she's got the patience she's like all works but if you fuck it up and punch it
it's done so she's got the patience she's like leave me be i'm doing it i'm taking a piss but
jade my missus does everything in our house i give her the money and then i go away because i know if
i try and help i'm a control freak so i'm either i'm either the foreman or i'm not helping right
i mean either you're listening to me or i'm just not getting involved. And then every now and then
she'll be like,
can you come and give me a hand with this?
And I go up
and the one little thing
she needs help with,
help me lift this,
move that over there.
I do that
and then I go away again.
And that's my little system
because I'm either doing everything
or fuck all.
Yeah.
Having done a podcast with you before,
I imagine you're not a load of fun
doing flat pack.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
We're not building it together. Either you're building it or I'm building it. fun doing flat pack jesus christ yeah we're not building it together either you're
building it or i'm never never build flat pack with a partner no ever stupid i mean my wife
is brilliant like my again similar to bringing the mother-in-law into diy other members of our
family bring her in to perform their flat pack oh really because she's boss at it but we've said
we've come to a point we realise this it took us too long
to realise this
it's just like
you're buying
a shelving unit
and a fight
that's what you're
paying your money for
you know
that's what we're paying
for
here we go
wow it's just
really cheap
well that's what
you're paying
the extra money
you're saving that
by having a big
massive phone
and then you've got
a mental association
like that's a nice
sideboard
yeah it is
and you're a bitch.
Like, it's all of the memories.
Yeah, it's a permanent reminder.
Like, most arguments disappear, don't they?
Because you don't have, like, an object
dedicated to that fight.
Yeah, we can't cook together either.
In fact, I'm trying to think of things we can do.
There's a win here, though.
You get a flat-packed bed,
you just have angry sex all the time.
Yeah.
Yeah?
Is that how it is?
That's what happens to you, that how is that and i'm thinking
about throwing our bed out to get one to be honest now it wasn't flat pack but now we should get one
we buy loads of furniture shagging all the time four grand a month do you and laura eat similar
things you said you can't cook together do you see like do you eat as a family do you have like
we'd have an rt and this is what we're having or she goes where it'll be ready in 20 minutes and
that's my window to sort me out.
And if we can make that work, then we eat together.
But very rarely does she cook something that I'm into.
Say like with Jade, because Jade like tries to be vegan slash veggie
slash whatever she's deciding she can be arsed with this week.
And I will occasionally go, I'm going to be nice.
I'll make a vegan curry.
Let's have a vegan curry instead.
But then most, even before she was vegg nice, I'll make a vegan curry. Let's have a vegan curry instead. But then most,
even before she was veggie,
we always struggled with this.
Because like,
she'll go,
we should eat together tonight.
I'm like,
sound art,
well,
do you want to make it?
No,
you make it.
And then she'll like try and,
it's the same thing.
I'm cooking,
and she's like trying to dictate to me.
Yeah.
What?
No,
you need a bit less garlic in that bit.
No,
I don't like that much garlic.
Well, then you fucking make the fucking dinner.
Either I'm making it for you or you're making it for me
or we're making it together.
And I could deal with that with cooking.
I could be like, let's make it together
and we'll both have an input.
But you're not fucking backseat driving my carbonara.
No, that's a classic comedian response.
This is my fucking set.
I'm putting it together.
Apart from when shut down re like a
week into the lock down he keeps getting we keep getting comments on like the videos and like that
because he keeps calling it the shutdown yeah yeah because we called our podcast the shutdown
daily right yeah i did for six months you're gang and not bad
the lock the lockdown daily
but during that
that's like you
you went with the
Betamax option day
like this is gonna
take off this
we're going with
shutdown
and everyone else
went lockdown
you're like
oh what are we doing
we're dying on this hill
we called it early
we just got the
wrong branding
but that meal
was alright
sitting down
like it became
more important
because what the
fuck else are you doing?
You're going for a walk maybe
at an eggy shop at Asda
and then the family meal
I quite enjoyed that
but when normal life is ticking over
Yeah, no, we've been like that the whole time
I gave up on the cooking in our house
because it just wasn't worth it
like my wife likes what she likes in food
she's gotten loads better at it
we both did Slimming Whale for a while
and like because she got into the cooking and all that so we had loads more
agreements on it and it worked but she used to be very particular so it'd be like i you know when
you get that you you you you cooked on your crisp properly when you want the you do for yourself but
you also there's a little part of you that wants the satisfaction someone's sitting down and going
oh that's lovely oh thanks very much if i did something that wasn't quite right i'd put it down and she'd be like i don't like that she's like you and i'd be like well fuck you
let me just say if i came to your house or if if my missus made me dinner and i didn't like it i
wouldn't be i'm not that much of a cunt i wouldn't be like put it in the bin I'm not like that like I will absolutely
be like
no babe this is lovely
I will play that
totally
I just mean if it's
something I'm involved in
I'm like
I don't like doing it that way
so I'll be up front
I'm not like
no this
fuck you peasant
no no no no
this is not good enough
for Master Ro
at all
no
but to back up
your girlfriend
if I see you doing
something wrong in the kitchen
I'm fucking telling you
like
well then fuck off
that's fucking wrong
you know what I mean
you're just doing that wrong
there's a right way
and a fucking wrong way
there isn't
there is
when you're classically
French trained
there is a fucking right way
and a wrong way
are you classically
French trained
yes
no
I worked in Cafe Rouge
for three months
I'm not saying
I'm classically French trained.
I'm saying I know how to put a baking tray in the oven.
And I know I should have another glove on, Chris.
But I'm happy to bare my hand if it means winning this argument.
My ex-girlfriend used to put the garlic in last.
And I'm like, well, that's just fucking stupid, love.
You're putting the right amount of garlic in at the complete wrong time.
And it's not going to taste right.
So I'm not going to let you get away with that.
This is, to be fair, didn't you start like a cooking channel during shutdown
shutdown yeah yeah did you start cooking though online yeah yeah yeah so so are you a good cook
yeah i reasonably like reasonably weird weird channel so why is your mrs cooking at all if
you're the good cook or is she a good cook as well? Well, apparently not because she's doing it wrong.
She's all right.
No, she's good at what she does well.
Yeah.
She's got a few dishes there that are absolutely top.
If you were on Come Dine With Me, what's your main course?
Oh, that's a great question.
We've never done that.
What's your Come Dine With Me menu?
Starter, main and dessert?
Probably some like broad bean, prancetta,
quail eggs,
salad starter.
Oh my God.
With like fucking braised lettuce or something.
Didn't think they were
going there,
did you?
I swear to God,
he could be a,
he could be a garage MC.
Just say that starter again.
Give that a bit of a fucking beat.
The fucking quail eggs
is amazing.
It's a beet. It's a beet Oud, oud, oud, oud.
It's a B.
It's a B.
Is this back to the porno?
It's a B.
Oud, oud, oud, oud.
UK garage?
That's the German garage.
Unter, unter, unter, unter.
Yeah, I love the garage.
Say that again.
Broad bean, salad with pancetta, queer legs and braised lettuce.
That's the starter?
Yeah.
Right, and then the main
Somebody's off answer
They can't go wrong
With a fucking steak
Can you
Like a proper
Well done fucking
T-bone
Or something like that
Rear by
Something with a bit of fat
None of this fillet shit
What's your sides
Onion ring
And chips
Peppercorn sauce
Dauphinoise
Green beans
Somewhat
Dauphinoise Like the dolphin potatoes Creamy potatoes Onion rings and chips. Dolphin Noir. Peppercorn sauce. Dolphin Noir. Green beans. Somewhat Noir.
Dolphineese.
Like the dolphin potatoes.
Creamy potatoes, lad.
You're literally making up words.
Dolphineese?
No, it's Dolphine Noir, but it looks like it's dolphin flavoured potatoes.
Creamy potatoes.
Yeah.
Have you never had them before?
No.
We had them at Paul Blair's wedding.
And you know, at a wedding they like write on a little card what
you're having and i said because i had a few drinks i was like it's dolphin potato like
dolphinese potatoes and jade was like poor thing it's dolphin water potatoes it's wet potatoes
the shite chips when you sit down at a wedding and you read the set menu you're like
fucking loving them i actually really like them,
but chips are better.
Right.
I just don't get why people fuck with potatoes.
They're so perfect already.
I've only told you this before,
like topped fries.
When people get like topped fries
in like a fucking hipster burger restaurant,
I'm just like,
what are you fucking doing?
Get all that shit on your main thing.
Just have your chips,
salt and pepper and vinegar,
just normal.
Not a fan of bacon-ees or nothing like that i i don't mind it but i want to dip it in or i'll have a little bit on the on the end i just i want my chips to be dry i i get dead irritated because
fucking every restaurant undercooks chips like they just make them crispy like i don't want
soggy fucking chips you know what i mean just put them in the fryer long enough that they're fucking cooked twice and then and then then i didn't even do that before put the
fucking mayo and ketchup on sand throw that fucking stuff on top i've just got a soggy fucking load of
potatoes you know what though we nearly mentioned this before but then we did like a restart thing
didn't we so what i've got beef with which they are crispy you know when you go to like a restart thing didn't we so what I've got beef with which they are crispy
you know when you go to
like a pub now
have you seen like twice
or three times
cooked chips
have you seen there
like a thing
who the fuck's
getting away with that
that's a piss taker
we used to do that
when we'd fucking
add chips that had
just been sat there
for ages
and you need to
exactly
and you just throw them
back in the fryer
my mum would avoid
the chippy
for the first hour
and a half
of tea time
because she's like
if you go the first hour,
you get the chips from lunchtime recooked
because it was seen as shite and now it's like a delicacy.
Stop slapping the table.
I'm pissed off.
Adam's like playing the tug.
All I can hear in their thing is like,
fucking chips.
All right, Adam.
Have you got a bag of crisps, please?
A medical bag of crisps.
Hey.
What's your dessert?
I need closure
bread and butter pudding
oh fucking hell
that got more work
in class as it went on
by the way
your starter was
proper Tory
by the end you were like
meh meh meh
meh meh meh
I'll start with
the essence of
quail eggs
and dolphin jizz
what would yours be
but it's got to be
something you can cook
oh no
no I wouldn't.
You should get a takeaway.
Yeah, fucking just eat, mate.
You know what I mean?
I'm like game changer that way.
Here's a game changer.
Just discover this.
Have you got an active fry?
The air fry things?
That's just a fucking oven, mate.
Right, okay.
The active fry.
It's just a fucking...
Yeah.
You just bought a fucking small oven.
Oh, yeah, but it does...
Why are they cooking it with hot air?
It does chips particularly well.
But you know how oven chips are like
aye
they're not great
the active fry
makes them better
so we got an Indian
takeaway
you know when the
chips are like
it feels like they've
been in the bag
for a fortnight
they're like
I'm so tired
put them in the
active fry for five
minutes and you've
got hot fucking
crisp chips
with your Indian
takeaway
everyone's staring at
me like I'm a
knobhead
I honestly
this is how I
thought this was
going to go
I thought I was going to get
a standing ovation
I'm absolutely going
all dolphin jizz
he's like what the fuck
I thought everyone's going to go
Dan you've changed the game
and you're like
who gives a shit
no because you've got to take away
which means you weren't prepared
to cook and then done
after cooking yourself
it's a joke
I am massively food indifferent
about all this
it's like
if I want something really nice
you go somewhere
to have something really nice other than that I like nice food I'd something really nice you go somewhere to have something
really nice
other than that
I like nice food
I'd rather eat nice food
I've had the choice
but I don't care
enough to cook it
I haven't got the time
to cook it
it doesn't give me
nothing to cook it
I've got no satisfaction
of it
so for me
it's like
I need to eat
give me something
that will
do that
Carl
who isn't mic'd up
at the minute
because for the first time
we've got two guests
in the studio
I just want to
double check
you lived in Japan
for a year
as our listeners know
he's just come back
like two weeks ago
you didn't cook once
did you
you didn't cook once
in the whole year
not once
living on his own
he said not once
can't really hear
alright okay he's basically saying no he was doing a fucking long winded version of no I'm about to die in the week, and then when I've got time... Can't really hear....I'll get those things out of the house.
All right, okay.
He's basically saying no.
He was doing a fucking long-winded version of no.
Right.
I love...
I like cooking.
I get, like, really stressed with it, but by the end of it, I feel really, like, satisfied.
Like, making a roast dinner, I'm having the worst day of my life.
Stop slapping the desk!
I'm having the worst day of my life. Stop slapping the desk! I'm having the worst day of my life.
But by the end of it,
like when you get the finished product
of a roast dinner with a lamb as well,
oh, it's amazing.
It's worth the anxiety.
And you put yours on,
you actually did a YouTube channel
with your cooking.
Yeah, yeah.
It was a bit of a pain in the arse,
to be honest with you,
because it takes fucking ages.
Just if you're cooking something
and then you've got two kids coming in
and poking you in the fucking side of the head while you're trying to cook something
and then you've got to edit it put it up you did do the the lockdown shutdown thing where people go
this is the perfect opportunity for me to launch my new career i'm gonna be my youtube channel
that i've been waiting so long to release my podcast the podcast that the world needed to see
and then you after a while you're like oh my god it's a lot of work this is never like you've been fucking editing
editing shit
editing
well yeah
you have people to do that
normally
we've been laughing a lot
about those people
because every comedian
in the country
has done exactly that
so we started this
in January
a few months before
lockdown
got a little bit
of an audience going
as lockdown's gone on
we've grown it
and then we've opened this
and it's all gone well.
And at the start of lockdown, every comedian went,
well, I'm going to be a YouTube podcaster, content creator person.
So I'm going to spend a grand and a half on equipment right now.
And now that gigs are coming back,
you can just see like eBay listings of podcast mics and cameras.
It's like when gyms reopen, it'll be back to that again,
where people go out there and they buy the boss trainees
and the boss training gear
and they're all this
and they go and pay
for the full year
full year at the gym
for the dickhead
go for a run
in your fucking school shoes first
and see if you can do it
and if you can do that
for a week
go and get yourself
some nice traps
but that's the thing
people forget that
with YouTube and podcasts
it's like
no I need to make it
high quality.
Nah, go and do it for a month.
And if you still can be asked to do it after a month,
then treat yourself with some good mics or treat yourself with some bits and pieces.
Don't get a bank loan before you've done a pilot.
Is that what you did?
No, no, it's genuinely not.
We built, we actually, for the first time in my life,
it's actually quite a sensible way of doing it. Did it gradually and then we've invested money back from the pod but i know
people that just got that business to you know when everyone was getting help there was also
the small businesses got a five ten grand loan and went yeah i'm gonna get all the equipment
and you're like that's you're starting backwards it's too much pressure that's kind of to be fair
that's kind of what we did with red men isn't it i mean you had the the experience and stuff and some of the equipment and then we
were like right we've got 5 000 subscribers on youtube let's launch a page a paid service so i
took a five grand loan out we built a website and 200 people signed up at two two pounds a month and
we went fuck what are we fucking doing here like this is fucking so we're getting about 350 quid a month
great we've just sunk five grand into it and our fucking time and stuff we're like shit
six years later you broke even so yeah there you go what year was this 2011 so before netflix
did it the uk so no one knew what subscription services were no one was used to them so we were
like oh we're ahead of the game blah blah blah
I nicked all terms and conditions off fucking
love film and I think these still might
be love films terms and conditions
just copy and pasted
find love film
replace with Red Men TV
people are still posting us DVDs back
I don't know why
yeah
that's a good
considering you're not
a comic
that was a beautiful
you just waited
for the fucking
gap and went
pa pa
that's a lovely
that was Zidane
in the Champions League
finally could see it
coming all over
yeah
what's the arc of that one
no it was
it was mad
yeah it was
we were lucky at the time
with all that
because no one did it
but also
no one was doing it so it wasn't oversaturated but no one was doing it so it was mad yeah it was we were lucky at the time with all that because no one did it but also no one was doing it
so it wasn't oversaturated
but no one was doing it
so everyone was like
what the fuck are you doing
I remember being in a wedding
like the week
it was like
we poured all the money in
Chris had been slaving on it
we'd had this like
web design company working on it
and the week before we were launching
I went to a wedding
with all my mates
who I'd
when I went to uni
all the group of friends
I had in Sheffield at the time
I'd seen them
and they were like
how's it going
what are you up to
I've got this
I've got this website
we were doing this
YouTube channel for a year
it's gone really well
we're launching the paywall
and it was people going
what
seriously you're doing that
and then literally people going
hey
hey
have you heard what Scouse
come over here
come and listen to what he's doing
he's launching
he's going to charge people
to listen to him talk about football there's mates and they were going he's doing he's launching he's going to charge people to listen to him talk about football
and they were going
he's doing what
and I heard like a gang
a crowd of people
come around to be like
what are you doing
you fucking idiot
and it's a British thing
isn't it
you're a dickhead
it's a British thing
where you feel bad
don't you
you feel like
oh god
can I have
people didn't understand
people still don't
it's less stigmatised.
No, it's not stigmatised so much.
It's probably more stigmatised now, to be fair,
because of influencers and all.
Less derived and it's less, like, dismissed as a stupid thing.
Yeah, you don't have to explain it in really simplistic terms.
People know, like, your father-in-law knows what YouTube is now.
You know what I mean?
Like, your nan's more likely to have watched a video on YouTube
than 10 years ago
when was the turning point
when you were like
even the club
even Liverpool
think we're proper
when did you like
clock it
where you were like
oh we're getting credentials
and we're getting a bit
of acknowledgement
from like
when was the
because you're like
your subscribers
your followers
it's a fucking
massive thing
like when was the point when you were like, oh, we're proper?
I don't know.
I don't know whether I've ever had it, to be honest with you.
I think I'm still just having a laugh.
Right.
But you have both interviewed Jürgen Klopp, like, recently.
So that seems like, I mean, that seems more than having a laugh.
He hasn't been in here yet, funnily enough.
No, there is
there's no
I think people go into
and it goes back to the conversation
but it was kind of
turned on
was I think people expect
something to go
and it'll blow up
because they see it
they see it all the time
you'll see it with the comedy game
and we'll see it more from outside
you only become aware
of stand-up comics
when they've got the first DVD out
or they're on BBC
where did this guy
come from
he's come from
out of nowhere
John Bishop
he's come from
overnight
15 years on the circuit
exactly
and with that old saying
it takes 10 years
to become an overnight
sensation or whatever
doesn't it
and it's been a bit
like that
there's never been
a moment where we've
like oh we've cracked
this because every time
you think you've cracked
it you then turn over
the video and there's
someone calling you
a fucking nonce
for no reason.
I wanted to ask you about this, right?
So, I want to jump on you bringing it up
because it's been on my head since you got here.
So, we purposefully, at the start of this podcast,
made a very conscious decision
to leave football out of it as much as possible.
So, when Liverpool won the league,
we essentially did a winning the league special
where it was like,
listen guys, Adam's going to talk about the footy today because he's still hungover slash pissed from last night.
It was only 20 minutes and then we got on with other stuff.
Yeah, because I'm very aware, like I am a wind up on Twitter.
I like doing it.
It's funny to me.
But because there's no way of expressing tone on Twitter and there's no way of doing it with comments or written stuff,
people get really upset about Fussy.
Like, really, really.
And I find it funny, but it's also really nasty in it.
There's really nasty, abusive, horrible comments.
And even though you don't go out your way to wind people up,
you are a Liverpool fan channel,
you'll make the odd comment because it's funny
and it's part of your
life how do you deal
with the shit because
I hate it and I can't
stop myself getting
it because it's wired
into me so be a
wind up but how do
you deal with like
people just going
are you fucking
scouts horrible
country fucking
dirty that's how
fucking shoot you
whatever well like
do you know what
I mean that's that
stuff I don't mind
that what you're
saying there like if
someone's going you scouse this
you scouse that
when you're just like
you're an idiot
aren't you
when you get
generic abuse
people who think
when you're like
you're clearly 13
and you're not
you're not
you're not experienced
enough to have
learned how to
properly insult someone
so it's like
there's just
generic things
that get thrown your way
and you see them
and you just,
you actually stop seeing them
after a while.
I agree with you on that.
The generic stuff,
it just makes me laugh.
It's a personal.
The stuff that cuts you down
for no reason
and I'll be fair,
Chris gets it more than I do.
Why?
No, but just,
we're sure we'll,
you know,
but there's probably reasons for it.
I don't know.
But yeah, it's just fucking, it is weird, reasons for it, I don't know, but, yeah,
it's just fucking,
it is weird,
it's horrible,
and people don't get that,
and it's to do with the culture of it,
and I,
I try to be forgiving of it as much as I can,
because,
okay,
the culture didn't exist when we were that age,
but it did,
because me and my cousin used to go onto internet chat rooms,
into like,
under specific topics,
and I won't say them,
because it's not weird bringing it up now,
but,
you'd go in there,
and you would try to get thrown out, so you'd just be offensive to people, and you'd be in their bed, and you won't say them, because it's not worth bringing up now, but you go in there, and you would try to get thrown out,
so you'd just be offensive to people,
and you'd be in our bed,
and you'd get chucked out,
or you'd get people riled up,
and you'd get people going,
oh,
and you'd be sat behind,
they'd keep on laughing to each other,
isn't this dead funny,
because you're getting people to react to you,
and you get chucked out,
it's badge of honour,
and you'd then go,
anyway,
what are we doing,
let's go carry on with our champ manager,
save for another hour instead,
or let's go to the
shop and get a can
of coke
because it's not a
person is it
it's an entity
it's a non-existent
people don't realise
you're a natural
person
that exists now
but now you've got
access to it
that was random
faceless people
who were people
but it was far more
random and far more
faceless
now you can
because of twitter
and facebook
and youtube
we've actively
encouraged people to give their opinions.
And so it's opened up this forum
where every opinion's super valid
because everyone's opinions are so precious and so amazing.
So if you fucking hate someone,
you can now just tell them
and you can spread hate messages and all that.
And they're the ones that hurt
when someone just seemingly fucking hates you
for no reason whatsoever. back in the 90s if
your ma or your dad hated like some celebrity like my dad with a visceral hate that i imagine
is based in some sort of homophobia hated dale winton like he just hated dale winton but dale
winton never knew because my dad had no way of getting in touch with dale winton whereas these
days dale winton would have found out several times that michael roe hates him but you could
couldn't because you could he could have gone and found dale winton shouted at his house being a
prick to him but no one does it in the real world they want to do it from the fucking couch don't they
like oh i tell you hey if you take that away it never happened but people can just be like they
can literally i've just finished this shit and i'm going to be a bell end to someone on twitter
no most people aren't like adam most people wouldn't say it even in public you probably
would be more inclined to say it in public i it's funny there's a saying i got taught
taught and it was random in working in pubs you pick up some
amazing life advice
but it was like
if someone's got a problem
a real problem
with something
they wouldn't tell you
so if someone takes
the piss out of you
for your haircut
or for this and whatever
it's just
when banter used to be
a light hearted
not a really cringe
worthy expression
if it was a real problem
people wouldn't say it to you
which sounds really
counterintuitive
in our world now because it's now that seems to be weirdly dishonest but someone had a real problem people wouldn't say it to you which sounds really counterintuitive in our world now yeah because it's now that seems to be weirdly dishonest but someone had a real problem
you wouldn't you would never talk about it you wouldn't skit someone for something they couldn't
control yeah whereas you would take the piss out of other things whereas that's what's happened
the internet's allowed everyone to just be like i can just say loads of dead horrible things about
people at all at any given moment. It's the out of
blueness of it.
You can be having the
best day in your life
when we have it and
it's hard when you've
got kids I think it's
even worse because
you're on your phone a
lot.
We're all on your
phone and everyone's
got it but you don't
realize if you've not
got like an active
probably doesn't have
most people's social
media experience is not
this.
It's just a thing for
you to view.
It's actually just a
passive experience.
It's just a window into something. It not back and forth you can be playing with your
kids and you'll pick your phone up and you might then get lost on twitter we all do it yeah but
then you've just got some random person tagging you in and for me it's when someone says something
inaccurate so they might call you out for something and say you're this you said this and you're
horrible and i hate you and then tag it and then they're tagging other people in like they're
trying to get you in
oh yeah
I can't let that lie
I can't have people
be wrong
particularly about me
if they've got the wrong
end of the stick
I can't have missing people
at any point in the day
as well
you could just be having
a lovely moment
and you just check your phone
and then
not to go dark on it
but my son said to me
we were on holiday
he's eight years old
and he just
he got a bit upset
and he was like
you ignore
you're always on you're
always on your phone you've you want you pay attention to your phone more than you pay
attention to me no honestly heartbreaking and i had to say to him right mate i promise you tomorrow
no no swear to christ like i said to him like tomorrow it's me and you we're having a me and
you day you won't see me phone tomorrow i promise promise. And that's even on a good day.
But there's a bad day when someone cuts you to the core with a nothing thing,
because you're just not prepared for it.
We can all take it.
Being in a fight, we can all take a dig.
But even a heavyweight, world-class heavyweight boxer,
if you catch him with a fucking dig when he's not looking,
you'll knock him spark out cold.
And that's what you've got to deal with.
And that has the knock-on impact.
Your life is the hardest part of
that thing about like
when someone says something inaccurate
that is for me
and we've spoke about this a couple of times
I try not to talk about it
because it's not funny
but that Mach-E's thing
from the start of this year
when I like didn't get into Mach-E's
and it caused this made it
because I've done like a stupid tweet
the story that that has become,
so what actually happened there was
a 50-odd-year-old woman
who was pissed off at the end of her shift
didn't give a shit
that I was having a panic attack in the rain.
That's what happened.
The story has become
Adam Rowe volleyed a 12-year-old
who worked in Mackey's
because he wouldn't give him a muck,
bloody five minutes.
And I can do fuck all about it
because if you go to people who are going,
you're trying to get a fucking 16 year old sack
because she wouldn't
give you the McMuffin
10 minutes earlier
you fat cunt
if you go
well no actually
I didn't do that
because that's not
you weren't even there
I was there on my own
and I was
you can't do it
and that
that's what drives me mad
more than anything about that
I had this last week
in fact it was the build up
to Liverpool's last game
of the season
and ITV went
come and do an interview
for whatever Good Morning GMTV whatever the hell it game of the season and ITV went come and do an interview for whatever
Good Morning
GMTV
whatever the hell it is
in the morning show
and I went yeah fine
go up at 5 o'clock
in the morning
go down to the docks
go interview
and the narrative was
everyone's telling everyone
to stay away from Anfield
so you know
just so it's not bad PR
for Liverpool
the managers come out
the captains come out
the whole club
it's a big push
and they said to me
you know
what do you think about it
but it was led down the line of this is all basically a piece to just say
you know be sensible and you know and and what have you and it got taken that i'd basically said
like and i wanted i did it three times did it live i then did a post a post pre-recorded one
for that and then i did another one on the guy's phone
for social media
and at the end of one of them
I said something
it was a slip of the tongue
like
all real fans
will be sat at home
watching it on the telly anyway
and then I was like
and someone tweeted me
and I sort of
kicked off a little bit
because I was tagged
in some of the posts
and it died off
as everything does
everything moves on
but some random lad
this lad I got tagged in a tweet.
And it's like, this lad said he hates Scousers or something.
And I was like,
what?
Right, can I just back up here a second?
What?
I thought, he must be talking about someone else who's tagged in.
I went, sorry, what are you talking about?
He said, you went on this video and said that you hate Scousers.
I was like, and I thought,
no, you fucking didn't.
I didn't.
I didn't.
In any way
shape or form i'm also a fucking scouse you're the worst type of self-hating scouse but like
but and i was like i do a bite of this because i need to put that straight because i can't have
that being spread and then it come down like this lad was like and clearly this is some lad who
pretends to be
Scouse
because he
it turns out he's from
Witness
as soon as he had it from Witness
I let it go
because he was arsed
but you know
but they're the kind of things
that you
because you've got
you come to a point
where you've got
you have to protect
you know yourself
and you don't want
fault in front of you
we don't want to dive
into it too much
but you gave
a Liverpool player
a reading no I gave Naby Keita a fucking five much, but you gave a Liverpool player a rating.
No, I gave Naby Keita a fucking five out of 10.
We do a play rating show every week
where we give them ratings.
Based on the game that's just been played.
Based on the game that I've seen.
So I go in there and I fucking,
we've done a show for two and a half hours.
We go straight into it, not thought about it,
just fucking cameras rolling, blah, blah, blah.
Give them a five out of 10.
I'm a racist.
I'm like, what? But now it's a thing on twitter where people will literally say i'm nabikata two
out of ten and i'm a racist to fucking loads and loads of people it's fucking crazy but i think
everyone wants to be liked yeah that's the thing that's why it hurts yeah because everyone wants
everyone to like them or to think they're funny or to think they're knowledgeable or whatever the
fuck it is you can't so all you've got to do in answer to your
question is go would i take advice off that person on twitter no then don't take the fucking abuse
yeah that's exactly what i try and do and i also try and what what you say is like be forgiven with
it i or what i always do and i've had a few times i get it in me DMs. When it comes in me DMs, I reply, but I go dead nice.
And I go, I don't think you know what really happened on the day you're talking about lads.
So here's what happened.
If you still want to date me after that, that sound.
Every time I've had a conversation with someone like that, they've always gone, you seem like a really nice lad.
And they always calm down.
calm down and I always say to them sort of initially in like a I'm going overly nice and it's sort of like a little dig because I know it's going to get to them what I try and think is
anyone who's sending someone abuse on the internet someone they don't know for something innocuous or
something that they don't really know the full story of they're not having a good time they're
having a shit time at the minute they're
unhappy they might
be depressed and I
always say something
along the lines of
I can understand
you're probably a
really angry person
at the minute I
don't know what's
going on in your
life but I hope you
get the help that
you need and I
feel like it just
like gives them a
little shockwave and
it just stops them
no one really well
rounded with a
really happy home
life a good career
eating healthy
not drinking.
No one who is,
you know,
Patrick Bateman
flexing in front of a mirror
with a super hot wife
and a super hot body
is taking the time
to DM Adam Rowe
about his McDonald's.
Babe,
come back to bed.
I'm not a second love.
Fucking Rowe.
The worst one I had
was nothing to do with
what we've already spoke about
was a fussy thing.
I put a tweet about Lovren.
He'd made an absolute catastrophic edit in a game.
And I was like, it wasn't even like a slagging.
On your show, when I can be in more context,
and I'm clearly being jovial and joking,
I'll go in a bit more on the players.
But it was like, Lovren's just not good enough for this team.
You know, the sooner we get Gomez and Matipak, the better.
Blah, blah, blah.
It was really like one of the most innocuous
he's had a bad game, that keeps
happening, I don't know whether I've
even told you or you about this, I got a
proper death threat
like to my Facebook page
so I'd done that on Twitter, right
he'd found my Facebook fan page
and he messaged me going, how dare you give any of these
lads stick, they're all part of the squad
if one of them fails, they all fail.
You don't know who I am.
I've just got out of a mental hospital
and I'm just looking for some cunt like you.
And then he took a screenshot of my website with all my tour dates on it
and he was like, I know where you're going to be on these dates.
And I sent it to my agent.
And I was like, what do we do?
And she was like, look look it's an empty threat
it absolutely is
and you know it is
obviously
looking back you go
it obviously was
it's just someone
blowing off steam
but she was like
but we will let
every tour venue know
like I'd sent her
photos of the guy
could you imagine
Cardiff
ladies and gents
welcome out on stage
comedian Adam Rowe
first minute in
and all you hear
from the back is,
the fucking DJ!
And then comes down the middle of the aisle.
Oh, Jesus.
I'd say that, yeah, honestly, there's just gangs of weirdos out there.
The problem is, what social media has done,
it goes back to the thing about the comments,
it's empowered knobheads, moronsons and just people that you should be look you you're you're
some of your stand-up bit where you talk about this and so i don't want i would never do it
justice in certain ways but there's just certain people who you're meant to buzz off the people i
don't like i don't like bullying i don't like bullies i don't like that but there
are some people who deserve to be bullied and there's people out there who have got stupid
opinions of it because again i worked in pubs for a decade and everyone every group of mates
got that one lad who takes the lion's share of the abuse because he deserves it because he's an
idiot and he's the only way you can put him right is to go shut up you dick
and I had
you know
and you used to
in years gone by
you would punch that person
in the arm
maybe face
depending on what
you'd had to drink
and now
those people
don't have friends anymore
it's dickhole innit
we've all got
we've all got the name
and it's all
it's always a name like that
it's always an O name
or an I name or an I name
or an E name
one of our mates
the other day
went to wet the baby's head
he's just had a baby
and he invited all the lads
and he invited Dicko
and he told Dicko only
that it was fancy dressed
and he turned up
dressed as Saw
these guys
used to get
pilloried
and they were laughing
they were laughing
and you'd hold them up
and you loved them really
so you were a bit gentle
with them
and you'd maybe
make it up to them
these people now
more and more
don't have real friends
because you know
these people
we all know
they're very lucky
to have us aren't they
to be honest
these weirdos
these weirdos
that we've kept around
and invited to the parties
for all these years
but no
these now
don't have actual real friends
but they find
other little niche weirdos
who have those
niche weirdo opinions
online
and it emboldens them
to have stupid opinions
yes
and you know
and so they've now got
these weird subculture groups
where they think
and this is how
Flat Earth has come about
in it
is that instead of
someone going
shut up you knob
no it's not a real thing
they've got a
they've found thousands
of other people
going no it is right it used to be the one dickhead
in the pub
and now that dickhead
in the pub
can talk to the dickhead
from every other pub
in the country
at the same time
dickinthepub.com
it's alright
yeah
it's like
it's like
literally like
you found an app
where instead of like
meeting people
to date
or to find love
you found
other morons
who share your stupid opinions
and that's how you match.
Ooh, he thinks the earth is flat
and Boris Johnson's doing a great job.
Oh yeah, he's a match.
We can have a little chat online now.
Yeah, oh my God.
And he's got a Subaru as a profile picture as well.
Shall we call a little interval?
We need to have a word from our sponsors.

I reckon social media is going to become
a much nicer, happier place for everyone involved.

Two mics, two leads, and a lot of time on their hands.
This is Have A Wad.
We're back.
It's time for some features.
We've got some features.
We've got a couple of would-you-riders, which we do a lot of.
I know you do a couple of them on your podcast as well.
We should give that a plug
actually.
So tell us where you can find it
what it's called
and whatever.
The Matej X Pajak podcast.
It's generally speaking.
It's similar to what you guys do.
It's generally me and Chris
just chatting shit
about life,
the universe and everything
periodically with great guests
and Adam's been on it as well.
That was a really good one
actually.
No, it is.
The one we did with Jamie Carragher
was one of the really good ones.
We had yourself, Liverpool musician,
Jamie Webster and Jamie Carragher
on a little spell pre-lockdown
when we had to get back to,
we couldn't get guests anymore.
So it was like doing it ourselves.
It was amazing.
It was dead fun, that.
It's a really, really good podcast to do.
And I imagine a few people who watch this
will be from your fans and also
there'll be a crossover with me having done your channel a bit and there'll be a lot of football
fans on but if you're a fan of ours if you're one of the regular have a word listeners and you like
chris and paul and you're not really interested in 40 or live pool football club the mate x payjack
podcast is 99 non-football in it like you might hint at it because it's ridiculous for you not
to at times but it's well for you not to at times,
but it's well worth checking out.
Even the ones with the footballers
and the other Liverpool-based people,
not necessarily football-based,
and go and check that out.
Unless you're a Tory, please don't.
Tory, don't bother.
How many days are you recording?
Now, you've got the Redmen TV and your podcast.
I mean, is it literally a nine to five,
Monday to Friday?
Not nine to five. No, no. No, that's not. You don't it literally a nine to five monday to friday not nine to five no no no
that's not like you don't give up a nine to five to start another nine to eight to late really
isn't it yeah pretty much like we do mxp you've got your own channel as well i've got we've both
got twitch channels so red men as well on top of that like it's it's a full-time fucking job
red men's a proper it's a full-on media company, so there's everything to, you know what I mean?
There's those,
and we've got three other members of staff
who work on all that,
so it's,
there's always something going on.
You could have,
you could fill 24 hours a day,
if you know,
if you had the manpower to do it.
So yeah,
it's,
it would be weird.
Do you know,
do you know at some point
when I go and do an episode,
I mean,
we'll clear this with you guys,
you should come and sit in on it
because you'd love their setup.
You know,
just the studios.
Mate,
you're doing what we want to get to.
Obviously,
different stuff.
Yeah.
We've got our old wallpaper
and everything.
It's great.
Is this the same one?
Yeah.
We talked about your channel
when we were talking about
what we wanted this to become.
Yeah.
We want it to be
your podcast
and your show
but for fucking nonsense instead of footy.
Nailed it.
And we want to get really rich,
and that's why we're doing our feature,
Celebrity Net Worth.
Yes.
So we've sort of done this once before by accident.
Basically, you'll notice Dan has a laptop in front of him.
I'm not allowed a laptop,
because I've got undiagnosed ADHD.
And you'd have broken
the keyboard
the amount of
fucking smash in the table
before
but I started just
one episode
Dan was just talking
for a bit too long
for me to concentrate on
so
I just started
40 episodes
I just
started googling
celebrity net worths
so I don't really know
what's about to happen here
because he's prepped a bit
and mainly Carl
has prepped
a chunk of this as well
What are we doing?
Can you tell us?
You haven't got a mic
I've got loads
So you've got loads
I want to see what you've got
I went on celebritynetworth.com
The official website as well
They check your bank
I would suggest that going down some of this
It's bullshit Because some of these people definitely do not check your bank. And I would suggest that going down some of this, it's bullshit.
Because some of these people definitely
do not check their bank account,
and it's in million dollars.
But we're going to go off them.
Well, net worth isn't just your capital, is it?
It's like your assets as well.
Oh, look at me with words there.
Yeah.
That was sick.
And I'm not sure all of these people's accountants
would agree with the fucking findings.
Like, if you went to celebrityaccountantsworth.com,
they'd be like, shut the fuck up.
It's a letter.
I wonder if anyone in this room is on it.
Almost certainly not.
Do you not reckon?
Not a fucking chance.
No.
Or nation.
No.
Net worth.
I can imagine if an...
It's a suggested Google search.
I'll tell you that much
Yeah
Fucking hell
You know you've cracked it
When you type your name in it
And wife comes up
Straight afterwards
No it's not there
For the crazy girls
Thinking maybe I can be
His wife
It's his bed
It's his bed fit
We don't need to do
The celebrity net worth
For these guys
We could just get
The banking apps out
And we'll have a little
Fucking comp
Get it out
and it just goes
wah wah
it says mine
is up to a million dollars
and that is
accuracy
yeah
oh that's
definitely
anywhere
probably always will be
he was driving
Jade's Fiesta
for the first
six months of the year
the game is just
who's worth more.
Classic fucking...
Like, for your car, right?
Is it winner stays on sort of thing?
You can just discuss it between yourselves.
I just want to know who you think's worth more.
Okay.
Elon Musk.
Him?
Or Bill Gates.
Oh.
Tesla's own Elon Musk.
Electrical wizard nonce, Elon Musk.
Bill Gates gave half his fucking fortune the way, didn't he? No, I think he's going to. tesla's own elon musk electrical wizard nonce elon musk and bill gates
and the foundation and stuff didn't he give loads to the foundation i think he's gonna when he dies
that's what i always heard that was the room of gold around our school no there is like a charity
movement isn't it to give away a massive chunk of your wealth because he's trying to microchip
everyone in control he's now a philanthropist isn't he that's like that's what he's now he's not bill gates microsoft anymore he's fucking that so butip everyone and control the world. He's now a philanthropist, isn't he? That's what he's now. He's not Bill Gates, Microsoft
anymore. He's fucking that.
You know when they say philanthropist, they're still
worth at least 30 billion.
But I gave away 100.
You're still bigger than Peru, though.
Your wealth.
Your fucking GDP is massive.
Yeah, but Elon Musk is like the
man city of this game, isn't he? Bill Gates
has been fucking winning titles for time in the billionaires.
I mean, he was number one, baby.
He's Man United.
This is fucking Elon Musk being...
Elon Musk terrifies me, you know.
I've seen him on like Rogan's podcast,
and there's something fucking wrong with him.
Yeah.
Like, he's obviously that, you know,
that thin line between madness and genius.
I think like, depending on what they...
I think Tuesday he's a genius,
and the next day he's killing something.
You know what I mean?
He's definitely nailing it,
but he's like,
I want to solve the traffic problem in LA.
Yeah, he's building underground tunnels.
And it probably worked,
but it does sound mental until we've seen it work.
It sounds like The Dark Knight Rises to me.
It sounds like he's getting everyone under there

I had that on MP3
I mean
I'll
Carl will you check for us
which one of them

Ghetto Gospel
Hit em with a little
ghetto gospel
Those are weird
Follow me
Did Elton John
duet with Tupac
after Tupac had been shot several times?
Because that doesn't sound something like West Coast rapper Tupac would agree to.
That was from 2005.
Yeah, he's long dead.
I was 13.
Yeah, but that's mad because I think after a certain age,
once you're at adulthood, everything feels like it was like two
weeks ago so like that song feels like it only came out quite recently oh yeah it's still the
noughties for me when like what like the libertines was about a fortnight ago usher bairn was first
yeah uh you say like elton john hadn't ordered bill gates i knew this was gonna happen
elon musk and bill gates is where he's like. He's like, no, shut up, Usher.
Elton John also did it with Eminem.
Remember?
With Stan.
I believe that.
No, he didn't, no, did he?
He did.
Elton John and Tupac and Elton John and Eminem
were never in the room together.
Elton John and Eminem performed live on stage together
and did Stan.
Wow. Elton John did Dido's bit on stage together and did Stan. Wow.
Elton John did Dido's bit
because Dido was on holiday in Rio.
Do you reckon Elton John...
Fucking Elton John.
I'm not...
Dido's on here.
Who should we get?
Elton fucking John, yeah?
Sound.
Someone must really hate Eminem.
But it's...
I prefer that version.
Tears gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all I prefer that version Close your eyes
Don't
I think he was just molesting me
Play that
No don't
For the love of
fuck don't
11 years ago
but
can we just do one
Bill Gates
Bill Gates
120 billion
Elon Musk
99 billion
he's got 99 billion
but his mental health
is one
Tom Cruise
yeah
Tom Hanks
who's worth more
oh Cruisy
think Cruisy
I reckon Cruisy
oh no
I don't know
whether he had to pay
like a fucking
severance fee
to get out of
the old Scientology stuff
what
like membership fees
because he bounced
didn't he
has he fucked off Scientology
I believe so
no
did you get it
in the yearly newsletter
yeah yeah I think like because he was he was like the face of it for a while wasn't he of Scientology? I believe so. No. Did you get it in the yearly newsletter? Yeah, yeah.
I think like,
because he was like
the face of it
for a while, wasn't he?
To pay a severance package
like leaving Virgin...
I think it was like...
I think he like...
He bought himself
out of his mobile phone contract.
I think maybe like
the Jews paid a transfer fee
to get him from Scientology.
Okay.
Let's let that
go.
Big transfer news
That'd be amazing
The theological
Fucking Sky Sports news
Breaking news
That's lunch hour
He can do
Fucking
What he's still there
Is he yeah
He's still there
He's still there
Yeah but he's seen
His contract
Yeah he's
Trying to go on a Bosman
Trying to go on a Bosman
He's gonna go and play
In Japan like
Fucking Iniesta
have you heard about
Cruz he makes
playing midfield
for the Buddhists
but like I think
if he's still there
then and he hasn't
had to pay them off
I reckon defo him
because like I reckon
he was getting like
commission on the
celebrities
you know like when
Jay-Z and Will Smith
and that came to
Scientology
I reckon it was all
down to him and he
was getting a little
20%
you're so fake news
that's unbelievable Jay-Z's not a Scientologist is he he is was all down to him and he was getting a little 20%. Mate, you're so fake news. That's unbelievable.
Jay-Z's not a Scientologist, is he?
He is.
Is he?
Is he fork?
Is he?
He fucking is.
Wow.
When did they sign him?
January transfer window.
And he got a free transfer with Bay.
Yeah.
Him and Beyonce are both in it.
No.
He's talking shit.
They were meant to be getting Kanye,
but the fax wasn't working
they're associated
with that
oh yeah
that's just a tax fiddle
you got this off team talk didn't you
Tom Cruise 570 million
Tom Hanks 400 million
wow
this is really up your
fucking street musically pink
yes christina aguilera oh you're saying look he's not there's no jokes about this because this is
his genre pink has like had more longevity hasn't she but christina aguilera's like beautiful and
dirty was such like she's probably still raking it in from that hey she got paid by how many wanks
you are to the dirty video it's probably probably her to still like put on her.
That is so devastatingly true.
I've had a wank.
Do you know what's really funny?
She was sweaty.
This is really embarrassing.
I've had a wank to that this year.
Isn't he on an HD?
720p.
I don't get out of bed
for less than 1080p
I was hungover
it come on the radio
when I was in the car
wait what
you were in the car
on the radio
no I didn't wank in the car
I wasted until I got home
and then I was like
you've seen it that many times
just imagine the video
when you just pull over
to some fucking
traffic light
for a fucking
tommy tank
he's in a fucking
food channel
on YouTube
and you're cracking
one out to
fucking Christina
Aguilera
I was hungover
I've told you before
when I'm hungover
me sexual desires
are a bit fucking
ski whiff
right
so I was in the car
it came on
and I was like
I remembered the video
and then when I got home
and I was having
a little alone time
it popped into my head
so instead of going
to Pornhub
I went to
Christina Aguilera
Vivo
can I just say
do you remember
and the video was
really hot stripper
like women
doing road works
and using like
like
there was parties
when we'd been clubbing
when people had put like
the MTV dance on
and it'd be four in the morning
and I'd be like
coming down a little bit
and then that had come on and I had to leave parties because it got me too horny
you're going down yeah yeah yeah yeah dirty little bastard so i feel for you you never had a pink
wank no i did sort of fancy pink when I was younger
but it was more like
a grief fantasy
because my parents
had split up
and she released
Family Portrait
and it just did
something for me
he has sympathy
works to Christina
you are beautiful
I am Christina
she's great
since she's thickened out
I fucking love her
she looks like she's like fucking Christina Aguilera squared
She's the same shape
She's just fucking massive
She looks like she's been doing growth hormone
I'm into it
Fat Tina
I'm a Pink fan
I am?
Yeah
I'd go and see Pink live
Can we get him tickets for Pink?
Never seen live music Never seen live music
Never seen live music
I've seen live music
I've never been to a concert
What
Yeah
Wow
We've done this
I know
That's fine
Right
You know Swimming with Dolphins
We were going watching Pink
That was good
Pink
Pink apparently
Puts a show on by the way
Oh she's the amazing showman
200 million
Christina Aguilera
160
you're quite good
at this
yeah she's got
more longevity
you're annoyingly
good at this
Messi
Cristiano
Cristiano
Ronaldo
Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo
I know it's Messi
it is
let's have the
discussion
let's have the
discussion
we can't hear you
Carl Messi's the highest paying footballer in the world doesn't mean let's have the discussion. Let's have the discussion. We can't hear you, Carl.
Messi's the highest paying footballer in the world.
Doesn't mean he's got the biggest net worth, though, does he?
What do you reckon, lads?
That's an interesting one.
Messi's got his own clothing brand and stuff, hasn't he?
So he's got his own Messi footballs.
Ronaldo has his own rights, though.
He negotiates his own rights with Juve, doesn't he?
So I reckon Ronaldo.
And he's had a couple of big transfers as well,
which Messi hasn't.
Yeah, I go Ronaldo.
Oh, that's a good point.
I'm going to stick with Messi because of Madigan's,
even though I know I'm wrong.
Messi, 400.
Cristina,
I can't say it.
Cristina, I go Ronaldo.
Cristina, Ronaldo, 500 mil.
Apparently.
He's not the first billionaire footballer then.
Here's one.
Fat Ronaldo or Zlatan?
Who's worth more?
I reckon right now it's Zlatan.
But I reckon if you had drawn a line at the end of both of their careers,
it just looks like he's spent a bit of money since he finished.
If you take away Brazilian Gregs.
Like he's on the limo, isn't he?
The limo?
Not if you've seen the size of him, he's not.
Oh, yeah?
No, but, like, there's some fat limo ends.
Is there?
Not proper ones, there's not.
He's on the limo.
I'm telling you right now, he's on the limo.
I'm not saying he's not, mate.
I'm just saying that he's, you know, he's probably on something.
Yeah.
But he's allowed to be, isn't he?
Yeah. He's worth a ton of money.
He's no alter party.
I can't imagine he's very rich.
I mean, I reckon he's comfortable,
but I can't see him being stupid anymore.
I reckon he hasn't paid his mortgage off
because he was spending it on other shit.
Why is it with Brazilian footballers?
They're amazing,
but Ronaldinho looks like a guy
who you'd find like
around the back of a pub like with a fucking ponytail fucking still got it ronnie trying to
do step overs with a fucking beer barrel well yeah i reckon i reckon it's latin i don't know
about you guys surely this does sound like a red herring i can't imagine why it wouldn't be
yeah it's latin 190 fat ronaldo 160 million dollars so i don't know i it wouldn't be Zlatan Yeah it's Zlatan 190 Fat Rinaldo 160 million dollars
So
I don't know
I just don't see that that can be true
Frank Lampard
And Steven Gerrard
Who do you reckon is worth more
According to American website
Celebritynetworth.com
It'll be Lampard I reckon
Lampard's got his books
Hasn't he?
He writes kids books
Does he?
Yeah
He writes kids books
Frankie's magic football
But also
He was probably on
Double what Gerrard was on
At Chelsea
Yeah
Because Chelsea are moneybags
I reckon
I'd go Lampard
Yeah Lampard
According to this
Frank Lampard's worth
90 million dollars
And Stevie G
Is worth 90 million dollars Oh wow It's a tie You've done that to us I know You know According to this, Frank Lampard's worth $90 million and Stevie G is worth $90 million.
Oh, wow.
It's a tie.
You've done that to us.
I know.
You know how annoying it was?
I saw it and I was like,
God, there's just nothing between them.
Same standard of player.
No.
You know, look, let's not go into that.
That's not even close.
Don't even say it.
Even he will tell you that that's bullshit.
I really enjoy being a prick.
And let's just say this right now, since you brought it up.
Paul Scholes doesn't belong in our conversation.
If he played for West Ham, he wouldn't start ahead of Mark Noble.
It's all right, babe.
It's all right.
You are beautiful, no matter what they say.
Eddie Murphy.
Hercules, Hercules, Hercules.
Yeah, he's good at that.
That's a good one, isn't it?
Come on. Versus Chris Rock. Eddie Murphy Herculees Herculees Herculees yeah he's good at that that's a good one isn't it come on
versus Chris Rock
oh

in his life

all up the
wall
well I think

give Mel B

I caught myself

Eddie, I need money for baby.
Who's your favourite out of them?
If you had to delete one of their lives where Chris Rock or Eddie Murphy,
who are you deleting?
Eddie Murphy.
You delete Eddie Murphy? I couldn't delete Eddie Murphy because Chris Rock or Eddie Murphy, who are you deleting? Oh, Eddie Murphy. You delete Eddie Murphy?
I couldn't delete Eddie Murphy
because of his,
Eddie Murphy the actor.
I've never,
I prefer Chris Rock as a comedian,
but I prefer Eddie Murphy as a...
Do it properly for them.
Thank you, Lee.
Thank you, Lee.
Thank you, Lee.
Eddie Murphy's worth 200 mil.
Chris Rock is worth 100 mil.
Not even close
and that's wrong as well
Eddie Murphy's definitely
got it stuffed away
in a few fucking
he's got a bowling alley
in his house you know
right
does that mean you're worth
more than 200 million
yeah
right
if you've got 200
if you only had
190 million
would you put a bowling alley
in your house
no
I'd love to
Hollywood Bowl's not worth
fucking 200 million
and they've got fucking
bowling alleys but it's a shit hole have you been to Edge Lane recently it looks so sad the Hollywood Bowl's not worth fucking 200 million and they've got fucking bowling alleys
but it's a shit hole
have you been to
Edge Lane recently
it looks so sad
the Hollywood Bowl
on its own
I know this is
such a local reference
there's a shop and park
in Edge Lane
in Liverpool
which is like sort of
it's the gateway
to the city isn't it
you come off the M62
onto Edge Lane
it's that road you drive
onto the city centre
and there's a retail park
and they've knocked everything down
to build a full new retail park
but the owner of Hollywood Bowl has gone
no thank you
we like our bowl on alley just as it is
and they've left that on its own
they've knocked the buildings down around it
so it's just scaffolding
it's really modern isn't it
it's really modern
all the restaurants are really up to date
and then Hollywood Bowl
it's a bit like the house in Up
you know like
where it's just
you know
you're stuck on it
for ages
and Kevin
and like you know
the world has moved
on around this
around this building
yeah
like with the promise
of one day
it being upgraded
I was in there
about a year ago
actually with the kids
and stuff
I remember speaking
to a member of staff
I was like
what's going on with this
and he's like
it's getting a full refurb
and all this
and it's gonna
basically it's just a shell it's gonna be brand new we went in
there about six months later i was like any news they're like they're not really refurb and anymore
i was like no shit mate so that's why i haven't even recovered the fucking pool tables about 10
years that was the best birthday party when you were a kid though hollywood ball birthday it's
where me and jay went on our third date i was about to say one of the worst dates you can have
when you're like,
should we go bowling?
Like,
we needed something to do.
Yeah.
We played pool and she was really like,
what?
Old way, yeah.
It's like four years ago.
Oh,
it wasn't like a situation
where,
because that's,
when you were kids,
you were young kids,
you'd go,
like when you're 14,
you'd go on dates to,
cinema,
all the bowling,
yeah.
Try and get a,
you know,
fingering in around
the back of the machis
at the end
just to wrap the night up
and you were set weren't you
yeah
thanks for listening to the podcast
I
here's a
I really love those places
that are sort of lost in time
and although Hollywood Bowl
at Edgeland
isn't there yet
if that makes it through
another 10 years
it will be noteworthy
you'll be like
mate it's like time travel
it's alright
it's not 10 years right it's like time travel. It's all right. It's not 10 years away.
It's like six months, maybe.
It looks dishevelled.
This is how we lived in olden times.
It looks really dishevelled.
They got Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi.
I'm willing to bet that they haven't got Wi-Fi.
Yeah.
It looks like it hasn't got Wi-Fi.
No way if they got Wi-Fi.
No.
No fucking chance.
I kind of love it for that, though.
I like those places.
I don't think they've got fucking bowling shoes fucking chance I kind of love it for that though I like those places I don't think you've even got fucking bowling shoes anymore
That shit
It's pathetic
That's one of the things that's gone with Covid innit
Bowling shoes
It's just where you're saying it now lad
Yeah
Bowling shoes and blowing on birthday cake
Maybe that spray though was the solution
And we've lost that
That spray
I did a little spray sound

Yes! Alright lids,
got a word, got to have a word for you.
Just call me Joe.
Can you have a word with my ratty cunt of a mate?
I think he's from Liverpool.
This girl started messaging me on Snapchat
and I worked out that she knew my mate.
I messaged him and he asked me if I liked her.
I said, not really, but I'd like a blowjob or a shag.
I also mentioned that she wasn't really that
fit which is uh the opposite of what i had said to her the horrible twat then screenshotted the
message and sent it to her i then received so many angry messages from her that i had to block her
the worst thing is that she lives around the corner from me all the best lids love the pod oh there's a rat in the kitchen and he that is
different levels fucking drop kicking him like proper i don't mean i mean like proper like the
rock get the rock in to drop kick him into next week that is because it's not even like because
i bet that's one of those things where you go ah and i'm gonna do him over and we've all got that
again that makes when you're out in town
and do anything to cock block you
you know what I mean
just because he's just a bit sad
and desperate himself
but that's just
sly
that is genuinely sly
that is king snake
I just feel really sorry
for the girls
being messed around like this
tell me more
new Adam that I've never fucking met i just feel like you know you need to be
honest with women and say what your intentions are from the start and if you know if she's up
for it then great and if she isn't you're all right what's happened
i just think you should respect women thanks for listening to the podcast but like you know What's happened? What the fuck?
I just think you should respect women.
Thanks for listening to the podcast.
No, but like, you know, he's saying to her that he wants something serious just so she'll suck his dick and then he's going to leave her.
And then, and she lives around the corner.
So his plan all along was to shag her and then see it after shagging her.
I reckon, if anything, he's got a way like me.
I'm literally gobsmacked.
Look at your fucking face.
You're such a contrarian.
Just because I thought I knew where this was going to go.
I, can I just say, like, when anyone who's calling him out,
like, what, so you, there was an attractive young lady
and you said you thought she was attractive,
but you said privately to your mate,
you weren't that arse and you were just going to bang her.
Well, that, sir, is disgusting.
And you embarrass me and all men.
Any guy who calls out a bloke for that is a fucking hypocrite
because we've all chatted some private shit.
No?
I'm on this island, am I, guys?
With my fucking act of fry,
you're letting me hang out here on my own?
No, the conversations that lads have i
don't think i don't think lads being lads and chatting is representative of a man's true feelings
about things in general because you can't be like i am i've fallen for this girl she's she might be
the one let's not talk like that it's like oh well you know she's just this thing and you know i'll
have a bit of a laugh and blah blah blah but it's just shady on here like that's like no one imagined oh it makes me feel really uncomfortable yeah the grass is a
knobbed like like never speak to him again and you know jump him with all your mates just
fucking batter and put him in hospital on that yeah is that better yeah yeah just feels like
we're back on track i know a lad who got in quite a bit of trouble because he texted his mate saying,
just sort of like flippant,
like, oh, I've seen this girl's day,
I'd love to shag her, whatever.
And he'd left his Apple Watch at his bed.
She's seen the messages.
And he had to be, like, she texted him like,
you've seen the birds day, you wanted to shag her, did you?
And he was like, oh, oh.
Because obviously she'd seen everything.
She'd seen all the messages.
The only thing I've ever had to come close,
there's two actually,
there's one where I was,
I was texting,
I'd text this bird,
I'd rang this bird to ask her out
and she was like,
I'm going away for,
on holiday
and maybe when we get back
we'll sort something out
and I text my mate,
I don't know where,
she's just,
I don't know where she's at,
she's going away,
I don't know whether she's interested,
blah, blah, blah
and sent it straight to her
and was just folded up with,
yeah, probably ignore that.
That's fine.
And then never spoke to her ever again.
Out of utter shame.
But I'd messaged my cousin and said, you all right?
And he said, no, my head's done it at the moment.
And I said, but why?
And he said, and he texted back. Now, apparently, he texts back, my mum, my dad, my best mate,
and my missus, take your pick as to who's doing me adding the
most i don't know that he texts that because he did not text it to me um so and he does not know
to this day after because this is early days of text messages like he's got he's like did you he
rang me he was like did you get that text and i was like no what text and he was like oh shit because there's no one else he's texting he's picked all the important people in his life
in one hit to slag off he's absolutely detected to at least to at least one of them
today just fucking place that though isn't like the text messages of the worst emails
emails the absolute fucking worst because you can't take them back at least on whatsapp
you can delete for everyone I love that
when you say delete for everyone
and it basically means
someone's going to go
what was that
and you're like
I'll fucking take that
and send them shit on email
that shouldn't have been
fucking sent on email
yeah
I did it
once when we worked
in a bar together
I don't know whether
I was working with you actually
but I think you were
texting me going
are we going out for a bevy or whatever
and I text my boss saying
I'll just ring in sick
it doesn't matter
we just can't go near my work
and she was like
you're not having a night off for a month
yeah
email's so hard
because you do it
now that you do it on your phone
I've put so many kisses
on the end of emails
just like yeah serious
like words
so like yeah
really look forward to speaking to you and then it's gone sometimes I get in the habit of doing just like yeah serious like words so like yeah we really look forward to
speaking to you and then it's gone sometimes i get in the habit of doing a couple you're like
oh it looks such a fucking bellend i do kisses to everyone now yeah yeah i never got the kisses
thing i remember going out with the girl once and she was saying i go i said what why why do you put
those kisses on the end of everything you know this was the text message pre whatsapp pre emojis
universe and
she was like so everyone knows that i'm sound with them so if i leave it off he'll dislike me
mate i'm actually i've left the kiss off so he knows i'm raging with him and i was like
what the fucking hell have i walked into here that's how a lot of people think, though. My first serious girlfriend, who was, by any definition,
an absolute psychopath, used to put five text kisses,
and then she would scale it depending on the mood she was in.
She gave a five-star review.
Oh, my God.
Like, if it was just a normal day, five.
And then if, like, she was like, let's say I was like,
oh, I know somebody was going to do something on Thursday
but could we do
Friday instead
because me and Carl
want to go out for a
drink and there's
40 on Thursday
she'd go yeah yeah
no worries
three
I like that you know
I think that sounds
she's created emojis
for herself
it's like you
you now know how
she's thinking about it
where you'd be sat
there going
she sounds pissed off
but she's given me
five fucking stars here
what the fuck is she
actually
no she never left it
ambiguous like that
that's what I'm saying
that's what you want
that's boss
you want her
you want her to be able to go
alright she thinks I'm a cunt
do you want my fucking number
and see how far you get with this
no not at all
no but she might be on
to sort of
Elon Musk
fine line between
insanity and genius
isn't there
maybe she's cracked it
because even emojis
were created
so you can try and convey tone in what you're doing in your messages but all they are really like i know
there's a lad who's worked for us who's 20 2021 now and for him the thumbs up is a really dismissive
thing to give someone it's like yeah jam whatevs whereas it's like for us it's like yeah good on
you because i lived coming from the david haselhoff generation where a thumb up was like, what?
You know what?
Something to me.
Good!
Yeah, someone's giving you a thumbs up. I love you, marry me!
Yeah!
See, a thumbs up to me is the end of a conversation.
It's just, I can't be arsed.
That was funny.
Message received.
Yeah, I've seen that.
But I'm not replying because
i can't be asked you did it once where i don't think i knew the meaning of the smiley face and
i used it and you went what this is when we were getting the podcast going the one with eyes but
no face oh i sent it to you and you were what do you mean and i just thought it meant i just can't
be asked i've seen your message my eyes yeah yeah looked at your message. The eyes when it's got no mouth.
Yeah.
Yet that means like,
I don't know what I want to say.
Like,
it's like awkward,
isn't it?
Oh,
I just know it meant like,
I'm just,
I'm just,
I'm done with talking about it.
It's also like,
it's like,
have we not just proved the point in this?
Yeah.
Five star anger rating on a text message.
There's no ambiguity whatsoever.
If you've got a three,
you've done something,
you've done something wrong
if you're getting one or none
fuck me
it's not
it's a get round there
and solve the problem immediately
kind of situation
yeah
yeah
yeah I do love you
listen I know the person
who's delivered it
hasn't really you know
set you up for life on this
you know
yeah
but
oh she was right all along
it was all good
was she good.
Was she good in bed?
No.
Oh, well, then, yeah.
What, crazy and not good in bed?
Yeah.
Oh, that's the worst type of crazy. At the end of the relationship, right, this is...
How long were you with her, Adam?
About a year.
That's the whole point of the crazy ones.
Right.
At the end of the relationship, this is...
Mirrors everywhere.
This is almost verbatim.
This is as verbatim as I can remember it.
I'm not going to leave anything out on purpose.
He said to me, so go on, lad, tell us what happened.
Why did you break up?
I went, well, do you know what it was, lad?
Towards the end, she just became a cunt.
And he said, no, she was a cunt at the start.
And I went, yeah, she was actually, wasn't she?
And I've never thought about it since.
Apart from when she turned up at a gig
with her now husband.
And I did a story about the night that we broke up.
And the story was...
I don't want to say it.
You've done it on the pod as well.
You've done it on the pod.
Let's leave it there.
Can I ask a question on that?
She sent a message going,
really nice to see you
at the live show
one kiss
so every
it was no
because this is
I always think about this
about comedy
and I was thinking
about with the Eminem
stuff before
when you
slag someone off
and you've got
no choice
you're going to
bump into them
and you're doing
stuff now
where you go up
on stage and you've got stories where you're going this this dickhead said this to me and blah blah
you now live in a world where that person could legitimately turn up to a show or you could
meet that how's it how is that because i there's things that i'd be like this is a great story to
tell on the podcast but i'm like I could bump into a member of their family
walking in the Asda.
You've basically got to not think about it,
because otherwise it will ruin the prospect.
You've got to just be like, if it happens, it happens,
because otherwise you'd stop doing stand-up.
First of all, if I still know the person,
I won't do the story without going to them
and doing the story. Or if I do, and this counts also if I don't know the person, I won't do the story without going to the arm and doing the story.
Or if I do,
and this counts also,
if I don't know them anymore,
for example,
who we're talking about now,
who I've done jokes about,
I will never name them.
Like,
because then you can get into libel stuff.
I will always make it,
my ex-girlfriend did this.
And then if they get pissed off,
then all they're doing is letting everyone know that it's about them.
I'm not,
I've got several ex-girlfriends,
so you know what I mean?
Like show off.
It could be about,
well,
by several,
I mean two.
It could be about any two of them.
Yeah.
So I don't try and be personal.
And even more so now that i've seen the really how much like to come a bit full circle what was almost earlier the negativity of social media and
people do see what you're saying it does get get to you than that so i try not to be overly personal
uh a lot of the time and i like if a story's about someone i'll make sure
that unless you know you will never know who it's about yeah so i was finding it because
if you ever watched the marvelous mrs mazel and the way she builds their comedy and that
and it's about her mom and dad and then the mom and dad see it and they're horrified i was like
i'll be yeah having that situation we've done it in the podcast like tell the story for my child
and then i go my mom and dad tell me they've watched the podcast that way you're like yeah probably won't be probably won't
be doing that even more with with the podcast because we do so much and it's never planned
it's never scripted we end up saying things and you're like even then like there's elements of
that we you have to just do an edit whereas material is often way more thought through
maybe you ad-lib something but then it's lost in the moment.
The first time you do material.
This will be on YouTube for a long time.
It does make you clock it like, Christ.
The first time you do material,
if you do make a mistake and make it obvious if it is,
it was probably seen by 80 people.
This will be seen by more than that,
six seconds after it goes out.
Yeah.
What did give me a panic attack a couple of weeks ago was we speak about our personal lives quite openly on this podcast like i've had a wank to christina
aguilera's dirty video this year and um the the other week jade was like me missus was like do
you know my nanny's been listening to your podcast? And I talk about Jade on this, talk about
everything. Jade's nan

Bye, Felicia! It's a stand against the system and conditions we have And they've bullied us for years, tried to poison us with fear
But get mad when we react and start hitting them back
You don't understand the pain, they treat us like animals
Then wonder why they see the beast coming out of the cage
Funny how they hate the skin colour of our face
But they secretly embrace the black culture that we made
That's the slang, that's the food, that's the music, the fashion
They ain't gonna give us back nothing, that's usually what happens
Stitched up but see we're used to the pattern, really you are too
Cause you ain't even moved with compassion
Black lives don't matter, when you see the police kill them on the road
Everybody on their phones but they can't get close
If they're black, cause the blast from the police
Strap a lot of their body in the back
In a coffin with a fam, and nobody understands how
Guilty officers are drinking coffee with their fam
Getting off scot-free, so no we've not got peace
i can't breathe you're diseased if the shot got squeezed
if you're black put me in the sewer with the rats
cause your view of me is that they abuse us with a badge
got my eulogy and draft for my funeral it's sad when they care more about the looting
than a human with his last they don't get it
life is so precious but if you're white it's alright in it on both levels
cause you ain't gotta worry about your safety
Like when you leave your house you don't fit if you'll ever make it
Home to your loved ones
Yo, how can I be composed when a brother lost his soul and the look's gone?
Tryna climb the rope but get pushed up
Holding up to hope but you wanna blow like a truck bump
White Christians saying that I should keep quiet
But my house is smoking, they're saving, this ain't a street fire
Hypocrites saying all lives matter
Can't see it, they got equality But our lives, huh?
Look in front of the sky, I don't care I see you in the crowd, there you stare
Don't care, don't care Should I change the style of my hair?
Should I throw my hands in the air? Oh yeah, oh yeah Why do they hate us so much?
Try to balance it with goodness But God they ain't exchanging no love
And they say we're all thugs, cannibals, vicious
They rival with us, see us on the army, start in prison
A man that could be bitter with a system that oppresses us
Yeah I'm British life, I'm tryna live it like the rest of you
But that's impossible when you're never considered equal
Highly probable that we're wrestling with an evil
That only God can expel from the spirit and the hearts of men
We've been locked in a cell in our cities trying to harvest strength
To get up every time we're knocked down
It's so sad when little kids wish they were white and not brown
Or black, but the fact is your skin colour's beautiful
What they say doesn't define you, so don't assume it does
Feel the pain and the rage of Nat Turner
A burden tryna lose the weight like a fat burner with black diamonds
Listen, we ain't going on that slave ship Man'll rock the boat till it capsizes
Bro, don't act righteous You can't kill my soul even if I'm ghost
And if black lime ain't white, watch the history With Britons in the States selling blacks
They robbed our life and our liberty A bigger issue so many are quiet and complicit
with It's been a battle all our lives will fight
until it's victory there needs to be love
But I don't trust the people that just say it
I wait to see what the deeds have become Love to those that rose from concrete the trees
that were sprung And every flower that blossomed from all the
seeds that they crushed deal with police brutality
I know some that are scarred for life and seen some other people lose sanity
I was on the tramp England fans doing monkey chants
Cops confronted and was trying not to punch a man
Get the picture yet, that day I wish I missed a Met
Cause I'm tired of the racist, the statements and the disrespect
You say you don't see colour, well with me, it's the first thing they see
Such a contrast to this effect
I trust God, I know we lose when the love stops
We bleed the same, but what do you do when the blood clots?
No, this ain't black versus white
But it's black and white with Asian nations
Against racism, back to fight
Looking from the sky, I don't care
I see you in the crowd and you stare
Don't care, don't care
Should I change the style of my hair?
Should I throw my hands in the air?
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
