That is not how you start a podcast.
Welcome to the show.
First time watchers and listeners are going,
what is this?
Very good.
Just, you're safe here come on
it's a safe space
that's not necessarily true
not really
how are you
dead good
yeah
really good
I came out without any money
that's
any money or any bank cards
so thank fuck
do you not have
you're cashed up
do you not have to pay on your phone
are you not
you're not an Apple liar
I'm not
I think you can do it
but
I'm I'm 108 mentally and you can do it but I'm
I'm 108
mentally
and that takes a lot
I don't trust it
I can't pay
you can't pay
with a watch
I don't pay for anything
not on my phone anymore
and it's great
because like
well it's
it's a blessing in the case
it feels like you're not paying for it
tip tap
you're just like
oh
wave my phone over there
like there's no way when I wave me phone over there like there's no way
when I wave me phone over there
like yesterday
in the range
when I bought like loads of stuff
to do me house up with
and I just waved me phone
and it was 324 quid
there's no way
that took 324 quid
out of me bank
it was free
yeah
some of it was free
if you have to count it out
what's it
I'm a little bit pinchy
one for me
one for me one for me
one for range
fuck you
so any long time listeners
who listen Jordan Lockdown will know
I like a little bit of a steal
I don't need to steal
I treat it as a game
and it starts at a very low level
my rules with my stealing game
is I normally do it in a service station
and I'll go
sorry if you've heard this before,
but I'll go to the till and I'll have like a can of Coke,
a pack of crisps and a notebook and I'll put the Coke and the crisps on the,
on the till and I'll hold the notebook.
And if the woman in the WH Smiths and the service station goes,
is that notebook from here?
I make sure she sees it.
And if she goes,
is that from here?
Then I go,
Oh yeah,
I'm really sorry.
And I've lost the game.
But if she doesn't say anything,
I just walk out with the notebook.
Stealing in plain sight.
And yesterday.
You've got a notebook
in your underpants.
That looks bad,
doesn't it?
Yeah.
If you've jammed it up somewhere,
that's fucking stupid stealing.
It just looks like
I'll be on my phone
and pretend like,
oh,
I'm so sorry.
Yeah,
that's from here to,
I'm always doing that.
I'm really sorry.
I nicked a wallet
from TK Maxx
the exact same way.
Yes.
Had the wallet in my hand, the fucking
bank card there, paid for some
other shit, and she was just like, hey,
on you go, that's your wallet. I loved it!
Well, yesterday, I stole two curtain poles and a
rake. What?
Two curtain poles and a rake?
How in the... Mate, whoever is
working in the range yesterday, and saw
him load up the fucking
from the trolleyey holding a rake
like oh yeah
these are
these are my curtain rails
and rake
I just carried them
fucking hell
that's honestly
not concentrating
is it
how did you do it
because players
gone play
and haters
gone hate
but how can you
smashed it
mate
are you sure
it wasn't one of them
you know like
who's it not alright of them, you know, like...
Who's it not all right to steal off, you know?
When you're at Sainsbury's or the range or fucking home and back.
No, she wasn't one of them.
Yeah.
In fact, I'm pretty sure...
What?
Okay, good.
I'm pretty sure she was a manager.
Oh, mate.
I'm pretty sure.
Because she had a slightly different outfit on.
Take her down.
Oh, fuck her then. S slightly different outfit on oh fuck her then
slightly different outfit on from everyone else
you know when you're like
you're the captain you
she's either the manager or the goalkeeper
she's in a position where she should know
that a fucking rake
and some curtain poles is not like
here's what I did
I was on my own
if Carl was with me
I'd have got two trolleys yesterday
because I got that much stuff.
I got, like, two lots of new bedding.
I got two sets of curtains,
one for the patio bit, one for me front.
You're sorting out your life, babe.
I got loads of cushions.
He's got new clothes,
and then he went out drinking,
and that's over now.
The part of the regeneration of Adam Rowe
is now at home.
He's getting plants.
I just want to change the decor. I do want to change the decor i do want to change the decor
because she's gone now and i can make it look exactly how i want it to look the fucking dream
oh i've never had this like control over a house though because i've always lived i lived in my
dad's then i lived in my auntie's and i got no say on how anything was decorated
and he was like we're not fucking decorating anything no fuck that and then I moved
back in with my dad
then I moved in
with my ex
and I
because I was away
so often
and she'd moved
from outer Liverpool
to inter-Liverpool
to live with me
I was just trying
to be sound
I was like
you can decorate
the house
however you want
babe
you make it look
however you want
and I've got a
fucking yellow bedroom
it's a fucking nightmare
but now
that literally happened
four weeks before
the end of lockdown
as well didn't it
yeah it's not like that's from three years ago years ago yeah but like now i'm trying like i'm
going like in the living room i'm going for like a charcoal wall i'm going i'm going dark gray i'm
going like subtle lighting to just pop it up i'm making it look like a like a little a little man
sex dungeon right that was really like chains on the. The young grown-up until right at the end, you know.
I want it to really, really offset each other
and just be a lovely light, a mood lighting
so I can crack one out watching my 50-inch TV.
I'm going to fuck a woman.
In the lounge?
Yeah.
Right.
When you start dating someone,
you try and fuck them in every room,
but you try and complete your house.
That covered under the stairs is always the last one to do, but...
I just feel like...
You must have shagged your missus in every room in your house.
Well...
No, because it's not my house, is it?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Be respectful.
In her house, yeah.
Be respectful.
Yeah.
Yeah, but it's a ball lake eventually when you're like,
right, two to do, pantry, conservatory.
And now you're like, oh, there's not even fucking curtains in the...
Garden as well.
...in the conservatory.
Got a garage and it leaks.
That's a nice little effect, isn't it?
Oh, the garage.
Are you finished?
No, that's the roof.
Oh, fuck, I love banging you here.
I can read the gas meter.
Yeah!
Oh, young!
I put the heating on the other night for the first time.
Oh, right, babe.
Oh, my God.
You knew when I fucking
come round then.
It's frabs, innit?
Yeah, I'm playing
PlayStation with him
and my hands are like
fucking ice.
Yeah.
I fucking ate it.
This is,
just be aware of this,
when people can't work
their own thermostat,
work out what is
a normal human
fucking temperature.
Oh, so I don't know
how to do that.
What I do is I just turn the heating on,
and then it does what it does.
Right.
It's either on or it's off.
Oh, my God.
See, I hate the heating.
Or it's off.
I'd rather get in bed.
Yeah, but my house is just a bit chilly, isn't it?
Yeah, downstairs.
No, I get it.
You can't have the heating on when you're in bed.
Get a proper duvet.
Put some fucking socks on.
Got a new duvet.
Got two.
But, man, people can't do
the fucking temperature
you know you're
around your mates house
going this isn't fun
why is it freezing
yes
we've got a mate
Laura and her sister
have got a mate called Kerry
and she
doesn't feel temperature
she's like come round
and I'll do dinner
and it's fucking Baltic
like late August
it's fucking cold in September
I'm not into it
so good I like it it's changing isn't it. I'm not into it. So good, I like it.
It's changing, isn't it?
So I got myself some pillows for the couch.
I got some new, like, big pillows for the bed,
but I also got some, like, decorative pillows as well.
Like, that night, got a throw to match the pillows I got for the bed.
Oh, got some charcoal bedding.
Got a new rug for the living room.
Got some nice curtains.
Charlie Charcoal.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm going charcoal
everywhere the whole house is just gonna be the whole house is gonna look like this
imagine the studio in the house don't do that oh boy so it the trolley was so full like normally
when and they're very like shallow tills at the range so you know like when you do a big shop in
asda what do you mean shallow tills right you know when you do a big shop in Asda? What do you mean, shallow tills? Right, you know when you do a big shop at Asda
and you get to the conveyor belt?
And what you do is you empty your whole trolley
onto the conveyor belt
and then you put your trolley at the end
and it's now empty
and you can start putting stuff back in.
Yes, mate.
Right, well, at the range, there's no conveyor belt.
It's just a little tiny bit.
So I'm literally full of stuff.
So what I was doing was just one by one
giving her stuff to scan
and then she'd put her stuff to scan and then
she'd put it to the end
and then I started
putting it back in the trolley
so she was just like
trusting me
to just give her
everything that was
in the trolley
and I just never
gave her the curtain poles
I never gave her the rake
and then I just walked
do do do
I do do do
I do do do do do
do do do
is that your stealing
is that the stealing sound
do do do do do
I'm a thieving fucker
do do do do you've done the same in B&M didn'tdo-do-do. I'm a thieving fucker.
Do-do-do-do-do. We've done the same in B&M,
haven't we, last week?
We did, yeah.
We bought a bin.
We bought two bins.
And you put my new bed in the bin.
And I put the new bed in the bin
and gave her the bin to scan.
Yeah, that's exactly what you should do.
Professional thief.
It's plausible deniability, isn't it?
What were you like?
You've got to be able to believe when you go,
and this is where your acting skills come in.
Like, no, no, no, if you just go, no, no.
You're like, no, you can't act.
Oh, madam, I am so sorry.
Oh, it has been quite the morning.
The curtain poles are fucking 300 centimetres long,
so they're sticking out the trolley.
300 centimetres long.
I just haven't. They're literally, they're hanging out the trolley. 300 centimetres long. They just haven't.
They're literally hanging out
the trolley. Like, they're massive.
So she should have gone,
can I scan them, please? And she just didn't.
And this is a manager? I think so.
Ah, fucking hell.
I mean, would you give a shit
if you just worked there? You'd be like, I can't be fucking bothered.
Each curtain pole was £30 each, and the rake
was £12. So, quid in my back,
Jacksy.
Good.
Do you know this goes on the internet?
It does.
Yeah.
It's all for comedy.
What range was it?
What range was it?
Scam,
wasn't it?
Scam range.
The scam range,
yeah.
The scam range.
You know,
buying all this stuff,
do you know what is happening politically?
Have you just stopped checking your phone?
What's, have you just gone, your phone what's what do you mean
have you just gone
fuck it
you're just going into
a shutdown with
spending
is that what you
yeah well
I haven't even got it yet
but today I'm getting
the money from my tour
which finished in March
right okay good
so I've got a bit of money
that I need to do
my house up
because at the minute
it looks like
a couple's house
that the man
let the woman decorate.
Yeah.
And I don't want it to look like that.
Or a house.
I don't know what you mean.
Yeah, yeah.
And I just want it to look
a bit more me.
I need to start living my truth
and I'm not going to be able
to do that until I decorate it.
Do you know what I mean?
It's amazing.
I just want it to be.
But I think you're the only
comic
comic
in the country
who this weekend
is like
right off to the range let's fucking decorate
every comic's going fucking hell
there's gonna be no gigs
everyone's shitting it collectively
and me and you are like we've got a fucking
hit YouTube show
I'm gonna carry on gigging
and I've said this a hundred times I'm not
stopping gigging I will just call said this a hundred times, I'm not stopping gigging,
I will just call them protests,
and you can't,
by international law,
stop someone peacefully protesting,
I'm going to protest,
through the medium of stand-up comedy,
whether that's indoor or outdoors,
it's fucking happening,
the gigs will be happening,
they'll be advertised on the air,
on my Twitter,
my Instagram,
Boris Johnson,
Matt Hancock,
and Rishi Sunak,
can suck my average sized pipe honestly
I tell you what
when he's got this
this whole house
decorated
then he's taking down
the government
he's going to have
charcoal here
charcoal there
and then when that's finished
got some nice candles up
do you know what I mean
some potpourri
then I'm going to fuck up
the Tory government
how are you
the thing they can do
is take the licences away
mate I'm not
and I'm just devil's advocate
in here
they can't take my licence away
from having gigs in me back home.
Easy, cheap.
I don't know, back home.
You've got to sort your garden first,
get some nice charcoal,
get a charcoal lawn,
just a charcoal wall,
charcoal flowers,
charcoal audience.
This is my worry about this whole call to arms.
Mate, I'll take the gigs, I'll be there.
But I'm not fucking
running them
because that's a different
fine
what I feel so much
for licensed premises
that if they're about
to shut them down
for three weeks
I'm not expecting
licensed premises
to risk anything for me

Yeah.
Oh, that's good.
Oh, it's a different feeling.
I want to not do any more podcast.
I want to just go and arrange this gig.
Guys, we've only done a 15-minute episode.
We've got shit to do.
Are they actually going to shut us down here?
Are they about to tell us that all hospitality venues are closed down because it
feels like this government do this sly thing which is actually quite clever they just sort of tell
everyone without telling anyone they sort of leak all their policies and then just sort of gauge the
boot off yeah yeah and they're like yeah well you well, you know. Well, I did, I was,
so we're recording this on Friday the 9th of October,
but it doesn't go out, obviously.
It'll go on Patreon either tomorrow or Sunday,
and then it goes public on Monday.
I did Hot Water last night.
So I did Hot Water Comedy Club last night,
I'm there tonight, and I'm there again tomorrow.
There was, so Paul Smith was comparing,
Jack Carroll, who was done Britain's Got Talent,
and Live at the Apollo,
opened the show and I closed the show. Now that's a profile bill. It's Paul Smith, it's me, and it's Jack Carroll. The only one who's been on telly is not me or Paul Smith. Do you know what
I mean? He's done the big TV shows. There was 25 people in the audience and there was like 80 or
something booked and most of them didn't turn up
because they thought things were already shut
because the amount of confusion and misinformation
being leaked by this government
and perpetuated by the media
is A, scaring people,
and B, it's making people go,
oh, it won't be open.
It can't be open.
It can't be open because everywhere's shut, isn't it?
Isn't the whole thing shut?
It's so confusing, to the point where the prime minister is so easily discombobulated I know that
can't even explain his own bastard rules he has no idea in those interviews when he's like
oh someone tell me about Leeds you're like it's a fucking travesty mate if you're gonna be cunts
about it at least be simple with your country don't get fucking lost in a web of your own stupidity.
I don't think it's him.
I think there's people behind him.
No shit, mate.
He's got the spider army behind him, hasn't he?
No, but I don't think he's even making any decisions.
No, he isn't.
But the thing is, and we all know that,
everyone knows that the Prime Minister doesn't make decisions.
He has to listen to everyone around him who looks into it more but he should be able to explain what these clear rules are when a when a journalist
is going right so you're not allowed to mix with the households but can a mother meet her daughter
in the park they can't but they can both go to park separately like all this ambiguity and all
this fucking nonsense he's it's his job to lead it's
not his prime minister he's a figurehead yeah it's not necessarily his job to make decisions
but it's his job to be able to explain the decisions and explain the policy and explain
the rules he's a leader or at least he's fucking supposed to be now he's supposed to be able to go
watch what i do look at what i'm doing and what i'm telling you to do that's what you do and then
his fucking dad's walking around fucking Tesco
with no mask on and everyone's like,
wasn't your dad walking around Tesco?
Oh, well, I can't control my father.
Oh, but we've got to all control everyone in our lives.
You're telling pubs they've got to control people,
but you can't control anyone.
Also, masks and restrictions is great.
Stop closing businesses down, you fucking maniacs like when children have
obviously got to go to school and and people have got to go to work but even though they're the
higher infection rates they're literally traced back through science to be the cause of a lot of
these infections we've got to shut down the hospitality sector, where's the fucking science
behind these decisions?
Well, I've, so I've...
Crippling.
It's starting to get, I stopped looking into stuff a few months ago because it was just
driving me mad.
I've looked into this.
So basically, the reason they're shutting down the hospitality sector, as far as I can
tell, again, if you're not a regular listener to this, don't take anything we say seriously.
Don't take this as advice.
This is two fucking idiots just spilling out their opinions
that are ill-researched.
However, as far as I can tell, they can't have both.
So it's not that the hospitality sector is causing more infections
than the schools are.
But having both of them open is causing a problem.
So they're going to shut the one that is easiest to shut.
That could be a perception.
It's necessity, isn't it?
There's no proof.
It's necessity.
There's literally no proof.
I'm not saying I agree with that, but that's their approach.
So essentially, the hospitality sector might be causing 20% of these infections
and the education sector is causing 80%
of them. Let's say they're the numbers. What they're essentially saying is, well, if we just
take that 20% away, the hospitals will be able to cope. So although the schools is causing more of
a problem, we'd rather shut bars than we would shut schools. So that's why we're closing that.
It's so short-sighted economically. And was like come on tories you don't give a
fuck about people you've never given a fuck about people don't pretend now you really give a fuck
about people but that that the problem is with like well you can't shut schools god forbid you
shut schools temporarily they're completely funded like they will be there those institutions will be
there and obviously there is a knock-on effect on the education of children,
but children are pretty, like, not flexible is not the right word.
They can bounce back from change.
Like, obviously, you don't want schools shut for a whole year,
but some businesses will not be there.
Like, if you're talking about the long-lasting effects of a recession,
shut things down that
can't come back schools are publicly funded they will come back and like this is my big worry with
shutting these shutting hospitality down it'll be like oh it's a circuit breaker we'll just do it
for two weeks well they only did the 10 p.m curfew fucking recently they cannot know yet if that has
had like how can they know for sure in a week and
a half if that's having a negative or positive effect it's where's the science back to because
so they they'll they'll shut us down for two or three weeks and then maybe go oh we need to just
keep you shut down what on a fucking whim we've sort of touched on this before the last time it
was fucking are we going to open are are we going to close, or whatever.
They can't do this.
And they certainly, the hypocrisy of it,
like, at the minute, I think it's,
look, again, I haven't really looked,
I haven't got the exact fucking figures,
but I don't need them, because I'm not running the fucking country.
I host a podcast.
I think Westminster has got a much higher,
like, the borough of Westminster,
which is in central London, has got a much higher R rate
and COVID rate than the North West.
But that's staying open and the North West is shut.
And it just, it leads into so many conspiracy theories,
conspiracy theorists' ideas of like the managed decline
that Margaret Thatcher wanted to put in place,
nearly spat on the floor then, of Liverpool back in the 80s
when she was like, we should leave Liverpool to rot away.
Just take their funding away.
They're never going to vote for us anyway.
It fucking stinks of it.
It's, oh, well, we'll experiment with the North.
Let's close all them down and see if that helps.
And if it doesn't,
if it does,
then we'll put it in place down here.
And if it doesn't,
then we'll keep the economy going down here.
I'm not.
I've got so many friends who work in the hospitality sector.
I've got friends who own comedy clubs, obviously.
One of my best mates is the owner of Hot Water Comedy Club.
He's the most calm, collected, intelligent, ferocious businessman person
I've ever met in my life, and I've never seen him
and heard him sound so nervous as I have in the past few weeks
because he's built a business up from literally fuck all
and open Mike and I's on a Sunday in a nightclub
to a multi, multi-million pound business.
And he, Hot Water Comedy Club,
compared to every other comedy club in the UK,
bar and maybe the comedy store, is in the healthiest position.
There's comedy clubs much more vulnerable than Hot Water.
And I know for a fact, if this lockdown goes on for six months
or whatever the prospective date was that he gave us a few weeks ago hot water is at risk of not being
there so if they're not going to be there the frog and bucket's not going to be there
comedian might not be there the glee clubs might not be there there's so many the industry will
be wiped out and if the government are going to close them or put such restrictions in place that
mean people aren't going to go to them they've got to financially support them because it's so short-sighted to go well everyone's just gonna have to retrain
retrain as what because every other industry is going to be massively overpopulated there's not
going to be any jobs we can't all go and get a job in the easiest thing to get a job in is a bar
that's where people normally go when you come out of work i'll just go and work in bars or
supermarkets for a bit there's not going to be any jobs there because that's where everyone else is
going to be you can't just dismiss millions of people in the entertainment
hospitality industry and then go,
oh, well, just go and be a carpet fitter.
Everyone's going to have a carpet next week.
They're not going to want a new carpet for five
years. Charcoal as well.
Charcoal. You'll not be able to
find charcoal carpets. You'll have to paint your own, babe.
I don't know what the best thing to do is.
I just know that what the government is doing
is wrong and every time they come out with a policy,
I was saying this to Carly today,
and we've said it on the mental health episode of this.
If you announce a government policy
and a dickhead driving in his fucking Kia Sportage
to his fucking studio in Runcorn can go,
I can see an immediate problem with that.
Then why can't the health secretary?
We're going to put a curfew in place.
And yes, we want every pub to, it has to shut at 10.
Is he going louder?
That was the most loud I've ever known you.
I think it might be the new mics, but I just went,
oh, Jesus, let's shut all the pubs at 10 o'clock.
That's really good, actually,
because people get more drunk after 10
and they start hugging and kissing.
And that's the thing.
It's the time.
That's why it's spreading. We'll shut
them at ten. What? No, people
won't start drinking earlier in the day. Don't be ridiculous.
This is Britain. They wouldn't possibly go into each
other's homes and not listen to any
restrictions. We've told them not to.
We'll put them all on the exact same
bus home.
That'll be good. All of them. A huge
taxi rank at
fucking ten to 10.
What a great idea.
Because the people in power are career politicians.
Do you know what it needs?
It needs an Ali G.
It needs someone.
He's gone mental.
It needs someone.
Keep it real.
Who actually knows working class normal life.
And who isn't trained in how to be a politician.
Are you standing for parliament?
This is it.
I'd fucking love.
I'd love to just be like,
I'd love to be like the little caretaker manager.
Because you know like when a team's fighting relegation.
Sorry, go on.
You know when a Premier League team's fighting relegation
and they just bring someone in to just get them out.
Sam Allardyce.
You look like Sam Allardyce as well.
You used to get called Sam Allardyce.
Oh, this is amazing. Guys, let's get Sam Allardyce in. I'll take over. Fuck off the Tories. Sam Allardyce. You look like Sam Allardyce as well. You used to get called Sam Allardyce. Oh, this is amazing.
Let's get Sam Allardyce in.
I'll take over.
Fuck off the Tories.
Fuck the Tories off.
Get 28-year-old Scouse lad in.
We need to keep this team in the Premier League, right?
We need to keep this country in the Premier League.
I mean, it isn't,
but we need to keep this country in League Two.
We need to keep this country up, right?
So you bring me in, someone,
because I'd have so much more respect for these politicians
if they weren't so trained in how to dodge questions when they get asked a question like
well you know we can't really talk about that so i'll just talk about this other thing that i've
prepared and practiced in the mirror you just need someone to come out because we the country is quite
empathetic towards this pandemic i think i think they could be if it was done the right way there's
not really a country in the world who's smashed it.
Everyone's got problems.
It's a global thing.
But we're doing really badly, really, really badly.
And watching Boris Johnson or fucking Hancock or Sunak,
any of them, come on the news and go,
look, right, and Dominic Cummings is there going,
what are you doing?
Just shut up, Dominic.
I can't be arsed anymore.
I need to tell the truth.
Look, we haven't got a fucking...
Is this Adam Rowe MP?
Yeah.
Yes!
So just go on the news and go,
look, we don't fucking know what we're doing.
We're fucked.
We didn't know how to handle it.
We've tried one way.
It didn't work.
We've tried the other way.
It didn't work.
We've tried to do half and half.
It didn't work.
We don't really know what we're doing.
We're trying our fucking best here.
We're just going to have to shut everything for a few weeks. really know what we're doing. We're trying our fucking best here.
We're just going to have to shut everything for a few weeks.
We know it's a nightmare.
We know it's going to be a fucker.
It's going to be hard to not go and see your mariner.
But we really, really, really need to just try this for a month.
Let's just get everyone in for a month.
No, is this you talking or them?
Me.
What are you talking about shutting things for?
I'm not saying that's my part.
I'm just saying just make a decision and stop going,
well, we might meet. Just might Just go look We're really sorry
We need to try this way
And in a month
If it hasn't worked
Then we'll try the other way
But we can't do half and half anymore
Because it's just not fucking working
Oh
Order
Can I just do my
Order
Order
Order
Order
Let's have a referendum
Literally
I was behind you
Every step of the way
You were swearing on the Andrew Marr show
I was having a fucking great time
And voting Tory lid And then you were like We on the Andrew Marr show I was having a fucking great time and voting Tory lid
and then you were like
we'll have a bit of a
shut down
like don't
stop shutting things down
I don't want to
shut things down
do you want to know
what I'd actually say
listen guys
right look
we fucked this
it's really bad
we're one of the worst
countries in the world
we don't really know
what we're doing
and it's about time
now that we just go
do you know what
some of your nans
are going to die
but let's get back to pop world.
Imagine.
Yes, mate.
Isn't it?
Look.
That's what I wanted to hear.
Look.
See you, Beryl.
We know your nan's at risk.
We know she's fat.
We know your grandad's got asthma.
But at the end of the day,
tell them to stay in the fucking cupboard
and let's go and have some Jager bombs.
That would be my government policy.
Imagine, imagine if you got into power,
into parliament.
Yeah.
Imagine the smear campaign on you.
Yeah.
How long would it fucking last?
Imagine what he'd dig up.
Imagine.
It would be unbelievable.
Oh my God.
No wonder he wants everything open.
He always wants it open too soon, doesn't he?
Like fucking McDonald's in Penrith.
There's some fucking you pissing on midgets on the front of the sun.
The fucking Labour Party retweeting Keir Starmer like,
fucking hell, lad, we're in Penrith.
Just look, I am not actually totally against a full shutdown for a month.
I'm also not totally against a full open.
Do you know what I'm against?
This half-arsed, let's see what I'm against? this half arsed
let's just try and do this
and that and whatever, just make a fucking decision
just pick a go
and stick with it for a month, and if it doesn't work
then just do the other one
just stop, and can I counter
that with, I get what you mean
because that's fatigue
with the flip-flopping, that's annoying
stop shutting businesses down.
It's fucking wrong.
There is a pandemic.
I get it.
Or if you're going to shut them down.
There's restriction.
Order.
Financially support them.
Order.
Order.
Order.
Stop shutting businesses down.
Put restrictions on.
Ask people to be sensible.
Put rules in place.
Ask the vulnerable to grow the fuck up and look after themselves.
Like, I get it.
It's not great.
But pushing a whole country into a recession is a fucking nightmare.
And I don't know what the legalities are of making a business close.
Like, at what point do you infringe on fucking rights?
Never mind, I'd rather do it two weeks than this, two weeks than that.
Like, do all of the rules.
Let's make it, like, coherent if we can.
But stop closing businesses down.
It's insane.
I don't think any of it's legal.
You know, if I paint protests,
you know, if they turn up and they're like,
here's a 10 grand fine.
I'd be after me.
It's going to go.
Are you all right, mate?
I thought Adam was going to be like
you know in our paint protest
my dad worked in paint
his dad worked in paint
he fucking painted
the fucking wigwam
if our paint protest
charcoal
charcoal cathedral
the neutral cathedral
the priest is like,
I fuck loads of lads in this.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Narthy bitch.
If they turn up
and they're like,
oh, you can't do this protest.
Nah, nah, nah.
It's clearly a stand-up gig.
And we'll be like,
fucking isn't me?
Look at the poster.
It says protest.
If they turn up
and give me a 10 grand fine,
I'd be so happy about it.
I haven't got 10 grand.
I haven't got 10 grand
to pay a fine
and i wouldn't pay it because there's absolutely fucking zero chance that that 10 grand fine stands
up in court i'm telling you all these laws that they've passed have not gone through the law
making process a government doesn't just have the power to go oh here's a new law we've decided this
is a new law not how it works they sort of do at the moment they've got they've got
no they don't
like OJ
they have
they've got emergency COVID
but it's massively undemocratic
yeah
and exactly
and we live in a democratic society
there's no
I'd wipe my arse with the 10 grand fine
take me to court
it'd be great publicity
it'd be fucking
can you imagine the publicity for this podcast
that'd be like
it'd be worth 10 grand
mate
it'd be worth 10 grand
that'd be
I'd be Johnny Cochran
you could be OJ
you can be Rob Kardashian
yeah
put gloves on and that
yeah
I feel like Rob Kardashian
surrounded by fucking
mental women
mate
what
your politics
is exciting
borderline confusing
definitely loud
but don't try and pay
a 10,000 pound fine
I'm not gonna pay
with stolen rakes
and fucking
poles from the range.
I'm going to wipe my arse with it.
I need a shite, actually.
Can we have a break?
All right, okay, good.
What a beautiful segue.
Touché.

Ben Kingsley.
I miss dancing.
You sound like an old widow.
I know.
I do.
I'd love to. I just want to go dancing again with my Frank.
We'll meet again.
But the irony is...
Frank used to take me dancing on Thursdays.
Now he's gone.
It's so true.
That's how I feel about pills and drum and bass.
How like, he died 20 years ago.
And sometimes I go to the ballroom and I have a lime and soda and think of him.
I want to do that, except with ecstasy and drum and bass.
It was so much more romantic how, like, our grandparents used to meet, weren't they?
You know what I mean?
Like ballroom dancing and that.
Yeah.
Do you reckon they were as dirty as we are?
Did your grandparents meet ballroom dancing?
My nan told me that she met my grandad at ballroom dancing.
Your nan's just slag, isn't she, though?
What?
What the fuck?
Dude!
Dude!
That is too much!
Mate, we'll do mum jokes.
We're not doing fucking nan jokes.
Char!
Obsess me!
Nasty Carlos
Who the fuck
Has ever said that
So seriously
No lad though
Your nan's a
Fucking slag mate
What are you saying
That to each other
She sucks off bus drivers
For Werther's Originals mate
She's a fucking
Mega rider
What are you saying
That to each other
About six times a day
Mate If there's a nan Ever rider. We say that to each other about six times a day. Mate.
If it's not, I never get...
Comes up.

You keep...
Keep my nan out of this.

I even get called a Tory by Steph Johnson,
although it fucking rankles
Why?
You keep my
She's a saint
Is she though?
She was
Do you reckon?
Nana if you can hear me
Now she's a real saint
No nan's a saint
They're all horrible racists
Yeah
Your nan is a racist
And she took some dick in her time
Is as a slaggy racist
I can't do it She's an angel How long did she live? and she took some dick in her time. This is a slaggy racist.
I can't do it.
She's an angel.
How long did she live?
How old was she when she went?
Oh, she's gone.
She's gone.
Yeah, but how old was she?
Oh, is it fine if she's gone?
Yeah.
She was an angel before she died.
No, she's in.
How old was she when she died?
92.
92.
I don't.
Don't say anything about dicks.
Don't say slacks. For 76 years, she was taking pipe.
Oh!
Legally.
I'm sick of you, bitch.
Char!
I'm sick of you, nasty bitch.
76 years of pipe.
Yeah.
You fucking horrible rats.
She was, though.
I'd rather you did jokes about my grandad taking fucking pipe.
Yeah, but he didn't.
He was piping you, man.
He laid the pipe.
You're awful people.
Do you reckon he was doing mad shit back then?
No, she's off.
I'm ring-fencing her.
Do you reckon he was 30?
Do you reckon he was 69?
No, they weren't even kissing with tongues.
Tongues?
They were literally like like I like you
would you dance
it was a kiss
and let's put you
on the barbecue
alright Danny Mac
bit of wordplay there
that's got two meanings
yeah they were just
you know
they had to just dance
one way on a
on a dance floor
yeah
you know at the ballroom and then they'd see a girl and, they had to just dance one way on a dance floor. Yeah. You know, at the ballroom.
Yeah.
And then they'd see a girl and they'd have to write to her father.
And then a postman would have to take the telegram round to her father.
He'd be like, yes, you can.
Stop.
Yeah.
Take her for a dance.
Stop.
Then he had to go back to the dance floor and she'd be like, would you join me in a tango?
Yeah, that's all in the public eye.
But when they got back do
you reckon she got stuffed or what smoking the pole no mate no mate i think it was like four
dates before they even like held hands legally yeah but i mean it was like sharia law but you
know no but like you know once they were married and that, do you reckon they ever got fucking, were they getting volleyed and that?
Because sometimes now I sleep with a girl
and I feel like I've accidentally walked into an MMA bout,
do you know what I mean?
Because they fucking go for it, some of these women.
Things have changed.
Yeah.
Television has evolved, like, it's different now, isn't it?
Yeah.
But do you not reckon, like, nannas,
like, they can't all have been all just,
no, just missionary, please, and then I'll get back on with the dishes. It can't have all been that. I reckon some nannas, like, they can't all have been all just, no, just missionary, please,
and then I'll get back on with the dishes.
It can't have all been that.
I reckon some nannas like getting fucking, you know,
arm bath and that.
Well, yours did.
Mine just literally was like handshake
and a thorough fucking insemination.
Handshake with what?
No, they didn't.
Everyone's had sex
Or everyone who's got
No I'm not talking about
I know that
I'm here aren't I
I get that
I'm not just
Just talking about like
Fucking
Do you know what I mean
Bang brothers over here
Hanging off the ceiling
Like do you think right
Your nan
When they all came back
From the fucking war
It was just gang bangs
Everywhere
When you got back from the war
We'll meet again

You've really upset me.
Oh, ill me.
When did it get freaky?
What year?
The 70s.
Oh, is it?
You said that with loads...
60s?
Summer of love?
No, but they were all stoned.
They couldn't do mad shit.
Do you know the summer of love,
when people say that shit?
Do you know your parents were still in fucking Dovcat
in the summer of love?
It wasn't like...
Dovcat.
Dovcat.
Dovcat.
Was that 1969?
It was about there.
There you go, 69.
You must have fucking loved it.
All right.
Is that why they call it 69ing? Yeah. Yeah. All right. Is that why they call it 69?
Yeah, yeah, it is.
Why are you going so smutty?
I'm not.
When do you think it was...
Do you think the Summer of Love was just everywhere?
Even like Moscow and shit?
I think it was just quite specific to some parts of the States
and maybe, you know, London.
I don't think in Preston, Lancashire, I was like,
Oh, man, it's just free love, man. Oh, let's, you know, London. I don't think in Preston, Lancashire, I was like, oh, man, it's just free love, man.
Oh, let's, you know, bomb by the Ribble.
I love the River Ribble.
When I drive past it, it always looks lovely.
Have you had a coffee as well?
Where's your ADD going?
I like the Ribble as well.
Your Nana's a slag, 1969 was dirty,
and I like the River Ribble.
Welcome to the Northern Nobberobbags podcast All I'm saying is
I don't think your nan is as innocent
As you'd like to think
I think we all have this sort of perception
That our nans are these innocent angels
Well you clearly don't
Because he knows something about your nan
No he's just being
He's just being lads lads lads isn't he
Your nan's just like
But in reality
Yeah yeah yeah
She is a mess
No but she got fucking plastered didn didn't she, by his grandad?
Yeah.
And great grandad.
Yeah.
Not nice.
Question?
Oh, sorry, I just threw up because you were talking about my beautiful Nana.
All right, lads, this feels...
Was your hand fit, yeah?
Oh, shut up, man!
She's a fucking saint!
Nana, if you can hear me
I regret every bad thing that he said
Do you have a picture of her?
Shut up
Do you reckon you're shagging heaven?
What?
Have you been pointing up to her?
Will you get the mic near your fucking head?
Have you been pointing up to her?
Yeah
What do you reckon she's doing now?
I don't
I'm just doing that for effect I'm just doing that for end ups i don't think she's up
there well she's not an angel or a saint she's dead but let's not besmirch her memory like you
think she got besmirched no i don't yeah i think if there is a heaven you've got a bang in heaven
haven't you yeah i think heaven is your whatever your if there is a heaven i think it's whatever
your idea of heaven is.
Yeah.
What my, as we've said it before,
my idea of heaven gets me thrown out of heaven.
Why?
Because there's bare big titty flapping in my face.
Do you know what I'm saying?
God, look, no, right.
God loves a motorboat.
Yeah.
God. He knows the score.
God is, God's actually sound.
Do you know what I mean?
That's the most scouse thing ever.
If you'd like to study philosophy and theology
at the University of Liverpool...
No, no, lads.
Hey, God is sound.
He's alright.
He invented Gary's, didn't he?
He did.
He invented man who invented Gary's.
So fucking get on it, lads.
How do we all know?
Right.
Because God... As far as we know god wrote the bible or told people to write it no inspired it didn't he he didn't write
the bible inspired it inspired other people to write it divine inspiration sort of how do we know
that that wasn't the devil right oh my god and he's like made everyone be like there's these
rules and that god just made
us all was like yeah you don't want to fuck each other have some fucking limo and that there you go
on earth there's loads of trees no i'd love have a good time right and he's like yeah i'm done i'm
fucking out i don't even need to keep an eye on you where does the devil come in what where does
the devil come in because the devil is god's brother and he's fuming because God robbed
his idea
to make a sick gaff
like the earth
and the devil's like
nah I'm fucking ruined
I'm gonna make them
all think
that if they do
everything God said
is sound
that they'll end up
in hell
with me
that's not true
God's just sweet
God's just
stoned as fuck
just
he's forgot about us
because time works
differently for him
so like the
millions of years there's been since he made it he's just been us because time works differently for him so like the millions of
years there's been since he made it he's just been like yeah i'll put dinosaurs there for the
bear and then it'll blow up and it'll lead to humans and that and he's just having he's just
having a little spliff he's sat he's sat on a beanbag chair and he's just like oh how sound am
i i made that sick gaffer all them humans that are having a fucking boss time now.
They've got ale.
They've got fucking...
Boobs.
They've got, yeah.
You know,
Caribbean enthusiasm,
good sitcom.
They're like,
that film's a good...
I've boxed them off there.
I've inspired all of it.
Chocolate eclairs.
Chocolate eclairs.
Smarties.
It's just like, oh.
It's just your list of things
that God gave us.
Caribbean enthusiasm and smarties. It's just like, oh. Is this your list of things that God gave us? Curb your enthusiasm and smarties.
He's like, Toy Story 2.
No, right.
God did, right.
He gave us your dinosaurs, and then he left us alone and forgot about us.
But he did write a sub-clause in Toy Story 2, Smarties, and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
He hasn't forgot about us,
but he's just like, they'll be silent.
But that amount of time,
although it's millions of years to us,
it feels like it's been about half an hour to him.
Yeah, yeah.
So he's just watched one episode of Emmerdale.
Oh, he's with Emmerdale.
My nana banging.
He's watched one episode of Emmerdale.
And it's coming to the end now,
and he's like, fucking Zach Dingle, brat him.
And now he's going to come back in a bit,
and he's going to look and be like, what the fuck's going on here? And then he'll be fuming with the devil, and then he'll come to the end now and he's like fucking Zach Dinglebrat him and now he's going to come back in a bit and he's going to look at me like
what the fuck's going on here
and then he'll be fuming
with the devil
and then he'll come in the sky
God and he'll be like
listen
all these rules and that
nothing to do with me mate
and then it'll rain garries
and he'll just be like
oh get off
get off your tits
is that the rapture
what
is that the rapture
it'll rain garries
the scouse rapture
it's gone fucking proper moody up there fucking hell it's fucking raining garries Is that the rapture? The rain, Gaddis. The scouse rapture.
It's gone fucking proper moody up there.
Fucking hell, it's fucking raining, Gaddis.
He's like, you know this idea you've got that when you're diet shit, man. And then you'll look up and you'll see my nana banging everyone in heaven like,
Nana!
Now the drugs don't work.
Yeah.
Imagine if God was a scouser.
For a living!
God is death or a scouser. There's absolutely no way God is a scouser. For a living! God is death or a Scouser.
There's absolutely no way God is a Scouser.
That's why we nicknamed him Robbie Fowler.
Okay.
And that is the first semester of theology at Liverpool University.
God is a Scouser.
God, if he exists, or she exists, Adam,
or they exist because God is quite likely gender neutral. There's no way it's a woman because then gender neutral um
it's whatever you see in it well it's what it's it's you he's a manifestation of whatever you
want him to be no I think he's a fellow like I think he's just a normal guy no but if you're
going to get to heaven if there is a God and it's going to look different to everyone, it might look similar to you two.
No, no, no.
And I honestly think Alfie Brown had a point
a few Patreon episodes ago about Morgan Freeman.
Like he's a helicopter or something?
Your God is...
Honestly, Carl, you sound like the voice of reason
so fucking much on this podcast,
but you sounded like
a special kid
that he's trying to steal from
at the range
I've had my first
LucasAid in 19 months
I'm not even messing
my God
is a helicopter
you know fucking Harold
from Thomas the Tank Engine
da
I reckon God
is just
like he is
he's a
if there's a God
he's a humanoid type thing but he's just like, if there's a God, he's a humanoid type thing, but he's just like, you know, he's on it.
Well summed up.
He's just on it, and he knows how to do stuff, and he made this as like a big party house for us.
And then the devil had a little whisper and was like, hey, I'm God, mate.
Don't be fucking shagging each other before you're married and that.
And God's not asked.
God's just like
shag who you want
knows the score
you know
I think some of
God's
representatives on earth
would
argue with
some of the points
you made
the greatest trick
the devil ever pulled
was convincing the world
that he wasn't God
alright
Pacino's films
what
yeah
that's not a Pacino film
is it not
it's the usual suspects
oh shit
and like that
exactly
I'm talking about weed
listen to the quote
see
they leave clues everywhere
like that
he's gone
it's like you smoke weed
have you smoked weed
in the toilet
in the break
because this is like
the chats we had
I haven't smoked weed
for about five years
honestly
when we were getting
wrecked for the first time we were about 18 these are the fucking chats we had I haven't spoken to you for about five years honestly when we were getting wrecked
for the first time
we were about 18
these are the fucking
chats we had
these are the talks
we always have
and now I'm paying
my mortgage with them
I swear to God
I think if God's real
he's actually dead sound
yeah
yeah
because that speech
it's all
in that the devil's
advocate speech
that I imitate sometimes
he's right in it the devil's advocate speech that I imitate sometimes he's right isn't he
the devil's right
he gives man
instincts
and then what does he do
he sets the rules in opposition
look
but don't touch
touch
but don't taste
PS
taste
those rules were not set out by God
they were set out by the people
who purport to represent him
no
they were set out by the devil through Peter, Paul and Jesus.
The Pope, priests, all bishops, they represent God.
They speak for God as much as the head of the Elvis fan club speaks for Elvis.
They don't speak for God, do they?
They represent people who believe in God,
but they don't actually speak for God.
My mouth's off here. They've gone, I'm the Pope and I speak to God but they don't actually speak for god my my miles off here they've
gone i'm the pope and i speak to god you don't know yeah but aren't the is it omnipotent or on
i reckon jesus was in god is yeah i reckon jesus was one of the devil's boys isn't the pope
omniscient no he's just a bloke mate and a big frock no i don't believe in it but i'm saying
he says omnipotent and omniscient he's not all powerful and all loving is he no he's just got
all no he's got god's whatsapp oh yeah yeah yeah he? No, he's just got... He's got God's WhatsApp.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's got him on speed dial.
But I reckon Jesus...
The church are like on God's Patreon.
Yeah.
Or everyone else is just like...
They get everything.
But I reckon Jesus was one of the devil's boys.
Look at him.
He looks like a goth.
Tell me I'm wrong.
That was nearly as bad as God is a helicopter, that.
Jesus is a goth.
Jesus looks like a goth, doesn't he?
If Jesus, because they paint him in fucking white and that,
put a long leather coat on Jesus,
and he looks like a Satanist.
We're piss testing you.
Jesus looks like he hangs around the courts in the city centre.
Jesus has got a skateboard.
Loves Monster.
Yeah.
Jesus drinks Monster by the fucking gallon, mate.
Relentless Monster.
Yeah. Relentless Monster. Both of them gallon Relentless monster Relentless monster
Both of them, relentless monster
It's another goth one isn't it
Jesus' entire Spotify playlist
Is My Chemical Romance
And his skateboards
Like the early stuff before Black Parade
And I'm not judging, be a goth all you want
Goth lives matter, but he is a goth
So would you rather then
oh god
we're such stupid
balance
hey guys
really enjoy the
mental health podcast
but hate you guys
for making me teary
my would you rather is we can't go from Jesus as a goth Hey, guys, really enjoy the mental health podcast, but hate you guys for making me teary.
My would you rather is... We can't go from Jesus as a goth to mental health, thank you.
This is the full breadth of the fucking experience of Have A Word.
This is from Angel.
Angel, okay.
Girl, you're my angel.
You're my darling angel.
Just like my peeps, you are to me.

you can't see it properly
he's got wild eyes
and it goes

it's a combination of like
caffeine and concentration
and like
how long we've been doing it
but he just looked over then he was like I love shaggy I'm like oh my god It goes, it's a combination of caffeine and concentration and how long we've been doing it.
But he just looked over and he was like,

I'm like, oh my God.
He needs to be CRB checked.
He's fucking like, I've got your kids.
I'm doing the swimming lesson.

Yeah the train's off the track now
Right
You have mentioned
This festival You mentioned it a couple of episodes ago Doing a festival next year Yeah, the train's off the track now. Right. You have mentioned this festival.
You mentioned it a couple of episodes ago.
Doing a festival next year.
I have a word festival.
I can't get it out of my head as a brilliant idea.
We could have live podcast.
We could have you doing a stand-up show,
me doing a stand-up show.
We could get our favourite lids who've been on,
Eshan,
and we could get guest appearances by Steph Johnson
fucking making Dalla Dalla
we could get Rudy on
if you haven't listened
to the bonus episode
we put out last week
with Steph Johnson
it's one of the best
if not the best episode
we've ever done
so go and listen to it
as soon as you're done
with this one
can I have dictionary corner
yeah Carl
mate we're doing
we're doing a two day
like we're doing
a Saturday and a Sunday
in Liverpool
we're doing a
have a word festival you're going to make at least an appearance aren't you fucking hell We're doing a two-dayer. We're doing a Saturday and a Sunday in Liverpool. We're doing a Have a Word Festival.
You're going to make at least an appearance, aren't you?
Fucking hell.
How much to book Shaggy to close?
Oh, yes.
Who would you...
We could probably stretch the budget to one live musical act.
I want to do a bit of...
Hey, Sheeran.
Can't afford him.
I think he might be out of budget.
The Lighthouse family.
Lifted. or simply read
alright
Carl's mum
thanks for those suggestions
both of them
knock bangers out
right okay
yeah but Shaggy
would be
Shaggy would be funnier
to close the Saturday night
we've got a musical act on
we've got
you would want you'd want Shaggy, wouldn't you?
How much to book Shaggy?
You get him for five.
I'd just love to throw the Shaggy,
turn it up in a fucking field in Crocky Park.
Who the fuck booked me for this?
It wasn't me.
Yes!
Yes!
You rang me on Tuesday, wasn't me.
You just sent me a WhatsApp, wasn't me.
He's gone.
We're going to have to get some food in him.
I want suggestions for the live act
for the Hover Word Festival.
Obviously, it's got to be post-COVID, hasn't it?
Yeah.
We've got a thank you show to do.
We'll do a H you show to do.
Do a half-a-way protest.
You love a fucking protest.
You'll be in prison for protesting by then.
What did you do in the second lockdown, Adam? I did about two and a half months, yeah.
Half-a-way live from Walton Neck.
You could be Anderson Mandela.
You can do The Voice as well.
Free!
I want to live in a world where podcasts are legal to do live shows.
Yeah.
Introduce Shaggy like that.
Oh, my God.
Shaggy is here.
Fucking weird one, isn't it?
If you just rewind the YouTube, you'd be like,
were you losing your shit about government restrictions
and civil liberty 28 minutes ago?
Yeah, and now he's like,
Oh my God, I want to live in the world.
He had beef with the government as well.
Yoda.
Did he, Adam?
Are you likening yourself to Mandela there?
Yeah, yeah.
Me and Nelson were fucking almost the same.
He fought for his freedom for 30 years.
I did a fucking gig in a paint factory. Me and Nelson were fucking almost the same. He fought for his freedom for 30 years.
I did a fucking gig in a paint factory.
Same.
Exactly the same.
It's not exactly the same.
And Jesus is a nonce.
No, he's not a nonce.
He's a goff. Carl's God's a helicopter.
No.
And Dan's nana is a fucking saint.
Jesus is not a nonce.
He's a goff.
A goff.
A monster drinking,ateboard wielding
Leather jacket owning
Emo goth
Okay
What's the difference
Between an emo and a goth
Honestly
I thought that was a joke
It really
It really
Like there's gonna be like
Guys go
Oh my god
I can't even believe
You're asking that question
Is this like offensive
To ask this question?
Do they get all pissed off about it?
No, that political correctness has not gone...
Not reached.
You're not getting cancelled for...
I cannot believe, as a goth, you just call me an emo.
Emos express themselves in poetry
and critiques on post-punk philosophy.
Goths, on the other hand,
are related to black magic, vampires and witchcraft.
And don't use the ogent.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And don't use the ogent. All right yeah, yeah. And don't use the ogent.
All right, cool.
What website did you pull that from?
Off like fucking dadsresearchthechildren.co.uk?
Genuinely, the difference between.net.
Wicked.
I want to live in a world where we go for a little break.
Can we go for a break?
You've not got a question?
I genuinely don't think we can follow that level of nonsense.
You need food.
You've got crazy eyes.
You have as well.
You know it.
You know it.
Now he gets like, no, I can do it.
No, go on.
Let's do a question.
No, no, let's not.
Let's not.
Let's have a break.
And we've got Lloyd Griffith coming in.
It's exciting.
Ready? It's going to be great. I'm really looking forward to this. He's going to be quality. let's have a break and we've got Lloyd Griffith coming in it's exciting ready?
it's going to be great I'm really looking forward to this

Thank you.
Hey, hey, what you going to do?
We're back. What am I fucking doing here?
Hey, I'm working here.
Welcome back to Park.
He looks fucking terrified.
What have I turned up to?
What's going on?
Hey, Lloyd.
Hey, mate.
Mates.
Mates?
I've gone plural there.
Sounds right.
Do you know what?
I was thinking about a lot
that I was driven from
London.
Heard of it.
And
I was like the last two times
I saw you two
were both terrifying experiences.
Why?
Well firstly your introduction
when you brought me on stage
at Shrewsbury Castle in the Garden.
Shouldn't have done that.
Still have flashbacks to that.
And then when I saw you,
I got mistaken for Adam Rowe by Jonathan Ross,
who I'd worked with twice before.
And I was like, he goes,
oh, lovely, he's Adam, isn't he?
I was like, no, it's Lloyd.
We did the roast battle together.
He was like, oh, yeah.
And I was like, we all look the same, do we?
On a quite diverse show.
I was like, oh, we all look the same, do we?
And he was like
oh just screw it off i i introduced lloyd private i introduced lloyd at shrewsbury castle
and the gig we did together yeah the next night lloyd was on what do you what did i say i was
like basically building you up normally and then i could see you walking around the back and in my
head i was like well me and lloyd are mates i'll make this dead fun and i was like he is one of my favorite black
comedians working in the uk today and shrewsbury are so white collared like oh i don't think you
need to put the word collared in there they're so white yeah but they just you it was almost like
the crowd wanted to just go dan Dan, he's not black.
You walked on and they were obviously confused.
Could it be a joke that I was playing?
I panicked because I've been gigging quite a lot since post-lockdown.
I wouldn't say I was at the prime.
There's a little bit of rust that you're trying to... Not totally match fit.
Not totally match fit not totally match fit
I'd say I'm
you know
not black comedian
introduction fit
I'd say I'm like
sub me off after
76 minutes kind of fit
do you know what I mean
he's had a run out
I can't do the full stint
but he's gone
he's put a good shift in there
and so I just went
I just went
I'm not black
and I didn't know what to do
and they went
yeah yeah
I was like yeah
cheers Dan
I literally
I was on the side like went yeah yeah I was like yeah cheers Dan and you were there going
I was at the side like
why
why
because I'm like
oh they're sound
Lloyd's sound
the night before
we'd been there
and they were into
that sort of silly stuff
and then the Saturday night
they were rigid
I know exactly what it is
I know why you've done that as well
because we do this at the minute
three times a week
and we can say whatever we want
there's no audience to immediately respond to it and everyone who does watch it knows who
we are now and they know that we're a pair of bellends and also two of the gigs you've done
recently so i run a gig in liverpool once a month on a sunday i call it secret sundays the lineup's
never listed and he's done the first two of them and we've both ended up on stage together just
talking shit for a bit and you're in that
zone and you've had a thought and gone this will be fine and you're in a castle outdoors in shrewsbury
to people who didn't know you didn't know him it's funny though wasn't it yeah yeah i mean i mean it
was i've um got a new lady at the moment and basically brought her to the to the gig and it
was one of the first times she'd if not the first
time she'd seen me and uh she just went so is that an in joke between you two i was like no
no it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't that's not what we do that's one of the bits of your band and it
was uh yeah it was an absolutely fine gig you've got a new uh lockdown lady no uh what is it um
i don't know what that means pandemic love uh no no we just met like last month I don't know what that means. Pandemic love? No, we just met like last month.
I don't know.
All right, okay.
Where did you meet her?
The internet.
Which bit of the internet?
You said it like it was a pub.
Have you heard of the internet?
It's switching, right?
Which bit of the internet?
The dark web.
The dark web.
Oh.
How old is she?
A dating app.
Just a dating app.
We don't have to talk about that.
All right, Lloyd.
There's more stuff to talk about.
Why are you getting
the big dog on then talking about his girlfriend are you feeling much fit now gig wise you're back
yeah kind of yeah kind of i've been so i was doing a lot of zoom gigs online and then um yeah i
didn't mind them i don't mind them all but the thing is though i am i am i'm not your archetypal
joke teller i will just talk or just do impressions or sing.
Do you know what I mean?
Impressions?
I can get away with it.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Singing impressions?
No, no, no, no.
Singing impressions?
No, do you know what?
I heard your impressions, and they're just syllables, mate.
They are just syllable impressions.
He's doing well, though, isn't he?
Yeah.
I mean, he says a bloke who literally does tape impressions,
so I mean, like, it's...
You do what impressions?
Sellotape impressions.
Oh, come on. Have you not seen his set? like you have you never seen me before i haven't seen
your sellotape impression yeah i just basically use like for like seven minutes feels time doesn't
it when you've just done it there people are gonna be like that's not a proper bit and when you're in
the magic of shrewsbury Castle grounds,
and you've just done a racially insensitive intro,
it's amazing how much it does work.
I'm slotted at that.
It was really, it does work.
Yeah, so it's, yeah, it's weird, but I get away with it.
But yeah, so I kind of, I've been, but it's like no one's doing that.
No one else is doing it, to be fair.
No one's doing, hopefully no one's doing like
little fat bloke
that sings like a woman.
No one's doing cathedral quiz.
No one's doing sellotape impressions,
do you know what I mean?
So I'm like...
Bitingly original.
Yeah, but...
No one's doing the tax return on stage.
Yeah, no, but...
I'm edgy.
When are you going to do it?
Do you know what I mean?
And then that's tax deductible.
Hey!
But yeah, I've been doing quite a bit, really.
I've been doing quite a lot of stand-up,
and then we did the Jonathan Ross show, which was...
I got cut.
What, did you?
Yeah.
From the show?
Yeah.
I never watched the shows that I'm on,
so I didn't watch it.
Yeah, so they told me, agent,
like, we've cut two acts,
you know, because I did a really short set.
Yeah.
So they cut two of them all.
And I think really what's happened is they've gone,
they're just going to think Lloyd's changed his shirt.
He came on very like,
very similar.
We did the same episode.
Like,
like I don't always totally buy into this whole idea that,
you know,
like you can't have the same size of acts on,
but if you're going to book us both for the same series,
have us a week apart.
You could have lost some weight,
otherwise it would have been identical.
I've been stopped so many times in Edinburgh
by people who think they've seen my show
and they've actually saw his.
I get stopped by a lot of people thinking
I'm the bloke from Axis of Awesome.
So it's just kind of like Russian dolls.
And he gets mistaken for Jack Black.
Do you know what I mean?
So there'll be someone that will go, oh, you look like, you know.
I've had Sam Allardyce before.
I had him in the first half of the show.
Sam Allardyce?
Sam Allardyce, the hunchback of Notre Dame.
I think I called Quasimodo at school for a bit.
Oh, so as well.
Quasirodo.
Quasirodo.
Quasirodo.
They did, they did wordplay
it was a fucking nightmare
everyone in Liverpool
is a comedian
Quasi Roto
also as well
I've been looking forward
to coming on this
because I remember
maybe like two years ago
we did a gig together
and you
I was like
just chatting
you were like
I'm not going to gig anymore
podcast the future
I was like
what is he on about
he was like
mate
I'm going to
I'm going to do a podcast
it's going to be the future
I was like alright mate I'm, mate, I'm going to do a podcast. It's going to be the future. I was like, all right, mate.
I'm going to do, I'm going to do,
I'm going to build a podcast studio in my house.
He's like, and it's going to be like.
I remember where we were and you were like, okay.
It's going to be like Seth Rogen's podcast.
I mean, it's going to be exactly like that.
And then I was like, oh, and then here you are.
I mean, it's not in your brain. I did that and it was like, oh, and then here you are. I mean, it's not in your...
I did that and it was shit.
And then I did it with Adam and it was way better.
Really?
Yeah.
Though that idea I was telling you about
was the prequel to it actually being prequel.
The prequel?
The prequel.
Because that conversation was in 1583.
I think that was just slate, wasn't it?
Prequel.
That's very good. That's a really good joke. That went over everyone's head. I'd that was just slate, wasn't it? Pretty cool. That's very good.
That's a really good joke.
That went over.
Everyone's in a party.
I've just seen Carl go,
he's been on the best form today.
And it's the way he does it,
and then he's like...
I just look around like,
do you get that?
Do you get it?
I did a joke.
I am?
Yeah, he's ready.
Wherever you are tonight.
Hot water comedy club.
I've heard of that.
Yeah.
And you're going up to Blackpool?
I'm off to Blackpool to the comedy station.
Yeah, right under the tower.
Can't miss it.
So I didn't realise that.
So it's doing tonight and tomorrow night.
So I was quite excited.
It's so well getting a comedy club going in Blackpool
because it's proper old school, isn't it?
Like, Blackpool, we've had comedians here for fucking years.
The same ones. Well, they used to be. It hasn't really had alternative, isn't it? Like, Blackpool, we've had comedians here for fucking years. The same ones.
Well, they used to be.
It hasn't really had alternative comedy, has it?
The first time I played the comedy station was when it was,
it used to be, have you played it when it was in the nightclub?
I've never played Blackpool at all.
So the one you're playing tonight is fantastic, lovely,
purpose-built room.
But that brand started in a nightclub around the corner
called Viva.
And when I say nightclub, I don't mean like our type a nightclub around the corner called viva and when i say nightclub i don't mean
like our type of nightclub it's like black pearls nightclub so there's like different rooms with
different shit going on the first time i ever played the comedy station in the little small
cupboard room that he had in the main room sold out with must have been at least a thousand people
was a roy chubby Brown tribute act.
Oh, God.
And I tell you what.
That's Blackpool.
That could be happening tonight somewhere in Blackpool.
You know, I didn't agree with everything he said,
but that delivery,
you learn a lot from people like that.
You really do.
That's how you... He lanes into the racial slays.
He takes a breath and then...
That's a mad...
Gigs in nightclubs.
Oh, I've done some hideous ones
the one in Leeds
is it the
Oceania
oh Oceania
where you have to walk past the door
where you can hear screaming women
because there's like Yorkshire Chippendales
fucking getting the knobs out
I could have doubled up that now
well I'm from North East Lincolnshire
not Yorkshire
have I told you
the story of when I played that for the first time?
The Jonglers Oceania?
Yeah, go on now.
So it was my first...
I was about a year into comedy.
I'd emailed Jonglers.
At the time, Hot Water were trying to be agents, right?
So they'd got me...
I think I'd emailed or they had on my behalf
and they'd got me a tryout for Jonglers far too soon.
And they said, yeah, go to Leeds
and you'll be doing a 10-minute test. Is this the one where you died on your arse that you talk about on the Just In one? for Jonglers far too soon and they said yeah go to Leeds and just
you'll be doing
a 10 minute test
is this the one
where you died on your arse
that you talk about
on the Just In one
Yeah
Just In podcast
Yeah
so I went to walk on
like the
the company's got
everyone's eating a bag of shit
and it was a good bill as well
and
yeah
he went
right your next act
is a new act
he's just doing a tryout tonight
and he's fairly audacious
and he goes
and he's come all the way from Liverpool.
And there was a stag to him from Manchester
who just booed for a bit.
And did I say who the compere was on?
Oh, did you?
Do you know who it is?
No, did you?
Did you say who it is?
Yeah.
Have you never seen me before?
Cain Brown.
No, you do, because you've got him on the soundboard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah.
You know our podcast better than...
Isn't it funny?
I forget what I've said on this the second I leave the room.
I've listened to one episode,
and it's just so happened that it's all come up today.
So I look absolutely...
We do that story every two weeks, though, to be fair.
We've got it on rotation.
That was a fucking good one, that Leeds one.
Do your Leeds one again, lad.
It's an awful gig, that, though.
What is it about crap gigs that comics revel in?
It's something... It's like the code in it when you're like,
Lloyd, you've come all this way, you've driven from London,
there's been a pandemic, you've found new love,
we rarely see each other.
Tell us about when you died on your fucking hoop.
Your career's going great, you're doing TV.
Let's hear when you suffered artistically.
It's better, isn't it?
I think though that comedians like telling other comedians
their shit gig stories because deep down
all comedians want
is for other people
to like them
and other comedians
aren't going to like you
if you're just talking
about your best gigs
I don't want to hear
about your good gigs
tell us a stinker
God I mean it'd be awful
if I came on and was like
look I played the O2
five times last year
Wembley four times
and Hammersmith Apollo
three times
one of them
no one wants to hear that
do they
supporting
supporting
what
supporting edit that bit one of them no one wants to wear that do they supporting supporting what supporting
he knows a game i know they go yeah seriously fucking out of that um but yeah but it's it's
not those gigs that you want to talk about i mean you've got them and you look and you know that
they're there i mean so that's absolutely fine for. They're for you and the promoter. And I was just chatting,
and I think it'd be bad if just someone hadn't died on their arse on stage.
Like, it's insane.
And I'm sure every single comedian,
every single comedian has died,
no matter who you are.
If you're like,
someone like a banderman
who is absolutely bulletproof,
like noise next door.
I was going to say Terry Alderton.
Terry Alderton, I've seen,
some of the best gigs I've ever seen anyone Terry Alderton I've seen some of the best gigs
I've ever seen
anyone ever have
in the world
and some of the worst gigs
I've ever seen him
that's what makes him
so absolutely incredible
there's no one
that's gone
I've not had a bad gig
because it's bullshit
for a start
and also like
that's just not how this works
no matter if
I've seen
I've done support
for a couple of big acts
and I've seen them
struggle at their own gigs
not badly but like struggle.
Have weird ones.
In like work in progress
or like in big on-tour theatre shows?
Yeah, big, big, yeah.
Just bad tour things?
Arenas or theatres, yeah.
But not like dying at a club.
Just a bad night.
Yeah, just like going,
oh, that was a bit weird, wasn't it?
You know, and just come off.
I've seen Terry Alderton have a weird one.
Yeah.
And it is the weirdest thing to watch a straight killer,
like a murderer, have a weird one.
I've seen Tom Stade be off.
And it's this weird thing where you're like,
it feels like it's the strangest thing.
It's like Usain Bolt tripping over.
You know he can be amazing.
You're used to him being amazing, but everyone can can trip over watching guys like that have a weird one you're like oh my god
they're human because terry alderton fucking hoofs gigs in a way i was starting out i think i gigged
with him in brighton down south it's an away leg for me felt like fucking kiev in the europa league
and i was a i was new and he was the headliner and I sort of just shanked it
in the middle section,
the easiest bit.
He went on on the Friday night
and it was one of them
where you're like,
it's someone ripping it
when you've kind of died.
I didn't have the worst one
but it wasn't good enough.
And then he ripped it in a way,
I was at the back going,
ha ha ha,
maybe I should give this up.
It made me question my career
and I've also seen him have a weird one.
And he's so good, it's almost like freaky watching him not rip it.
I've seen him have a really bad one in Edinburgh.
I went and saw Terry.
That can happen to anyone on any day in Edinburgh.
But the thing is, with Terry, he is just one of a kind.
Absolutely one of a kind. Absolutely one of a kind.
Have you seen Terry Alderton before?
He does five minutes with his back to the audience.
Like, doing noises.
Tell him, tell him.
When that doesn't work, you're too far down the fucking road, aren't you?
Terry's one of those people as well where...
He's one of my favourites of all time.
Terry Alderton, Sean Lock, Lee Mack.
They're kind of like my three... Lee Mack's first stand-up DVD where he's got of my favourites of all time. Terry Orton, Sean Locke, Lee Mack, they're kind of like, they're my three.
Lee Mack's first stand-up DVD
where he's got the yellow shirt on
is one of the funniest hours
ever put on record.
It's fucking unbelievably funny.
I think that's one way he's got the joke.
I remember the last thing my Nana said to me,
what are you doing in here with a hammer?
Oh my God.
Sean Locke is an absolute murderer.
I've been really lucky I've supported Sean
on a couple of nights
working progress
up in like
near Baron Furnaceway
I've done some work
with Lee a few weeks back
which I really can't
talk about
but um
what a fucking
belt
it's the body position
and everything
literally walks in here
and then three minutes later
he's like
I'm lying down
and that's an edit point
what a fucking throw
that's how you play the O2
supported
it's because I've been driving
for the last like four hours
just relax mate
you're at home babe
you're at home babe
it's just
but Terry was one of those ones
where I bet he was
absolutely lovely to you
as well wasn't he
like at that gig
like
obviously he'd just seen me
basically put a 4 out of 10
into the fucking weeds
yeah
and he was dead nice
don't worry about it mate
it's alright
yeah yeah yeah
and then he was like
yeah
it's like
I remember seeing Terry
like for the
I saw him
a friend of mine was like
look you need to watch
this guy called Terry Alderton
I was like
what the hell
he's on YouTube
he's got this he's from like one of the comedy clubs in London.
It's obviously like him doing like the store.
It was a clip of him.
It's only like 10, 12 minutes long,
but it's just incredible.
And it kind of like just sums up what Terry does.
I was like, that's the guy from London's Burning.
I'm a massive fire engine nerd.
I love fire engines.
You know what?
Fire engine nerd.
You're a massive fire engine nerd. Yeah. I've never heard those words put in the same sentence. Yeah, I love fire engines. You know what? Fire engine nerd. You're a massive fire engine nerd.
Yeah.
I've never heard those words
put in the same sentence.
Yeah, I love them.
If you'd have asked me
when you went,
you know what,
to just guess even like loosely
where you were going with that,
I'm a massive fire engine nerd.
Like, what are we?
Are you for real?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is it a sexual thing
or just like?
No, it'd be weird, mate.
No, no, like for example,
I've only got one of bits
on me at the moment,
but like this is my wallet. This is a fire engine it's made out of recycled fire hose um genuinely
i'd pass over so you're a cathedral nerd oh yeah i'm a fire engine nerd yeah and i got a girlfriend
you've got a girlfriend now um so that my my um my wash bag that's in my Range Rover outside, that's got a...
That's made out of recycled fire.
I can't remember where I was going with this.
Did you park the Range Rover before you drove around
in your Peugeot 206 that I see?
What are you on about?
That's to get...
You know, like, you have a super yacht
and then you get the little boat that goes to the dock.
That's what I parked the Range Rover
outside the business park
and then I just brought this in.
It's actually Volvo V40R design.
R design, you're such a nonce.
Terry Alderton.
What was I talking about?
Terry Alderton.
London's burning.
Yeah, I was obsessed with London's burning.
Why was everyone smoking weed today?
I was obsessed with London's burning
because I love fire engines,
still do actually, to be fair.
And I've got a bit of me,
yeah, anyway.
So I'm like,
oh, it's him.
And he's like,
oh, he used to present
the National Lottery with Lulu. I was like, I love this guy. And then went and saw him and I'm like, oh, it's him. And he's like, oh, he used to present the National Lottery with Lulu.
I was like, I love this guy.
And then went and saw him, and I was like, this is the best thing in the world.
Like, it's absolutely insane.
And because I always do, like, my weird impressions,
he kind of, like, took me under his wing in, like, the singing stuff.
And Terry's just been amazing since.
He's just, like, an absolute inspiration.
I love him.
And I always kind of, whenever I'm writing stuff,
going,
what would Terry do in this situation?
And the answer is,
do something that you could never fucking think of.
Is that clip from,
did he do a half hour comedy store mini special?
Because some of those half hours,
I've seen the video,
it's just store camera stuck to the ceiling.
And you know,
on that store camera,
when you listen back to it,
there's not that much laughter really,
Because it's from the mic. But on this one, you know he's done well, because there's so much laughter. And you know, on that store camera, when you listen back to it, there's not that much laughter really, Because it's from the mic.
But on this one,
you know he's done well
because there's so much laughter.
It's kind of on par.
And you only really know that
once you've asked for your own clip
from Graham.
Hey, can I get the DVD?
It's an extra five.
Okay, mate.
Yeah.
And so,
but he's doing so well
that you can actually hear the laughs.
It's like,
oh my God.
Those half hours are amazing.
Peter Kay,
McIntyre,
Mickey Flanagan
Flanagan's great
they're some of
the best stand up
before those guys
went
the comedy store
were like
these guys are murderers
and just before they went
the Peter Kay one
there should be
so many more
there should be
comedy club
headliner specials
on YouTube
you can find them
fuck me
I want to touch on
something you sort of
mentioned before
which is like
you know when
Teddy's like
amazing routines don't go that well because you sing on stage right because
you've got an absolute bastard of a voice a very good one but what does that ever just not get
anything every now and then it's like every now and then look i love you but i'd fucking love to
see that yeah i was i'm a former chorister as well. Yeah, but it's different again. Just because he nonces around.
A former what?
Chorister.
Is that the word?
Former.
What, former?
He's a former chorister.
Yeah, chorister.
It sounds like someone who does something with their body,
isn't it?
A chorister.
I'm a chorister.
That's a coroner.
Coroner.
Coroner.
Yeah, but they're similar.
No, they're not.
And they're both coroners and choristers.
Nana's dead.
Go and see the chorister.
The bitch is dead. I mean, to be fair, choristers and coroners and coroners Nana's dead go and see the chorister the bitch is dead to be fair
choristers and
coroners have
boasted a lot of
naked men
to be fair
oh there you go
I sang over it
but you waited
perfectly
you found the gap
and that's four
runs sir
thank you very much
it's an easy
four
we
it makes me
annoyed that you
are getting
because you've got
you've got like a proper voice.
Like I had, you know, in terms of singing for choirs,
you know when people played for United
and then there's people like, I had trials for United.
He has literally, at his level, like semi-pro,
I basically had trials for Oldham Athletic.
That's where I'm at in the chorister scheme of things.
Pro, not semi-pro. Oh, sorry, sorry,'s where I'm at in the scheme of things. Bro, not so much bro.
Oh, sorry, sorry, bro.
Sorry, sorry, bro.
Have you sung in the O2?
Have I sung in the O2, mate?
I got a son of a bitch
in the O2.
Forcing him.
It's in the set,
isn't it, mate?
And Litchfield Cathedral.
Oh, this ham's
really amazing, this pizza,
but it's a pizza
that's amazing, isn't it?
Do you think we're there?
It's not great in that,
is it?
But keep it in.
Keep it in. They'll like it um but yeah i've sung and um they've not like and it's i've i've sung before and i've seen
like two or three three or four things like as like a if i'm doing club sets it's kind of like
there's a few things i do and i've sung before and they've just not applauded i go and i've just gone what the fuck like i've changed
on because i'm not going no you're wrong you're wrong here like get clapping get and i've done
it a couple of times i've done it once where i was supporting rob beckett on tour and they just
didn't clap at the end of it and all i could hear was just him in the wings absolutely pissed
themselves where i'm going right you're fucking clapping all of you all fucking a thousand you
start clapping it was just like when you've done a big performance and you're fucking clapping, all of you. All fucking a thousand of you start clapping. It was just like...
But when that happened...
When you've done a big performance and you're like,
and I pause for applause, nothing, awkward.
It works as well.
Because I'm not very sort of rollicking on stage.
My routines tend to be sort of at their own pace.
But when you see a stand-up who does like a really ranty bit,
that when they've written it, they're like...
And they're expecting everyone to
go oh my god that was so the way he said that really well in that order that was so fun it
was the speed and everything and when it gets uh you can just see the comics you're like
that's taking me so long to learn how to do that like because it is a kind of like
i never have any of those uh. I've got the nursery bit
about going to Popcats
and I do the,
basically,
I become a musical comedian
for that bit of thing.
I've got to the end of that bit.
Are you going to bring your youth back over there?
Fuck off.
I've got to the end of that bit.
If no one claps,
you've given it everything.
I've had my little mantis shake.
I've done a whole three songs, and they're like,
that was all right.
And you're like, okay, I've got to catch my breath
because you're meant to be clapping now.
And you just look a fucking numpty.
Yeah.
You just get on with it, don't you?
There's a number of reasons why, and again,
it was like going back onto, not to keep banging on about that episode,
but where you talk about people like open micers
who have been going for years, who are doing rubbish,
and then they get one decent gig, and it's like, they're like they're like oh my god it's worked it's the other way around for that
there's no reason why that hasn't worked it's just whatever just happens it's just it's you know
the bit's still good and it's just but it's so funny when like it you go oh that that usually
kills but i i used to panic but now i'm not I'm going to have a really nice sandwich on the way home.
That's experience, though, isn't it?
That's experience.
If you want it too hard, I don't think it helps.
I think it helps.
No one wants to be so laid back they're not asked at all.
But as a comic, it really helps you professionally
if you give a shit, but not too much.
The open spots were like, they're living every up and down too much
and it becomes like
but once you've been going
for a certain amount of time
I'm like
there's routines I've got
where I'm like
sometimes it works
sometimes it doesn't
but the routines
and what you're talking about
they're show pieces
that really fucking murder
I do just have an attitude
with the audience at times
if I do a bit
that I know
is a solid fucking bit
and has worked
in comedy clubs
in every fucking town in the country
the Edinburgh Festival and then on tour
and then a room of 100 people go no
I'm just like I don't care
you're all wrong there's no way
every other audience is wrong
and it's either they are or you are so fuck yourselves
I'm never coming back to Coventry
but with that
I just have to go
well they're wrong I just in turn well they're wrong do you just, in turn, I go, well, they're wrong.
Do you know what I mean?
But I'm not going to, you know, they might not know that they're wrong.
They might go, huh?
What?
You know, they might not have seen comedy before.
There's certain mechanisms that you get in place once you've been going for a while
that you learn how to deal with certain things.
It's like the Millican's Lodge.
You have a bad gig, like 11 o'clock the next day, you forget about it.
And it's like, if something's not working out, you go like 11 o'clock the next day you forget about it and it's like if something's not working out
you go
oh I'm going to have
a nice drive home tonight
yeah
it's a self-defence mechanism
see my family when I get home
so you just kind of
pull yourself together
if you're doing that every night
if every night you're going
okay Millican's Lord
I'm going to have a night
you're going
well something's gone wrong here
do you know what I mean
if it was once every
40 or 50 gigs
if every night
you have to do
every single coping mechanism because the gigs aren't working the jokes aren't working and you're essentially crying
then if at minute 15 of every set you do you have to go oh well at least i've got heated seats in
the vibe i am i actually changed your set of course of our design isn't it i don't like being
warm in the car you know what i think cool drives him mad when carl's driving me around i i have a
cold in the car like it opens all the windows on the motorway.
I don't.
This is back to the thing about people who can't judge the fucking temperature.
What do you mean?
I just like being cool.
So do I, but you like being dangerous on the motorway.
Speaking of temperature, my temperature's been really low
every time I get zapped when I go into a restaurant.
35.7 or 35.9.
You're as cold as ice.
Mine's low as well.
Does anyone find it intimidating?
Have a bouncer who are usually cunts
put something up against your head
in a fucking gun motion.
Be like, sorry, lads.
Got to just do this.
You're like, ah.
What are you worried about?
They don't give a shit.
How do I know that's not a fucking gun?
You've seen No Country for Old Men
when he's got the cattle fucking killer.
No. No. I don't know. I know it's not going to happen. I just don no country for old men when he's got the cattle fucking killer. No.
No.
I don't know.
I know it's not going to happen.
I just don't like the thing of a bouncer going,
let me just do that on you.
Yeah, you are right.
He didn't actually press it against you.
It's about a foot away.
But like...
Did they not kiss you?
No.
And also, you just know it's a thermometer.
So I don't know why you're going,
oh, it could be a gun.
Where's he got a gun from during a pandemic?
Right.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
The gun market has crashed
mate
guns are well covid safe
you can stay two metres away
and murk someone
knives
fucking ridiculous
Rishi Sunak's not about knifings
yeah fair enough
great banter
keep that one in
Rishi Sunak
keep fucking out
is that the catchphrase for this
no I just
if we titled episodes
it'd be keep that in
I'd just bin one into the
into the fucking wall
and everyone's like
and I'd rather just own it and be like that in i just i just bin one into the into the fucking wall never was like
i'd rather just own you and be like that was shit banter dan it's time to make a joke
heated seats though heated seats later on that was a good laugh on it that was like honestly on the drive to nottingham in a bit i'll be like yeah that one was but there was a few
other good ones tonight i'm going to east midlands meet you know i mean playing Nottingham tonight are you? I'm going to East Midlands meet Do you know what I mean? Fucking play in Nottingham
It's a Covid hotspot
I couldn't give up
I'm staying in the Hilton

There's a man coming in
Looks like a nonce
Daryl's gig?
No
Okay cool

As long as we still get a... Like, as long as...
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, just, yeah.
You do everything.
Tell us what to do,

He's going to start ruining these episodes, you know,
because he's starting to get on to the fact
that we don't watch them.
And he's going to start putting pictures and stuff in,
and he's told me.
Lloyd watches them more than we do.
Mate, I do.
What's your favourite Christmas carol?
Just before we crack on to the...
Adam's done some prep.
I just...
Chorister to chorister.
What are you saying to Bleak Midwinter?
I like Bleak Midwinter.
You've got to show some restraint with it.
It's in the...
In the Bleak Midwinter.
Come on, I've got some pipes.
Yeah, so like Coventry Carol or...
Coventry Carol is like a decent one
but I'm talking
these are quite nice
yeah
can I do a fucking
Christmas song to these
or if you want
you've heard in the
have you never heard
in the bleak midwinter before
or once in Royal David City
Jingle Bell Rock
yeah but he'd do it all
like Scouse
like once in
Royal fucking
David City
stood and danced
we burnt his house down
Are you a baritone, Lloyd?
No, he's a tenor.
Yeah, baritone.
Step into Christmas.
That's a song, mate.
It's a Christmas song?
Yeah, it's a Christmas song, it's not Christmas Carol.
What's the difference?
Are we recording?
Yeah.
Wow.
How is this
making money
what's the difference
between a carol and
a song what what is
christmas carol
because it's all
christian and noncy
that's a carol can
we not help john
noncy with this
all right i feel
like
in the bleak
midway
no do you
know
step into christmas together that's that's like watch the snowfall forever the bleak midweek. You don't have that. Step into Christmas
together.
We can watch the snowfall
forever and ever.
What kind of Catholic
school did you go to?
Jingle bell,
jingle bell,
jingle bell rock.
How scouse is that?
Right, we're going to
have a Christmas carol.
We're going to go
Home Alone on
the fucking soundtrack.
Driving on for Christmas
is the one,
no wonder.
Okay, I mean,
you need,
sorry, not to...
You need to do a little bit of education around this.
So you're singing songs that are quite popular songs,
which, you know, I don't mind.
Christmas songs.
I don't mind a bit of Wizard every now and then,
or a bit of Slade.
Slade.
But these are Christmas carols,
are carols that are caroled, okay?
So that's the correct term.
They're caroled in churches and around towns.
Okay, so these are all ancient stuff.
So talking about the birth of baby Jesus.
When I was a kid, though,
we sang All I Want for Christmas is You by Malaya Kelly in church.
Yeah, I mean, a lot of questions there.
I doubt you got a very good off-stage right here, mate, to be fair.
Outstanding.
The church was part of the school ground St Margaret Mary's
and we sang a few
of your little Jesus ones
and then they went
actually
actually
let's get Mariah Carey on
and they played a CD player
just one CD player
and the whole church
full of
the whole year
sang
All I Want For Christmas Is You
by Mariah Carey
so is that
now
a Christmas carol
no
why
because I'm not sure
that's definitely
a church
you were in
I think it might have been
your uncle Jeff's house
if you've basically got
like
a nativity scene
and you're aiming that
at the baby Jesus
in the cradle
all I want for Christmas
is you
then I guess you can get away
with it
do you know what I mean
but ultimately
these are songs
the carols are songs
around
the nativity.
He's not enjoying this, is he?
No, no, no.
It's got to be done properly.
With certain things,
if you called a fire engine a fire engine,
I go, well, it's a fire appliance.
I mean, it's not actually a fire engine.
Do you know what I mean?
It's a fireman.
It's a firefighter, actually.
It's 2020, dickheads.
Sex with girls.
But with proper choral music and stuff like that,
I do get a little bit of that.
It's fun to have a joke,
but can we just have a little bit of separation here?
Is that okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mariah Carey,
she slays you wizards,
you Chris Rears,
all that lot.
They go into the Christmas songs.
Christmas carols,
once in Royal David City,
away in a manger,
in the bleak winter.
The Pogues?
The King's Winter song.
Because it was...
If it's got a YouTube video,
it's in the song category
okay
really
no okay
so don't be a dickhead
obviously
what about
every now and then
I'd say
pre-1900s
pre-1900s
carol
post-1900s
song
what changed in the 1900s
what was the big thing
well people just stopped
believing in Jesus
didn't they
and God and all that lot
what about
shine Jesus shine where do you stand on that is that a modern a modern carol
it's not really for me and it's just a church song and yeah it's just church a song but yeah
it's it's fine yeah i mean i love how of all the things we took the piss out of that was the one
he was like there's the line lads yeah there's the fucking line so i think official video away
in a manger i mean you away in a manger I mean away in a manger
okay
so the YouTube thing
was actually like
obviously
what I'm saying is
oh god
like
away in a manger
well that's not
the original melody
is it
no he's having a
he's going freestyle
on this
this is weird
that's not that's not that's no so that's not He's gone freestyle on this. This is absolutely ridiculous. This is weird.
That's not, that's not, that's, no.
So that's not a carol anymore?
It's a carol because it's, it's, it's a carol, yeah, it's still a carol, yeah.
But he's bastardised it. Yeah, but he's used his own, or their own melody to do it.
Jesus was a bastard.
Jesus was a goth, according to you.
A goth bastard.
Jesus was the OG. Let's get this back
on the tracks. That was my fault. I just thought you'd be like,
yeah, like this one. And apparently it was just a big
argument about fucking carols.
I'd love to have seen your nativity.
Right, lads. A fucking priest in
an Everton top. Come on!
Fucking Christmas here, kids!
Hey,
I tell you this, fucking Herod
was a sorry.
Do you know what, though? Seriously, like, I know you're all fucking Herod was a sorry.
Do you know what, though?
Seriously, like, I know you're all into these songs and that because it's your job and that,
but wouldn't Christmas carolers knocking at your house
be more welcome if they sang some of the good songs?
Like what?
What are the good songs?
Mariah Carey, The Pogues.
The Darkness.
The Darkness.
I believe in the thing called love.
I'm going to put it before that.
No, no.
Because that's a song for a band and it's a different style.
Whereas if you have four or eight or 16 carolers turning up your door doing a lovely four-part harmony
of Once in Royal David's City, that's lovely.
That's traditional.
That's nice.
If you've got someone doing a karaoke version of All I Want for Christmas,
I'd be like, what are you doing you lunatic
no I'm not saying
just fucking
your auntie Joan
knocks at the door
and like I'm gonna sing
I'm talking
eight like crowds
I love a bit of crowd singing
so like 16 kids
turn up at your house
and they're like
one two three four
it's the Christmas
did you just do it
you just did the
oh my god
he did it without even thinking
he went back to childhood
primary school
counting the rhythm
like
on a finger
I like I normally if the carolers knock I'm always like He did it without even thinking. He went back to childhood, primary school, counting the rhythm like, on a finger.
I normally,
if the carolers knock,
I'm always like,
yay,
and I get them halfway through and I'm like,
oh, here's a quid,
fuck off, right?
But if they were singing
the pogues,
I'd, you know,
I'd give them a note
and I wouldn't like,
I wouldn't shut the door.
So scouse.
I feel like,
he's got nothing,
he's like,
I feel like carolers could be
making more money
if they actually
put some
if they were doing
some actual tunes
Yeah well I'm a caroler
mate and I've got
a Range Rover
alright keep that in
I used to love
And a Volvo
So what's your
favourite caroler?
I'm going to say
Once in Royal David City
Nice
Great great great
Sorry that was my fault
I'm not sorry
We'll take it.

Manscaped just launched in the UK.
We've gone years without using the right tools over here.

then gone for a shower, and it stings like fuck
is exactly why Manscaped has redesigned the electric trimmer.
The Manscaped engineering team has perfected
the greatest ball hair trimmer ever created
and just released the new and improved Lawn Mower 3.0, the third Lawn Mower,
and it features a cut-on-edge ceramic blade to reduce manscaping accidents.
No more nicking those balls.
When I say this is premium, I mean it.
It's the best razor I've ever used.
The battery lasts an hour and a half.
The water-resistant technology allows you to groom in the shower.
One of the coolest features is the LED light,
which illuminates grooming areas for a closer and more precise trimming.
You get a little torch on your balls.
They've also upgraded to a 7,000 RPM motor
with the QuietStroke trademark technology.
And let's not forget about the charging stand.
That looks boss, the charging stand.
It looks nice, not that ugly.

Yeah.
Are you a Grimsby town fan?
Yeah.
How are you doing?
Not very well
We haven't played for the last two weeks
Because we got Covid
And we're second bottom of the league
So all in all
Not ideal
Great start to the season
Three lads are dead
And we're fucking four points off the bottom
Do you have like
A second team that you follow?
Like a big team?
So when I was growing up
I used to go to
Because my mum used to work Saturdays
So it was cheaper for me to go With my cousin Saul Tra, because my mum used to work Saturdays, so it was cheaper
for me to go with
my cousin to
Old Trafford on
a Saturday with
a £9 adult
ticket than it
was for mum to
pay for a
babysitter.
So I had a
penchant for
Peter Schmeichel
which then
resulted in me
going to see
Man United for
like two seasons.
You're just a bit
of a Schmeichel
fan?
Yeah, I love
Peter Schmeichel. I'm obsessed with Peter Schmeichel fan yeah I love Peter Schmeichel
obsessed with Peter Schmeichel
and fire engines
fire appliances
you're so on the spectrum
it's amazing
and syphilis
yeah
have you ever had a dream
about Peter Schmeichel
being a fireman
100%
no
I've had a dream about
Peter Schmeichel doing
certain things to me
like getting me over
his shoulder and stuff
like that
like a fireman
like a firefighter
if you're going to have a jolly onto the gay side of things it's not with Peter Schmeichel is it things to me, like getting me over his shoulder and stuff like that. Like a fireman. Like a firefighter, yeah.
If you're going to have a jolly onto the gay side of things, it's not with
Peter Schmeichel, is it? Great lump
of a Danish goalkeeper.
He's massive, he's blonde.
Absolutely no way
he hasn't got an absolute weapon.
Oh my God. He's going to
spin you on his dick, Adam. That's how that'll go down.
Yeah. You're the bottom with Peter Schmeichel,
you know.
What? He's getting his dick, Adam. That's how that'll go down. Yeah. You're the bottom with Peter Schmeichel, you know. What?
He's getting his dick out.
Your dentist's stringing me.
Your dentist's stringing you.
Hello?
It is, yeah.
Could I give you a call
back in a bit?
I'm just in the middle
of recording something.
Thank you.

Spond there, is it going to come up like
Adam's dentist, his smile for you
Pure dental on Allerton Road can provide you with
An Invisalign, get the smile you've always
Craved for just £3000
And upwards
If you want Peter Schmeichel to fancy you
Would you rather never be able to watch sport again
or only be able to watch sport,
no other form of entertainment?
Never watch sport again.
Really?
Yeah.
How about you?
Can you classify all the other entertainment
and I'll make a decision?
So you can still listen to music, but you can't watch
the music channel?
No, Phil, because then you'd be
watching it. You can't watch any
other form of entertainment. You can't watch films, you can't watch
TV shows.
You can still listen to podcasts.
Any visual entertainment is gone.
What about sports movies?
Nope.
The theatre? Nope. That's gone anyway. I can't watch the ballet anymore. Nope. The theatre?
Nope. That's gone anyway.
I can't watch the ballet anymore?
Nope.
Shame!
I...
You can't watch any dog fighting?
Right.
Okay, good.
Let's not talk about your nativity again.
I think because I can listen to podcasts
and I can hear, like, radio, I might listen to podcasts and I can hear radio,
I might have to keep sport.
I'd definitely keep sport, but you wouldn't.
So you can't watch TV again?
Nope.
You can't go to a concert, a gig?
Nope.
Never been to one anyway.
How much comedy?
Sorry, you haven't been to a music gig in your life?
Nope.
I've been in a pub and someone's got a guitar house.
So you've never been to like bought a
ticket to see
I bought a ticket
to see the Spice Girls
but no one had
come with me

to go
I've got another
story I'll come on
and tell you two
years once the

All right, we get it, we get it.
All About That Face by Meghan Trainor.
You're fucking out of fashion.
It's literally like a special CD called Now That's
What I Call
Say It Again
by Precious
say it again
say yeah
say the words
so it's easy
for him to give up
music
I mean that's
understandable
he's got a really
bad palate
if you don't know
what I'm saying
but when you're
a Grimsby fan
is it easier
to give up sport
well you asked me
to give up all
sport there
aren't you
yes
so yeah it's not easy to do that what's your other penchant is it easier to give up sport? Well you asked me to give up all sport there aren't you? Yes. So yeah it's not
easy to do that.
What's your other
penchant when it
comes to sport?
I go to the
boxing quite a lot.
Really?
Who did your
last see fight?
Oh who did I
last see fight?
It might have
been either one of
Chisora or
Dillian White
fights.
Wembley?
O2, yeah.
Must have been weird.
Like, Lloyd, you were only here last week playing it.
Keep that in.
You know what?
I know the place.
Did you support the fight?
Yeah.
Guys, guys, I know you're there for boxing,
but have you ever duct taped?
Right.
Honestly, I supported someone.
I was a ring person.
Okay?
All right? I wasn't a ring girl. It's 2020. You can be anything you want to be, babe. I was a ring person okay all right
I wasn't a ring
girl it's 2020 you
can be anything you
want I was a ring
person just going
around yeah um but
yes I go um me and
Rob Beckett go to
boxing quite a lot
and I go with his
brother to this
ultimate fighter one
as well which is
just like a knockout
where like a boxer
has to fight three
times in one evening
it's insane oh it's
like shorter fights
and then it's almost
like they do
quarterfinal semi
final yeah so it's done so that you get a bit of breathing time then in the they have like
a half an hour break where they'll just have like a show fight on and so like granite zack was there
i think there might be a market for that you know winner stays on fighting well it's just
bad luck will fight in that isn't it really yeah i thought you're gonna say winner stays on comedy
but you wouldn't be able to have winner stays on because it's just it knuckle fighting, isn't it, really? Yeah. I thought you were going to say winner stays on comedy.
But you wouldn't be able to have winner stays on
because it's just,
it'd be so unfair
because someone would have had
a seven minute breathing space,
which makes such a massive difference.
Yeah, they have like,
basically,
you can give them a little five minutes,
have a Ribena
and get yourself ready
for the next one.
Yeah.
If it doesn't work,
does it?
Because the last guy to fight
has got a really good chance
of winning the whole thing. You know, Dave, that's just sat there these lads are fucking just saying
themselves just say like to win you have to win like eight in a row right this this is what they're
doing is a quarter finals a semis a finals with joe fights in the middle and at the night you've
got like a prize fighter at the end yeah yeah it's great and he wins a contract and wins i think it's
like 50 grand or something so we went and saw that at the
Indigo in the O2.
Yeah, I go to quite a bit, been to York Hall a couple
of times in Bethnal Green, watched a few
fights there. What's the atmosphere like?
I've literally never, I like fighting.
At the O2 it's,
I like fighting.
I like fighting. I've never
done it. I'm a massive fucking pussy.
From someone who just doesn't understand any of combat sports.
No, I like fighting when they hit each other in the sticks.
You know, I remember back in the day, yeah.
It's a weird one because it depends who's fighting
and what the following's like.
Because you can, you know, if there's a bit of a hearty following,
then it can get a bit tasty in the crowd.
I've always been lucky in that I've either always been ringside,
or not literally, but within that block or in a box.
But it's fun.
It's like, yeah, you enjoy it.
It's tasty.
I would like to go to see a fight, like if we can.
A fight?
A fight?
What do you mean?
That's not the wrong
Terminology is it
I got
You go and see a fight
It just sounds
Weird
Yeah I went
So one of the
I got
I got so drunk
At a fight once
It was at the O2
I can't
I think it was
Takan
And
As me going
Oh yeah I love boxing
But I can't remember
What the fight was
Two blokes
You mean like
Being in a room and shouting at people
while they're punching each other?
Yeah, so I like going to junglers gigs.
Very niche.
But, yeah, I got so pissed.
There's two brothers called the McDonald brothers
who were from Doncaster, I think that's right.
And one of them basically just kept free pouring vodka
into my drink without me really realising.
That was a bit of fun.
And I was just so drunk.
You know Michael Boffa, the,
Let's get ready to rumble!
Producer's brother.
I was so drunk, he went to bed.
I was chatting to him in the after party thing
and he went, OK, so I'm going to go to bed now.
He doesn't talk like that away from the mic.
Honestly, it's like, he's so American.
It's like, OK, like okay Lloyd well I'm gonna
go to bed now
let's get ready
I was so drunk
I had to
text Tony Bellew
the next day
to apologise
I go
hey mate
do I need to
apologise for anything
because I don't
remember getting home
or anything
he's like
mate you were
just on the cusp
mate
but fucking hell
you were funny
I was like
okay phew
because you don't
really want to
piss Tony Bellew off
because he doesn't hold back.
Yeah.
And he'll let you know.
But yeah, Tony, yeah.
So you're going to remove all of this from your life
just to watch what?
Breaking Bad again?
Not Breaking Bad.
To go and listen to...
I'm a big...
Because I've got a degree in music.
And so I'm a big wanker.
Still listen to it?
Yeah, you can still listen to it
but I love to go and watch stuff
theatre
opera
I tell you what though
if you meet someone
Laura would be fucking fuming
if I was like
sorry love
we can't watch anything tonight
film
TV or anything
if she loves you
I don't know would you rather
but we can watch
nothing
we can watch like
Real Sociedad on Sky Sports
she'll be fucking fuming.
Tuesday night, let's watch a film we can't.
Come on, love, they're away at Oviedo.
What do you mean you're leaving me?
Nothing gives me the feeling like a Liverpool win,
especially a big win.
Like, I've never felt like, had the feelings.
When Liverpool beat Barcelona 4-0 to overturn that 3-0 deficit,
there's not a film or TV show
that can possibly
match that feeling
so I'm not
I'm not giving up sports
yeah
but it's not meant to is it
you know you don't get to the end
of Breaking Bad
like
oh he's really invested
in the season finale
I get that
and I've had quite a similar one
when Grimsby overcame
a 1-0 deficit
to Braintree
in the
playoff semi-final
for the National League.
You know what I mean?
Omar Pogol and Porrick Hammond.
Do you know what I mean?
But still,
I think I do want to see...
Like, I've never nearly
broke me back
over an episode of EastEnders.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Whereas when Origi made a 2-0
in Madrid,
fucking near killed myself, mate.
That was a great goal
that Origi got.
Great.
I would like to see a fight, though.
And I think that's the terminology
if we could
a punch job
you get decent
fights at MEM
when everything
can go back to
normal
or like
looking forward
to it
looking forward
to it
at MEM
or the M&S
direct arena
I've played them
all
Jesus Christ
what's the next
one
would you rather
be able to
smell human
shit every
second of
every day
or once a
day you have
to smell the armpit of a passerby
but it's a proper deep inhale like a like what you know is right in the air i wish everyone
could have just got what i got right but you can never explain what you're doing to the stranger
so constant shite human shite and you know the difference between human and dog shit it's
different you just know when it's human
or
once a day
without explaining it
and Covid's gone
so you're not worried about
distancing and that
you've just got to get yourself
come on do a little test on me now
what am I
I've just done it
I don't want to do it again
I'm fresh
I'm pretty fresh
I mean yeah
it feels like you haven't
really thought that through
like the armpit
100%
such an obvious answer
is it
I mean,
you are probably going to get punched in the face occasionally.
No,
just pick an old woman.
No,
you don't get to,
you don't get to,
you don't get to pick.
Doesn't it just,
doesn't like,
doesn't it just like red light go up?
Either way,
it's a short part of your life
that you've just got to deal with it
and you know it's going to happen.
But to smell that smell
every single day,
every single second.
Horrible.
Do you know how many people
get used to it though?
Like people who live in farmland.
But the thing is though,
in this situation,
I don't think you need
to get used to it.
If you can just go,
I'll just sniff an armpit
for five seconds.
Also, armpits,
less offensive to me
than crotches,
sometimes breath.
I would honestly,
if someone said,
you've got to right now
sniff my pit
or sniff my fingers
oh my god
fingers are dirty
yeah
someone's breath
if you said someone's breath
I'd be like
that'd be a dilemma
but the armpit
easy
and have you heard of
deodorant
yeah
that solves most things now
yeah
it's always the armpits
of someone who works
in CEX
oh that's not fair, is it?
But at least they've got the plexiglass.
Surrounded by Game Boys and...
Are we really saying that it's hate speech to say that people who work in CX
occasionally have a bow problem?
I think it's awful.
Do you?
Next one.
Good luck trying to trade into your FIFA 2019, mate.
Would you rather constantlyantly be closed lips smiling
Like that
Or
Constantly be resting bitch face
They stay that way regardless of what your actual emotions are
Smiling
It's a bit creepy that one
Doesn't matter
Your mum's dead
Yeah
What if you see a car crash And you go over and they're like,
there's bodies everywhere.
Someone ring the police.
Ring an ambulance.
You're like.
Exactly.
But the thing is, though, that's not my problem.
Because they're just like, they've got to look at it.
And they'll be like, he's weird.
I'll be like, no, I'm trying to.
Hey, yeah.
Can I call the ambulance?
Ambulance, please.
Do you know what I mean?
I'm not bothered. I don't have to see that, apart from when I'm brushing my Hey yeah Pick up the ambulance Ambulance please Do you know what I mean I'm not bothered
Like I don't have to
I don't have to see that
Apart from when I'm
Brushing my teeth off it
Maybe if I'm like sad
And I look myself in the mirror
I'm like
What's going on
You fucking freak
But then that's like
Quite rare
But what if someone
Like breaks down
And like
Lloyd I've
I've had the test back
And
It's
It's pretty bad.
I've got two months to live.
Why are you smiling, Lloyd?
You know about the condition?
No, you can't tell anyone.
Oh, yeah.
To be fair.
But they've known me.
If someone that close is telling me...
You've got to extend...
You're not thinking any of these through, Adam.
I'm really sorry, mate.
I love it when people get into them.
That's ridiculous.
Yeah, but that person who has felt compelled to tell me
that they've got such a bad, you know, situation in their life,
there's a reason why they're telling me that.
I mean, presumably friends, lover, family.
I mean, therefore, this isn't the first time we've met,
so they know about that.
So that's fine.
It's only in situations where, you know...
Yeah, strangers.
I've just been mugged.
Guys, can you help me?
I've just been mugged.
And they're going, what?
That's the situation where it's a bit weird.
But then again,
he's just having to explain himself, I suppose, too.
No, it's not resting up, Seth.
I fucking hate in a crowd
when you're having a good night
and then there's just some fucking punter with a fucking hate in a crowd when you're having a good night and then there's
just some fucking
punter
with a fucking face
like a slapped heart
like
and it's
it is resting up's face
would you rather that
or just
awful
or just that smile
like
no matter what
you're doing
you're ripping it
would you rather that
that's more than
you look a bit simple
when we did the
Jonathan Ross show
and they made everyone
in the audience
wear a mask
with a smile on it.
It throws you, bro.
It was fucking terrifying.
Let me tell you right now,
you don't want a room full of people just...
I saw it.
It's not good.
On that one, Rob came up and went,
did you say no?
The mask would throw you.
I didn't think they would.
He went, it'd do.
So I literally watched people in the masks
just for like 10 minutes just to get myself into that.
And it's like, you can't, it's a weird situation.
It was a gag.
I watched the start.
I watched him trying to explain it.
Like, this will be funny.
And you're like, it wasn't.
You should have just left it as masks.
But yeah, even if you've got the masks on,
I think you've got to reference it.
It's just like, and I think that way they did.
It just made it harder for the comedians.
But in the end, you've got an edit and that's beautiful.
So it doesn't mean much. Keep that. But I i um yeah i'd say smiling i think smiling i'd rather have the
bitch face me you know what as well and also and this is really wanking me but my whole thing in
life is to make people happy and it sounds so it's like that is literally all i want to do
that's why my stand-up is so i'm always about the joke it's always me that's the bell end in it
i don't like taking the mick out of people on stage
just because, like, I just want people to be happy.
And that is, you know, it goes back to issues of me just wanting to be loved.
But at the same time, it's like, I just want people to be happy.
And, like, I will very rarely be nasty to people on stuff.
So if you can see someone walking down the road and they're smiling,
you automatically feel like, oh, what's he smiling for, do you know what I mean
so I think that's quite a nice thing to
kill three people
I've got away with it
you've killed three people but you're walking past say 200 people a day
and you're making them feel happier
do you know what I mean, so on average
is it worth it?
I loved how you just did that maths
three people are dead but 200 people
are smiling
that's the moral quandary though isn't it
like if murdering someone
every six months
makes you a better person
oh it's about murder
he's going to kill someone one day
and who's he here with all the time
if you kill one person
every like six months
but it makes you a better person to enrich the lives.
If you just need it out of your system,
is that morally acceptable?
Haveawordpod at gmail.com
if you'd like to get involved.
Is it though?
No.
I love it, I love it.
Because you're making more than one person.
Are we actually answering the fucking question?
It's a serious question.
I think legally, no.
I didn't say legally, I said morally. It's not just the person who. It's a serious question. I think legally, no. I didn't say legally.
I said morally.
It's not just the person who dies who's unhappy, you know.
You've got me.
Twice a week.
It's my life.
What, have you just killed lonely people?
How you doing, mate?
You all right?
Yeah, I'm all right, mate.
In the bleak.
I'm feeling really well.
Sorry.
Do you ever have a word?
Yeah.
Ready?
It's time to have a word with Adam and Dan.
Tell us all the problems you have with your friends.
This was going to be the whole podcast.
Now it's just the final 10%.
Oh!
Great carol.
Great carol.
So, I'm going to give Lloyd the option.
So, we've got tattoos.
Have a word to like problem solving.
Yeah, yeah.
Cool, cool.
Reverse agony and sorts of things.
Tattoos.
Dirty neighbour.
Dirty.
Slaggy auntie.
Dirtying Scouse is great.
Dirty. Slaggy Auntie Dirty in Scouse is great Dirty
Slaggy Auntie
Or
New Manager
Let's go with New Manager
Ooh
New Manager
Can't like this one
New Manager for three
Desmond Tutu
And Ace Ventura
Weird
Very, very creative
Love the podcast
And want you to sort
my mate's head out for me.
He's recently been promoted
to bar manager
in work
which is sound
but he's become
an absolute bellend
and the power has gone
to his head.
He's gone from being
one of the boys
to being a bellend
who tells us what to do.
He's overly nitpicky
with menial jobs
and he's talking to us
like we're beneath him.
It's just a joke.
He's a casual fan
of the podcast
and he'll probably hear this so yeah, have a word with him. His name's Nick. Oh like we're beneath him. It's just a joke. He's a casual fan of the podcast, and he'll probably hear this.
So, yeah, have a word with him.
His name's Nick.
Oh, we know a Nick.
Who's a bar manager.
Also, do you know when I decided exactly how this was going to go,
our opinion on it, when I heard casual listener,
I'm like, well, I think I have just come down on one side of this.
What do you reckon it's a
it's a tough one
because obviously
Nick
has just got a promotion
and especially
in this day and age
you know what I mean
with these scary times
you need to be
keeping that job
and you need to be
showing
your line manager
that you're doing
a good job
so it's a
it's always difficult
when you have to manage your friends or family.
It is fucking horrible.
It's horrible, yeah.
I'm about to get into a situation...
We don't really do real advice.
All right, do you know how?
No, he's very grown up, though.
Offensive opinions.
Offensive opinions.
Just go again.
Yeah.
Nick can go fuck himself.
Yeah!
You casual numbs. is that the kind of
thing you want yeah all right have you ever been a manager have you ever been a manager
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah well i had a different i was i was a producer um for an experiential
live marketing agency um who did an experiential live marketing agency he did events globally
um so yeah
I did
I was a manager
for a little while
have you ever been
promoted at any point?
I got promoted to
what was my job?
supervisor
and you were a massive cunt
I wasn't a massive cunt
wow
this is next
but I
you do have to
I empathise with it a bit
because you do
you do get lent on
by the people above you
like the bar managers
and that
they're like
you're not staff anymore
you have to tell people
what to do
why are you allowed
to give normal advice
I got fucking ripped for it
this is unbelievable
this is my podcast mate
so
but for 50p an hour
you're basically
he wasn't my supervisor
by the way
alright
fuck that
alright mate
not until now mate
that's what they do though
innit
the bosses are like
we'll make you a supervisor
Come on, you'll get 50p an hour extra
And now be an arsehole
20p
20p an hour extra
But I just wanted the
I'm a competitive guy, aren't I?
I've gone up the list there
I'm climbing the ladder to
Owning my own bar
Do you think you'd be a good boss?
If this really kicks off
And we've got fucking
Whole production staff
Do you think you'd be a dead sound boss? Yeah, yeah yeah yeah just do what you're fucking told and i won't have
to tell you off that's exactly what i do oh that's great just do your cunting job and everything will
be fine there is a skill to being a sound manager if you can if you can pitch it by going look i'm
not gonna fuck around we've got a job to do.
General manager, thank you.
You need to get the authority right and then also not be an absolute mini Hitler.
I did it where I was friends with the staff
and it was like, hey, why are you being a knobhead to me?
That's the way, isn't it?
And you're like, oh, sweet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It just depends what your demeanour is like as well
because if you seem to be a pushover,
then people will push you over
whereas I mean I wouldn't really mess with you
in any situation to be fair Carl
because he's editing it
so I think it just depends who you are as well
and Nick I think Nick just going back to
serious advice might think ah shit
I need to stamp my authority here
it might calm down but for the time being
just rinse him
outside of work just rake just rinse him outside of work.
Just rake his life out outside of work.
Create a new WhatsApp group.
Don't delete him from the one he's in.
Just still talking there every now and then.
Make a new WhatsApp group and call it like Nick's a twat
and talk about something like that.
Get it all out.
That's the worst.
That people who do fucking sub.
Sub WhatsApp groups.
Yeah, but they've got to deal with the dickhead somehow.
Horrible. does someone do
that to you
no I just
I've seen
you sure
maybe they have
how would I know
every time you
send me a private
message on whatsapp
although not that
genuinely haven't
happened I feel like
going god what's
about to go down
here why are we
not in the like
podcast group
it's the three of
you the podcast
group
yeah
just cunty isn't
it
don't get gel
that's cute
don't get jelly. That's cute.
Don't get jelly, baby.
That's cute.
Can we do Dirty Neighbour as well?
I really want to see what Dirty Neighbour was about.
Is that possible?
I actually wanted Tattoo.
Oh, do you?
Oh, no, no, it's guest.
No, no, no.
No, guest preference.
Side and vote.
What is it?
Dirty Neighbour or Tattoo.
Tattoo?
Yeah, it's right.
It's right.
Coming in your head, coming in your head, coming in your head coming in your head coming in your head
is that the song

all the things I said
all the things I said
all the things I said
the lesbian one
that was great
when we were in school
yeah they've just come out
you should check them out
they'll be right up your street
it's a fresh
it's a fresh new beat
for you to get on with
2006
oh that's a good one
keep playing
that was very popular
in the old boys game
why does it make me laugh?
He pretended to edit
as we go.
It's really got me today.
You know what would be
really funny?
If you just cut out
all of the keep that ins
but not the actual things
just where he says it.
And at the end
just keep it.
Alright lads
loving the pod
can you please have
a serious word
with our mate Charlie.
He seems to be enjoying
getting bent over
and shafted by his boss
because he works like a
dog for shit pay most people wouldn't
even get out of bed for. With the little money he
has, he spends it on horrific tattoos
you'd expect to find in a kid's sticker book.
Sticker book. And it's only getting worse.
Fucking hell.
One of his new designs is a prison tattoo
and we're sure he's never even walked
past one, never mind being in one.
He likes to show off his new ink at his local pub where he often ends up he often ends the night hanging out the back
of a sea creature jesus christ next to a table full of mozambique
we decided to take him to bali on a lad's holiday to have a word
but instead after a few games
of STI bingo he ended up
with another awful tattoo across his leg saying
I came to Bali to find meself
He likes to think of himself as a real rock and roller
but we feel he needs to just
he needs a two stretch to calm the flash
fucker down. We're deeply concerned
about our mate Charlie but he won't listen to us. Please have a word
lads from Aaron and Marty.
So, he's working for shit money,
he's spending all his shit money on tattoos,
and he's a bit of a manslag.
Nothing wrong with that.
Can't judge that, can we?
Any of it.
Nah.
No, no, the manslag bit.
We're not in any position to be like,
it's disgusting, you need to find someone and settle down.
Jack use!
But in terms of the tattoos, it's a difficult one because find someone and settle down but in terms of the
tattoos it's a
difficult one because
they're done aren't
they
the tattoos
you're well more
of a slag than I am
or what you were
more of a slag than I
am
I was a bit of a
dirty boy back in
the days
as long as he's
happy
like and he's
getting his tattoos
and he's enjoying
his tattoos
he might regret him
later on down the
line but that's what
laser surgery is for
he's just gonna have to work double shifts in order to pay He might regret them later on down the line, but that's what laser surgery's for.
He's just going to have to work double shifts in order to pay for it.
You can't laser surgery your whole body, though, can you?
I'm sure it's possible. It'll just take ages.
You're just going to look like Deadpool.
Yeah, but that's fine there, isn't it?
No, there's a... I mean, you can laser surgery off, like, I love, you know, Darren,
and then you've got a bit of a weird bit of skin.
But if you've had him everywhere...
He's gone. You all right? It's a long drive in the Range Rover. How lucky would it of skin. But if you've had him everywhere, he's gone.
You all right?
It's a long drive in a Range Rover.
How lucky would it be, though,
if you got an I love Darren
and Darren fucked off
and you met another Darren?
What are you looking for?
What are you looking for, Sophie?
I just want, you know,
specifically a Darren.
Yeah.
But when would you show him the tattoo?
About six years in.
No, three or four weeks in,
go, look, I know this is a bit keen,
but there you go. Oh, it's faded quite a lot. lot yeah it's actually the style of it i'm not i'm one i'm one
are not two oh shit tattoos were done well are super fucking cool some girls with it's so sexy
and when it's got wrong it's like oh it's just a shit top you can't take off in it it's like you
know when someone buys bad club and you're're like, ooh, someone spent some money
on a fucking clothes shop and shouldn't have.
But tattoos are forever.
Well, it's like they get used to it
and then they be, they like, no,
I've not got any tattoos.
Like, I do like a sexy tattoo on a girl, though.
Do you?
Where do you like it?
Arms.
Anywhere.
Foot, arms.
Leg.
Yeah.
Oh, he loves a thigh tattoo.
Oh, yeah. Thigh tattoo. Side one. No, he does. Oh, no, he does specifically. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Arms Foot Arms Leg Yeah Oh he loves a thigh tattoo Do you love a thigh tattoo?

Something on a hand as well

Little side thing
Maybe
The name of her seven children
Well maybe you'll meet someone
With a thigh tattoo
Face
Oh face
Like permanent face paint
Yeah
Have you been
In a Mexican prison?
I think you'd fucking You'd meet a really nice guy there.
Have I told you I get like turned on by Halloween?
Oh, God.
Good Lord.
What?
Don't act surprised you know this.
Who are we having to have a word with?
Like fancy dress.
Oh, fancy dress, yeah.
You are not coming trick or treating with my three-year-old.
Tell you what, Zanetta's looking fucking great.
Where did she get that witch's outfit?
Look at her.
Look at her.
Like, fancy dress.
Does something for me.
And, like, seeing a girl dressed as, like, a zombie with blood coming out of her and all that,
it just does something.
So, like, permanent tattoo of that, I could live with that.
Well, a permanent tattoo of her being beaten up is basically what you're saying.
This is awful, mate.
Not beaten up.
Made and done.
Oh, yeah, that's fine fine isn't it jesus christ
my old faithful on halloween i am a few years back went to my my auntie works in a hospice in
in grimsley where i'm from and there's a poster on the wall and it was like um halloween party
having a halloween party in a hospice was like they were having a halloween party in palliative
care and there's like and I was like
it's just the patients
seems a bit insensitive
given the situation
yeah
but they said
Halloween fancy dress
prizes for best dressed
rules
I was like
what I love more
than a Halloween party
is a Halloween party
in a hospice
what I love more
than a Halloween party
in a hospice
Halloween party in a hospice
with rules
I was like
and he was like
no
and he said
ghosts zombies Halloween party in hospice. Halloween party in hospice with rules. I was like, and it's like, no. And he said,
ghosts,
zombies,
uh,
no,
it's ghosts,
zombies,
um,
gravestones.
Oh God.
And then the one underneath it,
there was a few of those that I was like,
okay.
And then the,
this is,
this is not,
I've tried doing this as material and it's not funny,
but it's just so much.
The one, what the last one said, cats. to my answer like why he loves to dress up as a catcher you know what i
thought it was weird and i said one of the girls that works here apparently it's because cats have
nine lives and they don't want to rub it in i was like fuck off no one's looking at that and going
oh we can't no because cats have nine lives don't they and like we've only got one i was like
are you being serious
so someone would
put that on there
go away
dogs
that's fine
I think it's just
been pumpkins
pumpkins and super heroes
that hospice in
Grimsby needs to
lean into fucking
Christmas and Easter
a bit more
it was just outside
of Grimsby as well
I just changed it
because I didn't want
to know who they were
but
oh my god
my years are sore
this has been such a good one.
It's been so much fun.
Thanks for coming in.
Is that it?
Yeah.
Am I done?
That's the pod.
Great.
Can I have a wee?
Oh,
did we actually have a wee?
I mean,
sort of.
He's living his best life.
Let him do it.
You can't.
He's got,
he's covered in tattoos.
He's done the damage.
You know you can have it all
have sex with whoever you want
dressed as whoever you are
with whatever it is on your body
and just
fuck your boss off
your mates are dicks
okay
oh mate
I've had a fun one
it's been good
have you got anything to plug
what
you got anything to plug
during the global pandemic mate
nah not really
no have you not got a podcast
