because you can't be
sitting at home

thanks mate
if you were asymptomatic
would you
would you want the test
and be found out
you've got to stay at home
there's loads of studies
saying you can't pass it on
anyway me day
if you're asymptomatic
you can't pass it on
is that true?
I've seen a couple of things
on Twitter
because
one of the symptoms of coronavirus is cough and sneeze,
and that's how you pass it.
If you're not coughing and sneezing...
You've got to be kissing.
You've got to be licking something, or...
Anyway, back to last night.
Yeah, let's not gloss over that.
Because you're, sorry, asymptomatic,
I mean, what damage could you do?
So you fucked someone last night.
Great, great, great.
So you licked and kissed someone.
All right, cool, cool, cool.
Look, we won't go into
too many details

all I'll say is
I've been on a few dates

stop doing football
analogies
you little fucking weirdo
we do it for everyone
no no
it's just
and you know
afterwards we had the
interview
and then we had a rub down
and just looking forward
to a transfer really
to some
a bigger club
and
what
I absolutely don't want to be going
anywhere near a bigger club how how does it't want to be going anywhere near a bigger club.
How does it feel to be back in the game?
Oh, it feels wonderful.
With a row D.
Is it nice?
Yeah.
Did you get all self-conscious where you're like,
I'm getting naked?
No, because the last time I fucked someone,
I was three stone heavier.
So you were like,
Ta-da!
Patrick Bateman.
Oh my goodness me.
Do you need some kitchen roll?
Because you must be pretty damp.
Oh my God.
Yeah, you forget that though
because in comparison to my own picture of myself
in the mirror naked,
I look fucking great at the minute.
But this still is a problem to a new pair of eyes.
She's like,
are you okay?
Is everything all right?
Jesus. Did you leave your t-shirt on
in the pool
was it one of them
did I leave my t-shirt on
did you go full nuddy
have you ever seen that
I was full nuddy
I left my socks on at first
when you were like t-shirt
then when we finished
I was like
I'm going to take these off
you wore socks
I was fully dressed
and then
it just started happening
oh lord
so she undressed me
but she never got down to take me socks off.
No, you do it yourself with your toe.
Come on, lad.
You can take your socks off.
Come on, mate.
With your feet.
Adam.
Yeah?
The other foot?
Everyone can.
It's the gentlemanly slip and slide.
Are you messing?
I honestly cannot get my head around being able to do that.
You get your big toe in there, and you're like, you know, while you're... Well, I able to do that. You get your big toe, you get your big toe in there
and you're like,
you know,
while you're...
Well, I didn't do that.
I finished having sex
and then realised
I still had my
SpongeBob socks on.
That bullshit.
No, they were just
black Nike ones.
You can't be having
Nike ones.
Like the thick ones.
Can I just say,
by the way,
you can be having sex
with your socks on.
You can't.
Just not early days.
The second time.
Not early days. The second go. Champions League game. I took them off. Sex never your socks on just not early days the second time not early days

sex never with socks on
why haven't we got
a camera on you

I want everyone to see
the look of disgust
on Carl's face
he's like
for fuck's sake lad
you fucking take
your socks off
with magic
that's what you
fucking do
well I noticed
I got to the end
and I was like
I've got my socks on I'm taking them off and I was like, oh, my socks are on.
I'm taking them off
and I sucked them off.
She definitely noticed,
by the way.
So what?
I can tell.
I can tell.
That's debut.
You wore your T-shirt
inside out on your debut,
basically.
It's the number on the front.
Yeah.
If it carries on, though,
if it carries on as a thing,
if it develops and blossoms,
you fucking leave everything on, don't you?
You get to a point in a relationship, mid-winter,
where basically...
Shag him with your jeans on.
Oh, mate.
Just, like, slightly pull her pyjama bottoms down,
like, go on, then, go on.
That is love after about five years of, like...
I've been with my girlfriend nine years, it fucking isn't.
Carl, I'm getting bored of how amazing your life is
i've never thought in front of my girlfriend i'd never dream of it in front of my angel
i get i get naked through telekinesis shut up you rat
slipping down a bit so in the midwinter when you're like can we have a can we have a sex
baby and she's like oh have you brushed your teeth yeah and then she's like just quickly then you're like yeah that's the future sounds horrible

listen
just call it a fucking
body warmer
and don't make yourself
look like a fucking
thick cunt

it's a gillet it is a gillet but in Liverpool it's a gillet inn you got your fucking gillet on? Jesus. It's a gillet though, innit? It's a gilet.
It is a gilet, but in Liverpool, it's a gillet, innit?
You wear a gillet.
It's just a nut.
Do you eat fucking croissants as well?
No.
No?
No.
We have fucking toast like normal wear.
What do you call a croissant in Liverpool?
One of them fucking round cakey things.
One of them noncy bread breakfast shits.

all the fucking
gimmicks no it's not you're just wrong I linguinis like him and all the fucking gimmicks.
No, it's not.
You're just wrong.
I love it when you defend yourself.
I'm not saying I'm right,
but I'm saying it's still all right to say it like that.
But I love it how he always makes Liverpool a part of it.
There's loads of people from Liverpool going,
shut the fuck up, Adam.
No one's...
You just say Gilly.
You knew what I meant.
The only reason for language to be a thing
is so that you can understand what I'm talking about.
I said gilly.
You knew what I meant.
So therefore, the purpose of that word was saved.
Shut up.
I knew what you were talking about
because you fucking touched the thing.
Every time.
No, because in Liverpool, we say gilly
and there's literally 10,000 Scousers going,
no, we don't, mate.
No, we don't.
I'm not saying that.
But look, the only reason for words to exist
Is so that you can understand
What I'm talking about
And you understood
What I was talking about
Because you touched it
And you pointed at it
Oh if I'd have said gillet
You'd have been like
What could you possibly mean
Leave my gillet on
While I sat there in a gillet
It sounds like
A bird
Don't it
Have you ever seen the beautiful
I'm right though aren't I
That's the purpose of words
So like
That's where slang comes from innit
Yeah
That's the purpose of language But you're also wrong Yeah But where slang comes from, innit? Yeah, it's the purpose of language, but you're also wrong.
Yeah.
But it doesn't matter if I'm wrong as long as you understand me.
Mate, you're having a fucking nightmare there.
Climb off the old ladder.
I've never kept a body warmer on during sex.
I'm just saying, in bed, you leave your socks on.
You leave your T-shirt on sometimes, don't you?
I love how at the start, you were actually in support of me,
and I managed to get pissed off with you.
Do you wear a t-shirt
in bed?
I do sometimes.
I don't wear pyjamas.
Yeah,
they don't even.
I think they're a bit
noncy pyjamas.
I actually find it
more sexy
when a girl's
got clothes on.
Do you know what I mean?
Must be a problem
when, you know,
you're out in public
and Morrison's like,
oh my god look at
her wearing jeans the dirty bitch did i say this on an episode of this to me and nando's now into
toilet yeah like i find clothes attract like pajamas are fucking great like a skirt you know
i'm like fucking jaru i gotta finish for fucking you with your skirt on that's me right i get that
yeah i get that do Yeah, I get that.
Do you know what I mean?
But you're not getting girls to go to bed in like full fucking skirt and everything, are you?
No.
Yeah, okay.
But I get it.
Like the lingerie thing, some clothing stuff.
I think secretary porn is quite sexy.
Just like a loose fit and t-shirts
and a pair of like shorts.
Like cyclic shorts.
Just any clothes whatsoever.
So you like footy shirts? Yeah. And loose, you like footballers? Oh, a pair of like shorts like like just any any clothes so you like footy shirts
yeah you like a bit of a footy shirt yeah yeah so what do you watch football and you want to
shag all the men because i don't you know why because they're men playing football rather than
being a sexy woman in a footy top i feel like i feel like what carl did there with the banter
was his dick came out and then he's fucking hit his dick on a leg.
We have this discussion all the time now.
Then he thinks he's winning, but the bigger point is,
you love girls going, I'm in your team's top.
It doesn't have to be my team.
It doesn't.
No.
She ends up in a blue shirt.
I would absolutely fuck the life out of a girl in a Coventry top.
Yeah.
Coventry. I Yeah. Coventry?
I think that actually counts as like a fetish.
Even lads in Coventry are like, what the fuck?
I grew up with a fucking nuts and zoo magazine.
I used to buy them and keep them under me bedside drawers.
Don't count Liverpool.
Right.
What are the most fuckable?
You've got a fit girl.
Old lady tits.

because you're a fucking
little poor fan

I don't love Dortmund

the clop
I'm not saying that

on everything?
Stevenage.

Like, there's two layers to that.
I'm horny and I'm hungry.
Let's do both.
There's two layers.
That's fucking really...
There's two layers there.
Real Barca.
I don't like them as clubs
but yeah
does that affect it
yeah
he's shagging
thinking about their
transfer policy
do you know what I mean
I'll never forgive
Real Madrid
for Michael Owen
and I'll never forgive
Barca for Coutinho
or Suarez
the fit is
who's your like

Just come
Adam
Just get little Vinny out

And you're like
Oh no I can't
Coutinho
No I think I would be able to do it
But it would just take
It would become a 9 out of 10
Rather than a 10
You'd have to not think about certain transfers
I'd have to have Coutinho on the back of the shirt
And a Coutinho mask on And a Coutinho. I'd have to show Coutinho on the back of the shirt.
And a Coutinho mask on.
And a Coutinho mask on. What if it was Coutinho?
Could you put Coutinho in his basket?
Now, erm...
Which footballer would you
if you had to bang
a famous footballer?

The current Juventus,

it's halloween turns them on yeah right, what? So, girls doing sexy Halloween?
No.
No.
You could be dressed as fucking Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.
Just all fancy dress.
Yeah, like cosplay, I think they call it in the porn world.
Like.
You put a blue wig on.
I don't think it's porn.
It's not.
It's not really porn.
It's just.
It's almost like from Comic-Con, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, we're straying into talking about stuff where the people who are
into it get fucking militant about it so we're gonna have to be kept because we trounce all over
some stuff but we won't have to be careful with me because i'm fully on board with what to get
dressed up but i like it just does it for me i don't know what it is halloween doesn't have to
be sexy doesn't have to be sexy at all like proper zombified blood dripping from your face get to
ours girl right
let me stub my dick
on your thigh
are you going anywhere
for halloween
it's halloween this
weekend are you doing
anything for it
this is going out on
monday on the public
episode
i'm not no i'm hoping
to be gigging
halloween
you're just going
around on fucking
trick or treats with
your knob out like
oh my god
look at that sexy
little ghost
it's a boy adam
i couldn't give a fuck
he's really made the
effort with his outfit
come on trick or treat mister i've got a fucking treat for you ghost. It's a boy, Adam. I couldn't give a fuck. He's really made the effort with his outfit. Come on.
Trick or treat, mister. I've got
a fucking treat for you.
The fact that your
brain went there says more about you than
the one who was just like, I fucking love fancy
dress. Anything. Yeah, but I
don't love fucking children.
Yeah, you've got to weigh those off against each other.
There's a trade-off there.
It's the exact same thing as the footballer thing.
I like footy tops, not on footballers, on women.
I like fancy dress, not on children, on women.
What about injured footballers, then?
What do you mean?
Like if they've got a horrific injury, like a Halloween-esque injury.
No, I don't.
It's not.
It's not.
He's like a dog with a bone when he gets going, isn't he?
The common denominator has to be attractive woman,
whatever's woman's footy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you seriously not doing anything for Halloween?
I thought you'd be into it.
If you're into costumes and fancy dress,
are you not doing anything?
Well, there's no nightclubs or anything open, is there?
You can't go fucking trick or treating into the world as well.
Oh, yeah.
What can you...
We're too old for that as well.
Literally, you can basically have a socially distanced,
your own fucking household Halloween party,
and then you're just a bellend dressed as a ghost at home.
Yeah.
Yeah, take that back, actually.
No one's having a great time with Halloween, are you?
I've asked a few comedy clubs if they've got any gaps
because I want to be gigging this weekend
because I didn't gig last weekend.
It feels weird to have breaks like that, doesn't it?
I've got some the week after.
The next week, the 6th of November,
I'm going to be in London at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town.
Up the Creek Comedy Club are doing a gig.
I'm going to be doing a 20-minute set there.
So if you're London-based and you want to come see me...
Up the Creek are doing it.
I thought the Comedy Store are doing it as well.
They're both doing it?
Basically because it's a bigger venue. Yeah, so the comedy clubs are hiring it so they can put more people in so that's a clever little thing isn't it because in the in
the smaller venues that these places run you can't get enough people in to make it a proper gig
because london gigs are so jammed in aren't they yeah because space and fucking uh properties are
premium down there.
How big is the Kentish Town
for? I don't know. I got a phone call yesterday
from Gelly, who runs up the creek.
Dead good guy.
He offered me some December dates, which I couldn't do.
Because in December
I do Hot Water Comedy Club every night
of the week apart from Sundays.
I'm fully booked.
The 6th of November, London. the O2 Forum in Kentish Town.
That will go on sale soon, I imagine, so you can try and find tickets yourself.
I haven't got a link for you.
Hot Water are doing the same at the bigger venue in Liverpool, aren't they?
And on the 7th, I'm doing that.
So the 6th, I'm doing it on the 14th.
What is it? Where's the venue?
It's the small room at the Echo Arena.
The one you opened for me oh my god but they
so it holds 1300 that and i think they can put 400 in at the minute so it's like a seat and then
two empty ones i think um so that's their plan so the 7th of november if you want to see me do a 20
minute stand-up set in liverpool uh hotwatercomedy.co.uk and the 6th of november find up the creek at the kensington forum and obviously dan nightingale hotwatercomedy.co.uk and the 6th of November find Up The Creek
at the Kensington Forum
and obviously
Dan Nightingale
hotwatercomedy.co.uk
for the 14th
you won't see us
both at the same time
I'm hosting that one
are ya?
yeah
you'll fucking kill that as well
I'm er
I loved
playing that big room
for your tour
I mean obviously
you did as well
because it was your tour
but er
I've got that
the natural
arrogance of a performer i'm like this is where i'm meant to be yeah just walked out like i can't
where the fuck's adam you're like thank you everybody thank you i can't wait until this is
all over and i get to do that room again because i know i could sell that room again now. And it will, I loved the first one
and it went really well and everyone there enjoyed it.
But I didn't really take it in.
I didn't, I wasn't in the moment enough.
Do you know what I mean?
I was sort of like, oh my God,
look at this 1,350 people are here to see me.
This is so cool.
And I think, not that it made me have a bad performance
because the energy that gave me,
it just gave me a different type of performance.
I think I had like this excited, half-nervous energy to it,
whereas I'm at my best when I'm sort of really comfortable
and I know exactly what I'm fucking doing.
Yeah, I think that's every comic, innit?
Yeah.
Comedy is a ladder.
The whole industry and your career is a ladder.
Some comics only get four steps up.
At that level, you're way up the the ladder every time you go up a notch there is an element of like adjusting
when you very first do a five minute gig you're like oh my god i'm just i'm on stage for the first
time i'm doing five minutes and then you get used to that and then someone goes mate we've got a 10
minute middle on a weekend you're like you that, and it keeps happening up the,
you're not used to doing 1,300-seaters every night.
There are comics who are used to it.
I had.
Give it time, and you'll be like, this is fucking home.
I had played that room full before,
but it was a hot water comedy club live at the thing,
and I was just doing a 20-minute set on a mixed bill,
and it was just the fact that it was my show.
And I'd done my show the year before I did the Epstein,
which is 380 seats.
We did two nights there.
But to have that many people on one night in that room just for me
was just incredible.
And I think next time I do it, it'll be, oh, I've done this before.
And I want to perform in that room the way I perform clothes
in Hot Water Comedy Club
where I'm just like,
it's my house and I live here.
Yeah, that would be nice.
And then if you make it to that gig
and you really want to knock him off his fucking,
just wear a fancy dress in the front row,
just wear a Coutinho shirt
or just dress up as a ghost
and I'd be like, I'm trying to smash you,
but fuck, you look good. Is it illegal if I get out and just have a Coutinho shirt or just to dress up as a ghost and I'd be like I'm trying to smash you but fuck you look good
is it illegal
if I get out
and just have a little
like could I say
that it's art
what if you
wank on stage
yeah
yeah
can you get it
I was
how am I shocked
question on this podcast
how am I
how is it possible
120 records in to be like good god sir
just crack one out what is it like it would be a bit out of character for you wouldn't it
mate you're more like observational socio-political sort of storytelling if you just cracked one out
and started doing every type of comedy there i know but you know you're just observational
one-liner socio-political opinionated storytelling it's not every type of comedy I know but you know you're just observational one liner socio-political opinionated
storytelling
it's not every type
of comedy
is it
clowning
yeah
you're usually
musical mind
it is illegal
oh yeah
is it
defo though
yeah
because it's a
performance
you can call it
in the streets
a performance
can't you
no because
they've paid
they've come to see me I didn't come to see them
Not like I turned up at the house like
I don't think you're selling any tickets here Adam
I don't think this is the best advert
For that 13
I want to be back in the show
I want to play that 1300 seater
Like I'm on my couch wanking
Do you know what I mean
That's how I know I'll know I'm really meant to be there
Like hello Liverpool
Is he wearing his socks Yeah I am wearing my fucking socks Nothing else Do you know what I mean? That's how I know I'll know I'm really meant to be there. Like, hello, Liverpool.
Is he wearing his socks?
Yeah, I am wearing my fucking socks.
Nothing else.
And a fucking Stevenage burrito.
This has been a weird one.
Loved it.
Yeah.
Bo, so you went to Pizza Hut.
How am I meant to match what we've just talked about for all that time?
Yeah, I did.
And I got my fucking dick out.
Had a stuffed crust.
Stuffed it with my dick.
Yeah.
Tell us your pizza story.
No, it's shit.
Don't want to.
Come on.
It's done.

Mentally
What did you get with your family at pizza?
No I don't
I don't like the voice
I resent this voice
I don't trust this voice
This is a bad voice
I don't feel like I'm in a safe place.
He's touching me.
Pandemic.
Pandemic.
I'm not consenting.
I'm not consenting.
Dan.
Dan.
Oh, his hands are slightly clammy.
I don't know that he's washed them from last night.
I haven't specifically washed them,
but they were in the shower with me.
I was washing my body with them.
That sounds such like murderer talk.
My hands were in the shower with me.
Sometimes I don't shower with my hands.
I like to leave the scent of the lady.
Ah, I can still smell the Borussia Dortmund home shirt.
No, fuck you.
We're not talking about pizza.
I just feel fat.
I'm not going to go on a diet.
Let's have a little interval
and think about everything
that we've just talked about
and then crack on with this bad boy.
What did you get?
Pizza, you fucking lid.

This is Have A Word.
We are back.
I saw this on the email.
Can I run it by the Lidmaster General?
Of course.
This is from Sean.
All right, lads.
This is something that has been bothering me for a while
and I'd love to hear your opinion on it.
Even though the social media exposure
is a positive thing for comedians and comedy clubs,
I can't help but feel like it has created
a bit of a breeding ground for attention seekers.
Do either of you two ever feel like
a crowd or individuals in a crowd
are heckling in an attempt to get themselves
into a Facebook video? I used
to hate the feeling of the atmosphere in a room
changing when a dickhead tried to have
their 15 seconds of fame by shouting
at Paul Smith at hot water.
It may be a useful thing for comics
to have wankers on tap, but as
an audience member,
I sometimes feel that you can be taken out of the moment when this type of person chirps up.
Cheers, Sean.
I thought after we talked about hot water,
I felt that was quite pertinent.
It is.
It's a new thing, this, isn't it?
Only the last few years.
He's right, is the answer.
So there's defo, defo,o people who uh go to hot water in particular
uh and are trying to get themselves on a video so they can go oh is paul smith taking the piss
out of me defo happens and it's definitely not just speculation because a few months ago
it must have been pre-lockdown to start start of the year, or maybe it was December last year, but,
the show had started,
and I was in the bar area,
just getting a bottle of water to take on stage,
because I was opening the show,
and there was a guy in the bar area,
just stood round with two pints,
and I went,
he went,
you alright Adam?
Come to see you and Paul tonight lads,
and I was like,
yeah,
the show starts,
and he went,
yeah I know,
I'm just going to walk in late and I've got
he went and then Paul Smith's going to ask me
this is all true, Paul Smith's going to ask me
where I've been and look at this
and he'd saved a number in his phone
as Paul Smith's mum
and I'd like a conversation
talking about shagging her
and he was like he's going to ask me, isn't he, where I've been
and I'm going to say, I've been texting your ma
and then I'm going to show him this.
So he was waiting in the bar area to do this
and I was like, oh.
He had three props.
Mate, to just say you're going to walk in late on purpose,
he's already like, as soon as you said that,
Carl, who worked at hot water and baby blue
before that just went in my heart i just went oh it's so hacky but then to have three props
pre-prepared like two pints and a little bit of foam banter i don't know how i'm gonna look
fucking i'm gonna look great of course the best thing is don't he walked in with his two pints
paul was talking to someone else and he made a fuss of like sitting down and paul's my friend you're like mate i went straight back to who he was talking to and nothing
happened it was so fucking funny that guy might even listen to this podcast i just want to let
you know lads it's fucking embarrassing that you need to have a way with yourself like people
you see people come in his face as he's coming you alright mate
yeah just get your seat
yep
anyway what do you do
I'll fill you up
you fucking bell whiff
that's the problem
with the legend of hot water
and Paul Smith being
because the clips that go down the best people might watch this and be like That's the problem with the legend of Hot Water and Paul Smith being...
Because the clips that go down the best...
People might watch this and be like,
Oh, I love Paul Smith's videos.
Have you actually watched his stand-up?
Because when he tells a story...
When Paul's got a corking story,
fucking hell.
Like, our whole household uses rat
from when Paul wrote that story about the...
Is it about the threesome he got offered or
something yeah yeah awesome it was yeah and and it's when a great story or piece of stand-up
resonates with comics it'll get retold to comics and and like it becomes part of like i don't know
it's so much better than just a quick bit of banter like paul smith is amazing
at that interaction but it's to you underestimate him if you think he can't do the rest well what
happened when paul smith blew up um a few years ago there was other comics who didn't play hot
water much or that did but only ever seen him comp him like what's he gonna do though is he just gonna
go and do fucking two hours of crime oh? Oh, when the talk, yeah, okay.
I literally had that conversation,
heard that conversation in so many dressing rooms.
He's like, hey, you can't do what's your name,
what's your job on a fucking arena.
Like Paul Smith was just going to go,
all right, what's your name, what's your job?
What's your name, what's your job?
There's 12,000 people in Paul.
It'll take a while.
But what people didn't know about Paul,
just to give him the props he deserves,
so before he blew up,
every year for the Liverpool Comedy Festival,
which is a very small festival,
and he could have done it outside of that,
he would do a solo show every year in Liverpool,
and he's fucking brilliant at putting a show together.
The only thing that I'm jealous of Paul Smith of, because I know in the past people have been like, oh, he's fucking gone through the roof, hasn't he?
Like, you're doing all right.
And people are sort of going, are you jealous of Paul?
I'm absolutely not.
He's one of my best mates.
I love him and I couldn't be happier for him.
But he's got this ability to something can happen to Paul that day.
to something can happen to Paul that day,
and that night,
he's got a 10 minute bit about it,
because he's so good at going on stage,
and just punching up a story live,
and when I watch him do it,
it fucking infuriates me,
because I'm like,
if I had that story happen in six weeks,
I'll make it that good,
you've done it in six hours,
and he hasn't prepped it,
he's just gone on stage,
gone,
I'll talk about this story, and I'll punch it up throughout.
He's fucking unbelievable at it.
But to get back to the question at hand,
I've seen Paul in Newcastle.
The only tour show of Paul I've seen was in Newcastle.
I was at the stand,
and he just happened to be doing Newcastle City Hall,
and I got there to watch,
and the amount of people who've gone going,
it's all going to be crowd work,
it's all going to be crowd work,
and what he's had to do, and I think he's happy
to do this anyway, because he's known for crowd work
he opens for
his opener, so he goes
on and he does 20 minutes of comparing
even in the Echo
Arena, when he played the Echo Arena
he went on at the start and
they'd made a stage
for him that wasn't the usual
stage, he could step down onto.
Like on Dave Chappelle's Sticks and Stones special,
in front of the stage there was just a little platform
so that they could wrap the audience around him.
So he went on and did a, what do you do, what do you do,
bit of piss taking.
And what he was also doing was setting up characters in the audience
for his show, finding the dickhead, finding the posh guy,
so he could reference them with his bit.
And he does that.
I love to know how far you'd have gone.
Finding, you know, the Jewish guy,
finding the disabled guy.
Stop the list, Adam.
Finding the...
All right, sorry.
Finding his one Asian fan.
Your eyes up there, kid!
The most scouse Asian alright lad
I'm dead Asian
have we told you about
John Chan
what
yeah yeah you have
yeah yeah yeah
the guy who runs
the Chinese
we are running out of
original content
on this podcast
we told you about John Chan
yeah yeah yeah
the Asian stuff's running thin
but yeah he
Carl come on
what
you're called Sensei Carl we've got a little bit to go on Asian stuff's running thin but yeah he Carl come on what you're called Sensei Carl
we've got a little bit
to go on Asian stuff
oh I've got loads
Paul Smith
patreon.com
slash have a word pod
ow
so he goes out
does crowd work
brings his support act on
they have a break
and then he does his show
and the reason he does it that way
is so that the audience
have had time
to get that
crowd work heckly thing out their system
yeah at the comedy
club at hot water people are absolutely
going at most
comedy clubs you know when like you arrive
at the glee club in Birmingham and
the way you get into that building is the same way as
the audience so you hear people
getting shown to their seats and
you'll hear people going oh don't put
me on the front row I don't want to get picked on
Hot Water Comedy Club is the only one where I've ever
heard people go, I don't want to sit there, put me on the front
because they want
the interaction with Paul
It doesn't happen as much as you think, I fucking hated
that in Hot Water
Getting people on the front row or stopping balance
because if you run a comedy club
there's a red light flashing when someone
turns up going, I want to be in the front!
You're like, you're a fucking nomad.
Yeah, it was not putting them on the front because they're going to ruin it.
And it was making sure...
I put a lot of couples on the front because there's always fire there.
But it's people who stand up at the front.
It's people who get in the front of the queue.
Because you've got to remember, Hot Water's 220 people,
and I've got to sit them down in 20 minutes.
So it's a fucking... it's an operation.
Just sit where you get told to sit. i'm not sitting on the front i'm like unfortunately
either leave the queue or you are because you can't sit back to front that's impossible because
if we've not got enough then oh i'm not sitting on the front lad you'd have to leave the queue then
i had to get to the point where i'm telling people to just leave then because it was yeah and that's
the other that the flip side of that is some people are really into it but also the legend of our water means that some people would
rather be anywhere but the front but it still comes down to you've gotta let this shit happen
naturally yeah yeah you can't force it it's so fake like it also we crowds are incredibly
perceptive even on like Facebook videos or whatever,
you can pick up when it's not real.
When you're like, that's a fucking fake.
You know when there's things that have clearly been set up to go viral?
You're just like, bullshit.
It's not a real video.
It's the same with interaction.
Crowds love it.
This is why we both love stand-up.
We all love stand-up.
And I remember seeing Dave Johns do comedy
way back, like 20 years ago,
and he just riffed for 45 minutes
closing the hyena in Newcastle.
And I sat there,
probably like kids sit there watching Paul Smith now.
If you're into comedy like you were at 18,
there's a whole generation of young lads going,
fuck, I want to do comedy.
I've seen these videos.
Go down to Hot Water,
and they must watch Paul Smith and go,
you're a fucking wizard
how are you doing this
but when it's forced
or crowbarred
it doesn't half take away
from the magic of it
and if
if a crowd
senses that something's
been set up
they really don't like it
not that that's what
we're talking about
but it's just
it's like ah mate
you clearly want it
fuck off
and also
like people who aren't in
comedy and i know this is sort of gonna piss off some of our listeners who think they're hilarious
you're not as funny as you think you are people who try and make comedians laugh after the show
it's often like you don't realize how funny our friends are you don't realize how funny a green
room is and it's they don't understand the subtlety and how something works
so like
when Paul's on stage
and he goes to someone
this is just
off the top of my head
so he goes
oh what you do lad
and he's like
I work in deliveries
I'm a delivery driver
I work for a pharmaceutical company
and he can go
fucking drug dealer right
yeah
that gets a laugh
but I've seen people
trying to get on videos
going what you do lad
and he goes
I'm a drug dealer
and the subtlety
is just fucking gone.
The only reason that's funny is because when Paul's talking to someone
who clearly isn't a drug dealer,
but he can draw a parallel to what a drug dealer would be,
that's why that's funny.
Just fucking coming in with your fucking axe and going,
drug dealer!
I'm a drug dealer!
Play the straight man.
Do us a favor.
Do all comedians a favor.
When you're a comedy club,
just play the straight man.
When you're getting asked questions.
Yeah.
Hey, by the way,
we're not saying if some of the funniest things I've seen is when an
audience member sees the joke or sees the opportunity to just land a
perfect shot,
whether it's at the,
another audience member,
they're great.
I'm not against audience interaction like that. It can be tremendous tremendous but when you're like what's your name what's your job
don't be like uh my name's uh fucking barry and you're like and then all the mates are laughing
like it's not really called barry uh what'd you do uh not a lot oh just fuck off and die yeah
what i love is when there's an audience member,
this happens quite often at Christmas,
especially at Hot Water,
is when it's all groups and it's all work parties or stag do's or whatever,
there's one person in that group
and it's normally the least attractive lad in the group.
It's the guy who is the funny guy.
And he's so used to all my mates the reason i get asked to hang out with these lads is because i'm the fucking funny
one and then all of them have paid 17 pound to listen to someone else be funny and they just
can't fucking handle it and they're like he's and then they try and join in and they realize they're
not professional level funny they're not 17 pound the ticket funny they're four pints around the
table and weatherspoon's funny and they're like well i'm gonna say well what about this
and everyone's just like what the fuck are you talking about john and then they feel awful and
then they get aggressive and then they always end up getting kicked out because they just can't handle the fact they're not the guy anymore because they're normally yeah
they're the they're the they're almost like the funny alpha yeah and then someone's on he's got
a fucking microphone i couldn't have a microphone you're like you're deaf i couldn't do the amount
of the amount of stags i've kicked out groups of lads yeah having said that when a stag do's on
board the energy they bring is fucking great.
Stags and hens getting slagged off
is like the oldest thing in stand-up.
But when a stag and hen are in
and they're into it,
they take the energy up a whole level
because they're coming with fucking
Saturday, biggest weekend of their year energy.
Like, oh my God, Chloe's getting married,
but we love comedy.
It's amazing.
The flip side of that is like the worst. energy like oh my god chloe's getting married but we love comedy it's amazing the other the flip
side of that is like the worst the best the best audience you can have as a club comic
is full of groups that are all on board like if the room's full of couples it's a safe it's safer
yeah and you know you're gonna get at least a six out of ten that night,
but the maximum of an eight, when it's full of groups,
you know it could be a fucking two.
You could be going home with your arse handed to you
and getting a fucking bottle of wine to take the edge off on the way home,
but you could also be carried out by the fucking audience.
It's why.
Like, we play the frog and bucket a lot,
and I hope, like, people don't mind us saying
this the frog and bucket amongst comedians at times as a bit of art a bit rough fucking weekend
it's big groups and that when the frog is on fire when the frog's good there isn't a better room in
the country and you're high and you're central and they're all around you closing the frog on a good
night is the gig if you're a good club cop You have to be good
You have to really know what you're doing
You have to know the beats of your set
It's a high status club
You can't close the frog
My flatmate's mental
I don't know what I do with the sex
You can do that in the middle of the frog
If you're lucky
You can do that in the middle anywhere
I'm not good with girls But if the middle of the frog, if you're lucky. You can do that in the middle anywhere, can't you? I'm not good with girls.
But if you're closing the frog and you're a high status,
I know what I'm doing.
Like, what I love at the frog is when it's been amazing all night
and I walk out with a Scouse accent,
because it's in Manchester and someone goes,
the fucking Scouse prick!
Because I've got a bit I open with about,
shut the fuck up, let's go and uh the second i do
it you feel the whole room including the heckle ago he knows what he's doing yeah and it's it's
the trial by fire trial by fire best thing that can happen to me in manchester i remember just
to bring this up again because it's been a few months and i haven't mentioned it when i opened
for bill bear in manchester and I'm backstage and he went,
you all right?
And I went, yeah, I just know I'm going to get heckled
the second I walk out.
And he shit himself.
He went, what do you mean?
I went, well, I'm from Liverpool
and there's a big rivalry between the two cities.
I was like, it's like Boston and New York,
but like we're closer and it's more visceral
and there's a longstanding hatred
because we used to take their work.
And he was like, is everything going to be okay?
And I was like, yeah, let's just do this bit
and it'll turn around.
But I'll walk out with a Scouse accent and go...
And someone will heckle.
So I walked out.
Great opening line.
Earlier that day, Man City had won a game
and it put them top of the league,
but we had a game in hand and we were only two points behind.
Yeah.
So I walked out and went,
what's happening, Manchester?
My name's Adam, I'm from Liverpool.
And someone shouted,
we're top of the league, you scouse prick!
Right?
And Bears had their fucker in the wings
and he's like, oh.
And I did my bit and it just ripped it.
And it turned the,
we were in the Apollo, the 0-2 Apollo in Manchester, and it just ripped it and it turned the what we were in the apollo the o2 apollo in
manchester and it just made three and a half thousand people go because opening for a big
american act as fun as it is and to get that picture with your fucking hero is a is amazing
it really is but opening for someone when you're not listed it's not bill bear plus support on the
ticket it's built so it's yeah it's a slog, isn't it?
I've mentioned this before,
but we've got a lot of people new to this podcast.
The way I was introduced was fucking brilliant.
Kenny, Club Soda Kenny,
who's a bit of an American comedy legend.
He worked with Dice Clay.
He's Bill Bear's tour manager,
and he's so fucking cool.
He's a former cop.
He's so imposed, and he's massive.
He did the announcements over the mic for when i did
glasgow and when i did manchester he didn't do it in london because in london it was for the special
so they got they wanted a woman to do the voiceover they got this woman with a really
sultry voice remember ladies and gentlemen bill burr but when kenny introduced me they didn't
know there was a support act and this is how he did it. I think I've told you this before.
He goes,
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the O2 Apollo here in Manchester,
where tonight we present live in concert
Bill Burr!
And they'd go mental,
and then he'd go,
But first!
And then I walk out in Manchester with a Scouse accent.
And they're all going, who the fuck's this fat cunt?
And then I go, what's happening?
And they go, oh, no!
Which is basically the equivalent of going,
ladies and gents, the comedian you most want to fucking see in your whole life.
But before that, some Scouse prick you definitely won't
like for the first
60 seconds.
Amazing.
But that heckle
were top of the
league,
you Scouse prick.
And that given me
the in to do my
sort of turn the
Manchester gig around
bit.
Yeah,
it's happened
naturally.
Yeah.
If at that point
some bellend came in
with two pints.
Can I have them? Hey, I've got such a clear memory of this so when i when
when bill finished his set he asked me apart from in london to come on after him and bring him off
that's quite a common thing in america apparently apparently. So the headliner goes off and you walk back on like a compere would
and go, let's give it up.
So, you know, before you tell this story,
Chris Cairns did one of the Liverpool dates he did.
And I didn't know at this point that Bill Burr had asked the guy to bring him off.
And the same thing.
His name, Chris Cairns' name,
was dirt for about a week on WhatsApp groups.
Everyone was like,
have you heard?
Fucking Chris Cairns went on
like it was fucking Slaughterhouse
and comped Bill Burr off.
And then the rumours started going around.
I think he did some bits.
Have you heard that he's done bits?
I've heard he did about 20 minutes
and it's all bullshit.
And then it came out
that actually
that's what Bill Burr
had asked for
and everyone was like
oh yeah no
Chris is sound
he's a good lad
he's a good lad
I was at the
Liverpool date
because before
before I got
I only got asked
to do those
support slots
about four days
before they happened
right
I was meant to be
gigging in Dublin
that week
and I had to cancel
the Dublin gigs
to do those things
hello
hello Dublin go fuck yourself shout out to cancel the Dublin gigs to do those things. Hello! Hello, Dublin!
Go fuck yourself!
Shout out to Holly at the Laughter Lounge
because she was so fucking
sound about that.
Because it was the second,
I'd had to pull
Ireland the year before
for something else.
And then when that came in,
I was like,
Holly, you're going to hate me.
I know it's four days to go,
but, and she was like,
don't be fucking stupid.
What an opportunity,
go and do it.
But I went.
That's a sound promoter,
that, isn't it? Holly's fucking amazing opportunity. Go and do it. But I went. That's a sound promoter, that, isn't it?
Holly's fucking amazing.
I can't wait to go back over there.
So because Bill Bear was coming to the UK
and he was coming to Liverpool,
I had tickets.
I'm a fan.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
I bought my dad a ticket for Christmas.
So I got two tickets and we were going.
And when I got those support dates,
I was still like,
I'm not just going to not go
just because I'm opening for him this week. it's actually more fun going as a punter like
you'll be like well you could just watch them as a comic supporting bill burr you're supporting
anyone you're not watching it as a punter no you know like it's better to go as a and just enjoy it
so i went and watched it and then when chris come back on at the end i was in my whatsapp groups
like we won't go into too much but i've had beef with laughter house in the past i mean
me and chris and the other people at laughter house we don't get on and there's no it's no
real hard feelings anymore but there's a bit of a history of whatever clubs winding each other up
but chris cairns is a sound guy you know i've known chris for. So, however, I seen that happen and I was like,
fucking Chris, come back on.
Was this meant to be like a Laughter House night or something?
Because it was Laughter House presents Bill Bear at the thing.
That's why he was opening.
And then I get to Glasgow to do my first night.
So at the end, just make sure you come on after Bear
and, you know, bring him off.
And I was like, oh!
Just before I do, I'm just going to have to go in a few whatsapp groups and be like yeah chris chris yeah
okay yes but i've got such a clear memory of uh in manchester i walked back on and someone got a
i've got a photo of this because someone took it and sent me of me going ladies and gentlemen bill
bear as he's walking off and he got a standing ovation but but the tallest guy in, like, you know, like the first few rows,
Rob Mulholland,
our mate,
who will be on here
in a couple of weeks,
he's booked in.
I'm going,
let's jump a bill,
and everyone's,
but Rob Mulholland's like
fucking seven foot three,
so it,
like a giant
in a land full of midgets,
he's just there
and he's looking at me like,
we're in,
lads!
I could see it clear in his day
with his fucking hat in his glass.
I was like, what?
And he's doing, he wasn't even clapping.
Everyone else is clapping.
He's like, what?
Fucking sickness, man.
Like fucking Where's Wally?
Your biggest ever support gig so far.
You've just got your big lanky comedian mate going,
Oh, mate.
I love it when you get laid.
You're fucking great fun the next day.
What did you do?
Made the noise.
That's it.
What did I do?
I'm such a grandad wearing me gillet.
So just to wrap up,
you don't think I need to go and see a doctor about me dick?
Do you want me to have a look?
Yeah.
No, no. In fact, actually, after what happened on the patreon this week i don't need to
be seeing his dick no oh i really thought and you're wearing your next underpants dirty bitch
um good it's gone off the rails boy oh it's been That has been Fire Yeah F-Y-A-H
F-Y-A-H
F-Y-A-H
F-Y-A-H
F-Y-A-H
F-Y-A-H
He's a fucking dyslexic moron
I love him
Funny though
Shall we have a break?
You calling it?
Yes
Bye Felicia
See you in a minute Felicia
Be back with Barry Dodds Felicia
It's too many Felicias Felicia
From Texas to Skim,
everybody is listening to the funniest podcast in the game.
It has to be Half Hour.
That whiskey has sort of hit me a bit, you know?
We've had a bottle of Freud 10 years
sat on that shelf for a while.
Mr. Barry Dodds has just turned up and pointed out,
he was like, that's his favorite whiskey.
That's an amazing whiskey. And I've
never opened it. So I opened
it and I've had about 10ml of it and I'm
ready to break lockdown
rules and head to Popwell, to be honest with you.
Do you know what?
I didn't know that you were a whiskey drinker. If I'd
known, I'd have brought you a little present.
So it's about
2018, Aldi did this thing where they somehow,
I don't know if somebody dropped a bollock in Aldi,
but they ended up with some 30-year-old whiskey on their hands.
To get a bottle of 30-year-old whiskey, you're talking about between 500 and 600 quid
for the cheapest online, and Aldi ended up with loads.
So they were selling it at Christmas at £50 a bottle, which was unbelievable, but if you're shopping in Aldi,
you ain't spending 50 quid.
On your whole shop.
Yeah, your whole shop.
So in, like, the February, they were just like,
we've got to get rid of these, so they were selling them for £10.
And I was up in the North East gigging,
and I drove round every Aldi in Tyneside.
I followed the metro line round
and bought every one that they had.
I ended up with 10 of these things
and I'm keeping one because, you know, to retire on.
But I've given the rest away to people who are into whisky.
To retire on a £500 bottle.
I'm moving back to Gateshead, obviously.
That's the most working class thing
you've ever heard
I've got this
it's good shit
I know it's Aldi
but it's good shit
I'm gonna hand it
down to me kids here
I'm gonna retire
on a 2001 Ford Escort
but yeah I've got
I've got two bottles
left so keep it
worn
do you know what
give me your address
I'll send you the
other one
please do I've got like about 20 about 20 do you know what give me your address I'll send you the other one please do
I've got like
about 20
about 20 do you reckon
whiskeys
yeah you've got a big cabinet
yeah
yeah I've got a little cabinet
full of whiskeys and rums
you've got a big cabinet
full of liquor
yeah I like a whiskey
and I like a rum
but I started drinking whiskey
to stop myself drinking
as much rum
because I can't drink rum
with anything but full fat coke.
Right, yeah.
I can have it with ginger beer
but it gets a bit...
You can only have one or two of them.
No, we've had El Dorado straight
and it was nice.
Yeah, but I wouldn't spend...
Rum's not a straight sort of...
I've got some that you should drink straight
because they're very expensive
and very nice.
Ponzi rums.
Yeah.
El Dorado 15, yeah. I bought that specifically for when he got because they're very expensive and very nice. Ponzi rums. Yeah. Yeah. We love Ponzi. Eldorado 15, yeah.
I bought that specifically for when he got back from Japan
and we only actually cracked it like a week or two ago.
Yeah.
And Diplomatico.
We got Diplomatico as well.
Diplomatico is a great one.
That's not even open yet.
No.
But I love a rum and coke,
but if I go on a night out and drink a rum and coke,
I'll have 12 and you'd end up having like six litres of coke on a night out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you night out yeah why am i 16 strong
uh so i know i think a sugar crash can be as bad as a hangover yeah yeah maybe it's because i'm
feeling because i'm getting a bit older now but my rum hangovers are worse than anything else
where there's a whiskey i just drink it with an ice cube do you not like ice i'm gonna send you
some whiskey stones as well I've got whiskey stones
I've got whiskey stones but I don't really use them
because I don't like how it looks
Talk me through what whiskey stones are
It's a stone that you freeze
So if you put ice in whiskey
it dilutes
a little bit
which can open the whiskey out
it can release some of the flavours
but if you've got something like the frog
you want to keep it
or a Japanese whiskey
you want to keep
but a Nikko yeah
yeah
yeah
I don't know what podcast
I'm on
I literally
I know that bellend
and I know you
you're all bellends
but I was like
this is weirdly erudite
and like
well I find
it's a beautiful body.
A commoner.
Oh, yes, it's Aldi, but it's vintage Aldi.
You're not using this, are you?
This isn't...
Oh, this is going in.
Barry, it started.
I thought you were going to do the...
When you pressed down, I was waiting for the music.
No, no, no.
It's on.
Oh, right.
You being whiskey nonces
is how we've started it.
But I'll be honest,
it's very rare
I'm impressed with both of you
bellends at the same time.
I was waiting for him to go,
it's a good rum and coke,
I'm handing it down to me kids.
That's a real inheritance.
This bottle of Bacardi,
I stole this one from Tesco.
The thing is,
you can say nothing
Because you drink Turbo Shandy
Which is the most fucking
I can't believe that you've
It was a lockdown thing
And I haven't kept it up
Have you given up?
I don't know what
I don't know what the lockdown did
The shutdown
I don't know what that did
It was the doing the podcast every day with Adam
It was sending us a little bit mental
And for some reason Me drinking at university got mentioned They're doing the podcast every day with Adam. It was sending us a little bit mental.
And for some reason, me drinking at university got mentioned,
and we just mentioned Turbo Shandy.
He went, what's a Turbo Shandy?
Then all of a sudden we were drinking.
How did it happen then?
Because I know very well what a Turbo Shandy was.
I used to drink them at hot water every Sunday.
But how did it come?
Did it just come up in conversation on the pod?
Someone will know. One of our listeners will reply to this. Episode 20
something. This is recent to me, it's not too
long ago because
what I was going to say to you was, I'm, because
I'm a word as original, I've
been there since the start. And a
Patreon, what a fucking good egg. I was trying
to work out my way here, I don't think
I was your first Patreon, but I'm
in the top five definitely
top 10 if i've been here since the start so because of my ocd i've got to listen to things
in order so you're on episode god what are you in the 90s now this is 92 so you're in the 90s now
i'm still at the end of the 60s. So, like, you're still fat where I am.
Like, you're still fat and in a relationship, right?
You're happily going along with your life with one child.
Like, you don't exist, right?
So I'm back, both because of the OCD,
because I've got to do it in order i can't and of course
i've got access to all the patreon specials about 30 or 30 odd of them as well now i can't go into
them because i'll lose my my thread with where i am so at the minute i'm doing standard and then
i'm going to go back and then i'm going to catch up that way so so you're listening now where are
you 60s 70s you're like you're basically now. Where are you? 60s, 70s?
You're basically where we were in June.
Yeah, yeah.
So I'll tell you exactly where I am.
You've just slammed an eight-year-old.
Hang on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
For some eight-year-old who's trying to be a good person
and highlight the problems of racism.
Oh, no.
Oh, that was my fault because I didn't judge the room.
So I was like, someone has said,
my little brother said this great thing about racism and Black Lives Matter,
and I should have read the room,
because I'd already done a podcast with him for half an hour,
and he was in a...
He was a little fucking middle of a lockdown,
fucking Tasmanian devil,
still hungover from Liverpool winning the league.
And then I stupidly went this
eight-year-old said
something really nice
about racism and he
went ah fuck off
yeah fucking
it was brutal
so here's where I'm at
as soon as one of
these episodes is done
I often forget
everything that's just
been said it's just
gone so I don't really
know what you're
talking about but just
for future reference
don't ever introduce a story with you've just slammed an eight you know because it's so sexually
ambiguous it sounds like i've had a few i was like i was like how many turbo shandies
how many do they have um no so i've not kept up the turbo shandy it was very much a you can't
leave the house you can't gig weird form of
nostalgia and the uh lockdown lock-ins that we started doing on a saturday were just turbo shandy
but the sugar content in them i was pissed and like super like happy just an insulin spike and
i fuck that was some of my favorite podcasts yeah but as the as the restrictions have eased
my need for turbo shandy has lessened.
You've got to have a Turbo Shandy.
When we eventually do some live shows, though,
we've got to Turbo Shandy.
Try and get sponsorship from, like, Man Off Ice.
Right, we'd like to sponsor the podcast.
You've got to find a lager company to sponsor it with you.
We don't want to drink your shit on its own.
We want to mix it with lager.
to sponsor it with you.
We don't want to drink your shit on its own.
We want to mix it with lager.
If we do any form of, like, yeah,
any boozing that we do on the pod,
it will be turbo shandy for me.
It's airfo.
All right, can I just ask,
because being in the past,
are Transalloy wheels still on board?
No, they're not.
So the guy who worked there,
who was a big fan of the podcast has now left that company.
Surprisingly,
they haven't been like,
this is a phenomenal sponsorship.
He was like,
I fucking love this podcast
and I want to be involved.
They didn't like,
we've got to keep it on.
Why do you ask?
Because that's where I'm at.
I'm still back in July.
We're now sponsored by Manscaped.com.
It's a fucking pub trimmer Barry
Get your fucking man garden
And fucking shave
I tried that about
About a month ago
For the first time
So you just had a fucking Amazon rainforest going on
I looked like Gandalf
Peeking out
I had a pair of scissors there
Shout not piss
You were scissoring your pubes Just like grab them before shout He looked like Gandalf, like, peeking out. I had a pair of scissors there every now and again. Shout, not piss! I'd be like...
You were scissoring your pubes?
Yeah, just, like, grab them before a shout,
and then just went...
And then sling them down the toilet.
Do you know the risk involved in that just movement?
Like, grab your pubes, off it comes.
I'd never go near the balls.
I've had an accident!
Yeah, oh, God, I feel like that's why...
So your balls have got every hair on that they've ever had on.
Your balls have got hairs on that were there when you were 12.
It's Barry's Pee Museum.
Trip down memory lane every time I take the undercrackers off.
No, I haven't.
Do you know what?
Because I ended up getting shaved when I was a teenager against me will.
Wait.
Now, wait, wait, let me breathe in.
Now, now.
Tell the story, Baz.
So me and my mates, my mate Phil, who I grew up with,
he was a couple of years older than me,
but me and Phil and his brothers,
we used to camp out in a tent in his back garden,
and Phil used to be like,
I'm the man of the tent, look at all my pubes.
And of course, we're a couple of crucial years behind.
And he's like, I'm the real man.
Now, I had a growth, I had a lump.
I had three bollocks.
And I was like, well, you can get fucked because I've got three balls.
And he was like, let's have a look.
And I got out and you could see. And he was like, let's have a look. And I got out and you could see.
And I was like, yeah.
And then I didn't realise my mum was outside the tent.
And she was like, three balls?
I was like, yeah, doctors.
She went to the doctor.
I mean, I don't know why we made that.
Like, your mum was out of order then.
Like, can't believe my mum.
She's a bit jumpy about the old growth on my balls so she takes me in
I go up to the doctor
with me
like struggling
pubed growth
but an extra ball
which was keeping me
in the man game
in the tent
and the doctor went
yeah it's like
a sort of
it's like an underformed
sort of
I think it's like
a cyst
and I went
alright
and they went
we've got to get rid of it
because it can
you know
it's going to happen so I got I went to hospital and I went, alright and they went, we've got to get rid of it because it can you know, it's going to happen.
So I got, I went to hospital
and I got knocked out
obviously and then I woke up
and I was like, oh is it
gone? And they went, yeah the operation went absolutely
fine and I could feel a bit of pain. They said
we need you just to, we need you to pass
water before you can go just to
so I was like, alright. So I went to the toilet
and they'd fucking
they'd shaved all my pubes off
Doctors do do that though Barry
because they need to know what they're looking at do you know what I mean
and if you had years of fucking
trees down there that's also like
you know but when you're like that age
These were crucial pubes
Oh so you've been playing catch up ever since
is that what you're saying? So what I'm saying is
is that I've not got the original ones from being a kid.
But have you got the ones from right after that?
So I've got them from, these are probably from like 14.
How old are you now?
Well, they were until I got this.
Because I heard Greg Davies on a stand-up special talking about manscaping.
I was like, what's this manscaping?
So I googled it.
And it's this thing where you get like a
trimmer for your head
but just for your pubes.
I don't know why you're telling us about our own sponsor.
Sorry, yeah, sorry.
You mean like a lawnmower 3.0
available at manscaped.com
with promo code word WRD.
WRD.
WRD. W-R-D. W-R-D.
Using code love.
Use code love.
So I heard about this,
so I put it into Google
and then ordered one off Amazon
and it turned up
and I just thought,
I just can't,
how hard can this be?
Just get busy.
So I got it it what point of
the day is this morning is this an evening it's just you've got to pour yourself a nice glass of
whiskey glass of whiskey get out your piobs yeah so i went to the show where are the ice stones
you're such a gentleman go so i went into the, and I just thought, I'm going to do this in the shower.
So I just pulled the curtain, got in the shower, and got my thing,
and just was like, here we go then, and just, and it just went, and like, bawled.
And I was like, oh, fucking hell.
I like that.
So I was like, I'm in the shower now, so I'll just get it, finish it.
Anyway, I got back into my little office,
and I picked up the box
that the thing came in
and tipped it up
and the guard fell out
yeah
I'd done it without the guard
yeah
you'd gone zero on your
did you snag the bag
no no no
no cut
I don't think I bothered
with the bag
I think I was too shocked
from the top
oh so you just
oh
oh that's a very
unusual look that
shaving the mons pubis and letting the balls be hairy.
You've got an Amish dick.
Give him more whiskey.
He's having a fire episode.
A woman has touched his penis and he's drinking whiskey with Barry Dodds.
From my experience, women do prefer a manscaped area.
They're a lot more likely to put your penis in their mouth
if there's less hairs around it.
Yeah, if they don't have to take a machete to the overgrowth.
Yeah, yeah.
So, like, they will...
But be careful going full baby bump smooth.
That's a bit much.
They don't want to look like a fucking Ken doll.
They want it to...
Like, it's got to be, like, sort of like stubble.
Because you've got to show that you have the ability
to grow pubic hair without the want to have a lot of it.
Yeah.
All the women listening are like, Adam, thank you for speaking for us.
He's our representative.
What women want.
Let me tell you what women want.
What's been a nice little treat, though,
is that I got to see the scar for the first time
from the operation.
So you've never been able to see that?
Well, it was covered up, bandaged up
and then they sort of took the stitches out or whatever
and then this was crucial growth time
so it then just grew over
and so I never really got to have a proper look at it.
So it's bigger than I thought. There's proper look at it so it's bigger than I thought
quite
there's the
out of context
it's bigger than
I thought
inch and a half
little Barry
Scott
so are your
balls to this
day still
hairy
they'll still be
the hairs from
it's like vintage
30 and old
pubes
I'll be selling
them for the
tenner
come February.
Hiya, mate.
Get him another whiskey.
He threw that up for me.
Did you see that?
100%.
Underarm bowler.
Oh, dear.
Silky smooth Barry Dodds.
Do you ever put them into a triangle?
Do you ever do anything with them in the bath or in the shower?
Do you ever wax them down, give them a gandalf look every now and again this is pretty bold
incident and you know when you're just in the shower and you're just like you know you've got
because you leave conditioner on your hair for a couple of minutes so you've got two minutes
sort of play time you just just get them and because they're a good, like, just twist them like a bit little French.
What?
So I brush my teeth in that time.
I brush my teeth in the shower as well. Yes, Barry.
Because you can proper go for it and not worry about it.
Oh my God, Barry, don't.
You can go for it now.
Oh, fucking hell, yeah.
That's exactly why I do it.
Yeah, yeah.
I put the conditioner in my hair and then I brush my teeth.
I don't conditioner me hair.
I just shampoo it.
I don the conditioner in my hair and then I brush my teeth I don't conditioner my hair I just shampoo it I don't conditioner
are we all
glossing over the fact
that he makes
a Frenchman's moustache
with his pubes
everyone's like
oh yeah I don't brush my teeth
he's just gone
and I make a little moustache
it's
fucking amazing
give it like a voice
and just
give it a kind of
oh
if you're personifying your dick
you need all that
hello little Barry.
Hello, Barry.
Women like a scar on a man's dick.
No, it would be...
Because of my issues with the French,
it wouldn't be saying anything.
It'd be like...
Barry, I surrender to your great madness.
Do not shave me again like that, please.
Yeah, I love it how you...
You hate the French like I hate the Russians, but mine...
Why do you hate the French?
Xbox. Can I tell you? This is said you used to live in the room next to me
so if you heard i've actually heard barry racially abuse a french child oh hang on hang on hang on
right no no i don't have to hang on we we have zero evidence it was a child and in my defense
it was an 18 game. Right, listen.
Oh, so say what you want to them.
As far as I'm concerned, yes.
This is genuinely the racism that I heard through the walls
as Barry, in the box room of our rented house,
sat on his Xbox getting angry at children from around the world
via the miracle of the internet.
People are, like, literally changing human existence.
Barry is shouting at Mexican children.
I'm surprised you can fucking see the screen
with your fucking sombrero.
And then, and I'm sure it was a French child.
You told me it was a child.
This is, what year would this have been?
2006.
So this kid is maybe 14.
Born 1990.
The latest 1990.
What did you say to him?
Try not to fucking surrender.
No, that's it.
Try not to give up on this battle,
you fucking surrender monkey.
Like 1940 was his fault.
Kids online, no.
I only play FIFA a while back.
I don't know whether I told you this.
I won a game Like 7-1
Right
And the lad messaged me
And was like
Oh you fucking shite you lad
You just
Got all the luck
In that game
And I just replied
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Right
But my gamer tag
Has got the year
Of my birth in it
So I think it's like
Adam Rowe 1992
And he replied
And said
Oh look
You're replying to kids
On the internet
You fucking nut Yes Hey That That is their go to That happened to me That happened to me Adam Rowe, 1992. And he replied and said, oh, look, you're replying to kids on the internet, you fucking nonce.
Yes.
Hey.
That is their go-to.
That happened to me.
That happened to me yesterday.
Really?
I'll show you the messages afterwards.
From FIFA.
So if they know you're old,
they call you a nonce.
Yes.
Yeah.
You're 40, you're older,
and your parents' bedroom,
and you get all the nonces.
No, I'm not.
No, I'm not.
I'm shaving my balls
in my own property
I'll show you my pubes
ah fuck I can't
I got the shaver out
amazing
well
what I'll say now
is be very careful
because
when I was first
playing Gears of War
which is when we lived together
Gears of War
Gears of War
what year was this
when the G's were together
Gears of War
in a Geordie accent
doesn't use a four
hi I'm super of war what year was this when the gears of war in a geordie accent i'm so paranoid about my shoes because somebody rinsed me but i've got one from me
you literally look like you're about to wash your car i love it i forgot it was recorded come on so so this was it was a bit it was like like the wild west online when you could go on
you could put your headset on you could drink eight cans of scrumpy and just get it all out
your system and i used to go i used to really go for it i'd wake up the next day hung over but
feeling like oh just a bit more zen.
That was like your counselling, just shouting at kids from around the world on Gears of War.
It got all my stress out.
And then Gears of War 3 came out.
So I've gone through.
And then all of a sudden I logged on one day and it just wouldn't put me in a match.
And I was like, oh, what's going on? And, you know, I've got my cans in.
I've got my rollies done,
I'm ready to go, this is going to be a big night
and I just couldn't get on.
Got in touch with Microsoft and then I went and had a look
at my online reputation and it was in the red.
And I was like, what's this?
Yeah, Bill, I'm not even a fucking nunce, mate.
What the fuck's going on here?
This little prick from France fucking abusing me. what's this yeah bill i'm not even a fucking nuns mate what the fuck's going on here this little
prick from france fucking abusing me and is that good is that okay that wasn't bad that wasn't too
bad that's an all right geordie my geordie normally goes sort of a bit ski with all right yeah and
then oh my god bill gates fuck on you shut out these children they are being nasty to me on the internet
they are lying
saying I fucked them
in the ass
no no no
no more
I want my account back
yeah nailed it
fuck on the time
it's all mine
all mine
so this exchange
started with Microsoft
on email
and it went on
genuinely for six months
the peak of it
was when I was
sending letters via registered
post to the microsoft head office in reading so this is microsoft uk with them with me going give
me my account back i had my entire lifetime of gamer score on it and i i played gears at a semi
professional level i was in the top 100 in the world. Like, you're laughing, kids are now making a fortune off
Fortnite. I was there in the day, I was
feared in Gears of War,
right? I was feared by
Gamertag. This is so childish. What you're laughing
at is so childish. My Gamertag
was Terra Cuddles.
It's a surprise you're not
on the fucking register, mate. Do you know what, be careful
because admittedly, my new alias isn't
a million miles away from that.
Um,
so, so this back and forth,
I was going, just let us back on, let us back on,
and they were like, no, no, no, no, no.
And they said, look, the enforcement team have put
special restrictions on your
account. We're going to have to speak to them, but they're based in
America. So because of the time difference,
I had to wait, and then eventually they got back to me a few days later and said
they've at microsoft enforcement have never seen an online account with more complaints against it
and number one and i said i said right i said well it's an 18 game they went it's not just
that's your it's once your in-game behavior and i went what do you mean and i didn't know this
when i found out
somebody at microsoft and this enforcement team had been watching me for a week every time i went
on they were watching my screen and watching my character and listening to my chat and monitoring
my messages and things like that and they had a log of everything that i'd done to explain why I'd been banned and it was
entertaining reading.
It would say something like,
1.50am, Terracuddles has
started singing Total Eclipse of the Heart.
File under
disruptive voice.
Then it'd be like,
20 past 2.
Terracuddles has started singing Total Eclipse of the Heart again.
Removed from server.
Terra Cuddles has rejoined the server
and is now singing A Little Respect by Erasure.
What had happened that night was I just got pissed
and just decided to sing into the microphone all night.
Just to be annoying.
Just to be a cunt.
I love that there's someone at Microsoft going,
I want to get ahead in coding and computers.
And that's where the future is, isn't it?
And look at Bill Gates.
He's my idol.
That's why I'm working for Microsoft.
And that fateful night, that week,
he had to be like, fucking terracuddles.
He's calling some Egyptian kid like a camel fucker.
Singing erasure.
Who fucking sings erasure
I remember once I had some friends
around and they said
let's have a go on the Xbox
they wanted to log in
to their account on my machine
now the thing was when you log in
it auto suggests your most
used words
so they were logging in
and so like they put logging in and so like
they put
A in
and it came up
arsehole
AIDS
and then they were like
alright
and then they moved to the next one
the worst type of AIDS as well
like arsehole AIDS
yeah yeah yeah
if you're going to get AIDS anyway
you don't want it up your batty
yeah
what about in your ear
that seems like a pain as well
ear AIDS
but not
A
oh
ear and AIDS
yeah
ah
fuck
well done
sorry
I don't even like
upset me
nasty bitch
I don't even
I don't even like that
I don't even like wordplay
that much
I just felt like
but it was every letter
was
there was still like
F it was coming up
like French
fucking
and it was
it was like
a window into my past
of sort of
what my online chat
had been.
Have you seen how easily you can get banned now?
For anything.
My mate that I do a play with sent some, just the letters KS,
meaning kill self, and got a lifetime ban.
Oh, for that.
I hope YouTube don't get this jumpy.
KS and his lifetime ban, his IP is fucked.
So are the French the worst?
They were the one.
It was a connection issue because the French have got really good servers,
so they'll be like a second ahead over our servers,
and they were really smug about it.
And then you just...
We are too quick for you
sort of yeah
I shit you before you can see
where I was coming from
your Japanese is so bad
no it's just deep innit
no because you got that off Jokoi
yes
come from diaphragm
because I tried to do a Japanese accent for something,
and you do it from deep down, isn't it?
Yeah, but you can't do it.
We were on the phone the other day,
and for some reason we were talking about Japanese play slaves,
and Barry's saying anything Japanese sounds for
Tokyo!
Nagasaki!
Fukushima!
That was it, Fukushima! Fukushima Fukushima
No journey should ever travel to fucking Japan
Hey, Herman!
Where's Nagasaki?
I've got lost in
Fukushima
It all came to a head when I said to them
I said, look, just tell me
what to do to get back online and
they said you need to play online and not get complaints i said but you won't let me play on
and i said we know we're sort of we're kicking you out by the back door really and i said well
i said people were just as bad and they went look we sent you some videos that we've taken
of your gameplay and this is why and they said i've still got still got them. I've got one of them on my phone,
which was, because I tried to,
I changed my name and things like that,
but it was still the same IP address.
So they sent me this comedy montage
of me running around just bumming people.
You could see on Gears of War me
shitting this kid to the floor,
then running up behind him,
just doing that on the controller.
So my bloke'ske's you can't say
you were bumming people
with the way you pronounce
gears of war
no you really can't
I was bumming everyone
on gears of war
and then that was it
they were not kicked off
yeah
it's probably good though
isn't it
because there's other things
to do in life
than just abuse children
from around the world
no
there we go
there's no context
either way
I think I've said this on the pod before but that's not the weirdest shit we ever heard when I was seeing Vicky around the world. No? There we go. There's no context either way. There's no context either way.
I think I've said this
on the pod before
but that's not the weirdest shit
we ever heard.
When I was seeing Vicky
I had the bedroom next to him
when we lived together
and I was seeing
a girl called Vicky
and we were like
going to bed one night
or was it in the night
and we literally heard like
oh Barry
oh Barry
Barry
like that
and we were like
she was like Barry's fucking giving some girl a...
I was like, oh, my God, he is, isn't he?
Fuck him.
And we heard like, oh, Barry.
Barry.
We were like, oh, my God.
And even Vicky was like, she's fucking getting it.
Good on you, Barry.
And then in the morning, we were like, how was it?
And you were like, what?
There's no one here.
I'm just... You were like, you've had a girl last night there's no one here i'm just i've not you were
like you've had a girl last night like no it's me and he'd been having night tremors and saying his
own name a kind of fucking psycho has night terrors going
do you get nightmares a lot?
I talk in my sleep and shout things out.
Because I fall asleep with, I hate silence.
So I always, when I lived with Dan,
I used to put like Dirty Sanchez DVDs on and fall asleep to them.
So maybe it was just.
I had something very similar, you know.
So there was a year where I went to live with my auntie.
And I got her little box room. And she was like, look, you can live here as long as you want. So there was a year where I went to live with my auntie and I got her little box room
and she was like,
look, you can live here as long as you want.
My house is your house.
Come and go as you please.
You've got your key, whatever.
My only rule is
you don't bring any fucking one night stands back here.
If you end up seeing someone
and we meet them,
I'm not saying they can't come and stay,
but no one night stands back here.
You're like, well, that's a nightmare for me
because I'm banging bitches on the daily. I don't know if we're going to be able to do this listen i'm not
saying that i've got the cleanest record in the world but you know like carl said i used to go for
the four o'clock monitors at 10 p.m so that i was guaranteed to get your stats right yeah
yeah i'd score four in the fucking league cup so that my stats looked good at the end of the season.
Couldn't do anything in the Premier League.
And one night, because I speak in my sleep quite a lot,
like my dad used to say,
that it sounded like me and my little brother
were having a conversation,
because I'd talk shite, leave a gap,
and then he'd start talking.
And I was literally just talking shite in my sleep,
and my auntie ran in with the brush.
She's a bit mental, my auntie Carol.
So I'm literally in my sleep going, Fuck off! No in, with the brush, she's a bit mental, me auntie Carol, so,
I'm literally,
fuck off,
no,
oh yeah,
go on,
go on,
hey,
doing all that,
and she literally,
she went,
Adam,
when I'm asleep,
you could be building,
a fucking conservatory,
in the bedroom,
I mean,
you're not waking me up,
so she's banging on the door,
screaming,
but in my head,
this was part of me dream,
and then she came in,
with a fucking brush,
she was like,
get it out,
that woke me up up and I was like
what the means
where is she
is she in
and she starts looking
in the cupboard
under the bed
I was like
who are you looking for
she's like
the fucking gate
I told you not to bring anyone back
I was like
I was in a fucking sleep
I was just having a
I'm so pleased
it's not just me
who's done it
but she came in
with a broom
yeah
Tom and Jenny
yeah I was going to say it's half us it's half us But she came in with a broom. A Tom and Jenny?
Yeah, I was going to say.
Tab us! Tab us!
Get the slag broom, Brian!
I'm always fucking broom, brushing up slags.
Sean's beat the shit out of me with a flip-flop, my Auntie Carol.
Mate, matriarchs are deadly Items that you don't see As weapons
Until like
A five foot two
Fucking
Middle aged woman
Uses it
And then all of a sudden
A flip flop's like
Yeah
All my cousins were in ours
And all like
My aunties and uncles
And my mum and dad
Were having a drink downstairs
And we were just being
Little bastards
And she'd come upstairs
Took her flip flop off
And just grabbed me
And was just fucking
Twatting me on the
You gotta fucking behave
You gotta fucking behave You gotta fucking behave you gotta fucking behave get off and then our danny my
cousin tried to get it off me and he was she's like right your turn she pinned it fucking twat
all right yeah christ she's a night woman and now you're into it
now you're into it girls you're like have you got any flip-flops
oh god i've um got a couple of things i want to ask you okay because
uh we are you know podcaster comedian good friend of dan's friend of mine and my oldest friend in
comedy friend in comedy yeah well you you sort of started with peter vincent as well didn't you
who's now a promoter yeah he was a comic he was a comic 1833
i can't imagine that version of piece of vincents you are honestly i wish you can because he was
just as unfunny then as he is now he listens to this yeah he does i've been on the phone to him
on the way here oh yeah and he knows he's getting mentioned and he will skip ahead to you know what
exactly that yeah he rang me because i was coming to do Have A Word.
I did a fucking film premiere at the start of this year.
He didn't ring me on the way to London for that, for my big moment,
but he's excited that I'm on Have A Word.
Pete, we love you.
We love you.
He knows you're on because...
See you in Teesside.
A while back, he...
Because he's been a big list, a big supporter of this.
He's one of our patrons as well, Peter.
He's one of the best.
Run some great gigs.
And a while back, he texted me and said, when Barry ever comes on, there's one of our patrons as well, Peter. He's one of the best. Runs some great gigs. And a while back, texted me and said,
when Barry ever comes on,
there's a couple of things you should ask him.
Oh, no.
So I just want to float this by you,
because I'm just intrigued,
because it's been on my mind for a while.
So I texted you the other day and was like,
can you remind me?
I wonder what you were doing.
I thought you'd literally...
I know what he's going to say here.
Does one involve a stripper?
One thing does involve a stripper, actually, yeah,
but that's not this first one.
We'll get to that in a bit, if that's okay with you, Barry.
Do it.
Love it.
So I said, what was the thing you told me to ask Dodge
when he comes on the podcast?
He's coming on Thursday.
He said he met a lass, I think, at the old Excess Malarkey venue.
She was proper fit and ended up going on a date with her,
asking what he said to her during the date.
So there's a comedy club in Manchester called Excess Malarkey.
It was like our local when we lived in Manchester.
And you went on a date with her.
We used to go every Tuesday.
It was great fun.
I can't believe this has come up.
Just pull that mic towards you.
Pull it down a little bit.
There you go.
Go on.
I didn't look that worried
when my mum's death was brought up
for the first time on this podcast.
I just, I can't believe this still haunts me.
That's what friends are for.
I've got to explain myself a little bit, right?
Which is like you were saying about how you go ugly early.
Yeah.
Now, there was was it's a
legitimate tactic
no I know
I just want to
know what he's
going to say
I sometimes
I get intimidated
by like
stunning
really good women
like I've always
said I prefer
a woman who's
got like
a bit of like
you know like a
wonky tit
or like one who's
got like a big
blue vein in it
like an imperfect
I love an
imperfection
do you know what
I mean
oh I'm not joking I love a blue vein yeah do you not think it's like big old droopy boobs no not
droopy i don't even know that droopy they're just working tits do you think like farm tits
that blue vein you're like my god that tick and put a shift in.
So are you saying you like an imperfection
because you're sort of like, well, I'm not perfect,
so she will be more forgiven of mine if I'm forgiven of hers?
Maybe, yeah.
And it makes them a bit more human
because I think if somebody's perfect,
I know there's no such thing as leagues,
but people are out of leagues and people do.
That's a Japanese thing, though.
Is it?
yeah so imperfections
make things perfect
do you have like a vase
cracks
they fill it with gold
because they say
an imperfection
makes something perfect
yeah
such a fucking gimp
we're literally talking
about
true perfection
has to be imperfect
in my head I was like
it's the same
it's the
can I
I like porn
where there's like
do you know what I mean
an untidy bedroom and a look of regret.
And he's like, yeah, that's Japanese culture actually.
When there's a crack in a vase.
And I'm like, I like wanking off to, you know, birds you'll see in the fucking co-op.
And he's like, we'll put gold in the crack of the vase.
So, saggy wonky tits.
So, yeah, like an imperfection.
Not saggy necessarily.
Something came up. I was having this chat one night it was when we lived in this house and i was with like like jason and and jason cook jason
cook and danny deegan and all that and we're trying to explain what it was and i said that
i think it comes from like just like evolution really like you sort of like and this admittedly
is where it falls apart i know that now with a
bit of age and wisdom i said it's like lions like when we evolved from lions right oh hang on can we
just pause for the size right we haven't evolved from lions yeah i've had 15 years of people
telling me that we didn't evolve from lions but i wombo-web, a wombo-web, a wombo-web.
But I say that's why the lion will be on the Serengeti or whatever.
Oh, God, Ben.
Fucking hell.
It's all right.
Sorry.
Oh, God.
So...
Do you want to fix your wonky, mate?
Just straighten that up a bit.
Fuck, I ended up wonky.
That really fancies that name now.
I'm so much more comfortable.
Some girl calling him with a big blue vein in her tit.
Yeah, what are you saying?
I'm only one routine.
See what I said?
It's why you'll see the lions on the Serengeti
and they'll go for the gazelle with the gimpy leg.
Yeah, but they want to kill it and eat it, Barry.
Do you want to kill and eat women?
No, but it's the chase, isn't it?
No, no, no.
He wants an easy chase.
Yeah, yeah.
This would only make sense if the lion, do you know what I mean?
This would only make sense if the Lion King,
the head of the pride, was fucking the wonky-legged lion.
No, the analogy works.
It's easy catch, you know?
You like the 10 o'clock bit, the 4 o'clock bit.
I think you're getting a bit too logged on on the eating bit.
No, this would only make sense if I was walking in
to a fucking kebab shop at 4 in the morning
and going, have you got any bread that's a bit fucking stale?
They're eating the gazelle.
They're not trying to fuck it.
Yeah, I don't think you get the analogy.
I get what you say, but it's a fucked up analogy.
What the fuck?
I'm right.
You know.
It's an analogy.
It doesn't have to be a direct analogy.
Of course it does.
No, it works perfectly.
The lion wants an easy catch.
Barry wants an easy shag. That an easy shag that's the analogy
let's agree to disagree i can't get my head around this is like being back in the house
this is what it was like it really was it was like this and anyway i went on this i went on
this day and she was really stunning she was like she was clever as well she was a psychologist i'm
probably in some fucking study she did now but we we were out and we went for a meal in chalton and i put a suit on and
everything and i just really you put a suit i did yeah because she's what ladies like she's classy
and clever and and i got i got distracted as well i was fucking stinking as well because i was in
the toilet sorry to interrupt you but you put a suit on. So what night of the week was this date?
It was like
a Wednesday or a Thursday.
A Wednesday suit.
Sat eating this meal
in this posh restaurant
in Chorlton
and I was stinking as well
because the toilet I went
I was doing everything
to raise my chances
because it was like
this could be me
one shot at happiness.
And I got those
And it was.
I got those
pheromone wipes
you know where you rub them on and they're meant to those and it was I got those pheromone wipes you know where you like rub them on
and they're meant to have like
but it turns out they're like pig piss or something
because they've got
it's my best friend
it's in Oceans 12 isn't it
it's what sorry
you've seen Oceans 12
I've not seen it
it's my best friend
yeah he uses a smell to attract a lady
it's like a pheromone
yeah pheromone smell
yeah but it's pig piss apparently
so I'm sat there
stinking of pig piss
in a suit
that I'm not comfortable in
she's
thinking
god you were more fun
the other night
it's like yeah
because I was with my mates
and I'd had a drink
and this guy
she's thinking
this guy's been to court
for fucking pigs
and I was so uncomfortable
and my mind was just
racing
a million miles
and she broke the ice and she just went,
she went, are you all right?
What are you thinking right now?
And that's the wrong thing to say to me.
Because I went, I wish she had a broken leg.
And she went, what?
And I went, and then I just mumbled something about lions.
And she just was like, oh, let's just.
So she asked you, what are you thinking right now?
And I told her exactly what I was thinking right now? And you said...
I was thinking, would I feel more comfortable
if she had a cast on?
But you told her that?
Because she said, what are you thinking right this minute?
But I was panicking because I was in a really...
And she didn't get the analogy,
even worse than Adam didn't get the analogy.
Because Adam just didn't get it, but she felt threatened.
I wonder if you look good with a broken leg.
Oh, right.
Well, I'm going to leave what I've had.
So the day ended fairly quickly after that.
I couldn't afford, because it was an expensive meal,
I had to walk back to Withington, right?
How long was that war?
It was 45 minutes, an hour.
By which time she's got home.
She was friends with Claire, who was Jason's wife.
So they've already had the heads up.
So Claire's obviously been texting her, ringing her, going,
how was the date with Barry going?
I got to, I put the key in the door, and the door just went,
and just opened.
And I just went, are you all right?
And Claire just went, what's this about a broken leg?
And I went, oh, no, no, no.
And I was like, look,
can we just try and keep this quiet?
Evidently, 15 years later,
my friends aren't good at keeping secrets.
And you thought that had been put to bed 15 years ago.
I can't believe.
Like, for any,
we get the occasional writing
asking for, like, dating advice
and relationship advice and stuff,
and I don't really know why.
I suppose Dan smashed it.
He's got a beautiful wife and, you know, second baby now why I suppose Dan smashed it he's got a beautiful wife and you know
second baby now on the way
I suppose
he's in a position to advise
just my personal thing is
when a woman asks you
what are you thinking right now
just say anything
but the truth
yeah yeah yeah
like it's never good
I love you
you look great
yeah
your eyes
they don't have sparkle
in this light
no man has ever been thinking that
but just say it definitely don't say sparkle in this light. No man has ever been thinking that, but just say it.
Definitely don't say, you'd look good with a broken leg.
Because what that implies is, I'm going to break your fucking leg.
You'd have to really pull out and miss it to fucking break it, wouldn't you?
That'd be an absolute nightmare.
You'd need a run-up for that one.
I've got another pain in me dick then.
Are you all right?
He's got an injured dick
and this chat's not helping
I was having sex last night
and I stubbed me dick
yeah come out
and then I hit the thigh
on the way back in
ooh did you do your banjo
oh no I've already
done that years ago
I've done that
yeah
turning a girl's bedroom
into the back room
of a butcher's
just blood everywhere
I did it at a
one night stand
with a
with a
I shouldn't be saying this yes you should yes you should it at a one-night stand with a... Shut up. I shouldn't be saying this.
Yes, you should.
Yes.
Yes, you should.
It was a gig in Barnard Castle, an Earth Control gig,
and it was with one of the regulars at the gig,
and we went back to hers and had a similar incident,
and she had, I'll never forget,
it was a beautiful cream carpet as well.
And now it's raspberry ripple. And fuck goes done it it was going with my heartbeat like your heart goes boom and this would go boom and it's
like boom but so i like i've run into my bathroom and all that the next the next this again my
friends my friends not keeping shit to their self Stefan Petty comedian from Newcastle
after the next gig
because it got round the gig this woman
was there she was like oh yeah I was with
the comp last month and
everyone knew because they were all like shouting
snapping like making banjo
noises
so I've got two things I'll talk
I'll tell you slightly about my thing which I'm
pretty sure I've told you before but just on the Stefan Petty thing.
I love Stefan.
He's fantastic.
And he won't mind me saying that he's fucking enormous.
He's one of the biggest, fattest guys in comedy.
I had him booked to do my gig.
Someone's lost their throne, aren't they?
I had him booked to do my gig once at Hope University in Liverpool.
And he cancelled on the...
This is so funny and so bad.
He cancelled on the day
because his car
had broke down
and they gave him
a courtesy car
and he couldn't fit in it
he couldn't get his car on
you got this fucking
have you got this escort
in an extra large, love?
It's a good reason to pull.
I'm going to have to get me missus to drive me and sit on the roof.
When I sat my banjo, I was with my first serious girlfriend, and she lived in the attic,
and her bed was directly above her mum and stepdad's bedroom.
Right.
And we were having sex,
and she'd put this dick numbing cream on me dick
so that we could go for ages.
And then the bed was being a bit loud,
so she was like, let's move to the floor.
But we moved to the floor while I was still in it, right?
So I sort of picked it up
and moved it and as we went to carry on i felt like just a little pinch yeah that's all it's
not painful but i was just like oh that was nothing carry on and then about 10 minutes later
i was like she's very wet today oh yeah and then we turned the light on and it literally looked like
a butcher's yeah where they're cutting up the meat and that and then she screamed and i'm panicking
and then the door was locked but her mum was on the other side of the door going
what's what's going on in there you know what i mean she's like i'm fine i'm fine you don't
sound fine what's he done i was like i haven't done anything yeah what happens to your dick
when your banjo goes because this is mentally happens. You lose the rigidity and it becomes like,
have you ever seen like on a film or a TV program
where a fire hose just starts going everywhere?
Have you ever had a water fight
and you find a balloon that's been popped?
It looks like that.
It's just nothing.
All the blood is gone.
Oh, really?
I thought I'd ruined my dick for good.
I didn't sleep that night.
You popped your dick.
Yeah.
She told her mum that she just had a really heavy period and I can't tell you how heavy. I didn't sleep that night. You popped your dick. Yeah. She told her mum that she'd just had
a really heavy period
and I can't tell you
how heavy this period
would have needed to be.
It looked like
experimental art.
There was just red
everywhere.
The mattress was ruined
forever.
It was every...
It was like...
I don't want to be graphic.
There was blood on it.
I wasn't...
It wasn't in her mouth
but there was blood
all over her face,
all over my body.
It was everywhere because it goes off
it goes off
like a fucking
like a sprinkler
yeah
you know like
at half time
in the footy
when they bring the water
out for one half the pitch
and it's just going
fucking everywhere
yeah
it does exactly that
but with blood
and it just went
fucking everywhere
she went past the sleep
I've got it
you have painted that picture for so long sleep I've got it you have painted
that picture
for so long
I can't think about
your dick and blood
anymore
she told him
mum she's had a heavy
and the next day
I went to the
doctors and they were
just like
you've snapped your banjo
that's what he said
yeah don't have sex
for too big
she'll be fine
what doctors was this
come round see ya
Dr Kev will see ya now
I rang Paul Sinner you rang Paul Sinner What doctors was this? Come round and see you. Dr. Kev will see you now.
I rang Paul Sinner.
You rang Paul Sinner?
Oh, because the gays definitely know about snap banjos.
No, because he's a doctor.
Oh, shit, yes.
I thought you were joking.
I totally forgot.
Paul Sinner qualified GP.
End of the offering.
Went straight to it. He's put his dick in enough thumb holes he'll know about this.
I need a dick specialist.
I mean.
So another thing
Peter asked
just before we go to any break
because you brought this up.
Peter said
he won't let it get aired
but the stripper
he went on a date with
in the subsequent fallout
i.e. the lesson
it taught him. So Peter didn't think you'd want this aired but you brought it he went on a date with in the subsequent fallout i.e the lesson it taught
him so peter didn't think you'd want this aired but you brought it up so what is it i'm gonna give
it a sanitized version because there's a version of it that paints me in a very bad light but that's
what this podcast's for you can't possibly be in a better a worse light than us you want to see the
the story that carl made me tell on Patreon this week,
which we've had a lot of feedback by,
just before we crack on with this,
what will be incredible story.
Oh my God, we've had such a lot of feedback
about this week's Patreon.
If you're not already a Patreon,
patreon.com slash have a word pod,
starts at three quid a month,
you get an extra episode every week,
early access to these public ones
and all that.
And on the most recent one,
Carl made me tell a one night stand story
where I literally,
it doesn't make me look good. A finger finger to girl in an alleyway came on her face and then went
back to me night out
what the world
needs now
is love, sweet
love, so whatever you've got Bonnie Dodds
not just for you and me
but for everyone
this was
it was a one night stand
and
with a stripper though
yeah
where which city
it was in Newcastle
ah there you go
Barry pulled a stripper in London
he'd be like
Barry pulled a stripper in London, he'd be like, what? Barry pulled a stripper in Newcastle.
Yeah, that sounds weird.
Look at that fucking purple vein, Barry.
Look at that blue fucking vein.
That makes me an extra tenner a night.
Like the fucking tine.
So.
We had our evening. um oh what a gentleman and the next day now i sort of found out that
she was not single oh okay good now she left and i sort of had that thing because the day
where it happened had been a drinking day.
Do you know what I mean?
You know that fear you get after a drinking day?
That kind of like,
oh, God.
Hangover anxiety.
Yeah.
I get it really bad.
Fuck it,
I've taken,
I've taken diazepam for it
and all sorts of bad.
It's fucking grim.
It's awful.
I came so close the other week
to go on the doctor's about it
after that,
Leeds played Man City.
I'd gone out with my cousin and my little brother
ended up back at my cousin's mates
the next day the hangover anxiety was as bad as I've
remembered it ever being
I know there's Covid but I've had way
too many Bacardi's and Coke
I think it's a sugar crash as much as it is
alcohol
can you stop anxiety shaming me
I'll send you a link
to some things you can have some
pills they're wonderful come on you fannies um so um yeah i found out that she wasn't single
and she left and so i had this day of beer fear and i was also thinking what if her fella finds
out about this now i just got a flat on my...
I bought this flat when I worked at the hospital,
and all I could think was, I'm on my own in this flat,
and I'm now going to have somebody come round.
And I was getting anxiety, so I did...
It's a valid fear that, you know, if you cheat on...
If you're with a bird and she's got a guy,
I never fucked around like that, because in my head I was like,
I will do that with some steroid-using mentalist's missus.
I think it's good self-defense to be like,
you seem nice, but I choose life.
Yeah.
So I decided to text a close friend about this
and share my anxieties and that and thought no more of it.
I didn't hear back from him.
Then later that day day i got a text
message from not somebody who was saved on my phone and it just said what the fuck are you doing
last night and i went oh my god so i rang the peter straight away and i just like mate i've
had this sex he's going oh just calm down just calm down just you know they they don't know
where i was like oh but you might be getting the truth out of her
and he'll be coming around.
And all day, and what it was,
was the person I turned to in my moment of need
had just got a new phone.
Peter had a new SIM card.
Peter Vincent.
So I was texting him my worries and fears,
and then he's replying with his new SIM card,
a number I haven't got,
pretending to be the boyfriend who's coming around to kill me.
He's a fucking genius.
That.
Peter.
Yes.
Better than any of his stand-up.
It was.
I can tell you what, the relief that night when he went,
oh, it's just me, I've got a new SIM card.
I can still feel it now.
That, oh, just that release of, like, this fear.
Oh, God, it was horrible.
So, yeah, cheers, Peter.
Peter Vincent, one of the best promoters in the north of England.
His stand-up was, he used to hold up pictures of hardcore pornography
to rather middle-class audiences.
I'd love to see his reaction if some fucking open spot did that at one of his gigs.
Went to, what's what's
that gig stokesley that he's got yeah because he would do this thing he used to say i used to send
pictures in to tony hart's gallery and i could still remember because he's quite camp on stage
he's got and you know what he never used to put my pictures on the gallery so i'm going to recreate
it now so and then he'd go music please and then he'd have given the cd to the sound guy and
then and he used to hold up these huge boards and it was like cut out to magazine it was like
uncle bob mom and uncle bob and it was just like you know how you get like when people send
threatening letters and it's different letters come out the newspaper it was like that but with
porn pictures so you'd have some bloke from a catalogue and then just some hardcore porn just
some woman and he's like i'll never forget being stood at the back it was when dan atkinson ran it
it was the other side in york the poshest gig he could have done this music going ding ding ding
he's behind the thing so he can't see people's reaction. Him turning this thing round and just the audience going...
And not looking but this music playing
as everybody just got more and more.
Then the next one came up and it was,
Bungle takes it up the glitter.
And the word glitter was done in glitter
and it was Bungle but with more hardcore gay porn
cut out and stuck on the back of it.
In Peter Vincent's defence,
I do find York quite a difficult town to gig in.
It can be a bit strapped.
I think it might be York.
York's my bogey town.
Have you got a bogey town?
Have you got a place you don't, like, that city just doesn't go well?
York's mine, you know.
I never have a good gig in York.
I've never come off in York like Nailed that there
I opened for Manford in York
And I come off like
Yeah
That wasn't good enough
Mine is
And you won't like this
Liverpool
It's Liverpool
Is it really?
No but I've seen you smash it in Liverpool
I've always found Liverpool really difficult
I've always found it
Just somewhere
Unpleasant
Common What? I think what it is I'm just taking a piss I can't believe you let that slide I've always found Liverpool really difficult. I've always found it just somewhere. Unpleasant, common, what?
I think what it is.
I'm just taking a piss.
I can't believe you let that slide.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's your fucking funeral.
The amount of fucking listeners you've got to ask.
I was doing it to get it.
And you were like, yeah, go on.
Sorry, everyone.
I was just being a dick.
And Adam was like, oh, yeah.
I don't know what it is.
I also find the same.
Maybe it's because Liverpool's got a very strong identity.
And I think the North East has as well. I find the North what it is. I also find the same, maybe it's because Liverpool's got a very strong identity and I think the North East has as well.
I find the North East really tricky.
I love both of them.
I can have weird ones in Glasgow because some of my little caricatures in my voices
are like posh English and I don't mean to do it
and I only notice it in Glasgow.
I've had two or three in the last five years in Glasgow.
I've had blinders there weirdly Glasgow
can get eggy
when you're like
oh
when you do a little voice
and they're like
what the fuck
was that voice
yeah yeah yeah
but I think me and Adam
will get away with it
in Glasgow
because
I love Glasgow
you're more regional
yeah yeah
I really like
if I just talked
in this voice all the time
I'd get away with it
right
but then if you do, like,
it's weird.
I mean, Glasgow...
I've got a bit of a...
I've got a bit of a theory about why,
about Northeaster audiences and Liverpool audiences.
I think Liverpool audiences, like,
love Scouse Comedian because they love this.
It's like that kind of, he's one of us, he's up there,
he's being funny, good on you, lad.
I think the Northeaster's a slightly different attitude of,
what are you doing?
You're one of us?
What are you doing?
You know what?
That's so funny.
I remember John Fothergill, the comedian, saying,
I can't fucking headline.
I'm from Newcastle. And it's the weirdest thing because in Liverpool, that's so funny. I remember John Fothergill, the comedian, saying, I can't fucking headline. I'm from Newcastle.
Yeah.
And it's the weirdest thing because in Liverpool,
that's the complete opposite.
Yeah.
And I was like, what do you mean?
He was like, ah, you didn't want to fucking headline it.
That sounds like your brother.
And if you were not from Newcastle, because I worked there,
we became mates when I did a comedy course.
You were the first person I met on that comedy course.
I didn't do the course.
No.
In Newcastle when we did the Absolute Begrinners.
I didn't do it.
I was after that.
Had we already met then?
No, I bumped into you at the Hyena.
Oh, I was working at the Hyena already.
Yeah.
Yeah, and our headliners, if they were American Canadian Australian
they literally got
such a fucking
head start
because Geordie's like
oh
fucking thanks for coming
and I remember
yeah they think
you've come over
just for that gig
Reg D Hunter
walking on
big black guy
American
he's from like
Georgia or Atlanta
and he's like
hey
he's from Atlanta Georgia
what's up
what's up
yeah Georgia Atlanta yeah he walked on and he's like hey he's from Atlanta Georgia what's up what's up yeah Georgia Atlanta
he uh
he walked on
and he was like
hey
what's happening
I'm not from round here
I'm from Middlesbrough
now that is
a bit of a
hacky old gag
I've never seen
a crowd
fall apart
laughing
that is the funniest
thing they'd ever heard
how do you know
about fucking
Middlesbrough they were so entertained by it laughing that is the funniest thing they'd ever heard how do you know about fucking
medals bro
they were so
entertained by it
oh
shall we
have a little
advepry
because that's the
longest chunk
we've ever done
sorry
oh not your fault mate
it was fire mate
it was fucking great
chop as much
as you want out of me
oh we don't chop anything
else
absolutely fucking nothing
even when I misremember
how long I've known you.
Who's this cunt?
Or what Paul Simmer does.

work take two dude outtakes do a blooper reel for your Patreons.
I think the actual show is funnier than the bloopers.
Would you rather spend a week in a house with no internet
with your mother-in-law, Adam, your old driving instructor?
Okay.
So obviously you haven't got a mother-in-law, Dan, you have.
Or to get out of it, you have to watch a hour-long video of them getting banged by Cliff Richard.
Sorry, just give me it again because I got confused by the driving instructor.
So you have to spend a week in a house with your mother-in-law with no internet.
Or watch Cliff Richard.
Oh my God.
Or watch the bangers off your mother-in-law for an hour.
But Adams is John A.A., our driving instructor. John, my driving instructor. Because I haven't got a mother-in-law for an hour. But Adam's is John AAR
driving instructor.
John my driving instructor
because I haven't got
a mother-in-law.
See what I mean?
Yeah.
See what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the same question
to you Barry.
So what I'll do is
because I haven't got
a mother-in-law
I'll go Heather
who was my driving instructor
and she was like
you'd imagine
I imagine we had
very similar looking
driving instructors.
Mine was called
John
oh right
Barry just pull
the mic up a little bit
sorry
so
no no
yeah just pull it
towards you
alright sorry
there you go
thanks mate
there we go
so
what are you going for
a week with no internet
so basically it's not like
you can't set your phone
on the screen
yeah I'll go for a week
with no internet and hang out with Jude my mother-in-law because the other option
is the worst also my brother-in-law watches the podcast so this is his mum we're talking about
laura might never catch this but i know that tom is going to catch this so i would spend a week with my mother-in-law
who is dead sound and a lovely woman it's a glimpse to the future that though what if sort of watching
because that's what laura's gonna become that's what they say isn't it yeah yeah don't don't lock
me in your weird dead eyes i know i've no cause backing me cause backing me up this if you look at your
you look at your
partner's mother
and that's what
they'll end up
looking like
specifically with women
what a
what a wonderful
window into the future
I'm watching John
get his fucking
batty smashed mate
absolutely
like my driving instructor
was a fucking nightmare
like
and
he was alright
but he was
like
it was his little inflections
the way he said
okay
I couldn't listen
to that for a week
okay
okay
nice smooth feet
oh my god
that does sound
annoying
oh my god
how many lessons
did you have
before you passed
a lot
did you
enough
I did three tests
okay
nice smooth feet
do you reckon
you could spend the week together in a house with no no no no
could he spend a week anywhere without the internet no i don't think i could i'd get i'd
get too much um i'd get anxiety what a sad world i know who could you spend genuinely in the world
a week with without the internet you just one on one
who could you spend
that time with
because I think
it's easy to romanticise
like my best mate
oh I could not
spend a week with this
no exactly
because your best mate
your best mate
especially in adult life
like I love my best mates
I see them once in a while
speak to them on the phone
a bit
but a week
is such a fucking
intense amount
you can't even like
scroll from now
to like fucking when me and Carl go on like a trip sometimes like sometimes we'll go to like London for a few days but a week is such a fucking intense amount of time. You can't even scroll from now to fucking...
When me and Carl go on a trip sometimes,
sometimes we'll go to London for a few days.
Or we went to Berlin for three or four days.
Come the end of that, I need a week where I don't see him.
Yeah, and that is in a place where you want companionship
and you've got loads of things to do.
A week in a house, that's the whole thing.
I would honestly, i would roll the dice
with that and just have a stranger do you know what i mean just just so you can at least get
to know them right because if it goes wrong it's just some cunt you'll never see again
unless you fall in love with them okay good he he really does honestly that is so unexpected
like unless it's a really beautiful thing.
You could fall in love with them.
Love, at first, hostage situation.
Yeah?
Yeah, okay, yeah.
What's it called, that?
Schadenfreude?
No.
No, Stockholm Syndrome.
Stockholm Syndrome.
Schadenfreude. No, Stockholm Syndrome is when you are trapped by someone
and then they let you go,
but you don't want to leave, isn't it?
Yeah, you fall in love with your captain, I think.
Yeah.
The other person's not a captain in this situation.
No, but I mean,
if you're being forced to stay in somewhere for a week,
but I actually think that whole week away,
like my mother-in-law,
it's easy to be like,
my mother-in-law,
my mother-in-law is one of the most chilled out,
sound fucking women.
She's just like,
we swear in front of her,
she's seen my porn fucking searches
and she just brushed it off like a fucking champ she was like can i use your laptop and and i
literally thought it as i heard the first type of the keyboard going in the fucking search bar
and it wasn't even like i'd cleared the browsing history a week ago it was like six months of like, awful fucking cocky.
And she just went,
oh!
I'm so conscious of a porn search on my phone.
So when I go to show,
like if I need to Google something,
the way you Google something on an iPhone on Safari,
you go to that,
and then you just start typing in there.
But anything you've already searched
comes up suggested.
And like if I'm showing someone something,
I'm so conscious of going
and it looks dodgy
it looks like you don't
want them to see something
and it is
they don't want them
to see anything
it's just
that's exactly what
happened on Google
she put in whatever
she was going for
and it just auto suggested
like lesbian gangbang
and she just went
ooh
and then never said
a fucking word
let's just
would you
would you right now
surrender your phone to me and Adam to look at your search history on your phone, would you right now surrender your phone to me and Adam
to look at your search history on your phone?
Yeah.
Would you?
Because have you seen what this podcast is?
It's a no-holds-barred, unfiltered lid fest.
Like, there isn't any...
I'd actually be, I'd be happier keeping it
just to leave an air of mystery about it,
like Dan will have some crazy shit
when you go on and go
B&Q
B&Q
I forgot
we're not
we're not 29 anymore
I could see
the cogs in your
you had B
locked down
and Q was like
I'll go with cogs
I watched your
fucking eyes
turn and then
go with coags. I watched your fucking eyes turn and then...
Did you ball it on queers?
Yeah.
I actually did.
For some reason I did.
Do you know why I think I did?
Because the Q in LGBTQ plus
is queers
and I thought quegs will be less offensive
because they haven't been like grandfathered in
by the alphabet people.
This is why I need to go on a diet.
Laughing this much when you're fat
really hurts your rib cage.
I want to know whether that's an actual search on
on porn or blacks and quegs.
Google it.
This isn't my laptop
and the things I search
fucking funny
straight
right on it
you're gonna get
yourself banned
by another fucking
gaming service here
I don't
I just
I think this is such a
dirty safe space
that I don't
like you could find stuff
and be like yeah
yeah
I mean Blacks and Gays
yeah but Quakes
that's quite a colloquial term, isn't it?
Yeah.
Honestly, my Sephora keeps crashing.
How do you spell quegs?
Q-U-E-G-S.
Oh, here we are.
Highbrow podcasting.
Blacks.
Q-U-E-G-S, quegs and...
No, it's not.
Surprisingly, blacks and quegs is not a search.
Well, Barry, when you worked in and Quags is not a search.
Well, Barry, when you worked in the hospital,
did you work in the morgue, am I right?
I would.
Not in the morgue specifically.
I worked for the sort of logistics supplies team, so I'd spend a certain amount of time each week in different...
So, like, in one day, I'd be spending time in four places.
So you've seen a lot of dead bodies?
Yeah, I've seen, yeah. Can I tell tell you this we've got an email from from a mouse and who's one
of our the people yeah he interacts so much uh and this was a cork and as it's halloween just gone
and as it's you on the podcast because if you don't know barry's work he's he's got an amazing
hit podcast called the Parapod,
and you're a believer in the afterlife.
How would you, like, the paranormal, ghosts?
I'm a believer in ghosts and the paranormal,
and I'm actively a ghost hunter,
and I do about four ghost hunts a month.
Have you ever seen a ghost?
Just for the babes.
Now, I recently made a film where it was about the search to try to find a ghost.
It's called The Parapod Movie.
And if I tell you if I've seen one or not, that would sort of give away the point of the film.
So I'll answer it up to the start of filming.
And at that point in time, so what was this, two, three years ago when we started filming it,
at that point, no, I
had not seen a ghost. I'll leave it ambiguous
to whether I have or not. That's how you tease
a film. Because I love
the idea, I was obsessed with ghosts when I was a kid.
I really was. There was a
series of books called Haunted Liverpool by
Tom Sleman, I think his name is.
And I had all of them up to
like number 14. Yeah.
Just a collection of Liverpool ghost stories,
and I really, really liked them.
And I was really sort of into ghosts when I was younger,
and then I've told these guys before,
there was one time when I lived in my auntie's
that I just felt like my mum,
and she was dead,
was on the arm of the couch.
I didn't see her.
I just got this really overwhelming feeling
that my mum was there looking at me.
So I'm very open minded
and your auntie came in
with a fucking broom
Anne
get out
you're fucking dead
you stupid bitch
get back in the fucking grave
no one nights
no poltergeist
but you're totally
against it
and obviously on your
podcast
the pod pod
with Ian Bouldsworth
formerly Ray Peacock
he is completely
total sceptic and you're the same
aren't you yeah what are you no i'm a total skeptic really yeah but you sort of hinted things
at times no i remember when i was in my car crash and you text me saying that's your mum looking
over you that yeah yeah but that's just the scouts in him like that's your mum it's like it's night
uh staring the key it's just nice sometimes
it's nice to believe in like a spiritual thing like that but when it comes to like ghosts no
joe i'll say this to you now you'll probably cut this out and not put it in the episode but it's a
good way of having it recorded somewhere to remember it when lockdown gets lifted would you
fancy if i took you three into somewhere haunted?
Oh my God.
Fucking too right.
I know. As if we're cutting that out.
Yeah, I'm into it.
I already know where I'd go and it would be Newsham Park.
Oh, the hospital.
Where's Newsham Park?
Five minutes from where we live.
That is scary.
Orphanage and it used to be an orphanage and it used to be an asylum and it's now abandoned.
That was a scaredy laugh.
I know.
Do you know why?
Because I'm a total skeptic and then I just shit myself.
I just went, who fucking hell?
Orphanage makes it even scarier.
I know the people who are a ghost hunting company
who do all the events there.
I'm very good.
So I'll have a word with them.
Because I write for a magazine
as well so i'll do i'll book it in for my ghost nonce weekly yeah when i book in for ghost nonce
weekly i'll i'll say to them i'm bringing three other people along with me because i can take
people along because walking around abandoned buildings on your own can be a bit dangerous
right so when we have to wait till the owners fucked up to wait until because i was meant
to be going no word of a lie to um tomorrow i was meant to be going tomorrow because i did not in
him last saturday i was meant to be going to newsham park tomorrow but because of tier three
it's there's now what would tier two make it possible uh yes if we were in a bubble which
we obviously are yes of course we are yeah i love work get in my bubble uh which we obviously are. Yes, of course we are. Yeah, I love you. Get in my bubble.
Do you want to hear this story?
Yes.
I've got a story about how I punched a corpse.
No,
it's not a necrophiliac story.
Basically,
I work for an ambulance service.
I'm on my journey to be a paramedic
and was transferring a recently deceased patient
to the mortuary at 3 a.m.
when the body suddenly sat up in the bed and in the process, a paramedic and was transferring a recently deceased patient to the mortuary at 3 a.m when
the bottom when the body suddenly sat up in the bed and in the process the air that was left in
the body expelled causing the unliving to fucking roar at me like a bastard zombie both myself and
my colleague absolutely shat our pants with her running out of the room and with my fight or flight instinct
taking over i cracked it one in the jaw we bagged it up and dropped it off at the mortuary with my
colleagues still as white as old dog shit and me with a guilty look on my face please keep my name
anonymous as i could lose my career over this big love is that can that happen that happened well
usually the fart as the gas escapes
it's usually like
you'll end up in a
mortuary
the death fart
they'll just fart
it must smell really bad
as well
that's worse than a normal fart
a dead fart
a dead fart
yeah
the only dead body
I've ever seen
it's not going to smell good
is it
roses
depends what they had
for the last meal
the only dead body
I've ever seen
was my grandad John
And I was really freaked out by it
I was only young
But they just look like they're asleep
You know like when you hover over someone when they're asleep
And they sort of like
For some reason they get an air of the fact you're there
And they're like what the fuck are you doing
I sort of expected them to do that
I expected my grandad John to be like what the fuck are you doing
I'm having a fucking coffin kip
Which of course they don't which is fine but if they go not all
i mean you'd bangers on me out there i'd have fucking knocked me
smash me dead granddad's head in absolutely but the thing is if you've spent any amount of time
in a hospital for any reason you've probably because there's loads of because death is a
taboo but in a hospital it's obviously not because it's just part of what happens in the day there
like if you if you're next time you're in a hospital if you ever see like two porters walking
along pushing like a bed yeah um that's just got a sheet off it there's a good chance that's not
just a bed they're taking to a ward the sheet hangs over a certain length
and there's actually a compartment under they call them the buyers because it's a buyers
oh so they don't have the body under the sheet people give me like that's underneath the top
of the table so when it gets the mortuary they open it up and it's just to not freak the kids
like little timmy's come for his appendix out and then all of a sudden like more yeah okay
yeah it's
yeah they
creeps me out
yeah
does that freak you out
I'll tell you
I'll tell you another one
after the podcast
it's really dark
but it's certainly
not for a comedy podcast
oh come on
no
you can't
dig tease
you absolutely dig tease
no
no
that's a solid no
as well
Yeah
Have you got
Anything else you want to fire this way?
Yeah I've got a question
Did we do the would you rather?
Oh yeah we did yeah
Oh definitely
Have you got another would you rather?
Yeah I've got another would you rather
If you want
Another little funny one
Another little funny one
This has got this
Hey
Dad at Christmas
Pull a cracker
Would you rather
Constantly stink of shit
But you can't smell it
Or constantly smell shit
And no one else can
I'd rather constantly smell shit
Yeah same I'd rather smell shit
I don't want anyone to think I stink
Do you know what I mean
Yeah yeah yeah
It's right
Especially as a single man you can't especially as a
like a single man
you can't be stinking of shit
because no one's gonna fuck you
but
you know what I mean
more romance advice
from Adam
young lads
if you're out there
you want to learn from
like a young master
no lads
I sit down

because the fucking babes,
they're not going to let you anywhere near the fanny.
Do you wear aftershave?
Yeah.
What do you wear?
I've got a bottle of Sauvage.
I've got a bottle of...
Sauvage.
Sauvage.
Sauvage.
It's actually...
I thought you pronounced it...
Sauvage.
Sauvage.
Fucking Gillet.
Sauvage. Gillet. It is Gillet. soviagi fucking gillet soviagi
gillet
it is gillet
if you're not a
fucking word gimp
I've got to be honest
I've never heard
anyone call it a gilly
until I started
listening to this podcast
yeah
because you're a
fucking gimp
but
who are we talking to here
that is true
a gillet
yeah
fuck you now
what do you call it?
I would have called it a gillet.
Yes.
Right.
But admittedly, it wasn't.
Two of my best friends.
Parabellans.
But what's your perfume you wear?
What's your eau de toilette?
Sauvage.
Fucking sauvage.
Sauvage.
Sauvage.
You sound like such a nonsense.
I've got a bottle of Million,
pack of Rabanne,
and I've got a bottle of Jean-Paul Gaultier,
the original one.
Yes, I've got,
but yeah, it's well nice
that's what I'm waiting for

Oh, classic.
You're a Sauvage guy, aren't you?
I'm a Sauvage guy, yeah.
I've got some Sauvage as well.
You don't wear it, like, in Japan, no one wears Aftershave, so...
Savage.
Because I thought, that was really sad,
because I thought Aftershave was dying out,
like a thing that people weren't...
Ah, but you can't smell of shite.
So you want to smell of Sauvage.
I bought a bottle of, savage I bought a bottle of
I bought a bottle of
Old Spice and Poundland
not too long ago
because smells
linked
it's linked to memory
more than
more than something like visual
so if you get a chance
because after Shiv
I thought nobody's wearing it anymore
if you get an old one
smell it
it fucking does weird things
to your brain
why?
did you get touched by a bloke
wearing old spies do you know what as soon as it was a very it is a very pedophile sort of
aftershave though i thought it was brute no high karate and stuff like that can you get high
karate and is that actually a japanese thing i've never heard what's high karate it was a it was
very is that when you're fucking doing kung fu when you're off your head
on mushrooms
no it's a very
very used to get
used to get like
talk it was a very
Dan you need
Kobe on this
I'm dead
Kobe
I can't decide if it's
going to be perfect
or good
it needs to be Kobe
I'm missing something here
so every time I make
a shit clunky joke
like is that when you know
you're going to add mushrooms
he always goes
Kirby
it's such a great little mechanism
because some of them are blinded
on the patron episode
he was like
it was either scoring a beautiful
fucking half volley into the top corner
or just swatting it into the
fucking family stand. There was no
middle ground. It was either great joke or like
someone told me a story
was it? Oh God, I might
be, this might be inappropriate to bring it up
a story about somebody
comparing, I think at hot water
and someone saying where you're from and them going
in and they go, I'm from Aintree
and the comp I just went horses
it was me
was that you
it was me
I was drunk on me birthday
I was drunk
and someone went
ain't you
and I was like
oh horses
and Danny McLaughlin
Paul Smith
and Freddie Quinn
with the rest of the bill
so you're never
getting away with that are you
that's why I know about
I get sent it
once a fucking week
like one of them
will be on the motorway behind a fucking box that's got horses in about it I get sent it once a fucking week like one of them will be on the motorway
behind a fucking box
that's got horses in
and they'll take a photo
of it and be like
yeah lad
Phil Chapman
was comparing hot water
spoke to someone
was like entry
and he looked right
at hot water's camera
and went horses
it happens all the
fucking time
Danny McLaughlin
fucking ran with it
he was like oh yeah
just got a new job
as a chef
horses
he didn't fucking stop right I just got a new job as a chef courses he didn't fucking stop
right
I've got a
I've got a word
I've got a have a word
or a good question
the good question's
about the draft
in World War 2
right
and the have a word
is about
spending too much time
on your phone
well we haven't done
a have a word
we're wrapping up here
aren't we time wise
let's do the have a word
because we haven't done one
for a couple of weeks
and we'll do that draft question I've's just have a word and we'll do that
draft question
I've had a little spy of that
we'll do that next week
go for it
so this is from George
what's happening
Audrey, Denise and Caroline
can you please have a word
with my best mate Paul
every time we're together
he spends 90% of the time
on his phone
scrolling through social media
messaging absolute
quarterback birds
and betting on any footy he can find he loves a ukrainian football league bet i know i'm not his
bird but it would be sound if he put his phone down for a bit i love being on my phone too but
it's not stuck to my hand like his do you know anyone like this it feels like i'm talking to
myself half the time anyway i love the pod pod you're all my heroes uh carl i've got a sense of why you've chosen this have
a word um what do you think adam i think people are just really rude if they're on the phone a lot
yeah because you get the vibe that they're not really listening to you and they're
quite self-involved and they don't really care about what you've got to say yeah i don't like it cool yeah that's a good point isn't it yeah are you suggesting that i'm on my
phone you're on your phone i couldn't work out who's stitching who up there you're like a pubescent
girl on tiktok mate i have had to make a concerted effort at times to not be on it like i said to him
the other day when we're together,
I've noticed sometimes I'm on it.
You're on yours just as much, really.
But I've started just putting it down and turning it that way.
So even if I get a notification, I don't see it.
And obviously I mentioned before,
I've been on a couple of dates recently. I just try and turn all my notifications off
so that I only check it if I'm on a date with a girl,
she goes to the toilet.
I'll be like, I'll have a little look or whatever while I'm bored.
But you are work.
This is what Laura finds hard,
especially since the pod has started going well.
We've got a WhatsApp group.
We've got the Twitter.
We're putting content out.
I'm also a comedian who takes bookings via your phone.
It's very hard when it's your earnings as well as your social
life and you're following sport and your internet banking but when it's the way you make money
fuck me is it very addictive to whenever to just be like so laura and i have got this thing where
she's like look i know it's work but can we watch this film and you're like yeah it's not work at
quarter to nine on a tuesday night i'm just i'm just being a dick and then when she says it i'm like i'm on ebay so just put your phone if i was
watching a film with somebody and they got their phone i'd go well we're not watching this then
and i'd turn it off and yeah same i'd be like no i was like that so when i was with jade she
wouldn't watch films a lot of the time and she got to the point where she wouldn't even start
a new TV series
because she was like oh you won't let me go on my phone while I'm on
I'm like yeah because if you miss 5 minutes
of a fucking TV series
the fucking end of the whole series
you might have missed the set up for that
like if a TV series is good
if a film's good
if a stand up comedian's good
oh my god don't do it in a comedy club
it's the most annoying thing when you're like,
you know the set's going well.
And you see someone's face light up blue.
Just fuck off.
Also, if you miss a word of a stand-up comedian
and it doesn't affect the punchline,
then the comedian's not really doing their job.
Do you know what I mean?
There shouldn't be words in that you can miss
and still get the joke.
Like quag.
Yeah, exactly.
But missing a couple of minutes of a film.
Do you know what?
Yeah, it's so true.
The Parapod film.
We were down in London for the premiere.
It was in Leicester Square.
It was at the Prince Charles Cinema.
It was a really big deal.
It had been sold out for so long.
The queue was going right through into Chinatown for people
getting in. We made like a film of how long the queue
was. It was like the
biggest moment. Do you reckon there was
any just Chinese people joining the queue thinking it was a really good
restaurant?
Must be very good.
Nowhere else has big queue.
See, that's more
Japanese now. How have he wants to get that wrong
is that japanese it's good uh mate i wasn't gonna call you on it i'm just surprised you did it
why oh this fat man from newcastle he's not the restaurant i expected
there are no way they're too film star they're too far hey hey hey you you know tonkus
fucking red peacock last night we go to see crouching tiger hidden jody
perfect perfect right nailing it do you know what i mean It's either gold or shite. So it was a big moment.
I was in a tux.
We had some celebrities coming down to it.
It was great.
It's really got me.
We got in.
We presented the film.
And honestly, the sweat and tears that Ian had put into that film,
because when we made it, there's no script.
It was just, here's a ton of money and some cameras,
go and make a film.
So there's no, but you need to still have a beginning, middle and end
because it's a film.
So Ian had to find that story in all this footage.
So it's like you say, every single bit counted.
So we were in, we introduced it, we sat down
and it's like, it was such good energy.
Because even, you know the BBFC card that comes up,
this film's been rated.
I've actually got that framed on my wall.
That went up and it got a cheer, like,
fucking hell, this is a real film.
We sit down at the back, and about halfway through it,
we're right at the back of the room.
The people in front of me and Ian start chatting.
Oh, God.
And it's like, this is the fucking biggest moment.
There's absolutely not a chance in hell that I wouldn't have kicked off.
Well, Ian just leant forward and just went, shut up.
And then sat back.
But imagine being those people. Because it's not often you go to the cinema and, like, Tom Cruise. And then sat back. But what, imagine being those people.
Because it's not often you go to the cinema and like Tom Cruise will just lean over him.
Just call him, like the bloke on screen will tell you to shut up.
And it was like that, yeah, any talking.
That's absolutely what I'd have done.
Either shut up or just fucking get off.
It's sad if you don't like it, but just get out.
But I feel like that, in a film I've just paid fucking nine quid for.
Yeah.
like it but just get out but i feel like that and a film i've just paid fucking nine quid for yeah if it was like have a word the film which by the way i don't think it's getting made i'm
trying to think what that would even be about we've got we've got half a million budget where
do you want to go lads right it should zimbabwe it should be you two with no no you've got 100 pound each and your mission is to get to texas
to meet jilly bean oh wow oh my god that's top gear level shit i'd watch that barry you look
like a director you look like you were cleaning the car but now you look like
i probably just get stuck at fucking angle c ferry port likeerryport, like, I've run out of money.
Martin Joe Daisy?
Oh, come on!
Come on!
No!
Martin Joe Daisy, come on, lad!
Come on, lad!
Come on, lad!
You've got to give me that!
Good job, Jim Lee.
Is that a pod?
Is that a pod and a half?
Yeah, but I want to actually put that out to our listeners.
If you want us at some point,
because to take inspiration from the Podapod,
by the way, I've got to say this,
we've referenced the Podapod a couple of times on this.
It's one of the only podcasts I truly love.
I don't really listen to many podcasts
the only time i really have them on is in the car so i'll put like your mom's house on or like
bill bear's monday morning or if rogan's got a guest that i want to listen to but i got into
the parapod to the point where i was like taking baths instead of showers so that i could listen
to it i fucking loved it so if you haven't checked the Parapod out already, go and check it out.
It's on all podcast platforms.
But they made a movie,
and I want us to make a fucking movie.
So I want suggestions,
either in the YouTube comments would be better for us,
or to haveawirdpod at gmail.com.
I want you to suggest ways
in which we could put a film together.
I like that idea because you could do that.
You've got the 4K cameras
