That is just playing to all your uncles and aunties ever.
There must be a figure on it.

figure for you to do bbc radio lancashire and and i'm not allowed to do this no i would honestly
it would have to get to the point where i was fucking with their like annual budget they'd be
like dan's really expensive i mean and i'm never allowed to come back. No. I can't. I replace you with...
Be careful here.
Pete Otway.
Oh, well, I don't mind Pete Otway.
I thought you were going to go for one of my enemies.
I replace you with...
Freddie Quinn!
Yeah.
The phone's just gone down.
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
This is...
We are literally on the first wave
of the future
where we get to do
what
bell ends on radio
are doing
except we get to say
nonce
as much as we like
oh
the freedom
of a quag
where is
there's a
the liberty
of a cunt
there's a quote
on BBC Radio
you can say nonce
but just not as much
as you want to
like six or seven an episode good morning you're listening to BBC Radio You can say nonce but just not as much as you want to Like six or seven an episode
Good morning you're listening to BBC Radio Lancashire
Here's Quegg with the weather
Dan would you do the
Trevor McDonald spot
What's the Trevor McDonald spot
10 o'clock news ITV
Thanks because I didn't know what you meant
But then you said that and I was like oh yeah yeah
The 10 o'clock news
I know this sounds ridiculous To meant, but then you said that, and I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, the 10 o'clock news. I think we're...
I know this sounds ridiculous to say this,
but this is getting ridiculous.
Look at how we're fucking dressed.
No one at ITN's thinking,
I think the news could do with a bit of a fresh breath of air.
These two lids talking absolute nonsense
and hurting people's eyes with the T-shirts.
They might do at some point, though.
It'd be better, wouldn't it?
It would be better.
We would improve.
There isn't a single TV show or radio show in this country that we wouldn't improve.
Bold, mate.
Not a single TV show.
Not one.
Homes Under The Hammer.
Oh, no.
For definite.
Homes Under The Hammer.
Come on, mate.
With me and him.
He on Dublin hosts it.
Exactly.
And he's a boring cunt and he was a shit footballer.
And you can tell him
I said it
just because you want him
to hug you
you've listened to that episode
in depth
what news
I'd love to do
how good would the news be
with a few quegs
a few cunts
a few fucks
kids TV
oh mate
American election
is going on as we speak
and it's a
clusterfuck
more on this
Adam
I can see me and Dan
Bringing back SMTV
Yeah
Remember SMTV
Dick and Dom
Dick and Dom
No SMTV
With Dick and Cat Dealey
And we can get Cat Dealion as well
I know you want Cat Dealion
No but you could be
Dick and Dom
What would you be
Nance and
Adam
Well he can be Dick
And I can be
Dick and Nance
Dick and Nance yeah In the studio go go dick and nonce
but no i can't do commercial radio me and carl used to play boners
bonus without context play bonus doesn't fucking give us much oh you'll have to try and find our
videos to slide in here but there's a video video of me and Carl. So you know the bogeys? Here, do some extra work.
Do you know the classic bogeys game?
Do you know what bogeys is?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No.
You don't?
I was about 34 when SMTV was on.
No, bogeys was Dick and Dom.
Bogeys was even after us, but I still found out I was supposed to say through the grapevine, right?
Oh, right.
Didn't you watch Dick and Dom?
The grapevine.
Not really.
No.
Bogeys was a...
You had to sort of
say bogies louder
than the last person
who said bogies
and the first person
to get caught,
you do it in like class
so I'd go bogies.
Oh yeah,
I did hear about that.
Bogies!
Bogies!
So me and Carl
played it as adults
walking around town
shouting boners.
Yeah.
And then there's a video
of us in the Mayflower,
Liverpool's premier
Chinese 5am restaurant
and we're playing boners
at 5 o'clock in the morning and the restaurant hates us. Can I just say, playing boners Chinese 5am restaurant. And we're playing Boners at 5 o'clock in the morning.
And the restaurant hates us.
Can I just say, playing Boners at 5am in a pissed up Liverpool City Centre Chinese restaurant
isn't as brave as you think it is, is it?
Like, playing it in a soft play at quarter past ten on a Tuesday morning,
now that's high risk Boners, isn't it?
As a kid comes down the slide and Carl goes,
BONERS! 5am when everyone's like, in now that's high risk bonus isn't it as a kid comes down the slide and car goes bonus like
five a.m when everyone's like and they're just trying to get like prawn toast
but yeah but can i imagine how it went so adam went bonus yeah and then you went bonus and then
he went because he's competitive i think we're both equally as competitive.
No, I think if you watch that video,
then I feel like Dan's already seen it.
I do think that's how it went.
Usually it starts small.
Bonus.
We start with the winning boner.
Come on, thanks, Tom.
Bonus!
You just go for it, don't you?
Because, like...
Yeah, because you've got no shame.
I think the game
is funny
if you fear
the consequences
so if you're a kid
12 year old kid
year fucking 7
year 8
and you shout
boners
in geography
like that's high risk
innit
when you're a grown man
and you're in a pissed up
Chinese takeaway
at 5am
shouting boners
full voice
there's no consequence
depending on the Chinese restaurant
they might just think
you're ordering
I want to take him
to Mayflower
you'd fucking love
the Mayflower
I'd love the Mayflower
oh my god
we haven't been
on a proper night out yet
nine months of
being pod bears
weirdly
I thought about that
as I was loading up
a fridge
into a
into a thing
it sort of struck me
that there's like no social activities.
I've been saying for a while, because this is built...
When did you get here? Start of August.
We've been in here religiously since the start of July.
And it was all like, oh, well, we'll have a big night out
and there'll be a big night out.
Maybe we'll do something special for Christmas for the pod.
And then it's all just got taken away. And I'm and i'm like i was kind of planning to fucking do something
but i i could i desperately need a night out just to reclaim some of my testicles and be a man
i would i'd shout boners on the foot in the taxi on the way to liverpool that's
that's how excited i am we won't tell that story but we used to what oh yeah you played boners in a taxi absolutely
um we've got some brutal taxi stories some of the taxi stories you're involved with do not like
do not retell well no they're harrowing um can we just say that we've got tom the intern in
yeah just because i referenced it Tom the intern's in
yeah
if you're wondering
who that large person
behind Carl is
like
if you need security
yeah yeah yeah
fucking hell
oh and shout out
to the security
at the Heath Business Park
who watch the podcast
we love you guys
we love all the work you do
thank you so much
for keeping us safe
Joanne's the best
Yeah
We
Yeah
Stop naming people
There's a fucking
20 minute segment
Are you calling it a cunt?
I didn't name her
No you didn't
I didn't
Shut the fuck up
I didn't
Well I'll bleep it out then
That name you just heard
You didn't hear it
It was a big
Stop naming
How many times
Have we had this conversation
Fuck off
You're so professional.
You could work at 97.8 Cunt FM.
What's that Gab Webster bit that always makes me laugh?
Fucking listening to the music radio pisses me off.
Hi, I'm Dave Scheidt.
I'm on Cunt FM.
Join us down at Finnegan's.
We're signing Nazi death warrants after the show.
Fucking brilliant.
Absolutely fucking brilliant. Couldn't give a shit, warrants after the show. Fucking brilliant. Absolutely fucking brilliant.
Come give a shit, mate.
Play the song.
Oh, mate.
I'm on great form.
And I need to make a bit of an apology to you and to Carl because I have had some of my vagina tangled up with my knickers recently.
But we've had the scan and the baby's great and laura
has gone from to me and it's chilled out my whole we had a couple of medical things going on in the
build-up to the scan which is always nervy and i realized that i was letting that come out in the
form of being a fanny on whatsapp you've been a bit of a fanny, yeah. And it's weird because that's the,
like, you'd think watching the pod
that Adam's the one that's aggro,
and I'm like, hey guys, hey guys.
But there's been like three instances recently
where I've been like, come on, guys!
For fuck's sake!
And I'm just, I just noticed.
But I knew what was happening.
Yeah.
You had no sugar,
and your missus's pregnancy meant, oh.
And we were just, I was just like,
he's not
sleeping enough he's not getting his calories he's not allowed any rolos he's not allowed his kfc
rolos i'm getting laid i thought it was awful selfish i thought it was quite awful but i thought
oh right he's being a human there right yeah because he's a fucking robot isn't he yeah i'm
a robot yeah no emotion you never get any...
No anger.
Yeah.
No frustration.
He's detached.
How he wasn't put on Ritalin at school,
I have no fucking idea.
What's Ritalin?
I knew you were going to say that.
Don't you know what Ritalin is?
Is Ritalin...
Oh, I do know because...
It's for kids with ADHD, I think.
Yeah.
I haven't got ADHD.
I didn't have it at school.
Oh, you fucking have. No No I might have a little bit now
You've got a fun version of it
No I've got a little bit now
It's not
28 year old man
I'm on ADHD
Look at all the colours
I don't think I've got ADHD
Distracted by his own sleeve
Adam we're talking about international politics.
Eh?
Fucking mental, that lad.
I haven't got ADHD.
Eh?
What?
Mad, innit?
You look like a four-year-old, honestly.
Looks like a fucking cool four-year-old.
I love that T-shirt.
It's a fucking cool T-shirt.
Oh, it's a lovely T-shirt, yeah.
Yeah?
Do you know what it is?
You know the fucking Croatian kid
who played for Michael Jordan's basketball team?
No, he played against them.
No, he didn't.
He played for them.
No, he never played against them.
Yeah, he didn't.
No, he played for them.
Oh, I thought it was the one
when he played against them,
when he bullied them.
I know that was the...
Okay, good.
That was the Pistons one, sorry.
Yeah.
Well, he played...
The team they bought him from.
No.
The team they bought the Croatian guy from.
This is his team's name. Right, let's get it right. Tony Kukoc. Yeah, that bought the Croatian guy from. This is his team's name.
Right, let's get it right.
Tony Kukoc.
Yeah, that's the one.
Yeah?
I thought he played against them.
No, he signed for...
He was one of the later signings for that victorious...
And at first, they bullied him a bit,
but then he became an absolute fucking bowler.
Yeah.
He turned up after the Olympics in 92,
where the Dream Team had gone over
to just basically flop the dicks
around Barcelona that was it and he was like the big star of European basketball uh who was the
general manager of the of the Bulls who was hated the little guy who just gives off the worst noncy
vibes ever and they basically were like oh you think he's great you think he's going to replace
some of our players do you well let's just embarrass him playing for Croatia
but actually
he did play really well
in like the semis
or the final or whatever
but he went on to
to win I think
three titles with them
did well
well yeah this is
inspired by the team
he came from
yeah
what
the Croatian team
I didn't look into
I like the t-shirt
Belgrade
I was buying it anyway
and then the guy in
size in Liverpool
shout out to size
in Liverpool by the way they do some fucking great stuff uh he told me
the story behind it and then i wanted it even more they're also shout out to size in liverpool
still open because you know they you can click and collect can you yeah oh that's hugely important
um what's adhd wise though i haven't That is beautiful The fact that the person
Who's being accused of ADHD
Is getting his back on track
So I think I owe you an apology
I'm like Croatia
Size
But I don't think I've got ADHD
I think sometimes
People aren't entertaining enough
To keep me interested
So I get bored
And then I just
I turn off
That's not ADHD
That's other people
Being shit at talking
Yeah
That's the
What's happened there is
you've justified your ADHD
through arrogance.
Yeah,
that is an arrogant
defence of ADHD.
No,
no,
no,
no,
I'm not easily distracted.
You're just fucking dull.
As he says,
checking Twitter
at a gang bang.
I'm fucking bored of tits.
But I was good in school. Like, I didn't have ADHD in school. I was quite good. I did fucking bored of tits. But I was good in school.
I didn't have ADHD in school.
I was quite good.
I did well at school.
You know what I mean?
I think we all had a bit of ADHD at school,
didn't we?
Because it's pretty boring, isn't it?
No, I smashed it at school.
What, every day you turned up?
Until sixth form.
Until bogeys turned up and then,
bonus, sorry.
We were like 23 when that happened.
Good, and not welcome at the school.
Yeah, I did well at school up until A-level and then I sorry we were like 23 when that happened good and not welcome at the school yeah we I did well at school
up till A level
and then I was working
in McDonald's
who obviously now
there's a bit of a beef with
because of fallout
whatever
I think they're over it
no they're not
no they're not
I get fucking death threats
from them every week
from the general manager
from fucking Ronald
do you think
yeah
okay
I got sent a fucking clown face
in the box
is that how it happened
left on my doorstep
on the 1st of November
Halloween joke
you like that
go on
Tony
Tony
but yeah
I did well at school
but then
when I got to sixth form
I didn't take it seriously
And I was working in McDonald's
Off until
There was times where I would go to work in McDonald's
Meant to do like a four till midnight shift
Someone wouldn't turn up for the overnight shift
So I'd stay from midnight till seven in the morning
And go straight to sixth form
After doing a 16 hour shift
And just sleep in psychology class
But I wouldn't get an absentee
Because then I wouldn't get me EMA
I'll give you something, Adam Rowe you are a worker yeah i'll give you that because
yeah you you are a bit of a gig whore and it turns out you're even a gig whore back before you even
did gigs yeah who who wants to do a shift after doing a shift before six four it was i i it was
the money yeah i'd get like 60 quid for that or something
do you know what I mean
yeah
and I'd be like
when you're 16
and you're in a bank
you got the best fucking
trabs in card and lean
in sixth form
you didn't though
I didn't
you gotta be a worker
to do stand up
you gotta be a worker
to succeed at anything
like
they don't tell you that
they're like
what does it take to succeed
just
you gotta just do it work hard don't be a cunt I does it take to succeed just you've got to just do it
work hard don't be a cunt i mean be smart be talented but it's all directly related to
actually turn up and fucking do it because as we know from stand-up there's loads of talented
people you see roll in and roll out and you're like you fucking wandered off you haven't turned
up and done the shift there's loads of fine comedians who because they always turned up and done the shift there's loads of fine comedians who because they always turned up and
were tenacious about turning up and getting the gigs they've developed i mean the ideal is talent
plus the fucking graft yeah but the graft is massively important often as well the most talented
and this i don't think this is just in comedy like you see it in football as well like the most
talented player isn't necessarily the best player and it's the same
with comedians
the most talented
comedian isn't
necessarily
the best comedian
because the graph
doesn't come with it
and because they're
the most talented
they're like oh I'm
the best
so I don't really
need to work out
like Paul Pogba
at Man United
could be one of
the best players
on the planet
at the minute
and he wouldn't
get in most teams
he doesn't get in
Man United's team
and they're fucking
shite you know the high you go up. And he wouldn't get in most teams. He doesn't get in Man United's team. Not reliable.
You know the high you go up in everything, though?
When you get into the top tiers.
I remember doing that when I first went to Edinburgh with the big value years ago.
And you were like,
I was used to being one of the best new acts
wherever I went.
And then you got to Edinburgh
and you sort of looked across the line and went,
oh, here, everybody's good yeah and then
it really becomes like the pinnacle just starts and by that point you've got a combination of
the most talented smartest funniest people who fucking graft like i remember watching john
richardson do what he does for the first time and going oh oh there you go and it must it must be like what the the
lads at sport in lisbon back in 2002 were like when they were like fuck i've made it into the
sport in lisbon youth set up and then cristiano ronaldo at like 15 just went and you're like oh
right that's what the very top level looks like we've mentioned tony carroll a few times on this
podcast who's friend of mine,
a really good friend of Carl's as well,
and former comedian, doesn't do it anymore.
Tony never, ever put any effort into comedy.
Ever.
He was lazy as fuck,
didn't want to do gigs,
cancelled gigs because he couldn't be arsed going to them,
didn't put any effort in.
But natural funny-wise,
I don't think I know anyone in the world.
I've met the best comedians on the planet who's as naturally funny as him.
If Tony decided, I want to be a comedian,
I'm going to put as much effort in as I do.
Or as fucking...
Steve Boucher, if I started with, he works his ass off constantly writing.
Steve Boucher comes off stage, gets his notebook out and goes,
right, that went well.
He's obsessive.
Yeah.
If Tony Carroll put that level of effort in,
Tony Carroll would have been unstoppable.
And he hasn't got it,
and he'll never have it either,
because it's just not within him.
And you've also got to be able to take the...
If you're like,
God, you're talking about stand-up again.
We're not just talking about stand-up,
but stand-up,
the bad days in stand-up are so it's more intense because
you're having a bad day in front of 150 people but it's everything especially comedy though
it's the ability to go right i'm going to work hard at it and i'm talented at it
but we also be able to take the fucking hits yeah because early on in comedy... It's not about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you get hit. You keep moving forward.
Rocky.
Yeah, Rocky.
Nailed it.
Was it?
I'm so sorry to any stroke survivors that watched that.
I felt like it might have...
Do that again.
It's not about how hard you hit.
It's about how hard you can get hit.
And keep moving forward.
That's how winning's done.
I think it's pretty clear that this podcast
isn't going to do well post-car crash.
Thank you, Tom.
Finally, the voice of reason has arrived on this podcast.
You two fucking gobshites looking at me
like I'm a fucking idiot,
and he's looking at me like,
well done, Adam.
Really good impression.
I think he's sick of the fucking bullshit treatment
I get from you two.
If you want to keep this job permanently,
keep going with that shit,
because he'll love it.
Thank you, Tom. Make him an ally. Fucking awful get from you two. If you want to keep this job permanently, keep going with that shit, because he'll love it. Like, thank you, sir.
Make him an ally.
Fucking awful.
There you go.
Do better.
Go on.
I can't.
Scene.
No, I'm not saying I can,
but that's like me saying,
when Ronaldo misses a free kick,
it was shite.
I can't score it.
Well, probably could,
because I'm sick of fucking that,
but I can't do it.
I just, you can't either.
You're sitting there On your fucking high horse
That was shite
Do you want me to do Rocky
Do you want me to do Rocky
Yeah
S
Hes hes
Oh what scene's that
I haven't seen that scene
The boxing scene
Can you do better
Even Drago
Go on
Do Rocky
Do it
I'm not pretending to do Rocky
Do Rocky
Hey hey hey hey hey
Just because
I can't do it
Doesn't mean
That it wasn't shit exactly if we'd have
all come to this as like the rocky impression meeting i was like i'm fucking sick at this
you'd be like do better but i'm not saying anything but that was
rocky john it was a great elton John It was a really good Elton John
Have you cried on the desk?
You've
No it's
That cannot be
Covid friendly
Your tears
It's this
I honestly thought
You just
A bit of condensation
I thought you'd wept on the desk.
Croatia's good, though, innit?
What?
Yeah, that's where the sea shape is.
Tony!
I do like it.
It's size...
Honestly, size is open.
It's basically, if you're not from the UK,
size is like a decent shoe shop sell a few other bits of clobber don't they so they get quite a few like a
hyped stuff like they get like limited edition trainees limited like this t-shirt i don't think
it's like widely available it's essential it's the best streetwear store in the northwest until
i open listen i know there's a lockdown... We'll start up there as well.
These are essential fashion items.
Yeah, but that's more of a skate shop,
like the street wear as in...
Yeah.
Shout out Lost Rock.
It's quality that they're doing takeaway.
Takeaway fashion.
Loads of them.
I walked through Liverpool City Centre
yesterday morning
at like 10 o'clock
and it's fucking...
I'm telling you this.
In the first lockdown lockdown i never went near
the city center no same here we went we went to chester once just for a bit of exercise around
the river and we realized we'd walked up through town to get to the car and it was five o'clock on
a tuesday and it was like 28 days later there was just no one on one of those non-cpso fake
policemen and he was like hello yeah it's. It's different now, isn't it?
Yeah,
like,
it's quite scary,
it's quite like,
haunting,
to see a city centre,
the sun's fucking,
in,
on its way to being,
right in the middle of the sky,
and everything's shut,
apart from McDonald's,
and Starbucks,
like,
And is that what's happening now?
Yeah.
Right.
So,
I woke up in Liverpool City Centre
on
great save
when did we go for a bevy?
I didn't go for a bevy
we did
is it essential information?
Wednesday night
so Thursday morning
and walking through town
it's deserted there's just nothing open
but like all the shops have got you can order online and click and collect so they've still
got a staff member in there but the shutters are down but they've all got signs on the door
resurrection i love resurrection they always give me a bit of discount in there the dead sound so
check out resurrection it's almost like you know when you go to the garage and there's a guy
that won't let you in
but he'll serve you
through the window
it's almost like
the clothes shop
when I get to that point
like come on mate
can I have a hoodie
no a blue one
no one of the night ones
oh fuck sake
yeah
there's some fucking
trainees
no not them trainees
oh fuck it
yeah
do you say trainees yeah just because I'm hanging around trainees Oh fuck it Yeah Do you say trainees yeah
Just because I'm hanging around with you lids
Oh
Do you say trainees
Obviously
Yeah
Not trainers
Trainers
What do you say Tom
I say trainers
Yeah
Welsh
Yeah I thought you were talking about people who are training
We've got to give him the mic
Say hi Tom
Say hi Tom
Hi Tom
Oh my god Welsh Tom He's a nice lad A lovely sultry voice Woah Oh Say hi, Tom. Say hi, Tom. Hi, Tom. Oh, my God.
Welsh Tom.
He's a nice lad.
A lovely, sultry voice.
Whoa!
Oh, that's your compliment, isn't it?
Industrial Tribunal there.
He works for us, mate.
That's disgusting.
Yeah, and I would fuck him if he let me.
Day one.
Disgusting!
Well, maybe Tom's in together.
Mama like that.
Dream sandwich.
Well, Tom's nodding.
That's how much he loves this.
You can tell the economy's in the bin
because Tom's thinking about fucking Adam to get the job.
There's not a lot of work in Wales at the moment,
but I got an opportunity in Rancorn,
and yes, I got sexually abused,
but it was worth it.
Is that a good accent?
No, it's South Wales.
Sorry, mate.
I can't do Rexa.
It rang true, though, to be honest.
I honestly cannot tell the difference
between what you've just did and what he's...
Are they not the same accent?
No, I'm doing fucking Gavin and Stacey, aren't I?
I can't.
My banger's not very good.
I don't know what I'm doing.
Banger, aren't I?
I don't know.
That is a pretty good banger.
Is it?
I just do...
North Wales, I always do, for some reason,
like, smack heads from North Wales.
Like, all right, I got some heroin you want.
Why does it sound like he's spent a lot of time in Liverpool?
I don't know.
Cos smack heads are international, lad.
Is this meant to be Welsh?
No.
It's gone off the fucking rails, kid.
He asked me for change yesterday.
All right, I'm actually from Buenos Aires.
I can't do it.
That's what I'm admitting.
What happens to the homeless people now?
Just bring it back onto a really sad bit.
What happens to homeless people in lockdown?
Well, actually, Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor of the Chequers,
announced £50 million of help for the homeless during lockdown too.
Has he?
Well, yeah, I literally read it yesterday.
Oh, sweet.
So, but what?
So, £50 million?
It's about 20 quid each.
Like, here, get some good smack tonight.
Yeah, but like, how do they get it?
Through bank transfer.
What?
How are these homeless people going to get access to this 50 million quid?
Because normally you have to go through a process
and you have to get letters sent and send your ID and that.
Where do they get letters sent?
I don't work for the exchequer.
Well, stop dropping fucking...
Well, I'm not dropping mistruths.
I'm not, like, fake newsing.
But I've taken us off track here.
It's a good question.
What do the homeless do?
It's probably, like, local shelters and stuff.
Maybe put more volunteers out.
Do you reckon you could just make yourself a homeless?
You do.
You do every morning.
You know what I mean?
To just turn up and be like, ah.
To get some homeless help.
Yeah.
Park the Kia around the corner.
And give you a skint.
People do that, though, don't they?
They beg and then they get in the car and fuck off.
Yeah.
I've seen, genuinely, and I give homeless people money all the time.
If I've got a bit of change and they ask, I do give it.
But I've seen a van of homeless people pull up.
He's a good guy.
I've seen a van of homeless people pull up outside the bombed out church in Liverpool
and they all jumped out the van and went off in different directions
with their bags and stuff.
I used to work in a restaurant.
A van of homeless people?
Yeah.
Were they being dropped off from a shelter or something?
No.
It's a job in a big mansion.
I used to work on Bald Street.
Where's Homeless HQ?
Where have they all come from?
Just saying it's a job's not good enough.
Press that and by the sounds of your fucking accent.
I used to work on Bald Street
and there used to be
a fella sitting outside
an Indian fella
and he'd come
looking homeless
he'd have his sleeping bag
blah blah blah
he'd sit down
and he'd make more
on a Saturday night
than I'd make in the week
and that's not me going
oh he'd make loads of money
it's like doing the free fringe
and the paid fringe
you tell me
he'd make like four ton
on a Saturday night
because Bald Street's
where all the drunk students
go and look here's a
five or like
yeah but he's a
headline homeless guy
isn't he you've got to
work your way up to
that through the
ranks mate if you're
sat Saturday night on
Bald Street you've got
to be doing it 10 15
years before you get
that slot
he's a pro like
yeah yeah yeah
gotta start out in the
unpaid ranks
Tuesday and
Whitchurch that's a
fucking
lucky to make a tenner.
I've always thought, if you're homeless, right...
Here we go. Buckle up, everyone.
You know, because sometimes I'll go and do a gig in a shit town,
like Coventry or something.
Coventry's taken multiple hammerings recently.
Milton Keynes, then.
Milton Keynes.
And you'll see a homeless person.
And I'm always like, why are you here?
You could be in LA.
What?
What?
He means that as well. That's terrifying.
You could go anywhere.
You know when people come up and go, excuse me,
making a landless 22p for me bus fare.
Imagine if someone came up and went,
alright lad, could you land this 22p?
I need a flight to LAX.
I've got to fucking transfer to JFK.
It won't be as expensive as you think, though,
because they don't need to come back.
It's a one-way ticket.
They haven't got a passport.
How mad's that?
How do you know?
Just because they've lost their house.
You can end up homeless and still keep most of your stuff.
Some of them will have Xboxes.
It's a genuine question.
Why would you be homeless
in Milton Keynes?
You could at least go
to fucking Edinburgh
or like London
or Brighton.
Brighton's lovely.
Yeah.
To be fair,
being Brighton is...
Yeah.
You've got mates, haven't you? Being homeless in Brighton must yeah you've got mates haven't you
being homeless in Brighton
must be slightly easier
than being homeless in Aberdeen
exactly
so why aren't they all there
right
do you know what I mean
why aren't they
well hopefully they'll watch this
on their Xbox
you know when they're all around
the big flat screen TVs
outside like the
Debenhams entrance
that they all live in
in your imaginary
fucking world
where they're making
400 quid
on tax by the way
fucking on tax
we used to give him
coffees and everything
he fucking smashed it
he used to sit on his ass
have you got an answer
for me
I need some closure
on this
why don't they go
to somewhere nice
why are they staying
in fucking Milton Keynes
where would you live
Adam if you were homeless
in the UK
you can't go abroad
why
mate
because you can't
but I've got a passport
I've got one
I brought it with me today you can't just you know you can't go abroad why mate because you can't I've got a passport I've got one I brought
it with me today you can't just you know you can't just move abroad legally very very easily right
now you couldn't do it illegally either you're gonna be a fucking refugee yeah right Adam you
earn really good money now and you don't you don't live anywhere else yeah why would you have nothing
and then be like because it's time to travel? Because I've got ties. I want to see Malaysia. I've got ties to, you know, I've got shit going on.
I've got me family, me friends, me house, you know, this studio, the podcast.
Yeah.
I can't just fuck off.
There's things going on for me.
But if you love all of that.
Yeah.
Then I'd go to, I don't know.
Go on.
No, stay in the UK.
No, no.
I don't want to see where, just let his imagination.
Somewhere like either really cool, like LA, New York, or somewhere fucking mad.
Do you know what I mean?
Siberia.
Yeah.
Like Rio de Janeiro or like.
I'm thinking about becoming homeless, but I fancy the Maldives.
Do you know?
But why aren't they there?
Because it's not easy.
I am 39 and earn well, and I haven't been to the fucking Maldives.
400 quid on a Saturday night?
He's not paying rent, is he?
Do you know how long...
So he can save it?
How long would you last in a favela in Brazil?
Homeless.
So there's all the Brazilian homeless people there.
Yeah.
And then you turn up.
Yeah, but I'm...
All right, lad.
Yeah, but I'm a laugh, aren't I?
I can entertain them.
Who's drinking?
Everyone.
Turn up in that T-shirt.
Yeah, but I'd go somewhere cool.
Like Dubai, New York, LA.
Don't let it in.
Hang on, hang on.
What do you mean they won't let you in?
As far as they can say, I'm going on holiday. I've got a backpack. They don't know it in no hang on hang on what do you mean they won't let you in say i've got a backpack they don't know it's gonna sleep i really wouldn't try and being homeless in dubai just be careful of those places like oh you're homeless you're in the fucking bin
yeah they don't entertain anyone you'd be a slave in 10 minutes in dubai maybe yeah dubai's not a
great one then.
I don't know.
But like somewhere, or somewhere like cool, like the Midwest.
I think...
I think the thing is about desperation and hitting absolute rock bottom
and slipping through the cracks of civilised society is
you don't start thinking location, location, location.
Do you know what I mean?
When you're on the bones of your arse,
you maybe got a dependency on pretty debilitating Class A drugs. I I mean When you're on the bones Of your arse You may be like Got a dependency on
Pretty debilitating
Class A drugs
I don't think you're thinking
Fucking hell
I've lost
Absolutely everything
But this view
Shit
Yeah
You know what I mean
But
I think I would
And I don't know why
More of them don't
I don't know why
The best places in the world
Aren't just overrun
With homeless people
I think San Francisco
Is actually you know Is it I think San Francisco is actually you know
is it
I think San Francisco
has got a major
homeless
New York
has got one of the
worst homeless
so maybe they are
doing it then
communities
yeah but they
haven't travelled there
they're just from
they don't
it's not like
you know the French
exchange when you're
at school
you don't have like
homeless exchange
like
send the scouts
smack heads
to fucking Mozambique
and we get one of theirs
Steve from Bold Street in Liverpool
spent a fortnight in San Francisco.
Right?
There aren't many smackheads in Mozambique either, probably.
But, like, do you not understand the logic of what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What?
I don't think you understand it.
Explain it to me why it doesn't happen then.
Because none of you have given me an answer yet.
Are you being silly
about the international
travel thing?
You are, yeah.
I mean,
a lot of homeless people
do end up in London.
Right.
They are drawn there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So they are doing it.
Yeah.
So why are there
any anywhere else?
Do you know what I mean?
Why aren't they all
going to the best place?
Brighton.
Bournemouth's lovely,
especially in the summer.
Yeah, because it's like comedy.
All the comedians move down to London and then anyone who stays does place. Brighton. Bournemouth's lovely. Especially in the summer. Yeah, because it's like comedy. All the comedians move down to London
and then anyone who stays does well.
Fair enough.
Do you know what I mean?
See, that's a good answer.
There's opportunities, isn't there?
I'm just calling me a fucking idiot.
Bald Street guy.
Why would he?
He's making a lot of work locally.
I'd go to Lake District.
That Bald Street guy is the homeless version of Paul Smith.
Why is he going anywhere else?
He's fucking raking it in on Bald Street.
Why would you go to Lake District?
It's lovely, isn't it?
Yeah, but there's not as many people there to get money off.
No, but the people who are there are quite affluent and nice.
Yeah, but they don't tend to give money to homeless people
because they're all fucking Tory tight twats.
You don't know them.
I do.
I love the lakes.
Yeah, you love the lakes, you don't love the people.
I think we're applying weird logic to where you want to be homeless.
Where's nice?
Well, I'd rather be somewhere...
I get it, I'd rather be somewhere... I get it.
I'd rather be somewhere nice.
It needs to be nice
and chocker.
Right.
Do you know what I mean?
Loads of people.
Nice views.
New York.
LA.
Tokyo!
There aren't any.
There aren't any what?
Are there really no
homeless people in Tokyo?
I say the percentage
of homeless people in Japan
is probably
next to zero
well then even better so I'll be the only one there
I'll be fucking minted
I reckon I saw maybe 3 homeless people
in the entire time I was in Japan
and it wasn't in Tokyo
do they have a drug problem in Tokyo?
by the way if you've just picked up the podcast
it's been a weird 6 minutes but
Carl our producer
lived in Tokyo for a year no not tokyo is it nagoya
nagoya yeah um place not um no they don't it's alcohol because alcohol is dead cheap
and the business and like the the way community ethic is you work all day 12 13 14 hours like us
you get fucked in the night and you do it again.
Because if you don't get fucked up on beer and stuff,
you realise your life's fucking empty.
It's officially the most unhappy country in the world.
Is it?
Japan, yeah.
Highest suicide rate, highest rates of clinical depression.
Yeah, but how much would you smash it if you were the only homeless person?
Yeah.
Adam Rowe turns up.
He'd be a fucking celebrity.
Yeah.
Just sleeping rough around Nagoya.
Yeah.
Tokyo.
They don't... Genius, mate.
It'd be like the fucking video for...
Remember the script song, The Man Who Can't Be Moved?
And they're just like, who's this handsome guy on the corner?
Me.
Yeah.
I don't think that'd happen.
They wouldn't allow it.
They just don't allow homelessness
or they just give them a house
no
they'd probably just disappear
what they kill them
I'm not going to say that
but I'm saying
but you are insinuating it
no I'm not
homelessness doesn't exist
homeless people definitely do exist
yeah
I don't know where they are
but because the Olympics
is going there
there's definitely none
except I'm in London they all just conveniently disappeared didn't But because the Olympics are going there, there's definitely none. Except I'm in London,
they all just conveniently
disappeared, didn't they,
for a year.
Yeah, there was no...
Where are they?
No homelessness in Russia
when the World Cup was on.
There was no, like,
thugs, like football hooligans.
And they're not giving them houses.
We'll make sure they go away
for a little bit.
Hey, listen, shout out Japan.
I am not saying that,
but I'm just saying.
I don't know where they go.
I reckon we've uncovered a fucking mad conspiracy here.
It's like the chickens, innit?
Yeah.
You've seen...
Chickens.
Comedian Tez, he did a bit in his Edinburgh show one year
about where are all the chickens.
What?
Where are all the chickens?
What do you mean?
It's true.
How many chickens do you reckon KFC go through every day? Oh, you mean where are all the battery what do you mean it's like how many chickens do you reckon KFC
go through every day
oh you mean
where are all the
battery farms
yeah
like where are
like
there's millions
of chickens
yeah
being eaten
every single day
well isn't it
300 million a month
in KFC and Nando's
alone
exactly
300 million chickens
a month
are getting scrammed
in the UK
yeah
and that doesn't
include chicken cottage or nabsies or, you know,
crunchy fries, all them places, or, you know, roast dinners as their tests go.
That's a good island, aren't it?
There's billions of chickens going missing, and no one knows where they are.
Well, they're not going missing.
They know where they end up, don't they?
In your fucking tum-tum.
No, but I mean, they're missing.
Like, where are they right now
do you know what I mean
Adam
so okay
I see what you're saying
like
it doesn't make sense
have you ever seen a chicken
like
I don't reckon
they're real you know
do you know that KFC
don't like have
fucking chicken hunters
that would be an amazing advert for KFC.
Come to KFC to eat chicken.
Here's an advert showing our chicken hunters.
6am on the hills of Roncorn.
The chicken hunters for KFC.
I see you on.
We'll have a Zinger Tower burger tonight.
They're battery farms farms aren't they
they're in the countryside
they're fucking huge
and massively depressing
they're Auschwitz for poultry
basically
right
but how many are they
and where are they all
because we're talking billions
just because you don't know
where a poultry farm is
doesn't mean they don't exist
like your
your fucking record
have you seen a chicken
there's no chickens walking around wild
I see cows in the fields.
I see fucking sheep
in the fields.
Makes sense.
I drive through
fucking non-sea countryside.
Cows, sheep,
where are the fucking chickens?
Doesn't make sense.
It's the fucking Illuminati.
They're running fucking KFC.
We had so much chicken
on Wednesday.
It was obscene.
Oh, shout out, let's give them a shout out. Slim's. There's a restaurant in Liverpool.. It was obscene. Oh, shout out.
Let's give them a shout out.
Slims.
There's a restaurant
in Liverpool.
When it opens back up,
go check them out.
They're called Slims
on a Wednesday.
They do wing Wednesday.
Do you like chicken wings?
Yeah.
Unlimited chicken wings.
A beer and chips.
Ten at each.
Essential.
Open.
Yeah.
Thank the fuck for that.
So I think we've left
in this section
more questions than we have answers
on where do homeless people go
and where should they go
and where do chickens come from?
But it's been a mental journey
and apparently he doesn't have ADD.

Question.
Question.
Question.
Tell me what you think about me.
Islands.
Got some questions.
Thanks, Carl.
If you all have such success that your household names
so you're celebrities
and you have the chance
to have a cameo in any TV show
or film what would you choose
Stephen Fry was recently on the Simpsons
but my personal choice would be Family Guy
because I think it's fucking hilarious
cheers Dan Johnson
so you're
you're fucking you're a mega star and you get to cameo on like when brad pitt was on friends and
shit like that yeah was it one that's being made now because when you say films you're like
tricky with film so you've got to really say tv shows because you can't cameo on a film that's
already been made it's being remade or couldn't for the purposes of the purpose for this you can't cameo on a film that's already been made. Unless it's been remade or for the purposes of fantasy.
For the purposes of this, you can go back and you can put yourself in it.
I think that's massively arrogant to go,
I tell you that film that I really love,
you know like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood?
Fuck Leo.
I think I could play Rick Dalton.
It's a cameo.
It's not fucking, you're not Denzel.
The other guy in the background.
It's weird though with Game of Thrones, isn't it?
Because Game of Thrones having an English cast,
Game of Thrones is one of the biggest TV productions of the last 10 years
and I met a bloke that was fucking in it.
He does comedy.
You know the guy with Tourette's?
What's he called?
Has he got Tourette's?
Yeah.
He was one of the Night's Watch, wasn't he?
It's Ben, isn't it? Yeah. But it's the Night's Watch wasn't he it's Ben isn't it
yeah
Ben
but it's the weirdest thing
because
I was
yes
lovely guy
and he did comedy for a bit
and I think he's still doing it
but he's an actor as well
and
just to be
in the frog and bucket
and look over
and be like
because the frog is like
same with hot water
it's that place that you're there
all the time
you're used to the usual faces
and then you're
like there's that guy
from the night's watch
in Game of Thrones
just having a pint
what's his name lad
I want to get his
name right
he at one point
was their longest
serving character
I've never watched
Game of Thrones
just never got into
it
I really enjoy it
but I know that
people just get
fucking marked
like main characters
just they're dead
so I was move on
at one point he was the longest saving benjamin crompton yeah ben crompton his character grew
and grew it's quite a small part but by but towards the last few series he was i think he
was even like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah he was like one of the fucking main heads in the night's watch
yeah you didn't watch it did you No he was one of the
Longest living character
Yeah
He ended up like
The captain of the Night's
Hey spoilers
I haven't fucking seen it
I'll spoil it for you
What TV show
Just make him stop doing that
What TV show
Can I go back
Pick one Be friends for me I know you're going to say that Don't be so boring What be friends What TV show? Can I go back?
Pick one.
Be Friends for me.
I knew you were going to say that.
Don't be so boring.
What character would they have a 28-year-old Scouts lad on Friends with?
I can do an accent.
Right.
Hey, I'm walking here.
Yeah?
Okay.
Yeah.
Get out of my way, I want a coffee!
Whoa. A coffee.
Amazing.
Is he doing his Rocky impression again?
Can you just come up with a character?
What, in Friends, so you've got the six of them,
where do you think your character would drop in?
So, I reckon I'd date Rachel.
I knew you were going to say that.
Right, yeah, yeah.
Piss Ross off.
But Chandler, I'd make like a joke
and Chandler would be like
he's alright him
me and Chandler
and Joey
become best mates
and we slowly edge Ross out
and by series 10
Rachel gets off the plane for me
alright
not much
quite a big cameo there
hasn't it
you've completely changed
the fucking narrative
of one of the biggest hit TV shows
why don't you play a 28 year old Scouse homeless guy in New York of one of the biggest hit TV shows. Why don't you play a
28 year old Scouse
homeless guy in New
York?
In one of the scenes
like,
alright lad,
I've fucking
travelled here mate.
I'm an international
fucking homeless.
Yeah.
Check out the
Xbox.
Could do two
pints as well.
Two pints of
lager and a pack
of crisps.
Now that's a little
bit more believable.
Yeah.
I think that's your
level.
Yeah. I reckon I could be like
Johnny's
brother or
something
you know
Ralph Little's
character
I'd be an
Harry Potter
I'd be a
death eater
yeah
he'd be an
Harry Potter
just fucking
marking English
tests
if you got
shrunk down
by CGI
you've got
quite a pointy
face
you'd make a
fucking brilliant
goblin
at Gringotts
would you
a scouse goblin we've come to see Mr. Potter's safe and you'd make a fucking brilliant goblin at Gringotts. Would you? A Scouse goblin.
We've come to see Mr. Potter's
safe, and you'd be like,
alright lad, have you got the fucking key? And you'd have those
long prosthetic fingers like, have you got the
fucking key, lad?
Sosvaldemort.
Because you're bald.
Cool, mate.
I'll tell you what I watched recently
oh no
The Good Wife
The Good Wife
I'd be a lawyer
in one episode
on A Good Wife
in all
How To Get Away With Murder

noncy one
I just watched
I've watched Get Shorty

who's your man
from the IT crowd
that was in Bridesmaids
Richard Ayoade
Richard Ayoade
no

yeah
Chris O'Dowd
yes short on
he's like the lead role
in the TV series remake
of the film Get Shorty
that John
I haven't seen the film
John Travolta was in well I've not seen the film it's a completely it's a tv series remake of the film get shorted that john's in the film john travolta
was it well i've not seen the film it's a completely re it's a reimagining of the storyline
and it's fucking amazing it's got that vibe of breaking bad except it's funny so it's it's about
mobsters that get into the tv uh the film production business that sounds sick it honestly
it's a real blind side i didn't hear it talked about.
It got made about four years ago.
There's three series.
Get Shorty with Chris O'Dowd.
That is, it's cool as well.
Like, there's a bit of menace to it.
Like, they're hitmen.
They're murderers.
And then within, like, the first three episodes,
they're involved in, like, Hollywood,
and they're trying to basically money launder
via Hollywood film production.
I can see you
running the car wash
that they launder
their money through.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Can I do it?
Can I be an ethnic minority?
Yeah.
I'd be amazing.
The famous
immigrant
workforce.
Ethnic minority.
Norwegian.
Norwegian.
Norway.
What?
What?
What country is it in?
America. Yeah. So I reckon there What country is it in? America.
Yeah.
So I reckon there's less Norwegians than anything else.
They're not an ethnic minority.
You fucking idiot.
I don't like to.
Some of the misinformation.
It's like a fucking Trump tweet.
Hey, oh, lads.
Topical.
Next question.
Next question.

I sometimes just make me
hand walk across tables
let's make it a bit
funny
alright Denzel Abraham what a noncy way to start let's make it a bit Funny Alright Denzel Abraham
What a noncy way to start
Let's make it a bit funny
Would you rather
Would you rather
Have baby butt smooth balls
Yeah
And a hairy cock
Yeah
Or shiny shiny butt cheeks And a hairy cock. Yeah. Or shiny, shiny butt cheeks
and a hairy arsehole.
Shiny, shiny butt cheeks
and a hairy arsehole.
Oh, so it's basically
a reverse pubes.
Yeah.
But which would you
rather take?
So people like your arseholes
like hairy
or your shaft is?
It's easier to have
a hairy arsehole
than a hairy dick.
You'd be a nightmare
wouldn't you?
How?
Well, I... I mean mean it's both a fucking nightmare
in it in terms of just cleanliness yeah but i'd rather have a hairy arsehole than a hairy dick
like your dick being sweaty no woman's ever gonna want to go near a fucking ferret
yeah it would it would look so weird wouldn't? Yeah. Basically, you'd have two balls hanging off a fucking hedgehog.
Yeah.
It would just look like a hairy tuft.
Yeah, not into that.
I've already got a bit of a hairy arsehole.
I do trim it every now and then.
You haven't got a hairy arsehole.
What do you mean?
You've got a hairy bum.
Yeah, the crack.
Yes, but where does the hair start?
In your arsehole?
I haven't squatted over the minister check, but I don't know. Do you not get start in your arsehole i haven't squatted over in a minute
but i don't know do you not get hairs in your arsehole
i think you get hairs on your bum i heard that
watch words leave you no more
yeah i go uh i think i'm gonna i'm just gonna take the
yeah i mean laura will not touch my knob at the moment anyway so it's not gonna help if it looks Yeah, I go... I think I'm just going to take the... Yeah.
I mean, Laura will not touch my knob at the moment anyway,
so it's not going to help if it looks like Uncle fucking...
Why won't she touch your knob?
Is it Uncle...
Who is it?
It's It, isn't it?
Yeah.
Well, because she's pregnant and she wants nothing to do with me,
which I respect because she is pregnant.
So I'll shut the fuck up.
I even...
You know, when I just said that,
I wish I could put that back on as well.
God, she won't touch it.
Lazy.
Is she being a bit of a fucking knob?
No, I don't.
She's not.
Do you want me to die today?
This is a public episode, Adam.
Y'all got to be careful now.
She'll be in a gob shave.
Oh, my God.
She's pissing you off.
Oh, no.
Tell her, isn't it?
No, it's totally understandable.
I'm just saying,
my knob being more hairy
is not going to help.
I think if Laura's being a pain in the ass,
we should tell everyone her phone number
and tell them to text her
and say,
you need to suck that off good god let it phone bing bing bing suck his dick suck his dick
touch his balls lick his asshole just woo and maybe you'll get in and she'll be like
i've had 3 000 messages and do you know what they're right she won't even give me a back
scratch so i don't think online abuse is really going to get my nuts sucked
Do you want one more?
Yes please
Just to stop talking about this
For such obvious reasons
It's another would you rather
Shut up
Upset her
Nasty
My man lives in China
Have we got a little
Is he Chinese?
No his name's Callum
Chinese Callum Shout his name's Callum.
Chinese Callum.
Shout out to Shanghai Callum.
Got a would you rather.
Would you rather live somewhere with boss weather,
sun every day,
but you've got to wear proper thick clothes.
Yeah.
Or live somewhere Baltic like Iceland,
but you can only wear shorts and a T-shirt.
Love the pod, keep it up.
Shorts and a T-shirt in Iceland. Really? Yeah. you'd rather be too cold than too hot 100 yeah defo i've mentioned this before
i sleep with the fucking window open when it's snowing do you know what i mean i have my legs out
every day of the year i'm a shorts guy yeah when gigs came back after that lockdown in the summer
and gigs finally came back for the first few gigs
the weather was really nice i gigged in shorts because i was i really resented putting fucking
trousers and jeans on i was like oh god just really constricting i i do not get cold on my legs
but i always have a little snoot i get cold up top yeah i do. Do you know, like, when I used to have my dog, like, last winter,
I would walk Minnie, the dog, at midnight
with a fucking skiing coat on.
Like, I've got a massive, thick North Face coat.
And I would walk her with that on and shorts and flip-flops.
And I'd feel lovely.
So I was warm up here and my legs are cool.
How do I look like a cocaine dealer
who's dipping into the fucking product?
Like, don't give a shit, man.
Walk in the fucking dark.
Don't feel nothing.
Yeah.
Yeah, what is that?
Is that just because your torso,
your torso's,
like, have you got trapped in the,
have you got trapped in the Andes?
Not the Serengeti.
It's your white logins, isn't it?
The body's amazing, isn't it?
Because it goes, listen, the head, the body,
these things have got to stay.
It basically starts making critical decisions
about who lives and who dies on your body pretty quickly.
And the fingers are the first to fucking go.
Your hands.
Yeah.
Don't need to point.
Shut them down.
When does your dick go? Pretty soon, actually, isn point shut them down when does your dick go
pretty soon actually
innit
as soon as your dick's cold
it fucks off inside itself
doesn't it
you end up with another
belly button
yeah
have you got any
any order out of you Dan
what dick
yeah
middle of winter
do you know how
footy dick is
remember game of
five aside and your
dick just goes to a
new size and shape
after the game of
footy in the cold
footy dick
looks like a newt
it's embarrassing
speak for yourself
I just call that dick
I know you get it
because you've
referenced it before
in fact I'm pretty
sure you come up
with the term
footy dick
yeah
so
yeah but I mean
you did
yeah
it is funny isn't it
how the body does
certain things
and when you're doing
physical activity
and your adrenaline's up
and you're
like
there's no
Premier League footballer
in history
has scored a goal
and the body's got so excited
he's turned around
oh my god Gerrard
and he's turned around
with a fucking rod on
right in the middle
of his little red shorts.
I got told the other day
by Danny McLaughlin
that Dwight York
had a custom made pocket
inside his shorts
for his dick
because it was that big.
I got told they like,
they'd sewn in a pocket
to like the leg of his shorts.
You had to lend mine.
What?
True.
You had to lend mine.
All right, cool.
Cool, bitch.
Genuinely. Like they had a little
a little thing
and he'd slide his dick in there
so it'd stay there
for the whole game
so he had a dick pocket
yeah
in his Man United shorts
yeah
and you went
yeah that sounds believable
Danny told me
Danny
oh Danny's never
bullshitted anyone
has he
Danny's always
talking to Dwight York
have you never
watched Danny McLaughlin's
comedy
that is 70% just made up?
I fucking love it.
Like, as if you're like,
but Danny told me.
Why would Danny ever lie?
Yeah, but you've never seen anyone get an erection,
but it also does work the other way that
it's fight or flight, isn't it, for your dick?
You're playing Premier League football.
Or on the battlefield,
like back in the day,
when the adrenaline fucking kicks in. Would you rather lose your dick?
When the adrenaline fucking kicks in.
Would you rather lose your dick or one of your limbs?
Oh.
That's a fucking hell of a question.
Where's that come from?
Mate.
Just off the top of my fucking head.
Which one do you want?
Take any of these limbs.
I'll be all right.
Your right leg.
I'll take what?
My right leg?
Yeah.
You can fucking have it.
And I'll be right there next to Adam Hills and Josh Widdicombe
as the new member of The Last Leg.
Hey, lads.
Why did you lose that in a pretty brutal would-you-rather?
But they're not having my dick.
Really?
Of course, mate.
You lose your dick, you're out of the game.
Out of what game?
The shagging game.
40?
The touching game
yeah but you've
already got two kids
do you really need
your dick as much
as you need your leg
now
imagine how hard
it would have been
for you to get here
today with no dick
now imagine how much
harder it would have
been with one leg
yeah
you can't change gears
with one leg
do you get a
do you get a blue
hang on
do you get a blue badge
for not having a dick
defo
is that a disability
being a woman no no i mean if you actually lose your dick in a that was fire
it's almost like we're all thinking of ways to piss my wife off
he's nervous arms are sweaty knees weak
arms are heavy
you know in the
Patreon episodes
I'm like great
banter guys
knowing this is a
public I'm like
it's me
on the wife's knee
seriously though
if you lost
your dick in a
like an industrial
aid accident
you haven't got
the ability
to cum anymore
or have an erection
so that is a
disability
what hang on just because you're not able to do something to cum anymore or have an erection so that is a disability. What?
Hang on.
Just because you're not able
to do something
doesn't mean you're disabled.
It does.
If you can't concentrate
I don't have the ability
to follow this conversation.
I'm disabled.
It is a disability.
ADHD is a disability.
It's not blue badge though, is it?
No, because
it doesn't affect your parking.
Also, you'd not be able to fill in the fucking form either means you lose a dick or a limb
what they call them if i could just if i could pick the limb yeah yeah yeah you can use my left
arm then yeah but i want both my legs and i want me right why Why? Because I need them. For what? Everything. What?
Okay.
Also, when I popped my shoulder out,
and I had, like, the first time,
I had, like, two weeks where I only had one arm.
It's really, like, it's hard to get a shower with only one arm.
Yeah, it's hard to get a girlfriend with no dick.
Yeah, I'd lose my left arm.
Just rubbing your...
Then again, this is my bad arm now.
God, he's taking this one seriously.
I like it. I'd lose one of my arms
But I'd have to think about which one
Yeah but I need my legs man
Do you need your dick?
Yeah
I think it's crucial
When you've got four of anything
And you've got one of another thing
Just really consider what we're doing there
You haven't got four of everything
You've got two of them
They are different
if you've lost a limb
we're not trying to take it lightly
Christ but they've got amazing
prosthetics and you get a bit of
fucking help from Rishi Sunak
you know what I mean
but if I was
losing one of me legs
or me dick I think I'm losing me dick
you're not
I love foot think I'm losing my dick you know you're not I am no you're not
I am
I love footy
I'm serious
I love footy too much
I'm walking
I do it all the time
you love
footy
so much
that you're willing
to not have kids
no you can adopt
no I make sure
I have the kids
before I do
would you rather kick them
oh right
there's a technical
you can adopt as well
or kidnap could you imagine could you imagine knocking on knocking on I mean, you should have the kids before. Would you rather kick them? Oh, right. There's a technicality in it. You can adopt as well.
Or kidnap.
Could you imagine?
Could you imagine knocking on... You see a really cute one and you're like...
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're going to be a great parent one day.
I don't know whose kids you're going to be a parent to,
but you're going to be a great dad.
I've said before before if you could pick
you get a chinese baby wouldn't you
like if you could pick yeah they are the cutest babies
like asian babies like oriental babies are the cutest babies oriental is that not Is that not okay anymore? No. Really?
Is that not like the word to differentiate South Asians and East Asians?
East Asians, that's what it should have said, isn't it?
There you go.
Or just their nationality.
No, but you know what I mean.
I don't.
You do?
Yes, you do.
I have no clue what you're on about.
Do you want me to release our WhatsApp conversations?
Do you want me to? Don't fucking throw me under the bus, cunt. You know what I meant. You do? Yes, you do. Do you want me to release our WhatsApp conversations? Do you want me to?
Don't fucking throw me under the bus, cunt.
You know what I meant.
You all know what I meant.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
But I don't think Orientals, I don't think it's current parlance, is it?
I don't know.
I honestly didn't know.
Yeah.
Well, we're learning.
We're telling you.
Yeah.
But yeah.
Anyway, back to the darkies.
Go on.
But if you could choose, yeah.
Do you know why you think they're cute?
It's jokes.
Why?
Because Asian people don't use prams
because of the dense population.
So all Asian babies walk from early ages,
so they look dead cute like toddling.
Yeah.
Whereas English kids are all little pricks in the prams.
But it causes them to have really bad limbs
when they get older.
That's why you always see little Asian ladies limbs when they get older that's why you always
see little Asian
ladies struggling
when they get older
because they've been
walking for fucking
80 years
Susie Gimsbach
there's been some
incredible information
made up and passed
on today
that's true
that sounded
mental
there's no
yeah yeah
there's no space
in Asia
so they have a baby
two months later
they're like
come on
come on little Jackie
get fucking walking
you're doing karate
by four months
do you know if you
take Etta to like
Asda
yeah
do you put her in a pram
no she's not been in a pram
for ages
when she was
of pram age
yeah when she couldn't walk
yeah
do you know she didn't go in a pram just yeah when she couldn't walk yeah I was going to say
do you know
she didn't go in a pram
just because we've got
loads of space in the UK
no
she's like daddy daddy
I want to walk
I was like fuck off love
we live in the suburbs
it's spacious
you can get a pram
on a train here can't you
you can't in Japan
right so what happens
what do you mean
with babies that can't walk
when they're not able
to walk
the man usually has what is it a poose a poose that can't walk. So when they're not able to walk, the man usually has a...
What is it?
A poose.
A poose.
They all wear them,
and then when they can walk,
they walk.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not massively dissimilar,
but I know what you mean.
Yeah, yeah.
Some kids don't want to be in a pram
as soon as they can walk.
They're fucking toddling
and making themselves 90% more dangerous.
That's what my
daughter looked like.
I regret
the joke about the old...
I dropped the D-bomb and I wish I could have put
that one back in. I was just trying to be funny
and now I regret it.
Oh well, now we're both fucked.
At least we're both fucked.
I was just trying to be funny and I
regret it.
Well. I'm going to go for cheese and ham toastie.
I want a little nibble.
Let's go, babe.
We're going to have a nibble.
Back in a minute.
Today's guest is the wonderful Lauren Patterson.
It's going to be a belter.
Stay tuned.
And first, a word from our sponsor.
She's been walking since she's seven.
From Texas to Skim,
everybody is listening to the funniest podcast in the game.
It has to be Have A Word.
Welcome back.
We are back here, 97.4 TWAT FM.
It's TWAT FM.
We've got Lord and Patterson in the building.
How are you? Socially distanced, obviously. Hello. Socially distanced, of course? We've got Lauren Patterson in the building. How are you?
Socially distanced, obviously.
Hello.
Socially distanced, of course.
We've measured it.
We've covered compliant.
And it's exactly 12 metres.
Measured it with Adam's dick.
Yeah.
It took three weeks.
He's unfurling.
He's unfurling.
Good, Jane.
Little trundle wheels at school where it just clicks every...
What half a click in
first day
I was in self isolation
and we're in lockdown
so were you isolating because you had it or because you knew someone who had it
I knew someone who had it
I got tracked and traced
how did you get tracked and traced
because my sister and she gave me
my fucking phone number
you didn't get tracked in trace you got
fucking dobbed in have you had a test no i haven't been off work for two weeks so you just
no symptoms oh sweet yeah i have you been like you know when you've been to restaurants tonight
have you been like signing in the weirdest thing happened to me went to the morrison's cafe with
my daughter and you were served by me can you yeah can you in chester and she was like can you fill in the
form please and it all it was all it wasn't classic morrison's in it we got a pen and a paper
pass it round touch the pen right you track and trace god forbid we get covid and i i'm sort of
used to just being a bit of a knob with the track and trace because in my head, I don't want to be tracked or traced
and then told I can't work.
It's all for fuck all now anyway because of the lockdown.
So I took the pen, and then I went, I'm not signing my name here.
And it was the most amazing, like, randomizer from my past.
I wrote Dave Ingram.
Dave Ingram is a guy I started comedy with in 2003 2004 he quit stand-up about
three years later four years later haven't seen him for 10 years and for some reason went yep
that's the name and it just came out of nowhere i didn't put his fucking full address down that'd
be a bit of a cunt move i haven't seen you for 10 years enjoy your two weeks off i mean if you knew
his full address at this point that'd be a bit fucking weird but it was the weirdest thing so i have been oh shit
is this public oh yeah it is isn't it i've been doing my best to help curb this virus i haven't
apart from in morrison's everywhere i go i put it i just make sure i write 11 numbers down and it
starts with 07 right did you just start doing a little randomiser 07 325
417 837
should we try and ring that number now
you're on 97.4
you've just been
fucking isolated
I get it like if Carl got a
positive test or you did or
me dad or if Lauren got
one tomorrow now that she's been in
I'd be like do you know what
i'll either get a test or i'll isolate or whatever but if i'm in a weather spoons and someone in the
on the other side of the room who have been nowhere near get a cold i i'm just not i'm not
staying in for two weeks because from barry on the other side of the room's got covers i'm just
not doing it now that's that's what all comedians fear isn't it
we've not worked much this year
and then all of a sudden
someone's telling me
if someone sneezes loudly
in a fucking co-op
and you were there
but you're out
like no I'm not doing it
yeah
well that's the thing
I was booting off
because I was meant to be
at Frog and Bucket
this weekend in Manchester
so I was kicking off
and I was like
she owes us a week's holiday pay
and she owes us two gigs and then I found out we're going into lockdown and I can't do them anyway and I was like she owes us a week's holiday pay and she owes us two gigs
and then I found out we're going into lockdown and I can't do them anyway
and I was like alright fair play
maybe I overreacted
we thought you weren't going to make it today
I know
I think you might be the first guest
to get here definitely from the distance
you've done but on a train as well
what an absolute fucking champ
what a treat to be on a train though because it's now like literally illegal
for people to sit next to you.
Oh yeah.
How nice.
I've got no fear
because if someone tries to come sit next to us now
it's attempted murder.
Piss off.
Isn't it?
I love it how you jumped up.
Isn't it funny how people use COVID rules
like honestly I can't believe my sister
dobbed me in.
Fuck her.
I've lost two gigs but when it suits me
trying to stab me with your covid eyes i love it
good on you did me do you use it do you reckon if you
had co if i had covid i mean you were having an argument
and i coughed in your face it's illegal is it attempted murder though
no no i think you might get I think you get
What do you get?
Is it assault now?
Is it classed as assault?
If you died
It'd be like secondary manslaughter
It happened with some
Some woman caught AIDS
Off her boyfriend
Okay
Her boyfriend was cheating with men
He got AIDS
Gave it to her
She found out
And to get back at men
Slept with like ten men
Right
Gave them all AIDS
And she got done for
Or to get back at men Can you with like 10 men and gave them all AIDS and she got done for. Or to get back
at men. Can you tell that story again?
Some lady got AIDS.
She got back
at men by spreading AIDS.
Yeah, like fuck men.
Men have ruined me life. My husband
cheated on me wherever he was so she slept with men
knowing she had AIDS and didn't tell them.
And what's your perspective on that?
Lauren, that's why we've got you in.
Defend your sex.
Thanks for getting that in, Carl.
It was a bit crowbarred, but you did well.
So, Lauren.
Feminism does miss the mark sometimes, doesn't it?
These fucking feminists.
We need to...
Look, they stopped us voting for years
and they're really, really bad people.
Let's give them all AIDS.
It's a hell of a comeback, isn't it?
Also, since I've met my wife, I've realised that women...
This is stupid because you should know this anyway,
but the relationship women have with people sitting next to them on trains
is different.
For me, it's just like,
I just want to put my fucking, you know, my phone there
and just spread out a little bit.
And Laura, when I met her, was like,
yeah, I don't really like trains.
She was like, I was like, why?
Just because you like the space?
She was like, no, because I just think I might fall asleep
and someone will put the balls in my mouth.
I was like, okay.
What fucking trains?
That's a northern real life.
That was in her head,
why she didn't want anyone sitting next to her.
Why I can't sleep on trains
because I might get teabagged
in my fucking sleep
did she actually say that
she had this weird fear
of being on her own on a train
on a long journey
when we met
I did Edinburgh that year
and I was like
you could just get the train up
she went oh
five hours
I fall asleep
and someone will teabag me
and then I
I laughed
and she was like
no it's serious
it does happen
I'm like not often though
have you had any
weirdness on a train
no
I don't think so
you just don't want
you just don't want
people saying
tea bagged on a train
caveat
against your will
I've been single
for a long time now
tickets i've been single for a long time now tickets
i think because i'm small though i don't take up much space so people then think
my space is by default their space so i end up sometimes like literally like a little t-rex in
the corner and i'm not a fan of that right well you'll sit on the window seat and you'll get a
man spreading twat who just comes
it's not even men sometimes it's women with all their shopping and i'm like all right i get it
you've been to boots calm down like someone had some points
harrowed there i just remember in all the train journeys when you're just like you sit in and
you're like oh it's quiet and then you just get one stop down the line and a fucking family of fuckwits turn up and just surround there yeah there's a space next to me
kids they are you darren you sit there and you're like i don't want to sit next to darren one of my
favorite things that ever happened on a train and i never spoke about this on stage and because when
i started stand up 90 of my stories were like bus stories like I was on a bus and I heard these two girls talking.
Well, can I just stop you?
One of my favourite bits when you started out in stand-up,
you were like, I love, you got into a joke by going,
it's brilliant being a comedian, you get to travel everywhere.
So I was doing this gig in town and it always made me fucking laugh.
Like, oh yeah, I just love, you get to gig everywhere,
all around the country.
So I was on the bus going into town.
Beautifully done.
Yeah, I'm an international comedian anyway.
I was on the 193.
I had so many of them and it become a thing.
Like, if I posted to Facebook,
all the fucking, the Scouse comedians started the big banter off.
It would always, and I was just like, I'm going to stop doing that.
So this was only a few years ago, maybe like three or four. I was on a train and there was just like I'm going to stop doing that so this was only a few years ago maybe like three or four
I was on a train
and there was
this old couple
like they
she must have been
in her 70s
and he was at least
they looked like the
late 60s
early 70s
and they sat there
and this woman got on
and she had three kids with her
and she booked the table
that they were sat on
for her and her three kids single mum and she booked the table that they were sat on for
her and her three kids single mom struggling like fuck loads of bags and stuff and she went i'm
really sorry this is our table and he go well i i'm afraid there's no other seats for me and my
wife so uh we're going to stay here but thank you and he just looked and she went wow i've booked
it i've booked the seat and i was about to go, you've got to fucking move. She's booked the thing.
And a fella got up,
picked them up,
sat them down on the other seat that was empty and went,
tell your wife to go and sit over there,
you fucking horrible cunt.
Some scouts like,
this was on a train from Liverpool.
You know those horrible long trains from Liverpool,
the London Midland one?
So not the Virgin one,
like the five hour stops.
Yeah, you get it for £7.50 the day before
I've done that before
and been like
this is cheap
there must be a catch
and then I get on it
and I'm like
oh there is a catch
I've travelled back in time
it stops
in Leighton Buzzard
which definitely
doesn't exist
the next stop is
Leighton Buzzard
the next stop after that
is 1989
oh it's awful
he picked this old man up
and shoved him down
and said
tell your wife to go and sit over there
she's booked it
oh god
I thought you meant
he picked the couple up
how big is this fucking guy
alright you two
fuck off
I'd love to have
that deserves a clap
obviously what I would have done
is just sit there
go
do nothing
because I'm an absolute
fucking wuss
see
this amazing hero work
there's people listening
to this though
who are proper nonce like well what so he assaulted an old man oh yeah very very brave very brave assaulting
an old man it's yeah i know i know you mean but i'm on do you really think i'm not i'm i'm totally
on his side yeah i know you are all right all right no i wasn't gonna go at you i thought you
were gonna hold hands there across the table that was we are we hardly ever touch on theme park every now and then we our
fingers touching you know like you know like in a movie uh-huh when um like the couple their hands
touch for the first time and it's like oh it's the moment it's the exact opposite of that like
the exact opposite though it's repulsive and i sort of regret being his business partner for
like three seconds how long did you hold my hand for I honestly don't think I had to do it for more than two seconds.
Proper like, proper intertwined.
I'm getting anxiety in me hands.
Proper intertwined.
Just let's see it.
Let's just see if we can do it.
I can't.
Lauren, how long do you think?
You've got so tense.
Come here, come here.
Go on.
Like we're a couple, proper straight.
Come on.
You can.
How homophobic are you?
Hold the man's hand, Adam.
I'd honestly rather hold a gay man's dick.
It's not homophobia.
I'd rather suck a man off.
It feels creepy.
Right, Cole, bring him in.
Ready?
Tom?
It was horrible.
Really?
Oh, lad, it's not men.
It's him.
I don't know what it is.
It just feels weird.
There's just something.
You mentioned Morrisons when I mentioned Morrisons.
In the lockdown, when it first happened,
there was a few comics that went,
right, fuck this, I'm doing something.
And then we absolutely started hammering the podcast
to the point where we all had a little breakdown on Zoom.
Other comics just went, I'm going into hibernation.
And then Shanna's work for Sainsbury's, delivering.
And Jamie Sutherland's delivering for Tesco.
And you, because you were quite,
you almost documented it, didn't you?
On social media and everything.
You got a job at Morrison's.
I was to chat about it.
So what happened?
Did you just go, fuck it, I'm doing it?
Or was it through necessity?
Well, we had
all pandemic hits and then i got dumped and i was like this is a true shit storm of a year i got
dumped on april fool's day right over the phone and i didn't believe i was being dumped
and they used did you meet um you've definitely met i met him yeah i think you both met so
obviously we like we
obviously got on dead well we were a fucking couple and we had the same kind of sense of humor
so when the phone rang on april fools day there was a brief moment where i thought i was going
to be proposed to which is so tragic now you think about it i was like oh my god because i'd always
said if he proposed to his i wanted it to be something to do with comedy.
So either proposing at a gig or like at a festival.
And I was like, oh my God, April Fool's Day,
what a day to propose to a comedian.
And he gives us this really like big, big, far too detailed speech
about how he didn't love us anymore.
And I was like, he is really committed to this April Fool's.
I almost believe that he doesn't like us anymore and i let
him get right to the end of it and i went it's after 12 mate you're the fool and he was like
what are you on about it's after 12 i went i don't believe you and he was like no lauren i'm being
serious and i was like i don't buy it and he was like and then by April 6th, you were like, he's really committing to this bit.
And then I was like,
Oh,
I genuinely thought you'll sleep on it.
You'll sleep on it.
And it'll be,
you'll realize he's prank backfire.
And then he was like,
so how are you going to get your stuff back from London?
And I was like,
good question.
Very good question.
I thought,
you know what?
I'm going to be miserable if I don't get a job.
So I went and got a job at Morrison's and turns out still miserable.
Okay. Let's just, I it that hot i've got i'm so heartbroken to morrison there's so many things there's so there's just there's so many things uh-huh so
did you live with him in london yeah for two years right uh-huh so right so did he was it
yours and his or was it his and you lived there?
We both rented together.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Well, he still had the fucking audacity to be like,
how are you going to get your stuff out of my house?
Because I'd moved out before the pandemic.
He'd gone back to his mom's, and I'd gone back to Newcastle.
So I'd sent all my stuff to his mom's house,
thinking I was coming back to London in a couple of months' time.
But obviously, like, no removals could happen.
So I was doing Richard Herron's podcast in my bedroom in June to London in a couple of months time um but obviously like no removals could happen so I
was doing Richard Heron's podcast in my bedroom in June while a removal van just pulled up outside
my house with all my life's possessions so I'd like finish this podcast and I was like man isn't
it good to feel like a comedian again I was so funny on that podcast and I came downstairs and
my mom was like surprise all your shits yeah I was like oh he paid all your shits, yeah? And I was like, aw. He paid a removal van.
He paid half a removal van.
Oh, good guy. And I got invoiced for the other half.
Oh, great guy.
Do you know what?
He was always a gobshite.
Like, he was, though.
I met him a few times, and I was always like,
there's something fucking wrong with this guy.
I said, to be honest, I said,
what we're going to do about paying for this removal van?
Because, you know, working class girl, I do like to pay my way,
but also I was like, I shouldn't have to pay it.
And I was like, I suppose we could pay half.
And he went for it, and I was like, that wasn't the right option.
And I was like, right, so if you're going to charge us half,
invoices, and I'll write it off as a tax expense.
And he did, invoices, and now on my fucking tax spreadsheet,
I've had to be like, break up removal van.
But at least you put two kisses on the invoice.
Imagine trying to explain that
on my accountant in a year's time.
I'll be like,
as if I've got an accountant.
It's me.
It's just going to be me
looking in the mirror in April
going, well, Lauren,
you fucked up a lot in 2020.
Amazing. What a bell sniff
if you're gonna
like move
your ex's stuff
back to them
don't be like
I need half the money
do you know what
I'm more sad about though
and I think this says
a lot about me priorities
because we live together
he had the PS4
and I bought the Sims
for the PS4
and I'm really sad
about me Sims
oh he's got your
save he's got the game he's got the game they're gonna be dead in the pool aren't they they're
done this them stairs are long gone god it's like having kids isn't it and i'd built me in here
joint custody of the sims exactly want me sims back as someone who's recently gone through a
similar but not exactly the same thing i want to say i reckon it's harder to have
a dog in a breakup oh yes you think it's harder to have a dog over having kids on every possible
life no no having a dog is it's the same emotionally it's more difficult in a lot of
ways because your kid doesn't shit on the neighbor's garden or shouldn't and i think if a
dog dies that's sort of worse than with a kid,
because if a kid dies, you can actually say goodbye,
and the dog's just whimpering.
Do you know what I mean?
You can't take a kid to the doctors and get it put down,
so when a kid dies, you don't feel guilty.
These things don't always land.
What happened to the dog?
Fucking prick. I'm sick of hearing
this stuff about dogs
every time I go
being a dad's kind of difficult
it's like
ah shut up
I'd have six
but having my mini
is very difficult
because she needs
walking twice a day
sometimes
listen
I've just laughed
a far time
and it stings
so just get ready
for that
put it in closed space.
Right.
Here's the thing.
I do lean into that and it is a joke half the time,
but I do think breakup-wise, do you know what I mean?
I can't ask because I let her take the dog.
Oh, that's big.
Right?
Yeah.
I would have gone full custody battle.
We go to court for things like that.
Well, there should be a court for things like that, shouldn't there?
But also... This has worked out really well. study battle. You got a court for things like that. Well, there should be a court for things like that, shouldn't there?
This has worked out really well.
I'm not dealing with
COVID and your boff.
I don't need to deal
with a pandemic and
the smell of your
arsehole.
Accept it.
Oh no.
Tom the intern, burn that.
Thanks, Kip.
First job.
But if Laura fucked off, she's still got to let you see Etta.
I'm not allowed to see Minnie.
Oh.
You know what I mean?
It's a nightmare.
You should be able to be like, no, I get the dog on Tuesdays.
Every other weekend and half term.
You know, if Laura did that
and then withheld custody,
I couldn't go to a pound
and spend 20 quid and adopt another child.
You literally can.
It's just as easy to adopt kids as it is dogs.
You don't even need a six-foot fence for the kids.
I think as these videos are on YouTube
and I get called a nonce twice a week, don't think we're adopted just take one from the
park there's loads oh my god that's the second child abduction joke a joke in two sections
no wonder we're all mates you've fucking got the same mental illness yeah just steal one the three yeah if you could adopt right
a child
yeah
I just want to say
if she agrees with me
right
of any ethnicity
uh huh
what would you go for
Asian
yes
yes
hey
now that you're
two single
both of you are single
stay the fuck away
from each other
because you'd be
an evil couple well stay the fuck away from each other because you'd be an evil couple
well stay the fuck
away from
mine and Adam's
new half English
half Asian family
yeah
I can't believe
that went
oh my god
I said in the first
so you know the first
half just me and him
yeah
I said that like
obviously Asians
make the cutest babies
yeah
they absolutely do
see I'm not fucking mental.
You're all mental.
No, I agree with you.
You'll both make beautiful parents of abducted foreign children.
Of a stolen child.
Amazing.
I mean, I can't wait to see it.
Weird Von Trapp family.
Yeah, we don't put our kids on Facebook, you know,
because, you know, we don't want them to be traced.
It's for the best, isn't it?
Oh, right. What was our home? Morrison's. but you know because you know we don't want them to be traced it's for the best isn't it oh right
what was our home
Morrison's
no but you can adopt a kid
track and trace
just as easy as you can adopt
track and trace
on stolen Chinese children
I'm not signing these forms
why
because of Covid
no
because of little Vinny.
Vinny Chan.
Played it safe with the name there, didn't you?
I'll go with Vinny.
I thought about it.
I thought about it.
But I knew that if I picked a name,
it would just be slightly Chinese-y sounds.
Oh, my.
I'm calling it a fucking Chinese dish.
Oh God.
Okay.
So you're working in Morrison's at the minute?
I am.
Living the high life.
How's it going?
It's all right.
But, right, I don't like to play to northern stereotypes,
working class stereotypes.
I've been moved from the checkouts
and I think it's because I didn't know what a lot of vegetables were.
When they're coming like towards you
on the conveyor belt.
Which ones?
I love it.
Loads of them.
How Geordie's that?
What the fuck is a carrot?
What's this big long fucking dildo looking bastard?
Well, how is this for day one I had a moolie?
What the fuck's a moolie?
Is this in Newcastle upon Tyne?
I used to live in Newcastle upon Tyne and the fact
that that vegetable is available in Newcastle
in a rough bit of Newcastle as well.
That city has changed.
A moolie. How do you spell it?
M-O-O-L-I.
Morrison's are a white trough. I just thought it was a big white carrot.
A radish.
Why don't they just call it a radish then?
A daikon. It's a radish it's a type of radish
go on a moolie was another one courgette i got stuck on all right i just thought they were like
baby aubergines i was like honestly i think that's not i think this is all fuck ups that i'd make
i can't imagine that fucking barbara which bit of newcastle is this are you telling me that
fucking car Carol that's
worked there for 20
years I fucking sick
of the sea and
moolies like I was
raised on fucking
moolies what as if
they know what they're
on about fucking
courgette you Tory
so you've been moved
from the checkout
yeah where have they
got you in the cafe
with my mum we're
gonna kill each other
does she work yeah
she got us working class nepotism I was like ma uh you know how i'm always whinging in comedy
that middle class people get opportunities they don't deserve because they know the right people
well it's my time to shine don't worry lauren love i know some people i'll get you in that is such
like you know how i say like liverpool and newcastle are very similar cities
would you agree with that oh definitely that is such a scouse thing to end up working in the same
morrison's cafe as your ma yeah yeah when things go to shit you can always go to morrison's you
can go me and another girl work in the cafe and i went to school with this girl and her mom also
works there and we've got the same kind of like proper screechy Geordie voice so if we're both on shift together and both our mums are in all you'll
hear is ma ma ma ma like two little seagulls and put on my mum and her because her ma's on the
checkout my mum's in the cafe and the two of them are just like why did we get our daughter's jobs
yeah amazing you're gonna be sat there with your daughter one day going you're gonna join the family business my sister used to work there as
well you know my sister worked there like at first job when she was a teenager my ma's worked there
for 15 years my dad's just been made redundant my mom was like well you can always join the family
business i was like we don't own it you come from a long line of people who served cold fried eggs
and you're represented
by one of the biggest comedy agents
in the world
my mum works at Morrison's
I work at Morrison's, obviously I'm represented
by Avalon
but they take 15%
someone, I'm having drama
with fried eggs, someone complained
about we fried eggs because they said
they were too overdone and i was like wait right whatever i'll cook them less and then people
started sending them back because they weren't cooked enough and i was like well cook your own
fucking eggs and people were like that's kind of why they come to morrison so they don't have to
do that i was like oh i'm not gonna last long i'm an artist these eggs aren't cooked enough you'll
need to speak to my agent. Mother!
But, like, I think as well with being, like, comedians,
you're used to, if someone gives you shit,
you just give it back, don't you?
Call them a cunt on Twitter.
Aye, pretty much.
Can I do that in Morrison's?
Learn that the hard way.
But, like, some wife brought her breakfast back the other day and was like, it looks like that,
because I was doing, like, the plating up.
She brought it back to the girl on the till and was like,
it looks like the girl's just thrown it on the plate.
And I was like, well, I have.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm busy.
You've paid £4 for it.
What do you want?
It's to arrange it in the shape of a fucking labia.
I don't know why that was the first thing that came to my mind.
Which breakfast do you want?
The little breakfast, the big breakfast, or the twat breakfast?
The labour minor, the labour majora.
Are you hoping to stay on the cafe?
Or are you hoping to get back to the tills?
What, in your Morrison's career,
is there a certain bit you want to work on?
I'd like to head for the exit as soon as...
How long have you got, do you think,
before you just pop and throw an egg at someone?
I was quite optimistic.
And then when they said that furlough was getting extended to March,
I was like, we're all fucked, aren't we?
We're going to be locked down forever.
It was a weird one when they announced that.
There's going to be help for the self-employed.
You're like, oh, that's amazing.
Oh, that could be brilliant.
It's going to maybe go till March.
They're like, no, I don't want the money.
I just want to be able to do comedy.
Just open the clubs.
Yeah. But, yeah. Yeah yeah it's a kicker we've got a you don't you don't want to feel too negative but i've spoken to a couple
of comics recently and they're like it's just as long as we get to gig in december and i feel like
going cool stay positive yeah just mentally prepare yourself that that might not be fucking
happening in December.
There's an element of that.
I do think it is going to happen in December.
I think we're coming back in December because they want Christmas.
Because they want to be able to go, we gave you Christmas.
For fuck's sake, vote us back in.
I think they're going to give us Christmas.
Tom's nodding.
See, he's going to be on everything, Tom.
Yeah, Tom, it's a great way to get this job i think they're gonna give us back christmas
and i don't think they're gonna give us back christmas gigs i've got this i've got this
horrible feeling that you know out of the first lockdown when it all went up the gears and it
very much felt like comedy the only thing getting shat on more than comedy was like soft play in
nightclubs yeah and I'm worried
that that's going to be
the case again
obviously you can go
and see your family
and friends
what about venues
no they're fucked
no I think we're coming back
I think most places
are going to be in tier one
in December
and I think the end of December
there's going to be
a fucking massive spike
and January
is going to be
the worst it's been
at any point
and I'm gutted about that
because that's where
my birthday is aww say mine's the 4th point. And I'm gutted about that because that's when my birthday is.
Aw.
Say, mine's the 4th of December.
So I'm like, we better get this locked.
Ooh, that was a few seconds there.
It's horrible.
Sorry, love.
If we get out of lockdown on the 2nd of December,
I'll be very happy because then I get to have a birthday.
When's your birthday?
4th.
The 4th.
I optimistically booked the weekend off work way back in April
because I was like, we won't still be
in lockdown
and now I'm like
oh
yeah
what are you going
to do
how old are you
going to be
27
oh big one
yeah
what are you going
to do
probably die
enjoying the 27
club
I feel that would
be very on brand
for me
while working at
the Morrison's
cafe
just like Hendrix
yeah it's
it's brutal
isn't it
I asked the other day I was, what are you doing for Halloween?
And you're like, oh yeah, I forgot.
No one's doing anything.
Apart from setting off all the fireworks that have ever been created,
how was, like, the video you put up on Twitter, Carl, was...
It was that for five hours.
Oh, God.
Like, not like, oh, there's a display.
Permanent fireworks for five hours
it did sound like you're in beirut yeah i love bonfire night me yeah yeah i ate fireworks every
other night of the year but bonfire nights i feel yeah no i yeah i enjoy bonfire night but it was
it was extra wasn't it yeah this bonfire night people like well i can't go anywhere i've got
to do fuck all we're not going anywhere for a month.
So they basically got the arms of a small Arab state and let them off in their small gardens.
I don't know why anyone would have spent money.
If you just walked outside and looked up or slightly to the side,
you had a free display, didn't you?
Yeah, but that's not the same, especially if you've got kids,
having your own firework.
Or a dog.
Yeah, well, yeah. We're surrounded by dogs. Me especially if you've got kids, having your own firework. Or a dog. Yeah,
well,
yeah.
We're surrounded by dogs,
so like,
me and my neighbour Neil were like,
are we going to do something?
And it's just,
it's eggy,
isn't it?
Because you're like,
oh,
I've got dogs here,
dogs there,
we get on really well
with our neighbours,
so we just left it.
And then the house,
two doors down,
went,
nah,
fuck it,
we're going to get everything.
And it was immense
and it was for free.
Do you think it's weird that we celebrate Bonfire Night?
Because of what it is.
Because Guy Fawkes, he tried to blow up the house apartment.
That's why we do it, isn't it?
Yes, I think that was the history of it, isn't it?
Yeah, but like, isn't that weird?
We don't like, there's no other terrorist attacks that we have a party for.
Remember, remember, 7-7.
Exactly.
We don't have a fucking you don't get
clowns round on
9-11 do you
it didn't happen
did it
I think they're
celebrating the
fact that it was
foiled
yeah
they're not
celebrating the
fact that it
happened
oh
yeah
okay
they
they
they
it's not really
bad
I feel like I'm
on an episode of
unsolved mysteries
fucking Richard
Osman over there
well actually
I'm right again.
And then they were hung, drawn and quartered, weren't they?
Yeah.
Nice.
Is quartered mean you get cut into four?
You get your limbs chopped off.
You're hung until you're nearly dead.
Drawn on a...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is that where Hangman comes from?
Talk me through what you think hung, drawn and quartered is.
Hang them.
Oh, hang them.
No! Come on, come on.
Barry, more fucking neck.
Always Barry.
Also.
Go on.
Like, so quartered is you cut their arms and legs off.
Would that cut you into five?
Because you've still got your body.
So that's not quartered.
I think the four chops of your limbs.
And then they get your...
Are we doing this?
They get all your organs out and show them to you as you're dying.
I feel like you're already dead at that point.
Maybe.
Yeah.
I don't think you could be there with no arms and no legs
and your fucking lungs out having a nightmare.
Are you sorry now?
All right, we'll pop them back in. said he's sorry carol get the song get the
sewing kit yeah it is a weird one to celebrate it's so long ago like any of those lids last
night were like fuck you guy fuck i love parliament me go on bojo
um good i don't know.
You're looking at me like going,
how do you want to follow it?
I'm not sure.
Whenever there's a moment where we're both looking at each other like that, Lauren,
it means you're like,
what are we going to do?
Which way are we going?
Are we going for a break?
Are we going to make it worse?
Are we going to say something offensive?
Are we going to do an accent?
Can you just, before we go to this break,
can you show Lauren your Geordie accent in full?
I didn't know where that sentence was going there.
Oh, right.
You show Lauren the problem you've got down there.
She's seen it before.
Oh, he's got a sore dick at the moment.
I haven't.
It's fine now.
Is it back in the game?
I sexed last week and I stubbed it.
Stubbed it?
On a fanny or a table?
Nailed it. Oh, shit. last weekend I stubbed it stubbed it? on a fanny or a table? nailed it
oh shit
I come out
like Jordan
and then like
instead of going back in
it like hit her
fucking thigh or something
she's got really hard thighs
yeah
it was literally like
yeah
it was
it was not fun
she also listened
to the podcast
when I
talked about that
in detail
found it very funny
very luckily
it's easier to ask
for forgiveness
than permission
to tell love stories
me Geordie accent
yeah
can you give him
a chat
I'm not saying
mine's much better
but this is particularly
fun
can you give him
a Geordie sentence
a Geordie sentence?
A Geordie sentence.
Howie, I'm going into town.
Howie, I'm going into town.
Nailed it.
Sorry.
I don't know why I thought it'd be funny, because he's just... Is that Walker or Blake?
Yeah.
Gates Eddish.
Yeah.
Nailed it.
Yeah.
Howie, I'm going into town.
I'm going to the Eldon Square
shopping centre
for some Nando's.
Who is your favourite
Newcastle player of all time?
The man who sang
Fog on the Time.
He played for Newcastle?
He did.
Jimmy Nail?
No, it was Gazza, wasn't it?
Oh, yeah.
I think a Geordie would know Gazza's name before going. No. No, was Gazza on it? Oh, yeah. I think a Geordie would know Gazza's name before going,
you know the man who went fishing after that guy went mental?
My school had to be shut because of that, you know.
What was he called?
Raul Moat.
As if you don't know Raul Moat's name.
You didn't know Gazza's name three seconds ago
when you were pretending to be a Geordie?
You fucking stub-dig motherfucker.
Stub-dig.
Rowell Moat.
Yeah.
Everyone knows Rowell Moat, though.
You can't forget that.
Loads of footballers.
There's only one Rowell Moat.
There's only one Rowell Moat.
One Rowell Moat.
If you don't know we were talking about
a Geordie guy
went fucking bananas
and went on a rampage
with a gun
is that right
yeah
and then he was hiding
or like spotted or something
near mine
and I remember like
trying to go into school
I was like 15
and all the gates were locked
and I was like
oh why can't I get in
and they were like
well if I lock the gates
because of Raoul Mote
and I was like
well I'm not fucking him
am I like
he's in disguise five foot like little toothpick of a girl and they were like, well, if I lock the gates, because of Raoul Mote, and I was like, well, I'm not fucking him, am I?
He's in disguise.
Five foot, like, little toothpick of a girl.
I was like, he's not in me Jane Norman carrier bag.
Like, he's definitely not in here.
Checking you for firearms.
And then Paul Gascoigne turned up there, didn't he?
Paul Gascoigne went in a taxi with some fishing equipment,
because apparently he knew Raoul Mote,
and had been fishing with him or something and took some
cans of lager
and some chicken
and was surprised
when the police
wouldn't let him
through the security
cordon
that's one of the
best tweets of all
time isn't it
Joe from the
police account
Paul Gascoigne
survived at the
scene with some
chicken and a
fishing rod
one of the best
tweets of all time
who in the police is like i've got to
justify my job here guys i know these i know there's a firearm situation and people could
lose their lives but i've got to live tweet it how can they hire an intern it's just like i've
been told to keep an eye on the social media and i need to update them it's also 2-0 to Newcastle.
Shall we have a break?
Yeah, I think we need to. Before we have a breakdown.
I called you a stub dig.
What's happening, lids?

How long have you two known each other?
Because we've known each other pretty much since we started.
When did you start?
2012.
Yeah.
First time I remember meeting you was 2013 at the BBC.
BBC New Comedy Award in Manchester.
Yeah.
That was a bit of a weird one. Did you ever do that?
The BBC New Comedy Award
er
1848
it was different times
loads of people doing
like Queen Victoria banter
did you do it
I can't remember
who won ours
er
New Comedy Award
I did in 2002
years
how did you get on
I got to
the
semi-finals
in London
and I
there was two
two semi-finals Gary Delaneyon and i there was two two semi-finals gary delaney won his one
and what's he ever fucking done and then in mine i lost to a guy called paul carenza
oh yeah who is still rings a bell yeah he's a so he's a pro comic but he's a christian as well
and uh that has really got in the way of his career, I think.
Really?
Yeah, he's quite a devout Christian.
And to be fair, that's not fair.
I haven't gigged with him loads.
I think I saw him once about 10 years later.
But he books a gig in Rutland,
which I think is the smallest county in England.
And he booked it in a church.
And you know when you go to a church
and it's clearly quite a modern church
and they're dead sound.
Yeah.
But the vicar was like,
okay, so we'd love to have you.
They're so friendly,
lovely dressing room
and actually quite a modern church.
And he gigged on the stage
and they were like,
so we don't,
we just ask you don't do any swearing.
You know,
we don't mind an occasional bee.
What's a B?
Bitch or bastard or bellagg?
Maybe a B.
Balls.
Bollocks.
All the Bs.
All the Bs.
But not that many Bs in one sentence.
What do they mean by B, though?
Bastard.
Bastard.
Maybe.
So bitch.
S.
Maybe an S.
But no Fs and definitely no Cs.
That's the conversation we had before we went on.
Just a gamer countdown.
Yeah.
What's S? Supercum. Shit. Supercum. and definitely no C's that's the conversation we had before we went on just a game of countdown yeah what's that super conti
shit
super conti
that took you
20 seconds
didn't it
but yeah
they were my semis
and I think
Nina Conti
went on to win it
back in the D's
mate
who was your
BBC's
I don't know
who won that
oh yeah
2013
I think Brennan
won it
oh yeah
maybe
oh no did he win it
I think he got to the final
maybe
we never got off the heat
both had very good gigs
though I remember that
yeah
it was a good night
I was so young
I was like 19
Jesus
where was your first ever gig
Chilli Arms
in Heaton
oh there you go
yeah
it was for
So You Think You're Funny
because like obviously
when you first get started
in comedy especially like in Newcastle where I had The Stand and that was it and I was like well how think you're funny um because like obviously when you first get started in comedy especially like in newcastle i had the stand and that was it i was like well how do you
start gigging so i knew about that competition just turned up to the chilly arms and was like
aye this will be fine and then i kind of didn't think anything else of it and i was with lost
voice guy he was in my heat and he didn't get through and again what's he ever going on to do
with himself
other than win a quarter of a million quid on the talent show because he's really good
but I was at tea in the park at the festival and it was a Julia the person who runs it she rang us
and I was pissed in the field and I was like what she was like we just need you to come down to
Edinburgh next month because you threw the semi-finals and I was like no I'm not and she
was like no you are I'm bored of comedy now I was like that wasn't in the plan i would be 18 then i was waiting for
my a-level results and what what was it what was it that made you want to do stand-up were you
always been a fan of comedy because it's quite a thing to like 18 19 go i'll just i'll just go
and enter a competition yeah what made you want to do comedy what do you mean no but no but i mean what what
are your goals no sorry like why does no one love you yeah why are you sad um no i just i mean i i
suppose when you ask the question of like oh why did you get into comedy it is like really hacky
question but what at 18 as an 18 year old girl that's not that it's just it's
great i just wanted to know where i'm still getting fingered and stuff don't worry
oh well i withdraw the question then as long as you're getting finger banged like
yeah i'm on i'm not a lesser or anything it wasn't a total little weirdo i don't think no
demographic of people talks about getting fingered more than jordy women oh yeah we love it yeah i have experience of that oh actually on a patreon
episode i sort of teased the story didn't i oh yeah is this the story i know yeah it definitely
is because i started telling a story and it made him think of it, and he had, like, a 30-second, like,
felt like he'd fucking malfunction.
Genuinely.
Because I'd suppressed that night.
Yeah, until I...
From memory.
How much better is this?
How much better is this?
Lauren, why did you want to get into comedy?
Oh, sorry, can we just pause that as Adam has a panic attack
while thinking about fucking a girl in a bush?
Go!
Yeah, so, by the way, Lauren, my friend Lauren...
Good friend.
Fucking cunt on the couch over here.
Right.
When I...
No, and you've had seven years.
Yeah.
When I battled Maisie Adam on Roast Battle,
she told Maisie this story
so that she could use it on the television.
Oh, you rat.
But I felt a bit sorry for Maisie
because I knew Maisie didn't know Adam that well.
And I was like, write our message, Maisie,
and I'll see if she needs any, like, help or any gossip. any gossip provoked maisie didn't ring her and go got anything she volunteered
that's exactly what you do it's good fun level the playing field
to be fair don't hiss the come on this podcast
yeah i saw a message there and i was like oh I've got this story and it's brilliant I was like
if you can find any way
to make a joke about it
now don't ditch her
in the end
she didn't
missed an opportunity
golden opportunity
right
stop teasing this story
tell this fucking story
I don't actually think
we can tell it
oh
yeah we can
sure
upset me
upset me
last image
me and Lauren
were on a nice out
why were we on a nice out
we'd been gigging together
in Newcastle
yeah
oh the Alphabetti
the Alphabetti
so we did a double header
preview night
Lauren arranged it
was boss that wasn't it
it was really good
I think it was better
than any show I had
in Edinburgh that year
you know those previews
yeah when you're like
I'm getting nominated
and three days in
you're like
I'm going home in debt
I've had that happen in darlington have you
ever had neil jolly go come and do the darlington and it's like the weekend before the the fringe
you've done like 10 previews you're like this is singing and then that's the sunday night and by
the first preview in edinburgh you're like i'm gonna die i'm gonna die awful so we've done the
alphabetic and then uh your family were there and a few of your friends
and stuff and we went out was it me you and it ended up me you and your at the time boyfriend
yeah because i was living that was the house i lived in where i lived with me x and the boy i
was currently going out with that was that house yeah is all your life situations like a sitcom
waiting to happen i work at the morrisons with me mom it's a new drama on the bbc this sitcom's crazy it's my ex and my current
boyfriend pisses me off though when i like obviously like i tweet a lot about my life and
stuff that's going on and people are like hey should write a sitcom and i'm like no i'd never
thought of that no i'm living one oh never mind but yeah
I was staying in yours
wasn't I
yeah
because although
you know we made a little
bit of money from the preview
you're not paying
Newcastle hotel rates
no one can afford
12 quid
when you're coming up
as a comedian
Newcastle's hotel rates
are fantastic
they're always cheap as fuck
it's wonderful
but thanks for that
Newcastle tourist information
public service announcement
someone sponsored by the ibis get it and you know when you're in a newcastle hotel
you can shave your balls with the equipment from manscape.com
use the what use the promo code word and i don't remember how i found this
let's call her lady lady this lady be generous
what in a gay bar what in powerhouse it wasn't a man
it wasn't a man hey i know you like a 10 p.m but
oh no like this wasn't so what that reference he's just made a 10 p.m man carl made a joke a
couple of weeks ago that said,
you know, like, at the end of the night,
like, six o'clock in the morning,
when there's only a few people around,
it were, like, awful, but you're like,
I need something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Carl said that I go for them at 10 o'clock at night
just to play it safe.
Spread button, right?
Spread button.
That's disgusting.
Get it when it's reduced,
but not, like like reduced to clear
it's like this is going off
tomorrow
Morrison stuff's
working
get one with a whoop stick
go on
so we were hammered
or at least I was
oh yeah
we were all hammered
but I was hammered
hammered
and I was single at the time
and like
we've spoke on the
Patreon episodes
and if you're not on the Patreon episodes.
And if you're not already a Patreon,
patreon.com slash have a weird pod.
You get all the juicy details of a lot of this stuff.
We can't not tell this today with Lauren being here, though.
I used to get ridiculously drunk every time I went out.
Like blackout drunk.
And I only remember little flashes of this night.
That's why last week when I got triggered for this,
I literally got all of them at once. And it was like you know when like someone's taking photographs of you with the flash on but you're not really expecting also while this was happening i was
telling a story that was unusual and i was so into telling it that i didn't realize what was going on
for a lot of it then i watched it back on video and there's a whole bit of Adam going...
He's literally having an epileptic fit through shame and guilt.
Oh, God.
What are you up?
I'm telling it.
He's telling it.
So, we were in Newcastle.
Right.
Carl, we were in Newcastle
and we'd done a gig together
and I was staying in London.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
It must have been late as well because this is a club
that's open till like
five in the morning
which I think is why
we were there
they have like multiple floors
yeah yeah yeah
what's it called
Powerhouse
Powerhouse
it's a gay club in Newcastle
and I don't know
if it's deliberate
but there's a little sign
that says entrance
round the back
yay
and it's just proper
I don't know if
they thought that one through
but it tickles me is it the pink triangle is that what it's just proper. I don't know if they thought that one through, but it tickles me a lot.
Is it the pink triangle?
Is that what it's called in Newcastle?
Yeah, there, yeah.
There's like the life centre.
All the bars and the life centre.
Yeah, and then there's like the 16 venues for the...
All in.
Yeah, very...
Yeah.
Yeah.
You've gone so pale.
Are you sure it wasn't a man?
It wasn't a man.
Okay.
She certainly wasn't a man anymore.
That's the best I can say.
That's all I can say for absolutely sure.
She had fully transitioned.
Name's Barbara.
Come on, love.
It had a vagina.
That's all I can say.
Oh, Jesus.
I don't remember
meeting her
but
we're on this nice
I was third wheeling
with Lauren
and her boyfriend
was it just us three
no I think people
from my work
must have been out as well
there was definitely
a group of us
because we
try to like
expectate a sport
watching
we run and
commentary the fuck
out of it
give me the story
give me the story
so I just
we were just going for it
how did you meet on the dance floor I honestly have got no idea do you remember lauren i remember
like turning away turning back and i was like adam's found a friend and then knowing you're
like oh we'll just leave and be and then it progressed very quickly on the dance floor on
the dance floor on the seats in the little booth yeah She had her hand in me pants. Yeah. We didn't fuck on the dance floor, but...
No, no.
I like that.
Mama likes that.
Don't take a note at monkeys, though.
I bet that I fuck you on the dance floor.
I don't know if you came for a woman or...
I don't know what you're looking for.
Oh, good God.
Stop making the eye at me.
I'll stop making the eye at you.
Yes.
Fingers.
Sorry.
Here's the thing.
Sorry.
Here's the thing, okay?
When you're hammered, right?
When I'm hammered, I certainly have a lot of confidence.
But also, right? Like, I want to hammered, I certainly have a lot of confidence, but also, right,
like, I want to point out, this isn't a sexist thing.
When Carl's talking about the 6am-ers at 10 o'clock, right,
this is not a female thing.
This happens with men as well, okay?
Oh, yeah.
They're very keen for attention,
and because they're the 6am-ers,
they're not used to getting any.
What time are you? I'm a 6am-er as well i'm grim as well okay right i hear about quarter past four so
if you give it like when lauren's like she turned around and like oh there's there's adam with this
girl what would happen is sometimes especially you know when girls just want to meet
someone and go home with them it doesn't take long when you're hammered to go from there's no like
hey can i buy you a drink it's just like you and she's like yeah yeah exactly that's what i'm saying
so that's why it's easy to miss the start of it so what's probably happening
there's no there's not like
a protracted
caught in like
Taylor's
oldest time
oh my goodness
me
Adam's in the
dance of courtship
so
I think I just
turned around
and gone
hey
that's
that's Geordie
love
you've just got to
produce
how
and then you're away and she's gone That's Geordie, love Pretty much You've just got to produce How?
And then you're away And she's gone
Oog
Oog oog
And then we just
melded together
I've seen this
Do you like when Atom
shows you like birds
doing the dance
I've seen this so many times
Like the road
Which birds?
Two big fucking emus yeah
so I think
I've done that
and then Lauren's turned round
and me and I
oh there
the way you're making it out is
do you know when
New Zealand rugby team are playing
and they start doing the hacker
that literally sounds like
you and this big lass
in a fucking...
Amazing.
Stand back.
It's mesmerising.
Everyone, everyone, stand back.
I've seen it before.
Honestly, you'll tell your kids about this.
Stand back for health and safety reasons.
Come on.
Give them space.
Fuck, if they fall onto you, you're going to lose a limb
Or a dick
I don't know which one's worse
I'm going to get an erection back
Taylor's oldest time.
Move the table, you little stubbit.
This one's caught fire, hasn't it?
No.
So, all I remember about it really
was that it was like furious.
Oh, it was aggressive.
It was like, do you know like, have you ever seen like a tornado pick a car up
it was like that i just got sucked into this absolute she was a unit wasn't she
it was like she just picked me up like in my head we were just bouncing around the room from corner
to corner table to table.
Like a horny fucking pinball.
I'm not making this up, though, am I?
Like, we'd look there and he'd be there.
Because we're trying to keep a...
Good friends, good friends.
We're like, keep an eye on him.
And then we'd look again and he's gone.
We're like, how's he fucking upstairs?
He's floated.
Just fucking tumbling around.
Doing judo rolls while necking someone
and then we're clocked
like she had his hands
in your pants
but it was so aggressive
I was like
has she lost a pound
she's trying to get a trolley
but then I think
the bouncer
must have clocked you
because they got
thrown out
but then like five minutes later they were back and we were like pussies do have nine lives this is amazing Bones have must have clocked years. They got thrown out.
But then like five minutes later,
they were back and we were like,
pussies do have nine lives.
This is amazing.
I don't know how he has got back in.
Well, I sort of remember that.
So,
we got thrown out because you're not allowed to get wanked off on the dance floor.
Not in the rules.
Jesus Christ, Newcastle has changed.
It's just like it's frowned upon.
Is it?
Right.
I think what happened was,
when they threw us out,
oh God,
the doorman was like,
I can't let you back in.
I can't let you back in.
I got told to throw you out.
And I think he was just hinting like,
just go away
and come back
yeah yeah
so we did
and they just
like the other doorman
like I just gave him
like a tenner or something
to get back in
yeah
like a little
another little
did she get it out for you
it was in pound coins
it took a while
but erm
we got thrown out again
I think
yeah I swear you got thrown out at least
three times
like when someone dies in a video game
and I was like he's back
how did you, why didn't you just go and bang this girl
I did in the end
why did you keep coming back
but at the end of the night we couldn't find him
and I didn't know if Adam would remember my address and I was like have I given him my address so we were like outside and we were like Adam yn dod yn ôl ond ar ddiwedd y nos doeddwn ni ddim yn gallu'i gael ac doeddwn i ddim yn gwybod a oedd Adam yn cofio fy
adrwydd a roeddwn i'n dweud a oeddwn i wedi rhoi fy adrwydd i nhw felly roedden ni'n bodoli fel arall roeddem ni'n
bodoli fel Adam Adam doeddwn ni'n gallu ei gael roeddem ni wedi cwrdd â'r cyflawniadau oherwydd roeddwn i'n meddwl bod hynny'n
y lle y gallech chi fod felly beth sy'n digwydd oedd y tro diwethaf rydyn ni wedi cael ei roi allan
enough's enough enough's enough
she was like
and I was like
I don't live in Newcastle
so we'll have to go to yours
and she was like
and that was like
I was like
okay well if we can't go to
if we can't go to yours
yeah
we can't go anywhere
and she just dragged me
behind the
like a bush
but the bush was right
outside the club
so we probably would have
been stood next to your bush just like Adam and then it was like 20 yards away we gave up and went home
and then eventually and i stayed up for a bit and adam started ringing this and i was like
where were you and adam just said three words and i still remember them you just went in the bush
as if to be like oh of course silly me i Spice a pun jab in case you were getting chips.
No, you were in the bush, of course.
Tale as old as time.
And I dropped her off in a taxi because I'm a gentleman.
Yeah.
What happened in the bush?
Can we leave something to the imagination?
He fucking ruined a squirrel's evening
put me right off
me fucking nuts
you know when you
couldn't keep your attention
on that story
a couple of weeks ago
on the Patreon
I felt like
there was a bit of me a bit annoyed like come on man keep your attention on that story a couple of weeks ago on the Patreon. I felt like there was a bit of me,
a bit annoyed, like, come on, man, keep your focus.
And then I thought, I bet that story
better be good enough.
Oh, spectacular.
Touché, fella.
Touché.
To the unit, to the squirrel, to the bush,
to the New Zealand rugby team,
that was absolutely worth the wait.
This is how small Newcastle is.
We must have been out with someone from my work
because I remember he, one of the lads been out with someone from my work because I remember
he
one of the lads
we were out with
from my work
texted us a few weeks later
and he was just like
I found her

I absolutely love the pod.
Keep up the good work.
And keep getting in trouble from the wife.
One, for binge listening to it.
And two, for saying,
Oh, Jesus, 50 times a day.
Oh, Jesus.
The kids keep saying...
What?
The kids grasp me up for saying it too,
the fucking rats.
I've just burped into the mic.
Adam looks in agony.
What's up, mate?
It's really hurt you telling that story, hasn't it?
I feel like I've opened a wound.
I certainly did that night.
Hey, Fanny.
Come on, carry on.
Adam, that was, that goal was open
and you should have just walked away from the goal.
Gerard!
Not going to lie, though,
there was a couple of years later
when I was living in London
when we were doing English Comedian
and Simon Lomas,
lovely Simon Lomas,
was already staying at my house and then you kind
of just rang us in the afternoon and were like i'm staying too and i was like okay fair enough
and then i was with the lad who i've just broke up with at the time and we went back to the
house after the gig and you and simon had disappeared and generally got a point i was
like he's done it again oh no he's done it again but this time he's led lomas astray
and i kept getting messages i didn't i kept getting messages off simon he was like i'm
really sorry lauren i'm trying to get him to come home but he just won't and i was like it's fine
simon and then he was like he's now insisting we get crisps and i was like you go get your crisps
it's fine i look i am a bit of a night once i've had've had a drink you've told me that story
you told me that story when we were gigging away once
and you came up and got this is like a few years
ago and I've heard that story
I've heard that story
when I've had a drink I won't go home
if I've had a certain amount
like I won't leave
I'm having fun and if I go home
the fun ends and I don't want the fun to end
so I'm not going home.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Look, Tom's nodding.
Yes, Tom.
He's on board.
I want to see him.
I'd love to see what Tom the intern
wouldn't nod at.
The thing is about euthanasia.
Euthanasia should be legal.
Left turn.
It should.
If you want to die, the government shouldn't be allowed to say you can't
yeah it's easy killing your nana than killing a dog say
it's much harder putting a dog down than it is your nana
yeah
yeah because dogs are just more difficult and more important
yeah
yeah cool
well your nan's mush by the time she gets to that point isn't she
mush
mush
anyway let's get back to this
your nan's mush anyway anyway we've been together 14 years married five she has this horrible habit of buying things in the house that we're not allowed to use one of them just for show idiots
i've got cushions i can't sit on i've got candles i can't light towels in the bathroom that can't
be touched and if we do row i have to sleep on the couch it's fucking mental i don't get it please
have a word her name is jemma smith from hull you know a lot of the emails and please don't use my
real name could you keep me anonymous?
We've recently had to edit out names.
Someone commented on the YouTube,
like, are we editing our names?
It's because I started reading something
and at the end of the email went,
please keep my name anonymous.
We were like, fuck.
This guy's like, here is my wife's full name.
Postcode.
This is her postcode.
Place of work.
P.S. Sometimes the arguments that get that bad,
I have to secretly go to the bathroom
and wipe my willy on one of the towels
that's how you come back
so basically she buys shit for the house
just for show
and he fucking hates her
she's buying shit
it makes sense because
lads left to their own devices
and this is a generalisation
it'll be a bit basic, it'll look a bit glum
it'll look a bit functional it will look a bit glum it'll look a bit
functional so i get why partners traditionally wives girlfriends will go can we make it look nice
but it there's there's a line where it's like i want to i want it to look like a show home
i want it to look like instagram and you're not allowed to fucking sit on it when it's like that
is literally what it's for here's the thing right here's my opinion if i may yeah well you you always
do the cushions and the candle i get i get it the data look nice right right you want a cushion we
can't sit on okay so so it's saying instead when you sit down you move that's annoying isn't it
candles that can't be lit.
I don't agree with it.
I wouldn't do it.
But you understand it.
But I get it.
You're showing empathy.
Yeah.
The towels, she can go fuck herself.
Towels are functional only.
No one ever walks into a bathroom and goes,
ooh, that towel looks lovely.
Bollocks.
What about bed cushions?
I've got some decorative bed cushions now.
Because I'm now trying to woo the ladies. So I bring them in and I'm like, I've got some decorative bed cushions now. Because I'm now trying to woo the ladies.
So I bring them in and I'm like,
I've got a throw,
and the throw matches the cushions.
Oh, that's it.
Knickers off.
I'm pregnant.
Oh, no.
It's happened again.
What's your feelings, Lauren?
I can get the cat,
because to me, a candle,
even if it's not lit, still smells
nice. We've literally got one.
Here's one we made earlier.
But the towels aren't with you.
Towels aren't decorative.
That would wind me up so much. My mum,
in the living room, we've got a little bin in the
living room, and if she's just emptied the bin, you're not
allowed to put anything in the bin. That pisses me off.
I'm like, it's a bin. It's its very purpose.
And she's like, well, I've just emptied it. it i'm like so what's the window of time between bin being
emptied when i'm allowed to put rubbish back in the bin again well how would you feel if i came
around to your house and put rubbish in your bin i'd be like good it's not on the fucking floor
then is it you know what i want to have a word with side note and it's on point you know when
you're like walking down the street right if you're walking down the street and you've got
like this yeah and you're done with it yeah you walk if you're walking down the street and you've got like this yeah
and you're done with it
yeah
and you walk past
someone's path
and their bin is right
near the end of the path
yeah
would you put it in
would you lift it up
and put it in
because I would
I would
yeah
I can understand
yeah I know what's
going to happen
someone's going to
come out and go
don't use my bin
yeah
it's better in their
bin than on the road
yeah
exactly
I would try and
put it in the right bin
go on
I would so I wouldn't do it I'd try and put it in the right bin. Go on. I would...
So I wouldn't do it.
I'd try and put it in the right bin.
I'd try and put it in the recycling.
Yeah, totally.
Because just putting it in there general waste
when it's recycling is annoying.
Totally.
All right, okay.
Totally.
The annoying thing is probably like,
don't put like a PC in there
if they haven't got the space.
No, they've my own.
I've put a packet of crisps in before.
In the bin bin,
which is where they go.
You put the crisps in the bin bin.
And you're like, don't use me bin.
You're like, why?
What it's for?
Is this going to take up too much space?
This fucking spaceless packet of crisps.
No, because you'll go around telling everyone that you've done it.
And then everyone's going to be like, oh yeah, you want to get rid of your crisp packet?
Go around to number 29.
Yeah, it's bullshit.
You're all gimps.
What about when people have got a skip outside
the house that's my favorite we had a woman just around the corner from us rented a skip and stood
near it for a lot of the day she got super competitive she covered it with tarpaulin
and then she was stood at one point as we went to drop etter off at nursery and she was stood
having an argument with her daughter and she was holding a coffee cup. Like, she was like, so bastard!
And someone's just gone, oh, fuck it, I'll just pop it in there.
And it's obviously messed with all her OCD and all her mental.
It was just, it was a fucking eight-ton skip,
and she had this, like, it was just, oh, she was so fuming.
Must be annoying, though, if you're hired a skip.
Let it go.
If you're hired a skip,
and, like, you've got exactly eight tonnes worth of stuff to go in
and then someone fucking fucks your ratio up
by lashing a coffee cup in.
Must be annoying.
I feel for her.
She's such a twat when you play devil's advocate.
Yeah, what's your towel situation though with decorative?
Because we had a question way back about uh using the same towel
like a couple just used the same towel see how we used to do it was we had different color towels
but when all my stuff came back i told him he could keep the towels and the christmas tree
which is the most bleak combination of like because you know they're like the shared things
we'd brought together and i was like i keep the titles keep the Christmas tree feeling generous
have a bath
put the tree up
but I took the
decorations so
my ex texted me
the other day
and asked if she
could have the
Christmas tree back
I've said yeah
you should have
fucking broken
for the dog
if I get to do
one walk a week
one walk a week
yes
not in your
fucking tree do you
you've given up
your leverage
you've given up
your leverage
though haven't you
has she got the tree already?
No.
That's it.
Still got it.
Hold the tree over.
I haven't even told her I've found it yet.
I think separate towels is...
Never mind display.
I like a separate towel.
You're a bit worried about OCD and that, aren't you?
I don't think anyone should have to use the towel that I've used.
I've seen how boys get dried after the shower,
and it's a full-on floss in the arse isn't it?
You can't do that. I hate people who
do that because like I will use it. I'll
use a towel for like two, three, four
days. Like
three or four showers. You don't use a towel. You don't fresh
towel every shower do you? You keep it on.
Oh god no. You keep it for a few days.
You're kind of a member of the royal family are you?
Do you bring your own towel?
Jesus. You can't use a towel if you've fucking rummaged it up your fucking batty crease i've started uh hair drying my balls
little treat you know what that can make it infertile i'm not cooking my balls
not like fucking chestnuts open and open over an open fire i just in the winter
when does your gooch get to breathe so i just i just give it a little bit of a i've got a little
travel uh hair dryer that laura doesn't need because we're going nowhere lockdown recycling
and i just i squat a little bit and i give myself a nice little aeration and sometimes i wonder what
my dick what my dick's thinking as it just hits like have you used a hairdryer down there i don't want a hot fanny no next question is there
an ideal temperature for your genitals to be at 38.6 degrees is this let me just check
yeah i am yeah i think i think that is but I think it's more
for men like
if your balls get too hot
you're fucking done out here
I just feel like
just couldn't get a little
just need a bit of air to it
that's how
that's how I'm feeling
I wear cycling shorts a lot
that sounds like such a
you need air to them
but doesn't that mean
you want them cooling
no I just
just I just wanted
you know sometimes
when you come out
this is my point
this might be a
like you come out of the shower you give my point. This might be a... You come out of the shower, you give yourself a dry,
and sometimes it feels like you've not completely dried,
and I just like a little bit of air.
A little bit of air dry.
No, I don't release.
Carl, do you ever hair dry your body, including your balls?
No.
No.
Can I...
My hair takes long enough
so by the time I've done it
my balls are dry
yeah
I think that might be the problem
you've got to wear
you've got
I'm now seeing a major problem
because I have no hair
anywhere else
so I can be
out of the shower
and dressed
in about
120 seconds
so yeah
that might be the problem.
It's very fast moving.
I need it accelerated.
Can, and I know we don't set homework,
but for the next episode,
can you just try hair drying your balls?
No, I don't want them to overheat
and I'll lose all my bubbles.
Just try.
There's nothing bad about it.
You can overheat them.
Don't do it in the microwave.
Dan told me to fucking dry me balls.
Beep, boop, beep, beep.
I'll put it on the cold setting.
I've got one of those air dryers that has a cold setting.
See how it feels.
It's not going to feel bad.
Anything blowing on your balls is good news, isn't it?
I've got a question.
Yeah?
Are we not ending on a half a word?
Fucking controversial.
If your brain was a hard drive and it was nearly full,
what memories would you delete?
I feel like it is.
I think he's just told the story that he would
literally like control alt delete on that whole fucking night out yeah i i think i find it mad
that like you know i'll forget important stuff like you've been asking me to bring in my passport
and a utility bill for like three weeks right and i can't remember to do that but i can still
remember the phone number we had when I was 7
why am I keeping that?
why is it holding on?
absolutely
because there must be a reason
that my brain's holding on to that number
holding on to it
yeah the telephone
I know the telephone number from my childhood
what is that?
some of the
what is it?
01772743025
I don't know why do I know it
why do I even need to know it?
up until last year
I knew Babelow's number
what's Babelow's knew Babelow's number.
It was Babelow's.
Babelow's was the pizza place that me and Carl used to order.
282.
2912.
282, 2912.
So do I. You used to get a 10-inch pizza with any two toppings,
a portion of fries, and any can you wanted for £3.50.
Fuck off!
Yeah, we used to fuck off.
Mate, that makes you sound as old as me.
You used to be 89 pence for 20 LNB.
But you're looking like seven and eight quid for that now.
How can you get that much food?
Quality.
We used to have little nights in.
Have a Babelos night.
Loads of rum.
Loads of rum.
FIFA.
Babelos.
Can I just say,
what's changed?
The price.
You literally told us things are different nowadays.
Yeah, pay bloody double that.
And drink better rum.
Oh, God.
Guys, is that a POD?
I think we've had a podcast.
Have you got anything you want to plug, Lauren?
Oh, fuck all
christmas dinners are on at morrison's can you have a christmas dinner in the cafe wait we're
short at the minute because of the restrictions but christmas dinners are on yeah on christmas
day we're shut christmas day but christmas even boxing i think they're on the like third of
january oh i thought you meant like you would they were opening like the pubs on christmas days that'd be fucking bleak that would be
what are you doing for christmas this year taking me nan to the morrison's cafe oh jesus
i love the morrison's cafe though it's right in there my daughter used to go there with me nan
all the time my nan lived in bellevue in liverpool there's a morrison's next to the shopping center
and it was that was where we spent our saturdays and my mum taxi to me nan's go to Morrison's
then me grandad
had a little workshop
in the attic
and we'd go up there
and we'd make something
nearly made a robot
to go on robot wars
at one point
yeah
and in the end
he gave up
so I just put a
fucking cardboard box
and stuck a knife through it
and put it on a
remote control car
yeah
so fuck a lot
yeah
well that was a really
nice family
childhood memory.
And towards the end, it went all fucking weird, didn't it?
And my grandad was upstairs.
Yeah.
They're both dead now.
Dead and gone.
In the ground.
Okay, well, this one's for them.
Anything you want to plug?
Just the death of your grandparents.
Humour's on Tuesday.
If anyone wants to come and pay them
and the uh the wake is in the morrison's cafe you know right my grandma died during lockdown
she died in october and she was living with me auntie she died in october last month last month
i wasn't locked down i mean i know that's not the point
jesus you're in the weeds here shut up lauren you idiot i wasn't a lockdown anyway
sorry lauren tell us about your loss with me auntie and uh we obviously were like we went
around to me auntie so sort of like after i make sure she was all right and me auntie just like
completely solemnly went i've had to tell the dog we were like what do you mean you've had to
tell the dog and she was like well the dog keeps looking for your grandma so i've had to tell the dog we were like what do you mean you've had to tell the dog
and she was like well the dog keeps looking for your grandma so i've had to say she's not coming
back i was like i don't think the dog understands that's not yeah because it's that's that's why
it's difficult having a dog you've got to explain grief to the dog that's why it's easier to have
dogs than humans do you not think it's really sad with dogs though like my dog mini has got
fucking no idea where I've gone.
Isn't that sad?
Like an absent father, anyway.
Isn't that sad?
She'd be like, where's my dog?
The dad who goes for a pack of cigs and doesn't come back.
She's got no idea.
You can't explain to a dog, oh, you know, sometimes people drift apart.
No.
You know?
She feels as emotionally attached to you as she does the tin opener.
No, she doesn't.
You fucking absolute gobshite.
My dog loves me more than your daughter loves you. You've been opener that opens her boot. No, she doesn't. You fucking absolute gobshite. My dog loves me more
than your daughter loves you. You've been
replaced by a utensil. No.
I reckon Minnie loves me more than Etta loves you.
I do.
I reckon. I reckon. I'll tell you what we should do.
I'll speak to my ex, right?
And we'll meet in the same car park,
right? And you let Etta
run to you, and you let Minnie run to me,
and whoever gets there first
loves your person more
in a car park
that sounds really
it's locked out
horrific
what we'll do is
we'll do a test of loyalty
between child and dog
in a car park
fucking that sounds a bit
robot wars
I tell you what
and when you're older
and when Etta's looking after me
we'll see what Minnie's doing
for you
in our bed
well she's been taken away
from me
