Oh, jeez.
Are you a Pepsi or a Coke, man?
Can't be doing Pepsi.
No.
Well, I drink the old diets unless it's fucking holiday and I'm treating myself to full sugar.
Yeah, I'm normally the same, but we are out of Diet Coke,
so I'm drinking the Pepsi that I brought to mix with my rum,
because I can't have Diet Coke with alcohol.
It just ruins it.
It's pretty fucking pointless, that, isn't it?
No, I prefer Diet Coke to Diet Pepsi.
I do, but I prefer Pepsi to Coke,
but I also prefer Coke Zero and the whole Coke Zero range
to Pepsi Max and the Pepsi Max range.
Oh, Pepsi Max is weird, isn't it?
It tastes more of the sweetener than anything.
Yeah, it just tastes fake.
Yeah, but on holiday, ooh, get me a full sugar beverage.
Also, what I love on holiday is, like, Fanta Limon.
From, like, a glass bottle in Greece, you're like, ooh.
Holiday Fanta's. Holiday crisps. Oh, get me some Lay's. from like a glass bottle in Greece you're like holiday fantas
holiday crisps
get me some lays
the only time I eat
fucking ruffles
when I'm off the fucking
off the island
I absolutely
love foreign crisps
do you know that reference fiat 500 twitter
no
fiat 500 twitter is like
you know all like the young girls with like lips and they're just like i just need to be in the
cinema with a tango ice blast like those girls well they they do exactly what you're i just need
to be on a beach somewhere with a pack of lays and a phantom lemon i want me Holiday Fanta's. Oh, yes. They all drive Fiat 500s and cream Mini Coopers with eyelashes on them.
I know that I literally, I think I live next door to one.
I, yeah, I don't feel like I identify with that group of people
apart from in the appreciation of foreign pop.
Can you imagine you on holiday with the girls?
A load of Fiat 500 Twitters,
then all in the Fiat 500s and Volkswagen Beetles
with fucking fake tits and a bikini
and you turn up in your fucking Volvo
with your fucking Muslim cap on from last week.
2020 though, I can be anything I want to be now.
What do you want to be?
A 22-year-old single girl called Natalie.
That's what I was thinking i was
doing how dare you stop me living my reality it's my truth i need my truth soon card and
show and yesterday yeah and uh left down the gears and um obviously when you women pay less
don't they yeah and like on the thing you can choose whether you're a man or a woman if i put woman yeah and just tell them i'm a woman yeah can they argue with me no they can't
so i like it will i pay less because you identify as a woman when getting cars insured yeah yeah
right the thing is technically based on the current set of at least social norms i don't know whether it's written into
law yet. I think that's a part
of a fight for the trans community
but I think you could argue
in court that it's up to you
because they've asked you for your gender, not
your sex.
So yeah, you could say I'm a woman and
if next week there's something cheaper as a man
and you decide you're a man
they could just go, well you said you're a woman, can go yeah well i'm fluid i'm gender fluid gender fluid
especially when it makes me savings yeah so i'm very like non-binary when it comes to like
norwich union and aviva that's where i really find that i don't think the trans community would
appreciate i'm not being flippant by the way way. I'm just... Straight white men just going,
well, you know, they've fought for all this justice,
but I want fucking 200 quid off me car insurance.
So I'll say what I'm like,
but anyone can be anything you want to be.
I want to be a 55-year-old divorcee called Barbara
and pay 22 quid a year on car insurance.
It's my truth.
I identify as someone who lives in a really safe neighborhood
exactly yeah i identify i identify my car as a one litre fiesta it doesn't matter that it's a
fucking yeah no hang on my car identifies i think people who are fighting for gender politics aren't
gonna be like do you know what if you're a n Micra, you can be a fucking Pontiac Firebird.
If you want, you can be any car you want to be
and see how a World Rally Championship goes.
Yeah, no, I don't think it goes that far.
But one day it will.
That's where we're going.
There'll be a time in the future where you'll get pulled over
and the police will go, you got insurance?
You go, I don't need an insurance.
This is a fucking skateboard.
And they're like, no, it isn't.
Like, define skateboard.
I'm a ghost.
I identify as a ghost.
I'm just going to float away here, lad.
Yeah, I like the idea
that you could just be whatever you wanted to be
for any specific set of circumstances.
Like if you're busting for a piss
and there's just the women's toilets,
be like, I know I've got a dick and balls, but I was going to piss myself as a piss and there's just the women's toilets be like I know I've got a dick and balls
but
I was going to piss myself
as a man out there
well that's
that's an argument
against the trans community
isn't it
that's like a big thing
is like a lot of them go
no no
you can't let
people just decide
what bathroom they want to use
because what's going to happen
here
is men
are going to say the women
go in the women's toilets
and then just start
fucking wanking at them
you can't be doing that you can't be letting fucking Jeff and women go in the women's toilet and then just start fucking wanking at them. You can't be doing that.
You can't be letting fucking Jeff and the
boys in the girls' toilets. There's going to be
cum all over the minutes.
Yeah. Is that the whole reason for it
to be shut down? That is genuinely
though. We have to live with pervy
wankers in our bathroom. That's your
fucking fault. He's got a dick.
You've got a dick. Like there's weirdos in
every bathroom but I I suppose, like, girls, like, young girls go into those bathrooms.
So I could see why that sort of, like, touchy right wing, like...
Well, it's not necessarily a touchy right wing thing.
There's a group of feminists called TERFs, T-E-R-F,
which is a trans-exclusionary radical feminist.
Is this where J.K. Rowling's been banging a drum?
Or she's been accused of being part of that?
Sort of.
So what they are is people who are like,
look, you can decide if you want to decide you're a woman,
but we don't have to accept that you are,
and you're not allowed to use our bathroom
because we don't feel safe,
because you could just be a man
pretending you identify as a woman just so you can come in and see our fannies.
Right.
Yeah.
That's what those people.
And then there's a big split in the feminist movement because a lot of feminists are like, no, everyone who's a woman or claims to be a woman or identifies as a woman should be allowed say that they're a woman, and we should welcome them as we welcome all women.
And then the TERFs are like,
absolutely fucking not.
These are men who've never suffered
the lack of privilege that we have as women.
They've gone through their whole life with privilege,
and now they've decided,
no, I want to be able to use whatever bathroom I want,
and fuck men.
So, if you're opening a venue now and you want it to be
2020 you'd have to have a women's bathroom for everyone who's like listen i feel like a woman
today i might not tomorrow yeah and then you've got to have a women's bathroom that's for like
women who are like fuck off yeah i've been there i went to tammy girl i've done the start of bra
thing i've been through it you've not been through it
and then what
another
like a
like a unisex bathroom
yeah
and then
what is there any more
variations of women
pissed off about pissing
and then a disabled
and then a bloke's
could we like
we'll just get our dick out
anyway to be honest
yeah
do it in a fucking bushy
outside if needs be
just don't
trigger me
do you feel triggered
do you reckon it'll go to sport what Do you reckon it'll go to sport?
What? Do you reckon it'll go to sport?
Well, it has gone to sport, hasn't it?
Yeah. Caster Semenya.
No, Caster Semenya's a woman.
That's a woman?
She's just a bit butch. She's not trans.
Do you know her name is an anagram of
Yes, a secret man.
He's not even messing.
If you're a fucking Illuminati
if
I'm not a fucking
conspiracist
however
Kastasamania is
she's just got
she's just
she's got higher testosterone
than usual
hasn't she got
isn't she a hermaphrodite
no
I think that was a rumour
yeah she had to
I don't think that was
I think she had to prove it
in like a
they had to have
an Olympic committee
check under the frock.
Yeah.
That is...
That feels like a low point, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Get your clit out.
For the Olympic committee.
And they've been involved in some fucking dodgy fucking low points.
Like, okay, we have Dr. Sebastian Fritzl from the IOC.
And I cast a...
Oh!
My God!
Okay, you're okay.
You said it's actually gone to sport.
There's men playing women's sports with women.
I, um...
There was arguments about it
because there was someone who was born male
who transitioned and became a woman,
wanted to compete against other women in the UFC.
And Dana White in the UFC went, no.ana white went no yeah joe rogan's
weighed in on this yeah and he's now like has been called all sorts of like alt-right and
like anti-trans hasn't he because he weighed in and went listen i'm he's pretty liberal
and then he just goes but i don't think if you've been bored with them shoulders you should be
allowed to beat the fuck out of...
Bill Bear had a routine of us, didn't he?
He was like, forgive me.
He's like, maybe just I'm an old guy, I have no idea,
but that is a dickless dude beating the shit out of a woman.
Oh, gee.
It's such a complicated debate
that none of us really know enough to properly weigh in on.
But it does seem a little bit of an advantage doesn't it to
have grown as a man grown as a male become an adult male got grown up without all that testosterone
the testosterone the the added muscle that that gives you and then gone i'm ranked there was i'm pretty sure there was a cyclist as well who was ranked like
275th in the world as a male as a man and then transitioned to be a woman and was like winning
races and i was like how's he how's she done it and it's like yeah do you reckon this and i also
didn't have to deal with the dick and balls on the on the seat in the way that's yeah yeah that's
a help in it so that's an extra fucking check and That's just getting in the way. That's a help innit. So that's an extra fucking
Do you reckon there's a benefit in doing the way round?
What? A woman becoming
Do you reckon there's any sport that's a benefit?
Ballet.
Not competitive. The sport of ballet.
Ballet is competitive. Friday night ballet!
Anything's competitive if you make it competitive.
No, I don't mean if you don't compete.
I can ballet better than you.
But has no one's ever done that? It's not a sport is it? Like ballet better than you. Yeah, but as no one's ever done that,
it's not a sport, is it?
Like, yeah, it is.
If it's competitive, no one's ever been like,
these two ballet dancers face off in the ballet octagon.
That is probably the only time I'd watch ballet,
is if it was competitive.
I can't really watch anything
unless someone really wants to fucking win.
Do you know what I mean?
Right.
Yeah.
It's not entertaining to me
if there's not a competition involved.
I'm too competitive. Right. Yeah. yeah well any of the arts any you like competitive theater
yeah fucking early bashed out that monologue the last guy was shit slam poetry slam poetry
rap battles oh yeah yeah everything's best like i can watch it without competition but it's
improved with competition there's another element of the entertainment so the royal ballet you're looking to increase your coffers for 2021
yeah competitive absolutely yeah competitive coronation street
oh dear here we go
come on get it over and done with for today
oh god how how did he get us to there
I was like
I think we're pretty
I think we might be
Kevin Webster free
competitive Kevin Webster
yeah it's
slightly
does feel slightly dodgy
but
the sport thing is
is absolutely
it's very easy
I always worry
in this situation
like
how are you going to look
back in 20 years? And were you just a bit behind the time on the thinking? Like there's certain
things that even recently I look back five, 10 years and you go, yeah, I was pretty like,
well, what are they on about? And now I've updated my, my sort of like, you know, I don't,
but on this one, like, it feels like you're not, I'm trying not to be anti-trans but at what point
do the women in that sport go
I've just got my head kicked in by someone that was called Jeff
three years ago
I mean
and they could be
they might not be like in the turf side of things
they might be really pro
Come in, use the toilet
Respect
You're right.
Fucking, don't do ground and power, love.
You stubble the nightmare.
At least shave the beard off, Shirley.
At least try.
Yeah, I think it's sort of how every conversation is at the minute,
both politically, socially, everything.
It's either you're here or there, it's sort of how every conversation is at the minute, both politically, socially, everything,
it's either you're here or there, and with almost everything in the world, the answer always lies in the middle, extreme sides of every argument are always, when you look at them, fucking stupid,
and the arguments of, are trans women women, the answer being either yes, in every single way,
women women the answer being either yes in every single way of course yes or no no they're not fuck them keep your dick like both of those things are fucking stupid and how those people identify
on the binary scale and on the you know the gender spectrum isn't as clear as like it's not like
light switch on light switch off it's like sexuality with gay or straight. It all works on that spectrum.
But people love, and we've said this way back,
everything on Twitter, none of the sort of middle ground
rises to the top in the trending
because it's way more retweetable to be like,
you fucking hell, it's ridiculous.
I don't think everyone should be allowed.
Those are the two extremes that bubble to the top. you're like, fucking hell, it's ridiculous. I just think everyone should be allowed.
Those are the two extremes that bubble to the top.
I think a problem is, for such a long time,
it's all surrounding the language around it, really,
because gender and sex, up until about two and a half years ago, the same thing to most people and to this day to
a lot of people they're the same thing if you were born with a dick you're a man you're born with a
fanny you're a woman that's been the thing for so medical for so long but doctors say you're a you've
got a fanny it's a fucking girl but because of that it's like to, to use the UFC as another example,
there's the men's competition and the women's competition.
If you want to fix it so that no one can argue,
turn it into the male competition and the female competition
because that's about born in sex then.
So you can be like, yeah, you were born male
and you've transitioned into a woman, but you're still male.
You can never change your sex.
You're a male.
And that means even though you've now got a vagina
and a pair of tits,
you've still got to fight Conor McGregor next Sunday.
Do you know what I mean?
Right.
That would, because then there's no arguments.
I think that would be a disadvantage.
It would.
I think Conor would punch in the tits.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, pop a stitch out.
Do you not think the women can do that as well?
I think any woman in the UFC has ever thought,
I'll just jab her in the fucking nipples.
Can you nipple twist in the UFC?
Is that allowed?
No, you can't tickle either.
Yeah.
I told you that, didn't I?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In related news, I'm having a child,
and I don't, you know,
I wouldn't want to identify their gender on their behalf.
What about its sex, though?
Its sex.
Yeah.
Did you find that out?
I mean, I saw a dick,
but we'd have to speak to the child in 18 years
because it might just be, yeah, we're having a boy.
You're having a boy!
We're having a boy!
Who will one day maybe decide to be male.
No, he is male.
Yeah.
He might decide to be a man.
Yeah. Yeah. Or he might decide to be a man yeah yeah or he might decide to be a fucking lob the dick off get in the tour de france go on go on lad no ball chafe up a
fucking mountain so i know you've got a daughter already but this is quite a laddie podcast of
time so having a boy means this could be the first official here to the Hathaway throne. Here? Here? Here? Here?
Here?

Here?
Here?
I will be doing it.
I'll be doing it in the Countess of Chester.
Can you keep it down, Lord Covid rules?
Fucking yes, mate.
So I need to have a boy now,
so that in like 18 years,
when we're ready to retire,
we're at billions of pounds from the Havre Word network.
Havre Word can carry on.
So we'll have your kid, my kid on the desk.
We'll have Carl's kid over there,
Finn's kid over there.
Havre Word seniors,
please let us like,
live from the old people's home.
That'd be amazing.
I mean, the audio is not great, you know,
because the fucking dentures keep rattling,
but it's still the original format.
You want to do Hathaway Juniors like Ice Club 70?
Yeah, that's what I want.
And then they can just grow up to become another band as well.
Yeah, but we take loads of the money.

court papers here

I wasn't talking like
I said that to her.
She said that to me.
Right, okay, good.
Jade, you've weed again.
How the fuck
could a woman
wee on the floor?
You'd have to have
a hell of a wonky flap there,
wouldn't you?
What? For a woman to wee on the floor you'd have to have a hell of a wonky flap there wouldn't you what for a woman to wee on the floor i think it's more about misjudging when you when you you you're gonna have to go in the toilet it's not like a hovering over and then missing by two
meters a wonky flap that's what uh the labia are for directing piss like have you ever piss have you ever gone bowling with a special kid
and they put the
inflatable things down the side
that's what flaps are for women's wee
oh it's going everywhere
but if you had a big enough flap and it was at an angle
you could have a wee out of it and it would come up like a fucking
water shoot
Jesus Christ
she's weeing in the bath
do you have a wee on the floor a little bit by accident, do you ever dribble a bit towards the end Jesus Christ You could though She's weeing in the bath Yeah
Do you ever wee on the floor
A little bit by accident
Do you ever dribble a bit
Towards the end
I get bored of weeing
And I'm like
Ah it must be done
I'm like
Oh no I wasn't
Fuck
On the floor
Are you doing it from a distance
Like sometimes
Do you ever get a little bit of dust
On your
On your japs eye or something
And you start weeing
And it sort of goes
And it does that thing of like
Just sends it off and you have to like readjust
Sometimes like
Have you ever had that?
I've had it but it doesn't happen
I've got a dusty dick
I've been married
A bit of jizz maybe like after you've just had sex
Lies, lies, no, come on
You haven't got a dry plug of jizz in your dick.
No, but like after you've just had sex,
sometimes you wee off at an angle, don't you?
Really?
When you merge lanes, innit?
Yeah.
What?
It's like merging lanes.
You've got two lanes in your dick,
the jizz and the piss.
But they come out at the end,
like bottlenecks, don't they?
So I'm having a son.
Yeah, sometimes after you've just had sex You go for a wee
And you think you're going
Because your dick strays
And it goes
Whoa
Off to the
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah that's what I'm talking about
It's really nice the wee after sex isn't it
When you have a piss after
You've bonked
You're like
Oh it's like
Extra enjoyment isn't it
Can be yeah
Yeah
Yeah
So we went into
Window of the womb In ellesmere port to
do a private gender reveal yeah and um went in and they're all really friendly because you're paying
you're used to nhs like nightingale come on love is fucking covid everywhere 17 people dead today
and then in window of the room like you're right i'm laura as well the funniest
thing i've ever heard and then you go in and there's three women um and my natural instinct
is to flirt just you know like to be a bit flirty and there is never a more inappropriate time
to flirt with women when you're getting a gender reveal scan on your massively pregnant
wife that's next to you when you say flirt because you say it's inappropriate but there's
there's levels of flirt and just being a bit funny and nice is can be flirting but were you like hey
what are you doing saturday like what what level of flirt are we talking like you've taken flirting
and added layers to it like that's like trying to get laid in it yeah it? Yeah. I just feel like, you know, when you're just,
you're being a bit flirty, you're being a bit fun and whatever,
and it just, you get in there and you're like,
okay, don't do any of that.
So I felt quite nervous and they put the, like,
they put the, like, jizzy stuff on Laura's tummy
and start doing the, so we've got...
What is that stuff?
Is it Vaseline?
Vaseline.
It's been a WD-40.
Fucking hell.
I can't get purchased on this tummy. I think it's KY Jelly. Is it Vaseline? Vaseline It's been a WD40 Fucking hell I can't get purchase on this tummy
I think it's KY Jelly

Yeah yeah yeah
I thought KY Jelly was like lube
I think it's got a
Well there's a lube isn't it
So they can move the thing around the belly without
I've just remembered something
I've just had a proper flashback and it's horrible
It's a bit lubey

now has to tell this story.
Because look,
there's no point. And I'll end up the story and he'll be
like, go on. I went in the
bathroom after my mum had been in the bath and there was
KY Jelly just on the radiator. Jesus
Christ.
When I was like,
it was like a few years after
How big was she she did she need to
lube the bathtub

to anyone
lube in the bath
it was in the bathroom right I don't know whether she I don't know I don't mention that to anyone. Lube in the bath. It was in the bathroom.
Right.
I don't know whether she,
I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe she had a really big poo
and she needed to like
butter the fucking lane up
before it came on.
I don't know whether
that's better or worse.
And when you've not got
KY jelly,
you use butter.
So what?
No, she was an adult woman.
She had needs.
My dad had gone.
Oh, fair play.
God, good God.
I don't think there's,
what are the other uses for KY jelly?
Not to call your mum like a bit of a...
I don't...
I'm just trying to defend her honour.
What does it look...
I've never seen it.
Is it like a see-through...
Is it something that's like jelly?
I didn't find like a bowl of jelly.
It was in the tube.
No, no, but...
It looked like...
It's just like clear gel, isn't it? It just looked like really fancy toothpaste to me because it It was in the tube. No, no, but it looked like... It's just like clear gel, isn't it?
It just looked like really fancy toothpaste to me
because it was just in a tube.
I was like, Mum, you've left your toothpaste.
She's like, it's not for me.
I'm fucking not, lad.
It's for me, rat.
Yeah.
I would never have told that on this
if I hadn't just had that Vietnam-style flashback.
Yeah.
Do you think it was for anything else?
I want it to be for something else.
Hair gel?
Hair gel.
Yeah, yeah.
My mum always had hair gel on.
Mum was a bit of a greaser.
Oh, my God.
I met a guy tonight.
There's something about Manny.
So we're in the gender suite where they're doing the thing.
And I just got a bit excited.
And they were like, they've got you on like a big screen
and obviously because I've done it before when I took when we went in there they're showing you a
little baby and you see a leg and then a head like oh isn't it cute I'm like it looks like a
fucking alien like they're because they're being paid they're very much like oh the baby's arm
like is it so I start thinking well I'm looking for a dick because you are aren't you
i've had a girl before and there's nothing to see they know what they're looking for but as a
fucking you know a tourist to the looking at baby scans i was like i'm basically looking for a dick
and i said it out loud i'm looking for a dick i went i'm looking for a penis and they were like
and i was like but because the woman laughed nervously i turned and i went but you are on
you that's the game you're looking for a willy and laura went stop saying willy and then held
my arm like she's trying to she literally has a belly out and she was like, he's just excited, which is code for shut the fuck up.
Because I did it.
I got too excited.
And there's like a little thin door
and there's like a waiting area with other people in.
And I'm there going, it's about seeing a willy.
You've got to see a penis.
It's a fucking cringy moment.
And then Big Beryl thought that was the banter of like,
oh, this dad obviously really wants a son and then big beryl thought that was the banter of like oh this dad obviously
really wants a son and then wouldn't stop fucking chipping in so i got bollocked by laura slyly like
he's excited shut the fuck up so i didn't say anything she was like oh god he mainly wants
some boy don't he he wants a boy and i don't i wasn't that bothered like i was happy either way
you actually sort of wanted a girl didn't you I was I was prep for a girl
because we've had a girl
and then you had you like
I'm just going to be
one of them dads
that's got girls
but it's pretty nice
it's exciting to

a name in mind

There's a lot of Jacks knocking about.

Yeah.
Do you know there's an app called Kinder?
Kinder.
That's like Tinder.
But for kids.
But for kids.
Swipe left if you're a nonce.
So you download it with your missus.
She's got Kinder as well.
You've got kinder
And then they just suggest names to you
And if you don't like it you swipe left
And if you like it you swipe right
And when you've got a match
So for baby names
It's not just showing your kids like do you want this one
It's not an adoption would you like to fuck a kid app
Jesus Christ
You said what tinder
For kids
You didn't say it's a baby name app Sorry Jesus Christ. You said, what, Tinder for kids? Yeah.
You didn't say, it's a baby name app.
Sorry.
You said it's like Tinder for kids.
I'm not paraphrasing.
That is the quote.
It's like Tinder for kids.
There's a four-year-old in eight miles away.
Oh, listen, I want to touch a kid, but I'm not driving.
Listen, I'm a paedophile, but I like local kids.
No, it's kids' names.
Kids' names.
Right, okay.
Good.
I love it when you look at me like this.
You're like, this life will never be mine,
and it will be one day.
It will be.
It's coming.
I want kids.
I do want kids.
A few years, you know.
Need to meet the right girl.
All that, you know. Or someone meet the right girl. All that.
You know?
Or someone who identifies as a girl.
No.
Oh, yeah.
I want a born-in one.
Adam, I've always loved you.
Yeah.
We can adopt.
Yeah.
It's just, yeah.
We could adopt, if not.
I think.
You too.
Even like 10 years.
Because I know how much Carl loves his missus
Raise a child on FIFA
Do you know if that ever goes down the pan
I know how much commitment
And effort
And time you've put into that relationship
You'd just
You'd be single forever I think
Probably
I think you'd just be like
Fuck this
If it didn't work out with her
It's not going to work out with anyone
That's how much he loves his girlfriend
And I feel like
For like Tax reasons or something We'd get married And we'd just adopt a load of kids out with anyone that's how much he loves his girlfriend and I feel like for like
tax reasons
or something
we'd get married
and we'd just adopt
a load of kids
and just form our own
five-a-side footy team
amazing
yes
we'll have a way
to sponsor the kit
we did it anyway
amazing
well I've got Jack
so if you have any boys
I've got a boxed Jack off
you're going to have to
think of your own names
we've got one
we need four more
Felicia
you've got a girl's name Fel You're going to have to think of your own names We've got one We need four more Felicia You've got a girl's name
Felicia
Yeah
Keep it on the pod
Yeah
You two having kids
What a fucking disaster
We'd be fucking boss dads
What do you mean?
Disaster
What a disaster
We'd be boss dads
Because you know what?
We know
What kids want
So we'd be like
Do you know what?
You don't want to go to school
Don't have to lad
You want to play FIFA?
Play FIFA
You want spaghetti for FIFA? Play FIFA.
You want spaghetti for breakfast?
Spaghetti for breakfast?
I'd let the kid choose its own destiny
instead of putting
societal pressure on it
and conforming to the norms.
Do you want to wear
You sound like
such a smackhead parent
like,
no, listen to me, mate.
Society tells them
they've not got to do
glue at 11
and go to school and that.
I don't believe in it.
I let destiny raise my kids.
I mean, three are dead and two are in care,
but that's destiny, innit?
No, but I feel like it's always the woman in the relationship
who's like, no, we need to put the kid in school
and you're a dickhead and don't be, like,
we're both mavericks.
We could raise the kid.
We are mavericks.
P.S.
I think you should do this speech at the adoption agency.
Oh, my God.
Listen, love.
Listen, love.
Yeah, we want five.
I'm not one of...
Who fucking wants one?
You don't want one.
You want five.
You can't play five aside.
We can't play one aside, dickhead.
And we're mavericks
me and Carl
we know what kids want
FIFA
spaghetti for breakfast
why are you closing
the door
don't lock the
fucking door
exactly
KY Jelly
see this is what he does
it's a heretic thing
this is what he does
all the time
he takes the piss
right
and then when it
happens
and it works
he'll be like
I'm sorry
because it happens
all the time
he's always like that'll be fucking stupid that don't be a dickhead and then it'll works, he'll be like, I'm sorry. Because it happens all the time.
He's always like, that'll be fucking stupid.
That don't be a dickhead.
And then it'll pan out.
It'll be sound.
And then he'll be like, do you know what?
I fucked up there.
You were right.
Can my kid play and go?
And we'll be like, it can be a sub.
Right.
Okay.
Well, I will get my apology ready.
Because what you've got to think of, right, is, oh, who wants one?
I want five.
Out there, sometimes, right, sometimes, very rare, but sometimes, and I will because what you've got to think of right oh who wants who wants one or one five out there
sometimes
right
sometimes
very rare
but sometimes
people get pregnant
with five babies
you have quintuplets
right
and that can be
too much pressure
and often
they'll give up
the quintuplets
because they'll be like
I only expected one kid
can't deal with it
right
because it's a newest
relationship
to be together
do they give away four
no
keep the best one.
Because you can't split them up.
Oh, right, right, right.
So they give up.
No, no, no, no.
He's obviously done the research.
So they give up.
I love it when his eyes,
his eyes, he's like alive.
He's alive.
They give up all.
He's alive with his own bullshit.
They give up all five.
I want it, whoa!
I'm not doing five!
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop!
Get out!
Exactly.
But then at the adoption agency,
they're ideally looking for someone
who will take all five.
Not easy.
Couples who've been together a few years
and have decided to adopt or whatever,
they don't want to take all five on.
It's hard.
Sometimes they get split up.
They give them all like a fifth of a medallion
hoping they come back together one day.
Is that how it happens?
How many animated films have you been watching recently?
But what they really want
is all five to go to one home
and be raised together
and that's where me and him can come in
yes
and we call them the power rangers
that'll be the names
do you know your inner relationship
if Serica's watching this
she's gonna be like
what
I thought we were gonna have babies
Serica will just be happy
that she's never gonna have to push a child out
she can keep all five exactly she could a child out. She can keep...
Or five.
Exactly.
She could live with us.
Seraka can come live with us.
I don't mind.
She can have her own room.
Having five kids.
Yeah.
Power rangers.
But not just five kids.
Five little fucking legends.
That's where the KY jelly comes in.
How big was your head at birth?
Maybe it was left over.
I was a cesarean, mate.
Were you? Fucking ask how cesarean mate were you
fucking lascow cesarean
chop her up
lube her up
get her out
I was an emergency cesarean
and then my little brother
was a planned cesarean
because I was an emergency
yeah
like they flapped it
because like I was fucking like
doing karate or something
and they were like
we need to get him out now
doing karate
in the womb
I was just like
fucking let me out lad
and they went
let's just cut him out
hey mate we've got to get him out he's a fucking ninja they the womb. I was just like, fucking let me out, lad. And they went, let's just cut him out.
Hey, mate,
we've got to get him out.
He's a fucking ninja.
They don't flap it.
They go through the belly.
Kirby!
Hey, come on! Come on!
Kirby!
Bah!
Nah!
Well.
Yeah?
Wasn't that a mystery
fucking tour
of a first section?
I honestly think me and Carl would be the best dads.
You think you are the best at a lot of things, though,
and you love him, and I don't know if it would be the best thing for the kids.
I genuinely don't see a problem.
I know it's not normal, and I know I was half taking the piss for a bit there,
but I don't see where
it could possibly go wrong
answers to
haveawordpod at gmail.com
having a kid with someone
you and Laura
will be together forever
you just will
you just know
it works
you said amazing
you support her
she supports you
you've got two kids

Not living in stables.
Horses.
Come on, mate!
Mate, we're never going to break up.
Finn, is the fire extinguisher around?
I'm on fire.
We're never going to break up.
If, like, you know, arguments in a relationship, you've seen how often me and him argue, up. Finn is the fire extinguisher around because I'm on fire. We're never going to break up.
You know arguments in a relationship.
You've seen how often
me and him argue and
as soon as the
argument's had it's
done innit.
There's no resentment
it's just over.
Don't need to talk
about it.
There's no grudges
held.
We'd be fucking
boss parents.
We'd never argue in
front of the kids.
We'd go in the garden
call each other to
come back in make
their tea let them have a game of FIFA play a bit of Kaplunk. Sounds like northern parenting in front of the kids. We'd go in the garden, call each other to come, come back in, make their tea, let them have a game of
FIFA, play a bit of Kaplunk. Sounds like
Northern parenting, actually. Kaplunk?
Kaplunk. Do you want to play Kaplunk with the kids?
No, I don't. I'd be
hard to play in Monopoly. Yeah, but you, like,
I'm just saying different, you can't play Monopoly every day.
Are you two actually getting into this?
Did you have your first, like, lover's tiff?
Like, hey, love, don't want to play
Kaplunk. I see my kids as more Monopoly. You've got to have a few options, though. Did you have your first, like, lover's tiff? Like, hey, love, I don't want to play Cup of Luck.
I see my kids as more monopoly.
You've got to have a few options, though.
You want to play Risk?
I'd like to play Risk with them.
Bit of Risk.
Bit of Cluedo.
Yeah.
Yeah?
Game Night at the fucking... What was that?
The Roglers?
The Roglers?
Yeah.
You don't need to double battle it,
because then they're Tory.
You can't be the Roglers.
You can't be the Roglers.
You're amalgamating it.
Yeah, you've got to
Rogler
the Roglers
Colin Adam Rogler

Like, several people tweeted us going, lads.
And I was like, this is a fake African newsreader.
And then you're like, I don't think it is.
That's real.
And what's really funny is the ones he mispronounces...
The ones he mispronounces are amazing.
But some of my favourite moments are when he pronounces them right,
but he seems, like, surprised that he nailed it.
And he goes, like...
Fulham!
Nil.
He calmed down.
Chelsea 4.
Sheffield United.
Sheffield United United Sheffield United
it's unbelievable
my favourite one
is Wolverhampton
Wanderers
and Tottenham
when he goes

primary mortgage

and then he's like
I don't know

He's not wearing

It's like he's going
to an awards night.
He's got tux on.
So maybe that's just
what our customs are over there.
You need to be more sensitive
to other cultures.
Fucking prick. Have a wig put. you need to be more sensitive to other cultures fucking prick have a woodpud
this is from Wes
this caught my eye
I want to see the state of our Wes
I wanted to see what you thought about bullying
and bullies as a whole
the general assumption is this is something that happens
on a school playground but the older I've got
the more I've witnessed this happen in the workplace whether this being groups or
individually taking the piss out of someone who is more vulnerable and not as strong socially
have you fellas dealt with these types of people have you ever come across who's tried to someone
who's tried to persistently take the piss in your life and how have you dealt with it or how would
you deal with it all the best for the future wes um the first time in a hundred episodes someone's asked about bullying yeah i think um
so i worked in mcdonald's when i was 16 until i was 18 and some of the staff in there were
fucking horrible like they really really i didn't even know you were doing it.
Like, they were really fucking horrible.
Like, I won't name any names,
but a couple of the women in there
were really, really fucking horrible
to one of the men who worked there.
How old were the...
What are we talking?
Who's the lead cunt, basically?
Who's being the shittiest?
They were all sorts of, like, late 20s, early 30s.
So they supervisors
and managers
yeah yeah yeah
and they would really
like
top down country
there was a fella
who worked there
who like
he was dead sound
I got on with him
really well
but they would like
the way they spoke to him
was just different
to everyone else
and they made him
feel like shit
and I was too young
and immature
to stand up
for him
like I don't really
take that.
If you've seen how I handle anyone speaking to me like shit,
like when that fucking car park woman,
I just, I don't, like, if someone who even is my boss.
I've seen it up front.
Like, I called you on something the other week,
and you fucking, what?
You, I think that's a respect thing as well, isn't it?
But it's also like, if you know your position in the world,
you can go, no, no, fuck off.
And you also get to go, hey, leave him the fuck alone.
But when you're 18, 19, you're all like, please like me.
I was like 16, 17.
Yeah, it's even harder.
Yeah, so, but like, I've had this problem.
It's sort of askew on this question, but I had this problem It's sort of
Askew on this question, but
I had a problem when I worked in nightclubs
When I was just a member of staff
Some managers
Loved me, and some of them hated me
And it's because
If a manager asked me to do something
I would ask why
Like I was not the type to be like
Well you're the manager, and I'm the slave
So whatever you say goes.
You're three and a half years older than me
and I've been working here for five years.
You earn 20 pence an hour more than I do.
So you know everything.
I'll call you Lord.
But like there's some in Barway,
there's this sort of long standing,
this is not really about bullying.
It's just a sort of sign up.
We will come back to that.
Like, there's a long-standing thing, isn't there?
Like, on a day when it's quiet as fuck,
the owner or, like, the head manager
will say to the bar manager,
don't have the staff just sat around doing nothing.
So they'll try and find jobs
that don't need to be doing...
Clean the bar.
No, not even that, because I get that.
But they'd be like,
well, you go to the cellar
and you know where the Corona is. I want that where the Peroni normally is, and put the Peroni where the Budweiser
is, just move it round a bit, because we sell more Peroni than Corona, so let's have that near the
door, and it's basically just, we're paying you £6.50 an hour, and there's no customers at the
minute, so go and just fucking do something, because I can't be arsed watching you stand there,
and I'd go, why, why are we doing that? Well, you need to be doing something.
I don't though, do I?
It just doesn't matter.
Like, I just, like, I'm not doing something for the sake of doing it.
Just, like, send me on a break.
I'll go on an hour break if you want.
I'd rather do that than go and do something that doesn't fucking matter.
So, some managers love that.
Because I'll go, why would I do that?
Do you want me to clean the bar?
I'll clean the bar.
The bar I could do with a clean.
I'll deep clean the fridge. But I'm not going want me to clean the bar? I'll clean the bar. The bar I could do with a clean. I'll deep clean the fridge,
but I'm not going to do something
that just doesn't fucking need to be done.
Do you think you'd have made a good soldier?
No, I couldn't be in the army.
Right, war.
Why?
That's why.
Hey, hey lad, war.
What does it go for?
Send us on a break.
Yeah, but there's like
the managers in
McDonald's
some of them
some of them were
amazing
but some of them
are just like
I'm the fucking
manager
I passed my
manager's exam
so you do what
the fuck I'm saying
because she probably
had a manager
they probably had
managers that were
assholes to them
and it doesn't
half pass the
baton of country
yeah
but like this
the fella I'm
talking about
they were just like,
I'm the manager,
so fucking do it or you get sacked.
Do you want to be sacked?
And he just needed the job.
So he would just,
he just took so much shit.
And he knew he wasn't going to stand up for himself.
I just like,
yeah,
I wish I was a bit older or a bit more confident at the time to be like,
fuck you talking to him like that for?
Cause if someone talks to me like shit,
I think genuinely, and this might be a self-serving bias, I'm dead, dead sound with people and I'm really respectful of people until they're not respectful of me. The
second I feel an inch of disrespect from someone, I snap. It's not like a gradual thing if you're a cunt to me i will i can be so
overwhelmingly aggressive if i feel like you're you're treating me like shit when i've done nothing
wrong then it's just done and i like i can just be like no fuck you fuck your whole family and
here's why you should go and kill yourself yeah but there's also like i mean sometimes socially
people like who are like that don't half make things fucking eggy but at the same time there's also like, I mean, sometimes socially, people who are like that don't half make things fucking eggy.
But at the same time, there's something quite transparent about it, innit?
Like, you know, like I'm not going to literally sit in this dressing room
and call you a cunt.
But I'm not keen on you, mate.
And if you press me on it, I'm going to tell you I'm not keen on you.
I'm not being like, all right, mate, how are the kids?
Hey, all right, yeah, I'll message you.
WhatsApp me about that thing. And inside going, I right, mate, how are the kids? Hey, all right, yeah, I'll message you. WhatsApp me about that thing.
And inside going, I fucking hate you, you shit.
Like people who behave like that are like, oh, fuck that.
Fuck this.
I'm not into that.
It's not always the easiest conversation or the easiest workplace,
but at least it's black and white.
Comedy is bad for that, isn't it?
Comedy.
Edinburgh.
I think there's an element of if you're going to be a pro at
anything get on with it and and understand that you're going to work with people who you don't
rate you don't particularly like they'll have done something to you but in the grand scheme of
things it's not love and war it's just gigs and fucking stage time just be nice play nice be a
professional but there is also and this is something i don't like about comedy
there is a country that i don't think is bad as it used to be because the jungler's circuit that
died off which was all like a very like laddy stag do sort of it was a quite a closed in circuit of
older comics who were entrenched in their in their circuit it was almost like a circuit within the circuit and they were horrible cunts some of those some of those dressing rooms and i think because
that died off because there's now more acts there's younger acts it's lessened there's some
nicer people about but i can spot some country in a dressing room and i'm like i don't know if i'd
prefer people to be a bit more honest and be like yeah yeah, not arsed. I'm not arsed about you
and I'm not going to pretend to be your friend.
Because when I see snakery and like, oh yeah, brilliant.
And then they wait till they leave the dressing room
and then they're like, fucking shit.
See, there's a difference.
And I've probably been guilty
of doing something similar myself.
But as I grow older, I look back and think,
it's a kind of bullying.
It's a country.
There's a difference. Can I say country anymore on this podcast apologies that'll be the last one
there's a difference between being professional polite
and being two faced
like there's comedians I don't like
who I have to work with
and when they come in a dressing room
name them
I have on Patreon
oh shit
but there's people who will walk in a dressing room
who I don't like or whatever, for whatever reason.
I've seen something they've done
or I don't like how they did whatever.
But I'm a professional and my career is a big part of my life.
So I'm not going to fucking throw it down the fucking bin
just because someone was a gobshite sometime.
So if they walk in, I'll be like...
We've done a weekend.
Yeah.
We've done a weekend together yeah last year where adam i'm not we're not going to
say the name but for the whole weekend i like this is the point before we did the podcast
this is how long ago it was it was before i started the radio pod and it was before it was
when you were trying to do like top five yeah and we recorded it in the
dressing in the dressing room so we were like so far but we were starting to get on really well at
that point where we were like and we we went for a bit of food that weekend we hung out and there
were so many points of the weekend in taxis and in in the dressing room where i looked over adam
and he was doing this face like yeah because someone was chatting bullshit
and you didn't want to be like
shut up you knob
but I knew
from everything about your body language
you wanted to go
shut up you knob
so that comic that you're talking about
I don't like
I think they're a miserable twat
who sucks the energy out of a dressing room
and you know what
sound a life who sucks the energy out of her dressing room. And you know what? Sound.
Her life.
His or her life.
No, wait.
That needs to be cut.
And you know what?
Their life is worse than mine. Because they're constantly unhappy, and I get it,
and maybe they're having a bad time, sound, I don't like them, but when they're in a dressing room,
I don't hate them, they've never really done anything personal to me, so I'm not going to be
like, oh, this miserable twat's here, so I'm just are you mate you're all right yeah yeah sound and i'll just i'll have a a baseline colleague level conversation with them
but i also won't be like should we go out for dinner tomorrow me and dan are going for food
you want to join us because i don't want them to be there do you know what i mean what i hate is
those people it was your face that weekend just like but if someone's being a gobshite to me or let's say
in that dressing room
that comic
was horrible to you
or started being a cunt
about something
I'm at the stage now
where I'll be like
I'll pull them up on it
do you know what I mean
if they
like if they said something
out of line to me
or to you
if like
they were like
they were like to you
oh this the way you did that on stage
didn't like that
they're like well
it's nothing to fucking do with you, is it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's comparing,
so if he wants to do crowd work like that,
it's fucking business.
It fucking works.
Shut the fuck up.
I've seen people in dressing rooms,
older school comics like you're talking about,
who are like,
no, it should be done this way.
And there's a divide in comedy
about what the compare should do.
Should the compare go out
and just do crowd work?
Should the compare go out
and do a bit of crowd work,
then do a bit of written material
so that the audience are ready for written material?
And different comics like different things.
And about 18 months ago now,
I was in a dressing room for the same chain of comedy clubs
that we were playing.
The Chuckle Huts.
There was an older school comic opening, right?
And a real solid compare.
And I was closing that night, right?
So it was after that one I'd done with you.
And you know why sort of thing.
We'll talk about it in a minute.
But I think this older school comic was like fuming
that someone 20 years their junior was closing
because they do get that.
I've heard that so many times.
But the compere went out and just did a load of material,
a load of crowd work and didn't do any material.
They ripped it, brought the opening act on,
and the opening act didn't have a very good gig.
It was fine, got away with it, but just not good enough.
And when there's an older school comic like that
who resents the fact that there's a younger guy
going on to close over them,
they feel like there's pressure to be like,
well, I've got to be fucking better than him
to show this comedy club
that they've got this the wrong way around.
And it just wasn't a gig that was going to go that way.
And they come off and went to the compere.
You need to be doing material
because you brought me on there
and they weren't ready for material.
You need to do material before you bring the opener on.
And the compere was like, because the compere was new to the club.
Oh, yeah.
And they were like, oh.
Throwing their weight around a bit.
Yeah, they went, yeah, well, tomorrow I'll do it that way.
And I went, no, you don't have to do that.
And the older school was like, what?
And I went, yeah, you don't have to do that.
Like, you're comparing.
You're entitled to host the show.
You ripped it.
You've done your job.
They were ready for the show.
It'll be fine.
It's like, you don't tell a compare how to do it.
They've been booked to compare.
You've been booked to do the set.
You can have a preference.
Yeah.
You can have a preference.
You don't tell people how to do it.
But you don't get to tell people how to do it.
No.
Those old Sue comics have come from an era where they,
it was almost like a bit of a cabal, wasn't it?
Like they had that junglers dressing room.
I remember doing my first open spot in junglers
and they were all mates and they were all late 30s, mid 40s.
And I was like, felt so young.
Hardly anyone made eye contact with me.
And it's, they get to just throw the weight around
and then things change.
Stand Up in the UK improves
that chain dies away
because it was a dog shit
version of comedy
and there's
some of them have just disappeared
and some of them
are now having to play ball
with newer
more interesting acts
and like
this is how you should do it
like
one of my least favourite things
in stand up
is comics telling
other comics how to do it
I have ideas
on how I like it done
I don't tell someone how to do it we have ideas on how i like it done i don't tell
someone yeah how to do it we've got mates who aren't it's not even a young old thing we've got
a mate who's obsessed with um when they're comparing that someone shouldn't do crowd work
in their set and they're like well i don't think you should because then it ruins my comparing
you're like once it's their stage time they can do what the fuck they want yeah you don't think you should, because then it ruins my comp power. And you're like, once it's their stage time,
they can do what the fuck they want.
You don't have to like it.
You just have to concentrate and see what's going on.
I'm sorry.
That's how it works.
Don't be.
That is a prime example of bullying.
Yeah.
Isn't it?
The job of the comic is, are you ripping it?
And one more thing on the old guy thing,
the old god of comedy.
A lot of them are amazing, by the way. We need to say that. There's a lot of comics who've been doing this
25, 30 years who are fucking
unbelievable, supportive of new acts
and they put
it out. Dave Johns, Georgie
Dave Johns, was amazing
with me when I first started.
That night in Chester
that I had a really good gig that you were on, he was on that
night and he put me in touch
with the hyena
he said he was going to speak
to Julia at Highlight
and he was like
you're going to be a comic
and I want to help you
he's fucking amazing Dave
he can be a whiny old twat
on Facebook
and he fucking knows it
but he's dead sound
and he's got his opinions
and he's like
no this is what I think
and you can have a different one
but I think I'm right
so he's cantankerous
but he's a great comic
he's a great comic
and he's really sound.
There's a load of them like that.
But like we've said, there's some bitter old twats,
and one of my favourite fucking things in the world,
and this is the competitive side of me coming out,
is there's one example that sticks out,
and I'll tell you the name off pod,
because I don't want to be slagging people off on pod.
It's not fair.
I remember
doing a tryout for Jonglers in Croydon, do you remember Croydon? I do. So me and Carl went down,
because I was doing a gig in Croydon, and it was in Tiger, Tiger, Croydon, and we went down to have
a night out, and it was, the night out was fun, I remember at one point afterwards, we're in this
nightclub, and a girl comes over and goes, John shot Sambuca, and we're in london and he went should we have one lads and in liverpool the
girl walking around with a bottle of shots it's a pound a shot right and she went yeah so uh how
many do you want and he was like how much are they she went six pound each and he went not a
fucking chance fuck off and she went well you're gonna be paying 10 quid at the bar so and he went
no i'm fucking not because i'm just not fucking buy them. I was recently single as well.
I broke up with my ex-girlfriend the day before.
Yeah.
So it was a fucking 10 quid for a shot of Sambuca.
Fucking insane.
I would rather walk back to Liverpool to get a shot
and then come back to dance.
There was a comic on that night who I also ended up doing
another tryout with at Highlight, I think.
But they were just dead rude to me.
Like, you're below
me.
And at the time, I was below them.
But a couple of years
later, they came to
Hot Water on like a
Wednesday night. This was literally about two or three
years ago. It was at Seal Street
so you ought to be in there. Times have changed
motherfucker. And I was closing
the Wednesday night and they were there to do a 15
minute unpaid set to be seen
and they were so
nice to me and
I hate that more than
anything in the world because they were like
oh my god mate, I haven't seen you
for years, you're doing so well. I remember
gigging with you when we did Jonglers together in Croydon.
I remember being a cunt to you.
But now I'm your best mate.
You could tell that night in Croydon that you were going to be a comic.
And I was like, you couldn't.
Because it was one of the worst gigs anyone has ever had.
There were seven people in the audience.
And everyone died a fucking horrendous death.
And yeah, I just...
That, to me, is the worst person in the world someone who
you're below me fuck you and as soon as you just pass them hey i'd rather he detained up hot water
i mean like you're like mate i'd have respected them more if they were just constantly a cunt
rather than oh you could maybe help me now so i'm gonna be nice to you i've got a few lines
under a few names mentally
where I'm waiting to hear from them
now that this is doing well.
Just a couple of people that I asked things of,
just random things.
Asked to do a podcast once and they were like,
no, we'll need someone with a little bit more profile.
I'm like, okay, cool.
That'll get remembered.
But I tell you what comedy has come on.
From this generation, I mean, we slag off junglers so much,
but the majority of these guys were nice,
but there was just a bad culture within that.
And I think comedy's come a long way in terms of dressing rooms.
We've gone from bullying to sort of snakery, really't we and being two-faced and whatnot you don't see many instances
of something like bullying in a dressing room no like it's okay it's a it's quite a it's not a woke
industry but it's quite a sweet it's comedy you look at it and you're like oh it's a little
northern men you know at comedy clubs like the frog and bucket but but they're they they're guys who are empathetic and aware and socially
aware they're on twitter like we're part of you know it's not just as working men's club as a lot
of london acts see i'm in some dressing rooms and it's it is very supportive and there's work to be
done with women in dressing rooms and young girls that that try and stand up as well and and and the the industry is actively trying to do it but
there are there are a couple of comics who throw their weight around but it stands out totally and
they get called out they do they really do i think it's very important that they are as well but um
it is worth saying because bullying and piss taking was sort of intertwined
there that is piss taking amongst mates and that's one of my favorite things in a green room
like hot water got a bit of flack at the minute and rightly so because sometimes their bills are
a bit samey they book a lot of the same acts because we deliver and their attitude is well
people are paying to see you you've got all the videos out so if I do like a hot water bill and it was one a few months ago
where it was me
you
Danny McLaughlin
Paul Smith
and that green room
we will slag each other off
to each other's faces
and it's funny as fuck
because we all know
we're all mates in it sound
you can add Freddie Quinn into that
you can have Milo McCabe into that
you can add Mandy Knight
Beth Black into that
the regulars at that club
we will literally be like
like when I was on stage
and I did that comparing thing which we've mentioned
before, where I went to a woman, where are you from?
And she was like, Aintree. And all I
had was to go, horses.
I've never heard the end of that. And that's
piss-taking. And that's funny.
That's what we do on this podcast. Yeah.
You want to be piss-taking. I love
it when I get to a green room and I'm like, everyone's
going to be horrible to each other's face
for the whole weekend
because we all know
it's not serious
but making someone feel uncomfortable
or using a position of power
to make them feel like
they don't deserve
to be in the same
fucking green room
as you
and it happened in McDonald's
I've seen it there
it's happened in bars as well
the McDonald's one though
it always sticks in my mind
I always think of that
call it out
it's different when you're at school
I remember being at school
and I look back and think
fuck I saw some stuff
that I should have been like
that is
that's just
it was bullying
yeah yeah
because I was like
well I'm not doing it
you're like
you're still part of the problem really
yeah
but in adult life
you should know the difference
of right and wrong
fucking hell
there are some
cantankerous
old bastards in comedy clubs though miserable swats um i mean that is that is one question
one section isn't it sounds good to me i think we should have a less beautifully done mate um
we've got on this subject i'm quite proud of what we're doing with this podcast because we've had
some big names on that couch already and they're going to get bigger and bigger
as this podcast goes on.
But we're also putting people on
who are up and coming,
who we just really like.
And today we're bringing a lad in
called Vittorio Angeloni,
who you haven't met him yet, have you?
No, not in real person,
but not in real life.
I've just done the Doing Bitsies podcast with Eshaan.
Yeah.
And I've never met him either, but we've just seen a doing bits his podcast with eshan yeah and i've
never met him either but we've just seen a lot of his stuff online over the past few months funny
i thought you know what he seems dead sound he's funny as fuck let's bring him in uh we're gonna
go and pick him up from the train station get ourselves a bite to eat you won't see any of that
we'll be back after this message from our sponsors money bags, and then we'll have Vittorio Angeloni joining us on the orange sofa.
All right.
From Texas to Skem,
everybody is listening to the funniest podcast in the game.
It has to be Have A Word.
Eh-eh.
Eh-oh.
Ah.
Eh.
Oh-oh-oh-oh.
Eh-oh-oh-oh.
Oh.
I've just watched a new video of him when you were out.
He's doing Serie A.
Borussia Dortmund.
That's how fucked he was.
That was Serie A.
Got the wrong league there, lad.
He did say Borussia Dortmund, though.
But it was Serie A.
Did he change the buddy?
I think it's edited, so it's Serie A and the Bundesliga
It must be
Vittorio Angelone
Talking about Serie A
I'd love him to introduce you
The best one I had was an MC
Please welcome to the stage Valentino Afok John Lalo The best one I had Was an MC From a
Please welcome to the stage
Valentino
Ah fuck
And I had to go
Oh my god
Valentino
Ah fuck
Hey you've got your
Urban comedy name
Sorted though haven't you
Valentino
Ah fuck
Do we have to say
The something
It's always Vittorio
The entertainer
The ah fuck
It is quite funny
How much compers struggle with names.
You know, like, I remember when, you remember Lewis?
Not yours, though.
No, mine's quite easy.
I've had Rowey, though.
Adam Rowey.
Adam Roo.
I have had some fuck-ups.
Adam Rowey.
But you know what?
Like, your name is a bit exotic.
Correct.
So I can understand a little bit that someone can have a bit of trouble with it.
You know who I started out with?
Lewis Phillips Calvert,
who is a lad me and Carl went to school with.
We started standing up pretty much at the same time.
He's funny as fuck,
but he just gave up because he couldn't be arsed
with the commitment that comedy takes.
Really good writer.
It doesn't matter.
Lewis Phillips Calvert.
Three very basic names.
Yeah.
The amount of times
compares fucked it up.
He was Lewis Philins Calvin,
Lewis Phillips Calvin,
Lewis Phillies Calvert.
Oh my God.
And in the end,
he just gave up
and just changed to Lewis Calvert
because compares just cut like
professional compares
that again,
we won't snag anyone off.
It would like beat the frog.
Like,
Lewis Phillips Calvert. I can do two names. Like, Louis-Felix Calvo.
I can do two names.
I can't do three.
Although Calvert, I always think looks French.
Calvert.
Calvert.
Louis Calvert.
When we do beat the frog,
and I've been doing it twice a month for a long time,
and I don't check the list.
There's like 12 acts on. there are some oh choice foreign feeling
sounding names and I've not done the little run through of the oh you just look like such a prick
where you're like Mohammed I've not practiced this one for my body he's all right Calvert
that'll do but I because my plan initially Was come up do this And then
I think I found
Were you supposed to be doing this
Sunday or Monday
Or whatever it is
Following this week
Beat the Frog
Right okay
Yeah yeah
I was like
Oh that'd be sick
I'll do the pod
And then I'll just hang around
Stay with my cousin in Manchester
And then I'll do
Beat the Frog on the Monday
Right
Fucking COVID
China AIDS
China AIDS Is that what you call
china quite an interesting debate that in it because trump is because trump's such a hated
figure like calling it china virus or the china aids or the china clap or whatever you want to
call it china flu yeah the best one was kung flu kung flu kung flu was i mean he's got fucking snl writers for
that god almighty only shane gillis though i was so inside but like it's weird in it because that's
where it came from but racists can't let us have anything funny without making it too hateful
like we could have all called it
the Chinese virus
the Kung Flu
the Hong Kong
Flu-y
right
we could have all
had that
and all had a really
nice laugh about it
but then racists
have to go and
beat up
vaguely Chinese
looking men
in central London
can you stop
pointing at me
yeah Trump
no racists
the hair
I got told I look like
a member of one of the
other bobsled teams
from Cool Runnings
you look like
the enemy ones
the evil
swine
yeah the evil
German ones
they have been
bobsledding for years
I haven't watched that film
for 25 years
and I know that spot on
if there was a school
shooter
in your town
you'd be in trouble
because you're gonna
match the E-fist
do you know what I mean exactly fucking if like a panicked nine-year-old he was blonde it was long he was smiling all the time he seemed
happy he had a jumper on yeah it is school shootery it is yeah it is a lot is that what
you were going for because this when i so we, so we've only met, you've only met either of us virtually.
Yes.
And when I did your podcast with Eshan Akbar,
shout out, have a word, legend, Eshan Akbar.
He's getting too much now, though.
I am sick of it.
He's starting to ride out Twitter with it, isn't he?
He's like, oh, guys, you might know me from being the,
have a word, legend.
We're like, all right, Eshan.
Okay, yeah, fuck Eshan, fuck his family,
fuck all his people and his entire line of heredity. I mean, we're getting him backhan okay yeah fuck Eshan fuck his family fuck all his people
and his entire
line of heredity
I mean we're getting him
back on though aren't we
yeah
yeah quite soon
and then it's obviously
we'll build him up again
need the views
for that fucking
sweet album
but he has
you've given him
a confidence
that I'd never seen
from the moment before
he's been validated
and I'm sick of it
I believe
Eshan
grow up mate
I don't want him to grow up
you're the whitest brown man
in the world
I love the fact that
he's a big fat brown adult baby
I really like him
I really want to see him
in a nappy
is that your thing
tell me that wouldn't be
hilarious
Ishan Akbar in a nappy
Bengali heritage men
in nappies
is that what you're into
Gandhi
oh he's not having
a Gandhi wank
oh do you know you're hung over when you're having a
gandhi wank by the way on the that on the the drunk episode that we did which once this goes
out has already been out um where i said someone set themselves on fire gandhi style because i got
gandhi confused with the dalai Lama was that Dalai Lama
threatened to set himself on fire
no that was Taoist
it's not the Dalai Lama though
it's all over the show I can't remember this bit
no no it wasn't Gandhi
it was Thatcher what who was it
oh wasn't it the Pope someone said
yeah it's the monks in Vietnam
and Tibet as well
alright ok it wasn't the Dalai Lama.
It's always a weird threat, that, though, isn't it?
What?
Do what I say or I'm going to set myself on fire.
See, Irish people don't get that kind of terrorism.
We stay well fucking clear of what's going on.
Plant it, run, see you later.
Plant it, run, see you later, but give them a bell first.
Yeah, 100%.
So polite. Polite terrorism. But you know it's coming. plant it, run, see you later but give them a bell first yeah, 100% polite terrorism
but you know it's coming
you know it's given me the fear that I can't remember that conversation
from the lockdown lock-in whatsoever
and then I'm like
what else has been said
by this point everyone will know
me, Carl, Ed, yesterday
in my house and I could hear the whole thing
and it's definitely for behind a paywall.
Not that I got edited out, just to say.
Not that I went out,
but I had to make it just more viewable
because at some point...
Yeah, you have to come between the cameras and stuff.
Yeah, at some points it was just a bit inaudible.
Like, you shouldn't watch it
because it'll give you the fear.
But when you dyed your hair,
were you going for a school shooter look?
Was there a reason you went blonde?
I don't think he was definitely going for a school shooter look.
Bowling for Columbine.
No, but some people like to be feared.
I hate that.
See, I hate my worst nightmare is people being scared of me.
I thought it would look nice,
and I thought it would just make me stand out
from all the other straight white males on the comedy circuit.
Yeah, yeah.
Basically, at the minute,
it feels like either Daryl O'Brien or Ed Byrne has to die for me to get on mock the week yeah good or set themselves on fire and i'm
just the right thing i'm just like balancing either so if ed burn goes first i'll keep the
hair long but if darryl brain goes i'll buzz it off and start talking about stars and shit where's
the northern where's the northern irish representation in comedy the last patrick
keelty's last person on Mock the Week from Northern Ireland
was Patrick Kielty.
Yeah.
The last one from Liverpool.
John Bishop, not even letting them have that.
He's from Runcorn.
Is he?
Yeah.
I got bumped from a line-up in Belfast for John Bishop
and I wasn't that annoyed.
What, you got fucked off?
Yeah, yeah.
Like New York Comedy Club style?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Because I was supposed to be on
and then they were like
I can't tell you why
but just
come down and watch
but you're not on anymore
what was John Bishop doing
just passing through
he was filming
do you know that tour
thing that he did
right
because basically
it was all supposed to be
like nice little comedy clubs
and pubs and stuff
and the only gigging
down in Belfast
was the arena
so he wanted to reshoot it
in like a small
comedy clubs
for all these mad cameras there and shit.
And I was like, that's fair.
If you're looking at what you want to achieve in comedy,
that is one of the levels
you really would like to get to.
I'm filming this thing
and I'm just going to pop in
and just do 20 minutes.
That's what you want.
You'd love to be at a level like,
could you just fuck off anyone who's in that spot?
Because I'm coming to try out some new stuff
I really really really
love squeezing onto
a bill though
they're my favourite gigs
top secret in London
I can do it there
the boat show in London
I could do that
because my agent runs it
and a couple of weeks ago
before this second
lockdown hit
I had a Saturday night
off and just went to
hot water
and on the late show
they only had two acts on
they were just doing one break and I was like because it was the last night of gigging off and just went to hot water. And on the late show, they only had two acts on.
They were just doing one break.
And I was like, ah.
Because it was the last night of gigging before it all went to shit.
And I went to Binti.
I had fucking love.
Let's just do a gig.
Can we do one on Tuesday?
And Binti was like, you can get on tonight if you want.
Just go on after the headliner.
Just go and do whatever.
It was fucking. Not a traditional spot.
No.
Just go on after the closer and just do whatever.
And I did like half an hour.
It was fucking.
I don't like people that aren't up for that
like you know people
that are running
like a pretty shitty open mic
and you're like
you're there
and you're like
oh could you throw me on
for five
because I had
there was two gigs
on in Belfast
and it was like
kind of the same gig twice
and I wasn't on the first one
but I was supposed to be
on the second one
and then the lockdown
got called
so the second one
got cancelled
and I was at the first one
and I said to the guy
like oh could you
chuck me on for five minutes just so I get a gig before it all disappears again and he
was like no because we have to run to this time and this time and i'm like just mc five minutes
less yeah but that's when you know you're not i'm not slagging off that gig particularly but
be a proper club and just show a bit of flex yeah you know it's not like the we start at 20 past
eight the comp comes off at half past
eight just be a fucking proper comedy club i remember jason manford turning up to his own gig
when he owned part of the laughing in chester he was like because jason manford is well known
very fucking sound comic he's not everyone's favorite stand-up in stand-up but in comedy
but if you actually watch what he does, you're like, fuck me,
he's there for a reason.
He's an excellent comic.
And he owned the gig, and he'd come down,
and he literally was like a 30% shareholder,
and everyone was like, oh, you should go on.
You know, we can move the bill around.
He went, I'll just go on at the end.
Like, he's so sound, and just went on the end
and did like 50 minutes and it still worked
they're happy to see them and I think
comedians and promoters get
bogged down because we're so used
to like the way the bill
runs and it's like no they need a comic
and then they need a compere then 20
and then a break they're ready for a break then and at the end
of the night oh no they're ready to go home they've had enough
if you ask the audience they don't
know that every comic does 20 minutes
they haven't got a fucking clue
they just know
the compere comes on
and brings someone on
and they do a bit
and then the compere goes on
and brings someone on
and they do a bit
they're not watching times
going this guy only did 18
also the crowd will let you know
without stopping it
if they're going tired
and it's gone a bit shit
they've let you know
like if it's not working
cut your jaw
and someone famous
just let them on
that's why I do prefer
the New York style
of like
I don't think people should necessarily be bumped
because I think that's a bit shit
but like
we've said this before
I feel like if I got massive
which I'd love to be
I'd love to be doing big tours and whatever
I'd still feel like I'd turn up be doing big tours and whatever i i'd still feel
like i'd turn up to the frog and bucket on a saturday i'd ring jess a few days before and be
like can i come down on saturday and just drop in can i just do an extra set because i love it
well because you want to perform as well to people that aren't your like disciples like you want to
perform to just fucking strangers who've never fucking no I'm ready for disciples now
I've done 18 years
of people who don't know
or give a fuck
about who I am
and luckily for you
you've only got 12 fans
yeah
that's it
I thought you were
literally at this point
I'd sell tickets to them
I thought you were
going to be like
luckily for you
you've only got 12 years left
that could be right as well
12 years of selling
12 ticket
tours
can I get on the bill can you fuck
that's why your special was fucking sick
because it wasn't you performing to a bunch of people
who give you a standing ovation for walking onto the stage
yeah I like that
and it's a yeah it was fun
I think more and more comics are going to shoot
specials that way and certainly shoot
shorter form things
the ones with balls there's some people that are going to shoot specials that way and certainly shoot shorter form things the ones with
balls the ones with balls yeah there's some people are going to be like could i could i do the easier
version of that yeah but there's a lot of comics who need to start filming stuff who haven't got
enough of the following to put 400 people in a theater and they're going to have to go i need
to film some sets and there's so many comics who made at every club that they could easily just go i'll
spend 500 quid get a camera crew and get three cameras in and and let's film something yeah but
the risk with that is is that it's just a shit night in it that having having spent a bit of
money on that before it is always a bit of a like i've spent money on a this is five years ago
trying to do a version of this and then you get there and the night is just poor
like
like I'd picked a gig
that was decent
most nights
and it was just a bad night
and I did okay
but it wasn't something
you wanted to
yeah
there is a bit more security
about going
this is a nice gig
these are some of my people
it's just a safer play
I did have a backup though
like to be fair
I filmed four sets
yeah so I filmed four sets. Yeah.
So I filmed Friday
and Saturday
at the Comedy Store.
Same shirt?
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Same shirt for all four shows.
Where are you filming a special?
This kicks you off.
This is the one
that just sent you
into the stratosphere
and they're like,
listen,
we've got a budget.
Vittorio,
where's your debut special
being filmed?
You're a Belfast lad.
You live in London.
What would you do?
I would love to do the Barbbican in london because i went to uni in like the same is that a theater yeah yeah
but how many does it hold uh well they have a smaller theater as well isn't the barbican like
it's got flats as well hasn't it yeah three big broodless towers
and I went to uni in that
building and started stand up by
running a night at my uni so I think my
whole connection because I also have an
after I studied classical music I auditioned
for drama school hang on
pause is that bullshit
are you calling bullshit no I'm just
pausing you can tell he listens to the pod
don't call bullshit I'm a fan
you studied classical music I was a call a pod I'm a fan I'm a fan
you studied classical music
I was a classical musician
before I was a comedian
you were a classical musician
yeah yeah
what do you play
percussion
the triangle
this
I've done
that's the
that's the stick you get every time
you've talked shit about the triangle
before on this podcast
and I was very upset about it
but
yeah I did do exams
on the triangle
it is easy to talk shit
about the triangle
oh 100% do you know because it's not really a musical instrument when i was 18 at christmas i
got a triangle for christmas jesus christ fucking we poor belfast lad merry christmas vittorio
here is a fucking triangle and you know what it is because there's only one way to wrap a triangle.
Thanks, Mum.
How do they do a triangle exam?
So it's excerpts from difficult triangle parts in orchestral pieces.
Yeah, because triangles don't come in on a...
They don't come in on a...
They come at weird...
What do you mean?
Difficult triangle parts?
Because isn't a triangle just constantly
just every now and then a
little yeah but no one wants to do the little roll where you put the stick in the middle you
sound like a cunt at a hotel could i pass a try like if the examiner yeah wasn't looking could i
pass a triangle test with that bell so the thing with percussion across the board is it's very easy
to be okay at it like it's the easiest
thing in the world
to just be passable at
but to be very very good
obviously takes
whatever whatever
and what's the most
like the timpani drums
timpani and then like
marimba and vibraphone
do you know when you're
holding two sticks
in each hand
and all that shit
I wasn't the best
or whatever
because I didn't really
care about it that much
but the point of the story
was that when I auditioned
for drama school
a bunch of places
didn't want me
and I want to do
a fuck you tour where I sell out all of their theaters the ucast tour
vittorio clearing
amazing just doing gigs at everyone who's ever like not believed you what's the second night of the tour mrs gregson's fucking house fuck you gregson you're a bitch amazing turning up with the girl who turned you down in year six
oh amazing but i took the piss like so on my final recital at the Guildhall
School of Music and Drama, which is like fucking
top-ranked music college in the world,
I did, do you know John Cage's
4 minutes 33 seconds, where it's just
silent for 4 and a half minutes?
I did that as part of my final...
Hang on. Oh, I don't know what you saw.
There was a piece by a composer called John...
I literally thought of Chappelle.
8 minutes 46 seconds.
I got up and went eight
minutes um so why you gotta go anyone that long i'm sorry um there's a piece by a composer called
john cage and it's silent for four minutes 33 seconds right and i did that in my final exam
and how long was the exam the exam total was like a 35 minute program of pieces right okay so
for four and a half minutes that you just did fuck all i sat and looked at a music stand guys
see this is back come on to the tracy emmon bullshit okay that's not a song and an unmade
bed is not a fucking painting okay do you want to get right there's a frank zappa do you know
frank zappa i don't know anyone in vittoria if they haven't got a special on netflix frank zappa was his history teacher
and he gave a really bad report card once frank zappa says what defines art is the frame you put
it in so me drinking a cup of orange juice isn't art unless i get up on a stage and frame it as
such so that's why the unmade bed is art because
it's supposed to be viewed as art and the silence and like what happens in the noises in the room
because at one point someone lent back and scrunched uh pret bag and everyone went and that
was just because i forced everyone to just shut the fuck up for four and a half minutes okay so
let's go with your 30 let's go with Franny Z's ideology, right?
And I know you get pissed off with this.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Like half-cut dad at a fucking christening.
Bullshit.
Psychology.
Shit.
If I got a handful of cow shit
and just threw it at a wall
and gone, that's art.
Is that art?
Yeah.
Because I framed it as art
if you do it as part of an installation
a gallery
or somewhere
yeah
right
but isn't that
a bit fucking stupid
some people
some people might go
art has to be able to be everything
because it's supposed to encompass everything
no
I don't agree with you
we should have
slightly stricter boundaries than I identify this as art so it's supposed to encompass everything. No, no. I don't agree with you. We should have slightly stricter boundaries
than I identify this as art,
so it's fucking art.
No.
It doesn't mean it's good.
No.
Do you know where he starts?
It's cow shit on a wall, Vittorio.
But people would feel something.
It's provocative.
It gets the people going.
Yeah.
What if we did an installation
where you were at an art gallery
just slagging off art
That'd be good
That's how I frame Adam Rowe
Just stood there
In like white background
White on the wall
And just him with a mic going
You're all fucking knobbits
It's bullshit
That'd be amazing
Have you seen the
Malcolm in the Middle episode
Where they're at Burning Man
No
And Hal
Do you know Malcolm in the Middle
Yeah
So Hal becomes
Like an art installation
He's just setting up there like Caravan
and making it all look nice
and he's just getting angry at everyone.
So everyone comes and thinks it's performance art.
Oh yes.
Because he's getting pure mad and stuff.
But I'm not doing this even to be funny
on his comedy podcast.
Have a word.
I'm not doing that.
This is bollocks
and more people should be calling it out.
It's got to be a painting, isn't it?
A painting? It's got to be a... A shit on a wall? It's got to be a painting, hasn't it? A painting of shit on a wall is art.
So do you know when you say...
Oh, you've softened.
No, I haven't.
You've a little bit, yeah.
No.
As long as it's a good painting.
Yeah.
It can be a bad painting and still be art, but it's still painting.
Do you think poetry has to rhyme?
No.
Oh.
The thing is, it's basically, if it's not painting,
if it's not a painting
Like it's not art
No it can be a sculpture
Right
Right
So what's a sculpture?
Like a bloke
Or a woman
Sculpted
Or something else
An object
Well you're getting close to
Just an object
If you're saying
Well just an object
Yeah
You're getting pretty close to
No if I get played on
And they look like shit
Then that's
That's a sculpture
But if it's just shit It's just shit What if you've got shit And made it look get Play-Doh and make it look like shit then that's that's a sculpture but if it's just shit
it's just shit
what if you've got shit
and made it look like Play-Doh
yeah
art
because it's not what it is
what if it was a painting
made of shit
what if it was like
the Mona shit Lisa
fucking unbelievable
oh really
yeah
you can paint with shit
alright
some people do
they end up in hospital
for quite a while
or they're on hunger strike in Belfast Oh, really? Yeah. You can paint with chairs. All right. Some people do. They end up in hospital for quite a while.
Or they're on Hunger Strike in Belfast.
Let's not make it political.
All right.
But what about, right,
so the people who come
to see you do comedy
and get, like, offended,
if you don't like it,
just don't come see me.
Yeah.
So what if that,
the unmade bad lady was like,
if you don't like it,
fuck off, Adam.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
I haven't gone.
Yeah. I haven't gone. And if she's got a podcast, she can sit on her podcast going i think adam rowe's not funny sound don't
come and see me i don't want to see your bed you don't have to worry about my opinions 25 years
ago tracy emmons on my bed and we're still fucking annoyed that's all doing me well that's that's why
i love it because in 2020 people are still getting pissed off about that have you did it win the
Turner Prize I think it
I think it does that all
the same fucking non-see
it's like the Edinburgh
Festival shit in it oh
no this is the best comedy
this year three laughs in
the hour it's exactly the
same fucking thing
for the best joke
for the best joke and it
wasn't even the best joke
within three minutes of
that joke in that show
of course it's up there
it's the only thing I've ever been fucking given it's the only recognition within three minutes of that joke in that show. Still up there though, isn't it? Of course it's up there.
It's the only thing I've ever been fucking given.
It's the only recognition
I've had from fucking anyone
in the industry.
You know what I fucking laugh?
I'm fucking made up with it.
Got a fucking
ceramic elephant.
Ceramic?
Whatever it is.
Pear specs.
Shut up.
Shit.
Fucking Susan.
Is that art?
What?
Is that art?
Is that art?
No, it's a trophy.
But like an artist made it.
No, they didn't.
A trophy maker made it.
Don't back him into a corner.
Because it's a photograph.
What about a...
Is a photo of anything art?
No.
But that is because it's artistic.
All right, okay.
No, you could be stood there looking at that in that place
and you wouldn't think,
oh, what an artistic view
I have here
but they've put it
in a frame
no
is it goal art
like a good goal
by Salah
no
but it feels like
but it isn't
that's my turn
to prize
see the way he turned in
put him on his arse
3-0
erm
yeah
I just look
I think
I actually think
that you only say
this shit to wind me up
no I genuinely don't
no yeah
you've got to say that
to keep it up
I really
I love modern art
and I love that it
winds up people like you
can you give me
a more recent example
than the fucking
I haven't made me bed
I'm not
I can't be arsed
I'm not an expert
but like I've said
I want to vlog
going to the
Sarcher Gallery
with you
because I think
it would be
amazing
just you going
this is a fucking shark
in a tank mate
like I just
I want to see that
you can't tell me
that a shark in a tank
is art
it isn't
it's fucking sea whale
I can't
what if it's jellify
like it's
what's his name
your man that jellifies
all the things
and cuts cows in halves
and stuff
oh
art
it's a sculpture
but it's made out of what it already is so it's not a shark being made to look like a shark you put it in the gel all the things and cuts cows in half and stuff. Oh. Art! It's a sculpture.
But it's made out of what it already is
so it's not a shark
being made to look
like a shark.
You put it in the gel
it's in one position.
A gel frame perhaps?
Effort.
I want effort
for it to be art.
You want effort?
I want effort.
I want someone
to have put effort in.
I don't want fucking
Tracy to get up
and look at her bed
and go
can't be arsed
painting anything
I'll give them that.
Do you know what I mean? She couldn't be ar painting anything I'll give them that do you know what I mean
she couldn't be
asked picking a
paintbrush up
and then everyone
was like oh
well done
such a good
commentary on what
it's like to
fucking not make
your bed
how do you feel
about like anti
jokes that like
deliberately aren't
funny
what do you mean
like you know
like anti
comedians
like anti
comedy
George Cotier
that's not
but it is funny and it's deliberately funny but it's anti comedy isn't it yeah What do you mean? Like anti-comedians, anti-comedy. George Cotillet. But that's not...
But it is funny, and it's deliberately funny.
But it's anti-comedy, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's not comedy.
It's developed to wind the people up who want a,
this is what I saw, observation punchline.
It's a reaction to that, isn't it?
It's an alternative.
Not our alternative, like a truly alternative.
And it winds people up like
when they go to see paul footlight why is that funny why is that i don't get it the quote a man
and fluke fluke brah speaking to dan what's funny about squirrels exactly but but some comedy is is
is appreciated by people who know a bit more about the art form and they've got a more developed sense of humour.
So that exists for them rather than just for, like,
your Michael McIntyre fan or your Peter Kay fan.
Right, OK.
So what you're saying is I don't understand art enough
to appreciate what Tracey Emin's done.
Listen, I'm not trying to put myself above you.
I don't know loads about it.
The modern art that I've enjoyed, I don't know loads about it the the modern art that i've enjoyed i
don't know loads about it it annoys me that you say enjoy all right just like it's like all right
i fucking buzzed off i walk around the fucking i walk around the city going that's fucking fucking
sick but you can like a piece of art you don't enjoy it okay It's not like a fucking eclair. Right, okay.
You, naked, eating an eclair,
put in an art gallery.
Fuck me.
That is a Turner Prize winning tab.
If you've enjoyed something,
it means it's gone.
Okay, good.
If you've enjoyed something,
it means you've stopped enjoying it. You can enjoy an epic show.
I could have just walked on to the next thing.
All I'm saying is,
That was awful.
People know.
That is really stupid.
You can enjoy a TV show.
It's still there.
It's finished.
I enjoyed that.
I can turn it back on again.
Because it's happening for a period of time.
Look at Finn's face.
Look at him.
I just looked...
Finn, the intermission was so good.
You're looking at the art for a period of time.
No, but it's still there.
Oh, God.
I feel like I've alienated a lot of the audience already.
Wow.
Spot on.
But we need to get to an art gallery.
I think it would be so amazing vlogging you doing it.
It'd just be phenomenal watching you get wound up.
But I think you'd start enjoying it.
Maybe.
I'd like to see what everyone else sees in it.
But I do think most people agree with me.
I think you're
all just being fucking art nonsense okay i don't care what people think about what i think of it
i just i genuinely like it no no no but i'm not doing it only god can judge me okay exactly how
the fuck am i on this podcast i just want people to think i'm intelligent and like that's not our
vibe is it but i i love that it winds people up I think it's
and I think you go
with that
what a load of bollocks
and I think
you might think that
about some of it
but there will be
some sculptures
some installations
that you love
some what
some sculptures
yeah there's some
there's some modern art
that's sculptures
but some of the fun
in Eurocomedy
is that it pisses
some people off
yeah
so some of the fun
in the unmade bad is that it pisses some people off. Jesus. Yeah. So some of the fun in The Unmade Bed is that it pisses
you off. Maybe. Yeah, I'm willing
to accept that. Well,
I'll tell you what. Thank you.
Thanks for listening to Have A Word. Jesus
Christ. Can you come on
more?
Victoria, who knew a man
from Belfast would calm that situation
down?
We all just need to listen to one another.
We've become very good peacemakers in the last 20 years.
I'm a ceasefire baby, that's all right.
You're a ceasefire baby?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's that mean?
I was born in and around the Good Friday Agreement.
Right.
The Good Friday Agreement.
97?
Oh, 98.
So the Good Friday Agreement is...
Jesus Christ!
No, but I know what it is because it keeps
getting brought up
you think it's Easter
don't you
well it was
it must have been
around then
yeah
I mean
that's why it's
called that
because it's
probably come up
with on Good Friday
you think it's like
people giving
Easter eggs to
each other
no don't
yeah the Easter
bunny
where's the
balaclava
so
the IRA
wanted an independent Ireland
and they were fighting for it
and Britain
was like,
no.
And there was murder
and on Good Friday
they all went,
let's just have a pint.
It was just a big,
it was like the biggest
agree to disagree in history.
And then,
little Vittoria was there
with his triangle.
Why can't we all
just get along?
Peace at last.
Wow.
I almost can't believe
that we went from that level of argument.
This is the problem because I go on podcasts
and I'm like, I don't want to just be seen as a Northern
Irish guy that just talks about the troubles, but then
there's shit fucking happening.
What? Talk about the troubles. Tell talks about the Troubles but then there's shit fucking around I mean you did bring it up talk about
the Troubles
tell us about
the Troubles
are we to blame
I fucking missed it as well
I didn't
I have no real experience
with the Troubles
few bomb scares here and there
but I missed the fucking
yeah but we've all had them
the party
do you know what I mean
yeah bomb scares
have moved on haven't they
you had a bomb scare
didn't you
in Manchester
and you used to do
a routine about it
the bomb scare
didn't you wasn't
there like a terrorist attack or something in manchester and you were in oh no that was the
riots the riot that was the riots when that guy always get bombs and riots mixed it's all a kick
off um that was the uh the day a few days after that lad in london got shot by the police and
then there was riots and then it it was there was burning in wolverhampton
and then there was uh manchester and it booted off and i got locked in a cinema with my mate
but it was so like we have survived it was the most like middle class movie when you say you
got locked in a cinema yeah i'll come to that so we super eight when you say you got locked in was
the film still on?
yeah I mean
I'm straying into
because I do a routine about it
but
we went in the cinema
and it was
it was booting off
like
on the
in Birmingham
and Wolverhampton
the day before
and there was rumours
going round
that like
oh it's going to kick off
in Salford and Manchester
so me and my mate Tony
went for lunch
and it was dead quiet
and we were the only people
in Gourmet Burger Kitchen
and the guy
this is when we knew
it was going wrong
there was a really camp guy
in the Gourmet
you played it fucking safe there
didn't you
there's going to be riots
about a murder
where should we go
I reckon GBK will be fine
GBK
on the Salford side of town
and he started bringing in furniture
and putting it around us.
And he was like,
I'm sorry about this.
And just started moving furniture
like from the balcony.
And we were like,
you're all right, mate.
What are you doing?
And he's like,
oh, I'm so sorry to bother you.
You can have,
you know,
everything's fine.
We've just been rung from head office
and told to bring in the furniture
from the balcony
because the rioters
are coming this way.
Was he creating like a barricade? Yeah, it was it was literally like you know last orders when the landlord wants you to
fuck off i was gonna say like lame is when they're building but it felt like that except it was like
quarter past three in the afternoon and we were like yeah can we still get our cheeseburgers
three chairs so then we walked to the cinema paid for the film and they they let us in and then the
writers just got to the middle of town at that point,
where the triangle is,
and the Odeon, cool as fuck, just closed the shutters
and let everyone watch the film.
They didn't stop the film or anything.
By the time the film finished, were you allowed back out?
No.
Did they put on another film?
That's what I want to know.
No.
Surely they should be silent and go,
right, you've seen Big Mama's House.
We've already done Big Mama's House
too
no there's
just a guy
came forward
and told us
for how long
will you suck
with no film
did you do a set
I was like
listen
there's about
12 people here
this is my kind of crowd
everyone looking
a little bit scared
that's how I like it
I feel like I would've
done a set
like Cliff Richard
at Wimbledon.
I was going to say.
So a guy came forward and went,
guys, can you stay in your seats?
We've locked down the cinema for your own safety.
We're going to ask you to stay in your seat.
Everyone was camp.
Stay in your seats and we're going to decide
with speaking, you know, with the management
and what's best for your safety.
And we all just sort of sat there.
I don't know if that would have been the time
for me to stand up and be like,
thanks very much, thank you.
Who's drinking?
Ice blasts.
Dan was just there trying to make a baseball bat
out of minstrels.
Mushing together candy shrimps.
Cost you about 25 grand for enough minstrels
in the cinema to make a baseball bat.
You need a mortgage.
We were only in there for about 20 minutes
and then they let us out through Nando's.
And in my head, I was like...
Couldn't he have put some trailers on for you, couldn't he?
Being like, come back next week.
Well, the film was Super 8, and it was pretty shit.
Super 8?
What?
Super 8.
The film was Super 8?
Did you miss it in 2011?
That Super 8 film?
It was called Super 8.
Super 8?
Which is a type of camera.
Literally.
It's a type of camera literally it's a type of camera
yeah but is it a fucking camera um made of shit um yeah we were in there for about 20 minutes
and then i wandered home and uh i feel like this is a story that i do in my stand-up so i'm not
giving you the the full version of it but yeah it was pretty stressful
and on the way
we got back finally
and we were watching
the looters
because there's about
that night
there was about 1500
ne'er-do-wells
roaming around Manchester
we were only locked
in the cinema
for like 15 minutes
after the film
and when we got back
me and my mate
flatmate Andy
we just looked out
our window
because we lived
in Manchester City Centre
and we saw people just coming, like Scallies,
going back to the rough bits of Manchester,
like Aperay and fucking Miles Platten.
And they had the things that they've nicked.
And one guy had a, and he looked pleased as punch,
had a keytar.
Do you remember the 80s electric guitar guitar yeah so he might have got
a fucking prison sentence for a nostalgia yamaha keytar what are you literally was like hey
fuck you this system can i ask you a question what would you loot right so this is gonna be
sort of what i want to know from both of you is actually is would you loot if so this is going to be sort of what I want to know from both of you actually is
would you loot
if you knew
like you've got
like a bali on
balaclava or like
you wear schnoods
right
schnoods
they've got the
schnood hat
schnoods
would you loot
because really
who are you hating
the shops going to
be insured for that
the only people losing
are the insurance
company and fuck
them I think we all
agree on that.
I'm getting myself some shoes, mate.
1,500 people roaming around smashing shops up.
We lived near a car park that had a mother care world
and a JD spot, like a big one.
And we just watched.
It was amazing.
It was like, you know when you've got iron filings
and a magnet and you can move them round?
Police cars would swoop in.
All the scullies would go,
and then within ten minutes they'd all just come back
because they were like, fucking, it's like a JD Palace.
And the Bang & Olufsen got done professionally.
Like two vans turned up, smashed in the posh stereo shop.
But I would you, Lou, if you'd already seen someone done the window,
so the doorway's open, you don't do the breaking, you just do the entering. And you'd already seen someone done the window. So the doorway's open.
You don't do the breaking.
You just do the entering.
And you're going to get away with it.
Well, that's what they all thought.
There was literally people on the BBC going,
it's fucking, it's menace night tonight.
Everyone's getting away with it.
It was like literally a thousand convictions.
What's that?
Oh, mate, yeah.
Have you heard about the day?
But what would you steal is the question.
I'm would you?
I think I'm too much of a wee bitch
What
We're talking about trainers
You're a fucking
Trainer head aren't you
I'm not a massive trainer head
I know but to the point
If you saw like
Like Yeezys or something
I'm not into
But like
Go on
Take a pair of fucking
Vans
I love free shit mate
And I'm getting away with it
Fuck it
I'll take whatever
I want
yeah
it'd be hard
because Adam
would just walk
past the checkout
and you're like
you're not going
to mention it
that's an in joke
that
I hope the casual
listeners get it
I like a bit of a
fucking thievery
just a little bit of
go on what
what would you
what you've got to
sort of
it doesn't count
if there's no risk
of conviction
you cover you get the snood on you might get convicted you might not they might clock you on the CCTV And what would you... You've got to sort of... It doesn't count if there's no risk of conviction.
You get the snood on.
You might get convicted, you might not.
They might clock you on the CCTV.
There's do you loot, conviction or not,
and then there's also if you don't get convicted,
what do you loot?
The Apple Store is pointless.
It's all registered.
Have you not seen what happened last time?
They've all got messages going,
can you please return this product to the Apple Store you stole?
Well, John Lewis then.
Like somewhere where there's loads of computers and that. What, are you going to steal it, John Lewis?
Oh, I thought you meant like the homeware section.
Like a lovely crew set.
You've got a new triple A.
I'll be well healthy in prison.
Don't worry about me.
I'll take whatever I could.
Like, it's supermarket sweep, innit?
You've just got to fucking go as fast as you can.
I'd fucking love to do supermarketmarket Sweep, by the way.
I used to watch Supermarket Sweep thinking,
what are you fucking idiots doing?
Why are you wasting yourself on the fucking turmeric and shit?
They're putting fucking spices in.
They're fucking 50p.
Get to the big aisle, box yourself off.
What would you go for?
Just microwave, microwave, microwave?
Yeah, stuff that you can resell.
You don't need to keep it, do you?
Well, that's looting, isn't it?
You've got to go expensive but carryable. And they used to let people do it at 10 a.m on itv1
with our fucking dale is he dead yeah yeah what would you steal uh i think a camera is a good one
because it's not like connected to anything so you wouldn't get that's off grid yeah off grid
you gotta go cold protocol camera a telly
they're off grid
no more though
they're on wifi aren't they
no guys
come on
looting
you gotta get it back
through Manchester
yeah
you're not taking your car
to loot
why
you're not parking up
and having to loot
and then driving off
registration
there was no cars
could get in the city centre
I steal a big leg
it was all blocked off
also
make fucking sandwiches
for the looters
you can still take
the ones they hang up
in big European shops
and sometimes in little.
Yeah.
You can still take a tally.
I fucking love it.
Because you're just walking
in free Manchester
and the police will be like,
what the fuck are you doing?
Be like, I bought it.
Prove it.
They don't have to.
Prove I didn't.
That's exactly
how that works.
Prove I didn't take it.
I'd take SD cards
Because you could get fucking loads
And as we know now
They're expensive
Yeah
Oh yeah
I'd take about a fucking thousand
Yeah but you could fill your pockets with them
And still take the telly
I just want a big fucking
I want like a ten grand telly
This is like a purge question
Because have you heard the story about
When Ireland fucked up the legislation
On drugs
There he goes
And accidentally made everything legal for a day
Just one day
In the Republic.
For a day.
And it stood?
All drugs.
Yeah.
And people walked up to police officers just putting pills in their mouth and doing coke
and all and just like.
And they couldn't do anything?
Because it was legal.
Because they like forgot to start the new legislation.
They got the dates wrong.
Oh my God.
Was it New Year's Day or New Year's?
Was it just random?
It was random.
I feel like it was a bigger fucker to let that information out
than to actually fuck it up in the first place.
The fact that they've gone,
by the way, guys, just so you know,
we've accidentally made drugs legal for the day.
Just keep that fucking amongst you and your secretary.
Do you know what I mean?
Lisa, tell no one.
Yeah, it's not like stoners are like,
oh my God god there's this
new legislation
but it's just the
excitement of people
like going right up
to a police officer
and just chucking
pills in your mouth
and be like that
is fuck all you can
do my god
you could do that
anyway really though
and be like prove it
wasn't a minstrel
it was just a
paracetamol
this is my TV
that's not drugs
it's a tic tac
I own this
fuck the receipt
bye bye but you could be walking
through Liverpool city centre now with a telly
the police aren't going to be coming up to you and go and prove that you're
telling them. I don't think you understand what Manchester
was like that night, it wasn't just like
evening shoppers, few people at Café
Rouge, it was fucking
bedlam. Was it? Yeah
Was it the same in Liverpool?
What? We got writers
too at the same time in Liverpool
wasn't classic
Manchester Liverpool
like what the fuck
are you doing
yeah
someone tried to do
the apple shop
yeah
I'd definitely lose
this is the answer though
I'm definitely giving it
if everyone else
is doing it
I'd get bad FOMO me
fear of missing out
I'm not watching
someone walk around
with a brand new shit
I'm walking around like
I just better get myself home.
I've just seen Big Mama's House 2.
Nah.
Gimp.
Is that because you didn't know the film that I'd watched,
you decided you'd make it a film you knew?
Yeah, I don't know that film.
Must have been Big Mama's House 2.
Gimp.
I can live, I can live, I can live.
Should we call that an interval?
Yeah, we're going to have to.
That was fucking silly nonsense.
What's happening, lids?

That's so funny, you should ask.
I know.
Because we just be like ad lib and just freestyle here.
But I just felt the need to ask.
Yeah, well, this is the thing.
It's International Men's Day.
You got to check in on your...
Testicular health and your chili on your dick.
I was doing the good
male health thing
after I was cooking dinner
because I'm a feminist
and I was cooking dinner
chopping a chili
went upstairs
was doing away
and thought
oh I'll check
if I've got ball cancer
and
I got
a lot of chili
on my balls
and I was like
oh that's tingly
and I was like
Izzy
my balls are like
do you shave your balls
no
but still by Manscaped
or whatever
um
this guy
do you think hair
is gonna stop chilly
like getting to your balls
no but like
when you
when you shave
you cut a bit
don't you
and that would be worse
oh la la la
oh yeah
for me would be worse oh my god
well like getting a bit of chilli
in a course would be worse
yes but this was
way more sore
than I thought it was going to be
so it started
it was like a bit tingly
I was like oh shit
what were you making for tea
I was turning bolognese
into chilli
the classic right and then I I was like oh shit what were you making for tea I was turning bolognese into chilli the classic
right
and then
I
I was literally
just chopping a chilli
so it was all over
my fingers
you know with a good technique
and
scratched my balls
and then
it started to tingle
and I was like
I got some cold water
and like splashed
on my balls
whenever you
whenever you splash it
cold water
on your dick or balls
you know the day's
gone wrong innit
and then that made it
like a
what do you mean
do you not do that anyway
what
do you give your little
dick and balls
a little freshen up
of a morning
on the face
on the dick
if I'm not getting a shower
yeah
is this before or after
the hair drying
oh yeah
he's a hair dryer
do you not give your little
little ball bath
I don't do that
what sorry to take you back Vittorio He's a hairdryer. Do you not give your little ball bath? I don't do that.
Sorry to tell you about Vittorio,
to your fucking degree, but... A little ball bath?
Your tea bag, your sink.
Your tea bag, your sink.
You've done your face,
and you just put your dick up.
Up to your fucking nipples?
What was this?
No, it's classic.
What was this?
You put your dick up.
Medically smaller, this. It needs cold water. What was this? You pull your dick up. Medically smaller, isn't it?
It needs cold water.
It just keeps growing.
You pull it up.
Not having it?
I'm not having it.
You fucking dirty little man.
Can't you just spray it?
So do you get a shower every day?
Every day.
Damn.
I don't shower for something! I don't
shower for that, Jack!
Yeah, you don't shower
every day. Most days.
Who needs to when you've got the Swedish
ball bath?
He's just got a little dick bidet that
he donks his little fucking
widget. It's not a monk.
If you haven't got time for the shower,
wash your face, splash your balls,
because it can get fucking musky down there.
It won't if you just shower more.
You've got your ball deodorants as well, haven't you?
I'm only joking.
I know.
My fingers saw.
I know.
But it didn't help, the cold water.
That made it worse, so I went in and got...
It's like when you have something spicy and you drink water,
and it makes it worse
it was worse
and then
you need milk
on your dick
right there's a
there was a progression
no no no
let the man tell the story
let the man tell the story
so then I went in
because I've been having
some dick issues recently
yes
welcome to the fucking team
mine's not
mine's inactive
and Izzy's fucking
it's alright
because of lockdown
like I was away
from a girlfriend
and I'm like
a lot of the time
just too lazy
to have a wank
so yeah
right
so basically
my dick forgot
how to do everything
so it got like
super tight
and then I had to like
stretch my dick
out again
so I just
I thought I was gonna have to
because it happened
to my mate
in school
my mate had to get circumcised
at like 15 years old because his foreskin was too tight and I thought I was like oh fuck to get because it happened to my mate in school. My mate had to get circumcised at like 15 years old
because his foreskin was too tight.
I was like,
oh fuck, it's happened.
Do you know like
when you're cooking a sausage
and it just bursts out the end
but it's still like
that's what my dick looked like.
So you got too much dick
for your foreskin?
Or too little foreskin
for my dick.
And sorry,
not to sound,
I don't,
you forgot to wank
and your dick forgot
to how to get it done.
I just,
it hadn't been stretched as much
what has you been doing
it's like
do you know when
just been a summer off
or something
have you ever gone to the gym
and you've done too much
without stretching first
right right
you end up a bit sore
so when I came back to
he pulled his hamstring
in his dick
exactly
he pulled his dickstring
wow
but then it's all
because I
so I had dick moisturiser
in the bedroom
and I was like
that'll fucking solve the
specifically for your dick
no no no
but it was like Johnson's safe safe moisturiser in the bedroom and I was like that'll fucking solve the specifically for your dick no no no but it was like
Johnson's and Johnson's
safe
safe moisturiser
that I was using
for babies
oh he's fucking made up
with that one
so I went in
got that
again
worse
and at this point
it was starting to
really fucking burn
so I was like
Izzy
and I didn't
know this but she'd been like frantically googling like chili on your balls like how to fix it so she
comes upstairs with vegetable oil and philadelphia
trying to make a sandwich i was like why are you basting my I'm called fellas Oh my god
So I tried the vegetable oil
But I was like this just feels like my balls are cooking
Oh my god
And then
We filled a bowl with milk
Like you would for a cat
And I was just
Put your balls in a bowl of milk
I just dunked like a tea bag
I put the milk in first
Semi skimmed just yeah yeah obviously
lacto-free almond milk you're so london now darling
oh but then that was like helping a little bit but it wasn't really working
and then i went upstairs i was like i'm gonna get in the shower and then put the shower to the normal level but then the hot water was fucking awful so i put it to a cold
shower and just held it on my balls and that just basically numbed i've got to say though you've got
to be very very thankful that you've got a girlfriend oh you went like just like you know
it's locked down at the minute you can't
really go out for dates imagine you'd met someone and you're like yeah i'll come around i'll cook
for you and you're on a second date with someone or a first date yeah and you have to say listen
i'll finish the dinner in a minute but get the milk get the olive oil get the fucking cheese
and get your ass up here girl this will be a story for the wedding speech
fingers crossed you can't be having a one-night stand where you've got to get milk involved
yeah well to be fair it's not even better doing it on your own is it thank god you had izzy there
because if you do it on your own you pass out from the pain of the chili balls and someone finds you
just looks like you've had the worst wank in history. I've got a smashed bowl of milk on the floor,
and me just with red balls.
God, vegetable oil.
And then, so cold water for about half an hour,
and then I've got Souda Creme on my balls right now.
Oh, poor little babe.
Like a little baby.
How do they feel and smell?
They smell like Souda Cème with a hint of chilli.
Spicy pseudo-crème.
I'm concerned to all good retailers.
And then they're like a little bit tingly now,
but that could just be because we're here.
Yeah, because you're just happy.
You get bald tingles.
It's exciting to be here.
You've got to be grateful.
Have you ever had a one night stand? Yeah's never gone badly wrong like that i oh this might be worse than getting chilly on
your balls because i've i'm like a big relationship guy i was in a big relationship from 16 to 21 and
then i've been in a relationship for almost three years so there was like a little bit of time
of like a year in the middle where it was chaos that'll break it's a beautiful way to
put it and um there was i was at this birthday party and it was like do you know like have you
ever been to like a rich person's like 21st or anything where their parents put money behind the
bar and shit yeah and you're like i was like oh my god because i was skint in london i had like no
fucking money but you know when you're broke
But you know you need a night out
Yeah
To like fucking
Get it out of your fucking system
So I was like
I'll pay for the tube there
And then all my booze is paid for
Because of the fucking rich parents
So I rock up
And I just park at the bar
Because my thoughts were
Well if I'm at the bar
Everyone will
Come to the bar
and I'll say hello
to everyone
just double spice
rum and coke
double spice rum and coke
double spice rum and coke
got the order
it's fucking great order
and then
it gets to the last
the bar
the money's running low
behind the bar
and he's like
we can only give you singles
because the money's running low
and I was like
can I have two
single spice rum and cokes
and he was like
yes
I was like fucking see you two single spice roman cooks and he was like yes i was like
i can see you later and then i tell you what it's just way of pointing out if you've been to one of
those parties the bar staff hate everyone yeah because they're not getting tips yeah do you
know i mean like at a paid for bar it's the worst thing in the world but then sometimes you can
really make the bar staff happy at the end of the night when we used to work in Zeligs
there was a bar
so in the downstairs
but there was two bars
there was the main bar
and there was a little private area
that often got cornered off
on like a Friday Saturday night
for like a little private party
and if you got put on that bar
you knew
you were either going to have
your best night
or your worst night
for that month
because sometimes
they get to the end
and be like
what's the bill
£2,700
okay
yeah just put that on my card
see you in a minute and sometimes you go £2,700 okay yeah just put that on my card see you in a minute
and sometimes
you go £2,700
and they'd go
put three grand on lad
and you'd just get
like a £300
that's your tip
because that's your bar
for the night
yeah
but in general
they resent that
I worked at a bar mitzvah once
where there was money
behind the bar
and the rabbi
came up to us beforehand
and told us all the drinks
that weren't kosher
is that the right word
is that the yeah yeah the Jewish halal yeah right word? Is that the Jewish halal?
Yeah.
Yeah, kosher.
It's the Jewish halal.
They don't like it being referred to as that.
How do you know?
Have you ever asked them?
Stop doing that.
You can't ask them.
Assuming people's offence.
You fucking rat.
But people kept coming up and ordering desperados
and desperados
isn't kosher
why is it not kosher though
I had to be like
they were like
can I have desperados
and I had to be like
I thought it was just bacon
with them
no it's bacon
and like
some flavourings
and tequila infused lagers
yeah
it was really specific
but anyway
so I was
I was raking in these rum and cokes
and then I finally
I was like
I need one more drink
to be drunk enough for this to be a good night so I paid for a double spice rum and cokes and then I finally, I was like, I need one more drink to be drunk enough
for this to be a good night.
So I paid for a double spice rum and coke
when the money ran out
and I was like,
fucking great.
Went out into the dance floor
with my one paid for drink
on my one night out
of fucking like five or six months.
And this girl comes up
who we went to the same uni
but like didn't really know each other.
And I was like,
all right.
And she was like,
oh, can I try your drink?
And I was like, yeah. So she takes a sip and then i go to like we're dancing and then i go to take
it back and she just like pulls it away and starts dancing with my drink and i stop dancing and go
what the fuck are you doing and and she just gradually drinks my whole drink in front of me
and i was furious and you haven't even got the money
to buy the one the silence in this room i'm fucking skint right and then i was like i was
like what the fuck are you doing and she like grabs me and starts kissing me fair enough and
i was like all right okay and then we're kind of dancing and kissing a bit and a classic like you
know like uni party where everyone knows each other everyone's like rubbing the back of my head and like be like and um then she goes oh where do you live and i was
like oh north london she's like how long does it take to get there and i was like 40 minutes and
she's like oh i was like why where do you live she's like oh there and i was like oh cool pretty
bad by me i went i have a rehearsal near there Tomorrow morning Nice And she was like
You coming back to mine then
It was like half ten
And I was like yeah
And I assumed she meant

And then I started dancing
And she was like

was like oh you seem like you seem like such a dickhead like on stage but you're like you seem like such a dickhead, like on stage, but you seem nice now.
And I was like,

Exactly.
And she's like,

and it makes people laugh,
but it's not smart.
And I was like,

Makes people laugh?
Fucking dog dog.
But she keeps going like...
So she's grabbing...
And then we're on the tube and she keeps...
Was she just trying to emasculate you?
Maybe it was like an egg. Because she wants to dominate you. She wants she's just trying to like emasculate you maybe because she
wants to dominate

start doing the banging yeah smashing and um and as far as i could tell everyone got what they
needed from the transaction and all right the manager of HSBC. Fucking sexy talk. The world's local bank.
I'd left a deposit.
And then so I turn over to go to sleep
and then she starts grabbing me and kissing me again
and she was like, I want to fuck you again.
I was like, oh, okay.
But the first time as well,
there was zero chance of me being on top.
She like pinned my arms down and was just on top.
And I was like, okay, do it a second time.
Again, everything seems fine.
And then I turn over to go
to sleep and she grabs me and flips me over again and starts kissing me and grabbed me and shit and
i was like what the fuck romeo don't i want to fuck you again and then what we started time yeah
hang on how much time has passed between maybe like 10 minute break oh no

and you're having a good night
with a girl
I'm quite happy

When you're like, yeah, second and third go when you're sober,
they can be better.
But I was like...
Because you're not as like...
I was 19, 20.
Your first one, you're trying to get it
done as quick as, and also
you don't really enjoy the first one sometimes as a man
because you're like I've got to fucking hold this for air
and the second one you feel like I did my job the first
time, minute and a half, I'm fucking
spaffing, you've got one in the bank
do you know what I mean, second one is for

We do the third one.
Then that's enough, innit? And I turn over And she starts grabbing me
And kissing me
For a fourth time?
Yeah
She is wrong
And then
Oh no, I've got it wrong
During the third one
She stops in the middle
And makes like a
Face
And I was like
For the listeners
A fucking face
That you don't want to see
When you're fucking having sex
And I'm like
Are you okay?
And she like gets off
And she's sitting like
Oh, I'm so sorry And I was like what's wrong she's like i just get panic
attacks sometimes wow oh hey hey no and she like like she didn't know whether she wanted and i was
like it's okay like people like i get panic attacks it's okay like do you need water do you
need whatever pure couldn't decide what she wanted and then she just snaps out of it and starts
kissing me again and i'm like whoa and then she's snaps out of it and starts kissing me again and
i'm like whoa and then she's like oh no it's your time to go on top and i was like i've i've if you
just said that like this i would have but is that why she panicked she was like oh wait i've been on

And she's like, she goes, can I tell you a secret?
She sounds so crazy.
Go on.
And I go, we... But like, it's sexy crazy, innit?
Who gets in the third bunk and goes,
panic attack!
Not fine! Can I tell you like can i get a taxi you crazy bitch

think you should but i'm not going to stop you if this is about one of our uncles i swear to god
but she so i was like you can tell me if you really want to and she's like i'm gonna tell you
and she looks me in the eye and goes i've always wanted to cut someone and lick their blood.
And that's how you met Izzy.
Wow.
I believe the words I said were,
no, not me, thanks.
Oh, my God. So here's the thing. On a one night stand. Here's the thing on a one night stand there's the thing right quarter to 11
that's too early here's the thing i'm telling you right now on round four that was wasn't it
or three yeah i'd be like you fucking met on a mouse that was wasn't it or three yeah right i'd be like you fucking met

let's go let's fucking dig in girl we didn't get anything so he's on the way home who can blame
you come on Cut whatever you want
Wow
So I stopped
And I was just like
I'm gonna go to sleep
And then she's like
Fidgeting in bed
And I'm like
Yo what's up
Like what's wrong
And she's like
Sorry I just can't sleep
When someone else is in my room
And I was like
Can I
Cause I have to be up early
And so she goes
Yeah
And then she gets up
And starts like
Tidying her room
Because she can't sleep
She wants to use a bounce there Yeah Well She said she couldn't sleep her room because she can't sleep. She wants to use a bounce day, yeah.
Well, she said she couldn't sleep, I assume,
because she wasn't hanging upside down.
And she could smell garlic on your balls.
She's like, is that vegetable oil?
I can smell chilli.
I'm gone.
Well, well, well.
And in the morning, I went to leave and she went, ah, ah, ah.
And just tapped her cheek and made me kiss her on the cheek before I left.
Fair enough.
She gave you the night of your life there.
She deserves a peck.
I don't miss being single.
Although, to be fair, that wasn't really my...
You know when you went, that year was chaos.
I'm like, yeah, I see it now.
That year was chaos?
That was one night?
Yeah.
But that'd do you for a year, though, wouldn't it?
Cut me.
What do you want to do?
Some questions?
Some have a words?
Do you want to try and solve some people's problems?
We've got three have a words.
We've got some questions.
Adam?
Do one question, then do one have a word?
Comedy would you rather?
Love the pod, but would you rather get to do one sold-out show at Wembley Stadium,
but never get to do comedy again after that or only ever be able to do unpaid open mics
for the rest of your career cheers andrew jones so what you're making easy what what before we do
what you're making from a sold out wembley it's going to be a million yeah no no no oh no that's
Wembley Stadium
isn't it
so yeah
Wembley Stadium
Wembley Stadium
Wembley Stadium's
70,000 tickets
70,000 plus the pitch
so 70,000
no no no
because it doesn't work
like that
that's still only going to be
about 50,000 people
the way they'd lay it out
oh right
not worth it then
but like let's say
it's 30 quid a ticket
at 50,000 people
that's one and a half million quid
and you'll end up with a third of it.
So you're looking at about...
Half a mil.
You're looking at about half a mil.
It's life-changing,
but it's not done forever.
Right, right, right.
Can you still podcast and stuff?
Yes.
The answer is so easy.
I would do unpaid open mics forever.
Yeah.
Because I need to gig.
It's not even
close to especially because we've had the insight in the past few months of what it feels like to
never gig again yeah and it's i don't want have you been have you been this long enough have you
been the second time around because i just got it we we drank here for the lockdown locking on
saturday and on sunday i started like we i wasn't capable of gigging i was in bits like i
couldn't even finish a fucking bacon sandwich on sunday morning you were so quiet in the whatsapp
group i just someone tweeted me like dan i was like i'm not doing it uh but i i as i was sobering
up and i felt hungover i was like i thought miss gigging what have you been like the second lockdown
well it's been
Because I've kind of
Just moved in with Izzy
We've just been doing
Like loads of DIY
And stuff
And like hanging up
Pictures and painting walls
And getting
And you work hard
With your online stuff
As well
Like as soon as
As soon as the first
Lockdown happened
And same with the second one
I just started making
Loads of online stuff
Because
I need to keep the voices quiet.
Oh, okay.
Like you don't know.
Come on.
I don't have voices.
It's just my voice going,
you're going to be big, kid.
I'm going to make you a big star.
The thing is about
unpaid,
unpaid open spot gigs.
No,
open mics,
not open spots even.
Oh yeah.
They can be great
because,
you know,
we always,
we've just slagged off
junglers for the whole
of the first section.
Big parties of 40,
big parties of 30.
That commercial side
of the circuit
comes with pressure
and we've talked about promoters that are like you've got to do the job here kid
like sorry open mics everyone's just like yeah just come see some comedy you will be able to do
like in august you went and did a an open mic night and did the middle like the yeah the unpaid
middle bit yeah but they're they're actually a little bit hitting
me some places but you never get the you very rarely get the bell ends it's it's just quiet
also when you're good and you'd had an open mic night yeah you do feel a bit like fucking dave
chapelle oh let's see when when you start and then you're doing open mics for a bit and then
you consistently become like the best person and they start getting you to do 10 minutes at the end instead of five and you're like yeah
why are they on live at the Apollo instead of me and you know some of those fives like oh I think
he's fucking big balls don't he oh look at that 12 minute Vittorio yeah yeah yeah I remember because
I totally skipped the London open mics there like, I never did an open mic in London. No, same here. Never touched it.
And it's quite a fucking step to miss.
Well, I did one once,
but I was already a pro-comic.
So I was already doing a few of the clubs.
Yeah.
And I was down in London for some like filming.
And it was a Monday night.
And there used to be,
I think it was called
Soho Comedy Club
but it wasn't in Soho
it was just like
dotted around
like Covent Garden
and stuff
was it Soho
it was in
a nightclub
in like
Leicester Square
Covent Garden
area
it was a Monday night
and I had messaged
the guy who ran it
and went
look I'm a pro comic
I'm just going to be in town
I've got nothing to do
can I come and do a set
and he was like I just want to drop in is that right yeah but i had a fucking
shite london open mic so uh there was like 30 40 people in a room that held 30 to 40 people
was full great um and there was like eight to ten acts on it would all do in five and none of them
knew me because this wasn't this was before I had any Hot Water videos
and I had no profile, I was just a comic doing the clubs
but none of them knew me at all
because I was based up north, I didn't really go to London much
and there was one guy amongst those open micers
who clearly felt like he was
hey, I'm a bit of a big deal
I do the 8 minute spots, I'm not just a 5 minute guy anymore
he's the alpha open mic almost
he was a gobshiteite i don't even remember his name and he was just like really
condescending to me so he was talking like yeah so uh i recently did a tenet top secret on a
wednesday and it could be quite when you start doing gigs like that it's just you know it's a
bit different to things like this and i i was just was just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's why I dyed my hair.
And I,
I had to go on just before him.
Oh,
thank you.
Comedy guy.
Oh,
that you fucking.
Yeah.
It was really,
really fun.
Cause I come off and he went,
Oh,
you're quite good.
Really?
Aren't you?
And I was like,
yeah,
yeah.
Anyway,
I have a good one.
And he fucking did it.
I like, I like the bit the not being paid for comedy makes it you know when you do new material nights that's essentially what a new material night isn't
it for us it's the pressure of the pressure off of someone going fuck i'm paying you 300 quid
you just get to be like i'm trying this it's exciting have you got one you want to pick out or have you
um do you know in my head you look like adam driver like when i'm listening or watching the pod because you're not on camera when you talk adam driver's face is in my head who's adam driver
oh um without the beard he called it you're getting pinned for all sorts of the moment, aren't you?
He's got a very strange face.
Yeah, that's what I said.
I'll be right.
Without the beard.
Joe Melrose says,
Fucked up moral dilemma.
Your grandfather is on his deathbed.
He has devoted his whole life to charity
and he would like to leave his £1 million inheritance to charity.
Just before he dies,
he asks you to tick the box of where to leave his one million pounds inheritance to charity just before he dies he asks you to tip
the box of where to leave his money uh to you or to the entire charity you know the charity
is fraudulent but don't have time to tell him do you check your box or the charity oh you see you've
made it too easy yeah joe you've just yeah he's made it too easy to be like oh fuck it so basically
let's make it harder
let's say
it's cancer research
or me
I'm still taking me
your grandad
I'll give them a bit
I'll give them a bit
but I'm fucking
boxing myself off
what would you do
how much is it
a million quid
if grandad Ro
if grandad Ro
was on his death bed
for all the money
he got for plastering
yeah yeah
there's fucking
wedge meat
fucking cathedral the fucking yeah yeah there's fucking wedge meat fucking cathedral
the fucking
yeah
yeah
and he was like
that's him lads
hello
these plasterer hands
won't plaster
any more kids
sign the will
weirdly
there's two boxes
you
are
Macmillan's
sign that
for
tick that box
for
me how much is it about a million quid yeah I'll take it for me right Oh, Macmillan's. Sign that for, tick that box for.
Me, how much is it?
About a million quid?
Yeah.
I'll take it for me.
Right. I'll donate 20 grand to Macmillan.
That's such a small amount.
20,000 pounds.
I thought you were going to be like, half.
Two percent.
20 grand.
Two percent.
Can you imagine how happy they'd be with you though?
You'd walk in, cash, 20 grand.
Yeah, they'd be like, oh my God, you'd be in the fucking paper.
You'd be lauded as a hero, and the only person who knows is me,
and I've got a boat now.
What if everyone knows?
Same question, but people know what one is.
Your family know.
Your family are there, and he's like,
Adams, you know, he's the executor, the will.
I've made him.
Never mind, Mick.
I've trusted him. Your whole family know that you've gone, fuck McMillans will I've made him never mind Mick I've trusted him
your whole family know
that you've gone
fuck Macmillans
it's hard money
I know my family pretty well
and I reckon
five grand each
will keep them quiet
fuck Macmillans
get loads of money
we're getting fuck all
have that
I reckon
you know one of those parties
where I put the money
behind the bar
it'd take one or two of them
and they'd be like
oh Adam's alright right, really?
You know what?
Yeah.
Therefore, come on.
Let's be honest here.
When my granddad was dying...
I think two grand is bad.
My grand...
No, 20.
Oh, 20.
Sorry, yeah.
When my granddad did die,
there was about 150, 200 grand inheritance
because he had his house and a bit of savings
and there was a fucking little cunt woman over the road.
And she tried to, she was single.
She was a lesbian, right?
Look at your eyes!
Right?
Which is legal now!
Single lesbian.
She was about 40 years younger than him.
And she tried to wear my way in because he was
dying of cancer and she just she was going around every now and then getting close to him and then
towards the end when he was getting really really ill and he needed constant care from the family
the family started to notice and my granddad at one point was like you need to make sure you look
after there she was a sniveling little cunt woman who was trying to wear him away into me grandad's will because she knew he was dying.
Wow.
Fuck you, Janice.
Janice.
Was it Janice?
Janice McIntyre.
Why?
Is that the real name?
Yeah, and I don't mind naming her
because fuck her, she tried to get some of me grandad's bag.
I don't think she's a patron, though.
Doesn't matter, it's not a patron.
Is it a public episode?
It's a public episode.
Tell her I said it!
Janice McIntyre.
You're a rat.
Wow.
A fucking deathbed jumping, money grabbing cunt bag.
Joe Melrose.
And you deserve all of the bad luck that's coming to you.

Flip it, dude.
I remember a fucking shit haircut as well.
She had one of those fucking haircuts. You her fucking shit haircuts as well she had one of
those fucking
haircuts

Sex
Why didn't I I should have said that In a lighter tone really It's an honourable question. I'm just being humorous. What is your price? For what? Sex.
With who, though? I should have said that in a lighter tone, really.
Because it sounded like I was about to get the NatWest savings app out on my bank account.
Get me six Heinekens and a rum and coke.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
No, but...
Okay, then what if a Dubai billionaire says,

I don't know why Israel just got thrown under the bus was it not Israeli Dubai Shag, an Israeli nana, and Janice McIntyre. Good.
I don't know why Israel just got thrown under the bus.
Was it not Israeli?
Dubai, yeah.
Right, well, let's have a word with ourselves for coming up with that twisted fucking questionnaire.
Shall we do some Have A Word?
You all right?
Does that freak you out a bit?
It's got a bit weird, that, hasn't it?
Alright.
Hey, guys.
Just started listening to your podcast
and they make my day at work so much better.
Could you have a word...
Of course it does.
We're brilliant.
...with my absolute bellend of a brother.
He's 24 years old, on good money,
just got a promotion at work
and is still acting
like a fucking
13 year old
the most recent thing
he has done
is think that I was
using his face wash
which I am allergic to
so instead of
confronting me about it
like an adult
he pissed
in his own face wash
and put it back
expecting me to use it
God
what a fucking God
I fucking love that guy listen to this listen to this turns out he was just expecting me to use it. God. What a fucking God.
I fucking love that guy. Listen to this.
Listen to this.
Turns out
he was just leaving it open
in the shower
and my mum was closing the lid
and putting it back.
So he was pissing
in his own shower gel
in fucking
Face wash.
Face wash
in anger
because he was like
you fucking knob.
And his mum was just like
oh that's open.
Pop that back back I think
do you know what
if you think someone's using
your face cream
piss in it
yeah
yeah
Gandhi
yeah
was it Gandhi
it was Gandhi
Socrates actually
yeah yeah yeah
it's the Dalai Lama actually
oh yeah
it's easy to get them
so you mix up
yeah
didn't he burn to death
why
why are they still living
Socrates
if he's making good money.
Socrates was a footballer, but also a philosopher.
Was it the same guy?
No.
That's so candidly.
No, it wasn't.
But good question.
No, I don't think.
I mean, you're trying to make out like he's a like he's a dick
and he is a kind of dick
but it's so entertaining
yeah
the level of commitment
to be like
fuck you
and then try and piss
in the small little
I know a girl
who had
murder
with one of her
uni flatmates
this is years ago
and got her
uni flatmate's toothbrush
and scrubbed the bathroom with it and
then put it back
and there was someone
who I won't name them
um spat in the girl's
garlic mayo like she
used to have garlic
mayo on everything
one of them people
so she spat in the
bottle
oh
yeah
huh
so every time she
used garlic mayo
they were spitting
not even revenge for
anything
oh no no she hated that she didn't like you, they were spitting it. Not even revenge for anything? Oh, no, no, she hated that.
She didn't like it.
Do you know, for some reason,
it's more evil when it's a housemate,
when it's brothers.
You know, if you've got a sibling,
you know when it kicks off,
you're like, I love you,
and we'll probably be there
for the rest of each other's life,
but I want to hurt you emotionally right now.
Like...
Yeah.
But doing that to a housemate's proper evil, innit?
I mean, get yourself a job and move out, you fucking dickhead.
It's time to have a word with Vittorio.
He gives two fucks.
Yeah.
Probably it's just time to move out so no one can piss in face washers.
He's like 14.
Move out.
Yeah, yeah.
You'll be all right, lad!
You'll make it! this one's from Claire
can you have a word
with the drug dealer
who lives on my street
probably not
I already love Claire
he's put his prices up
doesn't he know
there's a recession
can you have a word
with drug dealers
make them cheaper
they're dead nice
can you have a word
with the drug dealer who lives on my street?
For family safety in general, not being a grass reasons,
I won't name the street.
But if he listens to this,
I'd like him to be more specific to his clientele about his address.
I live at the first house on a long road...
Clientel?
Cli?
Ontel?
No.
Cli?
Ontel?
I live at the first house...
Ontel of Cli. All right. I live at the first half. All right.
All right.

He's gone.
ADD's kicked in.
He's gone.
I can tell he's gone. He's not talking and you are.
That's all it is.
It's fucking brutal.
Clee on tell.
Oh, here's one for another time.
My girlfriend made me take an empathy test recently

I'm all for small businesses thriving during this pandemic,
but Jesus Christ, James, I'm not your PA,
and giving coked-up uni kids directions at 4am
is not the life I want to live.
