The Thank You Live Show, The Last Dance, My Last Ever Beat the Frog, which was one of the funniest two hours of live comedy I've ever been involved in. The Thank You Live show, The Last Dance, My Last Ever Beat the Frog, which was one of the funniest two hours of live comedy I've ever been involved in. The Ghost Hunt we did with Barry Dodds.
Starting point is 00:01:48 We also did the Laura's Gone No. 1 recording, Studio Day. That was a documentary. That's now up there. And finally, to seal the deal, we've also got four of the lockdown lock-ins. The infamous lockdown lock-ins, where we get absolutely shit-faced in the studio

For the price of a fancy coffee, once a month you pay three quid and you become a vip lid sign up at patreon.com slash have a word pod the link is in the description of this episode that's me done me gone go ads get on me enjoy the episode now i'm getting the word, nuts. Oh, you think darkness is your ally? Cha! Upset me, nasty bitch!
Starting point is 00:02:52 Disgusting! Wag wag, lids. You're listening to the funniest podcast in the game with Adam, Dan, Sensei Carl and Finn. Shut up, Finn. You good-looking, big-fingered Welsh weirdo. This is the one and only, the now infamous, the soon-to-be legendary. Have a word.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Go, Ed. Get on me. I've got a new philosophy. No, babes. No. What? Yeah. Has it changed everything? No, but it's changed something. You have been more spiritual recently.
Starting point is 00:03:43 I've decided I've got a new rule for how I make every decision in life. Uh-oh. Do you want to know what it is? Oh, God. Every business decision? No. Well, maybe.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Uh-oh. So the idea is I make a decision based on what would make the best story in five years' time. So, like, if we get to the end of it like a night if we get like midnight and you're like how should we go home or whatever and i'm like well we could go for one more drink and then we'd always go for one more drink because the answer is you'd rather go for the story that's going to be better in five years time like no one's going to remember the night we
Starting point is 00:04:18 went home at 12 o'clock but we might remember the night we went for one more drink and then ended up out with hulk hogan and one of the Chuckle Brothers. What if you get stabbed, though, when you go out? What? What happens if you get stabbed? That is another story, though. As long as you survive the stabbing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:33 It's still a better story. It's still a story for the people that survived the stabbing and Adam's dead. Do you remember five years ago when Adam got stabbed? God, should have got that fucking Uber. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're basically saying your new philosophy is at any fork in the road you take
Starting point is 00:04:46 the stupid road of like no the more interesting road right so that's always staying out yeah I'd rather be on an A road
Starting point is 00:04:54 that bends than a fork on motorway cool but you realise that every decision will be yes and with alcohol is him in the family
Starting point is 00:05:02 well yeah that was just mine if a guy goes do you want to suck my dick you're gonna be like well it's gonna make a hell of a story in five years time so five years time adam's doing a tour show oh there was this one time and a guy went do you want to suck my dick and i went nah mate i'm going home shit story when you chow down like a fucking champ i'm honestly a big finish okay i'm not gonna lie it appears there's at least one floor Nah, mate, I'm going home. Shit story. When you chow down like a fucking champ, I'm honestly a big finish. Okay, I'm not going to lie.
Starting point is 00:05:28 It appears there's at least one flaw. But not all philosophy is robust. What have you been eating today, you? Had a bacon, buddy. With mescaline in. Right. Well, I'm into it. I'm into it. It's interesting. and with that in mind hello hello this is where we're actually going um so last week i was on uh six days ago i was
Starting point is 00:05:55 on tour in leeds right and as you know i've got really into me country music over the past year or so i know i tell you what if there's ever a country musical i'll murder you that's how that's gonna go down and then carl your best friend well no i have a weird country musical i'm out we've already got a guitar do you want to start a podcast yeah i sell my shit i'm gone i'm out nice i'm out i'm like deborah out we've been studio two i'm like i remember when i was sucking on a dick five years ago i remember it was such a big old dick and i thought what would make an interesting story no it's not it's it's what bo burnham said isn't it's too it's what Bo Burnham said Isn't it It's two It's big dick Five years ago Big dick Okay

Starting point is 00:08:18 And then Thomas, as anyone who's seen last week's episode will know, I was still drunk from the night before. Yeah. So I drove us halfway to Leeds and then had to pull into a service station and give thomas my keys because i realized i was gonna kill us you you were dry i thought you were driving oh no no no it was my birthday dan oh of course it was i wasn't oh i last week there was three things going on there's one where you're like oh it's really funny when he's sort of still pissed from the Oh, I... Last week, there was three things going on. There's one where you're like,
Starting point is 00:08:48 oh, it's really funny when he's sort of still pissed from the night before. And then it teetered on to, it's kind of annoying when he's pissed on the night before. And then there was also, oh, I hope he's all right. I did the full range of like, ah, this is usually great. Wow, he's really like... And I can tell you really respect Paddy. And at the break, in the first section, you came back
Starting point is 00:09:09 and I can tell you'd have to have a word with yourself. Like, right, here we go. Here we go. So the thing is about you fighting. Guess what, Adam? You picked the wrong show to get hammered before because I don't know shit. So Cody Covington and Francis Ngarno.

Starting point is 00:09:34 He's one of the best fly heavyweights going. No, because he's fast, but he's heavy. He's a fly heavyweight. Like Cyril Gann. Cyril Gann? He's got nice clothes. He's a fly heavyweight like cyril gan cyril gan yeah he's got nice clothes i love my heavyweight cyril gan there's a new one for the lexicon love it uh yeah you were you were a bit ropey there kid yeah so i got halfway to leeds and realized that

Starting point is 00:10:11 So Tom My rule in my car Is it's my car I'm putting the fucking music on So Thomas likes death metal But that's not fucking happening You know what I mean Does he
Starting point is 00:10:19 Yeah he's a metal guy Absolutely not happening So I And country music's great For a hangover Because it's really soft. So I have my country music on. Anyway, right, park that idea for a minute.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Okay. So in Leeds last week, I did the longest post-show meet and greet I've ever done. The wardrobe? Yeah. Nice. So I did the show at the wardrobe, completely sold out.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I've never sold that room out before thanks to this wonderful podcast we're doing three dates there the third date is on sale now the first one's already done second one's already sold out and i think there's about 100 tickets left for the third one um i love that venue it's really good for an hour of stand-up it's really really good um get to see my old pal toby jones yep so i you go backstage and i just said to the audience as i do at the end of every tour show look if anyone wants to stick around for about 20 minutes i'll take a picture with you but if you want to go on that's fine but i i need 20 minutes now when i finish the show so is that like you because i'm doing this tour you're doing you've done this
Starting point is 00:11:20 before in my head you leave it a little bit so you don't just stay on stage and everyone goes, oh, fuck it while he's here. 20 minutes to just let the people who aren't that bothered just go home. So you're just getting out, you're getting the hardcore. That's maybe 1% of it.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Right. But I'm quite happy to take a picture with everyone who comes to see me and I genuinely mean that. I know we've sort of had a laugh last week with Paddy on
Starting point is 00:11:40 and talking about like people being dicks when they're asking for pictures and whatever. Different at your show though, isn't it? Yeah. If you pay for the ticket to see me,
Starting point is 00:11:46 I absolutely want to say hello and take a picture with as many people who want it. But yeah, if you know, if the people who aren't really asked go home, it's not the end of the world. Do you know what I mean? But the 20 minutes,
Starting point is 00:11:55 I just need to relax. When I've put, done an hour on stage, I haven't really got it in me to then go straight into a crowd of people who are grabbing me and taking pictures. I just haven't, I need to just tone down a bit have a have a glass of coke or a bottle of water or a cup of tea or something and then i'll go back out and speak to people so i've done
Starting point is 00:12:15 that and as you're saying like oh well a lot of them will have got off a lot less than would normally have got off had got off because the bar upstairs in the wardrobe was staying open until 11 or midnight. And the show started at half seven, so it was done by 10, maybe half nine even. So I go upstairs and there's at least 100 people waiting. So I'm going from person to person to person. I've just got a bottle of water and Thomas is doing the same.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Thomas is sort of two groups of people behind me. So someone deals with me. And then two minutes later, they're talking to Thomas. And he's talking to everyone as well. And then Thomas. Because he loved, didn't he? That episode was so popular. Yeah, and he's also smashing it on the tour.
Starting point is 00:12:58 He's doing really well. So I'm just walking around. And Thomas comes up to me and goes, should we have one pint? I said, yeah. I went and get me a shandy, a Lagator. So I ended up having two. But those two shandies took me till midnight to drink because there was so many people around.
Starting point is 00:13:16 We got talking to, this girl comes over and she's there with her fella. I said, can I get a picture? She goes, my fella's sister loves you and she's gone to the toilet and it'll do it if can i get a picture she goes my uh my my fella's sister loves you and she's gone to toilet and it'll do it i don't know if we've got a picture or whatever and then the sister comes over and we got talking and the brother and his missus were definitely trying to pimp his sister out to fuck me and get me to fuck her that was happening it there was no subtlety to it it was like fuck each other it was
Starting point is 00:13:45 well I was like I can't I've got to take Thomas back to Liverpool but I stayed with them all night they were really funny they're all actually coming again to see me in London as well
Starting point is 00:13:52 nice because one of them lives down there but we're having a really good laugh they were nice people so then the lights go on I didn't realise but it took so long that like
Starting point is 00:14:01 last orders is done and they're closed in the bar and we go outside and the girl the girl had been sort of so long that like last orders is done and they're closed in the bar and we go outside and uh the girl the girl had been sort of that they were trying to push me towards she's dead sound name's jemma she goes oh by the way um i run a vintage american sportwear shop in leeds i went yeah it's called blue collar it's called blue collar boys oh my god they've just been in I went, yeah. Is it called Blue Collar? It's called Blue Collar Boys.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Oh my God, they've just been in touch with me on Instagram about a month ago and went, oh, we want to send you some stuff. Yeah, and she said you blanked her. Mate, I've been meaning to send, I got back in touch and then I've not sent my size. Large. So, Raidersiders Browns Saints
Starting point is 00:14:46 Pittsburgh Steelers so the reason I brought up the country music thing before Dolphins is for me Blue Collar Boys
Starting point is 00:14:53 is one of my favourite Luke Combs songs well I know it I know and it is named after it you love it don't you but listen to this full circle
Starting point is 00:15:01 I know you don't believe in like angels and spirits but the last song that was playing as we arrived at the place was Blue Collar Boys, which is impossible because he never listens to it. I know he does. He listens to it all the time. I think it's Anro looking down going,
Starting point is 00:15:15 God, my Adam loves, you know, second-hand American sports wear and this song. But then the girl who runs the shop goes, if you're ever back in Leeds Come to the shop Or I could just let you in now And you can have first dibs on all the new stuff we've got in Shut the fuck up
Starting point is 00:15:35 I'll be playing Leeds on October the 6th And October the 20th And rate No Oh you fucking Michigan Michigan State And rate. No. Oh, you fucking. Michigan. Michigan State.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Oh, my God. You fucking rat. It says me gone if you look at it from here. Michigan. Michigan. I'll doubt what we do. Oh, no. That's the call. Oh, Jesus. it oh jesus oh fucking nice so i followed them on instagram and then never got back to her it is so i took loads of pictures there it honestly it's like a porn store there's so much good stuff i
Starting point is 00:16:21 could have spent so much money in there i got this I got you that I tried to get some dolphins thing for him I tried to get a vikings thing for him I tried to get something else for Steve but I was like do you know what
Starting point is 00:16:30 we need to just go back and pick stuff when today yeah we're doing podcast oh yeah fuck's sake
Starting point is 00:16:39 what I was doing how cool is this twice a week vintage Michigan State uni yeah you're on twice a week, aren't you? Then we'll do my actual job. Jim Harbour's Michigan State.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Yeah. Do you know their ground? Could you just look up the Michigan State stadium? Because I think it's 120,000 capacity. It's one of the biggest in the world. University? Yeah. They get more.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Do you not know about the college football? No way. I know it's big, but I didn't think it was fucking 120K. 75K. Still, I mean, the record attendance is 80. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:17:17 I'm disappointed. It's still a lot of people to go. I thought there was more at Michigan. They don't have children. Just 75,000. Some of them are like 24. As big as national fucking stadiums. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:29 People play like college football, so they're like 24. I think you've got five years. You've got five years. From 18? 18, 19, yeah. I don't know the rules exactly, but there's a minimum they have to do,
Starting point is 00:17:42 and there's also like a max they can do. But before they can go pro. So yeah, like... And it's a big controversy that never really gets there's also like a max they can do. But before they can go pro. So yeah, like... And it's a big controversy that never really gets talked about. It just gets stumbed. But they can't be paid. If you're a college athlete,
Starting point is 00:17:54 you do not get paid to play in those games with 80,000 people watching. However, there was a change a year or two ago. They can now get image rights. Right. Because they were about to get... It was about to get, it was about to get overhauled completely because say Michigan State,
Starting point is 00:18:09 who are one of the sort of big 15, like universities, maybe 20, maybe 10, 15, quite historic. They're in the same division as Ohio State, which are one of the, Buckeyes are one of the best. And Jim Harbaugh is on a contract.
Starting point is 00:18:24 He's the coach. He came from, do you remember when the 49ers were in the Super Bowl about 10 years ago with Kaepernick, who went on to take the knee against the flag and against police brutality? He was his head coach. Quite a groundbreaking coach, bit of a divisive character. He's on about $10 million a year at Michigan State.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Like, it's huge, huge levels of coaching contracts at the biggest university. Yeah, I think it was, yeah. And then the players for years have just not been allowed to, is it the NCAA, if they get involved, if there's any bribery
Starting point is 00:18:57 or any kickbacks or any like, cool, maybe we'll buy you a car. They can ban you from college football and like take away the first however many years of your professional career it's dodgy as fuck whereas say if you're a young lad in the premier league what how old was cess fabregas when he won a fucking premier league medal i think he was 16 wasn't he like if you're good enough at 17 and you're in the first
Starting point is 00:19:18 team i know it there's i know they're not giving you 150 grand straight away but those lads who are premier league starlets they're on 30 grand aren't they away but those lads who are Premier League starlets they're on 30 grand aren't they? They're on 40 grand. I know Mason Greenwood's a terrible example but those lads
Starting point is 00:19:32 who are in the first team and banging goals in at 18 will probably be on... I wonder what Harvey Elliot's on at the minute. Google Harvey Elliot Liverpool wage. 50?
Starting point is 00:19:39 40? No, no, no. He's 18. I reckon 22 at the minute. And it'll be... But they had to... He must be worth...
Starting point is 00:19:48 15 grand a week. Right. But I mean, he's probably months away. Even Curtis Jones as well is on 15. But isn't he... He must be months away from a new contract, Harvey Ellivet. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Because they don't... Those young lads, they don't wait till the contract's done, don't they? They don't go, well, you signed 15. They can't like... When Rashford was coming through, he gets every year and a half,
Starting point is 00:20:07 they're like, right, you've moved up. Yeah, because his weight's going up, isn't it? So they need to... And also, they just know that... So clubs have a lot less negotiating power in transfer dealings with other clubs if their player's on a low wage. So, like, let's say Harvey Elliott.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Like, he's already actually turned down Real Madrid to come to Liverpool. It's actually quite cute, the story. So like, let's say Harvey Elliott, like, he's already actually turned down Real Madrid to come to Liverpool. It's actually quite cute, the story. So when he was at Fulham, there was three clubs interested in signing him, which was,
Starting point is 00:20:31 I believe, Man United, and he was just like, no, because he's a lifelong Liverpool fan. Real Madrid and Liverpool.
Starting point is 00:20:37 They were the three clubs after Harvey Elliott. That means you're very good at 16, doesn't it? Or was he 15? 15, 16. But that's literally a kid, right? And he got sent to the Bernabeu, got given a full tour of the Bernabeu by, doesn't it? Was he 15? 15, 16. But that's literally a kid,
Starting point is 00:20:45 right? And he got sent to the Bernabeu, got given a full tour of the Bernabeu by, is it Perez? Is it Florentino Perez? Florentino Perez, yeah. And he was like, so do you want to sign for Real Madrid?
Starting point is 00:20:53 And he went, no, I don't like what Sergio Ramos did to Mo Salah in the Champions League final, so I don't want to play here. But just took the tour. And he turned them down based on the very deliberate foul
Starting point is 00:21:05 great tackle yeah from a defender's point of view it was but horrific from a Liverpool fan's point of view you know when these kids go wrong you're like
Starting point is 00:21:13 what do you expect you've got Florentino Perez a fucking multi-millionaire one of the giants of sort of like Spanish football showing you around
Starting point is 00:21:23 sucking up to you going do you wanna hey this is where, you know, all the Galacticos played. You'll be a potential future lender. And you're 16, 15, 16 years old and your mam's like following you around going, Harvey, you're right.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Would you like it? You like paella? What do you think? Because they're buying us a fucking villa, Harvey. No, no, mam. I want to go to fucking Crosby. But if he's on 15 grand a week at the minute
Starting point is 00:21:47 and Real Madrid come in now say or Barcelona or a big club come in and go we'll give you 15 million for them and Liverpool go
Starting point is 00:21:54 no he's a 100 million pound player already then they go so why is he on 15 grand a week and then he can go well why am I on
Starting point is 00:21:59 15 grand a week but you're on 100 million for me fair enough so that's why they give them more money yeah
Starting point is 00:22:03 which is fair yeah yeah I know these kids go wrong a lot of them but if you look at how many of these young lads have this level of money influence fame and whatever i i know what happened with mason greenwood is fucking horrific and everything but it's almost a surprise that more of these lads aren't off the fucking rails because the amount of responsibility on their shoulders and the money and the like it's incredible that only a few of them go fucking wrong and i'm not i'm not that's that sounds like i'm being really flippant about what happened with mason greenwood it was horrific but this is so it's such a weird state of affairs
Starting point is 00:22:42 for a 16 year old 17 year old 17-year-old to have men, like grown working class men in a stand going, fucking Harvard! It's got to be something to do with man management. It's a very, very difficult part of the, not that we're going to go into too much detail about it, because it would be libelous, and I imagine there's a court case coming,
Starting point is 00:22:59 but like with the rumours and the allegations and the allegedly against Mason Greenwood, it's a very difficult part of that conversation to have because to bring up the idea of, oh, these guys are treated like royalty, so of course he's going to feel entitled and of course some of them are going to end up abusive like that, seems very dismissive of a victim's very real trauma and what they've gone through but it isn't it's
Starting point is 00:23:29 these problems don't get solved without having difficult parts of the conversation and the fact that these lads from the age of 15 16 are worshipped by 80 000 or 50 or 60 000 people that is contributing to this entitlement that is very apparent and obvious in those alleged recordings of that particular footballer. But there's not many of them doing it. And the abuse is maybe the wrong thing. Yeah, but we don't even know that for sure.
Starting point is 00:23:57 There's a lot of very high-powered lawyers involved. Like this clip from Greenwood was never meant to see the light of day do you know what i mean someone's leaked it well there's chat that she was hacked and then allegedly it was leaked on her instagram like like look we really can't we're getting into really dicey no no you can't we can't talk about maybe maybe it's easier to talk about he's an absolute scumbag and there is no excuse for it but just because there isn't an excuse for it doesn't mean there aren't contributing factors to it.
Starting point is 00:24:26 And that's the conversation that needs to be had. And that's the conversation that you can't have on Twitter because Twitter is very polarizing. And there's one side of Twitter where it's like, you know, he's scum. It doesn't matter the way he's come through and whatever. And that's absolutely right. It doesn't matter that he's worshipped every week.
Starting point is 00:24:42 That doesn't entitle him to do and behave the way he is. But that doesn't mean that that isn't contributing to that and that is a conversation that a lot of people are not quite ready to have and these football clubs work really really hard on on on this don't they from a young age the more potential you have the more focus there is on their like their responsibilities their home life they do. You don't see any of this, but these young lads are managed and coached and developed. They have financial advisors. They have people looking after them.
Starting point is 00:25:13 They're getting lessons from their employee that most 16-, 17-year-old fucking apprentices or A-level students are in a childlike dream compared to them. They're getting told. That's why clubs want them in a relationship, don't they? They lean on them. You see footballers having kids at 22, 21, and it's almost standard fare.
Starting point is 00:25:32 The football clubs are leaning on them to settle down because the home life gives them stability. I honestly think a 25-year-old football player, in many ways that they have to live their life, is so much more mature than your average British 25 25 year old lad i don't know mature in some senses of like financial ability and house but in terms of i mean we street like being streetwise but in terms of like not know how the world works probably not well yeah i mean i mean look at molly may i know she's not a footballer but she's so just like just like attached and it's a May I know she's not a footballer but she's so like attached into the world
Starting point is 00:26:05 because she's just been shown oh you're amazing she doesn't know what the world is anymore but Molly May is also stupid and that's not her fault
Starting point is 00:26:12 no that's what I mean it's just what she's thick as fuck do we not want Molly May on she can come on if she wants
Starting point is 00:26:20 but I'll tell her to her face she's thick as fuck she's an idiot and that's not her fault she isn't intelligent what are we doing what do you mean
Starting point is 00:26:29 what are we doing what's just happened here he's brought Molly May up as a good I thought we were getting Molly May on how are we gonna have you got her number
Starting point is 00:26:38 I thought you mean Paddy the Paddy's mate from the UFC no oh my god you absolute moron that's Molly McCann right I honestly thought You mean Paddy the Baddies mate from the UFC? No! Oh, my God. You absolute moron. That's Molly McCann.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Right. I honestly thought we were talking about... Molly May is a girl from Love Island who said a couple of... We were talking sport, and I honestly thought you started talking about the female UFC fighter. Can you put two photographs in here, side by side, of me for Molly McCann and Molly May
Starting point is 00:27:05 and show who Dan has just got confused do you think it was the visual that confused me though Adam look just go back to that last one go back to that last one Finn look she fights in the UFC regularly she is oh because that's the mistake I made
Starting point is 00:27:19 she's fighting for the belt you fucking pranic I meant I honestly thought we'd gone from sports people and you were talking about and i was like why are we talking about hard as nails ufc fighter that we definitely want on are you sure you want to say that yeah i'll call a fucking stupid
Starting point is 00:27:35 adam's gonna get banged out on the podcast they are the opposite one of them is salt of the earth everybody yeah but they're not the opposite fucking name are they yeah cool cool nice one oh my god i like i know we go past the line sometimes i was like i honestly don't know what's happening i'm gonna get my business partner fucking ko'd right cool yeah molly may yeah did you see what happened with molly may i thought we wanted to get her did you see what happened with mo May? I thought we wanted to get her on. Did you see what happened with Molly May? So this is old news now. And it's only because it's come up in the conversation. She did an interview where she said,
Starting point is 00:28:12 everyone's got the same 24 hours in the day. And basically, if you're poor, you're not working hard enough. So Carl brought that up because he's talking about the fact that there's young people who are very successful and don't have the maturity of normal life. But she's not had the same training that young footballers have had. If anything, it proves my point. She's got a publicist, though. Yeah, okay, but not from the age of 16.
Starting point is 00:28:35 She's not been, she's had... What? Okay, no, but I get it. But, like, these footballers are part of an institution that guides them. And to be fair, when it comes to abuse, that's a separate thing. But I'm just talking about in the NFL, there was a cornerback called Eli Apple that we all watched in the Super Bowl, plays for the Bengals.
Starting point is 00:28:57 And he was a first-round cornerback. He got picked by, I think, New York, the Giants. And they got criticized within a season for it because they were like yeah he's a fucking idiot he's an absolute idiot and it was in all of the scouting they did maturity and like how sensible they are is part of the thing that some nfo franchises look for they don't talented fast incredible twitch really good player at the position what are they like off the field he's so thick. He'd been relying on his mum for all of his cutlery, his washing, his washing up. He'd not done anything. He'd not done any clothes washing and gets moved to New
Starting point is 00:29:34 York and was wearing clothes one time and wasn't putting them in the laundry. He was just putting them in a bin and then going out to buy new clothes i just hadn't he had no idea how to live and was just constantly like ringing people at the giants going i don't know how to do this thing and they were like oh my god we've we've employed a talented nine-year-old like so have we yeah when he chooses to be but i mean this this kid and he's bounced around yeah that's can't say much about that no okay i've just bought new clothes instead of buying instead of washing old ones i have got halfway through the edinburgh fringe before i realized i haven't washed anything and then just gone on both 14 new t-shirts and 14 new pairs of undies
Starting point is 00:30:21 you need honestly the way you like i know molly may sounds like a fucking horrible snitchy tori but you need i'm gone you oh no oh no no i didn't say paddy mcginnis um anyway so just no i just needed success like the the way you live you it's great you're getting it and And this is only the start, but it's sort of necessary because you've got a little bit of a, you know. You told me about the piece of furniture that nearly went to the hammer yesterday. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:55 So yesterday I built two Billy bookcases and I put the back of one of them on the wrong way. It's got 27 nails in the back to keep it on. So you cannot take them off. 27? And then I literally flipped it around. I was like, oh, I put it on the wrong way. I nearly...
Starting point is 00:31:08 I nearly broke it and just went and bought a new one. I would love to see the recording of you go 26, 27. Lovely. Look at that, R-Jack. Fuck! That is not far from what actually happened. Go proper Molly May on them. I went, no!
Starting point is 00:31:27 And Jack went, what? I went, look, it's the fucking wrong way around. And he's like, right, we'll try and get it out. It was impossible to get it out, so I've come to the conclusion I'm just going to paint it. That's the thing, so they just paint it white. What are you laughing at? Just have it brown.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I'll put a picture in here. It looks ridiculous. Like cardboard brown. Would have been great to see you kick the fuck out of a Billy Buck case, though. It looks ridiculous. Oh, is it like chipboard? Like cardboard brown. Oh, right, okay. Would have been great to see you kick the fuck out of a Billy Buck case, though. I just want to say, we've just done... Proper Martin McGuinness.

Starting point is 00:37:48 I know you think you are is the most passive aggressive thing I know you think you are oh yeah first time at Paul's this is first time for me at Paul's wedding number two for me I've gone up the gears we had a bit of a heart to heart recently
Starting point is 00:38:03 to sort of admit that I'd been a bit of a heart to heart recently right to sort of admit that I'd been a bit dismissive of him when he started out which is not a nice conversation to have when he basically went I really cared about
Starting point is 00:38:12 your opinion and I didn't think you gave a fuck about me and I was like I'll be honest the first seven or eight years of me being a comic I was an arrogant little shit
Starting point is 00:38:18 and I was quite dismissive of a lot of people was this at my birthday yeah we were all bevved up he told me about this actually yeah yeah and it was
Starting point is 00:38:26 that's not wrong with that that was quite mature good way to deal with it I knew soon after that I just had a it's funny talking about those
Starting point is 00:38:34 lads who play football comedy was too easy for me early doors and I thought I was fucking great and I really lacked humility
Starting point is 00:38:42 I turned professional at 23, 24 there must be parallels that you start out and you're like I'm fucking great and i really lacked humility i turned professional at 23 24 this there must be parallels that you start out you're like i'm fucking great and then the when you get a little bit older you're like ah i'm more i was just more generous and considerate like i was pretty brutal for deciding who was doing shite comedy and i look back at the absolute dog shit i was doing i hate my first three or four years of comedy i would cringe watching the stuff that you should hate your old stuff though i think that's a sign
Starting point is 00:39:10 that you're developing as a comic hating your old but my stuff 10 years ago i thought it was good comic like i don't want to do it loads yeah i got bored of it but um i was i was a bit dismissive and we had a heart-to-heart where he was like yeah i noticed it and i knew it and it sort of hurt my feelings i was like i'm gutted and I knew it and it sort of hurt my feelings and I was like I'm gutted that that's the case and that's not because of Paul's success
Starting point is 00:39:31 that's because he's an excellent comic if he'd had no success and he was an excellent comic I'd still be gutted very underrated comic I think Paul for all the success he's got
Starting point is 00:39:38 I think amongst comedians he's seen as that guy who does crowd work and who's got lucky and they've never actually seen him put an hour together fucking hell just stand in the room
Starting point is 00:39:47 and watch him work and also he's one of our mates and because he's back on soon because I've been April I think because I'm close with you he and I are in each other's world
Starting point is 00:39:57 a little bit more and you're like yeah that was great his birthday we had a fucking it's been a long time since we had him on last time we had him on was with Lars wasn't it
Starting point is 00:40:04 and he messaged me because they're about to start kickstart their their podcast together and he asked could he come back on i was like of course you can i love i love laura she's grateful she's really good laura loves as well because she's just got that thing that she's got you know she's a smart woman she very successful in everything, but she's also got that thing where she's just a little less filter than I think a lot of, like, Laura, I know, my sister, a lot of the women in my life are very high filter, like, oh, my God, what if that person thinks that? And I like how Laura's just like, ah, fuck that.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Go fuck yourself. She's got a nice level of that. She's got a bit of balls. Did you see that she opened for him in Birmingham last week? What? She gave it a bit of balls. Did you see that she opened for him in Birmingham last week? What? She gave it a go. She did her first ever gig at the OTA Academy in Birmingham. I think she's only getting
Starting point is 00:40:51 that because she's shagging him. Maybe the first to see it. I'm very, hey, listen, I'm very pro-women in comedy, but she slept away into the position there. I'm saying, fuck. How long did she do position I don't know yeah she did a set
Starting point is 00:41:07 love her I think it's great ballsy so Laura tour starts in September let's tighten that set up because these fucking tour supports

So if I'm in the house and they kick off, she looks to me like, you're my cousin slash basically my brother.

Starting point is 00:50:59 Fucking oh lord It's the longest one Isn't it? And it gets daft Yeah yeah The best horses Are not in the Grand National The best horses Fucking all that. It's the longest one, isn't it? And it gets daft. Yeah, yeah. The best horses are not in the Grand National. The best horses are at Cheltenham.
Starting point is 00:51:11 They're like... No, no, no, no, no. They compete in both. No, no, no, no, no. No, they don't. Yeah, they do. The absolute best horses in the country are at the Gold Cup in Cheltenham. They're like the Lamborghinis and the fucking McLarens.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Yeah, but is that a steeplechase or is that flat running that's flat running yeah this is a steeplechase are they two different horses two different races they don't do both do they
Starting point is 00:51:31 I think some of them do the Grand National is longer more dangerous the amount of deaths they have yeah but the best horses it's like
Starting point is 00:51:39 so a steeplechase and a flat running one the very best horses can do both it's like Federer. He can play on any course. Yeah, but if one course was going to break his ass. I think it's very dangerous, the Grand National, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:51:53 Yeah, so is the Roland Gallos. Is it? Yeah, because they slip and slide again. Do you know, that's why I don't watch the French Open because there's so many tennis players have to be shot behind a curtain. Two horses have won both. In what year?

There's a shortage as well. Diesel is like 139 a gallon. If you're at the BP garage and you think diesel is getting expensive,
Starting point is 00:54:05 wait till you have Frankl's cum. Bloody hell. We are at the most expensive horse semen. What is that job? It's six and a half grand. I'm guessing that's her squared. Can we use that? Can we use some of the Patreon money to get six and a half grand's worth of horse cum
Starting point is 00:54:21 and just have it in a jar back there? What a flex that is. Oh, that's just Franklkel's cum in a jar. That'd be fucking amazing. Just a jar of Frank cum. That's the best flex ever. Yeah, that's expensive cum. For my horse.

No, they come with a little thing, don't they? You wank them off.
Starting point is 00:54:47 You don't have to take a horse. I thought you had to take a horse. You can lead a horse to come, but you can't make her drink it. Imagine if you spent six and a half grand and the horses are like flirting with each other and then Frankel gets hard like... And then you're nagging. You're like, go on, love, go on.
Starting point is 00:55:11 We're going to make some expensive horse racing babies. And then she just starts going... Swallows the whole load. You'd be like, no! I should not have Googled this.

Starting point is 01:00:26 Like a 30... It's like a whiskey that's been frozen. It's still 30 years old because it hasn't been matured. No matter how old it gets. Like, I've got a bottle of Lagavulin 16 in my house. That's always a 16-year-old whiskey, no matter how long I keep it for. No, you're 30. Your jizz isn't 30 what are you talking about no the makeup of him

He was a settled down little baby talking about house prices. It's the same fucking jizz, isn't it? No, but the overall health of your body contributes to your jizz health.
Starting point is 01:01:15 I thought you were literally changing the personality of the baby that's born from that jizz. It sort of is, though. No, it's sort of not. As you get into your 30s and 40s, aren't there more chances of being problems? Yeah. That surely it no but that's just because they're just like i'm so tired yeah but that's what i'm talking about that's what i'm talking about so like if i jizz now oh healthy healthy jizz if i do it in 15 years a 45 year old dog tie bars come it's just gonna be

Starting point is 01:13:44 You have been very busy you've been touring for a while where you've you're about to go on your own tour which we want to plug for you where can people get tickets for that uh my website which is sean mclaughlin fuck what is it what is it sean mclaughlin comedy.com cool so good luck spelling that and you're going all over the uk all over the uk and europe and europe dates coming on the 14th of march and on top of announce on top of your own way because you've got uh album out a special out which i've seen which was hail mary which is one of the best shows i've ever seen at the edinburgh festival i came away from watching your hail mary show what was that 2018
Starting point is 01:14:22 yeah really annoyed you know when you watch a comic that you really like but you get but i say so far it doesn't sound like a compliment no no i mean it as a compliment though like you know when you watch a comic that you really like and you come away and they've put a show together and it's not just an hour of bang bang bang punchline peppered stand-up but then it all makes perfect sense. And every little bit is tied together. Annoyingly good. I watched it with my ex-girlfriend. And my ex-girlfriend, she's very anti-religion.
Starting point is 01:14:56 And when I told her it was called Hail Mary and there was a religious aspect to parts of it, she was like, oh, fine. Well, then we're going to watch something I want to watch later. And she loved your show more than anything else we've seen that year oh that's really nice it was annoyingly good i've never seen sean do anything but great comedy even when he dies it's fucking great no i'm not even i'm not even joking i've seen you have weird gigs and i've got the end of it and that gone that was all the crowd's fault. They're fucking Muppets. Oh, thanks, man. I've never seen you do anything
Starting point is 01:15:26 but absolutely exceptional comedy. In Norway, where they were like, it was still a gem watching you. Like, it was so good. That was the best, that weekend we did in, was it the latter?
Starting point is 01:15:39 The Oslo. One of the best comedy clubs. And we were the only two English speakers. Have you ever talked about this on the pod? I have. I've done, because we had such a nice time. They put us in a nice hotel. I enjoyed Oslo from start to finish.
Starting point is 01:15:50 You were great company. It was all fun. But the latter comedy club is exceptional. It's like Comedy Store, even nicer than the Manchester Comedy Store, but it sort of got that feel. It was the intro of, and because these people are white in my head and in everyone else's head i can do the
Starting point is 01:16:10 do i really do because i don't want to be culturally insensitive but it really was a whole night of like handy and then oh my god i'm like you're right and they're like yes like everyone just i find that english it's so mental i do a fair i well i do a fair few gigs on the continent because i don't get booked in the uk um but whenever i get i do uh a few gigs in the netherlands uh and i did some at the back end the last year and it's the same. It's like everyone is Dutch and then you hear your name and suddenly you have to talk in English and it's creepy. It's like you're in The Sims.
Starting point is 01:16:51 And then suddenly you go, it was like, what are these idiots? What's going on? Sean McLaughlin. Sean McLaughlin. You go on there, stink the place out. No. Fucking get the fuck out of there. Well, they loved you in Norway.
Starting point is 01:17:04 Yeah, yeah. It did very good. Yeah, yeah. It de very good. Yeah, yeah. It's pretty good. But thank you very much. Yeah, do come see the show, whether I do well or die. What's the show called?
Starting point is 01:17:14 It's called So Be It. So Be It. I'm excited for it, really. Where are you going on the continent? Where's the, obviously it's the UK tour. They're all pretty much the same sort of places, doing the big places.
Starting point is 01:17:27 But where in Europe is your, where's that? I mean, where does that look like? You can't, have you not announced it? Can it be said? Yes. I assume some of the European tour dates are on the back of opening for Ricky Gervais. Yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 01:17:38 Which is something we should mention. So you are Ricky's regular and only support act on his arena tour. On his last one, yeah. Yeah. We saw it in Manchester. Oh, great. When was that?
Starting point is 01:17:50 August. Yeah, they were fun shows. Yeah, it was great. They were like the first big indoor events since COVID, I think. We did the two dates of the Apollo, and then we did Leeds on the Saturday, Leeds Arena. Which looked massive. It was fucking dumb.
Starting point is 01:18:06 It was like fucking dumb. It was 12,000 people. COVID was still a thing. And when he came out, genuinely, it was like Elvis could have come back from the dead and wouldn't have got a bigger reception. So yeah,
Starting point is 01:18:18 it's a really cool job to get. And off the back of it, hopefully you sell a few more tickets. But Ricky's got a maniacal fan base hasn't he especially because in the the culture war over the past few years he is very staunch down there i'll say whatever the fuck i want that team i tend to lie in the middle of the of the offence in comedy and like what you can and can't say and i think people have got right to be upset and whatever but it is fans are so like ricky is a frontline soldier for a certain type of someone with a certain opinion
Starting point is 01:18:45 on comedy I guess so I mean I I also don't really have that big of a an opinion on it yeah I think he probably doesn't have that big an opinion I mean he does talk about it a lot he's definitely I mean you know he's very open he's a big free speech guy he thinks that's what comedy is uh but I actually to be honest i still think most people just go see him because they find him funny yeah i mean i think it's it's easy to get caught up with comedy these days about we're all soldiers in this war yeah really yeah i mean i think recent events have proved that we're not i want to tell my fingering jokes in peace it's not we're not soldiers we're just we're just telling telling jokes and that's it really.
Starting point is 01:19:26 But you've done, you've opened for a couple of the really big names in comedy and one of your albums is called Support Act, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Is that off the back of doing a bit of the support for the bigger guys? Yeah, I mean, that's sort of,
Starting point is 01:19:38 I always, that seems to be the role that I do okay at. I opened, because I remember a fair few years ago i opened for katherine ryan when she was breaking through and that was amazing and then i opened for doc brown and that was amazing and then we saw you at bill burr yeah bill burr that's right which you did the same tour didn't you i did the year after at the royal albert hall so we've seen you at the royal albert hall open for bear yeah god that was great wasn't it yeah it's really yeah it's cool isn't it like we i i just
Starting point is 01:20:05 went to the first one because bill bear was over in the uk he's one of my favorite comics and it there was no announcement of who the support act was going to be and then i'd seen a comic who i won't name arrive at the venue in a car and i was like oh they'll be opening and it wasn't you and that and then i'm sat in the audience going oh it's good and then yeah yeah ladies i'm sean mclaughlin and you were great that night oh thanks man thanks yeah i going, oh, it's good. And then ladies and gentlemen, Sean McLaughlin. And you were great that night. Oh, thanks, man. Thanks.
Starting point is 01:20:27 Yeah. I mean, it's pretty cool. I do think tour support is the best job you could have in comedy. I don't know if you'd agree. It is the most glory for the least amount of effort. I'm basically doing exactly what I would do for 50 quid in Scarborough.
Starting point is 01:20:45 But because I'm before someone famous, people think, oh, wow, he must be, he must be like, I'm playing Bill Burr's audience without the hassle of having to become Bill Burr. Sometimes. It's so good. It's so good. Sometimes they're a bit like,
Starting point is 01:21:01 no, we're not here for you. Is that the only downside of the support act is when they're like, oh, who are you're not here for you. The only downside of the support act is when they're like, oh, who are you? And then you can win them over. Definitely. Yeah, I mean, you do have to take a few hits to the ego.
Starting point is 01:21:13 I mean, yeah, doing the stuff with Ricky in particular because his fans are so diehard. And sometimes you're just doing huge venues and the audience is still coming in. I mean, I go on stage and if I'm lucky, sometimes the like
Starting point is 01:21:26 arenas are half full and you go i'm gonna eat some shit for 10 minutes and then i leave and i go how was it yeah it's empty now i've got my 20 it's empty now um but yeah it's weird it's funny that that's um the biggest one for that and by the way this is all great it's all i mean it's amazing it's the best job I'll probably ever get. Yeah. Opening for Ricky. But we did two nights at Wembley Arena. And you go, fucking Wembley Arena.
Starting point is 01:21:52 Oh my God. Is that 20,000 people? No. God, I hope not. Then I really did have a quiet gig. I think it's like, it's not the biggest anymore. But it's Wembley you know
Starting point is 01:22:06 I think it might be the old two that's 20,000 yeah 12,500 didn't need that didn't need that mate actually
Starting point is 01:22:13 cut that one yeah so in hindsight I did die really did struggle didn't I I made that 12,500 sing
Starting point is 01:22:23 like a 60 seat studio in the Pleasant the pleasant courtyard I really did but no but the thing is with it is people are coming in late Wembley's a really hard thing to it's a hard venue to get to yeah given that it's in London and it's really famous yeah and it's no fault of the venue and it's no fault of anything it's just how it goes it's not full when I go on I mean that makes sense people aren't there for you and so I you know I built up Wembley in my head
Starting point is 01:22:45 and you go there and the best bit of the gig is the first 10 seconds because you go, hello, Wembley. And then silence hits and then you go, all right,
Starting point is 01:22:54 back to work. But it is cool. Does Ricky announce you from off stage? Yeah, he does. He does. And that, I think that makes
Starting point is 01:23:04 a huge amount of difference. Yeah, yeah. Huge amount. Yeah. I mean, it really makes a lot of difference when they go out and do 10 minutes and then get you on. Yeah. Jason Manford did that on his tours last year
Starting point is 01:23:14 and you were like, as you were shaking his head, like, thank you. Yeah, yeah. Because it's so, he's like basically guiding you on, like, hi everyone. I'm going to make you laugh for a bit and then I'm going to introduce a friend who's validated by me shaking his hand as he walks on it's easy that's nice isn't it are you going to do that on your tour are you going to compare and bring your support acts on
Starting point is 01:23:33 oh yeah i'm being a selfish twat me i'm just sending them on are you all right because i need yeah the way i'm gonna do i'm gonna hire jason manford to do 10 minutes before my support act and then i'm going to go on. I am hemorrhaging money with it. I am hemorrhaging, mate. I think there's a way of building up. You don't have to introduce people, but even on your social medias, if you're like, this is my tour.
Starting point is 01:24:01 Because on here, we've had Thomas Green on, Vittoriohan yeah like we they the people who listen to this who buy tickets to the tour know these guys and then obviously see on social media and then they're built up so they have a gig some of these famous acts are like i did katherine ryan because she she messaged you and you messaged me so on sunday i supported katherine ryan oh great no one hasn't 900 people in the cinema and a theater huge old victorian theater in blackpool no one has an idea that she's got to support they don't even know there's a support act some of them might but they're not they don't they don't there's no running order to say so they hear katherine ryan's voice from off stage hello everyone welcome and you
Starting point is 01:24:41 can tell they're like oh katherine Captain Ryan. And about 18 seconds later, they're looking at me. People are like, they find out that there's a tour support as she goes. And so I've brought a lovely comedian, give it up for Dan Nightingale. They have to process so much like, oh my God, Captain's coming on.
Starting point is 01:24:57 Oh, this is amazing. We bought tickets. I love her so much. Support, tour support, an act, Dan Nightingale. Who the fuck is this fat swat in a hat? Well, I've definitely told this story on the podcast before but with you being here do you know when when you opened for Bear at the Royal Albert Hall yeah was his tour manager Kenny was it club soda Kenny yeah
Starting point is 01:25:16 I think so yeah so he introduced me not in London so in London they had a female uh voice so that the director of the special because he was taping it he said I want a girl to do it so they got like
Starting point is 01:25:29 a girl with a really nice soft voice ladies and gentlemen Bill Burr but in the first two Birmingham and Manchester it was Kenny
Starting point is 01:25:38 and this is how he introduced me I've definitely told this before so he goes ladies and gentlemen welcome to the armadillo here in glasgow where tonight we present live in concert bill burr but first
Starting point is 01:25:57 it was and you literally felt the urge like an audible it is it was great in the end it was an absolute honour and a privilege who you're supporting is well because like your comic
Starting point is 01:26:11 your comedy is brilliant and it's interesting and it's intelligent like it matches Ricky Gervais Catherine Ryan's Blackpool audience suited me
Starting point is 01:26:21 down to a T she's a mum she's got a bit of edge to her like I'm a dad i've got some of that stuff i i i had the most fun i've ever had support in a famous comic like and then obviously not every crowd is the same but i've done some john bishop supports where you're like oh they they just came for john bishop and i've done some john bishop supports where they're the happiest easiest crowd to get going like it's so i know you can get a weird like flip of the coin sometimes but
Starting point is 01:26:50 you have to suit the comedian you're supporting don't you like you two supporting Bill Burr makes sense in my head yeah yeah you support you supporting Ricky Gervais makes sense yeah there are some match-ups where famous comedians just, you can see their agent ringing around and messaging around, you're like, surely you want a bit more control, who's supporting you? Who is a famous comedian? I'll ask this to both of you. A, that you would love to open for,
Starting point is 01:27:14 and B, that you just don't think would work. Like, would you open for Milton Jones? Not, that's not my bike. That's not, no, that's not going to go down well. I love watching Milton Jones. Not, that's not my bike. That's not, no, that's not going to go down well. But I love watching Milton Jones, but I feel like I would walk on and do what I do to his crowd and they'd be like, oh. I mean, do you mean like any comedian?
Starting point is 01:27:36 Yeah. I mean, are we including like Barrymore in it? Because that would have worked. Michael Barrymore. Like if Barrymore went, actually for the anecdote, I probably would. Oh my God, yeah. That would be one of those folk in the road,
Starting point is 01:27:45 like what is going to make a story in five years? Did you get that from the wall or from your head? Oh my God. What's going on? What about Elton John? I mean, if I opened for Elton John, he's losing even more money on his tour than I am. What about Fastino Esprilla?
Starting point is 01:28:04 Again, I would take that if if former colombian footballer fastino espiria was doing it yeah definitely support tino loves you he's a big fan of have a word um who you know espiria the one who got caught with like four grabs of cocaine strapped to his shin 100 i'm gonna be honest sean it better not be now you've said it yeah i know yeah let's not clip that one let's kick that one into the into the into the long grass who was it that wasn't lee carsley was it from before so i don't want to i wouldn't want to support to can't be, well, obviously if you say Frankie Allen, it's just horrible in it, but it almost doesn't count.
Starting point is 01:28:52 I'm trying to think, I think this is sometimes to the detriment of my standup. I can, I've got the gears that I will adapt. So if it's all like Lee Evans did some of his new material at the Glee a few years ago. Yeah. And you think Lee Evans is not really, his crowd are not really my bike. I had a fucking great time.
Starting point is 01:29:06 I don't know about that. No? Okay. Lee Evans is, he's a more gentle comic and he's more family friendly. Yeah, that's true. But he's so high energetic.
Starting point is 01:29:16 He uses, he uses voices to his advantage. Yeah. He's performative and he's high energy. I don't think that's a clash with you. No, I know. Asshole.
Starting point is 01:29:24 Yeah. I think with, if you do club gigs, performative and he's high energy i i don't think that's a clash with you no i know at all yeah i think with if you do club gigs which you i mean you two are two of the masters of club gigs i mean i think if you're just on the circuit in general you are used to making large cross sections of the public laugh and so you're probably in decent shape. Totally, 100%. But it's not a club audience and there's not a cross section. I think the juxtaposition of an audience who've gone,
Starting point is 01:29:53 we're going to see Quirky McQuirko and then you're not anything like that. I think... He is called him as well. Quirko! And they just start the crowd going, Quirko! Quirko! Quirko.
Starting point is 01:30:06 Quirko. I tell you, quirky but quirko stuff on Boris Johnson is unbelievable. He makes a point and he pours custard on his head.
Starting point is 01:30:15 It's the best of both worlds. Custard in a shoe. Ooh. Quirko. Classic quirky. No, well, maybe Jim Jefferies.
Starting point is 01:30:25 I suppose that'd be all right as well. I'll tell you who I did. Sometimes the edgier guys, that'd be like. I'll tell you who I did. I did Doug Stano. Oh, well, yeah. And that was, I got away with it, but it was one of those things where we were sort of told before,
Starting point is 01:30:40 they're nice, they're fun, but his audience, drink hard, they're big party guys, and he is beyond a god to them because he's like an underground god yeah and if you don't have an abortion punch line in the first three minutes like this guy is lightweight yeah exactly so basically with that one it was just basically go as tight as you physically can don't pause for laughs don't give them a second and then i did my 15 and it was it was only 15 and then i introduced him straight away so they got like an hour and 45 minute show with no break
Starting point is 01:31:13 yeah because they don't need to sell what i mean if they sold this audience more beer the venue be burnt down i mean it was amazing and he, I mean, he is a real hero of mine. Yeah. But that's probably one where I think that was on the cusp for me. I think there are probably, there are definitely other comics who I think would have fit a bit better. He's a comic that I love that we haven't really spoken much about on either way before. Beer Hall Putsch is one of the best specials you'll ever see.
Starting point is 01:31:44 And in the sort of, is it the prologue? Like I think before the thing, he talks about the fact, he's like, I wanted to film it here because it's too small for me. He's like, we can't play venues like this because we sell too many tickets, but when you film in it and there's a reason to do it. And it's just this tiny little room.
Starting point is 01:32:01 It's like a hundred seater or something, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it the one that's filmed abroad? No, it's in America tiny little room. It's like a hundred seater or something, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is this the one that's filmed abroad? No, it's in America. Oh, okay. No, it does one in Iceland, I think, or Finland. Or Sweden or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:11 I remember, here's Dan's memory lane stuff, being the sound man at the Hyena in Newcastle when I was starting out in 2002 and a young Jim Jefferies coming back from the fringe with a Doug Stanhope CD because he'd seen Stanhope at the fringe maybe 2002 or 2003 and was like mesmerized by him was like this guy you might not have heard him and he'd gone as a fan as a comedy fan had gone and bought the CD and he
Starting point is 01:32:38 literally Jefferies was like this is genuinely the direction I want to go I remember Jim being like this is the kind of comedy and that was when he was a complete, Jim Jefferies was a complete unheard of. And like three, four, five, six years later, you're like, yep, you can actually see the influence. Yeah, yeah. You almost, from Doug Standup to Jim Jefferies,
Starting point is 01:32:56 you can see that influence. See, I'm like that with Quirky McQuirkston. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Came back from the fridge. I've got his latest VHS. He doesn't do CDs. Came back from Scarborough after that 60 quid gig Quirky doesn't do the fringe
Starting point is 01:33:08 he does Scarborough the whole season that's what I want to be like they ran out of custard in East Yorkshire Quirko! Quirko! by the way
Starting point is 01:33:21 there will be some form of visual or piss take about Quirky McQuirkison being made. Yeah, it already exists. So who would you want to... Like, if I could say now... Yeah, I think he's mine as well. Segura, because I think he's...
Starting point is 01:33:37 Also, oh... Yeah. One of those American guys. The American guys. The American podcasters. Not Chappelle. Now, you will totally disagree with me here but i think because of what chappelle does i'd be arsed i just want to do my stand-up
Starting point is 01:33:51 and i think that i think the people going to see chappelle from over here would be like yeah night this dan night goes fine but it's you you're supporting a demigod and i just can't be arsed just want to do something like the challenge of that yeah i knew i knew exactly as i was saying it have you ever seen chappelle yeah i've seen him recently yeah yeah i did and the thing is it's the odds are so stacked against anyone not just because they're bad they're not bad comics certainly not you know yeah i'd even go so far as to say they're good comedians opening for dave chpelle but the thing is before dave chapelle there's a fucking dj doing a 25 minute banging set where every verse is punctured with dave chapelle dave chapelle you're not gonna hit that are you you're not gonna hit that
Starting point is 01:34:37 so i went did you go and see him in london recently when he did the I went to see him in that post the close air run that he did in London and I thought the DJ Adam oh it was a party it's an event
Starting point is 01:34:51 I mean that's what it is it's not a comedy show Jason Momoa come on at the end yeah Tyler Bukwale
Starting point is 01:34:57 Jason Momoa yeah he just brought him on at the end just to say oh look who's here imagine if I did that Imagine if I did that. Imagine if I did that. At the fucking Guilford G Hall.
Starting point is 01:35:12 All right, guys. Got Aquaman here. Come on, Jason. What's the equivalent for us? It's me bringing like Sheridan Smith on, isn't it? I mean, like she's good, isn't she? She's really good in a lot of, she does a lot of work. Just Kevin webster just that's how you know you've really made it is your encore
Starting point is 01:35:32 is just pulling out people who aren't funny who probably don't even want to be there go look here we go we've got fucking tony adams coming out well he brought storms he was there he brought he brought talib kweli on who rapp who rapped. And then they played a Stormzy track and he was like, Stormzy. And Stormzy come on and just waved and then fucked off. That is so much better than who I got. I got Ed Sheeran when I went. And I thought, fucking hell, Ed Sheeran.
Starting point is 01:35:56 You got fucking Stormzy and Aquaman. I feel so ripped off. Did Dave Chappelle bring out Ed Sheeran? He did. And they did, what's his big song, Ed Sheeran? Shape of You. Yeah. Yeah, they sang that.
Starting point is 01:36:09 What, Chappelle's- Him and Chappelle sang it. Yeah, yeah. Fucking hell. It was this guy. It was mad. And do you understand what I mean about I can't be arsed? Just wanna do 20 minutes in front of like Segura,
Starting point is 01:36:21 who's gonna come out and do an hour. I can't, I just don't need to. Dave Chappelle! Dave Chappelle! Ed Sheeran jason momoa kevin webster he's so good if dave also brought out kevin webster to sing shape of you hey hey hey hey hey hey hey nigerian kevin webster ah sus it's a good effort he was trying to do do Kevin Webster singing an Ed Sheeran song. And you were like, it's not good enough. That's done. Can you do it?
Starting point is 01:36:51 Can you do? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum. The club. The club. I'll do it. I just can't do the impression. I can't do a Kevin Webster impression.
Starting point is 01:37:04 I can just do A in his voice. That's it. That's all I've got. I want an audience with, that's where I think we should all be aiming at, the old ITV, cheesy as fuck. Adele just did one that was cool. But if you get to pick your own celebrities,
Starting point is 01:37:17 and you're like, so listen, Sean, Adam, Dan, triple header, which celebrities do you want in the crowd? To ask you questions about your career and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the Billy Connolly one. The iconic Billy Connolly one. Yeah, but there's been so much dog shit in between.
Starting point is 01:37:31 The Billy Connolly's iconic. That Adele one that came out at Christmas will become iconic. She's got fucking Helen Mirren asking her questions. And just obviously the level of Adele's fame and quality. I'd love to just fill the fucking, just with like Paula Radcliffe. Why is she here? I think ours would be so shit.
Starting point is 01:37:51 It wouldn't be fucking Helen Mirren. It'd be like John Virgo. What's your favourite sandwich? Paula Radcliffe, John Virgo, Kevin Webster, Lee Carsley, again. Jeff Winter, the former Premier League referee. He saw your number, hasn't he? Remember he called us?
Starting point is 01:38:09 He called you in River Island. He went, hang on. It's former referee Jeff Winter. I was like, okay. Wait, what? Jeff Winter just called. I don't know why. He just called Adam?
Starting point is 01:38:21 Yeah. And went, it's former referee Jeff Winter. That's how he just talked Adam. Yeah. Yeah. And went, it's former referee Jeff Winter. That's how he starts the phone. Hello, Adam. It's former Premier League referee Jeff Winter here. Sorry. Jeff Winter actually, Jeff Winter rang you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:36 What I love is when you said Jeff Winter's got your number, I briefly thought you meant it metaphorically, like he fucking knows it was you who hit him with your car. No, I was on VAR for the charity game that he was refereeing and he had to send me the link and be like, have a look at this. Is he on? Is he off?
Starting point is 01:38:50 He's off. Okay. I told you the home ones, haven't I? The home ones one. Did Jeff Windsor ring him? We were in River Island and his phone went. He's doing the VAR for a charity game from River Island. That was a lie.
Starting point is 01:39:02 What the fuck? Talk about phoning, literally phoning it in. No, genuinely. I went, who's that? He went, it's Jeff Winter. What?
Starting point is 01:39:13 Yeah. And then went, yeah, it was former lefty. I'm not, that isn't a lie. So you're doing like a charity five-a-side game or something? No, I'd done a sportsman's dinner
Starting point is 01:39:21 that he was on and he was ringing me asking whether there were another one. All right, cool. Do you know what the Eamon Holmes was? So you've supported Geoff Winter? I've opened for Geoff Winter. Is he from Teesside?
Starting point is 01:39:31 He's from Middlesbrough, yeah. What sort of introduction did he give you? What was his DJ like? Geoff Winter. Former Premier League. Winter's coming. I love that. He came to see me in South Shield with his son
Starting point is 01:39:46 after the fact. He came to me to our show. Oh. Yeah. He was dead sound. He's doing all right. Yeah, Jeff Winter's up here. And she...
Starting point is 01:39:57 Jeff Winter? Won't need Paula Radcliffe soon. Yeah, there was a moment with Carl that was really funny. So, when I won that Dave award and you do all the press stuff because it's it's just mental the amount of things you have to do when you get given that award and it's great i saw you on scottish television right with my family like this is weird well i wasn't allowed to tell anyone about that and paul smith's son at the time he couldn't pronounce the word adam so he he called me the captain so paul was just making breakfast and uh paul smith's son went to him
Starting point is 01:40:33 uh dad the captain's on the telly because i was just on good morning britain talking about that thought it was hendo but carl was with me all day we were on his bed single bed watching friends in the morning just like take away everywhere just put up at night out at the hangover and his phone went he went hello and he went to hang on it's a man home i went i'll just pause friends it's just one of those moments where you realize how ridiculous your life has become I went, I'll just pause for them. It's just one of those moments where you realise how ridiculous your life has become. Because it wasn't quite like that.
Starting point is 01:41:11 I went, hello. Oh, hi, mate. You all right? And you went, who's that? And I went, Tame and Holmes. And you just burst out laughing at the nonchalance of Tame and Holmes. That shit was like, sometimes. I died on my arse in front of Dean Smith the other week,
Starting point is 01:41:26 and I'm still not over it. Norwich City manager. I want money about it, you know. No, I'm worried. Who do you support? I support QPR. I've got no horse in this race, but I had a really tough gig, went off,
Starting point is 01:41:36 and someone went, Dean Smith's in. And I was like, I don't want to hear that. Because now whenever I watch Match of the Day and I see Dean Smith on the sideline, I'm thinking, it must enter his mind every once in a while, going, I wonder what that shit comedian's up to. Oh, much of the Day and I see Dean Smith on the sideline I'm thinking it must enter his mind every once in a while I go I wonder what that shit comedian's up to I'll ask my friend
Starting point is 01:41:50 Jeff Winter for a podcast recommendation What? Have you done any of those sportsman's dinners? No I don't think I've ever done one
Starting point is 01:42:03 I've turned a few down recently I've done round tables no sportsman Colin Manford booked me for one
Starting point is 01:42:13 in North Manchester and just said oh it's a nice little gig in North Manchester 100 quid on a Thursday on a Friday
Starting point is 01:42:21 it's like nothing in the diary I was like I'll be he's like opening finished by 8.. I was like, oh, I'll be, he's like opening, finished by 8.30. I was like, mate, I'll be back by quarter past nine. This is fine, I'll do it.
Starting point is 01:42:32 I got there and it was like a sportsman's dinner. And I just wasn't trying to be a dick, but I sort of was. I just walked in and went, oh, I've been lied to and I'm not doing it. And there's no point. Was it 100 quid, did you say? It was 100 pounds. that's not enough for one of them no but he just said it's a lovely gig it was a miscommunication i'm like colin's a mate of mine and uh and i i was like
Starting point is 01:42:54 it was quite empowering actually it was the when it was it was the night before i met laura the night before i met my wife because i had a tour i had the one-man show the next night, and I was like, cool. You know when you're like, oh, I'm going to walk. I was like, I'm going to go and get a snack before the show. She was like,
Starting point is 01:43:12 yeah, no worries, love, don't worry about it. I was like, is there anywhere nearby? Make the lie believable. She's like, yeah, there's a KFC around the corner. I was like,
Starting point is 01:43:18 I'm just going to go to KFC. She's like, are you driving? I went, I am driving. Yeah, I don't like walking around the corner, and just started driving home.
Starting point is 01:43:25 Message calling Manfred, and I went, I'm going home,, I don't like walking around the corner. I just started driving home. Message Colin Manfred, I went, I'm going home, mate. That is not the gig that you booked me for. I'd be fucked if I'm doing a sportsman's dinner for a hundred quid because I'd have turned it down.
Starting point is 01:43:33 And then a lad tweeted me, like, you know, when it's in the sixth page of a tweet, who's obviously affiliated to that foot, like junior football club that were trying to do a fundraiser. So they feel completely cunted off.
Starting point is 01:43:46 They thought they'd booked a comedian all above board and they're like, why the fuck have you turned up and driven home? And I just, six tweets in, he was fuming. You've let your mate Jason Manford down, which I feel for Colin Manford because it gets his brother thrown at him all the time. Jason Manford is nothing to do with this
Starting point is 01:44:06 and he's getting atted in a fucking angry tweet about why I said I was going to KFC and fucked off home. And I thought, you know what, I'm not ignoring this.
Starting point is 01:44:15 I'm just going to go, really sorry, mate. I was booked for a nice little gig in Manchester. That's absolutely not the gig I was booked for. Don't want to do it. If I'd have known what it was,
Starting point is 01:44:22 £100 is not worth me eating my balls in front of former Man City player whoever the fuck and he was a good sense of half whoever the fuck
Starting point is 01:44:31 he was amazing Scottish Johan whoever the fuck yeah I saw a quirky you went Scottish I went Johan Johan
Starting point is 01:44:37 Johan whoever the fuck but the guy actually read my thing and went alright cool fair one which is so no
Starting point is 01:44:44 because I I just know that i'll die have you ever walked ever walked got off just like 10 do your legs work sean well i'm not a quitter thanks no no no genuinely i but also that's the type of gig that i would never have even been considered for i've done i don't um i never have I wish I wish I had that instinct I certainly in the early years
Starting point is 01:45:27 I try not to think about the amount of wasted gigs and wasted trips and you always sort of think you know when you're early on in a career
Starting point is 01:45:35 and you go oh stage time's good stage time you know you've got to get out there and do it and now I'm you know a few more years in
Starting point is 01:45:41 and I realise I probably could have lost at least six months worth at least six months work at least six months worth of gigs and be fine you'd be exactly not change my career one bit no but i never had that ballsy thing to go this is not going to work this shouldn't be a gig i'm off oh i wish i had we're talking 20 year career yeah twice once i bailed on what was meant to be an
Starting point is 01:46:03 edinburgh preview inport because there was no lights and I couldn't see anyone. And I was like, oh, this is terrible. And we had an argument with the promoter on the way home and we're still mates now. I think I'm on two, maybe two and a half of like,
Starting point is 01:46:15 you know, just leave it early because it's not in you. It's the opposite of why you're doing it. If you're a comic, you're like, I want to do this. It has to be so bad. And even then, that night on that random Friday night in April, eight years ago, in another mood, I'd have probably done it.
Starting point is 01:46:34 But I was just like, I just, whatever. The mood, I was like, I've been lied to. This is not right. Complete miss booking. 100 quid. Fuck off. Well, also, you're not. Actually, I'm quite proud of myself you're not you're not the night you're i mean it's not like you're the headline you know they're not here for you they're there for you know whoever johan yeah johan yeah yeah but if it was georgie
Starting point is 01:46:58 king kladsey i'd have probably stayed i'm just saying or alano yeah yeah i've got to say this over the line On the back That's where it came from I think I nearly walked A corporate recently In December
Starting point is 01:47:10 I nearly got off So I was booked For a corporate In London And very luckily I had my agent With me Because we had a meeting
Starting point is 01:47:18 Before hand And I got there And I was like So where's the stage And they were like Oh there's no stage I was like Microphone
Starting point is 01:47:24 They were like No there's no microphone. And then downstairs- What do you want? Downstairs, there was a party happening and they had music on, which was louder than me, obviously. And I was just performing to two dinner tables,
Starting point is 01:47:36 one small one of the managing directors of the company and one of the staff. And they were like, yeah, you're just going to stand there and do it. And I was like, hmm. So I said to Chris Meages, I was like, this is bullshit, isn't it? And he were like, yeah, you're just going to stand there and do it. And I was like, hmm. So I said to Chris Meages, I was like, this is bullshit, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:47:49 And he's like, yeah, yeah. So we checked the contract and the contract was, he will be provided with a microphone, stage, light, and this, that. And I was like, we can walk this and still get paid. And he's like, you can,
Starting point is 01:48:00 but this company who give me every corporate I ever do, which is not that many, because I don't like them. they give me maybe 10 a year it's like you will they will never book you again and i was like right okay let's just do it it is it is hard i almost walked off stage at a preview actually a few weeks ago because the audience was so they were so unhinged there were so many narcissists in and and like some of them were just drunks and it was annoying where was this this was at i think it was at the bill murray in london which is one of the best venues and the staff are incredible and it is a total anomaly this is like a bermuda triangle and what night of the week it was a thursday night it's not even a
Starting point is 01:48:42 weekend i honestly the fuck is going on it was like 20 minutes in i was like well there must be a gas leak but i and the worst thing about it was there was at least 60 of the audience the majority had paid and were there to see me and were like you know maybe they weren't there to see me specifically, but they knew the deal. Yeah. And eventually the moderates were radicalized. And so like, you could see this cancer spreading through the gig. And I'm like, I don't know what to do here. I don't know what to do here. You know, and I don't have a fucking Man City forward.
Starting point is 01:49:20 I got nothing in the wings. That is so funny. Because most of the time when a gig is full of lunatics and there's a few moderates or people who actually want to enjoy the show normally they get so pissed off and then try and police the audience but they those people have clearly gone we need to pick a team here and i want to win yeah yeah i mean really easy to be a lunatic yeah yeah but it was that it was really at half an hour, I had to sincerely stop and stop even any pretense of being funny
Starting point is 01:49:49 and go, I'm going to walk off stage right now. You can all leave, but I'm going to go. And sort of that moment of sincerity seemed to be enough to kind of pierce them a bit. But I was genuinely like, so, because I just kept thinking about the nice, normal people who just wanted to see a nice show. Yeah. As a zombie virus spread through. also as well with the preview yeah you've got like it's there to serve a purpose yeah there's a remit for the gig you're practicing for a tour you need to get it right
Starting point is 01:50:17 you're practicing for edinburgh you're like guys help me out you meant like that crowd has to be the most comedy savvy crowd. You need, I know you don't just want people just sat there listening to everything, but when they're Saturday night mental, you're like, Oh, I've got, you can do that gear.
Starting point is 01:50:33 Yeah. If you need to, but not on a preview. Yeah. I love a ding dong. I don't mind that. I love all that stuff. Love a ding dong.
Starting point is 01:50:40 Love a ding dong. Cheers to ding dongs. Yeah. Not when you're working in new material. Well, that's it. It's part of an hour. Yeah, I don't know. But it's, in general, it's all right.
Starting point is 01:50:52 That's the closest I've come to walking off stage during a gig or before a gig. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think there's a weird feeling as a comic where you're like, oh, this is fucked. So, like, I've been to some clubs and this looks like Bedlam. It's a free hit.
Starting point is 01:51:08 That whole free hit thing can be quite freeing, but not if there's no mic and no lights because then it's an unfair free hit. It was at two o'clock in the afternoon in a bar in London.
Starting point is 01:51:18 You'll know the bar if I tell you. I'm not going to name it. That's not a free hit. They're tying your hands behind your back and then going, go have a swing
Starting point is 01:51:25 and like with a preview it's meant to be an hour and you know how important the tour is you're like I've got to get there sometimes when
Starting point is 01:51:32 you're at gigs and it's bedlam especially when you know the promoters or anything it's like a nice feeling to be like well this looks fucked everyone's struggling
Starting point is 01:51:39 so if I win I look like a legend and if I have a struggle it's because these are fucking lunatics it's actually weirdly freeing isn't it I found that I look like a legend. And if I have a struggle, it's because these are fucking lunatics. It's actually weirdly freeing, isn't it? I found that. I don't know if you did any car gigs during COVID.
Starting point is 01:51:51 You've probably talked about this, but I did one car park gig. And already you go, well, this is a tough gig, isn't it? You're playing to a car park in Enfield. So just for our listeners to contextualize this during the lockdowns when social distancing was a law the to have comedy happen at all there was a lot of online stuff and uh just in case you're a new listener because i know you did one of these at least i didn't do any i did two um i just couldn't bear the thought but they like
Starting point is 01:52:26 a drive-in cinema they did drive-in comedy shows yeah yeah where there was a comedian on stage with a microphone and it was projected into the car's speaker systems via bluetooth and people would laugh in their cars and be encouraged to like flash their lights and honk their horn if they found something funny yeah so i did one for f one for Freddie Quinn in a field in Skipton where they were told... That sentence started badly and it really got worse. Every new word in that sentence
Starting point is 01:52:52 made it worse. Where they were told that because of licensing there was to be no honking of horns, which is basically... No laughing. That's no laughing. That was like the call and response thing with the gig.
Starting point is 01:53:05 That was the thing, wasn't it? Yeah. That was the laugh. The second one I did, they had an area, like for cyclists and pedestrians, where there was social distancing. So really what was happening was you were playing to a crowd of 35 people beneath you.
Starting point is 01:53:20 You could hear the laugh and you got the rhythm of the gig. There was then 45 cars parked up who could hear you, and because of licensing, were told not to honk the horns. So actually, that was great. That was a gig, because you just go, and they were their sound. So it felt like a gig, and you're like, oh, it's a car park gig, the word, only because there was a little crowd in real life. The one in Skipton was just, you just, and the way,
Starting point is 01:53:44 just by total bad luck, the sun was set. It was a beautiful night at the end of July 2020. And the way the cars were parked, the setup was really nice, except the sun was setting exactly, just exactly behind the side of the stage. All the cars were facing that way. So you could see every one of them illuminated brilliantly and they were squinting into a sunset you know that in summer when the sun just about to go you could you just see people going it was so bad it was so wrong at the one i did they were filming an episode
Starting point is 01:54:17 of celebrity first dates at the car gig so you had all these you had all these like ford focuses vw golfs and then there was one 1950s convertible cadillac with some celebrities in there and loads of cameras and a lighting rig yeah and i mean i don't know if they used any of the footage i provided them i mean i was pretty conspiratorial with a lot of what i was shouting but it was i can't say chalifordia use this footage i mean i won't even say it now but like say it no well it was to do with did the raw family kill a certain people's princess so sorry we're just coming out of the first lockdown and that's what you're angry about that's what i'm angry like i've heard a lot of comics have gone a little bit right wing with the old lockdown stuff yeah yeah covid rules i'm not even right or left way i found a new
Starting point is 01:55:14 new direction that's how big i am nostalgic conspiracy bill gates is trying to make us calm down we've got to sort that out okay, okay? Get in the fucking queue. Never mind about 5G. What about fucking JFK? And then I actually, weirdly, I got a message. I got a Twitter DM the next morning from, there's a really famous celebrity chef. I've forgotten his name. Anthony Waddle Thompson.
Starting point is 01:55:40 No, not Anthony Waddle Thompson. It's someone like James something. James Blake. Is James Blake A celebrity chef He's a musician isn't he I don't know about my life Do you know De Campo No

Starting point is 02:03:03 you lazy cunt. Sick of hearing his fucking phone. Sit down. You're on the job. How many hours do you need? 20% he makes. The whole everything. Profit.
Starting point is 02:03:17 My phone's on airplane mode. If anyone from the Honda Corporation is watching this, I just want you to know that those sort of turns of aggression are not going to happen with me. I am a company man. I'll keep my shit together. Sean, he's on with Honda right now. That's how car works.
Starting point is 02:03:32 He brokers his own deals with Honda Jazz. He's on the phone to Honda Jazz right now. And you know that because he's been vibrating. Oh, fucking Honda. We need to review car's contract. Hey, he's got his own contract. He probably owns the company. Joe Hughes has probably pulled the ownership of this company.
Starting point is 02:03:50 I love the idea that you two have sort of almost, I guess it wasn't by accident, but you've sort of built this company and you've had to learn business. And I've just witnessed the key product and the producer have an argument about what the fuck VAT is. While the other key product goes,
Starting point is 02:04:08 you don't fucking know shit. On air. On air. On air. He loves an argument though. He's like, 5% is a fucking fact. It is though because we've been putting
Starting point is 02:04:19 an event together for the end of the year and the promoter of it is- Just for live. Just for live. That's what I said though. Not for Reese's Pieces.
Starting point is 02:04:26 That's what I said though. Is it Reese's Pieces live? Yeah. Is it a live event where you eat Reese's Pieces? I've got to do a live Instagram story. Oh, good save. Instagram live. Imagine if like when Steve Jobs announced the iPod. Fucking his assistant.
Starting point is 02:04:40 Sorry, sorry, Sean. Can we just... Sean, Sean, can I stop you dead? Our comedian guest that came in. Are you all right, Carl? Yeah. Is everything all right? I was confirming my birthday party.
Starting point is 02:04:50 Oh, brilliant. On company time. It's getting beyond the joke, this, mate. Is there any chance you could turn your phone off? I haven't missed an episode in two years. You were confirming your birthday party? Yeah. Where is it? I'm not telling you that because it's going out? Yeah. Where is it?

It was actually on loud. Just put your phone in your fucking pocket. I've put it, I out for it. I mean, I'll shoot him. It was actually on loud. Just put your phone in your fucking pocket.

Starting point is 02:05:38 Yeah. I'll be honest. I think that banter train might have become a rail replacement bus. Let's draw a line under that. We'll move on to the next bit. What I love about it is normally there's a sort of we'll set them up, you knock them down mentality in podcasts.
Starting point is 02:05:56 We'll set them up, you start to knock it down, then we scream at the fucking producer because he's organising his birthday party. Soz. It's just getting, birthday party. Soz. It's just getting, you know. What's getting? I'm boss of your job.

Starting point is 02:06:30 but like hey I'm the best in the game thanks Sean I'm the best in this room over the past month so I was checking on the slack right we're going to do some advice now still getting paid

Starting point is 02:07:33 Really looking forward to releases every week. All right, stop licking our ass. I have a problem. Has something happened in the break? Is it like, has the Valium fucking worn off for you lot? I have skittles I have a problem this problem is ongoing
Starting point is 02:07:47 as I send this email and just wanted your perspective on things for contacts they are both 18 and have been together for over a year my sister is a lesbian
Starting point is 02:07:54 like a proper super mega lesbian we have known since she was around three and I've supported her every step of the way. I mean, you have to be giving off some strong lesbian toddler vibes.
Starting point is 02:08:13 What's a baby lesbian? A toddler lesbian. Yeah. I've got a cousin who's been gay since he was like six months old. Yeah, but I'm saying there's more tells. What's a baby lesbian look like? Yeah. Look at his face. What's a baby lesbian look like? Yeah. Can't get her out of dungarees.
Starting point is 02:08:30 I don't understand. Do you think it's like... I'm sorry. I think you're getting them confused with Mr. Strong. Or a coffee table. My sister is a lesbian. Super mega lesbian. However, she has a girlfriend at the moment who I'm absolutely adamant is either is a lesbian super mega lesbian however she has a girlfriend at the moment who
Starting point is 02:08:46 i'm absolutely adamant is either not a lesbian has serious issues or both let me break it down i mean please always bring it guys guys turns out that's my new favorite sentence in a email about your lesbian younger sister let me break it down for you child lesbian now this other girl is a foster child now I'm not entirely sure what impact that would have had on a young woman's way of thinking, but I can't imagine it being positive. Right, so just for context.
Starting point is 02:09:32 This cannot be the best email you got. This just cannot be the best one you got. To be honest, a lot of them are boring, and this one wasn't. Let me break it down. No, but Sean, let me break it down. All right. They have never, these young, 18, remember? let me break it down. They have never, these young, oh, that's my hands,
Starting point is 02:09:47 18, remember? Let me break it down. They have never held hands, kissed, or done anything remotely romantic that I have seen. A lot of the romantic gestures are performed from my sister, and they argue a lot, and I mean a lot. It's quite an aggressive level of argument that is... They're not going to be licking each other out
Starting point is 02:10:01 in front of their sister, are they? Fact. That I feel is always just a stone's throw away from becoming physical I hear them crying and screaming at each other and almost weekly and whenever I ask my sister about the screaming I'm usually met with it's nothing or stay out of it my question is this boys how do I deal with this is this something I can actually deal with or am I overreacting is this something to put down as just how lesbian relationships are let me break break it down. Or is there something deeper that I probably need to address going on here?
Starting point is 02:10:27 I'm slightly worried for my sister's wellbeing as she's had minor mental health issues in the past. So don't want to push too hard. Is this a toxic relationship and does my sister need to get out ASAP? That's from Gorgeous George. We don't have anywhere near enough information to pass judgments on this one.
Starting point is 02:10:44 When has that stopped us in the past? It's not going to stop me now. Let me break it down. I'm just, you know, I'm preempting my answer with this might not necessarily apply. I think you've got to, first of all, if you think it's a toxic relationship, talk to your sister, have a chat and be like,
Starting point is 02:11:00 hey, what's going on here? I wouldn't necessarily leave if I'm not sure she's a lesbian I'd just be like hey how are you doing why are you fighting and I just I don't think you can ask your sister
Starting point is 02:11:10 whether she's having regular sex with her girlfriend yeah I haven't seen you les up enough you know if you're lesbians where's the proof
Starting point is 02:11:19 les up isn't it les off I'm changing it you know let me break it up have you ever lesed up that's what he wants to do that's when you dress up as a guy called les Get Les off. I'm changing it, you know. Let me break it up. Have you ever Les'd up? That's what he wants to do.
Starting point is 02:11:29 That's when you dress up as a guy called Les. Who are you going out with tonight? I'm going out with Les Dawson. I'm Les'ing up. I'm Les'ing up. Dressed as Les Dawson. Get your cigar. Don't think Les Dawson ever had a cigar.
Starting point is 02:11:46 He did in my head. Yeah, it's none of his business, is it? I know you've got to look after your sister, but she's in a relationship. They're not going to be going hell for leather in front of you, are they? Am I wrong? The Shelton lot's the one, aren't they? Yeah, but couples argue.
Starting point is 02:12:01 I know you're in your perfect angel relationship where everything's fairy dust doesn't but people do so i'll be honest this sounds like the valid part of this is my little sister is in a shitty looking relationship the slight concern is it sounds a bit homophobic doesn't it like yeah listen she's a lesbian and she's always been a fucking lesbian i've had a fucking nose on this since she was like three mega lesbian yeah we had little building blocks with letters on and she wrote vagina that's the thing isn't it i want to know what was the behavior at the age of three that is so different to now let's go god it's been like 15 years ago you couldn't fucking stop i i i think it'll be the stereotypical, she was more attracted to stuff that is targeted towards little boys,
Starting point is 02:12:50 like trucks and remote control cars. Well, it used to be tomboy, didn't it? That was the phrase when you were young, tomboy. That's what he's talking about. I think tomboy stops when you're going down on someone, doesn't it? Yeah, but he was talking about when she was three, Dan. Yes. Which I don't think she was doing he talked about when she was three, Dan. Yes.
Starting point is 02:13:06 Which I don't think she was doing then. No, I think that'd be a dead giveaway. Is that you in dad mode? I think tomboy stops when you're going down on someone. Yeah, I think when you get a phone call from nursery, when you get a phone call from nursery going, I tell you what, little Jezebel, she's been fingering. Amelia, we need to sort.
Starting point is 02:13:28 She's not a tomboy anymore. Does Adam Rowe run that nursery party, John? Little Jezebel's been fingering. Listen, I'm all for Tonka trucks for little girls, but that went too far. That's what it'll be though, won't it? Sheila being playing with monster trucks instead of Barbies. Well, that's what he's on about.
Starting point is 02:13:48 Now she's playing with her girlfriend. I just feel like this whole thing about you can't, just because she's like, I don't think she's even a lesbian. Like, it's a weird thing. You're every right to be a bit worried about your sister in a toxic relationship. But the truth is, with any relative or anything, if you get too involved, you risk losing the relationship you've got with your
Starting point is 02:14:05 friend or with your sister if she she's she's got to make her own mistakes and got to get out of this and then you really need to chill out questioning the lesbian of her and then she's a fucking foster child and i don't trust her and there also might be a a deeper thing with the not holding hands and being affectionate in public The plight of the LGBT community Which is still not being solved There still is inequality And there's still some homophobic scumbags out there Maybe they're not holding hands
Starting point is 02:14:29 And kissing in public Because they're worried about the abuse They will get from scumbags Correct Do you know I find that really offensive That there was no plus on the end of LGBT Fuck the rest of them The big five
Starting point is 02:14:40 Like Europeans top five leagues LGBT That's what I'm after Fucking being cute Yeah fucking Turkish league Wicks Pretty good Let's do another
