Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Big gig last night. We've got to tell everyone about. Yeah. Preston. How was it? My penultimate preview. Pretty, pretty big. People are like tweeting, going, Dan tells the story.
Starting point is 00:03:35 It must have been magical. It was. Got my favorite garlic bread from across the road. Oh, yeah. We went for the Chinese with Dave Chappelle and Jeff. I have not finished my Preston preview story, guys. Sorry. You were at a gig. I was at a gig.
Starting point is 00:03:49 You know, I'm from Preston. Pretty important. It's Dave Chappelle. Chappelle. Chappelle. Chappelle over your word. Is he from Liverpool? No.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Am I from Preston? Yeah. So last night, there was a bit of WhatsApp magic going around, wasn't there, while you were at the game. Did you find out at the game?
Starting point is 00:04:07 Yeah. So tell us what happened because, I mean, it's pretty magical. Even Laura's like, what the fuck? She saw it on Instagram. Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock are doing a show tonight on the 1st of September, as we are recording on the 1st of September, at the Arena in Liverpool. So he was in Liverpool last night and he asked Hot Water, could he go down and jump on at the very in Liverpool so he was in Liverpool
Starting point is 00:04:25 last night and he asked Hot Water could he go down and jump on at the very end of the show and they were like
Starting point is 00:04:29 ah Phil Chapman is booked in though okay we'll ask him to do ten minutes less he had to fill for like half an hour Phil
Starting point is 00:04:38 Phil had to fill he'd done well even Dave whoever the host is fucking fair play for Phil and for half an hour oh so phil chapman was comparing yeah oh and he had to where was smith he's on tour he just wasn't there
Starting point is 00:04:53 how weird is that oh it was still full low like it's not normally fought but they were only doing one show oh i'm sort of gutted for smith yeah yeah now his life's good yeah his life is pretty good he's probably sat in his lamborghini he's fine probably sat in his lamborghini eating shumais is that what he does now he's now he's made it just driving around in his shoe mice these shoe mice displease me another shumai he has an an actual shoe my maker that just follows him around um so dave spiel went on uh you say jumped on that as a very liberal he didn't jump on did he he did two hours well he went on and did like 20 minutes on his own and then went oh um i've got the roast master general with me jeff ross is here let's get jeff ross on and then they
Starting point is 00:05:45 were on stage together for another hour and a half right um just a combination of every now and then dropping an unbelievable punch line or like two minute bit and then absolutely eating a bag of shit for five minutes at a time so i looked at the shots uh looked at the picture that you put online and it just occurred to me that there might be some people in that crowd who were just like yeah we're going down comedy on a thursday and i have no real idea what they've just seen some american lad and his mates came on because the because the crowd was emptying out because people had to get buses and trains at some point yeah chapelle like assistant, I assume she must have been, was like,
Starting point is 00:06:26 Dave, apparently the bus system here is shit. Like, you're going to have to get off stage. And he was like, no, I don't. If people want to go and get the bus, they can go and I'll still be gone when there's only four people left. Yeah. But because of that,
Starting point is 00:06:37 Dave Chappelle walked hot water. It's like we just sat there with him just talking. Preston was good though, yeah. That was the bit where i got fomo i will never cancel a one-man show i've waited too long to do them and last night was the best preview which is nice because i start the tour on saturday and i always get a little bit of fear about hometown gigging because it's not like liverpool which is your hometown which is a city which is where you've made your career i left preston and i go back there occasionally and there's been some pretty bad gigs and when they're bellens i said this last night i feel very responsible for the bellends i'm like oh god you're my bellends i went to school with
Starting point is 00:07:20 you you're probably my fucking cousin when they're like it's fucking painful and last night they were the opposite they were absolutely perfect i ran the show out and i nailed it like i got it it's a funny one because if you're a punter you might not you will get it there's days at work where you're just on your fucking metal there's days when we're in here where we stop recording and go well that was just middle of the bat every time and that that was how last night was. And I saw you all going to, you were like, I'm leaving the match early.
Starting point is 00:07:48 I knew. I've never done that in my life, by the way. Dean was like, fucking hell. And we scored a 97 minute winner. I know, but still. Oh yeah, yeah. I have too. I have too. I had to, I didn't get FOMO at all.
Starting point is 00:08:00 It was fun. But that, that bit, now I've got FOMO. Do you know, I had a wonderful little personal moment, by the way. I know this is so stupid, but I was at the back, like, stifling and laughing at myself at how ridiculous it was. Because he was on stage, he was maybe an hour and 20 minutes in at this point. So I started, you know, by the sound of the hot water, that's where I was sat.
Starting point is 00:08:20 And then I went into the bar, got a Diet Coke, and I went and stood at the other back bit. You know, like the recess. Where the old was your green rumors where the old green room is Oh, yeah, so I might have forgotten about that green room like right right sort of yeah Yeah, yeah in the middle of the stage by that like sort of by the door And I forgot there's like a safety light so obviously I was little and there was a the people to like stage left It was like a to them and I, I seen her like go to his bed. Fuck off.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Adam Rose. Dave Chappelle. Jeff Ross. And it just, it sent me head west. That is. That's like literally say Messi and Raquel May. And then go fucking hell.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Lee Trundle. It was funny being in the green me and Steve got there in four minutes after that WhatsApp and the green you got a new car tomorrow
Starting point is 00:09:12 the green room was busy busier than usual and everyone was like smirking at each other and people would turn up just coming like why are you here
Starting point is 00:09:20 but I said no reason I always pop down to see my pals on a Thursday what had happened on a wednesday what had happened was so they go on they do an hour and 45 and they were literally a mixture and they were talking about this on stage they were like it chappelle went i'm gonna tell every comic in america they've got to come and bomb a hot water this is the right we're gonna make this
Starting point is 00:09:40 the club in the uk he's like because this is what we're supposed to do he goes we go on we fuck around and we just bomb and figured it out he's like so he went if you want to leave you leave but we're just going to keep going i'm having fun and he'd get another beard he'd order a shot of tequila and he was just doing what what he wanted to do well he said that's how they relax he went thanks for letting us do this this is us us chilling out. You're just here to watch. Yeah. It's very, very, very self-indulgent, but you can self-indulge when it's after the show and you're giving the audience the option to leave with no. If anyone stood up right in the middle of the front row and left, he didn't even mention them.
Starting point is 00:10:18 He didn't even go, where the fuck are you? He just went and started talking that way. He even said I'm walking the room, but fuck it. I missed a magic. Yeah, it was. Special. So there's so many things here. There's so many things.
Starting point is 00:10:31 That's so un-British. It's so un-British. Yeah. And who are the only people in Britain who are going to do shows like this? It's us, isn't it? It's us. Because our podcast style is American.
Starting point is 00:10:44 No one has done an American style podcast until we started this he was very interested in this podcast as well yeah Jeff was as well he's next time round isn't he
Starting point is 00:10:52 next UK visit I don't think Chappelle will ever do it he's not a big podcaster is he well no he turned Rogan down for years Jeff Ross was a bit

Starting point is 00:11:19 he comes off stage and we go into the backstage area and Chappelle's assistant is like, there can't be this many people back here. Like either I get Dave out the building now and we go into the backstage area and Chappelle's assistant is like there can't be this many people back here like either I get Dave out the building now and we go or you get some of these people out like we can't have she was like I know a lot of them are local comics and stuff but there's too many people Dave's very worried about security if you want to all stay that's fine but then we're gonna leave so a few people left and i was with my mate josh

Starting point is 00:14:19 you know what was the uk in the us when so jeff went to me so who have you had on i don't know we've had because he's working with Jimmy Carter oh we've had Jimmy oh great and the names I was saying I went Shane Gillis and he tapped
Starting point is 00:14:29 Dave went you've had Shane Gillis on and Dave was like that's sick and then we've got some big Americans coming up
Starting point is 00:14:35 that we can't say and they were impressed by them as well they were slowly going okay these are so what Chappelle said about hot water will have a knock on effect
Starting point is 00:14:43 for hot water when Americans because they've been patronized by the the goat yeah right the same happened with us with jimmy carr jimmy carr was big for us because it was jimmy carr but it also made other big comedians go well fuck if jimmy carr has done have a word yeah it's like it's like comics at that level want to see that someone else's jimmy i didn't give a fuck he was the like it's like comics at that level want to see that someone else's jimmy carter didn't give a fuck he was the one that was like yeah yeah you're doing good work shane gillis is going to have that effect for us isn't it because gillis is one of the biggest
Starting point is 00:15:13 new names in stand-up like rogan's all over him like because he realizes who he is he's the next big thing yeah and shane's going to have that effect I love the fact that we've had Gillis on because that special I've probably watched it 6-7 times now, every time I've gone back to watch it I'm like oh there's another 700,000 people have watched that YouTube special it's getting bigger and bigger
Starting point is 00:15:39 because his new hour is a lot better than the special oh my god but it's so Chappelle being at Hot Water has an amazing effect for Hot Water his new hour is a lot better than the special. Oh my God. But it's, so Chappelle being at hot water has an amazing effect for hot water. Like he said, he wants to make that the UK club that people do. Chris DiStefano's coming to Liverpool.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Like he put a poll up. And I love Glasgow, but Glasgow lost the vote. And I think he'll do both anyway. I would want him to do both, but I love that Liverpool, like, and I imagine
Starting point is 00:16:05 it was some of our lids getting on it as well that helps Liverpool gigging we're going to be in Liverpool the podcast it's all it's so beautiful
Starting point is 00:16:15 to watch well I said that to both of them I said because Chappelle was like oh Rob Thomas asked them how come you're just doing
Starting point is 00:16:21 London and Liverpool like most people normally do Manchester and Chappelle went well the guy at Live Nation told me that Liverpool was more my vibe and I went you are literally in
Starting point is 00:16:31 the best city for UK comedy at the minute to be honest with you but everyone's asked this is really funny everyone's asking them questions people are asking like
Starting point is 00:16:40 Jeff Ross roast questions Chappelle comedy questions and it went silent for a second and Liam Bolton went, hey, who's the fattest person you've ever roasted? And he went, this one's for you, Liam.
Starting point is 00:16:51 And he went, Roseanne. Like immediately. Do you know what was weird though? I don't know whether you felt this, and this might sound fucking insane, it was weird how normal it felt. I said that to him. It didn't feel like it wasn't
Starting point is 00:17:06 like it was oh this is a surreal night this is mad it just felt like oh yeah chapelle's in town and of course we got to have a beer with him because he's a comic yeah he's a proper comic and also i think it's this i think now because like the amount of people who've messaged me since last night going oh he's obviously doing the part he isn't he doesn't really do them but because that that mentality is in our listeners and us it's like oh a big comic is in town they're obviously going to be why would they not want to we we we have only barely scratched the surface then he goes he goes uh i want to eat can we go and get some food you missed a bit before you came back
Starting point is 00:17:37 so we would sit it was like i've seen the scene in the simpsons when everyone's sitting around abe listening to him yeah it's. It's like an old fucking, not granddad, because he's not that old, but like someone who's like wise. Everyone was just sitting listening to him like that and he was talking about like
Starting point is 00:17:51 how important having one guy in the community or one thing in the community to help it grow. And I was sitting there like, yeah, that's us, that Dave. It was so sick. He was like,
Starting point is 00:18:01 you just need, he's like, I want to find the new hot shit. I don't want to get people who've already made he's like I want to find the new hot shit I don't want to get people who've already made it on I want to find the new thing
Starting point is 00:18:08 and he said you know the community has got one thing that helps everyone else grow and I was like that's our thing felt fucking boss
Starting point is 00:18:14 yeah it's mad he wanted to eat so we were like right we'll the Mayflower is normally where we would go for Chinese but it was shut
Starting point is 00:18:21 but there was one place left open called Chili Chili no we went to Jumbo's Jumbo City in Chinatown so I
Starting point is 00:18:27 I told his driver where we were going and his driver was like okay so they drove down into Chinatown we went
Starting point is 00:18:34 how big is his entourage just three vans of big men I text I text Paul Blair at one point because Paul Blair

Starting point is 00:18:53 do you know the wings do the wings to Hot Waterby and access the stage he had two bodyguards there at all times you know because he got tackled on stage. He's very very very nervous about
Starting point is 00:19:08 that. He's also his best mate who's doing a tour with got fucking slapped by Will Smith. There's been a
Starting point is 00:19:15 bad little run recently. We were going to walk to Chinatown and he went I'm going to have to get the car
Starting point is 00:19:21 down because I don't want to get tackled again. And I was like you're not going to get tackled
Starting point is 00:19:24 on fucking Hardman Street in Liverpool, Dave. And he was like, I can't risk it. He was in the front seat. It was so funny to see. Like literally just, Dave,
Starting point is 00:19:32 we were still outside the Chinese to see Dave Chappelle coming down the street and it like fucking potted off his twat, by the way. Sorry. He was potted off his twat.
Starting point is 00:19:42 He was potted off his twat. Just rolling down the car. I was like, I was like, what's going on? And he actually said it. He was like, man, I'm potted off my twat He was potted off his twat Just rolling down the car I was like I was like He actually said it He was like Man I'm potted off my twat But where

Starting point is 00:20:23 no he was pissed off the owner was pissed off oh classic and think, oh, this is going to be good. No, he was pissed off. The owner was pissed off. Oh, classic. And I said, what's happened is, he's rang his wife and gone, I'll be home in half an hour. And she's gone, right. And then he's rang back and gone,
Starting point is 00:20:35 I can't come home. Dave Chappelle's come in. And she's gone, you're chatting shit. He's like, no, Dave Chappelle's here. But we couldn't get pictures. Like, you ain't even allowed to get your phone out round him like I was texting like this and one of his one of his boys came over

Starting point is 00:20:56 to get a picture of him yeah but uh Jeff Ross and Candyman took a few pictures in the Chinese though yeah but they said they're gonna send to us
Starting point is 00:21:03 they're a lot just big group pictures okay you're talking about a guy who exists in a stratosphere we don't fully understand do you know what though
Starting point is 00:21:13 I've got to be 100% honest with you like I want this to become the biggest thing in the world and I want to be able to sell a lot of tickets as a comic his entourage
Starting point is 00:21:23 and his whole life because of it is so intense it put me off for a bit that him and jeff ross was so unbelievably sound and a lot of his team were really really sound as well but there's an intensity to it and a nervousness about everyone that i was like a suspicion that's got to be someone trying to fuck them over yeah yeah he's got he's put he's to fuck them over. Yeah. Yeah. He's put his trust in these people who literally put their life
Starting point is 00:21:48 on the line for him. Well, but I mean, not to sound too like wanky wanky, but what's he done with you? Like, what's,
Starting point is 00:21:58 what have you done with Stee? I'd never met Stee and you got Stee. Finn, we employed because. No, no, no. But like, if someone comes up to me
Starting point is 00:22:04 in car asking for a photo at Leeds Festival, Stee isn't going, no, no, no, no no no but like if someone comes up to me and Carl asking for a photo at Leeds Festival Stee isn't going no no no but I mean no you're not there I mean he was I know you're not there
Starting point is 00:22:12 mate I reckon Stee can throw fuck in I but I mean on the very smallest level you've your
Starting point is 00:22:21 your status has grown what you're doing has grown like it's a bit different with you and me because we started the pod together but you got your boy in he got his boy in
Starting point is 00:22:29 like you do that and I imagine that if that had to grow it's not like you go right we're going to security are us
Starting point is 00:22:36 you're going to go to people you're just like we can all have our big black mates to come and do it like Dave Chappelle has all of them yeah
Starting point is 00:22:44 all none of them yeah all none of them yeah or just get Rob Thomas he can't he's turning circles very very large
Starting point is 00:22:52 but I've done the same with the tour I've got Antonio and Rummy and that's who I'm doing the triple C with and they're not like my best mates but they are
Starting point is 00:22:59 trustworthy the kind of people you trust and you know are gonna I wanna bring my mates with me on everything Like But it was What do you mean
Starting point is 00:23:07 These were his mates These were his boys As in like They don't seem like friends These are staff Oh Okay These are
Starting point is 00:23:15 Like These security guards Didn't go to school Which apparently has hired them From security at us They were young lads Who looked like they could Kill all of us
Starting point is 00:23:22 With like one arm And they were really Really really sound Really sound though But yeah okay Alright okay So I thought the entourage was his When you said his boys
Starting point is 00:23:30 I was like It's his boys now So they're sitting there like this At all times Heads on a swivel Like they're eating Without looking at what they're picking up Yeah
Starting point is 00:23:39 Do you know what I mean? Because I say I was like this Because I got a sneaky picture To be fair it's funny It's Adam sitting next to Chappelle in Chinatown That was before you knew not to Chappelle in Chinatown. That was before you knew not to? Yeah, but in the picture you can see the lad
Starting point is 00:23:49 in the background and he comes over and goes text with your phone down. Yeah. And I accidentally opened it like on WhatsApp because he sent it to our group on WhatsApp
Starting point is 00:23:58 before we were told off. And you had to go. But no, Jeff Ross seen it and went, don't do it. Oh, did he see him? Yeah. He seen it. He went, don't do it. And I was like, no, Yeah. He's seen it. He went, don't do it.
Starting point is 00:24:05 And I was like, no, I'm not. I went, he didn't know. And he went, okay. Yeah. Yeah, that's a bit intense, isn't it? Yeah. But I get it because he doesn't want to go.
Starting point is 00:24:13 I, listen, this, this is doing bits, but that is. That's what I mean. It was a total other level and I was like, I don't know whether I could handle that. Like he's the greatest comedian arguably of all time
Starting point is 00:24:27 he's certainly one of the most famous if not the most famous comedian on the planet right now and it just looks like a lot of work do you know what I do love about what he does especially in this country the format is very similar isn't it like you are on the circuit for a bit
Starting point is 00:24:45 and either through being brilliant and people buying tickets and doing well at Edinburgh or some agent signs you up and then you do a tour and then you're doing more TV and then you do a bigger tour and then basically you're either arena big or massive theatre big and do we see you ever again? Some comics come down but it's basically tour shows with supports that usually they don't know,
Starting point is 00:25:09 and they just go around and tour like that. What I love about Chappelle, just as a comedy fan who listens to American podcasts and watches a lot of that stuff, he really fucks around with the form of what him live is. Like, he does the shows with his mates. Like, Chris Rock, Chappelle could do the arena on his own. Him and Chris Rock doing it together is weird. The fact that he's got Jeff Ross, who should really be on his own fucking tour.
Starting point is 00:25:37 And then you hear stories of him going to Rogue and like, come to Red Rock this weekend, I'm doing this. And he flies his mates to do shows where the mates should be literally touring themselves and then and then just disappearing and turning up to comedy clubs unannounced for like a whole two months that's what I love I love the fact that they are messing around with what it is to be that famous that's what comedy I think should there should be surprises to it. Like, having you and Paul Smith both on a filmonic with me is not the done thing.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Like, comics don't do that, but I've seen it happen in America, and it's a cool way to do it. Me and Paul ended up on stage comparing a late show together a couple of months ago. That doesn't happen over here. It's just fun, and it should be different. and i guarantee you the people who were there that night when me and paul went on stage together and then did danny mclaughlin's poem at the end they went away from that night going we've seen something there that wasn't just another saturday night gateway the comics are going through the motions me and paul are twatted and that might never happen again yeah
Starting point is 00:26:44 and only 200 people got to see it in the room. Okay, there's clips and whatever, but if you weren't there, you probably never get that again. I've just remembered one of our plans for the year after next
Starting point is 00:26:55 and it's fucking around with the form of what it is to see live comedy. Do you know what was great? Someone asked him about the shows he put on in his house during COVID. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:04 And he was like, how much did it cost? And he went, oh, it cost me 7 million for the mall. And he went, but it's the funniest thing I've ever done.
Starting point is 00:27:09 He said, I lost money, but I was doing it to have fun. Oh, you lost 7 million? That's what I mean, yeah. But I was like, I looked at you, you didn't look back.
Starting point is 00:27:17 I was like, that's what we're doing. We're losing money. Yeah, we're losing 7 million. No, but I mean, we're putting money back into it just so we can, because you're like,
Starting point is 00:27:24 I just have fucking fun with it. Oh my God. Well, Preston was good though. There was a guy called Mango on the front row. That was mental. That was mental. Yeah, his surname sounded a bit like Mango.
Starting point is 00:27:38 It's mad. Mango. Shout out, Mango. That was Preston. Nearly as good. Do you know what I think, though? Do you know, going back to them playing with the former fucking around and stuff, I think as comics, like us and Vittorio,
Starting point is 00:27:54 and people like that who are starting to build their own fan base but are actual comics as well. I'm not talking about the people who just do Instagram selfie videos and get the chance to do a little tour. Vittorio has built a following for himself and just had a phenomenal Edinburgh Festival run by doing stand-up and podcast that are facilitating his stand-up.
Starting point is 00:28:14 As comics start doing that more and build their own fan base, I think comedy clubs are going to let us do what we want a bit more. And it will happen a lot more over here. And we, like, there'll be yeah. Do you know what I mean? And it will happen a lot more over here. And we like, there'll be a night where you're closing the frog and I'll be off and we'll be able to go to Jess.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Can we do it together and fuck about? And she'll be like, yeah, of course you can. And four years ago, that will have never been allowed or happened. Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I've got on it? I haven't even started my tour
Starting point is 00:28:41 and I've been turning up to preview, previews that I've sold out and they're like hello you can feel it off them there is a cost of living crisis the venues are like hi thank you thanks a lot like because there's not loads of acts selling out i i i genuinely think if you've done it like this and you've got a following because people are like, oh, really, right, you want to go and see you, people aren't arsed about the way it's been done anymore. Taskmaster does bits because it's very good,
Starting point is 00:29:13 but virtually every other vehicle on TV for stand-ups is a bit meh. Everyone's bored. Like, Mock the Week, they've finally just given up the ghost. And it doesn't sell tickets. So when you turn up, I don't think some of these venues fully understand how you've sold the tickets. I mean, the Frog do.
Starting point is 00:29:31 But yeah, if you then turn around and went, do you know what? Can we come back here, like, in a couple of months on a Thursday and do this? They're just going to be like, absolutely. Whereas maybe before,
Starting point is 00:29:43 they'd be like, well, actually, what we like to do on Thursday, it's a bit more of a set sort of, I don't, I think that's out the window now. I think it's going. But even phase one in Liverpool where you were doing your new bit stuff,
Starting point is 00:29:52 I was bored in Dubai and texted him and went, hey, can I have your availability for the rest of the year? And he went, yeah, yeah, there you go. What do you want to do? And I was like, I just want to fuck around and do some new stuff and he's like, okay, great. And I went, right, these eight dates I can do. And he was like, okay, so what three do you want to do and i went no i want i want the eight of them
Starting point is 00:30:08 and he went right okay can i get back to you i was like yeah he went yeah i suppose we could do that uh do you think they'll sell i went yeah i think so and i put them on sale and they all sold out within like 12 hours and i texted him like they're all sold out by the way and he was like what and i went i mean can i add 30 standing tickets for each one he was like what and i went i went can i add 30 standing tickets for each one he was like yeah and i texted him a few days later it was like september and uh october have sold out the standing tickets right okay are we doing this every month from now on and i was like no no no i'm just gonna do it whenever i feel the need to do it well i did that with the very first phase one because i knew it because it's in such a great it's across from where hot used to be hot water used to be on seal street i only knew it
Starting point is 00:30:49 because dean had done the mild high live show or no not a live show he's done shows yeah he got through through no he was doing a normal comedy through the through the jacaranda he knew them and i went in and had a meeting with him on the wednesday i was like i really want to do like sort of first tuesday of the month and the guy was like, I really want to do, like, sort of first Tuesday of the month. And the guy was like, cool, yeah, okay, we'll give it a go. How many are you looking at? Whatever. He's like, obviously you won't want to do Tuesday next week.
Starting point is 00:31:15 And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll give it a go. And I don't have the selling power that Adam's got by fucking any stretch. And also, it's not a have a word event. It's just me. I put it on the patreon that night i didn't even put it online and it sold out in it by the thursday like literally 24 hours and the message i did the same thing i was like oh yeah that's done that tuesday and he was like oh okay that's great yeah it's for it's amazing and uh and it's because of the support we get through
Starting point is 00:31:46 this but i like the fact that we're not going right we're gonna do this thursday friday saturday every like it's special these i love the fact that there's one-offs drop in the tour runs for a time and then it's done and then there's other ideas and like even how you and me compared blind date yeah i've never done i've never seen anyone do that before. And then how we compared Pins. You compared the first half, I compared the second half. Oh, that was a great idea. I'm really looking forward to those Adam Rowan friends of Phase 1.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Like, the September ones will be great, but that will be literally me dipping my toe for the first time, and I'm going to sort of riff and try and find bits. October, I've got Sarah Keyworth and Alfie Brown. I'll probably put, like, a local act on as well. But I'm looking forward to having three nights on the run with the same two comics, where we can all give each other a bit of try this, fix this, do that.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Sit around in the day and figure it out. Sarah Keyworth is a phenomenal up-and-coming stand-up. Alfie is one of my favourite comics and people on the planet. And having both of them for three nights, both of us, all three of us getting to just work it out. And I've done a few of those Ask Me Anythings on Instagram recently, as I'm sure you're all well aware. And someone asked me,
Starting point is 00:32:54 why are you doing your new stuff not at Hot Water anymore? I absolutely am doing new stuff at Hot Water. I just wanted to do these shows in a room that isn't Hot Water because I play that so much. I wanted to have a different room to do these shows in a room that isn't hot water because I play that so much. I wanted to have a different room to live in. Also, you do new stuff all over the shop. I've just said that I'll do Danny Mac's got a new material night in Chester and in the new year, I'll do that.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Yeah, you want to vary it a bit, don't you? Yeah. Oh, it's exciting times. Holy shit. Chappelle knows about have a word. La la la la. Let's have a break. I'm going to touch my penis.

Starting point is 01:32:44 I'm 12 years old Yeah What was it like Starting out in okay so we're similar i'm 12 years in yeah yeah what's what was it like starting out in new york especially when you're english it was good actually i think it was i'm really happy that that's where like my early years in stand-up were because i just think it's like you've got you build a better community of comics this is in my opinion do you know what i mean and like i just and also you can get to like loads of gigs in a night there's no money involved no one's getting paid to do it so you get to like fuck around and you're truly doing it because you're passionate about it whereas i feel like here quite quickly it's like well can i get on telly and i've got to go to edinburgh and then
Starting point is 01:33:18 like making money and then you can get sort of stuck in your set quite a bit because you're making money so you're not like playing around as much and you're probably not meeting comics on different levels the way you would in new york in new york where people just pop in i've done new york twice i love the vibe right i absolutely love it do you enjoy it yeah i think that's the only other place i've ever been on the planet that i could see myself living yeah exactly i'll never leave liverpool unless it's for new york Or maybe Austin, now that it seems like every fucking comedian in America has been moving to Austin.
Starting point is 01:33:47 Have you been to Austin? No. It's nice. Yeah. Yeah, it's all right. I've never done stand-up there, but I've been there. It's all right.
Starting point is 01:33:54 It's a vibe. But there's a lot of comics moving there now. Yeah. And I think that might become the new LA. I think comics might leave LA. Yeah. Stand-up in LA is horrible, man. Is it, yeah?
Starting point is 01:34:04 Yeah. Really brutal. So what's the difference? What's the difference between stand-up in New York new la i think comics might leave la yeah stand up in la is horrible man is it yeah really brutal so what's the difference what's the difference between stand up in new york and because they've both got tv and film going on there there must be producers knocking around everywhere i would say that like i mean look people go to la for a multitude of reasons but they're all kind of under the umbrella of fame and entertainment right right? And success is seen as fame out there. So I think when you're in LA, you get a lot of people, as far as the stand-up scene, might not necessarily be there because they're that into stand-up,
Starting point is 01:34:34 but they're there using stand-up as a vehicle to sort of cast the net wide and maybe something will stick in one way or another, right? So they're doing stand-up but they're also doing drama they're also acting they're also doing you know like improv and they're just doing a bunch of shit and thinking fuck hopefully something is gonna stick here for six and they're only really there because of the fame game right because that's that's you know that's the light that brings you as the moth to it right but so So I feel like in New York, people are there to really try and crack the craft, as it were,
Starting point is 01:35:09 because there's not much reward from doing it other than getting better. Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. Do you know what I'm saying? American podcasts, I think comics are that way as well. Meeting comics out there, they're out on a Wednesday doing three or four sets, and they don't need to be. These are people who have got big hit podcasts, roles in sitcoms, host their own shows, they're out on a Wednesday doing three or four sets and they don't need to be. These are people who have got big hit
Starting point is 01:35:25 podcasts, roles in sitcoms, host their own shows, they do something. They're out on a Wednesday doing four sets because they're like, oh, I want to get better at this. Ari Shafir moved back to New York and listening to him talk about the differences, like it sounds like that if you're the purest. That's why I love it because as you know
Starting point is 01:35:41 and all of our listeners, I'm obsessed with getting really good at stand up and it just seems to me like if you really truly want to do that New York has got to be the place to be yeah
Starting point is 01:35:51 like you know I haven't been there for a few years I said that to him last night yeah and I'm like my plan is to go back in October
Starting point is 01:35:57 and I was chatting to my agent and I was just like I just feel like I need to like brush up my stand up a bit because
Starting point is 01:36:03 you just get a bit, you can just, you can get a sort of full sense of, of self here because everything's quite safe. You're making money. It's going all right. You can sort of like lean into your sets that, you know,
Starting point is 01:36:15 that work there. And I kind of miss like, like me and Russell Hicks were chatting about this because we was at Top Secret. And then, and then Mark come, he's like, Oh,
Starting point is 01:36:27 Dylan Moran's just turned up. And he's going on. Then Russell Howard's going on. And we were like, fucking yeah. Because then you're a bit like, you know, like gets you on your toes and gets you amped. Right. And that's what happens in New York all the time, which is good. Because you kind of want to have that moment where they're like, oh, Jim Gaffigan's just jumped in. He's going to jump on before you and then
Starting point is 01:36:45 you want to sit there and shit yourself and go how the fuck am i ever gonna be able to follow that you're not but it's good to try it out and like at least push yourself where you're like i'm gonna give it my all and i don't know if you get that many opportunities to watch other stand-ups that are at a much higher level than you and have to be on the same bill as them like it's important these are kind of good not and not and makes me better on stage than the person before me smashing it right sometimes you can't follow it i had to follow but you pat yourself on the back for giving it a fucking try right yeah following schultz in front of his own crowd in new york was not easy or you're oh, I did a good account of myself there.
Starting point is 01:37:26 I did better than I would have if he wasn't on. Right. A couple of weeks ago, I don't know whether I even told you about this or spoke about it on the pod. I might have. So forgive us if this is reposition. I was doing the London store weekend
Starting point is 01:37:36 and it was the last show, the Saturday late show and I had to close the late show. And I was just done. I'd had a panic attack at Top Secret because it was too hot and I couldn't get my words out properly. And you know, it's your fifth set of the night at the store and I'm like, I just haven't got this gig in me at all.
Starting point is 01:37:50 I'm just done. And I'm like, I'm just gonna have to phone this in. Just gonna have to. And Baba Sunday was on right before me and he absolutely smashed it. And I went, well, I haven't got a choice now. I've just got to go on. And I had the best set I had all weekend.
Starting point is 01:38:06 When I did not have that left in me at all, like it had gone. I was already in bed in my head. I was like, I'm done for the night. I'm emotionally and like physically exhausted. I just need to go on, go through the motions and get the thing done. And he squatted it and he come off.
Starting point is 01:38:20 And I went, what the fuck was that? And he went, what? And I was like, and he went, do you know who you are and i went yeah yeah i do actually i'll be fine and i just literally dug as deep as i could went on and overperformed every bit and i was like oh that's actually what i'm supposed to do at every gig yeah i mean because sometimes i think when you're when you're doing gigs gigs gigs you can just get a bit stuck in your own head and you're traveling you're on your own and then you kind of sometimes forget like my job is to make you lot laugh of course we know that but you know when you watch someone absolutely destroy like bubble to that i've never seen him not kill a
Starting point is 01:38:54 fucking room right but you kind of i'm like oh yes like i want to at least try and be as good or better than you that's important being on a bill with guys who have all phoned it in, who all don't want to be here, the old junglers negativity of like, no one wanted to be there. It's so bad for your stand-up to surround yourself with that. To be on a bill, especially if sometimes when you go on after someone,
Starting point is 01:39:19 if it's not a great crowd, and their attention span's low or whatever, but that's not what's going on there in top secret they're a great crowd he's going on and smashing it but there's still a store this is the store good gigs in london proper gigs hot water the gigs in new york i bet like there's still something in the crowd being around really good comics who are trying brings it out of you doesn't it i'm sure the analogy works for so many creative things and even sport like surrounding yourself with people who are making you want to be better because you're inspired because you're competitive that's so good yeah yeah man it's that it's that healthy
Starting point is 01:39:56 competition do you know what i mean and i think if you're a bit too cocky you sort of like can drop the ball a little bit or get too complacent and be like i don't want to i want to, I'm not asked. That is the most attractive thing about New York to me. Yeah. Is that you're always going to have to go on after someone famous or brilliant has been on. So who, of all the acts you can think of, who's the one comedian who, because they're brilliant or because they're similar to you,
Starting point is 01:40:21 who would make you go, oh, fuck. Who's the one act that you would be like, holy shit, this is going to be rough? What, as in following? Yeah. As in say we were playing the Runcorn Arena tonight. Right. Do you know who it would be at the moment?
Starting point is 01:40:39 Jordan Gray. Okay. Because Jordan Gray is doing some next level shit, right? We did the Pleasance. I hadn't met her before. And we did the Pleasance Theatre in London. And I was like, all right. And they were like, oh, she's closing.
Starting point is 01:40:54 I was like, I haven't seen her before. I watched her and I was like, thank fuck for that. Because if I had to follow whatever the fuck. I've never worked with her. So Jordan Gray is a trans comic who's just been nominated for best show at the fringe but like four
Starting point is 01:41:08 like majority five and a couple of four side reviews and just absolutely blathered the fringe a show is called is it a bird
Starting point is 01:41:16 fucking hilarious right so good she she sings and as a comic when you see anyone get on stage with any kind
Starting point is 01:41:26 of instrument you're just like yeah all right then do you know what i mean this woman is fucking a powerhouse and the comedy is on point and she's just she's doing shit that i haven't seen anyone do and she's someone that like i'd in this, I'd be like, yeah, boy. Do you know what I mean? Like, I would shuffle onto the stage after. Do you know what I mean? And just be like, everyone,
Starting point is 01:41:52 this is a palate cleanser. Fucking relax. Who's the hardest person you've ever had to follow? Do you reckon? Tom Stade. Yeah? Yeah, Tom Stade, who asked to go in the middle at a gig in Manchester
Starting point is 01:42:01 on a Saturday night just after Meat Van had come out. Like, they knew that it was him just as he broke and he was like yeah I need to go on in the middle I think the promoter was like yeah because he's got to get somewhere and it turns out he just kind of fancied doing the middle and he was just in a position where he could basically say I want to do it he wasn't he didn't know who was meant to be closing so i got moved around and i tried my best i did that thing of like just try your best smash it and someone went fair play that like as i came off went fair play gave that a good shot one as good as tom you were
Starting point is 01:42:38 good like and i think there are times when you have to be like, I didn't go. The worst thing you can do is go, I should, like even bitch at the crowd about it. I mean, this is ridiculous. I shouldn't be here. Just get your fucking head down and do the shift. I'm sure I've been guilty of a whinge here and there,
Starting point is 01:42:56 but it's so much better when you go do the fucking gig. You got to stand up. And if, if in the end you're like, yeah, Tom was better. Like he was, Tom stayed at his best.
Starting point is 01:43:04 You've got to move past that, man. I think you can do that in the first few years of standup, where you can kind of be like, yeah, Tom was better. Like he was, Tom stayed at his best. You've got to move past that, man. I think you can do that in the first few years of stand-up where you can kind of be like, yeah, the audience, the crowd, blah, blah, blah. But mostly, I think if you're honest with yourself, it's normally something to do with you. Even if you get up and you kind of decide, definitely sometimes audiences can be a bit off and janky.
Starting point is 01:43:22 You don't know what's happened before. But more than anything, if I've had a weird gig, I kind of know something is going on you've had a bad day you were late you're stressed you're sweaty i'm sort of off beat i'm sort of in my head a bit i've decided i was gonna go before i go on i haven't given it the right thought i'm not getting on stage with the right intention i'm a bit pissed off my ego's a bit inflated something is normally going on with me because when i'm like humble and like what i want to do is fucking make these people laugh and i'm going on light and wanting to entertain people the gig goes fucking well do you know what i mean but i will say in new york i'm being at the stands which is
Starting point is 01:44:01 like great venue but the people that would drop in in, I was about to go on stage, they were like, Jim Gaffigan's turned up. I was like, wicked. So he went on and then they went, David Tell's turned up. And I was just like, make it end. Do you know what I mean? Make it end. And I went on and of course,
Starting point is 01:44:18 I'm not going to be as good as those guys. Do you know what I mean? But I'm honoured to be able to share the stage and try my best to follow. You know what i mean but i'm honored to be able to share the stage and and try my best to follow yeah you know what i'm saying and that's chappelle like we were talking because chappelle was is in liverpool like last night and tonight and these guys were there last night and he was at hot water what if someone had to fucking serious going on after chappelle dave chappelle for two o'clock in the morning you didn't are we there yeah oh mate and we took him
Starting point is 01:44:44 there as well are you for real he has to come on the podcast but we were like we've got michelle can you imagine i'd have been like ah it's like that then oh you got dave chapelle here we've had dave chapelle just before you you can follow yeah yeah yeah i'm like everyone seems really low energy and unbothered by my he'd be hard to follow yeah yeah jesus especially because he'd do two hours yeah that um last night he asked like me about working in new york and he's like oh ask me where i played and whatever and i just said i went i think that's one of the places i can see myself living at one of the few places and he went there isn't a comic that i
Starting point is 01:45:19 think is top level who has had a career that didn't go via new york interesting that's what he said interesting so what did he order uh he he got uh it's probably called don't worry michelle the salt and chili steak yeah with soft noodles and some shumais all right i'm getting that in tonight yeah very surreal experience did it so did you watch the show was it good he very deliberately uh was bombing ah so he went on at the end of the show so the show finished at half nine yeah he said i'll go on at 10 go and tell the audience dave chapelle's in he'll go on at 10 so they all stayed so compared that to phil for like 20 minutes 30 minutes and he went on with Jeff Ross
Starting point is 01:46:07 so he went on first and did 20 Jeff Ross went on with him they did an hour and a half together and it was a combination of them just talking to each other
Starting point is 01:46:14 hanging out and then they'd go hey what about remember when Joe Biden fell off his bike and they'd do two minutes it'd be really funny but then they'd spend
Starting point is 01:46:20 another five just finding the next thing they wanted to talk about and bombing just going ah it didn't work but everyone just sitting there like it sounds like a podcast with an audience but then they'd spend another five just finding the next thing they want to talk about. And bombing, just going, ah, it didn't work. But everyone's just sitting there like... It sounds like a podcast with an audience.
Starting point is 01:46:29 That's essentially what it was. Then they were doing stand-up within the podcast as well. It was amazing to watch, but it wasn't like he was ripping for two hours. No, but you're watching the process, right? Yeah, you're watching him in the gym. Yeah. He's literally going,
Starting point is 01:46:43 I'm literally doing this because I want to do it. And people were leaving leaving and he's like by the way if you want to go go but I will still be here when there's only 40 left he's like I'm going until I want to stop
Starting point is 01:46:52 he's like so if you want to leave it's fine I won't take offence to it and people were standing up from the front row he was saying bye he was going
Starting point is 01:46:57 like have a good night thanks for coming blah blah blah and the room was getting empty and he was like take it easy he's like I'm going nowhere by the way

Starting point is 01:54:56 Or like under your bed. Do you ever hang off the bed to get something from under the bed? Yeah. Yeah, that takes me a while to recover from. I honestly thought

Starting point is 01:56:17 before I started therapy I was so emotionally flat that I needed something to feel excitement watch a romcom watch nothing kill nah I wasn't doing it I needed something to feel excitement. Just watch a rom-com. Watch Nothing Kill. Nah.
Starting point is 01:56:27 I wasn't doing it. I needed something. Do you know what I mean? No, I don't need that. I'm a very emotional person, Michelle. Oh, yeah? Yeah. So it's too much for you?
Starting point is 01:56:35 If I watch a rom-com, I'm like, oh, isn't this lovely? But a horror film is just too much for me. It's sensually overloaded. Now I'd probably be all right, but I think there was a time where I was so like emotionally flat do you know what I mean so when you started doing therapy were you sort of disassociating what was what was the thing that yeah I think I just wasn't that connected to how I felt I think I'd been like suppressing the way I felt for so long that like I'd watch horror films on my own just to sort of like you know feel but i suppose then
Starting point is 01:57:07 that's the healthier reaction then if you're like i don't want horror films because they're dead scared that sounds more emotionally tuned in with yeah if you're like yeah i'm gonna shit myself up fuck off eat a muddy mint and leave my emotional videos what so low. Do you watch sad videos? What? So like someone's like oh look at this dog it's got no legs but like he's happy. Do you watch them? Yeah. Yeah. Sick of people.
Starting point is 01:57:29 I don't watch them. There's a sad video I watch almost every time I'm on Gover of a man and woman on their wedding day. No just the woman sorry. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:39 So. Clip it. Yeah. This is true. So what happened was the bride's dad had died and her favourite song was Butterfly Kisses
Starting point is 01:57:48 do you know that song yeah right so her brother because her brother's got like her brother's got quite a good voice yeah he recorded Butterfly Kisses
Starting point is 01:57:58 for her right and they played that as her first dance because her dad's not there she's dead I know the brother
Starting point is 01:58:03 her uncle and her grandad all danced to it instead and it's all there she's dead I know the brother her uncle and her grandad all dance with her instead and it's all emotion she's sobbing the whole time how do you watch it every time though have you got it saved have you got it
Starting point is 01:58:11 it's on YouTube right so you type in I just type I type Butterfly Kiss's wedding dance and then but like what's the fault behind it
Starting point is 01:58:19 so you're already you're hungover so you feel like I think I just take comfort in knowing that other people have gone through more difficult times than I'm going through
Starting point is 01:58:26 fucking hell oh my god and then I watch holocaust videos you know because I'm hungover as fuck but that was well worse
Starting point is 01:58:38 Jesus Christ turns out emotionally tuned in it's question marks question marks Michelle we get asked for advice a lot because you can tell Jesus Christ. Turns out, emotionally tuned in, it's question marks, question marks. Michelle, we get asked for advice a lot because you can tell we've got our shit together. So people...
Starting point is 01:58:54 People really want to hear from us. He's a sage. He's a wise, wise man. I am good at giving advice advice i'm just not very good at taking it i bet you are i mean because you're emotionally it's very true yeah yeah yeah and it's true isn't it you are awful at taking advice but i'm really good at giving it i normally know the right thing for a friend of mine to do yeah yeah i can believe that yeah uh this lad says agony adam wag wag lids so i've recently got back from spending
Starting point is 01:59:26 two months in germany with work while i was over there i got chatting to a bird from scotland online when i got back to the uk i went up there to stay with her but when i got to her house it became apparent that she's a fucking meth like there must have been at least a month's worth of rubbish on the kitchen units i couldn't bring myself to clean it for her um and i'd need at least two gas masks to even get in there and start it's fucking grim fast forward a couple of days and it was so bad i ended up cleaning it and it was honestly worse than anything i've ever done she's really nice but oh she's put a fucking scruff what should i do cheers lids anthony i'd say what's the fanny saying do you know what i mean what what's the fanny saying like is it as filthy because
Starting point is 02:00:14 clearly there was no indication suited to this podcast no but i'm just saying like clearly there was no indication right as someone who's gone down on my fair amount of women, you know, right? So if there was no indication to the fact that her house is a fucking dirty shithole, that you've already been sleeping with her and whatever, whatever, whatever, and then you clean the house and it's still disgusting.
Starting point is 02:00:39 Like, I think he's just not into mess. Cool, safe. You can either have her come and stay with you yeah wipe that memory from your head and just get stuck in to the minge question or question what if she just comes to your house and scruffs your house up well you think you can sort of keep on top of that but i am 100% with her i would much rather a woman clean a fanny than a house do you know what i'm saying you know what i'm saying like if we're talking about importance here yeah bro you was in germany having a time of your life with her
Starting point is 02:01:10 and then you went to her house but like if everything the opposite is so much worse yeah if she if you walk into a girl's house and she's like take your shoes off and then she's got fucking a fucking rotten fanny that's horrible isn what would you prefer you can't you can't listen you cannot have everything yeah and this is the thing these guys sound like a perfect match she's filthy he likes cleaning i don't see what the problem is yeah so what he needs to do to his house wherever the fuck he lives and just do your things and like send her home
Starting point is 02:01:48 with some flash wipes or whatever. Yeah. For her house and her fanny. Like, me and this girl would be a really bad match to be honest with you.
Starting point is 02:01:56 Right. Because my house gets a little bit messy sometimes but I clean my dick every day. He is. He is coming out as a fucking cunt. Every single day.
Starting point is 02:02:04 Every day. Every day. Every day. No, even on the Shabbat. I close my dick every morning. he is he is coming out every single day every day every day every day no even on the Shabbat I close my dick every morning even on the Sabbath he cleans his dick what
Starting point is 02:02:11 you're not getting a medal for that everyone does that yeah are you surprised really no I was taking a piss do you know what I mean
Starting point is 02:02:21 you should be doing it every day to clean it wow you're a hero pits and bits Do you know what I mean? You should be doing it. Every day to clean it. Wow. You're a hero. Hit some bits. I just know what women want. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:02:31 A clean dick. It's one of the things. Anthony, the wisdom. Isn't it? Isn't it? I'm great at giving advice. Clean your dick. Honestly, regardless of what the sort of vaginal cleanliness situation is, I can't do this.
Starting point is 02:02:48 What, you can't? I can't. You can't. Fucking look around this office. Are you for real? I know. You can't. You just fucking broke your tooth on a soft mint.
Starting point is 02:02:57 Are you all right? Are we all right? I'm going to get that fixed. I'm going to get a flash wipe for it. All right, so you can't do that you you this is why i want the uh studio tidy because then people come in and judge me it's a disgrace i've only got three teeth left just make my end of life care nicer who are you talking to there you get fucked we're just do you know what we need a cleaner in the new office
Starting point is 02:03:23 email this guy back and tell him that you got a job for him yeah what look so you i couldn't fuck someone that was scruffy you couldn't no yeah but he's already fucked her yeah i know but how is he gonna keep doing it when you're like you're beautiful even if she's beautiful and she's gorgeous but you're like oh my god just get over just like i bet in bedrooms a fucking state do you know what it's true though because like I remember like especially when I was younger like sleeping with them
Starting point is 02:03:48 fucking basic little hackney boys do you know what I mean and I'm a graphic designer I ride a fixed bike nowhere go rock climbing at the weekend
Starting point is 02:03:55 cool and then you get to their house and you're like you ain't got any toilet roll I'm drying myself with a t-shirt I'm wiping my noon with that centre bit
Starting point is 02:04:02 of the toilet roll like I'm not coming back here I'm not coming back I love how your attitude to that wasn't i'm leaving it's joe i'll stay for now but i might fuck coming back i'm not coming back i hope you had a good time when you see this face you ain't seen it again bruv when you have to dab piss with the cardboard bit of the toilet roll oh that's not good you know what i mean you know what I mean? Yeah. Thanks. Yeah, all right. Okay.
Starting point is 02:04:28 All right, so you're saying... I honestly, I don't know how it... It's not sustainable. Because what's the end game? Marrying a fucking pig. Nobody lives together and she learns. Yeah, people can change, Dan. And she's got roommates as well. She's got roommates.
Starting point is 02:04:42 It doesn't sound like it. It sounds like she's got mice. That's a win. Someone, no flat flatmate she's obviously doing all right maybe she's very busy paying her rent or mortgage ah that's what it is she's a fucking mcscruff i don't mind it me no of course you don't mind it because you're just for a while yeah but like i think i'd be bad for there because i i've had that in relationships before I'm like I'm fairly tidy now like if I notice
Starting point is 02:05:08 it's getting a bit messy I'm like I need to do an hour or two and sort this place out an hour or two what do you call messy just like I procrastinate as well
Starting point is 02:05:16 right so that hour is probably 20 minutes of cleaning but it takes me an hour to do it cleaning or tidy
Starting point is 02:05:23 this is how Adam cleans Aya can you come and do some cleaning no two hours gone no fuck off
Starting point is 02:05:31 yeah no my cleaner moved out three weeks ago no Dan no Dan he puts it in bin bags in the garage and someone collects that
Starting point is 02:05:37 I haven't got a garage anymore shame on you he's got a big window fuck the projection on that yeah you know but when I've been in relationships before
Starting point is 02:05:48 I've had arguments with the women I was with where they're like you're the scruff and I'm like no you're the scruff she's like you haven't moved this I'm like you haven't moved that that would be me in here because I'm better at tidying on my own now do you know what I mean
Starting point is 02:05:58 I keep on top of it if I've been away on tour I'll come in empty my suitcase and fill it back up and I'll just like it'll be messy do you know what I mean until I get come in Empty me suitcase And fill it back up And I'll just like It'll be messy Do you know what I mean
Starting point is 02:06:05 Until I get a couple of days Where I can source it out Your ass is a dirty shit Oh innit No I tell you what Do you know when I get back To my flat in a bit
Starting point is 02:06:15 No he tided it last week So it doesn't count Did it That'll be Enough time to mess it up My flat's sound The thing is as well When you live by yourself,
Starting point is 02:06:26 you do crusty shit that you would never do if there was someone else there. Do you know what I mean? Porrezo? Yeah. For example? You know, just like,
Starting point is 02:06:33 just leave your shit everywhere. Do you know, you might sort of put it back, but you know, sometimes I'll make toast or whatever and I'll just leave everything that I've taken out of the fridge on the side
Starting point is 02:06:42 because I think I can do what I want. It's yours? Yeah. But do you then put it away? Yeah, eventually, of course. I'm more prone to putting it away now that I live on my own. I don't know why.
Starting point is 02:06:52 Proud. I think I've grown. Yeah, sounds like it. Emotional growth. Is this the day of what Adam wants to be in his head? Wag-wag lids. This is for you, you'll love this. Been with my missus for six years
Starting point is 02:07:04 and have slept with one person other than her we got together late teens and now we have a mortgage so the commitments are real I am very much in love with her
Starting point is 02:07:12 and happy with her saving for a ring that level however had a weird conversation with my sister the other day and she's concerned that I'm not going to
Starting point is 02:07:21 experience my twenties properly and I'll end up doing fucked up shit down the line and break up the family like my dad did gambling house gambling the house away and cheat and just some random examples it has put uh thoughts in my head about missing out on things like traveling and shagging about life is short don't want to spend it in the confines of my house just because it's safe and sensible to invest young and be happy with the love of your life just run just wondering what you lids think about that not so much car because i know he and suarez have been together since reception um not only look it isn't is it car oh god hey come on
Starting point is 02:07:58 man you've said the name wrong uh looking forward to seeing dan in leeds then the whole sexy gang at the trump rally in de. Cheers, lids. So, been in with his missus for six years. Only slept with one other person and they're young and they're going committed early 20s. Do you know what I would say? Any worries? Don't underestimate the power of love.
Starting point is 02:08:22 Where's Adam? What have you done with him? I mean, mean if you found the love of your life yeah you've won yeah you've won is it isn't it weird that he's saying i've met the love of my life and i'm worried that i'm gonna be missing out but it's not even what it's not even him that's it's his fucking sister who's there who sounds dirty by the way she's probably not had the best time with guys and is
Starting point is 02:08:47 projecting some shit on him that's then making him want to think maybe I should do that now totally
Starting point is 02:08:52 so what you need to do is stop speaking to your sister yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 02:08:56 yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 02:08:56 yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 02:08:56 yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 02:08:56 yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Fill your water with cordial And it'll get thicker Yeah She sounds like a problem
Starting point is 02:09:04 Love cordial Stick it on me Cheers Right now Blood is thicker than water My ass Stick cordial in your water And it will be thicker
Starting point is 02:09:14 And then you've got orange blood What? What did you say? Yeah I thought so I think his sister is absolutely spot on Shag about Live your 20s I'm throwing it out there

Starting point is 02:09:34 I did this no but I've done this and I'm happy and it's fine you can be happy it's like he says to fuck off yeah but he specifically said
Starting point is 02:09:40 I'm not arsed about Carl thinks because him and Luis Suarez have sound off I'm not arsed about Carl thinks because he's doing the same thing shut up the thing is as well right is that like yeah you can go you fuck about most of it would be mediocre you have a couple great shags a couple really shit ones you have some stories to tell your mates that's it that is it though that is literally i i've done a bit of fucking you know pokingoking about Anytime Can you not do it like that
Starting point is 02:10:06 This is how I This is how I finger the two women I'm with at the same time Because that's what he does In the clubs That he's always in I know Monday night

Starting point is 02:10:51 yeah so you've had both and what i'm saying is i've had both stick your dick in everything fucking time and you know what when i think about it, like it's taken me a while to meet someone I'm into. But up until then, I was still pining after people that I dated in my early 20s that I would truly had a connection with. But really I was like, but there's more soggy cock out there. I want to try it.
Starting point is 02:11:19 What have you met Laura when you were 25? That's like my internal monologue. What? What have you met Laura when you were 25? I would have fucked it up. Exactly. And he's trying not to. Is 25? I would have fucked it up. Exactly. And he's trying not to. Yeah, so why is that?
Starting point is 02:11:28 I'm to fuck it up? Exactly, man. Because you just got it later on? You know why? There's loads of Lauras. No, I'm joking. I'm joking. Oh, man.
Starting point is 02:11:37 I'm messing about. But for real, though, obviously you're with someone that you're truly connected with, right? But don't we all think of someone in our early 20s or late teens that you're like truly connected with right but don't we all like think of someone in their early 20s or late 20s that you broke up with because you was just like I'm the same in the world and actually
Starting point is 02:11:52 years later you do think and you go you know what that person was actually a fucking good match for me but because I didn't have much experience I didn't trust my instincts you know what I mean you second guessed them because you didn't you thought that you needed to go through more stuff because you didn't trust my instincts. You know what I mean? You second guessed them because you didn't, you thought that you needed to go through more stuff because you didn't trust yourself yet.
Starting point is 02:12:09 I have got this exact person. Back yourself. That's what I did. If you'd have got with them, you'd have divorced them by now and be with who you're with. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 02:12:17 What? There's no one that springs to mind for you for that? Like, wait, like obviously you're married. She was a bad meth. I think about this girl once a month at least. Thank you. And I bet now you're like- We were never together.
Starting point is 02:12:29 I passed her on the escalators on the tube. But like, I just knew. Do you know what I mean? You just followed her around and there was a restraining order, but it's like, ugh. Love. If it wasn't for the courts-
Starting point is 02:12:37 Love. You like taking this seriously. Right? This is my fucking podcast and you lot are making an absolute mess of it i could be in liverpool now but i'm not i'm fucking wrong um i i think stick with it stick with it lad because here's the thing i'll tell you right now i'll tell you right now tell you right now listen look right here right here ignore him right here i've zoomed into your face
Starting point is 02:13:05 if you if you fuck this up right and you he zoomed it fuck everything if you fuck this up and you fuck everyone else live for me listen you'll regret it because you'll always think what if i had a commitment to that and she'll get that happy she'll have a couple of kids with someone called bruce or something and you'll hate bruce because he should be you should be bruce you know what i've got one more thing to add to this maybe what he needs maybe what he needs to do is reassure his sister that he is still going to be just as close with her when he gets married because i wonder if that's the root of this his sister planting these little fucking seeds is actually her fear of abandonment because her dad abandoned her
Starting point is 02:13:47 and he's the man in her life. So maybe what he needs to do is just reassure her and go, stop being a toxic little cunt, all right? I'm not going anywhere. Well,
Starting point is 02:13:56 if we're doing proper answers, that was the one. But I'd also say, fuck everything. Your dad sounds like a ledge. Shagga disgusting just
Starting point is 02:14:08 sticking in loads of Suarez's and the joke about lots of Laura's was a joke how many podcasts I love you baby Dan's wife does listen to the podcast you're my everything
Starting point is 02:14:19 genuinely if I'd have met my wife ten years before I'd have just ended up losing a good one. But you don't know that? Because it could have just been the one where you go, oh. Let me have a look.
Starting point is 02:14:31 Yeah, I do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why? Yeah, because I was wanting to stick my willy in it for the soggy things. Why are you pointing to me? Because I referenced it. So you'd have felt them things and gone, oh. I was in Manhattan clubbing.
Starting point is 02:14:42 This is the main soggy one. Monday night. So do you not think there's anyone you could have met back then? When it would have just changed who you are? No. You're soulless. What? Just fucking everyone and taking pills.
Starting point is 02:15:00 Oh God, it sounds so good. Honestly, those two things don't go together. I mean, As a lifestyle Do you not take pills And fuck now I mean You can But in my experience
Starting point is 02:15:11 You have to have Bolognese first You've got to have The bolognese first From before That was from before Alright Shall we close this one off
Starting point is 02:15:20 With Now I'm just going to say In brackets Because We sniff bullshit around here This one's a bit far fetched with, now I'm just going to say in brackets, because we sniff bullshit around here. This one's a bit far-fetched, but it's kind of fun. So let's just assume that it's, but it is a bit far-fetched. I'll try and assume that it is. This is from Anonymous.
Starting point is 02:15:38 My mum's friend recently died. Oh shit. Hang on, don't press that. We don't know whether she's a cunt, yeah? My mum's friend recently died of cancer and she wasn't a dick. I didn't go to the funeral, but I came home to my mum crying about it.
Starting point is 02:15:54 She also had been given a little tube with a cork in the top of her friend's ashes to sprinkle in a place she saw fit. A couple of nights later, I had my mates around as my parents had gone away his mates and also the line of Hilda
Starting point is 02:16:07 what unfolded was what I could describe as a bit of a catty night when I woke up in the morning after I saw the tube was open and empty
Starting point is 02:16:14 thinking on my feet I filled it with white sand from our garden and a little bit of dirt and it looked exactly the same do I tell my mum
Starting point is 02:16:23 that we spilled the ashes which isn't 100% true, but still not great, or never mention it to her and let her have fake ashes in the mantelpiece forever? Yes, yes, lie. Yeah, lie until the day you die and then tell her. Yes, and then take the hoover bag
Starting point is 02:16:40 and sprinkle that somewhere. Do you know what I mean? So you've done your bit. But like, yeah, lie. Never tell your mum, mom your grieving mom that you've snorted auntie linda did they snort it or did you knock it over you can't be snorting people i think he's snorted it yeah smoking it'd be funny yeah they've had a catty night and they've seen something they've been like that's more okay yeah you can't be sniffing people. Her name was Kay as well.
Starting point is 02:17:06 Oh, that's not the worst. She was in a K-hole. Oh, words. Yeah, I'd take that one to the grave, wouldn't you? Yeah, what do you gain from telling your mum? Nothing. I think the truth is very, very, very important. If your mum ever asks you, did this happen?
Starting point is 02:17:24 You tell her the truth. Yeah. Because she's asked then. Yeah. Because that is a lie did this happen you tell her the truth yeah because she's asked then yeah that is a lie yeah withholding the truth you're on trial here until the fucking the prosecution asks you the question don't be fucking dobbing yourself in yeah and also it's to relieve yourself of guilt but it's not going to do anything to make your mom feel any better it's selfish to tell your mum. Exactly. Yes. Here's one problem. This sounds like a come down email.
Starting point is 02:17:49 It's just like, it'll pass. Don't worry, mate. What if snorting your mum's dead friend is the best high you've ever had? That's the problem, isn't it? Get a new job.
