Starting point is 00:07:03 I know you've done a gig for the returning soldiers,. Have you ever done a gig for the TA? I know you've done a gig for the returning soldiers, but have you ever done a gig for the TA? What? Have you ever done any comedy for the TA? What did I get? I did that Christmas do. No, you didn't. Two years in a row.
Starting point is 00:07:16 I don't get a Christmas do. They do. They just meet up on Tuesday nights. Fuck off. I spent the millennium at the TA. Do you know when we ticked over Y2K or La? I was in the TA barracks celebrating. I haven't even missed.
Starting point is 00:07:30 He's told me this before. Why? Right, there's two stories here. But they're going to be equally TikTok'd. Which one? Which one are we telling first? Go with Mr. Rob. No, go on, Carl.
Starting point is 00:07:40 My brother was in the TA. But what, Scary Paul? I mean, he's not a Spice Girl, but yeah. The big one? Who's Sam and me, but I wouldn't fuck with? Yeah, yeah, he was in the TA. Right, okay. Well, that's not...
Starting point is 00:07:54 Is he still in there? No, he's grown up now. How? Whoa. This was 23 years ago, wasn't it? They need men for the TA. What? Don't they?
Starting point is 00:08:03 You mean he was in the cadets? No, he was in the TA. But the TA is adults. You know what I mean? No, but you look at me like, lad, he's in his 40s. There's no grown men who go to the TA in their 40s. I hope not.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Are there? Oh my God. And I tell you what, here's proof, because he played to them at a Christmas game. Do you think the TA is just like the under 21s? No, I thought it was like, it was something you did
Starting point is 00:08:25 and then you go into the real army when you grow up. No, it's like the Olympic football team. It's mainly under 23s with a couple of paedophiles. That's what I mean. No respected man in his 40s goes,
Starting point is 00:08:35 we want TA. Well, I did the Christmas do two years in a row. Oh, shit. And the first year I tried to take the piss out of them for being in the TA and not the army
Starting point is 00:08:43 and they do not like that because they want respect they're like police community support officers in that they're like you should respect me the same level
Starting point is 00:08:52 as a police officer but nobody does but they've got no humour about it like we can laugh about police community support officers but if you take the piss
Starting point is 00:08:58 out of one to their face they're not a big fan of it I did that the first year and it did not work and I bombed for like 20 minutes but you were ready
Starting point is 00:09:07 the only person in the whole room who's ever dropped a bomb mate a bunch of shit houses joke and then the year after
Starting point is 00:09:14 I went back because they asked for me back and they were like yeah no we liked him he was just a bit a bit much
Starting point is 00:09:21 a bit on the nose but he thought he was sound so I there's a great review of your comedy. So I did it again, and bombed again, because I thought,
Starting point is 00:09:31 they've asked me back. They probably liked it, but just didn't want to laugh at the time. So I was like, ah, last year you didn't like it when I called you all fucking toy soldiers, did you? You bunch of fucking little plastic green little army men.
Starting point is 00:09:41 And they were all like, what are you doing, mate? We gave you the second crack at this. Like Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes going back for more isn't it their job to go there's a war
Starting point is 00:09:49 that's their only point like no they just go hey real men there's a war no they get told there's a war
Starting point is 00:09:55 no they see the war happening and go they run back to the army and go boys there's a war and then they stand behind them the messengers where do you think
Starting point is 00:10:01 the TA are based because it's a chill war you know they're not like in war zones. There was one in Daisy, wasn't there? That's where they're lying to. What, the Daisy TA?
Starting point is 00:10:10 Nailed. Daysbrook. Oh, sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're in the Daisy TA, mate. Well, there's a new build of houses in Daysbrook and all of the roads are named like Sergeant Way and Corporal Corner.
Starting point is 00:10:22 named like Sergeant Way and Corporal Corner. That alliteration, Sergeant Way, you know. You have to go for another one. Sergeant Way, Corporal Corner, Commander Avenue. Commander Avenue,
Starting point is 00:10:35 I think is one of them. Yeah, like, it's like Cadet Road as well. Yeah. Genuinely. And there's bodies. Waterboarding lane. There used to be a, be a genuine training base there,
Starting point is 00:10:47 and it got knocked down to build these houses because obviously it was peacetime. Oh, and since then, they've been out just underground, like the A-team. But if you need help anywhere near Daisy, you know who to call. Carl's brother. No?
Starting point is 00:11:03 Well, the thing is, apparently a lot of weird things happen around there. And my mate's autistic son screams blue man every time they drive past it. That's the Arctic Monkeys, definitely. Come on. My friend's autistic. I nearly said blue son.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Go on. Right, so what goes on that's weird? I am high. Apparently there's bodies under there. Yeah the the ta have buried the fuck are you talking about adam have you been told that yeah so there's territorial territorial army ghost no not the army the army put them there, mate. Like Hank Schrader. No, so, is it the real army that were there?
Starting point is 00:11:52 Or is it just the TA base? I've got to be honest with you, Dan. My knowledge on this is limited. It used to be a former TA barracks. Do you reckon your brother killed anyone? You haven't told me if he did. Right. He does make that noise. They're not even allowed guns, though.
Starting point is 00:12:04 So how are they killing people? Bare hands. Oh, right, yeah. Now, you're having a munch punch, everyone, and you deserve it. But let's train how you kill with a spoon. Right? So you finish your munch punch.
Starting point is 00:12:14 You're not wasting that. The attacker's coming. To the neck! To the neck! Kidney! Kidney! Finish your munch punch. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:20 That's Tuesday night. Bury the body under there. Let me go to Tesco. And no one will ever work out when it's renamed Human Burial Ground Road. Hide in plain sight. Unlike you lot,
Starting point is 00:12:36 you've got to hide, you know, under things, around them. Camouflage. Don't hide in plain sight. You'll get shot. That's stupid. That's the first rule of the TA imagine doing that
Starting point is 00:12:45 in the army I'm playing I just said blow why are you wearing that Liverpool away kit Steve I'm hiding in plain sight
Starting point is 00:12:54 they won't see me it's bright yellow you fucking knobhead oh my god the Russell Brands I joined the TA just for a laugh we should do that
Starting point is 00:13:08 as a special we all joined the TA it will be particularly special I did go a couple of times when I was a kid it's so good that you got out alive man I just didn't
Starting point is 00:13:19 the way they spoke to me I just couldn't handle it obviously yeah same here I don't get it like it's 2023 now. It wasn't then.
Starting point is 00:13:27 That's what he said. Hey, mate, it's 2023 in the future. That's where you got chucked out. Hey, what are you doing? Corporal Row. Hey, it's 2023. It's fucking not. It's 2001.
Starting point is 00:13:47 He's fucking mental! He's either time travelling or he's fucking stupid! He can't be trusted with a munchpunch, you know what I mean. Dangerous. What has to happen for them to get called up? Is that done now? No, it's your spit. Why would you not put your own spit back in your mouth? Why didn't I just put it on the floor?
Starting point is 00:14:05 What has to happen for... Do you want me to have some Diet Coke and I'll dribble it into your mouth? And I'll be like, that's how the mummy bear feeds the chicks. No, I don't want that. I don't want that. I mean, I like it when we're closer,
Starting point is 00:14:23 but that's too much. Adam, as a former, what would you say? Soldier. Soldier. A veteran. Adam's had his veteran state. I was having a free time. Those police say it.
Starting point is 00:14:37 I was an internet free time. Thank you for your service. And do you have any allergies? Stolen valour. There's no need for the way these fucking Sergeant Major guns speak to people. Like Sergeant Majors? Yeah. Hey, you do this!
Starting point is 00:14:51 It's like, say please. Well, it's just because you've got a better act than me. You get to talk to me like shit. Fuck off, John. I think it's fair to say that the Army Cadets, if they're sort of trying to filter out who's going to be suited to actually serving in the armed forces, did a job there with you, didn't they?
Starting point is 00:15:08 If you'd have ended up in that sign-up office, I think it would have been a fucking nightmare. You'd have maybe got four days into like basic training and then just gone. Nah. I need the last week of July off, John. Going to Mykonos.
Starting point is 00:15:23 We're at war, Adam. I don't give a fuck, mate. It's all inclusive. Is the war in Mykonos. Hey, Sergeant Major. We're at war, Adam. I don't give a fuck, mate. It's all inclusive. Is the war in Mykonos? Because I'll go. Can I be put somewhere that's got an all-inclusive war-wise? All-inclusive war. World War II?
Starting point is 00:15:39 Nine to five, Monday to Friday. I'm going to need the weekends to myself. But Adam, what has to happen for the TA to be called into action? They have to be... I think they are literally ground war. Like, if people come to the UK,
Starting point is 00:15:52 this is our territory. So they never go abroad. It's all, it's only if it ends up here and I am making all this up on the spot by the way but I feel like I'm right.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Yeah. Even though no one's ever told me this, I feel like I'm right. Go on. I think it's our territory, so they have to be here and it has to be like last resort.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Like they've, you know. Yeah. All the army's dead. Oh, hang on. If we get invaded and there's actually people on the ground, it's not last resort. The TA will be literally jizzing their knickers.
Starting point is 00:16:20 This is what we train for. They'll be in. I even think the TA go on deployment abroad, you know. I think. My brother went to Gibraltar. I remember that. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:33 So it was great. Yeah, defend the rock. Totally irrelevant. Just to defend the rock. He was there as well. Him and Kevin Hart. Now we've got a special job coming. Paul, we need a bodyguard for the rock. And Kevin Hart now we've got a special job coming Paul

Starting point is 00:16:55 and we just Spanish people going please can we have your bag please it's definitely ours and everyone like no it's not it's our rock

Starting point is 00:17:38 No. What? Shaking heads. You can't fly to Gibraltar passport free? Would you not just need ID? Shut up, James. You can if you threaten the people at the airport. There you go.

Starting point is 00:17:59 What? You have two guns. Yeah, that is a mistake, isn't it? Yeah, that's the unwanted one. It's me, Bazooka. Fly the plane, cunt. Yeah, if you threaten anyone with a gun, don't put it down and go,
Starting point is 00:18:07 look at that, touch that. What's that? A gun. And I've got it. Oh, you're holding it now. Touche. I think we all joined some kind of armed forces. Navy.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Oh, I'm definitely one. RAF. Oh, hang on. I'm one Air Force. Why? Well, my granddad and my uncle are in the Air Force. You can barely drive your car. Never mind.

Starting point is 00:18:35 Beep boop. No, you're not allowed to fly a jet. I wonder if there's any course records I could break in the sky. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, there will be. I mean, there's every course record if you just make them up
Starting point is 00:18:46 and pretend you've broken them. That's the way to do it, isn't it? You told me I'd broken it. I know. Because you couldn't beat me. I know. Damn that new watch. The Red Bull Air Race.
Starting point is 00:18:55 I think that's a track in the sky, isn't it? They just do, they like have little one-seater, really fucking nifty little ones. They're all, they're higher on caffeine than I am right now and they go what

Starting point is 00:20:28 But Jack was pretty chill and Jasmine was pretty chill. It was just Etta that was like fucking keyed up. And I heard a mum... Do you think she's found your coke stash? Oh my God, that would be instant divorce. I did have some edibles in the house the other week, but I was like, what damage could that do? It's just a big nap in it. She, which honestly at the time i would
Starting point is 00:20:46 have loved to just force feed her edibles she needed it so it was just etta i heard her mum go could you just chill out stop screaming she was screaming she was so excited this is just in the house and then i like i'm stepping in going i'm like the second line of defense i came in i was like etta darling stop screaming i've heard you be worn five times i've had i've had to now tell you three times it got to the fourth time one point she was so revved up and i was like i'm not going in like shouting i was like darling just calm down everyone's chilled jasmine's chilled jack's chilled you're revved up she was like no like i don't know what was going on she was either tired or sugared up or just too excited and i was like listen otherwise you're just going

Starting point is 00:21:54 you're going would make her go, oh shit, yeah, I will go. And she just went, no, and sort of just like planked. And I was like, I was like, oh oh so we're never physical with the kids obviously we've never had to be she's only fucking six right but you remember as a kid as a kid you don't want to do it but you want the threat to be there in shadow box i'll just faint so my dad never smacked us on i don't know where you're like my mum never hit us my dad never smacked us on... I don't know where you're... My mum never hit us. My dad never touched me. No, he didn't.
Starting point is 00:22:27 My dad was scared of me. My dad used to lift my arm up so I was stretched and then hit the back of my legs. Finn. Huh? Sorry, Dan. What did you just whisper to me, Finn?
Starting point is 00:22:37 My dad hit me with a lightsaber. That's a podcast. A real one. No. Toy one. He said to me, my dad battered me. With a lightsaber.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Oh. But it's the force. Were you having like a fucking zoom? Or was it like you'd done something wrong and he was getting you? Was he rough with your brother and your sister? Or was it just you that got that? Are we doing therapy?
Starting point is 00:23:00 What's his name again? Memo. Darth Memo. I am your father. I am your father. Just the Turkish way, innit? Yeah. Do you know what?
Starting point is 00:23:12 There's been a lot of acceptance of some of your dad's bullshit from just going, he's Turkish. So, what's the Turkish army? Use lightsabers. No, but... Here's a question.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Was the lightsaber yours or his? Do you know what the best bit was? It was a red one. It was a dark side one. I was going to say, is it red? Yeah, it was... Was it yours or his? Do you know what the best bit was? It was a red one It was a dark side one I was going to say, is it red? Yeah, it was Was it yours or his? It was Count Dooku
Starting point is 00:23:29 That's a good question Was it yours or his? Right, I'm going to get lightsaber He talks like that Was it yours or his? Is he Northern Turkish? Yeah, yeah You're right
Starting point is 00:23:38 Listen, it's a bit different for me Was it your dance lightsaber? Like, he's the equivalent of Bristol I think it was, know right well in turkey uh no it was my lights i was scared of my dad and i don't want i ever want my kids to be scared of me and i don't think i think you're right i don't think etta is scared enough yeah because i like like lifted her and forced up says then she just gave up and she sort of ran to her room and i was like get in your room and then she sort of ran to a room and i was like get
Starting point is 00:24:05 in your room and then she started trying to open the door and i was like you're just gonna have to do a timeout but she wouldn't have stayed in the room so she kept opening the door so i was literally in the door and i was like you are i'm now shouting which i don't do a lot i was like you are staying in this room and she started running at me have you seen on online those one-on-one drills in the nfl yeah or in like school football where they get one player one player one's got the ball and you're you're in a corridor and you've just got to twat through or get past the next person she tried it five times in a row and i swear by the fifth time there was like a fucking craziness in her eyes where she was just fucking running to me
Starting point is 00:24:45 and uh i honestly think she would have if if she'd have gone cool this is like a an axe she's like oh i've got to use that's why you don't give six-year-olds axes what's a punishment so that's gonna last a week for me so i ended up like cage doesn't seem like such a bad idea now does it oh man yeah so i closed the door and stayed on the landing jack is now old enough that he he gets that this is a major boot off but i could also tell that he was like that bitch in trouble so jack came up and he was like he was like literally like crying i was like she is and i know that she's now listening she's like wailing like a fucking like a widow like she's so angry at this point finn's that and where's my light
Starting point is 00:25:34 and he was on the you could tell he was like i'm good though aren't i yeah i'm probably your favorite what do you want to do do you want to play or something i don't know i need to be within earshot just to hear how badly this goes but i'm pretty chilled out i've never seen her that fucking angry and then laura had to go in and and at one point she was still so upset that she tried to throw herself off the bed it's the most mental like temper i've ever seen and she's six And I fear for our futures because when hormones hit, it's going to be unbelievable. And what's your punishment?
Starting point is 00:26:12 So Laura is like, you know, the hostage negotiator. She's like the one. Sean Connery? Yeah. I can't do that. I'm not good at it. And also it was me and her that had the kickoff.
Starting point is 00:26:24 So Laura went in and basically gave her a more controlled bollocking like went in and went that is unacceptable you tried to basically hit daddy and that is never acceptable and she was still upset she did a good sort of 10 minutes of calming her down and then etta came into me to say sorry and hugged me crying but it was one of them hugs where you're like she really was like she just lost control i've i've never seen anything like no dancing next week so i'd say jasmine's not coming around yeah there's gonna be some consequence it should be there was a tuck shop uh the next day they do like a weekly tuck shop at the school and she didn't get any money
Starting point is 00:27:05 for that. But now I'm thinking it's probably not enough punishment. You're not going dancing next week and Jasmine's not coming around. And you've got to
Starting point is 00:27:14 make me a lovely cake. Right. Yeah. From scratch on your own. No help, no recipe. No eggs. Until you bring me
Starting point is 00:27:21 a perfect cake this punishment continues. No dancing for you mate so that's been grounded for 11 years I honestly if I had to make a cake that a six year old mate
Starting point is 00:27:32 that would be more punishment for me than anyone yeah you're gonna clean the kitchen never seen anything I'm genuinely it was like oh fuck I'm quite scared of she needs to learn
Starting point is 00:27:40 that that baby will not fly in Cassidy Nightingale yeah unbelievable good luck everyone did you win the good luck when you're dealing with this i'll have kids that hate me it'll be great wallace is dead easy just pick them up i know but you're definitely having babbitt soon aren't you i love it by the way that is the thing that i've seen a lot so on the special
Starting point is 00:27:59 do you remember i pointed at daddy daniel Do you remember? In the gift shop. It's two things. It says Daddy Daniel. But in the special, you only see me pointing at Daddy. So I was like, Colin, sorry, are you pregnant? We're not.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Did everyone think you were doing an Easter egg? Loads of people think we're having a baby. I promise you we're not. We're not trying. It's twins! Twins! I'm calling them adam and adam two girls no we're not having a baby and we might not ever have babies so if you hold no hope yeah but you might not ever get married oh that's right you are yeah bit of a difference though and that's one day babies are like 21 god you're gonna be a great dad and you are gonna be a dad i can't wait to be there for it.
Starting point is 00:28:45 In eight months. From five months earlier, I've got twins. Four weeks. I don't want babies right now. No, you don't. I'm not. Are you feeling eight months
Starting point is 00:28:55 when they're here? Biological clocks are ticking. Not mine. And this is the best bit. When you have kids, Adam will get jealous and then he'll want kids. He'll have kids before me, if he has kids.
Starting point is 00:29:06 We've all spoken about this. This is a deep chat, isn't it? On the train home from London, we spoke about how much we want kids in a percent wise and they've both dropped a lot in the last... Mine hasn't dropped a lot. I think a year or two ago, I was absolutely non-negotiable. I am having children.
Starting point is 00:29:23 And now I'm like, I really want children and now I'm like I really want them but I'm like 95% rather than 100 it's still really up there but like it wouldn't be if it never happens now I wouldn't be like
Starting point is 00:29:36 that's a massive shock just because of how things have gone and how my life has gone but do I definitely still want them yeah is it an absolute
Starting point is 00:29:43 non-negotiable not quite but it is still nearly there it's the greatest thing I've ever done in my life do I definitely still want them? Yeah. Is it an absolute non-negotiable? Not quite, but it is still nearly there. It's the greatest thing I've ever done in my life. And I've done a lot of fun stuff. And not that it isn't. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:29:53 that's true. Hopefully no one at the Philharmonic tries to kill me five times. But when I was younger, I always like, even when I was at my most, like I was going out and getting wrecked on the weekends. And I was like, yeah, I want to be a dad one day. And there's not a lot of lads i've met in their 20s who are
Starting point is 00:30:09 like yeah i want to be a dad not that there aren't and there will be some but you like you've since i've known you and since we've been talking like especially since we've been doing the podcast you're like yeah i want to be a dad one day and i know 95 is less it's still a fucking landslide and there just comes a point that when you're with someone you get to an age where you start just doing the math
Starting point is 00:30:29 on the fucking the the clock exactly but no pressure no pressure right now my our percent
Starting point is 00:30:38 because we're a team is 20% well and I could change it a year we could go do you know what
Starting point is 00:30:45 do you want to do some babysitting I've I've what do you do Tuesday nights because they're a problem evening for us at the moment I love kids I've got a niece
Starting point is 00:30:53 who I love I love her so much but like it's different you get to look after them it's great being an uncle though isn't it yeah
Starting point is 00:30:58 because I get to do all the sick stuff and I'm the cool uncle I've got a lovely dog she loves but I just can't be arsed with a kid like at 4am go and give me a bevy no i'm a kip yeah about an hour's enough a couple of hours is enough in it yeah 4am i'm hungry so am i bollocks mate that that's the bit i don't want i've shit me kegs belter deal with it and make me a cake in two separate moves.
Starting point is 00:31:25 I just don't want my life. I'm very happy and content with my life right now. And getting a puppy, I know you joke about it. It's still adding a bit of difficulty to your life. No, mate, totally. Throwing a baby in there when you're happy. My boy's been born. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:31:40 But trust me, it's hard. I know it is. Having a puppy is naughty. You've had one for a couple of days famously I've had many dogs six last year erm

Starting point is 00:43:47 It's from Alex Charles. Pet peeve. People not putting the trolley back in the trolley spaces when you're trying to park your car. Nope. We've had it before. Have we? Have they put their trolleys in the car parking space? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:58 I've just left it in the one next to it. That doesn't happen in my local Tesco, so I can't hear it. Very respectful Tesco. Finley Gross Fills. Cool. When you get given a limited amount of condiment
Starting point is 00:44:10 for your food and you somehow end up over rationing and having too much for your final mouthful. Yeah, that is annoying. So when you,
Starting point is 00:44:17 what, you get given a little sauce pot and you're trying to ration yourself so you're only having a little bit. Just ask for more sauce
Starting point is 00:44:23 and stop being a shithouse. No, that's not a pet peeve, that's you being a shithouse. No, that's not a pet peeve. That's you being a shithouse in a restaurant. I did that yesterday with a Nutella Go. Yeah. Got like a choc dip.
Starting point is 00:44:31 You can't ask for more of that. It's difficult to ration a choc dip. Yes. Do you know what I mean? Just get another choc dip. No, but then you've got this more chocolate.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Do you know what I mean? Like, to get the stick to chocolate ratio is difficult. I just think you need to work on your rationing. That's on you. I've always said that.

If you don't do it right through time. Agony Adam. but he's pretty doing quite well with the prep unnecessary go on this is from an anonymous dad hi lids
Starting point is 00:54:15 need some advice I coach a lads under 11s football team on the weekend which my son plays in goal for he's not massively athletically gifted
Starting point is 00:54:21 shall we say he's a bit lumpy and we've lost more than a couple of games due to the goalkeeping errors, as lots of kids' footy teams do. But he's getting better. Oh, God. That's emotional. This is how I knew when you were younger.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Oh, the fat goalkeeper. It was him? This is from my dad. The only problem is this new Lithuanian lad has recently asked to join the team, and he plays in goal. He came to training dead lanky and towering over the other lads. In the second half of the Sunday league game we played, he got man of the match for saving a penalty.
Starting point is 00:54:53 The lad is special, but my lad had to stand on the sides with me after halftime and then blame me when we got home for replacing him. What do I do, lads? I can't destroy my lad like that. You can't. And I feel awful,
Starting point is 00:55:02 but also it's clear who should be playing in goal and that we could go on to win the league. Any advice? There's a six foot four Lithuanian. Grow up. Literally. Your son's just going to have to learn the hard way that sometimes life isn't all fucking rainbows
Starting point is 00:55:15 and blowjobs, sunshine. You know? Don't tell him. You're on the bench. Don't tell him. Future EDL member here, isn't it? A foreigner came over and took your job. It's not good
Starting point is 00:55:25 but look what you're gonna gonna bench gotta play the Lithuanian kid he's gonna win you more points your son's shite by the sounds of it you should be honest with him though
Starting point is 00:55:33 that's me listen lad look you're the big fucking lump and he's not you know what I mean get you the yo-yo if you want though
Starting point is 00:55:39 you'd love a yo-yo wouldn't you let's get you a yo-yo what if the Lithuanian lad gets injured in a cup final and he has to come on like Loris Karius and his confidence is shot?
Starting point is 00:55:49 Then it is what it is. Did you get dropped for being a fat keeper? No, I was the best keeper in our league. I have seen... He has scored a goal. I was.
Starting point is 00:55:57 I wonder what would have happened if I'd have played up front against you because I was the best striker in my league. Clean sheet, mate. That's what we'd have. What league?
Starting point is 00:56:03 Unstoppable Forbes. What league? Adam Adam Rose fantasy football the night time dreamy dream league what a goal how many goals is Adam going to score tonight five goals all in front of the cop in the first half and the second half as well

Starting point is 00:56:36 My aunt would go, she'd whisper in my ears, thinking I was asleep. Maybe this is insane. And she'd be like, I can't sleep. Just think of England. Maybe this is insane. And she'd be like, I can't sleep. Just think of England. Think of Everton.
Starting point is 00:56:49 How the fuck's that going to help me sleep? Think of England? Isn't that what people say to women who don't want to shag their husbands? Just think of England. Think of England. She'd go, think of Everton.
Starting point is 00:57:00 I'd be like, the shit? You're stressing me out. It doesn't mean that. Yeah, but you're gonna win the Florida Cup oh yeah this is me nan
Starting point is 00:57:09 and then 95 to tell her to stop talking because I couldn't sleep think of England I'd pretend to be asleep and then apparently
Starting point is 00:57:18 if you're whispering someone's ear when they're a kip it does things so she'd start whispering in my ears and I'd be like oh your nan yeah what
Starting point is 00:57:26 would she whisper like i don't know like you're good at sleeping aren't you your nan's a fucking psycho i'm going to sleep in you like hey you're such a good little sleeper aren't you she's trying to put a blue ribbon in your ear Come on you're hungry Have a cup of tea I pour it in Carl's got another ear infection You can sleep

He's got a whisper in his son's ear. You're great in gold. You're fat, get. Oh, right, okay.
Starting point is 00:58:50 The Lithuanian's well better than me. Be more Lithuanian, you stupid little lumpy cunt. Solved. Be more Lithuanian. Great bit of advice. He wakes up like... What's Lithuania famous for? Come on, Finn.

Starting point is 01:04:36 because of Taylor Swift. Even, he's playing every game now. Is that what we're saying? Before, they were like, maybe we'll just drop this generational talent, potentially one of the best tight ends of all time.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Yeah, but people weren't calling him a generational talent like three months ago. It's because of this, isn't it? It's because of Taylor's tight end. We'd have heard of him if he was a generational talent, surely. I have never heard of Trevor Kelsey before. Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 01:05:01 Travis Kelsey. Did he play in the Super Bowl last year? Did he? Did he help win it, really? Is he the best player? Wait, did he actually play in the Super Bowl last year?

Starting point is 01:05:36 Is he good? Oh God, he's so good. Better than her? At what? Yeah, being a tight end. She's never, yeah, she's going to be good in the offensive game because she's got height, but she's not going to be able to block a defensive end.
Starting point is 01:05:49 Fact. She just starts singing. They go, wow. Who did he play for last year? Stop it. You're not allowed to join in on this. They can. Who is in the fan?
Starting point is 01:05:56 You know who Travis Kelce is. The Philadelphia Eagles. I do know who he is. I do now. He's everywhere, isn't he? He's had a podcast now. Put your fishing rods away. He's had a podcast now.

Starting point is 01:06:18 Yeah, he's had it for the last two years. I've never heard of it. Yeah, it's brilliant. Right, back to the... Shout out, Travis Kelce. I am genuinely surprised That you'd pick Taylor Swift over Like your mate's wedding
Starting point is 01:06:29 Not his wedding I would go to his But is it I've never heard you Listen to Taylor Swift That's because I'm sick Of being judged We listen to it in a car
Starting point is 01:06:37 You listen to fucking Country music Yeah, I look at your reaction To that And that's fire Put Taylor Swift on any day Over country music What are you talking about
Starting point is 01:06:44 She's a country singer Really, not anymore She music what are you talking about she's a country singer really not anymore she fucking is mate she's not she's a pop singer now also if you've got no taste in country
Starting point is 01:06:50 you're not going to respect me tasting I don't want the homophobic abuse oh listen to Taylor you big gay I don't want any of this okay
Starting point is 01:06:57 I don't want to be judged for my fucking taste because you want to suck Liam Gallagher off he hasn't done fucking anything since he was in that Beatles tribute band and you know he hasn't do you want to have a little spin on off he hasn't done fucking anything since he was in that Beatles tribute band
Starting point is 01:07:05 and you know he hasn't do you want to have a little spin on your chair it'll make you feel better that is a fact though Taylor Swift's fire she's got nothing on Luke Combs
Starting point is 01:07:13 wow so is the Luke Combs the other option is that how many people would you sack a weathering offer of a gig no the thing is
Starting point is 01:07:21 Luke Combs I feel like I've always got an option to get a ticket because I know people who can sort that out. Taylor Swift, you know, is... You've just got someone to sort your ticket, though, didn't you?
Starting point is 01:07:30 For Taylor Swift, yeah, but that's only because it's at Anfield. Rock and roll shit, mate. And someone who works there sorted me a hospitality ticket out. Jürgen Klopp. There you go, that. So I got lucky there.
Starting point is 01:07:39 So just them two? There's no other... No, it's not that it's just them two. It's just like, going to this Taylor Swift tour. This is one of the biggest tours anyone's ever done. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:07:48 Which is why... But it's now bigger because she's dating Travis Kelsey. He's helped. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's made it bigger. Wait, here's a question.
Starting point is 01:07:56 Who has benefited more in the social sphere from this relationship? Taylor or Travis? Travis. There you go. That's all we're saying. So stop talking about him as a player though.
Starting point is 01:08:05 He's shit, isn't he? How many Taylor Swift songs do you know, Dan? More than Travis Kelsey songs. Name how many fucking running backs he's done. This is a genuine question. What position is he? How many what? What position is he?
Starting point is 01:08:19 He's a running back four times. He's a running back, I don't know. Stop being silly pricks. He's a tight end. Oh, yeah, tight end. Sorry, you've said that how many running backs isn't that the one
Starting point is 01:08:27 who like bashes people what is he like hey no stop it he's a running back how many running backs
Starting point is 01:08:35 has he done three this year ten yards so we're we're saying to Samuel nah your mate's in the right yeah he is
Starting point is 01:08:43 it doesn't sound like his best mate. If it's your best mate, then that's a problem. If it's not, then fucking... He's in... They went to school together. Ooh. I went to school with Conor Loftus.
Starting point is 01:08:52 That's a long-lasting friendship. No, but the people from school that you invite... I'm telling you right now that if there's a concert on this planet, that would make me turn down an invite to Conor Loftus' flat. Absolutely. Stonewall Fast. Loft-o? The big loft?
Starting point is 01:09:12 Yeah, they... They had issues. Oh, right. Okay, cool. You used to just go sick sometimes. And just pat on everyone. Oh, really? Did he go berserker? With hindsight, he had Asperger's syndrome. But it was funny in school.
Starting point is 01:09:28 Like, we didn't know what it was because no one taught us. And we didn't bully him. No. But he was like six and a half foot tall in like year seven. Was he Lithuanian? He quite looked Lithuanian. He quite looked Lithuanian. We always said that.
Starting point is 01:09:41 But like, other kids would wind him up because they knew what he would do which was he would just start swinging his bag at everyone like he would just try
Starting point is 01:09:50 and knock people out with his backpack and he I would love to see his wedding honestly wow I would love to see his wedding if you're listening Connor
Starting point is 01:09:58 his nickname was Conker Donkel Conker Donkel Hink yeah it was what Conker Donkel Hink we called him Conker Donkel Hink
Starting point is 01:10:03 or Conker Donkel Hink it was one of the two. I can't really remember. Yeah. It doesn't need to be true. It just sounds amazing. It is true though. Can we go for a break?

Starting point is 01:10:34 We got it? That's superb. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this week's edition of Dan vs Food. Dan is a 42-year-old man with several food phobias, and every single week we get him to try a food that he's never had in his mouth before. Hello. You know? You think I've not had it.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Here's our glamorous assistant, Stephen. We were racking our brains this week for stuff that we don't think you'll have tried. Just basic, basic food that everyone has in the week. Staple. Staple of this. I can tell just from what's in that shot glass what this is. Can I? Yeah. Steve, have you ever put a glove on before? What the fuck? OJ Simpson, we call him. Are you ready, Dan?
Starting point is 01:11:16 No. I believe this is going to be spaghetti bolognese. It is? Spaghetti bolognese. And it looks wonderful. Can I just ask where this is from? Casa... Like, this is going to be a really good Spag bol. So, what you're going to want to do...

Starting point is 01:11:39 I don't have to do it. Spaghetti bolognese with a spoon? Yeah, but... Oh, I'm so hungry. It's too much. Right. No, have you ever done a... Oh, I'm so hungry. It's too much. Right. No, have you ever done a... Dan, have you ever...
Starting point is 01:11:48 Let him just try a fish. Can I just ask quickly, Dan, which of the components of this meal have you had before? Have you had spaghetti before? Yeah. Have you had beef before? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:56 Have you had tomato-based sauce before? Well, then you're going to be fine. There you go. That's pathetic. Shut up! It's hard for me, this. You can't... We love you. Oh, it's hard. These feet feel... Right, can I Shut up. It's hard for me, this. You can't, you can... We love you.
Starting point is 01:12:05 Oh, it's hard, these fit and filbius. You know, I like to have fit and filbius. Can I just say... Fucking food. It's really hard. I'm like, Casa Natalia delivered. Listen, listen.
Starting point is 01:12:14 Just give me, like, you can't do portions. Everything's on. All right. That is quite nice. Yay! Yay! So this has got a bit of dick cheese on it.
Starting point is 01:12:32 Parmesan. Yeah, it smells like dick cheese. Have you ever... What? I'm having a fucking spoon. Spaghetti with a spoon. I'm having my yum yum. my yum yum I don't think he likes
Starting point is 01:12:49 parmesan cheese oh it's just tangy salty you're doing a fucking Robert De Niro impression he's just made it better
Starting point is 01:13:01 alright I'd have it can you are you allowed to put a bit of black pepper on there yeah yeah that's what I normally alright I'd have it can you are you allowed to put a bit of black pepper on there yeah yeah that's what I normally do I'd probably allow the fucking
Starting point is 01:13:09 parmesan because it just smells all dead cheesy that strong cheese that you put on your pasta yeah smells cheesy does it it's mad that isn't it
Starting point is 01:13:17 can I just tell you lads this isn't bad but it's not good is it it's casserataglia spag bol it's fine but you're going in for Is it? It's a Casa Natalia spag bol. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:13:26 But you're going in for seconds, like. Adam's about to have the best thing. Oh, look at that. Because I don't hate it. I don't hate it, but it's not very nice. Out of 10, Dan, on your scale? Tell you what,
Starting point is 01:13:36 that's not a great spag bol. Is it not? No. I need to make him a spag bol for him to have a proper spag bol. Okay. Full disclosure. Spag Okay. Full disclosure. Spag bog.
Starting point is 01:13:46 Full disclosure. What you've given me here is not one of my phobias. You've given me something that I haven't had loads of spag bol. Fuck this thing. But this hasn't gone in. So when someone the other day suggested cheesy chips, I was like, yeah, all right, yeah, cool. I'll give it a try.
Starting point is 01:14:03 Like, this isn't a phobia of mine. It's just something I wouldn't choose. So, you know, when I was a kid and I started rejecting everything, my mum was like, right, he needs to eat something. So she made me cheese on toast and a plate of fruit. And I had that every night till from about 1985 to about 1997.
Starting point is 01:14:23 And honestly, I wasn't scared of it. I didn't like it particularly, but I could eat it. This almost falls in that realm of stuff that I'm like, I'm not arsed about that, but I'm not scared of it. You know the soup? That's phobia levels. Right, just you wait. Okay, we've been too easy on you this week then.
Starting point is 01:14:41 Next week, you're going to hell. Out of 10, Dan? Out of 10? Well, it's five. It's just dead average. It's nothing and then it's just I'd give that a five and a half, six. It's pretty average.
Starting point is 01:14:52 There you go. Sorry to be disappointed. I'm not trying to egg you on. Oh, you've fucked it now. Casa d'Italia doesn't travel well. Casa d'Italia is one of the best Italians in Liverpool, but it doesn't travel very well at all. I hope you like fucking veal bumhole mate just to clarify
Starting point is 01:15:07 Casa Italia is a beautiful restaurant don't want them pissed off no it's a good but don't get a delivery going
Starting point is 01:15:14 sit in I'm not asking dead hard fucking Travis Kelsey well we've just been for some delicious Mediterranean food
Starting point is 01:15:23 I had a chicken tikka and a bit of bread you had the same thing but you had chips as well you big fat cunt Jim Owens here How are you doing? I'm good
Starting point is 01:15:33 Is that a fresh Liverpool shirt? It is I've just been to the shop around the corner I'm trying to get tickets to the the Derby Liverpool-Everton game Big Liverpool fan?
Starting point is 01:15:42 No, yeah enough Yeah More of that than any other Premier team I'm not a pundit I often watch it with the The Derby, Liverpool-Everton game. Big Liverpool fan? No, yeah, enough. Yeah. More of that than any other Premier team. I'm not a pundit. I often watch it with the sound down. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:52 And, you know, just enjoy it. We've been discussing that recently in here. Like, the commentary is, the bar is on the floor, isn't it? Well, not that. It's just so much I like the fluency of watching it with the sound it's just one of those things I enjoy it'd be quite good if you could get it without the commentary
Starting point is 01:16:09 but with the crowd sound that'd be good yeah that's not a bad idea yeah I could see that didn't they have that Jordan yeah COVID
Starting point is 01:16:17 COVID no they did they did no they just had they had the commentary either with the awkward silence of an empty stadium or the commentary with fake crowd they silence of an empty stadium or the commentary
Starting point is 01:16:25 with fake crowd. They didn't have a no commentary option. I thought they had just the crowd. They should have had an option where you can just turn Steve McManaman off. That would be a really good one for me. In South Africa
Starting point is 01:16:36 at the World Cup they had something that could cancel out the... The Vuvuzela. It was Brazil, wasn't it? The Vuvuzelas. Was that Brazil? No, that was South Africa. South Africa, yeah. The Vuvuzela, was Brazil wasn't it the Vuvuzels yeah was that Brazil no that was
Starting point is 01:16:45 South Africa yeah the Vuvuzel you could cancel it out so maybe some sort of cancel commentary in Brazil
Starting point is 01:16:52 they had an option where you could cancel out all the women's massive arses with big fat batties yeah the big fat batties you could hear them
Starting point is 01:16:59 oh yeah when they stand up when like someone's thrown a gun they all stand up fuck off my memory and I've said this before of the Vuvuzela Oh yeah, when they stand up. When someone's doing a goal and they all stand up. Fuck off. My memory, and I've said this before, of the Vuvuzela,
Starting point is 01:17:11 was having a balcony in my flat in Manchester and it was World Cup time and one of us bought a Vuvuzela just because it was one of the things. That's not that. That's something else. No, it's... Vuvuzela's... Vuvuzela's...
Starting point is 01:17:21 No. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the rackety, aren't they? Yeah, yeah. So we had... Oh, yeah. But do you know there's a toy that looks a bit like a Vuvuzela
Starting point is 01:17:30 where you whip it round? That's the window. And there was two... There was two crackheads having sex next to the canal and we blew the Vuvuzela and she obviously went, right, well, that's enough.
Starting point is 01:17:40 They're blowing horns and you could see him be like, fucking thanks, lads. I love that the only thing that was stopping him getting laid was a Vuvboo sailor that thing i don't know it does sound like a euphemism for a woman's vagina doesn't it yeah but she had a lovely boo-boo sailor the noise the noise of your being a sailor. How much... Is that you?
Starting point is 01:18:08 Yeah. I've lots of talent, you know. Something like that. I've never... You've never tried an impression and you've never tried it before. That was it. I wouldn't much the welcome with that noise on.
Starting point is 01:18:24 That's always annoying. Have you ever been with a woman who had a noisy fanny? I wouldn't much to welcome with that noise on that's annoying yeah have you ever been with a woman who had a noisy fanny or like a needs oiling no you ever made a like
Starting point is 01:18:35 a little fanny a queef but I've got quite a fat mons pubis yeah yeah so if I
Starting point is 01:18:41 am with a lady with also you know a little bit of meat on it there is like a healthy slap on it but never an individual sound I'm not talking about
Starting point is 01:18:48 slapping a beer I'm talking about like a minge buff oh dear oh dear it's a very very embarrassing moment for the lady
Starting point is 01:18:56 yeah and everyone no you're meant to laugh but then you have to like sort of comfort them whilst also pretending you didn't enjoy it you have to be like
Starting point is 01:19:02 oh I don't worry about that that smells great yeah but when you're in the moment, laughing's not on. No jokes, no jokes. We'll do a bit of laughing later, but you know, so it's a really difficult moment
Starting point is 01:19:13 and you feel sorry for them. It's just awkward for everyone involved. Nothing a firm handshake won't, you know. Yeah. Play on, drop ball, let's go. Yeah. Penises don't make any noise, do they? Famously.
Starting point is 01:19:25 I personally farted during a massage and then for the rest of the massage, the girl was just trying not to laugh. Like, I could feel the vibration of her laughing the whole way. Which helped the massage. Yeah, yeah. Which is, you know, another level. Like the little vibration she was doing,
Starting point is 01:19:40 that the whole way through. But then I painted at the end, I just looked, I shook her hand, but then I looked at her eye end I just looked I shook her hand but then I looked her eye we shared a moment together I was talking to a friend of mine right
Starting point is 01:19:52 he's on tour with us at the minute so he's opening for me his name's Alfie and Jack's as well so we had a it looked like we were going to have a day off
Starting point is 01:19:59 where we had like a day where we were just going to be away and nothing to do and I was going to book us a spa day for the boys you know little spa massage each and alfie was like oh i don't get massages because i'm scared of getting an erection uh and i was like i just don't even with farting i think a
Starting point is 01:20:17 masseuse has been through everything it's possible to be through with other people leave massages in the past i don't think a boner a fast, I think you could do a little poo and she'd be like third time this week. I don't think it's like as big a deal to them as it is to us. What if it's a foot massage?
Starting point is 01:20:31 I think then I think then that is out of order, innit? I'll be honest, love. Once you hit that big toe, I just shat everywhere. So I don't know if you want to take a break
Starting point is 01:20:40 before doing the left foot. I'm not sure. Surely they want you to get a little boner because then they're like... No, I think they're pretty keen on you not getting a boner. I've always got one.
Starting point is 01:20:50 Not always. I don't even know. There's a little Thai lady under there. When I get a massage, I'm like... When I get a massage, I'm going to... Yeah, I've never had a massage.
Starting point is 01:21:05 And not... I always had a little I'm going to Willy's. Yeah, I've never had a massage. And not... And not... I always had a little bit of a chub on. Yeah. Hard side. Especially on your back. Do you have a lot of that here where you don't know if it is
Starting point is 01:21:14 like a straight up for real massage or there's a bit more? Like you don't really... It's awkward, isn't it? Isn't it? Yeah. How do you ask? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:21:22 I think it should say on the door. It's just all quite simple massage little emoji it's legit that's all you need i think uh with the best the best way to approach things like this and you don't know is you just ask them out right but then when they react like oh you just go look i just asked to make sure like how would you ask as you're coming in she things like this and you don't know is you just ask them outright but then when they react like oh you just go look I just asked to make sure how would you ask as you're coming in
Starting point is 01:21:48 she's like go on just put your robe there just go you're alright love yeah just wondering is this one of the ones where you wank us off at the end
Starting point is 01:21:52 no not a problem no worries just wondering yeah don't want to make it awkward but okay now I know a friend of mine
Starting point is 01:21:59 went for a straight up massage as he thought and at the end the girl says to him would you like a happy ending and he wasn't and he went yeah why not
Starting point is 01:22:07 so she goes out and he comes back and about 15 minutes later have you finished that does happen that's a DIY really yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:22:18 that does happen sometimes they're like you wanna you wanna have a little wank to you well I'll just leave you and I'll come back in a minute subtle you wanna have a little wank to you or I'll just leave you and I'll come back in a minute subtle you wanna have a wank
Starting point is 01:22:27 do you wanna touch your own penis to the point where you have an orgasm nice one feel free to shit anywhere I'm a masseuse I've seen it all
Starting point is 01:22:35 I have a friend that used to phone up those those sex lines but back in the back in the 90s you know where they
Starting point is 01:22:43 charge money for um talking horny to you and he got quite a bit of money he got an erection before he phoned him up so he was already you know a match fit you know he was already there ready to go because it was cheaper saved money Jim, every time you tell one of these stories, you keep saying a friend of yours. It's hard to say. Love Liverpool.
Starting point is 01:23:16 Either you've got one friend who is a completely open book and tells you everything he's ever done, or... Dan, if you were getting a massage, just like with Adam, like next door, you both went to a spa. Not from Adam. No, and she went,
Starting point is 01:23:29 do you want me to wank you off to completion? Would you say yes? Why is Adam here? Why does that... Because this is possible. Yeah, well, I'd cheat on my wife, but if Adam's two doors down, no. Because he's a grass.
Starting point is 01:23:43 No. No, I'm not... Is it cheating? No. Listen, I'm not. Is it cheating now? Listen, I've been told pretty firmly. He's getting wanked off by a masseuse. Cheating. I think Laura, my wife, would be fuming
Starting point is 01:23:52 even if I got offered the transaction. What if it was a masseur? A man? Yeah. Yeah, well then, he can't be cheating because I'm not gay. I'm just getting wanked off by a guy
Starting point is 01:24:01 to completion and being like, I've got to fucking hell, lads. Have you got Vuvuzela? So would you go, no, don't wank me off. I'm just getting wanked off by a guy to completion and being like, so you're fucking on, lads. Have you got Vuvuzela? So would you go, no, don't wank me off. I'm going home. Yeah. Do you know that joke about the queen?
Starting point is 01:24:12 The guy broke into the queen's bedroom all those years ago. Go on. And he's sitting on the bed with the queen, says to the queen, go on, show me your tits. Queen says, no way. I shouldn't even be doing this. Queen says no way I shouldn't even be doing this
Starting point is 01:24:23 that was that was big you know what I think has been lost I'm into it I'm into it you know with the modernisation of comedy
Starting point is 01:24:36 I think jokes like that have been so lost oh yeah no one tells jokes anymore do you know any jokes Dan what
Starting point is 01:24:44 do you know any jokes no go What? Do you know any jokes? No go on do you? No I'm asking you. No I'm terrible with jokes. I literally haven't got that recall. I can remember a joke if somebody's talking about something that is in relationship to that. And then that way your brain can easily go there but somebody starts telling you a joke
Starting point is 01:24:59 no reference to what you're talking about. You're like what are we talking about now? Okay what do you think about England, Ireland and Scotland? Yeah yeah yeah. Here we go um what's your favorite joke ever have you got one oh well that one's pretty up there that's great i like i like uh the kind of silly ones uh patty and mary get married and on their wedding day mary jumps into bed takes all the clothes off lies across the bed says to patty you know what i want he says the whole of the bed but the look of it genuinely why i haven't got the joke recall like jason manford came on and you
Starting point is 01:25:35 could tell he could just do he could have done the whole podcast with just jokes but i haven't got i haven't got the recall of it i just don't have it sorry mickey mouse mickey mouse and minnie mouse are getting divorced. Hasn't gone well. Tits up. They're in court together. Judge is reading through the facts of the case, making his deliberation. Takes the glasses off, looks at Mickey Mouse, says, Mickey, just
Starting point is 01:25:55 because you say the wife's got big teeth, there's no real grounds for a divorce. And Mickey Mouse goes, I didn't say she had big teeth. I said she was fucking goofy. That's up there. The only one I ever remember, and it's so stupid, and it's because my mum used to tell jokes all the time, and this is her one.
Starting point is 01:26:18 And it's not even that good, but I'm going to tell you it anyway. And the reason it's so memorable for me is she would tell me this maybe like once a year, and then she would fall apart laughing before she really got to the punchline but it was like every year she couldn't remember she told me before so she's like teachers teachers in class right and she's going right class today we're gonna do the alphabet today we're gonna do the alphabet so i'm gonna say a letter and I just want everyone to put their hand up and you tell me a word that begins with that letter. She goes, right, so we'll start with A.
Starting point is 01:26:49 And obviously the class are nervous, they're young kids. There's only one kid who puts his hand up, little Timmy. She goes, go on, Timmy, give me a word beginning with A. And he goes, arsehole! And she goes, that is bang out of order, Timmy. You do not say that word. No, that is naughty. Don't be swearing.
Starting point is 01:27:04 You know that's a naughty word. She goes, right, B. And again, everyone sees what's just happened to Timmy. They're not risking anything. So Timmy just stands up again. She goes, right, Timmy, be good. And he goes, yeah, bollocks. Right?
Starting point is 01:27:17 She's like, look, I'm not going to ask you again. I'm not going to ask you again. She gets to C. It's cock. D, dick. And she's like, you're not doing it anymore. But then people are starting to put their hands up. And by the way, by the time she gets to G,
Starting point is 01:27:28 everyone else has given up. No one else is putting their hand up. She goes, G. And it's just Timmy again. She goes, I'm not coming to you, Timmy. You need someone else. You'd be really naughty. And he's just like this, this, this.
Starting point is 01:27:39 She goes, right, this is your last chance. What's the word beginning with G? And he goes, gnome. And she goes, that is so good, Timmy. Well done. It's great that even at your age, you know that that begins with G. Well done.
Starting point is 01:27:52 And can you tell everyone what a gnome is? And he goes, there's a little man with fucking big ears. Is that your mum's joke? Yeah. Fucking. Anro. Should I have a bit's joke. Yeah. Fucking. Anro. Shall we have a bifter? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:10 What's that? What's that mean? But she's dead. Oh, is she? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. She is, yeah. She's fucked to death by a gnome.
Starting point is 01:28:20 Oh. That's for you, Anne. Smoking biffs in heaven I can remember a joke And I can remember who told me the joke I can remember where I was when I heard the joke If I have a good joke that I like Yeah, I can
Starting point is 01:28:35 Chris Lagan told me that The Mickey Mouse one Paddy and Mary Yeah, could probably can't you just have to trust me on that do you uh i've been a fan of your work for a while i last night uh just because i knew you were coming today i went back and watched your eyebrow routine that you did on TV quite a while ago. Yeah. And I, up until we sort of got you in the studio,
Starting point is 01:29:09 I didn't do any research enough, because I've always wondered why you haven't been on every TV show ever made over here, because one of my favourite comics. But you live in Australia, and you have done it for a long time. How did that happen? At what point does a comedian based over here or near
Starting point is 01:29:26 here well i wasn't a comedian i was a backpacker i was working on building sites so wow so you started in australia i started doing stand-up so i was there like a year and there was a comedy night on and i got up where did you go i got up and there was a comedy uh somebody put my name down we were in plain pool and uh someone put my name down and We were in Plainpool. And someone put my name down. And I got up, like, totally naive. I started telling jokes. I started like, all right, here's one. And then they started laughing at the fact I was telling jokes because nobody told jokes.
Starting point is 01:29:55 And then I thought they'd heard it because they were all laughing. And I was like, oh, you know this one? All right, here's another one. And then they thought I was getting freaking big laughs, not even knowing why I was getting the laughs. Like I was doing, well, I'm getting laughs here and I hadn't planned it.
Starting point is 01:30:09 And yeah, and then watched the rest of the night and went, oh, frig, this is the best night ever. This is like somewhere in between a play and going to see a band. This is like really enjoyable. That's a good,
Starting point is 01:30:20 that is a good description of life's done up. Yeah. Because you go to a play with your mum or your parents and you go, it's too much. And a band, you'd be trying to, so this is, you know of life's done up. Because you go to a play with your mum or your parents, and you go, it's too much. And a band, you'd be trying to, so this is, you know, like Goldilocks. It was in between, perfect. And, you know, I was hanging out with Irish people in Australia,
Starting point is 01:30:34 so it was a really good way of meeting up with a whole new group of people. And then, you know, just started doing it. And because I hadn't really watched it, that kind of helped me get into it, sort of really find a voice that I wasn't copying anyone else. So I was just going along with what I thought was funny after that. And then I did a little lot of lying as well. This lady says to me, I booked a comedy club in Melbourne. How long have you been doing stand-up for?
Starting point is 01:30:59 And I said, five years. That was the third week I was doing it. But I had a friend bob franklin and he'd done loads of gigs with you know paul merton and bing hitler and all these people who being hitler who was i know his cousin what's you know that's a character the guy went on to become a big big scottish star in america at his own chat show. Craig Ferguson What? Craig Ferguson. Anyway that was Craig Ferguson's character
Starting point is 01:31:28 being Hitler yeah. Fuck. And I photocopied his little things put them on a sheet, tippexed his name out and typed my name over the top of it and then faxed it back this is back in the day of faxes. Oh you took his CV and just totally. Yeah exactly he was cool with it and got faxed it back this is back in the day of faxes oh you took his cv and just totally exactly he was cool with it and uh got booked to do support went down and then you know
Starting point is 01:31:52 did three weeks every night for three weeks and then got booked to do like six weeks so then within the first two or three months i had flying hours that were like the equivalent of two or three years over here and that was like such a great start into meeting everyone that was you know doing comedy what year we're talking as you this is 80 88 the end of 88 90 it needed nine after that of course um give me here there's a leap year that year um But yeah, I ended up, you know, and then I ended up just doing well in Australia and I knew that if I
Starting point is 01:32:30 came back here, I'd be like a Northern Ireland comic expected to talk about Northern Ireland. And they couldn't hear my accent. They just thought I had a doily doily accent, you know. How's it going? Like they couldn't hear the sinisterness in the tone. They couldn't pick up on that.
Starting point is 01:32:47 So they were Gerry Adams and Ian Paisley were the only people on TV when I was doing it so you know it was just one of those things it was just fortunate that I did it in Australia and it was good timing and a good place to do it It's so interesting hearing you talk about your sort of exposures to stand up
Starting point is 01:33:04 because I think a lot of comics have that and i've never heard it described that way halfway between a play and seeing a band and the goldilocks thing which i think is fucking excellent but it's that isn't it it's so many comedians and people who end up doing stand-up they see live stand-up for the first time and just something in them goes oh i'm home yeah yeah yeah you find your people this is my people i've been looking for my people yeah yeah this is my this is this is what i've been looking for but you never knew you were looking for it but it's just like oh here we are yeah i did i did everything i did everything but
Starting point is 01:33:38 like that wasn't comedy like performing arts i did theater my mom put me into all sorts i did theater studies a level i knew i didn't want to be an actor went to uni and exactly that light bulb moment when i got taken down to the old hyena in newcastle and i sat there and within 10 minutes of watching dave johns compare i was like i don't know how to do this and i don't know if i'm going to be able to do this but i am going to be here a lot and i got a job there it was just exactly that just going that's whatever magic is in the air that's like that's a normal people watch it for years and put a lot of pressure i'd already done it and i didn't even realize i'd done it yeah
Starting point is 01:34:14 the other way around you know like and then and then people going to me you know you've got to watch comedy who's your favorite comedian i go i fucking don't know any comedians i have no clue i know tommy, I liked him. What about all the rest of them? And then a mate of mine, he sat me down, showed me videos of stuff, and I've gone, oh, frick, this is an art form. People are really into this.
Starting point is 01:34:34 Oh, wow, this is really tricky. But you never got into that. You sort of just did your thing and it always worked. Did you end up getting, like, intertwined with the industry stuff, or were you always just like, I'm just doing what I do? No, I started seeing people I really liked, like, Shandling, you I do? No, I started seeing people I really liked,
Starting point is 01:34:47 like Shandling, you know, Gary Shandling and just seeing some of his stuff and, you know, just being on, just seeing other comics and you go, right, I like that.
Starting point is 01:34:56 I really like what you're doing. And, you know, you're sort of, you're influenced, totally influenced by people you watch and their tone or their type,
Starting point is 01:35:04 like just the way their attitude. Bob Franklin, for example, that comedian. Like, everyone else was talking about sport, talking about, and he was talking about rubbish, absolute. And I was going, oh, yeah, you can talk about whatever you want to talk about. It doesn't really matter. And if you can find something.
Starting point is 01:35:18 And all the thoughts I had that worked out into good routines, I had them as a kid anyway. So I already had stuff worked out in my head i didn't i didn't know the environment that you could where could you tell these stories or you know who would listen to this yeah but they were like thoughts that were good comedic thoughts i think me and carl so me and carl went to school together and we were best friends back then and it felt for a long time me and him that no one else really had our sense of humor because it was so stupid
Starting point is 01:35:45 and it's not even in my stand up where that's come out it's this podcast this podcast has become a sort of produced version
Starting point is 01:35:54 of what we've done since we were 17 that in our heads no one would have ever got it oh yeah and that's the other thing when I started doing it
Starting point is 01:36:02 I was in Australia and like no one could understand me like literally I was working on a building site and you know you'd say something on passing like like and they go what sorry and i was not just in reference to what you were talking about and that why would that be in reference like you know what forget it just move on and i couldn't interact with people i was talking that's why i've probably got a visual face because nobody understood me. I was like spending the whole time trying to sell something.
Starting point is 01:36:28 And then I went on stage and not only did they understand me, but they found me funny. And it felt like I had this room full of people that I'd gone to school with. Like, oh, you get this. You get this. So that was the other thing that was just, you find, I find people big time.
Starting point is 01:36:44 There is something about that, isn't it? When something's just funny and then you throw in a premise this so that was the other thing that was just you find you find my people big time there is something about that isn't it when something's just funny and then you throw in a premise and it's neither a joke or a story it is just for whatever reason within the context of that conversation and we can be talking in real life or this podcast it just builds and it's funny like you add to it and then someone else adds to it and then this and then and then yeah try doing that in... That's why... That wasn't one of those moments.
Starting point is 01:37:06 No, no. I've never done jokes, but in conversation, a joke works. If you're just telling someone and trying to be funny, just being able to be like, here's the setup,
Starting point is 01:37:15 that's the joke. But there is something magical about stand-up where you get to the end of someone's set and you're like, I'm not sure where that started, exactly where it ended,
Starting point is 01:37:24 but it was fucking beautiful all the way through the performance the act out i love it especially the magic you can't see it coming it's just that's a good joke isn't it really i did vicar street and i watched uh richie brady in support and vicar street's got these little like a plank in front of you and you can put your beer there and you're in the darkness so listening in the darkness is like listening to a podcast at night
Starting point is 01:37:48 has that real intensity you can really listen to their like I like I like listening to someone's act in the darkness because then I can go ha ha you know
Starting point is 01:37:56 as opposed to that laugh that you do yeah yeah yeah you make it look like I'm having a good time ha ha you're like really watching going ha ha
Starting point is 01:38:04 yeah yeah yeah that's how we watch comedy if something's funny we go yeah yeah that's hilarious you go yeah oh i see what he definitely definitely at home you're watching tv and you can get someone you've done well yeah that's that's really good oh yeah if you've got a laugh out loud and it's on TV or on a special that is a big laugh isn't it because there's something about being in the room
Starting point is 01:38:31 but it's so much better when it's darker in the actual room like when you get to a venue and the lights are all on in the audience that's how we leave it you're like fuck that doing like live at the Apollo watching it on TV you're like fuck that yeah doing like doing like live at the Apollo watching that on
Starting point is 01:38:45 tv you're like watching the audience watching the show you're like you're one removed again it's not like that and loads of people even now loads of people never seen stand-up like you meet people that was the first time and when I started like you knew everybody doing stand-up everyone get into it by some weird story like Owen O'Neil told me he says uh do a poem on stage you get a pint so he'd write a poem and then get up on stage and and then you know that led into meeting other people that don't want to come to this room they do stand up what and then you're off yeah yeah yeah john bishop started in comedy just because he didn't want to pay the entry he got down to the amateur night at the frog and bucket and they were like yeah it's like four quid in or it's free if you're an act and he
Starting point is 01:39:29 was like i'm not paying four quid and just signed up and that was how he became a comic we used to i used to run a comedy club in melbourne and we used to always get three first timers because they would always bring about six or seven people yeah you'd always bring a crowd like so just get two or three of them and you've got enough to make the room work yeah where's your favorite like doesn't matter on size you just talked about vicar street we we were there doing a podcast show in july and it was unbelievable where's your favorite room to play doesn't matter if it's tiny or huge alpha is good because you know it's a good size room and I'm from that
Starting point is 01:40:05 part of the world and Derry's good yeah there's loads of rooms like that theatre I was telling you about last night just walk in
Starting point is 01:40:11 and you go you don't know what you're going to get sometimes I'm in Manchester and you know that's a big rock and roll room
Starting point is 01:40:19 but being in a nice theatre is kind of like you go oh wow I wasn't expecting this this is you know a good spot the Opera House in Belf theatre is kind of like you go oh wow I wasn't expecting this this is you know
Starting point is 01:40:25 a good spot the Opera House in Belfast is good last night I did crew I'll tell you a story last night I did crew raining I've come out the side door
Starting point is 01:40:34 taken off somebody recognised me and then this guy goes and I went oh okay I don't wind the window down going
Starting point is 01:40:43 the premiere end just up the road so he thinks I'm an Uber or something and I go Okay, I don't know. Wind the window down. The Premier in, just up the road. So he thinks I'm an Uber or something. And I go on, what? And then he goes, oh, oh yeah, we've been seeing you. Oh, really? And the wife was coming, it's raining.
Starting point is 01:40:59 I go, get in the back, don't say anything, right? All right, okay. He got in the back and then the wife got in the back and I'm driving she's prepping her in again and then she's just doing that wee look going no we've just been to see you
Starting point is 01:41:09 and they were lovely they drove from they drove from Ayrshire down stayed in the hotel and I dropped them off but I just felt like just oh it was a funny moment
Starting point is 01:41:17 you know last week so Jack is doing all of the driving for my tour and I think it might have been after crew actually no maybe it can might have been after crew, actually. No, maybe it can't have been,
Starting point is 01:41:26 because we went for the pint after that one. So he pulled up outside my building on the docks in Liverpool. And me and Alfie are getting out. Alfie's staying in mine. And this group of four women from York come over and they go to him, Hanover Street, love.
Starting point is 01:41:41 You're Hanover Street. And he went, yeah, yeah, 50 quid. I'll do 50 quid. And he went, yeah, yeah, 50 quid. I'll do 50 quid. And she went, 50 pound. We paid six today. You can fuck off. Right? And Jack goes, well, 50 quid.
Starting point is 01:41:54 I'm not doing it, love, because I'm about to go home. So it's 50 quid or not. And she goes, I'll fucking walk. I'll walk, son. Then she walked in the opposite direction. As she's walking away, she goes, you fucking scouse cunts. And then she went,
Starting point is 01:42:10 I can tell from looking at you, you're all in the IRA, and I don't know where that came from. Am I lying, though? No. You're not, are you? No, yeah, I am. I am saying... You put a balaclava on.
Starting point is 01:42:26 Is that how they're funding the fight just expensive Ubers what price Jack would you have gone yeah fuck it let's go like if they'd have gone alright we'll give you 30
Starting point is 01:42:35 would you have thought about it you should have done it for 6 quid for the story I would have he's got a lovely car he's fucking absolutely fucking Rottweilers getting
Starting point is 01:42:47 in the car and brewing were they Scottish as well no we don't call women dogs they're from Yorkshire
Starting point is 01:42:51 Yorkshire they were really rude we're not calling women dogs are we no Protestant by the sounds of it
Starting point is 01:42:57 another thing happened last night no I reject your yellow card fuck off another thing that happened last night
Starting point is 01:43:03 you know when you do a good deed, right? The trick is not to tell anyone, right? I can't do that. It was pouring rain. I've gone in to get petrol. I've come out. As I've gone in,
Starting point is 01:43:18 the guy's turning the engine over, but there's no fuel in the line. Growing up in the 70s, cars broke down all the time. Everybody knew how to fix a car. I could tell there was no fuel in the line, and up in the 70s cars broke down all the time everybody knew how to fix a car I could tell there was no fuel
Starting point is 01:43:27 in the line and there was a whole couple of the family were in into the petrol station and I've driven off but I've gone to drive off
Starting point is 01:43:34 but I've just stopped I can hear him still doing it and I've stopped and I reversed pulled alongside him wound down the window I says
Starting point is 01:43:41 he goes I've run out of petrol I come in I've filled up I go yeah but there's no fuel in the line. I can hear,
Starting point is 01:43:46 you can hear nothing. You need to pump it. Just pump it. Don't try and turn it on. Just pump it. And then he pumped it two or three times. That's the creature.
Starting point is 01:43:53 Three times, let it go. Try again. And he's going, oh, and he's pumped it. I go, don't pump it again.
Starting point is 01:44:01 You'll flood it. Right. This is what we're told as kids. My dad always said, don't, it'll flood. And then I could just try again and it just turned over. Like, I't pump it again. You'll flood it. Right, this is what we're told as kids. My dad always said, it'll flood. And then I could just try again, and it just turned over. Like, I felt like a knight.

Starting point is 01:47:32 extra you go that's enough or my mum on plate like do you want another potato that's enough and then she just gives me
Starting point is 01:47:39 another potato I mean that's on you for not realising by now that just ask to stop one before you wanted to or do you think she'd figure that out
Starting point is 01:47:49 and she'd be like fuck it yeah that's all you're getting and then you haven't got enough potatoes yeah yeah we used to pretend we didn't like something
Starting point is 01:47:54 because if we did like it she'd be going that's enough of that you know if you were going try those strawberries oh they're lovely that's enough where's she going

Starting point is 01:48:17 we've been 23 years so long time and then we were with each other for seven years before we got married I didn't run down the aisle. I saw loads of mates run down the aisle.
Starting point is 01:48:26 That was all over in six months. So I was doing, you know, steady as we go. Yeah, you pace yourself, don't you? Sorry. Sorry. Just you saying that made me laugh a little bit. Why? No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:48:38 You've become very sensible in your old age. He's a paceman. He's a paceman. I am. Didn't you ask what I was planning after about four weeks? Yeah, but I was fat and bald in like 33. So there was reasons
Starting point is 01:48:49 for your sprinting. Doesn't mean that makes me a sprinter. I need to tie it down. And you can't talk because you are snail pacemate. Yeah, the snail wins the race. Famously. What is it?
Starting point is 01:48:59 The tortoise. The snail wins the race. I've been with my partner 12 years. I mean, he got engaged this year. Yeah. That's better than starting at the older and working your way backwards
Starting point is 01:49:09 they only had sex two years ago so it's getting there isn't it it's nice a decade in let me have sex with you
Starting point is 01:49:15 the snail wins the race I've got all the fucking zingers today mate right the next pet peeve is from Joe Durant.
Starting point is 01:49:26 Why do girls have legs? Have you seen the mess snails make? It just reminded me I would not agree with that joke in this day and age. Is it cum, yeah? Like pussy juice? Oh, I thought it was already
Starting point is 01:49:41 bad. I went to blood. Oh, God. That bad. I went to blood. Oh, God. That's a dying snail. No, you know like the trail a snail leaves? A snail trail. A woman could do that with it if her pussy was dripping and she was like dragging herself along the floor.
Starting point is 01:49:57 We all had it. Oh, my God. Oh, Lord. Travis Kelsey's a fucking shit player and he's lucky Taylor Swift's looking at him. Carry on, Phil. Joe Durant says, all right, fellas, got a pet peeve.
Starting point is 01:50:10 Eating a really good sandwich, but the filling is too full and falls all over your lap. No. There's never been an overfilled sandwich in the history of butties, mate. Tell you what's worse, though. Like people scrimping on a butty. You get a bacon butty from somewhere
Starting point is 01:50:23 and there's two slices of bacon on the whole sandwich. Fuck off. Yeah. Do you not think there can be a time where it's just messy? If it's a really messy sandwich, yeah. It becomes like a gourmet burger. You know when burger...
Starting point is 01:50:35 Yeah. I had a burger recently and it was just burger shaped. Make gourmet burgers. This is nice. Make them wider, not taller. Yeah. It's good chops. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:44 Okay, right. Here's the thing. No one relates taller. Yeah. Good chops. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, right. Here's the thing. No one relates this. This is obviously an age thing, but I don't think it happens now, but sometimes you get a packet of crisps and you open them and they'd be damp. What?
Starting point is 01:50:58 They'd be damp and all of them were damp. And you'd eat it and you'd go, like, you know, you're expecting a crunch. Oh, yeah. And it's damp. And you're like you know you were expecting a crunch and it's done and you're like oh oh right and then we have the next crisp you've totally forgotten you ever play pinball and one flipper is dodgy and every time the ball comes down you've forgotten that it's dodgy and every crisp is disappointing like and every crisp is disappointing. And you go, oh,
Starting point is 01:51:25 and then you think in the next show, oh, oh, and then slowly you start to be like, steel, yeah. They don't come up as much.
Starting point is 01:51:33 No. I hate that really burnt cindery crisp. No, what? That's the worst. The burnt ones are the best. You don't want to break your teeth
Starting point is 01:51:40 and you don't want to block your teeth. Oh, they're bad, man. Oh, mate. They've been in the oven

Starting point is 01:51:53 Yeah, but there's less crisps in them. Like the other ones with the wagon wheels. It's deceiving. They're at their work. Right. I used to say, like if you sometimes,
Starting point is 01:52:02 apparently, if you took a box, if you sent a letter to the crisp company, they'd send you a box of crisps. Just a letter going, can I have a box of crisps? Oh, no, if you said, look, I've got a damn packet here. Got to be careful where that letter ends up, haven't you? I've got a damn packet.
Starting point is 01:52:20 I've got a damn packet and I want you to do something about it. And you'd end up with a whole box of crisps. I don't know if anyone ever... Did you know every crisp goes out of date on a Saturday? What? Every packet of crisps goes out of date on a Saturday. Come on. What?

Yeah, that'd be a different snog, wouldn't it? I guess he might have had the last cock that was in his mouth on his tongue when you snogged him,

Girls and gays we're all men i want girls to talk george bollis says uh when someone asks you a stupid question when you have a mouthful of food and you have to do that awkward chew swallow and then reply while they wait for an answer so you know when someone's chatting yeah yeah? Yeah, right, right, right. When the waiter
Starting point is 01:54:25 picks that as the perfect moment to ask if everything's okay, you just put your biggest mouthful in. Nando's are bad for that. I think you're allowed to just not answer at that point. If they're so bad professionally that they can't time the is everything alright with your meal? If you're literally full of, that is all the answer you need.
Starting point is 01:54:42 Like, I've got a mouthful, so obviously it's going pretty well do you think they time it do you do time they time it when your mouthful so you can't really complain because you've got a mouth that's literally what you do it so you can't complain what the nando's in town i don't think they're timing anything mate i think they're wandering around on ketamine just doing whatever they want that's how it feels like you get the punchline of a story or something at the end of an anecdote and just walk right in on the
Starting point is 01:55:06 yeah yeah yeah when you're telling like your big group of mates a story and you're just about to drop the thing and they come on everybody like what you did there
Starting point is 01:55:14 oh anyway Jewish he was okay nothing else Sean what were you saying forget it you'll never hear that punchline
Starting point is 01:55:23 Jewish this one's from Craig similar I think pet peeve in. Forget it. You'll never hear that. Jewish. This one's from Craig. Similar, I think. Pet peeve. When someone tries to talk to you and you've got headphones on. I mean, that would make my job really hard, wouldn't it? That's a pet peeve.
Starting point is 01:55:40 I remember having headphones on for the first time in the language laboratory at school, and we were fucking around around and Peter, he's got the headphones on but he can't hear because there are those green ones like from Russia
Starting point is 01:55:50 and those old ones and he's going, fuck, stop it, she's looking at it. Like he couldn't, he wasn't aware of the fact that he was shouting
Starting point is 01:55:57 because he had the headphones on. Fuck, stop it, she's fucking looking at it. And the teacher could hear? The teacher could hear. Everyone could hear. He was the only one with the headphones on
Starting point is 01:56:07 shouting his head off. Yeah, solid. I remember the first time I had headphones on. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't take much to go. What? Like, if you just tap mine, it stops. Fancy. I had a comment on one of my Instagram
Starting point is 01:56:25 videos the other day saying I don't like this fella. I led on to him in town the other week and he just blanked me completely. Didn't even take his headphones off. They're me and me earpods obviously because that's all I wear. I was like, so you've said hello
Starting point is 01:56:41 when I haven't heard you and you think I'm being rude because I've got my earphones in. Did they like you before that? I don't know. They might have just not liked you if they were going to tell you they didn't like you. Mad. Mental.
Starting point is 01:56:52 Last one from Danny. Do you know where they have a left ear and a right ear? Why do they do that? There's no real... It's a fit. Shape? It is now a fit. But it doesn't make sense on the old headphones
Starting point is 01:57:02 where they're exactly the same, does it? No, it does because the thing's in a different position. It's going to each hole. Stereo. it but it doesn't make sense on the old headphones where they're exactly the same does it yeah because stereo mono correct good words Danny Cooper says that last one and then we'll do some advice walking into
Starting point is 01:57:17 a cobweb no anyone in Australia that's a big thing I want to noted for the record that I did not mention Carl's mum's pussy there. Oh, what a gentleman. I mean, you did, didn't you?

Starting point is 01:58:16 Bargain. You didn't knock a grand off then, did you? I didn't knock a grand off. You tired bastard. You liar. I didn't knock a grand off. It sounds like a grand, doesn't it? I knocked about 10 grand off. Bought it for about 800.
Starting point is 01:58:28 It's a lovely fridge. She's got a new lovely fridge. Yeah, she has, because she paid for it. She did. Is it a fridge? It's an American one. Do you ever go to someone else's kitchen
Starting point is 01:58:38 and you just can't find anything? Like the fridge is married in. Yeah, that's what I've got now. I didn't have that before and I ate it already. I don't like going to someone else's house to try and make a cup of tea
Starting point is 01:58:48 and you just don't know you don't even know where to start like where are the cups everything have a good rummage yeah yeah so you're opening
Starting point is 01:58:55 every single drawer it's a nightmare when you're bageling someone and you get thirsty you're like I just want a cup of before I take that you're like love
Starting point is 01:59:02 listen I'm just here to rob you where's the sugar there's ghosts in my house what yeah there's a ghost in my house do you know what I'm gonna do
Starting point is 01:59:10 the other day Seneca went there's a ghost in the house and I didn't believe her and you know in the film when only one person can see the ghost and all the family
Starting point is 01:59:17 like shut up we always said to each other if there's a ghost we've got to believe each other because you're only with that person like there isn't a ghost and then we all get murdered so she told me it was a ghost i didn't believe and i'm like no actually sorry i didn't believe you and then i woke up yesterday by this like
Starting point is 01:59:32 someone put an hand on my shoulder and i was like oh that must be the ghost and then wasn't one of the 75 builders you have there no it's 2 a.m 10 minutes later the smoke alarm goes off and in my house the smoke alarm talks to you. And ghosts love cigars. No. What do you mean the smoke alarm talks to you? So the smoke alarm goes, there is smoke upstairs. Tells you where it is. And it goes, I'm about to sound the alarm.
Starting point is 01:59:53 This will be loud. That woke me up. And there was no smoke. Sorry, you've got a smoke alarm that talks to you? Tells you where the smoke is. All right, Carl. Big fire in the kitchen, lad. Better get down there.
Starting point is 02:00:04 I fucking started it just to see if you're on your toes. What? So I'd just fallen back asleep after getting woken up by a ghost and then the hall started going, there's a fire. Carl, I think you might have a brain tumour, mate.
Starting point is 02:00:15 I think we need to look into this. I'm worried about that. That technology doesn't exist. No, but it does. There is smoke upstairs. I named them all. Is this your nana whispering to you again? Carl, there's a fire? There's a fire.
Starting point is 02:00:26 There's a fire. No. Your grandad's got a fire going in the garden. Do you want some sausages, love? You love your sausages. You're so good at eating sausages. Think of everything.
Starting point is 02:00:35 A smoker shingog. A scourge of action. No, she's a lovely woman, but she scared me. But she tells you where in the house the smoke is, and then there was no smoke and the alarm didn't go off.
Starting point is 02:00:44 I think a ghost walked past it and set it off. Right, so you got a faulty fire alarm, and you dreamt that someone pushed you. I mean, I'm not trying to be a myth buster. See, you're doing it. Look, in the film, when I die, you're going to go, I didn't believe him. Who's going to kill you?
Starting point is 02:00:58 The ghost. You ghost smoke alarm. Yeah, and also, if they're trying to kill you, they're not going to tell you where the fire is. Hey, don't worry about that. There's loads of smoke, but there's no fire. Go back to sleep, you're in our bed. No, I think he walked past,
Starting point is 02:01:09 and because he's quite of a smoky being, he set it off. I actually Googled it, and ghosts can set smoke alarms off. What, is he like a sheet over his body? Yeah. Why else would it have gone off? Who else woke me up?
Starting point is 02:01:22 Look, he's doing the thing in the film where you don't believe the woman and then she goes mad and dies and the dad goes oh I didn't believe it we went to the most haunted places
Starting point is 02:01:30 and none of us saw anything why is your house more haunted I just seen the ghost of my past relationships every theatre you play in they'll say there's a ghost

Starting point is 02:01:57 What do you mean? Since you dipped your balls in the haunted lake? No, it was dry before. It's pretty dry now. I'm stunned. Love you, babe. Right, are we in the mood to give some advice? Oh, my God.

Starting point is 02:02:35 this is from Anonymous. Yes, lads, love the pod. Need some advice as I think this will bite me in the arse at some point. I currently work
Starting point is 02:02:42 a decent job in finance and have done for almost a year now thing is i got the job on the back of a load of fake linkedin accounts i set up to give me fake references and validate fake job experience legitimately set up about 15 new emails just to make fake business accounts i've never had any experience in finance bar a college course i did yet the higher-ups all believe that I'm some finance prodigy. I'm in over my head a little bit.
Starting point is 02:03:08 Any advice of what I can do? Keep your fucking head down, kid. You are too far down the rabbit hole to start getting fucking scared at this point. Are you sure this is the plot of Suits, isn't it? Oh, my God! Is the ghost back? Did you just do that?
Starting point is 02:03:28 Oh. See, this is what happened, didn't it? What? Matthew set my smoke alarm off at half two in the morning, did he? He probably could have. She was in bed and she was scared. I think she's gaslighting you. They do it eventually.

Honestly, what's the advice fake it till you make it jim do you like it i like keep your mouth keep your head down don't say a word yeah yeah yeah i wonder who it is like a high on ceo of the company now or head of that wagner group that was killed he had a false cv to get into there. Oh, really? This is why my interest... He ended up... Yeah. This is why interest rates
Starting point is 02:04:08 are going fucking mental. Because everyone's lying. Because they're not checking LinkedIn. To be honest, you can't do a worse job than people have been doing in international banking for the last 15 years.

Starting point is 02:05:05 To what Finn did to get his job, he got his girlfriend at the time, but she's a cat owning gobshite now. He got his girlfriend at the time to make him a video
Starting point is 02:05:13 that got him the job he had and then he got the job and he was like, yeah, I don't know how to do that but I can subtitle some videos for you. He didn't admit it initially.
Starting point is 02:05:20 We were like, oh, we'd love some animation for the start of the pod and after about eight months when it hadn't happened, it became obvious that his missus, who he'd now split up with and wouldn't do the animation,
Starting point is 02:05:29 had done it. Yeah. Great blagging. Look, we've not kicked you out, have we? We've made it. It's a fucking disgrace. Thank you. There you go.
Starting point is 02:05:35 After all of that, you're going to be an Indian next year on a bike. I met a guy, I was sitting tonight, and he's watching something. I go, what are you watching? And he goes, oh, I'm just watching a YouTube video on how to drive this digger. I've told him I'm a digger driver.
Starting point is 02:05:50 Yeah, there is a limit to this. There is a limit. Digger is the line. And then I reckon, you know, international flight. Brain surgeon. Yeah, brain surgeon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know much about this.
Starting point is 02:06:03 I wouldn't go past that. No. That is the line. P wouldn't go past that. No. No. That is the line. Pinnacle, that one. Right. We've got a couple of confessions to round us off. Have we?
Starting point is 02:06:12 So what happens here, people write in things they've done wrong. Can I play the remix? And we either give them absolution and say, you're fine, don't worry about it, or we give them a bit of penance. Right. We've got the jingle on.
Starting point is 02:06:27 Sorry, Jim, we're just going to have a little rave. This one's so good. Oh, it's a sneaky one. Right, let's go for it. Right. Go on, Finn. We've got two options. Go on. Right, let's go for it. Go on, Finn. We've got two options. Go on.
Starting point is 02:06:46 Which one first? So there's either the gross one or there's the sad one. Sad one. Sad one first. Still gross, still coming back. Still coming back. Okay. So, as always, these are anonymous.
Starting point is 02:06:58 Patreon.com. Have a word pod. Go and message in or what's the email? Have a word pod at gmail.com. Hey lads, I have a confession that I need to get off my chest. I worked at Pets at Home during COVID mainly just as something to do.
Starting point is 02:07:10 We were given very little training. Honestly, it was kind of laughable. Anyway, one day we get a delivery of Venezuelan Black Corey and they come... Who's he? Is that a new action figure? I've got Dr. Cody. I've got Venezuela and Black Cody.
Starting point is 02:07:38 This is a funny one. It's not sad. There's no way that we're not getting Jade to design us a line of action figures called Corny now. This year's must-have toy.
Starting point is 02:07:56 Corny. From Mattel. Right. Anyway, we get a delivery. Leave it there. Just leave it there. That is. We get a delivery. It's a fish. Obviously. we get a delivery. Leave it there. Just leave it there. I don't know if that is.
Starting point is 02:08:06 We get a delivery. It's a fish. It gets telled later. It gets telled, lad. Aye, that story gets telled. Anyway, one day we get a delivery. You fucking IRA bastard. We get a delivery. That way.
Starting point is 02:08:23 And they come in the little plastic bags you get goldfish in at the fair. To put the fish in the tank, you need to cut the top off the bag and pour them in. On this occasion, I was slightly distracted and accidentally decapitated one of the fish with the scissors. Wow. Praying no one would notice, I emptied the bag into the tank. Yeah, it's a two-headed Corey. Don't worry about that.
Starting point is 02:08:44 Yeah, it's a bleeding Corey. Very normal notice. Emptied the bag into the tank and carried on with my day. Later on, a child came up to me and asked me why one of the blackfish had no head. I didn't know what to say, so came up with the excuse that some of them just look like that and it might be deformed. Do I deserve penance, both for decapitating the poor fish and lying to the child? Was it not dead?
Starting point is 02:09:08 Lying to children is fine. As we've proved on this episode. Was it not dead? Yeah, it was dead. Did you say it's dead? Shut up. Yeah, to a child. Yeah, we've got a really bad case
Starting point is 02:09:18 in that tank of head foley ophiitis. It's a nightmare. It's getting them. It's like bird flu. I mean, the lie to the child you could who gives a fuck but the i mean if you work at a pet shop and you decapitate any animal like that is bad isn't it i mean that should be well up there on the list come on have you ever killed an animal jim what you ever killed an animal? Al-Qaeda Have you ever killed an animal Jim? What?

It's a little gobshite. That's what it is. Dan's family are like hunters. Is it a bird or is it? It's a little woodland.
Starting point is 02:11:45 It's like a feather. It's a little gobshite. That's what it is. Threatening my livestock. A rabid vole. Oh, it's getting his head fucking kicked in. I don't think he's got any penance. No penance.
Starting point is 02:11:56 Oh, maybe. No. I think it was an accident, but if this ever happens again, then people are going to start to ask questions. So your penance is don't behead any animals till the day you die
Starting point is 02:12:07 it said they had very little training it must be mad working in them shops where you just like one day a training I've got to be honest with you I think I could figure out how to not behead any fish what training do you need
