Starting point is 00:01:40 Let's get through this mess together. Oh, I've had three fucking boozy beers, but that was synchronised, and I think that's a great sign for what's about to happen. How are you, mate? You seem a bit pissed. I've had a few. It's going!
Starting point is 00:02:19 I've had a few. I'm on my third beer, and I've brought a bottle of gin in with me for when I get bored oh gee it's the lockdown lock-in with Adam Rowe and Dan Nightingale every Saturday coming to you live it's the end of the
Starting point is 00:02:38 podding week if you like getting caught if you're this is now our equivalent of the fucking boss coming in on Friday afternoon and going, you can all go at two. I mean, the thing is, I know we've got a few advertisers and we're trying to do the best we can for them. And also we've got patrons and we really appreciate the support.

Starting point is 00:03:24 What have you been up to today? I had my first beverage about half past midday. Laura was like, are you having a drink? I was like, it's for the podcast, babe. So I'm working. I had that conversation with Jade. I was playing FIFA at half one and opened the beer. She was like, that's a long,
Starting point is 00:03:41 because I'm doing a Zoom meeting with some of my mates later to have a drink. Jade was like, that's a long... Because I'm doing a Zoom meeting with some of my mates later to have a drink. She was like, that's a long time you're going to be drinking today. And I was like, look, I've promised it to the podcast people. I owe it to them to follow through. Yeah. Also, don't get jealous. As soon as someone, you can, in theory, get paid to booze,
Starting point is 00:04:02 I will be fully supportive. If you can pay some bills while getting shit faced i'm into it but as it as it counts credit control traditionally not a a service that financial regulators enjoy having their staff drunk during it like oh what could you always have money pay that money fuck off no they prefer you sober in podcasting one out of the six you're allowed to do it drunk don't actually feel that drunk but who's on the podcast isn't it it's my first one quite rosy-cheeked you've been in the garden yeah yeah yeah i'm in the middle of ed and i took a photo you did today while you were looking down at your phone on this and i'm in in the process of editing you
Starting point is 00:04:45 into the poster for pinky in the brain love it what are we gonna do tomorrow night pinky the same thing we do every night adam try to podcast all over the world also anyone who's like i cannot believe you're drinking this earlier i cannot believe what's happened to the world i cannot believe that a tory government. I cannot believe what's happened to the world. I cannot believe that a Tory government is helping out the self-employed and giving them like a part. All people, like employed or self-employed, giving them part of their income.
Starting point is 00:05:15 I cannot believe that this could be the next two months. So, do you know what? Normal rules don't fucking apply. I'm having a bevy. You can't be an alcoholic during a pandemic. It is impossible. So, yeah, I... You can't be an alcoholic
Starting point is 00:05:31 on holiday. We're essentially on holiday at the minute, aren't we? Everyone. We're all on a diseased, riddled holiday. All inclusive.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Everything in the fridge is free. Fucking crack on, kids. I mean, how bad would your holiday have to be that you got locked in it that would be like a really nasty fucking case of verrucas broke out around a swimming pool at a hotel they were like please everyone stay in your hotel rooms like right that would be a nightmare fucking hell but yeah this is kind of a staycation in it i hear that's a very american
Starting point is 00:06:05 term but this is basically what it is you just you have a holiday oh my god we're not gonna go away we're just gonna get a hotel in the downtown for a few days me and the wife do you know a lot of times you you book away and you travel and for all the costs i just think do you spend time in your home and enjoy it? And that's what we're doing. I know literally tens of thousands of people are dying, but we're really enjoying the garden, you know? And so trying to find a positive.
Starting point is 00:06:33 I've got the first question of the day for you. Ready? What is your least favorite race of people? Is our scouses A race? Separate question Separate question No
Starting point is 00:06:48 I Can I counter that with That was just me joking Before everyone was like What the fuck Just me joking But I think a lot of people
Starting point is 00:07:00 Quietly In their head In Liverpool Answered that Yeah I fucking think it is, actually, yeah. And you're being racist. What's my least favourite type of race? White men.
Starting point is 00:07:13 No, you can't pick white. Thank you, because they're awful. I've been working at a workplace, packing. Norwegian. That's not a race, they're still white. Right, you've got to either pick black. Yeah, but the skandos What?
Starting point is 00:07:28 The skandos Skandos Let's make up Let's make up Let's make up a non-offensive Potentially Get away from me, you fucking skando I don't want anything to do with the fucking skandos
Starting point is 00:07:43 I'll catch Scando disease, get away. Fucking hell, you stink of furniture. Did you just get Norway and Sweden mixed up? What do you mean? You saw an IKEA there,
Starting point is 00:07:57 weren't you? Yeah. Yeah. Do you want to do it? Yeah. Oh, they are Scandinavian. Oh, that's so awkward. I'll take that.
Starting point is 00:08:05 One drunken nail to me. If you like King of Toronto. I love it when you do stuff like that. Scandos. Now, let's not do actual racist terms because racism is obviously awful. Let's invent racial slurs. Let's invent racial shit yes
Starting point is 00:08:25 exactly adam uh for groups of people that traditionally don't suffer racism scandinavia fucking scandals yeah you have to say fucking as well you're fucking scandal someone in norway right now is like, that's actually our word. What about people from Belarus? You know how much it hurts me that I haven't got the Belarusian Premier League football results music
Starting point is 00:09:00 anymore. I've just got... Shit. That would be a different result. A nice time for the results from the belarusian premier league this is wrong music someone emailed us and said if you're a hacker if you were a hacker what would you hack and i it was one of those questions where you're like, that feels like it could be comedy gold, but in my head I was like, I don't know. And I've just accidentally fallen across the answer. Literally, I would like to just all sporting results.
Starting point is 00:09:33 And now it's time for the football results. Okay, we're going to stop that there. That isn't the music we're meant to have. That song just reminds me of Shrek. Does it? Her name's Princess Fiona she likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain oh yeah
Starting point is 00:09:49 from when it's like a blind date sort of we've watched Shrek but Laura's weirdly anti-Shrek people from Belarus I mean aren't they like bell whiffs
Starting point is 00:10:05 I don't know anything you fucking bell whiff you Belarusian cunt you fucking bell whiff they're all going to be dead from corona in about a year because they've just steadfastly refused to accept it's actually happening
Starting point is 00:10:23 their prime minister said that vodka cures it, don't he? Oh, Jesus. The three fucking intensive care beds in the whole of Belarus, and they're just like, where is the vodka? These people are dying. What about New Zealand? You can't say Kiwi, because they like that, so it has to be certain.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Yeah, but that is their name isn't it so what a derogatory term yeah another one for kiwis quite a lot of pressure isn't it fucking
Starting point is 00:10:54 yeah I don't know Hobbit nonce Hobbit nonce do you know what's really fucking Hobbit nonce do you know what's really weird with New Zealand? I've been there a few times.
Starting point is 00:11:06 I've spent quite a lot of time there, and they are so nice. After a while, you start worrying that some of them are a bit simple. Everyone's so lovely, and you're like, what's going on here? Why is everyone so nice? You've got something to hide. Is that why you've all moved to the corner of the world?
Starting point is 00:11:25 All shagging hobbits, mate. Is it like... I don't know. Have they all got like kiddie porn sex dungeons? And that's why their ancestors have had to move them all to the corner of the world. I just called the whole country
Starting point is 00:11:41 paedophiles, didn't I? Mate, what's the difference between a hobbit and a midget what's the difference one lives in a cave and the other one is a hobbit oh jeez
Starting point is 00:12:04 it's going to be a silly one isn't it yeah i want more countries it's hard though isn't it because everywhere has a racial slur everywhere has a racial slur like scandinavia is so white so boring and so inoffensive what about the swiss oh iceland's just a fucking they're just distant scandals, aren't they? They're just like scandals that fucking drifted off. Ices. Fucking ices. You fucking popsicles.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Fuck you. What about the Swiss fucking cheese nonces everyone of mine's got nonces basically it's just a more creative way of calling a whole nationality a paedophile New Zealand far away paedos
Starting point is 00:12:58 Iceland cold nonce Switzerland high up yodeling nonce yodis yodeling nons. Yodis. Yodos? Oh, I think they're Austrian. Are they Austrian though? Just sing normally
Starting point is 00:13:14 you fucking yodi. You fucking yodi lad, get back to Yodistan or wherever you're from. This sounds like, basically, how would a Scouse stag do be offensive to the people of the places visited? Like, if there was a new company,
Starting point is 00:13:34 that's where we should start. Have a word stag dos with Adam and Dan. Well, the podcast becomes part of it, but we sell, and you've got to be from Merseyside, and it's all male. It's not one of them, like, modern stag dos. We're like, we've got two women because they're our best friends as well. We need all the fucking lids, right? And then we send you to
Starting point is 00:13:50 places where they really aren't waiting ready, prepared for a fucking scout stag do. Fucking Switzerland! You fucking yodel nonsense! Where are you going for your fucking stag do, Stevie? Eh, Basra
Starting point is 00:14:05 like a challenge I like a fucking challenge Uganda Uganda we can't do Uganda can we

Starting point is 00:14:42 I that's it that's great getting the psychology of marriage like it you're tuning it somewhere like
Starting point is 00:14:48 Romania or like Bucharest be sick wouldn't it what what just seen the orphanage 60p a pint just go to
Starting point is 00:14:59 fucking Lidl if that is that literally how amazing is that the commitment to cheap booze I don't give a shit
Starting point is 00:15:08 where it is I want the cheapest fucking beer Uganda's looking pretty good We don't have fresh water Yeah but how much
Starting point is 00:15:15 is fucking Estrella I don't want fresh water love have you got any beer in my assy We don't have any fresh water in the village
Starting point is 00:15:23 I don't give a fuck I'm not drinking water and I'm not gay. I'm on a stag do. I'm not a fucking theatre camp. Get out me face you fucking ugg boots
Starting point is 00:15:32 and get me a peroni. Bucharest, where did that come from? Have you really, do you really want to go to Bucharest? I mean, obviously not right now.
Starting point is 00:15:44 That's where Paul Blair went. I think that's where the owner of Hot Water Comedy Club went. Right. And I mean, those guys are doing all right, but you go to somewhere really poor, it'll really make the pound stretch, won't it? Just go to the poorest place ever. Yeah, how much did you take on the stag do?
Starting point is 00:15:59 35 quid, but because we went to Uzbekistan, we were there for a fortnight, five-star hotel. I'd love to do an amazing one. The thing is with a stag do, is like, you've got to go somewhere relatively cheap, haven't you? Because then your skint mates
Starting point is 00:16:13 can still come. You want to go abroad, but, right, I can't be dealing with, like, I hate Liverpool in the summer because you get stag do's
Starting point is 00:16:23 from all over the UK coming to Liverpool. I'm like, why are you here? Get a fucking plane to somewhere better than this, do you know what I mean? We're ruining our nightlife. It is pretty amazing nightlife. Dosser. Newcastle's the same.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Little Fat Steve. Pino. Rapist. That group of friends really should have vetted Pee-doe. Rapist. Rapy day. That group of friends really should have vetted who was controlling the names on the T-shirts. Dead Ma. Dead Da. Dead Ma. Dead Ma.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Dead Wife. Or, as he's known to the lads, Hattrick. Bingo Steve. Why is he called Bingo Steveve as my guy that the fucking um disabled sorry um and the name on the back of the wheelchair i can't remember what we're talking about yeah newcastle's new where i went to uni newcastle for nine of the happiest months of my life. And that's where I got into...
Starting point is 00:17:28 You didn't say years then. That's correct. How bad did you fail those exams? I've been held back again. Van Wilder, Dan Nightingale style. I fucking loved it. But Friday and Saturday night in Newcastle is something else.
Starting point is 00:17:41 And it's not just because Geordie's a mental, which they are. It is a bit of a mental city, it's great for it but there's just so many British tourists who are just there on the fucking piss and it does sort of ruin the city centre
Starting point is 00:17:55 it just makes it really over the edge I don't like going out in Liverpool on a Friday or a Saturday night, I prefer Sunday nights for a drink in Liverpool. Yeah, that's a proper local touch, isn't it? Sunday night. Do you remember when Hot Water first...
Starting point is 00:18:14 When they opened the two venues? Yeah. And they... Where's the fucking beer? What have you lost, Dan? Where's my beer, man? What's going on? You've lost your beer?
Starting point is 00:18:23 Yeah, man. You just had it in your hand. What the fuck is going on? Oh, by the way, I'm having Turbo Shandy. Oh, you're mixing Smyrna with ice and beer? I wonder if Texas Jilly Bean, who's becoming our most famous... We didn't do an inductee this week, by the way, to the Hall of Fame. Yeah, it's got to be Jilly Bean.
Starting point is 00:18:43 It's Jill. Hang on, hang on, hang on. Texas Jilly Bean just Jilly Bean. That's for you, darling. That's for you, darling. Can I just say, Jilly, if you don't know what a turbo shandy is, it's like a lemon
Starting point is 00:18:58 flavoured alcoop pop. We have Smearnoff Ice over there. I don't know whether you get that in the States, in the Deep South. I don't know what that was. Deep South of Australia there, fucking Adam. I think I... Adam?
Starting point is 00:19:13 You mix that with a beer and it makes a Turbo Shandy. When Hot Water Comedy Club first launched and it was in a nightclub, Smear-N-Off Ice bottles used to be a quid in that nightclub
Starting point is 00:19:22 and bottles of Budweiser used to be a pound as well. So you'd just get one of each and you'd get a pint of Turbo Shandy for two quid. If you are listening to this bit of the podcast, I just want to let you know that Dan has gone for a walk to try and find his beer. I found it!
Starting point is 00:19:37 I heard you talking. You're getting more professional. You're getting more professional. You're just covered for your boozy fucking pod partner. The thing is, I just know that normally you edit this, but you're going to be in no state to edit this in a couple of hours' time, so all this shit's going to stay in. Can't be arsed.
Starting point is 00:19:53 I want to change the name of the pod to have a word uncut. Why have you changed it to uncut? Because we want people to hear every just thing that's going on. Can you be arsed editing? No, that's the reason. I can't be fucking bothered. It's really weird buying Smirnoff ice in a really eggy co-op that's got plastic fucking dividers up between the staff and you've all got to stand on a cross and there's a limit of how many people you can go in and when you're buying smirnoff ice as part of that you really
Starting point is 00:20:19 look like an irresponsible corona fucking chopper like people are risking their lives go for only the absolute essentials i need a turbo shandy adam i can't fucking function without it i want to try and get fingered in my own fucking garden i'm really lucky that i have a stash of beer in and i've like the gin i've got about for about six months um because i collect my alcohol for times like this daniel okay yeah i I'm going to be fine, motherfucker. Yeah, next week, I promise, I'm going to have my beer 52 case because everyone on Twitter has been saying the beer 52 booze is great, so I'm going to have that ordered and ready to go for next week.
Starting point is 00:20:59 But yeah, talking about Liverpool City Centre, when Hot Water, who you just mentioned, we'll have a few mentions today, where I first met Adam all those many years ago. Oh, no, it wasn't, was it? Was it The Frog? You met me at The Frog. I remember that when they were opening the two venues and you had to walk from Seal Street.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Just before we carry on, because I do want to hear this story, I just want to let you know, the other day, because I went to message you on Facebook for some reason, hear this story i just want to let you know i am the other day because i went to message you on facebook for some reason um i uh i found the very first conversation between us two do you want to know what it is okay so i messaged you and said what year um 2010 oh my days this is a decade ago one day dan do you want to do a podcast? I was like, fuck off, newbie.
Starting point is 00:21:50 So I missed you on the 16th of November, 2010. I messaged you and said, thanks for tonight, mate. You're the best comp here I've gigged with so far. Do you know what you said back? Go on. Fucking nothing. You blanked me. You blanked me. You blanked me, Daniel.
Starting point is 00:22:08 The next message is three years fucking later. Also from me. And you blanked that as well. The next message after that is three months later. And you fucking blanked that as well. November 2013. You blanked that as well. And then you sent me a pound on my banking app
Starting point is 00:22:27 and a message you're fucking little wrong oh dear that is brutal sorry about that old boy three years of i like you i wrote you as a comedian. Will you please reply? And you're like, fuck you. So here's a little insight into that. I get a lot of messages on Facebook from new comics because of Beat the Frog. Because it's a night I started. I do it twice a month. And I try and be nice to everyone. But this is...
Starting point is 00:23:04 The older I've got, the better I've got at that. But you were talking 10 years ago when I was just living in the middle of Manchester and boozing loads. I was like, yeah, I'm not... I can't be... I just couldn't be arsed.
Starting point is 00:23:15 I just couldn't be arsed. And then I bet as soon as I saw you absolutely rip a doodle roo, I think it was different from there on in, weren't we? Well, I was, you know... That's painted me in a bad light. Some of the fucking messages could you give me
Starting point is 00:23:30 a breakdown of what I did right and wrong? oh yeah okay cool because I'm your fucking comedy coach start with, grow a pair get back on the stage and work it out yourself like every other fucking comic you massive vagina do you want to put a name on the end of that?
Starting point is 00:23:46 Who that was specifically to? There's 50 fucking messages over the years. Could you give me some feedback on what I was doing wrong? Like, oh my God, stop being so fucking needy. What have you got? I've got some Whitley Neal rhubarb and ginger gin.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Oh my God. Fire. Which fucking menopausal woman did you steal that off? Your ma. She's already gone through the change from living to a four-game dad. If you like King of Colada. Every time we go quiet, don't they just play that song the least appropriate yeah my mum did die yeah walking through uh liverpool from hot water to hot water in that mad time that mad three or
Starting point is 00:24:41 four months five months whatever they had the two venues. So you open Hardman Street. When you would gig at both on the same night. So in one night you do four gigs, which hashtag is two minute. You'd go from Hardman to Seal. So open the early show, close the early show at Seal, open the early show at Seal, close the late show at Hardman. And that walk, that second walk from seal to harbour or from harbour to seal if you do it about quarter past 10 for 10 me that in liverpool city centre on a
Starting point is 00:25:14 saturday night that is pretty fucking bad that that is that is they that's a city. Out of the Dawn of the Dead. It really gets a bit Dawn of the Dead. But if Dawn of the Dead was mainly about strippers, that's, do you know what I mean? It's a lot. The girls, the lads look good as well, but they're really dolled up, really high heels, fucking tottering,
Starting point is 00:25:43 and the skirts are up, but they're just so shit-faced it's something else there's only a few places in the uk that claim that level of like the number of people the sort of vibrance of it and also how shit-faced they are like it's like you could say well there's loads of town centres where they all get shit-faced yeah but they look like fucking mouth breathers like you ain't seen nothing like liverpool especially the number one day of the year for oh, there's loads of town centres where they all get shit-faced. Yeah, but they look like fucking mouth-breathers. Yeah, you ain't seen nothing like Liverpool. Especially the number one day of the year for this is not going to happen this year because it's been cancelled due to COVID-19,
Starting point is 00:26:13 is when we do Aintree races, which most people will know as the Grand National, which is a race that's on the Saturday of the three-day meet. So you have... Saturday is known as the Grand National Day. Friday, I don't know what that's called. Oh, no. It's Ladies' Day.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Ladies' Day. Thursday is just like the opening day. Friday, Ladies' Day, is when it's almost like competitive dressing from the women. So they get like their own dresses. They make sure they don't get it from the high street because they don't want to be seen as the exact same as someone else. Loads of them are custom made and the fucking hats and everyone's
Starting point is 00:26:48 at 12 in the afternoon when they turn up at the races and there's a guy taking photos and going if you give us a five I'll put that on a fucking key ring for you they look fucking amazing and at 3 o'clock in the morning they don't 3 o'clock in the morning when you've got a hat
Starting point is 00:27:04 that's got fruit on and you're throwing a kebab at some fucking dickhead who's trying to skip the queue and miss the chillies. Yeah. Hey, you fucking slag. I was here before you.
Starting point is 00:27:14 No, we both ordered chicken kebabs just because he said chicken kebab doesn't mean it's your chicken kebab, does it? It's his chicken kebab. I've ordered a chicken kebab as well, no, but I was here before it. Yes, but she is regular customer. We skipped it.
Starting point is 00:27:27 I'll fucking smash it. Regular customer? I'm here fucking every week. You're joking. I know the doorman. We haven't got a doorman. This is Mr. Chili's kebab house. We don't need security. You're fucking willing a minute to hear them going to wrap that fucking Donamy around your head.
Starting point is 00:27:44 It's rough as fuck. It looks like the last two minutes of a particularly rough episode of my big fat gypsy wedding. Do you know when they're like, oh my God, look at where... He's spent over a thousand pounds on the fucking dress, you know? And then at the end where they're all grabbing each other in a car park and it gets a bit fucking weird. Always after ladies' day, there's something goes around social media of like a girl pissing in a car park and it gets a bit fucking weird that's yeah always after ladies
Starting point is 00:28:05 day there's something goes around social media of like a girl pissing in a men's urinal like really expensive skirt hiked up and just like lowering her arse into a men's and then just looking at face like what was i meant to do i don't give a fuck but i respect that to be honest with you i'm bad for pissing in places I shouldn't piss when I'm drunk. Um, I'm bad for pissing in places I shouldn't piss when I'm drunk. Talk to me. I think I get that from my dad. Um, where's the,
Starting point is 00:28:34 what, just give me some examples and then build up to the worst place ever. So, um, one time I was kicked out of pop world for pissing in a fishbowl because it was too busy to walk all the way to the toilet. Honestly, it's disgusting, it's chavvy, but
Starting point is 00:28:47 it makes total sense. It literally makes total sense. I was just hammered. Pop World, if you've never been, I know I said last week it's just cheesy 90s music and that sounds a bit shit, but it's not. The atmosphere in these places is incredible and it gets literally packed, like two packs of that
Starting point is 00:29:04 to get to the toilet. If the gets literally packed, like two packs of that. To get to the toilet, it's like, if the club was empty, it's a 20 second walk to the toilet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When it's full, it's a 20 minute walk to get there. Like you've got to,
Starting point is 00:29:13 and you're bumping into people along the way who you know from school and whatever. It's a nightmare. So I was just hammered in the corner and I was like, there's a fishbowl there. Empty. An empty fishbowl.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Sure. Oh, no. Ah, damn. You didn't piss in someone's 15-pound fishbowl. No. No. Never. No.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Girls, girls, what were you doing in that piss bowl? Why are you zipping in your fight? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. I've finished. Eddie, let me ask you a question. If you like ginger coladas
Starting point is 00:29:46 You wanna try that one, love? You wanna try that one? That's got a special fucking zest to it. On this episode, Dan's got a new button. Oh, shut up, you. You're my fucking new button. Yes. But yeah, I've pissed there. When I was a kid, I woke up once.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Now, in the council house I grew up in, the bathroom was like an extension on the house. You know what I mean by an extension? But it's only a one-floor extension. So if you went out of my bedroom window, you would be on top of the bathroom, essentially. The extension was just underneath my bedroom and out. I woke up once and my dad had come home drunk
Starting point is 00:30:24 and he was just pissing off the extension into the back garden. I absolutely haven't. Just stood on the extension, walking on the grass. Of his own house. Like it's one thing if it's the balcony in Benidorm and your fucking hotel
Starting point is 00:30:44 you little dirty maverick but when everyone that can see you knows who you are it's a special type of dirt isn't it this is one for the fucking ages woo I can get the back lane pow oh tremendous
Starting point is 00:31:00 yeah so when I see like a woman on ladies day pissing in a man's urinal i'm like you know what she's seen the queue for the ladies it was enormous as it always is and she went you know what time for a compromise and she's gone i'm gonna go in the men's doesn't fucking matter i'll piss in the fucking urinal and if anyone wants to try and neck me while i'm in there everything's a bonus in it it's just so it's so minging but it yeah there is a major problem in there with poor old girls do suffer it like if you call the race
Starting point is 00:31:33 meeting ladies day you need to build like you know like at the excel center they've built a new hospital at aintree they should build a new fucking toilets just for that friday like an emergency 5,000 toilets for all the women. Like, I don't want to queue up. I'm going to piss myself. I think it's Adam Staunton who says, he's a great comic, by the way, a Scouse comic, who said,
Starting point is 00:31:55 Ladies' Day would be much better named Slags in Hats Day. Oh, Jesus. Where's the weirdest place you've ever had to piss? Don't say on the back of a stage, coach, because I will end the podcast now. In the bath on my girlfriend's leg.
Starting point is 00:32:18 What? What? It's weird. It's weird on her in the bath a bit hang on were you getting a bath no we were like i'm gonna try the weeing thing oh you were trying the piss sex thing yeah it was just a bit i don't know just got i don't know what this was no no it was before that's why i'm speaking in a lower voice right okay so you pissed on a woman because you were trying the piss thing see i've watched when i'm hungover i do watch some piss
Starting point is 00:32:50 porn i have said before but i've never been having sex and thought you know what improved this the smell of sugar puffs i can imagine if the girl was like oh that's cloudy i think you might have diabetes well that's not as sexy as I thought it would be. We'd just been up all night on the sesh. It was just a really unhealthy relationship back in the days. I was about 25. We used to go clubbing and go to parties. And then afterwards, it'd just be me and her.
Starting point is 00:33:20 And we'd be up for hours just off our fucking box. It's just a combination of like having heartfelt chats arguing listening to deep house music and bonking and i just for some reason we ended up in the bathroom and at one point like i shaved her for chaja yeah i gave her i'd never done it i just wanted to do it and then we shaved sort of shaved her yeah it was just a just a blur I couldn't tell you exactly when this was you know that's weird than pissing more weird than pissing on it
Starting point is 00:33:51 shave me shave me and then I remember I remember a man using a max three on me this is going to be so shave me wax me and then she waxed my leg can you please explain the logistics to me and i love that you only piss on a leg surely that's not that's the least of ross actually to get anything out of it it's got to be on her face
Starting point is 00:34:18 whoa you don't start with the face. You move up the body. Mate, you don't literally go from, I wonder if we'll enjoy this. Give us your face. That's not how that goes. You start with a leg. Wee on a leg. Like, wow, that's exciting.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Move your way up. Up at the knee. Still doing it for me. Keep going. Keep it going. Oh, that's enough. Turns out you can piss on my midriff. still doing it for me keep going keep it going oh that's enough turns out you can piss piss on my midriff
Starting point is 00:34:47 but not on my tits we just tried it was gross just turned the shower on I just love the thought of you stood over a bath with your little
Starting point is 00:35:00 coke shriveled dick out we were both in the bath you were what? just both stood in the shower it's just ridiculous it's the least sexual thing ever and then we just had a shower that's absolutely pointless
Starting point is 00:35:21 absolutely pointless but we were so off our head on drugs. In my head, for some reason, in my head, this woman is like two foot taller than you. Why?
Starting point is 00:35:38 I don't know, but you've pissed on her leg and she's gone, no, not for me. And you've gone, yeah, me neither. Should we just get a wash yeah arms up oh that's so funny that's basically how it happened oh yeah tried to have a romantic i remember this is the flat we lived together in for about fucking a year year and a bit and it was so mental once we had an argument so bad we we'd both gone to the shops and i'd gone to the another shop i was at the post office and i said will you just wait there and
Starting point is 00:36:11 i'll come and get you we didn't have our neither of us had our phones on me because we just nipped out so i couldn't find her and she had the keys to the flat and ended up being locked out and like wandering from the shop back to the flat back back to the shop, just thinking, like, are you at one or the other? There's only one route to this shop. And she ended up going, I went and waited at the other shop for you, even though that had never been discussed. It's one of those stupid arguments where you're like,
Starting point is 00:36:37 this is why mobiles are amazing and I should have had my K.O. We just nipped out. I got really wound up because it was an hour of dicking around and when we got when i finally found her she came back and i went he fucking had an argument and i called her a moron in the argument i called her a moron and it set off you're talking about pressing buttons it obviously pressed one of her buttons i'm never nasty like that usually i've looked you lose your temperature a moron lose your temper that's too much of a straw man for her she lost this shit moron yeah to be fair i'm looking back now i'm saying i'm not nasty i've i've got some absolute fucking states when when you're arguing
Starting point is 00:37:17 but it's not with laura laura and i never go nasty this is 10 15 years ago so we used to go for it but for some reason moron must have set something off in it i think her dad used to be really nasty to her and like call you're a fucking moron three times today well i'd never called her a moron before and i called her a moron a moron she went why are you calling me what i was like because you're a fucking idiot and she got so wound up she climbed out of the window because i wouldn't let her pass me she was like let me out i'm going i'm going home she i went no you're not why do you don't want to leave we're just having a fucking argument i'm going back to newcastle i was like
Starting point is 00:37:55 you're not going to go back to newcastle you call me a fucking idiot you think i'm a moron and she climbed out of the window and got on a train to newcastle that's how mental that relationship was so me giving her a shave and weeing on her leg really respect my missus like there's times when we're arguing and i'm like you're a fucking pain in the ass this is far this is annoying and then i hear me mates tell stories of exes like that and i'm'm like, Jade is an angel. She's fucking great. She's just a normal person. So for all of the fun it was, I loved going clubbing and staying up all night
Starting point is 00:38:31 and talking shy. That was great. And there was moments, me and her, she was called Vicky. We had a great time. But when it was batshit, it was proper batshit. And when you wee on someone's foot in a shower, and then like three days later,
Starting point is 00:38:44 you can't find each other at the post office, you call her a moron, it escalates. And she climbed out of the flat window. By the way, it's not like on the fifth floor. We had a ground floor flat. She wasn't that mental. Come on, did you call me? Suicide!
Starting point is 00:38:58 Slide, moron. She went back to Newcastle in a fucking... In running leggings with a bank card. What a fucking psycho. Yeah. Oh, Christ. Did you ever see it again? When we split up, that was...
Starting point is 00:39:15 Yeah. We had one conversation about three months after. I was really in love with her. But, you know, when you... I don't know if anyone's ever done this. When you're in love with someone and you're like, I know that you are no good for me and i am no good for you like even then even though i was like she's a dick she's a nightmare she's a fucking psycho i knew i was no
Starting point is 00:39:36 good for her we were we were the worst we just weren't good for each other but i was so in love with her because sometimes you just are aren aren't you? You're like, you're a psycho. And it's like one of those things where you're like, it's, she was like a firework. You wanted to watch it all happen, but you could definitely get burned at the end of it.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Like it really was that, that destructive. So when we let each other go, she moved to London and there was a, there was some phone calls and it just, it was clear that I was trying to move on and and she'd had enough, and yeah, fuck me. And I don't know if you've ever had this, when you've split up with someone,
Starting point is 00:40:10 and you've dreamt about them afterwards, and you wake up, and you feel really let down by your subconscious. Do you ever do that? Like, they're in your subconscious, so you're like, I'm over you, I'm done with this, and like a year later, you wake up, and you're like, oh, fuck off come on dreams get on board i've blocked her on everything i can't block her in my dreams like it's it was
Starting point is 00:40:32 just a nightmare took ages to get her out my system fuck me what a loon if they came up with the technology where you could delete memories would you use it i would have used it i would have used it then i was trying to erase many memories you've got that you'd like to get rid of? Oh. Once they're gone, you can't remember them. You can't be like, oh, I deleted that memory. It would be like you've never
Starting point is 00:40:55 had it. At the end of using the technology, they men in black you. Yes, I was going to say, I was trying to think of the film Men in Black. You don't even remember the technology, you'd just be carrying on tomorrow, but they're gone you've just got gaps in you
Starting point is 00:41:11 What happened that year? I don't know Honestly mate I know you haven't done loads of drugs but that is a bit like what doing drugs regularly is like Tell me what 2007-2008 was when you were living in leeds and you were going clubbing loads uh here comes the man in black remember tommy lee jones and will smith and said
Starting point is 00:41:35 fucking there's a pug that talks uh real genuinely lots of that a lot of that music that a lot of the memories there are fucking blurred and all I can remember is shaving a fanny and weeing on her foot and then seeing a psycho's bum disappear out of a window and like, that bitch is going to Newcastle. By the way, just no context, have a word. Could you just cut that bit out, please? I weed on her foot, I shave her fanny
Starting point is 00:41:59 and I see my bum going out the window. Have you ever been out with a girl where your mate, I love it when your mates sort of intervene. My best mate, my best mates growing up, Sean, Alistair and Bondi. And Bondi is still my best mate. Alistair listens
Starting point is 00:42:18 to the pod, he's in Oslo. I've got to ring him actually. Sean's in South Africa. Bondi's in fucking Birmingham. You've got a mate who's gone fucking scandal. You've got a mate who's gone fucking scandal. You've got a fucking scandal mate. He's gone married a fucking scandal. You can't be mixing Anglo
Starting point is 00:42:35 Saxon prestige with fucking scandal blood. I tell you what, and when you do, it doesn't look any different that's like putting white chocolate chips into a fucking melted milky bar it all looks the same um yeah oh yeah they what they were talking about when we were splitting up and i was like i need to move on my bond my mate bond is so, like, oblivious.
Starting point is 00:43:05 He's like, I think she's all right. I don't know. She seems all right. Do I not seem angry, though? I seem tense. Do I seem tense to you? No, no, you're fine. She's all right.
Starting point is 00:43:14 She's sound. She's fit. And my mate Sean literally sat me down and was like, right, I don't want to be overdramatic, which he always is. He went, you need to get the fuck out of there. She will ruin your fucking life next minute she's pregnant you're like all right sean i've got it have you ever have you ever had a mate sort of intervene and give you the fucking chat like that no so my first sort of long-term
Starting point is 00:43:38 like proper girlfriend was a girl called sophie who i met uh when I worked in the nightclub Endy and I also used to gig there, that's where Hot Water originally started a nightclub called Endy in Liverpool and from the off she hated my best mate Carl and he hated her Oh that's always difficult
Starting point is 00:44:00 So now she was quite vocal about it as girlfriends tend to be I don't fucking like him, I don't fucking like him. I don't fucking like him one fucking bit. I'm not arsed. He's a fucking knobhead. And I know your mates and that. I'm not trying to come between yous.
Starting point is 00:44:12 I just feel like I would be doing this relationship a disservice to not let you know that I think he's a fucking bellend. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying you have to stop seeing him. That would make me feel better. but and it would definitely mean our relationship last one i'm not trying to come between you and your mates all i'm saying is if you want to have sex with me you need to fuck him off and never talk about him again do you know i mean is that is that unfair am i being unfair i'm trying to be as nice as I can, do you know what I mean? But I just hope he dies.
Starting point is 00:44:46 Carl said to me at one point, look, like, you know, I'm not, I'm not her biggest fan, but she's your missus. And that's the way it is
Starting point is 00:44:55 for as long as we're together. So like, that was, that nightclub is where I spent a lot of my sort of late teenage, early 20s years going out when I was here as well. And Carl would be with me a lot of the time of late teen, early 20s years going out when I was here as well.
Starting point is 00:45:05 And Carl would be with me a lot of the time. And if I was off work, she'd often be in work. And we'd be in there. And after we broke up, I said to Carl, the thing is, lads, do you know what happened? Towards the end, she just became a cunt. And he went, no, as your mate, now that it's over, let me tell you this. She's been a cunt from he went no as your mate now that it's over let me tell you this she's been a cunt
Starting point is 00:45:27 from day one right and we weren't in there on Halloween one night I was off I booked it off months in advance so that I could have a Halloween night out which is like the three biggest nights of the year in Liverpool are Halloween, Boxing Night and New Year's Eve
Starting point is 00:45:44 they're the three big nights What about Mizzy Night? No one goes out on Mizzy Night because they go around the streets, second houses, you know what I mean? Sorry, sorry. And he went to the bar in Envy and Sophie come to save him and went, you know, I can't watch you once.
Starting point is 00:46:01 And he went, I want someone else to save me. That's what he said. Jesus Christ. And she went, well, there's no one else here. And he went, I want someone else to save me. That's what he said. Jesus Christ. And she went, well, there's no one else here. And he went, well,
Starting point is 00:46:07 I'll fucking wait then. And she went, why are you being a dick? And he went, I've thought you were a fat dickhead for a year and a half. And now that you're not with him, I don't have to be polite to you anymore. Fuck off.
Starting point is 00:46:19 I'll wait for someone else. Oh, brilliant. Oh, Carl, shout out to Carl. That's someone who is do you know what i think this bitch is fucking crazy but she's with me mate i'm gonna let it slide i'll be there for him and when it goes down i'll be as big as fucking as biggest ally in the break-up i mean if any girls are listening to this going this is is really sexist because, what, are women just mental?
Starting point is 00:46:45 No, there's some absolute douchebag guys out there. And you will know some of your female friends have been totally manipulated by these horrible, undermining, nasty fucking manipulators. It's not about girl or guy. It's about douchebags. Lunatics. But I will say this.
Starting point is 00:47:06 The younger you are, the more of this shit happens girl to guy yeah I really believe that because I think lads are so fucking gormless when they're young

Starting point is 00:52:26 I can just about hear what you're saying because it's coming from this. From the headphone. I just think I hate Adam's personality on the podcast because he talks to me like I'm on the podcast when it's 12 at night and we're watching The Good Wife. He'll talk to me as if I'm down on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:52:42 He'll use weird phrases. Very crass. Not a dunce! No, I don't. Oh, not that one. No, I don't. What are you saying? That is the dodgiest one. Honestly, like, he acts as if the podcast is still going 24-7 and it's getting on me nerves.
Starting point is 00:52:57 It's the word podcast. I never want to hear it. Do you know? How do you feel about money? Oh, no, I do want that. Yeah, I do want that. Look how pink he looks. Look how drunk he looks. He is. He's been digging a ditch in the garden.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Get off. This is why women aren't good at podcasts. Bye, dude. Bye, Jade. Bye, Adam. See you later. Excuse you. You are very famous to our listeners and they'll really appreciate that they finally heard your voice.
Starting point is 00:53:34 He just said... No, Jade, I'm joking. Jade, it was just a joke. He said he was joking. Just a joke. Jade's feisty, isn't she? Laura takes the banter better than that. Jade's fuming.
Starting point is 00:53:48 She literally got... It's like living with someone who's got such a lack of sense of humor. I love you so much. I'll skew after the episode. Mate, it's just a little all-killer, no-filler joke that, you know... What? Don't... You don't want me to play up to my audience

Starting point is 00:57:26 have a legend of the day loving the podcast guys keep up the good work just wanted to give a shout out to Scott from East Cleveland Lock and Key he has done a 30 mile round trip today
Starting point is 00:57:35 on Good Friday to come and fix a broken patio door for free you may think it's just a broken patio door but this door belongs to my 87 year old
Starting point is 00:57:42 father-in-law he lost his wife of 60 years a fortnight ago to the coronavirus oh jesus and his garden has become his sanctuary since then often spending hours out there due to the damage to the door he hasn't been able to do so for a couple of days so he hasn't been able to go out in the garden basically and it's had a detrimental effect on him seeing his joy today when it was fixed was amazing. It's the little things in life.
Starting point is 00:58:08 Wouldn't have been possible without the help of Scott. Definitely out there. Ledge of the day. So, mate, a massive one. Who wrote that in? Scott from East Cleveland, Lock and Key. Scott, if you're listening, lad, it sounds to me like you might have a dead mother-in-law story. What I've known... I feel like you need to a dead mother-in-law story. What I've noticed...
Starting point is 00:58:27 I feel like you need to get that in ASAP, Rafi. A valid ledge of the day. But, yeah, have you lost anyone, you know, and had anything interesting happening while it's happening? Graeme in St Helens has asked us... I love these. Also, just sending you questions. I really like the questions, you know. Has asked us. I love these. Also, just sending you questions.
Starting point is 00:58:46 I really like the questions, you know. Has asked us, if you could... Look, we've had a drink. We've all had a bevy. We're all mates here. Have you ever pissed on a foot? What we essentially... The reason we've got features is because it gives us like a jump-off point on it.
Starting point is 00:58:59 It gives us a way to start talking shit. And any way you can get in touch with us that facilitates that is a help to us. Whether that's a question, a legend a day, a have a word. We need have a words because that's the name of the fucking podcast. So the more have a words you get in, the better. But any way you can just go,
Starting point is 00:59:19 here's something you can talk about. Get it in to haveawordpod at gmail.com. We love it all. Go ahead, Soz. Graeme in St. Helens has asked us, I love, genuinely, this is a simple one, but it works really well. If you could have a successful,
Starting point is 00:59:34 busy, lively boozer anywhere in the world, where would it be? If you like King of Kolada, Wigan. I get to choose where I put a really successful pub Yeah you know I think what we're saying is
Starting point is 00:59:51 You don't do comedy anymore You're retiring You're doing that old footballer thing That you used to do in the 70s and 80s You'd retire and open a boozer somewhere Wouldn't you? That's the old school footballer's way Do you know what?
Starting point is 01:00:03 Right Do you know one of the best places I've ever watched a Liverpool match and I include everywhere in Liverpool there's a bar called Carragher's I forget what street it's on but it's near Times Square in New York City I went to
Starting point is 01:00:15 New York last year to do some gigs and stuff do a couple of podcasts just like dip me tip in the American waters and Liverpool played two games while we were out there. And I watched them at Carragher's in New York. And the lad who runs it is called Mike. Is it named after Jamie? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:36 So there's genuinely, so there's three partners. There's two of them, Mike Romero. I don't know the other lad's name, but Mike Romero and the other lad, they run the New York City Liverpool Supporters Club. And then they bought this bar.
Starting point is 01:00:52 It's right bang in the middle of Manhattan, right near Times Square. And the third partner is Jamie Carragher. Jamie's a largely silent partner. Like Mike and the other guy, they run the business themselves. And they've essentially just licensed Jamie's name, but he's officially got a third of the business for that. It's fucking
Starting point is 01:01:08 amazing. And I reckon if I could run a successful boozer anywhere in the world, I'd put it in New York man. Like I'd love to live in New York. I really, really, really would. I've only been there once and I'm going to go back as soon as the shutdown's over. Like, New York
Starting point is 01:01:24 is one of those places, like, I grew up watching Friends. Friends is my favourite TV show of all time. And I know that a lot of people sneer at it and like, oh, it's a bit shit and whatever. Look, nothing can be shit if it's still being played eight hours a day on Comedy Central 20 years after it fucking stopped airing new episodes.
Starting point is 01:01:42 It's easy to sneer at it, and then I watch it, and I laugh along. Sometimes it's fine. It's quite formulaic, but that formula was very well put together, and it really works. I love it.
Starting point is 01:01:56 I've got a bit of nostalgia with it because it is sort of the basis of mine and my best mate Carl's friendship. We both loved Friends when we were younger, and that's sort of why we got to be mates. I grew up watching Manhattan and I've always like, and everyone who's been to New York before me
Starting point is 01:02:13 has always gone, oh, New York's an amazing city. And it was so hyped up to me that it couldn't possibly live up to those expectations. And then it did and it surpassed them. If I got to choose the rest of my life, I'd live in New York for a year or two and just do gigs every night at the comedy clubs
Starting point is 01:02:31 and give it a crack out there. Can we still do the podcast on Zoom though? Absolutely, of course. We can do this remotely now, we know that. We don't need to live in the same country. Don't take the fucking pod away. I'll tell you this though. Before I went full time
Starting point is 01:02:45 with stand-up, I was working in bars and the other thing I was doing was studying mathematics. I went to the University of Liverpool for a week. One week
Starting point is 01:02:54 and then I dropped out to study maths. I was always like really good with numbers and mathematics. But, I reckon if I wasn't doing stand-up I'd have stayed in the bar game.
Starting point is 01:03:02 So it's not, this question to me is not like unfeasible. If comedy went away I'd probably want to run a bar and if I wasn't doing stand-up, I'd have stayed in the bar game. So it's not, this question to me is not like unfeasible. If comedy went away, I'd probably want to run a bar. And if I could pick anywhere in the world, NYC, baby. New York. Yeah. I love the idea, but I want a beach.
Starting point is 01:03:17 I want a beach. My perfect bar's got a beach near it. Oh my God. Why don't we run the Hathaway bar chain? There's one in New York and there's one in LA. You've got your beach. I've got my city. You run the LA branch.
Starting point is 01:03:34 I run the New York branch. We've still got the podcast. I think we've smashed it. No, I'd like, can I change mine from LA to Cricketh in North Wales? Just because it's... I have a word, pub crawl from New York City to Real Song Centre.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Just because I went there as a kid loads and me and Laura were talking about it. She was like, I know we might not get abroad this year, but can we go to North Wales? And I know we went to Anglesey last year, but you know,
Starting point is 01:04:00 I'd love to do Cricketh. I was like, well, it's amazing. There's a Cadwallad. It's where I spent a lot of time as a child. I would love a bar chain as well. I was like, well, it's amazing. There's a Cadwallad. It's where I spent a lot of time as a child. I would love a bar chain as well. They had two locations. New York City. Manhattan.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Cricketh, northwest. No, I'd like a beach. I'd like to be one of them beach bums. But not somewhere country or 18 to 30s or like loads of pillards who love themselves just a little bit more you know i'm a proper sissy boy me like i love a holiday to a beach where i get bored of it i love a city i love bars i love a i love an underground comedy club and new york city is just my dream to live in new york for a year or two is a big part of like like you know like people
Starting point is 01:04:43 visualize their future and shit that's a big part of it for me when I went to New Zealand I have to say this I mentioned New Zealand before of all the places I've ever been and fucking loved Brighton I mean Brighton has always I love Brighton it's such a great place to go and do comedy
Starting point is 01:04:59 such a great place to go and have a booze but Wellington in New Zealand which is on the very southern tip of the North Island in New Zealand. I know I was calling them fucking distant paedophiles before, but genuinely. A bit nonsense. A really good bar in the middle of, is it Cuba Street?
Starting point is 01:05:19 What the fuck is it called in Wellington? But if you did comedy as well, just comedy just once, one night a week. So it didn't get samey. I'd love that. New York City maybe? Yeah, that's fine. Where's better to do comedy than... No, I'm not saying Wellington's better to do comedy from
Starting point is 01:05:36 New York City, but anyway. You're trying to pick a different answer, aren't you? Yeah, yeah. I'm not going to move next door to you and piss you off. That was a great one. That was a Graham. That was a fucking good one. Tammy in Darlington says, post Tiger King question.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Well, I watched it all. Adam watched a bit of it. It's been a massive hit. It's got to the point now where so many people, if you were like, you said you were going to talk about Tiger King. Well, go to every other website, social media or podcast and they talked about it for you
Starting point is 01:06:07 because it really got fucking hammered. What zoo animal would you most like as a pet? If you were allowed an animal to just fucking keep, no regulations, no laws, they're like, yeah, Adam's not really meant to have this but he's got special dispensation from the council I feel like based on past episodes people are going to expect me to pick
Starting point is 01:06:32 a lion and call it Thunder because obviously I said I'd like to ride a lion called Thunder Round but genuinely since I've been a very small child I've wanted a pet monkey. I've always wanted a pet monkey. Like a little fucking... Not like a chimpanzee,
Starting point is 01:06:58 like massive. I mean a little. You know the little ones that you see in like a... Like a little fun... Like a fun monkey. What are they called? Those a fun... Like a... What are they called? Those little fun monkeys. A bonobo. A bonobo monkey. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:12 There's no better phrase to say in a Geordie accent, by the way. A bonobo monkey. Bonobo monkey. Day nine. Adam's in the garden with his renewable money. By the way, can I just tell you this? Because it's not going to happen now. I emailed the agent of the guy who does the voiceover for Big Brother.
Starting point is 01:07:36 And he said, fuck off. No, they literally said he will do it. But it'll have to be after the COVID-19 shutdown because he doesn't have the facilities to record voiceover at home. Sorry. The guy, the guy that's made his money going, D-19,
Starting point is 01:07:53 didn't want to spend some of those thousands of pounds that he's made from Channel 4 over the years and buy a fucking podcast studio for his, like, spare room. Yeah, he didn't do it. Or we would literally have people go. Do you know what though, Adam?
Starting point is 01:08:07 We would have him introducing our features. We would literally have him now going, it's time for Have a Word with Adam and Dan. Send us all the problems that you have
Starting point is 01:08:16 with your friends. Is he Jamaican? Anyway, I, one of my favourite things about the shutdown. I know. I'm adding Jamaican
Starting point is 01:08:24 to my list. Yeah, okay, cool. I think you've already nailed it. I can't believe we still haven't got to that. I'm adding Jamaican to my list. Yeah, okay, cool. I think you've already nailed it. I can't believe we still haven't got to that. We're an hour and five minutes in. This is a fucking marathon of an episode. We're closing with the accents. One of my favourite things about the shutdown,
Starting point is 01:08:37 I know people are dying. I know you're worried about Nana and I know people have lost work. We're there as well. If we can laugh about it you fucking can but the fact that we had all of this kit anyway really makes me happy the guy from fucking big brother the voice of a guy dear name in the big brother house hadn't even bothered to set up a fucking mic and we've had this shit for months
Starting point is 01:09:02 love it got a message from a comedian god your videos look good online i was like yeah they do because we bought the kit fucking ages ago everyone else is just putting their zoom videos out what are you doing we've got external cameras set up mate fucking 1080p don't play the game i like otters i really do i think otters I really do I think otters are just so fun Have you seen Michelle Wolfe's comedy special? What? Do you know of a comic called Michelle Wolfe?
Starting point is 01:09:32 I've heard of Michelle Wolfe, I've not seen her comedy special She's got a special on Netflix called Joke Thief No, The Joke Show Sorry I feel like a Freudian accusation Lad, I'm a fucking bad reason the joke show it's phenomenal and
Starting point is 01:09:49 it's start and routine is about the fact she likes authors and it's so fucking good I know we did my top five today I think I mentioned it in my honorable mentions but anyone listening if you're looking for a comedy special to go and watch before mine comes out
Starting point is 01:10:04 go and watch Michelle Wolfe, The Joke Show on Netflix. It's so... She's got an otter bit. Huh? She's got an otter bit. Oh, she's got a 10-minute otter bit. Touche.
Starting point is 01:10:19 My oldest joke in my set is my cheese bit. And it's not the best bit of material i've ever written and i still have it in my set because part of it is like i've got a cheese bit that i can end on and i really like that i just it makes me happy if you've got a 10 minute otter bit i think the best routine i've ever written is my victoria secret routine it's my favorite routine I've ever put together myself and I'm about to burn it on the comedy special that's coming out
Starting point is 01:10:50 in a week or two whenever I've got the days I'll let you all know it's gonna be the closing routine on that it feels like I'm proper just letting me baby free, it's the first routine that I've watched and gone if I'd seen a comic do that I'd really enjoy
Starting point is 01:11:05 watching it. My equivalent to that is Niggett McChuckins. Your Niggett McChuckins routine is genuinely, and I'm not just saying this because we're now friends and business partners and podcast co-hosts. Me and my best
Starting point is 01:11:21 mate Carl, who gets mentioned fucking all the time now, Carl we come and watch your Edinburgh show I don't know what one it was, is it the Jackdome that you do in Edinburgh? Yeah it was 2014 Yeah 2014
Starting point is 01:11:38 the show about the nine girls trying his best not to be a dick and we come and watch that and the niggat mcjuckins routine we've quoted to each other for six years then we still quote that to each other it's
Starting point is 01:11:53 it's so funny it's is that online anywhere a version of it is yeah I think on my youtube oh no I took it down I took it down i've took it down because in my head i was like i might have a little rejiggle of this do you know what's
Starting point is 01:12:10 funny so if you've never heard this this must be frustrating because you're like what is the bit i got absolutely pie-eyed in york my best mate bondy lived in york and we went into a mcdonald's two in the morning it's absolutely fucking heaving. Just loads of drunk people. And then this kid came in who was the most drunk. He was so fucking drunk. And how drunk he was was drawing the attention of everyone else in the McDonald's. And everyone was a bit pissed. And he was different level pissed.
Starting point is 01:12:37 And he, drunk, accidentally, really loudly ordered six niggit McChuckins. And I started going, hey, did you just order niggit? Niggit McChuckins? And I started doing the Chris... Because I love Chris Rock and Kevin Hart and Bernie Mac, I started going, niggit what? Niggit... Now, it's very important that you're hearing the T there.
Starting point is 01:13:04 It's niggit, as in chicken McNugget, niggat McChuckins. That's why it's funny. It's just a mistake. It's funny because it was nearly a hate crime. And I started shouting, niggat, niggat, please. Honestly, cry your eyes out, piss your pants, funny stand-up. It's so so so fucking good
Starting point is 01:13:28 and me and Carl to this day we'll quote that bit if we're both in a nice house on a nice house and we go to Machi's at the end of it and he'll be like where you getting them I'm getting 20 nigger McJuggers do you know the story you obviously milk it and you develop
Starting point is 01:13:44 bits of it and everything but basically the bouncer came over and threw me out for being racist because i was shouting niggard word niggard please and i i wasn't trying to be hateful i just i would just thought it was so funny that a drunk kid had accidentally ordered niggard mcchuckins instead of chicken mcnuggets uh i got thrown out and my Bondi, who again gets talked about on this one, I've never been thrown out of anywhere. I'm such a wuss. I've been thrown out once maybe on a college do when I dropped a pint.
Starting point is 01:14:12 But I'm such a wuss and I never, ever go aggressive. But I got thrown out. He grabbed me and he went, we do not accept racism in McDonald's. And he threw me out. And I was, it's upsetting. Like I've never been called racist before it's horrible and in the in the joke I was like I don't know how racists do it it feels awful it was hard to say you've never been called racist before when you look like you
Starting point is 01:14:38 yeah yeah you do look like a leave voting paid up member I I remember I remember the memory you know when something's happened to you and it'll pierce through all the alcohol and all the time and you're saying to me like what was do you remember like all those years clubbing I'm like it sort of faded really I can remember being outside the McDonald's about
Starting point is 01:14:59 six seven years ago and seeing Bondi try and work out where I was, because the dumb fucking idiot hadn't seen me get thrown out for racism, he'd literally been stood next, this is how pissed we were, he'd been stood next to me, he'd been laughing at the niggit McChuckin guy, and had missed two bounces, not one, two bounces, fucking basically me getting me in an armbar and throwing me out, how do you even fucking miss that when you stood next to me, and I remember being outside and looking at him, I was
Starting point is 01:15:29 like, you fucking drunk moron, I can see you looking for me, you dumb twat, and then these three young black kids came up to me, who'd been in the McDonald's, and I never put this in the story, because it wasn't funny, it was just depressing, and they came up to me, and it had been them that had heard me say it, and complained to the bouncer, and this kid came up to me, he was about 23, 24, I was about 33 at the time, he went, you never use that word man, and I was like, drunkenly, I was like, oh this is awful, he went, you never fucking use that word, and I went, can I tell you what happened, he went, no man, you never, you do, you never never fucking use that word and i went can i tell you what happened he went nah man you never you do you never get to use that word i went and i nearly went i'm a big chris rock i said niggas and he went mate i should fucking drop you where you stand and i was like yeah fair
Starting point is 01:16:22 one i deserve it i know why you think you should do that to me but there's a very important tea that you're missing in the banter one of the worst fucking moments and and bondy bondy came out and went where the fuck were you you know like drunk you're drunk mate were you like where were you where the fuck were you mate i was getting fucking thrown out for being racist and nearly got banged out by a group of fucking lads who were rightly pissed
Starting point is 01:16:49 if I'd have got knocked out in my head I'd have been like yep my fault three black lads attacked a white guy in York last week did you hear about it yeah and the white guy says
Starting point is 01:17:00 my bad absolutely my bad fully deserved it lad you need to find the footage of that i'll subtitle it for you i'll do it for you i'll do all the subtitles and put it out because that routine because you don't really do that anymore do you you don't do it i haven't done it for years exactly so that that routine not being online is such a waste of gold material. Get the podcast more listeners.
Starting point is 01:17:27 That routine. I know, but in my head, I want to bring it back and I want to record it properly because I had it recorded at a gig in Leeds and it was fine. The recording's fine, but it's not brilliant. The weird thing is with material, and you know this, sometimes you've got to tune it up. It's like a fucking race car engine.
Starting point is 01:17:42 You've got to tune it up and it doesn't just, you don't just bring it out of the drawer and it's perfect one of the members of the frog the frog staff asked to see it about four months ago and it was amazing because they were like so we've been talking about that bit niggit mcchuckin still people still message me sometimes and go mate i fucking love niggit mcchuckins and liam the manager of the Frog shout out to Liam he's a fucking ledge he was like oh we were telling he's such a miserable legend but he's brilliant he's Danny Mac if Danny didn't
Starting point is 01:18:12 do comedy he's so he's such a good guy and he was like oh I was telling so and so about Niggett McChuckins and they want to see it will you do it tonight I was like oh it's been such a long time I was telling so and so about nigger chuckins and they want to see it will you do it tonight I was like oh it's been such a long time I was like tell you what
Starting point is 01:18:27 it's hard to just whip an old routine out isn't it I kind of knew it and I was like I'll do it I'll do it even if it's an abridged version I'll do it so Beat the Frog it's about a 5-6 minute story I did a quicker story sometimes I do 5 minutes the first act hadn't done so great
Starting point is 01:18:44 so I needed to do some material it worked out well i did the whole niggat mccracken's material it went really well in the room not as tuned as it used to be also five three four years later racism has as really fucking reared its nasty head and a lot of younger audiences like not as comfortable and you're like yeah a joke suits its time or whatever the guy who i was bringing on i'd never met him before classic beat the frog was a fucking black guy it it was one of the most awkward handshakes i've ever done as a compare bringing a comedian on stage. It looked like, it looked like I had, out of nowhere,
Starting point is 01:19:29 looked to the line-up, looked who's on and go, oh, he's black. I'll do that Niggy McChuckins thing before I bring him on. I can't remember his name. He walked on and everyone was laughing.
Starting point is 01:19:44 He went, yeah, how you doing man you're all right yeah yeah it's nice to see dan first first time i've seen him since that fucking since that mcdonald's in york you know the victoria's secret routine i mentioned before for those who haven't seen it and you'll see it on the special that's going to come out soon it it's all the the routine is is it's a composite of fat phobia and transphobia. People who are transphobic and fat phobic. And I did the Frog and Bucket
Starting point is 01:20:12 maybe six, nine months ago now. And on the I was headlining the whole weekend. No. I was opening the whole weekend. I was also at the Comedy Store the same night in Manchester. On the Thursday, I opened, they had a middle act
Starting point is 01:20:29 and they had a different close there. And then the Friday and Saturday, there's a comic who is transgender called Bethany Black. And the compere had seen my routine on the Thursday. And I won't name the compere, but the compere went, ooh, I watched you last night and that Victoria's Secret routine is great but are you going to do that tonight when Beth's
Starting point is 01:20:50 on and I went of course I am and he went are you sure and I was like yeah because if I wouldn't do that routine in front of someone who is transgender I shouldn't be doing it at all and when I come off Beth was like that routine is amazing because it's not transphobic it it talks about transgenderism but that that
Starting point is 01:21:10 it annoys me that there's there's comedians in who are getting booked who don't understand the difference between transphobia and a joke about being trans no it's like they're very very very different things it's like audience members comedians and promoters who don't know the difference between talking about race and racism being racist yeah yeah so because so if you can't listen to this podcast and go oh my god if you listen to us being dicks about race of course you're playing with the acceptability of race of of stereotypes, of junk. A comedian's job is to make people laugh. I shouldn't be doing jokes that you can hear from the footquit at the pub. That's not my job.
Starting point is 01:21:54 That's the job of the footquit at the pub, right? Comedians' jokes are to find where the line is of political correctness, acceptability, right and wrong, and then navigate where you can push funny before it becomes unacceptable. Not for every comic, but for a lot of comics, that sort of our job is to push that line, and that's our job.
Starting point is 01:22:16 And if you can listen to this guy, I think when they say that the MP for Scalmadel is Chinese and they're working a takeaway, that's just a hate crime, fam. Come on. I'm so glad you mentioned the line because here's my attitude towards comedy, right? What I'm trying to do
Starting point is 01:22:33 is dance along the line. That's literally what I'm trying to do with my stand-up. I want to be on the line and dancing on it. When you dance on the line, occasionally one of your feet is going to go on the wrong side of it. And that's okay. It's okay for one of your feet to go on the wrong side of the line.
Starting point is 01:22:51 As long as you go, do you know what? I really didn't mean to put my foot on that side of the line. I'm aiming for the line and the left-hand side of it. As long as you're nudging the line. As long as your foot's just nudging towards the line. You know? As long as you don't sit down I don't want to be
Starting point is 01:23:08 on the line I don't want to be towards it I want to be on it I want to be oh you can't touch me dance like nobody's tweeting so yeah Otter I need a piss
Starting point is 01:23:27 give me two seconds oh jeez you can fill he's going for a wee so Dan's gone for a wee ladies and gentlemen so I think the thing for me today was to try and fill some time it's very hard to be put on the spot to do that
Starting point is 01:23:48 what we're going to do when he comes back is we're going to have a word from our sponsors and then we're going to do our accent off and impression off which you guys have demanded someone messaged us a while back and said you should do it because we obviously do a lot of scrupulous accents and impressions on this back and said you should do it, because we obviously do a lot of scrupulous accents and
Starting point is 01:24:05 impressions on this podcast. Someone said you should try and do an accent impression off, and we'll vote on who we think is the best at doing accents and impressions. Do us a favour. Look, he's gone to toilet here. Regardless of how this goes, and I've got a feeling he might be slightly better than me at this shit. Just
Starting point is 01:24:21 vote for me. It'd be really funny if, like, if we're just, like, if we're just like, if we're almost as good as each other or he's slightly better, but the vote is like 90% me and 10% him. The vote will be done on Twitter. Go away, girl.
