is this? Lem Sip Max Strength.
I need this to kick in.
You're in the time now.
I feel a little jaded.
I feel a little bit coffee, a little bit sore, you know?
I woke up at midnight for the pool last night and I thought it was 6am.
Midnight shit.
Went to bed at 10.
At 10 past 12. I didn't check the phone.
I had to go straight to the
toilet and have a cut. And you thought it was morning. And I was like, right, I might
as well just stay up now because I'm in pain and like trying to sleep like this. Like I
was, it was bad. Yeah. And then I checked my phone on the way into bed and it was a
10 past 12. Right. I've been asleep for two hours. That meant I had seven hours of Kip
left.
Nice.
It's the best feeling in the entire world.
I hate the way it's light at like 4am, although that confuses me.
Why didn't you close your curtains?
I do, but you know, it still comes through. I've got shutters.
It's really hard telling kids to go to bed when there's still sunshine.
It's not even daytime.
Especially for me, because I'm a rock kid.
It's really difficult.
Don't listen to me.
Can we go back to our house?
No, no you can't.
You live here now.
Can you not explain what daylight saving is to Jack?
Yeah, he loves all that chat.
He loves all that chat.
He'd understand it then, wouldn't he?
Yeah, he would, yeah.
You'd be like, listen, it was Benjamin Franklin, I think.
Did he bring it in?
Am I right there, Harry?
I thought it was the farmers.
On behalf of the farmers, I think it was Benjamin Franklin.
But in America? Yeah, sure on behalf of The Farmers, I think it was Benjamin Franklin.
In America?
Yeah, she already came up with David Southerns.
This is National Treasure again, isn't it?
Yeah.
Carl's National Treasure based facts.
Keep coming at the moment.
I get all my historical knowledge from National Treasure one and two.
Is that Nick Cage?
Yeah, it's one of the best films that's ever been made.
It might be the best sequel of all time, you know. It's the best Disney film ever Yeah. It's one of the best films that's ever been made. And it might be the best sequel of all time, you know.
It's the best Disney film ever made.
It's Disney.
Shut the front door.
No, open the front door again.
Better than Toy Story?
Yeah.
Now, National Treasure.
It is fucking phenomenal.
What?
Be objective.
What?
Be objective about the film.
No, it's never gonna be.
I love Toy Story, maybe not above Toy Story,
but number two. And National Treasure 2, third. What's this? Is objective about the film. No, he's never gonna be. I love Toy Story, maybe not above Toy Story, but number two.
And National Treasure Tuesday.
What's this?
Is this a little film club thing?
Yeah, he's got too much heart.
I love what I love.
I don't love fucking whatever you love,
like French films about fucking astronauts.
I don't know.
There's the other great Disney films.
I love Lust Base.
Benjamin...
Early on the nose.
Yeah.
Verse space. Go on. face. Benjamin Franklin made an early suggestion about adjusting time but they ignored him for 150 years. So William Willett. Oh Willie Willett? Was he American or was he... I don't
actually know where he was from. He looks, he looks very... Can't be calling yourself Willie Willie, mate.
No.
I need an abridged version of this from a four year old.
He's from Farnham.
England.
Down south.
Yeah.
Isn't there an air show there?
But yeah, national, have you seen it, Dan?
Oh, one and two.
Can't wait for three.
It's in the works.
So he's one of the hosts.
Because Disney know where they make their money,
don't they? National treasure.
They're doing a fourth one with the original money, don't they? National Treasure.
They're doing a fourth one with the original cast, aren't they?
Fuck off.
Yeah.
There's a new one coming out with the original cast.
It's got Fast and Furious vibes all over it.
They'll just keep going.
You're laughing.
I don't know.
It's genuinely incredible.
National Treasure, Tokyo Drift.
Do you know the,
do you know the like synopsis of National Treasure?
Can I guess it?
No.
Yeah, I don't think you could.
Let him guess it.
Okay.
This is one, go.
I've not seen it either, Dan.
There's something, you'd love it as well.
I don't know how Disney are making all this money.
Honestly, Phil, how do you see it?
I don't know, I've never seen the second one.
In my head it's not in New Zealand.
Here's my guess, there's something gold
that Nick Cage has got to get,
and he's in love or has a bit of a accomplice who's Hispanic?
No.
Hell.
Is that a young joke?
You're half right.
Two of them are really wrong.
Two of them are right.
Right.
It was Nicholas Cage.
I don't think any of it's wrong.
Well, there's nothing gold and no one's Hispanic.
There's loads of gold.
There's loads of Hispanics.
You're telling me there isn't an Hispanic person
in National Treasure.
Oh, yeah, I suppose, but like...
LAUGHTER
But it's the last five minutes of the film.
No Kane and Citizen Kane.
So get on this, right, because if you haven't seen it...
Spoilers.
Right? Where have you been, though?
Oh, you're going to love this, by the way.
So film opens, yeah, starts.
Oh my god, this is a long, get this, isn't it?
Film opens, first credits, deeply.
And it's a little kid and you don't know this at the time.
Hispanic?
No.
Oh, it's Nicolas Cage as a kid.
It's Nicolas Cage as a kid.
But it doesn't say that, like it doesn't come up on the screen.
I thought he was raised Hispanic anyway, go on.
So it is granddad tells him this, like in the loft.
They're in the loft.
It's like a legend, like a myth about.
There's thunder outside.
Yeah.
Is that thunder?
The lost treasure of the Mayans.
Something like that, yeah.
Something like that.
I'm sorry, what?
The Mayans?
Where were they?
South America? No, not Mayans, the Masons. Yeah, the like that. I'm sorry, what? The Mayans? Where were they? South America?
No, not Mayans, the Masons.
Yeah, the Masons.
Sorry, yeah.
So it's a Masonic lost treasure, right?
Right, yeah, yeah.
So the founding fathers of America were like,
this is too much treasure, this,
for one man to ever have.
So we'll give a clue to every single founding father,
and they'd all have to come together
in order to find a treasure.
Jefferson's was daylight saving times.
Yeah, but that is linked to it.
You're not wrong. Oh, wow.
Yeah. Wow.
But they hide the clues within a clue within the Declaration of Independence.
Yeah. Oh, so the Declaration of Independence is a riddle.
And Ben Franklin made some special glasses and you can't read the Declaration
of Independence properly without the Franklin glasses.
So he has to go to Philadelphia
to find the Franklin glasses.
With the Bell of Tolls.
But then they're an hour early,
but they're not an hour early.
The Bell of Passam Bell.
Yeah, Passam Stowe.
And, but by the way,
while he's trying to do all of this.
The Declaration of Independence.
Oh yeah, I know, wait, wait, wait.
The Declaration of Independence is a treasure map.
Yeah, on the back.
I'm already in, by the way.
You see they have to steal it.
On the back, but while this is happening, Sean Beans following them, trying to kill them. Yeah, I'm already in by the way. You see they have to steal it. On the back, but while this is happening,
Sean Bean's following them trying to kill them.
Great, great.
Is he doing an accent?
In the face.
Hispanic.
In the face, sort of half hour of the film,
Sean Bean's a good guy.
But then he turns on a tuppence.
And he tries to blow them up.
He tries to blow them up in a boat in Antarctica.
No one expected tuppence this early on.
We got it.
So anyway, Sean being the bad guy,
he's always a step behind them, but he's following them.
There's a fit woman who works defending
the Declaration of Independence.
Nick Cage tries to goose her while he's looking for a mask.
Do I have to ask again?
Where's she from?
She's American.
I know she's not, she's like German, isn't she?
Yeah, German American. I know she's not, she's like German isn't she? Yeah.
German American.
Yeah.
And she has got a collection of buttons.
But there's one missing.
She's German American autistic.
No it's coins.
Coins.
Oh it's coins.
But there's one.
Do you not know the difference between buttons and coins?
But there's one missing from her collection.
Guess who's got it?
One of those cage.
Oh, Nicholas Cage, whose granddad gave it to him in a lost.
Hang on, my dad's got all the clues here.
He goes to see his dad,
his dad's given them all away.
Not bad.
Because his dad had given up on the treasure long ago.
He thinks his son's running a fool's errand.
So all this culminates about an hour in
and Nicholas Cage goes,
this is a famous line, I'm going to steal a declaration of independence.
The telephone goes, whoa!
Not that famous.
No, it is.
Because I've never heard it.
That's quite a thing.
I've heard that line.
Yeah, that's a famous line.
That's like this film's You Can't Handle the Truth.
Yeah.
You can't handle the declaration of independence.
You can't do that. What are you doing?
But Nicholas Cage is my generational genius where he can do whatever he wants and it always
works. Yeah. Yeah. Don't get me wrong. There's obstacles along the way. And high jinks and
obstacles along the way. One of them is he walks out to the museum, the Declaration of
Independence and someone grabs him and goes, where do you got him with that? Hang on, hang obstacles along the way. One of them is he walks out to the Museum of the Declaration of Independence
and someone grabs him and goes where do you got him with that? Hang on, hang on, hang on. Surely
you're cutting stuff out there. Yes. So there's hijinks and you know there's difficulties. So
he's walking out. No we're not going to spoil that. Oh course. Anyway he goes give me that. What are
you doing? And he goes all right take it. He's bought a replica in the shop, so he's got two.
So the man's got a fake one.
John being it's told.
Classic.
And in the end.
Anyway, fish bash bosh, they end up in New York
and there's billions of pounds worth of treasure
under the church.
Under the Trinity church.
Under a church.
But they've got to go through Indiana Jones style tasks.
Oh, because the church is booby trapped.
Yeah, because it was built by the Masons. Do you know who's buried at Trinity Church as well? Go on. Alexander Hamilton.
He's not involved. They're buried at Trinity Church near you. That thing. The first ever
American secretary of the treasury, the treasury. Ah, national treasure. So that's what you
meant. That's what you're emphasizing it. It ends, not open-ended.
Sean Bean gets arrested, Bish Bash Bosch.
National Treasure 2.
By the way, guys, never pitch a film to a movie studio,
because you rely on Bish Bash Bosch way too much.
Night Terrorist, hero, Bish Bash Bosch, I'll start it.
National Treasure 2 opens with one of the previous guys.
We did the whole of the second film. He's rich. He's got a Ferrari.
He's got the money from the Masons. Yeah.
Hi, Jinx. Hi, Jinx.
No, and then the guy at the end of the first one, you find out that
so it was worth 12 bill is Clint Eastwood in this one. No.
But I know you mean the president. Yeah. He looks a bit Clint Eastwood in this one? No. But I know who you mean.
The president.
He looks a bit Clint Eastwood.
We'll get to that in a minute.
At the end of National Treasure One,
they found out the treasure's worth 12 bill.
They offer Nicholas Cage 10% of it,
and he says, no, I want less than that.
Because this treasure belongs to humanity, not to me.
I'll take eight percent.
It takes 1%, which is still generational wealth.
In the second one, he kidnaps the president as well
and gets away with it.
No, but there's, there's bishes and boshes
and boshes before that though.
So basically, and they reckon this is true as well, by the way.
Do you know what the president's secret book is?
We said that last week.
Do you know what it is?
No.
So if you get elected president one day, right, there's a little
black book, right, and every president gets given it, right, and anything that's like... Super secret.
Super secret. Roswell, JFK. They don't do it in files, they do it in a small black book.
So if someone comes in, like the First Lady, he can go, oh, there you go.
National Secrets.
No, no, no, no, no, it goes in the desk. We didn't say the desk.
The Residence Desk.
The desk's got mad locks in and like...
Social locks.
Yeah, but no one else can get to them.
And then they eventually store it at the Library of Congress.
In a secret cupboard that the librarians don't know about.
Literally. And then Nicholas Cage goes in, steals it, finds out the president's
chat and they're away. He kidnapped the president to be like, listen, Bish Bash Bosh needs your book,
there's a few secrets in here that I need to know. And the librarians are like, we don't even know where it is.
Yeah. And anyway, let's do it with Mount Rushmore as well, isn't it?
Hijinks. I think they pull Lincoln's head off and inside that is more treasure.
Do they? Yeah. hijinks. I think they pull like Lincoln's head off and inside that is more. That's the sexy.
Honestly, it's phenomenal. My only note is could do with more Hispanics, but I like it. That's my
weekend. So it's number two, the German birdies knobbing in the first one. Oh yeah. Sally buttons.
They're going through a divorce and she's dating Phil from Modern
Family for a bit. But he works in the Washington, the White House. Yeah. So he uses that connection
to get to the desk, find a book. She loses an eating and they're looking. What's the
jeopardy again? For all the bish bash of bosh I can't remember. I'd have to watch it again.
Right. Yeah. It's more about the journey, innit?
Buttons and desks. National treasure, and the second one's called
National Treasure Two, Book of Secrets.
Ooh.
So they're still in the book,
or is the book like the Declaration of Independence?
No, they need the book, because in the book is...
Like a word, or like a cipher or something, right?
Yeah. Some sort of info. It's the eagle in word or like a cipher or something.
Yeah.
Some sort of info.
It's the eagle in the thing, you know?
Eagle and scroll.
Which is the Mexican flag.
Yeah.
There is Hispanics.
Did you last watch this when you were...
I watched this about three weeks ago.
I watch it every three weeks.
I do watch it multiple times.
I haven't watched it for two years thinking I also can't
wait to go home late and say to Sarah, I'll watch it National Treasure and she will agree.
And it's a Disney film. It's clean. Kids can watch it. There's no swearing or like, you
know, there's mild PG pedal. Oh yeah. Mild. Yeah. There's a gun. Mild threat. Yeah. But
not to scare the kids. No one gets their head blown off. Abraham Lincoln gets wanked off,
but that's, you know, that's camera angles and stuff.
But they learn things.
I learned things.
Some, yeah.
The Benjamin Franklin fact for starters.
If you had to reboot National Treasure in the UK,
what would you rob?
What's the most, like the crown jewels?
Magna Carta is an equivalent.
That's like big and long.
What is the Magna Carta?
Great people wear that in Covid. It's just the barons went, A, King John, you can't be like a
dictator king. Because before that, that's about 1216, before that a king could basically go,
you've really pissed me off, I'm going to kill you. And after that they were like, A.
Yeah, that's why people were quoting it during Covid, because they were like, hey... Yeah, that's why people were quoting it, Jordan Covey, because they were like, hey, the Magna Carta means that I can go to the park.
Yeah! It's not really why the barons of the 13th century came up with it.
They were like, one day, gentlemen, people will want to go to the park and have a spliff.
Yeah.
Let's get this down.
The American version of that is called...
I think that's our version.
I mean, we saw it... I mean, could you find them? It's just, there's a load of crown jewels. No, no, the crown
jewels are fucking impressive. Do you know what's difficult though is that there's travel
eaters on them. Yeah. So like you, we had to go around four times. Yeah. But I think
that it does, it's gotta be difficult for the film to feel. Yeah. It was just a fellow
on a travel agent in the British one would have to find the man who's in charge of the travel aid is because someone turns them on and off
every day. They're not burning lucky to the nice. Whoever turns them on, he probably has
to have a hip no limb. Wow. That's a tour. No, he's got to be, but he's a generational
genius and everything works. Of course. He's a good clue solver. He's like, have you seen Sherlock? When Sherlock looks at you, he goes, hang on, it's in your pocket. Right. Stuff like that, he's clever.
Nick Cage plays Derren Brown hunting for Masonic's treasure. That's all we needed. Now I mean.
Like if you say a clue to him, he's like, oh, that means it's in the pocket of the well.
No, he always gets it wrong initially, doesn't he? He's like, well, I mean this and then he goes no
No
He's like this is like dead in the debate and I was like what and then he's right
Watch it with letter. I love it. I'll watch it in the second one. The bad guys got a really bad southern accents as well
Who's who plays the bad guy?
The guy from Homeland, the man in black, the man with the black hat.
You know what I mean?
Right.
The black man?
He's not in Homeland.
Not Homeland, sorry.
Westworld.
Ed Harris.
Westworld, he's in.
Like my great great great granddaddy, he know about the place too and I'm gonna find that
treasure and clear my family name.
You killed my daddy, killed Abraham Lincoln.
Oh, that's why he's doing it in number two.
Because Ed Harris, the bad guy,
accuses Thomas Gates, who's Nicolas Cage's granddad.
Of lying.
Of lying and being a bad fella.
The bov'ed daddy.
Yeah, so he's fine.
He kidnaps the president to prove
that his granddad was sound.
Didn't lie. Baa! Mow and grin, papi. Rob's that he kidnaps the president to prove that his granddad was sound.
Bair.
Meryl Graham Pepe.
It's like my old granddaddy, you said he killed Abraham Lincoln. And he's like, you never and then they have, you know,
It's sort of the opposite of the first one, because in the first one,
Sean born is a good guy, then a bad guy.
We're still doing.
And in the second one, Ed Harris is a bad guy.
But then at the end, it's like he saves the day. Don't
he? Oh, yeah. At the end, he throw water on rocks. Yeah. Can
you get him on film club? I think he really wants to do
National Treasure one and two. We need to get John Gannon as
well. Armageddon and what's that one with the pedophile? The
news, your dad's home video. What is the one you love? Have your father's day.
Why would you make a video call?
Is there a Tom Cruise one you love or something?
There's one film you've got.
Oh, A Few Good Men?
Yeah.
What's that one about the fella that diddles the kids and then the kids grow up and batten?
Oh, Sleepers.
Yeah.
Maybe we have to do a bumper episode.
No, you can't even do one.
What do you mean?
You would switch off so fast in film club.
Why?
He's just done it for about 12 minutes. What do you mean I suppose if you loved him you wouldn't. Why would I? This reputation I've got I've not
been able to concentrate on my head and you know like just make your podcast interesting and I'll
be up for it. Well we've already done that so that's good. There you go. So you pick Sleepers and
Armageddon. And a few good men. We're doing a bumping episode apparently.
And a few good men. We're doing a bumping episode apparently.
Is that your go-to make you feel happy?
Like sleepers?
I wank.
No, no.
Whenever I'm feeling sad and like the world's a bad place, I put sleepers on.
At least I didn't get nonced.
Never seen change, Ling?
Is that with?
Angelina Jolie.
Oh yeah.
That's a sad one. Angelina Jolie? Kids dying
that as well. Oh well thanks for bringing it up. How's she doing old Joles? Yeah how's
she doing? I haven't spoken to her for a while. Have you? You're not caught with her recently.
Joles? Angelina Jolie. She's beautiful but mental isn't she? Why is she mental? I don't know. She's
not with Peter. No she cut her tits off because she had cancer.
She wasn't mental.
No, she cut it off to stop herself getting cancer.
Yeah.
Right.
Oh, I thought you were saying she's mental.
She's not like Britney Spears,
but she shaved her tits off.
She didn't shave her tits off.
Was that also for cancer?
Just preempting it?
Didn't she have it?
And they cured it,
and then they were like,
but it could come back, and she was like, right, well.
No, she had a high percentage of having it.
And she was like, right, if I get rid of them with it, and a high percentage of having it and she was like, right, if I get with it, then they were like, yes.
So she's like, right, to avoid it, I'll get a mastectomy, is it?
Yeah.
Get a mastectomy, which is a big thing for a woman, obviously. What have you Googled her?
Just Angelina Jolie. I was just seeing what she was up to.
What's she up to?
Not much.
Try not.
Because she's got 27 kids that she's shipped over.
Angolan's.
What? She's got Angolan kids, hasn't she?
I didn't just say Angolan.
Her and Madonna were the African adoptee sort of, but I think that's out of fashion now,
isn't it?
Are you allowed to do that if you're not famous?
They're like the French national team.
What, you've got to show your...
I'm a show-ly.
Show you that.
Got loads of Africans in the ranks.
You've got to show your Instagram followers before you can get a kid from Angola.
Like if I wanted to adopt, can I go,
oh, I want to go to Gambia.
I think it's doable.
I just, I think celebrities
who end up getting a lot of money,
get like this sort of white savior complex,
don't they, where they're like,
oh, I'm so privileged.
I should use that to go.
And if I can just change the life
of one child from Malawi, then that'll be great.
But then they do one and they're like,
we could do 27 of us, couldn't we?
And then, bitch bash boss,
you're getting divorced from Brad Pitt.
Skip to the end.
Maybe someone of you who's a bad guy that'd upset me.
What?
Brad Pitt.
What? It did come out.
Is he a bad guy?
Not in the creepy way, but that's why they
got divorced. What was he doing? Allegedly, he like strangled her on a plane. What was
she wearing though? That's the Sam Jackson film isn't it? Strangles on a plane. Sam Jackson?
I know him, I'm close to him. Is that true?
Yeah.
That's upsetting.
There's something about strangling someone on a plane.
Maybe it was his kid.
Jesus Christ.
I'm gonna Google this.
If we're gonna be libelous,
let's at least get the accusation right.
Yeah.
He's a lip kisser, isn't he?
Of his kids?
Yeah.
The kid.
The kid.
He choked his kid.
Choked his kid on a plane plane not at the same time as kissing
him i mean that's what laura loves by the way but not your angolan child
you can't do do say you cannot choke and kiss your angolan child on the plane please sit
down i'm not i'm not pulling him up but a stewardess will. Excuse me, can I have some nuts? And
that needs dealing with doesn't it?
Isn't he a lip kisser though like David Beckham?
How old was the kid that was getting lip kissed?
Not wrong with kissing your kids on the lips as long as you're not necking them.
No Tom Brady does like tongue, doesn't he?
Nah. Oh dear.
You've never seen that?
Oh I like him.
TV 12 mate, come on. He's not necking is he?
He's got a good arm on him.
No TV stands for mate. Tonguing babies or boys.
This is what's wrong with a lip kiss? Just kidding. No, like they were old enough
as in it. What if they're young babies, whatever. But like, I think it was like around like
10. Yeah. His kid was like 13 and he was like, you shouldn't be kissing. You're going in
all slow. No, no. Tom Brady. Listen, that's just what I've heard, he wanks his kids off. She's fine when they're 10.
Google Tom Brady.
But they were like, you know, 14.
When was your kid's kiss?
Yes, Google it.
But it's a thing, Beckham's the same,
he kisses his daughter on the lips.
Yeah.
No, it just looks like a dad having a nice time. He bet he was.
There's definitely videos called that by the way.
What did your dad do to you?
I think the Paul Skolls chewing off toenails might be the right thing.
It's generational.
One minute there's a picture of him getting off with his dad.
Yeah, there you go.
And he actually is getting off of him.
He's decking his dad.
Look at that.
That's just a hug.
He's just hugging and kissing his half, I'll tell you.
With his lips.
Just gives a hug with your lips.
Me and my dad are like, come here.
In the ball, Nellie.
I've missed you.
I just think it's weird to be lip kissing.
When I was younger, I...
Like, I was like six, seven.
Like, my mum would kiss me, like, like six, seven, like my mom would like kiss me like good night. And I thought
it was funny to like stick my tongue in and she had to sit me down and go, no, that's
not all right. But I didn't know. I thought I was just being like, but she had to be like,
no, you can't be tongue kissing your mom. Yeah. Yeah. I love that Harry has no filter before he says things.
Am I going to do that tongue kissing?
If I'm with my mum I'm going to bed, whatever, I can kiss her but it's on the cheek.
I was seven.
I'm not tongue kissing my mum now.
No you're not.
Flex.
Kiss your mother with that mouth.
Yeah, with tongues.
Eight! Maybe I was young, maybe I'm like five or six but I remember it. It was after my parents
had split up and she was lonely.
Oh so she was single?
I just remember her was in my new house.
This is a point where you stop talking.
No it was in my...
He was always lonely, you know, in the new house, I thought I'd
never be far bed that'll make it feel better. It was when we were in the new. Yeah. I remember
my mom going, that that's not like you don't do that to your mom. But like she can't tell
me off for it because it's just like me going on, but we're just dead close. I don't think
I've explained this well. I think you have. I don't think there's a well
way of explaining necking your mum. Never neck your mum, Dan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the
ear. She loved it. She had to tell me, come on, stop it. I remember going from being like
Joe and you're young and you're like, you always love your mum, but you tell your mum
you love her and you're like near her all the time and then you get to Joe and you're young and you're like, you always love your mum, but you tell your mum you love her and you're like near her all the time
and then you get to teenage and you fucking hate her.
Well, that's the thing.
And apparently that's the period of their life
where they wanna be anywhere but near you
and then they come back.
So the first 10, 12 years, it's all about parents
and then the opposite, it's all about friends.
It's all about independence.
And you've just got to ride that bit out until you go, you're all right. Yeah. As long as you sound like, like, like if I'm
sound enough to me kids, they're not going to want to be with the mates. Are they? I'll be there,
mate. That's the, what people get wrong is they still want to be a parent. Whereas in reality,
you're meant to be like, no, all right, be mates. So you're going to go down. Yeah. You're going to
go down the park with them. I know you want to hang out with your mates, I'll come as well. And I'm 40
so I can buy loads of booze. Come on, let's get some biffs.
This kid's eight. He's 32.
He's 33.
He's seven.
He's seven. Yeah, he's a kid, isn't he?
He's having a kid now as well.
Dad, can I have a gun? Yeah, of course. Have my mate. Let's go shooting together.
Yeah. I remember that period when mum was like, Oh, you know, as close to me as you
used to be like last year when I like sit on the couch. This was last year. No, she
said last year. Yeah. I was like, I don't know. I just want to be on my own. No, she's
like Shane Gillis bit about when his mum goes, when did we stop being best friends?
You're like, cause when you were a kid, you're every, every little boy, just the gay little
boy, gay little best friend.
Like, yeah, look mommy.
And then I just not leave me room.
And if she was shouting at me, I'd put the air dryer on.
You should do it.
I just sit in front of the door and put the air dryer on.
You're quite a naughty kid.
No, you don't strike me as a naughty, but like, I don't want to clean your room. I mean, if you're the door and put the air dryer on. Were you quite a naughty kid? No. You don't strike me as a naughty.
Not naughty, but like I don't want to clean your room.
I'm in it.
If you're in it and I'm not, I'll clean it for you.
But I'm in it and you're not.
So fuck off.
Cool.
Clean that room.
I'm not in it.
I can't see.
No.
Yeah, but teenage boys, there has to be some cleaning, don't there?
Yeah, there was every couple of months of cleaning.
Kyle did used to have a bit of a dump of a bedroom.
Yeah.
When like Jordan our sort of blossom and friendship I would go down to his to play FIFA and there
would be like several days worth of plates there sometimes.
My plates don't have any.
Well, they're air plates.
She's got no crockery downstairs.
That would happen.
Yeah.
Yeah, lads are pretty good. I wasn't like a bad, I wasn't a bad kid. I was just fucking downstairs. That would happen. Yeah. Yeah. Lads are pretty good.
I wasn't like a bad, it wasn't a bad kid. I was just fucking lazy. It's the lamb. You
clean your room now because you've got your own room. Haven't you? The side. I can't
make you clean your room. We know we shared a room. We have a back bedroom that I'll sleep
in if you know the UFC is on, but I clean both of the room. Oh, are you back in? Are
you back sharing beds? Yeah. All right. We've been a while now, yeah. OK, yeah, yeah.
You think you and Laura will ever do that?
Ever revert?
Ever have a shared room?
Who is most against it?
I think we're equally dead sound about not sharing a bedroom.
Because every sort of six months or a year we'll go,
oh, we should, shouldn't we? You know, cause of convention.
And then we try it and I fucking hate sleeping next to her.
She hates it.
She's in for a man of my size, isn't it?
Oh, we should, shouldn't we?
Cause of convention.
Comic-con.
It's horrible sleeping next to someone.
It's well better sleeping on your own.
No, it is really nice.
But they're just warm and snory and farty.
It's not just like sometimes in the middle of the night
when you wake up and you feel cold and alone
and you just put your hand on a bath.
I feel sweaty and pestered.
You ever woke up being cuddled?
What?
Sometimes she'll like, she'll go,
I'll get out of bed too and I'll cuddle him.
And then you wake up and you're like,
ah, it feels lovely.
Oh!
You've been woken up getting sucked off.
Oh, yeah, that's why I had to stop.
Because I just wasn't getting a proper night's sleep.
I had an absolute cock goblin and she wasn't even aware that she was doing it.
She sleep noses.
It's a real problem.
You're not going to wake them up, though are you?
Because if she wakes up with a cock in her mouth she's going to go mad.
She nearly choked her death.
Yeah, that's the problem. That's why we sleep separately.
She just loves noshing people off.
Like me, off.
Not people.
No, I hate it, I don't like it.
I love her, I love her.
I don't think we've ever been in a better spot recently.
Good.
With, you know, we're on a good run.
Thank you, Carl.
It's like a car dealership.
Yeah, talk me through it.
They ride cars every time you have sex?
Oh, nice, right, right.
I thought my sex life was like a car dealership.
Yeah, I thought you'd sold them a car.
You know, it's...
I thought there was a Freddie Quinn level of knowledge.
I thought there was...
You know, it was a bit of a banger.
It's had a few old, you know, owners,
but you've got it in, give it a bit of a banger. It's had a few old, you know, owners,
but you've got it in, give it a buff.
Who were the insides?
Graphic.
Was that Lorna?
Oh, please.
One of us.
But yeah, you said,
doing some car journeys.
Yeah, you know,
but the sleeping next to each other
isn't gonna wait that.
It does.
It does, because it gives more opportunity for to happen
less planned. Do you mean like at the minute you have to like in the day be like a fuck later
and she's like yeah or nah right whereas you cannot discuss that or she could be like nah and
then later that night you get in bed and your warm breath on it and she goes oh I'm dripping but then
she says yeah cool I thought we were in some ropey water no she says nah
but you know you just ignore it she loves it but yeah you know my warm
breath and this is a warm bit of the year and a warm breath on the earlobe
you can't win a raffle if you don't buy a Oh, she go, you get in bed and she's like,
I'm dead warm.
She's always warm.
Whatever time of the year.
You cold air on her neck, you go.
Love it.
And she goes, ooh.
Ooh.
She's fucking.
Ooh, my pussy's tingling there, Dan.
That's one of her lines.
Oh, man, let me sleep.
My pussy's tingling.
She gives off the same level of radioactiveness
as the fucking elephant's foot in Chernobyl.
You're hot.
I'm like that, I'm always hot, but she loves that.
Right.
She loves that you're always hot.
Yeah.
What do you do when it's this warm?
Do you detox?
She's gonna fan on her side of the bed,
I'm gonna fan on my side of the bed.
We have to wind them open with the shutters over
and the rooms just. Cause I think this weekend it's gonna get so warm, I'm taking the duvet side of the bed. We have the window open with the shutters over and the rooms. Because I think this weekend it's going to get so warm,
I'm taking the duvet out of the duvet cover
and just sleeping in the duvet cover.
I have the lowest tog all year.
Same.
4.5?
Whatever the lowest tog is, I have all year.
In the middle of winter.
Say again what you're going to sleep like.
Just take the duvet cover.
I just sleep in the duvet cover.
Yeah.
In the cover. When it's not in the cover. Oh, no. the duvet cover. Yeah. When it's not in
the cover. Oh no. I don't get in. I've got to have something on me. Yeah. For the monsters.
You're just basically sleeping under a bed sheet. Yeah. Yeah. That's mad. I reckon that's
too thin for the monsters. I think the monsters can get through that. Yeah. You need a throw
when the monsters come. They're like, oh, it's 4.5 tug.
Because they cock me monsters.
Right.
I get on my bed and then I cover a piece of my body with the duvet and go to sleep.
Like one leg.
Sometimes not even that. As long as it's there, I am usually just flat naked on the bed, like open.
I can't remember sleeping under the duvet
How big is your bed? You're flat open. She's fucking blowing in your ear. I've got a Cesar bed
Just like 12 foot wide
Right. All right. Well, there's a heatwave this weekend. So I'll get in bed with Laura
30 degrees on Saturday
Yeah, she'll love it. I'll just blow on her or something

So listen, I'm a busy woman.
You are?

Doing well. And I need a meal on
the go and that's when I turn to HUE and I love the black edition. Not only do you need
a meal on the go but you need that meal to fuel you properly with proteins and minerals.
Dan, what does the black edition have in it? Oh it has at least 35, well 35 grams of protein.
That's 35. And 26 vitamins and minerals.
And that's the kind of goodness that you need.
And also, man loves the flavour.
Man loves the flavour.
Chocolate, strawberry, banana.
Vanilla.
Not just strawberry, or not just banana,

Oh shit. Mixing it up. He's a maverick. Oh
fucking regal mate. He saves his convention for his marriage.
You know offered convention. You know some people come to
the point in their marriages where they want to open the marriage up but they leave a certain
the point in their marriages where they want to open the marriage up, but they leave a certain thing that's just for the marriage. Yeah. Pussy mouth. Hang on. How can you open
it up? You got it all level. You and Laura could open it up, but Laura be allowed to
go and get bummed, but she couldn't have vaginal intercourse. Cool. I'll just play this and
see what she says. Yeah, so open it up.
My mouth is full of marriage.
I'm quite keen on this because we don't do those together.
So maybe swinging is the option.
I could, for some reason, because I'm a perv,
the algorithm is really pushing pineapple lifestyle on me.
What's pineapple lifestyle?
It's not a code word for, you know what we use it for.
We're dancing and food and stuff.
It's pineapple life, it's swing culture.
Well, did you not show what the pampas grass is, Dan?
The pampas grass? Yeah, the plant.
Right. If you put it outside your house, it means you're a swinger.
Right. And if you can't get hold of that, you've got to swing.
It's just a little stick of a pineapple or all three.
If you're a dirty girl.
Is the pineapple that when you go to the shops,
if you've got a pineapple in your trolley, that's so people know.
Now you see, I think what's happened there is
that's a dangerous one, isn't it?
Because shops is where people buy pineapples.
I thought it was a so when someone just starts like touching someone's tit,
they're like, yeah, you're game for it. Look, you've got a pineapple there.
Is it not a sunflower land yard?
That's for disabled people to get onto an airplane quicker.
Right. Don't get them mixed up.
Fucking hell. That kid with headphones on this game.
He's got badges on it and everything. Come here. No, he's on it and everything.
Come here.
No, he's holding a pineapple, you know, woo.
If I was never going to get into swinging,
I wouldn't get into swinging.
Like I could say opening up a relationship.
I could see that, but I wouldn't want it.
Like the idea of me being in like going to some swinging party and I'm fucking bumming someone in the kitchen and me, me, me, Mrs. Is getting done
in the hallway. That's how I'd rather just be like, Hey, I'm going to go and fuck people.
You're going to go and fuck people. But I'd be like, when you go, I don't want to know.
Yeah. Oh, tell me you go in the cinema. But cook, cook, cook,

What you're selling out here, Wally, that the cinema.
She gets pounded at the pantry.
Do you remember what he just said?
I know, but he necks on with his mum.
What did he say? What did you say?
That's what the chair's for in a hotel room.
This is the cook chair.
Yeah, it's the cook chair.
I mean, the carolers, yeah.
I just think, yeah, but what are you holding back?
Because, you know, because obviously you'd be going out as a bull.
You know, an overconfident bull.
I think that's the terminology.
They're shy bulls.
Yeah, Ferdinand.
And then there's unicorns, bisexual women who want to be like an add on to the...
None of us got the Ferdinand reference.
What?
Is that an animated film?
Yeah, it's about a bull.
Called Anton.
Oh.
It's called Anton Ferdinand.
You know Robbie Williams got his life done and he was a monkey?
Anton Ferdinand had the same thing done.
He's a little bull.
When you say I'd be a bull, what's a bull in this context?
Oh, if someone turns up with a weapon and absolutely fucking pounds the wife
and the husband's like, oh God.
Are you liking that, love?
Yeah, no, I don't think I wanna.
You're a bull in a china shop, aren't you?
Yeah.
There you go.
So you have to smash everything.
Can do.
Can't see, well, you don't see yourself as that.
No, I don't think I'd want to go and fuck someone else's wife.
You know?
I don't think you're for swinging culture really are you?
I tell you what, I'm into the idea of swinging, but can we just stay at home you and me love
and just have sex here? Nice.
Swinging's fun isn't it? Lock the door.
If my wife came home and thought I'd kill myself on the spot
Even if I'd allowed it. Yeah, once again, probably not ready for cook all those swinging lifestyle. I know
It would set me. Are you cock for love?
You couldn't fuck it anymore
Would you want to stay together but she has needs she has needs don't she she's a real woman maybe yeah
needs, don't she? She's a real woman. Maybe, yeah. But you wouldn't want to know, would you?
No, I wouldn't want to know. If I couldn't do it physically because me cock had fell
off, God knows what happened there. I'm still fine, but me cock fell off.
Oh, but you don't want to know anything about it. So she's like...
As long as she's happy and... There's like a code word.
No. She's like, I'm off to play bingo.
No, because when she winks, I'm off to play bingo.
As in getting bingoed.
No, don't tell me anything.
Where is, like, when she's going off to get fucking Polax,
what's she saying to you?
She leaves the house now,
and I don't think she's getting Polaxed,
so just continue what you're doing
and slide the Polax in.
Yeah, but you'd have to use suspicions, wouldn't you?
No.
Where have you been? And she's like, DFS. Why are you sweaty'd have to use suspicions, wouldn't you? No! Where have you been?
And she's like, DFS.
Why are you sweating?
She's doing tragedy by steps, what's this?
Her hair was messed up.
Cause of the poleaxing.
DFS?
And she spells it.
DFS.
Dick for Sereka?
Yeah, don't tell me. Go and get... If my dick's on...
Steve gave it ooo off screen.
Yeah, I don't want to know, but you know, if I've got no cock.
Oh no, I think that's part of the cook hold fun, innit?
Hey, what you been up to?
I'd do that voice as well and Laura'd be like, oh mate, just got pole accent.
DFS. Wink for the audio listeners, which
she'd say in conversation, which would be mad. I'd be like, Oh yeah. Was it great?
She'd be like, tickety boo. I've just realized something. What? You know, when I got that
intolerance test done, the one thing that came back that I was mildly allergic to was
pistachio and there's loads of pistachios on that butty I've been eating. Pistachio butty?
I've had a lot of relations with pistachios. Oh, pistachio butty.
It's a marinated mozzarella, a mortadella and a pistachio pesto sandwich.
Is it treating you funny?
I don't know.
Is your belly funny?
It always is though, isn't it?
There's just so much going on. Well, this could be a nine-minute section, guys. What your belly funny? It always is though, innit? There's just so something going on.
Well, this could be a nine minute section, guys.
What's going on?
Have you tried the Dubai chocolate?
No.
What's going on here?
You're giving me fucking New Build love honey.
Yeah, what's going on?
Love Island.
It's good shit.
It's not.
It's fine.
The grass in it and that.
No, see, I'm glad you're saying that.
Where's it come from?
Tell me what it is.
Pure gym. What's Dubai chocolate? It's like pistachio chocolate. People are
obsessed. It's got kefar in it. It's like have you seen Peaky Blinders in a chocolate?
The Lion King. Maladon? Oh yeah that one. It's like it's a grey crush from the couch
but it's chocolate. Right. And it's like a tenner for a little bar.
All right, should we get some and try it?
No, it's just a big load of crap chocolate.
Yeah.
I just wanna-
Adam's against it.
I just wanna give it a go.
We'll get the pistachio flavor, make your afternoon exciting.
It is pistachio.
It's pistachio chocolate.
It's a pistachio cream.
Oh, it's pistachio. We'll have a look. Sounds awful. it's a pistachio cream. Oh, it's pistachio.
Look, it sounds awful.
And can you buy it over here or do you have to go to Dubai?
Everywhere.
It's called Dubai chocolate.
All the box-man shops.
Yeah.
Yeah.
For the audio listeners, it looks like actually it doesn't.
No, it does not.
It looks like weed.
It looks like cake.
Like Anton Ferdinand. does not. It looks like weed. It looks like cake.
So we're getting into cook, hold in and get some Dubai chocolate.
Right. Can I do that? Yeah.
It's time to have a word with Adam and Dan.
Tell us all your problems.
And this is from anonymous.
Now it's just the final 10%. He says, hi, let's have a word with my mate Steve
He's 20 years older than me, but we're mates from my old workplace every time we go out and meet up for drinks
He's insistent that we always go out and do an activity of sorts this week
He's booked us to go to darts and is now asking us all to transfer him 15 quid each for the lane
Lane how much the darts?
Like club is great not free
15 quid ahead
Sure, the common drinks probably like anonymous says let's just me over a bevy and have a chat
I don't want to have to channel my inner Luke littler just have a catch up with the boys
Cheers lids and that's from anonymous.
So it sounds like he's just a bit of an itinerary wanker, you know,
a bit of a like the OCD guy that books the tickets for everything.
Bit of a dad planner.
But I don't always mind it. Yeah, it's not.
It just adds to it.
It just means there's less pressure on sitting there chatting.
You can just have a game and have a bit of a.
I think it's just it's a cost of living crisis, isn't it?
So 15 quid, that's what, four pints, three or four pints.
So if you were only going to have five pints,
you can only have two because you,
this fellow spent all your money on darts.
I'm glad Axe Throw-In's finished.
I never did it either.
I did a gig at an Axe Throw-In place
for the Frog and Bucket near Bolton.
Oh, that's fun, innit?
With people while they were playing.
You just literally finish up
and you've got the fucking axe throwing like everywhere.
And then you just do a gig in the middle.
They should do like a beat the frog style thing there.
Yeah.
Dodge the axe.
High stakes.
I went on a date axe throwing once.
And it was fun. And then like the girl was better than Mary. Then
there was a challenge to win. I think it was to win 50 quid. And like there was like the,
the gap was fucking nothing that you had to get the accent to cut like a wire, which would like
drop like this bucket of like a confetti. And she did it and she won the 50 quid. But there was no chemistry.
Well, it wasn't a good day.
It was a good day.
All right. OK.
Woodman. Yeah.
That's a lumberjack.
One of those things you don't necessarily need.
I was shying a lumberjack for a while.
You don't need your missus to be good with an axe, do you?
I mean, she's lovely, great personality.
We get arms, great tits.
It's also weirdly good with an axe.
Oh, man. Do you want to say things and acts as a way to protect the house. So there's
this I'll go on right next to me. There's an accident, a big screwdriver under my bed.
Allegedly. What's the screwdriver for more distance like in case the fellow turns up
Rob's and it's like, well, could you help me fix me? Or he wants to steal a telly and
she helps me get it off. What are you going to do with an axe?
I think I've said this before.
Berger comes in and you go, whoa!
No, I've said this before.
I tell it all the time.
She's not using an axe if someone breaks in,
but she likes it there anyway.
So look at that.
Yeah.
Just to feel the weight of it.
And also our bed, it's one of them beds where, like,
you have to lift it like that, got all the storage under. And that's where you keep your weaponry.
But you can't really lift it.
She's like, I'm going to minute.
Two seconds.
I don't mind this.
I think someone being a bit of a proactive mate and trying to, you know, arrange stuff,
shouldn't always be shat on.
But there is something to be said for just going for a pint with your mate sometimes
isn't there?
I think you've got to bring it up in like a jokey way in front of everyone.
I think you've got to bring it up in like a jokey way in front of everyone.
Like before the next plan's made.
So like, what's his name?
Ryan? Luke? It's anonymous. So like, what's his name? Ryan?
It's anonymous. It's from Ryan Luke. It's from Luke Ryan.
Didn't he say the fella's name? He's Steve. Steve, right. So next time it's like, oh, we're going to do this. We're going to go just go, Oh, by the way, Steve,
next time can we just have a pint? Seriously? I, I'm not paying 15 quid to play darts.
Let's just go and have a few booners, Steve, you big Steve.
No, you've gone too far there.
You need to be like, what are we doing next time,
bloody rock climbing.
No, let's just go and have a pint next time.
See, that's when I think it comes too much.
Going down to flight club and playing darts
in a really cool setting.
That is just an accessory to the beers. When people are like, Oh, we should go canoeing.
You're like, Oh, fuck off.
I should go canoeing though.
Yeah.
All right. Yeah.
Cool.
What happened to the pool? All great. It's beers with pool. Come down to the dark. It's
be, but as soon as you cut, you have to stop drinking to do the event. It's like, what
are we doing?
Oh, but escape rooms are good.
No, Oh, fucking not. I have never done one to do the event. It's like, what are we doing? No, but escape rooms are good. No, they are fucking not.
I have never done one and I never will.
They are fun, you know.
No, I know you hate it, but don't go in if you can't get out.
That's the point of it.
What's that saying?
Don't play Monopoly because you're not going to have the answers at the end.
No, it's not because the game is like having fun.
But that's like, oh, it's an escape room.
We're stalking here. No, but that's like So is an escape room We're stalking here
No, but that's not the fun of it
The prize is going home
No, the prize is solving the riddles and you know
Oh, god
And sometimes you go to one
I would get bored within 10 minutes and try and smash a door down I think
Also, is there like a fire alarm? I'll just break the glass
That's my getting out of the...
Is there a code word?
So there's stickers on like, because they can't lock you in properly through like a fire alarm. I'll just break the glass. That's my getting out of the fire alarm. Is there a code word?
So there's stickers on like,
because they can't lock you in properly.
So there's stickers on certain buttons.
It's like, don't touch this.
This like does the lights or don't touch this.
This is the plug hole.
And you're not meant to,
you just got to play along as if they're not there.
All right.
So you can escape at any time
by just going through a fire exit.
You can go to the toilet and come back if you want.
Can you go to the toilet and get off? What did you just say? They lock you in a room apart from the
door where you can definitely get out to go and have a wasp. You're not in there to have a poo.
Never invite me to an escape room you silly bastard. Is that an escape room special? Second
of all that would turn into chaos within 30 seconds. Did you ever see what Greg James did?
That he turned his radio studio into an escape room.
We talked about turning this into an escape room.
Yeah, and he got stuck there for three days,
non-stop or something.
But people had to give him clues over like, live stream.
What if there's a fire?
Yeah, that would be the end of Greg James,
because he plays to the rules.
We just put stickers there, and it's like,
oh, bloody hell, there's a fire.
What is it like, oh, the key is in the pot?
Yeah, you had to solve codes and and that and then also put on like it like chapel rowing every now and
then. They are fun you'd have fun and isn't that what life's all about? Escape rooms.
Life's like a big room you're just going to escape it. There's one in Wigan that I did.
What? Wigan is an escape room. Wigan is the one
that people who run it genuinely the people who run it used to be a part of an orchestra
and they left this orchestra to come set up an escape room in like place in Wigan. Is
it because it's so much bussy? Yeah, it's massive because no one really wants the square
footage of like a Wigan shop anymore. So they had more to play with. They upgraded. They moved across the
road and upgraded. So the old British home stores or something. They put one of them
was a labyrinth like maze like where the Minotaur but the fella did the voice of God all time.
Like they they're eager to see people do well because they've made it. All right, Harry,
listen, we've all done our days now.
Finn Day's just going out.
Harry Day, I think has to be in Wigard.
Can we do an escape room on Harry Day?
It's your day, you can choose it.
That's the only way I'm going in an escape room.
Yeah, it's not a whole special.
I'm bringing a bit of it.
Yeah, I'm bringing a roadside bomb with me.
What?
Got us all to Naki Ma on Harry Day.
All that me mom.
Harry's perfect.
Wrestling and an escape room and then we could all go home happy and you know I don't have
to file a HR complaint or anything for Necky Meade.
We haven't got HR here mate.
He's right here mate.
It's me initial.
Oh no please don't make me do an escape room.
Hi lids, I hope you're all good, got to have a word for you.
Got my hair done the other day, this is from Beth. I'm good. Got my hair done the other day.
There was a weird smell.
And at first, I couldn't place it.
But after a while, realized it was my hairdresser's hands.
They smelled like salt and vinegar crisps and slobber.
And I'm almost sure she was scranning crisps
and licking her fingers, digging for crisp bits in her mouth
before she started on me.
It was fucking rank.
My appointment was a few hours
and the smell just kept going round my face
as she was moving.
I didn't say anything, but should I have?
Have a word with her for being a stinky bitch
or have a word with me if I'm fuming over nothing,
a stroke, pussy out, saying anything to her.
And that's from Beth.
So I haven't been to a hairdresser since 2003.
They don't have salt and vinegar slobber hands.
Sounds like he played for the ball for some point.
No, that's not real.
No, it could.
There's some Chris.
If I got to my barber, Josh, and he had salt and vinegar,
no one would do his thing.
I'd be like, you're going to get a bath.
Yeah, but some people aren't that confident
and will avoid the competition and go,
I'm just not going to say anything about it.
That's the real shame.
Once she got her hair done, she was confident enough.
But mid-air cuts, confidence was low.
That's wild.
Is there surely, there's etiquette when you're touching.
Smelly barbers aren't doing well.
If you're touching the public for your job.
This isn't a barber, it's a hairdresser, isn't it?
You shouldn't have smelly hands.
No, you shouldn't.
Like if I got a massage the other day, if she'd have had like monster munch on her hands,
I'd have gone, can you go and wash your hands, please?
You don't want a dentist with what's it does to you.
I think we're the problem at dentists.
You know what I mean?
Not them. They always seem dead clean.
I feel sorry. I went to the dentist and I had double, like, brushed my teeth and then I got a double chewing gum.
I'm so worried about being the one that's like, oh, it's breath fucking stop.
Oh, they see well worse.
Yeah. I've never...
I think, like, when we were in a taxi...
Who was in the taxi with me?
Oh, yeah, me and you on Cheetah.
Smelly taxi.
I just don't think, it's horrible.
Like it's part of you, isn't it?
Yeah.
He's been smoking in it.
Oh no, smoking in cars might be one of my executive orders.
And smelly waiters.
Yeah.
I had a waiter with BO for breakfast the other day.
Oh, BO for breakfast.
Hey, BO for breakfast, me lad. Yeah anyone who's working with the public, just, you know, be
conscientious and don't have it's lovely sock. Very good.
Fair enough. Neve says, let's have a word with my boyfriend, David. He's got into a
phase at the moment of wearing baggy clothes because he's big into his nineties rap culture.
We went out to the pub at the weekend and he generally wore baggy three
quarter jeans, jeans shorts, and had no idea why I questioned him on it.
Tell him to grow up and buy clothes that fit.
Baggy clothes is fine. Baggy three quarter jeans.
No, I'm into it.
Whatever your style is, is your style.
Three baggy three quarter jeans look good on the right people.
Yeah, they just do. Attractive girls. Yeah, yeah. three quarter jeans look good on the right people. Yeah.
They just do.
Attractive girls.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Not him in the pub.
True.
Yeah.
I just don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Fucking Tony Hawk in the pub.
Mate, since you've got me onto baggier jeans.
Yeah.
There's so much more comfortable.
Yeah, because your bollocks aren't being strangled like the one of Brad Pitt's kids.
Like an end goal and on a plane.
Yeah, you did wear tight jeans for your age.
I feel very gaslit by fashion.
One minute you're in there and they're like, yeah, these are like spray on jeans.
And then the next minute they're like fucking billowing tents.
Yeah, but that was 10 years ago, the spray on jeans. No, it fucking, if you just go in these shops there's still aren't, there's still super
skinny jeans.
Like just, just.
You need slim fit not skinny.
Right I understand thanks mate.
Yeah.
Cheers buddy.
Also fuck off.
But they're still selling them.
Yeah but they sell Slazinger trainers. You don't want them. No,
but I mean at decent shops you go in and they're like, well, this is all the range. Like just pick
let's just all. What shops are we selling on? No, the high end fashion. Next. River Elond.
Yeah, if you're buying jeans from next, you get them what you're giving. Well, no, you probably
do very good brogad jeans. That's what I Well, there's still all the loose fit because they're trying to be with the fashion and you can
still get skinny jeans. I got a parody. Why are we just, let's all just agree that they're
gone. Yeah, but they'll come back. Everything is just a cycle. We are coming to the nineties
now and then it'll go to the two thousands. Then we'll probably go back to the sixties.
I thought we'd go to the forties. I used to wear paint on super dry jeans in college.
We know.
He used to wear them here.
But his mum liked them.
Me mum thinks I look fit.
I'm all for the baggy.
Yeah, I wore some baggy clothes the other day.
Baggy clothes are great.
Not on purpose.
They wasn't chosen, but...
You look good though.
It actually did look good.
Also, I've still got tits. So this whole baggy t-shirt thing's fucking great for me.
Hide the tits. Jack says, Lids, quick, have a word with you for you. Have a word
with the fella who brings a book to my gym and reads it in between each set. I
guess on the face of it, there's nothing wrong,
but it pisses me off and I think he's a bellend.
The gym is not a place for literature.
You've got to work out your mind.
Just shut up.
Just fucking shut up.
No, you're back on.
It's so fucking obnoxious.
Yeah.
With a novel, with a hard back.
I saw a girl walking past,
you know where the escape room is?
I'm fucking Just down towards
L1. She went down the stairs and she was reading. I've always had a problem with reading the
book.
You shouldn't be reading on the go.
Oh, sorry. Between this set, I read Mein Kampf. Sorry.
That's fine.
If they're reading that, okay.
Ironically as well, that means my struggle. So it must have been a heavy set. Yeah. Oh,
let me just finish to kill a mocking bear before I do these leg presses. What's the
problem? Someone's just trying to better themselves. Someone's a call. It is near people better
than themselves. No one else can handle it. Not better than yourselves. Why read mine
camp again? We've given a pasta my account. And I've also the guy who, you know,
I've always had a problem with the punch bag. We've got a new Bellwith at the gym who is
doing full kickboxing MMA on the punch bag. Where's he meant to do that? Just at somewhere
that isn't a fucking normal gym. He's probably trying to punch
back there for a reason isn't he? Yeah because they've made a mistake and they shouldn't
have it there. He's probably trying to threaten you. It doesn't do it well. It's, if it was,
you know what I mean, I've watched enough UFC to know what it looks this guy's like. He's doing what did Shem teach us? Teepees?
Teep kick.
Teep kicks.
Teep kicks.
Teep kicks.
Oh it's so bad to watch it.
Why don't you show them what it's done.
Fucking no bed. Get out the gym. Who you impressing? All the pussies are dry.
Did you hit it with the?
Yeah just.
Come on!
Then it would teeter up.
I'd love full mental...
Full mental illness.
The punch bag would be amazing.
Like if he did all the noises from Street Fighter 2.
Have you not got noise-canceling headphones on?
I just...
The visual and the...
Just don't look at them.
I've got Mein Kampf on audio, but... You know... Just don't look at him. I've got Mein Kampf on audio, but...
Just don't look at him. Just live and let live, people.
Oh, he's... I think he's smoked weed, too.
No, he's fine!
I don't know, if you went to the gym
and there was someone kickboxing reading a book,
he'd do your head in.
It wouldn't bother me at all.
I might privately think he's a cunt.
I'd keep it to myself.
I wouldn't be like writing into my favourite podcast.
Still thinking about things I know you please,
still writing into your favourite podcast.
This fucking idiot reading The Hungry Caterpillar.
Do do!
Boop bee!
One more.
Hello lads. I need to have a word with my mate George. D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D- asking to be reimbursed the £20.60 he paid for airport pickup because he arrived 90 minutes
early for us. Despite the fact I told him when we'd land and we weren't delayed, I told
him the rule is that I just owe him an airport pickup in the future, but he's fuming with
me and he's now being off with me. Have a word with him for being a panickety little
twat and tell him that the rule is always an IOU with airport pickups
So means they've got a deal
Whenever Steve goes the airport I take him same no matter what the airport all the time. It's back and forth We've done about 10 now
But that's what friends are if I if I pick him up from the airport on the home when he's coming home
Or he picks me up. We'll pay for the
The pick up should mean right? I think that's just a deal that we've done isn't it? someone home or he picks me up, we'll pay for the pickup.
Do you know what I mean?
I think that's just a deal that we've done, isn't it?
So if you pick him up, you pay to-
No, so if I pick him up from the airport,
he's been whatever and it's like,
I've been there, it's 20 quid to get in.
When we go over to the thing, he'll pay.
And then the next time, I'll pay.
He goes out.
So I drive, he pays.
I think what Anonymous is saying about George is
that it wouldn't have been that much,
but he just arrived too early.
Like he arrived 90 minutes early, therefore had to pay £20.60.
That is silly.
It's on him for being there too early.
Well, this happened to me the other day. I picked them up.
I got there when his plane landed, but I really had a big bag to get.
So I went over the 20 minutes, which meant they had to pay more,
which was on me, but still pay them. He didn't cry. There to go. So I went over the 20 minutes, which meant they had to pay more, which was on me, but still pay them.
You didn't cry.
I think I don't know. It is it is. Do you basically do you
want your mate to ever pick you up again? Because this guy is
now going to be off your list. If you can make a decision here,
you can save £20 60 towards this is you just pay it like your
mate's picked you up. OK, he got there early.
That's him just trying to do you a favour though,
make sure you're not standing outside the airport.
It's 20 quid.
He still saved you money on a taxi.
And if he hasn't saved you money on a taxi,
if the taxi would have been less than 20 quid,
you should have been getting a taxi anyway.
I think it's just favour for favour.
No, I'm a v about them on this one.
Yeah, but I'd pay it because otherwise he's gonna,
next time you go, oh, can you pick us up?
He go, no, fuck you.
The only way you're made should be picking you up
from the airport is if it's in another city
and it's like over 50 quid for a taxi.
Anything under 50 quid, get your fucking taxi home.
Guys?
I mean, I picked Cedar from the airport last week.
Why?
Because I had to get him to work.
Like you were coming straight here. Yeah. That's different.
You go into the same place. How much is a taxi from yours?
If he was landing at Liverpool airport and going to his.
15 quid. They're coming to the same place, aren't they?
No, I mean, but does he usually drop you off at the airport?
Do you usually get him to do that? Yeah, we if I'm going to the airport,
he takes me and not Liverpool. He would take you to Liverpool airport?
No, not Liverpool, obviously.
Manchester, yeah.
But I was bringing him here, so I had to get him.
But if he was landing at Liverpool and going home,
that's a taxi, isn't it?
Yeah, but if he asked me, I'd still say yes.
Yeah, but you'd be annoyed.
You wouldn't say yeah, you'd go, fuck off, lad.
Well, I didn't say fuck off, lad,
I did it last week. Yeah, because you were coming to the same place. Yeah, yeah, you'd go fuck off lad. Well I didn't say fuck off lad, I did last week.
Yeah, because you were coming to the same place.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
To go to the airport to get him, drive him to.
I'd probably say.
Nip in the willows and then get back to yours.
He's taking that slander.
I think it's just like, I know soon enough
I'm going to the airport and I've got a meal get me back. It's that simple
Yeah, another city's if you ask me to the airport, of course, but I know the next time I ask you it's and of course
That easy with your mates. Yeah, you are you're good like that
But if it's only 15 quid, it's probably just gonna tax in it. Yeah
Pay pay the 20 quid then you've still got the option in the future.
Yeah, don't lose your meat.
I like that you came back with a fucking strong one there because you were very like live
and let live. We got you back there at the end.
You had to find me passion.
Airport.
Airport parking.
Seen a bit, lid.
Welcome to part three of four.
I love it when he does that.
Yeah.
Sponsor's a wrap for you.
Mina Schellandie!
Yay!
How you doing?
I'm alright lads, how are you?
I'm really good.
I'm very excited to have you in.
Oh, that makes me nervous.
Why?
Anytime someone says, I'm really excited to have you here, I think, I'm probably going to end up in trouble.
Well, for those who are maybe lived under the rock and and unaware of Mina, first of all, my auntie's
called Mina. That's nice. Yeah. For those who have lived under a rock, my auntie's called
Mina. Where have you been? Big news. Isn't it Dracula? Mina? Is it? Am I right there?
Is it Mina from Dracula? Isn't she like the lady and- No, she's from Skam, my auntie.
No, no, because that's Mina as well
and that's not your auntie.
So there are other Minas.
It is.
Mina is the promiscuous lady in Dracula.
I don't think I've watched it.
Well, I can't get past another person called Mina.
So how does your auntie spell her name?
M-E-N-A, it's short for Philomena.
Oh, okay.
Mine's short for Amina, which is Arabic for flabber, I think.
Oh, that's cool.
Class.
Yeah, but one day someone just called me Mina
and I was like, I like that.
Yeah.
Yeah, stuck.
Yeah.
I read it as Mina, but I was told to stop saying that.
Please don't ever say that again.
I've heard that.
Mina. it as Mina, but I was told to stop saying that. Please don't ever say that again. But you've,
you've watched every season of the trade. So Mina was on the traitors, the latest episode of yours.
And then I was like, oh, I like this. I want to watch it from the start. Yeah. But I went back
and watched one and two, but you can't binge it because you'd have melts. Yes. So I've paused
your season and now it's pointless
because you're going to put it in the bin, aren't you?
But it's fine.
But that's the only season I've watched.
The only full one I've watched.
It's the best one.
It is the best one.
And I'm going to watch it,
but you're probably going to moon it.
No, I am.
I've left gaps.
Like I'm trying to get over Paul from the last one.
He's a maniac.
You can't watch another one.
I can't go into new world.
I've got to wait.
That's true.
That's true.
But on this season of the traitors,
you were a traitor from the start.
Got absolutely fucked over.
Done dirty.
Got done dirty.
Grim.
I'm interested because since that's happened,
cause I started following you like straight away
and you've had a mad few months,
like radio once big weekend introducing artists
onto the stage, hosting on the radio now as well.
What were you doing before you were on Traitors?
I worked on Old Hall Street.
No, I still work there.
So I'm a call center manager, team leader
for car insurance.
So if you ever get in an accident, give me a shout.
Are you the one who's been ringing me?
No, no, not people.
I don't call people.
We ensure Motability cars.
So if you know anyone who's got Motability cars.
My mother.
They're all like insured by us.
So I've worked there since I finished uni,
some nine years now.
I still work there now.
Can I ask a question?
Yeah.
Right.
If my mom committed Mot ability fraud, right? She
didn't. But if she did, then I knew about it. And now cause she's dead now and I was
being fair. Okay. Um, I'm wondering whether I'd be liable for it. How would I get in trouble?
How old were you at the time? That's a good question. Uh, on the rating, You think you're libelous for historic car insurance costs?
I think you're all right, Adam.
You're not like Roll Farrest.
No, but like, did she like, does she run over people?
Like, what are we talking about?
She wasn't mad.
So my mum couldn't drive,
but she was due the mobility benefit.
So someone allegedly asked her for the car
and he gave her what she should have got
plus a little bevy.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
This was my mom, this was another woman I know
who lived in Harroks.
You think they're coming after you
and they're gonna ask for five grand and like 26 beers?
I don't know, I don't know whether this is like a prison sentence.
You know, like when someone dies and like,
they're like in death.
So like they're like next to kin.
Yeah, but not with crimes.
Yeah, that crime dies with her.
No, just because like you're saying your dad was a nonce.
I'm not saying he is or was, but like he dies.
He isn't a monster.
It's mad that you went down the nonce room.
No, because.
Of all of us, I mean, we spent time down there.
But the fact that you've got, I'm going to go nonce room.
Great.
Yeah.
What does that say about me?
No, it's great.
OK, OK.
Yeah, but like say like your dad's a nonce.
Yeah.
Then he kills himself because he's a nonce and he's short.
But then you don't get picked up by the police because you're the father of the nonce. Yeah.
When you're the son of a nonce, the nonce doesn't owe anyone any money for his nonce It should be called nonsense. Not non-silly, nonsense-wise.
Being a bit of nonsense, you know what I mean?
Well anyway, you are my dad's non-silly.
I know a woman who did that, is all I'm saying.
Was it your auntie Nina?
It was my auntie Nina.
Wink for your death.
It was still alive and it wasn't.
Yeah, and I worked in a call center for a bit, but we, so I was, when I was sort of
coming up through stand up, I had to quit me bar job because the gigs were clashing
with the shifts too much.
And then I like was saying to me, dad, I'll just pick up gigs, pay you when I can, like
keeping stuff.
And eventually I had to try and get a day job.
Couldn't find one. went to the job center.
They put me on a course to then go and work in a call center.
They were like, we've got you the job,
you're gonna go and work in this call center.
Of course.
Yeah, like I have to do a two week course
and I was to ring people.
Oh my God.
Yeah, but we were cold calling.
Oh, okay.
Can I just confirm that's the absolute opposite
of where I work.
You get cold calls?
Yeah, no, well, depends on the day of the week I work. You get cold calls? Yeah, no.
Well, it depends on the day of the week, but yeah.
We get calls.
It was bad.
And I worked there for a week.
And then on the Friday, I got like a big case on the phone.
It was like eight people being in a four car pileup car crash.
And then-
And they gave it you who started Monday.
This is a big case, but this kid is showing promise.
Must have smashed the training.
He just finished his training.
They paired you up with someone one day from retirement.
It was one day away from retirement.
It was whoever got the call got the commission.
Oh, right, yeah, yeah.
Because we were on a base raising and commission as well.
But then on the Monday, we all got told not to go in.
Oh. And on the Tuesday, we got told that to go in. Oh, and on the Tuesday we got told
that it had been shut down because they bought the data illegally. Oh no. Yeah. How did you get on
with the call? I think that's still in the wind. Did you say there's four people dead in an eight car pile up?
No, eight people in a four car pile up car crash.
Eight people dead in a four car pile up car crash.
Yeah, this sounds juicy, but it's five o'clock.
I've got a gig in town.
I've got to be on envy.
Does nobody trust you in work? No.
I don't think anyone trusts me outside of work or in work.
Because I've not seen it, but I'm guessing,
cause you're a traitor, you know, you're good at being.
Some say, some, not me.
Was she a good traitor?
Some say I'm the best.
The best?
Better than Paul?
Cause I think Paul's the goat so far.
I mean, no, who's the one who won?
Harry.
Harry, he was unbelievable.
Yeah, no, she was really quite vindictive.
All right, okay.
Just this ability to, you know what the round table thing,
this ability to just wait until there was like a sniff
of like any suspicion on someone else.
And then she'd be like, yeah, I just agree.
Like I didn't want to be the one to say that,
but I agree with.
And then everyone would be like, oh yeah,
that is like such a control.
And you know, you're not the one with the knife.
You're just sort of nudging it in a bit.
I'm like a magician.
What are those people who hypnotize you?
Hypnotists?
Hypnotists, yeah.
They've got a name, them.
One of them.
I'd love to go on the traitors, me.
What would you want to be?
A traitor.
Yeah, do you know, when I ask people that question,
they say, faithful, I just think you're a fucking liar. A, B, why are you going on? I want to be nice to everyone. No, you want to have fun.
The worst part about being a faithful is that you're, if you're, if you're a traitor,
you have all the information. If you're a faithful, you are being gaslit for weeks.
And you know you are as well. So anyone that you're like, God, we've got on really,
because the friendships get made, don't they?
And there's still gotta be a doubt in your head like,
oh, we've said we're gonna be friends when we leave.
But you might be making a dick of me on national television.
I'd rather be a traitor, get far and lose than be a-
A faithful and win.
Same.
100%.
You haven't fallen to the point.
And do you know what?
Like when it ended, I remember like messaging everyone
like I'm really sorry for murdering you because I don't like snaking people or hurting people's
feelings. So I did feel guilty. Probably why I didn't win in the end because of just, I'm
probably too nice, but everyone was like, Oh, don't worry. It's just a game. If that
was the other way around, I'd have been like, you can get fucked. Never speak to me ever again. And that's
why I couldn't be a faithful. I wouldn't speak to any of them. You've lost money cause of them.
Were there any points in the film in where you had a low point because you felt bad about what
you were doing or did you have that ability to just be like, it's a game show. I'm playing my part. Do you know what it was with me? I, I think I met as people that I wasn't close with.
So that's probably not the best game plan. So I'm quite, I get attached to people quite quickly.
So like, for example, I was really close with Jake, Leonigh-Anne, Freddie, Leon, and they didn't get murdered.
Do you know what I mean, Ty?
That was really close with got banished, not murdered.
I just could not murder somebody who I was friends with.
The thing is though, and by the way,
if you haven't watched the Tracers yet,
go and start with this season and then work your way back
because that's what I'm going to do.
I'll get to the other seasons.
Very addictive. I absolutely loved it.
Oh, you will binge it.
But also like for those who don't know the format,
two people initially get nominated as traitors.
Don't they?
It could be two to four.
Two to four.
And they know that they every single night,
as long as they don't get caught that day,
that they get to kill a faithful
and then they would have to leave the show.
Exactly.
But like, I know what you're saying about,
it might've been a bad tactic
because you didn't kill anyone you were friends with,
but everyone second guesses literally every breath
and like blink and like shift of the eyes in there.
That I think if someone close to you did get murdered,
they'd be like, oh, she's done that to cover herself.
It might've put even more suspicious on yourself.
Like I felt like banishment.
Like if someone got banished at my expense or like my doing,
I didn't feel guilty about that.
But if they got mad, if the thought of murdering
like one of my mates, like for example, Dan,
who's also from Liverpool, I was really close with,
instantly we just connected.
And I remember when he marks me in that mission
and I thought, you don't trust me,
therefore you can just go.
So that night I was like, he's going
and he got banished that night.
I was like, yeah, I'm setting this up
and he's going and he went.
You said before you still were, you still in the call center now. Yeah. So even,
even though you've like been doing all this stuff for the BBC, essentially reality star
for like from the show and then radio host. Yep. You can't leave the call center yet.
I can't do you know what it is? I'm somebody that needs like stability. Like the thought of just leaving
my job. Yeah. It just makes me really anxious. Like I just can't. I mean, God love my manager
shell. Shout out to shell. And she letting you off shifts. She's so good. Yeah. She's
really, really good. And she's like, she'll always like make things work. Like I've had,
I've not had to say no to anything, but at the same time, I'm just like, I can make it
work. Like I'm a bit of a workaholic anyway.
So normally I do me normal, like 32 hours in work.
And then I'd end up doing more anyway.
So now I just don't do extra work.
I just do other stuff.
It's smart.
What was the castle like when it wasn't getting filmed?
When it wasn't getting, when we're not filming.
We film constantly when we're in the castle.
Oh really?
There's never a part where like, we're just gonna just going to know. You pull up in the morning and it's a bit
of a drive. Like you're not upstairs. Done. Done. They all leave in cars. Oh yeah. They do. So they
can't see who's the trade. Yeah. Yeah. So like you get there, I had a thick moment instantly. You get
miked instantly and then you put in a room
and it's like one bite. Well, like sometimes it's like three of you. Sometimes there's
like five just depends who you're in the car with. You're not allowed to talk in the car.
So you, you get calls one by one, like, come on. I was like someone in the front seat drive
in the car and they're like, Oh yeah. Guns on the back. Not a fucking word.
Yeah.
So hang on, you all drive back from,
where's the accommodation?
Is it a hotel?
Can't confirm, no, it's a nice lodgings they say.
Oh, right, OK.
But it's far away.
And then in the morning, you see the other people, do you?
Or are you in?
Yeah, you see some people.
It's a premium, but it's the one that Lenny Henry runs.
No, this is the main one.
It's the main one.
Go one, Lenny. Yeah. This is the main one. It's the main one.
Yeah, and then that's it. Like you get told, congratulations,
you've made it to breakfast.
Oh wow, so you get to the morning, don't know that.
And you're like, and then as a traitor, you're like,
oh my God, thank you so much.
But really, cause you can't just go, yeah, nice one.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, no.
Hang on a sec, why are you so not asked about going to breakfast?
The breakfast scenes are hilarious
because everyone's like, oh, I wonder who's,
oh wow, hey, I love all that.
That's probably the stressy bit for me.
I think when you're a treater,
trying to pretend to be a faithful is almost impossible
because you don't know what it's like.
You actually don't know.
So it's like, well, how do we react to being told I'm going to breakfast? Is it quite tiring constantly
think about how you nail the lie? Do you know when I got banished, I genuinely said to the
producers, I cried because I was just like, I felt like a fucking boss had been took off
my shoulders. And I was like, I am drained. Like, thank God I didn't realize I was drained
until the bus was off my shoulders.
So at no point in the day, do you get to just chill?
No, at all.
Like constantly mic'd, constantly getting filmed.
Constantly till you leave, yeah.
That's insane.
And you can't, there's no contact
with outside the world, is that right?
No.
I know, like I think I got like two videos sent.
My little girl was about to turn two when I filmed it and I'd never been away from her
like past like four nights.
So I was like, Oh God, I'm going to come back and she doesn't.
How long was it?
Like three weeks.
All right.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, suppose for some it was two days, but
See, we keep trying to get down to film for a month with us
But he won't leave his kids that long. He's like no
He was gonna bath them. Yeah, I would for the traders
We want to do Big Brother ourselves, can I join yeah
place. We won't mention it. We'll just call you down the entire time. Yeah. I think that'll be great. I'm gonna get guests involved, but it's a big amount of Laura's niff for anyone.
Can I ask you a question? Because I know you spoke to Harry before you came in today. Obviously
he puts some research together and there's one particular thing that he mentioned that
I'm really intrigued by. So apparently you used to be a part owner of a restaurant and I went in once and got terrible service. Yes. Well,
I mean, I, I don't know the full details of what I'll be able to tell you if you're a
zombie. My husband, Liam, I said to him, I'm going on outwards and he was like, Oh my God,
as I'm coming to suburb once and so there
were 24 across the village used to be the old village poor, but it's called like got
like a nightclub in the basement downstairs for drinks afterwards. Yeah. Yeah. So what
was it? Was it bad service or was it the food? I can't remember. I remember really bad. So
that's fine. Isn't it? I did have absolute murder with the next girlfriend that night though. So yeah, like I know the night you're talking about. So maybe that
memory is overshadowed your terrible prawn toast. I can't remember. I can't remember
what it was. There might've been a little thing yet, but it's not like stayed in my
head because I couldn't sleep last night. Then you go, Oh my thing, yeah, but it's not like stayed in my head. Because I couldn't sleep last night thinking,
oh my God, what happened?
How's he aware of the bad service?
I'm guessing it was somebody else.
So the manager, so he was downstairs working in the bar.
So he was, he got you the drinks,
said you had some like cans of neck oil or something like that.
Yeah, because I know who the manager was as well,
because I used to work with the manager. Manager's like called Jay. Yeah, because I know who the manager was as well, because I used to work with the manager.
Manager's like called Jay.
Yeah, well, he was an old manager.
Okay.
More tea.
What could it spill?
Moving on.
Yeah, moving on.
When I seen sort of some of the interviews
you did after the Tracers,
I found out that you're not a born and bred Scouter.
No.
But you do sound like it.
I know, and I'm not putting it on.
I promise you I'm not.
Basically, I've got this theory.
So I was born in Uganda, lived there
till I was about six, maybe seven.
Then I moved to Glasgow.
So then I had a Scottish accent at one point in my life.
Then I moved to Birmingham when I was 13,
the week before my 13th birthday,
because I remember thinking to my mum,
you must hate me for me to not have friends
for my 13th birthday.
And then I moved to Liverpool for uni.
So I've lived in Liverpool the longest.
So maybe all me mates have based.
Yeah. So you didn't live here till you were like 18. No, that's meant I moved here with a
Brummie accent. You sound like you're from the south. I know I can picture where you live
really close because of your voice and that's not your real voice. That's mental. It's insane. When
you go back to like, if you've been back to Glasgow, do you go back into it?
When you go back to Uganda,
and they're like, your accent's changed again.
I'm like, yeah, so when I go to Birmingham,
I haven't got, I think maybe if I go to Birmingham,
I can go a bit brummy, but I wouldn't be able
to have a Scottish accent.
I actually think the Birmingham accent and the Liverpool accent are a lot closer than most
people realize as well. Yeah. Do you ever watch Peaky blinders? Yes. So do you know
Tommy Shelby's mom? Yeah. And it, no, it's not his mom. And the auntie, like the mother
figure of the show, like Tommy's auntie, she's obviously doing a Brummie accent cause she's like not from there.
And occasionally she sounds really, really scouse.
And so does Tommy's sister,
the aunt and the sister in it are both Brummie.
Like I had to Google a couple of times
whether they were scouse women
who were just slipping into their natural accent.
I think they're quite close, yeah.
Well, there you go.
Yeah.
How long do you reckon it'd take
if you moved back to Birmingham?
Cause if you can develop a full Scouse accent from 18,
I reckon three or four years back in Brom and you'd be like,
you got a really specific Scouse accent,
that's what I'm saying.
But like what, like how?
Like you're not, you're so clearly not
from the North of Liverpool.
Okay. You're so clearly from from the North of Liverpool. Okay.
You're so clearly from the Crosby way.
That's what you've got.
But you think that's cause Liam's from there?
Yeah.
Crosby, Crosby is the North of Liverpool.
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
I meant the other way around.
I meant the other way around. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean like,
What you're saying is I haven't got a pair of feet.
Like, it's not from the swan is she?
She's not from the swan?
No.
She's from Uganda, Carl.
I meant no. As in from Uganda, Carl. I'm at no.
As in like the, the scout, like the John Edd scouts accent you haven't got, you've got
the softer one.
Is that a compliment?
Yes.
Thank you.
You've got the less harsh.
You haven't got the Ross Kempong gangs, scouts accents.
You've got the, the Beatles used to live on our road accent.
Okay, yeah.
The boots and coats.
Ringo used to play the guitar on the corner over there
when he was nine.
That's what you sound like.
I don't know if you can hear.
How they still sound the same.
Ringo.
To buy new guitars, Ringo, yeah wow.
But it is a good thing, yeah?
Yes, it is. Ringo used to run the lemonade out before he went big. He's buying a lot of guitars for aingo, yeah, wow. But it is a good thing, yeah? Mm, it is.
Ringo used to run the Lemonades out before he went big.
He's buying a lot of guitars for a drummer, isn't he?
Yeah, cos he wants to make mates with the real musicians.
Just cos he's a professional drummer
doesn't mean he's not a part-time guitarist.
He's gay.
He's a bit of a part-time guitarist,
if you know what I mean.
Cocks. It's a bit of a part-time guitarist if you know what I mean. Your husband apparently says that you, your accent majors when you speak to different
people.
Yeah. He said, I feel like it's probably the worst at weddings. So I always feel like,
like weddings say like you, like me, I went to uni somewhere else. So like I'd have people
from Birmingham at the wedding. So he says like, you do this, I watch to uni somewhere else, so like I'd have people from Birmingham at my wedding.
So he says like, you do this, I watch you do it.
He's like, I can feel you're about to do it
and it makes me feel sick.
I'll just start like mimicking the person's accent,
but not as like, not as full on,
but he's like, I can see why are you talking like that?
It's weird.
You're not wasting him.
You're not wasting him.
I didn't mean you might be the same person.
Oh my God.
Yeah, she's this savvy.
But do you realize you're doing it? You're not wrestling. I think me and you might be the same person. Oh my God. Yeah, she's this side of it. But do you realize you're too in it?
Cause I don't.
Adam's got an American setting, which is really fun.
Cause we get a lot of American guests.
Hey man.
No stop.
He switches it down and speaks.
It is, he still sounds scouse,
but he sounds like he's almost pretending to be scouse.
It's slightly slower. It's not quite his normal voice. It's like he's almost pretending to be Scouse. It's slightly slower, it's not quite his normal voice.
It's like he's doing slam poetry.
No, stop!
He's got a German set and I've seen him go into German.
This is so over-exaggerating!
We landed in Berlin, we were there and now we're going straight to Machi's,
because we were starving.
And the Machi's, so you know, there's a lot of different cultures.
Don't you have a Mac?
And he's like,
Hello there, how's the Big Macs place?
What?
Like Steve McLaren when he got a job at 20.
Like I went, I make, can I, obviously I've softened though.
I was like, can I just grab a Big Mac?
And he's like,
Hello there, can I have the Big Macs and the drinks please?
I'm taking you to Germany.
Or it is, I mean, obviously I'm exaggerating,
but it wasn't that far. It was like, I went. What happened was, I went No! I'm taking you to Germany. Or it is, I mean, obviously I'm exaggerating, but it wasn't that far.
It was like, I went.
What happened was, I went and I went,
a Big Mac meal.
Pffft.
There you go.
Yeah, yeah, that's close, yeah.
That was it.
And he was like, what was that?
I was like, I'm just trying to speak like, German.
I'll do Big Mac meal.
I can't help it.
I need people to be able to understand me. I get that because when
you did that, then I could picture myself doing that abroad. I really think like I can't
speak Spanish and I always feel really disgusted in myself that I'm going to Spain and I can't
even count to three. So you think I can, but I can't. If you've listened to a pit bull song, you know, I want to realize
that's what I was doing all that time. So like, I'll like sometimes like put a bit of
like in my head, what like a, a Scouse Spanish accent is. And again, I just, I'm like, don't do
it, but I can't help myself. I'm just like, Oh, la, em, can I have some but that's, that's bravas.
And it's like, just say the word. You don't, you don't do much.
In France last year I asked for it. I was like, can I have a Coca-Cola?
I did the same in France last year. I asked for it. I was like, can I have a Coca Cola? Like they were, like they were going to miss like that. Like they, they know every other
word in English, but they were like, he's so cool. Oh, Coca Cola. This is me trying.
Yeah. And I do the same with Spanish. Like, oh, that's that stems from embarrassment that
you can't speak that language. You're just trying. You're just trying. But then they're looking at you like- Because you don't want to be in a foreign country going, can I have a fucking egg and
chips?
Just make a little bit of effort.
Don't you want a Coca Cola now?
No.
That really won't get you a Coca Cola.
A fucking egg and chips?
What's the charge?
I, like, there's loads of comments.
So I did an episode of Sean Walsh's new podcast and there's loads of comments on like some of the clips
going, fucking hell, has he changed his accent?
It's like, you're used to listening to me on this.
We're in our podcast studio with a lad I went to school with
and we're in Liverpool.
I was like, I'm on a podcast talking to someone
from the South, no one else from the South,
like is any, like no one else from my part of the world,
is he here. We've got
a Southern comic and his Southern producer and a lot of his listenership is going to
be like, like I just soften it a little bit. It's just a natural thing. Cause I'm desperate
to be understood.
She's taking the edge off. Yeah. Yeah. I used to hate me more. I used to, when I was a kid,
I used to hate your mom. I used to hate her when I was a kid. I used to hate her phone voice. Cause I never
understood when I was a kid, like she'd ring the bank and she'd be like, mom, why are you
doing that? You sound annoying. She'd be like, when you grow up, you realize you've got it.
She used to do a Chinese accent every time she rang the bank. I'm like, you can't do
that. Harry's phone voice is great. Hello! Hello! Hi!
Hi!
Hi!
Hi!
Hi!
It used to whine the opposite of waving his feet.
When are you at your most, Scouse?
When do you go the other way and go, like, if someone's being a dick at the match or
something, do you just go into, like, absolutely full, 100% the most, Scouse? Intentionally, I don't know, intentionally, what do you just go into like absolutely full 100% the most scouse?
Intentionally or unintentionally, what do you mean?
Both?
Because if you have the ability to take it off, to make yourself understood, surely there's
a point where you're like almost put it on a little bit.
It can get used to get you that.
I used it on a special the other day.
I was like, oh, I'm going to be more scouse now.
Just like the badge of like, I am one of you.
So you know,
and also like there's been times where me and me missus have been like in London and
there's been like a sudden kicking off in like a pub or whatever that like we should
not be involved in.
And I'll be more, I'll be as scouts as I possibly can.
Cause I see, I think it's seen as like a bit of an intimate intimidating accents in that circumstance. So I'll be as scouse as I possibly can. Cause I think it's seen as like a bit of an intimidate, intimidating accent in that circumstance.
Yeah.
So I'll be a lot.
Oh my goodness he's scouse.
By the way, when I said I used it on a special,
I meant a special filming, not a special person.
Cause I think you thought I spoke to someone
of a community in a certain way.
That's not true.
Cause I hear you go, oh.
I'm probably the most scouts naturally
when I'm talking to me mate, Nevin.
Like when he gives me a lift, if he picks me up,
cause he like-
Oh, the taxi you love?
Yeah, yeah.
So like I worked with him in Mackeys when I was like 16,
we've stayed mates, he's a Uber driver now.
So occasionally, like if I like land at Heathrow,
especially if I'm with someone else
and I've got loads of bags,
I'll get them to come to Heathrow and pick us up
rather than getting the train from Heathrow to Victoria,
Victoria to Euston, Euston back.
Yeah.
I'll just get them to pick us up
because it's often the same price
if there's more than one a year
and you've got bags and stuff.
So yeah, if he drives me back by the end of that car journey,
four hours in,
cause we talk nonstop on that journey.
Like there's no like hour where we shut up.
It's just a constant conversation between two Scouts lads.
By the end of it,
I noticed on the way back from Nashville last week
and me missus was asleep in the back,
but I just caught myself using a few like,
annotations or like bits of me vernacular
that I hadn't used for a while.
And I was like, oh yeah, fuck I know.
Yeah.
He's back, baby.
He's back.
Yeah, I've got a softener though,
especially if you work in the media and stuff.
It's just not fun.
Oh, God, yeah.
People don't understand us.
My dad used to put his Lancashire accent on
because he worked as a civil engineer
and he didn't want to see him posh.
So he'd bollock us like, you know, stop doing that.
You know, behave yourself back there.
And he had a little radio because he was an engineer
and they all linked up by radio and then go,
Hell's most torn hair.
I'm going to be there about three.
And it was the wildest thing to watch.
It was the opposite of a phone voice.
It's trustworthy, isn't it?
It was so funny, like, dad's doing his working class voice now.
Fucking hell torn hair, motel, motel.
It was great fun.
Looked a dickhead when he did it.
Did someone put in your suitcase in Barcelona?
What? I need the speech for that.
That's like, okay, my dad's non posh voice.
Did someone put in your suitcase in Barcelona?
So this story, I half hate telling it
because if you don't know me by the end of it, I am
almost certain you're going to think it was probably a or it was a fella, but I swear
to God on everything. It wasn't, it wasn't. So two, two, three years ago, two years ago
went to Barcelona for me sister-in- in laws 40th. So like Liam's
one of five. So everyone's partners are not cleared. So a bit of say go to Barcelona book.
Like, you know, when it's not a hotel, but it's like a boutique, like it, it's not like
an official hotel, like the Hilton or whatever. And we booked like a boutique hotel, not like
a non chain. Yeah. Like it's not a chain. Um, but it was in a building, but they just
like there was apartments and then one of the level was their hotel. That's what it
was. So it went big. So I remember us getting in and they were going shh for festival. We're
between the ages of like 28 and 40. So we're not kids. Like you don't need to show us.
Like you need to be quiet. You need to be quiet.
And I was like, okay.
They're like, you just can't shout.
There's people that live here, whatever.
Anyway, fast forward on the last night,
my brother-in-law, two of them went to watch Bruce Springsteen.
The rest of us went out, came back the next morning.
No, no, the night before we went out that last night,
I remember opening the suitcase
and putting some of my bits in and closing it up. You know, the hard cases that like it's a zip to like it's quite bulky and
loud on tiles. So zip it off. Sorry. Fold it up. Stand up again. Come in, go to bed,
wake up. And I'm like, Liam, get up. We need to start getting ready. Text everyone. Get
up. You start getting ready. Open the suitcase. put me in and there was not, but someone else's shit, like an actual literal poo and piss
in the suitcase. I think it was you. I knew you. I knew like, I know there's gotta be
listeners going white lotus. That's what everyone said to me. I haven't seen it, but that's
what everyone said to me because they don't like you. So that's their way of getting back. Yeah. Hang on. For those who haven't watched
white lows white lotus in series two, there's a beef between the manager of the hotel and
one of the guests and his way of getting back with the guest is he goes and shit in his
suitcase. That's not all that is it? No. And he ends up finding out a mother and a book.
He's shifting. That wasn't the start of me. I didn't measure anyone, but I'm shitting. I didn't murder anyone. That wasn't the start of me traitors behavior.
I didn't murder anyone, but I'm not messing. I can still remember like, I can still remember
the smell if I close my eyes of when I opened the suitcase. And so to anyone who thinks it was you,
let me tell you why it couldn't have been either of us. There was no shit in the bed.
Surely if you're going to shit in a suitcase, wouldn't it be shit in the bed?
No?
No.
It'd be in the suitcase?
Yeah, but like, you're down like skiddies.
No, hang on, there was shit in the suitcase.
No.
What, you're kidding?
Wouldn't it, like if-
No, I think it wasn't you, cause you opened it,
and if I had pooed in somewhere,
I'd be staying away from it.
When you got back from, was it seen in Springsteen?
The suitcase was up.
Yeah.
You'd been seen in Bruce Springsteen?
Me brother-in-law has, we'd gone karaoke somewhere.
You'd gone karaoke?
Yeah.
So question.
Yeah.
Right.
Is it fair enough to assume that when you got back
that night you were a bit drunk?
Yeah.
Right.
How much fiber are you getting in your diet?
Just question, just question.
So you got home, here's my hypothesis.
Okay.
I don't think you meant to shit in your suitcase.
I'm just not happening.
I know where you're going with this.
I think what's happened is you've woke up a bit drunk
and you've gone, oh, I need a shite, right?
And you've gone out of bed and you've thought,
I won't turn the lights on because it'll wake me up.
And you've got to that hard plastic thing
and thought it was the toilet.
And then you found a zipping on there's not not usually zip.
There's no zip.
Oh, what is it?
The ones that have like a clasp like.
Oh, like a toilet seat.
So you've lifted that up and you've just let it flow.
You've pissed and shit in your suitcase.
You haven't realized you've done it.
Right.
And you've gone back to bed going,
and you've got in bed.
And she didn't see Springsteen,
unless she sang it at the karaoke as well.
I think you accidentally shit in your suitcase.
So when you went to bed,
are you certain it wasn't in the suitcase?
Cause they must have shit in it in the night.
It has to have been in the suitcase.
Oh, when you got in bed, it was already there. I think that's when it happens because when I
opened the suitcase, as you can imagine, I instantly assumed it was Liam and I was like,
Liam, he was like, what? I was like, why the fuck's there a shit in the suitcase?
Good question. And he was like, what? That's fair from you by the way. Like literally what?
Anyway, he was like, what do you mean?
And his face told me that it couldn't have been him
because he thought it was me and I thought it was him.
So it wasn't either of us.
I know, but you've been a traitor yourself.
And that's just good word by Liam, isn't it?
Like we've got every right to trust Liam
and not you in this situation.
You've heard this before.
Maybe the look on his face is because he recognized
the smell and he knew it was one of yours.
Hang on, so was your move to not go to the desk and go,
one of you lot of pooed in my case.
Well, so, because this ties into when I said,
it's one of those weird hotel boutique places,
there's nobody at reception between the hours of one
or midnight and 6 a.m. And our flight was like an early one.
So this is like five o'clock in the morning.
Liam did message the website
where we booked the hotel from.
Three stars.
It was all going so well.
Please leave a review.
Someone shat in my suitcase.
So what's your hype?
Lovely breakfast though.
Well at first I thought it was my brother-in-law
because he'd got Liam a ticket to Bruce but
it rained that day and Liam's a bit of a princess. He can't do the rain. So we got there and
he's like, fuck this, I'm not going and left. So I thought maybe it was our mic.
How drunk was Liam when he came back from Bruce?
No, he didn't go. He came to karaoke with us.
So only the brother-in-law went?
And the other brother-in-law too.
And were they really drunk?
But they wouldn't have had access to your room.
They wouldn't. They weren't enough.
Because I had the key, Liam had the key.
How long was your suitcase open for?
This is like, do you remember?
It was shut.
It was shut at the bin, yeah.
Early on, OG listeners.
Within like a two month, yeah,
within two or three months of us starting the podcast,
we had someone write in about like a house party that went awry because in the bedroom bin, someone had shit in it
during the house party and we spent like a week's worth of episodes. This is when we
were doing episodes every day because it was locked down. We spent like a full week investigating
this getting like different information from everyone.
It was a plop in a bin.
We never got to the bottom of it. Imagine if it was you all along. So what happened?
Did you just take the pill? Did it ruin all your clothes? Or was it like, I'm really embarrassed
to say this, but I had to, I had to like wash the case. Like I don't know if you've seen
the picture, have you seen the picture? You need to, it was humongous.
There was a bit of piss in there as well.
I wouldn't have minded that.
But you can't do a poo without doing a piss, that's why.
Is that a thing?
Yeah, I can't do a poo without wee coming out.
But is that just you or is that like-
They can be pissed without poo
but they can't be poo without piss.
Oh, are you okay?
Oh no.
You can go for the poo and there's no wee.
I've never knew, like I've not thought, small stuff.
No, that's mental, you're lying.
I now fully believe you did a period in your suitcase.
Can I ask a really disgusting question?
Yeah, go on.
Was it a solid?
No.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, and there was loads of it.
Honestly, guys, there was loads of it.
And I know this really hurts me
because I know people are gonna be like,
it was her or it was her fella.
It wasn't us.
Why would you come out and tell the story
if you've done a shit in a suitcase? literally, it just doesn't make any sense.
And if you know me, you know, people are like, Oh, but maybe you were so drunk. Like I don't
get in those situations. I just, it just would never be me. If it's one of us, it's him.
And he's saying it wasn't him. So he would say it wasn't him. And I die with that lie.
And also you can't lie about it once. And then a bit that later, you got to die with that lie. Yeah, you can't, and also you can't lie about it once and then admit that later.
Yeah, like three years later.
You've got to die with that.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, you've got to be so drunk
you don't know you've done it.
And men do piss in mad places, especially when they're drunk.
Oh, with that.
Don't they?
Could you be so drunk?
Do that.
Close the suitcase without me hearing it.
Like surely if he's like shitting, like diarrhea
in the room where I am, that's going to wake me up.
Cause we got in together.
Then he's pooed in the suitcase,
shut it, stood it up again.
There's no noise for me to wake up.
And then just got in bed and wiped his ass in the toilet.
Cause there's no shit anywhere else.
Yeah, no, I'm starting to be sold it.
Do you know what I mean?
There will be poo residue.
There'd be something, evidence.
Like the blood in the bronco.
There'd be poo in the bed. Was that an O.J. Simpson reference? It something, evidence. Like the blood in the broncho. There'd be poo in the bed.
Was that an OJ Simpson reference?
It was, yeah.
Just blood in the broncho.
Bad time.
There'd be poo in the bed.
You couldn't, you're not pooing in a suitcase
and going to the toilet, won't be that.
This is what I'm saying.
This is what I'm saying.
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
If the glove fits, it doesn't.
And only, who's got access to the room If the glove fits, it doesn't.
And only who's got access to the room, me, Liam,
we left together, but we didn't leave together.
But unless he's walked back from Bruce shot in the suitcase
because he's clearly a mentalist,
doesn't add up and the hotel people that's it.
No, you should have spoke quietly
when you got there that first night.
Well, that's the lesson from this.
Shut up and have a shit. Shut. Shut up. Shit in your suitcase.
We got fucking old Plato.
Did you give them a review?
Well, Liam likes, he's really good with sending like wordy emails.
So he sent one.
Well, first he rang them.
He was like, I'm sorry, but this is not on.
Like someone should have been there for me to report this.
Who am I suitcase? Thank God this is 24 seven. It just sounds so stupid telling
the story for they were like, we'll check the CCTV calls and back in like 15 minutes
bearing in mind we were gone from like 6 PM to like
one. So how have you checked all those hours of CCTV and like 15 minutes? Yeah, yeah. Nothing
from our ends. I'm like, well, of course you're not going to go. Oh, actually it was Karen
Karen on the cleaning. It was a she to like, sorry about that. Yeah. You'll never uncover that.
I'll never book a boutique hotel ever again.
Ever.
That's all boutique hotels.
Oh yeah.
Get this in the open.
They're accountable.
That is a fact though.
Listen to me.
I'm only going to like chains.
Maybe when you arrived, like he's rang someone and gone, you're never going to guess who's
here. The owners of that restaurant where we had substandard service in Crosby. Was
this the same night you arrived? No, it was the last night. I was going to say, so someone
could have pooed in it in the airport. No, I'm thinking if you've landed and put your case in and put you on the up that you didn't
notice.
Imagine.
Like TSA, I don't know.
I think that would have been worse.
I'm seeing as more people in the chain.
You got to be a bit loosey goosey with your suitcase in an airport to let someone shit
in it.
Have you had this with you all times?
Apart from that guy that was squatting over it.
Yes. Pack your bag yourself, sir.
Not all of it.
Twice I've got to America and the TSA have been in it and left a note and said, we've
been in your bag.
What?
You can't do that.
That's threatening.
I did walk through with a book on serial killers once though.
Oh, but they sell them at the airport.
Yeah, the TSA in London airport, but if'd land with the Americans, give the backup a bit
of a thing.
Do they?
Yeah. Cause you went, what's the book? I went, oh, I study crime. I enjoy it. Like, right.
Okay. And then when I go back to the hotel, there was a note saying we have searched your
bag. Yeah. Been, been invasive, but.
Oh my God.
It's not the worst of it with America at the moment, is it? Be invasive in it. And
I look at a rummage through my luggage. Yeah. But I don't know. I didn't count how many
pairs of underwear were left. What you think they took some? Calvin's, you know what I
mean? The expense of them. Exactly. Maybe big TSAs. You never know. You can just shit
in someone's pants. You need new one these. You've seen that air fella who got deported
from America this week and he's now back wherever
he is in South America, but he's got 200 grand of student debt and 100 grand on a credit
card and he's just like, he just said, thank you. Thank you. USA. Fair play. Fair play.
I solving problems. A win's a win. Yeah. Breakdown? A breakdown.
What are we like today? Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
Silly boy.
I tell you what, if you're enjoying today's episode, which you should be, you should like

Oh yeah.
Comment.
Oh God, Carl and Dan really do have chemistry.
Yes.
Like, sub, comment.
Give us a five star rating.

us you want us to do well and you've got to feed the algorithm, feed it likes. We
want to be podcasters and comedians and nobbers but we have to play the game a
little bit so do like and subscribe, give a little comment, all of that. Because I
don't do this when I watch a YouTube video and you go like and subscribe I
never do it but I should, I'm a bad person, you should do it, please do it.
Just comment something nice like as I. I'm a bad person. You should do it. Please do it. You're a good person.
Just comment something nice like, add something on a lovely head.
Algorithm.
Well that's a thing though. If you've got a lovely head, comment that on every episode if you want.
It feeds the algorithm.
This is just meant to be a short one.
Now it's time to talk about my absolute favourite sponsor. It's Love Honey.
My god, they do lubes, they do costumes, they do sexy
crotchless stockings, I know that for a fact, they do dildos. Basically if you
like sexy times and doing a bit of coming you can upgrade your coming game
with Love Honey. What have you got there Carl? Here I've got the womanizer,
the original indulging whole body orgasms. It's blissfully
discreet thanks to smart silence. How silent is this though?
Sounds like a generator. You be generating cum. I've got a more traditional central glass
textured tentacle dildo. Traditional, my nan used to use one of them.
Yeah, it does look like it's from your nan's house.
Oh, but it's me tentacle.
Well, that's nice imagery, innit?
Listen, everyone likes a bit of the sexy time.
And if your partner, if you've got a birthday coming up or something,
make it a bit spicy, make it a bit naughty with love, honey.
I wonder what the next calendar event is? Whitsuntide or Veterans Day?

Mate, can you imagine what that's gonna do to her, Pussy?
And we are back.
Part four of four.
Now, Meena, you seem like a woman who's got her shit together
and can give good advice.
Yes, I am the queen of advice.
It's easy to give it in it. That's the best.
Is it though you say it's easy, but some people are absolute shitbags.
No, are you going to give it but not sticking by your own advice?
You want to know?
I am a woman of integrity. Like I, I don't tell you anything that I wouldn't tell myself.
Okay.
Interesting for a woman who's famous for lying on the telly.
and tell myself. Okay. Yeah. Interesting for the woman who's famous for lying on the telly.
Do you remember before when you said there's no one does anyone believe you in your work? And I said, no one believes me anywhere. Prime example. You have to not to yourself. Well, I'm sorry.
This is from anonymous wag wag lids. me anonymous please me and my missus have just
had our first beautiful baby in the past few months and recently
We've got three kids just the other two are ugly
Finally
She has started vlogging our entire life in an attempt to become a parenting vlog mum
and worst of all it's shite.
She's filming every nice moment we're meant to be sharing
with our daughter and is putting on a stupid voice
that she's obviously emulating from TikTok moms.
Should I say something here or just leave it
and quietly cringe watching her do it?
Do you know Ruby Frankiers?
Do you know Ruby Frankiers?
I don't think so, no.
Anyone know Ruby Frankiers?
Is the American TikTok mom?
She's the YouTube mom, yeah.
So they changed the law after that.
With kids being involved in YouTube.
Cause they essentially like groom them.
Was this on Netflix?
Yeah.
Okay.
Didn't know the name, but I've watched it.
Oh, you've watched it.
Yeah.
So what do you think about this?
So I would consider how recently she's had this baby
before you tell her what she's doing is shit. Cause she's had this baby
before you tell her what she's doing is shit. She's probably on the cusp of having
a nervous breakdown anyway.
Putting that aside, if you're saying it's shit,
personally, I'd want Liam to tell me
and I'd stop doing it.
I think she's, yeah.
So your socials must have blown up in the last year or so.
Yeah.
And you've got a daughter.
So are you protective about what goes on or are you?
Cause I've got two kids and I've like,
initially I was fine with it.
Then I got a little worried and then I've relaxed again.
It's a weird sort of dynamic that you've got to find
your comfort level with.
How much you're putting your kids online?
For me, before this, I had like 300 followers, me mates and my family.
And then after the show, I had like 70,000.
So it's like a massive going from like the first of January to 300, like 70,000.
Before that, I would like put videos up of Luna on me story and stuff like that.
And I still do, but just not as frequently.
And it's not because I'm like scared of the internet
because I just choose not to live my life like that.
Personally, I wouldn't share pictures of her
like having a bath before.
So I wouldn't do that now anyway.
That would be a weird new one, wouldn't it?
Do you know what I mean?
Nones.
Yeah, like, so I feel like sharing, sharing your kids is part of your life. Yeah. Do you know what really like bothers me? This is controversial,
but the people who share pictures of their kids and then put like a circle around them,
like Justin, don't just put the picture on. They put like a emoji over their face. Do you know what I mean?
Like an emoji or like a little, like a red heart.
And I'm like, I'm sorry if that offends anyone
because personally, if I didn't want to show her face
I just wouldn't share that picture.
What if the kids are ugly though?
Yeah.
Do you reckon that's why people are doing it?
Yeah.
I never even thought.
My kid's horrible, but you know, he's there.
Got no choice.
So, okay. Going around the round table,
I feel like you should say to her,
I think a supportive partner would say,
if you wanna do this, you need to do a better job.
Like I've done things before.
You gotta be goodry.
Yeah, like.
Make some dough.
Like otherwise, you're just sticking cameras
in our faces for nothing. Be yourself, first of all, and get good or just stop doing it.
And also, you don't need to document every single thing.
I know, but it must be addictive.
Is it though?
No, we find that.
Once you're...
We know comics who are...
Everything is on, literally every day, two posts to Instagram, the stories are like,
if you click on the story, like, oh my God,
this is one of like 40, it's just constant.
And it's because they're trying to fit.
It's not like me.
No, not at all.
There's, you use stories more than me,
but you don't post on your, like, there's a,
just so in my head, I'm like, I want people to go,
oh, Dan's posted something, it's worth sort of looking at. But I think once you get in the mentality, like, there's a, just so, in my head, I'm like, I want people to go, oh, Dan's posted something, it's worth sort of looking at.
But I think once you get in the mentality of like,
you sort of feed in the beast.
I, if Laura said, I'm going to start doing this.
What would you say?
Everyone's got to be a bit shit at something.
You've got to start it.
If everyone thought I'm going to just get into comedy
or get into music or I'm going to try start using
social media, went, oh, I'm crap to just get into comedy or get into music or I'm going to try and start using social media when I'm crap at this. Initially you'd never make it, but there is, there's
some dollar potentially at the end of this. Not when you put in a shit voice on like just,
just, just have your normal voice. I'd make Laura do a shit voice. I'd be like, I'm so
supportive of this, but you've got to do a foreign accent. I think that honestly, you can always sit on margin face. I would be so supportive of
my wife's mental breakdown. If she did it with a German voice and then I'd be posing
for it. I'd be doing tick tock dances. You're a real one. Do you know if I, if I asleep
like we're going out, I don't know if you guys have this as well.
We're going out, whether it's like a wedding or a meal.
I'm like, babe, I just want to get one nice picture.
Or Eddie, I can see him rolling his eyes,
huffing and puffing, wishing the plans get canceled
because the thought of standing in front of a camera.
He's like, I couldn't think of anything worse.
And then I won't like it.
So I'm like, we need to do it again.
He's like, I'm going home.
Yeah, we have to get the,
as long as we get one picture, she's happy.
I mean, she doesn't even, she doesn't use social media.
It's for those.
She just wants it.
Yeah, but you've seen the boyfriends on holiday.
Yeah.
That are living the life as basically
their Mrs. Publicist.
Yeah.
And it looks pretty painful.
Yeah.
There is a balance to get right, isn't it?
And that's what I'm trying to say.
Like you can do it and you should do it
if she's actually passionate about it.
But first of all, drop the weird voice.
Second of all-
No, but it's a baby and you can't talk to it
like it's one of your mates.
That's why we do baby voices.
No, but you are men too, aren't you?
Apparently it helps the baby's development.
You're hungry, are you?
Hungry?
What you want?
No.
You are meant to do that, yeah?
No, I don't speak to Luna like a baby.
I don't go, oh, you're a baby, baby, baby.
I mean, she's still, she's three,
so she's not like a 15 year old.
No, I mean, like, when she was like a baby,
you'd be like, hello, dick, how are we, lad?
No, but you are meant to.
Yeah, you still have a word.
You're meant to say things like it's a baby.
You're not meant to go, hey, right,
we're gonna teach you about your taxes,
and you're not meant to do that.
Come on, let's do some fucking grouting.
Which your shit had by the way.
So when she was a newborn, you were like, how are we?
Good, yeah?
Put it this way.
What an amazing way.
Good night sleep, Sal.
Want a coffee?
Awake are we?
Oh, you shit your kicks.
You've done a poo in your pants.
All right, you've done a poo in the pants,
at least not in the suitcase.
See you downstairs. Right, she needs feet. You want some scram? Yeah pants. All right, you've done a poo in the pants, at least you're not in the suitcase. See you downstairs.
Right, she needs feet.
You want some scram?
Yeah, food, food time.
Well, you're like, hello, you've done a poo in your pants.
That does need to stop though.
You do have to.
You do know, isn't it?
You don't talk to Sereka in either of those ways.
Oh, she's not a baby.
Exactly.
I talk to Wallace like that.
You don't go to Sereka, you're like,
girl, hungry, have a coffee.
You pooed in your pants, have you? You don't do that, do you you're like, get out, hungry, have a coffee. You're pooping your pants out, yeah?
Don't do that, do you?
No, but baby talk is because it's a baby
and you're being soft and delicate, aren't you?
But then I'm confused, is she surely talking to the camera?
Yeah, did it say voiceover?
I think she's doing what she thinks
is the parent influence of voice.
Like a mummy voice.
Hey guys, we've just woken up. Oh no, then, no, go to the toilet in the bin influence of voice. Like a mummy voice. Hey guys, we've just woken up.
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

from school that I follow still on Instagram
have started doing this.
Yeah.
They got a kid together.
Yeah.
The four of them.
That's like an update on three men and a little baby.
Four women from real.
But yeah, they're all like vlogging, like going to the zoo. And you just, there's
just like, it's the voice. It is the voiceover. They're all going like, we took, we took Mark
Mark. No, this is how you start it. No, they all start. Give me a place. Um, what do you
mean? Just give me a place to go. Come with us to Castle Street.
That's where everyone starts. Come with us. Why? You're not a video. I just turn it off.
Come with us. Come with us. We went to Chester. That's how the all started. Come with us to
come with me to that's the that's the voice you're saying. Yeah. Come with me to the breakfast
by our so we had sausages. That's what it is
though, isn't it? I want you to start doing it now, Carl. I think you'd be a great influencer.
Come with us to the breakfast by ours or we had sausages. End of video. Come with us to Quick
Fifth for the second time this month. No, manna bee, come with me to the living room because I'm
not leaving the fucking house. I'm putting the Simpsons on. Come with me to Taskers,
we're going to do a little bit of a makeover in the car.
I know, but it could, this stuff can go big.
It can.
And then we're da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
I just want my wife to bring some money and there's a German...
Are you giving your kids the money though?
Are you on glue?
Well that's how the law changed.
What, what, what did you, what did you, right?
Are they paying part of the bills?
Honey Boo Boo's my, I was keeping all the money.
Honey Boo Boo was skinned.
Who the fucking hell is Honey Boo Boo?
Do you not know Honey Boo Boo?
You don't know Honey Boo Boo?
What?
Do you not know Honey Boo Boo?
Come on.
Was that the kid who got the suitcase?
Chubby girl.
I know, I know the other kid who,
Who had the suitcase?
It's a wife swap.
What?
Oh no. The one about the bacon.
Yeah. I'll give them the money if they are paying rent and bills. Yeah. No, no, no. What
it is is when you get to a certain age, you've got to put money, something like a certain
percentage of what you make from YouTube in a trust fund for the kids who are on the screen.
Who's checking it? That's yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Just get a sound bank manager. I'm not
saying I do that, but I'm just like, who's checking, mate? Certainly not the Motability
Fraud Department. Oh yeah, I know. And my mum's friend is evidence of that. If they're making,
okay, so if you're making money off your kids online, you are now legally obliged to put some
money away.
And you can ask for their share of the bill at Pizza Hut.
So you had the kids meal, didn't you?
You're earning, we're all earning more, aren't we?
I'd be like, yeah, but you've got all the money because I'm six.
So take it out of my pot meat.
Yeah, you can't go to Pizza Hut, I'll be back on Amazines and pay that bill.
It's got a name, it's something trust. You've got to put it into a trust.
No, there's like a specific, it's named after a kid actor.
Honey Boo Boo Trust Fund.
She employed them. They were employees of her company, unpaid because they were kids.
Oh, right. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Look, my Etta's got a bank card with a, with a, with a pocket money on.
Yeah. So if that was a little bit of YouTube money going there, then yeah. What's your uncle? Look, my Etta's got a bank card with a pocket money on.
So if that was a little bit of YouTube money going there.
Then what's your uncle?
It's called a Coogan account.
15% is saved and available to them
when they reach adulthood.
Absolutely fine.
15% is so low.
The money Laura's gonna be making.
Ah, welcome.
Oh my God, welcome to Castle Street.
It's gonna be a real good time.
She can't take Laura's money. Come with us to Castle Street. Come, welcome to Castle Street. You can't really do that. She can't take Laura's money.
Come with us to Castle Street.
Come with us to Castle Street.
Come on, go in the zoo.
Weird, but for the woman who lives in Chester.
We feel need to look at Google Maps.
Google.
That's Google.
Emma says, lads, I need some advice.
I've been planning on engaging to my Mrs. later this year on holiday.
Proposing.
Also, what a way of writing that as a sentence.
Proposing is the word.
I've been planning on engaging to my Mrs.
Are you married, Mina?
Yes, I am.
I'm a married woman.
I don't know why I needed to.
All right.
Well, well, Mina.
We knew the second bit.
Mina, I'll back off then.
Shorted the ring, a private dinner and a photographer. I need it. All right. Well, well, we knew the second bit. I'll back off. Yeah.
Shorted the ring, a private dinner and a photographer.
And obviously with all the communications,
I've been a little protective of my phone.
Also he's set it all up, but he's doing it properly.
Quite common.
Got a photographer.
Quite common.
So he's been leaving his phone face down on the table
and always having it on me.
So she doesn't see a message or email she isn't supposed to.
Yesterday, she clearly got a little paranoid and went through my phone while
I was asleep. She found pictures of the ring etc and told me when I woke up.
What? Is she a dickhead? She was buzzing but I got a bit defensive told her if she
doesn't trust me then I'll call off the engagement. Yes, you've not engaged yet.
And we haven't spoken since. What should I do here? I obviously do still want to marry her, but I was pissed off and said something I shouldn't have.
How do I get it back on track? Is there any way to make it a surprise again? This is dead common,
you know. What did he say that he shouldn't have? No, like what is it? Oh, you don't trust me.
He's right. Why are you going through, why are you going through the spoon? Because he's been acting as
though she's,
because you do act weird, I remember doing it
when I had the, like building up to it,
you start acting shifty,
because I'm texting her, mate, going,
oh, blah, blah, blah, I'm texting the jeweler.
So like, I don't want you to see her.
But then she's like, oh, your pictures of tits on there.
And I'm like, there isn't pictures of tits.
I wonder what percent of women who've been proposed to
in the sort of traditional like surprise, have no, you're
going to marry a magician. You know the risk. I wonder how many women have found the ring
because men are like, I'll hide it now. I'm good at hiding and women are good at finding,
you know, all these stereotypes that we know of.
I did me mom's.
Did you?
I just went, mom take that.
If she went, mommy, mom's always looking for shit,
then if she finds it.
I reckon a lot of women have found the ring
and gone, all right, cool, act surprised.
Like that's the game, innit?
Yeah.
It's all a little bit of panto.
See, I actually, I had no idea.
I had no idea, but I'm going to tell you this.
I've never told Liam this.
We got engaged in what, 2017?
And I've never told him this,
but he's going to listen to it.
He's going to know.
So we'd gone to Bongo's Bingo two weeks before Christmas
with his, he's got, he's one of three boys, his two brothers.
And when we went home that night, he was like,
I'm going to marry
you. But the way he said it, it wasn't just like a girl one day, I'm going to marry you.
Like I was like, he's going to propose to me then on Christmas day, he proposed. So
he actually told me so in my house, bingo does that to you though. I've told a few people
I'm going to marry them. I've been married 11 years. Bongo's bingo gets you in a place. That's the only like clue that I had, but
I never found the ring or anything like that. Um, but I don't know. I feel like you can't
go through someone's phone. No, I'd rather not. If there's something on there that I
don't want to see seeing it's going to be horrible. I'd rather not see. That's how I live my life. Yeah, don't show me it then.
Ignorance is bliss.
Yeah, but like, I'll find out in the end.
You understand the anxiety of it
and she's gone hard, he's being suspicious, whatever.
What she should have done.
Just kept a big trap shut.
Yeah, she's gone through, found out that she was a knobhead,
was like, had so far the wrong end of the stick
and breached the trust. That's then your, that's your cross to bear. was like had so far the wrong end of the stick
and breach the trust.
That's then your cross to bear.
She should have locked the phone and gone,
oh, thank God.
But like I can't get to myself.
And then shut your mouth, I'm going to bed going,
yes, girls, I'm getting married.
That might have woke him up though.
So don't necessarily do that.
Well, like why would you, there's some little white lies.
That's like me going to Liam on Christmas day
after he proposed.
Yeah, you told me after Bongo's been gone.
Like why?
Like why?
Just shut up.
I mean, I've told him now.
Just wait till you're on a massive podcast
and do it that way.
Also, he's really making the effort.
He's like booked a table.
He's got a photographer.
He's obviously really into it and he's trying.
She shouldn't have said anything to me. She shouldn't have said anything to him.
She shouldn't have said anything.
And she's fucked us.
But at this stage, you've obviously acted
like you really pissed off
and you haven't spoke for a few days and whatever.
I think you need to speak to him,
like just be dead, dead honest and go,
hey, I really resent the fact you went through my phone.
Please never do that again.
I'd never do that.
But at the same time, give a little olive branch of,
I understand why you'd have,
I understand that being acting suspicious.
And I understand that that has made you feel insecure
and anxious and that's why you've done it.
Cause I know you're not the type of person
who'd do that normally.
But that still doesn't make it okay.
You still shouldn't have done it.
And now you know for sure you shouldn't have done it.
And you're gonna have to just wait a while
cause I'm not proposing for like a few months now.
And you're not gonna see it coming.
And then she'll be like, oh, I like, yeah, no worries.
And then you propose the next day.
Cause that's when she's definitely.
Oh, the second she stops crying.
Well, this happens to me.
She'll be crying forever.
This happened to me with the ring in the car.
Remember what I said?
Did she find the ring?
I wanted to find the ring size, but it's difficult.
So I took one of her rings out of her jewelry box
and I was like, I'll take it to the jewelers,
give me, I'll get the size, take it back, no worries.
But it was a bank holiday Monday, so the jewelers was shut.
So not bad.
I put it in the thing in my car.
Later on, I think I'm driving us to the gym and she went, why is my ring there?
I know why is there a ring there? And I went, I don't know. It's yours.
And she went, yeah, but why I haven't put it there.
And I went, oh, I don't know. I went, that's weird.
And it may be like put it down. She's like, I'm more that ring for ages.
Like, why is and I was like, I don't know.
I'm driving long. She's like, it's just weird.
And I stopped and went, and you tell know your rings size, don't I?
Been together 13 years, haven't we?
And she was like, right.
I went, okay.
I mean, moved on.
And, but she went, I'm a nobbed, sorry.
Now it's going to be another 13 years.
She wasn't a nobbed, was she?
Like that initial reaction.
Yeah.
But I was driving, going, I don't know.
Yeah.
Basically going, hey.
And she was like, this is just mad.
I was like, you're not getting the signals here.
So I stopped the car and went, come on,
you know what's going on here, don't we?
I need your rings.
And then she wasn't surprised.
We've been together long enough.
She knew I was going to propose.
It was common, yeah.
Yeah.
But that's different, I suppose,
if you've not been together as long as us.
Yeah.
One more and then we'll get out of here.
James Mahoney says, need some advice.
In a few months, I'm going to marry my beautiful partner.
Like some of you, I enjoy indulging in a cheeky cigar
at weddings and big events.
And I really want to have one at my own wedding.
However, when I mentioned this to my fiance,
she said that the wedding night sex will be off the table
if I had a cigar at the wedding.
So the question is, do I give up something
I'd enjoy at my own wedding in order to be allowed
to enjoy something else afterwards.
That's a bit extreme.
Light up the cigar the second you come.
And then get all the boys in with their cigars.
Let's just look cool.
Ten you asleep.
Look satisfied.
I don't smoke.
I ate smoke actively.
I had a cigar at my wedding on Saturday and I absolutely
loved it. Cause it was the boys sharing our man stupidness on the roof.
Yeah. Where are you at with this, Meena? When the boys try and do like the like gangster
cigar bit.
The word that, that gave me the ick a bit. I'm sorry. It was so icky. It was icky as
fuck, but it was fun.
No, no. When you said gangster,
that's what was making me iffy, not the cigar thing. Let's just clarify that. Just don't say
that again. I wasn't, I wasn't, I'm aware that it's like a bit cringe. I think even the lads doing
it at the time are a bit like, because they don't, they know what they're doing. He's pulling his shirt on last week and he's like, I look gangster in there.
I personally love when a group of lads have something for themselves. Like, cause I feel
like girls, we have loads of things that are for us. Like getting ready is a whole experience.
Lads don't really have that. You don't get ready with the lads. You get ready and you
turn up wherever you turn up. So I think if he wants to have a Scott, I don't smoke.
And personally, I don't like Liam smoking.
I know I'm aware that when he's really drunk,
sometimes it happens not in my company.
I'm not asked as long as you're not like-
It's not smoking, it's cigar with the boys.
It's different.
It's like an experience time.
Also James, I don't know if you're banging
on your wedding night anyway.
I never. By the end of
the night, you're so tired and emotionally drained. Like we just got back and got a takeaway
and just went to bed on our wedding night. It's not like you're a couple that haven't
had sex yet.
Before, yeah.
Well, it's meant to be, you know, you weren't legally married until it was consummated.
They used to make people watch, didn't they? The wives of her with the eighth had to make
people watch and they'd be like What? The wives of him with the eight had make people watch
and them shagging with the eight,
they'd be like, hey, we're now married.
But who's watching?
Like your mates or your mom?
People in court.
All his mates.
Come round, get the sugar out.
Who's, who's said before, we've got man things.
What's the, so I asked Sereka this,
what's the woman version of going to match?
Cause we get to all go to match
and shout and drink beer and sing songs.
Going to Lush.
Is it bottomless brunch?
I think it is bottomless brunch.
I, well, my craziest moments have happened
after bottomless brunch.
Yeah, I think that's the girls.
Like horrendous thrown up on someone's driveway
that is not my house.
Well, for it to be going to match,
it has to be something like you can do
on an almost weekly basis, don't it?
I think we have loads of things, like for me.
No, but where you can be like viscerally emotional, like shout and scream.
Maybe with the
that's cause like they're in the shower.
That's every day.
The girls shout and scream in the shower like this.
All of them go, ah, she's showering again.
I'm trying to think what the equivalent of I think I think so.
My partner Taylor Swift was one of them.
I am the biggest Swifty in the world.
Yeah.
What did you say?
She said go to Taylor Swift.
Going to Taylor Swift is the equivalent
to going to the match.
Yeah, because she got to the thing you did once last year
for the maybe only time in your life.
When she was there, she went,
this is like me going to match times a million.
I agree.
It's the only way I could,
I mean, it was probably better than any match
you've ever, ever seen.
The Eros Tour was the best.
We were there. We hadn't went.
Did you love it? It was all right.
All right. You didn't deserve to be there.
He wouldn't get a season ticket.
Like, I... Yeah. I don't think any art...
at all comes close to the pinnacle of moments that sports gives you.
No.
There's no song film like painting anything
that gives you like the moments of like a 90th minute winner.
No.
I've never looked at a paint.
I genuinely think two weeks time I'm gonna feel that.
I really do.
Do you want to ask off Steve Olly that ball in?
I've never looked at a paint and it made that noise.
Yeah.
I think a good concert, if it's someone that you've listened to for years,
like bearing in mind, I've listened to Taylor Swift more than half of my life, getting to
watch her perform songs that had she not done an era's tour, which is all their albums,
I would have never seen those albums. Like it, I cried at like 16 different points in
that three hour concert.
Oh my, my. It was cute for the bar, it was big wasn't it? As soon as you could. I didn't go to the toilet. I didn't go to the bar, I didn at like 16 different points in that three hour. Oh my, my, I was big on it.
As soon as you go to the toilet, I didn't go to the bar, didn't go to the toilet.
We had to go to the toilet for the girls cause he was like, I'm not missing a second of this.
You had to go to the toilet for the girl.
It was mad.
She was pissing in a bottle.
I had to go empty into the, she's got a phone for it.
The second Taylor came out, she burst.
I'll cry.
Yeah. I was like, what's the top
introduction was wild. Like it was the whole builds up the medley of the songs. And then
it's like those pink things that were like fans opened up and gave birth to a fucking
I was loved. I went as love it. I dressed up as love it. And that was all the fair songs
I was done. You cried 16 times, six, not 16. And I remember all the points. It
does sound like watching Everton though. I don't give them me tears. I go in there and
just scowl for 90 minutes and leave. What have you got like that? Um, had a more, a
better, a more great, had a more, a better that life. He doesn't want it. I'm all about it. I'm all about it. I'm all about it. I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it.
I'm all about it. I'm all about it. I'm all about it. Cause I paid like 400 pounds for the Anfield ticket.
So I was like dead close.
I could see her.
She basically touched me.
She didn't.
And then Poland was just like a standard ticket,
but we went the night before to the stadium.
And it was like being inside, but outside.
So it's like, I got to see her three times.
It was brilliant.
Absolutely brilliant.
I loved it.
That's an episode, ladies and gents. Thanks very much for coming in, Meena. Thanks for having me. Have you got anything
coming up you want to plug? I know you're on the radio at the moment. Do you want to
tell people where they can listen to you and stuff? I suppose it would be BBC sounds because
I'm not on the radio currently. Okay. I did May, early breakfast and that was a lot of
fun. So hopefully I get to do more stuff. And what are your socials mean? Mina Shannon, no dots, no underscores.
