Starting point is 00:04:17 Okay, thanks. There just isn't enough top of my head with this one, is it? Is this one of the kits that didn't use to fit you? It's one of my DHGate one. ordered them a year ago, spent about 80 quid, got up 400 shirts from China, and I was very aspirational in the ordering. I was like, I know they fit tight, but I'm about to lose some weight. 13 months later, yes, I have lost some weight,
Starting point is 00:04:39 and I'm going to be showcasing them and then possibly... What are you losing weight for? What are you doing the gym stuff for? What's the point? Aesthetics? Is it just to look better than feel yourself? Because I've been... I think we just talked about this,
Starting point is 00:04:55 didn't we? I've been doing weights to feel stronger and get shoulders more. Like, what's the point in? Oh, smash more pus.
Starting point is 00:05:02 I've got a purple cabbage at home. No, but genuinely, like, I am all with you. Oh, sorry, I've been doing gardening.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Oh, you thought I meant Laura's no. I am. Lovely vagina. Is it? Can I just say, I hope you were just going to get caught
Starting point is 00:05:21 in your own thoughts and miss it? The answer is, Yes, Dan, move on. I just don't think it needs to comment it. It's mine. Whether I like it or not. It's definitely hate.
Starting point is 00:05:30 No, it's a, listen, it's a live sentence to that, bus, bus, and I am happy. But this, take me to jail. Are you, because a lot of people lose weight and put beef on, either, like, to attract more women or for, like, a movie role. Well, Evan, I'm really, I'm really glad you asked. One, I do want to attract more women. And they have them be like, fuck, and I'll down, look at you.
Starting point is 00:05:53 And I'll be like, back off. but I'm also in the new Mission Impossible Are you the next Batman? Yeah Oh yeah I'm sorry Batman
Starting point is 00:06:01 I mispronounced Batman It's called The White Night Rises Batman impossible Just me with a fucking Union Jackard You know why Who's Batman again
Starting point is 00:06:12 What's his name? Robert Patton Bruce where you? No, the actor Christine Bail He's got at that isn't he? He's gonna die
Starting point is 00:06:20 He's got that like He's a method He lost loads For the machinist Machinist, yeah. Do you think you could do that? If you... What, to Dallas Buyers Club myself?
Starting point is 00:06:30 Yeah, but like if you got offered that role now, like genuinely, like if they made Dallas Buyers Club too, this time it's Climidia or whatever. Do you lose as much weight? They've gone a lot more playful, haven't they? In the sequel, they've got a playerful. Cancer then, right? Alim.
Starting point is 00:06:49 You know what? We'll go back to Climidia. This time it's cancer. house he keeps surviving in fact he doesn't yeah quite famously
Starting point is 00:06:58 yeah you're not playing Matthew McConahey he ain't buying no more oh I'm playing me I'm not playing Matthew McConaugh all right all right all right hang on you're dead mate
Starting point is 00:07:07 oh are you breaking the fourth wall within the movie of all the movie Matthew McConaughey just does his own movie quote all atop I don't know if you've ever watch a Matthew McConaughey
Starting point is 00:07:20 film but he name checks himself a lot if Matthew McCona Hayes. Do you reckon you could lose another, like, six stone? What I'm saying is, would you? So, like, someone comes in and goes, we're making Dallas Byers Clubs too, and it's, like, bad AIDS this time. Like, fucking...
Starting point is 00:07:34 This time, it's bad aid. These taglines write themselves, right? It's like Ice Age, too. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Heavy AIDS? Oh, that'd be awful if you got fatter and died. Well, that's the...
Starting point is 00:07:47 What I'm asking is, and they come to you and they go, right, there's the script. Right. Your character is 45 stone when he gets eight. Right. So we need you to put on. 32.
Starting point is 00:07:59 32 stone. Right. And then lose. 38, yeah. So you're down to seven. But like, you know, six months. This is going to be the biggest movie of 2029.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Right. What's the limit on OZemPEC? How much can you actually inject into your eyeballs? But they can't get insurance for OZMPICs. You've got to do it to starve. Oh, it's got to be, oh, natural. You look like a flying squirrel. What'd you do it?
Starting point is 00:08:25 Can you be my agent for this? How much are we talking? They come initially with 6 mil. Whoa. It's the biggest movie of 2029 is? He's only getting 6 mil. By the way, by the way, if they come initially with 6 mil, there won't be anything after that.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Because I'll say, yes, fam. What? But the big movie in 2020, you want surely 10. The mistake you're making there, Carl is. It's not a household name. I am an unknown. Are you the main lead? Is he the main lead?
Starting point is 00:08:54 Yeah, they've gone rogue. They've gone like, this is England. Do you know what? You've been sacked. We were told you studied drama at Newcastle uni. So that's why we're after you. Well, massively misinformed,
Starting point is 00:09:04 but I'll take the money. I'm sorry, my... Politics. I will... Do you think there was drama as well? You've done drama. He did theatre club. Theater after the one.
Starting point is 00:09:12 I thought you had a drama degree? No. I don't have any degree. And seen. You didn't... What? The amount I've... talked about myself and it's just washed of it.
Starting point is 00:09:23 Yeah, you're nuns from your common school. Not right? You didn't graduate. See, Mary Fugwit. What was it called? You didn't graduate? Burnley. No.
Starting point is 00:09:33 I got back to my film wrong. Dan, um, the Rock got paid $23.5 million for Jamanji. And you're trying to fob me off with six million? Just fucking around the jungle. And 15% of the gross of the film. Oh, me. I want some of that fork in. This time it's bad age.
Starting point is 00:09:51 The highest paid actor in Hollywood is near the Rock, DeWain. Well, I'm not a paid actor at all, so I think six million I'll take. I'll get you 10, but I want two. Yeah, about Simba from the Lion King. Sold. Is he dead?
Starting point is 00:10:03 What did he get? As he's a cartoon. So the young lad, who did the singing. Did the singing for the young Simba with the initial Lion King. He got offered like, I think it was like...
Starting point is 00:10:16 A million. A million quid. And his mum was like, no. Just give us two percent. of the thing and like obviously I think his son was like you want me me she was like shut up
Starting point is 00:10:28 oh she's his scosa um he Alec Guinness Obi-Won Kenobi went no no don't pay me that shit for because they were paying crap fee for Star Wars in 77 the original wasn't expected to be a hit at all I think people were getting like 200 grand
Starting point is 00:10:43 150 grand and he was like no take a it's literally like 1% of he was the famous one in Star Wars it was like it's something like No, that's, that's George Lucas. Let me find out. No, I think it is merch, isn't it? No, that's George Lucas.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Oh, right, okay. I thought it was a pence per cent of the merch. Initial salary of $150,000, $2.25% of the back-end film profits. I don't know if that's the porn or what. Star-ha-hors. So his mum, his mom, Simba's, the lad who sang in Lanking, his mum was like a bit show-busy and fucking saw what was coming.
Starting point is 00:11:20 So what did he get? Really smart. One or two percent of the Lion King. Sick. Nice. What were you? He was offered two million up front. He got $100,000 plus royalties.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Which has worked out at like $15, $20 million or something mental, hasn't it? So. Jason Weaver. Carl, maybe we need to renegotiate for the Dallas Buyers Club too. You want, I'll take 200,000. up front. 85% of the gross. No, just the merch.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Listen, let me try. Just the merch. Yeah, thanks. You just walk around with T-shirt saying I've got the bad heat. Oh my God, come on.
Starting point is 00:12:02 You're really not seeing the long game. Wait till you see those skinny little dolls selling hotcakes. They'll be like the new Buzz Light here, mate. Yeah, they've got hats. Yeah, I'm into it. I get you, I don't want to me. You'd be coming away with 50.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Could, what, so you've got to put on, you've got to put on 30, stone. Yeah. And then lose 35. What timeline are you giving me on this? How, how? Nine months.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Nine, full term. Wow. Right. I don't reckon you could physically put on. If a woman can grow a baby and a pussy, you can put 30 stone on and lose it again. That's an old Greek,
Starting point is 00:12:37 say. Do you reckon you could put 30 stone on? With any timeline. Not where the fucking workouts on. I don't reckon I could. With any time line. Obviously, we're being a bit silly in our hypothetical. Say, like, we'll come back to him five years.
Starting point is 00:12:48 If you put 30 stone on that? Oh, yeah. Five years? No, if you've got, if you're 40-odd stone, 45 stone, we'll give you a mill. I'm going to start drinking like... Well, I wouldn't do it for the mill. Okay, we'd give you 10 mil.
Starting point is 00:13:01 I wouldn't do it for 10 mil. What's the most you can put on weight-wise? I don't have the average heaviest ever person. No, no. How quickly can the body, like, put weight on? Because there is a, there's going to be a physical limitation. Like, I could be having Oreo shakes from five guys seven times a day. Apparently, one pound a week is healthy.
Starting point is 00:13:19 to put on. Yeah, but what if you're trying? I don't think they're recommending it, so it doesn't really give you a... No, I don't. Even one pound a week. It's possible to gain five pounds in a week, though most of it would be water weight and not fat.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Okay, so let's even say three. Let's go right down the middle. That's £150 a year, which is 10 stone. It's nearly 11 stone. I'm not saying you can... I don't think I'd love food that much. No, but if it was you, if you offered me like a bill, I'd do it.
Starting point is 00:13:54 But like, you've ruined your life, though. No, because you've ruined your five years. Yeah, you get surgery or you get. Yeah, but you're not reckon after that five years, you're still a bit fucked, aren't you? Yeah, but I've got a bill. Yeah, which is why I want a bill and not a mill or 10 mil, because at a million pound, you're offering me 200 grand a year
Starting point is 00:14:12 to do nothing but eat. Oh, Sam, that's your quality of life, though, as we get to roll you into the show. studio, like... You'd be like pizza dough all the fucking flat? I'm not gonna do it, by the way. I'm 44.
Starting point is 00:14:27 I don't think my heart survives that hammering. It's not just about putting the weight on the amount of fat that's pumping through your heart. They're gonna kill Denny. Yeah. I won't kill me. And then you want to lose it all.
Starting point is 00:14:39 I could chin milkshakes for... If it was... Yeah, milkshakes, I don't make him as a limer. They're dirty. They're so good. I had one the other day from five guys. It's the best one. What flavor of life? Dead simple.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Vanilla and Oreo. Dead simple. Yeah. That's it. Right. And then I dip my burger in it. Oh. And the chips.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Class. Because it's like an ice cream milkshake. It's properly made. That literally turned me on a little bit because I'm in a Cal Calder. It's a burger in it. Yeah. I've never done that before and I can heartily recommend it. But chocolate and burger?
Starting point is 00:15:08 It's not chocolate, is it? Oreo. Oreo's not chocolate. What is it? It's like dark biscuit. It's like American bourbon biscuit, isn't it? Yeah, but it's... Yeah, but bourbon is chocolate.
Starting point is 00:15:17 It's chocolate E. No, there's chocolate in a bourbon. Yeah, it's probably got some coke up. It's not chocolate, though, but also, I imagine if you put a bit of chocolate on a burger. I'd dip it in the chocolate milkshake, it'd be fine. The sweet and savoury of it, have you done the chips in the milkshake? Yeah, I've done the chips.
Starting point is 00:15:31 And it's nice, isn't it? No, I don't like it. Why? I don't know. You're weird, you know. Yeah, I'm weird. It's just not my thing. And that freaked me out.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I couldn't do the burger thing. Yeah, I just gave it a go, and I enjoyed it? Finn versus Food! You wouldn't dip like a KFC burger, isn't it? Can we do it? Finn versus food and make you eat a cheese? Oh, no, we can't. He's a fucking vegetarian.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Good for you. Yeah. We should that mix and had to eat things, though. Yeah. Oh, why? Because you're more entertaining. But he's not that fussy. What?
Starting point is 00:16:03 It's just the thing is the things that I don't like, I really react badly to. Like when you had that mince? Oh, yeah. When I accidentally ate that mints, that made me feel it ill for the rest of the day. When there was like mince meat, swilling around your stomach.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Yeah. And it went down your throat. We got stuck a bit. Well, I got a bit adventurous when we went for that big meal in Turkey and I had octopus. And then... Some veggie, this one.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Yeah, and I was like... I've had octopus before, I can do it. I'm a vegetarian, apart from fried chicken and octopus. And I tried it and then I had it in my mouth. And then I spent... You just didn't notice, but I just like... At the table. I thought you were just gans.
Starting point is 00:16:38 You've also got some of the same like childlike fussiness that I remember that I'm sort of over now, mainly. But we had a meal recently. which will be documented on an upcoming special where I put some of my food that you won't eat on the plate where you were eating because we had to finish
Starting point is 00:16:57 because I didn't want to offend someone and it touched the food and you went that whole side of the plate's contaminated and I was like oh there it is I remember that you can't yeah it's like I've ordered nachos before and they've had bacon on and they've gone away and just taken the bacon off because I've gone I didn't ask for meat
Starting point is 00:17:17 and I was like, no, I can't eat any of that now. Do you know what I'd do in that situation if I was you? This is who I am. Because I'd know they're going to do that. Yeah. So I'd go, when they brought it over, I wouldn't say, oh, you've got that wrong. If I was like heavily veggie autistic like you are, I'd be like, I wouldn't be like, oh, you've got that wrong. I'd go, I love to do his favour.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Can we have another portion of this exactly the same, but just none of the bacon? Can we just have that? And then when they brought that over, I'd go, yeah, you got that wrong. And he had the old switch to do. and you throw it at them. Yeah. If you're a restaurant and you're taking meat off
Starting point is 00:17:51 an order that wasn't meant have meat on, that's shit. That's bad for... And that's why I've got... Like, I'm sure there'll be a couple of people's initial reaction to that. I'll be like,
Starting point is 00:17:59 oh, fucking Adam, where there's fucking minimum wage, fucking... Yeah, they got something wrong and it's veg... And they will just go and take the meat off. They will.
Starting point is 00:18:07 So I'm just making sure they can't. I'm not taking that out of people's wages, though, are they? No, that's a... That's the company thing. That surely you go, well, that's wrong. But you get a set amount
Starting point is 00:18:15 to waste a day in hospitality. You also can't, you can't take anything out of people's wages like that legally without it being like a... If they're giving food away, like if they're giving foods, they can do that because they're breaking the law, they're breaking rules and stuff.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Right. But you can't... Mistakes. They just retrain you. Yeah, they have to retrain you. They can give you a written warning and go, oh, you've made a mistake. Don't do that again because then you'll get a final warning and go. Good.
Starting point is 00:18:41 I can't dock, yeah. I got banned last week in a restaurant and I had to fill the... accident booking, which was the sexiest thing I've ever done. You want? I burnt my finger. And the manager came over and went,
Starting point is 00:18:53 can you fill the accident book in? I was like, this is so sexy. A really hot, hot plate. Had they warned you, it was a hot plate? No, so it was scallops. And they were in the shell.
Starting point is 00:19:04 And I went to pass one to the end, grabbed it, and the shell had been in the oven. And just fucked me finger up badly. I was like, I didn't tell no one. I just kept it in a glass of water. I should just get over there.
Starting point is 00:19:14 And I mentioned, you're okay? I was like, I've just burnt my finger, it's fine. He's like, I'll get you some gel. I'm like, oh, nice one. The jail propped, and he went, I do need you to fill this in now though, what happened? I was like, I grabbed the shell.
Starting point is 00:19:25 It was like, it was not made up, he went, did the server tell you not to grab the shell? I was like, well, no. He's like, right, okay. So they'll just get retrained. Don't get in trouble. Or trained. They might not have even been told.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Have they done Scollop 101? Yeah, clearly not. Scarlop's a great. Did you get an ouch sticker? Because that's what they do at my kids' primary school. If anything goes in, an incident book, they get a little
Starting point is 00:19:46 ouch sticker. This was an adult restaurant. Did anyone kiss it better? The Amy's from three a round of champagne. That's like a human sticker. A grown-up sticker, in it?
Starting point is 00:19:55 Yeah. I am... Champagne and scallops? I had a fucking... I had an absolute belt of an evening last night, you know? Tell us about it, baby.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Lefty, yeah? Went to M&S, got all the stuff to make a Guinness stew. Sorry, what? Have you ever had stew? Yes, I eat it all the time. It's something that I enjoy.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Mmm, Scouse, Mmm, stew, all of those juices and unnamed things. Ah, let's not do it for Dan versus food because it's something I enjoy too much. It was Scouse Geto Gore.

Starting point is 00:22:31 Oven safe. Yeah. You get 500 grams-ish. You can have a bit more of. Oh, no, we're talking. Of diced beef. Oh. On a medium heat.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Oh, medium. With some olive oil. just get the meat brown you're not cooking it you're just browning it right you've heard it brown or pink then yeah you take the beef out once it's brown but leave all of its juices and all the oil in yeah you add in your onions your celery oh i love them and a bit of garlic right right for flavor sweat them down get them nice and sweaty yeah yeah add a bit of flour and a bit of tomato paste, get all that wazzo. Yeah, yeah. What's it?
Starting point is 00:23:13 What's it? Then add some rich beef stock in. OXO. Yeah? Sure. Right? Then put your meat back in and a load of cadets back in. Oh, carrots.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Some dry seasoned, my choice. Salt, pepper, onion granules and thyme. Right. Right? Bring that to a nice little boil. Then take it off. Put it in the oven on the lowest temperature you want. Two.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Right? Two agree. So I had it on 140 degrees. Take a while, and then leave it in for about two hours. And then about an hour, about an hour and a half, two hours before you want to eat it.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Take it back out and add a load of potatoes into it as well. Oh, there you go. Something I actually like. Oh, and also when you put the beef stock in initially, you also put a full can of Guinness in. Oh, yeah. And then he just described as stew
Starting point is 00:24:05 and forgot the Guinness. So that's a guinea, yeah. Also put, isn't outside warmer than two? you're essentially cooling it down in the oven. No, but I'll go for one, I'll listen to him. Can you put Captain Morgan's in? Can you do like a spice rum stew? You can do a rum stew, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Has been silly, can you really? Of course you can put whatever. Like, this is the thing about cooking. You can put whatever you want in anything. It just might taste audible. That is true. You can put vodka pasta is popular, isn't it? The vodka sauce.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Yeah. You can put that pot you over? Yeah. But I put that in the oven at half four yesterday. Right. Went to gym. come back from the gym an hour and a half later
Starting point is 00:24:43 put all the spuds in and it lowered it down to like 1.30 then my Mrs. text me and was like do you mind picking me up from work I'll be done at 7 o'clock and I was like well I'll just go
Starting point is 00:24:54 and I'll go and have a pint wait for this finish I got there at 10 7 chinned a pint she come and met me another pint went and had another pint and then another pint
Starting point is 00:25:04 four pints got a lift home went into the kitchen that the got someone else's car they yeah and it'd been in
Starting point is 00:25:20 for five hours at this point it was delicious and it was burnt you can't burn a stew not in a Dutch oven mate stop saying Dutch oven that's what it's called that's farting and making your missus breathing
Starting point is 00:25:31 that's the other way right death came fish what came fish they didn't go oh we'll name our pans after the fart under the duvet move yeah most people
Starting point is 00:25:39 People when you say Dutch oven aren't thinking of La Crucée. Yeah, they are. No. No, they're not. Everyone's thinking of fire. We were vegetating and two food gins. Are you love? Aya.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Aya. We're just here for some Dutch ovens? Nah. No, the pans? Oh, I thought you made a fire. I think, Carl, what you've done there is taking it out of context. If you walk into La Crucée, the shop, the outlet shop, and Cheshire Oaks and go, I'm here for a Dutch oven.
Starting point is 00:26:03 I think they have every right to be like, yeah, we provide those and not expect to fire at your hands. We're going to do it in the comments. We're going to do it in the comments. We're going to. We're going to do a poll. When you hear Dutch oven, what is the first thing you think of? Garlish with some parsley.
Starting point is 00:26:15 That looks like an advert. Yeah. I don't want to eat your food all the time, but it does look fucking good. It was a fucking, oh, the good of stew, you know. Would you ever have perpetual stew? What?
Starting point is 00:26:31 Petual stew? Perpetual stew. But it never ends. So it's that Chinese stew or whatever where they just have stew on for 200 years. Oh, is it like... It's like a big bowl, not a big bowl, but like a big bowl,
Starting point is 00:26:45 and they have stew and they're just adding stuff to it. And then they eat from it. They eat from it, but they never empty it or wash it. Do you know, if you rebuild the ship, is it still the same stew? Oh, yeah, when's their new stew? But it's always on the boil. Yeah. Consistently.
Starting point is 00:26:58 What if you actually get, so this is the thing... Because what you've just asked there is, before I sort of got into this, was my question, like, well, obviously, if you're cooking for fucking five hours, it's going to be burned. if you've got a lid on something like the lid was on the pan as long as there's water in it it won't burn
Starting point is 00:27:16 because it'll just reduce well no it won't reduce if the lid's on it won't reduce because the steam comes off the food hits the pan lid cools becomes water again and goes back into the oh shit and then to reduce it you put it on the hob and take the lid off
Starting point is 00:27:33 and that's how you reduce it. What's the longest stew ever been cooked must be like Chinese stew literally infinite. It's my mate. Who's he? I'm Chinese stew. I'm Chinese stew. But, um...
Starting point is 00:27:44 Good voice, Dan. It's the same with like Bolognaise. The longer you cook a Bolognaise for, really, the better little taste. 12 days. Is it a perpetual Bolognaz? 51 years. A 51 year stew? In Bangkok.
Starting point is 00:27:55 And it's still going. I'd like to see it. Should we go and try it? That'd be sick. If we went there and that, would you eat that? Yeah. I'd eat a 51-year-old stew. That sounded gay.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Not wrong with that, though, is it done? No, I'm a big fan of the gays. I genuinely am, I think they're brilliant. But I prefer the ones with the sense of humour. You know what I mean? Who are like, yeah, he's sound, it's funny, isn't it? Yeah, you like gay people, you don't like gays. How did your hard are gay?
Starting point is 00:28:24 Can I know what you mean. I don't want to make you jealous, lads, but I've just purchased two of the hottest tickets of 2026. No, you haven't. Yeah, I've been on. Is it arena? Liverpool? Have a word?
Starting point is 00:28:36 That's 2025. going to Luke Coe's? I really... Are you going to Luke Coim? No, I think you've misrepresented the hottest ticket in town. Did you get them? I'm going to go and see
Starting point is 00:28:45 June the 19th. Who's that? Delamere Forest. I'm going to see UB 40. That would be class. Bag the tickets, man. Red, red, white. In the Balinese.
Starting point is 00:28:55 There's a rad in a kid what I'm going to do. I can't wait. Yeah? Yeah. Are they white? One of them isn't. The lead,
Starting point is 00:29:02 Ali Campbell is, is the lead. Alista Campbell is the lead singer. Alistair Campbell's UB40. He's a busy. boy. He was still doing that all throughout the Blair eight years.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Yeah, he's, you know, mass spin doctor. So UB's Umbro as well. He's a DJ? It's Umbro, big Umbro fans. Are they big umbrow fans? That's what they got in from. We love Umbro. Can't use that, UB. 40.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Right. Isn't it your unemployment form? No, it's Umbro? Isn't that a P45? Yeah, initially they were called P-45. Brain full of ashes and a B-45. I can't wait. It's the first time Laura's gone,
Starting point is 00:29:39 oh, I really want to see that. And instead of, like, thinking about it, I just went and bought the tickets. And I think, here's the thing. I did it because Loss doesn't do this very often, and it'll be a nice night together watching some music. But it was one of those spur of the moment things, and I sneaky think it's going to be class.
Starting point is 00:29:56 I think you'd be 40 in at Del Nair 40. You'll be one of the youngest people there as well. I think that'll be a good night, you know. I think UB40 are like the sugar babes of their generation. That's what they, Like, no one going there is arced. But, like, they'll all love it. No, but there will...
Starting point is 00:30:10 It doesn't matter who's on the stage as long as they sing the songs. There will... No, there will be... If Mocho Buena comes out and leads UB40, you wouldn't be arse, would you? I wouldn't know if UB40 didn't come out and did UB40's songs?
Starting point is 00:30:22 What I mean? If it was someone else, I'd be like, bang, isn't it? Yeah. At what month is it? June, it's 19th of June. UB 45. Factually, correct. And also, just in terms of joke writing,
Starting point is 00:30:35 excellent fucking excellent also I think Luke Combs is going to be the Oasis of 2026 Oh no way is going to be the Oasis of 2026
Starting point is 00:30:47 so no one's going to be asked about them next year I mean Old Lou selling four million tickets The fight to get Like you remember last week when I told you he was going to announce someone
Starting point is 00:30:58 I was like Oh you'd probably be doing Wemble and stuff and you were like well you easily get tickets and it's not going to be like whatever like he's slaying Castle
Starting point is 00:31:05 Murrayfield and Edinburgh and Wembley Stadium just all like I couldn't get tickets I've backdoored me way into Edinburgh bum someone's down I bummed me way into Edinburgh and I think he's probably going to have to have to have
Starting point is 00:31:20 second dates and a couple of years ago you're all laughing at me you're like we still think it's shite just because he's selling more tickets Hitler got popular in the end Oh yeah yeah Luke Holmes as hit Oh
Starting point is 00:31:34 In the end The oasis of this Do you think it's going to be that It's going to be such a cultural phenomenon Like Yeah, phenomenal They're going to do pop up Luke Combs shops
Starting point is 00:31:46 All around the country I can't wait sit the Luke Combs match He's got a percentage on it I mean to me fair He is selling well He's not wrong Good luck compete with UB 40 Can it be a UB 40 summer
Starting point is 00:31:58 I'll come to Luke Holmes If there's a ticket spent No they won't be You want him to appreciate it. No, you're right. He wants them to do a song that's not even his as well. No one deserves a Luke Combs ticket unless they've been to see him before. They're willing to travel for him.
Starting point is 00:32:16 We've done that. Bang, what? Bang. Listen to him cover Alex Warren. I've listened to it five times. I'm basically a lifelong fan. Also, it would be that cultural zeitgeist where everyone in the country will be talking about Luke Combs in Adam's mind.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Everyone, like, you won't, because it's a part of our youth. as well. There'll be guys there my age who are like this is everything to me because when I was 16 even though Luke Holmes was 11 I, this was such a big part of my life. That's why it's bigger than Oasis probably.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Do you not think that? Granddad's don't die came out when you were like 12. That's not Luke Holmes. That's Riley Green. Oh, I wish granders never died except the one that fiddled me. Here that one. It is a question though. Do I not deserve massive credit for what? Because
Starting point is 00:33:00 everything. The school Four years ago, when I'd gone into country properly and you were all like... Yeah, but you didn't discover it. Someone showed you it. I discovered it. A partner showed you. I liked that too.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Yeah, yeah, but then I went all in. Right. You went past them. You're shite. Yeah? I did. Well done for country. Is that what you want?
Starting point is 00:33:24 Do you not think country is like massive over here now? Like compared to what it was. Because are you... Don't you think that was all me? Really high. Oh, yes, I didn't know where you were going. Yes, I didn't think it was all you. Oh, yeah, I did.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Luke Combs couldn't have sold any tickets without you. He'd have been doing fucking Jack. No, well, he was doing pubs and clubs back when I got into him. And then I started talking about him on this and boom, Wembley. Pubs and clubs. He got to the Nissan Stadium in Nashville pretty quick, didn't he? Yeah, I mean pubs and clubs over here. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Well done. Really well done for country music. Fucking hell. Obviously, yeah. Did you know what? Ed of the Cerve, everyone's got fucking boots and hats and that now?
Starting point is 00:34:06 I haven't. Not as Harry. No, Finn, no Dan, no stage. No, not usual. You're all fucking idiots. I mean, like, people who were into it. Oh, the people who had already liked it. In a few years,
Starting point is 00:34:14 when paddles in Olympic sport will say, well done for that as well. Because no other comedians have mentioned it in the last two years. Sorry, Jason. Playing tonight. 9pm and phomby. Fuck, are you travelling for the paddle,

Well, before that, I used to have to... Like, if I had dates, I used to get public transport. Because one time a girl messaged me on Hinge and was like...
Starting point is 00:38:00 I'm so, and it's never happened before, but she was like, I'm so horny, like, get around to mine now. And I was like, oh, I'd have to get the bus. So I just didn't go. Oh my God, get on the bus for pussy. What you're talking about? How far away did she live?
Starting point is 00:38:14 I was like, because I was at my dad's and my brother. Get a taxi? I was at my dad's. You don't have to tell him why you're leaving. I was at my dad's, my brother. No, he wouldn't have let me out of the house. No pussy after 7 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Yeah. How old were you? What did you just say? I worked here. a woman asked you to go around and fuck her since you've worked here which is what two two years it would have been it will have been early
Starting point is 00:38:38 early days me work so like yeah I would have been what 23 you mean your dad you were 23 a woman was spreading them for you a short bus ride away and your dad said you're not allowed to go out fucking no you should shoot your dad you know no
Starting point is 00:38:52 no I didn't say I wasn't allowed out I just knew that me sneaking out after why do you have to sneak out Your dad's like Wiggins Fritzel. He's not from Wiggin. That's the problem. Your dad's like Wiggins Fittles. He's not from Wiggin.
Starting point is 00:39:13 My dad gets such a bad ref on this. I went to the pub with him last night. Oh, the only, it's what you say. You tell us everything about your dad. You? No, I just knew that it would have got questions. And also it was late, the buses would have stopped. But I tell you what, here's my question about those.
Starting point is 00:39:30 questions you know when you went to go out you're like dad i'm going out and he was like excuse me at the witching hour 6 p.m like what why couldn't you just go there's a woman who's got a pussy lips spread for me a couple of mile away that's what that's how you'd speak to your dad isn't it that's he never explicitly said you can't go out now but i would have felt like i was like breaking the rules i guess so it's on you this this is you being yeah it's on me like he's not gone what rules well not not loud in the kitchen after seven and don't go the kitchen then go out the house? No pussy after nine.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Yeah, but if I, if I, I'd come back, because I wasn't allowed a key at that point as well. What? Mate. Harry, Harry, I know you've lived in your own world
Starting point is 00:40:10 and you're starting to real, none of these things are normal. Like, I, I don't know why I didn't have a key at that point. I think because I lost a key and they were like, well, that's it. That's your lot.
Starting point is 00:40:21 That's it. That's it. So it was like, if I'd snuck out, like, if I'd stayed over or whatever, I hadn't locked the door, I wouldn't be able to lock him in, he's in? He was locked door behind.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Harry, say you just in a different mood and you were like, you know what, fuck it? Why didn't you just get a taxi to the girls' house? Uh, I don't know. Why couldn't you drive the car? I missed that bit. So this is pre before I learned how to drive. Right, okay, that makes more so.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Yeah, I don't, I think I was just a tycoon. I think I was just stingy. Sorry, babe. My dad won't let me out and the buses are finished. Yeah, because I would have... Oh, you don't want to fuck no more? Okay. Because I would have been paying a tenor to,
Starting point is 00:41:00 break the rules of leaving the house. So it's like, I'm doubly wrong. Don't believe wrong. Yeah. Doubally wrong. Is it in a 10th for pussy? I'm breaking my dad's rules. Joking, aren't you? Put your pussy away.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Where were you going last night? Out of the house? First of all, that should do. Or he'd go, what you're doing? Because I was a girl who, I've been talking to a girl. And she asked me for some fucking H time. What does the H stand for? Haddy.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Oh. You're H? I'm H in this scenario. I didn't have you seen I'm H in this scenario, Dad. Not you. Yeah, I don't know. Because he might have been found.
Starting point is 00:41:44 I mean, probably wouldn't have been found. Like, if I come back from a night out, he always gets up just to see if it is me. Yeah, that's all right. Because you haven't got a key? I have a key now. No, if you've got off on the night on,
Starting point is 00:41:57 check out with you, it wouldn't have been you because you haven't got a key. Someone that has. broken. Yeah, because I've left the door unlocked. Exactly. That's where you've got to lock it behind. Otherwise, people just walk in. In our house as well, if you open the door, a voice goes, front doors open. I've turned that off. Oh, I hate it. That is a grass. Yeah. Yeah. I turn that right off.
Starting point is 00:42:14 There's a pre, is it your dad's voice that he's pre-recorded. It's like the Chinese headphones. No, I've got it. My alarm goes, can it? Front door open. And I was like, nah, you're not doing that. And he goes, back door open. Yeah. Don't get it up from Timu. A fontadour. Bluetooth. It's not in Chinese. It's Chinese accent.

Starting point is 00:45:54 yeah but she's to move the cup in the air previous with your mind. That one that's floating. We went to ASDA. Stop using your telekinesis in the range. I'm fucking sick of saying it. No, what you need to do is... Get that mirror down.
Starting point is 00:46:10 You need to like both of them. You need to like both of them, but not one... Do you know what? They're both. I'll be happy with... I'd probably go with that one. She goes with the thing on this one.
Starting point is 00:46:19 But like, honestly, that's probably just as good. So, like, she... Like, giz your, like, a shaker there, you sneak on. Yeah. Nine. So, I'll be Ellie. Fine.
Starting point is 00:46:29 So, here we go. Which, which, uh, which sleep up do you want, babe? Which,
Starting point is 00:46:34 which, which, which, do you want? I like that, that one with the blue lid. Whoa, Harry.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Oh, what about that one though? But I've said the one with, like, I know, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Order. So, is neutral for my start. Now you're single. Yeah. So, so she had two bowls in Asda, and one was blue
Starting point is 00:46:54 and one was like, horrible. And I was like, I did, listen, I'm not, like, I'm not daft fully. And I was like, I was like, oh, they're both good. I do like that blue one. And she went, no, and put it down. And I was like, well, what if we get a blue towel? She's like, no, I don't want a blue towel.
Starting point is 00:47:11 I want it to be green and audible. So. Oh, Harry's led. Whoa. Imagine how much of a psycho you'd have to be if you were in the range. And she was like, Harry, which one? You won this one? Well, you're wrong.
Starting point is 00:47:23 And you're fucking finished. That's us. Mental, your dad level mental. Yeah, like, what you have to do is, when you've picked the blue lid one and she goes, oh, eh, right, with the other one, then you go, oh, now it's in a new light. Oh, oh, you go, actually that one with the thing,
Starting point is 00:47:41 you said earlier, that goes better, actually, right, yeah. Or gas lighter and go, no, sorry, I said that one. Yeah, I said that one from the start. Or just be honest to me, like, couldn't give a shit, I'm here for the pussy. That is also true. But I mean, that's the other, because she's got a whole Pinterest thing
Starting point is 00:47:54 of how the house is meant to look. Whereas I didn't know what colour the living room was the other day. So I don't feel I have too much to stand on. Were you in the living room? No, I've not,
Starting point is 00:48:04 we asked for a second viewing in the house and they said no. That would ease be that, yeah. Sold a scene. Can we see that again? No, you've bought it. It's yours.
Starting point is 00:48:16 I've started getting a bit worried because when we went for the one viewing, they went, we've turned all the lights off because this is how you'd be in the house. The lights would all be off. And we went, that's clever. and then I've realised well have you done the same thing you do with your cars
Starting point is 00:48:28 with your house I've realised because I was like we were talking about the bedroom and I went the bedrooms I was saying to Ellie he was like the bedroom's a bit dark
Starting point is 00:48:42 that needs a lick a pain and then it's come to me I don't really know what the bedroom looks like at all he moves in tomorrow so Harry
Starting point is 00:48:54 Harry Have you had a survey done? This is fucking incredible. Have you had a survey dog? Yeah, but I've not read it. It's fucking dead long. It just said that the house wasn't going to fall down. The lights don't work.
Starting point is 00:49:15 There's no electricity or gas or running water. But it's going to stay standing's up. I assume the lights work. I assume it's plugged in. I'm just invented a word there gonna stay standing jub up jump up how's your house
Starting point is 00:49:33 still standing jubble did you say the lights are plugged in if you're big lights plugged in I'm saying well they're also taking everything as well yeah do you know they're taking the kitchen
Starting point is 00:49:47 no that no yeah so they're taking all of the appliances and stuff like that but there's a bathroom cabinet that's screwed in There's a bathroom cabinet that's screwed and they're fucking taking it. I was like, well, leave something. I think they're taking the curtains as well.
Starting point is 00:49:57 I didn't even know that was loud. Yeah, I don't think that's super unusual. Cairns is normal, but taking like... It's petty, though, because they don't know that those curtains will fit where they're going, you know what I mean? Unless they do. Maybe, maybe.
Starting point is 00:50:11 I think they just don't like us because I've pestered them quite a bit. They haven't let you back in the house. Can we have a second viewing? Can we have a second viewing? No. Pest and then comes in. Well, because also that we were meant to move in like a month and a half ago and then they just we got to the date and they just went uh now so i knocked on the
Starting point is 00:50:27 don't he turned all the light so because we were meant to be in because we were meant to move in because we were meant to move in after turkey just watch that light go off nah they're out i don't haven't done the same thing because people keep on asking me like what kind of boiler do you have or do you have centrally and i'm like that's in the survey you have got central eating because it's 2025 yeah well yes right to do build i didn't know i needed building insurance until yesterday and on my building insurance it was like what locks do you have on your doors so I just had to lie
Starting point is 00:50:56 I don't know oh there you go invalidated insurance before you've moved in yeah if go compare a listening if the go compare man's listening it's a what did you put us the answer just the first lock I can't well I don't know what the locks are going to be unless I asked Ellie
Starting point is 00:51:12 do you remember what the locks were buying the house can you just do check what the Yale locks or what are these ones with keys I don't have numbers I don't have numbers for them and it was late in the day And I didn't know if we need to build an insurance, we're meant to move in tomorrow. So I just thought out yesterday. Good luck, Harry. Shall we do some advice?

Joe says, in light of you lads talking about sexy roleplay on a recent episode, I need some advice. I met a girl and she is what can be described as proper filthy. I'm talking tentacle toys, water sports, public sex, nothing is off limits.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Class. She opened up to me about her biggest fantasy that no one had ever done for her. She has a kink where she wants to be taken advantage of by someone in a position of power. Now, this girl has been arrested just a few weeks before for supporting a certain group
Starting point is 00:53:35 that the government had decided are a terrorist organisation. I imagine that's like... It's Palestine action. It's Palestine action, which is ridiculous in its own It's not al-Qaeda. She's not been... No, okay, good.
Starting point is 00:53:47 The cogs were going in my head, so after a few probing questions, I started to build my character. I showed up to her flat. She did know I was coming round as a plain-clothes police officer. We're talking long-over-go... She's just wearing his own clothes.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Long-over-go. Shirt, tie, sunglasses, sexy handcuffs on my belt. I even had a toy police badge, which belongs to my... Clown-coats! Which belongs to my five-year-old son. And a nightstick,
Starting point is 00:54:13 a big bastard of a vibrating one. from Love Honey. I knocked, and as soon as she opened the door, I shouldered it open, knocking it to the ground, and read her the police caution. You have the right to remain silent and all that shy, and arrested her on suspicion of terrorist activities. I then proceed to interrogate her for the next two hours, which was just sex in character. From the outside looking in, it would look fucking wild, but I promise you it was all consensual, and I think this might have been my greatest sexual experience of all time. The The only problem is that it has now created a Pavlovian response in my brain.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Every time I see the police, either on the streets or on TV, it proper turns me on. And now I sort of don't want normal sex. I just want to have a sexy version of the bill every time. I need your advice lids. How do I shake my busy-induced kink? I love that every show... Why would we know?
Starting point is 00:55:09 Why would we know how to deal with this problem? You don't want to go cold turkey. you want to maybe try paramedic. Also, if he showed at the door, did they not like smacking in the face? Yeah, but she loved it. But that's how the police act. So it's immersive.
Starting point is 00:55:23 He got one of those red things that they bang doors down and then he like glued a dildo on to it as well. She had a great time. She put her in the letterbox. Clear. I can see getting turned on by this stuff but to do it for two hours
Starting point is 00:55:36 I can't do anything for two hours. He's mental. What does the doorbell goes? You have to answer it with your cock out as a plain-closed police officer. the doorbell goes while you're fucking anyway. Well, I'm still me. Is he dropping character?
Starting point is 00:55:49 You don't have to stay in character when you'd open the door. Yeah, you don't have to answer the door. No, but then one if she is, like that. You've got to, otherwise you're losing it. You've got a Daniel Day Lewis this shit. You've got a... Sorry, I've got...
Starting point is 00:56:00 Hang on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, right. Finn, you're in a six-year relationship. You start to spice things up. You've become a police officer. You've got a little toy, six-year-old child's toy badge. You've got a gun. You're holding a love honey vibrator.
Starting point is 00:56:16 I'm dropping that. That's not coming to the door with me. Okay. Great. But you're badging your fake gunner, right? And you're in character as fucking Billy the busy, right? And you're smashing the life harder, you misses. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:56:30 And then the doorbell goes, and it's Frank from next door. And you go down, you don't ignore it. You don't go, ah. Frank. I know, I know Frank. Yeah. He's neighbor. So Frank's like, all right, Finn.
Starting point is 00:56:42 How are you doing? You go, it's fucking Billy. to you, mate. Like, yeah. And Frank, Frank thinks you're having, that,
Starting point is 00:56:48 if that happened to me, if I was Frank in that situation, I'd be like, oh, Finn's in trouble. Oh, no. Like, is this a cold where,
Starting point is 00:56:54 you shoulders the door. See, what I'd do is I'd, I'd make another story that Finn's like the undercover thing for Billy. So Finn has been a role I've been playing for years.
Starting point is 00:57:07 What about the next day? What happens the next day when you see Frank again? Have you got to be Billy the busy for him? Who's directed? this. Christopher Nolan. He said, Finn, I've gone, right, just, yeah, that is the role you're playing. Yeah, right, Frank. In a bit, I'm busy. Not a busy. I'm not a busy. I'm busy as in, I'm doing stuff. Go away. Have you got pants on? I've got boxers on. He can see I'm hard, but it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:57:35 You could do a love actually. By the door at all times, you could have your story on card. Anyway, listen, I'm banging my wife. Yeah, I am a busy and character. Please stop asking questions. Say your DPD. I'm wellying her. She's into all sorts. She's pro-Palestine.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Because of the genocide. We all should be, really. Getting in the weeds. But she fucking loved it. She's dirty. She's into everything. Tenticle deal goes. Frank's like, man.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Now, get on me. Frank, could you fuck off? I didn't think you can play character. I'm going to get the doorbell. I'm going to get a doorbell. They'd have to be banging the doorbell. down for me to stop shagging. What?
Starting point is 00:58:16 What? Shishish. I'm telling you right now, if I'm smashing pushing someone to the door, they're staying at the door till I'm done. About it's Halloween. Fucking an hour. Trickle-treaters.
Starting point is 00:58:27 I don't fuck on Halloween. It's Christmas morning. We wish you a Merry Christmas. God luck! Why don't you fuck on Halloween? In case you bring the monsters into the bedroom? No, in case kids not had the door and ask for sweet. See, I thought that'd be your dream.
Starting point is 00:58:41 You like fancy dress. Yeah, fuck around. Halloween. So you dress up in the days around. I'm Polish when it comes to Halloween. I did the day before. Don't fuck on Halloween. Kids knocking on the door. Ignored. But they're dressed up as well.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Oh. It's too far. Too far. Are you feeling hungry, Dan? Hungry for love? No. Oh, hungry. It's time for the return of Dan versus food. Don, dun, don't, don't, don't, don't. Dan versus...
Starting point is 00:59:17 Hello, ladies and gentlemen, this is Dan versus food. Dan is a 45-year-old man with food phobias. He basically is scared of eating certain things. He's a weirdo. So what we've been doing over the past couple of years is forcing them to try stuff that he's never tried before. For example, even as a northern man from Lancashire, he'd never had gravy.
Starting point is 00:59:36 He'd never had fish and chips. He'd never had a pie. Well, he has now. He doesn't really like any of it. We're going to today give him this stuff. It's breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day, Dan. It is the most important meal of the day.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Oh. So here we go. We do have, we have porridge. We have, uh, ready break. No, the ready break is the porridge. Yeah. Yeah. That's wheat of beaks.
Starting point is 01:00:01 Okay. We have ready breck. We have wheat of bicks and we have marmite on toast. Now, what I will say, Dan, is the marmite on toast is going to leave an aftertaste. But I think you're actually going to enjoy that. You like twiglets. You love her. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:13 You're going to be fine with marmite. So this is marmite on toast. Mmm. You already eat that, don't you? I fucking love marmite. Full disclosure. I fucking love a bit of marmite. That's not, I've never had that.
Starting point is 01:00:28 I should have thought that. You've never to have marmite? It just tastes like bonfineite. Oh yeah. No, not for me. Marmite on crumpets. I think it works best on crumpets. I think it's the definition of what marmite is.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Yeah. Some marmites have me. Not for me. I fucking love it. Oh, it's shaita. Oh, that is, honestly. You're so weird. That's fucking horrible. Just open up your minds.
Starting point is 01:00:55 So you like Marmite, but you've never tried porridge. That's, that's... Can I just... With Marmite, I bet I've eaten it for about three years, so it's not... Oh, right, okay. So what I will say is this is... Cosetta likes it. This could be nicer, but we didn't have any pussy juice available to have on your ready brain.
Starting point is 01:01:12 No, absolutely. Acto-free milk. All right, okay. I don't know how you. Put your juice on your method makes it better. As fuck are you getting your juices for your serum?
Starting point is 01:01:19 Is it wheat-at-bix then? I've genuinely never have wheat-a-bix. You know, part of the problem is it all just looks a bit mushy. I haven't made two balls because the first one just turned into porridge. All right. Big mouthful.
Starting point is 01:01:31 When you prepared it. Make like your mum and fill your gob. So on this. She used cock, though. Oh, yeah. Used? Mm. Oh, he's got back for the second bite.
Starting point is 01:01:46 But how many bites are you fucking love it, don't yet? I'll be honest, I am a serial man. I have, but I've never had this. It's not good cereal, though, is it? If you need it quickly when it's not so sloppy, it's good. Oh, I like it, sloppily. No, I mean, when you've prepared it. The banana one's good as well.
Starting point is 01:02:02 Oh, shit, he's ruined it. That was a bit... Who's using that? Old man. Yeah. It's for people who have had to stop bowling, if you know what I mean? so there's another bowl it's not that
Starting point is 01:02:17 it's bowling can hear this who do you think you are I don't know honestly I am that was good Alan I'll say that oh no I'm not going to do the reviews
Starting point is 01:02:33 now that's fucking so bang average that can I wash it down with some mom no you can wash it down with some pottage though oh
Starting point is 01:02:40 no it's warm Horridge is warm and sloppy. Have you ever read the three bears then? There's a big bear, a little bear and some slag breaks in and makes herself porridge. Mommy bear, daddy bear, baby bear. Family of bird. She doesn't make herself porridge.
Starting point is 01:02:57 She has the porridge that's already there. Oh, right. And then she like cracks one out in the beds. Yeah. Goldie Cox. Yeah. Nice. It looks like grue.
Starting point is 01:03:06 Oh, that's what you're delicious. Please, sir. But it is especially nice with some honey in. Yeah, a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of it. we haven't done for you. A bit of jam. Fing does pussy, dude. You've ruined me.
Starting point is 01:03:18 Really? Oh, it looks bad. Stop looking at this. It's honestly enough. You're going to be fine with it. What are you doing? You're weirdo. Have some more.
Starting point is 01:03:28 Have some more. I mean, it tastes of nothing. Threaten to be sick. Have some more. Get it down your throat. Oh, no. Clout are open. I thought of animal come then.
Starting point is 01:03:40 Why? Which animal? No, why? I don't need to do that. I honestly think that's... Why animal come? I don't know. It's just that hit the back of my throat.
Starting point is 01:03:47 It reminded me that time. What time? No, the other words of barbap. That's really bad. Not gonna lie, I fucked up making it once. I had to make it again. I don't care. I don't think you could make that right.
Starting point is 01:04:00 That is so... How was your fuck up making it? I measured it all out for him because he didn't know what he was doing. It was just pure liquid. Yeah, because you don't eat it either, do you? No, I mean, like, I'll try that. You ever have rice pudding, then?
Starting point is 01:04:11 The porridge from me? Pretz nice, with a bit of honey in. It needs something, but for me, the texture of that is not pleasant at all. Can you show the camera, Dan? That, it's just not good. It's ready breakfast class. Looks like wallpaper paste. Honestly, now, is this shredded wheat?
Starting point is 01:04:28 Wheat's spix. Wheat's spix. It's not shredded wheat. Right. If I was staying over somewhere and they had no other cereal because they were lizards, I would potentially eat that. Yeah, a bit of sugar, a bit of honey. But behind Corn Flakes, Frosties, Cheerios.
Starting point is 01:04:47 Yeah, yeah, I agree, but yeah. Fucking, but, like, this one, what a find. I love it. 10 out of 10. Right, rank, uh, ratings. Marmite, yeah, it's not a 10 out of 10 because you've got to be in the move for it, but it is exceptional. Eight, eight, eight, nine.
Starting point is 01:05:01 I give a minus three. Oh, it's salty. Um, I'll give, what is it? Weed a bit, wheat a bit. How do you keep forgetting? Five. Yeah, bang in the middle. I'd give Wheatabix like a five or six.
Starting point is 01:05:13 No one not likes it. What did you give marmite? Porridge. So not necessarily how you've had it there, but porridge with honey in, I'd have it like a seven and a half eight. It's got to be some good honey that, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:05:26 Honey is good though, isn't it? It just makes it all sweeter and that. There's a question for you to round out our section. Not for me. You said you're the serial man. Top five cereals. Let's do an impromptu top five. Well, everyone love that.
Starting point is 01:05:38 Right. Can I? Can I just, detach the sort of health thing because I honestly think sometimes Frosties are on offer and anyone who goes, I prefer cornflakes to Frosties, it's mental. Frosties is just the sweet. Yeah, no, I'm not asking like... Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:57 It's a cheap day. You can have whatever you want for breakfast. You're having cereal. What, like, if I, if I open my cupboard, you're staying at mine. Laura's fucked you off. And I go, yeah, which one do you want? What, if I said there's five cereals in the cupboard, what would you want those options to be? Is that what's going to happen if Laura fucks me off?
Starting point is 01:06:14 Do I have to come and live with you for a bit? I'm getting a bigger couch soon, so you'll be all right. Oh, it won't be sad at all. At least you'll have ricicles. Is riceicles in there? I think ricicles are phenomenal. Same theory. Is that Rice Krispies?
Starting point is 01:06:25 It's the sugared rice crispses. I'm going to go... Is this a sugary enough? No, they're coated with sugar puffs? Nope. The ricicles are the Kellogg's. I got... This is for me, and I know you'll dispute this,
Starting point is 01:06:39 but I'll go Frosties, riceicles I love Cheerios also what's the Kellogg's crunching what's the crunching out corn flakes
Starting point is 01:06:49 oh that is a bad boy that one as well my top and it's not close the milk for them is incredible um ricicles were discontinued
Starting point is 01:06:57 in 2017 then oh for shame he loves them crunching or corn flakes cocoa pops sugar puffs sugar puffs Honey nut cereos.
Starting point is 01:07:13 They're good. Porridge. Horridge? Horwich is not making the top line. It's porridge a cereal? Yeah, you kind of. What is it, man? Well, I've learnt nothing about breakfast.
Starting point is 01:07:27 I already like this. I ate that. What did you give porridge out of ten then? I said, honestly. Seven? It's... It can't be a one because I didn't get... So actually by the Dan versus food standards.
Starting point is 01:07:41 It's four and it's three or four. You should try rice pudding. It's a sweeter version of it for the Z. It is fucking gorgeous. Rice puddin's nothing like that. It's the same fucking concept, isn't it? It's just milk and rice. Talking about breakfast.
Starting point is 01:07:56 Next time I want to try a scrambled egg. Someone sort me out. What I mean is it looks the same. Let's have a break. Hello, everyone. It's Dan and Carl from the Havelworth podcast that you're listening to and watching. Oh, I tell you, I cannot stand a hairy, pubed man.
Starting point is 01:08:09 And I'm not one. Oh. Oh, yeah. I'm down at my lowest ever pub length. Well done. What are you using? I'm using Monscape Carl, recognize. It's all I've ever used, because do you know why?
Starting point is 01:08:19 It's dead easy, and it always does the job. I don't see why he'd use anything else. It's just like the pubs are gone. For face, for my bald-bowed head, but mainly for the piabs. And now this, this is a bit of fancy. Well, I've got the black one. I'm like, eh, boring. Bore off.
Starting point is 01:08:33 White hot looks, smooth results. The White Hot 5.0 Ultra brings the heat. without cooking your skin. It's sleek, easy to use, and way less terrifying than what you were using before. That is a fact. My God, Carl, that was so natural. You can see your sort of love for Manscape coming through.

Starting point is 01:09:15 I tell you who's here. It's your friend of mine. It's Tommy Stey! Come on. Oh, Tommy! What's up, baby? What are we doing? I've got a question for you.
Starting point is 01:09:29 What are we doing? What's this? You look like every American dad at Disneyland. Do you know what I mean? And there's your son? I don't know, your mother said hi. Who is, who's Leo Sayer? What?
Starting point is 01:09:51 What? I don't really know either. I know he's important. But I don't know what... He was a great headliner. Is this great? TV presenter for the 80s? Yes, CV-Cadier.
Starting point is 01:10:02 No, 70s. He did American Blankety Blank. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he sure did, as a matter of fact. But you don't get it, Dan. Like, I grew up with this guy, with my dad. Every day, fucking endless flight album.
Starting point is 01:10:16 Fucking make me feel endless flight. Oh, look at that. Did he have to make that? Oh, yeah, but he's time-traveled for his whole personality. Oh, Jesus, Finn. So, yeah, so I went and saw it. So what I did was he came to Edinburgh. Okay, he came to Edinburgh.
Starting point is 01:10:34 I called up Charlotte and make myself look. like a big star and call up his agent and say Tom wants to meet him after the show. And it fucking totally did. Ended up going, hanging out with fucking Leo Sayer all night. This guy's buying me fucking 80 pound whiskey
Starting point is 01:10:51 so I'm getting high with him and his fucking bandmates. And and then I just became a Leo Sayer fucking follower. You know. Yeah, totally, man. You know. Is it Leo Sayer? Or is it like Leo Sayer and the Bee Gees? Like, what's his band? Not the Pist.
Starting point is 01:11:06 No. Leo Seah. He's the guy. The Aspandas. How much love, feel like dancing. Endless flight, Magnolena. Is he, he had a dance remix. Like, is he calling me?
Starting point is 01:11:21 No. He's one of the ones from like the early 2000s. Just for the audio listeners who think they've had an an aneurism, Tom is wearing a Leo Sayate t-shirt. Oh, thunder in my heart. I feel thunder in my heart. He told me he's dead. I just can't control.
Starting point is 01:11:36 Dude, he told me what, see, I don't even know, I'm going to tell it, because he told me the, this is how cool, this is how tight me and Leo were, okay? Okay, like, I know shit about Leo, but he told me that song, that song, Thunder in Your Heart, is about him fucking Raquel Welch. Do you know who Raquel Welch? Oh, my God. Denise's sister? Huh? Denise's sister? Yeah, it is Denise's sister, Carl.
Starting point is 01:12:04 That's exactly who the fuck it is. She's only like, fucking one of the most sexiest women of the 70s. Isn't Raquel Welch, one of the women that's on a poster in... Shawshank. Shawshank. No, that's it. Yeah. Is it Hayworth?
Starting point is 01:12:18 No, but it's, I think it ends. Yeah. Raquel Welch. Oh, when he moved through your decades. Because he changed his posters, doesn't he? You know what? That's what she's famous for. Well, now, yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:27 And she's also famous for banging Leo's favorite. You're right? If she is on. I think it's great. Okay, well, there we go. We know the two new people are. There you go. No.
Starting point is 01:12:36 I mean, she is. She is fit. Okay, kids. She was. He's dead. You write that now? Did that wait? So, can I just clear something here?
Starting point is 01:12:46 You got your agent to call his agent and go, hey, my famous client wants to meet your famous client after your famous client's show. Ding, don't know. Do you think I can get my agent to do that with Luke Combs when he's coming over? Yeah, totally. Consider, we're ego maniacs, dude. Again, of course we do. Of course, Luke's going to want to meet you.
Starting point is 01:13:04 He's going to want. Who's this Adam Rowe guy? No, he's going to want to say thank you for his whole career that Adam has basically given him. Because I think this might be hyperbole, but I think Adam was saying basically Luke Holmes was homeless before Adam picked him up and just raised him from nothing. I'll do that for people, though, you know?
Starting point is 01:13:25 He was a Tennessee smack rat. Great source. Nice, nice band, the Tennessee smack rats. I would love to see that, Adam. I would totally, I think you should. Hey, but how many, now, this is going to be a bit cunty, but how many celebrities in the Edinburgh area were asking to meet Leo afterwards?
Starting point is 01:13:44 I think that's the thing in it. If you keep this, yeah, yeah? You can meet anyone that's famous 40 years ago. You've played the odds beautifully. Yeah, thank you, Dan. Luke Combs might be a more difficult get. Yeah, but like, it's you. Yeah, that's how I was, I wasn't thinking about it.
Starting point is 01:14:02 Adam's Adam. Adam's Adam. He has a, he's a noun. that he's added extra shows. So at three o'clock today, I do need to join that pre-sail to try and get some Ireland. Where is he playing? Where's Luke playing?
Starting point is 01:14:12 He's doing two nights at Wembley Stadium. He's doing Murrayfield in Edinburgh. Right, okay. And he's doing two nights at Slain Castle in Ireland. And you before, are you playing Delamere Forest? Wow. That's a tag on to the tour, basically.
Starting point is 01:14:26 I'll tell you, from Wembley Stadium, that'd be a tough one, from the Edinburgh playhouse. were Leo and it wasn't quite full. How many times? Have you done this a lot? Have you done this with lots of celebrities where you've just done?
Starting point is 01:14:44 Good question, Finn. Thank you for asking that one. He's working the room. Leo is the first one, man. Leo is the first one just because he played such a pivotal role in my childhood. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:15:03 Like, I still listen to his songs even now. Yeah. And, you know, everybody drives by me going, who's that gay guy in the car listening to Magnolia? Windows up. I'm like, I can't even hear the music. They're like, that looks gay. Tom, who is the first person you were star-struck by?
Starting point is 01:15:23 Just my hat. Tom, who's the first person you were star-struck by? Have ever met someone big enough where you give a foot? Like, I mean, like, holy shit. these are so famous. Wow. I'm going to be honest with it, Carl. I don't think I've ever been star-struck.
Starting point is 01:15:40 Never, ever, ever? No, man. I don't, I think, I met some pretty big dudes, man. I've got, fucking, I met, like. When did you start stand up? Like, late 80s? Have I got that time, timeline wrong? You got that right.
Starting point is 01:15:50 You bet. Yeah. So you must have, there's some big comics, like. Dennis Miller, all them guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are we saying here? Like, if somebody, did you tell me stories about, like, I met this guy once.
Starting point is 01:16:02 And you lost your shit with him. Yeah, like, you're not even lost your shit. You were pretty starstruck by Russell Brand where, yeah. I met Russell Brand. This was a long... This was pre-rape allegations. I don't know whether it was pre-rape. It wasn't, it wasn't pre-raped for Carl, was it?
Starting point is 01:16:20 He hadn't been accused yet. But he was probably up to it. Okay. Like 18 years ago. Allegedly. And you lost your shit with him. I don't lose me shit, but I was like, oh, that's cool. He's a cool guy.
Starting point is 01:16:30 He enjoyed... Tom. You know in the break? I'll show you the photograph of Carl meeting Russell Brand. Yeah, I'm happy. Okay. I mean, I've announced a six forms ago and meet him. Because my forms of years were his humour with like Ponderland and stuff and there's
Starting point is 01:16:44 telly stuff. I love the... Carl is so starstruck by it in a picture. He looks like Randall from Monsters Inc. Oh, wow. A changed form. I look like a cartoon. You, that is accurate, by the way, and you can slide that picture in here.
Starting point is 01:16:56 Looks like... He's like I'm going through on goal. Yeah. But that's your childhood. You see, I guess, you'll say her. Ross Noble as well. I think I've other met...
Starting point is 01:17:04 Wow. Ross Noble. I think even now... I'd be disappointed. Oh, no. I'd walk in and go this fucking guy. But like my formative of comedy is every Christmas day.
Starting point is 01:17:16 I watched the new Ross Noble DVD. Yeah. That's cool, man. Ross got me when I met him. I was like... I'd be like, oh, that's... Fuck me. Because I've never met him,
Starting point is 01:17:24 even though I've worked on comedy so long. I've never ever crossed past of him. I'd be like, oh, that's... Even though it might not be massive, that'd be cool. But he was massive. He was huge, man. Of course he was. He was huge.
Starting point is 01:17:33 Was he in 90s huge, wasn't he? He's like late 90s. He was in big theaters by the like 2000. Yeah. The fairest comedian I ever saw live. Yeah. Yeah, really? Ever, yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:43 Oh, wow. At the Empire. I think he was on one of the first gigs that I came here with Daryl Martin in Nottingham, man. And I don't know if he was, this is like 2003 or something like that when we first came in. And he was, he was like the headliner dude. and there was Johnny Vegas and I'd just shown up, man. And, you know, as much as I, you know,
Starting point is 01:18:07 fucking tease these guys, I know he's awesome. It was the first time I saw, like, real absurd comedy. Yeah, yeah, like, just making it up as you're going along. I was like, oh, that, what he's doing there's magic? Now I know it's less magic. It's still magic. He still had some magic about him, though. Yeah, but I was like, oh, fuck, that's, no one does that.
Starting point is 01:18:26 That's magic. When I first saw Tom, it was at Lincoln University, and it must have been about, I reckon you've been over about six months a year. Yeah. And there was some heavy hitting good Canadian comics, but I hadn't sort of like, I'd just been doing my little pocket of gigs
Starting point is 01:18:41 and just trying to get open spots. And I'd seen Sean Collins be brilliant and Craig Campbell and Glenn Wall. All the cool guys are like, these guys are clearly, to me, Canadian comics were like all a bit mental and brilliant. And I saw you kick the fuck out of Lincoln University. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 01:18:59 It was so good to watch. I was like, oh, there's another big dog come over from Canada. I'm the last one standing, damn. Where are you the last one over, though? It felt like you were the one over that, okay, I'll do it. Damn, thanks, man. I appreciate them. That's a real kind thing to say, dude.
Starting point is 01:19:21 Is there anyone you would make that phone call for? If you had an agent, is there anyone you'd make that Leo say a phone call for? oh like like if he for for whoever yeah whoever wow man yeah probably maybe like a footballer i wouldn't be a musician those footballer concerts wow no what i mean if a new day were backstage if they were backstage they forgot to me like ronaldini or something that'd be cool or steve bruce how awkward of that phone call me you get your agent to ring their agent and i'd love to meet them like where and they go just a costa can you just
Starting point is 01:19:58 meet for like a dayday before the conference. I don't think there's any musician when I'll do it. No. Really? No one? No, not really. No one. Mick Hocknell.
Starting point is 01:20:08 Mick? I would want to meet Mick Hocknell. I'd love to meet him. I would do that. And I think, do I know something? Where Mick is now, he's at my level that I could get in. I guarantee. I'd like, maybe that's what it is, Dan.
Starting point is 01:20:22 Maybe it's, you got to hit these guys like, like women. Do you know what I mean? Like, when they're super hot. They're hard to get in touch with. But as soon as they get into their 40s, all of a sudden, hey, somebody's taking my phone number now. And in the 50s, fucking you are going home with them, no matter. When they're on the Masters tour.
Starting point is 01:20:43 Yeah. And they appreciate you. Thank you. They're still there. They're still popular a little bit for all the people that remembered when they were beautiful. And they're like the school yard crushes. That's what we're talking about here.
Starting point is 01:20:58 I wouldn't be able to hit the 20 and 30-year-olds. Mick Hucknell. Yeah, Mick Hucknell's about 49, 49 on the pretty scale. You know how big he was? He was, didn't he play like the FA Cup final or something before he? What? And he brought up. That is a confabulated memory.
Starting point is 01:21:21 Alex Ferguson's involved. They were like, Mick Hucknell's here. Should we fuck off the national anthem? No, Alex Ferguson's involved in some way. I don't know why. Yeah, he doesn't. He doesn't. He celebrated the 1999
Starting point is 01:21:32 FA Cup final. Thank you. With, because he's a United. Because he's a United. You know, he played it? No,
Starting point is 01:21:39 no, he didn't. No, he played the celebration. He didn't play in the match. I know that. Wow. A surprise name on the team sheet today. You needed to Google that. But he was,
Starting point is 01:21:50 he was massive. I'd love to go and see him because simply reds every. You'd love to go and see them. Like, if they were playing the Liverpool, would you go and see them? Yeah, Have you like a small, like a jack gig.
Starting point is 01:21:58 They did the arena last week like. Yeah, but I wouldn't go to the arena. I'd like to do a little gig and like the Jack and something. Yeah, that's going to the arena. It's what's Simply Red. But us. But us.
Starting point is 01:22:10 Yeah, come and see us. Maybe Simply Red's going to be there. He won't be. I bet you though somebody would though. I bet you there's somebody out there that would get their agent to call your guys' agent to come and meet you two for sure.
Starting point is 01:22:23 Well, it hasn't happened yet. No. Yeah. And I haven't got an agent, so that's... They can ring Laura. I've seen something. Just buy a country day ticket? Literally.
Starting point is 01:22:35 Yeah, but then also... Okay, I don't know why my brain... But then also, I want to go back to the women thing, okay? Yeah, I know what year we're in, and I know the calls I'm going to get. Don't you sweat it. Your agents get in the calls. Yeah, it's all fine. Whatever.
Starting point is 01:22:52 If you don't know the real world. Okay. So, there's also, like, guys that are from Mick Hut, whatever, Mick Hocknell's generation, that have gone back that would be harder to see. Like, I think Rick Astley would be a tough one. So it's like, it's sort of like you come up from 2030, almost lose it, and then come back and you're more popular than the 20 and 30. is not more popular now, surely. He had like a 15-year hiatus, didn't it? That really helped his stock.
Starting point is 01:23:31 He just disappeared, didn't perform, went out of the spotlight, and then got bored and went and came back, and I think that helped his stock. Rick Rowland? Rick Rowland? Rick Rowland is the only reason he's back. What's Rick Rowland? I thought that was Rick Ross.
Starting point is 01:23:44 That is a person as well. Rick Rowling is when you send someone a link and go, hey, have you seen these new shoes and it's just a video? It's just the Never Gonna Give You Up video. Oh, right. That's what made him famous again. It's sad.
Starting point is 01:23:59 Like, just the fact. He seems like a really cool guy, Rick Astley. He seems... No, but he did come back. He came back. But isn't his concerts just a room full of people going? Come on, Rick. He chose to go away because he's...
Starting point is 01:24:10 He'll do covers. He doesn't care. He'll mix it up. He'll do other people's songs as well. Everyone knows what they're there for. But he'll do the different stuff. The bang. It sounds like you're going there to see yes.
Starting point is 01:24:21 Like, he'll do covers. He did a tour with Blossoms where they played the Smiths. It was Rick Astley with Blossoms as his band playing the Smiths. That would be sick, though. Wouldn't that be sick? That would be so sick. Is that Johnny Marr? Johnny Marr's the Smith.
Starting point is 01:24:35 Yeah, Morrissey. Why isn't... He's still alive. Why isn't... It's near fucking lizard. Morrissey? Yeah, bad guy. Has he gone...
Starting point is 01:24:46 Oh, okay. Too busy with all the supermarkets now? Morrison's. Busy mom. That's what he did. Roll back. I can't call it Morrissey. Because he'd know it was me.
Starting point is 01:24:55 It's a bit on the nose, eh. Tell you what, Morrison's have a good deli count to know. He's famously a vegetarian. Who? Morrissey. It can't be that famous.
Starting point is 01:25:10 He's known famously because he'd be in it. That's one of the Morrissey facts. So he's got all the gobshite medals. But he's also the one that wanted to ban fox hunting. Yeah. he's very like how long I've been in this country
Starting point is 01:25:23 what do you think about fox hunting ton I'm doing another screen man I want to get on a fucking horse and just plow right over I want to stomp
Starting point is 01:25:33 their heads oh no dogs no dogs no dogs don't do you with it yeah just smet but even any horse it's just wrong
Starting point is 01:25:41 get the fuck out of my trash just with an equestrian murder horse stomping question mr beer I guess we watched Ross Noble
Starting point is 01:25:54 when he was going up like a fucking equestrian murder horse Oh, they saw a dead fox yesterday and it really upset me What? This is too many screeches Is that what you did when you saw it on the road? It was dead sad.
Starting point is 01:26:07 Where was it? Like in the Central Reservation on Queen's Drive. In a roundabout? Do you know where on a... And you can screech again here then. Do you know whenever I hear central reservation I think about loads of water?
Starting point is 01:26:17 Like a reservoir Yeah, I think that's what it is A little too local You know like when Paul Inns crashed into the central reservation and lost his license I was like, did he do damage to a dam?
Starting point is 01:26:29 Paul That needs like the end of Cairbeian That needs like the end of Caribbean enthusiasm We've got to start fucking adding the Seinfeld music Can we get for the soundboard, because we all do them occasionally.
Starting point is 01:26:51 I was thinking the other day, and then everyone goes, the fuck you want about. Did you do that much to a dab? Tom, can I just explain? I think there might be a very dangerous gas leak in the studio. And we are all losing brain cells. It's making for some really fun
Starting point is 01:27:05 nonsensical podcasting. It's usually that you that sends us off the rails. We're never on the rails anymore. Wow. You know what's really coincidental about? that, Dan, is there's a gas leak at my house? And has been for 28 years.
Starting point is 01:27:25 Don't fix it, Tony! Is there someone that you do that for then? Like the phone call, like they're pulling your weight? If I wanted to... But I've said before, I've got a big fear of the people that I really, like, I'd hate to meet them and then have them be just a fucking lizard or just, like, mood.
Starting point is 01:27:45 I'd want one of the fun celebrities who I really like their stuff. Do you know, like, I really like Radiohead. I never want to meet any of Radiohead. Surely, no one wants to. I like Queens of the Stone Age. I'd love to meet Queens. Yeah, that would be a cool hand.
Starting point is 01:28:01 So it's not that they're my favourite ever. I think, I think guys like that are going to be a good. Ian, Beale. Brown. Oh, Stone Roses. Oh, okay. Ian. Smoked a joint with him in Melbourne, man.
Starting point is 01:28:14 Tom, I'm going to. You must have heard some Queens of the Stone Age. you all fucking love it I think I have man what's it go with the flow okay I can go with the flow
Starting point is 01:28:26 yeah the queen to the stone age goes to the flow I want to meet these guys I'll put it into AI and turn it into a 1950 soul song so I can appreciate it probably you've just said you smoked a joint with Ian Brown

Starting point is 01:31:06 a lot of people wonder why man that me and Cheech aren't working together and it's because we got rich man and you can't get a rich Mexican to do shit that was his opening joke and then he would introduce his wife shelby and bring her on to do all it cheats his thing but the best part was after a tommy chong show
Starting point is 01:31:29 everyone would throw fucking joints onto the stage man and there was a dude that just came up and fucking swept him all up and brought him backstage like we had the most and like when you went to his show a lot of the dope smuggers, like some of the best part was in one of those joints, but it was like a roulette kind of thing, you know what I mean? You'd have been so easy to assassinate.

Starting point is 01:35:58 Keeping my gum disease intact. In tact? Keep hold of it. Just keeping it at bay right now. But if you ask me, like that's what I mean by the five years. if you ask yourself where you want to be in five years now from when you were 20 fucking total different spectrum
Starting point is 01:36:17 and I came and I came to the conclusion that fucking I'm done so that just is going to take care of itself forever now and now I just don't know what the fuck to do with myself except watch my wife sand floors and I mean that you look at a hobby Tom? Huh?
Starting point is 01:36:34 You know what you're doing it? VR man Yeah the VR headset Are you into that yeah Dude, it's the best. It's the greatest ever. Go porn again. See, that's a real man right there.
Starting point is 01:36:47 Porn. You're immediately thought it. I wonder if I could get a virtual chick to suck me off on. No, but you can. Of course you can. Fuck, God, that just said it. But, yeah, but there's so much more than that, man. I'm like into the games, dude.
Starting point is 01:37:03 I'm like a fucking child, man. I might as well go back to 16, dude. Like, I'm playing death unchanged. But you don't know what it is, do you? No, but in all VR games, I know they're really a massive amount. Dude, fucking death unchained, you're like a Templar night shooting zombies in the fucking face with an arrow. I'm like, my God, man, why was this not here when I was 16? Like, my whole life was built around fucking leisure time, man.
Starting point is 01:37:31 And, man, this VR thing is like it just, it takes you out of the world, man. You don't play it, do you? You guys are so mad. You guys, like, are in the real world and all that. No, I've watched loads of just old-school porn. Like, I'm not in the real world, but I don't VR game, but it does sound pretty good. I wouldn't be allowed to do it when my wife was sanding a floor, though. Nobody's allowed to do it while your wife's doing a great job, Drew.
Starting point is 01:38:00 A couple of zombies left. YouTube, get over here. Tom. Yeah. Do you know what? I think it's a very refreshing attitude. If you've gone, I'm happy where I am. This is where it's going to be.
Starting point is 01:38:14 Carl, Dan. Yeah. Finn. You're doing music and not, aren't you? Where do you want to be in five years? We'll start with you, Finn. Where do you want to be? I would like to be doing music as my main career. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:38:27 Oh, he wants out. That's actually really disrespectful. Yeah, he wants out, man. To this place. Well, you'll see later on in the episode. What? See what? It's my song at the end.
Starting point is 01:38:36 Oh, we'll come to that. Lovely, too. I saw your song on Spotify, Finn. Yeah? Yeah, country song. Didn't listen. Oh, not the country. Yeah, your country's.
Starting point is 01:38:45 I've got my playlist for a little while. It's the best one, isn't it? Nashville? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Walking down on Broadway. No, Luke Combs. No, no, no. Not even Leo Sayer, really.
Starting point is 01:38:57 I don't think you're going to make it in five years, Finn. I bet you five years from now, I'm going to come here and go, hey, Finn, what's up? Problem. I hope so. No, I'd still want to, I've said this loads. I'd still want to do this. I'd rather swap them around so music's the main one
Starting point is 01:39:17 and this is like just coming in and do this. I can't see that. Yeah, just come in and record. Yeah. I know, you've pitched this a few times back in your box. I can't see that though, man. No, I don't. Like, what if you did,
Starting point is 01:39:29 what if it became major world star, Finn, you became major world, I don't want to be major world star. You're touring all over the place, but you better be here between two and four on a way. You do want to be I don't want to be a major world So you got to a point where you were doing
Starting point is 01:39:44 I'd want to be doing like local gaffs like a thousand Yeah yeah But then your age up went Listen Your new song is popping off And I think we can move up You go
Starting point is 01:39:51 It looks too stressful being like Justin Bieber I don't want to be just No you're not going to be You want to be Tom State I want to yeah You want to be
Starting point is 01:39:57 You want to play Chorley Theatre You know And almost sell it out I'm in my 40s There's no way you would stop your age and getting you bigger gigs. I know, but this isn't happening. No, but you said you don't want it.
Starting point is 01:40:15 Well, there's a refreshing. But it's what happened. You want it? You need to want it. Yeah, no, but I want... He needs to want what he doesn't want. No, I'm saying if it happened, he'd take it. But he's saying he'd take it.
Starting point is 01:40:25 But then he's saying he'd take it. Yeah, like Dan doesn't want to be playing stadiums. But then he went into a stadium. And it's a bit of an easy decision to make. But look, if we lost Finn, Harry could go right there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:36 Yeah. Harry. He's waiting in the weird. He's sidelined. He's waiting. He has to do a podcast with Carl. In five years' time is still three levels below Adam in the career stakes. It's great.
Starting point is 01:40:49 It's worked out for me really well for the last five. I'll just keep in this lane. It's great. That genuine, like, how we've got... What are you saying, Dan? I missed that. I missed that because I was paying attention to Harry for a second. What did you say?
Starting point is 01:41:01 I want the pod to grow. Yeah. I want the, that's the priority. The patrons astounded. I want the pod to grow. I want all of us to be able. able to sell tickets out but how things have been the last three years i would happily maintain with a bit of progression yeah that would be fine like i'm not like aiming because i don't want to do
Starting point is 01:41:21 loads more i like my life i like where i live i like doing this yeah so how much more like i know adam scheduled just because he's got so many extra gigs he's there's there's tv stuff i i haven't got the i just don't want that adam's got drive man he's got like dry. I've got less. Yeah. I've got less than I used to have though. Do you? Uh, I, I'm always but sorry. Yeah, I, like, it's still there, but like, I've been
Starting point is 01:41:49 a sort of watching what Thomas Green is doing recently and I've been like, that was me. Like, sort of five, six years ago. And I'm just watching him work harder than I am and going, I probably need to get back to that. What is he doing? I don't know. He's hustling really hard. He's had an amazing year or so.
Starting point is 01:42:07 Okay. He's tipping out his comedy, growing a, growing his social. Is he selling out Chorley? He's doing, he's, my boy's selling out Chorley. Can he go to the South End Street Theater? So Thomas Green. Thomas Green's just added a sixth night at Leicester Square in London. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:42:25 Well, that, yeah, that he's. You know what, like he's shafting tickets. That's great, though. But that's what you want for all these people, man. I hate to say it, but that's what you want at a, like when I was his age, that's what I would have wanted. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:42:39 So good for that, man. Good for him. And the drive, whatever it is he's doing. I'm assuming it's all like social media shit and everything because that's, I don't, I don't see him on too many TV shows. No, he's not doing much TV. But what he's also doing is if he opens for someone or if he does, if he does hot water and does the weekend, after his set, he is stood in the bar with like business cards with a QR code on.
Starting point is 01:43:06 and he's like oh i'm going on tour take a business card scan that buy tickets come and see me at every gig now i used to do that i used to go around with a clipboard and collect emails for the mailing list he's just working to like the nth degree and collecting emails and selling tickets at club gigs and it's working massively and his and his social media's really booted off well that's good man that's well that's new world now aren't we because i because i'm going to be honest with you i was i was doing that before everybody I would always go out with my fans and go and party with them, like, from the beginning, man. Like, even of last- When you're taking emails, or you just...
Starting point is 01:43:44 No, I was just going out, right? It was, I was around before emails. Put your home phone number here. Oh, I've got a lot of phone numbers. I'll call you when I'm coming back. Dude, do you want to know what? Okay, yeah, I get that, man. So he got, like, what is he got a little...
Starting point is 01:44:05 Every time when I went to Edinburgh this year, I saw everybody had their poster with the QR code and gives you all your social media shit and all that sort of stuff, yeah? So, yeah, of course that's what you should do. I don't know why I'm not doing it. Maybe I could get them extra. It doesn't work if you're not good.
Starting point is 01:44:21 Huh? Like, look at Vittorio, look at Mike Rice. Yeah, they're not good. It only works if you're good. What a weird way for that sentence. I meant, I did not mean that. Hey, Victoria, Mike. You did not mean.
Starting point is 01:44:32 You did not go on those way. My rice. and they know it and it's not waiting and then you've got to be good like those guys fuck sake luckily
Starting point is 01:44:41 Victoria is not all over the internet so definitely save it for the roast buddy where do you want to be in five years oh I can't say that
Starting point is 01:44:50 Adam and Luke's country comedy world tour Adam and Luke me and Luke Holmes he lets you go first in the villain well yeah Gillis and Zapp Ryan
Starting point is 01:44:59 are doing it yeah yeah me and Luke Tom just to let you know in five years We're going to have some guest co-host spots going.
Starting point is 01:45:07 Yeah, I'll be here. Hey, me and you got the same drive, Dad. I want to sell out Anfield in my 40s. Let me see. That's it. I think you will, Adam. I think you could do it. Anfield?
Starting point is 01:45:23 What's on the offield? I think Finn will probably want to open. Yeah, I think he can open. As long as he does covers. That's fine. I'll do that. I will do that. Country covers.
Starting point is 01:45:34 I'll sell myself. None of your own music, buddy, you just don't have it. I just want this with a club. I want to own a comedy club. We need a comedy club. I can do that, yeah. I think the fact that hot water is so big for how small of a city Liverpool actually is,
Starting point is 01:45:52 it wouldn't be here. Maybe in Manchester, somewhere like that. I think Leeds is there for the taken as well. But I think Manchester is massive and only has the frog now. Okay. And if we could get the right space in Manchester, There's Creatures Comedy Club as well, which is obviously smaller venue and like really sort of indie brand. But I'd like to do a proper...
Starting point is 01:46:14 I was talking to Don at the Comedy Store a couple weeks ago. I went down and did Adam Rowan friends in London at the store. Yeah, I guess I wasn't there. But yeah, cool. Tell me about all your friends, I guess. I was like, I think there should be a comedy club where we're trying to get people who've got like profile on every night. and there's like New York style everyone's got profile
Starting point is 01:46:38 but the lineups just stacked with people doing new stuff whatever they want to do and people like you know you could put Mike Rice Vittorio me you Dan Paul Smith and
Starting point is 01:46:49 Janine Haruni all on one bill and then people aren't coming to see any of us it doesn't affect our tour sales but then do I mean yeah I do man I threw in a funny there I just didn't interrupt
Starting point is 01:47:02 I just want us to have I want a club our own space with its eyes. If the bill's like that every night, we're going to do just fine. Yeah. I think you will, though, Adam,
Starting point is 01:47:11 you could be like the Joe Rogan guy. Yeah. Like, you could totally do it. If you made a half-a-word comedy club, like, if you actually made have-a-word comedy club, people will go to it, man. And you know how I know? You don't want to know how I know?
Starting point is 01:47:28 Because every time I do this show, right? Every time I come on this one, my fucking, I'll tell you, I'm playing, your hot water and then I'm also playing the Cheltenham Playhouse so we need 70 more tickets to hold. Loads of loads of lids in the Cotswold. But what I'm saying is that
Starting point is 01:47:48 you're, they trust you guys, man. They trust you guys to set up that sort of shit. Uh-oh, somebody died? I don't know when that happened, but have you been on me for a while? It's better not be a charles. I've not looked at it for a while. What's up? What's happened? Let's take a break.
Starting point is 01:48:07 Let's take a break. You don't know what happened? Sorry about that. I thought I'd press the button that completely took my mic off for the whole of the last section, but it was absolutely... Well, it'd have been a better pod if you did.
Starting point is 01:48:22 Not bad. Not bad. Getting ready for the roast. Because you shit? You shit at this, that? I love roast comedy. Makes me feel bad. But everyone else is laughing, so that's fine.
Starting point is 01:48:33 Tom, you make. mentioned about people listening to this and watching this and then following you. Give us your handles, your socials, your websites so that people can come and see you on tour. I'm getting better out of damn. Thank you for asking me, by the way, because normally I thought it would be cool. I used to not do it because I thought it's too cool to give away social media stuff. But now I'm not.
Starting point is 01:48:55 So on Twitter, you can see me being racist. No. That's the best place to do it, though. They like follow over. Hey, man. And if you look, I love watching people do bad behavior. I just do. Like, there's talent.
Starting point is 01:49:09 And then if I could see something, buddy, stabbing somebody, I will. Of course, I will. I'll watch your handle, Tom. Oh, my handle is Tom stayed comic on Twitter. Tom stayed on Instagram, too. I mean, if you just... You're stayed.com. You're stayed.com on Instagram.

Starting point is 01:49:57 Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to, I think I'm at, I think I just hit. I was on 16,000 point four. You're on 16.5 now. Oh, 16.5. But I posted up my Glasgow Child Soldier joke
Starting point is 01:50:10 and that pushed me over the edge. Tom, do you ever the only like real-life TikToks, like dancers or anything around the house? Ah, no. Would you that? Because, because, Carl, what I'm trying to do right now is get all my back catalogue
Starting point is 01:50:25 on social media. And once I load that up, which will take years because I'm so prolific. But whatever. And then I will slam. I will go into Connor Byrne mode. I will go into Thomas Green mode. And I will slam it with whatever.
Starting point is 01:50:45 I'll go up there and just something I wrote casually. It will probably get a million views. But whatever. Right now I'm just putting my 20-year-old Tom out there. Just for when my great grandkids show up and they wonder what I look like. but oh i got something cool to tell you really cool man you know i'm related to a really famous pirate right no tom you've been in this podcast probably six times
Starting point is 01:51:12 and you've never said you're related to yeah yeah well i am okay there's a guy name olivier lavasse look that up okay lay now to spell it and then look that up lavasor yeah i found him yeah he's a french pirate you betcha that is one of my laboose leboose yeah the buzzer you bethers yeah the buzzer you bet How did you know you related to him? Because it's on my mother's side. My grandfather was an army communications guy.
Starting point is 01:51:38 And I knew that that guy was one of my relatives on the Lavaster side. Huge, man. That's so good. But what was really cool is he was the only pirate not to give in to the French thing. And he buried his fucking treasure. And they just found it. So I guess I'm in the money. What?
Starting point is 01:51:59 No. I got so excited that. What are you doing? But no, no, I was really excited because that guy has a real relative of mine way distant, and they found his treasure and all that sort of stuff. And I thought, you know,
Starting point is 01:52:15 I thought I'd throw that out here too. What was the treasure? It was millions and millions of gold bullions and all that shit. This guy was ruthless, man. He was awesome. Just a gold coin in it. Huh?
Starting point is 01:52:26 Is it like a block in it in my head? Oh, is it? Maybe it is a coin. No, it's bullions. Oh, is it like little, little... I don't know, balloons. What did they call? Yeah, it's gold balloons.
Starting point is 01:52:34 Balloons. I thought a bullion was like a, thought you could stack. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They are. It's the bars. Yeah, yeah. He had a whole bunch of them, man. That seems weird that a pirate had gold bars.
Starting point is 01:52:47 He was rich. I'm on his Wikipedia. He came from a bourgeois family. Bourgeois Z. So where's your money then? Huh? Exactly. Oh, I feel a special coming on, the Treasure Hunt special.
Starting point is 01:52:57 Oh, no. We'll go on a friends, maybe. Madagascar, buddy, that's what... We could do a treasure unspecial, because there is loads of rumoured buried treasure from era's gone by, isn't that? What?
Starting point is 01:53:09 Yeah. It's there? I don't think they... I'm sick of hearing about it. Rumored treasures, era's gone by the way. I thought of a good challenge for you guys, by the way. There's loads of treasure, like,
Starting point is 01:53:22 still out there where people, like, there's trillions of dollars worth of trinkets that no one's ever found. In bullion. Go and do it, actually. That would be a great special. You're coming with us. I will.
Starting point is 01:53:32 I'm not doing this without you. I will totally come with you. I got a shovel and shit. Like, we will fucking find it. I'll get my company. No wonder you've stopped trying with your career. You've got all that fucking pirate money.
Starting point is 01:53:42 I'm looking for fucking a new purpose in life. I mean, technically by the letter of the law, I was a pilot in my teenage years. Because I used to sell fake DVDs. Oh, yeah? Yeah, that would be... Technically, I'm a pilot.
Starting point is 01:53:55 You didn't rob a car. Would you have them? Yeah. He would have the keys with it? Yeah. Where'd you bury? Damn load a card online my head and fucking rob your car, mate, yeah. I think I had that bit.
Starting point is 01:54:07 I just want to know where you buried all your DVD. Oh, I wonder when the last time they ever sold the DVD was. And I didn't even know. No. Yeah. My last level one. End of an era of this, boys. It's the last one, though.
Starting point is 01:54:20 Three pound them. I love the pirate DVD, man. Where did you sell them? I used to, so I had a, we've covered this before on the pub, but it was a while ago. I had like sort of three jobs. So I sold sweets on the art at school. Okay. I had a paper round.
Starting point is 01:54:35 The paper round only paid £12 a week. Yeah, I didn't know. But the paper round was my customer base for my DVDs. So everyone I delivered a paper to, I would knock with like a list and be like, do you want any of these? And when I come to collect the money next week, I'll drop your DVD off. So I went round to all the doors and I'd have like me bag full of newspapers. But in there was also like envelopes with the people. people's orders for that week what did they i don't want to always get back to dick jokes of
Starting point is 01:55:06 fucking hate but did they do the mostly porn or did they sit there and go i don't think i sold any porn you can't be a 12 year old selling porn on a bike there's a light there's got to be a lot look get with the times it was three pound each two for the fiber yeah or uh and like that was for whole albums but for five pound for one disc you could pick any 10 songs and I'll put that up your own little compilation. Nice man. You were doing music mixtapes as well? Yeah? I did that. Give me ten songs.

What it is, is, okay, the 48-hour film challenge, you've got to make a short film, you've got 48 hours to do it. You've only got two days, okay? And they give you, you don't know what topic you're getting, so you don't know if you're going to get a comedy whore, Western drama, like... This literally sounds like our patron specials so far. Yeah, so you don't know which one you're going to get. Then you have to have, within that, you have to have an item that they give you, has to be in the movie, and a line also. has to be in the movie. Okay. And then the winner goes to Sundance and all that
Starting point is 01:57:33 shit, man. And so I was really gutted, because I was thinking about this on the drive over here. I was really gutted because Mason and me, my son, my son and me, we enter that shit all the time, man. And this was the first year that I didn't
Starting point is 01:57:49 get to be in it because I was on tour and all that sort of stuff. But I was sitting there going, when I was driving down, I was going, oh, fuck, I wonder what Adam and Dan would do in 48 hours for the film challenge and the best part about it would be I would love to see you win it
Starting point is 01:58:07 I think we could win it it's a funny fucking special anyway yeah because it'd be like inception it'd be like you guys filming you doing the 48 hour challenge plus you get the 48 hour film challenge thing so that's how long does a short film have to be it's five minutes
Starting point is 01:58:23 what five minutes court at the end though five minutes yeah five minutes five minutes no man you think you think you could do it it's fucking hard dude two minutes with film it's so hard it's so hard
Starting point is 01:58:38 you could do it huh I'd love a horror film yeah man but go just in the corporate tell me tell me when the 48 hour film challenge is in Liverpool there doesn't seem to be more announced at the minute in Liverpool there was one last year it was last
Starting point is 01:58:53 November okay last time they've done it here but there's a You should do I don't. Yeah, there's nothing at the minute. No, no, you've got to enter in, Carl. You can't just do it on your own. There's also an option of doing it somewhere else. Yeah, you can do it somewhere else.
Starting point is 01:59:06 Because they did, like, there's one in Marrakesh next week. We're not busy? I'm not going there without Uncle Robert. Is Sundance festival named after Butch and Sundance? Yeah, Robert Redford. The Sundance Kid, is it? Yeah. What's the film?

Starting point is 01:59:33 Utah. I was going to go Arizona. I'll stand corrected. Utah. Is it? That'd be cool. Look home. I'd be there.
Starting point is 01:59:40 You better. Watch Adam all starts. I reckon challenge accepted. Okay. Provisional. Tell me which one you're entering. No, you're in it. Tom, you don't get to just set it with you.
Starting point is 01:59:52 Yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah. Oh, dude. You just got a ringer, Okay? Because I'm like a pro at this shit. Yeah. That's amazing, Dan. I would love that. Shall we do some executive orders? This ain't just any order. This is an executive order. Tom, this feels dangerous.
Starting point is 02:00:14 Okay. But there's people in charge of the world that are fucking less likable than you. So if you were presidente of the world. There's people in charge of the world who are less likable than you You're everyone ate you But there's people who hates people even more You're likable and Trump's a cunt
Starting point is 02:00:38 That's all the man You're framing things quite badly Yeah yeah I just think you're framing's a bit off I've had some There's people in the world who are less likable than you Even you If I said there's people in the world If I went down
Starting point is 02:00:50 Do you know what There's people in the world Who are fat and organlier than you Would you have been like Oh thank you That's not wrong It's not wrong. But yeah, I'll see you.
Starting point is 02:01:00 There's bad people in the world, Tom. You're not one of them. What would you do? What are your executive orders? Okay, because I was prepared for this. Yeah. I was prepared for this, okay? So my first executive order,
Starting point is 02:01:14 I was really thinking about this, is I'd get rid of democracy. Okay. My first executive order, because democracy is not working. We're electing, we're electing like really shitty people. But you know what is working?
Starting point is 02:01:30 The postcode lottery. Okay? Everybody loves it. So what I think is that we get rid, we get rid of democracy, and so you got four years, and it's like jury duty. So we postcode lottery you,
Starting point is 02:01:51 and we get three from everyone, Okay, three from every whatever the area is that you got to represent. Constituency. Constituency. Three, and then we let them have a month to figure out what they want to do with this country. And then we vote on just those three.
Starting point is 02:02:13 Because I think, this is what I really think, that everybody I've ever known that wanted power, you know what I mean? Was a narcissist egotomaniac? Like, I never want to be Prime Minister should stop you from running for Prime Minister. Yeah, exactly. You wanting to be it makes you a gun.
Starting point is 02:02:31 Say that again, Carl. Like the Philosopher's Stone. You've got to want it but not want to use it to get it. It is. I don't think we're going to run this on a Philosopher's Stone though, are we? He encapsulated it perfectly, but your Adam was valid. I like it. But you see what I'm saying, man?
Starting point is 02:02:48 So that's my first executive order. Can I ask some questions about the old Postcode lottery? because I don't understand it still. What it looks like is someone just turns up in a van with some novelty checks and goes, hey, I don't know you know, but everyone in this postcode won this money. Is that a postcode lottery works, right?
Starting point is 02:03:07 You've got a postcard, haven't you? Yeah. I'm a real boy. So if you sign up to the postcode lottery now, your postcode is now, like, valid and in it, yeah? If everyone else on your street signs up, if your postcode wins, you all share the money.
Starting point is 02:03:24 Right. But if you're not signed up, then everyone else on your street is to win here, but not you. Shit. Right? So it's actually in your interest
Starting point is 02:03:31 to not have your neighbours in it. So don't even tell them about it. No, just threaten them. Yeah, yeah. Like send them letters, be like, you better not join the postcode lottery. Graham, you're fat cunt.
Starting point is 02:03:42 Don't even mention it to them. Yeah. No, I think death threats is well. I'm going to kill you if you sign up for the postcode lottery, Graham. Damn. Number 22. How much can you win?
Starting point is 02:03:53 We've won $10, yeah. How much can you win on it? $400,000. Yeah, yeah. There was, like, really close to us won it in Wishaw, man. Really close to us. Has your postcode already been done? Well, Trudy puts us in it all the time, man.
Starting point is 02:04:12 Because I'm like, I'm with that. I'm like, no way am I missing out on the postcode lottery. There's no way I'm missing out. Yeah, imagine the Gympie Navy. I've got, I've got, I think it's like, it costs you like five bucks or something stupid like that. But I've got like subscriptions for Sky and all of that sort of stuff. So this just fucking falls right in there just in case, man.
Starting point is 02:04:39 And every now and then you do win something. Do you know what I've decided? I don't think anything would make me happier. I'm more interested in watching like the documentary that could follow than you and Trudy winning the Euro millions. I think if you and Trudy won like 173 million pounds
Starting point is 02:04:59 He'd be dead. How long would you give her? How long do you'd think you last? What's the first thing you do? Unlimited money, how long do you think you're lasting for? Because that essentially is unlimited money, isn't it? No, it's not 173 million.
Starting point is 02:05:17 You can't even get a good yacht for that? Yeah. Yeah, we were, well... Can you not? God, well, let's start off with all the cosmetic surgery, probably. Would you get a new ad? For you or Trudy? Well, for Trudy, come on.
Starting point is 02:05:36 Fucking got to keep that bitch up. For me, for me, I think I would personally last... I'm not in my prime anymore, so about a year maybe. be the funnest year ever it would be the best year ever what are you doing with the year uh well you you definitely hit it on a yacht and definitely big ass houses but but i i'd like to hide from my problems so fucking i would i would dig in pretty hard to oh that's good hide in money yeah like i would so self-sabotage me for sure man and i would love it i would love every minute of it my biggest fear is if i went that hard and couldn't afford it so that's what we're
Starting point is 02:06:20 why I don't ever go that hard. Yeah. But as soon as I could afford it, oh my God, man. Of course I'm going to Charlie Sheen. I'm going to be like, you'll see me on TV going, I'm fucking drink tigers, blah.
Starting point is 02:06:32 You know, like, blah. All that sort of. So I think I would go, yeah, it would be about a year, man. But I would try everything for sure, man. Because now I got no fear. I don't think your life would really change much. You know?
Starting point is 02:06:45 I think you'd just have loads of money. I'd have a bigger house. Yeah, but that'd be here. Yeah. But when you try all the great drugs knowing that you could afford them for the rest of your life? Is that the reason you don't do them?
Starting point is 02:06:57 It's because if you get on smack, you can't afford it. Yeah, that's what I think. I think, like, the only reason people do heroin. How much, how much would you need for a wee? Like, how much would it cost? Seven smacks? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:08 Ray Charles was looking pretty good. Where would you buy it, Tom? Huh? Why would you buy his smack? No, but how much would it cost? Oh, it'd be good smack, though. No, how much is a smack addiction a week? Well, it depends, don't it?
Starting point is 02:07:21 Because, like, smack heads who live on the streets, they're getting bad smack, which is why they die. But, like, the good smack apparently helps you live longer. That's why Keith Richards is still performing. Helps you live longer. Yeah. How much is good? Because you can afford...
Starting point is 02:07:32 Keith Richards has been smacked off his tit since he was, like, nine or something, on he? He's keeping him alive. To be fair, if Keith Richards stopped doing smack, it would be your nana and fags all over, all over again. Your nana and cigarettes. Is they going to do with it? VAR. VAR.
Starting point is 02:07:48 LAT. Your nana and cigarette. Yeah, I'd say it costs a grand a week. Yeah. I don't know how much heroin you have at one time, but 0.1 grams of heroin is a tenor. Is it a tenor? So, yeah.
Starting point is 02:08:01 Say it was 500 pounds a week. Could you not afford a two-grat? It's not 500. Smack's not notorious. You're saying like the cheap one. Okay, then so you cut, I mean, please don't do this. You could afford the smack addiction, Tom. Yeah, but the problem is is that I could afford it now.
Starting point is 02:08:19 But I would eventually drain the money because if I was on smack, I wouldn't be able to write that show or anything. I'd just be sitting around. I'd like, if I'm going to do smack, I want to be able to just lie on the couch and be in the la, la, la, land that you're supposed, you know, and somebody comes and fucks me
Starting point is 02:08:37 and I don't even know what the fucks. Like, that's a smack. It doesn't sound very expensive, this smack lifestyle, you know. You've got 170 million pounds in the bank. I'm saying. I think you're spending about 1,500 quid a week. this is going to last forever yeah yeah
Starting point is 02:08:51 well no honestly though but if you say your damn rights because if Keith Richards is on it like maybe I don't know why I'm scared to do it actually I'm not called Trude right now I'll go hey Trude
Starting point is 02:09:04 We are not the source of your smacher Put the furnace down Trude The floor looks fine man I'd immediately I'd immediately buy a massive house and build a water park around it, like you'd be able to get from room to room on water slides.
Starting point is 02:09:22 Yeah, fucking Kim Junk. Like a four-year-old. You'd have a lot. Yeah? Tell me you wouldn't live in ours. If you lived in a water park? Water park house. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:09:31 That'd be amazing. Would you have to take your clothes off all the time, though? No. I've never dressed in the outside anyway. It's his water park. No, no, I'm saying like, if you're, if you're going out and the only way to get out is via a water slide.
Starting point is 02:09:43 No, I didn't say the only way out. That's a design for it. Big, big. dinner tonight. Oh shit. I'm going to be taking some candy floss to
Starting point is 02:09:51 your friends off yeah. Yeah. It'd melt wouldn't it? This is the craziest executive order
Starting point is 02:09:55 ever. We went from postcode lottery. So you become unlimitedly rich you're like yeah, I want a big house and
Starting point is 02:10:02 water slides and that's all you need. Yeah. Just a pint a ticket to the match and a mansion with water slides. And a paddle court.
Starting point is 02:10:15 Ninety paddle courts. Genuinely, I'd have have a paddle court built immediately. I'd have several water slides, like one or two, like, good Sion Park level ones, then a couple of, like, medium ones. Do I mean?
Starting point is 02:10:28 Just break up for fun. I don't know if it's too fun. I'd have a pub in there with a permanent bartender who his entire job is to just maintain the Guinness line so that at all times I can go in and get the best pint of Guinness in Liverpool. I'll take that job.
Starting point is 02:10:42 You still living Liverpool? Would you just be there on your own, though? What? Would you just be there on your own? well anyone would be welcome over you can come and hang out you come on the water slide have a pint right you need a monkey yeah get a monkey a big one that's a gorilla like a bubbles or like a like a little capuchin one bubbles two capuchins please yeah well and it doesn't even need to be that big of it out as long as I can put me pub and my paddle cord isn't it and water
Starting point is 02:11:11 slides going into all the room I can imagine you into other rooms feels a bit unnecessary so I just need a couple of acres then to put a water park on. 170 million and get you that. Yeah. Keep 10 million in. But wouldn't you get bored after like about seven years of water slides?
Starting point is 02:11:30 Seven years? I'll be so sad the day when you get on the water sliding and go, this isn't doing anything for me. I just don't think water slides will ever not be fun. Yeah, they're fun because you don't go on them very often.
Starting point is 02:11:42 I don't think that's true. We've got to match all the time. It's like that. You don't go every day. No? but if you're on the water's light every day, it would quickly lose its charm. Remember I heard the song,
Starting point is 02:11:51 I wish it were Christmas every day? I don't. Did you realize how pretty you don't act? I thought it was an anti-Christmas song, but it's not. I thought it was an anti-Christmas song. I wish it could be Christmas every day. He ate Christmas, him? You get bored with them.
Starting point is 02:12:12 Tom, have you got any other executive orders? Okay. another one. Got another one. Okay. Here we go. I would make it mandatory that every citizen
Starting point is 02:12:26 needs an hour of therapy every week. That's a good one. That's a good one. Are they supposed to be funny or real, by the way? Both. Whatever you want. I was really thinking about them going,
Starting point is 02:12:39 okay, yeah, yeah, because you got all the fucking loonies, right? Like, if you sat them down, if you gave them like an hour outside the bubble just with like a some sort of therapist and them sitting in the couch going I don't know why I want to put a flag on all the overpasses you know what I mean
Starting point is 02:13:00 sort of talk you down from the ledge from there I go to therapy once a week an hour a week and it's fucking class and it stops you'd have an arguments with people because you just win you see a therapist about all the stuff she's doing yeah and he stopped putting flags up So that's great.
Starting point is 02:13:15 Yeah. Just, I don't know why I'm so angry at people from foreign countries staying in hotels. What do you think of that? I know if everyone was right and happy, do you think? Therapy doesn't make you happy. No, why you're not? No, what I'm saying, all these people who are painting flags aren't. I'm right, though, aren't.
Starting point is 02:13:36 The flag painters aren't happy, are they? No. They're angry at nothing. Hmm. They're angry. No, they're angry at what they're being fed. You know what I mean, but I mean, yeah, angry at the story they're being told you.
Starting point is 02:13:47 I want to rewind that too, though, by the way. Do you go for an hour once a week to, what do you talk to her about or him or whatever? It's a woman, I assume. Okay. But I haven't actually asked, so you never know. I talk about my childhood, about my missus, about my job, about my life.
Starting point is 02:14:09 Whatever sort of comes up. And what is, okay, what do you get out of it then, man? Like, I love it. I just... You know, I think it's very easy to go through a lot when you're a child and not really pay attention to how fucked up it is. Everything you go through as a child
Starting point is 02:14:28 to you as a child feels like what every child is going through. Right. But that's not necessarily true. And then it just takes someone else to listen to a story and go, hey, you know, there. He should have hugged you. He shouldn't have locked you in the back garden. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:14:43 Sorry about that, Adam Are you locked in a garden? What? Locked you off the house. Yeah. Oh. No, there was one time, this wasn't when I was a child.
Starting point is 02:14:54 This was really funny though. Okay. So when my dad started drinking quite heavily, and me and him started having really big arguments because my mum had already, like, died from alcoholism. So I was like, you can't be doing this in the house. And he was like, this is my fucking house, fuck you. Which now that I'm a bit older,
Starting point is 02:15:12 I sort of understand the sense. a bit more. But we'd have a big argument and he kicked me out and told me to fuck off out the house. I must have told this story on the pod at some point. Oh, I know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 02:15:25 I just. So we'd not long had Sky TV installed in the house and what my dad didn't know is that you could get an app on your phone and control your Skybox from the phone. So my dad had kicked me out the house we're having like a big argument
Starting point is 02:15:41 and he was drunk. And I just stood outside the window and just kept changing the channel. And I could see him in the living room. I'm going, this fucking, fucking work. He's getting more and more angry. And he keeps changing it back.
Starting point is 02:15:55 And then every time his ass would touch the couch, I'd just change it again. He'd get up, he'd be, it's a fucking, he's losing his mind. So then I called the house phone. And he answered it. So I just put a voice on and I was like, hi, I think you're having some problems with your sky service.
Starting point is 02:16:11 We've got like a few things that are flashing up. on the dashboard here at the control center. And he's like, yeah, it's not fucking way. I keep changing it. And it keeps going to the wrong fucking, fucking, and I was like, yeah, I can see that, yeah. Well, often with what we see is the problem when this starts happening is it means
Starting point is 02:16:31 there's something blocking the sky dish. Maybe like something has fell off the roof. Maybe it might be like a bird that has died or like fell and knocked the dish a bit. So could you just go outside and just check the, check the dish and see if there's anything blocking it and he's like,
Starting point is 02:16:46 right, I'll stay on the phone, I'll fucking do that now. And my dad went out and walked like sort of 20 yards away from the house to look up at the Skydish. And as he was doing that, I ran in the house and locked him out. But then he did it back to Adam and Adam,
Starting point is 02:17:01 I believed it. That's hilarious. Adam, that's so funny, man. Why, why, I, I, I had El had alcoholics, raging alcoholics in my family, but none of them were mean. No, I think what happened was.
Starting point is 02:17:19 You know, like, I'm a raging alcoholic, but I would never mean to my kids, man. No, I think what happened truly, and we've never really talked about this on the pod, when I first moved in with my dad, I realized how much he drank, which he always did. But like, when I lived with me,
Starting point is 02:17:36 my mom was a dependent, unfunctioning alcoholic by the end. So when I see my dad drank, as well. I was like, you can't do this. This is why we've had to move with you because my mum drinks so much that so I was like, stop doing that and he was like fuck you, no, like I'm
Starting point is 02:17:52 still functioning. I'm not your mum. And he refused to accept the parallel and I was just like how can you not see the parallel and that caused arguments and friction. So he wasn't just like getting drunk and then being like fuck, he wasn't that guy. Okay. But like he would, any
Starting point is 02:18:07 questioning of his habits he would fucking reject that. Right. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, no, no, that makes me an alcoholic. I'm not an alcoholic. I just like a fucking drink. It doesn't matter that I'm doing, like, I'm fine. I'm still going to work. I'm still doing this.
Starting point is 02:18:21 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So, like, he refused to accept there was any issue. But as I was like, you're doing exactly what my mom did. And he's like, I don't care. You don't get to tell me what to do. You're my son. I'm your dad. This is that work.
Starting point is 02:18:32 So it wasn't like he was abusive. He was reactive to criticism. Okay, cool. Do you know what I mean? So he could have used an hour therapy. Absolutely. He could have seen. So how many dudes like that could use,
Starting point is 02:18:44 so that would be a great executive order, probably calm this world down? Our dad's generation in therapy would be a tough watch. It'd take a while to break them down. Wow. I think, as much as I do think therapy helps people, and I'm a big advocate for it because I go.
Starting point is 02:19:02 Oh no, yeah. I go. I do think that the reason people are having less and less children over time is that we're all becoming more self-aware because of therapy. So, like, I think going to therapy and realizing that even
Starting point is 02:19:20 though your parents did their best, they fucked you up, makes you go, how am I going to fuck my kids up? Best to just not have them. So I genuinely think that is a massive contributing thing. I think as generations are getting more self-aware,
Starting point is 02:19:36 less toxic, starting to question, hey, when my granddad used to scream at my nan and lock her in the broom coming for a few hours. Maybe that was a bad idea. Oh, yeah, we had a lot of that. Like, I think... There's so much of that. Like, as people get sort of less toxic, more self-aware and question how their parents and
Starting point is 02:19:55 grandparents affected them. And also, one thing that my therapist is particularly keen on, like, I've spoke about things that, like, my mum and my dad sort of tried to do well when I was young, but, like, it turns out what they did, despite having good intentions, probably had significant negative effects, like one example, which I've spoke about on stage, but I've never really sort of therapies until recently. Like, I was really conscious of my lazy eye. You don't want to be on this coach, man. I was very conscious of my lazy eye when I was a kid, and I'd get picked on and bullied for it. And my mum's attitude towards that always was,
Starting point is 02:20:30 I love your eye. I would never change it. I think it's great. It makes you who you are. I wouldn't change it. Yeah. And even as a four-year-old, I was like, well, that's bullshit. shit of course she'd fucking change it like makes my life shit you hate seeing me miserable of course she'd fucking so the fact that she tried to make me feel better by saying i like your floor it meant i never really trusted anything she ever said because i knew she was capable of lying to protect me do you know i mean yeah i do so so she did she did what she thought was right and was very well intention but actually it had a significant bad effect and then you go well if my kid was born
Starting point is 02:21:10 with a deformity, would I just be like, yeah, I hate your fucking legs? Even though it was his eye. That'd be harsh. I hate them. Because it depends on the child, but me,
Starting point is 02:21:23 what would have benefited, what I know now is I think I'd have dealt a lot better with my mum going, your eyes fucked and I love you and it would obviously be better if it was not fucked. But the fact that it is
Starting point is 02:21:38 doesn't make you less of a person. It just means people are going to be a country and we have to deal with that. Right. That would have been better for me. But to a different child, what she would have done would have been the right thing to do. Right. And you never know what that's going to be. And I think the fact that people are going to therapy and realizing these things that
Starting point is 02:21:55 your parents are always guessing it's their first time on the planet as well. Like, you're going to fuck it up. You just don't know how. And I think that is making people have less children. Yeah, my opinion. Yeah. I agree 100%. 100%.
Starting point is 02:22:15 Being a parent myself, there's no way I've not scarred my children. There's no fucking way. But you're right. For me to do, she did her best. Yeah. Is what I don't think a lot of people would realize. Like everybody's doing their best. So long as you're not like, what's the guy that ended up fucking his daughter in Germany?
Starting point is 02:22:37 Yeah. Fritzel. That doesn't seem like that was his best. He could have done better with that. But that's an interesting philosophical question, isn't it? Did he do his best? No. If he'd done his best, they'd have him been found?
Starting point is 02:22:51 Yeah. Oh, no, we're not saying be the better peterophile abuser. Yeah, like, oh. Great sex offender. If he was the goat of that? Great sex offender. Not a great parent. Yeah, but like, was he the best sex offender that he could be?
Starting point is 02:23:06 Wouldn't one more law? have done a better job well he could go and that's why I don't want to have kids will I ever hit the fritzel level just one more lock spending a lot of money with BNQ on locks
Starting point is 02:23:20 do you don't have kids dead no I'd talk to Adam too much I just jizz into my hands I still want kids I think I'll nail it right because I've been to therapy and I've figured it all out no way
Starting point is 02:23:34 but like everyone else I understand why they're like I'm going to this off. Yeah. Do you know what it means? Yeah, I still had them. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:23:44 And I might fuck him up a bit. Yeah, well, you know, it's not that you might, you will. You just don't know how. Yeah, so who isn't fucked up then? Yeah. I think everyone is a bit.
Starting point is 02:23:53 But that doesn't that create the character, that doesn't that, that history create who you are? Like mold this person in the fires of fucking hell or whatever. Like, you're like, you wouldn't be this great comedian.
Starting point is 02:24:08 and if all that shit didn't happen. Yeah, that's why I'm mean to my kids because I'm like, you've got to think about your first stand-up special for the shows. I'm like, Etta, you're crying now, but this is going to get on Netflix. Look at the big picture.
Starting point is 02:24:22 Back in the basement. That is what Bill Bear said to my dad when he met him. So the first time I work with him and introduced him to me dad afterwards, my dad said to Bill Bear, you know, you've been a big inspiration, to Adam, like, a lot of his comedy, like, has sort of come from following you. And Bill said, don't blame me for this shit.
Starting point is 02:24:45 Anyone who's this funny, their parents, fuck them up. This is all on you. Yeah, man. It's such a good quota. And then Adam's dad said, class, isn't it? And Adam's dad said, don't tell me what the fuck you do. Jesus shit.
Starting point is 02:25:01 Lock him out, Adam. Tommy, that's a pod. Thank you so much for coming down. Go and see Tom. on tour he is one of the most amazing comics you will see

Starting point is 02:25:29 I've ever written a song to a title. The Instrumental was made first and we called it The Comeback and I kind of wrote it to that. You're excited about this one? I'm really excited.
Starting point is 02:25:36 Worked with a new producer. It's a really excited. really interesting sound. And I put, yeah, my heart and soul into it's a new sound. Is it? Definitely a new sound. Yeah, so I hope people...
Starting point is 02:25:45 He's good, Tommy. Listen to it. No, I, like, I've already checked out on Spotify and all that. So if I'm driving home, I'll be able to listen to this. You'll be able to listen to it. It was out on Friday yesterday. It's, uh, it's good. Yeah.
