He said the yesterday?
What?
He told us yesterday.
No, but you haven't seen it.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
They are beautiful.
I had them.
I had them in school.
Gandhi would have worn them?
No, Dan said Jesus Christ.
No, they're not Jesus.
Like, they're not open toe.
They're absolutely beautiful.
Oh, is Jesus not open toe, was it?
I mean, they're nearly open toe.
Yeah, but they're not open toe?
No, but there's toe visible.
There's so much foot.
If you're trying, you're absolute hardest.
Then me toes are visible, yeah?
but try my absolute hardest
I'm letting me I'm letting me feet breathe man
it's a springtime
suffocate them
kill your feet I drown your feet
I love them
are you so much yeah
are you sure though
I'm fine and me style man I know but
do you want to maybe lose I'm a mix
of uh
lesbian Italian tailoring and
Americana heritage
and blow my head off by fucking
show green party voting
blow my
Lesbian.
Americana.
My granddad had them.
My granddad was American.
My granddad was American.
He used to say, I tell you what, I am very Americana.
They're the Italian British son-l.
Yeah.
You're fucking idiot.
Oh, yeah.
Let him breathe.
Kill them.
I actually think they're fine.
Like, I've got no issue with them.
What you said afterwards,
I want a big issue with...
What?
My style is...
What was it?
Italian tailoring.
There's no big words so far, by the way.
And Americana heritage wear.
Romanian gypsy.
What's the heritage of Americana?
What?
Shut up.
Shut up.
No.
What?
Slavery.
Slavery and like genocide.
That's their history, isn't it?
Slavery is Americana.
Their history is not very long, is it, famously?
And the start of it was bad tink.
And now it's bad tink.
Do you remember when 12 years of slave come out in Sainsbury's,
don't know, like, get the slave look mannequin.
What?
Like, they, they had the 12 years of slave DVD next to a mannequin of a,
and it was dressed from stuff in their, like, clothing bear.
Like, turn their laptop round show down.
He's not lying.
He's right.
He ain't lying.
He did.
He is right.
He ain't a slave look.
Chorda, Kamala.
Get the slave look.
Do you remember the ranching?
Tennessee where they were showing us around.
And then they were like, oh.
So funny.
And these are a slave quarters,
but we prefer you don't show that on your film.
You know,
all right,
yeah,
yeah,
we'll just ignore that.
Why don't you just knock them down?
They were like,
wow,
is there a bit over there?
And I was like,
all right,
you're not proud of it,
but like,
come drink some moonshine.
Don't look at the sad place.
Yeah.
There's like a shack was.
We let them go.
Come on,
you know.
Yeah, that was weird.
That was.
Got a bit airy.
Dark.
Yeah.
Funny that they didn't want us to show it as well.
So anyway, Americana, Italiano, coffee, whatever you are.
Is that a TikTok thing?
Is this...
It's all a TikTok thing.
No.
It's an Instagram thing.
Pinterest.
TikTok?
It's a lifestyle thing, ma'am.
I'm just, you know, discovering who I am.
And I'm okay with it.
Dad, he's always been Americano Italian.
He just didn't know.
When he was in W, when he was a kid, he was like, I'm Americanano, Italian.
I remember his first gig
as a 18, 19.
When he was selling discos and school on DVDs,
like, hey, I'm Americano Italiano, man.
I put some fucking school shoes on.
No, I'm letting him breathe.
I find my style.
Have a fucking crunchy, leave me be.
There was no profit margin on countries.
You're selling countries?
Who are you?
Bondi.
Bundy?
Bondi.
Yeah, that's when he put weight on.
What were you going to ask, Finn?
Do you look back at the start of you discovering your fashion journey?
Oh, don't humour it like this.
I want to sting in this tale, mate.
There is.
Do you look back at, say, the red cardigan and think that was a misstep?
Or do you still back it?
I definitely think I've made a couple of missteps
and I will continue to do so.
Because, you know, that is the journey of finding your style
is getting it wrong.
That's life, man.
You're libel.
But I fully stand behind the red cardigan.
No, you don't.
You don't.
You don't own it.
I do.
You don't.
Have you worn it since?
I bet you don't own it.
Have you worn it?
Will you wear it on the next episode?
To show you a picture of it then.
That means you owns it.
I am going to.
Alex, take a picture of my cardigan cupboard.
It'll be towards the left with the burnt oranges.
Babe.
Would you do your favour and go up into the attic?
Please ignore all of the mess.
And in my cardigan cupboard, there is my red cardigan.
everyone at the studio thinks that I've got rid of it
they think I see that cardiganism mistake
and I don't and I've kept it
and I want you to just go up and take a picture of it
and show me that it's still there so I can show everyone
Hey Alex it's Dan Nightingale
So sorry for ruining your fucking morning
If there's any open-toes sandals could you burn them with fire?
All right, thank you.
Goodbye.
Yeah, now I've still got it.
I did a bit of
cleared out last week.
I did, I did look at the red cardigan and think,
do you know what?
I got a bit of shit for that.
Maybe it should go.
And then I restyled it with some more modern pieces.
Oh, my God.
Did you put your glasses on with them?
It was the glasses.
It was the glasses.
It was the glasses combination that didn't, you know.
Yeah, it was the combination.
The cardigan's class.
Just a pop of colour, man.
You should all try it.
Harry's doing it.
Look at you.
Blach, black.
Obviously, to be fair, I did try it on Adam Day,
it was freeing.
What was?
It wasn't a cardigan though, was it?
It was the same.
He copied it, yeah.
Yeah.
Thought wear red me, mate.
Yeah, bright red.
Buffy, man.
I mean, that's me.
Oh, is it?
Because of the football rivalry.
I'm not wearing gang colors.
You got a red cap on now?
It's not.
Maroon.
It's Maroon.
It's Mopo Foffy.
You know what?
Oh, it's mad.
Like, I, I
accidentally don't wear red.
Am I colorblind?
What?
That is, is that not a bit brown?
No, it's in the reddy brown, it's like,
Burgundy.
It's like, it's red.
It's red.
It's red. It's maroon.
It's not red. It's maroon.
That's bright.
Maroon.
I think my grandad said like,
he'd never have a red car.
I was like, oh, it's on.
Well, last.
But I wouldn't.
Is it, is this your kind of that played for Aston Villa?
He did.
What?
What?
What?
John crew?
Just buckle up for this
because this, I think I was cleaning off the whiteboard
or were we cleaning out a corner of the studio.
Just like, yeah, yeah, when my granddad played for Aston Villa,
I went, what?
And I've just sat on it because I wanted to do this here.
Carl's granddad played for Aston Villa.
So when he was, my granddad was at Man City
and then World War II happened.
How old was he?
What?
Back then?
Yeah?
I couldn't tell you.
he's a hundred nine now
yeah he was
he was at man city
and then World War II happened
so he just became a plasterer
that's what happens
it happened to Phil Fovin
that's what he's shit
late 50s
didn't go to fight the war
he was like I'm not fighting this fucking war
if I can't play football
he was like someone's gonna have to
replaster the stuff that the Germans bomb
so he did the chipies and that
conscientious plastered
but once again Carl's granddad
played for Aston Villa
no late 50s early 60s
he was a
professional footballer wasn't a big thing back then it was
semi-pro and then you had the trade as well
because you didn't end enough from football
he was on Villa's books
but then he was a massive alcoholic in his early 20s
like he used to leave football and go
with the pub like that was as fucking
I imagine that was a big thing back then anyway
ended up at Prescott Cables which is a
lower league team in the
Northwest and then retired at like
25 literally due to alcoholism
and then the doctor
said if you drink another drop of alcohol
when he was like 28, he said
you'll just die. And he stopped drinking all together.
He hasn't died of alcohol in 60 years.
I feel like that, you know,
saying, oh, they're all boosers.
I feel like they were until
Arsend Venger turned up.
In my head, even in the early 90s,
they're all drinking.
Yeah.
And then they were crackheads.
And then they were crackheads.
He brought French cracked.
And then Burkamp came over and he was like,
God, he's on the crack pipe.
But he's like, that's the techers, isn't it?
But that's called on the flying Dutchman.
He was always high.
But then he had to,
he stopped football and went into,
like, Joe Cameladers,
like Stanlow,
like building boats and like fucking,
he would rather,
basically back then,
you just worked with your hands,
didn't you?
So he went into like a change.
Yeah, Tom Finney was one of the best footballers
in the world,
and he was a plumber.
Yeah.
That's mad.
Yeah.
Fiorentina tried to buy him, apparently,
in an off season.
And they were offering him,
like, 10 times the wages
that he was getting at North End.
So Tom Finney went into
See the chairman was like
The Fiorentina want to buy me
And he was like
Do they?
Well they can fuck off
Because you play for Preston
And he just
They had no control over where they went
Yeah yeah
And that's because
Preston knew they would lose
Their in-house plumbing as well
Yeah
They were like
Who's gonna
You know
Face the bogs
This world-class footballer
Surprise Venice
Went after them
So it's all that fucking leakage out
You know what I mean
Nice
Benetia
Nice
I went swimming with his grandson
I won't his grandson
It was last week
They asked me to leave
But I'd paid entry
Is he a Finney
He had a say-name
I think so yeah
That's sick
That's a cool saying to have it by you
At Preston Baths
Like the old fucking Victorian baths
That aren't there anymore
Like the we had them at our school as well
Like fucking horrible
Late 19th century swimming pool
that was just fucking grim.
It feels like swimming bats are like a dead thing.
If you said let's go for a swimer.
Like there's the odd like sort of spa and sport centre,
but like there used to be what?
Heat waves.
Peter Lloyd.
Peter, like there was like places to go that were like the bats,
like real sunscenters, that's the lair.
The new one now in a sequel, yeah.
Yeah.
Two.
Like that used to be like such a,
I don't air of people being like,
oh, I'm taking the kids, the swim bats.
They still do.
Yeah, there is.
We used to do Mick of David.
I'm going to go swimming
and you go Peter Lloyd and stand in the pool.
Is this more about where you are in life
rather than the availability of swim must.
Yeah, we're going swimming.
Probably not.
We go to a spa.
We've been loads.
Yeah, yeah, spa, yeah.
If you were like, I'm telling you right now,
if heat waves were still late,
I've been there once a week.
What's heat waves?
It's similar to sun, sun, sun.
Waves in the big pool.
You go to a spa for a spa.
You don't go to a spa to do 50 lengths.
I've told you before,
I've never got to swim,
I've never gotten to swim, my entire length.
You're the least athletic, not fat.
I know.
Why would you,
I'm going for a swim.
I can't get my head round it.
Swimming pool is to relax in.
Swimming pool in David Lloyd
is the same as swimming pool
on Aldi to me.
If you go on an Aldi
and start to do Lems
what the fuck are you doing?
But when the people do it
at David Leroy
I know, that's why he goes to the beach,
he just lent of the sea.
I would if there wasn't monsters.
No, I don't mind.
That's an old person exercise,
isn't it?
Yeah, because it's low impact.
With the breast stroke, yeah.
Good for you.
your legs.
No, but there's no, you're not.
Yeah, you're not.
You're fucking your hips or whatnot.
I don't mind a little swim after a,
after a gym, but it's not, I don't go,
I'm going swimming today to do some lengths.
Sometimes I do one length.
Do I mean?
I get in and I go, do you know,
I'm going to have a fucking boss little swim today
and I get the other end and I go,
I don't want to overdo it.
It's not, it's not overdo it.
Yeah, taking the kids for a swimmer's class.
Are they doing their badges?
We got, no.
There's the, there's the,
there's the Holy Grail.
Oh my God.
next to my Pendleton
wool vest
Yeah, we're on Vinton
that turn
Pendleton is that American
If that card is the one
I think
Actually,
you know what
You're in a true
It's a true value that
If or when
Like a worn Freddie Mercury
jacket
You could sell off
I'm wearing after the next episode
And I'm going to style it better
This time
And you're all gonna be
Fucking eating your words
Me
Just don't wear the glasses
With her
I think that was it
You just basically
dressed up as Jim Royal
People noticed
Why aren't your kids
Doing the Badgers
Etters at the age
Yeah she
She did swimming lessons and she can swim pretty well.
Jack really didn't like the swimming lessons, so we just allowed it.
Is it still Kellogg's?
It's Tony the Tiger still hand them out.
No, it's at Chester University.
And the...
The Tragers at Chester University?
Yes, yeah.
That was the credits of like Kellogg's, wasn't it?
You used that Tony the Tiger doing your badges?
Kellogg's, yeah.
The certificate I've still got from me doing me, I think, 2,000 meters or whatever.
It's Tony the Tiger.
He's been for six-half hours leaving.
see how far he can get.
Tony's Agar's going,
you're great at swimming.
Someone wrote to swim at the bum with it.
You used to get your Kellogg certificate.
Oh, we didn't get Kellogg's.
You got little badges that you'd sew onto your,
I don't know, you know what they were for.
You kecks.
Oh, yeah.
Some people had them on there.
Yeah.
Or he's mixed out in, really.
I did 1600 meters.
That was the longest I did.
Yeah.
I did 2,000, I think.
Did you do the pyjamas,
dive into the bottom of the pool?
Swim two kilometers as a child?
He did 1,600 metres.
You did?
But you didn't swim 2,000?
Why?
Where?
In the pool?
In the heat waves.
That's what he did mine.
No, we used to go to height and leisure centre.
Can you find out how many lengths of height and leisure centre, 2,000 metres is?
That's not that ridiculous.
To be fair, I think I did 1600 metres, but I walked it and pretended to swim on the top.
That's what I do anyway.
Hello, Alex.
It's Dan again.
Can you go into Adams' awards cupboard and get out the 2,000 metre swimming badge that he dead.
definitely got from height and leisure centre, and I'd guess, like,
9099. Thanks. It's in my dad's actually.
Oh, it's. It's on the fridge.
25 meters. Okay, so how many lengths is there?
80 is it? 80 lengths as a child.
Yeah? I just can't refuse to believe her.
Just because you weren't capable. I don't get me five and gone,
done, month. The, the, life-saving badges.
Yeah. That was a whole, there was, that was, that was,
that was bronze silver gold. I got bronze, which was the gold.
and save the brick.
Yeah.
In like probably two meters.
A house girl made it more like dangerous.
They'd shoot one of us.
That was silver.
Silver bullet lad.
Shoot one of us and be like,
there you go.
Go and save Jamie.
Right.
Here's a kilogram of cocaine.
Swim.
Have you seen in this open
and seen a bat mom
and the Joker shoots them like that?
That's how they'd do it as well.
You just pick them.
Blot me head off.
Go get them.
It's the kids you forgot their uniform
with their swimming thing.
You wouldn't do it anymore.
You get shot.
I was always full of poo as well.
The worst.
When it was fucking P.E.
And you'd forgotten your kit.
Oh.
There was like a cupboard in the corner of the changing room
with some of the nastiest looking shit.
We weren't made to do that way, were we?
I just don't think we ever forgot our kid.
No, because P.E. was the best.
A lot of swimmer as well.
I never forgot a P.
In five years of high school,
you never once forgot your P.
That was the best day of the week.
Double P.E.
Jesus Christ.
Monday, they started.
Monday was triple Pee.
They start your week with three hours of footy.
You're not forgetting that.
Right, well, I didn't do three hours of footy to start a week.
It was usually Wednesday afternoon, I think.
You just weren't that sporty way.
I bet you've never forgot your cello.
A budget's massive.
You can't forget the cello.
I forgot your cello, though.
I had a trombone in year seven.
Oh, like Sonia off his tenders.
trumpet.
I saw their bifter, are they?
Did you have trombone lessons in year seven?
I had trombone lessons in year seven.
I've said this on the pod.
I went into the music shop
and I was like, that looks class.
And it was the case.
The case was marooned, stroke red.
What?
Go on.
So Sonia from me stend there's bifter,
do they?
Rumi day.
All right, well, we just put a pause
on my trombone.
It was on Twitter.
It might, it was a...
Yeah, but in the video...
Why do you focus up now?
I sent Sonia from EastEnders and then I said I saw her Biff and then Finn pulled it back.
I just saw it on Twitter and swiped off.
It made me sad.
Why?
I don't want to see Sonia from EastEnders as Biff, man.
It's one of the top, one of the bottom three in the country, I think.
Is this a hope solo moment?
No, I'm just not in Sonia from Eastenders.
So when you force fed their Biff, I mean, I didn't chew, I didn't Google it.
You didn't chew it?
I didn't search it out.
I was going, someone went, yeah.
I was like, oh.
Do I think maybe you need to curate a better list of people you follow?
No, no, it was basically like an, on your for you.
Well, then that's definitely on you,
no.
That means, that means Twitter's algorithm.
No.
And seeing what you look at and spend time looking at and gone,
do you know what he needs?
He needs Sonia's Biff.
I clicked on a tweet and it was a reply to the tweet.
What was the tweet?
Nothing to do with Sonia for me to spend.
Hang on.
Hang on, you clicked on a tweet and a reply to that was,
this is Sonia for me,
Stender's Biff.
Yes, but it wasn't, it wasn't like them words, but yes.
And I was like, wow.
How'd you know it was his?
Guys, she's got a face, man.
It probably AI all fake.
Where was this angle?
Where was this picture taken from?
Where you could clearly see a bit fan of head?
It's like, she wasn't taking it.
It was taken from the end of the bed.
Up.
And she was like,
she was like, she had a trombone.
I mean, I mean, in the world of AI.
I think, definitely AI.
It might be.
Have you also seen Marge Simpson sucking off Flanders?
Not on purpose.
Yes.
Yeah.
Your Honor.
It's not real.
It's not real, is it?
I can draw that, though.
I don't want you to.
Someone drew it.
But this was, you know,
AI.
Even if it was, even if it was,
it was,
it still was her face with her Biff,
you know what I mean?
I mean, like,
AI struggles with,
like Tom Cruise's face.
I think they'd struggle
with Natalie Cassidy.
They didn't.
There's loads of her, though.
There's not that many Tom Cruise films.
She's been on EastEnders for years.
When I was discovered of my,
sexuality,
I used to watch a bit of
cartoon poem. I've watched like Fred
from Scooby-Doo, Wallop, Velman and Daphne.
Nice. I always
stay clear that I never understood it.
So you can't watch Spirited away
but you can wank to
cartoon. You hate
you hate animated films. Yeah, because Dan.
He's not Japanese, but he is a white guy
so he can put himself in Fred's shoes
and be like, I want to Valmy.
So I'm like, I would be in charge.
I would be Wallop and Daphne.
Yeah.
I've said on the record that I don't like animated films
No what you said was like up
What you are?
Yeah you said you can't connect with them
Because you can't put yourself in the
Because you're like I'm the main character
I'm trying to be funny
I love a cartoon mate
Dick out
Talk it now
Amazing
Yeah I'm going into watching like Martin
Getting well-y-class
Have I like
No you said you can't enjoy it as much
Like you said up isn't sad
Because it's a person who's been drawn
Right, that makes sense.
That's what you said.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I can still enjoy up as a film.
Yeah.
But I'm just not arced.
Oh, my wife's there.
Shut up.
You're the fucking drawer.
No, they just stop drawing.
Yeah?
It's kind of what I was.
Shut up, you're a fucking drawing.
I have to be the cinema.
Not assed to draw them.
She can't have kids.
Shut up.
You're a drawing.
Shit montage.
Didn't make me sad at all.
Get the balloons out.
Let's go flying.
She's good, but I'm not like.
You know when he's like trying to rescue Princess Fiona
and the dragon's fucking like,
I'm not like worried he's going to die,
am I? Because he's a fucking ogre.
And ogres aren't real.
Yeah.
But all films are actors, aren't they?
So that's not real either.
You have to suspend a bit of disbelief, don't you?
Yeah, but he can put himself in the actor's role
because he's like, I'm like that.
Because he's Tom Cruise.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Nice.
Didn't the donkey fuck the dragon?
Yeah.
Spoilers.
Nice.
There's a cartoon I could wang to.
Oh yeah, the donkey, the dragon's the lady, isn't it?
Yeah.
So yeah.
There's a new one coming up.
I'll be there opening day.
They've rewritten it, haven't they?
Yeah.
Because people guess the, they release a teaser,
and people guess the entire plot of the film.
What are we on now?
Shrek 5?
Yeah.
I think it stopped.
Shrek one, Shrek 2, Shrek the third,
Shrek.
Shrekly ever after?
Yeah, something like that.
Right.
It was Shrekly ever after.
I didn't think it was Shrekly ever after.
Because it doesn't really roll off the tongue.
I thought he was just happily
with Rasputting.
Not Rasputt him.
Who's the fella?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shrek forever after.
Shrekfully forever after
isn't the name of it.
I stopped at two,
I think.
I think I've seen Shrek the third
but wasn't ass.
That's the one with the Diderot.
Pussy Boots was good.
The last wish.
Which one of the best films
of all time?
Two.
I've seen that one.
With the Simon Cowe bonus feature.
Do you remember that?
No, absolutely not.
Do you not remember the
DVD bonus feature with Simon Cowell.
That's the bit I watched the most.
They did like American Idol, but with the
people from Shrek in it.
Like, I think the gingerbread man sang
Limin Lovida Loca.
It was so good.
I mean, I might have imagined this, but I'm pretty sure
it's real. You do a lot of drugs,
Finn.
Well, Jonathan Ross is in it any?
Yeah, as the trans person.
I've seen Shrek too.
Is Jonathan Ross is the ugly sister?
Yeah.
But only in England.
Yeah.
They did a regional.
like, oh, it's a TV presented from your country
doing that part.
Respect.
In North Korea, was it just Kim?
Because he runs the whole telly, don't he?
He was everyone.
He was everyone in that film.
He's every character.
Hello.
Hey!
You're like, love?
Harry Murphy.
Yeah.
How do we feel about the Harry Potter series
coming out later in the year?
Genuinely, fucking,
I was a bit like,
why did you do in this?
And I watched the trailer,
and I am so excited.
I'm so happy it's not a film.
Like, I'm,
I want it to...
Like, it's great that they're not...
Like, is it going to be like eight episodes or something?
Each book's got its own, I think,
eight or ten episodes series.
So each series is a book.
Right.
I might watch it for the first time.
Yeah, I've never seen the...
I just think when people moan about stuff like this,
they're like, I'll just leave it.
It was fucking great.
It's like, you could just pretend they haven't made it.
You don't have to...
You just don't have to watch it.
I don't know why they're remaking this.
It will make $8 billion.
And it looks like they're doing it really well.
Like I was genuinely like a protective over it, but it looks fucking boss.
What's the thing with Black Snape, though?
He's just a black character.
No, no, but I've seen that I don't actually know Harry Potter law because I've seen like three of them.
Okay.
So the problem with a Black Snape is...
There's something about a lynching.
Yeah.
So, first of all, when Harry goes to school, he's...
He loves Dumbledore straight away.
He's at your sound.
McGonigle, he's like, you're a bit strict,
but you're quite nice to me.
You got me in the Quidditch team.
And for sort of no reason,
he's constantly just looking at Snape,
like, you're trying to steal things.
You are a rate.
There's just something about you, I don't like.
He doesn't like Snape.
He doesn't know why.
And now it's the only black teacher.
It's like the traitors.
Yeah.
And then...
He looks at them in his head,
and then in like the later...
Hey, what are they doing here?
In...
In the...
later books.
There's like flashbacks.
And there's...
So Harry Potter's dad, James,
used to bully Snape
when they were at school together.
Oh no, he's racist.
Yes.
And he literally hangs him from a tree
whilst bullying him.
Which looks like a lynching
when it's the only...
It's the only black character.
I mean, there's black students.
What they need...
What they probably need to do
is cast
several other characters
with black actors
otherwise it is going to look
horrific
yeah
I wonder if that tree scene's going to be in the new theory
it's quite integral to the plot though in it
especially in the book
yeah also Snape is a cunt to him
like it you know
yeah through love though
yeah but you don't know that for ages
you just think Snape is a
Psycho bully.
Yeah.
He's black now.
The actor's very good though.
Yeah, and a few things.
Papa Esidu.
Also, he's a death eater as well.
So he's a,
he's a former bad guy.
Triple agent.
You're going to enjoy it.
It's fucking sick.
And actually it's on a bad way of consuming it
because you're going to get,
you're going to know more about Harry Potter
than people who haven't watched it
because it's so in death.
My ex-girlfriend was obsessed with Harry Potter.
She loved it.
She loved the books and she hated the films.
and she hated how much...
Snape's role probably changes the most
between the book and the film, apparently.
I've never read the books, obviously.
But at the end of the films,
everyone sort of loves Snape.
If that's your only sort of exposure to the story,
because what you find out about him,
you're like, oh, he was actually great all along.
He's the hero of the whole thing, really, won't he?
But in the books, that's not the case.
Like, he does sort of...
He slightly redeems some of his...
badness
but like his character
is very complex
and evil and stuff
and bitter
and twisted
and violent
and murderous
and have you used the allegory
of
like it's because it's like
like Voldemort's like Hitler
isn't he
trying to keep things
pure blood
and like all his bad men
and like the Fred Reich
it's like Gables
saving one boy
at the end
and going
smashed me
he was a bad man
and then he was an
okay man
everyone's like he's the best
and then Harry goes
yeah
I'm going to name he kid
after you, lad.
Spoilers.
Was his kid, Snape?
Those are the name, Severus.
Alba Severus Potter.
Which is one of the most ham-fisted
scenes in the whole thing.
When he says his full name at the end,
I hate that.
But I'm genuinely excited.
I think it's going to be great.
I think it's going to be filmed really well.
I know they put loads of money into it
and it seems like the actor's a boss as well.
Yeah, but Dumbledore's 80 again
and they're meant to be going for 10 years.
It's at risk.
Who is Dumbled?
John Lithgow.
Oh, yeah.
He needs to be old, though.
He needs to be, like,
wise.
I think Michael Gambon was a bit of a young, like,
Thundercat at the start.
He wasn't him, was it?
Richard Harris was like,
Hey, I'm old and boo.
Richard Harris was 104 years old
when they started filming Philosopher Stone.
And then Michael Gammon was like,
whoa!
Hey, I'm a gamble dog, motherfucker!
He's running round, fucking, like,
doing overheads and step over and that.
And out of nowhere, sounds like he's from Bristol.
Yeah.
Richard Harris is, Dumbledore,
but, like, obviously died.
Again, that was another thing.
People who loved the book,
loved Richard Harris.
and then hated Michael Gammon.
Because he was meant to be an old, wise, slow moving,
all being, all-knowing,
and he turned into like a little,
say, like, whoa, Dumbledone, motherfucker.
I like that.
That guy sounds cool.
Have you seen Hagrid's a busy?
It's like a school rumor.
Hagrid.
Hagrid's a snitch, mom.
Hagrid is, obviously, like,
Nick Frost is the face of Hagrid,
but Hagrid is played by Britain's tallest policeman.
They don't know what to do with that information,
just I couldn't keep it in.
Oh, like the body double?
At the body double.
Because Nick Frost is an 8 foot tall.
But Britain's tallest policeman is he goes and, like, gets crime.
Is he still an active...
Nick Frost said onto this fellow's body?
No, like the scenes when he's walking away or whatever,
will be body doubled by a tall...
Backshut.
Like they did for OG, Hagrid.
He's a big, he's a big...
He's a big policeman?
Is he...
They might have put, like, extra kind of suits on him with that,
but he's...
Extra suits.
Put two more suits on him.
Make him look bigger.
Dapper.
Two more suits.
It's not fat enough.
Put three more suits on him.
I can't wait to watch it with the kids.
But with Haggard,
with Robbie Coltrane,
it was just angles, wasn't it?
It was always angles to make him.
No, did they...
Surely they had a big dude.
No, I'm saying when it was his face,
because he was talking,
it was always shot from down.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
It wasn't straight off.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like we're just discovering cinema for the first.
It's all tricks.
They made the kids look up.
Mad, clever.
But they did tricks with Gandalf,
but then when it was like they're walking away holding hands,
it was the umpalumper from,
Willie Walker.
And instead of making him toy,
they made the other person smaller.
Yeah,
so it was like,
it was still Ian McKellan,
but it was an umpulmpa.
Not a numpalumper.
Like,
that's in his filmography.
I mean,
yeah.
And he'd like going,
yeah.
But then when they were sat on tables,
the table was split
and the umbilumber
was behind the camera or something.
What I would say is everyone,
I guarantee you
none of us are sure
about anything we've just said.
No, Hagrid is 100% of busy.
Hagrid is.
Hager's a busy man.
Careful.
He's a big fella.
Yeah, he's a big dude.
He looks like the guy who plays a...
Surely if he's playing fucking Haggaret
and he can't be...
He's now a part-time policeman at best?
Whoa, I don't know.
I don't know his sexuality.
Haggaret's a busy
and a part-time policeman.
That's how he got the fucking part
You know what I mean
Part time, police been part time
Hagrin
Who played Hold on in Game of Thrones
It looks a bit like him
You never watch Game of Thrones did you
No, it was shite
It wasn't shite
It was incredible
And then it was shite
It was just for Goths
And you all got hudwinked into thinking
It was for normal people by marketing
It was for gimps
Oh, there's dragons and shit
One of the most popular TV shows
In television history
Yeah?
Yeah, but it's been forgotten, isn't it?
Literally because of the last three, four episodes, it was forgotten.
Oh, no.
Last three, no, last episode.
The one before that, the Battle of Winterfell was fucking class.
The way the day is, whatever, no spoggers, that was poo.
Also, the Battle of Winterfell is in pitch black.
I watched it and my blinds were half open.
Shut up, Harry, shut up.
That's an unbelievable episode.
Just because you're watching it in fucking the middle of summer with the window open going,
I can't even see this battle.
I was just watching me on the screen.
It was just some reflection of me.
Yeah, because, ah, right.
I can't know.
It was like, who's dead?
It's a night walk you dead.
I can't see you.
Can you see me face?
Shut up.
Spoilers.
I might watch it.
If your sandals or anything to go by, you should watch it.
It's for you.
It's good, but then at the end, it was just a big wet fart.
It was a big wet fart of the last episode, yeah.
And they knew it as well.
It was like they were filming it going,
this is shit.
Yeah, you've seen that I've not watched Game of Thrones,
but I've seen like the table read of the last episode,
but they're all like going, oh no.
Lawrence Pierce?
She's never, in it?
No.
So much she ate it.
Amelia Clark, sorry.
She's like, she's what really going.
Because you know, it's an absolutely bag of shit.
I mean, it was a good journey on the way.
Yeah, wonderful.
There's a Starbucks cup in it, in there.
Yeah.
And there's a cheering.
There's a bendy sword as well.
But the destination matters, done it.
There's no point flying first class to a war zone.
The Charing's a game of throats.
I get the analogy.
Isn't he of the House of the Dragon?
No, he's in Game of Thrones?
He plays a little song for, Ria.
Oh, does he?
Yeah.
Do you know what iPhone face is?
Do you ever hear the term iPhone face?
You ever heard of?
So, like, it's a big one in the Michael Jackson film
because everybody in the crowd's meant to be from the 70s and 80s
and you look at them and they all look like they own an iPhone.
It's called iPhone face because you're like, they don't look.
Oh, like the people from the past.
They look modern.
They look like they, yeah, obviously they're playing a role.
They're dressed up, but they've, they go back and they've got smartphone.
Like, it's a, when you notice it, it's a weird thing.
an impossible thing to kind of...
They just don't look like they're from that era.
Yeah.
No matter what you do,
it's the term in films called iPhone face.
Having the Michael film is really bad for it.
I'm still pissed off about Wuthering Heights.
I don't get...
I don't get your beef.
I know, I know it's meant to be a stylized set,
but it's just absolutely ridiculous.
It's going to be, what, a late 18th century,
Yorkshire fucking house,
and they've got a red,
laminate floor.
Fuck off.
It's just dead irritating.
What?
What have I missed?
He'd been going on for days about this, by the way.
Oh, it's just so irritating.
And I know you're going to go,
oh, yeah, it looked like Lady Gaga
had done the set design.
It was fucking mental.
Are that ruined of immersion for you?
A little bit.
Probably should have let you go.
So I get you for not being able to connect
with an actual drawing,
but you're like, oh, red floor,
fuck it.
Yeah, because it's a period drama.
Maybe it was symbolism.
Period.
Oh.
Yeah.
Excuse me, Lady Gaga.
bled all over the floor.
Okay, thanks for underlining it.
We got it.
Margot Rob,
you're going to stop
look at the floor.
It's the greatest thing ever.
And everyone's like,
oh God,
it was so,
it was so sexual.
Oh,
Mario Robbie,
that floor is shite.
It was so sexual.
Margo Robbie has a wank,
and then he catches her
having a wank,
and she's like,
Oh,
I can't believe he called me wanking.
And he's like,
come here,
give me a hand,
and then sniffs her fingers
and then licks her fingers
and all the women like,
oh,
God.
I can't believe
he sniffed her fingers.
and you went into that?
Yeah, it was all right.
That was in...
You look at the floor and the lamps.
This isn't historically correct.
He fingered some eggs at one point.
That doesn't sound like...
He just fingers some yolks.
It looks quite sick, right?
Have you seen, um, coming by your name, Dan?
No.
When he fucks a peach.
Well?
Spoilers.
Tim, Timmy Shamilley fucks a peach in the bath.
And then, uh, army hammy,
it's the peach full of cum.
It's better than people,
he also drinks the bath water.
Is this basically the legacy of Saltburn?
It's like, it's dead sexy if you fuck the ground.
This is before Saltburn?
No.
Call it all your names.
E jizzed and a peach.
Yeah.
What's it called?
James and the jizzy peach.
Yeah, yeah.
James and the jizzy peach.
Did he remove the stone?
I don't know.
Yeah, because he might have got it pregnant.
He drinks as bathwater.
It's gay, like, it's a gay film.
It's good film.
You know, have you bury a stone from a peach in your garden?
Will a peach tree grow?
Yeah.
said the six-year-old.
Mom, if I saw as well as an apple tree,
is there an apple tree in my belly no?
That's how I asked my mum questions.
Mother, I got some questions about my belly.
Go on?
Yes.
I'm going to bury a peach stone.
Why is anyone buying more than one peach then in their lifetime?
We'll buy one peach and fucking bury it?
And then you've got unlimited peaches, haven't you?
Yeah, why is anyone buying food?
Let's start a farm.
How long is to take a peach
You should plant it in
Between November and April
And then it
And it starts fruiting in the summer
And when can you fuck it
What you mean?
It starts fruiting the next summer
Yeah
For the tree
Yeah
Go, they're quicker these days aren't he
How long is it take
For the peach tree to grow?
Why are they quicker these days?
Global warming
Global warming
Western medicine
Western medicine
Sorry, three to four years
Three to four years
That's slower these days
love these peaches. I'll have another one in four years.
His bad is pretty much about right doing it.
Yeah, there is all right.
This is great. Same with Kiwis.
But then I don't eat them again.
It's like go-karting, anyway.
We could start a farm really, couldn't we?
Become more self-sustaining?
Clarkson did it?
By a little plot of land.
How much of chickens?
What?
Finn, come on.
Ellie's just hatched some.
So at the nursery once a year,
they hatch all these.
eggs, but one of them came out all bow-legged and
like fucking mangled.
Like, you're up footballer.
It's like anything, it depends on
the quality of the chicken. So it's between
5 and 50 quid. I like silky
chickens, maybe they don't lay eggs.
So they'd be useless. Siltky chickens. Like,
Ronaldine? What do you mean?
There's just the most pretty chickens
ever. So pretty.
Sounds like, calls a chicken nons.
I just lost me, thesaurus.
A beautiful silken
chicken. Google Silky
My mother, why don't the silky chickens lay out?
We, I've met one before and it was sick.
Oh, it's got like an afro.
Oh, is it Japanese?
Wow.
I've seen one in Japan, but it's not a Japanese.
Is it like that one that's...
Is that Snoop Dog's chicken?
Bell's an auntie.
Snoop chicken.
I love silky chicken, mom.
Pretty.
Okay.
And it's time for a break.
And welcome back.

There's some absolute class specials.
They've got the lockings.
We've been around the world.
We've been around the world.
You need to say either absolute classics
or absolutely class.
You can't say absolute class specials.
Doesn't really work syntax-wise.
All right.
Absolute is an intensify that doesn't work with the work class.
Also, we are doing another special
live at content on the 31st of May.
Come see us do stars in their eyes.
Tickets still available.
I am on a stand-up tour
from August through to February next year.
Dan Nightingale and Friends
has about 30 dates around the country.
Adam has extended his tour.
Adam row.orgode at UK.
I'm not doing that many dates
because I don't want to.
Tickets are flying.
Really excited.
Come and see us if you want.

They've got great popcorn.
It's a film.
It is a film.
It is a film.
I have a podcast for 10 pounds.
Wow.
Do you not surprise me, Dan.
I told my mates at the pub at the day that we were doing stars in their eyes and none of them knew what it was.
To be fair, I didn't know really what it was.
That's crazy.
I remember it vividly as a kid watching it.
It was massive.
Yeah, but you're all a little music in, partner.
Yeah, that's true.
I also feel like the legacy has lived on through...
I feel like it's in pop culture.
The East European stars in their eyes that have given us some phenomenal viral moments
when no one culturally went, hey, probably don't do him.
You're not blind.
Yeah, that was the one.
Shall we do some?
It's a low-level conspiracy.
Watch you back.
With Carl Reuters.
Oh, mate.
Watch you back.
This is a banger.
I'm a summer.
We don't do one, two, three,
the Somatunes.
Our summer tunes last for 30 years.
Anyway, low-level conspiracies with Carl Regler.
Hi, guys.
LLC from Jamie Wool's
from Hereford
TV broadcasters
lower the resolution when a new
high spec resolution comes to the market
ever watch sports on SD recently
probably not due to an issue
with my provider recently I had no option
there's no way I used to watch
footy where you couldn't read the player's names
or even see the ball
honest to God I've noticed this
it is weird
there's no way
it used to be that bad
I know obviously you know you can't
Like, it was good then.
But the difference is insane.
You can't read the...
You can't see anything.
What are we up to now in terms of, like, what is the best...
8K, I think, is what you can buy on the market.
Yeah, but not in streams and 8K, so it's 4K still.
But it will.
Is that what we're saying?
It just doesn't need to get better than 4K.
It's already better than my eyes.
Do I mean?
Like, 4K on the telly is clearer than in person.
My 9th, you said me,
I think Jember and Sky had a HD channel on a non-HG channel?
remember that?
It was like BBC 1, then BBC 1HD
and she'd go, I can't tell the difference
and I'd be like, you're a fucking idiot.
You're so wrong.
You're legally blind, I think.
But the difference is insane,
but going back and watching the standard definition now,
there's no way we watch it like that.
And I agree with it.
Yeah, 16K is going to be way too much
when we eventually get there in 10, 15, 20 years
where you can see someone picking the nose at the cricket.
I saw...
Oh my God, did you see the video of...
the pit walk at Miami
the Grand Prix this week
they're walking it's like Jensen Button
and someone else and they're like they're chatting away
and talking boring bollocks about the effort
was a fucking great race and there is a just by chance
an objective
11 out of 10 walking
and the cameraman sort of
takes a step back so he's still got them
so he's sort of doing his job and then
just makes the camera pan over to her and she
is unbelievably
attractive and even she goes dude I'm not
meant to be on the telly here.
And she walks past and then he goes,
oh, fuck, she was amazing.
And because they're walking backwards
doing the pit walk,
someone got in so much trouble.
There is a McLaren mechanic
and it just comes into,
and he's literally going to his mate,
look, fucking hell shit.
And it's gone viral
and he is in so much shit.
IMAX is 18K.
So when you go and see IMAX
that's already 18K.
I saw 8K at the gadget show
when I was like 14.
they have 4K and 8K
this is when
I hate to the gadget show as well
great isn't it
yeah it was good
cool guys
this is when HD was only
you had to pay more
the sky it was like wow
HD unbelievable
and so 8K and the other
they had it on the front of an aquarium
like a fish tank
and like the same shape
and because our eyes
when you used to like
nobody could believe it wasn't real
that's how good it was back then
and that's what
in 10 years time
we're going to be watching
cash in the attic
with that level of resolution.
There is some things that you're like,
it doesn't need to improve in for that.
Yeah, I can't, I mean films, aside from films.
I love that Laura's changed her stance on my big teller.
Oh, she allowed a big telly?
No, no, she, I bought a 63 inch.
She was like, it's ridiculous, just looks stupid.
And then maybe a few months ago we were watching a film,
she was like, this is great for watching films.
Yes, it is.
Shut up.
Such a common, like, thing with women, that.
Oh, no.
A little microwave.
Yeah.
I just want a little teller.
Make it phone size.
Put it in corner.
We had to take our telly off the wall.
Shut up.
The other day, because Ellie had put it, like, essentially touching the ceiling.
And then realized that we were just, like, cranking our necks every time watching the telly.
How big is the telly?
I, like, 50.
It's the one that you bought me.
Oh.
So whatever that is, but we, she was, I'll put it on the, on the wall.
And she got a ladder and put it up dead eye.
And I was like, that's, that's.
too high though, in it?
No, because it needs to look like a bar.
What did she put it on?
On the wall?
She mounted it?
It needs to look like a bar.
She wants it like the telly in the corner of a pub.
Not like a bar, but it was like,
when you see a telly mounts on the wall,
they're always dead eye.
And then in the middle of,
I woke up in the morning and she was early in the morning
taking the telly off the wall.
Did she put the bracket on the wall?
Yeah.
And you didn't?
She just did it off her own.
She used a handy manning their relationship, don't she?
I wouldn't trust myself to put a bracket on the wall?
No way.
Neither would he?
He'd get a man in?
I have got a man into my breath, so on me,
it's better than me, edit.
It's level and it looks good.
She's a handsy woman, Ellie, like.
What if you've got a manly wife?
I haven't.
She's like, get the man.
She's in the bath.
TV's lower down is well better.
Does Ellie enjoy doing all manual labour?
I think it's more the fact that she wouldn't be able to live with herself
if I'd burn the house down.
No, I'm not suggesting that you should be option one.
I'm saying, does she not ever think I'll get a family house down?
saying does she not ever think I'll get a feller in to do this?
Oh, no.
It's all instinct and to do it yourself.
Yeah, the only time I've ever got a fella in is there's a hole in the roof.
She's not a roofer.
She's not a roofer.
Yeah, but aren't you just going to, the man that you get in
is going to be like Bernard that you grew up with him?
No, it was Clive.
Clinton.
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe she's like, do you know what?
I can't be asked with Harry's dad's mates turning up from Parbold.
So I'll just learn to do it myself.
I hate the Clive fan of his podcast.
Location was so unnecessary there.
First of all, he's from Burskow.
And second of all, he's too busy at the moment
because he's making loads of boats.
So he can't come around to fix our plugs,
so at least fix the plugs.
Is he got all over stopping them?
No, no, he's a piece of love, Clive, he's sick.
What kind of boats is Clive making?
He just makes boats.
I don't know.
He makes speed boats and that.
He makes speed boats.
You want a speed boat?
I'll get your dad's mate to do it.
Honestly, he is one of them.
Honestly, I think.
Who is that?
Clyde.
You want a speed boats?
I'll get your dad's mate to do it.
So was that meant to be his dad saying?
I'm not enjoying the syntax debrief that we've got today.
Do you not enjoying it?
To random another sheet.
Shove your fucking syntax.
Also don't think they make 63 inch tellies,
but I let you slide on that.
Cracks of your,
you are.
Be 65.
Yeah.
Much other come in denominations of 63.
Finn did say that though, not me.
Genuine though,
Clive is so,
Clive is so talented that I reckon if he was from like old and times,
he'd be like a wizard.
He is from olden times?
No, if he was like from the 1500s,
if he was that talented,
I think he'd be like the king or something.
What do you mean?
He's talented?
He can do everything.
Was king based on like Britain's got talent?
I don't know.
Like, they go like,
look at that wizard.
Do you know what I mean?
Can he do everything?
Can he just,
is just an old drill?
I mean,
I think it swings around.
Again, it's syntax in it.
You're picking me apart here.
Swings aroundabouts and power bolts,
speed bolts.
He can fit plugs.
He had a dehumid
that we borrowed.
He used wallpaper to fill a hole in that wall.
Did you just list as one of his talents owning a dehumidifier?
I mean, it was...
I haven't got one.
It's an industrial one as well.
He can make boats.
He does hot air ballooning.
He played football with Pellet.
I said that one.
What do you mean?
He does hot air ballooning.
He did hot air ballooning.
That was when he got introduced to the...
He's being in a hot air balloon.
No, he used to race hot air balloons.
I remember you telling us that.
We talked about that.
He used to erase hot air balloons.
I must have missed that episode, man.
Isn't that all just weather dependence?
So I don't go on the same speed.
Well, I don't because he used to win, apparently.
So he's been to Mozambi.
How many people do you know who'd be into Mosambi?
Laura.
James Patrick says,
lip bombs and Vaseline.
Yes.
Oh, they agree.
Put you into a never-ending cycle of thinking your lips are dry,
so you apply more lip-bomb or Vaseline till you die.
I said this first week.
I said, Kebri.
He's Nick yours.
Yeah, he's Nick. Mine.
Listen.
What was his name?
James Patrick.
James Patrick.
Listen to the podcast.
I've already said it.
You said, Kebri.
I said Kebby.
Well done.
J.W.
says,
Hello, Lids.
When ordering coffee,
I think Starbucks
intentionally get your name wrong
so you complain about it on socials,
therefore giving them free advertising.
Fact.
Has I ever done that?
Yeah,
I reckon that's true.
They've got better at spelling now.
I've actually done that before.
That's done me head in.
In New York,
because of my accent,
I was Cole.
Because I went Carl,
and they've heard, like,
Carl.
So I was Cole.
And Seneca was Sarah He.
but that it
everyone does that
but I put it on like
hey you knob it but maybe
I get Phil a lot
I call you fill a lot
I get Phil at Starbucks
filled a lot and I fill
If you get in Adam or Dan wrong
Something's
Eat them
Like the cheese
Yeah
Dan's just a noise in it
I mean it's all just noises
I mean it's all just noises
No but like that like Carl's just a noise
as well it's just one noise
Bartholomew is not a noise
It's very true
It's noises really isn't it
It's a way of life
Like someone outside
I go do
And it sounds like the Shelton done
Yeah
Put that on a coffee
Did someone just show Bartholomew
They definitely did
Believe
Yeah you've won't be over
Mike Green says
Hi Lids
Low level conspiracy here
I'm convinced that your phone
holds back some notifications
until you put it down
To force you to pick it back up again
and carry on doom scroll
I imagine that's the thing.
It does, but it doesn't make like messages
and emails and stuff. Because they're like
timestamped when they got sent and when they come through.
I know because they're trying to get you to do
they try to get you to do pickups
get on your back on your phone.
So they do push them. Yeah, as soon as you close it,
it goes, oh, Pinterest. Got some
new sandals for you and have a lot of these.
Yeah, it's always happening to me. That's only you.
I'm sick of it. I had to turn off my pop-ups
for Pinterest. I've just got one then
three minutes ago. A fitness one.
Your free fitness three months is
expiring today.
Shit.
I imagine because I put my phone down
for an X amount of time,
they've gone,
find it out now.
Yeah,
I've just got one from
Simply safe,
backyard, camera detected motions,
telling me someone's in the back garden.
Lies.
I just think it's a pick you phone at one.
I think it's,
they do find them out of specific times.
Like,
right,
now is a time when...
Have you got any pop-ups from apps?
I don't let any apps.
I mean,
the fitness one's popped up
because I've never used it,
so I need to turn that off.
Let's see what happens
if I clear that notification.
the duolingo owl messages me at 11 o'clock every night
you up you up yeah it's like yeah it says you up and it'll be like
it'll have a countdown and it's like we don't want to lose you
and then you i've got to do me thing me me street he's still doing swahili
no i dropped swahili i don't think i'll ever use it again
because they all spoke fucking english anyway didn't they everyone does though you later
yeah there was a tiny bit
because i didn't get to use it enough i got to say i tried to make dan say i'm
Chinese and he didn't.
So it was just like, that was all me
Swahili wasted. And how long have you wasted on German?
1,200 days, I think.
You're fluent now.
I just do the same.
They have like little book exercise, like stories.
So there's one about this girl who's like dead messy.
I just do that every day.
So because I know the answers already.
That's how you learn, man.
So the only German you can speak.
What's the fucking point to that?
Because it gets to half 11 at night and I'm like, I can't.
Otherwise I'll get all of them.
I'm onto quite hard ones now
and they're too difficult
and if I do it too long
then I lose a streak freeze
The streaks are relevant
if you're not getting
any better at German
No he's that age
Have you got a Snapchat streak with anyone?
No but I've passed
but my brother's trying to instigate me
People cared about that
People in generation below
Like oh we've been streaking
for 12 years
Can't lose that
That's true
Like girls will lose their mat
Like they have to keep the streak
Goide 1,000 day streak
On Snapchat when I was younger
That was my way of trying to flirt, I think.
I think she thought I was gay,
because I was scared about the streak.
So the only German you know is
to tell an eight-year-old girl to tidy a bedroom?
To be fair, I don't really know it.
Can I have, like, use a tie,
clean your wardrobe up, two beers?
She's schmutzig.
That feels problematic.
That's her name.
No, it means she's dainty.
Oh, yeah, damn.
The eight-year-old child.
No, she's not a child.
She's like...
You did say Charles Badger.
The story is about...
The story is this woman...
You're fucking little schmudson.
This woman called B
goes around to this girl's house
and she's like, what's wrong?
She's like, ah, I hate my roommate.
And then she goes, oh no.
It's like, look, like,
my roommate's left dirty clothes.
And there's an old Donna Cabab out.
And that's Alta Durner.
It's an old Donna Cabab out.
And then it turns out that the girl
that she's the one who's left
to Donna Cabab out.
That's the story.
But I'm just not off my heart now.
There's a narrative arc
within your duolingo?
Yeah, because they do the little
stories. Each character
that teaches your duolingo
has personalities.
There's the one
with the turban who's like,
he's happy, to be fair.
Is he German?
They all speak all the languages.
To be fair to him,
he's a nice one.
There's a goth one who
she'll message me at night
and go like,
you're going to lose your streak,
but I don't care if you do.
And he's like, well, fuck you.
I'm going to do your German streak.
Harry's being catfish
by duolingo.
They're starting like AI ones
They're gonna
These these characters are gonna have like
Sentience
You can already
You can already speak to them
You gotta pay like the premium bit
And you can ask them out of the day
Harry, you're going to lose your streak
I've been a dirty girl
A little schwanzig
I was in a Tesla
They're they four of the first times
And there's a mode on it
Where you can make her
Sexy
The voice that talks back to you
And you can
Man left big boy
Well
Adam
is your sexy Tesla.
Come on.
But no, but literally, like,
because of Dylan Musk,
and he's a fucking child.
Suck it off if you take the third exit
on the next roundabout.
Yeah.
The person who was driving, I won't name him.
He went, count down from 10,
but come after every number,
and she literally comes after every number
she's counting. Like, she'll do and say
anything.
There's like...
The car squared. Like the windscreen thing?
Found this out.
It's not just a thing on Tesla.
You can have a little.
like a sad person, depressed,
a happy, you can have,
you can have a turn left here if you want.
Any, you can have any sound as it locks.
Ambivalence.
As you walk away.
In the UK, you can't.
Oh, in America you can.
You can press any,
you can, yeah, yeah, in the UK,
you used to be able to be able to be on more.
It's also got a megaphone,
isn't it?
So, like, you're like, when the police,
go, like, get out the way.
You can use that.
You can go, no.
Yeah.
I can't have a Tesla man.
Abuse him not.
I've been calling people
Gobsh, she's like, oh mate.
But yeah, maybe all are Tesla.
She come after every number, yeah.
And I mean, not like, oh, like a full orgasm and goes six,
and then it's insane.
They'll say anything.
They'll say the worst possible words you can think of.
You can say, right, direct me to this place.
Be horrendously racist the entire way.
And they will do it.
And there's no software that's been applied to this to stop that happening.
Like, turn left here,
and they always say whatever.
ever like.
Which a Grock car, isn't it?
Grock was like denying the Holocaust at one point, wasn't he?
It's Grock on Twitter, which is the most, like, free GPA,
AI, it'll say anything because it's like, Dylan Musk.
He's a child, isn't he?
Right.
And that's doing your Saturn Ave in your Tesla.
Yeah.
Right.
That feels like a dangerous combo for you, Carl.
No, I haven't got a Tesla.
No, I know, but I feel like.
That's why I won't get one.
Because I like what we've got.
Last one.
Karim says, here's my low-level conspiracy theory.
I believe David Attenborough actually passed away
during the COVID-19 pandemic,
but the government believed his loss
would have too significant an impact on national morale,
and they have used the vast archive of his past recordings
to virtually keep him alive
and continue producing content.
Do our listeners know what the words low-level means?
It's quite high, this.
It's quite high level, isn't it?
The death of a national treasure covered up by the government
A little low-level conspiracy there.
Has anyone ever met David Attenborough?
Are you questions?
Have you ever seen anyone have a selfie with him?
What is a David Ashr?
Seeing a couple of penguins, do it?
That's kind of arguing with you.
Has anyone ever met?
Oh yeah, I suppose someone's met him.
Yeah, I just got a picture of someone with a selfie with him.
I want the government to do this.
I want to die before David Attenborough.
That would be great.
I just never want to deal with the sadness of the day.
he's 100 on
on Friday
he's 100 on Friday
that's sick
does he get a text off
the king now
yeah
it's email
goes into his junk
well they'll lot
surely they've updated that
because it was a telegram
off the queen won't it
surely after she's died
they're like right
we'll just do a WhatsApp
voice notes or something
it's a cameo
Charles going yes lad
under the belt
anyway
to that kid
like they've got to update
that at some point
I think it's having the
holding the lesse of
it's like wow look at
this.
Did they send it on your birthday?
Or does it arrive on your birthday?
Does that be quite sad if you died
the day before?
Myel, mate.
What?
The buddy royal mail.
That's the thing, in it?
Or would it be in royal mail?
They probably get priority.
That is true.
That's good.
But I mean, like,
if you were David Attenborough
and, like, obviously he's got
probably kids or whatever,
or at least Adam was.
What's he got?
He's one of his brother,
I'm like Richard.
He's dead.
He was in Jurassic Park.
He died.
He died years ago.
And we told you about it weeks ago.
Rest and peace, Rich.
But like, I imagine if,
because you're meant to get the letter for your birthday.
Yeah.
So if it arrives on your birthday,
but you die the day before your birthday.
Are you having an answer?
Exactly.
You have to send it back.
Yeah, but I mean, it'd be quite sad,
wouldn't it?
Charles doesn't even know yet.
Like, your daughter's open and happy and, like,
oh, he didn't even make it.
Charles writes more.
stamp because he's not replied yet
he doesn't even sign it he just puts
a big sausage finger
like a potato print just look at a letter
I wonder how many letters he sends
a year I imagine it's not handwritten
I imagine he can't even hold a pen at this point
oh it's hand signed yeah
I wonder how many people in the UK hit 100
don't you type it either only more and more
yes
still get messages for 100
and then a hundred and fifth
and then every year after that
respect how many people here to
100 in the UK
I think if you get to like
112
you'd be like
oh shut up
I'm gonna mean
stop spamming me
no letter
I don't even know
you laugh
you fucking sending me
birthday cards every year
I don't even get
one off my mates
anymore
how many people are
older than
105 in the
in the
150 is the oldest
is the oldest
in the world
isn't it
16,600
centarians in the UK
that's so much
more than I imagine
it's like a full
you could do a full
like
league one game
like crowd.
He's sending 16,000 of them a year.
No, this is over 100.
I don't know about 105.
Wow.
All he must do is sign letters like us, sign them posters.
16,000 divide the 5.
Several hundred people age 105 or older.
They all smoke bifters as well, don't they?
If you had to send all 16,000, that'd be 44 a day.
You're fucking under be cramping signing all them.
His fingers are like that.
That we've sorted out.
Let me stop sign.
Give me a stamp, please.
No, Charles.
We're going to do a have a word.
I haven't picked me favourite.
What's your favourite, Carl?
So there's the lip-arm one.
There's the tele one.
There's the...
What was it, the third one?
Sorry, Dan.
Starbucks, intentionally getting your name wrong.
I'm going to go with the telly one,
the SD one.
Watch a new, Sky.
I think you're not far off.
Me, tell us all the first of the 9.10.
Oh, middle 10%.
I'm knackered today.
Same.
I stayed in town last night because it was cheaper than driving home.
And for some reason, there was building going on at 6 a.m.
It started.
Started at 6, finished at 8.
I went to reception.
I've never done that before.
Except in the legal show.
Oh, in the hotel?
In the building next door.
recorded some of it because I sent it to Harry.
It's eight they're meant to start.
I was eight, yeah. It's the second video that
that is awful. Which one was that?
I had a bad sleep because I had the hay fever injection
in my ass. Sounds like you're using a vibrator.
Six a.m.
I was just on like a late last thing.
I felt like I heard the noise outside my house.
And I thought like I went and checked
that no one was going near my car or whatever.
And that's like sort of jolted me up.
And then as I was going,
back off, I thought I had the dog got, oh, woof, but it, it was just me fan, like, rumbling
on the door. Then those two things happen within, like, half an hour of each other. I was just,
like, sort of, like... On edge. Yeah, and I just couldn't, I never settled for more than, like,
an hour at a time. You got your fan on? I have as well, I've had on for more two weeks.
It's warm at night now. What? We are in fan-eater right now.
Warm at night? Yeah. Yeah. Wow, we've got a microclimate going on in Sogill, then,
because does not feel warm.
I'm back down to the 4.5, Tog.
Yeah, I'd say about 10 days.
I've had my final.
I've only got it on level 2 of 10.
Oh, I have it on 3.
Are there a further distance?
Got 10 levels on your fan?
It's a Dyson air,
Zs like to make...
A Dyson what?
Dyson air, zooz.
Not heard of them.
Have a word.
Can you lads please have a word
with all low-level jobsworths,
people who take their work way too seriously,
Lord, their tiny bit of unimportant power over the public,
enforce pathetic rules like they're the owner of the company
and generally act like a Colin.
Particularly this one guy who started at the tip a few months back,
all the other lads there are sound.
They'll help out occasionally,
but generally always let you get rid of your stuff quickly.
Not this new tool.
He guards the general waste and checks what you're putting in.
Like, fuck off Colin.
It's just bags of crap.
Let me just bin it.
It's not toxic waste or a dead body.
It's an unsorted bag of crap my wife gave me.
Let me just landfill the shit and get on my way.
Vent over.
That's from Chris in Leicester.
I'm with the fella.
It's hard to know what, genuinely,
I tried to do stand-up about something,
like, slightly adjacent to this.
Have you ever heard,
have you ever sort of listened to someone
complain about their job
like it is like a matter of global security
and realise how fucking upset?
Like, everyone feels like
their job, like their industry matters
and nothing matters.
We don't, this is, like, the way we talk sometimes
about, like, needing to get a Patreon special plan
and we, if someone listened to us talk about it,
like we sound like we think we're like saving the planet.
And when you were like, I was walking through,
is it Regent Street in London?
It goes from like Piccadilly Circus up towards like Oxford Circus.
That sounds right.
There was a fellow on the road going,
no, it has to be done by Friday.
It has to be done.
because those spreadsheets are getting done by Monday.
And if they're delayed,
I just don't know what'll happen.
I don't know what'll happen.
And I was just like, do you know what'll happen?
You'll do with Tuesday?
Like, it will not matter to any...
Everyone has this massive sense of their own importance
and we're all just fucking...
Yeah, but if got...
Because most people's jobs are pretty mundane, repetitive.
Like, if you don't feel like it's important,
can you even get there?
Yeah.
Can you even manage it out of day?
I just think we're all perfect.
This happened in Paris Airport
with me and Senegal coming home.
Do you know, do you know, when you have the things,
but it's that to get to like a desk.
It's like cordoned off.
You're going to walk up and down and up and down.
The entrance of it was like 100 yards that way.
Or it was the start here,
and I could just unclip the thing.
There's nobody there.
No one in the queue.
So they've done the move around,
like there's a queue of 200 people.
Start all the way down there or just unclipper.
Get in, clip it back.
And then I've saved myself.
all that walk
there's someone shouting
me,
now get back out
and I was like
well now
I'm already in the queue now
she's like
get back out now
I've come that
I had to come out
come out
come out
and then walk back
to where I was
and walk around
and I'm like
I wouldn't have done that
I'd be like
fuck off
your French cunt
and a polion
but I went
like why
like for what reason
she went
because I said
and I was
I think
but Seneca
went
Carl don't cause an issue
in an airport
because...
Because they can stop you flying.
It's the one place
where the stakes are higher.
But that's why they can wield it.
Because they're like,
it's airport security.
You could have a bomb.
You're like, no, you've set this fucking...
Do you know what I'm my favourite?
Probably in an airport,
I probably would have just been like,
all right, whatever.
Because you're not going to have been playing,
you've got to do it.
But you know, when you're in, like, somewhere
and sometimes there's someone
who's, like, in a position of authority,
they're normally like a supervisor.
They're never like a general manager.
They never make it.
that far.
There's someone who's just got like a hint of power.
They just have a slight bit of like sort of influence and seniority over like a handful
of people.
And they used to being able to talk to people like they're in charge.
And then they do it to you, but you're like a customer or just passing by.
And they're like, hey, can you do this?
That's one of my favorite things in the world because I'm just like, I don't fucking
work for you, your little dwarf cunt.
Oh, wow.
Where are you for you?
Is Disneyland?
I saw two parking.
When someone tries to speak to you like you work for them
and you just don't and you just don't,
you just get to go now?
Yeah.
Like, you have to go this way.
No, I don't.
Well, I went, I was like, but tell me why.
Because there's no reason.
Hey, nothing, but, sorry.
And she went, cause, because I said.
And I was like, I wanted to go,
fuck off.
But Seneca went, do not start in an airport
because they'll go, get security,
you miss your flight.
And she can just sit there doing that to the window.
I saw two parking attendants having a chat
when I was on the way to the train
and they finished the conversation and left
and as the fellow was walking away
the other one went,
keep fighting the good fight, Brian.
To you?
This is what we do.
We do this every day.
To the other parking attendant
that was walking away.
That was like...
Legs sweep on one of them at least.
We get a lot of stick,
but we're keeping this city open.
Fucking out.
Break time.
It's a break time.
It's an important break time.
but it's a break time.
Long overdue.
Long overdue.
Mike Bubbins is.
Bovino.
Thank you boys and you are old boys.
That's lovely.
I know.
Dan's excited to have you in
because he gets to do as well,
Shaq's End.
Oh, that's have a listen.
Yeah.
Go on.
I'm leaving.
That's not bad.
Thank you very much.
I was saying is that...
I can't do anything else
apart from South Whelian.
It gets where this was he in, mind,
I'm not saying I do it well
But I can't do
Fucking North Wales
Is there a beef between North Wales?
Yes
He's from real
Yeah we don't really talk
Like North Wales is like a
You've seen like a DNA map of the world right
Everywhere mingles
But there's honestly
It's like a there's like an area of North Wales
About 60 miles in diameter
Where they haven't mingle with anybody ever
Hey you're the exception
You're my house getting wall up by Turks
weren't she?
Was she?
Turk.
Singular.
Singular.
Just the one turk.
Just the one.
Wallet by Turks is a good band as well.
He's definitely just one.
As far as I know.
Yeah, yeah.
Is that?
What part of the world is you from?
Shill.
Shrill.
Can you say it like he says it?
Trill.
He did it.
Trill.
Chrel.
I can do it as well.
Shrel.
No, you're saying shrill.
No, I'm not.
So is he?
No, he's not.
It's our hate.
It's a letter in Welsh.
That's good.
Trill.
That one bad.
Thank you.
That one bad.
Isn't there like a 20 mile all around South Wales that you're not Welsh speakers?
It's like the northern hillbilly type.
It's weird.
You go up to, if you're in North Wales then Welsh is quite often like the sort of working class language.
And then in South Wales it's the opposite.
It's like the more middle class people tend to speak it in.
Oh right.
Because it's almost like a, yeah, okay.
You know, like I didn't want to send my kids
to the local English speaking school.
Because I, you know, ideas about my station.
So I set my kids to like a Welsh language school.
They both speak Welsh.
Didn't you learn later in life?
I learned a bit, yeah.
I did a thing called Yai Thaddeith on S4C,
which is like...
Yaitthard Deith.
Just means like a journey to the language.
S. Pedorech, the Welsh channel.
Yeah, yeah, with Alice James.
And he was my mentor for a week.
And basically, the premise of the show
is that you learn Welsh in a week.
And after a week, I couldn't speak Welsh.
It just can't be done.
And then I put in another pitch to S4C
for a thing called Ian Men Million,
one on a million,
which is basically,
listen,
a week's too short.
I need a whole year.
So they filmed me for a year,
learning Welsh.
And I proved that you couldn't
Ler Welsh in a year either.
I did it,
guys.
I've been paid twice.
So, you know.
I've got this new idea.
It's Ler Welsh in 15 years.
That's the next plan,
man.
That is the one,
the retirement one,
yeah.
Like last of summer wine.
Yeah.
Yeah, it just keeps going forever and ever.
I can't wait.
If Mammoth takes off and we get, like,
I said, Luke, my mate, produces it.
I said, we get like the 24th series.
I'm not going to do with Jervais,
do two series and bail on it for artistic reasons.
I'm 53 years of age.
You know, I want to do like Series 20 on Mammoth.
Mammoth moves to the Yorkshire Dales.
No one knows why.
It's on a Sunday tea time.
Yeah, fine.
Kids will be like, you knew it was like time for homework
when Mammoth was on.
He's coming down the hill in a fucking bathtub.
No one knows why, no one cares why.
One of the most mental surprises of my professional life
was flicking on the TV
and then on the homepage on Sky
was my mate Mike Bubbins in a sitcom
that I had no idea was happening.
That is, I just,
maybe a failing on my part
that I haven't been following you online.
Well, no, yeah,
that speaks to our friendship
and the marketing of the BBC Network.
It's such a nice surprise
that one of the good guys
that I know has got a sitcom made.
And I don't often watch a lot of other
comics. I don't know. It's just, I'm not
a sitcom guy really, but fuck
it's great. It's fucking brilliant.
It's so good.
And to mess with time travel in a
BBC sitcom. This is the thing.
What? Mammoth. It's the premise.
It's like Dr. New? No, no, no. It's good.
Oh, dear.
You got to hear what would he lead? So he's
on a skiing trip, 979. Tony Mammoth,
a peer teacher gets
engulf by an avalanche. Everyone thinks he's dead.
Time moves on.
he's found Thorne in the modern day
they bring him back to life
and he gets his job back
he doesn't want to be famous
just wants to be a peer teacher
back in his old school
so he's like this old school
pea teacher in a modern day school
and then
with all the sort of you know
with the daughter's the same age
his daughter's his age
you know
yeah it's good
it's absolutely class
when I was again
I love Buck Rogers
that's my favourite program
you're too young
I used to watch Buck Rogers
no I remember but yeah
yeah yeah
so I based a lot on Buck Rogers
and people didn't
they haven't sort of worked up.
A lot of the names are from Buck Rogers.
Oh, it's a full homage.
That's great.
Yeah, I shouldn't tell anybody this.
Well, you are.
Well, I am.
So his daughter's called Mel
because Mel Blank did the voice of Twiki,
the robot in Buck Rogers.
That's why she's called Mel.
And his grandson's called Theo,
because Theo was the computer
on the front of Tweaky, you remember?
I wonder if anyone's work this out until now?
I'm just telling you now.
And then he does a little...
He does a little sketch of a robot.
The robot's called Tweaky 3,000, Buck Rogers.
The name of the school is called Nolan High School
because he was a fellow that wrote the original radio play of Buck Rogers.
And his best mate's called?
Book Rogers.
Roger Buck.
Is it?
Roger Buck.
And no one's mess up.
What are they?
What are they?
What they call him? Easter eggs, the youngsters?
Yeah, yeah.
Easter eggs, isn't it?
But not now.
They just smashed open for everyone.
I've missed the third series, no.
Bollocks to.
Have you always had a moustache, Mike?
Not always.
No, you have.
In my head, you had a full fucking handlebar at about 11.
I always wanted a moustache.
Well, as a kid, I wanted a moustache.
Yeah, badly.
Love Burt Reynolds.
Love Tom Selleck.
I suppose about 10, 12 years now, Ed?
You suit the moustache in the sideburns.
It's a look you really suit.
The thing is, when he shave it off now, it looks wrong.
Yeah.
Like when he shaves his off.
Yeah.
You can have a no mustache, and it's fine.
But what you grow a mustache,
you've got to stick with it for the long, you know.
I think there are people that when I grew up out of moustaches
and shaved him off because of weakness.
Like, so, Nigel Mansell looks wrong, right?
Oh, yeah.
David Seaman.
Wrong.
Oh, yeah?
Graham Gooch looks wrong, you know?
Wow, oh yeah, Simon.
What's you know for a moustache, you've got to keep it?
Yeah, totally.
What do you think of Harry's mustache?
That's a good moustache.
Yeah, but he's got to keep that now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He would look mental without that now.
He'd look so much younger without.
it. He's got a mullet and a moustache
and he's got to stick to it. That's a strong look.
Also, it's easy growing mustaches now.
They're in. Mike's
rode it out through the fucking, the dark
times of it. When I started, believe me.
If anyone's seen Mammoth and then
you're seeing Mike on the podcast today,
like, wow, he's really committing to the bit.
No. The sitcom
has been made
so Mike could be who he is
on the television.
This is how I've always known.
you dressed on stage in real life.
What someone said to me,
I love that car in Mammoth, mate.
Like a prairie. It's nice, isn't it?
He said, why do you ask you if they're like to keep it?
It's my car.
You'd be a good cop.
You'd look like you'd be going to be going to a cop show.
I'd love to do a cop show.
A cop show.
You've got to...
Old school, though, you know what I mean?
Yeah, like a Colombo can.
Sweet ass.
Yeah, I love a bit of Crombo.
Both for it.
She's sweet ass.
Sweet ass.
Oh, I thought he said sweet ass.
He did to me.
He has got a sweet ass.
I did
Celebrity Mastermind
Ask me how we got on
How'd you get on?
I won it
What was your
Specialised subject
James Garner
Jim Rockford
From the Rockford Files
What was your specialist subject?
James Garner from the Rockford Files
The problem is
The problem is
I only know is in the Rockford Files
Delay
I'm just bent
It's nice
It is
What's the Rockford Files?
Is that a TV show?
Google it.
All right.
I haven't got it.
He'll do it.
It is a brilliant.
It's a brilliant detective series where James Garner plays Jim Rockford.
Oh, I know his face.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
So he's basically, he was wrongly imprisoned, gets out of the slimmer.
He can't get his old job back in the police department, so he ends up being a private detective.
You know, it's a great bit of me.
I love the idea to be in a private detective, you know.
Because obviously if you're a police officer and you get to the point where your detective, you're sort of
still overshadowed by the boss, aren't you?
Like, get in here, a row.
You're not detect them properly, but if you're a private detective,
you can just go off and do you.
You can cut corners.
You can, you know, plant evidence, whatever you need to do.
How would you do that, though?
Say I asked you to, I think Seneca's cheating on me.
And you go, I'm a PI.
Yeah.
I go, in a week I want to know what's going on.
Get a honeypot.
Yeah.
I call my phone.
Just leave most out of the house.
Deck chair outside your house.
What would you do?
have I said, like, in a week, I want to know
who this guy is.
Do you know for sure?
Yeah, and like, I've, I don't know,
I've found a, I don't know,
I've something, like a donkey or something.
Yeah, I've found something in a bag that,
like a condom wrapper.
Used?
Yeah, open.
A used condom wrapper?
It's opened and it's in a bag
and we don't use them.
So I'm like, we're just that.
You've got a week, what you do?
What if I spend a week investigating
and I find out she's just making balloon animals
in a spare time?
I'd be made up.
Can you tell me that in a week?
yeah
what did you do
just sit outside that out of us or
I'd follow her
meanwhile
he keeps banging a girlfriend
so it wouldn't win really
you
don't know
that's a really
a stroke of bad luck
if the privacy
you hire
is the one shagging you heard
yeah yeah
yeah
I mean if you
that's a good idea
for a sitcom though
I'm gonna minute
yeah
a follower
yeah
you just
you say like
three or four
cars behind them, don't you?
That's John Theft Auto, isn't it?
What?
You're thinking of Grand The Auto missions?
I never did.
The missions.
I just went around
shagging prostitutes
and then get my money back.
It's like a bad payout.
Can you get a refund in Grand Thefts?
Oh, can you?
If you kill them and pick the money up, yeah.
You pick a prostitutes up.
So whenever you kill someone in Grand Theft Auto,
they drop all less stuff.
So if they've got a gun, you pick their gun up.
You've got money.
Drop the money.
And I remember I wall up some,
like, prostitutes, some of,
a girl off the street.
Turkish?
Shacked her in my car.
and then, like, kicked it out.
And she charged me like 250 Grand Theft Auto monies.
And I'd run her over and surely had it, 150 of her.
And I was like, here, pimps, like, already got his commission.
He's nowhere nearer.
Works for Raval.
She spent $100 getting kicked out of your car after a wallop.
I'm doing the economics of brasses on GTO, like, 40.
But I was just like this.
It's sort of ruined the whole game for me.
The immersion is dumb, man.
It was just, like, I know she's got $2.50
because she's just took it off, me.
I never played, I've never,
I've never played a video game.
Oh, that's sad.
It's such a fun.
Yeah, I know.
They got invented in the 80s, so he's no interest.
I'm interested.
I got Astro Wars on my bar.
They've ever played Pong?
No.
Really?
Pong's the one with the, like, the temperateist one.
Yeah, that's like the mostly.
My mate had that.
My mate Michael Payne had Pong, his own mom was a copper, Greg.
And they lived in a police house in.
Greg Payne. That's a great copper name.
Wow.
Detective Greg Payne as well.
That might be the manliest man I've ever.
Executive Greg Payne.
But they have the first...
What do they call it?
You plugged into the TV aerial.
And he played it with like,
were dials.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You could change the size of the paddle.
Yeah, yeah.
And he can move it up and down with the dials.
And that was it.
Like the most rude event.
It's the first game.
What have you got near?
Because you've got a man cave like,
no other.
It's like, you know, when people go,
I like an old fashioned,
an old man's pub,
he Mike's got the
man cave version of that
it's incredible
nice so I've got a little Astro Wars on the bar there
which is like a
it was it was the toy I couldn't afford to have
in about 1982
yeah isn't that a lot of male adult life
yeah going yeah this is my money now
when we took off a little bit
I bought himself a ball and a cup
yeah yeah I always wanted one
you know how to follow me
but see Dan going through Liverpool
is just a hoop and a stick
When I was a kid, I had a cup and a stone,
but now I've got money.
Yeah, I sit in it.
A bit of string in between as well.
Fucking great stuff.
But I think it is.
I think it is, I don't think midlife crisis is a midlife crisis.
I think it's, I think you've finally got a bit of money
and you can afford to buy the toys you couldn't buy when you were little.
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
I'd like to sports car at 21, 22.
I just couldn't fucking afford it.
I've got all the cars one that would ever buy.
I got, you know, the motorbikes and all that stuff.
And it's not like...
Do you buy the motorbike?
Yeah, yeah.
What are we talking?
I got a Harley.
Because I always want that a Harley
and now we can afford a Harley.
And it's got like a purple spangly
tank and white wall tires
and ridiculous.
How often do you ride there?
Twice here.
I'm not seeing back.
But you feel fucking incredible.
It's there, wouldn't it?
It's in my bus.
In the back of the bar,
there's the Harley there.
That's so cool.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, this is the thing people don't understand
because I'm quite materialistic.
I like buying stuff.
I like having things.
I don't mind admitting that.
Like everyone's like looks at materialism.
I'm like, it's like the worst thing.
I like having stuff.
Yeah, why not?
Yeah?
So, like, my message recently was like,
you don't use that coffee machine anymore.
Like, we should sell the coffee machine
and put something else there.
I'm like, I like looking at it.
It looks nice.
It looks like a coffee machine should go there.
Ad, you never know, ad.
I bought a really nice guitar.
We went to London to buy a guitar, right?
Yeah.
Made out this Gretsch guitar,
I loved it.
I'm a shit guitarist.
I can't play, right?
But I said, that's beautiful.
Well, online, gone, right?
There was one for sale in London,
second end.
Took a train to London, bought the guitar,
came home, just put on a stand
in the spare room,
painted the room too much to the guitar, and left it there,
just looking fucking nice.
That is incredible.
Well, then a year ago, I took my daughter for her 13th birthday
to Liverpool, she's a big Beatles fan, right?
I bought a little acoustic guitar from the Beatles shop
with, like, Abbey Road on it.
I thought it just put on a wall in the house.
She didn't play guitar, right?
She came home, she's had to learn it herself,
and then she, and I gave my old acoustic, she had to go on that.
She said, Dad, can I play your Gratch?
I said, yeah, Philly Butts, no problem.
So I guess paid a lot of the time now.
But that's not why I bought it.
Well, it'd you look nice.
I thought you're about to say,
no,
can you fuck?
That's for the spare room.
I did for the first two or three weeks
when she was shut.
I said,
no,
baby,
you're not.
But then I thought,
come on.
You painted the rooms and match it.
That is,
I aspire to that.
Oh,
you've got to do it.
Yeah,
I'd love to do it.
Yeah,
I qualify for matches like that.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
Buy clothes to match living rooms
and living rooms to match clothes.
Yeah.
You buy clothes to match your living room?
Yeah,
I saw like oranges and browns,
so I got like orange and brown
wallpaper. All mid-century
stuff. I like, you know, I live
this in my house. If you ever get rid of this, let me know.
Right?
But I got a lot of orange furniture, brown furniture. I got a nice
big orange sofa. But I wear
like nice orange and brown shirts and brown
cords. You're gonna me?
You used to need to go for a pint.
Honestly, like I'm looking at it. I'm like, this is my
style icon, you're gonna me? It's like you're doing
the cover of Vogue,
but you're just having a cup of tea in your front
room. Yeah, I know. Yeah, but you
You want to match your vibe, don't you?
Do I mean?
No.
I can believe that you do.
I have never thought,
oh shit, I'm going to be sat in the living room today.
What am I wearing to match the walls?
But it's class that you can appreciate it.
I sort of got a Rockweiler because it matches me sideboard.
These shoes, right?
I love these shoes.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
He looks, like him sat against the sideboard,
he looks class.
He's black and brown.
He's got loads of warm browns, loads of teak.
You know,
You know, in a hardwood.
I can't believe that.
I can't believe that.
That is true, isn't it?
And that's what, like, a Bernese mountain dog
would have been good as well.
That was, like, top choice of Bernies.
Sounds like a full-on Nazi rally to me.
Brown shirts, everyone in brown shirts, big Alstations everywhere.
Mike, the shoes are a strong look.
Yeah, yeah.
Adam's gone with a strong-luck shoe today as well.
I've not seen that.
Do you know what?
I saw a pair of those in black leather,
but they were Dr. Martin?
No, they're powder boots.
I had Dr. Martin once.
Yeah.
Almost identical to that.
I love them.
I should wear them with jean shorts
when that was all right.
Yeah.
Holy fuck.
What of fucking image that is.
Oh, I became less gay then.
So I'm a bit OCD.
I really like these shoes.
So I bought another pair
exactly the same.
And then I bought two other pairs.
So I've got four pairs of these
exactly the same shoes.
Same color?
Everything.
No, I think there's nothing wrong with this.
I've got repeat,
Once you've got something and you've got a bit of tism,
you like it and you think, well, if this gets lost or scuffed or damaged,
you've got the other pair.
Instead of going back online going, oh, it's not.
Yeah, yeah, they're gone.
Yeah, so I got four pairs of these.
Then this morning, I couldn't find the pair that I'm currently wearing.
Didn't really want to break the box on it on another pair.
So I put a pair of Adidas, Beckhambauer trainers on.
I thought, you're full of no one, mate.
What did you think?
A German centred half.
He just looked like a German center of.
I just thought, fuck it, I'm not, I can't, I cannot go out.
Meet Adam and Dan, we're in trainers.
It looks like I'm trying to add.
All right, kids.
She must have cream loafers on to try less hard.
Baseball cap, fuck off.
I like the socks as well, socks are jazzy.
Are they all right, isn't they?
Yeah, yeah, I like that.
Yeah.
I think socks are an underutilized way to spice up your outfit.
You can have a little pop of color.
Just a little.
But you've gone bold.
I mean, fair play, you've gone sandals, but obviously not with socks.
You're not, no, I mean, yeah.
Yeah.
Just, I want to let me feet breathe a bit, you know, play five aside.
Last night and they were still a bit warm this morning.
That's nice to do.
Yeah.
Hang on, most of your clothes are a pop-a-court.
The colourful socks is usually like a TV presenter or like a city businessman
that has to wear that shitty uniform and then, like, a bit of character, pink socks.
You two are a fucking colour chart.
Yeah, but that's fine.
This is quite a neutral top, in it?
Yeah, by that cardigan.
This is a neutral top, neutral hat, neutral earth-coloured pants,
dark brown belt, dark brown sandals.
I think there's a question, right?
My phone.
The khaki or sand-coloured trousers, right?
Which I think on the spectrum is also like,
let's go light grade all the way to khaki.
Yeah.
Problem with that that I have.
I think we all know this.
I've turned 50 now.
Yeah, I know where you're going.
Dribbly cock.
Worst, worst thing ever.
Even your thirties, Mike.
Is it?
Yeah.
Even your 20s for Harry.
If you're at a wedding and all the groomsmen are wearing,
like grey suits.
You just know they're going to be...
Full of his.
Their dicks are going to be waving
into the hand dryer most of the night.
So...
If you ever rubbed your crotch
under a hand dryer at a wedding?
Yeah.
Of course you fucking have.
Absolutely not.
Of course you have.
You've never dried a suit like that?
I'll put my dick in a dice and airblade,
yeah, of course.
We just want to feel alive, right?
That's fair enough.
So any trousers...
If I ever have a day
where I'm wearing trousers, like I am today,
that would show up a fleck of piss.
What are you doing?
So if I've got like, you know,
a pair of raw denim's on,
I just fucking let it get, right?
Do you know what?
Just pissing over yourself?
There's a bit of piss.
There's a bit of piss.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just pissing.
Lime on the floor,
pissing in the air of them.
If I've got these on all day,
every single wee I have is a sit-down wee.
Yeah.
And then you just,
you just wait until,
you give it a good 30 seconds
after you finish pissing
before you even think about standing up.
So I've had four sit-down pisses since I got in today.
80% of my wees are sit-down now.
But if you really,
And I like that are you sitting down in like pub toilets?
No, probably not in a pub now.
You can't sit down in pub, no.
No, you'd never come back.
You can't. I've asked a shit in there, so.
Oh, I had a shit in Charlotte Church's mother's pub.
For that pub at the end.
It's never been said.
I had the shit, so I've been, I was drinking pear cider for the first and last time in my life.
Shit in his mum.
It's pub.
I was drinking a pair cider for the first and last time in my life.
And I followed through.
I thought, fuck, I've shut myself.
In Charlotte, Cherokee's mother's pole.
I went to the toilet,
lot myself in the cubicle there,
took my jeans off.
Off?
Yeah, off.
Well, I've shot myself at.
They're gone.
Yeah, I took them off, took the pants off.
I thought, fuck me.
There was no bin in there.
The window's welded shut.
I don't know.
I thought, what am I going to do?
I've washed myself.
I've cleaned myself.
To the best of my bed.
but I've got a sore pair of underpants
but the jeans back on

on one of those programs.
Have I got news for you?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't watch it.
Yeah, I was just in there
having a piss, mind of my own business
and Ian Islop walked him.
Did he do the face?
I feel like you tower over him.
He's not a big man in every way.
But, uh, no, I just want to say
the purpose of a libel I didn't see his dick.
I've never seen him stood off.
I've never seen his legs
I'm not like I've ever seen his legs
I'm stood up that's how small he is
everyone else
I sat down
I did try to break the ice with him
but I just panicked a bit
it was pretty sort of comedy days for me
so I wasn't used to meeting people like that
so he sort of out of piss
and he said alright Ian
he went hi
yeah what are you doing on here
he's like I'm having a piss
yeah
I should shut up now
getting recognised in toilets
is always unnecessarily awkward
in it
follow me to the fucking toilets last time went out with my wife.
He said, I'm a big fan of your podcast.
So, thanks, great. Yeah, grab a selfie. Say in a minute, yeah.
So I go in for a piss.
And he did, he did his lap. He's on the next one to me.
He's going, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been a patron mate since day one.
I said, fantastic. I really appreciate you.
Thanks very much for all your sport.
I said, could we have a chat after?
I've just got my dick around as all, you know.
And he wouldn't let it go.
I was absolutely desperate to go for a number two recently.
Out?
Yeah.
Fair play.
Sit down.
I was in the Monroe.
He stands up for a shit, that's the thing.
And I went, so their toilets just have,
I think it's just one cubicle.
And if there's someone in there, you're just done.
So I went to the bar and I was like,
could I have the radar key for the disabled toilet
just quickly?
And they were like, yeah, they'd get me out.
You go into your fake limp, did he?
Yeah.
Thank you, cheers.
And as I went to go in, a lad come over and I was like,
Adam, can I just get a quick picture?
And I was like, I'm very clearly about to do something
that I really need to do.
And he's like, yeah, just quit.
I was like, no, like, in a minute.
Like, I'm going into a, like, just use your head.
And he's like, oh, lad, I'm going to be getting off
in a minute.
So I was like, well, I just had to shut it.
I was like, I'm going to poo during the selfie.
You've got to be nice to people because we've both got nice listeners.
But, and usually that's perfectly fine, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sometimes.
I got recognised in a toilet with Harry at a wrestling event.
And I was using the urinal.
And there was a cue for the urinal.
So I'm like, oh, that's Carl from Mavoward.
And they were talking about me in earshot.
Oh look, it's just like one of us.
I was like, I'm just having a piss.
What you think I pissed like fucking
at my ass or something?
Yeah, I mean, too.
People have such a strange perception.
I was sat outside Petit Cafe on Lark Lane
and some lab walked past them and went,
oh, Adam Brow having a pint like a normal person.
Just having a pint of line.
It's like one of us.
Yeah, like piss in there, Ireland.
Well, someone's a piss.
Yeah.
Just like, one of us,
well, yell, salt to the earth.
He's sitting out of his own cock.
You think he'd have a stunk right now?
Someone else's cock kissing for me, yeah?
Wipe at his own house, if you please.
It is, Matt, when people talk about you within ear shot, have you?
Yes, I fucking hate it.
Weird.
I think I'd almost prefer it if they would be in horrible.
If someone was going, I fucking hate that.
Adam, no, he's a knobbed because I could laugh and make a joke about that.
But when someone's just going, oh, I like him, he's funny.
I like his stuff.
You can't turn around.
You can't be asked.
Thank you.
my penis out.
Yeah, you're kind of not going to be act, haven't you?
Yeah.
And then go, oh, boy, fucking hell,
I didn't see us there.
You can't be like, what, me?
Yeah.
It's the worst.
I got recognised in,
what's the new warehouse?
It's Iceland, but it's called the food warehouse,
I think.
It's the fucking class.
And I saw them clocked me,
two young lads working there.
And they went,
are you from the podcast?
And I went, oh, yeah, you went,
oh, yeah, yeah.
Didn't say much.
And I was only like three or four steps away.
And I heard one of the go,
yeah, that's the unfunny one.
Oh.
And you like,
thanks,
boys.
Cheers,
boys.
That's not fair.
Lard.
That stinks.
I'll take my chicken nuggets to go.
I was in Mahuntleth,
comedy festival last weekend,
doing a couple of shows up there.
How was it?
How is it?
Great.
Henry's done a great job.
It just goes from strength to strength.
It's lovely up there.
I was doing a show of Rock Gilbert on Saturday night.
we did a bit of a cancer fundraiser thing, right?
So I'm doing it for nothing anyway, right?
My wife and kids are there.
I'm sitting outside and bloc him.
I said, oh, yeah, Mike, are you doing the show?
I said, I am, yeah.
Oh, I'll live here to see you.
He said, oh, can I have a selfie?
I said, if you want, yeah, no problem at all.
Selfie.
And then his wife went, should I know who you are?
Yeah.
I thought, fuck off.
We said this last week.
We were talking about this last week.
When someone comes over to you
and you have a lovely interaction with them
and then someone with them
acts like you've gone over going.
Like, I fuck, I'm like I'm a diva.
I go, fuck off.
Yeah.
Who are you?
Should I know where you are?
Maybe not.
I don't even know you.
Yeah.
But then it's the people who don't know you
who then get a picture with you.
Oh, I say no.
I'm the fucking worst.
They're like, oh, I don't know who are.
Are you famous, mate?
No, not really.
I've said no.
Photograph.
Like that.
Because I've had people come over and do the whole,
am I meant to know, yeah, who are you,
a lad?
And I'm like, I do stand up, sorry.
He watches me stuff.
Oh, can I get a picture with you as well?
And I go, no.
Good.
What for?
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's a picture of me and someone I don't know.
You might know them.
Just fucking say.
No, lads.
I've got a radar key for the reason.
Oh, I was so desperate to go for the shite that day.
I was, it was such an emergency.
He's like, well, that's picture?
It's just can't happen.
There's nothing worse, though, is there?
I haven't done one alfresco since university days, but I mean.
Alfresco?
Outside?
Oh, yeah.
What?
Like outside, poo?
Well, you have to sometimes.
Do you?
I'm for years and years, but I mean, yeah, 25 years ago, yeah.
Yeah, I haven't since January.
You know.
You've outside pooed.
Well, I was on a fucking bus for like three hours.
Come back on rugby game.
Desper for a shit.
I didn't live in halls.
So we get back to Holes of residence, but I don't live there.
I thought, I've really had a shit.
I thought, fuck, I'll get home.
It's only half an hour from me, I'll get home.
But I've been out all day.
I've had a few beers.
Well, it's not, this is not happening.
And I had a shit in a public park.
But it's fine.
Absolutely fine.
It's night time.
It was night time, yeah.
It wasn't like an afternoon kickup or anything.
And the other time,
I watched the,
I took us to watch Rolling Stones back in 1990,
I think it was,
and maybe 91.
And they cancelled the gig last minute,
so we went at the pub and just went on an all day
and said,
listen to Rolling Stone stuff in the beer garden.
Got really pissed badly.
And we were staying back at my,
Nick was staying in my place.
And there's a field
at the end of my dad's street
and I sort of walk into the field.
I said, I need a shit.
He said, you live a hundred yards away.
I said, no, but I need a shit now.
Sometimes,
sometimes.
Your asshole knows that it's close as well.
It's like, ah.
Nearly there. I'm too excited.
So I had to go, I just shit in the field.
And then one of my neighbours was walking the dog.
But it was dark, thankfully.
So Nick would have pretend that I was a dog.
Should I just ask her if she had any poo bags on her
and just pick it up?
This is pre-pooh bags, mate.
To hear it, it looks like you've left your house
to go and poo in the field.
With your mate, the shipper out.
Come with me.
I'm scared of the dark.
Keep an eye, mate, will you?
You mentioned the Roland Stones
cancelling a concert there
This is going to be a smooth
Have you seen loads of like
Tours are getting cancelled
Because like
Artists are proper and overpricing themselves
Pussy cat dolls
Pussy cat dolls have cancelled
The tour
The whole tour
They've not cancelled the UK
They've cancelled their American tour
I saw Blackies
I went to see Blackies
In an arena
A few years ago
And it was like
Ooh
This isn't an arena
Amount of people
And their next tour
Was the same arena
And they didn't even get close
It's like
Someone's really illivise
you there.
Don't rubber them, but you.
It's, yeah, apparently they've gone in
and like, oh yeah, Pushing of Goddolls are back together.
Everyone will be excited about this.
So 300 quitter, and everyone's gone.
That's too much show in it.
No.
Fuck me.
They were the first band they ever,
the first music I ever saw live with the Pud's God dolls.
Band.
Are they a band?
Girl band?
Yeah.
They count as a band, but not.
They're the first music ever saw live.
They haven't got the affection to do a nostalgia tour
at 300 quitter ticket.
No.
I think when Taylor Swift's knocking about,
that's the ticket that defines three years
when you go and see live music if you're into it.
Like, her hospitality ticket that we got was $2.50.
So what's a...
For the biggest artist on the planet
and of her generation at her peak.
It's just mad for them.
That's crazy, pricing.
Yeah.
Yeah, places I've gone ridiculous.
But haven't they ruled that it was a monopoly
between ticket master and Live Nation?
Yeah.
Hasn't been ruled that it was a monopoly.
Could possibly comment.
No, neither could we.
That doesn't sound right.
I'm sure one of those companies is doing great work.
Has your music taste stayed with the 60s and 70s?
Because I know you're a big Elvis fan.
Is it stayed there, or do you venture into modern stuff?
I like a bit of modern stuff, 80s as well.
Because I was at a teenager in the 80s,
so a lot of 80s stuff, a lot of 70s stuff.
My daughter and I'm, my little girl there.
I don't know because of me or whatever,
but like a Spotify do this age.
You've seen your Spotify age?
Yeah.
She's like 78.
He's 13.
He's like the old stuff.
It was probably like rock and roll 50s stuff as well.
That's great.
Isra was in his 80s, I think.
He listened to like Haitian Creole music from the 20s.
Well, the last two gigs I booked the sea with her
was got cancelled.
So with Billy Joel in Liverpool.
Yeah, I was going to that.
I got cancelled.
And then I had Neil Young in Cardiff, cancelled.
Gutted.
Why did Billy Joel cancel?
He's not well.
He's ill.
Yeah.
And he's not buying tickets for pensioners, eh?
I mean, it was delayed and now it's cancel
because he's not going to see.
whenever the
no, I think he's
he's just not performing anymore.
It's from saying he wouldn't be able to
Yeah, he would, you know, not be able to...
But you can still go and see Frankie Valley
whenever you want.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Have you seen the videos?
Yeah, yeah.
Can see the ghost of Frankie Valley.
But also they then release a statement
by Frankie Valley to prove that he's perfectly fine.
I thought like, yeah, like no one else can type that, could they?
That couldn't possibly happen.
He doesn't move his lips when he sings?
He's a human speaking spell.
He can see?
Have he been to Grace Land?
was it like?
I was 19 fucking epic, yeah.
I did, but I didn't understand geography.
It was pre-Google, it was pre-internet.
It was pre-mobile phones.
A girlfriend at the time that I was with,
her cousin got married in Toronto.
I was 19 and I thought,
oh, North America, I got a Graceland.
Right?
Easy double?
Yeah, double up.
So we flew to New York
and then we got a train
because I thought to save a few quid
to New Orleans,
but that took about 32 hours.
And then we got a train from New Orleans
to Memphis.
Went to Graceland,
two nights in Memphis,
then we got a train to Chicago
that took fucking ages,
trained to Detroit,
trained at Buffalo,
and then we got a bus to Toronto for the wedding.
And then you got back in the UK yesterday
after all of that.
What time I got back?
They were divorced.
What was Graceland like?
Oh, epic.
I mean, I've loved Alas since I was a kid, right?
So the weirdest thing is,
it's not that big.
It's like a nice size four bedroom house,
like a double bayfronted four bedroom house,
but with the big door.
You know, and you walk in there and you just think,
literally, you touch his door handle and think,
Elvis's door, not?
Elvis just touched his door, not? Yeah.
Elvis is brushed against this wallpaper.
Let's see, it was a bit weird.
Well, I haven't been back since,
but I'm thinking next year,
there'll be 50 years next year since he passed away.
You know, if you'd ever want to save money though
and stuff like that, just find out, like,
somewhere he played in the UK.
Like, maybe he played the Hammersmith Apollo.
Go to the pub next door.
And just, like, he probably went for the pint before
or after the show, didn't he?
Never came.
Never came.
It's a very valid point,
except all of their,
Elvis Tism has been set off.
He never came to the UK
because of his manager.
Never gig does show the USA?
It wasn't loud, was he?
No, because of Tom Hanks.
Sorry?
Tom Parker.
Tom Hanks in the film.
Oh, okay.
Watch the film, the film's great.
Have you seen Priscilla as well?
Yeah, but have you seen the new Elvis film?
Epic.
Oh, the live one?
Oh, no, it's a good.
Chef's kiss three times
to cinema one week.
Oh, sick.
Oh, yeah.
What were your thoughts on the biopic
a couple of years ago?
Because I'm a bit hesitant
to some of massive Beatles fan.
I think it was great.
I'm a bit. I loved it.
Nervous.
Again, I watch that three times in a week as well.
He's so good at it as well.
Baz Luhrman, the way he's twisted it
and given it a little, you know.
Apparently he couldn't change his voice
for ages after it, could he?
What's the name about that?
He did a great...
I tell you what a good actor he is.
I started thinking, how is he played Elvis?
Elvis is like the sexist man overlived.
You're not a sexy man.
By the time he's in the white jumpsuit
in the sort of international.
I had a fucking bono in watching him.
Did you like Jacob Aloady's?
Yeah.
In Priscilla.
Do you like his Elfellie?
Elvis. A bit tall for me.
Elvis is six for two.
Yeah, but Jacob Blas, like six, six, and he?
Like, I suppose it wasn't about him, but I, like, I like,
Elvis's music and I don't know it inside out, like a fan like you, but, like, his, like,
start, like, really, like, interests me.
Oh, I love him. Yeah.
So I always do the, when I, before I started doing comedy, actually, I was doing an Elvis
tribute act.
I was still teaching, and then I stopped, I stopped playing rugby on the weekend, which
paid me a few quid.
But I wasn't doing that, so I thought, well, I came a few quid short now.
So I started doing like an Elvis act
going around the South Wales valleys
playing like working men's clubs
In the EU
I see an Elvis comedy
Tributes act in Tenerife
Into a little bar in Tenerife
They had a Elvis comedy night
And it was a fellow coming out
And he'd do
He'd do like three one liners
And then he'd be like right
And now he's
If you don't know me by now
And he'd sing you know
Oh God I want to
Yeah
It was that sexy
I'd probably want to swing for it
to be honest.
There's a tour at the minute
that's Elvis front in a
Nirvana tribute band.
Yeah, do you know
that fucking idea?
I got to be in a couple of mates of mine.
If you're from Barry in South Wales,
right, everyone's into heavy metal music as well, right?
It's a big heavy metal part of the country.
Okay.
So we put it, me and my mate Dave was a drummer,
my mate, uh,
die was a bass player.
And we,
there was a studio in Barry,
we used to go in now and again.
I said,
we started doing,
um,
Elvis songs in like a heavy metal style.
Let's call it like Elvis rocks,
good name.
and then the Elvan I think they called
do they?
Yeah.
That came around about six months after that
I thought you fucker
They've been watching us
You've done a Trevor Noah
They nick my stuff
Trevor Noah nicked your stuff
Not for me to say
You keep saying things mate
Not for me to say
Do you think there'll ever be a star
That's got his level of stardom
No
Again
Well it was him
And then Michael Jackson
And then it stopped
The Beatles in the middle
Yeah
I mean, the Beatles are massive, right?
The thing with Elvis is, you know, he'd be 91, if he was alive now.
I mean, you've been an old man, but people are still packing out cinemas and stuff.
It's weird.
Yeah, but do you not think he'd have lost something to that?
Like, there's some, the legend is added to if you die young.
Yeah, yeah.
Also, all of you.
Frankie Valley.
Like, they all started in groups.
Do I mean, there's the Beatles, the Jackson 5.
There was no Elvis 5, was there?
Not that we know of.
there was the hillbilly cat and the blue moon boys
when they first started out
the what?
He was called the hillbilly cat and the blue moon boys
but very, for only for a few months
and then they changed.
So Elvis.
Then they were like this kid.
It was Elvis and the Jordan Ayers
and then it was just Elvis.
The Jordan Ayers.
One word.
He's head of his time, man.
Not the Jordan Airs.
That would be even better, wouldn't it?
Elvis invented the Jordan Air.
The genius.
Fucking genius.
They wouldn't show us legs on telly?
because he was that sexy.
Yeah, true.
They'd only shoot him from the waist off.
Yeah, had anyone actually danced with their crotch before in the history of man?
No white people.
I think he was accused of like trying to do black person dancing.
Apparently he appropriated their music and made the, like, you know.
Oh, I'm not going to criticize.
I'm trying to do their comedy, so it's fine.
Say, well?
Well, they're doing my comedy too, so don't worry about it.
All right, Trev, you watching?
I don't know what this beef is, but.
But he was.
band venues are like stop doing that dancing because the women are literally losing their
fucking mind.
We haven't got enough west floor signs, hell.
It does happen.
Hell.
Hell.
I know him.
You're two movers?
Huh?
You movers on the dance floor?
I'm very play safe me.
I'm very...
It's okay.
Dan's a mover.
I'm here.
You can move, Dan's a mover.
Can I move?
Hips don't lie.
Oof.
Are you moving, Mike?
It seems like you are.
Oh, fuck, I know, big time.
Yeah.
Have you got the hips?
Oh, yeah.
Are you first on the floor at a wedding?
Always.
And last off.
That's the important bit.
Snake hips.
Last off.
Yeah, first on.
And then everyone else gets on.
You know what?
Generally,
I was in a silent disco
about five years ago.
We did a thing called Tourist Trap
and we wrapped on that.
And then the girl who played my wife in it,
she's great.
Mari, we were out with this silent disco together.
It's probably like a glitter disco,
you know what I mean?
Really cool 70s disco type thing.
and there's a makeup girl
so I'll have the disco
doing makeup of her people
I said just do just glitter my mustache for me
she'd be in there about an hour
she went she said can I tell you something
I said yeah
she said everyone else in here
hears the music
but you feel it
I'm like that at a country concert
it just gets me you know
yeah I love it man
nothing like it just let yourself go
yeah let's dance like no one's watching
dance like every fucker's watching
I had the twist on that
It was dance like you're blind
Yeah
Yeah yeah
You can't see what anyone thinks
No
Do you keep walking into stuff though
Yeah yeah yeah
About dance like you deaf
Can't hear what anyone thinks
Good idea
That is true
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
They could be going
You shys
And you just think they're going
You see
That's rough
down in the dance clothes
And shout
You shat
And then Chris McAausland
Won a dancing show
And he proved me right
Yeah
Fucking hell
That's amazing that
Yeah
he's such a nice bloke, Chris.
Yeah, he's boss.
When he was down in Cardiff a couple of times, we gig together.
And then my kids were a little at a time,
and he was still doing, like, uh, kid's TV as well.
So I said, you want to go meet the,
I remember his character was called out of,
like a fruit and red shop, didn't he?
Gept getting robbed.
He was, uh, no.
He was in Cardiff, I want to go meet him.
So, uh, we went for breakfast,
and then I took him and his dog and my boy up to the park.
We stayed over the dog for a couple of hours,
and then I dropped Chris back at the hotel.
the next time I saw him, I said, do I am, mate?
I said, where's the dog?
He said, I have to get rid of the dog.
I said, what?
He said, yeah, he said, the dog walked out in front of moving traffic.
You know, the dog fucking forgot how to be a guide dog.
I said, you're kidding me.
He said, no, I said, and once that happens,
they can't be a guide dog anymore.
They go and live in a fucking house somewhere, you know,
do dog stuff.
I said, well, don't they give you a new dog?
He said, no, you go back of the queue again,
then, because you've had a dog.
They give you, like, a defective dog.
Oh, wow.
You can have it for a while.
He walks in front of a bus
and they got to wait for another fucking dog.
It doesn't seem what?
That's mental.
You can get like a faulty dog.
The guy dog was like, yeah, you're good to go.
Yeah, just a, you know.
Hello.
Yeah.
Who story?
Bad dog, bad day, the office for the dog there.
Yeah.
I didn't think, I don't know why I thought this,
but I just didn't think that was possible.
Because surely that's day,
if that's ever, like, possible to happen.
Well, that's why they don't give you a second chance, I think.
You do,
what's your guy
be fine next time?
I suppose it's made that one.
How many blind people die every year
because their guide dog walks
in front of traffic?
Whoa.
Google that,
have a look at that.
Because it must be like in the tents.
Must be minimal.
It's quite rare that a dog
don't function as a dog.
They're so,
they're so trained.
Turn them off.
Back on again.
Aren't guide dogs being phased out a little bit?
I don't see him as much.
Guide robots now.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
I don't know why,
but the ONS don't track this.
They don't track the amount of people
I'm better in the days, I mean, that's why.
Big guy, dogs had a word, that's why.
We was like, wait till the day
when the guy, so, I always think it's so impressive
John, they got like the stick.
Like the thing, and they just put it in front of them
and they basically just maping the world out.
He was walking on the main road,
but there was like a cordoned off seating area
for a bar, and he just walked into that
and I just walked to the end of it.
And I was like, do I help him?
Do it, like, is it like me being a bit,
maybe, maybe, um,
condescending. I was like, mate, you,
you've got yourself trapped there, lad.
You went to, oh, fuck, now, thank you so much.
And, like, found his way out.
It's like, the bravery to go out
with just a stick.
It's mental.
I wonder if you'd still be there, if you hadn't stopped in?
Yeah.
Imagine you did it have to be one three weeks ago.
Do you remember when we went for lunch?
Oh.
And that cafe,
one of the best things of ever seen.
It was a fellow,
I walked around with a blind guy stick.
And then as he come around the corner,
and obviously it's because they're still sensitive to light.
But he come around the corner and the sun came from behind the clouds
and he went like this.
So he's using his stick and he went,
I know.
It just looked.
It was perfect.
Fucking insane.
My mate Steve runs a tribute festival down in Aberystraith, right?
It's a fantastic weekend, right?
Nice part of the world, nice food, nice beer, nice everything.
We could a campsite.
But I was done three or four years ago with him.
And I'm listening for a while.
So we were on a chat.
But he's running the whole show.
There's a little walkie-talkie on there.
He said, I said, what for?
I got to get Stevie Wonder on stage.
Fucking genuinely, right?
So I just stand there.
And he's the father of something like Birmingham, right?
He's got to lead him on by the hand, like,
and sit him down at his piano.
So when he came off, I said, is he really blind?
He said, no.
I said, fuck it off.
Did you see, who was,
and who tested them on stage?
Was it Lady Gaga?
Waves for him?
Waved.
She waved at him from the stage.
And he's obviously stood there looking
and the person goes, oh, she's waving.
wave back. People are saying it was their test
and whether he'd go,
oh, man.
The commitment to the bit.
There's loads of rooms.
He kept checking his fucking watch.
Didn't he get in a lift?
By time, lover.
Isn't this force he's robbing in a lift?
And he like picks the number of something?
Yeah.
Yeah, there's loads of little instances where he
brings him.
Imagine living alive of 60 years.
There's loads of like anecdotal evidence.
people like just being like,
Stevey!
He's like,
all right, bro.
John,
like that it's like he knows.
Driving an Uber.
Right, Stevie?
Steve!
Put some music on drive.
I'll share you more again.
Shall we have a break by?
Let's have a break.
Mike, you are going out on tour,
doing a stand-up tour.
I know you're in Liverpool
on the 20th of September
at the Philharmonic.
Yes.
What's the,
tour, where's it going? What's it called?
Nice.
Based on the fact that I'm pretty much an ideas, man.
I don't finish a lot of stuff.
I've great ideas, but I'm not really a finisher.
You'd fit in well.
I think there's a lot of comics like that.
I think me and Mike might have to become best friends, you know.
I don't think you'd arrange anything.
No, we won't arrange it.
Idea, yeah, philemonic live post,
it's the first gig, and then I'm all over the UK then,
Wales and England and Scotland and Scotland.
You played the Philharmonic.
on up before? No, never. It looks amazing.
It looks amazing. I do love that.
My daughter really wants to go live in Liverpool. That's her plan.
She announced you that day. Dad, I'm going to move to Liverpool and I'm 16.
Is that right? Yeah.
I said, you're not doing that, by the way.
I am. I said, well, you're not. How is that going to work? I'll pay for it myself.
That's not going to work. I said when you're 18, you've got to go to Liverpool. It's fine.
She has been in school. It's all 18, though, isn't she?
16 in Wales.
Oh, is it still 16 in Wales? Yeah, you've got good. On the minds of 16.
you got
it is 16 in Wales
yeah it's 18
no
yeah
yes we can make more money
for the English overloads
keep it like
let's do a question
when she was little
when she was little
for Welsh stereotype reasons
right
there's a place
called Cairo Castle
very nice
done in West Wales
I recommend you visiting it
and there's a mill
like an old school
water mill
I used to make cotton
back in the day
right
I took the kids
there when they were little.
And my daughter almost lost her finger
in like a reconstruction of a cotton mill.
I said, imagine trying to tell my English mates
and my daughter lost,
my six-year-old daughter lost her finger
in a mill accident.
Seems right.
We've got a question.
Go on.
Layton says,
if you could add a zero to any number in your life,
where would you put the zero?
So like if you've got one thing and it becomes 10?
So you're 10 X.
whatever it is.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've got it.
I'll have two kids.
I'll have 20.
Oh,
I think that would be fucking mayhem.
Without any of the,
if you're going to have kids,
two's a great number.
Yeah.
20 would be colossal.
I love being a dad.
I love when kids are little.
I love being,
looking after him
and having fun with them
and being a child myself.
Yeah, but my wife had hell of time
with both at births,
you know.
She'd just bang on a little bit,
mind as well.
But that'd be, yeah,
20 kids.
20 kids would be great.
I've got a really good answer to this.
Go on, go on.
Add it to the amount of things I can add a zero to.
Oh, this is the...
Infinite wishes.
What would you ask?
What would you wish?
Infinite wishes.
I'm going for my tennis serve speed.
Right.
Or he'd be the champion?
Oh, he's getting back into tennis.
Let's just stop fuck around and put on my bank account.
End of my bank account.
Yeah, but doesn't change it a little...
Well, changes by a factor of 10.
Yeah.
It does change it a line.
Yeah, but I don't know what Finn's going to do with.
40 quiff.
Like, say it, say,
my serve now is about 80.
80, yeah.
Do you play tennis?
Is it?
I'm getting back into tennis.
80.
Yeah.
I've got a good serve.
So you want to say about 800 miles.
I think tennis is probably,
unless you're playing top level tennis,
I think tennis is the shittest game in the world.
Because you can't get a serve in.
And you've got to chase the ball.
No, you can't, Mike.
No, I'm not.
I did a fucking sports degree.
I would say 99.9% of the people I've,
I've ever met
in my life can't get a serving
unless you do underarm,
in which case, what's the point?
Yeah, but his underarm serve
is, I imagine, about 400 miles an hour.
So not only is he going to win
all the fucking grand slams,
he's going to kill a lot of ball boys on the way.
That's true, yeah, yeah, yeah.
800 miles an hour?
You'd win every title ever?
Yeah, exactly.
And then you don't need the bank account zeros
because you're making loads winning fucking the French open.
I think if you're serving the ball 800 miles,
you're breaking the sound barrier every single.
I think the big four are saying no thanks me
also though you'd have to win
you'd have to break them at some point
to win
oh yeah
I haven't thought about that bit
can I just keep winning
you have to break at least the point
it'd just be like the John is in the game
where it just goes on and on and on
good knowledge
yeah but like
he would never ever
ever ever lose a service game
and they would eventually get tired enough
yeah to lose one of their own
it's good point
it's good point
I've added to the square foot
of my garden.
Feels like a wasted opportunity.
Careful what you wish for.
You can add it.
You can add the zero to your weekly,
your monthly income,
but you've gone,
I just want a bigger garden.
I was like to really boring answer.
What about just the dimensions
of your house?
Does the garden?
No, because my garden is too small
for the size of my house
because we're extended
and we're looking at new houses
because I want a bigger garden.
But if I can have my house
in a bigger garden, it's win-win.
Can I ask a question?
Who wants a bigger garden?
You are the misses?
Me.
Well, that's all right then.
And I don't want it to do gardening.
We move for a bigger garden, right?
My wife won't have the bigger garden.
She doesn't do any of the gardener.
I do all the gardening.
But what'll happen is you're a young man, right?
I get a gardener.
No, you don't need one.
Because when you turn,
what old are you now?
34.
Right, 16 years time, you turn 50, God willing.
Right?
You'd be banging into gardening.
And you won't even know why you're into it.
You'll be fucking into gardening and you will love it.
And it's the weirdest, horriblest thing in the world.
Are you into it?
Massively into gardening.
I'll spend six hours day in the garden.
Just like digging holes,
isn't there?
Fucking planting flowers
looking after them,
feeding things,
putting up...
Obscising about the lawn.
Obsessing about the lawn?
I get it.
I know, I can feel that happening
at some point,
but not right now,
but I want a garden
just because I want a big...
I can't wait to do the lawn chat with you boys.
No one's there with me yet.
I just want one of you
to tip over and two.
I just want it to be...
I just want a son.
You can practice me overheads me.
Yeah, same.
I love it.
I don't know what the things I planted are called.
I buy him and I forget what they called.
I don't worry about that.
I don't worry about that.
and they're looking great.
So I did a little video last week,
so that's lovely, I don't know what it's called.
That's lovely, I thought what that's called.
This is a nice plant.
I have no idea what it's called.
Oh, yeah, but that's how I kill.
But going to being curious,
just picking which plants I'm buying
to kill at home, basically.
Because I plant them in the wrong place.
Laura's like, you've not checked the label
because some of them need to be in full sun and whatnot.
You're 40s.
How old are you?
I just want a lawn to be right.
How old are?
45.
There we are.
You're young for it.
It's like, I can't explain it.
Thank you, Mike.
You'll turn 50.
And he'll just know what to do.
It just happens.
Yeah?
Yeah, there'd be no going back.
A lot more pissing my car keys,
but the garden will be amazing.
Oh, my car keys.
Not my car keys.
Honestly, I think you're pissed on your car keys.
That's part of middle age.
You piss on your car keys.
So you're 10X and your kids.
Your 10X and your 10 is served.
No, I'm, in all seriousness,
10x in the amount of times I get sex a month.
Oh, 10.
Okay.
10 times zero.
It's 10.
No, I always get one in.
Okay. Do you?
Yeah, yeah.
I'd go with my
handsomeness score.
Yeah.
Let's say most women see me as an eight or a nine.
80 out of 10?
Yeah.
Like, come on.
You're walking on the street
and every single woman's just frotting.
Look at that 80?
Yeah.
You'd be like anything you want.
People don't, people talk about male privilege.
You talk about white privilege.
No one talks about beautiful privilege
It's the biggest one.
It's the biggest one.
I'm the only 80 out of 10.
The limit for everyone else is a 10.
I'm an 80.
Even if you think I'm ugly,
I'm a 4 am I?
Well, I'm a 40 now.
But everyone's going to find,
nearly every woman's going to fancy it.
Is this changing your...
But 10 X-Ex and a lot of books?
Is it changing your face
or is it changing what a woman would find attractive?
Because he doesn't think you are an 80 out of 10.
How much should be changing here?
I mean, I don't know.
how it works, mate.
I'm just answering the question.
It's just going to be like a fucking links advert
every time advert that Adam leaves the house.
They're going to be running from the hills.
My girlfriend, my wife now, but when she's my girlfriend,
she's an attractive, very attractive woman, right?
But I get, I get all the time,
I'm fucking on your punching.
I'm like, fuck off, mate.
Were you meant to be punching, though?
No, but how am I punching?
She's a very attractive woman, but I'm an attractive man.
And girls always say, what do you want?
A good sense of humor.
Like, tick, right?
Six foot, tick.
Yeah.
I'm my own boss.
I'm a great dancer.
I'm a good dad.
I'm a fucking great cuddler.
I'm good in the sack.
I'm fucking,
what's your?
How am I punching?
Mike, out of ten,
what would you give yourself
on the handsomeness?
Handsomeness these days
probably an eight, right?
I'm serious.
You two need to stay away from each other.
Never mind, hang out.
I said back in the day,
I was a high nine.
When I do that scale,
like one of the most beautiful,
like David Gandy, do you know where he is?
Fuck David Gandy.
But he's a 10, isn't he?
It's not a 10.
Yeah, Gandhi was a...
Even than Gandy.
Gandhi was a 9. He always had his toes out.
But if he's 10, are you 8?
I'm not saying you're not.
No, not Gandhi.
Not Gandhi. Not Gandhi.
I know fucking David Gandy. I'm the same person.
I don't think fucking David Gandy went on an assault match
to a fucking oppose British Imperial rule.
I know Gandy is.
Oh, you know, C. H.
Yeah, Gandhi was a 7.
So, okay.
David Gandy's not a 10 is what I'm saying.
saying. Who's a 10 for you in the man?
Austin Butler towards the end of the
Tom Selleck in it? Yeah, close.
Very, very close.
As in like, it's like
Prime Tom Selleck is right up there.
I think that might be the best looking man of all time.
Prime Tom Selleck.
When he's dead tall with his muzzy.
He's a man in he.
What about once upon a time with Hollywood era
Brad Pitt?
I think Brad Pitt is the guy.
No, that is.
He was on the roof of his top off.
Yeah.
Fucking now. That's a 10. That is.
Not even Fight Club Brad Pitt, no?
No, no. Too skinny for me on that.
plus one of the time in Hollywood
he had some nice threads on
I got a similar jacket
one of my favourite films ever
That's a fantastic film
I adore it yeah
And he's in his own thing coming out
He's one of those blokes
As a straight man
That if you were offered it on a plate
With Brad Pitt
Yeah
You'd have to think
You know you'd have to give it a go
Yeah just to say
And my wife would even say
You know I don't blame you
Don't fucking blame you
Exactly
Joe's own thing coming out
What's his name
The adventure
Clint Boone
Cliff Booth
Cliff Booth
Oh about the stuntman
from the spiral carpets.
About blood pit's
Carlin,
well, because he,
the real Cliff Booth,
because I think the fight
with Bruce Lee
was a real thing,
wasn't he so, yeah.
Because he's a fucking,
he's a shister,
or Bruce,
he got all time for him.
Yeah.
But no time for Bruce Lee.
Oh, fuck you.
Yeah.
Stefan picked once,
that B-water documentary
as,
as it was like the doc
of the week,
and there's Stefan and L
were just wanking over
over how great Bruce Lee is.
I just fucking Bruce Lee.
You know,
oh,
it's great,
great smash,
I was all the time.
I said,
you know,
He didn't have been able to fight.
He never had one fight.
If you want to get some serious abuse online,
slag out Bruce Lee online, see what happens to you.
He got his own martial art, though, hasn't he?
Well, fucking acting.
No, he's in J-cundo, isn't he?
Well, I can invite my own martial arts.
What's it called, Mike?
What's it called, Mike?
A kicky punchy.
Right, and I'm the fucking best in the world today.
He's a black.
He's a mother.
And so he never lost a fight.
He said, actually, he was in the script.
I said, the only time he's going to lose a fight,
if the script did ever say,
Bruce Lee loses this fight.
Then he loses the fight.
So, like, Chuck Norris, is that the same?
He looks, I think he's, I think he's the real deal, Chuck Morris.
He's dead. He's dead a few weeks ago.
I'm not saying he's not dead. I'm just saying he was the real deal as a fighter.
Who was the real deal?
He's being good at MMA. It doesn't make you immortal.
Bruce Lee's dead? I've been dead for years.
Yeah, but Chuck Morris was a proper hard man.
Yeah.
Bruce Lee was a good actor.
So who out of, like, the expendables is a proper hard man and who's a Charlton?
Mickey Roe?
Mickey Roe?
Yeah, he did a bit of the box in the 80s.
He's kind of mad air,
though.
They're a bit in the 80s,
didn't he?
Statham.
Statham's a diver,
let's be honest.
Schwarzeninger.
Yeah,
strong.
He,
what,
he was...
He's strong.
If he gets you in a bear hug,
you're struggling.
Not now.
I think I can probably
punch Teddy Cruz as I didn't.
I think he's like...
You all right.
I think he's all meat.
Well,
the lineback of Trey Cruz.
Yeah,
but like the guy
who, from Brooklyn 9-9.
Yeah.
He's a giant.
I don't know,
the guy that's...
Rips a fuck at 60.
Yeah.
There was a linebacker.
I think it's all, it's all list in it.
He's not doing much of this.
Shadden Shar,
he can punch his other.
He's old.
Is that the same for the Rock then?
Is he all that?
No, the Rock could wrestle.
He fought for a fake living, didn't he?
Someone like...
Is this your turn?
Sam Elliott.
No, thinking about hard guys on stage.
Okay.
Is this Sam Elliott?
Who's the guy in Roadhouse?
The original roadhouse?
The original one.
Swayzy, but with Sam Elliott, wasn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have you seen the new one?
I don't want to watch.
I can't stand remakes.
Don't watch the new one.
It's hilarious.
Conner McGregor in that.
What are you doing?
He's that bad.
It makes the film great.
Is Connor McGregor in it?
He's the, he's the,
he's the,
he's Sam Elliott.
Is it out?
Yeah, it's on Amazon Prime.
I can't watch that tonight.
Let's do some have-a-words.
I believe our guest,
Mr. Mike Bubbins has his own have-a-word.
Mike, we've asked you for a have a word.
Have you brought one up from Barry Island?
Thought I won.
I thought of one on the way up on the train.
Just, I've got to get in shape.
We start filming in about six, seven weeks.
You know, 14 hour days.
I can't be as unfit as I was the last time.
This is season three about to start filming?
Yeah.
Class.
So we,
I was always in good Nick until I got to like mid-40s,
then it all went down now.
I'm in hell of a bad state now.
So last series I was in probably the worst shape of my life.
The heaviest I've ever been was in the swimming.
pool scene in the second series of mammoth when I got speed I was on but they put in the trailer
when even my wife laughs when she sees it which is really crushing yeah because you used to be a high
nine I was high nine I was a high nine uh who's portion cell so I'm trying to get fit again but the only
fit in at the moment is to go early right so we've been getting about like five o'clock and then to get my
steps and I walk to the gym train walk back so I'm home by seven o'clock I've done my 10,000 steps and
my workout right but that's only for necessity right my have a word would be those fucking
assholes, right, who think
because they get up early,
it makes them somehow better than the rest of us.
I don't want to be that, right?
When you see these dick, say,
who's the guy, who's the fucking fella?
Mark Wahlberg.
Mark Wahlberg.
Case in point, like, I get him at 3.40 the morning.
I pray for 20 minutes, and then I have some,
then I do this, and I go to the fucking gym.
Fuck off, mate. If you're getting up early,
all it means is you're going
to bed early.
And there's nothing on tell you in the morning.
Right? So you're going to bed
a fucking seven o'clock at night, you miss all the good TV
to get up a three o'clock of the morning when there's fuck all on.
Right?
And you need an afternoon nap at 10 in the morning.
It's a fucking nightmare. You still have a seven hours
sleep, man. You've just shifted it forward. You're not a fucking
superhuman because you get up a four o'clock because you can
fucking bed before your kids. And you've lost prime
time. Like, the best time
of the day is seven onwards.
Mark Wobbe never watched match of the day.
Maybe the more than one. He's never seen the goal
of the month competition ever.
It's disgusting. You're watching fucking Gardner's weekly while I'm
watching fucking Cojack. You know what I mean?
He's watching Holyo
with the sign language on?
Exactly, exactly, yeah.
I'm watching the proper professionals.
You're watching the one with the bloke on the side and all the stuff.
I do hate people who think the best on you because they get up early.
So now I do it now.
I did a little video yesterday because I was going to the gym.
I said, listen, I don't want to be one of those wankers.
I'm just saying this what I'm doing.
And I'm doing over seven weeks because I don't need to fit it in.
But after that, I'll just go back to being a normal person.
Busy at the gym that early because that's, if you've got a 24-hour gym.
It is fucking five o'clock club wankers.
Yeah.
No, that's like a thing now, I'm in the 5 o'clock club, mate.
What fucking big dog's dick?
Well done.
You're going to bed at the early club, mate.
It's where you're in.
You fucking weird.
Yeah, what's peak?
What's the best going to bed?
No, what time do you wake up if you're not on set?
Like, what's your way up?
What's your routine?
What's my pubbing's routine when he's got no commitments?
Nothing?
It'd be watching telly till midnight.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then getting up about 7 o'clock.
Okay.
Seven hours sleep, happy.
A twice early.
Yeah, but I've always been in early.
I've always got up early.
Because you better than other people.
Of course, I'm better than people.
No, because my fucking old man, never let me have...
My old man was, like, that generation
who thought that having a lie in was, like,
the worst thing you could possibly do as a kid.
My dad used to be like that.
Come on, get up, come on, get up.
Oh, fuck off, it's Saturday.
My dad had wake me up when he knew I was hung over
and had nothing to do, just because he'd be like,
it's fucking 10 o'clock, you shouldn't still be in bed.
It's like...
Well, I got that at 7 a.m.
Yeah.
When I was a kid, like, 13, 14, 14 years of age,
your old man, I'd wake me up at 7 o'clock
on a Saturday morning,
because I had rugby on a Saturday later on in a day
to go down to the butchers
and the greengrocers with him to go and do the shopping
and meet like his mates
you know like his mate the butcher and his mate
the fucking greengrocer, say like that.
7.30 in the morning, 14 years of age.
Why?
Teenagers actually do need to sleep more as well.
Like...
Go and stop my dad that.
I'll give you his number.
I can't wait for my kids to get older
because they're still doing the early, early wake-ups.
I can't wait till they're fucking sleeping until midday.
Yeah.
Good. Freedom.
Lovely.
my kids should have a line until nine
what time has jack got up now
6.30
I'm enjoying having to get up at the minute
so now I'm getting up between
seven and eight
lovely that's a good time
like even when normally when we're in here for 10
I would get up at nine
leave it off nine
be at sometimes on time
sometimes five minutes late
it is what it is he's a dog dad now though
but like now dog goes to bed
between 10 and 11 we wake him up
between seven and eight in the morning.
That's the start of the day.
And I'm enjoying just getting ahead of my day.
So I'm doing with five because I have to.
If you're going to have a word of somebody for me,
it would be the, it would be,
to give yourself that name, that five o'clock club.
Yeah.
They're up there with fucking tough mudders,
high roxers.
He's done soft mother.
I'm sure he has.
Listen, I did soft mother for,
why did we did it?
Can I remember why we did it?
We.
So we did it as a workplace.
I hate the people who did it.
I was shit,
that's all right?
Oh, that's perfect
It was a fun day
It was stupid
But I was like,
well,
let's get it
I was like,
Oh, let's...
Highrox must have something
though,
because when people get into it
they are fucking obsessed
I don't want to even
dabble
just in case
I become one of those
bell ends
But it must be doing something
because
What's the other one
I'm thinking of?
It is taking over.
What's the one?
Highrox is the one right now
I run half marathons me
is one
That's my thing.
Yeah, my wife did one of them.
He books a lot in.
Adam did one of them as well.
Well, that's enough, in it?
Yeah.
You've done it, though.
That's more.
I can never do that.
But he has book two.
Three,
in four.
Yeah.
No, people say to you,
I say that.
One in four?
Book for the marathon runner you want to be.
I could never do a half marathon, right?
Obviously, I could do one.
No,
I could not.
I just don't want to do one.
Yeah.
I was talking to Steph about this in the pod,
and I said,
just get out of Saudi comfort zone.
I said,
if I like my comfort zone.
It's taking me 50 years
to get in my comfort zone.
I don't want to fucking zone.
leave it now. Google comfort.
That's what I want.
It's a great zone to be.
That's what life is trying to do.
You're trying to get...
You're trying to air across to get comfortable and get happy.
Where were those times when I was 40 and skin saying,
get in your comfort zone? Get in your comfort zone.
Get in your comfort zone. Get out of your comfort zone. Fuck you.
We've got one from
the listeners. Phil says, can you have a word with the mom of a girl that I sat in front of
in the theatre watching Mama Mia?
the kid the kid sang every fucking word of every song
the top of her voice so I spent well over
150 quid on two tickets to have a child shouts sing
to the back of my head and fucking ruin it
I get it you like the show but then watch it
and tell your kid to shut up and watch it as well
I think once especially a show like Mamma Mia
which is all about the Abba songs
and the songs are so famous and everyone who goes
like if you're going to see Mamma Mia now
I don't think you're going on
I wonder what they're going
People are going for the nostalgia and the law and the everything else of it.
And I think you have to just accept.
People are going to sing along.
I don't know.
What the, what the...
I think it's out of order.
To me, cinema etiquette is shut the fuck off.
The cinema?
It's a theatre.
Oh, is it a theatre?
Like a musical?
Oh, well, we ever wrote this into a cock.
You don't go to sing the musical back to them.
No, but when you're in the theatre, it's a bit more than...
You know every single word to Hamilton, yeah?
Yeah.
You don't sing it, though.
do you?
He wishes he could.
You do it in your head?
If I had the choice
between going to one where you are allowed
to do that and one where you're not,
I would choose the one where you're...
But you're not social paths, you don't.
Yeah.
If other people did it, you'd join in.
It'd have to be about 20...
If 20% of the audience did they're joining.
Yeah.
Also, Hamilton is not as...
I think Mamma Mia is much more mainstream
and everyone knows the songs.
Like, the songs, Abba songs,
from...
Before Mamma Mia.
Yes,
like, Hamilton is a story
told through songs.
Mamma Mia is Abba songs
with a couple of,
and I'm going,
says going,
shag him in a minute,
in the middle,
in it?
Pierce Blasmane,
he looks at me,
car.
I just think
the attica for everyone's
got out of the window.
With a through line.
Yeah.
Hamilton is a story
told through song.
If you're a comic
and there was people
and they'd seen you before
and they were repeating your stuff
really loudly,
getting the punch lines
before you got to him, you think,
shut up, mate.
You know, you were at a comedy gig.
Same thing you've had a live show,
theater show.
Shut up, watch a show.
But also, if you're singing,
well, the Beatles, right?
You love the Beatles.
Yeah.
They start performing live,
obviously the Shea Stadium thing
and all that.
But also, if you listen to them talking about it,
when everyone is screaming their fucking ends off
at a gig,
you're supposed to be performing a gig.
Do you know what I mean?
I saw the Gallagher brothers
watching a video of the Beatles playing live
and they were like,
the fucking screamers, man.
Oh, it was just,
it was the thing, wasn't it,
that teenage girls went and
screamed at them.
Yeah.
That'd be such a nightmare if you were an adult Beatles fan and you'd save up.
I like to watch.
There are screenings of films where it's a sing-along thing, isn't it?
Yeah.
They put that in the fucking class.
That's a great idea.
Loads of fun.
But if it's one 10-year-old,
battering the back of your head.
I just think of the theatre as well, because it's live.
You're there for the people that have worked their ass off to go through
theatre school or whatever and they've got it singing.
130 quid as well down the train.
Should have shouted at the, would you shout at the,
would you shout at the mum?
or the kid.
In this situation, I think it's the mum,
because the girl doesn't know any better.
But you just go, hey, shush.
Someone's, everyone's watching it.
If you can't do that anymore,
so when people know your face,
even if it's just a few people
know your face.
And social media exists.
I know, you can't bolog her 10 year old girl.
I can't do that now.
No.
Yeah, I love.
No, but the mum should have done it.
And that's what you're saying.
Yeah, yeah.
If I'd have done that when I was a kid,
I was a precocious kid,
I understand the idea of being a show off
and that,
My mum would have fucking balk me.
By the way, if I was this guy,
because I know I sort of went against this guy,
but if I was this guy and that's the only cunt singing,
then I'd be like, hey, can you have a word about your daughter?
I'm just assuming everyone's getting a bit involved here.
Maybe I'm making a false assumption there.
I assume a Mamma Mia show.
There's quite a bit of singy songy longies.
Is that what happened?
Singy songy longies.
If you want to do that, go watch Abba Voyage.
That's what I say.
That's what I always say.
I think sing all the Abba sock.
Just turn around in your seat
and shout, sing it back to her.
Mama me!
You didn't really just fucking let her know.
Do you know they're looking to do a Beatles, Abba Voyage?
All the song.
Do you know about this?
You know what Abba Voyage is?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So apparently the people who own the technology
went to the Beatles and were like,
do you want us to do one of these for the Beatles
and the people who own the Beatles estate?
It's Abba own half the technology.
So the people that run the technology
went to the Beatles and they went,
well, we'll just do it ourselves actually.
Yeah.
The elves has gone, hasn't he?
Hasn't he got a live, something in London?
I went to see him in, yeah, there's something like that.
I went to see the one before when it was just him on the big screen
with his original band, when all his band was still alive.
But that was 20 years ago.
All those boys are dead now.
Tupac was first.
Did it at Coachella, like 15 years ago, didn't he?
He was still alive, haven't he?
That was just live, that was just him, won't it?
Yeah.
It's just grown since dying.
Was it a bigger version of him?
Yeah, it was a big evasion than Tupac?
Yeah, I don't think it was a five,
foot, 11, two, two, I think they're bigger, aren't they?
No, I think it was like a proper size.
No, it was a life size.
It just looks like that.
Amba Voyage just looks like them?
The right size.
It's unbelievable though.
How big was two pack?
It was like eight foot.
The image will definitely be got a confabulated memory.
I'm memory.
No, it's the right height.
Yeah, two pack is, yeah, sorry, I've got a memory of it being.
I think they're too tall.
Seven foot BG two pack.
Too tall.
That's how you.
Go see him on tour.
The 8 foot two-pack tribute.
Mike, it's been as well.
An absolute pleasure having you.
Good luck with the tour.
Good luck with season three of Mammoth.
Go and watch it if you haven't already.
Where is it?
Where do you watch it?
What's the...
So, all I play and then I'll be out on BBC,
either one or two, it depends after Christmas.
Plus.

And have we got a song to play us out this week?
Yes.
This is Billy and the Finger Puppets
with their song, Jam.
I hope everyone doesn't mind,
but I've actually made a music video
for Beautiful Morning this week
from the Killy special.
So it's some footage from the Kilimanjaro special.
It's been white listed, hasn't it?
So if there's others on the episode, it's Fins for it.
Again.
It'll be the trailer, actually.
Mine's being cleared.
But yeah, it's beautiful morning.
The link's in the description.

I think it's a really
great song though
