Starting point is 00:10:34 I was like I wish this was air poom poom juice there's gotta be something to do with a dipstick do you think we could get sued by Kevin Webster
Starting point is 00:10:41 no because he's fictional that's true but he's fictional. That's true. But he's not, is he? That'd be a sick horror story line that Kevin Webster sues, have a word.
Starting point is 00:10:50 If he comes on, I want him to do it in character. Yeah. If he comes on, I want him to come in for approximately 14 seconds. I want him to look down
Starting point is 00:10:57 that camera and go, hey, listen up everyone, it's me, Kevin Webster. And then go. That's all we need. And then I'll just fall asleep gently. Yeah, we're not going to get sued
Starting point is 00:11:05 by the fictional mechanic from Coronation Street. And I don't think Michael Lavelle, the actor, really cares. Oh, all right. Michael Lavelle? He is the spitting image of my vagina. Are you Equity? Fucking knowing everyone's name. Oh, I'm sorry,
Starting point is 00:11:18 because I know one actor's name from Corrie. I don't know Ken Barlow's name. Well, there's a thespian. I'm surprised. William Roach? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, it's a famous one yeah
Starting point is 00:11:25 Hayley Julia Herman-Skaligov her second name's Mad wow good effort good effort though it's Julie Herman you sounded like an
Starting point is 00:11:36 alcoholic compere at a gig where you're in open spot Julia Skaligov blah blah blah I don't think soap operas get the credit they deserve
Starting point is 00:11:43 I think they get more than they deserve. But the longevity of them. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? They've been going for 60 years. We know from experience how hard it is to do six podcasts a week. Do you know what I mean? It's hard.
Starting point is 00:11:57 They do four or five episodes a week for 60 years. It's not seasons. It's still there. You know like Breaking Bad? Yeah, it's very good good but would it be better than Corrie if they had to do it constantly
Starting point is 00:12:09 that would be a real fucking stretch for both the actors and writers wasn't it year 60 of Breaking Bad exactly though
Starting point is 00:12:17 EastEnders did that didn't they what in the lockdown when they came back after the lockdown they said this is EastEnders
Starting point is 00:12:22 series 2 but they only did that as like a PR. Yeah, but it was funny, wasn't it? Yeah, and it worked. It worked really well. But they've done it forever and ever and ever. And what you're saying is it'd be hard for Breaking Bad?
Starting point is 00:12:33 You're not giving Corrie's writers the credits that they deserve? Yeah, but if I think something is dog shit, just because it's been dog shit for 60 years, if anything, it makes it more annoying, doesn't it? Like, I just can't be doing with it. what I do always think with those things. Stories that never end
Starting point is 00:12:49 on people that never go to Ikea. Who's moving to Coronation Street? Like, someone dies in a fire every six months. Do you know what I mean? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:12:57 yeah, yeah. Like, the crime statistics on that street must be like the highest in the whole of the country. No one's ever got mates
Starting point is 00:13:02 from uni that come and stay. Always the same fucking knuckles. You're all living the pub. Got no washing machines. Did you know that? Yeah. They've really struggled with washing machines. There's no Comet or whatever they sell.
Starting point is 00:13:16 No Comet? Comet, yeah. That's quite realistic, that, because they haven't been there. They went with Dixons in 2006, didn't they, then? Something where you buy washing machines. There's no Woolworths. You can't get the little cans or the pick and mixes. Dan tried to find somewhere where it sells washing machines.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Comet. Quack, quack. No, it's just, I can't. I find it very annoying, and the fact that it's there all the time and has been there forever doesn't win me over. Like, cancer's been around ages. I'm not like, you've got to give it to cancer.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Still fucking knocking them off. I don't think they're comparable. I don't think the longevity of Coronation Street can be compared with the worst disease in the history of the human race. I really don't think they're... Putting the numbers up for a long time. Emmerdale's definitely comparable.
Starting point is 00:14:00 You reckon? Yeah, to cancer. Why? Because it's fucking awful. Why is it shit? I don't think he's being unfair. So, what, do you watch any of them? No.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Okay. So this is going quite well. Coming out of the fucking Rona Malarkey, things, you know, are hopefully going to pick up where they were. You were doing well. TV, career's doing good. Got a tour hopefully coming up. But then Corey coming and go
Starting point is 00:14:25 we like Adam we want a young Scouse character or even EastEnders now let's keep it to Corrie because let's keep it local you could do the drive over to Granada
Starting point is 00:14:34 there's probably more Scouses that live in London though than in Manchester so it's probably more likely more realistic for me to be a character in EastEnders
Starting point is 00:14:43 than Corrie maybe alright we're in the weeds but pick the one that be a character in EastEnders than Coddy maybe. Alright we're in the weeds but pick the one that you find least offensive. EastEnders. How much are they having to pay you to be a full time
Starting point is 00:14:56 member of the cast on EastEnders you're saying it's fucking great it's a full time job. How much is Sadio Mane on? Just google that. 200 grand a week. 140. Google that. 200 grand a week. 140. 200 grand a week-ish. So you want 200 grand a week?
Starting point is 00:15:09 I'd be working harder than Mane does at Liverpool. What do they get on the soap operas? Do they get about 130, 140 grand a year? A year? Yeah. Mane's on 150 a week. There we go. That's what I want.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Yeah, 150 grand a week. I've got fucking 19,000 Instagram followers well that's it does that equate to yeah what would your what would your character be just me
Starting point is 00:15:32 just Adam Rowe in the square just play me self what play me self in EastEnders because then Adam we really want you
Starting point is 00:15:40 to be involved in EastEnders how do you see yourself in a role I'd like to be Adam Rowe the comedian. Why not, though?
Starting point is 00:15:46 Where have you been, Adam? Been to a fucking gig. But, as you know, I've got a problem with authority, right? So if the director's like, Court, court, court! You wouldn't fucking say it like that. Be like, listen, you fucking gimp. I know myself better than anyone.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Fuck out the way. I know exactly how I'd say it. On your bike, kid. Don't need a director for this scene go and do the next one what does Adam Rock do you set up a gig at like
Starting point is 00:16:08 do you set up a gig at the Queen Vic yeah every Sunday that'd be so shit new material nice at the Queen Vic oh fucking hell
Starting point is 00:16:18 yeah it's happening Bradley lad there's probably never been a stand up in soaps so that's not even a bad shot though exactly Peter Kay's been in Coronation Street he wasn't Peter Kay was he there's never been a stand up in soaps so that's not even a bad shot exactly Peter Kay's been in
Starting point is 00:16:25 Coronation Street he wasn't Peter Kay was he there's never been a stand up character they never want stand up characters in anything though
Starting point is 00:16:32 really do they exactly this is the opening Seinfeld sort of did it so well and then almost ended the fucking
Starting point is 00:16:40 and Louis did it as well yeah but he had to basically be one of the best comedians in history and then get FX, which is a lesser-known TV station and studio, to give him total control. And he edited that on his fucking Apple Mac, didn't he?
Starting point is 00:16:58 He literally edited the whole thing. Did he, yeah? Yeah, he had total control. Did I tell you? I worked as a consultant on a programme that was going to be made for Sky One about a stand-up comedian from Liverpool. It was going to be a drama. I'm not talking about this.
Starting point is 00:17:16 How have you never told me this? So I was... And how were you not in the running for the gig? I was. So this was about two years ago, maybe. No, probably a bit more, because I think I was still living with my dad, maybe three, three and a half years ago.
Starting point is 00:17:30 That's the weirdest thing. I was still living with my dad, but I was working as a consultant for Sky One. So I didn't get paid, but I got a phone call one night. I was in bed. It was about half one in the morning. Do you remember Arlo, the doorman? Arlo Bailey? Yeah. So Arloiley yeah so arlo's a i'm gonna bleep that shout out no it's fine he's a
Starting point is 00:17:50 good lad yeah he was a doorman on envy the nightclub that i used to work him and i got my phone goes and i had his number but i'd never spoken to him away from work and it rings at half one in the morning i was like i'd be a pocket dial so i answered it and he went what i told him like how's it going and i was like sound all. And he went, what did I tell them, Lord? How's it going? And I was like, Sandalo, how are you? He went, listen, this Australian fella here needs a Liverpool comedian. Can I just put you on the phone to him? And I went, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:13 So I speak to this guy and he's Australian. He's like, I'm in Liverpool. I could do with talking to a local comedian who knows the scene. Are you free tomorrow for a drink? And I was like, yeah, sound. So I went and met him his name was michael thomas australian writer um and he took me to a few pubs around i've been he told
Starting point is 00:18:31 me he was writing this thing for sky one it had been commissioned um i went to buy a round at one point he was like none of this money is mine it's all coming from sky i'm paying for everything love the expenses so i met him in Liverpool, ended up, he came to a gig of mine at the Comedy Cafe in London. Johnny Schumacher came down with me that night, he met Johnny,
Starting point is 00:18:51 he liked Johnny, because Johnny's an actor as well, and he was like, he'd be fucking great for this role that I'm writing. And essentially, it was about, because Liverpool's got a huge Chinese community,
Starting point is 00:19:01 right, as in, lots of Chinese people, not big Chinese people, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, got a huge chinese community right as in lots of chinese people not big chinese people he fucking hell champ what do you mean you don't want to play basketball so yeah yeah he was writing this thing about there was a scouse family and they were having beef with the triads right
Starting point is 00:19:25 I'm not messing the Scouse family were having beef with the triads the main character was a stand up comedian from Liverpool who would just
Starting point is 00:19:35 come back from America because he tried to make it in America but he'd essentially fucked up his career and he was coming back and he was going to start
Starting point is 00:19:43 being a comedian in the UK again and he was Chinese heritage no no no he was coming back and he was going to start being a comedian in the UK again. And he was Chinese heritage. No, no, no. He was Scouse but his family had a link
Starting point is 00:19:51 with the Chinese triads of Liverpool. Right? But they weren't Chinese. No. But like, I think like... Do a lot of like Scouse families
Starting point is 00:19:57 get wrapped up in triad BA? But where's Paulie? I don't know, mate. She's been missing for two fucking weeks. And I either try William Hill what the fuck
Starting point is 00:20:09 Triad I think like his ex-girlfriend was a Triad fucking hell mate and this didn't get made with the absolute
Starting point is 00:20:21 fucking right okay we're gonna have an Irish like a Scouse family and then there's that needs to be more of a link don't it yeah absolute fucking right okay we're gonna have an Iron Man like a Scouts family and then there's
Starting point is 00:20:27 that needs to be more of a link don't it yeah I love it so I think his ex-girlfriend was a triad or something I can't remember
Starting point is 00:20:36 nightmare dumping that bitch but like he wanted so the way he wanted it to be was in a lot of the episodes
Starting point is 00:20:44 you would see bits of stand-up because the guy would be on stage talking... Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. Hey, what about fucking triads? Who here has tried to dump a fucking triad? It's a fucking lie, ladies. And I'm not talking about triads.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. I said to me, Mrs. I hate triads. She went, what the fuck are you saying, lad? So, he was like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:21:15 I wanted to also in cap, because he was, he loved comedy and he was like, I've always wondered how comedians get to where they are and like the lower levels of the circuit.
Starting point is 00:21:23 He was like, so I'd like it to be about this Scouse family, the triads, but also they are and the lower levels of the circuit. He was like, so I'd like it to be about this Scouse family, the triads, but also the inner workings of the UK comedy circuit. It's like, I want to see. Because I was like, yeah. Because he was asking me, what are the problems with the circuit? And I was like, you know, sometimes a promoter won't pay you on time
Starting point is 00:21:39 and he's writing this down. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, so you could have one time you could send the triads to a comedy club to get your money and stuff, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, so you could have like one time you could send like the triads to a comedy club to get your money in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good idea. It's almost like someone's gone, let's make the Sopranos.
Starting point is 00:21:54 But I really, I'm into beach volleyball as well. I really think we could, like the New Jersey Mafia, but also like one of the girlfriends could be like an Olympic beach volleyball player. What do you think? And they could be playing beach volleyball and they're all like, what are you doing here fucking spike the ball come on barbara what the fuck two cards what the fuck what an amazing bit could you imagine the scene when they get someone to play the fucking promoter and we know some of the comedy promoters are like,
Starting point is 00:22:25 oh, well, this is my gig and I'll compare it as well. And you have to cast that guy and then literally write the scene where a fucking Scouse comedian turns up with loads of triad back on. Bobby Maddox. Sorry, lad, it's two weeks back to follow. I don't think it is.
Starting point is 00:22:47 I think you're going To pay cash tonight Where you from I'm a trier But I sound Weirdly Mexican Oh my god I'd love to see this For all the wrong reasons
Starting point is 00:23:03 You're saying You didn't get the part. Bullet fucking dodge. He said I would have got an audition. But like in his head, because this was like, I think. So you're looking like maybe four years ago, maybe. If I was 24, he was like in my head. The main character's like early 30s.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Yeah. So it might not be you. But you know, we'll get you in it in another way yeah as a child what went wrong so he was
Starting point is 00:23:33 he was looking to get me in another way and then he he asked me like would I be interested in writing the stand up do you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:23:40 so for the guy he'd cast an actor but I'd write the stand up for the guy because he wanted episode an actor, but I'd write the stand-up for the guy because he wanted episode three because it was going to be on Sky 1. So you get 44 minutes of screen time because you get 11 minutes.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Then you have an ad break, and then another 11, and then another 11, and then another 11, for the hour. And he wanted episode three to open with just 11 minutes of stand-up to recap the first two episodes. So he wanted the guys to be on stage
Starting point is 00:24:18 with stand-up and written. I mean, like, yeah, so I was, I was broken in this deal between me ex-girlfriend and fucking Pablo Escobar last week. Yeah, so. was broken in this deal between my ex-girlfriend and fucking Pablo Escobar last week. Yeah. Adam, can you try and get a few more triad things?
Starting point is 00:24:37 It's so amazingly shit. I want someone to make it. They commissioned the pilot so you're laughing at this but like he'd got the commission from Sky One
Starting point is 00:24:52 because he'd been given a budget to come to Liverpool and research it all he was like it's a fucking Rupert Murdoch's money mate
Starting point is 00:25:01 the fucking rounds are on me yeah and then I took him to Brown's Shoreditch with Johnny Schumacher. I got bevvied there. I don't know whether I... I think maybe I forgot to text him back.
Starting point is 00:25:13 I wonder why. Maybe that's why it never got made. He was waiting for me to write 11 minutes of stand-up about the... Do you reckon there are triads in Liverpool? Yeah. Is it Chinatown?
Starting point is 00:25:24 I know there's a Chinatown yeah Definitely I wasn't ready to laugh that much That was a slow build Of the most ridiculous Amazing Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:25:41 Triads Yeah so Triads is the Chinese mafia. Am I wrong? The Chinese gang, yeah, yeah, mafia, yeah. Are they just Chinese, or do they, like... No, they're just Chinese. Are they a bit more divot?
Starting point is 00:25:52 Because 2020, are they letting other people in? Are they just Chinese? Yeah, I don't think the triads are like, listen, guys, we need at least one disabled lesbian. This is not very inclusive. He's Chinese. He's Chinese. He's Chinese. He's Chinese. this is not very inclusive he's chinese he's chinese he's chinese he's chinese i'm chinese it's starting to look bad we're turning up to killing someone and they're like bloody hell guys at least try and fill a quote
Starting point is 00:26:20 i don't mind being killed. But not by all Chinese guys. If you are growing up as a black dwarf in Liverpool, you should be able to believe that being a triad is a possibility for you one day. Imagine the black dwarf turning up with a triad. Get him, John. Get him! Get him, John. Get him!
Starting point is 00:26:48 I am here because you raped me, though. Lads, be honest. I am a good triad, aren't I? Lads! Lads! I'm not just here filling a quota, am I? Cheers, guys. Yeah, they're just Chinese.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Japan's the Yakuza isn't it Oh here he goes He's been waiting to see that Fucking with his ASMR I saw them If you dishonour the code of the Yakuza They chop your fingers off I used to see them on the beach What?
Starting point is 00:27:16 I used to see the Yakuza on the beach Because they've all got Fingers Just everywhere What you saw the Japanese Mafia On the beach Yeah so tattoos are Pretty much prohibited in Japan Because of the Yakuza And they have like So they have mafia on the beach. Yeah, so tattoos are pretty much prohibitive in Japan
Starting point is 00:27:25 because of the Yakuza. And they have like, so they have tattoos on the chest and the back, but they have the middle bit, do you know where your buttons go? Clear. So they can wear a shirt. So they can wear a shirt open.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Because they're the Yakuza and no one's going to be like, looks a bit noncy, mate. Yeah. So you can see them, they've just got a line to the middle of the belly and the chest and tattoos everywhere. And they used to be on
Starting point is 00:27:45 I used to go to a beach it was like a Brazilian beach lots of Brazilians there not many Japanese so they used to go there I used to see them all there's a lot of Brazilians in Japan
Starting point is 00:27:54 huge Brazilian yeah hot I used to go to a beach and it was 90% Brazilians and then 90% it was 9
Starting point is 00:28:02 in every 10 people it was 90% Brazilian about fucking 9.9% Yakuza. And then one Scouser. Sorry, lads. No, no, I'm not Yakuza. I got this in Benidorm 2007. It says, I love me, man.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Fucking hell, lads. Yeah, it was like 5% expats and then 5% Japanese people. That's incredible. Yeah, and all the yakuza were fucking sound as well they were sound yeah don't they kill people though yeah but that doesn't mean they're not nice as well oh yeah that like oh fred west probably bought his mates like prison presence and that yeah that was hard for them on it when he went down like oh jesus christ
Starting point is 00:28:42 i know he's killed loads of people but he got me a fucking amazon echo you don't fucking great one of them is dog this dog went over my towel and got sand on my towel and i didn't say anything shot the dog a member of the yakuza's dog got sand on your towel yeah i didn't say anything i just sat down i'd been in the scene I came back And it was all sandal over there And I was like
Starting point is 00:29:07 What the fuck? And this fella went Hey sorry that was me I was like no that's fine No problem Because I knew And then he went I'm in the Yakuza
Starting point is 00:29:14 And walked away And he went Do you live round here? And I was like No no we live about an hour away He's like Oh I've got a bar in Sakai Which is near me
Starting point is 00:29:21 You should come down one day And get some drinks with me I was like They were trying to recruit a scouser maybe why aren't you in the Yakuza do you know how much more
Starting point is 00:29:30 interesting it would have been if you'd have joined this podcast with fucking eight tattoos and a year's worth of Yakuza experience yeah
Starting point is 00:29:37 think of the sitcom you could have wrote he scouts it wasn't a sitcom they're Brazilian it wasn't a sitcom it was a drama it was meant to be gritty
Starting point is 00:29:46 yep could you write 11 minutes of triad based Scouse comedy for a gritty drama is this definitely going to get made oh yeah
Starting point is 00:29:55 oh yeah pretty good chance I can't believe you didn't go to Sakai, to the bar. You're getting the Tony Soprano of fucking Japan going, hey, it's just that way. Come to the bar. And you didn't go. I'd have gone that day.
Starting point is 00:30:16 We went to that bar previously because he went to, do you live around here? And I was like, no, Sakai. And he was like, oh, I've got a couple of bars that way. By the way, are they speaking English when they're talking to you? Yeah. Yeah. Your car spoke fluent Japanese.
Starting point is 00:30:29 I thought he could have. He's a bright guy. I couldn't have understood what he was saying in the conversation, but he spoke English. I mean, they have to because they're doing international deals, aren't they? Yeah. Even on the beach, full of Brazilians. He's like, you should come down and get some drinks together.
Starting point is 00:30:40 And I was like, yeah. And for like 10 seconds, I felt cool as fuck. Yeah. How did you know he was in the Yakuza? Because he had the tats And I was like, yeah. And for like 10 seconds, I felt cool as fuck. Yeah. How do you know he was in the Yakuza? Because he had the tats. Oh shit, yeah. You don't, like tattoos are not seen.
Starting point is 00:30:50 You can't go in lots of places if you've got tattoos. So if you've got them and you're flaunting them, you want people to know who you are. Yeah. Let's pass that. I'd have gone that day, me.
Starting point is 00:30:59 I reckon if that was me, I'd have ended up like running the Yakuza or something. Do you know what I mean? I'd have got in with them. Just for the life experience. Imagine the Edinburgh show you'd write if you spent a couple of years running the Yakuza. Adam and the Yakuza.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Does Japan appeal to you? We've talked so much about it. Everyone's Edinburgh show title's always, like, a pun, innit? You're accusing me of being a gangster. Oh! What?
Starting point is 00:31:31 You're accusing me of... All right. Yours is better. Does Japan appeal at all? What, to go to Japan? Yeah. Yeah, as soon as, like, COVID's over
Starting point is 00:31:41 in, like, six or seven years. Because I was going... I was going to Japan for 10 days I was meant to go and see him for 10 days and we made a new plan to go in
Starting point is 00:31:50 for the Olympics next year but that's going to be A expensive and probably not going to happen unless the vaccines come in spring and it's mass produced
Starting point is 00:31:58 straight away yeah I want to go in him I want him to show me around his gaffs and I want to go to that that place and have a bevy with the Kikki Hoos guy all I want is to be successful him. I want him to show me around his gaffes and I want to go to that place and have a bevy with the Kikki Hoos guy.
Starting point is 00:32:05 All I want is to be successful enough that I can go to Japan whenever I want. You want to just be able to fuck off to Japan for an hour? What, like a weekend break? Like people go to Amsterdam, you're going to fucking Nagasaki? He means more like the way I go to McDonald's for a McFlurry when I'm hungry.
Starting point is 00:32:20 That's what he wants. Like, I'll go on to Japan next week for the week or two weeks. Like, I've got a house there. That's all I want, just to be able to go when I want. Not like once a year because it's fucking...
Starting point is 00:32:28 Yeah, Algarve will do for me, you know, because of the flight times. I want New York for me. I want to be able to just fuck off to New York for two weeks, do two weeks of stand-up and maybe LA for the week and come back.
Starting point is 00:32:37 That's just you and me doing the podcast those weeks, Finn. When he's in Japan with his Yakuza mates and he's in fucking America. Does it appeal to you? China and... You don't want to live a life
Starting point is 00:32:50 and say there's somewhere you haven't seen. So I'm not. I've done some travelling. I've done... Most of my stuff is like tourism rather than travelling. And I've been places, which is a bit of a sneak, with gigs. But I'd love to see China and Japan.
Starting point is 00:33:07 I just don't know. They're incompatible, you know? Really? Genuinely. I feel like if you're in Shanghai and seeing China, you might as well get the two-and-a-half, three-hour flight. I don't know how far it is to Japan. About four hours from Hong Kong to...
Starting point is 00:33:18 Yeah. But, like, as compatible as Wales and Mexico. I'm a non-C... Genuinely, this... No. Honestly, theyuinely, this... No. Wales and Mexico... Honestly, they are. No.
Starting point is 00:33:28 No. Why are you saying no? Because... Because they're both vaguely the same in your head. Okay. Okay. Because they are geographically next to each other. They also...
Starting point is 00:33:39 If you look at their language and how it's written, there's a lot of similarities there. If you look at Chinese food and... Well, more than welsh and spanish well there's a welsh um society in patagonia and argentina okay yeah like just to blow that way out of mexico are like quite similar do you know i mean like a little small country near a fucking big one. Mexico, little small country. Comparatively.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Comparatively. Yeah, Wales is smaller than England. You are on the bullshit bus on this one. It's smaller than America. Yeah. Mexicans love going to America to get a better job. Wales, they love coming here. Just lost 500 listeners.
Starting point is 00:34:23 What are you fucking saying? No, I'm not saying they want to live here. They fucking hate us. Mexicans don't like America. Yeah. Wales they love coming here just lost 500 listeners what are you fucking saying no I'm not saying they want to live here they fucking hate us Mexicans don't like America yeah it's just as better jobs there
Starting point is 00:34:30 he's right though and there's always the Welsh trying to get over the border innit build a wall yeah round Shrewsbury yeah
Starting point is 00:34:37 yeah it's just the same they're always I've always had Welsh cleaners does Spanish use a very similar alphabet to us do you know what i mean i mean they use the same alphabet they've got like accents and stuff on top of them so like that we haven't got so it's very similar but it's not the same yeah china and japan same alphabet
Starting point is 00:34:54 no no exactly well they they share i'm arguing for you yeah you you've just he's just decided which way he's the wind's blowing on this. They shared a written language that is not used everywhere. Yeah. There's like, there's three languages in Japan, so. That must be a fucking
Starting point is 00:35:10 nightmare. I tell you, these lads from Wales, they'll back you up because you live in what? Llanelli or Brecon, you live in the fucking
Starting point is 00:35:20 valleys. You're like, I tell you what, we've been in Mexico for two weeks. I hardly know I'm out of the valleys. Honestly.

Starting point is 00:41:24 a late bloomer so I'm still in March in lockdown 1.0. Fucking weird when people do that. Well, get in touch because they're listening to March. Well, you get emails going, oh, the funniest story from when you're like, mate, that's literally April we were doing that. And it's great that you've written the email in, but we're not going to be like guys had a great story in I don't know if you've listened to episode 28
Starting point is 00:41:47 no we will sometimes after stories are good don't ever think you can't send something in yeah but if we ask a question five, eight months ago we might not get the answer anymore hopefully I'll catch up by the end of November
Starting point is 00:41:59 would you rather have £50,000 in £50 notes yeah or 1 million pounds in one pence pieces 1 million 1 million pounds and you can only spend the money in the form you are giving it no banking no changing etc keep up the good work so you get £50,000 in a briefcase I imagine £50,000 in 50s is probably probably not as much
Starting point is 00:42:28 as you think well it's a thousand notes isn't it yeah is it am I being thick no that's right yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:42:33 well done you get a thousand notes in it thank you Adam and then you've got you've got 500 no hang on 50p
Starting point is 00:42:42 is it 50p it's 50,000 times 100, isn't it? So it's 5 million. What? What? Is that right? No. You get a million pounds in 50p's?
Starting point is 00:42:51 Yes, you've got 50,000... Oh, no, sorry. Yeah, that's totally ridiculous. 50 pence is... You've got a million in one pence pieces. In one pence? Yeah. So that's 100 million pennies?
Starting point is 00:43:03 Yeah. Look, the answer is... Where are you keeping that shit? The answer is, even if you expand your imagination and you've got this room that you can store them pennies in, what can you actually buy? Where, like, most stuff is online now. Tenders can actually refuse more than £2 in coppers.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Yeah. So, unless you're one of them dads who's got a fine for taking the kid out of school oh that is the least original fucking online content
Starting point is 00:43:33 we took the kid to fucking Marbella and then we got a fine for taking him out of school so I went and paid the fine in two pence pieces
Starting point is 00:43:41 you're a bellend I quite like that I think it's bellendry of the highest order if you're the bellend I quite like that I think it's bellendry of the highest order if you're the first person to do it absolutely brilliant
Starting point is 00:43:49 when you're like oh I've seen it before it's just unoriginal and annoying fucking grandad page nah it's fucking hell
Starting point is 00:43:56 well they can refuse it as well yeah so I'm taking the 50 grand mate what's the most you can spend with pennies
Starting point is 00:44:02 at what point a tenner innit yeah like imagine if you were on the till at the most you can spend with pennies? At what point? A tenner. In it. Yeah. Like, imagine if you were on the till at fucking Tesco and someone did
Starting point is 00:44:11 their big shop 140 quid and you had to count the pennies into your till which has got about this much fucking space for coppers.
Starting point is 00:44:18 It's a thousand. We didn't even take coppers in hot water. That's how fucking little they fucking use now. Yeah. Do we even in the till? Yeah, I'm taking the 50 grand me
Starting point is 00:44:26 and I'm putting it on an horse at 20 to one. Right. And then you've got your million. You only need 19 to one, actually. Yeah, that's how betting works. Yep. What you've done there
Starting point is 00:44:38 is you took 50 grand and you've got no grand. No. No, no, because it makes sense, doesn't it? He's done the math. There is literally no problem with that plan
Starting point is 00:44:46 take your briefcase stick it down at fucking Ladbrokes what you're best doing there is going to Ladbrokes with the pennies because fuck them no
Starting point is 00:44:54 because they won't take it you're not even allowed to go to one of them noncy coin machines I love those guys can you get a tip on a good horse you know
Starting point is 00:45:04 what was the odds on the last grand national winner I bet it was about 20 to 1 yeah good horse you know what was the odds on the last Grand National winner I bet it was about 20 to 1 yeah good it's a safe bet the Grand National
Starting point is 00:45:09 that's well known people who are into horses know that the Grand National is the one you bet on because it's all about form do you ever
Starting point is 00:45:17 how much is the most you've ever bet in one I by the way I'm a absolute fucking grandad for betting I'm like can't be doing with it.
Starting point is 00:45:25 Oh, really? Oh, I can waste money like a trooper. I can't justify the loss. No, I like putting a little accumulator on a weekend. A fucking hacker. Yeah. And I reckon when I've been a bit silly with the lads, if Liverpool are playing someone,
Starting point is 00:45:42 and I think the most I've ever put on a bet was like, it was like one to two. So you have to put 100 quid on to win 50. And I think I put 100 quid on and I won. It was like Liverpool to have the most corners in a game or something. What a weird thing to bet on. But it was against like fucking Burnley. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:00 It seemed like they're going to sit back all game. We're just going to be lobbing balls in the box. You're going to get corners. They're almost certainly not going to get back all game we're just going to be lobbing balls in the box you're going to get corners they're almost certainly not going to get many because it's all counter attacks we do the odd bet don't we if I come to yours to watch the footy like I go to hers to watch the footy
Starting point is 00:46:13 two or three times a week we'll throw a fiver on yeah because it's a bit it's a bit of fun isn't it I don't bet to win I bet for fun so I'll put 12 teams on an accumulator and a fiver'll get you back 300
Starting point is 00:46:25 grand all right so we've got a facebook group for comics that like the nfl me and rob i've lost two bets to rob thomas and you put like a nando's on it yeah and then it's fun because i've had to take rob thomas for nando's which is well you know don't take nando's though you can't take up with a fucking no but i mean that type of betting i like a bit of't take it off with a fucking... No, but I mean, that type of betting, I like a bit of that. Because it's also about, we were betting on, I think it was literally like, who's going to... We were betting on one NFL team, and I was like, they're not going to end up better than, like, whatever, 8-8.
Starting point is 00:46:53 And Rob Thomas said they were, and I lost. And at the end of it, you get to take a mate for tea. That's fine. Or Rob Thomas. Yeah. A couple of weeks ago in the NFL, it went a little bit viral, this. The Green Bay Packers, who are a good team,
Starting point is 00:47:07 are playing the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are having a shit season. And someone put on a £100,000 bet that the Packers would win. And if they won, he'd get seven grand winnings. So put £100,000 on to win £107,000, which is a mental amount of risk for profit but it was such a slam dunk in the odds and it was a one score game it was tight right till the end and that's why it became a story because if if the Packers had been blowing out the jags right from the off it'd be like the guy's sensible. But it was literally like 24 all in the fourth quarter,
Starting point is 00:47:45 as tight as that. And like, Sky were like, did you know that someone's shitting themselves in Green Bay with Conor McGregor? I remember when, you know, when McGregor fought Mayweather, and they had like an exhibition boxing match,
Starting point is 00:47:58 Conor McGregor. Yeah, it's one of their, it was, it was an exhibition, wasn't it? But it's like, isn't it the biggest,
Starting point is 00:48:04 it's the second highest, it's the's like isn't it the biggest box office ever it's the second highest grossing boxing match after Floyd Mayweather Manny Pacquiao of all time oh yeah and they finally got that on too late
Starting point is 00:48:12 we watched that in Edinburgh because it was Jordan the Fringe at Daniel Sloss' house and he had 50 of us around all wrapped around the telly oh my god
Starting point is 00:48:19 and I won't say who the comic was in case he doesn't want to go out there we've mentioned it before yeah we've said this. But someone put a lot of money on Mayweather to win.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Like a lot of money. A lot of money is relative to what you own or what you have in your account, isn't it? But this comic's got money in his account. Okay. And he was sweating like a paedophile near an A3. He was fucking shitting himself.
Starting point is 00:48:46 He was... because at the start of that fight like when you look back on the fight now everyone's like Floyd Mayweather arguably the greatest boxer to ever play
Starting point is 00:48:53 against McGregor who is just a stand-up MMA fighter it's like of course Mayweather won but when he got in he looked big didn't he well no it wasn't bad
Starting point is 00:49:03 McGregor looked big I think Mayweather sort of for a laugh let McGregor looked big I think Mayweather sort of for a laugh let McGregor win the first two rounds because he he just was like
Starting point is 00:49:11 he was smiling but McGregor McGregor won the first round and arguably the second because he was just throwing digs he was he was scrapping
Starting point is 00:49:18 like an Irish MMA fighter does and Mayweather was like I'll be fine you're not going to and he's got a hell of a punch on him hasn't he and I can move out the way and then as the fight went on Mayweather was like I'll be fine you're not going to and he's got a hell of a punch on him hasn't he and I can move out the way and then as the fight went on
Starting point is 00:49:28 Mayweather was just picking him off and in the end he won but for those first two rounds the comic in question was like holy fucking shit I've put too much money
Starting point is 00:49:36 on this fight and it's an absence can you say how much I don't know how much it was but it I think it was might have been 50 G's you know
Starting point is 00:49:43 I don't think it was that much there's definitely a 5 in it and I don't think it was that much. There's definitely a five in it, and five seems too little. It was a lot of money. 15 would be. Maybe 15, yeah. But it was large. You see, there are some conversations you have to have, like, you know, when you've got a podcast
Starting point is 00:49:57 and you tell your partner that you're renting a studio in Runcorn and then you have to lie about how much money it costs to renovate said studio. There's certain things you do as then you have to lie about how much money it costs to renovate said studio. There's certain things you do as a partner have to speak about. My account's my account. But in theory, it's our money. Like, we don't do shared accounts.
Starting point is 00:50:15 It's just like, what are we doing? She works, I work. If we need stuff, I'm not like, spend your own fucking money. But I don't want someone... I just think it's an argument waiting to happen, access to my bank account however there are conversations where you've got to be like i'm doing this i'm just saying yeah if you lost 15 g's 15 grand because you've been to daniel sloss's house and got fucked up watching an exhibition boxing match i I think that would cause quite a few issues
Starting point is 00:50:46 in the following weeks. It might do, it might know what you're missing. Yeah. You're only like, university's bullshit. Shouldn't need to go. Yeah, I can't do it. To answer the would you rather, I'm doing 50 grand in 50s
Starting point is 00:50:59 because you just can't spend the pennies. Yeah. It's not always easy spending 50s though, is it? It's easier than spending pennies. Yeah. It's not always easy spending 50s, though, is it? It's easier than spending pennies. Yeah. I love the face people pull when you try and pick, like, you know when you turn up with a 50-pound note, and they're like, ah.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Like, if you go with a 50-pound note to the wrong shop, it literally shuts down. If you go with a fiver to the bus, it's like you've handed them a fucking box of Arsenal. Mate, KFC refused money the other day. I went, I'm sorry, I've had a tenner. I did have my card, but I knew it was like in my phone and my phone was down there.
Starting point is 00:51:34 I was just like, I'm going to be lazy. I was like, a tenner? They were like, all right. Disease paper? Be gone, man from the past. But what about coronavirus? I'm in a KFC with fucking 17 other bellends
Starting point is 00:51:47 that's a conspiracy that isn't it what that they invented coronavirus to make banking less paper and more
Starting point is 00:51:52 online but it was already that no I mean but like like speed like quicken up the process yeah it's like money
Starting point is 00:51:59 doesn't really exist do you know who I feel bad for the 2p machine owners in Blackpool yeah it's fucking them, isn't it? They're finished now.
Starting point is 00:52:06 They've lost eight quid so far. It's a fucking nightmare. I love the 2P machines where you're like, I've got this. Four quid later, like, no one touched that one. You're dying to just blast it. The only conspiracy theory I buy into
Starting point is 00:52:17 about coronavirus is that there's a network of paedophiles who are about to be exposed and it might be them. Okay, next time on the Have a Word podcast. Do you know what I mean? It's just like...
Starting point is 00:52:30 To take the limelight. What? To take the limelight away, you mean? Just because, yeah, like, you know, you had Jeffrey Epstein, who, let's be honest, definitely didn't kill himself.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Ghislaine Maxwell, she's been arrested. She's got fucking coronavirus now or she's isolated. She'll be dead soon. Quite fit. Everyone's like, not talking about be dead soon quite fit everyone's like
Starting point is 00:52:45 not talking about her Prince Andrew everyone's forgot about him Philip Schofield as well he had some kind of and that's why we are in a world worldwide recession
Starting point is 00:52:53 yeah with millions because that's how powerful they are and I guarantee you they've got Richard as a result of it it's the rich and powerful people innit
Starting point is 00:53:00 yeah yeah it's like there's a network of nonces oh 100% but there is though it's the pedo illuminati it is though yeah totally yeah yeah it yeah yeah it's like there's a network of nonces oh 100% but there is though it's the pedo illuminati it is though
Starting point is 00:53:07 yeah totally yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but there is do you not think that there's genuinely like a pedophile ring like that
Starting point is 00:53:13 fucking what was it the pedophile express like Epstein's plane he'd fly them around and all shit
Starting point is 00:53:18 he flew them to an island and there was just like kids in boxes he had a sex cult he had a sex cult yeah
Starting point is 00:53:23 they don't start worldwide pandemics those guys how do you know of course he had a sex cult yeah they don't start worldwide pandemics those guys how do you know of course I don't know exactly but you don't know either I'm not saying I know
Starting point is 00:53:30 and you sound like a fucking non I'm not I'm not saying that I know it's a fucking worldwide pedo illuminati who've got access to fucking Chinese fucking viruses
Starting point is 00:53:40 no I mean it'd be easy to get it Bill Clinton's deaf I was and he's deaf I wasn't yeah I hate fucking conspiracy talk I love, and he's deaf, I wasn't.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Yeah. I hate fucking conspiracy talk. I love that you hate it, you know. I honestly, it makes my eyes water. But, like, I'm not saying it's happening. I'm saying it's definitely realistic and possible. Imagine if you've got a whole network of 2P machines and it's the pedo Illuminati that have fucking ruined your business. There's some poor cunt in Pachelli, North Wales.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Do you not think it's a bit of a coincidence that as it looked like all that was coming out, that this all went off? I'm not saying I believe it. I'm saying, you know, I'm open-minded. Jeffrey Epstein has single-handedly fucked Landudno. What's the question? I've got another, would you rather?
Starting point is 00:54:23 50 quid's are a bit of a dickhead thing to spend aren't they yeah remember like I had an uncle who used to used to gave us a 50 quid once
Starting point is 00:54:31 and you're like alright dickhead you're not the stripper I fucking love having a 50 quid in my wallet though I feel like I'm a millionaire yeah but apart from
Starting point is 00:54:37 when it's too big for your wallet and then it goes frayed at one side because you've got a fucking poor person wallet that only goes up to the 20 side
Starting point is 00:54:44 and then your big 50's flapping out the side it's been in there too long because you can't spend it poor person wallet that only goes up to the 20 side and the big 50s flapping out the side it's been in there too long because you can't spend it at Greg's this is why you shouldn't have wallets you should have a
Starting point is 00:54:50 little card carrier like I've got where do you put your 50 pound note then just keep it on its own sounds good I'd rather have a 50 pound note than
Starting point is 00:54:58 three 20s because I feel like I've got more money pedo illuminati would you rather age from the neck up or the neck down only i think what what so you either get wrinkly from from this point on yeah yeah let's say now exactly where you are now yeah Yeah. Your head keeps aging. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:26 And your body stays a fucking pudgy little 39-year-old. But for the purposes of this. That needs the help of a PT. You're single. Because you've got to consider like attracting a mate. But I'm not single, Adam. I'm in love with my soulmate who's beautiful and glowing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:40 In this crazy universe. Yeah. In this crazy universe. You've got the body you want as well. You can go to the gym and smash it, and it stays like that. No, that's not the question. No, it's my body, isn't it? Yeah, your body, but there's an age.
Starting point is 00:55:50 No, but I could work out in it. It could achieve all the things that my... I mean, there's a glass ceiling. Yeah. Yeah. It's a concrete ceiling. Or you stay with a youthful head Yeah I think that would look fucking weird
Starting point is 00:56:09 If you had wrinkly bollocks But you looked like a Kendall up top But not many people see your wrinkly bollocks do they? No but the ones who do Get you in our boat The ones who do Like if you could If you could have like a wrinkly face
Starting point is 00:56:22 And you get old Just normally Because you're not It's not like you age overnight. You're still going to age naturally in your face. And then you get to, like, 70, and for some reason you manage to pull a girl because she falls in love with you,
Starting point is 00:56:33 and you get her in bed and you fucking whip your body out and you've still got a fucking 30-year-old's pipe. She'd be made up. Yeah, she would. Do you know, because of clothes, the first one where your head ages normally and your body stays the same is an absolute touch. Because that happens anyway.
Starting point is 00:56:52 That happens normally, doesn't it? You get older. But all the old people you know can't fucking walk. They've got bladder issues. You know? Like, that's my big fear. I want to get to 80. If I go somewhere between 80 and 85,
Starting point is 00:57:09 I've had a great result. Because 85 to 90, it gets a bit rickety, doesn't it? Just having watched my grandparents. 95, literally my granddad at 95, fucking hell. I have to let the phone ring and ring and ring and ring and ring and then he's like hello and he's he's walked three yards and it's a fucking it's not even on a wire he just
Starting point is 00:57:32 leaves it in one place because he doesn't understand how fucking wireless phones work to be fair though that's not a bad tactic the amount of times i lose my phone and my car keys. I'm definitely on my way to being him. You'd go 40, wouldn't you? Happily. Not 40, like 65. Would you take 65 right now? No, because I don't, I've got too much fear of missing out, so I don't want to ever die, but
Starting point is 00:57:57 I'd like to skip from 65 to 95. Mental reason not to want to die. Grandad Ro, what will you miss the most the fucking results on Saturday yeah
Starting point is 00:58:10 isn't that mad though that it carries on when you're dead I'd like to skip from 65 to 95 that's mad though isn't it the world cup happens
Starting point is 00:58:18 when you're dead it's still happening yeah but if you get a little bit spiritual then you can still watch it and you can watch it from the sky you get a fucking dead people if you get a little bit spiritual then you can still watch it and you can
Starting point is 00:58:26 watch it from the sky you get a fucking posture if there is a heaven which there's
Starting point is 00:58:30 not they still give a shit about the world cup I would not the world cup
Starting point is 00:58:36 but the premier league yeah yeah 100% but like the idea of when to go
Starting point is 00:58:42 I reckon being like 65 66 you're still all right starting to get a bit achy though you know you're not i've done stand-up about this you get you gotta go in and out to hospital for scans i'd be gutted to go at 65 some 66 year olds are in great nick yeah but me and you aren't gonna be that's true um i reckon being like 78 looks horrendous because you've still got all your marbles you can see your grandkids eyeing your house up for when you're dead.
Starting point is 00:59:06 And you've got to keep, you get resentful of them. If you're 95 and the dementia's kicked in, you're fucking sweet. I've got to agree with you on this one because I've sharted after a can of sugar-free Red Bull. Yeah. And that's in your late 30s. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:18 So what's going to be happening? I wake up for a wee now. I'm 28. Do you know what I mean? Oh, God. Do you in the middle of the night? Like, once a month, yeah. Earlier.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Just has one piss a month. Of course. It's Adam. He's still upstairs. Two-hour piss, first of every month. The direct debit goes out, and he fills the bowl. Got any more? Yeah, if you want to do one more this has been one of my favorite starts to a podcast for ages let's do one more would you
Starting point is 00:59:53 rather um would you rather give up your love life or your work life oh what are you trying to do to me, Carl? Oh my God It's a public episode That means he'd get rid of his love life I know you can't say it But I can say it for you Laura, pack your bags, girl You can still keep Etta You'll have to get rid of Laura
Starting point is 01:00:21 It's unthinkable I mean, i don't know i don't know if laura what would want me if i had to give up comedy and podcasting yeah i don't think she would want the annoyed fucked off like we've just had a another break from what we love doing. And this has been an absolute godsend, hasn't it? Without this, you know, how would your head be? Mine would be fully in a shed. We've been in here four days this week. Because, like, just to contextualise this for people watching,
Starting point is 01:00:57 as you'll know by the time you've got to this point in the pod, today's episode is with Johnny Bongo, which we recorded the Johnny Bongo bit two days ago. Yesterday we recorded an episode with Tom Lucy. And today, after we recorded the Johnny Bongo bit two days ago. Yesterday, we recorded an episode with Tom Lucy. And today, after we've recorded this bit, we're recording a bit
Starting point is 01:01:09 with Rob Mulholland to go out next week. And we've also obviously recorded a Patreon episode this week. We've been in here four days, which is pretty close to the six we were doing
Starting point is 01:01:17 during the first lockdown. But we haven't felt fatigued this week. It's felt like fun because every episode's been a bit different. This has been, literally,
Starting point is 01:01:24 it's not getting like, oh God, I can can't be bothered this has been one of the most fun bits of the whole week it's a reason to get up imagine not having this i honestly lockdown i honestly think i would be on the brink of being locked in a mental health institution if i didn't have this because it's been a reason to get up like in the morning when you get up and you're like oh fuck can't be arsed back to sleep for an hour I do that all the time when I've got nothing to do but when I've got this I get up and I'm like oh fuck I should go back to bed for an hour and then
Starting point is 01:01:54 five minutes later I'm like fucking pod day got my music on I'm in the shower I've brushed my teeth I'm minty fresh I've got a bit of lemon on me fucking underarms not smelling like pits anymore put a bit of aftershave on pick Carl up got a bit of jshave on, pick Carl up, got a bit of Jerry Cinnamon on in the car. Oh, it could be a...
Starting point is 01:02:08 That's what it's like to love your job, isn't it? Yeah. Fucking sick. And if you're listening to this going, I fucking hate my job, I just... We empathise with you.
Starting point is 01:02:20 Just keep trying to get to somewhere where you like your job. And it might be a job that someone else would fucking hate but talking to people who buzz off what they do the similarities between my life adam's life and their life all right it's a different thing they're doing but when you buzz off what you do doesn't half make life easier and i know it's not as easy as just fucking off your
Starting point is 01:02:41 job that you don't like you've got a graft We had to work unpaid for God knows how long. But, yeah, I don't know if giving up a love life to then do this would be grim, but I honestly don't think Laura wants to deal with me fucked off. See, I think either one of these is devastating because even as a recently single man, at some point... You've just got to become asexual.
Starting point is 01:03:11 At some point, just to be slightly serious, at some point I'm going to want to be in a serious relationship. I've got ideals on having a family one day and a house with pets and all that sort of shit. I like that idea. I really do. But, but, and I really do. But, but, and I really do want that. However,
Starting point is 01:03:27 there's a reason this is a would you rather because they're both fucking awful. I feel like as long as I had me mates around me enough, I would survive easier with keeping me work life than I would with keeping me love life. Because I think
Starting point is 01:03:43 having, it, it's yeah I don't think I can give up work I really don't I can't give up my beautiful pregnant wife
Starting point is 01:03:52 when we found out yesterday end of pod that Liverpool are going into tier 2 and hot water went
Starting point is 01:03:57 we're opening on Friday and Saturday and December I could have cried with happiness that I'm going to get to do
Starting point is 01:04:02 3 gigs a weekend for the entirety of December and I'm going to get to do three gigs a weekend for the entirety of December and I'm going to cherish every single fucking one of them because we all know far too fucking well that on the 1st of January, the country's going into national lockdown until these vaccines start getting fucking shoved up our ass. I think everyone's like,
Starting point is 01:04:18 January's going to be shit. What about February? Are the government helping you financially? Yeah? Well, it's not looking good then fuck knuckle yeah oh we'll deal with that let's deal with that when we get there but i i'd like to keep both that's okay yeah it's all right carl just no you're both picking work and that's fine no i think you misunderstood me no no no no we're both picking work sorry laura pack your bags leave the baby

Yeah, but we've done like a year or so. It's like, welcome back from the last time you watched it or listened to it. People also, there's definitely people I've noticed
Starting point is 01:07:10 when we have a guest in, my heart esteemed guest today. There's definitely people who jump to the guest bit and just fuck us off. Yeah, it's a YouTube comment like, one minute, five seconds,

Starting point is 01:07:36 What's Tenerife like at the minute? Because me and Carl are thinking If Liverpool goes into Tier 2 Yep It means that there might not be many gigs for me and I can't be arsed staring at the same four walls anymore so I might fuck off somewhere
Starting point is 01:07:51 I reckon you'd get gigs in Tenerife Do you want me to get some gigs going? Do you have to do lowbrow comedy? Oh no, there's no point in that Where can he take his highbrow political satire? That's the question It's all right. I went to a family resort for the first two weeks.
Starting point is 01:08:09 And I was like, I've got to get out of here. We're going to stay another week. And went to Costa. Costa Decca, maybe? Costa something. It was rough. Yes. That's what we wanted.
Starting point is 01:08:19 Two weeks of family. Two weeks of family. You know, nice. Yeah. All inclusive. Many discos. By the pool. And then this bar, Sky know, nice. Yeah, all inclusive. Many discos. By the pool. And then this bar, Sky Bar, did seven nights on a row there.
Starting point is 01:08:29 Different entertainment every night. Someone from Britain's Got Talent was on it. Oh, that's it then, isn't it? Like a drag act, but when I, like, research, you know, it's like, from Britain's Got Talent. It took me ages to find it. They were on it for maybe about seven seconds. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:41 They were just flashed up on Britain's Got Talent. Still got the fucking credit. But you can put it on the poster. They were in the background of someone else's audition yeah they're interviewing someone talking about the dead man and they come walk around in the background like mate i did uh i did tv about eight years ago nine years ago and it was the john bishop's only joking show and my agent put on posters without me knowing star of john bishop's only joking i was like mate they've been printed i was like i'm not the star of john bishop's only joking i was like mate they've been printed i was like i'm not the star of john bishop's only fucking joke how long were you on bishops literally 30 seconds split
Starting point is 01:09:13 into two clips about four weeks apart might have brought some people in though yeah once you see that sticker as seen on tv if you've got a credit fucking wh whore it out. Some TV credits you don't even want to put on it because they're shit shows, aren't they? And you see people like, I'm not going to watch this country if he's been on that. I'm at the point where anything goes on. It's nice to have like a fourth option to knock one of the three out.
Starting point is 01:09:37 But yeah, not John Bishop. Fucking ridiculous. So Tenerife would be, because everyone... It's a travel corridor, isn't it? Is it? It's a new term. Right, yeah. Just all these new terms. Bubble. It's bubble. Tenerife would be because everyone it's a travel corridor isn't it is it it's a new term right just all these new terms
Starting point is 01:09:47 bubble it's bubble Tenerife's in our bubble you can go as long as it's a travel corridor every country I've ever met seems to be in Dubai at the minute
Starting point is 01:09:55 yeah so that was my first thought my mate Libby lives out there shout out Libby in case she's watching and I was like Lib what's it like and she literally sent me
Starting point is 01:10:03 a video of her in a bar and it's just chocker. Everyone's sound, but you've got to wear a mask when you go to the toilet and stuff. I said to Carl, like, should we just... If we're not... If there's nothing to do... There's only so many PlayStation pads
Starting point is 01:10:15 I can smash up playing FIFA, do you know what I mean? Yeah. So, if it was you... Well, we're trying to get shows out there. We're trying to get some bingo shows out in Dubai, because everywhere else, we can't do them. That would decide it for me. We should contextualise that, actually,
Starting point is 01:10:29 because a lot of our fans are fans purely of comedy and they might not know who Johnny Bongo is at this stage. So you invented Bongo's bingo. Yeah, I was a wee bit nervous coming in because everybody's all comedians. I'm not a comedian, really. Some of the best episodes have been the non-comedian ones, to be honest. Oh, great in Because everybody's all comedians I'm not a comedian really Yeah Some of the best episodes Have been the non-comedian ones
Starting point is 01:10:46 To be honest Oh great Because when we have comedians in We just talk about comedy For the whole time And you can feel our listeners Sometimes being like Talk about something else lads
Starting point is 01:10:54 We get comments going When are you getting a non-comedian in And I've wanted to get you in for ages Yeah I'm sorry Do you know I've I've seen on TV as well Oh yeah
Starting point is 01:11:01 Yeah I've got that No one knows I know What did you do don't tell the bride don't tell the bride fuck off oh my god

Oh, so the Don't Tell the Bride one didn't last? No, it didn't last. Jesus Christ. Please tell, we've got to hear the story because you watch it and it's basically just like, aren't lads fucking morons on TV? It was a bit of that, but it was early. Don't Tell the Bride.
Starting point is 01:11:40 Right. I mean, like the golden age. If that's even a thing. They were letting you genuinely make decisions rather than like, she loves trampolines. Yeah. Do the reception on a trampoline. Yeah, it cuts to her going, I just hate trampolines.
Starting point is 01:11:52 I've just never been on a trampoline. Like, Nana's been sick three times. Are you happy, Brian? I'd love to see the statistics, right, of how many don't tell the bride managers actually went the distance. Yeah. Because it can't be a lot.
Starting point is 01:12:05 The amount of fucking mismatches. I felt like they only recorded with people who weren't meant to be together because it would literally, like, my favourite one was, she was like, he's obsessed with aliens
Starting point is 01:12:15 and, you know, I've never been into it. He's a bit of a conspiracy nut but I accept that about him. I just don't want that anywhere near me wedding. And then it cut to him looking around aircraft
Starting point is 01:12:22 and he's like, we'll get Klingons on the wall we'll put a Dalek up there it'll be fucking great she'll love it what did you think was going to happen love
Starting point is 01:12:30 this bell ends got 15 grand budget how much budget did you get 12 grand I think it was 12 12
Starting point is 01:12:35 and uh do you know what I did alright the only thing I messed up was um I did a hog roast and she's Turkish and all her family
Starting point is 01:12:44 are Muslim but I didn't know thanks for having me and I'm going now oh my god so I didn't know I didn't
Starting point is 01:12:54 like I was only like 20, 21 did that not come off while you were dating no because she would eat pork is that why you
Starting point is 01:13:03 texted me today and said do you eat bacon because Johnny texted me today and said do you eat bacon because Johnny texted me today before he came in and said do you eat bacon lad and I was like it's a bit of a fucking weird question what cunt doesn't eat bacon and I was like yeah as often as I can and you've turned up with
Starting point is 01:13:15 we've got to show people this two, one for me and one for Dan is this leftover from the wedding have you just got this out of the freezer so this is these bacon ribs one for Dan is this leftover from the wedding have you just got this out of the freezer frozen hard roast so this is these bacon ribs listen I just
Starting point is 01:13:28 have two things I'm into at the moment is baby Yoda merchandise and this butcher from Ireland yeah called meet Peter
Starting point is 01:13:36 you need to check him out like I'm a big fan girl of him and I'm like messaging him all the time he doesn't really message me back
Starting point is 01:13:42 it's a bit awkward but it's buried in a pit of sugar but it's buried in a pit of sugar. So it's dry cured first. Dry cured first and then all the moisture comes out when it's dry cured and then they bury it in sugar and the moisture is replaced
Starting point is 01:13:55 with sugar. It's sweet. It's the best gear you'll ever have. I feel a wedding coming up. Honestly it's unbelievable. That's our tea later. Yeah, there's enough to go around. Our tea? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:08 We're not married yet, lad. This is fucking mine. You can have some spuds. You know, people want to do little plugs of things and everything and obviously give their mates and whatever. If you turn up with 1.8 kilograms of meat as a guest, I'll literally talk about anything for you. That is fucking decent.
Starting point is 01:14:25 You've set the standard for guests now. It's not even like, I've got nothing to do with the guy. I'm just like, fucking into his gear like. Oh, I thought you were like,
Starting point is 01:14:32 I thought you had a like a. No, it's not like, this is my mate who's an Irish butcher and I'd love you to like take this and maybe give him a mention. Like,
Starting point is 01:14:40 I just love the stuff so much. And I just want. It's like he was sponsored by a butcher in Ireland. I thought he was his mate. He was like, go on the thing, give him a bit of so much. Did you think he was sponsored by a butcher in Ireland? I thought he was his mate. He was like, go on the thing, give him a bit of meat. See, when you go on that there, you mention my bacon.
Starting point is 01:14:51 No, it's not like that. I, like, just love that stuff. I want to re-tweet, I want to re-meet. He won't even follow me on Instagram, the guy. He won't follow you? No, I'm tagging him in. I'm saying, look, I've got this. I'm going to restaurants where they do, like,
Starting point is 01:15:04 Himalayan salt-aged beef. I'm just so them in. I'm saying, look, I've got this. I'm going to restaurants where they do this, like Himalayan salt-aged beef. I'm just so passionate about it. But I know that, like, it's like if someone's, like, with the bingo, if they're, like, so passionate and messaging all the time, it's almost a wee bit like you get a wee bit of standoffish. Whereas he's probably looking at me going, like, what the fuck's this guy up like? Because you're a grown man stalking a butcher.
Starting point is 01:15:22 Exactly. It is a little bit of a weird spot isn't it, it's not like he's an Instagram influencer and he's getting, like an only fan says like there's got to be a line, this guy's a butcher in Ireland and you're like mate I just want to be closer to you through your meat, yeah I don't think there's many butcher
Starting point is 01:15:38 stands you see but you'll get it once you try it yeah, I think you'll understand why I can't believe you thought he had a fucking brand deal and that's why you come in if i did i wouldn't like be like sit down this is the brief i want to advertise maybe we have to slip it in at the end like oh by the way there's some meat there from uh meet peter in moira in ireland i just thought i just it just made sense apparently i just i've never been gifted anything properly the last 25 guests whereabouts is he based?
Starting point is 01:16:06 he's based in Moira Moira because we have quite Ireland it's in Northern Ireland yeah so he's like the most
Starting point is 01:16:13 the only time I think I've actually got close to speaking to him was when I did a big order my man and I right at the start of lockdown they came over and I
Starting point is 01:16:22 like he wasn't doing online shopping yeah so I asked him to fill up like two freezer bags of go to his butchers and get all the stuff and bring it over i think i spoke to him on the phone what year did this transaction happen like hey can you come over i want a fucking van of meat that's what it was like and then i phoned him and i had to give like my card details over the phone and then at the end you know like can I have your expiry
Starting point is 01:16:46 and then he asked for the three buys on the back. I love that. I love the three buys. And give us the three buys on the back for the security code. Excellent. He probably wouldn't have spoke to me if he knew it was like me that he was talking to. I'm not that fucking guy from Instagram.
Starting point is 01:17:02 So he probably wouldn't have driven to your house. How did he get it delivered? Did DPD? My man, Dad, brought it over on the ferry. Right. You were smuggling bacon across the Irish Sea? They brought it over and, yeah. Shitting it about the backstop, Mum, Dad.
Starting point is 01:17:18 You need to get it in. You need to get the shit in. But now he's doing delivery to the UK. Customs are letting fucking women through with fucking cocaine up their arse and they're like share a chair
Starting point is 01:17:27 fucking batty see if she's got any bacon sausages good meat chat good meat chat great meat chat guys take it off
Starting point is 01:17:36 ten minutes into a pod I reckon that's the most we've talked about meat I loved it it's fantastic we are getting to the point where some things are getting brought up
Starting point is 01:17:43 again and again and we're like oh we kind of covered that we like i've caught us both saying it in the last month two months going we've mentioned it before none of that like don't tell the bride into a fucking meat advert that's really original we've not even talked about bongo's bingo we're like yeah never mind that what about meat i'd fucking love to to have seen your ex-wife's uncle turning up from fucking Turkey. Fuming. He's waited all day.
Starting point is 01:18:08 Because no one likes being at a wedding, do they? They're just waiting for the food and then they bring out a fucking pig on a stick. Like, here you go, fella. All my family were absolutely made up as well. Because there was more. My uncle's not going up again, there, so I am. Maybe it's... I can't imagine loads of Muslim uncles
Starting point is 01:18:28 are dead happy about trekking over to Northern Ireland for a wedding either. On telly. And I think it fits how they want it to happen for their daughter. Yeah. Or niece. Poor Mohammed's just like, I'm going to see me niece get married.
Starting point is 01:18:44 And he ends up on BBC3 stood next to a dead pig while everyone's having fucking sambuca this is not going to play well what else did you do everything else you played
Starting point is 01:18:55 it down the line I think it was alright yeah I just went a bit off the wall it was a big outdoor wedding it was good it wasn't like I think most people watched it
Starting point is 01:19:02 probably thought like that wasn't too bad yeah just don't look like a fucking idiot is the game innit yeah because it's hard I did look like an idiot it wasn't like i think most people watched it probably thought like that wasn't too bad yeah just don't look like a fucking idiot is the game in it yeah because it's hard they look like an idiot like i think just in general yeah that's sort of the fun of it isn't it it's like did she cry at any point yeah yeah oh fuck yeah the happiness or no they took her into the flat so where we were staying because it was all like dead strict and you had the proper sign you know these like waivers that you won't speak and if you do you're like liable for
Starting point is 01:19:30 production costs and things like that so the the guys that were like directing it um they promised when she was over and because we're living in london at the time yeah and she had went over the island she was coming back for a dress fitting and because I was like 21 not allowed to speak to your missus for three weeks it was just like a fucking free for all the flat was just like a party house and fuck fast bottles and I said you've just got to promise you won't bring her back
Starting point is 01:19:56 and they swore down that they wouldn't and then on the wedding day she told me I was in the flat I looked like a dickhead on that when she goes into the flat and she told me like I was in the flat and it was like that I looked like a dickhead on that like when she goes into the flat and she's crying and stuff
Starting point is 01:20:08 oh TV people are fuckers aren't they because it wasn't in the contract no of course of course of course we'd never do that get her in
Starting point is 01:20:14 get her in they're evil like that what's the one thing you don't want to happen we'll make sure that absolutely doesn't happen Muslim you say I know a butcher in Moira
Starting point is 01:20:22 yeah you can't really take them to court for that can you Was it in the contract Nobody fucking swore down on his man's life He said he wouldn't take it in The fuckers for that Can we just explain to our Avid listeners For anyone who doesn't know what it is
Starting point is 01:20:41 What is bongos bingo And how the fuck did that idea come around um it just came about because i was doing this pub quiz in liverpool in the shipping forecast yeah and i was doing that and it was a bit like off the wall bonus rounds just fucking loads of mad shit um and when was this johnny when we're talking about maybe 10 years ago. The bingo's been going for five years. So it was like, pub quizzes are a good laugh, but sometimes you can go and it's like fucking eggheads and you don't win anything.
Starting point is 01:21:12 So this was like a pub quiz where it was still a quiz, but it just was like carnage. And it's a cool bar. It's right in the middle of town. It's well known, that boozer in it. So that was like packed on a Monday. And were you just working there, or did you come in to do the quiz?
Starting point is 01:21:28 I think I'd been working in london in bars and restaurants and then came up and was working in the shipping forecast then put the quiz on and then started doing more like dj and radio work so left all the bar work i was like i'll maybe do more events and entertainment stuff and then from the back of that the bingo which is the same sort of concept it's like if you've ever been it's like you do go and play bingo and that's like really important because i don't think it would work if it's just like a themed night so you can go play bingo win mad prizes but win like money as well and then it's all this other sort of like creativity thrown into it like dance offs mad irish and was it was it like a manager going push it push it further or is it
Starting point is 01:22:06 you that was going so we're gonna have dance rounds we're gonna get everyone up on like yeah it was like basically what i was doing at this quiz and then i met my who's now my business partner he was josh he was doing like club nights and on that kind of scene so we we came together to do this like event did it in liver. Started it in the Camp and Furnace. Sorry, that's a bit... Oh, wait. We'll talk about that in a minute. I'm glad that's come up.
Starting point is 01:22:31 I fucking love it. Can we mention the beef? Can we mention the beef? We only mentioned the pork. Didn't get comedians on the show. Told me. So went and did it there. But it was my business partner that really pushed to do it
Starting point is 01:22:48 in other cities and and tour it out and like the demand for it's just nuts people just love it you did it um you did a private one for my work joe for connoff only in work yeah in par street that's i knew i knew your face fucking heavy yeah i knew i knew i knew your face and there was it was only like. Yeah, I knew, I knew, I knew your face. It was only, like, for a couple of hundred people? Yeah, it was three workplaces all under... Dave Rhodes, Conner Foley... For, like, Lucha Libre and all that. Lucha Libre and Miyagi, it fucking went off. I think there was a serious injury at that level.
Starting point is 01:23:18 There was. Dave fell off the table. It's essentially a club night, isn't it? That's got bingo, dance-offs, big games all thrown in. And, like, you're not just winning money. Like, I've seen people win space hoppers, and then they're bouncing around this fucking huge hall on space hoppers, off the fucking air, bladdered.
Starting point is 01:23:36 And it looks like you're living your best life up there while you're running. No, it's class. We're doing it all with our mates, and it started off with just one team doing it and going around. I was doing like five gigs a week around the country on repeat for about a year. Then we started to hire in more hosts and dancers. And I think where we're at now is we've got like 10 different hosts. And we do it all the work we're doing.
Starting point is 01:23:58 Just before Corona, we were doing like 30 shows a week across everywhere. But it's just class it's class Because everyone just like it's nice doing something That people of all ages And all different walks of life just buzz off it And it's not we don't take ourselves Too seriously it's just like a fucking laugh It's not easy that For it to be for everyone
Starting point is 01:24:20 You know like there's loads of things that are Shit hot but they leave part of the family out or part of your friends group out or anything like i've seen the videos that are the kind of videos that if you watch now where you're not allowed to go to booze you're like i want to go drinking so much i'd love to take you to a bongo's bingo night make that when please now we should vlog it oh my god add it to the fucking list well if we go to dubai next week and you're out there we're absolutely going to that that'd be the fucking list. Well, if we go to Dubai next week and you're out there, we're absolutely going to that.
Starting point is 01:24:46 That'd be the fucking best thing. When we first did Dubai, it's just, like we did it maybe three years ago. And it's actually, any time we ever start, because it started in Liverpool, I think it wouldn't be as successful as it is
Starting point is 01:25:00 if it had started in maybe another city. Liverpool is so sort of parochial, that spreads. And also it's like people, if you're on holiday and you heard maybe someone talking about Bongo's Bingo and a Scouser was there, they'd be like, that's fucking from Liverpool. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:25:13 Even though I'm from Ireland. You're an adopted Scouser. So when we did Sydney and Dubai and you just said, any Scousers in? You were actually in Dubai last year when I was out there. November last year. And why did you not come to the show? Because I was doing a show.
Starting point is 01:25:32 But our show might have went on later maybe. It didn't. I was closing the show so I wasn't finished until like half eleven or something like that. I think we went on to twelve. If we were acquainted back then Johnny I would have been there. Well I did reach out to you on Instagram. Did you?
Starting point is 01:25:46 Mate, stop stalking people on Instagram, Johnny. Did you really? No, I didn't. Sent him some lovely chicken. One of our other hosts said that he did speak to you. He did in Edinburgh? Yeah. At the Pleasant's Courtyard, yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:58 Yeah, he said you blanked him. I did. I said I wouldn't bring it up. You cut me off on my own podcast. I'm sorry. I know. He said, if you're going on that, bring that up. And I said, I'm not going to bring it up.
Starting point is 01:26:08 I was in the Pleasant's Courtyard and he come over to me. He was hammered. And he's like, lads. That's what he didn't put in. He's like, lads, you fucking watch all your videos. You and Paul, lads, fucking have it. You want to come on Friday, lads? I'll fucking talk to Johnny, lads.
Starting point is 01:26:22 We'll fucking get you down, lads. And I was like yeah yeah i will and then it just didn't happen yeah see he didn't tell it like that and i mean that's what the problem the truth is knowing uh this host rich furnace he was like well i seen that adam and i went up to him and i said well are you enjoying the fringe come to our show and he here's my business and he walked away i was like you're off your head on gary's problem we're like sweating all over him it was like day two of the festival as well and I was on day two of the Edinburgh festival
Starting point is 01:26:47 because you were there for a few days, weren't you? Is that right? I can't remember. That month of Edinburgh for a comedian, those first few days, you're mentally preparing yourself for a month-long tough mother that you're about to do.
Starting point is 01:26:59 It's heavy going. And the show's not quite ready and you're like tweaking things. You're like thinking as you go And you've got a fucking Publicist in your ear Going on Friday You're doing your show
Starting point is 01:27:08 Then you're doing these three Then you've got an interview With the Scotsman Then you're doing this Fucking TV show That no one's gonna Fucking watch But you need it
Starting point is 01:27:14 Because I need to write it down And tell you that I got you this fucking Yeah And all your family going When are we visiting You're like never Ideally
Starting point is 01:27:20 Never I think now just to atone For this though We're just gonna Even if we just go to Dubai For one night Just go to Dubai for one night, just go to that next week, we're going to have to do it.
Starting point is 01:27:28 It's quite interesting though because a lot of people in our industry and the events industry in general have struggled to cope with coronavirus. So your work is entirely in events. Is it just smuggling meat you've gone into or have you found some other... No, it is. It's like bringing the mood down it's it's fucked us big
Starting point is 01:27:49 time like and everyone in in the events industry and it's just such a tough one because you don't know how to play it like you can like you just have to fucking go with the flow i think that's what i've come to accept like you can't just like be angry all the time and just just have to go with it we got there in the spring we were trying to it starts doing your head in but it was the natural thing in march and april to be like i think we must have done this when we were doing the lockdown lockings the shutdown lockings whatever we were doing daily podcasts we started doing this thing about i think by june maybe july and it was like no november and well i think by september and in the end you just have to become a passenger
Starting point is 01:28:25 and be like we'll be ready when we're fucking allowed there's no point you're messing with your own mental health trying to predict it because you're trying to affect some control you just know that as soon as you can you're going to do your thing again yeah but it's brutal guessing nail in the head like because when when we started that that like when it started we were doing some streaming and it was kind of good and it's like oh well, this will be over by the summer, and then it's dying down, and then the government were sort of saying, oh, you know, there'll be arena shows in October and all, and it's just been tough.
Starting point is 01:28:53 It's been tough for all of our host dancers, like guys in the office, just a killer. But hopefully the brand that we've built will survive through it. Oh, it'll definitely still be there. We know that the style that we've built will survive through it. And we know that, like, the style of the event and, you know, comedy nights and things like that, like, that's what people want more than anything. As soon as, like, the green light goes,
Starting point is 01:29:18 I think the demand for to go out and have a night out, and not just maybe to go to the boozer for sort of, like, live entertainment, something a bit different. 2021, there will be a release of energy. Hopefully. We're banking on, we're doing the same thing again of like, it should be done by Easter. I mean, it should be done by Easter. No, but it really should be now.
Starting point is 01:29:34 Should let the vaccine come in. Stab your nan in the arm with this vaccine. Keep it in a fucking cupboard for two weeks. Give her the rest of it and let us go and have a fucking party. And I think there'll be such a flood of like, not just going to the boozer or fucking Nando's, things like comedy
Starting point is 01:29:48 and things like bongo spring up become like, oh fuck, I want to live, I want to do, like, to make up for what has been a bit of a shitty year
Starting point is 01:29:54 where you've missed out on stuff. Yeah, it's going to be like a fucking spring, isn't it? It's just constantly getting more and more tense and the tenser and tenser it gets,
Starting point is 01:30:01 when it gets released, it's just going to... My mate's starting to plan his 41st birthday because his 40th just got shat on from a great height, turned 40 in November, and he's just gone. There's nothing. I've not got to do anything.
Starting point is 01:30:13 So he's like, we're going big for 41. And he's just moving all the excitement to then. Good on him. So we're all going to be knobheads and try and find 41 balloons, which don't exist. Get a Sharpie pen, we'll be off. You're going to have to get a four and a one, because they definitely exist.
Starting point is 01:30:27 Because quite big birthdays when you're a kid. Two balloons. Fucking clever, lad. Not just a fucking hat racket. Is there a, like, do you get people on stage, don't you? What, from the crowd? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:44 Has there anyone ever, like, has there ever got a bit fucking eggy? Because I've brought people on stage before don't you? What, from the crowd? Yeah. Yeah. Has there ever got a bit fucking eggy? Because I've brought people on stage before. I made a mistake very early on. This was when Hot Water was in the Crown pub, and I was like three years in maybe, and the headline of that night was a Canadian called Marty McLean. Remember Marty? I do, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:01 So I'm on in the middle section, and there was this heckler who just, he thought he should have been on stage. So I went, come on then, come on stage. And Marty, who's a veteran of comedy, shit himself, he was like, this is going to kick off. Because I gave the guy the mic and stood next to him. I was like, go on, you do your bit then,
Starting point is 01:31:18 if you think you're good. Because I was having a decent gig, and he just, he stood all like awkwardly. Oh God. So I was in my mars the other day fucking bitch and it gets fuck all and he's like yes you know when your mars is doing your fucking head and fucking bitch and uh saying this i don't really remember what else he said but i remember he said that and it just didn't work and he's like oh you should all just fucking be knobheads because i was a knobhead to him this This is funny, this. Right? And I was like, can I have the mic back?
Starting point is 01:31:46 He was like, you can have it back when I'm finished. And then it got really fucking eggy because when Marty then rushed the stage and was like, give us the fucking mic, fuck you, he got kicked out, this guy. And afterwards, Marty was like, don't ever, ever get someone on stage, especially if they think they're going to be funny
Starting point is 01:32:04 because it's always alpha males who can't deal with the fact that someone's funnier than them in the room. They get on stage, they realise the fucking shit, and then it kicks off. So you've given them the mic because you know they're not going to be funny, but the end game isn't them going, Sir, I admit you have bested me, and I wish everyone here a lovely evening.
Starting point is 01:32:25 I'll go and put my head in the oven. So has it ever got a bit awkward? Not really. We get people up, but it's more for dance-offs. We do a raffle after every game. There's a lucky ticket. If you come up, that's when you win for big money. And it's like a who wants to be a millionaire question question or whatever um and like people have pissed themselves on stage like literally a couple
Starting point is 01:32:50 of times like winning like a couple of grand i think i only had one like like as as someone comes up and i'll like quickly give do like a wee like interview with them briefly like so where you from like warrenton or something and then as it's a shit gag but i just i just like it um and as they as they're leaving if they've got the question wrong i like you know beckon them back going listen saturday night we're all having a good time you know as if i'm going to give them another go and then i just say fuck off back to warrington and then everyone cheers and they sort of play the Curb Your Enthusiasm music and then they walk off. One guy once went to bottle me, but that was about it, really.
Starting point is 01:33:29 Oh, so when I said, does it ever get eggy? And you said no. Just the once, I nearly got bottled. But we've got this big security guy called Dangerous Dave, who is an absolute unit, and he just dived in. Did he pick his own nickname? I don't even think he's called Dave. Fucking brilliant.
Starting point is 01:33:47 He's class though, big boy. He's become part of the show, almost like Steve or whatever you call it from Jerry Springer. Yeah, he's just Dave. He just comes in, does little bits. He's like Graham from Jeremy Kyle. Like Graham, but like a unit. Graham was fucking massive.
Starting point is 01:34:04 No, there was another one in Jeremy Kyle. There was the security one, I think. Graham was fucking massive no there was another one in Jeremy Cal there was the security one I think Graham was the pastoral aftercare was he yeah Graham was the guy

Starting point is 01:34:19 we'll send you home with a bit of meat we'll get you help we're not dinkheads dangerous Dave oh fucking love the idea of just someone like being that's the thing with security
Starting point is 01:34:29 at comedy clubs they're there but they're not always watching I feel like Dangerous Dave is definitely there and watching that's his job
Starting point is 01:34:36 I remember at Rawhide once I said something about Northern Ireland I mentioned it because I used to have housemates from Belfast when I was at uni
Starting point is 01:34:44 and it got mentioned and I went into a bit and this piss person just couldn't accept that I talked about Northern Ireland and went to throw her drink at me, but it was a glass of wine. And as she did that motion, it sort of looped out of the glass and I just saw wine sort of just go over my head and then stood there going, did you just, just throw wine at me?
Starting point is 01:35:06 If you're quick enough there, free baggy. You shouldn't have said anything. You're nailing it. And I went, okay, but did you throw wine at me? And I was just waiting for like, and nothing fucking happened. It was the worst because I was just waiting for someone to get fucking rugby tackled from the side. Because bouncers are dying for something to kick off, because it's boring and nothing happens, so I had to go
Starting point is 01:35:27 oh, okay, you did then well, I'll get on with the commentary she's off for another glass of wine it's fucking brutal, there's a league table of bouncers though, isn't there, and I feel like bongos bingo, needs a dangerous Dave and then one step down from that, you've got nightclubs, step down from that
Starting point is 01:35:43 you've got local pubs that are a bit tasty step down from that, you've got nightclubs. Step down from that, you've got local pubs that are a bit tasty. Step down from that, you've got comedy clubs, and then even below that, you've got that sad cunt who has to stand on Burger King. Oh, no! Like, what happened in their life when they're like, oh, I'm going to be a doorman, I'm hard as fuck, I'm a fucking blue belt in fucking
Starting point is 01:36:00 karate. Chip flying! Chips are flying! Chips are flying! They just have to decide whether you're drunk enough for a fucking overpriced burger I feel so sorry for those guys
Starting point is 01:36:09 yeah what would your bouncer nickname be Dan? Dangerous Dave yeah so Dangerous Dave what would you it's not Dangerous Dave
Starting point is 01:36:16 is it it's fucking Baldy Nance is that I just like sex pest them until they start like alright
Starting point is 01:36:23 no alliteration just Baldy Nance Baldy Nance yeah I just don't do it until they start like, all right. No alliteration, just balding nonce. Balding nonce, yeah. I just don't do it like Liam. Leave me out of it, Liam. I don't. I'm a thespian. Are you?
Starting point is 01:36:34 Well, yeah, I was back in the days. You were a thespian? I did a bit of amateur dramatics. So I'm not a real thespian. I was just saying, you know. Isn't a thespian like an old-style English actor? No, I think it's just any form of sort of actor or drama type. It's just because most people, when they say thespian,
Starting point is 01:36:55 that's how they say it. Yeah. I'm a thespian. I'm a thespian. Yeah, it just means actor or, yeah. But people who use the term thespian are those type of cunts. Yeah. And so I apologise. I wish Iian are those type of cunts. Yeah. And so I apologise.
Starting point is 01:37:06 I wish I'd not done it. Argumentative, Adam. What, as a doorman? Yeah. That's not your idea. It is. It isn't. He'd start more fights than he fucking ended.
Starting point is 01:37:15 I wouldn't. You would. What a great response. I wouldn't. I'm not argumentative. Yeah, you are. No, I'm not. I'm quite good at calming situations fuck the fuck off
Starting point is 01:37:26 what do you mean what situations do you calm down all of them like I'm quite chill mate when it's kicking off I'm always like come on
Starting point is 01:37:35 we can sort this out that's how I did my shoulder I was trying to calm my fight down between my little brother and some big cunts might have been dangerous Dave you never know
Starting point is 01:37:42 and that's when I got assaulted I didn't assault anyone back. You're a very calming influence, especially on this podcast. Yeah, should everyone just chill out? Why are we arguing? What has happened? I'm calling myself a thespian and you're lying about being chilled out? What the fuck are you talking about? It does feel like it's kicking off a wee bit.
Starting point is 01:37:58 It's because he's fucking speaking to me like I'm a dickhead. It's kicking off while we're arguing about how we don't kick off. I'm like sitting here like I'm in some sort of gaff at four in the morning going like, I'm taking my meat and go. You're going to have that for tea. You're all right. You're all right.

Starting point is 01:41:29 alright just see it in your eyes you're getting a little bit touchy breathe through it you're really starting to piss me off have a fucking
Starting point is 01:41:36 cha tea you're really starting to do my head in okay good good alright just breathe
Starting point is 01:41:43 you're alright would you rather would you rather would you rather I've never been this pissed off on the podcast would you rather just breathe through it babes you're alright
Starting point is 01:41:51 you can't find a happy place Dubai would you rather finish every unattended glass by the way you have to do one of these
Starting point is 01:41:59 on pain of death you're not eating that shit yeah would you rather finish every unattended glass pint on a table in a bar even if someone's just. Yeah? Would you rather finish every unattended glass pint on a table in a bar, even if someone's just gone to the toilet,
Starting point is 01:42:08 you have to go over and down it, or every time you're out, you're at the bar, and you order a drink. If you hear someone order something else after you, you have to point to them and say, I'll have that instead, and you can't explain why.
Starting point is 01:42:23 So the two options are, you're in a pub and you literally just fucking mind sweep every empty glass around you you're that cunt you're basically the alcoholic
Starting point is 01:42:33 you haven't got a choice or it's called mind sweeping innit yep it's a student move it's called mind sweeping innit yeah you just said it there I just said mind sweeping
Starting point is 01:42:42 wake up lad you've seen Red big time haven't you sometimes when Dan this is the silly section sometimes when Dan's talking because I
Starting point is 01:42:51 sort of like I know like I know the format and that I've got a bit of ADHD so what was happening there
Starting point is 01:42:57 was I was playing an episode of Friends in my head and I missed a bit this is developing as a problem and we've done so many podcasts i read these
Starting point is 01:43:06 out and i just look over and i'm like he's gone he's not there i'm just like we were on a break right or you're at the bar you order your drink but if someone comes up and orders fucking two gin and tonics you're gonna go oh I'll have what they're having. They're your choices. Every single time? Every single time. And when you go to a pub, you mind sweep every time? I think mind sweeping is like, you can't do all the tables because you're just going to get,
Starting point is 01:43:34 unless you take dangerous Dave out every time you go for a booze, you're just going to get twatted, aren't you? Yeah, but the other option of I'll have what they're having, like that is easily explainable. If you order tobacco, I'll have what they're having like that is easily explainable if you're at the bar i'll have a pint of heineken and someone goes i'll have a double gin and tonic and you go i'll have a dead oven because you've just heard it and reminded yourself
Starting point is 01:43:55 that you like a gin and tonic that's explainable but what wouldn't be explainable is if you went to the bar it was like can i have six jager bombs mate and someone comes over and go can i have a glass of water and you go i'll have a dead of water? And you go, I'll have a dare down. That's when it gets a bit fucking ridiculous. I've just put myself in the programme. What would you rather do? Well, like, no joke, I was minesweeping last week in Tenerife. Like, it's not an issue for me, the minesweep. Was it not all-inclusive?
Starting point is 01:44:22 Yeah. Were you doing it anyway literally people going over good mate you can have anything from the bar no it was like end of the night do you know what i mean so it was with slutty suzy cool who's one of the dancers uh he was out there even though it was a family holiday you love these nicknames can we just park for a second if you don't mind slutty suzy and he is one of the dancers yeah yeah all the dancers are you wouldn't call it drag they're just like sort of party boys you know slutty suzy horny heidi naughty nicky but they're all men but they're all men but they're not it's not good enough to be drag right i mean it's just like they're in a dress, they're going to collect
Starting point is 01:45:05 the books and run about he was there anyway, he was like a sort of au pair because on holiday he just came, I was like I'll just come So you took him on holiday to look after your kids? Kinda. Slutty Susie? Yeah but then we got a bit of time to have a few bevs in the night
Starting point is 01:45:21 because the kids were in bed but then even though it was all inclusive, there was restrictions, the early curfew, 11 o'clock. So everyone would be on the terrace of this hotel and everyone would get a big round in just before 11 and then sit there till the early morning.
Starting point is 01:45:39 And then, as people would drop off and we were running out of booze, we'd just go in. That is a valid mind are you saying are you saying when someone's there stealing their drinks no but if they're left over drinks stealing when they go the toilet i do the i'll have what they're having because nine times out of ten you might get something decent yeah and and if you don't sure you can just order something else i wouldn't steal people's drinks if they've've left, I'd drink the dregs.
Starting point is 01:46:05 It's also not very COVID compliant. You steal people's drinks. You know, there's spittle going in there, bit of saliva. Spittle. Spittle. He's looking fine. Look at him.
Starting point is 01:46:13 You'd do that, wouldn't you? What you did in Tenerife, I think is valid mind sweeping. They've gone to bed. They've got like a few glasses on their table. Just go and sweep them Yeah, no I would Especially if it's 11pm and everyone's playing the game
Starting point is 01:46:29 Of like, we're allowed to get as many drinks As we need But after 11 we can't get any So if a table's full of like Half drunk drinks Fuck it, if the game is, I'm gonna stay Yeah, that's alright I can't deny that I'd definitely do that
Starting point is 01:46:43 Because my problem with drinking I can say, I don't want to drink today And I can have two and be like, that's enough, I'm not to stay, yeah, that's all right. I can't deny that I'd definitely do that because my problem with drinking, I can say, oh, I don't want to drink today, and I can have two and be like, that's enough, I'm not having any more. If I've had four or five drinks, I'm going to have a 27th. Do you know what I mean? So if there's the option,
Starting point is 01:46:56 if I've got to the end of my drink and I want to carry on and there's a fucking table of bevvies over there, unattended, no one's going to miss them, I'm having a little fucking... Have you ever done mind sweeping properly though back
Starting point is 01:47:06 like when you were younger I haven't you've never taken like a drink like from a table or something on a night out well I don't do drugs so I'm always worried
Starting point is 01:47:14 that there's gonna be a bit of fucking free whatever in there and I'm gonna end up in oh because I do do drugs I'm the one going there's no MDMA
Starting point is 01:47:22 in that there's no I'm trying to get day raped come on guys like it's no MDMA in that. I'm trying to get day raped. Come on, guys. Like it is. No, it's just, you know, just because you don't do drugs
Starting point is 01:47:30 doesn't mean like mind sweeping's more dangerous. But when we went out, the drinks were that cheap. It didn't fucking matter. We used to go to like places, it was a quid, a bevy. Yeah. It was fucking.
Starting point is 01:47:38 Yeah, imagine stealing, and half drunk bevy, that's like 40p innit? Imagine, I wouldn't pick 40p up off the floor. And I feel like it's the same as that so I never really did it Squires
Starting point is 01:47:48 Squires on a Monday night was 50p a pint back in our college days I remember even we were skin but fucking hell you don't need to minesweep at 50p a pint
Starting point is 01:47:57 I remember walking in the Raz you know the Raz in Liverpool the Blue Angel sticky floor yeah so I went in there sounds like another dance
Starting point is 01:48:04 isn't it I was on like a staff night out not like a staff night out but lads who I worked with in Mackey's we went to watch the footy
Starting point is 01:48:11 and we went in the Blue Angel it was my round and I walked the bar it's fucking grim in there you're literally like it's like it's like fucking SMTV
Starting point is 01:48:19 when the floor's being slimed it's grim a few discs going round it's like I hate love there I went to the bar I went can I have six pints of Carlsberg or whatever it was and she went 5.40 Floor's being slimed. It's grim. A few discs going round, and it's like, God, I love that. I went to buy one, can I have six pints of Carlsberg,
Starting point is 01:48:28 or whatever it was, and she went 5.40, and I went, no, six pints of Carlsberg, 90p a pint. It used to be a coin for the drip trays. You have a pint of drip tray for a coin. I used to have that in the blob shop. What's it called?
Starting point is 01:48:42 Blob shop. On that street. Great Charlotte Street. Yeah yeah when i first came to liverpool i used to go in because the girl the girl i was with at the time she was studying as a thespian in lippa and uh yeah i used to i didn't really do much in the day i was just hanging about and i used to go in there the blob shop and it was 30p for the drip so just take the so they take the drip. You know those big, long drip trays?
Starting point is 01:49:07 Yeah. All of the taps. Everything. A wee mix, a wee bit of Guinness in there. Stella, cider, Guinness. Do you get it in a glass? You don't have to drink it from the fucking drip tray. No, they just pour it in.
Starting point is 01:49:16 Or it's in a bucket. Like it's in a separate thing. Yeah. Just for a laugh, innit? You know what I mean? Just me on my own like that. Lads. The guy who drunk the drip tray
Starting point is 01:49:29 never got laid though, eh? Like, he was not like, ladies. No, this is how the rich stay rich. Bill Gates loves a fucking drip tray because he's not spending fucking three pound a pint.
Starting point is 01:49:40 Jeff Bezos always at the blob shop. Never mind the glass, get the fucking old tray down. He's fucking clever, this lad. That's how the rich stay rich. You know, they see a bargain. Like, they're just there to get pissed, aren't they? It's not all about the flavour.
Starting point is 01:49:54 Yeah, billionaires are just there to get pissed. That's not how I looked at it. I think I only had, like, maybe 60p, so I was like, there's two pints there. Yeah. Baby, you're doing all right now. Fucking makes sense, doesn't it? The offer has a third.
Starting point is 01:50:08 I can't remember what the other option is, but it's basically just losing your mates, isn't it? You would definitely order the thing at the bar. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a bit worried about this serious one. It's actual advice we've got to give here. Are you ready for it?
Starting point is 01:50:20 Yeah, that's fine. Adam and Dan, Lids, long-time listener, first-time email. Due to this being possibly the worst scenario i've ever found myself in i'm gonna get right to it my partner listens to you have a word no no it's advice it's no it's i've got it i've got it this is serious but what if this is really serious fucking jamming my buttons so fucking flippant. Mama like that. Mama like that. Order. Order.
Starting point is 01:50:47 Order. Will you give him more meat, for fuck's sake? Doesn't like it when I touch the buttons. My partner listens to your podcast with me, so he will know it's about him. Oh, Jesus. Oh, I'm gone. His face would be a picture.
Starting point is 01:51:00 I got together with my partner February 2019. He's 32, and I'm 25. I love me an older dude. They bring, oh, mama like that. Mama like that. I like me an older dude. They bring maturity and all that stuff, right? Well, anyway, he's got two kids, two baby moms.
Starting point is 01:51:19 Now, I know you might stop me in my tracks already, but this is common these days, broken families, et cetera. Open mind, I gave it, being the nonjudgmental person that I am. But to put it bluntly, the baby mommas are both fucking nightmares. They play habit with whether or not we can have the kids. I've tried really hard to be sound to them, helping out with childcare, but they're an absolute pain in the neck. Okay, boring shit over.
Starting point is 01:51:42 I've painted the picture. Three weeks ago. It came out that he has cheated on me and it turns out he's been sleeping with one of the baby mamas for 10 months at the beginning of our relationship. He said, basically it was easy. She was always there. And as soon as they realized they were in love, he stopped it. Uh, and she's put, wow, typing this out. Fuck sake. Now my my question is can I really accept that it was just sex can it really be just sex with someone you've had a child with or do I need to take
Starting point is 01:52:12 my muggy muggins cap off and be rid I can't escape this woman it's a baby mama for as long as I want my partner in my life she will always be there please take into account that this man lay with me near enough every night and told me
Starting point is 01:52:26 neither of them were anything to worry about. It took the entire relationship to tell me. Please help. Your brutal honesty is what this chick needs. I don't know if it's plain obvious,
Starting point is 01:52:37 but my type of personality just doesn't know ever when to do the right thing or what the right thing is. Cheers, lids. Don't hold back. Whoa. Serious sandwich hold back. Whoa. Jeez.
Starting point is 01:52:47 Serious sandwich, that. Oh, my God. So has she got kids with her? I think what we should say, yeah, is just do what you feel, love. You know what I mean? Just do what you feel. And if the guy who listens to the podcast, if you're a Patreon, you do what you feel, lad.
Starting point is 01:53:01 And that's my advice. Just both do what you feel. There's the fucking businessman coming out. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. He listens to the podcast. Is he a patron? Wind your fucking neck in love. He pays the subscription.
Starting point is 01:53:13 He's all right. First of all, I mean, you're spot on about the older guys. Oh, yeah. So she's a wise woman. You can tell. Yeah, but there's a difference between older and old. So don't get your fucking dick to him. All right, okay, good.
Starting point is 01:53:25 Has she got kids with him? No. No, no. Oh, but there's a difference between older and old, so don't get your fucking dick to Manchester. All right, okay, good. Has she got kids with him? No. No, no. Oh, so there's not many ties. So he's got two kids to separate mums. Oh, okay. So there's two baby mommas. And it's just come out that he's slept with one of them
Starting point is 01:53:38 for the first ten months of the relationship, and they've been together nearly two years. Can we have a guest ruling what do you think um i reckon she's probably a crank as well to be honest how have we not had this man on already the meat the advice the dancer nicknames no just on the on the, you know, fair enough, he's in the wrong. If he's done the dirt, you do the dirt, you're in the wrong.
Starting point is 01:54:11 Yeah. But, you know, I don't know, just the wording of it was a bit, like... Suspicious. She's saying, oh, these other girls are, like, absolute cranks. But she's written into a podcast that she knows that he listens to to call him out on it hoping that yous will be like what a fucking dickhead which he probably is a fucking dickhead if he's cheated on her but she is also a dickhead for doing that know what i mean yeah no no no you know i'm i'm actually what they know what they need to do is um you
Starting point is 01:54:42 know talk it out and just enjoy the delicious taste of sugar pit bacon. You know what you need to do? You need to cook up a nice tea from a butcher's in Moira. 140 degrees, two hours, and then rest for 20 minutes and job done. Don't let your man be either horny or hungry because there's always somewhere a slag with a butty. He's a, especially in tier two, with a butty. He's a... Especially in tier 2. He's a shagger, innit?
Starting point is 01:55:10 This old boy's a shagger. I don't know about that. He doesn't shag, he lays with people. That's what it says. He lay with me. Do you lay with me, sir? She's a thespian. Does thou lay with me? What sort of bedfellow are you, sir?
Starting point is 01:55:26 He's a shagger, though, isn't he? I don't actually think he is. Two baby mamas, two kids fucking the baby mama. He could have only ever slept with three people, and that is possible. Yeah, that's coming across, isn't it? He's only had sex three times. I've got to give him the benefit of the doubt here.
Starting point is 01:55:43 No, you don't. No, here's the thing. Here's my weigh-in, okay? Okay, good. I'm almost there with Johnny, right? I think... Ooh! It's hard, this, because, you know, he's a fan of the pod.
Starting point is 01:55:55 I think... It's loaded. They're both fans, aren't they? It's weird. I think the fact that she's written in, she's doing it for two things. First of all, she wants us to tell him to fuck off. Right?
Starting point is 01:56:07 She wants, because they've had murder about this, right? And he's being like, look, it happens sometimes, you know, there's still feelings there from when you were together,
Starting point is 01:56:15 you need to fucking calm. It stopped after 10 months. You need to lay somewhere. Gravity's a nightmare. Yo, it stopped after 10 months. We've been together two years. That's 14 months love I haven't been fucking near
Starting point is 01:56:27 apart from that one time after that night out but you know what I mean I've hardly ever gone back after that 10 months and you need to fucking chill out and she's gone you're a fucking dickhead
Starting point is 01:56:35 and he's gone no I've and she's gone I've fucking you know what every one of your mates will think you're a dickhead they fucking wouldn't
Starting point is 01:56:41 and she's gone I know who think he's a fucking dickhead Adam and Dan and I do I think he's i know i think he's a fucking dickhead adam and dan and i do i think he's fucked up i think he's probably got those 10 months in started catching feelings for this new girl and gone this needs to stop because i want that to go somewhere i do think he's done that but he's also hid it and he's a shaggy if i here, if I'm here, I could never get past that. So I would be Homer Simpson into the bush and staying in there.
Starting point is 01:57:10 T-1000. I reckon you'll get a part two to that. I reckon if they both watch, he'll write back his version. Oh, yeah. And I'll let you know if she, because I've just called her a crank. You know, if I get like a message request on Instagram or something going, you're fucking thick. Like, why did you call me a crank? She's a crank then, and I'll let you know. Do you know what? get like a message request on instagram or something going you're fucking thick like why did you call me a crank she's a crank then and i'll let you know i don't
Starting point is 01:57:28 you know what i don't think she is i think it's the tone of the pod it's this kind of shit we talk about and she it's clever in a way it's also putting all your shit out there on online it's not easy but she's like obviously pissed off but it is a sneaky very 2020 way of getting in your partner's head in it oh you've done that who do you really like and respect that podcast well i'm gonna fucking snitch to them and they're gonna say what they think but i just like i i know he's a listener but when has he been banging her like when is it gonna stop as well it's not like he got i will never see her again no no no i know i banged her again but you know like i pick up the kid from hers and he's playing lego and i'm like she's here i might as
Starting point is 01:58:11 well bang her again like it's always gonna be there in it she's never gonna be able to know that he's going to pick that kid up and nothing's happened let me smell your dick do you know what i mean like every time he's it with that baby or with like i've got to go and pick him up if he's like if she lives 20 minutes away and he's 23 and a half minutes getting there and back she's gonna be like what were you doing with that three and a half minutes we were just talking about you know the kids schooling yeah yeah with your fucking dick out your rat every every Where were you? McDonald's. Oh, where are you? I want to see a fucking McFlurry pot.
Starting point is 01:58:49 Like it's going to be constant. My honest verdict on this is I think it's totally possible that he realised 10 months in he was being an absolute cunt, which he was, and that he stopped, and that it'll never happen again. I think that's possible. I don't think it's necessarily very likely, but I think it's possible.
Starting point is 01:59:10 And I think it could happen. However, I think, you know, to paraphrase Beyonce from the song Telephone with Lady Gaga, trust is like a mirror, and once it's broke, you can still see the cracks in it, even if you glk back together. How is it possible for you to surprise me at this point of our working relationship?
Starting point is 01:59:32 Yeah, look, I think... It's because he's such a calming influence, and he just can quote... I'm just trying to chill everyone out, okay? I think... I'm lost, like I've been doing episodes of Friends in my head. Johnny's like, she's a crank, play a song. Lady Gaga telephoned.
Starting point is 01:59:49 I was like, oh, I'm gone here. What's going on? Yeah, I think... I think you'll get a response from the guy. I think it's unfair. There's no point in just like, batting about unless he gets to tell his side of the story. Yeah, that's waiting until we get both sides
Starting point is 02:00:02 and then we'll fuck him. Johnny Bongo now said to develop content. This is a fucking great point. That's the way to do it. Then he comes back, and then you get them in as guests, you know, like surprise guests. Can we bring...
Starting point is 02:00:14 You've got fucking curtains there, they pop out. You could beat them in Jeremy Kyle. We need Dangerous Dave. Can we lend... Can we lend Dangerous Dave? You can, yeah. Because Creepy Carl's not going to do the job, is he?
Starting point is 02:00:24 Whoa. Non-C-Dan and fucking Calm Adam. Cunning not going to do the job, is he? Whoa. Non-C-Dan and fucking Calm Adam. Cunning Linguist Carl. Yes, thank you, Adam. Not nothing funny. You're a cunning and you're good with words. We got it! We got it, Adam!
Starting point is 02:00:38 And both. Call me! Yeah, I think that's over. And whether you admit it now that it's over or in a year, it's done and it's not coming back. I'm sorry to both of you, but it's time to move on. And lad, when you get me your next one, don't be banging your ex behind the back
Starting point is 02:00:58 because it'll always fuck it up. Soz. Soz. That's my... Adam's ruling. Another, oh no, really serious one. Soz Soz That's my Adam's ruling Another Oh no Really serious one Alright
Starting point is 02:01:09 Yari Lidmanans Your celeb crush's head Would you rather Your celeb Celeb crush's head On your mum's body Or Your mum's head
Starting point is 02:01:18 On your celeb crush's body You've got to bang one Would you rather I would bang My celeb crush's head on my mars body because i don't ever want to look into my mars eyes while i'm coming just turn around this one's for you mom hashtag got too soon yeah that's you can't look at your mom's face while you're fit like you wouldn't finish would you yeah yeah i know it's audible and it's a would
Starting point is 02:01:42 you rather for a reason because it's look look, he looks fucking petrified. What are you going for, Johnny? Also, what makes, Johnny, what makes this, both of our mums are dead.
Starting point is 02:01:53 Oh, is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. So mine is a,
Starting point is 02:01:56 a dead 45 year old ginger woman on the body of Scarlett Johansson and that's not a good look, is it? What about your ma, are they fittest? So like, she was like 23.
Starting point is 02:02:09 You know what I mean? Plump. Doing a Robert De Niro impression. Oh mum, that really got me going. It's either my mum or Robert De Niro I don't know Would you shag Robert De Niro's head on your mum's body? No
Starting point is 02:02:34 There needs to be one of them as a good thing That's why this would you rather works Carl that was a nightmare to answer that one I'm going to go Nah I'm alright You've both got to answer this would you rather words? Carl, that was a nightmare to answer that one. I'm going to go, no, I'm all right. I'm all right. You've both got to answer this would you rather, by the way. I put the bullet there and I went for it.
Starting point is 02:02:51 I don't want to look at my ma. I'd rather have her tits than her face. How can you argue with that theory? Johnny's out. It's dark. I'm going to go Celeb Crush Head. Yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:03:08 Same reason. Same reason. Yeah. It is good clarity of thought there. Yeah, because that could not be your Mars body, do you know what I mean? Yeah. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:03:18 That's definitely that. Yeah. Without sounding too morbid, but would you not maybe want to spend time with your mum for a wee bit? Is that really deep and dark? Genius. But I've got to fuck her at the end of it. But at least, like, I don't know the circumstances with your mothers
Starting point is 02:03:34 and I don't know if that's, like, too heavy, but... Look away! I'm also feeling a wee bit emotional because you get to see them for a bit. Yeah, that's a good point, actually. Here's another one. Would you rather never see your mum again or you get to spend a day with her but you's a good point actually here's another one would you rather never see your mom again or you get to spend a day with her you have to fuck her at the end of it
Starting point is 02:03:48 god i wish this was a patreon uh come on answer the question um yeah i think the day i think the day i think the day might be slightly overshadowed by how the evening comes to an end. It's really awkward, both with an open bottle. What if you get one of the way first? Like, reverse it? Yeah, so you bang her, but then you get the day with her. So you finish, and then you're like, let me tell you what I've been up to for the last 20 years.
Starting point is 02:04:22 How's heaven? What's God like? Well, it was quite good until you dragged me down here, mate. Heaven was fucking great until you started doing a Would You Rather with Johnny Bongo and Adam Rowell. Yeah. Look, I'd love to see me mad again,
Starting point is 02:04:40 but I don't think I could fuck her. I don't think so. Fact. No context, have a word. Enjoy that one. Yeah. You'd never get over that, would you? They're both up there now.
Starting point is 02:04:51 Not getting fucked. They wake upstairs. Do you get banged in heaven? If you want to. Heaven, in my opinion, is whatever your idea of heaven is. And hell is whatever your idea of hell is. Your ma's therefore getting banged in. What?
Starting point is 02:05:04 Your ma's therefore getting banged banging. What? Your ma's death will get them banging. You reckon? Yeah. Yeah. My ma loved the idea. She's up there. Are you a man of faith,
Starting point is 02:05:11 Johnny? That's what I think though. I think heaven is like purpose built for each person. So if you go, like the spiritual side of it is, if you go and your idea of heaven is you want to see your mum
Starting point is 02:05:30 and just have a nice time with your mum, then your mum's essence would be in your idea of heaven. But if she doesn't want to see you, she doesn't see that. So it's like there's two versions. Yeah, like, Piers Morgan isn't in my heaven. I'm not saying he's going to hell. It's not like he gets his heaven and I get mine without fucking Piers Morgan
Starting point is 02:05:52 twatting about like a big fucking ball. If your idea of heaven had Piers Morgan in, yours would have him in, but his wouldn't have yours in. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? It's a personalised VAR. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:06:04 And hell is just me on the phone trying to cancel my sky just forever forever just listening to some guy who doesn't give a shit about my problems
Starting point is 02:06:13 whatsoever oh your internet's not working oh I'll just put you down hold for an hour and a half they definitely just go and have a little blast of FIFA for a bit ding ding ding
Starting point is 02:06:20 ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding Johnny what's your idea of hell? This is on the phone. Just that wee song that you were in. What was that wee song?
Starting point is 02:06:32 Someone shared a meme of it the other day, and it was like, me, I'll get an early night, my brain at 4am. Mine's Downton Abbey on repeat. I fucking hate period dramas wow
Starting point is 02:06:46 what a nightmare hell that is literally you've just named you've just basically described all pensioners lives as hell
Starting point is 02:06:54 exactly they do live in hell though pensioners it's not good is it I'm terrified of getting old I think I think it looks terrifying
Starting point is 02:07:02 because you're 28 and you've got a life to live but by then you're like I don't have anything to do no that's kind of what they want in permanent lockdown do you know i mean they've been in lockdown for years if you hadn't told old people there was a pandemic going on they wouldn't fucking know about it i mean the only reason they know that there's a pandemic coming on is that jeff stopped coming round because he was taken out by it what's your feelings of getting old Johnny how old are you?
Starting point is 02:07:30 34 it's weird how turning 30 gets in your head a little bit doesn't it I really felt invincible all through my 20s and 30 is a weird milestone where you're like god that sounds dead grown up and then it just starts

Starting point is 02:09:43 I kind of don't have to not do anything but you know like when it's about i kind of don't have to not do anything but you know like when it's about the decision you don't have to not do anything like she's picked all the right kind of stuff do you know like their diet and what to do and like the routine and you know yeah i'll just go i know what she says is probably like the kind of good thing you're like the fourth official she tells you what numbers are put on the board and you just hold it up being a dad sometimes i i love being a dad and i'm involved but it feels like you are a part-time member of staff and your wife is like the ceo and fucking general manager of the whole thing and like why i did your wife my wife read up on everything and then was like have you read those things and i
Starting point is 02:10:20 hadn't and she she tested me on it she was like you haven't read anything I was like no I have I have and she was like right so how often do you feed the baby and I paused I was like oh I'm under so much pressure every two hours
Starting point is 02:10:31 she went right well you've got lucky there yeah that's right fucking testing me to I won't be having that me my wife or partner or whatever if they're like

Starting point is 02:11:02 like when everyone's tired and the pressure's on and everyone's feeling a little bit emotionally fraught, you're going, no, love, I've done my own reading. I know your nipples are sore, but I think this is how you get the baby on the teat. There's a lot you've got to just roll with. Yeah, that's an area of expertise. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:11:22 So what are you talking about specifically? What's your expertise? Fussy boots. Fussy boots. Yeah. Oh, because a lot of wives will just have an argument area of expertise do you know what I mean so what are you talking about specifically what's your expertise footy boots footy boots yeah oh because a lot of wives will just have an argument in JD
Starting point is 02:11:30 sports going no Adam I want him to have Astro I just can't be having someone being like oh he's not having McDonald's till he's
Starting point is 02:11:36 seven it's his third birthday get him a happy meal put him in front of the telly what's the problem you're having an argument with someone
Starting point is 02:11:42 that doesn't exist and isn't having his argument with yeah but think of his kids They just want a Maccies I just want my kids to be happy I'm going to be the best dad ever Here you go
Starting point is 02:11:52 Happy child I've learnt that because I was kind of like that Just before even we went on holiday My oldest son Alex 3 Hasn't had a Maccies Well he did have one in Spain And he never really has, like, loads of sweets. And I was kind of thinking, like, we're being really sly on him.
Starting point is 02:12:10 You know, there's other kids having fucking Haribo left, right and centre. And then when we were away and the sort of rules got a bit more relaxed, I was fucking giving him Kinder Eggs and everything. And my missus was like, yeah, go for it. You know, we're on holiday. And he was a fucking nightmare. That's the first time I've ever, like, you know, he's been a bit of a brat.
Starting point is 02:12:28 I'm thinking, should have just stuck the blueberries and bananas and stuff like that for him. Oh, because he's just, like, insulin spiked off his mind. He just fucking went nuts. And now he's come back from the holiday, and I'm like, here's nice grapes. He's just like, where's the fucking good stuff? See, here's the thing.
Starting point is 02:12:43 Daddy, I know you got the good shit. What's up in that fucking top drawer? I know you got a bit of plastic that gets all the good shit. Let's go to co-op. Where's the fucking good stuff? See, here's the thing. Daddy, I know you got the good shit. What's up in that fucking top drawer? I know you got a bit of plastic that gets all the good shit. Let's go to co-op. Where's the kinders? Look, I get it. I understand that you fill a kid full of sugar. It's like putting a fucking battery in a Joris L. Bunny
Starting point is 02:12:55 and off they go. I get it, okay? But I know that I'm going to settle in Liverpool and I know that my kid... I'm probably settling in West Derby or nearby and that means my kid will go to a school, either my school or a similar school, Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School. And I can't handle my kid being bullied.
Starting point is 02:13:12 I just can't, right? I want my kid to be the normal kid. He's got three or four good mates. I don't want him to be a bully. I just want him to be one of the normal kids, okay? Where does sweets come into this? Because if your kid in Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School pulls out some fucking blueberries at break time,
Starting point is 02:13:28 they're getting fucking battered. That's all. I want them to just be like, I want a hot dog. I have a hot dog, like everyone else says. Don't be the guy going, well, actually, they're really bad for your metabolism. Tristan, Tristan, you haven't finished your quinoa.
Starting point is 02:13:40 Yeah, I can't, like, I want my kids to be exactly who they want to be. But while they're in school, you just need to be a normal lad, play a bit of footy, you know? You need to be down in the middle in school, don't you? Yeah. You don't want to be hard or the bully.
Starting point is 02:13:54 You don't want to be a ming. You want to fly right through the middle. Yeah, but you also don't want type 2 diabetes. That is something to keep an eye on as well. Yeah, I want them to be normal. I don't want them to be Mr. Sweets turning up like, Hey!
Starting point is 02:14:09 These are all for me! I want them to be normal i don't want them to be mr sweets turning up like hey these are all for me i want them to be the selling the sweets like i did i want to pass on the family business i sold sweets on the yard at school you my dad did as well you know like me like your granddad did yeah yeah yeah and then he'll pass it on to him yeah yeah this is true actually i don't know i've told you this before there was a lad who sold the people selling on the yard in your school? Yeah, sherberts, isn't it? Yeah. Sherbert sticks. Yeah, so the big thing in our school was big bars. Great practice for cocaine dealing one day.
Starting point is 02:14:32 A little bit of white. White pudding as well, and black pudding. Hang on. Just meat products, isn't it? Clonacilty black pudding, mate. I'm only winding you up, mate. I thought kids on the yard, do you want a bit of fucking breakfast? So I used to sell big bars at Galaxy. Black Puddin' mate I'm only winding you up mate I thought kids on the island trying to get a
Starting point is 02:14:45 fucking breakfast so I used to sell big bars at Galaxy Orange Lucas Aids and packs of Disco's Crisp and I was like the one people
Starting point is 02:14:54 came to when the big guy had sold out because he sold out quite quick and his name should be coming in first name
Starting point is 02:15:00 so there was a big guy and then you were the little guy so there was like a Morrison's and you were the corner shop yeah yeah see coming from
Starting point is 02:15:07 I'm partially I never bought off you yeah because I was closer to Jack Jack Heelan well I wasn't going to talk about Jack oh you were going to talk about Fabian
Starting point is 02:15:16 Fabian see he was too fucking maverick for me him but you know what I mean no I've gone as well I know you've gone but I've gone as well
Starting point is 02:15:24 so there was a lad called Fabian. We're on memory lane. It's called the Cindy path. And he sold like four times as much as I did. So I made about 25 quid a day profit. 24 quid exactly. I used to spend 11 quid on the project. I'd come home with 35 quid,
Starting point is 02:15:37 24 quid profit every single day of the week in school. Fabian would go home like 100 quid a day, right? He was genuinely, there was rumors he was genuinely there was rumours he was paying the rent on his his ma's house
Starting point is 02:15:48 and everything the rumours you're 11 now Fabian but this is the thing come on I've got the lecky pill this is the god's honest truth right
Starting point is 02:15:55 so you know like how in school there's like sort of legends of the kids gone before you'd hear about kids who aren't at the school anymore this
Starting point is 02:16:04 I swear to god, this is true. So this was about, how long ago was this? About seven years ago? Yeah. Right? I'm walking down my dad's close. I was living with my dad at the time in Liverpool. And there was these two kids walking down my dad's street.
Starting point is 02:16:17 And they'd been to B&M. And they had loads of fucking cans of Pepsi and bags of crisps and chocolate. A bag over each shoulder both of them right and you just hear a little snippet of a conversation
Starting point is 02:16:28 and one of them said to the other yeah there's a legendary seller from Cardinal Hayden his name was Fabian and he bought a Ferrari in year nine
Starting point is 02:16:37 that's the gods on the street I remember texting him going lad you'll never believe it so the legend of Fabian, he made it under a quid a day, paid his Mars or whatever.
Starting point is 02:16:47 That's been passed on down the year. Because this is like seven years ago, I was 21. So I'm five years out of school. Fabian was in our year. He lived around the corner from me growing up. And yeah, apparently. Jack bought a motorbike and a watch in year 11.
Starting point is 02:17:02 Imagine what that lie is doing now. Another God knows how many, like another eight years. Imagine what that lie's doing now. Another, God knows how much, like another eight years. Yeah, yeah, you know Tesla. You bought fucking Tesla in year 10, mate. Is that a podcast?
Starting point is 02:17:15 What have we got more stuff? Should we do a Have a Word as it's the name of the podcast? We haven't done one of them yet, have we? Stop fucking pressing my buttons, you rat. I'm going to have a word with Adam and Dan. We tell us all the problems you have with your friends. This was going to be the whole podcast.
Starting point is 02:17:31 Now it's just the final 10%. Very professional. It's been a bit of a messy one, Johnny. Even by our standards, this has been a messy one. I've enjoyed it. And I think I'm going to lean into it a little bit more with this have a word. Are you prepared? Because there's been points where you've looked a little bit like, I've enjoyed it. And I think I'm going to lean into it a little bit more with this have a word. Are you prepared? Because there's been points
Starting point is 02:17:45 where you've looked a little bit like, I came with meat. It's just hard sometimes to just keep up with what's going on. Says the man who runs a fucking disco bingo. I know, but I mean, there's a lot. It goes from topic to topic very quick. And I'm still, you know, dealing
Starting point is 02:18:01 with the whole fucking your mum's head thing. Yeah. That even by our standards, that was like a little bit of an eye opener. This is a have a word. So we're just trying to help out. You know, people got issues. And again, me and my mates were chatting the other night and this sparked a debate and nearly a row between us.
Starting point is 02:18:24 We were talking about shagging and the lasses brought up how jizz tastes. They all said it tastes gross, to which I said, well, I've never tried mine, so I don't know the issue. This was met with uproar from about three quarters of both the lads and lasses saying that I should try my own nut so I would know. Only one of my mates was on my side about how fucking gross that is, trying your own juice. Imagine there's some cunt out there trying to perfect his own recipe.
Starting point is 02:18:55 Lads, have a word with my mates and how gross this is. Cheers, Anonymous. What do you reckon? It's gross, but I think most people are lying if they've never had a wee taste. What? I fucking love Johnny Pongo.
Starting point is 02:19:13 It's not fucking breast milk, Johnny. No, no, no. I'm not talking about a pint. You know what I mean? I'm talking about I'm just talking about a little How are you fucking chaining that out for? I'm just talking about a little... Like...
Starting point is 02:19:26 How are you ingesting it? I don't even think it's an ingesting thing. Johnny, a little bit like... What's it on? Is it on the wall? Just on a gum. It's on your hand or something, isn't it? Mad.
Starting point is 02:19:40 Never. Have a word with me then. No, Johnny, I've... I think have you done it no I'm I'm not leaving him I'm not saying
Starting point is 02:19:48 I am not leaving him to hang like that because in my head I was like I have in my life gone yeah that's all I'm saying
Starting point is 02:19:57 yeah I was I was gonna go yeah it's fucking gross but as I can't leave Johnny who's done the honourable
Starting point is 02:20:04 have a word thing of going, fuck, balls out. We're talking about mum's heads on Scarlett Johansson. But yeah. I'm just talking about a taste. Not a shot. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:20:15 Not even ingesting it. Not a sharing platter. Just like, I don't know, you do with a little bit of mustard or something. Do you know what I mean? Oh, is that mustard too hot? Yes. Let me just have a look at this meat.
Starting point is 02:20:31 Right, I can't bear the thought of that. I just think you're lying if you say you've never done that. No, well, look, right, if you'd listened to every episode of this, you know, you would know by, there's no reason for me to lie because of the things I've admitted to on this podcast so I'm not lying, I've never tasted it, it disgusts me the idea of it and once I got kicked out
Starting point is 02:20:52 of a girl's house because I'd finished Insider and then she asked me to go down there and I was like absolutely not, you're full of my nut and she was like what the fuck? So you can't get on board with this.
Starting point is 02:21:09 It's your thing. Because she'd sucked me off at the start of the banging. And then she was like, you know, I haven't finished yet. And I was like, I'll fucking get it on my hand. I've got magic fingers. But I'm not fucking tongue-punching box right while it's full of my goo well i think that should be on your headstone just uh it is i have i've done that with it there was a yeah i've had a girl go go on then a girl in newcastle was about 21 21 and she was like she was from Brighton
Starting point is 02:21:45 and I remember she was like really like she talked like that and then I in her mouth and she was like
Starting point is 02:21:52 do you want to taste it and you're like no that's not how this works I'm finishing the girl's mouth and she went to kiss me and I was like hey
Starting point is 02:22:00 what as long as it's not there anymore no it was there it was all over their face like she just you know when the kids What? As long as it's not there anymore. No. It was there. It was all over her face. Like she just... You know when a kid's had chocolate that it's just not bad?
Starting point is 02:22:10 It's just so graphic. You know when a kid's just like... Yeah, no, but if it's gone... She's like, come here. Absolutely not. You can kiss it if it's gone, though. You're not that... Yeah, after a couple of minutes.
Starting point is 02:22:19 If she's swallowed it, yeah. What's the big issue, though? It's just not... I'm homophobic. I think it's weird. It's not homoph yeah. What's the big issue, though? It's just not... I'm homophobic. I think it's weird. It's not homophobic. It's yours. I don't want cum in me...
Starting point is 02:22:30 Nobody cares. Do you know what I mean, at least? Like, you'll... You've got a bit of madness to you. Do you know what I mean? Like, I reckon a girl would like that more. You know, kiss me. And you might be thinking in your head,
Starting point is 02:22:43 oh, fuck, no, I don't want to do that. But then if you just go, yeah, fucking right. Then they'll be like, whoa, he's mad. I would rather.
Starting point is 02:22:49 Does that make any sense? I really want to drink with this guy. This guy. I would rather. Just fucking do it. What are you fucking drinking though? Yeah, I can't.
Starting point is 02:22:55 I'd rather like just take the bins out, get around that way. Do you know what I mean? I'll do the bins every week, but keep my cum to yourself. Is that the trade off? I feel like that's a big like your imaginings of how like married life is gonna go like listen he's not having a
Starting point is 02:23:10 mcdonald's and if i'm jizzing i'm fucking you're doing the bins like yeah like i'll i'll do more chores so that i don't have to taste my own cum i just mean you're a bit of a stickler really in that in the bedroom no i'm adventurous, to be honest with you. I like, you know, slapping each other about and that, but I just don't want to taste my own produce. Don't mind throwing a donkey punch in, if she's asked nicely. I did it. I knew what, like, we've already had a weird one,
Starting point is 02:23:42 and then I lent into it with the old jizz-tasted. Like, I can't, look, I just, no. Okay. No, no. But yeah, I'll do the dishes, I'll take the bins out, you know. That's not the trade-off. What kind of pornography are you watching? And I'll put it away.
Starting point is 02:23:56 Would you pick your nose and eat it? Yeah, all the time. What's the problem then? It's just more of yourself, isn't it? It's just yourself. No, because this isn't a dick. Famously. Would you drink a pint of piss?
Starting point is 02:24:09 No. Not again. Just for like to be mad. Have you drank piss? Piss, yeah. Just a taste. Do you know what I'm saying? When bongos bingo goes really weird.
Starting point is 02:24:20 Those late night ones in Dubai. No, I can't like, I can't recall a time, but I'm sure I've tried a little bit of piss at some point. Sure. Yeah. I'm putting it into the argument about, I just don't think you should worry about a bit of your own jizz. Someone else's jizz, maybe that's a bit of an issue.
Starting point is 02:24:39 That would be a bit more off-putting, but. It's organic, homegrown. Would you have piss as well? No. No. Just going back in, know where it came out of, innit have piss as well no no it's just going back in know where it came out of in it it's just a bit of a laugh in it just do it come on i think that this question was about having a word with someone that like just was saying like you shouldn't taste it whereas now i'm really like saying now you have to do it everyone needs to do it that's what goes really well with that fucking
Starting point is 02:25:08 bacon red yeah all i was all i was saying is i think most people have done it i think in a group of a group of mates everyone was like oh well you've not tasted it you're allowed to be like no no you're not meant to but you know like that reaction is like the full-on, like, I just can't. It's just not for me. Just give it a go, and then next time on the pod, tell us. You give it a go. Part two.
Starting point is 02:25:32 Part two of, like, the cheating partner. We'll find out, and then we'll see what, you know, homework. I think we're going to noticeably see one listener drop off. Have you got any other butchers you'd like to promote before you go? No, I just thought we could all have a game of Soggy Biscuit or whatever that was called Is that a real thing?
Starting point is 02:25:52 Soggy Brisket Oh, here it is Thank you You're not even getting a Kobe for that Where can everyone find you?

And we're starting to get a bit of that ourselves, aren't we? Ha, ha, ha. We didn't talk about Camp Inferno, and that was juicy. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:26:55 That's a big, long story. You can have me back for the Camp Inferno's lawsuit scoop. Got in a big lawsuit with the venue that we did in Liverpool. Over who owned Bongo's Bingo. They tried to say that in Liverpool. Over who owned Bongo's Bingo? They tried to say that they owned and invented and created Bongo's Bingo. It was good. Is there an abridged version?
