In short

The Friday Club episode is a chaotic, audio-only hangout recorded in Atlanta, mixing travel mishaps, World Cup/Argentina fan banter, and a long “what would you put in the bin?” segment. They also debate cheating/sex-toy hypotheticals, household pranks (empty snack pockets), and share anonymous sexual/relationship stories.

Guests

No named guests. The hosts are the Friday Club regulars (including “Kate” and “Rose” mentioned during logistics), plus multiple anonymous Speak-Pipe/email contributors.

Guest backgrounds (from the episode)

  • Speak-pipe/email contributors include: a Blackburn Rovers fan (“Simon”/“Brownie” mentions), a festival attendee in Glasgow (“Tin”), and several anonymous callers with personal stories (teenage sex mishap; ex-girlfriend “Nelly” with an intense sex drive; a “midget”/judo-wrestling partner story).
  • A “Ryan” message about a New York trip and World Cup night out.

Key claims

  • “Bin” rules: submissions need two votes to be binned.
  • Lollipop people should not stop traffic for adults.
  • Empty snack pockets in cupboards are infuriating; pranks can be “good crack.”
  • The Haaland/sex-toy debate: whether it’s “cheating” depends on context and plausibility.

Notable examples

  • Teen caught by girlfriend’s mum during oral sex; later engagement/marriage success.
  • “Tin” story: festival fling with a legally “midget” partner, sex toys, and a drunk voice-note mistake.
  • “Nelly” story: breakup attempt blocked; ends with continued sex and “cold feet”/“slow” revelation.

0:04Hey hey! It's the Friday Club The weekend's here, get in that pub It's Friday Club Bing bang bosh With all of your favourites from under the cuss So if you want to share a story Or relive a formidory Futter the wheat or clapping them cheeks Maybe you got caught by the mother-in-law Having a wank It's all here on the Friday Club

0:30It's all here on the Friday Club Can we start straight off the bat with a speak pipe? Gosh, we can I have to say the response has been remarkable. Thank you, everyone who sent us a message, but I can't agree more with this one, to be honest with you. Yeah. Hi, guys. Please can you bin off talking about football on the Friday Club? I know you've got your other little podcast where you invite your visitors on and your guests and stuff, and you talk about it there, and that's fine, because I can choose not to listen to those. But less football chat on the Friday Club. sincerely every female listener who does not give a flying fuck about football.

1:08Thank you. Bye. Bye. I'm happy to go with that one. Yeah, we'll go with that for just this one episode. We might speak about it at a later point. Oh, we should just mention we've no video and that's because, well, we're audio only because we're coming from Georgia. Atlanta. We're in the Embassy Suites. Atlanta Galleria. Which sounds a lot nicer than what it is, I'll be honest with you. Don't be so harsh. It's not too bad, but Embassy Suites. Yeah, Embassy sounds like it's a bit important. Almost regal. Yeah. It's been chaotic. 48 hours. Do you want to do a little breakdown? Yeah, I'll do it from my perspective.

1:56I left the house at 9.20 on Thursday morning to get a train from Wakefield Westgate to London to record a podcast at 1am. It was definitely Tuesday. 1pm. What did I say? Thursday. I'm all over the shop. Tuesday. Left to record a podcast at 1pm. At 5.30pm, I'm on a shitting Norwegian flight to Atlanta. We've defied all odds. We've rebelled against the fund prevention officers back home. And we're here. By the way, I don't think you're a phone prevention officer, Kate. No, Rose Ray. Louise, you fucking... I am not tarnishing... You horrible bastard, Louise. I am not tarnishing you with that brush.

2:46The fact that you've not changed the locks is an absolute miracle, Kate. I think you're sound, love. Sound. So from our perspective, we got giddy on the train, didn't we? See, I don't think it would have happened if I'd have been on the train with you. We are obviously on a different train to y 'all, weren't we? Yeah, you'd have been there. Matt is already in London. You'd have been the middle ground, I think. I'd have been like, lads, come on. I'll get married in a bit. Come on, lads. Come on, lads. Don't do it to me. I had my internal voice of reason saying it's ridiculous. And then you kept chipping in with it's the World Cup semi-final, Chris.

3:23Once in a lifetime opportunity. Against Argentina. Messi's last ever World Cup game, I give it. Yeah, you did. obviously that went well so we were moving heaven enough to try and find flights all the way down and we we have to apologise because there was a late flight and then that moved forward so after we booked the flight we then it was 5.30 we had to be at the airport we had to cancel the podcast which I feel terrible about and yeah went straight to Gatwick and here we are in Atlanta yeah this is what single lads do you know what I mean this is not what married men do and being with families and stuff they would just go to work one day and it's 15 hours later in Atlanta 72 hours yeah yeah I got a very frosty reception I apologise to my wife my children yeah we land well this will be coming out Friday land half 11 Friday and I'm straight to the Irish and country music festival You had a fucking better man than me.

4:28So the locks could be changed. So if you are going to the festival, I might need a livener. It's a tequila or something. I think I'd rather go straight to prison than go to the Irish festival all the weekend. We're not talking about the football. We all know what happened. But I will say, I've seen a lot of stuff online, people saying about the Argentine contingent within the ground being a bit aggressive. The ones around us, I thought they were sound. We were in the lion's den as well, weren't we? We played the game, didn't we? We celebrated and they were sound, and then when they celebrated, you can't then just start fucking throwing your toys out at pram, can you?

5:09They were a handy firm, weren't they? I said to you before, they're a thick set. They are, aren't they? Just meaty. Yeah, they've got dense bones. It's that Argentinian steak they eat, isn't it? Yeah. Must be that. Is it Wagyu? I don't know. Is that it? But there was handshakes and hugs at the end. It's a game of football. I think my next hug might be a week on Saturday. If I'm perfectly honest. At the altar? Yep. And even that's questionable. He's one for you. There's been a huge debate online. Some fellas tweeted a picture of his missus' sex toys. And there's pictures of Erland Harland on the end of them.

5:54and he's basically asking, is this class just cheating? So she's getting herself off with Harlan's face. Look, we'll get a better picture than that, but that's a sex toy and it's Big Earl and his mouth's open and it's a little bit as a... I wouldn't say that's a very attractive picture either. No, what toy is it? I don't know. What do you do with that? It looks like it's a bit of a vibrating grapefruit. Yeah, it's got it like that, innit? It's just like grapefruit, to be fair, early. But imagine, say Katie up roses at work, and you go in and you pull this thing out. Percy Sugden, Katie? Percy Sugden?

6:36We've spoke about this before. Percy Sugden? That's what she calls a fucking dildo, Percy. Who's the fella? Dog. Curly Watts. There was a fella that we've spoke about, and she went, oh, she's got a thing for him. He's off some TV. Percy Sugden I can't even picture Percy Sugden Percy Sugden's about 140 that's it, Farmer? Farmer Dave, yeah I wish it was Percy Sugden if there was just Farmer Dave at the end of our dildo I wish he'd get me in back room in cabin what, would you be fuming? what if Farmer Dave's at end of yeah, like a celebrity or some crush, do you know like say you're being a bit kinky and you say you know I'm going stereotypically a French maid or something like that but then your missus asks you to dress like a specific celebrity how would you feel about that what are you talking like you've got to have your you've got to have your Percy flat cap on and a rack on her nambagging like cropper cropper yeah yeah following on from that they've said if that was a man doing it it would be the woman would be and they've done a thing it's like a a wall with an attractive lady with just a hole like how it would look with a flesh line yeah um what do you think what would you say if it's obviously it's a really ridiculous thing it's never going to happen but what say uh Fatima Dave is just stood at the end of the bed with no clothes on and she's lying on her back masturbating I'm not going to be raging so she's just he's not he's not touching her she's just lying on her back strumming banjo and Farmer Dave's just stood there naked and she's just looking at him I'd be too happy without that would you?

8:38alright Dave Dave I need someone out of wardrobe I was starting to think what angle you were going to were you saying that you wouldn't be raging or you would be reading. No, but it's like, it's similar to watching porn, isn't it? It's just there. You're just having a wank, right? And Kelly Brooks just started to edit bed frigging. Is that bad? Are we, what are the logistics of this? Well, I wish I said it's probably not going to happen. Do you think it's a hypothetical question? Yeah, definitely. I think that's the word I was thinking of. But is that sound, and as soon as you've chucked your muck, Kelly just gets her claws on, never says a word, leaves the room.

9:15Yeah, see you next week. Is that bad? I don't think that's great either I don't think he's getting signed off you know what I mean though yeah I can say if it's some because there's like unachievable thing you know like I don't know who's the most attractive man in the world so if he's on the end you're like but then what if it's like somebody that is achievable what just Steve from next door like Chris Brown from the podcast she's got a thing she loves him I won't cheat on you but do you mind if Steve comes around once a week and just stands at end of bed with his kit off yeah

10:00it's a similar thing to the picture innit but obviously it's just a real silhouette while he's really there it's just the way she's placed his mouth the fanny tickle a bit it's like he's there yeah she can make eye contact I've never looked at that photo it looks like he's enjoying it in that picture as well so he's really going for it so is he rage you know is he sound about it on the debate I don't think I'd be happy with that I wouldn't not at all like say if it was Anthony Joshua on the end of it you miss his vibrator you're like what you doing yeah so basically she's cut the mouth out so the vibrating bit is like Erling Haaland's tongue yeah basically yeah They're dirty to his day.

10:47By the way, there's a lot like him in New Ireland. Yeah. Yeah, a lot like him. What, women? Yeah. I don't know, I saw her a thingy. And it was one of them stupid things, the fellas go around with Mike saying, would you kiss so-and-so? And they went through a list of footballers. Yeah. And like Beckham, you know, the handsome good players. and everyone, every girl that got interviewed when they came to Harlem, they went, I'd give him a cuddle. Or I'd give him a peck on the cheek. I think there's been a study and there's plenty like him. Yeah, what do you think it is? He's quite strapping, isn't he?

11:29Yeah, he's not conventionally good looking, is he? But there's something of the earth about him. He's a bit Neanderthal. Would you say he was nearly handsome? no a few of your no no I won't I'd say he's fucking drop dead ugly he looks like fucking Alfie might have dropped him a couple of times when he was a young one you guys any more speedy pipes you're going to come and live should we go with an email because there's quite a few there's some good ones as well you're going to come and live with me now

12:05Pep Slap Slap John Right. Roo, boo, baby, boo. Handbags and blowjobs. Oh. Hi guys. We'll spare the blah, blah, blahs and get down to the business. Please keep anonymous. When I was about 16, 17, I was going steady with my first proper girlfriend. I was around her house one day and we were sitting in the living room watching the telly. Her mum and stepdad came through to inform us they were going out for a meal. Result, I thought. And like a prime Kevin Phillips, I wasn't going to need a second invitation to score. Fast forward only a couple of minutes after her mum and stepdad are out the door and I'm sitting with my jeans and boxers at my ankles.

12:55It's a bit too eager, that, innit? How old is he? 16, 17. Oh, no. I apologise. I apologise. As soon as you pick keys up. Yeah. The top button's coming up, Dom. Yeah. As soon as you hear that click on Yale. Whilst my girlfriend was on her knees giving me the Gluck Gluck 3000, suddenly the living room door bursts open and her mum has returned to retrieve her forgotten handbag. Oh, no. She froze on the spot, wide-eyed and mouth-opening shock at the scene she had walked in on. Are you freezing? or he, I don't know. She's got a mouth bobbing. He might put it in. It's obvious what's going on. He might put it in if he fancies her.

13:37We know what we've just been talking about. Me, with my bare, sweaty arse on her cream leather couch. Oh no! And her little princess with her lips round my Jerry's helmet. I have never been so embarrassed in my whole life and wished the ground could have just swallowed me up. Hi mum. Much like my then girlfriend was about to swallow my spunk. She says, Mums, fuck off, I'm busy. Her mum did eventually pick up the handbag and left. I made sure I left as well and got up the road sharpish before her parents returned from their meal. Later that night, I got a text from her stepdad who seemed to be able to see the funny side of it and told me not to worry and just to make sure we were being safe.

14:24That's Fairfax from her stepdad, isn't it? Yeah. 16, 17. Yeah. I was still too embarrassed to go to that house for a good few weeks after. The relationship only lasted another few months before she ended it. Although I was heartbroken at the time, looking back, it was one of the best things that's happened to me, as in subsequent years, she's piled on the weight and seems to be a bit of a nutter.

14:53That's terrible, isn't it? Which is the worst bit of a nutter after the party?

15:00but he's not a bit that yeah you think it's like you're all looking at old pictures of exes and you know if you're looking at it from that perspective going dodged a bullet there do you think we'd be saying the same thing like if we hadn't come to a match well thank god we didn't go there yeah some of my exes will think oh he's dodged a bullet there fast forward to now and I'm 32 engaged to be married next year to the absolute love of my life and we have a three-year-old son together. A year or so ago, my wife-to-be and I were picking up a takeaway from our local Indian restaurant and in walks my ex-girlfriend and her mam.

15:39Surprisingly, the mum said hello to me and my ex completely blanked us. My current missus knows that I used to date this girl in my younger years, so the sitting in silence whilst waiting for food was extremely awkward. When we left, I told my missus the story about but her mum walked in on me and she thought it was hilarious. Keep up the good work, fellas. You should make your way north of the border and do a live show or two in Scotland. Up the front in Cosh. Bit petty from her not ignoring him. Yeah, especially because the mum said hello. Yeah. Unless she was embarrassed as well. She probably had a big order in, didn't she?

16:14Yeah. Yeah, it's the nine-popperdom order. Yeah. Set meal for two. Yeah. And a meal for her mum. Oh, imagine all that. It's happened to me, the ones. I think we spoke about it, haven't we? At a party. Or caught. Yeah. I went with the stomachache, pulled my jeans together and bent over, holding my thing, and I've got a stomachache. I don't know if she fell for it or not. I feel more awkward for the daughter. Yeah, but yeah, she's got a penis in her mouth. She's latched on, hasn't she? Why? If she's not wiped his body properly and all on the white couch. At least it was leather. easy wipe yeah wet wipes job done innit yeah everything's worked out getting married next year yeah congratulations shall I step in with a speak pipe again thanks everybody who sent messages there's some good ones there is one that isn't for the bin but I think well worth a listen before I play this one the rules I think for in the bin it's got to have two votes if it gets two two yeses it's in the bin right but we'll go with this one first how you doing lads listen brownie you owe me£370 37 games you play for Blackburn Rovers £10 every single time you played I put on for you to score and it never happened so I'll leave my email address and you can send it via PayPal cheers bud cheers bud that's my favourite bit about that as if it's like a given I think you need to send him£370 I think it's the least you can do two of us£370 it's not even a question is it it's an order as if it's going to happen cheers bud He sent his email address and all in brackets.

17:54So cheers, Simon. At least half. Do you think? Yeah, you've got to send him half. Yeah, I'll send him half. For putting him through it. Or give him a lawnmower. I've got a lawnmower. If you need a new lawnmower, he'll send you a lawnmower. We can ask. Simon, if you need a new lawnmower and you can get to Leeds. Yes. It'll be gift wrapped next week. It's still in the box wrapped. Right, here we go. One for the bin. Kingy. All right, lads. Great. more of a question for you here, right? Just to see if it gets on your tits. So let's say you're hungry, right? Fancy a biscuit or a crack or a bag of crisps.

18:31So you go into your cupboard, you open the door, you put your hand in the pocket or whatever, right? But there's nothing left in the empty pocket. How much does that get on your tits? Like, why aren't the kids or the wife or whoever putting it in the bin? It's just teasing. Absolutely fucking scandalous. What's your guys' thoughts on that? Because it absolutely gets them right at end. Keep up the podcast, Lars. Cheers, everyone. Yeah, it would piss me off. It doesn't happen in our house. Oh, yeah, I can't imagine it. No, any. Because whenever we get a... Say we bought a packet of biscuits, they're always took out of the packet and put in a biscuit tin.

19:10Right, yeah. Oh, do you know if she gets, like, skinny whip bars? What whip bars? Skinny whip bars. You're not allowed to eat them. They're like, I don't eat them, I don't like them. They're just like an healthy chocolate bar type thing. So they come in a box of five, so the five will then be put in the cupboard and the box discarded. So they're not in the box, you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. That would be annoying, but I do think I'd do it. I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say if you're not on the receiving end, it's quite a good crack. Yeah, leaving the litter, you know, obviously.

19:50It should go in the bin, literally. But if, like I've done it before, where Oscar's gone, there's a Mars ice cream left in the freezer. I'll have that when I get in. So I'll get in first, I'll take the Mars, even if I don't want it, I'll put it behind peas. Because it's the anticipation, you've already decided, you're already looking forward to it. You don't put it behind peas, you eat it. And then when you open box and there's none there, the disappointment. If you're on the other side, it could be quite funny. Juno, she loves a prank. Ten-year-old, and she's mastered the art of re-wrapping for her old Rochers.

20:28Opening them up over Christmas, she put sprouts in them, re-wrapped them perfectly back in the box. See, that's good crack. Yeah, I like that. Did it pay off? Yes, numerous times. When you've got guests coming around over Christmas, she's in corner in hysterics grandma's gonna get grandma's getting one grandma's getting one so that side of it yeah i'm keeping it from the bin yeah my dad used to when he worked in the prison he used to bike home and he said the only thing that got him through the the journey would be you know when you you start dreaming of your foot you drink we're on about your favorite pint and that but whatever after a game of golf or on a hot day he said he just used to fantasize about an orange juice that he'd left in the fridge on the morning.

21:14Looking forward to it. We always used to get him from school and neck it. But not giving it a second floor. Oh, juice, champion, straight down. And then he didn't say anything, but one day he's put some off milk in the carton and we've gone and it was just... Oh, that's glass. He did us. did he say that one on the podcast no Sherbin Hill just fantasising about this juice just getting from school I like that he's been raging every time he's done it rather than saying anything he's like I'm getting the bastards back it'd be worse if he just left a mouthful in do you know if he just left him a mouthful he's got the taste but obviously not the satisfaction of the full drink who got the off milk it must have been me I think it was me I can imagine a spit a spray it was probably one of them where we knew it was me dad's and he was keeping a book but it cost us three of you yeah that's what happens at our house because it's three that's probably why me dad didn't start accusing because we just passed the book it worked mate it worked it worked mate I'm going back in lads so is it bin or not yeah bin for me bin?

22:32yeah is it lazy? yeah it's poor yeah it is lazy but I'm keeping it out of the bin for the crack. Right. Bin. So two bins. It's in the bin then. Yeah, I'm just thinking, if you fancy a pack of crisps and there's a big thing you put your hand in and it's empty, why are you still in the cupboard? See, like, we've already took the crisps out of the multi-pack. Yeah. They're all in the cupboard. It's in your head. You've already decided you're having a pack of crisps. You can already taste that first prawn cocktail and then your hand's gone in. on that, do you know like if there's butter in the fridge I'll use butter if there's butter in the fridge but there's only just a little bit left she'll throw it away is it enough to get a slice on?

23:20probably enough, yeah but she'll throw it away and just open the fresh one I'm having that it's a bit of waste there so there's a big bag of crisps like when you watch a film with she won't trickle me if there's one packet left No, but if there's not many bottle of packets, she'll fucking wang them. Oh, right, a big one. Yeah. Not a multi-pack. Not a multi-pack, you want a big bag of crisps. Sensations, sir. Yeah. If there's only a few in, she'll wang them. Well, it's not too bad if there's a replacement full packet, but if you were purposely, like, wrapped it up and saved it for a later date, gone to get them and they've gone.

23:58Oh, she'll do it regularly. Hell on. Yeah, she'll do it regularly. Did I tell you when I had to catch it?

24:05Did you? You haven't told me, so please tell us. It rings a bell, but... So I had a packet of, you know, like the little scampi fries, but they weren't scampi fries. And they'd been open the day before. But you know when they've gone stale, but they've still got the flavour and they're all right. And I was doing bits in the house. And I was up and downstairs. And every time I went in the kitchen, or every other time I went in the kitchen, I'd get another one. Anyway, they had been on side for over a day. but I didn't keep dipping in every now and again anyway, roses. I'm like, where's that packet of crisps gone?

24:38I thought, she chucked them. So I opened the bin and they were there on top. No wonder you're fat, you. Granted. I thought, they've only just been put in and they're on top. I thought, and they've been on the side so I took them out of the bin and put them back on the side and then I put my hand in. No, I'll tell you what I did. I picked the packet up because it felt like there were one left. Dropped it back. next minute it's all sticking to my teeth I thought what the hell is that and Rose the cat had come out the litter tray and her shit had dropped on floor she's picked it up with a tissue and put it in this empty crisp bag and put it in the bin and it's all in my teeth I knew that was not a good smell the realisation of what the hell was that and then the shit taste coming through I ran straight upstairs sick of it It tastes like shit.

25:33I know, but what does shit taste like? No, yeah, but what is shit? Describe it. Cat shit's got a certain smell on it, so the smell comes with the taste, so I knew straight away when it were, and the noise I made was, I ran upstairs, and Rosie's like, what's wrong, what's wrong? I'm like, cat shit! Why do you have to put the Barnsley voice on? Because I don't want to shut my mouth, because I know it's there, and it's all in my teeth. I brush my teeth, Rose comes in, Oscar comes in, all just laughing their heads off. I think I've been sick brushing. That's pissed all over me off milk. It's another level, that.

26:11I mean, my own thought for bin dipping. Yeah, yeah. There's a lesson there. No wonder you're fat. I read and opened a pack of sweets the other day, and one fell on the floor. It was in the kitchen, I think it was a skittle or something. I was like, you've dropped one. And she picked it up and put it in the bin. I said, how are you doing? the five second rule there's floors and there's your kitchen floor it was in Louise's oh right when I say your kitchen floor I'm not I'm not picking the last skittle ever to be made up in your kitchen floor I'm regretting it because she's taken that literally now she'll drop it in a field muddy field in five seconds she's remembered it it happened when we went to the caravan they stick with your things like that don't they she dropped some straight away in a gob oh no it's the influence of a parent you see Yeah, five second Roman then.

26:58Right, I'm going in, lads. Kinky midget breaking. All right, lads, please keep me anonymous, and for the sake of this, we'll refer to me as Tin. Skipping the blah, blah, blahs, and getting straight to the point, as this is a bit of a long one. A few years ago, me and a few mates went to a festival in Glasgow. Three days we were there in the Merchant City and met quite a few characters, one of which being a girl that went to uni with one of my mates. On the second day of the festival, I met said girl. We got on relatively well. But the first thing that hit me was how fucking small she was. Now, I'm a relatively short chap with the nickname The Stump amongst my mates.

27:44However, she was something else. She told me she was legally a midget. At this point, I imagine Parky's starting to pitch a tent. and she was also a member of the GB Judo Wrestling. The midget one? Do you have to get signed off as a midget? You're going for a test. And what's the cut off? I'm assuming it's just on height. Yeah, so what's the thing? I don't know. Do you miss out on benefits if you're half an inch too big? Centimeter too big? Do you get benefits from being a midget? I don't know. I don't know these things, John. I'd be surprised. I imagine there's a cut off at Paralympics, obviously.

28:22What's the legal?

28:52shagging, but it was becoming more serious for her. She started bringing sex toys with her, including dildos, vibrators and spanking paddles. I wonder what size the dildos are for a dwarf. Do you think there's dwarf dildos? That's a good question. Four foot ten's the height. Four foot ten? Is the cut off. If you're under that, you can be classed as a, yeah. Hmm, interesting. You must be able to get some sort of pit, wouldn't you? You know, I'm like, you can't stack shells at Asda, can you? Bottom shell. Yeah, you can't put the good stuff on the top, can you? Never one to turn down an offer, I used whatever was at my disposal.

29:29She wanted me to bend her over my office table, at home he's put in brackets, and push her face into the desk while we had sex. She later revealed that she saw a photo behind my desk, which I did not know was there, of me and my ex. she said it turned her on knowing she was in her place. Fucking psychopath. That's similar to Kelly Brooker end at bed. Do you think you've got to, do you think she had to stand on a milk crate? Or as a desk? Standard desk. Do you have a tape measure? I didn't have time to pack it. Is that regulation size, that one there? I didn't have time to pack it. Two, three and a half foot.

30:07Yeah, she's sounding, she. Yeah. One weekend, I decided to give her a key as I was away and she wanted to use my flat. Perfectly fine with me as long as she gave me the key back. Rookie error. When I came back to the flat, the key was gone. He's not committed to a long-term relationship here and she's obviously getting involved. I mean, she stole the key. As months went by, she became a lingering smell I couldn't get rid of. That's a nice terminology. A lingering smell. She would come back from judo and try to choke me out, stinking of sweat. I forgot that she was a hard bastard. Not sexy at all.

30:46I decided it was time to cut things off. However, not before a debrief with my mates over some beers and a curry. After nine pints and a ruby muzzer, I decided this was the time to cut things off. I stumbled into my flat, took off all my clothes and decided it was time for a shower. Whilst waiting for the water to heat up, I go to text my mate saying thanks for his advice in cutting things off. However, blind drunk, it was a struggle to type the message, so I thought, fuck it, time for a voice note. Hiya mate, thanks for tonight, really helped. Defo time, I told the sweaty midget to fuck off. Oh no.

31:29Even if it doesn't mean I get my cock wet for a while. The sweaty midget. Halfway through finishing my voice note, out of the darkness, I hear a, Uh, Tim? My heart fell out of my arse. I bowled into the kitchen, bollock naked, stinking from my booze and chicken bolty to see her sat there on the sofa in the dark. Oh dear. What in the living fuck are you doing here? I blurted out. Not usually the first thing someone says to a partner when the other one decides to surprise them. All I could muster was, I can't deal with this right now, and jumped in the shower. The longest shower of my fucking life.

32:14I tell you lads, contemplating what she did or did not hear. After getting out, me and my limp cock went to first the music. She said how clearly I'd got cold feet and had had a beer. Not to worry about it, and we'll speak about it in the morning. Result. First thing in the morning, I got dressed and left for work without saying a word. She later texted me asking to meet her parents to see if that would calm my so-called cold feet. My feet weren't cold, lads. They had bastard frostbite. That was the last we saw of each other as I finally told her I'd had enough and it was time to move on, whilst also blaming work stress and any other favourable shithouser excuse I can think of.

32:57So the question is, lads, should I have told her either about it just being sex or should it have been pretty obvious being that we met at a festival when I was off my tits. Keep up the great work lads, long time listener and even got some enjoyment being a patriotic Welshman. Up the sheep shagging cosh. Tim. The thing is how long does it go from just being sex to being actually starting a bit of a relationship? It was short-lived, wasn't it? If you went out for meals and stuff, if you went out for meals and stuff, is that classed as a relationship? Do you think you could have cut a long story short?

33:42Any more? I mean, she took it well. When I first told her, it didn't go straight over her head. When I did first tell her, it didn't go straight over her head, didn't it? That's it. That's the one I was looking for.

33:58Yeah, I think you've got to, you know, don't you, when it's getting serious. The key. That's, yeah. That was the, that's the short straw. There's always one that kills it, isn't there? They must not have had one of them doers with a lot of quiet eye out. You know, the L ones. Yeah, he should have just told her when it was time. You know, don't you? He's dragged it on, hasn't he? what seemed to be just a one night festival fling or whatever to them I'm surprised I'm sure she got over it do you want another one for the bin? yes yeah then I'll do an email alright lads hope yous are keeping well just listening to Friday Club when you're looking for some submissions for your room 101 what I'd go for is and it gives me the fucking every time that I see it is fellas, grown fellas wearing F1 memorabilia you know like Big John from Portsmouth with a fucking Lando Norris shirt on ah come on pack it in put the ball away put it in the bin anyway all the best up the fucking cosh, come on cheers Ryan I've never thought about it I'm sure you've mentioned this before.

Might as well go all along, ain't you, and get the full suit. Do you know what? I've got one. Shirt and trout. You might as well get the lot.

I can see a speed pipe next week. No Formula 1 chat. Yeah. Shit. Just all of this, exactly the same car was his best driver. Mm-hmm.

Sorry, lads. did you think I was being serious then or I've got no reason to not think you were being serious like that so he's not got a job at the 20's so he's not even fetching me no broken biscuits I thought you were going to come in with some at that come on then what about the one it taxed yesterday I don't have a chuckle I don't know self praise is no praise but we got in the taxi yesterday outside airport and American guy went address? I went no I've just got my shirt and my shorts with me. Because I had a little chuckle but then you in hysterics at your own joke made it funnier.

39:56I still find it really funny. Did you go in with it later? Address? No I've just got my shirt and my shorts with me. How are we then Chrissy? Morning lads. Up the cosh. Gosh. Just wanted to send this in for Chrissy's segment of what would you put in the bin? And for me, I'm afraid to say, and I know it's a bit of a British institution, so I realise I might be treading on, you know, some questionable waters. But, yeah, for me, it's lollipop people. Now, I'm sorry. I realise some people will have listened and just gone, what? But hear me out. lollipop people that stop traffic for adults you can't be doing that you can't be stopping traffic to let adults cross the road children 100 but adults they've done the hedgehog training they remember the videos they shouldn't be needing the lollipop people to stop for helping them to cross the road fuck off you Kino bastards

41:09I like this speed bike thing I'm with him by the way I'm with him you can't put lollipop people in the bin because they're going to be there for the kids but yeah you can't be crossing adults see I never noticed these things but he's absolutely spot on isn't he I would never have got why is he helping an adult across the road do you not remember when we were in Glasgow about that we were in glasgow i can't remember we were recording at the time but we're all between recordings and we're after recordings good for something to eat must have been between recordings because we're right across from the school and the lollipop lady crossed us all the road and i remember being like embarrassed he's absolutely spot on putting an hand up to the driver saying well i didn't ask her to do this mate i'm sorry i can't cross the road do you think do you think all the pop people should wait till there's at least a good number not just for one person like at least wait till there's four yeah but how long do you wait well yeah especially in like a rural or just you know like near a school you could be there for ten minutes waiting for somebody else to turn up what's your thoughts on John putting his toenails on that thing that's a bit unnecessary on the workstation I've seen you pick them in public I know but at least I'm just in my own hotel room.

42:31So lollipop people, not in the bin for the kids, but I think is it unanimous? Yeah. Fuck off crossing adults across the road. Right, I'm going in. The day I found out I was slow. Mentally or physically? Well, I don't know. I've not read it yet. You've starred it. All right, lads. Long time listener of the pod, and whilst I haven't sent anything in before, me and the lads sat around one night talking about some of our exes and I always tell the same story that gets people laughing and one of them mentioned that I should send it in to get it read out on the pod. Plus I'm a Blackburn Rovers fan and I always stuck up for Brownie regardless of how he was performing on the pitch.

43:17I remember he started a game at Hillsborough and fans were giving him dogs abuse and he flicked on a long throw for Rhodes to tap in. But that's probably about it for good memories. That was needless. As you were, what's his name? Anonymous, I don't know. Do you remember it, the assist? Yeah, it was barely an assist. Off the fringe. Yeah, they all count more. Anyway, here's a story about the time I found out I was slow, which was surprising at the time because growing up, I was always the tallest and quite athletic. When I was in college I started dating a girl. Let's call her Nelly for the sake of the pod.

43:58Nelly was quiet, unassuming girl, pretty in a girl next door kind of way rather than sexy but we started talking on the bus home one day and we hit it off. After a few weeks of talking I had a party at my parents house. I didn't think Nellie was that interested in me at the time but she turned up to her house and was having a good time. I was speaking to another girl downstairs that I had slept with before and knew she was a banker. A reservation if you will. It's always nice isn't it when you've got one in it. The one in the tank. Yeah just in case. In the wings. As the night goes on and more drinks start flowing, Nellie wants to speak to me upstairs.

44:46So I followed upstairs, worrying that something had happened at the party or someone had spilt or broken something in my parents' house. As we got to the top of the stairs, Nellie pushed me against the wall and kissed me and grabbed my hand and put it up her dress to feel her soaking wet chuff. Very forward. Chuff.

45:10A sodden chuff. That's the worst for me. Chuff? Yeah.

45:20I should have seen the danger signs then. Me and Nelly were together for about a year and a half after that. She was absolutely bonkers. Nothing was off limits. Trafford centre toilets. Anal at the beach. Oh, yeah. At the beach? Yeah. You don't want to stand up, you chuff. We even used to have sex as I was driving from Blackburn to Accrington, which is about an eight-minute drive. Whilst driving? She got on top of him while he's driving. Surely that's not safe or legal. Yeah, it's definitely legal, isn't it? Imagine, you're not going to see a lollipop lady, are you? Not concentrating. Is it possible?

46:02Put your seat back. Surely it's a tough one. If you've got little legs, you've no chance. For an 18-year-old lad, it was a dream. As I left college and got into my world of work on a physically demanding job, I simply no longer had the energy to keep up with her sex drive, and this would cause arguments that would go into the night. Accusations of cheating because I no longer wanted to have sex one night after work. It wasn't as if we'd completely stopped having sex. It was just not no longer two or three times per night. Per night? I don't want to have sex three times a night, do you? I'm with you.

46:39Have a night off. Twice. I planned a break up with her. Both my head and my balls were drained. So she drove to my house and I sat her down and told her. Her response was, no, you're not. Nelly's demeanour had changed. I knew she was crazy, but this look had given me the fear. I tried to reiterate that I no longer wanted to be with her and that we were breaking up. Nope. I told her I was going out and that she had to leave and she refused. I was worried at this point. Eventually I left the house anyway and she followed me. My plan was to get about 100 yards away, turn around and run back to my house and lock the door.

47:22It is desperate. That's almost like, surely you've got to go with her. Look at that over there. You've got to trip her up first, won't you? Just trip Nellie up and then on your bike. I walked around the corner from my house with Nellie following me, still insisting that we weren't breaking up. When I felt I was far enough away, I turned and sprinted towards my own door. Didn't even look back, just head down, feet pounding the floor. I put my key in the door, already thinking about I am going to lock it from the other side. I shuggled to open the door. Nellie was already stood there with her hand at one side of the door, stopping all six foot seven of me from opening my own front door.

48:05Six foot seven? I wonder they could shag in the car. He sat up back seat. I was in trouble. We went inside only to argue for even longer and louder. This went on until I realised what I had to do to calm her down. Yes, lads, I pretended I no longer wanted to break up with her. Oh, no. She'd won me around and I fucked her. Oh, dear. All the while thinking about how she beat me in the 100 metre race and stopped me from opening my front door.

48:37the morning after she was a lot calmer and we eventually agreed that this relationship wouldn't go any further not before agreeing to five whatever whenever she wanted booty calls in which she could text me at any point and i would have to be there wish she hadn't used all five now she's currently in australia and looks banging but i'll never forget the crazy eyes and the time she made me find out i was slow so it is physically all the best lads keep up the good work but i'd say mentally as well because you should have gone with the look of that over there all the trip chips one chips the one that trips a bit heavy though in it no no could that be classes assault you need to no the thing is you would be confident that there's that you're going to win that race it wouldn't even enter my head that she's going to beat us you know what i mean i didn't think i wouldn't think there'd be any need it's like what's that running backwards just giving him a wanker up way past speeding on zel oh that would hurt yeah that so if it didn't go past him he could chuck his shoulder and then run it all the way yeah but then was he going right block well he's caught him once you'll catch him again john yeah i've just got misery in my head yeah you know the film misery i bet she was really calm in that delivery of we're not yeah next time what would you do to make sure you won the race could you go with shut you know shut over her head on her yeah you know you know like when you used to do at school like pull the coat over the top of the head and then she's no idea where she is and you're gone and then the trip I think the trip's too much it could cause an injury where you get one leg over the front of her legs yeah yeah old school or I think that could cause an injury or they push her into a pond a bush yeah pond bush pond you know like so she's but how far what's closest pond to your house.

50:32You're going long distance now. There's bushes everywhere. In a bush. Yeah. Oh, it'd have to be a rose bush and all, so it's spiky. Again? She's got to pull a few out. He's got the audacity to criticise my performance of Blackburn, and he's getting beat in a 100-meter sprint from his lass. The dick. Must have at least a foot and a half on her in all money. Yeah. No excuses there. Six foot seven fanny, that's what he is. just tell her no fucking get out of me house

51:05the audacity I know what you're saying self-praise is no praise but we did get a message from Ryan got my old man in his best pile of ticket for last Friday in New York as they were over there for five weeks they had a fucking blast Rafi and Gerner from Stoke got a couple of pictures to forward on from Akosha and Paterin from day one thank you very much for not just making my weeks but for Horstan in my dad's words the best night of the trip up the fucking World Cup winning kosh I shouldn't have read that last bit but it was written I think we saw the night after didn't we yeah we did we went in for a nightcap didn't we yeah the lads were in there looked like they were still having a good night that night and all blessed didn't it one of the best I'll say one of the best night out in my life that night.

My back needs of going over. Morning chaps, hope you're all good blah blah blah, just a quick one about post USA Friday Club Friday the 10th of July incredible weather this morning and about to head down to Cornwall for a long weekend with the missus, long shite drive but well worth it when you get there looking forward to a great start with the aircon on and a welcome return to the best episode in podcast land sat in the car all packed and ready to go finger poised on the play button she climbs in and off we go press play and I'm in heaven when the theme music comes on until I hear a distressing sound from the seat next to me we're not listening to this fucking shite get out I regaled her with tales of trap 1, 2 and 3, coppins, keith and the like to no avail we're still not listening to this bollocks put some country music on anyway Anyway, long story short, she's back in the house and I'm sat outside the sandwich shop munching on a spamming egg and brown sauce listening to this fucking shite.

59:22Keep up the great work, lads. Love what you do. Special shout out to Posse for introducing me to this a few years ago and never looked back. Love from Gaz in Barnsley. Posse's mate. Spamming egg. If I see you're out in Barnsley and you're with your missus, right? Please fetch her off her. I want to speak to her. Have a word. Have a word. I'll try and get her into it for you. Getting the bit out again. Things I'd get rid of. Well, where to begin, boys? As I've just come out of there and I've been collared already this morning, I'm going to say the geezer that stands outside the petrol garage, when you're coming out, just filled up with diesel, you've got a day's work to get to, a bottle of water, oh, you've got a few pound coins in your pocket.

1:00:14Yeah, he stood there saying, air ambulance, this, that and saying else. Sign up to this. We take a direct debit every month. No, mate. Just stand there with a pot like you're used to and we'll chuck a few pound coins in. You'll do a lot better out of it and all. Don't keep stopping me, making me feel guilty because I ain't signing up the same and I'm telling you basically to fuck off to your face in a polite way. But, mate, just leave off. Stand there with a pot. You'll have more money out of everyone. And you ain't going to get fucking told to do one, are you? Every five minutes. So, yeah. That's what I'll get rid of.

1:00:48These pricks that stand there outside petrol garages for charities. Pricks. Doing the bit for charity. I get it. I get it. As soon as they're mentioned. Direct debits. Direct debit. Instantly, it's annoying it. Yeah. There's always one in a co-op. And as soon as I go in, I'm thinking, am I avoiding this fella? Aren't we out? I do my bit for charity I've got a direct debit set up I got stung I dropped a rotis at school and there was a petrol garage and she was in the shop waiting and she was so nice on arrival and I thought I know your game again she was probably 60 odd year old so nice asking needless questions I thought again like you I've gone to the the water aisle thinking right I need to am I avoiding this situation and she waited at the end of the you know the there's the queue she was just there the only exit yeah I thought Ready to pounce.

1:01:41Have you got five minutes? I'm really sorry. I'm going to be late for his guitar lesson. I need to. But I'm really sorry. Never played guitar in his life.

1:01:51I'm still paying. I'm still donating to Barnardo's. Yeah, I thought you got thingy. Yeah, I get done regularly. I think I'm British Heart Foundation and Oxfam. I got done. That were a doorstep one. Lovely lad. Again. They're even worse. Yeah, you feel bad, don't you? I think the last good deed, a deaf fella knocked on me door with loads of drawings. He's a talented artist. And because he showed us his lanyard. Was that a pump? Yeah, a pump. He showed us his lanyard. I thought, I've got to do it, haven't I? He was raising money for his college thingy. So I said, I'll cut a couple off his hands.

1:02:33This isn't a joke, by the way. That's probably my last good deed. Did you do a check as we were walking off? Yeah, he ought to. Hold on a minute, I'll have another. No. He ought to walk behind him with a pan and a fucking rolling pin and just smash the pan behind him. If he jumps, you're like, you lying bastard. 20 quid he took off his lap. Did he? Yeah, well. You bet. It was worth it. For him personally, innit? Yeah. Have you put them up? No, they're still. They're about to forget fire going, wouldn't they? Arotus was impressed with it he was like he was deaf I don't know what that makes the difference that makes it would be impressive if he got no hands wouldn't it yeah I'd have bought a wall if he got no hands you know you could build a wall with him

1:03:27I've got a quick one I think and this is what we want about you being a Barry recording the game Yeah. The Congo one, or whatever it was. Hello, lads. Top short, I met you three at Huddersfield away during the first half before you all fucked off and disappeared somewhere else. Now the important bit. Is my mate a knob? To remain anonymous, please refer to me as Jude and my mate as Harry to keep the England World Cup theme. So even reading that makes us feel sad. I'll take you back to last week, the age-old dilemma. Do you stay up and watch the Mexico game live? even though you've got work the next day and in my case an in-person meeting first thing or do you get some sleep wake up at eight and watch the rerun like baldy did i decided to do the sensible thing and watch it the next morning before i went to bed i told all the lads in the whatsapp group that i'd muted the chat because i didn't want any spoilers the rest of them stayed up and watched it live i wake up the next morning reach over to turn my alarm off and there it is a WhatsApp notification.

1:04:35One of the lads, Harry, had tagged me with nothing but the final score. I'm fucking fuming. Cheers, mate. All that effort to avoid spoilers completely wasted. I didn't know who scored or what happened during the game, but knowing the score took all the tension and build-up out of watching it back. Now, Harry's defence is that he didn't realise that tagging me would still send a notification. He knew exactly what he was doing. It's a weak response, isn't it? Am I right to think that's absolute bollocks? Yes. Yeah, he knew what he was doing. Even if he genuinely didn't know, why tag me in the first place when he knew I'd be watching it when I woke up?

1:05:16I was absolutely livid. So, is my mate Harry a knob? Keep up the good work of the cosh. Yes. Yeah, absolute wank, Ian. Yeah, I'd have been furious. I mean, bad preparation. I went full aeroplane mode. Yeah. Nothing we're getting in. Does your arm still go off? I didn't have an alarm on. He did. Like, could he have turned his phone off? Yeah. And his alarm go off? Yeah, he could have gone airplane mode and still had his alarm on. So he's got to take a little bit of responsibility, I think. Yeah, he's tagged him on purpose, hasn't he? I thought if there were an emergency, somebody will ring Rose.

1:05:51So, yeah, bellend. Absolute bellend. Is there an element of good cracking there? Yeah, there is. From his perspective, he's absolutely chuckling himself when he's tagged him in that, hasn't he? Yeah. but you would be livid yeah furious right lads we've got a flight home in well quite a lot of hours to be fair yeah 11 hours we'll see what Atlanta's got to offer for us for 11 hours let's take back some merchandise it's a shame I've ever had a look before there's a baseball game tomorrow could have gone this afternoon well if we get tickets I don't think I'll have to mind I'll be staying watching a baseball game yeah 11 pound a ticket it is for baseball is it apparently over here this Atlanta in particular is really cheap yeah it's the same fella that owns the American version of B &Q when he just keeps all the prices down I don't know what the drinks in that were like in the stadium last night but they were meant to be the cheapest out of all the games they were$10 well for a pint yeah or a bottle which is still I've got a show for you go on I will find you on Netflix 8th part series Harlan Corbin very good oh Harlan Corbin is but I'll watch it.

1:07:00He's made plenty. He's on hide and seek. It's good, isn't it? It's good, yeah. Right, gents. I'm going to get half an hour's kick me before I get kicked out of this hotel room. Did you have a tommy when you woke up during the night? No, I did the first night. Lovely. Yesterday morning. Up the cosh. Up the cosh. Up the cosh. See what I did like in that? What did you do? Cosh! Yeah. Oh, I've got a song. Can you play this song? It's about gimp masks Oh yeah, sure

1:07:58Any more than this A good hammer in from my lover Oh, if you could only see my face How I look when I'm in this place There's nothing more from you I could ask Oh, if you could see the smile behind my gift mask Big cream from ear to ear As you pound away at my rear Smile so big and wide As you ram that rubber inside
