bike and realized it was him andwas like, it was some fucking
sniff mate. Yeah, they just instantly
presumed that because that's hischaracter on TV that he just
instantly wants it. I wish people didn't want my
character on stage. That's the paper, man.
I love it. He was in EastEnders in the
2000s. Dan Sullivan, like 99, two
thousand. He was sick in that.
Yeah, he called, you see. Cliffhanger.
(07:37):
No, he gets killed by Sloan. Cliffhanger.
No, nothing. So no, no.
What's cliffhanger? What was that?
It's like the rock climbing one we've saw was this long.
No, no, no. Sounds just how that my street
that way. It's pretty good.
You know, I like watching Rob comes.
You've ever been any of them? I've not, no.
Maybe we could make we could mean you imagine me in
particular Rob come, I'm the girl, but like we'll have a boy
(08:00):
you're. The you're the bad boy turn
good. Yeah, yeah.
And she she she doesn't really fully believe that you've
changed the error of your ways yet, right.
And you're so I'm not giving my Yeah, I'm your toxic mate who's
like don't go with her. Stay with us.
What? You think you're soft?
Why are you going soft? You.
Am I getting shagged or maybe like lice?
(08:20):
No, you're, you're just like. You're just.
Vulnerable at this point, I think.
You're you're just like I'd loveto, but I you've not, you've
never shot until you tell that Jamie that you've had enough and
I'm like, you're going to sell your boys.
How are you? Nah, not for you.
I'm staying with you. Come on man.
And then what do I do? Well, you're just like, you
(08:42):
know? I'm playing both.
Sides, right, right. So you just start down, Just put
your hand on your chest there. Yeah.
And then just bite your lip a bit.
Let's move it down slower. So.
So slower. Keep your eye contact.
(09:02):
If anyone wants to fund us. Jamie, I don't know if this is
for you or if this is not like this is for you.
At this point, just keep going A.
Little bit lower I just touch. I'm telling, I'm telling you to
stay away from her. So.
So I'm saying to him, no, you'vegot to choose between your mates
or me. No, not in that way.
Oh, you're just a good girl. OK.
(09:24):
Yeah, you're a good girl. And you don't what?
You don't what? Bring any bad stuff because you
know what happened to your dad. What happened to my dad?
Oh, we don't know. We're.
Not going to tell him that drama.
Oh, we find out later in the film, I killed your dad because
he owed me money. He was you secretly but and
you're like, that's why your mumis just like don't see any of
these rolled men. They're not for changing.
(09:46):
He is. Just enrolled man.
I thought say I was. I thought it was like
Americanized. No, he's.
Always going to the UK? Haven't.
Me. Yeah, he's.
Yeah, I've seen his accents. Hey man, Tony, why don't you
come back to mine? Is it set a liverpooler?
Yeah, but Liverpool, Manchester area.
(10:08):
I reckon GPT could write this for us.
I think so. So he's like, he's, he generally
wants to change, but he's too scared of me being like a toxic
man. Do what I mean.
And it's all about toxicity. Are you the main gang?
Are you the gangster who gets ona work and stuff?
Yeah, yeah. But deep down I want a
connection. He wanted.
You I want a connection deep. Down.
(10:29):
I tell him to say away from you because.
You want to fuck me? Because I feel sorry that that
killed your dad. But you fancy me as well.
I fancy everyone fancies you. Baby, baby.
So I'm like, because I can't, I'll never be able to beat him,
but I'm like a sneaky little ratway to get him, get him away.
And then he finds out I've been seeing you.
(10:53):
I've been seeing you because I Isay, Oh no, I'm a goodbye.
I'm a businessman. I'm in construction.
I woo you. Yeah.
I take your flower. I do flower you.
I do flower you. Yeah.
You're like, tie yourself up andall that.
Have a cold shower. And then he finds out about it.
(11:14):
Then he tells you that I killed your dad.
And then he bangs me out for it.And then who do I end up with?
You. End up with him.
But you'd have flower me. Will he take?
Will he take a broken toy though?
What? That's what the film's called
broken. The broken toy that's sick.
(11:35):
We're going to be millionaires. Please.
Yeah, and I'm a drug dealer, butI actually own a Toys-R-Us.
You're a witch. A Toys-R-Us.
Well, that's what you wash your money through.
Yeah, wash your money through. So there's lots of ways I would
have broken toy you can be. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but really, we know deep down it's because I I'm a broken
toy. Yeah.
Every time you come in for a meeting with me, I'm working on
a broken toy. That's a symbolism I'm fixing
(11:57):
like an alarm clock on that. Yeah.
Yeah. Because the time's not right.
Oh shit, that. Was pretty smooth, I'm glad you
pulled it back with that. Do you fancy starting with that
then, Rick? If it's you, he's the broken
toy, yeah. Yeah, you'll be able to fix me
I. Think so.
What's your dream role? Because you spent years being
(12:17):
Dorman Friedrich, you'll ever get Storman too?
Yeah, no. Hopefully be Dorman one one day.
That'll be a dream. Do you know what I mean?
You've been dying to get trained.
I know it's been dying to get you on the train on the way
maybe. Just rude.
That's so rude. Do you remember when me, you and
(12:39):
Callum were drinking the other week and he was fucking blitzed?
Right Proper pissed me off driving all night.
You know, I said I was going to have a drink after I'd finished
work, so I joined just for a drink We used were like too far
gone. Oh yeah, was we all gone?
You were all pretty pissed. With Callum as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And out of nowhere, Jamie just
(13:02):
piped up on his way. You're not even a.
Fucking comedian you. And everyone just went what the
fuck anyway. Just because.
You've been odd man free in Coronation Street and then just
shut up and then just cut just out and over.
That was nice. It come from, it come from
somewhere fucking deep there andI was sat there.
I'm glad you said this by the because I've been saying he's a
(13:22):
narcissist, yeah, for years. And these fans see a different
They don't know this Jamie, the one who who was scared of.
No, but he's he saw me down the river on Key St.
Mate. I'll push.
No, he asked. He asked the doormans.
Go, go. I thought that for his selfie, I
was dead buzzing about. No one knows, you show.
(13:46):
So the funniest part, the funniest one last week, the
funniest one last week where we'd all the green room.
You were just having having it back and forth.
And then you thought he'd left. Walks out the green room.
But he stayed. There you go.
I'll bang him. Yeah, I'll fucking smash his
head. And then he just ran back down
he went. I was a bitch there, you know?
(14:09):
Yeah. Callum, you stayed there for
ages. Did you listen?
He's gone. Yeah, I'll bang him anyway.
I think I'm bothered. I'll smash his head.
Callum, would you say that to his face?
Yeah. And he's.
Jumping walks up Walker what I say to.
His face, yeah, fucking slow. Ohh God, he's a wind up.
Ohh God that's funny. Sorry I said that man.
(14:31):
I know what you like, It's only for a long time, Jamie.
Yeah, ohh, we started. At the same time.
Yeah. Yeah, rocked up.
What was it? And he was a mess then.
Beat the frog, yeah. He's better now, though.
He's he's better, he's controlled, he's messiness.
That's what he's doing, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, he always had it. He.
Just didn't know what's fucking.Was he like Fargo back to I
(14:51):
didn't know him then. Was he like Fargo?
He was a lost cause mate. He was a lost cause.
I was. I was Derby 08 bro.
He's he's pulled that lostness and he now just.
Works with it and it's magic now.
So well done, Jamie. Thank you mate, it was called
Polish right back in the day. Why?
He was Polish, right? 15 So because obviously I act,
(15:11):
yeah, I felt comfortable on stage as an act, so I just
pretended. Because if you didn't go well,
you could hide behind the act. So I don't well.
Yeah, so I just pretended to be Polish and I just take the piss
out the English. That was your act you started.
But it was you had Polish peoplecome up and speak Polish to him
after. Yeah, yeah, people coming up to
(15:32):
me and like Polish people were turning up to me gigs and.
That he was just nailed it up. Speaking to me in Polish after
gigs and. That and you didn't.
You didn't know a word. Not a clue.
I just like some 1 gig after I remember was at the Comedy Store
and a guy come up to me and he was like, I've told my friend
she's Polish right? And I've told her to stay away
from Polish guys. But we've saw you tonight and we
(15:53):
think you're perfect. She wants to speak to you and
she came home and started speaking in Polish and she's
going to. And I just went yes, I just
shook around and walked off. I didn't know what to fucking
do. I couldn't break the illusion.
I didn't know what to. Fucking talk to good Vincent.
I thought it was Polish as well.Did you use?
Polish as well. But I turn up to gigs in like
track suits and that and if theydidn't know who I was, I'm after
(16:18):
the gig and it don't start till 8:00.
And I was like, Oh no, I'm one of the acts.
And they were looking at me because my ACT sometimes were
like a full on a dealer tracksuit and they'd just be
like. Oh.
You're an act. And I was like, yeah, yeah,
Polish Rick. And then they were just kind of
question in life, like, oh. Fuck off, we just.
P Rick Brick. Did you did you always do the
ACT or did you then try just normal stand up as you did?
(16:39):
Two gigs as me. I thought I fucked this.
Yeah, yeah. Because I remember I was gigging
for Alex Boardman and like 15 minutes in, they were just
stories about me but with a Polish accent.
And he said to me after the gig he was like, all that stuff
after 5 minutes was just you, but you did it in a Polish
accent. So you need I I want to hear
what you who your story. And yeah, yeah, yeah.
(17:00):
That's sweet, so I tried it as me died on my.
Ass. Thanks, Alex.
I fucked this so I just fucked it off.
I only did it to keep busy whilst that seems quiet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then when the acting started
picking up. Because what?
Because that is. Because obviously we don't.
I've only refused that one and it's yours.
Your love is the acting isn't italways will be owner than the
stand up or. Would you?
(17:21):
It's just more of a hobby now. Not really honest about it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not really bothered about it, I
just jump on as and when. Yeah.
If it comes free, I'll do it. But is it because of the you
don't want to go dive into too much because you can just call
for work somewhere. I've not got a love for stand
up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was more to keep crazy than keep.
Busy. Yeah, yeah, I like just then.
I just like doing it. I don't really love stuff.
(17:42):
I don't like something really, but I like doing it.
Yeah, 20 minutes on stage is sick.
It's just all the other fucking shit, Yeah.
Yeah. So have you got any, any plans,
anything coming up? Any big, big actors?
I've got a couple of auditions coming, but that's all right.
I will get in touch him. Yeah, he's a good actors, I
think. Good one.
I think he's a really good actor.
(18:03):
I am good. I think he's really good.
Do you? Remember when you happen every.
Time you do like a little actingsketches.
German happy slap there. German happy slap surfing.
Yeah, I did like a Polish Rick version where I'd get my phone
and I'd just like pretend to take a selfie with someone and
just whack the phone off the face and in town once.
Did you start playing? No, I just go.
And then storms off and he's little quick.
(18:29):
Yeah. Have we got the video?
Yeah, I will. Was you a liability then going
out there when he was, when he was 2015, when he first started?
Was you drinking? Have you done?
Yeah. Yeah, he's back.
Was he? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was a mess.
Did you have to look after him? I just used to get Sats every
(18:51):
six months for being pissed at work.
Did you piss that work? There was once when we did a
gig, didn't want it. I think you spoke right before
on the pod where someone startedon you to get involved during a
gig. Lads, just.
To jump into doorman mode from comedian to doorman.
Fucking flew about. Fuck fuck for doorman free
tonight, babe. He was doorman on that night.
(19:12):
He's like the bodyguard, WhitneyHouston, the way he got son
over, didn't we? We got to know, we signed out.
We signed out of a guy called Dance Off who was brilliant.
I mean, I don't think it's on itdeliberately like, but he booked
us for his works Christmas too. They work for Barclays.
They work for Barclays. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The story in Knutsford. So it's just got a few of us,
(19:35):
mate. Sam, we're getting £50 each,
£100 each. And really that's like 10 grand
job. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everyone's in tuxedos and that and they're just fucking
scavenging free drink vouchers. And stuff.
We were sat on the bench like wewas in school.
Honestly, So the stage is there,yeah, I'd go and do him a bit.
There's 4 the benches on the stage.
(19:55):
You step bench on the stage. That's horrific.
And then four. And then it's like we're all
doing our solos in West like that.
Obviously, like, yeah, it's factor when it goes like the
chair challenge. Yeah, yeah, but the only one is
waiting to go on. Oh.
My God, I I did a bit about Warrington, like saying 49% of
Warrington. I think the man can love
(20:18):
Manchester, 49% of Warrington scouts and love Liverpool. 2% of
Warrington just fucking love Warrington man.
And this guy just jumps up square ups man.
What you saying about Warringtonlad?
I've just been listening. And then it was square up to me.
But I'm trying to like, I've gotto keep my persona.
(20:39):
Don't mean I can't like, flap itbecause I've got a hard persona,
I hope. So what happens?
I'm just supposed to get punchedfor the heart.
So what, did you find them back?You had to, yeah.
You had to and then Rick typed in for me did the.
Gig go well though. Yeah, everyone was on my side
because everyone was like, what you're doing you?
It was horrible though it. Was horrible.
(21:00):
One thing that you always had though, that he always had when
we started out, regardless whether there was two people in
the room or 200, he'd always do like shit.

He was going to say like, you know, he'd act the same if you
see one of those. No shit.
It'd always finger, it'd always give the same energy and like
100% each time. And like sometimes when you get
up, you feel I can't be fucking.Asked that's my that's what my
(22:32):
and my worst states that I think, you know, if there's like
20 people in I'm like I can't beasked.
It's when really you shouldn't do that because they just paid
the exact same prices. But I went for yeah, It's not
for the it's not. It's not about the 100 and 898
people who aren't here. It's about you. 2 Polish
tourists. What?
(22:57):
The fuck? Oh, God.
Did you, did you know your character actor?
Because I started off with the character, actually, when I was
18. You did?
Yeah. Yeah.
First, first two years, I'd say.Yeah.
Sandal, I was a character. Yeah, I was.
I was. About a fat loser who couldn't
pull so big Stretch. What'd you say, mate?
What? I didn't hear you.
What? You say I said it was about this
(23:19):
guy who was like victims and that.
So you think I was a character? That's because you was.
No I'm saying I'm saying just the question is before I was
rudely interrupted by my Co host.
And a friend. Well, my colleague, I really
it's by my colleague. I don't know character active.
It was basically someone suffering from domestic violence
(23:42):
and I was a bit heavy, but it but it wasn't domestic violence.
I was making out it was, but it was silly stuff that big
girlfriend was doing to me and Iwas thinking it was domestic
violence, like making me beans on social, one piece of toast
and start crying on stage. But all right, listen, it worked
sometimes. But the question is, was did
you, did you do the ACT because you were scared of dying?
(24:05):
No, I just felt more, I felt more comfortable as an act.
Like not being myself because I was acting wasn't doing stuff, I
was acting. So you know, I'm going to.
Then I figured out pretty quickly.
Sorry, yeah. I was scared of dying, I think.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but then I figured out
pretty quickly that you can't beon stage as an actor, you have
to be a comedian. And I didn't appreciate the fact
that there was a different side of it.
(24:26):
Do you think so? There is.
Definitely, yeah. It's a whole, it's a whole
different fucking game. That's why a lot of TikTok stars
have got this out of these toursand fair play to them selling
out, making some bank. But the shows are fucking
horrendous. Horrific.
Because they can't are right here.
Because they've not got the it'sa different skill set.
That's why I might always shit then.
Yeah, I know. Thought I can put a camera
(24:47):
together already. A sketch together don't mean
we've seen that sketch that I made for the fucking birthday
show. Oh, you see that, didn't you?
Yeah. Yeah, you think you just go back
there? Oh good mate, I could switch
bro. Give me give me a scenario and
an emotion. Oh yeah, no, this is this is
view. So I don't.
(25:08):
Yeah, right. Give me a scenario and emotion.

routine, like his daily routine from a high performance
perspective, but you're secretlya fat bum.
You sleep. So he's that's Couch.
Hi, Rick. Hello mate.
(28:01):
So where did the acting start? Let's because where my guests,
I'd like to go back to the start, you see.
So have you always had a passionfor acting?
Always. Always as a child, yeah.
What did you do as a child? Did you want like as your mum
and dad? Did they like did they not force
because you no, no, you know, seriously involved in the did
they did they, you know, supportyour, your your love for acting?
(28:26):
No, they didn't, didn't they? No, no.
It was just deep within and justdeep within to be, yeah.
So how old was you about when you thought you could, you
wanted to, you know, pursue thisas a maybe a career?
It was later on in life. 20 liveoff the university.
All right. Nice.
Well, let's get back to me Dad'scouch.
(28:49):
I'm sure it's after me. Sorry.
That really crumbled. That didn't.
It. I had listen to this, I had an
audition once, right? Have you ever had your last an
audition? I asked you A.
Question. This is what happened so I
wouldn't say dream job but it was the villain in like an ITV
(29:09):
drama and they sent the script out.
It was like 7 scenes. It was like 3 day turnover so I
had to get to London, learn all the scenes.
Nude men's out was perfect. This guy was meant to be like a
big raging steadhead blah blah blah.
It was perfect for me, like on Carrick, on paper, learn all the
scenes and for some reason on the train on the way down I just
(29:32):
felt anxious as fuck. I'd not had a good night's sleep
before, I think because I wantedit that much.
And. I was like.
It was so I was with my new agent as well, and it was like a
perfect, like big casting director got down, went in, but
I'd left my fucking script on the train.
I forgot. I don't know what happened.
I got off the train. My head was falling off as it
(29:52):
was because I was feeling a bit anxious.
I'd never get anxious. I lost some scripts, got there
early and I thought, right, I'll, I'll get there early.
I'll get it on my phone and I'llgo over it and I'll, I know it
anyway. I'm just being hard on myself.
Got there early. Soon as I got my phone, I was
like, oh, Rick, you're here, come on in.
And I was like. Oh.
Fuck. So everything was falling apart.
Got in the room and the the director, the casting director,
(30:15):
the producer and like three other like executives are all
there and my head fucking fell clean off.
First time it's happened in an audition, my head fell clean
off. I sat there and he was like,
right, do you want to just jump straight into it?
And I was just like, yeah, yeah,yeah, let's go.
Just went quiet. Didn't know what it was.
(30:36):
Three times it happened. I pulled a blank three times
just couldn't even get it out right.
And he was like, do you want thedo you want the script?
And I was like, please, yeah, sorry.
I didn't want to give any excuses.
As soon as I got the first couple of words and knew it, my
my head had just gone. So then I did the scenes
perfectly fine, right. And on one of the scenes there
was a bit where he's calm and then he switches right.
(30:58):
He gets a little bit fucking thethe stead of the name comes out
and started doing the scene and it got to that point and I went,
do you know what? Fuck this right get old.
And he just went no worries, Rick, And he turned the camera
off because he thought I was being like, I'd forgot the
fucking scene and he thought he he was waiting for me to fuck up
again. So I'm doing the scene going
(31:20):
right. Fuck this, get that.
And he just went, no worries, Rick.
And he turned it off. What you doing the scene?
Yeah, I was doing the scene. So he stopped the camera and
then the the producers and was like, no, no, it's that's part
of the scene. The casting director had just
lost complete faith in me. And I obviously lost that.
My head was fucking just. As you walked out, you just came
(31:42):
stuck together. It was painful.
That was like my. Worst ever experience in a
casting it was. Honestly, when you left the
door, I did you go Oh. That was like, it's like a worst
nightmare, man. It was horrible.
But it was just the way that like it, the way that it read
was like basically he was like having a big raging fit and he
(32:06):
goes, right, fuck, they stop that, like telling the person to
stop that and then like move something out the way.
And the casting director just wasn't even listening and just
went, yeah, no worries, Rick, and stop the camera.
Oh my God. It was horrible, horrible.
Looks to say I did did get that to your agent.
Did you get feedback on that? Or no, no, I didn't get
feedback, I just didn't get it. But to be fair though, like
(32:26):
after the first little hiccups there, I got through all the
scenes fine. It was just that moment when he
did that and I even I was thinking why did he just stop
the camera if anything? And then when I reversed
engineered it, I was like. I know.
Yeah, 'cause. That's a good sign, isn't it?
Like that's what I. Mean, I made a joke in the room
about that, but he was like, oh,point.
He he he literally must have been sat down on the camera just
(32:47):
thinking he's going to fuck up any second, any second.
Yeah, there it is. Yep.
Stop. OK, no, he's.
Rick Oh cunt. Yeah, horrible, horrible.
Did she want Brassic? Yeah, I've never seen her.
Yeah, mine. She was that the one with the,
what's her name of her? Michelle Keegan.
Yeah. She fit.
She's lovely. She's lovely.
She fit a. Lot.
(33:08):
Wow. She's lovely.
Yeah. I mean, like, it'd be a life.
Something like, yeah, she is lovely, she sounds.
She she shall as well. She went from Manchester.
She, yeah, yeah, she's from Manchester.
That was like my first big gig, though.
What's? It called.
What was it? That was like my first big gig,
was it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe Gilligan, he's got yeah. He's like next level.
(33:31):
Do you know, it's like because Isee actors like just I don't
really have a ranking system. You know, when a comedian soon.
Well, I mean, not even an actor's doing well because she
just. Lost Joe was just like a
creative genius one, yeah. So my acting skills then I would
have been like an open maker, wouldn't I?
Yeah, you'd have been gong. What?
Yeah, you'd have been gong. So, Rick.
(33:52):
But we was a nice audience to fucking let you go.
I'm a loser baby. Wait, does that Joe Gilligan
producer or something? Saying, yeah, it's like he
writes and he writes it all downand he produced it as well.
But I don't think he like he does like the insurance and outs
of scripts, like he puts his ideas down to a scriptwriter.
Would you would you ever be up for Zoom?
(34:13):
Could we maybe just do it ourselves?
What script? Script.
Yeah. And after that, like what we
were called before, You know what I mean?
Yeah, so panel, do you? Want to do a panel panel?
Yeah, this panel is the one where I'm getting fucked by you
too, because I don't think that's covered.
For kids, we'll do like I know Dick Whittington, we'll cast
(34:34):
everyone or whatever or what's what's another panto?
Could we? Could we make Callum tree?
Just a panto like Aladdin. Yeah, we'll just have a fairy
tale panto. We'll just, we'll just have
Ricky's dormant, freezed. I'm going to say, well, I did
someone say Callum when he went Aladdin.
That's fucking bang out. Oh shit, yeah.
That's bad. That's bad that.
(34:54):
Everyone calls me. Everyone.
Everyone. He doesn't know that.
Yeah, we just found out, so I can.
Yeah, because I made the post init and I called it Kaladin,
remember? Really.
Dude. Jesus, man.
Yeah, I there's things I ate in acting.
All the things you ate acting. So I you are you.
(35:15):
You really love acting, don't you?
Not not you don't like obviouslydon't do it, but I mean you
love. I was.
I was called. You watched it, I'm saying.
I was called and stuff. I was called Oscar in drama.
It's called Oscar. Yeah.
Because, you know, in like dramain school.
No, because I always went for itand like, I deserve an Oscar.
(35:41):
Yeah. So you act like you write a
little play or something. So I've written like Charulin
Ashanti ROM com, right? Called Mesmerized where like
will the song? Yeah.
Like Willy Won'tly and like Nelly tries to win her and stuff
like that, that. Was Nelly's in her?
Yeah, Nelly's in it. I'd love to know where your
brain goes, you know? Honestly, I'd love.
(36:02):
To know what happens in that andit's fantastic.
And now he's now he's. Kelly as well.
Yeah, that's why Kelly's fuming.Because now it's been after a
Shanter Giroud wants her do whatI mean.
Yeah, Nelly and Kelly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But now he's always late and drills always on time.
(36:23):
So you basically what happened was you were on the bus to
school right over his head. You know, obviously, I just know
what happens. I know I was playing works now.
He was on the bus to school and on his playlist, mesmerized.
Come on. And then Eddie and Kelly come
on. And he was just daydreaming.
And I thought, oh, that'd be a great crossover, Wills.
No one walked. Well, I used to watch the
(36:44):
dilemma video like 20 times a day.
When they send a message on Excel.
Yeah, they send a message on Excel.
I love you. Now I need you.
Never. Yeah.
I love you. And it's more than you have
known. By It's for show.

You'll always come on my love forever.
Yeah. So it's like a musical play.
East Coast, Honestly, we went through like 100 plasters in
rehearsals. Shut.
Up, shut up, fuck off 100 plasters.
(37:36):
You ever done psychedelics? No, I've done, I've done
mushrooms. Not not like I'm not not in a
safe environment though. I need something like an
environment. Yeah, you do.
I'm just gonna say like, they can fuck you up.
Psychedelics. I I think it would you for Jamie
though. Have you done him?
Yeah. Oh.
What experiences up on Jeff? Mushrooms.
(37:57):
Nice little safe environment. Did it with Smith.
Yeah. We literally sat in his room
looking at a picture and just cried for about two hours.
It was great. I promise.
Right? Yeah.
Yeah, like they can get like when, when they're strong, you
just, your eyes just start tearing.
You just can cry. Oh, she wasn't like emotional.
He wasn't a mean. Oh yeah, it was like emotional
(38:17):
as well, but like we wasn't just.
Being allergic to them. Yeah, allergic.
Yeah. What's the picture of?
It's like loads of like just like it's like someone just
sprayed fucking like paint all over it.
But it's mad because after the trip you're looking at it going.
How is that the same fucking picture that we that we started
looking at because. Was you talking to you or was?
You man, I was just looking at the fucking.
(38:38):
Two hours fine. Mad didn't even say awesome
because it's all. Moving and it's just all fucking
for you know what your eyes are just fucking water.
And it's like, Oh my. God, look at that.
How did you feel good after that?
It was good. It was sick good.
Cleanse. Yeah, proper cleanse.
See now if he doesn't psychedelics though he might not
be funny. No, but I'd just love to see
like because his brain goes different places anyway.
(38:59):
So yeah, but that might, he might reset his brain and he'd
just be normal Jimmy. It wouldn't be funny anymore.
But when? The magic, Jamie just got up and
he was just like, it'd open the door, you know what I mean?
Like, it reset his brain. There's nothing to say that the
psychedelics could reset your brain.
Yeah, yeah. So if he gets reset and he's
just a normal bloke and he's just, he knows how to, like,
wipe his ass. He knows how to open the door.
And then he comes in a pod and he's just like, oh, yeah, I do.
(39:22):
All right, lad. Dummy garden today.
I'm like what the fuck it's up to?
You you've got a garden. So yeah, we can't let them.

Guy was like, yeah, you just need these truffles.
Said just have half, that's all you need.
That's like the sound. So started eating.
(39:43):
I had half of them. Smith was there again and he was
like, why have you at half? I was like, I don't know.
The guy just said the half and he went, no, you need all of
them like broccoli. But he was dead serious like
because he knows I've done it before.
So I was like, yes. So the second I had the last
one, he went. You've had a nightmare there
you. Know.
(40:04):
That's put doubt in you before you die, yeah.
Yeah, I'm going to die. It fucks me absolutely because I
was like, Oh no, like everythingjust fell through me.
I was like studying Amsterdam, just head for it wasn't even
busy and it felt like all these noises, people walking past me.

So yeah, he was like 12 of us. So every time I was like quiet,
just like looking at the table. Everyone was just at me on my
head. That's what was making my head
fall off. The last person you need wrong
that's Callum, isn't. It mate, Callum was the best to
be fair. Was he?
(40:47):
Everything he said was just fucking gold.
And I mean. I was like, you were that nice
boy. Yeah, everything he said was
just gold. And like once I'd broke past
that. Yeah, I thought he wanted to
like, fucking send you under. Like he sends me under.
I don't even do psychedelics. Tells everyone to carry a toilet

Saying that. I remember on Smith's first
actor, we was in Berlin. I was fucking levelled as

do you if you went just landed or.
(45:35):
Still left to bed alone, you know.
Left him not on my own, everyoneelse was still there, but I woke
up like that late. He checked in, flew.
I went home a day early basically and he was going to do
the same as he was. Staying over there.
Yes, stay on the day. Yeah, but I shit the bed.
I shit the bed. We only had, we only had that
(45:57):
room for like that period of time.
Yeah. Yeah.
So the last night I've had to goon skyscraper to get a flight
home. Yeah.

wasn't it? More than that.
Yeah, more than that. Sweaty aces, though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 28, Baby 20. 7/28.
(46:45):
So while you're doing that, I was singing Shout out to my ass.
Fucking hell beat. That was a good show do.
You have any acting X? Here's one of mine.
I don't know if he's acting or script writing all right, but
say especially in soaps or British charmers, right,
(47:06):
Someone's in hospital. It's some it's like, I think it
demonises the working Class A bit.
Me. So they go, yeah, we've she's
she's had she's got a collapsed lung.
So we need to get into there andpush it back up.
But what does that mean? Like the speaking loads of
medical jargon. What does that?
(47:28):
Mean. Not saying in.
English, but it'll be all right.But I hate that.
But it'll be all right, won't you, doc?
Shut the fuck up mate. But do you think you have the
actor in in stuff you watch? Is is not the best, is it?
I watch all the good stuff. You watch Paradise yet?
No. I mean like EastEnders, let's
say. Yeah, EastEnders is mint.
(47:50):
Though I don't mint you, I don't.
You like it? I'm not.
Saying no, but I watch good charms as well.
I watch Breaking Bad. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
They they're really good acting.I mean, EastEnders isn't it
sounds. Good Breaking Bad, but acting
wise like the actors. You get what I'm saying?
You know, like what? It's very like, it's very
dramatic. It's.
I think that's why. It's over the top, yeah.
Yeah, over the top, isn't it? Yeah, but I hate that though.
(48:12):
You know why he was that? He was that hit.
He used to shout Ricky, you know, You know what I mean.
What's his name? Bianca Joe, I'll say it as well,
is villain to acts I call intelligent giant villains to
have a chess board and that and this and this.
Speaking riddles. Do what I mean.
You know what I mean? What do I like?
Why? Is that a problem though?
(48:33):
Like a villain will come in, like the hero will come in, and
the villains and heroes are stressed, like you killed my
daughter. Oh the the Bishop can only move
diagonally. Yeah, OK, alright, OK.
Maybe that's how I see you, a Bishop.
And they're like, what are you on about?
(48:53):
You've killed me, daughter. But I'm the Queen, that's what I
mean is. That what you wouldn't.
You must have stuff like, you must have stuff like that.
Though is that the one that you didn't get to, didn't get the
that villain on? Yeah.
You kept getting the chest finger on you went you're the
(49:14):
on. You can only move side to side.
I mean diagonal. He went in as a chess master,
kept explaining Ludo rules. You got a six.
That means you can gob again. What's your athletes then, Rick?
(49:40):

Work. Would you take a salt role like
a long term? Yeah, I would, but.
(50:02):
Ten years, so Nah. No, Nah, I won't do it long
term. I wouldn't want to Corrie, I'd

100% I wouldn't be against. He'd be sick in Corrie, wouldn't
he? Been in Corrie and Hollyoaks.
Giving that to kid dinner. Yeah, put it in your legs kid,
and be when you move in though you wanted the phone in the
hours. Listen to this So when I was on
(50:23):
Corrie, yeah, my dad was in hospital.
He was getting his knee done or something.
And he did. Survive is it?
Going to be all right. What do you mean the name?
And he told all the nurses that was on Corrie and it was like
whilst whilst he was in there. So I'd kidnapped this kid, held
him hostage or something in a white van and then.
(50:44):
That was the trail. And then I'll cut to Tony's
Toby. Yeah.
Yeah, cut to my joke. Get in a van.
No. And it's like I.
Got held up by a gun by Gary Windas.
Anyway, my dad had like talk, spoke to all the nurses on the
ward and they had like, I don't know, they were quite funny from
(51:05):
North Manchester. They had quite a bit of banter.
So as I was leaving one day whenI visited him, like they'd not
like said anything. And as I was walking down the
ward, one of them went Rick and I was like, yeah.
And she was like, stay away fromthem kids.
You that's. Funny that and my dad was like.
Laughing like, yeah, yeah, everyone else in the bedroom.
(51:30):
But people in Manchester as wellwere like proper like getting
their getting their heads up because it happened on a Friday.
So there was no show back on till Monday.
So that weekend anyone that saw me like they were literally
going mad going hey, give him back round town.
I swear down. You think it's real?
You believe me? It's mud.
(51:51):
Give him back proper invested. All the monks, Yeah.
I don't think I could meet someone in EastEnders me just
because to me it's like wrestling.
Do what I mean. Don't you see that everyone
going mad at John Cena like turning the badder?
Heel. Yeah, Heel.
Yeah. I couldn't see EastEnders and
see them out of character. It would just play.
(52:12):
It would just. Like me, it's like you say what
when you meet your heroes? It's 2 worlds that I don't want
to collide. I know, I know it's fake and
stuff obviously, but I want to for that half an hour, I just
want to shut off from reality. What do you?
Think what do you think then, because you're you love your
soaps, let's just say with EastEnders, because we should
(52:33):
say colleagues Manchester and stuff.
Let's say EastEnders because we know more about it.
Well, you do. What do you think Rick's perfect
role be as the Rick we know and and put them in your East End as
well? Yeah, Rick would make a great
lovable rogue where he comes in,he stirs shit up a bit and he's
a bit like Joe, a bit like robbed, like Rooney was as a
(52:55):
kid. So like he's not coached yet and
it's a bit of a bad boy and he'slike, he has anger issues and
stuff and he kicks off with the Mitchells and stuff.
But then eventually bit like Ravi is now.
Do you watch it? Ravi is now.
So it's a bit of a rogue, bit ofa drug dealer and stuff.
But in the end he comes to the aid of someone on the square and
it's like, Oh no, he's a bastard.
(53:16):
What? He's a bastard.
Do you know what I mean? Like a protector of the square
sort of thing. That's me that actually does
something, isn't it? Yeah, so was.
He's a bastard, but he's a habit.
Yeah, it's like a protector. Yeah.
Yeah, he's ultimately protector do.
You think that's accurate? Accurate.
I think that's bang on. That would be like a dream role.
(53:41):
I'm sick of I'm sick of making roles 1.
What about me? What will I be in EastEnders?
Just a fat boss, A fat bodies that counts.
Just can't get past that one rolling.
No, you're. Typecasting typecast down a very
(54:02):
big hole. Very big pigeonhole.
Oh God. Oh, that's not fair.
I want to be. I want to be someone else.
I think you'd be like the loveable, like Nigel was in the
90s, like a loveable oaf. Unlucky on, unlucky on love.
Oh. I think you would be like
(54:24):
perfect in like a Superbad role,like I'm a Superbad.
Superman or Superbad? Super?
What I say because I'm a Superbad.
Me man. I'm not flying me, mate.
No, because as you say, pigs don't fly.
Oink oink. He rips his top off.
The Superman logo comes to there.
(54:44):
Faggot, you know. Yes.
You can get Batman on this one. This one kids being in a fire.
I'm just like that, like smoke. And if the fucking hell change
the light of a Batman, you do this cunt, That's funny that I
(55:06):
will that be the funny? Good sketch, that.
That would be a good sketch. Do sketches because you because
you've got that two crossovers with actor and comedy.
Yeah, I would do him well. We got older.
Just can you? It's like can you be asked
though, isn't it? It depends what your market is
as well though, because if you start pigeonhole in yourself
down 1 certain area there will. Take that's what I mean, Jamie.
(55:29):
That's what I think. Me and Jamie are stuck it alone
because you know, we cope with so many genius ideas, but we
don't want to have a cop. We don't want to have a cop set.
Never. What?
Corps on set? Corps.
Yeah, like burst out laughing. Yeah.
We did it doing adverts once. I mean, we had to come in like
the day after 'cause we just. Finished the advert.
Oh fucking hell. We we will there be there that
(55:50):
long? And he was like, he must have
been 70 outtakes or what? He was just advert.
It's 'cause he was shit, like, hey guys.
Yeah, I swear. I mean, we're in tears.
Yeah, it took about 3 hours thatI'd say 2 hours, Say two hours.
And in the end, like we said, wehave to come back tomorrow.
We couldn't do it. Yeah, like what?
Was it like when you came back? Because we don't like this.
(56:12):
Yeah. That day, we just like.
I had it but it was aimed at me because of the lines I was
saying and I tried to keep it together.
I probably burst on about 5 but it went on for fucking ages and
the director was like it was funny but then it got to the
point where it wasn't funny but it was even more funnier.
Towards like, I love outtakes. And a film called Pebbling the
(56:32):
Boy. And then we're meant to be like
2 like rough like motorbike gangs.
And then they're like little geeks on a scooter that come
into our pub. But we're nice lovable rogues.
There you go. Rogues.
And we're speaking to him and I like, say something like dead
serious going. And I scattered his ashes in San
Francisco. And then I like, but like, I'd
(56:55):
say like, keep aiming at this kid.
And he was just in bits. He was just killing him every.
Time where one goes lads, you don't fall out but then.
He's speaking for the word I. Couldn't even look at him so I
was like looking at the walls and like not even aiming at them
because if I looked at one I just fucking cried.
Yeah, where we used to be adverts when we first started
like I in the end he just gave me two words to say Alvin with a
(57:16):
thing and it was green room and when I come to him I go green
room but it. Just sounds like a dude.
Just. Pierced out laughing.
Oh God, catch him in my side. I just going.
I was called Lab. I was just going.
Because I'm like, are you tired of your pubic region?
(57:37):
And then I'd go green room. That's what's the code with
Sony. And I'd just go green room.
That's all our homes give it allowed to have.
Actually, I have a terrible act on allies.
We were. We used to dig that out too.
Can't act that when you just fucking 100% real.
That's what I say baby. Loyal mates.
Loyal. Don't be about to loyal to you.
(57:59):
Loyalty over every reckoner. Have you done a sex scene?
No, never. Would you be a father?
Me and you, what do they do in sex scenes and.

No, you're, you're just like. You're just.
Vulnerable at this point, I think.
You're you're just like I'd loveto, but I you've not, you've
never shot until you tell that Jamie that you've had enough and
I'm like, you're going to sell your boys.
How are you? Nah, not for you.
I'm staying with you. Come on man.
And then what do I do? Well, you're just like, you
(08:42):

Sides, right, right. So you just start down, Just put
your hand on your chest there. Yeah.
And then just bite your lip a bit.
Let's move it down slower. So.
So slower. Keep your eye contact.
(09:02):
If anyone wants to fund us. Jamie, I don't know if this is
for you or if this is not like this is for you.
At this point, just keep going A.
Little bit lower I just touch. I'm telling, I'm telling you to
stay away from her. So.
So I'm saying to him, no, you'vegot to choose between your mates
or me. No, not in that way.
Oh, you're just a good girl. OK.
(09:24):
Yeah, you're a good girl. And you don't what?
You don't what? Bring any bad stuff because you
know what happened to your dad. What happened to my dad?
Oh, we don't know. We're.
Not going to tell him that drama.
Oh, we find out later in the film, I killed your dad because
he owed me money. He was you secretly but and
you're like, that's why your mumis just like don't see any of
these rolled men. They're not for changing.
(09:46):
He is. Just enrolled man.
I thought say I was. I thought it was like
Americanized. No, he's.
Always going to the UK? Haven't.
Me. Yeah, he's.
Yeah, I've seen his accents. Hey man, Tony, why don't you
come back to mine? Is it set a liverpooler?
Yeah, but Liverpool, Manchester area.
(10:08):
I reckon GPT could write this for us.
I think so. So he's like, he's, he generally
wants to change, but he's too scared of me being like a toxic
man. Do what I mean.
And it's all about toxicity. Are you the main gang?
Are you the gangster who gets ona work and stuff?
Yeah, yeah. But deep down I want a
connection. He wanted.
You I want a connection deep. Down.
(10:29):
I tell him to say away from you because.
You want to fuck me? Because I feel sorry that that
killed your dad. But you fancy me as well.
I fancy everyone fancies you. Baby, baby.
So I'm like, because I can't, I'll never be able to beat him,
but I'm like a sneaky little ratway to get him, get him away.
And then he finds out I've been seeing you.
(10:53):
I've been seeing you because I Isay, Oh no, I'm a goodbye.
I'm a businessman. I'm in construction.
I woo you. Yeah.
I take your flower. I do flower you.
I do flower you. Yeah.
You're like, tie yourself up andall that.
Have a cold shower. And then he finds out about it.
(11:14):
Then he tells you that I killed your dad.
And then he bangs me out for it.And then who do I end up with?
You. End up with him.
But you'd have flower me. Will he take?
Will he take a broken toy though?
What? That's what the film's called
broken. The broken toy that's sick.
(11:35):
We're going to be millionaires. Please.
Yeah, and I'm a drug dealer, butI actually own a Toys-R-Us.
You're a witch. A Toys-R-Us.
Well, that's what you wash your money through.
Yeah, wash your money through. So there's lots of ways I would
have broken toy you can be. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but really, we know deep down it's because I I'm a broken
toy. Yeah.
Every time you come in for a meeting with me, I'm working on
a broken toy. That's a symbolism I'm fixing
(11:57):
like an alarm clock on that. Yeah.
Yeah. Because the time's not right.
Oh shit, that. Was pretty smooth, I'm glad you
pulled it back with that. Do you fancy starting with that
then, Rick? If it's you, he's the broken
toy, yeah. Yeah, you'll be able to fix me
I. Think so.
What's your dream role? Because you spent years being

Dorman Friedrich, you'll ever get Storman too?
Yeah, no. Hopefully be Dorman one one day.
That'll be a dream. Do you know what I mean?
You've been dying to get trained.
I know it's been dying to get you on the train on the way
maybe. Just rude.
That's so rude. Do you remember when me, you and
(12:39):
Callum were drinking the other week and he was fucking blitzed?
Right Proper pissed me off driving all night.
You know, I said I was going to have a drink after I'd finished

Fucking comedian you. And everyone just went what the
fuck anyway. Just because.
You've been odd man free in Coronation Street and then just
shut up and then just cut just out and over.
That was nice. It come from, it come from
somewhere fucking deep there andI was sat there.
I'm glad you said this by the because I've been saying he's a
(13:22):
narcissist, yeah, for years. And these fans see a different
They don't know this Jamie, the one who who was scared of.
No, but he's he saw me down the river on Key St.
Mate. I'll push.
No, he asked. He asked the doormans.
Go, go. I thought that for his selfie, I
was dead buzzing about. No one knows, you show.
(13:46):
So the funniest part, the funniest one last week, the
funniest one last week where we'd all the green room.
You were just having having it back and forth.
And then you thought he'd left. Walks out the green room.
But he stayed. There you go.
I'll bang him. Yeah, I'll fucking smash his
head. And then he just ran back down
he went. I was a bitch there, you know?
(14:09):
Yeah. Callum, you stayed there for
ages. Did you listen?
He's gone. Yeah, I'll bang him anyway.
I think I'm bothered. I'll smash his head.
Callum, would you say that to his face?
Yeah. And he's.
Jumping walks up Walker what I say to.
His face, yeah, fucking slow. Ohh God, he's a wind up.
Ohh God that's funny. Sorry I said that man.
(14:31):
I know what you like, It's only for a long time, Jamie.
Yeah, ohh, we started. At the same time.
Yeah. Yeah, rocked up.
What was it? And he was a mess then.
Beat the frog, yeah. He's better now, though.
He's he's better, he's controlled, he's messiness.
That's what he's doing, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, he always had it. He.
Just didn't know what's fucking.Was he like Fargo back to I
(14:51):
didn't know him then. Was he like Fargo?
He was a lost cause mate. He was a lost cause.
I was. I was Derby 08 bro.
He's he's pulled that lostness and he now just.
Works with it and it's magic now.
So well done, Jamie. Thank you mate, it was called
Polish right back in the day. Why?
He was Polish, right? 15 So because obviously I act,
(15:11):
yeah, I felt comfortable on stage as an act, so I just
pretended. Because if you didn't go well,
you could hide behind the act. So I don't well.
Yeah, so I just pretended to be Polish and I just take the piss
out the English. That was your act you started.
But it was you had Polish peoplecome up and speak Polish to him
after. Yeah, yeah, people coming up to
(15:32):
me and like Polish people were turning up to me gigs and.
That he was just nailed it up. Speaking to me in Polish after
gigs and. That and you didn't.
You didn't know a word. Not a clue.
I just like some 1 gig after I remember was at the Comedy Store
and a guy come up to me and he was like, I've told my friend
she's Polish right? And I've told her to stay away
from Polish guys. But we've saw you tonight and we
(15:53):
think you're perfect. She wants to speak to you and
she came home and started speaking in Polish and she's
going to. And I just went yes, I just
shook around and walked off. I didn't know what to fucking
do. I couldn't break the illusion.
I didn't know what to. Fucking talk to good Vincent.
I thought it was Polish as well.Did you use?
Polish as well. But I turn up to gigs in like
track suits and that and if theydidn't know who I was, I'm after
(16:18):
the gig and it don't start till 8:00.
And I was like, Oh no, I'm one of the acts.
And they were looking at me because my ACT sometimes were
like a full on a dealer tracksuit and they'd just be
like. Oh.
You're an act. And I was like, yeah, yeah,
Polish Rick. And then they were just kind of
question in life, like, oh. Fuck off, we just.
P Rick Brick. Did you did you always do the
ACT or did you then try just normal stand up as you did?
(16:39):
Two gigs as me. I thought I fucked this.
Yeah, yeah. Because I remember I was gigging
for Alex Boardman and like 15 minutes in, they were just
stories about me but with a Polish accent.
And he said to me after the gig he was like, all that stuff
after 5 minutes was just you, but you did it in a Polish
accent. So you need I I want to hear
what you who your story. And yeah, yeah, yeah.
(17:00):
That's sweet, so I tried it as me died on my.
Ass. Thanks, Alex.
I fucked this so I just fucked it off.
I only did it to keep busy whilst that seems quiet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then when the acting started
picking up. Because what?
Because that is. Because obviously we don't.
I've only refused that one and it's yours.
Your love is the acting isn't italways will be owner than the
stand up or. Would you?
(17:21):
It's just more of a hobby now. Not really honest about it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not really bothered about it, I
just jump on as and when. Yeah.
If it comes free, I'll do it. But is it because of the you
don't want to go dive into too much because you can just call
for work somewhere. I've not got a love for stand
up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was more to keep crazy than keep.
Busy. Yeah, yeah, I like just then.
I just like doing it. I don't really love stuff.
(17:42):
I don't like something really, but I like doing it.
Yeah, 20 minutes on stage is sick.
It's just all the other fucking shit, Yeah.
Yeah. So have you got any, any plans,
anything coming up? Any big, big actors?
I've got a couple of auditions coming, but that's all right.
I will get in touch him. Yeah, he's a good actors, I
think. Good one.
I think he's a really good actor.
(18:03):
I am good. I think he's really good.
Do you? Remember when you happen every.
Time you do like a little actingsketches.
German happy slap there. German happy slap surfing.
Yeah, I did like a Polish Rick version where I'd get my phone
and I'd just like pretend to take a selfie with someone and
just whack the phone off the face and in town once.
Did you start playing? No, I just go.
And then storms off and he's little quick.
(18:29):
Yeah. Have we got the video?
Yeah, I will. Was you a liability then going
out there when he was, when he was 2015, when he first started?
Was you drinking? Have you done?
Yeah. Yeah, he's back.
Was he? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was a mess.
Did you have to look after him? I just used to get Sats every
(18:51):
six months for being pissed at work.
Did you piss that work? There was once when we did a
gig, didn't want it. I think you spoke right before
on the pod where someone startedon you to get involved during a
gig. Lads, just.
To jump into doorman mode from comedian to doorman.
Fucking flew about. Fuck fuck for doorman free
tonight, babe. He was doorman on that night.
(19:12):
He's like the bodyguard, WhitneyHouston, the way he got son
over, didn't we? We got to know, we signed out.
We signed out of a guy called Dance Off who was brilliant.
I mean, I don't think it's on itdeliberately like, but he booked
us for his works Christmas too. They work for Barclays.
They work for Barclays. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The story in Knutsford. So it's just got a few of us,
(19:35):
mate. Sam, we're getting £50 each,
£100 each. And really that's like 10 grand
job. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everyone's in tuxedos and that and they're just fucking
scavenging free drink vouchers. And stuff.
We were sat on the bench like wewas in school.
Honestly, So the stage is there,yeah, I'd go and do him a bit.
There's 4 the benches on the stage.
(19:55):
You step bench on the stage. That's horrific.
And then four. And then it's like we're all
doing our solos in West like that.
Obviously, like, yeah, it's factor when it goes like the
chair challenge. Yeah, yeah, but the only one is
waiting to go on. Oh.
My God, I I did a bit about Warrington, like saying 49% of
Warrington. I think the man can love
(20:18):
Manchester, 49% of Warrington scouts and love Liverpool. 2% of
Warrington just fucking love Warrington man.
And this guy just jumps up square ups man.
What you saying about Warringtonlad?
I've just been listening. And then it was square up to me.
But I'm trying to like, I've gotto keep my persona.
(20:39):
Don't mean I can't like, flap itbecause I've got a hard persona,
I hope. So what happens?
I'm just supposed to get punchedfor the heart.
So what, did you find them back?You had to, yeah.
You had to and then Rick typed in for me did the.
Gig go well though. Yeah, everyone was on my side
because everyone was like, what you're doing you?
It was horrible though it. Was horrible.
(21:00):
One thing that you always had though, that he always had when
we started out, regardless whether there was two people in
the room or 200, he'd always do like shit.

He was going to say like, you know, he'd act the same if you
see one of those. No shit.
It'd always finger, it'd always give the same energy and like
100% each time. And like sometimes when you get
up, you feel I can't be fucking.Asked that's my that's what my
(22:32):
and my worst states that I think, you know, if there's like
20 people in I'm like I can't beasked.
It's when really you shouldn't do that because they just paid
the exact same prices. But I went for yeah, It's not
for the it's not. It's not about the 100 and 898
people who aren't here. It's about you. 2 Polish
tourists. What?
(22:57):
The fuck? Oh, God.
Did you, did you know your character actor?
Because I started off with the character, actually, when I was
18. You did?
Yeah. Yeah.
First, first two years, I'd say.Yeah.
Sandal, I was a character. Yeah, I was.
I was. About a fat loser who couldn't
pull so big Stretch. What'd you say, mate?
What? I didn't hear you.
What? You say I said it was about this
(23:19):
guy who was like victims and that.
So you think I was a character? That's because you was.
No I'm saying I'm saying just the question is before I was
rudely interrupted by my Co host.
And a friend. Well, my colleague, I really
it's by my colleague. I don't know character active.
It was basically someone suffering from domestic violence
(23:42):
and I was a bit heavy, but it but it wasn't domestic violence.
I was making out it was, but it was silly stuff that big
girlfriend was doing to me and Iwas thinking it was domestic
violence, like making me beans on social, one piece of toast
and start crying on stage. But all right, listen, it worked
sometimes. But the question is, was did
you, did you do the ACT because you were scared of dying?
(24:05):
No, I just felt more, I felt more comfortable as an act.
Like not being myself because I was acting wasn't doing stuff, I
was acting. So you know, I'm going to.
Then I figured out pretty quickly.
Sorry, yeah. I was scared of dying, I think.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but then I figured out
pretty quickly that you can't beon stage as an actor, you have
to be a comedian. And I didn't appreciate the fact
that there was a different side of it.
(24:26):
Do you think so? There is.
Definitely, yeah. It's a whole, it's a whole
different fucking game. That's why a lot of TikTok stars
have got this out of these toursand fair play to them selling
out, making some bank. But the shows are fucking
horrendous. Horrific.
Because they can't are right here.
Because they've not got the it'sa different skill set.
That's why I might always shit then.
Yeah, I know. Thought I can put a camera
(24:47):
together already. A sketch together don't mean
we've seen that sketch that I made for the fucking birthday
show. Oh, you see that, didn't you?
Yeah. Yeah, you think you just go back
there? Oh good mate, I could switch
bro. Give me give me a scenario and
an emotion. Oh yeah, no, this is this is
view. So I don't.
(25:08):
Yeah, right. Give me a scenario and emotion.
You I've just found out that your mum and dad have both just
died in a car crash and you havejust got to a job interview and

Do you have good? Mouth.
He's got the job. What do you reckon?
Yeah, I think he'd start somehow.
A round of applause there, yeah.Class Well done do.
(27:18):
You think you could do that at an audition?
Yeah, I'd smash it. Really do.
You want to give me one? No.
OK. Go on.
What's this for? Go on, James.
You just don't see your face, right?
Right. You're, you're a fat bum.
Sleep on your dad's couch and you've got to do a podcast where
(27:41):
you're all where it's about highperformance and you've got
you've got an interview Rick about his his performance
routine, like his daily routine from a high performance
perspective, but you're secretlya fat bum.
You sleep. So he's that's Couch.
Hi, Rick. Hello mate.
(28:01):
So where did the acting start? Let's because where my guests,
I'd like to go back to the start, you see.
So have you always had a passionfor acting?
Always. Always as a child, yeah.
What did you do as a child? Did you want like as your mum
and dad? Did they like did they not force
because you no, no, you know, seriously involved in the did
they did they, you know, supportyour, your your love for acting?
(28:26):
No, they didn't, didn't they? No, no.
It was just deep within and justdeep within to be, yeah.
So how old was you about when you thought you could, you
wanted to, you know, pursue thisas a maybe a career?
It was later on in life. 20 liveoff the university.
All right. Nice.
Well, let's get back to me Dad'scouch.
(28:49):
I'm sure it's after me. Sorry.
That really crumbled. That didn't.
It. I had listen to this, I had an
audition once, right? Have you ever had your last an
audition? I asked you A.
Question. This is what happened so I
wouldn't say dream job but it was the villain in like an ITV
(29:09):
drama and they sent the script out.
It was like 7 scenes. It was like 3 day turnover so I
had to get to London, learn all the scenes.
Nude men's out was perfect. This guy was meant to be like a
big raging steadhead blah blah blah.
It was perfect for me, like on Carrick, on paper, learn all the
scenes and for some reason on the train on the way down I just
(29:32):
felt anxious as fuck. I'd not had a good night's sleep
before, I think because I wantedit that much.
And. I was like.
It was so I was with my new agent as well, and it was like a
perfect, like big casting director got down, went in, but
I'd left my fucking script on the train.
I forgot. I don't know what happened.
I got off the train. My head was falling off as it
(29:52):
was because I was feeling a bit anxious.
I'd never get anxious. I lost some scripts, got there
early and I thought, right, I'll, I'll get there early.
I'll get it on my phone and I'llgo over it and I'll, I know it
anyway. I'm just being hard on myself.
Got there early. Soon as I got my phone, I was
like, oh, Rick, you're here, come on in.
And I was like. Oh.
Fuck. So everything was falling apart.
Got in the room and the the director, the casting director,
(30:15):
the producer and like three other like executives are all
there and my head fucking fell clean off.
First time it's happened in an audition, my head fell clean
off. I sat there and he was like,
right, do you want to just jump straight into it?
And I was just like, yeah, yeah,yeah, let's go.
Just went quiet. Didn't know what it was.
(30:36):
Three times it happened. I pulled a blank three times
just couldn't even get it out right.
And he was like, do you want thedo you want the script?
And I was like, please, yeah, sorry.
I didn't want to give any excuses.
As soon as I got the first couple of words and knew it, my
my head had just gone. So then I did the scenes
perfectly fine, right. And on one of the scenes there
was a bit where he's calm and then he switches right.
(30:58):
He gets a little bit fucking thethe stead of the name comes out
and started doing the scene and it got to that point and I went,
do you know what? Fuck this right get old.
And he just went no worries, Rick, And he turned the camera
off because he thought I was being like, I'd forgot the
fucking scene and he thought he he was waiting for me to fuck up
again. So I'm doing the scene going
(31:20):
right. Fuck this, get that.
And he just went, no worries, Rick.
And he turned it off. What you doing the scene?
Yeah, I was doing the scene. So he stopped the camera and
then the the producers and was like, no, no, it's that's part
of the scene. The casting director had just
lost complete faith in me. And I obviously lost that.
My head was fucking just. As you walked out, you just came
(31:42):
stuck together. It was painful.
That was like my. Worst ever experience in a
casting it was. Honestly, when you left the
door, I did you go Oh. That was like, it's like a worst
nightmare, man. It was horrible.
But it was just the way that like it, the way that it read
was like basically he was like having a big raging fit and he
(32:06):
goes, right, fuck, they stop that, like telling the person to
stop that and then like move something out the way.
And the casting director just wasn't even listening and just
went, yeah, no worries, Rick, and stop the camera.
Oh my God. It was horrible, horrible.
Looks to say I did did get that to your agent.
Did you get feedback on that? Or no, no, I didn't get
feedback, I just didn't get it. But to be fair though, like
(32:26):
after the first little hiccups there, I got through all the
scenes fine. It was just that moment when he
did that and I even I was thinking why did he just stop
the camera if anything? And then when I reversed
engineered it, I was like. I know.
Yeah, 'cause. That's a good sign, isn't it?
Like that's what I. Mean, I made a joke in the room
about that, but he was like, oh,point.
He he he literally must have been sat down on the camera just
(32:47):
thinking he's going to fuck up any second, any second.
Yeah, there it is. Yep.
Stop. OK, no, he's.
Rick Oh cunt. Yeah, horrible, horrible.
Did she want Brassic? Yeah, I've never seen her.
Yeah, mine. She was that the one with the,
what's her name of her? Michelle Keegan.
Yeah. She fit.
She's lovely. She's lovely.
She fit a. Lot.
(33:08):
Wow. She's lovely.
Yeah. I mean, like, it'd be a life.
Something like, yeah, she is lovely, she sounds.
She she shall as well. She went from Manchester.
She, yeah, yeah, she's from Manchester.
That was like my first big gig, though.
What's? It called.
What was it? That was like my first big gig,
was it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe Gilligan, he's got yeah. He's like next level.
(33:31):
Do you know, it's like because Isee actors like just I don't
really have a ranking system. You know, when a comedian soon.
Well, I mean, not even an actor's doing well because she
just. Lost Joe was just like a
creative genius one, yeah. So my acting skills then I would
have been like an open maker, wouldn't I?
Yeah, you'd have been gong. What?
Yeah, you'd have been gong. So, Rick.
(33:52):
But we was a nice audience to fucking let you go.
I'm a loser baby. Wait, does that Joe Gilligan
producer or something? Saying, yeah, it's like he
writes and he writes it all downand he produced it as well.
But I don't think he like he does like the insurance and outs
of scripts, like he puts his ideas down to a scriptwriter.
Would you would you ever be up for Zoom?
(34:13):
Could we maybe just do it ourselves?
What script? Script.
Yeah. And after that, like what we
were called before, You know what I mean?
Yeah, so panel, do you? Want to do a panel panel?
Yeah, this panel is the one where I'm getting fucked by you
too, because I don't think that's covered.
For kids, we'll do like I know Dick Whittington, we'll cast
(34:34):
everyone or whatever or what's what's another panto?
Could we? Could we make Callum tree?
Just a panto like Aladdin. Yeah, we'll just have a fairy
tale panto. We'll just, we'll just have
Ricky's dormant, freezed. I'm going to say, well, I did
someone say Callum when he went Aladdin.
That's fucking bang out. Oh shit, yeah.
That's bad. That's bad that.
(34:54):
Everyone calls me. Everyone.
Everyone. He doesn't know that.
Yeah, we just found out, so I can.
Yeah, because I made the post init and I called it Kaladin,
remember? Really.
Dude. Jesus, man.

Shanter Giroud wants her do whatI mean.

what happens. I know I was playing works now.
He was on the bus to school and on his playlist, mesmerized.
Come on. And then Eddie and Kelly come
on. And he was just daydreaming.
And I thought, oh, that'd be a great crossover, Wills.
No one walked. Well, I used to watch the

It's like loads of like just like it's like someone just
sprayed fucking like paint all over it.
But it's mad because after the trip you're looking at it going.
How is that the same fucking picture that we that we started
looking at because. Was you talking to you or was?
You man, I was just looking at the fucking.
(38:38):
Two hours fine. Mad didn't even say awesome
because it's all. Moving and it's just all fucking
for you know what your eyes are just fucking water.

How did you feel good after that?
It was good. It was sick good.

See now if he doesn't psychedelics though he might not
be funny. No, but I'd just love to see
like because his brain goes different places anyway.
(38:59):
So yeah, but that might, he might reset his brain and he'd
just be normal Jimmy. It wouldn't be funny anymore.
But when? The magic, Jamie just got up and
he was just like, it'd open the door, you know what I mean?
Like, it reset his brain. There's nothing to say that the
psychedelics could reset your brain.
Yeah, yeah. So if he gets reset and he's
just a normal bloke and he's just, he knows how to, like,
wipe his ass. He knows how to open the door.
And then he comes in a pod and he's just like, oh, yeah, I do.

That's like the sound. So started eating.
(39:43):
I had half of them. Smith was there again and he was
like, why have you at half? I was like, I don't know.
The guy just said the half and he went, no, you need all of
them like broccoli. But he was dead serious like
because he knows I've done it before.
So I was like, yes. So the second I had the last
one, he went. You've had a nightmare there
you. Know.
(40:04):
That's put doubt in you before you die, yeah.
Yeah, I'm going to die. It fucks me absolutely because I
was like, Oh no, like everythingjust fell through me.
I was like studying Amsterdam, just head for it wasn't even
busy and it felt like all these noises, people walking past me.

fall off. The last person you need wrong
that's Callum, isn't. It mate, Callum was the best to
be fair. Was he?
(40:47):
Everything he said was just fucking gold.
And I mean. I was like, you were that nice
boy. Yeah, everything he said was
just gold. And like once I'd broke past
that. Yeah, I thought he wanted to
like, fucking send you under. Like he sends me under.
I don't even do psychedelics. Tells everyone to carry a toilet

I went out till 6:00 and. We was all out and then I was

Left him not on my own, everyoneelse was still there, but I woke
up like that late. He checked in, flew.
I went home a day early basically and he was going to do
the same as he was. Staying over there.
Yes, stay on the day. Yeah, but I shit the bed.
I shit the bed. We only had, we only had that
(45:57):
room for like that period of time.
Yeah. Yeah.
So the last night I've had to goon skyscraper to get a flight
home. Yeah.
So the next night I've not got abed.
I've got sleep on the floor because fucking Reggie.
Reggie crazy in my bed. You pooed this bed.
I shit Reggie crazy. No one lean on on the wall, yet
(46:24):
this bed was. Going away No, no, no, no, no.
Don't you shit the bed, I think you shit the.
Bed last How long ago was this? That was like five years ago,
wasn't it? More than that.
Yeah, more than that. Sweaty aces, though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 28, Baby 20. 7/28.
(46:45):
So while you're doing that, I was singing Shout out to my ass.
Fucking hell beat. That was a good show do.
You have any acting X? Here's one of mine.
I don't know if he's acting or script writing all right, but
say especially in soaps or British charmers, right,
(47:06):
Someone's in hospital. It's some it's like, I think it
demonises the working Class A bit.
Me. So they go, yeah, we've she's
she's had she's got a collapsed lung.
So we need to get into there andpush it back up.
But what does that mean? Like the speaking loads of
medical jargon. What does that?
(47:28):
Mean. Not saying in.
English, but it'll be all right.But I hate that.
But it'll be all right, won't you, doc?
Shut the fuck up mate. But do you think you have the
actor in in stuff you watch? Is is not the best, is it?
I watch all the good stuff. You watch Paradise yet?
No. I mean like EastEnders, let's
say. Yeah, EastEnders is mint.
(47:50):
Though I don't mint you, I don't.
You like it? I'm not.
Saying no, but I watch good charms as well.
I watch Breaking Bad. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
They they're really good acting.I mean, EastEnders isn't it
sounds. Good Breaking Bad, but acting
wise like the actors. You get what I'm saying?
You know, like what? It's very like, it's very
dramatic. It's.
I think that's why. It's over the top, yeah.
Yeah, over the top, isn't it? Yeah, but I hate that though.
(48:12):
You know why he was that? He was that hit.
He used to shout Ricky, you know, You know what I mean.
What's his name? Bianca Joe, I'll say it as well,
is villain to acts I call intelligent giant villains to
have a chess board and that and this and this.
Speaking riddles. Do what I mean.
You know what I mean? What do I like?
Why? Is that a problem though?
(48:33):
Like a villain will come in, like the hero will come in, and
the villains and heroes are stressed, like you killed my
daughter. Oh the the Bishop can only move
diagonally. Yeah, OK, alright, OK.
Maybe that's how I see you, a Bishop.
And they're like, what are you on about?
(48:53):
You've killed me, daughter. But I'm the Queen, that's what I
mean is. That what you wouldn't.
You must have stuff like, you must have stuff like that.
Though is that the one that you didn't get to, didn't get the
that villain on? Yeah.
You kept getting the chest finger on you went you're the
(49:14):
on. You can only move side to side.
I mean diagonal. He went in as a chess master,
kept explaining Ludo rules. You got a six.
That means you can gob again. What's your athletes then, Rick?
(49:40):
Would you say you don't need them?
Yeah, when they say like I'm thinking what they're telling me
you're thinking stuff like thosethings.
What? What would you?
What would you be your dream role constant?
Work. Would you take a salt role like
a long term? Yeah, I would, but.
(50:02):
Ten years, so Nah. No, Nah, I won't do it long
term. I wouldn't want to Corrie, I'd
do it for a few years. If it came up I would definitely
100% I wouldn't be against. He'd be sick in Corrie, wouldn't
he? Been in Corrie and Hollyoaks.
Giving that to kid dinner. Yeah, put it in your legs kid,
and be when you move in though you wanted the phone in the
hours. Listen to this So when I was on
(50:23):
Corrie, yeah, my dad was in hospital.
He was getting his knee done or something.
And he did. Survive is it?
Going to be all right. What do you mean the name?
And he told all the nurses that was on Corrie and it was like
whilst whilst he was in there. So I'd kidnapped this kid, held
him hostage or something in a white van and then.
(50:44):
That was the trail. And then I'll cut to Tony's
Toby. Yeah.
Yeah, cut to my joke. Get in a van.
No. And it's like I.
Got held up by a gun by Gary Windas.
Anyway, my dad had like talk, spoke to all the nurses on the
ward and they had like, I don't know, they were quite funny from
(51:05):
North Manchester. They had quite a bit of banter.
So as I was leaving one day whenI visited him, like they'd not
like said anything. And as I was walking down the
ward, one of them went Rick and I was like, yeah.
And she was like, stay away fromthem kids.
You that's. Funny that and my dad was like.
Laughing like, yeah, yeah, everyone else in the bedroom.
(51:30):
But people in Manchester as wellwere like proper like getting
their getting their heads up because it happened on a Friday.
So there was no show back on till Monday.
So that weekend anyone that saw me like they were literally
going mad going hey, give him back round town.
I swear down. You think it's real?
You believe me? It's mud.
(51:51):
Give him back proper invested. All the monks, Yeah.
I don't think I could meet someone in EastEnders me just
because to me it's like wrestling.
Do what I mean. Don't you see that everyone
going mad at John Cena like turning the badder?
Heel. Yeah, Heel.
Yeah. I couldn't see EastEnders and
see them out of character. It would just play.
(52:12):
It would just. Like me, it's like you say what
when you meet your heroes? It's 2 worlds that I don't want
to collide. I know, I know it's fake and
stuff obviously, but I want to for that half an hour, I just
want to shut off from reality. What do you?
Think what do you think then, because you're you love your
soaps, let's just say with EastEnders, because we should
(52:33):
say colleagues Manchester and stuff.
Let's say EastEnders because we know more about it.
Well, you do. What do you think Rick's perfect
role be as the Rick we know and and put them in your East End as
well? Yeah, Rick would make a great
lovable rogue where he comes in,he stirs shit up a bit and he's
a bit like Joe, a bit like robbed, like Rooney was as a
(52:55):
kid. So like he's not coached yet and
it's a bit of a bad boy and he'slike, he has anger issues and
stuff and he kicks off with the Mitchells and stuff.
But then eventually bit like Ravi is now.
Do you watch it? Ravi is now.
So it's a bit of a rogue, bit ofa drug dealer and stuff.
But in the end he comes to the aid of someone on the square and
it's like, Oh no, he's a bastard.
(53:16):
What? He's a bastard.
Do you know what I mean? Like a protector of the square
sort of thing. That's me that actually does
something, isn't it? Yeah, so was.
He's a bastard, but he's a habit.
Yeah, it's like a protector. Yeah.
Yeah, he's ultimately protector do.
You think that's accurate? Accurate.
I think that's bang on. That would be like a dream role.
(53:41):
I'm sick of I'm sick of making roles 1.
What about me? What will I be in EastEnders?
Just a fat boss, A fat bodies that counts.
Just can't get past that one rolling.
No, you're. Typecasting typecast down a very
(54:02):
big hole. Very big pigeonhole.
Oh God. Oh, that's not fair.
I want to be. I want to be someone else.
I think you'd be like the loveable, like Nigel was in the
90s, like a loveable oaf. Unlucky on, unlucky on love.
Oh. I think you would be like
(54:24):
perfect in like a Superbad role,like I'm a Superbad.
Superman or Superbad? Super?
What I say because I'm a Superbad.
Me man. I'm not flying me, mate.
No, because as you say, pigs don't fly.
Oink oink. He rips his top off.
The Superman logo comes to there.
(54:44):
Faggot, you know. Yes.
You can get Batman on this one. This one kids being in a fire.
I'm just like that, like smoke. And if the fucking hell change
the light of a Batman, you do this cunt, That's funny that I
(55:06):
will that be the funny? Good sketch, that.
That would be a good sketch. Do sketches because you because
you've got that two crossovers with actor and comedy.
Yeah, I would do him well. We got older.
Just can you? It's like can you be asked
though, isn't it? It depends what your market is
as well though, because if you start pigeonhole in yourself
down 1 certain area there will. Take that's what I mean, Jamie.
(55:29):
That's what I think. Me and Jamie are stuck it alone
because you know, we cope with so many genius ideas, but we
don't want to have a cop. We don't want to have a cop set.
Never. What?
Corps on set? Corps.
Yeah, like burst out laughing. Yeah.
We did it doing adverts once. I mean, we had to come in like
the day after 'cause we just. Finished the advert.
Oh fucking hell. We we will there be there that
(55:50):
long? And he was like, he must have
been 70 outtakes or what? He was just advert.
It's 'cause he was shit, like, hey guys.
Yeah, I swear. I mean, we're in tears.
Yeah, it took about 3 hours thatI'd say 2 hours, Say two hours.
And in the end, like we said, wehave to come back tomorrow.
We couldn't do it. Yeah, like what?
Was it like when you came back? Because we don't like this.
(56:12):
Yeah. That day, we just like.
I had it but it was aimed at me because of the lines I was
saying and I tried to keep it together.
I probably burst on about 5 but it went on for fucking ages and
the director was like it was funny but then it got to the
point where it wasn't funny but it was even more funnier.
Towards like, I love outtakes. And a film called Pebbling the
(56:32):
Boy. And then we're meant to be like
2 like rough like motorbike gangs.
And then they're like little geeks on a scooter that come
into our pub. But we're nice lovable rogues.
There you go. Rogues.
And we're speaking to him and I like, say something like dead
serious going. And I scattered his ashes in San
Francisco. And then I like, but like, I'd
(56:55):
say like, keep aiming at this kid.
And he was just in bits. He was just killing him every.
Time where one goes lads, you don't fall out but then.
He's speaking for the word I. Couldn't even look at him so I
was like looking at the walls and like not even aiming at them
because if I looked at one I just fucking cried.
Yeah, where we used to be adverts when we first started
like I in the end he just gave me two words to say Alvin with a
(57:16):
thing and it was green room and when I come to him I go green
room but it. Just sounds like a dude.
Just. Pierced out laughing.
Oh God, catch him in my side. I just going.
I was called Lab. I was just going.
Because I'm like, are you tired of your pubic region?
(57:37):
And then I'd go green room. That's what's the code with
Sony. And I'd just go green room.
That's all our homes give it allowed to have.
Actually, I have a terrible act on allies.
We were. We used to dig that out too.
Can't act that when you just fucking 100% real.
That's what I say baby. Loyal mates.
Loyal. Don't be about to loyal to you.
