There these things they put in in trainers now Yeah that make you run that help you they basically make you run fast. Is it like a bounce? Yes, I mean, it's unbelievable. Oh are those in the Nike ones? They in the yeah, well, the are ones the ones. Okay. all they're all using the technology now. But the first time you run in those, they're like moon boots, aren't they? Best thing ever. But you feel that bink? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeahah except. Because when I started running U Like in my head, I was never going have the shoes, never gonna have a watch. The lightub was not for me. I was I was not, you know, the rocky montage where' just Do you know what I mean? Yeah ye I wanted to cut off trackers no one could ever see me running Yes Cverse, Do you know what I mean? Yeah Yeah Maybe an old light Motley Cw shir. know what I'm saying? I'm not having anyone completely see me running or have any of the gear Yeah. No watch This is just not but I enjoyed You know, the headphones on and I enjoyed the Yeah, just for whatever it is, I just like getting out Lets get some tunes on and just run in.. Um And I sort of ran like that for a bit My wife's an unbelievable runner. She's like she' She's my inspiration. She and she's taking it on aboutbout four years ago and she's got so good. L she just ran a three hours and one minute marathon in Manchester. She's like next level. She ran for England for age. Honestly, she's the she's my She was my hero anyway, but now Jesus left So So she's getting into it. so stuff starts arriving, you know, these trainers and I'm a gear headad as well. I love I love my fashion and clothes I'm starting to sort of think about Maybe I should k start, you know messing about a bit and get a bit of the gear. Yeah And we ran My mate was born in the Copenhagen marathon Oh I bet that's a nice one to do. so we're go going and watch because he's from New York One of my best powals is amazing and And we're like, well, we'll go watch him run So we arrived on the Friday it was running the Sunday And I got this like big table of max champagne and magnums and lobsters is one of that, you know a few of his mates H rolling I got So this is on the Friday. This is on the Friday. think He's running on theay. Yeah, yeah yeah. So I'm getting involved. Yeah. This is about three or four years ago. Yeah And I'm like And they're talking about running it. I'm looking at I'm going if these have got it in 'em. Yeah ye. Do you know what I mean? I'm thinking. So we look online's like, yeah, you can join that, you can still get a place Why had to run it? I like Smashed like, yeah. S put me in. signign me in because our hotel was halfway aroundound So I thought if we get halfway, we go to the hotel hour and then see the end And then I was like, right, I need some ge. I like and I need a watch. so I got a watch. Yep yeep Gve got the shoes And now I'm starting to feel this like running in these things is unbelievable. Yeah. So I managed to managed to get round and finish the marathon and then from that day I was like, okay, I'm kind of I'm in now. You're hooked and did you Yeah. What was the time for that first marathon? You know what? about I sort of, you know, About everyone's got a story, but like about seven miles in M This thing I found was called an IT band went and it was like I'd been shot. Oh go And I thought, well, I just I'm finished. so I just but then I thought I can't I need the medal like I've come this far I didid like the last six miles, seven miles like limp round they did four hundred five. Gad dum me in because I thought I wanted a thought subf but look quite nice. Yeah So but then I did another one then I did I didn't really I didn't train and then I did another one in Florence, I didn't really train. but From here on in, I think I'm going to go again and I'm going actually do a bit of training now the idea of doing If you're lucky enough to be able to do marathons in different parts of the world must be a really great feeling. It's Maga. partarticularly if you're like you say, if your partner' into them kind of fun thing you go right We go to Florence totally We go there on the Friday car up Do it on the Sundayay and then have a little holiday for three or four days exactly. It's phenomenal. Because you can do the halves as well If you want to do it a bit easier But you also, it's what's interesting about Runy is that it feels, if you're not into it It feels so tedious and boring And then It's that lovely thing you suddenly get into it and you it's I think there's a thing called Runnerers High that you get this really lovely sort of serotonin oxytocin boost where you just feel fantastic. is And for what will you do It's really lovely because It's almost like your body has got out of the way of itself. So your brain is able to go becausecause you' got rid of all that know whether it's nervous energy or whatever or pent up Doth That's all gone, it's satiated and you're just left with your brain. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I found like I'd be on the side of the road just doing lyrics and recording voice notes of melodies and It's so funny. I've done that. Do you writeount I've done that a lot where I'll be going for a jog and then something comes to you and you just go, Oh God, I just have to get Yeah yeah just and write it down just so you've got it later. It's beautiful because you can hear sort of bird singing in the background. You know you know've been out in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, but it's so you have to get it down because if you don't Oh go. Yeah it'll just late' gone But it's yeah, imagine that. That'd be so funny just to see in the London marathon next year that just we see you on the side of the road and you're like, Dinny It's just trying to write a little song. It's like they're trying to interview you, and you're like just stay away from it. for a minute How does it work with you? Like when you write a song Argue Do you see first or do you feel first or hear first? Do you hear the music Or do you hear the lyrics? How does it work And It can be anything really I am I just just find a way in, you know, So Uh, So for this new album, for instance, like it's how I've written them where Some will be like maybe a loop Or like a yeah, that I'll just repeat over and over And then I'll just have a mic and then just start singing Maybe for five ten minutes and then listen back and go, o that bit was quite interesting And then they might even say a line and go, okay, there's a song. So I like to do that like just let the subconscious just do what it does. Yeah And I find that That's kind of Why why Again, like what I like this just it just feels like it's just happening, you know what I mean? Yeah. And then there's times where it's just literally ood old fashioned guitar or piano which is just traditional just playing around with chords. It's so amazing though because like The single we just put out, G Potendo is Like it's D B minor G And I've been playing those chords for That's the first ch you learn and you play them And they don't say anything to you And then one day you play ' them and then a song you get a song it's mind blowing and I don't understand where it comes from. I mean, it's amazing. and I know Obviously now I've been writing for You know, twenty five years whatever. So I know the tricks, I know how to sort of get You know, and I had to sort of get into it, you know I can put myself I give myself a shot of writing a song I still can't explain where you one day the decord gives you something that you've never And he's mad. and not only that It's like the words come as well, which you have no idea. And then you sort of can make sense of what you're trying to say after. But I find that I find that's why I love it so much why I think, you know, I'm obsessed with it. and it's why You know, obviously the whole AI question is you know, that Why would you let anything take that away from you? Yeah, I understand. It can do it and it's going to be quick and Yes The reason why I get up in the morning is to get that feeling, you know. It' it's like the marathon. It's like you can You know, that you can run a marathon or whatever. it'd be like running it and not running it getting the photo in the medal and everyone thinks you've runan it. Yeah. But you've not and you've not done the Yeah I' training, right? You're right, But I was thinking then basically Another analogy would be that you just get all the treasure. And you don't get the feeling of getting the metal detector out going to the beach Yeah and slowly going over each time until you get the beep beep beep and then you get the spade out and then you dig it up and you've got the little bit of treasure in it. Yeah ye, you know, and then you're able to turn it into a necklace or whatever. But that's to any kind of creative It's the u It's that cliche. It is the journey. It's it's so exciting where But I love interviewing musicians because I'm so curious about how it all happens because I've said this before, but comedy feels very visual that you'll see something and it's almost like a cartoon in your mind Yeah. And then it feels like It's our job to find the words that make people see the cartoon in your head. Yeah ye so that they can see what you've seen instantly. Yeah ye. whereereas and that that's why I really It's really interesting hearing you talk about freeforming and then listening back to the freeform again. okay, right. now how do we put this Yeah together? Be I like I really like the the way it foreta music will make me feel. so And I tend to Say from Let's say I've got a really nice loop Ill I'll stand. have the mic. And it'll make me move in a certain way And all that is part of what what's coming out of my mouth. So you know, a way in which you can, you know, tighten your throat so you bit more spiky or or a way in which you, you know, like you become a character of sorts. And I find that amazing. and I find like I have to sort of get into it, like almost get into a role when when the music's coming out. Yeah, that's interesting. and then it's like, oh, that bit there when you sort of did that And then it's like right, okay, there's something in that. takeake that Th a few goes at that. it's just a, you know, it's just a way I've kind of always done it. and And it's amazing how the first sort of sparks Like you can't sort of beat. H I've got better at that. I used to be in the studio long hours. And now I just go right four, five solid No distractions, no phone, no nothing. and honestly, my Output is just I've just gone through the roof because it's just I get My job do the four. with the kids that, you know, rather than do it I usually like thir it I start at like ten at night through the night, you know, and then then kill myself. If I'd not written anything, I'd be like the worst fucking human in the world. mean? Like I couldn't live with it But now I'm like, nah, no, no, it's all good. Just if it happens in four, great. if it don't Tmorrow is another day. Well, that's it. and then it will it will but it's about the It's the tonnage, isn't it? It's about As long as you're there every day. Yeah, it will it'll eventually break Is mant that? It is that. And when open on tourn, I've not written it, you thank God I don't know. A I ever write again? Yeah, it's weird Next up in studio is the very funny comedian Sindu V with some amazing stories about her formidable mother What is your next bit thing? Fake hot dogs. Fake hot dogs. Okay. What? My mother's gonna come out very bad from this story. What L as we talking like seven, eleven hot dogs, those? No, you cannot understand. So We're in the Philippines. Right. We're a Hindu family. My parents are Brahmans. I mean, I'm a Brahman, so we don't eat any meat notot allowed. We're now we're in a western environment Everyone's eating meat. My sister who's much older than me lies to my parents and eats meat at school and I know that. but I Partly because I'm like the annoying little sibling I decide I'm going to discuss it with my parents. So I come home and everyone's eating hot dogs. At that time in the Philippines, Marcos was president. There was the Philippines and then there was the American bubble. They had all their military bases there. So I was at the American school, so it was very American. You had roocky road ice cream and you know, this kind of thing I come home oneond day, probably five and say, I want to eat hot dogs. And my mother looks at me and says, shhut up, I'll slap you. That's that conversation. My father's at the dining table and he says now now, he was much more like calm. He was like, now now. and he said to me, why is it? And I said, all the kids eat it I had never seen a hard dog, but I'd heard about them Be we didn't get packed lunch, we got school lunch I don't remember what a hot dog is in my mind. I just say I wantna have a hot dog, hot dog, hot dog. And my father says, I'll make you a hot dog this weekend He then makes me what is essentially a club sandwich It's got lettuce, cheese, tomato. and my sister's like, u, and she leaves But she knows better than to contradict my father because he's obviously trying to get me to believe, I believe this is a hot dog Eat it, it's yummy, it has ketchup. Every day, my dad comes home from work, he makes me a hot dog I never bring it up again. I never talk about it at school in my head Now this may show you how dumb I am. I thought I'm eating hot dogs. One that's my mother went back to university. So Mrs Deshpande, my mother's friend, used to pick us up from school like on a one day a week. They ate meat. We got to their house one day and she said, oh, kids, would you like hot dogs? And we all went, Yay. She puts this thing in front of me and And I'm like, what's this? She wass like, it's a hot dog. I'm like, no, it's Mrs. Deshwande, is this is the eighties. She says to me, be quiet and eat your hot dog I eat this thing. It's kind of different So then I get home that evening And I tell them that Mrs. Desishpande' made a hot dog and it was very different. My father immediately looks concerned and my mother looks at me and says, didid you eat it? I say, yes. She then gets up and slaps me so hard across the face. and says, how dare you? I have no idea what's going on. My sister starts laughing because she knew this was going to happen eventually. My father tells my mother and he never used to raise his voice, that's enough And she says, this is all your fault. You're raising a meat eater, as it is, she's so ugly. She's gonna have a hard time getting married and now she eats meat. and she leaves the dining table. So particularly your sister is laughing really hard at this point because She couldn't have gotone better. I know. And I have no idea what's happened I did not ask for or think about a hot dog for the next twenty years of my life.. My children because my husband's Danish, they eat pulser. And every time those kids get a hot dog, I'm like, ' you know, she got up and she just macked at me, which she used to do But I literally spun and everyone had a different reaction. My sister was laughing, My dad got annoyed. She turned around and told my dad what she thought of him. and she left. I was like Yeah Yeah, yeah, just and and all you did was followed orders. Exactly. Because another adult who could have slapped you said, eat it. So you did. Exactly. And you know, many years later, in my early twenties, I was in therapy and we did anger work and the hot dog story came up. And my mother was a therapist and I called her in India, and I said, you know what? The hot dog story came up. She was like, what hot dog story? I'm like let me tell you. And then I told her and I said, and it was mrs. Dish Fande. And you know what my mother said Yeah, you know, she was always trouble her husband left her She was not trouble. This is not on Mrs. Desh Pande. She said, So what's the point of your story? I'm like that you slapped me. She said, I thought you ate a meat I'm gonna keep it fair, I kind of stumped I'm like,ah,a Okay She's like, I thought you ate meat And I'm like, well And literally I had nothing to say. Also, I don't think Mrs. Despande's character and her failed marriage needed to be brought in. Yeah.. But mommy, you know, But it's that amazing ability to traverse I I remember getting a getting a tap, let's say for mis, you know, for misbehaving. So it's sort of often have you ever spoken about being hit in stand upps Yeah, all the time. Yeah. But it wasn't everyone was. It was not traumatic to me at all. But it's very interesting to audiences who aren't familiar with it now. Oh ye they're like Yeah, there's a whole thing I do, which I think I did it live at the Apollo, the different kinds of different Mothers from different parts of India will threaten to injure you in different ways. Yeah. But I mean, for us, it's like You know, I always tell this story when people don't understand Also because when you're married to Scandinavians, for them, it's like beengal. It's abuse seventiesn't it? But it's not abuse. I mean, yeah, it's not great. But if everyone is doing it part of the cultural makeup. You can't do it here. It just feels abusive. But you know, I mean, I always knew why, except maybe on the hot dog thing I didn't really understand. but You know, and I remember there was a girl who came to the convent and She was she said her front tooth was broken and We were all talking about, I don't know why, I think as one of the other girls had got a proper pasting at home for getting bad marks and maths. and And she was crying and we were like, it' be fine, it'll be fine and all this. And this girl said that she'd never been spanked And we all were like, oh are you an orphan Like we didn't understand how this's possible. She said, No her mother didn't believe in it. And we were like, So I went home and told my mother and she said, yes, I know her. she is divorced. And I was like, what I didn't know what divversials. I'd never heard of it before. So it was like So, you know, but I don't I would never do it My mother smacked me after I had three kids in HSBC and the guy got so scared he jumped back behind the window Why whyy does she slap you in HSBC? But first all, didid you have the wrong saving account? No, she came, she came to London and now they' passed away. She came to London. in India at the time, you couldn't have foreign currency. It's not legal. R. And if you do get to asking me about my next thing, then you will know that this story all comes together. She came with a plastic bag of Cash dollar cash. Yeah I was like, what the hell is? It always brings something. Yeah, yeah. I said, What the hell is this? She said it's a US dollar. I'm like, whereere did you get it? She said, It doesn't matter. Can you put it in a bank account?? And I was like, canan I put in a bank? You a drug meal. And I was like, can I put it in a bank account? She said, Yeahah, because your father will find out. and then you know he screams and shouts, he has no patience I was like, okay, anywways, she was older. I was older. I had three kids. I was like, okay. I can't put in a dollar account, but I can like Okay Okay. So Part of that story was me having to open an HSBC account in for foreign currency and We were going and I had to take identification. I had my passport. And my mother said to me, You always forget things. donon't forget your passport. And I was like, I'll be fine. We did the thing. She was saying, Can we go to Starbuck? I want Starbuck, I want Starbuck. She used to call it Starbuck. And I said, Okaykay, we'll go. and I turned and I'd left my passport there. And she said I told you you'll forget it. guy behind The glass jumped back and she looked at him and she said, Are you going to call police now She's a very stupid girl.. She took the passport. The guy was like, Oh my go. Yeah. I said, Rama, Ykarnisaka, you can't be smacking me in public But what's I wonder about is that you're so calm You're like mother, you simply cannot do. Like But like it' it's like an insignificant thing, mother, slapping an adult. Yeah. said I said Karisak the policej, they'll call the police. let them call. When I tell police they will spit on you No good, so good. New summer arrivals are at Nordstrom Rack stores now.

Quaker, official sponsor of FIFA World Cup twenty six After that, we've been visited by one of the biggest comics in America, Aziz and Sari What is your next brilliant thing? My next brilliant thing is home cooked Indian food. Okay. whichich I was excited to'd even just read it just then. Yeah yeah, I agree. I agree. Now take you through. So who is cooking? the are you cooking? Is it your mum? Is it your dad U, well I I cook a lot. My my mom is a fantastic cook and you know, I have so many great cooks in my family, but when I'm here in London at home, it's me. And you know, my wife helps out and my wife's not bad, but she doesn't enjoy Uh She doesn't like if I'm gone, she'll just eat cottage cheese You know, she just doesn't really care. You know, when I'm home, it's like, Oh, let's make a biriani. let's go to the farmer's market. If I'm gone, I'm like, what did do you? And she's like I ateitaigs with cold milk. It was great. But Yeah, so In itd People, I think are very intimidated to cook it. Do you ever cook Indian food? Yes. ye I've said this before on the podcast, but apparently the trick because I think English Indian takeaway is one of our, if not our greatest cuine in country. Itsian fooder is a lot stronger than it is, a lot better than it is in America in general. It's really fascinating to me because because a lot of it's onion based. So if you kind of microwave the onion down It makes it more kind of smooushy at the beginning so it can become a paste apparently. And I've tried that a few times and it did work rather than having an onion stewing for kind of hours like they might have in a restaurant break it down so it just get Well, the more the onion the liquid from the onion is kind of, you know, yeah, that's what kind of melts and gets into the curry. but you know, I guess I just cook the onions until they get like a little brown and then they usually break down. But that's an interesting interesting. It worked actually. What would be your kind of Indian you know, curry of Joyice, like take me through. what would you have Hm. I mean, they're, you know, everyone's intimidated at the idea of cooking food, I think even even me like when I was younger, I would see my mom do stuff and I'it, wait, what was that? How much How much of that did you you know, and it's never that precise. They're all kind of doing everything by eye But the more you do it, you realize, oh yeah, it's not so precise. It's not like baking. As long as you're close, you're not gonna screw it up. But're all the recipes, you know, my family is from the southern part of India, this area called Tamamat, my mom's from Karala And u you know, it's a lot of uh coconut oil and coconut milk, it's more those kind of flavors that less than the North Indian stuff, which people are generally more familiar with, but U you know, every recipe for a curry kind of starts the same. You usually have some some aromatics you start with, you start with coconut oil You startve some aromatics cloves, cardamom, bay leaf And then and then you have the onions thinly sliced, those those cooked down. and then and then you add ginger garlic, equal parts ginger garlic and then you know, whatever the meat is and then and you know, it's tomato or cilantro, coconut milk and you know, whatever. and then yeah, you have that with rice or, you know don't stop It's it's yeah It's the greatest cuisine. I love it so much. Yeah, and I used to be pretty nervous to make it myself. and I used to make this one fish dish called fish Mle. And then over COVID, I started COVID the whole time during COVID, cooking is kind of what kept my sanity because I built my life around you know, cooking meals for me and my wife because was all we could do And And in London, we were here during COVID All the farmers markets were still open and it was pretty easy to kind of Um get food to cook and everything. So I just started spending a lot of time cooking new things and pushing myself to make stuff I'd never made before. and with Indian food, I think YouTube is a massive resource. you know, you can watch people doing it, so you visualize it and it makes it a little less scary. And it's also interesting because There's all these Indian aunties in making YouTube channels. And you know, if you watch one of those and they're not speaking English, then it's really cool. You're like, oh, well, this is really this is really legit. What is it like then being on the road if you're kind of a bit of a connoisseur Do you do you struggle kind of eating on the road? Do you try and find Did you go to each city and find like a flash placeace or Well, it's interesting you know I've been touring for a long time and nowadays when I tour Every city you go to Uh I mean, this is in America anyway. I u I feel like the When I used to tour, like there wouldn't really be a good coffee shop in every town or whatever. Now there's like a million coffee shops, there's a million cool restaurants and there's always like a couple of places that are worth going to. Usually one of them's open late and you can go have a fun meal after the show, but You know, I know I what I don't know what you're show thing is some people are like, Ohh, I finished the show and I go straight to my hotel and I go to bed. I'm wired and I'm so so awake from the show that, you know, I like to have a meal and hang out with, you know, the people I bring with on our the opening convenience, the tour manager are all very friendly. so we like to hang out and Beuse you get older, I don't know if you feel this, but the travel is what kills me. Yeah. I've I think I've done like three tours in America and I'm kind of, you know, the classic kind of one nighter Zigzag in Washington, Boston, New York. Yeah just the gigs are great, but it is an exhausting place. What about when you tour in the UK? I'm lucky that I can, you know, I can be somewhere for like a weekend Yeah Okay, you know, I kind of I was I was for years I did arenas and then I kind of started doing like a Thursday to a Sunday in That's way more Manchester in like a saw two thousand and it's just the best because the show evolves and you're less knackered and you're kind of I don't know I never got to that stage and you've done arenas as well. I never got I creatively stood still a bit when the show was finished. I find it very difficult to kind of tinker with the show when I was in a big room in front of fifteen thousand, I would go, this is the monologue. It goes like this. Whereas in a two thousand you still feel little bit know, you can add a bit, you can take a bit, you can move it around. I totally agree. I talk to a lot of people that have that same idea. mean It's crazy because I remember when I first started doing theaters, there was like a handful of people that did theaters. and now like everybody is's crazy isn't it? And there's like a bunch of people that do arenas. Yeah. But when I talk to those people when we have this conversation I think most people feel the same way. It's like, oh, it's it's actually more fun to do like a few theaters. Yeah than one arena. You aret in the UK, aren't you Yeah I'm doing I'm doing Roll Albert Hall in July, which I'm very excited about. Amazing. amazing. When is that? That's in July. Yeah, that's july eleventh, I believe. yeah. And I did it on the last tour and it was so fun and I don't know if you've ever done done that venue, but I thought it was like one of my favorite places I've ever performed. Yeah it's amazing. Yeah. I've been lucky enough to do it and it it creates its own atmosphere when you walk in. you know you can like as the performer, you're excited, but you can see, you know, people pull back the kind of red drapes and they walk into this room and it goes it just it creates a this is nice. Yeah It's that lovely halfway house between An arena and a big theater. It's has that big B. Yes, But it isn't like, o God we can't see him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's kind of in that sweet spot where it feels like a really special theater. But everybody loves it. so it's hard to get a date there and some date opened up in July that weekend and I was like, o Oh yeah, let's do it. Great. Yeah ex It's definitely the most beautiful thing named after Prince Albert. Yes. I agree. Yeah. deffinitely. It's the other thing is Yeah, not hideous No What's the other thing? The Prince Albert gone down, you take it. So Prince Albert, is if you have your penis pierced U What? It is. I'm not when that's way made the joke. I No one really knows war. the longer I'm here, the more I learn all these things. this is a big double bluff and you're sitting there with water right., no no. Well the thing I remember the first time I played the alcohol, the thing that was in my head was I don't know if you know the there's quite a famous World War two song that was sung in this country, which was Hitler has only got one ball, the other is in the alt hole All I could think about when I was backstage I was opening cupboards. Justly guys. Do you know what I mean? It's like this weird. It's like if you saw Richard Geere in a pet shop, he would be going, what's going on here? Is he going near the hamsters? Like it's just that thing. No, but you know what I mean? Like disgusting, right? But you can't as soon as something's in your head You're just, I was just searching for hitl the Grotem. It's obviously not going to be there But the show went up late. cheking Gary c. Yeah yeah. But o, that's so exciting, man. I'm looking I'm excited for you. How cool And the last guest in June is the interternet skketch comic and one of the core casts of SNL UK, Al Nash U of course what is your name? It's the cinema Lovely Okay, which is not having a moment. No, it's not at all. It's famously dying. It's really's it's the one thing the one thing, but definitely post COVID just feels like it hasn't recovered at all. Yeah. And it feels really like I'm not like I would say I'm on the edges of film expertise I'm not like a proper film guy, but you know, I really I just sound like an old man whenever I talk about it at the minute where thought it's just no good films. It just feels like just desperately trying to make money. So it's like Mario or Minecraft or some shit superhero film, but those kind of films they feel less and less. And yet that feeling when you go to the cinema and you watch a great film. Yeah Is there anything better? Yeah. Just that communal experence isn't it? It's like it's just like you can't beat this. It I went to see like a kind of kind of shitty horror fil of the day. and even that just like Here was someone go then everyone kind of laughing a bit. It was just so beautiful and like You so rarely get that, but you're right like so much of the films these days are like, stuff. I think that is just like they can't really takek they see it as not risk free, but being quite risk averse, like, you know Mario will make a billion dollars or whatever. like why not like a Michael Jackson film where which I saw Yeah, but you cut out all of the all all the allegations. But it's just like, you know, it's just like, you know, Hitler drawing. Yeah. Like it's so odd. But I guess if you're if you're trying to find money, which is kind of what they are But the sequel's gonna be mad. It is gonna be mad. There is a sequel, right? No. No There' a sequel. They're gonna do part two of the. There is a part two and I think that is when they address all the stuff. Genuinely. genuinely, yeah, yeah. yeah. D shift. Yeah, yeah. Yeahif it ends and it says his legacy continues I my Is that the end? Yeah, I turn And I was like fucking. I was like, yeah, obviously, like, know and it' like o, there's gonna be part too. I was like, that isn't. that must have been an extraordinary moment in a cinema when it flashes up says this legacy continues and you hear the whole room go That' kind. Wh was it? No, I think you're right. I think a lot of like the best new films are likeorror films. That's where it feels like people are really like taking risks or like The budgets don't have to be as big. Are you a horror guy? Not massively, but I'm trying to get more into it. Do you ever go to that? Is it called Fright Fest? Yes. My friend Sab goes to that religious Is that in Sussex? No, no, no, this I think it's in London Oh think. And he just I mean, he'll spend like eight hours. I'ing teeth I haven't seen teeth. What happens you'? Well do you want, do you want to? You see Ted in the corner. What what's teeth? A woman grows teeth in an unusual place. Wow Yeah, it's good. Okay. Yeah. Jeez Louise. Yeah That feels like that would be a fun presumably there's a lot of close ups of the male face. Yes. So more than you believe. Yeah That must be a fourcentad of the film I'd say. someomeone going Yeah ye. Eactly. So but presumably I would like to see the outtakes of the faces that didn't get there. what because you would feel consumed all of them look like that. Yeah yeah. But there must be one guy that Exactly. The smaller, the better will you look. I love that.. I think I used to work in a cinemar as well so I made you a real like. Oh, nice. Yeah. It was probably my best ever job. What were you doing? I was Jack of all trades. I worked behind the bar Wor behind the kiosk, seven in the popcorn, R, being an usher Where and when you hled U from the age of about twenty Three to twenty six. What a great job. It was a wch jobly you just watched everything Everything Yeah. and like Yeah, if you had a day off and it was like a shit day, like especially a rainy day, I just go in atleven and I wouldn't leave till n PM. You just watch four films, free popcorn, free Pepsi It was great There wass always something going on. there was always some kind of drama happening like Kick it offful. a good world for a sitcom there It just feels like it's because it's kind of one of those transitory jobs I would have thought. so everyone is kind of trying to go somewhere else Completely. You know, I don't know. the odd person who is like there was a guy called, I believe, Michael, who was in his forties who was an ussher. Yeah. Whate I was just obsessed with. I love Unironically there's a thing, like people who do kind of like small time jobs who just fucking love them. about the torch Yike You know, if you're on like bound there, like just it's everything. I just respect that so much. Yeah, it's that or cave guide. Yes. Those are your sort of two, you know, or paintball instructor. or paintball instructor. Yeah yeah. I remember meeting a paintball instructor and it was it was sexually sinister. Yeah because he was he was showing me was this this guy in Sheffield And it was like the I don't know there was some sort of mechanism he was going like that with the what's that they? Hey that and he was doing that with the trigger and he kind of goes, C you imagine what I'm liying with ladies? Well. Yeah, yeah. He was like, you know that kind of loud whisper? can you imagine what I'm liing with? Oh it was just. Yeah. Yeah, it was pretty weird. it was just me. and him and it was for like something we were filming and it was just a weird and the course was set out like Saraevo and he was like shooting up it. It was a really awful experience. And all you're thin about is por annt and deck. Yeah. Lovely. What what What is your perfect cinema experience? Like let's go through what Do you have a particular chain you like? Do you have a snack you like? Do you have company? So let's take us through what you like Interesting View is reliable in terms of I think all the seats are now massive, which I quite like. Although I will say about view and the cinema experience generally is they've like What kind of football, it's We have the technology and like we have VAR, and it's like we still haven't discussed like what a handball is. You know what I mean? It's like we have like the seats and we have the surround sound, but it's like, o, he's talking and fucking ruining the whole thing. Yeah. And like no one's doing anything So it's like it's no use having all this stuff if we're not like policing people I'd really need to give the usher a pain A gun, ye. Yes ye No a big seat, I'd probably go for like a medium sweet and salty mixed pop corn sixty forty sweet to salt. okay. with some crispy M andMs in there. or mixers, mayaybe revels sometimes, quite nice.. And then a big Tango ice blast So I think at the Cinner world they do an icy, not the same thing, not as nice. Right Tango ice Bast different thing. And then it would be a film that's probably like two hours, ten minutes You know what I mean? If it's two halfours you're like that's an afternoon. Yeah To hours. Tw hours Oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah. It's not funny thing though, isn't it? When when a film is too long but you're really enjoying it and that you have to You know, have a piss. Yeah. It's just that it's such a furious wee Yeah where you're just like running and you're just like, you know, when you're peeing like a race horse and you're like fucking hobby. Yeah. Once upon a time in onnce upon a time in Hollywood I did that for. I came back I was like what I mess you met Bruce Lee. I was like, Oh God. Bruce Lee. Yeah, sake. Yeah I really enjoyed that Yeah. that is It's it's it's a really nice hang. justust nice to hang in that. they' they're making u a story about Cliff with they are pit. Yeah, yeah, yeah very excited about V'm very excited about the Beatles film as well. You know the idea about that So it' it's I think it's from each different point of view and apparently there They're bringing it out week after each. So is it? Apparently it starts with then you have Paul Ringo and then George. Yeah, P pretty exciting. Amy Lewood was one of the hosts on SNL. she's playing Terrons? What a perfect cast. Yeah. of course. you're saying it's been really exciting. I think all those guys I think Maybe not all of them I think at least three of them have gone kind of full method on set 's always keep talking in that Souse accent and you know Talk in full method. I met Keith Lemmon for the first time. gig I did a festival gig in Chipping Sodbury. Yeah. And he was I said, Oh allright, mate. and he went, hello. I said All right? And he goes Yeah and he was doing that avid merian. Yeah But he was he go it goes I have to talk like this otherwise I cannot stay. Ready second All right yeah. But you know you backstage going It was It's just the gigmat But it was a it was a really it was I've never met anyone where they've been method and of all the places for it to happen at a festival in Chipping something. I wasn't imagining it? Yeah, it was pretty interesting. Would you ever do that? Would you ever go full method I don't think anything I do requires that. It's possible out its full method now. Yeah That is true. It has a broad West Indian accent in real life. Yeah. If they want to cast me in teeth two Th whatever I have to do to go. Whether I'm the guy going, o. You could play the vagina. Yes, ye yeah. Yeah. Oh geez, we need a new diet. an Um I u one thing on the cinema? Yes For people who like the cinema, you've gott to buy the popcorn Because that is how cinemas make their money. The studios charge so much for the films. ofen a cinema, a small one will pay to have the film loss Yeah And it's the concessions that makes all the money. So if you want to keep some wow, buy the popcorn and the tango' the I did not know that.'s the green tea has more caffeine than coffee fact of the cinema world. That is really interesting. So it's all about the snacks. Were interesting how certain people buy certain things based on the fact I still have like PTSD from certain film runs like Mum and me We'd show that five times a day every day and it would just be like We're doing like a pink GNT. I can still hear the squabbling, but I still I can still hear the clinking of glasses. It's like I was there, man. ye The irony that the tagline is here I go again. So it's perfectly set up for groundough, isn't it? Yeah, was It was intense. What would be your I mean impossible possible, but if you could, top three cinematic experiences film wise We still watched Lord of the Rings films as a family. becausecause they always come around Christmas time. It was amazing.,'s incredible. Similarly, I was at that age where Harry Potter One came out on I was eleven. it was just like pure magic. And then Al so I love I watched that again. Is it Freefall? that documentary about he's called Alex something he like he's like a free climber. Oh that Netflix thing recently like like this year actually we scale the thing. Is it free solo? Free solo? Yes. I saw that in the cinema. Wow. And it was I remember hold my govern's hand that we were both just like slipping over each other because it were just so H drop silence, just like, oh that was so so good. It's really interesting as well where watching that and you just go It's a real reminder of that sort of insanity gene. Yeah where you go he's not he's doing that to do it. Yeah. He isn't doing it for the adulation or the the fame you know, when he's in that little kind of Caravanette And his girlfriend's there and you can see she's there Yeah. And this is this it? is this my life and yet he's just Getting up really early, looking at a mountain and and just climbing it with no help. Yeah. but just so kind of in a way Russell, it's kind of similar to what we do. It really is like, you know The risk, the reward. And we don't do it for the adulation either. We do it for the thrill.
