I mean, there's different things. Some people say it was the set designer's kids. Some people say it's the director's Yeah But I think it's really when I' because a lot of people got in touch about that and it put my mind at ease you're worried,n't?, sort of terribly so.

Well, I just think you know I' had a TV series of it? Yeah, but's I will say actually since she's watched that, she's become a lot more casual with her violence That' well, that's exactly the end I was going kicking when I fell down the stairs she found it hilarious Well didn't she like swing a bowling ball into your face from the top of the stairs? L' only micromachines on the stairs Yeah But she found it, it took a while for her doctor. I mean, a lot of it's very cartic you know, because you know Tom and Jerry,ough always used to ever ag about Tom and Jerry. That's what itch and scratchy at the piss out. Yeah because like It's like violent. H happens to it you' S scratch it at all What do you mean? They it all,n't they? What are you talking about? In The Simps's itchy and scratchy. What do you mean the had at all When I smashed it? they was smashing it. They could have had a spino off I'm so close to him. You're gonna tasteed it At one point Itchy S scratch scratchy, I'd say almost sur passed the Simpsons. I'm pretty sure they did episodes of Itch and scratch' spin offs. Really? Almost certain they are. I don know. But you don't want to just watch Itchy and scratchy the whole time, do? You think they were genius? They were so surreal and just, yeah. wasasn't that I mean it It was just Tom and Jerry turned up to There was Yeahah, there was an element to it that had a little bit of laughing sort of breaking the forth or go no, you're a part of this too, friend Wh Tommy Tom and Jerry felt very about them in their relationship. Itich and scratches about them as well. Yeah, but it felt like there was more of a door open to saying, come in We're friends. We're Tom and Jerry F. Why?y no, no, I'm not going to let you get away with this. How did they do that? Just because there were was when Scratchy stuck a missile up itchy's ass? No, but was it was a bit more sort tiny when he staplegunned his tongue too. It was a bit tongue in cheek. I'd have to sit watch an episode together And then I I'd say there and youd go, Oh ye, that's good. Itch and scratchy is just Tom and Jerry. It's not's so much there's so much more going on. No, but it's the whole It should' scratchy was a statement about Tom and Jerry. it was, but then it surp passed even Tom and Jerry In what way? it became bigger and better and more itchy and scratch. Listen, you by the way this itchy scatchpp scratchy world now. At the Simpsonss World. Yeah I know that. Yeah. It's within the Simpsonson World I know, yeah, but they've got Tom and Jerry have got nothing now It's sad, but' it's probably an age thing, isn't it, T thing?

You know, he's been awarded seventeen Michelin stars in his time and currently holds eight o down That's actually insaning. Yeah. That was really good. That yeah, you literally conveyed exactly. Yeah. Anyway The actually me to be quite a threatening email by the way. Yeah I mean the truth is, you went in two fit on Gordon Ramsey. Yeah I would I would go as far as to say if you were that way inclined three foot. I mean you You called him the Jake Paul Yeah cooking. Yeah You said that you could go toe to toe with him in a cookoff implied it, certainly You said that the only reason he's got anywhere is because of his personality. That is basically the gist of what you said. R can I just say I want to clear up a few things. Look the Jake Paul thing Uh, What I meant by that is there's he's got an attitude about him. Don't start repeating't I will also say But when Katherine listen to this bat Yeah He said you're basically the Jake Paul in the situation, T And he's like Tpe of Fury or the A anony Josh sure. Yeah, that I' get that analysy. Yeah. Yeahah. and you're you're bad mouththing someone who's actually really, really good. I will say Cffingwise and K. I don't like obviously he's one of the best ever, right? I will say You't said any of this by the way previous time. Now he' obdenly he's the best ever. He's a very good because your ar has gone a little bit because you because he public you on a public forum You've gone in on them Yeah, but I will say this, I would stand I would go to to ste with him and see what happens. I want to talk to you a little bit about the psychology of this Yeah because I want you to imagine. Yeah. You listen to a podcast. Yeah and they start ripping into your acting or your stand. Wh has happened on a podcast I don't know about podcast, but I'm aware of conversation. Obviously that happ obvious obviously you don't need to stipulate that it happ it happens in public in chats. Can I just say, by the way, this is more about me than Gord Ramsy. I think Gord Rams really good at what he does. This is such a fucking one hundred eighty.. You said ' he shouts a bit and swears a lot that's where he's got to hiss. No, no, no, no, no personersality are you telling me when if you' like if you're a channel a broadcaster, A streamer looking for someone to host a TV show as a chef that when you see Gordon Ramsy, you go, this is gold because of that was not going to be like a disparaging not horrible remark My thing was he's got you've gone right aroundound the house. No, no, no No no, but when you watch was the shouting. No, the shouting, the attitude, the swearing All of those things, right? Don't get me wrong. I stand by what I said, but a lot of that added to the illusion that the whole sort of brand that became Gordon Ramsey. Illusion What' do you think? I think he's quite a nice chap in real life, by the way If you meet him, he's one of the most gentle. Not only can he not curt personality is fake as well. No, no, he's a love. He's more authentic. No, I think he's real when he's in the k when he's outside the kitchen, he's like a fighter inside inside the kch, he's a killer outside it. He's a lovely gentleman I think he's a beautiful human being But warm saage Wow You have fucking folded on this So pathetically No, I'm just saying to you, but I'd still go toe and I still think toe with what in what? I don't know a omelet wasn'? An omelet. You think Tom. That're not an omin. I'm not very at. Okay fine. nameame something. Okay, I could go co You're really good at making Scramble eick Fuck off, Tom Sufi You think you can do a better soufer than Gordon Ramseay. Give it a little bit of practice cururrently holds eight Michelin stars given it quote from ten seconds ago, given a bit of practice. I think he's probably quite rusty as well He's an old champion.'s got come outs hockey field. Fordon Ramseay could be in a car accident He's in a coma for nine years Bring him around with some smell insults and you have spent the interim Exclusively making soufflets. ye yeah. They wheel him out the hospital or they go straight into the kitchen. his soule will still be better than yours.ait, I'm just telling, well, you know, have you ever had one of my soulets? You wouldn't even eat them anyway? No, you've got eggs and stuff. Correct. I think. Have you a sou I think Have you made a souflet? I've made a soufle. Which souffle did you make? I've made a cheese that Th three cheese souffle. Well I've just sed to you now My thing is a lot of it is about the branding. It's all of the stuff around it. That's what made him This absolute legend that we all adore right I don't know what I'm more appalled by, your initial comments or this absolute Ring licking. Do you know what I'll tell you what you couldick cick with. Right now is our sult As squeaky clean as it is. I'm just saying that that but also you think you can cook though? Yeah to what level? He's of he's a very good cook. He's a very good chef.s Like a decent chef Very good decent. I will say it's not aly'ent an insult comparing him to Jamie Oliver Well, I mean that did cause some Yeah C I just what? Yeah, but I think Jon I Joe Oonli ofver, by the way, young upstart. It's a bit like the kid out of a ratoo. J maybe do the fifteen, now?. . No I send me liver. No, I'm just saying to you. Hiss Jamie Oliver's rise to fame is a bit like the kid from R. He fifty years old. Yeah. but when he was a youngster, right, He was like a pop cleaner and all that and he learned how to use leather ropes. Yeah. He's basically by the way, I think he inspired the story of R, I don't know for definitely not because of the raat bit, but anyone could cook. Jamie Oliver inspired Ratat too Maybe Google that because I actually think there's an element of. What's happened here is you can't stomach it with Gordon Ramseay I love J Jver Jam Olivever' is great. Yeah. he's a sweetart. Gordon Ramseay. They're both excellent chef. They' Ecredible chef. Exactly. But so why is the insult me saying that Jam M Oilliivvers is good Gordon Ramseay Now I don't understand. but I think J Gorden Rams' has achieved more. Yeah, but Jam M Ooiver' such a sweet, sweet guy. Yeah. And they both are. Yeah. So what I'm saying is it's like, I don't know You turn around like an insult being thrown at me about o you you know This comedian, you're Anyone who It's doing professional comedy is good at what they do, right Oh no I don't stand by that.. Anyway, thank you so much for your email I will remain anonymous if that's okay I turned forty last year and my amazing wife wanted to throw me a birthday party to celebrate The idea of this kept me at awake at night for a while Not the same not the social anxiety of the party itself but the realization that I don't have any friends to invite to it I've a lot of family that would come and see me and we have a couple of friends all from her side of the fence, but no one that would just be my friend No one I keep in contact with. Wh I'm happy with my life occasionally, I think it would be nice to be able to message a mate and go for a pint and a chat and chat shit for a few hours I'm not sure you can make new friends at Postfi Should I be embarrassed to have those friends And and how do you change it I'm not a weird or anything. Pe tend to like me, just apparently not enough to sustain ongoing contact Any help much appreciated, loveove the pod and the manand your electrolytes, keep up good wor B the way Yeah emails been included. I'm glad that was in there because Mangel really needs to shot any arm. Do it real? What's going on? It's really suffering at the moment Wh what's going on? Well we don't know what to do how to push it more. I mean this guy' actually I mean, I feel like we should deal with a pressing. You're not wearing any manantl m much now, which seem shouldnt he miss. Yeah ye, no I should yeah, we should actually probably start we more and like having a manal bottle here really upping the overlaps or of like they do huel But yeah, anyway, let'. By the way, you should start this. because I usually start when I read them, so. Oh yeah, o. Thank you so much for your message I it feels like you're beating yourself up about not having anybody that you're like friends with or go for a partartment with, I think that's a pretty common thing. It's Yeah. I think that you know, a lot of the time I think about the number of people you talk to on a day to day basis.. But then when actually when you drill that down to who could you actually phone right now to go for a partintment with? And you know, those type of people are hard to come by. And particularly when you get older Everyone gets busy. Tom and I are like B mes. It's quite difficult for. I as a press and dictate. I looked at the amount of people that I don't talk to anymore as friends like and not that I' fallen out with these people or I just, you know, you felt like I' drifted away I felt like that on my fortieth, I would say. Yeah. I would say in my opinion, I think when you're in your twenties and probably in your thirties, I think you act you sort of make you can't move for making friends because you're in these social situations and then all of, you know, you exchange a number and all that. As you get older, I actually You can make friends pace fory. I do think the difference is is that you have to actively do that. So in the past Everyone's looking for friends, right? Yeah Be because your evenings are made up of make up with dail What's up man Wh everyone's there. we all know why we're there. Right. Yeah know, friendship's quite cheap. It's second hand sometimes. you meet a friend for a friend. No no, not that. It started to work as an attitor then you started to become yourself But I think that you know you're constantly looking to go out. Whereas when people get older, actually going out is something you fit in alongside family or whatever else you've got going on And so what that means is is you're not putting it out there to try and make friends, right? Yeah. And so Actually, you can make friends, but you have to make it, in my opinion somethingomet that you're trying today the first thing I'll say is there's nothing to ashamed about about your situation Lots of people. have that situation. I have that. Sometimes I'll get E la I've got a free night or whatever. She's out and I think I might pop out and I think the fuck I gonna go if look me G me a shout out pretty., but you' so far away. Yeah. But So that is a distance by the way, not in light. Yeah, and sort of emotionally and intellectually and spiritually. But I don't think that's the thing to be ashamed of. I don't think you start getting down about it. But if you want to be in a situation where you've got friends, I think the difference when you're post forty to sort of reiterate the point to make it is you' just got to be a bit more proactive about it and look to ofen you'll find people that you didn't think were up for g for a drink want to. you know what I mean peopleople do want to get, you know and what I would say is going out for like when you get above forty, going out on a big one is not as common a thing, but just literally Pin out nice curry a drink. Yeah, nice curry, whatever, all of that I always think it's a little bit like a film in some ways.. Is it a film about a carboat itself? No No it's like early early years like like it's like when you switch on ITV too, right? And if a movie's like, you know fifteen minutes in your gar which restress this at home is fifteen minutes even if it's halfway through you might watch it. But once it gets the sort of dying end of the movie you're going to watch like the last fifteen minutes of okay. I'm not sure what this analogy is. It's like you won' make friends on after it because they're going to die so No. just like have you seen the best bits? Have you seen the best bits of a movie al re it? What are the highlights? This does not hold up at all People are not you're not going, I don't think I'll go to drick review. I think you've had all your highlights I think all the action sequences in your life are done Well, I think most of mine are I had some action sequence. let me tell you my twenties, but I look at it now and think yeah, I'm like B actually she says's one of the best the best people I've met have been in the last six years, seven years. I've met some great people after Fortay that I look at and go I don't think you should be embarrassed. No friend. Don't be embarrassed. I don't think you should be embarrassed about anything. is the truth But u what in life? generenally no. Yeah Good luck to you. Thank you so much. Cheers. Thank you for writing in.
