Star Wars a kids film M, you great I do you know what. And then people go, It it's not a kids film. We go No, you were a kid when you watch it you've grown up, silly old b. Right the way, can I say a kids fm isn't really kids film? was it lot seier than I remember as I watched big the other week What's sexy about that? There's loads of sexy stuff in B big. There's a lot sex more sexualised around Iember. Here's a question for you, is the woman he gets with a nce or not? Well know, she's got pedifile tenentence. Yeahet. More than tenentetays. Yeah. Well no, she doesn't know he's a kid, but she's attracted to children. Yeah She's weird. It's a horrible thing to find out about herself, isn't it? What I' love is a sequel to big is just her what happens to She by the way. At the end of that movie when she's watching him and he's a kid, I actually had a lump in my f. I found that very quite sad like it's quite sad and she' sort of like, you know, He runs off down the street And then she just watched him go in's a little boy again. Doid they say something like look me up in twenty years or something? Yeah, yeah, Yeah. I mean I don't think they're a dusty old bitch I mean, can you imagine can you imagine? Can you imagine that Jo The kid from Big but when he goes back to school and tells everyone What he's been up to. Yeah. Everyone's like, what the f?ike they smell incredible. and then she got naked. Yeah boobies What Wow, terrible stuff this Yeah. Oh my God. what did you do on summer break Did you learn that thing now day Thats, you know, what can I say by the way, that's the sort of thing that P peopleople do his party trick. You know Pe peopleople have a party during I remember the thing from big and they do the hands shaake or something. All as well and they both j I'm never any good at that kind of thing. I haven't got that. Okay, well there we've uncovered the reality of it. It initially you sort of pitched it like you thought those people were bricks and it ts that you can't do not jealous. If you could do Yeah, you' jealous. Yeah. I'd love do it. You'd love to do it Do you ever think about films like that where like what happened after the film Yeah, sometometimes they tackle that don't they I love those my fav ahead of the curve. sequels. No, no, no, but even when they go like, you know, you watch a film and at the end they'll just show like a picture of the character and they go like, you know Merv Tomlinson ended up buying a shop in downtown Louisiana or whatever. I've never really understood that for fictional movies. No but I Be you sort of think like What you're doing is you're telling the story. but the film is the opportunity to be a story, isn't there? Yeah, the storytelling medum you've chosen Why don't you just do the whole thing in a scroll If you're going to do that better. Yeah, but then whatver happened after the Gonies and you know, Sloth moves in with Chunk and his family How did that work out Yeah,'s bad. I would have been you know, that would have been good. sitcom. Yeah That would have been a great ye, but also un Sloth and chunk. sloth and chunk. It was a dark clustter themselves. should have been in their house. I think he should have Yeah. You don't want that when it discovers sort of sexual desire in your house day. I think they'll be fine sharing a room together here. Justs giving him this crash test dummy go someone who' such a short temper of sloth and someone who' annoying as chunk sharing a bedroom. It's like literally It' got like a netflix spin off done that. It's got so dark. Yeah, how are you? Oh'm very well, good. goodood. G Great to be back here. Back back in that yeah, back in the studio. very excited about that. There is an issue N weare of this shit. Have I b get my nose? Night. Okay. Io told you before now. Okay okay U It's the Wolfen our podcast. Yep Ow. yes Wolf Oh wow And if you look at it, if you look at us now It's Alen Wolf. It's Alen Wolf podcast. Yeah. Yeahah, and that doesn't work at all. No what I'm suesting is we swap I com s over there No The other way of swapping No I'm happy to yeah. I mean, ye. I've I've sort of equipped myself on this seat a little bit. What does that mean? Well, my buttocks have been engaged with the the sate and the lineage of the seate So I just sort of like I feel at home here. Well you can bring the chair around here. it's a to bring the chair. I'll just jump into your chair. See how you get on it. It' quitem That's what I'm saying Have you been burying f in this cushion?

Good We're all sorted now we're in the right place. Wolf and out Everyone can be. I think there'll be some people that have found this unwatchable. Yeah until this point. Yeah. and now And there are some people, as we know, find it unwatchable Yeah, and that's the end of. I mean, I think it's incredible people are watching this. Yeah Well, we'ter that. Yeah ' not st ten.. So how are you? I'm good I'm good.'ve I realizeed some overeed friend my friendship with Timothy Shallamo. would be my guess. Yeah. So what happened Well So you when you so you did bonker with us? Yeah What was the state of play with you and Timothy Sallam? Because obviously we all know everybody's watched Yeah dog I so we know Yeah, look, it's a big fareless trailer. Yeah, but there was how was it left at the end? There was a nice friendship. We hung out at the preremiere Yeah, we've been in contact. Who's instigating contact mostly? I'd say ninety nine point five percent of me have one hundred percent I've instigated a lot mucher. But what sort of things will you say to him Just give me an example of the sort of thing you might say I mean, find it I find it incredible that you've got Timothy Chalay's phone number. orr is it one he's giving you the email? it's just on I my message? No, no, it's his number Do you ever send a voice night No Although he did take this picture of me when we were filming wonka It's such a depressing picture of you So he said, Great hanging, bro. Can't wait to hang on normal hours. Stay safe, stay bold, great working together nice Yeah What did you say? U I don't I wasn't really after what he sent you What sort of stuff have you say? This looks going straight on the ground, my Iing to be fair actually that My J, big put Tom day here, checking in L is treating you well My man good here, can't wait for Wonka. seen some stuff that looks awesome. Hope you're good, brother. So this is all before the film' comeing. Yeah ye then a couple of Merry Christmases. What's a Merry Christmas text? I said, veryer Merry Christmas to you and yours, Bay. And he said same to you toom sameame to Tom. Did you say same to Tom in the response to that? Yeah there That's a message. That is him training you to be appropriate. Yeah. And here I go Th I for some reason sent yeah, some pictures some MMA fighters. What? Why? That is it Why did he say that? Beause we used to watch MMA together. What did you send with? Nothing just fly safe for me gu. Th we've got u Quite a lot of this that the new trailer looks amazing Hope you well Are there any conversations he's instigated? No thenen I've said June two looks banging, bro Oh my Godd, please tell me you didn't say that. Yeah. N it' that look Okay Ohw And I got nothing back from that. No. So then I say, whyy would you? Yo bro, just worked a complete unknown trailer. blowned my mind I hope life is good. What was the response to that? Nothing That was in November, twentieth of November. I' sat on it now and then I've gone. Very Merry Christmas. too you and your family. Have a blinder Nothing But then I said, Do you think the June two text was a mistake Beause it sounds like you had you're having interaction before. Yeah. No, no, no, then I've got my workd Marty Supreme is a work of genius. Okay, good. You fucking smashed it. Crats on. Very much in keeping with the Anus cleaning ser. No, I've gone. And then he's gotone in capital letters. Thank you, Tom Okay, that's nice back to go You're back in home And then I should I said I should say that your searching for greatreatness beat struck a chord with me, I was very inspired And that's the b conversation we had. You know what you like? Can I make a suggestion as a mate? Yeah. I don't think you should text him again. No no I don't think yeah. The trouble is, you know what? we had this really lovely Yeah time but I'm doing all the instac in. It's like It's like you know, when you go on hiday with people And you hang out and you go, fuckking know this is great. And you don't need to see those people you'll just go, oh we had forin. That's the this ninet ninety eight. You had a nice experience with Timeth Challo. Yeah. He seems like a nice guy. Great guy You've hung with him. Yeah enjoyed each other's company Yeah There is nothing wrong with that being temporary. Yeah. And you've got each other's numbers. And should you ever need each other can get in touch? Yeah. And you know, he might be on a film where they go, we need a big yeah. you know, big super generational talent character act or just a big doo for Yeah. And then he's got a direct line to you. Yeah. But you don't have to be mates. I mean, he's not going to meet up with you, is he? we might do. if he was like if I was if he came to London Maybe Yeah, or if yeah or if if you was for the city fair, he made M in London for the whole of the promotion for M super But But but in fairness you know ye, I know how busy. It's very hey. Yeah. But then I look at it and think maybe if we're like both in like If he was filming in Prague and I was in Prague as well. Yeah, what happens is you both have to be away from home don't you? You able to meet up That's that's that seems to be so you you'll be quite close to people and you go, we should meet up, you never do it. and then you happen to both be in Barcelona and we should definitely meet up and you do meet up. So if he's in Barcelona, I just happen to be there as well of I think I just think it's better for you to not instigate any more text conversations. I think Let it come from him. Do you think if I was yeah, but if I was working in Barcelona, I texted him and said or I. Hy you just seen you in film in Barcelona? No Hey man, No. Okay. I don't think you should text them again What if I a series of scenarios, I take o tryry to design a scenario which I think is acceptable for you toxt Okay. S. He's filming based on what we're going use Barcela because it's a city, right. He' fming Barcelona. not U use Barcelona because it's a city good Yeah, if it's a city might film in, it's a great. you can see. He's filming in Barcelona,y Helsinko? I was thinking's a beautiful say, but for film it's going to be Barcela Columb Please Yes, it's the capital of Sri Lanka. Okay Oh Just, you know, like Your mate's family origins are from there. I don't know the capital city. I can do a Google Yeah. I know long I was about to say Yeah, no, but would you know the capital city of Ireland I was going to say Anyway, God. So right, we're Barceona, Yeah I'm out there to watch go to the camp N to watch a football game and I a scenario. Yeah. yeah. as I'm walking along I'm chatting and someone I hear someone go, Oh You know, the new crazy movies is beingilmed and Timothy Shallamay iss filming out here And then so then I was like, o fuck, Tims out here as well. If I was into text and go Heyman just heard you're in Barcelona say it ain't so low. I'm here watching Barcelona No I wouldn't say really? Yeah. What would you send notothing. Iure. Um I'm in LA. or New York. I' say New York.. But He lives in New York.. I'm out in New York, right out I'm doing a couple of gigs. Yo, Tim just landed in NYC, my friend. Fancy coming down watching the Big manan in action, Lell Why did you adding lolt to everything? J because then it makes it less aggressive L like it makes him yeah, it feels like were just checking in watch to see if you got a texting him there. No, it's. texting while we've been doing this I've got to text in this, send me. o, hey man I hope you don't mind me chatting you a little bit on there Oh. No, so that's not because because what if then he does text me and go, Hey, hey buddy, u Heard you were in New York. man my hometown. and you didn't even say you were here? then and then this when you have an amazing opportunity to go Yeah, it would have been cool to see, but I figured, you know, you'd be super busy and I didn't want to intrude And then he goes Oh my god, No, next time definitely hook me lookook me up and then in this sort of situation. It's not cool, but it's just like you've sent without response You'veed his ring. Yeah successively with those texts Your speech was inspiring, bro What the fuck are you doing? No, I I put it the way I put it. I think I read it to me again. Can I just say that you've actually been very complimentary and made it sound a lot cooler than I actually talins I said should say that searching for greatness speech struck a chord with me Bh And then I just realized I did the that a motoron You didn't really? G you isn't lying I'll say you're doing it for comeding ry So right now what do you think that tech says First of all, I genuly didnt think I just say I did think it was a kind of cool speech. Fine, so say that Why do you whyy do you have to Aplifyer Also, the other thing is Right Number one is fucking hell man. do you know, but can I say but I hope he found he thought that was me being silly as well Definitely. Yeah. yeah, D deffinitely It was laced with irony or text. It's so fucking. You're The worst thing I could think of right is because we had quite a laugh and we quite enjoyed it. He's a lovely guy, but I just keep thinking and this is I do this in a lot of situations in my life But I do think they He's there with his misses And I walk into a bar somewhere like Barcelona and she goes, Oh my God You know that guy who was texting you all the time for Wer He's just walked in she looking over I don't think he's seen us yet I don't think it'd be like that. But it will be if you keep sending those texts. Yeah, okay I' going I think this is a I just have a like if if I'm impressed by something, I can't help but tell people. No that is true. you're very fulsome with your praise. But thing about Tom Davis is if he thinks If If he thinks something you've done is really good and you're famous, he will text you. No, that's not true. There's a waiter just now. He was so charming to everyone who walked in. It was beautiful to see Yeah. And when I was paying my bill, I said, by the way Can I just say I thought you were absolutely amazing to watch how you interact with people It was a real beautiful thing to watch. It's funny, isn't it? Be it's weird how all these stories are kind of reported because I just had lunch with you And the waitress was wonderful. She barely fucking made eye contact with her. Yeah, number one it would been rude because we were chatting and she did actually button into the conversation a couple to ask what we wanted to eat. No but she wasn't but lookook, this guy was absolutely beautiful in his way. I' this is what I'm not hanging it out. She was a good waitress. She was very efficient. She att no point did she sort of turn around and sort of go Wow, this is delicious. Oh what a nice jacket Or like this guy right? this woman came in and she went I wouldn't like that. Well, this woman came in She went, I'm meeting my parents here that were gonna to be half here half an hour ago I can't get hold of them. like I'm a bit worried He said, Hey, you have a rest, you ever sit down? I'm going to get you a coffee and they'll be here soon nice There's a really nice. He put a mind at rest. He said London transport's awful. They could be stuck underground. Yeah. the slowest city in the world, apparently. Really traffic I find it hard to believe that they've just been awarded that, Cabby told me Just after he finished talking about immigrants Now I want to apologise here. Yeah, because I was giving you shit about Timothy Shllaman. and I was doing for the love of hip pop. Yeah. And we interviewed Jill Scott The singer. Okay By the way, I didn't really like that face if it was a footballer. No, no, no I was just thinking, Do you went like this? No no, I didn't know she like hop, Jill Scott. I don' think does.

Yeah. I'm a big fan. I'm assuming that's I'm sort of guessing that's the first time you were aw there was a Jill Scotland. Yeah I was find it strange when there used to be a time, didn't there with celebrities that you could only have one person by that name. What's you Like you had to sign up and then you had to change your name if someone else had the same name Are you doing a character? What are you doing now? I used to be a Tue. Mate for actors and actresses. That's why loads of people select like famous actors change their names becausecause they weren't in Is' that just avoid conf's not a law Mate, it's as good as Lw. Why? Becauseuse people were like, Ohh well we kind have two Jennifer Lawrences, it would just be confusing If you went along to watch a film where Jennifer Lawrence is in this G good, Hey old up, this isn't the Jennifer Lawrence I was expecting No, I actually make a point. You make a good point Yeah Yeah, o What So Jillel Scott just to yourself? Because I'm just thinking no, because I like it when I get shit right. Yeah. So when you say about Jill Scott I am not as er on aulse with R and B as you are, by any means. So you say I would spoke to Jel Scott. I'm like, okay, the footbler. Yeah, but I hardly think Sombody tuning into the overlap I'm going fucking out. when's she going to sing golden? Do you know how many times I get comments and messages about Tom Davies the footballer What kind of comments? For example, tickets for my Brighton show went up and there was one of these things that they put up on Facebook for trying to sell tickets for my Bright and show. Um, adver Yeah Don't skir around it An advert Yeah. And in one of one of the comments on it meant u like it's a fucking news story right? One of the comments on it read Uhh Glady fucked off to Shefford United or something like that he couldn't even learn from some and some Everton footbler It was quite a harsh thing about. and I've been trolled as being Tom Davis a couple of times. Do you think is that possible that's a bot or something Maybe it my point is me and Tom Davies are very disliike. We're in very different trades. still of confusion Yeah. I'm just saying that when you were saying o yeah Yeah, at J Sottland. I'm like If I was to listen to that And you were like showown off and you' just had Jill Scoff Scott Sff Jel Scott on the hip hop podcasts I I'll never listen to that. throat completely thr me if I listen to it and I was like oh shit this is Entertertaining brilliant Actually really a fan now, but I was going there different. How long into it do you think you' have discovered that wasn't Jill Scott football I hope I'd know quite quite I think you know from the intro Yeah. I don't you be disorientated? S at how she sounds different. G back to our conversation. I to talk about the I time working with the roots If I fast forward through a little bit of that. Get in touch J't know you knew Kendrick Lamar So hold up, You got firsty around. I mean you get a little bit firsty around, Jill Scott footbler at times. Don't start this. You too. W You're very sweet with her, but there's a thirsty I'm I'm being nice. You are, but there's also I like her. Shes love. She's a mate. She's a diamond. Yeah, but there's a thirstyness day What likeike what? You' I'd say have all the people your firstirsty around. when we do le on our own That's where I goone someone's dying for a drink. Oh that's coming from the most That's coming from fucking Gandy's flip flop himself B the. I'm firsty around everyone. This is my fucking being. Anyway, I'm not firsty around you I mean you are you are listen Anybody has met Tob and he's not thirsty around you.. You are scum. Yeah, yeah, you're al. That that only really sort of happens on the nonces wh And even then, and even at ocasad, someone's got a bit of charisma Anyway So before I did the interview, it was a bit like rushed because I was It was in the midd of like they' try to pack this pre recording around a load of other stuff I. So the production team was sort of panicking. undernder stressed. You know when you turn up and everyone's quite stressed and that it sort of transfers to you. I was sort of feeling a bit flustered. Yeah yeah. And I'd had a message beforehand saying Jill will only I mean and by the way, this is reasonable, but the way it comes from the PR is it sounds pretty stern, but she might. It says like Jill's only doing interviews with people that have listened to the album Sogh Mry here Hello Hello mate. It's Rom here. I just started to just seen the thing about the album loved it. listened to it all You didn't do that, did you? No, good.'m not I need some direct contact with them So anyway, she comes in, but then as soon as somebody says you have to listen to the album, then I'm nervous that she's going to like Say a lyric or go or she might my paranoia makes me think she's going to go and what did you think of Foodle Fump What Is that your favorite s? No, that's what I'm say. What do you think of Flu? That's quite cool name for s. Yeah, I do. What do you think of Floodal flump? And I' go Oh, yeah iss I really going to go, What might Is she American. Yeah. That's not a cheack on it. There's not a shank. The first thing she said to me was nice porn st. What Nice porn stuff. Oh, o porn stats as in your mustouache. Yeah I thought like maybe just s lent on a couple of old rzzlebags. I knocked over some Asian babes I've got read this wires there if you want to have a little leaf through that any rumble mgs. Ill say long story short, that ship for sail, but I u I just is like I was just being like I just kept talking I basically kept going first of all, it's like such like we've got a legend in the building and it's such an honor to be talking to you. But that's also't stop. It didn't stop. Yeah but like, can I just say there's a very different guide on there. Like you are interviewing someone you're a big, big fan of. This is me saying, don't give yourself a hard time. That's someone you're a fan of. She's on there. She's promoting something, you're bigging it up That's your job within it, right So that is what you're there to do. You're there to make her feel really, really good about herself you know, boost sales. And you're a fan and you've listened to it I'm sure youked it. I know what you're doing, Tom No peopleople don't realize how you operate. No is what this is what's happened, okay I've been a pricker about Salamot. Yeah. You'veone people are going to think it's been a bit harsh to me th And then I've I've offered you the opportunity to go back in a meute and you' thought, you know what? If I take if I take the high road here This makes me this solidifies me as a nice govern. No, no, no, no, no. let me tell you and I will tell you quite clearly, my friend. If I'm going to die on the hill It will not Be the Joill Scott one You haven't been muggy enough Like when you're a mug I'll be the first one to dive in two footed. I'vein in Jones you straight away But for me, I think you're giving yourself a bit of a hard time Thank you. I do think like she I think that is what you're doing. That you're a polisher by nature there. what You're polishing people's ego You're there That's what show is. Do you think you clock when you're being polished? Yeah. I find it awful when someone gives you loads and I'd actually much rather you rinse me like you just did rather than someone gives you loads and loads of compliments. likeike you just did But you like a compromise. What do you mean? You're like you're like, you know, you know a dog gets stroked. too much and then it' sort of wheeze on the floor That's what you'll know like when you get a compliment. I see you your tummy comes up. I feel good about myself now It' Yeah, It's not just cute. Anyway,'s a it's a habit I've got a bad habit I've got that I'm a bit of s of fan in interview I'd like to get better at it. Well, in what sense be more like Coolan I don't like Rick Edwards This Rick Eward was particularly cool about? was fucking cool then was it Yeah Rick Eward was c gu.

I'm a character actor.s what I do I've in completely immersed. All right, all right. It's like once I'm in, I'm in. Yeah. byy the way, It felt like justustin inside of me. What did you think of how I dealt with that? I actually think you were quite good. but the trouble with you, you need to upcall it What does do you want me to show you how I think you should do it? Okay ye. Who are you going to be Who joins me Uh, Rick you Mountin Okay. Okay, I'm here Hello, welcome to hip hop Save Your not what. You two things. First of all, I don't know why you're doing that voice. Secondly, I don't know why you're calling it a podcast that I stopped doing six years ago. Okay. What's your new show? For the love of Fit pop. For love of Fit pop Do me I'll it in a voice as called This is me when I shp Oh my go Let begin to That's why it's hard to the character that voice. H This is me, Romas Ranggan Nathan, and this is for the love of hip hop Today, I'm joined by an actor a singer and I guess an answer Mr Riine. Hey man, how you doing Good, Ricky. How are you Really good, thank you How are you I love being in London. It's great. We're not here to talk about London, Iicky. We're here to talk about your new album Hot sexy dancer. Yeah. Now that is ahead of a title. Thank you so much. It came from Will you being a hot, sexy dancer, I'd imagine How come you're winking at the camera Oh that is something I did just for the viewers. Noice some a friend of mine was played in one of the tracks and he was dancing and I justist seeen himy man, you're moving like a hot sexy danc. and then I thought, oh my go, that's a great name for the. The whole album. Yeah. And there's a lot of daning music on there. I really enjoyed. It's got this hip hop flavour, which you know I find delicious Um Thanks, man Um, no I can't have you here without asking you Ricky. Iting wise, you are phenomenal in some of the stuff you've been in What the fuck is going on? Right, can we just cut there? First of all Why are you asking about acting stuff on the hip hop show? Secondly, why did you wink at the camera on a radio show? Thirdly complimented me about six or seven times It's very hard not to be complimentary it. someomeone might be a to Why are you telling me not to do it? And then youre going' show you how you should do it? No, I didn't compliment you. You did. I was very, very dismissive. I don't think you were. I I don't think you were dismissive. are pretty encouraging actually I didn't give you any big scale when I came in I think Ricky Martin, if usually you' like you'd be like I I was Ricky Martin like, J mean So yeah, what I'm saying is you need to be more of measured, I guess. Yeah, but I thought what you did was shit Yeah, I'm not an interview By the way Did you not think as I was justing intimidate you like? I think you could be a good interviewer I' not I'm not an interviewer. If I was an interviewing that would It's part of the thing is because a lot of the interviews One of the things, one of the main things people think they interviewing is difficult You actually have to have a basic foundational interest in other people That's where that's where you also in stuff that they're into. We just have to be you have to be interested in hearing what someone else has thought. I would I'd be the full down because in that Jill Scott thing they go, you know, make sure you listened to the album And I'd be like ye know, I've just played fee for allight outsideid consider And then I'll probably just blag it through. Yeah That's yeah, we should do it. Yeah. so And also you wouldn't be interested. Al also, you've heard Jill Scott., Jill Sott football' be great forz inter if you her. Yeah. Okay, so we've tured my problem, I guess Do you feel which I say making it worse I think that I can see you going forward and being one of the great interviewors of our time. Can I just say, I think this studio has changed you a little Why? because You've started doing this thing there where you sort of run off on a train of thought and then send yourself into like a giggling. because you know what it is? Well, I find you really funny I'm not doing anything. When you don't do anything, I find like the small little things that you say I find really, really amusing and your little looks Beuse I know that you're going to come back with something that kicks m I'm not trying to kick your ass. whatever that's what I like. I like the rampous nature of it. Yeah. I think I've always done this. I think it's more apparent because you're with me now Quite lot of the time in the old days, I was delayed So see, what would you do if like, you know we found out like a few months into of doing this? actually the delay is what really sort of makes us work. Iopefully do this. What you mean? Oh, okay, it's not that long a delay. Sometimes it was Not all the time. Yeah, sometimes you turn around and go and it Yeah, I just ate some roobob. Right, would of I said that? just say that. I actually don't think I've eaten Rubob in the last decade. Really? I don't think so. What are you doing Well I mean, in other stuff it's delicious. I'm just saying I'm not most delicious fruits out there Rhubarb is. Yeah. onene of the most delicious fruits. Wait a rhubarb crumble better than pineapple bit of the mango Why are you putting poor ruba up against to it? you know You say it's one of the most de forite apples. You say it's one of the most delicious fruits. I'm putting up some of other delicious foods Th thoseose two, but I'd say it that rhubo banana Banana look, I love banana, bananas look delicious it's delicious and root. Banana is not as delicious as rhubar. You get someone who knows what they're doing with rhubarb. You're in for a treat. You haven't had it for a decade. Get someone who knows what to do with a bana you're for a treat. I've got to say you haven'tan rhubarb for ages, so it's a bit unfair for you to sit here criticising it You haven't it for a decade? Yeah, the reason I've not add it for decade is because it's probably you had it cooked ins significant hands, who didn't know what they were doing with it No, I didn't have it cook by something. I had a stewed rhubarb. Eough sugar I don't know. suugar, you need it. a rubub. Yeah. That's what they say about all the naturally best tasting things. Aenta is good. loads of sugar. You put enough sugar on a dog shit, it'll be edible Rhubar is listen, I'm not dising Rharb. The flavor of rhubarb. wish to Rhubar and custard in a doughut Banana coton bana wouldn't even wantan to go anywhere near that. I would love a banana and custard donoughut I will tell you now, if there's a donoughut place out there doing and they're looking for What is the biggest seller? Get a rubar and custa banana and custa put them head to head. I guarantee everyone because it was, well I have the banana w water. I don't want to take a ris And then you'll literally be there and someone have the reubul on and go sayayir, Tiff It's amazing That was a massive So serious as somebody said adverte, he's taking a massive fucking bite there No I'd be so pissed off Right, Tom No actually Wolfpod at Gmail d. com.
