Thank you very much, Brett. What an introduction. Hello Sarah, What a pleasure to see you and you now, this is a great honor that you're Dinner podcast because I asked you to do this about two years ago and you said absolutely not. He said, no way, I won't do podcasts. And then our Lord and Savior Brenee Brown asked you to go on her podcast and you went like that, no questions asked, and I thought, yes, sure, of course, oh course, yes, Well it's Brendee Brown. I

do love you too, Brett. I happily this episode of Brennee Brown. But still after that, I was like, oh, okay, apologies, here we are. I'm so happy to see you now. I first met you on ted Lasso season two and what I love about you so much? So you're a

phenomenal actor, incredible actor and very serious actor. So it's such a serious actor and in real life you laugh all the time, and I don't know how anyone like when you know you, it's like you're probably an even greater actor than people think, because every time between takes your in yourself laughing. Yeah. I think when I first I first worked with Jason, I think he was a little bit confused, like she's doing Yeah, were you're You're

brilliant as everyone knows. Tell me, were you scared to join a cast of people that have been working together closely previous? I wasn't until you said it, were we scary? No, you weren't. You weren't scary. I think probably. I think it was until you said to me, what was it? Like? What's it like? I suddenly realized, like, you know, I've just been going through the motions of it all, and I realized, like, oh my god. Yeah. And then after that, the whole the whole afternoon, I was kind of like

at school, this is so weird. Yeah, I'm sorry I put that in your head. But there was so much love. There's so much love with every one on Ted last Tho, it's just it's really special. Yeah, just makes the joy coming into work. Yeah. One of my favorite days filming was the first day you were on a bike. And we'd written the character to be like incredible on a bike, like a slick bike. Part of her thing was she gets shipped down. She's own a bike. Fucking she builds

a bike. She goes on the bike, and it turned out you maybe perhaps hadn't ever been on a bike by the length of it. Yeah, you sort of in the background of a shot, just had to appear on the bike and you wobbled and you were you wobbled into frame and you were laughing so much. Good to see you just laughing in the background. And then you said something Jason like, oh, I'm maybe not that good on a bike, And he said, do you think Brett's

good at football? Which is very encouraging naturally. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just remember you. You were in you were like one of the trailers or you were in the car, and I remember you. And even June dud she's so encouraging. She's like, you've got it, You've got it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, tell me what You're in a film that I love very much, rocks what was that like to do? It's it seems very improvised or is it? Is it as in? It feels so real? And what was that like to

be part of? It was such a joy to work on that because it was in some I mean they had two writers, but it was kind of improvised, and they had, you know, these young kind of actors who never worked, never done acting before, where they've done like drama workshops and they've been together for some time. They were just so lovely and natural. I mean you could have written a story about every single one of those

young girls. It was good and it was just a joy to be around that energy, and they were just fearless. They just wanted to play. I just was like, wow, I'll be thinking about position, like what you know, how am I going to improvise this around this? Yeah? Just catch on your toes. It was such a lovely, lovely film. Yeah, book, He's just amazing. Yeah. Yeah. You do a lot of plays, right, you do the plays. I do a lot of plays. I place, I do a lot of plays. What's the

longest run of a play you've ever done? Some of them feel longer than they actually are. I remember doing the cruciboard, thinking this is bloody long. It was like going on for four hours. It was going on for four hours, and I was looking at the director. She likes a lot of gritty stuff, and I was looking at her. She's going to cut it. At some point, she's going to cut it, just like previews, previews. It's like,

determined not to cut this four hours, four hours. I did a one woman's show that was pretty bloody long to the point I started seeing. I was like, one point, I forgot my lines and I was waiting for the character to come in, but I was playing the character. It's like a second when I was like, I was kind of going, what's happening, and then it's like it's me. It's me. I'm supposed to speak. Yeah. What was the what was that? What was the woman? It was called

The Bogus Woman, written by Kayad said. She was a brilliant play and it was about this woman that was seeking asylum in this country. And it was around the time of the labor government, so early nineties, and it was about her and how she falls through the cracks. It was very heavy play through the cracks of the system. Yeah, yeah, but then do you know. That's how I got THEO as my agent. THEO came to see with Mike Lee. Really so at Jackson's Lane. Do you remember Jackson's Lane? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,

yeah yeah. So I had I had an audition with Mike Lee for a film, which was turned out to be Happy Go Lucky, and he was like, well, I'm going to come see you. It was like a mid scale tour. We've taken it to New York and Australia and then we were like doing like this mid scale tour and he's like, I'm going to either come to Croydon, Croydon Library or Crawley. Mikeley comes to Crawley. I was like, oh my god. Then it came to Jackson's Lane and he said I think he said to THEO. This is

what he told me. He said, I told THEO she better take you because you're gonna get snaped up. I didn't get snapped up any person. It came with a CEO took me on. Yeah. Wow. Are you ever allowed to say I've heard from someone, but I've never said in a podcast. I don't even know. I always wonder if it's like secrecy or whatever. What you did for a Michley audition or are you not allowed to say? Is it secrets? I don't think you allowed to say.

Just like you just do you just do. He just answers you to come in the room and do something, and then you just do something. You know, all above board, so much less obviously you know, we're also to secrecy. Please, yes, something we can't talk. He steps out, and then he steps in. Oh my god, this is this is it seems like it is. Yeah, and when you did that one, have you go lucky from what I understand your film for like six months or something and then you don't

know what what's being used and what's in the film. No, it was Yeah, it was a very long process. It's a very long process. And when you saw the film where you're like, oh that's what you were dude. Yeah, it's like at least I made the film, because I was like, I've heard all kinds of rubers how people get cut. At least I made the film. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Sarah. Now fuck, yes, I've forgotten to tell you something, oh Sarah. Oh no, I did write it down and I was

going to read it. Fuck I should have said at the beginning actually, but um, fu, you you've died, you're dead? No, yeah, it's actually awful. Yeah, I miss you. A slow, painful death. Wow, Okay, I choked out a party? Oh wow, in front in front of us? Did yeah? You know you laughing? I like that you died laughing, but very slowly and painfully. Yeah. Do you know what? Do you know what you were taking? Though?

Probably an olive? I'm never really into martinis, and I maybe had a Oh my god, how many of your loved ones were there? I mean there was a few people I didn't care for, but probably my my old school friends. There, two buddies, and so you were chaking it very slowly and painfully. People tried to help, but or they did. They did try to help, but I think there was a lot of time where they were just deciding what to do. There's a lot of confusion about what to do. Yeah, and then I got tired

of it. Let me out right. Yeah, Just to be clear, this is your decision, your You get to choose how you die. I didn't know that. I didn't know. Oh no, on the upside, you were laughing. On the down side, it was so painful, and no one helps you. Do you worry about death. Yes, you can, we talk about it. I have a fear. Yeah, yeah, I have a fear. I don't I don't think I fear it myself. I think I fear other people die. And then you know, like love ones, how they would feel if I died.

It's more about that. And I thought, should I go and work somewhere where I'd just like face to face with death all the time. Yeah, in order to, you know, in order to what do you think happens when you die? Is there a light? I think there's a light. Yeah, I have no bloody idea. I think this whole idea of it being this tunnel and there's a light and you see your loved ones. I'm not sure. I think I'd be in the waiting room for quite some time. I think I'd been like a waiting room waiting. What's

happening in the waiting room. There's like as in because there's a queue or because they're sort of it's just you in the waiting room. It's just you in the waiting room. Then they call your name, then you're off, And I'm like, what about the lights? Where's the angels? The Lessons of My Life with the book it's just a waiting room, like like a a doctor. It's just like a sort of bland. Yeah, but the old fact,

you know, there's old fashioned doctor. I don't know if you have had those surgeries, the old fashioned doctor surgeries. It looked like someone's living room. Yeah, well it's one of those. It looked like someone's living room, but it was actually a waiting instead of it being impact with patients, it's just you in the room and it's great. They're like House and Garden magazine and on the side or are you just sat there anything to Maybe there's magazines.

Maybe there's magazines and you get onto, you know, a really good magazine. You get distracted and it's your and then your name comes up and it's time to go. That's what I reckon. When your name comes up, do they does someone come out or is it just an announcement and you go through a door announcement? Right? Can you do some acting and do the voice that will

announce it? What does it sound like? I think it would be like one of those automated ones, be like Sarah Niles, Okay, and then you go through the door, and then what happens on the outside of the door. I don't know. It's probably I don't know. It could be just black and as you walk little lights come up. I don't know, like like think about it this dance floor, yeah, or like Rember the cinemas when you have a little lights, it's your lights used to be there, need to be

pitched black maybe something like that. But as you move the lights go on. Yeah, yeah, I like that. But then what's because a lot of what's happening in your death is there's an awful lot of sort of journey. You know, you've been in the waiting room. Now you're going and these lights are ahead of you. But what's it at the end of the path. I don't know. It's spit like my life really spit a journey. Yeah, I don't know what's to the end. Well, I'm gonna

bloody tell you. It's heaven. It's heaven. Baby. You've walked along these lighted panels and there's another door and you go in there at it. It's for kidding, Gray, It's filled with your favorite thing. What's your favorite thing? I love music. I love music. There's gotta be music in there. It's about time someone said music. We haven't no one said that this heaven is fucking great. There's music everywhere. The walls are made of vinyl records, the seats turntables.

You can get comfy, and everyone sings beautifully if you want them to. And there's even people with guitars who will only play when you want them to, and it's just beautiful. Everyone's so excited to see you, and everyone speaks in rhyme. It's really lovely, and everyone's just very excited to see you, and they want to talk about your life. They're huge fans, but they want to talk about your life through the medium of film. And the first thing they ask you, what's the first film you

remember seeing? The first film I remember seeing. My mom used to take us to the cinema, so I think she took us to see The Black Hole. Do you know that? I do know The Black Color, the Disney film. Yeah, I think she took she took me to see that, but I didn't understand. I didn't understand what was going on apart from it was in the middle of like a black hole. It's like space. But yeah, that was one. Yeah, and I used to have this um I want you

call the Fisher Price. The one was red and you'd get those view finder and I had one of the Yeah, she brought me the one with a black hole, and I'd be looking through the black hole. As far as I remember, and I have seen it. It was a Disney film and they made it after Star Wars. It was meant to be like their version Star Wars. But it's incredibly dark and it ends with them all going into a black hole and sort of floating after death. Yeah. Man, I've watched it again quite a few years back, and

I didn't. I still didn't understand quite other spoored quite understand was going. I remember watching that film. It's amazing and scary. Space. Yeah. When you say we took out, how many of you went? Do you have me and my sister? Yeah. My mum was really into sci fi. She took us to see Star Wars as well. But she was yeah, is your sister elder or younger? Older?

And where was this? This was in Stretum. My brother was He used to have the wallpaper what my brother had the wallpaper the black How my mum bought him the wallpaper for the black hole? He had it in his room. He had the best wallpaper, you know those days when you got really good wallpaper. You had that. I think he had Maximilians of Battlestar Galactica. I think he had on that really cool. It was your wallpaper flowers, floral, very floral, pinks and magnolia. Right, no, no, what Tark film?

Do you remember thinking, Oh, I like the cinema or were you just like this is fucking scary. That was scary. I mean I did love the cinema because you used to go. It used to go down, like I said it was, it was pitch black, and you used to have somebody's come and check your tickets. You'd have someone to come and check your tickets, and you'd go down, go up, maybe with a torch, and they'd guide you to the seat and you'd go down to the seat and you'd sit down. I love that. I missed that

kind of magic. It was like dark, I'm sterious that someone's got torch and you've got you gotta wait your turn, you know, eager to get in the seat. You gotta wait your turn. And if you're late, the trailers are up and stuff like that. But you're right, it's more of an event. Yeah, what is the film that made you cry? The most. Do you cry a lot sarandous? Yeah. I was always told I was a sensitive child. I used to cry a lot of movies. My daughters the same.

She cried a lot of Jungle Book, Oh bless. But the film that I watched that made me, do you know there were so many eat was one but the Champ Do you remember the champo fade done away? Yeah? And what was what was the kid's name? Oh gosh, isn't it Britt? That's it? Yeah? Yeah, that film, oh picular When you look back in now, it's just like, was it with the fact, Yeah, she was kind of like the mum was taking going to take him away,

and he wanted John Voy's character. He was like a used to be a pro boxer with a successful boxer, but he turned to alcohol and gambling, and he was going to get his son taken away, and the only way he was gonna get custody is if he took another fight so he could provide for his son. And there's a whole scene where he's begging him, you know, wake up, wake up, wake up, You're the champ wake up. Awful slightly slightly manipulative when you think about it, it

was very good at I know, I know. Do you like crying? Yes, it's cathartic. I enjoy it. It's like a cleansing mybies. It's one of my hobbies. I think I think I cry a lot more since I've had a kid. I think I cry a lot more. And yeah, that makes sense, Yeah, that really makes sense. It's a funny one because I feel like when I was younger, I found it really uncomfortable to cry. I just couldn't cope with crying of this, this poor boy losing his dad. I was just like, it's too much. But as I've

got older, I'm kind of like, yeah, I understanding. I've been on understanding. Yeah about that feeling. What about being scared? Do you like being scared? No? I do not. And the older I've got the worst. Yeah, the worst it's got. I mean during COVID, I kept thinking I need to watch more horror movies. I really had this strong feeling to watch movies. But no, I don't, like, I don't. I've watched yeah, some crazy they were crazy kind of films like dolls, dolls, things like dolls, and yeah, did

you even see that? Yeah that's so stupid. And yeah, nightmare and elm watching. Yeah, but what's the one that scared you the most? Oh, Blood's Exorcist. It's Exorcist. I remember my brother and my mom and dad were getting rich what they're gonna go and watch it, and they're like, it's tough for you to go to bed. So I pretended to go to bed, but I watched for the crack of the door like a fool fool. I was,

Oh my gosh, I could not sleep after that. Yeah, the whole, the whole religion and the fusion of religion and sex. Yeah, possession was like, what, it's nasty that film. It's really awful. Yeah, yeah, it's really I don't think I understood it when I was little, because I did watch it. I was little, when I thought it was sort of boring. I didn't get it. And then I watched it a couple of years ago and I was like,

fucking hell, this is so dark. It's so dark when she turns her head around and oh my god, and she's like and it's like, oh my god, I want to curst you reboot please. That'd be great. That'd be so good, you wouldn't it. That's a good idea. That's a genius idea. What the film that people don't like it? It's not crizzily acclaimed, but you love it unconditionally. It was hard to decide this one. There's so many, but there's one. I'm not sure that I think people do

love this film. It's scrooged. I love Bill Murray, I mean love love Bill Murray. And yes, some of the effects were questionable, but the ghosts. But I love that film. I kind of religiously watch it if I can, nearly every Christmas. And it's got one of my favorite actresses in it, Alfrey Would. I just love her. She's brilliant, She's so good. I'm sure a lot of that film is improvised. I just think it's so funny. Yeah, I wonder if it is. That's an you can have that.

That's a great I can have that one. You can Yeah, I'm sure this far worst films. Yeah. On the other hand, what's a film that you used to love but you've watched it recently and you've got, oh no, I don't like this anymore. Well, that would definitely be ghost I can't bear that. Why I watched it in years? What's wrong with going I haven't watched it years. I think I think if I watched it again, I'll probably be a bit more forgiving. But it was I think I

was caught up in the romance. Yeah, chicks crazy. I'm thinking, oh, this is so sexy, so romantic, and then you think about it's like what, Yeah, I mean, this was This was a hard one I had. I had, I had Ghost and I had Breakfast a Tiphanies, which I still love, but it's probably not appropriate making Rooney preposenttivities has quite a huge problem in it. That is extraordinary when you

were it's mind blowing. It's mind blowing. The problem in Breakfast, Like it's not like if you said to someone watch prefosctifty, it's a classic, then they're so something a bit off in it, see if you can spot it, and then that's pretty bad. Yeah, oh you mean that. It's really outrageous. It's wild, It really is. Yeah, it's quite a big part of the film. You can't pretend that it's not there. Yeah, and it goes on and on. Yeah, it's incredible that

it was okay at the time. Yeah, I don't understand that it's mad, but yeah, the rest of the film is lovely. Sure, sure, she looks great. Great cats the cats. I love the song, love the song. Yeah yeah, What about the film that means the most to you? Not necessarily the film itself is any good, but the experience you had around seeing the film will always make it special to you. Sarah and Iles, that would be imitation of life. Have you seen this movie? This is Douglas

sec film. Yes, yes, talk to me, Okay, I watched this. It was you know, in the days when you'd sit with nothing to do in a weekend, mostly a Saturday, and they would show the movies on TV. And I remember my mom talking about it was one of the first films she saw in Barbados with her dad, and I was like, wow, it's that old. And then I remember watching it and I remember my mom just in tears. She was in tears. And then I've watched it again and again over a number of years. I loved that

film so much. It's just such a struggle, that film. And I think about those two brothers, and particularly is it one eater the mother and her raising like kind of mixed race child in those times, and her totally rejecting the mum, and then it's too late by the time she turned around, and one that you know wants to run to her. She's dying. And then you've got my Halo Jackson singing, Oh my gosh, what a song. Yeah. I loved that film. I just remember seeing my mom

crying so much. That's just like, is she going to recover from that film? Yeah, it's really odd when you're a child you see your parent cry. Yeah. Good title, imitation of life. It is really good performances. Do you like the Far from Heaven? You've seen that the Todd Haynes with Julian Moore and it's kind of yeah, it's like a Douglas seque homage. Yeah, I believe. I wonder if Yeah, I think I would. I loved Julian Moore. Oh she's the best. She's bloody gorgeous. She really is.

I'm gonna write when I saw Seen with so much stuff, when I saw in Big Labowska, I was like, yeah, she could be one of my girl crushes. Yeah, yeah, she's very What about the film you most relate to relate to? I watched this film a while but and that was Pressure horace Ov and it was set in London, and it was like this young boy trying to like born in England and he's trying to can't work out being British and his families from the Caribbean, and it's about, yeah,

him just trying to get a job. And that was one film that I really relate to do it. This is really hard because I'm terrible at making decisions, and it was that one. And then I saw Lulu Wang's The Farewell and I thought that could be. That could be my family. It's just and the secrets, Yeah, the

kind of I just loved it. I just it just somehow resonated to me, like you know, the cooking of food and preparing of food, to keeping the secrets from the grandmother and just trying to but it's bloody funny. I think it's something about the immigrant I think that's what it. Yeah as well, is your family. Would your family keep a secret from the grandma like the secret

in the Fair World? I think definitely. I mean, my grandparents are no longer around, but I think I think, not not as extreme as that, but I think they would keep They all keep secrets. The older you've stuck, you know, these little little gems start coming out as they get older. They all keep secrets, the families, how

they keep together and hide things interesting. I mean I haven't I haven't heard their secrets, but I always feel like, like particularly I can only really speak from a Caribbean perspective, like my family, I feel like particularly mums, mothers. I think they should have they missed a trick when they invite people to come over and work on the buses in the hospitals, they should have got them to work for secret intelligence. So that fucking right. Tell they missed

a trick. I want to make that film even more than they want to reboot The Exorcist with you reading, that's a great idea. They missed a bloody trick. I'm telling you. I've talked to lots of my friends with you know, the parents or grandmothers or something, especially like with Alzheimer's and stuff like some of them, even with that, they'll hold those secrets to the grave. Man. Yeah, you think they're going to leak certain things out? Nothing will.

They're impenetrable. I respect that. Yeah, yeah, that's cool. What is here? We go? Saradasm sorry to do this to you. What's the sexiest film you'd ever see? Oh? My god? See this is This was hard because I like, I think what sexy film I was thinking of was like I was like, oh, Moonlight's really sexy. No it's not. It's a tender film. It's a love story. And I was like, anyone one I could remember that was making me like kind of uncomfortable. I watched it was She's

got to have it Spike Lee the film. I remember going, yeah, I mean yeah, but you know, I thought, I remember that one's being sexy, but for me uncomfortably because I was quite young at the time, going this is too raunchy. She's with this person and that person, and I remember, yeah, I remember that. I remember that definitely. She was gorgeous. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and she just I think for me, like she had so much agency over her sexuality that kind of freed

me at the time at the time. Yes, sure, yes, yes, yeah. There's a subcategory to this question. Traveling Bone is worrying Why Dones, what's the film you found arousing that you weren't sure you should. Again, I was young. I know someone else has mentioned this film, but not for this reason. It's got to be Howard the Duck. Howard the Duck. That is a perfect answer, as long as you mean about animals at the time, I mean the duck. I mean the duck that was kind of Yeah, what's extraordinary

about that. It's not that that you were attracted to a duck, it's that Howard's a bit of a dickhead. I think it says more about the that's the traveling bit. It's like, I don't learn it. It's a duck. It's just Howard's not you know, it's a bit. He's a bit of a Dickityward I was young, un foolish. He had it was a bad something about him. And yeah, he was a bad duck. He had something about him, and she found she was kind of like, oh, and it's all he was when he started quivering in his tai. Yeah,

so that's revealing. I love I love you for answering that. Probably so few people do. I also think you saying we had something about him. For Howard the ducks, he had something about it, especially when they're singing. That's at the end. You know, Howard the duck didn't didn't. Yeah, he was kind of yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, he had a way before yeah, yea, yeah, he's trouble. I don't mind it. I thought we should quickly pass what is the what is objectively, objectively the greatest film of all time?

I'm going to s this lies, but I want to say, don't judge me, but I love this film so much. Is stir crazy? Anything with Gene Wilder and anything want a Richard Prior, Oh my gosh, that combination. It's like, it's just it just makes me feel good. So that's a great film. What magic magic combo? They were, Ah man, Yeah, I'm sure there's some things in there that are totally unappropriate for our time, but yeah, I'm almost definitely sun Yeah. What about what's the film you could or have? What's

the most over and over again? The producers, there's a there's a mel Brooks. Yeah, I love that film. I had. I remember one point when I was like like having depression. I would play the opening of the film right up to when Gene Wilder comes in and his baby blue banking. I would watch on repeat, and then I'd got off on my day. I loved that film, absolutely love it. Zero Mostell genius. Yeah, yes, do you love the musical? Did you see the musical? I didn't see the musical.

I just felt like I was kind of a bit purist about it, and I wish I had seen it. Actually, it's really funny. I think I think you'd have been a right of it because mel Brooks had written it. It wasn't yeah, it wasn't like it's very funny. Yeah, But I think after watching it on repeat, I was a bit obsessed with gene Wild, I was just look, yeah, he's so yeah. Was he a crushed of yours? Probably yeah, old ball, Yeah, probably a crush of life. Something about him.

It was something about Yeah, I loved yeah, China Chocolate Factory. I loved him in that, and I could tell he slightly hated the children. But oh yeah, just brilliant, just the imagination. He's just yeah, oh yeah, definitely he's a bit of medic. Yeah he is. I don't like being negative saringers, but we have to briefly, what's the worst film you ever saw? Do you know I'd put any of those bad come food movies, like Steven said, go

hate them. I'm loves them, cannot stand them. But I was gonna say, it's kind of like a I still have a love hate real issue with it. It's probably Gremlins too. How dare you. I know, I know, but I love it. Do you know what I was in a comic shop, you know, when I had them kind of like these sized versions of the Little Gremlins, lovely little boxes, and I thought, yeah, when i've got more money than since, I'm going to buy a lot of those. Absolutely love them. But yeah, it's Gremlin because I love

Gremlins one. And i'd love to say, yeah, I'm seeing Gremlins too, mightly better? Do you think so? I love Gremlins too? Oh, dear funny. It's funny, it's wild. It's got a musical sequence when they say in New York, New York, it's got a Lady gre Lynn, It's it's got a back gremlin. It's got a satire on Trump long before he was he was. Yeah, it's got Lex Leefer's dad in it. It's fucking brilliant. True. Yeah, I should have gone with Steven Sigel. Yeah. Well, I'm really

mad at you. But that's okay, that's okay. But I am angry at you. No, I'm not angry. I'm disappointed. You're disappointed. I'll let you down. That's even worse. I'd rather you be angry. Okay, I'm going to watch it again, and then everythink ever, think about what you've done today. Yeah, yeah, I think about what you've said. Yeah, what is okay? You're you're in comedy, You're very funny. What's the film that made you laugh the most? Oh my gosh, I've said, producers,

I've said, do you know what one? I actually really no, I can't keep. I can't keep you know what. I really loved The Big Lebowski. I loved it. It's got one my favorites. John Taturo, I absolutely love him. He's definitely one of my crushes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, bridges Man, the dude, he's just so cool. There's just so much, there's so much that feel. I absolutely love my found myself going around my wife. My wife has ample allowanced relating pieces from the film, but it is and John

Goodman is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. It's so funny. I watch another one, Sarah. Now you've been absolutely wonderful. As expected, However, bless when you were given the choice of how to die, you were you decided on a dinner party, were having a dinner party, and you were surrounded by loved ones, but also quite a few people you didn't want there as well. Basically it's kind of a notemare dinner party. And you were handed a Cosmopolitan, I believe, and it

had an olive in. It's that right, Cosmo, boss, That is that the one that has the Martin. It was a Martin and you said cheers, and you downed it and the olive went straight into your throat and got caught, and you were laughing and you started laughing, but you then started chaking, and people were like, is she laughing or is she choking? And all your friends had like a meeting about it. They all met around the other You're just choking slowly, very painfully and very slowly choking

to death. And all your friends went around elder on the table they hadn't at meeting. Do you think she's still laughing or do you think she's choking? And one of them said she'll we try and help her, and but then the other one said, do you know the Heimlich maneuvers? Like someone of them said, well, I've seen it in a film, but I don't know how easy it is in real life. So then they tried to google it. One they couldn't get the Wi Fi pass.

Who's got the wi fi. Meanwhile, you're still on the other side of table, very slowly and painfully checking, and then one of them goes, sorry, could you get that? Do you have like the modem for your WiFi? Because it's quite and they go and then, oh god, that guys, Oh god, it's it's a really complicated WiFi. It's actually like loads of capital letters and some small letters and

numbers and symbols. Go and get John, Go and get the actual box, take a picture of it on your phone and bring it in here and then we can put the WiFi in. Meanwhile, you're still very slowly back checking all your friends. This is dark and cruel your friends. And they get they comes back to WiFi, reads it out to two mony friends. Is like capital W, little W, little eye seven six capital then and ship and the person goes, oh shit, I'm sorry. Can we start again again? Yeah?

W capital you're still checking slightly capital big W a little I'm so sorry. I think I'm nervous. Can you start again? Just very slowly? So it's a capital W. And they finally get the WiFi passed with it, and then they're like, how do you spell haimlick? How do you spell because I've been lick and it's just the video of Haym performing and someone like licking and microphone mean while you're very slightly bathfully choking to death or your friend anyway. One of them goes, oh, I like

that band. Hey, yeah, no, not hey, it's home Lick Home, Lick maneuver anyway. You then collapse to the floor. They still go, oh god, what do we do? Well, just I still need the password. And then one of them says, oh, I think I think maybe she's dead, and they go, oh shit, I'm walking past with the coffee. A knock on the window. I go, you're having a dinner party.

I hate dinner parties. And they go, yeah, this one's been quite bad actually, and they go why, and they go, I think while we were trying to fit a Wi Fi pass within, Sarah died from checking on an olive and I was like, well, that's awful. So I come in.

I try and pack you into the coffin. But because of all the air you'd taken in as you're swollowing the martini, you've actually like puffed up quite a lot, and your body is now much bigger than it normally and so that isn't the right size for the coffin. So then have to get your friends in the game, bring some knives and stuff. You have to chop you up, chop you out. Everyone's oh, everyone's joining in chopping you up. Chop now it's quite Bundy excide for everyone in a way.

And then everyone put some in the coffee and the coffee is absolutely rammed. And just to reiterate, this was your choice. Coffee is absolutely rap And there's only enough room in this coffee room. In this coffee by the way, when we chopped you up, you know what happened, and olive popped chopped out, just popped out someone in the forehead anyway, But there's any enough room in this coffin for me to slip one DVD into the side and you can take that to the other side. And on

the other side, it's movie night every night. What film are you taking to show the people of heaven? When you get out of that waiting room, you go along the lit pathway and it's your movie night. What film, Sarah Niles, I'm gonna go for the film. I don't feel at home anymore, do you know the one absolutely I might get bored after future?
