I'm not the fittest anymore mate, but. Nico. Does it work for you? Well, it makes me feel guilty. Yeah. It makes me go out. My heart. It's too high. I might die here. Right? Which is a nice reminder. And style wise, let me see it. Sleek, Sleek. Thin. Sleek black. Stylish. Now do you know what I don't like is the look guys you'll wear like the whip or the Fitbit on one arm and then the watch on the other. You know. Too many things I.
Know I know what you're saying. You know what my real big problem is with the whoop is like Stephen works for me, right? It works pride and pinion. He runs the company. I do fuck all, basically, but every day he's like, ah, my sleep score is like 40. And I was like, I don't give a fuck. Yeah. I mean, it's this obsession for scores. Yeah. And I'm like that really. I I'm a very addictive personality. How many hours a night do you sleep? You in bed late?
Yeah, I will be in bed very late. Like what time? I'm not a very good morning person, but I will be in bed about two, yeah, two, 3:00. That's why you're not good in the mornings. That's that's late to go to bed. If I went to bed at 3:00 in the morning, woke up, I'd be grouchy. I'm not a morning guy. I go to bed at 2:00 and get up at 4. I'm just not in a great mood, don't want to wake up. I go to I You got to go to bed before the Before the Devil comes out.
You'll be asleep before 11. Like that? Devil Time. He comes out of 12 but like I get asleep beforehand to make sure because. The devil might have left his watch at home. He might just going by feeling, yeah. I hope would definitely be too confrontational for me, mate. Yeah, your sleep score is 20. Yeah like and I have this thing. I may just go out snacking and like middle of the night or something. I just in bed for an hour. You made that seem like it's like a sleepwalking thing.
You're like, I just go snacking, like you're not in control of it. I I sleep order Uber Eats. I sleep drive to Tesco. 24 hour. Yeah. Nico, what do you think? This is? A Casio illuminator, Water resistant, 50 metres. Classmate, it's got there. Actually saw you wearing some different watch with the reach, but when reach was there I don't want to handle but some some some plastic.
No, it wasn't plastic. It was like like leather strap gold colorish Oh. My friend was getting married and then he he got the boys a nice nice fossil watch. Yeah, I saw that's like, oh, he's, he's, he's making moves, you know, he's making moves. Trying to be a real boy. Yeah, man, that's. Better than the fossil was no offence. This yeah, I just I like. I just, you know, I just like Casio. What do you, what do you wear in there? Big shooter? That's not a Casio.
No, that's a sound blasted. We shot male. That's actually. That sounds like a breed of dog. Is your dog sound blasted? What kind of dog Hold on like save as yourself sound blasted dog. Yeah, that's that's that's sound blasted RM11 Philippa Massa. So it's a collaboration that we shot Mill. The brand is done with Felipe Mossa, the former F1. Driver. I've been calling that Richard Mele for years. Anytime I read that brand the magazine. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But like the French are very and the Swiss and the French are very anal about like we shot me, you know, it's like it needs to be like a certain. Do you not get worried like carrying out about? In order that issue fall, no, no. In case of fall, yeah. No, that, that would be a genuine worry for me, yeah. You do like a bit like. You know banana skins slip. I felt today before I came to the podcast, Yeah talk. Stripped the word dustbin in the massage. Lost the head. So passion cluttered.
Dave's not doing podcast. He's 1/2 of the Chuckle Brothers. Tripped over a dustman. No, I thought. I thought it was done for it. See this age you go. Nicole, when you travel, have you ever had like a hairy experience where you think someone's trying to steal? Your watch. Oh yeah, that the night in Bangkok. What happened? Can we talk about that? Yes, yeah. So I had a prototype of a watch on the sort of proto that the actual.
We released the watch together with a very important watch brand I had #1 the prototype were for clean Fortune, right? Like like ball ballpark. $550,000 Like yes, fucking what sort? Of dollars like which country? Like proper, like math crazy you you'll love it. It's an OR strap. The money love straps. Yeah. Exactly but. I don't know how you're just sitting with that. I couldn't like put my hat if I'm carrying that much on my
wrist. If I had a 200 LB watch on, I'd be so careful about where I was putting my hand down. I'd just be so worried. What do you think can go wrong with that? Nothing. Well, if I go, if I go past 51 metres, everything, according to the watch. No go past 51 metres. But no, it was a it was someone tried to steal that watch basically. And a friend of mine, Tommy, Tommy Teeth, as I call him Tommy Turkey Teeth, is from Bella Mona. I thought you meant Tommy Teeth,
like a thief. I was like, he's the guy. He's like, this is what a thief would do if they. Yeah, yeah. He went to some place here in Belfast to get teeth but like the whitest I've never seen. That's what. That's a mistake they all make. Anyone who's getting taped on here don't have the whitest of white. No, but they're like 2 levels down white. Right. Like whiter than white even. Like, it literally smiles and it's like what? It's a bit wild. Like so did he know someone he'd tip you off?
Oh no, no, he, he looks after me sometimes, right in. What way that signs? Because if people try and rob me, smiles at them and. In Bangkok they go get to it. In Bangkok he saved me basically. So he took the watch from the guy. How did you know we got it off? Made I was absolute yeah I was he just doesn't look out something he's amazing like but. Were you in a restaurant or? Like no, it wasn't a club by I never get like that ever. Oh, you've. Had a one or two. With 150 grand watch on.
And the problem is, I think I was drugged that night, right? Sleep drug, those guys do it. You're like, hey. I think I was drugged that night. That was proper, like the Hangover experience. And the funny bit is we were doing a photo shoot with our clothing brand at that night and it needed to be a bit of hangover type of apes, right? But it. Oh, you said you're a method actor. You're like you had the IT. Was a while it wasn't wild or what, That was ridiculous. Was it and when they get?
When they get I have to be. Careful, I want. To know I don't know how I got back. To that what were you drinking? What were you drinking? Tequila, yes, yeah, yes. Straight, yeah. But so tequila in in that part of the world or even in America is like what whiskey is here. Like we only have shit tequila and in here basically like the stinking rank bullshit, right? Well, if you go to America. It's delicious. Horrendously again. You then proceeded to do not a
Mexican song at all. You're doing we fiddly the Irish. No, that's listen making bonds mate. I'm not building walls, I'm breaking them down. You're drinking tequila. So tequila. So we have all sorts of whiskeys here. They don't have that there. They have just all sorts of tequila, right? So yeah, that was some experience. So does it taste like the get a shot of it or do you have like a Tumblr? You ship it? Yeah. How did the guy get? Off your wrist was a sleight of hand.
I don't, I mean, I don't know very much about that night to be honest. And like. So was it like that that's fold it onto your wrist or is it like through the week whole? I'm a strap. I may have just oh, look at this. I don't know. You know, see if you're in a bar, I just let's come tequila in Bangkok and you go, this is worth 150 grand. I guarantee there's going to be a few girls going to have some of that, you know, some of that.
So it's your fault, really. And it's my fault and I know when I take full. Response. And what happened if Tommy Gate wasn't there? If he hadn't got that back. I would have what happened? To you you've. Been fucked. How did Tommy get it back? I don't know, Tommy has his means. And big shout out to you, Tommy. That's a hairy situation because. Listen, that situation I got myself in, but before that, like in London, in London it'd be, it's very dangerous, I'm not
going to lie, right? I'm recognisable for a person in my industry. So we're in AI do not wear a watch in London, period. And I'm in London often for business. So we usually have security and I am very on the ball with how we take care of things etcetera. So. But no, Northern Ireland never had a problem. Never. Have you ever pickpocket the day of robbed or? Anything no no comes near me, I do it. He's the thief. Yeah, our maid Stevie hit me saying this. Got robbed by a one arm guy and
spin. Robbed a guy with one arm and spin. So what was he? How was he? He was. Getting on a boss and a guy with one arm came up to him, like part of his back and all. As he was getting on the boss, you know, he's like, oh, like, have a good journey. What? Did he rob him with in the hands of his back? What's getting the? As he was popping his back, he like he put his hand in his pocket and also and took all his money. What did he use to distract him? Yes, I'm curious about.
That. Yeah, Wave. Something. No, I have no idea, but I think I'm. Very restless with my feet like so I can Peck like my toes I'm into. Outbreak see by the end of this podcast, trying to take me goes watch. For your food, like does this guy have other body parts that he can use like a slip in? Take his wallet and put it away. Yeah, I'd be. So if I had an expense of anything on, I'd be so paranoid about it. Yeah, I break everything. Everything without me in terms clumsy.
Guy I wore a friend's Rolex for like a second as he was showing me it and I was like I can't even sit with us on my wrist. Why is that? Is that just the your mind or was like you don't break a Rolex like you cannot break it to period We'll. See, we're doing YouTube series. Can we break that? He works. Listen, do you want me to borrow you? Well, no fully. Insured I I promise I would appreciate it so much. I just couldn't. I couldn't relax and work. I couldn't relax and work.
I told you this in the last time we I was here, right? Comedians and watches make big thing. They love it. They love it. You were in Austin, right? And I want to hear everything about that, by the way, because of like Victor Bollocks.
Every so they all had Rolexes yeah so that it seems like a bit of a thing and it but the word amongst the age couple reasons just complete personal preference If I was in an audience watching someone really in everyday life and they're wearing and I was like that watch is worth 2030 grand but. People don't. Find it harder to relate and also I'm very particular but like my doing my time properly on stage. She was Dave Elliott, no more so than this guy. He's the ombudsman.
If anyone was one minute over Dave, they're dead. The Dave and I see that. 11 on pickpocket he used to be a comedian, went over. Yeah, so I, I like to check my time on stage and I'm used to Casios for that. I probably have. Yeah, that's there for the gig tonight. And that's the perfect one for just checking my time. We stop watching it on stage. So I, I don't know, just I like to be as relaxed as possible. And I would be so conscious about how much that was worth
when I was on stage. It wouldn't help me relax. See to like the normal guy and you go, what's a watch do tell the time. Yeah, what do? You mean to that first? Why? When did you first go? I like watches. This is what I'm into. It's not the watch itself that tells the time, it's the whole idea and the concept behind it. We had a we had a chat with Brian Cox about this right the mod smart guy. Kevin, Damian. Great Brian Cox. Talk to me. I've talked it up my Nico. That's a lovely watch.
Fantastic. Does it tell the time? Oh so. Sounds very creepy. It's a. Little bit like. Oh, take your watch off Nico. Oh. And your pants, you know. Something. Is it Gary Barlow trying to? No, that's Gary there. Gary's somewhere a little bit more like that. That's equally creepy. That's. The lighter Brian Cox. So what is? What's is Brian Cox Rock going to watch? Yeah, yeah, actually it does. But having conversation for me as a kid, right, I'll go back to the Bangkok spot.
For me as a kid, it's not the time or it's not the value or it's not. It's the fact that we did, we have to find time at some point, right? This is time and this is how we measure it. And we've done that in the past or very, very old past that we we've been. Able to sundial. Sundial some clocks of fucking. I know what I'm talking. About exactly. Don't know how to work or. What? But we've then defined that day, the sun, the sun and night. We've we've separated that.
Then we've separated the, the daytime, we've separated the evening and the night time. So for me, the fact that we have, we as human beings created the device that tracks that and we have to find that that was always the fascinating part. Mate, I am full blown ADHD, right? I cannot concentrate on nothing, right? It is what it is. As a kid, all I wanted to do was either play Lego or take a watch apart, put it back together.
Like I enjoyed that, that element and that is for me something that that's why it started for me as a kid. I never thought that I would make a career out of this Mate. I come from fuck all. I don't never had a money, a penny in my pocket. You see what I mean? And it's still not today the financial side that interests me. That's why we have people around us that do actually care about that.
Because with my fucking lavish fucking idiotic spending, sometimes we need people that we need more commercial than me, to be honest. But like for me it is the the fact that we track the track time and the fact that it lasts a lifetime. To give you an idea, if you buy a Rolex up banner for 9/9 and a half 10 grand or maybe even you get handed down a watch like that mate, that's will survive
yourself. And like, I bought a watch whenever my son was born and I will wear that watch 17 times, meaning that on every single one of his birthdays I will wear that watch. And when he's 18, he gets that watch. If he sells it, I'll fucking kill. Like I'll fucking kill. Him. Oh, my dad handed me anything cool like a watch, whatever. I would send you a hand you Jesus is like Lord knows what that man. I am. His kneecap, probably he has
that somewhere. Brian Cox, by the way, just Brian. We had this conversation. We as human beings still don't know what time is. We've, it's just like we don't know. We've just mentioned, we just decided that and we've decided to create a device to track that. So we still don't know. There's still no proof that. Are you saying there could be even another R that we? Yeah, exactly. You never know. It's. 20 past 13, you know what I mean?
Maybe there's 25 hours in a day we don't know if we find. Out anything. Could be anything. Yeah. Approach it without. John Day, I'm. Actually skinny. But I see what you mean about like, so those comedians in Austin, like at the mothership, all those comics, they all Rolexes. But I understand like they saw that as they've worked to a certain level, they've got these gigs. So they are are treating themselves to that. But it's just it's just that
they. All know The thing is right, Americans are way, way too much of your face like people from here, just like like this is where you see that in many aspects. I see that on YouTube, right. I would never put a customer on camera. Never. But in America. Oh, that's all. Oh look at me showing off my 2 underground bargaining. For a Rolex and you said though a lot of a lot of. Them shut up too, but comedians it would probably be the Americans are way more open.
We're way more like I we don't have much I'm I'm poor like otherwise the fucking tax man calls whatever. You never know, like, but we're way more, I would say humble about that. Yeah. We don't care about that too much, I think, yeah. What's your most any lavish purchases recently that you've got told off for by like other people around you? Yeah, every everything I do gets old off for me.
Give me example like say when you're travelling, when you're going to Bangkok, Yeah. Are you like, are you cleaning up with the duty free or anything? No, no, no. No, no, or anything like that. No, I'm trying to lose weight. You know, it's very hard, but no, I'm I'm under, I'm thinking at the moment and I haven't even told anyone this yet, but I'm thinking about a specific car, which would be a brilliant idea, but I promised not to buy another car. So I'm we've been in conflict
here at the moment. So you get a notion and you'll go for it. I'm really impulsive, yes. What was the stupid purchase you've made looking back on? I ordered some naughty stuff during COVID. Jet skis were actually great. Well, because in the end I made money on them. Right. That was good, but everyone was like, you're a lunatic. And I'm like, yeah. I got an omelette maker on Amazon but £25 tiny. Yep, you don't the. Almond. You just need to look in the roommate. You're an almond maker.
Just put on a path, fold it over. I can try that. For this week I bought 3 packets of grapes, Marks and Spencer's. I thought you only need 2. Yeah, but in M and S3 M&S punnets, yeah. That is fucking mad expensive, by the way, but it's delicious. Mixed seedless. It's grape is a grape isn't? It not, no, that's not just any grapes. These are. Mad expensive. That's a 2. That's one thing we have in common. Well, me and Dave go lavish.
We'll buy like a wee, a wee jacket or a shirt and Marks and. Spencer I mean, that's lavish. That's as lavish as I go. Jackets and fruit from Marks and Spencers. That's me going. You've done well. There's a real fruit problem. I do but. I buy Pershing Pigs on tour. I've talked about that's my new addiction. I go on tour. I'm going away this weekend and I bought some Pershing pigs for the car. Have you? Tried reverse E pigs, they fuck your mind. You're talking about time space continuum.
Now there's so many options with fucking Persy pigs. Mean revert. There's Vegan Persy. Pigs. Like what the fuck is that about? They're actually quite nice because the different sort of chew, but reverse E pigs are, you know, we pink bit and as we ears are like the red bits, the face of red eyes are pink. This is how I my persy pig. Everyone has their own way and there's no right answer. If you just go. I just stack 4 but I do a stack 4 on top of them and just. That's how I do it.
See, that is love. That's impulse and lavishness, right? What you want to do is get the two years, push your finger into the middle of the face, folded the ears over, then fold again so it's a twice folded Percy pig, perfect for one bite. Done you. Call that we pork burrito a. Burrito. Yeah, I would. Did you do the nickel? Did you do the Gumball 300? 3000, yeah. Oh what? I'm not saying them up to, I'm saying for the 300, not as much. You try.
You drive in Belfast to Bangor in your own car. Matters experience with my life. I'll never forget that. So that used to be on. Would that have been like Channel 4 back in the? Day I has been I Ed was. What's the concept of this whole thing? Jackass made a movie about it, and was it 2012 or 13, right? And that's how I got introduced to that, right? Did you love Jackass back in the day? Yeah. It was the best thing I. Was like not obsessed that Midget one.
I felt like connected to it. We know. I felt like that's. The wee person doesn't. I mean, I'm a wee person. Like I'm a wee bit fat, but I mean I'm also wee bit short like but like. We mom was your guy. We was my guy, like. Who's your favourite Jackass? Ryan Don? Was Ryan Don the guy with dance Nick? No, I know he's dead. Oh, I know he's dead. Party boy, it's disrespectful. Party boy, don't snake right on
itself. Respect. Right. His face, yeah, he had self respect when he was doing all those respectful stunts. Yeah, he ran OK randoms, my favourite. Yeah. Yeah, or IP. Like let me, I'll give him his Jews. But yeah, I like them as well. I give him his dues. But I liked all those shows. So sorry that put the idea in your mind. Yeah, and the gumball was in Belfast in 2016. Yeah, it's. Gumball a brand? Is it a? Yeah. What is it? It's a brand. It's like, it's like the most
famous rally. So, you know, the Cannonball movie? No, no, no. Carol song by Damien Rice. Do you know what? No. Can I sing a bit of it? Yeah, go ahead. Stones taught me to fly. Can you go higher, like high pitch? Yeah. Like blonde high. Love taught me to lie. Come on courage, teach me to be shy because it's not hard for try and actually chew myself up a bit and I don't want to lose. It's not hard for and you know that. Sorry, sorry sorry yeah of his fucking comedian shit. Just do you.
Think that was you know what they're. Actually. Actually good like that that was. Actually good. Felt good. I like applause. Come on. I take the piss out of you. 10 people in this room, one person of that. Come on, you know I I take that's the best you've ever signed. Are you serious? Thanks. No. Best I've ever signed. Your stag. Lisbon Mustang Sally in that bar where the people didn't want us to be singing. The family bar that they wanted us out. Yeah, but I don't remember that.
I do have a video of us all singing. Caravan loved by the house Martins. No, it might have been goodbye, my lover. Maybe, maybe, I don't know. Just. From Illuminati I. Remember. Yeah, was. That was the James Morrison. Sorry, so the movie Cannibal. So it's a it's, it's a rally. The concept is a rally, right? And we can't say it's a race, but maybe it is, maybe, who knows, right. And it is the modest, craziest rally. It's very, very exclusive, right?
For me, like with my background, genuinely I never thought it would be possible, but I had. To be invited to be part of it. Yeah, right. Right. And it cost a clean fortune, right? To to take part. I have no idea of the inner workings of it, I've just seen the mad cars and all that kind of thing, but. It is the modest, craziest, best thing I've ever done in my life. It has changed me and changed my life that week. Yeah, it is. Genuinely. It is done. So where did you you're going from?
Where to where? So we our start was in Vietnam in a place called Ho Chi Minh City and the finish was in Singapore and we went through come Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and the Finnish was in Singapore. And genuinely, I have never experienced anything like it. And is it that you do some driving during the day and then is it like party every night? Yes, yes, But it's not a wee bit of driving. It's like proper driving, right? That's brought 8900 kilometres bomb.
Holy shit. Oh yeah. Who's part of your like team? Who? Who do you? Got you in the car. What Car you drive? I was driving. I have a black Ferrari GTS which is a heap of shit. It broke down three times on the rally. Don't know, I would. If you want rid of it, I'll. Take I no problem. No problem, no problem I. It was a car that I. How'd you get a load there? A boat you put on a boat. On the boat, it's mine. Downline is more the. Vietnam. No, it's what was the boat again?
In some wild name or something. So that's all organised by a company called Cars, so see what they do. All right, surely boats would have been better but would be more appropriate. So CCRS here in Northern Ireland, Steven Legend dropped it off in London, right? London car goes on transport. You can either choose aeroplane airfreight, which is really expensive right, or a boat, which is still expensive but not as expensive. They they can put a car on a plane.
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's wild as well. One of the cars that we have here is flying over to America in the next couple of weeks. This. Yeah. But that's. You know what, let me tell you one thing, right. And people are looking like just saying, how much do you think it cost to love this? Yeah. How much do you think it cost to rent a car in America? Like a cool car for two weeks? Why don't we? I got a Mustang for my honeymoon. How much did you pay? Probably $600.00.
I'm like almost. In total might have been less, yeah. But like I mean, say you want about want to do you want? This to be higher? Yeah. Yeah. My answer? Yeah, $3000. Higher. 20 grand. Yeah, 20 grand. All right, fair. Enough. Anyway, my point is not proven. Can I can we guess how much it would cost to get a car from Belfast to Vietnam? Yeah, Vietnam was expensive, relatively expensive. But America is not that expensive. To get a car from I'm. Just trying to see if I know
anybody. No, I'm not asking you to facilitate that. You're the last guy with us. Yeah. Cars.com. I'm going to say, I'm going to say 15 grand. You got to get a car, Vietnam. I'd say more now I'm going to go 25. Is that one way return? Depend on what it is. Return Yeah. Actually eighteen 19,700 points. I'd be like, I'll just keep it here. Oh yeah, that's sweet. I need a car there. But I get one when I'm right there. Yeah. And those boys love bikes. Talk, talk.
Talk to we've we've been we tried to hire a talk talk actually apparently they don't. What was the crack? Where the way can we get a talk Talk. You didn't have the move yet now. Oh, so we've just started. Being in Vietnam, talk talks, yeah. Where were talk talks from then? Thailand or something? India, I'd say. They started in India, I would say. There's some Can we we? All on in London, we're still
drunk, yeah. Thailand too, because there's a very enjoyable Thai restaurant that I like in Bangor and the new nards called Talk Talk Delicious and they are basically based in Thailand, so Talk Talks aren't Thai. Those guys have some questions. Japan. Japan, You know what, to be fair, those guys, they're the first, did everything. They're legends. Yeah, Japanese. Yeah. I like, are Japanese big into the watches? Oh, they love it. Yeah, because those vintage
watches love their whiskey. They're the whiskey #1. They like the finer things of life. I just wanted to make a really bad comment. I'm not doing it. OK, Thank God. So, so talk. So you start in Vietnam. Yeah. And then it's serious driving. But who else is taking part in this? Like, did you know anybody else taking part? Like people like Andre Agassi or one. Person from Northern Ireland that was on one team from other team from Northern Ireland, Hugo Duncan.
No, No. Say Michael Dean would be my guess. I could see him. Can't tell you who it is, was not Michael Dean. Well, they're hardly keeping a low profile taking part in a Gumball 3000. Why can't? Why can't you say who don't say that wanna be. My place. Are they famous from, you know, prime? No. No, no. Maybe. I love that they're like. We think it happened. For like we're driving a McLaren F1 for the Gumball 3000, but I'm just keep my head down. Don't people know I'm doing this? Yeah.
What? What industry are they in? Can't tell you. Tell us the industry or a second. Well could you Google Gumball Northern Irish Rally 20/20/14? Have a look. But like there's I wasn't. So there was one other team from Northern Ireland, right. So there's teams, 120 teams, basically the enemy. And who's in that team? I can't tell you. All I can say is like, it's not a race, but I beat them. OK, so basically I was number one from Northern Ireland. Right.
And there's two of you. It's still #1 like everybody always say, I want something now. I didn't, but it is the modest experience. 120 teams, yeah, 100 met. Like in, in like convoy, Yeah. Yeah, like not just convoy that. So we had a police convoy where basically there's no rules. So Cambodia, no rules. Cambodia is an incredible, incredibly beautiful country, by the way. What was the best night out the whole time? The only one I would have said, I can't remember much from Bangkok.
That's my problem, right? But I didn't go home basically, right. We, we were on this mad island on the coast of Krabi in Thailand. But the first night I couldn't join because it's monsoon season, right? So the boats made it was you couldn't, it was too dangerous, right? So this Russian oligarch, and it's the only thing I can say about it, rented out an entire hotel, just like 5 star hotel rented the whole. Fucking we're not talking an
Ibis right? No, no, no, no. So this entire hotel, so he saw the new. These guys are experienced, right? These guys do these rallies. It's called Team on the Run, right? We. Feel those boys from here too. They're funny, right? But they're very, very, very like, very, super amazing, like night, really incredible people, right?
Just to clarify that, and he's apparently right, whenever we realised I was getting close to Krabi, the last couple last two hours and I saw in the group chat and I saw in the news that we couldn't. The boat was going to be suspended and we were one of the late last ones. We were in trouble we couldn't get across meaning so we couldn't make it to the finish. This guy already figured this shit out hours ago and rented out this entire like mod resort,
5 star resort. The entire resort was rented out and I was like right, I need a bed because I mean like whatever. Basically they invited us. That team had several cars on. One of the cars was just full with champagne. Like I have photos of this. One of the cars was just dedicated on champagne, right? So yeah, we're stranded. Mate. We were there with 6070 bottles of fucking don't bury on me like the wildest thing I've ever seen. And it's breakfast included. Mate, it is.
Like I would love it if he's like there's. 12 I charge. What I'm telling you here is movie shit, but I'm living that there and it like I just like. So everybody gets on with everyone basically. It's like if you're doing the rally. You have this connect because people think gumbo is a luxury holiday, but let me tell you, it's not right. It is actually the opposite. Car for the Can I just say you've just told us a story about a guy who bought. After 12 hour drive.
And feel like, feel like it's all. I think this is fun. After 12 hour drive, right? People enter rail and sleeping on a sleeper train going through Slovakia at the minute. Wait 8 strangers traffic? Yeah. But it is like it is a mad endurance thing as well. When you drive, drive 11-12 hours and let me tell you a sports car or supercar or hypercar, they're not very comfortable, but that's the same. Oh man, I sound like a Dick. Oh, you need. You need because we wooden balls
in the seats you know you sit. On I know, I know. I tried to get drivers. I tried to get some of those when I got my first car. And I stop you getting sweaty. One layer Corsa the the like a Turkish taxi drive like holiday taxi driver beaded seat cover. They are on me. They are the shit. I love those. But like, it's not a lot. Let me it is intense. No sleep. You have a wee party now and then, right? How do you keep yourself awake? Not being made. I have never touched that shit
in my life. I just meant it like that I. Just clarified that I have never touched that shit in my life Right, another shit, but not now. But it's it is wild. Whenever you're driving through months monsoon, the weather is mad crazy. You need to be careful with the roads. You need to be. You're not in a convoy because you with this weather. We weren't in a convoy. Who's in your car? I had a friend of mine in the car. So 2 of yous and you're taking turns. I am a very bad passenger so I
just, I'd done it myself. I let him drive for 100 kilometres and I was like this is more fucking tiring than me driving. Not gumball, but I drove me and William Thompson around Scotland for a couple of regional tour dates and didn't let him touch the aux cord at any point, including including on his birthday. That is. That is rude. Think so? Yeah, I think so. But I'm driving, I like my music and I'll cater for everybody in
the car. I'm not just going to play specifically what I like, you know? Can we tell a story? It was 10 out of 10 in the car. You go with the gig and you're your son had access to the Alexa and he was picking songs for coming at your radio. Over all the songs, you're like, oh, this is not me. He was at home connected you Dell. He was at home, so my phone all of a sudden went on to playing songs. We're also playing at the Alexa at home. I mean be able to drive.
Yeah, but I don't know what the song was, but it kept coming back on. So you're like, oh, that's not me. And then the next one was the same song. It was something really nice, like Katy Perry roar or something, and you're gone. My son grows up maybe like. Taylor Swift like blank spaces. He'll be like, oh, you're doing me dirty here. It's not. My son doesn't. He's at home with the wee eye of the tiger. I think it might have been what is he into?
I think it might have been like stick season by no account or something like that. Oh yeah, I like country music and. Stuff I like stick season. What is a stick season? It's a nice song, but I don't get what that is. What a stick season? Like, no one's had a stick season before. No one's been. Oh fuck shirt sticks. It's autumn. They were sick of me for them putting it off for like half a day or something. But when you're driving 11-12 hours a day, what's you have You
got a playlist going? Yeah, heart style usually. For 11 or 12 hours, Sorry. What was that shit? Dirty hurry no fuck me heart style mate. Fuck. Genuine. Question you want to listen I. Don't like that I very very easy style if you got invited to go. Genuine question, would you do Gumball 3000? Yeah, of course it would. I wouldn't. No, I'd be it. Sounds like way too much. But you know what I would do? I'd be like you, far away and I just sleep, possibly going
along. I'm telling you one thing, right? It's not cheap. Like I said, it's very difficult. But hold on, sorry, but you're talking to guy buys. I can be, I can, I can be open about that, but I want to. How many M&S groups? Be very clear about, like, for me, this is a childhood dream coming true. I never thought I would ever be in a position like that. I would never thought that I would be able to afford a car of
that magnitude. And next to that for me, there's a big business transaction as well, right? If I was in a different position, I, I could never have done that, right? If I didn't have the business or the business reasoning behind it, I couldn't have done that, right? The entry fee is $100,000, right? For a week, the total week would cost you an average of $150,000. That's. Diesel as well. That's diesel as well and
insurance and transport. It is mad expensive, right, But it actually, for our business has done wonders. The network you get in because you go through the same experience. You are now in that network. Yeah. Yeah. And whenever you don't want to do business, whenever you get that business as a gumball or because you have this bond we've done, we shared this together. You see what I mean? Yeah. Give you an idea, right? Patricia France coming here on Monday, right?
He was, he was, he was with me on the gumball, right? He wasn't with me. He wasn't the gumball. I know Patrice Evra for two years prior to that, but we didn't have like we met each other going out one or two evenings of of of drinks, whatever, right? But that week we actually got very close. Now he's helping me with something here back home, right. So that network is so important that $100,000 may we've we've sold several watches to people on the gumball.
I'll have that. I'll have that earned back in 2-3 months. That's not the point, right? And that was also not the main motivation. That isn't definitely not the main motivation, but it allowed me to justify me doing that. And you know what? From when I was a kid, right, or when I was a teenager from from the time of Jackass to everything I've seen everything,
I followed it every year. I've been quite close to it and I never got the invite and to getting the invite this year and the most important one, which is the 25th anniversary to being in 2016 here when they were going when they were in the Titanic quarters, to being on the start line in Vietnam and my car fucking didn't want to start. It was a mad experience to the finish line where my car broke down about 5 metres away from the finish line it was. Oh so did you have to do the
cool runnings and just push? Yeah, I so clap. Breaks it. It was wild. He actually, Gareth actually jumped out of the car to film that and he fucking someone drove over his foot. It was the wow made the madness. I can you wouldn't believe it. It doesn't make any sense if I tell you, you wouldn't believe it, but it is. It has changed me, my life and an outlook on many things and my and of course the network that comes on the back of that. Can you just do like a chill day? Genuine question.
Like would you find it difficult to go to a coffee shop, have a coffee, maybe go for a walk? Like would you find it difficult to just have like a day of complete like relaxation and switch off? Yeah, I find it very difficult. I find it extremely difficult and I'm trying to deal with that. I'm actually, funnily enough, I'll be very open about this. I'll try to, I've tried to find help because I'm a father of two kids, mate.
Like I miss my kids so much when I'm away, but I'm constantly trying to figure out a way where I don't, I can switch off when I'm with the kids, right? Back in the day, it wasn't a problem because that didn't really interfere. It didn't really affect me too much. But with two kids, mate, that that should affection, you know, And for me, really, I'm trying to figure out that balance. But I've lived an incredible and I'm living an incredible life,
right, dream above dream. Like I said back in the day, May I lived in Bainbridge. I couldn't afford my rent. I had a girlfriend that paid my fucking rent, right And that I swear to God, right to where am I mate? I am just so incredibly grateful. I will never fucking complain, but finding that balance is just nearly for me, nearly impossible, like I'm on a journey to discover how to fix that. You see and how to like. I don't know.
It hasn't hasn't got anything to do with ADHDI don't know, hasn't got to do anything. But I am just every time in that rush. But what I would really like and is, is having a moment like that, right. And and you know what I always said if I I was just after the gumbo, because I was made the gumbo, like I said, it was the best experience of my life. I took a week off after the gumbo and spent a flu. The family offered to Dubai and we had some time with the family.
I couldn't relax. I was able to catch up with sleep, but I couldn't mentally relax. And that really, really worries me. And I really need to figure out and I need to figure that stuff out very. Soon, that's a balance for obviously when you're doing as much trouble as you do, but anyone who's like self-employed or or anything like like when you are your business, it's so difficult.
Like when we travel for shows, like when I was talking about being in Scotland for like two or three days, it's it's so difficult and I'm and I'm an hour away. You know, I tell you what, if you're we all, we all have two kids. If you're ever like travelling and missing home, if if ever Luke Combs front door famous comes on shuffle on a Spotify playlist, skip on fuck me, that
song will end you. It's created, but that balance is it. Back into there, I thought it was Elvis Presley with my boy and then I realised he didn't have some fucking liar. And I you know what? You know what the craziest thing on the way here, I promise you, I put on a Spotify playlist of Elvis on the way to the studio today. And this morning was the first
time I ever heard that song. Yeah, my mentals that doesn't even a well known song, but the song because I thought when I listened to it, I went there's going to be emotional song, but a father and son, it's him being like, listen me and your mare done. Yeah, exactly. Fuck yourself. He never had a song. So that's a lie. And I feel like I've been lied to for the majority of my life. Yeah. Like that was does heartbreak break breaking like. Me and they were me and they were emotional guys.
We still like to go after yeah. I like to cry. It's good to cry. I do, I do, I do. There's no integration for better help here. Like, I mean, it's just landscape, this thing. That makes that helps your mental health but as well. We shave. Yeah, maybe, but Harry done that. We bit groggy. We shave. You said that people have genuine mental health problems a lot more 5.2 it maybe without wireless charging technology. Maybe maybe what it needs. Definitely no. That's good to hear you saying
that you. That you were aware of it. Yeah, you know what I mean. And you want to try to do something about it. Yeah, because I don't want to be. I don't want to. I don't want to be disconnected from my children mate. I have everything I do today. As soon as I became a father and for you to say maybe the same. The first 7-8 months I didn't feel like this is normal, right? What the hell is going on all of
a sudden? Like I need to love this unknown person that all of a sudden joined my life. This is my child, right? And I felt like really weird because I was like, I couldn't really fully like because it was it was wild. I can't describe this right. Today it's completely different. He's turning 2 in a couple two weeks 3. I fucking miss my kids. I love my kids, but I had it took me a good couple of months to grow in or good maybe even a year to grow into that.
And that actually made me think think, is it me? Am IA problem? Do I have some emotional disconnect? Am I just what is going on here? You see what I mean? And that was quite difficult, to be honest, but I've got over that. But everything I do today is for the next generation. And I'm not even joking. That's in my car actually as well. My son's name is in the car for the next generation. I never thought that I would be able to afford a expensive car, mate, that wouldn't even be in
the in the wish list, right? Yeah. But was that's how far away it was. So I wanted to be very clear for myself and like I'm trying to create memories with that exact car with my son on because I would love to have if I was him and I would be 37, like I am lie. I would have loved to have memories like that from my father. Unfortunately, I don't and I'm like, I want to create that for him. That's why I chose that car And
that's what long story. I'm not going to go mad deep into that, but I I changed as a as a person with kids do that. Oh, and in. Your defence though, whenever the kids are, they're a bit Wick when they're just born, I mean, they don't talk, they'll do anything. You're kind of what are you going to do any way till they talk about and then you're like, they're great. I need to love it but it's keeping me fucking awake. What the hell is this? And why are you so small, making
so much noise? That's impressive. Just wise up mate. Like yeah, it is, it is. Listen, but but that is balancing. I have worked seven days a week for nine years straight, right, given everything, right, same as yourself, right, very difficult fucking being on stage and like hoping that people like what you're doing and then trying to hustle, trying to work and work harder and then doing a big, big breakthrough. And then in Austin, like that is fucking classmate.
Like I had. I have my own journey and but I also have a family, right. So these are two different, different perspectives. And This is why what we talked about earlier just before the podcast. That's why it affects me so much if something like that ends up in the news because it's home. I don't care if it's if it's if it's an America or in any other when stuff happens at home, This is my house. I'm bringing my kids to nursery.
There's people that see me. You see, people know who I am and that's why I want to keep that stuff away from from home. Angus good that like the says like that you, you, you recognise like you need to switch off and all that kind of thing because it's because you feel like if you're, if you're relaxed, you feel like you're not providing or you feel like you're not on it or you're. But then, and I support like having stuff to pass on is obviously like we, we all want
to do that. But I I think like when you're passing on like you're giving, passing on your time like, there's nothing better than like. That that is the thing and I think as well, like whenever you I, I find what helps me is again, because I'm only recently a full time comedian. So I was like, I need to be working all the time and I was losing a bit of time with the kids and my mind was never switched off. Now things are a bit more settled.
I would go right, I'm taking day off today and it's just them, you know what I mean? And what'll be work wise. I get it tomorrow and that's nice. Like I did that last Friday. It was great. You know, I was just able to pick them up from school, go to the park. And all day. Three years. So like, it's just that be not. But you know, you have to make the time. And again, it's hard to switch off.
And I think maybe like, I think as a parent and as a partner to my wife too, like we get that guilt where if you're going out doing work, it's almost like, oh, and hurry back that, you know, take a burden off there and vice versa. Whereas I'd say to her, we we need to work on not being as guilty. I believe in them.
Yeah, it's fine, you know, and. I think, I think you can, you can give them so much like in terms of inheritance and all this kind of thing, but they they will appreciate more than any anything material material. They'll appreciate time more all. Right. Absolutely. There's two things, right? Like you said, my wife made she's a fucking rock star and she has to deal with all this, right? We wouldn't do our stuff for them.
Exactly, guilt feeling guilty, feeling guilty that she's alone with the kids again, she has a support system around her, but that is that is hard one to deal with, right? The other bit is and I started worrying about that. How old are your kids? They're six and four. Right, you're exactly in that age. I might know 1 and 2 how old and two, four and two like similar. So I was one of my business partners listening Glen Eagles
in Scotland, right? And we were talking about kids TV shows right back in the day, right? So have you ever seen California occasion that's not a kids TV show? But have you ever seen where the first, the pilot, the first episode of the seven long season, the first episodes, the 1st 5 minutes he walks into church, gets a blowjob from a nom, then fucks a 16 year old, which he's not aware of, right? But like, I mean, that's the pilot of this show, right? And this show today?
On CBeebies. Get to the point, but this like today, this TV show would not be allowed. Yeah, it's absolutely one of the best TV shows and it's shake my teenage years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He had a sex addiction after the show. He actually did. But now comes the thing we started. Then talking with my with my friend. It's like how I watch it as well. Then we got back to children's TV shows. Right. I'd love to know that segue. Like cow and chicken, right? Yeah. If you put that on TV today for
kids, it's all. It's not like it won't be a light, but I'm like today, today you have the Coco melon where they brainwash fucking kids. I don't know what my melon bullshit, man. It's like, what? What am I going to guy? Yeah, fuck that bastard. With this curl. Baby John. Apparently kids watching Coco melons. Give them give them like speech, like delays and stuff. Like talk American and all your dad and the dad and Coco melons
a cock as well. But my point is right, I don't know what I what I can have my my kids watch. He's 2, he's 2 years old right? He loves TV watches Fucking now your. Patrol, I'm still talking about that from Coco Melon you mentioned on, I said. Yeah, fucking fucking climb a tree, right? Yeah, jump out of it. Yeah, little bitch. Oh, the dad. Exactly. But my kid watch, I only allow him to watch a wee bit of TV on a Sunday. Californication. Best TV show I'll. Tell you what's 10 out of 10
blue? Yeah. Blue. Have you ever seen blue? Brilliant. Don't blow your mind, yeah? Blue is a girl I know and so it's Bingo. Her little sister Bluey is made in Australia and you could actually watch it. It's it's funny, it's brilliant. Have you have you watched California Occasion? No. But are you not going to let my six and four year old watch that? No, no, you shouldn't, Uncle Nico. Said it's OK. I just wanted to what?
I just wanted to prove a point that TV shows nowadays, in fact, when we grew up, it was we were way more lenient, right? And I don't think that this is good that. Even Jackass you can Really Jackass couldn't start now. No, you know, exactly, exactly, but it has like our I think our generation is going to be stronger with less problems than the next generation, and that's I am really cautious about what
I'm going to have. I don't want my kids to watch any woke bullshit on fucking TV's Coco melon the fucking bulls. I don't. I wanted to grow up like proper people, like like you. See what I mean? Get. Sucked off in church? This is it. I mean, when he's teenager, yes, joking. No, I'm not. But you see what? Yeah, Entourage, another example right at. The time. Like you can't put that on TV anymore because we're all becoming so woke protective. Oh fuck off. Just find the our generation are
the best. It's the best generation. We're good people and we watch that shit and that that made us good. Is this your wife saying you want more blowjobs on TV? Save #1 kids TV programme right now. Kids TV programme. I'm going blue. Guys have chicken bobbies world mate Montana mice. Or was the mice Montana Jones? Yeah, blue, blue, blue is good. Like, but I don't like Holly watches like that. Like, you know, cheerleading, dance shows and all night. Mr Tumbles a boy or like.
Oh no. Dumber. Did you ever watch? That yes. What's the they were there. I like blip it, don't like him blip it. Doesn't you're going to put your FaceTime blipy Sometimes you'll do you mention anyone that goes out of FaceTime Matilda FaceTime blip. If you face down the down from local melon, I'll get on with them. Right now and Matilda watches a show called The Tales Grimm, which is deaf, and it's like, it's like. About the it's. Brilliant. It's it's on, it's on Netflix.
But it was like, I was watching their dance, like, and habits like Hansel and Gretel. And she couldn't through the door, so she had to cut her finger off and use it as a key. And I was like, I don't know if you should be watching this. He was like, but I like it. And I was like, Oh yeah, I'm. Just trying to find old school Nickelodeon TV shows. We were talking rock rats. Rock rats. Yeah, for sure. Hey, Arnold. A football head like I was in our thing and I used to be.
Yeah, yeah, People said I had a head like Hey Arnold and gave me PTSD. It's fine, you know it's fine. It creates man. You know it creates fucking. We've been oh, I went into a shell for. Then I do think like. Did you end up all right? Yes, he did. Like the whole. Sticks thank God I have stand up put it that way that's. Got to be a thing again. Right, do like some terrible castle. As told by Ginger, I mean. What's that? Dog I remember him Iran and
stimpy dog was a guy like. As told by Ginger, which is about a fucking ginger girl, right? Sister. Sister. I don't know. Oh. What was Doug's make called? Skater. Skater. Interest for trust for a child and there's no. Skaters these days, I wonder. But Rocko modern like I mean but like see by the bell thing is just so fucking screech. Woke sex tape needed. Stuff. Huh. Screech. Didn't he do poo stuff? Probably like him. Does I remember?
Somebody agree? I mean, I think generally speaking, where everybody needs to be a bit like offence needs to be something that happens in life. People can't be offended. You should be your. Choice to be offended. Yeah, but then you should also be like, if someone says something to you and not be like, you can't say that. Be like, I need to deal with that better. No. If you want to say that, you know, I'm not sticks and stones, words will never hurt me, you know?
But people are very hurt by words, No? Do you not agree? Yeah, I think nowadays you look at even like comedies were made in say like the well Ferrell era, like when they were making and John Apto, they were making all those just fucking brilliant comedies. They can't be me it anymore. I don't watch a lot of new stuff that comes out. I genuinely believe that the reason why I'm successful or I got my success on YouTube is because I was a wee bit a wee bit.
More I had a wee bit more balls and told a wee bit more the truth. It was a wee bit because I wasn't as fucking local. Standard, yeah. But bastards, you see. But that's, I feel, the only reason why I made a wee bit of a. But what I, what I see, like, see, like you'd watch a lot of things and you'd almost be rolling your eyes. But I know why that's and I know why they're saying that.
I don't know. And it's like they're doing that for a reason to appeal to or like to bend the knee to being Walker. Baldy stuffs illegal, isn't? It yeah. Sex crimes brother exactly said this if anybody. Will BBC article. Makes fun of me being bald. That's considered to be sexual abuse now. You can go to the Turkey for that both but. No, listen, I you've just not sold me, but I am. I just, I'm happy to be bald. I look, I feel feel look better suitable here.
But people call me bald, call me balding. Like I have a motor motorcycle gang member. That's when I yeah, I feel we've been intimidated. They're not a bang. Bang. Yeah, I feel good. Where's your where's your jacket that says like? Next door hanging up. But no, I like leather. Yeah, wasn't really what we were talking about. I'm a Dali. You've done the coolest thing ever, which is sponsored football team. I love that your name is going to. They're calling the grind.

Not love that one. I can do that temporarily. Make it temporarily sound for. The Pride and Pinion Stadium. Prides I was really park. Prime Pinion Park. Yeah, Yeah, yeah. I thought about that as well.

And I fucking love the people, right? The volunteers, everyone there at the crimes. I love them. The bits it gives me. I I really enjoy going there, right. I take my wee man. That's my thing that I do do with the wee man. I take him with me and it, it is just, it puts me back on earth.

Nobody. It's just yeah, whatever. Like you're, I just love that. I love the people involved there. And, and we're in further talks. I've I've showed interest in the club before with some other stuff. I just really what like it feels like, feels like home.
I feel really, yeah. I just feel really at home there. There's a gig. Have you done that Reading Rooms gig yet? We've talked about it. There's a venue in Larne. Called the and it was cancelled. Remember. And it's like we were doing a charity gig there, an action concert gig and they went like few 100 holds a few 100. They were like the venue, like, you know what, it hasn't been done up in a while. And this it's one of the best venues in the country. I've done it twice and I did a
tour show there. So like I I so I used to do a character who would slit Lauren and everybody. Why did but actually like with that venue and the fact? That we were doing some pissed off with you about that. I think in a tweet like years ago. It's like out of best thing about Lauren is the road out of it. And I'm like, I was like, fuck Shane Todd, fuck him like you were you were saying. Something people shouldn't get offended to reason. I know that was listen, that was my woke period.
Sorry I. Thought it sounded like a tweet I would have put up to be. Like fucking raging. What is it about Lauren that is the Lauren is a go to like Punchline? Do you know what? But actually when you go, when you go to, it's actually like 100%. Can you imagine this right? You have these coastal towns in fucking Spain where houses cost clean fortunes, you can fucking build them paradise there like
no no no, you can build like. Can you imagine every like hospitality and late meet have learned, become a destination not like Newcastle but proper luxury? You could actually create that alarm. It's. But I just everyday looking at that sea border, I'd be. Shut up. Yeah. Boys, thank you very much for for coming on. I really appreciate it, baby. You've got anything you want to plug or promote? Any shows? Big shooter. Yes, I am doing. Highland Springs Water.
I Dave tell people. Dave takes the label of every water he gets. Water, water. Suppliers, if you want to sponsor me and be my official water holler at me. Otherwise he. Loves Highland Springs, that's why I took the label off. But he finished the bottle anyway. You know, I like to be hydrated like you say you want about me. Exactly. It's good hydrated, you told. Me. This was the best water you've ever had. It's it's tasty water. It's tasty. So now you did plug it, you took
the label off. Yeah, that's me. That's what I did. 20th of December. We're doing a big gig. Warren Point, Yuri Feel a lot last night. Town Hall. Yeah, come on. It's. Brilliant venue. Who's on? Yeah. Me, Darren, maybe another female act who had name starts a day. I don't know, but maybe it's not confirmed yet, but so. I had to speak in front of 150 people in Cambodia. It was the scariest thing I've ever done. How the fuck do you do that? What would you have to say to them?
So that's that's a fun experience that. Can you all get off the road to me and the boys and roll through? I fuck me, that was scary. And what were you just like? I had to present at auction lot which was the watch that in Bangkok. Oh no, nearly got so that's that's why people are following you to Bangkok. Then if you're just I've got this watch by the way, cheers. They're coming for you. That was well, but I've fucking how many people are going to be
in one point? It'll be probably 300, yeah. It'll be big and two venue, yeah. You don't need to plug pride and pinion. Pride opinion if you want to buy or sell your watch, I'll see you there. Yeah, Merchant Hotel. Do you buy any watches? I buy any watches. Do you mind people who just come and have a look? Of course I want that. Of course, as long as we share, we are able to share our passion. It's not for it's not about transactions.
Like it's not. Of course you need to do business, but selling an expensive watch needs to like you. Let's buy a fucking 1000 LB watch today. It doesn't work like that. If you had a big yeah, do you have any, like, renowned teasers? And they come in, they tease, you'd be like, I think I want one. Then they go and you're like a bastard. What I do hate is from the fucking bullshitters. Like if you're a bullshitter, come to me, act like, oh, of
this and this. I'm going to buy this and come back to you. And it's like, don't fucking come, just go fuck off like the. Dad and Coco mail like he. Would do that. Like I hate that bullshit, right? And then blank you or. Would who would be one of your like, would David Duchovny be up there for somebody you'd like to get a watch to?
Yes, yeah. Final question, you've so many people have when they come over or you go to them, look home, as I mentioned earlier, you spend the day with him, you're doing some business. Who's the number one guy that will come over here that you would just take out for the day? Maybe show some watches to? I am, I think it would be Denzel Washington and I think we can actually make that happen at some point. We have a wee bit of a good connection. But Denzel Washington is for me,
together with Al Pacino, we're my fate. 2 favourite actors, right? Fair. Like I've seen every Al Pacino movie, right, Denzel Washington, what AG the guy is right, That will be for me depend back. I'm not very much very quickly starstruck, but that made the way he talks is just like. Yeah. Wow. Here's we've been trivia. Do you know what Al Pacino, who Al Pacino has in his phone cover? Yes. Yeah. Do you know Shrek?
I find that pretty weird. Al Pacino got Shrek on his phone, loves him and he's like B wouldn't think Al Pacino with this in this phone right now. Did you not do a voice over or no? Do you know Al Pacino's dad invented a really famous drink? You know Al Pacino's dad? First name's Cap. Thank you.
