2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: this man.

00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:13,760

00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,040

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,759

Speaker 3: The issue with gen Z, we were like absolutely gen

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 3: Z young producer in her twenties. The issue is that

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 3: she doesn't really know any of James Blund's music. She's

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 3: too young.

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: She made us.

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 4: Feel exactly, I didn't even know who James Blunt was.

17
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,880

Speaker 2: at me and thought I'm out of here.

35
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,559

00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,080

44
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: the drammer is alive, and we're in. And so we

45
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: came from Sydney last night, which was an amazing concert

46
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: and an amazing audience, and I think the band went

47
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: to Better three like gen Z, Yes, exactly. And you

48
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,440

00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 5: That's true. Where about in Spain?

51
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: I live in Nibithai.

52
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've always wanted to go that. I've been trying

53
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 5: to plan, like my brat euro Summer there, right, and

54
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 5: I was thinking of China go next year?

55
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: You must, it's really epic.

56
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 5: What is it like? Tell me about it?

57
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I moved there because I really don't

58
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: like my style of music. I like dance music.

59
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's so unexpected.

60
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. I mean who would like mine? So and

61
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 2: and well, in fact, my on my second album, there's

62
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: a song called nineteen seventy three and it's about the

63
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 2: most famous nightclub, which the very first night club in

64
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: a Beitha called Pasha, which opened in that same year.

65
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 5: So it's not about partying and idea.

66
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. And then and then remarkably that the DJ

67
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: Pete Tong remixed it and played it in Pasha the

68
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: nightclub when he had our residency there, so the song

69
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: did full circle. So and yeah, our club sort of

70
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: opened at one, but you wouldn't go there before two am. Yeah,

71
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: and they close at you know, seven am, seven thirty

72
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 2: eight am even and you know it's kind of full

73
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: on and really fun and you must go.

74
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, I feel like I could out

75
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 5: party you. I think gen Z's got a good chance here.

76
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 2: I mean, I have a nightclub at the end of

77
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: my garden of what Yeah, I must go. So I

78
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: don't know if you could, because I do all day.

79
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 5: Okay, I could do all day and all night as well.

80
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 5: I think maybe we should collapse.

81
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: I think, okay, you should stop competing.

82
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, we sho. Yeah, have you ever had a wet

83
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: pussy shot?

84
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: I'm sure I probably haven't. If I haven't, I'm definitely

85
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: open to it.

86
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 5: It is one of my favorites.

87
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: Do that.

88
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 5: Now, we should do one?

89
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: What is it?

90
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 5: Guys? Can we can we get some wet pussies in here? Please? Amazing?

91
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 5: We'll We'll slap back a few.

92
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: I mean, there's so many comments from I can make

93
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: it the stage, so many really crass comments. But great, Yeah,

94
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: let's we should move on.

95
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 5: We should move on from that anyway. So I have

96
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 5: a feeling I can guess your set list tonight? Can

97
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 5: I can I give you my run through? That's what

98
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 5: I think it's going to be.

99
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: It's going to be your beautiful twenty times, that's what

100
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: you're guessing at, and a little bit of sand Man

101
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: thrown in.

102
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 5: I don't even know what that is, Yeah it's but it's.

103
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: A totally guitar bassed rock band.

104
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 5: Welle that I'll keep that in mind for next time.

105
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 5: So I think you're going to start off with the

106
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 5: song you wrote about.

107
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: Me, You're Beautiful absolutely yep.

108
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 5: And then you're probably going to go into sand Man

109
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 5: as your second song.

110
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, just to get ap.

111
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 5: And then I think you're got to close with Goodbye

112
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 5: My Lover. So I want to say it's going to

113
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 5: be about twelve minutes long. So that's quite a short concept.

114
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 5: We love a time sensitive King Sleigh pop off.

115
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: You know. I think I like to keep my setlist,

116
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: like myself, short and sweet. We love a good time, yeah,

117
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: and that means we can just move straight to the

118
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: arter party with a wet foota show. Yes exactly. If

119
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: I could just do three songs, I really I promise

120
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: you our words that would be you know, that's that

121
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: would be enough for me. Yeah.

122
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 5: No, we're very excited. What what inspired you for the

123
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 5: new album? Who We Used to be?

124
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: Really good question. I've got some kind of blurb I

125
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: could like say, which I repeat over and over. Yeah,

126
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: I'll let me try for it. Who we used to

127
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: be is my new autog and it's a reflection on

128
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: who the hell I was and where the hell I

129
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: am now. I don't know. I mean, I write songs

130
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: about real life and what's going on in my life

131
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 2: at that at this particular stage. I'm a married man now,

132
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: and so my muse is not the girl on the

133
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: subway who I passed for one second in time, but

134
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 2: my wife instead, And so I write, I can't just

135
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 2: say you're beautiful to her, because she's not going to

136
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 2: fall for that. And you've said that exactly many many times.

137
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: So I have to write deeper, rich songs saying all

138
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: the love that I ever needed, I got it from you.

139
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: I uh, you know, we've been on a journey. I'm

140
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: aspiring to start a family, and we've had successes, and

141
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 2: you have failures like anyone else along the way. So

142
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: I write poignant songs about that kind of journey. I

143
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: have friends who struggle with a dick and h and depression,

144
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: and so I write songs like saving a life for them,

145
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: and you know, and I write songs for my kids,

146
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: because because rather than being worried about myself, you know,

147
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: which I used to write songs for myself. Now I

148
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: now I'm the least important person in my equation and

149
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: I have to think about others. And I suppose there's

150
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: another touching song on this album for Carrie Fisher, who

151
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 2: was Princess Laire from Star Wars.

152
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 5: Uh think I was about two when that came out.

153
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, but still around and I was lucky enough

154
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: to live with her, and so it took me a

155
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 2: few years since she died to write that song for her.

156
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: But I've kind of I feel I've nailed that and

157
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: that's on this album too.

158
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, So how long, like does a process take? Like?

159
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 5: How long was the album from such?

160
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: I think it was probably about a year of writing

161
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: and then getting to a studio after just to put

162
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: it all together.

163
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 5: Have you heard of chat GPT?

164
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: I have? And so what I do occasionally, you know,

165
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: and I'm writing a song is I'll say the chat

166
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: Gupta and I'm struggling with this second verse. So here's

167
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 2: the first verse, write the second verse in the style

168
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 2: of Sames Blunt, and then I and it just is

169
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 2: a total humiliation because of what it does is it

170
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: points out how really crap my lyrics by just you know,

171
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: everything sky and High and Goodbye, and it's just like, wow,

172
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: I really am really basic.

173
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was like, we'll just do the whole album

174
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 5: like that.

175
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: It'd ben. I think it teaches me that I need

176
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: to aspire not to be James Blunt. Justin Bieber.

177
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, have you got like a favorite artist

178
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 5: or like, who's like your dream person you'd like to

179
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 5: collab with.

180
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,679
Speaker 2: I think The Weekend is just an epic musician and

181
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,119
Speaker 2: uh and and bizarrely that we write in obviously different

182
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: style of music, lots of the lot of lyrical content

183
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: is something I really relate to.

184
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, awesome. Yeah, I watched The Weekend when he was

185
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 5: here and it was unreal. Is your constantly going to

186
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 5: be the same vibe?

187
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: I think probably, you know, probably more rocking. There'll be

188
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: some crowdsurfing, yeah, and you know, and a few fights

189
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: in the audience, and you know, the mosh pit's quite

190
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: a messy, messy place in my gig.

191
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I might. You might see me up there all right.

192
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 5: Do you have any like pre show superstitions or anything

193
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 5: like that?

194
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: I Uh, you know what I do. I have a

195
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: pre show ritual. I always checked my flies or my

196
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: trousers are done. It seems just a sensible thing to do.

197
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I love that. So you're obviously huge back

198
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 5: like forty years ago.

199
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: Just marginally fuck you.

200
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 5: I'll take that. That's giving iconic. Yeah. So do you

201
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 5: still get nervous like performing in front of sold out crowds?

202
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: I'm do you know, I'm super chilled?

203
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 5: Actually, yeah, yeah, I feel like you're very You've got

204
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 5: a very chill aura.

205
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I guess you know, if we've been

206
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: on the road since February and we chuck out quite

207
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: a few concerts. You know, on a full touring year,

208
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: I can do two hundred and sixty concerts in a year. Wow.

209
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: And so by the end, if the voice is struggling

210
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 2: a little bit, then you know, maybe I'll be a

211
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 2: little a little twitchy. But otherwise, you know, as far

212
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 2: as you know that an audience and performing, no, I'm

213
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: with super chilled. I've got that. I've got an amazing

214
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: band as well, and so you know, I'm just this short,

215
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 2: squeaky voice guy in the middle.

216
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 5: We love a short king, thank you.

217
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 2: And but they're these kind of you know, there are

218
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: the rock stars I always wanted to be. So it's

219
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 2: kind of rock concert and they carry me. I can,

220
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: I can make mistakes and they'll carry me through.

221
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 5: Because we saw some just back outside, but I think

222
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 5: they're heading off to a pub. So I'm sad that

223
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 5: you couldn't go with them or either could we? But

224
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 5: what about like, yeah, I think it was the bandy

225
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 5: I'm kidding.

226
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: So the well amazing thing about my my band is

227
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: that three of three of them have married girls from

228
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: the audience.

229
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 5: Really, Yeah, that's lit, that'sn't it. That's a slight.

230
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: I love that. That's amazing. Two of them are Australian.

231
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 5: Really do you love Australia? Like do you? Well?

232
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 2: The two of them girls in Perth, so one of

233
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: my so I lost I lost two of my band

234
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: to Australian girls. One now lives in Perth, he works

235
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 2: down in Mine so that that serves him right, and

236
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 2: and the other one lives in Sydney with his with

237
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: his with his girlfriend his wife on Perth. So yeah,

238
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: it's been you know, we've been looked after.

239
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, have you got like a favorite spot in Australia

240
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 5: that you always go to when you come back.

241
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: Well, do you know I lived in Sydney for six months.

242
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: I lived on BONDI Classic, Yeah, in Michael Clark's bachelor pad.

243
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh.

244
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: And I did the Bond Eye to Bronze walk every day.

245
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: And it's just really really a standing you beautiful place.

246
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: But you know, Australia generally you have a very lovely

247
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: way of life.

248
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 5: I feel like it's well, especially in the summer, it's

249
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 5: not as cold as the UK, which I'm sure you'd prefer.

250
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what a bit of global warming

251
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 2: and we'll be sorted on.

252
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 5: That that's true. Yeah. Well, if you're wanting to head

253
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 5: out tonight, I could probably hook you up to go

254
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 5: out somewhere.

255
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: So sweet of you. But you know what, We've got

256
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: a ton of bars already lined up.

257
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 5: I can get you on the guest you can come.

258
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 5: Gen Z will get you in. I can get you

259
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 5: on the guest list. Okay, and I think we should

260
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 5: go to Electric Great slap back.

261
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: Some you're definitely old enough to get in.

262
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a lot older than I. Look, let's just

263
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 5: say that.

264
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: Well, one day that will be a bad but right.

265
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 5: Now, pop off let's go. Have you ever done a

266
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 5: boiler room?

267
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 2: I mean I've done the whole bloody room.

268
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, but have you do you know what the boiler

269
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 5: room is?

270
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean sort of. Well, first you do a

271
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: boiler run, okay, and then you and then you do

272
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 2: the boiler room.

273
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 5: Are you talking about a sauna?

274
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 2: No, I'm talking about something else. But you're going to

275
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: show me. Maybe it's a difference in language.

276
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 5: So we're basically at a boiler room right now. I

277
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 5: think you should put these on. Great please, Okay, so

278
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 5: I've recently just been to the recent boiler room.

279
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: Have these safety glasses?

280
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 5: These are speedies like you just speed through the audience basically,

281
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 5: But I think you should try and get on the

282
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 5: list and do a little set. But you have to

283
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 5: wear these a small club, is it? Oh, it's it

284
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 5: goes off. I can't explain what it is you have

285
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 5: to be there, but you can only do it with

286
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 5: speedies on. Okay, I think you leave it up to

287
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 5: your imagination.

288
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm wearing my speed like. I think I've got

289
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 2: some parrots smugglers on you.

290
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 5: Well that's well, I mean that helps, but just think

291
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 5: of like Fredigan and like scrillax love the collab of

292
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 5: James Blunt. I think we could really get something going here.

293
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm not sure if they would be game, but

294
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: we can put it to them.

295
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 5: I think we should. And another reason why I think

296
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 5: you might be in Australia is, so are you the

297
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 5: surprise guest at BTV this year?

298
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: How did you know?

299
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 5: Because you're wearing speedies and we're so excited.

300
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: Don't tell anyone, it's just between us.

301
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 5: Can you get me backstage?

302
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: No? Okay, sorry, that's okay. Another if I can keep

303
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 2: the glasses then yes, okay.

304
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 5: Let's go great slight. Okay, another question for you? How

305
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 5: did you get to Australia from UK?

306
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well the way you do it? Do you have

307
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: a passport?

308
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 5: I do, but I'm thinking of like a plane?

309
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: Great, which, so while you do that, and it probably

310
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 2: has to stop somewhere like hongcour k bio.

311
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 5: So do you have a private jet? A couple a few?

312
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

313
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 5: Can gen Z have a private jet and flat first class?

314
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: You're going to have to work for it. That's the thing,

Speaker 2: I may not have heard of any of these people

390
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: as it comes up. But let's see what happens exactly.

391
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 5: What we need. Okay. So I'm gonna name three and

392
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 5: then I want you to put an order from slaps

393
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 5: to canceled. So we've got Sabrina Carpenter slaps, Chapel Rone,

394
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 5: and Charlie XCX slaps.

395
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely we're on the same label.

396
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 5: Charlie XCX, oh my god, pop off totally. Can you

Speaker 5: all right.

399
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: All right, so she just do you know what? She

400
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 2: just beat me in the charts. Really, and if she

401
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 2: hadn't beat me to the charts, I would have changed

402
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: my name. I said I was going to change my

403
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: name to whatever the British public chose if I got

404
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 2: to number one in the charts. And she beat me

405
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: to number one, so I didn't have to change my

406
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 2: name and the British public could chosen blunt blunt face.

407
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 2: So I'm quite relieved. But I came second. That's because

408
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: I don't.

409
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,640

410
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 5: take you for number two.

411
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:24,360
