You look 8 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: like you're in a cottage today. Every time we interview, 9 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,759 Speaker 1: I always go where are you? And sometimes it's in 10 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: New York, and sometimes it's in Ireland, and sometimes it's 11 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: in London. I've not seen the background. 12 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: This. This will be excited to know. 13 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 3: It's the back bedroom of my house in Ireland. We're 14 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 3: just finishing up the summer here and actually, weirdly, it's 15 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 3: a gorgeous stay here. 16 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 2: The sun has been shining all day. I've just had 17 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 2: a swim. 18 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: It's beautiful, fantastic. Have you done the Village Quiz or 19 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: attended the Literary Festival. 20 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 2: I've attended the Literary Festival. I took a year off. 21 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 3: I didn't take I was given a year off from 22 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 3: the quiz. I think they're trying to rebuild demand, so 23 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,959 Speaker 3: they rested it for a year. So I was very 24 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 3: happy to take a year off. 25 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: I was very I was reading something about you. Somebody 26 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: asked what's it like to be famous? And I thought 27 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: your answer was brilliant, and that was it's like being 28 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: where you are now. So in other words, in small 29 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: town Ireland, everybody knows everybody. 30 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: It is. 31 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 3: It's like because somebody asked me in when I was 32 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 3: at the little town here, Bantry, and I was giving 33 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 3: a talk and somebody asked me, what's the like being famous? 34 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: Such d of sweet, innocent question, and there should be 35 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 3: an answer to it, but of course. 36 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: What is the answer to what it's like being famous? 37 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 3: And then it suddenly struck me it's like Bantry, where 38 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 3: you know, you try to avoid people in the supermarket 39 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: and everyone knows your business. So it's just like that. 40 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 3: I think that's kind of why I like it back 41 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 3: here in West Cork, because yes, everyone knows me, but 42 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 3: I know a lot of them, so it has a 43 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 3: kind of a logic to it. Whereas if you walking 44 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 3: down Oxford Street in London and people know who you are, 45 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 3: that's just nuts, that's just weird. 46 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: Is is it a nice place to be where you 47 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: can be yourself and relax. 48 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 49 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and it is kind of a I think part 50 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 3: of that, Like my job is slightly more exotic because 51 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 3: I'm Graham off the television, But walking around, I'll know 52 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 3: that that's Margaret who takes the money at the butcher's. 53 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: That's the guy who you know works in the garage, 54 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: you know, so I have a kind of a reference 55 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 3: to them as well. And I've been coming here now 56 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 3: for I don't know, like twelve thirteen years or something, 57 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: so you know, to me and if they say hello, 58 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 3: it doesn't seem weird, it's because they know me. 59 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: Now, that's a nice way to be. When does your 60 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: television show come? I've been trying to track this. You 61 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: normally relaunch in September? Am I correct in saying that. 62 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 3: You are correct? And it is still correct. We'll be 63 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 3: back at the end of September? 64 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: I think. 65 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 3: Here we're on air on the twenty seven, twenty eighth 66 00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 3: or something like that, so I don't know when it 67 00:02:59,680 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 3: will be. 68 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: You guys, So where are you at literally as you 69 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: talked to us in this early September morning, do you 70 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: know when you're recording who's on the show. Have you 71 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: got a question line sorted out? Have you started your research? 72 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: Oh? 73 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 3: Mike, no, no, no, there are guest booked. 74 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: But I'm not going to say because that just jinxes it. 75 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 3: You know, it's actually is a really starry lineup for 76 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 3: our first show back at the very star lineup. But 77 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: I don't want to jinx it by saying who's on, 78 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 3: because if I do that, they will all you know, 79 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: you know how to treat this is they will all 80 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 3: cancel the minute I say who they are. 81 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: And we always. 82 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: Record on a Thursday night, so I know that's happening, 83 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: and I won't really get into what we're asking them 84 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 3: until the Wednesday in the office all day Wednesday and 85 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 3: that's when we kind of go through the questions and things. 86 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 3: But I'm very much I don't know what you're like. 87 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: I'm very much what's the thing. I have to focus on, 88 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 3: what's the next thing on? So right now I'm just 89 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 3: about launching to kind of the world of book promo. 90 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 3: I'm doing a tour at Little Biddy Tour here in Ireland, 91 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 3: and then I'm doing a big book tour in the 92 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 3: UK starting next Sunday. So that's where my head's at 93 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 3: and then then at the end of that, I'll go, oh, yeah, 94 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 3: there's a chat show. What do I need to know 95 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 3: about that? I just I don't worry about the next thing. 96 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: I just worry about the thing fantastic. When you interview people, 97 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know who these people are, but 98 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: you will have interviewed them before. Do you look to 99 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: get something different out of it? Or do you look 100 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: to reacquite yourself in that familial way that brings the 101 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: magic that has made you so successful. 102 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: And a bit of both. 103 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 3: You know, if someone was good before, you'd like them 104 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 3: to be good again. If they weren't very good before, 105 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 3: you'd like them to be better. Actually, this first showback, 106 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 3: I think there's at least one, I think two big 107 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: stars who we've never had before. 108 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: Wow. 109 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 2: And one of them I saw her during. 110 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 3: The summer doing a Q and A after a film, 111 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 3: and I'd never really seen her being interviewed before. And 112 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 3: I would have been before I saw this Q and A. 113 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 3: I would have been like, oh, is that going to 114 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 3: be okay?

I did him the other week and 120 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: I'd never done him before, and we were working on 121 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: getting them on for two years and so I've been 122 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: around long enough now to it doesn't bother me, and 123 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, we just chat and all that. But I 124 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: got I was on edge. I thought, I hope this 125 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: goes well as it turns out it did. 126 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: Do you brilliant? 127 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 3: Yeah? 128 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: Well, I mean you don't key, You'll never say it, 129 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: but do you do you go through that same thing? 130 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 3: No, absolutely, you know, particularly and particularly the ones you've 131 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 3: worked for. You know, if somebody just falls into your lap, 132 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 3: you kind of go, oh so, but you know, somebody 133 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 3: like Julia Roberts. We had tried to get Julia Roberts 134 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 3: for you know, decades really, you know, and then finally 135 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 3: it's happening and we realized it was only I think 136 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 3: after we booked it, we realized she'd never done a 137 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 3: UK talk show before. Wow. Ever, not even at the 138 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 3: beginning of her career, she never did one. And and 139 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 3: so you think, oh god, you know, is there a 140 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 3: reason she's. 141 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 2: Never done a UK talk show? 142 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 3: And of course I'm an idiot, because when she sat 143 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 3: down on the couch, you realize why she's such a 144 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 3: youthe star. I mean, just charisma to burn. The audience 145 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 3: were just entranced by her. They just loved everything about her. 146 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 3: But she was great with the audience. You know, you 147 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 3: kind of thought, oh, you know, yes, you're a movie star. 148 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: But she hadn't lost whatever it was that it made her. 149 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 3: She'd be still able to totally engage with an audience, you know. 150 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 3: And in little breaks in the filming, she didn't talk 151 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 3: to me, she didn't talk to Tom Hanks or share. 152 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,239 Speaker 3: She was talking to the audience, and you know, cracking 153 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 3: jokes with them. And I was so impressed by her. Yeah, 154 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 3: and and and that's you know that thing about never 155 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: meet your heroes. It is lovely when you meet your 156 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 3: heroes and they turned out to be everything you'd hoped for. 157 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: Exactly, right, we must talk about the book. And this 158 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: is what you do so incredibly well. You start by 159 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: talking about general metters and then you slip the main 160 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: reason for the interview in And this is what I'm 161 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: doing right now, Graham. As it turns out, so I 162 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: don't think anyone noticed so so so Frankie. Now here's 163 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: here's the thing. It's it's over many years, decades in fact, 164 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: how much research goes in. How do you do the 165 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: research and how do you know it's accurate? 166 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, how do you know it's accurate? You 167 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 3: have to believe what you read research. You have to 168 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 3: go okay, there are some facts in the world. There 169 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 3: are some facts, there are things we can rely on. 170 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 3: So that's how I know it's accurate. 171 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 2: The research. 172 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: I sort of knew that I was going to have 173 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 3: to do some and i'd never really I mean, I've 174 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 3: done a bit of googling when I was writing before, 175 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 3: but never proper research, and so I wasn't sure if 176 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 3: i'd enjoy it, would it be a bit like homework? 177 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 2: And turns out I did enjoy it. 178 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 3: I mean, I think part of the key was that 179 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 3: I was writing about worlds that I was interested in. 180 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 3: It's kind of you know, there's a bit of theater, 181 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: there's a bit of the art world in the sixties 182 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 3: and seventies, and I was interested in those. But to 183 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 3: do kind of the deep dive reading, I found it 184 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 3: all fascinating. I think that the thing you've got to 185 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 3: do then is not put everything you've learned in your book. 186 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 3: You know, sometimes you read a book and you're, yeah, 187 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 3: we get it, you need some research back off. So 188 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: I try to use it as lightly as as I could. 189 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 3: And also, you know, you don't want to turn into 190 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 3: a dinner party war with kind of. 191 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 2: Did you know that? So I'm trying not to be 192 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 2: that guy. 193 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 3: And the good thing is, of course, as fast as 194 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 3: I learned all of this research, I forgot it, So 195 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 3: I hopefully I won't be the dinner party bar fantastic. 196 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: Somebody in a piece of the other day was suggesting 197 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: that you quit radio. Since we've last talked. You quit radio, 198 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: and you've got this busy schedule and you're wandering around 199 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: doing your tour in the book and stuff that we're 200 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: seeing now the evolution of Graham Norton the novelist. Is 201 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: there something in that? 202 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: I mean, I suppose the fewer things you do, the 203 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 2: more focused you become. So you know, I was doing 204 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 2: the radio. 205 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 3: I did the radio for thirteen years, so to have 206 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 3: my weekends back, I'm just seeing it as the evolution 207 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 3: of Graham Norton not doing anything at the weekend. But 208 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 3: I maybe there's a bit of I'm taking the books 209 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 3: more seriously. I think I'm getting better. This is novel five, 210 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 3: and I think it's the one I enjoyed writing the most, 211 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 3: and it seems to be landing in a different way 212 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 3: the kind of the early readers. 213 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 2: And you know, those. 214 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 3: People are those people who get early copies of the 215 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: books and seem more enthused about this book than they 216 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 3: have the others. So yeah, we'll see, we'll see what happens. 217 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 3: This is almost a weird time where before the book 218 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 3: comes out because with lots of the other things I do, 219 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 3: I can pretend I don't care. I can go, you know, oh, 220 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 3: stupid show. We're doing another one next week. It didn't 221 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 3: matter it was bad, or you know, radio show. I 222 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 3: don't care. I'll be back on tomorrow. It doesn't matter. 223 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 3: With a book, you can't pretend you don't care, even 224 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 3: if it's the word and you know, for three hundred 225 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 3: pages it took you a long time to type that word. 226 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 3: You just can't pretend that you didn't put some work in. 227 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 3: So I did put work in, which means that I 228 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 3: guess I feel differently about books than I do about 229 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 3: anything else I do. 230 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 2: You know, you have to take it personally. 231 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: Are you more enthused about this book? Are you sitting 232 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: there in the middle of it thinking, actually, this is 233 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: turning out quite well. 234 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 3: Yes, But then I think I always think that then, 235 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 3: and then it's only, you know, it's only when the 236 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 3: book arrives in the world people go, yeah, you were wrong. 237 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 3: So we'll see how this one lands. But like I say, 238 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 3: so far, it feels kind of different. It feels like 239 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 3: it's people are reacting in a different way. 240 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: Fantastic, well, isn't it? As always? It's lovely to catch 241 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: up and talk with you, and good luck with the book? 242 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: And is the wine still going well? By the way, 243 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: You're still consuming quality of it. 244 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 3: And I'm certainly a consumer, and I'm told it's flying 245 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 3: off the shelves. We met up with the boys in 246 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 3: New York and did our tasting there, which was very glamorous. 247 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 3: Have grapes will travel, So yeah, it's still going strong. 248 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 1: I think, fantastic. We'll enjoy the rest of you some 249 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: of good luck with the book, good luck with the 250 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: television show. We'll look forward to seeing all the stars. 251 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: And who knows, we're booking for our next interview. What 252 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: October a month? 253 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, cheers. Mikee thank you very much.
