WEBVTT - Rose Matafeo

0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>You have no idea how many young people I have

0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:06.600
<v Speaker 1>now got credibility with because of your TV show? Are

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:09.360
<v Speaker 1>you kidding? It's true? Like the kids think I'm really

0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:12.200
<v Speaker 1>cool I do. What a ridiculous thing for you to

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>say to me. I can't believe you did it. To

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:15.600
<v Speaker 1>be honest, I can't believe I did it. You know,

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:19.079
<v Speaker 1>of course I can't. That'd be ridiculous. There's also me

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>just going, oh God, let me be in another scene.

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Let me be in another scene, and I'm okay. I

0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>suppose you can be in one with Alice on Rosa's

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.680
<v Speaker 1>TV show if somebody doesn't show up for work. Alice Sneddon,

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>who co writes the show with Rose, she this is

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>basically like this sort of Zelig figure who they can

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>slot into any scene. And they slotted her into a

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>scene with me in the next season and it was complete.

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Heaven socided, it's gonna be amazing. Can't wait. Hello, I'm

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Mini driver and welcome to many questions. I've always loved

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Bruce questionnaire. It was originally an eighteenth century parlor game

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 1>meant to reveal an individual's true nature, but with so

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>many questions, there wasn't really an opportunity to expand on anything.

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>So I took the format of Proof's questionnaire and adapted

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>What I think are seven of the most important questions

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>you could ever ask someone. They are when and where

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:15.119
<v Speaker 1>were you happiest? What is the quality you like least

0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>about yourself? What relationship, real or fictionalized, defines love for you?

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:26.279
<v Speaker 1>What question would you most like answered, What person, place,

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>or experience has shaped you the most? What would be

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>your last meal? And can you tell me something in

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>your life that has grown out of a personal disaster.

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>The more people we ask, the more we begin to

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>see what makes us similar and what makes us individual.

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I've gathered a group of really remarkable people who I

0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>am honored and humbled to have had a chance to

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>engage with. My guest today are many questions. Is actor

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>and writer Rose matter Fair. Rose and I both love

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>George Siegel and both watch a lot of movies. Basically,

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm just trying to have things in common with her

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 1>because I think she's clever and brilliant. She and the

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>equally genius Alice Nedden wrote the show star Struck, which

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.239
<v Speaker 1>is on HBO in the US and BBC three in

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:21.080
<v Speaker 1>the UK, and they had the very pleasing idea to

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>cast me in the show as well as a terrible person,

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>which I very much enjoy. It's a really funny show.

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Rose and Alice have the kind of

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.920
<v Speaker 1>voices that rise up and over the traffic jam of

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>comedy shows that abound on every platform. Rose is just

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>bloody funny and her answer to what question she'd most

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>like answered is unusual. All right, Angel, I'm gonna crack on. Okay,

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:54.799
<v Speaker 1>first question, when and where were you happiest? I don't

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>know if many of your other gifts have difficulty like

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 1>identifying when they are happy. I feel like happiness is

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>like that thing for me that happens peripherally where it's like,

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 1>oh oh yeah, and you kind of watch it, kind

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 1>of passed you by, And I'm the worst living in

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the moment. That concept doesn't exist for me. It's like

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 1>every moment is either near future or the just recent past.

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>There is nothing about living in the moment or I'm

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 1>trying to get away from it. So maybe be stuck

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>in the moment. I want to get away from that.

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Let that be the past. This now has got to

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>be the past really fucking fast, really really fast. And

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>then I can dwell on it. I love dwelling. I

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>live on the past. I dwell in the past. It's

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>my house, my home. I'm going to mortgage in it.

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>But there are very rare moments where I am very

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>calm and aware of my surroundings and we're of just

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>being happy and relaxed. I think the last time I

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>happened was it was lockdown. Last year. I came back

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 1>from London to New Zealand to like watch the world end.

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I suppose, you know, figure out what I'm going to

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>do with my life. I don't have like a family

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>home in New Zealand or anything, but my Nan does,

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 1>and so I live with my Nan when I go

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>back to New Zealand. So I live with her for

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>quite a few months, and it was just me and her,

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and it was intense. But there was an afternoon where

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I was like in her backyard and it was like sunny.

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>She's the best man ever. She was like, I put

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the hammer cup for your rose, and she made me

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 1>sit in the hammock and she furnishes me with all

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. And then she brought over a radio that

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>was like it was like a crank radio. A crank

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>radio that was a crank radio, which is also a torch.

0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 1>It's an emergency it's an emergency torch. And if in radio,

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>that's the happiest I've been in. So in a hammock

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 1>with a crank radio, yeah, playing like Seals and Craft,

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:39.839
<v Speaker 1>I've got the taste of like a six year old

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>man when it comes to music. It's that kind of

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 1>era or like yacht rock, you know, yeah, Kenny Loggin's

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>all that. Michael McDonald, Oh my god, give me some

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Michael McDonald, Give me some little rubber band or something.

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm honestly the oldest person alive in my

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>body currently. I think it's that feeling very like safe, relaxed.

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if I'm very much an extrovert,

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>but I love, you know, the feeling of having someone

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.480
<v Speaker 1>in the other room pottering. I love that feeling. I

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>love that too. I think that goes back to childhood.

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I really do, the complete safety because it was before

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.160
<v Speaker 1>we knew that, like there was absolutely nothing they could

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.279
<v Speaker 1>do to stop the apocalypse if it were to happen.

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>But when you're a child, you think that they could

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 1>exactly the sound of a radio playing in a different

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>room as well, and like the sound of someone just

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:29.479
<v Speaker 1>doing chores or like tinkering away. It's so lovely. No,

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.479
<v Speaker 1>I agree, you know, it's so funny. My dad had

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>some depression later in his life, and when I asked

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>him what he did to combat it, he said, well,

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, the first thing I do in the morning

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.800
<v Speaker 1>is go downstairs and put the radio on and then

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 1>go back upstairs so I can hear it from upstairs.

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 1>And it sort of broke my heart, but I I

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>actually do it now, even when I'm not depressed. It's

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 1>the idea that there is proof of life somewhere in

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>the house. Totally. I listened to New Zealand Radio in

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>London and I feel immediately just calm because it reminds

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>me of my NaN's house. And when my granddad passed away,

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.840
<v Speaker 1>her sister was like, keep the radio on. She was

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>just like, put the radio on all the time. It's

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.039
<v Speaker 1>going to feel like someone's in the house. And she

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>just did. I think it's really interesting like that idea

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:19.479
<v Speaker 1>of quite literally tuning into a frequency to go okay,

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I can sort of be there and it becomes a companion,

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 1>it becomes a tether to reality. Totally. It's pure comfort.

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>It's really interesting. I rely on my kitchen radio. Yeah,

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>it's like the thing of like looking at the moon

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>and then someone else looking at the same moon. It's

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 1>like white people watch television, and why people go to

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.039
<v Speaker 1>the cinema and why people listen to it's that she

0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>had experience. It's not the same if you put a

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:45.040
<v Speaker 1>playlist on. It's like, there's something so specific and weirdly

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>unifying about that, isn't it completely So maybe it's about

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 1>the creation of community because we're also bleed and isolated.

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I think, so there's things that make us feel even

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.839
<v Speaker 1>in our isolation. You're still alone when the radio is on,

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>but you're also not. It's a feeling of going, oh

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>my god, I'm alive at the same time as you.

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>It always blows my mind sometimes, you know, and I'm like,

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of incredible when you look around anyone everyone,

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 1>You're like, oh my god, we're alive at the same time.

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>What are the odds one of the chances? One are

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the chances that we are alive at the same time.

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I love somebody did celebrities and so I like, you know,

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 1>I always get gutted because there's been so many people

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 1>in human history and the universe. Is bizarre that you

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and I are alive at the same time. It's a

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>very cool, astonishing thing that I don't think people realized.

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I know you you have. I don't mean this is

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 1>an insult, but I think that you have quite a

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of stone thoughts, completely sober, like you really like

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 1>you function at a really stoned level of thinking a

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of the time. That's so true, And it's one

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 1>of the things I love most about you, because like

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 1>you're not smoking weed when we're working and having these conversations. No, no, no, no,

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>But with the backdrop, you know, watching the present moment

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>go by as if it were a bar john a river,

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>whilst listening to Michael McDonald well marveling that you're alive

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 1>at the same time as all the people on that barge.

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Like I fucking love you. Oh my god. Don't do drugs, kids,

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Just be stoned sober, you know, just do a lot

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 1>of overthinking. Just be a pisces either way, that's exactly it.

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Just be a pisces al right, So as a place

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>and then what quality do you like least about yourself?

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:32.959
<v Speaker 1>So many I mean, it's hard to narrow it down.

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm a very self critical person and that's something that

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe when I was younger, I thought it

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 1>was a basset and I'm kind of realizing it's not.

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 1>And it's a slight form of self obsession, even though

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.839
<v Speaker 1>everyone is obsessed with themselves. But I've kind of built

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 1>almost like a career of being self deprecating and I'm

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>getting to the point now and like, God, there might

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 1>not be a great thing. But I think that's an

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.199
<v Speaker 1>interesting question and that I really do think that everyone

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 1>has traits and there is always like equally positive and

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>negative aspects of them. So I think things that I go, oh, gosh,

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.319
<v Speaker 1>I really don't like that about myself. There's always a

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:07.839
<v Speaker 1>flip side of going, well, if I didn't have that,

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have the other thing about me. And the

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 1>thing recently I've realized is that I've got a quick temper.

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I can get really angry, and not necessarily other people.

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 1>They don't take it down on other people, but I

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 1>sound like I'm like in so Wars or something. I've

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of angry inside me sometimes and I

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.679
<v Speaker 1>can't control I can't control my emotions very well. I'm

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 1>very bad. I think it controlling my emotions. Me and

0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.559
<v Speaker 1>my friend ear where we describe it as living close

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.959
<v Speaker 1>to God, Like we're just on the edge. We are

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>on the edge of our emotions. There is no daring it.

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 1>We are living life outward. Okay, wait, I'm also loving.

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Hold on, I'm loving that it's taking something like I've

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>got a really bad temper. Yeah, but let's call it

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:55.720
<v Speaker 1>being closer to God. I'm a bit of a clep Germania. Okay,

0:09:55.920 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>let's call that stealing. For Jesus, You've got to put

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 1>a positive spin on things. You've gotta look on the

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>bright so I life, Come on, many. I couldn't agree

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 1>with you more. And I wonder if that is the

0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 1>evolution of the awareness of the things that we don't

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>like about ourselves is by going, well, if I didn't

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:16.559
<v Speaker 1>have this short temper or irritation or whatever it is,

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't necessarily have this other thing. I don't think

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.440
<v Speaker 1>that the things we like, at least about ourselves are

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 1>necessarily bad. Genuinely think that they're part of the awful

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:34.959
<v Speaker 1>quilt that we're shrouded in human existence. Oh my god,

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the quote do not quote. You could not have made

0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 1>a more perfect made of for my outlook on life.

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 1>It involves craft, and it involves like complete cynicism. I mean,

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.239
<v Speaker 1>controlling emotions is hard, but I think it's it's particularly

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 1>hard when your your work is about that. It's like

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.319
<v Speaker 1>it's about harnessing it. It's the currency. Yeah, I think

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.839
<v Speaker 1>that's what learning the craft of whatever you do is

0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 1>doing able to not go absolutely mean to It's a

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>tight rope walk. I think it's also about figuring out

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.440
<v Speaker 1>what the triggers are. I figured out that men with

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 1>a particular kind of handshake, we're really problematic. To the

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>minute I shook hands to them, I was like my

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>own coach, alright, steady, fill the total dick. You've only

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.439
<v Speaker 1>just mear him, but I know you're going to hate him.

0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Don't let anything he says bother you just ignore him.

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 1>And it actually worked. I wish I could do that

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.559
<v Speaker 1>with everybody, But I just got lucky realizing that men

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 1>with weird handshakes it's a particular kind of handshake. I

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know, man instincts. I hate that instincts are often

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:37.959
<v Speaker 1>so correct. It's an annoying thing you want to ignore sometimes. Yeah,

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:39.719
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe that's something I had about myself is

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 1>that I do thinks against my bit of chuck. There

0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>is a small rose in me. There is a rose

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 1>in me, and she is so smart and so wide,

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>so clever, has so many principles. She is strong, she's

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 1>a strong rose, but she is tiny one back somewhere

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.520
<v Speaker 1>in my hair. Well, you lock her in the bathroom,

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.480
<v Speaker 1>don't you. I mean we all do. With the sentient

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.080
<v Speaker 1>person who lives inside us. We often just lock them

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 1>in the bathroom and don't let them come out with us.

0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Exactly right, everyone in the car, not you, not you,

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.080
<v Speaker 1>not you smart Rose. All right, so you're gonna ruin tonight?

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 1>What question would you most like answered? Oh? My goodness,

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 1>does everyone always say, like, what happens after you die? Yeah?

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Pretty much? But it is kind of I don't want

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>to know. I don't want to know. What question do

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.079
<v Speaker 1>you most not want answered? I don't want to know

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 1>what happens when you die? Jesus, I don't. I mean,

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm petrified of death. It's awful. I don't want it

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.720
<v Speaker 1>to happen. Death is unacceptable. It is an unacceptable premise

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 1>because it's accepting the absence of something. You cannot accept

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the absence of an experience. Do you know what I mean?

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I can accept it's going to rain. Oh, I have

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:57.959
<v Speaker 1>to accept the fact that I will not have the

0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 1>capabilities to accept anything more like a freaking paradox, Like,

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>what are you talking about? I think it would be

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:07.079
<v Speaker 1>worse to be told because I just don't think anything happens.

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.559
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe something happens with the energy and your

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 1>body because I was raised by mappies. You know that

0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 1>goes somewhere, but you're not like, you know, able to

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 1>do anything with it. It's just it's probably like the

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 1>end of two thousand and one space hodesty or something.

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 1>But if I knew what happened after death, I would

0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 1>be such a ship human now and be like, oh,

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.200
<v Speaker 1>fuck it, Oh I can kick it? And here? Oh

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 1>what am I trying to be a good person? Here? God?

0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Fun now whatever? I'm trying to think of things I

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.839
<v Speaker 1>genuinely want to know. I would like to know where

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 1>eels come from. Do you know about eels? Tell me?

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, I didn't I read a headline. I

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't read the whole article, but I've read something. The

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 1>rumor has it eels no one knows where they go.

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 1>They don't know where they come from. They don't know

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:59.319
<v Speaker 1>who they read? What do you mean? What do you mean? Many?

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>They don't don't know where the frick these eels are going. Okay,

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm googling this ship right now. Where do eels? It's

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 1>literally no one knows. Okay, hold on, check it out. Honestly, um, listen,

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the new scientists, you're absolutely right. How are baby eels made?

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 1>We still don't know. So let me ask you this.

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.640
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to know what happens with death because

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't want desk to happen. And you're annoyed by

0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 1>that that you're not annoyed by eels. You would like

0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>to know where they come from. So are you quite

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>conditional about the magic that you want an answer for? Yeah? Basically,

0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 1>you know what? And even in saying that I want

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.840
<v Speaker 1>to know where eels come from, I don't. Honestly, you

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 1>know what. If you've got a secret to keep, they're

0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 1>keeping it for a reason, like we don't need to

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 1>know everything. Look, there must be some mystery left from

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 1>this world. Embrace the unknown for God's sake. I wish

0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I knew what I should not want to know? Do

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? Yeah? And just example, change,

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>just go on, I mean, which must have been basically

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.880
<v Speaker 1>everybody in the dark ages. It's like, oh my god, yeah,

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 1>what is that white light in the sky. I'll never

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 1>know what that thing at night is, the big round

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 1>silver thing, bizarre, don't need to know. It's on a

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.920
<v Speaker 1>need to know basis, And honey, you are not on

0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the list. You are not on the list. But now, yeah,

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I think that knowing what happens after you die, it

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 1>just it sucks. It sucks. I don't know that it

0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>would make now any better, that's see anything. I don't

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.480
<v Speaker 1>think it wor was. I don't think it would change

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 1>because we can't stop. I'd rather know how to stop

0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 1>the dying thing. Oh god, that'd be brilliant. I would

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 1>even take knowing how to stop worrying about the dying thing.

0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's good, because to worry about something that is

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.880
<v Speaker 1>not in your control is irrational. And that's the worst

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 1>thing about being human and being capable of understanding your

0:15:56.440 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 1>own death. We've been cursed with the ability to know

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 1>that we will one day die, and it's like it

0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.520
<v Speaker 1>can be a kind of galvanizing you know, energy of Well,

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say I would be extremely unmotivated

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 1>if I didn't worry about death so much. That's true,

0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 1>that's so frea control. Actually, you know what, that's a

0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 1>really good point. Death the great motivating mentorm All right,

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 1>get off your as bed exactly. Okay, slightly more in

0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:35.840
<v Speaker 1>the here and now, but also to do with death,

0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.280
<v Speaker 1>what would be your last meal? Thank you so much

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.080
<v Speaker 1>for asking. Yes, so welcome. I think about this often

0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.400
<v Speaker 1>because mainly I got really obsist with the last meals

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 1>of serial killers on death row for a while. You know,

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 1>my son was also very interested in that. It's usually

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.120
<v Speaker 1>fried chicken. Like if I were on family feuds, that

0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 1>would be number one that I would make everybody say,

0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.320
<v Speaker 1>always frey chicken, or like I think often the default meal, well,

0:16:58.360 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>if you don't ask, or something is like a row

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 1>speak dinner or something I think Ted Bundy like didn't

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.439
<v Speaker 1>eaters or something like that. I don't know, Like I

0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 1>need to stop reading about this kind of stuff. One

0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:11.200
<v Speaker 1>guy just chose one single P. That's where I mean,

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.640
<v Speaker 1>that's the most annoying. How can you be annoying all

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:18.160
<v Speaker 1>the way up? I think you can one P to wait,

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 1>do you then compare what you would like to these

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>serial killers and what they like and try and find. Well,

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I use it as a basis. Yeah, I'm like, well,

0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, if I was really because I think you

0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.480
<v Speaker 1>could go with something you know, sentimental or something you

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:36.480
<v Speaker 1>know my nan made. But honestly, Bartomy is like I

0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.560
<v Speaker 1>want pizza heart, but the way they did it in

0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the nineties where they like essentially fried the crusts and oil,

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:49.080
<v Speaker 1>which was basically boarderline illegal, And I want to meet

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:53.120
<v Speaker 1>love those pizza at one point five bottle of pepsi

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and some chocolate moss because I think by the end

0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 1>of eating that I would want to die, but be ready.

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to eat like a light meal. I

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.200
<v Speaker 1>don't need sushimi. I don't need to light meal before

0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I die. Get me to the point where I'm like,

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 1>you know what it would you all forded sort of

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.199
<v Speaker 1>pass on to the next stage after this, You'd be

0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.480
<v Speaker 1>quite surprised how many people are like, you know, if

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.159
<v Speaker 1>I knew it was my last meal, I would barely

0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:21.280
<v Speaker 1>be able to eat. And it's like, well, well, also,

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:23.800
<v Speaker 1>what if you didn't know that it was your last meal?

0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Exactly if heaven existed and when you die and you

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.080
<v Speaker 1>look back on the you know, sort of highlights really

0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:30.840
<v Speaker 1>your last day, and you see that you had like

0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.960
<v Speaker 1>a pritty sandwich or something, You're like, but no, why

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 1>did I eat that? May be so gutted. In fact,

0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.280
<v Speaker 1>that's why I hate eating those yogurts that are like,

0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:44.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, a billion acidophilus whatever it is, because it

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:46.480
<v Speaker 1>makes me, first of all, it makes me feel like

0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 1>there's a billion creatures in my cart. But also I

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.639
<v Speaker 1>would hate the irony of doing something for my health

0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.560
<v Speaker 1>right before I die, because then it would just be

0:18:55.760 --> 0:19:00.440
<v Speaker 1>another lyric in Alanis Morissette song It's as a list

0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:04.360
<v Speaker 1>right before you die. I mean, it's the whole thing

0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:06.480
<v Speaker 1>of wearing a good pair of knickers because you might

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 1>get hit or something, and you tracking. I had a

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:11.960
<v Speaker 1>stand up joke and years ago from a very genuine

0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:13.960
<v Speaker 1>fair and something that actually happened to me being on

0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:17.360
<v Speaker 1>a plane and really specifically deciding what film that you're

0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:20.159
<v Speaker 1>watching because somebody scared of flying. I don't want that

0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.399
<v Speaker 1>plane to go down and I die, and my mom's like,

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>what was the last thing she was watching? And then

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:28.639
<v Speaker 1>it would just be like Despicable me too. It's like,

0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to you don't want that that to

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.760
<v Speaker 1>be the final one, you know, you want to watch

0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:35.840
<v Speaker 1>something pointed and happened. I went. I was on a

0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 1>flight to Japan ones and a plane like experienced engine

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.480
<v Speaker 1>failure and I was like, holy sh it. I was alone.

0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, this could be it. But I

0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't have any song saved my phone or anything. So

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:47.920
<v Speaker 1>as we were landing and as I was like really

0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:49.800
<v Speaker 1>aware of the fact that this might be the last

0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 1>thing that I might experience on this as well, the

0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 1>song I picked to potentially die too was Pig by

0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:03.199
<v Speaker 1>Steely Dan. Like what and like what? But you know

0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:07.200
<v Speaker 1>what I stick by it, Like to Bob, it's a Bob.

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:14.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, that is fantastic. Pig Yeah, Pig, just

0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 1>those harmonies and just going down. But that's a sly

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:21.359
<v Speaker 1>one because they arguably that is a great song, even

0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:24.240
<v Speaker 1>though there's just so much reference to kind of underage

0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 1>women and drugs and Stevie Dan. I just have you

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:33.200
<v Speaker 1>know the Queveld Gold funk God love. Do you know

0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:35.360
<v Speaker 1>how hard it is to be a twenty nine year

0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 1>old woman living in one and all of my favorite

0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.640
<v Speaker 1>films being made like the sixties and seventies. I've got

0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the most problematic sort of list of texts that are

0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:49.119
<v Speaker 1>my favorite others. But also we've established that you're a

0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.840
<v Speaker 1>six year old man in a twenty nine year old

0:20:51.920 --> 0:21:05.760
<v Speaker 1>body with a bunch of other personalities locked in the bathroom. Okay,

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:12.320
<v Speaker 1>so what relationship, real or fictionalized defined love fear? I mean,

0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I I love love. It's like an interest of mine.

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:17.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm not successful in it, but I love

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.199
<v Speaker 1>the concept of it and others having it one that

0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I can really think of, which is so silly. When

0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I was younger, I used to have like a celebrity

0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:25.560
<v Speaker 1>hight chart because I was quite tall and I felt

0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:27.919
<v Speaker 1>really insecure about how tall I was. So I decided

0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to make a chart in my school diary of all

0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:32.960
<v Speaker 1>my favorite celebrities, how tall they were, in how many's

0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:36.240
<v Speaker 1>intermedis tight difference they had to me. And being now

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 1>in the business of show business. Sometimes I do meet

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:43.240
<v Speaker 1>people who were probably on that chart and I tell

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:46.080
<v Speaker 1>them about it, and they always take it not crazy well,

0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I kind of mentioned their ship. I

0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:50.600
<v Speaker 1>always got abs with couples where the woman was taller

0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.120
<v Speaker 1>than the man, like Nicole Kipman and Tom Cruise were

0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:57.880
<v Speaker 1>exactly one of my favorite ones and Bancroft in mel Brooks. Yeah,

0:21:57.880 --> 0:21:59.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh. Then I just started going down this

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:02.439
<v Speaker 1>rabbit whole recently of interviews with them both and when

0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:04.680
<v Speaker 1>they would work together and how they met, and they

0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:08.160
<v Speaker 1>just they have like this this crazy love. I mean,

0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I love actors and I love film, and I love

0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the whole kind of weird I don't know universe of

0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:15.880
<v Speaker 1>sometimes when they date and marry each other. But it's

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 1>so nice when you see like two very talented people

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, oh my god, and you guys totally

0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:22.640
<v Speaker 1>get on and you love each other and you're obsessed

0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:25.480
<v Speaker 1>with each other and you make each other laugh. And yeah,

0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I just I really love their relationship and that the

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:30.439
<v Speaker 1>fact that she's so much sure than you know, I agree,

0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's because you see that they loved

0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:37.000
<v Speaker 1>each other so much that walked in the room before

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 1>anything else totally. And also because he's so confident and

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:44.760
<v Speaker 1>great and so not insecure and so not like quite

0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:50.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of other short actors whom I've worked with. Well,

0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:52.879
<v Speaker 1>it's a thing, isn't it. We've come so far. I

0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:55.720
<v Speaker 1>live in such a progressive world compared to my mom

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 1>and my grandmother and all other generations, and you go

0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:02.399
<v Speaker 1>it is still it's made of dates on shure and

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:07.280
<v Speaker 1>it's absolutely bizarre. It's so weird. And also, let me

0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:08.720
<v Speaker 1>tell you, I don't know if this has happened to

0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:11.520
<v Speaker 1>you yet as an actor, but I've had more ditches

0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:15.200
<v Speaker 1>doug for me then I've had men put on boxes,

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. And it's kind of like, well, can

0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:22.640
<v Speaker 1>we do rock paper scissors for like, who either goes

0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:25.640
<v Speaker 1>on the box or goes on the fucking ditch, because frankly,

0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:29.560
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't feel equable, and you're still shorter than me exactly,

0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:32.919
<v Speaker 1>someone's putting on heels here. But I've found it's so

0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:37.520
<v Speaker 1>not actors or men being short. It's the overcompensation for

0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:39.639
<v Speaker 1>what it is they think they're missing. Whereas in the

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:41.919
<v Speaker 1>same way that mel brooks he was just happy in

0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:45.560
<v Speaker 1>himself and just with his super heart, amazing, beautiful, talented,

0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:49.879
<v Speaker 1>clever wife, there wasn't anything to compensate for, exactly. And

0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I think also particularly in you know, hetero sexual relationships,

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:57.880
<v Speaker 1>seeing absolute comfort and the other person's amazing nous with

0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:01.920
<v Speaker 1>no hint of jel, I see your or competitiveness of

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:06.120
<v Speaker 1>just being like stoked to be with someone just incredible,

0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:09.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, that's really hard to find, I think,

0:24:09.119 --> 0:24:12.280
<v Speaker 1>particularly for women, you know, like women who just are

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:16.400
<v Speaker 1>fucking awesome and shine in the world. I mean, maybe

0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm being a bit too better. I think there are

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:19.879
<v Speaker 1>many wonderful couples out there, but I do find it

0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:23.920
<v Speaker 1>heartbreaking when really great women can't find cool people. It's

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:26.800
<v Speaker 1>all for I know. I just got a text message

0:24:26.800 --> 0:24:29.240
<v Speaker 1>from someone today, can can you find me a boyfriend?

0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:32.080
<v Speaker 1>And it was just like, she's so amazing. I was like,

0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:34.920
<v Speaker 1>what my what, what's going on? What is going on?

0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>And then also the other awful side of that was

0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:41.119
<v Speaker 1>I was then thinking about men that I knew, and

0:24:41.320 --> 0:24:44.200
<v Speaker 1>oddly the way that they've been dealing with their single

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:47.680
<v Speaker 1>nous is to not kind of do any self excavation,

0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:50.119
<v Speaker 1>but rather to just shag a lot of women. And

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:51.919
<v Speaker 1>they're not people that I would want to set my

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:54.119
<v Speaker 1>mate up with anyway, because they just I was like,

0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:56.320
<v Speaker 1>there's no one I know who's worthy. And she's like,

0:24:56.359 --> 0:24:57.960
<v Speaker 1>are you talking about X, Y and Z. And I

0:24:58.000 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>was like yes, and she was like they're great and

0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I was like, well, I thought so until I saw

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:05.320
<v Speaker 1>how they behave with the women that they're sleeping with. Yeah,

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:07.680
<v Speaker 1>do you know how much self respect as a cock block?

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:12.280
<v Speaker 1>It's so horrible. It's like it's so difficult. I'm single.

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I've been single for quite a few years intermittently. And

0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the older I gets. So it's like when I say

0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:19.400
<v Speaker 1>the older I get, I'm like, nearly, you know, I'm

0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:21.440
<v Speaker 1>turning thirty. Next years, I'm like, I've no nothing. I go,

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:23.359
<v Speaker 1>and you know, in ten years, I'll look back at myself, go,

0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:25.520
<v Speaker 1>what the hell was I thinking? But it's so funny,

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.399
<v Speaker 1>Like if I was my early twenties, there are situations

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I've been I'd totally act differently. But now I'm like,

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:35.080
<v Speaker 1>you're better than this, right, you aren't better than this,

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:37.800
<v Speaker 1>which means you will not have sex right now. You

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:40.520
<v Speaker 1>need to accept that. You know you're better than this,

0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:42.920
<v Speaker 1>but you are not going to have sex, and you're

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 1>going to own that. You've gotta live with that, Okay,

0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:48.520
<v Speaker 1>all right. I feel like you've got quite a few

0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:51.400
<v Speaker 1>different people who keep locked in the bathroom. I mean,

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:53.719
<v Speaker 1>it's a party, it's an on suite, and they just

0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:56.439
<v Speaker 1>let them out, to let them out to brate you,

0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and then shove them back into that you can go

0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:01.960
<v Speaker 1>up by yourself and make terrible decision. I mean, that's

0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:07.480
<v Speaker 1>like them. You're only twenty nine. I mean, seriously, this

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:10.720
<v Speaker 1>is the fun bit. And this sounds so patronizing, you

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:14.000
<v Speaker 1>saying that like having self respect is a cock block.

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome. That is so awesome. And I'm telling you

0:26:18.960 --> 0:26:20.840
<v Speaker 1>there is some dude who is going to think that

0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:24.280
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely brilliant. And you know what, he might be

0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:28.360
<v Speaker 1>listening right now. My god, can you believe that? And

0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:33.359
<v Speaker 1>how did you meet? Well? This podcast and I just

0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:36.199
<v Speaker 1>felt it and I just needed to find it. The

0:26:36.240 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 1>twist is that I was the one who taxted you

0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:44.359
<v Speaker 1>asking for a boyfriend. Oh God Christ. The second season
