Speaker 1: Good money. It's a Christian Colors Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Hey, thank you very much for downloading this. We do
Speaker 2: this with our big interviews and we're doing this with
Speaker 2: Ricky Gervais. Was lucky enough to catch up with Ricky
Speaker 2: live from London, Live to Australia. This is the full
Speaker 2: raw unedited interview for your ears if you haven't checked
Speaker 2: it out yet. After Live Season two, which obviously the
Speaker 2: a lot of this chat is about, is out now
Speaker 2: on Netflix wherever you are in the world. It is outstanding.
Speaker 2: I can't recommend it enough. For now, though. Let's crack
Speaker 2: on Ricky Jervas talking life, love, mops, badminton, all of it,
Speaker 2: enjoying Hello, you're right hello mate. First of all, all
Speaker 2: we talk about after Live season two, I'm keen to
Speaker 2: catch up and let me please let us know. How
Speaker 2: are you coping in lockdown?
Speaker 3: Fine?
Speaker 1: I've said so many times. You never hear me complain.
Speaker 1: When there's nurses doing forteen.
Speaker 3: Hour shift in their house and left found its house
Speaker 3: to do. It's good work.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I'm I'm a writer, so I
Speaker 1: can do that at home. I'm not, but I could
Speaker 1: be if I wanted it.
Speaker 3: I should be writing I'm just not so.
Speaker 1: I've always got enough boothing for a nuclear winter. I'm
Speaker 1: always on the couch by six pm, drinking wine and
Speaker 1: watching Netflix, so that hasn't changed. Obviously, the gigs are postponed,
Speaker 1: but you know what you're going to do. I reckon
Speaker 1: there'd be the last things back because it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: ten thousand theaters, so.
Speaker 3: Hopefully they happen next year. So I'm good, you know.
Speaker 3: And the.
Speaker 1: Fact that season two has gone down the storms really
Speaker 1: given me a little spring in my step to start.
Speaker 3: Thinking about season three. So I'm good. Driving Jane mad
Speaker 3: because she usually gets the house to.
Speaker 1: Us out an office down the road where I have
Speaker 1: meetings and work, so I'm home all the time.
Speaker 3: So I've heard this quite a lot. Okay, keep quiet
Speaker 3: from it. Let me just finish this sentence about maybe
Speaker 3: in a minute.
Speaker 2: It's like she's got now she's got a kid who's
Speaker 2: at home, who's normally at school, but he's a fifty
Speaker 2: something kid.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that's feel weird.
Speaker 1: Six Yeah, but you know what it's it's it's fine.
Speaker 3: I'm getting used to it. I've never used zoom so much.
Speaker 3: Oh well, that's a good thing about it.
Speaker 1: As well, because like usually you have to you know,
Speaker 1: travel to do interviews, and now I just do them
Speaker 1: all on zoom. So I think I've done back twice
Speaker 1: as many interviews because I'm just.
Speaker 2: At home on the bon In my mind, You've got
Speaker 2: like about twenty four different clocks on the wall with
Speaker 2: all different time zones. Because as I was watching the
Speaker 2: credits roll after the last episode of After I've Season two,
Speaker 2: I see all the credits afterwards. If you let it roll,
Speaker 2: you'd obviously be aware of this, but they surprise me
Speaker 2: of it's vi actually every single one hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: whatever it is countries in the world, Turkey, it goes
Speaker 2: all Africa, it goes all around the world with all
Speaker 2: the different credits, the little slide of.
Speaker 1: It mad I mean, I translated it into undred and
Speaker 1: fifty languages.
Speaker 3: I didn't even know they were undred and fifty languages.
Speaker 3: It's incredible. There've got one hundred and seventy million.
Speaker 1: Subscribers around the world, so you can imagine when that
Speaker 1: all comes out and exactly the same time, whatever your
Speaker 1: time zone. The reaction is incredible. And I see it
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I wake up and I've had like eight
Speaker 1: hours worth of people tweeting me through the night from
Speaker 1: all over the world. And I mean it's like the
Speaker 1: first few days, it's like a couple of tweets every second.
Speaker 1: It was mental and I try and read them and see,
Speaker 1: you know, like them all, but it's crazy.
Speaker 3: You just can't give her. And that grows.
Speaker 1: Because obviously the first season, it took months for everyone
Speaker 1: who watched it to watch it. People were finding it
Speaker 1: all the time, but those people were waiting for the
Speaker 1: second season to come out. So it's like the year's
Speaker 1: worth of people who watched the first season watched the
Speaker 1: second in the first few days. So it's been it's
Speaker 1: been phenomenal. But I don't I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know the figures really. I know, you know, I know
Speaker 1: it goes down well, but I don't know how many
Speaker 1: people watch it in the India and Russia.
Speaker 2: And were you worried about, obviously promoting a show which
Speaker 2: is coming out in such an extraordinary time like Lockdown,
Speaker 2: whether a show about grief and those kind of things
Speaker 2: would be a buzzkill people would avoid it.
Speaker 1: I wasn't because you've got to ignore those things, because
Speaker 1: you know, you can you can read.
Speaker 3: Things into anything.
Speaker 1: Like I'll be doing a joke on tour for a
Speaker 1: year and then something happens in the news and.
Speaker 3: You've sort of got to acknowledge it.
Speaker 1: But because people think, as you just made that joke tonight,
Speaker 1: after that terrible thing happens, you know, but there's always
Speaker 1: a terrible thing happening. And at least with this, people know, oh,
Speaker 1: he must have written this and filmed it a year ago,
Speaker 1: you know, So people understand that. And people watch old
Speaker 1: things and new things, and I don't think people are
Speaker 1: watching this being reminded of the it's there, you know,
Speaker 1: how could you forget that there's a pandemic? So I
Speaker 1: think if anything, it's escaping them like everything else. And also,
Speaker 1: you know, people are tired of watching TV programs made
Speaker 1: of zoom.
Speaker 3: The high thing, you.
Speaker 1: Know, lovely graining and dove and beautiful sounds great. And
Speaker 1: also it's about things that are inside us and they're
Speaker 1: always there. No one needs to be reminded that they've
Speaker 1: gone through a grief or worries or anxiety. It's just
Speaker 1: it's always there, and it's sort of about that, and
Speaker 1: I think people embrace it.
Speaker 3: Because real life's worse.
Speaker 1: You know, and the overwhelming reaction was people's emotional response.
Speaker 1: We've got three hundred letters my agent. That never happens,
Speaker 1: and it was people telling their personal story. Where people
Speaker 1: come at to me on the street. Usually it's well
Speaker 1: done at the globes or love the office or whatever,
Speaker 1: and this one people would side up to his say,
Speaker 1: I've just got to say, I lost my brother three
Speaker 1: weeks before I watched that and it was amazing.
Speaker 3: That really helped it. It was me, that was me totally.
Speaker 3: I went through that.
Speaker 1: And so people like things they recognize because people want
Speaker 1: to know that they're normal, you know, and everyone's grieving.
Speaker 1: Everyone is grieving to some extent all the time, you know,
Speaker 1: and one in four people suffer from some form of
Speaker 1: mental illness, whether it's depression or anxiety or just a
Speaker 1: little bit nervous sometimes around people. You know, it can
Speaker 1: be anything. And so people like seeing themselves reflected in
Speaker 1: something because it tells them they're not there's nothing wrong
Speaker 1: or abnormal about them. And I think people are drawn
Speaker 1: to that and they want it to be to discussed
Speaker 1: intelligently and in a funny way. No harm can come
Speaker 1: from discussing taboos subjects. We also second guess the public
Speaker 1: way too much.
Speaker 3: We sit at artists and creator and studios.
Speaker 1: They go or the general public can't take that, or
Speaker 1: they don't like swearing, or they can't take things. But listen,
Speaker 1: real life is steel scarier than fiction, and we create
Speaker 1: our own heroes and villains. There's role playing for the soul.
Speaker 1: People love taking themselves through this scary forest of emotions
Speaker 1: and they come out the other side and they're better,
Speaker 1: They feel stronger. Crying makes you feel just as good
Speaker 1: as laughing. And I really don't distinguish between sort of
Speaker 1: comedy and drama. It's just it's me facting emotions to
Speaker 1: strangers around the world and and then they download their
Speaker 1: own emotions and and and that's good. That's a that's
Speaker 1: a great workout. It makes people feel and that's what's.
Speaker 3: Great about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so true. Isn't it great? Ar what it is music, comedy,
Speaker 2: film is about. Actually, it's it's about making us feel
Speaker 2: less alone. It's about feeling your feelings better, isn't it Well?
Speaker 3: Exactly?
Speaker 1: Because even if you go on I'm not going to
Speaker 1: go there, I'm not going to think about it, You're
Speaker 1: still thinking about it in your subconscious Your stomach is
Speaker 1: thinking about it.
Speaker 3: You know, you don't get away with it. It comes
Speaker 3: out in your dreams or or something.
Speaker 1: And and all the symptoms of anxiety are incredible. They
Speaker 1: feel they all feel like something else. You know, you
Speaker 1: can have heart palplications, headaches, temperature.
Speaker 3: Upset stomach, you can have all these things that I'm ill.
Speaker 3: And all it is is you're you're feeling.
Speaker 1: Anxious or you're worried about something, you know, And I
Speaker 1: really think that we're living in a time now there's
Speaker 1: never been a better time to discuss these things.
Speaker 3: I think back when I was a kid, a working
Speaker 3: class kid on a counselor estate where you know, it
Speaker 3: was all manual workers and.
Speaker 1: The same amount of people were probably depressed. But in
Speaker 1: those days, a bloke, you know, he had a drink
Speaker 1: and went to bed. And you know, I think a
Speaker 1: number of times when that they weren't diagnosed.
Speaker 3: They were depressed, but they didn't.
Speaker 1: Know it, or they didn't want to admit it, or
Speaker 1: there was there was no one to talk to.
Speaker 3: There was just no one to talk to.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's only been in recent times in
Speaker 1: my lifetime.
Speaker 3: Where you know, men can go you.
Speaker 1: Know, I think I'm depressed it's really it's incredible. So
Speaker 1: this shining away from stuff, I've never been one for
Speaker 1: it either commediately automatically, and people want you to go there.
Speaker 3: They want to, They want to go through this. They
Speaker 3: want to. Whether whether we think they do or not,
Speaker 3: they do and they can take it.
Speaker 2: I think, actually, Ricky, I think there's TV show and
Speaker 2: what it really talks about, because actually it starts with
Speaker 2: being about grief. But actually, when I finished watching the
Speaker 2: second season, you will is actually it's about love. And
Speaker 2: I think that goes back a lot of your work.
Speaker 2: If you go back to David Brent and the office.
Speaker 2: Right to me, if I've got it right or certainly
Speaker 2: not my interpretation of it, what does that matter? But
Speaker 2: mind too much. It was a guy that needed a hug.
Speaker 2: It was a guy who was alone, right, struggling, it's scared.
Speaker 1: It all comes down to this. We all want to
Speaker 1: be happy. We don't know how to do it. Sometimes
Speaker 1: we're sold bad advice people. You know, people think that
Speaker 1: fame can make them happy, so they go for that
Speaker 1: and they go, oh, I'm not happy.
Speaker 3: Why am I happy? Well, because you're not doing someone
Speaker 3: you love, You're not you know.
Speaker 1: I think people don't realize that having work is a
Speaker 1: huge thing to tick off before you can feel happy.
Speaker 1: You and h and fame is not the place for it,
Speaker 1: you know that. I see these reality shows where people
Speaker 1: go on there and they're bordering on you know, mental
Speaker 1: illness in a way, and it's not good for them.
Speaker 3: It's not good for them.
Speaker 1: And these people that think, oh, if if I look
Speaker 1: could just be loved and accepted by strange.
Speaker 3: That we have to well know that that's not true either.
Speaker 1: You know, you've got to learn to sort of love
Speaker 1: yourself and know you're okay inside.
Speaker 3: And then there's another problem.
Speaker 1: Because narcissism for people people think, well I just love myself.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, but you but you can't love yourself for
Speaker 3: no reason. You know, You've got.
Speaker 1: So you've got to make yourself a better person to
Speaker 1: then you know, be proud.
Speaker 3: Of yourself in a way.
Speaker 1: So there's all these things, all these things going on
Speaker 1: in our head, right and you know, there's a line
Speaker 1: in this one where Tony says, you know, we're chimps
Speaker 1: with brains the size of a planet. No wonder we
Speaker 1: go mentally. You know, it's hard. It's all these the
Speaker 1: sight or questions that have been they've been invented by
Speaker 1: our evolution.
Speaker 3: Our biological evolution.
Speaker 1: Has not kept up with all the technology and all
Speaker 1: these fads and things. So it is confusing social media
Speaker 1: it amplifies all these problems. It's not normal. So of
Speaker 1: course people feel anxious. Anxious is A is the new
Speaker 1: big illness at the moment. And you're right that all
Speaker 1: it comes down to is people want to be loved and.
Speaker 3: They sometimes they need a hug. And this is literally
Speaker 3: about love as well.
Speaker 1: I realized halfway through, right in the second season, this
Speaker 1: was a love story. It is, you know, it started
Speaker 1: the high concept is A is a you know, fun
Speaker 1: with a missing throb who's lost everything and he can
Speaker 1: say what he wants.
Speaker 3: That's you know, that's that's actually the eye first.
Speaker 1: But actually it is a love story between a man
Speaker 1: and his wife. It's as simple as that. And again
Speaker 1: all his confusions, he doesn't he's going through the seventh
Speaker 1: stages of grief. We hit the ground running with sort
Speaker 1: of like denial, shock, anger. Now he's going through negotiations saying, so, okay,
Speaker 1: why why should I stay around?
Speaker 3: It? Ask the big.
Speaker 1: Question if you lose everything, his life's worth living? And
Speaker 1: he keeps He asked himself that question every day. And
Speaker 1: he needs reasons. He needs reasons to stay alive. And
Speaker 1: he's trying. He's trying stuff. In the first season he
Speaker 1: tried violence and drugs didn't help. Now he's trying kindness
Speaker 1: and you know, and again it doesn't always work, because
Speaker 1: it's got to be real. If you know you've got
Speaker 1: you've got to feel good in your own head. That's
Speaker 1: all that matters. It doesn't matter what's happening outside.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what stunny or rain, doesn't matter. There's
Speaker 3: a war on. If you're not good in your own head,
Speaker 3: you're not good. That's it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought at the end of it, especially the
Speaker 2: last three episodes of season two, it felt like it
Speaker 2: was a love letter to love. You know, the love
Speaker 2: you have for your friends, the love you have for
Speaker 2: hopefully your partner. And when it's not there, what is grief.
Speaker 2: It's the it's the yearning, it's the betting for the
Speaker 2: love that is still there in you but not obviously
Speaker 2: externally and around you. Then trying to find your way
Speaker 2: into a new love. And the last line, I don't
Speaker 2: want to ruin it for people who haven't seen it,
Speaker 2: yet the last line just flawed me. I literally just
Speaker 2: open me up. It was one of the most beautiful lines.
Speaker 2: It comes out of nowhere and it's so tender, well done. Ricky.
Speaker 2: I think it's your. I actually think it's not you.
Speaker 2: It's your most personal work so far. And I don't
Speaker 2: think you could have written this and performed it so
Speaker 2: well twenty or thirty years ago, because I get the
Speaker 2: feeling that when we get into the kind of second
Speaker 2: half of our lives, you want to try and make
Speaker 2: sure you're saying all the stuff that's actually really important.
Speaker 3: That's absolutely right.
Speaker 1: You suddenly realize that although cliches the cliches for a.
Speaker 3: Reason, they're absolutely true. They're absolutely true, that the.
Speaker 1: Big things are things like love and oneness and kindness
Speaker 1: and all these things. It's like, you know, you have
Speaker 1: to Everyone knows it deep down, but they have to
Speaker 1: go through it and realize that it's uh.
Speaker 3: And if you can, you.
Speaker 1: Know, the earlier you realize that that, I think the
Speaker 1: better life you'll have. But it is hard because there's
Speaker 1: there's so many there's so many I don't know, diversions.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: The new thing about it was fame and people fell
Speaker 4: for it. They thought fame would make them happy. And
Speaker 4: also now with social media, everyone's living a line and
Speaker 4: everyone's believing it. People see, you know, people with these
Speaker 4: amazing filters next to a bot that isn't there, and
Speaker 4: people go, well, I'm a failure.
Speaker 3: I'm a failure. Then I need abbs in a boat.
Speaker 3: Now you don't. You don't need abs in a boat.
Speaker 3: You need friends. That's what you need, and you need honesty.
Speaker 3: And when I when I was growing up, right as
Speaker 3: I say, I was the.
Speaker 1: Fourth child of an immigrant labor on a counselor state,
Speaker 1: a poor counter state. We had no money at all,
Speaker 1: and my mum was a you know, a homemaker and
Speaker 1: she could do everything she could.
Speaker 3: She grew a verst.
Speaker 1: Well she'd cooked, she's sold, she made clothes, she decorated,
Speaker 1: she did everything with no money. And she gave me
Speaker 1: everything except money, right, and that made me realize that
Speaker 1: the best things were free. That was nature, learning and friends.
Speaker 1: And that hasn't changed. It hasn't changed.
Speaker 3: It never will. It just never will.
Speaker 2: And you know the end, But what a tiny mine
Speaker 2: because actually with it, I think the messages to come
Speaker 2: out of after like season two are actually just what
Speaker 2: the world needs right now, because as we're forced to
Speaker 2: go inside our houses and making us go inside and
Speaker 2: spend time with ourselves, and most of us don't want
Speaker 2: to do that. You find any which way of spending
Speaker 2: actually time with yourself because stuff starts coming up about
Speaker 2: you know, are you happy in life? What's it all about?
Speaker 2: The struggle of it all? And actually, right now we're
Speaker 2: being forced to do that. So I think this is
Speaker 2: the perfect time for your show to come out.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think people are probably speaking to their
Speaker 1: family more than they did. You know, you're certainly concerned,
Speaker 1: and you think, oh, yeah, that's important.
Speaker 3: I want them around, don't I don't want anything to
Speaker 3: happen to them? And I totally agree. And it does
Speaker 3: make you reflect and you want to if you miss
Speaker 3: the things you didn't know you missed. I don't pot
Speaker 3: around the shots.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to now I can't. It's like it's
Speaker 1: it's it's it's yeah.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and this show is about that as well.
Speaker 1: This shows about the mundane being important, and the ordinance
Speaker 1: being extraordinary and and a tiny life.
Speaker 3: Everyone's got up.
Speaker 1: Everyone's life is their universe, and we're all the same.
Speaker 3: We're all the same.
Speaker 5: And as soon as you realize, as soon as you
Speaker 5: really get true empathy, you sort of go towards one
Speaker 5: this as soon as you realize that even though you
Speaker 5: think you're having the worst day ever, that everyone thinks,
Speaker 5: you certainly.
Speaker 3: Start thinking, maybe my life's not the bad. Maybe there's
Speaker 3: that saying, isn't.
Speaker 1: It that if the world got together and put all
Speaker 1: their problems in the hat, and it took them out
Speaker 1: and experienced everyone else's life, they'd want to return with
Speaker 1: their own problems. They'd want to take their own problems
Speaker 1: home with them, the ones they've put in the hat.
Speaker 3: And I think I think it's true. I think it's true.
Speaker 2: I you know, they say, and obviously you do right
Speaker 2: about what you know. And this is where you are
Speaker 2: in your life right now, and you're reflecting your stand
Speaker 2: up and then your work as well. I know last
Speaker 2: year because I actually sent you an email going where
Speaker 2: did you get the mop from? On social media? You
Speaker 2: are very excited you brought some new amazing mop. I'm
Speaker 2: watching After Nice season two, and when the character starts
Speaker 2: talking about this amazing mop and it starts going into
Speaker 2: so much detail, I'm thinking, that's your that's your mop.
Speaker 3: I dislike the idea, but it's you know, people would
Speaker 3: be annoyed at a thoughtless present because it's suggested that
Speaker 3: they're the ones that's going to do the mopping.
Speaker 1: And that was obviously the comedity, which she's feeling sorry
Speaker 1: for herself. Yeah, and I like the juxtaposition that she
Speaker 1: suddenly realized that she's moaning about getting a mop and
Speaker 1: not being happy yet at thirty and she's talking to
Speaker 1: a man who's just lost his wife that as well,
Speaker 1: And again it was an ined for her to say
Speaker 1: she feels sorry to him for saying, oh, sort of
Speaker 1: just be happy. And that was an important issue that
Speaker 1: I learned from all the reactions to series one, because
Speaker 1: I realized that I had to treat it responsibly because
Speaker 1: people suddenly identified with the grief. I couldn't just have
Speaker 1: him snap out of it, because that's not real. You
Speaker 1: don't just get better, you don't just you know, many
Speaker 1: times I tweeted once that saying to someone with depression
Speaker 1: to just snap out of it is rather like saying
Speaker 1: for someone just stop having cancer.
Speaker 3: It's not that easy, you know. And so that was
Speaker 3: that scene. But yes, I did buy him Mark. I
Speaker 3: was very excited by it, and it worked. A tree
Speaker 3: worked a tree. Thanks for asses.
Speaker 2: That's all right, And so are you? Are you enjoying
Speaker 2: the lack of meetings because in your line of work
Speaker 2: on one of the worst is is you have to
Speaker 2: have a lot of meetings, And are you enjoying that
Speaker 2: now you can do quite a lot of them on
Speaker 2: zoom and still get stuff done.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 3: I absolutely love it. I'm doing more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think the world has realized that
Speaker 1: you don't need to get on a plane to go
Speaker 1: and have a meeting now, and you haven't really needed
Speaker 1: to for about ten years.
Speaker 3: So I am happy with that. The only thing, you
Speaker 3: know what, the only thing I'm.
Speaker 1: Missing, obviously, you know, I want to roll around with
Speaker 1: dogs on how to teeth, but you can't because people.
Speaker 3: Are a bit nervous at the moment. But I suppose
Speaker 3: the gigs it's an inconvenience.
Speaker 1: Though, And I was really loving the tour and going
Speaker 1: to different places and experience it.
Speaker 3: You know, but listen, you know you can't complain. We're
Speaker 3: just postponing it. It's like we do it next year
Speaker 3: where ever. Wee feels good and things are back to normal.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm fine.
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely fine, And this is the.
Speaker 3: Time that you realize that you really do you do
Speaker 3: have to.
Speaker 1: I never want anyone to complain about the NHS again.
Speaker 1: I never want to hear people complaining about the way
Speaker 1: or nurses or doctors or.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, anyone on the front line.
Speaker 1: I just think we've got to remember that we we
Speaker 1: clapped them, and that that should always be there.
Speaker 3: They should be you know, the New Year's Honors list
Speaker 3: should not go to celebrities this year. It should go
Speaker 3: to those people.
Speaker 1: What a great idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it should only go to those people every year,
Speaker 2: the heroes.
Speaker 3: It should go exactly, it should those people. Anyway, give
Speaker 3: it to someone who gave a kidney to a stranger.
Speaker 1: Don't give it to someone who invented a new type
Speaker 1: of mascara.
Speaker 2: You know, has it ever gone to someone who's got masco?
Speaker 2: I'm going to google it.
Speaker 6: When I.
Speaker 1: Know I've seen people uh given a knighthood services to
Speaker 1: fashion want the.
Speaker 6: Services to go and then great in my life, I mean,
Speaker 6: it's Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3: Ob services to a man who invented the.
Speaker 1: Money people who are finding cure for cancer and ads and.
Speaker 3: It's not that hard.
Speaker 2: Are you finding a lockdown, Ricky that you go into
Speaker 2: your fridge a lot more? Are you trying to be disciplined.
Speaker 3: I'm not. I am trying to be disciplined.
Speaker 1: And in fact, we've been ordering uh you know, sort
Speaker 1: of you know, are groceries we haven't been doing.
Speaker 3: We haven't been doing like you know, christ and nuts
Speaker 3: to keep us.
Speaker 1: In fact, I might even have had a bit less
Speaker 1: to drink because I've been going to bed earlier, so
Speaker 1: you know, and I've been getting the same amount of exercise.
Speaker 3: I'm doing a ma run or whatever, but making bad
Speaker 3: with me in the garden. And you know what it feels.
Speaker 3: It feels pressure that the air feels better, the less pollution,
