Speaker 3: I know you turned fifty last year. I hit fifty

34
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 3: this year. How are your fifties treating you?

35
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: I'm okay with fifty. I mean I liked fifty as

36
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: a number because there's a solid yes, yeah, it's an

37
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: Innings forty. It stopped me having a party, and the

38
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: COVID thing because of the timing of us meant we

39
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: could have a bash. Because I really want to make

40
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: a speech of fifty, because I think the speech of

41
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: fifty is probably the last unconditionally great speech you can make.

42
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: Because the speech is sixty.

43
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 2: What's what's going to happen at sixty?

44
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Somewhere at some point you're turning to a different woman

45
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: and going, hey, just wanted to hank you, you know,

46
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,400

00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: been with meting some difficult times, you know, but I

48
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: think fifty is the last clear it's all been great.

Speaker 1: The show's got a real kind of a bit of

54
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: a hard to other thing to it because normally come

58
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 3: bang bang bang with the funny, funny, funny.

59
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: Musical, honestly, because this one has a kind of a

60
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: you know, there's a bit of a kind of emotional

61
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: thing with Dli. The family story. It's an adoption story

62
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: to finding.

63
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: So you are you now talking about that? I know

64
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: you're talking about that.

65
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: And it turned out to be when I did the

66
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: whole thing trying to be an amazing story, these little

67
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: weird twists and stuff like that, like there, and so

68
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: it trying to be really interesting to do this because.

69
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: So if people don't know anything about it, you just

70
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 3: southing amazing. Is it going to give anything away from

71
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: the show?

72
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, let me hold back the thing from within it.

73
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: But like I did do the search for all that, like.

74
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: And they're going to wonder what you're searching for, the

75
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: search for cant.

76
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,440

00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: certain age or heading stain angel?

80
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: Just something you felt like weirdly, they went to see

81

Speaker 1: Coogan film Beautiful about about the mother who gave the

83
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: child up never knew what happened. So you want to

00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: find out your biological mother's version of the story. Yeah, no,

85
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,120
