It was like, "You, out." - Fam? - Fam! - That's fair. - Fam! - That's fair. - Fam! - Oh God.

- Guys. - Girls. Unison. - Yeah, we did it. - In unison. - We did it, it is. - We did it and we needed that. Guys, we did, we accomplished a huge feat last week and we completed the O2. - We did complete the O2. - Wow. - I will say I didn't actually, I thought,

Obviously I knew we were doing it, but I feel like saying it and actually doing it are two completely different things. Two completely different jobs. I said to you in the dressing room before, I was like, ugh, like I didn't actually see us get to this point. I just assumed thunder, like flood warning, like some kind of threat on the building that we had to postpone. Like someone would break their leg. And that's why I bought all these out of...

All these out of studio log cabin episodes we've been doing recently. Every time when I say, I was convinced one of us was going to hurt ourselves to stop us doing the show. I didn't actually think we would do the O2 show. But yeah, it was good, bro. And then this is the first show that we had to do like rehearsals. Proper rehearsals. And I'm not going to lie to you. I didn't let it on. I was not confident after those rehearsals. Really? Not confident. What were you confident about? Just the fact that

We didn't do a clean run through without one of us being like, that needs changing. This needs changing. That needs changing. Like, even though, yo, we went through it, went through it, went through it again. And every time there was at least like two or three bits where we're like, I'm not happy with this, not happy with that. But on the day, it just landed. Your boys do what we need to do when the lights are on. Long story short. I think the weirdest thing for me was obviously,

We obviously did the show. During the show is minor. These fucking full disclosure, these in-ear things, I don't wanna see them again for the rest of my life. I fucking hate them. They're necessary obviously because the show runner will whisper sweet nothing in there and tell you when you're going wrong and tell you what's coming next and what to look out for and all this kind of shit. It's helpful, but fucking hell, bruv.

hurt my ear and it was dodgy and it was just so uncomfortable. - It was getting moist as well. - Oh bro. - Because of the sweat. - And you also can't hear the crowd. So I took one out for the whole thing. You can't hear anything. So when you got them in, it completely blocks out your ears. I can hear him. I can hear the band. I can hear the show runner. You can't hear anything else. - You can hear like little bits of like noise. It drowns it out so much. - As soon as I did that, that got dashed out my ear. One in one out, pause. But yeah.

Doing a show, all good, all good. But for me, I still don't think it's really sunk in. But for me, the only part that makes me feel like, is like the next day when I open TikTok, I'm scrolling through TikTok because the way my TikTok is, is like anytime someone's come to London to do a show, like if Nicki Minaj is doing a show, if I can...

Future's doing a show, Drake's doing a show, Chris Brown's doing a show. The next day, my TikTok will be Bryson. Bryson did his shows last month. The next day is always like, POV Bryson Tiller Show, POV Bryson Tiller Show, POV Bryson Tiller Show. And I'm like, oh, cool, cool, cool, cool. Bro, when I'm opening my own phone and seeing POV Shits and Gigs Show, POV Shits and Gigs Show, POV Shits and Gigs Show, I was like, oh!

I felt so watched. I was like, oh, that's fucking weird, bro. But it was cool. It was good. You were on form. One thing I will say, Fiyad was on form. Fiyad was on form, bro. That's the best show you've ever done. Yeah. I said to you, man, before, and this is...

not to like toot my own horn or anything, but it's the most confident and least anxious I've ever felt before a show, considering it's the biggest show we will ever do or that we have done till date. There was something about my mental shift and I just wasn't gonna let the pressure get the best of me. - That's the best you've ever performed. - When I say I enjoyed my time on stage. - I saw bro. - I enjoyed my time on stage.

After, I was very, very nervous before the first rehearsal. Like I was thinking, fuck anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, anxiety. And you know what I'm like before every show, you man all know I'm like before every show, I fucking hate it. I need breathing exercise. I need all of this. I'm sweating already. And like, you're the calm one. I'm the jittery one. As soon as you get on stage, it's calm. But yeah, man, it was one of those ones where

I think, selfishly, the reason why I wasn't as nervous slash anxious was because the bulk part of the show was story time. God, don't remind me. And I was like, that removes so much away from me in a positive way that I could relax and I could actually sink my teeth into this show and fully be myself from start to finish, you know? And it showed on stage. Like, it was...

Words couldn't describe how gassed I was. But I would say when, you know, when we were walking out from backstage to the B stage and we sat down before we went up the stairs, I closed my eyes, obviously my inner is waiting so I couldn't really hear much. I took like three deep breaths and I was like,

okay, we're here. And then as soon as the show went, I was like, all right, 10 seconds before you go up, I was like, okay, cool, cool. Yeah, I remember that bit. I remember that bit, yeah. Cool, cool, cool. I was like, I was just thinking to myself, just like rehearsals, just like rehearsals, just like rehearsals. And literally as soon as we got on stage, on the B stage, flares went up, hailing, hailing, hailing, and everyone was screaming. I was like, we can't go back now. We can't go back now. We're here. And I feel like as soon as,

As soon as I was like, oh everyone sit down, everyone sit down and everyone actually sat down. I knew we could command the room and it just felt light. And then it just started to take over. Just like to take her from the pictures to the rhyme time, to the confessions, to the story time, to the, it just landed bro. - Yeah. I think my biggest fear was that obviously when we do the other shows in the theaters and stuff, you can, theaters are kind of different. You can't really see everyone in the back, but like when you're trying to have like an intimate moment, like it's,

to be a dickhead and like still chat and talk over you because everyone knows exactly who's the one doing it. So we can see them doing it. Everyone around them can see them doing it. There's no one really to hide. In an arena, I was thinking, bro, like,

if we're like cool, let's sit down. There could be like a thousand people chatting. No, what are you gonna do about it? There's nothing you can do about it, bro. So I remember thinking, fuck, my biggest fear is if we try and do something intimate, like a fucking half an hour story time, I was thinking, bro, these man are gonna be chatting. - But it really helped with the breakouts we had, obviously the dancing in between the different songs in between the auto tune.

And obviously, shout out Kaio. The animation was incredible. That broke everything up. It was perfect, man. Story time was perfect, bro. Cool. Right. Elephant in the room. Ellis came on stage. Yeah!

- Yeah bro. - Yeah, with his suede shoes like a boss. - Absolute final boss bro. Talk to us through your emotions. Talk to us through your thoughts before you go on stage, after you go on stage. Let us know, let the people know man. - Yeah man. So yeah, beforehand,

I was bricking it. - Yeah. - I was fucking bricking it. - We knew. - And I knew everyone knew. - We knew bro. - I was just quiet. - You were silent for so long. - I came in, I was just like, even with the fucking elevator prank, I was just like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just agreeing because I was fucking nervous. - Oh, that makes me feel bad. - For context. - For context. - Oh, context, yeah. We were in rehearsals and I get a call from Ellis

saying, "I'm outside, how do I get in?" kind of thing. And I was just in a dickhead mood and I was like, "All right, sick, cool. Here's what you need to do. There's a rainbow staircase to your left. You need to go up the rainbow staircase. When you get there, there's an elevator. There'll be one button that has a fire symbol on it. I need you to press it. And when you press it, you say like Alakazam or something like that. And then the doors are gonna open. You get in, it's gonna take you three stories below the O2 and then there'll be a secret tunnel for you to get here." And he was like, "Whoa."

Damn crazy and I was thinking how is he still letting me talk like this? Ala Kazam! Kazam in Cresabam! I was like cool cool cool. Okay cool yeah. - Yeah I didn't want to call you up on it. 'Cause when you said fire symbol I thought oh cool alarm's gonna go off. But then I was like I can't say anything 'cause I'm not nervous. I'm like just get me to, 'cause you did say rainbow staircase and I thought

There was literally a staircase to my left, which was weird. And I was like, is it just called the rainbow staircase? Like, I didn't know. I was just believing anything. I was believing anything. Bro, nah, man. Yeah. You came on for the rhyme time. And I, when you came on, I was thinking, this is stressful. Was you nervous for me? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Where's you, Rem?

- No, not as much as they make their own. - I was nervous for you because for one, you did the rehearsals with us on the rehearsal day, but you didn't do it on stage. - Okay, true. - Where like, you didn't know that there was like an ex here. - I got told that though. - Oh, you got told it? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I forgot his name, he was lovely.

I forgot his name, but he showed me. The guy, the main guy. - RJ? - I think it was Jay. - Yeah, so. - He showed me. - Yeah, but yeah, because you hadn't done it on stage. - Yeah, yeah. - Like Harry did his on stage and you could tell it like, it just.

was so much easier for him because he knew exactly where he was coming out from here. I'm standing here. This is going to be here. Everything is here. So like that was like, I could tell because he had that. It was like, okay, cool. So you hadn't really had that. Well, that I was there for. And then what was it? The thing, randomly, the thing that made me nervous for you is that Darkest was shook backstage. But when he came on,

but he's a performer. So he like over performed through his nerves and he like landed. And I was like, oh damn. But like, that's just not who you are as a personality. So like, if you were doing what Darkus is doing, I would've been like, are you all right, bro? Like, what's all this dancing stuff? Yeah, what's all this?

- Yeah, exactly. - So yeah, because you don't even have that opportunity to be like, well, let me just play on it more and just be over the top. - 'Cause everyone will know. - Everyone will be like, what is this? - What are you doing? - So for that reason, I was a bit nervous then,

When the final round got announced, I think it was actually Darkest, I think. It was like, oh, so we're all back in, yeah? And then we were like, okay, cool, we're all back in. I remember thinking, oh, fuck, he's fucked. Only because one, you had some ready to go. I knew you had, because you already knew what the rhyme was, you had some ready to go. But for one...

I didn't even know which ones you had because I never expected myself to make it to the final round. So I knew I didn't need to know what rhymes you had, what words to avoid. - It was meant to be me versus Ellis. - Yeah, it was meant to be just you two. - That was what it was meant to be. - Yeah, 'cause you were final. - So I was like the odds of stepping on each other's toes are so slim in that regard. But when all four of us are playing, I was thinking you could have like three rehearsed

And then You're fucked Yeah you do yours And then Harry does one That you were gonna do I do one that you were gonna do Fear does one that you were gonna do Dark is the one that you do And then it would come back to you again You're like oh fuck But you made it to the final Of the final It's part of the game man Bro It's part of the game When you did the Suggest Yeah That was the first one Yeah yeah yeah You smashed it bro You did bro I really enjoyed it man You absolutely fucking smashed it What was your feeling like Two questions What was your feeling like Or your emotions like When you heard the crowd scream Yeah

It was fucking crazy. That place was shaking. It was from when it just said Ellis on the screen. Yes, bro. I heard a few murmurs. Like, do you know when you said Final Boss, I heard a few murmurs like...

Like that, a little bit. And I was like, yes, you are correct. And then, yeah, and then when it came on screen, I heard it. Yeah. And then I went, and I thought, fucking, let's go. They were screaming, bro. It was sick. Screaming. It was amazing. It was like completely overwhelming, but it was sick though. Nice. I loved it. Nice. This is the thing, like, I can't remember who said it to me. I think it was,

I want to say it was Megan, but I can't remember. Someone said to me before I went on, they were like... Obviously, they could tell I was nervous. And they were like, just soak it in. They said, it's literally going to go really fast. It's like...

like you're gonna do this by once, like just soak it in. Do you know what I mean? Just fucking go in the moment and soak it in. It was just fun. So that's it. I tried not to take it too seriously. Like, cause I did rehearse, but I even said to you, I was like, as soon as I get up there, I'll forget. And I did. The ones what I did, other than the crowd one, were just off the top. I just fucking made it up. Cause I was just like, I knew it was gonna happen. I can't remember what your second one was, but I was like, Jesus Christ, what's going on? The only ones I can remember is,

So I did the test and then I did- - You did suggest. - Suggest. - You did another elaborate one. - The other one was progressing through my storyline like I'm on my Kanye quest. I think that was the second one. - That's exactly what it was. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - That made me turn my back. - Yeah, you had bars. - Yeah, you had bars, bro. - It was cool. - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It was good, man. It was really fun.

- Oh boy, I bottled it the first round. - Yeah you did. - And I was ready to keep going and I just lost, it was a tongue twister bro. I bottled the whole thing and I was like, fuck. And what made me laugh is because when we were doing rehearsals, no one bottled nothing. So I felt like the only way we're gonna end rounds is if we have to pretend to flop. And in the first round, I had no intention of flopping bro.

bottled it down bottled it I was like fuck charged but also relieved yeah yeah yeah relieved when you made it to the final I was like it's long for me best of luck best of luck because all eyes are on me and the youngest person I could see sweat on your brow it was long I didn't want to make it that far but you know the game's the game's the game how do you feel when you're walking off like how do you feel after the moment

I felt great after. Like, I just, I could relax then. Once it was done, because like, like the whole day I was nervous. Night before I was nervous. I didn't eat at all. On the O2 day, I ate nothing. Like, if I'm nervous, my appetite goes. Same, same, bro. Absolutely goes. I'll feel sick and everything. Like, I won't eat. So I literally had nothing. As soon as I came off, I said, I need some food. Yeah.

- I think I got crisps or something straight away. I was like, just get me some food. I could just relax after that. So then I just chilled. I just chilled in one of the boxes and then I could just enjoy the show after that. I was kind of glad it was at the beginning.

because I think if it was like end of show or near the end the anticipation would have been horrible so I'm glad it was sort of just like I remember when you came on stage and they were like yeah you're going to be on in like five minutes I was like oh shit okay cool straight away but the only thing I found difficult I said it to you earlier like I couldn't hear you guys properly because I don't have a thing

I had to basically guess what words you were saying. - Yeah, 'cause you're hearing, because the way it's set up, even though the speakers are here, they face outwards. So you can't hear what we've said until the sound has traveled to the back of the arena and then back here. 'Cause I had one out,

I can obviously hear through my inner, I can hear myself from my inner, but then half a second later, I can hear what I've just said. - Oh, delayed. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're like, oh shit. So yeah, without that, you can't hear nothing, bro. - I had to get, 'cause I had one where I was gonna say, and it popped up in my head, I was gonna say, "Here are the O2 Waving To My Kanye Guests."

But I thought, yeah, you said guess, but then I was like, did he say guess? 'Cause I don't know. So basically I had to just get rid of that one. 'Cause I was like, if I say it and I'm out, I've ruined this whole thing. So I had to just guess a lot of the time, like what people were saying. Oh yeah, it was difficult. - But it was good though. - Fair play, man. - Bro, you smashed it. - It was fun. I really, really enjoyed it. - I'm happy you, first of all, agreed to do it. I'm happy that

prior to doing it, you're already on this like journey of building your confidence and this is like taking it to another level. - The timing was crazy. - The timing was perfect. - Yeah, to be fair, I had a lot of messages which I really appreciate. Just saying like, fucking hell, you just literally went in front of like 15,000 people, like your confidence has clearly grew. Like I wouldn't fucking do that. Like loads of people were saying to me like, do you think I'll do that? Like, no. Like, do you know what I mean? I'm never doing that in a million years.

so yeah it was just fun i just tried to keep it light and have fun with it you know what i mean well played indeed yeah man i was um i really enjoyed it even along with yourself like darkest and harry when their intros came up wrong the screen the screams were it was amazing which made me so happy yeah because i think as well that was one thing that they were worried about is that like it will come up and everyone's like

- Yeah, like who gives a fuck? But like as soon as the name comes roaring bro. And I was like sick. - It was sick man. - And it was nice as well because like, I think the way weirdly enough, I don't remember hearing anything when we were doing our entrance.

So like, I'm sure that it was noisy when we did our entrance. - Oh, the initial, initial entrance. - Initial entrance. - I can't hear a thing. - Yeah, I can't hear nothing. - Right. - So like to be on stage and actually hear what it must sound like when they're actually going nuts. I was like, oh, that's so cool. That is really, really cool.

- But yeah, thank you for doing that. If they're watching, thank you to Darkest for doing that. Thank you to Harry for doing that. They smashed it. - They did. - And fucking, that segment went really well. - It went really well. - I was really worried about it. Really worried about it. And it was nice to be able to obviously chat to the composers and be like, slow down, slow down, slow down. Because when it came in- - Oh! - Yeah, hot, tempo four? - Yeah, I was like, no, no, no, I can't do it. - Slow down, that's Eminem flow. It's too much, it's too much. - But yeah, speaking of the composers,

When I say these man made the show. The composers are a different level of band. Different level, bro. Different level of band and...

If we hadn't even suggested, oh, let's have a live band at the show. I don't know how the show would have turned out in terms of production value because it changed the tempo of everything. It added so much value. And obviously they've worked and played together, paused for so long. And it's like, they know each other. They know when to start, when to like, for them to even, when we went to practice the,

of Rhyme Time Game on the Thursday, they came up with that tempo on the fly, quickly. - On the spot, bro. - They're so in sync, it's crazy. - Bro, it's nuts. And like the, my favorite, like one of my favorite parts of the, like the entire show was the keyboard during Confessions. And that wasn't even scripted, bro. - Improv, in practice. - In practice. Bro, when we were doing it in practice, like we were just doing it and then he just randomly started doing it. And I was like,

Never stop playing that melody, never. - It was beautiful. - Bro, and they're so sick that the music director, like on the day, on the day, like an hour before we were supposed to come on, on the day, as we're doing soundcheck, he was like, "Oh, because of the confession song, they're just gonna fuck around with the confession song. With the melody you're doing now, it needs to transition into confessions."

Like say it just can. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Like say you, and he was like, yeah, cool. And then bro, started off a normal melody and then just transitioned it into fucking, I was just confessing, bro. Oh, bro, bro, I don't think you might understand how excited I was when he started playing that thing. It made the whole segment, bro. - The whole thing. - It made the whole fucking segment. I was so, I'm gonna get emotional. I was so gassed, bro. - The composers, wow. - Bro, they made the whole thing. - Let's round of applause for composers.

- Bro. - They were sensational, man. - Yeah, so sick. - Sensational. - And yeah, just the auto-tune stuff was really, really good. And just like... - Fuck. - Yeah. As you man know, Elephant and the Rat, I was stressed about story time. - Yeah, obviously. - I was...

- I was so stressed about it. And it made me more stressed because I knew you were relying on me to do it, to give you like that cushion. I was thinking this has to land, this has to land. And I was so in my head about like, I was saying to you on the day, like I got so wrapped up with all the extra bullshit that we threw at it, that I had convinced myself that people were coming to watch the extra bullshit.

So when I'm like, oh, this is like a half an hour segment where I'm just talking, telling a story. I'm thinking, when we were going through rehearsals, I was like, how long was it? How long was it? How long was it? And they're like, oh, it's like 25 minutes, 30 minutes. I was thinking, bro, I can't talk for 30 minutes. These man's gonna get bored. And then I spoke to my brother before and he was like, hey Finn. I was like, I'm cool, I'm cool, I'm cool. I was like, to be honest, I haven't really spoke to anyone about it. The only thing I'm stressed out about is this fucking story time. For one, because it's all me talking. And for two, like, I just feel like people are gonna get bored. And he was like, bro, you realize that like-

All these dancers on fire and band and shit, like no one knows that's even there. The closest thing that they can possibly imagine to what to expect for today is probably this thing that you're thinking they're gonna get bored of. And I was like, fair, Bollywood. - Very true. - Facts. - Bollywood twist. - Facts, facts. - And I was like, oh, okay. And then when he said that, I was like, no shade on my brother. I don't look to my brother to calm my nerves ever, but it's just the fact that he just came with it. And I was like,

- Fair. - And also, like, I understand the pressure and I understand the fear aspect of it. You are really good at stories. - Thank you. - So I understand it's like, the scale of it is crazy and like the focus is like, oh my God, they're gonna get bored, they're gonna get bored.

you played so well into it. So well, especially at the beginning where you're like, all right, shh. Like little things like that helped. I think that helped you more than help than anything else. You know, you were just in your zone, you were in your element. And as soon as you started to reel it off, I feel like maybe I'm seeing it because I wasn't the one saying it, saying the story, but I felt like you were just talking to me as opposed to like talking to 15,000 people. Appreciate it, bro. And it flowed well in my eyes. I think that's what, for one,

You know what I said a minute ago about this scene, like I feel so watched. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Bro, I say TikTok, this thing I did, which is obviously just a little joke thing on the fly. I saw a TikTok of it that had like 100,000 likes. And I was like,

Oh God, it's so embarrassing bro. It's just a tiny little thing that I thought would be funny. And then, oh bro, oh God. - It works man. - But yeah, I appreciate it. And then like, I think the only thing I was stressed about as well, 'cause I know I like telling stories regardless if I think I'm good at it or not. I like telling stories, but I am very aware that I have a habit of going off on random tangents during the stories. And because of the animation that we had in the back, I couldn't just veer off into something else. And even if I did veer off into something else,

I had a verbal cue for, so for every page term on that comic book, she needed a specific verbal cue from me. Bear in mind, there was like 20 different pictures. So I had to remember the exact like phrase or word to give her for every single time. - Fuck. - Whilst actually telling a coherent story. - I did not know that. - Yeah, so I was stressed, stressed because if I jumped the gun or if I missed a bit, da da da,

she can't skip two pages. She has to go through each page. So like if I missed a bit, she'd be like, you'd hear like, skip through, skip through, skip through. And then bro, it would have been fucked. So I was so stressed. - I nearly fucked up the story time as well. - Oh my God. - I nearly fucked up the story time as well. I can't remember what bit it was. - I remember. - So there was a bit where,

The bit where obviously Homegirl has murked me off now about the new guy. And then-

I turn to you and I'm saying, this is where you come in. And you were supposed to be like, we needed to go out. We need to do this. We need to do that. - And I was talking about the hub. 'Cause that's the second part I interjected. I was like, fuck. 'Cause she was saying in my ear, the show was saying in my ear, no, you're going out, you're going out. You're not going to the hub. You're going out, you're going out. I was thinking, oh fuck, oh fuck, I don't remember. So I just said going out. And then Usher started to play. I was like, okay, cool. I think we're on the same page. I was like, okay, cool, cool, cool. 'Cause I had forgotten about that bit.

'Cause I never rehearsed it. - Yeah, it's true. - It wasn't in my head. - Yeah, it's true. That's the thing as well. In rehearsals, you didn't need to remember where we're at, what we're doing, whatever. - I was just somewhat following your cues, but I completely forgot about that bit. Oh, it made me panic so much because I was thinking I flopped this whole segment. In front of so many people, I flopped this whole segment. But thank God.

- Thank God for Sarah. - I think it's Sarah. - She saved lives. - 'Cause I could see you, I can see you fucking it up. But obviously I can't be like, no, not that bit. I can't say that. So I'm like, and I can hear her like, you're going out, you're going out, you're going out. I was thinking, please hear it. Please hear what I'm hearing. It was making me laugh though. - Oh God. What would you say was your best moment? - Best moment.

- Or like top three, if you have, if you can think of top three moments. - Top three moments was, stupidly enough, I think it actually was this little shushy thing. - Yeah? - That was my favorite thing. Only because it reminded me so much of the smaller shows that we've done. Because I keep thinking, like, I've listened to a lot of podcasts over the years.

And obviously a lot with like comedians and stuff who do stand up and they'll always have that conversation of the transition between going from comedy clubs to performing in theaters and going from theaters to performing in arenas. So like I've listened to hours and hours of commentary and they will always say anything that's in your act for a theater show, don't even bother trying to bring it to arena because it won't land, bro. There's too many people in there. It's not gonna land. So like-

That kind of mentality of like, ah, I tell you man to show up and you show up, that's jokes. Or if I'm less like, shush, shush, shush, shush, shush, shush, shush. And you can hear the room go like, I was like 110% certain that really wasn't gonna land in that show. And when it did, like-

you have no, the sigh of relief that went through me of being like, everyone's tapped in. - Yeah, you can, this is what I said to you at the beginning, when I said everyone sit down, sit down and everyone sat down, we could command the room, bro. - Yeah, bro. And it was mad because obviously with the way the lights are, I can only see like the first three rows. - Yeah, which is perfect. - But I can see the, the only thing I can see the far, far, far back is the lighting on the stairs. - Okay. - So like, and I remember seeing it and I remember thinking,

If I picked up a stone right now and threw it as hard as I could, it's not gonna hit there. Which is fucking, in my head was like, that's wild. If I can't even launch a stone up there, like that's far. And I was thinking, there's no way these men are gonna hear me say lock in, lock in, lock in. Because what is that? They can't even see me. They can see me on the screen, but they can't actually see me sat there. I must be too small. Pause. And-

So that bit was the relief I got when that landed. I was like, it actually is just a normal show. We can just have like a normal time with it. Everything is cool. And like-

- Yeah, it was nice to be like, when we did the confessions as well, and we did the little, every time I was in there, I knew I was gonna be like, I knew I didn't know the words. So I knew on the day I was gonna be very much like, "Bloody, bloody, bloody, blah, blah, baby." - And it landed, everyone was laughing. - Yeah, everyone was laughing. So I was like, "Oh man, this is going." Everyone, we're on the same level, bro. It's all good, it's all good.

So yeah, it made me happy. I was very gassed. I was very, very gassed. Those are my highlights. Like the rest of it was cool. But I don't, when I've been seeing the comments and the TikToks and all this kind of shit, like the grandiose entrance and the, like the rich baby daddy at the end and the dancers, it's just not me. So when I look at it, I don't feel like it's me I'm looking at. But sitting on a chair with you telling a story and like having a joke and like,

saying shit on the fly because like as much as we did rehearsals and stuff and I knew the confession I was gonna read and I knew the story time like the three times I rehearsed it 90% of the content is different every time like the chapters are the same but the way I describe it is different has been different every single time and like that made me feel like cool

It's just like being in here. I genuinely did feel like, it just made me feel like I was in here and somehow the stage was air conned up. Those jackets stayed on until the end. I assumed we were gonna wear them for the first 10 seconds and I will be so hot that I would take it off immediately and it would get tangled on wires and everything would fuck up and all this kind of shit. But like, yeah, it was just very, very nice. It was cool. I still don't think it's landed.

And I don't know if it ever will truly land. - It will. - Maybe. - It will. - Yeah, yeah. But yeah, 'cause I think everyone's asked me like, "Oh, how did you feel when you got off stage? "How did you feel when you got off stage?" I was like, "I didn't feel any different." - We were calm. - Yeah, I didn't feel any different. - We didn't feel anything, yeah. - At no point was I like, "Oh, thank God." I was just like, "Man, cool." - Show's done. - Yeah. - We did it. - Yeah, it was cool. It was good, man. It was really, really nice. And I'm glad people enjoyed it. And I think one thing I was worried about again was that, again, it's one thing wanting to be over the top

But again, because it's so far removed from what people's expectations are, you never know if people are going to be like, I get why you did that. But this is what I signed up for. This is not what I signed up for. And...

No offense, I hated it. That's what I thought. I didn't think that was gonna be the reception, but like for a lot of people, it was the first time they've ever seen us live. A lot of people have seen us live and they've seen us just pretty much sit down for the whole time and do chatting and all that kind of shit. So it's nice for them. If you've already been to three,

and then this one might be a nice change. - Yeah. - Because you've had plenty of opportunities to have us interact with people in the crowd, fucking do story times and the dilemmas and all the other shit that we do that we do in here. But if that's the first time you've ever seen us and you're like, oh, I just wanna be there while they do what they do in here. And then you see that like,

the band and all that shit and the sparklers and all this kind of shit, I was hoping, I was really scared that some people were like, yeah, cool, but the fuck was that? The fuck was that? But so far from what I've seen. - Positive. - Everyone's been like, it was good. It was good. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gassed. That's all I need to say. I'm not gonna talk about it anymore. - What I wanna say is two things. Well, three things. Firstly,

- Love to Axel Blake always for always shelling out our shows every single time. And I've said this to him and I've said this to you man in the studio before, I'm livid because I actually never get to see him perform. - Same. - I never get to see this man perform and he always shells out the crowd 'cause we're always backstage. Obviously you man went to see him at Mosting. - He mucked it. - Yeah, I didn't go that day, I was livid. - Do you remember him?

- Yes I did. - He fucking annihilated it. - Yeah, I bet. - And that was him against, not even against, but he was like near the, towards the end of like what felt like six, seven, eight comedians. - Few of most friends. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So like he smashed it when we saw him there. So I am always gutted that I never get to see his set. - I've seen a few clips. I saw a few clips on like socials post the show

And yeah, the crowd were just loving him and loving. My sister was saying, "Oh, the Axl Blake comedian, hilarious, hilarious, hilarious." I was like, "Gang, so shout out Axl Blake every single time. Shout out the dancers. Like they did their fucking thing, bro." - Touch as well. - Touch, shout out Touch every single time, did his fucking thing. But what I would say my highlights were, I didn't know this was a highlight at the time until I saw it back on socials.

after we obviously we did our intro and then we walked on stage after we like dapped each other up as soon as our shoulders bumped the flares went up exactly the same time really I didn't see exactly I didn't see that the same time it looked incredible it looked incredible that was a very good highlight for me sick I remember when I had that quick charge when there was a music playing I was like charge and it just charged yeah

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was power. - Yeah, I needed to stay cool, I couldn't. I couldn't, I had to smudge you. Charred, bang, stop. - Yeah, that was power. - I was like, oh fuck. - Yeah, that was cool. After like the hype of the intro and stuff, we both did at the same time. I don't know if you clocked, that was cool. I obviously loved the no letting go segment. That was cool. - You smashed it. - And what else?

Another highlight was the confessions when we're going back and forth with the auto-tune. Yeah, I loved, loved that bit. Especially because, again, at that point, I still had both inners in. I think I took it out in between story times when I took it out. So I couldn't really hear the crowd. But obviously watching it back on people's stories, I'm hearing the stadium singing along with us. I'm like, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sick, man. Wow.

but yeah oh what a good show i'm very happy that from the feedback we've gotten so far i'm very happy that the people enjoyed the fans enjoyed the newbies that hadn't seen us before i'm glad you enjoyed too and yeah man yeah it's done now it was fact some it's done now some girl came up to me after and was like straight faced and she was like i have never heard of you before um and

so straight faced and I was just like okay was this in the dance afterwards no after yeah yeah yeah the drink after she was like never ever seen or heard of you before she was like that was banging sick I was like oh that's probably the best compliment all day yeah yeah yeah it was easy if you fuck with it already it's a lot harder to disappoint she was like I came here with no expectation of nothing that was hard nice yeah I was like fair nice I'll take it man gang gang gang I'll take it just before we finish random how was Nobu

This is a paid advertisement for better help. Bro. Talk to me. Real quick. Ask me what my self-care non-negotiables are. What? Grounding. Grounding.

Wim Hof breath work. Yeah. Eight hour sleep. Non-negotiables. Those are three perfect non-negotiables. And I'm proud of you. Thank you very much. I'm very, very proud of you. It's like when people say never skip leg day, but it's never skip therapy day. We all know how easy it is for our schedules to become overwhelmed with social gatherings and other obligations that leave us struggling to make time for the things that fill our own cups. 100%. It's like when your schedule is packed with big work projects and more.

It's easy to let your priorities slip. Even when we know what makes us happy, it can be hard to make time for it.

But guys, when you feel like you have no time for yourself, non-negotiables like therapy are more important than ever. Agreed. And therapy has broader benefits like, for example, learning how to set boundaries in your life so that you feel empowered to be the best version of yourself. Exactly that. With almost 5,000 therapists in the UK already, BetterHelp can provide access to mental health professionals with a wide variety of expertise. Never skip therapy day with BetterHelp.

betterhelp.com slash gigs pod today to get 10 of your first month that's better help h-e-l-p dot com slash gigs pod yeah nova was amazing you mentioned the tomato thing oh yeah yeah i think they inject that with something i i think so you know yeah any context so i'm just saying tamari injects well yeah yeah yeah anyway so i i warned ellis i said to him um i basically said to him

When you go to Nobu, order the breakfast, get the full English, taste these tomatoes. Because they're doing something to these tomatoes. I was like, the concentration of the flavor of these cherry tomatoes doesn't make sense. It...

- It tastes like it's been like either confit or sous vide for hours, but it's not mush. It's still proper. - In its secular shape. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's still like the texture and the shape is still as if it's only been like lightly cooked, but the intensity of the flavor bro is insane. So I was like, I don't, I've asked them multiple times, what's the recipe? And they're just like, it's tomato, isn't it? Like, whatever bro. It's so intense.

- Say less. - So I said to Ed, I was like, obviously you used to work in the kitchen. I wanna know what you think the process is. And I did mention, I think they might inject it with something. - Yeah. I think they do, 'cause I did a little, so I got it high expectation. - Yeah. - Got it room service and stuff. I got it and I was like, okay, first I'm gonna test the integrity. So I got the, I felt I was on fucking hotel hell or something. And then, so I got the fork and I was like,

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pause. But it was good. And then, so yeah, I was testing it and I was like, fucking hell, it actually isn't mush. And I was like, okay, try it. And then, yeah, it just like melts in your mouth. It's weird. Yeah, it's crazy. Because it's like, it's really fucking weird. I genuinely think that, one, it's the produce where they're getting it, where they're sourcing it from. It's clearly like up there. Greedy, yeah. Yeah, like crazy. But yeah, they're definitely injecting it with some concentrated tomato juice.

- Yeah, 100%. - There's something in it. It's amazing. The sausage as well. - Pause, yes. - Yeah, the spices in that. - Yeah, bro. - It's insane. - On a bed of onions? It's different, bro. - This is what I do. - Get yourself a no-brew breakfast when you can. - On a bed of onions? - Yeah, a bed of caramelized onions. - Say less. - Bang it, mate. - Yeah, yeah. - And then we have like a charcuterie board with some cheese, fucking tea, fruit, fresh melon, out of everything.

I went all fucking out. Living like a king, man. Yeah, sick. As you should. It was sick. That has got to be the go-to now. That hotel. Yeah, it's sick, isn't it? That is insane. I'm glad you liked it, bro. Where was that one at? No, there's two now. There's Chelsea and Shoreditch. Yeah, Shoreditch. Banging, bro. Gassed. Nice, man. Well played. I was excited to hear of you. It was good stuff. But it's fucking dark in there, though, isn't it?

- Yeah, but I like it. - Yeah, it's cool. - Yeah, I like it. - It's just mysterious and fucking badass, man. - Sick. - Oh, I'm buzzing, I'm buzzing for you. - Oh, before we even get to the show, one thing I have to say, your grandma, the loveliest woman. For context, guys. - She got me here. - For context, so she came to the After Party obviously to like see her grandson and everything.

the hug she gave me, I was like, this is an amazing hug. This is a grandmother's hug. She's so loving. - So wholesome. - Proper grandma. - Yeah, man. - She was lovely. - Bless her. - She grabbed me, bro. She hugged me. She hugged me so tight. She wanted to take a selfie to show, I don't know who she wanted to show to. - Yeah, she was showing her ex-colleagues, said they're gonna be hating on me. - Come here, come here, come here. We gotta take a selfie, guys. I was like, of course we can do that. - Honestly, she was like chatting with Bella and everything, like hugging Bella and everything.

funny man yeah I remember when she grabbed me first because I forgot you said she was coming I remember thinking

"Who could this possibly be?" - Yes, same. - "Who could this possibly be?" And then as soon as she said it, I was like, "Ah, gang." Big squeeze. - Yeah, man. Bless her. Lovely, lovely. - Off the back of that, your dad as well, bro. - Your dad. First of all, he looks 16 years old. - Yeah. - Firstly- - He's got youth on his side. - Black don't crack. - Clearly, fam.

Delete all that cash. Delete all the cookies. Delete everything. - Oh my God, bro. Next one. Did you mean to post that? Did you mean to post that? - Nah.

Instagram can't open fast enough. - Fast, I'll be refreshing, delete, delete, delete, delete, delete. - Bro, I will not give any context to what it was. People's imagination is to think what they want. There was something, and I posted on my story years ago. And I remember it was you that messaged me and you were like, "Take that down now, bro." - Okay. - Now, 'cause I didn't mean to post it. - Okay. - I think I meant to send it to you. - Okay. - Or to send it

I can't remember, I meant to send it to someone, but you messaged me like, "Take that off your fucking story now, bro." - Okay. - And I was like, "Fuck." And I looked, I was like, "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God." - Okay. - All right, next. What's a text message that you received that made your heart drop instantly? "Your dad is in school looking for you." - Nah. - "Your dad is in school looking for you."

- You know you fucked up. - That's impossible. - You know, 'cause I've been there. - I know you have. - When I was a little thief. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you have. - When I was a little penny thief of the sweets. Oh my days, he's come to my school more than once. - He was in school looking for you. - Yeah. - Wow. - That would be the scariest thing, bro. I remember, yeah, this is not, it's slight tangent. When I was in year 10, year nine or 10, we used to have this thing. I thought I was a bad man in school. I thought I had no fear.

We used to have this thing called like, it was some basically like teacher's bitch day. Okay. There was a day they had finessed child labor somehow was basically a day, one day a year in like year nine or 10 where you and someone else in your form would spend the entire day in the receptionist office. And you'd have to go around doing admin shit, like collecting registers or, you know,

if you need a sick note from someone, you'll go to their class and get it. You're just the teacher's bitch for the day. And it was premised to me as the sickest day ever because every other form tutor that you pick the person you were going to do it with. So everyone else was just with their boy.

chilling all day, fucking around. When they send you, you can just bop round the school, do what you want and you've got a badge. So anytime a teacher sees you, they know you're doing that and you're just like, "Shut up, bro." And you just get, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm collecting register, get the fuck out my face. So like, it was just gang till it was my turn. My form tutor was such an asshole and he was like, "I know you've heard the rumors,

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. You could just pick whoever you want. Ain't fucking happening. 'Cause I know he'll be like, I remember he referenced me specifically. He was like, "I know what's gonna happen. Four of you men are gonna pick James and he's gonna have four days off this year." It's not happening. It's not fucking happening. So I will select the pears, bro. I will be the one selecting the pears. He put me with this girl called fucking, I can't even remember. I think her name was Chantel or something. We hadn't exchanged words.

our entire school tenure. - Damn. - It was the deadest day of my life. So I remember I was like, you know what? Fuck this. - Yeah. - Bro, fuck this. After like the first break, charged it, went to my lesson. And I remember everyone being like, bro, what are you doing here? And I was supposed to be like, bro, it's boring, but I'm not doing it. Like they gassed it up, I'm not doing it. I'd rather be in IT. Bro, halfway through, I'm just there on my computer. I hear fucking

- Look up, my form tutors open the door like that. It was like, you out. Fam? Fam! - That's fair. - Fam! - That's fair. - Fam! - Oh God. - When I say parents, fucking girlfriends, like robbery, nothing has made me scared. - More than that. - Like that, bro. - God. - That slam, you out, bro. I was scared.

I was fucking terrified. And the way I had to keep it cool. - Yeah. - He was like, "You, ow." I remember staring at him like, and then I remember I stood up and I was thinking, "Take your time." - Yeah, yeah. - 'Cause if you stand up too quick, the blood will rush from your head and you'll fucks out. And there's only ones where you're like, you can't walk too quick or too slow. - Yeah. - Bro, I was...

- I fucking shook. - Damn. - So you saying that text, your dad's looking for you. I don't know why that reminds me. His name was Mr. Henderson. It reminds me, he scared me bro, 'cause he used to wear PE shorts. He wasn't a PE teacher. He'd come in and rub his shirt. He wasn't even a PE teacher. - That's crazy. - He taught business studies. - That's crazy. - Yeah, he was liable for anything, bro. - Nah. - He was on anything. - Nah, that's crazy. He wanted to wear PE shorts, not the PE teacher.

- He's trying to show off. - He was ready for anything. - That's hilarious. - Scariest moment of my school life. - Oh God. - All right, cool. What's the text message you received that made your heart drop instantly? I'll be home in 10. Did you remember to take the chicken out the freezer? - Bro, I've got that exact one. - Really? - Wow. - Damn. - That used to be my childhood. - Brother? - Back in primary school, this is when I used to live in Crystal Palace. I remember

It wouldn't even be a text message, bro. Because my mum would have told me before I go to school, because she would go to work before I went to school, take that bitch out the freezer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Obviously you forget because I'm in a rush. I'm running late. I fucked up. And by the time I come home, my first thought isn't chicken out the freezer or meat out the freezer. Yeah, it was eight hours ago. Why are you going to remember? Bro, I'm in the living room watching Dragon Ball Z. So it's not until I heard my mum's car door slam.

is when I'm like, oh shit. Oh, I'm about to get beats. And it's not even her fault. I'm liable for these beats. It used to freak me out, man. It used to freak me out. So stressful, bro. All right. What's a text message that you received that made your heart drop instantly? She found out.

- Nah. - She found out. - Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. - Yeah. - All right. Text message that made your heart drop instantly. I love the person you used to be. - Damn, damn. - It's rough. - That's rough. - Yeah, it is really, really rough. - Oh. - The next one's gonna make you laugh. - You've promised it now. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - What's the text message that you received that made your heart drop instantly? Where you at? Nevermind, I'll find you.

Mine is a piggyback of that. I hope you two enjoy your little ice cream and I hope she likes that shirt I picked out. There's no way I'm on a cheat date with little sidey and I get a text from my girl saying, I hope you two enjoy your little ice cream and the shirt I picked out. No, I would. My head would be doing 360. Pause. I'll be spinning.

- Spinning. - And listen, you said you're nervous and you can't eat. I'll drop the ice cream on the floor. - On the floor. - Yeah, it's not, it's not relevant bro. - Sandra be asking what's going on? - Bro, I wouldn't, oh God, I would want to vomit. - Oh my God. - Bro, I would want to vomit. - What's the text message that you received that made your heart drop instantly? Why haven't you said you love me yet? Don't pressure boys like that. Don't pressure me like that. - It's also self-explanatory. You can't ask me why I haven't said I love you. - Facts. - Self-explanatory, look at yourself.

- Look at yourself. - The next three will spin you. - Cool. Text you received that made your heart drop instantly. Oh, this is the typical one. I've got something to tell you. Can't talk now. - I saw loads of that. I charged that. 'Cause reading that made me anxious. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I was like fuck that. - The PTSD I've got from that, that's what you did to me not even long ago when I had, not that, you ran me four times. Fear doesn't ring me for shit.

Check my phone. I was streaming or something. I was playing the game. Check my phone. I had four missed calls. Building back, didn't answer. And you said, oh, can't talk now or something like that. Yeah, yeah.

Bro, I waited two hours. I said, I can't take it anymore. He said, go. I can't talk now. I'll bail you later. I was like, calm, calm, calm, calm, calm. When I say I was shaking for hours. It's been two hours. He hasn't hit me back or I had to bail you back. Fucking hell, I forgot about that. I forgot about that. All right. What's the text? I'm going to read these back to back to back. I have to. Yeah, go on. What's the text message that you received that made your heart drop instantly? Your test results are ready to collect. Oh my God. Cool. I'll touch back on that one. Number two, the police are outside. Run. No.

- I've never snorted in my life, wow. - The police are outside, run. - That runs nuts bro. - Last one, this baby's definitely yours. - No. - Those three back to back. I don't know which one's worse. - This baby's definitely yours. - Oh, jokes bro. - I'll run through my last year.

Oh God, text messages that made your heart drop instantly. Mom, when you're done doing your homework, come to the living room. Me and your father want a word. - Oh, the homework that night will take me hours. - Next one. You butt dialed me last night where you were out with the boys. Sounds like you really enjoyed yourself. - I wouldn't come home. - I'll be screaming fuck, man. - I wouldn't come home, bro. When you were out with the boys.

Fuck. Oh, fuck. It's all over. She knows, bro. Last one. Text that you received that made your heart drop instantly. I've been here. The hey boo text from my hairstylist just before my appointment. Oh, yeah.

- That's so jarring. - My barber never has a reason to text me. Once we've confirmed the time and date, if I ever see his name up on a text, I'm livin'. - Yo, bro. - Yo, bro. Yo, G, hope you're well. Anyway. - Facts, yeah. - Let's get the pleasantries out the way. - It's not gonna happen.

- Yes, it's rough stuff. - Rough bro. - But anyway guys, welcome back. - Welcome back indeed. - Thank you for coming. - Facts. - If you like this show, if you wanna watch more, if you wanna see us do stuff outside of the studio, please head over to patreon.com/shitsandgigs and contribute three pound a month. - Send me a day. - Run the P. - S and G. - And you will indoctrinate yourself into the babies. You'll be a true baby. And that's nothing, there's literally nothing else we need to say.

Babies get all the perks. They do. When you're a baby, you get special treatment. We do. Bottom bitch treatment. So enjoy that. Pause. Yes, you do though. If you're watching on YouTube, please subscribe to the channel. If you are listening on any audio platform, please, please, please, please, please leave us a nice review. Five stars is obviously preferable, but whatever you say. Save your chest. And before we get into it, I have something to say. So I told you guys a little while ago that...

I was on my Gary Brekker shit. And I was, for one, I got my methylation test done. - Yes, yes, yes, yes. - I need to go through the results properly. When I say these man send you graphs and bear science chat. - Stuff that you can't really understand. - You can't, so I've gone my best to go through it and pick out the layman's terms.

And they do give you like supplement recommendations at the end. I haven't got that far. It's pages of it. Sorry to cut you off. I did the same thing with another company for the life of me. I can't remember what it's called. Again, same thing. Graphs, terminology, blah, blah, pages, pages, pages. And at the end, they give you the supplements. So I did that for when I was living in my first apartment. So this was circa...

Late 22, early 23. After a while, charged. - Yeah. - Charged. But anyway, I can't remember what the thing is called. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - What the company's called. - But yeah, anyway, done that, they've got the results. So once I get a cohesive breakdown of exactly what it is, 'cause I didn't wanna come in here and be like, "Oh, they kind of said this and kind of said that." I wanna know exactly what is wrong with me.

- One thing I will say, I'm better than I thought I was. - Oh, nice, good. - I'm actually better than I thought I was, which is like a bit of sweet thing. It's like, you're good. 'Cause it's like, I want you to tell me I'm awful, so now I can feel amazing. - Yeah. - Do you know what I mean? - Because it gives you reason as to why you've been feeling the way you've been feeling. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So now I don't understand why I feel like shit all the time. But they gave me some categorical things that I was like, "Hmm, I knew that was gonna happen." - Okay. - One thing they did say, which I was concerned about anyway, they said, "Alcohol is not your bag."

There was like alcohol is gonna make you feel terrible. Avoid it. And I was like, I've been knowing that. I've been knowing that bro. So anyway, I'm gonna get all of that together and I will present it to you man. And the supplements that they've given me to take. And once I get the supplements, start remedying. But anyway, one thing I have been doing for the last three weeks or so, I told you about, I bought the Baja Gold Salt and I've been drinking it every day in my water.

You man, on God, I haven't had a headache in weeks. - I remember you said to me the other day actually, yeah. - Bro, this thing's changing my life. - Nice. - I ain't had a headache in time, bro. - Nice. - Yesterday was the first headache I had and that's because I was hung over and tired. But like usual, especially with the amount of shoots we've been doing recently. Like I said to you when we were rehearsing in Slough,

Bro, I'd woken up early that day, gone to the gym, traveled all the way down to Slough, had been rehearsing all day and then had to go to the hotel and perfect like my story time and go through everything. Like, bro, it was like half 10 at night and I know me, like I was thinking this is premium headache territory. Premium headache territory, bro. I felt...

- Nice. - So like for the last few weeks, I think it's not just the salt, I've been taking like magnesium and stuff religiously, but since I have been taking the salt, bro, no headaches. - How many, is it always 1.5 liters you have the salt in? - Yeah, so I do- - Or can you just have it in like a glass? - You can, I need to double check because basically it says one teaspoon per like gallon. So I've been putting like half a teaspoon in this, which is slightly more salt than they're recommending, but-

- Yeah, so I put like half a teaspoon in this and then I don't put it in everything I drink. Once this is done, I won't put it in anything for the rest of the day. That's it for the day. But yeah, bro, it's good. It's fucking good. I'm glad. I really, really like it. And it also, because you can taste it in the water, depending on the time of day, will tell me if I'm drinking enough water or not. So for example, looking at the time now and I've still got this left, it means, oh bro, you haven't drank enough water.

because this should have been done and then you onto the next one. So that's like also keeps me on top of like hydration and all that kind of shit. So I'm really excited to start getting into the rest of these results. 'Cause I was like, oh bro, like just that one thing, that one change has made a massive difference. - Nice man, I'm happy for you. - I'm gassed about it 'cause I brought you man, I suffer with headaches. Like the amount of times we've been in here and I'll be looking at the lights and if I've been laughing too much, I'll sit there like, and I'll get through the rest of the episode but for like the second half of the episode, I'm just there like bro.

Fuck man, my head's hurting. But bro, I've not had a headache in fucking ages, man. - Gang man, I'm happy. - I'm really happy about it, bro. - Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice. When you get all your results and everything, send me the link. 'Cause I know you said you wanted- - Yeah, I will, I will, I will. They also said it was gonna take four weeks. It didn't take four weeks. It was fast, so. - Cool. - Cool. Right, I have a confession. - Okay. - Read the confession. - Oh, I was like, all right. - No, no, no, no, read the confession. - That's out the blue. - Read the confession. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - And I'm happy about this one because I was gonna read this at the O2, but I didn't. - Okay.

So I have it here. Okay. My youngest sneaky link. I'm 53. She's 36. And I enjoy watching and recreating porn. Oh, 53, 36. Yeah, bro. That's naughty. They watch and recreate. That's naughty. We've been locked, bro. We've been linking at various motels for a year.

We have fun. Sorry, we have fun and make recordings just for us. Our last date, she revealed that she loves me and wants to take our relationship to the next level. Okay. Yeah, charged. Okay. I was stumped.

- Why you fucking up the base? - She said, "I'll be 40 soon and I want more than this. I want a family with you. I want us to hold hands and walk downtown in public. I want you to publicly claim me as your woman. And if you can't do that, I'm gonna show your wife our homegrown movies." Well, I agreed, but I also knew this was the last time I'd see her. While she was on top, I told her, "I'm gonna miss you."

Bro, she snapped and choked me so hard. I was fearful, but there was hope in her eyes. I stopped fighting and pretended to be dead.

She said, I'm sick of ending you niggas. She stole my money, my phone, and she left. She didn't end me, but did she end others? Should I tell the cops? I don't want my wife to find out. Oh my God. Advice. That's juicy. Jokes, bro. Wow, that's hilarious. Jokes, bro. The dynamic is so peak as well because that's...

It sounds like the best sneaky link until she catches more feelings or wants more things. Watching and recreating porn. Man's been linking her at motels for a year. He's thinking my life's patterned. Patterned. Fuck. She said, I want more. I want us to hold hands in public. Claim me publicly or I'll tell your wife everything. I'll show her the video. You're not showing no one shit. That's crazy. No.

- Oh, show her our homegrown videos. You're not showing no one nothing, bro. - That is an ordeal. - While she's on top, I'm gonna miss you. - 'Cause he knew this was the last time. He knew we couldn't do this again. - He got lost in the fantasy of love. - Yeah, I'm gonna miss you. - I'm gonna miss you, boy. - She just choked him out. - What? - I hate ending it. - Yeah, yeah. I'm tired of it. Do you know how much you have to do it to be tired of it?

She didn't end me, but she's ended others. That's psychotic. That is so funny. You know the sex was something else. The sex was out of control. Fair play. Fair. Trash news room? Yes. So today's more of a did you know again? Okay. The royal family.

30 rules and traditions that the monarchs abide by. - Oh, interesting. - So there's 35 I've just picked out the most interesting ones. - Oh, thank God. - Yeah, that's too many. So royals have to get approval to marry. I'm sure we might have. - I think I would guess that. - We knew that one already. - Sorry, who did they get approval from? - The first six wars in line for the crown had to get consent from the reigning monarch to be able to marry. - Fair, makes sense.

Airs cannot fly together. I knew that. Which makes sense. Oh, damn. For safety reasons, it's required that two direct airs to the throne to take, they take different flights whilst traveling. So William and George, I'm just going to assume George. He never flies with his son. George would have to always fly with Kate.

and not with same way the president vice president can't fly together that would make perfect sense yeah that does make sense yeah damn man never flies with his ute no that's it's it's juicy it's sick but it's jarring it's long it's jarring royals must refrain from public displays of affection

- Okay. - But Harry, of course. - Yeah, he stays- - We love Harry. - That's my wife. - We love Harry. - That's what they call it, black girlfriend effect. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - That's that trend. - Yeah, lips me. - That's that TikTok trend. - Fucking lips me. - You want me, show me. - For real. - We love Harry, we love Meghan, let's go. - Yeah.

Royals are not allowed to wear black. Didn't know that. Of all the colours, royals refrain from wearing black as it's known to be worn only at funerals. But there have been some like Princess Diana who wore it occasionally. She did what she wanted. We love Princess Diana. Rest in peace. However, they always have to pack black when they're travelling. For an unexpected funeral. For an unexpected funeral. What does that even mean? Fam, you tell me.

What? That's a random rule Random? Very That's a very random rule What? Alright, fair play Random

Royal members cannot vote. That's a pretty obvious one. The monarchy must be unbiased when it comes to all things politics and never show their cards. That's true, actually. Because, yeah, you can't find out that if you're just elected prime minister and you go to link the king and he's like, I didn't vote for you. I'm not checking for this. Yeah, that's tough. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Of course, yeah, same thing. Can't have political opinions. Cool, man. Monopoly is banned from games night. Monopoly is banned in the royal household due to the tensions it's said to cause among the royal family members. Some even boil over and games turn into rows. And as such, it is forbidden.

You know, I had a row over Monopoly, bro. Who hasn't had a row over Monopoly? Yeah, so that's why we don't ban it. We don't ban it, bro. We don't ban it. Yeah, we're just anybody, innit? I've never played Monopoly, Monopoly, until I played with Jacob. He makes side deals. What, with like, whilst the game's running? Whilst the game's running. He's talking to the left. Yeah, he'll talk to the left and be like,

Run me before anyone's rolled a dice. Run me 50 quid now and I'll promise I won't buy this. No, he does gentleman's deals underhandedly while you're playing Monopoly, bro. I didn't know you could do that. That's business. Those games get nasty. That sounds lit though. We should run that. Yeah. When we're in America, we're going to play Monopoly. Shit's going to get fucking filthy. Yeah.

Bedtime rules. When together members of the family follow the lead of the monarch. Nobody goes to bed until the king does, no matter how late. - Nah, that one I'm not doing. - I would be living. - You can shut up bro. - Yeah, you can go and fuck yourself. I'm not doing that. - No one goes back until the king goes bad. - Yeah, if I'm. Nail polish. Want colorful nails? Well, then when you're a royalist, it's not advised. The royal dress code forbids overbearing nails. Manicures should be simple. - Interesting.

No autographs. That kind of makes sense. Security purposes. Royals are not allowed to sign autographs due to potential for forgery risks. Makes sense. You might have heard about this one. Communicating with the handbag.

Wow, interesting.

- Wow, in Trevi. - I've heard something along the lines of that. Not to that detail, but yeah, something about where the queen's bag is placed on her person. I've heard something that means something. I didn't know the actual ins and outs of it like that. - That's heavy.

Let's give her like black ops type shit. I want to leave the building in five minutes or less. Yeah, but I just put on the floor. A royal shoe wearer. Being royalty provides one with a privilege that very few ever experience. The queen had a dedicated person who wore her shoes before she did to ensure that they were comfortable and wouldn't cause her any pain. That's wild. Someone paid for this? Someone getting paid to break your shoes in, bro. That's crazy. That's a job. Yeah.

Ironed shoelaces. That's a piss take. King Charles' wardrobe is managed by a team that ensures that the monarch's clothing is chosen, styled, pressed, and prepared for his outings. Every detail is meticulously catered to. For example, King Charles' shoelaces are ironed. No one's doing that, bro. I promise you, if I was the royal shoelace ironer, I would never iron him. Ever. No one would ever know. No one will ever know. I'm looking now, actually.

Nah, you ain't gonna fucking know. For damn fair play. Royals avoid shellfish. One of the royals, one of the royal safety rules asserts that shellfish is to be avoided to eliminate the risk of food poisoning due to contamination. Makes sense, bro. I fucking hate shellfish anyway. So I, yeah, I can marry into royalty. That's a tick for me. Yeah, facts.

Yeah, last couple. You cannot get married in May. Royal weddings are never scheduled in May due to superstition that stems from the marriage of King Charles I, who was executed in May 1649, deeming this month as bad luck. That's excessive. Bro, they just say stuff. Yeah. The thing is, superstition, there's an argument that people are just saying stuff. Oh, don't.

- I was gonna say, you don't need to tell me bro. - Walking on a drain, walking under a ladder, under scaffolding. - You ain't catching me walking under ladders bro. - I mean, that's just like asking for trouble anyways. - Three drains? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You will never see me walk on three drains. I haven't since I was like nine years old. - That's crazy. - Yeah, stupid, but don't do it. One of my boys has to touch every lamppost he walks past.

- Really? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's nuts. - But is that super, like what's helping? - It's a thin line between superstition and OCD. - Yeah, that's what I was saying. That's OCD, bro. That's not. - Yeah, it's not even superstition. That's why I was like, if I don't touch it every day, like my family will die. - So when he's on the motorway, then what? - No, obviously it doesn't count. Like you can only do it where you can manage, but you don't walk past one. - Without touching it. - And without touching it. - Okay.

- I don't agree with him. - It was taking forever to get from A to B bro. Like that's crazy. - Yeah bro, oh you think when we used to walk before, when we were kids, before I was driving bro, like everyone and he'd do it like, the thing is he doesn't like, he'd do it slyly and it's so annoying watching him do it slyly because you'd be walking and then like if he misses it, he'll just like kick his foot back and like, here he go, ding. - Right. - And he'll just carry on walking.

And was it only the same side of the road that he was walking on? Because there's obviously lampposts on the road. Yeah, he's not ducking, zigzagging. It's just whatever he directly walks past, little touch. Jesus. All right. Fair. The monarch celebrates their birthday twice a year. Do you guys know that? I didn't know that. I feel like I have heard it though. I heard it. Queen Elizabeth has two birthdays. Her real birthday is...

or she had two birthdays sorry her real birthday in april and another official date in june to enjoy a sunny outdoor celebration with everyone king charles follows the same tradition as his two birthdays are on 17th of june and 14th of november interesting ass ridiculous that is ridiculous yeah last one the spouse of a monarch will never be king or queen

The partner of the reigning monarch in the UK is never king or queen in a traditional sense. If the title is bestowed upon them, it is purely symbolic and ceremonial. Makes sense. Yeah, man. I rate that one.

- If we're gonna keep it bloodline, let's keep it bloodline bro. - Yeah, let's not chop the rules up too, too, too much. - Fair play man, that was interesting. Your trash news is up this week. - Just trying to switch it up. - Yeah, that was actually interesting. Right, let's charge? - Let's man. - Right guys, thank you very much. That was a fun episode. It flew by for me. But anyway, as always love, love, love. - Go, go, go.
