Speaker 2: When you were younger, what did you want to be
Speaker 2: when you grew up?
Speaker 3: Ooh, I wanted to star in my own sitcom. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: I think I was quite obsessed by friends at that time,
Speaker 3: so like just thought I could make my own version
Speaker 3: of that. Okay, other jobs, I mean, that was the
Speaker 3: main one I want to be in at Okay, since
Speaker 3: a gentleman I were talking about called Tucco okay, it's
Speaker 3: from Japan, Okay, okay.
Speaker 2: And basically for his entire life he wanted to be something.
Speaker 2: So he's gone off and he spent the money to
Speaker 2: become that thing and created a way of sharing it
Speaker 2: with other people.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: So yes, he grew up and he wanted to be
Speaker 2: a dog, right, so he has spent eleven thousand dollars
Speaker 2: on becoming a dog. That's him.
Speaker 3: That's him.
Speaker 2: That's him.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: It's impressive, isn't it.
Speaker 3: I mean, that is quite impressive.
Speaker 2: He's also opened a zoo for other people that also
Speaker 2: want to identify as all the animals, the animal fantasies.
Speaker 3: Interesting.
Speaker 2: Is this like a that's that's that's another person drinking
Speaker 2: a coke? Okay, I mean I would say not as
Speaker 2: not as expensive. Maybe it's just the drinking of the
Speaker 2: grog slightly scary. Actually it's slightly not quite right. It's
Speaker 2: the eyes, it's the dead eyes. Yeahah, but yeah. He's
Speaker 2: opened up his zoo called Taco Taku Zoo h okay,
Speaker 2: and it allows people to don life felt dog costumes
Speaker 2: and basically live their life as a kid.
Speaker 3: So you can go and try it out as well
Speaker 3: before you buy. Try it before you buy. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2: Basically, it offers you private sessions and it starts at
Speaker 2: three hundred and eleven pounds dollars sorry dollars, and it
Speaker 2: accommodates up to three people per booking, so you forgoing.
Speaker 3: You're only the hookay, so you can bring it all
Speaker 3: pals for yellow pack yeah lovely, Yeah, sniffer eat shows bums.
Speaker 2: If that's what you want to do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it talks to.
Speaker 2: And gay man, hey do we died and we're thankful
Speaker 2: for more than people that do that. So yeah, I
Speaker 2: quite like the idea of being able to go out
Speaker 2: and try something new. I'm not a fan of going
Speaker 2: to do it in a zoo. It just feels a
Speaker 2: little bit I'm going to beat by a tiger.
Speaker 3: Yes, well but wait, are there are actual real animals?
Speaker 2: No, there's not.
Speaker 3: Okay, but it's just that's what it's called. You're a
Speaker 3: bit scared of that. I mean, well, you know, I
Speaker 3: mean good for following his childhood dreams to exactly would
Speaker 3: you be interested in dressing up as an animal? Have you?
Speaker 3: Have you experience?
Speaker 2: And I have played with the ideas in previous incarnations relationships.
Speaker 3: Not quite for me.
Speaker 2: It's very hot in those suits and I sweat a lot.
Speaker 3: What were you in Armadillo?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, armadillo on the outside, smooth on the inside.
Speaker 2: That's a very niche reference. Anybody from the eighties and nineties,
Speaker 2: you'll be going, yeah, everybody else, what the But moving on?
Speaker 2: One of my favorite people to bitch and wing a
Speaker 2: belt and you know, wish that they shut up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's I think he's getting in trouble for something, right,
Speaker 2: everywhere else is going. It's really fascinating. Okay, But what's
Speaker 2: happened is he sent the car into space seven years
Speaker 2: ago hmm okay, I remember this, Yeah, and they lost
Speaker 2: They lost it for a while, couldn't find it, couldn't
Speaker 2: work out where it had gone. They found it again, okay,
Speaker 2: which is quite nice. Currently heading towards Mars. Okay, there
Speaker 2: they go. So it's one of his man is just
Speaker 2: going to kill as all of me he is. It's
Speaker 2: literally he's not just littering the planet with his views.
Speaker 2: He's liftering the world with his ship cars. So it's
Speaker 2: it's currently like over here, so okay, it's on its
Speaker 2: way to love this, love this accurate maps. That's there's
Speaker 2: actually a website now tracks it so they don't lose
Speaker 2: it again.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: You can tell it's not Elon that's put it in
Speaker 2: because there's no money in this graphic. This is just paint.
Speaker 2: It's all circles. But yeah, it's currently playing Rocket Man
Speaker 2: okay and Space Oddity on repeat. Okay, okay, because why
Speaker 2: would you not. The downside to this is that they
Speaker 2: put a dummy and that has listened to both those
Speaker 2: songs over a million times, right, and also this car
Speaker 2: is being able to play that music for eight years.
Speaker 2: His cars can't go two hundred miles about needing a charge,
Speaker 2: So how is that possible?
Speaker 3: Right, mister trick there?
Speaker 2: I think I think it's definitely mister trick because huh,
Speaker 2: people are like saying, oh, it's really great that we've
Speaker 2: managed to find it and stuff. He thinks it which people, yeah,
Speaker 2: those people, yeah, okay, right, oh my god, Elon, you've
Speaker 2: found your car. That's amazing. Yeah, you lost it because
Speaker 2: of all the people with genders, they think it eventually
Speaker 2: will crash into Mars, right, but they're not sure when
Speaker 2: cool because it's not a fault that far ahead fly
Speaker 2: something into there. But of course Elon's trying to fly
Speaker 2: people to Mars. So what I'm kind of envisionally happening
Speaker 2: is that as the people in land in Mars going
Speaker 2: I've set for on Mars, Elon's car comes and smacks
Speaker 2: into them and kills them. All that teach and if
Speaker 2: you want to fling something into space and see if
Speaker 2: it works, why not share that with us? It's at
Speaker 2: the TV on social media, and that brings us nicely
Speaker 2: to our story of the week. Now, do you have
Speaker 2: a side hustle?
Speaker 3: Everything I do is I am nothing but the side
Speaker 3: side hustles. Yes, said, I've seen side hustling all my life.
Speaker 2: Okay, do you have a fans that only certain people
Speaker 2: can view?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Not yet, not yet, No, I don't, I do not Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm planning on it.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. You don't know. I mean, if
Speaker 3: if there's any money's we've made in it, then you've.
Speaker 2: Been speaking to front of the show, haven't you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know told me all the ins
Speaker 3: and outs, so to speak.
Speaker 2: Probably showing you as well. Anyway, this is about a
Speaker 2: gentleman who on only fans has discovered a way of
Speaker 2: selling something from his person. Okay, people are desperate to buy, right,
Speaker 2: what do you think that could be?
Speaker 3: Like something from his person of his front body. So
Speaker 3: something he produces, hand gestures, he produces this this. Okay,
Speaker 3: what I mean I'm going to start with com Okay,
Speaker 3: not not not there, Okay, less that say spit.
Speaker 2: Okay, you're staying very fluidy. It's actually fats. Oh okay, Okay,
Speaker 2: he's sell so less liquid more gas. Well gas twenty
Speaker 2: pounds a year he's making selling his own farts. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: basically he's he was, Yeah, he's not an unattractive gentleman.
Speaker 2: Let's just put that that way. That's that's him selling
Speaker 2: the location of production. The phrase is yeah, very good
Speaker 2: visuals exactly. It's like everybody needs a button for a pillow.
Speaker 2: And that's him being completely natural, not at all, you know,
Speaker 2: just staring out the window.
Speaker 3: Got quite prottyly fart. I'd imagine.
Speaker 2: Ripyr wallpaper off, wouldn't it. So yeah, he was on
Speaker 2: his only fans and someone asked him and he went,
Speaker 2: you know, that's a bit weird, and he went, we'll
Speaker 2: pay you anyway. Well, I don't care if it's weird
Speaker 2: now and I started advertising it and selling it, and
Speaker 2: he's now making twenty thousand pounds a year from justice farts,
Speaker 2: which I thought was quite you know, nice work if
Speaker 2: you can get it.
Speaker 3: Mean, do you feel like he's kind of got the
Speaker 3: niche of that market now, or like, you know, could
Speaker 3: you start selling yours?
Speaker 2: You see, I think it's part partly about the package.
Speaker 2: I don't think my farts will sell well to that?
Speaker 3: Why not? Huh? Why not?
Speaker 2: This person obviously goes to the gym once or twice
Speaker 2: on an occasion, you know, then I go once or
Speaker 2: twice a lifetime. It's beer belly well paid for, right.
Speaker 2: I think that the esthetic is part of why they
Speaker 2: might try, because I produced them on their own.
Speaker 3: Giving them away for free.
Speaker 2: Exactly does anybody want to buy my dog's farts because
Speaker 2: they stinko?
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's interesting what people will pay for.
Speaker 2: Anyway. That's all the buzz this week, Thanks Mike.
Speaker 3: I will never think of farts in the same way
Speaker 3: again on that think.
Speaker 2: That only works if you're seldom though. Oh yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: but stay right there, as after this short break, we
Speaker 2: get upstate with all the celebrity news in showbiz with
Speaker 2: then welcome back and you're watching you in the cud.
Speaker 2: This is the part of the show where we look
Speaker 2: into the sparkly side of the world of celebrity and
Speaker 2: media in the showbiz with then.
Speaker 3: All right, are you ready for some showers? I am
Speaker 3: ready gagging for it, pre lubed and everything gosh well done.
Speaker 3: Makes a difference from last time. That's very gappy. Well
Speaker 3: your lube is ready for Graham Norson to start with. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: you weren't expecting that way. It's not what I was expecting.
Speaker 2: Slightly concerned that I am actually prelude.
Speaker 3: Now, Well, Graham Norton's got a new show coming up soon.
Speaker 3: It's an ITV reality series, a right, and this one
Speaker 3: is called The Neighborhood. So the concept of the show
Speaker 3: are Graham, he's.
Speaker 2: Not aged that much.
Speaker 3: No, he's yeah doing well, Yeah, yeah I do. Are
Speaker 3: you a fan of Graham?
Speaker 2: I don't love him. I used to. I used to
Speaker 2: do like the sow Graham John the early nauticelatic. I
Speaker 2: love that. I just think he's got a little bit samey, Right,
Speaker 2: nothing's changed.
Speaker 3: Well, maybe this is the thing. Maybe maybe it's so.
Speaker 3: The Idea is a twelve part series which will feature
Speaker 3: real life households living side by side. They engage in
Speaker 3: social activities and facing challenges designed to test their dynamics.
Speaker 3: So they'll be staying like in a in a neighborhood
Speaker 3: I guess, like a fake neighborhood that's been made for
Speaker 3: the show, and then they will win some sort of
Speaker 3: prize at the end. So Graham seems very excited by this.
Speaker 3: He says that he's always intrigued about what goes on
Speaker 3: behind closed doors, dirty old manouristic, and it's eager to
Speaker 3: see how these challenges will impact relationships. And he's hoping
Speaker 3: it's going to become a favorite amongst viewers. So there
Speaker 3: is a casting call currently if you're interested.
Speaker 2: Okay, two things that he wants it to become a
Speaker 2: favorite because he wants more money, yes, and the casting call. Mmm,
Speaker 2: that's exciting.
Speaker 3: That is exciting. I mean, have you ever thought about
Speaker 3: doing a bit of reality TV?
Speaker 2: I a long time ago applied for and got quite
Speaker 2: far in Big Brother? Oh wow, Okay, I had to
Speaker 2: drop out because of situations, but it was the year
Speaker 2: before Kinger.
Speaker 3: That could have been new.
Speaker 2: It could have been me on a lord with a
Speaker 2: wine bottle and that's what you did for your audition
Speaker 2: tape by her. No, it wasn't a wine bottle, it
Speaker 2: was a cask.
Speaker 3: I mean, yes, Well, there are actually comparisons to Big
Speaker 3: Brother in this, so maybe it's time to get that
Speaker 3: cast out. And oh, I could do too. You've been
Speaker 3: in training exactly, say the wide cellar.
Speaker 2: You're worried?
Speaker 3: Would you be okay with like living alongside and doing
Speaker 3: challenges with neighbors.
Speaker 2: On the neighbors see I've got I've got some great
Speaker 2: neighbors right in the seventies and eighties, either side, right,
Speaker 2: both death as posts. Okay, so I can make as
Speaker 2: much noise as I want and do.
Speaker 3: Disco ball.
Speaker 2: This disco ball is trying to kill me, keeps throwing
Speaker 2: itself at me, much like nobody.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Then we come back on. So, yeah, my neighbor's ancient
Speaker 2: and crumbly, be nice and loud, right, but the zebra parcel,
Speaker 2: I'll get it delivered to one of my neighbors. And
Speaker 2: then a call from my neighbors that I've got your parcel.
Speaker 2: Don't you worry? You let me know when you come
Speaker 2: home from work. It's brilliant.
Speaker 3: Great, Well, maybe you should audition with these neighbors for
Speaker 3: the show. Bring them in. That'd be fun. Well, you know,
Speaker 3: we look forward to seeing her all turns out on
Speaker 3: the TV. Maybe seeing you on that show. No.
Speaker 2: Twelve twelve episodes.
Speaker 3: Twelve episodes.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a lot of time.
Speaker 3: A bit much, yes, a bit much? Have you and
Speaker 3: tell isn't it exactly? Okay? So number two on the
Speaker 3: show is did you ever watch Big Boys?
Speaker 2: The finishes? Because that might change the answer.
Speaker 3: The comedy series, but is not you've been watching? No did?
Speaker 2: I did watch it because it had the boyfriend Dairy
Speaker 2: Girls and it Yes.
Speaker 3: Dylan Llewellyn Llewellyn, I think that's what I said. Yes,
Speaker 3: So Channel four comedy series and so there's there has
Speaker 3: been to two series of it. We're now getting into
Speaker 3: the third series. Did you enjoy it?
Speaker 2: I quite enjoyed it because the overarching story is about
Speaker 2: a gay guy and a straight guy who best friends. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you don't see that enough on TV. Right, It
Speaker 2: happens all the time in real life, but you don't
Speaker 2: see that portrayed on TV. It's always segregating into the
Speaker 2: gays and the straights and the trans and it's never
Speaker 2: the mixing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, which I quite like. So it's a very sweet,
Speaker 3: like very funny, very sweet and kind of like heartfelt
Speaker 3: like little TV show.
Speaker 2: I cried a little bit. Yeah I did too, especially
Speaker 2: the first season when the mum goes it comes out
Speaker 2: to his mum and the mum walks off, I'm spoiling it.
Speaker 2: But it's been out for a year, so it's too late.
Speaker 2: She comes back and says, here's the box that your
Speaker 2: dad said and we knew and yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really good. It's very funny, very sweet. Well
Speaker 3: so that yeah, the third twos is coming and it's
Speaker 3: been given more critical praise, not just from you, but
Speaker 3: also from Russell t D's okay, so you know Russell
Speaker 3: friends of the show. I imagine, oh, I.
Speaker 2: Wish we do keep writing to remove the restraining order.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so yeah, so he has said is a
Speaker 3: masterpiece as the final season comes out, and highlighting its
Speaker 3: blend of humor and emotional depth as we were just
Speaker 3: discussing there and The Guardian loaded it is beautiful and heartbreaking,
Speaker 3: emphasizing its significant impact on modern British comedy. So Jack
Speaker 3: Rooke is the creator of the show, and it's like
Speaker 3: expressed lots of sort of gratitude for this positive reception.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think you know, it's another great show
Speaker 3: which is not a great example of LGBTQ plus representation
Speaker 3: in media. I guess, well, Russell's Queer's Folk obviously being
Speaker 3: one of the first shows I ever remember that kind
Speaker 3: of depicted queer.
Speaker 2: Life, graphic queer graphic queer life wasn't born.
Speaker 3: Yeah, still remember it very well to this day. Yeah,
Speaker 3: what other other shows have we just say have kind
Speaker 3: of helped in this representation.
Speaker 2: So especially from Russell t doctor who yeah, absolutely right,
Speaker 2: whereas got dark behind you, behind you, there's a thing.
Speaker 2: I'm a hoovi and we know right he did that Cucumber, Yes, cumber, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I couldn't remember them all, but that was brilliantly done
Speaker 2: as well, that one with all the Alexander in it
Speaker 2: where he died.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a sin as well.
Speaker 2: It's a sin. Yes, another beautifully well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, beautiful, but yeah, like room for more. I
Speaker 3: think also like this, so you're like, you're saying, it's
Speaker 3: nice to see like a straight and gay character. Their
Speaker 3: friendship also discusses mental health quite a bit as well, like, yeah,
Speaker 3: there's not just one queer story, right, there's lots. We're
Speaker 3: very multifaested.
Speaker 2: It's almost like we're a community of individuals per've just
Speaker 2: been shoved together.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, so looking forward to three Season three? Okay,
Speaker 3: are you ready for your final.
Speaker 2: I am braced the lubers dried out though.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, I'm sorry to hear that, but maybe this
Speaker 3: will get you wet if you were a fan of
Speaker 3: the show in the nineties. Okay, so I'm going to
Speaker 3: try and make you try and guess what the show is.
Speaker 3: But my description of when I was watching it, so
Speaker 3: I think it was after tad Mate.
Speaker 2: Biker Grove, not.
Speaker 3: Biker Grove, but I think maybe the same channel. And
Speaker 3: it was so right about seven o'clock in the evening.
Speaker 3: I think I had come on. I think maybe every
Speaker 3: weekday night. It was an American show.
Speaker 2: Disco Ball's gone again. I don't know where it's going.
Speaker 2: We're out at disco Ball, sorry, peeps. So seven pm,
Speaker 2: seven pm on a weekday American America High School, Saved
Speaker 2: by the Bell no More sexy and murderous, well sexy
Speaker 2: murderous nine.
Speaker 3: There was like a really good guitar theme and like
Speaker 3: theme tuner is like brown, no.
Speaker 2: Special musician.
Speaker 3: I didn't write the theme vampires.
Speaker 2: Ah, right now, Buffy the vampires. So you said vampires
Speaker 2: and that was if you'd have gone got it straightway?
Speaker 3: Yeah, there we are there, Sarah, where are you?
Speaker 2: A fan? Loved it, okay, loved it all the way
Speaker 2: through an Angel an Angel, even the spin off with
Speaker 2: Angel it was awful.
Speaker 3: Loved watching that. It was awful but also great. Well,
Speaker 3: there's been chat about maybe having a reboot.
Speaker 2: That is what we have thought about booting before.
Speaker 3: Well, it seems like this is actually kind of moving
Speaker 3: forward a little bit more because Sarah herself there she
Speaker 3: has has confirmed the development of a Buffy the Vampire
Speaker 3: Slayer reboot more than two decades after the original series.
Speaker 3: So it could be that it's more of like she's
Speaker 3: there is a bit of a mentor there's a new
Speaker 3: Slayer kind of coming in.
Speaker 2: So she killed them all off in the last one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, just none left to guess, just new new.
Speaker 2: If it's a reboot, they're not start the story, aren't
Speaker 2: they start from the end?
Speaker 3: Oh that reboot? Yeah? Okay, so it's a reboot as
Speaker 3: opposed to.
Speaker 2: It's not a sequel sequel Yeah, okay, okay, Yeah, Well
Speaker 2: I wonder if there'll be any of the other original
Speaker 2: casts then maybe not. Well, there probably won't be any
Speaker 2: the vampires in it because they've all aged or yeah,
Speaker 2: problematic vampires don't age and it's like, oh, look, these
Speaker 2: people of aged twenty years. How's that happened.
Speaker 3: I would love to see Spike again on my screen.
Speaker 2: I think, yes, we Spike by angel I like the burly.
Speaker 3: No, it's Spike for me, bad bad boy energy, with
Speaker 3: that Drew Sill blonde.
Speaker 2: Well when she went to university and then they had
Speaker 2: the Army cadets. Do you remember that when they had
Speaker 2: the army people and the must league boys in the military.
Speaker 3: It feels like I shouldn't remember that it was it
Speaker 3: was worth a story arc. If we get reboots, we
Speaker 3: can relive all these great moments. All right, Well that
Speaker 3: is all from the show this week.
Speaker 2: Well thanks for that, Ben. Always nice to know that
Speaker 2: something is actually coming back when we say it is.
Speaker 3: You are very welcome, but don't go anywhere. Als coming up.
Speaker 3: We have a game for you to play along with
Speaker 3: in our game.

Speaker 2: of the show where we play a game, and this
Speaker 2: one is for the man who is trying not to
Speaker 2: prove to us that he's really Scottish.
Speaker 3: It's try not to do that again.
Speaker 2: Of the week. So then has got a ray of
Speaker 2: cards in front of him as we play myth or
Speaker 2: no myth? Are you ready then?
Speaker 3: Okay? Question one. Warts can be an inherited, so they're
Speaker 3: not hereditary in the genetic sense, but because they're a
Speaker 3: subcontagious thing that can then pass by touch and stuff.
Speaker 3: So no, no, no, well that is correct because it
Speaker 3: is a myth. That is a myth. You spotted that myth.
Speaker 2: And the toad is you can't get waters from a toad, No, as.
Speaker 3: Much as you try and.
Speaker 2: Snob them, unless you're trying SnO them. Okay, they don't
Speaker 2: add princess. Well, toads if you are certain toads, if
Speaker 2: you lick their hallucinogenic huh not in this country. Don't
Speaker 2: lick toads, people, I don't.
Speaker 3: That's my Saturday night plans started. Okay, that's the next one.
Speaker 2: Another one on the same card, on the same one.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, speaking of licking all your taste buds are
Speaker 3: on your tongue, No.
Speaker 2: Because I can still always taste it.
Speaker 3: That is correct.
Speaker 2: You see. Do you thought I was just being filthy?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a myth. Where else are your taste pose then?
Speaker 2: I told you?
Speaker 3: Mm hmm anywhere else in my arm pits? Mm hmm
Speaker 3: Is that true?
Speaker 2: I don't know where else are they?
Speaker 3: I don't know yours, you don't know. I don't know. No,

Speaker 2: Should we get the next question, I would I would
Speaker 2: like a left top, please, a left top, A lefty top,
Speaker 2: a leftop?
Speaker 3: Okay, great, okay, m hmm. Number one AIDS was created
Speaker 3: by the CIA as a biological weapon. Is this a
Speaker 3: myth or not?
Speaker 2: Donald trumply writing these cards?
Speaker 3: That is a myth. It is indeed a myth. Yes,
Speaker 3: as much as some people would like to. Yeah, perhaps
Speaker 3: rubbing butter onto a burn helps minimize the damage.
Speaker 2: Oh, this is gonna be one of those things that
Speaker 2: turned out to be true, but it shouldn't have been,
Speaker 2: so it's gonna say true.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say true. It is not true. It is
Speaker 3: a myth.
Speaker 2: Okay, don't go rubbing butter because you'll just get a
Speaker 2: delicious tasting burn. The last thing of what to do
Speaker 2: is make your skin after you've colked it delicious during
Speaker 2: that burner.
Speaker 3: Burns. Well, doc and leaves, that's what we use for
Speaker 3: stinging nettles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just because dot leaves, alkaline and netals poisonous
Speaker 2: is acids are just neutralized.
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 2: But that only really works if you get the sting
Speaker 2: out as well. There we go educational exactly cool. Shall

Speaker 3: to kind of knock down some walls or burn down
Speaker 3: some walls as the song goes to kind of get
Speaker 3: yourself back to where you need to be. And so, yeah,

Speaker 3: some clues in the title.
Speaker 2: Do you know?
Speaker 3: It was? Actually I wrote it when I was dating
Speaker 3: this guy, and it was literally a question that I
Speaker 3: was kind of starting to ask, was like, I don't
Speaker 3: know if we can actually do this relationship sober? So
Speaker 3: like I kind of started from that point but then
Speaker 3: realized that a lot of like queer life is also
Speaker 3: based around being out and being in the pubs and
Speaker 3: being in the clubs. And I wondered, yeah, just where
Speaker 3: is that line of like can we kind of just
Speaker 3: be ourselves if I happen to be out having the
Speaker 3: most amazing time ever? And yeah, can we just kind
Speaker 3: of live our lives sober in like in all the
Speaker 3: kind of ways really like just really like as a
Speaker 3: bit of a metaphor for like just being ourselves? And yeah,
Speaker 3: it started off as a very like acoustic guitar soul
Speaker 3: searching song, and then in the studio was like, actually, no,
Speaker 3: I wanted to be like a song that I'll dance
Speaker 3: to when I'm playing it and performing it to kind
Speaker 3: of you know, get that the contrast, I guess between
Speaker 3: the meaning and the performance.
