  Hello and welcome to another episode of What do You Call It
• 0:10
  podcast, I'm Your GB. Today's guest is a comedian
• 0:15
  making waves in the stand up scene.
• 0:18
  Please welcome Ellie Wood. Ellie, how you doing?
• 0:20
  Sam, you're good. Hello, hello, Hello, Joe.
• 0:23
  Thanks for having me. No problem at all.
• 0:26
  So I did bump into you on Friday.
• 0:28
  Good to meet you. Yes.
• 0:30
  Did Mitchell set? So I'm going to quickly mention
• 0:32
  The Dirty Dog at Comedy Club because it's run by Terry
• 0:37
  Gargan, who is actually a friend of mine and a friend of the
• 0:39
  show. So unfortunately I missed it,
• 0:41
  but I'd like to know Eddie, how did it go?
• 0:45
  It was a night to remember, we had a lot of fun.
• 0:48
  So by the time you got there, the IT just all got a little bit
• 0:52
  chaotic and out of hand and everyone was just, I couldn't
• 0:54
  tell who was performing and who wasn't because everyone was just
• 0:58
  shouting out. And it was brilliant.
• 0:59
  It just went mad. But it was a lot of fun.
• 1:02
  And we had, yeah, we all kind of bonded as comedians.
• 1:05
  I was the young girl, which was quite funny.
• 1:08
  And so yeah, no, it was brilliant.
• 1:10
  And I'll definitely be going back there soon.
• 1:12
  Terry's a Terry's a lot of fun, so for now as well.
• 1:15
  So yeah, it was a good night. No, it was pretty good.
• 1:19
  I went with my friend, Paul shouts.
• 1:21
  Yeah. He's a Kendall.
• 1:23
  Kendall. That was his nickname
• 1:24
  completely. About that.
• 1:27
  Yeah, he had the time of his life.
• 1:28
  I don't think he's ever been to like a real comedy club before.
• 1:31
  And I've been talking about dirty dogs before.
• 1:33
  And then he honestly, not intentionally, but he did take
• 1:36
  over the show, but it wasn't being horrible or anything, but
• 1:38
  he's having the time. He was the start of the show.
• 1:42
  I didn't know if he was like about to get up and perform.
• 1:46
  He was just calling the shots. He's brilliant.
• 1:48
  He loved it. Was that his first comedy show?
• 1:50
  He did kept trying to get me like, like going on stage.
• 1:53
  I was like, no, I'm not doing it.
• 1:54
  I'm not doing it. Yeah, I don't like once, twice,
• 1:57
  but I wasn't great. There was a lot of people there.
• 2:00
  Yeah, it was at the end, Terry, like just going.
• 2:02
  So that's great. Went on there for like 2
• 2:03
  minutes. Just told some like casual
• 2:05
  jokes. I'm not going for them.
• 2:07
  Don't worry. Nothing offense or anything, but
• 2:08
  just your generic jokes that be told like, you know, in the
• 2:12
  office. And I thought they're hilarious.
• 2:14
  Yeah. What was Stevie Wonder's first
• 2:16
  hit the door stuff like that? Brilliant.
• 2:19
  You've got a love of Stevie Wonder, Joe, just to break the
• 2:21
  ice. That's it, that's it.
• 2:23
  But I'm not here to talk about my terrible non existent stand
• 2:25
  up career. So here's to what yours You're
• 2:27
  in your first. Year my non existent stand up
• 2:29
  career. No, you are making waves
• 2:32
  honestly. Like what can I ask you first
• 2:35
  though before you have the stand up comedian that you are now?
• 2:37
  How did you get into stand up comedy?
• 2:40
  So it's, it's kind of one of those where you look back and
• 2:43
  go, how did I get here? It was such a natural kind of
• 2:49
  random sequence of events. I mean, I've always, I've always
• 2:53
  been a massive, you know, comedy fan from being a little girl,
• 2:56
  you know, watching Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, you
• 3:00
  know, Richard Pryor. With my dad when I was younger
• 3:03
  and then sort of when I was a teenager.
• 3:06
  Lee Evans, Eddie Izzard. Sorry, I just don't find Lee
• 3:10
  Evans funny. No, you know what?
• 3:12
  A lot of he's he's he's love or hate, but when you're a sort of
• 3:15
  13 year old girl, he was just, he was brilliant.
• 3:17
  But yeah, he's very, he's very kind of hit or miss.
• 3:20
  But back then he was huge. And and yeah, we used to
• 3:24
  obviously, you know, Mickey Flanagan, we used to love.
• 3:27
  And then sort of as we've got older, you know, you know, all
• 3:30
  of the the kind of Ricky Gervais and all that, all those kinds of
• 3:33
  stand up Queens, but always been into comedy.
• 3:35
  Loved kind of French and Saunders growing up, Victoria
• 3:38
  Woods, all the female comedians as well.
• 3:40
  Smack the pony. I don't know if you remember
• 3:42
  that show. Do you remember it with the IT
• 3:43
  was like the female cast and it's like a sketch show.
• 3:48
  Harry Enfield and Charm photos, A massive comedy fan.
• 3:51
  But when I was sort of younger, I did like acting.
• 3:56
  I was sort of did a bit of acting on TV.
• 3:58
  So I did like the Bill and Crime Watch and all those classics.
• 4:02
  Yeah. So I've always got performed.
• 4:04
  I've always been on stage. But then, you know, you grow up,
• 4:07
  don't you? And then you get, you know.
• 4:09
  Sorry to interrupt like I did, I wasn't aware of this.
• 4:11
  Good. Talking about the bill and crime
• 4:13
  Watch please. Yeah, well, OK, so I was always
• 4:17
  on stage as a as a child and then I went to kind of a theatre
• 4:20
  school on a Saturday, you know, singing, dancing, I'm messing
• 4:23
  about. And then, yeah, they sent us all
• 4:25
  on an audition and I ended up getting the first part that I
• 4:28
  ever went for. It was like children's TV show
• 4:30
  called Acting Crimson. So I was on that.
• 4:33
  I don't know if you remember Felix Sex.
• 4:35
  Did you remember him? He was y'all he did.
• 4:38
  He did a show called Real McCoy. So he was actually a comedian,
• 4:42
  but he played this like superhero.
• 4:44
  And I was just upset of him. Like he was just amazing.
• 4:47
  And then I was only 11, so they took me out of school and I did
• 4:49
  this show. And then that was it.
• 4:51
  I was like, this is me. This is just what I want to do.
• 4:54
  And then I did, yeah. Then I did the bill.
• 4:56
  Then I did a show called Wire in the Blood.
• 4:59
  I don't know if you remember that Robson Green.
• 5:02
  It was like an old, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:04
  So I did that and then and then Crime Watch.
• 5:06
  And then I kind of, I got older, you know, I went to work and I
• 5:09
  just, I just didn't really carry it on.
• 5:11
  I kind of went and got like a proper job.
• 5:13
  But I recently turned 40 about, well, about a year ago.
• 5:18
  And I think when I turned 40, I was just kind of like something
• 5:21
  is missing. You know, I'm married, I've got
• 5:23
  kids, I've got, you know, my, my 9:00 to 5:00.
• 5:26
  There was something that was just like eating away at me,
• 5:30
  like picking at me going, you've got, you've got to do something.
• 5:32
  So I was, I'm a storyteller, right?
• 5:35
  So I don't stand up and tell jokes.
• 5:36
  I tell stories in a in a kind of funny way.
• 5:40
  It doesn't matter how, how bad the story is.
• 5:42
  I'll kind of make, you know, I'll find the funny side.
• 5:45
  So I kind of started writing all this stuff down and I went to a
• 5:49
  comedy night at the cafe and I was with my friend and he said I
• 5:54
  could never get up and do that. And I just thought, you know
• 5:56
  what, I've got to do it. I've got to sign myself up and
• 5:58
  do it. And I put myself in for the week
• 6:01
  after. And in my head I was thinking, I
• 6:04
  don't know if I'm going to be able to do it.
• 6:06
  And I've written my set and I kind of hadn't said it to
• 6:09
  anyone. I didn't tell anyone I was doing
• 6:11
  it anyway. I went up and did it and I ended
• 6:14
  up getting the little trophy like, and it was just like, I
• 6:17
  just kind of loved it. Like it was just such a, it was
• 6:21
  such a lovely experience and I thought I'd be a lot more
• 6:23
  nervous, but it just, I just found it so much fun.
• 6:27
  What came natural? To you a little bit, yeah.
• 6:29
  Because I just was just talking nonsense and just being myself.
• 6:32
  I wasn't, I wasn't really sort of trying to be clever or trying
• 6:35
  to perform in any sort of way. I was just chatting shit
• 6:39
  basically. And then and yeah, and it just
• 6:41
  kind of it gave me that feeling that I used to get, you know,
• 6:45
  when I was when I was younger and I was on stage or when I was
• 6:48
  on, you know, filming whatever. And it's kind of, I don't know,
• 6:52
  it's just kind of like giving me like my brought my passion back,
• 6:55
  you know, So and I'm just meeting like so many people.
• 7:00
  Everyone I meet is nuts, you know, And it's just people from
• 7:04
  all walks of life. You've got the posts and you've
• 7:06
  got the drag Queens, you've got the step holders, everyone and
• 7:10
  anyone and but we're all just kind of on the same level and
• 7:13
  it's just, it's just brilliant. You just drive 2 hours away.
• 7:16
  You don't know where you're going.
• 7:17
  You sit there, you wait until your set and it's just fun.
• 7:20
  It's just so much fun. Never really sort of thought
• 7:23
  about stand up then that way. I just thought someone goes on
• 7:26
  stage, tells jokes and fucks off to the next show essentially.
• 7:29
  You know, from an outsider. But then the fact that you're
• 7:32
  all from different backgrounds. But it's common ground.
• 7:35
  It's so unique, isn't it? It's so unique and it's so fun.
• 7:40
  Like, you know, you're like on Friday night, I'm sat there
• 7:42
  with, you know, the, the, the postman who's become a good mate
• 7:46
  because I was at another gig with him the other night.
• 7:48
  And then there's, you know, Roger the welder.
• 7:51
  He's there and all these, all these people that, that you, you
• 7:55
  know, you'd never normally meet and you're, you're from
• 7:57
  different parts of the world and you're all there on your own.
• 8:00
  But yeah, there is this kind of mad common ground where you're
• 8:03
  all obviously a little bit weird to want to get up and tell jokes
• 8:07
  in front of a lot of people you don't know on a Friday night.
• 8:09
  But yeah, it just feels like I've kind of found my people a
• 8:12
  little bit like the weirdos. Were you guys where you've been
• 8:15
  all my life I've. Been waiting for you a lot where
• 8:18
  you've been. It's just brilliant.
• 8:20
  I'm just, I'm getting such a buzz from here.
• 8:22
  I'm just having so much fun. So and he said that you went to
• 8:26
  your friend for the first show and he thought I'm going to sign
• 8:28
  up and you ended up doing well and getting the trophy.
• 8:31
  Yeah, talking about the the weirdos that you've met, but
• 8:33
  basically community for stand up.
• 8:35
  I'll say that with love. Oh, 100%.
• 8:37
  But I want to talk about the reception that you received from
• 8:40
  your life, like your friends and your family, you know, have they
• 8:44
  all been like, oh, this is brilliant.
• 8:45
  We we want to hear you do this or have people like, oh wow, oh,
• 8:48
  didn't expect this. Yeah, people are kind of like,
• 8:51
  wow, OK, that's that's mad. I think people, anyone who knows
• 8:56
  me well, you know, even when I'm doing the school run or wherever
• 8:59
  I am, I'm always trying to make, not trying to make people laugh,
• 9:03
  but I just, I'm always thought I don't never really take anything
• 9:05
  too seriously. I was the class clown at school.
• 9:09
  You know, I love to tell a story.
• 9:11
  I love to do impressions of people.
• 9:13
  So I don't think people were necessarily surprised, but I
• 9:16
  think it was just a bit like, OK, it was a bit kind of random
• 9:19
  that I was actually getting on stage and doing it, but I
• 9:22
  haven't actually had anyone I know come to watch me yet
• 9:24
  because because I don't want the I don't, I kind of don't want
• 9:28
  the spells. Great.
• 9:29
  I know that sounds really weird, but I've got to start having
• 9:32
  people I know, you know, coming in and and watching me.
• 9:34
  But no, I haven't at the moment. I'm just kind of bit like The
• 9:38
  Lone Ranger. I get that.
• 9:41
  That makes sense. Just just floating around and
• 9:43
  doing my own thing. So you're saying about like, you
• 9:46
  know, you tell stories. How do you essentially come up
• 9:49
  with your material when you do do stand up?
• 9:52
  So it's today, it's literally my life.
• 9:57
  It's like my experiences. So I'll do, I'll go back to like
• 10:01
  the 80s, growing up in the 80s. Terry and I, I did Terry's
• 10:04
  podcast on Saturday and we talked about the 90s and how our
• 10:08
  parents, you know, they never took us to the hospital if we
• 10:11
  banged our heads or you know, it was such a different time back
• 10:13
  then. I saw that clip, that was quite.
• 10:15
  Did you say it again? But it's true like you know, you
• 10:17
  know, it just was. I think if you can talk to, if
• 10:21
  you can talk about the 80s, nineties, obviously I was, I was
• 10:23
  a kid, but if I've got a, you know, 6070 year old in the
• 10:27
  audience that resonates with him as well because he would, you
• 10:30
  know, he's got the perspective of the parents.
• 10:32
  So I'll just go back and talk about, you know, how how mad my
• 10:35
  mum and dad were, what it was, you know, what it was like at
• 10:38
  school. I talked a bit about like the
• 10:39
  midlife crisis and you know, all the sort of things you go
• 10:43
  through once you turn 40 and think people just resonate.
• 10:46
  I think because you know, if you, if you make a joke out of
• 10:49
  something that a lot of people are going through, I think it
• 10:53
  kind of you're, you're, you're massively sort of connecting
• 10:55
  with people when they can't and they say, Oh, you know what?
• 10:58
  And it's a really nice way of connecting with the audience,
• 11:01
  you know, rather than, you know, telling, telling a joke, you
• 11:05
  know, Bosh, Bosh, Bosh. I'm more kind of make make a
• 11:09
  sort of normal situation of, you know, see the funny side of it,
• 11:12
  you know? Because there's truth to it as
• 11:14
  well, that's the thing. 100%. They'll know if you're lying on
• 11:17
  stage, That's the thing. They will know.
• 11:20
  Exactly. It's relatable.
• 11:22
  It's relatable. It's also, you know, a girl will
• 11:25
  come up to me and go, Oh my God, you know, that happened to me
• 11:27
  and does it there and then it's, you know, it gives you this
• 11:30
  really nice kind of connection afterwards that you sort of
• 11:32
  carry on with, carry on the conversation, but you're sort of
• 11:35
  taking the piss out of it. Really.
• 11:37
  If you can take the piss out of yourself, then it just sort of
• 11:39
  minimizes the seriousness of everything, you know?
• 11:42
  I do it quite well. It makes me.
• 11:44
  Feel. Yeah, I do it everyday.
• 11:46
  Definitely helps. What do you say has been your
• 11:49
  best audience so far? My best audience, obviously
• 11:53
  Dirty Dogs was brilliant. You and you and Ken weren't
• 11:57
  there for myself, but I'm sure you would have, you would have
• 12:00
  been, you know, laughing at every single joke.
• 12:03
  And I had a really good time at I went to GMB comedy in the Bell
• 12:10
  in in the city. And this particular audience,
• 12:13
  there was some really lively girls in the audience.
• 12:16
  And a lot of the time and comedy club, there's a lot of men in
• 12:18
  the audience. And but this particular time
• 12:21
  there was some young girls and they were just, they were just
• 12:23
  there for a good time. Their energy was mad.
• 12:25
  They were shouting out and everything I was saying they
• 12:29
  were kind of coming back. And I really like that kind of
• 12:31
  back and forward with them. So, yeah, I think that that
• 12:34
  stands out because of those two girls in the audience.
• 12:37
  You know, they are really, really, you know, it became like
• 12:40
  me and them. Do you know what I mean?
• 12:41
  It was like I was doing it for those two girls.
• 12:43
  They were. They were feeling everything I
• 12:45
  was saying. It was lovely.
• 12:46
  If you used to come back on the podcast, let's say in a year's
• 12:49
  time, what was you about to achieved in your comedy career?
• 12:54
  So I would just like to keep doing what I'm doing.
• 12:58
  Obviously I'd like to get my sets to be longer.
• 13:02
  I'd like the audiences to get bigger.
• 13:05
  You know, ideally I'd like to be supporting some of the, you
• 13:08
  know, high profile comedians. You know, I know these this
• 13:11
  stuff takes time, but I like doing the smaller, you know, the
• 13:14
  smaller night and the open minds and stuff that.
• 13:17
  More intimate, isn't it? Yeah, exactly.
• 13:19
  Yeah, exactly. It'd be good to do maybe like a
• 13:22
  bigger crowd and just kind of get, might, yeah, get get maybe
• 13:25
  just more of a more of a postponer on stage and, and just
• 13:29
  be able to kind of take it further afield really.
• 13:33
  Wicked, if you had any jokes that haven't exactly gone over
• 13:37
  with the crowd very well. I don't mean, like, offensive,
• 13:39
  but like, just bombed on stage because I thought every comedian
• 13:42
  has that story. Yeah.
• 13:45
  So it's really weird because there's I've got jokes that I've
• 13:48
  said and one night, for example, everyone has cried and laughed
• 13:52
  and it's gone down really well. And I've been like, that's
• 13:54
  amazing. So I'm more confident the next
• 13:56
  time. And then I'll say it the next
• 13:58
  time and it's just like complete, complete silence.
• 14:03
  Like they either haven't got it or it's the wrong night or it's
• 14:06
  not the right vibe. And then I'm just, you know, and
• 14:09
  then it's just like, well, I really don't know about whether
• 14:11
  this joke's going to land next time or not.
• 14:13
  So yeah, you don't, you don't kind of get rid of it, but you
• 14:15
  sort of maybe reframe it the next time.
• 14:17
  What? Do you think makes a good stand
• 14:19
  up comedian? I think you've got to be able to
• 14:24
  read the room, you've got to be able to work the crowd and I
• 14:29
  think you've probably got to adapt on the night.
• 14:32
  So if you've got a certain set in your head and they're not and
• 14:35
  they're not getting it and they're not rolling with it, I
• 14:37
  think you've got to be able to be sharp and think on your feet.
• 14:40
  And obviously you've got to be a bit weird and a bit mad to do it
• 14:43
  all in the first place. You cannot be normal in comedy.
• 14:46
  No, no, no, normal. Normal just doesn't wash.
• 14:49
  Don't be any normal comedians anyway, that's the thing.
• 14:51
  No, I don't think so. I'm trying to think.
• 14:53
  I don't think there is one. No, I mean.
• 14:55
  I wouldn't call Terry no more. I'm not saying the bad head by
• 14:57
  the way, Terry, just just so you know, I think you're awesome and
• 14:59
  your mate, but I just he's amazing person, but.
• 15:03
  No, but he actually, he actually said, we actually had this
• 15:05
  conversation on this podcast. He was like, we're not normal,
• 15:08
  are we? He said it's just not normal.
• 15:09
  I said no, but that's why I'm sort of having so much fun
• 15:12
  because it's like you're meeting people that also are just kind
• 15:16
  of sort of out there and what you know, off the cuff as you
• 15:20
  are, it's it's quite refreshing. Nice.
• 15:23
  Got a fun question for you. I asked all my guests this.
• 15:27
  Yeah, that Normally it's a wrestling question.
• 15:28
  Don't worry, there's not going to be a wrestling.
• 15:30
  Question. I know it's a wrestling.
• 15:31
  I might surprise you. 3 dream dinner guests for your dream
• 15:35
  party. You're the host, past or
• 15:37
  present, dead or alive, fiction, non fictional, doesn't matter.
• 15:41
  But I want three people. You'll be the best one.
• 15:44
  You'd be surprised to the answers I've had for this, by
• 15:46
  the way. Jennifer Saunders affected her.
• 15:49
  Jennifer Saunders? Who else would I have?
• 15:53
  Oh God, I'm terrible on the spot.
• 15:58
  Bet you say Lee Evans. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 16:01
  I'm. Sorry, I just like never don't
• 16:04
  like he. Like there's something about
• 16:05
  Mary. I think he's just shitting it.
• 16:08
  You know what? I think it's because he's sort
• 16:10
  of over, over icked it. You can tell him he's very, he's
• 16:13
  very sort of grateful to get a part in a Hollywood film and he
• 16:16
  kind of overdoes it. Yeah, like the American accent.
• 16:19
  Just a bit questionable. Yeah, he is.
• 16:21
  Yeah, he's a bit annoying. He's just completely retired
• 16:24
  from the scene now, isn't he? Just lives a really quiet life.
• 16:26
  I was reading it the other day. He doesn't.
• 16:27
  Do anything. I can't say I'm sad, but.
• 16:29
  No, you'll be all right with that.
• 16:32
  Yeah, I love Jim Carrey. Favorite Jim Carrey film?
• 16:38
  Another bonus question. Favorite Jim Carrey film?
• 16:41
  I'd find I'd really struggle to choose one but I love the yes
• 16:48
  man. All the films I don't mind it,
• 16:52
  but. Yes, I love it.
• 16:55
  I love the meaning, love the meaning behind it.
• 16:57
  I love. What else do I love?
• 17:00
  I love all of his films. What's your favorite Jim Carrey
• 17:02
  film? Oh, I never get asked a question
• 17:04
  on my own podcast, Truman Show maybe might have said.
• 17:09
  Truman Yeah, I like The Truman Show, although it does get a
• 17:12
  little bit dark, don't you think?
• 17:14
  I know, but I love it. Just a dark comedy.
• 17:16
  I think it's kind of perfect for me personally.
• 17:18
  I've never seen the cinema and I just felt in love of it and I've
• 17:21
  watched it so many times. Maybe the sunshine.
• 17:24
  Of the chocolate spotless wine. Yeah, I loved it.
• 17:27
  It was brilliant. One of the films I've kind of
• 17:29
  come back and watch sometimes and a bit down, and I think you
• 17:31
  like it. You know, I've got Truman Show
• 17:37
  guns in my head, Yeah. Do you know what maybe I'm
• 17:42
  saying? Yes, ma'am, because I've watched
• 17:43
  it recently and I think where where I was, the place I was in
• 17:47
  in my life. Like you say, you go back and
• 17:48
  watch a film, it kind of hit a bit different.
• 17:51
  The mood I was in at the at the time I watched it and I was
• 17:53
  like, you know what? And I just loved the kind of
• 17:57
  meaning of the film about kind of opening up doors and where I
• 18:00
  was at the time and a bit of a crossroads in my life.
• 18:03
  I think it really resonated. I probably wouldn't have said
• 18:05
  that a year ago. You know, I might have said
• 18:07
  like, liar, liar or something. I love him in that film.
• 18:09
  Stop breaking the law, asshole. You can tell the truth.
• 18:15
  Have you seen him now though? He's gone all like majorly
• 18:18
  spiritual. Yes, I watched.
• 18:21
  What's the film? It's Man the Moon, and it's a
• 18:24
  documentary about the film. It's on Netflix and it's him and
• 18:27
  Andy Kaufman. And he's just so spiritual.
• 18:29
  It's like, oh, I became Andy. I was him.
• 18:32
  But everyone else is like, you're just annoying the fuck
• 18:34
  out of me. But Jim Carrey's like I am Andy
• 18:35
  Kaufman, yeah. Yeah, I saw a red carpet
• 18:40
  interview with him. And they're like, so how how is
• 18:42
  it tonight? Like, what do you think It's
• 18:43
  like the Oscars or something? And he's just like, I'm not
• 18:46
  here. I don't exist.
• 18:47
  You don't exist. Time doesn't exist.
• 18:49
  The woman's like, OK, none of this exists.
• 18:52
  He's like, it doesn't matter. It's just ridiculous.
• 18:54
  It's point. It's pointless.
• 18:56
  I'm not doing Perry. I'm just a pigment of your
• 18:58
  imagination. And she was just like, right.
• 19:02
  He's gone deep. Yeah, I hope so.
• 19:04
  Three does well, by the way. Yeah, good.
• 19:07
  Exactly, he's gone, he's gone mega deep.
• 19:08
  But no, I love him. I think he's great.
• 19:11
  Who would be #3? So, James Saunders, Jim.
• 19:14
  Carrey, Jim. Carrey, Jennifer Saunders,
• 19:19
  because she's just my idol, full stop.
• 19:22
  And while I'm thinking of my third, can I ask who yours are?
• 19:26
  Oh, that's a tough. Tough.
• 19:30
  Question. It's tough, isn't it?
• 19:32
  OK, so Oh my God, I've never been asked this.
• 19:35
  Wow, first time. Oh, no.
• 19:39
  Right. Number one, I'm going to go with
• 19:42
  The Rock. I know it's a bit of a boring
• 19:44
  answer. Dwayne Johnson, he.
• 19:45
  Might come to mine as well to be fair. #2 Thierry Henry.
• 19:50
  Arsenal. Are you Arsenal?
• 19:51
  Yep. Come on, can I be the first?
• 19:55
  Because I actually I like to scatter that party.
• 19:57
  Yeah. Go on.
• 20:01
  Not really. I think #3 probably wants to go
• 20:04
  for that sentimental like say like my Nan or something like.
• 20:09
  I didn't go for anyone sentimental.
• 20:10
  Yeah, I think based on past answers as well, I'm just like,
• 20:13
  yeah, like OK, I put the 2 legends, but there's there's
• 20:16
  another conversation with her, you know?
• 20:19
  Yeah, of course would obviously then I'd go for my dad because I
• 20:21
  lost my dad six years ago, literally yesterday, six years
• 20:25
  ago yesterday. So I think you always, like,
• 20:28
  immediately think of like famous people, don't you?
• 20:30
  But then obviously you did say famous, not famous.
• 20:33
  So yeah, I'd have my dad there as well.
• 20:35
  I don't know how that go down, My dad, Jim Carrey and Jennifer
• 20:38
  Saunders, but. What would you have for serving
• 20:41
  them by the way? Just to sort of wrap this
• 20:44
  perfect event up for you. What would I have?
• 20:47
  What? What would I feed them?
• 20:49
  Yeah, what would you feed them? What would I feed them?
• 20:55
  I'd probably do one of my homemade curries in a in a big
• 20:58
  in a big bowl in the middle and everyone could just help
• 21:01
  themselves. Nice fresh produce.
• 21:04
  That's so boring, isn't it? Not at all.
• 21:07
  What? Would you want to do, Sir?
• 21:09
  Probably go Nando's like 5 times.
• 21:12
  You go, you go easy, you go delivery, getting out.
• 21:18
  But then I feel like with the rock, he'll, he'll be OK with
• 21:20
  that. But Tianri, you know, he might
• 21:21
  want to be classier, you know, just like, you know, like.
• 21:26
  I would like sort of something, something kind of like a Cocker
• 21:30
  van or something like that, something French.
• 21:33
  Then I'll have my nan who probably just would happy with
• 21:35
  like some haggis, you know, Paloni or something like that,
• 21:39
  or white pudding, you know? Yeah, Scottish, in case anyone
• 21:42
  doesn't gamble by this point I. Was.
• 21:45
  Going to say yeah me name of random dishes in Scotland.
• 21:49
  Yeah. No connection.
• 21:53
  But I like both our meals, both our selections.
• 21:55
  I think it's wicked, the dream dinner class.
• 21:57
  That's why I like the question as well.
• 21:58
  People can open up, they can switch off as sort of, you know,
• 22:01
  getting to the end of the interview and just like you to
• 22:04
  have a think, but sort of ending a high or even a bit emotional.
• 22:07
  But it's good, it's awesome, that's awesome, it's wicked.
• 22:12
