  Speaker 1: The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason Sam.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast. Today we're
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: joined by a wonder all human being, Graham Norton. Gosh,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: he's done some things and he's even done another thing
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: another book.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Five books now, yeah, five books all written from a
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: female perspective, and we have so many.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: Questions about that, including we need to get you into
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: a hobby.
• 0:22
  Speaker 5: Are you all doing good thing?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: It's got us venaman that listince we caught up. In fact,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: last time we caught up, Graham, you told us that
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: you were eating a Scotch dig on your way home
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: from the supermarket, and you begged us not to tell
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: you your husband. So we've we've kept the secret. It
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: didn't get out of Hope.
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: I think that did end up in the press.
• 0:41
  Speaker 6: It certainly ended up in the press here. I remember
• 0:44
  Speaker 6: that it was great.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: But we thought, like, if you're going to get into
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: a little bit of meat when you shouldn't, there's nothing
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: better than a Scotch dig. Though it is it a
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: regular thing.
• 0:53
  Speaker 7: They really are lovely. What I love about the miss
• 0:55
  Speaker 7: They're so mysterious. I have no idea how you would
• 0:57
  Speaker 7: make a Scotch egg on the runny yoke?
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: How do you do that?
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: That's that's ridiculous. Come on, hell, how can it be?
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Don't you just wrap an egg and some and some
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: would you think about it? Yeah?
• 1:09
  Speaker 7: If it's a soft spoiled egg and then you deep
• 1:12
  Speaker 7: that fry it? How come it doesn't cook? Yeah?
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Not have this?
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Have you never considered the bomble esca, which is effectively
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: fried ice cream.
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: That's just from a guy that doesn't cook anything.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: So speaking of speaking of someone who does, though, how
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: good friend Nigella lawcense she was beriffed when she ended
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: your your your latest book, Frankie.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: So I think it means she was sad it was over.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, no kind of like, oh.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: My god, I heard him a favor of reading. No, no, no,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: so brilliantly in high praise for such a wonderful woman
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: to congratulations.
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: No, I mean it was really nice. This book, Franky,
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: seems to be landing a bit different. People seem to
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: be really keyed on it. I mean, I've got away
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: with it so far.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: This is book five, but this one people do seem
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: to be enjoying it a bit more.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hang on a minute you say this one hits different.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: All your others are best sellers and winning awards everywhere.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Don't try and tell us that the others won't good.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: But why is it heading differently?
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: What's different about it?
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Here's the thing. Maybe it's better. I
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: don't know.
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: I mean, it is the fifth one I've written, and
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: I you know, you hope that. I think the plan
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: is you might get better at these things.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: So maybe this one is better. I don't.
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure, but it's I think it's a more
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: emotional book.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: It tells kind of a bigger story. It's a story
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: of a one woman's life, so it's kind of more immersive.
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: I think.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: I think you get lost in it a way that
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: maybe you didn't get lost in the other ones.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: You're an order bugger eight like, in the nicest possible way,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: you're running from a female perspective in the nineteen sixties.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Why did you place yourself there?
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: And female? Well, I'm very old and very in touch
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: with my feminine side, even I don't know. I mean,
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: I like writing about I do like writing from a
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: female perspective. Most of my books aren't told that way,
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: and I think it's because you know, women are there
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: are more interesting. You know, I think the way women
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: live their lives is more nuanced.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Boys.
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: You know, boys are a bit a bit like dogs
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: in that way. You know, can I eat it or
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: you know, you know the rest of the.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, as far as we go.
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: Whereas I think, because women are dealing with those men,
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: they navigate life in a much more kind of interesting way.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: And I find that more interesting.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: That's remarkable.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: How many years has it taking you to come to
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: that realization, because I know a lot of me and
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: who haven't.
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: Well, honestly, I do think being gay helps because then
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: I'm also dealing with men, you know.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: So I think no one of us.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: Do you think we haven't evolved in that perspective?
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Do you think we're still stuck in the stone ages
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: of meaning in the way they communicate?
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: No, I think I think men wash now in a
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: way that maybe they didn't before. But you know, there's
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: a bit of manscaping going on in that face.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: There, So yeah, you've evolved.
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: He's not a shining example.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: That's why I'm kind of.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Taking on the criticisms, to be honest, because to be honest,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I'm not a great communicator and I haven't washed.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: So there you go.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Well, okay, so sorry I was I was overstating the case.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: You were right the first time.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: G Yeah.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: But in the book, there's this delightful, charming, very caring
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: a guy called Damien who listens a lot and he
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: happens to be from Ireland. Has Damien based anyway close
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: to home?
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: I mean, he's I mean, it's based on lots of
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: lot of young Irish people. You know, he left Ireland
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: because he kind of thought thought he couldn't live his
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: life here. I'm saying here because I'm in Ireland as
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: I speak to you, and and so left and went
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: to London, and certainly.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: That was my experience. I felt like I needed to
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: get out of Dodge.
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: But really I used him because he is the care
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: for an old woman and because they're from the same
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: place in Ireland, that kind of is sparks her, kind
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: of ignites her to start telling her life story to him.
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: So it was really just kind of a device. I mean,
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: you know, I don't I did a bit of research
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: to this book, but there's a lot that you know,
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: I make things easy for myself as I can.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I did so prerogative, though, you're allowed to do that, Graham.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: I want to know where you're in your life at
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: the moment. Obviously, the writing books that takes up a
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: lot of time.
