Episode Date: August 12, 2026

(Warning, I think this guest swears more than me!) Before we entered Lockdown 2.0 in November 2020, we had the pleasure of high tea’ing with a young gentleman by the name of Yungblud at mum's. Whilst sipping on champagne and eating sausage rolls, Yungblud (real name Dominic) talks all about Hobnobs, Yorkshire tea & his mum’s Doncaster cake shop ‘Jaffa & Cakes’, named after the family sausage dog. He tells us about his rockstar lifestyle; hanging out in 'Hollyweird', nights out with Brooklyn Beckham, elephant tattoos & just wanting a pint of lager at Noma, the best restaurant in the world. Dominic has now released 2 additional albums since we met - ‘Yungblud’ & ‘Idols’ are both out now!Listen & watch Table Manners here - https://tablemanners.komi.io/Follow Table Manners on:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tablemannerspodcast/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@tablemannerspodcastFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/tablemannerspodcastYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TableMannersPodcast Hosted on Acast.

Hi darling. Bye. See you soon. Hello and welcome to Second Helping's 2026. We have, for our guests this week, Youngblood, who came on the podcast in November 2020. That blew my mind. What did? Youngblood.

Oh, I love him so much. Dom is such a fantastic human. It's before we entered lockdown. around 2.0. And so we had Thai tea with Young Blood at Mum's. And we had all the windows open and I think we had to be separated

from each other slightly. We had to do the photo outside and he came over to talk about his album, weird. Didn't Young Blood have makeup on? He certainly had black nails on it. Yeah, I'm sure he had a bit of eyeliner on. And he had eyeliner on.

And now and again, the picture of him and us together comes up on my memories. Memories. And then I see it. Who's that? And then I realise who it is. Yeah, it was high tea with champagne.

sausage rolls, sandwiches and a lot of swearing. So brace yourself, he swears even more than me, young blood coming up on second helpings. Hi, Dom. Howia? How are you? Oh my God, you are. You are a star. I feel like I'm in the presence of a star. Really?

Yes. Oh, that's mental. You're like, you've got it, baby. I don't tell me that. No, but it's, and you are, I think, the youngest person we've ever had on this fucking podcast. Yeah. I mean, you were born in 96. 97, actually.

97? 97. 97, yeah. Shit. I remember the year as well. So you're young, led, I'm old blood. I'm into that. I'm into that. I love it.

Your mother's probably younger than Jesse. My mum's, my mum is, my mum's, my mum's 50 this year. Okay, yeah. I'm not 50 years. But how's things?

Good man, like, it's all a bit weird, in it? Yeah. It's all a bit bizarre. Yeah. But I don't know,

I'm happy. I literally got home two months ago, so I'm happy to be back in the UK. Where have you been? I was in Los Angeles. I was in Lise. Do you not like it? I hate it.

I love Los Angeles. I don't know why. I'm just so British. Like I love obnubs and Yorkshire tea. I mean the tea is shit. It's so shit. You've not made that brew long enough. No, I'm actually into it, man.

I kind of like it. It's better. At least it's an English tea bag. Yeah. Well, I mean, probably not. But like typical, typical British person. I like Yorkshire. You don't get Yorkshire too.

No, it's too strong for me. That's English breakfast. But lit it's the extra strong. The Lichten shit And it's like So where were you living in Illinois? I was living in Venice Beach Oh it's gorgeous

I mean it was gorgeous What's the thing about it It's like cold and wet And sigs And pints And like You can't get that Yeah

You can't get that out there And it was like It's all right But it's like I just find people A bit full of shit out there I'm kind of like Tell the truth

Till the truth So it gets me in trouble Do you know what I mean Like most of the time It's like Oh shit I shouldn't I said that Do you know what I mean

If someone's like Do you know like my jumper? I'm like, not really. Do I mean, I'll say it in like the nicest way possible. Mum has just said, so Don, we've got some balloons in the house. Dom, yeah, we're actually going to

Yeah, well anyway, for people that can't see Youngblood, he has a skull jumper on. It's really nice.

And my mum, I don't know why you've got these but mum's got balloons. There you go. You're sorted. Was it for Halloween, mum? There you go. You're sorted. Do you know what? I love it. I'm going to, can I nick somebody to put up in my house for Halloween? Thank you so much man. So, so I mean food, tell me, growing up in Doncaster. Oh yeah. What's like a memorable meal from your childhood? Bang is a mash. Always like stews. Like my mum would make like me, to be honest, my mum like runs a cake shop. She's got a little cake shop. You're kidding. No, I promise you. Jesse.

Oh shit and my cakes Sorry in the middle. I'm definitely getting the queen of the last of the same. She's probably listening now but my sisters are all the work to be honest. My sisters do like the cake maker. My mum's going to kill me. How many brothers and sisters?

I got two younger sisters. Two little, two girls. So they're born in like 2000. Yeah, Izzy's 13 and Gem's 22. So Jem's a year younger than me and Izzy's 13. I think that I think that like one night on the red wine to be honest. Do you know what I mean? I think they're like, my mum was like,

I want to have a baby. my dad's like, what? And then she came out and she's definitely the favourite kid. Is she? Absolutely. She's the middle one. Oh, no, she's the youngest. The youngest is the favourite.

Yeah, complete light. Oh, fancy that. Yeah, that's like Dr. Alex too. Oh, Dr. Alex. Yeah, exactly. It doesn't matter. I'm a pop star. You don't need to say anything.

You can't trump that. Exactly. He's a doctor, you know, Alex. Alex, she's a doctor. I had to put it in, but usually it's my mom. She was like, my son. And she kind of, does it like she's apologising for you because you're not a doctor.

You're not quite a doctor. It's like you are not as good as my little boy. Or people will say, your daughter's an actress. Oh, your daughter's a singer. And I say, yeah. I say it asks me about my son. Anyway, so the middle one works in the cake shop. Yeah, Gem's like a crazy cut and it's mad.

Like I think she like kind of learned from me more than me, and like they're just the best. So what were your birthday cakes like? If your mum had a cake shop, did she have a cake shop then? Yeah, pretty mental. No, she got it, like, my mom had a bad car accident a couple years ago, actually, which was a bit, which was so sad, like, she nearly, like, we nearly lost, to be honest. But she used insurance money to kind of, she always had a dream of having a cake shop.

So she was like, do you know what? Well, that's something positive. You know, that's something bad. That, like, proper northern woman broke her back in, like, two places. I had a mad operation. Seven months later, she's, like, running around in a cake shop. So rock and roll More of a punk than me

What's it called the cake shop? Jaffer and cakes Because she's got a little sausage dog That's orange and black Called Jaffa cake So she's like Jaffer and cakes I love it Because dogs always in shop

You know what I mean? Does she serve a cup of tea as well Everything like cup of tea Sandwiches Sandwiches sausage rolls Oh god I think Oh god darling Why have we done high tea then?

I'm too loud No Everyone used to say to me in school, everyone I used to say to me in school, energy not volume. Energy not volume. Do you know what I mean? Every single person who's ever met me.

Don, we just want energy, not volume. I'm always like, alright. So were you very clever at school? I was, to be honest, I was good at what I wanted to be good at, I feel. All right, so what you're good at? I loved history. I loved history.

Aided Maths. Got suspended for Moonium and Maths teacher. What did you do? Paul the Moon at my maths teacher. I love that. Yeah. Why? Because you hated maths

But why? Because you got the question room No, it was just like I don't know man I think to be honest Like in school Everyone knew I always loved performing

Do I mean I was like I would Half the time I wouldn't even go to maths I'd be scyving in the music centre I remember All my mates were like Yo

A day to me and Miss Amel And I was like Nah no no no I'm not doing that I'm not doing that I'm going go on down Go on down Go on go on

I'm like I'm not doing it man I'm just not going to do it. They're like, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on. I was like, all right, then. Bang, pull my bum out and press it against the glass. Just get suspended. Oh, dude. Like, you should have seen it, like, walked in, like, two classes later, two hours later. The deputy's head walks in, it's like, you know exactly who you are. Get out of this classroom now. And I'm like, oh, this is, this is bad, bad.

Like, it's kind of a bad. And then there's like a bad bad. I'm like, all right, cool. I'm probably going to get expelled and I'm not going to be able to become a doctor. So, I mean, so, like, mum's not going to be. But everyone's going to want. to see your bum in the future. Yeah, exactly, and that's what I'm saying. Have you showed your bum ever to anyone else since? In public. In public?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, I learned that lesson very much, very quickly to me. The deputy heir pulls me into his office, and he's suspending me, but he's laughing. He's like, can't hold his humoring. So he's like, um, we're going to have to... Who's calling? That's my mom. Oh, answer.

Oh, say her. Your fans are devoted beyond. They are the best. All it was about for me was kind of building a culture. Because like in Donnie it was great, but a lot of people didn't get me. Do you know what I mean? I was always like wearing, like I want to wear makeup and I wanted to kind of wear skirts and was always very loud and very opinionated.

And are people low with people being free? You know what I mean? Especially in a place like that where it's like, we're setting our ways we know what we want we like everything's been done a certain way if anyone tries to disrupt the status quo you're gonna get your ass smacked you know what I mean your mom and dad didn't mind you no how you're not my dad saw guitars for a living okay so he was pretty much and yeah my dad saw it all do you know what I mean and then my mom literally would paint my nails and straight at me air and she's just mental you know what I mean so she loved it

but then I was like I just want to build a culture I like I can't exist in this world and It made me like kind of hate myself and kind of be like, I'm just such a weirdo. You know what I mean? Why am I different? And I was like, if I can't belong in this world, so I'm going to build a world I can belong in for myself. And if there's anyone out there like me, I don't want them to feel like this. So I want them to be able to exist in a place that is accepting no matter what color you

are, what sexuality you are, what size shape you are, whatever you want to wear, whatever you want to look like, whatever you want to say. And basically I just started putting out music with that message. And I would just like, is there anyone out there like me? And like, fuck me, man. There were a lot of them. Yeah, like millions. And it's like, it's literally like I always kind of, it's like me having a conversation with three million kids.

It's like the music's second. It's just about talking. And it's always like plays with my head. Because once you get into the music industry, like, Epline, once you're going to get like a label and start to get big or whatever. everyone's always talking about like hits and whatever and it was like I never really cared about that like it's great that the songs do well and it streams it's like I just wanted to play stadiums

you just want to play just that yeah but you know I mean that would kind of require a hit right I mean well or not so I don't say it's like when I look at it like I want to build my career like the Stone Roses did like the Stone Roses did like two nights at Spideck because it was a culture you know I mean it's like I don't I don't know you know you know I mean, what? Like, at Marilyn Manson, did he ever have a number one hit? No, but he had number one albums, and he had a culture, and he plays the biggest shows ever.

Do you know what I mean? I think, like, it would be great. Like, trust me, it'd be like, sick, cool, I got an hit song, but it's like, I don't really think about that when I'm right. I just want to tell the truth, you know what I mean? Has it been quite a weight, having this kind of responsibility of being this messenger for this youth and kind of, or, I mean, have you ever got yourself into trouble?

because I can imagine all these people are watching, waiting on every word. Completely. It's like a proper conversation. It's literally like I'm having Christmas dinner with 3 million people. You know what I mean? So it's like because that boundary, like there is no boundaries in my fan base. There's literally not. It's not like, kill, I had a great show.

I'm going to get in me Mercedes, fucking Viana, with a bottle of champagne. You know what I mean? It's like after every show at, no matter. Now we're like moving into like arenas and I'm like, I'm going to be outside the show. I was at 100 seat and I'm figuring that out. Like putting a platform in the car park

and going to meet everyone afterwards. Do you know what I mean? Because that's what it's about. I kind of like that more than been on stage. So it's about connecting. Completed. It's about connecting person by person. That's what I said at beginning.

Like, I was at this music industry event in L.A., obviously. And this guy, like, I think this music industry person comes up to me, he's like, got a bit of fucking canopy on his shirt. You know what I mean? And he's like, what's the formula man? Oh, that's no. I'm like, what? I mean, come on, what's the formula?

Like, it's all a load of bollocks. And I'm just like, tell the truth, speak to someone person by person. Do you know what I mean? It's like, it's kind of... Because they, the thing I think, you're very unique, aren't you?

And you're like, but you are. I mean, there is only one young blood, right? But yeah, it's mad. But it's this thing. And the industry want what you've got. Completely. And they want to take it

and be able to terminate. apply it to someone else. No, exactly. It is hilarious that it starts off as no one in the, like when we started out, no one gave a shit. No one didn't even write something bad about us. I wish someone would be like, this is the shittest thing I've ever heard. I wish people would be like, this is the worst thing.

But it just didn't bother. This didn't bother. There was like, just like a B-ray Arctic monkeys. I was like, okay, I understand your point slightly. But, but just listen to what I have to say and you might learn something. And then it just started working in like the most odd places. Like I remember going to the Netherlands and there were like 200 kids at a show lined up, camped out as the would do now.

I was like, wow. How long ago was that? Probably three years ago, two and a half years ago. And when your first record came out when? 2018. Okay. 2018, yeah. So you were just 20?

Just turned 20, yeah. Yeah. So just let me I just got to catch up a little bit So you get excluded from school You're a bit of a bad boy But you entertain everybody A lovable road

That was it man I was like Out like Do I mean if I wanted to get an A I kind of You could Do I mean it's like Did you get GCSEs? Yeah I did yeah

I got an A star in English literature I didn't even read the book Do you know Wow One of those people that winged Because I just blagging it I was just like form it, forming a fucking opinions about like, I don't. You must have known a little bit.

I can't even remember. Which was the book? No, I knew a little. It was important to be earnest. I mean, I remember and I formulated some answer that Jack and Algernon were it secretly in a gay relationship. Well, I think that was, yeah. I know, but like you can potentially take that, but then I ran with it for a whole essay.

And it must have been like, oh, wow, this must have been blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Do you know what I mean? And do I mean, if I wanted to do it, whereas I turned up to my physics, GCSC, high. Do you know what I mean? I'd like smoke to spliff in the park my mate before it. So like...

How did that work out for you? Not really got a D. Do you know what I mean? No, it was like, if I was into it, like, or drama, I'd just be studying and studying and studying and studying all music. I knew every single piece of music back to front and play it backwards.

Did you leave school at 16? I left school to come to, to London at 16. I don't know what year, but I was 16. If I'm 23 now, that is. Five years ago. Seven years ago. We all did well in math.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, seven years ago. So who did you live with? I live with a lady called Marge. Why? Because I did that. It was cheap. It was 70 quid a week for an house share.

And I met my best mate there, James. And we are chalk and cheese. Like, I don't talk about this very often. This is a funny story. So I moved out of London, right? I mean, like, hounds. slow and I'm like thinking big city so well. That's what I'm saying

it's actually not London, it's middle sex but all right. It was saying you know what I mean potato potato and I go into the house and I'm like I meet my friend and my mate I'm like hello mate how are you pretending to be Liam Gallagher. He's like hello I'm nice to me I'm James from Portsmouth

and like he's like the polar opposite to me. Tourette's OCD like folds his socks kind of shit I mean I'm like socks or under my bed. Why was he there? Because he was like, he was in London as well. We were going to go, I was

doing what? I was going to go to art school. Where are you going to go? I was going to go to arts educational school in Shizzing, right? Oh yeah, that's what I'm playing. So were you going to be doing like performing last? I was just think, I was like, I was going to do drama. I was going to do music and I was like, God, there's so much in there. I was just like plowing through my life. I'm kind of looking at it like mad. And it was weird, bro, because I was like, music. I wanted to do music.

I want to be in a band, but it seems so hard to me. So I was like, cool, I might do theatre for a bit. And then I did a couple shows. I did a show in Manchester. I did West Side Story and the director riff in West Side Story. Wow. Now you're talking. That's what I'm saying.

Is that boy? Boy. Yeah, we're in your age, that kind of shit. Do you know what I mean? And I was like, I did that. And I met a choreographer called Drew McCone. Because I wanted to do it with people that it would be. It would be 15-year-old young people.

In West Side Story, it wouldn't be 25-year-olds playing 15-year-olds. as real young people, which was sick. And the choreographer was like, listen, I can point in a word at art said because I think you should train now. I was like, all right, cool, let's try it, be sick. Got in, met James, completely chalk and cheese.

He'd be like, hello, how are you? Like, I'm the best kid in the world. He's still my best mate, so I can just take the piss out of him like that. He's like, oh, I'll be back by seven. And I've not been home in three days. And March is ringing me mom like, he's been out. Well, she wasn't from Doncaster. So she was from the nose.

off, but she looked like Cher, to be honest. It's kind of cool. She's quite spooky, and she made so much lasagna. Fuck me. She made a lasagna every two days, and I was skinned, so I lived on lasagna. Did you like it? Do you eat it a lot now? No, I didn't like it.

It's like, scorn me for life. I'm sorry, Marge, no offense. But it scar me for fucking life because it was like so gloopy. And it was fine, but it was like the gloopiest lasagna you've ever had. It's like, I could feel it through my artery. And I would live off it because I'd spend all my money on, What? Beer.

Like, do you know what? You're not like beer. We've never got any beer in the chairs. No, it's all right, it's all right. But I'd be like, do you know what I was doing? I was like at my mate's party or whatever or, and it was just funny because I, me and me and James were quite good influences on each other because he would straighten me out a bit. So if we had like lines to learn, he'd make sure I learned my lines.

And I'd just be like, come on, man, you've been sat in your room for three days. We're going to do something naughty now? Do you know what I mean? Like, let's go to park and ask someone to get us some beer in the show. or whatever, I don't know. And then, yeah, it was, it was great. Where does James live now? He lives in Chiswick still.

And he's vibing. And what's he doing? He moved from Hounslow to Chiswick. He's like, he's an actor, but he's having an hard time right now. Oh, gosh. Shame. Because of the, yeah, exactly, there's no Jofs right now. So he's like, he's good though, man.

He's like, he's like teaching a lot and he's inspiring and he's cool. Was Doncaster ready for you? I don't know. I mean, do you know what's interesting? I'm playing my first show in Doncaster. I was going to ask that. And I've avoided it for as long as I could. Why?

I bet it's the biggest crowd. Yeah, that's what I'm saying to it. A lot goes on in Domcast. Dude, that's, I mean, it's giving me the biggest crowd. My mum's going to have a guestless like 700. Tell me about it. It's a nightmare. It's mental.

Do you crowd surf? Oh, yeah. Do it all. I've had so much. I've had so much nicked off me in the thing. Really. Because to grab it, but not intentionally. Oh, take those balloons next time.

You make me balloons. Stick them on. Weirdest, yeah dude Like weirdest thing was in When we're in Warsaw in Poland They broke the barrier They're amazing They're the best

Is that one of your biggest places? Yeah dude The craziest thing was Milan Milan was mad right Song two Right song two in Milan Just warm up Yeah just on like gone on

Madness Massive show And I see this little Italian man Walk to the side of the stage I'm like, why is it? I'm like, you don't look like you in my fan base. Like, you know what I mean? Like, bold and, you know what I mean?

Little mustache. I'm like, why is he coming on stage? All right. And he comes on stage. He's like, there's been 75 casualties and it's song too. And I'm like, because I'm like, it's not your fault. But that's what I'm saying, it's hilarious.

And it's like, you have to calm them down. And he's like, shouting him. I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm hearing screams from the front from the most incredible Italian crowd ever. Because Italian crowds are just like, I've never played. The best. Like I cry every time because they just sing and it's just like what the like, do you know what I mean?

What the fuck? And basically I had to calm them down because with my crowds, it's like it's usually like younger girls and boys at the front who've been queuing outside of days. So what's your average age of kids? I don't know. It's kind of weird. Like I'm very much growing up with them. Like they're just like my family man. It's like it kind of starts with 15 to 18 year.

rolls at the front and then there's the kids beating the shit out of each other behind them and then it goes all the way back to like do they throw a beer oh no they're just laughing it's like the best crowd in the world like everyone's just like do they have older people oh completely like would i be the oldest say young lad there's literally a nan there's like there's like everyone calls a nan like the no her for all the world like she's on the front row at a time it's a nan in the from the UK no stop I swear to God everyone calls a nan and everyone's like my family fan base call the black arts club themselves the black arts clubs

the tattoos of my fingers that they get we'll go into it in a second I know so much man and that's just how much of a family we are I mean it's like everyone just knows each other

I need to know this is that is a thing Jessica I probably would Well if you're lonely on tall And you've got this big old family. It's got his crew. It's weird.

It's like, it's not like that. It's very odd. Do you know what I mean? It's like, people do ask me that a lot. I just, I don't, I know. Do you know what I mean? I'm just like. Darling, do they all look like you?

Everyone's got, it's like a uniform, man. Like, I, um, I. So they've all got this red hair. So they've all, they call themselves a black arts club. And I got, I was at in L.A. When I had like, I don't know, 7,000 followers on Instagram, like, just been signed or something. Maybe more, I don't know.

And I was out with Brooklyn Beckham and Anwar Hadid for some reason. As you do. As you do. Excuse me. That's what I'm saying. I had a mate who'd introduce me to Brooklyn and Brooklyn's like... Is he lovely? He's the best.

He's very charming. Yeah, he's very charming. And like, he's just like British. And like, we're just like talking about Ribina and football. You know what I mean? In L.A. So we're like... Excuse me, what's your team?

Oh, Doncaster Rovers. I know, yeah. No, no, no, it's fine. I know, what's your team? Man, you. Is it? Yeah. But I mean, I compliment you.

But I have something saying, but it's like, I have a bit of a connection with Leeds United as well. It's my granddad's side, so we're probably going to fire in a minute, aren't we? Yeah, you're a white rose, I'm a red rose. Yeah, it's all right. We've got the best hot pot. Yeah. But anyway. Have you ever heard of Yorkshire hot pot?

No, I've heard of Lancashire hot pot. I mean, fair enough, yeah, first. Oh, wow. My mom's hot pot's really good. It's a hot pot off. But yeah, it's a hot pot off. But I remember getting these tattoos on my fingers. One of them's broken.

So it's a black hearts, not black heart. No, the black heart. No, it is Doncaster Arts. Arts, Arts Club. Black Arts Club. And I remember getting these tattoos in my fingers. And like, one of them's broken and one of them's full. And I was just starting to get this community.

No matter how small it was. Like, it was tiny about this. But yeah, so this one represents, like, me when I was growing up and, like, completely isolated. feeling like an alien and I'm left-handed and I got the full heart on my second hand

on my left hand by writing I connected to him and I had a conversation with him so I got them post them online I wake up the next day 10 kids have got him

and then 20 kids have got him yeah 20 kids have got him and like now apparently there's like tens of thousands hundreds of thousands have you got other tattoos what an elephant on my ass shut up

so if he means again No, we do not, thank you very much. It's all right, man. I'll shut. I need to see it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't, I don't really, I don't wear underwear to me.

You don't, why don't you wear underwear? Isn't it going to hurt you, Willie, with those jeans? No, I don't know. I can't look. I'm like, oh, it's a little one. That's one's here. Christ. I don't know why you crack it up.

But I don't want the beckons to have a bad influence on you. You know their record with tattoos. You'll have it up to here, buddy. It's so funny. I kind of like. Dude, I'm such a little shit because I'm like, if people expect something of me, I won't do it? Do you know what I mean?

So it's like everyone always expects me to be covered in tats. I'm just not going to do it. No. But you're quite pretty, actually. I hate to say it. Thanks. But you are quite lovely and you've got gorgeous eyes. Me green eyes.

Have you seen those eyes? Yeah, you're very handsome. I feel like this is verging on site kind of, I feel like, we're like, go ahead. I'm right. I'm right. I'm in the man on the front row. I'm into it.

Should we have a sausage drop? Yeah. You've got sausage rolls? We've got, yes. They're sausage rolls with, and do you want some champagne? I love a bit of champagne, yeah, wow. Do you want another cup of tea? I love a champagne.

They were incredible. Here, take a plate, darling. Wow, man, what's on them? And I've got, oh, well, they're kind of. So they are, I had them in Lincoln shirt, so they're like, they've got cheese in them and mustard, and they're fucking delicious. I love that. It look fucking awesome. They're tough sausage rolls.

Thank you so much. What a, what a. And we've got cake. So... What an insane spread. So, okay, so what do you cook? When, do you cook? Do you know what?

I'm actually surprisingly good. I make a banging Sunday roast. Oh, do you? But I can do a Sunday dinner and it's the hardest thing to cook. Oh, well, come up on Sunday, we need some more. It's the hardest thing to make, it's like so much stuff to like stress out on. Because you have to juggle. If you're making a Sunday dinner, you've got to be able to, like, juggle.

Because it's like all about the last five minutes, making sure everything's all and everything's together and everything's together and everything like good because you know what I mean you don't want cold cold potatoes and we're like cold chicken like you gotta make sure

everything's like out at the same time gravy's good ready to rock and roll what's your secret if I'm cooking man like it's so on Elfiel I put like so much fat

and cream and like salt in it do I mean so it's just like because my mum always said that man do you know what I mean she would always just overdo it indulge and it was insane

you know what I mean everyone comes around like wow and then I'm like me rose potato are insane because I get like beef dripping and that

you know what I mean what's your keys of good raised potatoes so obviously you boil your potatoes until they're like

a little bit soft make sure the outsides are soft as if like Youngwood cooking channel no one knows this about me

world exclusive build until the soft drain the water smash the fuck out of them just bang

bang bang bang bang a little bit of flour I usually put like like garlic salt and you put flour on them garlic salt and onion salt on him

that is a good idea then I get a massive baking like a deep baking tray loads of beef dripping in it it's got to be like smoking like if you put your finger on it like you cook your finger do I mean like

you pour your potatoes in cover it in that put them in take it out base it a bit more turn them around keep putting them in but the more smashed

you can get them on the outside it makes it like go like crispy who did we talk to about who put semolina on them. Did Dawn French? Yes, Dawn French put semilino. Yeah, just like, and so it brings a little crunch. Wow.

Yeah. I'm into it. I'll try it next time. So, okay, so that's what you'd cook. Yeah. Youngblood roast. And where do you like to go out in London? Where's a good place?

Where's like a young bird special food place? Where do we go for food? Are you bothered about food? I love food. Okay. No, I do love food. I'm just trying to think now. I don't know if you ever stop to eat, though.

Brother, I don't stop to it. I always eat out. I literally always eat out. What did you eat last night? What day is it? What even day is it? It's Friday. What did I do last night?

Oh, I had a burger last night. It was good. No, I had burger and wings from wingmans. It was great. Where's wing mans? It's the thing on delivery you can get it. I promise, she's like Oriental wings. It's like, oh.

And I love Chinese food. I love a Chinese takeaway. Oh, can't be a Chinese takeaway. I haven't had a Chinese takeaway in so long. That's the thing about it is right. Chinese takeaway is just not good here in London. Like when you go at home, it's... Have you been to Chinatown?

Yeah, I've been to Chinatown. It's all right, but like not... So Doncaster does a better Chinese takeaway. I swear to God, yeah. So what are you ordering in Doncaster? The thing about it... Do you have Chinese curry in Doncaster? Do you know, we love Chinese curry.

Yeah. The thing about it is right. It's like it's your Chinese. You know what I mean? When you have your own Chinese, nothing beats it. They could be serving anything, but it's like just your Chinese. But I do like a little pastor joining. So, have you been to Lena stores?

Yes, I like Nina. It's so cute. But it was kind of funny. I went to like, I had a bit of a breakdown. So I went to Lake Como for a couple days. And then like you come, I went. How gorgeous is that? Oh, mad.

Rented an house. And it's so funny because all me, like I took my mates out. And everyone's like dressed in thing. I don't change. I mean like fucking leopard print and like spikes in Lake Como. Like we're driving on a boat and this guy's looking at me like, he would just crawl out of Satan's bum hole and got on my boat. You know?

But it's great. It's expensive. Then I came back and every Italian food I fucking ate. I was like, it's just shite. You're like eating Italian food and lunch you're like, oh God, this is so good. And you've got to let it come on. You come back here like, fuck me, you're impostors. We went to this restaurant on the last night.

And I was like, wow, this is great. Like, I didn't even come like, they did this like black garlic risotto. And I've never put anything that good in my mouth. Really? Never. Not even, don't even come close. And I have kissed many people.

Okay, so we ask everybody what their last supper would be. Darling, could we have a little more champagne? Sorry. I love it. I love it. Me and Dorman are kind of suffering here. Yeah, it's got to keep my lip. Tell me secrets.

So tight. So I want to know, last supper, what's it going to be? Starter, main pudding and drink of choice. Last supper, all right. For a starter, I love Spanish food. What? I have prone pill-pill. Have you ever had that?

Mad. Yeah, pill, pill. On a, like, but the shittest one you can get, like on a beach bar. like on like granny's in the kitchen and it looks like you're gonna get salmonella but you're not you know what I mean and you're just like... Nice bread to dip in

and there's a fire and I'm like, okay, cool, all right, sick, we're going to sit down and it's going to be great. So the waitress comes and it's like, again, welcome to Noma. And it's like some fucking, like I've gone to live with Ari Krishnas in Thailand or something. You know what I mean?

And I'm like, where's the menus? And Jess is laughing at me because she's just brought fucking Devo meets Liam Gallagher into a fucking Scandinavian seance. You know what I mean? And everyone's like, bringing in the light and blessed in the forest. And it's game season, right? It's game season.

And everyone's laughing at me. And Tom, my photographer, is quite a foodie and a bit pretentious. I love him. He's pretentious cunt. Then there's Ed, who works at my label. It was somehow out in Denmark. I don't know why. And then Jess next to me.

You wanted to go to Nome. I knew you were paying. So I'm saying. So it's like, we're in Nome and we're eating. And it's like, the first dish comes out. And I'm like, I'm like, just turning hysterical. Like, where's the fucking menus? Like, where's the menus?

I'm not, I'm, like, really, and I'm anxious because everyone's, like, there's a person in the corner of the room looking straightforward. Like, not even, like, vibing, just, like, holding a bottle of water and looking straightforward. I'm like, it literally looks like a prosthetic doll, like, standing there. It's a bit midsummer. It's like, when am I going to get my bollocks cut off?

You know what I mean? In front of me. And I'm sat there, and the food comes out, and the first thing comes out. an acorn on a plate, right? And it's like, I'm looking at this acorn. I'm like, all right, cool. Like, everyone's like weird.

It must be just like some hippie shit before they bring out like the menu. Your dinner? Me dinner, yeah. My big, nice steak. I mean, me big, nice dinner that I'm paying 700 quip for. And they do the acorn. I'm like, okay, right, I'll nibble on this acorn. And everyone's just laughing.

What's the acorn in anything? No, it's a fucking acorn. I don't know. Like, you know what I mean? It's an acorn. You could eat acorn. That's what I'm saying. Oh, you can eat.

And it's like glazed in fucking, like, molasses made from, like, Jesus Christ. You know what I mean? And, and, and, and, like, Jess is like, wanted to come to Noma, but she's regretting it already. Because you're... Because, no, no, she's not regretting it because of me, because now I find out that she is unadventurous with food.

So I'm like, okay, fine, all right. Fucking hell, you don't want to eat your acorn. That's a 70-quid acorn that you just, just turned away. Like, I've turned my... line away and I'm sat down it's like cool cool um it is there any menus coming out it's like

the chef has decided what you're eating tonight sir and I'm like as I say like I don't like how intimidating no it's very intimidating like I see I love that but I hate it I'm definitely with God yeah and I'm just like all right cool like is like is there gonna be any like

meat and shit like oh yes sir yes we we use every part of our animals and I get it because it's like good and it's good and sorry to sorry to when it's almost raw Yeah, sorry to any of the vegan fans out of that. I mean, but this was just Noma. And then they bring out duck's brain. No, they didn't.

In front of me, like, no, duck, like gland from the brain. And I'm like, and I'm like, like, looking at the waitress. Like, I'm like helpless. Like, I'm, like, imagine me walking through the desert for seven days without water and I see you. And I'm like, do you have any water? I'm like, do you have any fucking thing normal for me? Do you have anything possibly normal? And then the main event comes out.

And it's like, our good old friend, Donald Duck. But this time, it's the face of the duck. Like the face, right? Like, and I'm sat there and Donald Duck is looking at me in the face going, don't eat me, don't eat me, because my child is across. And you've been on the Disney Channel. Yeah, that's what I'm saying to you, right? So I'm looking at fucking Donald Duck right now.

And then I'm like, okay, why is there a duck? Like, I'm not going to eat a beak. It's not even cooked. And then one of the midsummer characters walked around the corner and lifts up the duck's head. Oh my God, this is like Indiana Temple of Doom. So I'm saying to the Temple of fucking Doom shit, right? And people pay 700 quid each for this, right? I would not do that.

That's what I'm saying. So it's like lifted off, lift it off. And it's like inside the head is Duck's heart, tar, tar. Right? And Jess is laughing now because she's not eating anything either. She's like not eating. I would actually vomit. That's what I'm saying.

Like, Tom, my pretentious photographer. Because he's fucking eating everyone's fucking food. And I'm like, I hope you're like, you're not getting a fucking birthday present this year. And it was small portions. That's four birthday present. Small portions, right? And then like, after that, we have a pallet cleanser

and it's peppermint ice cream. And I was like, fuck yeah, all right. I'm into this. Best peppermint ice cream with me life. And in theory, I paid two and a half grand for peppermint ice cream. And then went for a Chinese afterwards. I had cut someone call.

I was like, it's 11pm. I need you to find me a Chinese takeaway. And I'm pretty placid, but I was pissed. off. You know what I mean? I was like I hate pretension. It was, you know what? And it was fine. I'm sorry, Jesse. I'm so desperate to go.

This is the best entertainment. Do you know what? Not in a bad way. Not in a bad way, right? Like with it, yeah, great. If you're into that shit, but I'm from, like, I'm from Donnie, man. You know what I mean? I just wanted to pint a log and some states. But I go to a nice restaurant, do I mean, if you go to a Chilton Firehouse on a Friday night, I'm like, I'll have the cheapest log you got. Do I mean? I just just see who I am. And I love, I love. good food and I love it but

I just like good like I like I you know what I mean don't like all the bells and whistles I'm really worried about the cake I'm into the cake I'm into the cake okay so just so I explain to you Dom I don't have a kitchen at the moment so I have this really mini oven

that it can roast a chicken and it can bake a cake but the timings are a bit off so fuck knows if it's work but I mean it's sweet but yeah as I'm saying I don't mind and it's all right because if this cake's shy on the next podcast of someone else I do out I'll be telling the Noma story of you.

sobbing on stage. And then he wrote a note on Instagram saying that that reaction was due to him just having actually quite a tough time. I think he's a really remarkable bloke and I love him. And I think he's kind and talented and brilliant and is a rock star
