We haven't put out a podcast for ages because we've been focusing on our YouTube channel. However, we are going to start putting it out again. And this is the first one for a while. This is an interview with a giant of a man christian nairn who is starring as hodor

in hbo's upcoming series which is we are so excited by because you know we're huge fans of the books and if you haven't heard about it you should do because it's coming out very shortly and it's pretty big news it's going to be big it's going to be huge like the man himself so without further ado here is simon's and my interview with christian nairn hello and welcome And here we are on the Yoggpod And we've got a special little guest Except he's not so little He's a very big man Hello

He's Christian Nairn How's it going? Hello Christian And why are you on here? Why are we wasting our time interviewing you? Are you some sort of big shot actor In some huge TV series That's going out soon or something?

Well, I don't know about big shot, but yeah, I'm big. Yeah, I'm in HBO's forthcoming Game of Thrones, and I play Hodor. Hodor, who is... Are you a giant character? Yeah, I'm a giant with the mind of a child, I think is the tagline. A gentle giant. Not too much acting involved, I think is the tagline. A gentle giant. Not too much acting involved there. Oh dear, oh dear.

So you're playing a giant. How tall are you, Christian? If you don't mind me asking. I'm like a hair off seven foot. Okay, so you're not quite seven foot. That's disappointing. Oh, fuck. You're still quite big.

Yeah. Have you ever played basketball? No, I'm too cockeyed. Oh dear. No, fuck. They're still quite big. Yeah. Have you ever played basketball? No, I'm too cockeyed. Oh, dear. No, I don't really excel. I was forced into playing rugby at school. Oh, my God. You must have terrified the other children.

Oh, my God. Yeah, there was a few times where I was a tight-head prop, and I remember the opposite child crying. You were a tight head prop and um i remember the the opposite child crying you're a tight head of prop yeah that's gonna sound so funny to people you know nothing about rugby i mean i don't know anything about rugby and i find yeah how big are your feet have you got like do you have to get special shoes made no um yeah i've got a small a small elven workshop in the basement. It'd be funny if you had these dainty little feet, though. You're like a size 4.

Yeah, like a blowover. Blowover in the wind. No, I've got size 15 slash 16. Oh my good god. Yeah, so eBay's a good source. So I basically get all my shoes off eBay from America. 16. Oh my good god. Yeah, so I use eBay as a good source, so I basically get all my shoes off eBay from America, the land of

the big. Oh, that's very true. I wonder if I could get any jeans from there. Seeing how I've ripped a hole in the arse of one of mine. I was just looking over there at it. Yeah, I get my jeans from there as well. So yeah, if you want a website I'll hook you up. I was lying back on this sofa and I gave Hannah a terrible shock the other night.

In those jeans. Yeah, I've been known to do the same. I think larger gentleman's jeans tend to rip in a similar spot. I'm not wanting to break away from this enthralling discussion. What? Arsehole. Did you want to talk about the TV show or something Lewis I was quite happy to talk about

ripping jeans Christian on April 17th I believe HBO are bringing out their new television show an absolute fortune has been spent on it 10 episode

mini series of George RR Martin's fantasy work A Game of Thrones and you are in it you're a fan of us as well so that's partly why you're here because we have actually got permission

have we got permission. Have we got permission by HBO to do this interview? I don't know. Oh, God. Do they know about this? Are we going to get into trouble? No, it's fine. Go for it.

Okay. As long as you don't ask me to say Hodor. Okay, we're not going to do that. Are we not allowed to do that? Well, I imagine... That's a bit offensive. You've already asked him how tall he is, what his shoe size is, if he's got any holes in his trousers. Come on, Simon.

That's true. Well, it's important to get these things. People have to get, like, an idea of the man who's going to be playing this giant role. So what's the mental picture so far? Is it, like, seven foot tall with two canoes on my feet with my balls hanging out my trousers? Pretty much. It's likerian blessed in platform shoes that's kind of what i'm picturing oh my goodness terrifying image that's quite horrific yeah so i mean these books a lot of

people won't have even heard of these books but i am a huge huge fan having read them all and loved them and sim Simon as well. You can't have really not read the series if you're a fan of fantasy. And it's long overdue that they were made, really, because they are great, great books. Yeah, well, I think it was...

People always thought they would be made into films and stuff, but because of the amount of characters and the detailed plot, I think they really needed to be taken on as a series. I agree. There's so much complex stuff going on, isn't there?

Intrigue and clever twisting. I'm surprised that it's only ten episodes, to be honest. Well, I have to make quite a bold statement here. I haven't read the book. Oh my gosh. Get out.

Yeah, I actually sat on a panel with George R.R. Martin himself, and he asked me, so Christian, have you read the book? The thing is, why would he ask you? That put you in a really awkward position. It did, but I was honest.

I reckon Sean Bean's read them. He hasn't got time to read books. He's too busy making O2 adverts and stuff. Well, you never know. His character is huge, so it may be more beneficial for him to know a bit more about the character. Whereas I think Hodor is more of a sort of

point me in the right direction and push me. Sean Bean I'm an absolutely huge fan of because when I was a kid I was watching him doing Sharp and I've just always been a big fan. Have you got Sean Bean's phone number? Maybe we can interview him.

I wonder if he rips holes in his trousers as well roll eyes here trying to like move this in an intelligent direction you're trying to be serious

you're trying to take this as a serious interview well I'm really I'm a huge fan have you watched the teaser trailer, Christian, that's like the first

14 minutes or something that's come out on YouTube? Yeah, I was really impressed by it. Obviously, you know, I sort of saw the details going into it, and I know how much money has been spent, and literally, it's insane the

length they will go to get every single second, right? I knew it was going to be impressive, but I was really pleased with what I saw so far. Yeah, I was absolutely captivated by it. It's really reassured me a little bit, I guess, in terms of how it's

going to turn out, because I was a little bit worried that sometimes adaptations are a bit kind of funny, but it looks really, really good so far. So, I can't wait. Yeah, well, it's really the kids for me so far. The kids are amazing. Because Hodor spends most of the time

underneath Bran, the crippled child. He just rides around on him. Yeah, I'm sort of his mount. Yeah, that's exactly... Oh dear. You're a guardian, really, as well, aren't you?

Yeah. Well, without being a supporter, not really so much in the first book. But yeah, as the books go on, I become more of his guardian. So, when you were actually out filming it, where is it filmed? I heard some of it was filmed in Wales,

out in the hills. Is that bollocks? Maybe some for the, what do you call it, the pilot, which has all been refilmed. Maybe some of that was filmed in Wales, but the pilot's all been reshot.

It's all based around basically Northern Ireland, various places around here, and in Malta as well. In Malta? My gosh. Is that the desert-y parts of... Oh! On the other continent?

The Dothraki stuff? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'd forgotten about thatki stuff Yeah Wow I forgot about that I mean that doesn't really get going until Well it doesn't get going at all Does it? It's kind of just Some stuff happens out there but it's completely isolated From everything else

Until Future books Yeah well you can totally see how it wouldn't work as a film, you know what I mean? There's too many things that aren't tied off. You have all these strands. So yeah, they used down in the

docks here in Belfast, there's a huge warehouse which they used to paint the ships. That's where Titanic was built. It's sort of converted into a huge soundstage. I think it's the biggest in Europe, if not the world. So that's where all the interior scenes are filmed. I'm interested to see what the Eyrie place looks like.

The castle that's on top of the massive mountain. It's got the cell that they throw the dwarf fella in that just opens up into the sky. Of course, people listening to this don't really know too much about the story or things, so the things that Simon's referring to are suddenly a dwarf out of nowhere.

Of course... Well, yeah, obviously I focus on the dwarf, just naturally. Well, he's one of the most appealing characters, isn't he, in it, really? He's a much bigger role than Hoda. Why didn't you apply to take the position of the dwarf of Tyrion?

I would have involved some horrible mutilation. It's discrimination if they didn't at least watch you. No, I didn't, like, at least watch you. No, yeah, I didn't think I was right for the role. That's fair enough. No, Peter, he's being played by Peter Dinklage.

He's a great actor. He's a really cool guy. Really good actor. It was actually one of my first scenes with him. He's superb. He's perfect for Tyrion. Yeah, I love Tyrion. He's fantastic. I kind of think of him. Yeah, I love Tyrion. He's fantastic.

I kind of think of him as the main character of it. It's like so much of it surrounds him. He is involved a lot. I mean, because he travels around this fantasy world so much and there's always action surrounding him. Well, he's also kind of an underdog, isn't he? And people always love that as a character. Like an anti-hero.

Well, I mean, he's a member of this sort of prestigious Lannister family, but he's kind of a bit... Although he's like of noble blood, he's kind of a bit undertreated, isn't he, by other members of his family. Yeah, they're all kind of blonde and beautiful. An inbred. Spoiler.

You can't say that. What about the dogs because obviously they're involved in the first film aren't they or are they just pups in the first film well yeah

they are pups but they're still pretty big they're darrow wolves so I think they're supposed to be like the size of a cow by the time they

grow up oh my god I want one of those yeah so they're proper dogs they're stunning I'm not sure exactly What breed of dogs they use

But I would imagine there was Timberwolf I would say, maybe With a husky Sort of Alzation cross They're all slightly different But oh god, they were beautiful World of Warcraft, my hunter Honeybeard

Has a little pet wolf Called Wolfenstein. Yeah. Which he and recently she adores because he had a sex change. So that's why a female dwarf is called Honeybeard. Just filling him in there. I thought I'd tie it into gaming somehow, just vaguely. Yeah, thanks.

Oh, of course, because you're a big gamer and you're really into World of Warcraft as well, aren't you? Are you still playing? We've kind of had a bit of a break. You know, I'm a bit of a serial leveler. I get my characters to high level and then I get fed up and start another character and then that sort of thing. I'm not really sure

about Cataclysm yet. I'm not sure if I'm loving it. Oh, it's good. Well. I think some of the stuff that's done is amazing. Graphically, quest lines, what's it done with the characters yet, but I don't know. I think I'm looking forward to the next kind of

expansion right now. Are you not playing it really at all at the minute? Too busy. Doing other things. Talking to people like you. You're the first famous person we've ever spoken to Well I'm not famous Or ever Well not yet

Yes you are Yeah you're famous You're famous enough Well um Famous enough Yeah we generally don't do interviews do we We've been on other people's podcasts Not with real people Not with real people.

Not with real people. Who have we... What are you saying? Oh, that's true. Oh, God, of course! Yeah, I mean, of course we've interviewed famous people before Lewis. Before? You know, we've interviewed Warren Davis and the Queen, I think, one time.

Brian Blessed. All these people. What are we saying? Gary Coleman. Gary Coleman. Is this even actually the real Christian Nen, or is it just me doing a silly voice? I don't know.

Silly voice? It's a bit too realistic. Irish person with a cold. Yeah. Anyway, so what happened the other day? We were walking

back. It's the first sunny day here in Britain. We were walking back from Wetherspoons having just

had a pint of beer inside Wetherspoons because the beer garden was absolutely packed. And what

were we doing? I wanted fish and chips. You ordered fish and chips? I wanted to eat fish and chips. That's right. And? I wanted to eat fish and chips. That's right.

And it comes with a free cup of tea, right? Yeah. And so Simon said... Lovely sunny day. You know. Isn't it? Lovely sunny day. I don't want a cup of tea on a sunny day.

That's ridiculous. You know? I want like a beer or something. Because it's not tea weather. Yeah. And this is where it all led on didn't it so Simon did an impression of Sean Bean saying

the catchphrase of Game of Thrones tea weather tea weather is coming that was nice tea weather is coming instead of winter is coming it's such a good accent isn't it I love his accent pullover season is coming. Instead of winter is coming. It's such a good accent, isn't it?

I love his accent. Pullover season is coming. That's it right there. Is there any other lines from Game of Thrones we could get you to say? Me? Not Christian. Not the guy who was in it. No, you.

But me. Naturally. I could do Hodor, I guess. You don't know how he sounds though in the actual okay i know exactly how he sounds lewis right he's a he's a he's a giant of a man okay he um i actually think he might be a pokemon because he doesn't speak except to say his own name. So I think he might be a Pokemon. And I think he would sound a little bit like this. Hodor! Because, of course, for the last two weeks,

you've been playing Pokemon White. Is it on your DS? I've been playing White, yeah. I haven't been playing it too much. Hannah's been playing it more than I have. Didn't you come up with the idea? I asked you what kind of Pokemon you'd create if you had the chance. Oh, God, what did I say?

Oh, God, I remember now. Jaffabong, wasn't it? It was a bong, but with a Jaffa bong Wasn't it It was a bong But with a Jaffa cake As a head And it would sort of Had like Goggly eyes on it And you know

It's mouth would open Jaffa bong Jaffa bong That's what it would say It would speak like that God What's its special power I think it would have to be

Like a psychic pokemon Or something You'd have to have like Confuse or something. Does psychic ones have Confuse? Wouldn't it have like Jam Spray or something like that? Jam Spray? That's like eating a donut messily or something. Jam Roll, maybe?

Orange Slick. Yeah, that's a good one. What would it evolve into? Or would that be the final form of the evolution I don't know I don't know maybe it would start off as Jaffa Spliff and then it would be are we allowed to talk about drugs like this

we've got a lot of young listeners we don't want Christians to be associated with this grief I think I walked in on you we've got a lot of young listeners we don't want Christian to be associated with this we'll move on grief I think I walked in on you playing Pokemon the other day and you showed me you've renamed a couple of them

haven't you you're obsessed with Pokemon I thought I'd get this out of the way while the conversation was on the topic ok yeah I started off with the oh my god you've not read Game of Thrones on the topic. Okay. Yeah, I started off with the... Do you know I've never played Pokemon? Oh, my God! You've not read Game of Thrones?

You haven't played Pokemon? What the hell, man? What do you do with your time? I make shoes for myself. He acts in HBO series as well. He worked for Santa. It's quite a big... Oh, my God. See, I've got a pig.

Pigu. I called it because Pigu is Japanese for pig. Oh my god. See, I've got a pig. Pigu. I called it because Pigu is Japanese for pig. Yeah, spelt with two Gs. I think that's the original name. I noticed. Yeah, Pigu. Some people say that isn't the actual Japanese word for pig, but they're wrong.

They're just wrong. They're just wrong, yeah. Anyway, so... Is there anything that we want to ask, Christian? About Game of Thrones? I need to think. I'm excited.

I just want to watch it. I just want to watch the show. Yeah, me too, actually. Apart from episode four. Is that the one you're in? Oh, no. It's just a scene I don't particularly want to watch. Oh. Oh, God.

Involving a book. Don't tell us, but... Well, if you've read the book, it's nothing new. It's not going to be news for you. Okay. Go on, then. I'm excited. What is it? If you don't want to listen... No, we better not. We better not.

We better not spoil anything for anyone Why Lewis He was just about to say He was just about to say I was hanging on every word I wasn't desperate to know anything about this And he just fucking interrupted him Right as he was going to say

He could have just cut it out of the podcast He just should have let him speak Right alright go on then. Okay, we won't use this. We won't use it. What happens in episode four? What happens in episode four? Well, it's where I come out of a fucking bush in the deckhouse.

Oh my god, of course. In like the sacred forest bit. For the old gods. Yeah, in front of a child. Oh my god. Yeah, it was a fucking bizarre day. So, were any prosthetics used? I don't really know.

I can't really say. Is it all you? Mostly. Oh my goodness. Basically, when episode four airs, are you going to get every female friend on Facebook messaging you instantly what so it's going to work

okay okay let's move on let's move on from that good so anything else we have to talk about um it's very cold isn't it winter's coming obviously it's all very dark oh for god's sake dear winter's? Winter's coming obviously. It's all very dark. Oh for god's sake dear. Winter's coming.

Winter's coming. Aye. For England James. Oh I love that. Yeah. Oh god. It's difficult to say stuff because I don't want to put too many spoilers in. No. No you've got to be a bit careful. So yeah I've started playing Minecraft after watching your videos.

I'm absolutely terrible at it. What? Even after watching our videos? Our helpful how-to guides? You're saying they've not been any good? What? You're saying our videos are terrible? What?

Christian, how could you do this to me, man? Well, I literally have a similar setup to you two, which I've observed. I have a friend to play with, and he sort of learns about the game and does all this cool stuff, and I sort of fall off things, die, and blow things up. So you're like me, and your friend is like Lewis.

Pretty much. Right, I see. I can't be bothered. I just like to destroy everything. Oh dear, keep the TNT away. And sort of push him off the edge of high places. Well, it's hard to resist that, isn't it? You know?

Yeah, it's a great game, though. I think it's going to be massive. I'm looking for some trying-to-find-Sean-Bean quotes. For God's sake! So you can do, like... Winter's coming. For God's sake. So you can do like, Winter's coming. Soon be cardigan weather. It's a strange fate

that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing. What's that from? Can you guess? Christian. Oh, it's from Lord of the Rings. Of course it is.

Of course it is. He's Boromir. Is he Boromir? Have I redeemed myself, Emily? Is he a Pokemon as well? Boromir! Boromir! Boromir snatches the ring. It's super effective.

Oh, gosh. Here you go. I've pasted you some James Bond quotes from Alec Trevelyan. I can't remember how he says these things. These are good. Good luck with the floor, James. I've set the timers for six minutes. The same six minutes you gave me.

It's the least I could do for a friend. It's not really sounding... Does that still sound like... It sounds amazing. I don't know. Yeah. Half of everything is luck, James. James.

I'm starting to go a bit like... I'm starting to go a bit like Warwick Davis. Half of everything is luck, James. I'm starting to go a bit like Warwick Davis. Half of everything is locked down. It's starting to go... Warwick Davis stars as a James Bond villain. Of course you'd say that. James Bond, Her Majesty's loyal terrier, defender of the so-called faith.

Oh, amazing. Actually, do you know what? I've been fairly useless because on Facebook today, HBO have been running a competition for your favourite Ned Stark quote. I don't know why it hasn't occurred for me to have a look yet. Oh god,

really? Oh my god. Yeah, hold on a sec. See, that would have been perfect. Oh my god, let's find this. Oh, yeah, okay. 456 comments. Oh my god Let's find this Oh yeah okay 456 comments Oh my god Actually there's a pretty good quote As the tag

When the snows fall and the white winds blow Etc Okay let's give it a shot When the snows fall And the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. Oh, man. That is amazing.

Oh, that's epic. Goosebumps. The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. Oh, okay. This is a good one here. Do Bran. So Bran says that, and then Ned says this back. Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?

That's the only time a man can be brave. Aww, yeah, that's good. Aww. Bran sounds like Harry Potter. Daddy! Daddy! Can a man still be brave if he's afraid? Fuck off! That's JK Rowling telling him to...

Am I just doing... Has this just turned into Simon... Sean Bean? What's going on? I love it. I can't get enough of it I cannot get enough Of your Sean Bean voice Oh fuck's sake It just does something for me Okay that's all

And here we are We're joined By Sean Bean He's joined the Yogg Pod He's replaced Christian We've got someone more famous Someone who's sexier He was in a James Bond movie

And everything You were never in a James Bond movie and everything. You were never in a James Bond movie, were you, Christian? No. No. No. Useless. Winter is coming. And so am I. Oh, God.

No! No! Sean Bean, why? Sean Bean, why? That is revolting. So, um... Sean, thank you for joining us on the Yogpod. Do you want to tell us a little bit about

you know, how you... Have you read the book Game of Thrones? I'm so sorry, Christian. I've been usurped by an unreal guest. I've read it 14 times. That's 14 times more than

Christian has. Oh, and what did you think? Have you met George the Beardy Man yourself? Yeah, he were a nice... He was aasked. Winter is coming. You deflected that question well.

It's like Hodor. He just says the one thing. Thank you for joining us on the show, Sean. That was a real... It was very kind of you. It's no problem. It's great to be here. I'm Sean Exclamation, Mark Youngstall. Oh, gosh.

Winter is coming. Sean Bean, away! And then he skis off like a snowboard. He's off. he's gone Lewis Sean Bean has left us Oh dear

Oh So what else have we got Have we got anything else that we want to ask Christian Have we got the opportunity To talk to him Do we write anything down that we want to ask Christian? Have we got the opportunity to talk to him? Do we write anything down? Maybe we should find out if the Yognauts want us to ask anything. Do you plan to be in any other HBO series?

I'm making a quick post on Facebook. Have you got an agent now? An acting agent? Yeah, I do. I don't really know what's next. On IMDb I see that I've got a role in a Forthcoming film but to be honest

It's the first I've heard of it It's the rumour mill at work Yeah so I'm just looking forward to seeing what happens really I hear there's rumours that you're Going out with Cheryl Cole These days as well.

You were spotted coming out of the ivy with her. That was gin security for her. You came out of the ivy completely naked with your massive dicks hanging around. Your club. Oh, God.

Hodor! No, Hodor. Put it away. I think it's the kind of type she goes for. Oh, don't say that. You can't say that about Ashley Cole. Oh, my God. Whatever.

Oh, dear. He's actually a yugnaut, Ashley Cole. He listens to everything we do. Plays Minecraft. Okay. He's probably better at Minecraftnaut, Ashley Cole. He listens to everything we do. Plays Minecraft. Okay. He's probably better at Minecraft than he is at football. So have you found anything? Have you posted that we're interviewing Christian?

Oh, God. Yeah. We've had 20 comments so far, and none of them have been useful. Of course not. Have you got any pancake mix? Why is there pie on my house? What colour are your underpants? What's your favourite kind of soup?

He's not even making this up. Do you want to answer any of those? Will you slap my anus? Why is my hair on fire? That is not a good one. This is terrible, isn't it? This is just so bad.

Do you have the balls? I'd like to think so. You're going to eventually see. We're going to see everything. Seen everything. We're going to see. So, I mean, you live in Northern Ireland, right? Yeah, Belfast. What's it live in Northern Ireland right? Yeah Belfast

What's it like in Northern Ireland? Smallest of the British protectorates I really like it here Lewis I know I just know that Lewis has opened

Wikipedia and he's got the page for Northern Ireland open Are you planning on spending some time over here know that Lewis has opened Wikipedia and he's got the page for Northern Ireland open? Are you planning on spending some time over here? Because there's some really nice tourist attractions. Are there? No. Oh. Oh. No, it's a dump.

No, it's a pretty cool place. We've got the Jans Causeway. Of course, to you, it's a pretty cool place. We've got the Giants causeway. Of course, to you, it's just a causeway. It is. Yeah. Serious question. What is it like working on the show, comma, CGI, comma, scripts, comma, co-actors?

Okay. Well, I haven't had too many scenes with CGI. Most of my props have been real so far. The actors are great. It's a huge cast. Not everyone's met each other, and people are flown in at different times, but everyone's really friendly.

What was the other thing separated by a comma? Scripts. Hang on. Hoda's script. It just says Hoda on it. I see it. That's true. Walk out of bush naked,

say Hoda. Look confused. You've tried so many different variations on confused oh dear oh my gosh what were you going to say so no

seriously I mean I'm interested in like how the whole thing works and like how do you

go out to a day like what time do you start do you get lunch and breakfast do you sit

on like a little is there a bus serves lunches and stuff and do you get to talk to the actors is like a little is there a bus, serves lunches and stuff, and you get to talk to the actors. Is there a bus? Is there a bus? Yeah, they have like these open buses, like

kebab vans, don't they? Yeah. Oh, well, the typical day is you get a call five o'clock in the morning. It's bloody horrific. Cast members get picked up in separate cars or sort of Range Rovers. Pretty nice cars. You're taken to the location.

You get a trailer straight into make-up. Someone will bring you a bacon sandwich. Oh. And you're basically... Yeah, that part is amazing. Oh, gosh. What time does the bacon sandwich arrive? Is that like...

No, you can basically have a sandwich whenever you Is that, like, it's the summer. No, you can basically have a sandwich whenever you want. That's probably one of the best things about it. I'm thinking of getting into this acting business, Lewis. What else do we... I think my brain's died a bit now. Yeah, let's do a little ending bit as well. Thank you, Christian Nairn, for joining us on the YoggPod. No problem. Thank you. Yes, thank you very much. It's been a little ending bit as well. Thank you, Christian, then, for joining us on the YoggPod. No problem.
