Starting point is 00:00:00 Yo Yeah What do you want Beak or jaws Feathers or fur Sharp teeth or feet with claws Whatever's prefer Just kidding
Starting point is 00:00:11 Every word in his song About two grown men Dressed up as a bird And a dog Welcome to the wolf And email Special We do listening questions
Starting point is 00:00:22 And queries And we try to help out If we can Yo Yo Romer Ranganathan got the answers. Tom Davis and Rameshranganathan got the answers. Could you stop at the Wolframanal station?
Starting point is 00:00:38 We'll try our best to give you information. And integration to the wolf are now for you. So do your shoe laces up and pull your trousers up. Okay, great. That was, you want to remind me a little bit of when those guys did Mysterious Girl on X Factor. Oh my God. Can I say... Move your body.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Come on, jig your buddy. Can I say for the next football talk? I wasn't going to talk about this. I've tried to. No more of these, they're cheap, shitty football songs. Okay. Let's get this out in the open. We got Bealingham.
Starting point is 00:01:14 It's coming back. I'm tailing it. Why do you hate it? I loathe it. Why? Because I just find it's so fucking egg. Isn't, aren't football songs supposed to be egg? No.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Football's coming home. Three lions. Like, world emotion. I have something to it. Like, the dance, I look, I get it. You know what? It's, it's, I just found it really irritating. Do you know why?
Starting point is 00:01:37 I'm going to tell you. The personally ruined. It's calming. Home, we're telling him. That's the bit that I found the worst. The bit, the shoulder. The thing I found so. Oh, yeah, that's bad.
Starting point is 00:01:45 The kick. Oh, the heck. Yeah, yeah. There's a guy who was in maths. And he has done it before every game. And it got to the point. where I was like, and we've not talked about the World Cup on here, and it's not because it's not a football podcast and so.
Starting point is 00:02:01 But he was doing it before every match, and he got to the point, I was like, I just hope we go out now. I can't have him doing this again. And for some reason, it's, I was horror watching. I can't remember his name. I think this is an interesting side of your character, because people sort of think you're very happy, go lucky, and you are. But occasionally things really wind you up.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Anonymous objects wind up. Okay, that's a harsh way to describe this guy, but... What we got Bellingham. It's coming home, we're telling him. We're Englishmen in New York. We talked about this guy last time. Oh, we've got Harry Kane, and he's going to score again. We're Englishmen in New York.
Starting point is 00:02:42 I can't, I don't follow him. He's one of these people. What irks me is it's like, it doesn't feel like, it feels like it's like a real drama school performance. It's all sort of, whew, like, you know, I'm like, fucking settle down. there is something that's been quite one of the positives I think about the World Cup has had a sort of unifying effect doesn't that? Do you not think?
Starting point is 00:03:06 In what sense? Like we are probably more divided than we have been for a long time as a nation and that felt like whenever you have something like that I felt like the same about the London 2012 Olympics is like there's it injects a little bit of you know I who are
Starting point is 00:03:23 I feel sorry for people that want to be nationally proud but feel like that has been compromised by discrimination and whatever you want to call it, you know, politics or whatever. And so when you have the World Cup, actually, so somebody like you
Starting point is 00:03:41 who I would describe as a fiercely proud Englishman, right? Yeah. You might be, but you're also very sensitive and open-minded and, you know, I think you don't like the other things that can be attached to that. Yeah, of course. So then I could imagine you going,
Starting point is 00:04:03 I feel a bit uncomfortable about how patriotic I can appear because it has certain connotations. But also there is what is England and England is a diverse country. Yeah. That's the thing you're proud of. And especially when you watch that team go out and play. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:14 It's a diversity. But going... But my... I have more, like, the thing I have with it is that, you know, I think the negative connotation, which are, you know, and you're right, I think it bonds everyone and people like, you know, what's lovely is, you know, one of the games you're sitting there and you've got my mum and dad, Grace is watching, my wife, my family, yeah, and you're all watching together and then you're going
Starting point is 00:04:38 out and you're chatting to people who've all sat up and watched it and it's a really nice feel like you feel it's coming together. You're also aware, though, in a very cynical way of how that long as that's even going to last. You know, you're aware that the thing that really painstaking, it was a woman in my office who was going to watch the semi-final at a place, and I was like, and she's American. And I said, listen, you know, you need to make sure, just be careful, because all of this evaporates very quickly when we lose, and it always will.
Starting point is 00:05:10 And that's the thing, having seen it and been around it, when England lose, it's not a nice thing. And that's the thing that actually, the coming together, unity and all that, which is really, really enjoyable, is forgotten very quickly. And then you're like, how do we bottle this and how do we try and move forward with this?
Starting point is 00:05:25 a thing and you think there and you watch someone like you know Jude Bellin and you know you feel massive pride in watching something like Jude Bellingham and what it means for Jude Bellingham to go out and and what he then represents for the country and then you hope that that's not just going to be something that is a six-week window every four to two to four years and I think the thing that the thing that really for me that is most apparent is how yeah how you how you turn around and go okay look this this is how things should be they should be it's nice it's like it is nice when you're in England and everyone's behind the team and everyone's
Starting point is 00:05:59 into the team and it feels like there's something that's bonding everyone and let's not be naive like there's that still the people who are trying to you know pull that apart and twist that and whatever that's all's going to happen but for the majority of people that's a nice thing it all just makes me sad when that that's over and it's not just over like a week later it's very spontaneous but that's why I think it's really important I think people need to remember is that like what you can all get behind is
Starting point is 00:06:29 oh we got bell in them it's coming home we're telling them the guy singing it right big fun great for him but I'm like you know and look well done you've come up with a cheeky little song
Starting point is 00:06:42 but these raps and Jack Skipper and Jake I won't remember Jake's that they made a piss take one which is genius yeah but they're these sort of like they're all There's one guy that I'm watching doing it, and I'm like, I can't rap.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I never will be able to rap. But he's literally just, I'd love to try and find him to show you. I'm like, none of these rhymes. And it's not like, go back and watch someone who could actually, you know, to a beat, put together some work. Fleur East has done amazing ones. I saw that, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I've shared it quite a lot. Fleur East, shout out, one of the best things about this World Cup was Fleur East.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You said it's between Fleur East. Winston Messi for you, isn't it? Right, should we look at some emails? Sorry, that was...
Starting point is 00:07:31 Like and subscribe, please. Okay, like and subscribe and write in. Dear Wolframal, our Wolfelpod at gmo.com. And this could be you. I'm about to read out. Could be you. Dear Wolf and Al, I've never been the most... The fittest or most handsome guy.
Starting point is 00:07:47 I've never been the most confident either. Every year we've booked the obligatory family holiday to Mioka or Costa del Sol. And every year I beat myself up that I haven't spent the interim working out or buying the most star. of clothes in preparation for my half-naked day spent by the pool. After hearing your podcast, I realise all men of a certain age feel the same way,
Starting point is 00:08:02 and yes, there will be the odd Uber Dad with muscles rippling. But most of us are just normal people trying to make the most of our hard-earned time crisping up in the sun. This is just a small, genuine, heartfelt thank you. Thank you for providing me with the entertainment through my headphones pool side. Thank you for let me know that it's okay to be me. God bless you both, and every success you have in life is a small win for normal people like me who have normal issues and hang-ups.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Your faithfully the slightly red Irish wolf hound That's lovely in it Yeah I mean it's slightly awkward there I was just slapping my leg and you thought I'd start in a round of applause Tom would you like to tackle this Tom would you like to tackle this? Tom would sent me a picture recently actually of me on a lad's holiday
Starting point is 00:08:40 And in all the pictures All my mates are sort of topless And I'm in a t-shirt by the pole I think I'm trying to think When I start I think if I'm going to be quite honest I think when I carried a bit of weight I was just like, oh fuck it, no one really cares.
Starting point is 00:08:58 I'm an overweight guy and I'd probably just thought if I've got a couple of beers in my hand I'll fall into a stereotype. I think really with Catherine and stuff, I think I've cared less. Not like cared less, I just don't, I think as well, you realise that no one's actually, for the most part,
Starting point is 00:09:14 no one's looking around at the pool for someone to be horrible about. And if they are, they're the c-de-a-meen. And I think that's the hard truth. So I think from the most people, gentleman saying I think you're like yeah
Starting point is 00:09:26 everyone just you don't want to be sort of staring or I think everyone hopefully for the most and yeah you'll get that
Starting point is 00:09:33 you know the guy that last year that I was on holiday with he would probably got stared up more than anyone he was an incredible body
Starting point is 00:09:39 beautiful tattoos every day all these really lovely black trunks fucking good looking guy you know cause eruptions
Starting point is 00:09:47 around the pool let me tell you and he could dive yeah it sounds like you might have been watched him
Starting point is 00:09:52 quite a lot behind some mirrored sunglasses. No, but also you don't want to pass on your anxieties and phobias onto your kids. No, I mean that's a big thing, but I think that actually, and I think we've said this before, but the truth is,
Starting point is 00:10:12 and this is something you'd love to really get it around, nobody gives to fuck what you look like on holiday. Nobody gives a shit. Everybody is worrying about their holiday, right? And understandably so. So the idea that anybody, is paying you any mind at all for what you look like or whatever.
Starting point is 00:10:28 They don't give a crap. And actually, it's weird. It's a form of narcissism. It's a reverse form of narcissism to be really focused on how you look and stuff. People do not care. We had someone in our group of friends who's not someone I'm associated now
Starting point is 00:10:45 for a number of reasons, but that person was someone we'd be around who would be quite evil and quite mean about people. You'd be away or, you know, if you're out of, for dinner or whatever. They'd find people to be horrible about it.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Not people watching. We all do that. Everyone, you know, we'd be like, yeah. This person, yeah. And I think that always set me about being like, oh shit, is that what? Put it in your head. Yeah, put it in my head,
Starting point is 00:11:07 but also that I made a sort of think, oh, people are like that. And then since that and since sort of seeing what that person's really about and getting a close insight into them, I kind of was, you know what? The thing is, for the most part, it's probably one of the most unhappy human beings I've ever known.
Starting point is 00:11:25 and the way that they seek happiness is being quite mean and being quite horrible. And then actually you go, well, I'd sooner be the person you're laughing at who's just happily sitting by the pool or jumping in the pool and not really thinking about it rather than someone sitting by the pool
Starting point is 00:11:40 and just being nasty and vicious. And actually, that viciousness and that nasty, that's just a sort of way of looking across other people being happy and having a good time and just there's almost an air of jealousy. So I think that was a life lesson for me. Yeah, I mean, I think that it's slightly unfortunate that when I said nobody gives a shit, hey, you look like you've immediately given me a story contradicting that completely.
Starting point is 00:12:03 So it slightly undermines my advice. I'd love it if you'd give me a bit of distance before completely collapsing what I said. I can't know I was speaking. No, no, no, you've got to speak the truth. You've got to speak your truth. Yeah, I speak my truth all the time. But, yeah, I would say, yeah, I think that you do get people like that. But, you know, but the thing is just like, I think blokes get.
Starting point is 00:12:25 get caught up in this thing of like, and I know women do as well, but I'm talking about from a man's point of view here, blokes get caught up in this thing of like, you've got to look absolutely ripped when you go on holiday. But like, the thing is,
Starting point is 00:12:38 I'm thinking to myself, well, why? If you're happy how you are, right, what is, what is the, what is the tangible benefit
Starting point is 00:12:47 of looking ripped on holiday? Is your, like, why are you doing that? Because you want people, to what admire your body or whatever I just think like that logic it is psychologically I don't don't think it's a healthy thing to aim for you know I mean it's it's like I sort of think the only person I the only person who's opinion I care about that really is mine and leases right
Starting point is 00:13:15 and if we are both okay with how I look yeah then I don't think it who gives a shit do you mean like and and by the way I'm saying that like it's really easy but but but The addition to your happiness by caring less what people think about you, looks-wise, behaviour-wise, all of that, the addition to your happiness and contentment is so huge. But you think about like the number of times you've not worn something that's a bit out there because you're worried about being embarrassed about it or the number of times you've not enjoyed yourself at a water park
Starting point is 00:13:48 because you're worried about how your body looks. All these things where experiences have been damaged and ruined because of your perceived understanding of how people are looking at you, how people are judging you. Yeah, who gives the fuck? And like, I just think there is no net gain from doing that. I just think it's frustrating to me because I feel guilty of, I'm guilty of it.
Starting point is 00:14:15 But you could add so much to your happiness and contentment in life by liberating yourself. And it's as easy as, going, you could wake up tomorrow morning and go, I've decided I don't give a fuck what anybody thinks about me, right? And if you manage to do that, you'd be,
Starting point is 00:14:34 I'm telling you, like, I just believe you'd be so much happy in everything you do. Do you know what I mean? It's like... 100%. And I think about... By the way, this is very Bartlett, like, Steve, you're on Stephen Bartlett, and I'm in. Well, I mean, I just, I just think it's like, I sort of think about, say, for example, like, you are somebody I look up to
Starting point is 00:14:52 fashion-wise, right? I can really like what you wear and stuff like that. And there are times when you wear something that's like unusual or out there, right? That is something that there is a pressure
Starting point is 00:15:05 to not do that. Do you mean? Like sometimes you might wear something that you think, you buy something you think is really cool and then you're about to get, I've had that thing
Starting point is 00:15:14 where you buy something as a bit out there. Have you ever had this where you're about to leave and you look in the mirror and you go, I don't know if I can pull this off. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:15:20 I had it with the socks, did they? These socks? See, these socks are fantastic. But then I, But then I'm also there's a apartment. We had a comment recently on one of our videos that we put out,
Starting point is 00:15:30 one of them, and someone put, why the fuck would anyone listen to advice for a guy who's wearing a denim beanie? Outside of, why, yeah, you know, when you just like... Do you know when I do, when I go and do the Saturday show on Radio 2? If I get a comment on a, like when they post a social video of like, if I get a comment from somebody going, why is he wearing that? I consider that a victory. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Because I just sort of think like, as soon as you're wearing something remotely kind of nice, somebody are going, looks like it's wearing his curtains. But then without being, it's like, I was walking here, I was walking for a common garden and thought these builder lads walk past me. Bearing of mind I worked in that world for a long time. And they walk past, and all three of them were dressed exactly the same clothes, right? Not a uniform, just the same, okay, we're safe in this look. And they walked past.
Starting point is 00:16:21 And they looked me up and down, and then went, print trainers, and them socks and they sort of gufford amongst themselves. I was like, yeah, you're just all completely, you're confined by a look that what, you know, you've got, oh, we feel safe in this. Yeah, yeah. It's sort of some air of bravery and sort of, yeah. By the way, you know, you're talking,
Starting point is 00:16:39 when you talk about someone who's ripped, all I can think of is Ned Flanders. Yeah. Ned Flanders is the most beige. But when Neflanders takes his top off, you're like, he's hiding that all the year round on holiday, but then Neflanders, you go, fucking, oh, look at his body.
Starting point is 00:16:53 go over and have a chat and go, hey, by the way, it's worth that, dickhead. Yeah. I'd rather be home. So anyway, in answer your email, I'm glad that we've helped out in some way, but I would push it even further than that and, like, stop giving a shiny shit.
Starting point is 00:17:08 I wish I could take that advice. Yeah, yeah. Unfortunately, I'll end this podcast and immediately become neurotic about what I'm wearing today. But anyway. You look nice today. Thanks, man, thanks, thanks so much.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Actually, your socks are cool, as well. Thank you. Actually, Cassie's dead socks. Are they? Yeah. Now for the dog stars. It's no surprise how fast civilization can disappear. Go!
Starting point is 00:17:32 A therapist. Kill or be killed. Jacob Allorty. There are people out there? They need her help. Josh Bruland. Shoot first. Did inquire afterwards.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Margaret Qualley. Okay, tough guy. And Guy Pearce. Arm up! The Dog Stars, directed by Ridley Scott. In theaters, August 28th. Get tickets now. Hi, Wolf and Ow, Swan and Cat.
Starting point is 00:17:56 These two months have been. leading up to my first set of final solicitor exams that I now don't feel totally ready for. But in any case, I've achieved devouring at least 70% of your episodes and counting. It's always time well spent laughing like a mad woman while I listen to you to. What's the furthest you've gone to procrastinate or distract yourself from something important? Thanks for all the giggles. There's distracted parakeet. I'm a terrible at times.
Starting point is 00:18:28 I can be an awful procrastinator. I would tell you now, I've had 12 deadlines for the book and the procrastination I have done. And by the way, the editor of my book is one of the loveliest men and is an absolute fucking diamond and he listens to this podcast.
Starting point is 00:18:46 But I would tell you, like I've never felt less, it's important, I want to write it, I really want to do a good job. I don't know, it's the only thing I've ever done in my life where I write anything I write. When you say deadlines, deadlines for the finished product.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Yeah. You've missed 12 of those? Yeah. Or like 12 beats of like... 12 stages of that process. I miss it in all the time. Fine. Because every time I write something, I'll go back to it and delete it.
Starting point is 00:19:11 I literally, if I was to show you the document, it's an empty one. Because there's nothing of it. I literally sit, write, go, oh, that's good. And go back and read it and go, who would fucking read this? Who the fuck would read this? Right. And that's been now two years? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:25 And I will Most things I'm pretty good If I'm writing a script I have a way of sitting down And I'll you know I'm tracked here If I'm doing stand up stuff If I'm going through performance
Starting point is 00:19:38 With that I will precar I cut a tree down the other day I literally There's a tree in my garden And Catherine was like What do you think of that tree in the garden And I was like
Starting point is 00:19:48 Yeah I mean I've never really thought about it I'm just trying to do this stuff On the book And she was like okay And then I went Actually, you know what, I'll do something about it. And then I googled and spent, like, the morning or sort of, sort of, the couple of hours looking at how I best take this tree down,
Starting point is 00:20:03 because the tree was dead. And then, then spent the rest of the day cutting it down, ordering a skip. Then the next day filled the skip with the tree. And then loads of other shit in the garden. I spent two or three days just doing gardening. And I went back to my laptop and thought, I don't know what I'm doing. I have no idea, like, what the fuck this is.
Starting point is 00:20:24 it's yeah so that my procrastination of the book is by far like like if i could now just get someone to come up to me and go okay this is what you've got to do i'll go okay cool but i have no no idea what i'm doing and every time i do something and i don't mean that i'm not saying this but i literally will sit there and go oh this oh i found the thing i'm worse at My attitude towards procrastination has changed a little bit. Like, I am, so I'm writing a stand-up tour at the moment. Next year, all dates, nearly sold out? Pretty much, almost, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:09 I've still got a lot of dates on sale, a lot of tickets to be sold. Can I, is it possible for me to talk about my tour without you re-plugging yours? Yeah, but you're, can I just say, do you know, I know you've been at stand-up and you're fucking a big dog. I'm not a big dog. You are, but, like, you know how sold this wrong it is? My stand-ups the second half of this year I'm still hustling to sell tickets
Starting point is 00:21:27 Yours is fucking next year And all I see is sold out dates I'm like oh this guy There's a level difference I'm like There's not a level difference You know like people go Oh you're going to do any promo
Starting point is 00:21:37 For your stand-off I'm this fucking guy doesn't need it You have you? I do I do Second night of the O2 Needs selling We've got 350 tickets
Starting point is 00:21:46 That need selling And whole Yeah A hole Yeah Fucking hull if you're wondering which of mine need sell and go on the website all of them
Starting point is 00:21:57 anyway when I used to write a stand-up I used to build in to my days that I would get distracted right and then I started getting frustrated with the fact that I was getting distracted I was like this is eating too much time and then I got annoyed in my brain for allowing myself to
Starting point is 00:22:17 you know for getting being like scatty or ADHD or what you want to call it And then I realized, or one of the things that I've started trying to do now is actually the key is, or the key for me, is to set up a set of rules where you cannot be distracted. And what I mean by that is I'm talking about extreme things, like giving my phone to Lisa and saying, do not give this back to me for three hours, right? Yeah. And like, and setting up a workspace and going, I don't want to be, do not, nobody come and talk to me for the, you know, whatever. and then you just sit and a lot of the time your brain is just going
Starting point is 00:22:55 you can get distracted but there is not but what you've got to what I found is remove everything to get distracted by so that actually the most interesting thing to do is right stand up do you know what I mean and I found that really works for me and it's actually quite
Starting point is 00:23:13 it is good it has been better and then the other thing I found is compartmentalising how much work you're going to do versus when your day is over. And what I mean by that is, I used to be like, if I'm writing stand-up today, 10 in the morning until 6 in the evening,
Starting point is 00:23:30 I'm writing stand-up, right? The truth is that is unrealistic. Yeah, yeah, because your brain will just turn to mush. So now, if I do, for me personally, it might be different for other people. If I do four and a half hours of writing stand-up in a day, that's a great day. But you'll do like an hour of a break, an hour or like that.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Yeah, I'll do a lot. I might do like an hour, but if I get carried away or if I'm in, you know, I might do a bit longer. But I'll do an hour and then I'll just sort of take a break or go and get a drink or something like that, then come back and do it. And sometimes you can feel it. The ideas aren't, the stuff that you're thinking about isn't as good. I can feel when my brain's starting to, it's starting to fray around the edges. And I used to be like, no, but you've got to sit at this desk till whatever time because otherwise you haven't made it. now it's like if I've done five, if I've done five hours of writing stand-up,
Starting point is 00:24:22 not all in one chunk, if I've done five hours across the day, and I'm talking about like maybe I do two hours in the morning, dick around for a bit, hour, dick around for a bit, two hours. If I do five hours, that is a fucking great day for me. And then that means that I can then dick around and do whatever that. I've earned the right to put, to just shit around for the rest of the day. You know, I can do whatever the hell I want because that to me is a productive day. people it might be different but that's how I'm
Starting point is 00:24:49 with scripts I can I'll sit there I'll do yeah I'll make sure like if I'm writing a script seven out six six it like I'll go nine o'clock start like you I and stand up very similar like the phone goes off I don't have any like literally this is what but the book is like
Starting point is 00:25:08 because I can sit and write a script and go I know what I'm doing it and at the end of the day I'll go I'll look for the scripts and go that's not very good but that's really good or that could work I could do this or I could put that there and stand up or go okay
Starting point is 00:25:21 yeah well that I wouldn't say that you know the book I've never like I mean this two years
Starting point is 00:25:27 I've never once sat there and gone oh wow yeah there it is I literally will just delete everything because I had that thing when I wrote my first book
Starting point is 00:25:37 I like I would write a chapter and then I come back to it later and I'd delete the whole chapter so I reckon I reckon when I wrote my first book I'd probably write two books worth of stuff
Starting point is 00:25:46 You know, like, well, I was just like, but then I know he's a bit of a controversial figure, but that Rick Rubin, that creative act book, one of the things it says in that, and actually one of the things it says in that about writing anything is as soon as you, you have to, I mean, this is so wanky now, but anyway, but this is, I've done a bit of reading, you have to delay your inner critic as long as you possibly can. Yeah. So basically, the aim, and this is really difficult, is to write or create as much as you possibly can
Starting point is 00:26:19 before you apply any kind of is this good enough thought to it or who's going to read. You've got to kill that guy for a little bit or put that guy to sleep, right? And then you just get that shit out there. This is what I've, you know, I don't, everything I'm saying here,
Starting point is 00:26:36 I can't, I don't. I'm just, I'm not saying I've nailed it. But that person, you've got to put to one side as much as you can. and then once you've got it all out there then you go right what's good here
Starting point is 00:26:52 do you know what I mean and that is that is one of the things especially as we've got like you know when you have low self-esteem creatively and your tastes and your abilities
Starting point is 00:27:02 feel like there's a mismatch we know what we like but we don't know if we can create what we like the problem is is that as soon as you create something then you go this is a piece of shit and nobody can ever see this
Starting point is 00:27:13 and that is That is the bit you have to kind of put to sleep for a little bit, I think. Yeah. Or, you know, I think the easiest thing is to get a ghostwriter. I can't if I could do that. Maybe. And I think if you do, don't tell me or anybody on this podcast. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Should we go to the next question? Sweet Rommi, you're up. Hello, fellas. I've recently been on a bit of a Muppets kick watching the recent movies from my childhood and in the new show. Being 21, it's probably not the most common interest, but it's probably because my late mother was a fan and showed me the old shows.
Starting point is 00:27:46 when I was growing up. My mother's tidiness aside, I was wondering, what classic tale or movie you love, would you like to see reimagined through the lens of the Muppets? This is a very specific question, is it? Crucially, which one character would be human?
Starting point is 00:27:57 Or if had one of your own projects, Muppetified, which Muppet would play your character? My dead mum would love to hear your answers. I'd like to see the Godfather, actually, would be quite cool, as Muppets. Really good shout.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Do you know what I think would be great? Go on. Pulp Fiction. Oh, that would be sick. There'd be two sick films. Who would you go? Godfather Kermit would have to be Michael Collione
Starting point is 00:28:19 Yeah Gonzo as Godfather Vito Collione Yeah But who do you keep as a human Oh wow Probably dying Keaton But obviously not dying Keaton
Starting point is 00:28:32 Now it would have to be someone else Steps into that role Yeah Charlie's Theron Oh no Jennifer Lawrence would be good Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:28:39 Okay Yeah Go on Who would be the human role in yours Pulp Fiction I mean Miss Piggy's got people devastated if she's not playing Emma Thurman's character
Starting point is 00:28:49 Yeah Bruce Willis's character I guess What's his name? Oh yeah That's okay yeah Bruce Willis will be called Zed's dead baby Who
Starting point is 00:28:58 The cookie monster is The Ging Rames Oh Ving Rames Yeah Yeah Yeah that would be The show for me Out of my work
Starting point is 00:29:07 It's very easy Murder and successful For Muppets would be Fucking sick Yeah And then whoever is the guest Would be Yeah
Starting point is 00:29:13 The human For mine it would probably be from my show's weakest link probably. The Muppets' weakest link would be amazing when you get what one episode? Yeah, one episode I'd be the human character in it Yeah
Starting point is 00:29:26 We've got eight of the Muppets You should do that as a Muppet's for sure Get old Jim Henson? Oh yeah, the Muppets are banging down our door to come on the weakest link That would be sick, that Yeah, I'd love that I'd love to make that inquiry
Starting point is 00:29:41 You should get something No, don't do it yourself Because you'll look thirsty and a bit beggie get someone from production to do it. That would be fucking amazing. Yeah, it would be. It won't happen. This is the thing about it. Never say never. Like you could literally, if that's your dream, make it happen.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Okay. It's not my dream. We literally, we're just triggered by this email. That would be great. The Muppets murder and successful, I'd love. Yeah, that'd be good. Muppets and successful. Yeah, yeah. I think, again, Gonzo would be a great sleep. You'd be the human character. No, no, no, no, no. No, you'd have the human be the guest. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Then finally, I'd get into an episode. I'd love to. If we could bring it back, I'd love to get you in.
