I um I lived in Nashville for a couple. of years and I got the I got the the the. drool I think yeah being there yeah I. owned a cowboy hat oh wow I had a. camouflage hoodie as well.

see yeah you really did you guys hunt. anything do you know I so I lived on a. lake for the first year and I bought a. fishing rod from Walmart cuz I was like. I'm going to go fishing I've never been. fishing before and I sat I threw it in. and then after about an hour my mate. came up and was like have you put bait. on it and I was like I didn't know you. me to do that so I just sat with a. fishing really in the lake yeah on M. fishing I just assumed a fish would like. swim past and catch the hook I don't. know I'd never fished before you know it. wasn't it wasn't something that I grown.

up doing you got to have that you got to. put something on there I know that now I. know that now wow I've never heard of. anybody doing that maybe a child or. something or a blind fella well I I feel. like in some ways I am quite I feel like. you your age freezes the age that you. become famous I think so I think in some. ways I am still a teenager yeah yeah oh. that's interesting yeah I think it's. like um and I think some creative people. just grow they kind of grow up slow I.

feel like in a way well you sort of. don't have the same uh. um I don't know brutal uh life lessons I. guess when I was like I moved to London. when I was like 17 and you I was having. regular brutal life lessons of just like. no this is what the real world is and. then I think one you I you know started. doing well about 20 um about 1920 and. then uh you you sort of like if you make. a mistake it's it's kind of all right.

you know you know you don't have like. the brutal real life lesson I guess what. do you me like when you're doing when. life is when you have like a success and. stuff going on is that what you mean. kind of a well yeah I I mean you will. know this with with uh comedy like a. brutal life lesson of like it's not. going to be easy is bombing or playing. to an empty room or blah blah blah that. kind of stops happening when you have. success there's definitely you have. Peaks and troughs in your career where. people are more interested or less. interested but you don't have the like I.

don't know I don't think you have as. many um normal life lessons you still. get quite abnormal life lessons I think. because in the sort of celebrity sphere. it can be quite abnormal but you don't. have the. like I don't know regular stuff yeah. does that make sense yeah I think it. does dude I. don't I am the worst person to ask if. something makes sense or not to be. honest with you yeah every time people. ask my mates are so excited that I'm. doing this today by the way who is all. of my friends yeah the guy that um.

there's a guy living at our at our house. at the moment and uh he was like trying. to get off work to just come down and. just say hi Oh and just Mill around like. a loitering they call it yeah yeah I. think you guys loitering must be a. British thing huh cuz we wouldn't say. that loitering what would you say we be. like oh yeah stalking well stalking is. more like once you've loitered and you. see something in the window you know you. see something you see a bit of tits in. the distance or. something um but yeah that's stalking. yeah yeah and then it's breaking and. entering you know and then it's marriage.

usually if you have a way with words I. think um but yeah I think uh are you you. married lering sounds very British no no. I'm not married um I would like to be. kind of I guess you have to loiter more. for that to happen right yeah I need a. bit more loitering yeah I need to bring. the binoculars you know maybe bring a. Red Bull that's the loiterer you got to. really be aware of the Red Bull Lo just. standing there with a Red Bull small. sips yeah yeah yeah small sips [ __ ].

know I haven't had Red Bull in years man. oh probably good for you oh yeah there. was a time when I was doing like loads. and loads of like breakfast TVs and. radios and stuff like that it used to be. those massive monster drinks when you. were torn like to get your singles out. there and stuff like that you used to. kind of like have to turn up at like. 3:30 a.m. to a German weather program to. play 30 Seconds of your new single so. like those those stages yeah chance of. rain but chance of edge Sheeran first I. remember so so clearly playing I got up.

at like they were doing it in some like. theme park in the middle of Germany and. it was just obviously empty because it. was like 4:00 a.m. yeah and I start. playing on this thing on this weather. program and then I can see the credits. rolling underneath me like 10 seconds in. and I'm like am I the [ __ ] play out. music and then they just stopped it so I. played 10 seconds of my new single. basically oh yeah God luck Germany. Germany was a a tough market for me for. a while and then and then and then the. egg was cracked and now now we're good. You' think they'd take look at you and.

be like oh he could be one of us you. know I feel like you look like a closet. German is that fair to say to somebody I. don't even know I'm just loing no I. think I think well the red hair is more. Celtic so I'd say either Scottish or or. Irish or like the the Norwegians I think. would look at me and be like you want. there's some Viking you got a bit of. Viking in you we'll take them yeah yeah. I might have a little bit like I you'll. see me in like the frozen food area kind. of like in the store you know yeah I'll. Mill about in there know.

kind you know what's your uh background. Heritage have you got European I'm. polish here Nicaraguan my dad was from. um Nicaragua his parents met down there. and he was born there and then my mother. I don't know dude but wherever she's. from they have some real oneof a kind. type ladies do you have rage in you are. you you an angry guy you seem a very. chilled guy can you can you have an. argument with someone uh yeah I don't. know if I have an argument I like have. kind of trouble process in my feelings.

so I'm like that I'm always like the. start and stop with you know I'm like. the guy who like can't get like the gear. shift to work or something you're. watching that guy drive you I'm like a. student driver yeah when it comes to my. feelings do they have student drivers. here yeah yeah I didn't learned to drive. until I was 24 cuz like as I said with. the train thing public transport here. was actually really really good um so I. never learned to drive and then mate on. my first driving test so I'd learned I. was learned to drive for like eight. eight months and uh on the first test I.

failed cuz I was going round a. roundabout and my mom called me to see. if I'd passed the test and I just. quickly took it and like cancelled the. call and then the driving instructor was. just like you've just failed the test. for that and she was ringing to see if. I'd done well past yeah yeah I failed. god dude that's when you got to just. yeah that's kind of the times I'm glad. my mom didn't care that much yeah you. know because yeah I passed you probably. but Americans can drive from like 16 but. they shouldn't all be allowed to drive.

and they I do think American drivers man. like when I'm over there I'm like this. is [ __ ] sketchy they drive to kill. yeah they drive to I sort of feel like. here we have to learn how to like. parallel park and do all these other. things I think in America it's like can. you reverse good yeah past yeah well. it's I think people are America just. anything can be a weapon there you know. it's like so what have you got hidden. under your bed what's your weapon uh. weapon of choice I probably couple. knives a lot of my kitchen knives are in.

my room cool kind of strategically. placed or whatever you know like oh I'll. be here I need a knife you you kids. they're not like reaching under the bed. and finding a huge no no no and I go. small blade kind of you know I'm more of. a sh you know I think I'd be more. terrified of you with a kitchen blade. than yeah I'm more of a chef than like a. hatchet guy you know I'm more like a. I'll Juliana burglar but have you got a. meat cleaver in the bedroom that would. be terrifying seeing you running down a. corridor fully naked with a meat cleaver.

yeah dude especially yeah if somebody. thinks they want if somebody orders a. small sausage dude cuz I'll freaking cut. one up right there it'll be out of. business in a moment if you if you had a. home invasion and you had a meet cland. that that would be far more terrifying. than oh I would yell I have a meat. cleaver that's the first thing I would. yell at. them God I think that would be something. else um dude what was something I was. going to tell you oh what was I thinking. yeah dude I don't know a ton I know some. British music we've had a nice time over.

here we went to Ireland not Britain. though and not that's not Britain no and. if you make that mistake in Ireland they. will boo you they don't yeah if you say. if you say it's good to be back in the. UK you will get booed there but if you. say [ __ ] England they will cheer yeah I. will actually if you say that in Wales. Scotland and Ireland they'll cheer yeah. yeah yeah yeah especially now like. Scotland now in the in the Euros so I. played the Euros launch whatever on on. Wednesday I was in Germany. and it's a footb the Euro launch what is.

a football game footballs yeah okay. soccer footballs uh and uh I made the. decision to wear an England shirt on. stage in Germany and it was mostly. German and Scottish fans cuz that's the. first game didn't didn't go down hugely. well yeah but then I was like I'm not. going to wear a German shirt on right. because that's posing yeah yeah I got I. got given like five German shirts before. the show as well to like take pictures. with and blah blah blah and I was like. I'm just not not going to wear these. yeah yeah yeah people get so competitive. about that kind of stuff man um who's. your football team like who's who are.

you supporting in the Euros You' got to. like subscribe to some of it cuz it's. the probably Scotland probably yeah. they're playing today playing Germany. today of course they are if they if they. beat Germany y that's a big big party in. Scotland oh they don't have a chance I. don't think but no you you would be. surprised You' be anything can happen I. hope that they win we lost we lost to. Iceland the other day oh God yeah and. they don't even have green grass do they. that's [ __ ] unbelievable.

dude I mean that's a bit of a sad thing. um I like it though I like the. unpredictableness of football I find. like American sport I find really um I. love watching American sport but there's. no uh penalty for being bad you just get. given more money in first draft so you. have your teams yeah and then if. someone's bad they go to the bottom they. get first draft they can get better. again here if you're bad you're out The. League you're just out and you go into a.

league that's not on television and you. have to like fight to get back up into. the league that's on television and if. you're bad in that League you go to a. lower league my football team like for. the past six years have not been on. television at all we were in the third. division two years ago um and we've just. finally got back up to the the Premier. League but it's more exciting it's. unpredictable whereas like I'm a big. Tennessee Titans fan and they're kind of. always here yeah you know they're pretty. M yeah yeah yeah but you know what even. in the game itself I didn't realize that.

until you just said that it's more. unpredictable in the game it's like with. soccer like you can get the ball back in. a moment yeah so you could suddenly be. an offense but on in the NFL it's like. it's very tactical in NL you know it's. going to be a little while before you. get the ball back you know and then. there's going to be and if you drop your. guard in soccer for five minutes your. team can be like there was one uh One. World Cup that was in Brazil and Brazil. were arguably the best team at that time. um and Germany ended up beating them 71.

just because there was like 20 minutes. of them letting their guard down yeah. that was that was insane bro I remember. that I was in Vegas actually when I um. when I was watching it that's where I. met you at in Vegas yeah yeah yeah man. that was a crazy night [ __ ] up dude. what was that cuz like the chains. hookers were just supposed to be. performing right I had gone I was doing. my final tour show so we basically Were. Meant to play play the allegiance. stadium in August and we'd set up our. whole St we I have a in the round stage. and we have these m massive pylons that.

basically hang up all the speakers and. screens and and stuff like that and it's. weighted so everything has to be exactly. the same weight um and in a regular. Stadium it's a concrete floor you put. them in they stay there we didn't. realize that Allegiance Stadium didn't. have a concrete floor I don't know where. that uh misalignment happened but anyway. so we put it in it has a rubber floor. and the stage was slowly slipping and. these are like you know tons and tons. and tons and tons of steel on people so. we had to cancel the gig 20 minutes.

before it started and Vegas isn't a. place where like people like 80,000. people that live in Vegas are going to. go people had flown in theyd got hotels. and so hot it was like one of the worst. days on tour that it was just it was. Grim so we rescheduled the Allegient. Stadium gig for then so that was my. final show of the tour um and yeah we we. got pretty [ __ ] lit up afterwards and. uh that's where I saw you i' kind of I. know that chain smokers so it sort of. turned up and then uh yeah great kind of.

turned into karaoke yeah CU I was sort. of thinking if you'd spent money on like. a VIP table that night see the chain. smokers and then suddenly just there's. drunk me on stage in a Avengers mask. yeah it was good it like and here's the. thing man people knew it was you okay oh. yeah yeah yeah yeah I think at first. people I was very aware that like I was. just wearing the mask cuz they were. wearing it it it was Halloween remember. it was Halloween yeah yeah let's say. that to give so so do you know do you. know those guys yeah I just know him. from like seeing them at different shows.

and being around them and stuff like. that but their energy is always fun and. good you know and like um I just love. getting to spend time with them their. shows are always fun like I go to their. shows sometimes I'll go to Diplo what I. go to Fred again recently I like going. to see what some of the DJs are like you. know um but then you got up and it. seemed like you were going to maybe do. one song and I was how are they going to. get are they going to go like a little. bit more ballady what are they going to. do and then by the by like four songs. later it's just a it's a uh it's your.

show man that was it dude four songs. later and it's just a it's an edge cheer. and people are just kissing and there's. doves and stuff suddenly where the. where' we get a bunch of [ __ ] doves. you know there's like it was very it was. very interesting of H like people making. wishes and stuff and hugging their. grandmothers are you going to go to any. of the uh World Cup games in 26 in. America I probably will and that's. soccer yeah yeah oh yeah I'll probably. get over to some of them our soccer's. been pretty bad man our country's going.

through a lot I'll be honest with you. it's one of the reasons why I'm over. here um have you not noticed ours is too. like I feel like I feel like English. people and Americans they always they're. like ah do you know what the other place. is better and then you go to the other. place you like it's kind of I feel like. the world is going through quite a lot. like we we travel a lot and it's like. election time all around the world and. everywhere I go I'm like oh it's kind of. the same here as well I feel like. everyone is going through a shift of. that's a good point you guys election. are happening right now huh yeah yeah I.

am it's pretty pretty bunk as some of. the [ __ ] that's coming out like it's. like you're sort of watching these. interviews being like does your like. brain connect to your mouth or like I. sometimes feel like people don't want to. get elected but they're saying stuff to. just be like now I'm done man I'm done. it's it's mad well I'm sure you Pro. there's probably times you get halfway. into something you're like I don't know. about this you know like people get. staged fight at the altar all the time. sometimes or some you'll buy something. at the market and you'll put it back on. the like in the gums or the candies or.

something you put like just a pack of. like sausages back there or something so. I think that there's um if there's. knocking there's someone doing work next. door by the way as long as it's not an. indentured servant I think we're good. you know what I'm saying just because. Britain's had their history but um and. I'm not saying America didn't polish it. up a little but we've all you know we've. all sinned a little um or we didn't but. for fathers definitely you know had some. crazy plans but. um yeah dude but yeah nice to be over. here I like some like I listen to James.

Blake I like his music a lot you know so. I'll listen to some James Blake and um. oh yeah I'll listen to Fred again what. other kind of I'm trying to think of. British music do I listen. to um oh nice day for a w wedding oh. cool yeah that guy you know him yeah uh. no I don't I mean I know the song I. don't I don't know him um person start. again who's your every little sister. maybe that's not the lyric thats a.

little bit your um NFL team then oh. sorry I'm a Saints New Orleans Saints. fan cool are you from New Orleans then. yeah that's from from out of Louisiana. so why moved to Nashville well I lived. in La for a while and then Nashville was. open during the pandemic yeah yeah so. you could do what you want you could. like you know spit you could spit on. people and they were still okay with it. you know like so it definitely like the. good criteria to move to a town be like. can I Spit on people or you know you. could t you know you could just you know.

I mean you couldn't even yeah it just. that mask when you think about what the. mask it just like you could I will say. this though you could look at somebody. and kind of lick your lips in a way that. you wouldn't normally be able to and. that's something I miss you know just. being Point Blank I like the fact I I. can move I really love public transport. and I can move around easier now since. Co because wearing a ski mask is not. seen as creepy yeah people just you're. just sort of in a ski mask oh that's a. good point is still in one yeah every. now and then yeah if I go in the airport.

now and I'll I'll just wear like one of. those long neck ones you know and I. definitely feel like oh people are like. who's the weirdo still with the neck and. the glasses and the hat and I'll even. put a wig on sometimes and like who the. hell is this lady TR a good idea yeah. trying to. get uh dressing up as Santa Claus when I. went to the supermarket at Christmas. because I was like I was like I really. need to go and get Christmas supplies. but the supermarket's obviously really. busy at Christmas and I'm not like I I.

don't I don't blend in that well and I. was like if I dressed up as Santa Claus. maybe that'd be fine walk in get your. Christmas supplies everyone's like santz. here you know did I see that there's no. way I saw Shing as Santa Claus bying. Bagels um did you see that fighter that. looked like you the other day it was. like on a UFC fight or something oh my. God yeah well I mean I thought it was. you brother well he is a look alike he's. oh he is did you not see the thing where. there was the Floyd Mayweather no the. KSI Logan Paul fight. and I was like I was ringside but it was.

this this look alike and then some. YouTubers had done a thing where they. were like let's try and fool them and. they got this look alike and Eddie um. Hearn essentially just gave my look. alike ringside tickets and he was only. the only way that he was found out was. Justin Bieber turned up and was like. that's not it wow and yeah but yeah I. did see it I did see it did you see the. Eddie hul one no I didn't see it what is. it can we watch it can we get the Eddie. hul one up because look I just the other. night I was going through on Tik Tok or.

something the other night so this is the. same the same fights up you know just go. on the shorter one like the. real down oh sorry the shorts just down. there yeah one of. them just two on oh my gosh huh and are. those the island boys whated who he. beating oh who and here we go on the. replay lifting up oh that guy's Irish. for sure the one he toss. this is like.

wow oh my God huh just sleeping pill so. that was the same night I think that the. that my look Alik was doing the fight oh. well this is what it's coming to that's. good boys we get it I don't think um. this is what it's coming to no Ed I'm. just going to let you know this is the. kind of thing that it's coming to people. are going to you're going to have like. uh you know freckled stepmother vers. like you know um gambling addict vietn. enemies or something you know it's going. to it's getting that's we're all going.

to be bet it's just constant betting I. think you can feel it coming up in the. world it's like would you do one of. them against a male or female you. think uh against Caleb oh against Caleb. Presley yeah yeah yeah oh man you you. get you and him both have the. mischievous look in your eyes all the. same time so that's how you guys could. be related um had a good night with. Caleb did you I was just with him in.

Lisbon yesterday my friend got married. and we and uh and we went to Lisbon I. went over there to see him Caleb came to. a show in Dublin and then we went over. there it was really cool Lisbon's. amazing Lisbon is amazing Lisbon's. amazing oh Caleb's great though dude. he's very smart mischievous he likes to. like who do you think wins between me. and Caleb yeah great question you and. him both get in a cage you put on those. little gloves but how little the gloves. here's what I think you should to do. gloves that are way too small not just.

gloves that are like weighted gloves but. like extra small yeah yeah and then your. hands are like this you know and then. you have to fight like oh dang I can't. did you ever fight at school did you do. wrestling and stuff I've gotten beat I. got beaten at decent amount as a lad I. remember um I remember at our school if. you got in a fight during school this is. what they made you do you had to stand. in the hall whoever you fought and you. had to put your hands on each other's. shoulders for the rest of the day and. just be and looking at each other and. talking so by the end of the day you.

were friends with whoever you fought you. know and all the kids would come down. the hole between class and call you a. wanker whatever you know or you know. that sounds that sounds actually quite a. good way to solve problems I thought it. was yeah cuz it was no by the end of the. day you you were had and make each other. laugh or figure out what went on and you. realize that like yeah you're probably. similar people similar yeah well you. certainly didn't like didn't hate each. other by at the end of the day yeah or. and if you thought the guy was a bully. you got to kind of figure it out with. him or and you work out why he was being.

a bully or lashing out right what was. going on I just kind of an interesting. program man um yeah I don't have a wife. but I'm probably going to get one one of. these days and so do you um do you think. it's hard cuz you're like the love like. a lot of your songs have like a lot of. love in them you know and so is it hard. to still be like does your wife ever. feel like oh you write all the good. songs for the whole world world no I. think you know we went to we went to.

high school together so we've known each. other 22 years now and all of our mates. are the same friends so we're like we. have like a little suffk cohort and it's. she's very she's very comfortable with. she's known me through everything so. she's not like there's not really any. self-consciousness that comes through it. I guess and we are I mean with with each. other all I'm going to see after this um.

to have a little little break but like. um yeah we're with each other all the. time so we talk we talk a lot I find. that uh small lots of lots of little. small uncomfortable conversations save. arguments so you just like if anything. ever comes up and we'll just sort of nip. it in the bud there rather than let like. resentment build yeah I struggle with. that sometimes man yeah I'll just I want. to try and yeah I don't know sometimes I. can feel like right now you should. probably say this that way everything. will be smooth and. that too and then you just have to be.

like and just say it and then it's it's. actually fine I'm I kind of do that with. like everyone I'm just try try to be. like as honest as possible at all points. and then there's not really you kind of. see it as uh like uh bricks in a. backpack like you you've got loads of. bricks in your backpack and if you can. take a brick out quickly it just. lightens the load so it's just getting. the bricks out yeah you know yeah gosh I. wonder how many relationships for years. husbands and wives just sit on their. work. you know what I'm saying go through.

every and just sitting on a [ __ ] for a. sentence just one sentence running at. you with a meat cleaver yeah dud yeah it. and just serving the last sausage. brother in the dark hallway yeah like a. good man over there in leads or wherever. what's the most dangerous place to be. around here here uh I'd say every every. area of London has a literally. everywhere area is sketch. like I think that you canot be.

anywhere uh I love that yeah it's not. it's not like a segregated City there's. like it's very everybody's SK every's no. I mean the nice areas are sketchy the. bad areas are sketchy but you just have. to not do stupid [ __ ] like if you if you. wander around uh with I don't know like. a Louis Vuitton duffel bag and a 200. Grand watch you are going to get robbed. like like that but just don't do that.

yeah don't do it yeah I think um and. y'all's robberies all have Clues and. stuff that's what I like about London. clues or like if you know if there's. something that happens it's like oh he. is a clue you know and the the. detectives or whatever then they're hot. on your Trail that's what I that's one. of like the I think the things that like. you guys I love the everything that you. think about England is based on movies. and like cuz it's the way that I used to. view America as well I used I remember. remember going I was uh my wife went to.

Duke and we went back my mother went to. Duke cool good good University but I. remember we were in town for something. and we were driving past the Frat houses. and I was like I've never been to a frat. party should we just knock on the door. of one of them and they'll be having a. frat party like the movies and like. Cherry was like yeah I guess so they're. a bit it's not like that Vibe and I uh. we went up I knocked on the door one of. them opened the door and was like why. are you knocking on our door and then we. went in and it was just like three dudes. and one guy who had his face super glued.

to the floor and it was like not the. vibe and I was like this isn't like the. movies all like they he was just. literally like this face super Glu down. and they were just like yeah we don't. really know how yeah I think well you. it's hard to get that guy up I bet and. then yeah they were just in there. manufacturing ripol or something like. that a GHB or whatever a lot of homemade. GHB in those areas but yeah it's not. it's not like it's not like the movies. yeah it's not yeah not that's kind of. ever I don't know like even today we. pulled up in a nodding Hill and I was.

like we're going to be in love or. whatever you know cuz nodding Hill is. quite this is quite like if you're. talking about like nice areas seem. romantic you know like you'd meet like. you know Paddington bearers having a. coffee with a woman or something over. there you know like beity. yeah caffeine fuel vity dude that's how. new have you ever have I ever no have. you ever. considered a collab with Padington bear.

uh I yeah do you know what I would love. to do a uh kids movie now now that I. have children I'd love to do some some. form of animated something with with. music I don't know if it's Paddington. Bear or yeah something he's a famous. British bear isn't he very well he's. actually from where's Paddington Bear. from Peru yeah he's from he's from well. but in the in the book He's from Peru he. travels over to England he's obsessed. with Jam is it Jam sandwiches or peanut.

butter sandwich jam and was he allowed. to stay after brexit or was he well this. is M this is so I have an Irish passport. and uh you can only spend 90 days in. Europe if you're um English so I I was. like I'm I have the Irish passport I can. tour more in in Europe but like none of. my crew can spend more than 90 days. there and it used to be brexit I think. everyone has agreed that brexit didn't. work and I don't I think there will be a. time where we will try and backtrack it.

a little bit and get back into Europe. but yeah it's uh it was one of the it. was such a divisive thing at the time. people yeah it was like 50% of the. country thought we should leave 50% of. the country thought we should stay it. was a very very very small margin that. we left and I feel like the people that. voted leave now are like actually wasn't. the best idea maybe we should have. stayed yeah that's how we're feeling I. think after the Mayflower and everything. I think we might build another Mayflower.

what is the Mayflower the ship that we. left on a long time ago right and we. when you say. we a lot of people yeah I think a lot of. people are going to be coming back I. really do like we might build a June. flower July flower I don't know we're. going to build one month we're going to. build a big boat and I think we're. coming back cool I just don't think it's. panned out as well as we expected over. there it's just gotten kind of like a. lot of the tradition I think is. disappearing in America and maybe that's. good like sometimes you just don't I. think that's the scary thing about when. tradition goes away what is what is the.

cuz I see America as like lots and lots. and lots of traditions and cultures what. is the the one Central tradition that. Americans can agree on that's a good. point I think or maybe we're just in a. phase where there isn't really that. right and so that feels like but you. still scary you'll still celebrate July. 4th and stuff like that that's like. everyone will celebrate that. right some people now are seeing it as. it's like a bad thing you know like but.

then it's not like we it's like I turned. up to my first July 4th in a red coat. did you yeah let's go dude and and a. flag cuz I was like and the UK flag. we're coming back yeah yeah Captain Jack. what is it Jack Union Jack the flags are. weird over here as well because I don't. think you can fly flags unless the. football's on yeah yeah yeah yeah if. somebody's flying without the football. like oh that gu yeah he's not doing it. as well he's.

I'll buy drugs cuz you my man. so a clue what's your uh what's your. drug of choice are you like going mad. prescription no I'm I think my I I guess. I'm probably more pretty much a straight. cocaine guy you know I would guess yeah. I would just I would definitely oh. yeah I will even I remember even when I. quit doing drugs I would still if my. buddy of mine was doing a line of. cocaine which I don't recommend to.

anyone um but I've done it a lot but I. would hold the back of his neck while he. did it like that's how close I still. wanted to be to the. action and that's very the back of your. neck is a Sentimental Place yeah yeah. it's also like that's quite like I felt. if someone grabbed the back of my neck. I'd be like what is about to happen yeah. it feels but if they casually just ride. just you know just ride shot still quite. there's still a bit of predator in that. I agree okay A bit of it's a really. gentle car that's even worse the gentle.

caress on the back of the neck oh yeah. it's very oh my God just the loitering. of the hand and just it's like writing. shotgun on a line of cocaine really in a. way and it's yeah but yeah so obviously. I've you know so what how long you been. sober for probably about two years right. now congrats man thanks man it's amazing. appreciate I had a couple years and it's. just yeah cuz I get all squired out you. know I'll be in your yard boy you know. what I'm saying I'll be in your [ __ ]. oh yeah I'll be [ __ ] out there so now.

you are you are the guy with the red. bull just to get definitely oh I look. like I'm making Bluetooth or something I. start you know getting the Jitters. people like oh my God that guy's showing. up as a. router that guy is not doing well you. know so that's kind of the stuff. that's is it um what's a what's like a. since you've had you been obviously very. gifted and had a lot of success and.

worked very hard all those things what. are some stuff as that you kind of. wanted to do and you didn't cuz touring. and stuff takes a lot of time and. touring and working and it's like when. you're I've I've never been to a water. park in my life yeah oh and that's. something that I'm like uh I'd love to. do at some point but I've never been. ever and is it because like a sunshine. thing is like a no it's uh um as I said. like I got I I left school before school. oh and no it's not that's not I just I.

left I went to be a singer I became a. singer and in that time I was working. just flat out to become a singer and. then I became a singer and then because. I people knew who I was it sort of. limited things that I could do but I. never really did it in I was so focused. on my career that you know there were TV. shows that were like massive cultural. phenomenons at the time in my age group. that I only discovered like 5 years ago. or like I didn't watch any football I. didn't pay attention to this it was just. so I'm going to I want to do this um so.

yeah there was some things that I missed. out on in that time one of which being a. it's it's a silly thing but it's. something that I would love to do at. some point oh you should get a B you. should get a bus full. of I don't want to say ginger men or. whatever and take them to a water park I. think it would be and I don't know if. that I hope that's not an offensive term. it's not or I think you should get Boss. full of it's interesting though isn't it. the ginger thing cuz it's like it is the.

last Bastion of that you can't no not no. no it's but things that you can make fun. of someone uh on a TV show picked up. they put a picture of a ginger cat on. and they were like this cat kind of. looks like you and in my head I was like. if there was someone fat on this couch. and you got up a picture of a fat cat. that would be really offensive so when. when does the line start it stops just. right outside of Ginger I think I think. so too with well in America it stops you. the only people you can still make fun. of are like redneck white people and.

everybody else is kind of off limit so. it's like you know yeah but I support. I've always supported people that. are really pale with red hair yeah yeah. they come out with an SPF milkshake dud. I think you definitely the the uh amount. of um sort of fun that's made out of you. as a kid makes for a good personality oh. I feel like I feel like I have more fun. than the pretty kids that I grew up with. oh yeah dude my best friend was the.

goodlook kid dude oh no not him he's. pretty goodlooking too dude he also. looks like a really hot woman in some. countries okay I'm not going to name him. but a lot of Slavic. areas he's a he's a nine female nine. dude if he and that's only if he. partially. shaves um so but know my buddy Scott. when I was gr up that's whose wedding I. was at he was like the handsomest guy.

dude and he's just got no chat and he. just he but no he was great he was just. but yeah I always had to be the other. guy yeah you know and um but you. probably you feel like you've aged like. a fine wine right I've aged I've aged um. I've aged like a. decent provolone I think more I don't. know if I'd say fine. one yeah maybe a age Pro alone I'm sure. it ages huh just get moldy.

right you got to get tested every now. and then you know what I'm saying keep. your pH Balan decent um but I was going. to say are there time are the things you. started to do like in your career that. you started like it was another like. thing you wanted to start to learn like. learn a language you know like Joe Rogan. told me one day he's like when I'm done. with doing this job I want to paint and. I never thought I would hear him say I. was like huh yeah how how Stone paints. really really well Howard Stone does. like amazing watercolors they're like.

you see them and you're like holy [ __ ]. yeah dud Silence of the Lamb's paints. dude that. gu what's his name Anthony Hopkins. Anthony Hopkins dude bring him up oh wow. he paints that's amazing um I the land. stop painting I I paint as well oh. really I didn't actually at the at the. front of the pub there's a painting that. I did but it's less it's more it's more. I just go in into a studio with canvases. on the floor and just splash loads of.

color and when it's done it's done but. that's more like I started doing that. when I finished I I did this tour uh. that ended in 2019 and when it finished. I was like I don't want to do music for. like a month but also I want to carry on. being creative and and do stuff so I. started paying then I learned Italian as. well in that was like a thing I I I. bought a place in Italy and no one no. one speaks English there so I was like I. have to learn Italian but those are like. the two things that if I wasn't doing. music I'd like to put more time into and.

honestly like discover I I love movies. discovering new things yeah like movies. like different artists albums will you. listen to something or watch something. to sometimes put you in like a mood to. like create your own um music even or to. write songs no my creative process is. just basically like do it like just get. in and do it and if it's bad forget. about it and move move on so I tried to. be creative every single day write a.

song every single day or two songs every. single day and not worry about whether. it's good or not like not be like uh I. feel like some people think that like. writers block is a thing where you're. like oh I can't write songs you can. write songs you just can't write good. songs so just like keep writing get the. bad ones out exactly yeah so Shape Of. You was written on a day and we wrote. four other songs that day that no one's. really heard and shape of view came out. of that and if I hadn't written The four. bad songs I wouldn't have got the one. good song so yeah just a process of just.

con constantly doing it but I don't. think I've ever really watched the only. movie that I've watched to create. something was I did a song for uh The. Hobbit and they they showed me the movie. and then they went this is the point. where the song comes in and your song. has to convey this and bring the. audience out of the movie and it was a. point where smugs go into the big um. town at the end and he's going to. destroy it and cover it in Fire and. Flames and blah blah blah so they were. like we need you this chaotic bit and. then a calm bit and you basically taking.

the audience out of the cinema so that. was the first time I've been like. inspired by a movie I guess wow that's a. pretty cool task huh yeah really cool. and also in that process you're. essentially working in a uh creative. medium that you don't really know. anything about and you're so excited. like I was so geeked out to be working. with like Peter and Fran and then. getting to do the Press tour with all of. the actors and stuff and you're suddenly. there in a world that you don't really. belong in but it's like it's like the. reason musicians are obsessed with.

sports players and sports players are. obsessed with musicians and it's because. each can do something that the other. can't do but there's still like a level. of dedication you have to do to get to. that point and um I love being on the. other side of the coin I went to my like. went to one of the Celtics games the. other day and being like Boston Celtics. oh yeah you get in free over there I'm. sure dude there's no way they're like he. made it finally dude was that and no. judgment dude it's all good man if I. show up yeah if I show up like at a.

remedial Reading Center I [ __ ] get in. immediately you. know yeah yeah the Cel but but my point. is being on the watching it and I've. never really had an appreciation for. basketball before because I've never. really like I've been to like a couple. of games but like something clicked on. that game and I was like this is so. exciting and they're so skilled and it's. so fast and like what I loved about it. is is in in football if you're losing 5-. nil with 10 minutes to go you've lost.

and in basketball you could be losing. like by 20 or 30 points with the last. two minutes to go and it just could go. Bam Bam Bam Bam Bam and then win it's. like really exciting yeah who's your. who's your basketball team um. basketball I don't know I don't know. dude actually I like Caitlyn Clark's. team I I started following her in. college and I'm a I like I'll watch her. highlights and stuff you know she plays. for Indiana Fever now but um me and. Caleb went to a iow hawkey game where. she broke the record wow which was. pretty cool dude I like I like Iowa a.

lot we're pretty hyp I like Iowa too man. you know in Iowa play I played Indie Car. in in Iowa really yeah I remember did. you race or no no I was just playing the. gig I I waved the flag not not very well. um I remember walking you bring the. Union Jack to that and people will get a. little teed I. think someone uh as I was walking to. Stage someone grabbed my arm and looked. at me dead in the eyes was like welcome. to God's country Ed. oh my God I Lov it oh yeah that sounds.

like the ghost of high cholesterol found. you dude like in a Charles Dickens novel. or something um damn yeah I'm trying to. think oh yeah some I'm trying to think. of um yeah have you ever gotten asked to. go play for like a Chic or anything over. there in like a in like a castle or. anything like that or where like in um. the desert or anything. uh no uh probably probably my what yeah. I've we get private show requests my. thing is like I never want to.

feel owned like I don't want someone to. be like you do this you do this because. I paid you this so like if I'm ever. going to do uh a private show it's. usually for like it's usually for like a. company's end of year party or something. and they're just like just do a show you. turn up and you play play the show but I. I would feel weird if someone was like. you come and you sing this song at the. time that we tell you to sing it and you. just i' I I like touring I like playing. shows so I do my shows and if I'm ever.

going to do a private gig it's usually. someone just saying can you just do the. show that you do there but in a smaller. place is what I would prefer to do right. yeah not like yeah come perform it in. this wet cage at 640 come and play come. and play a cover of um this song that. isn't even your song to my daughter. while she uh eats breakfast like I'm not. that that ain't me yeah that's like kind. of that's almost very expensive ASMR it. sounds like as well um but one time I. got offered to go to this place in the.

Middle East somewhere and it was like. like ludara or somewhere place you. hadn't even heard of right dude so it. could have just been in New Jersey or. whatever but they were and it was like a. there was like a Chic and you had to be. behind a big plexiglass area you would. come in perform there he would be eating. there with like 90 of his girlfriends or. whatever you would perform and then um. you lie down and he shits on your chest. B I mean there may have been an Afters.

I'm I'm not sure brother I didn't know. but uh I didn't read the whole fan flet. either but um I do know that they were. allowed to ask a few questions at the. end and then you got to eat but you had. to stay in this area by yourself through. the plexiglass while they all had you. did while they had a great time I didn't. go and what was the what was the fee for. that the fee was probably. $1,500 so what is it like do you have a. private fee like if someone someone goes. come play a B Mitzvah yeah you have a. fee yeah now I would have a fee for sure.

cuz it's like what else do you want to. do with your time are you already. relaxing or you going to be missing. something that's important cuz now I. have to set up time where I'm relaxing. it's like I had to set up time to watch. baby reindeer I had to put it on my. calendar good show you know God it was. good I hope they do it. again you know I'd hate to I hate to for. them not to go through it all again. especially the guy kind of went through. as in do like a sequel show yeah yeah or. just both of them just figure it out. didn't they talk about they are doing a.

season two and it's like from the. perspect isn't there like it's the court. case or something like that apparently. she's going to get her side of the story. yeah wow God I can't wait well good good. it's balance oh yeah it's very fair we. need balanced news out there because. yeah we yeah I love that lady that's the. crazy thing you almost start to fall in. love with the. lady you didn't think no PE the way she. was talking to Piers Morgan. have you done the Pierce Morgan show you. know he just asked me to do it you're.

going to do it I don't. know I don't know I don't know enough. about it's hard for me to know what. British people are up to you know like. some cultures you can kind of get a read. on them and you're like what's going on. I think Britain's very direct I think. he'd ask you a lot of very direct. questions and you wouldn't but you don't. strike me as the sort of person that. like needs to navigate direct questions. so I think you'd be fine I did his show. like 203 13 when he was on CNN and um I. I found it a great interview yeah yeah.

you enjoyed it yeah he's like a. researched guy and he doesn't like he. just asks you the questions that I feel. like people would want to hear I think. yeah 100% man do you feel like you'll. make different music since you have like. a family and stuff now does that start. to like I guess it's kind of a silly. question but it's like I made an album. that my fans weren't like over the moon. about because I feel like I was in quite. a happy point of my life and so the. album didn't have much tension it was.

just I made a record um but yeah I feel. like my you know just because I'm. married with kids doesn't mean that like. you don't have tension in your life I. feel like even more so there's been. things in my life that have happened. over the past two years so I think the. music that I'm making at the moment is. more like the music I was making in my. early 20s when there was a lot of. tension going on in in my life but you. defin you go through periods of time. don't you I'm sure you go through. periods of time where you're like things. are good yeah I feel quite settled quite. happy and then suddenly a bomb shell.

happens and then you have to yeah yeah. so I feel like that's for me always. creating music I can see like back on my. albums as like a lineage of like this is. where I was at this point this is where. I was at this point and I feel like if. all of the albums sounded the same it'd. be boring yeah you have to evolve in. some sort and it's good to have like. this is the album when I was like the. album when I I made an album in covid. quite settled quite happy we had our. first child and yeah I listen to that. now and it's not the there's no like. heartbreak songs on it or sad songs or. BL it's just kind of it is what it is.

yeah cuz a lot of times it's like rip my. [ __ ] heart out Eddie you know yeah I. think I'm getting back okay good on this. one I think uh that's what we want man. but but this is what you're saying about. taking time off you have to take time. off to actually live life like if I'm on. the road I think this is another thing. why people who get successful early have. their age freeze cuz when I'm I'm on the. road life does just pause cuz you like. today you wake up on a plane you fly. here we're do an interview you might go. out after dinner tonight you got there's. no like actual real real life.

interaction in your actual personal life. being lived because you're constantly. working so you'll go back I always found. this you'll go back home and you'll. press play on your life again and then. you'll be like holy [ __ ] so much has. happened how do I keep up with this. you've your friend who was dating this. person is now not dating this person. you've missed that whole thing your dad. might be going through something you've. missed that whole thing like your. brother's doing this it is weird that's. a really great way to say it too yeah. it's like you just put it pause and you. go and do your thing and you come back. and you press play on you but it's like. the whole world has been right pressing.

play yeah and I think I think everybody. can even relate to that too I mean going. and touring and that kind of thing is a. little separate different because you. kind of get taken out of your life. almost and then go and then you just. drop right back into your life you okay. well like yeah even for me it's like. well was I dating somebody oh [ __ ] I. never responded my sister invited me to. this and that thing's over now and it's. like why yeah just like and then you. look at old emails or sometimes like. your thoughts processes will have. changed and things you wanted to do and. move forward with three months ago.

you're like ah don't that's not the. thing I need now some things you're glad. you didn't move forward with some things. you're like oh dang I missed out exactly. but some of that's kind of fascinating. when I started podcasting an online. store was one of the furthest things. from my imagination having a place to. sell things or sell t-shirts or this or. that and it started off my buddy Ken was. making our uh t-shirts in his basement. and things started to grow and as the.

EO did you ever like dude I'll notice. sometimes like I get scared to like see. people in person because I feel like I'm. not going to be able. to um like live up to whoever they think. I am does that make sense or is that. like really egotistical thing to think. do you think no I think especially like. the position that you're in and the kind. of like cultural significance of who you.

are and what people perceive you to be I. definitely get that because you might be. having an off day and people are like. hey be the guy and you're like [ __ ] off. like I just want to like chill out um so. yeah definitely but I think that my way. of moving through life is always just be. like always be completely honest of what. it is at that point so I remember being. I like I will usually say yes to. photographs if I'm with my kids I'm like. look I'm with my kids I'm trying to be a.

dad but like sometimes if I'm feeling. off like my my aunt died and I was at a. train station and someone was like being. really you know like a fan and like come. on and I was like like my Aunt has just. died please I just need a [ __ ] moment. and in if you are honest like that. people get it like no one's but if I'd. just been like [ __ ] off like Suddenly. It's a thing but I think Honesty. throughout this is what I was saying. earlier about just like saying truthful. things when they come into your brain. it's people get people appreciate. honesty I think yeah that's a good point.

and maybe they can feel it too that's. always the thing I think that gets weird. as you get older if you if you even. think about telling a lie sometimes or. even a small lie I'm like it just feels. like it's the lies if you tell lots of. small lies then you then have to keep up. on like Fu who did I say this to and who. did I do this so that's the if you go. through life and you're who did I tell I. was a mime and then you're. [ __ ] everybody you meet you're like. now that's a that that should be that. should be something that in your spare. time when you're trained to train your.

do stuff if Joe's going to be an artist. you should train to be a MIM I would. love to see you be mine fully painted. just be [ __ ] great and they're always. stuck in the smallest apartment it's. like first of all get a better job you. know and [ __ ] get out of that rat. trap that's what I always think about. those guys but that's a lost art isn't. it miming yeah what else is a lost art. dude there used to be a lot of mes Ed. yeah look pull that up dude how many mes.

were there probably in. 2010 or 2005 let's [ __ ] go back since. we have access to all this. [Music]. online and mes were some of the first. mixed people as well nobody wanted to. kind of see it like that I'm not sure. there's much records of mes yeah it's. quite a niche subject Theo it's quite a. like yeah this is another thing when you. watch trains be a mime you got to make. the mime archives cuz then we can we can.

rely on you to when we Google we're like. Theo's got. [Music]. us is it yeah it's kind of perfect dude. yeah why don't they have the [ __ ] first. of all I'll say this about mes they're. lazy dude I'll straight up say that. right now bro and mes well magicians are. comedians arch nemesis right and that's. been since like the beginning of time. dude but but I'll say this also mes can. suck it I'll go ahead and say that right.

now bro if you're a mime. dude bring it bro I think the day that. you learn to be a mime you'll actually. learn a bit of appreciation for it. you'll be like actually this is way. harder than I thought and then you'll be. making you make the M archive yeah that. can be that can be your side hustle. there should be who was the most famous. Mom oh well well there was Charlie. Chaplain wasn't there he's British. Marcel marel Marcel marel was British uh. no he's I think he's French yeah sure. I'm sure the Brits commandeered.

[Laughter]. him uh yeah I'm sure they put a flag on. his back at some point and said he was. British bip the clown his uh his name. was yeah yeah yeah yeah Maro yeah let me. look a little bit about him Marcel Maro. can you zoom in on that so I can read. that there brother you go up to the top. mar mar so 22nd of March he was born oh. he lived for a long time till 2007 was a. French mime artist actor and most famous. for his stage Persona bip the clown he.

referred to mime as the art of. Silence you know Mr Bean was kind of. like that wasn't he the other Mr Bean I. think it's fascinating well it's. fascinating because he uh essentially. every country understands Mr Bean. because there's no talking in it I heard. a rumor that he uh when he did the show. got them to agree to never show it in. Italy cuz he liked holidaying in in in. Italy so that's the one place that I. think they had the movie but they didn't.

have the TV show so it wasn't just. constant so you wouldn't remember him as. much did you ever get to meet him uh. there was a period of uh he was going to. be in a music video for a bit so we were. actually in touch on email and it was I. think the the I the idea I had was very. vague and I think that was the problem. it wasn't like this is what it is this. is when it's happening and it was. basically I was kind of like would you. be interested in this it might be this. and he was just like it needs to be more. more solid than that but we had we had a. good um exchange the guy who I did did.

you watch the movie yesterday yesterday. no no anyway the guy that made that. movie um I'm I'm in the movie I I play. my myself in in the movie but the guy. that made that movie who wrote Notting. Hill and Love Actually and four weddings. and funeral he wrote Mr Bean so he's. very close with he wrote so that was a. car it wasn't just that guy made it up. no well they they did it together I. think I think it was a stage show to. begin with so they did uh a show called. Black Adder which was I I think it's the.

best British comedy ever it's basically. Black Adder and it's set in it's the. same characters but set in different um. uh periods of time so there would be. somewhere there in the CH is it the. chuda time with um and then there's one. in the Georgian time there's one in. world war Black Adder one oh Mr Bean's. in it yeah he's he's the main guy so. they did that at first and then they did. um than they did Mr Bean I need to go. back and watch this then blackader is. like a an alltime classic really really.

good I watch they they do A Christmas. Carol and that's my like Christmas. routine as I always watch black out A. Christmas Carol oh yeah yeah I watch um. family man if you seen that with. Nicholas Cage cool you and the wife. should watch at this sh I've got a. massive cardb C out of Nicholas Cage in. my house really oh then you'll love it. you should put I watch I watched Mandy. and was just like I'm sold I got to have. some of that have you seen Mandy mm-m. it's [ __ ] Bon can you pull up the. scene um of him just type in uh Nicholas.

Cage Mandy toilet. scene Mr Bane what a great man wonder if. his children are allow and he's like oh. this isn't what I. wanted yeah.

wow it's a great movie yeah God that. alone that even just that much of a. moment of re something that feels so. real that is our political system right. now in. America somebody said that you used to. do like open go to comedy mics did you. ever uh not for me to do comedy but I. used to do it to actually no I did.

actually I did a um I used to uh play. with this um there were an. improvisational rap group called The. bandam Man and he was a comedian who. wrapped and made uh he basically would. be like they had a song called what's in. your pocket and he would rap about what. was in everyone's pockets and and make. it funny so I played with them for a bit. but no for me it was more um the scene. that I was a part of was very caky and. very like the cool kids over here and I. was always part of the Misfits and uh. you would go and play these gigs where.

everyone on the lineup would have an. acoustic guitar and they'd all be. singing love songs and I'd just be. another one of them just not as good I. wasn't I was 17 not 25 I had my songs. were very like rudimentary and like not. great and I S uh I found like this guy. actually my my best mate Jamal ran a uh. a YouTube channel that was primarily rap. and he put me on that channel and then. suddenly there was a whole. uh group of people that were like oh we. actually quite like this acous music so.

I would turn up at uh hip-hop Nights. First and grime nights and soul nights. and I would play and I would get a. better reaction because it was just. different it was something that would. stand out whereas I did not stand out on. the acoustic scene because it was just. the same as everyone everyone else. that's interesting and so and then I. started playing comedy comedy nights. poetry nights I would turn up at. different things I used to get roasted. whilst the toughest gig I ever ever. played it was an all black comedy night. in um Central London called the the.

Sunday show and I was booked for this. show and as I was setting up my guitar. the guy on stage was roasting me being. like what the [ __ ] is this white kid. doing with this tiny guitar and blah. blah blah and it was probably one of the. best gigs of my life I got on stage I. instantly I instantly went into a rap. tune I I dropped this song and this song. and this song and the reaction was. better than anywhere cuz I think people. were expecting me to fail and because I. didn't it was even better and uh yeah.

and those I think that is what gave me. my first bit of success my first Buzz. the buzz. within uh the kind of grime and RAP. Community in in the the UK I think that. was the first place I felt welcomed and. accepted and celebrated and still and. still is like I still feel more love and. appreciation from the misfit no from the. from the grime and RAP Community yeah in. in the UK interesting yeah you know.

that's such a good idea dude like to. take whatever your thing is and put it. into go to the space that's different. because then you're the different thing. it wasn't to to be honest it wasn't like. an idea it wasn't like a light bulb. moment where I was like but even when. you say it though it makes me think like. that's it really it's like there's no. way you can't help but stand out right. so like I think it has to happen. organically though cuz I feel like if. Jamal hadn't put me on his channel and. he put me on his channel the Sunday show. booked me for their comedy night I did. that and then whil at the comedy night. it's a very organic thing I think had I.

just turned up at the Sunday show they'd. be. like yeah and maybe it wouldn't have. gone the same way right oh that's a good. point that's a good point but yeah to. change up the environment that you're in. and really challenge yourself that's. pretty brave yeah I used to do some. black shows like predominantly black. shows in the states dude it was hard. sometimes but when you killed it you. killed it oh you killed it dude yeah and. people would stop but I bet it's either. like you kill it or you bomb there's no. in between there's no like all right.

shows and when you don't do good in. front of a black audience as a white guy. you feel the pain of hundreds of. [Laughter]. years you feel I mean my pain traveled. all the way back to England in a boat. and and then got off and exper his more. pain I was like how much pain is inside. of me dude I remember tear coming out of. like the inside of my throat and I was. like I didn't know I had tear ducks in.

my [ __ ] is that the worst that you. bumped um no I [ __ ] bomb pretty good. over the years Eddie I um yeah I've had. some bad ones I've had one where you. came out it was like a the battle of the. bands at a school you had to come out. between all the bands they didn't know. they just thought you had to come out in. the beginning they boo me off stage they. don't have to go out six more times dude. wow and every time it just I feel like. the my eyebrows SED interrupted but one. time the sh the I was so shocked one of.

my [ __ ] eyebrows fell out of my. head from um like it's called Uh so what. makes you appreciate it though I feel. like anyone that had success on stage. has had to have been booed have things. chucked at them have have moments where. the shock the trauma some girls like. something's on your shirt and it was my. [ __ ] eyebrow dude like. I was like oh [ __ ] that's Bast yeah so.

that kind of stuff to not be able to. protect your tear duct from the wind. just because you had a bad set dude. that's the kind of [ __ ] that people do. that we do not need to be going through. um yeah I think sometimes the tough. parts are. like sometimes I'll drift out of what. I'm actually doing when I'm on stage I. don't even know what it is it's not like. I'm day dream but but sometimes you'll. just I don't know I'll kind of go on. auto pilot not cuz I want to it just. sort of happens and you have to drop. back in you know I do that sometimes I.

did that I do it quite regularly on. perfect cuz it's just acoustic I'm not. having to think about what I'm doing. with with with my feet and occasionally. I just drop the second verse by accident. and I just kind of come to and I'm like. oh I've just just not sung the second. verse and the song's now like minute and. a half long but you do you get in a. there's certain things I'm sure there's. certain routines that you just know so. well that your mind just sort of wanders. yeah and then how do you make them feel. new and to surprise yourself to too you. know and I think it's good every now and. then to completely rip up the rule book. of what your performance is and just it.

as well yeah that's a good point um do. you uh do was being a father something. that really kind of CH like people talk. about it all the time that it does so. much for him was it as much of a. surprise for you it seemed like you had. a lot of love in your life with your. spouse so it wasn't like a yeah I think. it's you just you. selfishness ceases to exist I think. because suddenly all your decisions are. made based on I've got two daughters now. and it's made based on what's best for. them you know rather than what's best.

for me or what best for my wife and. that's sort of simplifies life in a way. because you you there's not as many. questions it's just like well what's. what's right for these guys and then. cool done um but yeah I think you know I. was a I was a real party boy like real. like I loved getting on it in all in all. aspect the gear I think I think probably. like 5 years ago me and you would have. had a lot of fun together yeah um but I. think having kids really really dialed. that down I sto I stopped drinking.

Spirits I stopped like smoking and doing. all all these you know having wild. nights like I I don't think I've seen. the sunrise since having kids but. obviously you're sober when you see the. sunrise with with kids but I don't you. know I go to bed at like midnight now. even if I'm having I I drink wine and I. drink like one or two beers um and. that's my vice I guess well you have to. be a proper parent you have you you have. to be a parent you have to be a leader. or whatever you have to or you have to. feed this when it wakes up yeah you know.

toally I think um it's like being in. college I bet with like a roommate that. can't cook or whatever and you're like. do you know do you know what I see it as. it's your drunk mate at college that you. need to get home from the bar and you're. feeding them bread constantly and water. it's kind of that and they sort of fall. asleep like it's kind of like that you. sort of waking them up to like feeding. bread and stuff like that and then. they're s falling asleep in their chair. it's kind of like that dude one time I. got in a taxi to leave a bar when I was.

in Charleston I used to live in. Charleston and I forgot to I guess I was. drunk I just passed out the guy drove. around dude he drove like $190 worth I. finally [ __ ] wake up dude he's just. driving. bro we were like still like about 12. minutes from my house so I get home I. owed him like $220 dude it took me like. two weeks to pay that guy Jesus God man. just things like that that I just miss. about sometimes just being wasted dude. or hiding out in somebody find you have.

better conversations now like if you're. having a conversation with your mate and. you're sober it's more like yeah I find. I don't waste time in [ __ ] like I'm. not out at one you know like in the we. out but [ __ ] doesn't get as weird either. you're not you know I feel like I I'm I. I say it in one of my songs but I feel. like past 2 a.m. it's like nothing's. happening you're like all sitting around. around a screen watching YouTube videos. and like chatting about the YouTube. videos whereas I think like I feel like.

my my friends call me the sparkler cuz I. shine bright for a very short period of. time so I'll go out at 8: and I'll be. home at 11:00 but in those 3 hours like. I'll have fun yeah oh that's a good guy. to be yeah I'm going to start working on. that I'm going to save up all my good. stuff for 8 to 11 8il 11: is a great. time as well and then you're in bed by. midnight I usually get up at like 5:00. a.m. at and anyway so you're like in bed. by midnight and then you're fresh is in. the morning you're a workout guy yeah I.

like to work out man it's fun nothing. too crazy but I do like it but like. every morning you'll do a bit of. exercise yeah four days a week I'll work. out cool pretty swell I like doing the. sauna yeah yeah ice bath and I like. doing the ice bath man I don't know if. they work or not but they tricked me. into believing they do for me it's less. I like I don't mind if they work or not. but it gets my core body temperature. down I'm a big sweater are you really. yeah yeah I sweat like if I'm on stage I. just drip drip just leaking H yeah well.

I think it's I think there's something. in the the Irish blood where I heat just. does not agree with me you know and uh. cuz you brought your own. heat of course the son would be like who. the [ __ ] is. this you know what I'm saying stepping. on my turf right. here but if I go in a sauna I'll usually. be sweating for like 3 4 hours after so. getting in an ice bath almost it's kind. of like uh C cauterizing a wound you. just it's done you know yeah I like dude.

Ireland was so I never had seen I did I. grew up in New Orleans right in that. area in Louisiana like Marty grow people. being drunk right I never say it's a. different thing of drunkenness it's just. in the it's like people we went into a. bar it's people in there there's no. furniture right just people holding each. other up I think drinking it's like you. can't even let the guy stop drink they. won't [ __ ] let dude I remember we're.

in the bar outside of the bar they built. another bar around the exitor you open. the exit to the bar you're in another. [ __ ] bar dude but drinking culture. here is different than um uh America. like we would like I found when I lived. in Nashville it was like sports bars you. go to a sports bar uh to watch a game to. drink and you would see people there on. their own drinking a huge VOD katonic. just like I'm here to get [ __ ] drunk. there's Irish bars on the motorway in. America I'm like who the [ __ ] is driving.

to an Irish. bar but so but here if I'm like for. instance I saw my best mate Nick. yesterday and I was like oh let's go out. for a couple of points and we would go. out we caught up and we had three pints. of beer and then that was it and that. it's our culture here is very much built. around I would you know I'm I'm. generalizing not not everyone loves. drinking but I would say like 80 % of. the people in England love a beer every. then or and you would go out and instead. of getting [ __ ] canned every time you go.

out you know like I would go to these. sports bars and it would basically be. like everyone in in the sports bar in. America would be going with the sole. purpose to be dribbly drunk by the end. of the night taken home in in an Uber. whereas in in England it's very much and. and Ireland and Scotland and Wales it's. a regular with my friendship group. anyway a regular um thing to have maybe. like one or two points at the end of a. workday and then maybe on a Friday. you'll have like six points and a bottle. of wine you'll go out and do the shots.

and and blah blah blah but it's far more. um just part of the culture to do it. regularly I think yeah it seems like. they wear it better here it's not Al. it's not alcoholism to drink every day. here whereas in America if you drunk. every day it'd be Al alcohol alcoholism. because i' obviously people take it too. far here as well but the general thing I. think is am I right in saying that Lads. like you would go out for a couple of. after this and it wouldn't be like I. think we we treat every event with beer. oh are you sad have a beer are you happy.

have a beer is it a wedding have a beer. is it a funeral have a beer yeah. everything it's not alcoholism it's the. culture just the culture it's not like I. wake up every morning and I'm like I. need a beer tonight it's like you get to. the end of the day and your mate will be. like Oh I'm in central London do you. want to go for a beer rather than like I. need a beer it just right yeah yeah. that's interesting dude because a lot. like by by the definition of alcoholism. I everybody can decides for thems if. they're an alcoholic that's one thing I.

know about that program like you have to. decide like there can be like the rules. that kind of help you decide but it's a. personal decision right but yeah people. would look at a lot of people in Ireland. and be like oh everybody everybody here. is an alcohol like nine out of 10 people. um even some people in comas or whatever. drinking you're like. that's new um but yeah but like but it's. not the same because it's part the. culture oh I agree I when you say that. it's like because I don't I I I actually.

don't like the uh the culture of like. people viewing Island as like an. alcoholic country it's like it's not it. they. they you know we can have a good time. but it's not like a yeah I don't know. it's the same same in in in England like. it's it's just the culture yeah I agree. but they're good German's the same it. surprises me how good good at it they. are I think that's what surprised me. just that like practice wow also we. drink from a very young age uh.

irresponsibly or responsibly but like I. had my first beer when I was like 12 13. and you learn how to um manage your. alcohol by the age of 16 you know if I. drink this many cans of strong bow I'm. probably going to throw up so I'll drink. this many cans of strong bow whereas I. think in America it's very much like 17. 18 19 maybe it's even just getting to. college for the first time where you're. then then finding out what your. boundaries are yeah France they start. drinking wine from like 5 oh God they.

give they give tiny glasses of wine to. their kids and it makes them respect. alcohol by I'd watch that online if they. had. that to be honest no judgment or or. anything and I don't know any of the. children but um and I wouldn't want to. know any of them but I would watch them. drink a little bit of wine dude and just. especially you can't you know do. anything bad to the screen whatever. there's a YouTube video I actually. wanted to do it for one of my songs. bloodstream was to have a video of. compilations of babies trying lemons SE.

this get up get up baby trying lemons. for the first time here we go this is so. [Laughter]. [Laughter]. good oh. wa he couldn't handle. it anyway we're good we're good we're.

good oh that's remarkable do you think. about like like what else you want to do. in life yeah or just like yeah do you. start thinking about like oh what's. something new you want to do getting to. do that movie thing sounded really cool. to me I'm going to segue into um I've. been doing probably for the last seven. years stuff with music in high schools. cuz the in my area so basically when I. in like 2017 2018 my old music teacher. came to me and he was like look the go.

the government is currently in charge do. not value art at all like Arts drama. music and they cut all the funding for. comprehensive oh my God so my music. teacher came to me and he was like look. we're going I think they had to share. like between art music and drama like. £700 per year like for all three. subjects so I started funding that at my. local high school and then you see a. like massive uptick in like kids doing. production kids doing songwriting kids. doing this so then I just started keep.

putting it I built a recording studio. there there's like loads of like proper. instruments that aren't aren't broken. and you just see the school getting. better at music so then I started doing. that in the county that I'm from and. we've just now changed it to do it. nationwide and I'm now visiting more. high schools and places uh that really. need music funding and you see what a. difference it makes to cuz I'm not I'm. not an academic person and in the real.

world I would be viewed as stupid but I. excelled at music and therefore people. think that I'm good at something and so. I found it massively helpful to be in a. state funded school that really. encouraged that and they've basically. cut funding in England for it so I'm. doing what I can to get funding for it. but I think getting the go the the the. new government will will be better at it. I think that's remarkable but the uh the.

thing that like that's kind of what I. want to segue into his music education. because it worked so well for me and I. know it can work so well for other kids. I'm kind of like proof that normal kids. can just pick up guitars work hard and. and and and do and our our country as. well like what we're famous for is our. art we're famous for music with the. Beatles we're famous for painting Damen. Hurst we're famous for movies youve got. like Danny ball coming out of here. Christopher Nolan and uh the government. is just putting importance on maths and.

Banking and you know we make arms but no. one is no one is proud that we make arms. and no one is proud that our banking is. really good but they are proud of our. art and so for a government to be like. the art doesn't matter like where do you. think the art is going to come from so I. think that that for me is the next part. of my career is getting a proper proper. proper funding and art music drama back. into schools and actually Ireland do a.

very good job of it irand are very very. Pro their Arts because they know that. that's their cultural currency you know. you two travel the world and they and. they see that banshees of in airin comes. out everyone goes to watch that movie. and um they the island are very very. good at recognizing that and funding. there's lots of uh Irish son of Pride. there too still because people travel. around the world as Irish superstars in. all aspects and they spread people are. like oh Ireland's awesome because so and. so comes from Ireland so and so comes.

from irand and it's the same in in in. England like British music there's a. Dell there's Harry Styles there's stormy. there's me there's like the musicians. travel the world and we people are like. oh that's that's a British musician or. that's a uh you know British Artist or a. British actor or actress and that's what. we as a country are proud of we're proud. of our football as well but in terms of. like art um and it's so weird that no. importance is being put on it it's not. even that importance isn't being put on. it it's like completely stripping the.

importance of it and just being like. this doesn't matter I'm sorry to get all. no but when you when you kill that in a. culture it's it's horrible man even like. you said like when you said earlier. about like going to that NBA game right. you don't realize till you sit there at. the front row or until you get close to. something how important it is how. important it is or what or you if you. could even be good at it like I remember. standup comedy I'd seen it like videos. people had like um DVDs would get past. around the neighborhood like Chris Rock. and stuff like that and I'm like oh this. is cool but until I was in college and.

actually went to a show not then until. that moment did it hit me like this is. what I could do that this is even a. thing that you could do like just seeing. it on a on a screen it just didn't it. didn't. really am I right to assume that in. school you will probably be like I don't. know what I want to do what am I good at. I'm not very good at history I'm not. very good at English I'm not very good. at this and then suddenly you find. comedy and you go. this is something that I can really. excel in and I think unless you give. kids that opportunity and and and also I.

feel like you can destroy a kid's. confidence at age 12 by just being like. yeah you're not very good at that and if. you give a kid I was given confidence by. my my music teacher by my dad by my. friends when I wasn't very good at all I. listened back to the music that I was. making when I was like 14 God my friends. were nice yeah I listen back and I go I. go [ __ ] hell my dad was not honest at. all cuz he was just like this is great. and my confidence was built and it's got. to a point where I then was like I'm.

going to release my first single and I'm. going to make a music video and then. that was the song that got successful. and had I been like oh I don't know what. people going to think about that I think. that's also like changing the culture of. that of like like I went up to uh. Sheffield um the other day to um do a. couple of school and and and music uh. course visits and they were amazing like. way better than I was at at at 14 and I. feel like all it takes is for someone to. be like you're really really good at. this and then they go oh well then I I. should carry it on yeah and um well.

having the equipment like you're saying. like putting that equipment in that. schools dude that's so cool because um. if you have a camera and you have a like. a podcast setup or something you can. record something you can see how it. looks the second you do that one step. now you're in a whole new per viw orever. and like now what's POS it's like but. until your first stand as well you do. your first show and you go right well. I've done one wasn't that good I'll go. and do it again I'll make it better and. then it just improves and you don't know.

what part of you wants to do until you. like it's almost like a metal detector. you're like a metal detector and until. you kind of go over that little whatever. that is in the in something inside you. kind of goes off you know well because. all you need to do that that's the thing. as well that I say to kids I'm like you. only need one thing that you're good at. you just find the one thing that you. enjoy that you're good at and you just. work really hard at that and then it. will work you go like the music industry. is if you want to work in the music. industry you can like I was uh the day.

that I made it in my mind was I was. gigging around gigging around not. getting paid I got booked for a wedding. and I played this wedding for like £200. and I remember getting that2 200 cash. and being like Oh my God this is half my. rent for playing a gig looks like we. made it exactly and in my mind then I. was like I could just play weddings for. the rest of my life and I'm fine I can. do music and it's about finding the you. know me getting 200 for playing covers. at a wedding isn't me playing Wembley. Stadium and making my albums and stuff.

like that so it's not necessarily the. dream but it is doing music as a career. so you can find if you said tomorrow. like right I want to be a chocolate. taster and I'm going to be the best. [ __ ] chocolate taster you could. potentially make that a career if you. just worked harder than other chocolate. tasers or gamer or I don't know. especially in the UK Willy Walker's from. here. he is right um they did you ever meet. him Willie Wonker.

uh no did I meet did Timo I think I. might have met Timothy shalam somebody. must have I'm sure crossed sure I'm sure. someone's met him eventually yeah [ __ ]. lucky that's the kind of people that you. some people you don't get to meet you. know some people that government hides. them um what about the queen or anything. can you text her or whatever well she's. dead well oh oh the new Queen oh is. there a new one didn't know they get a. new one sorry I didn't know and I'm.

sorry that she's deceased too I did not. know she died in. 2022 um oh yeah and then King Charles is. now the king I did like her Jubilee I. played her gig and there's an amazing. picture of her shaking my hand and. smiling oh and people are like oh she. was pleased to meet you and actually a. comedian had just told her a joke so it. looks like she's really happy to meet me. but she had no idea who I was at all but. the picture says a thousand words there. there you go yeah do the qu do the Royal.

people what are they do what is it. really like over there when you go over. there I don't think it's I don't envy it. at all I I wouldn't want to live that. lifestyle I I remember being in Japan. once for the Rugby World Cup and I met. one of them and he was like you know. he's six seven years older than me and. he was like this is my first time in. Japan and in my mind I'm like I would. have just assumed that you go everywhere. all the time but I think it's very much. like it's a working job they go and open.

hospitals open Care Centers go and do. this go and do this and it's it's uh I. wouldn't Envy the lifestyle at all I. think it's it is quite restrictive I. don't think you can just be like I'm. going to go do this I think like have. you seen the crown the show cuz like. even when they go on holiday they go on. holiday and they have to do like a press. shoot before the holiday and then people. just take photos of them for the whole. holiday cuz it's kind of like you allow. because you are funded by the public the. public own your life yeah it's got to. feel we are so it's not something that I.

would necessarily Envy it's something. that it's a big debate in this country. whether people agree with it or not I. personally like think it gives a certain. like grounding for the there's like a. historical aspect of it and when things. happen it's like Americans love seeing. the ceremony that's that's that's over. here like when the queen passed away the. the funeral is like very impressive and. it very much. um I don't know represents England for. the world you know England look at it.

yeah because I think England is. something there there're a lot of great. things it's like very proper and it's. like there's a lot of things that I. would not agree with as well I think it. is very like it's rigid almost it's a. very polarizing subject um but yeah but. I I definitely wouldn't Envy the. lifestyle oh yeah it seems like it would. be tough like you're such a and you have. to be a concierge to the your country. and you have to be such a repres restive. never talk about anything negative their. thing they say never complain never. explain so anything that happens they.

just right you're just a middleman yeah. you can't show any emotion like even at. like funerals and stuff like you not. meant to cry and stuff it's like really. quite hardcore. oh yeah gosh I remember my first funeral. dude not fun are they I was not good at. funerals no I was the wor I feel like. then needed mark it though I missed my. grandmother's funeral I was doing did. you know see that court case last year. that I was in you know about that I was.

in a court case last year and we she end. all my friends are criminals to be. honest with you she um she died at the. start of the court case and the and the. um funeral was like Midway through it CU. she had to be buried um and you couldn't. go I couldn't and I and still feel weird. about it that there was no marking of. the like you know seeing a coffin be put. into a grave and covered and I don't. know there's something in me that's like. even like visiting her grave now there's. not it still feels like an open book.

yeah open door I guess I think funerals. are important for the ceremony of like. marking it it's kind of like the first. day of grief as well cuz before you go. to a funeral there's like a weird month. or whatever where everything's like. really [ __ ] intense and grief. stricken and then kind of the funeral is. the day that you go now we start. processing it yeah yeah yeah it is kind. of wild dude dude does any of your music. get played at funerals too or not yeah. I've got a song that I wrote about my. grandmother called Supermarket flowers. which um is a popular funeral song If if.

that's like a thing to be proud of like. I've got a popular funeral song but yeah. it's such an important it's a song that. it's a it's a moment that people don't. think of that much that needs a song. kind of in a way maybe I don't know as a. songwriter maybe people do think about. specific moments that need songs but I. definitely do like I definitely know. what I would have at my funeral same as. I would have at my wedding you know you. know you know what what Tunes do you. want there's a a Irish folk song which.

is like always the final song that is. sung on a folk night which is called The. Parting Glass where it's like um the. poges or no no it's like traditional. it's like it's a of all the money that I. had I spent it in good compy and all the. harm that a I had done it was to none me. and it's basically like all of the. things I did um and all I've done for of.

to memory now I can't recall so fill to. me The Parting Glass good night and joy. be with you all it's basically the last. drink of the night this is uh I sort of. feel weird that I just sung on no but. there's a farewell but yeah it's a um. the last drink of the night and it's. basically everything that's happened. it's happened and let's have this final. drink and then get on with our lives and. I think that's quite a nice way to like. go out of this world of basically being.

like of all the of all the comrades that. ever I've had I uh I'm I'm sorry that. I'm going away you know like it's like a. it's just a message to people I like it. no man I appreciate you sharing that too. yeah it's nice it's nice man that you. from everyone that's ever spoken about. you I've heard you always seem like a. person that just shares the gift of who. you are with the world as clearly as you. know how to and navigate that the best. you can man so I appreciate you singing. that's nice dude and yeah and I. appreciate you spending time with me man. thanks for coming as well man I really.
