Yungblud | Club Random with Bill Maher

Bill Maher welcomes Yungblud (Dominic Harrison) for a no-rules conversation packed with wild tour stories, culture shocks, and rock-and-roll revelations. From growing up in a Doncaster guitar shop (while convinced Rod Stewart was his granddad) to near-arrests in Japan, tour bus rules, midnight truck stops, and crew parties that never end, Yungblood holds nothing back. They dive into pirate vs. cowboy style, why rock’s not dead (it just got a wardrobe change), and Yungblud'’s powerful farewell with Ozzy Osbourne just weeks before his passing. Along the way: a schoolteacher crush, Taylor Swift fandom, Japan’s infamous vending machines, and the big reveal of Bill’s stripper name.

There’s a whole big world out there that isn’t about politics and Bill and his guests—from Bill Burr and Jerry Seinfeld to Jordan Peterson, Quentin Tarantino and Neil DeGrasse Tyson—talk about all of it.

Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, “VICE.” In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher’s uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous.” Maher has written five bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That?

• 1:31Speaker 03

  Like my family. He was cool. He was just... Who he is. Yeah, everything I ever wanted to be.

• 1:40Speaker 03

  I'm sure you're getting close, Bill.

• 1:42Bill Maher?

  With this tattoo?

• 1:43Speaker 03

  Oh, this tattoo, yeah.

• 1:44Bill Maher?

  Oh, property of Ja Rule. Wait.

• 1:51Speaker 03

  Bill, man, how you doing? Did he arrive? I'm here, man. Sorry I'm late. It's all right, bro. How are you? I'm very well, man. Are you? Oh. Fucking epic. Thanks for having me. Oh, thanks for being here. This dress is great. I want one of these myself. I was gonna wear that. Oh, well, you chaps. I was gonna wear that.

• 2:12Bill Maher?

  This is as good as I can do.

• 2:13Speaker 03

  I like it, man. It's cool.

• 2:15Bill Maher?

  Thanks, Pro. Where are you from?

• 2:17Speaker 03

  I'm from Doncaster, England.

• 2:20Bill Maher?

  Why New England? Doncaster? I didn't know that one.

• 2:23Speaker 03

  No one knows. I always say Manchester to Americans.

• 2:26Bill Maher?

  It's Manchester area?

• 2:28Speaker 03

  It's not really. It's like an hour away, but.

• 2:30Bill Maher?

  You must be having a great fucking time. I gotta say, there's gotta be nothing better in life than being a rising rock star.

• 2:38Speaker 03

  Do you know what?

• 2:39Bill Maher?

  Because in 10 years, you'll be jaded.

• 2:42Speaker 03

  Really? Do you think I'll get jaded?

• 2:44Bill Maher?

  Everybody does.

• 2:45Speaker 03

  Really?

• 2:45Bill Maher?

  Yes. This is the golden hour. Like, you're not on everybody's radar yet.

• 2:54Speaker 03

  I'm smiling at the minute. I'm having a good time.

• 2:58Bill Maher?

  Yeah, I bet you fucking.

• 2:59Speaker 03

  I'm fucking taking it. It's like a rocket at the minute. Especially in America. You lot are crazy out here. You're loud and shit. I love it.

• 3:09Bill Maher?

  More than England?

• 3:10Speaker 03

  Yeah, fuck yeah.

• 3:11Bill Maher?

  Not more than London?

• 3:11Speaker 03

  It's a little bit different. Like, in London, it's a bit more jumpy. In America, it's really screaming, the gigs. Everyone's like.

• 3:19Bill Maher?

  But you live in London now, I bet.

• 3:21Speaker 03

  I live in London now.

• 3:22Bill Maher?

  See, of course. Everybody moves to London.

• 3:24Speaker 03

  I like London. Do you like London?

• 3:25Bill Maher?

  Well, of course, everybody likes London. I mean, you know, it's super expensive.

• 3:30Speaker 03

  Yeah, I don't leave Camden Town.

• 3:31Bill Maher?

  You're just living. And it's okay.

• 3:34Speaker 03

  I live in my happy bubble.

• 3:36Bill Maher?

  Exactly. Well, I mean, you have a giant.

• 3:39Speaker 03

  Cheers, man.

• 3:40Bill Maher?

  Great to see you. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Blood.

• 3:44Speaker 03

  Thank you, man.

• 3:46Bill Maher?

  Hey, how did you get that name? Because like, I always think that there's, you know, there's certain people who like have two names. Strippers.

• 3:56Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 3:57Bill Maher?

  The Pope.

• 3:57Speaker 03

  It's fair.

• 3:58Bill Maher?

  The Pope. I mean, the Pope has a stripper name. Pope's name is Bob, stripper name Leo.

• 4:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm telling you. What would your stripper name be?

• 4:06Bill Maher?

  Mine? Onyx.

• 4:08Speaker 03

  What?

• 4:09Bill Maher?

  I've always thought I would be a good Onyx. Now, I'd have to fight the other Onyx in the club for it.

• 4:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, I feel that.

• 4:15Bill Maher?

  Because I'm older, I'd probably, you know, be original Onyx.

• 4:18Speaker 03

  I like that. OG Onyx.

• 4:22Speaker 03

  Oh, Yonex.

• 4:23Bill Maher?

  You don't want that.

• 4:24Speaker 03

  I love that, man. Shaking that thing.

• 4:27Bill Maher?

  But like, Youngblood's a great name.

• 4:29Speaker 03

  It's a good, do you know what, I didn't come up with it myself, which is sad, but I remember I had a, I had an older manager.

• 4:40Speaker 03

  And I thought, I was just like, I can't call myself, my name's Dominic Harrison and that sounds too polite.

• 4:47Bill Maher?

  It sounds like a barrister.

• 4:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's what I'm saying, it does sound like a lawyer, doesn't it?

• 4:51Bill Maher?

  Well, do they still wear those wigs?

• 4:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, they do. I think if you're a barrister, right, you work so hard to get the wig. It's like what you fucking put on your, it's what you put on your wall, man.

• 5:03Bill Maher?

  I, I mean, maybe this is just because I'm an American, but I feel like if I was on trial in England and they brought me into the courtroom and I saw the dude with the wig, I would, it'd be hard not to LOL.

• 5:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 5:13Bill Maher?

  I'd just be like.

• 5:14Speaker 03

  But you'd be shitting yourself because you're facing fucking five years in prison or something, you know?

• 5:19Bill Maher?

  I mean, that, you gotta say, you got something for sticking with a tradition.

• 5:23Speaker 03

  Do you know what, I think the wigs are gangster. I like the wigs. Well, that's because I'm English, innit? I'm being conditioned that way.

• 5:29Bill Maher?

  Yeah. No, I'm just saying, there's something to be said and probably something to be said against, like, sticking with some shit just because we've already, already, always done it.

• 5:40Speaker 03

  I was just in Japan yesterday.

• 5:43Bill Maher?

  Yesterday?

• 5:43Speaker 03

  Yesterday, yeah, I've just landed from Japan.

• 5:46Bill Maher?

  Wow. Well, I really appreciate you.

• 5:48Speaker 03

  No, thank you for having, thank you for having me.

• 5:50Bill Maher?

  And you're not jet lagged?

• 5:51Speaker 03

  I'm, I'm, I'm not really sleeping at the minute. I'm just kind of getting it when I can.

• 5:57Bill Maher?

  When you're 28, you can do that.

• 5:59Speaker 03

  Yeah, just like, keep going. Because we're in Japan and I've not slept in three days.

• 6:03Bill Maher?

  That can be a kind of a high.

• 6:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 6:05Bill Maher?

  Keith Richards used to do it on purpose.

• 6:07Speaker 03

  No, I'm vibing. I honestly, because the first night I got there, I was lying in bed anxious. So the next three nights, I thought, instead of being in bed anxious, let's just stay out. And um, and we, and we went out in Japan and it honestly, your fucking carpet don't look the same when you come back from Japan.

• 6:25Bill Maher?

  Why? What do you mean?

• 6:27Speaker 03

  Just mad, isn't it? Just like three, like fucking total one eighty. I love it.

• 6:31Bill Maher?

  What is Japan like? I don't know. You're in Tokyo?

• 6:33Speaker 03

  Extremely, extremely respectful, yet after dark, the craziest fucking place you've ever been to.

• 6:40Bill Maher?

  Well, respectful, but there is a lot of groping on the subway.

• 6:45Speaker 03

  It's that's fucking weird. Yeah. Do you know what? I don't.

• 6:47Bill Maher?

  They do.

• 6:48Speaker 03

  Honestly, like, uh, it's, it's, it's, it's a bit fucking weird that, isn't it?

• 6:53Bill Maher?

  Well, they also sell used panties.

• 6:55Speaker 03

  They do.

• 6:56Bill Maher?

  In the, in the vending.

• 6:57Speaker 03

  I went in a vending machine. I went to a.

• 6:59Bill Maher?

  Am I lying?

• 7:00Speaker 03

  I went to a.

• 7:01Bill Maher?

  No.

• 7:01Speaker 03

  I went to a par, I went to a bar the other night and we were like, it was like an arcade bar and it was fucking great. But I, I thought I was a myth and then my mate said, get a load of this. It's like used knickers in a vending machine.

• 7:15Bill Maher?

  Did you get some?

• 7:16Speaker 03

  No, I didn't bother, but my mate did. My mate tried for like two hours. I was like, and then we pulled them out and then they weren't really used. It was a scam.

• 7:24Bill Maher?

  I was, I was guessing.

• 7:25Speaker 03

  Bullshit. They can't sell it. You're not really gonna do that.

• 7:28Bill Maher?

  If you're gonna, if you're gonna say they're used, sell used, I find that just disgusting.

• 7:32Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 7:33Bill Maher?

  I mean, and, and you know.

• 7:34Speaker 03

  They weren't really used. It was bollocks.

• 7:37Bill Maher?

  And how would you tell if they were used?

• 7:39Speaker 03

  Probably smelling them.

• 7:40Bill Maher?

  You'd be an order, yeah. I mean, cause that's really what they're going for anyway, right?

• 7:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 7:44Bill Maher?

  I mean, anyone can go to, I can go to fucking CBS and buy panties.

• 7:47Speaker 03

  Exactly.

• 7:48Bill Maher?

  Like I did yesterday.

• 7:49Speaker 03

  But my mate smelled them and he said, no, they smell clean as a whistle. So.

• 7:53Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 7:53Speaker 03

  They were like vibing.

• 7:55Bill Maher?

  Boy, you think you have respect for a country. You find out a thing like that.

• 8:00Speaker 03

  But then, but then the food's beautiful, isn't it? And the people are fucking legendary.

• 8:04Bill Maher?

  What, what are the people like? I mean, they're.

• 8:06Speaker 03

  Do you know what? It's so fun because.

• 8:09Bill Maher?

  They're reserved.

• 8:10Speaker 03

  They're reserved. So, so you walk up to stage and normally like in the UK or here, when you walk into the arena, it's like.

• 8:17Bill Maher?

  Of course.

• 8:19Speaker 03

  It's fucking dead silent. And there's like a stadium of people outs, outside and I'm like, is there anyone there? Like, yeah, it's rammed. And then they do this thing in between, um, in between songs where they go like, yeah. And they just fucking drop the applause. So you're kind of like, whoa, and it's like completely silent, so you feel awkward. But it's not awkward at all, it's actually really beautiful. But we nearly got arrested there last time, because after Covid. I remember we were, we were on stage. And this guy goes on this radio, before he went on, and starts talking and starts going.

• 9:00Speaker 03

  What, I'm really worried about this next act. Because there was a ban on mosh pitting and screaming at concerts after Covid. Extremely weird, because obviously, what, you're obviously gonna scream at a concert, but not in Japan apparently. But this guy goes on stage and he goes, I'm extremely worried about this next performer. Because, um, I've seen his live shows, whatever you do, remember, do not mosh or scream or jump. Watch the show. Now I'm backstage, and he's all, he's speaking in fucking Japanese, so I'm saying, I'm saying to the lads, I'm going. Yo, we better, we better fucking nail this, he's giving us a two and a half minute talk.

• 9:45Speaker 03

  He's probably saying like, this guy's from England, he's gonna blow your fucking mind. Get ready to jump and get ready to go fucking crazy. And that's what I think he's saying, but what he's saying is, do not do anything, so I run out, I'm going. Fucking Tokyo, you motherfuckers, ah! And, and, and the front row, I can see it on the face, they're kind of just like. Like, really juxtaposed, because they've been told not to, but you know when you tell a kid not to fucking. Fucking take a piss on the lawn. You wanna take piss on the lawn, don't you, so like, when you do it, you're like, fucking yes, I'm taking a piss on the lawn. And then, and then they went extra crazy. And I got off stage and there were police waiting for us.

• 10:29Speaker 03

  And I'm like, what, what's going on, and they're like, we, we told you that you're not allowed to do that, I was like, I don't speak Japanese.

• 10:35Bill Maher?

  Well, like I said, cultures are different.

• 10:37Speaker 03

  Telling you, cultures are... It was fun. And they were like, because they were proper naughty. And they knew they would be naughty, so they went crazy.

• 10:44Bill Maher?

  I gotta tell you, this thing with Japan goes back all the way to the Beatles. When the Beatles played Japan, they had the exact same reaction you just said. They were like, whoa, everywhere in the world, except France, the only country that didn't go for the Beatles. Everywhere in the world.

• 11:02Speaker 03

  France is a funny one, man.

• 11:04Bill Maher?

  It's a funny one. Have you played there?

• 11:05Speaker 03

  They love us in France, but it's always hit or miss. Honestly, I remember going to my French label once, and they were like, so there is two things. They will either love you or not. And I'm like, oh shit. And they're like, so today you go on TV, we see. I'm like, fucking hell, no pressure. First time went to France, they were just like, you're either gonna be loved here or not.

• 11:28Bill Maher?

  Yeah, I, I, you look like somebody they would like.

• 11:31Speaker 03

  I, I think it's the makeup.

• 11:35Bill Maher?

  You mean the makeup of your personality?

• 11:36Speaker 03

  No, the eye liner.

• 11:37Bill Maher?

  Oh, your actual makeup.

• 11:39Speaker 03

  The actual makeup, man.

• 11:40Bill Maher?

  The actual makeup, yes.

• 11:41Speaker 03

  I love the French as well. Do you know why I love the French? Because they're straight up. Honestly, I love Paris because everyone's rude. I love rude people, because they're not lying. There's nothing worse than a liar.

• 11:51Bill Maher?

  You know what? I have been called that kind of person.

• 11:54Speaker 03

  Hundred percent.

• 11:55Bill Maher?

  Because I, because I am.

• 11:56Speaker 03

  I've seen it. I've seen. I've been watching these. I was like, we'll see what happens on this.

• 12:00Bill Maher?

  And I'm not rude, I'm just honest. And yes, when you're honest, people don't like it.

• 12:04Speaker 03

  That's right. And I agree. It's so funny. It's like, can I go, can I have a cappuccino? No. All right, fuck. Okay. All right, I'll get a fucking Americano. No. Could I get a fucking tea? No.

• 12:18Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 12:18Speaker 03

  What can I get then?

• 12:20Bill Maher?

  You're right.

• 12:21Speaker 03

  I like that. I like that.

• 12:22Bill Maher?

  There's no bullshit. There's no small talk. There's no... I mean, I've been in countries, I won't tell you which ones, but

• 12:32Bill Maher?

  where there's sort of a passive-aggressive...

• 12:36Speaker 03

  Element.

• 12:37Bill Maher?

  To, yes, the the the native population really doesn't like coming there.

• 12:43Speaker 03

  Alright, really fair.

• 12:44Bill Maher?

  And and so there you I mean, the people are actually lovely people, but you can also find a kind of a passive aggressive. You know, you get into a cab and ask how far it is to go to the, you know, whatever. And they give you one number and when you get there, it's three times as much.

• 13:01Speaker 03

  Oh, really?

• 13:01Bill Maher?

  You're like, wait a second.

• 13:03Speaker 03

  You can't say anything, yeah.

• 13:04Bill Maher?

  And they're like, oh, no, you must, okay, do whatever you want. You must have misunderstood. You know, it's a very passive aggressive.

• 13:11Speaker 03

  Fuck, I don't know.

• 13:11Bill Maher?

  I'm just saying I've had that.

• 13:12Speaker 03

  I've never experienced that. Again, I think except where I make up. I think I'm a bit more, I must be a bit more friendly.

• 13:20Bill Maher?

  And when you do, I mean, you're obviously, you know, I always think people are just very often born a certain thing. And it's like there's a look like agents have and you look, you look at a guy and he's like, that guy's an agent. I just know he is. And you're like, you're a rock star. Like, it was just, you're just like, you were, look like you were born to the manner. You, there was, I'm guessing you never really considered anything else.

• 13:48Speaker 03

  No, fuck me.

• 13:48Bill Maher?

  You certainly never studied.

• 13:50Speaker 03

  I was, you know what, I love history, though. I wanted to be a mate, if this didn't work out, I want to be an archaeologist.

• 13:56Bill Maher?

  An archaeologist?

• 13:58Speaker 03

  I loved the Romans and shit.

• 13:59Bill Maher?

  I do, too.

• 14:00Speaker 03

  And the Greeks and I just.

• 14:01Bill Maher?

  Have you studied them?

• 14:03Speaker 03

  I I mean, in school I did, and then I loved World War One and World War Two.

• 14:07Bill Maher?

  So you skipped everything between the Romans and World War?

• 14:10Speaker 03

  Yeah, everything else is boring to me. I think I like some shit.

• 14:13Bill Maher?

  I could, I could bore you to death, but it would be really interesting about the Middle Ages. You'd like the Middle Ages.

• 14:18Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 14:19Bill Maher?

  Talk about people being honest.

• 14:20Speaker 03

  Yeah, fuck, you know, I'm telling you.

• 14:24Speaker 03

  I like that vibe as well. And and if, yeah, it was music or history. And I'll never forget my history teacher. She was gorgeous. I used to fancy my history teacher. It might have been because she was really beautiful that I fell in love with history. But I always used to fancy my history teacher. And I remember telling her, I'm leaving school to go and start a rock band.

• 14:46Bill Maher?

  How old were you?

• 14:47Speaker 03

  Fifteen.

• 14:48Bill Maher?

  Fifteen.

• 14:48Speaker 03

  And she was pissed. She was like, why? You're gonna throw your life away. You could be a historian.

• 14:56Bill Maher?

  See, if this was Florida, she just would have fucked you. Because that's what we do here in America.

• 15:00Speaker 03

  Fuck, man, I wish I would have lived in Florida. Honestly, I proper fancied, I thought she was gorgeous. Apple's the teacher, very English.

• 15:09Bill Maher?

  Does that ever happen in England?

• 15:11Speaker 03

  No, I mean, it does.

• 15:13Bill Maher?

  Happens a lot here.

• 15:13Speaker 03

  You don't get away with it in England, it's a very, very...

• 15:16Bill Maher?

  Well, you don't get away with it here. But it does happen quite a bit where a... I'm talking about female teachers.

• 15:25Speaker 03

  Yeah, go on.

• 15:26Bill Maher?

  Who are like mid twenties. And they fuck, there's one in the news today, an eleven year old.

• 15:32Speaker 03

  Oh, no, that's fucked up, man.

• 15:34Bill Maher?

  And she said...

• 15:35Speaker 03

  That's fucked up.

• 15:35Bill Maher?

  I swear to God.

• 15:36Speaker 03

  Nah, I hate that, it makes me mad.

• 15:38Bill Maher?

  Okay, well...

• 15:39Speaker 03

  It makes me angry. Don't fucking carry on with that shit.

• 15:43Bill Maher?

  Don't turn this into Tokyo, come on. But I swear to God, she said, he came on to me.

• 15:50Speaker 03

  Nah, fuck that bullshit.

• 15:52Bill Maher?

  I know, but you gotta just give it up for an eleven year old.

• 15:55Speaker 03

  Fucking mental, no way.

• 15:56Bill Maher?

  Having game.

• 15:57Speaker 03

  No, yeah, I mean...

• 15:58Bill Maher?

  I mean, okay, so eleven is too young, but...

• 16:02Speaker 03

  Hundred percent by like ten years.

• 16:05Bill Maher?

  Your teachers never hit on you like that?

• 16:07Speaker 03

  No, no, no, she... I don't know, I fancied her. That's all I knew. You know what I mean, I was like, fucking out. But then maybe it's because she's a teacher. I wrote her a song when I left school.

• 16:19Bill Maher?

  Oh my God, and what was the upshot?

• 16:21Speaker 03

  Fuck off.

• 16:22Bill Maher?

  Did she respond?

• 16:23Speaker 03

  She didn't say nish.

• 16:24Bill Maher?

  Really?

• 16:24Speaker 03

  Nothing.

• 16:25Bill Maher?

  Maybe the song wasn't good.

• 16:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, I agree.

• 16:27Bill Maher?

  I mean, you're fifteen.

• 16:28Speaker 03

  I'm telling you, I think the song was shit.

• 16:29Bill Maher?

  What was this song, do you remember it?

• 16:31Speaker 03

  I haven't got a clue.

• 16:32Bill Maher?

  You don't remember it at all?

• 16:33Speaker 03

  Ah, goodbye, ah, thank you, I love you. It's probably pretty fucking creepy, to be honest.

• 16:40Bill Maher?

  Do you know the song To Sir With Love?

• 16:42Speaker 03

  No, who's that?

• 16:42Bill Maher?

  You'd love it and you should sing it.

• 16:44Speaker 03

  What song is it?

• 16:45Bill Maher?

  It was a song in the six, there was a movie called To Sir With Love with Sidney Poitier. Do you know who that is?

• 16:50Speaker 03

  No, I don't.

• 16:51Bill Maher?

  He was the first African American, uh, I think he was from the islands originally, but he was a gorgeous black man who was like the first black movie star.

• 17:02Speaker 03

  Sick.

• 17:03Bill Maher?

  In the sixties, you know, when Ra- Race was in a very different place here in America.

• 17:08Speaker 03

  Completely, a hundred percent.

• 17:09Bill Maher?

  But he was still, he made a famous movie called Guess Who's Coming to Dinner in nineteen sixty-seven, where the white girl falls for him and takes him home and it's like, guess who's coming to dinner? It's like, oh my gosh.

• 17:20Speaker 03

  Wow, in sixty-seven.

• 17:21Bill Maher?

  That was, and that was very controversial, but handled very deftly. And he did this movie called To Sir With Love, took place in England and he was a teacher there. And then, you know, he, you know, they obviously at the beginning, there's racism and the kids, what is this? This is in the sixties when there was no black people in London, as opposed to today, where it's mostly a multi-racial city.

• 17:49Bill Maher?

  And, and the girl, the white girl, you know, has a huge crush on him and, and sings this song, which was a big hit by Lulu and it's still one of my favorites.

• 18:00Speaker 03

  I love Lulu, man.

• 18:01Bill Maher?

  You know who that is?

• 18:01Speaker 03

  Yeah, fucking met, do you know I met Lulu at the Royal Albert Hall watching The Who?

• 18:07Bill Maher?

  She must be eighty.

• 18:08Speaker 03

  Yeah, she was hot still. I thought she was really cute.

• 18:11Bill Maher?

  Wow.

• 18:11Speaker 03

  She's like, I'm Lulu. I'm like, you're fucking Lulu?

• 18:14Bill Maher?

  Well, that's her big song.

• 18:15Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 18:16Bill Maher?

  To Sir With Love.

• 18:17Speaker 03

  Oh, that's Lulu? Alright, cool.

• 18:20Bill Maher?

  And it's a, those girl.

• 18:22Speaker 03

  Cause Lulu's Scottish, isn't she?

• 18:24Bill Maher?

  She might be. She married a Bee Gees.

• 18:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think she's Scottish. But I remember seeing her at the Albert Hall and she was, I'm Lulu. I'm like, you're Lulu, fucking hell. Yeah, I love that vibe.

• 18:35Bill Maher?

  And she, you know, the song is so beautiful. Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are gone. And she's singing to this, you know, how can I thank someone who has taken me from crayons to perfume?

• 18:48Speaker 03

  Oh, wow, beautiful line.

• 18:50Bill Maher?

  Oh, I, the whole thing is, and it's a great song, and it's a song for someone who can really sing.

• 18:54Speaker 03

  Oh my god, that's badass. What's it called? I'm gonna write it down.

• 18:57Bill Maher?

  Too Sir With Love.

• 18:59Speaker 03

  Too Sir With Love.

• 19:00Bill Maher?

  And sing the movie, because it takes place in your neck of the woods.

• 19:03Speaker 03

  Too Sir With Love. I'm in it. I've written it down in me notes, I swear.

• 19:08Bill Maher?

  No, I, I'm very dis-

• 19:10Speaker 03

  I'm not gonna bullshit, I told you.

• 19:11Bill Maher?

  I'm very disappointed if you don't sing this song.

• 19:13Speaker 03

  Next time I see you, I'll be singing it to you.

• 19:15Bill Maher?

  And even if you don't put it out commercially, just you're in the studio, make it and send it to me.

• 19:19Speaker 03

  Alright, cool, I'll do it for Christmas.

• 19:20Bill Maher?

  I mean, what, thank you.

• 19:22Speaker 03

  A little bow on it.

• 19:23Bill Maher?

  Because I have her version and then Al Green. You know who Al Green is?

• 19:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, I know who Al Green is, yeah.

• 19:29Bill Maher?

  He did a version.

• 19:30Speaker 03

  Oh, did he?

• 19:30Bill Maher?

  Yes, an R and B version, that's awesome.

• 19:34Speaker 03

  I love that, man.

• 19:35Bill Maher?

  So you know some of those old cats?

• 19:38Speaker 03

  I mean, my vibe was like, I grew up on, cause me, me old man and me granddad had a guitar shop. So I grew up in a guitar shop. So I grew up on all like Screaming Jay Hawkins and Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley.

• 19:52Bill Maher?

  Oh, the old blues stuff.

• 19:53Speaker 03

  The old blues stuff, and then like into the Stooges and the Stones and Bowie and shit. That's what I grew up on. And then like a lot of Britpop.

• 20:02Bill Maher?

  I mean, I have no use for that old blues stuff, quite frankly, but I'm sure it's wonderful music, but I love what other generations did with it, quite frankly. I mean, they, you know, they just made it more commercial.

• 20:15Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 20:15Bill Maher?

  I mean, Eric Clapton.

• 20:17Speaker 03

  Sick.

• 20:18Bill Maher?

  And the, and the Stones.

• 20:19Speaker 03

  Hundred percent.

• 20:20Bill Maher?

  Were totally raised on that, and that, that's what they were doing.

• 20:23Speaker 03

  That's what I love about the Stones, when they were like, we've got to bring Muddy on TV. Cause they won't let Muddy on TV. Did you hear about that? First time they went on TV, they were like, we've got to bring Muddy on TV. Oh, we're not doing it. How sick is that? That's gangster, that is sick as fuck.

• 20:39Bill Maher?

  No, they, they, all those British bands who borrowed so generously from America and our roots, and especially the black artists, were very cognizant of trying to pay it back. I mean Keith Richards did that whole special with Chuck Berry.

• 20:59Speaker 03

  Yeah, I mean, that's so funny. That's fucking hilarious. When Chuck, when he's like playing it wrong and Chuck's getting mad at him and Keith's like, "What are you fucking mean, man?" "I can't fucking do it."

• 21:09Bill Maher?

  Chuck Berry, God bless him, being always Chuck Berry, his attitude wasn't like, "Thank you so much."

• 21:16Speaker 03

  No, it was spanking Keith Richards, it was epic.

• 21:19Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 21:20Speaker 03

  And Keith was like taking it like, "Yeah, man, what the fuck, that's Chuck Berry."

• 21:24Bill Maher?

  It was an early version of what I'm sure is a very legitimate thing that black folks feel, what they call now white saviorism, you know, like, "Don't think you're my fucking savior."

• 21:35Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 21:36Bill Maher?

  And that, and so I think it, it smelled like that to Chuck Berry.

• 21:40Speaker 03

  Hundred percent.

• 21:41Bill Maher?

  Even though Keith Richard, it was, he had his heart.

• 21:43Speaker 03

  But I think Keith was coming at it from like a fan perspective, like.

• 21:46Bill Maher?

  And a, and a wonderful, beautiful perspective of, "Yes, I want to acknowledge that we didn't invent this." "We are standing on the shoulders of you guys." And Chuck was like, "Fuck you." "Fuck you, when is my call time over and where is my money in cash?"

• 22:08Speaker 03

  Exactly, get out of me, fucking, get off my stage.

• 22:10Bill Maher?

  "Thank you, Whitey," and I just love that.

• 22:13Speaker 03

  But I'm telling you, Keith was fully just like, "Yeah, man, I love you, I fucking love you, man."

• 22:17Bill Maher?

  I love when people are just exactly saying what they think.

• 22:20Speaker 03

  I agree, and tight back, that's why I love the French.

• 22:23Bill Maher?

  You know, let's just, yeah.

• 22:25Speaker 03

  Tight back, that's why I love the fucking French.

• 22:27Bill Maher?

  Let's not waste time.

• 22:29Speaker 03

  I agree.

• 22:29Bill Maher?

  Too much of, too much of life is lateral movement.

• 22:33Speaker 03

  I completely agree with you.

• 22:35Bill Maher?

  Whenever you're doing small talk or saving feelings, which sometimes is certainly appropriate, but for, for just everything, you're just moving laterally, whereas I like to move forward.

• 22:46Speaker 03

  I agree, the thing about it is, I think, say what, like, no matter what, even if you don't agree with people, say what you think and you'll probably have a better time, even if like you have a disagreement at a party or you don't fucking. Politically understand someone or you don't, whatever. I just think like, the way you move forward together is you debate out and you're honest. And I think like, ah, I respect that, or I think you, I think you're talking shit. You know what I mean? I like that vibe. Do you like tequila?

• 23:15Bill Maher?

  I'm drinking it.

• 23:16Speaker 03

  I fucking hate tequila, mate. I'm trying. I fucking hate it.

• 23:19Bill Maher?

  Well then, don't drink it.

• 23:20Speaker 03

  No, I agree. I agree with you.

• 23:22Bill Maher?

  Fifty other kinds of liquor.

• 23:23Speaker 03

  No, I agree with you.

• 23:24Bill Maher?

  What do you drink?

• 23:24Speaker 03

  I used to drink beer, but I, I, I, I kinda got rid of me tits. You know what I mean? I started boxing. Like, I was, I used to be a bit chunkier. So now I've switched to vodka.

• 23:37Bill Maher?

  No, you look very, um, well, yeah, in good, like androgynous Bowie, of course.

• 23:45Speaker 03

  Thin white duke, man.

• 23:46Bill Maher?

  Thin white jew.

• 23:47Speaker 03

  Do you wanna have that thin white duke era?

• 23:48Bill Maher?

  Jew.

• 23:49Speaker 03

  Duke, duke.

• 23:50Bill Maher?

  Oh, duke.

• 23:51Speaker 03

  D U K E.

• 23:55Speaker 03

  I love it. No, thin white duke. D U K E.

• 24:00Bill Maher?

  Thin white duke, one of his great characters.

• 24:02Speaker 03

  Epic, man. Do you know he lived on green peppers and cocaine and milk to be the thin white duke?

• 24:07Bill Maher?

  Well, not his whole life, I'm sure.

• 24:09Speaker 03

  No, for like a year.

• 24:10Bill Maher?

  Oh, for a year.

• 24:11Speaker 03

  In Berlin.

• 24:12Bill Maher?

  Green?

• 24:12Speaker 03

  Just to try it out.

• 24:14Bill Maher?

  He lived in Berlin?

• 24:15Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 24:15Bill Maher?

  Yeah, oh, yeah. I think I'm.

• 24:17Speaker 03

  And he took Iggy there, and I think he took Lou Reed there, Transformer. I think. I don't know about Lou, but I definitely know about Iggy.

• 24:25Bill Maher?

  Iggy has got to stop performing with his shirt off.

• 24:29Speaker 03

  I like Iggy, man. I saw him in London two weeks ago.

• 24:31Bill Maher?

  But there's a, but you know, there is an expiration date on everything.

• 24:35Speaker 03

  No, I think it's kinda some Richard, like Richard the Third shit. Like Shakespeare, kind of like, I think that's kind of what he's going for.

• 24:44Bill Maher?

  I know. Richard the Third performed with his shirt off?

• 24:46Speaker 03

  No, man, like the kind of scoliosis and the fucking like, the beauty and the ugly kind of vibe.

• 24:53Bill Maher?

  Well, beauty and the ugly, okay, if that's what we're.

• 24:56Speaker 03

  So you call that Iggy? I'm wearing his pants right now. You wanna see? I'm not gonna take me pants off. I'm just gonna show you. Look. So these got made in the, in the, I don't know when, but they say Iggy in them. Look. Cromartie's made these pants. Look. Iggy.

• 25:11Bill Maher?

  And your boyfriend's name is Calvin Klein?

• 25:13Speaker 03

  Fuck you. Fuck off.

• 25:16Bill Maher?

  And wait, and wait, what's this?

• 25:18Speaker 03

  What, you're getting close?

• 25:19Bill Maher?

  This tat- wait, this tattoo?

• 25:21Speaker 03

  Oh, this tat- who are you?

• 25:22Bill Maher?

  Oh, property of Ja Rule. Wait.

• 25:24Speaker 03

  Sure, you fuck. You're funny, I like you. You're funny as fuck, I'm telling you. We're gonna get on.

• 25:31Bill Maher?

  Well, that's the first time we've had someone drop tra-

• 25:34Speaker 03

  I'm not dropping shit, I'm just showing you my fucking pants.

• 25:37Bill Maher?

  I've had one guest who did the show like this. I mean, we have some interesting things that happen here.

• 25:43Speaker 03

  I was just saying, we brought up Biggie, so I've got his pants on.

• 25:45Bill Maher?

  So where do you get those pants?

• 25:46Speaker 03

  Chrome Hearts. You know Chrome Hearts?

• 25:49Bill Maher?

  Is there a rock star store, like, there's-

• 25:51Speaker 03

  So basically, like, yeah, I think it's this company's the rock star store.

• 25:55Bill Maher?

  Where- and that's in England?

• 25:56Speaker 03

  No, it's handmade in America.

• 26:01Speaker 03

  Yeah! Because the best thing about rock stars is I've learned two things at meeting all the older rock stars. You pick two avenues, and that is pirate or cowboy.

• 26:13Bill Maher?

  Interesting.

• 26:14Speaker 03

  And I picked cowboy.

• 26:15Bill Maher?

  Oh, I was gonna say pirate, but-

• 26:17Speaker 03

  Fuck off, what do you mean a pirate?

• 26:18Bill Maher?

  Well, I mean, I make up, like, that's certainly piraty.

• 26:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, fair, that is kinda pirate, but like chaps-

• 26:25Bill Maher?

  This is piraty.

• 26:27Speaker 03

  Chaps, no, it's chapsy, chaps.

• 26:29Bill Maher?

  Okay, pirates might wear this, cowboys don't.

• 26:33Speaker 03

  Oh, really, no?

• 26:34Bill Maher?

  I mean, leather, yes, you needed chaps.

• 26:36Speaker 03

  Alright, fair, so I'm a bit of a mix of both?

• 26:39Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 26:39Speaker 03

  I'm the hybrid.

• 26:40Bill Maher?

  Which I think is better.

• 26:41Speaker 03

  I'm into that vibe, yeah. Fair, I'll take that.

• 26:43Bill Maher?

  A pirate cowboy?

• 26:44Speaker 03

  There's no, I've been owning the cowboy vibe, but I'm into pirate cowboy.

• 26:48Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 26:48Speaker 03

  I'll take that.

• 26:48Bill Maher?

  Well, what they have in common is that pirates and cowboys are, of course, both sort of bad boys.

• 26:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, they're on the run. They're on the run.

• 26:58Bill Maher?

  And they're making their own rules.

• 26:59Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 27:00Bill Maher?

  You know? But, you know, it's not like the cowboys didn't have to get the cows to market.

• 27:06Speaker 03

  No.

• 27:06Bill Maher?

  I mean, they had a job.

• 27:08Speaker 03

  I'm having fun, mate. I'm telling you, can I just stop with that? I'm having fun. I'm having a lot of fun here.

• 27:12Bill Maher?

  It's what we do here.

• 27:13Speaker 03

  I'm telling you, I'm just like this fuck, and I just come from Japan, and I'm like, I'm having fun.

• 27:17Bill Maher?

  Good. I want you to have fun. I- no guest here doesn't. It's impossible, I won't let it happen.

• 27:23Speaker 03

  I can tell, this man cave's incredible.

• 27:25Bill Maher?

  Well, you know, it's like-

• 27:28Speaker 03

  Like, why the fuck are we? I love it.

• 27:30Bill Maher?

  Yeah, I do too.

• 27:31Speaker 03

  We could be in any era.

• 27:32Bill Maher?

  We could be.

• 27:34Speaker 03

  You know what I mean?

• 27:35Bill Maher?

  You're right.

• 27:35Speaker 03

  It almost feels futuristic, but it could be the sixties.

• 27:40Speaker 03

  Do you know what I mean? That's what I like about this room.

• 27:43Bill Maher?

  Yes. Yeah, no, sometimes places just have a aura to them. And I'm not one of those touchy feely guys. I'm not, I'm an atheist. You know, I don't believe in religion.

• 27:55Speaker 03

  Fair.

• 27:56Bill Maher?

  You, why, you same thing?

• 27:57Speaker 03

  I, I, you know, I don't know, man, because I was baptized.

• 28:00Bill Maher?

  I don't, well, so was I, but.

• 28:01Speaker 03

  I was baptized as a kid.

• 28:03Bill Maher?

  A kid, an infant?

• 28:05Speaker 03

  Yeah, like fucking thirteen.

• 28:07Bill Maher?

  So you had no say in it?

• 28:08Speaker 03

  I don't know, man. For me, like, my vibe is, sometimes, like, I can't explain magic. Especially being in a rock, rock and roll band. The amount of magic that I, I don't know, come across or feel.

• 28:22Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 28:22Speaker 03

  Or something that happens in me belly, or when, when you step outside in front of twenty thousand people, or. I just think it's, can't be just, I don't know if I wanna believe in that's just it. Like, I feel like some, something, somewhere, there's a higher fucking power. That's what I think, that's my vibe, like, I think I've seen too much love and magic and.

• 28:49Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 28:50Speaker 03

  Unexplainable shit, like, I don't know.

• 28:52Bill Maher?

  Well, definitely unexplainable.

• 28:53Speaker 03

  You know what I mean, or, like, something's written. I don't fucking know. You know what I mean, I think, I think, or, or maybe that's just a coping mechanism.

• 29:02Bill Maher?

  That's possible too.

• 29:03Speaker 03

  Like, saying it, if you say it's written to yourself, like, I'm terrible at sleeping. Like, especially with what's going on at the meeting, you mean, like, when you were talking about earlier, when you're kind of on the rise and people.

• 29:14Bill Maher?

  Your life is too exciting to go to sleep.

• 29:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's, I'm fucking in bed, like.

• 29:17Bill Maher?

  Right, I don't blame you. You should be.

• 29:20Speaker 03

  What the fuck?

• 29:21Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 29:21Speaker 03

  It's weird, man.

• 29:22Bill Maher?

  And don't get into any sort of pill to help you sleep.

• 29:26Speaker 03

  No, I don't do that shit.

• 29:27Bill Maher?

  That's good, because that, of all the drugs, trust me, of all the drugs, those are the most addictive. You, the ones where you, you start out with this dose, but you always need more.

• 29:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, man. I'm telling you.

• 29:40Bill Maher?

  Cocaine is like that in reverse.

• 29:42Speaker 03

  Do you know, I don't really do coke, I've never done cocaine.

• 29:45Bill Maher?

  That's good too.

• 29:46Speaker 03

  I've got ADHD, it sends me to sleep. Did it once, fell asleep.

• 29:50Bill Maher?

  The coke put you to sleep?

• 29:51Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 29:52Bill Maher?

  Yeah, I totally understand that. Drugs, people think that's crazy. They think pot keeping me up is crazy because people mostly use it to go to sleep, but it has the.

• 30:01Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, no, no.

• 30:02Bill Maher?

  Everyone's different.

• 30:03Speaker 03

  Honestly, if I smoke a bit of weed, it makes me, it makes me awake. Can't do it.

• 30:08Bill Maher?

  Would you like to?

• 30:09Speaker 03

  No, I'm, I can't, it makes me mad because my mind runs a million miles an hour. If I have any of that, I'm like, bing, bing, bing, bing.

• 30:15Bill Maher?

  So you never write a song on pot?

• 30:17Speaker 03

  No, I do, I do a little bit of hash.

• 30:21Bill Maher?

  That's, that's, that's the same drug.

• 30:23Speaker 03

  Really small bit of hash. No, it's a different vibe, isn't it? Like pot's like, makes me like, whoa.

• 30:30Bill Maher?

  It's the same drug. It's the, pot is just, hash is just pot.

• 30:35Speaker 03

  Hash is a bit more like.

• 30:39Speaker 03

  That's how it makes it feel.

• 30:40Bill Maher?

  But I'm telling you, it's all THC.

• 30:43Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 30:44Bill Maher?

  It's just that hash is like they took pot and they squeezed it.

• 30:48Speaker 03

  If I do that shit, I just like become.

• 30:50Bill Maher?

  Yeah, then don't.

• 30:51Speaker 03

  Stupid.

• 30:51Bill Maher?

  No, no, no, I never encourage people to smoke pot.

• 30:54Speaker 03

  Because if you, if you gave me something like that now, I'd be like.

• 30:57Bill Maher?

  Yeah, I'm not going to.

• 30:58Speaker 03

  I'd be like, what?

• 30:58Bill Maher?

  Well, no, we don't want that.

• 30:59Speaker 03

  No, we don't want that.

• 31:00Bill Maher?

  No, and we're not gonna get it.

• 31:01Speaker 03

  No fun for anyone. Everyone will be watching, I'm like, what a fucking cunt.

• 31:06Bill Maher?

  Okay, we're not giving you pot.

• 31:08Speaker 03

  I'm damned, I'm into it, I'm into it, I just speak to the.

• 31:10Bill Maher?

  Okay, Mr. Blood?

• 31:11Speaker 03

  Yeah, sorry, thank you, sir.

• 31:13Bill Maher?

  We are not giving you pot. Stop, stop worrying about it.

• 31:17Speaker 03

  God damn it.

• 32:20Bill Maher?

  And it's great that you don't do drugs.

• 32:22Speaker 03

  Not really.

• 32:22Bill Maher?

  Because usually, this is the thing, right at this moment in your career and your ascent and all the... This is exactly what, I mean, has killed, literally killed so many star, rock stars. I mean, Amy Winehouse and Jimi Hendrix and Jalen Johnson. Yeah, Jim Morrison.

• 32:39Speaker 03

  What's interesting, the thing for me is, if I ever do drugs, it takes the fun out of the main event, and the main event is going on stage.

• 32:47Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 32:47Speaker 03

  If you're on drugs.

• 32:48Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 32:49Speaker 03

  You're never gonna, like, if I walk up to the stage, you lose everything. You lose... The best thing about being on stage is you feel multiple things. You feel excited, you feel turned on, you feel grateful, you feel full of love, you feel full of anger, you feel a million different things at once.

• 33:08Bill Maher?

  Sexual.

• 33:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, sexual, everything.

• 33:10Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 33:10Speaker 03

  You feel every fucking sensory thing in your head at once. If you're on drugs, then you're on drugs. Like, you feel like, there's only one feeling when you're on drugs, and that's, I'm on drugs.

• 33:24Bill Maher?

  Well...

• 33:24Speaker 03

  Do you know what I mean? It's like, if you're at a festival and you take something, you're like, "Oh, I know where I'm at right now." Whereas I would rather remain a little bit more pure. So I feel a bit... Because if it numbed or changed me being on stage, I think that'd be brutal.

• 33:42Bill Maher?

  Well, again, it affects everybody differently. For some people, I would think I am one of them. It, I mean, I could take a drug that made me only think that I was on drugs. But like, this drug, it doesn't, it just enhances...

• 33:57Speaker 03

  To me, that's not a drug, though. That's a plant. That was like god given.

• 34:01Bill Maher?

  No, it's a drug. If it makes you feel different, it's a drug.

• 34:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, fair, fair.

• 34:06Bill Maher?

  I mean, everything is a plant.

• 34:07Speaker 03

  Yeah, I know. You're right.

• 34:08Bill Maher?

  Every drug originally comes from some sort of plant. Sometimes they take it to a lab and make it into a pill, but it came from a plant. Okay, it wasn't ju- what?

• 34:17Speaker 03

  I'm just fucking about. I do that when I'm just like fucking vibing.

• 34:22Bill Maher?

  Okay.

• 34:22Speaker 03

  I'm a vibing man. Keep talking. Sometimes I make faces.

• 34:26Bill Maher?

  Okay, good. You enjoy. But like this to me is just, it takes whatever I'm feeling and just kind of puts it on the moving walkway at the airport, you know, you're like, you're going in.

• 34:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, you're floating.

• 34:40Bill Maher?

  You're float- you're not floating.

• 34:41Speaker 03

  I like that. Funny.

• 34:43Bill Maher?

  You know that thing you get on.

• 34:44Speaker 03

  The thing about that is it enhances any feeling. So like.

• 34:47Bill Maher?

  Exactly.

• 34:47Speaker 03

  That's why you can't take it to go to bed. Cause if I'm, for example.

• 34:50Bill Maher?

  Or if you're sad.

• 34:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, it makes you more sad. People don't realize that. Yeah, I agree.

• 34:56Bill Maher?

  My dog, guy, a week ago.

• 34:57Speaker 03

  What kind of dog was it?

• 34:59Bill Maher?

  A dead one now.

• 35:00Speaker 03

  Fair.

• 35:00Bill Maher?

  No, a little, I don't know. He was a mutt with one eye.

• 35:04Speaker 03

  Oh, fucking sick. We just got a cat with one eye called Scar.

• 35:09Bill Maher?

  It had one eye when you got him?

• 35:11Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 35:12Bill Maher?

  Oh.

• 35:12Speaker 03

  She's a, she's a ledge. Oh, why did you get yours taken out?

• 35:16Bill Maher?

  Well, he had a fight with a car and did not win it.

• 35:19Speaker 03

  Oh, fuck. I'm sorry.

• 35:21Bill Maher?

  Yeah, but that was like, he lived with the one eye.

• 35:24Speaker 03

  What was his name?

• 35:25Bill Maher?

  Chico.

• 35:25Speaker 03

  Chico the pirate. I like that vibe.

• 35:28Bill Maher?

  He was. I mean, Chico, if, you know, you could just look at him and know this, this dog did time.

• 35:32Speaker 03

  Really?

• 35:34Bill Maher?

  This dog did time.

• 35:35Speaker 03

  Just a little bit fucking.

• 35:38Bill Maher?

  And it didn't bug him.

• 35:38Speaker 03

  I'm into that.

• 35:39Bill Maher?

  He was great. I mean, he would bite you if you tried to pet him, which I.

• 35:43Speaker 03

  Especially when you're drunk. People forget if you're drunk and you try and go to a dog, they feel weird cause you're not yourself. Honestly, the most, I heard the most amount of dog bites come from, you know, for example, say like, you've been out with your mates and the dog's there and you kind of come over, like, you're more abrupt, you're less cautious, you're less respectful, so it'll bite you. I read something about that.

• 36:07Bill Maher?

  That may be true.

• 36:08Speaker 03

  And I got bitten loads of times drunk by dogs.

• 36:11Bill Maher?

  This dog would just bite me always. I mean, only after.

• 36:14Speaker 03

  Where?

• 36:15Bill Maher?

  I'm just saying, if you reached out to pet him on the head because of the one eye, he, after, before he had the one eye, he was fine. But then he, he just got scared because he couldn't see. So, and Chico was not the kind of dog to give warning, you know, some dogs are like, err. Chico was like, no warning, we go right to biting. So, it was.

• 36:35Speaker 03

  I liked that one.

• 36:36Bill Maher?

  You know, I used to always say to him, Chico, I'll pet you when you're dead. And then last week I got the chance. And then people said to me, you know, oh, you should smoke some pot. I'm like, no. It just would make it worse. It would enhance my sadness.

• 36:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, you'd be like.

• 36:50Bill Maher?

  It's gonna take whatever I feel and put it on steroids.

• 36:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, make it fifteen times.

• 36:57Bill Maher?

  Why I actually do steroids. No, I'm kidding.

• 37:00Speaker 03

  I was like, you take steroids?

• 37:01Bill Maher?

  No, I don't. Would I look like this?

• 37:03Speaker 03

  I thought your arm was looking a bit fucking big when you came down.

• 37:05Bill Maher?

  No. No, but you look like you could jump around the stage.

• 37:09Speaker 03

  I liked it, yeah. I love, I love it.

• 37:11Bill Maher?

  I mean, I've seen clips of you.

• 37:12Speaker 03

  I'm obsessed with it.

• 37:13Bill Maher?

  You know, we've got a guy over here, Benson Boone. What?

• 37:18Speaker 03

  Yeah, he's funny.

• 37:19Bill Maher?

  He's what?

• 37:20Speaker 03

  He's funny.

• 37:21Bill Maher?

  He's funny?

• 37:21Speaker 03

  He's funny.

• 37:23Bill Maher?

  Funny haha?

• 37:24Speaker 03

  Makes me laugh.

• 37:25Bill Maher?

  Oh, why?

• 37:26Speaker 03

  I don't know, he's funny, with his mustache and shit.

• 37:29Bill Maher?

  Oh, yeah.

• 37:30Speaker 03

  Makes me laugh.

• 37:31Bill Maher?

  He does kind of look like Doug Henning in the seventies.

• 37:34Speaker 03

  Yeah, he looks like a seventies porn star.

• 37:36Bill Maher?

  Or a magician.

• 37:37Speaker 03

  Yeah, he does. He's always like, what's in the hat? What's in the hat? I'm telling you.

• 37:43Bill Maher?

  But he's also.

• 37:44Speaker 03

  Oh, I love that, but he's funny.

• 37:45Bill Maher?

  But he's also very talented.

• 37:46Speaker 03

  Yeah, he's a great singer, but he makes me laugh.

• 37:48Bill Maher?

  And he, and he jumps around.

• 37:50Speaker 03

  I don't know if he thinks his mustache is funny or not. I'm telling you, he might know what we don't. I bet he's like, you're like a porn star, sick.

• 37:58Bill Maher?

  That's a very good question. Does he, is he doing it ironically?

• 38:02Speaker 03

  I think so.

• 38:03Bill Maher?

  You know what I think he's doing it? It's like, you know, he's a rock star now, he's jumping around the stage, he's that age. It's like, you have to have something to keep the bitches away.

• 38:12Speaker 03

  It's Ron Jeremy.

• 38:14Bill Maher?

  Otherwise, there's too many girls.

• 38:16Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 38:17Bill Maher?

  You know, it's like something to turn off some percentage of them.

• 38:21Speaker 03

  I wish I could fucking grow a mustache, I can't.

• 38:24Bill Maher?

  You can't grow a mustache?

• 38:25Speaker 03

  Can't grow a mustache.

• 38:26Bill Maher?

  Come on.

• 38:26Speaker 03

  Telling you, I ain't got shit, I ain't even got chest hair, but nothing.

• 38:32Bill Maher?

  You've got a little around your nipples.

• 38:33Speaker 03

  Little bit of fucking fuzz.

• 38:35Bill Maher?

  Well, maybe, but it's, it's the rock star thing.

• 38:38Speaker 03

  Telling you.

• 38:39Bill Maher?

  I mean, Mick Jagger.

• 38:40Speaker 03

  But Jim Morrison had a good fuck.

• 38:41Bill Maher?

  Mick Jagger, uh, is a hundred and twelve years old.

• 38:46Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 38:47Bill Maher?

  And he has the exact same, like, twenty-eight inch waist he had when he was.

• 38:50Speaker 03

  Legend.

• 38:50Bill Maher?

  That is just someone who was born a rock star.

• 38:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 38:54Bill Maher?

  You know, the Rolling Stones, they're amazing because like, they never put on weight. They, even when they got, you know, one of them got cancer, they didn't lose their hair.

• 39:04Speaker 03

  My, yeah, my vibe, that's what I'm saying, like, I, I just, my vibe is that I gotta be a little bit good, cause I think from my mum's side, I get a bit, a little bit of tub on, so I've gotta watch what I, watch what I eat, but I, uh.

• 39:18Bill Maher?

  That's not much of a.

• 39:19Speaker 03

  No, a little bit, I'm, I'm saying like.

• 39:22Bill Maher?

  That's, you don't wanna be machine.

• 39:24Speaker 03

  Iggy or Mick, man, they just kept it tight, didn't they? You know what I mean? Naturally.

• 39:28Bill Maher?

  You don't wanna be Machine Gun Kelly, who looks too emaciated. And I, I like skinny and thin. I keep myself as thin, as possible at my age, but.

• 39:39Speaker 03

  I thought I got a bit too skinny this year. I was like, fucking hell.

• 39:42Bill Maher?

  You can.

• 39:43Speaker 03

  No. I like, I like looking a bit like, I'm, I'm down a fucking ride, you know what I mean?

• 39:49Bill Maher?

  Ariana Grande has a new fast food restaurant. It's called Look at the Box.

• 39:53Speaker 03

  What? Fucking Ariana Grande, man. She's a, she's a, she's a cutie pie.

• 39:58Bill Maher?

  Okay, but she's, could put on a couple of pounds. And that's somebody who.

• 40:02Speaker 03

  I agree. Do you know what? If, do you know if I knew Ariana Grande, I'd, I'd bring her back to Yorkshire and give her a couple of Yorkshire puddings.

• 40:06Bill Maher?

  Would that do the trick?

• 40:08Speaker 03

  I'm telling you, yeah. Cuddle on Yorkshire puddings. Give her a cuddle. Give her a fucking cold, take her to the cold and give her a cup of York's pudding.

• 40:15Bill Maher?

  I'm sure you'll be doing duets with her soon.

• 40:18Speaker 03

  I tell you, she's got a good voice though.

• 40:20Bill Maher?

  And so do you. I mean, people wanna work.

• 40:24Bill Maher?

  What?

• 40:24Speaker 03

  I don't know, I just fucking did it again. I just have these sporadic fucking things, man.

• 40:29Bill Maher?

  That's fine.

• 40:30Speaker 03

  You said you got a good voice and it felt like singing.

• 40:32Bill Maher?

  It's sort of like a delightful version of Tourette's.

• 40:35Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's fully like that.

• 40:36Bill Maher?

  It's, it's, it's Tourette's delightful.

• 40:39Speaker 03

  Tourette's about the folks.

• 40:41Bill Maher?

  Yeah, you don't wanna do that, but this is good. But, I mean, people, you know, a certain caliber talent only wanna work with people who are equal.

• 40:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, hundred percent.

• 40:54Bill Maher?

  Which is understandable.

• 40:56Speaker 03

  I think that's when it makes sense as well, you know what I mean? Like, you gotta, I think when you're kinda looking for a collaboration, you wanna be able to stand next to someone on stage and almost shit yourself. To be like, ah, they're gonna be better than me, you know what I mean? You want that, you want that healthy competition, don't you?

• 41:12Bill Maher?

  You want a healthy competition, yes, and you also wanna feel like you're not slumming.

• 41:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, I agree.

• 41:18Bill Maher?

  You wanna feel like you're with people who are on your level.

• 41:21Speaker 03

  Yeah, on your wave and on your level, hundred percent.

• 41:23Bill Maher?

  You know, I mean, because, you know, life is not a democracy. Talent is not meted out, you know, according just to whoever wants it. It's sad to say, lots of people would love to be a rock star. I'm sorry, you didn't pull that in the lottery.

• 41:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, man.

• 41:40Bill Maher?

  You know, I mean.

• 41:40Speaker 03

  It's, it's, it's, it's, it's a funny one, isn't it? I think, I think, I, I, I, yeah, I love it. I fucking love being on stage, it's awesome.

• 41:50Bill Maher?

  Of course, I mean.

• 41:51Speaker 03

  It's fucking great, 'cause you.

• 41:52Bill Maher?

  Can you imagine your life if you really were an archaeologist?

• 41:55Speaker 03

  Nah, yeah, I think you're right. I think I'd be a weird, I think I'd be, I'd probably be a TV archaeologist.

• 42:01Bill Maher?

  A TV, even that, I mean, you'd have to do the real work, you'd have to go out.

• 42:05Speaker 03

  No one would let me be on TV, 'cause I'm like, look at the fucking pyramids, man. The fucking Roman shield, you fuckers.

• 42:13Bill Maher?

  You wouldn't even be at the pyramid.

• 42:14Speaker 03

  No, I agree.

• 42:15Bill Maher?

  The pyramids would be a fucking Ramada compared to where you would be, which would be in the middle of fucking nowhere because archaeologists are looking for the bones.

• 42:24Speaker 03

  Yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right.

• 42:25Bill Maher?

  Of our human ancestors.

• 42:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, I know, you're right.

• 42:28Bill Maher?

  You know, I mean like.

• 42:29Speaker 03

  Because we all think it's gonna be like The Mummy and shit. You know that film, The Mummy? I watched it on the plane back from Japan.

• 42:36Bill Maher?

  Really?

• 42:37Speaker 03

  The CGI is so bad on that film. Honestly, when I was a kid, I was like, what the fuck?

• 42:41Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 42:42Speaker 03

  It's terrible now. But I watched The Mummy, I was like, ah, could have been an archaeologist, but definitely wouldn't be that.

• 42:47Bill Maher?

  They spend decades, literally.

• 42:49Speaker 03

  Sweating, scratching your arse trying to find a fucking.

• 42:52Bill Maher?

  Scratching in the dirt.

• 42:54Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 42:54Bill Maher?

  And like, you of course only hear about the successes.

• 42:59Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 42:59Bill Maher?

  Like, do you know who Lucy is?

• 43:01Speaker 03

  No.

• 43:03Speaker 03

  Who's Lucy?

• 43:04Bill Maher?

  You said that like the French.

• 43:05Speaker 03

  No.

• 43:08Bill Maher?

  Fuck no.

• 43:08Speaker 03

  Fuck, who's Lucy?

• 43:09Bill Maher?

  Lucy is a skeleton of our, really are what they think is our first really humanoid ancestor.

• 43:16Speaker 03

  Alright, cool.

• 43:17Bill Maher?

  Two and a half million years ago.

• 43:19Speaker 03

  Shit, wow.

• 43:21Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 43:21Speaker 03

  Where'd she find her?

• 43:22Bill Maher?

  She's about.

• 43:26Bill Maher?

  Oddly at your pub.

• 43:27Speaker 03

  I'm fucking telling you, man.

• 43:29Bill Maher?

  No, in. In East Africa.

• 43:32Speaker 03

  Oh, fuck, cool.

• 43:33Bill Maher?

  The cradle of civilization.

• 43:35Speaker 03

  I've been to it.

• 43:36Bill Maher?

  Yeah, and that is where humans, I think, first appeared. Humanoid, I mean, we're way, we're two million years before we get to.

• 43:46Speaker 03

  I bet you look well different.

• 43:47Bill Maher?

  Our species, Homo sapiens.

• 43:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, cool.

• 43:50Bill Maher?

  But this is a humanoid, she's about four foot tall. That's how tall women were, humans were at that time.

• 43:58Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 43:58Bill Maher?

  But she did stand upright.

• 44:00Speaker 03

  She stood upright?

• 44:01Bill Maher?

  Yes.

• 44:01Speaker 03

  Alright, sick.

• 44:02Bill Maher?

  And didn't get credit for it.

• 44:04Speaker 03

  Fair.

• 44:06Speaker 03

  Lucy, man, I liked her name Lucy.

• 44:08Bill Maher?

  And they named her Lucy, I can't remember why. But I mean, you know, that, like, if you did that, you would be celebrated and maybe you would get that rush that you get on stage. But it would happen just once in your life.

• 44:20Speaker 03

  Yeah, once in your life, I get it every night.

• 44:21Bill Maher?

  If ever.

• 44:22Speaker 03

  I get it every night, fuck, yeah.

• 44:25Speaker 03

  Fuck. Found Lucy every night.

• 44:27Bill Maher?

  Well, you don't play every night.

• 44:29Speaker 03

  Well, two shows on, one day off.

• 44:33Bill Maher?

  Because you're on tour.

• 44:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 44:34Bill Maher?

  But when you're not on tour.

• 44:36Speaker 03

  Fucking horrible.

• 44:37Bill Maher?

  You thi- life is horrible?

• 44:38Speaker 03

  Hate it.

• 44:39Bill Maher?

  Come on.

• 44:40Speaker 03

  Telling you.

• 44:40Bill Maher?

  You'll get over that.

• 44:41Speaker 03

  Nah, I agree. But I like, I love it at the minute. I just love being on the road. I love being on my bus. I don't leave my bus, my tour bus, yeah. Even if I got a right nice hotel.

• 44:52Bill Maher?

  You will definitely get over that.

• 44:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, probably. I got a five star hotel. I go, go in the hotel, wash me winky and then fucking head back to the bus.

• 45:00Bill Maher?

  You sleep on the bus?

• 45:01Speaker 03

  Love it.

• 45:02Bill Maher?

  By choice?

• 45:03Speaker 03

  By choice.

• 45:04Bill Maher?

  Wow.

• 45:05Speaker 03

  Love it.

• 45:05Bill Maher?

  That is interesting.

• 45:06Speaker 03

  I think, the thing about hotels have freaked me out.

• 45:11Speaker 03

  There's no consistency.

• 45:14Speaker 03

  Do you know what I mean? It's like a new room, you got to adjust to a new energy. And then some nights you got some fucking shagging next door or events going.

• 45:23Bill Maher?

  If you're in a five star hotel, you shouldn't be hearing them shagging next door.

• 45:27Speaker 03

  Nah, I'm telling you, fucking rich people fuck too, man, I'm telling you.

• 45:31Bill Maher?

  They do, but you, but the, but the five star hotels are built so that you don't hear it. I mean, I've stayed in five star hotels.

• 45:38Speaker 03

  Not the five star hotels I'm staying in, obviously.

• 45:40Bill Maher?

  Really?

• 45:41Speaker 03

  You can hear them shagging all the time.

• 45:42Bill Maher?

  But I'll, I will concede you this, I have been on the road since the eighties and I just quit. And one of the reasons I quit partly is because like, you know what, I'm seventy, I don't fucking need to drag.

• 45:57Speaker 03

  You're seventy, you look good for seventy.

• 45:58Bill Maher?

  Thank you, pal.

• 46:00Speaker 03

  Telling you, look at your fucking forehead, it's clear as a whistle.

• 46:03Bill Maher?

  No.

• 46:06Bill Maher?

  Just like basic shit and they can fuck it up.

• 46:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, freak out on hotels.

• 46:10Bill Maher?

  And the hotel can fuck it up. I mean.

• 46:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's, it's weird. The thing, because the thing about me buses, it's how I want my room to, like, if I, if you're in America. When you tour America, it's kind of weird. When you tour Europe, you, you, you come to a different culture, different language, different food every day. So you're kind of down to embrace that a little bit more. When you're in America, you, six weeks of the same thing. You know what I mean? I mean, obviously you get like Dallas and Seattle and great cities. But I like my, but when I'm in America, I like my bus. I like me biker boots. I like a mid, a midnight truck stop and I like my bus. Because that makes things like comfortable in America. And I just can't, I just don't fuck with the hotels when I'm here.

• 46:51Bill Maher?

  A midnight truck stop that you wanna get the food?

• 46:54Speaker 03

  My, no, I don't eat there. I just have a couple of drinks and just, and, cause the vibe is like, cause the drive is so long in America. If you're leaving like, I don't know, Salt Lake City to, uh, to like Austin, you got like a, a stop in the day. And then you keep going. It's like, you drive and there's normally like five buses on our tours. Cause I got a bus, Ben's got a bus, Cruz got a bus, Riggers have got a bus, everyone's got a bus.

• 47:21Bill Maher?

  You got your own bus?

• 47:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, oh yeah.

• 47:24Bill Maher?

  How, uh, the same size as the other bu- what, what, that's a lot of bus for one guy.

• 47:29Speaker 03

  Lot of buses, man.

• 47:30Bill Maher?

  No, but a lot of bus for one guy.

• 47:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm, I like the vibe though. You got, you get your back room, you got like your toilet, you can, you can't have a shit in the toilet on the bus. Not allowed, you gotta piss.

• 47:41Bill Maher?

  Even on your own? It's your bus, what do you care?

• 47:44Speaker 03

  Can't do it.

• 47:45Bill Maher?

  On your own? You won't shit in your own bus?

• 47:48Speaker 03

  Nope. Truck stop.

• 47:51Bill Maher?

  But what if you have to?

• 47:52Speaker 03

  You go on the drive and be like, yo, I really need the toilet. And they're like, alright man, I'll stop at the next services.

• 47:58Bill Maher?

  You'd rather lay a load in a fucking strange truck stop toilet than in your own bus or in a five star hotel?

• 48:06Speaker 03

  Yep. I think that's what, that's my vibe though, man. I like it.

• 48:10Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 48:11Speaker 03

  The thing about the truck, cause the best thing about it is like, people will all swap buses. So the best, the best part is the crew bus. Cause the crew will just party till six AM, then load in and sleep all day before the gig. So if you're on a party, you go to the crew bus and like you, then, then the best thing about it is we'll meet at a truck stop at like three AM. And then we'll all go back, we'll go, go to bed. But like you party while you're driving. So I love a like three AM truck stop in America. It's the best. You get a fucking Slim Jim, crack a Slim Jim.

• 48:44Bill Maher?

  And these are with the groupies you took from the last city?

• 48:48Speaker 03

  No, I don't really do groupies. It's twenty twenty five, isn't it? Can't be doing that shit anymore.

• 48:54Bill Maher?

  Oh, right. Like fucking fans ever goes out of style. Shut the fuck up. Like, nobody's ever gonna fuck a groupie again because it's twenty twenty five. Uh, you know what? Where's AI when you need it to?

• 49:10Bill Maher?

  What?

• 49:11Speaker 03

  No comment.

• 49:12Bill Maher?

  So, and tell me you've never availed yourself.

• 49:15Speaker 03

  What's availed myself mean?

• 49:17Bill Maher?

  Availed yourself means took, not taken advantage in a bad way, but just a female was enamored of you because of your talent, shall we say.

• 49:28Speaker 03

  I haven't been that big for that long yet.

• 49:31Bill Maher?

  It's on, I told you, it's on the way up that it's fun. It's the best time before it gets too, yes, soon it will be the case where there's more sharks in the water. Uh, there are some. I don't want this, I don't, I don't, I don't know what this symbol is.

• 49:49Speaker 03

  Is my no comment set?

• 49:50Bill Maher?

  Oh, I see. All right, I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm not looking, this is like I.

• 49:55Speaker 03

  Anyway, I like a late night truck stop.

• 49:59Bill Maher?

  I'm, I'm not looking to pry into your.

• 50:01Speaker 03

  No, I'm into the vibe, no, I'm into the vibe, man, I'm, I'm having fun.

• 50:05Bill Maher?

  Yeah, me too.

• 50:06Speaker 03

  I'm gonna keep.

• 50:06Bill Maher?

  And it's always, and it's always. And it, and, and you, and, and you shouldn't be, uh, ever put off by the fact that to people who are not rock stars, otherwise known as ninety-nine point nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine-nine percent of the population.

• 50:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 50:23Bill Maher?

  The rock star, there's a reason why it's a word in the language now, rock star, meaning anybody, doesn't have to be a literal rock star. It's just fascinating to people because it's sort of like uber normal human behavior, you're allowed.

• 50:37Speaker 03

  No, I, I, you know what, I, I think the world has gone a bit mad, I think with it all, I think as long as you're fucking nice and respectful and vibing, then what's the fucking problem? That's what I think, I think with it all, with rock music, with sex, with everything, as long as everything's fucking consensual and a vibe and real and nice, what's the issue? That's my vibe, that's my take on it. All love, baby, all fucking love.

• 51:02Bill Maher?

  Geez, I'll embroider that on a pillow tonight.

• 51:04Speaker 03

  Telling you, embroider that shit on a pillow, oh shit, I dropped the line.

• 51:07Bill Maher?

  Who gave you that speech?

• 51:09Speaker 03

  Me.

• 51:09Bill Maher?

  Your publicist?

• 51:10Speaker 03

  No, I did. I fucking did, I believe in the love, I love the love.

• 51:15Bill Maher?

  Really?

• 51:15Speaker 03

  Yeah, I do.

• 51:16Bill Maher?

  No, who doesn't? Like, who doesn't love love?

• 51:18Speaker 03

  Yeah, I agree, I agree.

• 51:19Bill Maher?

  Because like, religion?

• 51:22Bill Maher?

  You know, look, I'm basically where you're saying, as I don't disagree. We don't know. I think where I come across differently than like the person who says anything about the next world is my attitude about things we just can't know is, well, then I'm just not going to make up any story about them. I'm not going to believe or not, or not believe anything because I'll never know. So I'm just, I'm just going to say, that's in this other compartment. March, I can never know. So I'm just not going to think about it at all. Like, for whatever reason, we're here.

• 52:01Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 52:02Bill Maher?

  This dude who I never met, who I'm having such a good time with, and I love this guy.

• 52:08Speaker 03

  And Maria.

• 52:08Bill Maher?

  And me, and we were born in different continents.

• 52:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 52:12Bill Maher?

  And somehow, well, maybe this is just.

• 52:14Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 52:15Bill Maher?

  A, this is just a.

• 52:16Speaker 03

  A fucking simulation or some shit.

• 52:19Bill Maher?

  Right, exactly, that somebody else is having, happening. Or whatever it is, I'm just going to live in the, in the reality I've come to know.

• 52:27Speaker 03

  You know what's so weird? I always think that. I was literally thinking about like, what simu, I mean, especially at the minute, I'm like, what simulation is this?

• 52:34Bill Maher?

  It could be.

• 52:35Speaker 03

  It's all the time, like, when you're on stage, like.

• 52:38Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 52:38Speaker 03

  What the fuck? Like, honestly, I'm still.

• 52:41Bill Maher?

  But you also must have a feeling like, why me? Why of all the people in the world did Jesus point his finger down and say, give that guy.

• 52:52Speaker 03

  Sing, motherfucker.

• 52:53Bill Maher?

  Give that guy the tour bus life.

• 52:55Speaker 03

  Very weird, yeah. It's always.

• 52:57Bill Maher?

  Why you?

• 52:58Speaker 03

  It's all, I think that's what does keep me up at night sometimes.

• 53:01Bill Maher?

  Did you do something right in the last life?

• 53:03Speaker 03

  Maybe I was a good fucking beaver or some shit.

• 53:08Bill Maher?

  And you got bumped up to rock star?

• 53:10Speaker 03

  Beaver to rock star.

• 53:11Bill Maher?

  I feel like you go beaver to shoe salesman. You know, I don't think, I don't think you go directly. You don't go directly to rock, the rock star from Beaver. You gotta like, just be a regular human and like, deal with that. Be a shoe salesman and not be bitter, and then we'll see about being a rock star.

• 53:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, all right, cool.

• 53:33Bill Maher?

  I think that's how.

• 53:33Speaker 03

  Nah, man, I bypassed, went straight from Beaver. Made a good fucking damn, looked after me pups and.

• 53:39Bill Maher?

  Well, I'm sure you've seen a lot of Beaver. Do they have that term in England?

• 53:44Speaker 03

  Beaver.

• 53:45Bill Maher?

  Is that what they?

• 53:46Speaker 03

  Not really, no.

• 53:47Bill Maher?

  You know what that is in America?

• 53:48Speaker 03

  Does that mean fanny?

• 53:49Bill Maher?

  Beaver means pussy.

• 53:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, fanny.

• 53:53Bill Maher?

  Fanny?

• 53:53Speaker 03

  We call it fanny.

• 53:54Bill Maher?

  I never heard of that.

• 53:55Speaker 03

  Never heard fanny?

• 53:56Bill Maher?

  Fanny?

• 53:57Speaker 03

  Fanny.

• 53:57Bill Maher?

  F A N N Y?

• 53:59Speaker 03

  F A N N Y.

• 54:00Bill Maher?

  That's what we call an ass. That's an old term, her fanny.

• 54:03Speaker 03

  Oh, really? Oh, no, we.

• 54:04Bill Maher?

  That means, that means a woman's.

• 54:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 54:07Bill Maher?

  Specifically or sex in general?

• 54:09Speaker 03

  No, genitals.

• 54:11Bill Maher?

  Oh.

• 54:11Speaker 03

  You fanny.

• 54:12Bill Maher?

  The, the lingam.

• 54:13Speaker 03

  Yeah, you don't.

• 54:14Bill Maher?

  The yoni, whatever.

• 54:16Speaker 03

  It's a bit more like, the thing about a British accent, it's a bit more. Woohoo! And like, I couldn't say the P U S S Y. It's a bit weird, like. Just like, fanny's like, a bit more like, woo.

• 54:27Bill Maher?

  But you guys use cunt.

• 54:29Speaker 03

  I mean, yeah, but we don't use cunt in that word. I call it, all right, you cunt.

• 54:33Bill Maher?

  Right. It's, it's a much more benign word.

• 54:36Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's more, it's more fun.

• 54:38Bill Maher?

  It's more fun.

• 54:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's not like serious. The C U N T word's not serious.

• 54:43Bill Maher?

  No, it's not.

• 54:43Speaker 03

  Especially in the south.

• 54:45Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 54:45Speaker 03

  The thing about it is, in the north, it's of England, it's a little bit more. Uh, disrespectful, like America. If you say this, if you say cunt in America, I was like.

• 54:59Speaker 03

  In the south of England, everyone's, all right, you cunt, is it fucking going when you speak like this and all that? In the north, I said C U N T to my mother, she washed my mouth out with fucking soap.

• 55:11Bill Maher?

  The north is what, like Liverpool?

• 55:13Speaker 03

  Yeah, like Manchester, Doncaster, Liverpool, Newcastle.

• 55:16Bill Maher?

  So Manchester is north?

• 55:18Speaker 03

  Manchester's north.

• 55:19Bill Maher?

  Is anything north of London?

• 55:21Speaker 03

  Yeah, fucking not. Americans are like, oh, I've been to the north London. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. Don't say that in the UK. Right, there's London, if that's the UK, right, that's Scotland, which.

• 55:32Bill Maher?

  Oh, that's a different country. I mean, it's part of the UK.

• 55:35Speaker 03

  Yes, hundred percent.

• 55:36Bill Maher?

  Do you have Gaelic roots?

• 55:38Speaker 03

  Uh, no, I don't. I'm a Portuguese Jew.

• 55:40Bill Maher?

  Oh.

• 55:41Speaker 03

  Romanian gypsy.

• 55:42Bill Maher?

  Wow.

• 55:43Speaker 03

  English.

• 55:44Bill Maher?

  Roma?

• 55:45Speaker 03

  Romanian gypsy, yeah, I mean, on my mum's side.

• 55:47Bill Maher?

  Roma?

• 55:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, Roma.

• 55:49Bill Maher?

  Holy fuck.

• 55:50Speaker 03

  My Charlie. Yeah, my mum's father, my mum never knew her father.

• 55:55Bill Maher?

  Cowboy and pirate.

• 55:56Speaker 03

  Cowboy, pirate, gypsy.

• 55:58Bill Maher?

  Gypsy.

• 55:59Speaker 03

  Yeah, gypsy boy, yeah.

• 56:00Bill Maher?

  Gypsy's like even more.

• 56:02Speaker 03

  On my mother's side, yeah. My mum's father was a gypsy.

• 56:05Bill Maher?

  Okay, well, that that begins to explain your charisma and stuff.

• 56:10Speaker 03

  I think that's why I never wanna be in one place. I freak like I freak out if I'm in one place for too long.

• 56:17Bill Maher?

  Because you're a gypsy.

• 56:18Speaker 03

  I think so. I really do think that like my mum always says that she's like you got that. Cause my mum never knew a dad. My mum's dad knocked me grandma up then pissed off.

• 56:28Bill Maher?

  And how do you know when you're really a gypsy? Hey, my wallet.

• 56:32Speaker 03

  What? Ah, it's like, yeah, it's here. Here you go. Got you. Got you when you walked in.

• 56:40Bill Maher?

  But yeah, and you knew this when you were a kid?

• 56:43Speaker 03

  Yeah, well, I always thought my grandfather was Rod Stewart.

• 56:46Bill Maher?

  And was he?

• 56:47Speaker 03

  No.

• 56:48Bill Maher?

  Oh.

• 56:49Speaker 03

  Cause my mum never had a dad, so my grandmother always lied to me.

• 56:53Bill Maher?

  So you just figured Rod Stewart had fucked so many women?

• 56:56Speaker 03

  My grandmother.

• 56:56Bill Maher?

  It's not a bad assumption.

• 56:58Speaker 03

  In all fairness, right? I'm from the north. My mum never had a dad, but I don't think my mother or my grandmother wanted to upset me. So she always said to me Rod Stewart was me.

• 57:08Bill Maher?

  Oh, that's funny.

• 57:09Speaker 03

  Grandfather. So I was always like, fucking hell, man, I have this rock star grandad from like being like three to eleven. And when I found out, I was in a supermarket. Right? And I picked up a Rod Stewart CD. I was with my mother's mum, my grandmother. I was like, like nine or fucking eleven or some shit. And I was like, picked up this CD and was like, nah, I'm proper quivering lit like, when's grandad gonna reach out to me? When's grandad coming home? And everyone at the checkout started hysterically laughing. Cause obviously they caught my grandmother in a blatant lie. And that's the day I found out Rod Stewart was my grandfather.

• 57:51Speaker 03

  I mean.

• 57:52Bill Maher?

  But your grandfather was?

• 57:54Speaker 03

  My grandfather was a gypsy.

• 57:56Bill Maher?

  Uh, no, a rock star, wasn't he? Wasn't your grandfather?

• 57:58Speaker 03

  No, my dad's on my dad's side.

• 58:00Bill Maher?

  T-Rex?

• 58:00Speaker 03

  So my dad's, my dad's side, my grandfather was a keys player who auditioned for T-Rex and didn't get in.

• 58:06Bill Maher?

  That's too bad because like Bang a Gong, do you, you know it?

• 58:11Speaker 03

  Bang a gong, get it on.

• 58:14Bill Maher?

  Bang a gong, get it on.

• 58:18Speaker 03

  Epic, man. That was the shit. That was the shit I got brought up on. So on my father, on my father's side, my grand, so there was like my grand, my dad's dad's, my dad's dad and my dad's dad's brother. Philip was a doctor and me dad's dad was a musician. So me grandad was almost like the black sheep in the family. What's that?

• 58:42Speaker 03

  Fuck, is that white shit you put it in that?

• 58:45Bill Maher?

  Why do people freak out when I use liquid heroin? Like, it's not a party, okay?

• 58:50Speaker 03

  A little bit of H, man.

• 58:51Bill Maher?

  It's, you know what?

• 58:52Speaker 03

  What's gin?

• 58:53Bill Maher?

  It's, it's.

• 58:55Speaker 03

  Gin.

• 58:55Bill Maher?

  Boy, that stops you in your tracks, huh?

• 58:58Speaker 03

  Yeah, sodas.

• 58:59Bill Maher?

  You know, it's actually very healthy.

• 59:01Speaker 03

  Lemon lime.

• 59:02Bill Maher?

  It's a way to have.

• 59:03Speaker 03

  Is this weed as well?

• 59:04Bill Maher?

  It's a way to have soda without any chemicals.

• 59:09Speaker 03

  Should've, I wanna put a bit on me vodka.

• 59:11Bill Maher?

  Mmm.

• 59:11Speaker 03

  All right, gin.

• 59:12Bill Maher?

  You should. It's, it's very tasty.

• 59:15Speaker 03

  Gin, gin.

• 59:15Bill Maher?

  They're, they're a different.

• 59:17Speaker 03

  I'm into it, man.

• 59:19Bill Maher?

  Here, don't do that, like, here, take this.

• 59:21Speaker 03

  Oh shit, sorry, you got me astounded.

• 59:22Bill Maher?

  There you go.

• 59:23Speaker 03

  Could take the boy out and off.

• 59:24Bill Maher?

  What, do you think we're on a tour bus here?

• 59:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm telling you.

• 59:26Bill Maher?

  Or this is civilization now?

• 59:28Speaker 03

  Dirty bastard, so I'll give you that back, sir. Thank you. What was it talking about? Oh yeah, me grandad was a, me grandad was a musician. So me grandfa, me grandfather would basically obsess over old records with me. He'd be like, oh, this is the good shit. He'd like play me the Stooges or MC5.

• 59:43Bill Maher?

  You should see my record collection.

• 59:44Speaker 03

  Oh, really?

• 59:45Bill Maher?

  Cause I, I mean, I was 12 in 1968.

• 59:48Speaker 03

  Fucking hell, that's great.

• 59:49Bill Maher?

  Yeah, it's good.

• 59:50Speaker 03

  I mean, it does make it drink, it's like, what's in it? Stevia and shit?

• 59:52Bill Maher?

  It's stevia, yes.

• 59:54Speaker 03

  I can tell it's stevia.

• 59:54Bill Maher?

  It's actually made by, by a chemist who, you know, knows his shit and is.

• 1:00:00Speaker 03

  Is he chemist, is he, is he a mate?

• 1:00:02Bill Maher?

  Is a mate? No, I would, oh, I understand what the word means. I, I, I wouldn't.

• 1:00:08Speaker 03

  We're gonna be friends, I mean, I'm telling you.

• 1:00:10Bill Maher?

  I wouldn't, we're, we're mates already. But I wouldn't say he's a mate, but I've met him and, you know.

• 1:00:16Speaker 03

  Doctor.

• 1:00:16Bill Maher?

  None, you know.

• 1:00:18Speaker 03

  He's a doctor.

• 1:00:18Bill Maher?

  I like people who know more than me about something.

• 1:00:20Speaker 03

  Yeah, all right, cool, I like that too.

• 1:00:22Bill Maher?

  I mean, it's great to pick people's brains. My favorite three words are, I don't know. Cause when I say that, I learn something.

• 1:00:27Speaker 03

  You know what, my vibe is like.

• 1:00:29Bill Maher?

  I mean, not from you.

• 1:00:29Speaker 03

  People are so afraid to say, I don't know. Do you know what I mean, if you're in an interview and you ask me a question, I'll be like, oh yeah, I tried to skirt around the subject. I love saying, I don't fucking know what he's talking about.

• 1:00:39Bill Maher?

  You know what, because it shows you're confident. It shows you're, people, you know who's, who never says, I don't know, unconfident people. Who wants you to think they know everything already.

• 1:00:49Speaker 03

  I hate that man, like, what's the point of life?

• 1:00:52Bill Maher?

  Because they, you know, they just can't give it up, whereas like if you're confident that I already know I'm a smart person and people think I'm a smart person. I don't have to then pretend I know everything.

• 1:01:02Speaker 03

  I always say, I ain't got a Scooby Doo. She's, I ain't got a clue, you know, like we do that. In Engli- in English, we fucking rhyme shit. Like my, my favorite, yeah, we say like, let's have a butchers.

• 1:01:15Bill Maher?

  What's that mean?

• 1:01:16Speaker 03

  Do you know what that means? Let's have a butchers hook, let's have a look. Let's have a butchers hook, let's have a look.

• 1:01:22Bill Maher?

  Butchers hook, I don't know.

• 1:01:23Speaker 03

  Or like the apple and pears.

• 1:01:25Bill Maher?

  I don't know what the word butcher, you mean like a meat?

• 1:01:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, like, yeah, like, but let's have a look. We say, let's have a butchers.

• 1:01:31Bill Maher?

  Oh, wow.

• 1:01:32Speaker 03

  It's weird. Or like, I'm gonna go up the apples, apples and pears.

• 1:01:36Bill Maher?

  I've heard that one, yes.

• 1:01:37Speaker 03

  Stairs.

• 1:01:38Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 1:01:39Speaker 03

  It's weird, man, I don't know why we fucking do that, but we do.

• 1:01:42Bill Maher?

  Only a cunt says that. But it, no, it's true, the cunt is not a bad word.

• 1:01:48Speaker 03

  I like the word.

• 1:01:49Bill Maher?

  They're, they use it, and you use it.

• 1:01:51Speaker 03

  Can I tell you, use it.

• 1:01:51Bill Maher?

  Across, it's not, it doesn't refer just to a woman, that's the, that's the difference.

• 1:01:55Speaker 03

  No, I agree, it return to a person.

• 1:01:57Bill Maher?

  She's just a person, anybody can be a cunt.

• 1:02:00Speaker 03

  Best use of that word is the Australians. L A, you can't, vaga in Australia, you can't. The Australians use it the best. Every fucking, honestly, like, every, every walk of life uses it. Like a, a, a grandmother will be like, L A can't, I blessed this meal.

• 1:02:16Bill Maher?

  You're so right when you say it's just not serious, whereas here, it's serious.

• 1:02:20Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:02:20Bill Maher?

  Especially if you say, boy, I'd like to fuck your cunt.

• 1:02:23Speaker 03

• 1:03:58Speaker 03

  That's too serious. Yeah, that triggered me. My vibe is like, because the Americans have started using it. I mean, like, oh, on TikTok, you're serving cunt. Which I don't get, but it's made it more acceptable in America, which is like, you're giving me attitude. Isn't it great, the way?

• 1:04:18Bill Maher?

  America and England, of course, we've had our differences. We had to break away from England.

• 1:04:22Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:04:23Bill Maher?

  Fight a war.

• 1:04:23Speaker 03

  He kicked us out.

• 1:04:24Bill Maher?

  It's a long, long time.

• 1:04:25Speaker 03

  Spank it and send us home.

• 1:04:26Bill Maher?

  Long time, well, exactly. But the way culturally, certainly in my lifetime, there's been this back and forth. I mean, rock and roll and that, that started here. And then you guys took it and brought it to, I mean, The Beatles and The Stones.

• 1:04:42Speaker 03

  And Oasis.

• 1:04:42Bill Maher?

  The Who.

• 1:04:43Speaker 03

  The Stones and The Who, yeah.

• 1:04:44Bill Maher?

  You know, whenever it clapped, you know, like all that. I mean, you, and then we would take back.

• 1:04:48Speaker 03

  And you'd take it back.

• 1:04:49Bill Maher?

  You know, and I, I mean, there, there's just a wonderful sort of simpatico between the two cultures, which have enough that is not in common, so that they kind of complement each other.

• 1:05:01Speaker 03

  I love it.

• 1:05:01Bill Maher?

  You know, they, they bring things to each other.

• 1:05:03Speaker 03

  I love playing America.

• 1:05:05Bill Maher?

  I'll bet you do.

• 1:05:05Speaker 03

  Honestly, I love it. I, I, I just, I think everyone, like, for example, say like I'm in like Cleveland or fucking Milwaukee. I'm at radio, they laugh at me. If I come into a radio station, I'm like, oh, hello, fucking with my accent. Everyone laughs at me.

• 1:05:22Bill Maher?

  Why?

• 1:05:22Speaker 03

  I don't know.

• 1:05:23Bill Maher?

  We've never heard a British accent?

• 1:05:25Speaker 03

  No, I think honestly, if, I mean, if you're in fucking Idaho, everyone's like, I think I'm British.

• 1:05:29Bill Maher?

  Especially musicians. We've heard a thousand fucking musicians who have your accent.

• 1:05:34Speaker 03

  But not in the.

• 1:05:35Bill Maher?

  Most of the people.

• 1:05:36Speaker 03

  Not in the flesh occasionally, you know what I mean? It's funny. Every time I'm going to like Idaho radio station, I'm like, hello, I'm like, ah.

• 1:05:44Bill Maher?

  I mean, in the, in my formative years, my first years of listening, of listening to music, it was mostly either Motown, which was very American.

• 1:05:55Speaker 03

  Sick.

• 1:05:56Bill Maher?

  Obviously, we know that. But it wasn't, it was British.

• 1:06:00Speaker 03

  Yeah, man.

• 1:06:01Bill Maher?

  It was The Beatles and The Stones and The Who and The Holly's.

• 1:06:04Speaker 03

  Wish I would have been around for that.

• 1:06:05Bill Maher?

  And The Moody Blues and T-Rex and, and David Bowie and like, and clapped, I mean, Cream, it was just, it was mostly, first of all, for some reason, like, the, the male band? That's an extinct species.

• 1:06:21Speaker 03

  Weird, right?

• 1:06:23Bill Maher?

  In my, that first era when I was listening to music, that was the main, The Doors and the, everybody.

• 1:06:29Speaker 03

  Yes, I just got into The Doors, you know, I just got into Jim Morrison, just. I thought he was a bit of a cunt for a bit, until this year, when I started like, listening to him properly, I was like.

• 1:06:39Bill Maher?

  Why'd you think he was a cunt?

• 1:06:40Speaker 03

  I don't know, I think, I think everyone overhyped him. Do you know when everyone's like, oh, yeah.

• 1:06:45Bill Maher?

  Well, anytime you die, they do.

• 1:06:47Speaker 03

  Yeah, everyone's like, yeah.

• 1:06:48Bill Maher?

  Dying is the best career move. If you really wanna blow up, die.

• 1:06:52Speaker 03

  Yeah, in it, I'm telling you. I just made it through twenty seven. I thought about that.

• 1:06:57Bill Maher?

  Move the needle.

• 1:06:58Speaker 03

  But the problem is I want no shit.

• 1:06:59Bill Maher?

  Twenty eight is the new twenty seven.

• 1:07:01Speaker 03

  You go and think, I'm gonna be fucking seventy five, hopefully, like, skin like leather.

• 1:07:05Bill Maher?

  I'm telling you, if you live, it's a terrible move.

• 1:07:08Speaker 03

  Yeah, really, career ended, alright, fuck it.

• 1:07:10Bill Maher?

  I mean, come on, man.

• 1:07:11Speaker 03

  Come on, them bollocks.

• 1:07:13Bill Maher?

  No, but, it, it is true. I mean, he, he's, he's blown up beyond proportion because he died, that always happens.

• 1:07:19Speaker 03

  I mean, he was phenomenal, that's what I've learnt this year.

• 1:07:22Bill Maher?

  But he also was, but yeah, but they were also great. The, the stuff they did put out, uh, was mostly good. Not everything, not every, anything anybody puts out is good. But a lot of their shit, first of all, they had like, the backing band was jazz. You know, the backing band was not a typical rock band.

• 1:07:40Speaker 03

  No, it wasn't.

• 1:07:41Bill Maher?

  So you, so you had a much more sophisticated sound.

• 1:07:43Speaker 03

  I agree, and I think the thing about it is, is that, I think when you think about rock stars or rock music, like, it's such a strange thing, such a, um, a genre of, almost now, a genre of rules, you know what I mean? It's like, almost like a sacred thing at a museum where you take the fucking rope back and be like, this is rock music, but if it's anything different, you can't be in this exhibition, you know what I mean?

• 1:08:06Bill Maher?

  That's how you think of it?

• 1:08:07Speaker 03

  Sometimes, I think, I think rock music is a beautiful genre because it's so, it's, it's sacred. Sometimes it was a thing of the past, but it's beautiful right now to be a part of a new movement within it. The thing about.

• 1:08:21Bill Maher?

  It never went away.

• 1:08:23Speaker 03

  No, it never went away. That's why I love it. That's why I love it.

• 1:08:25Bill Maher?

  You're right. It was superseded by rap and Taylor Swift.

• 1:08:29Speaker 03

  In terms of the mainstream, right, but it was never, like, I, I'm obsessed with rock music. So what? I grew up in a guitar shop. I'm like, what the fuck? I was obsessed with rock stars since I was three years old. But the, like, the thing about the doors is, it's such a prime example. Rock music is defined by its attitude and its frontman. Because it's rooted in jazz music and the fucking weird synthesizers. And it's not, it's not heavy guitars. It's not the kinks in the same, in the same era. It's not the kinks. It's not, let's play the Who, let's fuck, like, it's not fuck you.

• 1:09:07Bill Maher?

  No, it isn't.

• 1:09:07Speaker 03

  It's a lot more poetic, intellectual, um.

• 1:09:12Bill Maher?

  Yes.

• 1:09:12Speaker 03

  Uh.

• 1:09:13Bill Maher?

  It's a.

• 1:09:14Speaker 03

  Turned up nose, kind of, but it's, in the same way, it's still fuck you.

• 1:09:20Bill Maher?

  And he also dropped his pants famously.

• 1:09:22Speaker 03

  He did, man. He fucking did.

• 1:09:23Bill Maher?

  And then masturbated on the front row.

• 1:09:25Speaker 03

  Crazy bastard.

• 1:09:26Bill Maher?

  You're so right about that. I mean, uh, if you listen to, like, The End, that eleven minute song, which is in Apocalypse Now.

• 1:09:34Speaker 03

  Do you ever can't sleep?

• 1:09:35Bill Maher?

  It's like.

• 1:09:36Speaker 03

  I put that on the bus and I've got me fucking vibes on. My vibes, I always put drapes. I was a spider there.

• 1:09:43Bill Maher?

  Yeah, it's okay.

• 1:09:44Speaker 03

  No, I love it. That's, um.

• 1:09:45Bill Maher?

  I'll tell you something. After my dog died and I go back into the closet to put the lanterns there. And there were these two spiders down and I usually just see one and they were like two inches apart. And it looked at me like off the ground because they're on their web thing.

• 1:10:01Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:10:02Bill Maher?

  And it just looked like they were boyfriend and girlfriend.

• 1:10:04Speaker 03

  Oh, that's cool.

• 1:10:05Bill Maher?

  And I thought, normally I would kill you guys, but.

• 1:10:08Speaker 03

  But you're having a good time.

• 1:10:09Bill Maher?

  Not tonight. No more animals are gonna die tonight, even though I don't really wanna sleep in this bedroom with spiders crawling around.

• 1:10:18Speaker 03

  I'm gonna let you vibe out. I love it. I love the spiders, man. Do you know what?

• 1:10:24Bill Maher?

  So.

• 1:10:24Speaker 03

  Honestly, I think they're so fucking cool.

• 1:10:26Bill Maher?

  But that was a week ago. I'm gonna kill this motherfucker. Where is this spider?

• 1:10:30Speaker 03

  He's here, look, he's on, don't kill the spider on the thing.

• 1:10:32Bill Maher?

  No.

• 1:10:33Speaker 03

  He's here, look, he's here, he's chilling here.

• 1:10:34Bill Maher?

  Oh, he's, he's that?

• 1:10:35Speaker 03

  He's on the lamp.

• 1:10:36Bill Maher?

  Oh, that one.

• 1:10:37Speaker 03

  Look, he's riding.

• 1:10:38Bill Maher?

  Yeah. We're not gonna kill him.

• 1:10:41Speaker 03

  Hey, bud.

• 1:10:42Bill Maher?

  Isn't this cool?

• 1:10:43Speaker 03

  Yeah, this is so sick.

• 1:10:45Bill Maher?

  Have you noticed that this guy looks just like Kanye?

• 1:10:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, I did think that earlier.

• 1:10:49Bill Maher?

  Isn't that weird?

• 1:10:50Speaker 03

  Is that Kanye, Ed?

• 1:10:51Bill Maher?

  No.

• 1:10:51Speaker 03

  Who is it?

• 1:10:52Bill Maher?

  I, I don't know, this is like from before Kanye was nearly on this scene.

• 1:10:56Speaker 03

  That looks like Elvis, and it looks like Kanye.

• 1:10:57Bill Maher?

  And it does a little like Elvis.

• 1:10:59Speaker 03

  Honestly, when I walked in, I was a bit like, why the fuck is this guy?

• 1:11:01Bill Maher?

  You're a bit like Elvis.

• 1:11:03Speaker 03

  Oh, do you like, oh, really?

• 1:11:04Bill Maher?

  And I'm a huge Elvis fan.

• 1:11:05Speaker 03

  I love Elvis.

• 1:11:06Bill Maher?

  You do?

• 1:11:07Speaker 03

  Elvis is a killer.

• 1:11:08Bill Maher?

  Oh. Do you really know his, all his stuff?

• 1:11:10Speaker 03

  Not really.

• 1:11:11Bill Maher?

  Okay, I should play you his stuff because like, I'm not a fan of like the early Elvis, when he first came. You know, I mean, Heartbreak Hotel, the first one, that's pretty good.

• 1:11:22Speaker 03

  I mean, yeah.

• 1:11:23Bill Maher?

  You could sing that one.

• 1:11:24Speaker 03

  Yeah, man, that'd be sick.

• 1:11:25Bill Maher?

  Since my baby left me.

• 1:11:27Speaker 03

  Go on, man, I love it.

• 1:11:29Bill Maher?

  I found a place to dwell. And down the end of lonely street.

• 1:11:35Speaker 03

  Go on, man.

• 1:11:35Bill Maher?

  Heartbreak Hotel.

• 1:11:36Speaker 03

  I love that. Do you like the film? Do you like the film or not?

• 1:11:40Bill Maher?

  No, he, he made terrible movies. I mean, he made a few at the beginning when they were using him as an actor, and he could have been a great actor, but that fucking criminal who was his manager.

• 1:11:49Speaker 03

  Colonel.

• 1:11:50Bill Maher?

  Put, yeah, the Colonel, put him in all these Travelogue movies, because they made money.

• 1:11:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, weird.

• 1:11:56Bill Maher?

  But when he got, so I'm not a fan of that, I mean, he started in fifty-six, he had two amazing years of like, ten, hun, hundreds, but like dozen hits, but none of them that I'm interested in. Then he went in the army. Then he did the movies with all those movie, songs, forgettable. When he came out of the movie contract in nineteen sixty-eight, and he did the comeback special, from then until he,

• 1:12:22Speaker 03

  That fucking leather suit, man.

• 1:12:23Bill Maher?

  From then until he died, that period, people don't know this, he had, he was given a great batch of songs, like, like Suspicious Minds.

• 1:12:34Speaker 03

  We can go on together with suspicious minds.

• 1:12:39Bill Maher?

  I mean, what a, what a song.

• 1:12:41Speaker 03

  We can build our dreams on suspicious minds. Great, man. I love that shit.

• 1:12:49Bill Maher?

  You should do that one.

• 1:12:50Speaker 03

  That's a good idea.

• 1:12:51Bill Maher?

  Um, from, from like sixty-eight to Ben, when he died in seventy-seven, that decade, he had a great band. Nobody ever says this. He had a great band and he had, and he had a great batch of songs. Not all of them, but um, a lot of them. And some of them are, people don't know, but a lot of them are terrific and they're, and they're mature. They're not like that early.

• 1:13:15Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:13:20Speaker 03

  What? What did you say? What the fuck did you say?

• 1:13:23Bill Maher?

  I know, it's.

• 1:13:27Speaker 03

  What?

• 1:13:30Speaker 03

  What the fuck did you say? Yeah, I mean, right.

• 1:13:33Bill Maher?

  You know, I mean, he was a bit of a parody of himself. A little karate.

• 1:13:37Speaker 03

  Yeah. Look out, man. Have you seen that Jack White thing? Look out, man. Those are two guns being a little karate. Look out, man. I love that shit.

• 1:13:46Bill Maher?

  Right there.

• 1:13:46Speaker 03

  Have you seen that, uh, what's that spin-off with, uh?

• 1:13:49Bill Maher?

  Walk Hard.

• 1:13:49Speaker 03

  Just Walk Hard.

• 1:13:50Bill Maher?

  Hysterical.

• 1:13:51Speaker 03

  Walk Hard.

• 1:13:52Bill Maher?

  Yeah, that.

• 1:13:52Speaker 03

  I want ten thousand Digger Dudes. I love that film. I want sixteen ghosts and ten thousand Digger Dudes.

• 1:13:58Bill Maher?

  And the little cameo that the guy does as Elvis is hysterical.

• 1:14:02Speaker 03

  Oh, it's so good. Yeah, Jack, it's Jack White and the White Stripes.

• 1:14:06Bill Maher?

  Is that who did that?

• 1:14:06Speaker 03

  Plays Elvis.

• 1:14:07Bill Maher?

  You're kidding.

• 1:14:08Speaker 03

  Promise you.

• 1:14:08Bill Maher?

  That's who did that?

• 1:14:09Speaker 03

  Look out, man. Look out, man.

• 1:14:12Bill Maher?

  That's Jack White?

• 1:14:13Speaker 03

  That's Jack White.

• 1:14:15Bill Maher?

  Well, thank you.

• 1:14:15Speaker 03

  Look out, man. I love that fucking film.

• 1:14:18Bill Maher?

  See, that's why I say.

• 1:14:19Speaker 03

  I watch on the bus all the time with the guys. I fucking love that film.

• 1:14:22Bill Maher?

  I do too.

• 1:14:23Speaker 03

  Walk Hard.

• 1:14:24Bill Maher?

  That's Judd Apatow.

• 1:14:25Speaker 03

  Yeah, so good.

• 1:14:26Bill Maher?

  I mean, that.

• 1:14:28Speaker 03

  L'Oreal, man.

• 1:14:29Bill Maher?

  The giraffe that he has in the backyard. You know, the line I love is it's like.

• 1:14:37Bill Maher?

  I'm gonna miss some of the kids' birthdays. I'm gonna miss some of their births.

• 1:14:42Speaker 03

  John C. Reilly in that is fucking great, man.

• 1:14:45Bill Maher?

  And then, and then when they, the Beatles part, when the Beatles come in.

• 1:14:48Speaker 03

  Hello, we're the Beatles. We're taking some time in India. Jack, Jack Black. Alright, oh, hello. More than you could possibly imagine. I love that bit.

• 1:14:59Bill Maher?

  And the Dylan section, where he's singing the song for the midgets.

• 1:15:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, so good.

• 1:15:04Bill Maher?

  That is genius comedy.

• 1:15:06Speaker 03

  Imagine. I fucking love it, man. What a film. So good.

• 1:15:10Bill Maher?

  That is genius comedy.

• 1:15:11Speaker 03

  So fucking good, man.

• 1:15:13Bill Maher?

  He's so good. Alright, well, I'm glad we agree on that.

• 1:15:16Speaker 03

  I'm glad we agree on that, too.

• 1:15:18Bill Maher?

  So you can really drink.

• 1:15:20Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:15:20Bill Maher?

  I thought I was.

• 1:15:21Speaker 03

  I'm English, aren't I? So I fucking drink back in it.

• 1:15:24Bill Maher?

  That's the, that's the thing about England is that they go to pubs where the, um, generations mix.

• 1:15:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, you're right.

• 1:15:33Bill Maher?

  Which is what we don't do in America. Like, you go to the corner.

• 1:15:36Speaker 03

  You know, I love that because I remember every Christmas,

• 1:15:41Speaker 03

  I really feel lucky because I would almost feel insecure as fuck with me dad's and my grandfather's mates because they would quiz me a lot on like music and history and blah, blah, blah. So I'd, I'd like learn a lot of stuff which helped me later on in life when I was kind of, I don't know, like talking to all the rock stars or whatever. They'd be like, do you know these records? And I'm like, yeah, because I would feel like such shit at 12 for not knowing like fucking Screaming Jay Hawkins or some shit.

• 1:16:13Bill Maher?

  Really?

• 1:16:13Speaker 03

  So I'd go and find that myself. I, I think like when I was like 12 or 13, I'd be taken to a pub and they'd give me like a shandy, which is not.

• 1:16:23Bill Maher?

  Taken by who?

• 1:16:24Speaker 03

  Well, my dad.

• 1:16:25Bill Maher?

  Would take you to a pub at 12?

• 1:16:27Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:16:27Bill Maher?

  Here, they'd call child services.

• 1:16:29Speaker 03

  Well, nah, they're fucking, well, it's weird, isn't it? Because I loved it because I was like, I'd be like sat.

• 1:16:34Bill Maher?

  Oh, sure, I would have loved it too.

• 1:16:36Speaker 03

  We'd like break, we'd break. In the UK, you'd break like, you open a bag of crisps and then you, you share it in the table. You don't eat a bag of chips by yourself. Crisps.

• 1:16:46Bill Maher?

  Oh, chips.

• 1:16:47Speaker 03

  Chips. So you crack a bag of crisps and then you, and then you put it on the table so you all share a bag of crisps. Like, you don't have one individually.

• 1:16:57Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 1:16:58Speaker 03

  So then I'd be like.

• 1:16:58Bill Maher?

  We do that here, too.

• 1:16:59Speaker 03

  Yeah, all right, sorry, fuck, just shoot.

• 1:17:01Bill Maher?

  We're not that big of an asshole. We all have our own bag of chips.

• 1:17:06Speaker 03

  It's like extra portion size, isn't it?

• 1:17:08Bill Maher?

  Oh, the English superior.

• 1:17:11Speaker 03

  And I'd have a shandy.

• 1:17:11Bill Maher?

  They shared chips.

• 1:17:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, fair, fair, sorry. And I'd have half a beer and half lemonade, and I'd have a shandy at 12. And I'd like sink.

• 1:17:20Bill Maher?

  I don't think it's the worst thing in the world to introduce a 12-year-old to the concept of.

• 1:17:27Speaker 03

  No, having a pint, yeah, I think that's why.

• 1:17:30Bill Maher?

  A pint is a little much.

• 1:17:32Speaker 03

  Nah, it's all right.

• 1:17:33Bill Maher?

  But, but like, kids have to understand that there are in this world two different realities. There's the one you're born with, and if you're a person who's completely sober your whole life, like our president, never had a drink, okay. But then most people discover at some point, through whatever drug, whether it's liquor or whether it's pot, something that, oh, there's a way where my mind is like, kind of like, twisted over to here with some advantages and maybe some terrible disadvantages. But it's like, there are two.

• 1:18:06Speaker 03

  You know what was cool about me dad? Me dad always said, right, drink as much as you want. But, but, you're fucking cleaning it up.

• 1:18:15Bill Maher?

  Well, I wouldn't put this on page one of the parent's guide.

• 1:18:19Speaker 03

  No. But you know what? I genuinely think that's why I've never abused any substance. Because I always felt empowered to go there if I wanted. It was never an act of rebellion. Do you know what I mean? I was like, me dad was like, if you want a fucking beer, I mean, I was like, 13, 14. Me dad was like, if you want a beer, have a beer. But if I had five beers, and at 14, I'm like, oh, I feel ill. He's like, yeah, that's what it does to you.

• 1:18:45Bill Maher?

  But why do you think so many rock stars fall victim to drug abuse? You'd think drugs being the thing that people take to get away from reality, it'd be the last thing someone whose reality is so great to begin with would want to do.

• 1:19:02Speaker 03

  To me, it's a sense of control of your own destiny. Because even though it makes you feel out of control, you're like, this is the one thing in the world that I can do that no one can kind of monitor, I would say. I'd be like, I can go to this place.

• 1:19:26Speaker 03

  And I'm gonna be on my own trip. And no one can change my trip. It's all internal.

• 1:19:33Bill Maher?

  You know why the Doors are called The Doors?

• 1:19:35Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:19:36Bill Maher?

  Because there's a book by an Englishman Aldous Huxley called The Doors of Perception.

• 1:19:43Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 1:19:44Bill Maher?

  And it's about drugs. And it's saying drugs open the doors of perception. And that's why they took that name.

• 1:19:52Speaker 03

  Yeah, I love, one of my favorite Jim Morrison things was like, some mad reporter was trying to slate him was like, oh, well, your recent poetry's not been well reviewed. Blah, blah, blah, blah, all this shit. And his response was like, oh, I just don't think they get it, I guess. I was like, wow.

• 1:20:13Bill Maher?

  But why?

• 1:20:14Speaker 03

  I loved, I know I loved that because he was very much like, art is such a strange, you know, when like someone reviews an album? I found that such a crazy concept. How the fuck can you review an album?

• 1:20:25Bill Maher?

  I was just saying this to, we did Billy Joel. You should listen to it, you'll love it, it's on. And I said the exact same thing.

• 1:20:33Speaker 03

  How the fuck can someone review an album?

• 1:20:34Bill Maher?

  You can't review music. It's like it hits you or it doesn't. So they review the lyrics, which is a dumb thing because it's music, it's not lyrics.

• 1:20:43Speaker 03

  True to someone, the thing about it is right, like, you take a young artist who comes out of the gate and is like really excited and people love it and blah. And then fucking Pitchfork or Rolling Stone give it like a two out of five. How the fuck do you do that? Someone has just been like, sat in their room and been like, this is what I feel about the world, this is what I think.

• 1:21:03Bill Maher?

  Because Rolling Stone wants to tell you what music is important. And I could give a fuck what music is important. Music isn't important. That's why I love it. It's not important. It's pleasurable.

• 1:21:18Speaker 03

  Yeah, and it's, and it's, it's, it's someone's spirit or someone's opinion of the world. That's what music is. Music or art in any regard intellectualized takes the fun out of it. Like, my vibe is like, once you see some cunt intellectualizing a Picasso or some shit, I bet he woke up, took a shit and painted it. And was just like, that's, that looks great. You know what I'm saying? I don't think it was that deep being like, what was he going through when he made?

• 1:21:46Bill Maher?

  It's not.

• 1:21:47Speaker 03

  You know what I mean?

• 1:21:47Bill Maher?

  You're right.

• 1:21:48Speaker 03

  And can I tell you when you make songs? You don't really think about it. You just kind of, that's the beauty of writing music, right? It's like.

• 1:21:56Bill Maher?

  Yes.

• 1:21:56Speaker 03

  You tap into a thing that is inexplorable, that you shut your eyes, you open your mouth and some crazy shit comes out that your subconscious wanted to say.

• 1:22:09Bill Maher?

  Correct.

• 1:22:10Speaker 03

  Without thinking about it.

• 1:22:12Bill Maher?

  And that's what we are, like what us fans, you know, the common people, what we, we're connecting to certain things. That is one of them.

• 1:22:21Speaker 03

  Because.

• 1:22:22Bill Maher?

  Like something, when you sense something is.

• 1:22:24Speaker 03

  Exactly, because.

• 1:22:25Bill Maher?

  Beyond the intellectual, because most of us spend too much time in our own heads.

• 1:22:30Speaker 03

  Yeah, because this fucking thing floating above our heads right now, the subconscious, is how we connect.

• 1:22:35Bill Maher?

  Right. The other thing we connect to, of course, is just raw sexuality.

• 1:22:39Speaker 03

  Completely.

• 1:22:40Bill Maher?

  That's always gonna be attractive. Okay.

• 1:22:42Speaker 03

  I mean, I agree.

• 1:22:43Bill Maher?

  And then what we're connecting to, especially women, is that music enunciates what men, who are stilted usually emotionally, just can't say out loud. So they hear, they hear the singer saying, "You are my everything." You know, it's usually bullshit, because they're with groupies on the tour bus. But they're singing it.

• 1:23:10Bill Maher?

  They're singing it. It doesn't matter if it's bullshit. You are my, you are once, twice, three times a lady.

• 1:23:18Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm in it with.

• 1:23:19Bill Maher?

  And tonight I'm with three ladies. But it does, but it doesn't matter.

• 1:23:26Speaker 03

  No, it doesn't matter.

• 1:23:27Bill Maher?

  They wanna hear it.

• 1:23:28Speaker 03

  I agree.

• 1:23:29Bill Maher?

  And who can blame them? I wanna hear it.

• 1:23:31Speaker 03

  No, and that's the vibe. Can I have a piss? I am busting for a fucking piss.

• 1:23:37Bill Maher?

  Now, a piss, you English, I happen to know, when you say I'm pissed, it means you're drunk.

• 1:23:43Speaker 03

  No, I'm not pissed.

• 1:23:44Bill Maher?

  I'm joking.

• 1:23:45Speaker 03

  Can I have a piss?

• 1:23:45Bill Maher?

  Go ahead, go ahead.

• 1:23:46Speaker 03

  Where's the toilet?

• 1:23:47Bill Maher?

  It's right over there.

• 1:23:48Speaker 03

  All right, what about in this man cave?

• 1:23:50Bill Maher?

  And luckily your pants are always half off.

• 1:23:53Speaker 03

  I'm telling you, they are. Is it here?

• 1:23:55Bill Maher?

  No.

• 1:23:56Speaker 03

  This way?

• 1:23:56Bill Maher?

  No, no, no, no, no, back the other way.

• 1:23:58Speaker 03

  This way, all right.

• 1:23:59Bill Maher?

  There you go. And then, see, yeah, it's hard to find the door. There you go.

• 1:24:03Speaker 03

  Oh, great.

• 1:24:04Bill Maher?

  There you go.

• 1:24:05Speaker 03

  What a vibe.

• 1:24:06Bill Maher?

  Boys' pants are half off.

• 1:24:07Speaker 03

  What a fucking vibe, man.

• 1:24:11Speaker 03

  What a fucking vibe in here, man.

• 1:24:13Bill Maher?

  I told you. I tell ya, that was quite a piss. I heard it from here.

• 1:24:18Speaker 03

  Could you hear it?

• 1:24:19Bill Maher?

  I, I.

• 1:24:20Speaker 03

  I'm telling you, I was buzzing because I was late, so I didn't get to piss in the car.

• 1:24:24Bill Maher?

  I was, I said, I bet you this guy hasn't pissed since Japan.

• 1:24:28Speaker 03

  Bro.

• 1:24:33Speaker 03

  I haven't had a piss since Japan, but.

• 1:24:34Bill Maher?

  I, I have to say.

• 1:24:36Speaker 03

  I'm telling you, I was holding that in for about an hour.

• 1:24:37Bill Maher?

  I'm telling you, as a man of 70, who's in fine health, and I have no complaints, but while you can piss like that, just note it, because it will not last for.

• 1:24:49Speaker 03

  Oh, really? You can't piss out?

• 1:24:50Bill Maher?

  Yeah, you'll be fine, but, I mean, that's like the old saying, he pissed like a racehorse.

• 1:24:56Speaker 03

  Yeah, I did.

• 1:24:56Bill Maher?

  I mean, when you can hear it through a door from 50 feet away, that is quite a piss.

• 1:25:03Speaker 03

  Yes, I've been holding it in since Japan, yeah.

• 1:25:05Bill Maher?

  That's quite a piss.

• 1:25:07Speaker 03

  Why does it take you a second?

• 1:25:09Bill Maher?

  No.

• 1:25:09Speaker 03

  I think it's starting to take me dad, dad a second.

• 1:25:12Bill Maher?

  Okay.

• 1:25:12Speaker 03

  If you're like, if you're in the urinal, and you're like, standing like, side to side like that.

• 1:25:16Bill Maher?

  Okay.

• 1:25:16Speaker 03

  Like, I go straight away.

• 1:25:18Bill Maher?

  Okay, well, sit down, first of all, second.

• 1:25:20Speaker 03

  I'm just explaining my point now.

• 1:25:21Bill Maher?

  I understand. I just, I just heard you pissed.

• 1:25:24Speaker 03

  If I'm stood there, you're stood there.

• 1:25:26Bill Maher?

  Sit the fuck down, limey.

• 1:25:28Speaker 03

  It's gonna take you a sec. Limey, I love it. You limey cunt, I like it. You fucking limey cunt.

• 1:25:35Bill Maher?

  We're not gonna talk about me pissing, it's all, it's all good, and it doesn't matter in life.

• 1:25:40Speaker 03

  No, it doesn't matter.

• 1:25:41Bill Maher?

  But I'm just saying, enjoy the things that I'm telling you, you will not have forever while you have them, because after you lose them, you'll be like, oh wow, I wish I, like.

• 1:25:51Speaker 03

  Could piss like a racehorse.

• 1:25:52Bill Maher?

  I wish, I wish I could, I wish I had like, sort of at the time it was happening, been happy about that, because I must say, I've gotten pretty good about that, especially since I've, I mean, I've lived here about 25 years, it's a lovely place to live.

• 1:26:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, this house is lovely, by the way, I would like to compliment you on that, it was a beautiful vibe.

• 1:26:12Bill Maher?

  And I really never forget. Every day, how lucky I am to live here. Because I used to live in shitholes. So like, it's good to live in a shithole. It's better when you get to live in a nice baller bed. But if you do, it's like, yeah, I never have a day where I don't think, oh wow, this is, yeah, jing.

• 1:26:34Speaker 03

  On the jing vibe, man. Telling you, you've got me hooked on this jing shit. Can I take some of this when I leave?

• 1:26:40Bill Maher?

  I'm gonna give you.

• 1:26:40Speaker 03

  I love it, man. We're gonna get blackout drunk, me and you.

• 1:26:43Bill Maher?

  Well, you know, the only time I drink really anymore is.

• 1:26:46Speaker 03

  Is on the pot.

• 1:26:47Bill Maher?

  Is right here.

• 1:26:48Speaker 03

  What a killer.

• 1:26:49Bill Maher?

  But there are people who I enjoy drinking with more and less. And you are one of the ones I really.

• 1:26:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, I have a good time drinking.

• 1:26:57Bill Maher?

  You are, you are, you are meant for club random. You are the, you were born a rock star and you were born a club random guest.

• 1:27:06Speaker 03

  I'm into the club random vibe. I'll just stay here. Just lock me, just fucking tighten me up.

• 1:27:11Bill Maher?

  I'm sure you will.

• 1:27:12Speaker 03

  Telling you, tighten, just put another chair up. Me and you will give the guests hell.

• 1:27:16Bill Maher?

  I'm gonna have to get a plumber to see what you did to that toilet.

• 1:27:18Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm telling you, overflowing, I'm telling you.

• 1:27:20Bill Maher?

  Overflowing, you probably knocked it off its rafters.

• 1:27:23Speaker 03

  It was clear. I'm hydrated.

• 1:27:28Bill Maher?

  How is the flight from Japan? That must be a killer.

• 1:27:31Speaker 03

  Do you know what? Japan is the worst fucking time zone.

• 1:27:36Bill Maher?

  Why?

• 1:27:36Speaker 03

  Because it's like, when you're like trying to sleep, it's 4am London or like, and like 6pm LA. So it's like right in the middle.

• 1:27:46Speaker 03

  But the flight was alright.

• 1:27:47Bill Maher?

  Oh, good.

• 1:27:48Speaker 03

  I had some ramen and some noodles.

• 1:27:51Bill Maher?

  Is that what they serve on Japan?

• 1:27:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's fucking great.

• 1:27:54Bill Maher?

  Really?

• 1:27:54Speaker 03

  Telling you.

• 1:27:55Bill Maher?

  So they go with the.

• 1:27:56Speaker 03

  They've got a waggy steak and shit. I don't really eat on planes.

• 1:28:00Bill Maher?

  No, but I mean, on Japan Airlines, you get the ramen noodles. Is that, is that what you're saying?

• 1:28:04Speaker 03

  I got the ramen noodles.

• 1:28:06Bill Maher?

  And sushi?

• 1:28:06Speaker 03

  No, no sushi, not on a plane, fucking no.

• 1:28:09Bill Maher?

  I'm not a sushi.

• 1:28:09Speaker 03

  Shit myself.

• 1:28:10Bill Maher?

  No, I don't like sushi.

• 1:28:12Speaker 03

  I don't like sushi as well.

• 1:28:13Bill Maher?

  I don't get it. Oh, yeah.

• 1:28:15Speaker 03

  I don't like sushi.

• 1:28:16Bill Maher?

  It's fucking.

• 1:28:17Speaker 03

  I think it's weird. Why don't I want to eat something raw?

• 1:28:19Bill Maher?

  I just want to always say to the restaurant, you're a restaurant, could you cook the food?

• 1:28:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm fully like, I'm like, if I got the sushi.

• 1:28:25Bill Maher?

  I could do that at home. Just buy something out of a package and eat it.

• 1:28:29Speaker 03

  Catch a fish in it.

• 1:28:30Bill Maher?

  It's gross. And I don't understand why it is so popular.

• 1:28:34Speaker 03

  No, I'm into it.

• 1:28:35Bill Maher?

  There are people who only want to eat sushi.

• 1:28:37Speaker 03

  Tried it, I can't do it. I've tried it to be sophisticated. You know, like, I remember coming to LA. The label took me to Nobu, right? And I went there and I was like-

• 1:28:48Bill Maher?

  Means they like you.

• 1:28:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, I was like, wow.

• 1:28:50Bill Maher?

  Cause that's like the-

• 1:28:50Speaker 03

  Cause I'm from Donny, Doncaster, right?

• 1:28:52Bill Maher?

  I'm just saying, for the people who don't know, Nobu is like one of the top, topper, toppest, most restaurant. Yeah, I would never, I wouldn't be caught dead there, nor would they invite me.

• 1:29:04Speaker 03

  I was in it.

• 1:29:04Bill Maher?

  But, like, it's just not my kind of place because it's full of, you know- It's full of cunts and sushi.

• 1:29:13Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:29:13Bill Maher?

  Two things I don't like.

• 1:29:15Speaker 03

  Two least sacred things, I agree with you. And it took me there.

• 1:29:18Bill Maher?

  No, I'm sure there's some wonderful people there. Robert De Niro owns it and he's a great guy.

• 1:29:22Speaker 03

  Oh, does he own it?

• 1:29:23Bill Maher?

  Yeah, well, he's certainly one of the main-

• 1:29:24Speaker 03

  Fuck, I love Robert De Niro. Why do you own Nobu, man?

• 1:29:26Bill Maher?

  I love Robert De Niro too and he's a great guy. Uh, but I don't like sushi.

• 1:29:31Speaker 03

  I don't like sushi.

• 1:29:32Bill Maher?

  And, and he can't help it that because he's Robert De Niro, it attracts, you know, that kind of snobby type of, which is fine in some settings.

• 1:29:41Speaker 03

  Paparazzi vibe, isn't it?

• 1:29:42Bill Maher?

  I like a good Hollywood party. Um, I, I feel like it's like a petting zoo.

• 1:29:46Speaker 03

  I'd just rather go to a steakhouse.

• 1:29:47Bill Maher?

  You ever go to the, like, the Oscar party?

• 1:29:49Speaker 03

  No, I've never been to the Oscars. I didn't get invited.

• 1:29:51Bill Maher?

  You, well, you will. I'm telling you, you're right. You're coming right up to that moment where they will want you at the Oscar party. It's fantastic to stand in a room and everywhere you look, there's a star. It's fun, it's fun. As long as you don't take it seriously.

• 1:30:07Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, I agree.

• 1:30:07Bill Maher?

  But, you know, it's like, oh, look, I could talk to Harrison Ford. Or I could, you know, I could talk to Nicole, you know.

• 1:30:13Speaker 03

  That'd be cool.

• 1:30:13Bill Maher?

  Or, you know, at least I could come up and say, hi, we're at the same party.

• 1:30:17Speaker 03

  I agree.

• 1:30:17Bill Maher?

  Cause when you're at the same party, I've had people come up to me at parties and say, can I talk to you? I'm like, you're at a, I'm at a-

• 1:30:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, let's talk.

• 1:30:24Bill Maher?

  I'm at the same party as you.

• 1:30:25Speaker 03

  Yeah, let's talk.

• 1:30:26Bill Maher?

  If I come to this party voluntarily, you can, everybody can talk to anybody else. We're at a private party.

• 1:30:33Speaker 03

  I agree, I love that vibe.

• 1:30:34Bill Maher?

  Yes.

• 1:30:35Speaker 03

  I love that vibe. But, yeah, I don't like sushi. I fucking hate sushi.

• 1:30:39Bill Maher?

  I do too.

• 1:30:40Speaker 03

  I just don't get the concept of it, like-

• 1:30:42Bill Maher?

  I don't either. It's not cooked.

• 1:30:45Speaker 03

  I'm trying to be polite, honestly. I remember the top-

• 1:30:47Bill Maher?

  And it's full of mercury.

• 1:30:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, they took me to a fucking Nobu when I first came. And I'm like, wow, we're really gonna make it. And I was like, eating this shit. I was like, I wish you would have taken me to In-N-Out.

• 1:30:59Bill Maher?

  But given that Scouse accent you have, I would guess you like fish and chips.

• 1:31:03Speaker 03

  I love fish and chip.

• 1:31:04Bill Maher?

  Of course you do.

• 1:31:05Speaker 03

  Do you like fish and chip?

• 1:31:06Bill Maher?

  No, of course not. I'm not English.

• 1:31:08Speaker 03

  Well, you haven't been to the right fish and chip shop then.

• 1:31:10Bill Maher?

  I'm never gonna like it.

• 1:31:11Speaker 03

  You are. I'm telling you, if I take you to my fish and chip shop in Doncaster, Rothwell's, I'm telling you, you're gonna be like, wow.

• 1:31:18Bill Maher?

  Okay, I'm gonna tell you why.

• 1:31:19Speaker 03

  Thank you, promise. I'm telling you, I'll take you to my fucking chips.

• 1:31:22Bill Maher?

  I'm gonna tell you why I will never like it.

• 1:31:24Speaker 03

  Go on then.

• 1:31:24Bill Maher?

  Okay.

• 1:31:25Speaker 03

  You like fish?

• 1:31:26Bill Maher?

  There was a talk show in this country, a guy named Merv Griffin.

• 1:31:34Speaker 03

  Never heard of him.

• 1:31:34Bill Maher?

  I'm sure you haven't. He was a sweet man, very, you know, he was a, he might have chased a boy or two around a hotel room.

• 1:31:43Speaker 03

  Not for.

• 1:31:44Bill Maher?

  You know.

• 1:31:45Speaker 03

  Go on.

• 1:31:45Bill Maher?

  But a lovely man. I did his show many times. And he had a sidekick named Arthur Treacher, who was English. He played the English butler in a lot of old movies.

• 1:31:54Speaker 03

  Alright, cool.

• 1:31:55Bill Maher?

  And they used him as like a second banana on American TV. And he opened, he was popular enough, they would open a string of fast food places with English food called Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips.

• 1:32:07Speaker 03

  In America?

• 1:32:08Bill Maher?

  And when I was in college, I worked there, throwing pieces of fish batter

• 1:32:12Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, fuck that, yeah.

• 1:32:13Bill Maher?

  into a vat of grease, which would bounce back and burn my arms.

• 1:32:18Speaker 03

  Burn your arms, yeah.

• 1:32:19Bill Maher?

  I will never have fish and chips.

• 1:32:21Speaker 03

  Alright, fair. Fuck. Alright, but I'll bring it to your house. I'll bring a chip butter next time. The problem is here, the fish and chips is, in America, Indian food and fish and chips is dog shit.

• 1:32:33Bill Maher?

  I love Indian food.

• 1:32:34Speaker 03

  I love Indian food. Love it.

• 1:32:36Bill Maher?

  It never really agrees with me, but it's, I don't know what, there's maybe a lot of oil in there.

• 1:32:42Speaker 03

  Are you in London a lot?

• 1:32:43Bill Maher?

  I'm not in London a lot, but I've been there five times.

• 1:32:46Speaker 03

  I'm gonna get your number, but next time you're in London, I'm gonna, I'm gonna blow your mind.

• 1:32:49Bill Maher?

  I may not be able to ever make it to London.

• 1:32:51Speaker 03

  Why?

• 1:32:52Bill Maher?

  I, I just don't know if I ever wanna leave the country again. I never sleep. Speaking of sleep, when I go overseas.

• 1:32:59Speaker 03

  I don't, I don't fucking sleep.

• 1:33:00Bill Maher?

  And if you don't sleep, you just don't feel right.

• 1:33:03Speaker 03

  I just can't sleep. I'm trying to, you know when like, when something's happening, and like. I can't fucking sleep. I'm like this in bed like, it's crazy.

• 1:33:14Bill Maher?

  Well, you have to learn to clear your mind. I know it's very difficult.

• 1:33:20Speaker 03

  I know it's easy to say that, isn't it?

• 1:33:23Bill Maher?

  Interesting. Wow, you rock star.

• 1:33:27Speaker 03

  Rock and roll man.

• 1:33:28Bill Maher?

  A real cunt.

• 1:33:29Speaker 03

  Yeah, we are.

• 1:33:31Bill Maher?

  I mean, yeah.

• 1:33:35Bill Maher?

  Can I have some of your blood?

• 1:33:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, go on then. Nerf!

• 1:33:41Bill Maher?

  I mean Keith Richards used to do it.

• 1:33:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:33:44Bill Maher?

  What's the big deal about swapping?

• 1:33:46Speaker 03

  A bit of fucking transfusion, man. I heard about that. Keith Richards on a, like, there was two myths in school. Keith Richards used to blood transfuse every month because of his heroin addiction. And then Marilyn Manson took out two of his ribs to suck his own dick.

• 1:34:04Bill Maher?

  Yeah, the second one, I've heard them both. The second one I know is bullshit because I know Brian. I love calling him Brian whenever I see him.

• 1:34:13Speaker 03

  Is his name Brian?

• 1:34:14Bill Maher?

  Yes, of course it is.

• 1:34:15Speaker 03

  I didn't know his name was Brian.

• 1:34:16Bill Maher?

  And he's Brian. He's a kid from Ohio with a good Halloween costume and some good songs. I mean, I like some of Brian's songs.

• 1:34:24Speaker 03

  That was rough for me because he was so integral to

• 1:34:28Bill Maher?

  Oh, yeah?

• 1:34:29Speaker 03

  Me as a kid. And then when I learned that shit, it really fucked.

• 1:34:32Bill Maher?

  Yeah, The Dope Show.

• 1:34:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, all that really fucked with me because it's so strange when you hit, when someone you idolize, shit comes out about them and you're like, fuck.

• 1:34:42Bill Maher?

  No, Superstar album is great, The Dope Show. I mean, he had some great songs. He had some, he had a hot band.

• 1:34:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, man.

• 1:34:52Bill Maher?

  Twiggy the guitarist.

• 1:34:53Speaker 03

  John Five as well.

• 1:34:54Bill Maher?

  Yeah, that was not just, it was not just the Halloween costume. It was, I mean.

• 1:35:00Speaker 03

  That was serious shit.

• 1:35:01Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 1:35:02Speaker 03

  That really changed me as an individual. I remember, I remember watching, I remember watching an MTV show and someone said to him, and this was so fucking hard for me when all that shit came out. And I was like, fuck you motherfucker, because it was like.

• 1:35:21Speaker 03

  I remember him saying, someone asked him, was like, what would you say to the kids? And, and, I mean, when you're like fourteen years old, he was like, I wouldn't say anything I'd listen. And I remember being fourteen years old and being like.

• 1:35:34Bill Maher?

  Wow, yeah.

• 1:35:36Speaker 03

  Honestly, it was so sick to see.

• 1:35:38Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 1:35:38Speaker 03

  See, I looked exactly like him. I was like, in, I was like in a god, I was in a Slayer and fucking whatever. I was like.

• 1:35:44Bill Maher?

  You don't look like him, which is good. I mean, I like Brian. Like I said, if he did these things, I can't quite go there. But Brian was not a great looking guy. You're different. I mean, you're a gypsy.

• 1:35:57Speaker 03

  Gypsy boy.

• 1:35:57Bill Maher?

  You've got, you've got a look, you've got an Elvis look. He had, he had a cadaver look.

• 1:36:03Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:36:03Bill Maher?

  He looked like Biden, you know, uh, he was, and that was the look. It was, I mean, that was the gig. That was the shtick. But he, he made the most of what he had because he wasn't really, you know, a great looking guy. He was just Brian from Ohio.

• 1:36:20Speaker 03

  Brian. I didn't know his name was Brian. That's so funny. I learned something tonight. That's crazy.

• 1:36:24Bill Maher?

  Oh, yeah. Well, like I always say, every rapper sounds like a terribly hard gangster until you find out their real name.

• 1:36:32Speaker 03

  Can I tell you what? I wanna hang out, I wanna hang out with you after this podcast. I like, I love this shit. I wanna sit in this place. This is a good vibe.

• 1:36:40Bill Maher?

  I'm going out to dinner after this. Come with me.

• 1:36:42Speaker 03

  I'm, I've got a fucking rehearsal, but I would love that.

• 1:36:45Bill Maher?

  Sure.

• 1:36:45Speaker 03

  No, but my vibe is like, I fucking love this shit. I'm gonna, I'm gonna get your number after this. We're gonna do this like every week.

• 1:36:51Bill Maher?

  Well.

• 1:36:51Speaker 03

  I'm not gonna leave. You're like, motherfucker, can you leave? I'm like, no, man.

• 1:36:56Bill Maher?

  No, no, no, no, no. I'm not looking to leave. I love doing that.

• 1:36:59Speaker 03

  I love this. This is such a good vibe.

• 1:37:01Bill Maher?

  First, you know, it's like.

• 1:37:02Speaker 03

  Bottle of vodka and my jing and shit.

• 1:37:04Bill Maher?

  You got, when you got the jing. No, but it's, it's like, you know, because this is the one time I allow myself to get fucked up. Like, I'm looking forward to it no matter who's here.

• 1:37:17Speaker 03

  I've got a rehearsal after this. I'm gonna be in rehearsal like, alright man, take it from the fucking top.

• 1:37:22Bill Maher?

  What, you, tonight you have a rehearsal?

• 1:37:23Speaker 03

  I've got to do a fucking, so I've got...

• 1:37:25Bill Maher?

  What time is the rehearsal?

• 1:37:26Speaker 03

  Well, I don't know. I mean, I don't really need to go on rehearsal, because I know everything, but I should go, because it's like morale vibe. The thing about rehearsals, it's funny, because you know when you write the songs?

• 1:37:35Bill Maher?

  I, I wouldn't blow that off, if that was the reason.

• 1:37:37Speaker 03

  Do you know what? Every one of these I have, the more I'm gonna blow it off.

• 1:37:40Bill Maher?

  First of all...

• 1:37:41Speaker 03

  I'd rather go to dinner with you, to be honest.

• 1:37:43Bill Maher?

  First of all, you know, bands are not a democracy. I mean, your band isn't even called Young Blood and the Receivers.

• 1:37:52Speaker 03

  No, no.

• 1:37:53Bill Maher?

  It's just Young Blood.

• 1:37:54Speaker 03

  Young Blood, yes.

• 1:37:55Bill Maher?

  So like, you, you sound like you respect them a lot.

• 1:37:58Speaker 03

  I love them all.

• 1:37:59Bill Maher?

  You get on their bus sometimes. Okay.

• 1:38:04Bill Maher?

  You can't pay a higher respect than that. But like, you, you're the one who has to like, you know, conserve or reserve your energy in the way you best see fit. And like, showing up at,

• 1:38:21Bill Maher?

  like sort of performatory rehearsals that don't make you better, maybe diminish you because...

• 1:38:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, you are right. The thing about it is, you know when you write the songs? You know the songs.

• 1:38:31Bill Maher?

  You do. And the band does.

• 1:38:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, because the thing about it is, when, when you fucking write it, it's so weird. If I've got to learn a cover, I've got to rehearse it. If I've got to write, if I've got to play a song that I wrote, you don't rehearse it, because it came out of you. It's so weird that, because weirdly, if I write a song the day before, I know the lyrics the next day. Like, by heart, because it kind of...

• 1:38:56Bill Maher?

  I'm the same way with jokes.

• 1:38:57Speaker 03

  Yeah, because it comes out of your head.

• 1:38:59Bill Maher?

  I remember jokes that were written for me in the 90s.

• 1:39:02Speaker 03

  Well, so...

• 1:39:02Bill Maher?

  It's just where the, it just what sticks in my mind, because that's who I am.

• 1:39:07Speaker 03

  Exactly. Because, because when you write something, that your brain, it's, it's already in your muscles, I think, already in your blood flow. So like, I find rehearsals funny, because I'm like, why? I know it. Inside out and back to front.

• 1:39:23Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 1:39:23Speaker 03

  Why have I got to go to fucking Van Nuys right now and play a song we're playing on TV tomorrow that I played on tour?

• 1:39:31Bill Maher?

  You don't.

• 1:39:32Speaker 03

  I don't. I'm gonna go to dinner with you.

• 1:39:35Bill Maher?

  No, I'm not saying that for that reason, I'm just saying.

• 1:39:37Speaker 03

  Where you going to dinner, what are you gonna eat?

• 1:39:38Bill Maher?

  I don't know, we'll talk about it after.

• 1:39:41Speaker 03

  I love it, sorry, fair. Not sushi though.

• 1:39:43Bill Maher?

  Not, definitely.

• 1:39:44Speaker 03

  I'm taking your fucking elbow, fuck!

• 1:39:45Bill Maher?

  Definitely will not be sushi, and it won't be far, it'll be great, it'll be awesome. I eat right, and you will too. But, like, I'm not saying it for that reason, I'm saying because, yeah, you don't wanna leave it on the practice field,

• 1:40:00Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:40:00Bill Maher?

  as we say in America. You don't wanna leave it on the practice field.

• 1:40:05Speaker 03

  I agree.

• 1:40:06Bill Maher?

  Like Tom Brady, you know, he doesn't do the weight when he was still playing and the best one in the game. You know, he didn't like overdo it. He would get 12 hours of sleep the night before the game. Like, you don't have to, mentally, you have to overdo it.

• 1:40:24Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:40:25Bill Maher?

  But physically, you don't need the rehearsal, you know.

• 1:40:28Speaker 03

  Do you know the thing, what's strange is being too rehearsed takes the fun out of it.

• 1:40:33Bill Maher?

  Yes.

• 1:40:34Speaker 03

  Because you want, I love going on stage and being like, what the fuck's about to happen? That's the fun bit. If I fucking go on stage.

• 1:40:44Bill Maher?

  And the audience senses that.

• 1:40:45Speaker 03

  Exactly, and that's the vibe, it's like, when it's too rehearsed, the audience is like, the amount of shows I see, I'm like, like the screen and shit, like the screens and the rehearsing and the fucking, my vibe is like, that's why I love Iggy, and that's why I love Bowie, and that's why I love Jagger. It's like, that motherfucker is just gonna like.

• 1:41:06Bill Maher?

  But what do you think of concerts today? Like, I have not been.

• 1:41:09Speaker 03

  I hate screens, they're boring me.

• 1:41:11Bill Maher?

  They all have screens, right?

• 1:41:13Speaker 03

  I'm like, I.

• 1:41:13Bill Maher?

  And everybody's watching through their phone.

• 1:41:15Speaker 03

  Yeah, there's no, there's no.

• 1:41:17Bill Maher?

  Is that right?

• 1:41:17Speaker 03

  There's nothing fun about like.

• 1:41:19Bill Maher?

  Here's, here's what I know, because I haven't been in a while.

• 1:41:22Speaker 03

  Come on.

• 1:41:23Bill Maher?

  But, somebody, I won't say who.

• 1:41:27Bill Maher?

  Like I said, you gotta, please watch the Taylor Swift. It was on, I think, Disney or Apple or she sold it to somebody. She's a brilliant businesswoman. It's her tour. You know, it's the show she just did.

• 1:41:41Speaker 03

  The Reputation documentary.

• 1:41:43Bill Maher?

  Yes, I guess so. It's just what, it's the tour she just did.

• 1:41:46Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:41:46Bill Maher?

  The Eras Tour.

• 1:41:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:41:48Bill Maher?

  It's everything. It's, you know, it goes on forever. I mean, if you're a fan, it goes to.

• 1:41:54Speaker 03

  I fucking love Taylor Swift. It's weird. I love Taylor Swift.

• 1:41:57Bill Maher?

  I, I just saw her doing the Travis Kelsey podcast and I just thought, everything I don't know about her, I like her better. She, she seemed genuine, funny, cool to hang out with, which I never thought she wasn't. I just don't get the music and I never will.

• 1:42:17Speaker 03

  You know what, there's that fucking.

• 1:42:19Bill Maher?

  That doesn't matter.

• 1:42:20Speaker 03

  That Romeo sing, that first album and Red. My sisters loved that. So when I, anytime that comes on, it takes me back to a time and I was in my mom's car with my sisters. And I actually fucking love it.

• 1:42:34Bill Maher?

  Okay, yeah, I, I.

• 1:42:36Speaker 03

  Do you know, no, no. But can I tell you one thing? Lads in the pub are like, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me. Taylor Swift, I don't fuck with it. I like fucking Taylor Swift.

• 1:42:47Bill Maher?

  I could. I'm glad. I'm happy.

• 1:42:49Speaker 03

  Honestly.

• 1:42:50Bill Maher?

  I don't dislike, I like Taylor Swift. I'm just saying, I'm making a bigger point. I'm, because she's so big, you know, she's the one to make it about. Like, you don't have to like, and not everybody has to like everything. The silliest thing people do is when they go, listen to this, you'll love it. Like, maybe I won't.

• 1:43:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, maybe I won't.

• 1:43:10Bill Maher?

  And if I don't, don't argue with me.

• 1:43:12Speaker 03

  Or just be like, listen, let me know what you think.

• 1:43:14Bill Maher?

  Argue. Well, that's a little more open.

• 1:43:16Speaker 03

  My, I was like, I think it's shit.

• 1:43:18Bill Maher?

  You don't like, you don't like this? You don't like that song? No, I don't.

• 1:43:23Speaker 03

  No, I don't. I look, when I, when I'm like, yo, what do you think to this? And I was like, it's shit. I'm like. What? Really? Why? If I love something and you think it's shit, I think that's fascinating. Because that makes me go like, this hits me in my fucking balls and my heart. Why does, why do you think it's shit? I love that vibe.

• 1:43:41Bill Maher?

  There are songs that I can recognize as really good. The way, there are women I could recognize as really pretty, who I personally am not attracted to at all. But I get it. I get it. You're pretty. Not my type. I get it. This song is good. Not my type. And that's okay.

• 1:43:59Speaker 03

  I love that. That's the fucking point. That's why the world's fucked right now.

• 1:44:03Bill Maher?

  But anyway, so this is as much as I know about concerts lately, is watching the Taylor Swift endless documentary.

• 1:44:10Speaker 03

  Yeah, the documentary.

• 1:44:11Bill Maher?

  And like, every song, every kid in there is watching through their phones. I mean, when they, when they pan to the audience, it's just phones. It's like they can't perceive this thing that's going on, except through this other thing. I found that disturbing.

• 1:44:29Speaker 03

  My vibe is this. I think when people...

• 1:44:32Bill Maher?

  Is that what your shows look like?

• 1:44:33Speaker 03

  So, yes. So what happens?

• 1:44:35Bill Maher?

  Yes.

• 1:44:36Speaker 03

  I think when you walk out, I think it's just a modern thing, isn't it? Like...

• 1:44:40Bill Maher?

  It is.

• 1:44:41Speaker 03

  Because what happens is, when they leave the gig, they want to show their mom, dad, friends, whatever. Look what I did. But I always say, I'm like, do what you fucking want, because you're at the show. Experience how the fuck you want to experience it, right? My vibe is this. At, at least one show at the gig, one song out of the gig, I say, put your phones down and be in the moment. Because when I watch like Woodstock 99 or Oasis in the 90s, when you're there...

• 1:45:11Bill Maher?

  Ugly.

• 1:45:12Speaker 03

  The crowds though, the crowds are fucking vibing because... The hard thing about it is, it's like... When you're trying to get a crowd going and on the phone, it's it's one step removed because you're like,

• 1:45:27Bill Maher?

  Right.

• 1:45:27Speaker 03

  I'm watching you through a screen.

• 1:45:29Bill Maher?

  That's, yes.

• 1:45:30Speaker 03

  As opposed to, right motherfuckers, jump. But I say, if I say, yo, jump to your your human self. Like, oh, my God, I should jump. When you when you're looking at through a screen, you may as well be on Instagram.

• 1:45:43Bill Maher?

  Would you ever consider going out and doing your first number? Okay, they're all getting it on the screen and then saying, hey, you all got it.

• 1:45:53Speaker 03

  No, I do that. I do that.

• 1:45:55Bill Maher?

  You do.

• 1:45:55Speaker 03

  For once, what, two songs a gig, I go like, yo, put it down there. Let's do it.

• 1:45:58Bill Maher?

  Good for you.

• 1:45:59Speaker 03

  Two songs. Do what you, I mean, because I I don't want to do like the put your phones in a bag thing because it's like weird. I'm like, do what you fucking want. Like, you're here, do what you want.

• 1:46:08Bill Maher?

  I agree with that.

• 1:46:09Speaker 03

  You know what I mean? If you want to film, if you want to fucking.

• 1:46:11Bill Maher?

  Right. You know what? You can't.

• 1:46:13Speaker 03

  You want to have a beer or whatever.

• 1:46:14Bill Maher?

  You can't dictate to people.

• 1:46:15Speaker 03

  No, you can't because that's fucking weird.

• 1:46:17Bill Maher?

  That's shitty.

• 1:46:18Speaker 03

  That's shitty.

• 1:46:18Bill Maher?

  But it is.

• 1:46:19Speaker 03

  For once, I'm like, put it down. If you like it, just fucking be here. But it is cool that sometimes, you know, like, the vibe is like, it's almost what's cool as a as a person from stage. You see the people and then you see the phone. So what's kind of cool about seeing the phone and the people is it looks like there's there's so much shit. Like, it's like overstimulation for me. I'm like, whoa, what the fuck?

• 1:46:43Bill Maher?

  You ought to write a song about that.

• 1:46:45Speaker 03

  I know.

• 1:46:45Bill Maher?

  About how the kids would be so much happier. They kind of know it themselves.

• 1:46:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, they do.

• 1:46:51Bill Maher?

  They do. They they they know it and yet they can't give it up. They know that it's fucking them up. They're not unaware of it. And yet I've talked to them, like, I know. You kids spend too much, I know.

• 1:47:03Speaker 03

  I I I gotta do, like, sometimes, like, for example, because I'm not sleeping in a minute, I've got I've got to turn my phone off. Like, if I'm on Instagram, I'm like. And then I'm like awake, I took, I delete my app at night. And then I put it in the fucking bathroom and then I go, go to bed.

• 1:47:27Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 1:47:27Speaker 03

  Cause if I'm, if I'm in bed and the phone's next to me, I'd be like picking it up. If I can't sleep, I'm like, what time is it? I would rather just not fucking know. I might wait for the sound to come up.

• 1:47:40Bill Maher?

  There's a lot of kids who, uh, you know, make fun of people like me because they can do so many things on the phone that I can't do. There's one thing I can do on the phone, they can't do, turn it off.

• 1:47:51Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:47:52Bill Maher?

  I literally have seen them, people in audiences, I've said, you know, they told you you can't. And then they're still taking pictures at a show and I'll say, just turn your phone off. And they're like, they don't know how, they've never done it. That's the one function on the phone that they can't figure out. That's saying something.

• 1:48:14Speaker 03

  It's so weird, phones are like, cause I'm fucking addicted to it. But recently more than ever, I'm trying to just like shut it off, put it in my fucking drawer and be like, let me go fucking talk to a tree or some shit.

• 1:48:29Bill Maher?

  Well, you don't have to.

• 1:48:30Speaker 03

  I'm like, alright, man.

• 1:48:31Bill Maher?

  You don't need a tree.

• 1:48:32Speaker 03

  How long have you been here?

• 1:48:33Bill Maher?

  You're surrounded by people.

• 1:48:35Speaker 03

  I don't fucking know, but like, I wanna like go touch the fucking bark or some shit like.

• 1:48:39Bill Maher?

  The next bus, you don't need a tree, there's a whole bus people, buses.

• 1:48:44Speaker 03

  I love to, but I'm mental, mate, cause people think I'm crazy, cause I just talk to random fuckers. I'm like, how you doing? And I'm like, what the fuck? Like if I'm in New York and I ride the subway, I'm like, hello? Like, hey, what the fuck you talking to me for? I'm like, oh shit, sorry.

• 1:49:00Bill Maher?

  Do you ever, uh, like tell the driver, pull over, cause I'm lonely on my bus and I wanna go on the other bus?

• 1:49:08Speaker 03

  Oh, all the time.

• 1:49:09Bill Maher?

  Oh, really? Like right on the side of the road?

• 1:49:12Speaker 03

  The best thing about it is, cause I'm obviously like bus one, I'm like, I'm like, air force one, like.

• 1:49:17Bill Maher?

  Yeah, of course.

• 1:49:18Speaker 03

  The leader, I'm like, right, we're partying now, pull over. So air force one pulls over.

• 1:49:23Bill Maher?

  But you never have them on your bus?

• 1:49:25Speaker 03

  Nah, they come on my bus sometimes.

• 1:49:27Bill Maher?

  Oh, really?

• 1:49:28Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:49:28Bill Maher?

  But then you gotta get rid of them.

• 1:49:30Speaker 03

  Yeah, I know, but I don't give a fuck, so I'm like, right, fuck off now.

• 1:49:33Bill Maher?

  It's tough when you're going seventy.

• 1:49:37Speaker 03

  I'm like, right, fuck off now, we're going off to the next stop.

• 1:49:39Bill Maher?

  What if they have to take a shit?

• 1:49:41Speaker 03

  Well, yeah, they can't shit, no one can shit in the toilet, bro. You get fined two hundred and fifty dollars.

• 1:49:46Bill Maher?

  Really?

• 1:49:46Speaker 03

  Every shit. So if you really wanna shit, you can shit, but it's two hundred and fifty dollars.

• 1:49:52Bill Maher?

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:49:52Speaker 03

  So is it worth it?

• 1:49:53Bill Maher?

  I mean, it's not going to affect me at any point in my life, because I would never get on a thing like that. But I did travel on a tour bus once when I was opening for Frankie Valli in the Four Seasons.

• 1:50:04Speaker 03

  You opened Frankie Valli?

• 1:50:05Bill Maher?

  I opened for him, yes, as a comedian. And for one night, I was on a tour bus, yeah. I slept on a hammock, like those hammocks that they have. I did not sleep, of course.

• 1:50:15Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:50:16Bill Maher?

  It was just terrible, and I can't imagine living there. And the poor crew, who was on the same bus, you know, I guess they slept on that bus. If they didn't, they were fucked, because as soon as we got to the next gig, they went up. They didn't go to a hotel like I did. They got there and started building the stage.

• 1:50:35Speaker 03

  I love a fucking tour bus.

• 1:50:37Bill Maher?

  Yeah, that's a hard way to make a living.

• 1:50:39Speaker 03

  Honestly, I love a tour bus.

• 1:50:41Bill Maher?

  Not for you, but I mean, like, for that crew?

• 1:50:43Speaker 03

  The thing for me is.

• 1:50:44Bill Maher?

  I guess they love it, though.

• 1:50:45Speaker 03

  I just, I think they do. They're just like, the best thing about a crew is, it's the same shit, like, we're like pirates, we're gypsies. I fucking love it, and they love it. Because you choose it. If you're a crew, you choose it. I really mean that. I genuinely, I don't, I think when you're in a rock band and you're in a crew, they work so many hours. They work thirteen hours, like thirteen, fourteen, fifteen hours a day, right? On a tour bus, not seeing your family, been on the road, da-da-da.

• 1:51:19Bill Maher?

  It's a job. I mean, you might be, you may be right.

• 1:51:22Speaker 03

  But my crew, they love it, they fucking love it. And they get, they get off and they're pissed all the time and they love it.

• 1:51:29Bill Maher?

  Well, they tell you they love.

• 1:51:31Speaker 03

  I don't know.

• 1:51:32Bill Maher?

  No, I think you're right, I think they do.

• 1:51:33Speaker 03

  I genuinely fucking, I think.

• 1:51:35Bill Maher?

  I think they do.

• 1:51:36Speaker 03

  Because it's, it's not real, it's no reality, it's a magical existence.

• 1:51:40Bill Maher?

  Yes, I mean, it's, it's sort of a similar job to working on an oil rig.

• 1:51:44Speaker 03

  Yeah, oh, you join the circus.

• 1:51:47Bill Maher?

  What?

• 1:51:48Speaker 03

  You join the circus, one way, jumped on a train.

• 1:51:52Bill Maher?

  I mean, I don't know how many circuses are still like.

• 1:51:56Speaker 03

  No, but it's a modern day circus. You've run away. There's no reality. You fucking. There's no time zone. There's no time limit. There's you turn up.

• 1:52:07Bill Maher?

  There was always this, I don't know, rumor about roadies that they got a lot of sex. Because they would vet the groupies before, like you'd have to like.

• 1:52:21Speaker 03

  That's a Peter Grant, Led Zeppelin trick.

• 1:52:25Bill Maher?

  Is that true?

• 1:52:26Speaker 03

  Not nowadays, no.

• 1:52:28Bill Maher?

  Oh, you think, but back in the day?

• 1:52:30Speaker 03

  A hundred percent Peter Grant. Blowjobs backstage t-shirt.

• 1:52:34Bill Maher?

  So you'd have to like blow the roadie to get to the rock star?

• 1:52:38Speaker 03

  I don't fucking know, to be honest. I've seen it in the movies.

• 1:52:42Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 1:52:43Speaker 03

  Not now, though. I don't think.

• 1:52:45Bill Maher?

  I mean, Led Zeppelin did some.

• 1:52:48Speaker 03

  Crazy shit.

• 1:52:49Bill Maher?

  I mean, I again, I don't know these.

• 1:52:51Speaker 03

  Jimmy Page lived off a fucking US tour on banana daiquiris.

• 1:52:55Bill Maher?

  He did what?

• 1:52:56Speaker 03

  Apparently he lived. The only thing he drank or ate was banana daiquiris on the US tour.

• 1:53:02Bill Maher?

  Well, banana is loaded with potassium, so.

• 1:53:04Speaker 03

  Telling you.

• 1:53:05Bill Maher?

  He probably was at the peak.

• 1:53:06Speaker 03

  That's why it looks so good.

• 1:53:07Bill Maher?

  No, I mean, they apparently had sex with a groupie with a fish. I mean, you know, like they were just.

• 1:53:14Speaker 03

  I heard that in Seattle. I stayed in the hotel room.

• 1:53:18Bill Maher?

  That they did that?

• 1:53:19Speaker 03

  Apparently, yeah. That's what they're talking. That's what they said.

• 1:53:22Bill Maher?

  I mean, even if it's not true.

• 1:53:23Speaker 03

  Sick. It's great for fun. I'm sleeping in this room like, whoa.

• 1:53:30Bill Maher?

  I mean, that's one of my favorites.

• 1:53:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm telling you.

• 1:53:33Bill Maher?

  Are you a Led Zeppelin fan?

• 1:53:35Speaker 03

  I love Zeppelin, man.

• 1:53:36Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 1:53:37Speaker 03

  Top five drummers, Bonham, Bill Ward, Ringo, Keith Moon, Dave Grohl.

• 1:53:47Bill Maher?

  Who's the second one? Bill Ward?

• 1:53:50Speaker 03

  Bill Ward Sabbath.

• 1:53:51Bill Maher?

  Sabbath.

• 1:53:53Speaker 03

  Crazy.

• 1:53:54Bill Maher?

  Yeah, I saw that tribute you did. That was very moving.

• 1:53:58Speaker 03

  Oh, that was mental.

• 1:53:59Bill Maher?

  I mean, that was a great moment.

• 1:54:03Speaker 03

  I love him. It's weird, man. It's been so, the past couple of weeks. I think that's also why I can't sleep as well. The past couple of weeks has been so weird. Because you were that connected to Ozzy Osbourne? I loved Ozzy Osbourne my whole life. From two years old, before I even knew who he was, he was a caricature. And the TV show, you watched that? I watched that every night. I have done before I knew him. You know when you put a TV show on that you can just like, sleep to or disconnect to?

• 1:54:37Speaker 03

  It's such a weird, weird couple of weeks because

• 1:54:42Speaker 03

  you know someone your whole life, or you think you do, and then you get to know them. Oh, so you got to know him? I got to know him towards the end. And? We were just getting to know each other. But what did you think of him? I mean, was he, because when you meet your idols, they can sometimes disappoint you, or sometimes they can make you... I loved him. Like my family. So he was cool? He was just... Who he is? Yeah, everything I ever wanted to be. He was crazy, and individual, and wild, and mad, and unpredictable, like, like I have been my whole life. And he was accepted by the whole world, and loved by the whole world for his

• 1:55:28Speaker 03

  sense of self and fucking fuck it mentality. And that, that performance was so wild, was because

• 1:55:42Speaker 03

  it was the first time in my life, when you look at a stadium of thirty thousand people, you perform to them, I could actually like zone in to one person and be like, yo, I'm gonna sing this for you because of everything you did. I've never felt like that for anybody else.

• 1:56:00Speaker 03

  And it was wild how the world received it. It was fucking mental how. Well, he died so soon after. Like, how soon after? Very... Two weeks, ten days. So it was kind of nice that he got the tribute before he died, because usually people get the tribute after they die. And then they're not there for it. I'm telling you. Yeah. I, I, I was in the Bahamas, I was, I was writing, I was in a studio in the Bahamas. And my phone had fifty missed calls on it. Because I was in the middle of a fucking island, so I was like, your phone just fucks, isn't it? I genuinely thought my mum had died or fucking someone had.

• 1:56:43Speaker 03

  And I fucking found out the news and I was like, after that and after I met him at the concert, I've met him before, but we had such a moment at the gig in Birmingham. We had such a beautiful twenty minutes, like just like this, just like kicking it, talking like.

• 1:57:05Speaker 03

  And then he was like, I'm nervous.

• 1:57:09Speaker 03

  I was like, what? Like, you're with your hero and you're like, I'm nervous. It's obviously like, he's kind of, obviously it was the farewell concert to Sabbath and his last performance on stage. And when you see someone, he's that big to me. He's like fucking massive. I couldn't even stretch my arm like he's Aussie. It's like, I look to him and when you see him as a human, you're kind of like, hold his hand and you're with him. And he just like, we were talking shit and he was just like, go break America next. And he said that, he's like, go get America next. And you have this.

• 1:57:47Bill Maher?

  It felt like you felt his spirit passing you.

• 1:57:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, you have this fucking moment and this spirit and this person you've known your whole life and then you know them as a human being who lives, breathes, spits, shits, fucks, drinks, whatever.

• 1:58:04Speaker 03

  And then he leaves.

• 1:58:06Bill Maher?

  It is interesting that he died so soon after announcing a last concert. It's almost like he knew he was gonna die in two.

• 1:58:16Speaker 03

  Can I tell you one thing?

• 1:58:19Speaker 03

  It was the craziest shit because I, when I saw him, in my head, I was like fantasizing like, oh my God, like we're getting to know each other. I can't wait to go have Sunday dinner with you. I can't wait to go out like, can't wait to like walk around a garden with you or like have a cup of tea with you. We're getting to know each other. I can't wait to like, watch a film with you or I genuinely didn't think he would go so soon.

• 1:58:46Speaker 03

  And the craziest thing about it was knowing his family, they didn't either.

• 1:58:55Speaker 03

  And Jack and Kelly are just the most fucking crazy, beautiful people ever.

• 1:59:05Speaker 03

  They didn't either.

• 1:59:07Bill Maher?

  Well.

• 1:59:08Speaker 03

  It's wild, it's wild.

• 1:59:10Bill Maher?

  I've learned this not just from my parents, but from my dogs. Death happens slowly and then quickly.

• 1:59:18Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, no.

• 1:59:19Bill Maher?

  It's slow, slow, slow, and then it hits a moment where it's fast.

• 1:59:25Speaker 03

  And, and yeah, I agree, and I think, as we know, like legends

• 1:59:30Speaker 03

  and icons often know the things we don't.

• 1:59:36Speaker 03

  I, I, the last time I saw him, well, I was in that dressing room, and it was the night before the gig. And I said, I was like, yo, I love you, man.

• 1:59:50Speaker 03

  And it was so genuine to be able to spend twenty minutes with him and just kick it. And just like hang out with him like he was like

• 2:00:00Speaker 03

  fucking granddad or something. And he was just like so with it and so funny and so excited and nervous for his gig the next day, in the same way that I am for tomorrow.

• 2:00:14Bill Maher?

  No, I, I.

• 2:00:16Speaker 03

  It's, it's fucking.

• 2:00:17Bill Maher?

  It's so, it's, it's beautiful how genuine you are feeling about that. And I know you'll forgive me when I say I, I totally recognize that, and I also still feel much worse about Chica.

• 2:00:28Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:00:29Bill Maher?

  Because he was.

• 2:00:31Speaker 03

  It's your fucking.

• 2:00:32Bill Maher?

  But it's cool.

• 2:00:33Speaker 03

  It's your family and, and, and it's just like, you're just like, what, like? And it makes you question everything, like, what the fuck, like?

• 2:00:43Speaker 03

  It, it's, it's so weird the way the universe acts and the way the universe behaves.

• 2:00:47Bill Maher?

  Life is brutal, death is brutal, and it just is weird. It's just fucking weird.

• 2:00:54Speaker 03

  No, it is.

• 2:00:54Bill Maher?

  And that is as real, and I wanna make this, this experience as real as I can make it. Because otherwise, it's gonna, I, I can't, it, it's cathartic.

• 2:01:05Bill Maher?

  And you have to like confront it like that way. That's the, that's the, until we figure out death, maybe I, AI will be doing that soon. That's where we are. Somebody's gonna shovel dirt on your face.

• 2:01:18Speaker 03

  Yeah, fucking weird, man.

• 2:01:20Bill Maher?

  Or they're gonna burn you.

• 2:01:22Speaker 03

  I don't wanna be burned. You wanna be buried or burned?

• 2:01:26Bill Maher?

  Okay.

• 2:01:26Speaker 03

  Fuck that. I don't wanna be a fucking jar. Fuck that. Put me in the ground with worms.

• 2:01:33Bill Maher?

  See, I don't wanna be eaten by worms. I think that's worse.

• 2:01:35Speaker 03

  No, I'm down. I'm down. Cause I'll become a tree or some shit. You wanna be burned and be in a fucking jar?

• 2:01:42Bill Maher?

  You will not become a tree. But I, I.

• 2:01:46Speaker 03

  I might become a plant or some shit.

• 2:01:48Bill Maher?

  Well, you will, yeah, I, I see your point, yeah.

• 2:01:52Speaker 03

  My vibe is, I don't wanna be like in, in me fucking grandson's fucking fireplace. Next to a.

• 2:02:02Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 2:02:02Speaker 03

  Fucking picture.

• 2:02:04Bill Maher?

  My father was, we cremated him and then a year after he was cremated, my.

• 2:02:08Speaker 03

  My granddad was cremated as well.

• 2:02:10Bill Maher?

  Yeah.

• 2:02:11Speaker 03

  We tried, I tried to do the Keith Richards and snort a line of him at the funeral, but.

• 2:02:15Bill Maher?

  No, you didn't.

• 2:02:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, I did. I mean, me auntie was freaking out.

• 2:02:18Bill Maher?

  What's the most rock star thing you ever did?

• 2:02:21Speaker 03

  Fucking, that's such a crazy question to ask me.

• 2:02:23Bill Maher?

  Well, you just said you were gonna snort a line. That's like, it's the.

• 2:02:26Speaker 03

  Well, yeah, I tried to snort a line of me grandfather, yeah, and that was pretty, pretty sick. But me auntie wouldn't allow it.

• 2:02:32Bill Maher?

  That's the most rock star thing you ever did?

• 2:02:34Speaker 03

  You imagine I've done it?

• 2:02:37Bill Maher?

  I can't, I.

• 2:02:38Speaker 03

  Yeah, you fucking can't. Yeah, you don't fucking, don't, don't cough out everything. I, I have done everything you've imagined.

• 2:02:45Bill Maher?

  Really?

• 2:02:46Speaker 03

  Except heroin. No heroin.

• 2:02:48Bill Maher?

  Me neither. No heroin. Tonight's the night. All right.
