| 0:00.0 | Hey Scott here from SBL and today we are talking to the amazing, the phenomenal Jacob Collier, |
| 0:06.7 | multi-grammy award winner and obviously badass bass player. So Jacob, obviously amazing to finally meet you. I can see that you're hanging out in the |
| 0:40.3 | Collier music room. Is that your mum and dad's house? Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah. I grew up in this house |
| 0:46.8 | from day one. Yeah, day one of my life I was jamming out in this room. What happens when |
| 0:52.2 | you leave? Do you think there's like a certain magic |
| 0:54.2 | about that room? Do you have anxiety about leaving that room? I don't know. It's a funny one. I feel like all the goblins come out to play when I'm away, you know, and I come back and a shaker's been moved to that side of the room, I think. That's going on. Who spends the most, is that actually like a shared room with your parents, have you fully? |
| 1:10.9 | It did, well, it used to be. |

| 2:00.0 | I didn't think about it. I didn't think about it. |

| 2:12.8 | Back room we had CDs, |
| 2:14.1 | and I used to press play and wonder what would come out. |
