Hello. Hello, hello. How are you? How are you? Good. Thanks. Can you hear me? Okay. Well, yes. Of course you responded. So I'm sure that would have worked out nicely. Great. Sure. Is that a choose life? It is a choose life shirt. Yes. From Halloween must two years ago. My God. Time is flying Craig. Climb is at a standstill and flying. Yeah. Perendus. It is. It's bizarre. Last night.

I realized I was seeing a film that I saw 23 years ago in the cinema. Yeah. And Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia, which is one of my favorites. Oh my God. Wow. Yeah. That's a great film. I haven't seen that for I don't think I've seen that since. Like I rented it on video. Not long after it came after it left the cinemas and I don't think I've seen it since. Oh, amazing. If you get a chance to see it. Yeah, especially in the cinema. Yeah. Do it. And it was great because I was front.

I'm not a rose center. No, normally I don't like front row at the movie theaters, but this place New Beverly has a comfortable distance. And it's like the perfect amount of space. And it was properly loud. So which was great because sometimes I'm having more like.

How dare you call me lady. I'm trying to get my medication. Do you have death in your household? Yeah. She cries. She cries so much in that film. I just remember like her cry like so vividly like her like contorted face. So. I know. Just. There's a lot of that sound. Yeah. She's amazing. And then there's just a lot of very intense walking from room to room. And almost sheer top. So that's kind of fun too.

And Tom Cruise is absolutely terrifying performance. He's so good. documentary. He's so good at nights. It's really like one of the scariest performances I think I've seen by a person, you know, it really is even when he gets tender with, you know, later on.

That's just as scary because of all the compressed pain in the character. And like you said, documentary watching it now. You think wow. So Paul Thomas Anderson really got him to do a Scientology thing. Yeah.

In this because it's the same. It's the living devotion. It's wild. It's really wild. Amazingly. Cruise sought him out. Oh, yeah, after Boogie nights. He was on the set of eyes wide shut, which they were filming for like two years.

And which that blows my mind too. I don't know what the budgets of Stanley Kubrick movies were, but you always hear these stories and they're like, well, after the first year and a half, I'm like the first year and a half. What do you. Yeah, that's wild. It's either like they did it.

So part time that they had it for a really cheap rate or they spent like an absolute fuck load on it. I mean, I just I don't understand how you can film one film over two years now. People like not look different.

Yeah. And continuity like how does that work? Especially with Kubrick where everything is exactly precise. Yeah. All the time. And I thought a lot of that movie when I first saw it, I thought it was shot in New York. No, it was shot in the soundstage in London.

Right. Because he never left London after a certain while. But time has been flying by. And you just did you just did your last show for a while or is it coming up? Yes. I did a show on Wednesday. Yeah. So I mean, you know, life stuff is so up in the air at the moment.

I'm sure it's the same L.A. Where they they start doing things, but then something furs up and everything gets postponed, like another pet job boys show from like 25 years ago with new order that's supposed to be happening at some point this year.

It just feels like I'll do a show. I'm not ready to plan a tour because I don't feel like that's hugely safe at the moment.

Yeah, it's also not good for your mental health. Right. It's not good for your mental health. No. And like, you know, there are tours going on that I'm, you know, I'm sure they have a good time with it. But behind the scenes, there's a lot of stress.

Like, you know, Elton just got coach. I know I was just about to say Elton just had to cancel shows because of COVID and.

You know, if somebody like that, like him and Adele, if they can't have a seamless touring experience, what hope does anybody else have?

I know that's like pretty much anything if Elton wants anything to be any kind of way, say for whatever nutty, it can be that exactly exactly.

We've seen it. The catering is perfect. And so he got it. When I saw that, I was like, what? Oh my God. Don't go out of your house, anybody. Yeah, I know.

Have you been managing that the isolation versus non isolation? Because you still DJed some ad.

Yeah, I'm still DJing every week. So it's not, it's a weird thing at the moment. Maybe you have a similar thing where it's not isolation in the way that it was a year and a half ago.

Yeah. But it's also not normal. So you're in this really odd, like, limbo period where you don't know how to feel about things because you can do enough that you don't feel housebound.
