| 0:00.0 | That is a joke. Can I just say do not fuck me up? Do not |
| 0:08.9 | edit this badly. That is an absolute chore. It was comedically correct. It gets better because it has to get better. |
| 0:27.0 | We're all made of human. You are listening to the Made of Human podcast. I am Sophie Hagen and I'm your host. |
| 0:40.0 | I recorded this episode last night in Copenhagen. |
| 0:44.0 | Ross Noble did a show at Bremen Theater in Copenhagen and after the show I was allowed to go backstage |
| 0:52.0 | and do the interview with him and it was really weird because I went into the |
| 0:56.6 | the backstage area because I know it so well I've done like four shows there in like all my shows in Denmark I've done it in Copenhagen. I've done it |
| 1:05.4 | Bremen and I went into the backstage area and he was getting dressed so he |

| 1:56.2 | podcast but I think it's a really interesting one. Like the last one with |
| 2:02.0 | Allison was funny like really really funny and silly |
| 2:05.7 | This one I think it goes in so many directions and I'm I'm quite excited to hear what you think about it because |
| 2:15.6 | Sorry, it's a burp |
| 2:16.9 | because I don't know anyways anyways you will get to listen to that in like a second first. |
| 2:25.0 | Oh my God I'm going on a tour of the UK with my new stand-up show |
