You're listening to Unfiltered with James O'Brien, brought to you by Joe.

Hello and welcome to episode 16 of Unfiltered which features Gary Linica

something I'm absolutely delighted about but also just a tiny little bit

trepidacious because I feel in a very small way that I've recently

experienced some of the I shall have to use the word shit that he experiences

on a daily basis having had my first roasting from the sun last week.

So don't laugh at me, but I'm kind of hoping he knows a little bit about what I'm doing as much as I know an awful lot about what he does.

Let's find out.

How old were you when you first kind of became recognized on the streets of

Leicester? Probably early 20s. Right. Yeah. So since I was a kind of slightly late developer for a footballer.

Were you?

Yeah, I wasn't, you know, I didn't really get into the first team regular until I was about 21,

22 and then it kind of spiral from there but so you've been recognizable since

far too much so hard to now or presumably you can't go anywhere in Britain

without somebody having a word or saying something

usually nice always nice bizarrely despite in other areas

we'll get on to that yeah exactly but no people are generally very, very pleasant and yeah, I, yes, I get noticed everywhere I go, particularly outside of London, probably more than London because people are busy in London. There's a massive amount of businesses, etc.

But you know if I go outside of, yeah, it's a bit.

It can be a bit.

It's fine.

I don't mind, it's fine.

I'm used to it. It's so normal because it's been like that for over 30 years
