0:00.0	Lou roll is not something you'd normally feel good about, but ours is not your normal loo roll.
0:06.9	It donates 50% of profits to help provide access to clean water and toilets,
0:12.0	which means every we is more of a...
0:14.9	And every number two is more of a number...
0:19.3	Switch to toilet paper that makes you feel... Go... And every number two is more of a number two.
0:23.6	Switch to toilet paper that makes you feel... Okay, you get the idea.
0:27.3	Who gives a crap?
0:28.5	Feel good toilet paper.
0:32.9	Did you guys ever used to play that game on long car journeys?
0:37.0	And it was called, well, our

1:45.1	know someone who was at my show in Brisbane, which is at the other side of the world. And, you know,
1:50.9	these connections can be so thrilling. But so I think sometimes that we forget that the connections
1:56.2	kind of work the other way too. Like if you can be six degrees of separation from someone like Taylor Swift,
2:02.5	then that must also mean that you could be three or four or five degrees of separation from
