Okay, so this is a question which comes up a lot, so I'm going to try and answer it properly

0:03.2

and succinctly, I can use succinct sometimes, so I get powered on for two different directions,

0:08.4

not a plea for sympathy, it's all part of the job, and I'm tough on them to look,

0:12.3

no bad, merely. So firstly, there's what I would describe, I think politely is the world's

0:17.7

most tedious cult, I'm sorry, but Stama Ultras, I'm talking about Stama Ultras, I know there's

0:22.1

some people who are like, oh I don't mind kids Stama, oh he's alright, whatever, I mean the people

0:27.1

who are like, if you say anything about my dear leader, Keir Stama, then I'm going to leave the

0:33.4
