The Rest of Entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy.

Now, celebrity culture has a way of taking very small preferences and promoting them until they require a lot of paperwork. Yeah, it's like the first time you ever go on a show and you say, oh, could have some sparkling water and then like forever say, oh, you have to have sparkling water, it must have sparkling water. It's very, very important. And that's what we call the rider. The rider. Right. In some cases, the rider didn't stay sort of practical for long, you know.

It started as a wish list, and then it sort of strayed into a kind of a hostage note from the ego. There was a point in JLo's ego where she was having like, you know, the white drapes, the white candles, the white absolutely everything, white flowers, white, you know, sofas, everything. Most people don't actually need a rider in this life of ours, however.

But there is something reassuring about not having to specify everything twice or more.

And this is one of my absolute favorite things about Octopus Energy. If you ring them about anything, your number is recognized, and you'll go through to a team who deals with you and they have dealt with you before. So, yeah, you have a team that recognize your number and you go through to a team who deals with you and have dealt with you before. So yeah,

you have a team that recognize your number and you go through to people who you don't have

to explain the same thing to 15 times. Hello and welcome to this episode of the rest is

entertainment, questions and answers edition. I'm Marina Hyde. And I'm

Richard Osmond. Sightly a different episode this week. Our guest, I often use a phrase

needs no introduction, but it's Paul McCartney. He definitely needs no introduction. Yeah,

Sir Paul McCartney. Yeah. Of wings, of course. So we recorded this last week.

They said, Sir Paul would love to talk to you.

Would you be able to come to Abbey Road Studios to do it?

Yeah, that's even better for us than Sir Paul coming to the Spotify.

I know you won't say this, but I'm going to say what you did that day, which was hilarious. You did a dash from receiving your OBE at Windsor Castle

straight to Abbey Road to talk to Paul McCartney. It's quite a day in some ways. It's unbelievable day.

Yeah, I spoke to the Princess Royal in the morning and then, yeah, straight to,

straight to Abbey Road to talk to even more royalty. I loved it that he said he'd only had all of his honours from the late Queen. Yes, he talked to, he had an awful lot more honours than I did and was happy to talk about it. Now, in this interview, which we absolutely loved, thank you to Sir Paul's team, and it was to celebrate the release of the Boys of Dungeon Lane, which is his new. It's really beautiful album where he's really, really, really looking back to his younger days. It's really, it's very, very special. It's like a fame prequel. Yes, it is like a fame prequel. And, you know, he was in an interesting, introspective mood because of that. And you've sent in so many questions.

Thank you so much.

Loads of really, really good ones. I couldn't use all of them. So have a listen out to see if we used yours. Talked about one thing is I've really read. There's a great question about the nature of fame and how much that has changed. But we've talked about. And he knew a few things about, but was genuinely hilarious I found on fandom.

But. But we've talked about... And fandoms and mad fandoms, which, you know, he knew a few things about, but was genuinely hilarious I found on fandom.

But listen, we'll talk to you again afterwards as well, but I will just say this, what a dude.
