pint-sized episode. Music it is this week's distant pod point size episode i've got to us then have you met paul

mccartney i have yeah fuck he has what was it like yeah it was incredible i met him i've been

off on my travels with him i went to cologne incredible. I've been off of my travels with him.

I went to Cologne with him.

I've been to Los Angeles with him for work. What? Where else would be? I got to sit in his office once in Soho when they were building crossrail. He's got MPL it's called. You see it? Hell's gone. We've lost bobbins already. if sorry yeah and he's it's like when you interview somebody like Stevie Wonder, he sits with a keyboard and sort of doodles away because it makes him comfortable, and he sits and plays an acoustic guitar. So he'll speak to you while he plays the guitar, Ellis. What do you play you? Blackbird. He did. Oh, he said, is there anything you'd like, or you'd like to hear me play? playing. I said, well, apparently that's a barometer of how good you are on the guitar if you can play Blackbird, so he just started noodling away. Do you strike me as shagga? Bubs, massive shagger. Did he keep calling you Gordon? Yeah, he... Because that's the thing he does. He keeps using a it. He does the same thing to everybody. That's good, Mike.

You don't think I'm a shagger and that's fine, Mike. But I actually was. He said once, he said, I really like your jacket. And I thought, oh, great, Maca likes my jacket. And then I heard him say to everybody else that day, love your jacket. Bastard. But we went to Cologne and I actually, I was so nervous because he's my hero, like you Ellis, he's my hero.

And I got incredibly, incredibly drunk after the interview because it went quite well. And then Cologne, they drink Colch, right? Which is about, what, 12% lagger. But in tiny, it was I had about 400 of them. And then got arrested for them. I'd just like to point out Gordon is Scottish.

Yes.

So we were in.

I nearly lost my job over it because we were in the centre of Cologne in this pub drinking the Colche

and there was a fire and a flat.

What a trip, man. It was incredible. He wasn't with you by this point.
