Hello, my friends, welcome to Five Brilliant Things, where I sit down with fascinating people to talk about the things they love.

My guest today is the legendary stand-up, Ross Noble. Now, what may come across in this podcast is two things. Ross cannot stay on topic and I am in love

with Ross and that may come across. It's a bit like someone who's a huge Taylor Swift fan

interviewing Taylor Swift and at times Taylor slash Ross was clearly slightly confused

about how often I had appeared in his life and it was because I found ways to kind of follow him

because I was obsessed with him. It's an absolute pleasure to have him on the show and it's okay,

we're fine, I'm friends with him. Here is Ross Noble with his five brilliant things.

Hello Ross. Hello. How are you?

Looking suitably, you know, to coin the phrase used of Billy Connolly, wind-swept and interesting.

Oh, thank you very much. Is that because my hair is of, it's voluminous. Well, I haven't seen you in a while, and it really, it's sort of like lived in witch. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's just kind of like, like a witch that really knows her powers. Very much, yeah. I cut it short a while ago.

I went short and then I sort of, and then I don't know what's happened in the past couple of weeks. It's just, it's just gone massive. Yeah, but it's got real kind of like 80s power rock energy. Yeah, I think it works, doesn't it? Absolutely. Because I was looking at it yesterday. I caught myself. Do you ever do that thing of like

if you catch your

mirrors

mirrors have no effect, I don't think. I can look in a mirror. It's not, I don't know what it is. I think it's just, but if you catch yourself on a monitor. Yes. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. I know this is very niche, isn't it? I tell you what is a, if you're in a lift and you have that mirror that has multiple use. Oh, where you can see the back of you. Yeah. And you can see it stretching off into the distance. Yeah, that really works on me where I will suddenly become Oedipus, that I am just kind of twisting and seeing every, because you hang on do you mean narcissists narcissists yeah Oedipus or in the shabend yeah I've had to be mum well to be honest that's one of the greatest bit of for a podcast revelation I mean we can stop here, I reckon.

Most people don't talk in a lift.

The second these doors close.

She's there like that.

It's like, your dad's just going, I'm not, I'll come with you.

The two of us, what floor do you want?

Yeah.

Well done.

Thank God you corrected me.
