that's an awful howler. Both of them are known to pull up at your shows. Have the crowd witnessing a murder like they rolled in with a gang of crows. Fuck their censorship. Let them see the whole thing. They stay dressed to kill. Never sheep's clothing. Dark enough to turn the sun to the moon. You'll see nothing.

the wolf and the owl yeah baby how are you I. I'm good. Can you hear my little girl outside? She's really found a voice in the last sort of week. If things aren't to her liking, or if she gets annoyed with it saying the whole house knows about it. I'd argue with you say the whole street knows about it. Yeah. Yeah, she's at the moment. And who's she getting that from? I think me. I think there's a significantly, yeah. Yeah. She's, yeah. Like, she wants the phone off you, if you're FaceTiming someone and she wants the phone. If you don't give her the phone, like she doubles up, crying and shouting. It's like the end of the world. It's insane. It's a beautiful thing. I, I, I, I, I, I, well, I'm glad that you think it's a beautiful thing. No, I think it's good to express yourself like that. I think it's amazing. Yeah, I think it's better to sort of do what I do. I've trained my kids from very early age. Just push that down. Try to stop feeling anything. Your emotions are... You know what? Just keep shoving it. Shove it, shove it, shove it right down. I see, I think that this is the thing that you want, like a bit like a sort of Sheriff of Nottingham or this is the, this is the car that you like to play sometimes in the Ramesh Ranganaathan array of the deck of Ramesh Ranganaathan. I actually think you're probably one of the most openly emotional people I know in my life. I'm one of the most openly emotional people you know. I saw not. I saw so much about that gaggle of friends I have.

2:18.5

But, yeah, no, I think you're genuinely, I think, yeah, I think you express emotion. If you're feeling down, you say you're feeling down. If you're pissed off, I think it's pretty easy to tell you're pissed off. Yeah. I mean, you've described two negative situations. Do I have expressed? No, no, no, if you're happy, we all know from this podcast.

2:33.5

If you're happy, you're fucking sprinting around town like a fucking cat who's found a daffodil. You're loving life. Or like, you know, like, you know, when you see a little baby duck sort of sneeze on, what's those ones that fly over the way? Dandelions, yeah. No, no, no. What's the ones? Yeah, you blow and they just go into the...

2:51.5

Yeah, dandelions.

2:51.5

Yeah, dandelions.

2:52.4

Do you want to ask me a third time?

2:55.0

Dandelions.

3:04.4

I don't know what a dandelion. I can imagine you. No, you... Go on. I think one of the things that I'd love to see more than anything else is I'd like to get a time machine and see your little face

3:05.5

when you first blew on a dandelion

3:06.9

it just went out into the ether

3:08.5

because I think that's the moment

3:10.8
