| 0:00.0 | One two, one, two, two. Are we ready? You can use that bit if you want. |
| 0:09.4 | Hi, Louis Theroux here, and welcome to another episode of my Spotify podcast. You know what it's called, I think. The Louis Theroux podcast. Today we have a very special guest, not just a guest, |
| 0:30.4 | but a close friend, and humanitarian. Adam Buxton, actor, writer, podcaster, comedian, half of the Adam and Joe partnership with Joe Cornish, one third of the Adam and Joe and Louie partnership. |
| 0:44.3 | I don't think anyone's used that phrase. |
| 0:47.0 | And legendary podcast host, that's his main thing, isn't it? |
| 0:51.0 | The Adam Buxton podcast is kind of the granddaddy of many of these sort of interview |
| 0:55.8 | podcast formats. It now has 65 million all-time listens. That's quite a lot. I've never |
| 1:04.9 | interviewed him before, but I've been a frequent guest on his podcast so much so that sometimes |
| 1:09.1 | people say, like, I loved that podcast you did, implying I've hosted it when in fact they're talking about me being on his podcast so much so that sometimes people say like I loved that podcast you did |

| 1:33.3 | podcast, let's not forget, because it comes up in the chat, he did the Adam and Joe podcast, |
| 1:38.6 | if it was called that, which was based on his radio show that he did on Six Music. So he really is a podcasting OG. |
| 1:47.5 | So we recorded this in person on a hot summer day. |
| 1:51.3 | We jump in just as Adam comes into the studio. |
| 1:54.0 | It's got a slightly different feel to some of the other chats. |
| 1:56.1 | It's kind of our end of term show. |
| 1:58.3 | So it's a bit more freewheeling, less journalistic, go with the flow, |
| 2:03.3 | and hopefully fun. Also, a quick clarification, we speak a bit about January 6th in relation to |
| 2:09.7 | Ariel Pink, the avant-garde musical artist. And just to be clear, we're talking about the Trump rally in Washington, as opposed to the storming of the capital that took place on the same day. |
