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.

Welcome to the Wolf and Al podcast.

0:55.3

That was like, you know, like going up to someone back a back in the day and trying to sort of chat, shut someone up and walk over

1:00.1

and sort of think you've got a real cool opener and you're about to sort of like, yeah, blow their

1:04.1

mind and then literally just sort of be like, ah. I just got, I just got reminded of like a horrible incident where I was like, do you know Rainforest Cafe? Oh my God, yeah, it used to be in London. I think it still is in London, isn't it? But is it not there anymore? Is it closed down? Is it not closed? I think it's closed down because I think it has dysentery in it or something. Oh, cool. I think like like, the water all got, like, contaminated. All the, um, uh, robots there stopped working. Okay. Um, it's difficult to know how much of what you're saying is factually correct, but, uh... No, no, it's true. Like, when it first opened, it was, like, fucking mind-blown. It was actually like being in a forest, wasn't it? like you bowled in, like the line would go, ah, and all that and stuff. And it felt like really, oh wow,

1:47.3

this is very much, it was actually like being in a forest wasn't it? Like you bowled in like the lion would go and all that and stuff and it felt like really oh wow this is very much not not being like that's very much not like being in a forest there's no fucking lions in the rainforest so well no it was right there was yeah yeah but if you didn't know you're probably a little bit like you travel the world so you know about forests and rainforests and shit, right?

But then they realise that there are no lions in the jungle.

2:33.1

2:34.0

Is it the jungle that you go?

2:35.1

Yeah, I think he does.

2:35.8

Yeah, but I don't think they jungle for a bit, don't he? Is it the jungle that you go?

2:35.0

Yeah, I think he does, yeah, but I don't think they normally knock about that, do I?

2:38.0

Is that the jungle?

2:39.0
