02:10What a time to be Jacob Lordy first Oscar nomination for Frankenstein
02:20I heard you talking about this that you believe you playing this role was sort of written in the stars
02:27I don't know. I kind of regret saying that now
02:31Story no it had to do with
02:34Someone when I made my first films the kissing booth said that it was a tweet and someone said
02:39This plank of wood is so boring. He could only play Frankenstein's a monster
02:48Start of my career and then and then you know
02:52Six or seven years past and lo and behold camera del Toro sent for me to play it. Yeah, and
02:57now you're Oscar nominated. Fuck you Twitter

03:13Yes true, yes, never sat here, thank you
03:15And but weirdly we were looking at pictures of you last week because Rachel McAdams was here
03:21And we were looking at mean girls pictures because there's so much love for me girls
03:31Like people still come up to you like do people do they have Karen lines or they always want to
03:35say to you of course
03:36I love being recognized for it because it was like the first film I ever did and I had the
03:41best time
03:42What line do people come up and quote the most? Well, they ask me if it's raining
03:48About to say and like on Wednesdays. We were pink. I think I got the best line
03:58We every Wednesday the whole crew wore pink on Wednesdays. We were pink. We made sure I said it. Yeah,
04:03I
04:04Should have reached out and let you know. Yes
04:07That's iconic that's so I'm so
04:12It's amazing
04:13And this weather must be great for you because
04:16Because there's a 30% chance that it's already raining
04:20My boobs are correct
04:22They're twitching right now
04:24They're hanging much longer than they used to
04:28But they're still correct
04:30And now johannes
04:33You've never done the mean girls dance you have done the mean girls dance
04:36Yes, oh, yes
04:38My friends and I at Christmas time maybe two Christmases ago. We dressed up exactly like you guys and we
04:45love the dance
04:46and
04:47Amazing the song the dance everything
04:50Yeah, I mean
04:51I love how it has traveled and I get this is good for you
04:58Because I do
04:59Stop it. No, I mean I it's in my body. I mean
05:03Somewhere in my body. Yeah, I don't remember it right now, but I'm pretty sure yeah
05:07Yeah
05:11Oh
05:11Oh my god
05:12He does know it
05:14All right
05:20You feel left out jacob
05:27But no the thing is you haven't done the mean girls that's put on strictly you did get to do
05:31a barbie routine we did yeah
05:34from the movie and
05:37It was lovely because the choreographer said all the girls are going to be barbies and I was thinking to
05:41myself. Okay, who am I?
05:42And they say
05:44Barbie says that in the movie too
05:47They were like you're going to be safari cane and there is it and they said there's going to be
05:52a dressage. It's going to be trees
05:54And all I can get to myself is fuck the tree
05:59I want to be margot
06:02But then when you did your own tour you did get to be barbie. Oh, yeah, you know this is
06:07the thing about oh my god
06:08Yeah, it's important. I had to do my show and create it for myself
06:20Listen, let's get started the wait is over Wuthering Heights has arrived
06:25This is the hotly anticipated new adaptation from Emerald Fennell with Margot Robbie as Kathy and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff
06:32It opens on February the 13th. So Margot you've had a relationship with Emerald for a while
06:37You've produced her other movies, but you weren't in them. So were you always going to be in this one?
06:43No, and I I've always wanted to be one of her actors and and we produced promising young woman with
06:50her and we produced saltburn with her and
06:51Then when she said she was going to do Wuthering Heights
06:54And we're talking about Kathy and I was like, I'm just gonna
06:58Throw my hat in the ring and I hope I don't make it weird and it's kind of like
07:03She explained it really well. She was like, it's kind of like doing the yawn and the arm over like
07:08Your friend at the movie. It's like are we more than friends?
07:12I don't want to make it weird and if we're not that's okay
07:15And fortunately she felt the same way and so she was excited
07:18So I didn't make it weird by offering up my acting services and taking our relationship to that level
07:23And it worked out really wonderfully and Jacob is it true that Emerald seeing you on the set of salt
07:28bird was kind of what?
07:30Prompted this whole thing. Yeah, can I I'm sure it sucks to have margot. I'll be put herself
07:36In your movie as well. It's like you're doing that with a lot of confidence
07:44Yeah, she did she did say that but I didn't know that at the time
07:47I was in indonesia and and I got a text message that said you want to be heathcliff and and
07:53I wrote yeah
07:56And then like two weeks later there was there was a screenplay and then that was it
08:00And then she said in the press yeah, I suppose I had I had sideburns well
08:04She said it's because the book that she had when she was 14 the heathcliff on the cover
08:10Looked like jacob looked in salt burn with his sideburns
08:13And so she was like oh my gosh, and she'd already she'd been wanting to make
08:17for a long time
08:30I quite take
08:31Listen before we talk about some more here is a taste of margot and jacob in withering heights
08:39What should you do heathcliff?
08:42If you were rich
08:48I suppose I do what all rich men do
08:53Live in a big house
08:56And be cruel to my servants
09:02Take a wife
09:06Wife what wife
09:10Heathcliff
09:11You're not enough
09:14Not for her
09:23Did you think it would stop me?
09:41So kiss me
09:44And let us both be damned
09:48Wow
09:48APPLAUSE
09:52You're good
09:53You're good
09:54You're good
09:54I mean we got a customer
09:56Woo
09:56The man is invested
09:58I mean just add rain honestly it's so beautiful
10:03And you were saying that the sets because it visually this film is so stunning
10:07And you would say these sets kind of took on a life of their own
10:10They did so the the I mean shout out to our production designer Susie Davies who built the most incredible
10:16sets
10:16You've ever seen like ever and we started the shoot on wuthering heights and
10:22That's where kathy and heathcliff grow up
10:23And and the set is kind of like dark and more brutalist with the nature kind of encroaching in on
10:30it
10:30And and it's incredible but and we have real livestock like horses and pigs in a pig pen and all
10:36this kind of stuff
10:36And snails and all sorts
10:39But and rain machines um but you know the animals would actually
10:43You know piss on the set because you know they
10:47They don't know they they don't ask for a bathroom break they're in it they go where they want to
10:51go
10:52It's so bad a pig would probably piss here yeah
10:56They're taking their craft very seriously and then the thrush cross grange set is meant to be this kind of
11:02like
11:02Oz in you know in technicolor you step into it and these beautiful pastel colors and
11:07We had this real garden with thousands of real roses and the smell of that when you walked on the
11:12set like it was
11:12Amazing and i remember we'd we'd been shooting over at wuthering heights for a couple weeks
11:17And then it was you know the scene where i go to thrush cross which heathcliff in the story is
11:21not happy about and i
11:24By that point i was like my
11:26Costumes like stink like horse piss and i'm dirty all the time and like it just stinks all the time
11:31over here at wuthering heights and then
11:33I got to thrush cross and i was like
11:35My god i totally understand why kathy goes and marries edgar
11:40It's so clean here it smells so nice
11:44And i came back and jacob's like well how is it over there and i was like it's honestly amazing
11:50The story makes so much more sense to me now
11:53And you you both do the accents but jacob you you're kind of from the same part of australia as
11:58margot right yeah
11:59We're from queensland we're about
12:00So presumably you spend a lot of time kind of before you go to america kind of thing
12:04Trying to crack your american accent have you even done an australian accent since leaving america leaving us i did
12:10one
12:10i did a show called the narrow road to the deep
12:12Of course but it was
12:14Was it weird to act in australia so i was sort of speaking right it felt like it wasn't like
12:19queensland yeah
12:20You guys have like an extra level like of challenge
12:24Yeah because it's either english or american for the most part right that's yeah i i i haven't done really
12:30an aussie accent
12:31That's crazy i was on neighbors and i don't know if i could now because i'd feel so like yeah
12:36This is this isn't as queensland as a queensland as like my accent used to be so strong
12:42Is this thing true that when you're on neighbors they get yes they get they got a dialect coach for
12:48me
12:49They got a dialect coach for me because i was too australian for neighbors
12:55Because you have to have a drama school accent like that and i couldn't i couldn't hear that i had
13:01a bad accent i was like what do you mean
13:06You're just awful to listen to
13:09We can send you off to work with this woman and uh it'll round out your accent jacob did you
13:14do the australian soaps
13:15i tried so hard
13:18Yeah i auditioned for neighbors twice
13:21and home and away
13:23Maybe three times
13:26Yes one time i lost it to someone that was on like australian idol
13:31And it came down to um i had to fudge
13:34instagram followers because they had a um they had a limit on neighbors that you had to have
13:4120 000 followers on social media or something like that they're probably going to come out and say that's not
13:46true yeah
13:48But i remember a piece of paper with that on it and it was something to do with that anyway
13:53They didn't cast me and i didn't get it so
13:55Well okay they're laughing now
13:58So johannes when how old were you when you uh did the big leaving it's other you you now as
14:03i say this
14:04I'm immediately thinking this must be quite difficult you were dancing on a cruise ship because they move
14:10They do yeah yeah so that's hard listen
14:15But you did it for a long time seven years wow seven years i was dancing to abba
14:23Darling freestyle like every single day and vacation day show day i think ever made everybody happy on board
14:33I've always wanted to go on a cruise
14:35You've never been no is it fun you do yeah i mean i don't think i could now but i
14:39wish i i wish i had
14:41Yes i maybe wish i had to be fun
14:43Were you you were you were working i was working and were you freestyling or were you like dancing
14:48No dancing dancing professionally
14:50He was on it for seven years amanda
14:58I have a question about cruise ships oh yes hit me
15:02Did it get pretty dirty
15:04All below deck
15:05Because you're stuck on a phone
15:08There's lots
15:09You had to disappear after you perform run back down below and knock yourself up that's how i survived
15:14Wow this is what i mean i was curious about that i yeah it sounds dark
15:19There are morgues on cruise ships
15:20They have jails
15:20Oh yeah you have to
15:21As you can imagine they have little jails
15:24And refrigerator uh freezers
15:25No jails i don't know about jails
15:27But i don't know i don't know about more we're really selling cruise ships right now
15:33Apparently the food is great
15:35So here's the thing uh margot we have not had you on the show uh since the huge global success
15:40of barbie congratulations to you
15:46Highest grossing film of 2023 oscar nom for best picture and it's one of those things
15:52As with hindsight is wonderful thing once it's a big hit everyone goes of course that was going to be
15:56a big hit
15:57But what were people saying in the lead up they're like a barbie movie
16:03What how and don't
16:05That sounds no i know and afterwards everyone's like well of course it made over a billion dollars and i
16:10was like
16:10We sounded insane when greta and i sat in this our green light pitch meeting and we're like
16:16This is going to make a billion dollars and everyone was like that's cute
16:20And we're like no it will like we are going to make this a four quadrant globally you know a
16:25moment and uh
16:27Thank god we did because i did pitch i pitched the hell out of it so at least i wasn't
16:31lying well because even ryan gosling took
16:33Convincing he did yeah he took convincing and i i ended up emailing him in in one of my attempts
16:38to convince him
16:39He was like no thank you and i was like no please and this went on for a little while
16:42and then i ended up saying in an email
16:44I will buy you a present every single day
16:47Every day if you come and do this movie
16:50And i don't know why i said that and um and then he came and did the movie and i
16:53was like
16:54Well don't make a liar out of me ryan i will buy you a present every day
16:59It ended up becoming really fun um
17:01I just leave him a present in his trailer every day like to ken from barbie and it would be
17:05something silly that
17:06You know if we were shooting a beach scene it would be like a hawaiian shirt or like floaties or
17:11something like that
17:11I'm now it's now occurring to me that
17:13Another co-star is right next to me who didn't get a present every day
17:18He signed up immediately
17:21You should have said that's on you
17:23It is on me
17:26Part of the success of barbie was that the the barbenheimer thing where oppenheimer was opening at the same time
17:31Was and that became a thing
17:34We didn't plan that that's what i'm going to say you didn't that was people often ask they're like
17:38How did you plan the barbenheimer of it all and i was like we didn't you can't plan for something
17:42like that and it worked
17:43You know beautifully for both movies and and it was really wonderful
17:46I actually know the producer chuck roven who was a producer on oppenheimer and he called us and you know
17:52he was like
17:53I hear you've got that date yeah
17:55He's like that's when we are and i was like oh wow cool he's like so you should move
18:00Oh
18:02And i was like absolutely not i was so thrilled because i was like he's asking me to move dates
18:07He's scared yeah that's right and i was like
18:12We're not moving dates if you're so worried you should move dates in fact
18:15i think it's going to be a great thing if we're on the same date it'll be a wonderful double
18:19billing and he was like
18:20I don't know and i was like well we're sticking and i hope you do too and then we and
18:24by the way
18:24This is all friendly because we work together on other things so he was joking no he wasn't he wasn't
18:28joking oh
18:29He wasn't no we can chat like that though
18:31We
18:32We'll call a man and call a woman and say i'm scared you need to move
18:38Honestly i was like i feel like he would have done that to the dude so i actually felt like
18:41yeah
18:41Okay cool um yeah and then it ended up being and you're like no
18:45Yeah
18:46We were posturing it was really worked for their movie too it was it they couldn't be more different yeah
18:53It was great and they're both important and it's like yeah so cool
18:55Well i think you've got another monster hit on your hands
18:58Wuthering heights starring margot and jacob will be starting from next friday very good
19:04Thank you
19:07Now
19:09Amanda cypher
19:11She brings us the testament of anne lee it will open in cinemas on the 27th of february
19:17So this is an extraordinary film it's a it's a musical and it's a true story
19:22But because it's the 18th century we don't know we're not sure how much
19:26A lot of liberties a lot of liberties okay so anne lee yeah you play anne lee tell us about
19:30anne lee
19:30On her story it's like weathering heights it's an interpretation right mona fastfold's interpretation
19:37Of drawings and paintings from from you know the the late 18th century of the shakers when they
19:43The shaker movement you know the chairs and brooms and they they invented a lot of stuff
19:48Um and it was actually led by a woman and and most people do not know the the founder her
19:54name was anne lee
19:54She didn't really care for a legacy she just wanted to create something a space for where all people were
20:00created
20:00Equal between gender and race in the late 18th century a woman took eight followers from manchester to
20:06That's why i have to do the accent boy that was tough
20:09from manchester to england i mean to manchester england to america um actually we're kind of where i live now
20:16and um and there were like 6 000 at one point and there there are still three left but the
20:21only
20:21caveat is that they couldn't fuck
20:23so and all that and that actually that was the only rule the only rule really and their worship
20:29was song and dance yeah yeah the shakers are like i mean it's it's like pretty popular around the area
20:34i live in right now in um upstate new york but nobody under nobody understood that this was founded by
20:39a
20:39woman yeah and um and and that's anne lee and she from a young age was just very very devoted
20:44to god
20:45and it's just incredible what she was able to do and what she felt like she she just was very
20:50brave
20:51so it's empowering to play an empowered woman um you know she was a bit nuts yeah obviously but
20:56extraordinary that that many people followed this because that during in fact i tell you let's show
21:01the clip because the clip is like the clip is the journey it's it's strange yeah but that's what i
21:06love
21:06about cinema absolutely it's extraordinary this is you leading the group uh in song and dance on your way to
21:13america
21:16and dance on your way to make a song
21:26all is
21:27peace before us
21:30all is
21:36To heaven we are going
21:39But in the desert we are leaving behind
21:43Wind-tree winds are going
22:08It's a journey, it's a journey
22:11But as you said, not many shakers left
22:14Well, maybe there will be now
22:16But as you were saying, the crafts go on
22:19The shaker furniture and shaker style
22:21It's so simple, it's innovative but simple
22:23And I heard you got into some of the crafts
22:25I did, I had to a little bit
22:28I'm a crafty person though, I have to
22:30I have to say, what was lovely was
22:31Amanda was on the phone to the researcher
22:34Talking about coming on the show
22:35And Amanda said, I'm actually weaving a basket now
22:39And I think I'll give it to Graham
22:40And I was thinking that is so lovely
22:42Because you can never have too many baskets
22:44And then before the show
22:47Someone came up to me with the basket
22:49That Amanda made for me
22:50And I've got it here
22:52Oh no
22:53That's it
22:56It's just, no, it's beautiful
22:57It's like
23:00It's miniature
23:03I might go grape shopping later
23:05Yeah
23:06Thank you Jacob
23:07These aren't real
23:08Just like me
23:09They're real
23:10Thank you very much
23:11They're totally real
23:12I'll save that till later
23:13I hope you want it
23:16Here's the thing though
23:16So it is incredibly beautiful
23:19I mean it's not that practical
23:19But it's
23:21But how the hell did you make that?
23:24I just saw this YouTube video from Instagram
23:27I just watched the video
23:28And then I started making them myself
23:30They take like 45 minutes
23:31It's incredible
23:33And that's also not an actual shaker basket
23:36That's just a normal antique looking basket
23:38It's beautiful
23:39But it's yours
23:40Don't you diss that basket
23:41Look at underneath it
23:41Look at underneath it
23:42What have I got underneath it?
23:43You'll never forget who it's from
23:45Oh
23:46From Minge to you
23:48Because of course
23:49People call you Minge
23:51I saw that on your foot
23:51Yeah
23:51Can I ask?
23:52It's a
23:53Jacob Ask
23:54Oh they're good
23:55Because in Australia
23:56It's Minge
23:57Still yeah
23:57In the UK it's also Minge
23:59But in America it's not
24:00I saw that on your foot
24:01And I thought it might be like
24:02A child's name
24:04Or something
24:05Can you imagine if my name is my child Minge?
24:08I wasn't sure where to ask
24:10I thought you saw that at the start
24:11And I was like Minge
24:12In America she wouldn't be made fun of
24:13But yeah
24:13No it's a nickname
24:15You went to the Manchester accent
24:17And you know is tough
24:18But is it your son was good at it?
24:21Yeah well because I was speaking in the accent a lot at home
24:24Because it's so hard
24:26And I thought it would
24:27I mean my son will say anything I want
24:29Well at one point he would say anything I wanted him to say
24:32When he was three or four
24:32Now he's five
24:33And it's very difficult
24:35But um
24:36He he's like really good at profanities
24:39Um
24:39But he would just go around being
24:41I'd be like
24:41I'd be like say that
24:42Say say what
24:44Mama taught you
24:44This accent is very
24:46Forking hard
24:49That's what gets me into the accent
24:52So
24:54Yeah
24:57Cute
24:58Talking of having fun on set
25:00Uh
25:01I've got to congratulate you on the huge success of The Housemaid
25:04I mean that movie
25:08Money
25:08Like you kind of
25:09Well like you and Sidney Sweeney
25:11Obviously you want your movie to be a hit
25:13But even you must be a bit like wow that's a hit
25:16I've never been a part of a movie that cost um that little that gained that had that much of
25:24a you know a box office
25:25Yeah it's pretty great
25:27But we did know like we did know it's it's an incredible IP it's been like the top of the
25:31books
25:32Yeah
25:32The bestseller lists
25:33But um you know I do think we made a really good version of it's better than the book for
25:38sure
25:38The author even agrees but um
25:41I think it's just funny like I wanted that movie because I wanted Paul Feig and I wanted to like
25:46go nuts
25:46And it just has been surprising and wonderful and you know they better put me in the second one
25:52Well no this is I love this statistic as a producer Marco you'll be impressed by this
25:57The Housemaid has taken ten times its budget
26:02Wow
26:02That's awesome
26:03Yeah
26:04I feel like that's good
26:05That is very good
26:06And can I tell you something
26:07Yeah
26:09I'm a producer on it
26:10I didn't know until three weeks in and I saw the call sheet and I was like executive producer
26:14I didn't sign up for that
26:15And I called my agent or no actually I called one of the producers Todd
26:19And I was like you guys had me on this executive producer and this was your agent
26:23That's what your agent negotiated
26:24And I was like I was like this really better be a hit
26:29And it was one of those vanity credits because I didn't do shit to make that movie
26:32I was only active
26:33Like that's the thing about vanity credits it's like
26:36I don't want people to get it twisted
26:39What Margo does
26:40No thank you
26:40Is really intensely like developing you know movies from jump
26:44I just jumped in had a bunch of fun and left
26:49And now I'm like they're sending me on a vacation
26:51Yeah
26:52Now drinks are on Amanda
26:53Yeah
26:54Yeah
26:54Uh
26:56Did you guys pay for these already?
26:59It was it's cool
27:00It was very good
27:00I don't know who was going to be in the second one
27:02I can't wait to see it
27:03You
27:17No I
27:17So Rana Bay is making his West End debut as Lola in Kinky Boots the musical
27:22Yeah
27:23It runs
27:24It runs from 17th of March to the 11th of July at the Coliseum Theatre
27:30Big house
27:31And here's a little taste of what to expect
27:33Check this out
27:34Everybody
27:35Everybody
27:36Everybody
27:37Everybody
27:38Say yeah
27:39Yeah
27:40Yeah
27:41Say yeah
27:42Yeah
27:43Everybody
27:44Everybody
27:46Everybody
27:47Everybody
27:47Say yeah
27:48Yeah
27:49Yeah
28:00It's not for a long time so I remind everybody who you play and what the story is well
28:07um it is based on Charlie who is who's paid by Matt Cardell very very soon but it's a story
28:16about a failing shoe factory based in Northampton and the guy in for saving the factory he comes to
28:24London and he meets this larger-than-life drag queen which is Lola and together they come up with
28:29a plan to save the factory by making these unconventional boots and to cut the long story
28:35short they succeed but the story is based on inclusion overcoming hardship teamwork it's just
28:44an upbeat uplift and also the father and son thing is just amazing in this it is it is because
28:49it explores those relationships that we have with our fathers and I think that's that's Charlie's
28:53father and my father obviously because I'm a drag queen so you know I could relate to Lola's story
28:58in terms of the person that she had to grow up and be comfortable being and I had that struggle
29:07so
29:07really sinking my teeth into the character did not take a lot I just needed to look at my life
29:12and go
29:13okay that's where I drew strength from you've been on tour with it before yes and then you got to
29:19perform

33:51she's so brave
33:53that is amazing

33:57yeah
33:57we saw you singing and dancing in Barbie would you ever do a Broadway show or anything?
34:02if I could sing which I can't
34:05you'd all know about it

34:22that was fine
34:23but it was mortifying
34:24it was so embarrassing
34:25I don't know how you do it
34:26I think honestly it's liberating

34:33but they do it and they love it

34:42loving it
34:43you don't have a lot of confidence
34:44if you're not great at it
34:45I know but then once you get past the fear of it
34:48you just become liberated

37:30AND APPLAUSE
37:30His laughter rising through the deepest blue
37:36Saw his body torn in two
37:42We stand but it sank straight through
37:46Between the bones and binds
37:51Each vein that contained little rivers of light
37:57An angel took his side
38:02And she knew his pain held his heart in her eyes
38:09And to Matthew she cried
38:20Don't fall asleep
38:24You're precious to me
38:31So stay awake and watch the flowers grow
38:38Green and indigo
38:41And leave some magic left to dream

39:11The boy heard a song
39:20Sea sign

40:50Oh, thank you so much.
40:53Jacob, hello, everybody!
40:56So beautiful.
40:58Come on, over, do.
40:59Well done to the band.
41:01All the candles, we're lovin' it.
41:04Thank you so much, Jacob.
41:06Thank you, Simon.
41:07Jacob, that's for Hannes.
41:09Amanda, another Jacob.
41:11And Margot is here.
41:14Hi, oh, sorry.
41:15Lovely, don't spill drinks.
41:19Oh, oh, oh, oh, nice bonding, lovely, very nice.
41:22Very good.
41:24Jacob, thank you so much for that performance.
41:27It was really, really, really beautiful.
41:28And that is off the new album, which is out now, In Limerence.
41:34Yes.
41:35Yes.
41:36Now, I think I speak for the nation.
41:37What does limerence mean?
41:40Well, you know, Graeme, I didn't know what it meant for a long time, either.
41:43I found it down a rabbit hole of deep desperation on YouTube.
41:49Just after basket weaving.
41:51Yeah.
41:51I did one look at that basket.
41:53By the way, can I just say, I love the artwork in this.
41:56It's gorgeous.
41:56Thank you, it's my friend Rory, my friend Rory Fotheringham.
41:58Oh, wow.
41:59Rory.
42:00Lots of love to Rory.
42:01Yeah, so In Limerence, yes, keep going.
42:03Yeah, so the crappy childhood fairy appeared on my algorithm, and she taught me the word
42:09limerence.
42:10And it's this deep state of longing for something that isn't real.
42:13It's like an obsessive kind of attraction to someone that is, you know, impossible or unavailable
42:24or fictional, that you've kind of filled in the gaps in your mind.
42:27So we can all relate to that.
42:28Wow.
42:28It's kind of beautiful that we didn't...
42:30I didn't know that, so now I do.
42:31But you felt it.
42:32But I understand it.
42:33Yeah.
42:34Annoyingly, it was one of those words we'll probably use now.
42:36I'm sorry, but thank you.
42:38I was fully in limerence with them.
42:40Is that how you use it?
42:41Are you in limerence with someone?
42:43Yeah, I mean, I wanted to make a distinction from love, because being in love is what I
42:47always thought this was.
42:49And I was really relieved when I learned that it's not as shite as that.
42:53It's actually...
42:54It's meant to be a bit better than that, so...
42:57And more good news, you've announced a mini tour.
43:00You're off on tour.
43:02Yeah.
43:02Where are you doing it?
43:03You're Dublin, Bristol.
43:06I don't know if it counts as a tour, but...
43:09I'm calling it a tour.
43:10And is it...
43:10The Roundhouse, that's going to be your biggest gig so far?
43:12That's the biggest one.
43:13It's going to be crazy.
43:14Wow.
43:14It's so round.
43:15It is.
43:16They call it a Roundhouse, and that's what it is.
43:18And I'll be spinning.
43:19I'll be spinning.
43:19It's like, people are sitting all round, I think I'll be like...
43:22You have to move?
43:23I think so, yeah.
43:24I'm going to see if they have...
43:25It's a lot of work.
43:26I know.
43:27Well, you should come.
43:28You should come and take one side, and I'll take the other.
43:31Cover all they said.
43:33I meant to say as well, you wait ages for one Jacob to be on the couch,
43:36and now we've got two.
43:38Yeah.
43:38What a bargain.
43:39I know.
43:40Can you sing Believe by Cher?
43:43Oh, I don't really know.
43:44How would you go?
43:44I'm a bad gay.
43:45I don't really know much Cher.
43:47I know.
43:48Please don't put me in gay jail.
43:51They talk behind the scenes.
43:53Yeah.
43:53Could you get it going?
43:54I'll sing along with you.
43:56Believe.
43:56Oh.
43:57Oh, no, that one.
43:58Yes, right.
43:59I'll sing along with you.
43:59I know.
43:59No, it's Jacob.
44:01No, it's Jacob.
44:02It's inside my scene.
44:04Yes!
44:05You don't make I'm strong enough, but.
44:09You really need that.
44:12Oh, no, that's a love.
44:14Oh, no, come on!
44:17Beautiful, beautiful.
44:19Beautiful.
44:20You know what, whatever.
44:21I'll tell you that.
44:22I'm sorry.
44:23It's been a real sing-along tonight.
44:24I know.
44:24And Jacob, congratulations on the album.
44:27Thank you so much for that beautiful performance and good luck with the tour.
44:30Jacob Adlon, everybody!
44:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
44:33You say it!
44:36Yeah, I think so.
44:37I think I fucked up because it's so much fun.
44:38Right, that's nearly it before we go.
44:40Just time for a quick visit to the big red chair.
44:42Who have we got? Hello, sir.
44:44Hi, Graeme. Hi, what's your name?
44:45My name's Max. Max, lovely.

44:56A trainee lawyer.
44:58All right, Max, off you go with your story.
44:59OK, so this story goes back to when I was about six years old in class,
45:02and the teacher went round the room and wanted to find out
45:05what everyone's parents did for a living.
45:08So for some context, my mum's a sexual health doctor.
45:12So we went round the room.
45:13There were a few accountants, builders, nurses, nothing out of the ordinary.
45:18Until it got to my turn, when I got up and proudly announced
45:21that my mum is a sex worker.
45:24So it gets worse.
45:26That evening, the reason why the teacher had asked us to present this
45:28was because that evening was parent-teacher night.
45:31So my mum went along.
45:32She was running late from work.
45:34And remember, the teacher at this point thinks my mum's coming from a brothel.
45:38And when my mum arrives, she's ten minutes late and she's very apologetic.
45:41She goes, I'm very sorry I'm late.
45:43It's been absolutely mental at work.
45:45Been back to back all day.
45:46Cue out the door and I've been absolutely slammed.
45:48I'm sorry.
45:50That's brilliant.
45:51Do you think more?
45:51It's a good story.
45:52Do you think more?
45:53Oh, you want to be good?
45:54OK, there you go.
45:56Hey!
45:59One more, we've got time for one more.
46:00OK, here we go.
46:01Hello.
46:02Hiya.
46:03Hi, what's your name?
46:04I'm Jenna.
46:05Jenna.
46:05Lovely Jenna.
46:06And where are you from, Jenna?
46:07I'm from South Africa, but I moved to London in November.
46:10OK, are you enjoying it so far?
46:12Erm, it's a bit, yeah.
46:15It's...
46:15It's been done.
46:16Wow.
46:17Someone's saving for a dick at home.
46:19LAUGHTER
46:25Get a job on a cruise ship.
46:26Er, all right, Jenna, what are you doing for a short time here?
46:31I'm an assistant researcher for an educational resource company.
46:35Jesus, that sounds awful.
46:37LAUGHTER
46:39Go home.
46:40LAUGHTER
46:41And, no, Jenna, off you go with your story.
46:44OK, so a couple of years ago, I was invited by my friend to go on his family vacation to
46:48Mozambique,
46:49which is a country that borders South Africa.
46:51All right, all right, all right, we do it.
46:53LAUGHTER
46:53That was essentially what was his grand's last international holiday,
46:57because she was turning 90, so they wanted to take her, you know, to the beach.
47:01Oh, lovely.
47:01Erm, and we had a lovely time, but on the second last day,
47:05she passed away peacefully in her sleep.
47:08Erm, the problem was we didn't know how to get the legal fees or documentation
47:14to move her body back to South Africa,
47:16and they didn't want to bury her body there in the beach.
47:19Erm, so the solution was to quietly pack her into the trailer of their car,
47:25that they had crossed the border with.
47:27Erm, pack her with some ice.
47:29I like South Africans who are resourceful people.
47:31LAUGHTER
47:32Erm, but, yeah, so we covered her in a Moroccan carpet and packed her with some ice.
47:39Erm, and drove her across the border. Beautiful.
47:41Erm, so when we got to the other side of the border, we were relieved,
47:44stopped for a drink at the closest.
47:46Yep.
47:47Er, restaurant which happened to be a wimpy on the side of the road.
47:49Erm, had our drink, and got back to the car, and the trailer had been stolen.
47:56LAUGHTER
47:58So, yeah, we loved the missing trailer and a missing person's request.
48:04LAUGHTER
48:04Er, I say you could walk.
48:06I'd like to walk.
48:07Oh, you want to be a gift too?
48:09OK, there you go.
48:13Erm...
48:13I so hope that's true.
48:15I thought that was mental.
48:16How was it not...
48:17Like, also kind of like a legal incentive.
48:19LAUGHTER
48:20Look, Amanda, slightly illegal.
48:23No, it's very illegal.
48:24LAUGHTER
48:25They're removing a dead body.
48:27LAUGHTER
48:28Erm, all right, that really is all. We've got time.
