01:08better version
01:09Okay
01:12Get roasted
01:13I don't get roasted
01:15Yeah
01:18I'm ready
01:22Ali, introduce us
01:25Why are you wearing sunglasses?
01:28I've got a sore eye
01:29Oh, okay
01:30Hello and welcome to the assembly our collective of autistic newer divergent and learning disabled interviewers
01:39Our rules are no questions are out of bounds. No subjects are off the table and all might happen
01:50Can you please tell us who you are?
01:52Yes, my name is H. I'm from Manchester and I'm a rapper
01:57H which stands for Harrison, right?
01:59Yes, sir
02:00Nice one. I got it right
02:01Love that. I love that
02:03I'm going to start with a question from Nicola
02:09Hello, Nicola
02:14Calm down
02:20What is your PIN number?
02:23My PIN number?
02:25No, I know what's your PIN number is alert
02:26What are your PIN number?
02:28What are you?
02:29What are you?
02:30No, your PIN number
02:31Oh my days
02:33Nicola
02:33Yeah
02:35I really don't want to lie to you
02:36But I can't give you my PIN number right now
02:39Why is that?
02:40I agree with him because it's private
02:42Only because everyone else is in the room
02:46Next question
02:50Why do people treat us like we don't understand?
02:57Because the fuckers
02:59That's why
03:00No, I'll tell you exactly why
03:03Because some people
03:06Remember, everyone grows up differently
03:09So sometimes
03:12Stuff that's not considered normal
03:15Some people don't know how to handle it
03:18I don't think they're being nasty
03:21I think sometimes people just don't know how to handle things
03:25Do you get what I mean?
03:26I know what you mean
03:28Yeah
03:28So how much you got on now?
03:32How much have I got on now?
03:33Now, yeah
03:40So I've got a watch on here
03:41How much is that?
03:43I love that golden
03:45How much?
03:45Yeah, how much is the golden watch?
03:46How much is the golden watch you're wearing now?
03:48Is it real?
03:50This watch is about
03:52Shit
03:53This watch is about
03:55Seventy grand
03:56How much?
03:57Seventy grand
03:58For that
03:59Yeah
04:01And your
04:02Necklace
04:03Necklace
04:07Probably
04:08Maybe like
04:09Fifty
04:09Fucking hell
04:11Yeah
04:12I've spent a lot of money on silly things
04:14Okay
04:15Thank you, Nicola
04:16Thank you, Nicola
04:17Thank you
04:19Eliza, you're up
04:22Hello
04:23Hi, Eliza
04:25Um
04:27Would you talk about a man the same way you rap about women?
04:30Have you called a man a bitch?
04:35Er
04:39Okay
04:42It's a good question, that
04:43I feel like
04:44I definitely have said certain things
04:46Not just about everything
04:48That
04:49I probably wouldn't say again
04:52As a young rapper especially
04:53You think
04:54There's certain
04:56Things you have to say
04:57To be a rapper
04:58Do you get what I mean?
05:00I've said certain things
05:01Because I've felt like I've needed to
05:04Not because
05:05That's what I really wanted to say
05:07Which is wrong of me
05:08That's what you should never do
05:09Your next song should be about
05:11How much you love women
05:12And how much you respect women
05:14100%
05:14Yeah
05:15I'll take your word for it
05:16Are you a dancer?
05:18Are you a dancer?
05:19I'm not the best
05:21Er
05:22You know what I can do
05:23I won't do it for you right now
05:24But before I go
05:25I promise I'll do it for you
05:26I can do a handstand for really long
05:28You need a lot of space for that
05:31Yeah, yeah
05:31At the end
05:32I promise you
05:32I'll show you my handstand
05:33It was nice to meet you
05:35Thank you
05:35Nice to meet you
05:36Thank you, Elijah
05:39How many of you have been you had?
05:41What, in the past?
05:42Yeah
05:43Six
05:44That's a lot
05:46And now Kieran
05:47My brother would always defend me
05:50Just for having autism
05:51And being different to everybody else around me
05:53Yeah, yeah, yeah
05:54I know that your sister's a bit younger than you
05:56Yeah, yeah, of course
05:56But did you ever get any stick from your pals
05:58Because she has a dancing job?
06:01Not one person around me
06:04Had anything bad to say
06:05I was quite lucky
06:06When it came to that
06:07Apart from one person
06:10Who
06:12Really and truly looking back
06:13I didn't really consider him my mate anyway
06:15He was just part of the group
06:16Whatever
06:16And one time actually
06:18He was like pretending to be me
06:20Rapping
06:21And then like
06:22Said a line about my sister
06:24Yeah
06:25That I didn't really like
06:26Yeah
06:27And if you want me to keep it absolutely real with everyone
06:30I've seen him a couple days after in college
06:33And I absolutely fucked him up
06:35Yeah, yeah, yeah
06:37Do definitely not condone no violence
06:40But no one can say that
06:41About anyone's little brother or sister
06:44I agree with you
06:44Yeah, yeah, yeah
06:45So one person
06:46And he'll never do it again
06:47I promise you that
06:48Fair play
06:49Thank you, bro
06:50Appreciate it
06:51Thank you
06:51H-well done
06:52Thank you
06:54Next up
06:55Our question's from Essin
06:56Can you give us a tattoo tour
06:58As I'm looking for inspiration
07:00For some tattoos
07:01Oh, yeah
07:02I can't
07:02I don't really like my tines
07:04Why?
07:04I go on and off
07:05But
07:06This one here
07:07This says
07:08Don't be afraid
07:09My sister wrote it
07:10That's what my sister says all the time
07:12Don't be afraid
07:12Yeah
07:13Gracie
07:14This is a cowboy hat
07:15With a love hat on it
07:16My other sister
07:17Is called Hatter
07:18And we call a hat
07:19This one
07:20Is a symbol
07:22For Down syndrome
07:23It's like
07:25People with Down syndrome
07:26They have an extra 21st chromosome
07:29So that's my sister
07:30Gracie
07:32This love heart here
07:33I got this matching
07:35With a random girl
07:36That I met in Germany
07:37I was drunk
07:38And there was a tattoo artist
07:39In the restaurant
07:40Saying who wants tattoos
07:41And she looked at me
07:42And said
07:43Should we get a matching tattoo
07:44And I said
07:45I don't even know
07:46Who you fucking are
07:47But yeah
07:48So that was that
07:49And I've got some on my chest as well
07:51But I don't
07:51I can't
07:52I don't think
07:52No
07:52Yeah
07:52Yeah
07:53This is not
07:53I promise
07:54I promise
07:54I'm not flirting
07:56I was just looking for inspiration
07:58For tattoos for myself
07:59I'd go simple
08:01Next up
08:02We've got Harry
08:02Oh Harry
08:03The real H
08:05My name is H as well
08:08Love that
08:09Double H
08:10Double H
08:12If you were going out
08:13If you were going out
08:13On a date with a lady
08:14Yeah
08:15What would be your romantic place
08:16To take her
08:17Yes
08:21I'm not the fanciest person
08:23In the world
08:23I like doing activities
08:24Especially on a first date
08:26Because the first dates
08:27Are always the most awkward
08:29And this is what happens
08:30On the first date
08:31All the time
08:31You sit down at the table
08:32You're facing each other
08:33And it's like
08:38Because remember
08:39We've already spoke
08:40All the way in the car
08:42That's it
08:42Do you get what I mean
08:43So we're speaking
08:43Speaking
08:44Speaking
08:44Speaking
08:44By the time you get
08:45To the restaurant
08:46You kind of run out
08:47Of things to say
08:47And then the next thing
08:48That comes out of your mouth
08:49Is you're like
08:50This
08:50You're like
08:51What are you getting
08:55I'm enjoying this
08:56Whereas like
08:57If you go do an activity
08:59Conversations are
09:00Popping out
09:01Left right and centre
09:01If I'm going
09:02To take a girl
09:03To bowling
09:03And she bowls it
09:04Straight away
09:04And it hits the gutter
09:05I can be like
09:06Hi
09:09And then she's like
09:10Who are you talking to
09:11And I'm like
09:12You
09:12And then bang
09:13You get what I'm saying
09:13Now the conversation
09:14Is flowing
09:15And then you can do
09:16The whole
09:17Right let me teach you
09:17Crazy gov
09:18You know that one
09:19When you go
09:20Yes I do
09:20I know crazy gov
09:22You know what I'm saying
09:22Yes I do
09:23So I'm more of an activity
09:24Man
09:26Okay Harry
09:27Have you got another question
09:28Then
09:28Yes I do
09:30When I overthink
09:32I worry too much
09:37Always worry
09:38I think I'm getting
09:39On people's nerves
09:40And no one wants
09:41To help me out
09:41At all
09:43Do you ever feel
09:44Let down by other people
09:48Hmm
09:49Oh
09:51Sorry my eyes
09:54I feel like
09:55Yeah people let me
09:57Yeah people let me
09:57Down all the time
10:01But I don't think
10:02You should see it
10:02As like the worst
10:03Thing in the world
10:04Because like
10:05No one's
10:05No one's living
10:06For you
10:07You've got to live
10:08Your own life
10:09You are going to get
10:10Let down every now
10:11And again
10:11And sometimes
10:12It's not because
10:13The other person
10:14Is a bastard
10:16It's just because
10:17They've happened
10:18To let you down
10:18This time
10:18Hopefully they won't
10:19Next time
10:20Kind of thing
10:20So yeah
10:21Blimey sorry about that
10:22It's no more to cry
10:23I don't worry
10:24I'm going to be
10:26I'm going to be
10:26Well in a bit now
10:27Sorry H
10:28No no don't worry
10:29About that
10:29Oh blimey
10:31Good job I've got shades
10:32On in it
10:33Yeah yeah
10:36Please take my advice
10:37And just
10:39Yeah
10:40I'll take that advice
10:42As well
10:43Yeah
10:59No I'm not in the army
11:00No
11:00No I'm not
11:03I'm not
11:03I'm not
11:05Joseph
11:06Nice to meet you
11:07Nice to meet you bro
11:08Have you seen any benefits
11:10To being a white rapper
11:12Or
11:12Do you think it's harder
11:19All right cool
11:21I'm not going to say
11:21It's harder
11:22But you definitely
11:23Don't get taken
11:23As seriously
11:25When I wanted people
11:26To take me in
11:26I would always get people
11:29To listen to the audio
11:31Not watch the video
11:32I like that
11:33Because when
11:35Let's just
11:36I'm just going to get real
11:36With you
11:37I'm not some dumb white boy
11:38I know how shit it looks
11:40For a white man
11:41To be rapping
11:42Yeah
11:43You have to be
11:44Pretty decent
11:45In my opinion
11:46Otherwise
11:47Even I'm going to scroll
11:48This is really bad
11:49Of me to say
11:50By the way
11:50But I'm going to say it
11:51Like
11:51Even I have to
11:53Double take
11:54At a white rapper
11:55I didn't have a skinhead
11:56These times
11:57I had a proper
11:57White boy haircut
11:58Comb over
11:59And it was like
12:00I don't want people
12:01To watch this
12:02And just not even
12:03Listen to what I'm saying
12:04Because of what I look like
12:06So to answer your question
12:07Is it harder or easier
12:09It depends what
12:11Situation you're in
12:12If it was just as simple as
12:15The white rapper can smash it
12:17There would be 20 big white rappers right now
12:20And there's not
12:20It really just comes down to like
12:22You're in for the craft
12:24And you love what you do
12:24It just shines through the audio
12:26Exactly
12:27Exactly
12:27Yeah
12:28I can feel that just from talking to you
12:30Thank you
12:30Nice to meet you
12:31I love that
12:32Do you swear you whacked?
12:33I do sometimes
12:35I shouldn't
12:36I know I shouldn't swear
12:37But swear words are good sometimes
12:39Okay
12:43Now we've got Jodie
12:45I can't do this
12:47Yeah you can
12:47I know I can't
12:49You know you was in the jungle
12:50Yeah
12:51Do you like spiders?
12:54I did
12:54I could deal with it
12:55Okay I'll tell you a story about me
12:56Okay go on
12:57There was a spider in my room
12:59I was screaming
13:01So my mum and my dad had to get it out
13:03Yeah yeah yeah
13:03And I didn't like it
13:04So I don't want to be in the jungle either
13:06Yeah yeah
13:06I didn't like spiders yeah
13:08But when you're in the jungle
13:09You're so hungry
13:10Do you like EastEnders?
13:13I know where this is going
13:14Who's your favorite character in EastEnders?
13:17Well I only really know two characters in EastEnders
13:20Yeah Whitney
13:21Yeah Whitney
13:23Why are you flirting with?
13:24I wasn't flirting with her
13:26Do you think I was?
13:27Yeah you was because I saw you in my own eyes
13:30Really?
13:31You went out of it or something?
13:32I've not gone out with her no
13:33I've not gone out with her
13:34You say I'll take you on a date?
13:35You can take me on a date yeah yeah yeah
13:37We'll go on a date instead
13:38Well done Jodie
13:40Thank you
13:40I know you were saying that
13:44Jacob
13:46Hello H
13:47Hello
13:48I've read you've got into a few fights
13:50Do you still get into fights?
13:52I haven't had a fight for years
13:53But when you did fight
13:54Did you kick, hit or punch them?
13:57Did you do one of those things?
13:59Did you do two of those things?
14:00Did you do three of those things?
14:02I've done two of those things
14:02I like to punch and kick
14:03I used to be a kickboxer
14:04And the person who said nasty things about my little sister
14:08I punched and kicked him
14:10So you did two of those things?
14:11I did two of those things
14:12I was just punching and kicking
14:13And elbowing and kneeing
14:15So that's three?
14:16Does a knee still class as a kick?
14:18We're still using our legs
14:19Well kicking's like this
14:20Yeah yeah yeah yeah
14:22Yeah
14:22Alright so maybe I've done four things then
14:24Thank you H
14:25Good interviewing you
14:27Pleasure
14:28Thank you very much
14:29Thank you
14:31We're going to hear from Kate

14:48Honestly not to get all soppy
14:50I just hope she's happy
14:51She's safe
14:52She's safe
14:53And I hope that she's still enjoying life every single day
15:00Because right now she never has a bad day
15:02She wakes up in the morning and it's fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun
15:07fun

15:18Nice for you Kate
15:19Lovely thank you Kate
15:22Hopefully when my sister's your age she's on here asking other people questions
15:27Oh
15:27Yeah
15:29Charlotte you're up
15:31When I feel overwhelmed I love to spend my time with my dog and take her out for a walk
15:38Yeah
15:38How do you calm your mind down when you have an overwhelming moment?
15:47I feel like it's a really good question you know
15:52I think I'm still trying to figure that out
15:55I think I'm still trying to find that answer
15:57My brain does get like that a lot
15:59I feel a bit overwhelmed sometimes
16:01And like if I take my mind off things for too long
16:04That I'm doing something wrong
16:06And I need to be working and I need to be
16:11For me I think it's just putting everything to the side for a second
16:16And just trying my hardest to sit there and think about nothing
16:20But to be totally honest with you
16:22I personally don't have the answer yet
16:24I am in the learning process of that right now
16:28And I need to take a leaf out of your book
16:30And maybe take my dogs for a walk and whatnot
16:32True
16:32Yeah
16:33Is there anyone you need to say sorry to
16:38And would you like to do it on this show today?
16:41Wow
16:50I'd just like to say sorry to anyone
16:54That was heavily in my life
17:01Before I got really big
17:04And now they're not in my life
17:07Whether that be my fault, their fault, someone else's fault
17:11Yeah
17:11Because I do have something called
17:13I think it's called survivor's guilt
17:14I think they call it
17:16Where like I've got a whole different life
17:18And my friends
17:19I've not seen them for years
17:21And are in sort of like the same position as they was ten years ago
17:25And I do feel a weird way about that sometimes
17:29I kind of wonder what people I grew up with think or say about me
17:36Which makes me feel a little bit weird
17:38Erm
17:43Maybe not everyone even needs an apology
17:45But I just feel the need to say it
17:46To say sorry to people
17:48Because I hope people don't think that
17:51I've turned round
17:52And like
17:53Got a little bit of success
17:54And just went running away on everyone
17:56I didn't
17:57It's just that my life has took me
18:00Down a different path
18:01That I would have never experienced
18:02If I just stayed over there
18:05I'm not a
18:06A bad person
18:07So I'd like to think that everyone's understanding of that
18:10And
18:12At this point we're all adults now
18:15And everyone's got their own life to live
18:17So yeah
18:20We're gonna hear from Narjis
18:24Hello
18:24You had stinky socks on top of a mountain
18:27I did have stinky socks on top of a mountain
18:29Yes I did
18:30Correct
18:30They stunk
18:31And I
18:32We don't tell anyone
18:35I don't kill a manjaro
18:36And I didn't have a shower
18:38For seven days
18:39You didn't have a shower?
18:41Didn't because I'm such a stinky bastard
18:43Stinky!
18:44Oh my God
18:45Yeah, I've got your face for you
18:48This for me?
18:49Yes
18:49No it's not
18:50Is it really?
18:51Yeah
18:51Are you being serious?
18:52Yes
18:52Where are you?
18:54Yes
18:54Where are you?
18:55Where are you?
18:56Yes
19:00Now you're proper
19:01Did you really get this for me though?
19:03You leave me there
19:04On the back of here
19:05Oh yeah
19:06H the assembly
19:08Thank you so much
19:10Thank you
19:11Appreciate it
19:15We are just going to set up for some music now
19:19What's so great about Manchester?
19:21What's so great about Manchester?
19:22I'm from there
19:23I've got cousins all that way
19:25But it doesn't make it great
19:28Everyone's a little bit nicer in Manchester
19:30I was a rock troupe in that
19:37Maybe
19:41I don't really want to know
19:44How your garden grows
19:47Cause I just want to fly
19:50Lately
19:53Did you ever feel the pain
19:56In the morning rain
19:58As it soaks you to the bone
20:03Maybe I will never be
20:05All the things that I want to be
20:08Now is not the time to cry
20:11Now is the time to find a vibe
20:14I think you're the same as me
20:17We'd see things they'll never see
20:19You and I are going to live forever
20:39Maybe I just want to fly
20:42Want to live and don't want to die
20:45Maybe I just want to breathe
20:48Maybe I just don't believe
20:50Maybe you're the same as me
20:53We'd see things they'll never see
20:56You and I are going to live forever
21:05We're going to live forever
21:08We're going to live forever
21:11We're going to live forever
21:18We're going to live forever
21:19We're going to live forever
21:23I'll never die
21:31CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
21:39That was absolutely unreal, that's made me so happy, I can't...
21:42Honestly, I swear to God, that was amazing.
21:44And why have you all got so good, amazing voices?
21:47I really didn't expect that. What's going on there?
21:49Do you know what, yeah, I'll just be dead honest with everyone,
21:52I've not watched The Assembly before I came here today.
21:56You really should. Yeah, I should.
21:59You can watch it on ITVX and YouTube.
22:06This is like the best morning I've had in God knows how long.
22:12Can you show us the handstand, please?
22:14Yeah, handstand, please.
22:15Yeah!
22:16Come on, Ache!
22:18I thought you would have forgot about that.
22:20No!
22:21Go on, Ache.
22:21Well, Ache.
22:23Do that shit, Ache.
22:24Silence, please.
22:26Yes, everyone.
22:27Right, let's build it up. Ache.
22:28Ache! Ache! Ache! Ache! Ache! Ache! Ache!
22:33Ache! Ache! Ache! Ache! Ache! Ache!
22:38Oh my god!
