## Transcript

[0:05] Speaker 1: I have you here.
[0:09] Speaker 2: Don't have a famous YouTuber on. I know that you've had,
[0:13] Speaker 2: I forget his name the other day, and he was fine.
[0:16] Speaker 2: He was great for the World Cup.
[0:19] Speaker 1: Quiz you did. I forget his name. I apologize. Oh, Zeeland. Yes,
[0:22] Speaker 1: he was fine. He was lovely.
[0:24] Speaker 3: He was okay, by the way.
[0:25] Speaker 1: I'm just, I don't even know anymore.
[0:29] Speaker 3: What are you asking? Who do you not want us
[0:31] Speaker 3: to have on?
[0:32] Speaker 2: I'm so I'm lamenting the day when not only are
[0:36] Speaker 2: the Logan, uh, the Paul brothers, uh, a part of
[0:39] Speaker 2: boxing wrestling, which are two of my other fond outlets,
[0:43] Speaker 2: but they're going to fight in MMA.
[0:45] Speaker 1: And one day they're going to appear in all of
[0:46] Speaker 1: my favorite channels. And you're one of my favorite channels.
[0:49] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[0:51] Speaker 2: So Jake, J A K E Logan L O C
[0:55] Speaker 2: O C K.
[0:56] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[0:57] Speaker 3: Got it. Got it. I've got it there. Don't worry.
[1:00] Speaker 3: We're fine. Fuck.
[1:00] Speaker 1: What have I done?
[1:03] Speaker 3: I'm sure they'll be keen to come on.
[1:04] Speaker 4: I really am.
[1:05] Speaker 1: You jest.
[1:07] Speaker 2: They joined the WWE in the midst of a goddamn
[1:10] Speaker 2: sex scandal with Vince McMahon. They'll do fucking anything for money.
[1:14] Speaker 2: Logan Paul is now an officially signed member of the
[1:17] Speaker 2: WWE roster.
[1:18] Speaker 1: Yes. Seriously? That is 100% true. I've got to look
[1:21] Speaker 1: this up.
[1:22] Speaker 2: Dude, Pat McAfee is part of their roster, and he
[1:24] Speaker 2: has a multi-million dollar podcast, and he's just.
[1:26] Speaker 1: Like, okay, whatever.
[1:27] Speaker 3: Who's Pat McAfee? I don't know who that is.
[1:29] Speaker 2: He's a former American football player, a punter, and he
[1:33] Speaker 2: has a very successful podcast in America where he wears
[1:36] Speaker 2: vests and stands up a lot. That makes him a
[1:39] Speaker 2: good interviewer because he also, and here's the kicker, he
[1:43] Speaker 2: knows how to say the word bro in very specific situations, i.e.
[1:48] Speaker 2: the beginning, middle, and every sentence.
[1:50] Speaker 1: It's critical. You have to spritz it in.
[1:52] Speaker 3: I would say that's good.
[1:53] Speaker 4: I would like to say about this Paul, Logan Paul,
[1:58] Speaker 4: that his.
[1:59] Speaker 1: You've never heard of them?
[2:01] Speaker 4: No, I know.
[2:03] Speaker 3: I can't tell them apart to look at.
[2:05] Speaker 1: Jake is the short hair, Logan is the long hair. Oh, okay.
[2:09] Speaker 4: Well, Logan Paul's bee outfit looks fantastic for the WWE.
[2:13] Speaker 4: I think he looks like a sort of mysterious bee-related
[2:17] Speaker 4: wasp villain.
[2:18] Speaker 1: What have I done?
[2:20] Speaker 3: A lot of drawstrings on here. Very interesting.
[2:24] Speaker 4: It's enough to make me want to watch the WWE.
[2:27] Speaker 4: I think maybe I'll become a WWE fan again.
[2:31] Speaker 1: Do you know what?
[2:32] Speaker 2: If you were to pick a week, this is the
[2:34] Speaker 2: week to do it because it's handbag.
[2:37] Speaker 1: I'm not going to do it. I was just joking.
[2:40] Speaker 2: I know you're joking, but this has been handbag slapping season.
[2:43] Speaker 2: It's been hilarious watching all the shit that's going on
[2:45] Speaker 2: behind the scenes. It's got nothing to do with wrestling.
[2:48] Speaker 2: Do they carry handbags with them? They carry these big
[2:50] Speaker 2: leather things with metal on and they pretend that they're
[2:52] Speaker 2: worth something. They hold them up and all the rest
[2:55] Speaker 2: of this sort of stuff. Belts, I think they're called. Look,
[2:59] Speaker 2: I'm a wrestling fan. I'm 31.
[3:01] Speaker 1: No, 32. Sorry. I'm 32. I'm a wrestling fan. I'm sorry.
[3:06] Speaker 1: But the fact is that they're ruining everything that I love.
[3:10] Speaker 2: And I need you to promise me you won't let
[3:12] Speaker 2: them ruin Tifa.
[3:15] Speaker 4: I can't promise that because I.
[3:18] Speaker 2: Would you really get them on for the views, though?
[3:20] Speaker 2: If they called you and said, hey, listen, we're real
[3:23] Speaker 2: big fans. Sorry, bro, bro, we're such big fans of
[3:27] Speaker 2: the podcast, bro.
[3:28] Speaker 3: Joe, bro, can I come on?
[3:31] Speaker 4: One of the things about being one of the greatest
[3:34] Speaker 4: guys is I don't discriminate against people. If Lorne Paul
[3:39] Speaker 4: and Jake and Paul called and said that they wanted
[3:42] Speaker 4: to be on the podcast.
[3:44] Speaker 3: I'd say, yeah, hell, I'd say, hell, yeah, let's do it.
[3:48] Speaker 3: And we can talk all about football tactics.
[3:50] Speaker 4: It'd be one of the greatest podcasts of all time.
[3:52] Speaker 4: It's a strange crossover, wouldn't it?
[3:55] Speaker 3: It would be a crossover.
[3:56] Speaker 1: I'd be happy to do it. Yeah, yeah.
[3:58] Speaker 4: I think also if the people at the New York
[4:00] Speaker 4: Times found out that I'd turned down Logan Paul, they
[4:03] Speaker 4: might be disappointed with me because I feel like that's
[4:06] Speaker 4: an opportunity, isn't it, to interview.
[4:08] Speaker 1: Where is Alex Stewart and his friends?
[4:11] Speaker 2: Swath of ravenous raccoons when you need him jesus christ
[4:15] Speaker 2: moving on right i have to move on i can't
[4:17] Speaker 2: let this be a thing so uh question actually no
[4:21] Speaker 2: not a question i need you to tell me about
[4:23] Speaker 2: something because i can't tell you how happy i was
[4:26] Speaker 2: when i found this and i'm sure a lot of
[4:27] Speaker 2: other in fact no i tweeted it so i know
[4:29] Speaker 2: a lot.
[4:29] Speaker 1: Of people have this tell me about grape tea.
[4:34] Speaker 3: But the drink the drink of uh.
[4:36] Speaker 2: You can tell me about that if you want, but
[4:38] Speaker 2: then when you're done, I need you to tell me
[4:40] Speaker 2: about your song, Grape Tea, and.
[4:44] Speaker 1: Everything about it.
[4:45] Speaker 2: So, I had no idea that you had... I mean,
[4:49] Speaker 2: I'd heard it on some of the podcasts.
[4:50] Speaker 3: You couldn't tell from the musical richness of my timbre.
[4:53] Speaker 3: You couldn't tell.
[4:55] Speaker 2: You have an artistic nature to you, but I did
[4:58] Speaker 2: not equate that to having the.
[5:01] Speaker 1: Alright, just Cards on the Table. I loved that song.
[5:04] Speaker 1: I thought it was brilliant.
[5:05] Speaker 2: And then I went Right, please tell me there's more.
[5:07] Speaker 2: And there were, but it comes back to that song
[5:10] Speaker 2: because I.
[5:10] Speaker 1: Love that song. Seriously, it's in a list.
[5:15] Speaker 2: It's after Tame Impala and The Kooks and Two Door
[5:19] Speaker 2: Cinema Club and a bunch of other old school.
[5:22] Speaker 1: It's.
[5:23] Speaker 3: After The Kooks.
[5:25] Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but Naive is a pretty freaking cool song.
[5:28] Speaker 4: No, retrospectively, I used to hate them when I was
[5:30] Speaker 4: in school, but I think maybe that was sort of posings.
[5:34] Speaker 2: Hatred I was the same I was the same whenever
[5:36] Speaker 2: any one of those guys went on the buzzcocks for
[5:38] Speaker 2: instance I immediately was like okay they're not too bad
[5:41] Speaker 2: now that I've seen Simon Amell take the piss out
[5:43] Speaker 2: of them but before that no they're words I won't
[5:46] Speaker 2: say but Grape Tea come on I have to know
[5:49] Speaker 2: come on tell me about it tell me what was
[5:51] Speaker 2: did you have a band if you did who did
[5:55] Speaker 2: what how did you put the song come on tell
[5:57] Speaker 2: me about I love Grape Tea the.
[5:58] Speaker 4: Song it feels like it would be more fun if
[6:00] Speaker 4: it was left as a total mystery.
[6:02] Speaker 1: God damn it What's the point of an interview if
[6:04] Speaker 1: you're not going to answer my questions and just say, ah, well,
[6:07] Speaker 1: wouldn't you like to know?
[6:08] Speaker 4: You just seemed like you really wanted to do it,
[6:11] Speaker 4: so I said, yeah.
[6:12] Speaker 3: I never agreed to answer any of them.
[6:14] Speaker 1: Oh, I see.
[6:15] Speaker 4: I'm obviously a musical genius, one of the greatest of
[6:20] Speaker 4: my generation.
[6:21] Speaker 3: It's plain to see. I think everyone can see that. But,
[6:25] Speaker 3: you know, I just loved....
[6:32] Speaker 4: Football YouTube so much that I decided to give up
[6:36] Speaker 4: hopes of becoming a folk rock and roll star in
[6:41] Speaker 4: order to service the needs of slightly nerdy and of
[6:47] Speaker 4: varying ages but definitely not under the age of 18
[6:51] Speaker 4: football YouTube outsiders and it's what I've always wanted to
[6:55] Speaker 4: do and I'm just delighted to be able to do
[6:58] Speaker 4: it on a daily basis for money So, you know,
[7:01] Speaker 4: and obviously money is more important than art anyway.
[7:05] Speaker 1: What?
[7:05] Speaker 2: But seriously, you're a handsome guy, tall, talented with music,
[7:09] Speaker 2: and you can sing.
[7:11] Speaker 1: Handsome devil. Oh, do you know what? Right, fine. Throwing
[7:14] Speaker 1: you under the bus. Search Great Tea.
[7:15] Speaker 2: Now and tell me that this chap in that picture
[7:20] Speaker 2: where he's looking sullen, just arching over just a little
[7:22] Speaker 2: bit to make himself look a little less tall than
[7:24] Speaker 2: he is, but makes him look more approachable and nice.
[7:26] Speaker 1: The kind of guy you bring home to your mum.
[7:28] Speaker 1: Tell me you wouldn't. Tell me you wouldn't. You're lying.
[7:32] Speaker 1: Tell me you wouldn't.
[7:32] Speaker 4: I tried to log into that YouTube account to remove
[7:37] Speaker 4: all of those videos. No! I can't get in. I
[7:41] Speaker 4: don't know which email address I used to sign up.
[7:43] Speaker 4: And also, I signed up before Google bought YouTube. So
[7:47] Speaker 4: it's not even a Google account. I've no access to it, unfortunately.
[7:52] Speaker 4: So there they remain.
[7:55] Speaker 3: Would you really take them down?
[7:58] Speaker 1: I wouldn't take them.
[7:59] Speaker 3: I mean, maybe, I don't know. I would, you know.
[8:05] Speaker 1: What am I doing?
[8:06] Speaker 2: I'm talking you into signing Logan Paul and taking down
[8:08] Speaker 2: your music. Why am I telling you anything that I
[8:10] Speaker 2: like about you?
[8:11] Speaker 3: I didn't bring you on here to break things. It's
[8:14] Speaker 3: a different thing, isn't it? It's like people... It's slightly odd.
[8:19] Speaker 4: For reference, for those people listening, there were a few
[8:24] Speaker 4: songs that I recorded about 14, 15, 16 years ago
[8:30] Speaker 4: that I uploaded to YouTube about, about 13 years ago. Uh,
[8:36] Speaker 4: and you know, recently, uh, there's been some sort of,
[8:39] Speaker 4: you know, the YouTube algorithm is very clever and has, uh, has, uh,
[8:43] Speaker 4: enforced some Tifa audience crossover, um, which is a sort
[8:47] Speaker 4: of slightly uncomfortable just because, you know, I did all that.
[8:51] Speaker 3: I did that stuff a long time ago.
[8:53] Speaker 4: There, there are, and I'm, I find it interesting that
[8:57] Speaker 4: you have been unable to find if you have searched on.
[8:59] Speaker 3: There is much more music online, which is a lot
[9:04] Speaker 3: more recent than that.
[9:06] Speaker 1: I might have done, but I don't want to embarrass
[9:08] Speaker 1: you too much.
[9:09] Speaker 2: Great Tea was where it started, so I figured that's
[9:11] Speaker 2: where I would leave it.
[9:12] Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. But no, hey, listen, I was a big hit.
[9:17] Speaker 4: You know, I was a hot thing, as they say,
[9:21] Speaker 4: in my youth.
[9:22] Speaker 1: And, you know.
[9:25] Speaker 1: Were you jam hot?
[9:27] Speaker 2: Were you fat and dark and all those old colloquialisms?
[9:33] Speaker 3: I was.
[9:34] Speaker 4: And, you know, it's just a shame that I'm not now.
[9:38] Speaker 3: Now I'm just, you know, just a man. That's it.
