I have been um a subject of one of your
00:00:02
columns, one of those um
00:00:03
>> secret diary.
00:00:04
>> Yeah, secret diary. I would have done
00:00:06
something oish or buffoonish and I would
00:00:09
would have deserved a public bollocking
00:00:11
and um rightfully I I got one from the
00:00:13
great Steve Bronners.
00:00:14
>> I'm sure it wasn't a bollocking. It
00:00:15
might have been a gentle mocking.
00:00:18
Can can I just say I I I've really
00:00:20
enjoyed this interview. I like the way
00:00:21
you interview. You've got a good mind.
00:00:24
You think so?
00:00:24
>> Yeah. I think it's lively. Yeah. And
00:00:27
well, you have the actually the main
00:00:29
sort of thing about you, I think, is
00:00:30
that you have this and I really admire
00:00:31
you. You have this terrific sincerity
00:00:33
about you.
00:00:34
>> Yeah. From my my uh extensive radio
00:00:36
career, it was like 5 minute 10-minute
00:00:38
interviews. So, you go to a junket, you
00:00:40
have 10 minutes with Ed Sheeran or
00:00:41
Justin Bieber, whoever. But now with the
00:00:43
long form, I can just be more genuine
00:00:44
and sincere and honest.
