I made a podcast called Bombing about absolutely tanking on stage. I tell gnarly stories and I talk to friends about their worst moments of bombing in all sorts of ways. Bombing on stage, bombing in public, bombing in life. Like the time I stole a girl's phone during a sentence, she jumped on.

Eric Andre
This is me, Craig Ferguson. I'm inviting you to come and see my brand new comedy hour. Well, it's actually it's about an hour and a half and I don't have an opener because these guys cost money. But what I'm saying is I'll be on stage for a while anyway. Come and see me live on the Pants on Fire tour in your region. Tickets are on sale now and we'll be adding more as the Tour continues throughout 2025 and beyond. For a full list of dates, go to thecraigfergusonshow.com See you on the road, my dears. My name is Craig Ferguson. The name of this podcast is Joy. I talk to interesting people about what brings them Happiness. Now, I know what you're thinking. You're looking behind me here and you're thinking, craig, are you in an enchanted, magical forest? Is that in the wintertime? Are you doing a show from Narnia? Are you going to be talking to Mr. Tumnus, the man that has horse legs for trousers or something? No, I'm not actually in Narnia, but very close to Narnia, I'm in a place called New Jersey. And in New Jersey, I don't know if you can hear in the background. You may be able to hear in the background and buy something called a freeway in New Jersey. They have a couple of freeways in New Jersey. And the reason why I'm talking to you from there today is this. Last week on the Joy podcast, we did an episode of Tweets and Emails where I answered tweets and emails and like I used to do in the old late night show, you know, you guys send in some tweets and emails and I answer them and rabbit on and blether about whatever nonsense comes into my head as, you know, stimulated from the conversation or from the email. It's not really a conversation because it's just me talking. But what I'm saying is this. It was an overwhelmingly positive response. Apparently, everybody was very happy about it. And I thought, well, you know, it's quite hard to put together a podcast from the road. And I'm on the road doing some shows right now. Hence, I'm in New Jersey, which is a much maligned state, by the way. It's actually very nice. Much nicer than you would think. In fact, I think that should really be what the state motto should be. New Jersey. It's much nicer than you would think. I think that would be a more accurate description of, of the. Of the area, because you think it's going to be just all the freeway and nudie bars and car dealerships, and it certainly has that. But doesn't every state. Doesn't every state have that? Well, some. Some states have that. New Jersey has that. Anyway, look, what I'm saying is it's not. It's much nicer than you would think. New Jersey. It's much nicer than you would think. So I'm in a hotel in New Jersey and I'm traveling from one show. I did a show last night and I'm going to do another show tonight in Pennsylvania. So I stopped at this hotel. The bottom line is we're going to do a second episode of tweets and emails on the Joy Podcast, where we have received further tweets and emails and questions from everybody. And what we're going to do is answer those as accurately or as irresponsibly as possible, and then we'll resume normal Joy podcasting next week when I'll be talking to someone about something as opposed to me talking to you about your thing. But I have the tweets and emails and I will begin. This is an email from Pana Slaughter. Pana Slaughter. Now, it's a lovely name, Panislotter. It sounds a little like panna cotta, which is a delicious thing to eat. Panna cotta, I think it's is clearly Italian. I wonder if Panaslota is Italian or maybe more kind of around that area. Maybe eastern, east of Italy in the Adriatic somewhere. I don't know. I don't know. But Panaslota, who's not Panna Cotta, asks, who would you never invite on the show? Well, you know, I don't really have rules about that. I, I'll kind of talk to anybody, as long as they'll talk to me. I'm kind of interested. The only people I do avoid and I avoided, when I was doing the late night show, there was a bunch of people I avoided. And New Jersey springs to mind, actually, because I would never. I loved the TV show the Sopranos, and when I was doing late night, the Sopranos was on tv and I would never invite any of the cast members from the Sopranos. I don't know if they would agree to come on. Anyway, I didn't invite them, but I, I would never invite them on because I was watching the show and I loved the show and I didn't want to meet the actors and have the actors be the actor and kind of destroy the fourth wall thing that I enjoy in tv, which is an interesting thing that, because actually a few years ago I was having a conversation with Kevin Bacon. Now, Kevin Bacon, as you know, is a very interested man, very, very busy actor. And, and he was telling me that he had done a TV show. I wouldn't say which one because he's done so many, but he was doing a TV show and the production company had asked him to tweet as the show was going out about his experience as doing the show. Like, you know, oh, this day was raining and I farted or something. And he said he really didn't want to do it for the same reason as I wouldn't invite the Sopranos on the show, because his job as Kevin Bacon is to convince you he's not Kevin Bacon. That's. That's kind of the job. That's what he was saying is like, I have to do all this work to convince you I'm not Kevin Bacon. I'm actually somebody else. I'm, you know, Joe the astronaut or Bob the guy who works in Starbucks or something. And he's, you know, and it's clearly, it's Kevin Bacon because you can see it's Kevin Bacon. But the art and cleverness of what he does is convince you he's not Kevin Bacon. And if he's tweeting out on his account that he is Kevin Bacon and he was Kevin Bacon when he was doing it, he's kind of working against himself. And I see that. Anyway, that's why I wouldn't invite anyone from the Sopranos on the show. And the other people I wouldn't invite on the show. There's only one other person, and I've talked about this at the time, that I would never invite David Bowie on the show. Now, I'm not saying that he would ever agree to have been on the show, but. But I would never invite him on the show because I was concerned because of the never meet your heroes thing. I. I always like the. The mystique and the kind of. The kind of slightly from another planet version of David Bowie. He sort of was from somewhere else with his eyes a different color. And I thought, if he becomes normal to me, I'll lose something. Because people do become normal sort of when you meet them. Like, over the years, I was doing late night and doing this show and doing other shows, you meet people who are very famous or very accomplished in what they do. And of course, they're human beings. And when they become human beings, they cease to be demigods to you. And whilst I'm fine with that, most of the time, boy was a demigod that I kind of didn't want to give up. Is that weird? I don't know. I mean, I guess I'm just a fanboy. And it's funny because some people who came on the show, you know, I were only. I was only kind of a little bit aware of. But as they came on the show, I became much more of a fan of them. So I guess it. And some people are disappointed, but I think it would be kind of mean to. To say that, you know, so I won't say that. But who I would never invite on the show is the cast of the Sopranos, which is not TV anymore, or David Boy, who's not available anymore to do talk shows anyway. So pretty much everybody else is good. All right, I hope that helped. Mrs. Or Ms. Or Sir Panna Slaughter. I don't know the correct pronoun for that name, actually. Pana. I don't know if Panna. I don't know what is connected. I don't even want to talk about this. All right, so this next one is from Eliza Vezin. Eliza Vezin or Ven or Elisa Vezone? I don't know. But Eliza said, what made you want to become a comedian? Well, I don't know that I ever did want to become a comedian. I think. I don't even know if that is entirely an accurate. I mean, I do it. I do stand up comedy and I enjoy doing it. And it is. Is a very big part of my life and I love it. I love doing it and it seems to go okay. It went well in Jersey last night and the night before in Boston. It went well and you know, I'm kind of blowing my own trumpet here a bit and it's going to humble brag. But what I'm saying is I do it, but I don't define myself by it, if that makes any sense. It was kind of the same as being a late night host. I mean, for me, late night, there are people, young people I'm aware of now you see, who like, they look for a career in comedy or they would like to be a late night host. And whilst I understand it, I mean, it's been very good to me and it's a lovely job, I never really set out to do that. I wanted to be what everyone else wanted to be when I was a kid, which was. There was really three things I wanted to be when I was a kid. I either wanted to be an astronaut or. Which in Scotland was limited. There wasn't a huge space program in Scotland in the 1960s when I was born or indeed now. I don't even think they have a particularly big space program. I'm sure there must be a Scottish astronaut somewhere. But anyway, I wasn't cut out for astronauting and I either wanted to be a sports star. You'll be really good at sports, particularly football or as we call it in America, soccer. But football in Scotland. I wanted to be a star football player, but I wasn't any good at football. So that gets in the way. It's a bit. I mean, you really can't hide in sport. It's one of those things like. Like in show business you can be. It doesn't matter, you know, if you get a good agent and you're in a good thing and people like you the right way and stuff, you can. And even in a band you can kind of hide as long as somebody else kind of covers for you. But in sports, it's on you, man. You better be good or you're fucked. But anyway, I wasn't good. I wasn't good enough. I wasn't even remotely good. I wasn't, I wasn't good enough to be even sort of considered as a. Someone who could hang around. And the other thing I wanted to be, of course, was a musician. And I, I think in a very strange way that's kind of what I am. I mean, I still play. I, you know, I, I play the drums and I play the guitar and I don't play them publicly because that I think would be a way to, to look foolish in a way which probably I'm not quite ready for. And then the. I sung in my life. I've, you know, I've done shows where I've sung songs and I'm not a great singer. But you know, you kind of don't really have to be a great singer to sing. I mean, there's a lot of. Particularly now with Auto Tune. Good lord. I mean, you just kind of. And then they put it through a program and you sound like, you know, Maria Callis or something. I don't know who's a really good singer anyway. I don't know enough about opera or even what she did. I don't know. I think so. I think I've wandered off track here. What I'm saying is I don't consider myself really a comedian as such. I think of myself more as a kind of. I mean, look, I write. That's what I do. I express myself writing. I express myself orally in a kind of Socratic sense, I suppose, in doing stand up comedy. But I don't really tell jokes in that same way. I mean, it's not. And I'm not even. I don't think so. I don't think I'm one of those kind of. Hey, have you ever noticed how some things are like other things or what's the deal with those things? I'm not really like that. My standup tends to be more anecdotal. I mean, look, it's A lot of it is, let's be honest, it's lies, fabrication of or artistic license. Certainly the current tour, it's called Pants on Fire. Just that flat out admitting that a lot of this Is made up, but it's based on truth. I always think that when I. You see. When you see a movie and it starts with, this is based on a true story, and you go, well, isn't everything based on a true story? Who the fuck are you kidding? Based on a true story? Sure, and it's based on a true story. But then you add, you know, aliens and stuff and, you know. Or whatever you're adding. Anyway, the upshot is I don't think I did want to be a comedian. It wasn't something I aspired to. Some people are do. And I admire it. I guess it's a skill set which there are some great. Like Billy Connolly, I think, who. The great Scottish comedian who was. Billy's about 20 years older than me. So when Billy was just coming through and breaking through, he was in his early 30s and I was in my early teens. And he was very profane. And comedy was done in albums, vinyl albums back then. And we would get his vinyl album and our parents would not allow us to listen to it because he sent swear words and he was dirty and stuff. But it was great. He was so good. But Billy is also a musician, so he would play a little. He actually came through playing in a band called the Humble Bums with Jerry Rafferty. He was a folk musician. He's a good banjo player, Billy, and he's a good singer. And so he kind of drifted into comedy from doing. Playing folk clubs. And so I was very heavily influenced by Billy because he was from the same socioeconomic background as me. He was the first person I ever saw who was famous, who sounded like we did, like, you know, my family or my friends and stuff. So he. He was very. And he was. And he's. He was and is a great comedian. I mean, for me, he's like. He's like Jackie Robinson almost, if you know what I mean. For me, it was like he had that kind of. He was the. The first guy into the big leagues. And I think that. That if anything made me want to be a comedian, it was maybe to emulate Billy. But Billy is a very. Is a raconteur. He's a musician, he's a writer, he's an artist. And so whatever path he carved, I think I kind of rather pathetically follow in his wake like a little kind of tribute band. Not the Zen wrong being a tribute baron, but that's what it is.

Eric Andre
Hello, this is Craig Ferguson and I want to let you know I have a brand new stand up comedy special out now on YouTube. It's called I'm so happy and I would be so happy if you checked it out. To watch the special, just go to my YouTube channel, Hecraig Ferguson show and it's just right there. Just click it and play it and it's free. I can't. Look, I'm not going to come around your house and show you how to do it. If you can't do it, then you can't have it. But if you can figure it out, it's yours. All right. This is from Killy Dillmeister, which almost sounds like like you may be related to Lenny Kilmeister. From Motorhead, but probably not, because. Different name. What music are you currently listening to at the moment? I have. For some reason, I'm listening to a lot of Schubert. I know it's the weirdest thing. I listen to a very eclectic taste of music, as most people do, and I listen to a lot of different things. I like death metal and bossa nova and everything in between. But I reread a book recently that I had read a long time ago, a book called the Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. It's a great book. If you've never read it, give it a go. It's a fabulous book. And in the Master, Margarita, there's a reference at one point when I'm not going to do any spoilers for you, but the protagonists imagine a place where everything is all right and they can walk in the park and listen to Schubert. And I thought, I don't really know anything about Schubert. So I listened to some Schubert. And I gotta be honest, I know this is probably not news to some of you, but. Pretty fucking good. Pretty, pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of. It seems terrible thing to say that I'm not a huge fan of classical music, but I'm kind of. Kind of. Not really. You know, there seems to be a lot of. I'm like, oh, settle down. But he doesn't have a lot of that. He's a. It's a very melodic and sweeping and kind of ethereal and gorgeous. So the big news from today's show, I think that is going to rock. It's just going to shake the foundations of the music industry is that I think Schubert is pretty good. All right. This is from it. Becht Ibct Ipbecht says it's a lovely name. Ibegt. Just one name, like Sting or Madonna or Flash. I don't know who Flash is. Flash Gordon. But that wouldn't be one name. That would be two names. It would be Flash. Just Flash. Maybe I'll call myself Flash. Flash. Hey, it's Flash. Hi, everyone, it's me, Flash. Anyway, this is from. It's Becket, who is. He's just got one name, like Flash, he said, of the many venues you've performed in, which one sticks out to you the most and why? Well, I have performed in a great deal of venues, some of them quite unusual. I remember I did stand up once on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. It was weird. It was one of those corporate gigs which everybody in show business does like. Everybody. If you think, oh, yeah, My favorite rock band would never do a corporate gig. They've fucking done it. Everybody does it. So I was doing a corporate gig on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. And all they did was they. Just. After the day's trading was over. A bunch of stockbrokers got together. And, you know, they hired me to come up and, I don't know, tell them stories and jokes and stuff. And I did it, and it was okay. I felt a little weird doing it. And I think it was a little bit of a strange experience. But it worked out all right. And that was quite memorable. One of the memorable things about that was there was no dressing room. There's no dressing rooms in the New York Stock Exchange. So there wasn't a place for me to go and prepare myself for the day. You know, to put on my outfit and makeup and stuff. But usually there's a dressing room or something. Where you can go and, like, you know, hang out until it's time to go on. On stage or on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. And they didn't have anywhere for me to sit. So they said, oh, we'll just go into the chairman's office. You can just go into the chairman's office. Of the New York Stock Exchange. Because he's not there. Now, I don't know who that is, but, I mean, it's somewhat super powerful. Probably like, I don't know, Satan or something. Satan's office at the New York. I don't know if, Say. I don't think it's Satan. But somebody, you know, somebody very powerful. Who runs the New York Stock Exchange. And they had this very fancy office. And obviously it was in the evening, so this individual wasn't there. And I went into the office and on the wall was hanging a Jackson Pollock painting. Now, I don't know if you know anything about Jackson Pollock. But Jackson Pollock was the. He's the scatter man or modern art. And the paintings are the tail paintings. They're abstracts and they're kind of. They're evocative and emotional pieces of art. But they're not figurative. You know, they don't have. There's not a picture of a cat or, you know, a little boy fishing. Or a senorita turning to you or anything like that. So, you know. So it's not. It's the kind of thing my wife is more involved in. She knows all about that, but I don't really. I like paintings of things, you know, like, oh, look at that painting. It's a painting of A cat, isn't it really good? But she understands Rothko and Jackson Pollock and, you know, Cy Twombly and all those very clever people. But it was the first time I'd been in the presence of an actual Jackson Pollock painting. And the first thing that, you know, I'd seen reproductions of his paintings in photographs, as I'm sure all of you have. And we could probably put some up in the website or something. We have a website and we probably do. We have a website, right? So you can put a Jackson Pollock up and you go, oh, yeah, I know what you mean. But what was interesting was that being in the presence of the actual painting was a very different experience. It hit me like a freight train. It was amazing because I was like, oh my God, this is. And I can't put into words what it did. And I know this sounds fanciful and a bit kind of, you know. Oh, really, Craig? But it was a very emotional response and I couldn't describe it in words. And look, I'm no fucking slouch when it comes to describing things. I work with words. I'm fairly decent, you know, describing how I feel or how I see things, or I like to think I'm fairly erudite, but I. I couldn't express the emotion that this painting seemed to construct or elicit from me. And I was. I'm still kind of impressed by that. I'm kind of amazed by that. And it made me. Kind of drew me into. Wasn't all happiness and it wasn't all sadness. It was. It was a very weird kind of thing. The only thing I can kind of equate to is a sort of fairly low impact drug, you know, like maybe shit cannabis, but it kind of. It kind of. Or maybe like weak, like a weak diazepam or something. It made me feel kind of good and a little bit different and. But it was a. It was a visual experience. That's what I thought was so amazing about it. And so, I mean, I became kind of a. A little more converted to the. To the world of abstract expressionism from doing that gig. So in answer to the. How many. Which venue sticks out to you the most? I don't know if that sticks out the most, but. But what it does do is it certainly changed me. There are venues that I've played, you know, in doing stand up. I think I'm the only person I know that's played the Carnegie hall in Dunfermline, Scotland, and Carnegie hall in New York City. I've known him and they're very different venues. Or as we say in New York, Carnegie Hall. But as they say in Dunfermline, Carnegie Hall. I think probably there's some more Carnegie Halls. I think there's one in Pittsburgh. There's got to be one in Pittsburgh. They're very different venues. The Carnegie hall in Dunfermline and the Carnegie hall or Carnegie hall in New York. When I played the Carnegie hall in Dunfermline, Scotland, it's before I stopped drinking. It was in the early days of standup, when I was still performing as a character that I called Bing Hitler. It was a whole story. And when I was doing a character thing and. And I was playing a kind of. A kind of buffoon, a kind of idiot who was sort of from Dunfermline, Scotland. Now, that's a bit of a problem because I'm not from Dunfermline, Scotland. I'm from a town called Cumbernauld, which is just outside Glasgow in Scotland, kind of the New Jersey of Glasgow. And. And so I. So I was a kind of natural enemy to the audience there anyway. And it was a lot of punk rockers and stuff like that. And it was. The upshot of it was that I was drinking. I went on stage. I did not go down well with the audience, and I was still playing a guitar at the time. And they. They started throwing things at me, and then they rushed the stage and they stole my guitar. And things were getting a little hairy. And I had to get a cab out of there to get back to Edinburgh to get away from the audience who were at that point, had they kind of morphed from being an audience into more of a kind of angry mob? And they chased me out of the venue. And I jumped into a taxi and I was driving away in the taxi and somebody threw a rock and it broke the back window of the taxi. I had to pay the taxi driver, but he was like, you'll have to pay for that. I went, fine, just keep going. I mean, it was like. And he drove me back to Edinburgh. It was very cold because the window. And it was glass. But I had to pay for his rear window to get fixed. This is a long time ago. And that was my experience playing the Carnegie hall in Dunfermline. Now, years and years later, I played Carnegie hall in New York City. I actually did it twice in the same day. I did. I had booked a show and it sold out. And they said, we do another show. And I mean, sure, he said, but we only have a matinee available. At half past two in the afternoon. All right, I'll give it a go. So I played Carnegie hall in New York twice in the same day at half past two in the afternoon. And I've got to be honest, it was a little sedate. It was a bit of a sedate. It was more like a Schubert concert, to be honest with you. But the evening show was very much the same thing. And nobody beat me up or chased me out of the venue At Carnegie hall in New York. Nobody stole my guitar. I wasn't playing a guitar at that point. And the audience seemed much happier with the show than the audience in Dunfermline, the New York audience. I will say this, though, the difference is that by the time I played Carnegie hall in New York, I had stopped drinking. I had stopped drinking for about, probably about 15 or 20 years at that point. So I imagined the performance was of a different type. I think that that's the case and I rather loved it. I will give you a little piece of information about Carnegie hall as well. Just to say, if you're ever playing it, be very careful. There is a very steep rake on the stage. A rake is a kind of gradient on the stage which slants towards the front of the stage so that the audience, when they're looking from the auditorium, get a better view. I think it's really for. For plays and for orchestras and stuff like that. It gives people a better view or maybe it projects sound better or something, I don't know. But the Carnegie hall in New York is a very steep rake and it's made of wood, the floor. So all I'm saying is don't wear your socks when you're playing Carnegie hall in New York. Wear a pair of grippy shoes. Or you could come a cropper. I learned that the hard way.

Eric Andre
This is from Tyler Brewer, who says. Hi, my name is Tyler. I know. I have a question about fatherhood. All right. Later this week, my second child will be born, and I'll become a father of two. Yep. What tips do you have for someone bringing new life into the world? Well, Tyler, as the father, I have to say it's pretty obvious you are not the one bringing new life into the world. You're the one witnessing new life be brought into the world. I suppose. I mean, it's semantics, really. I was there at the birth of both my children, and I. I have to say, it's quite a show, isn't it? Anyone who's been alive. Human birth, I mean, look, for the mothers involved, you know, I can only. I can't even imagine. I mean, it's just craziness, but then pain and all that. But as a. As a witness to your child being born, my goodness, it's a weird. It's. Again, again, it's something that's very difficult to describe. You know, maybe I'm learning on this edition of the podcast that I'm nowhere near as erudite as I think. I. I can't really describe the emotion of what it's like to. Because, you know, when it. When someone is. Is being. When a human is being born in a room and, like, there's a Kind of weird, like anticipation and then someone used there and like, oh, my God, so wild. And there's a lot of, you know, a lot of gory business. I'm no good with any of that. I would have been a terrible doctor. That and the fact that, you know, I'm not clever enough to be a doctor. But also I think that I, you know, to be, to feel squeamish is not something you want in a doctor. You don't want a doctor going, oh, like that. That's what you want in a doctor. Do I have any tips about bringing you life, tips about fatherhood? You know, it's funny, I, I, you know, I spent. Because I'm playing in Jersey. My oldest kid, who's now nearly 24, he's not a kid anymore. We were hanging out after the show last night. He lives nearby and, and it's an amazing thing about. I actually remember it from the movie Lost in Translation when Bill Murray's character is talking to Scarlett Johansson's character about his children and said that, you know, as they're babies and they're little children, they're so adorable and they're little children and they're funny and cute and all those things. And then when they grow up, and this is at the point of Father Rudimer, you know, the. My, my youngest boy is 14 now, so he's not a, not a baby. He's not, you know, fully cooked, but he's not a baby. And. But, I mean, is anyone fully cooked or. I mean, I'm 62. I don't know if I'm fully cooked. But the. I've been baked a couple of times. I'm all right. The business of what, what Bill Murray's character says in that movie is that they become just these very interesting human beings, maybe the most interesting people, you know. And they do. My kids are the most interesting people I know. And if you know me, you know, I know some pretty interesting people, but nobody is interested as my kids. All right, this is from Elsa G. Hernandez Gonzalez, I'm guessing. Maybe, you know, I think I can guess your kind of ethnic background. I think Elsa G. Hernandez Gonzalez. I may be wrong. Of course. That may be a married name. And you've married into the Hernandez Gonzalez's. Whatever it is. Great. You've spoken about your favorite bands and artists in your talks, and I've wondered, would you make a playlist of your favorites to share? Like a playlist on Spotify or anything like that? It's very long. It's always interesting to see what others enjoy, especially if it's someone with good music taste. Yeah, I would do that. It's like making a mixtape for someone you don't know. I think that making playlists is kind of interesting from artists that you like. So I guess that's what Eliza's saying, that. Yeah, yeah, I would do that. I think there would be some Schubert on it, obviously. Then I'd balance it with some Motorhead, maybe the Ramones. Here's the thing about the Ramones. I want to tell you. It was something. I was talking to a British person about this fairly recently, and they were talking about. It was an English person, someone from North London, which is kind of a niche market. And they were telling me, as I'm sure many Americans have heard before, when talking to English people, the phrase that begins, you see, the thing about Americans. You see, the thing about Americans is I'm like, well, what Americans are we talking about here? I. I've never understood that. Is it. Well, you see the thing about Americans. And then they start talking to you about, you know, some guy they've seen on a British documentary who was, you know, survived on his boat in a, you know, hurricane in Florida, and he was wearing a hat that said, who farted? And. And they say, that's America. That's part of America, and God bless them. That's great. I think that's awesome. But the. The idea that America is one thing. Well, talk to Eliza G. Hernandez Gonzalez or Craig Ferguson. I mean, America's very. As we know, it's a. How do you even define that? But what this person says to you, the thing about America, two things. One was the Americans are such loonies. I'm like, okay, well, I think there are certainly loonies who exist here, but America doesn't have exclusivity on loonies. And the second one is, you always see this in British people. British people from the intelligentsia, bourgeois British people also always say this, think about America is they have no sense of irony. They have no sense of irony. And I remember one of the writers on the Late Night show, I was telling them about this, a guy called Ted Mulcaron, who was one of the head writers on the Late Night show. And he said, americans have no sense of irony. I said, that's what they always say. He said, well, that's rich coming from a country that calls itself Great Britain. I was like, oh, touche. Saucer of milk for you, Ted. Anyway, the reason why I bring this up is about the Ramones because The type of America that I wanted to be when I was a kid was a very odd mixture of I wanted to be an astronaut because I'd seen astronauts landed on the moon when I was a little kid, and they were American. So I wanted to be one of those. But as I got a bit older, I wanted also to be in the Ramones, because I saw them. I wanted to be like the Ramones, and I wanted to be like Iggy Pop, and I wanted to be like people who were in rock bands and people who chewed gum and had teeth. And here's the thing that really got me. When I first visited America in 1975, when I was 13, I went to a bowling alley for the first time. We didn't have bowling alleys in Scotland at that time. I went to a bowling alley. I'd never seen a bowling alley before. I was like, this is amazing. And I tasted a beverage, and I remember it to this day. It was root beer over crushed ice. And I was like, oh, my God, whatever this is, I have to have more of this, as much as possible for the rest of my life. Now, I'll be honest with you. I don't drink a lot of root beer over crushed ice, but every now and again, I have one, and it brings me back to that. And anyway, what I'm saying is, for some reason, I was talking about the Ramones. I want to be a Ramones type, an Iggy Pop American, but also an astronaut American. I think what I like about being in America is you can be anything. It's America. Oh, well, here's an email about that, and then probably we'll get done after this. But this is from Tony Gallo, who says, when you first landed in Smithtown, which is the first place that I went to in America, Smithtown, Long Island. On your first trip to America, what hit you hardest? The accents? The aggressive left turns, or the crushing realization that this was it? What was your funniest moment of culture shock? I don't know. I think I've been, you know, mining the culture shock thing for a long time now. I'm kind of like the Scottish Jakoff Smirnoff or something. You know, it's like in my country, you know, when I first came here, it was the root beer over crushed ice. That was the thing that really got me. I. That was the first way. And also, you got to understand, it was 1975 when I first came here. It was the summer of 1975. I was 13. I'd never been out of Glasgow, and I go to Prestwick Airport in Scotland, and I get on an airplane that lands in JFK in 1975, and I go from Glasgow, having never left there, never been anywhere, to New York City in 1975, and to this day is to my mind, still the greatest city in the world. New York City, it's just over the George Washington Bridge. And I'm going to go there in a minute to answer a question that's come in because I moved back to Scotland for a long time and people say to me, you still live in Scotland? I moved back to Scotland for about five years. And I don't. I don't. I live in New York City. So I'm gonna go home. I'll see you guys later. Bye.
